Speaker 5 (01:18):
So all I want you to do today is head
over to Mandy's blog, which is what a rod the
companion to the show.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
The blog mirrors the show. The show mirrors the blog.
They are in hand. They cannot do without the other.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
They are like two different halves of a book. There's
just woop follows. Please yes, AOA is that pod?
Speaker 4 (01:36):

Half of American.
Speaker 7 (01:51):
All the ships and clippers say, that's a press.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Plat today on the blog, it's an ask me anything
kind of day. The rendezvous is this weekend at the fort.
What is it like racing cars? The Jeff Copta has
been hijacked by leftist Democrats? State government is not out
of money? Is the Blue book too blue this year?
Are we really exhausted from politics? Mayor Mike Kaufman welcomes

Dave Williams sucked as chairman. Matt Gates was at a
sex party with seventeen year old vote for the coolest
thing made in Colorado. When good gender reassignment studies are
spiked by politics, Lyon's head coach forced to move. Can
you write a six word mystery? Nancy Pelosi lies her
ass off. That's one smooth landing. No celebrities you don't
(02:47):
need to endorse. We've got a bonus moon for a
bit about self service. Kiosks killing jobs. Milk and meat
may prevent tumors. Women are tired of toting their big
boobs around. If this is in California, it's six point
seven to six million. The woad has left the ESPN
building DGIF everybody. Those are the headlines on the blog
(03:09):
at Mandy's blog dot com. Okay, that's kind of cool.
By the way, guys, here's the thing. If you ever
get a message after you text us on the Common
Spirit Health text line at five six six nine, oh,
that says we've unsubscribed you or something along those lines,
just ignore it. It is a It is a feature
(03:30):
of the automated system that we use that we do
not utilize because we don't send you anything when you
text us, don't. We don't send you stuff. I mean
if the host responds to you. But iHeartMedia doesn't send
you things. So you don't have to unsubscribe because you're
never going to get something randomly from us here.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
That's not how the whole thing works. So ignore that.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
And for the firston who just said this, Hi, Mandy,
just thought you might like to know. I'm currently sitting
in a kayak fishing Quincy Reserve listening.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
To your show.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
That is all.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
I have a high level of envy. It's rising in
me like a wave.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Today on the show, I got a couple things coming up.
My friend Holly Kenny, the owner of the Fort restaurant,
who is you know, you guys know I love the Fort.
But one of the reasons I love the Fort is
that Holly is just a wonderful human being. Is just
a really fantastic person, and she and the Tosorro Cultural
(04:32):
Center do so much to sort of spread the love
about Native American culture and rituals and rights and things
of that nature. That they have a big event coming
up this weekend that if you've never been to one
of the Tosro events at the Fort, you really should go.
They do an incredible job with education, with helping you
(04:53):
learn about Native American culture and different fraud. It's just outstanding.
So we're going to talk to Holly at twelve twelve
thirty about that. And you know Anthony, my right hand
man here, you can.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Call him a rod.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
He also has one of his forty seven side gigs
that he has is Saturday night he calls.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
The races at the racetrack. What's the name of the.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Racetrack Colorado National Speedway.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Colorado National Speedway, A Rod calls the races there, and
one of the race car drivers is a fan of
the show, and so we're going to talk to him
about what it's like to drive a racecar.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Have you ever been in a race car? Have they
let you do that yet?
Speaker 6 (05:29):
I absolutely could have a line too, but I don't
think I actually have.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
I at the Daytona five hundred, which is a huge
speedway and on the corners it's like a forty five
degree angle on the on the sides. We were broadcasting
our show from there for the Daytona five hundred or
the Pepsi four hundred or one of them, whatever, and
they said, do you want to ride in the pace
car with one of the drivers? And I'm thinking pace car, Like,
how fast can it go?
Speaker 4 (05:53):
How scary could this be?
Speaker 5 (05:55):
That's completely underestimated, how scary.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
That can be?
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Lam sets the pace it is?
Speaker 5 (06:03):
It was, Well, there's like a ceremonial pace car that's
like whatever whatever whatever Auto group sponsors the race, you
know what I mean, They have those, and it was
one of those. But the guy's like, I'm in the
passenger seat and the guy is like a quarter of
an inch from shearing the mirror off on the walls,
(06:24):
and I it was. I sat completely clenched, like every
muscle in my body the entire time because it was
just scary. Because not being in control of that situation
is probably far more unnerving than being the driver, you
know what I mean, like because you have no eh.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Anyway, Mandy, I use waterproof earbuds and listen to you
while swimming in my workout.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
That's cool.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Okay, wait a minute, Now we have a contest going. Okay,
one one entry from the kayak in Quincy Reservoir. That
was just one off. Now we have a competition.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Who is listening to the Mandy Connell Show the best
possible way?
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Like what?
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Who has the most creative or interesting way that they
are listening to the Mandy Condall Show.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
I just like to know what are you doing?
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Can I just say right now? The gold medal of
all time will be if someone says, yeah, I used
to be an astronaut. I took Koa up in space
when time is fine, space station meets Koa.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
How about that would be pretty awesome.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Now here's the here's the cool thing I do know
that our radio signal.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I oh no, this was when I was at w
h AS.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
When I was at w HS in Louisville, our signal
reached to Afghanistan. So I would get from Louisville, Kentucky. Now,
because it was nighttime in Louisville, it was daytime in Afghanistan.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Okay, but still the signal will bounce Afghanistan.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
This signal will bounce. That's the that's the amazing thing
about AM. We don't think about it here because it
only bounces in one direction. Least we are going, we
go forever. Yeah, you know, it's pretty amazing. So I
AM Radio. I totally geeked out because Jimmy Singeberger, who
(08:08):
I asked to stay so we could talk about his column,
but I'm going to talk about this instead. So if
you just miss the last half hour of Ross's show
that Jimmy Singenberger has been filling in on, you missed
some amazing music. You had two young country singers in here.
I do not believe that young man was eighteen.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
I do not his voice and.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Said, oh my god and everything, but he looks like he.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Is in middle school.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
But it's just amazing. But as I'm listening to it.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
I'm driving in and I'm thinking to myself because you know,
we're about to turn a hundred here on Koa. We
don't look a day over seventy five. No, okay, we're
about to turn one hundred and to hear country music
coming out of Koa. Because the foundation of radio in
America was country music.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
It really truly was. You had all of these.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Different families that were on different stations, and that's how
Johnny Cash his family and Jim Carter's family got started.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
So it's like to hear that kind of music on
this station. It felt like a very.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Full circle moment on a moment. Seriously, I just had
a moment there.
Speaker 8 (09:10):
You know, it was cool, it is there's something special.
I hadn't thought about that, but you make up such
a profound point. And to know that it is a
couple of gen Z musicians who were in studio on
Koa still in their teens, who were singing and performing,
that was something else. And I have to tell you
they are the consummate musicians and just playing a little
(09:31):
harmonica with them is so easy because they already are
just fantastic.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Well, let me do this really quick, and then we're
going to get to your rate column on the PTA
and the politicization of that.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
But I got to tell you where people are listening
to the show. So these are awesome.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
These are so good.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
The KOA commins spirdeal text line.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
This is the where where are people?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
How people are listening to the show, Mandy, I'm listening
to you while walking shelter docs from Steve School pickup line.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Yes, I never have.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
To do that again. I know you want to say
this for last, but we'll steal it from you and
say it now. This is my favorite response. I work
at a competing radio station and listen to Kawa all day.
We have one guitorious.
Speaker 9 (10:12):
We are.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Let me see here.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
We find it right now, let me go, let's see.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
I'm hang on one second. I'm sorry it scrolled in.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Actually, Daytona is thirty one degrees backing felt like forty
five when I was scared to death gripping every muscle
in my body.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
This one.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
I'm at work and getting paid to listen. Lol.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
If someone pays you to listen to this show, that
legitimately is the best job in the entire world.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Gosh, getting paid.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
To listen here's a bet you can do a remote too.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Or this person who says they're listening while grading diamonds, See,
now that's just cool. That's cool.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Why Yogi gets free internet on Southwest so she tunes
in that way from the sky.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Mandy. I'm in my barn, cleaning out the goat stall,
listening to you.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Well, you're shoveling something, and I'm shoveling something.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Now are they aren't we? Indeed?
Speaker 6 (11:14):
Listen? Cohastpit in your what goose pit?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
What's a goose pit? Is that where goose live?
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Probably? Maybe I've never heard of lay eggs?
Speaker 4 (11:26):
What is that is that?
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Where?
Speaker 9 (11:28):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Maybe it is where geese lay eggs?
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Delivering mail Mandy, not unique or interesting, but listening to
you while prepping apples for canning well, Mountain Grandma, If
you want to send me some apple sauce, I will
gladly take it.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Mandy, what are you going to do? A listener meet.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
At the fort? We are working on that now. I'm
in Minnesota listening to you on Alexa, washing floors and
getting ready for visitors from Colorado who obviously have very
dirty feet.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
Mandy.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Years ago, I lived in San Diego. I used to
get KOA at night fairly clear. There were times driving
through the desert at night towards Arizona, KOA came in
clear too.
Speaker 8 (12:03):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Listen in the goose Pit last season.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
M Mandy is a ham radio operator. I bounce signals
off the eye on a spear all over the world.
Somebody else said, the signal doesn't bounce. It does bounce.
They move in a wave, so it does bounce. I mean, you, guys,
I do pretend not to know anything about technology, but
radio is pretty basic, and I think I had to
(12:26):
learn that when I was in broadcasting school something something,
SCC license something. Did you ever have to get an
FCC license, Jimmy, No, So you came a little later
to the game. It kind of stopped right when I
got into the industry.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
We have clarification goose hunting, Oh, goose hunting. Okay, that
makes a little more sense. That makes I bet we
attract geese. I bet they're like, what is that honking?
Speaker 8 (12:48):
Well, if geese ever end up showing up outside the studio,
you know the station building, you know that they're protesting.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
We called them again running eighty thousand pounds of turkey
and truck from Flagstaff to Phoenix down I seventeen, Well,
hail to you. We need to bring back what you
what's your.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Hauland what's I promise I'm getting you Jimmy, Jimmy's just
sitting here.
Speaker 8 (13:11):
It's always wonderful to hear the way listeners are tuning in.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
I'm still waiting for the one on the Moon or
the Spame station. Anytime a living got to bring back.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
We got to bring back.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
It's a living.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
And what's your hauland what's your Hauland have we even
done what's your hall in since you've been here? Okay,
so what's your haul? Ind I need I need a
truck driver. And if it's got to be a real
truck driver, he's got to haunk his horns something to
indicate it's a real truck driver. And then we play
games where people guess. They get to ask one question
and they have to guess what's in the.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Back of his truck or her truck?
Speaker 5 (13:41):
What's your Hauland it's dumb, but oddly entertaining and somewhat riveting.
I stole it from Jim Phillips, who used to be
have a show in Orlando, Florida on Real Radio One.
A four point one because there are no new ideas
in radio. Yes, Aaron, nothing you want to say anything?
Nope anything, Nope at all? No about nothing? Do you
want to share with the rest of the class. You
(14:02):
got a little bit of the giggles right now. You
cracked yourself up.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yes, indeed.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Okay, let's talk about your very serious column today, Jimmy,
because I have a feeling this show is just going
to go right off the rail, so let's just it already.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Yeah kind of. I mean, it's that kind of Friday.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
So your column in the Denver Gazette today is here's
the thing, Like I wish I was remotely surprised by
what you wrote in this column, but you have provided
a window into a world that I think most people
don't think about when we sit here and wonder how
of our universities turned into.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
A hot bed of leftism.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Well, it's because it's starting in middle school, it's starting
in elementary school. It's starting, as you outline in this
column about how the Jeffcopta specifically has been completely ideologically
captured by the hard left and teachers unions. That's where
it starts, right, It starts because conservatives have seeded that
(15:02):
ground ptas, PTOs school advisory committees, district advisory committees. We
cannot seed any of that ground. So go and let
people know what's in the call.
Speaker 8 (15:12):
The headline is a little bit specific when it should be.
The issue is broader to the Colorado PTA really in
that it is the Colorado PTA that has a lot
of jeff Co based leaders. Evi Hudak, former state senator.
Remember this is the state senator who in twenty thirteen
resigned instead of a recall, back when we actually had
(15:33):
some pushback against gun control measures that could make a
meaningful difference.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
And yet she has.
Speaker 8 (15:39):
Always been anti school choice, lockstock and barrel, with the
Teachers' Union, so close knit with all these sort of
the education establishment. And she happens to be vice president
of Advocacy for the Colorado Parent Teacher Assie.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
I wonder what she advocates for for against Think Think
I can't imagine.
Speaker 8 (16:02):
She certainly does not advocate for school choice. I can
tell you that much. And so you've got her. You've
got a couple other players that Don Fritz is the
chair of the Legislator Director of Legislative Engagement, and then
the chair of their legislative committee, as somebody by the
name of Sarah Roebers and those three very levs wing
(16:22):
as Ev Hudak indicates, and they really dominate for my investigation,
and I talked with sources and again that they really
dominate the public policy positions of the parent teacher associations
in this state because it comes down they take positions.
They testified and took positions on like ninety eight bills
(16:42):
this legislative session and got a majority of the ones
that they advocated for through and all but one of
the nine that they opposed were killed in the legislature.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
How are they Are they polling their members all these issues?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Are they having leading on these issues? Is there a
formal political action committee?
Speaker 8 (17:01):
There is, I don't know about a political action committee,
but there is this formal committee that ostensibly is what
decides on which ballot measures or which legislation to take
positions on. But for my investigation, it really seems like
it is just being driven by these three who pull
the strings here. And there's very little that, like their
(17:23):
minutes don't document what the votes were, specifically, how many
people voted for them, who voted for or against the
particular positions it's so vague, and there's so much that
is that is dominated from the influence of these three
women that really the PTA's public policy positions are coming
have been hijacked by the left.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
So the PTA traditionally has been an organization to support teachers,
to support students generally, to support the schools where they are,
where they are found. And how does the PTA different
from a PTO.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
Yeah, so the is affiliated with a national PTA. It's
actually parent teacher association is actually a formal national.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
Organization or entity.
Speaker 8 (18:08):
Whereas PTOs parent teacher organizations tend to be more localized.
They don't believe there's a national organization that sort of thing.
So and schools can actually have both. I just learned
this over the course the last couple of weeks. You
can if you have a PTA and you're not able
to make changes or something, you can switch up and
establish a PTO as well, or you can say, hey,
(18:30):
I'd rather try and turn your PTA into PTL.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
But there are two.
Speaker 8 (18:34):
Different kinds of structures, and one is affiliated with the
state and national organizations, and the national often will set
the tone for certain public policy positions, and then it
seems like on occasion the legislative folks who run the
show at the Colorado PTA will say, well, this sort
of falls in line with national So we're just gonna
take a position on a bill because we think it
(18:57):
we interpret it as fitting with national.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Well here's my question, and we're almost out of time,
and I got another guest coming up a twelve thirty,
so as quickly as possible, why would we need a
national PTA? If the PTA is designed to directly support
the schools in their communities, why do you need a
national organization?
Speaker 8 (19:18):
I have no clue except that maybe it's sort of
like a maybe it born. It was born out of
we want to share ideas, we want to have best practices,
and then somehow legislation started coming out of it, and boom,
you have a life of its own and it becomes
uber politicized.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Read the story. It's very good.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Jimmy did a great job this week filling in for
Ross and thanks for sticking around.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Good to see you when we get back.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
I've got Holly Kinney from the fourth They have a
fantastic event of rendezvous happening this weekend.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
You need to know about.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
You know, I was talking about the fact that Koa
has been around for one hundred years. We're coming up
on our hundredth birthday, and they have been woven into
the part of Denver for that long. And another thing
that has been woven in to the part of Denver
is the Fort Restaurant, even though.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Technically they're outside Morrison, but it's fine. We don't talk
about that.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
And the owner Turner mic on Aron, and the owner
Holly Kinney is with me today to talk about one
of their outstanding events that they put on with the
Tesorro Cultural Center, which is kind of is do you
call it kind of an arm of the Fort or
is the Fort an arm?
Speaker 10 (20:23):
Well? Toro Tosorrow was created to celebrate all the cultures
that traded at ben so Old Fort and it's a
five oh one C three. It's a nonprofit and I
created it in nineteen ninety nine to really provide more
education and more events that like our rendezvous coming up
(20:44):
this weekend. But I have to give you a little
trivia about me, oh please. I started in radio on KO.
I used to sell time on KOA radio out in
nineteen seventy five and seventy six and seventy seven. Alway
was the quarterback for the Broncos and we went the
Orange Crush.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Oh that's fantastic. I had no idea. I didn't know
that about you.
Speaker 10 (21:09):
So Kowa has a special place in my heart.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Oh that's wonderful. That's a great story. I love that, Holly.
So let's talk a little bit about the rendezvous and
to the point you were just making this did you start?
And I know we've talked about this before, but people
don't always hear every interview. The Tsorial Cultural Center came
out of sort of the intent that your father had
when he built the fort in the first place, right
(21:33):
the original.
Speaker 10 (21:34):
In nineteen sixty two, we created a replica of Ben's
old fort, which was a famous fur trading fort from
eighteen thirty three to eighteen forty nine, and we started
doing school tours because every teacher wanted to take their
kids on a school tour to see the fort. And
we actually had a little museum in the building. We
(21:56):
had to turn it into a restaurant to pay off
the mortgage, but it turned out that the history was
as important as the food. But then the food kind
of took over. It became very famous because we are
fine dining and so when I joined my father in
partnership in nineteen ninety nine. I said, well, let's get
(22:17):
back to the school tours and educating the public, which
was what the building originally was designed for. And we
created Tosorrow Cultural Center and my dad called it Desorro
because there are many amazing artists, like the Spanish colonial artists,
the mountain men who hand make flintlock guns and who
do it as works of art, and that is their
(22:41):
treasures and their treasures to our society and to us.
And let's use the fort's platform and market them and
call it the Tesorro. The treasures mean it means treasures
in Spanish.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Well, I can vouch for the food we ate their
Saturday night with friends who had never eaten there. And
the patio, oh Ollie, the patio is glorious.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
It is gorgeous out there. You just have this incredible
view of Denver in the distance.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
It is stunning. In the fatal is second to nine.
So let's talk about what's happening this weekend. One of
the things that is so cool about what.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
You're doing is for people who either don't know themselves
a lot about Native American culture, or maybe you want
your kids to have a better understanding of Native American culture.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
The rendezvous is even I think better than the Powwow
for kind of getting a feel for more about the culture,
not just dancing and things of that nature.
Speaker 10 (23:39):
Well, it's a mix of cultures. You have the traders
and trappers who were trading at Bensfort, and reenactors and interpreters,
and then you also have the Spanish colonial artists because
Bensfort was on the border of Old Mexico, which at
that time was the Arkansas River. So you had a
(24:00):
Spanish colonial artists who hand carve the saints and they're
demonstrating their carving and their just as they did hundreds
of years ago at the same time of Ben's sport.
And then we have a scavenger hunt for kids, so
they have they're given a sheet of paper admission, and
then they go round to each artist and mountain man
(24:22):
encampment and ask the question that's on the piece of
paper and if and they're given a string of sinew
or like a string, and then they get the answer
from the artist or the blacksmith or whatever, and they
are given.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
A trade bead.
Speaker 10 (24:40):
But each encampment they collect a trade bead after hearing
the answer and understanding the answer. So they stay there
for hours with their parents following behind them, and they
collect their trade beads by asking the questions, and they
learn all about how do they make the die from
(25:01):
rocks and through kachiel, which is like an insect that's
bright red, and how did they weave the wool and
what type of wol did they weave and it's Churro
wool and the Truro sheep were brought from Spain. So
it's a whole day of interactive learning.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
It's like a living museum.
Speaker 10 (25:20):
Yeah, it's really fun though, it's like an adventure. Yeah,
and then we have also you get a trade beat
if you go sit and listen to the Ricara Amandan
hadatsa tribe doing a dance and talking about the Indian
tribes at vent Sport. But then you go to the
blacksmiths and learn there and so it's really a great
(25:42):
family of event and it's an adventure and fun and
it's interactive.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Holly Kenney is my guest, and this is all happening
this weekend. There are you can buy your tickets. I've

Cheyenne Canyon during the middle of the work day and
I had off and on been listening to Kawa on
terrestrial radio headset. When they announced who was taking over
the noon hour show from the radio giant Mike Rosen.

of the day and the rest of you, well, you're just.
Speaker 6 (32:05):

Congratulations to our big winners from.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
The Forked four packs there. But a couple of things.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
By the way, I talked about this story really briefly,
but an update just broke so you might be hearing
it here. First, the RTD Police Chief, Joel Fitzgerald is
now no longer the RTD Police Chief. RTD put out
an announcement today that he had.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
He was no longer with the department.
Speaker 6 (33:04):
Wait a minute, let me read this.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
Joel Fitzgerald is no longer the chief of the Regional
Transportation District. Fox thirty one learned Friday afternoon. He's been
on leave since the start of July. No one knows why.
A statement from RTD said he is no longer an
employee of the organization as of September twentieth. This statement
included a thank you message for Fitzgerald's two years.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
With the agency.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
RTD says it will announced plans for interim leadership of
the police department soon. They still haven't told us why
he was on leave since July first, So yeah, there's
that interesting. Interesting.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
I'm sure he has all have another job in like
five minutes, because that seems to be what happens to,
you know, people who aren't great at their jobs in
that summer.
Speaker 5 (33:56):
Okay, I got a bunch of stuff on the blog,
but I got to finish reading these a rod, these beautiful,
wonderful places where people listen to the show. And if
you're listening to the show in a weirder place than
any of these, you can go ahead and text us
at five sixty six nine. Oh so let's see listening
(34:19):
while a little bit high on cold medicine. Hopefully we'll
remember this later. Oh no, you're not going to miss anything.

