Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, Dragon and Girl. Dad just wanted to let you
know that I was traveling down to San Antonio with
Girl doing a little vacation, and I was thinking, we
think we have it bad having to listen to John
all the time, but really it's missus Brown who has
it the worst because she's the one who probably has
to listen to his whining and complaining on a regular basis. Really,
(00:21):
I think that we should be thankful for having to
listen to John.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I don't know who is it.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Today, Oh, prepare for disappointment.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I'm back. Yeah, I got I've got a bone to pick?
Whatever hell that means? I mean, where did that phrase
come from? I got a bone to pick? As he
frantically tries to look it up and find out, what
does it mean? I've got a bone to pick? I've
got a bone to pick? What does it mean.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
A dog's intensely gnawing and growling at a bone?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yes, okay, well you know, I guess I do have
a bone to pick then, because I intensely want Yeah,
I still I still got it.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Uh huh, thanks for coming back.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Well, I wanted to spread the joy. So here's what.
So I go to the doctor on I after the program,
I call the doctor and say, I listen, it's something
bad's going on. I got to get in. So because
I see this concierge doctor, he gets me in. You know,
oh yeah we can. We can give you ten minutes
to figure out probably says like streptot or something. So
(01:34):
I go in and check everything and they're looking around
and they decided to give me a one of those
quick results whatever it's called for a strep throat and
it comes back negative. But then he says this, well
it's negative, but you know, let me look in that
throat again. Yeah, but you got those little white spots
like strep throat. So I can't forget. Maybe we should
(01:55):
do another test, but we'll send this one off to
a lamp. So they do some other kind of tests
for everything I don't know, tests for measles, tests for
venereal disease, tests for everything you want. Yeah, so they test,
they do that, and then I get a text message
on Tuesday afternoon. Yeah, because today three So Tuesday afternoon,
(02:17):
I get a text message that's from the lab that
says your results are in. Call your doctor. Well the
doctor will call me, So I wait and I wait
a couple, and finally they do call me, but I'm
asleep when they call because I still feel like crap.
She leaves a message, and I thought she said, you
(02:38):
have parental influenza with a slight staff infection. So I
quickly look up parental influenza What the hell is that?
And then I come up with a answer that parental
influenza must mean that it's a parent that catches in
(02:59):
the flu flew from a child, Like, well, I don't
have any children's I don't know what that means. So
then I go back and I listened to the text
to the voice mess No, it sounds more like para influenzal,
para influenza, para influenza. So I've got I had para
influenza with a strike slight staff infection. So then they
(03:21):
and she says, because that is treatable with antibiotics, because
it's not a viral thing, we're going to give you
a Z pack. So of course I know how z
PACs work, so I'm like, yeah, yes, yes, hurry up.
So I keep checking jacking, jack and jacking, Oh, it's ready.
So Tammer muns over and gets a I popped the
two and almost within an hour start feeling better. And
then yesterday I'm thinking, well, still hacking up a little,
(03:42):
you know, bringing ugly and mucus, and you know, still
blah blah blah. So I'm thinking yesterday, still not sounding
too well, so I think I was still stay gone.
And then I get the text mess. You know, Temper,
Temper actually cares unlike you, and Temper's like, yo, now
you can take Thursday off if you say, oh, you know,
I feel pretty good. I think I'll come in and
do it. Although I'll probably hack a little bit during
the show. But who cares. Nobody cares. I only care
(04:03):
about being Nobody listens anyway. Nobody listens anyway. So you know,
we'll draw. We'll draw the twelve back. But I get
I get a text and then I call my friend
and I say, so, what did they say? Because he goes,
are you really sick? Because he's thinking, he's thinking, are
you really sick? Or are you playing hooky?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Does somebody play hooky in the middle of the week.
If you're gonna play hooky, play it on like a
Friday or a Monday. You were here Monday, took Tuesday
and Wednesday off and you're here today, and presumably you'll
be here tomorrow unless something tragic happens.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
With would you say, with great lee in your voice,
unless something tragic happens. And so he proceeds to tell
me two things that apparently you joked about I had
a man.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Cold, very serious, and that you know.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
People who have man cold or just that are whiners
and that they can't take it. And then you actually
mocked my voice. Yes, you mocked my voice. You mocked
how badly I sound. And then this morning you tell
me I've had a chance to look at the text
message just because I just frankly, for the past two
(05:18):
days haven't given the rats ask. But you tell me
that somebody on the text line said that they heard
the Michael Brown minute that I so desperately tried to
record before I left Tuesday morning. Yeah it sounded like crap. Yeah,
I can't believe. Did you actually did you actually upload it?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Oh yeah, i'd do it aired for the past two days?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Did it really?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Oh my god, that's pretty bad. So well there's the proof.
So what's the deal with the man cold?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Did man colds actually hit men harder than women? I
can't I'm trying to find it. The exact quotes here
in the article, but it was a web Md article
really stating that, yes, colds hit men harder than women.
It's about the temperature regulation the testosterone. Our testosterone is higher,
(06:06):
and so when the testosterone actually raises our temperature higher
when when we get colds, so we feel worse. As
well as something about women and estrogen, that they get
less symptoms because of colds because of estrogen. It's a
(06:28):
real thing.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Man.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Men get hit harder from colds than women do.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I haven't been hit like that in a long time.
I was down for the count. I haven't slept so
much for two days although there, and of course the
doctor kept telling me you got to drink lots of fluids,
except every time I would try to swallow, it was
like somebody was taking a knife and jabbing me in
my throat. So it was really hard to, you know,
take any fluids. So it was it was miserable. But
(06:57):
you know, I would say it was nice to be gone,
but it wasn't. It had been nice to beyond if
I had been the undisclosed location. It had been nice
to be gone. If I'd just been out gallivant and
around gufnav. But no, I was just I was clammy,
I was cold, I was shivering, I was hot, I
was everything. It was miserable, absolutely miserable. But nobody want
to hear about that, right, nobody wants to hear about it.
(07:20):
Gotta get the fluds going. One of my pet peeves,
many of my numerous pet peeves, besides girl Dad, one
of my prints. You know, here's the sad part. He's
in Alaska and he goes all the way to San Antonio.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
He's traveling somewhere. Who cares, Yeah, but surely they flew.
