    May 5 2026

    Mark and Joleen return to 'Happening in Henderson' to navigate the sun-bleached reality of suburban life with a healthy dose of local skepticism. This episode dives into the judicial battle for Department 1 and the federal fight over Southern Nevada's greenery, while exploring why the city is finally cracking down on the e-bike "menace" outside local middle schools. We break down the return of William Karlsson for the Golden Knights' playoff run and the "firehose" of information facing the Raiders' new QB, all while questioning if the service at Rosa Ristorante is worth the upscale price tag. From the impending traffic chaos of the 215's new "diverging diamond" to a sobering look at a real estate market that's finally hitting a plateau, we provide the essential guide to surviving the Nevada heat and the local news cycle. Join us for a balanced look at the headlines that actually matter--just remember to buy your mom some flowers before Joleen starts naming names.
