10-13-25 - 6am - Jon Caldara Filling In - Peace In Gaza and Ryanair

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Happy Columbus Day or whatever Poulos wants to call it.
I even took tomorrow off and forgot about it. But
they I'll take a four day weekend. I got to
catch up to Michael Brown in all the days he's
been using through the year. I was down at the
aquarium last night and yeah, didn't get shot or killed,
so that's a plus. I had a great dinner, So

(00:23):
let's get ready for the show, and you guys have
a great day.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
You know, life is good when you keep your expectations low.
That's been the secret to my success, and obviously this
gentleman as well, which is hey, I went to downtown
Denver and I didn't get shot, stabbed, beat.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Up, or robbed, and my car was still there. Well.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
The good thing is Chicago also had a pretty good weekend.
Only two dead and nine woodended shootings over the weekend.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
So hey, look at that. That's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, it shows you gun control is working, absolutely working. Hey,
I'm John Caldera in for the vacationing Michael Brown, who
is out of town with some family time.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
He has he has grandkids, well he.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Thinks that there is grandkids, but you know the kids
are getting attention and that's all that matters. Give me
a call three h three seven one three eight two
five five seven one three talk.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
We will have a.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Theme throughout the day because today's a special day. It's
a historic day, it's it's a day we we we celebrate.
Governments take the day off because it's no broad Day. Yeah,
it is no broad Day. No broad Day is the

(01:49):
annual observance on October thirteenth on which women, why women
are encouraged to go brawless as a means to encourage
breast cancer awareness.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
This is from the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And
in solidarity, both Dragon and I have taken off our
bras And.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
If you need any support out there, I'm willing to
lend a hand.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Really, it's six in the morning. You needed you needed
to do that at six in the morning. My wife's
not awake yet. It's fine. Oh well, didn't get in.
Why you can all right?

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Users on social media encouraged to post the hashtag no
broad Day to promote the awareness of breast cancer symptoms
and oh wait, and to encourage gender equality. So we
can't fight breast cancer without also encouraging gender equality. It

(02:54):
seems like two very different things. You know, I'm for
no broad Day, so I'm gonna go brawl less the
rest of the week.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
And as I'm getting older, it's a bigger and bigger deal.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
What do you do with men who have what do
we call it moves? I loved the Seinfeld solution, the
bro or the man's eer.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Hm hmm. All right.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
The observance has spread worldwide. The event is spun off
into a medical event in Canada encourages breast cancer survivors
to consider reconstructive surgery. All right, it's funny the great
stripes we've made in breast cancer. It's been remarkable, mostly

(03:57):
because of early detection. And then then we have all
these wonderful things to celebrate and to make breastcarncer awareness,
including today no broad Day, and lots of T shirts
that say things like I love boobies and you'd get
away with these things at school, so all the kids
like it. You've got football players wearing those ridiculous pink

(04:19):
shoes or doing something in pink.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
To celebrate it.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
All.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Really good male prostate surgery it just.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Doesn't get the same sort of celebration. Why, you know,
and if prostate cancer was going to have a color.
What would it be? It would just be gray. It
would be some old guy color. Women just have all
the fun, all right? Three three seven to one, three eight,

(04:51):
two five five or the talkback line, or of course
text us. Where should we begin, Well, let's do it
at the beginning. The incredible, doable success of the peace
process in Gaza.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
How how little credit do you think are President's going
to get for this?

Speaker 2 (05:16):
All twenty living hostages are back in Israel. This was
the main stumbling point. This is a huge victory for Trump.
It's a huge victory for the world. And as Trump said,
the war is over. Well, how is it that the

(05:40):
war got over? But mostly Hamas was forced to accept
a deal it didn't want. The militant group had very
little choice but to agree.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
They relented. This was This is.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
A huge victory for Trump, for which I doubt he's
gonna get much much credit, will he?

Speaker 3 (06:14):
I think? I think we.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Wake up today in a much safer world than we
did a couple of days ago. This peace process, this
no firing, This this end of the war. This truce
has held now for a few days, which might not
seem like a lot to you, but is substantial.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
So let me ask you this question. What ended this war?
Was it?