But even flying flying anywhere from Anchorage is like a
forever flight. It's just because there are no I don't
think there any direct flights except maybe the Seattle, maybe
the San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Then you have to go somewhere else and it's just
you know, and then he drags this poor little girl
along thing, drags are along. Of course, I wouldn't even
a loan in Alaska, because I.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Mean, you have Mom's mom. Girl mom would be fine.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I'm sure girl Mom would be much better kind of correct,
you know, it's how to keep her back on the
right path as opposed to the path that girl Dad's
taking her down.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Yeah, I do find it a little funny. We've never
heard from girl Mom. We've heard girl we've heard girl Dad,
so supposedly there is Girl Mom.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Girl Mom's probably just smarter than the two of them
put together. She wants nothing to do with this program,
wants no doesn't want anybody to know that there's any
relationship there whatsoever. You know, just you know, in their
own little home, it's just the three of them and
that's all, you know. It's kind of like people around
here who want us to know about the private lives
(08:53):
of everybody else, and we keep trying to explain that
if somebody wants to know about their private life, they'll
come and tell them. I don't need a third person
to come and tell me about their private life. I
don't know. It's been at least a year ago. I
didn't challenge it, but I get a ticket from that
(09:15):
Colorado Transportation whatever it is ct CTOI cot I, whatever
it is, that stupid crap that's enforcing express lane laws,
which I've done some deep dives into it, but I
haven't saved any of my research to try to figure
out how they get by with doing what they do,
(09:38):
and I understand their rationale. I still think it's blatantly unconstitutional.
But about a I don't know, a year or so ago,
I get a ticket in the mail. I don't expect one.
I adhere to the rules, I use the express lanes properly,
I kind of know when to exit the enter blah
(10:01):
blah blah. But I get a ticket and it shows
the beamer squarely inside of the double white lines. Now
I couldn't tell exactly where it was. It was somewhere
on four seventy, so I'm squarely within the white lines.
So I'm thinking, Okay, maybe at Quebec, I got into
the express lanes because I was going to eventually get
(10:24):
onto eastbound four seventy because I was going over to
the Smoky Hill area to go see my son or something.
But I think about contesting it, and then I'm like,
everybody tells me that it's a waste of time, they
won't do anything, So I don't do it. But what
(10:44):
I had planned to do was contest it and then
ask for the video. Show me the video, show me
the different camera shots that show me where I entered
into the express lanes, and then show me the camera
shot where it shows me into, you know, exiting the
wrest lanes. Prove to me, because I'm the defendant here.
(11:06):
So in most places in our system, other than the
internal Revenue Service, which I now equate this outfit, I
now equate the Colorado Department Transportation. Well, actually I equate
the entire state of Colorado to the internal revenue service,
where you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent, which
is what they do in communist countries. Yeah, we charge
(11:28):
you with whatever you want to charge you with. Now
you prove your innocence, because we've already decided you're guilty.
Doesn't make any difference what you say. We're going to
find you guilty anyway. So during my downtime, I'm dead
scrolling through Facebook because when you feel like sh you
know what, there's nothing better to do than scroll through Facebook,
(11:49):
because everybody tries to show you how wonderful their life
is or how crappy their life is, and then you realize, well,
your life's not so bad after all. Well of all
things that I don't know why, but Steve Steger, who
is a reporter over at nine News, now I haven't
kept up with Steve lately. I don't know what Steve's doing.
(12:10):
Apparently he's kind of their consumer advocate. He kind of
does stories apparently about things that he stories he's told
about that he thinks are wrong. So aka Tom Martino
or AKA whomever, he goes out and investigates things that
(12:31):
he thinks is wrong. The caption on this is Heather
Elliott exited the toll lane because the signs that it
was closed ahead. She got a ticket. The toll authority
wouldn't approved her dispute at first. At first, this apparently
(12:53):
happened on the southbound lanes on the north section of
I twenty five, you know, north of downtown. Those of
you who travel those lanes know that they have the
exes and the greens, the green okay, and the red
axes to tell you that you know these lanes are
(13:14):
closed or these lanes are open. Well, Heather apparently got
onto one of the express lanes because it said express
lane open. She's traveling down the express lane. Suddenly the
red exes appear, and now she's in a dither. She
doesn't know what to do. Now. If you know the
traveling southbound that if you stay when it's closed, or
(13:36):
somehow you get into the lane and it's closed, you
know you're gonna start running into barricades and you're gonna
be trapped, or you're gonna cause an accident, or you're
gonna run into oncoming traffic. So when it says X,
that means to get out of the lane right. Well,
before she got into the lane, it was okay, but
(13:56):
once she got into the lane, then it says, ex no,
you can't be there. Steve Steger says this.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Stop fighting if you think something's unfair.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
A woman called Steve on.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Your Side Off she got one.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Of those toll gaving tickets.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
The seventy five dollars ticket for crossing over the double
white lines. This time it was on I twenty five southbound.
She says, it was the early morning rush and.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
All the signs, you know, the big black boxes above
the lane at a X in that and she wasn't
sure what she was going to come upon, so she
decided to get over at the safest possible playoffs, So
she crosses over those double white lines and then.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
She gets a toll ticket. She tries to dispute the ticket.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
She tells them, hey, the lane was closed that dispute
was denied, so she requested a hearing.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
In the meantime, she got in touch with us. She
requested a hearing. Of course, the hearing was denied, but
I want you to think about something. Yeah, it was
it was originally denied, but she probably who I don't
know who Heather Elliott is, I don't know her from Adam,
(15:04):
but she probably knew it was a fool's errand to
appeal it. But nonetheless she felt like she was on
the right. But then she decides to go to Steve Seger.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Well, we looked at the data for tickets in that
section of I twenty five, it realized that on that
day there were four times as many tickets as there
usually are for that portion of row. As the states
preparing for her hearing, they realized, wait a minute, that
lane had been closed overnight, that an employee had flicked
the switch on the sign to turn it on to
(15:35):
say the lane was closed, But that employee left before
the crash was cleared, and somebody forgot to turn the
sign off.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
So it turns out.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
A lot of people thought that lane.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Was going to be closed when it really wasn't.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
In the end, because of Heather not giving up.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Forty eight toll tickets are going to be dismissed, and
anybody who's paid a ticket is going to get their
money back from Cedar.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Here's the reason.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Now you think that's a good You think that's a
good story, don't you. Here's why this is an awful story.
But for someone who has the time, the energy, and
the resources to go do the investigation, Stee Dodd does
not give her rats ass whether they were right or wrong.
It was only until it was brought to their attention
(16:21):
by nine News. Can't believe it, you know, I've actually
said nice things about nine News for like, I don't
know if this is like the third time in a row.
