Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and injury Lawyers.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
No, it's Mandy Connell.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Now, Bubby, that is it's a maggin bry.

Speaker 4 (00:23):
She's getting to get fared.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Welcome to the man.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
Come, I'll come through a door calling we crashed into
each other.

Speaker 5 (00:34):
How funny.

Speaker 4 (00:36):
This is one of the songs our friend Ross made
for me, not Ross Kaminski. Although I do want to
I want to leap frog. Did you hear the interview
Ross just had with Cat Rosenfeld from The Free Press
And they are they're doing a series on the Free
Press which has been really really good, and it's the
FP dot com And if you don't subscribe, you should,
you really should because it's that entertaining. And they're doing

(00:57):
a series called What School Didn't Teach You, which has been.

Speaker 5 (01:02):
Very very interesting.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
But then Kat decided to write about drinking and that
perhaps gen Z needs to loosen up, have a couple.

Speaker 5 (01:11):
Of beers and learn to be social.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
And she's kind of got a point, but it got
me to thinking, Arod, have you ever done something stupid
when you were drinking?

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (01:21):
Never, I'm going to say is one word I'm not
going to expand upon it, So don't ask one word watermelon.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Wow, there's so much that could go wrong with a watermelon.

Speaker 5 (01:32):
Correct, So.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
Well, my imagination goes bad places a rod very bad,
Like did you drop a watermelon off of an overpass
and kill someone in a passing car?

Speaker 6 (01:43):
Well, no one died, that's fine. Well I answer that question.
But but yes, of course, who hasn't I have.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Done more than my fair share of stupid things when
I was intoxicates. One of the reasons that I severely
curtailed my drinking years ago, where I just got to
the two's my limit stage of life. And now now
my body just won't properly metabolize alcohol and it just
makes me feel awful. So I am pretty much a

(02:11):
non drinker. I did like, I had a cocktail. I
had a martini when we went to the steakhouse and
that was delightful. Oh.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
I did have a few at Carrio.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
What was I drinking?

Speaker 5 (02:20):
I was drinking beer.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
I was drinking the high life at karaoke because it
was a classy bar, so Miller high life was the
high dollar beer. But it's like I started thinking about this,
and I know people don't want to admit it, but
I thought maybe it'd be fun to ask our Texters
before we do the blog, what are some of the
dumbest things you've ever done while drinking? And I've been

(02:43):
thinking about I've got a few. I got a couple
one night. This is just a little window in the world. So, okay, Florida.
You know what Florida looks like. It is a peninsula
correct goes straight down. So you have east coast and
west coast in Florida. And I was in Tampa with
a bunch of friends, and thank god, one of us
was pregnant, not me, So we had one sober person

(03:06):
in this group of people, and we watched the sun
go down and we're like, ooh, this is beautiful because
it's in the west, right, you get to watch the
sun go down behind the horizon over the.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
Gulf of Mexico. It's just beautiful. And then we commenced
to drinking, and then at like.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
Ten o'clock, we decided it would be cool if we
just drove across.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
The state and watch the sun rise. So we did.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
We woke up the pregnant woman and made her drive
us from Tampa across the state to Newsmerta Beach, Florida,
where we watched the sunrise come up and then we
realized we got to drive back. Now, not the smartest
thing I ever did. That was actually kind of fun, though.

Speaker 7 (03:48):
You know.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
The thing is is to the point that Cat is
trying to make some of the most just outrageously fun
evenings I have had in my life. We're the guid
where you go somebody calls and goes, hey, we're going
a happy hour, and you're like, ah, you know, I
got stuff to do. I'm you know, I'm not And
they're like, no, come on, we're just going for a
happy hour. We're gonna be there for like a couple
hours and then we're gonna come.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
Home with no big deal.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
You'd be home by nine and then literally it's four
pm to four am kind of night. Or you just
keep running into people that you know, and then you
end up at somebody's house for a party, and then
you find out there's another party somewhere else, and you
just I mean, those were some of the greatest nights
of my life. And had I not been drinking or
in that social environment, they wouldn't have happened, you know,

(04:32):
And so yeah, I think there's some truth to like
this younger generation for really good reasons, really good reasons,
are really uptight.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
But whether they have seen.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
What alcoholism and alcohol can do to their family members,
or they have fear, justifiably that if they do something stupid,
it's gonna end up on the Internet forever and then
future employers will find out, or they're afraid that something
is going to happen, like they're going to get in
a car with someone drinking and you're all gonna die,
which is a legit concern, But at the same time,

(05:08):
these kids don't know how to socialize.

Speaker 5 (05:10):
They don't know how to have a conversation with each other.
They don't know how.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
To get together and just talk about crap and argue
for three hours about whether or not Superman could beat
up Batman and why, although we all know Superman would
totally win that fight. I mean, come on, Batman just
has tools. He's just a dude in a costume. Superman
has powers. But I mean all of those inane, rambling

(05:35):
conversations that you had with your friends in the middle
of the night, in our case, sitting out on our
patio that we had we had a carport and we
took lattice and we boxed in the front of the
car port and made that our porch, and we had
couches out there. It was fantastic, and we'd sit out
there till all hours of the night. Thank god. Our
next door neighbor was like one hundred and she was

(05:57):
deaf as a post, so she never heard anything. But
I relish those memories, and I do not think they
would have happened without social lubrication that alcohol provided.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
So I'm just curious.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
You don't have to. I won't out you on the air,
as you know, I won't read your phone number, but
oh my god, they're already coming in. Okay, let's do
the blog and we'll read some of these. You can
text us at five six six nine ozer dumbest thing
you ever did when you were drinking. Just go ahead
and text us hilarious anyway.

Speaker 6 (06:29):
And who knows, for all the ones that you remember
might be something you don't even know of that were
epic and awesome.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Well, I've never had I've never been blackout drunk ever,
never been blackout drunk. I remember every sometimes, to my
great shame, I remember every.

Speaker 5 (06:42):
Single detail, every single detail of the night before.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Yes, I've never not remembered things other than the fact
I had two beers at Alice's bar. Yeah, but I
was not intoxicated in any stretch of the imagination.

Speaker 6 (06:57):
I wouldn't even say that I've ever been blackout, but
to the point where like details are like I don't
remember everything, there's some stuff missing there.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
Well, maybe the same, Maybe I just think maybe I'm
overly confident.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
I don't know, correct, But I've never been blackout.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
I've never woken up in the morning and not known
what happened in some.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
Rough form the night before.

Speaker 6 (07:17):
Correct, And I never even contemplate getting anywhere near there
unless I'm in like the safe place with safe people.
Like I've never put myself in that situation where like
anything could happen.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
I could wind up anywhere.

Speaker 6 (07:31):
It's gonna typically be at a trusted friend's house or
at our house. Don to go anywhere we're close by,
Like it's never been out at bars or far away
or like on trips or anything like that.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
I have a I have a built in governor when
it comes to alcohol is that I will get to
a certain point of drunk and then I'm gonna puke.
It's going to happen. I am going to puke. So
I don't do shots ever, never ever, ever. Shots go down,
shots come back up, and they have I would like
twenty Oh yeah, Oh, here's a fun story. I was

(08:04):
at a fraternity party in college and the fraternity had
made these ice ramps, you know, like a ramp of ice,
and one had a shot of vodka.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
One had a shot of Yeager Myster. I hate Yaeger Myster.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
It's discussing. Oh, it's disgusting. So I I positioned myself.
If you've ever done a shot off of an ice luge,
you're at the bottom right, there's nowhere to go once
the shot is on its way without wearing the whole thing.
And one of the guys I thought it would be
really funny to start with vodka and then follow with Yegermeister.
Immediately I do the shot, I get up. I look

(08:39):
at my friend and said, where is his room? And
I went and I threw up on his bed. I
bet he doesn't do that again. I bet he doesn't.

Speaker 7 (08:49):
No.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
I think if you are a blackout drunk, that is
a situation that needs to be addressed with professional health.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
Period.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (08:57):
I would agree.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
A friend of mine got blackout drunk, so blackout drunk
that he enlisted in the military the next day because.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
He got scared.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
Oh okay, you scare Oh no, blackout for like three
days and he got scared and was like, Okay, I'm
gonna die if I keep doing this, and so he
went and listened to the military.

Speaker 5 (09:15):
So here you go.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
Anyway, let's do the blog real quick, and then I'll
come and read some of these because some of them
are already hilarious. I love you people so much for
being willing to throw yourselves under the bus like you.
Oh my god, there is a little okay, I have
to open up a bigger window. There's so many a
rod of people throwing themselves under the bus from that

(09:39):
time they got drunk that one time with their friends.
So let's do that right now. Let's go to the
blog at mandy'sblog dot com. Look for the latest post section,

Trump reminds people Kamala has already been on the job

(11:14):
the blog at mandy'sblog dot com. And I'm gonna be
perfectly honest you guys. I got up today my normal time.
I was working on my blog. I was doing myself.
There's no news out there that I loved. Sometimes there
are stories that I see that I'm like, oh my god,
I love this story.

Speaker 5 (11:30):
I can't wait to talk about it.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
Today I'm like, eh, And don't get me wrong, we
have a show. I found enough stuff. But it's that
kind of the dog days of summer a little bit.
Kids are back in school, Labor Day weekends coming up.
Everybody sort of mentally checked out. So that is why
I'm about to read a bunch of text messages sent
to our Common Spirit health text line about the dumbest
things people ever did when they got drunk. So let's

(11:55):
start at the bottom here. Oh geez, oh wait, that's
not what I needed to see.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
I need more.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
So we're over fifty of these text messages already, a rod,
And I'm just gonna let you know. People are thinking
the worst things possible about you and the watermelon. You
need to probably clarify.

Speaker 6 (12:15):
No, no, for all the imagination, please give me the
worst one you're reading that you can say on it.
So I need to say the obvious of what it
Wasn't you sick people?

Speaker 4 (12:30):
Yes, you probably if you just said that it wasn't
the thing. It wasn't that, it wasn't that, it wasn't
like the pie in American pot. No okay, no, no,
I'm saying that's what people are saying.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
No, no, no, just throwing that out there. Oh no, no, no, no,
no no you.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
Okay, No. Here are what our textures have done while
they're drunk. Drove and misplaced my car, car surfing, drinking,
ruined my life and I am now sober, feel great
and happy.

Speaker 5 (12:57):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
That's why this is a bad idea, Mandy, After hearing
that interview that that lady did with Ross, would you
want the queue to take what she was selling the
reporter to heart when she goes to college.

Speaker 5 (13:08):
You know, that's funny. We talk about that with Q
all the time.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
And she's seen people who have been drinking to excess,
and she has seen people kind of social drinking like me.
I mean, Chuck is not a big drinker at all.
He usually doesn't drink at all. He did all of
his drinking earlier, and so when we go to dinner,
I'll have a cocktail sometimes not really anymore, but she
would see me have one drink, and I'm trying to

(13:32):
model that behavior, like, Okay, this is the responsible way
to do this. But before we go to college, we
will have that conversation again multiple times. So yes, all right,
let me go back here. If you need an alternative
way to puke. Mandy, just smoke five plus cigarettes consecutively.
What do you think we were doing when we were
out drinking. We were smoking like a carton of cigarettes

(13:54):
at the same time, because you could still smoke in
bars when I was young and cool and making that choices.

Speaker 5 (14:02):
Night four by.

Speaker 4 (14:03):
Four, Mandy climbed a condo complex five stories high, drove
to Vegas from La Wait a minute, I got to
just updated. Drove to Vegas from LA where is it?
There's too many of you? For four hours, then drove
back even more drump jumping through the campfire. That seemed
like a good idea. How many people would not have

(14:24):
tattoos if not for alcohol. This text or asks, Hi, Mandy,
the craziest thing I did with skinny dip with several people,
maybe that happened in my life. Maybe it didn't. No,
it's video games. That's why they don't socialize.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
No, that's crazy.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
I was dressed up as fat Elvis for Halloween. Oh,
there's so many of you texting that they're coming in value.

Speaker 5 (14:42):
I can do them.

