Speaker 3 (00:08):
Dona ninety FM, sad Way say can the nicety.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Through Frey Andy Connell Keithy who is sad bab Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
To a Friday edition of the show All Together? Now, Woo,
that's right, that woo. Who you hear right over there
is Grant. He's in for a Rod who is off
celebrating the life of his late grandfather with his family.
So he'll be back next week. But in the meantime,
we have a lot of stuff on our plate. Plus
(00:49):
we have coverage of the of the Donald Trump rally. Now, Grant,
I don't know who you follow on Twitter, but do
you follow anybody on Twitter slash x that has shown
video of crowds?
Speaker 5 (01:00):
I haven't seen any other.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Oh my god, go to my Mark Salinger posted the
line first of all, and that is there. And then
George Brockler just did a drive by of the line.
Thousands and thousands and thousands of people, y'all. I wouldn't
line up in a line that long for a new car. Okay,
(01:23):
I am lineaverse grant, how do you feel about waiting
in lines?
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Hate them with a deep passion.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
The reason Olivia and I don't go to brunch anymore
is because I got so mad waiting in line one
time to go to snooze that we don't do that anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Well I will.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Here's a little pro tip. Most places, if you get
there before nine, no line, Most places you got to
get there before nine. I know, I know when you
get old though, just something to remember when you get
old and can no longer sleep past four thirty, because
apparently that's what old people do, at least this old
person anyway, And that's something to know. So that's the
(02:00):
the workaround that being said. Oh my goodness, you guys,
this line is insane. That he's supposed to speak in
fifty one minutes, so I don't know if they're going
to They can't delay it. He has another event either
in Nevada or California. I saw yesterday. I can't remember
at like five, so they can't delay it. So I'm
(02:23):
wondering how many of these people are going to be
left standing outside trying to get in, And I'm wondering
how many people already inside they had people lined up
before six o'clock.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Miss madness.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
It is crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I mean, no, is it nuts? I mean, it's just
it's nuts.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
It never ends.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
No, no, not at all.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
You have to do a part too, exactly exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
So let's do the blog and maybe by the end
of the blog there'll be five more people inside. Now
I've gone through the secret surface screen secret service screening, right,
like the RNC, for example. We the RNC screening was
not anything more excessive than like the airport, right, and
they tell you not to bring any bags with you,
(03:11):
Like if you walk up with no bags, you're basically
walking through a very high tech metal detector and then
you're walking in. And for something like this, there's no
reason for anybody to be bringing any bags. So I
don't know why what the hold up is, you know
what I mean, Like, why it's taking so long? Did
they just not think that all of these people are
going to, you know, show up. Wow, Jimmy Seckenberger is
(03:34):
going to be with us at twelve thirty to talk
about it. He is there and he says, well, over
ten thousand people so far, and I don't know, you know,
they always over give tickets for an event like this
because they want to make sure it's full and they
know some people. You'll have like a twenty percent no
show rate, and for stuff like this, I mean when
does when? Is Arnald Trump ever going to come back
to Colorado?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Never?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
So it'll be interesting to see how they pull this off.
Oh my god, it's it's packed inside too. Wow, let's
do the blog. It's a Friday blog. Elon Musk has
made a robot. You guys, I am beyond I am
beyond excited. I am beyond excited about optimists. I'm saving
my pennies. Now find the blog by going to mandy'sblog
dot com. That's mandy'sblog dot com. Look for the headline
(04:19):
this is ten eleven twenty four blog. Elon makes a
robot for us all plus plus cornhole for soldiers. Click
on that and here are the headlines you will find within.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
I don't being with someone's in office half of American
all with ships and clipmas and say let's go to
press plant.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Today on the blog. Want to actually do something to
really support the troops. Elon Musk unveiled some cool stuff
last night, sprowling Trump's big visit to Aurora. Is today.
It's a free for all Friday. We've reached peak idiocy
with political videos. But wait, there's more. Why are we
busy buzzing homeless people back downtown? Flights are back on
(04:57):
to Florida? Why I don't do mine tour? In one story,
our migrant flood is now a trickle. Denver's rate of
inflation has dropped. Governor Polis moves to secure our elections.
Office vacancies are still sky high in the metro. Hispanic
Kamala enters the chat star wars now has a trans stormtrooper.
(05:18):
Why I want ron desantists scrolling scrolling plan your twenty
twenty five Red Rocks concert going now dgif? Everybody, not
every bad emotion is anxiety? What can help make you
more resilient? Those are the headlines on the blog at
mandy'sblog dot com. And I just realized I forgot to
embed the last video that I was going to bed,
(05:38):
so I have to go back and find that. But
I know how to find it, so I'll do that
on the break now. I have a lot of videos
on the blog today that are worth your time. But
I am going to tell you right now if you
are one of those awesome people who listen to the
entire show. First of all, I love you. You're my favorites. Okay. Now,
(05:58):
if y'all are mad that I'm not talking about you
because you're not my favorite, I'm just saying if you
listen all day, every day, you'd be part of my
favorites too. But I need you guys to participate in this. Okay.
So after we talk to Jimmy at twelve thirty, I
want to get your feedback on a video that is
on the blog today, and I'm going to describe it
just in case you can't get to the blog at
(06:19):
Mandy's blog dot com and find the latest post and
anna and look for this specific video. It is a
video of it's under the headline that I wrote. But wait,
there's more. So in the video, Michigan Governor Gregen Whitmer
is feeding. Okay, let me just set it up as
(06:39):
the video rolls. Okay, So there's a woman in a
pink sweater on her knees like kneeling and looking up
sort of like she's, you know, getting communion, and then
Gretchen Whitmer hands her dorrito. Hang on one second, I
gotta turn the volume off here, Han, I want to
make sure I get this right, hands her Dorito as
(07:00):
if she's giving her communion, and then it goes up
to Gretchen Whitmer standing there with a bag of Dorito's,
wearing a camouflage Harris Wall's hat, and it's almost like
a Fellini movie, Like, I don't even know what's going
on in this. So what I thought would be fun
and a shameless thing to get you to look at
the blog. I thought it would be fun. I'd like
(07:22):
to know your interpretations of what we see in this video,
because I genuinely I don't know, Grant, did you watch
the video yet?
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Yeah, I'm just confused again.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
And so I thought maybe it would be fun to
kind of focus group it, right, just kind of open
it up to just spitball some ideas about what's going on.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Knees.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I don't know what's happening here in this in this interview,
I did do a little digging on the interview. Okay,
apparently during this interview, this woman is a Canadian feminist podcaster. Now, Grant,
let's just assume you're still a single man, right, and
you're out there doing the grand you know, shuffle through
the bars kind of looking to meet a nice lady friend.
You walk up to someone and you say, hey, nice
(08:09):
to meet you.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
And she says, I'm a feminist podcaster. What happens next?
Speaker 5 (08:14):
I walk away?
Speaker 8 (08:15):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
But apparently in this interview that Gretchen Whitmer did with
this Canadian podcaster, the Canadian podcaster ever thought if she'd
thought of killing her daughters after they were born a
post worth abortion, like ha ha ha, that's so funny,
so weird, but I just thought it would be nice.
And y'all, I don't think Gretchen Whitmer's down for it.
(08:41):
She looks just as confused as we are. But that's
not a pass. Why in the world are you gonna
let yourself be talked into this? You can almost see
in her eyes, like you can almost see that in
her eyes, she's just like, I regret this.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
If I don't regret what the hell.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Exactly doesn't She look confused, like what is happening right now? Well,
but she's the one standing there for the video with
a feminist podcaster, and you think that this isn't gonna
get out. I'm genuinely confused, so I need you guys
to do that. We're gonna talk to Jimmy Sanenberger from
the Trump rally at twelve thirty. But in the meantime,
I have a bunch of stuff that I want to
(09:18):
talk about, not the least of which is Elon Musk's
new robot army. Yet last night there was a Tesla reveal,
and I find it interesting that when you look at
the news media coverage, the big focus is on the
robotaxi and the robobus that he rolled out last night,
that I also think are pretty cool. And I think
(09:39):
what he laid out last night the vision of us
not having automobiles and using these robotaxis that are completely driverless,
and I think they look kind of cool. The robotaxis.
