this stuff there, including a video of a Saint Bernard
puppy barking. Why because honestly they're so cute. Every time

(03:13):
I see a Saint Bernard puppy, I'm like, hmm, I
want I want another one, But then I don't want
another one.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
I do not Now.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Cooper is in today for a rod and we are
gonna take you through the afternoon. You can text us
anything today. It's like, what do you want to talk
about We can talk about all the political stuff because
it is like every day there's a new fresh layer
of hell, right, I mean, it's like, what's gonna happen
today in politics? I mean it's almost a relief because
no one got shot and no one dropped out of
a presidential race this week.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
So I'm feeling pretty good about things.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
And whatever you guys want to talk about, you can
text us on the Common Spirit Health text line at
five sixty six nine. Oh, that's five sixty six nine. Oh,
Mandy says this Texter Arson. What are the odds?

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (03:59):
Now, to be clear, guys, and I'm not saying it's
not Arson, but I am gonna say it could be
Arson because we.

Speaker 5 (04:05):
Don't know yet. It's like we don't have It could
be people being stupid.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
I got a text message or an email yesterday or
a text message yesterday on the show that said we
were camping last weekend. There are signs everywhere that say
it's a fireman, and yet people still had campfires.

Speaker 5 (04:23):
And there was no enforcement. So it could just be
stupid people doing stupid things. But it could be Arson.
But it could also be a bird that.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
Got electrocuted and fell down and set a grass fire off.
That is what happened outside the fort. How crazy is that?
I mean, these birds have got to get it together.
What is wrong with them? What are they doing freaking
me out? I also speaking of birds, I'm just gonna
jump through the blog really quickly right now. I have

(04:54):
a video on the blog. I believe, and and please
forgive me, I do not. I am not good at
recognizing foreign alphabets, like I can tell this the Korean
alphabet because it is distinctly different, but other Asian languages,
I'm not good at looking at them and telling what

(05:14):
is what. So I apologize for not knowing that, but
I can't know everything.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
And there's a video. I think it's from China, but
I'm not positive.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
If someone speaks multiple Asian languages and can just give
that video a look see and let me know, I'd
appreciate it.

Speaker 5 (05:28):
But it is of a drone that looks like a
flying bird.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
It is nuts, absolutely nuts, And I'm thinking to myself,
and I put this.

Speaker 5 (05:40):
On the blog. You guys, have you ever heard of
the birds? Aren't real people?

Speaker 4 (05:44):
We've talked about this before because we've talked about him
in the context of the flat earthers, because the flat
earthers are the people that genuinely, after everything we've been through,
put men on the moon, which I'm sure they don't
believe either. You know, you can see the curvature of
the Earth when you're flying over the Arctic, because I've
actually seen the curvature of the Earth, they still believe
that the Earth is flat.

Speaker 5 (06:03):
Well, birds aren't real.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
People think that birds aren't real, that they're all surveillance devices.
That they committed mass Adian murder and replaced all of
the birds with drones that look like birds. And if
they see this video, we're done for. They're going to
become even more insufferable than they already are. By the way,
I put a link to their website on a blog today,

(06:25):
And if you've got like four hours to kill going
down a rabbit hole you never knew existed, you're welcome.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
If not, you probably don't want to click on that link.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
So, yeah, Mandy, your newsperson just said there's an arson
investigation starting. Yes, an investigation, but that doesn't necessarily mean
that they're going to find it was arson. Sometimes an
arson investigation finds that it was a natural caused incident.
Sometimes it is Arson. That's why I said it could
be arson, but it could also not be arson. We

(06:55):
won't know until they do the investigation. So yes, you
are correct, Texter, there is an arson investigation started, but
we don't know yet if it is arson. I know
birds are real because I eat a lot of them.
You know that is a fine point, Texter.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
I mean I eat a lot of birds too. What
are we eating?

Speaker 4 (07:15):
It's probably soylent green and we just don't know it. Mandy,
what kind of bird?

Speaker 1 (07:20):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (07:21):
It just looks like a bird.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
Go on the blog and look at it and tell
me what you think, Mandy. What Colorado needs to do
is what they do up in Wyoming. They have rangers
that go by campgrounds and if they have fires after
ten pm, they'll find five hundred dollars.

Speaker 5 (07:35):
And if they find whoops, hang on that just refreshed.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
And if they find that fires have not been put
out properly, they get a fine five hundred dollars. See
right now, it should be any fire. You better have
a camp stove to cook on, because I don't want
you starting for, you know, a forest fire, because you
want to cook.

Speaker 5 (07:51):
Your hot dogs.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
You better figure that out if you're going camping this weekend.
That's a u problem, not a meat problem. But I
think that's a really good idea. But do we have
an enough rangers to do that.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
I do not know.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
Landy, regarding the fire started by the electrocuted bird, do
you think they should be prohibited from flying and required
to make mass transit? If so, how would they pay?
Most don't wear pants, and you know what I heard
during the summer, they won't take boob money on OURTD. Nope,
too Sweaty. It's a fine point, fine point. Ralph says
norahd had to switch from commercial power to internal power

(08:28):
once in the nineteen eighties because the squirrel com a
cozied into a transformer substation. Can we just admit squirrels
must be the most depressed animals. They all have a
death wish or they're the most thrill seeking animals ever,
and they're daring each other to run out into the road.
I had the experience the other day when our squirrel
ran out in front of me, and I'm at the
point in my life where I have both almost killed

(08:52):
myself trying to avoid.

Speaker 5 (08:54):
Running over a squirrel.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
And then there have been other times where I actually
did run over a squirrel, and you know what, I
felt bad for amnt it, but I didn't die. So
I'm like, I don't even care now, I'm just like,
good luck, buddy, good luck squirrel.

Speaker 5 (09:06):
Hope you make it. If you don't, nobody's responsible but you.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
Anyway, not everyone is irresponsible, says this text. I'm assuming
you're talking about campfires. If there's a burn band and
you light a campfire, you are by definition irresponsible because
if there's a burn band, you're not supposed to have
an open flame in the forest.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
Therefore you are irresponsible.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
Now, a lot of people know exactly how to take
care of a campfire when it's not in a burn band,
But if we're in a burn band and you light
a fire, you are irresponsible, full stop.

Speaker 5 (09:38):
Anyway, birds are real.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
I volunteer at a hot quest with Krista Kaefer, and
we take raptors to schools to educate them.

Speaker 5 (09:45):
Well, what a raptors learn at schools?

Speaker 7 (09:47):
I know what you meant.

Speaker 5 (09:48):
I was just being silly, Mandy.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
What do you suppose the kind of person that hate
listens to conservative radio?

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Mandy?

Speaker 4 (09:58):
Okay, what do you suppose is the kind of person
that hate listens to conservative radio. And I've talked about
hate listening before. People who hate everything.

Speaker 5 (10:06):
They send me text.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
Message after text message about how useless.

Speaker 5 (10:09):
I am and how dumb I am and blah blah
blah blah blah.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
And I'm always wondering because they're they're all three hours,
you guys. I can look at their text history. They're
there all three hours. And for me, I think it's
someone who doesn't have a lot of power in their
own life, or they feel like they don't have a
lot of power in their own life for whatever reason,
and so this is their means of feeling like they're

(10:32):
flexing or having some authority over the situation.

Speaker 5 (10:36):
And sometimes they're just jerks, you know.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
I Sometimes they're just they're just angry people who feel
better by crapping all over someone else for whatever, some
justifiable reason that they feel, you know that somehow the
ends justifies the means or whatever.

Speaker 5 (10:52):
And I don't care if they crap all over me,
because it doesn't matter to me.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
I'd rather they crap all over me than crap all
over their wife or their husband, you know, I'd rather
them crap all over me than crap over people in
real life because the text line is not real life.
I mean, I know that there's real people behind it,
but my goodness, if I thought that the text line
was anything I really needed to take to heart, I
would be in a bad way all the time. Mandy,

(11:16):
squirrels are just tree rats with fluffy tails and good
pr That is correct. Did you see the video with
the depressed otter?

Speaker 8 (11:26):
What?

Speaker 5 (11:27):
No, but you need to email it to.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
Mandy Connell at iHeartMedia dot com and we need to
start to go fundme.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
What's he depressed about? What was he sad about?

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Mandy?

Speaker 4 (11:38):
Is there, ever, is there any chance that the news
crew can explain what is meant by percent contain when
talking about the fire?

Speaker 5 (11:47):
You know what, that's a great question. I will see
if I can get an answer to that.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
I will see if we can find out because I
thought that the same I thought that the other day too,
because I saw one of the fires was one percent contained.
What has to happen to make it one percent contained? Obviously,
one hundred percent contained means that they have controlled the fire,
they are putting it out, and we're now in the
late stages.

Speaker 5 (12:12):
So I don't know I do not know.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
Yeah, yeah, we'll just ask for that question, Cooper. See
if Kathy can give us some kind of answer or
some kind of perspective. Maybe come in after Jimmy next segment,
maybe twelve fifty four, to come in in that segment
and talk about this as she knows the answer. This
person said, we need to know about the seventeen year
old knocking up the thirty eight year old. I got
a text message they were married for thirty years. Thirty years,

(12:40):
So there you go, Mandy. Apparently people are eating drones.
Oh my god, wow, I never thought about that, Mandy.
It's a free for all Friday. By the way, on
this Algerian boxer and Ed Khalif, I'm confused, it's being
reported she was assigned female at birth. She was born
in Lger, a Muslim country, in nineteen ninety nine. Did

(13:02):
she appear as a boy or a girl baby at birth?
Because if she came out as a boy baby and
was assigned female at birth, then what does that say
about the Muslim faith.

Speaker 5 (13:11):
I don't think it says anything because it may not
be true.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
Plus, most people don't get chromosome tests done in their
life unless there is a specific reason to do, so,
I wonder when Khalif got her chromosome test done. Apparently
she's been boxing as a female for six years now.
I was talking to Ben Albright a little bit earlier
today because he had posted us off on Twitter, and

(13:35):
it seems that she is actually what would be considered
on the intersex spectrum, that she was born female but
she still has x Y chromosomes.

Speaker 5 (13:47):
I don't know if she has testes or ovaries.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
I don't know about any of that, and this has
all been kind of unconfirmed, but Ben has a source
who says, look, this is pretty accurate. So she was
born female but has x Y chromosomes and that's why
she has been fighting as a female. But that that's
like a whole new frontier of conversation, this Algerian boxer,

(14:16):
because if she is intersex, though I've seen news reports
that say she doesn't identify as intersex or trance. So
there's obviously some kind of something going on there medically.
And I understand why the IOC is protecting medical privacy.

Speaker 5 (14:33):
I get it.

Speaker 4 (14:34):
What I don't understand is why the Algerian fighter is
not saying what's going on. That's what I don't get
because if it were me and all of this controversy
was swirling around me, I would be the first one
to sit down and say, Okay, here's the deal, here's
the situation, and explain what the situation is. And the

(14:57):
International Boxing Federation is the one that did the genetic
test on her, there is some question because the IBF
has been so cor up for so long.

Speaker 5 (15:06):
As a matter of fact, the IOC pretty much.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
Doesn't recognize them anymore, and they're running all the boxing
events through the IOC, and it's like, I don't know,
there's just a lot to this story. Regardless, if she
does have X Y chromosomes, then that opens up a
new frontier in this conversation of what is allowed and
what is not allowed. I think that's why she had

(15:29):
to have her testosterone tested. The Taiwanese boxer is in
a similar situation. This story, I don't think is as
simple as it initially appears to be, because let me
just throw this out here. I'm sure at this point
if you guys have seen the women's rugby team, the
women's rugby teams star and her name just went right
out of my head.