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Was it Israeli strength? Was it because Americans backed Israel?
Was it because there was resolve on Israel's part? What
do you say if you've been one of those Net
and Yahoo haters and there's a bunch of them, and
for reasonable reasons. There are all sorts of evidence of

(07:13):
him being a very crooked politician. Time will tell, and
that he needed this war to keep himself in office,
to have a distraction. Oh, we're going to find out
how that this war is over or sure looks like over.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
And by the way, it's the Middle East. It's over
for now, It's over for now. I don't think.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Americans understand Israeli polite. You are surrounded by people who
want to kill you. If you live in Israel. It
is a bizarre situation. And we in America we don't
feel it. You know, if you live in Poland, if

(08:01):
you live in any former Soviet block country, you're surrounded
by a country who wants to evade you and take you.
Here in America, we are surrounded by two beautiful oceans
that are a natural barrier.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
For an invading force.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
We've got people up north who want to watch our
entertainment and send US hockey players. We've got a neighbor
down south that, for the most part, would love to
come and live here, so they keep sneaking in to work.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
We have it good here. We have it good Israel.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
By contrast, well, the forces that surround them want them dead,
want them bombed out of existence. You know that the
old phrase never again matters there and without the United States,
Israel falls. It's just that simple. Yeah, I understand isolationists.

(09:14):
I understand not wanting to help. I get that. I
think we're in a safer world because America defends Israel.
And I think the best way to have a safe
Israel is to have a strong America and make sure
that Israel is strong.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Let's switch topics.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
It's exactly the same, exactly the same when it comes
to Ukraine.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Isn't it.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
When America stands up and helps the Ukraine? Or is
it just Ukraine? I'm still old school. I want to
call it Kiev instead of Kiev. We want to help them.
When we stand up and give them the means to
defend themselves, they are in a better position.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
We are safer. Europe is safer.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
The biggest failure in the Ukrainian War was from our
former president Biden, who played for a stalemate. The people
of Ukraine needed real weapons. They got a fraction of
what they needed. They needed three hundred to four hundred tanks,
They got thirty tanks. They needed aircraft. They didn't get

(10:33):
the aircraft.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
Yeah, they got enough to keep fighting in that great Vietnam.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Style of a perma war, a perma crisis, a perma conflict.
We'll just keep it going. Because Biden was too scared
to win, and we found out that the Russians were
not the fighting force they claimed to be. To warn

(11:02):
for North Koreans and for the Russians emptying their jails
of the most psychotic, violent criminals, they wouldn't have any
soldiers left to bring to Ukraine. What do we learn
from success in Gaza that we can apply to Ukraine?

(11:23):
And how difficult is it for those with Trump derangement
to give Trump any credit for this success today?

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Will it hold? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
I really don't know if the peace will hold. It's
the Middle East, it's volatile. In America right here, right here,
We've got this situation where America is turning its back
on Israel. We are having more and more Palestinian sympathetic

(12:00):
immigrants coming into the United States. Our schools and entertainment
are changing a viewpoint and becoming, let's just be honest,
anti Semitic.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
This is a.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Day, this is a day to celebrate peace. Will it
be celebrated or will it just be glossed over? I
know how the media hates to do this. Have you
ever dialed into the small ways they like to chide Trump?
And by the way, I'm not a huge Trump supporter.

(12:34):
I'll take them. I'll take them, matter of fact. This
is how I take Donald Trump. A la carte, I
order from the Trump menu, A la carte, I will
take him. I say, yes, I'll have Trump when it
comes to lower taxes, to energy policy, to the peace
process in the Middle East, I'll have those. Hmmm, not

(12:54):
so much when he's putting tariffs on things, or not
so much when he's buying public corporations and having the
government own it.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
No, I'm sorry, I'll say no to those a la
carte policies. There you go.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
I think that describes my feeling with Donald Trump. I
take him oli karte. I'm glad he's there. I'm thrilled
he's there. I like tuning into the little media digs,
you know how they have to report on what he
says on quote social media, Donald Trump today said on

(13:35):
social media. Whenever they say social media, what they mean
is his own social media site.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Truth Social.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
But they cannot say those words because they feel like
they're giving him a free promotion, and they simply cannot
will not do that, So they won't say today on
truth Social the president posted this he'll say today on
social media. I find that to be a a subtle
but important difference. How long will the success in gas

(14:09):
God will last? Will Trump get any support? I'm I
know he wants the Nobel Peace Prize, It's gonna have
to wait another year. Who who thinks Trump deserves the
Peace Prize?