I think the robobuses kind of look like a toaster,
like at any minute, giant bread is going to pop
right out of the top. But the they hold like
(10:00):
up to forty people, and they too are driver lists
and they're electric and all that fancy stuff. I mean,
he said last night, and god, he's a terrible speaker,
but he said last night. He goes, you know, should
in the future look like the future? So he's basically
kind of thinking Jetsons, and I gotta tell you, it
does make me feel like we're actually moving towards the
(10:21):
future instead of where we are now, which is every
single car, no matter who makes it, looks exactly the same,
and every truck is starting to look exactly the same,
Like everything looks exactly the same. But they don't look
more futuristic. They just look the same. And I mean
they look the same as each other. Every mid sized
(10:42):
suv looks the same, every big truck looks the same.
I mean they're just everything is so homogenized. I find
this stuff fascinating. But I don't want to talk about
the robo taxi and the robovan. I want to talk
about optimists. Optimists, as they say, is your own personal
R two D two C three PO but better. And
he has twelve of these things walking out on stage.
(11:03):
They did a little disco. Apparently they serve some drinks.
I'm ready for my robot. He also says these robots
are going to come in under thirty grand. And I
got to tell you, I'm only halfway kidding when I
say I have. I've already started saving for my robot. Now, grant,
let's say that the price comes down to half that
(11:24):
would you would you be down for buying a personal
robot in the next five to ten years.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
No, these sights terrify me.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
What No, did you see it playing the games with
the family? Yeah, this is like, uh, this is I
don't know. I at least need a couple of trial rounds.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
A couple of Ye.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
You gotta lean in. He I mean, because obviously our
current leadership is not great. Okay, so why don't we
just why don't we just put the robots in charge
and let the chips well they may Okay, I'm just
trying to speed ahead to the actual future when the
robots have taken over everything. Let's just skip the RESTful
middle part. Okay, let's just jump right into the robots
(12:03):
taking over everything. I'm not kidding. I probably would want
this just to take care of all of the domestic
tasks around my house, sco everything. I want them to
do everything, like every domestic task. Imagine imagine leaving your
house in the morning. You're running late, You kind of
(12:25):
leave a mess in the bathroom. You know, you forget
to put the pot roast in the crock pot for dinner.
You race out of the house and they're like, Dad,
nab it. But then you could call Robbie your robot
and be like, heh, Robbie, I didn't say I was
a creative namer. Okay, I feel like I have to
know the robot to name it properly. So we're gonna
go with Robbie. Hey, Robbie, I made a mess and
I forgot to put the roast in the crockpot, and
(12:47):
Robbie's like, I got you, boo, or however you program
it to talk to you and they take care of it,
and then when you come home everything's neat and tidy.
It's like, you know what I would name my robot?
I know I'm in a namer Alice from Jetson's No
from a Brady Bunch, Yeah, because here it is like
a stay at home mom, but she has a living
maid and they don't have a mansion. Right, Like what
(13:08):
was what was Carol Brady doing all the time? Like
what was happening with Caro Carol Brady? She had nothing
to do and Alice was handling everything. So Alice my
robot companion. I'm not gonna call it like a maid.
I don't want it to feel subservient, right, it is,
but I don't want to feel.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Subservient because you're scared of how it's going to react.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I'm just saying, you know what, if there's a robot
uprising up already established, I'm gonna be one of the
good humans, if you know what I mean. Okay, I'm
going to be one of the good ones grant where
the robots are like, let her live, she is a
good one, or however they sound. I mean, I'm sure
they're gonna sound better than that. Just letting that on, Mandy.
My inner Will Smith is saying no to the robots.
(13:50):
You guys, come on, Okay. I think I can see
a clear divide on our text line. I believe the
men are saying, Mandy, have you seen eye robot? And
the women are saying, yes, give me a robot just
to clean my house. So I think there's a little
bit of a divide there, although that could be a
dude who just wants to have a nice and tidy
house that he doesn't have to worry about.
Speaker 6 (14:10):
The first caption on this Twitter post, I'm pretty sure
they've made about five hundred movies like this exactly, so
this is I don't know, it's weird to even comprehend
this in your house.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I think I think it's gonna be one of those
things that's weird right up until it isn't. It's gonna
go from Wow, that's kind of strange. I could never
do that too. Wow, your robot can do that? Well,
that looks kind of cool. Yes, I would like to. Yes,
I have a robot. That's how it's gonna happens. There's
not going to be a big like learning curve for
this stuff, you know. I just think people are going
(14:44):
to once they can afford it, and once it works
for them. Let me just ask you this, grant. Do
you have an Alexa in your house?
Speaker 5 (14:50):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Okay? What does your Alexa do?
Speaker 5 (14:53):
Tells me the weather mostly and plays songs for me?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Okay, so, but did you ever have any hesitation about
getting a permanent microphone in your house?
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Yes? I did, but I was quickly shot down.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Got over it. But you got over it. When's the
last time you even thought about that? Until right now?
The adoption of those technologies has been so fast and
as weird as it might seem. I'm telling you the
if you could take off the daily labor of running
and caring for a house a one hundred percent. I
would do it in a New York minute. It would
be worth every penny I have, every single penny.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
I would love to have one to clean the litter
box so I don't have to do that. That would
be nice.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Oh, now you're starting Robbie. You hear that he needs
the litter box taking care of Robbie. There you go.
You people are terrible, absolutely terrible. On the text line,
Carol Brady did not have an OnlyFans stop it, Mandy.
We named ours Hazel Hazel, of course, being a show
from the nineteen fifties where the maid was Hazel. Mandy.
I'll bet dollars to donuts and that thing will spy
(15:51):
on you and sell your info to whom Jimbo, where
are the buyers? Mandy? Is Will Smith afraid the robot
might slap him? Maybe? Oh here's one, Mandy. Carrol Brady
was away from home having an affair with Fred McMurray
from My Three Sons. Stop at you people, Carol Brady
was a saint, a Saint Mandy. Some days parents are
(16:13):
going to figure out they haven't seen their teenager or
the robot in a few days. And now neither one
can look them in the eye.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Oh my god, they're terrible, terrible.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
And somebody said I'd like my robot to look like
Scarlett Johanson. That is an entirely different kind of robot.
And we're not talking about that today. And yes, Carol
Brady was busy growing the first ever mullet for which
she's never been credited. On that note, we'll take a
break when we get back. Jimmy Sengenberger joins us. There's
a lot of activity out around the gay Lord Rockies
(16:43):
because Donald Trump is in town. And our man on
the street Jimmy Sengenmriner, let me try that again. Jimmy
Sengenberger is out at the Gaylord Rockies and we've got
him now. So Jimmy, is Danielle still speaking? Who's speaking
right now?
Speaker 9 (16:59):
Nobody at this moment. I think we are gearing up
for the real main event to begin.
Speaker 8 (17:05):
With Donald Trump set for one o'clock.
Speaker 9 (17:07):
Danielle Durinsky wrapped up pro remarked probably about fifteen twenty
minutes ago. Was followed by Cindy Romero, the woman's whose
video went viral of trend Araguo right outside her apartment
and that was a pretty powerful moment. I think when
Cindy Ramiro's book, So what has.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Been the overall mood of the speakers give me sort
of an overview of kind of the vibe of who's
been speaking.
Speaker 9 (17:32):
It's interesting because there are kind of a twofold approaches
that they've taken.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
One is the energize we need.
Speaker 9 (17:37):
To get Donald Trump, but then also the more substantive
to the extensive speed to really get substantive position Mandy
of we need to address the southern border crisis. What's
happening in Aurora and in Colorado is unacceptable. And this
is not just imaginary Jared Bowlers, this is real. We
(17:58):
have seen both obviously, Daniel Dorinski and Cindy Romero speak,
Lauren Bolbert spoke Congressman Greg Lopez as well, who I
just spoke with a few minutes ago, and and their
themes were really hard hitting on the issues of the
immigration crisis, of what's happening with the violence and home
(18:19):
and so forth. So there's a good ten or mix
of the enthusiasm but also being something serious is going
on and we need change.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Okay, so let's talk about lines for a moment, because
now there are videos on Twitter that are just mind blowing.
I mean, thousands and thousands and thousands of people in line.
Do you have any idea how many people are still outside?
I know you're inside now, but have you heard anything
about how many are left outside?
Speaker 9 (18:49):
Periodically they have shown on the screen video of the lines,
and I've talked with folks as they've come in, saying
there are still a lot of people. Probably thousands of
people will still outside slowly trickling in.
Speaker 8 (19:03):
I gotta tell you, Mandy, I saw looks like we're
doing an intro.
Speaker 9 (19:07):
Video for Trump. Now, that's why you can hear the
enthusiasm get loud.
Speaker 8 (19:12):
Yeah, And I will tell you that both were here last.