Speaker 4 (14:43):
I was dressed up as fat Elvis for Halloween and
had too much to drink. Ashamedly, I drove home and
passed out, parked in front of my apartment in my car,
in my Elvis jumpsuit. I was wakened by the horn,
with me slumped over hitting this steering wheel.

Speaker 5 (14:57):
Yep, that is ye something.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
One of my first drinking experiences, as textor said, was
finishing a bottle of jack with a friend. I found
out seventeen shots is my limit. It was a bad scene.
I don't think I could do three shots. Now, do
not drink an entire bottle of alcohol. You can die.
I just want to be clear about that. You can
die from that, Mandy, I drove into a bed bathom.

Speaker 5 (15:21):
Beyond Holy cow. What nuh. I'm guessing there was repercussions
from that one. Mandy.

Speaker 4 (15:28):
We used to have car parties and sit in the
car drinking, roasting, each other. There you go, Mandy by
drunk story is back in the eighties, borrowed my friend's
motorcycle and did burnouts in the grass at.

Speaker 5 (15:37):
The local police station.

Speaker 4 (15:39):
That's the kind of decision making I'm talking about, right there.

Speaker 5 (15:42):
Oh boy, there you go. We have opened up by
can of worm Mandy.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
In my early twenties, I was at a party I
got really messed up downing an entire bottle of Mad
Dog twenty twenty. After refunding the entire contents in the bathroom,
I noticed that the person throwing the party at a
pet tarantula that got out of the aquarium. I go
running out of the room, not able to say tarantula, screaming,
run for your lives. There's a lobster loose.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
Well done Tom in the Well done Tom. This is
my favorite topic that we've ever done in the history
of the Shadyn Listeners. Y'all are fans.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
You're bringing you're bringing it, and I have barely scratched
the surface of these we are see Mandy fire. Mandy
Batman would cheat and use kryptonite. Probably true.

Speaker 5 (16:28):
I mean he has Superman. Oh there you go.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
Every single person in my immediate ancestry is an alcoholic.
I chose not to find out if I was. What
have I missed? You've missed a lot of bad decision making,
sir or madam, so much, This person said, Mandy, you
look at a group of kids.

Speaker 5 (16:43):
Oh Jesus keeps updating. You know, there's a top thing
that says stop updating right now? I know, but I
want to.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
Okay, I guess I should. Yeah, take that off. Okay,
here we go, Now I can do this. Let's see here,
common complex, Let's see here. We got super drunk at
a CSU football game after drinking the night before, decided
to repark a person's truck that left the keys inside
in a different part of the parking lot. Oh my gosh, sure, Mandy,

(17:11):
my drunk story is back in the eighties.

Speaker 5 (17:13):
Oh wait, I already read that one. Here we go,
every oh, here we go.

Speaker 4 (17:19):
Climbed outside of an apartment's balcony to the fourth floor
just to get a hug from a girl I was
crushing on at the time. Brian, You're lucky you didn't
fall to your death. Mandy went streaking through McDonald's after
a Wailing Jenny's concert at Red Rocks Mandy, I drive
one hundred miles per hour on a Gravel County road,

(17:41):
lost control, skid and slid for about one thousand feet,
then ended up with my rear bumper on the fence
side and my front bumper on the road side of
the ditch, with tires not touching the ground. I believe
in Guardian angels. After that, we should.

Speaker 5 (17:55):
Have all died. And there's so much I want to
add that I just I know, Mandy.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
Could it be the gen Z doesn't drink because marijuana
is legal now? Yes?

Speaker 6 (18:03):
I wonder if anyone is like me that when you
get a certain way, you do certain things, and you
have an alias. I have a I have a I
have a nickname. People start to call me when I, oh.

Speaker 4 (18:13):
You have an altern you have an altern I.

Speaker 6 (18:14):
Do have an alter ego, really I do, and people
call's name.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
I can't say, wait, you're gonna tell me off the
air because I told you my embarrassing name. Though, yes,
I will, okay here, because now we have a mutually
assured destruction.

Speaker 5 (18:27):
Correct, Okay, We'll be back.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
I'm not done reading these, so you can keep texting
them at five, six, six nine. Oh, this is my
favorite thing.

Speaker 5 (18:33):
I've seen.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
Actually, no, don't text anymore. Because we've got Dave Fraser
from Box thirty one coming up. I'm gonna ask him
if he's ever done anything dumb. I won't make him
tell you what it is, though, because that would just
be wrong. Chief Meteorologist Dave Frasier. But first, Dave, did
you hear what we were talking about right before the break?

Speaker 8 (18:50):
Did you?

Speaker 7 (18:54):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (18:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (18:54):
And based on the way you just laughed, I know
you have stories too, but you're not going to tell
them on yourself because you don't have anonymity of the
text flide.

Speaker 8 (19:02):
I wouldn't know how to index them or put them
in a catalog, have a pool for everything, which.

Speaker 4 (19:08):
Well, I think that you've got any story that starts
with there was gold slogger, or there was there was
you know, like uh tequila, those go to the top.
Any any story that starts with those two that goes
to the top. All right, let's talk about weather for
a moment, shall we. Uh, this is a I'll give you.

Speaker 8 (19:27):
I'll give you a story, oh, Hitney, just because remind
you as you were talking, I thought about watermelon and
I don't know what a I don't know what a
rud story was, but you know, alcohol may have been involved.
But we used to go to Fort Lauderdale all the
time in Florida for spring break because that was the
thing back in the day. And we can go down
there and you never heard of the grease pig. Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 9 (19:51):
So you take a watermelon and you just lather it
up with vassiline and you toss it in the water
and the watermelon floats, and then you proceed to play
football a bunch of guys drinking all day. The watermelon's
popping out all over the place. You're drinking all day
in the water. You don't know you've consumed as much
as you have, and so it's just one of those
days and the sunsets and all of a sudden you
realize maybe you've had a lot to drink.

Speaker 8 (20:13):
Well, that one evening, we're staying at.

Speaker 9 (20:16):
This hotel and I decided I'm getting up on the
second floor that climbing down a palm tree would be fun.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
Oh no, it's not.

Speaker 7 (20:25):
No.

Speaker 8 (20:26):
The next morning, the cuts on my thighs and my
legs were ridiculous. And that's when you wake up and go, huh.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
Did I put a porcupine Yeah, did I put a
porcupine in a headlock last night?

Speaker 5 (20:38):
What's just happen? Your quarterback of the watermelon's gone wrong?

Speaker 8 (20:42):
Exactly. I'm telling you, if you've never played it, it
is fun. Get a bunch of guys together, put a
bottle to something out to the side, and have fun.
It's a great time doing it.

Speaker 4 (20:50):
We have actually done this, only you cut a very
specific hole in the watermelon. You then pour a couple
of bottles of vodka or ever clear if you have
that into the watermelon. Then you reak works the watermelon.
Then you play with it so it all gets shake
shaken around, and then you eat the watermelon.

Speaker 5 (21:05):
And it is infused with the liquor problems.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
I'm telling you. Oh, don't even get me started our
hunch punch. Okay at parties, don't even do it well anyway, Okay, now,
let's talk about weather now that we could do that
so right now, I actually am enjoying the heck out
of this weather that we're having right now, but I'm
also ready for sweater weather. Yeah, well we're going to

(21:27):
get to sweater weather. We want sweater weather.

Speaker 9 (21:30):
So you know, I kind of figured we'd start talking
you know, with Labor Day coming this weekend at the
unofficial end of summer and meteorological summer ends on the
thirty first of August, and so I'm sure everybody's wondering,
you know, what does September and beyond look like? And
it continues to be the same we've talked about week
after week that the long range forecast continue to keep

(21:51):
Colorado and Denver in the front range, specifically on the
warm and dry side. So again that's warmer.

Speaker 8 (21:56):
Than and drier than average.

Speaker 9 (21:58):
It doesn't tell you anything about the day to day,
but we had seen with the long range outlooks that June, July,
and August have all come up a little warmer. July,
interestingly enough, wasn't that much warmer. It was only six
tenths of a degree warmer than normal. June was warmer,
probably about five degrees, and August is trending warmer as well.
So we could end up with what could be statistically

(22:21):
the second warmest average summer temperature on record, but we'll
have to wait a couple more days to get those
final numbers. So it's not sweater weather, not anytime soon.
But you know, the cooler nights are definitely with the
shorter days coming.

Speaker 5 (22:36):
Well, and that's glorious.

Speaker 4 (22:37):
And I was talking to a friend of mine who
lives in Florida and South Florida and it's still so
hot all the.

Speaker 5 (22:42):
Time down there, and they never get the cool off.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
And I'm like, you know what, every day when I
get up to walk my dog as the sun comes up,
we have that nice like briskness to the air that
I love, love, love.

Speaker 5 (22:53):
Now, what is in the you know?

Speaker 4 (22:55):
So we don't see anything coming our way in the
next few weeks. There's nothing in the immediate long return
forecast that we need to be worried about. And do
we need to just like water our trees and stuff as
they get ready to hibernate themselves.

Speaker 9 (23:08):
Continue, continue through at least the end of September with
your normal watering schedule that you do all summer long,
because September can be a dry month and we still
get the warm days in the sunlight. And actually, your lawn,
if it turned the little bron's probably going to start
to green up. With the shorter days and the cooler nights,
you'll start to notice it growing a little more. So
just maintain that for at least another month. I wouldn't

(23:30):
give up on the season. Yet.

Speaker 8 (23:31):
You get into October and we start to see, you know,
nips of cold that might be a concern for sprinkler
systems and everything, then we could start talking about, you know,
kind of the end of the season. But you're good
for at least another month. And yeah, keep the watering
schedule going about every three days is all you need.

Speaker 9 (23:45):
You don't need to overdo it and waste your money,
all right.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
So one last question, and that is it's a holiday weekend.
What are we looking at this weekend?

Speaker 5 (23:54):
Day? Frasier pretty good.

Speaker 8 (23:56):
I mean we're gonna get in the low nineties today.
You're gonna like tomorrow to be about eighty five sunny
with a few afternoon clouds. Fantastic in the upper eighty Saturday,
I think we could touch ninety degrees again.

Speaker 9 (24:07):
But again I stress at this time of the year,
it's not the heat of you know, June and July,
the temperatures go up very quickly.

Speaker 8 (24:15):
In late August. We do have a small chance of
a few showers in on Sunday and Monday.

Speaker 9 (24:20):
There might be one or two south of the city.
So think of Castle Rock and Larkspur and up and.

Speaker 8 (24:25):
Over Monument Hill. Not a lot going on Sunday Monday. However,
I have said this for the last few days, and
we'll continue to tell people who are planning to be
in the Colorado Mountains that rain chances are a little
better there. Saturday, Sunday and Monday. It'll be typical afternoon
and evening.

Speaker 9 (24:41):
Showers and thunderstorms. So there's a pretty good chance if
you're heading to the mountains you're going to bump into
a shower or two over the holiday weekend.

Speaker 4 (24:47):
And more importantly, if you're planning on doing a big
hike up the mountains, you're going to want to start
that real early, so you beat Have you seen these
stories that have come out the last couple of days
of people getting left on the mountain, like there was
a work retreat and a guy gets left on the
mountain and he finally gets to the summit and a
storm comes. He's not ready, I mean, ill prepared. People
hiking is a disaster.

Speaker 8 (25:11):
You know.

Speaker 9 (25:11):
Our meteorologist Chris Talmer has climbed every single mountain multiple
times in Colorado and had slept on every peak.

Speaker 8 (25:20):
He slept on all the fourteen ers he wrote a
book about it, and he will tell you you've got
to get going before sunrise. You've got the summit before
the early morning, late morning at the latest, and get down, especially.

Speaker 9 (25:32):
When you know there's a chance of storms on the forecast.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
Well, Dave Frasier, I love like I said, I'm enjoying
the weather that we're having right now, so we can
have this for a little while longer. I'm not ready
for the first snowstorm. I have a story on the
blog today about aspen's peaking. Are you guys reporting they're
not peaking yet? When to expect it? When are you
guys looking at that yet? So our aspen peepers know
when to do what they need to do.

Speaker 8 (25:56):
Yeah, we started looking at a fall color guide right
around this time of the year.