Speaker 7 (34:38):
Where's Golden Forest.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
Golden forest meaning golden aspen golds.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
Oh now, golden it was an actual place, I think,
so they didn't gaglize golden holland trash while listening to
you as usual every day. That's Shannon the trash lady.
I met her when I was at Regen Revolution doing
a an appearance.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
You would not expect this Shannon to be a trash.
Speaker 6 (35:02):
Woman like you. We are taking out the trash on
the daily, twelve to three.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
Shannon. She's no Oscar the Grouch, that's for sure.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
Hey, Mandy, When I was a kid in the sixties,
my dad would listen to WLS from Chicago on the
East Coast at night.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
Kind of got me into radio and long distance listening.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
Now my wife thinks I'm weird because I'm fascinated by antenna's.

Speaker 6 (36:51):
I could rally up a militia.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
Of course, one of them is in Georgia when I
was in Alaska, but I could rally them up. We'll
come together separately. America for years listened on Guam. Actually

I mean, here's a great sport and it's a great chat,

Never stopped listening after I moved.
Speaker 5 (42:05):
Is Mandy ever mesmerized by the fact of how far
the KOA am signal travels? No, I am not, because
I understand the dynamics behind it. It bounces off of
the ion a sphere, folks, It truly does, climbing on
ladders and picking plums. That's something you should be very
careful about. Mandy on a tractor planting wheat with my

I mow our lawn.
Speaker 5 (43:54):
Although my daughter is about to start mowing the lawn
and doing the snow.
Speaker 6 (43:59):

Immediate gratification, so I did not gratification for those out
there that have an electric mower or maybe don't like
their mower and wonder.
Speaker 6 (44:14):
Why doesn't my grass look just as good as the neighbors.
I now realized how much better the grass will look
when you have a quality mower with really nice sharp blades.
I now am so much more proud of our lawn.
It looks so good thanks to the new gas mower
YEP de Walt Baby wlassil fuels.
Speaker 4 (44:32):
Thanks.
Speaker 6 (44:33):
I did never think of having a Dault mower. Man

You need to learn and you can find it on YouTube.
How to sharpen your blades even though they're brand new
brand you sharpen him at the end, at the beginning
or the end, whichever, the beginning of every season. Okay,
And it makes such a huge difference, huge difference.

all to shame.
Speaker 5 (44:52):
Ye, my neighbors like that, and she has just it's magnificent.
Speaker 6 (44:58):
But our lawn is not too far off. Now. It
was the mower. It was the blades. That was the

