Polis will live stream his conversation with the creators of the hit TV show South Park to mark the 24th anniversary of the show on Friday morning. They will likely discuss Colorado's favorite fictional small town and other timely topics.

Last month, The Hollywood Reporter posted an article stating Parker and Stone were looking to buy Casa Bonita, which is featured in one of the most popular episodes of South Park. While the restaurant has filed for bankruptcy protection, it isn't publicly for sale.

The Save Casa Bonita group has also been working to do whatever it can to get the restaurant fully operational. Right now, the arcade and gift shop are open with tours of the facility being conducted throughout the day.

Watch the discussion live on CBSN on Friday, Aug. 13 at 9:30 a.m.
