(01:08):

do the rest of it before then, and then we'll
just have that wild time that last half hour. Check
themandy'sblog dot com. That's mandy'sblog dot com. Look for the

(01:31):
headline that says ten four twenty four blog the wine
Yogi pops in with Carboy Winery plus gen X is old.
Click on that and here are the headlines you will
find within. I didn't go with some list in office
half of American all with ships and clipmas and say,
let's got a press platch today on the blog, it's
time to talk bubbles. The Great American Beer Festival is

(01:52):
next weekend. It's an ask me anything sort of day.
Joe Biden's surveyed storm damage yesterday. The Mayor's office is
declare a small victory. Gen X I have bad news
for US doc workers have pushed back their strike. The
flu vaccine may be pretty worthless this year. Melania hates
her husband maybe uh squirreling. I'm so sad. Garth Brooks

(02:14):
has been accused of rape. These ditty accusations are really unbelievable.
Jade Vance's look at the camera was a coincidence. Fit
young people are having heart attacks. The Sahara is turning green.
The IDF announces the death of Hamasa's number two guy.
Get to our Kasabanita reservations. Monday, Politico covers Walls's lies

(02:35):
with kid gloves about those blue zones, the dumbest thing
on NBC this week, MSNBC this week, there will be
a lottery for Hamilton costco ups. It's doomsday prep game.
This is what I was talking about yesterday when it
comes to worshiping people. Why isn't he the nominee? Those
are the headlines on the blog at mandy'sblog dot com.

(02:58):
You guys, did you guys happen to see Ron de
Santis Florida Governor Rond de Santis. I would love to
be voting for Ron de Santis in this upcoming election.
He uh not only said that he is going to
deploy the Florida National Guard to hurricane hit areas to

(03:18):
maintain order, he was also going to deploy them to
critical ports, the Port of Miami being one of them,
to literally try to resume operations at the port and
bust the strike. Now is it a coincidence that right
after he made this press conference announcement which I have

(03:39):
embedded on the bottom of the blog from yesterday. No,
it's in today's blog, but the press conference was yesterday.
I said that very poorly. I'm sorry. Does this have
anything to do with the union deciding to go ahead
and suspend the strike? Did it have anything to do
with it? I'm gonna say there may be a little bit,

(04:01):
just a little bit, for so many reasons. Number one,
the last thing this union wants is for somebody to
resume operations out of port without them in a right
to work state. Florida is very much a right to
work state, and that's the last thing they wanted to
deal with. However, they did get some wage concession, not

(04:24):
the seventy seven percent increase in the next five years,
but a sixty four to sixty six percent race. None
of that has been confirmed, or at least as of
this morning, it had not been confirmed because they were
still negotiating. But they were pretty sure that was what
they were doing, and they've graciously agreed to put off
the strike until after the election. How gracious of them.

(04:45):
Told you yesterday that strike could have been the death
knell for Vice President Harris's campaign one hundred percent, because
if people started getting reminded of coviding it people who
already panic buying toilet paper. You guys, I have a
newsflash for you. Toilet paper is made in the United
States of America. We may out of all the things

(05:08):
we make here, toilet paper is one of them. Kimberly
Clark makes a crapload pun intended of toilet paper here
in the United States. It doesn't get imported. So stop
with that now, anyway, and take it all back to Costco. Now.
They'll take your return, but they'll give you a stern

(05:29):
look for being an idiot in the first place. Anyway,
I'm sorry. Some of us have already, by the way,
hoarded our toilet paper, so we don't need to go
hoard more. We just plan ahead now. As I said,
the Winemogi popping on at two thirty with Kevin Weber
from Carboy Winery. Carboy is the first Colorado wine that

(05:49):
I had, one of their wines that I didn't think
was horrible. I'd had other Colorado wines, and I'm just
gonna be honest, I'm not going to name any of
them because honestly, I don't remember their names. They were horrible.
When I got ten years ago, the wine scene was
just bad. It was bad. And it has come so far,
oh my goodness, so so far. And Carboy's done a

(06:10):
lot to bring the industry along in Colorado, and they
have a new bubbly out Coseco, and the wine Yogi
has done all of Yellow Solid and written a great
blog post about Boxwine. So and it's not like, don't
do it, that's not what the blog post says. If
you want information about Boxwine, it is on the blog.
I linked to her blog today and they'll be in

(06:30):
at two thirty.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Now.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
The Great American Beer Festival is this weekend, next weekend,
next weekend, not this weekend, next weekend, and we have
tickets to give away. So I'm pretty excited about that.
Have you ever been to the Beer Festival? Have you
done that? Couver? Yeah, we've done shows from there the
last like three or four years. I'm trying to get them.
The problem for my show is nobody's there when I'm
on the air. It doesn't open until I'm off the air.

(06:54):
But I'm like, dude, let me come and just talk
to the brewers, you know, let me talk to the
beer makers. Here's another fun fact about Mandy when I
was in my early twenties. When I was in college,
I was a restaurant manager for a restaurant in the
Southeast called The Mill Bakery, Eatery and Brewery. So when
I was moving into becoming a manager, I had to
brew for two weeks. I had to bake for two weeks,

(07:17):
which sucks because it was in the middle of the night,
and then I had to just work in the restaurant
for two weeks. Right, that was like the training. So
I learned how to brew beer from that. From that experience,
I'm not going to say that I'm, you know, any
kind of like master brewer, but I can have an
educated conversation and I find the whole Great American Beer Fest.
You know, years and years ago, what I didn't live here,

(07:38):
and the beer fest was like so unique and so special,
and all over the country people would talk about coming
to the Great American Beer Fest and it was just
such a destination. Well, now there's like a beer festival everywhere,
you know, every five minutes there's a beer festival. And
I really want to go to this one because I
feel like this is the og, the granddaddy beer festival,

(07:59):
and I've never been and my husband is not a
beer guy. He's allergic to malt and hops, so that's
pretty much beer, so he can't drink it, you know.
So I don't know. We shall see, we shall see.
So I might be there next week. We're trying to
work that out. Maybe maybe not. But nonetheless, we have
some tickets to the Great American Beer Fest to give away,

(08:20):
so that's coming up later in the show.

Speaker 5 (08:23):
This week.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
I feel like we've done a ton of really hard politics,
partly because of the vice presidential debate, partly because of
the Tina Peters situation, and by the way, holy schnikes.
So I posted some things about Tina Peters on my
Twitter feed at x dot com, i x feed whatever
you call it, at Mandy Connell, and the people coming

(08:47):
out of the woodworks to defend Tina Peters are really
illuminating in the sense that the willingness to look past
some pretty glaring problems with everything that Tina Peters has

(09:08):
done is really kind of astounding.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
You know.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
A guy took to my Twitter responses and said something
to the effect of, you know, yeah, all the machines
are all rigged, and so I asked him the following
question I said, well, then why was the handcount the
same as the machine count. If the machines were rigged
and the machines changed the votes, why did the ballots
that went into the machines show the same number as

(09:34):
the machines. And and he just came back with something
totally unrelated and just skipped right over that. And it's
it sucks when someone pokes a hole in your belief system.
It's uncomfortable, it really is. And this is something that
I challenge myself to do all the time, right, Uh,
I challenge myself to do this all the time because

(09:56):
I think it's important. I don't think that you can.
You can, truly, It's okay, let me think of how
to say this. I think in order to truly be
certain of your opinions, you have to be able to
defend them vigorously. And occasionally, when having a discussion or
a disagreement with someone who is on the other side

(10:17):
of an issue from you, occasionally they will say something
that can pierce your armor. And it's been settling at first,
but if you really think about it, maybe they have
a point. Maybe they are looking at something in a
way that can be explained in a different way. There's
a lot of different but that initial like, hey, you've
punctured my armor is not a comfortable place to be.

(10:37):
And that's why people change the subject, right, That's why
people move the goalpost. Nobody wants to say I could
be wrong, but we're all none of us are infallible.
I mean, good gravy. I look at some of the
people I've dated, and I know my decision making is suspect.
So it's like, you just do the best you can.

(10:57):
But I get where they're coming from. But man, you
got they're so completely delusional. I just just wildly delusional.
If I were Tina Peters and I was truly had
this evidence that she talks about, I mean I would
put everything on the internet and let the Internet rip
it to shreds because once it's ripped to shreds, then

(11:19):
if it's solid, then you can say, look, people try
to rip it to shreds, but it's solid. But that's
what we just keep hearing. It's like Sidney Powell relief.
Oh I'm gonna release the Kraken. There was no kracking.
She was full of kracking and she's now admitted it.
But there's still people who believe it, even though the
person who said it has said there was no there there.

(11:42):
I just I find that I don't part of me
envies that level of faith. Like I have a very
very strong belief in God. My faith in God is unshakable,
but my faith in everything else is suspect and up
for grabs. And I just I don't understand how people
can look at what happened. Listen to the judge yesterday.

(12:05):
Absolutely take Tina Peters out in an accurate fashion, one
hundred percent accurate. I believe everything he said is accurate.
I don't give a crap who the judge donated to.
She broke the law, and a Texter just said Tina
broke the law. But nine years is extreme, you guys.
I agree, I really, I honestly do. But she did

(12:29):
not show any remorse in her sentencing hearing. I watched
it yesterday. At one point she said, people keep saying
I don't have remorse, but I do. But when you
say I'm sorry, but anything you said before, that doesn't matter.
It's just gone right. It means nothing. She showed no

(12:49):
remorse yesterday. If she'd come into the court room and said, Judge,
you know I'm I really thought I did the right thing,
but I've realized now that I was so wrong and
what I did was wrong, and I should have followed
the rules. And I can't believe that I went this
way and didn't do it the right way. There's no
way she would have gotten eight years, nine years, no way.

(13:10):
I just don't believe that. But she didn't. She stood
outside the courthouse with cameras talking about her innocence. You guys,
I mean, come on, it's just nuts, absolutely nuts. Can
we get the free TEENA movement started? Sure, sure, yeah, yeah.

(13:34):
How can all this insanity happen in a world where
a little old lady still makes fresh make goodies for
the Maleman? I mean, I've never made fresh make goodies
for a Maleman. I'm not sure there. And to the
person who said allergic to beer, get a real man, Mandy,
trust me, he doesn't need beer to be manly. It
just means his breath doesn't stink while he's being a man. Anyway,

(13:59):
A Mandy, it would be fun, It would be fun.
Oh wait, okay, crap, this is just updated Mandy. It
would be fun for a wine know nothing like me
to taste the wine that wine people taste great as
well as one they say is terrible. Of course, they
would need to be the same variety. That's actually a
good idea. Text he send me a text, and I'm
going to ask you not to text, send me an email,

(14:20):
and I'm going to ask you when you email me
to tell me what your phone number is so nobody
can fake it. But if you want to come be
that person not today, send me an email at Mandy
Connell at iHeartMedia dot com and we'll make that happen.
That's a really good idea. We kind of do that
with a Rod though, although his wine palette is becoming
far more developed and mature. Mandy, she's only sorry that

(14:44):
she got caught yep yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Anyway,
it is also when ask me anything kind of day.
We've had a lot of politics this week, so if
you want to talk about something dumber, we've got that.
So this morning, Cooper, have you been following this Diddy story?

