9-3-24 - 9am - Jon Caldara Filling In - Meat and English Words

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Don't forget to click on the button, the button sand
to talk back. But it's almost like it's almost like
with important mountainen thought n bright n. It's almost like

(00:25):
I want to write the word now with extra tease,
just to get young people to say important mountain bright
tin thortin. They're tea's there. Why have them there if
you don't use them?

Speaker 2 (00:45):
I feel strong about, strongly about this because if we
let this go, yeah, then our grandkids will be saying mountain,
let's go to the mountains, yeah, just using.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Unneeded letters as just psycho. Yeah. Well, I'll go a
little farther. I want to change pH to F, just
get rid of the whole pH thing. And even though
my last name held Era starts with a C, I
think we should get rid of the letter C. Either

(01:18):
use an S or use a K. Is there any
any reason to have the letter C? What? What good
does the letter C do? You could replace it with
an S or or a K to denote if it's
a if it's a hard K or soft S.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
I'm sure other people did this, but I remember it
from Gallagher the best.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
What is it gnome comb to bomb, Yeah, you know,
it's just the worst language. English is just a crazy language.
And let me also, I don't want to get rid
of it, but we need to rename W. Why in
the world does every letter have one syllable except one

(02:06):
letter that has three. There's a U and then there's
a double U. What can we call it A or something?
England don't they call z z. It sounds better than
z z he z. So W needs to be renamed.

(02:29):
There's could we can make some simple things. Let's just
start spelling things phonetically. Why are there you know, so
many ways to spell the word two. Each one has
a different meaning depending on its spelling, but it sounds
the same.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Oh, you can do the same with your own first name, John,
j O h N or j O N.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
I have no H in John, I am H three.
There's no reason to have that H there is there?
You see? Because I'm all about efficiency, logic and consistency.
Dragon who isn't really a dragon? True dragon? It's important,

(03:13):
all right? Pet Peeves, Pet Peeves aside, Hey, welcome, I'm
John Calderic. Glad to have you with me. Do you
know that if you live in Denver it looks like
you're going to be voting on whether or not a
private business goes out of business. This is it's insane,
how how people feel entitled to destroy other people's lives.

(03:40):
So Denver residents will will decide whether or not to
destroy a slaughter house in Denver one hundred and sixty jobs,
about two hundred million dollars in economic benefits. A group

(04:04):
of activists wants to shut it down, arguing that this slaughterhouse,
there's a lamb slaughterhouse in Denver, is quote one of
the worst in Denver. The group also says meat alternatives
are sufficient to replace the meat coming out of the plant.

(04:25):
If you don't want to eat the meat, don't eat it.
This is the way I felt about gay marriage at
people I know, is like, gay marriage is wrong, it's wrong,
it's terrible, it's wrong. Well, if you don't like gay marriage,
don't marry a dude. Fine. So there is this citizens'

(04:54):
initiative to shut down slaughterhouses, and it's it's the obnoxiousness
of folks like our first gentleman, Marlon Reese, who's an
animal rights extremist, and people who want to stop you

(05:15):
from having the choice. So they're gonna put one hundred
and sixty people mostly people out of color, out of work,
jack up the prices of food, and again stigmatize. Now
people like to eat meat. This is how stupid people

(05:36):
might be. People go to kingsupers buy meat, but somehow
want to put the people who put the meat in
those packages out of business. I find that insane. So
Superior Farms, which is in Globesville and the Swansea neighborhood
as a long, is a slaughterhouse. It's a meat processing place.

(06:02):
They supply lamb to major grocery store chains. They say
that the animals brought to the plant are raised by
family farms in the US. Isabelle Brastita, the operations manager
who is at Superior Forest for more than twenty years,
said the company offers good benefits and treats its employees. Well,

(06:27):
there's a reason we like to work here. It's why
we stay so long. She says. We treat each other
as family. When different companies go to the harvest floor,
they're surprised to see employees smiling, helping each other and
working like any other job. It's totally different from what
people say. She says. She is living proof that she

(06:57):
is a Hispanic single mom who worked learning English on
the way up. Hmm, that's why they promote people from within.
All right, here's the other side. I'm reading from the
Denver gazet who did a great article on this, and
pushing for the company's closure are not its customers, are
not business practices. I mean, think about this. If your