Speaker 3 (14:28):
Well, there's a problem here.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
The Peace Prize usually goes to pacifists. It usually goes
to people who do not achieve peace through strength. I
don't think Reagan ever won the Peace Prize, and he
and he freed most of the world of communism, most
of the Western world of communism. This is this is incredible.

(14:57):
So don't expect don't expect Donald Trump to get a
peace prize?

Speaker 3 (15:03):
Does he deserve it? All?

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Right?

Speaker 3 (15:05):
Three? Or three seven, one, three, eight, two five five
seven to one three? Talk? How big of a success
is this? Last week?

Speaker 2 (15:15):
There were two wars raging in the world that had
an incredible impact on our lives.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
Why don't we just cut that in half?

Speaker 2 (15:28):
No peace was possible until all the hostages living hostages
were returned. Today those hostages were returned in Gaza. This
is more than just talk, This is real action. Does
Donald Trump deserve credit for that? Will the left give

(15:50):
him any credit for that? And will it help? Will
it help?

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Net?

Speaker 2 (15:58):
And Yahoo? By the way, Yahoo is in real trouble.
I don't know the whole stories. It's not my world,
but there are many allegations of self dealing in his administration.
Keep in mind, when someone wins a war, they often

(16:19):
lose their grip on power. This is in democracy. Think
of Winston Churchill. Think of the hero that is Winston Churchill.
And after World War Two he loses his reelection. Bid

(16:39):
he's no longer Prime Minister. He comes back later. Yes,
he would think the guy who won World War two,
the most heroic guy, would be beloved.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
No, he's not so. My suspicion is net.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yahoo will not will not stay in power that long.
All right, give me your thoughts on this one three
h three seven one three eight two five five seven
to one three talk. What a day, What a day
for the world. This is a great day for the world.

(17:14):
And three minutes ago, Trump calls for net Yahoo to
be pardoned. To be pardoned now, Trump says he wants
to focus on Russia. Next, he says Israel has all

(17:39):
it can has has won all it can by force
of arms. Something in the speech he did, but he
calls for net Yahoo to be pardoned. Speaking at Israel's
parliament today, he called on Israel's president to be pardoned.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
He is on trial.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
For charge of alleged corruption, which of course he denies.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
Should he be part that's up to them, not up
to us, all.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Right, three all three seven one three eight two five
five seven.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
One three talk.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
The big man is out on a vacation, spending some
time with the grandkids. Good for him, I mean bad
for the grandkids, but good for him. I'm John Kelder.
I keep it right here here on six point thirty K.

Speaker 5 (18:27):
Good morning, Michael, oh sorry, good morning John, and Baybeard
is EA favorite jew. I have prostate cancer and a
prosstate cancer colors glove, you guess her a great day.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
I didn't know that. I thought i'd been brown. But
that's just me.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
It's a hop at So today is no braw day now,
that's just a straight line for every joke you could imagine.
And as as sympathetic breast cancer awareness, guys, Dragon and
I are are not just going brawless. We are both
topless now and I think I think we're going to
spend the rest.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
Of the day this way. You're welcome, Yeah, and man,
we look good.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
So it's terrific how much this has done for breast
cancer awareness, how much, how incredible the fight is going
prostate cancer. No, it just doesn't have the same awareness.
I don't think I didn't know there was a color.
I thought it's blue. Thank you for letting me know that.

(19:41):
I'm John Caldera, in for in for Michael Brown. Remember
it is no broad day, so remind remind those you
love and go brawless.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
Shouldn't every day be no broad day?

Speaker 2 (19:55):
And then there's by the way, reading on this, then
there's this whole little debate amongst women are bras good
for your breasts one or two?

Speaker 3 (20:06):
You know what is it? Well, you will your boob
sag more when you have a bra, or after you
have a bra, or if you don't have a broth.