Speaker 9 (26:01):
Some of it has to do with the changing seasons
and the colder night. The other thing that can cause
things to turn early up there is drought.

Speaker 8 (26:08):
So sometimes if we're.

Speaker 9 (26:09):
In a drought, and we've seen that in Colorado, the
season can peak earlier and and earlier.

Speaker 8 (26:14):
So those are things that we'll keep an eye on.

Speaker 9 (26:16):
Tomorrow's Thursday, we'll get an update on the drought monitor.
I will tell you that the state as a whole,
the mountains included looks good. The problem area is the
Front Range and Metro Denver. This area it needs a
little more moisture. But the mountains are actually looking good.
Western slope looks good, Eastern plains look good. We're just
struggling with a little.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
Bit here in the city so that even the southern
mountains are good because there's.

Speaker 5 (26:38):
Deep been the problem children for a long time.

Speaker 9 (26:40):
Lately, Yep, they're good. So I like where we are.
I you know, we've had a warm summer, but it's
been in spurts, and I.

Speaker 8 (26:47):
Kind of like the way the summer's played out. We
had our problems with fires, We've had wet periods. We've
had sprinkles of rain here and there to keep us
from completely drying out. We do have some drought issues,
but overall, I think the summer has gone back and
forth enough that it's been decent summer. It hasn't been
blazing hot, it hasn't been the washout that was a
couple of years ago with all the severe weather. It's

(27:08):
been a little of everything all summer long.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
I have an accusatory text message asked Dave Fraser when
his vacation is over with and when he will return
to the Channel two Fox thirty one studio.

Speaker 5 (27:19):
Have you been vacationing the nerve of you, Dave Fraser?

Speaker 9 (27:23):
I was off the end of last week and Monday
of this show. I was actually on the air last night.
I had to take my son back.

Speaker 8 (27:28):
To Milwaukee, in which you guys just visited, and drop
him off for his final year of college.

Speaker 9 (27:33):
Getting closer to getting.

Speaker 8 (27:34):
Them off the payrolls for a few days. But I
am back, so all good and I'll be here to
get you through labor day weekends.

Speaker 4 (27:41):
Okay, one last question because I love this question. Why
do clouds sometimes look like they are all sitting on
an invisible glass table. The tops will be all fluffy
and look massive, but the bottom is flat, flat bottom
clouds make your rock and brain go well.

Speaker 5 (27:56):
Not sure if this has been asked.

Speaker 8 (27:58):
Yes, it has, and talk about It's called the lifting
condensation level. There's a line in the atmosphere at which
the temperature above that will cause condensation. So below that line,
the moisture is not condensing. Above that line, the temperature
is at a threshold that the cloud starts to form
from that flat bottom where that temperature.

Speaker 9 (28:19):
Line is, and then continues to bubble up above that.
So the listener is right, it does appear to have
like a glass bottom, like the cloud's literally sitting on
a ceiling and then rise from there. And it has
to do with where that temperature line is the causes
the condensation to kick in.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
All right, Dave Fraser, we'll talk to you next week
now that you're finally back from your unending vacation.

Speaker 8 (28:41):
Just catty labor day, folks, don't do anything stupid with
alcohol that got today.

Speaker 4 (28:46):
That's Dave Frasier. We will be back in a moment.
What's the dumbest thing you ever did when you were drunk?
And I'm going to speed read as many of these
as I can because they're hilarious, absolutely hilarious. Hey, by
the way, the bed bath and beyond driving into he said,
it wasn't as bad as you would have thought. There
you go. Let's see Waylon Jennings got that slept in

(29:09):
the Mandy slept in the bed of my Tacoma downtown Denver.
Would not be caught dead doing that today. Well, actually
would probably be dead if I tried that today. Mandy,
I rode the hood of my best friend's car down
an alley as she was driving me home.

Speaker 5 (29:22):
Who hasn't done that?

Speaker 4 (29:24):
I may or may not have passed out on the
hood of a Mercedes Benz in Germany, but that's a
story for another time. Mandy, I'm gonna get trashed at
the Mandy Conal karaoke party and we will take away
your keys. Mandy deciding at three in the morning, hammer
drunk to go fishing up in Estes Park with my
cousins because the fish bite in the morning, right, so
we had to be there. Mandy.

Speaker 5 (29:43):
Straight guy here kissed a dude.

Speaker 4 (29:45):
I mean, who hasn't come on, Mandy, I was designated
driver nine times out of ten friends get wasted and
threw up all over the inside of my car. Had
that smell for days that made me not want to drink.
Mandy made a U turn on Utopia Parkway, Queens, New
York during eight a m. Rush hour after leaving an
after hours bar, more tired than drunk at the time,

(30:06):
but never did it again. This person says, you two
are not quite a squares, but differently close to the
first stone wheel. Haha. One time says this text I
got almost one hundred mosquito bites while having sex in
a cornfield. Mandy broke into a construction site on Berkeley
Campus and climbed a ladder to the top of the
construction crane with two of my buddies.

Speaker 5 (30:26):
Early nineties, Mandy.

Speaker 4 (30:27):
We got three tractors stuck in a field one hundred
miles from home.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
Getting our trucks unstuck.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
Mandy, you think you only remember everything because there were
no cell phone cameras. Amazing what you can't remember. Yes,
that is probably true. Mandy passed down on my wedding night.
I bet that's happened more times than we can even count. Mandy,
my husband and I are both runners. There were so
many overgrown trees and bushes in the neighborhood. One night,
we were talking about how tired we were of having
a duck and dodge the branches on our runs. We

(30:55):
started drinking and decided to take garden shears out and
proceeded to trim all of the hanging branches that our
neighborhood on behalf of our neighbor You were just being helpful,
Just being helpful. Mandy.

Speaker 5 (31:06):
Raised someone home.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
And decided to take a shortcut that was up a
car ramp. There was a right turn at the top
which I missed, and somehow the car stuck on the
garage curb. Called a tow truck and they said they
wouldn't touch the car unless the cops came. They did
and just laughed and said that was the dumbest thing.
No ticket and no charge from the tow truck driver. Mandy,
on a drunken VET, tried a parachute out of a

(31:27):
barn loft using ropes in a bed sheet. Broke my
leg tip. Besides, besides, not this inebriated weight. I don't
know what that is. When the height of the loft
is approximately twenty feet, don't use twenty two feet of rope, Mandy.
I peed into a neighbor's car through a window they
left open. This was the last time I was drunk.

(31:47):
Twenty six years ago, Mandy. Back in college, I got
really drunk and climbed on top of the Kentucky Fried
Chicken restaurant behind my house and stole the Kentucky Fried
Chicken bucket off the roof, took it back to our
our house, put it in the living room, and our
house was known as the Kentucky fried Chicken House, you know,
because all of the houses in college had names. That
is true many years ago, says this person. The Greystone

(32:11):
Castle on one hundred and fourth. He used to have
ladies night penny drinks starting at nine pm. My friends
and I had lots of fun, but drank way too much.
I was the least drunk and drove us home a
half hour away. Don't remember getting from point A to
point B. We were all dumb and so lucky.

Speaker 5 (32:29):
Even worse.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
First time I went out with my wife involving another
stuck truck. Started out after getting a wait, blue mud
all over her from the exhaust.

Speaker 5 (32:38):
That's twenty five years ago. You're lucky.

Speaker 4 (32:40):
People got drunk and murdered six people on listening from prison.
By the way, I don't think that's true. I do
not think that's true. After a night of drinking, I
drove home with a hand over one eye so I
could see one image. Got woken up at three am
by my drinking buddy's wife to get money from an
all night check cashing joint to go bail him out
of jail. He got a DUI never drove drunk again.

(33:02):
That was four decades ago from Steve at home. On
Lee from the Marines, I got drunk on Tequilan, blacked out.
Friends told me I was running around, saying I was
chasing commies.

Speaker 5 (33:13):
Yep, yep.

Speaker 4 (33:15):
My friend and I went to the drive through at
Del Taco. Upon driving thirty miles on the highway on
the way back home, I could not keep a constant speed,
so my friend in the passenger seat threw his leg
over the center console and worked the gas while I
steered down the freeway doing seventy miles an hour eating
Del Taco. And that is the kind of bad decision
making that I'm talking about. My first semester, I foolishly

(33:38):
had an eight to thirty class on Fridays. Thursday was
the big party night. When Thursday I had a ton
of Yegermeister shots, stayed up too late, slept about an hour,
got up, projectile, vomited on my wall in the dorm room,
got to class, took a test and aced it. And
a surprisingly large number of you have had sex with
multiple people. And I have fifty more stories that I

(34:00):
could read, but I'm not going to because we actually
have other stuff that we're going to talk about on
the show today. So We'll be back after the news.
Traffkin Weather with actual news. Next.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Bell and Pollock
Accident and injury Lawyers.

Speaker 10 (34:16):
No, it's Mandy Connell and donal Ka ninety FM.

Speaker 11 (34:26):
God wa say the Nicey's three, Andy Connell keeping sad Babe.

Speaker 5 (34:37):
Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
The second hour of the show. I have to address
one comment from the text line. So I have this texture.
I believe I'm Sarah saying this texture hates Donald Trump.
It is going to vote for Kamala Harris. But today
this text just wait in on all of the funny stories.

Speaker 5 (34:55):
We just listen.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
All these strength driving stories are hilarious. Mandy Gross, Guys,
we were dumb. We were dumb, and the world had
a different view of drunk driving back then. And I'm
not saying it was acceptable, because it.

Speaker 5 (35:11):
Was clearly illegal.

Speaker 4 (35:13):
But I drove drunk on occasion, and I thank God
every single moment that I can that no one was
ever hurt, that I never damaged any.

Speaker 5 (35:22):
Not even that I didn't get a DUI right.

Speaker 4 (35:25):
I mean, if I had, it would have been my
responsibility and I would have had to deal with it.

Speaker 5 (35:28):
But I'm just grateful that no one got hurt.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
And as you get older and wiser, you realize that
that's just a dumb choice. And now, with the advent
of uber and lyft and taxicabs everywhere, there's literally no
reason to ever drink and drive again. So if anyone
except this one ginormous Harris supporting sourpuss who can't stop texting,
is thinking that I'm in any way, shape or form

(35:53):
endorsing drunk driving, You've probably never listened to the show
before and don't know. I'm an intelligent person, an intelligent
with a very dodgy history in some respects. So yeah, hey, Ron,
I think this one's for you. Before we get into
an actual topic, Hey Mandy from the text line, I

(36:14):
like to go out to the movies. I'm not gen
X or a gen Y or any alphabetical gen but
I'm an adult. However, I went to see the Deadpool
Wolverine movie last night. This is supposedly a comic strip
character by Marvel. I could not believe the obscene language
that was spread throughout the whole movie, mostly the F
word and the MF word. Why is it that they
have to use such language in a comic strip movie.

Speaker 5 (36:37):
Is that how our young people talk?

Speaker 4 (36:39):
Not in my family? Isn't it rated R?

Speaker 5 (36:41):
Your friend? It's rated R.

Speaker 6 (36:43):
Isn't Deadpool? It is there are it's literally theres TG.

Speaker 4 (36:52):
I would be like, you have a you have a case,
but you went to see.

Speaker 6 (36:54):
An R rated movie, specifically a Deadpool movie. That anything
to people who don't know. I'm trying to educate Deadpool.
First of all, the comics and everything about it. Deadpool
is way way worse than that movie can be, way
more obscene, way more swearing, way more graphic.

Speaker 4 (37:12):
In defense of this texter, I didn't like the first
Deadpool movie.

Speaker 6 (37:15):
I found it off for I was like, eh, and
this third one is more obscene and more.

Speaker 5 (37:20):
Vulgar than the not my thing.

Speaker 4 (37:22):
But yeah, young people do talk this way.

Speaker 5 (37:24):
By the way, should know what you're getting into. Young
people do talk like that.

Speaker 4 (37:29):
So you got sold a bill of goods, but you
should have known by the R rating that things were
not necessarily You weren't going to see a little Abner strip, right,
You weren't going to see like you know, Richie rich
or the Archie comic books that you weren't going to
see that it's it's a movie.

