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 on KOAM ninety one FM.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
O god can threadne keeping sad thing.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Welcome, welcome, Welcome to and Tuesday feels like Monday. But
it's a four day work week, people, four days.

Speaker 4 (00:33):
We practically have three days left. Ay Rogers pointed out, correctly,
Oh no, I'm saying Thursday. Oh you're taking Friday off.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Ah, look at you, fancy Why did you take this
Tuesday off too and have a forty week?

Speaker 5 (00:47):
I didn't decide. Boss decided because I'm working on weekends.
So there you go.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
Then the other shoe drops there, it goes, there, it
goes on Mandy Connell.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
He is Anthony Rodriguez. You can call him a that
is a Monday or Tuesday. It feels like Monday. Airhorn
right there.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
Let's do the blog because I got so much stuff
on the blog today it's not even funny. And I
can't wait to get into this because it's gonna be
a really good show. And let's just jump in by
going to mandy'sblog dot com. That's Mandy's blog dot com.
Look for the latest posts. And I say this because like,
if you wait until later to go to the blog,
and you go to the latest posts, you're probably just
gonna see podcast podcast podcasts. You gotta scroll over to

(01:28):
the right because if you scroll and there's a little
scroller bar there on latest posts, you will see boom,
there's the blog.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
I didn't ask them to do this.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
For those of you that are complaining about the chair,
they didn't, Ay Rod, did they ask you?

Speaker 6 (01:41):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:41):
But I like it actually because it's a one stop
shop mandy'sblog dot com, podcasts, the posts, the blog, everything
is there any here.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
I said this, it's because no one else in this
entire company does what I do with the blog.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
No one. As a matter of fact, let me.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Just have a little let's just have a little congratu
litory moment before we get to the blog real quick.
So we're in the DNC in Chicago and there's all
all the iHeart people are are all bunched together, and
one of the guys works in iHeart Digital, like the
national iHeart and he was.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Like, Hey, what you do with your blog is amazing.
I look at it every day. It just gets so good.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
And I was like, well, thank you very much, important
person whose name I do not know right, Yes.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Anyway, go to latest posts.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
Just click on whatever says nine three twenty four blog
help for rural teachers and a buddy bot for us.
All click on that and here are the headlines you
will you will find within.

Speaker 6 (02:37):
I think you miss in office half of American all
with ships and clipmas and say that's going to press plats.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
Today on the blog if you teach in a rural area,
listen up our futurest Thomas Frye is talking about the
future of companionship. W are younger people obsessed with staying
friends with your ex?

Speaker 3 (02:55):
Hamas murdered six hostages.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Kamala goes all in on her blackness and about her
being a tough prosecutor on the border. Let's see NBC
News forced to correct its fact check scrolling.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
It's because Kamala is so fake.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Governor Gaslight makes the news and no, the Hell's Angels
aren't coming. The Colorado GOP meeting Saturday was beyond stupid.
Vegans want to kill jobs in Denver in low income areas.
Casabanina is done with invites sprouts. Rock is the newest
castle rock tourist destination, Antidy, President's Cocaine and thc oh

(03:30):
my Denver bands, food trucks in Lodo. It's the second
hottest summer since eighteen seventy two in Denver, vote for
the best food and in power Field, how about a
road trip to see some aspens. Democrat lawmakers are unhappy.
They have to listen to the people. China is suppressing
free speech on US soil, getting shot in the movies.
Let me fix this headline summer. Oh wait a minute, hang,

(03:53):
Oh that's what happened. Okay, how different people take a picture?
Just a guy and his drums. It's pumpkin patch time.
We lot of kids all the time, don't we. Hey,
whatever gets you moving?

Speaker 3 (04:04):
Am I right?

Speaker 4 (04:05):
Those are the headlines on the blog at Mandy's blog
dot com. And I had a little bit of when
I was doing the blog earlier. I had a little
situation where things got squirrely and I had to close
out of the program and open it back up because
they got so squarely. And that's the mid time is
hard well sometimes and I don't know if it's just
a gift that I have being able to break things

(04:26):
that are that are technologically related gifts yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
I mean for some it's a.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
Curse, but for me it's a gift, right it is.
And I'm just wondering if that's what happens.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
But no, I don't know. If I if I.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Type too fast or I go to hit the bold
key too hard, I don't know. But in any case,
it messed up a big chunk of the blog. But
I'll fix it here in just a second. So don't
you worry your pretty little heads about that.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
Now. We have a couple of guests coming up today.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
I know that we have a lot of people out
on the Eastern planes who are driving around and your
tractors and your trucks in your combines doing your farming,
listening to the show, and for you, I am grateful.
But I wasn't just bringing that up. I wanted to
make a point. I have a guest today coming on
from the Nathan Yipp Foundation, and they give grants to

(05:17):
teachers in rural areas so they can buy things for
their classrooms. They can buy, you know, reading programs, they
can supplement what they get.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
In their rural classrooms.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Because rural areas do not have the same tax base
that urban areas have, they don't have density, they don't
have as many people paying those taxes as we have
in urban areas.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
So rural schools often struggle.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
They're having a terrible time keeping teachers, just a terrible
time because competitively, you can come closer to the city
and make a whole lot more money. Of course, your
living expenses go up dramatically, but nonetheless I love this
program and you can apply until September thirteenth. So we're
going to talk with Nathan Yipp Foundation Executive director Jill

(06:02):
Shinkle Henwood at twelve thirty about how to apply for
those grants, and then our futurist Thomas Fry.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Is coming on at one o'clock. A rod would you
have a robot buddy in what capacity?

Speaker 5 (06:15):
Like they are strictly like your friend, or they are
to help you in any way that you need for
like daily tasks kind of yes, Now you're a ladder, well.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
All of the ladders. Yes, Okay, I want to go back.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
Do you know what the old time concept of a
man having a valet, and I don't mean the guy
who parks your car. Do you know what a valet
did and probably still does When you have enough money,
you have a valet.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
A valet is simply there to attend to your needs.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
You don't know what you want to wear today, the
valet will lay out several outfits and let you choose,
and then the valet says, what would you like for breakfast?
And the valet goes and gets your breakfast and sort
of there to attend to all of your personal needs
as they arise, right so that the buddy bought would
be part valet and then part buddy, right like like,
just imagine a rod having a robot that knew every

(07:05):
single piece of minutia about the Marvel universe, all of it, Nope,
from the very beginning, and then also loved sports and
also loved karaoke.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Weird, still weird.

Speaker 5 (07:20):
I am all and you know me, I am all
in on most tech, but I would rely only on that.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
For you like to be more human? Way, don't you think? No, no, no, no,
hang out with a human word robot.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
I want that wall there, the clear separation, and they
clearly just help with tasks, help me in kind of
easing the burden of some.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Of the slave Yeah, pretty much. Okay, I.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
Don't need a robot friend, I need a robot that
can help me do things.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
Here's why I love And we're going to talk to
our futureist Thomas Fry about on.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
The opposite side of this, you really would want to
robot friend. I would have a robot friend.

Speaker 5 (07:58):
I mean, I think sky it's take over the fact
that we are on this side of this arguments right.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Well, for see, here's the thing you should the opposite
of this. Let's look at it.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
And maybe not for you and me, right, but as
people get older, one of the most horrible parts of
getting older is the loneliness. Because your peer group starts
to die. You're not as mobile, maybe you lose the
ability to drive, and you have a harder time getting
around because of a medical issue.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
You're not normally you're Mandy Connell. You don't You're not lonely.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
I'm not saying now, I'm saying I think about my
mother in law. My mother in law was an extremely
social person, and then on came COVID, right, and she
was ninety one when COVID happened, ninety two when COVID happened,
and the world shut down, and I'm pretty sure that's
why she's dead.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Granted she would be ninety five now, but.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
It was like, you know, she was the isolation just
killed her.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
And I mean that literally. And so many older people.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
Talk about how lonely they are, and as you and
my mom and I have these conversations. You know, my
mom's best friend of over sixty years just passed away
fairly recently, and my mom said to me, it feels
like a part of your history dies when that happens. Now,
imagine that you could have a robot buddy that can
not only assist with daily tasks, right, they can help

(09:12):
older people get dressed, they can help them get breakfast,
things of that nature.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
But then they could be programmed with.

Speaker 4 (09:18):
With all of the visual memories of like my hometown
when my mom was there, and you could have conversations
about things that happened in history with the robot buddy because.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
All of your peer group is dead. That was the
other thing. My mother in law was ninety one.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
She said, there's no one to talk about my youth
with because everybody that was there is dead.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Well that's different. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I
just the whole concept is so cool.

Speaker 5 (09:41):
Yes, And when technology allows and you guys get older,
you can upload Chuck's mental everything acuity to a bot
half Chuck Bot.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
So when Chuck goes, I only need one Chuck. I
need it for my life.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
I know I need one Shock. I do not want,
I do not want robot Chuck.

Speaker 5 (10:02):
What if unfortunately he goes before you and you don't
want to lose Chuck.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
I don't want.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
I don't want Chuck bot. There's nothing. There will never
be anything like Chuck. Other than Chuck, there will never
be anything.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Technology is great.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
They can capture the essence of the man I love.
And when he's gone, I'm done. I'm like, nope, I'm good.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
No, no, no, I'm saying Chuck bot is purely to
remind you of cool memories, different stories, things that you
start to forget.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Purely not do you have a photo album? Photo album?
That's so weird?

Speaker 5 (10:34):
What about what you were just saying about having all
the cool memories things to talk about.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
You don't share memories.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
You share a knowledge of a certain time. So they
could ask all the time with Chuck No, but I don't.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
I don't. Chuckbot's weird. I don't want I don't want
my But even when I'm old, I don't want my buddy.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
Bot to be like someone I know. I want it
to be a new entity.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
Okay, so what'd you call it? Well, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
I'd have to get to know it. It's like you
can't name a puppy before.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
You get it. Right after, you just go with Buddy.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
No that everybody can't have a buddy bot named Buddy.
That would be incredibly confusing if hey, Buddy.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
And then all the robots turn around. You can't do that.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
It's like being at the dog park with all everybody's
dog's name is Spot.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
That's bad. Oh, so these are all mobile, like these
aren't only in your homes. I've envisioning a humanoid type robot. Yeah,
you know walking? Could you imagine do the slow bot
make him like that?

Speaker 5 (11:27):
That would be you just want to will sky in
it to be in our lifetime or what?

Speaker 4 (11:31):
Because it's coming. I mean, we can fight it. You
can you can fight it, or you can just lean.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
In and I feel the electric charge start to hit you.

Speaker 5 (11:39):
I want to believe based on everything that's going on
in the development, how long things look like look like
they're going to take probably beyond our lifetimes, probably right,
maybe maybe the end of mine.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
And here's why, because computers changed everything in terms of
technological evolution. Because as we move closer to quantum computing
being available to many, many different people, the what it's
going to take to bring an idea from an idea

(12:11):
to complete fruition, that timeline is going to be severely compacted.
Because quantum computers can run all kinds of potential outcomes,
and then you can discard the ones that don't go
well in the in the modeling and focus on the
ones that have potential. I mean, so it could be
the next twenty years we could be having this conversation.

Speaker 5 (12:32):
I think we're safe. I think it's the next generation
after mine. I think Craig Craig. Okay, And let me
put it to you this way, Aaron. In my lifetime,
we put the first person on the moon, the first person,
and think about where we are now. Now we have
astronauts flying around the world all the time in.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
A space station. We have private industry who built a
rocket that can be reused to go get those after
and bring them back.

Speaker 5 (13:01):
All in my lifetime, I hear you, But taking next step,
I mean we're talking like Will Smith I robot.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
You're talking about bobby bots that is so far away.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
Well, we have Thomas Friar Futurist coming on at one
o'clock and we can have a bigger conversation about where
we are. If you see some of the stuff that Honda,
especially Honda is like a robotics leader, and their stuff
that they're making is just crazy.