Speaker 5 (15:50):
She looks so intimidating.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
She's big, she's muscular, she has a very square jaw,
and she I mean, put her in a boxing ring
with boxing skills, she could probably really hurt a woman,
but she's a woman.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
It's like, this is all getting very complicated.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
But I again get what the IOC is doing, but
I don't get what the Algerian fighter is doing. I mean,
I guess there's the attitude of she doesn't know anybody
an explanation, But wouldn't you want to kind of get
out and defend yourself. I would anyway, is what she
has called. Has testicles undescended, still produces testosterone, but born female,

(16:32):
so identifies as such. But not to get technical, does
she have female parts.

Speaker 5 (16:37):
On the external part?

Speaker 8 (16:39):
Like?

Speaker 5 (16:39):
What do we got going on?

Speaker 6 (16:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (16:44):
They're reporting that she failed her gender test. If she
failed the test, why is she allowed to compete? If
you fail a drug or doping test, you don't get
to compete. That from Steve, Well, Steve, what I understand
is the IBF, the aforementioned corrupt boxing organization, kind of
cobbled together a bunch of different tests.

Speaker 5 (17:02):
No one's really clear. There's not a gender test. It
was like, oh, your testosterone is too high.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
So they cobbled a bunch of these tests together and
then just said, oh, you failed a series of tests
that we're calling the gender test.

Speaker 5 (17:13):
So what we need is clarification. So that's what we need.
Sounds like cloudy with a chance of meatballs. Wait a minute, what.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
What Mandy?

Speaker 4 (17:27):
Whatever happened to cursing parents put in the cage with
non cursing parents. If parents curse on the air, do
you have an FCC violation? Yes, I do, which is
why we have not invited any parents to be guests
on the show. You think that was a coincidence? No,
can't trust those furry bees. This person said, a defensible

(17:47):
line around the fire is containment. Example, if there were
defensible lines around forty percent of the circle around the fire,
it would be forty percent contained. Oh okay, simple, we'll
find out of Kathy thinks that's true.

Speaker 5 (18:02):
Mandy.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
Did you happen to see Joe seem to wander away
last night during the hostages return? He suddenly walked up
the stairs of the private plane and then disappeared for
a few moments. I wonder if he saw the plane
stairs and thought that the plane was Air Force one.
I you know this is gonna sound bad now.

Speaker 5 (18:19):
I don't even have.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
Time to tell you because it sounds that bad. You'll
have to wait until after I talked to Jimmy Sengenberger.
He is following the Trial of the Century with Tina Peters,
so we don't have to He's coming up next, but
I want to do this before I bring Jimmy on
to talk about the Trial of the Century as I've
named it. I love, love, love some of the people
in our community. I just was on opening my Facebook
page and I saw a post on jeff Co Kids

(18:42):
First and Lindsay Datko and jeff Co Kids First are
working right now to gather items for the firefighters who
are fighting the fire in Jefferson County.

Speaker 5 (18:52):
And I honestly, I got a little emotional because.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
When these things happen and you see people in the
community pulling together to be very specific about the kind
of help they're offering, because everybody wants to help, but
they're being very specific. And if you're a member of
jeff Co Kids First, check their Facebook page to see
what they need. They're getting stuff to help the firefighters
and the people out there fighting these fires, and I
just got really I got a little fclemped about it

(19:17):
because it's always so heartwarming to see the way people
just step up and say we can help and they're
doing it. So I just want to say a big
shout out to Jeff co kids first, and Lindsey Datko
and everybody I know who's behind the scenes. They're making
these things happen, and the people that are donating and
stuff is just fantastic to help the firefighters. Now, totally
different story altogether, as the Tina Peters turns is going

(19:39):
on right now in a Mason County courtroom where Tina
Peters she is the former county clerk. Correct, correct, okay, okay,
hang on, there we go now it's fixed. Now can
you hear me? Jimmy, Oh, Jimmy, can't hear me me?
We have an interesting with here and I don't.

Speaker 7 (20:04):
Let's if.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Okay, I'm happy to model through.

Speaker 5 (20:14):
What is Hang on second, Jimmy, what's going on? Because
I I am okay.

Speaker 7 (20:21):
Well, Tina Peters of course has been in court the
past few days.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
Jimmy, hang on, hang on, We're gonna get you because
I don't know what the problem is.

Speaker 5 (20:33):
And we will figure that outer. Jimmy, can you call
the hotline?

Speaker 6 (20:35):
Do you have it?

Speaker 4 (20:36):
Yes, he's going to call the call the hotline on that.
Sorry about that. We'll figure that out and make that happen.

Speaker 5 (20:40):
Since my other interviews are on Zoom as well today.

Speaker 4 (20:43):
Now, what Jimmy is talking about, of course, is the
trial of now former Clerk of Court Tina Peters, who
is facing charges for a variety of stuff including identity
theft and stealing some voting records and everything else. This
has been going on for two and a half years.
If you just heard from about this story, it's been

(21:04):
going on for some time now. And Jimmy is watching
the trial as it's going on. Tina's arguing that she
was protecting she was protecting the integrity of the ballot.
She was involved in a cybersecurity conference with Mike Lindell,

(21:25):
the my Pillow guy, and has decided that somehow there's
all of this fraud, even though none of the evidence
seems to show that there's fraud.

Speaker 5 (21:34):
So this is where we are.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
Do we have Jimmy Cooper, Oh, dang it, day it,
day it, dang it. We'll get Jimmy on in a second.
In the meantime, though, thank you for all the people
who are now saying echo Chamber. I'll figure that out
myself in just a few minutes. But we'll have Jimmy
on in just a minute. But this is yet more
of the nonsense going on between the Republicans in colorad

(22:01):
And at this point, I hope it's a very small
group of Republicans that are still heavily involved with trying
to go back and reliticate the twenty twenty election. And again,
I think this is a very small number now, but
she was at the forefront of this. She is a hero,
as I saw in news media coverage yesterday, to people
who believe that the twenty twenty election was stolen and

(22:22):
they're waiting to find out what happens here.

Speaker 9 (22:23):
Now.

Speaker 4 (22:23):
I am too, because I think she's going to be
found guilty and at that point, can we just move on.
We have a lot of the major players in this,
Sydney Powell, Jenna Ellis, they've already pleaded out their charges,
they've already admitted they didn't have the evidence, there was
no Kraken, and yet people are still clinging to the
notion that there's all of this evidence out there just

(22:45):
waiting to be uncovered that proves that Donald Trump won
the election. Mike Lindell came on the show and said
he'd spent forty million dollars doing this. At what point
does a delusion become mental illness? At what point does
something become a don keyxotee like quest? You know, at
what point do you have to say, maybe I'm wrong,

(23:11):
even if there was huge, huge Okay, Jimmy's back. I'm
gonna bring Jimmy on, but I'll ask him these same
questions as well. Now, Jimmy, sorry about that. Don't know
what was going on with that. I'll figure that out
in a moment. That being said, I just kind of
gave a rundown on the basics of the case. But
what is Tina actually being charged with? Again, to refresh
our memory, Oh.

Speaker 7 (23:31):
Goodness, there are seven felony counts excuse me, that she
has been charged with, including criminal impersonation and her conspiracy
to commit criminal impersonation and account of identity theft, and
a handful of others. But seven different felony accounts and
I think three misdemeanors. Now, they have not gotten to
anything in regards to the law of it all yet,

(23:54):
because this is just testimony so far of fact witnesses
and people who have their stories to tell, and that
has been very fascinating to watch so far in the
live stream that they actually have for this trial, which
is quite fascinating to me.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
Well, I find that interesting as well, that they're having
a live stream for a trial of this nature.

Speaker 5 (24:13):
Is that common in Mesa County?

Speaker 8 (24:15):
Do you know?

Speaker 7 (24:17):
I don't know. I think that this kind of a
case though. I could see the intrigue level for them
to want it to be cast publicly, but I'm not
sure how it compares well.

Speaker 5 (24:29):
I would say this.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
I mean, if you have a in most courtrooms in
counties are not that big, right, So if you want
to make sure that you're not going to have too
many people showing up for a trial, that's the best
way to do it, right, I mean just essentially say
it's we're going to put this on TV. You can
watch it from home.

Speaker 7 (24:50):
Well, yeah, And there is so much interest in this
case because it has some national intrigue that's developed over
the past several years. It fits in with the whole
narrative of stolen elections and so forth in Colorado. Really
has become a focal point for all of that, from
Tina Peters to others.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
Well, Jimmy I was talking about the fact that Jenna
Ellis has pled out Sidney Kraken, has pled out the
people that sort of led the charge. We all remember
Sidney Polli saying released the Kraken, and now she's like,
there was no kracking. So if Tina Peters is convicted,
let's jump ahead, we'll do the assumed clothes.

Speaker 5 (25:26):
If she's convicted, what.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
Does that do to the ongoing movement of people that
truly and genuinely believe that the election was stolen, that
the evidence is out there somewhere, even though it's never
been shown to you know, in any demonstrative way. Every
lawsuit's been lost or thrown out. I mean, it's just,

(25:48):
at what point do we just say it's time to
move on?

Speaker 7 (25:51):
Well, I think that time to move on is well
passed already. But for many of her supporters or people
who really believe that something happened in twenty twenty with
the elections, I don't think they're going to be convinced
otherwise whatsoever. For in fact, I've gone back and forth
a little bit with some people on x where there's

(26:12):
been this discussion of the trial, a number of folks
talking about it, and I've made the point that, look,
there's no there there from what she's said, she's proven,
he didn't prove a single thing. And yet literally today
somebody was tweeting it me saying twenty nine thousand votes
were deleted and that is not what happened at all.

(26:34):
That's not even what Tina Piers has alleged happened in
the first place.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
So now it's just gotten a life of its own.
It's just turned into something completely different.

Speaker 7 (26:43):
I think many respects it has, and a lot of
what this trial is coming down to to me is
an ends justify the means defense. They're not ranks to
as I understand and make that argument, but in the fact,
that's really all they can have, except there's no ends
that they can actually point to and say this was
legit and this actually proved something in the first place,

(27:05):
let alone the means of feeling as is alleged to
somebody's identity and having somebody else go in impersonating that person.

Speaker 4 (27:13):
Right right, Well, obviously you think the trial is going
to go for another week?

Speaker 5 (27:16):
Is that what you said? Till next Friday. That's what
you have.

Speaker 7 (27:20):
I think at least until next Wednesday, possibly through to
next Friday. They've already gone through today free witnesses. They
had two yesterday that were substantial, and they have more
of this afternoon. I'm here, impossibly including vere old Wood,
the man whose identity was used and who last Monday

(27:40):
I spoke with on this past Monday, spoke with when
I filled in for Ross Kaminski.

Speaker 4 (27:46):
And if you haven't read Jimmy's writing on this, the
way this man and his family were victimized by this
crime is insane and which should be unacceptable for anyone.

Speaker 5 (27:56):
But Jimmy will have you back on next week as
the Tina Peters turns. And I'm glad you're watching it
so I don't have to.

Speaker 10 (28:04):
You now.

Speaker 7 (28:04):
I'm doing a service for the country.

Speaker 5 (28:07):
You're doing God's work. That's Jimmy second Berger.

Speaker 4 (28:10):
You can read his work in the Denver Gazette and
here and fill in across the iHeart stations.

Speaker 5 (28:14):
We're very happy about that. Thanks Jimmy, and we'll be
right back. It is a free for all Friday.

Speaker 4 (28:20):
Someone asked on the text line, what does it mean
when a fire is contained, one percent contained, ten percent contained,
one hundred percent contained. And as I did not know
the answer, I do what I normally did. I found
someone smarter than me, Kathy Walker. Of course from our newsroom,
she is smarter than me. So Kathy explain how.

Speaker 5 (28:40):
Does that work?