Speaker 4 (20:13):
I think that general consensus is at night, while sleeping
it actually is a bad thing. But during the day
that's debatable. Still, I don't know. I just know it's
so great being a guy. Oh my god, it.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Is just wonderful being Can you realize how lucky we
have a gentlemen.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
We don't have to worry about this. We don't have
to wear bras. We can peece standing up, We can
do basic math.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
We know if the tupperware is big or small enough
to fit the food you want to put in it.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
We have spatial acuity. We can drive, We can drive,
we can parallel park. We understand the rules of football.
It's that everything is better when you're a guy. Oh, yes,
you die two decades earlier.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
But you know, small price to pay, very small price
to pay for never having to wear pantyhose. Yeah, except
on you know, special occasions where you really want to.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
It's great being a guy. Now.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
I hear women say, oh no, being a woman is spectacular.
You get a dress up. You get the softer things
of life. You get to do this, you get no,
not not a chance, not a chance? Is it better being.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
Being a woman? In what world? Is it better? Is? Is?

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Is the beauty of menstrual cramps making it? Making it better?
The the beauty of childbirth? Have you ever seen that
horror show that is childbirth? Now, my god, it's wonderful
being a guy hauling around for nine months with some
parasitic form in you, draining your.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
Life form until you get birth to it. Does that
sound right? A good time? Don't? Oh? By away? Do
you know how that baby gets out? Oh? My god?
Who would want to be a woman? What is the
possible advantage? Oh? Wait a minute. You can make men

(22:19):
do anything they anything you want, all right, just.

Speaker 4 (22:23):
Show them the fact that you're not wearing a bra. Yeah,
and then yeah okay? And then, by the way, if
you're a woman and you want sex, all you have
to do is point to basically any.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
Guy and go you over there. Oh yeah, okay, great,
that's the unfair part.

Speaker 4 (22:44):
I wonder if women experienced the dating rejection that men do,
what it would be like, You know, if if only
us men could say no all right, back to back
to other good stuff. Oh oh, speaking of silly things,
let's let's go on to this.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Do you know what Ryan Air is? I think Ryanair
is the airline that is. It's Europe's version of Spirit,
I believe.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
Is it? Anyway?

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Ryan Air flights landed at Manchester Airport with six minutes.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
Of fuel left. Oh, this is good.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
An investigation underway after Ryanair, battling with high wind speeds
during a storm, landed last week at Manchester Airport with
just six minutes of fuel left in its tanks.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
Nice.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
After three failed attempts to touch down, the pilots of
Ryanair flight FR thirty four to eighteen issued a May
day emergency call and raced to Manchester, where the weather
was calmer.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
Spectacular.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
The Boeing seven thirty seven had just two hundred and
twenty kilograms of fuel, which no American knows what that means,
less than it's tanks when it finally landed. According to
a picture of what happens of what appears to be
a handwritten technical log, pilots who examined the picture said
this would be enough for five, maybe six minutes of flying.

(24:32):
These are the kind of these are the kind of
things you want to hear before you go on a
on a flight.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Excuse me, excuse me? Have can I just check? Can
I just check if you have enough fuel? I know
I should be a better flyer, but I'm curious if
it's true or not.

Speaker 4 (24:52):
But I did hear a rumor way back in the
day that when they fuel up the planes prior to
the flight, they really only give them enough fuel to
get to where they're going. It's not like they fill
up the tank to like when you're filling up your
gas your car at the gas station, you.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
Always fill it all the way to the top. But that
isn't absolutely true. It is true. Oh wow?

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Well, actually, from what I understand, and I could be wrong,
a pilot can help us with this.

Speaker 3 (25:19):
They take on enough fuel to.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Get you to the next airport after your target destination.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
So I have been.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
I was on a flight that went through Iceland. I
was Iceland Air. Never fly Iceland Air. By the way,
it's the frontier of Iceland. And halfway over the ocean,
they turn around and go all the way back to
Denver because they say they won't have enough fuel.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
And you think, how how how.