Speaker 9 (19:15):
Night, staying overnight with ten so that they could order their.
Speaker 8 (19:20):
Cars so that they could be here like they're seeing.
Speaker 9 (19:23):
The brand opening of a movie or a concert. So
like literally people getting in line as early as five
point thirty this morning.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
That is just crazy and it's got to be super fresh.
How long did it take now you came in through
a media entrance, I'm assuming yeah I did. Okay, So,
I mean, is is security moving faster than the TSA?
Is it moving the same? Are we just talking about
so many people or is it truly moving slow?
Speaker 9 (19:53):
The security was moving pretty quickly regardless of who was
coming in, at least for my impression. But one of
the things is people will have had to go long distances.
So I think a big part of it is that
the lines are extending for miles and so getting even
to security is.
Speaker 8 (20:09):
Taking a while, which is why there's a constant.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
Trickle of folks flowing through. But I think that they're
fine with the wave bandy because they are energized and enthusiastic.
I mean, I have made the comparison, and I've done
it earlier on KOA. I've made the comparison that Trump
wants you to come to the greatest show on earth.
You will be motivated to leave and support him as
vigorously as you can. And he's a showman, so of
(20:34):
course he's gonna want more than just let me talk
to you about the issues of the day. I'm going
to entertain you. And that's why you can hear him
ad live and go off in all sorts of directions
because he's playing to the crowd that's right here, and
I think folks are anticipating what he'll be saying and
that what.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Does with you had a chance to tell I know
you talked to some supporters. They're very passionate about Donald
Trump and and the audio that you sent back there.
They just want to see him reelected. Have you found
anyone who was either there just as a plus one
or someone who was just kind of Trump curious or
you just seeing the Trump faithful there?
Speaker 9 (21:14):
I think it is faithful more than anything. My guess
is there are probably some folks who will bring friends
or a significant other who's like, you know, I'm interested,
let me see what it's about. But the folks that
I have talked to have been here specifically because they
wanted to see Trump. I mean, I guess there were
a couple of guys who were friends who said, you know,
(21:34):
I was able to come here out of convenience, but
they were doggedly like, we need Donald Trump because something
has to change for what we've been dealing with. One
guy who was talking to me of the two, who
was saying, my small business has been hurting under Kamala Harris,
and I really feel like we need Trump in office.
And that's a common theme that you're hearing from folks here.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Maybe well, I know that Trump is supposed to start
at one o'clock. We are going to roll with at
least some of that at the beginning to see how
things go. So have fun, Jimmy, try not to get
you know, mobbed on your way out, and thanks for
your coverage today.
Speaker 8 (22:12):
Yeah you bet, I'll be later, all right.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
That's Jimmy Sangenberger. Why can't I say Jimmy's last name
Jimmy singin Murger It's not that hard anyway, He's going
to be out there today and at one o'clock if
the rally starts on time, and they don't have a
lot of wiggle room because Trump has another event either
in Nevada or California I can't remember which, at like
(22:34):
six o'clock tonight, so there's there's no no room for
him to go on late because people are still outside.
So that is kind of crazy. I'm a little shocked
that that many Colorado's came out to see Donald Trump.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I know that Trump
supporters are some of the most passionate supporters out there,
but it's crazy to wait in that kind of line.
(22:56):
Since I saw the line, and by the way, if
you follow me on x dot com. You can see
the lines that we're talking about. I've retweeted some of them,
and I was thinking, I honest to goodness, I can't
think of anything that I would wait in that kind
of line for. And I grew up going to Disney World,
so I'm like line trained, you know, I see a line,
I'm like, I'll jump in the line. No big deal,
(23:17):
it's fine. So it's I'm just I don't know. Can
you guys think of anything that you'd stand in a
line of thousands of people long just to just to
have it? Mandy Grant, you guys are freaking me out.
I thought it was too who I'm already behind, But gosh, no, no,
(23:38):
you can never You can never judge what time it is,
by who which producer is in the booth. For me,
those things are not not there, Mandy. Am I the
only one not impressed with a showman and his infomercial?
That is a fair criticism. But since the television era began,
this is where we have been headed. You know, from
(23:58):
the very first televised debate where Richard Nixon won on
substance but his five o'clock shadow lost on style, we've
been headed towards showman and campaigns with the you know,
they're about as deep as a bag of Dorito's kind
of thing. And Trump's just really really good at it.
Bill Clinton was very very good at it, very good
(24:21):
at it. Barack Obama very good at it. So yeah,
I mean, he just does it bigger and flashier and
splash here, and he's unabashed about it. Donald Trump. One
of the things that I actually like about Donald Trump
is that he is who he is. He really does
not have any guile when he presents himself to people.
(24:42):
He is who he is, and I kind of admire
that and his ability to just not care what people
think and just present himself as he is. We should
all be that confident. Mandy. I would have gone to
the rally, but people got to work this time. There
is a lot of white and gray hair in that crowd.
(25:03):
You know, I'm thinking there's a lot of retired people there. Mandy.
I still in a huge line for RFK when he
came to town. Respectfully, text you gotta go look at
these lines, because there's not a snowballs chance in hell
that RFK pulled half the number of people that Trump
is pulling. Today. So, yeah, Mandy, one of my coworkers
is working at the landfill today. He said, there have
(25:25):
been cars two or three wide on either side of
eighty eighth east of Tower Road for about three hours
with people walking toward Payinia Boulevard. Do you know how
far that is?
Speaker 8 (25:38):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:38):
My god, you guys, you guys. Why is anyone really
truly enamored of Kamala Harris, says this Texter. Or are
they just faking it? Do they just hate Trump that much?
Are they just playing stupid? What is the explanation. I
don't think it's stupidity. I think it is expediency, specifically
(26:00):
political expediency, because when they realized that Joe Biden was
never gonna be able to win this race or even
really participate in the race, and they just replaced him
with Kamala Harris because she could access his campaign funds.
I think that Democrats, who really do hate Donald Trump
(26:20):
with every fiber of their being, decided that loving Kamala
if that was gonna help them win. They were, by God,
by golly, they were gonna love Kalama. Wait a minute,
love Kamala. I'm just something is wrong with my mouth.
Speaker 5 (26:36):
Steele on the traffic updates.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Oh my god, you know what. It's karma. There you go,
karma right on the program. You're absolutely right, Grant, I
should apologize, mister Steele, I apologize anyway. Let's do this.
Let's go ahead and take a break. We'll be right
back after this. Today on the blog at mandy'sblog dot com,
I have a video that both Grant and I believe
(26:58):
defies description. It is a video of Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer,
and it starts with a feminist activist podcaster in a
pink shirt accepting a chip kind of like she's getting communion,
and then the camera pans to Gretchen Whitmer holding it
(27:19):
back into Rito's wearing a camouflage Harris Wall's hat and
genuinely looking like she knows her political career might be over.
But I'd love to know your thoughts. What is actually
happening there? What would happen there? You know, you can
text me at five six six and I know, or
you can just text me I got nothing, because that's
(27:40):
honestly how I feel like. I was going to write
a snarky comment about it, because that's what I do.
On the blog, really. The blog exists just so I
can make snarky comments about stuff. But I don't know
what this is. I did ask yesterday, could this beak
Gretchen Whitmer's I shot my dog moment? You know, because
Christy knew. Christine om from South Dakota has done a really,
(28:03):
really big number on her political viability by admitting in
her autobiography that she had a hunting dog she didn't like,
so she shot it and I whatever. But could this
be Gretchen Whitmer's moment? I don't know, but I'd love
for you guys to weigh in, because I have no
idea five six to six I know, Mandy, listening to
your show while watching the live broadcast of the Trump
(28:25):
rally on KATYVR Fox thirty one. At one pm, their
live broadcast switches to kativr dot com. Trump has a
rally in Reno at five point thirty this afternoon. Andy,
I'm right now making you a cup reporter as an
excellent job right there. Excellent job, Andy, really good. We
are going to be airing some of Trump's rally coming
up after this. Mandy Whitmer should resign. Imagine the outcry
(28:48):
she did this ritual with some sort of Muslim stuff. Correct, Mandy,
she's feeding someone who identifies as a dog. I don't know.
That's kind of what I thought at first, But there's
no indication that this podcast or feminist podcaster is also
a furry. But yeah, yeah, I could you imagine if
(29:09):
Gretchen Whitmer made a mockery of some sort of a
Muslim religious ritual. You are right text her about that.