Speaker 11 (28:41):
Well, as someone who's been around firefighting for a lot
of decades, Containment is really just an expression and a
percentage of what percent of the fire has a line
around it. So if they map the total fire, say
it's a circle that's ten acres or ten miles, let's.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Say ten miles. That's even.

Speaker 11 (29:02):
Say it's ten miles and they have a line around
five miles of it, then it's fifty percent contained. But
when fires grow, those containment numbers can go down. Does
that make sense?

Speaker 4 (29:14):
Oh yeah, because then they go out of the barrier
and then they'd be less of a percentage contained.

Speaker 5 (29:19):
Correct.

Speaker 11 (29:19):
So containment is always very much a moving target, and
it generally means that you either have such a hard
porous surface that the fire cannot cross, like maybe a
big rock ridge. Right, they might consider two hundred yards
of a rock ridge a containment line, but then beyond

(29:41):
that it might be because a bulldozer shoveled out a
mile of line in another really rocky steep area. It
might be because a hand crew dug out all the
vegetation in another three hundred yards, So there's lots of
ways to conce or containment. What makes containment generally though

(30:03):
it's a line, Sometimes it's a drop of fire retardant.

Speaker 4 (30:07):
That's so gonna say, because I heard one of the
fires was one percent contained. And don't get me wrong, okay,
I'm you know, the public wants to know, especially the
people that are in that area, what's going on with
the fire. But it's like, one percent is that really
worth announcing?

Speaker 7 (30:20):
You know?

Speaker 4 (30:21):
It's like, I mean, maybe wait till you get to
five percent or something, because it just feels like you're good,
Well one percent, are we really celebrating just yet? I mean,
you know, but I guess every bit of news is
good news, especially if you're in the path of either
of those fires.

Speaker 5 (30:34):
So, okay, good now, we know. Thank you Kathy Walker
for clearing that up.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
We got a lot of stuff on the text line.
We also have a guest coming up next. If we
can make the zoom work, we'll see he is in Paris,
Jeremy Bloom is a former Olympian himself. I can't wait
to talk to him about being an Olympian in that experience.
So we'll give him a call right after this and
get him on. And right now we're going to do news, traffic, weather,

(30:59):
Keep it on KOA.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Stay in the no on KOA.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and injury lawyers.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Well, no, it's Mandy Connell, Andy Condell on kam god
Way Say the Nice by Donald Keith sad Babe.

Speaker 5 (31:32):
Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the second hour of the show.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
I'm your host, Mandy Connell and thrilled to be joined
from Gay Pelly by our next guest. He knows something
about what the Olympians are going through now, Jeremy Bloom,
not only an Olympic competitor and a CU football player,
played in the NFL and now he's building companies. I mean, Jeremy,
you're a very impressive person. I don't know if you

(31:56):
know this, Like, I mean, you got a lot of
stuff if you've accomplished for a young man.

Speaker 6 (32:02):
I just don't like the sleep, Mandy, So yeah, like
leave some for.

Speaker 5 (32:07):
The rest of us.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
Dude, Okay, leave something out there for the rest of us.
Tell my audience about your Olympics experience. You were young
when you were in the Olympics. You were sixteen years
old freestyle skier.

Speaker 5 (32:17):
I mean, what was that like?

Speaker 8 (32:19):
Yeah, the year after my senior year of high school,
became a first time Olympian for Team USA. And it
was just so grateful and honor to wear the red,
white and blue at opening ceremonies and represent Team USA
as a teenager.

Speaker 6 (32:34):
And then my second Olympics.

Speaker 8 (32:36):
I was twenty four or no, I'm sorry, twenty three,
so it was a little bit more experienced, and you know,
but it was an incredible career as a freestyle skier bumps,
jumps and flips and all the sort of fun, dangerous stuff.
And grew up in the mountains of Colorado on the
best snow in the world, skiing and learning how to ski.

Speaker 6 (32:56):
And it was just a great honor to represent Team USA.

Speaker 5 (33:00):
But you didn't stop with just being an Olympian. I mean,
you know, why would you just stop there.

Speaker 4 (33:05):
You actually played college football at CU, played some in
the NFL before an injury took you out, and then
you've moved right from that into two major endeavors. You
created a nonprofit we're going to talk about here in
a minute because I think it's literally the coolest thing
I've ever heard.

Speaker 5 (33:20):
And you built a tech company and sold it. So
I want to ask you.

Speaker 4 (33:24):
I bring those things out not to just dazzle people
with your resume, but do you believe that there's something
in your personality that makes you into the kind of
person who is going to try and be the best
at whatever you do.

Speaker 8 (33:37):
Well, I'm the youngest of three many and so for
the first decade of my life on planet Earth, I
lost at everything to my brother.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
And sister, you know.

Speaker 8 (33:47):
So I think a lot of my drive and hunger
and grit and resiliency was really shaped at a pretty
young age, you know, growing up in a very competitive
outdoor family.

Speaker 6 (33:59):
We were skiing and biking and hiking.

Speaker 8 (34:01):
We you know, weren't watching TV unless it was the
Denver Broncos or it was the Olympics period, like that's it.
And so, yeah, you know, I've been very driven my
whole life. I love chasing big goals. I like to
think of it as climbing different mountains, whether it was
football or skiing or for profit or nonprofit, and I
get a great deal of, you know, sort of meaning

(34:22):
out of life pursuing those streams.

Speaker 4 (34:24):
What is your favorite Summer Olympics sport? Because I'm gonna
guess that you're really drawn to the skiing sports in
the winter.

Speaker 8 (34:30):
But what do you love about the Summer Olympics. You know,
I love track and field. I love the one hundred
meter dash. I was so lucky to see Usain boltwin
all three of his gold medals in the one hundred
meter dash at all the past Olympics, and so I
love that. Obviously, Simone Biles what she has done in

(34:52):
what was a really incredible comeback to think of a
twenty seven year old woman.

Speaker 6 (34:58):
Doing what she is doing in a sport where a
lot of people say you.

Speaker 8 (35:03):
Peak at seventeen eighteen. So I really appreciated that great
form of greatness. But more so than the event many
I love the human spirit at the Olympics. I think
it's on full display. I think it's a great unifier.
The world comes together and no matter what the sport,
whether it be a canoeing or rowing or shooting, is

(35:26):
getting a lot of attention right now it's some great
personalities in those sports.

Speaker 5 (35:30):
Can wait.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
We got to talk about the Turkish guy because I
freaking love this guy so so he shows up like
everybody else. They come out, they got their laser eyeball
cover thing whatever, and they've got all this dude walks
up in a T shirt with his hand in his
pocket and just goes pam ba ba ba bam and
he's on the metal stands.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Yeah, Silver play.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
It's like, there's so many good stories in this Olympics
like that. And I don't know if you've been following
along Soup dog if you had a chance to see
Snoop at the Olympics. That was something I did not expect,
but I am enjoying immensely because, like you, he's just
a fan.

Speaker 8 (36:06):
You know. I've got some funny caption about Snoop Dogg
and it said something to extent of amazing transformation from
one of the best rappers of all time to America's
favorite grandpa.

Speaker 6 (36:17):
The Olympics, it's.

Speaker 8 (36:18):
Just just classic and him showing up with different athletes
on you know, his his T shirts and jackets every
different event.

Speaker 6 (36:27):
It's it's been a lot of fun. Paris has done
an amazing job.

Speaker 8 (36:30):
I've been to every sort of Olympics since Salt Lake
City and Torino, and I tell you, everything is really
well organized over here, and from a fans perspective, which
I get now, it's just really been in incredible games.

Speaker 5 (36:44):
Well, I wanted to ask you specifically about the Olympic.

Speaker 4 (36:47):
Is there kind of an Olympic fraternity, Like, once you've
been in the Olympics, do you maintain.

Speaker 5 (36:52):
Those relationships throughout?

Speaker 6 (36:54):
Is is it?

Speaker 4 (36:55):
You know, because I know guys in the NFL they
have that, Like you have the NFL fraternity where one
you're in, you're in kind of thing.

Speaker 5 (37:01):
Are the Olympics the same?

Speaker 6 (37:03):
Without question? It's a brotherhood, it's a sisterhood.

Speaker 7 (37:07):
You know.

Speaker 8 (37:07):
For the few of us who are so lucky enough
to become an Olympian, we know what everybody went through,
no matter what the sport is.

Speaker 6 (37:15):
You know the level of sacrifice both.

Speaker 8 (37:18):
Physically, emotionally mentally that it takes to just make an
Olympic team.

Speaker 6 (37:23):
And it's the great it's a great unifier.

Speaker 8 (37:25):
And so when I meet people from other sports and
different walks of life, different generations, whether older or younger,
there's a sense of family, family, you know, there's a
sense of familiarity that you don't find in everyday normal life.

Speaker 6 (37:38):
So yeah, we stay in touch.

Speaker 8 (37:40):
We have a great amount of respect for one another,
and it is like a fraternity or a sorority.

Speaker 4 (37:45):
I have one friend from high school that participated in
the ninety two Games in Barcelona, and he married a
Hungarian gymnast from those games, So I was like, boy,
the Olympics.

Speaker 5 (37:55):
Really worked out for you, didn't it. It'll be the
first to say, yeah, it was the best thing.

Speaker 7 (37:59):
Ever.

Speaker 4 (38:00):
When you watch something, are you watching an event and
you see an athlete, you know, get the yips or
stumble or falter?

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Does it?

Speaker 5 (38:08):
Do you feel it?

Speaker 4 (38:09):
Because you know what goes into all of these performances.

Speaker 8 (38:14):
I was at swimming the other night and I saw
an athlete violate the fifteen meter rule, which I didn't
even know what it was, but basically, he stayed underwater
over fifteen meters when he dove in, and I guess
that's illegal.

Speaker 6 (38:27):
And it was so close they showed it on the
replay and it must have been a centimeter. Yeah, And
I saw a look on his face and.

Speaker 8 (38:34):
I was devastated for him. I don't know him, I
could even tell you what country it was at. But sure,
you know, there is two very different sides of the coin,
so to say, at the Olympics, those that reached the
pinnacle and win the Olympic gold medal and we love
celebrating them or on the podium. And there's those who
train their entire life this one moment and make one
little mistake and maybe they get a second chance, but

(38:57):
most likely they don't. And I think that's the beauty
of the Olympics because it really is. Yes, it's once
every four years, but it's once every lifetime or for
most of these so the pressure is just all time high.

Speaker 5 (39:10):
Well it's I'm with you. I love the Olympics.

Speaker 4 (39:12):
And I realized there's been some controversy about the opening ceremonies.
There's some controversy about women's boxing, and you know, there's
a lot of people.

Speaker 5 (39:19):
Who are like, boycott the Games.

Speaker 4 (39:21):
No, I am all in because none of that has
anything to do with the athletes that we're talking about
right now, and I want to see them compete.

Speaker 5 (39:30):
And how often do I get to watch humans.

Speaker 4 (39:32):
Do steeple chase and horses do steeple chase in the
same three day period.

Speaker 5 (39:37):
I mean, it's just this is a glorious time. I
love the Olympics.

Speaker 4 (39:40):
But I want to talk with you, Jeremy bloom is
my guest, about your nonprofit that has now been purchased
by AARP Wishes of a Lifetime.

Speaker 5 (39:49):
What in the world.

Speaker 4 (39:50):
First of all, I think this is amazing and I'm
going to tell people what it is in a second.
But what inspired this for you? What was the thing
that made you say I want to grant wishes for
older people who have always wanted to do this, that
or the other.