Speaker 5 (13:23):
Even when they get into that technology, there's gonna be
a long gap in time when they have it available
versus actually making it a public and available to the public,
because there's gonna be a lot of regulation there, but
a lot of work.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
I don't think so. I don't think so when here's
Russia rush it and like let's go, well no.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
The thing that I think is going to hold it
back is having AI learning AI because in order for
it to work, and it's the same thing we've talked
about with Thomas about having educational avatars. Remember how we
had this conversation where they're like max Headroom avatars that
stay with the child from first through twelfth grade and
they learn about the child, and they learn how the

(14:02):
child learns, and then they're they're better able to translate
those lessons to the kid.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
In a way. This is gonna be the same thing.

Speaker 4 (14:08):
Like if a robot starts talking to me about something
that I kind of like, Right, they're like, sou let's
talk about Olympic gymnastics. Well, my interest in Olympic gymnastics
is broad.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
But very shallow.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
Right, I don't need to have a breakdown conversation about
the score that the Russian judge.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
Gave, you know, Mary lou Retten. I don't need to
go deep. And so the robot says, well, how about
that six point two that the Russian?

Speaker 4 (14:31):
And I was like, Robot, I don't care. So the
robot goes, Okay, we don't care about that, and the
robot learns I don't want to have to constantly shut
down the robot telling me scores I don't care about.
And when this gymnastics do you see what I'm saying,
So that AI learning has to be there.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
That's gonna take a long time. I think it's gonna
tell it.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
Well, I think what I'm telling you, quantum computing is
gonna change everything, and we're gonna see things that used
to take five years will now take twelve months, and
things that used to take twelve months are gonna take
an hour.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
So the leaps forward are going to be incredible leaps.

Speaker 5 (15:04):
That first leap, though, that biggest first leap, we're still
always away from.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
Personal computers have only become a thing in my lifetime, right.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
We didn't have that when I was a kid.

Speaker 4 (15:16):
It's not like we were using an abacus, right, But
I had my snoopy calculator.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
That was the sign.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
The biggest high tech thing in my childhood was the
Texas Instruments Science calculator that must have cost nine thousand dollars.
The way parents acted about that calculator because we had
to have one for algebra. I still, honest to God,
don't know how to use it. I have no idea
how to use that thing. But that was the highest level.
The Space Shuttle, the very first space shuttle, has less

(15:42):
technology in.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
It than is in this cell phone that I have
in my hand. I mean, they put people into space
with slide rules.

Speaker 7 (15:50):
You know.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
It's amazing how fast things have moved since then, usually
when the government is not super involved. The space race
being a an outlier because that was that was a
point of pride for the United States.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
To get there first. So we invested.

Speaker 4 (16:06):
Heavily and put all the you know, eggheads in there
and made them do it, and they did it for
love of country. Now everything else, I mean, it's all.
The capitalist system is just done.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
Amazing things really incredible, amazing. The next couple of years,
chuck bots hosting parties, no calculator t I thirty, that's it.
Was it a billion dollars back then?

Speaker 4 (16:28):
I have no idea, Mandy, can my buddy bot look
like Scarlett Johansson. That is a different kind that is Yeah,
that's a different kind of robot.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
We're not doing that. Go watch the movie her, that person.
You're gonna really like that movie, Mandy.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
I'm a ham radio operator, me and my old geezer
buddies across the Western US sit around in our bathrobe
sipping coffee, chatting and solving the world's problem.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
It's gonna be crazy. Any Rod should watch Sonny, Mandy
should not. What is Sunny Sun and why? I don't know.
I think that's the name of the robot from I Robot?
Oh is it really? I think? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (17:05):
All right there?

Speaker 4 (17:07):
What if the terminator asked this Texter were made by
someone who came back and made the movie to warn us.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
Damn, listen, we just made it Hollywood. We can have
an eight rod bot. Just call it a bot and
he could have the hair.

Speaker 8 (17:26):
So great, that would be fantastic.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Everybody bots name is a bot. Now I want four
of them? Why I just I need four of them?
You want four? So you need so important? You need
four buddy bots.

Speaker 5 (17:39):
Yeah, I'll be the first to clone myself. So and
I'll take an a bot for now. Okay, different acronym,
that's kind of cool.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
A bot, b bots, sebot, and d bot. Those will
be all of a Rod's a bots robots. There you go.
Then what happens when I get to Z bot and
then you have to start a double a bot? There
you go?

Speaker 4 (17:58):
What was in high school when Texas and Is Truments
made the calculator? I'm so glad that I learned math
before that. I have no idea, Mandy, what accent, if any,
would your robot buddy have? Let me just change its
accent depending on who it was speaking.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
To you, like Kamala.

Speaker 8 (18:12):
Oh, I have that for later, Andy, Just you wait,
I'll set you vote for me.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
We're going to take a time out, and no, nobody's
gonna have a hel is their robot buddy. We're going
to take a time out and come back and talk
with the executive director of the Nathan Yip Foundation. If
you live in a rural area and you know any
teachers in your school district or anyone connected with the
school district, please make them aware of this next interview
because it is for them. I am bringing on Nathan

(18:45):
Yip Foundation Executive director Jill Shinkle Henwood to talk about
their grant program specifically designed to help rural teachers buy
supplies and other stuff that they need to make their
classroom really work.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
First of all, welcome to the show, Jill, Hey.

Speaker 9 (19:01):
Thanks for having me.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
Let's exciting to be here. Let's talk about the Nathan
Yip Foundation. First. What is it? Who is Nathan Yip?
Let's start with that.

Speaker 9 (19:11):
Well, sure, so, the Nathan Yip Foundation actually was started
in the early two thousands, unfortunately due to the loss
of Nathan Yipp was a young man who was a
freshman in college at the time and he was killed
in a car accident. His parents turned that grief into
a foundation that has supported education over the past twenty

(19:36):
three years. Originally it was supporting schools in World China,
and due to the politics and everything in the in
like twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, the foundation sort of switched
its focus to rural Colorado schools and supporting teachers and
educators in rural Colorado. So for the past seven or

(19:56):
eight years we have been doing that.

Speaker 4 (19:58):
Well I am I'm grateful that they took tragedy and
turned it into something positive. That's always so encouraging and
I always think that's that's a very brave thing to
do if you're a parent who has lost a child.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
So let me just say that first.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
Well, let's talk about these grants that you guys give out,
because right now, teachers in rural areas can apply to
be awarded a grant in the amount of what what
is what are the average grants?

Speaker 3 (20:23):
What does that look like?

Speaker 6 (20:26):
You know?

Speaker 9 (20:26):
So our fall teacher grants are anywhere in the range
from one hundred dollars to two thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
So it is.

Speaker 9 (20:32):
Really what meets the needs of the teacher. And in
past years we've done everything from you know, one hundred
and fifty dollars grants for a scholastic magazine subscription to
larger grants that you know, fund a few robotic sets
or suit a variety of other things. So it really

(20:54):
is open to what the teacher most needs in his
or her classroom.

Speaker 4 (20:59):
What struck me because I went to the website and
I put a link on on my blog at mandy'sblog
dot com to the Nathan Yip Foundation website so people
could go and apply and get more information.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
I looked at some of the past grants.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
And it really helps you understand that rural districts, the
teachers are really stretching to make things work because some
of the things that are on these brands are things
that you're thinking, how do they not already have that?

Speaker 3 (21:23):
You know, why are they asking for off?

Speaker 4 (21:25):
You know, they just classroom supplies in this and you
think to yourself, they're really not funded nearly as well
as the urban centers are.

Speaker 9 (21:36):
Yeah, So it's it's a little bit of funding. And
it's also just sort of opportunity, you know, if you
look in the metro area and I was a rural
teacher in Aalifa and then moved to Denver and worked
in a school district in Denver, and just the opportunities
out there for you know, drives and donations and support
when you're in a small rural community and sometimes the

(21:57):
schools are literally the only big building in that community.
You just don't have the resources there. Additionally, anything like
field trips or traveling somewhere, even teacher professional development, you
have the added on past of travel and staying overnight
because so many of the so many of the museum

(22:19):
and cultural resources that they're based in the metro areas well.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
I love this that you have this open. What do
people need to submit and they need to get them
in by September sixteenth for the fall applications.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
What does that look like? What's that process?

Speaker 6 (22:34):
Great?

Speaker 9 (22:34):
So it's actually September thirteenth is our deadline, and it
is a very easy Google form that they need to
fill out. It really shouldn't take more than fifteen or
twenty minutes. Part of that is we know teachers are busy.
I've been a teacher. I understand there. You know their
training is in teaching, not in grant writing. So it's
really simple and it's basically just putting pen to paper

(22:58):
on things that you need. Roughly how much that'll cost
and why it'll make a difference for your students.

Speaker 4 (23:04):
Well, as I said, I put a link to this
so people can go and apply and hopefully we have
rural teachers that are going to be able to bring
something to the classroom that perhaps they couldn't have brought
without a grant. And I just really appreciate what the
Nathan yipt Foundation does. And I will talk again next
year Jill about this, because this is an annual thing.

Speaker 7 (23:25):
Yes, thank you much.

Speaker 9 (23:26):
Thank you so much for having us on and we're
excited to be able to support teachers in rural areas.
And we hope if you're not a teacher and want
to support teachers in your area, that you'll check out
our website because once we have those requests, we encourage
people to go and support their local teachers.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 4 (23:44):
Foundation Executive Director, Jill Shankle Henwood. We'll talk to again
next year.

Speaker 7 (23:50):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
All right. That's just that's a cool thing. That's a
very cool thing.

Speaker 4 (23:55):
And you know, teachers, I know a lot of my
friends are teachers not here in Colorado but in Florida.
And it's interesting because all the teachers that I know
spend a tremendous amount of their own money buying stuff
for their classroom, making.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
Sure that you know, everything is great.

Speaker 4 (24:16):
And it's one of those things where I'm tempted to
say it's the cost of doing business.

Speaker 6 (24:22):
Right.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
If you want to be a teacher, you take this on.
Like every industry, you have the cost of doing business.
You want to be an auto mechanic, you better show
up with your own tools kind of thing. But at
the same time, in many ways, this is a job
I would never do, never do. Maybe we should have
an adopted school district where we adopt a school district
in a rural area for one year and see what
we can get from them. That'd be amazing. Wo I

(24:45):
hope Check's listening. He's the guy who has to run
with my ideas.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Anyway.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
Anyway, Mandy is the Nathan yipp Foundation part of the
Colorado Gives Day in December. I do not know, but
I will find out and let you know, Texter, because
that is a really, really good question. Now when we
get back, I've got so much stuff on the blog
today and I had this experience. It in line at
target was that it was Sunday or yesterday, I don't
remember which day.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Aroon.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
Let me ask you this question, because you're the youth
on this show. You're the young You're the young one.
We're gonna talk about this later in the show. But
I want to ask this question, do your friends all
obsess about staying friends with their exes?

Speaker 3 (25:26):
No, that's weird. I do not get this.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
But apparently because I heard these two girls talking about
this in line at Target. One girl who had obviously
just gone through a breakup she was not happy about,
is like, I just never want to talk to him again,
and her friends like, no, you guys can still be friends.
I mean, that's just that's what we do. We say friends,
and I just I didn't interject, but man, I wanted

(25:49):
to and.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Just say that's dumb. It's a dumb idea. We'll get
into that a little bit later. Mandy, why don't.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
Teachers unions cover teare enrichment and development?

Speaker 3 (26:01):
Not from Steve? Thanks for that, Steve. I love good comedy.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
We're also going to be talking a little bit later
on the show about why Kamala Harris dropping a new
accent is such a.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
Big deal and it has to go with the overall.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
Picture of Kamala Harris that has been painted since twenty nineteen.
So we're going to get into that a little bit
later in the show. But when we get back.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
Got good news. If you're a Cosabanita fan. Did you
ever go? Did you go to Cosabanita? Did you go?

Speaker 1 (26:39):
No?

Speaker 5 (26:39):
We got on the list but couldn't go. We were
on the strict died at that time. But I did
get that email about being a founding member even though
we didn't a founding member.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
Yeah, we got an email. It says you're a founding
member because we.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
Got on the initial email list you get now moving forward,
just saying.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
Yeah, just saying even did they give you extra soap apias?

Speaker 1 (26:59):
No?

Speaker 3 (26:59):
Because you're well, I mean, what's the point.