Speaker 5 (45:22):
Are you making replacement human body parts like an artificial knee?
Are you growing an ear on the back of a mouse?
Speaker 4 (45:30):
That's what? What are we? What are we doing here?
Have you not seen that?
Speaker 6 (45:33):
That person's also at taxidermists?
Speaker 5 (45:35):
Have you never seen the growing the mouse the ear
on the back of the mouse?
Speaker 6 (45:38):
I no google it, I don't want to google it.
Speaker 4 (45:40):
Just do it? Do it?
Speaker 6 (45:43):
Do it.
Speaker 4 (45:45):
I just want to get his reaction growing.
Speaker 6 (45:48):
Growing.
Speaker 5 (45:48):
They're growing an ear on the back of a mouse growing.
Mandy listening to you while I pick up dog poop.
I try listening to you every day, probably pick up
a lot of poop.
Speaker 6 (46:00):
Yeah, why did I need to see that?
Speaker 4 (46:02):
Because now you know that they can grow an ear
on the back of the mouth.
Speaker 6 (46:05):
I didn't need to know that.
Speaker 5 (46:06):
It's a thing that you know. If I know it,
you should know it. Do It's actually pretty revolutionary.
Speaker 6 (46:11):
Ew you know, and yes, de Walt makes a gas
mower and it's really really good.
Speaker 5 (46:17):
Mandy listening to you while climbing the steps and jumping
the planters at Red Rocks for exercise. So you're one
of those maniacs I see at Red Rocks, David maniac, Mandy.
I listened to y'all every day in Louisville, Kentucky and
Bourbon and beyond.
Speaker 4 (46:32):
Still going.
Speaker 5 (46:34):
Saw Matchbox twenty last night, Chris Isaacs tonight that from
Betty Loo. Chris Isaac saw I have a great story.
Remember I was talking about I knew I didn't belong
with the flight attendants pretty early on in training.
Speaker 4 (46:44):
When I was a flight attendant, The first day I
got there, I drove because I was only five hours
away from Atlanta.
Speaker 5 (46:50):
Nobody else had a car, and I was driving up there,
I heard this guy on a radio station and he
sang this song and I was like, that's the most
amazing song I've ever heard.
Speaker 4 (47:00):
And it was criticized. So I go on the first day,
I'm like, who wants to go see this band with me?
And they were like, what are you doing?
Speaker 5 (47:07):
And I went out on the first night a flight
attendant training and to go see Chris Isaac in a bar.
Speaker 4 (47:12):
And I regret nothing so good. This person is sculpting
a bonside tree.
Speaker 5 (47:20):
I actually, if you are a member of the Bonside
tree community, keep an eye out for a wanted poster
with my face on it, because I personally am responsible
for the death. I don't even know how many Bondside trees.
And it goes like this, I see a Bonside tree
somewhere and I go, Wow, that's really cool. And then
I stand at the Bonside tree selling person and I
(47:42):
talk to them for about twenty five thirty minutes and
they tell me over and over again how easy this is.
It just requires regular maintenance, no problem, can't it's and
then I end up buying one and then two months
later instead, it's like this bonside tree racket. It's like
I have the bon Side Tree kiss of Death on
my four and they can all see it. Oh, this
(48:05):
guy makes teeth from scratch, so those body parts stinging.
We used to be able to hear KOA bleed over
on the payphone in Parker. You could pick up the
phone and listen to the Broncos game. Oh that's fantastic.
Something happened in my car the other day that has
never happened to me. So I am driving next to someone.
We're going onto an on ramp that uh, and we're
(48:28):
moving in a decent clip of speed, but we're side
by side, and I'm pretty sure that their directions from
there there It was like a slight right onto and
then obviously directions, but I didn't have my my GPS open,
and I think their directions bled over into my radio signal.
Speaker 4 (48:48):
Is that possible?
Speaker 6 (48:49):
Do you think a rod that sounds very weird? I
don't think that's right. Well, weird things can go across
man really.
Speaker 5 (48:56):
Definitely directions, I mean you know what directions sound like.
Speaker 4 (48:59):
You know that sight right onto I twenty five.
Speaker 5 (49:02):
You know that voice, and I just didn't know if technologically,
by the way, this is, we're not confirmed Kyle on this.
This is a question. We don't know if this is accurate. Disclaimer,
but can someone explain.
Speaker 4 (49:19):
Now if my car has Bluetooth capability then yeah, but
I don't know why the Bluetooth would jump from their
car to their car my car. I don't know, Mandy.
Speaker 5 (49:30):
When I drive Uber and Lyft during the day around Denver,
I'm torn about listening to you or Ross because of
the political words and topics that spontaneously come up. I
keep the volume very low if I have writers I
suspect might not take too kindly to anything you or
Ross might say. I tune into a serious exam music station.
As a capitalist, I want you to make the most
money possible, and I turning us off for a little
(49:51):
bit of time to make more money helps than do
what you gotta do?
Speaker 6 (49:54):
What not in the last sentence, can make a my
heart station? Yeah? Please? Yeah, I heart music station. Yeah,
I heart radio music.
Speaker 5 (50:04):
And this person said, I bet the car audio was
turned up way too loud so you heard it to
your window.
Speaker 4 (50:08):
No, because I don't know if you.
Speaker 5 (50:10):
One of the things about driving a luxury brand car
that I never knew until I got a Mercedes. And
I drive a twenty fifteen Mercedes, and I love this car.
I love it, love it, love it. You the the
protection from outside noise is so good inner Mercedes.
Speaker 4 (50:31):
There's like no road noise outside at all.
Speaker 5 (50:33):
You don't hear anything, to the point where sometimes I
will roll down my window.
Speaker 4 (50:38):
And hear my brakes squeak and go wow.
Speaker 5 (50:39):
I wonder how long that's been happening, because you don't
even hear your own brake squeel. So I'm pretty sure
it came through my you know, speakers. I don't think
it was bleedover, Mandy. Yes, I've heard other people's directions
on my radio.
Speaker 4 (50:53):
Yes, thank you.
Speaker 5 (50:54):
Okay, now, Kyle, we've confirmed it now so we can
run with Occasionally, someone else's GPS could possibly be on
your radio Sis confirmed confirmed. Yes, Yes, my earbuds picked
up another person's conversation in the grocery store and it
was steamy and very funny when I joined in, Wow, wow, wow, Mandy.
(51:22):
I'm wondering if the ear grown on a mouse transplant
recipient just heard high squeaking.
Speaker 6 (51:28):
We'll never know.
Speaker 4 (51:30):
It will never know.
Speaker 5 (51:33):
The Coals Shopping Center and Parker in front of the
KOA tower has a special grounding system so the building
doesn't act as a giant receiver and play KOA through
the structure and electronics like phones.
Speaker 4 (51:45):
That's awesome.
Speaker 6 (51:48):
That would be so Could you.
Speaker 5 (51:49):
Imagine just walking into Coal's and you just like your
fillings start to vibrate with KOA.
Speaker 6 (51:55):
That would be so good, so good.
Speaker 5 (51:58):
Okay, when we get back, I'm going to do stuff
that's on the blog. I just found that interesting. You
guys delivered.
Speaker 4 (52:02):
Thank you. It's a Friday. It is a Friday.
Speaker 5 (52:06):
Now, I've got a bunch of stuff, including Mike Kaufman
welcoming a Trump visit, which I think is very smart.
Speaker 4 (52:13):
And I'll explain why Jeff Craik in the third.
Speaker 5 (52:16):
Congressional District picked up a really big endorsement that really
has to be sticking in fake GOP chairman Dave Williams
craw But I want to ask a bigger question, and
that is are we truly.
Speaker 4 (52:29):
Exhausted from politics?
Speaker 6 (52:31):
We'll talk about all that next.
Speaker 5 (52:33):
Right after this, feel free to text us at five
six six nine. Oh and this made me laugh pretty
hard hang on one's second. According to a twenty twenty survey,
forty four percent of people poop and text. So how
many people texting you are now pooping? Thank you for that,
(52:58):
because now I just have that image in my mom
I want to talk about this first.
Speaker 4 (53:05):
Donald Trump says he's coming to Aurora in the next
few weeks. Now, Donald Trump has.
Speaker 5 (53:13):
Really made immigration an issue, and the way he's going
about it employs like the worst stereotypes about immigration. But
the reality is this, people are far more motivated by
fear than they are by enthusiasm. And just as Kamala Harrison,
(53:36):
the Democrats are painting Donald Trump not just as the
wrong candidate, but as a existential threat to democracy who
will destroy our nation if he is re elected. They
do so to get up fear, because fear is more
powerful as a motivator than than enthusiasm. As Donald Trump
(53:57):
is leaning in on all things immigration, and I am
extremely concerned and upset about what's happening at the southern border.
I'm extremely concerned and upset about the amount of money
that is being spent on people who have come to
this country illegally. I am extremely upset and concerned about
how bad our legal immigration system is, and I am
(54:24):
extremely upset that we have not been able to take
care of this problem already. It's been on the table
for like forty years now, since the first amnesty in
nineteen eighty six, and we still.
Speaker 4 (54:36):
Haven't solved the problem because we still haven't secured the
southern border.
Speaker 5 (54:40):
All of that being said is a long way around
to get to this story, which is Mayor Miike Kauffman said, Hey,
if he wants to come to Aurora, that would be great.
I look forward to showing him the city and breaking
the narrative that this city is out of control when
it comes to Venezuelan gangs. Now, Mayor Kaufman finally acknowledged
(55:04):
that there was gang issues at two apartment complexes. But
what's become of this story is that it has now
been exaggerated into gangs have taken over Aurora. And I've
mentioned the fact that I got text messages from people saying,
oh my gosh, you're not close to Aurora, are you?
Speaker 4 (55:21):
And I text message back.
Speaker 5 (55:22):
Aurora is massive, it's a huge land area, and these
issues are happening in very small parts of Aurora that
I tend not to visit, so it's fine, So we'll
find out. Kaufin said, look, this is the best opportunity
we have to correct the record. He's right, of course,
But left wing council member Chrysal Marillo said he's just
(55:47):
coming out here for political gain.
Speaker 4 (55:48):
Yeah, yeah, that's what politicians do.
Speaker 5 (55:53):
She added that many people are making assumptions about Aurora
based on falsehoods, which is deeply concerning. She also said,
our police department has issued statements countless time saying that
this is not what's happening. But it's not working, is it.
The message isn't getting through. So let Trump come to Aura.
Let him find out what has actually happened, what's actually
(56:16):
going on where we are, and perhaps we can begin
to correct the record on where we are at this
moment in time, which there don't appear to be any
apartment complexes taken over by anyone at this moment. The
apartment complex situation is moving towards resolution. The slumlords are
being brought to bear. Hopefully that situation will be taken
(56:37):
care of and the people that live there will be
able to live in a habitable space this winter with
heat and things of that.
Speaker 6 (56:44):
Nature.
Speaker 4 (56:44):
That would be nice. Mandy. Prediction is Trump won't come
to Aurora.
Speaker 5 (56:48):
I'm inclined to believe you because of everything I just said,
and honestly, what Councilwoman Marilla said about this being politically
for political gain on everything, well mostly everything that happens
in the public eye right now is for the campaign.
Speaker 4 (57:06):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (57:08):
So yeah, Mandy, I sat down with my cat Pickles
last night, who told me he didn't like Trump personally,
but was going to support him in twenty twenty four
for his own safety and security. Loll, Mandy, and I
want to talk about this story next. I'm really tired
of the continual politics. The worst part is the blatant lying.
(57:32):
They led in the seventies and eighties, and now it's
just they lied in the seventies and eighties and now
it's just blatant.
Speaker 4 (57:37):
I'm seventy and I'm over it.
Speaker 5 (57:39):
Time shift and fast forward, correct, correct, So start interviewing
cops on the street.
Speaker 4 (57:50):
There is a big issue.
Speaker 5 (57:51):
If you can connect me with cops on the street
that are dealing with these issues, I would be more
than happy to talk with them off the air. There's
a story today Americans are exhausted with high stakes election.
Speaker 4 (58:06):
Described in apocalyptic terms. This is the most important election
of our lifetime.
Speaker 5 (58:13):
And then there's a story about how we live in
a permanent political cycle, and that is accurate. I have
long advocated, I mean for years, that I don't think
the race for president should be able to get started
in any significant way until one year before the election date,
(58:34):
Like nobody can announce before November fourth. Now, if you
want to work behind behind the scenes and start getting
your money operations in order, start creating an exploratory pack
all of that stuff, do whatever you want to do.
Speaker 6 (58:45):
But I just don't want to talk.
Speaker 5 (58:47):
About it until the November before the election. I think
that's plenty of time. Gives all the states plenty of
time to have their primaries, gives us plenty of time
to have our conventions.
Speaker 4 (58:59):
But I'm just I'm sick of talking about it. And
if it wasn't so consequential, if the federal government races
didn't matter so much because we've given the federal government.
Speaker 5 (59:08):
Way too much power, I probably would you be okay
with it. I don't know, Mandy will Trump talk to
truth teller Jerinsky or liar Kaufman can't believe anything polist
Kaufman or Clark is saying about it because of all
the gas lighting. First, Greg, that is unfortunate, but that
is where we are.
Speaker 6 (59:27):
But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (59:28):
Mayor Kaufman has come out and said, look, there were issues,
so I'm giving him a pass on that and why
bother talking about the other one? So I'm just wondering
from you guys, and you can text me at five
six six nine oh and I'll share some of the
answers on the other side of the break. What would
(59:49):
be the right amount of time and be reasonable?
Speaker 4 (59:53):
We still have to have primaries.
Speaker 5 (59:54):
Across the country, We still have to have time to campaign,
We still have to have time, debates, blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (59:59):
Convention, the whole nine yards. So don't tell me a week.
What reasonable amount of time do.
Speaker 5 (01:00:04):
You think we should we should construct a political campaign season?
What would the time frame be for you? For me,
it's one year from election day, not a day before.
Speaker 4 (01:00:18):
One year. Plenty of time. Five six six nine oh.
Speaker 5 (01:00:21):
Is where you send your text messages five sixty six
nine oh. And we will have those answers and another
story about a big endorsement for Jeff Crank in the
third Congressional district.
Speaker 4 (01:00:35):
And I bet you the Dave Williams has choking on
this one.
Speaker 5 (01:00:39):
And to that I respond, ha fifth Congressional District, my apologies.
Speaker 4 (01:00:45):
You may remember.
Speaker 5 (01:00:47):
A former GOP chairman, Dave Williams, because I have recognized
Eli Bremer as the rightful Colorado chairman.
Speaker 4 (01:00:54):
Former Chairman Dave Williams.
Speaker 5 (01:00:57):
One of the reasons I dislike him so and believe
him to be incredibly unethical is that he remained Colorado
chairman even if as he was running for the fifth
Congressional district nomination. The fifth congressional district, I would you
could knock me over with a feather if it flipped
to a Democrat.
Speaker 6 (01:01:17):
I just would be shocked.
Speaker 5 (01:01:19):
So who everyone's the primary in that is going to
probably win the race, And now Jeff Crank may have
been helped by a Trump endorsement. Jeff Crank is the
guy who ran against Dave Williams, who then used party
funds to attack other Republicans and did things that were
so outside the bylaws in the mainstream.
Speaker 4 (01:01:40):
That he had to go and he lost. He got
his butt kited.
Speaker 5 (01:01:45):
He lost almost two to one to Jeff Crank and
now Crank has secured the Trump endorsement. So I haven't
talked about what's going on with Israel and Hasbla today,
but I have got to share something that just came
across my screen a moment ago. It is from the
BattleSwarm blog, and BattleSwarm is uh. They do a lot
of stuff on military action and things of that nature
(01:02:08):
their battleswarmblog dot com.
Speaker 6 (01:02:12):
Sorry, good, thank cups.
Speaker 4 (01:02:15):
Listen to this so we all know what we think happened.
Speaker 5 (01:02:18):
Like as Belah, because they believe cell phones could be tracked,
which they can, they told other fighters to not use
cell phones anymore.
Speaker 4 (01:02:26):
But no worries.
Speaker 5 (01:02:27):
They were going to order these pagers from a Taiwanese company,
and they ordered these pagers, and everybody thought that at
some point Israel had intercepted the pagers and put a
small amount of explosive.
Speaker 4 (01:02:40):
In each of the pagers and then.
Speaker 5 (01:02:42):
Set them off in a series of explosions across Lebanon
this week. But that's not what happened. It's even bigger
and more devious. This is Hollywood level stuff. Here, let
me find where I'm looking for here. Sure, unbeknownst to
(01:03:04):
Hesbela Israel had been secretly manufacturing the pagers that Hesbela
was buying. Four years the Taiwanese company Gold Apollo had
contracted with a company called BAC Consulting in Hungary to
manufacture the pagers. BAC Consulting was one of three shell
(01:03:26):
companies that Israel created to mask the true manufacture of
the communications equipment, which.
Speaker 4 (01:03:33):
Is Israeli intelligence.
Speaker 5 (01:03:36):
BAC Consulting created real pagers for numerous customers to create
the perception of a legitimate company in order to get
picked up for the contract to produce the pagers for Hesbola.
The pagers manufactured for Hesbola were separate from those made
for other clients. The pagers that Hesbela received contained battery's
(01:04:00):
laced with the explosive PETN and began shipping in twenty
twenty two. Interesting this blogger said, one of my objections
to the planted explosives idea was that there was no
way for explosives in the battery compartment to access the
antenna circuitry to receive the detonation signal. But if Israel
(01:04:24):
had designed the pagers from the ground up to go boom,
then obviously that's not a problem. Seriously, people, seriously, the
blogger continues. My other objection was that Israel would be
better off gathering intel from the pagers than making them
go boom. But if they manufacture them, they probably have
(01:04:45):
all the intel they need on locations of leadership, warehouses, weapons,
et cetera. It looks like Israel was the one that
blinded Hesbela, not the reverse. It may also explain, says
the blogger, why Israel hasn't assassinated Nozraala yet he's the
head of HESBLA, because he's evidently an idiot. Yeah, that's
(01:05:09):
kind of fascinating. This whole thing is just like crazier
and crazier and crazier.
Speaker 4 (01:05:19):
Just crazy. Now, when we get back, we got the
two minute drill coming up. Later in the hour. We're
gonna talk to a race car driver from Colorado Speedway.
It's all gonna come up, big hour. Nothing to see.
Speaker 5 (01:05:31):
Got lots of things on the blog. We're not gonna
get to you today. You know, the blog is like
a companion to the show. You look at the blog,
you listen to the show.
Speaker 6 (01:05:40):
It all comes together.
Speaker 5 (01:05:43):
We will do Kamala's word salad. We're gonna do that
as part of the two minute Drill, Kamala with Oprah
and what can only be described as the softest softball
of softballing interviews in the history of softballing. And even
then Kamala has to make up a salad instead of
(01:06:04):
just answering a question.
Speaker 6 (01:06:05):
We'll do all that next.
Speaker 1 (01:06:07):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and injury Lawyers.
Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
No, it's Mandy connellyn.
Speaker 9 (01:06:21):
FM, sad Way Say and the Nicety Preyvnyconnell, Keithing Real.
Speaker 4 (01:06:31):
Sad Thing Pococa Welcome.
Speaker 7 (01:06:34):
Now.
Speaker 4 (01:06:34):
I know I just said I was doing the two
minute drill, but then on the break I saw something
that it's got me gobsmacked. I I just want to
share it with you.
Speaker 5 (01:06:46):
I mean, maybe I might be overreacting right, maybe this
maybe just hit me sideways a little bit, but I
just want to play this little story from MSNBC.
Speaker 4 (01:06:57):
Okay, just bear with me because I just need to know.
Speaker 5 (01:07:02):
Am I alone and I'm having emotions and I just
want to know if I'm maybe I'm okay here, let
me just play it.
Speaker 6 (01:07:12):
Attendance today as well.
Speaker 12 (01:07:13):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, this is an important and interesting
cabinet meeting because of who is not there, which was
Vice President Harris obviously, who has her campaign schedule, but
then because of the spotlight that the First Lady did have.
She's talked about the fact that sometimes the White House,
in her words, surprises you. And for somebody who has
worked on women's health issues for her whole career, frankly
(01:07:33):
as a teacher, but also as the Second Lady and
now as the First Lady, she said one of the
things that struck her the most was the inequities in
medical research funding for medical research for women. So this
is an important priority of hers that she had the
opportunity to add this cabinet meeting to spotlight. And as
you had that great interview with her Peter talking about
the fact that, yes, a burden may have been lifted
from her husband's shoulder in one respect with the end
(01:07:56):
of his campaign, but there's still a lot of work
that they both intend to do during their life.
Speaker 5 (01:08:00):
A few months ago now, it says the Chiron says,
First Lady joins President Biden in cabinet meeting.
Speaker 4 (01:08:07):
But in the long shot, I didn't see him. Maybe
she has him in her purse.
Speaker 5 (01:08:14):
I don't know, But this This morning, I was driving
to work and I was listening Jimmy Sengerberg's filling in
for Ross, and I was listening to Jimmy talk about
the very valid question of who.
Speaker 4 (01:08:28):
Is running our country right now. Don't get me wrong,
I don't want.
Speaker 5 (01:08:33):
It to be Joe Biden because I do believe that
his mental acuity is far worse than we even imagine
after that debate, and I think that the world knows it,
and I think that we have a vacuum of power
at the top and the fact that no one's talking
about it and that no one is expressing the concern.
Speaker 4 (01:08:55):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (01:08:55):
Do you know why they're not invoking the twenty fifth Amendment?
Because they want Kamala on the campaign trail. So they're
willing to let a man who was so mentally deficient
that they got together and kicked him out of the
primary that he had already won and replaced him with
(01:09:17):
another person, just like hey, were you were just going
to replace this person.
Speaker 4 (01:09:22):
I need that. Hang on second, I want to play this.
Speaker 5 (01:09:25):
This is Nancy Pelosi at the National Association of Black Journalists,
and I want you to listen to what Nancy Pelosi
said about the primary process that elevated Kamala Harris to
where she is today. Oh geez, every time I moved,
the cursor moves the I just need, just need to
sneak in there.
Speaker 6 (01:09:46):
Do that.
Speaker 13 (01:09:46):
You had reportedly said you wanted a sort of an
open primary. When if Joe Biden stepped down, did you
changed your mind because you saw all the excitement around
Kamala Harris.
Speaker 6 (01:10:00):
No, I didn't change my mind.
Speaker 10 (01:10:01):
We had an open primary and she won it.
Speaker 4 (01:10:03):
Nobody else got in the race because she was politically
a student. Listen, then that is the National Association of
Black Journalists clapping as San fran Man, San Francisco.
Speaker 5 (01:10:19):
Nancy Pelosi lied through her teeth. There was no primary.
Speaker 4 (01:10:27):
Not a single vote was cast for Kamala Harris in
any election cycle.
Speaker 6 (01:10:33):
She got the.
Speaker 5 (01:10:33):
Electors, but the electors were pretty much just told to
fall in line, and they did. So I'm gonna play
that for you one more time.
Speaker 13 (01:10:43):
You had reportedly said you wanted a sort of an
open primary. When if Joe Biden stepped down, did you
changed your mind because you saw all the excitement around
Kamala Harris.
Speaker 4 (01:10:57):
No, I didn't change my mind.
Speaker 10 (01:10:58):
We had an open primary.
Speaker 7 (01:10:59):
And she won it.
Speaker 4 (01:11:00):
Nobody else got in the race because she was politically
a student and that was the thought, let's show our talent.
We have a great bench.
Speaker 5 (01:11:10):
And then she goes on blah blah blah blah blah,
and what's funny is you have And I didn't put
any of this on the blog today, but Hillary Clinton
has come out and said, you know, the free speech,
she didn't say it like this, misinformation must be stopped
and sometimes it might take jail time.
Speaker 4 (01:11:26):
Tim Walt says misinformation.
Speaker 5 (01:11:28):
Isn't protected speech, except it is, because if it wasn't,
Nancy Pelosi would be in prison.
Speaker 4 (01:11:33):
By now for stuff like this. So I guess Biden
was at the cabinet meeting.
Speaker 6 (01:11:42):
Okay, good.
Speaker 5 (01:11:43):
President Biden convened his cabinet on Friday for the first
time of a year, and Jill Biden joined him for
the meeting, So you know, I mean, I guess he's there.
This whole thing is just it's all weird, it's all strange.
And now let me get you some of the stories
(01:12:03):
that would have been in the HW minute drill. So
you guys need to go and vote for the coolest
thing made in Colorado.
Speaker 4 (01:12:11):
They have a People's Choice Award.
Speaker 5 (01:12:12):
This is such a cool thing that the Colorado Chamber
of Commerce does, and we talk about it every year
after they announce the coolest things made in Colorado.
Speaker 4 (01:12:20):
But you can actually vote.
Speaker 5 (01:12:22):
They've got finalists that you can check from and a
lot of them are cool medical stuff. Gyroscope. Who doesn't
need a gyroscope? Freedom tracks. I kind of love this one.
It's a motorized off road attachment designed for manual wheelchairs.
It allows people who have to use a wheelchair to
(01:12:44):
be able to go over rough surfaces so they can
actually go down a path. And it replaces traditional wheels
with a track system.
Speaker 6 (01:12:51):
That's super cool.
Speaker 5 (01:12:52):
Then, of course great Range, Premium, Bison cut Pison, handmade
woodsaw jigsaw puzzles from Liberty Puzzles. Maybe we can reach
out to them to have them make our puzzle of
the Governor's face when he had to talk to me.
Speaker 4 (01:13:06):
A PC twenty four jet is the world's only.
Speaker 5 (01:13:09):
Business jet capable of landing on unpaved surfaces such as dirt,
grass and gravel. It's a drug dealer's stream, my friends.
I mean, I don't act like you guys didn't think it.
We've all seen those movies from the eighties.
Speaker 1 (01:13:24):
We know.
Speaker 5 (01:13:27):
Pre tread sustainable barriers and barricades made from ninety five
percent recycled materials seventy to eight one hundred scrap tires
per barrier.
Speaker 6 (01:13:36):
That's kind of cool.
Speaker 5 (01:13:38):
Solar powered cold storage, sustainable handmade terra Cotta tiles. Terra
Cotta is having a moment right now, and apparently these
tiles are using sediment from the Paioneer Reservoir and capturing
methane from abandoned goal mines. The tiles support climate action
and sustainable manufacturing. The methane, what otherwise contributes significant climate pollution,
(01:14:02):
is utilized to power kilns and facility, creating a greenin
solution for producing high quality ceramics. Particular tile is based
in Montrose. See, I love all this stuff. Go vote
for your favorite. We also need to talk for just nope,
you know, and I don't have time to do that.
I'm looking to see the story of the cabinet meeting
with Joe Biden.
Speaker 6 (01:14:22):
I was like, what.
Speaker 5 (01:14:25):
When you get back, I have a question. Can you
write a mystery in six words? This is the kind
of contest that I absolutely love. A six word mystery?
Would you like to know what last year's winner was.
Speaker 7 (01:14:43):
I can tell you.
Speaker 6 (01:14:44):
I just have to find it on the blog.
Speaker 5 (01:14:46):
One second, last year's six word mystery winner was this,
I called his widow.
Speaker 4 (01:14:52):
He answered, that's good. That's good.
Speaker 6 (01:14:57):
Now I do a limerick.
Speaker 7 (01:15:00):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (01:15:01):
I might have gotten not ahead of my skis on
that one. Okay, I might.
Speaker 5 (01:15:05):
I might have over committed and under delivered on the
limericks situation. I do recognize my limitations here. That being said,
why don't we take a commercial break and forget all
about that unpleasantness?
Speaker 6 (01:15:15):
Can I just.
Speaker 4 (01:15:18):
Challenge you for a moment, and I'm going to use
your or use a contest from the Colorado Sun to
challenge you. I love stuff like this. Write a mystery
in six words. That's the contest, But there's five different categories.
The five categories are thriller, cozy romance and lust, police, procedural,
(01:15:40):
and hard boiled noir. Now what do you do here?
You write a mystery in six words? And this is
just super fun.
Speaker 5 (01:15:53):
The contest draws from a legendary tale where someone challenged
Ernest Hemingway in a ten dollars bit in the nineteen twenties.
He said, write a six word novel, and Ernest Hemingway
came back with for Sale Baby.
Speaker 4 (01:16:09):
Shoes Never Worn. So you get the concept here.
Speaker 5 (01:16:15):
And I thought it might be interesting to have you
guys write six words a six word description of the.
Speaker 4 (01:16:23):
Mandy Connell Show. Now it's a challenge. You don't have
to do it today.
Speaker 5 (01:16:26):
You can work on it. You can email me later.
I might even be able to get a prize of
some sort, some sort of prize. Maybe we shall see five, six, six,
nine O is where you can text it Mandy and
a Rod. My six word mystery is what does Kamala
Harris think anyway?
Speaker 2 (01:16:45):
Not bad?
Speaker 4 (01:16:46):
That's a political six word mystery, A six word mystery
Kamala Harris as the presidential candidate. I'm seeing a theme here.
I'm seeing a theme on this.
Speaker 7 (01:17:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:17:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:17:03):
By the way, why don't the Republicans get involved in
the twenty fifth Amendment thing? It has to be done
by someone in the cabinet or the vice president. It's
not just anybody. I don't know now that I said that,
you'd have to have a whole bunch of people that
stood up and said it at the same time.
Speaker 4 (01:17:19):
And I don't know if that's going to be Uh,
thanks for the.
Speaker 5 (01:17:22):
Opportunity to share, says this text her. I do work,
but after I make lunch for students. That's the lunchroom
lady who's listening to us from the lunch room today.
Speaker 4 (01:17:32):
I was thinking about this. I actually sent this to
my daughter. My daughter is a writer, and I say that.
You know, everybody's like, oh, my kid's going to be
a doctor, my kid's going to be president. Now, my
kid is a writer. And it started when she was
very young.
Speaker 5 (01:17:48):
From the time she could actually write letters on the paper,
she's been writing stories and the stories have always been hilarious.
Speaker 4 (01:17:58):
There was that time Goldielaw was trapped in a castle. No,
she was a princess.
Speaker 6 (01:18:04):
Excuse me.
Speaker 4 (01:18:04):
Goldilocks was a different story.
Speaker 5 (01:18:06):
So a princess was trapped in a castle because her
parents wanted her to be a cheerleader, but she just
wanted to be best friends with a bear that lived
in the woods, and so she ran away from home
and went to live with the bear. But then the
bear attacked her, so she killed the bear the end.
I think she was like five or six when she
(01:18:28):
wrote that story. And I didn't get it exactly right,
but I got the gist, so I sent it to her.
I said, you gotta do this, You got to enter
this contest. I love stuff like this because people are
so clever. Do not be the person, by the way,
who uses AI to come up with this, because that's
cheating and it's not nice. Oh, so I asked you
(01:18:51):
to describe the Mandy Connell Show in six words. Tall, blond, knowledgeable, feisty,
kicks ass yes, yes, indeed, Mandy.
Speaker 4 (01:19:01):
He's dead, bullet hole, no stilettos.
Speaker 5 (01:19:05):
That's good, Mandy noon to three A to Z. That's
a little bit cheating when you lose a letter. As
a number radio host, outspoken commentator, insightful storyteller, Mandy hot
topic can lead anywhere you get in the hang of it.
Speaker 4 (01:19:21):
But I really want it to be like an actual
story of the show. I'll work online in this break.
Speaker 5 (01:19:27):
But then when we come back, we're gonna talk to
a guy who not only races cars, his whole family
races cars, and we're.
Speaker 4 (01:19:33):
Gonna talk to him about that. It's kind of just
a living, but I don't think he does it for
a living.
Speaker 6 (01:19:38):
It's just for fun.
Speaker 5 (01:19:39):
We'll do our new segment just for fun after this,
and as someone who has As I said earlier, I've
written in a pace car, I've had that experience.
Speaker 4 (01:19:52):
I don't like to drive where I feel like.
Speaker 6 (01:19:55):
I could die.
Speaker 4 (01:19:57):
I mean that's.
Speaker 6 (01:20:00):
I'll drive fast, you know, but when.
Speaker 4 (01:20:03):
You drive fast enough this things start shaking. I'm like,
you know, I don't feel good about this. You just
walk that back a little.
Speaker 5 (01:20:09):
Bit, walk it back. We're gonna do that after the news,
traffic and weather. Paul Himler, he is little drummer boy,
but he was white chocolate.
Speaker 4 (01:20:18):
Now wait a minute.
Speaker 5 (01:20:19):
First of all, if I become a race car driver, Paul,
do I get to choose my own nickname.
Speaker 7 (01:20:24):
You can try to choose it, but normally the race
car drivers around you will help and create one that
doesn't flattering.
Speaker 4 (01:20:33):
So you used to be white chocolate, Yes, and that
came from.
Speaker 7 (01:20:37):
People have seen me dance and we tend to be
the party trailer at the end of the night and
a Rod comes around to visit us. And since I'm
a white guy and I dance like Jackson, Oh wow.
Speaker 4 (01:20:51):
A rod just kicking you right under the bus there,
that's what that was.
Speaker 7 (01:20:55):
Yeah, We've had a friendly competition at the track and
he did lose.
Speaker 4 (01:20:58):
Is there any it's worth going on?
Speaker 6 (01:20:59):
Is there in?
Speaker 4 (01:21:00):
Is there slow bought? What's happening?
Speaker 6 (01:21:01):
What's going on?
Speaker 7 (01:21:02):
It's a little bit of everything. It's mostly eighties and
nineties kind of hip hop stuff.
Speaker 4 (01:21:06):
Nice, yes, very nice. And then little Drummer Boy is
what you've been named by Anthony?
Speaker 6 (01:21:12):
Yeah, he gave that to me.
Speaker 7 (01:21:13):
I play in an eighties band. I'm a drummer, and
he came to see one of our gigs and came
away with Little Drummer Boy, So it's kind of stuck.
Speaker 6 (01:21:20):
Well, a fantastic drummer. I'm a million times better than
a dancer. Let me ask you.
Speaker 5 (01:21:26):
Let me ask this question about your eighties band, because
I just went and watched an eighties band and I
found myself paul out on the dance floor with a
bunch of elderly people. And I was shocked and confused
by this, and then I realized I am very quickly
becoming an elderly person.
Speaker 7 (01:21:43):
Yeah, there is that. The band is named Stereo Collision,
And although most of the patrons are my age I'm
fifty eight, we do have a younger crowd, and even
my kids that are in their younger twenties, they tend
to come out and just love the music.
Speaker 6 (01:21:58):
A lot of sensible shoes.
Speaker 7 (01:22:00):
Crab Absolutely.
Speaker 10 (01:22:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:22:01):
So let's talk about racing cars. How did you get
into racing cars?
Speaker 4 (01:22:05):
Huh?
Speaker 7 (01:22:06):
So? Back in the day, to blow time off on
a Saturday, my wife and I used to go to
the racetrack color On National Speedway and they had things
called circle drags where everybody can get in their daily driver,
their minivan, their work truck, whatever they had during intermission
and run around and compete. And I did that four
different times and we won it. And the last time
I did it, I almost spun and almost hit the wall,
(01:22:27):
and my wife said, you're you're an.
Speaker 4 (01:22:29):
Idiot, Like, what are you in Evolvo? What are you
driving around the ice drive?
Speaker 9 (01:22:32):
G eight?
Speaker 7 (01:22:33):
It's it's a fairly high powered car. Yeah, And she said,
you know what, you're an idiot. Why don't you just
go buy a race car? And I'm like, what did you?
Speaker 5 (01:22:41):
And then she wanted to just shove those words back
in her mouth, but it was too late. They were
already out in the ether.
Speaker 7 (01:22:46):
They were and kind of the rest is history. We
investigated a legend car to start off.
Speaker 4 (01:22:52):
With, and what is the legend car. I know nothing
about this kind of race.
Speaker 7 (01:22:55):
There, that's the one on the back of my shirt.
It's a small, like a third scale race cars. Got
a motorcycle motor in it and forty horse powers, basically
a souped up go kart, very souped up gold cart. Yeah,
and there's like thirty to forty of them on the
racetrack at one time, so it's very competitive. A lot
of the NASCAR guys start in these cars.
Speaker 6 (01:23:13):
Yeah, so they do well.
Speaker 4 (01:23:15):
And do they count as a funny car?
Speaker 6 (01:23:17):
They do not.
Speaker 4 (01:23:18):
What is a funny car?
Speaker 7 (01:23:19):
Funny cars? Dragsters?
Speaker 6 (01:23:20):
Oh that's right, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 7 (01:23:21):
Yeah, we go circle circle.
Speaker 6 (01:23:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:23:23):
Drag racing is a whole different beast.
Speaker 5 (01:23:25):
I've never been to a louder sporting event, and I've
been to monster trucks in an arena. Never been to
a sporting event louder than drag racing. I had earplugs,
I had headphones, and it still made my ears ring
the next day.
Speaker 9 (01:23:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (01:23:38):
Crazy, it's insane, and we're pretty loud at the track.
So I got a car, started racing one year. We
went to nationals our first year. Then my daughter, who's
never been in a stick shift or a race car.
Wanted to get into it, and so we bought her
a car and she's been racing that ever since. I
know she is twenty four now, so how long has
she been racing since seventeen?
Speaker 9 (01:23:59):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (01:23:59):
Wow, a long time. Yeah, we started late in our life.
Speaker 7 (01:24:02):
Most of these people that are good race car drivers
are starting at four and a half five years old
and working their way.
Speaker 9 (01:24:07):
Sure.
Speaker 5 (01:24:07):
Yeah, I tried to get the queue behind the wheel
at four and five, but she was like, no, Mommy,
I want to play with dolls. You kind of come
from a family of speed freaks.
Speaker 10 (01:24:17):
We do.
Speaker 7 (01:24:17):
Yeah, it's been a big family affair. My other daughters
are pit crew. She's also our spotter, so she's involved.
My wife takes care of all the race day preparations
and all of the cooking and alcoholic beverages that are
particularly absolutely takes care of all the music, all that
(01:24:38):
good stuff. And my father was into cars back in
the day. And then of course my brother used to
fly jets with the Blue Angels, so he's a speed
freak as well.
Speaker 4 (01:24:47):
So have you always been a thrill seeker?
Speaker 7 (01:24:50):
You know, I haven't. I've been involved in competitive sports
my whole life, and ever since my body has deteriorated,
I need something to fill that void. And something came
along and it was racing.
Speaker 4 (01:25:02):
Now, what are your what are.
Speaker 5 (01:25:04):
Your goals or aspirations? Is this just a fun hobby
at this level and that's where.
Speaker 10 (01:25:09):
It is for you?
Speaker 5 (01:25:10):
Does your daughter have any aspirations of going further and
trying to become a professional driver.
Speaker 7 (01:25:14):
Uh, we'd like to say yes, but that's not really reality.
We go out to have fun. The biggest and most
important part of our night is at the end of
the night when they open up the pits for all
the fans to come back and sign autographs. The huge
line is always behind my daughter's race car, all the women,
even the men, the young girls. That that's what we
(01:25:34):
really live for is today, Thank you very much, Hey Rod,
that's what we live for. We are not financed play
any and we have no sponsorships. That's all out of
pocket for us, and so it's just the local thing.
We we have a great racetrack here in Colorado and
we just go out to have fun.
Speaker 4 (01:25:51):
I was gonna ask you when you start buying race cars, I.
Speaker 5 (01:25:54):
Mean, what do you what are you expending in a
year on this hobby and and if you ever added
it up and then to your wife what she started
and blame.
Speaker 4 (01:26:01):
It on her, that's what I would do.
Speaker 7 (01:26:03):
I would know it's a lot of money. We don't
add it up. We try to create a budget at
the beginning of the year, and this year we got
into four different wrecks and it just destroyed our budget
within a month of the race season. It's rather expensive.
They try to keep the price down. The track does
a good job at that. But to buy a race
(01:26:23):
car like that's on my shirt that my daughter runs,
is about fifteen to twenty thousand dollars to start to
move up, and to run a Grand American Modified or
a pro truck, you're talking twenty to forty five thousand
dollars for the vehicle.
Speaker 10 (01:26:37):
Right.
Speaker 7 (01:26:37):
You've got weekly maintenance, you gotta buy tires, you gotta
buy fuel. That's ten dollars a gallon at the racetrack.
So it adds up because.
Speaker 5 (01:26:44):
You're not using like you're not pulling up the costco
and gassing up the racecar.
Speaker 7 (01:26:48):
Man, No, man, we have to use one hundred and
ten octane at the racetrack.
Speaker 4 (01:26:51):
One hundred and ten octane.
Speaker 7 (01:26:53):
Yes, ma'am, that's insane. It burns pretty good.
Speaker 4 (01:26:57):
And how much do you go through it a night?
Speaker 6 (01:26:59):
It's not a lot.
Speaker 7 (01:27:00):
In her car, she'll run through maybe five gallons. Yeah,
in the big trucks, you'll double that.
Speaker 4 (01:27:06):
Have you ever gotten into an accident? It almost died.
Speaker 7 (01:27:09):
We've gotten into some pretty bad accidents. I've been knocked
out unconscious, had to be taken to the hospital three times.
My daughter's been taking the hospital twice. So it's it's
a rough sport. But I tell you what, I'd rather
be strapped into a race car going as fast as
we are versus going down I twenty five in my
daily driver without a doubt.
Speaker 5 (01:27:28):
Is that because the drivers at least on the racetrack
and theory have some kind of training and you, you know,
you have a little more control in that situation.
Speaker 7 (01:27:36):
No, it's just the safety gear we wear is insane.
You're in a fall fire shuit, you got a Han's
device on, You're strapped in like a fighter jet, and
the cars are built to take those kind of hits.
Speaker 4 (01:27:47):
What do you mean those kind of hits?
Speaker 6 (01:27:49):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (01:27:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:27:50):
So do I try to avoid anything that involves me
getting hit by anything in any way, shape or for it.
Speaker 7 (01:27:54):
Yeah, normally, No, I don't say normally. Every now and
again you will bump against another competitor, and if you're unlucky,
you will then hit the concrete wall. So when you
tend to hit a concrete wall, that's what they say.
When you had a concrete wall at eighty five miles
an hour, it tends to leave a mark.
Speaker 4 (01:28:12):
How much do you spend or not?
Speaker 5 (01:28:14):
How much time do you spend repairing the body of
these cars after a race?
Speaker 7 (01:28:20):
That's a great question. When I first got into racing,
I just thought you'd show up on a Saturday night,
strap yourself in, go out and have fun. I never
knew that it was this much work. We're working on
race cars every day of the week, every day and then.
Speaker 4 (01:28:35):
But you're doing this as a family.
Speaker 6 (01:28:36):
We are.
Speaker 7 (01:28:37):
My daughter works on her own car. She'll get in
there and wrench on, change oil, just she'll take motors
out herself, put them back in. It's a huge family event.
Speaker 5 (01:28:45):
Can I just go ahead and get her number now?
For all the guys that are about to text me
and say I'd like to meet this woman.
Speaker 7 (01:28:49):
That would be so awesome. She is so in need
of a guy. When me just put that out there.
Speaker 5 (01:28:54):
I know you're listening to you that your daughter is
now screaming at the radio right now.
Speaker 6 (01:29:04):
Yeah, So I think this is the cool way.
Speaker 5 (01:29:06):
I mean, if if the whole family's involved, then then
it is your family hobby in it. It probably you
guys probably spend more time together because of it.
Speaker 8 (01:29:14):
Oh, we do.
Speaker 6 (01:29:15):
And to have girls involved with it.
Speaker 7 (01:29:17):
There's not a lot of ladies out there at the track,
and it's just a huge thing to get young girls
into racing and to get young drivers into racing. And
that's what we're trying to show. We're trying to build
a sport. We're trying to keep our track here in
Colorado alive. There's a lot of other tracks that have
closed down recently, and so we're very fortunate to have
a great track literally in my backyard. It's five minutes
away from our lift.
Speaker 5 (01:29:38):
Well, I mean, you have all these young kids that
are trying to make two two five a track or
downtown Aurora track or whatever, and it's like, why don't
you go and take advantage of some of these opportunities.
Speaker 4 (01:29:47):
What are some of the things they do with the racetrack?
Speaker 5 (01:29:49):
It would allow to your point you started, because they
let anybody on the racetrack.
Speaker 7 (01:29:54):
Yeah, they can for sure come out. It's the first
Saturday of every month. They just sign up online or
at the racetrack and they bring their daily driver out there.
They also have special events where they can do drifting
and things like that on a Sunday. So there are
events and we also do Uh, there's drivers out there
that'll let up and coming drivers or want to be
drivers get in their race car and tool around the racetracks.
Speaker 6 (01:30:16):
I'm well, that's really cool.
Speaker 7 (01:30:18):
So if you want to come out and see what
it's all about, jumping my race car, go around around
a little bit and see if it's something that you're
interested in.
Speaker 4 (01:30:24):
Now, Paul, you're not a tiny man, but you're not
a large man. How much space is there in these
race cars? Like what is the average height weight of
a driver?
Speaker 7 (01:30:33):
Yeah, it's all over the place. We have We have
kids the age of twelve years old that'll get in
these cars. It's all about the proper seat and placement
of the pedals. And we have guys that are six
three two fifty in those cars.
Speaker 4 (01:30:46):
How does a kid how does a kid get to drive?
Speaker 6 (01:30:49):
The car.
Speaker 7 (01:30:49):
Legally, there are specific age groups that are dictated to
us by the governing bodies, either IX or NASCAR. INX
happens to mandate twelve years old. It used to be
fourteen prior to this year, and now it is down
to twelve.
Speaker 4 (01:31:03):
Well, I mean, are they trying to expand the hook
them you kind of thing? What's the logic behind that?
Speaker 7 (01:31:08):
Yeah, they're trying to hook them me on. And right
now the Kyle Bushes and the Kevin Harvick's, all the
big NASCAR drivers, their kids are now twelve years old.
Speaker 4 (01:31:15):
Ah, they're now all makes sense?
Speaker 7 (01:31:19):
All the money thing this is.
Speaker 5 (01:31:21):
This is definitely a dynasty sport, right is That's just
because like, and I'm not a huge NASCAR fan, but
growing up in Florida, you just have to be aware
of it, especially because I lived in the redneck part
of Florida, So it does seem like that it is
easier to get your foot in the door if you
are part of a racing family.
Speaker 6 (01:31:38):
That's for sure.
Speaker 7 (01:31:39):
You have all the connections, you have the sponsorship packages
that come along with it, and that's a big advantage.
You know. We have some a division out of color
National Speedway it's called super late models. And those race
cars are one hundred and fifty two hundred thousand dollars
race cars and they come with full trailers and full
pit crews and all that stuff. And most of those
guys have gotten in because they've started or had a
(01:32:00):
connection when they are very young.
Speaker 4 (01:32:01):
So what do you have sponsors at this level?
Speaker 7 (01:32:05):
We we do not as a team, but there's a
lot of folks out there that do have sponsorships.
Speaker 4 (01:32:09):
Yes, that's really cool.
Speaker 6 (01:32:10):
So what do you have on your suit?
Speaker 7 (01:32:12):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (01:32:13):
You put a Mandy Connall show a patch on your suit?
If I get one made, you get one made, I'll
put it all over that's happening. Yes, that is happening.
I'll put your name on the side of my race
if I give you fifty bucks. Am I now your sponsor?
And as the only sponsor we're going to completely bring
How about this? How much do you think it would
cost to have a fire suit made with my face
all over it?
Speaker 9 (01:32:32):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (01:32:33):
That would be I'd wear that.
Speaker 4 (01:32:34):
Wouldn't that be called?
Speaker 7 (01:32:35):
I would wear that?
Speaker 6 (01:32:36):
For sure?
Speaker 4 (01:32:36):
So we got to find that out.
Speaker 5 (01:32:37):
You know, at a minimum, we have an air freshener
hanging in your car with my face on its Yes,
there you go.
Speaker 4 (01:32:43):
No, the Mandy Condall Show is fully sponsoring his race car.
Speaker 6 (01:32:46):
This is happening.
Speaker 4 (01:32:47):
So the season is almost over though, isn't it.
Speaker 7 (01:32:49):
It is October fifth is our last race, and that's
a big race for the fans because we open up
the track and all the kids get to come out
and do trick or treat at the race cars. It's
really cool.
Speaker 5 (01:32:59):
One text I'll take care of the kids while she races,
So I would definitely let you get inside my come
out to the race car and see purple pain and
you know, sweeper off her feet. But it's going to
take a special man to to be the right match
for her. As a strong woman myself, trust me, it
is harder to find the kind of guy who can
(01:33:20):
allow you to shine and not have it hurt their ego.
Speaker 7 (01:33:22):
That's very true. And she would say that I'm I'm
a little bit getting in the way of making this
all happen, So I'm kind of a tough dad.
Speaker 5 (01:33:31):
Well, okay, so what do you want? Do you want
grandkids or do you want to be a tough dad?
Pick one, pick it now, right now on the air,
Paul tough Dad okay, yeah, sorry.
Speaker 4 (01:33:39):
Trust me as a grandmother. You want grandkids do I? Yeah, okay,
lay off, lay off, don't scare them all away. Let
her scare them all away, off away, and they're in
their own self. So what is the next kind of
what's the next step up in cars? And are you
going to make that move too?
Speaker 7 (01:33:58):
So at color National Speedway in Colorado, we start off
with bandos, that's the little kids six, eight, ten years old,
and then you go to legends, which is what my
daughter's running. From there, you can move up to pure
stock superstock you can run.
Speaker 4 (01:34:12):
Are those closer to what we see on the NASCAR?
Because those are stock cars?
Speaker 7 (01:34:15):
Right? They call it stock cars? But no, the NASCAR
equivalent is what we call super late models? Okay, and
they look and function pretty darn close. We have pro
trucks and Grand American Modified and then we got figure
eights and trains, which are always crowd favorites.
Speaker 6 (01:34:29):
Out of the track is that where you.
Speaker 4 (01:34:31):
Just go around and to figureate and race into each other?
What is it? We're laughing?
Speaker 6 (01:34:35):
The train is that you're asking about?
Speaker 2 (01:34:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (01:34:36):
Figure des No, Paul, tell her what trains are?
Speaker 7 (01:34:38):
So trains are we have three cars that are literally
welded together. The back car has brakes, no motor, The
middle car is a dummy car. In the front car
has no brakes and just the accelerator and they whip
around and they just cause havoc and they do a
figure eight, and it is literally a crowd favorite. It's
just something to be awesome. Yeah, it's it is.
Speaker 4 (01:34:58):
Now how much people get hurt doing this on a
regular basis?
Speaker 7 (01:35:01):
How many people get hurt? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:35:03):
I mean, is it like once to night somebody gets hurt,
or every three weeks.
Speaker 7 (01:35:07):
It's probably once a month where you see an ambulance
come out to the track where they have somebody that's
you know, tended to in the pit area. Very rarely
do you see someone getting taken to the hospital. I'm
probably up there in the most frequent for the hospital scene.
But it's it's wicked safe the track and the crews
out there that are there for our safety do an
outstanding job. Like I said, I'd rather be out there
(01:35:29):
running at the speeds or running with race car drivers
than I twenty five.
Speaker 5 (01:35:33):
Well, I can't blame you for that, So white Chocolate
little drummer boy, Paul Hammler, whatever, your name is. Now
that you have embarrassed your daughter, it's time for me
to probably embarrass you.
Speaker 4 (01:35:46):
Because now it's time for the most exciting segment.
Speaker 6 (01:35:49):
On the radio on its guide in the world of
the day. Nice.
Speaker 4 (01:35:56):
That was well done, Paul, extremely well done. Well done.
That was great.
Speaker 7 (01:36:02):
I practiced that did?
Speaker 6 (01:36:03):
You really should have.
Speaker 4 (01:36:04):
Because you did an excellent chop. Okay, what is our
dad joke of the day?
Speaker 6 (01:36:07):
What do we want raising noises? When do we want them?
I love that one.
Speaker 4 (01:36:15):
That's a great one.
Speaker 6 (01:36:17):
I do, thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (01:36:19):
It reminds me of that time I did a show
from the Mickeyard.
Speaker 5 (01:36:21):
Five hundred Disney's Small track. They put us on the
infield while they were practicing. Oh so the whole show
was us talking very quickly like this, then e and
then we were talking really guys like the who all day.
It was the funniest thing I've ever experienced in my life.
Speaker 4 (01:36:36):

