Following the resounding success of last year's inaugural event, owner Mark Fitzpatrick is carrying forward the tradition to honor 'God's design for sexuality.' As Fitzpatrick proudly states, 'If it weren't for heteros, none of us would be here, and we're here to celebrate that truth with good drinks, great people, and a whole lot of fun.'
Throughout June, Old State Saloon will offer a lineup of special drinks celebrating heterosexuality, including the Brojito, Baby Maker Mimosa, Tetten Russian, and Alpha Mule. The month will feature themed days to keep the party going:

Eagles' Lane Johnson shines on the small screen with a captivating pre-camp interview
Former Eagles interview a current legend about all things Birds. As one ages, they learn to appreciate things more, such as each Philadelphia Eagles season and another summer. Growing older can sometimes mean that certain parts of the body hurt with no apparent explanation. Why does my calf hurt? All I did was go to sleep last night! It's great to wake up in the morning and get out of bed. But there are other facets to aging. We mature and grow wiser (or at least we should). We learn to stop and 'smell the roses' as they say. We've said all that to say this. As much as we love summertime, Sundays without Eagles football are a drag. Thank Heaven for sports networks and a recent interview featuring two former Eagles and current legend Lane Johnson. FS1's The Facility welcomes Lane Johnson for an exclusive interview There's an old football saying, one coined by another franchise. "Once a raider, always a Raider..." You've probably heard that before. This was expressed when the team was in Los Angeles and Oakland. It hasn't died with the Las Vegas Raiders. There isn't an Eagles parallel. No one says, "Once an Eagle, always an Eagle", but in some ways, the feeling is similar. Unless, of course, we're discussing Chip Kelly or Jason Babin, there is a tendency to check in on former Eagles to see how they are doing. Frankly, that's the only reason we tune into FS1's The Facility. Two former Eagles are hosts, though we associated one with the organization (LeSean McCoy) more than the other (Emmanuel Acho). Anywho... One of our favorite Birds recently joined the broadcast for an exclusive interview. Franchise legend Lane Johnson was recently named as one of two Eagles among the 21st century's top 25 draft picks of the past 25 years. The future Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee discussed everything from Jeff Stoutland's brilliance and the difficulty Philadelphia will face in repeating to, of course, Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts. There are too many great quotes and memorable talking points to pull from this one, so here's a suggestion... Watch this one in its entirety when you have a moment. You'll undoubtedly be glad that you did.

Here's how much bigger Ricks College got when it became BYU-Idaho 25 years ago
This article was first published in the ChurchBeat newsletter. Sign up to receive the newsletter in your inbox each Wednesday night. Last week marked the 25th anniversary of President Gordon B. Hinckley's announcement that Ricks College, a junior college in Rexburg, Idaho, would become Brigham Young University-Idaho. The goal was to educate more students more fully, which raises a natural question: How many more students have studied at the university than would have been on campus if the school had remained a junior college? Of course, there's no perfect answer. Ricks might have grown larger, for example, but we will never know. What we can do is see how many students did walk through the doors over the past quarter of a century. Here's what we know (and saving the biggest number for last): During the 1999-2000 school year, just before the major announcement by the president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a total of 14,516 students enrolled at Ricks, according to Brett Sampson, managing director of University Relations at BYU-Idaho. Last year, 32,090 students enrolled at BYU-Idaho. In all, Sampson said that 199,647 students matriculated on the Rexburg campus between 2000-2025. But remember, there has been another massive shift since that announcement — the addition of online learning. If you include online students, BYU-Idaho enrolled 61,725 students last year. BYU-Idaho began to offer online degrees in 2008. If Ricks had continued as a junior college, it may have added an online component. Maybe the online education era would have sparked a later move to university status, too, so that students could gain access to four-year degrees. So, how many students have enrolled at BYU-Idaho since 2000? It's important to note that one can't simply add up the yearly enrollments. You can't take 15,000 per year at Ricks and multiply it by 25 years, or 34,000 per year at BYU-Idaho and multiply that by 25, because the math in both cases would count some students two or three or four more times. But here's what did actually happen: BYU-Idaho now has had 272,126 different students matriculate on campus or online between 2000 and 2025, Sampson said. That's more than a quarter of a million individuals in 25 years.

What's in Our Queue? ‘Overcompensating' and More
I like to know what people are talking about. And as a Times reporter it's not just a personal curiosity but a professional necessity. Still, sometimes I find quiet pleasure and actual respite in taking something in just because → I heard my teenagers discussing this Prime Video series about a college freshman from Idaho who's struggling to avoid his reality (a closeted gay student who passes for bro). The show's creator and star is the comedian Benito Skinner. I wanted to text in sick to binge the whole season. At a time when Supreme Court decisions are of enormous consequence, I have been ensconced in early episodes of this podcast. Its first episode devotes 40 minutes to the court's interpretation of three words in the Eighth Amendment: 'cruel and unusual.' It's hard to define what constitutes a riveting podcast, but I know it when I hear it. An apolitical murder-mystery set in the White House's private residence, the Netflix series is led by Uzo Aduba and filled with zany 'upstairs-downstairs' plots. Each episode pays subtle homage to the classic film or book ('The Third Man,' for example) it's named for. One of my favorite documentaries is 'Searching for Sugar Man,' about Sixto Rodriguez, a Detroit musician whose attempts in the 1960s and '70s to make it fell short until … well, there is a twist, and you should just watch. The film turned me on to Rodriguez's albums, and I have been listening a lot to 'Cold Fact.' I recently read and loved Trent Preszler's memoir of growing up in South Dakota, which describes his experiences, including those of being gay in a family, religion and community that largely rejected difference. When Preszler's father died, he left his son his toolbox — talk about a metaphor — and Preszler uses it to make sense of his complex grief.