But she wouldn't do that because it's not okay to
make fun of other religions. Just Christianity to me, says
this Texter. She looks like she's smirking, not confused, except
when you get to the screen freeze at the end,
(29:31):
you can just see her face says I'm not sure
what I'm doing here. Hi, Mandy's showing up. We should
all bow down to how great camcam is. Maybe maybe
it's just weird. There's also another video on the blog today,
and it's not an ad from the campaign, but I
(29:52):
guess now there are some Democrats who have realized that
Kamala Harris has a real problem with men, just like
Donald Trump has a problem with suburban women, and kamaliers
must be pulling very very poorly when it comes to men.
So someone decided to make a video and they put
it on the TikTok and I got it on Twitter.
But I'm just gonna play the audio for just a second,
(30:14):
and you don't have to do anything. Grand I got
it of this video, and then I'll describe to you
the gentleman in this.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
I'm a man. I'm a man, I'm a man man,
and I'm man enough.
Speaker 9 (30:25):
I'm man enough to enjoy a barrel proof bourbon, man
enough to cook my steak rare, man.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Enough to deadlift five hundred and break it out of
my daughter's hair. Do you think I'm afraid to rebuild
a carburetor?
Speaker 9 (30:36):
I eat carburetors for brekfon.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Now, the ironic part about him saying I carburetors for
breakfast is he's big. The stud is fat, and the
other guys are somehow in these positions that are supposed
to make them look manly, but they don't look like
they belong there. You know, it would be like if
you drop a guy dressed in a tuxedo into mutton
(31:00):
busting contest at the rodeo. He would look ridiculous. And
then it goes on to talk about how they're real
man and that's why they're voting for commlay and it's
just you guys, you guys. It's so as the kids say, cringe.
When we get back, we will dip into the Trump
rally if it starts when we get back and see
(31:20):
what's going on out there in Aurora and do some
other stuff a little bit later. So stick around right
keep it right here on KOA. The Mandy Connell Show
is sponsored by Belle and Pollock Accident and Injury Lawyers.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
No, it's Mandy Connell and Donallama.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Got wait this guy can the niceys through prey Connal
keeping sad bab Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
To the second hour of the show in just a
few minutes. I think we are keeping an eye on
the Trump rally, Grant, are you going to monitor that
for us to have to make sure? Okay, So in
this segment, I'd love to do and ask me anything
because I'm always interested to see what you guys want
to know. Some of the responses, by the way to
(32:16):
what is Gretchen Whitmer doing here, We're really really funny
and one of them let me see here, let me
see if I can find it, what a weirdo must
be communion and she does look confused. Idiot, If you
don't know what we're talking about, you just joined us.
Go to mandy'sblog dot com and look at the video
(32:36):
of Governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer giving what appears to
be a dorito to a feminist podcaster from Canada who's
on her knees, and it seems to be a mockery
of communion. This one was the one that really wait,
hang on, hang on caption Michigan's contribution to feminist cuisine,
(33:00):
the Nacho Ship. And then there's this one deep fake
big game in February Dorito's commercial you never Know, you
never know, and uh, Whitmer is saying body of Gloria
Steinem the nacho chip of feminist seven. That's a Catholic reference,
by the way, and very funny, very very funny. I
(33:25):
saw reports that Whitmer is doing a TikTok challenge that
has been going around for a while. Count vote. Can't
vote for that, vouch for that, though? What would that
challenge be?
Speaker 10 (33:35):
Like?
Speaker 1 (33:35):
What exactly would the challenge have been? That it wasn't
her mocking a religious ceremony in the Catholic Church. I mean,
I'm just curious about that. And if it was a
TikTok challenge mocking the communion portion of the Catholic Church,
then why would.
Speaker 8 (33:54):
She do it?
Speaker 1 (33:55):
That would be bad, very bad. Hey, good news you guys.
Stormy Daniels in town as well. Stormy is actually doing
stand up tonight at the Improv, So she does a
funny show or something whatever. I'm sure it's just a coincidence. Mandy,
I got so excited. I got a text message saying
my Rapahoe County ballot had been mailed to me, even
(34:16):
though I moved out of state five years ago. But
we must not question elections. Yep, yep, this person said, Mandy,
just saw your ex post. Reminded me of the Pope's
visit to Cherry Creek State Park. Wow. Jurinsky's audio clip
on the top of the Hour News sounded completely unhinged.
(34:37):
Not a good look. This is the extreme Left Party.
These are all text messages. By the way, this is
for the Extreme Left Party. If you expand the caption,
Plank asked if Whitmer ever thought about having a post
birth abortion. It is also a slam on religion and
appeals to dominant kink. Oh, there's a lot going on
in that video, a lot. Mandy Whitmer is thinking about
(35:02):
her post political career. That TikTok was a thumbnail for
a lesbian centric website to come. I don't know about that.
I do not know if that's going to happen. Now,
I want to get this story in before we go
to Trump. As soon as he starts speaking, we will
cut to the rally. Andy, our cub reporter has now
(35:22):
shared with us that he has to be in Palo Alto,
California at five point thirty, so there's not going to
be a lot of wiggle room. Mandy. I think Gretchen
Whitberg just had a visit from the psychedelics lobbyist. Perhaps perhaps,
But I want to do this story that Nia just
had him news about this mine accident. Now you say
(35:43):
mine accident, you think of miners, But this wasn't that
kind of mine. This mine has been a tourist attraction
for years and every time we go to somewhere where
they have like a mine tour, Chuck is a well,
first of all, check is like okay, depending on how
big the mine shaft is I want to do it
because he's kind of big. And if there's a little
mind shaft, big man, little mind shaft does not work.
(36:06):
But I don't like being in a mine. I don't
like being in a place. I don't like caves. I
don't like being in a situation where I have rock
over my head. And it got me thinking this question. Great,
are there things that other people do that they think
are fun that you have tried that You're like that,
that's not fun to me anything?
Speaker 5 (36:29):
Birding?
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Okay, well, you're not old enough her bird. The birding
gene doesn't awaken until you turn fifty, right, like I mean,
maybe in some people it turns on younger, but the
hardcore birding chin lines dormant in your soul until fifty,
and then all of a sudden you must know what
every kind of bird you see is. It's no longer
(36:51):
okay to just say, hey, what a great bird. Now
you've got to be like, wait a minute, where did
that bird might be?
Speaker 6 (36:57):
Well, what's funny about that is I have found myself
googling lately on some hikes what kind of bird is that?
Speaker 5 (37:03):
I wonder what that is?
Speaker 6 (37:03):
So I think it's starting to creep in another one
for me, yeah, would be like going to an actual club.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
I have tried that many times in my youth and boo,
yeah that and I get the appeal.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
I I I definitely now am with you on that.
But when I was younger, the club appeal was always
lost to me, still until I started hanging out with
people that rolled VIP. Right, So being VIP in the
club is pretty awesome. Anything else in the club is
not awesome because you're just being jostled about by people, Right,
(37:39):
You're just gonna be Yeah, it's not well, it's you know,
you don't have to be a good dancer in the club,
though no one's looking attention to It's fine, thank you, Andy.
Andy corrected me. It's Reno at five point thirty. That's
the next uh Trump rally, so he's got to go.
But I just thought to myself, like being in a cave.
I went cave diving one time with trained cave dive professionals,
(38:01):
because you should never go cave diving if you're not
an experienced cave diver, because people die in caves all
the time. And I got about seventy five feet into
that cave and the light receded behind me and we
had flashlights, and I was like, Nope, this is a
long no way, not going to do it. No can do.
I don't like having rock over my head because I
feel like I can't escape.
Speaker 6 (38:22):
There was a you've heard of Mammoth Cave in Kentucky,
yoh yeah, yeah. So there was a chance for some
of our group to go and do like the thing
where you what's it called noodlein or something where you
go in these like tiny little crevices in the caves.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
Oh no, spelunkys.
Speaker 5 (38:38):
Spelunky yes, And I was not up for that.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Well, I'm with you, and I've tried to go into
caves and I'm like, if I can, if I can
see the cave entrance, I'm fine, like you know what
I mean, But as soon as you get into the cave,
I'm like a little bit, no, I'll I don't. I'm
not good like that. Mandy. Did you ever watch the
series on Netflix of that Thai soccer team being rescued
(39:02):
from the cave? Seriously a really cool miracle. No, because
I don't like being in a cave. I don't like
watching other people in a cave. I don't even want
to talk about cavemen, okay, and I don't want to
talk about any of that. Uh FYI, Mandy, birds aren't real.