the day. Please is a verb.
Speaker 6 (01:36:39):

children of minnows?
Speaker 6 (01:36:53):

Yeah, both wrong.
Speaker 6 (01:36:55):
Winnowing is about removing what is not wanted to remove off.
Speaker 4 (01:37:00):
That's exactly what I said.
Speaker 6 (01:37:01):
You down yesting like somebody.
Speaker 4 (01:37:05):
No, no, no, you whittle down the numbers, you get
rid of stuff.
Speaker 5 (01:37:08):
I'm with you.
Speaker 7 (01:37:09):
I knew that.
Speaker 4 (01:37:09):
I knew that one. That was an easy one.
Speaker 5 (01:37:12):

The skin is the body's the worst organ and plays
several critical roles.
Speaker 4 (01:37:49):
And that's what that is about. Wow, skin hair and nails.
Speaker 7 (01:37:52):
We need to dumb this down for me, No, we don't, Paul.
Speaker 5 (01:37:55):
Now, Paul, you know how this works because you listened, Paul.

The Mandy Connall Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and injury Lawyers.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
No, it's Mandy Connall, KAM ninety one FM, so.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
God waits three Bandy Connall, Keith sad Things, Welcome, Ron,
Welcome to.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
A Friday show.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
I'm your host for the next three hours, Mandy Connall's and.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Together all together. Now, yeah, there you go. All of that.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
So after you asked me that A Rod check your email,
because now I'm like, did I No, that's okay, I can,
I can rectify that.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
I can take care of it. Ah, I have a
teenager at home today. It's fine, take care of it.
Do that on the break anyway. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
So all I want you to do today is head
over to Mandy's blog, which is what a rod the
companion to the show.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
The blog mirrors the show. The show mirrors the blog.
They are in hand. They cannot do without the other.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
They are like two different halves of a book. There's
just woop follows. Please yes, AOA is that pod?
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Go to mandy'sblog dot com.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Look for the headline that says nine to twenty twenty
four blog It's time for a rendezvous and life is
an race car driver. Click on that and here are
the headlines you will find within Office.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
Half of American.
Speaker 7 (01:51):
All the ships and clippers say, that's a press.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Plat today on the blog, it's an ask me anything
kind of day. The rendezvous is this weekend at the fort.
What is it like racing cars? The Jeff Copta has
been hijacked by leftist Democrats? State government is not out
of money? Is the Blue book too blue this year?
Are we really exhausted from politics? Mayor Mike Kaufman welcomes
(02:15):
the Trump visit. Trump is all in for Jeff Crank
Kamala sat down.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
With Oprah has Mala at Israel. Continue mixing it up.
More proof.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Dave Williams sucked as chairman. Matt Gates was at a
sex party with seventeen year old vote for the coolest
thing made in Colorado. When good gender reassignment studies are
spiked by politics, Lyon's head coach forced to move. Can
you write a six word mystery? Nancy Pelosi lies her
ass off. That's one smooth landing. No celebrities you don't
(02:47):
need to endorse. We've got a bonus moon for a
bit about self service. Kiosks killing jobs. Milk and meat
may prevent tumors. Women are tired of toting their big
boobs around. If this is in California, it's six point
seven to six million. The woad has left the ESPN
building DGIF everybody. Those are the headlines on the blog
(03:09):
at Mandy's blog dot com. Okay, that's kind of cool.
By the way, guys, here's the thing. If you ever
get a message after you text us on the Common
Spirit Health text line at five six six nine, oh,
that says we've unsubscribed you or something along those lines,
just ignore it. It is a It is a feature
(03:30):
of the automated system that we use that we do
not utilize because we don't send you anything when you
text us, don't. We don't send you stuff. I mean
if the host responds to you. But iHeartMedia doesn't send
you things. So you don't have to unsubscribe because you're
never going to get something randomly from us here.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
That's not how the whole thing works. So ignore that.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
And for the firston who just said this, Hi, Mandy,
just thought you might like to know. I'm currently sitting
in a kayak fishing Quincy Reserve listening.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
To your show.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
That is all.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
I have a high level of envy. It's rising in
me like a wave.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Today on the show, I got a couple things coming up.
My friend Holly Kenny, the owner of the Fort restaurant,
who is you know, you guys know I love the Fort.
But one of the reasons I love the Fort is
that Holly is just a wonderful human being. Is just
a really fantastic person, and she and the Tosorro Cultural
(04:32):
Center do so much to sort of spread the love
about Native American culture and rituals and rights and things
of that nature. That they have a big event coming
up this weekend that if you've never been to one
of the Tosro events at the Fort, you really should go.
They do an incredible job with education, with helping you
(04:53):
learn about Native American culture and different fraud. It's just outstanding.
So we're going to talk to Holly at twelve twelve
thirty about that. And you know Anthony, my right hand
man here, you can.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Call him a rod.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
He also has one of his forty seven side gigs
that he has is Saturday night he calls.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
The races at the racetrack. What's the name of the.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Racetrack Colorado National Speedway.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Colorado National Speedway, A Rod calls the races there, and
one of the race car drivers is a fan of
the show, and so we're going to talk to him
about what it's like to drive a racecar.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Have you ever been in a race car? Have they
let you do that yet?
Speaker 6 (05:29):
I absolutely could have a line too, but I don't
think I actually have.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
I at the Daytona five hundred, which is a huge
speedway and on the corners it's like a forty five
degree angle on the on the sides. We were broadcasting
our show from there for the Daytona five hundred or
the Pepsi four hundred or one of them, whatever, and
they said, do you want to ride in the pace
car with one of the drivers? And I'm thinking pace car, Like,
how fast can it go?
Speaker 4 (05:53):
How scary could this be?
Speaker 5 (05:55):
That's completely underestimated, how scary.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
That can be?
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Lam sets the pace it is?
Speaker 5 (06:03):
It was, Well, there's like a ceremonial pace car that's
like whatever whatever whatever Auto group sponsors the race, you
know what I mean, They have those, and it was
one of those. But the guy's like, I'm in the
passenger seat and the guy is like a quarter of
an inch from shearing the mirror off on the walls,
(06:24):
and I it was. I sat completely clenched, like every
muscle in my body the entire time because it was
just scary. Because not being in control of that situation
is probably far more unnerving than being the driver, you
know what I mean, like because you have no eh.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Anyway, Mandy, I use waterproof earbuds and listen to you
while swimming in my workout.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
That's cool.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Okay, wait a minute, Now we have a contest going. Okay,
one one entry from the kayak in Quincy Reservoir. That
was just one off. Now we have a competition.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Who is listening to the Mandy Connell Show the best
possible way?
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Like what?
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Who has the most creative or interesting way that they
are listening to the Mandy Condall Show.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
I just like to know what are you doing?
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Can I just say right now? The gold medal of
all time will be if someone says, yeah, I used
to be an astronaut. I took Koa up in space
when time is fine, space station meets Koa.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
How about that would be pretty awesome.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Now here's the here's the cool thing I do know
that our radio signal.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
I oh no, this was when I was at w
h AS.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
When I was at w HS in Louisville, our signal
reached to Afghanistan. So I would get from Louisville, Kentucky. Now,
because it was nighttime in Louisville, it was daytime in Afghanistan.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Okay, but still the signal will bounce Afghanistan.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
This signal will bounce. That's the that's the amazing thing
about AM. We don't think about it here because it
only bounces in one direction. Least we are going, we
go forever. Yeah, you know, it's pretty amazing. So I
AM Radio. I totally geeked out because Jimmy Singeberger, who
(08:08):
I asked to stay so we could talk about his column,
but I'm going to talk about this instead. So if
you just miss the last half hour of Ross's show
that Jimmy Singenberger has been filling in on, you missed
some amazing music. You had two young country singers in here.
I do not believe that young man was eighteen.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
I do not his voice and.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Said, oh my god and everything, but he looks like he.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Is in middle school.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
But it's just amazing. But as I'm listening to it.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
I'm driving in and I'm thinking to myself because you know,
we're about to turn a hundred here on Koa. We
don't look a day over seventy five. No, okay, we're
about to turn one hundred and to hear country music
coming out of Koa. Because the foundation of radio in
America was country music.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
It really truly was. You had all of these.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Different families that were on different stations, and that's how
Johnny Cash his family and Jim Carter's family got started.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
So it's like to hear that kind of music on
this station. It felt like a very.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Full circle moment on a moment. Seriously, I just had
a moment there.
Speaker 8 (09:10):
You know, it was cool, it is there's something special.
I hadn't thought about that, but you make up such
a profound point. And to know that it is a
couple of gen Z musicians who were in studio on
Koa still in their teens, who were singing and performing,
that was something else. And I have to tell you
they are the consummate musicians and just playing a little
(09:31):
harmonica with them is so easy because they already are
just fantastic.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Well, let me do this really quick, and then we're
going to get to your rate column on the PTA
and the politicization of that.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
But I got to tell you where people are listening
to the show. So these are awesome.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
These are so good.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
The KOA commins spirdeal text line.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
This is the where where are people?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
How people are listening to the show, Mandy, I'm listening
to you while walking shelter docs from Steve School pickup line.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Yes, I never have.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
To do that again. I know you want to say
this for last, but we'll steal it from you and
say it now. This is my favorite response. I work
at a competing radio station and listen to Kawa all day.
We have one guitorious.
Speaker 9 (10:12):
We are.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Let me see here.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
We find it right now, let me go, let's see.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
I'm hang on one second. I'm sorry it scrolled in.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Actually, Daytona is thirty one degrees backing felt like forty
five when I was scared to death gripping every muscle
in my body.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
This one.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
I'm at work and getting paid to listen. Lol.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
If someone pays you to listen to this show, that
legitimately is the best job in the entire world.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Gosh, getting paid.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
To listen here's a bet you can do a remote too.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Or this person who says they're listening while grading diamonds, See,
now that's just cool. That's cool.
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Why Yogi gets free internet on Southwest so she tunes
in that way from the sky.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Mandy. I'm in my barn, cleaning out the goat stall,
listening to you.
Speaker 5 (11:08):
Well, you're shoveling something, and I'm shoveling something.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
Now are they aren't we? Indeed?
Speaker 6 (11:14):
Listen? Cohastpit in your what goose pit?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
What's a goose pit? Is that where goose live?
Speaker 6 (11:21):
Probably? Maybe I've never heard of lay eggs?
Speaker 4 (11:26):
What is that is that?
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Where?
Speaker 9 (11:28):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Maybe it is where geese lay eggs?
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Delivering mail Mandy, not unique or interesting, but listening to
you while prepping apples for canning well, Mountain Grandma, If
you want to send me some apple sauce, I will
gladly take it.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Mandy, what are you going to do? A listener meet.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
At the fort? We are working on that now. I'm
in Minnesota listening to you on Alexa, washing floors and
getting ready for visitors from Colorado who obviously have very
dirty feet.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
Mandy.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Years ago, I lived in San Diego. I used to
get KOA at night fairly clear. There were times driving
through the desert at night towards Arizona, KOA came in
clear too.
Speaker 8 (12:03):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Listen in the goose Pit last season.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
M Mandy is a ham radio operator. I bounce signals
off the eye on a spear all over the world.
Somebody else said, the signal doesn't bounce. It does bounce.
They move in a wave, so it does bounce. I mean, you, guys,
I do pretend not to know anything about technology, but
radio is pretty basic, and I think I had to
(12:26):
learn that when I was in broadcasting school something something,
SCC license something. Did you ever have to get an
FCC license, Jimmy, No, So you came a little later
to the game. It kind of stopped right when I
got into the industry.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
We have clarification goose hunting, Oh, goose hunting. Okay, that
makes a little more sense. That makes I bet we
attract geese. I bet they're like, what is that honking?
Speaker 8 (12:48):
Well, if geese ever end up showing up outside the studio,
you know the station building, you know that they're protesting.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
We called them again running eighty thousand pounds of turkey
and truck from Flagstaff to Phoenix down I seventeen, Well,
hail to you. We need to bring back what you
what's your.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Hauland what's I promise I'm getting you Jimmy, Jimmy's just
sitting here.
Speaker 8 (13:11):
It's always wonderful to hear the way listeners are tuning in.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
I'm still waiting for the one on the Moon or
the Spame station. Anytime a living got to bring back.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
We got to bring back.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
It's a living.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
And what's your hauland what's your Hauland have we even
done what's your hall in since you've been here? Okay,
so what's your haul? Ind I need I need a
truck driver. And if it's got to be a real
truck driver, he's got to haunk his horns something to
indicate it's a real truck driver. And then we play
games where people guess. They get to ask one question
and they have to guess what's in the.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Back of his truck or her truck?
Speaker 5 (13:41):
What's your Hauland it's dumb, but oddly entertaining and somewhat riveting.
I stole it from Jim Phillips, who used to be
have a show in Orlando, Florida on Real Radio One.
A four point one because there are no new ideas
in radio. Yes, Aaron, nothing you want to say anything?
Nope anything, Nope at all? No about nothing? Do you
want to share with the rest of the class. You
(14:02):
got a little bit of the giggles right now. You
cracked yourself up.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yes, indeed.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
Okay, let's talk about your very serious column today, Jimmy,
because I have a feeling this show is just going
to go right off the rail, so let's just it already.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Yeah kind of. I mean, it's that kind of Friday.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
So your column in the Denver Gazette today is here's
the thing, Like I wish I was remotely surprised by
what you wrote in this column, but you have provided
a window into a world that I think most people
don't think about when we sit here and wonder how
of our universities turned into.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
A hot bed of leftism.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Well, it's because it's starting in middle school, it's starting
in elementary school. It's starting, as you outline in this
column about how the Jeffcopta specifically has been completely ideologically
captured by the hard left and teachers unions. That's where
it starts, right, It starts because conservatives have seeded that
(15:02):
ground ptas, PTOs school advisory committees, district advisory committees. We
cannot seed any of that ground. So go and let
people know what's in the call.
Speaker 8 (15:12):
The headline is a little bit specific when it should be.
The issue is broader to the Colorado PTA really in
that it is the Colorado PTA that has a lot
of jeff Co based leaders. Evi Hudak, former state senator.
Remember this is the state senator who in twenty thirteen
resigned instead of a recall, back when we actually had
(15:33):
some pushback against gun control measures that could make a
meaningful difference.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
And yet she has.
Speaker 8 (15:39):
Always been anti school choice, lockstock and barrel, with the
Teachers' Union, so close knit with all these sort of
the education establishment. And she happens to be vice president
of Advocacy for the Colorado Parent Teacher Assie.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
I wonder what she advocates for for against Think Think
I can't imagine.
Speaker 8 (16:02):
She certainly does not advocate for school choice. I can
tell you that much. And so you've got her. You've
got a couple other players that Don Fritz is the
chair of the Legislator Director of Legislative Engagement, and then
the chair of their legislative committee, as somebody by the
name of Sarah Roebers and those three very levs wing
(16:22):
as Ev Hudak indicates, and they really dominate for my investigation,
and I talked with sources and again that they really
dominate the public policy positions of the parent teacher associations
in this state because it comes down they take positions.
They testified and took positions on like ninety eight bills
(16:42):
this legislative session and got a majority of the ones
that they advocated for through and all but one of
the nine that they opposed were killed in the legislature.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
How are they Are they polling their members all these issues?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Are they having leading on these issues? Is there a
formal political action committee?
Speaker 8 (17:01):
There is, I don't know about a political action committee,
but there is this formal committee that ostensibly is what
decides on which ballot measures or which legislation to take
positions on. But for my investigation, it really seems like
it is just being driven by these three who pull
the strings here. And there's very little that, like their
(17:23):
minutes don't document what the votes were, specifically, how many
people voted for them, who voted for or against the
particular positions it's so vague, and there's so much that
is that is dominated from the influence of these three
women that really the PTA's public policy positions are coming
have been hijacked by the left.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
So the PTA traditionally has been an organization to support teachers,
to support students generally, to support the schools where they are,
where they are found. And how does the PTA different
from a PTO.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
Yeah, so the is affiliated with a national PTA. It's
actually parent teacher association is actually a formal national.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
Organization or entity.
Speaker 8 (18:08):
Whereas PTOs parent teacher organizations tend to be more localized.
They don't believe there's a national organization that sort of thing.
So and schools can actually have both. I just learned
this over the course the last couple of weeks. You
can if you have a PTA and you're not able
to make changes or something, you can switch up and
establish a PTO as well, or you can say, hey,
(18:30):
I'd rather try and turn your PTA into PTL.
Speaker 6 (18:33):
But there are two.
Speaker 8 (18:34):
Different kinds of structures, and one is affiliated with the
state and national organizations, and the national often will set
the tone for certain public policy positions, and then it
seems like on occasion the legislative folks who run the
show at the Colorado PTA will say, well, this sort
of falls in line with national So we're just gonna
take a position on a bill because we think it
(18:57):
we interpret it as fitting with national.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Well here's my question, and we're almost out of time,
and I got another guest coming up a twelve thirty,
so as quickly as possible, why would we need a
national PTA? If the PTA is designed to directly support
the schools in their communities, why do you need a
national organization?
Speaker 8 (19:18):
I have no clue except that maybe it's sort of
like a maybe it born. It was born out of
we want to share ideas, we want to have best practices,
and then somehow legislation started coming out of it, and boom,
you have a life of its own and it becomes
uber politicized.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Read the story. It's very good.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
Jimmy did a great job this week filling in for
Ross and thanks for sticking around.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Good to see you when we get back.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
I've got Holly Kinney from the fourth They have a
fantastic event of rendezvous happening this weekend.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
You need to know about.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
You know, I was talking about the fact that Koa
has been around for one hundred years. We're coming up
on our hundredth birthday, and they have been woven into
the part of Denver for that long. And another thing
that has been woven in to the part of Denver
is the Fort Restaurant, even though.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Technically they're outside Morrison, but it's fine. We don't talk
about that.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
And the owner Turner mic on Aron, and the owner
Holly Kinney is with me today to talk about one
of their outstanding events that they put on with the
Tesorro Cultural Center, which is kind of is do you
call it kind of an arm of the Fort or
is the Fort an arm?
Speaker 10 (20:23):
Well? Toro Tosorrow was created to celebrate all the cultures
that traded at ben so Old Fort and it's a
five oh one C three. It's a nonprofit and I
created it in nineteen ninety nine to really provide more
education and more events that like our rendezvous coming up
(20:44):
this weekend. But I have to give you a little
trivia about me, oh please. I started in radio on KO.
I used to sell time on KOA radio out in
nineteen seventy five and seventy six and seventy seven. Alway
was the quarterback for the Broncos and we went the
Orange Crush.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Oh that's fantastic. I had no idea. I didn't know
that about you.
Speaker 10 (21:09):
So Kowa has a special place in my heart.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Oh that's wonderful. That's a great story. I love that, Holly.
So let's talk a little bit about the rendezvous and
to the point you were just making this did you start?
And I know we've talked about this before, but people
don't always hear every interview. The Tsorial Cultural Center came
out of sort of the intent that your father had
when he built the fort in the first place, right
(21:33):
the original.
Speaker 10 (21:34):
In nineteen sixty two, we created a replica of Ben's
old fort, which was a famous fur trading fort from
eighteen thirty three to eighteen forty nine, and we started
doing school tours because every teacher wanted to take their
kids on a school tour to see the fort. And
we actually had a little museum in the building. We
(21:56):
had to turn it into a restaurant to pay off
the mortgage, but it turned out that the history was
as important as the food. But then the food kind
of took over. It became very famous because we are
fine dining and so when I joined my father in
partnership in nineteen ninety nine. I said, well, let's get
(22:17):
back to the school tours and educating the public, which
was what the building originally was designed for. And we
created Tosorrow Cultural Center and my dad called it Desorro
because there are many amazing artists, like the Spanish colonial artists,
the mountain men who hand make flintlock guns and who
do it as works of art, and that is their
(22:41):
treasures and their treasures to our society and to us.
And let's use the fort's platform and market them and
call it the Tesorro. The treasures mean it means treasures
in Spanish.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
Well, I can vouch for the food we ate their
Saturday night with friends who had never eaten there. And
the patio, oh Ollie, the patio is glorious.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
It is gorgeous out there. You just have this incredible
view of Denver in the distance.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
It is stunning. In the fatal is second to nine.
So let's talk about what's happening this weekend. One of
the things that is so cool about what.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
You're doing is for people who either don't know themselves
a lot about Native American culture, or maybe you want
your kids to have a better understanding of Native American culture.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
The rendezvous is even I think better than the Powwow
for kind of getting a feel for more about the culture,
not just dancing and things of that nature.
Speaker 10 (23:39):
Well, it's a mix of cultures. You have the traders
and trappers who were trading at Bensfort, and reenactors and interpreters,
and then you also have the Spanish colonial artists because
Bensfort was on the border of Old Mexico, which at
that time was the Arkansas River. So you had a
(24:00):
Spanish colonial artists who hand carve the saints and they're
demonstrating their carving and their just as they did hundreds
of years ago at the same time of Ben's sport.
And then we have a scavenger hunt for kids, so
they have they're given a sheet of paper admission, and
then they go round to each artist and mountain man
(24:22):
encampment and ask the question that's on the piece of
paper and if and they're given a string of sinew
or like a string, and then they get the answer
from the artist or the blacksmith or whatever, and they
are given.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
A trade bead.
Speaker 10 (24:40):
But each encampment they collect a trade bead after hearing
the answer and understanding the answer. So they stay there
for hours with their parents following behind them, and they
collect their trade beads by asking the questions, and they
learn all about how do they make the die from
(25:01):
rocks and through kachiel, which is like an insect that's
bright red, and how did they weave the wool and
what type of wol did they weave and it's Churro
wool and the Truro sheep were brought from Spain. So
it's a whole day of interactive learning.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
It's like a living museum.
Speaker 10 (25:20):
Yeah, it's really fun though, it's like an adventure. Yeah,
and then we have also you get a trade beat
if you go sit and listen to the Ricara Amandan
hadatsa tribe doing a dance and talking about the Indian
tribes at vent Sport. But then you go to the
blacksmiths and learn there and so it's really a great
(25:42):
family of event and it's an adventure and fun and
it's interactive.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Holly Kenney is my guest, and this is all happening
this weekend. There are you can buy your tickets. I've
got the link online with all the information how much
your tickets.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
It's a very mind solary.
Speaker 10 (25:59):
And then five dollars for kids six and older and
six and or five and under are free.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Okay. And to be clear, Holly doesn't do this to
make money at all.
Speaker 10 (26:11):
I donate my time for twenty five years.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Yeah, she doesn't. This is not a money maker.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
So that ten dollars just gets plowed back into two
to to sorrow, thank you too, to sorrow, and so
it just perpetuates in the future.
Speaker 10 (26:26):
Right and helps cover the costs we have, you know,
part of potties and other expenses related to it, just
out of pocket expenses.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
And can people get some fort food while they're there?
Speaker 10 (26:36):
Yes, the fort has concessions and we're doing Buffalo burgers
and Buffalo brats and a Freedo pie.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
When you say concessions like people think, you know, it's
the concessions at a fort event are like next level concessions. Okay,
They're not just your like hot dog hamburger. They're like
they're buffalo burgers and things of that nature. So it's happening.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
What's a timeframe on Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 10 (26:59):
Ten to four most days Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
I think you're gonna have some crummy rain on Saturday,
but hopefully it'll clear up on Saturday.
Speaker 10 (27:08):
The dancing is under our patio, so it's undercovered. You know,
wear a jacket, but mountain men were never dissuaded by rain.
No and the Spanish artists are inside. There's and there'll
lectures going on. There's a great lecture about Henry Darringer
trade rifle discovered it and ben Sport by Bill Gwaltney
(27:28):
and that's in the Bens quarters. So we have, you know,
lectures and things going on inside. So there's a lot
going on inside as well as outside encampments.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
And as I said, I put a.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Link to the website on the blog today if you
want more information.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Holly Kenny, thank you so much.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
Thank you for everything that you do for you You
just bring so much opportunity to this area for people
to really learn about Native Americans and the history of
this part of the country.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
It's just a really well done job. Thank you so
much for inviting me here that that you are. We'll
be back.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
Remember earlier in the show when I asked where people
were listening from, Yes, some of these are awesome listening
while processing data from Mars.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
That's kind of cool, that's kind of space.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Yeah, listening while cleaning guns. I mean, I'm doing the
show while cleaning guns. So why wouldn't you just saying, Mandy,
I just got home from the gym. Now I'm enjoying
an adult beverage and eating some homemade tacos.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Trail Runner twenty four.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
Also the pipe speak a scent is tomorrow and the
marathon is Sunday. Well, bless you if you're running in
those things. I don't run in such things. I don't
really run. And now that I got a little.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
All you run is run away from the speedwalking competition
against Nick Firs.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
Well, now I have a legitimate medical reason, right, so
I have to have physical therapy and see if that
does anything.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Excuse me, I know, I know Nick understands, That's all
I can.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
Yeah, you understands.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
He's had the same injury twice, so he knows.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
So if he gets it again, then you too are
even again.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Yeah, but I don't wish that on him.
Speaker 6 (29:03):
I'm not saying we wish it. I'm just saying he
has to let us know he gets that injury, and
then you too are even again.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
Can I just I'm gonna share something in the air,
and I just want to say this. So I went
to regenerate reagent Revolution to see if they could fix
this meniscus tear and cartilage terar inn aer my kneecap,
and because of the way it's injured, they are not
able to use regenerative medicine to do that.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
So I go back to my.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Orthopedists, who I love. I absolutely love the guy. He's
Chuck's orthopedist. He's really really good. If you do need
an orthopedist, email me and I will send you his name.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
But we're in this meeting.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
He's got a guy who's doing a fellowship with him
because he's a big muckety muck orthopedic guy.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
And so he's got this kid doing a fellowship.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
The kid's maybe thirty, I'm guessing late twenties, thirty Max,
and he's taken notes on the computer.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
You know, they have the taking notes person now on
the computer. And the doctor says, well, here's what's wrong.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
You got this tear here, you got this going on here,
you got this cartilage issue here, and he points over
to the fellow and goes, well, you know, if you
were his age we'd go ahead and go in in
scope and clean it up.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
But I mean, you're fifty five, And at the time
it kind of went.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
Past me because I was thinking about I had a
series of questions I wanted to get answered. But then
I'm driving home and I'm like, wait a minute, so
old people are just moosted.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
We're just gonna send you home to die. You're fifty five,
don't buy any green and bananas, and we're not gonna
fix your knees because how often are you actually gonna
be using those things? You ancient being.
Speaker 5 (30:28):
That's kind of how I took it on the way home.
I mean, am I wrong? How do you take that?
And I genuinely I'm asking this back to some of
these text messages about where.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
People are listening.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
Mandy listening during my planning period at high school, surrounded
by liberals. Bless you, teacher, bless you. I listened after work,
says this person Mandy. Way back when I was hiking
Cheyenne Canyon during the middle of the work day and
I had off and on been listening to Kawa on
terrestrial radio headset. When they announced who was taking over
the noon hour show from the radio giant Mike Rosen.
(31:04):
Thankfully I was the only soul around at the time
because I was pumping my fist in celebration.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
They made the right choice. Well that's super nice. Thank you,
Mandy listening.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
To Koa chained to my debt. Oh wait a minute,
Oh that's fantastic. Oh so this texter wrapped in another thing?
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Do we have our winners for the contest? Did we
get those?
Speaker 6 (31:26):
Yes? We did. I'm just waiting to text and thank
your momentary. Would like to tell you who they are? Yes? Please, Sheila, Judy, Kathy,
and Jonathan.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
I absolutely love that three women just won on our program.
Speaker 6 (31:35):
Right now, Remind me again, where are their tickets gonna be.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
They're at will call and when you go to admission,
they'll be at admission on a list. We're gonna send
them over to Holly in just a few minutes.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
So on the blog text.
Speaker 6 (31:47):
So if you won one of those four, I'll text
you in a second.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Okay, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
When we get back, I'm gonna read this text because
I think this is interesting where people are listening the
weirdest place and this person brought in a story on
the blog, so they're on honestly, right now, the listener
of the day and the rest of you, well, you're just.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
Not as good as the listener of the day.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
We'll talk about that next.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and Injury Lawyers.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
No, it's Mandy Connell and con On, Kama, got Way.
Speaker 9 (32:27):
Ny three and Connelly sad thing.
Speaker 5 (32:35):
Welcome, Locle, Welcome to the second hour of the show.
Congratulations to our big winners from.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
The Forked four packs there. But a couple of things.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
By the way, I talked about this story really briefly,
but an update just broke so you might be hearing
it here. First, the RTD Police Chief, Joel Fitzgerald is
now no longer the RTD Police Chief. RTD put out
an announcement today that he had.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
He was no longer with the department.
Speaker 6 (33:04):
Wait a minute, let me read this.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
Joel Fitzgerald is no longer the chief of the Regional
Transportation District. Fox thirty one learned Friday afternoon. He's been
on leave since the start of July. No one knows why.
A statement from RTD said he is no longer an
employee of the organization as of September twentieth. This statement
included a thank you message for Fitzgerald's two years.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
With the agency.
Speaker 5 (33:31):
RTD says it will announced plans for interim leadership of
the police department soon. They still haven't told us why
he was on leave since July first, So yeah, there's
that interesting. Interesting.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
I'm sure he has all have another job in like
five minutes, because that seems to be what happens to,
you know, people who aren't great at their jobs in
that summer.
Speaker 5 (33:56):
Okay, I got a bunch of stuff on the blog,
but I got to finish reading these a rod, these beautiful,
wonderful places where people listen to the show. And if
you're listening to the show in a weirder place than
any of these, you can go ahead and text us
at five sixty six nine. Oh so let's see listening
(34:19):
while a little bit high on cold medicine. Hopefully we'll
remember this later. Oh no, you're not going to miss anything.
Speaker 6 (34:25):
It's fine, Unicorn to your left. Watch that h.
Speaker 5 (34:30):
On my lunch break from keeping your mopars on the
road twelve thousand feet up after walking through golden forests
all morning.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
That sounds delightful.
Speaker 7 (34:38):
Where's Golden Forest.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
Golden forest meaning golden aspen golds.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
Oh now, golden it was an actual place, I think,
so they didn't gaglize golden holland trash while listening to
you as usual every day. That's Shannon the trash lady.
I met her when I was at Regen Revolution doing
a an appearance.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
You would not expect this Shannon to be a trash.
Speaker 6 (35:02):
Woman like you. We are taking out the trash on
the daily, twelve to three.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
Shannon. She's no Oscar the Grouch, that's for sure.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
Hey, Mandy, When I was a kid in the sixties,
my dad would listen to WLS from Chicago on the
East Coast at night.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
Kind of got me into radio and long distance listening.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
Now my wife thinks I'm weird because I'm fascinated by antenna's.
Is that what you call them, sir, antenna's? Look at
the antenna's on her.
Speaker 4 (35:26):
I'm just kidding, just having some fun with.
Speaker 6 (35:28):
You, Mandy.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
I'm at the I'm at lunch at the law enforcement
outdoor shooting range listening to you. I can't get the
FM signal, but you're loud and clear on AM. Best
part of having two signals now.
Speaker 4 (35:40):