Speaker 5 (37:42):
That is rated are for a reason. So there you go.

Speaker 4 (37:45):
I want to talk about some of the stuff we
have on the blog today, property taxes, the fix as
you just heard in the news with Kathy Walker's moved
out of the house, and it looks like we are
going to have some property tax released. And I know
a relief, and I know that there are people in
this listening audience because we got the text messages the
other day when we had Christy Burton Brown on that
are going to be super mad that Advance Colorado and

(38:07):
Colorado Concern pull these ballot measures off the ballot. But
I'm going to be perfectly honest. I said this the
other day.

Speaker 5 (38:14):
The polling on these was not good. It was not horrible.

Speaker 4 (38:19):
It wasn't like, you know, ten percent support, but it
was not close enough to majority support that it would
not have cost. I can't even imagine how much it
would have cost to get this over the finish line.
And Advance Colorado and Colorado Concern have already promised that
if at some point the legislature tries to go back

(38:39):
on this, that they will run these ballot initiatives again.
So the threat is looming, but This is one of
those situations where a bird in the hand is worth
two in the bush, right, you know? Have you ever
heard that saying?

Speaker 8 (38:52):
Rod?

Speaker 5 (38:52):
Do you are you familiar with that saying?

Speaker 4 (38:54):
I used it in front of somebody your age and
they literally gave me the dull stare of the dairy
cow and they were like what, And I was a
bird in the hand, one that you already have is
better than two that are sitting over there in a tree. Yes,
And he was like, oh okay, oh, oh got it.
How do you make it through life? I mean maybe

(39:14):
how do you go through life without hearing that? I
mean I only recently heard it. That makes that person
feel okay, well there you get that. Probably if they
I don't think they listen to the show. Mandy says
this Texter, Since the only way to get our legislators
to pass reasonable bills is to threaten them with ballot initiatives,
can we hire companies like Advance Colorado to run continuous
ballid initiatives on important topics? Steve, you can absolutely quote

(39:39):
hire them by making a donation. This is why I
recommend that people donate to the Independence Institute and Advance
Colorado because they are out there not just talking the talk.
They're out there actually doing things to lower the cost
of living in Colorado. And so if you want to
quote hire them them to keep doing this. This is

(40:02):
their intent. And by the way, one of the reasons
that they have agreed to pull these ballot initiatives rather
than trying to fundraise and spend millions of dollars to
get them over the finish line, is so that they
can use that money on other ballot initiatives next time.
They're very aggressive with this stuff, and they're not going
to win all of them, but they're enough of a

(40:24):
threat that if this is what it takes to get
the legislature to pay attention to free markets and lower
properties access.

Speaker 5 (40:32):
Then I'm all for it.

Speaker 4 (40:33):
You can donate to Advanced Colorado and help them with
their endeavors and.

Speaker 5 (40:37):
Let them know how much you appreciate this.

Speaker 4 (40:40):
We got to get Michael Fields or Christy Burton round
back on the show to talk about this, because this
is a big victory for them, and I think it
is the strategy going forward until we can have a
functioning Republican party once again in the in Colorado. Congratulations,
by the way, goes out to former GOP chairman Dave Williams.

(41:00):
His wife just gave birth to their fourth child, a happy,
healthy boy. I wish he and his family the best
as he moves on to his next endeavor as the
former chair of the Republican Party. By the way, we're
going to have the current chair of the Republican Party,
Eli Bremmer on at one point thirty. He's got some
news and if you're a Republican, he's asking for some help.

(41:21):
So we're going to talk to him in just a
few minutes.

Speaker 5 (41:25):
So there you go.

Speaker 4 (41:27):
Another thing on the blog that I want to talk
about very quickly.

Speaker 5 (41:30):
This is laughable.

Speaker 4 (41:32):
So Kamala Harris is finally coming under criticism from news
media outlets for not doing any interviews, So she schedules
an interview with CNN's Dana Bash and it's going to
air Thursday night on CNN.

Speaker 5 (41:50):
Thursday night is.

Speaker 4 (41:51):
The Thursday night before Labor Day weekend. Dana Bash is
on the lowest rated news network that is considered one
of the big news networks. Their audience compared to Fox
News is minuscule, and they're gonna put them on at
nine o'clock, which is ten o'clock Eastern and it's not

(42:13):
just Kamala Harris. So I guess they said, hey, Vice
President Harris, we'd really like to sit down with you,
and she was like, can I bring my banky?

Speaker 5 (42:23):
Can I bring my woody?

Speaker 4 (42:25):
Tim Walls is now her security blanket, because I don't
remember Joe Biden and Kamala Harris sitting down for a
joint interview. And I looked this morning on the interwebs
and could not find one instance of Kamala Harris sitting
down with Joe Biden.

Speaker 5 (42:40):
During the campaign. Not one.

Speaker 4 (42:43):
But I also couldn't find very many Kamala Harris interviews
during the campaign.

Speaker 5 (42:48):
So Thursday and night.

Speaker 4 (42:49):
By the way, if you're expecting any sort of fireworks
from a live interview, there won't be because the interview
will be tape. Now, I'm not saying that CNN would
edit the interview to make Kamala Harris look good, but
I will say I don't trust CNN not to edit
the interview to make Kamala Harris look good.

Speaker 5 (43:11):
But I want to make a point here about this.

Speaker 4 (43:15):
Kamala Harris wants us to make her the leader of
the free world. She wants to be the person who
is going to have to stare down other world leaders.
Whether they are our allies or not. It doesn't matter
if there are allies. We are still in inherent competition with
other countries around the world. She's going to have to
have difficult conversations with our allies about difficult topics, and

(43:37):
we're supposed to believe she can't sit down with a
friendly interviewer in Dana Bash by herself. But she's going
to stand up to these world laters. She's going to
be the one that goes out there and projects the
strength of fate or the face of strength to the
rest of the world.

Speaker 5 (43:53):
She can't even sit for an interview by herself.

Speaker 4 (43:56):
Now, I love interviewing people way more than I have
been ineed. But I've been interviewed many times, many many times,
and I've never said, you know, what, can I can
I bring a Rod to this interview because I just
feel like it would be better if he was there. No,
not because I don't love an adoor a rod, but

(44:17):
because that's not how this works. I don't want to
hear from Tim Walls. I don't care about Tim Walls.
All I know about Tim Walls is that he allowed
Minneapolis to be burned when he sat around talking about
how exciting it was that this movement was going on.
Tim Walls signed a bill in Minnesota that allows the

(44:37):
state of Minnesota to remove children from their homes if
their parents don't agree to medically transition them. I mean,
I know everything I need to know about Tim Walls.
I don't care to know anything else about him. And
now what are we going to be subjected to?

Speaker 5 (44:54):
Come on, Oh.

Speaker 4 (44:56):
Darn, gonna miss Kamala's interview. Going to the Dewbie Brothers
concert Thursday night, as am I dear Texter, But unfortunately
it will be there in the morning when I wake up,
so I can pull it up on the YouTube and
I can watch the whole thing. Mandy Kamala needing Walls
to be included for a pre recorded interview is such
a slap in the face for women who are at

(45:17):
the top in their field. She's basically saying, I need
my team to face an interview. At a Fortune one
fifty company I worked for the day before the quarterly
board meetings, I was on the team that prepped the
CFO on the financials for our division. He asked the
questions he needed to know or thought the board would ask.
He faced the board alone the next day. The last
two roles I've had, I am the only one going

(45:39):
to the board meeting. I don't need to get to
bring anyone on my team. I need to be able
to present the financials and HR items to the board
and answer their questions. Anyone who votes for Kamala solely
because of her gender and or race is an idiot
because she is showing that based on her gender, race,
or abilities, she is not fit to be potus. Alexa,
you took the words right off of my blog. This

(46:02):
is to me as a woman who has worked in
a male dominated field for a very long time, and
I've dealt with my share of BS sexism. That is
so far, you guys. Someday, when I'm fully retired, I'm
going to write a scorching tell all of all of
the crap that I have dealt with in this industry,

(46:23):
in talk radio specifically, because oh my god, it's a
pile of crap, just a giant, steaming pile of crap.
But you know what, throughout my career, I have had
opportunities where I was offered a job to move to
a bigger market moved to a better day bart any
of these things, but it was always on the condition
that I am teamed up with a man, and I

(46:44):
always said no, because when a man enters the chat,
when a man gets to be on your show, everyone
immediately assumes he is the lead and you are the sidekick.
And I was never going to put myself in that position,
even though I got to tell you, like I love
doing shows with Ross.

Speaker 5 (47:02):
It's the easiest thing in the world.

Speaker 4 (47:03):
To have a co hosts. It's not even half the work.
It's like a corner of the work of doing all
this by myself every day. But it was important to me,
as a woman in a male dominated industry who put
up with my fair share of crap, that I make
it easier for the next woman who wanted to host
a show by herself. I wanted to lay the groundwork

(47:25):
that said women can succeed in talk radio, because I've
been told they can't. So I mean, it was really
important to me to present myself as strong and capable
and able to do the hard thing. And this is
such so egregious for women like me who have put

(47:45):
up with the crap and yet still put ourselves out
there over and over and over again, like Alexa, to
show that we can do the job. And now she
has an opportunity to sit down for an interview, the
only interview she has done since she has decided that
she's gonna run for president and she can't even go
by herself. Is he gonna hold her hand through it?

(48:06):
Is he gonna patter knee? Is he gonna rub her
arm gently to give her confidence? Is he gonna interrupt
to clarify something that she just said that made no sense?
Is he gonna man explain her? I find this incredibly embarrassing,
Like I'm embarrassed for her. And something occurred to me
when I was working on the blog this morning, and

(48:27):
I was sort of feeling apoplectic, like I am now
about the fact she can't even do a freaking interview
by herself, but she wants to run the country like
the book stops here, and with my vice president, who
might go everywhere with because I'm scared to be alone.
Do we know yet? Has anybody seen anywhere who was
the person or people that decided that Kamala Harris was

(48:50):
the candidate.

Speaker 5 (48:52):
Now we've seen a lot of news stories.

Speaker 4 (48:54):
They've all been coming out since the convention about how
Nancy Pelosi essentially stabbed Joe Biden in the face, not
even in the back, by calling him up after a
fifty year friendship and saying, you know what, I'm going
to go public with my concerns if you don't drop out,
Barack Obama threw him under the bus, didn't defend him,
didn't come out and try to prevent George Clooney from

(49:14):
writing a New York Times op ed demanding he stepped down.
So we know who threw Joe Biden under the bus,
we know why he stepped down. But if you've seen
one story about who decided Kamala was the candidate, it
happened instantaneously. Was there a meeting, Was there a zoom call?

(49:39):
Was there a series of text messages? If so, who
were the people who decided who chose a candidate that
did not get a single vote in the primary season,
not a single vote, did not get a single delegate
once she ran in twenty twenty. Who are these people now?
My guess is the same people that shoved Joe Biden out.

(50:03):
Nancy Pelosi was involved, The Obamas were involved. There's no
doubt in my mind the Obamas still exert a tremendous
amount of power in the Democratic Party. If they didn't,
they wouldn't be living in Georgetown right now. They would
have done like what every president has done. They would
have gone home. But they didn't. They bought a big

(50:24):
place in Georgetown. They're staying in DC. Why is that?
I would love, love, love to know. I'd love to
have been a fly on the wall for that meeting.
I'd love to know if there was any descent. I'd
love to know about the conversations that elevated her at
the top of the ticket.

Speaker 5 (50:42):
Wouldn't you wouldn't.

Speaker 4 (50:43):
You like to know who chose the current front runner
to be the president of the United States of America?
I would, And yet our major news media outlets, The
New York Times, The Washington Post, ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC
even fought snooze. Has there been any intellectual curiosity about
who made this decision and how I haven't seen it?

(51:07):
And this is par for the course of a Democratic
leadership team that in twenty sixteen decided to kneecap Bernie
Sanders and elevate Hillary to the top of the ticket,
even though Bernie Sanders had more popular support than Hillary
Clinton did. This is the same team that decided in
twenty twenty that Joe Biden was going to be the guy.