(15:04):
Have you been following this at all too much? I've
been kind of like breezing past it because I don't
care that much, right, I really don't. That being said,
so this morning, I see a story that caught my
eye and I started, I got down the rabbit hole.
Holy crap, this guy is the most prolific serial rapist

(15:25):
in the history of cerial rapist. It's starting to look
like allegedly. And the worst part about this story is
that all of these Hollywood people knew. They all knew.
Maybe they didn't know the depths to which the depravity
was going, but they all knew that he was having
these insane like sex party things where he was I mean,

(15:49):
they all knew this stuff. And if there's any justice,
all those names will come out. But as we learn
from Jeffrey Epstein, those names never come out right. They're
so well protected. My prediction is there will be a
good decent number of B list celebrities who get outed,
but nobody a list is going to have a problem
with this. It's just the people that don't have enough

(16:10):
juice in Hollywood to defend themselves and keep their name
out of it. This thing is bad, I mean just
really really bad. And some of the things. One of
the story, the story that caught my eye, and I
didn't put it on the blog because I was just
kind of horrified by it. But I'm gonna tell it anyway.
A six year old who is now thirty was reminiscing

(16:32):
about being at a at a ditty party when he
was six years old and there are naked women in
the pool and people doing drugs like all over the place,
and his parents didn't leave, Like what the what kind
of parents are you that you bring a child? And

(16:52):
I am sorry, Like when we have parties, we specifically
specify these are not for kids. You don't want your
kids at a party where everybody is drinking, period, Like
that's a choice I make for my house. You can
do whatever you want at your own house. And everybody
knew and the stuff. They set up a hotline and

(17:13):
you know that some of these are fake because people
are just trying to cash in. But they had twelve
thousand phone calls in twenty four hours of people saying
that they knew something or had something or had been
victimize at one of these parties.

Speaker 6 (17:25):
This is going to be.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
This is insane, I mean it is. It just shows
how disgustingly corrupt and evil Hollywood is and how willing
people who want to be famous are willing to go
to help that happen. And you know hang around these people.
And I'm talking about everybody Donald Trump has been at

(17:50):
these parties. I mean tons of people have been at
these parties. Now I'm not saying everybody knew, but enough
people knew. And apparently he has video with like a
list celebrities having sex with hookers he provided, So this
story is absolutely nuts.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Just just ugh.

Speaker 4 (18:12):
Anyway, anyway, Okay, I'm gonna come back. I already got
some questions. Joe Biden surveyed storm damage yesterday, but that
was news to him when he got back to the
White House. And I'm gonna give the Mayor's office a
little bit of credit when we get back. Yes, you
heard that right, Just a little bit of credit for
the mayor when we get back. Well, how do you
know Trump was in at ditty party? Well, I saw

(18:33):
a photograph and I initially saw the photograph on social
media and it was labeled Trump at a white party.
But when I just looked to find a better source
rather than social media, it was not Trump at a
white party, so he was not there. And then I
can't find any record on the news anywhere else did
he ever went to one of those parties? So thank
you Texter for forcing me to check myself, and that's

(18:57):
good to know. That actually makes me really happy. Now,
if he ever was at a party, I don't know,
but I did find all of these other stories about
the people that were at these parties. In nineteen ninety nine,
a piece by Chris Harris in The New York Post
presented a first hand narrative. He said, never once was
I questioned that evening he flirted with Carmen Electra, got

(19:18):
a contact high from hanging out with Jay Z and
Buster Rhymes. Betsy Johnson squeezed my cheeks like an annoying aunt.
Diddy was ever present, Russell Simmons, Evanka Trump, comedian Bill Bellamy,
actor Tyser Beckford, and Baywatch stars Krmen, Electra and Elisa Bridges.
Now here's the thing I should have been clearer about.

(19:39):
I don't know which of these people knew what was
going on, but based on the stories that I read today,
more people than not knew something was up. And man,
just man. So that is that. Now, let me get
some of these ask me anything questions, because some of
them are actually very interesting. Mandy, uh bum bum bum

(20:05):
you do that?

Speaker 3 (20:07):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (20:08):
What is your favorite vacation spot and worst vacation spot. Now,
I'm just gonna say this, you should not have a
worst vacation spot. You should be able to if you're
on vacation. There's got to be an upside, right. If
the weather sucks, that shouldn't ding the vacation spot. My
favorite vacation spot remains Losan, Switzerland. I loved Switzerland just

(20:29):
so much. But I got to tell you, a French
Polynesian pretty dope. If you want to just go sit
on a beach. I cannot recommend Bora Bora highly enough.
It really depends on what you want to do. But
I've been a lot to her. I'm super excited about
going to Japan and South Korea. I've never spent any
real time in Asia, so I'm stoked about that, looking

(20:50):
forward to see seeing how I enjoy that. I just
like going places, you guys. I like going new places.
I find something to love about pretty much everywhere I
have been. Now, there are places i've been that I'm like, okay,
check I've done that. I'm probably not going to go back.
Norway is in that camp. I'm super glad I went.
It is stunning, absolutely stunning, but I'm not going to

(21:12):
go back. There not going to go back to Zurich, Switzerland?
Is there any place you've been, Cooper that you wouldn't
go back to, just like and not that it was bad,
but it's like, Okay, I checked that off my but my,
you know my list of places to go to.

Speaker 7 (21:24):
Well, this past summer we went to Paris, London, and Zurich,
and I would say of the three, Zurich would be
my least favorite.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
We enjoyed it, like I loved it, but there's no
reason for me to go back.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
You know.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
I did everything that I wanted to do in Zurich
and it's really just a nice city. And there's not
anything super spectacular about Zurich. But Lozan, I absolutely loved
in Switzerland. It's in the French part of Switzerland. I
probably didn't answer as well as you would have wanted to.
Loved Costa Rica, really loved Costa Rica. There's a lot

(21:57):
of places in America that I love too. Dang it,
maybe I'll do a blog post about that. Mandy. Do
you think the ballot question in Denver about the slaughterhouse
will pass or fail? Hope it fails. Tired of Pete
trying to push their agenda, I'd love to tell you
I think it's going to fail, but I would not
put it past the voters in Denver to put people

(22:19):
out of work on a nonsensical thing that is designed
to get us to eat. Oh wait a minute, I've
got to do a story from the blog because you
just reminded me of something. The whole endgame of the
slaughterhouse ban is so meat will be so expensive that
we will stop eating it. That is the endgame of
the slaughterhouse ban. And today I have this thing on
the blog. I don't know if you guys heard or
read the book The Blue Zones. The Blue Zones was

(22:42):
a book written by this guy who looked at all
these statistics and failed these regions of the world where
people lived extraordinarily long lives, right, And he surmised that
all of these places that he had found, all of
these people living these incredibly long lives, they were all
eating a primarily vegetarian diet. So the big takeaway was,

(23:05):
if you want to live a really long life, well
then you have to eat a vegetarian diet. Will lo
and behold, Oh did I not put this on the blog?
Oh my god, I can't believe I didn't put this
on the blog. I'll go back and find it. So
another researcher decides to dig into the blue zones and
find out how these people are living a super long life.

(23:25):
And this guy's saying that there are people who are
one hundred and fifty years old. Come to find out,
Researcher number one never went to any of these regions.
Researcher too was like, you know, a lot of these
places are kind of Third world countries. They're not wealthy areas,
and there's a lot of people living in grinding poverty,

(23:46):
and we know that poverty and longevity do not normally
go together. So he starts digging in. Come to find out,
this guy just looked at the statistics in town, right
birth and death, that kind of thing. A lot of
the people that he claimed to be living these extraordinarily
long lives had been dead for years, but their family

(24:08):
members didn't report them dead so they could continue collecting
government benefits. And I think that is absolutely hilarious. So
all of these people that raced out about the Blue zone,
they're gonna do the Blue Zone diet. They're gonna eat
the Blue zone weight, because the Blue Zone is gonna
help them live to one hundred and fifty. No, not
unless your family is willing to commit fraud. I'll find

(24:31):
that article. I will get it on the blog. It
was so absolutely ugh so perfect somehow so perfect Mandy's
serious question but also a great time wasting question. Love those.
What is the best product for cleaning the inside of
your windshield? I've been using regular wind dex and it
leaves a film on the windshield that you can see

(24:52):
the white marks when the windshield fogs up when it's
cold outside. What do you and your listeners recommend that?
From Tom in Lovelin over, what do you clean the
inside of your windshield with? I don't you just leave
it dirty? Like some kind of heathen can see through it?
Just all you know, just jacked up. I didn't get dirty.
Oh my gosh, it's got dust, probably a spit on

(25:14):
it from you singing along to your rap tunes to
sing along to. I just use regular windecks, but I
keep wiping and wiping and wiping and wiping until I'm
streaked free. Or you could use vinegar and water to
wash your windows. That should your wife's naturalist on that.

(25:36):
On that respect, it works really good and it's super cheap.
I mean, that's the thing. Vinegar can clean a lot
of stuff. I wonder we'll see if anybody else can
text us on the common Spirit health text line five
six to six. And I know what do you clean
your windows with? Mandy? A relative mentioned the Secretary of
State was going to wipe out the voting records after
three months rather than much later, and that was why

(25:56):
she was defending Tina Peters. Do you know what the
state rule is on this?

Speaker 1 (26:02):
No?

Speaker 4 (26:02):
And honestly I don't care. I'm just Tina has been convicted.
She had the opportunity to mount her defense and she
did not get she didn't want it. There you go.
Mandy is a strong conservative woman. Did you ever like
Liz Cheney before she turned on Trump? Just wondering if
you saw her speech yesterday, because she's so much more

(26:23):
eloquent in making the argument against Trump than I am.
I really liked her back when she was a Republican
in a pre Trump world and had huge respect for
her basically giving up everything in her career for her principles.
When she took a stand. I said on the air
that I admired Liz Cheney's principled stand I don't know
if she's motivated solely by principle, though I think that

(26:48):
I think that her dad, who I know, hates Donald J. Trump.
You know, when there's such a personal loathing, I think
sometimes it can color your judgment. But I admire her
sticking by her principles and basically sacrificing her entire political
career because of it. But if she's not going to
become a Democrat, I don't respect her. I don't respect

(27:10):
anyone of an announced political party supporting someone in the
other political party. I don't respect you. Change your party affiliation,
at least leave the party you say you're a part of.
And she might have. Is she an independent? I'll find
out on this break I have. I don't even I
can't even count high enough how many text messages about

(27:33):
the best way to clean the inside of your windshield.
So here's what I thought I would do. First of all,
I posted the same question on our Facebook page, Kawa's
facebook page, because I cannot possibly read all of these,
and I had absolutely no idea that there were so
many different ways to clean your windshield. And I'm just

(27:54):
gonna whip through the I'm gonna whip through some of these. Okay,
you ready, here we go. Listeners would questions on how
to clean your windshield use a magic eraser on the
inside of your windshield. That is, several people said magic
racer invisible glass or sprayweight glass cleaner you can get
at Costco doesn't streak. Use newspaper instead of rags or