Speaker 5 (35:42):
This person said, I have listened to Koa while in surgery.
Were you the one being operated on or were you
the one doing the operating Uh huh, Well, you know
they always listen to music and stuff in the operating suite.

Speaker 6 (36:51):
I could rally up a militia.

are wearing the same color clothing as the background.
Speaker 6 (37:56):
It's either that, which is a great option, or option B.
A screen grab from your in person interview with Jared
Pouls of the face of the face that he was not.
I mean, here's a great sport and it's a great chat,
and I mean that sincerely, I really do. I think
it was a really good conversation. It's just the faces

Were you in charge of the music? And what did
they think?
Speaker 7 (38:31):
Mandy?
Speaker 4 (38:34):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (38:36):
Why does KAA ignore Colorado State during the sports update?
By the way, CSU plays UTEP in Fort Collins.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
I do not know the answer to that question.
Speaker 6 (38:44):
Yes, I know that is incorrect because BK and his
Morning updates, does often mention CSU. Yeah, not in the.
Speaker 11 (38:50):
Again, we are you, guys, We are the station of
the cubus correct on top of the bottom hour news
only has so much time and then even less time

I'm showing it. They're showing a kind of dog. I
don't know. Okay, I just read this wrong. Listening.
Speaker 5 (39:27):
This is the right way, by the way, listening while
performing vibration testing. I did not read that as vibration initially,
and I was like, you know what, that might be
the second best job ever. Do I want to know
what potatoes listen every day? Let me listening to you

room while managing fluorescent.
Speaker 4 (40:27):
Mouse placenta sections.
Speaker 5 (40:28):
I mean, as one does, of course, what else would

That is something that Chuck wants to do.
Speaker 4 (40:43):

Listening while working in the free state of Wyoming. This
person and sitting on the coast of Oregon traveling from
Monument have a place in turks and cacos and listen
while we are there to keep up on the weather,
and that helps to justify extending our trips.
Speaker 6 (41:10):
I want to hang out with you people.
Speaker 5 (41:12):
I've picked up KOA up on am in the South Pacific,
our signals huge in Eastern Colorado listening to you on
a combine picking up millet. Not an owl out of wood?
Speaker 6 (41:25):
Wait?

What is warhammer?
Speaker 6 (41:43):
What is that?
Speaker 5 (41:45):
Eastern Colorado planting hard red winter wheat at five point
five miles per hour? Do we plant any soft winter
wheat anywhere in Colorado? Or soft wheat at all? Is
that a thing that gets planted here? Just curious?
Speaker 4 (41:58):
Listening to you from Western oh Ohio while delivering groceries.
Speaker 6 (42:01):
Love your show.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
Never stopped listening after I moved.
Speaker 5 (42:05):
Is Mandy ever mesmerized by the fact of how far
the KOA am signal travels? No, I am not, because
I understand the dynamics behind it. It bounces off of
the ion a sphere, folks, It truly does, climbing on
ladders and picking plums. That's something you should be very
careful about. Mandy on a tractor planting wheat with my
(42:26):
two year old granddaughter.
Speaker 4 (42:27):
Very very good.
Speaker 5 (42:30):
I once caught koa on Mount Belford here in Colorado

to twelve pm. People are listening while door dashing. This
person listening while in a van down by the river. Yeah,
while cutting fired with with my chainsaw, using headphones and all.
Speaker 6 (43:03):
That's cool. What are you doing? I'm cutting. I wouldn't

Mandy listening while stretching out my hammies.
Speaker 4 (43:27):