(07:20):
business goes under, your business goes under. That is how
the marketplace works. People are free to do business with
you or not. Customers can buy your product or not.
But when some group of activists say you shouldn't even
be able to have that relationship, that is the opposite

(07:41):
of freedom. And pushing for the company's closure pro animal Future.
The group behind the proposed band cited a National Institute
of Occupational Safety and Health study. Are you ready showing
slaughterhouse workers have seven times MS the rate of repetitive

(08:02):
strain injuries and seventy six percent suffered from abnormal nerve
condition in at least one hand. Oh, so they're doing
this because because they like the workers. They're doing this
for the there, let me see if I got this right.
They're putting their workers out of a job because they

(08:25):
care about the workers. You see, ever since we passed
that that silly Little Thirteenth Amendment ending slavery and indebted servitude.
Nobody needs, nobody needs to work at a job they
don't like. So what what is it? What is it

(08:56):
that they want? They want you to stop eating meat.
They want to stop you having the possibility of eating meat.
This is intolerance. You know how the left loves to
talk about diversity and tolerance and all the rest. They

(09:23):
don't believe it at all. They hate tolerance. Now, it's fine.
If the vegans and the anti anti meat folks want
to convince me, go ahead, convince me. Convince me not
to eat meat. Convince me it's bad for my own health.
Convince me it's immral to kill animals. Convince me, or

(09:50):
you could just coerce me and take away my choice.
You can destroy this business which brings in tax revenue.
You can destroy this business which hires one hundred and
sixty people, mostly people of color. HM. But they on

(10:13):
the website the group who's pushing this claimed that the
company that runs Denver Slaughterhouse was found to have violated
or multiple Humane Slaughter Act violations. Well, then take it
up with the authorities and then deal with it. Don't

(10:41):
put everybody out a job if you don't think they're
passing a health code by all means enforce the health code.
Reading from the gazette, the occupational safety studies cited by
the group was about a poultry plant in Maryland, not
a lamb slaughterhouse, while the Humane Slaughter Act violations were

(11:03):
levied against the company site in Dixon, California, not their
plant in Denver. Researchers from Colorado State University estimated that
on the low end, nearly seven hundred jobs would be
lost about two hundred and fifteen million dollars in economic

(11:24):
benefits would disappear. On the high end, same study said
that as many as three thousand jobs could be affected
and the economic loss could be as much as eight
hundred and sixty one million. Wow. Wow, will you vote

(11:50):
for this? It's and if you find this wrong, because
it's to customers and workers to decide. If workers don't
like the working situation, they don't have to work there. Yeah,

(12:12):
they have to work with every employment regulation, which I'm
sure they do. If they're not by all means, take
them up, take them up to court on that. Wow.
So the neighborhoods fall into the Denver's so called inverted

(12:36):
l Globesville and am I saying this right? Hilarious? Swansea
neighborhoods located west of I twenty five north of IS seventy.
They're home to minority communities and exists in the industrial
heart of Denver. To the north stands the Cherokee Generation Station,

(12:59):
formerly a cold burning plant, the Suncore oil refinery. The
neighborhoods also are home to a dog food factory. I'm
assuming that's Purina. When pressed about the jobs that would
disappear in the historically low income neighborhood, Pro Animal Future
insists the city will prioritize them and help them work.

(13:21):
Oh wait a second, So you're taking them out of
a job and you're then requiring the city to help
find them another job. So one, we're going to lose
those jobs, We're going to lose that tax base, we're
going to lose all that economic income, and we're going
to have a higher strain on the city. Because the

(13:42):
people who want to do this say the city will
prioritize them, they're not the city. Pro Animal Future, the
organization that put this on the ballot, is not the city.
So how can they say the city will prioritize them.
Good God, the city is prioritizing migrants. They're not even prioritizing,

(14:06):
prioritizing fighting crime. Do you think these one hundred and
sixty mostly low income people of color, do you think
that's gonna help them. There's a budget set aside for
transitioning folks to greener jobs, which is also provide better

(14:28):
job security. Said the guy who's the group's spokesman. I
don't think they're going to be totally without weighted if
able to file for unemployment. Think of the callousness of that.
This guy, who loves animals more than people, doesn't mind
destroying one hundred and sixty employees' lives and callously say