(51:30):
He was gonna be the guy. We're all gonna rally
behind Joe Biden because we got to beat Donald Trump.
And then they put him in the basement and he
put on the most pathetic campaign I've ever seen. And
then they changed the laws around voting because of COVID.
Who are these people that are running the country, because
apparently they are, Mandy, That's the reason the Obamas didn't

(51:52):
support her at first, so people were sidetracked. That's an
excellent point, Mandy. This is the definition of a palace coup.
That from Greg. Yes it is, Mandy. The current Democratic
Party leadership is a police state. The sooner we realize this,
the sooner we can get back to normal politics. The
thing I don't get is, and I'm being super genuine
about this, no Democratic voters are mad. No Democratic voters

(52:18):
are asking the question, who is telling us what to do?
Who is telling us who to vote for, Who is
telling us who our candidate is going to be? You
know in the Jack Smith indictment, And yes, we're going
to talk about the Jack Smith indictment shortly. It's exactly
almost the same as the previous indictment, but he actually
is charging Trump for what he says is subverting the

(52:41):
vote of the people. If that is a criminal charge that,
how in the world are the Democrats not far more
guilty of that crime? And if anybody has any insight
into who elevated Kamala, I'd love to know. I'd love

(53:02):
it if the news media would dig into that and
just find out. I think I think the American people
deserve to know, don't we. I certainly hope the Trump
campaign is working on that right now, because we have
kingmakers working in I would say smoke filled rooms, probably
pop smokefield rooms, but they're working behind the scenes that
we don't get. There's no accountability there. I just thought

(53:24):
it was curious, curiouser and curious her Mandy. Democrat voters
are also curiously unperturbed by the fact that Kamala Harris
has turned into a Republican. Don't they care about the
causes she used to champion? What is up? What we're
seeing is the Democratic Party deciding winning is more important

(53:48):
and they'll figure out how to govern later. And I
think we all know how they'll govern. Just look at Colorado.
Are things better right now for you than they were
five years ago? Under five years of complete democratic rule?
I think most people would say no, But that's what
the country has headed for, and nobody seems to be
curious at all. When we get back. Current Republican Chairman

(54:11):
Eli Bremer joins me to talk about some stuff, and
if you're a Republican you definitely want to listen up.
Current Chairman of the Colorado GOP, Eli Bremer. You may
have heard him on Monday. He was elected to the
position after the Republican Party voted Dave Williams, his predecessor, out,
and Eli reached out today and said, we got some

(54:31):
stuff to talk about. So here he is chairman. Welcome
back to the show.

Speaker 8 (54:36):
Hey, thanks for having me on. I appreciate your time.

Speaker 5 (54:39):
I no problem.

Speaker 4 (54:40):
What's going on.

Speaker 8 (54:41):
Well, we are rocking and rolling moving forward, and a
lot of people have contacted me and said, hey, we
want to pitch and we want to support what's going on.
We are going to open up a new program here
in Colorado. I discovered earlier this week that nobody had
done any thing to the state party had not done
anything to bring in Trump door hangers and collateral into

(55:06):
that into the state because Trump hadn't been hadn't placed
us on the list of states that they're pursuing that
has a downtiket impact. And so we're putting together a
program and people can participate in it where we're going
to go buy the collateral that should have been bought
and use that to help activate people who want to

(55:26):
knock on doors. And then that's going to help us
in the State House and the state Senate seats, and
that's going to be up and running here very shortly.

Speaker 5 (55:35):
Well, that's exciting.

Speaker 4 (55:36):
And obviously you are not in control of the bank
accounts yet because the former chairman is clinging to power
like an aging starlet. And so are you recommending that people?
How can people sign up to help? What are the
ways the steps they can take?

Speaker 8 (55:53):
Well, we are partnering with the Well County Republican Party
and this is totally legal. We can work with a
county party. They have agreed to accept and cage the
donations for the state party until we have control of
the bank account and that means that we have people
that want to help us to really kickstart this election cycle,
they can make donations over to the Well County Party

(56:16):
and then we will be able to extend those resources
towards the general election here in November.

Speaker 4 (56:22):
Excellent. Has there been any progress on getting the RNC
to recognize the change that we've seen in this last week.

Speaker 8 (56:28):
It's going to be a bit of a process that
starts in the Colorado court system. We're going to have
some news on that coming up. There's several legal things
going on right now that I'm not at liberty to discuss,
but I believe that the RNC, based on conversations we have,
they want to see this play out in the Colorado
court system first and then from there. We do not

(56:51):
anticipate a big hurdle to get the final recognition of
the RNC.

Speaker 4 (56:55):
So I'm just going to ask this, and I don't
expect you to reveal any insider information, but it's my
understanding that party politics are outside the purview of the courts.
So how would that work?

Speaker 8 (57:09):
Well, the internal party politics are. That being said, the
courts have jurisdiction over enforcement of something in the party.
So for instance, let's say that after my term I
said I don't really want to leave and the Central
Committee voted, somebody else in the party can go to
the court to kick me out of the office. And

(57:31):
that's what we're doing right now, is the the courts
have the ability to enforce that, to say, hey, you're
a squatter in the office. You've got to give up
the keys, you got to give up the bank account.
So that is adjudicatable in court. Ironically, it's the former
chairman who took Todd Watkins and Nancy Flosi to court
and lied to the court and said that the Central

(57:51):
Committee had made the decision already not to pursue removal,
which was a flat outli When the judge discovered that
he removed his own tro and let us move forward
with their removals.

Speaker 5 (58:03):
Okay, good, good to know.

Speaker 4 (58:04):
So action right now. If you want to donate to
support Republican candidates, but you're not going to give money
to the current state GOP, which is good, you can
donate to the Weld County Republican Party. And if you
want to sign up to be active in these campaigns,
what's the best way to do that?

Speaker 8 (58:20):
Eli, Well, tell you what I'm gonna say. I'm gonna
call it audible on this one because we didn't have
a data system set up yet, but if you sign
up on the Weld site, their chairman over there has
been great to work with and we'll catch those emails
and things like that. But right now you can go
to weldcountygop dot com, now dot org, weldcountygop dot com.

(58:42):
There's a donate button and if you're excited about any
of our candidates, if you want to help us bring
in the collateral for the top of the ticket, particularly
that seems to be the number one issue right now.
We have volunteers walking in the door and saying, why
don't we have collateral for our candidates. We're going to
be working on bringing that end. So we're doing a

(59:02):
mass order. We're hoping to have about one thousand billboard
signs back into Colorado within about four weeks. We're buying
one hundred thousand walk pieces for our volunteers to hand out,
so we have a big need on that right now.
A billboard sign costs about twenty five bucks, so every
one hundred dollars someone gives, they're putting up four billboards.

Speaker 5 (59:21):
Excellent, excellent.

Speaker 4 (59:22):
So Eli, I have been sharing all of the stuff
that you're putting out on X and I would urge
people you do a great job communicating with people on
X at your account at Eli Bremmer easy to find,
and I commend you for letting people know about things
like just calling candidates and offering support and that that
had not happened before you guys took over. So keep

(59:45):
doing what you're doing, and as things change and as
you gain control of the party finances, we'll get you
back on to let people know as things are moving
that way. But right now, the Weld County Republican Party
is acting as a conduit for pretty much everything. People
want to make a donation, do they need to ear
market for the state party?

Speaker 5 (01:00:03):
How does that work you?

Speaker 8 (01:00:04):
We'll figure that out on the backside. And they're not
They hadn't been doing a major, you know, major fundraise
right now. So if there's a if there's a note
on there and they say this is for the state
party operations, that's fine. But we are fully coordinated now
with the Weld County Republican Party and we'll be working
with a number of other major parties. But for the

(01:00:26):
finance part of what we're doing. If folk want to contribute,
they can go to weldcountygop dot com, click the donate button,
and that money is going in. It'll be properly and
legally reported. That's a big issue because right now we
can't accept donations into the state account because we can't
report them. So people can donate money there, it'll be
it's all legally done now, and then we can use

(01:00:48):
those funds to help out our candidates in November.

Speaker 4 (01:00:50):
And I'm just going to say this, if you are,
like me, excited about the fact that we are moving
on from some of the worst leadership I've ever seen
in my life, a perfect way to affirm that and
let people in the Republican Party know that you support
what's going on is to make a donation like today
to the Weld County Republican Party, just as a symbolic gesture.

(01:01:12):
Right if for no other reason, just say look, I
am glad we're moving on from the failed leadership that
we've had, and the easiest way to do that is
to throw a little money into the account and show
what real fundraising looks like. ELI appreciate your time today.
Is there anything else you need to get out before
we go?

Speaker 8 (01:01:30):
We appreciate your support. We got nine hundred thousand Republicans
in the state of Colorado. The Republican Party is there
to serve them in our candidates, and I wish everybody
a great late for a weekend. If I don't have
a chance to be on your show before, then all.

Speaker 4 (01:01:42):
Right, Eli Bremer, I appreciate you, and we'll talk again soon.

Speaker 5 (01:01:46):
All right, thank you, all right, thank you. That is
Eli Bremmer.

Speaker 4 (01:01:49):
And again, by the way, I would welcome Dave Williams
on this show. I would welcome him. We were never
able to get him on the show previously. I know
he has been dodging Dan Kaplis. I know that he's
been dodging others. And if anybody knows to say, hey,
you know what, if you want to come on and

(01:02:09):
defend yourself, I'm more than happy to. I will call
him the former chairman, just to let you know, because
I have officially recognized Eli Brammer is.

Speaker 5 (01:02:18):
The chairman of the Republican Party.

Speaker 4 (01:02:19):
If you're a if you're a Republican in Colorado and
you've just been embarrassed and disheartened and you know, generally
unhappy with the way that the Republican Party has been
in Colorado.

Speaker 5 (01:02:34):
Now's the time to re engage.

Speaker 4 (01:02:36):
Now's the time to say, you know what, we have
to have a functioning Republican party in Colorado or the
state is going to continue going in a direction that
is going to make it unaffordable for everyone except for
the rich elites. And if you are a rich elite,
they're going to text you to death to redistribute your
money to people that they feel deserve it more who

(01:02:57):
didn't work for it. That's what Colorado has become. And
without a Republican party, we have to rely on Advanced Colorado.

Speaker 5 (01:03:04):
We talked about this already, the.

Speaker 4 (01:03:06):
Property tax ballot initiatives that have been run Advance Colorado
is essentially functioning as the opposition party right now. But
they can't function as the opposition party on every issue
right We can't rely on the Independence Institute to come
by with a ballot initiative and try and clean everything up.

(01:03:26):
We need to have Republicans that can be elected.

Speaker 5 (01:03:30):
In their districts.

Speaker 4 (01:03:31):
We need to give voters a reason to vote for Republicans.

Speaker 5 (01:03:35):
We need to figure out a way to.

Speaker 4 (01:03:36):
Convince young people that the Republican Party in Colorado is
something they want to be a part of and there's
so many arguments to be made right now, so many
about fiscal responsibility, about truly lowering the cost of living
by stripping away unnecessary roadblocks for affordable housing in government.

(01:03:59):
I mean, young people are bearing the brunt of these
price increases, and it's they're not making a lot of money.
Now's the perfect time for that messaging. And we don't
have anyone that is making or we haven't had anyone
that's making it. All right, we're gonna take a quick
time out and we're gonna come back and talk very
briefly about the new indictment by Jack Smith, the nakedly

(01:04:22):
political designed to give Kamala Harris an attack point indictment
of Donald Trump. And I just want you people to
remember one thing. The old adage you can indict a
ham sandwich is an adage for a reason.

Speaker 5 (01:04:35):
So Wolf introduction, Huh, that's going well?

Speaker 4 (01:04:39):
Why well? I mean, not well at all. We have
a story today that a family of wolves, Yes we
now have a family. Mom and dad Wolf had three
pups and there was some video released of the pups
playing in a puddle and it was super cute, super cute,
except they don't show.

Speaker 5 (01:04:58):
Them regularly killing livestock.