Cedar Park.
Speaker 4 (43:40):
Flight attendant Drew like with headphones or is the uber driver.
Speaker 6 (43:43):
Listening to I'm sure they're listening with headphones.
Speaker 5 (43:47):
Listening from a small town, Nebraska, and I'm shocked how
many women mow their lawn here.
Speaker 4 (43:52):
I mow our lawn.
Speaker 5 (43:54):
Although my daughter is about to start mowing the lawn
and doing the snow.
Speaker 6 (43:59):
I just started to really love s mowing the lawn
because I just got a big, old, brand new gas baby.
Speaker 4 (44:05):
Immediate gratification, so I did not gratification for those out
there that have an electric mower or maybe don't like
their mower and wonder.
Speaker 6 (44:14):
Why doesn't my grass look just as good as the neighbors.
I now realized how much better the grass will look
when you have a quality mower with really nice sharp blades.
I now am so much more proud of our lawn.
It looks so good thanks to the new gas mower
YEP de Walt Baby wlassil fuels.
Speaker 4 (44:32):
Thanks.
Speaker 6 (44:33):
I did never think of having a Dault mower. Man
de Wault is cool.
Speaker 5 (44:37):
You need to learn and you can find it on YouTube.
How to sharpen your blades even though they're brand new
brand you sharpen him at the end, at the beginning
or the end, whichever, the beginning of every season. Okay,
And it makes such a huge difference, huge difference.
Speaker 6 (44:49):
Like the guy across the street from us puts us
all to shame.
Speaker 5 (44:52):
Ye, my neighbors like that, and she has just it's magnificent.
Speaker 6 (44:58):
But our lawn is not too far off. Now. It
was the mower. It was the blades. That was the
only difference, the only thing I changed. Now it looks
damn good.
Speaker 5 (45:07):
Listening while making replacement human body parts in Frederick.
Speaker 6 (45:11):
Ah, whoa near me? Ah? Go away?
Speaker 5 (45:13):
Wait wait, but also near Georgia boy's barbecue. So wait
a minute.
Speaker 4 (45:19):
I have questions. I have follow up questions.
Speaker 5 (45:22):
Are you making replacement human body parts like an artificial knee?
Are you growing an ear on the back of a mouse?
Speaker 4 (45:30):
That's what? What are we? What are we doing here?
Have you not seen that?
Speaker 6 (45:33):
That person's also at taxidermists?
Speaker 5 (45:35):
Have you never seen the growing the mouse the ear
on the back of the mouse?
Speaker 6 (45:38):
I no google it, I don't want to google it.
Speaker 4 (45:40):
Just do it? Do it?
Speaker 6 (45:43):
Do it.
Speaker 4 (45:45):
I just want to get his reaction growing.
Speaker 6 (45:48):
Growing.
Speaker 5 (45:48):
They're growing an ear on the back of a mouse growing.
Mandy listening to you while I pick up dog poop.
I try listening to you every day, probably pick up
a lot of poop.
Speaker 6 (46:00):
Yeah, why did I need to see that?
Speaker 4 (46:02):
Because now you know that they can grow an ear
on the back of the mouth.
Speaker 6 (46:05):
I didn't need to know that.
Speaker 5 (46:06):
It's a thing that you know. If I know it,
you should know it. Do It's actually pretty revolutionary.
Speaker 6 (46:11):
Ew you know, and yes, de Walt makes a gas
mower and it's really really good.
Speaker 5 (46:17):
Mandy listening to you while climbing the steps and jumping
the planters at Red Rocks for exercise. So you're one
of those maniacs I see at Red Rocks, David maniac, Mandy.
I listened to y'all every day in Louisville, Kentucky and
Bourbon and beyond.
Speaker 4 (46:32):
Still going.
Speaker 5 (46:34):
Saw Matchbox twenty last night, Chris Isaacs tonight that from
Betty Loo. Chris Isaac saw I have a great story.
Remember I was talking about I knew I didn't belong
with the flight attendants pretty early on in training.
Speaker 4 (46:44):
When I was a flight attendant, The first day I
got there, I drove because I was only five hours
away from Atlanta.
Speaker 5 (46:50):
Nobody else had a car, and I was driving up there,
I heard this guy on a radio station and he
sang this song and I was like, that's the most
amazing song I've ever heard.
Speaker 4 (47:00):
And it was criticized. So I go on the first day,
I'm like, who wants to go see this band with me?
And they were like, what are you doing?
Speaker 5 (47:07):
And I went out on the first night a flight
attendant training and to go see Chris Isaac in a bar.
Speaker 4 (47:12):
And I regret nothing so good. This person is sculpting
a bonside tree.
Speaker 5 (47:20):
I actually, if you are a member of the Bonside
tree community, keep an eye out for a wanted poster
with my face on it, because I personally am responsible
for the death. I don't even know how many Bondside trees.
And it goes like this, I see a Bonside tree
somewhere and I go, Wow, that's really cool. And then
I stand at the Bonside tree selling person and I
(47:42):
talk to them for about twenty five thirty minutes and
they tell me over and over again how easy this is.
It just requires regular maintenance, no problem, can't it's and
then I end up buying one and then two months
later instead, it's like this bonside tree racket. It's like
I have the bon Side Tree kiss of Death on
my four and they can all see it. Oh, this
(48:05):
guy makes teeth from scratch, so those body parts stinging.
We used to be able to hear KOA bleed over
on the payphone in Parker. You could pick up the
phone and listen to the Broncos game. Oh that's fantastic.
Something happened in my car the other day that has
never happened to me. So I am driving next to someone.
We're going onto an on ramp that uh, and we're
(48:28):
moving in a decent clip of speed, but we're side
by side, and I'm pretty sure that their directions from
there there It was like a slight right onto and
then obviously directions, but I didn't have my my GPS open,
and I think their directions bled over into my radio signal.
Speaker 4 (48:48):
Is that possible?
Speaker 6 (48:49):
Do you think a rod that sounds very weird? I
don't think that's right. Well, weird things can go across
man really.
Speaker 5 (48:56):
Definitely directions, I mean you know what directions sound like.
Speaker 4 (48:59):
You know that sight right onto I twenty five.
Speaker 5 (49:02):
You know that voice, and I just didn't know if technologically,
by the way, this is, we're not confirmed Kyle on this.
This is a question. We don't know if this is accurate. Disclaimer,
but can someone explain.
Speaker 4 (49:19):
Now if my car has Bluetooth capability then yeah, but
I don't know why the Bluetooth would jump from their
car to their car my car. I don't know, Mandy.
Speaker 5 (49:30):
When I drive Uber and Lyft during the day around Denver,
I'm torn about listening to you or Ross because of
the political words and topics that spontaneously come up. I
keep the volume very low if I have writers I
suspect might not take too kindly to anything you or
Ross might say. I tune into a serious exam music station.
As a capitalist, I want you to make the most
money possible, and I turning us off for a little
(49:51):
bit of time to make more money helps than do
what you gotta do?
Speaker 6 (49:54):
What not in the last sentence, can make a my
heart station? Yeah? Please? Yeah, I heart music station. Yeah,
I heart radio music.
Speaker 5 (50:04):
And this person said, I bet the car audio was
turned up way too loud so you heard it to
your window.
Speaker 4 (50:08):
No, because I don't know if you.
Speaker 5 (50:10):
One of the things about driving a luxury brand car
that I never knew until I got a Mercedes. And
I drive a twenty fifteen Mercedes, and I love this car.
I love it, love it, love it. You the the
protection from outside noise is so good inner Mercedes.
Speaker 4 (50:31):
There's like no road noise outside at all.
Speaker 5 (50:33):
You don't hear anything, to the point where sometimes I
will roll down my window.
Speaker 4 (50:38):
And hear my brakes squeak and go wow.
Speaker 5 (50:39):
I wonder how long that's been happening, because you don't
even hear your own brake squeel. So I'm pretty sure
it came through my you know, speakers. I don't think
it was bleedover, Mandy. Yes, I've heard other people's directions
on my radio.
Speaker 4 (50:53):
Yes, thank you.
Speaker 5 (50:54):
Okay, now, Kyle, we've confirmed it now so we can
run with Occasionally, someone else's GPS could possibly be on
your radio Sis confirmed confirmed. Yes, Yes, my earbuds picked
up another person's conversation in the grocery store and it
was steamy and very funny when I joined in, Wow, wow, wow, Mandy.
(51:22):
I'm wondering if the ear grown on a mouse transplant
recipient just heard high squeaking.
Speaker 6 (51:28):
We'll never know.
Speaker 4 (51:30):
It will never know.
Speaker 5 (51:33):
The Coals Shopping Center and Parker in front of the
KOA tower has a special grounding system so the building
doesn't act as a giant receiver and play KOA through
the structure and electronics like phones.
Speaker 4 (51:45):
That's awesome.
Speaker 6 (51:48):
That would be so Could you.
Speaker 5 (51:49):
Imagine just walking into Coal's and you just like your
fillings start to vibrate with KOA.
Speaker 6 (51:55):
That would be so good, so good.
Speaker 5 (51:58):
Okay, when we get back, I'm going to do stuff
that's on the blog. I just found that interesting. You
guys delivered.
Speaker 4 (52:02):
Thank you. It's a Friday. It is a Friday.
Speaker 5 (52:06):
Now, I've got a bunch of stuff, including Mike Kaufman
welcoming a Trump visit, which I think is very smart.
Speaker 4 (52:13):
And I'll explain why Jeff Craik in the third.
Speaker 5 (52:16):
Congressional District picked up a really big endorsement that really
has to be sticking in fake GOP chairman Dave Williams
craw But I want to ask a bigger question, and
that is are we truly.
Speaker 4 (52:29):
Exhausted from politics?
Speaker 6 (52:31):
We'll talk about all that next.
Speaker 5 (52:33):
Right after this, feel free to text us at five
six six nine. Oh and this made me laugh pretty
hard hang on one's second. According to a twenty twenty survey,
forty four percent of people poop and text. So how
many people texting you are now pooping? Thank you for that,
(52:58):
because now I just have that image in my mom
I want to talk about this first.
Speaker 4 (53:05):
Donald Trump says he's coming to Aurora in the next
few weeks. Now, Donald Trump has.
Speaker 5 (53:13):
Really made immigration an issue, and the way he's going
about it employs like the worst stereotypes about immigration. But
the reality is this, people are far more motivated by
fear than they are by enthusiasm. And just as Kamala Harrison,
(53:36):
the Democrats are painting Donald Trump not just as the
wrong candidate, but as a existential threat to democracy who
will destroy our nation if he is re elected. They
do so to get up fear, because fear is more
powerful as a motivator than than enthusiasm. As Donald Trump
(53:57):
is leaning in on all things immigration, and I am
extremely concerned and upset about what's happening at the southern border.
I'm extremely concerned and upset about the amount of money
that is being spent on people who have come to
this country illegally. I am extremely upset and concerned about
how bad our legal immigration system is, and I am
(54:24):
extremely upset that we have not been able to take
care of this problem already. It's been on the table
for like forty years now, since the first amnesty in
nineteen eighty six, and we still.
Speaker 4 (54:36):
Haven't solved the problem because we still haven't secured the
southern border.
Speaker 5 (54:40):
All of that being said is a long way around
to get to this story, which is Mayor Miike Kauffman said, Hey,
if he wants to come to Aurora, that would be great.
I look forward to showing him the city and breaking
the narrative that this city is out of control when
it comes to Venezuelan gangs. Now, Mayor Kaufman finally acknowledged
(55:04):
that there was gang issues at two apartment complexes. But
what's become of this story is that it has now
been exaggerated into gangs have taken over Aurora. And I've
mentioned the fact that I got text messages from people saying,
oh my gosh, you're not close to Aurora, are you?
Speaker 4 (55:21):
And I text message back.
Speaker 5 (55:22):
Aurora is massive, it's a huge land area, and these
issues are happening in very small parts of Aurora that
I tend not to visit, so it's fine, So we'll
find out. Kaufin said, look, this is the best opportunity
we have to correct the record. He's right, of course,
But left wing council member Chrysal Marillo said he's just
(55:47):
coming out here for political gain.
Speaker 4 (55:48):
Yeah, yeah, that's what politicians do.
Speaker 5 (55:53):
She added that many people are making assumptions about Aurora
based on falsehoods, which is deeply concerning. She also said,
our police department has issued statements countless time saying that
this is not what's happening. But it's not working, is it.
The message isn't getting through. So let Trump come to Aura.
Let him find out what has actually happened, what's actually
(56:16):
going on where we are, and perhaps we can begin
to correct the record on where we are at this
moment in time, which there don't appear to be any
apartment complexes taken over by anyone at this moment. The
apartment complex situation is moving towards resolution. The slumlords are
being brought to bear. Hopefully that situation will be taken
(56:37):
care of and the people that live there will be
able to live in a habitable space this winter with
heat and things of that.
Speaker 6 (56:44):
Nature.
Speaker 4 (56:44):
That would be nice. Mandy. Prediction is Trump won't come
to Aurora.
Speaker 5 (56:48):
I'm inclined to believe you because of everything I just said,
and honestly, what Councilwoman Marilla said about this being politically
for political gain on everything, well mostly everything that happens
in the public eye right now is for the campaign.
Speaker 4 (57:06):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (57:08):
So yeah, Mandy, I sat down with my cat Pickles
last night, who told me he didn't like Trump personally,
but was going to support him in twenty twenty four
for his own safety and security. Loll, Mandy, and I
want to talk about this story next. I'm really tired
of the continual politics. The worst part is the blatant lying.
(57:32):
They led in the seventies and eighties, and now it's
just they lied in the seventies and eighties and now
it's just blatant.
Speaker 4 (57:37):
I'm seventy and I'm over it.
Speaker 5 (57:39):
Time shift and fast forward, correct, correct, So start interviewing
cops on the street.
Speaker 4 (57:50):
There is a big issue.
Speaker 5 (57:51):
If you can connect me with cops on the street
that are dealing with these issues, I would be more
than happy to talk with them off the air. There's
a story today Americans are exhausted with high stakes election.
Speaker 4 (58:06):
Described in apocalyptic terms. This is the most important election
of our lifetime.
Speaker 5 (58:13):
And then there's a story about how we live in
a permanent political cycle, and that is accurate. I have
long advocated, I mean for years, that I don't think
the race for president should be able to get started
in any significant way until one year before the election date,
(58:34):
Like nobody can announce before November fourth. Now, if you
want to work behind behind the scenes and start getting
your money operations in order, start creating an exploratory pack
all of that stuff, do whatever you want to do.
Speaker 6 (58:45):
But I just don't want to talk.
Speaker 5 (58:47):
About it until the November before the election. I think
that's plenty of time. Gives all the states plenty of
time to have their primaries, gives us plenty of time
to have our conventions.
Speaker 4 (58:59):
But I'm just I'm sick of talking about it. And
if it wasn't so consequential, if the federal government races
didn't matter so much because we've given the federal government.
Speaker 5 (59:08):
Way too much power, I probably would you be okay
with it. I don't know, Mandy will Trump talk to
truth teller Jerinsky or liar Kaufman can't believe anything polist
Kaufman or Clark is saying about it because of all
the gas lighting. First, Greg, that is unfortunate, but that
is where we are.
Speaker 6 (59:27):
But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (59:28):
Mayor Kaufman has come out and said, look, there were issues,
so I'm giving him a pass on that and why
bother talking about the other one? So I'm just wondering
from you guys, and you can text me at five
six six nine oh and I'll share some of the
answers on the other side of the break. What would
(59:49):
be the right amount of time and be reasonable?
Speaker 4 (59:53):
We still have to have primaries.
Speaker 5 (59:54):
Across the country, We still have to have time to campaign,
We still have to have time, debates, blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (59:59):
Convention, the whole nine yards. So don't tell me a week.
What reasonable amount of time do.
Speaker 5 (01:00:04):
You think we should we should construct a political campaign season?
What would the time frame be for you? For me,
it's one year from election day, not a day before.
Speaker 4 (01:00:18):
One year. Plenty of time. Five six six nine oh.
Speaker 5 (01:00:21):
Is where you send your text messages five sixty six
nine oh. And we will have those answers and another
story about a big endorsement for Jeff Crank in the
third Congressional district.
Speaker 4 (01:00:35):
And I bet you the Dave Williams has choking on
this one.
Speaker 5 (01:00:39):
And to that I respond, ha fifth Congressional District, my apologies.
Speaker 4 (01:00:45):
You may remember.
Speaker 5 (01:00:47):
A former GOP chairman, Dave Williams, because I have recognized
Eli Bremer as the rightful Colorado chairman.
Speaker 4 (01:00:54):
Former Chairman Dave Williams.
Speaker 5 (01:00:57):
One of the reasons I dislike him so and believe
him to be incredibly unethical is that he remained Colorado
chairman even if as he was running for the fifth
Congressional district nomination. The fifth congressional district, I would you
could knock me over with a feather if it flipped
to a Democrat.
Speaker 6 (01:01:17):
I just would be shocked.
Speaker 5 (01:01:19):
So who everyone's the primary in that is going to
probably win the race, And now Jeff Crank may have
been helped by a Trump endorsement. Jeff Crank is the
guy who ran against Dave Williams, who then used party
funds to attack other Republicans and did things that were
so outside the bylaws in the mainstream.
Speaker 4 (01:01:40):
That he had to go and he lost. He got
his butt kited.
Speaker 5 (01:01:45):
He lost almost two to one to Jeff Crank and
now Crank has secured the Trump endorsement. So I haven't
talked about what's going on with Israel and Hasbla today,
but I have got to share something that just came
across my screen a moment ago. It is from the
BattleSwarm blog, and BattleSwarm is uh. They do a lot
of stuff on military action and things of that nature
(01:02:08):
their battleswarmblog dot com.
Speaker 6 (01:02:12):
Sorry, good, thank cups.
Speaker 4 (01:02:15):
Listen to this so we all know what we think happened.
Speaker 5 (01:02:18):
Like as Belah, because they believe cell phones could be tracked,
which they can, they told other fighters to not use
cell phones anymore.
Speaker 4 (01:02:26):
But no worries.
Speaker 5 (01:02:27):
They were going to order these pagers from a Taiwanese company,
and they ordered these pagers, and everybody thought that at
some point Israel had intercepted the pagers and put a
small amount of explosive.
Speaker 4 (01:02:40):
In each of the pagers and then.
Speaker 5 (01:02:42):
Set them off in a series of explosions across Lebanon
this week. But that's not what happened. It's even bigger
and more devious. This is Hollywood level stuff. Here, let
me find where I'm looking for here. Sure, unbeknownst to
(01:03:04):
Hesbela Israel had been secretly manufacturing the pagers that Hesbela
was buying. Four years the Taiwanese company Gold Apollo had
contracted with a company called BAC Consulting in Hungary to
manufacture the pagers. BAC Consulting was one of three shell
(01:03:26):
companies that Israel created to mask the true manufacture of
the communications equipment, which.
Speaker 4 (01:03:33):
Is Israeli intelligence.
Speaker 5 (01:03:36):
BAC Consulting created real pagers for numerous customers to create
the perception of a legitimate company in order to get
picked up for the contract to produce the pagers for Hesbola.
The pagers manufactured for Hesbola were separate from those made
for other clients. The pagers that Hesbela received contained battery's
(01:04:00):
laced with the explosive PETN and began shipping in twenty
twenty two. Interesting this blogger said, one of my objections
to the planted explosives idea was that there was no
way for explosives in the battery compartment to access the
antenna circuitry to receive the detonation signal. But if Israel
(01:04:24):
had designed the pagers from the ground up to go boom,
then obviously that's not a problem. Seriously, people, seriously, the
blogger continues. My other objection was that Israel would be
better off gathering intel from the pagers than making them
go boom. But if they manufacture them, they probably have
(01:04:45):
all the intel they need on locations of leadership, warehouses, weapons,
et cetera. It looks like Israel was the one that
blinded Hesbela, not the reverse. It may also explain, says
the blogger, why Israel hasn't assassinated Nozraala yet he's the
head of HESBLA, because he's evidently an idiot. Yeah, that's
(01:05:09):
kind of fascinating. This whole thing is just like crazier
and crazier and crazier.
Speaker 4 (01:05:19):
Just crazy. Now, when we get back, we got the
two minute drill coming up. Later in the hour. We're
gonna talk to a race car driver from Colorado Speedway.
It's all gonna come up, big hour. Nothing to see.
Speaker 5 (01:05:31):
Got lots of things on the blog. We're not gonna
get to you today. You know, the blog is like
a companion to the show. You look at the blog,
you listen to the show.
Speaker 6 (01:05:40):
It all comes together.
Speaker 5 (01:05:43):
We will do Kamala's word salad. We're gonna do that
as part of the two minute Drill, Kamala with Oprah
and what can only be described as the softest softball
of softballing interviews in the history of softballing. And even
then Kamala has to make up a salad instead of
(01:06:04):
just answering a question.
Speaker 6 (01:06:05):
We'll do all that next.
Speaker 1 (01:06:07):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and injury Lawyers.
Speaker 2 (01:06:11):
No, it's Mandy connellyn.
Speaker 9 (01:06:21):
FM, sad Way Say and the Nicety Preyvnyconnell, Keithing Real.
Speaker 4 (01:06:31):
Sad Thing Pococa Welcome.
Speaker 7 (01:06:34):
Now.
Speaker 4 (01:06:34):
I know I just said I was doing the two
minute drill, but then on the break I saw something
that it's got me gobsmacked. I I just want to
share it with you.
Speaker 5 (01:06:46):
I mean, maybe I might be overreacting right, maybe this
maybe just hit me sideways a little bit, but I
just want to play this little story from MSNBC.
Speaker 4 (01:06:57):
Okay, just bear with me because I just need to know.
Speaker 5 (01:07:02):
Am I alone and I'm having emotions and I just
want to know if I'm maybe I'm okay here, let
me just play it.
Speaker 6 (01:07:12):
Attendance today as well.
Speaker 12 (01:07:13):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, this is an important and interesting
cabinet meeting because of who is not there, which was
Vice President Harris obviously, who has her campaign schedule, but
then because of the spotlight that the First Lady did have.
She's talked about the fact that sometimes the White House,
in her words, surprises you. And for somebody who has
worked on women's health issues for her whole career, frankly
(01:07:33):
as a teacher, but also as the Second Lady and
now as the First Lady, she said one of the
things that struck her the most was the inequities in
medical research funding for medical research for women. So this
is an important priority of hers that she had the
opportunity to add this cabinet meeting to spotlight. And as
you had that great interview with her Peter talking about
the fact that, yes, a burden may have been lifted
from her husband's shoulder in one respect with the end
(01:07:56):
of his campaign, but there's still a lot of work
that they both intend to do during their life.
Speaker 5 (01:08:00):
A few months ago now, it says the Chiron says,
First Lady joins President Biden in cabinet meeting.
Speaker 4 (01:08:07):
But in the long shot, I didn't see him. Maybe
she has him in her purse.
Speaker 5 (01:08:14):
I don't know, But this This morning, I was driving
to work and I was listening Jimmy Sengerberg's filling in
for Ross, and I was listening to Jimmy talk about
the very valid question of who.
Speaker 4 (01:08:28):
Is running our country right now. Don't get me wrong,
I don't want.
Speaker 5 (01:08:33):
It to be Joe Biden because I do believe that
his mental acuity is far worse than we even imagine
after that debate, and I think that the world knows it,
and I think that we have a vacuum of power
at the top and the fact that no one's talking
about it and that no one is expressing the concern.
Speaker 4 (01:08:55):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (01:08:55):
Do you know why they're not invoking the twenty fifth Amendment?
Because they want Kamala on the campaign trail. So they're
willing to let a man who was so mentally deficient
that they got together and kicked him out of the
primary that he had already won and replaced him with
(01:09:17):
another person, just like hey, were you were just going
to replace this person.
Speaker 4 (01:09:22):
I need that. Hang on second, I want to play this.
Speaker 5 (01:09:25):
This is Nancy Pelosi at the National Association of Black Journalists,
and I want you to listen to what Nancy Pelosi
said about the primary process that elevated Kamala Harris to
where she is today. Oh geez, every time I moved,
the cursor moves the I just need, just need to
sneak in there.
Speaker 6 (01:09:46):
Do that.
Speaker 13 (01:09:46):
You had reportedly said you wanted a sort of an
open primary. When if Joe Biden stepped down, did you
changed your mind because you saw all the excitement around
Kamala Harris.
Speaker 6 (01:10:00):
No, I didn't change my mind.
Speaker 10 (01:10:01):
We had an open primary and she won it.
Speaker 4 (01:10:03):
Nobody else got in the race because she was politically
a student. Listen, then that is the National Association of
Black Journalists clapping as San fran Man, San Francisco.
Speaker 5 (01:10:19):
Nancy Pelosi lied through her teeth. There was no primary.
Speaker 4 (01:10:27):
Not a single vote was cast for Kamala Harris in
any election cycle.
Speaker 6 (01:10:33):
She got the.
Speaker 5 (01:10:33):
Electors, but the electors were pretty much just told to
fall in line, and they did. So I'm gonna play
that for you one more time.
Speaker 13 (01:10:43):
You had reportedly said you wanted a sort of an
open primary. When if Joe Biden stepped down, did you
changed your mind because you saw all the excitement around
Kamala Harris.
Speaker 4 (01:10:57):
No, I didn't change my mind.
Speaker 10 (01:10:58):
We had an open primary.
Speaker 7 (01:10:59):
And she won it.
Speaker 4 (01:11:00):
Nobody else got in the race because she was politically
a student and that was the thought, let's show our talent.
We have a great bench.
Speaker 5 (01:11:10):
And then she goes on blah blah blah blah blah,
and what's funny is you have And I didn't put
any of this on the blog today, but Hillary Clinton
has come out and said, you know, the free speech,
she didn't say it like this, misinformation must be stopped
and sometimes it might take jail time.
Speaker 4 (01:11:26):
Tim Walt says misinformation.
Speaker 5 (01:11:28):
Isn't protected speech, except it is, because if it wasn't,
Nancy Pelosi would be in prison.
Speaker 4 (01:11:33):
By now for stuff like this. So I guess Biden
was at the cabinet meeting.
Speaker 6 (01:11:42):
Okay, good.
Speaker 5 (01:11:43):
President Biden convened his cabinet on Friday for the first
time of a year, and Jill Biden joined him for
the meeting, So you know, I mean, I guess he's there.
This whole thing is just it's all weird, it's all strange.
And now let me get you some of the stories
(01:12:03):
that would have been in the HW minute drill. So
you guys need to go and vote for the coolest
thing made in Colorado.
Speaker 4 (01:12:11):
They have a People's Choice Award.
Speaker 5 (01:12:12):
This is such a cool thing that the Colorado Chamber
of Commerce does, and we talk about it every year
after they announce the coolest things made in Colorado.
Speaker 4 (01:12:20):
But you can actually vote.
Speaker 5 (01:12:22):
They've got finalists that you can check from and a
lot of them are cool medical stuff. Gyroscope. Who doesn't
need a gyroscope? Freedom tracks. I kind of love this one.
It's a motorized off road attachment designed for manual wheelchairs.
It allows people who have to use a wheelchair to
(01:12:44):
be able to go over rough surfaces so they can