Speaker 5 (27:02):
Uh, you get DIBs on reservation, you get other I
don't know there's other exclusive perks you get as a
founding member.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Uh huh?

Speaker 3 (27:10):
Special make you feel special?

Speaker 4 (27:12):
Well, when we get back, I'm gonna tell everybody else
how they can feel special too. Right after this Gotza
Benita of course years for years, known as Casa Diarrhea,
was purchased after it was going bankrupt buy South Park dudes,
Trey Parker and my Stone. They sank twelve million dollars
into it in renovations. Partnered with James Beard, A Ward nominee.

(27:34):
Dana Rodriguez no relation to update the menu. I mean
she has no relation, right, Aaron Ana Rodriguez, Anthony Rodriguez.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Just because it's Rodriguez. I mean, I don't know, it's
just double checking. I don't think so, all right, So uh,
they brought it back and I'm wondering. First of all,
if you've.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
Been there, you can text us five six six nine,
Oh is.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
It worth making reservations?

Speaker 4 (27:59):
Starting on September thirteenth, sixteenth. September sixteenth, at three pm,
their reservation site will go live. You will still need
a reservation to get in there, but no walkin's accepted.
But they've now gone away from the wait for your
secret invite. I missed my invite. I never looked at

(28:19):
the email address that I sent it to. It's kind
of like my junk meial email address. So yeah, now
you can go to Cosabanita. Should we have a should
we have a show field trip there?

Speaker 6 (28:30):
Ern?

Speaker 3 (28:31):
Do you want to go? I do? I want to
just go and check it out, just to say I did.
I've heard good things. I've heard a mixed bag about
the food. I will. But here's the thing.

Speaker 4 (28:42):
People that kind of loved the old Casabanita because the
food was so bad, you know what I mean. There
was like a there was like a comfort in knowing
that you were going to go and the food was
going to be awful, and yet you went anyway because
it was Cosabanda and everybody had their birthday party there,
and so you know, there's the people that long for
that nostalgia have not said great things about the food,

(29:05):
but then other people are like, now, I thought the
food was pretty good. Hey, Mandy, just got my email
for Casabanita tickets. A little over a week ago. Since
my daughter and a boyfriend were going to be in town,
I booked reservations for this past Labor Day weekend. According
to the website, there were no tickets available for dinner Thursday,
Saturday or Sunday nights, but I did get lunch tickets
for Thursday. Surprisingly, the restaurant was quite empty. The menu

(29:29):
is simple and the short list of entrees to choose from.
Food arrived very quickly and was good. Drinks were also good,
as were the soapa peas for dessert. Then they invited
us to finish our meal, close out the check, and
walk around. It was like a mini Disney experience. We
watched a magician climbed through Blackbard's Cave, played ski ball,
and other games in the arcade. It was as good
as I remember it as a kid worthwhile experience, but

(29:52):
I doubt we will go again soon unless we have
other out of town guests who haven't been there. This
text says, if you want a very expensive cheesy experience,
sign up. And isn't that pretty much what every trip
to Disney World is a very expensive cheesy experience, Mandy.
We got invites to make reservations a while ago, but

(30:13):
when looking at the booking calendar, there were no spots
available for a party of five, so we let it laps.
So now we're all gonna have our chances to rush
on over to Casamonita.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
And have some food and see how that is.

Speaker 5 (30:28):
As we speak, I am filling out my Founder's Club information.
Oh well there, you got to send me a special
card that looks pretty snazzy.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
Looks oh wait a minute, special card.

Speaker 5 (30:39):
Yeah, get looks like a membership car. No way, I'm serious,
it looks cool. I'm filling it out right now, are you.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (30:47):
It says the Founder's Club is the most prestigious club
in the world, composed exclusively of Casabanita's earliest supporters.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
No future invitations will ever be extended. So just because
I got on the initial email is even though we.

Speaker 5 (30:59):
Didn't get to go, I'm getting your founder's member, a
founder's member.

Speaker 4 (31:04):
Are you gonna flash that card places? Like if you
get pulled over by the cops.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
You'll be like, You'll flip you, You'll flip open your wallet.
Your license will be in the bottom, and your Casamaneda
founder's card will be at the top. Officer, do you
need anything else? Officer?

Speaker 5 (31:19):
And they will quickly say, our apology, sir, please move
on your way.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
We didn't know you were a founder.

Speaker 8 (31:27):
Wow, I do love my soap a pias. Enjoy the drive, sir, exactly.
Or maybe you'll say, oh, you're headed for the restroom, and.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
You'll be like, not anymore, mister. Not With a new
Casabanita menu, I can make it all the way home. Mandy,
I went to Casabanida in February, says this Texter. The
food is still not the main course. If you're a
concealed carry permit holder, leave it in the car. Were
at home.

Speaker 4 (31:51):
They have a metal detector at the entrance. I read
someone posts they.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
Were informed there were there were a uniformed law enforcement
wanted to eat there, and they wouldn't let them in
that stupid.

Speaker 5 (32:00):
Officially, my three perks of being a founding member ten
percent discount at El Mercado on what.

Speaker 4 (32:06):
Mercado is staying at Rodriguez's other restaurant, right, I guess, okay,
so it's kind tied there. Priority access to reservations and events.
So you'll make our show show trip reservation with your
founder's access.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
And then oh, a member card personalized to me. Does
it smell like soaper peas? Because that would be cool,
like a scratch and sniff. Sure card that smelled like
is that soaper pias?

Speaker 5 (32:28):
I smell?

Speaker 3 (32:28):
I can't wait till I can't wait again?

Speaker 4 (32:30):
Oh, we got others. You're not alone, You'll be among
friends a rod because we've got texts. I am a
founding member. Got my card?

Speaker 3 (32:37):
Oh oh, look.

Speaker 5 (32:38):
At this officially added to my Apple Wallet's the Founder's card.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
Nice. Look at that. It's snazzy looking. It's very fancy.
I'd post a picture of it, but then I probably
would lose my membership.

Speaker 4 (32:48):
Cosubanina was expensive, but I loved it. The soaper pias
were even better than I remembered it.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
I'll go back, says this text all you have to
do is blur that codel able to blow the code
and you should be fine.

Speaker 5 (33:00):
Salada Elite, the Sofa Pia Sophisticates, the Founder's Club is
the most prestigious club in the world.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
That is hilarious. I'm glad that's that's an awesome thing
to be proud of.

Speaker 5 (33:11):
When we get back, stay tuned for invites to super
exclusive events.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
Nice look at me so all because you just clicked
on the email. So there you go. When we get back, our.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
Friend Thomas Fry, our Futurist, is going to join us
and he is going to continue our conversation that started
at the beginning of the show.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
About robot buddies and whether or not they.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
Can help people as they get older navigate through life.
We're going to talk to him next Thomas Fry our Futurists.
You can find him at futurists speaker dot com if
you'd like him to come and speak to your organization
about pretty much anything. Hi, Thomas, how you doing.

Speaker 7 (33:46):
I'm doing great today.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
Well, we already kind of talked a little bit about
the story the column that you sent me and earlier
on the show, and essentially it's about robot buddies. Tell
me about wrote tell the listeners who didn't read the
article about robot buddies.

Speaker 10 (34:02):
Well, I'm pretty well convinced that we're going to have
access to this buddy bot within the next five years,
that we will be able to have an AI assistant
that we'll be able to talk back and forth to
that we'll wake up in the morning and it greets
us first thing in the morning. We'll find out things

(34:25):
that are happening around the world in the morning, we'll
find out things that are on our schedule during the day,
and it'll coach us through the day and anytime we
have a problem, it will help coach us through that.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
Now, let me ask this question.

Speaker 4 (34:40):
So these are what desktop robot assistance or they humanoid
robot assistance.

Speaker 10 (34:49):
Well, this is the buddy bot will work on any device,
whether it's your smartphone, whether it's smart glasses or your computer.

Speaker 7 (35:00):
I could actually be with you at all times.

Speaker 10 (35:02):
But eventually it'll I think it'll actually be an actual buddy.

Speaker 7 (35:08):
Bot robot that we'll have in our lives.

Speaker 10 (35:13):
But yeah, so this is an AI intelligence that that
we have access to at any time we need it.

Speaker 4 (35:21):
So okay, wait a minute, So I I'm just gonna
walk me through my day. Okay, So I'm gonna I'm
gonna walk me through this day. I get up, I
wake up. My buddy Bot is there to say, good morning,
you're awesome.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
It's time to get out of bed and start the day.

Speaker 4 (35:35):
And I get up, I go in and take a shower,
I come back out, I go downstairs. So do the
buddy bot follow me downstairs via the Alexa that's in
my dining room?

Speaker 3 (35:42):
Like, how or is it on my phone? I find
that a little creepy.

Speaker 7 (35:48):
Yeah, it'll be be like it's on your phone. Yeah.
So anytime that you.

Speaker 10 (35:55):
It'll it'll uh, it'll be the the your personal buddy.

Speaker 7 (36:01):
It'll be your best friend.

Speaker 10 (36:02):
You get up in the morning and you'll tell it
all the things that you have going on in your life,
and you'll ask for advice on all kinds of things.
And so it'll be like the friend you always wish
that you had.

Speaker 7 (36:18):
And so that that, I.

Speaker 10 (36:19):
Think is something we're all striving for. And there's a
lot of people who are very lonely in the world
right now, and this is something that's perfectly designed to
fix that problem.

Speaker 4 (36:31):
Why does this sound like one of those little things
a rod? What were those like Japanese toys that you
were supposed to take care of?

Speaker 3 (36:40):
And it would cry Tamagachi.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
Why does this feel like a Tamagatchi gone bad? Like
if I have you seen dual Lingo? Let me just
take this in a completely unrelated, seemingly direction. Have you
ever signed up for dual Lingo the language app?

Speaker 7 (36:55):
Haven't signed up for that now?

Speaker 3 (36:57):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (36:57):
I signed up for it before we went to Norway
to learn few words in Norwegian? Okay, but then I've
stopped because I'm not going back to Norway anytime soon.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
You do what lingo is now taunting me? Okay? It's
now like, Oh, I guess you really didn't want to
lord in Norwegian anyway? Oh I guess you're a quitter.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
And all I can think of is my little my
little buddy bot being like, oh, I guess you're not
going to work out this morning, Mandy, I guess you're
not going to do I mean, how do they can
we program a non nag feature?

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (37:30):
I think there'll be a nagging scale and you can
dial it down when you want to.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
Zero on the nagging scale zero. So how far are
we from having humanoid robots that have AI and that
can be with us or you know, we've talked about
this before.

Speaker 4 (37:49):
I think this is perfect for older people who are very,
very lonely. There's an epidemic of loneliness for older people,
and this could be.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
A wonderful way.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
You program a robot to say, tell it grew up
from nineteen thirty to nineteen, you know, fifty in its
formative years, so it absorbs all that information and you
can talk to it like a peer.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
Right, when do we get to that? That's kind of
what I want to know.

Speaker 10 (38:13):
Okay, the humanoid robot, we'll have some crude examples probably
within the next five years that we can own and
have in our houses. But I like to remind people
that the cars that we drive today have been in
development over one hundred and twenty years, and so it's
taken that long to get to cars that are this good.

(38:36):
So the humanoid robots, it's going to take a long
time of constant redevelopment in re engineering to get them
to a point where they're they'll be more sophisticated than
cars naturally, but it's going to take a while.

Speaker 7 (38:53):
So in twenty years, I think we'll have some good robots.

Speaker 4 (38:57):
Let me ask this question because we were talking about
this earlier too, Thomas, and that is how much does
the does the kind of leaps forward that we've had
in computing power shorten that timeline? Because to your point,
when they started building cars, they didn't need I mean,
they use carbon copy paper to you know, send plans

(39:17):
to somewhere else. So the technology that they were using
was so rudimentary to get us to where we are today.
So starting where we are today, with the advanced computing
that we have and the sort of computing power that
we have, how much does that shorten the timeline in
your mind?