Speaker 8 (40:05):
I grew up with two really incredible grandparents, and my
grandfather was actually the first person to ever teach me
how to ski at the age of three, and he
used to pack his pockets full of miniature sized candy
bars and throw them down the mountain, and if I
was good enough to ski and find them, I could
eat them. And so, needless to say, I just I
loved skiing at a very young age thanks to the
genius and ingenuity of my grandfather, who, by the way,

(40:28):
through seventeen missions on a B seventeen bomber of a
World War two, just an incredible, incredible human being, and
he worked four jobs from the ages of ten to
fifteen to just support his family because his father, you know,
took off on the family.

Speaker 6 (40:41):
So, you know, I loved my grandfather. His name was
Jerry Bloom. I'm actually named after him.

Speaker 8 (40:46):
And then my grandmother on my mom's side lived with
us in the first nineteen years of my life and
downstairs in my household. So I loved my grandparents. I
don't think that generation gets enough credit. I don't think
we do enough for them. I don't think we recognize
their dreams nearly enough, or sometimes even their existence in
our country. And so wishable lifetime was really created to

(41:06):
put them on top of the podium, so to say,
and give them a gold medal by saying, hey, you're
important to our society, you're important to us, and we're
an organization's going to grant your lifelong wish.

Speaker 6 (41:16):
So what is it, and let's roll, let's go make
it happen.

Speaker 8 (41:19):
You know, time isn't on any of our sides, especially
that generation, and so we aspired a grant as many
wishes as we possibly can across the country.

Speaker 5 (41:28):
I wasn't reminded.

Speaker 4 (41:29):
I used to be a flight attendant in my early
twenties for Delta Airlines, and I was reminded it was
like nineteen ninety three and I had a couple, an
older couple come on the plane and they were.

Speaker 5 (41:38):
Dressed to the nines.

Speaker 4 (41:39):
Now this was already the nineties, so people were wearing
pajama pants on the plane. We had already gone beyond
where you got dressed up to fly, but they were
just absolutely decked out.

Speaker 5 (41:47):
They sat and coach.

Speaker 4 (41:48):
We moved them to first class. This was pre nine
to eleven, so we could do that. And they had
been married fifty seven years. And when they got married,
he promised her that he would take her on an
airplane flight and something happened and they couldn't and that
was her first time on an airplane and they I mean,
they'd been married for fifty seven years, and I was

(42:08):
it was such a joyful thing to be a part
of and it was just I will never forget that
for the rest of my life.

Speaker 5 (42:14):
And that's what I thought of.

Speaker 4 (42:15):
What are some of the wishes that you guys have granted,
and what are some of the ones that you just
thought that's really cool?

Speaker 8 (42:21):
Well, I love that story, Thanks for sharing. We grant
a lot of first time experiences. We granted an incredible
wish to a very humble woman in Alabama who had
never seen the ocean and wished to go to the
ocean for the first time. You think of the simplicity
of that wish, and we took her to the ocean
and her story went viral. I think it was shared

(42:41):
in one hundred and twenty countries. Wow, because she's such
an incredible person. We do a lot of first time
skydiving wishes.

Speaker 6 (42:50):
Jumping out of plane that nineties in their nineties.

Speaker 8 (42:53):
Which which we love to facilitate. But it's a lot
of reconnections in life. So hey, you know, we'll get
a wish that says, hey, I haven't seen my brother
or sister in fifteen twenty years, or you know I
served at this person in the army or the military.

Speaker 6 (43:08):
You think we could reconnect after sixty years? Could you
help us find them?

Speaker 8 (43:11):
And one of my favorite reconnection wishes was for three
sisters that all grew up in Kansas and they hadn't
seen each other over fifteen years, and the youngest who
wrote to us was one hundred and three years old
and the oldest was one hundred and nine.

Speaker 5 (43:26):
Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 8 (43:27):
She connected these three Centurion sisters all together in Connecticut
and they got to have two days together.

Speaker 6 (43:35):
It was just a really awesome wish.

Speaker 5 (43:37):
I love this so much.

Speaker 4 (43:39):
You sold the nonprofit to AARP and they're continuing to
do this. I put a link to that on the
blog today. I just think it's absolutely extraordinary. I mean, Jeremy,
you somebody just pointed out on the blog, Molly Bloom
is your sister.

Speaker 6 (43:53):
Yeah, so, Molly Bloom, the Poker Princesses is my sister.

Speaker 4 (43:57):
When are your parents going to write a parenting book
on how to start not know how to create? Like,
go get our children that are super smart? I mean,
does your brother, your other brother, feel like he's left
out because he hasn't you know, I don't know what
he's doing.

Speaker 7 (44:11):
Irony.

Speaker 8 (44:12):
The irony is my brother is the middle and he
is arguably the most successful out of all three of us.
He he's a cardiothoracic surgeon at Mass General and he
went to Harvard and he's just one of the sharpest
people you've ever met. And he's actually literally saving lives
as a cardiothoracic surgeon. So it's funny you should ask
that that's probably the most one of the more calming

(44:33):
questions we all get at this point. And so I
asked my dad to to sort of put together his
framework for parenting, and I actually put it on my
website Jeremy Bloom dot com. There's a there's a table
that says parenting and you can sort of read for
you know, his framework in my mom's framework of how
they thought about raising us.

Speaker 6 (44:48):
But yeah, really proud of both of my siblings.

Speaker 8 (44:51):
I was honored, you know, to watch them be successful
in different areas in their own right, and certainly proud
of all the great work they're doing.

Speaker 4 (44:58):
Jeremy Bloom, you're just to see fascinating guy. And next
time you're back from the Olympics or world trotting and
want to come in and hang out, please do.

Speaker 5 (45:05):
This is a great conversation.

Speaker 4 (45:07):
And I put a link to Jeremy's website where you
can find those parenting tips. I also put a link
to Wish of a Lifetime if you have someone with
a wish. Isn't it interesting that the wishes. I look
through some of the wishes earlier, they're never really about
about things, you know, they are about like having an
experience very simple stuff too.

Speaker 8 (45:26):
It's very it's often very simple stuff, but you're right,
it's not Hey, I've always wished for a Lamborghini or
a Mercedes.

Speaker 6 (45:33):
Yeah, material thing.

Speaker 8 (45:34):
It's always an experience learning something new that they've always
wanted to do, or or seeing somebody that's been meaningful
to their life that they haven't been able to reconnect with.
And I love it, and it's been it's been a
wonderful journey. And now we're affiliated with AARP. I'm still
the board chair and obviously really really involved working with
Joann Jenkins and Scott Fish and the whole team at

(45:55):
AARP to roll our mission across the country so we
can grant more and more wishes.

Speaker 6 (45:59):
They've been one wonderful partner.

Speaker 5 (46:01):
Jeremy Bloom, a true joy. Do you have a book?
You need a book. You got to write a book.
Everybody writes a book.

Speaker 6 (46:06):
Jeremy Well linked to it. It's called re Calibra.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
Go months ago or so.

Speaker 4 (46:13):
You got to lead with the book. You lead with
what you're selling.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
You lead with that.

Speaker 5 (46:18):
You should know that you got this. It's all fine, Jeremy.
I appreciate your time today. Man, great to see you
all right, have fun.

Speaker 4 (46:26):
Is there anybody have you got any like word on
the street about any like Olympians that we should be
watching for specifically that we haven't heard about.

Speaker 6 (46:34):
You probably heard about him, but Noah Lyles, Carl Richardson. Yeah,
going for gold.

Speaker 8 (46:39):
They got a chance to both win, and we haven't
had a woman on the top of one hundred meter
podium for some time, so that that could be some
history in the making.

Speaker 4 (46:48):
It seems like these games are going really well for
the women. You got Katie Ledecki, you got the women's
gymnastics team that we're just so so good, and so
this is a good games for the women. The men
are doing so bad either, but the women are really
having some good games so far.

Speaker 8 (47:03):
Women rugby team, they've ever won a medal or it's
been by one hundred years.

Speaker 6 (47:09):
I mean, they were incredible to watch.

Speaker 4 (47:10):
They made me look up how to play rugby, like
not because I want to play it, but I was like,
what the heck are the rules of this game? So
my husband and I are looking at the rules of
rugby as we're watching the women's rugby team.

Speaker 5 (47:20):
It was great, absolutely great. Jeremy, we'll talk.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
Again sometime I appreciate it all right, thank you. That
is Jeremy Bloom and super fascinating guy. What a family,
Mandy the nc DOUBLEA. Oh, was Jeremy Bloom millions of
dollars in lost income when he was a world class
geer and college athlete. He has some stuff on his website.
I dug around on his website Jeremy Bloom dot com.
He's got multiple videos and stories like that on his website.

(47:44):
But yeah, he was kind of one of the leading
edged people when it came to name and likeness because
he was getting money for his skiing career and the
NCUBA came and said, you can't play football anymore because
you're getting money for your skiing career.

Speaker 5 (48:02):
And that really really sucks, really really really sucks.

Speaker 4 (48:07):
This person said Jeremy, no jolly ranchers from grandpa old
tradition when skiing in Colorado. Maybe Grandpa was one of
those grandpas who gave out the full sized candy bars
at Halloween. If you know what I mean, every going
to know those are the best houses. Someday I want
to be rich enough to give her up full sized
candy bars a Halloween because you're just throwing money away

(48:27):
at that point, Mandy, I wish more people gave the
greatest generation there due my father and his four brothers
served in World War Two. Please thank him for his
foundation's work for me. I loved this whole idea. I
absolutely love it. I'm trying to think of older people
that I can get a wish granted four. I mean,
that would be amazing. By the way, we're having an

(48:51):
ask me anything kind of day. You can text me
anything at five, six, six, nine.

Speaker 2 (48:55):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (48:55):
Now we're going to move on to some other stuff.

Speaker 4 (48:59):
So remember a couple of days ago, maybe yesterday, we
were talking about the acting director of the Secret Service
testifying in front of Congress, and Russell Ronald row excuse me,
Acting Director Ronald Rowe denied. Ted Cruz was hammering on
who made the decision to deny extra protection for the

(49:21):
Trump campaign and who made those decisions, and he literally
refused to say that there was a person that was
making that final decision, and that's garbage in a bureaucracy.
The buck stopped somewhere, and that's a phrase Ted Cruz used,
and he said, where does the buck stop? Well, according
to a whistleblower, it stopped near or around Ronald Row.

Speaker 5 (49:45):
So Josh Holly.

Speaker 4 (49:46):
Senator Josh Holly sent a letter to Ronald Row citing
disturbing information from at least one whistleblower citing secret Service
planning failures for the Butler Pennsylvania campaign event. Holly said
he'd received detailed information that Rowe personally directed significant cuts
to the Counter Surveillance Division. That's the department that goes

(50:09):
in ahead of time and performs a threat assessment evaluation
at all event sites that did not occur at the
Butler County site. Holly wrote, this is significant because CSD's
duties include evaluating potential security threats outside the security perimeter.
The whistleblower claims that if personnel from the CSD had

(50:30):
been present at the rally, the gunman would have been
handcuffed in the parking lot after being spotted with a rangefinder.

Speaker 5 (50:36):
You acknowledged.

Speaker 4 (50:37):
He continues in your senate testimony that the American Glass
Research Complex should have been included in the security perimeter
for the Butler event, so this guy has now stepped
in it. The unknown whistleblower further alleged that Rowe personally
directed significant cuts to the CSD, including reducing the division's

(50:59):
man power by twenty percent. Holly said, you did not
mention this in your Senate testimony when asked directly to
explain manpower reductions.

Speaker 5 (51:11):
So there you have it. This is there's two things
that are happening right now.

Speaker 4 (51:15):
With all the chaotic things that are going on and
Trump saying Kamala is an Indian, that's all just fluff
and nonsense. There are two things happening right now that
I am extremely concerned about.

Speaker 5 (51:27):
One is that it is getting harder to.

