This year they took on the Utah BDR and were met with one incident after another, but ended with the same results as previous...coming back a better version of themselves!

On August 26, 2023 a group of men protested the Douglas County Pride Festival that happened at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. They protested peacefully by simply wearing shirts that read Stand to Protect Children on the front and Jesus Loves You (and so do I) on the back. They were met with vulgarity, assault and intimidation. The media has taken one side of the story. In this episode Jimmy recalls the events of that day.
