Our mission at NoCo FM is to focus on giving a platform to individuals within marginalized communities. We feel that it's more important than ever to listen to the needs of our Black family, and the wider Black community. Instead of our usual NoCo Live show, tonight we will are hosting a conversation / Q&A with special guests: - Dr. Ijeoma Ononuju, Assistant Professor at Northern Arizona University and host of "Two Dudes and a Chick" - Terra Wre, a Biology Student at the University of Northern Colorado, drag performer, and an advocate for the black LGBT community. - Sydney Johnson, General Manager at Moe's BBQ and co-host of "Talk N Roll" Let's come together to listen, and learn.

Tonight we have a special guest joining us: Mariah Foster of The Artis Project, a new artistic collaboration network based down the road in Greeley, CO. Check them out on Twitch! Also on the show: What is The Artis Project, and how did it start? Why is collaboration and community more important now than ever?

It's the day before #SuperTuesday and we're talking about the two most important things facing our society today: tomorrow's primary, and Bone Thugs & Harmony. More stuff we talked about: Pete Butt and his controversial comments about being gay: Was it internalized homophobia? A simple gaffe on the national stage? Did it cost him the nomination? (It didn't.) Amy Klobuchar also dropped out. (womp womp) We run down the remaining Democratic contenders and who each of us is voting for on Tuesday. The evils of propaganda: we hate Mike Bloomberg. Bernie's appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience Elizabeth Warren and her "Native American" heritage The importance of local politics and how to get involved This is the darkest timeline: Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Change Name to Boneless Thugs-N-Harmony (for Buffalo Wild Wings) How much money would it take for you to sell yourself out and change your name? Charles is performing in a drag show this weekend! The Room is an experience and somehow it cost $6 million to produce. KevKat played Rocky in The Rocky Horror Picture show! Watch the video version of the show: https://youtu.be/6vFJ6UHQsEI

Charles is back, everyone! We start off talking about Mike Bloomberg not knowing how to interact with man's best friend and cute baby koala stuffed animal videos. Since KevKat and Charles have finally see it, we go in-depth on JOJO RABBIT, its masterful performances and the ways it straddles the line between comedy and the horrors of World War II. Spoilers abound, and they end at 24:00. Fake spoilers follow the real spoilers. Chris still doesn't understand TikTok but that doesn't stop us from talking about it. Later on in the show, we're joined by call-in guest killskyy, a Los Angeles-based trans musician and artist, for discussion about her music and upcoming shows. And since Charles has returned, that also means it's the return of Charles' Energy Drink Corner, featuring new delights from our favorite cookie mistresses, the Girl Scouts.

Charles is stuck at work so Chris is riding shotgun for this one. KevKat brought some magic beans and hilarity ensues.

CORRECTION: On this episode of NoCo LIVE, we discuss the circumstances surrounding the tragic death of former basketball superstar Kobe Bryant, his young daughter Gianna, and seven other people in a helicopter crash on Sunday, January 26, 2020. During the course of the conversation, we made references to the notion that Mr. Bryant may have held anti-LGBT views. This information was inaccurate. While it is true that Mr. Bryant made an anti-gay slur in 2011, he later atoned for the mistake, and took action against others who made similar slurs in his presence, receiving praise from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation as well as many other outlets. While NoCo LIVE is first and foremost an entertainment show, it's important to us when we discuss current events to make sure that we get our facts straight, and in this instance, we did not. We regret this error, and will endeavor to do better fact checking in the future. The gang is all here and we kick things off with a deeper dive on TikTok. Charles posted a video that's gone viral and weird commenters come out of the woodwork. KevKat has a hard time dealing with the comments and we talk about the pros and cons of interacting with an audience and why creators should stay out of the comments section. Ironically, we experience this live when a troll briefly joins the Twitch chat on the show and grumpy Chris breaks out the ban hammer. We get deep for a moment as Chris had a death in the family, which also brings us to Kobe Bryant's tragic death, his controversial past, and whether you can separate someone's achievements from their actions and how to feel when someone like that dies. Life is short, kids. Hug your loved ones.

The gang is back together, and we start off talking about KevKat becoming an unexpected internet sensation on TikTok and the dangers of social media criticism and responsibilities that come with it. Also: Chris almost dies due to this week's Charles' Energy Drink Corner concoction and he gives his mini-review of the excellent Jojo Rabbit. We (badly) explain the differences between cheap and expensive vodka. Charles is also a lightweight now. What are our favorite beers? Seriously, we don't just talk about alcohol on this show. A certain mega-popular podcast (not ours) is getting an animated TV show. Plus: bean dip, the merits of shower water, and much more! (Aired live on January 20, 2020) Prefer video?