Speaker 4 (51:32):
Imagine that there was not at a minimum purposeful negligence
by someone at the Secret Service that created the environment
that allowed Donald Trump to get shot. And by purposeful,
you know, ignorance, you don't really do your job to

(51:56):
the best of your ability because you don't necessarily like
the person that you're doing it.

Speaker 5 (52:00):
Four And now you could.

Speaker 4 (52:03):
Take that one step further. Why would this man say
that he was not the person and when he whistleblowers
say he is the person. Not only that, multiple whistleblowers
have come forward to say they tried to tell someone
and they were retaliated against.

Speaker 5 (52:20):
So that's kind of crazy.

Speaker 4 (52:21):
This texter at five six six nine zero says Mandy
on the new Secret Service Director, Ron Roe. If you
follow Dan Bongino, he's got nothing to say good to
say about Roe. Roe was essentially the number two in
command and part of the problem, and now has been
appointed as acting director, probably will become actual director. I
don't know if he could get Senate confirmation, because you know,

(52:42):
we all think that the lines in the sand politically
are drawn really, really deep. But there was a lot
of Democrats on that panel that were asking him really
hard questions, and I don't know that he would get confirmed,
especially if what Josh Holly is saying it's true.

Speaker 5 (53:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (53:01):
If he misrepresented himself in front of Congress once, he
should be held accountable for perjury, but we all know
he won't because that only happens if.

Speaker 5 (53:08):
You're on the right.

Speaker 4 (53:10):
If you're on the left, it's all blown off. Contempt
of Congress not a big deal on the left. Contempt
of Congress.

Speaker 5 (53:16):
On the right, you're going to jail. We'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (53:20):
I remember yesterday when I was talking about the fact
that Israel has now taken out there. It has been
confirmed three recent deaths at the hands of Israel, and
I'm just gonna say at the hands of Israel, because
there's a zero percent chancey anybody else did it. First,
we have the political head of Hamas, who was in

(53:41):
Iran for the new President of Iran's inauguration. But wait
until you hear how they took this guy out. Holy cow, talk.

Speaker 5 (53:54):
About playing the long game.

Speaker 4 (53:56):
So apparently an exclusive device was smuggled into a Tehran
guesthouse two months ago. The Israelis smuggled the bomb in
two months ago planted it in.

Speaker 5 (54:11):
The guest house.

Speaker 4 (54:13):
The guest house is run and protected by the Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps and as part of a large compound
in a fancy neighborhood in northern Tehran. Once they had
absolute certainty that he was in that guest house, they
remotely detonated the bomb and blew him up.

Speaker 5 (54:32):
Bye bye, henniye bye bye. Two months ago.

Speaker 4 (54:37):
Can you imagine in Iran right now, any place that
any kind of leadership goes is being tossed like a
prison warden right It's they are tearing everything apart looking
for the next explosive device.

Speaker 5 (54:49):
Nothing says we can get you wherever we want to
get you. More than that.

Speaker 4 (54:56):
Now, what's going to happen next in this situation. I
read a lot of stuff after the show yesterday. It's
kind of like like a James Bond movie thing, you know,
So there's an aura of like, holy crap, that's kind
of cool, although it's warfare, so that's not ever supposed
to be cool, but that's kind of cool. But what
happens after this, right, Well, they didn't stop there, nope.

(55:18):
They also killed the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's
Aerospace division. They took him out in an airstrike north
of Beirut in lebanon same day, and Israel announced also
that they had confirmed that they took out the leader
of Hamasa's military wing last month in Gaza. So if

(55:41):
you're keeping score, out of all of Hamas's leadership, there's
one dude left, Yah sinoir is believed to be living
in the tunnels underneath Gaza. I'm guessing he's going to
be looking over his shoulder pretty hard every single moment
of every single day. But the response from Iran is

(56:03):
going to be very interesting. What's really interesting is that
the leadership of Iran and the leadership of Israel do
not want a hot war. They don't want to go
at it and have to end this thing. So does
Iran come back with missiles? And if the missiles are
all intercepted by the Iron Dome again, what does that mean?

(56:24):
Now Israel's proxies are going to be looking at Israel
and essentially saying, Okay.

Speaker 5 (56:29):
Now they're coming for you on your territory. What are
you gonna do?

Speaker 4 (56:33):
And Israel can't afford to lose face with their proxies
and give any impression of weakness, So I fully expect
some kind of retaliation.

Speaker 7 (56:40):
Just so you know.

Speaker 4 (56:41):
In Iran right now, there's this massive bridge. I have
no idea where the bridge is or what it's over,
but it's been lit up in red to indicate that
the Iranians are coming for revenge. Nothing like serving it
not cold at all, because you know, announcing that you're
coming for revenge is it's kind of like.

Speaker 5 (57:02):
A Niga Montoyo in The Princess Bride. He's announcing he's
coming for vengeance.

Speaker 4 (57:06):
I wonder if they're going to show up and say,
you know, you killed my political leader and now you
must die.

Speaker 5 (57:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (57:12):
This could be an extremely scary situation, but I'd say,
right now, if I had to guess who was ahead
in this back and forth, I would have to say
it's Israel, because they pretty much were like, yeah, we'll kill.

Speaker 5 (57:25):
You wherever you are. We don't care, and we'll just wait.
We're patient.

Speaker 4 (57:30):
This is the difference between the United States and these
ancient civilizations, and whether or not Israel has only been
around since nineteen forty seven or not, Judaism is an
ancient civilization in itself, regardless of where they are.

Speaker 5 (57:44):
They played the long game.

Speaker 6 (57:46):
We don't.

Speaker 5 (57:47):
We're like, oh wait, we're going to war. It lasts
more than two weeks. I bored, Sorry, check me out,
not interested. We did the ten year thing. We're done
with that. We're finished.

Speaker 4 (57:59):
They're They're like, oh yeah, we'll just plant a bomb
and just wait, just sit there and wait. A lot
of you hit in the text line, Mandy, where do
you think they hit the bomb within the Iranian guesthouse?
Was it designed to look like something else that they
could hide in plain sight? See now, Andy, now you're
thinking like I am. Now I'm thinking like a Bond

(58:19):
movie kind of thing, you know, or a Mission Impossible
type situation. I have this, I have this really hideous
and Jay if you're listening, it's hideous and you know
it hideous ceramic goose at my desk, I call her
Hidelia Quackenshire, and she was given to me by an
intern on his last day.

Speaker 5 (58:38):
He went to goodwill and only got the best for me.

Speaker 4 (58:40):
But that would be like I would hide it in
Hidalia if that was, if that was trying to blow
something up, and I am not to be clear. Now
I'm gonna check Hadelia the next time I go to
my desk, but it would be, you know, some kind
of choski, something really kind of ugly that no one
would actually pick up. Or maybe a fake book in
a bookshelf that would be kind of cool and make
it book nobody really wants to read, Like you know,

(59:03):
the Sun also rises by Ernest Hemingway in Arabic, and
be real, nobody really wants to read that book they
make you in school.

Speaker 5 (59:11):
I am not a fan. I don't love Ernest Hemingway.

Speaker 1 (59:14):
Hi, Mandy.

Speaker 4 (59:14):
The last few days remind me of that last scene
in Godfather Part one where all those guys got whacked
in quick succession. Go Masad. It does kind of feel
like that, doesn't it. It's nuts you can text us
at five six, six nine. Oh, but this again could
be a very dangerous situation. We're gonna have to wait
and see what happens next, but something is definitely going

(59:36):
to happen.

Speaker 7 (59:37):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (59:37):
I forgot to ask Jimmy when he was on because
of our technical issues. Jimmy sangen Burger. He has a
column in the Denver Gazette today about He lays it
out as the Aurora PD and I have not seen
any of their press releases. I'm relying on what Jimmy
said in here. The Aurora PED is downplaying what happened
the other night outside Target, where a thousands of with

(01:00:00):
Venezuelan connections joined to celebrate the destruction of the Maduro regime.
That's not going well, by the way, it's not going
well at all. But the thousands of people that showed
up in a Target parking lot, in the adjacent intersections,

(01:00:21):
they blocked traffic, they fired guns into the air. There's
a police report that says a police car was shot,
not the officer. The car was shot. There were some
reports of violence, but I have not been able to
get any more information on that. But mostly in the
words of CNN a mostly peaceful gathering, but they left

(01:00:42):
mountains of garbage behind, and there's a lot of people
being very critical about the fact.

Speaker 5 (01:00:47):
That the police let it happen.

Speaker 4 (01:00:48):
When we get back, I'm going to tell you why
I think some of that may be a little bit
overblown when I think about the options that the Awa
Police Department really has in that situation.

Speaker 5 (01:00:58):
We'll do that next. So one, I.

Speaker 4 (01:01:01):
Appreciate you in Wyoming telling me that it is raining
in southeast Wyoming, eight miles north of Colorado.

Speaker 5 (01:01:08):
Hope it heads your way. Thank you, Texter.

Speaker 4 (01:01:10):
This text, Hi, Mandy, Let's make it a law that
candidates are not allowed to speak each other's names. The
only thing they can do is talk about themselves and
what they can or will do for America. This would
drastically reduce the divisiveness that used to be my policy
on the radio, and when I'd have a candidate on,
I would ask them not to talk about their opponent.

(01:01:31):
You'd be shocked at how many cannot do that. Impossible. Now,
I want to finish up on the conversation about what
happened in a target parking lot in Aurora where thousands
of people with Venezuelan connections showed up to celebrate the
destruction of the Maduro regime, which ended up not happening.
But a lot of people are saying, look, why are
the police playing it down. That's kind of the point

(01:01:52):
of Jimmy's column, and he makes good points, But for me,
I'm looking at it from this perspective. The Aurora police
were wildly outnumbered. That's thing Number one, just from a
sheer manpower. You're talking about four or five thousand people.
Number two, it was relatively contained. It's not like they
were I guess somebody said they were street racing, but

(01:02:13):
I haven't seen that anywhere. Some of the Texters said
that I haven't seen that anywhere. So it was a
contained event. And the options are to say, look, publicly,
we couldn't do anything because we were hopelessly outmanned. That
sends a very bad message for large gatherings in the future.
And so instead they looked at the situation as contained.

(01:02:34):
It played itself out, and then they said, you know what,
it wasn't that big a deal, because otherwise they have
to admit that they were outmanned in that situation.

Speaker 5 (01:02:43):
So I don't think the.

Speaker 4 (01:02:44):
Aurora PD are in a great position either way, and
I understand the frustration. Let me be clear about that
for people that were either trapped in the store the
store had closed early. It was a real mess for
that evening, But to make it into a lot more
than what I just said, like in a plate full
of bad options, I think they picked the one that

(01:03:06):
they thought was the less bad. But I do think
that being said, apparently they know who organized this. They
have an online presence, and they have people that are
connected to those online presences that.

Speaker 5 (01:03:19):
Did get all these people in one place.

Speaker 4 (01:03:21):
Those people should be held responsible for the cleanup of
that mess that was left behind. Those people should face
whatever penalty you face for having a large gathering without
a permit. I mean, there are ways to send the
message that this is not okay without creating a situation
that either puts police at risk or it puts people
at this event at risk. Mandy, A great way to

(01:03:43):
disperse these mass gatherings would be to dump loads of
water on the mob on the mob from firefighting helicopters
or planes.

Speaker 5 (01:03:49):
Except they're busy right now. They are busy, so we're
not going to do that.

Speaker 4 (01:03:56):
But I don't think there was any good options here,
and I just think that they did the best they
could and that's really all we can expect. Hey, another
tech person, Feng pen Lin. Feng pen Lin is a
one person Army software engineer. Opinions are her own. I
tweet not safe for woke things. Follow at your own risk.