(28:14):
paper towels to clean your windshield. Regular window cleaner will
not streak. Who has newspapers anymore? And I'm being genuine, Like,
when I go to start a fire in the middle
of winter, I go buy four copies of the Wall
Street Journal, like a Sunday edition, you know, and then
that'll keep me going for like half the year. But
I don't have a newspaper in my house otherwise. Uhmandy, Oh,

(28:36):
I like this one, Hi baby, I love your show.
It literally says, hi baby, I love your show. Regarding
the longevity people, I was just in Costa Rica in
the town of Nakoya, and it's just a regular type
little town. I know roche. I know roche people who
are living to be one hundred and fifty years old
on the dole or oh are also voting Democrat. You

(28:58):
gotta got a little dodgy right there with the rest
of that baby. There are dozens of videos on YouTube
about how to clean your windshield. But then what would
we talk about for the next four minutes? Text her
invisible glass makes a lot of appearances. Spray away over
and over again, water with a few drops of dish soap,

(29:18):
microfiber towel, not paper towels. Mandy used newspaper instead of
paper towels. That seems to be a theme. Any glass
cleaner or vinegar and water trick is dry it with newspaper.
So that's that's pretty much what we're gonna they have. Also,
apparently there are little microfiber little things on a stick
where you just use water. Several people mention that no

(29:39):
clue that there were so many ways to clean your
your windshield there. Okay, hang on, let me go back
to here. Try that again one more time. Uh to
the person who said hawk two on that thing, well played,
well played. I'm not gonna explain that if you don't know,
I'm not going to tell you what that is at all.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
Um.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
What does Mandy think about the Garth Brooks rape allegations?
By the way, saw a lot of good things about
iHeart doing God's work in hurricane areas, keeping folks informed.
We As a matter of fact, John Morrissey just did
a special for our stations in North Carolina. Are Ashville
stations I believe have been on the air the entire time,
like staffed non stop, twenty four hours a day, because

(30:25):
they're pretty much the only thing that you have when
you're in that situation after a storm. Your battery powered
radio is your connection to life. That is it, So
very very proud of the work that I heard is
doing over there, Mandy, where's I can't find the text
that I was looking for now dag nabit Mandy, ask

(30:46):
me anything. Why does the radio I'm listening to always
announce or try to turn Alexa on? I'm already listening
to your radio stations. Why do you want to turn
on my device? Or is it just for the clicks
or just because you are so annoying? Plus you turn
her on, I turn you off. We don't do that
on purpose. It is to me kind of entertaining. Kind
of entertaining, this person said Venice Glad. I went, but

(31:08):
don't need to return.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (31:11):
We and Ola Gala are about to get a new
slaughterhouse outside of town, and supposedly they're going to be
supplying our local Walmart. I would imagine that would be
a good thing. You got some jobs coming in there.
Have you met someone who supports Kamala for Kamala, not
a Democrat for life for Trumpeter? No, I have not
at all. So yeah, let's see. There's high baby. So

(31:32):
we're in the right location. Now we're gonna get back
up here. There's so many texts have come in about
cleaning the windshield that I what does Mandy or her
listeners think of starlink after the tragedy in North Carolina.
We're thinking about getting it just so we have a
backup internet. I've got to tell you, I'm thinking the
same thing because uh, starlink has proven itself. So there

(31:53):
you go. The Blue Zone article is on the blog.
I'm reading it now. Okay, never mind, then it is
on the blog where he was the one that I'm
looking for. This is why Democrats always win. They live
by the rule that we will do whatever we need
to do to win. The Republicans just don't know how
to have no scruples at all. Well, that's one of
them that you can that's possibly. I'm not saying it's accurate.

(32:14):
I'm just not saying it's not. Here's a discussion question
for the audience. Would you put a political sign in
your front yard? If you answered yes, who do you
support for president? I ask, because I only see Harris
signs now. It could definitely be because no one supports Trump,
although I doubt that. I think it's because Trump voters
are reluctant out of fear of retribution from the other side,

(32:35):
something I would never consider or support. Isn't it sad
that a group of voters fear the others in this scenario.
It's also the same reason that people don't say to
pollsters that they're voting for Trump, because when you're looking
at an election, when you're voting for someone that you
don't want to vote for, but the alternative is so

(32:55):
much worse that you have to vote for someone you
don't want to vote for, you don't want to talk
about it. Koa.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
accident and injury lawyers.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
No, it's Mandy Connell and Donna.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Koam got.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
Stay and the nicety's through rad Andy Connell.

Speaker 4 (33:25):
Key thing no sad thing. Welcome oncome, welcome to the
second hour of the show it is and ask me
anything kind to day, and you guys are delivering. By
the way, I will do a quick check here to
see if the people are responding on our Facebook page
the same way that you guys responded on the text
line about how to properly clean the inside of your windshield.

(33:48):
So if you have that answer, you can go to
Koa's Facebook page and please because now people are like Mandy,
You've got to post all of those answers. You guys
don't understand. I got like one hundred, one hundred of them,
and no powerwasher is not the correct answer. Stop it.
Stop it right now. Already people are answering on the

(34:10):
KOA Colorado page, So there you go. I de have
a bunch of really good questions and I want to ask,
but I'm going to kind of start with ones that
are coming in based on the last segment. Oga laala,
thank you for the texter og Lala oga lala, oh
go lala. Anyway, somebody asked are you putting up yard signs?
A lot of people responded to that, I'm so scared

(34:31):
to put up a sign for Trump surrounded by Harris
signs in my neighborhood, especially the annoying prosecutor versus the
fell In sign ug. I did see a funny t
shirt on TikTok that said, I'm voting for the outlaw
and the hillbilly. There you go, Mandy. I'm the listener
who only sees Harris Walls signs in their yard. Wants
to see Trump signs flags, they should go to a

(34:53):
small town outside Denver Metro and they will see a lot. Ooh,
this one's good. First rule of vote for Trump club
is don't talk about vote for Trump club, Mandy. There
are Trump signs in my neighborhood and Harris signs. So far,
no one is messing with either of them, at least
on my daily commute. I live close to South Broadway

(35:14):
in Englewood, Mandy. I would never steal anybody's political signs. However,
I really want to exchange the I believe signs to
something else. Mandy. It's the opposite here in Ohio. Ten
Trump yard signs and bumper stickers for every Harris and
no won't put up Trump's support because there are too
many people suffering from TDS. And I like my stuff

(35:36):
too much. That's bad New Well, Ohio is not really
a swing state like it used to be. They're kind
of like us, only the other direction, you know, Mandy,
I guarantee you these animal rights people in support of
the furban are pro abortion. That is likely to be true.
That is likely to be true. Mandy just heard the

(35:57):
news talking about the slaughterhouse vote. Peta wants to to
treat all animals equally. I guess they didn't read Animal
Farm Don't Ever Trust the Pigs. Great reference to a
great book, Texter, very highbrow text, right there, Mandy. If
you need paper, I work at a print shop. We
recycle lots of eight and a half rolls that have
twenty inches left. I donate some to the preschools. Hey,

(36:19):
that's kind of cool.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (36:22):
So just to clean the inchside of my windshield? Is
that what you're talking about, Dave? Let me know about
that now. I have a bunch of text messages that
came in previously, and a lot of you were talking
about places that you've been to that you would never
go to again. This person says, I took a cruise
to Bermuda at the beginning of the year and then
the cruise was fine, but Bermuda sucked. I used to

(36:45):
have to do a trip that flew into Bermuda and
then laid over there for like nine hours during the day,
and then we flew back at night. So we would
all just go to a really nice hotel and have
an extremely extremely expensive lunch. But that was all the
time I ever spent in Bermuda. This person said, Stonehenge
might have been the biggest waste of time ever. It
just takes so long to get there, so long to

(37:08):
get there. Went to Amsterdam, no desire to go back.
Very cool, but nor desire to go again. Amsterdam is
an experience. I've been there a couple of times, Mandy,
I wouldn't go back to the DMZ in Korea. Was
there six months in seventy seven, seventy six trail runner. Yeah,
I would imagine that that you wouldn't want to necessarily
go back, and I'm guessing that was work. Here's an

(37:29):
interesting question, and Coover you might know the answer to this.
I kind of I think I know what happened. Whatever
happened to Brett Favre after he got caught scamming the
government for COVID money, now, last I heard, he had
paid back some money for something, but he hadn't paid
back enough. So the state of Mississippi is suing him

(37:49):
right now. I think that's the last I heard. Do
you know anything about that story? Not really, I haven't
really followed it that closely.

Speaker 7 (37:58):
I do know that he I believe as Parkinson's that
he admitted, Yeah, in testimony.

Speaker 4 (38:03):
Well, he was talking about the fact that he lost
he lost a big investment in this drug company that
he thought was making drugs to mitigate you know. He
hits to the head and he said, but it's you know,
too late for me. I have Parkinson's disease. I was like, dude,
that sucks, but like, I'm not sure I would. I've
thrown out the sympathy card right there. If you are
defrauding medicaid, you know what I mean? And I don't

(38:27):
know if I don't, I don't know enough of what's happened.
I know it's still ongoing, but I don't think there's
any criminal charges he's facing. We would have heard about that,
so I'm not sure what's going on there. I have
no idea, So I wish I could give you more
better information. Mandy if you could pick the candidates for
a ticket in twenty twenty four, who would they be.

(38:48):
I'm going to throw that back to the audience. Let's
just say that Donald Trump was not the candidate right
now at this moment. If you could wave a magic
wand and if you think that the current ticket is
the ticket to go with, you can say that, I'm
fine with that, But who would you like to see?
And then I'll tell you who I'd like to see?
Who my dream ticket at this moment in time would
be right this second. We'll do that. You can text

(39:08):
us at five six six nine, Oh, Mandy putting up
local election signs, but folks near Old Town, Nevada are
stealing Trump signs. Not that surprising, Not that surprising. I'd
go back to Blarney Castle. I've never done that. Kiss
the Blarney Stone thing kind of germophobic. Do you really
want to put your face right where everybody else just

(39:29):
put their face? I don't know. I don't know, Mandy.
Do you know if the Nuggets and or the NBA
helped out the police officer that lost his leg during
the parade? Do you know that anything about that?

Speaker 1 (39:40):
I do not.