That is so funny that you just sent that text her,
Because my husband just said, have you ever heard of
this birds to Aren't Real website? I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah,
(39:23):
the birds aren't real. I it had to have started
as a gag.
Speaker 6 (39:27):
It was a joke, and then it got serious and
the guy that created the page had to come out
and be like, Okay, guys, I really do believe birds
are real, but.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
This is jo. Have you seen the new drone technology
that looks just like birds and they just fly these
drone I mean they flap their wings, they fly over areas,
they do recon and they look like birds. They look
exactly like birds.
Speaker 5 (39:51):
I've never seen a baby pigeon.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
That's a really good point. Where are all the little
baby pigeons born? That's a really good point. Now I'm concerned.
Thanks Grant, Way to.
Speaker 5 (40:03):
Go, You're welcome.
Speaker 8 (40:05):
Way to go.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
This texter said, I took up birding in my late teens,
duck hunting, upland bird hunting. They are prettier in the hand. Well, Jimbo,
I'm not going to shoot a magpie, you know, which,
by the way, is the first bird that I learned
after I turned fifty grant, So.
Speaker 5 (40:19):
Sir, that was the first one I looked up the
other day.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
There you go. You're well on your way. Maybe you're
just an early developer. Maybe you're just a you know,
you're an early hard charger there. Maybe I don't know.
So what's happening at the rally?
Speaker 9 (40:32):
Now?
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Can you are you watching?
Speaker 6 (40:33):
Yeah, some bald headed guy just got the crowd really
amped up, talking about sending President Trump back into the
White House.
Speaker 5 (40:40):
And now there's a Fox thirty one correspondent talking.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
All right, So I missed the bald guy.
Speaker 5 (40:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (40:48):
I think he had some sort of connection to Colorado,
but I didn't hear the intro of him.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
Might have been John Fabricatory, he's running for Congress. It
could have been I don't know. I'm getting a will
be right back. So Trump is not up. When he
does come up, we will let you know. But I'm
wondering what things other people love that you've tried that.
I'm just like, no, I don't want to do that, Mandy.
(41:14):
I'm sixty six. My recurring death dream since the age
of eight is dying in an underwater cave collapse. You
know what the good news is, it is relatively easy
to avoid an underwater cave. You know, It's not like
you're gonna run into an underwater cave when you're going
to school one day or you're going to work. So
the rally is being televised on kdivr's website at kdvr
(41:38):
dot com. That's Fox thirty one and you have to
click the watch button and you go to the Fox
thirty one stream and you should be able to see
it there. We will be airing it as soon as
it becomes available. And because I just clicked on something
and not going to start over again, dang it with commercials.
But a magpie is simply a whole stein pheasant. That
(42:00):
person has got to be older than fifty.
Speaker 5 (42:02):
They know that, They already know that.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
I mean, they're advanced, they're extremely advanced. When you see
Alfred just say pigeons are real and watch his response,
what is that all about?
Speaker 6 (42:13):
That's hilarious, big al draft that we use on KOA
Sports all the time, where he just says.
Speaker 5 (42:19):
Pigeons are real.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
They are real. I had a situation once where a
coworker said made a joke about reindeer and that one
of her friends was talking about she had seen reindeer
in Alaska, and she just laughed and laughed because everybody
knows raindeer are real. And I was like, yeah, they are.
I mean they don't fly, but they're a real thing.
And I had to pull it up on the Internet
(42:42):
and show her, and she was older than I was,
and I was like, no, you got to know this stuff,
you got to know it. Mandy. Has the state mailed
out the table refunds for this year? When are they
going to send them?
Speaker 2 (42:55):
Hmmm?
Speaker 1 (42:57):
I don't know the exact answer to that. I think
they sent them back. What was the Colorado cash back?
That was right before an election, so that was two
years ago. I don't know the answer to that question.
I just don't Carlsbad Caverns. You could do this one huge,
(43:18):
beautiful colors If I can't see the exit, I don't know.
I do not know the answer to that. Hey, Mandy,
do you talk about haunted houses and which ones are
the best? This time of year, my wife and I
and two other couples went to Anderson Farms the Haunted
House last night. That was the best haunted house I've
ever seen in my life. It lasted probably forty five minutes.
It was really good, really good performers too. I am
(43:41):
a big fan of Anderson Farms and what they do
for the fall. But I gotta tell you, I hate,
absolutely hate haunted houses, just hate them. But Anthony Rodriguez
loves them. So I will make sure that we review
and talk about the haunted houses as he goes, because
I'm not gonna go. I hate being startled, really hate him.
Speaking of things people love that, I hate haunted housing,
(44:03):
but that way up there at the.
Speaker 2 (44:04):
Top of the list.
Speaker 1 (44:06):
I mean man and we used to broadcast when I
worked at a hot talk station in Florida. We used
to broadcast from Universal's Halloween Horror Nights.
Speaker 6 (44:15):
And this was.
Speaker 1 (44:17):
Late nineties, early two thousands, and Universal was the first
organization to do the Halloween horrn Nights. And when they
first did it could the performers would touch you. So
you would be walking around a corner and someone would
jump out and like touch your arm. It was terrifying.
It was the worst night of my life. I absolutely
(44:37):
hate it. I spent the entire night like a cat
on a hot tin roof, like nervous, you know, like
any minute. It was the most stressful situation that I
have ever experienced in my life, Absolutely the worst. My
grandfather says this Texter was an underground coal miner. His
father was killed in one of the worst mining disasters ever.
Both of his sons, my father being one, decided that
(45:00):
coal mining was not the way to go. College graduate
degrees to make sure they weren't there. You go absolutely
then an electric motor mechanic for heavy machinery for twenty years,
says this Texter. Cannot go on an amusement park or
carnival ride, get cold sweats just looking at the lack
of maintenance. All you people are crazy. I think about
(45:21):
that when I get on a carnival ride, but not
when I'm at an amusement park, because I mean, I
stick to the boogie amusement parks. I don't just go
to any amusement park. Mandy, it was Steven Miller, former
Trump senior advisor, that was just speaking to the crowd. Andy,
our cub reporter doing it for us again.
Speaker 5 (45:39):
Thank God for Andy.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
Seriously, I don't even know how I did a show
without Andy until right now, Mandy, I have a friend
that overheard someone asking a park ranger in Rocky Mountain
National Park at what altitude do the deer become elk stop.
Speaker 5 (45:55):
Oh my gosh, that's.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
Kind of adorable, but really, you don't it can't just
look that up ever. Tabor refund answer not for Mandy,
but from someone else. They were processed with your twenty
twenty three tax return, and if you got a state refund,
the table refund was automatically included. The separate Tabor refund
(46:17):
check was a twenty twenty two election gimmick. Yes it was,
Yes it was. Mandy did go to New Mexico yet?
Carlsbad Caverns are in southeast New Mexico. No, we're going
to New Mexico next spring for my nephew's wedding. Very
excited about that, very very about side. Mandy, do you
like sushi? If so, what do you like? Because it
doesn't ask me anything thing, grant. Are you a sushi guy? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (46:40):
I love sushi.
Speaker 1 (46:41):
I do too. Are there any sushi items that you
will not eat? Because I have to start from there
because I pretty much eat everything. Yeh sushi wise, what's.
Speaker 6 (46:48):
It called when it's just the slab of meat sosh
that's sashimi, nothing of that.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
I like tuna sashimi. I like yellowtail sashimi. I like
sam and sashimi. What I do not like is sushi octopus. Nope,
it is so tough and yeah, oh it's cold. It's
not good. I love unagi, like the smoke deal is
(47:13):
my absolute favorite thing. But I love sushi and we
eat that quite often as a matter of fact. As
a matter of fact, my husband and I regularly embarrass
ourselves by how much sushi we order. And then it
comes to the table in like a like an eighteen
ninety five galleon. Right, It's like this covers the entire table.
It's hanging off one side, you know, and then we
(47:35):
eat it all because it's just so good. It's so
easy to eat it that fast too, anyone, Mandy, I'm
a retired military officer who willfully sat in the open
doors of helicopters, went on submarines, and spent twenty years
at sea. I don't go on roller coasters and wouldn't
go down into the Molly Kathleen mind because somebody with
(47:56):
maybe a high school education put that thing together, and
the maintenance is a warrant. So yeah, yeah, Crows turn
into ravens at about ninety five hundred feet in elevation.
But I thought ravens was just another word for crow.
See I'm early in my birdwatching career, so I don't
know this yet. Are crows and ravens the same? Okay,
(48:21):
let's see here they are not. They are two different animals.