Speaker 10 (39:34):
Well, the timeline is continually getting shorter as we move
through the years. So right right now it's probably half
the amount of time. Ten years from now, it might
be a quarter of the times. As AI gets get
smarter and more intelligent, more capable, it gives us more

(39:59):
ability to do things, and so naturally it will give
us much more sophisticated designs as well.

Speaker 4 (40:06):
You know, we've seen movies like Her where Joaquin Phoenix
falls in love with his essentially his SERI, you know,
on his phone Her.

Speaker 3 (40:17):
What did I say Okay, I did say right, he
was just backing me up. Her And I worry about this,
on the one hand, replacing real human relationships for young
people of child bearing age. Like, I'm not worried about.

Speaker 4 (40:32):
Older people falling in love with a robot because they're
not going to reproduce, and if a robot makes them happy,
then more power to them. But I am worried that
you're going to be able to create someone who is
so perfect for you in every way, shape or form
that it's going to replace real human relationships. What are
the chances of that happening in the next fifty years.

Speaker 7 (40:54):
Well, there's a good chance of that happening, not so much.

Speaker 10 (40:58):
With the mechanical robots should be kind of uh a
phase one. The next the next face will be the fleshbots,
where we actually growing skin and flesh on these these
machines and they will seem much more human.

Speaker 7 (41:13):
Oh that's where it gets really scary.

Speaker 3 (41:15):
That just grossed me out for some reason.

Speaker 4 (41:17):
The phrase fleshbot, just like that's like moist it's it's
not a word that you want to think about that.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
I mean, how do you like you would have like
skin farms that they would just be growing uniforms to
slide on. Oh Jay's that's that's the stuff nightmares is
made out of, right there. If I'm going to have.

Speaker 7 (41:35):
It's the next level. Yeah, it's the next level. Chet.

Speaker 3 (41:41):
If I'm going to.

Speaker 4 (41:42):
Have a buddy, a robot buddy, I want it to
be I want it to look like a robot.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
I don't want it to look like a human. I
want I mean, I wanted to look human like.

Speaker 4 (41:51):
I wanted to have arms and legs and move around
like I do, and maybe have a pleasant demeanor on
its face kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
But I don't want it to look like me, only fake.
That's that's for me. Is just weird. When we get
to the point where you can't tell the robots from
the humans, that's not where I want to be. I
don't want to be there because that's just weird. Okay,
all right, Yeah, Yeah.

Speaker 10 (42:15):
They'll find out when they do the testing on these
things as to how intelligent we want our robots, because
we will have the ability to have different intelligence levels.
If if we want it to be as smart as
a human, uh, that's well, that's one level. If we
want to just have something that washes our dishes and

(42:35):
cooks our food for us.

Speaker 7 (42:36):
That's that's less intelligent.

Speaker 10 (42:38):
That we want something that's that's a real good sparring
partner in philosophy, and something that might be two intelligence
levels above us. And so we'll be able to decide
that and the more intelligent robots will cost more.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
Well, all I can.

Speaker 4 (42:56):
Think of is that, you know, going from a robot,
and of course there are already And if you have
kids in the car, you may want to just dial
away for just a second and then come back in
just a minute. I'm warning you ten nine eight five seven, Okay,
turn the station, all right. So there's already sex spots
that are being built that are very realistic when you
look at that, and I could just imagine a guy

(43:19):
or even a goal being able to dial that intelligence
level up and down, you know what I mean, Like, oh,
right now, I don't want you to talk, and then
when we.

Speaker 3 (43:28):
Get back, I want to argue.

Speaker 4 (43:30):
You know, sto at philosophy with you for about an
hour and a half. I mean that replaces another human
being in ways that we just cannot compete with.

Speaker 7 (43:41):
So how much would you pay for that?

Speaker 4 (43:43):
I'm thinking really hard about that right now, Thomas. I
don't know, but I don't want to replace my human
relationships with I don't want to see this person, said Amanda.
You basically want to see three PO but I don't
want them shiny because that seems like a lot of upkeep.
Like three PC, that's a lot of the shining on
three CPOs. So now let's just say there's a little

(44:03):
bit of skepticism on the text line about this, Thomas,
let me share some of these, Mandy.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
Big brother in your face. How would we know that.

Speaker 4 (44:13):
Our robot buddies were not just sucking up information and
spying on us from the government.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
Could you prevent that somehow?

Speaker 10 (44:24):
Well, your buddy bot also has to be the guardian
of your privacy. That that's part of the mandate that
goes along with the buddy bot.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
I like that, But could the buddy bot be hacked?
Don't want to sha, Could the buddy bot be hacked?

Speaker 7 (44:42):
Yeah, there's nothing that's hacker proof at the moment, but
would it be as hacker proof as you can get?

Speaker 4 (44:49):
Uh, Mandy, would my buddy bot be subject to subpoenas
and other authoritarian legal processes? This is I don't know
who is listening to the show.

Speaker 3 (44:58):
That would ask that question. But here we are, Thomas.
Would they throw you under the bus with the cops?
What would they do?

Speaker 7 (45:08):
Well?

Speaker 10 (45:08):
Kind of a similar question is is would you give
your personal robot your bank account or would it have
its own bank accounts? Because if you sent your robot
to the grocery shore to get some supplies, would you
wanted to have its own bank accounts so that it
couldn't tap into yours? And then if it gets hacked,

(45:32):
does that open up the do you lose whatever you
have in that bank account?

Speaker 4 (45:37):
I believe I would have a joint account that my
buddy bot had access to that only had enough money
for the household stuff. I wouldn't connect it to my
other bank accounts that were mine. I would That's a
really good question. And do you give it its own
credit card? And how do you know it won't stay
up at night shopping on QVC? You don't know any
of these things. We don't know, Thomas. We don't know
what's going on with this who is working on the

(46:05):
tabletop AI right now? Because now we have Alexa and
Alexis sucks and I'm sorry if I just turned her
Alexa on to say that Alexa sucks, but Alexa is
very biased.

Speaker 3 (46:15):
I don't know if you've seen this. Now people are
asking alexis well Alexa, why they should vote for Trump,
and Alexi says, and I can't tell you anything.

Speaker 4 (46:22):
And then you say why should I vote for Kamala Harris?
And he gives a whole list of reasons that you
should vote for Kamala Harris. So is on a scale
of Alexa to humanoid robot?

Speaker 3 (46:32):
Where will this AI you know companion be?

Speaker 7 (46:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (46:39):
I think I think it learns from the owner. I
think it has to be this constant relationship building bought
that learns more about you every day. It learns what
your habits are, what things you're good at, what you're
not good at. It learns where you need help. It
becomes your personal therapist. It becomes your best friend, your buddy.

(47:05):
It can finish your sentences for you. It can coach
you through all kinds of situations.

Speaker 7 (47:11):
That's the buddy bot that I want.

Speaker 10 (47:14):
I want something that I can rely on for all
kinds of difficult situations.

Speaker 4 (47:18):
The first thing I think, though, is that whoever programs it,
just like I just said with Alexa, whoever's programming it
has the ability to inject all of their own biases
and everything else in it, or does it kind of
start from scratch with you and build from there.

Speaker 7 (47:37):
That's what it should work, That's how it should work.

Speaker 10 (47:39):
Yes, it should be very very personal, very much of
one off relationship, and it would end up. I mean,
if you have an accent, it'll develop that accent you. Yeah,
if you speak in a different language, it'll speak in
that language. So these things will be very versatile, very talented.

Speaker 3 (48:05):
This is kind of amazing. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (48:07):
I might feel like it was if I woke up
one day because when I was growing up, I had
a very significant Southern accent, very significant Southern accent, and
sometimes when I go back to my hometown, that Southern
accent sneaks in, right, it just kind of it just
it kind of dips its toe in.

Speaker 3 (48:25):
And then if my robot started speaking like that, I
think I'd be annoyed. I'm like, you're just trying to
be like me. Stop doing that. And then would it
change and not do that anymore?

Speaker 7 (48:37):
Right?

Speaker 10 (48:38):
Right, theoretically it would instantly change, so and you can
you can pick out different voices too, if you'd like.
Rather than a female voice, have a male voice that's
talking back to you. If you want an Australian accent,
you can have that or a British accent.

Speaker 7 (48:58):
So you'll you'll have a lot of variables to play with.

Speaker 4 (49:01):
So here's my question, as a well known person on
a radio with a distinctive voice, could I market my
voice as a potential voice for your AI robot? Could
I Mandy be your best friend in your phone with
my voice and get paid for it?

Speaker 7 (49:18):
Absolutely? Absolutely, It may not be. It may not be
your your path to riches because.

Speaker 10 (49:27):
Because people are probably going to be rather fickle and
they say, I like this voice for the next week
and then I will go with something else next week
after that.

Speaker 4 (49:37):
Now, when you get your when you get your AI
robot friend.

Speaker 3 (49:40):
Do you choose?

Speaker 4 (49:41):
Do you go to like a checklist of I'd like
a snappy attitude, I'd like witty repartee, I'd like a
deep knowledge of classical music? Do you like pick that out?
Or do you just start?

Speaker 10 (49:55):
My thinking is you just start and it picks up
on kind of kind of where you leave off wait,
where you have questions, where you have difficulties, and it
understands what you respond best. To and if you're a
grouchyk curmudgeon like the person that I have in the story, it.

Speaker 7 (50:19):
Will respond in kind of the way that you would
have to respond to somebody like that I love. Yeah,
it'll be very smart.

Speaker 4 (50:28):
One of my texters keeps asking over and over again
if it has body parts other than the brain. But
I'm not going to read it because it's just rude.
So you can stop texting now, texter, I'm not asking
your question. What those are different kinds of robots? And
they're already available, So there you go. Knock yourself out.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
Uh, Mandy, let's see good.

Speaker 4 (50:48):
Could it go to rock concerts with me? Does it
need a passport? What if I leave the country?

Speaker 10 (50:56):
Yeah, well if it's if it's tied to you your phone,
it just goes with you wherever you go. It knows
whatever conversations you've been in. So like, if you if
you'd a little later on you want to, uh, you
want some clarification on one of the points that that
person talked about, then it could actually repeat it and

(51:18):
actually go into detail on that.

Speaker 4 (51:19):
Wait a minute, did you just tell me that I
could ask it what happened in a conversation? I had
with my husband where I know I'm right and I
know he's wrong, and then I could have my little
personal assistant play that back and be like, Yo, this
is what really happened. Sign me up, take my money.
Where do I need to go to get this right now?

Speaker 10 (51:40):
Yeah, but if you ask it who's right and who's wrong,
it'll probably have kind of a delicate way of blowing out,
not answering.

Speaker 3 (51:48):
I don't need to answer right or wrong.

Speaker 4 (51:49):
I just need to hear what words were actually said sometimes, Thomas,
that's all I just need. I need a transcript of
a conversation. That's all I need.

Speaker 3 (51:57):
Although I might find out that I'm wrong far more often.

Speaker 11 (52:00):
And I think, yeah, I think this will this will
be the key to unveiling.

Speaker 10 (52:10):
A lot of interesting facts about ourselves that we didn't
know about.

Speaker 4 (52:13):
Y exactly exactly. And okay, never mind, take my name
off the waiting list.

Speaker 3 (52:18):
I don't want this at all.

Speaker 4 (52:19):
Thomas Frye, we appreciate you every single month. You can
find him at futureist speaker dot com. I put a
link on the blog today if you'd like to have
him come speak to your organization about any aspect of
the future, including what you do for a living.

Speaker 3 (52:31):
Thomas, good to see my friend. I'll talk to you soon.
Thanks you too.

Speaker 4 (52:38):
That is Thomas Frye And uh okay, so now a rod, Now,
if you could ask your robot buddy who lives in
your phone for at.

Speaker 3 (52:47):
Least the next five years.

Speaker 4 (52:50):
Hey, Jocelyn and I are disagreeing about what was said
yesterday about five o'clock when we were discussing what we
should have for dinner tomorrow night. Could you just let
us know what happened there? Yay, nay, nah, Nope, you
haven't been married long enough trust me. Still, No, I
do think I would probably end up finding out I'm

(53:11):
wrong more than I think I am.

Speaker 3 (53:13):
Which would maybe be useful.

Speaker 4 (53:15):
Perhaps humbling, probably stop you know, some significant hard feelings.