(14:52):
I don't think they're going to be without wages. All
they have to do is file for unemployment, put them
on the dole. So, in other words, the taxpayers need
to subsidize your anti meat agenda. Consumers will have to
pay more for meat, which is of course their goal,

(15:15):
because you can't convince people to stop eating meat, so
you're going to coerce them and destroy people's lives. The
group says it's also working closely with a group that
offers support to help workers transition out of the animal
agriculture industry into careers that are more empowering, sustainable and prosperous. Ah. Yeah,

(15:44):
prosperous and sustainable only because government forces this new green mandate.
Reading from the gazette, the Brave New Life Project is
quote eager to take on new people and quote help
them find their ways to new job, said the spokesman.

(16:08):
And also I love this. He said that the people
who are going to lose their job at the slaughterhouse,
we won't have a difficult time finding new jobs. Quote.
We're in an economy where we need workers. So everyone
is hiring right now. She said, really, and that nice.

(16:29):
Everyone is hiring right now, so hopefully help to fill
some of those roles for jobs we are currently trying
to fill in the city. This is this is so insulting.
It's so remarkably insulting that, you know what we ought

(16:53):
to do the opposite. Are there any greenhouses growing vegetables
in the city. We should outlaw them, we should ban them.
We should ban them because they're they're unhealthy for you. Wow, whatever,
just because we want them. Let's ban greenhouses. Let's ban

(17:19):
anything that grows food that isn't meat or fish. Let's
just do that. So in Denver we're going to stop
producing broccoli. Who wouldn't vote for that? Who wouldn't vote
for getting rid of broccoli? Let's put on the counterproposal

(17:42):
on the ballot and broccoli sales three three seven one
three eight two five five seven one three talk? Will
you be voting for this or will you be fighting
it with me? Keep it here, You're on six thirty
k happy. Having unused letters is not an important It
might be speaking French where a lot of times the

(18:04):
tea is silent to stiffy. Do we want to use
the French for an example on anything we want to
do here in America? Food? Maybe? Listen? The only French
that I want in this country French fries and French toast.

(18:24):
There you go, Oh, we need that is all? And
maybe the occasional najatua. That's it. We need nothing else
from France. What else do we get from France? Anything? Really?
I mean? Now, the English have exported around the globe.

(18:45):
Natural law, property rights, a language that is spoken around
the globe. If you had to have one language and
you were going to travel the world, what language would
you want it to be English. Why because those awful colonizers,

(19:11):
the English, who had colonies everywhere, exported their language. You
can go to India and speak English. You can go
to South Africa and speak English. You can go to
Australia and New Zealand and speak English. You can go
to the United States, you can go to Canada and

(19:32):
speak English. You can travel throughout most of Europe speaking English.
It's friggin awesome. Where do you speak French? Well, they
were also colonizers, so you can go up to Quebec.

(19:55):
You can go to Quebec and you can speak French.
Used to be down in New Orleans there was some
French speaking quarters anyplace else? If so, I don't remember.
I know in the Olympics. Do they still do this.

(20:16):
I didn't watch any of the Olympics. I just didn't care.
Do they They would always say things in French and
English because those were the two international languages. Yeah, so, yeah,
you're right, you can't. You can't see. I love a
few things you cannot say in England because I knew

(20:45):
of a guy who was helping a woman during a
commercial shoot and the director said, yeah, yeah, there's a
box full of pants over there, just go ahead and
choose a pair of pants to wear for the commercial.
And the woman from England was I gassed. Excuse me, No,
there's just go get some pants. They're there there in

(21:07):
the in the box. Just you know, there's all sorts
of sizes, find one that fits. Excuse me. And a
buddy of mine who was working this commercial shoot was
just cracking up. And finally this this woman who was
just appalled, he finally went up and said, in America

(21:28):
we call trousers pants. You see in England pants are underwear. Yeah,
just go to that box and just find find a
pair of underwear that fits. What what? What what are

(21:50):
they call If they're not pants, trousers? They're trousers. Yeah,
they're trousers, these trousers. Thus dropping trow the elevator is
a lift. An English buddy of mine came here on
his first night in America. He's a smoker and he's
in this New York bar and he just kept saying, Oh,

(22:12):
I really need a fag. Does anybody have a fag? Yeah,
I'm looking for a fag. And he kept no, that's
a cigarette. A cigarette is a fag. In England, you
can't use that here, so but it goes the other way.
So you cannot wear a fanny pack in England because