Maybe I really am sick. Maybe I shouldn't be here
this morning. Oh my gosh, there must be something wrong.
Only until nine News goes out and does an investigation
(16:42):
and finds out something which she wouldn't have the means,
the resources, she wouldn't have the wherewithal, she wouldn't have
the first idea how to start finding this stuff out.
Whereas Steve Stager, this is all that he does, this
is the only thing that he does. But for him,
what forty four people got tickets that day, and they
(17:02):
showed a little video. They show there's a little spike
in the numbers. You know, the tickets are just kind
of running along and all of a sudden, there's a
giant spike. You think that they would take the initiative
even saying why all of a sudden, now like every
day when they get their reports, why all of a sudden,
we have a huge spike at this one location. You
think they would be at the least bit curious. No,
(17:23):
they're not curious at all. One. It's a private enterprise.
It's not actually c DOT. It's some public private partnership.
They don't give a rats ass. They're just there to
generate revenue. They're there just to collect the tolls. They're
there just to have a kangaroo court to give you
the feeling that, oh, you want to appeal your ticket. Okay,
well you can have a hearing. Oh, hearing hearing approved.
(17:48):
Here have your hearing. Okay, you're found guilty, Move along,
pay your fine. Oh, by the way, here's some extra
charges for holding a hearing too. I despise these people.
I despise them. I despise this whole thing about everything
is just an automatic enforcement everything. And by the way,
(18:08):
these are private citizens. These are not judges. These are
not people appointed by the you know, the governor with
the approval of the legislature. These are private citizens working
for a private entity put together by a public department,
that are going to decide your innocence. The other thing
that pisses me off about it is you get one,
(18:32):
it doesn't make any difference whether it's one year or
five years later, you get another one, it's gonna be double.
It's gonna be double. We live in a society where
the truth doesn't matter, where there is no due process,
and where they just you know, just collect revenue. All
they want to do is just collect revenue. Yeah, coming
(18:53):
up next, the governor, our governor comes out of the clock, Gimar,
Micha or Michael.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
I needed to tell Dragon a little bit because the
morning you didn't show up for work or did show
up for work and then left, Dragon plays sweet Leaf
on the bumper music and then what happens.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Pozzy dies.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
So obviously, as I said the other day, we need
you to stay at home so we don't have a pandemic.
Because now everybody's got your pandemic. Who's next Keith Ring.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
If I had that kind of power, if I would
play music and that person dies. Michael, you got any songs?
Did you create any songs when you were a kid?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
No, I did not. I did not play the recorder.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I'm sure there's there there might be something out there.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Let me read the text message. Then you tell me
what your dad said. Gooba number seventy one oh five rights, Michael.
To be honest, anybody, anybody that has designed a highway
or a freeway in the Denver metro area needs to
be deported to that Al Salador in prison. Look at
the on rams and off rams on Sixth Avenue. The
bi directional express lane north of Denver sucks. If they
(20:09):
want to keep people from crossing the double white lines,
just put up some jersey barriers. It is it's everywhere
you turn. I mean sixth Avenue has got to be
Think about sixth Avenue and that whole so you're northbound.
They were going to straight that curve out because when
you get a freeway, which is a misnomer, but when
(20:30):
you get a freeway and you've got traffic going at
let's say, non rush hour traffic at sixty five miles
an hour. But then the amount of traffic begins to increase.
One person, two people, five people hit that curve and
start to hit their brakes. If you've if you've ever,
(20:53):
you know you should go on to some highway studies
and look at the diagrams and the and the modeling
that they show about how traffic's like a rubber band. Well,
in that curve around the Santa Fe Alameda sixth Avenue
curve on I twenty five, that is always going to
(21:13):
be backed up because of the curve because people hit
their brakes. They don't know how to space themselves in
front of other cars. It just pisses me off when
I'm trying to avoid hitting the brakes, so I keep
enough distance between myself and the car in front of me,
and what happens, some jerk butt some a hole cuts
(21:34):
in front of me, gets between me and the car
I was keeping the proper distance between and now I
have to hit my brakes. Well, that causes the person
behind me to hit their breaks, which causes the person
behind them to hit their brakes, and on and on
and on and now you've got to back up. Oh,
they were going to straighten that out and then now
they are fixing the Broadway on ramp, and they're actually
(21:57):
designing that pretty well so that you have to cross
under and then back around to get onto Idea, that's
a fairly well designed on ramp that they're doing it
Broadway in twenty five for southbound Broadway. But now they're
gonna build a stadium there and they're gonna have all
of that traffic in addition to when there are games
(22:21):
being played by whatever that team's called the Summit or something,
and so the lights will be on and the traffic
will be there. That's gonna cause a backup because people
are gonna tap their brakes to look at stuff. It's
gonna get worse and worse and worse and worse. Actually,
it's gonna get worser and worser and worser is what
it's going to happen. But you're right. The design in Colorado,
(22:41):
I think c DOT is a bunch of kindergarteners. There
are a bunch of kids with slide rules trying to
design stuff. But what your dad say one time?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Growing up, man, my dad had quite often said he
will support me in whatever career field I choose when
I grow up and whether it be the street sweeper speech.
He's like, I will support you as long as you
be the best at what you do and enjoy what
you do, with the exception of designing highways and parking lots.
You do either of those things, I will disown you.
(23:14):
This comes from a man who's quite literally rocket scientists
and designs satellites for a living. And oh, recently I
just found out holds a patent for nuclear reactors in space.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Oh really?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
How'd you find that?
Speaker 3 (23:25):
They're just casual conversational conversation. He's like, oh, I've got
to get that renewed. Like, oh wait, that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Wait a minute, I I love nuclear reactors one in space.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
That sounds like a weaponization of a nuclear reacty.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
He didn't go into any There's a lot of stuff
he can't talk about, but he used to because there
was casual contradition about some kind of nuclear reactors and
nuclear fuels. And he's like, oh, I gotta get that pattern.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
He's like, what patent? Nothing, that's hilarious. I apologize for
the coughing, But would you rather have me or Caldera?
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Would any of you rather have me? Or Caldera. That's
what I thought.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
It's because you can't hear them, doesn't mean they're screaming.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
I know they're all screaming as loud as they can. Caldera, Caldera, Caldera, Caldera, Caldera.