Ravens are larger, bulkier, and have heavier bills with throat hackles,
compared to crows, which are smaller with straighter, smaller bills.
Ravens also exhibit a wedge shaped tail, while crows have
fan shaped tails. In flight, ravens can be more acrobatic,
(48:42):
often sore, unlike crows. So I think that person was
just being a Weisenheimerg to see if I'd look that up.
Speaker 5 (48:48):
I think exactly. They were from it for it, so
I fell for it.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
Dang it, Mandy, have you been to all the fifty
stats I have? Mandy, your Kentucky boy Leland is hanging
out with Kyle Clark at the Trump rally. You should
really have a talk with him, he posted in on
X you know what here's the thing. If Kyle Clark
would hang out with me, I'd hang out with Kyle Clark.
We might not agree on stuff, but there's no need
to be nasty about it. And if Leland is out
(49:14):
there covering it, that's great. And if he's talking to
Kyle Glad, that's very nice, very very nice. Mandy. My
wife and I both enjoy watching sumo on the NHK channel.
Will you be going to a tournament on your upcoming trip?
I am trying to work that out now. We're trying
to find that out because that is something that really
interests me, not just the actual contest, but the entire
(49:37):
tradition of sumo wrestling is one of the things that
I want to learn about in in Japan. So yes,
I'm working on it. Mandy. What's your honest feeling on
Anthony's airhorn? You guys, I love it now.
Speaker 8 (49:51):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (49:52):
It's just another part of the show, and I love
all the little recorded ones that he has, and I
just I I don't mind it. I know it drives
some people crazy. That's Susan Witkin, who I miss all
the time that she's not here. Mandy, what's the latest
on your knee and why couldn't Reagin fix it? Okay,
(50:12):
the latest on my knee is I have a torn
meniscus and I have torn cartilage underneath my kneecap, and
part of it has to do with the fact that
I've already had regenerative therapy in that part of the
knee and this is as good as it's gonna get
just from that regenerative therapy. And then the cartilage underneath
my kneecap you just can't you can't really get to it.
(50:33):
That's the problem. So I'm currently doing physical therapy and
I have a great orthopedic surgeon, and if I need
to do that to clean the knee out a little bit,
we'll do it. And whatever. It's fine. But I don't
know how I heard it. Everybody keep saying, well, how'd
you heard it. I'm like, I'm fifty five. I probably
just stood wrong and I tore my miniscus. That's just
what happens. So there you go, Mandy. I was wondering,
(50:57):
if you listen to talk radio for entertainment, who you like?
I will be perfectly frank. I listened to ros Kaminski
in the morning when I'm on my way to work,
and I listen to either Ryan Schuling or KOA Sports
in the afternoon in the afternoon, and that's it. And
I've made it a habit years ago to not listen
(51:18):
to talk radio because I don't want somebody else's opinion
in my head. It's why I don't watch opinion television.
I don't watch any of the you know, talking head shows.
I don't watch from any channel because I don't want
someone else's voice in my head when I'm thinking about something.
So yeah, Mandy, Republicans and Democrats aside. Out of all
(51:40):
the presidential candidates from all eligible parties, which candidate would
you prefer? Given my choice, I wish that. I wish
it was Ron DeSantis, especially after his master for performance
as governor of Florida. Right now, he's just his command
(52:02):
of the issues, his entire sensibility. I long for that
kind of statesmanship. It's so far away from what we
have now. We shall see, Okay, we're gonna come back.
We'll see maybe the rally will have started after this.
We're going to take a quick time out news, traffic,
and weather. Be right back with either Donald Trump or
the rally, or a whole bunch of other stuff because
(52:23):
it's an ask me anything kind of our five six
six nine, oh text us. We'll be right back. What's
going on now, Grant's what's what's happening right now?
Speaker 6 (52:33):
They are talking about how he is going to talk
about Operation Aurora, which is apparently to remove all illegal migrants,
and then they just went back to their guy on
the scene.
Speaker 1 (52:44):
All right, then, so we'll have him when Trump starts.
We may not join him right right when he begins,
because it's a lot of Hey Aurora, thanks for being here,
thanks to this person and that person. We might jump
in right after that. So people are still going into
the event center. I'm looking at text or text not text, tweets, exes, whatever,
(53:06):
posts on x of people and they're over ten thousand
people in the room and they are ready to party.
So we got that going for us. Mandy, let's talk
about Okay, I have to do this every so often,
you guys, if you're gonna send multiple text messages, they
don't come in in order. So if you send a
(53:28):
text message and then a few minutes later you send
something that says, let me guess you thought, I don't care,
it doesn't matter when you read that I have no
idea what the other text said, so therefore I can't
answer that criticism. I don't know what you're talking about,
So there you go. Ty says Mandy, thank you for
(53:48):
continuing to keep ignorance at may my pleasure.
Speaker 9 (53:50):
Tie.
Speaker 1 (53:51):
It's what I'm here for, Mandy. Will the aurora be
visible tonight if the weather allows. I don't know, but
I will text Dave Frasier and ask him, Mandy, do
moose turn into ravens at sea level? Not currently, Mandy.
I was painting a sign on Trailridge Road in nineteen
seventy one which explained what the snow fences were and
their function across the valley. A tourist came up and said, hey,
(54:14):
what are those fences for? The ranger who was supervising
my work looked at her and said, ma'am, the deer
in the elk don't get along, so we got to
separate him. There you go. The difference says this texture
between a raven and a crow. A crow has sixteen
pinion feathers, a raven has seventeen. So it's a matter
of opinion, Ah, we say, Tom Sek Sam Elliott ticket
(54:39):
in twenty twenty four. You know what, I bet a
lot more people will watch those speeches we got Tom
Sellick and Sam. I'm just going to be perfectly honest.
It would have to take the right centagenarian for me
to consider someone in their seventies again at this stage
in the game, because seeing what's happened to President Joe
(55:02):
Biden and worrying about, you know, any potential decline for
potential President Donald Trump. I don't want to have that anymore.
I don't want to worry about that anymore. Mandy, what
podcast do you listen to today? On the blog? I
actually have a link. My brother has a really good podcast.
It's one of the top rated podcast in the Apple listings.
(55:24):
It's called Escaping the Drift. And I put he does
like a longer weekly with a guest that are really good,
and then he does he just started doing this the
weekly drop and this one our Resilience is really really good.
And you want to learn about your siblings listen to
their podcast? Does your brother listen to your podcast? Grant?
Speaker 5 (55:42):
He does?
Speaker 1 (55:44):
Okay, I want you to ask your brother specifically, what
have you learned about me from listening to my podcast
that you didn't know.
Speaker 5 (55:51):
That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (55:52):
It's really interesting because you say things because you haven't
lived with your brother and your your mom and dad
and how many years now, right, So you've had all
of these years as an adult, all of these experiences
as an adult, and they're probably hearing about a lot
of them for the first time when you relay them
on your podcast. It's very, very interesting. I also listened
to Michelle Zelner's Better Beings podcast, which is really good,
(56:15):
all about health and wellness, and those are the only
two that I really make sure that I dip into
you on a regular basis. I just don't listen to
a lot of spoken word. It'sn't ask me anything kind
of segment. You guys, you can text me your questions.
Five six six nine nine zero. Okay, I'm gonna paraphrase
this question, Nandy, who do you find more attractive? Vance
(56:35):
or Tom Selleck? Hands down, Tom Sellick jd Vance just
looked really hot at the debate, so ann he's a politician.
So ultimately, Mandy, a group of crows is called a murder?
What is a group of ravens called, hmmm, a rave?
A rave of ravens. That'd be kind of cool. Grant,
(56:59):
look up what a pack of ravens are called?
Speaker 5 (57:02):
Quick, I like you says it's an unkindness.
Speaker 1 (57:06):
An unkindness of ravens. That's awesome. How where did those
come from? I mean, where where did that come from?
What was that again, Grant, I already forgot unkindness and
unkindness of ravens. Who looked at a group of ravens
and went, oh, that's that's quite the unkindness.
Speaker 6 (57:27):
They say In practice, it's most people use a more
generic flock, but a collective.
Speaker 5 (57:32):
Now, a group of ravens is unkindness.
Speaker 1 (57:35):
One of my favorite books that I read to baby
Q when she was little was a book on animal
like groups of animals, and it was fascinating.
Speaker 9 (57:43):
Some of them.
Speaker 1 (57:44):
I wish I could remember them now, but my mind
is like a sieve, so you know, you're not going
to get much out of that. But that one's really interesting. Mandy.