Speaker 3 (53:22):
Mandy.

Speaker 4 (53:23):
Ralph says, I'd have insane levels of cybersecurity on my
AI partner.

Speaker 3 (53:29):
Mandy.

Speaker 4 (53:29):
I just asked Alexa about Trump and Harris, same answer
for both. Well, they must have fixed that one. Well
we have real steel. I love that movie. Do you
love that movie with Hugh Jackman. It's so good.

Speaker 3 (53:40):
I don't think i've seen it. Looks really good. Got
to see it, I know. Oh, but first of all,
it's robot fighting. That's thing number one, Thing number two.
It is a great story. It's such a good story.
You gotta watch Real Steel. You have to watch it
this weekend. Okay, okay, it's so good. Yeah yeah, or
Big Hero great movie. That is a great movie.

Speaker 4 (54:02):
But remember Big Hero six started out as a medical bot.

Speaker 5 (54:06):
Sean Levy directed it to Brown is so good. It
is a heated guy.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
I don't know why they never did Real Steel Too.
I would have gone to see. I watched Real Steel
on when it's on TV. I watch it all the time.
It's so good.

Speaker 4 (54:19):
There you go, Sean Levy, you're gonna love it. We'll
be right back Real Steel Too. But there is no
release date yet.

Speaker 3 (54:26):
That does not bode well because if it was really good,
it would already be out. But Sean Levy, the director, said,
we did not make Real Steel Too because we didn't
feel like we had a better story to tell. I
kind of like that. I do like it, Mandy.

Speaker 4 (54:43):
I have a male voice on Apple Maps, because I'll
be damned if I'm taking driving directions from a woman.
Have you ever been doing, like, had the the GPS
on in your car and you decide you're gonna stop like, oh,
I'm gonna pop into seven eleven and get some gas
or whatever.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
And you pull over and it's like turn right and
then you turn left to go into seven to eleven.
Turn right. You can hear it just getting madder and matter.

Speaker 5 (55:06):
You see, I'm under a certain age. I don't have
the volume on in my navigation. I can just look
at it and let it.

Speaker 4 (55:11):
So you drive distracted is what you do? No, you're
looking down.

Speaker 3 (55:15):
No, not down. I have an eye level that I have.

Speaker 5 (55:18):
Sure I don't need it yelling at me and telling
me to drive into a lake like Hatt Scott whatever.
No no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 3 (55:26):
Yeah. A couple of things that I want to touch
on on the.

Speaker 4 (55:30):
Blog today, and one of them has to do with
Kamala Harris and Kamali Irris. Over the weekend, Aghorn went
to Detroit first of all, and then went to Pittsburgh.
And if you haven't heard this, oh Lord, have mercy.
Kamloi Irris did what some call pandering. I call it pandering,

(55:53):
but because she is half black, she gets to call
it code switching.

Speaker 3 (55:57):
What am I talking about?

Speaker 4 (55:59):
I'm talking about delivering the same exact words in a
completely different fashion depending on who you're talking to.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
This is Vice President Kamala Harris speaking in Detroit, Michigan.

Speaker 12 (56:14):
Let's just get through the next sixty four days.

Speaker 3 (56:18):
Here is Kamala Harris saying the same thing in Pittsburgh.
So friends, sixty four days. Mm hmmm mm hmmm mm hmm.
But that's not all from Detroit talking about thanking the unions. Well, look,
you may not be a union member. You better thank

(56:38):
a union member. You better, you better thank her, you
you member?

Speaker 6 (56:43):
What week?

Speaker 12 (56:45):
You better thank a union You better thank you member
for paid lead.

Speaker 3 (56:51):
You better thank a union member for the case. That's
why you get it, girl, you get it. Sounded different
in Pittsburgh. Thank unions every day for the five.

Speaker 12 (57:06):
Day work week, for the weekend, for paid.

Speaker 3 (57:10):
Leave, if you've got it.

Speaker 4 (57:11):
So it's it's almost it's uncanny how similar they are.

Speaker 3 (57:14):
Not what are we doing here at all? What are
we doing here? Well, you know, Ross was and everybody's
been making comparisons to a certain cartoon character. Woman go
to mouth like an outboard Mota all the time. Foghorn, leghorn.

(57:36):
You vote for me? You better you better vote for me. Oh,
you're not a member.

Speaker 4 (57:42):
This is this is more less foghorn. Leghorn must more
like a fire and brimstone pastor to me, you.

Speaker 3 (57:52):
Gotta thank a union member, You betta thank them.

Speaker 4 (57:55):
I mean, could you imagine if I got on the
radio and did that accent?

Speaker 3 (58:00):
Seriously?

Speaker 4 (58:00):
I mean, obviously we're talking about it right now and
I'm making fun of it, But what if I just
got what if? What if we had a caller that
called in who said, Hey, I'm black, and I immediately was.

Speaker 3 (58:08):
Like, yeah, what's up?

Speaker 7 (58:10):
Like one?

Speaker 3 (58:11):
Is that an hour? Three as normal? Correct? That's what
we're talking about here. And and there are people on
the in the Harris camp who keep saying things like,
why are you all obsessed with this?

Speaker 4 (58:22):
I mean, it's really not that big a deal. Everybody, No,
everybody doesn't do it. Only Democrats do it.

Speaker 3 (58:27):
Hillary Clinton is well known for her dip into the
toe into the urban sounding slang when she was speaking
to a black church. I know what I'm talking about.
I mean, come on, just come on.

Speaker 4 (58:44):
And Kamala Harris grew up in California, she lived in Montreal, Canada.
It's not like she was, you know, hanging out in
the Deep South with all of her friends and cousins.
But this just goes to a bigger picture of Kamala
Hair being completely disingenuous and flat out fake at every

(59:06):
turn and for people to not understand why that's not okay. Now,
Barack Obama ran for office in two thousand and eight
as the perfect blank slate.

Speaker 3 (59:21):
Nobody really knew who he was.

Speaker 4 (59:22):
He was a first term senator from Illinois, so they
didn't know anything about the guy.

Speaker 3 (59:28):
They had no idea about.

Speaker 4 (59:29):
The guy because he didn't have a track record. And
here's the thing that Obama did that Kamala Harris is
absolutely screwed up beyond all recognition, and that is.

Speaker 3 (59:40):
He didn't tell you anything.

Speaker 4 (59:42):
He just let you project whatever you wanted him to
be onto his persona. And he didn't have a track
record for us to check. Kamala Harris has a track
record when she ran for president in twenty nineteen. Kamala Harris,
much to her chagrin, at this moment, as she runs
against the current administration, she is vice president right now,

(01:00:05):
so she's not a blank slate. She's just trying to
be whatever anybody wants her to be at any given moment.

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
And it's so incredibly fake.

Speaker 4 (01:00:19):
How about this little nugget of audio as Kamala Harris
talks about the border in twenty twenty four and then
talks about the border in twenty nineteen.

Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
Listen to this.

Speaker 12 (01:00:28):
I believe there should be consequence. We have laws yep
that have to be followed and enforced. Sounds good that
address and deal with people who cross our border yep.

Speaker 3 (01:00:37):
Illegally.

Speaker 12 (01:00:38):
That only person in this race actually served a border
state as attorney general to enforce our laws, and I
would enforce our laws as president going forward. And I actually,
as Attorney General informed California law enforcement that ice detainers
are not mandatory.

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
I disagreed with it, and.

Speaker 12 (01:00:59):
That's why I issued that policy for the sheriffs and
the district attorneys of California, telling them that these were
not mandatory.

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
So she wants to have it both ways.

Speaker 4 (01:01:09):
She wants to speak in a highly educated fashion because
she is unless, of.

Speaker 3 (01:01:15):
Course, no Betta would work Beta. That's right. You know.

Speaker 4 (01:01:20):
First of all, you guys, I just want you to
know I have the ability to do amazing accents. I
loved accents in theater school. It's the one thing that
I absolutely loved, and I could do this all day long.
Somebody said, Mandy, I will give you one thousand dollars
to the charity of your choice if you did an
entire one hour segment speaking like a Southern Black preacher.

Speaker 5 (01:01:41):
Is Kamala Harris the fun house mirror of politics.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
She kind of is whatever you want, whatever you wanted
to be.

Speaker 4 (01:01:48):
I'm that, I'm I'm I'm your girl or guy. I mean,
depending if it works, if you're if you need me
to be a guy, I can.

Speaker 3 (01:01:53):
I'll work that out. It's fine, I'll change my license.

Speaker 4 (01:01:57):
And people just don't for us that because it's untrustworthy.

Speaker 3 (01:02:02):
In the interview the Softball interviews she did with.

Speaker 4 (01:02:04):
Dana Bash and Dana Bash tried to pin her down
on some of the stuff she's flip flopped on, and
her answer was the following, my values haven't changed. Okay, great,
tell me what your values are. Tell me what your
values are, because I don't know. She's held every position
known demand. How am I supposed to infer her values

(01:02:24):
when apparently the end result of her values is either
the border should be completely wide open, or we've got
laws we need to enforce, or we need demand fracking,
or the Green New Deal is fine or I mean
she's been everywhere.

Speaker 3 (01:02:39):
We don't know what she stands for. We have no idea.
While covering all bases, no bases are actually covered.

Speaker 4 (01:02:47):
Correct, correct, Let's see, Mandy, I dare you to do
a one hour in your natural accent. Well, thankfully it's
no longer natural in my we'll call it my birth
accent in my formative years.

Speaker 3 (01:03:03):
Accent. Number one, I don't think I could pull it off.

Speaker 4 (01:03:07):
Number two, I don't think you'd understand what I was saying.

Speaker 3 (01:03:11):
And I mean that as.

Speaker 4 (01:03:12):
Not necessarily a dig on you, but a dig on
how fit the accident of the accent was, and it
was terribly, terribly thick anywhere. When we get back, I
want to answer the following question, Mandy, I haven't listened
in about a week.

Speaker 3 (01:03:26):
I'm visiting Denver soon.

Speaker 4 (01:03:28):
It would like to know the real lowdown on crime
around the city. Is this blown out of proportion? Especially
the Aurora apartment situation. I will address that next. Right
after this, I want to answer this question that I
just got from the text line the Common Spirit Health
text line at five sixty six nine to Ozho.

Speaker 3 (01:03:47):
Let me see.

Speaker 4 (01:03:47):
Here, Mandy, I haven't listened in about a week. I'm
visiting Denver soon. It would like to know the real
lowdown on crime around the city. Is this blown out
of proportion, especially the Aurora apartment situation.

Speaker 3 (01:03:59):
I want to start there first, because we've been talking
about on the show quite a bit. Two things can
be true at the same time.

Speaker 4 (01:04:06):
Number one, Venezuelan gangs have taken over apartment complexes in Aurora.
But thing number two, Aurora is massive, and there doesn't
seem to be a widespread.

Speaker 3 (01:04:20):
Crime wave all over Aurora.

Speaker 4 (01:04:23):
These are isolated incidents. But I think that if you
looked at how crime begins to take hold, it probably
starts with the creation of some kind of home base,
and an apartment complex would serve that purpose. By the way,
Daniel Dorensky on X posted a video and I could
only watch a couple seconds of it before the show
started of a citizen journalist that went to these apartment

(01:04:44):
complexes and asked what it's actually like living there. Super interesting,
So tomorrow I will have that on the show. I
saw it right before I came in today. Now crime
in Denver.

Speaker 3 (01:04:55):
Statistically, crime, especially.

Speaker 4 (01:04:57):
Car theft and property crimes, are down pretty significantly. One
thing I will say, you do not see a lot
of homeless encampments in Denver anymore. The city looks better
now than it has in a long time. Ay, right,
have you been downtown anytime recently?

Speaker 3 (01:05:13):
See?

Speaker 4 (01:05:13):
I've been downtown twice, once during the day and once
at night. The thing about downtown now is that it
still feels a little like a ghost town during the day.
Not as bad as it was in covid where you
can walk down the street multiple blocks and not see
another human.

Speaker 3 (01:05:31):
It's not that bad, but you can tell that it's
not come back.