(01:04:18):
She has come out and said she is voting for
Donald Trump. But as I look through her ex page,
nobody's going to be surprised by this. What's surprising is
that so many tech people are now coming out to
admit it and give lengthy explanations of why they're doing it.
If tech moves into the Republican camp for this, that

(01:04:38):
could be a game changer.

Speaker 5 (01:04:40):
We shall see, though, we shall see this.

Speaker 4 (01:04:42):
Texter said, yeah, outmanned because they're the only police force
in the metro area, Aurora Clown Department. You know, I've
had conversations with police officers in certain situations.

Speaker 5 (01:04:54):
When a crowd was.

Speaker 4 (01:04:57):
Larger than they expected but not out of control completely.
They're like, look, do we choose our battles? Do we
go and swing in our billy clubs? Do we bring
in more forces? So a show of force creates a
situation that then spirals into something it's not. These decisions
are made all the time, and I don't blame them,

(01:05:17):
I really don't.

Speaker 3 (01:05:19):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
accident and injury lawyers.

Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
No, it's Mandy Connell and Conall on KLA.

Speaker 7 (01:05:31):
Ninety ONEm God say the nicety.

Speaker 1 (01:05:40):
Many Connell keeping sad thing. Thet's drill at two I
got to go to minute morning rapid fire stories of
the day, that we don't have more time for triplets.
This will take longer than two minutes. Are here's Mandy Connall.

Speaker 5 (01:06:00):
All right, welcome, welcome, welcome to the two minute drill.

Speaker 4 (01:06:02):
Job growth slowed a bit and now just concerns about
a recession are bubbling up.

Speaker 3 (01:06:09):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:06:09):
Concerns about a recession could be coming from two different places,
banks who really want the Fed to lower interest rates.
The Fed is indicated there may be rates coming as
soon as September. But non farm payrolls grew by just
one hundred and fourteen thousand, The unemployment rate ticked up
to four point three that's the highest since October twenty
twenty one, and the markets responded by kind of taking

(01:06:33):
a little bit of a dip. Today the Dow closed
down six hundred. The NASDAC enters correction, and people are
lining up waiting for that FED cut and I'm guessing
that it will come sooner rather than later. A lot
of people are worried that the federal Reserve waited too long,
and now we may be headed into a recession. The
only thing that will determine whether it's a wide U

(01:06:56):
recession or a deep V recession. Down, sharp, up, sharp,
is who's in the White House.

Speaker 5 (01:07:01):
And I genuinely mean that, all right. Next story.

Speaker 4 (01:07:05):
Too, There is a really fascinating substack that I link
to today. It's a group of guys who are doing
a deep dive into the high rates of anxiety and
depression in kids. And their third post is my favorite post,
and it talks about the loss of community for children,
and children today are growing up so different than the

(01:07:25):
way I grew up and the way even older millennials
grew up, where everything is structured.

Speaker 5 (01:07:31):
There's no free play.

Speaker 4 (01:07:32):
They don't play with kids in their neighborhood because they're
being carted across the world to go to activities instead
of sending our kids outside to go find something to do.

Speaker 5 (01:07:40):
And it's created an entire generation of.

Speaker 4 (01:07:43):
Children who don't have social skills, who don't have the
ability to meet and talk with other kids. And I
am so impressed by this article that I told the
queue at our house this school year, it's going to
be Saturday nights with kids in the basement doing things
just like we did back then, in typical Q fashion.
My fifteen year old daughter she said, Mom, when you

(01:08:05):
were young, didn't kids used to hang out behind stores
and smoke cigarettes. And I was like, yes, like that,
only without the cigarettes. That's what we're doing. Next story.

Speaker 10 (01:08:16):
Too.

Speaker 4 (01:08:17):
Speaking of cigarettes, there's really good news about easeiggs. Vaping
has now been shown to be a viable step for
smokers who eventually want to quit. More people quit after
vaping than they do smoking cigarettes, and at this stage
in the game, the number of people who are smoking
cigarettes is far fewer than the people who are vaping now.

(01:08:38):
Of course, nicotine is an addictive substance, and we don't
want kids to start vaping, but vaping so far has
been shown to be less harmful than smoking actual tobacco.
What kills me is that there's this big move across
the country to ban flavored tobacco when this study showed
that people who smoke menthol vape pens are more likely

(01:09:00):
and to quit and quit successfully than people who smoke
tobacco flavored vate pens. And yet those are the ones
that nanny staters like Joe Biden are trying to ban.

Speaker 5 (01:09:11):
So interesting.

Speaker 4 (01:09:12):
I know a lot of people have used VP pens
as kind of a bridge to stop smoking. Whatever works,
whatever helps people stop smoking, we need to encourage it.

Speaker 5 (01:09:20):
Next story.

Speaker 6 (01:09:23):
Too.

Speaker 5 (01:09:24):
Sometimes I put things.

Speaker 4 (01:09:25):
On a blog because I saw it, and I'll be
gosh darned if I'm going to be the only one
to know something so stupid. And I have one of
those things on the blog today. A guy who claims
to be a body language and behavior analysis specialist got
to the bottom of what he calls Trump's bizarre water
bottle behavior at the National Association of Black Journalists conference. Apparently,

(01:09:48):
Donald Trump, who was facing three other women to his left,
reached across the table to take the water bottle that
was intended for one of the women. Now he has
a water bottle to his right, but he's facing left.
That's why he picked up the water bottle. And this
is a thread of twenty five Twitter messages analyzing why

(01:10:10):
Donald Trump took her water bottle instead and what that
means about him as a person. It is the most
absurd bit of ridiculousness I have never Honestly, if you
want to know how much people hate Donald Trump, that
thread will help you.

Speaker 5 (01:10:27):
And finally, I have news in Colorado there is a
new law.

Speaker 4 (01:10:32):
And you know I'm never big on big government, but
the ticket resale industry has done this to themselves. As
of August seventh, the Consumer Protection in Event Ticket Sales
Bill will go into effect and you will have to
see how much you are going to be expected to
pay on the front page of the ticket apps. Now,

(01:10:53):
after what I just went through with stub Hub, this
is a great idea, But what I'd rather do. Does
anybody know how to start a Kickstarter about how to
build a ticket resale out that doesn't gouge its customers
and how much do you think that would cost? Because
I think we the people need to create our own
little version of Craigslist where people can buy and sell
tickets without having to pay two hundred dollars in fees

(01:11:16):
and crap like that.

Speaker 5 (01:11:17):
So that, my friends, is the hill I'm willing to
die on that in Colorado, you.

Speaker 4 (01:11:21):
Should be able to see exactly what you're paying before
you pay it, which leaves only medicine where we don't
get any idea of what we're getting costs until much
later when we're sent ginormous bills. Fantastic, fantastic. So there
you go, coming up next. So a story just popped

(01:11:44):
up on my Twitter that I find very interesting, and
we're going to talk about it next because I need
to read the rest of it. The headline the Biden
administration has temporarily paused it's controversial CCHNV mass parole program
that allows migrants to fly into the US after an
internal report unearthed large amounts of fraud in the program.

Speaker 1 (01:12:10):
Huh huh.

Speaker 4 (01:12:13):
Imagine that people lying to get into the country and
our government flying them here.

Speaker 5 (01:12:21):
Now, I'm just gonna say it, is it?

Speaker 4 (01:12:22):
Is it weird that a program that imported a bunch
of people that were obviously not properly vetted into the
country is now over. Now that Joe Biden isn't the nominee,
I'm just I'm just spitballing. This texter said, is there
a Kamala presidency in our future?

Speaker 7 (01:12:42):
I fear so.

Speaker 4 (01:12:43):
As Trump does everything to make the marginal voters loathe him.
If he can't be reined in, he will lose. I
absolutely agree with this sentiment. And if you think that
can't happen, you truly do not understand the depth of
hatred that people have for Donald Trump. You can always
text us. It's an ask us anything kind of day, Mandy.

(01:13:03):
I had to grow up once toys Rs closed.

Speaker 5 (01:13:06):
Thanks for that.

Speaker 4 (01:13:09):
Smoking, as you know, is just like being fat. All
it takes is a little willpower. You know, that's on
the face of it true. But with smoking you don't
have to do that. You have to eat. I mean
you could argue that both of them require a little willpower.

(01:13:30):
I will say I smoked off and on for about
fifteen years, so I quit smoking probably seven times.

Speaker 5 (01:13:38):
And it's not easy. It's horrible. It's hard, it's really challenging.

Speaker 4 (01:13:41):
I mean, once I quit for good good I haven't
even thought about it since then, and that's been decades now.
But quitting tobacco is really hard. Quitting sugar is really hard.
I've discovered something in the soda program. Not to do
a soda ad right here, because that's not what this
is about. One of the things that I discovered is
if you to lose weight, If you want to lose weight,

(01:14:03):
you have to cut out all added sugar. If you
just cut out all added sugar, then your appetite drops
most for most people. There are some people who's the
fullness chemical is so disrupted that hormone grayln is so
disrupted that it doesn't necessarily work like this. But if
you cut out all added sugar, your appetite will get smaller,

(01:14:23):
and then you can really focus on cleaning up the
rest of your diet. It's amazing, absolutely amazing, and you'll
feel amazing. Anton, my former FedEx driver whose route got
changed much to my Chagarin, said that already exists and
it's called tickpicks tipic.

Speaker 5 (01:14:39):
Is it tickpic dot com. I'm gonna have to look
into that. We'll do that next.

Speaker 4 (01:14:43):
This weekend, a Bronco great, Randy Gratishar headed into the
Hall of Fame gonna get his gold jacket.

Speaker 5 (01:14:50):
And Randy Gratishar was.

Speaker 4 (01:14:52):
Part of the team before they actually kept official statistics,
and I mean the NFL when it came to sacks
and so kind of a really cool thing.

Speaker 5 (01:15:02):
Now, Coover, you've been working in sports in this town
for a long time. Have you had a chance.

Speaker 4 (01:15:06):
I've never met Randy Gratishar. I've just never been in
the same place he's been in. So what kind of
fellow is he?

Speaker 9 (01:15:11):
He is a very nice fellow. He's one of the
nicest people that you will ever meet. He is very humble,
and that's why it's so great that he's finally getting in,
as he waited for so long. He was on that
famous Orange Crush defense.

Speaker 5 (01:15:24):
Yeah, is he the last one, kind of of the
greats of that team to get in.

Speaker 9 (01:15:30):
I think there are a couple of other guys out
there that are still waiting to get in, but he
was kind of Uh, he's definitely been waiting quite some time,
and it's great that he's finally getting in. BK our
own BK is going up to Canton, so he'll be
there all weekend. Just like a Rod was up there
for Todd Elton, BK is up there for Randy, and
he'll be giving us all the reports that going on

(01:15:51):
from the goings on this weekend starting today.

Speaker 4 (01:15:54):
You know, even if you've won super Bowls and you've
been at the height of you know, of your career
and you play on great teams. I have never met
a guy who was a great NFL player who did
not want this honor. This is super special and as
any Hall of Fame is. But he has two forty
nine career tackles unofficially. So this is one of those

(01:16:15):
things that an evolution in football that I never noticed, Like,
I don't remember a time when we weren't talking about
tackles and sacks and things of that nature. Now granted,
I mean he played between nineteen seventy four and nineteen
eighty three when I was literally a child, right, So,
but it's funny the things that we pay attention to
now and now they have all these super weird statistics
that I mentioned.

Speaker 5 (01:16:35):
I hear someone use an acronym now and I'm like,
what is that?

Speaker 4 (01:16:37):
And it's some bizarro world like like yards forward after
a backwards path. I mean, it's just they drill it
down the numbers. There's too many numbers.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
Formcouver, there are too many numbers.

Speaker 6 (01:16:50):
I agree with you there.

Speaker 2 (01:16:51):
And now we got the new kickoff.