I like your new theme song, but it needs more
cow bell. Possibly a conspiracy of ravens. Mandy, do you
still do a podcast? We have put the Ladies Hit
Chat Club to bed. It became really difficult to get
(58:04):
everybody together in the same place, but we still podcast
from my show every day. But I've been thinking about
doing something else with a friend of mine that I'll
tell you about at a later date. So no, But
how about that answer, Mandy PC or mac PC all
the way? Macintosh confuses me. I hate my iPad. I
(58:26):
just I hate it. Grant, You're an Apple person, aren't you.
Speaker 6 (58:29):
Yeah, but I just found out that my MacBook is
so old that it is considered obsolete.
Speaker 9 (58:35):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (58:35):
I was gonna give you a how old is it?
And then you can say it's considered obsolete.
Speaker 6 (58:40):
Yeah, so I'm gonna have to upgrade. I don't know
if it's going to be MAC or PC this time around.
Speaker 1 (58:45):
Well, I mean I should be a MacPerson because I
work in audio, right, Like, because I do a lot
of audio editing. I have a I use Adobe Audition
on my you know, my PC here, But apparently everything
is better on a Mac when you edit video or audio.
But I don't want to learn something new. Is that wrong?
I'm just like I'm out of time and energy to
(59:07):
learn something new and complicated, you know, Like I people
that say, oh, I went to medical school when I
was fifty, I was like, oh God, by the time
I'm fifty I'm like, okay, if it takes me more
than ten minutes, I just don't have that kind of time.
I really don't. So yeah, Tom Selleck reportedly is now
three hundred and fifty pounds, and so, and what what
(59:29):
is your problem? Text or passive aggressive? I don't care.
Mandy is a radio personality? Does ephemera creep you out?
Ephemera fem or what is that?
Speaker 9 (59:43):
What is that?
Speaker 5 (59:43):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (59:44):
Just an update on the rally. There seems to be
some sort of Trump hype video power the hype.
Speaker 1 (59:50):
Is going to walk out, Okay, so as soon now
the walkout okay, Okay, So let's just say the Trump
hype video is playing right now at one forty one. Okay,
I think he doesn't start speaking for at least five minutes,
but he comes out. He's gonna come out, but it's
gonna take him five minutes to actually enter the room.
Speaker 6 (01:00:07):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
Ephemera things that exist or used or enjoyed for only
a short time. You know, that used to be radio,
but now it's not. Now a podcast is forever. And
sometimes I don't like that. Right, Sometimes when a show
doesn't go the way I wanted to, I wish that
I could make it go away. I wish that it
(01:00:27):
was a one off, that I never had to hear
it again. But that's not what happens now. It just doesn't.
A group of flamingos is called a flamboyance. Is it
a podcast or just a rebroadcast of your show? How
much content do you want me to make? Texter good gravy, Mandy?
Does I heart pay for your gas when they appear
on your show, The Yogi the Future?
Speaker 9 (01:00:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
No, they should oh pay for your guests. No, we
don't pay for guests. We're far too cheap for that.
So what you're saying is we should listen to the radio.
I don't know what I said there. Ray Lewis Ravens
would just be murderers. Oh ooh, remember ray Lewis did
not kill those people, Mandy. My wife and I sometimes
(01:01:12):
make up names for groups of things. My favorite a
shuffle of zombies and an awkward of teenagers.
Speaker 5 (01:01:18):
Oh my god, I love that.
Speaker 1 (01:01:20):
An awkward of teenagers, Texter, you are a Texter of
the day. That was fantastic, Absolutely fantastic, Mandy. I used
to work at the zoo. We had a normal colored
leopard female who had two cubs with a melanistic black male.
The cubs were melanistic, but were displayed with the mom.
(01:01:40):
We had multiple guests asked what age the cubs developed spots? Now,
that is not a crazy question. That's not a crazy
question because like deer, they have spots when they're born,
and then they their coat changes. So that's not quite
as silly as if the deer turned into elks over
a certain height. Okay, we're really getting into the deep
(01:02:01):
questions now, Mandy, do women pee in the shower too?
I'm just gonna say yes. A big bunch of lady
bugs is called a loveliness that's adorable. A group of
ravens is called a football team, a big bunch of Mandy,
Are you still on KOA Grant? Are we still on
the air?
Speaker 5 (01:02:18):
I believe so?
Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
Okay, then I am still on KOA. The thing? What again?
If you send more than one text, they don't come together.
You guys, Mandy, why aren't you syndicated? I don't know.
I mean, I could lie to you. I have my
suspicions of why. But you know what, let me address
this for just a second, because really, when I first
(01:02:40):
started my radio career, everybody wants to be syndicated. Right,
Everybody's like, oh, oh, I want to be syndicated someday,
and I wanted that for a very long time. But
I prefer having a show where I can talk about
local issues because I feel like I have more value
to my immediate community if I can talk about things
(01:03:01):
that are happening in the community that need to be addressed, right,
I can I serve I think a greater purpose. And
when you're syndicated, you can't do that. You just can't.
You can't, you know, do that. So it's it's it's
I'm very happy where I am, very happy where I
am now. I would like to see uh more women
(01:03:24):
get opportunities in the syndication field. That would be nice,
because God knows there isn't any now anyway. A group
of owls is called a parliament, A group of hippos
is called a bloat mandy. A group of teen girls
is a huff that's hilarious.
Speaker 5 (01:03:41):
By the way, Trump currently singing along to God Bless
the US.
Speaker 1 (01:03:45):
Okay, okay, is he doing the arm thing back and forth?
Speaker 5 (01:03:48):
No, just more of a subtle head nod bous, just.
Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
A kind of a groove Tan but not a orange
he's giving.
Speaker 5 (01:03:56):
Up really is a little orange, not as much as
in the past.
Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
Yeah, a group of snowboarders should be called a flop.
How about that? Grant your snowboarder or you're a skier.
Speaker 5 (01:04:08):
I'm a skier. Don't put me in there with a snowboarder.
Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
Well, now you know, when they're skiing down the mountain,
you be like, look at that flop of snowboarders and
do it with disdain. How can I tell How can
I best tell my wife of twenty seven years how
much I love her? I'm not so eloquent. You know
what you can tell your wife of twenty seven years
how much you love her. You stop on the way
home today and you get some flowers, and you walk
in with those flowers, and your wife looks at you
(01:04:33):
and says, what did you do wrong? You say, I
realized I had not done anything in the in the
last little bit to tell you how much I love you.
And if all of these flowers in the world were
in this room, it would not be as much as
I love you. I just wanted you to know. And
that's it, y'all. Didn't have to be fancy.
Speaker 5 (01:04:50):
Trump has started speaking.
Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
Just okay, let's go ahead. N By the way, five minutes.
This is live from the Trump rally. We we are back.
You know, we are not going to play the entire thing.
I don't know how long he's going to go. It's
Donald Trump. It could go all day. I apologize if
you've been listening here. I know that there are places
to see it on Facebook that you can stream it,
(01:05:13):
so I hope you can pick up the rest of it.
But I want to hear from you, guys. I got
an interesting text message just now that says, let me
see here, let me find it. This speech is awesome.
And I don't even like Trump, I'm voting for him,
so I'd love to know your thoughts about this speech.
I think we were just getting to the good part
(01:05:34):
and then he handed it over to someone else, and
I'm sure her commentary was going to be amazing. But
ultimately we are going to go. We're going to go
and find out from you what you'd like to hear.
I'm looking at stuff. Let's just say there's some non
Trump fans in the audience. Does Trump understand that it
was a Republican who tried to keep him off the ballot? Yes,
(01:05:56):
indeedy it was. It was a group of Republicans and
independence and not Jared Poulis. But hey, you know what
details details right, Let's not get meyerd down to the details. So, yeah,
we're gonna do this. We're gonna take a time out,
we'll be back. I've got a quick interview with the
folks from Save a Soldier lined up, and then for
the rest of the show, we're going to get your reaction.
(01:06:18):
We'll do that next. Give me Dan and Kim, Dan
of course from Support a Soldier, a wonderful organization that
I have been very acquainted with over the years. And Kim,
who is also going to be doing a fundraiser tomorrow.
How are you guys today?
Speaker 9 (01:06:36):
Really good?
Speaker 10 (01:06:37):
Mandy, how are you doing?
Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
Do an excellent now, Kim, you are planning a fun
event for tomorrow, and that is what not Yes tomorrow.
Speaker 8 (01:06:47):
Yes, it is tomorrow.
