Why did City Council backtrack on letting bars and nightclubs stay open to 4 a.m.? And who exactly was in favor of later let-out times in the first place? Denver Post city government reporter Elliott Wenzler joins guest host Adrian Felix to ⁠give us the scoop⁠ from inside council chambers. Elliott breaks down what happened to the new nightlife regulations, explains why council is ⁠debating a “slavery acknowledgement⁠,” and swaps wins and fails of the week with Adrian. 

Adrian talked about ⁠wildfire smoke⁠. Elliott mentioned ⁠Denver’s Women's World Cup hopes⁠ and ⁠the flooding on Colfax⁠.
