On this edition of Happy Friday, Arthur captains the ship as the master of segues between segments. Do Kevin and Jon appreciate his way with words or do they bust his chops about it? We'll let you guess. Or you could listen! Here's what's included this week:

* Arthur encourages everyone to do a mental health check-in and find the gratitude in their own lives.

* The guys discuss the absolute bananas insanity of the World Cup Final.

* In N Out Burger announces its first location with a Denver zip code. h/t 9News for the story.

* Casa Bonita announces it will open in May 2023, and we bring you the news courtesy of the Denver Business Journal.

* Westword shares a story about a bill that requires all eggs be cage-free. But what does that really mean?

* The guys discuss the retirements of Bill Engvall and Ron White from the Blue Collar Comedy Tour and that tour's legacy. Cracked.com has a great headline about it.

* Elon Musk announces he won't sell Twitter, but he'll seek a new CEO. The guys have a lot of thoughts about Elon Musk.