Speaker 4 (25:52):
Spend the extra couple bucks and top it off, guys.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Hop it off.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
What the heck? Flying is just the worst. There was
a time when people would dress up, put on their suits.
Women would wear a dress and have the white gloves,
and they would go onto an airplane which had a
seat that you could sit in, and it was a
classy thing.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
You'd get served prime rib. They guess they're prime rib.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
The stewardesses, because they were called stewardesses, were all cute
and helpful and smiling.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
It was. It was a wonderful thing.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
And now flying is absolutely just a bus in the sky.
It is an RTD bus in the sky.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
You feel like cattle. I feel like cattle, all right.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
I hate to admit this, as my daughter says, I'm
in an abusive relationship with Frontier Airlines. Now Frontier Airlines. God,
it's Frontier Airlines. I never want to front fly Frontier,
but then they then they give me a cheap flight,

(27:01):
and being the cheap bastard I am, I go, what
twenty four dollars to get down to Dallas? Yeah, okay,
I'll do that. And then you you, I don't know
if you have if you haven't flown Frontier at DIA.
They do everything they can to save money to make
the flight cheap okay, which means they are at the

(27:23):
farthest gates there are. Those gates are cheaper, the gate
fees are less. Matter of fact, you don't even go
through the nut. You go through the nice terminal and
then you go down the stairs into the basement and
then you walk out to all the Frontier gates. Oh wait,

(27:43):
but there's not even a jetway that goes out to
the plane because this thing is on ground level basically
just in a big tough shed, and you go outside
into the weather and go up the ramp and then
into the plane, you know, like you used to see
when the Beatles came came to America, and they come

(28:04):
off the plane, they go down the steps. That's that's
that's how you do it at Frontier. There are some benefits.
Benefit Number one, when they fly in, they don't have
to say, oh, and our gate crew isn't there, Although

(28:24):
there's still that. How many times have your has your
pilot said, well, we're really thrilled to get you in
twenty minutes early, our gate isn't open yet, so we're
just gonna.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
Have to wait here. Well, then you did not get
us in twenty minutes early.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
I don't know what measurement they use, but I measure
the time I get onto the plane to the time
I get off the plane, so I think they're a
little faster that. The other thing is with the ramps,
they can take people off the back of the plane too,

(28:59):
so it gets you out of them. That's the worst
part of the air flight I found is you're always
behind twenty three hundred people who are just having the
hardest time getting their luggage from the overhead to the floor, and.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
So they're just taking their own straight. Would you move
it and get off the plane? How many times have
you wanted to just open up that wing exit, let
the ramp inflate, and just get off the plane.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
Do you remember?

Speaker 2 (29:35):
A little while back was a United Airlines pilot who
was he was suspended because he was trapped in a
parking lot whatever the parking lot they got to get
to use as and the gate wouldn't come up, and
he got so angry he went back to his car
and took out an axe.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Now why he had nax?

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Who doesn't who doesn't have an axe in their car
goes gets an axe out of his trunk and he
starts whacking the gate until the until the gate falls
off the you know the little automated gate that flops
up and down, it falls off. He gets back in
his car and he drives off the little road rage

(30:21):
against the gate. However, he gets suspended for this suspended.
I want that guy to be my pilot. I want
him getting me to the gate. That's the guy I want.
He's willing to get out of the plane and push

(30:43):
the gate jetway over to get us out of there.
That's the guy I want. It's just wrong. How did
we get on this topic. Oh, that's right, Ryanair. Ryanair
runs out of runs.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
Out of all right, let's take a quick breather.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Three h three seven one three eight two five five
seven to one three talk. I'm John Caldrek. Keep it
right here in good morning. You're on six thirty K.

Speaker 6 (31:12):
How Hey, John, I'm sorry, but I totally disagree. Iceland
Air was very nice, very affordable. You must have been
smoking crack or something, because I had a great experience
on Iceland Air and I had a direct flight from
Denver to Iceland.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Pack here.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
I had a direct flight from Denver to Iceland on
Iceland Air, which had no reclining seats for such a
long long flight. It turned out to be those kind
of frontier plastic.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
Fixed seats.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Got off in time, got over the Atlantic Ocean, and
then was told now we're turning around and going back
to We're not gonna stop in New York or something
and refuel.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Saying yeah, we want to make sure that we have
had a fuel. They're like what and no. So we

Speaker 2 (32:19):
I just went home, and then the next day had