actually go down a path. And it replaces traditional wheels
with a track system.
Speaker 6 (01:12:51):
That's super cool.
Speaker 5 (01:12:52):
Then, of course great Range, Premium, Bison cut Pison, handmade
woodsaw jigsaw puzzles from Liberty Puzzles. Maybe we can reach
out to them to have them make our puzzle of
the Governor's face when he had to talk to me.
Speaker 4 (01:13:06):
A PC twenty four jet is the world's only.
Speaker 5 (01:13:09):
Business jet capable of landing on unpaved surfaces such as dirt,
grass and gravel. It's a drug dealer's stream, my friends.
I mean, I don't act like you guys didn't think it.
We've all seen those movies from the eighties.
Speaker 1 (01:13:24):
We know.
Speaker 5 (01:13:27):
Pre tread sustainable barriers and barricades made from ninety five
percent recycled materials seventy to eight one hundred scrap tires
per barrier.
Speaker 6 (01:13:36):
That's kind of cool.
Speaker 5 (01:13:38):
Solar powered cold storage, sustainable handmade terra Cotta tiles. Terra
Cotta is having a moment right now, and apparently these
tiles are using sediment from the Paioneer Reservoir and capturing
methane from abandoned goal mines. The tiles support climate action
and sustainable manufacturing. The methane, what otherwise contributes significant climate pollution,
(01:14:02):
is utilized to power kilns and facility, creating a greenin
solution for producing high quality ceramics. Particular tile is based
in Montrose. See, I love all this stuff. Go vote
for your favorite. We also need to talk for just nope,
you know, and I don't have time to do that.
I'm looking to see the story of the cabinet meeting
with Joe Biden.
Speaker 6 (01:14:22):
I was like, what.
Speaker 5 (01:14:25):
When you get back, I have a question. Can you
write a mystery in six words? This is the kind
of contest that I absolutely love. A six word mystery?
Would you like to know what last year's winner was.
Speaker 7 (01:14:43):
I can tell you.
Speaker 6 (01:14:44):
I just have to find it on the blog.
Speaker 5 (01:14:46):
One second, last year's six word mystery winner was this,
I called his widow.
Speaker 4 (01:14:52):
He answered, that's good. That's good.
Speaker 6 (01:14:57):
Now I do a limerick.
Speaker 7 (01:15:00):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (01:15:01):
I might have gotten not ahead of my skis on
that one. Okay, I might.
Speaker 5 (01:15:05):
I might have over committed and under delivered on the
limericks situation. I do recognize my limitations here. That being said,
why don't we take a commercial break and forget all
about that unpleasantness?
Speaker 6 (01:15:15):
Can I just.
Speaker 4 (01:15:18):
Challenge you for a moment, and I'm going to use
your or use a contest from the Colorado Sun to
challenge you. I love stuff like this. Write a mystery
in six words. That's the contest, But there's five different categories.
The five categories are thriller, cozy romance and lust, police, procedural,
(01:15:40):
and hard boiled noir. Now what do you do here?
You write a mystery in six words? And this is
just super fun.
Speaker 5 (01:15:53):
The contest draws from a legendary tale where someone challenged
Ernest Hemingway in a ten dollars bit in the nineteen twenties.
He said, write a six word novel, and Ernest Hemingway
came back with for Sale Baby.
Speaker 4 (01:16:09):
Shoes Never Worn. So you get the concept here.
Speaker 5 (01:16:15):
And I thought it might be interesting to have you
guys write six words a six word description of the.
Speaker 4 (01:16:23):
Mandy Connell Show. Now it's a challenge. You don't have
to do it today.
Speaker 5 (01:16:26):
You can work on it. You can email me later.
I might even be able to get a prize of
some sort, some sort of prize. Maybe we shall see five, six, six,
nine O is where you can text it Mandy and
a Rod. My six word mystery is what does Kamala
Harris think anyway?
Speaker 2 (01:16:45):
Not bad?
Speaker 4 (01:16:46):
That's a political six word mystery, A six word mystery
Kamala Harris as the presidential candidate. I'm seeing a theme here.
I'm seeing a theme on this.
Speaker 7 (01:17:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:17:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:17:03):
By the way, why don't the Republicans get involved in
the twenty fifth Amendment thing? It has to be done
by someone in the cabinet or the vice president. It's
not just anybody. I don't know now that I said that,
you'd have to have a whole bunch of people that
stood up and said it at the same time.
Speaker 4 (01:17:19):
And I don't know if that's going to be Uh,
thanks for the.
Speaker 5 (01:17:22):
Opportunity to share, says this text her. I do work,
but after I make lunch for students. That's the lunchroom
lady who's listening to us from the lunch room today.
Speaker 4 (01:17:32):
I was thinking about this. I actually sent this to
my daughter. My daughter is a writer, and I say that.
You know, everybody's like, oh, my kid's going to be
a doctor, my kid's going to be president. Now, my
kid is a writer. And it started when she was
very young.
Speaker 5 (01:17:48):
From the time she could actually write letters on the paper,
she's been writing stories and the stories have always been hilarious.
Speaker 4 (01:17:58):
There was that time Goldielaw was trapped in a castle. No,
she was a princess.
Speaker 6 (01:18:04):
Excuse me.
Speaker 4 (01:18:04):
Goldilocks was a different story.
Speaker 5 (01:18:06):
So a princess was trapped in a castle because her
parents wanted her to be a cheerleader, but she just
wanted to be best friends with a bear that lived
in the woods, and so she ran away from home
and went to live with the bear. But then the
bear attacked her, so she killed the bear the end.
I think she was like five or six when she
(01:18:28):
wrote that story. And I didn't get it exactly right,
but I got the gist, so I sent it to her.
I said, you gotta do this, You got to enter
this contest. I love stuff like this because people are
so clever. Do not be the person, by the way,
who uses AI to come up with this, because that's
cheating and it's not nice. Oh, so I asked you
(01:18:51):
to describe the Mandy Connell Show in six words. Tall, blond, knowledgeable, feisty,
kicks ass yes, yes, indeed, Mandy.
Speaker 4 (01:19:01):
He's dead, bullet hole, no stilettos.
Speaker 5 (01:19:05):
That's good, Mandy noon to three A to Z. That's
a little bit cheating when you lose a letter. As
a number radio host, outspoken commentator, insightful storyteller, Mandy hot
topic can lead anywhere you get in the hang of it.
Speaker 4 (01:19:21):
But I really want it to be like an actual
story of the show. I'll work online in this break.
Speaker 5 (01:19:27):
But then when we come back, we're gonna talk to
a guy who not only races cars, his whole family
races cars, and we're.
Speaker 4 (01:19:33):
Gonna talk to him about that. It's kind of just
a living, but I don't think he does it for
a living.
Speaker 6 (01:19:38):
It's just for fun.
Speaker 5 (01:19:39):
We'll do our new segment just for fun after this,
and as someone who has As I said earlier, I've
written in a pace car, I've had that experience.
Speaker 4 (01:19:52):
I don't like to drive where I feel like.
Speaker 6 (01:19:55):
I could die.
Speaker 4 (01:19:57):
I mean that's.
Speaker 6 (01:20:00):
I'll drive fast, you know, but when.
Speaker 4 (01:20:03):
You drive fast enough this things start shaking. I'm like,
you know, I don't feel good about this. You just
walk that back a little.
Speaker 5 (01:20:09):
Bit, walk it back. We're gonna do that after the news,
traffic and weather. Paul Himler, he is little drummer boy,
but he was white chocolate.
Speaker 4 (01:20:18):
Now wait a minute.
Speaker 5 (01:20:19):
First of all, if I become a race car driver, Paul,
do I get to choose my own nickname.
Speaker 7 (01:20:24):
You can try to choose it, but normally the race
car drivers around you will help and create one that
doesn't flattering.
Speaker 4 (01:20:33):
So you used to be white chocolate, Yes, and that
came from.
Speaker 7 (01:20:37):
People have seen me dance and we tend to be
the party trailer at the end of the night and
a Rod comes around to visit us. And since I'm
a white guy and I dance like Jackson, Oh wow.
Speaker 4 (01:20:51):
A rod just kicking you right under the bus there,
that's what that was.
Speaker 7 (01:20:55):
Yeah, We've had a friendly competition at the track and
he did lose.
Speaker 4 (01:20:58):
Is there any it's worth going on?
Speaker 6 (01:20:59):
Is there in?
Speaker 4 (01:21:00):
Is there slow bought? What's happening?
Speaker 6 (01:21:01):
What's going on?
Speaker 7 (01:21:02):
It's a little bit of everything. It's mostly eighties and
nineties kind of hip hop stuff.
Speaker 4 (01:21:06):
Nice, yes, very nice. And then little Drummer Boy is
what you've been named by Anthony?
Speaker 6 (01:21:12):
Yeah, he gave that to me.
Speaker 7 (01:21:13):
I play in an eighties band. I'm a drummer, and
he came to see one of our gigs and came
away with Little Drummer Boy, So it's kind of stuck.
Speaker 6 (01:21:20):
Well, a fantastic drummer. I'm a million times better than
a dancer. Let me ask you.
Speaker 5 (01:21:26):
Let me ask this question about your eighties band, because
I just went and watched an eighties band and I
found myself paul out on the dance floor with a
bunch of elderly people. And I was shocked and confused
by this, and then I realized I am very quickly
becoming an elderly person.
Speaker 7 (01:21:43):
Yeah, there is that. The band is named Stereo Collision,
And although most of the patrons are my age I'm
fifty eight, we do have a younger crowd, and even
my kids that are in their younger twenties, they tend
to come out and just love the music.
Speaker 6 (01:21:58):
A lot of sensible shoes.
Speaker 7 (01:22:00):
Crab Absolutely.
Speaker 10 (01:22:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:22:01):
So let's talk about racing cars. How did you get
into racing cars?
Speaker 4 (01:22:05):
Huh?
Speaker 7 (01:22:06):
So? Back in the day, to blow time off on
a Saturday, my wife and I used to go to
the racetrack color On National Speedway and they had things
called circle drags where everybody can get in their daily driver,
their minivan, their work truck, whatever they had during intermission
and run around and compete. And I did that four
different times and we won it. And the last time
I did it, I almost spun and almost hit the wall,
(01:22:27):
and my wife said, you're you're an.
Speaker 4 (01:22:29):
Idiot, Like, what are you in Evolvo? What are you
driving around the ice drive?
Speaker 9 (01:22:32):
G eight?
Speaker 7 (01:22:33):
It's it's a fairly high powered car. Yeah, And she said,
you know what, you're an idiot. Why don't you just
go buy a race car? And I'm like, what did you?
Speaker 5 (01:22:41):
And then she wanted to just shove those words back
in her mouth, but it was too late. They were
already out in the ether.
Speaker 7 (01:22:46):
They were and kind of the rest is history. We
investigated a legend car to start off.
Speaker 4 (01:22:52):
With, and what is the legend car. I know nothing
about this kind of race.
Speaker 7 (01:22:55):
There, that's the one on the back of my shirt.
It's a small, like a third scale race cars. Got
a motorcycle motor in it and forty horse powers, basically
a souped up go kart, very souped up gold cart. Yeah,
and there's like thirty to forty of them on the
racetrack at one time, so it's very competitive. A lot
of the NASCAR guys start in these cars.
Speaker 6 (01:23:13):
Yeah, so they do well.
Speaker 4 (01:23:15):
And do they count as a funny car?
Speaker 6 (01:23:17):
They do not.
Speaker 4 (01:23:18):
What is a funny car?
Speaker 7 (01:23:19):
Funny cars? Dragsters?
Speaker 6 (01:23:20):
Oh that's right, Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 7 (01:23:21):
Yeah, we go circle circle.
Speaker 6 (01:23:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:23:23):
Drag racing is a whole different beast.
Speaker 5 (01:23:25):
I've never been to a louder sporting event, and I've
been to monster trucks in an arena. Never been to
a sporting event louder than drag racing. I had earplugs,
I had headphones, and it still made my ears ring
the next day.
Speaker 9 (01:23:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (01:23:38):
Crazy, it's insane, and we're pretty loud at the track.
So I got a car, started racing one year. We
went to nationals our first year. Then my daughter, who's
never been in a stick shift or a race car.
Wanted to get into it, and so we bought her
a car and she's been racing that ever since. I
know she is twenty four now, so how long has
she been racing since seventeen?
Speaker 9 (01:23:59):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (01:23:59):
Wow, a long time. Yeah, we started late in our life.
Speaker 7 (01:24:02):
Most of these people that are good race car drivers
are starting at four and a half five years old
and working their way.
Speaker 9 (01:24:07):
Sure.
Speaker 5 (01:24:07):
Yeah, I tried to get the queue behind the wheel
at four and five, but she was like, no, Mommy,
I want to play with dolls. You kind of come
from a family of speed freaks.
Speaker 10 (01:24:17):
We do.
Speaker 7 (01:24:17):
Yeah, it's been a big family affair. My other daughters
are pit crew. She's also our spotter, so she's involved.
My wife takes care of all the race day preparations
and all of the cooking and alcoholic beverages that are
particularly absolutely takes care of all the music, all that
(01:24:38):
good stuff. And my father was into cars back in
the day. And then of course my brother used to
fly jets with the Blue Angels, so he's a speed
freak as well.
Speaker 4 (01:24:47):
So have you always been a thrill seeker?
Speaker 7 (01:24:50):
You know, I haven't. I've been involved in competitive sports
my whole life, and ever since my body has deteriorated,
I need something to fill that void. And something came
along and it was racing.
Speaker 4 (01:25:02):
Now, what are your what are.
Speaker 5 (01:25:04):
Your goals or aspirations? Is this just a fun hobby
at this level and that's where.
Speaker 10 (01:25:09):
It is for you?
Speaker 5 (01:25:10):
Does your daughter have any aspirations of going further and
trying to become a professional driver.
Speaker 7 (01:25:14):
Uh, we'd like to say yes, but that's not really reality.
We go out to have fun. The biggest and most
important part of our night is at the end of
the night when they open up the pits for all
the fans to come back and sign autographs. The huge
line is always behind my daughter's race car, all the women,
even the men, the young girls. That that's what we
(01:25:34):
really live for is today, Thank you very much, Hey Rod,
that's what we live for. We are not financed play
any and we have no sponsorships. That's all out of
pocket for us, and so it's just the local thing.
We we have a great racetrack here in Colorado and
we just go out to have fun.
Speaker 4 (01:25:51):
I was gonna ask you when you start buying race cars, I.
Speaker 5 (01:25:54):
Mean, what do you what are you expending in a
year on this hobby and and if you ever added
it up and then to your wife what she started
and blame.
Speaker 4 (01:26:01):
It on her, that's what I would do.
Speaker 7 (01:26:03):
I would know it's a lot of money. We don't
add it up. We try to create a budget at
the beginning of the year, and this year we got
into four different wrecks and it just destroyed our budget
within a month of the race season. It's rather expensive.
They try to keep the price down. The track does
a good job at that. But to buy a race
(01:26:23):
car like that's on my shirt that my daughter runs,
is about fifteen to twenty thousand dollars to start to
move up, and to run a Grand American Modified or
a pro truck, you're talking twenty to forty five thousand
dollars for the vehicle.
Speaker 10 (01:26:37):
Right.
Speaker 7 (01:26:37):
You've got weekly maintenance, you gotta buy tires, you gotta
buy fuel. That's ten dollars a gallon at the racetrack.
So it adds up because.
Speaker 5 (01:26:44):
You're not using like you're not pulling up the costco
and gassing up the racecar.
Speaker 7 (01:26:48):
Man, No, man, we have to use one hundred and
ten octane at the racetrack.
Speaker 4 (01:26:51):
One hundred and ten octane.
Speaker 7 (01:26:53):
Yes, ma'am, that's insane. It burns pretty good.
Speaker 4 (01:26:57):
And how much do you go through it a night?
Speaker 6 (01:26:59):
It's not a lot.
Speaker 7 (01:27:00):
In her car, she'll run through maybe five gallons. Yeah,
in the big trucks, you'll double that.
Speaker 4 (01:27:06):
Have you ever gotten into an accident? It almost died.
Speaker 7 (01:27:09):
We've gotten into some pretty bad accidents. I've been knocked
out unconscious, had to be taken to the hospital three times.
My daughter's been taking the hospital twice. So it's it's
a rough sport. But I tell you what, I'd rather
be strapped into a race car going as fast as
we are versus going down I twenty five in my
daily driver without a doubt.
Speaker 5 (01:27:28):
Is that because the drivers at least on the racetrack
and theory have some kind of training and you, you know,
you have a little more control in that situation.
Speaker 7 (01:27:36):
No, it's just the safety gear we wear is insane.
You're in a fall fire shuit, you got a Han's
device on, You're strapped in like a fighter jet, and
the cars are built to take those kind of hits.
Speaker 4 (01:27:47):
What do you mean those kind of hits?
Speaker 6 (01:27:49):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (01:27:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (01:27:50):
So do I try to avoid anything that involves me
getting hit by anything in any way, shape or for it.
Speaker 7 (01:27:54):
Yeah, normally, No, I don't say normally. Every now and
again you will bump against another competitor, and if you're unlucky,
you will then hit the concrete wall. So when you
tend to hit a concrete wall, that's what they say.
When you had a concrete wall at eighty five miles
an hour, it tends to leave a mark.
Speaker 4 (01:28:12):
How much do you spend or not?
Speaker 5 (01:28:14):
How much time do you spend repairing the body of
these cars after a race?
Speaker 7 (01:28:20):
That's a great question. When I first got into racing,
I just thought you'd show up on a Saturday night,
strap yourself in, go out and have fun. I never
knew that it was this much work. We're working on
race cars every day of the week, every day and then.
Speaker 4 (01:28:35):
But you're doing this as a family.
Speaker 6 (01:28:36):
We are.
Speaker 7 (01:28:37):
My daughter works on her own car. She'll get in
there and wrench on, change oil, just she'll take motors
out herself, put them back in. It's a huge family event.
Speaker 5 (01:28:45):
Can I just go ahead and get her number now?
For all the guys that are about to text me
and say I'd like to meet this woman.
Speaker 7 (01:28:49):
That would be so awesome. She is so in need
of a guy. When me just put that out there.
Speaker 5 (01:28:54):
I know you're listening to you that your daughter is
now screaming at the radio right now.
Speaker 6 (01:29:04):
Yeah, So I think this is the cool way.
Speaker 5 (01:29:06):
I mean, if if the whole family's involved, then then
it is your family hobby in it. It probably you
guys probably spend more time together because of it.
Speaker 8 (01:29:14):
Oh, we do.
Speaker 6 (01:29:15):
And to have girls involved with it.
Speaker 7 (01:29:17):
There's not a lot of ladies out there at the track,
and it's just a huge thing to get young girls
into racing and to get young drivers into racing. And
that's what we're trying to show. We're trying to build
a sport. We're trying to keep our track here in
Colorado alive. There's a lot of other tracks that have
closed down recently, and so we're very fortunate to have
a great track literally in my backyard. It's five minutes
away from our lift.
Speaker 5 (01:29:38):
Well, I mean, you have all these young kids that
are trying to make two two five a track or
downtown Aurora track or whatever, and it's like, why don't
you go and take advantage of some of these opportunities.
Speaker 4 (01:29:47):
What are some of the things they do with the racetrack?
Speaker 5 (01:29:49):
It would allow to your point you started, because they
let anybody on the racetrack.
Speaker 7 (01:29:54):
Yeah, they can for sure come out. It's the first
Saturday of every month. They just sign up online or
at the racetrack and they bring their daily driver out there.
They also have special events where they can do drifting
and things like that on a Sunday. So there are
events and we also do Uh, there's drivers out there
that'll let up and coming drivers or want to be
drivers get in their race car and tool around the racetracks.
Speaker 6 (01:30:16):
I'm well, that's really cool.
Speaker 7 (01:30:18):
So if you want to come out and see what
it's all about, jumping my race car, go around around
a little bit and see if it's something that you're
interested in.
Speaker 4 (01:30:24):
Now, Paul, you're not a tiny man, but you're not
a large man. How much space is there in these
race cars? Like what is the average height weight of
a driver?
Speaker 7 (01:30:33):
Yeah, it's all over the place. We have We have
kids the age of twelve years old that'll get in
these cars. It's all about the proper seat and placement
of the pedals. And we have guys that are six
three two fifty in those cars.
Speaker 4 (01:30:46):
How does a kid how does a kid get to drive?
Speaker 6 (01:30:49):
The car.
Speaker 7 (01:30:49):
Legally, there are specific age groups that are dictated to
us by the governing bodies, either IX or NASCAR. INX
happens to mandate twelve years old. It used to be
fourteen prior to this year, and now it is down
to twelve.
Speaker 4 (01:31:03):
Well, I mean, are they trying to expand the hook
them you kind of thing? What's the logic behind that?
Speaker 7 (01:31:08):
Yeah, they're trying to hook them me on. And right
now the Kyle Bushes and the Kevin Harvick's, all the
big NASCAR drivers, their kids are now twelve years old.
Speaker 4 (01:31:15):
Ah, they're now all makes sense?
Speaker 7 (01:31:19):
All the money thing this is.
Speaker 5 (01:31:21):
This is definitely a dynasty sport, right is That's just
because like, and I'm not a huge NASCAR fan, but
growing up in Florida, you just have to be aware
of it, especially because I lived in the redneck part
of Florida, So it does seem like that it is
easier to get your foot in the door if you
are part of a racing family.
Speaker 6 (01:31:38):
That's for sure.
Speaker 7 (01:31:39):
You have all the connections, you have the sponsorship packages
that come along with it, and that's a big advantage.
You know. We have some a division out of color
National Speedway it's called super late models. And those race
cars are one hundred and fifty two hundred thousand dollars
race cars and they come with full trailers and full
pit crews and all that stuff. And most of those
guys have gotten in because they've started or had a
(01:32:00):
connection when they are very young.
Speaker 4 (01:32:01):
So what do you have sponsors at this level?
Speaker 7 (01:32:05):
We we do not as a team, but there's a
lot of folks out there that do have sponsorships.
Speaker 4 (01:32:09):
Yes, that's really cool.
Speaker 6 (01:32:10):
So what do you have on your suit?
Speaker 7 (01:32:12):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (01:32:13):
You put a Mandy Connall show a patch on your suit?
If I get one made, you get one made, I'll
put it all over that's happening. Yes, that is happening.
I'll put your name on the side of my race
if I give you fifty bucks. Am I now your sponsor?
And as the only sponsor we're going to completely bring
How about this? How much do you think it would
cost to have a fire suit made with my face
all over it?
Speaker 9 (01:32:32):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (01:32:33):
That would be I'd wear that.
Speaker 4 (01:32:34):
Wouldn't that be called?
Speaker 7 (01:32:35):
I would wear that?
Speaker 6 (01:32:36):
For sure?
Speaker 4 (01:32:36):
So we got to find that out.
Speaker 5 (01:32:37):
You know, at a minimum, we have an air freshener
hanging in your car with my face on its Yes,
there you go.
Speaker 4 (01:32:43):
No, the Mandy Condall Show is fully sponsoring his race car.
Speaker 6 (01:32:46):
This is happening.
Speaker 4 (01:32:47):
So the season is almost over though, isn't it.
Speaker 7 (01:32:49):
It is October fifth is our last race, and that's
a big race for the fans because we open up
the track and all the kids get to come out
and do trick or treat at the race cars. It's
really cool.
Speaker 5 (01:32:59):
One text I'll take care of the kids while she races,
So I would definitely let you get inside my come
out to the race car and see purple pain and
you know, sweeper off her feet. But it's going to
take a special man to to be the right match
for her. As a strong woman myself, trust me, it
is harder to find the kind of guy who can
(01:33:20):
allow you to shine and not have it hurt their ego.
Speaker 7 (01:33:22):
That's very true. And she would say that I'm I'm
a little bit getting in the way of making this
all happen, So I'm kind of a tough dad.
Speaker 5 (01:33:31):
Well, okay, so what do you want? Do you want
grandkids or do you want to be a tough dad?
Pick one, pick it now, right now on the air,
Paul tough Dad okay, yeah, sorry.
Speaker 4 (01:33:39):
Trust me as a grandmother. You want grandkids do I? Yeah, okay,
lay off, lay off, don't scare them all away. Let
her scare them all away, off away, and they're in
their own self. So what is the next kind of
what's the next step up in cars? And are you
going to make that move too?
Speaker 7 (01:33:58):
So at color National Speedway in Colorado, we start off
with bandos, that's the little kids six, eight, ten years old,
and then you go to legends, which is what my
daughter's running. From there, you can move up to pure
stock superstock you can run.
Speaker 4 (01:34:12):
Are those closer to what we see on the NASCAR?
Because those are stock cars?
Speaker 7 (01:34:15):
Right? They call it stock cars? But no, the NASCAR
equivalent is what we call super late models? Okay, and
they look and function pretty darn close. We have pro
trucks and Grand American Modified and then we got figure
eights and trains, which are always crowd favorites.
Speaker 6 (01:34:29):
Out of the track is that where you.
Speaker 4 (01:34:31):
Just go around and to figureate and race into each other?
What is it? We're laughing?
Speaker 6 (01:34:35):
The train is that you're asking about?
Speaker 2 (01:34:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (01:34:36):
Figure des No, Paul, tell her what trains are?
Speaker 7 (01:34:38):
So trains are we have three cars that are literally
welded together. The back car has brakes, no motor, The
middle car is a dummy car. In the front car
has no brakes and just the accelerator and they whip
around and they just cause havoc and they do a
figure eight, and it is literally a crowd favorite. It's
just something to be awesome. Yeah, it's it is.
Speaker 4 (01:34:58):
Now how much people get hurt doing this on a
regular basis?
Speaker 7 (01:35:01):
How many people get hurt? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:35:03):
I mean, is it like once to night somebody gets hurt,
or every three weeks.
Speaker 7 (01:35:07):
It's probably once a month where you see an ambulance
come out to the track where they have somebody that's
you know, tended to in the pit area. Very rarely
do you see someone getting taken to the hospital. I'm
probably up there in the most frequent for the hospital scene.
But it's it's wicked safe the track and the crews
out there that are there for our safety do an
outstanding job. Like I said, I'd rather be out there
(01:35:29):
running at the speeds or running with race car drivers
than I twenty five.
Speaker 5 (01:35:33):
Well, I can't blame you for that, So white Chocolate
little drummer boy, Paul Hammler, whatever, your name is. Now
that you have embarrassed your daughter, it's time for me
to probably embarrass you.
Speaker 4 (01:35:46):
Because now it's time for the most exciting segment.
Speaker 6 (01:35:49):
On the radio on its guide in the world of
the day. Nice.
Speaker 4 (01:35:56):
That was well done, Paul, extremely well done. Well done.
That was great.
Speaker 7 (01:36:02):
I practiced that did?
Speaker 6 (01:36:03):
You really should have.
Speaker 4 (01:36:04):
Because you did an excellent chop. Okay, what is our
dad joke of the day?
Speaker 6 (01:36:07):
What do we want raising noises? When do we want them?
I love that one.
Speaker 4 (01:36:15):
That's a great one.
Speaker 6 (01:36:17):
I do, thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (01:36:19):
It reminds me of that time I did a show
from the Mickeyard.
Speaker 5 (01:36:21):
Five hundred Disney's Small track. They put us on the
infield while they were practicing. Oh so the whole show
was us talking very quickly like this, then e and
then we were talking really guys like the who all day.
It was the funniest thing I've ever experienced in my life.
Speaker 4 (01:36:36):
It was like a bad movie. Okay, today's word of
the day. Please is a verb.
Speaker 6 (01:36:39):
Okay, guess what it means. Winn o w I n