Speaker 4 (01:05:00):
This particular pair of wolves has figured out that any
sort of large group of livestock is essentially a wolf bluffe.
So they have been killing violently, killing cheap and cows,
and now the Colorado Parks and Wildlife says, whoopsie, we
are going to take these. They call them the Copper

(01:05:22):
Creek Pack.

Speaker 5 (01:05:24):
That's like a cool.

Speaker 4 (01:05:24):
Gang, name a rod.

Speaker 5 (01:05:26):
If we started a.

Speaker 4 (01:05:27):
Gang, we could call it the Copper Creek Pack, and
then we could get cool jackets. You know, I just.

Speaker 5 (01:05:32):
Watched Greece the other night, so very much in the
pink ladies mode. That's the sort you don't want to
be the Jets. No, I don't want to be the Jets.
I want to be the Copper Creek Pack.

Speaker 4 (01:05:48):
It sounds like a political organization though, like yeah, So
the Copper Creek Pack is going to be trapped and
relocated by Colorado Parks and Wildlife and CPW directors Jeff
Davis says the decision to capture relocate the Coppercrete Pack
was made with the careful consideration of multiple factors and

(01:06:09):
feedback from many different stakeholders. Our options in this unique
case were very limited, and this action is by no
means a precedent for how CPW will resolve wolf livestock
conflict moving forward. Now, the big question is where are
they going to move them to. They're not saying they

(01:06:32):
don't want.

Speaker 5 (01:06:33):
Well other ranchers who are about to.

Speaker 4 (01:06:37):
Get a pack of wolves dropped on them to be
able to complain.

Speaker 5 (01:06:40):
I think that's part of it.

Speaker 4 (01:06:42):
They're like, also for the wolf's safety. Well, the wolves
seem to be doing pretty good. I mean they're living
a high life. They're having babies, they're eating cattle, they're
eating cheap. Life is good, very very good. Do you
remember the did you watch Bugs money when you were
a kid? Please say God like actual bugs money, not

(01:07:04):
like bugsny, like real bugs money. Do you remember? Do
you remember the bugs bunny cartoon where it was the dog,
the sheep dog, guarding the sheep, and then the wolf
would come in and they would clock in and clock out.
That would be cool if we just had a really
good sheep dog that we could put on the clock,
it would keep the wolves away. But I think the

(01:07:25):
wolves would kill the sheep dog.

Speaker 5 (01:07:26):
That's the Problemabit season, it's rabbit season, yes it is.
They're supposed to one job it's wabbit season.

Speaker 4 (01:07:35):
What is the other dark.

Speaker 6 (01:07:38):
The same one and.

Speaker 4 (01:07:40):
Got the sheep dog cartoon?

Speaker 6 (01:07:42):
Not that way, Okay, go ahead, rabbit season, duck seasonabbit season,
duck season, duck season, rabbit season.

Speaker 4 (01:07:49):
There you go. But it's usually the other way because Daffy,
let's be real, day's not that bright. I mean, as
far as cartoon characters go, you don't want to be Daffy.

Speaker 5 (01:07:58):
You know, if you had to be.

Speaker 6 (01:07:59):
A cartoon character, who would be of any cartoon anything,
just like.

Speaker 4 (01:08:04):
Actual Saturday morning cartoons, not like you know, Marvels.

Speaker 5 (01:08:08):
As a proud Metro State road runner, you'd be the roadrunner.
I think I've told this story on the air.

Speaker 4 (01:08:17):
When I was in high school, when I was a
JV cheerleader at homecoming, the varsity cheerleaders made us stress
up like stuff, and they made us stress.

Speaker 5 (01:08:26):
Up like Loney Tunes characters.

Speaker 4 (01:08:27):
And I had to be the road runner because I
was tall, and my mom made me a roadrunner costume
that was so good. It was so humiliating, so humilating.

Speaker 5 (01:08:37):
I am the road runner and you are my wiley.

Speaker 4 (01:08:40):
Well, no, then I'm gonna be stuff like running into
the side of a mountain. Exactly and blowing myself up
with TNT.

Speaker 5 (01:08:47):
I mean I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:08:48):
I do not want to be the coyote. That's a terrible,
terrible cartoon. If I leave a cartoon character, I would
be the Tasmanian devil exactly, because you just you just
randomly like roll around, like roll through stuff and people
get out of your way. That would be as a mess.
Your wife's a mess?

Speaker 5 (01:09:05):
Why is it a mess? You're Taz.

Speaker 4 (01:09:08):
But it's just implied sound like stability to you. It
could be accurate. Hey, Rod, I couldn't. This is my Taz,
is my spirit animal. Honestly, I'd be Bugs, of course.
I mean Bugs is the king of all cartoon garried. Yeah, anyway,

(01:09:29):
I posted my question on the Twitter, by the way,
about who elevated Kamala Harris and this person. Yeah, it's
almost like he was vice president or something, you know,
like next in line.

Speaker 5 (01:09:39):
Who knows.

Speaker 4 (01:09:40):
Okay, So if Trump wins, then we can just automatically
make jd Vance the VP, or you can just make
him the candidate.

Speaker 5 (01:09:50):
Why not? Why have a primary? Why have a primary?

Speaker 4 (01:09:54):
When we get back, I have so much stuff, We're
going to do a two minute drill and then we're
gonna jump into a bunch of other stuff, including if
you're living a boring life, I'm gonna fix it for
you today.

Speaker 5 (01:10:07):
We'll do that next.

This will take longer than two minutes.

Speaker 8 (01:10:46):
Are you out?

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
Here's Mandy Condall.

Speaker 4 (01:10:50):
All right, guys, if you are interested in a weight
loss drug but the cost has been holding you back,
well good news. The cost is about to plummet because
Eli Lilly has announced that it will sell single use
of vials of its weight loss drug zet Bound, at
a fraction of the price of its pens. What is
a fraction, Well, a month of zet Bound, which is

(01:11:11):
one of the weight loss drugs in that class, will
cost you three ninety nine, which is a quarter of
what some people are being expected to pay. This is
in response to the fact that many compound pharmacies have
been making these drugs and sending them out in vile
form and requiring people to use a needle to draw
the rite amount, and all of a sudden, the drug

(01:11:31):
companies are like, wait a minute, people can do that.
So Eli Lilly is the first to announce this. I
fully expected to start a bit of a price war
on these drugs because too many people want them. They
are too expensive, and now the price is going to
come down. So if you've been waiting, just wait no longer.
It's all coming down to drill it too. So fifteen

(01:11:55):
must say Fallow movies include so many remakes it's not
even funny. Beatlejuice, Beetlejuice. We've got Actually, I should say
that they got a Transformers movie. Uh, you got Megalopolis,
you got Wild Robot, you got Joker Part two that
is going to introduce Harley Quinn. You got a Lego

(01:12:16):
movie about Farrell Williams. I actually kind of want to
see that. Terrifier three. Have you seen these Terrifier movies?

Speaker 7 (01:12:23):
I have?

Speaker 5 (01:12:25):
It is ruthless.

Speaker 4 (01:12:27):
It's terrible, absolutely terrible. But you can see all of
them on the blog today at mandy'sblog dot com.

Speaker 5 (01:12:33):
But what I would recommend is.

Speaker 4 (01:12:35):
That before you go pay money to see any movie
at all, you go over to Hollywood in Toto, our
friend Christian Toto's website. They review all of them from
a right leaning perspective, and you need that before you
pay the money. All right, too, if I could have
a moment to be a little braggadocious on my county,

(01:12:55):
my home county of Douglas County. Douglas County was ranked
the third healthiest county in America.

Speaker 5 (01:13:04):
You heard me right. Studies show that Douglas.

Speaker 4 (01:13:07):
County has been one of Colorado's top two healthiest since
twenty eleven, keeps proving the point. In Douglas County ninety
they scored a ninety five percent across ten categories. It
ranks highest in the economy one hundred percent and population
health ninety three percent, but lowest in housing fifty six
percent and public safety seventy percent. Now, as a doug

(01:13:30):
Coe resident, I was like safety, there is no issue
with crime, but we don't have a lot of police
officers because we don't have a lot of crime. So
I'm doing my part with the soda weight loss plan
to keep my weight under control and be healthy, to
be part of the healthiest third healthiest county in the country.
Way to go, Douglas County. Rill it too well, we

(01:13:53):
got a new thing that's gonna kill us all. It
is the or a puchet virus, or a pouch virus,
or a or a push I don't know how to
say that. It is another mosquito born illness. It is
prominent in South America. Infections are now spreading in countries
where it hasn't been seen before, and dozens of travel
related cases have been reported in the United States and Europe.

(01:14:15):
It is another disease that gives these sort of non
specific illness signs like fever, chills, headache, muscle pain, joint stiffness.

Speaker 10 (01:14:25):
And so on.

Speaker 4 (01:14:26):
Now it can be very, very serious, but hopefully we
will not have a huge outbreak here. But can we
all just take a moment and agree that mosquitoes are
the worst animal on the planet. Do you know that
mosquitoes kill more people every year than any other single
cause because they spread malaria, They spread West Nile virus,

(01:14:48):
they spread this virus, They spread all.

Speaker 5 (01:14:50):
Of these diseases that kill people.

Speaker 4 (01:14:52):
Mosquitoes suck, and I mean that both literally and figuratively.
It too if you are one who likes to drive
up into the mountains to do a little aspen. Leaf
peep in Dan West, the Colorado State Forest Service entomologist
based in Fort Collins, is mister Aspen. He says that
we are set up for perfect aspen viewing a carbon

(01:15:15):
copy of last year, it looks like this. The third
week of September. The northern Mountains, including a Rapo and
Roosevelt National Forests, Rocky Mountain National Park, and the area
around Steamboat Springs will be in full aspen glory late
September to early October. The I seventy Corridor second week
of October. Southern Colorado, including the San Juans and the

(01:15:36):
Rio Grande River areas. There you go leaf Peeper's plan.
Accordingly a drill it too. And in a story that
I did not think I could hate more, Lego is
now vowing to go away from their petroleum based brick
product and move to renewable and recyclable plastic. Do you

(01:15:57):
know what that also means? Way more expensive? I don't
know if you guys bought yourself a Lego Kit recently,
but they are ridiculously expensive.

Speaker 5 (01:16:06):
For what you actually get.

Speaker 4 (01:16:07):
I mean, where's the last time you bought a Lego Kit?

Speaker 5 (01:16:09):
There a rod been a long time.

Speaker 4 (01:16:11):
We buy him his birthday gifts and you're like, what
the blankety blank am I spending thirty.

Speaker 5 (01:16:16):
Dollars on Millennium Falcon or new mortgage?

Speaker 8 (01:16:19):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (01:16:20):
It's getting that bad. Now when you step on a
Lego brick in the middle of the night, at least
you know it'll be sustainable and far more expensive than
it used to be because green energy only raises the
prices on everything. Now, one last poy, I talked over
the guy after it hit the button, like a more on.
So Politico is the latest news organization run cover for

(01:16:42):
Kamala Harris. The headline on Twitter on x was our
corrupt leadership Vance tries to tether Harris to Biden.

Speaker 5 (01:16:51):
During a Michigan rally.

Speaker 4 (01:16:52):
Community Notes kicked in and pointed out Harris is currently
Joe Biden's vice president. Way to go, Politico, Way to go.
I wonder if that counts as a campaign endorsement. That,
my friends, is your two minute trill. Now when we
get that, Oh, by the way. We have a video today,
and do we know that this is his house? A Rod?

Speaker 5 (01:17:13):
Are we sure it looks like what I've seen of
his house? I believe yes.

Speaker 4 (01:17:17):
So bo Nick's bought himself a sweet, sweet sweet place
in Castle Rock. That's got to be a nerving to
have everybody know, you know, oh, here's your house, here's
where you live. I don't know if it's a gated
community or not, but it's quite quite the lovely abode.

Speaker 6 (01:17:32):
A confirm the pictures also from our friends of Fox
Starty one that looks like that is his house, So I.

Speaker 4 (01:17:38):
Hope he lives there for a very long time. A
Rod happily successfully. And I want to clarify something that
came in on the text line in the cartoon with
the sheep dog, Ralph the wolf and Sam the sheep dog.

Speaker 5 (01:17:52):
Ralph is a wolf. He is not a coyote.