(22:35):
fanny is, of course the word for women's genitals, you know,
the one that that Donald Trump said you can grab.
And in America you can say, oh, what a cute
little bugger and little baby, what a cute little bugger? No, no, no,

(22:58):
you can't say that because in England is the very
rude way of saying anal sex. It's like these English
don't know how to speak American at all. Realridiculous. Oh oh,
oh oh, I gotta tell you this one. So buddy

(23:20):
of mine from England, he and his family, he was
a kid. I'm just trying to think, want to get
this right. He was traveling road trip with his kids,
as must have been in the seventies or something, and

(23:42):
they were stuck in a motel and the little daughter
was drawing on pieces of paper and it was raining
and raining and raining, so he wanted to keep the
kid just drawing, but he so he went to the
desk and they had pencils, but they didn't have an eraser.

(24:07):
And so he said, yeah, yeah, I'm in room three
A with my daughter. Do you have a rubber we
could borrow. Now, we need some rubbers, because in England
an eraser is called a rubber. The connotation here was

(24:29):
completely different. So not only did he ask the lady
in the front desk for it, but he asked it
because he needed it for his daughter. The woman flipped out,

(24:53):
Oh god, that was funny. I didn't know if child
protective services come running in or not. Oh that's spectacular.
Oh we gotta Yeah, we should just invade England and
the whole UK is about the size of Colorado. You

(25:15):
can fit inside Colorado. Then we can fix these problems.
We can tell them what words to use and stop
all these problems. But they don't. So is Mountain just
their way of saying tomato? No? No, what did they say?
They say tomato, tomato aluminium. No, it's not a mobile phone,

(25:39):
it's a mobile it's a sweet freak.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
I really do not appreciate them calling cookies biscuits.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Oh oh, amen to that. I don't like it at all.
It's like a biscuit and bacon. Their bacon is not bacon.
They're bacon is ham, slice of ham. It's a bacon.

(26:09):
Bacon is a is a pig's stomach sliced and fried
to perfection. Yeah. When they I love this one. When
they have tea, Uh, somebody has to pour the tea,
and the phrases shall I be mother? Because mother pours

(26:30):
the tea? Shall I be mother? And that person grabs
the tea in and puts it into the different cups.
No American is gonna say shall I be mother? Well
unless the F word follows that. Yeah, yeah, Now the

(26:52):
the the version of shall I be mother in America
is who's your daddy? Completely different connotation. All right? Three
oh three seven one three eight two five five seven
one three talk? How do we get off on this? Oh?
We got off on it because of important and mounta

(27:13):
en button button? All that button? Are you three years old?
It's not a button? Now? If do we have to
spell it now with like three tea's in it? In
order for it to get across the point, we have
to put a couple of teas in brighton and mount ten. God.

(27:37):
I love being old and grumpy. You see, everything just
bothers me. And there's a right way to do it.
I'm gonna get older and older and more and more grumpy.
I love it, all right, there have we have we
beat this one to death? Or there's is there another English? English? Yeah?

(28:00):
There talks to mine at the moment. Yeah, well we'll
figure it out. Hate me for my appetite? What was that? Hi? Hi? Kelly?

Speaker 4 (28:13):
No, dragon hates me for my appetite because I don't
like bacon and I don't like chocolate.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
I don't hate her.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
I just can't trust anything she ever says about food
because she sits there and eats a stock of celery
and goes.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
This is delicious. Is the best thing I've ever had.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
It is good.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
See. Oh oh, it's freaky. That is freaky. That's just wrong.
It's just wrong. All right. Let me also tell you this,
Why is it wrong for me to like celbery and
not like bacon or not like bacon.