Speaker 4 (01:05:36):
A lot of the little restaurants and stuff that used
to cater to the lunch crowd have not come back.
There's a lot of empty storefronts in downtown Denver. I
have not walked down the sixteen Street mall. I have
not done that.

Speaker 3 (01:05:48):
But you know, Aurora's.

Speaker 4 (01:05:50):
Issues are not across the city, which is one of
the reasons why I think there's been so many efforts
to deny what's going on, instead of saying, let me
just give every many a little crisis pr advice. If
you knew that there were Venezuelan gangs and they were
creating problems in certain areas of the city and a
I don't know. If city council member comes to you

(01:06:11):
and says, are we.

Speaker 3 (01:06:12):
Having do you guys know about this? You say absolutely,
We're already working on it.

Speaker 4 (01:06:16):
We've got a task force. Here's what's going on. Here's
what we're trying to do. We're trying to nip it
in the bud.

Speaker 3 (01:06:21):
Do you know this whole story would have been like, oh, okay,
there you go? Sure or known?

Speaker 4 (01:06:28):
So would I tell people not to come visit Denver? No,
you can come visit Denver. Denver is still a great
city and it doesn't feel as scary as it once did.
But don't leave valuables sitting in your car. Don't be
an idiot. You know, if you're driving here and you're
staying in a hotel downtown, just valet your car.

Speaker 3 (01:06:46):
So there you go. There you go. So when we.

Speaker 4 (01:06:51):
Get back, I want to have a conversation that I
found fascinating. So I love being in line at large source,
even when there's so check out. Sometimes I'll get in
line if someone in front of me looks interesting. And
Sunday morning, yes I believe it was Sunday morning.

Speaker 3 (01:07:09):
I had to go to Target. It was relatively early, and.

Speaker 4 (01:07:12):
So I see these two young women behind another lady
checking out. I just I get in line behind them
and they're talking. And this young woman apparently has just
ended a relationship and she said something to the effect
of I hope I never see him again, and her
friend looked at her, and these women look to be
in the mid twenties, but I'm not good at guessing ages,

(01:07:32):
and this other woman looked at her with one of
those oh, bless your heart faces that I hate, and
she said, no, no, no, you have to stay.

Speaker 3 (01:07:39):
Friends with him. That's what we do.

Speaker 4 (01:07:42):
And at that point I seriously thought about interjecting, but
instead I continued to listen to make this a topic
on the show because I find this fascinating. And the
other girl was like, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:07:54):
Yeah, I know. I don't want to do that. I
just don't want to do that.

Speaker 4 (01:07:58):
And it was weird to me that her friend was
trying to talk her into staying friends with her ex.
And I thought to myself, this other girl, Eider has
an agenda, you know what I mean, Like she wants
to be in the immediate sphere or something's going on. No, no, no,
we have to be friends. So when I start dating it.
You don't get mad and kick me out of the
friend group. No, no, no, not at all, Mandy. I

(01:08:22):
watched the whole video that Danielle posted. It is a
good representation of the situation, I believe. So we will
have that for you tomorrow. They were talking about Aura
on Glenn Beck this morning. Now, what's happening in the
national media is I do think that things outside of
the areas that are deeply affected, and there are I
think four different apartment complexes where there's accusations that Venezuela

(01:08:45):
and gangs are living there and have pretty much taken over.
But other than that, I don't know that we've seen
a huge increase in crime in Aurora.

Speaker 3 (01:08:56):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:08:57):
I do have a story today on the blog that's
seventy five percent of the arrests in New York City
right now are illegal immigrants who have sanctuary state status,
so they keep getting turned out again and again and again.
Mandy heard you on Ross about your pizza oven. What
kind of pizza oven?

Speaker 3 (01:09:15):
Is it? Looking at?

Speaker 4 (01:09:16):
An oven for Christmas? Is an oony pellet fired pizza
grill or pizza oven? And it's really really cool and
really really easy to use more on that at a
later date.

Speaker 3 (01:09:27):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and injury lawyers.

Speaker 2 (01:09:32):
Well, no, it's Mandy Connell.

Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
Andy Tonkama got way, the study and the noisy through
prey many connal keeping who is sad thing?

Speaker 3 (01:09:53):
Well, we welcome to the third hour of the show.

Speaker 4 (01:09:56):
This is the hour where someone is going to get
registered to win ap of Broncos season tickets. Is this
the last week we're doing this? Okay, so last week
we're doing this. You got to get registered this week
and at some point in the near future you will
have an opportunity to do just that. Now in the
last hours, telling you about a conversation I eaves dropped
on between two young women. One had just gone through

(01:10:18):
a breakup and she was saying, I hope I never
see that guy again, and her friend was like, no,
you have to stay friends with your ex It's what
we do. And I couldn't figure out that we was
meaning she.

Speaker 3 (01:10:29):
And her friend or we like society.

Speaker 4 (01:10:33):
I don't know, but it really got me to thinking
I am not friends with any of my exes. I mean, no,
what's funny is I'm still friends with friends of my exes, if.

Speaker 3 (01:10:45):
That makes sense.

Speaker 4 (01:10:47):
One of my longest friends from college I met because
I dated his friend never dated him. But my thinking
is this, if someone is not good enough to be
in a relationship with, do I want to spend my
limited time keeping them in my close circle of friends.
I guess there's times when I could say yes. I mean,

(01:11:09):
don't get me wrong. There are people that I went on.

Speaker 3 (01:11:11):
A date with that after a date, you realize this
is we're not dating material, but we're still really good friends.
That's one thing I'm talking about.

Speaker 4 (01:11:20):
People you have a long term relationship with, and I
don't understand this sort of obsessive need.

Speaker 6 (01:11:25):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (01:11:25):
People go, yeah, we broke up, but we're still really
good friends. We're still really good friends.

Speaker 3 (01:11:29):
Why you don't have other friends to fill the void?

Speaker 4 (01:11:36):
In my experience, and this is surely not in every
person's experience, I get that, But in my experience, people
who want to remain friends with.

Speaker 3 (01:11:44):
Their exes, one of those exes still.

Speaker 4 (01:11:46):
Wants to get back together, and they're holding out hope
that if they just stay in the periphery, somehow that
person who dumped them is going to realize that they
want them.

Speaker 3 (01:11:56):
Back, so I got this text message though a common.

Speaker 4 (01:12:00):
Spirit health text line. You can text us at five
six six nine zero.

Speaker 3 (01:12:05):
Mandy.

Speaker 4 (01:12:06):
I am sixty nine years old and still friends with
all seven of my former girlfriends, two of whom I
lived with for a couple of years. I value those
friendships and you guess they do too. I've been happily
married for thirty nine years and have three wonderful kids.
My wife and I are also devout Christians. I think
it all boils down to love and trust. I would
never even think about cheating on my wife.

Speaker 3 (01:12:27):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:12:27):
To be clear, Chuck is still friends with some of
his exes, including an ex wife, and I have no
issue with that. It doesn't bother me at all. As
a matter of fact, if we drive through Kansas City, we.

Speaker 3 (01:12:39):
Have dinner with her. She's lovely.

Speaker 4 (01:12:43):
But that being said, he doesn't talk to her often,
but I know they chat every once in a while
when something pops up, and there's no jealousy at all.
And Chuck and I both feel the same way about
just being jealous in general. If either of us wanted
to be with someone else, we would, You know, so
as long as you're working on the relationship and making
sure that your relationship is strong and healthy, and we

(01:13:05):
both take that commitment very seriously.

Speaker 3 (01:13:07):
I don't worry about that. I just don't.

Speaker 4 (01:13:09):
As a matter of fact, if I found out Chuck
was cheating on me, I don't know if I would
believe it.

Speaker 3 (01:13:14):
I really don't know if I if.

Speaker 4 (01:13:17):
I believe it was true, it would just be so
out of character for the man that I've been with
for so long.

Speaker 3 (01:13:23):
It would be so shocking.

Speaker 4 (01:13:25):
And I'm sure that there are people who found out
their spouses were cheating who said the same thing. I
don't think I'm breaking new ground here. That being said,
we are in a position that we don't really worry
about that. But I was just wondering, is this like
a young person thing?

Speaker 3 (01:13:42):
Ay? Rod, you say it's not a young person thing. Now,
I'm not familiar with that thing. No, I haven't heard
that with anyone my agent. Both of my sons have
that attitude, And it's like, what, what why? I don't understand.
I just I'm confused. Hang on, I'm responding to John Caldera.

(01:14:06):
He's texting me her in the show if he can
come on at two thirty what access? Hey, Rod, let's
just keep.

Speaker 7 (01:14:15):
Us on the air.

Speaker 3 (01:14:16):
I'll figure it out.

Speaker 5 (01:14:18):
I don't know, I don't know if we have one
available for mister capped to look.

Speaker 4 (01:14:23):
I want to talk to him though, first of all.
I mean I want to check him with John he
had a heart attack, and then we can try to
worry about it.

Speaker 3 (01:14:27):
How about that access three and I'll ask him. I
bet John is still friends with his exes. I bet
he is. And here's the thing.

Speaker 4 (01:14:34):
My ex husband and I did not have children together,
so we didn't have anything to bind us. You know,
there was no there was nothing, no reason to keep
in touch kind of thing. But all of my exes
are exes for a reason. You don't just break up
with someone who think is amazing, right, I mean, I
guess you could remain friends with him for whatever reason, Mandy.

Speaker 3 (01:14:55):
I agree with you, Mandy.

Speaker 4 (01:14:56):
It's ridiculous when exes want to stay friends. Andy, the
guy who would stay friends hoping for a one a
m booty call possibly, well you know what, you never know,
but you don't have to be friends for a booty call.
Those texts can be sent to anyone at any time.
Uh yeah, So, Mandy, good relationship with ex shared kids

(01:15:21):
and considering what we went through as a family. H Yes,
you went through a lot, and I think if you
have kids, I admire you for staying friendly with your exes.
But staying friendly is different than staying friends. Being civil
with someone and kind when you see them, and maybe
even getting to a point where you're actually, oh, it's

(01:15:42):
good to see you and mean it.

Speaker 3 (01:15:43):
That's being friendly.

Speaker 4 (01:15:44):
But are you in a regular contact keeping up being
friends with your ex? I just I don't see it.
I think people confuse friendly with friends, Mandy.

Speaker 3 (01:15:57):
Usually what happens is that narcissism drives people to want
to be friends so they can float back into your
life and hoover out. Ooh, hang on, hoover cut the ties.
Wait a minute and hoover wait.

Speaker 4 (01:16:10):
Don't let them come back. Move on with your life.
They're not there to do anything except drag you back down.

Speaker 3 (01:16:15):
I have dated.

Speaker 4 (01:16:16):
Narcissists in the past who were very deeply offended when
I was not interested in their friendship, and that was
fine with me.

Speaker 3 (01:16:26):
I mean, come on, just scrape it off.

Speaker 4 (01:16:32):
So if your significant other is still friends with their ex,
they are not faithful. They are keeping that just in
case person. If they have kids together. Again, that's different.
But I don't know if you're if you're friendly, if
you're friends with your ex, why are you not together?
Were you sexually incompatible? I mean, what's why wouldn't you
be with that person? Because let me tell you, the

(01:16:53):
older you get, that friendship matters way more than anything else.

Speaker 3 (01:16:58):
I mean, the other stuff is so important, don't get me, but.

Speaker 4 (01:17:00):
If you don't like your spouse, they'll come a time
in your life where kind of the other stuff doesn't
wear off, but it's not as important, and you better
have that friendship. Mandy, there's oh I can't read that
on the radio? What's wrong with you?

Speaker 3 (01:17:16):
Mandy? When you say LTR.

Speaker 4 (01:17:18):
The younger generation considers long term relationship to be about
three months.

Speaker 3 (01:17:23):
Oh yeah, that's different.

Speaker 4 (01:17:24):
I think friendship can withstand if the breakup is on
mutual terms. Where are you just realize you're better friends
than in a relationship. But if there was a situation
of cheating or extreme betrayal, no, friendship.

Speaker 3 (01:17:37):
Should not evolve.