Speaker 10 (01:06:48):
It is a cornhole tournament at a local brewery in
historical Georgetown, Guinela's Pass Brewery. And it'll be, like I said,
a cornhole tournament. We have registrations starting at eleven am,
thirty five dollars a person. We're expecting quite a few
teams to be up here, and we've got the boards
(01:07:10):
all set up on a separate little area and in
the beer garden, and they'll be pizza and beer. There's
a restaurant, so in a lot of raffles. We have
a big raffles silent auction and we're trying to raise
as much money as we can or Support a Soldier,
So we need everybody who can.
Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
To come out.
Speaker 1 (01:07:31):
I put all the information on the blog and we'll
give it out one more time at the end of
the interview. But Support a Soldier is a wonderful organization
that helps buy things that are non lethal to support
our men and women serving in the military. And it
could be anything from new sunglasses for people serving in
combat zones or helping train dogs that will go with
(01:07:53):
the soldiers when they deploy. I mean, there's so many
different needs, all of them non lethal, and Support a
Soldier is one of the organizations that supplies those or
those items, and they have far more needs than they
have donations. So this is a great way to actually
support our men and women serving in harms. Way right now,
Kim again, give the details for me one more time.
Speaker 10 (01:08:15):
Okay. The tournament is at Guanola Pass Brewery at five
oh one Rose Streets in Guanola, I'm sorry, in Georgetown,
and so it's right off the Highway seventy. It's a
small little town and so it'll be thirty.
Speaker 9 (01:08:32):
Five dollars a person.
Speaker 8 (01:08:33):
If you have a team come up.
Speaker 1 (01:08:36):
Two people on the team will.
Speaker 10 (01:08:37):
Have a registration.
Speaker 9 (01:08:39):
It is first come for serve.
Speaker 10 (01:08:41):
We're getting a lot of response and then we will
start the tournament at noon and we have some amazing
raffle and silent auction prizes that I think will be
very attractive to and Dan we'll have a boost set
up for everybody to come visit to hopefully give some more,
don't We also for any of your listeners if you
(01:09:03):
go to support at soldier dot com, there's a little
area to do a donation if you can't make it up.
Speaker 8 (01:09:10):
All right, But it's a beautiful to day, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:09:13):
Kim, I appreciate it. I don't have a lot of
time today just because we the Trump rally is going
on and all of that stuff, but I wanted to
let people know and I hope you guys have an
amazing event tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (01:09:24):
And by the way, Mandy, this is Dan Reed and
you know, I've been doing this a while and you
and I've known each other for a long time, so
I just want to say I know you're busy, but
thank you all. Thank you very much for just giving
us the slot. It's fantastic that you would do that,
and from all of us that Support a Soldier, we
can't thank you enough for just giving us a little airtime.
Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
Dan. I appreciate it because I know you guys are
doing a lot and you've got so many needs, and
you know, the donations probably are never going to keep
up with a number of soldiers who are reaching out
and asking for stuff. So I appreciate what you do, Dan.
Speaker 7 (01:09:55):
And remember ninety percent or more of what is donated
goes to the troops. We have no salaries, we've got
no company cars, no bricks and sticks, and we don't
do Las Vegas rallies, so everything you give pretty much
goes straight to the people that made it.
Speaker 1 (01:10:10):
All right, Dan, I also put a link on the
blog to learn more about Support a Soldier and find
out more about the cornhole tournament. Guys, thank you for
joining me today.
Speaker 10 (01:10:19):
Thank you, Mandy, thanks so much.
Speaker 1 (01:10:21):
Have a great day you too. All Right, got a
lot of stuff on the It's really fascinating to me
what kind of stuff I see on the text line.
We all just listened to the same speech, right. Somebody
said he's done already. I couldn't listen. No, guys, we
took about forty minutes of it, and then we're gonna
go ahead and go through the rest of the show
(01:10:41):
really quickly. I got you suck put him back on
fake news. Then I have the speech is great, he
did a wonderful job. Then I have how can he
say he comes here a lot when he really doesn't
and he really went after Polis, which is deserved. Voting
is an illusion. Okay, this one, he sounds like an
old man sending suit back at a deli. Nice Seinfeld reference.
(01:11:05):
Well played this. The pos can hardly say the word Aurora.
It sounds a lot like you can't talk in fat.
That's so kind, Texter, that is so kind. I wish
Trump would say it's parts of Aurora, not the whole city,
and to not let it spread to all of Aurora
and beyond. That's a much more effective message. This one says,
(01:11:28):
I'm now voting for Trump. I just look dislike DEM's
so much. I have no choice but to vote for him.
Remember Polis at the convention. He lies too. What can
we say about politicians? This is my favorite. I'm sure
you and your soldier, your husband the soldier, well, I'm
sure you and your husband the soldier were just fine.
(01:11:50):
And Arlington thumbs up, smiling, shucking and driving over a
soldier's grave. You people are sick, followed by you have
no respect for the military because Trump has no respect
for the military. I have a lot of respect for
the military. I'm married into it. My son is a veteran.
But you know, if you're unhinged about something like that,
(01:12:10):
I'm sorry it offended your sensibilities. If you served in
the military, you probably understand that a lot of soldiers
would feel happy that someone cared enough to come to
the grave of their child that was killed because of
government in competence. So yeah, there you go, Mandy. It's
just lies. It's it's lies, not just details. He rambles
(01:12:34):
and lies, it's what he does. How can anyone take
him seriously? I imagine, on top of everything else, you're
a big QAnon follower. You actually believe that people eat
babies and drink blood. Can a people on you.
Speaker 9 (01:12:52):
That.
Speaker 1 (01:12:52):
Wait, yeah, I read it right. No, I'm I'm not
a QAnon follower. I'm not a big conspiracy theory person.
But you guys are really coming at me today with
stuff that you think is really gonna hurt. But I
got news for you. It doesn't hurt at all. Anonymous
(01:13:12):
person behind a keyboard, Yeah, couldn't take Trump for too long.
Sounds like a playground bully, Mandy. I'm just sad that
these two people are all we have to choose from. That,
my friend, is the most accurate statement of the day.
We're going to take a time out here, be back
to wrap things up of the day, all that good stuff.
(01:13:33):
When we get back, a lot of you reacting in
shock at some of the mean things that come over
the text line. You guys, it is I provide an
important service for people, and that is people that are
having a bad day or a bad life, or they
have some measure of loathing about the world or themselves.
(01:13:55):
It makes them feel better to say nasty things to me,
and that helps them. Then I'm all for it because
it does not affect me. And when I say that,
I'm not just saying that, I mean I'm really I've
had as Louis say, in the South, there's a saying
in the South, I've been called worse by better, And
so that's how I look at it. And I figure,
(01:14:15):
if they type out the nasty thing they type out,
and for just a little moment in time, it gives
them some measure of happiness, then who am I to complain? Really?
You know, come on, anyway, who do we have for
of the day today? Grant the one and only the
Ryan Edwards. Mister Ryan Edwards playing at a distinct advantage
(01:14:38):
because I'm broadcasting from Southern Command.
Speaker 3 (01:14:41):
Oh, here we go.
Speaker 1 (01:14:42):
Yeah, no, you're gonna have to wait. That's the deal.
Now we've set a precedent.
Speaker 5 (01:14:46):
I don't like all these is nearly as bad for
you as it was for me. But that's fine, Okay,
it's fine.
Speaker 1 (01:14:53):
Okay, No, it's fine, it's fright.
Speaker 5 (01:14:54):
It's good for the goose.
Speaker 1 (01:14:56):
Okay, because now it's time for the most exciting segment
on the radio, on the skuy the world of the day.
All right, what is our dad joke of the day? Please,
grants dad joke of the day. I adopted a dog
from a blacksmith. As soon as I brought him home,
he made a bolt for the door. Oh okay, I
(01:15:19):
like that one. That was really good. What is our
word of the day, Please grant.
Speaker 5 (01:15:23):
Word of the day. I think you both will get scapegoat.
Speaker 1 (01:15:27):
You know, escape scapegoat. Oh, that's somebody that's blamed for
something they didn't do.
Speaker 5 (01:15:32):
Yes, correct.
Speaker 6 (01:15:32):
A scapegoat is a person who is unfairly blamed for
something others have done.
Speaker 1 (01:15:37):
All right. Today's trivia question is what is a rum
fustian r u m f us t I a n
rum fustian. I don't know what this is. I think
it's gonna see someone who sleeps really well.
Speaker 5 (01:15:51):