Speaker 9 (01:16:52):
I don't know if you watched any of the game
last night, now you get to watch the new kickoff rule.

Speaker 5 (01:16:56):
What's the new kickoff rule?

Speaker 9 (01:16:58):
Well, basically you if they penalize you for well like
last year, you basically kicked the ball out of the
back of the end zone.

Speaker 2 (01:17:04):
The other team got the ball at the twenty five.
They want to eliminate that.

Speaker 9 (01:17:07):
So last night you had eight kickoffs, seven of them
were returned.

Speaker 2 (01:17:14):
Because you have to put it. You can't kick it
in the end zone. Yeah, I got to try to
kick it.

Speaker 9 (01:17:18):
In between like the ten and the goal line, right,
and then the other team returns it. And it's funky
the way that they set up now.

Speaker 5 (01:17:26):
But wait a bitte, what if it goes into the
end zone.

Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
Then I think it comes out to like the thirty five.

Speaker 4 (01:17:31):
Oh, so you're incentivized not to get it into the
end zone exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:17:36):
Holy cow, Holy cow.

Speaker 4 (01:17:40):
That's I don't I mean, I guess it's gonna make
the game more exciting. You know, you're not just gonna
have the automatic Oh he's.

Speaker 5 (01:17:46):
Gonna kick it in the en zone.

Speaker 4 (01:17:47):
Now we're gonna come out on the twenty or whatever
it will. I mean, but it is somebody gonna get
hurt because you're playing almost on a shorter field, aren't
you at that point?

Speaker 9 (01:17:54):
Yeah, pretty much the way that they lined up last
night is the kickoff team was basically ten yards in
front of the receiving team, and basically there was kind
of like a just a massive bodies and basically you're
gonna see you're gonna see some kickoff returns this year
for touchdowns.

Speaker 2 (01:18:13):
There's no doubt about that.

Speaker 4 (01:18:15):
So basically, now hitting it long is not an incentive
unless you're kicking a field goal. So now it's gonna
be definitely about placement. You're gonna have to get these
guys that can kick and drop it exactly where they.

Speaker 9 (01:18:25):
Need it for sure, there's no doubt about that. And
then there's also been talk of maybe having a regular
player kickoff so that way because as we as as
I mentioned, there's this massive bodies there and if you
break through that, the kicker is not going to be
able to stop that guy. So there's been talk that
maybe you put back there like a defensive back and

(01:18:47):
have him kickoff.

Speaker 5 (01:18:48):
The linebacker.

Speaker 2 (01:18:49):
Yeah, that can actually tackle the dude if you're right.

Speaker 5 (01:18:52):
Gosh, I don't know, I'm intrigued. I'm intrigued.

Speaker 4 (01:18:55):
I generally don't watch preseason football because I spend the
whole time the second.

Speaker 5 (01:18:58):
Half of the game going who is that?

Speaker 1 (01:19:00):
Who is who is that?

Speaker 4 (01:19:01):
Because I've never heard of any of the people that
are in there for the third and fourth quarter. So
but I'm now going to have to watch Mandy. I
did not like the new kicking rules as this Texter.
I feel like there's a doctor Seusserhime in that somewhere.

Speaker 5 (01:19:13):
I'll work on that.

Speaker 4 (01:19:17):
I got an interesting question and I thought I would
put it to you guys, because I think it's an
interesting thing to think about, and that is Mandy, how
do recently retired singles that haven't traveled in their life
get started? I'm going to answer that question, and I'm
going to ask a question in the meantime because I
asked him, where are the two places you've always wanted

(01:19:39):
to go? We're going to talk about that next. We've
got news, traffic, and weather last night. Went to the
show of the week coming up next. Now, people who
haven't been to the Dairy Block don't know that this
is like the most delightful little sliver of magic, the
alley where Blanchard Family Wines and so many other businesses
have set up shop. It is the most European feeling

(01:20:02):
place in Denver, Colorado. I think it feels like you're
walking down an alley in Europe. What o their businesses
are there, and tell people how this works. We've never
really talked about the logistics of how this process works.

Speaker 12 (01:20:14):
Well, thanks for saying that, because I'm sure you hear
a lot of people talk about not wanting to go
to downtown Denver, not going to Loto anymore, and all
that comes along with that. When you're in the middle
of the Dairy Block, you don't feel like you're in
downtown Denver at all, Like you said, you feel like
you're in a little European village somewhere. So the Dairy
Block is right downtown your course field, and there's this
beautiful alleyway that cuts through the middle of it. It's
got murals everywhere, it's activated, it's lit up, we music,

(01:20:38):
and a lot of the businesses open up to this alleyway,
including us, where our patios are all kind of centrally located.

Speaker 13 (01:20:43):
In this alleyway.

Speaker 12 (01:20:44):
So it really creates a unique feel down there. Some
of the other restaurants and bars down there. You've got Bruto,
which was one of.

Speaker 13 (01:20:51):
Our Chelun Star restaurants at Denver earned last year there.

Speaker 12 (01:20:54):
Right there, you've got the milk market, Polkalola, seven Grand,
Kachina restaurant, restaurant, you've got restbound and down. They've got
a tap room, their deviation to stilling. You've got so
many different options right in this little alleyway. It's fantastic.

Speaker 4 (01:21:10):
So when people come to the wine walk, what can
they expect? How many vineyards do you have represented? Can
they talk to the vintnors and the winemakers?

Speaker 8 (01:21:19):
What is that like?

Speaker 13 (01:21:20):
Yeah, we try to run our wine fest a little
bit differently.

Speaker 12 (01:21:23):
I mean, there's so many wine fest in Colorado, but
we find that they are giging in at two, three, four,
five thousand people. These festivals, you've got a line a
half an hour long and to go taste an ounce
of wine. So we'd like to run a little bit
more personal, a little bit more intimate. We bring in
twelve wineries. They're all Colorado winery, some of our favorite
wineries that we pick here in Colorado. We've got a
waiting list every year of wineries that want to get
into this festival, and we'll keep the attendance around four hundred,

(01:21:45):
four hundred and fifty people so that you actually do
get to interact with each winery, talk to the winemakers,
sit there and sample a bunch of different wines. It's
a little bit more relaxed environment. Like it's at night,
so hot out right now, So think we're doing a
wine festival in August. It's going to be ninety degrees out. No,
it doesn't start till seven o'clock at night, so we're
doing it under the lights. We're gonna have live music,

(01:22:05):
and it just makes a really fun Saturday night out,
something different than just.

Speaker 13 (01:22:09):
Heading to the bars for the night.

Speaker 4 (01:22:10):
Well, you not only have the wine walk, you also
have a brunch the next day, right, Did I see that?
Like a brunch walk.

Speaker 13 (01:22:15):
We we're gonna do a little Sunday brunch the next morning.
You know, nothing like a little hair of the dog.

Speaker 12 (01:22:18):
You go over your one, right. So we've got a
few of our favorite wineries brands. He's Sparkly Wine as
well as one of bars. We've got a fantastic hater
from Southern Gore.

Speaker 8 (01:22:27):
Mate.

Speaker 6 (01:22:27):
It's going to come in and do a little brunch.

Speaker 13 (01:22:29):
For us right in our patio in the dairy walk.

Speaker 4 (01:22:31):
Is that going to be for the full just just
at Lantern Family Wines that's the brunch.

Speaker 13 (01:22:36):
Yeah, we'll just be hosting it in our space.

Speaker 12 (01:22:38):
Okay, okay, but it's again a fantastic way.

Speaker 13 (01:22:42):
If you can't make it to the fest on a.

Speaker 12 (01:22:44):
Saturday night and you still want to experience in Colorado
wine and experience a dairy blok, it's another option.

Speaker 13 (01:22:49):
Or if you're guys, do a staycation of it.

Speaker 12 (01:22:52):
Come down Saturday night, go to the wine fest, spend
the night in one of the great hotels downtown, and
come out to runch next morning.

Speaker 5 (01:22:57):
All right, what date is this, James, This is August.

Speaker 12 (01:23:00):
Twenty fourth for the winefest itself, August twenty fifth to
the brunch, and like I said, it's seven to ten
at night. We do have a VIP hour on the
first hour from six to seven, so you can get
in before the crowds.

Speaker 13 (01:23:12):
I'm getting in more of that one on one time
for the first hour.

Speaker 5 (01:23:14):
And ticket prices.

Speaker 12 (01:23:16):
Fifty dollars a ticket. And you're going to get your glass,
your commemorative glass with Wine Walk logo. You're going to
get your wristband, be able to taste everything there. We'll
have food vendors, like I said, live music. I'm all
included and obviously.

Speaker 13 (01:23:28):
You get the opportunity to purchase as well.

Speaker 12 (01:23:30):
This is another great thing about our wine fest is
that I don't want to just be able to go
taste all these Colorado wines and then say, hey, where
do I go get them? Do I go to the
liquor store? Do I go at a restaurant? Do I
have to go out to a palisade? All the wine
celeb right there?

Speaker 11 (01:23:43):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:23:43):
Excellent.

Speaker 4 (01:23:43):
So if you want to buy wine, you can do
that at the event. That's fantastic, James. I appreciate you
making time. You should go down see blanch Or Family
Wines even if you're not going to the wine walk.
But the wine walk is a wonderful evening. Get some friends,
go have a nice time. It will be lovely. James,
I hope you have an excellent whinwalker. We'll talk to
you again before the next one.

Speaker 6 (01:24:03):
Thank you. We'll see you at the next Colorado Thanks James.

Speaker 5 (01:24:06):
That's James Lanchard from Blanchard Family Wines.

Speaker 6 (01:24:08):
Really really good.

Speaker 7 (01:24:09):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:24:09):
I wanted to get back to the question that I
got on the blog from a guy who said, and
I know he's a guy because I asked. He said,
how is a newly retired single person who's never traveled
in their life get started.

Speaker 5 (01:24:21):
And I want to answer this question because I think
it's a really good question.

Speaker 4 (01:24:24):
A single traveler provides unique challenges, Like on the Mandy
Connell Adventures, we're doing one to South Korea and Japan.
We have a very limited number of spots for single
travelers because accommodations are an issue. Cruise ship cabins are
an issue, but more and more cruise ships are starting
to have single cabins. They're building ships with single cabins.

(01:24:47):
But that being said, there are so many travel groups online,
a reputable travel groups that do these trips specifically for
single people. And I would always recommend if you're not
sure about traveling, if you're a little bit nervous, because
it can be very intimidating, especially going to a foreign country.
So if you're going to a foreign country, especially being

(01:25:10):
in a group where you have a guide and you
can hang out with other people, it can provide a
little bit of security as you get your traveling legs
under you. He did text me back and said, I've
always wanted to go to Sweden and Switzerland their tops
on the bucket list.

Speaker 5 (01:25:24):
Also New Zealand.

Speaker 4 (01:25:27):
Now I just went to Switzerland, so I have great news.
Everyone speaks English. It is not at all difficult to
get by in Switzerland with no French, German or Italian
because they speak all of those in different parts of Switzerland.
And if you want to go by yourself, the easiest
way to travel by yourself is this, figure out where

(01:25:48):
you want to stay. If you don't know, start looking
on the internet. Where should I go in Switzerland depending
on the time of the year or wherever your nation is.
You start googling that. You figure out where you want
to go, and then you book yourself a hotel where,
book yourself some flights, give yourself some grace.

Speaker 5 (01:26:03):
I would say this if you're flying to Europe for
the first time.

Speaker 4 (01:26:05):
Don't think, oh, I'll hop on the train when I
get there and find my way to the hotel. Pay
for transportation. You're gonna be tired and you're not gonna
know where you're going. Okay, pay for transportation, Get on
the train the next day, figure out the trains the
next day.