Speaker 4 (39:41):
They should I mean I'm not telling them how to
live their life, but that would be a great pr move.
I'm just saying, like, here's some scholarships for your kids.
Kind of thing would be good. Mandy, I saw a
shirt that said for Halloween, I was going to be
a liberal, but I couldn't fit my head up my
you nowhere, but they didn't say, you know where? Mandy

(40:07):
two thousand, I put a bush sign in my yard,
got a brick through my window. No more political signs
for me. And that's exactly how it happens. And I
don't blame you, but that's exactly how it happens. I
do have a wu Tang for Forever sign that looks
like a political sign. Might throw that out this week.
I don't know. Maybe a Mandy a friend wore his

(40:30):
Wait a minute, oh jeez, just updated. Mandy a friend
wore his Trump hat to Boulder and got a date.
What That's amazing. But I'm guessing if there's any conservative
women in Boulder they see they see a prime target,
they're they're gonna jump on that. Because the pickens for
conservative men has to be pretty slim and Boulder that

(40:53):
might be a way to pick up chicks. And Boulder.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (40:55):
Lots of military jets flying from the Springs to Denver
right now, out of the ordinary. Not is out of
the ordinary as you would think. They do training flights
all the time, you know how, I know my house
is in the path of the training flights all the time,
all the time. To the person who asked about my
Cuba care, I'm not going to answer that question, Mandy,

(41:17):
how would your life be different if you had never
met or married Chuck? I could not even imagine. It
could be different in incredible and amazing ways, and it
could be different in empty and horrible and sad ways.
I know that I would not have the daughter that
I have because she's half him, half me, and she's
pretty amazing. So I don't like to consider that because

(41:39):
that's a terrible thing to even consider. And I don't
like that. Oh geez, And I forgot to answer the
question what do I think of the Garth brook News.
If you haven't heard this, I have it on the
blog today. Garth Brooks, who has always struck me as
kind of one of the good guys. Right the fact
that he retired at the pinnacle of his career because
he missed his kids, And that's an oversimplified way of

(42:01):
saying he missed his daughter's young childhood and realized that
he was going to miss at all if he didn't
stop doing what he was doing, which was non stop touring,
and so he just retired from music to go home.
And even after he and his wife split, I know
way too much about Garth Brooks. I just watched a

(42:22):
documentary series on him. Even after they split up, they
bought houses. They still have houses on the same property,
and the kids literally went back and forth every single
day between the two houses because they were right there.
That's how important it was to Garth Brooks to raise
his kids. And now he's been accused of raping a
woman who first started out as Trisha Yearwood's hairdresser and

(42:45):
then became Garth's hairdresser. And she says that he raped
her in a hotel room when they went to an event,
and he categorically denies all of it and said they
actually filed a suit under pseudonyms against her because he
says she's been trying to shake him down for money.
Now I have no idea what's true or not. I

(43:05):
really don't. The fact that it's a long time employee.
It could be that this longtime employee is bitterer about
not being an employee anymore or whatever. Garth Brooks has
said she wanted to be made a full time employee
and given benefits and all of those things instead of
just getting paid by the job, and he said no.
So I don't know what to think, but it made

(43:26):
me really sad. First of all, it may be sad
if it's true, obviously, because you think he's one of
the good guys and then you find out not at all.
But if it's not true, I'm really sad because this
is going to be attached to his name for the
rest of his life, and someday when he dies, they're
gonna say one of the best selling artists. If he's
still right now, he's the best selling artist of all time,

(43:49):
all time. I think I should check that, but almost
I'm almost positive. And then it's gonna say who was
accused of rape and then whatever the disposition was, And
that's really sad. Thing just made me really bummed out,
completely and totally bummed out. Okay, dream tickets, you guys,
let me give you some of the ones that the

(44:09):
listeners have texted in five six six nine zero is
the way to text in Trump and RFK. No, No,
rfk's too crazy, you guys. And this whole thing with
Olivia Nizza whatever whatever? What is her Nizza? What's her
last name? Olivia something? Where Apparently she and RIFK were

(44:30):
sexting back and forth. She's got daddy issues.

Speaker 3 (44:33):
That one.

Speaker 4 (44:34):
All of the men she's dated are significantly older than
she is. That is daddy issues. I don't care who
you are. Mandy dream ticket would be Ronnie d and
Tulci g ron DeSantis and Tulci Gabbard. Oh to the
person who said Conna Kaminski twenty twenty four, thanks for
putting me at the top of the ticket. Nikki Ailey, Yes,

(44:55):
how about it? Jesse Jesse Ventura, Mandy Connell ticket, I
don't know who. Oh, that would be kind of crazy.
Elon Musk for President, Larry Ellison for Vice president. Fire
the top five percent of every department and administration. Senators
get one term, congressman get max three terms. With some humor,
talk show hosts can only serve With some humor, talk

(45:19):
show hosts can only serve in their job for three years.
But I would miss you terribly.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 4 (45:26):
The government doesn't get decide how long I keep this job.
You people do, and you know, honestly, you people do. JD.
Vance and Byron Donald's twenty twenty four. Like that, Mandy,
My ticket would be Ben Carson for president with JD
Vance as the vice president. I have never been as
impressed with Ben Carson as everybody else has. JD. Vance
Byron Donald's twenty twenty eight. That would be a good

(45:48):
twenty twenty eight ticket. Air Force Navy Games tomorrow might
have something to do with the increase in military flights. Probably, Actually,
that's a great point, Mandy. Jamal Murray went to visit
that officer in the hospital early on. Not sure what
else he's gotten, but I'm sure he's been well taken
care of. Well, that's just what we're asking Mandy Voting
Meteor twenty twenty four. I get it. I get it,

(46:09):
totally get it. Yeah. Now a bunch of people are
saying the Air Force Navy game is the reason that
we're getting the flyovers. My favorite ticket now or in
twenty twenty eight, DeSantis Haley, I'm writing into Santas this
time as a protest against the Republican Party for sticking
us with Trump. My dream ticket right this second would
be Haley DeSantis in this election cycle because they would

(46:31):
absolutely crush the two yahoos on the other side, and
I would love to vote for both of them. And
I put Nicki Haley above her on DeSantis for two reasons.
One she'd be running against Kamala Harris and two she
has experienced with international relations as the Secretary or the
ambassador of the UN. And I think right now at
this moment, to have someone who truly understands the inner

(46:53):
workings of the United Nations would be critically important and
would put her head and shoulders above her competitors again,
and just on that front alone. And Ron DeSantis is
younger than she is, so he would he has a
longer lifespan in politics realistically, I'm gonna tell you guys,
and I wonder if anybody else thinks this. The age

(47:15):
of the issue of age has now been talked about
on both sides right when when it was Joe Biden.
Clearly Joe Biden is suffering some serious cognitive decline and
if you look at the Drudge Report, which I do
on occasion, they are really pushing the notion that somehow
Trump is Joe Biden, you know, mentally, And I don't

(47:42):
think we're ever gonna have candidates this old again. I
just don't see it happening. I really don't, because we've
now we're done with it. Now we have the younger generations.
By the way, we're gonna skip over right over a
gen X president because really that's just on brand for
gen X, and we're gonna go right to the millennial president, right.
I mean, that's going to happen at some point, But

(48:04):
I just don't see us having another old person at
the top of the ticket. I don't see another Republican
that is going to inspire the kind of slavish devotion
that Donald Trump is inspired, unless the Democratic Party decides
to aggressively attack any Republican candidate the way they've attacked
Donald Trump, in which case you could probably get a

(48:24):
ham sandwich up there that is going to be attacked
and people are going to vote for it because it's
just not right. What's happening, Mandy? Do you listen to
the personalities that fill in for you while you're gone,
and do you ever listen to your own show? Later
on the podcast, genuinely curious. The answer is no and no,
and not because I don't like the people that fill
in for us, because I usually hear them when they

(48:46):
fill in for Ross, right, I mean, our stable of
fill ins that we have are are pretty consistent, so
I enjoy listening to them when they fill in for Ross.
But when I am not working, I am not working.
I am not looking at the news, I am not
looking at Twitter, I am not looking at anything. I'm
not listening to anything. I'm not watching in the news.
I am taking a full on break because I finally

(49:08):
learned years ago that when you get back from a
vacation like that, it's the same crap that was there
when you left. You didn't miss anything, not a thing.
So yeah, But like I said, I enjoy listening to
the fill ins. I love it when Ryan fills in
for Ross. I love it when Jimmy fills in for Ross.
I love it when christophiels. I just like it because

(49:29):
I like hearing different people. But I don't listen when
I'm not working. When I'm when I'm off, when I'm off,
I'm off. Sorry. Ron DeSantis and Nicky Haley as a
ticket yep, my favorite ticket. Oh I already read that one. Oh.
P Diddy and R Kelly haha, smarty pants ha ha ha,

(49:50):
you're funny, Mandy. Josh Holly and you you know, I've
never met Josh Holly, so he might be a little
slow on the on the you know, taking that up.
I wonder if he's gon or ever run for president.
You know, I look at the political spectrum and I
think which of these people? And I think all of them.
When you become a member of the Senate, you have
to sort of have that some in the back of

(50:13):
your mind, right like if asked to run, what would
I do? And Josh haul is young, and I don't
know if he has that kind of aspiration or maybe
he has the wherewithal to recognize that a campaign is
not for him like that. I don't know, missus Haley.
What could have been will never be. Sadness that from

(50:34):
a texture, Mandy, no one over the age of sixty
one should be president. That way, we will not have
a sitting president over seventy. Now here's the thing about
putting an age on it. Because I realized this yesterday
and let me just have a little hombo brag moment
for a second, what of our wonderful sales team. Yesterday
we were found ourselves walking out of the third floor
elevators at the same time, and we were talking and

(50:54):
I made some comment about getting old, and he goes, oh,
you're not as old as I am. I said, how
old are you? He said fifty two? And I was like, huh,
I'm fifty five, and I'm cool fifty five. And I
thought about it, like when I was a kid, a
woman my age would be wearing like sensible dresses. They
probably didn't dye their hair, say they were going gray,

(51:17):
and they had kind of given up. And now you
look around and women into their fifties and their sixties
look fantastic and they're taking care of themselves. And sixty
one is getting younger and younger and younger. Seventy is
getting younger and younger and younger. It's not that I
don't think people that are seventy can't do the job.

(51:40):
I'm saying that these last two I think Joe Biden
and Donald Trump have pretty much ruined it for anybody older.
It's going to be younger people. Nobody wants to have
the folks who aren't going to have to live with
the consequences of their actions to run the country anymore.
All right, back to this DeSantis Tolci Gabbard twenty twenty
eight or jd Vance DeSantis. There you go, the Veke

(52:02):
and Tulsi again. I am still not sold on Vivek,
you guys, I'm gonna have to let him. He's gonna
have the season for a couple of years before I
believe that he truly is kind of like stuck on
the conservatism thing. Mandy, Sarah Huckabee and JD. Vance. That's
an interesting combination, very interesting Mandy, Ted Nugent and Tom Selleck. Yes,

(52:26):
they have my vote. Tulsi and Greg Abbott. You know,
I think Texas is a hard push at this point.
People have a negative view of Texas because they believe
in freedom and stuff. Sad but true, sad but true. Mandy.
Isn't it funny how Gavin Newsom is so quiet nowadays

(52:49):
in his support of Harris. I'm sure it's because he
wants to stick his head into the race for four
years from now. One hundred percent my dream candidates, if
we could go back in time, I'd pick Abraham Lincoln,
John F. Kennedy. Otherwise, I'll vote for Flow and the
Geico cave Man. There you go. Not sure if the
four episode Blue Zones on Netflix is the same author

(53:09):
as you were mentioning. But this guy actually travels to Okinawa, Sardinia,
Costa Rica, Low Melinda, California, and a Greek island and
he actually interviews people in their nineties and one hundreds,
and I personally did not find it vegan centric, although
many of the folks are vegetarians. I don't know if
that was the same guy that did the miniseries, that
did the research. Mandy can CNN or ms DNC block

(53:34):
or not accept ads from right wing packs or Trump.
That's where the ads need to run. Know the laws
about I'll explain it when we get back. But there's
so many laws about the stuff we have to take,
so I'll explain. I'll explain right for this. A lot
of people talking about Byron Donaldson of Florida. Somebody said
Ran Paul Byron Donaldson, You guys, I adore Ran Paul.