Speaker 4 (01:17:38):
Yeah, I mean, if you're with a bad person, you
don't you don't want to you don't want to continue that.
When someone shows you who they are, pay attention so
incredibly true and so incredibly valuable. Hey, did I mention
that someone was going to get entered to win a pair.

Speaker 3 (01:17:56):
Of Broncos season tickets. Well, someone maybe getting a lucky
break soon.

Speaker 4 (01:18:02):
There's a ton of stuff on the blog today. And
there was a meeting on Saturday with the Colorado Republican
Parties Central Committee, the other Central Committee, and shockingly, they
decided to keep the wildly ineffective worst Colorado Republican chairman
in the history of Republican chairmen, who can't fundraise, who

(01:18:23):
broke protocol and crept all over the bylaws to endorse
losing candidates in the primary that literally no one is
going to give money to, that none of the state
candidates have even heard from for support for their races.

Speaker 3 (01:18:36):
These this group of clowns showed up to be.

Speaker 4 (01:18:39):
Like, you're the best, Dave, You're the best Hong Kong.
That's them honk and noses collectively. So now we have
to take this to court because current Colorado.

Speaker 3 (01:18:50):
Chairman Eli Brammer elected in.

Speaker 4 (01:18:52):
A meeting called by enough of the Central Party that
they bounced David Williams out because he's not only a competent,
he's a complete drifter. Now we have to take that
to go to court. So that's where that is. And
it's just so stupid and bad and awful.

Speaker 3 (01:19:08):
If you're in Clear Creek tubing, you know, have you
ever been tubing on Clear Creek? Anybody you ever done that?

Speaker 6 (01:19:14):
Either?

Speaker 4 (01:19:14):
I kind of want to do it because tubing is
my jam in the summer. But if you are tubing
and Clear Creek, you are sitting in a pile of antidepressants, cocaine.

Speaker 3 (01:19:26):
THHC, and poop. Oh yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:19:31):
A bunch of researchers just dip some tubes of water
into the Clear Creek space and they found all kinds
of stuff there.

Speaker 3 (01:19:39):
Now, this is not super unusual.

Speaker 4 (01:19:42):
Because people sweat all of those things out. They pee
in the river, everybody does it.

Speaker 3 (01:19:48):
Listen to this.

Speaker 4 (01:19:49):
Coming out of people's bodies are what we call the metabolites,
and so you can have pee, you can have poop.
Essentially what I just described our foods coming out and
changing the microbio. But the metabolites can really reflect things
like antidepressants, birth control, cocaine, THHC. These are the sorts
of things that are coming out of people's bodies as

(01:20:10):
they're tubing and we can actually quantify that.

Speaker 3 (01:20:16):
Ugh, that's disgusting, really disgusting, Mandy from the text line,
the common Spirit health text line, and Mandy, pretty sure
the Colorado Dems are loving Dave Williams.

Speaker 4 (01:20:30):
Guys, I am, I'm not saying that this conspiracy theory
is accurate. Well, what I'm saying is if I were
the Colorado Democratic Party and they play the long game,
as evidenced by what you read in The Blueprint, an
excellent book about how the Democratic Party for democratic activists
turned Colorado from a red state into a blue state

(01:20:51):
with just incredible speed, they're playing the long game. So
if you're playing the long game, why not finding a young,
narcissistic man who you can groom to be a destructive
force within the Republican Party.

Speaker 3 (01:21:11):
And why not?

Speaker 4 (01:21:13):
I mean, I'm not saying he's a Democratic plant, but
my goodness, if he was, there would not be a
better one at all.

Speaker 3 (01:21:22):
It's all.

Speaker 4 (01:21:23):
I'm not saying it's I'm not saying that's what happened.
I'm just saying it could be possible.

Speaker 3 (01:21:29):
Mandy, I heard on your news that Paul visited the
CU football practice. Do you think he's envious of coach Walls.
Wait what, oh coach Walls? Gotcha? You need coach Tim Walls,
the guy who was an assistant coach who wanted everybody
to think he was a coach. Yeah no, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:21:49):
By the way, I have a story on the blog
today where you can go and vote. USA Today is
having a top ten contest. First of all, you need
to vote on the best stadium food that is in
power Field at Mile High, and then you can vote on.

Speaker 3 (01:22:02):
The best college tradition.

Speaker 4 (01:22:05):
They have Ralphie's run as one of the top ten,
so we need to get everybody to vote for that because.

Speaker 3 (01:22:10):
Florida State didn't make it.

Speaker 4 (01:22:11):
And please y'all, I've decided I'm just going to pretend
this year that Florida State took the year off.

Speaker 3 (01:22:20):
And I don't want to hear about their games because
I have seen enough.

Speaker 4 (01:22:24):
If you want to see the negative ramifications of the
transfer portal, just watch a Florida State football game right now.

Speaker 3 (01:22:34):
Oh god, yeah, it's so bad. So I'm just they
just took the day off, they took the year off.
But that new qb oh, he is just a disaster.

Speaker 5 (01:22:46):
Who's supposed to be the air apparent to Trevor Lawrence
and Clemson and then supposed to be the air parent
to Jordan Travis and FSU.

Speaker 3 (01:22:53):
It's not working out.

Speaker 4 (01:22:53):
Nope, He'll got the air apparent to a single person anyway.

Speaker 6 (01:23:00):
To ye.

Speaker 5 (01:23:02):
I have heard though that they're now appealing to try
to expand once again the College Football Playoff fors for
all teams like one hundred and twelve.

Speaker 4 (01:23:10):
You know, because ultimately the team that you see this
year is not remotely the same team that it was
last year. And previously, prior to the transferred portal, you
would have, you know, a couple of freshmen that had
been in the system for two or three years. They
knew exactly what to do. So you didn't like you
didn't you know, you just reloaded. You didn't have to recruit,
you just reloaded from your bench. And now they're going

(01:23:32):
out in the transfer portal and they're getting all these
people they're not in the system, they haven't been in
the system. It is not working for Florida State. We'll
see if it works for CU. Maybe they'll be better
at it this year. We'll see when we get back.
Mike pal and yours, John Caldera gonna join us to
talk about the ATF party, and I remember the other
thing I wanted him on the show about. He wrote
a fantastic column about why he's voting for Donald Trump.

Speaker 3 (01:23:54):
We're going to talk about both those next.

Speaker 4 (01:23:56):
Keep it right here, John Caldera from the Independence Institute.

Speaker 3 (01:23:59):
You've heard him?

Speaker 6 (01:24:00):
What was a Spinal Taps album? It was called Break
Like the Wind?

Speaker 3 (01:24:04):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (01:24:06):
Was that the one that Oh my gosh, big Bottoms
was on. Yeah, I believe that's their big hits on
that one.

Speaker 6 (01:24:13):
What a hit When you sing it to a woman,
I don't know, it's probably the most romantic thing you
can do.

Speaker 4 (01:24:18):
Oddly, John, I've had that song song to me and
it's not it's not at all. So anyway, it just nod.
Although no, I was about to say something that was
inappropriate about.

Speaker 8 (01:24:29):
Him because Chuck is still alive, but he shows great
appreciation for my booty.

Speaker 3 (01:24:35):
So there you go. That's we'll just leave it at that.
We'll just just moving on. Can we get some detail
on it?

Speaker 4 (01:24:41):
We're not doing It was the Chuck Pot three thousand.
Would you have a buddy bot? Would you have a
robot friend?

Speaker 2 (01:24:47):
John?

Speaker 3 (01:24:47):
Would you do that? Listen?

Speaker 6 (01:24:49):
The only reason I got a Apple phone was so
that Syria could make Alexa jealous.

Speaker 3 (01:24:56):
I'm a lonely lonly man.

Speaker 4 (01:25:00):
Lets talk about you. But you're about to have a
big party. Let's start with that. Then we're going to
get to the Trump column of why you're voting for
Trump because I thought it was just so good. Not
that I want to tell you that and inflate your
ego even more. But let's talk about the ATF party first.
Let's get that out of the way, because this is
a super fun event.

Speaker 6 (01:25:14):
About twenty three years ago, we just had a wild hair.
We getting tired of the nannyists telling us what we
can't do, and as adults, we thought, you know what,
let's smoke, drink and shoot. So lo and behold came
the alcohol, tobacco and firearms party at the Independence Institute.
We're doing it on September fourteenth. You can go to
our website thinkfreedom dot org. Thinkfreedom dot org. It's a

(01:25:37):
fundraiser for us. And yes, we do smoke, drink, and shoot,
sadly not in that order because of lawyers, but the
spirit is there. We go out to Kiawa Creek Sporting Clubs.

Speaker 3 (01:25:48):
Spirits are there, Yes, are there? Very nice.

Speaker 4 (01:25:51):
Yes, Kya Creek is Dino might If people have never
been to Kyo Creek sporting places, it is fantastic, great,
great events based.

Speaker 3 (01:26:00):
Yeah, it's it's just it's just a class.

Speaker 7 (01:26:04):
It's like a.

Speaker 6 (01:26:04):
Golf course for killing clay pigeons.

Speaker 9 (01:26:08):
It is.

Speaker 6 (01:26:09):
Yeah, you go, you relax, you have a cigar, and
you kill some clay and then we we have spectacular speakers.
Was we had a female speaker.

Speaker 3 (01:26:21):
I feel like you've downgraded a little this year though,
because oh yeah, we were going to the bottom.

Speaker 6 (01:26:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:26:27):
Right there after we had Mandy Connell. There was this
wine coming from your sister's stations. Mane, look at me.

Speaker 6 (01:26:35):
So Michael Brown, the one and only will who will
join us as ours, our guest of honor. And it's
just it's just a good time, especially now with all
the attacks on our gun.

Speaker 3 (01:26:45):
Rights, have nannyism all that.

Speaker 6 (01:26:47):
It's just it's good to be around some people who
well kind of thing the way we do and enjoy
the perks of adulthood exactly, and well adulthood at least
after the shooting.

Speaker 3 (01:27:00):
So let me ask you this question, how much does
it cost to participate? How you know?

Speaker 4 (01:27:04):
I also put a link on my blog at mandy'sblog
dot com.

Speaker 3 (01:27:07):
So people can you can go to the website and
find out.

Speaker 4 (01:27:10):
I've got it in front of me. I was trying
to te you up. I thought, you know what your
own event costs the place?

Speaker 3 (01:27:15):
What? I just think you have basic knowledge, right, I
mean how long? How long have you known each other?

Speaker 4 (01:27:20):
I try to give you credit, John, because I want
you to be better than you are.

Speaker 3 (01:27:23):
Okay, half the price, I'm lifting you up. The price
it's one hundred bucks for the party goer ticket, and
the five stand shooter ticket is two hundred bucks, and
a regular shooter ticket.

Speaker 4 (01:27:36):
Which is all the stands and everything is five hundred bucks.

Speaker 3 (01:27:39):
So there you go. But and I want to throw
this sat here. Let me do a little marketing for you. John. Wait, okay,
are you going to charge me? No, I'm not. This
is a freebie.

Speaker 4 (01:27:47):
First one's free, okay. So, uh, the Independence Institute does.

Speaker 3 (01:27:51):
An incredible job doing the very thing that today there's
a news article about.

Speaker 4 (01:27:56):
And apparently, John, our legislators do not like ballot initiatives.
And that's just one of the things you guys do
for society. You've been pushing and pushing and pushing for years,
and this money helps do that.

Speaker 6 (01:28:10):
We put things on the ballot, We fight bad ideas,
we educate legislators, we do lawsuits. We have David Koppel,
who is the country's renown Second Amendment lawyer. Without him,
the Heller decision would not have happened, and we wouldn't
have an individual right. If you like things like charter schools,
if you like things like term limits, if you like

(01:28:31):
things like concealed carry, if you like things like the
taxpayer Bill of Rights, all of those were birth at
the Independence Institute and turn from an idea to reality.
And so while we never take ourselves seriously, we always
take our mission seriously, and we believe there is a
path to free Colorado from this socialism that's enveloping it

(01:28:52):
right now exactly.

Speaker 4 (01:28:54):
And as people are like, Okay, who do I donate
to to fight back? You donate to the Independence This
is literally what they do all day, every day. And
if you don't want to just make a straight donation,
go have some fun and shoot some stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:29:07):
And by the way, it's we've been around for nearly
four decades.