Speaker 4 (01:36:43):
That means to whittle something down, to get rid of summery.
Speaker 7 (01:36:47):

Yeah, both wrong.
Speaker 6 (01:36:55):
Winnowing is about removing what is not wanted to remove off.
Speaker 4 (01:37:00):
That's exactly what I said.
Speaker 6 (01:37:01):
You down yesting like somebody.
Speaker 4 (01:37:05):
No, no, no, you whittle down the numbers, you get
rid of stuff.
Speaker 5 (01:37:08):
I'm with you.
Speaker 7 (01:37:09):
I knew that.
Speaker 4 (01:37:09):
I knew that one. That was an easy one.
Speaker 5 (01:37:12):
Today's trivia question the integumentary integumentary. The integumentary system is
one of several systems that composed the human body. Others

The skin is the body's the worst organ and plays
several critical roles.
Speaker 4 (01:37:49):
And that's what that is about. Wow, skin hair and nails.
Speaker 7 (01:37:52):
We need to dumb this down for me, No, we don't, Paul.
Speaker 5 (01:37:55):
Now, Paul, you know how this works because you listened, Paul.
You yell, Paul, and if you have answer the question,
you answer to the form of a question. If you
get it right, you get a point if you get.
Speaker 4 (01:38:03):
It wrong minus one. So there you go, all right,