(53:55):
I love him, but he has not got the forceful
personality that is required to run for president. He has
demonstrated that a couple of times now, and I love
what he's doing in the Senate. I'm fine with him
being there. My dream ticket, Simone Biles and Chris Christie, respectfully,
William Taft number twenty seven. Just I don't know why

(54:17):
that made me laugh really hard, but it did. So
there you go, after all the recent nonsense, how refreshing,
what a good old fashioned governor v governor debate b
to Santas Gabbard versus Newsom and any other Lib progressive senator.
That from Matt And this person said, Hi, Mandy, I'm
fifty six and headed a flight attendant training with one

(54:38):
of the Big Three. What's your advice from you? I
would tell you this. It is you're going to be
learning like stuff through a fire hose that you never
thought about before. But what a what a fun career?
Just a fun It's a fun career. It's also can
be very stressful. And I'm interested to see Texter, and

(54:58):
I hope you text me back after you go through training.
Like we did so little on security when I was
in flight attendant training back in nineteen ninety one, and
I think now it's got to be a lot more
about security than it was before, because back then it
was like, hey, if you get hijacked. Just don't make
eye contact and they'll land the plane somewhere and then

(55:20):
you get to come home, which obviously turned out not
to be true on nine to eleven. So there you go.
Good luck to you, Texter, and I'm excited for you.
That's pretty awesome. Kids are grown, divorced. A friend adopted
my cat, at least for training. I'm ready, Yes, indeed
you are. By the way, here's the other thing I

(55:40):
would say to you, a fifty six year old new
flight attendant, wherever you lay over, go out and see
the city. Even if it seems like it's going to
be someplace crappy, go out and see the city. It's
a great opportunity. And do not be afraid to do
that by yourself. Because one of my biggest frustrations was
when I first became a flight attendant was flight attendants
that you fly with and they're like, no, I'm just

(56:00):
gonna go I called them, we all called them slam clickers. Right,
They're gonna go to their hotel room, slam click. That's it.
You never see them again. But I learned to go
do things by myself. I still have no problem meeting
a restaurant by myself. I never have since I was
in my early twenties. Because of that, Go do museums
and go see things that you want to see, and

(56:20):
don't assume that you're gonna fly back to that destination again,
especially when you're on a reserve, so you may never
go there again. So take advantage of it and take
your vitamins and your vitamin D and your you know,
coldies and all of that stuff, because the first year
you fly, you will be sick more in that year
than you WI have ever been sick in your lifetime anyway,
So best of luck to you, stew and I wish

(56:44):
you all the best anyway. Mandy, have you seen this
clip by being asked about the hurricane? Oh, as a
matter of fact, not only have I seen it, I
saw it when I put it on the blog. Why
you you might have actually tagged me on Twitter? Did
you tag me on this? For the blog already got here?

Speaker 1 (57:00):
So?

Speaker 4 (57:00):
Did you tag me on the Joe Biden mumbling about yes,
so thanks to the wine Yogi, I have this, Can
I my audio coover just bring that up for just
a second. This is going to be really hard to hear,
but do your best, because a reporter is talking to
Joe Biden, who has just returned from a day of
flying around the southeast and looking at hurricane damage. Okay,

(57:23):
what does the states the storm zone need, mister president?
What are the states in the storm zone?

Speaker 8 (57:29):
What do they need after what you saw today?

Speaker 4 (57:32):
Howong the storm zone? So let me just repeat that
so you find out it is the reporter saying, mister president,
what do people in the storm zone need? And the
President goes what what do people in the storm zone need?
And he goes, oh, and then he continues, sure, I'm
hearing what storm is dolting goll. I was wondering which
storm you were talking about? Perhaps the one that has

(57:57):
devastated a huge swath, a swath of the south eastern
United States. Perhaps that's the storm, the storm that you
just spends all day flying over the damage. You guys,
if our enemies aren't planning to attack us at like
seven thirty at night because they know no one's going
to be manning the phones, they're just not doing it right.

(58:18):
Let me play the whole thing. It's nineteen seconds, but
hear the whole thing. What does the states the storm
zone needs? For President? What are the states and the
storm zone?

Speaker 7 (58:27):
What do they need?

Speaker 4 (58:28):
What you saw today? How long the storm zone? Yeah?
Sure home?

Speaker 5 (58:33):
What storms?

Speaker 1 (58:34):
Talking? Boy?

Speaker 4 (58:36):
They don't everything they need. Oh they're very happy. Twelve
the board. Now there have been reports that not everyone
is happy across the board, but I'll just leave that
for another time.

Speaker 3 (58:49):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (58:49):
You guys are sending in your dream matchups right now
to run for presidents. Some of them are awesome. Sarah
Huckabee and Dan Kaplis. I love that, love it. Mandy,
how could be Gabbard? It would be interesting to see
what the vote for any woman candidate block does with
that one. Well, I'm going to be honest, I don't

(59:11):
think the United States is ready for a double female ticket.
I just don't think they're going to vote for it.
And if you look at the areas where Kamala Harris
is really really having a hard time with support. Another union,
I want to say, the fire Department Union is not
endorsing in this election cycle. There are several unions that

(59:32):
have chosen to sit out this election cycle. And when
you think of who makes up these particular labor unions,
they are primarily male. And I do think for some
of it is some of them don't like her being
a female. I'd love to think that I'm wrong, and
I hope I get proven wrong with a Republican woman.
But I don't think that America is ready for a

(59:53):
double female ticket. I just don't see it happening. That
is why Tim Walls is the VP right now, because
they had to go someone. If you have the woman
who is Jamaican and uh Iranian, and what is no
way is she's Jamaican and Indian. Oh what am I saying? Yes,

(01:00:17):
Jamaican and Indian. You have to balance it out with
the Pacius white guy the folks see white guy from
the Midwest. I mean, you can't just have that going on.
Someone is manning the phones and pulling the strings. That's
what scares me. A men, Amen, how are these people
in the damaged areas going to vote? You know that
is a legitimate concern, But right now, I guarantee you

(01:00:39):
they don't care because they have way bigger fish to fry.
So what I'm imagining is going on at the state
level in North Carolina is that the Secretary of State there,
I am guessing, is probably already working on setting up
voter you know, voting areas. I'm sure that someone is
working on it. But the people in those specific gary

(01:01:00):
is I'm sure also don't care. Maybe they do a
mail in ballot, but I don't even know if they
can't deliver to their houses that that is gonna be
a problem. I'm sure someone is already working on though. Landy.
My wife is sixty seven and she's a babe. The
best thing about her is her eyes are now bad,
so she can't see me clearly. Isn't that? Isn't that
the truth? I joke about this with Chuck all the

(01:01:23):
time because he'll take his glasses off and he'll put
him up in his head and he'll go, you're so
pretty or some nice compliment, and I'm like, but you
just took your glasses off to say it, didn't you Like?
He then gets mad, he gets super salty or something.
But it's it is kind of funny, like just as
your vision starts to go really bad, your sweetheart also
starts to go and that goes both ways. Kadie Van's

(01:01:47):
Candace Owans, You guys, I'm done with Candace Owans. See me,
I am. I am not suffering the foolishness that she
is spreading and I am not participating in whatever it
is she's trying to dish out. I think that I
have a story on the blog today, and bear with
me for a second while I bring this all together.

(01:02:09):
I have a story on the blog today about megachurches
in Dallas and Texas.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:02:14):
Texas is the home of the Evangelical Megachurch, and in
the last two years they have had some significant scandals
with the pastors at multiple churches. Right, So they've had
a lot of people fall from grace in the last
little bit. And in this article, they're like, people are
just confused about why this happened. Well, I'll tell you

(01:02:36):
why it happens. Because even in a megachurch, when you
have twenty five thousand people that are tuning in to
hear your sermon and you're the reason they're there, that
feeds into a part of an ego that is not
a healthy place to be. And one of the things
this is going to sound terrible, and I don't want
to cast dispersions on Jadvance, but I fear that jd

(01:02:58):
Vance's new hotness and his new like sex symbol status
at some point could create problems for his marriage, whether
women throwing themselves at him, which I could absolutely see.
I just I worry about that stuff. When you get
too famous, it corrupts you. It just does. We'll be
right back. I've got some bad news for Generation X,

(01:03:22):
really bad news in case you were laboring under the
illusion like I am as a Gen xer that were
not old Eminem, it's gonna be a grandpa yep, and
not even as scandalous. Oh, his teenage daughter got pregnant. No,
his daughter's old and married, and now Eminem is gonna

(01:03:43):
be a It's gonna be somebody's pop. What do you
think Eminem's kids are gonna call him? Like? What would
you you know? I actually think that would be really
interesting to know what Eminem's grandpa name would be? Mandy?
How many tax credits do you think Biden had to
give those companies to get the strikeover? You're assuming that

(01:04:05):
Biden interjected at all. He had already said he was
staying out of it, and he was hoping they could
work it out. Now today there's word on the street
that budhaedge Jedge, Pete budhaj Jeedge was key in making
this happen. I'm inclined to believe that Ron DeSantis sending
the National Guard down to the Port of Miami had
more to do with it. Mandy, do you think the

(01:04:27):
Obamas are campaigning actively for Kamala. I know that they've
hosted some fundraisers, but I have certainly not seen them
on the stump. But I'm also not paying attention on
purpose to the stump. I don't need to watch Trump's rallies.
I don't need to watch Tim Walls's rallies. I don't
need to watch any of that. I don't care. I

(01:04:49):
just don't care. But I haven't seen the Obama's on
the stump. Now I have not, So yeah, so we've
got eminem having a grandchild. Last night at dinner, I
threw my neck out looking at Chuck. If that doesn't
say I'm getting older, I don't know what does. And
now a couple of things that I want to get
in this segment really quickly. The flu vaccine, for those

(01:05:13):
of you who get it, is not going to be
super effective. This year, vaccine effectiveness was about thirty four
and a half percent against hospitalization in South America. Because
South America's flu season happens before ours does. And then
we follow along with South America's flu season, and it

(01:05:34):
has not been especially effective this year. That means vaccinated
people in groups like young children, people with pre existing conditions,
and older adults were thirty four point five percent less
likely than unvaccinated people to get sick enough to go
to the hospital. Now, how does this compare it Last year,
the CDC estimated vaccine effectiveness in South America was almost

(01:05:57):
fifty two percent at at risk groups. A study by
the same group, looking at data from twenty thirteen to
twenty seventeen, estimated effectiveness is about forty three percent for
fully vaccinated young children in forty one percent for older adults.
A lot of people don't realize that the flu vaccine
is is made the year before, and they have no

(01:06:20):
idea which flu strains are going to become predominant, so
they just guess. Now it's an educated guess. It's not
like they're just throwing darts at a dartboard. They look
at what's been in, you know, sort of percolating under
the surface over the last few years. They do a
bunch of stuff, but ultimately they're guessing what flu vaccines
are going to be rampant this year. Oh, my gosh,

(01:06:43):
you guys, a lot of you are sending in Grandpa Shady.
That's hilarious, Papa Shady, that's well. Snoop Dogg's grandkids call
him Papa Snoop, and I think that's adorable. Papa Shady,
They'll call him Peanut. You're not going to watch the
Butler rally tomorrow with Trump, No, I will not. I
will be hiking in the mountains and regretting nothing. Mandy

(01:07:07):
just tuned into your show. If you talked about Elon
musking with Trump in Pennsylvania tomorrow, I have not heard that.
I have not heard that at all. Trump's and Georgia
right now. That right now though with Brian Kemp. Andy
just pointed that out. So you're getting a flu shot
just I don't know, don't I don't get a flu shot.