Speaker 5 (01:26:21):
Trains in Europe are very easy, but don't be afraid.

Speaker 4 (01:26:24):
Don't be held back, and once you get there, traveling
by yourself, something I've done multiple times, many many, many times.
I don't mind traveling by myself because when I was
a flight attendant, I learned how to travel by myself.
If you want to talk to people and be around people,
find a pub to find. Even if you're not a
big drinker, right, just find a pub. You're gonna be people,

(01:26:45):
You're gonna talk to people. Ask where the expats live.
If you're not comfortable trying to communicate with people that
you might think might not speak the language, find the
expat community. Every country has them, and in that area,
the bars the restaurants are gonna be geared towards Americans,
But you're also not going to get the same cultural
experience as you'd get by traveling by yourself. But strongly

(01:27:07):
recommend traveling with a group the first few times. Maybe
you want to go to Japan with us, Maybe you
want to go to South Korea. That's the next Mandy
Connell adventure. I know we do have single slots, but
I don't know how.

Speaker 5 (01:27:16):
Many of them we have.

Speaker 4 (01:27:18):
But the other thing is travel somebody who's in a
similar situation. Find somebody who's in a similar situation that
you are, and travel with them.

Speaker 5 (01:27:26):
It could be a dude, it could be a woman.
It doesn't matter. Now you'll know after the first trip
if you want to ever travel with them again.

Speaker 4 (01:27:34):
But there's a lot of different ways. Just don't let
fear hold you back. Don't let the fear of the
unknown be the reason that you come up with a
million excuses not to do this. We get one spin
on the big blue marble, people one, make the most
of it.

Speaker 5 (01:27:51):
Do the things. If you can afford it and you
want to go, there's nothing stopping you. Nothing.

Speaker 4 (01:28:00):
I would start, by the way, with Sweden or Switzerland
because they're closer. In New Zealand is like a whole
day of travel, I mean a day on an airplane.
So you don't want to make that your first big experience. Mandy,
When when are you and Ross going to have another
get together? Since you said there were single ladies there,
you know, I've got to make this. I've got to
make a single meetup happen somehow. Oh, it's pouring in

(01:28:23):
Castle Rock.

Speaker 5 (01:28:24):
Excellent. I love that we're now getting rain updates on
the uh.

Speaker 4 (01:28:31):
Mandy, I don't think I will ever understand why any
human being will start a fire willingly It destroys more
than property, more than natural setting.

Speaker 5 (01:28:39):
It takes away life.

Speaker 4 (01:28:40):
It's joy and right down to the human factor, the
loss of life and surviving people in their homes. There's
no excuse for such thoughtlessness towards humanity. I agree one
hundred percent. Single travel says this Texter join the Army.
Work for me, first duty station, Germany. Well, since this
man is a new retiree, he might not be the
best choice for the army. I have eight more minutes, Dave,

(01:29:06):
I have eight more minutes. Okay, here's the backstory on this.
Chuck turned sixty on July ninth, and Chuck always plans
parties for everybody else.

Speaker 5 (01:29:15):
So this year, I said, we're having a bar and
burner for you.

Speaker 4 (01:29:19):
We decided to do this, and then he immediately took
over the planning of his own party, because that's how
he is, and he's a control freak. But yesterday and
today people are flying in from all over the country
to celebrate Chuck's birthday. We're having a big party with
our friends tomorrow night. And now they're all arriving and
they're popping their heads into my studio and saying, hey, look,
I got eight more minutes, eight more minutes, eight more minutes.

(01:29:42):
We should all be so blessed as my husband that
when we started making this guest list and he's putting
it together, and I was like, you're inviting them because
we hadn't seen him in thirteen years.

Speaker 5 (01:29:51):
And we did, and they came.

Speaker 4 (01:29:54):
There are so many people from all over the country.
I cannot wait, Mandy. One thing to do, back to
our topic on the schizophrenica at last segment, One easy
thing is to start local travel alone somewhere in the US.
Learn how to get around when you're comfortable, then go abroad.
That is an excellent point. If you haven't been everywhere
in the United States, do that. There are so many

(01:30:15):
cool places in the United States that I still haven't been.
Chuck and I were talking about this for my birthday
this year. By the way, some of you asked he
got me a weekend trip. He's like, look, you we'll
figure out.

Speaker 5 (01:30:26):
We'll do it in the fall. We'll go on a
weekend trip. Where should we go?

Speaker 4 (01:30:29):
So we kicked around a bunch of ideas. The Upper
Peninsula of Michigan. I've never been there. I want to
go there. I want to go back to San Antonio, Texas.
I haven't been there in thirty years, but it was
really cool and we had a really good time. So
there are a lot of places in the United States,
but traveling alone just getting over that, there are a
lot of upsides to traveling alone. Have you ever been

(01:30:50):
with people and you wake up, like on the fourth
day of your vacation and you have fourteen thousand places
that you have to go, and all you want to
do is sleep in for like another four hours and
then have a leisurely lunch and then maybe take an
app When.

Speaker 5 (01:31:02):
You travel alone, you can do all of those things.

Speaker 4 (01:31:05):
What's your favorite place to take jinks outside of your
normal walk? Okay, So my six year old Saint Bernard,
she's going to be six on August thirteenth. I let
her choose our adventure every day. Now we stop at
intersections and I look at her and go, which way
do you want to go? And she picks which direction
we go, and you think that she would pick the

(01:31:27):
same one, but that she doesn't and at all, And
so now we play choose your own adventure. So we've
even done some stuff that I haven't done in my
own neighborhood. We take her I don't take her as
often as I used to because she gets hot, and
if she decides not to walk, like if we're hiking,

(01:31:49):
we have to stop. When you have a dog that
weighs one hundred and fifty five pounds, you just you
have to stop. And I don't like to stop. I
don't like to be forced to stop. So there you go, Mandy,
seventeen year old marriage update. I saw this yesterday. I
talked about it earlier in the show that this was
the seventeen year old who knocked up a Was she
thirty seven? Thirty eight year old? They were married thirty years,

(01:32:14):
had two more kids, she passed away. Wow, so he's
a forty seven year old widower. That must have been wild.
I did thirteen countries in Europe over three and a
half months alone in two thousand. Easy peasy, if you
plan well, it's really dialed in over in Europe. Yes, correct, correct, correct, Mandy,

(01:32:40):
I don't I know this isn't pertinent to the conversation.

Speaker 5 (01:32:42):
Well, we're just doing everything right now.

Speaker 4 (01:32:44):
But I was wondering if they're dropping water on the
Jeffco fire with those water scooping planes.

Speaker 5 (01:32:49):
I'm the one asking about water scooping planes.

Speaker 4 (01:32:51):
I was wondering because I was gonna go visit Chatfield
to watch the planes scoop water tomorrow morning on my
day off.

Speaker 5 (01:32:57):
Not sure if you know, I'm just wondering. I believe so,
I mean, I.

Speaker 4 (01:33:02):
Know that I've heard a report from Rob Dawson at
Chatfield and he was talking about the planes scooping up water.

Speaker 5 (01:33:10):
So I'm assuming.

Speaker 1 (01:33:11):
I mean, that's the.

Speaker 4 (01:33:11):
Biggest space in that area, close to space to get water,
So yeah, I would assume.

Speaker 5 (01:33:17):
So, yeah, that might be an interesting thing to do tomorrow.
Maybe maybe looking looking looking.

Speaker 4 (01:33:27):
One last text message, UM, take your dog to Coal
Mine Avenue Brewery in Littleton. They've got an off leash
large dog run and there's lots of dogs and people
enjoy craft beer.

Speaker 5 (01:33:39):
Check it out.

Speaker 4 (01:33:39):
Okay, there's a difference between a large dog and a
giant breed dog. And when my dog starts to run
at another dog playing and hits the other dog, the
other dog goes flying.

Speaker 5 (01:33:54):
Big dogs go flying.

Speaker 4 (01:33:57):
So if it's just like her and a bunch of
Labrador retrievers, somebody's getting hurt. And I just don't feel
good about that. Oh, somebody just said I'm on your
wait list for singles. Loder Brun in Switzerland fantastic if
you like hiking. I loved everything about Switzerland, probably one
of them actually right now, it is my favorite place

different experiences, but Switzerland was just magnificent.

Speaker 5 (01:34:24):

and twenty pounds Saint Pyrenees.

Speaker 5 (01:34:31):

Speaker 4 (01:34:32):
When she's done, we're done, she gets hot, and it's
all about the attitude, attitude or all.

Speaker 5 (01:34:36):
Yeah, it's attitude, attitude. Yes, they are.

Speaker 4 (01:34:40):
Scooping Texter Chatfield is closed to the public because they
are scooping, so you could probably drive over in the area.
But no, oh wait, no plains on. No more planes
on Chatfield. The lake is now open a voting.

Speaker 5 (01:34:58):
That's a oh, we go, yes.

Speaker 4 (01:35:00):
Many Okay, now wait, I'm getting conflicting reports. I would
call or look on Chatfield's website or a Facebook page
to see the status before you go over there.

Speaker 5 (01:35:10):
I do not know, Mandy. I got to spend a
month traveling.

Speaker 4 (01:35:14):
Through Western Europe with my brother and his wife, who
were both in the air force pretty easy to find something,
a place to stay. Well, there's lots of places to stay.
But you know, I'm telling you, when you get older,
like I could have stayed in a youth hostel when
I was nineteen, The thought of that now is horrifying.
I'm in the fancy hotel phase of my life and

(01:35:35):
I make no apologies.

Speaker 6 (01:35:37):
None.

Speaker 4 (01:35:40):
Now, this person says, Mandy, Yes, Chatfield is closed to boats,
so the planes can fill spent yesterday evening watching. But
now I have other people saying no, they're not scooping.

Speaker 1 (01:35:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:35:50):
I don't know the answer to that. I do not
know the answer to that.

Speaker 4 (01:35:55):
Somebody been to over ninety countries Antarctica is epic. I
should sit down and count up all the countries I've
been to. It might take me a minute because some
of them I don't remember all that well, I'm gonna
have to find out. I'm gonna find my number. You know,
people add up the number of the people that they've
slept with. Forget that how many countries have been to?
But over ninety country person, how many states have you

(01:36:17):
been to? Huh, you've been to all fifty because your
girl here has some of them for only like seven hours,
but I've been there.

Speaker 5 (01:36:25):
I'm counting it.

Speaker 4 (01:36:27):
Ryan Edwards has been there too, And I mean the
School of Hard Knocks. No, I'm just kidding, is a
training camp. I'm just smooth segue.

Speaker 5 (01:36:34):

Speaker 1 (01:36:36):
It's good.

Speaker 10 (01:36:36):
And I stayed in the hostel too, and now here
at forty four that that sounds impossible to me.

Speaker 5 (01:36:41):
No, it sounds horrible.

Speaker 4 (01:36:43):
It sounds like punishment, like, oh, why don't you just
arrest me and put me in your little jail instead.

Speaker 10 (01:36:47):
And even at the time that I did it, I
was kind of like, yeah, this is something you do
in your twenties and it makes sense. But again, you know,
you get on the other side of there, like, man,
there was so many things that could have gone wrong
with that.

Speaker 2 (01:36:57):
What was I thinking?

Speaker 4 (01:36:58):
I gotta tell you you, I did not sleep at
all in the Hospel because I'm a light sleeper and
I had ear plugs in. But then I was so
paranoid that somebody was going to steal my stuff that
I didn't sleep. And I went up the next day
and I was like, I'm getting a hotel and I
found I found a hotel for like twenty dollars.

Speaker 7 (01:37:16):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (01:37:17):
It's not like you have to spend a lot of
money at that time. Now, of course you do.

Speaker 2 (01:37:21):
It's exactly the same experience.

Speaker 4 (01:37:22):