Jared Polos has come out of the closet. What Yep,
he's confessed to He's actually a troll. He's been trolling
us the whole time. So remember, they decided all these groups,
(24:39):
like the Colorado Historical Society, every veterans organization in the country,
I think even the city and County of Denver, every
organization you could possibly imagine. I think even Peter came
out against it. I think the Coalition for the Homeless People,
I think the homeless people themselves came out against him.
I think the criminal came out against it. I think
(25:03):
Trenda Ragua was opposed to it. Everybody was opposed to
his damn vanity project that bridge. So remember what was
a week or so ago he decided to have a pole.
Now it was a Google document. It looked like a
Google pole you might put up, But anyway, we encouraged
everybody to get on there and vote, and sure enough,
(25:24):
people voted more than listen, let me get the numbers here.
Over eighty seven thousand people participated in the poll in
just five days. Now. Some people confess there might have
been multiple votes, you know, because it was not a
scientific poll, and of course there were people like me.
(25:47):
I assumed that the majority of people in my audience,
something like probably ninety nine percent of people in my
audience opposed the pole. But of the more than eighty
seven thousand people, three thousand than three hundred and thirty
or three point eight percent voted yes to move forward
with the bridge, two thy forty three voted m Maybe
(26:11):
maybe not. Eighty two thousand people voted no, almost ninety
four percent. So I think it was pretty clear that nobody.
I don't think there was anybody in the local media.
I don't think the local cabal was in favor of it.
I don't think there was anybody in favor of it.
(26:34):
He got shot down big time.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
But has there ever been any kind of a vote
that's been that the cocinct that the ninety four percent
of people agreed on anything ever?
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah, probably not, other than just how great that they
are happy that I'm back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In announcing
the results. This is according to Westward, Oh Patty Calhoun
was against it. Patty Calhoun, I think led the charge,
probably as much as I did on Westward as I
(27:10):
did on Kay. How Patty wrote this in an article
from a couple of days ago. In announcing the results,
police reminds residents that Colorado's one hundred and fifties anniversary
coincides with the nation's two hundred and fiftieth birthday, and
that he signed legislation back in twenty twenty two to
establish the two fifty slash one fifty Commission charged with
(27:34):
creating a statewide celebration. Well, there's a huge difference between
creating a celebration and building something. Building an eye sore,
building a magnet for criminals, building a magnet for homeless,
building a magnet for drug dealing, building a magnet for
(27:56):
just ugliness. You just want to attract ugly, Yeah, build
that stupid bridge. But here's where the trolling comes in.
I was inspired. This is a quote from Polis. I
was inspired that over eighty thousand people participated in just
five days. This amazing level of engagement shows that Coloradin's
(28:21):
cared deeply about our upcoming birthday and the Capital Plaza.
So what did he have to say about that? He said, quote,
I'm going to do everything I can to make sure
(28:41):
this does not proceed. I said, I'll chain myself to
the Capitol Plaza if needed to prevent construction of the walkway.
There will not be a walkway so long as I
am governor. Yep. That's when he opened the closet dooring
came out in just a troll. I mean, that's the
very definition of a troll. Push and push and push
(29:05):
and push to get people something, and then when they
all say, oh, yeah, no we don't want that. Oh
well I don't want it either. You're right, no, I
don't want it. I mean, how blatant can you be? Now?
Still a good question? If not, what would you like
for Colorado to be? How would you like to see
the state celebrate this one hundred and fiftieth birthday? That's
what Patty Calhoun asked in the article. So that's what
(29:28):
I want to know from you. So send me a
text message. What would you like to see Colorado do
for their one hundred and fiftieth birthday? Pictures like a
fireworks celebration. That sounds kind of cool. Oh I got
a better idea. Do you want to know? Sure?
Speaker 3 (29:45):
I mean, you're here, you might as well. Your name's
on the show. You might as well give us your
opinion on something once in a while.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Cut the state income tax by half, cut state property
taxes by half, live within your budget. That sounds pretty nice,
wouldn't that be nice?
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
That's better than my fireworks show for sure.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah, I'll tell you what. If we'll do that, I'll
go raise fifty thousand dollars from the audience and we'll
put on a fifty grand fire I don't I don't.
I don't know whether that's a reasonable number or not.
That's just the number it popped in my head. If
it's one hundred thousand dollars, we'll raise one hundred thousand dollars.
We get oh, Wyoming, Yeah, we'll go to Wyoming. You
(30:23):
know what, we'll we'll just fly over to Beijing and
just buy our own you know, Chinese crap and just
fly it back and we'll just have it. You know,
we'll get it. I know some people at CVP. We'll
get it through customs. We'll just you know, we'll get
our own fireworks. But yeah, cut property taxes in the
state income tax and half. That'll be a way to
celebrate our birthday. And then just quit coming up with
(30:45):
stupid ideas like this, and let's select a slate of Republicans,
and let's select a slate of Republicans in the polit bureau,
and let's let's move on from there. I think that's
how we celebrate the one hundred and fiftieth birthday of Colorado.
But if you got a better idea three three one
zero three keyword Mike or Michael, tell me what your
(31:05):
idea is. Tell me right now during this break, I'll
share those next brownie or caldera. Huh hmm, what is
my grand children's favorite dessert? I think, yes, as at.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
All the dessert called a caldera. Oh maybe you're talking
about Canoley Connole. That makes much more sense.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
That wasn't quite sure that I was. Well, I know
that was a dig at me, but I wasn't quite
sure where the what the punchline was. I didn't quite
get it. Uh. Gonevery thirty six oh two, I went
to host a Colorado one fifty ball at the Gay
Lord and invite Donald Trump to roast Colorado. He could
talk about a Roar and Colorado could raise a ton
of money or sixty five eleven Mike, don't forget he
(31:55):
Polish wants to be a senator, so he's going to
do whatever he has to do or say to get
into that off. Yeah, I think so too. So one
of the things that I did a lot of dead
scrolling over the past couple of days, which what did
we do before dead scrolling? Oh? We read books. But
I was just too tired and felt too crappy to
read a book, so instead I dead scrolled and I
(32:17):
came across a post dragon. You can find this. It's
trump Girl. It's actually at Underscore you wo m y
you woone me or something. At trump Girl. She goes
to a school board meeting and she's upset because, well,
she shows up the school board meeting. She's wearing like
(32:41):
leopard type leotards of some sort, and she's dressed up
as a cat. I admire the woman for having the
cajones to go to a school board meeting like this,
and even more so to say what she said. Way
to go
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Up
Hey, Dragon and Girl. Dad just wanted to let you
know that I was traveling down to San Antonio with
Girl doing a little vacation, and I was thinking, we
think we have it bad having to listen to John
all the time, but really it's missus Brown who has
it the worst because she's the one who probably has
to listen to his whining and complaining on a regular basis. Really,
(00:21):
I think that we should be thankful for having to
listen to John.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I don't know who is it.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Today, Oh, prepare for disappointment.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I'm back. Yeah, I got I've got a bone to pick?