(01:07:30):
So when I'm old, I'll get a flu shot, as
my dad said years ago. And when I said, Dad,
are you gonna get the pneumonia vaccine? My dad goes,
old people are supposed to die of pneumonia, and I
was like, but that sounds like a horrible way to go.
I want to die peacefully in my sleep. He's like,
old people die of pneumonia. I do think he got
the pneumonia vaccine a little bit after that conversation, because

(01:07:53):
I really thought he realized I am an old person
and I may die if I don't do this shot.
All right, y'all when we get back the next hour,
we're gonna rip through a bunch of stories on the
blog first, and then we've got the wine Yogi and
Kevin Webber from Carboy. We're coming in. We're talking bubbles
and boxes. Oh yeah, stick around for that.

Speaker 2 (01:08:10):
The official home of the Colorado Buffalo. We got that KOA.

Speaker 1 (01:08:18):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and Injury Lawyers.

Speaker 4 (01:08:23):
No, it's Mandy Connell, Andy Cono.

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
On KOAM ninety more one, m s got.

Speaker 3 (01:08:33):
Way, Saddy and the Nicey's there, Andy Connal, keeping sad Babe,
clco Buncle.

Speaker 4 (01:08:44):
Welcome to the third hour of the show, and I'm
your host for one more hour. And I didn't have
Coober do the two minute drill because I got a
bunch of stories. But I don't want to like two
minute drill them because they're really good. The blog has
a lot of interesting stuff today, and some of it's
political but not all of it is. But I want
to get to one political story because I find this hilarious.
Someone asked jd Vance about the look the look at

(01:09:10):
the debate when he glanced up at the camera and
it was like the look of all time. Well, I'm
a little bit disappointed to tell you. It was just
he was looking at the timer to see how much
time he had to go before he got to respond
to Tim Walls, and the timer was right next to

(01:09:31):
the camera. So it wasn't a great thing, but man,
did it make a great meme. And this is my
favorite jd Vance quote. They asked him when he knew
how he felt he had done, and he said he
felt like he did really well. And this is a
quote he said, I looked over at Usha's face and

(01:09:52):
I just knew. I was like, holy blank, we must
have done a very good job, because Usha doesn't lie
to me, and her face especially doesn't wan to me,
and anybody who's been married for a while knows exactly
what that means. I just thought that was interesting. So
he didn't plan it. He didn't John Krasinski it up.
It wasn't an homage to the office. It was just

(01:10:14):
him glancing at the timer to see what exactly is happening.

Speaker 2 (01:10:18):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:10:20):
I'm trying to decide how I feel about Malania Trump's
latest move. She's got her memoir coming out next week.
I believe she's been doing interviews. She posted a video online.
Can I get my audio? Cooper Place? This is the
video that she posted online about abortion.

Speaker 9 (01:10:40):
Individual freedom is a fundamental principle that I safeguard without
a doubt. There is no room for compromise when it
comes to this essential right that all women possess from
a burse individual freedom.

Speaker 4 (01:10:58):
What does my body? And in her book she goes
into greater detail about her pro choiceness, and she has
been pro choice her entire adult life. And in an
article about it, this is what Donald Trump said on Thursday.

(01:11:21):
Donald Trump said Thursday that he had talked to his
wife about the book and told her to go with
her heart. He told Fox News, we spoke about it,
and I said, you have to write what you believe.
I'm not going to tell you what to do. You
have to write what you believe. There are some people
that are very very far right on the issue, meaning
without exceptions, and then there are other people that view
it a little bit differently than that. This is it's

(01:11:45):
almost like she doesn't want him to win the election
because he's already annoyed and ticked off the people who
are incredibly pro life, and that is their main issue,
and that's their only issue by saying he wouldn't sign
a federal abortion man. But part of me thinks that

(01:12:06):
this is another kind of strategic move, not because she
doesn't believe this. I do believe that these are her
opinions and her viewpoints. But to release this right now
in the election cycle, perhaps it is to reassure suburban
women who are relatively conservative except on the issue of abortion,

(01:12:27):
who turned away from Trump in twenty twenty that he
has had a really hard time winning back. And now
if the perception exists that at least his wife holds
this position, and we know that she holds sway with him.
I don't know what to think about this. I genuinely don't.
I've sort of rolled it around both ways. I'm looking
at it from different angles, trying to figure out what

(01:12:48):
is this supposed to accomplish. Because here's the thing that
I know. I just know this to be true. In
a campaign cycle, nothing is done by a candidate or
their family without it being run through like thirty different
people ahead of time for one reason specifically, and that is,

(01:13:09):
how does it help or hurt the campaign? And if
it hurts the campaign, how do we mitigate it? You
know how you mitigate it by having Donald Trump say
go with your heart. You have to write what you believe. Now,
I actually think Donald Trump believes that. I don't think
you just said it because he's not quite that politically

(01:13:29):
clever to lie about something like that. But isn't it weird?
I mean, did anybody else think that was a very
strange time to have that pop up? And I mean
right before her books coming out in October? And has
anyone seen anything on what she says about his philandering?

(01:13:51):
I'd love to know the answer to that question. I
don't know. I'm curious of anybody else. What are your
thoughts on this? Six nine oh shoot us? A text
I saw I was like, I don't know if this
helps or hurts A big story today on young, fit
and healthy people having heart attacks. Now, I want to

(01:14:12):
be clear. Roughly zero point three percent of Americans aged
eighteen to forty four had a heart attack in twenty nineteen,
so we are not talking about millions of people here,
but last year that rose two point five percent of
Americans aged eighteen to forty four. And now some of

(01:14:33):
the people having heart attacks is that we are fatter,
We are unhealthier. And there are people who are eighteen
and twenty four that are extremely overweight and they have
high blood pressure and they have like a high cholesterol
and they're sort of in a classic camp of you're
going to have a heart attack. But we also have

(01:14:54):
people that are extremely fit and healthy. A guy in
New York was doing a triathlon in New York collapsed
at the finish line of a triathlon and had a
widow maker heart attack, but managed to survive because I
guess the best place to have a massive heart attack
is that the finish line of a triathlon because apparently
there's a lot of medical people there. And the dude survived.

(01:15:16):
A twenty four year old woman who had a heart attack.
And I was talking to my trainer about this a
couple of days ago. I don't think we're going to
know for years what exactly the effect that COVID has
had on our physical bodies. I don't know if we're
going to know for years. The physical effect that the
covid vaccines had on our bodies, we don't know, because

(01:15:37):
both of those things were brand new. You have the
covid vaccine or the covid virus itself that was brand new.
You have the COVID vaccine an mRNA vaccine that was new.
So I don't think we know, but we do know this.
We do know that mRNA vaccines did affect especially young men,

(01:15:57):
with increase cases of my own card etitis, and Perry
Cardie said, an Oxford study just demonstrated that connection. None
of them were fatal. I don't think any of those
cases were fatal, but I think the covid virus does
something to our organs and our heart and everything else.
I just don't think we're gonna know for quite a
long while exactly the long term ramifications of this. But

(01:16:20):
the reason I do this story is just so there
are different symptoms for men and women when it comes
to heart attacks, and you need to know those symptoms.
And if someone is young and healthy but is telling
you that they are having a blinding, shooting pain up
their left arm or their chest, all of a sudden
feels like an elephant is sitting on it. Take it seriously.

(01:16:43):
Don't just say, oh, it's probably nothing, heartburn, anxiety, panic attack,
which is what one young woman was told before they
did testing and found out she had a massive heart attack.
So be aware, pay attention. We don't know, Mandy. I
never had high blood pressure in my life until I
got the cod A shot. Now I'm on high blood
pressure medication for the rest of my life. Mandy, I

(01:17:05):
have no problem with the Malania position. Two people gonna
have different views and still be together. No, I understand that.
I'm not saying Millenia should be lockstep in with her husband.
What I'm saying is this memoir is coming out in
October before a massive election, and you're gonna touch on
the most controversial issue in a way that puts you

(01:17:26):
at odd with the with the party that your husband
is representing. See what I'm saying there. Definitely I'm not
mad she has a different opinion. What I'm asking about
is the timing, because I have to believe that the
campaign would have said, do you have to wait until
after the election to release this memoir if unless they

(01:17:46):
thought it was gonna help. And trust me when I
say everything that the Trump family is doing right now
is run through a campaign lens, every single thing, and
if it's not, they need to fire everybody working on
the campaign. News Talk and KOA Sports Wheat Days at
three gen Xers explained that weird moment in the late

(01:18:09):
nineties when everyone got into swing music. It was so amazing.
The movie Swingers. Oh it was so good. Oh, Brian
setz or Orchestra exactly, so so good. We regret nothing.
I got a couple of weird stories for you. The
Sahara desert. You've heard of it, massive pile of burning sand.

(01:18:29):
I watch all those nature shows on the BBC. You
do not want to get dropped into the middle of Sahara.
You just don't want to have it happen to you.
Not a thing you want to have happen to you.
The Sahara is turning green, and it's turning green because
plants are growing in it. Yeah, pretty amazing. They had
a giant cyclone over that part of Africa, and now

(01:18:52):
the pictures from space are showing that the Sahara has
got a little green in it.

Speaker 3 (01:18:57):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:18:57):
Now, this is not the first time that the Sahara
is green up. And I really feel like the Earth,
the Earth has away, right, the Earth has a way
of fixing things. So apparently between eleven and five thousand
years ago, during the African humid period, I know you
were just talking about that with your friends, there was
greening in the Sahara, and there've been over two hundred

(01:19:20):
thirty periods of greening over the past eight million years,
occurring roughly every twenty one thousand years. So the map
is actually kind of cool. I still don't want to
go to the Sahara, no desire to visit a desert
like that. It just seems hot, lots of sand, uncomfortable.
I'm going to pass on that now. A fun story
from Israel. I haven't talked about Israel today. The IDF

(01:19:43):
is now confirmed that is killed the Hamas second in command.
They killed him about three months ago. The funny part
about this not funny haha, which is funny in general,
is that Hamas hadn't mentioned it. No, they didn't mention
that Rawe Mushtafa, the de facto prime minister of the
Gaza strip I, had been missing several months because the

(01:20:05):
IDF killed him. The IDEF thinks it's because Hamas did
not want to further demoralize hermas, I say, demoralize away.
If you missed the chance to get Casabanita reservations and
you were in that mad house of a ten thousand
person Q, you have another chance on Monday. I've just decided,
you know what I mean, kind of like I'm fifty

(01:20:25):
five years old. I don't have a single tattoo, and
at this point in time, I wear that as a
point of pride. I might be I'm never gonna try
and get reservations of Casabanita, proud. I haven't decided yet.
It can't be that good. I mean it's Casabanita, sure,
but it can't be that good. You guys ready to
hear the dumbest thing on MSNBC this week. And that

(01:20:47):
is such a low bar, such a low bar. Let
me just play this for you. Milania is talking to
those young men particularly. She may be talking just to
their wives, but.

