Balloon Boy, Rapping Realtors, and More of CO’s Biggest Viral Moments
Every so often, something really weird happens in Colorado, and sometimes it goes mega-viral, making the world stop and look in our direction. So what do they see? Apart from the fact that Coloradans are capable of some pretty hilarious, bizarre, and sometimes awful things, what do our biggest viral moments say about us? Host Bree Davies sits down with a couple of our favorite guests — politics and green chile correspondent Justine Sandoval and local history aficionado David Gilbert — to revisit some of Colorado’s biggest viral moments.
Watch the whole “Fresh Prince of Denv-Air” video if you dare!
What viral moments did we miss? We want to hear about the ones that made you laugh, cry, or stare dumbfounded at the crazy things Coloradans are capable of! Seriously, we know there’s probably a ton more that we forgot. Text or leave us a voicemail with your name and neighborhood, and you might hear it on the show: 720-500-5418