Whatever hell that means? I mean, where did that phrase
come from? I got a bone to pick? As he
frantically tries to look it up and find out, what
does it mean? I've got a bone to pick? I've
got a bone to pick? What does it mean.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
A dog's intensely gnawing and growling at a bone?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yes, okay, well you know, I guess I do have
a bone to pick then, because I intensely want Yeah,
I still I still got it.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Uh huh, thanks for coming back.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Well, I wanted to spread the joy. So here's what.
So I go to the doctor on I after the program,
I call the doctor and say, I listen, it's something
bad's going on. I got to get in. So because
I see this concierge doctor, he gets me in. You know,
oh yeah we can. We can give you ten minutes
to figure out probably says like streptot or something. So
(01:34):
I go in and check everything and they're looking around
and they decided to give me a one of those
quick results whatever it's called for a strep throat and
it comes back negative. But then he says this, well
it's negative, but you know, let me look in that
throat again. Yeah, but you got those little white spots
like strep throat. So I can't forget. Maybe we should
(01:55):
do another test, but we'll send this one off to
a lamp. So they do some other kind of tests
for everything I don't know, tests for measles, tests for
venereal disease, tests for everything you want. Yeah, so they test,
they do that, and then I get a text message
on Tuesday afternoon. Yeah, because today three So Tuesday afternoon,
(02:17):
I get a text message that's from the lab that
says your results are in. Call your doctor. Well the
doctor will call me, So I wait and I wait
a couple, and finally they do call me, but I'm
asleep when they call because I still feel like crap.
She leaves a message, and I thought she said, you
(02:38):
have parental influenza with a slight staff infection. So I
quickly look up parental influenza What the hell is that?
And then I come up with a answer that parental
influenza must mean that it's a parent that catches in
(02:59):
the flu flew from a child, Like, well, I don't
have any children's I don't know what that means. So
then I go back and I listened to the text
to the voice mess No, it sounds more like para influenzal,
para influenza, para influenza. So I've got I had para
influenza with a strike slight staff infection. So then they
(03:21):
and she says, because that is treatable with antibiotics, because
it's not a viral thing, we're going to give you
a Z pack. So of course I know how z
PACs work, so I'm like, yeah, yes, yes, hurry up.
So I keep checking jacking, jack and jacking, Oh, it's ready.
So Tammer muns over and gets a I popped the
two and almost within an hour start feeling better. And
then yesterday I'm thinking, well, still hacking up a little,
(03:42):
you know, bringing ugly and mucus, and you know, still
blah blah blah. So I'm thinking yesterday, still not sounding
too well, so I think I was still stay gone.
And then I get the text mess. You know, Temper,
Temper actually cares unlike you, and Temper's like, yo, now
you can take Thursday off if you say, oh, you know,
I feel pretty good. I think I'll come in and
do it. Although I'll probably hack a little bit during
the show. But who cares. Nobody cares. I only care
(04:03):
about being Nobody listens anyway. Nobody listens anyway. So you know,
we'll draw. We'll draw the twelve back. But I get
I get a text and then I call my friend
and I say, so, what did they say? Because he goes,
are you really sick? Because he's thinking, he's thinking, are
you really sick? Or are you playing hooky?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Does somebody play hooky in the middle of the week.
If you're gonna play hooky, play it on like a
Friday or a Monday. You were here Monday, took Tuesday
and Wednesday off and you're here today, and presumably you'll
be here tomorrow unless something tragic happens.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
With would you say, with great lee in your voice,
unless something tragic happens. And so he proceeds to tell
me two things that apparently you joked about I had
a man.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Cold, very serious, and that you know.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
People who have man cold or just that are whiners
and that they can't take it. And then you actually
mocked my voice. Yes, you mocked my voice. You mocked
how badly I sound. And then this morning you tell
me I've had a chance to look at the text
message just because I just frankly, for the past two
(05:18):
days haven't given the rats ask. But you tell me
that somebody on the text line said that they heard
the Michael Brown minute that I so desperately tried to
record before I left Tuesday morning. Yeah it sounded like crap. Yeah,
I can't believe. Did you actually did you actually upload it?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Oh yeah, i'd do it aired for the past two days?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Did it really?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Oh yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Oh my god, that's pretty bad. So well there's the proof.
So what's the deal with the man cold?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Did man colds actually hit men harder than women? I
can't I'm trying to find it. The exact quotes here
in the article, but it was a web Md article
really stating that, yes, colds hit men harder than women.
It's about the temperature regulation the testosterone. Our testosterone is higher,
(06:06):
and so when the testosterone actually raises our temperature higher
when when we get colds, so we feel worse. As
well as something about women and estrogen, that they get
less symptoms because of colds because of estrogen. It's a
(06:28):
real thing.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Man.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Men get hit harder from colds than women do.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I haven't been hit like that in a long time.
I was down for the count. I haven't slept so
much for two days although there, and of course the
doctor kept telling me you got to drink lots of fluids,
except every time I would try to swallow, it was
like somebody was taking a knife and jabbing me in
my throat. So it was really hard to, you know,
take any fluids. So it was it was miserable. But
(06:57):
you know, I would say it was nice to be gone,
but it wasn't. It had been nice to beyond if
I had been the undisclosed location. It had been nice
to be gone. If I'd just been out gallivant and
around gufnav. But no, I was just I was clammy,
I was cold, I was shivering, I was hot, I
was everything. It was miserable, absolutely miserable. But nobody want
to hear about that, right, nobody wants to hear about it.
(07:20):
Gotta get the fluds going. One of my pet peeves,
many of my numerous pet peeves, besides girl Dad, one
of my prints. You know, here's the sad part. He's
in Alaska and he goes all the way to San Antonio.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
He's traveling somewhere. Who cares, Yeah, but surely they flew.