Speaker 1 (01:20:58):
This is you know, she's in line with where most
of the United States is in all the polling shows,
where the population is. She's just not particularly in line
with where her husband's politics are. Well.

Speaker 7 (01:21:07):
She may have been speaking to those young men with
her naked pictures when she did the new photo shoots
in GQ, But we can't forget the Laura books.

Speaker 4 (01:21:15):
To be clear, what she just said was back in
the early nineties when Malania Trump, who wasn't Malania Trump,
then did her nude modeling. She did it to get
Trump votes from young men. So that is the stupidest
thing heard on MSNBC. And again the bar is very
very low. Great article about Costco going all in on

(01:21:37):
doomsday prep. One thing I know about Costco and as
a often Costco shopper, like all the time, like a
little too much, I can tell you if it doesn't sell,
Costco's not going to keep it. They are ruthless and
there's nothing worse than seeing something you love at Costco
with an eighty eight eighty eight sense at the end.
That means it's going away and it's never coming back. Well,

(01:22:00):
they are selling all kinds of stuff for preppers. They've
got platinum and gold bars, Oh yeah, got that. Those
are selling like hotcakes. They got those big buckets of
survival food. They have all kinds of stuff and they're
going in even more. The meal buckets they have or
under one hundred bucks, they're set to last twenty five years.
And I'm not saying that we should all be preppers,

(01:22:22):
but I'm saying, is it the worst idea to have
a little something putting aside just so you can, you know,
not starved to death in the case of an apocalypse
or an emp or something like that. You should probably
while you're at it, go to Carboy Winery and pick
up a case of their new Coseco because the wine
Yogi just poured a glass from me and it smells

(01:22:42):
like perfume and I haven't even tried it yet. We're
going to talk about it and Box Wind. We're hitting
both ends of the spectrum today. Right after this, keep
it right here on Kowa. I wish that we had
smell a vision. Oh yeah, right now, because something just
happened that has honestly never happened to me in the
studio with the wine Yuki Crystal Alfonso Kevin Weber, the

(01:23:03):
CEO of Carboy. First of all, much like that time
I was in Seattle and at a party with a
bunch of tech people and everybody kept talking about things
and I had no idea what they were talking about.
That just happened here, only it was about wine instead
of about other stuff. So uh, we'll get to that
in a second. Kevin is part of Carbo Winery, which

(01:23:23):
is and I said this earlier on the show, Kevin.
When I first got here, people gave me bottles of
Colorado wine and they were terrible, like terrible, and I thought, Okay,
that's enough of that. I'm not trying anymore. And then
I met Crystal and she said, no, no, no, no, no,
there's incredible Colorado wine. And the first wine she gave
me was yours, Carboy, and I think was it Native Phizz?

(01:23:45):
Was that the first Nat turned his mic on please coover?
It was the Native Phizz And I was like, oh, well,
this is a revelation. So hats off to you for
being the first Colorado wine that that got my attention
in a really big and good way. You guys have
been at this for how long now this is our
eighth harvest, so eighth year, so yeah, it's not very long.

Speaker 5 (01:24:07):
Twenty sixteen was when we established the winery in Littleton.

Speaker 4 (01:24:11):
So you guys over the years, I mean, I think
the last time I talked to you was probably four
or five years ago, and you talked about some of
the stuff you had coming down the pike, some of
the things that you were developing and working on. What
goes into launching because this is a fully new kind
of wine. The coseco that you guys are launching right now,

(01:24:31):
that's a fully new product for you guys, right. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:24:34):
Well, so in twenty twenty one, we purchased the old
garfield of the state's vineyard in winery in Palisade, and
we replanted the vineyard and we built a sparkling production
facility and kind of the next evolution for us as
carboy was we felt like there was a huge opportunity
to put Colorado wine on the map for sparkling wine,

(01:24:54):
and so Caseco is just the next milestone in that vision.
So it's you know, we we What we do uh
im Palisade largely is the Charmont method, which is just
to make it simple for everybody. It's secondary fermentation of
wine in a big a big tank, pressure rides tank.

Speaker 2 (01:25:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:25:15):
So the other method for doing that would be the
popular is in the bottle, and the most emblematic of
that is Italian prosecco. So look at us getting cute
on words coseco.

Speaker 4 (01:25:30):
Because there's no doubt about what it is. It is
a Colorado prosecco. Yeah, and that was the idea.

Speaker 5 (01:25:34):
And and you know, as we continue to talk about
wines relevancy every year, younger wine drinkers, where does Colorado
fit on the national map? You know, Colorado is always
going to be known for the outdoors, and so Coseco
and then partnering with Open Snow for this label and
really leaning into that outdoor ethos. You know, we're trying

(01:25:54):
to change the conversation of like, hey, when you come
to Colorado and you're skiing or your bike or whatever
it is, you don't always have to operate with a beer.
You should operate with the Colorado wine. So this is
a great way of blending those to those two the ideologies.

Speaker 4 (01:26:07):
This wine smells so good. It smells like flowers. I mean,
it smells absolutely and it's intoxicating. Where do you where
does that come from?

Speaker 5 (01:26:20):
Taiazac Wharton are amazing director of wine making. He's he's
got apart from being my spirit animal, he is just
amazing wine maker. And he's got an innovative vision for
how he likes to make wine. And so this this
is this grape is called treminet. It's a it's parent
grape is Gervertzmeir, So it's very very similar to that,

(01:26:41):
but it throws off this amazing aromatic profile. And then
the taste profile is you know, citrus and honey and
leachy and all those things that you think about when
you think about Gerversemeor, but this is bone dry.

Speaker 4 (01:26:52):
When you drink it, it makes you think persecco, Like,
this is not it's got like a floral thing going on,
but it's not. It's not. It's a linger, it's not overwhelming,
and you just get that nice, dry finish. It almost
feels like the best of both worlds in a way
that for someone that would prefer something on the sweeter side,
I feel like they would enjoy this as well. Yeah,
But for me, I'm a dry person, so this is

(01:27:15):
pretty extraordinary. I love this. It makes me sad. I
don't drink wine anymore, to be perfectly honest, Like, I'm
a little bit depressed right now for that.

Speaker 3 (01:27:22):
I am.

Speaker 4 (01:27:23):
Now the wine yogi is in here. Your thoughts on
the cosco.

Speaker 8 (01:27:27):
So my first thing that I said kind of across
the way Kevin.

Speaker 4 (01:27:32):
Was where all the wine words went back and forth.
Oh my god, the news.

Speaker 6 (01:27:36):
It's a beautiful bouquet I mean, yeah, I could just
I wish I could bathe in it because it is
just such an amazing perfume that's happening from all those
floral notes, and it is the Gaverts kind of lineage. God,
and then when I tasted it, I was like, I
would have never guessed on the palette because it is
pop in acidity. It's got just yeah, that leechy kind
of note happening, and it is such a lovely the

(01:27:58):
persistent bubble which I found in the koa.

Speaker 4 (01:28:03):
I heart yes, World, I thank you for providing us
with these fancy glasses shampagne flutes.

Speaker 6 (01:28:10):
I was like, we're gonna have bubbles and there's still
the persistent bubbles.

Speaker 8 (01:28:14):
I absolutely love that, just a lovely and what I
love the label.

Speaker 6 (01:28:18):
All of it just kind of comes together and it's
going to be such a beautiful I think it's releasing
what November first?

Speaker 4 (01:28:23):
When is this one? October nineteenth? Okay, so soon.

Speaker 8 (01:28:27):
This is going to be so awesome on a holiday table.

Speaker 6 (01:28:30):
And if you were kind of thinking not only for
Thanksgiving but down the road for Christmas and your New
Year's celebration, I would snag some of these as soon as.

Speaker 8 (01:28:39):
They're released because they are party pleasers. These are just fans.
They're delicious. It is well done, This is a fantastic.

Speaker 4 (01:28:44):
These are going in ski bags for opera ski like
I can patch th ski boots.

Speaker 5 (01:28:48):
You know, you know, sparkling wine is now as you know,
crystal is the is the pretty much the king of
the castle when it comes to sales for wine worldwide,
and it's largely been led by Prosecco and its popularity.

Speaker 4 (01:28:59):
So just leaning into that.

Speaker 5 (01:29:01):
I mean, no matter where we go if we bring bubbles,
people are like, oh my god, bubbles because it used
to be a celebratory thing and now I was like, no,
it's an everyday thing, Like why can't you just have bubbles?

Speaker 4 (01:29:10):
Like it's I'm pro bubble one hundred percent of the time.
I love bubbles. I love sparkling rose. It's well. Your
native fizz that you guys do is just I could
drink that all day long. But let me ask you
what goes into the creation of something like this, Like
when did you guys decide, you know what, we're gonna
do a prosecco and then somebody said, and we're gonna
call it cot echo And then you were like, yes,
this is gonna happen. What is that development process? I'm

(01:29:32):
very interested in that.

Speaker 5 (01:29:33):
It's you know, either mad scientists or we just get
bored and want to do something different, but it's for
something like this. We always felt like, okay, we really
leaned into the Charmont method. So in Palisade, we're like,
we just found out, unbeknownst to us at the beginning
of the year that we're the largest Charmont facility outside
of California in the country. Wow, and that's just crazy
to me. But the we we started thinking, well, you know,

(01:29:56):
it's just too bad. We just can't call this prosecco.
So we wanted to get cute and try to figure
out how we could mold that in there somewhere We're
like palise echo something play on Palisade and just nothing
really stuck. And then we kind of just forgot about
it for a year. And then you know, we have
all of these amazing grape varieties that we bring in
this time of year and we're harvesting and it's like, okay,

(01:30:17):
I think we need to do this. And really what
kicked this off was, you know, I'm friends with the
Open Snow guys, and I'm trying to rebrand wine to
be more fun and adventurous, and they're such a great
you know, there's such there's such great guys. In their
platform is just it screams that's how you go out
and adventure in Colorado.

Speaker 4 (01:30:33):
So we just said, hey, let's do this collab. And
the name just came about, and it's like, how do
we never think about that? And I just said, let's
just let's just do it. Just so, what do you
call this particular? You just call it sparkling wine color,
sparkling wine. Okay, So so it's prosecco, like what makes
unless it's from the Chapana region such Charmont method, it's

(01:30:55):
tank method.

Speaker 5 (01:30:56):
It is, so okay, you just can't call it prosecco
because of the Italian have that and prosecco.

Speaker 8 (01:31:01):
Is the Glara grape, so from the Veneto in Italy.

Speaker 6 (01:31:05):
So I mean that's a very specific docg kind of
like if you think of government.

Speaker 4 (01:31:10):
Yeah, so okay, it is more stop talking government, just stop.

Speaker 8 (01:31:14):
Government will sue you if you call it prosecco.