Speaker 4 (28:50):
I don't like bacon, and I don't like chalk, and
I don't like anything smoked, So I can't do barbecue
or any ribs or anything like that.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
I don't do it. Never dressed Kelly on anything food.
My daughter, my daughter, for instance, cannot eat chocolate. But
it's because she's deathly allergic to dairy. She's got an
excuse but to not want to eat chocolate. No, I
hate it. There's something seriously, did you have a lot

(29:19):
of childhood trauma? Yeah, well, you know I've.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
Dragon has claimed for the last two plus years right
now that I am something like disturbed.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
All right. So, I don't know if you guys are
so young, maybe you don't remember the original Willy Wonka movie. Yeah,
the kid dead, you're drowning the chocolate. Yeah, so I
remember as a kid that beginning, seeing the candy shop
owner is singing the candyman can and he's throwing can
in the air and it's raining down on these little kids,

(30:03):
and as a kid yourself, you're thinking, oh my god,
would that be heaven? Yeah? Best day ever. There's just
candy falling from the sky. On you watch this movie
with my daughter, who was about eight or nine at
the time, and she sees the scene. I was curious
what her reaction would be, and out of nowhere, she says,

(30:23):
and I quote, that wouldn't be very fun if you
were a diabetic. What how old was she She was
like eight or nine? What the hell thinks this way?
There's a candy falling out of the sky. I wouldn't
be fun if you were a diabetic she told me later,
because I thought it was the funniest thing. Apparently they

(30:45):
were doing the diabetic lessons in school that some kids
candy sugar. They're diabetics. What everybody? Everybody? All right, let
me give you my pet peeve, and then we got
to run to a break. So Kelly has her own.
Let's just call it what it is, as nicely as
possible perversions against chocolate. So here's what I'm going to

(31:10):
do when I become king. Have you ever had this experience?
You're at an event, you're at a conference, you're at
a picnic or whatever. Over across the way, there's a
table full of delicious looking, mouth watering chocolate chip cookies.
Oh and so you work your way over there, you know,
trying to get out of every small talk conversation all

(31:32):
where you're hotdres want for that chocolate chip cookie. And
you're finally talking to somebody you don't want, but you're
close enough that your arm reaches out there and you
grab that cookie, and while you're looking at the guy,
you put it in your mouth and it turns out
to be an oatmeal raisin cookie.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
Oatmeal raisin cookies are the reason I have trust issues
in life.

Speaker 1 (31:54):
Agreed. The first thing in the new Caldera and administration
will be that all oatmeal cookies. Now, I'm not going
to outlaw them the way that you know. These these
meat haters are our outlawing meat. No. No. If you
want to be perverse and have your alternative lifestyle and
enjoy an oatmeal raising cookie, that's fine, but they will

(32:18):
have to be dyed with Hunter Safety orange food color
so that it is clearly marked not a chocolate chip cookie.
Can I get an amen on this one? I love it. It's perfect,
and that I'm being tolerant. You can have you can
have your little perversion, you can like your oatmeal, but

(32:38):
there has to be a huge warning symbol that says
not chocolate chip. That's it, all right, let's go to
a break. Do we need to go to a break?
Three h three seven one three eight two five five.
I'm John Calderaic. Keep it here six point thirty k
how yeah, hey John?

Speaker 5 (32:55):
Interesting to bring up Superior Farms the slaughterhouse. I'm at
highly familiar with the facility and have been in the
facility multiple times in my line of work. I am
pretty impressed actually with that operation. It's very efficient. The
people seem to be happy, hardworking, You're right, mostly Spanish speaking,

(33:17):
and it would be a shame for them.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
To lose their jobs. Terrible. It wouldn't be terrible for
them to lose their jobs if the marketplace decides that
they're no longer needed. If people stopped eating meat and
their jobs went away, well that's how things change. Buggy

(33:41):
manufacturers went away because cars came, all right, I got that.
Or if there was a better slaughterhouse with a better
operation that could deliver it to us cheaper, I would
rather buy my meat or all my food products at
a competitive advantage. But that's not what's going to close
down Superior farms. It's going to be a bunch of

(34:04):
animal rights activists trying to pass a citizen's initiative targeting
one business, one business. If that doesn't upset your sensibilities
of what government is and what our system is, to

(34:26):
use the coercive power of government to take down not
an industry, but to take down a particular business that
is thriving in your community. But like qui, damn, you know,
it used to be that the left would defend pornographers

(34:49):
and thank god, and the left will go it doesn't
matter what they're doing. They've got a right to do this.
And if you don't like pornography, don't buy it, don't
participate in it. Doesn't the same happen here. But because
these animal rights nutbags cannot convince us to live the

(35:13):
way they want to live, they're using the coercive power
the state to force us to live the way they
want to live they want us to live. That's intolerance. Hey,