But even flying flying anywhere from Anchorage is like a
forever flight. It's just because there are no I don't
think there any direct flights except maybe the Seattle, maybe
the San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Then you have to go somewhere else and it's just
you know, and then he drags this poor little girl
along thing, drags are along. Of course, I wouldn't even
a loan in Alaska, because I.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Mean, you have Mom's mom. Girl mom would be fine.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I'm sure girl Mom would be much better kind of correct,
you know, it's how to keep her back on the
right path as opposed to the path that girl Dad's
taking her down.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Yeah, I do find it a little funny. We've never
heard from girl Mom. We've heard girl we've heard girl Dad,
so supposedly there is Girl Mom.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Girl Mom's probably just smarter than the two of them
put together. She wants nothing to do with this program,
wants no doesn't want anybody to know that there's any
relationship there whatsoever. You know, just you know, in their
own little home, it's just the three of them and
that's all, you know. It's kind of like people around
here who want us to know about the private lives
(08:53):
of everybody else, and we keep trying to explain that
if somebody wants to know about their private life, they'll
come and tell them. I don't need a third person
to come and tell me about their private life. I
don't know. It's been at least a year ago. I
didn't challenge it, but I get a ticket from that
(09:15):
Colorado Transportation whatever it is ct CTOI cot I, whatever
it is, that stupid crap that's enforcing express lane laws,
which I've done some deep dives into it, but I
haven't saved any of my research to try to figure
out how they get by with doing what they do,
(09:38):
and I understand their rationale. I still think it's blatantly unconstitutional.
But about a I don't know, a year or so ago,
I get a ticket in the mail. I don't expect one.
I adhere to the rules, I use the express lanes properly,
I kind of know when to exit the enter blah
(10:01):
blah blah. But I get a ticket and it shows
the beamer squarely inside of the double white lines. Now
I couldn't tell exactly where it was. It was somewhere
on four seventy, so I'm squarely within the white lines.
So I'm thinking, Okay, maybe at Quebec, I got into
the express lanes because I was going to eventually get
(10:24):
onto eastbound four seventy because I was going over to
the Smoky Hill area to go see my son or something.
But I think about contesting it, and then I'm like,
everybody tells me that it's a waste of time, they
won't do anything, So I don't do it. But what
(10:44):
I had planned to do was contest it and then
ask for the video. Show me the video, show me
the different camera shots that show me where I entered
into the express lanes, and then show me the camera
shot where it shows me into, you know, exiting the
wrest lanes. Prove to me, because I'm the defendant here.
(11:06):
So in most places in our system, other than the
internal Revenue Service, which I now equate this outfit, I
now equate the Colorado Department Transportation. Well, actually I equate
the entire state of Colorado to the internal revenue service,
where you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent, which
is what they do in communist countries. Yeah, we charge
(11:28):
you with whatever you want to charge you with. Now
you prove your innocence, because we've already decided you're guilty.
Doesn't make any difference what you say. We're going to
find you guilty anyway. So during my downtime, I'm dead
scrolling through Facebook because when you feel like sh you
know what, there's nothing better to do than scroll through Facebook,
(11:49):
because everybody tries to show you how wonderful their life
is or how crappy their life is, and then you realize, well,
your life's not so bad after all. Well of all
things that I don't know why, but Steve Steger, who
is a reporter over at nine News, now I haven't
kept up with Steve lately. I don't know what Steve's doing.
(12:10):
Apparently he's kind of their consumer advocate. He kind of
does stories apparently about things that he stories he's told
about that he thinks are wrong. So aka Tom Martino
or AKA whomever, he goes out and investigates things that
(12:31):
he thinks is wrong. The caption on this is Heather
Elliott exited the toll lane because the signs that it
was closed ahead. She got a ticket. The toll authority
wouldn't approved her dispute at first. At first, this apparently
(12:53):
happened on the southbound lanes on the north section of
I twenty five, you know, north of downtown. Those of
you who travel those lanes know that they have the
exes and the greens, the green okay, and the red
axes to tell you that you know these lanes are
(13:14):
closed or these lanes are open. Well, Heather apparently got
onto one of the express lanes because it said express
lane open. She's traveling down the express lane. Suddenly the
red exes appear, and now she's in a dither. She
doesn't know what to do. Now. If you know the
traveling southbound that if you stay when it's closed, or
(13:36):
somehow you get into the lane and it's closed, you
know you're gonna start running into barricades and you're gonna
be trapped, or you're gonna cause an accident, or you're
gonna run into oncoming traffic. So when it says X,
that means to get out of the lane right. Well,
before she got into the lane, it was okay, but
(13:56):
once she got into the lane, then it says, ex no,
you can't be there. Steve Steger says this.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Stop fighting if you think something's unfair.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
A woman called Steve on.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Your Side Off she got one.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Of those toll gaving tickets.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
The seventy five dollars ticket for crossing over the double
white lines. This time it was on I twenty five southbound.
She says, it was the early morning rush and.
Speaker 6 (14:18):
All the signs, you know, the big black boxes above
the lane at a X in that and she wasn't
sure what she was going to come upon, so she
decided to get over at the safest possible playoffs, So
she crosses over those double white lines and then.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
She gets a toll ticket. She tries to dispute the ticket.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
She tells them, hey, the lane was closed that dispute
was denied, so she requested a hearing.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
In the meantime, she got in touch with us. She
requested a hearing. Of course, the hearing was denied, but
I want you to think about something. Yeah, it was
it was originally denied, but she probably who I don't
know who Heather Elliott is, I don't know her from Adam,
(15:04):
but she probably knew it was a fool's errand to
appeal it. But nonetheless she felt like she was on
the right. But then she decides to go to Steve Seger.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Well, we looked at the data for tickets in that
section of I twenty five, it realized that on that
day there were four times as many tickets as there
usually are for that portion of row. As the states
preparing for her hearing, they realized, wait a minute, that
lane had been closed overnight, that an employee had flicked
the switch on the sign to turn it on to
(15:35):
say the lane was closed, But that employee left before
the crash was cleared, and somebody forgot to turn the
sign off.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
So it turns out.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
A lot of people thought that lane.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Was going to be closed when it really wasn't.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
In the end, because of Heather not giving up.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Forty eight toll tickets are going to be dismissed, and
anybody who's paid a ticket is going to get their
money back from Cedar.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Here's the reason.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Now you think that's a good You think that's a
good story, don't you. Here's why this is an awful story.
But for someone who has the time, the energy, and
the resources to go do the investigation, Stee Dodd does
not give her rats ass whether they were right or wrong.
It was only until it was brought to their attention
(16:21):
by nine News. Can't believe it, you know, I've actually
said nice things about nine News for like, I don't
know if this is like the third time in a row.
