Denver Stiffs: for Denver Nuggets fans

Latest Episodes:

The Dig: The Quarantine Edition | Part 1 of ? Apr 02, 2020

Show notes

March is finally over, and what a year it was.The Dig has been in isolation along with the rest of Colorado, but it’s finally time for us to take back some normalcy from this virus. Frankly, it took us awhile to get our situations sorted out and to figure out what to do with the show. We still aren’t sure exactly where we’ll end up, but please know that we want to do our very small part in trying to make this situation a bit more bearable for everyone stuck at home, working essential jobs, or caring for the health of themselves or their family. If our show gets even one laugh or elicits a single positive thought for any of our Stiffs' listeners, it'll be worth it. We love you all, and we wish the best to you and your loved ones.