Speaker 4 (01:17:54):
The only coyote in Bugs Bunny is Wiley coyote, which
is why we all know that it is operaly pronounced kyote,
because Wiley doesn't rhyme with kyote. Just throwing that out
there is a point of order. But Ralph was a
wolf and Sam was the sheep dog. So there are

(01:18:15):
a few confused people, Mandy, Lots of African lives could
have been saved with DDT, but white liberals don't care. Correct,
absolutely correct. In New Orleans, the city and the swamp
can rid itself of mosquitoes, why can't we. I can
assure you that maybe on Bourbon Street they've gotten rid
of the mosquitoes, but New Orleans has not rid.

Speaker 5 (01:18:36):
Itself of mosquitoes, not in the least, no way.

Speaker 4 (01:18:40):
No how you know what's funny? People in Florida, where
mosquitoes are as big as a house. We don't get
West Nile virus, we don't get equine encephalitis, we don't
get these mosquito born illnesses. And the only thing I
can think is we've been bitten so many times, we're
all immune from it. We'll be right back.

Speaker 5 (01:18:57):
It's today, Tuesday or Wednesday. And I mean that genuinely.

Speaker 4 (01:18:59):
For second, okay, just check in, because for a second
it fell like Tuesday. It fell like Tuesday, just for
a second, and I was like, please let it be Wednesday,
and it is.

Speaker 6 (01:19:08):
I did almost play Tuesday's gone as a bumper, So
really I did just think about it, like, wait, it's Wednesday.

Speaker 4 (01:19:14):
It is Wednesday. I have a story on the blog
today that, as a person who loves to travel, hurts
my heart, but I get it.

Speaker 5 (01:19:23):
The headline from.

Speaker 4 (01:19:24):
The CNN article how it all went Wrong for tourism,
And it's about various cities around the world that are
grappling with being over touristed, and some of them are
taking some very interesting kind of strategies to deal with this.

(01:19:48):
But first I want to talk about why these places
are feeling so put upon by too many tourists. And
it has to do with the behavior of tourists. And
I am not gonna sit here and tell you that
it is all American bad behavior, because it is not.

Speaker 5 (01:20:04):
Let me tell you something about Asian travelers.

Speaker 4 (01:20:06):
And yes, I'm going to make sweeping generalizations, and I'm
sure that there are Asian travelers who do not fall
into the category of what I'm about to say. Asian
travelers do not understand how to get into a line,
so they all.

Speaker 5 (01:20:19):
Just mash forward.

Speaker 4 (01:20:21):
And let me tell you something. When you're traveling in
the UK, they love a good queue. They love a
line in the UK, and it's very civilized. American tourists,
we have our own quirks and you know, foibles, We're loud,
We tend to stick out when we travel because of
the way we're dressed and honestly because of how fat

(01:20:41):
we are. Like you go to Europe, you can pick
out the Americans just because they're huge. But this is
all unnecessary if everyone would adopt the standards that I
and many others have used, which is do no harm right,
represent country, well, go to learn about the culture. Don't

(01:21:03):
complain about things that are different. That's a big thing
Americans do. They don't put us in your drink. Well,
you're in a different country. One thing I think it
is okay to complain about at this moment in time
is the lack of air conditioning quality air conditioning in Europe.
And you know, as things get hotter, because we're now
coming fully out of the last little ice age, as

(01:21:25):
things get hotter, Europe is going to be flippin' miserable.
All the stories that came out during the Paris Olympics,
our athletes actually took air conditioning units with them to Paris,
but all the other athletes who didn't have that foresight
were miserable, just absolutely miserable. But listen to what they're doing.

(01:21:47):
Venice has started charging day trippers an entry fee into
their town. Another Swiss town has announced it wants to
follow a suit. Locals are staging protests Andorca and Barcelona Barsalona.
Spain has really had a moment in tourism as of late.
I wanted to go to Spain for a long time,

(01:22:08):
but I'm waiting for that moment to die down. Well,
it's come to a head in Europe. This is not
just a European phenomenon. A Japanese town that overlooks Mount
Fuji erected view blocking barriers in May. Of course they
remove them in August. Now, if you want to see
Mount Fuji, you need to go on the Mandiconnal Adventure,
because we're going to see Mount Fuji, but not from

(01:22:28):
this town where they're blocking the view.

Speaker 5 (01:22:30):
I already checked.

Speaker 4 (01:22:33):
US national parks are full to bursting, and increased enthusiasm
has not correlated with increased respect for the landscape. You
all know how I feel about people going into our
national parks and spray painting their freaking initials, are knocking
over rocks or doing all the other dumb ass stuff
that city people do when they go to our national parks.

(01:22:53):
But this is we have to be better as travelers.
We're loving these places to death.

Speaker 5 (01:23:01):
And this article is really.

Speaker 4 (01:23:02):
Interesting talking about how the travel industry itself has kind
of created this environment and even suggesting that the travel
industry needs to be better regulated. I don't know who's
going to regulate it if I have a travel company
in the United States, and I don't want to live
under the regulations of a foreign country. But at the
same time, I want to make sure that I'm not
disrupting things as little or as little as possible. It's

(01:23:25):
a fascinating story, but if you travel, just don't be
a jerk.

Speaker 5 (01:23:29):
That's the takeaway here.

Speaker 4 (01:23:31):
When we get back. If you're leading a boring life,
I'm gonna fix it today right after this. I had
this story on the blog yesterday and I didn't get
to it, but I want to get to it today
because it kind of made me, uh, I don't know,
a little bummed for people who are living let's just
call them NPC lives to use some of your vernacular now.

(01:23:51):
An NPC is a non player character in a game.
And if you saw the movie Free Guy, which now
has become my new national Treasure for about ten years
when we were doing stuff in the house and you
have the TV on as your emotional support TV, you
know what I'm talking about, and National Treasure was on.

Speaker 5 (01:24:09):
We were just put on National Treasure.

Speaker 4 (01:24:11):
Well now Free Guy has become the National Treasure of
the twenty twenties.

Speaker 2 (01:24:17):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:24:17):
So it's a great movie. But the whole premise of
the movie is that Ryan Reynolds is a non player
character and then all of a sudden he becomes sentient.
He becomes a main energy, a main character, energy kind
of character. And I saw this story and I was
kind of bummed out about it. A new survey reveals

(01:24:37):
an average person dreams of new adventures four times a day.
A new survey I also found that forty two is
the perfect age to embark on an adventure, with over
one third of Americans saying they have an increased sense
of adventure they've as they've grown older. And the survey
revealed that over a quarter of Americans feel they fallen

(01:25:00):
into a rut, with one in four respondents admitting.

Speaker 5 (01:25:03):
Their life is a bit boring.

Speaker 4 (01:25:06):
In fact, the average respondent fantasizes about going on an
adventure four times every day. But only ten percent felt
they could be adventurous in their current life on any day.
So I want to tell you what I did when
I turned forty. So I decided it was going to
be my year of Yes. Anything I got invited to do,

(01:25:28):
I was going to do it, all right. Jim Carrey, Well,
I mean, is that a thing?

Speaker 5 (01:25:32):
Was that Jim Carrey movie? What movie?

Speaker 11 (01:25:34):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:25:34):
No, I never saw it?

Speaker 4 (01:25:35):
Whoa, I never saw it.

Speaker 5 (01:25:38):
I'll watch it sometimes.

Speaker 4 (01:25:39):
Jim Carrey annoys me, though. Sometimes he's too much Jim
Carrey for me. That one's good, you know, eire has
to be completely over the top, like the Mask or
Hayes Ventura yep, or completely in the other direction. I
love Truman Show a great movie. Bruce Almighty another one.
But sometimes when he's kind of like.

Speaker 5 (01:25:58):
In between, don't love yes Man's a great one?

Speaker 4 (01:26:03):
Is it a good one?

Speaker 5 (01:26:04):
Very good? Okay, I'll check it out.

Speaker 4 (01:26:05):
But I meet When I was forty, I the year
of yes, and I did things that year that I
genuinely did not want to do.

Speaker 5 (01:26:13):
I repelled down a building for charity.

Speaker 4 (01:26:16):
I did not enjoy that, and I've done it again.
My friend Edie Marks asked me to do it for
one of her charities, and I was like, Okay, Edie,
just because it's you, I'll do it again. I did
it here. It's terrifying for me. I mean, some people
love it. I'm like, no, it's terrifying. But I kept
saying yes to all these things. I got invited to

(01:26:37):
speak in front of organizations that I've normally wouldn't have
and I went and did all of it, and just
doing those little things of just saying yes instead of no,
because I think that for me and maybe this is
just me, and maybe you're there too, Okay, maybe we're
all in this situation. Do you find yourself when someone says, hey, do.

Speaker 2 (01:26:56):
You want it?

Speaker 4 (01:26:57):
Like, before they even say what they're about to say,
I'm already formulating an excuse not to do it in
the back of my head. But instead of even thinking
about it, I was like, Yep, let's do it. And
it turned out to be a really amazing year of
my life doing things I wouldn't normally have done, and

(01:27:18):
I got to meet some really cool people because of it.
But it just sort of cemented for me that sometimes
saying yes to something you really don't want to do
is the best way to shake up your life. And
I'm wondering how many of you are out there thinking
I'm stuck in a rut. And it's easy to get
in a rut. Holy mackerel. We all have lives, we
have kids, we have jobs, we have responsibilities, we have routine.

(01:27:42):
Routine is incredibly critical to give your brain time to
think about something else.

Speaker 1 (01:27:47):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:27:48):
Routine is a thing that takes the discussion out of
certain things. It's kind of like when you brush your
teeth in the morning. Nobody ever gets up, well, maybe
you do. Normal people don't get up and go God,
you know, I have to brush my teeth. How can
I talk myself out and brushing my teeth now? To
put this in context, working out is a better example

(01:28:09):
of this. How many of you have struggled to create
a working out habit because you get up you're like, oh.

Speaker 5 (01:28:15):
I don't feel like doing this today, I'm tired. I
can work out later.

Speaker 4 (01:28:20):
Knowing you won't work out later, but as soon as
you just commit to it becoming a habit and saying
working out is now non negotiable. Working out is what
I do at six o'clock in the morning when I
take my dog for a walk or it's nine o'clock
in the morning when I work out with weights. It
is a non negotiable thing that just frees up your
brain to think about other stuff. But if you're feeling

(01:28:41):
like you're in a rut, the only way to change
that is if you do something out of the rut.
Chuck and I when we first got married before actually
we did this with q when she was a little baby,
but then his kids get older, it gets harder.

Speaker 5 (01:28:56):
But now she doesn't care what we do during the day.

Speaker 4 (01:28:58):
And on Saturday, I looked at check in the morning
said hey, do you just want to go drive around
and look in stores?

Speaker 5 (01:29:04):
And he was like, heck, yeah, so this is it.
Do you and Jocelyn ever do this?

Speaker 4 (01:29:07):
We just say we need something. We need one item, right,
I need to go to this store and pick up
one item. Well near that store, And this is a
perfect example. Saturday, we needed to go to Tony's Meat Market.

Speaker 8 (01:29:18):
If you've never.

Speaker 4 (01:29:19):
Gotten a steak from Tony's, man oh man, just outstanding
big products at Tony's. But we actually went there to
see if they have Portuguese sausage because we're having people
over for a pizza party. This weekend and he wants
to make a real Hawaiian pizza and it requires Portuguese sausage.
So if we go to Tony's Market in Castle Pines,

(01:29:39):
not thinking about the fact there's a massive golf tournament there.
So we get into Tony's. That was fine, we got
our stuff. We spent way too much money at Tony's Market. Well,
we got our steaks and they were better than the
steak we had in Chicago.

Speaker 5 (01:29:54):
I'm just letting you know.

Speaker 4 (01:29:55):
That they're that good a rod so if you want
to splurge, they were almost as expense No, not quite,
They're about half as expensive as the stakes.

Speaker 5 (01:30:03):
In Chicago, but they were better.

Speaker 4 (01:30:04):
So after that we were kind of in Castle Pines
and then we just started driving around and going to stores.
We went to Whole Foods.