Maybe I really am sick. Maybe I shouldn't be here
this morning. Oh my gosh, there must be something wrong.
Only until nine News goes out and does an investigation
(16:42):
and finds out something which she wouldn't have the means,
the resources, she wouldn't have the wherewithal, she wouldn't have
the first idea how to start finding this stuff out.
Whereas Steve Stager, this is all that he does, this
is the only thing that he does. But for him,
what forty four people got tickets that day, and they
(17:02):
showed a little video. They show there's a little spike
in the numbers. You know, the tickets are just kind
of running along and all of a sudden, there's a
giant spike. You think that they would take the initiative
even saying why all of a sudden, now like every
day when they get their reports, why all of a sudden,
we have a huge spike at this one location. You
think they would be at the least bit curious. No,
(17:23):
they're not curious at all. One. It's a private enterprise.
It's not actually c DOT. It's some public private partnership.
They don't give a rats ass. They're just there to
generate revenue. They're there just to collect the tolls. They're
there just to have a kangaroo court to give you
the feeling that, oh, you want to appeal your ticket. Okay,
well you can have a hearing. Oh, hearing hearing approved.
(17:48):
Here have your hearing. Okay, you're found guilty, Move along,
pay your fine. Oh, by the way, here's some extra
charges for holding a hearing too. I despise these people.
I despise them. I despise this whole thing about everything
is just an automatic enforcement everything. And by the way,
(18:08):
these are private citizens. These are not judges. These are
not people appointed by the you know, the governor with
the approval of the legislature. These are private citizens working
for a private entity put together by a public department,
that are going to decide your innocence. The other thing
that pisses me off about it is you get one,
(18:32):
it doesn't make any difference whether it's one year or
five years later, you get another one, it's gonna be double.
It's gonna be double. We live in a society where
the truth doesn't matter, where there is no due process,
and where they just you know, just collect revenue. All
they want to do is just collect revenue. Yeah, coming
(18:53):
up next, the governor, our governor comes out of the clock, Gimar,
Micha or Michael.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
I needed to tell Dragon a little bit because the
morning you didn't show up for work or did show
up for work and then left, Dragon plays sweet Leaf
on the bumper music and then what happens.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Pozzy dies.
Speaker 7 (19:14):
So obviously, as I said the other day, we need
you to stay at home so we don't have a pandemic.
Because now everybody's got your pandemic. Who's next Keith Ring.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
If I had that kind of power, if I would
play music and that person dies. Michael, you got any songs?
Did you create any songs when you were a kid?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
No, I did not. I did not play the recorder.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I'm sure there's there there might be something out there.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Let me read the text message. Then you tell me
what your dad said. Gooba number seventy one oh five rights, Michael.
To be honest, anybody, anybody that has designed a highway
or a freeway in the Denver metro area needs to
be deported to that Al Salador in prison. Look at
the on rams and off rams on Sixth Avenue. The
bi directional express lane north of Denver sucks. If they
(20:09):
want to keep people from crossing the double white lines,
just put up some jersey barriers. It is it's everywhere
you turn. I mean sixth Avenue has got to be
Think about sixth Avenue and that whole so you're northbound.
They were going to straight that curve out because when
you get a freeway, which is a misnomer, but when
(20:30):
you get a freeway and you've got traffic going at
let's say, non rush hour traffic at sixty five miles
an hour. But then the amount of traffic begins to increase.
One person, two people, five people hit that curve and
start to hit their brakes. If you've if you've ever,
(20:53):
you know you should go on to some highway studies
and look at the diagrams and the and the modeling
that they show about how traffic's like a rubber band. Well,
in that curve around the Santa Fe Alameda sixth Avenue
curve on I twenty five, that is always going to
(21:13):
be backed up because of the curve because people hit
their brakes. They don't know how to space themselves in
front of other cars. It just pisses me off when
I'm trying to avoid hitting the brakes, so I keep
enough distance between myself and the car in front of me,
and what happens, some jerk butt some a hole cuts
(21:34):
in front of me, gets between me and the car
I was keeping the proper distance between and now I
have to hit my brakes. Well, that causes the person
behind me to hit their breaks, which causes the person
behind them to hit their brakes, and on and on
and on and now you've got to back up. Oh,
they were going to straighten that out and then now
they are fixing the Broadway on ramp, and they're actually
(21:57):
designing that pretty well so that you have to cross
under and then back around to get onto Idea, that's
a fairly well designed on ramp that they're doing it
Broadway in twenty five for southbound Broadway. But now they're
gonna build a stadium there and they're gonna have all
of that traffic in addition to when there are games
(22:21):
being played by whatever that team's called the Summit or something,
and so the lights will be on and the traffic
will be there. That's gonna cause a backup because people
are gonna tap their brakes to look at stuff. It's
gonna get worse and worse and worse and worse. Actually,
it's gonna get worser and worser and worser is what
it's going to happen. But you're right. The design in Colorado,
(22:41):
I think c DOT is a bunch of kindergarteners. There
are a bunch of kids with slide rules trying to
design stuff. But what your dad say one time?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Growing up, man, my dad had quite often said he
will support me in whatever career field I choose when
I grow up and whether it be the street sweeper speech.
He's like, I will support you as long as you
be the best at what you do and enjoy what
you do, with the exception of designing highways and parking lots.
You do either of those things, I will disown you.
(23:14):
This comes from a man who's quite literally rocket scientists
and designs satellites for a living. And oh, recently I
just found out holds a patent for nuclear reactors in space.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Oh really?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
How'd you find that?
Speaker 3 (23:25):
They're just casual conversational conversation. He's like, oh, I've got
to get that renewed. Like, oh wait, that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Wait a minute, I I love nuclear reactors one in space.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
That sounds like a weaponization of a nuclear reacty.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
He didn't go into any There's a lot of stuff
he can't talk about, but he used to because there
was casual contradition about some kind of nuclear reactors and
nuclear fuels. And he's like, oh, I gotta get that pattern.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
He's like, what patent? Nothing, that's hilarious. I apologize for
the coughing, But would you rather have me or Caldera?
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Would any of you rather have me? Or Caldera. That's
what I thought.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
It's because you can't hear them, doesn't mean they're screaming.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
I know they're all screaming as loud as they can. Caldera, Caldera, Caldera, Caldera, Caldera.