Speaker 4 (01:31:17):
Yeah, there you go. Yeah, So it's fantastic. So is
there a big party the release party on.

Speaker 5 (01:31:24):
We so we have our annual harvest party in Little
Tin at the winery on October nineteenth, and we're gonna
release it on that date.

Speaker 4 (01:31:30):
Okay, if you've never been to Carboy Wineries facility here,
first of all, they have a meat aquarium where they're
making like sharkhuterie. Do you still have the meat aquarium?

Speaker 1 (01:31:37):
We do?

Speaker 4 (01:31:38):
Chef is still curing meats. It's a querium full of meat.
It's fantastic brasiolo, all of it's like butter. I mean,
whatever you get from there is incredible. They make incredible
sausage and cured stuff and it's just really really good.
But it's a great space and it's always fine and
everybody's always having a good time there.

Speaker 5 (01:31:57):
Yeah, we've got we've got an amazing band playing. We've
got a cool collaboration with Breckner's Distillery coming up that's
releasing that day as well, So they'll be pouring this
bourbon that was aged in cabernet front casts that we
gave them. So we just, you know, we just like
to have fun and do in collaboration. I think is
really you know, so Colorado, Well.

Speaker 4 (01:32:18):
Let's let's do something that you can weigh it. Feel
free to weigh in on Kevin. But when Crystal's on
the show, one of the main questions she gets is
what about box wine? Because let's be real, box wine
is easy, it is convenient.

Speaker 1 (01:32:32):
You just have it.

Speaker 4 (01:32:34):
You don't have to worry about it going bad right away.
So if you're a one glass of wine a night person,
that works for some people. And Crystal actually searched high
and low boxes high boxes low and did a blog
post on some good box wine. You're not one hundred
percent anti box wine, No, not.

Speaker 6 (01:32:52):
At all, And certainly these are the wines I will
cook with often. But then with the caveat, if you
don't like a wine when you taste it, don't cook
with it, because it will. Cooking is only going to
intensify whatever it is you don't like about that wine.
And ironically enough, one of the wines I brought is
actually oxidized, and so I will be returning this particular
box wine.

Speaker 8 (01:33:13):
So I was a little disappointed with that.

Speaker 6 (01:33:14):
It's a super weird color, no bueno. But yeah, there
is definitely especially and Kevin can probably.

Speaker 4 (01:33:23):
You know, confirm this.

Speaker 6 (01:33:25):
You know, making wine bottles is expensive, glass is expensive.

Speaker 8 (01:33:29):
Quirks are expensive, and so for a lot of wine.

Speaker 6 (01:33:32):
Producers out there that some of the options that they're
exploring are going into some of these, whether it's box
wine or canning, they're wine.

Speaker 4 (01:33:42):
So is it ideal?

Speaker 3 (01:33:43):
No?

Speaker 8 (01:33:44):
Am I going to drink a wine out of a can?

Speaker 6 (01:33:46):
No, I'm going to pour it into a decent glass
and that's the only way I'm going to be able
to really truly enjoy.

Speaker 4 (01:33:51):
It and then give me a plastic cup. At red Roxy.
Last time I got wine there, I was like, I
can't drink wine out of a can, just fundamentally, I can't.
I can't do it.

Speaker 6 (01:34:00):
For that out there is something that's just wrong about that.
I'm not quite there yet, but so I have a take.

Speaker 4 (01:34:06):
I have a take.

Speaker 5 (01:34:06):
Look, sustainability is not just a buzzword. It's something in
twenty twenty four, no matter what industry, and if you're
not thinking about how you can be more sustainable as
a business, how you can reduce your impact on the planet,
then you're you're you're missing opportunity, but you're also not
doing the right thing. So I'm not against box wine
or any of these alternative packaging methods.

Speaker 4 (01:34:28):
And We've looked into some of them.

Speaker 5 (01:34:31):
You know, at the end of the day, if the
wine isn't protected and the quality of the product is
somehow lessened by going this more sustainable route, which by
the way, from a cost standpoint, it's not. It's very expensive,
then the consumer is going to have an end result product.

Speaker 4 (01:34:47):
That they're not gonna want. And then you know, and
there you go, and it was not a great wine.
And I'm gonna be perfectly frank. In nineteen ninety one,
I became a flight attenant. They sent me to Los Angeles, California,
and on our days off, we would get a box
of Franzia wine because it had just come out, and
we would go to the beach and watch the professional
male volleyball players play. And I heard nothing about that

(01:35:08):
period of my life. I was some front cards. Was there, yes,
oh oh yeah, talk to me sister, good days, good times.
But it's then I have a skewed box wine, because
it does seem like I was twenty one and living
in Los Angeles and taking a box wine to the beach,
a little like I was sleeping under a bridge.

Speaker 8 (01:35:26):
I did mention that in my blog post is I
had Phronsie.

Speaker 6 (01:35:30):
Why all did whites in when I was going through
pilot training, because everybody wants a little glass after you've
had a long day flying. But yet, no, there are
some Definitely, personally, I wouldn't be buying boxwine necessarily from
those kinds of producers.

Speaker 8 (01:35:45):
That's not the kind of box swine. I'm interested in.

Speaker 4 (01:35:48):
Box wines that have the fancy wooden box sometimes too.

Speaker 6 (01:35:50):
I do, but they're difficult that some of them I
can't find them anymore. There was some Bordeaux wine makers
because a box wine is it's three leaders, so essentially holds,
you know, the four bottles of wine, right, And so
that's the other reason why I will use it for cooking,
because there's a lot of times when I am brazing stuff,
and you know, I don't want to necessarily spend some

(01:36:11):
you know, in my beautiful bottled wine that I maybe
have gotten from Carboy to cook beef or whatever my
prist is. But if I can find a quality box
wine that I can then just kind of leave in
my fridge, yeah, I'm probably gonna throw down with some
Levia fairm And guess what the reason why I'm familiar
with Levia firm. That's what we've I brought into the
French kitchen to make a lot of their soup bases.

Speaker 8 (01:36:33):
So the French onion soup is used.

Speaker 6 (01:36:35):
This is the wine that they use as one as
part of that component, so that it's a quality wine
and it's not imparting weird labor profiles.

Speaker 4 (01:36:43):
Okay, before we get done, and we're almost done here.
Price point on the case eco. Somebody's asked me on
the text wine, what's the price point? We'll be twenty
eight dollars a bottle and worth I think every penny.
You have a class coming up the wine gallery and colonid,
so let's talk about that for two minutes before we
do have the day.

Speaker 6 (01:36:56):
Do you want a little spooky wine tasting? Kind of
our homage to October. So we're doing the Dach country,
so Deutsch Len Austria and Switzerland.

Speaker 4 (01:37:05):
Swiss wine and those are my favorite.

Speaker 6 (01:37:07):
It's anywhere I'm going to do a Swiss fondue with
a Swiss fundant.

Speaker 4 (01:37:12):
Are you going to haul about one half loaf and
just pour the fondue in there like we got at
the Christmas markets and Switzer one least? Probably?

Speaker 3 (01:37:18):
Why not?

Speaker 8 (01:37:18):
Samples these are.

Speaker 4 (01:37:20):
Wait, where's this that I need to put this in
my calendar? Yeah, well we did show up for that.
What's the date?

Speaker 8 (01:37:26):
So it is it October thirteenth? I think it's a
so it's a week from the Sunday.

Speaker 4 (01:37:31):
And I have it linked on the blog. I could
just go look myself. I did put a link on
the blog both to the uh the wine you use
blog post about box wine if you want specific, she's
got that on there and a link to register. And
I forgot to put a link to Carbo Winery. A
couple of people asking can Carboy be delivered? Can people order?
Do you have to come to the winery? How do
they get it? You have to come to the winery.

Speaker 5 (01:37:52):
We do have a great deal of our wines in
distribution all over the state, but this wine just released.
It probably will take some time till you start seeing
in liquor stores or on menus or anything.

Speaker 4 (01:38:02):
But can you guys ship out of state?

Speaker 5 (01:38:04):
They shipped to thirty eight states outside of Colorado, just
not within the stay.

Speaker 4 (01:38:07):
I would go to Carboy Winery dot com. That is
their website.

Speaker 5 (01:38:10):
Carboy wants you to come and be our best friends
and then you're like, you know, like part of the family,
like both of you are.

Speaker 4 (01:38:16):
Yeah. I think they're out of state. That's the problem.
Yeah we do.

Speaker 5 (01:38:19):
Yeah, get our website. There'll be a list of states.
We do ship too.

Speaker 4 (01:38:22):
There's very few we don't. Okay, we're happily. We'll shout government.
I'm just throwing that out there. Two strikes today in
the wine industry. Kevin, we play this really dumb game
at uh at uh oh. Yeah, it's a dumb game
we played at the end of every day. It's a
trivia type game. Do you want to you in? Okay,
he's in. You don't even know what he's doing. He's in.

(01:38:43):
It works for things I don't even know what I'm doing.

Speaker 2 (01:38:45):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (01:38:45):
That's why Kevin Weber, CEO of Carboy Winery, is awesome.
The wind you he plays every time she's here. It
works like this. First, I say, now it's time for
the most exciting segment all the radio out guide in
the world. Love the day. All right, First thing, we
get a dad joke up the day. All you're required
to do here is either laugh or grown or not
saying anything. It's your choice. Okay, what is our dad joke? Couver.

(01:39:07):
Why do crabs never give to charity because they're penny pinchers?
Because they're shellfish? Okay, that's a good one.

Speaker 2 (01:39:19):
I like that one.

Speaker 4 (01:39:20):
Okay. Today's word of the day. This is where we
guess the definition for usually a kind of a hard word.

Speaker 3 (01:39:25):
What is it?

Speaker 4 (01:39:27):
Oh, that's me again, Sorry about that. Gossamer? Gossamer? Doesn't
that mean very like very thin? Flimsy, Like a gossamer
fiber is like a delicate fiber of some sort.

Speaker 7 (01:39:41):
Yeah, something described as gossamer, such as a butterfly wing
or a thin fabric, is very light or delicate.

Speaker 4 (01:39:47):
I was gonna say mindful. That might work wrong, but
it sounded good. That sounded really good. Oddly. Today's trivia
question is a beer question. Where where did the Pilsner
beers beer style?

Speaker 8 (01:39:59):
Originally eight Germany? I believe, yeah, check.

Speaker 4 (01:40:04):
Modern day check Republic Bohemia. You are correct. In the
mid nineteenth century, Pilsners fall into the umbrella, the lagger
type beer, and I'm a huge fan. Now it works
like this. This is where it gets tricky. Kevin. We're
gonna do jeopardy when you want to answer the question,
and you do not have to wait until the end
of the question. You shout out your name Kevin like that,
and then we call on you and you have to
answer in the form of a question. It sounds easy,

(01:40:26):
it is not.

Speaker 3 (01:40:27):
It is not.

Speaker 4 (01:40:27):
Let you know, all right, there we go, got everybody's thing.
What is our Jeopardy category? Please coover?

Speaker 7 (01:40:34):
I think I got an easy one for you guys. Right,
at least a lot of the answers are fairly recent. Okay,
So the category is your role r O L L