Speaker 5 (01:30:11):
We walked around the Whole Foods for a while.

Speaker 4 (01:30:13):
We walked around Marshalls and we're not really actually buying anything,
we're just walking around. It sounds like a dumb thing,
but it doesn't get you out of the rut of.

Speaker 5 (01:30:23):
What you're doing.

Speaker 4 (01:30:24):
So wondering if you guys want to text me at
five six, six nine, oh, I will give you something
to do. If you're in a rut, you may not
like it, but you you may do it. Yes, man
is terrible zero out of five stars.

Speaker 5 (01:30:42):
Oh disagree, disagree, Amandy. You would like it?

Speaker 4 (01:30:45):
You and Chuck, then I will watch. Well, let me
just say this about my husband's tasting movie Aeron. I
mean he might.

Speaker 5 (01:30:54):
I'm not saying he wouldn't because I've never seen the movie.

Speaker 4 (01:30:56):
But Chuck's taste in movies is very specific. If the
bad guy doesn't get what he deserves in the end,
and the good guy doesn't get the girl, Chuck is
not interested.

Speaker 5 (01:31:06):
You would love yes, ma'am okay, good, then that's fine.

Speaker 4 (01:31:10):
But if you need something to get you out of
the rut, I'm here for you, so you can text
me at five sixty six nine oho. Or conversely, if
you felt yourself in a rut and yanked yourself out.

Speaker 5 (01:31:22):
I want to know This person said money is the issue.

Speaker 4 (01:31:25):
No, it's not. There's so many free things to do
in Colorado it's not even funny. Have you done them all?
Have you done every single trail? Have you done every
single activity? Have you gone to the parks? Have you
had a picnic? It doesn't have to be earth shattering people.
It just needs to be something different that you haven't

(01:31:46):
done before. This person said, when I was forty, my buddy,
who's a tower climber, brought me up in the elevator
of the seventeen hundred foot Cumulus radio tower in DFW.
I have never had a desire to go up into
a radio tower. That is not a thing I want
to do at all, at all. This person, I became

(01:32:10):
a nurse when I was forty two. I love people
who have massive career changes in midlife because, when you
think about it, forty two, you probably have another forty
years of life. You have another thirty years of actual
workable time when you're gonna be in the workforce.

Speaker 2 (01:32:25):
Why not.

Speaker 4 (01:32:27):
Mandy finally said yes to going on a cruise with
my parents after many years of being reluctant.

Speaker 5 (01:32:32):
Best trip ever.

Speaker 4 (01:32:34):
I'm now looked on cruising and grateful that I got
to experience it with my parents exactly. There once was
a man in a rut that sounds like the beginning
of a limerick, and I don't know the rest of it.
So if it's dirty, sorry, oh my gosh, everybody. Nick
ferguson blazing a trail in here.

Speaker 5 (01:32:49):
What do you do with Nick?

Speaker 4 (01:32:51):
You got your backpack on. You look like you're ready
to go to school. Oh, you got your hat on?

Speaker 2 (01:32:56):
Yes, to school.

Speaker 5 (01:32:58):
It's usually when I you I ended up going to school. Yes,
and there you go. I like, thank you for that.
I appreciate that.

Speaker 4 (01:33:05):
Yes. So I'm working on my knee issue so we
can get to our speedwalking contest. I have an MRI
on Friday.

Speaker 5 (01:33:11):
I think I have a torn meniscus. That's what the
doctor said.

Speaker 4 (01:33:13):
Well, I've done that twice.

Speaker 5 (01:33:15):
Yeah, so did you have surgery on it twice?

Speaker 4 (01:33:19):
No, I'm not doing that because if it's not a
full rupture, I'm going to go to Regen Revolution and
just have them shoot it up and heal it that way.

Speaker 2 (01:33:25):
PRP.

Speaker 5 (01:33:26):
Yeah, I'm surgery adverse.

Speaker 1 (01:33:29):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:33:30):
I've had a couple. I had a C section for
my daughter that was very dramatic. Okay, it did not
enamore me to surgery.

Speaker 5 (01:33:37):
It was it was a whole thing.

Speaker 4 (01:33:38):
And then I had sinus surgery, which anybody in this
audience that has had sinus surgery knows now Now, apparently
sin a surgery. They don't shove the sticks into your
face that stay there for a week while you suffer.

Speaker 5 (01:33:50):
But I just I'm not down with surgery.

Speaker 4 (01:33:52):
You know, like I had to go have a colon
oscar because I'm fifty five and you got to do
responsible things. I did that.

Speaker 5 (01:33:57):
It no big deal, you know it really the prep sucks,
Yeah it does.

Speaker 7 (01:34:02):
And uh, the moment they told me to.

Speaker 5 (01:34:04):
Count back, oh you're done, Yeah, yeah, I woke up
and recovery.

Speaker 4 (01:34:11):
Yes, yes, Mandy, I got into a rut, so I
started going on the Mandy Connell trips.

Speaker 5 (01:34:15):
Now that is a rut buster.

Speaker 4 (01:34:17):
Nick, do you ever get get in a rut? Do
you ever feel like you're just like doing the same
thing every day, repetitively and it just grinds you down.

Speaker 7 (01:34:25):
Yeah. But in the world of sports, we called we
don't call it a rut buster. It's like a slumpbuster
because you're.

Speaker 4 (01:34:32):
In the slump. Well, I heard stories about slump busters
with baseball players.

Speaker 8 (01:34:37):
Are totally different.

Speaker 4 (01:34:38):
Yeah, so we're not different. We're not doing that. Yeah,
that's totally because the one that I heard is not uh,
not good for this program.

Speaker 5 (01:34:46):
You can't about that, and it wasn't me.

Speaker 4 (01:34:48):
I'm just you know, letting you know.

Speaker 5 (01:34:50):
But but what do you do to shake things up.

Speaker 7 (01:34:54):
Wow, for me to shake things uh, you know, I
feel as though I have to go do some form
of of a workout. It's not really intensive because due
to my injuries, I can't do all that those things anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:35:07):
But with something that kind of kind of.

Speaker 7 (01:35:09):
Jogged me back into reality.

Speaker 4 (01:35:12):
Yeah yeah, kind of ground you. Yes, Okay, So that
I can really appreciate because it throughout my entire life
and growing up in Florida, we didn't wear shoes for the.

Speaker 5 (01:35:23):
Summer, and I'm not and we didn't live like in
the in the woods.

Speaker 4 (01:35:26):
We lived in a nice name, but we just didn't
wear shoes because you just didn't wear shoes in Florida,
because you could go jump in a pool or spring
or whatever at any given moment. Shoes just got in
the way. So we didn't wear shoes a lot. And
now even today, when I'm feeling sort of discombobulated, I
take off my shoes and I go walk in the grass.

Speaker 5 (01:35:41):
And there's a whole science behind that, and it's now
like grounding.

Speaker 4 (01:35:44):
Now they call it grounding, but it's just like feeling
the the the earth and the grass beneath my feet.
Somehow makes me feel more centered and like, Okay, whatever
i'm you know, whatever's got me shaken up is going
to be okay. And if I am in a stressful
if I'm angry about something, I will go for a

(01:36:05):
walk and the kind of walk where I just keep
walking and then I have to call Chuck and say,
you got to dumping me up because I walk too
far and I'm too tired to come back to the house.
So it's it's funny. It is sometimes moving your body though,
you know, and kind of reconnecting yourself.

Speaker 7 (01:36:20):
The grownding thing is something real because my wife would
always suggest that for me and the kids, and I'm like,
I'm not taking my shoes off.

Speaker 4 (01:36:27):
See my husband in that same way.

Speaker 3 (01:36:29):
Why not?

Speaker 4 (01:36:30):
You don't like to feel the grass between your toes?
I have shoes for no, do that. No, you're separated
from the earth. You're separated from mother Earth. I'm disappointed.
Like rabbits and dogs, like like your feet washable. Your
feet are washable, entirely washable. But mentally I.

Speaker 2 (01:36:48):
Can't deal with that.

Speaker 4 (01:36:49):
Taking my shoes off.

Speaker 5 (01:36:50):
Walking in someone else's poop is literally being the get
off my long guy. Right, you're just saying I mean,
to a rod, you take up his shoes a walking poop.
I mean, you don't know if there's something to look
out for the poop.

Speaker 4 (01:37:05):
Something dog is pooped in that grass years ago. You
don't know, you watch for the poop. You're not walking
into a pileot dog poop.

Speaker 7 (01:37:13):
Mentally, I can't deal with that because I got to
put my feet back in my socks and my shoes.

Speaker 5 (01:37:19):
Good for your your house. Just let your wife know
I have her back on that one.

Speaker 4 (01:37:25):
So I got a couple of people texting in forty
four and wife wants a kid. Is that considered a rotbuster?
Oh boy, that's a rotbuster? Do you have a kid?

Speaker 5 (01:37:35):
Let me just say this.

Speaker 4 (01:37:37):
I had a child at almost forty. I was almost
forty when I had my daughter. Pregnancy is a young
woman's game.

Speaker 5 (01:37:43):
Okay, it is not fun. At the end of my pregnancy, Nick,
this is the true story.

Speaker 4 (01:37:47):
I'm in my bathroom and I squatted down to get
something out from underneath the cabinet and was unable to
stand back up by myself. I had to call my
son into the bathroom. So I'm squatty. I'm like I'm squatting.
I'm hugely pregnant. I'm squatting and I'm like, oh my god,
if I try to stand up, I'm going to like
falling in my hand on the toilet and die. It's

(01:38:10):
just because my knees are shot. You know, you don't
think about that kind of stuff. Yeah's acause that position
that no problem. Right back up there you go. I
tried the grounding sheet. I sleep better now from what
I understand and textter can uh let me know there's
now a sheet that has a wire. I think that

(01:38:32):
like attatch outside what it's a thing? I think I
I think that's what it is.

Speaker 3 (01:38:40):
No.

Speaker 5 (01:38:41):
Yes, I love laying in the grass, just laying.

Speaker 4 (01:38:45):
There looking up at the tree canopy, looking at all
the patterns. It's just it's the best. I love doing
that too.

Speaker 7 (01:38:51):
But with a blanket.

Speaker 5 (01:38:52):
Oh my god, you are so prissy.

Speaker 4 (01:38:54):
I had no idea how prissy you are right now.

Speaker 5 (01:38:57):
You're just pretty had no idea the blanket.

Speaker 4 (01:39:01):
I'm doing the same thing that you're doing.

Speaker 5 (01:39:03):
Is you know you're not.

Speaker 4 (01:39:05):
You gotta feel the bugs on your back.

Speaker 5 (01:39:08):
No, I that doing that, doing my teen year career,
filling the grass. I don't want to do that again.

Speaker 4 (01:39:15):
A couple of people just graduating college twenty years after
high school count.

Speaker 5 (01:39:18):
It most assuredly does. That's shake it up.

Speaker 4 (01:39:21):
My husband's son and I went to the Polish festival
this last weekend. Had not done anything like that in
a long time, our twenty one year old son never had.
We had a great time. See, it's little.

Speaker 8 (01:39:30):
Things like that.

Speaker 5 (01:39:31):
Gotta shake it up, you gotta do something new. It
made me, said.

Speaker 4 (01:39:34):
There was a survey that said twenty four people think
that twenty four percent of Americans think they leave boring
lives and life is too short, y'all. We get one
spin on the big blue marble one. And if you
let life pass you by because you couldn't find the
time to go to a Polish festival or lie in
the grass or do any of these other things, you

(01:39:54):
are gonna get to your deathbed and be like, damn,
I wasted it.

Speaker 7 (01:39:58):
You know, there are some people who do heat to
generate excitement in the light.

Speaker 5 (01:40:02):
I don't encourage you. I don't do it. No, I
don't need that kind of excitement.

Speaker 8 (01:40:07):
No, no, I do not.

Speaker 4 (01:40:10):
I don't need that kind of like all that. No,
that just feels like work, you know what I mean,
Like juggling multiple I know, I've never understood people who
dated multiple people at the same time. It just seems difficult, challenging.
I don't have that kind of energy, never have people's
names and lies exactly, God lies.