Speaker 6 (01:29:11):
We are the only conservative libertarian organization that actually has
a footprint brick and mortar building close to the Capitol,
the same way that all the leftist groups do.

Speaker 3 (01:29:23):
It's just amazing.

Speaker 6 (01:29:24):
When you send a person to the capital as a representative,
they turn left because it's like sending your kid to Berkeley.

Speaker 3 (01:29:31):
All they see in that bubble is the takings. Cool.

Speaker 6 (01:29:35):
About a decade ago, we bought a beautiful building down
there that we use for events. We have studio space,
we have meeting space, and we're there to say we're
not going anywhere.

Speaker 3 (01:29:45):
You forgot about the war Room. I love the war Room.
You've been in the war room. In the war room,
it's pretty pretty freaking cool. It makes me feel powerful,
actually it is, but it's very cool.

Speaker 6 (01:29:54):
We were into zoom meetings and telecommunications before COVID, and
so we've got this thing that looks very much much
like the war Room and Doctor Strangelove.

Speaker 4 (01:30:02):
People are hitting the text line with messages for you, John,
I missed John calderon Koway and then this one talk
about mudflaps.

Speaker 3 (01:30:09):
My girls got him. So there we go a little
of this, a little of that.

Speaker 4 (01:30:13):
Let's talk about the column you did last week about
why you're voting for Trump, because I will tell you
and I'm being dead serious here.

Speaker 3 (01:30:19):
It resonated in my soul.

Speaker 4 (01:30:22):
I felt, I felt so very much in tune with
that column because I like you. After January sixth, was like, nope,
I'm done, Ei, There's no way I could vote for
him again.

Speaker 6 (01:30:35):
Never again. Not a never Trumper, but never again Trumper.
After his terrible handling of January sixth, it was just
unforgivable that our top law enforcement official is hiding out
and not going to a camera and microphone to stop
these rioters for the better part of three hours.

Speaker 3 (01:30:53):
And I was like, this is it. I can't do it.
I voted for you twice, but I can't do it again.

Speaker 6 (01:30:58):
And then I find myself now going Jesu Louise, I'm
going to vote for him a third time.

Speaker 5 (01:31:04):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:31:05):
And it's not because I'm voting for Trump. It's not
even because I'm voting against Kamala.

Speaker 6 (01:31:13):
I'm voting against the entire system that creates the Biden's, Kamala's, Obama's,
and controls the media, controls the narratives, controls education, and
has done so many things in the last several years
to take away our rights, to separate us from society.

Speaker 3 (01:31:33):
You know, this is this is a.

Speaker 6 (01:31:34):
Machine that covered up, covered up Biden's complete dementia for
three and a half years. Yep, to the point where
he proved it himself because he was off script for
an hour and a half. And then they turned on
him like a bunch of jackal committed a coup and
installed a candidate who never ran and won a single primary.

Speaker 4 (01:31:57):
John I asked this question the other day on ACT
and I'm being genuine, like, who decided that she was
the candidate?

Speaker 3 (01:32:05):
Was that a zoom meeting?

Speaker 4 (01:32:06):
Was it a series of phone calls, a bunch of
text messages between unelected people who somehow not only decided
that she was going to be the candidate, they then
whipped the entire democratic infrastructure behind her right.

Speaker 6 (01:32:20):
In the same way they did that in the same
way they whipped the infrastructure behind Biden four years.

Speaker 4 (01:32:27):
But who was the decider? That's no one's talking about.
That everyone's talking about. We all know who stabbed Joe
Biden in the back. We know it was Nancy Pelosi's
call that threatened him so severely that he finally dropped out.
But we've got no information about the deciders of Kamala is.

Speaker 3 (01:32:41):
Our girl we're gonna get everybody behind her. We're gonna
shut down any insurrection. We're gonna make sure nobody wants
a brokered convention, and we're going to do it in
three days. Who they all did that?

Speaker 6 (01:32:54):
The one factor that is not conspiratorial is, of course
the money that given the hundreds of millions of dollars
that the Biden Harris campaign collected, Harris is able to
keep it and use it. If it was somebody else,
they'd have to rebuild it very, very quickly. So out

(01:33:15):
of expediency alone, she's our girl. How the media today
is covering up her decades of socialistic policy and never
forcing her to answer a question.

Speaker 3 (01:33:29):
That's the reason I'm voting for Donald Trump. And let
me make this point clear.

Speaker 6 (01:33:34):
If you're like Mandy myself and we're like, I can't
vote for this guy again, is it's just wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:33:41):
You don't have to in Colorado.

Speaker 6 (01:33:43):
You get a pass, and the pass is there's no
way in hell Trump's going to win Colorado. Yeah. So
if you want to have a protest vote, go have
a protest vote.

Speaker 3 (01:33:53):
But you know what my protest vote is. My protest
vote is.

Speaker 6 (01:33:56):
Going to be against this Leviathan that continues to give
us this pent permanent crisis.

Speaker 3 (01:34:03):
I call it permit crisis. Be scared, be scared, be scared.
You're all gonna die. You're all gonna die. You're all
gonna die. You're gonna die instead of freeing us.

Speaker 6 (01:34:12):
And so, you know what, my protests vote and it's
not gonna count except maybe in that mythical popular vote
that only reporters like to care about. But I'm I'm
making my stand. Yeah, I'm gonna vote for this guy.
Here's how crazy trumpies are. So I wrote the column
that you mentioned. I had the line about how I

(01:34:33):
was so disappointed by his behavior in January sixth. So
instead of the Trump he's going, thank you, John. Other
people who are on the fence read this column. They
fought me over January sixth. They all wanted to go
back and relitigate January sixth. You're idiots, you know what
you know about this? And what about Nancy? Yeah, instead

(01:34:53):
of I'm there looking at the social media attacks on me,
I'm thinking take the Yeah. You just had a guy
who said he'd never vote for Trump say that he
is going to vote for Trump.

Speaker 3 (01:35:07):
Take the win.

Speaker 6 (01:35:08):
And it's like this is why Colorado Republicans fail, This.

Speaker 3 (01:35:13):
Is why, this is why Dave Williams thinks he's still
the still the chairman.

Speaker 4 (01:35:17):
I can't even talk about that whole just dumpster fire
with I have come so close to cursing on the
air over the Colorado GOP story that I have anything.
In the last like five years. It has been really
difficult to not share with people in all four letter
word glory exactly how bad I think that situation is.

Speaker 3 (01:35:39):
I mean it is.

Speaker 6 (01:35:40):
Let me give you, let me give you a ray
of sunshiner, Okay, hit me, let me let me give
you the joy I'm looking for.

Speaker 3 (01:35:47):
Yeah, yeah, that Kamala has. This is a good thing.

Speaker 6 (01:35:52):
The destruction of the Republican Party is a good thing
in Colorado because it has been failing, and it's been
failed for a decade.

Speaker 3 (01:36:01):
It needs to be completely burnt to the ground.

Speaker 6 (01:36:05):
Those of us who believe in capitalism understand the concept
of creative destruction.

Speaker 3 (01:36:11):
That's what this is and what comes out of this
in the coming years like a phoenix from the ashes.
John Caldera, it will and it might.

Speaker 6 (01:36:20):
My suspicion, I put this out as a as a
strong possibility Colorado could become the first unaffiliated state. What
I mean by that is in the city centers, it's
going to be hacked Democrats, and out in the rural
areas it's going to be Republicans. But in that swing area,
that the area that controls everything, suburban districts, female, single

(01:36:44):
mom dominated swing districts, they're gonna they're gonna get tired
of both sides, and you're going to start to see
I believe, more unaffiliated candidates.

Speaker 3 (01:36:54):
When those candidates in.

Speaker 6 (01:36:56):
The legislature will caucus with the Republicans on taxes, on regulation,
on safety, on crime, and they'll probably join the Democrats
when it's time to defend abortion rights or weed or something. Fine,
but I think that is going to be what we
need to focus on. And there is no way that

(01:37:17):
a party that says, let's go burn gay pride flags,
you're never going to speak to those women one last night.
I'll say it this way, if you're in those districts
and you're running as a Republican, instead of having an
R behind your name right now, you might as well
have a swastika behind your name, because swing voters between
Trump and abortion see Republicans that way.

Speaker 4 (01:37:38):
Well, let me just say this and then I'm gonna
let you go because I got to do of the day.
I would think that at this stage in the game,
there is literally no benefit to running as a Republican,
not just because of the swastika, but because the state
party is so dysfunctional. You're going to be left to
your own devices anyway. So there's no upside to running
with an arm beside your name.

Speaker 6 (01:37:59):
And that's act especially in those districts. In a swing district, Uh,
there's you know, if you're in a rural area, terrific,
go for it, go hardcore.

Speaker 3 (01:38:07):
Good for you, that's terrific. But yeah, what what do
you get?

Speaker 7 (01:38:10):
You get money?

Speaker 3 (01:38:12):
Now, you get called a rhino.

Speaker 6 (01:38:14):
You know, you get insulted because you don't pass the
purity test.

Speaker 4 (01:38:19):
Dajure yep, all right, John Caldera, we got to get
people signed up for the ATF party happening on the
fourteenth of September. I put a link on the blog
and a joy to talk to you as always. You know,
you could actually come in here to the studio one day.

Speaker 3 (01:38:34):
You could do if you could make your happy way down,
I could do that.

Speaker 6 (01:38:38):
But you want let's just say the host is a
little handsy job.

Speaker 3 (01:38:42):
You said you wouldn't say anything. I'm getting tired of
that you didn't, you know it. I'm tired of.

Speaker 6 (01:38:47):
How you look at me when I'm in the studio
because hey, lady, I'm up here.

Speaker 3 (01:38:53):
John Caldera, I'll talk to you later, my friend, goodbye.
I have a good one. That is John Caldera being
John is Calderia's organization trying to do anything about the
new If you have a concealed carry permit, leave your
gun in the car while you go inside regulation. I
don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:39:10):
I know they didn't run any ballot initiatives this year
because they are so so so expensive. So Ryan Edwards
has just joined me in the studio. Ryan, did you
know that the Florida State Seminoles have taken the year
off for football.

Speaker 3 (01:39:23):
That's my attitude, an appearance. I'm going that way based
on and I thought.

Speaker 13 (01:39:27):
Of you last night as I was watching the debacle.
And you know, it's just so weird because because you know, hey,
you forgive the the Doublin game, right, I mean like
that you shouldn't lose that game, last second field goal,
you know whatever, this game?

Speaker 3 (01:39:43):
What do you even here's my take on this, and
I will never speak of this again because this season
is over and they've there's taken the year off.

Speaker 5 (01:39:50):
Well there's twelve taking the year off, all right, as
far as I'm concerned, La la no.

Speaker 4 (01:39:55):
But I do think what we see at Florida State
right now is the result of the transfer portal. You
have a bunch of guys coming in who don't know
the system, and it's not like the pros where they
are professional football players and have to come in and
learn a new system with in a few weeks. I
think that replacing as many players as they had to
replace instead of recruiting taking him out of the portal
is not working out for the Seminoles this year.

Speaker 3 (01:40:17):
I say that, and DJ does not know how to
play football.

Speaker 13 (01:40:22):
Ugly, that was ugly ugly to have been again, not
for f s U fans, but for everybody else. There
is one where like receivers wide open and it's it's
like a baseball uh theme, where it's throwing it, he
hits the umpire.

Speaker 3 (01:40:39):
And don't even get me, don't even get me started
on the tackling. We're just it's over there. They're taking
the year it was a breakdown more than just offense.
But oh man, I it was a breakdown to my
living room, is what It was a break down my
living room. So the season is over.

Speaker 4 (01:40:53):
I'm just letting you know because now it's time for

It's game week. So obviously we'll talk a little bit
about that. Is it okay to be excited as a
Broncos fan? Absolutely premature jocularity? Are we just because I'm
excited about this season? I don't think we're going to
go to the super Bowl? Not like that excited. Look,
I just made the basket. I never made the basket.
I missed the basket every day. It's got to be something.