Jared Polos has come out of the closet. What Yep,
he's confessed to He's actually a troll. He's been trolling
us the whole time. So remember, they decided all these groups,
(24:39):
like the Colorado Historical Society, every veterans organization in the country,
I think even the city and County of Denver, every
organization you could possibly imagine. I think even Peter came
out against it. I think the Coalition for the Homeless People,
I think the homeless people themselves came out against him.
I think the criminal came out against it. I think
(25:03):
Trenda Ragua was opposed to it. Everybody was opposed to
his damn vanity project that bridge. So remember what was
a week or so ago he decided to have a pole.
Now it was a Google document. It looked like a
Google pole you might put up, But anyway, we encouraged
everybody to get on there and vote, and sure enough,
(25:24):
people voted more than listen, let me get the numbers here.
Over eighty seven thousand people participated in the poll in
just five days. Now. Some people confess there might have
been multiple votes, you know, because it was not a
scientific poll, and of course there were people like me.
(25:47):
I assumed that the majority of people in my audience,
something like probably ninety nine percent of people in my
audience opposed the pole. But of the more than eighty
seven thousand people, three thousand than three hundred and thirty
or three point eight percent voted yes to move forward
with the bridge, two thy forty three voted m Maybe
(26:11):
maybe not. Eighty two thousand people voted no, almost ninety
four percent. So I think it was pretty clear that nobody.
I don't think there was anybody in the local media.
I don't think the local cabal was in favor of it.
I don't think there was anybody in favor of it.
(26:34):
He got shot down big time.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
But has there ever been any kind of a vote
that's been that the cocinct that the ninety four percent
of people agreed on anything ever?
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah, probably not, other than just how great that they
are happy that I'm back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In announcing
the results. This is according to Westward, Oh Patty Calhoun
was against it. Patty Calhoun, I think led the charge,
probably as much as I did on Westward as I
(27:10):
did on Kay. How Patty wrote this in an article
from a couple of days ago. In announcing the results,
police reminds residents that Colorado's one hundred and fifties anniversary
coincides with the nation's two hundred and fiftieth birthday, and
that he signed legislation back in twenty twenty two to
establish the two fifty slash one fifty Commission charged with
(27:34):
creating a statewide celebration. Well, there's a huge difference between
creating a celebration and building something. Building an eye sore,
building a magnet for criminals, building a magnet for homeless,
building a magnet for drug dealing, building a magnet for
(27:56):
just ugliness. You just want to attract ugly, Yeah, build
that stupid bridge. But here's where the trolling comes in.
I was inspired. This is a quote from Polis. I
was inspired that over eighty thousand people participated in just
five days. This amazing level of engagement shows that Coloradin's
(28:21):
cared deeply about our upcoming birthday and the Capital Plaza.
So what did he have to say about that? He said, quote,
I'm going to do everything I can to make sure
(28:41):
this does not proceed. I said, I'll chain myself to
the Capitol Plaza if needed to prevent construction of the walkway.
There will not be a walkway so long as I
am governor. Yep. That's when he opened the closet dooring
came out in just a troll. I mean, that's the
very definition of a troll. Push and push and push
(29:05):
and push to get people something, and then when they
all say, oh, yeah, no we don't want that. Oh
well I don't want it either. You're right, no, I
don't want it. I mean, how blatant can you be? Now?
Still a good question? If not, what would you like
for Colorado to be? How would you like to see
the state celebrate this one hundred and fiftieth birthday? That's
what Patty Calhoun asked in the article. So that's what
(29:28):
I want to know from you. So send me a
text message. What would you like to see Colorado do
for their one hundred and fiftieth birthday? Pictures like a
fireworks celebration. That sounds kind of cool. Oh I got
a better idea. Do you want to know? Sure?
Speaker 3 (29:45):
I mean, you're here, you might as well. Your name's
on the show. You might as well give us your
opinion on something once in a while.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Cut the state income tax by half, cut state property
taxes by half, live within your budget. That sounds pretty nice,
wouldn't that be nice?
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (30:00):
That's better than my fireworks show for sure.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah, I'll tell you what. If we'll do that, I'll
go raise fifty thousand dollars from the audience and we'll
put on a fifty grand fire I don't I don't.
I don't know whether that's a reasonable number or not.
That's just the number it popped in my head. If
it's one hundred thousand dollars, we'll raise one hundred thousand dollars.
We get oh, Wyoming, Yeah, we'll go to Wyoming. You
(30:23):
know what, we'll we'll just fly over to Beijing and
just buy our own you know, Chinese crap and just
fly it back and we'll just have it. You know,
we'll get it. I know some people at CVP. We'll
get it through customs. We'll just you know, we'll get
our own fireworks. But yeah, cut property taxes in the
state income tax and half. That'll be a way to
celebrate our birthday. And then just quit coming up with
(30:45):
stupid ideas like this, and let's select a slate of Republicans,
and let's select a slate of Republicans in the polit bureau,
and let's let's move on from there. I think that's
how we celebrate the one hundred and fiftieth birthday of Colorado.
But if you got a better idea three three one
zero three keyword Mike or Michael, tell me what your
(31:05):
idea is. Tell me right now during this break, I'll
share those next brownie or caldera. Huh hmm, what is
my grand children's favorite dessert? I think, yes, as at.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
All the dessert called a caldera. Oh maybe you're talking
about Canoley Connole. That makes much more sense.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
That wasn't quite sure that I was. Well, I know
that was a dig at me, but I wasn't quite
sure where the what the punchline was. I didn't quite
get it. Uh. Gonevery thirty six oh two, I went
to host a Colorado one fifty ball at the Gay
Lord and invite Donald Trump to roast Colorado. He could
talk about a Roar and Colorado could raise a ton
of money or sixty five eleven Mike, don't forget he
(31:55):
Polish wants to be a senator, so he's going to
do whatever he has to do or say to get
into that off. Yeah, I think so too. So one
of the things that I did a lot of dead
scrolling over the past couple of days, which what did
we do before dead scrolling? Oh? We read books. But
I was just too tired and felt too crappy to
read a book, so instead I dead scrolled and I
(32:17):
came across a post dragon. You can find this. It's
trump Girl. It's actually at Underscore you wo m y
you woone me or something. At trump Girl. She goes
to a school board meeting and she's upset because, well,
she shows up the school board meeting. She's wearing like
(32:41):
leopard type leotards of some sort, and she's dressed up
as a cat. I admire the woman for having the
cajones to go to a school board meeting like this,
and even more so to say what she said. Way
to go
