I squished it in there. You know how when you're at.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Thanksgiving and you're doing buffet style at Thanksgiving and you
you begin to realize that you've over delivered on some
of these items on your plate, and there's like seventeen
things that you haven't even gotten to yet, and your
plate's kind of full, and then you have to strategize
what can touch what right, Like what you can't just
really nilly throw sweet potatoes next to like, you know,

(01:14):
spinach sou fla or something like that. You cannot do that.
You can no, No, I just shoved something else into.

Please don't do these things at Christmas. Pop Tart's Bowl
is kind of ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Where are the.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Best lights in Colorado? Middle class luxuries that save money?
What you might look like with not enough sleep, get
white pilled to shrink government. Those are the headlines on
the blog at mandy'sblog dot com, and as you can see,
there is a veritable cornicopia of topics and items on
today's blog. Lots and lots and lots. I'm a little lightheaded.

(03:27):
My favorite video on today's blog is of the pop
Tart Bowl trophy. Now, first of all, you know I
don't mean to well, let me just put on my
granny hat for a minute. Back in my day, the
Bowl games were the Copper Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, the
Orange Bowl that was, you know, things like that, the
Gator Bowl. Now they're all sponsored with dumb names like

(03:51):
the pop Tart Bowl. The soup Dog Bowl is a thing. Okay,
wait a minute, wait a minute, the Snoop Dog Bowl.
I mean, don't get me wrong. I think the stoop
Dog has become a national treasure, right, he really has,
But I'm not. That's just a terrible name for a
bowl game.

Speaker 5 (04:11):
You forgot the full name, by the way, it is
the Snoop Dog excuse me, the Snoop dogg Arizona Bowl
presented by Gin and Juice, by Dre and Snoop.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Huh uh huh.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
And you absolutely just made my point. That's how you
do business. Business is that's horrible. That's absolutely horrible. I
mean there's just nothing about that that's good. Nothing and
as fun as I think pop tarts are in reality,
And actually, we never really really.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Had pop tarts.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
My mom was that was that was a luxury that
my mom was like, No, Now we were allowed to
have Little Debbie Swiss cake rolls, which were awesome, but
we didn't really have a lot of pop tarts. We
have pop Tart kid, of.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Course, and you are.

Speaker 5 (04:57):
I mean this the blasphemy in ripping on the the
coolest trophy ever in sports and not saying something because
I love the Stanley Cup.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Well, this trophy has a lot going for it. It
cannot only sit on your shelf and look beautiful. If
you win the pop Tart Bowl trophy, you can then
throw a couple of pop tarts in it and toast
them because it has an actual toaster at the top
of the trophy for the pop Tarts Bowl, do you
have to plug it in? I assume I'm gonna, I
would think so. There's no way to have a toast

(05:27):
battery powered, I know, I mean that can't be very strong.
Then oh, if you have one of those big square
batteries that you use for stuff. I don't know what
you use those form, but stuff, because they're like a car,
little car battery in there plug in toaster. I mean,
we've just fallen so so far.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
I thing is awesome, so so far.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
And it looks like during the presser they essentially put
in a couple of pop tarts, put down the thing
in the trophy, continued on with the presser, and then whenever,
just right in the middle.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Oh look at that. We look at nice warm pop.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Tarts for everybody. I mean, I see the genius in
marketing here. But I just feel like between that and
the fact that there are going to be teams that
are five and seven in bowl games this year, and
you have all of these kids entering the portal and
now they're not playing in the bowl game, so you
don't even have the same team playing in the bowl
game that you had playing in the regular season.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
I just think bulls, both bulls are about to be over.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
I just feel like we're destroying the bowl system right now.
We're kind of watching it. First of all, we expanded
it way too much. It became everybody gets a bowl game,
right Oh oh you're five and seven, you can barely
scored exactly, way too many participation bowls. I just think
we're walking, we're seeing it. We're seeing it die right
before us.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Did you hear the ching in the background. That's why
they're going.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
I know, that's why they're so many, because everyone wants
a piece, I know, off the pop tart from the
pop Tart trophy.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
Maybe it's a bowl, like smoking a bowl. Okay, so
is the entire scene smoking off the top for the
Snoop Dogg Bowl.

Speaker 5 (06:59):
I ain't the winner of the Snoop Dogg Bowl gets
the really good batch of the ganja of the MJ.
The losing gets like the skunk weed. You have to
smoke the skunk weed. You are forced to smoke the
worst kind. And again I have no idea. What I'm
saying is I've never smoked weeds, so you know, I
don't know if there is a such thing as like
really bad weed.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
But the bad losing team has to smoke the worst
kind of weed. This is the This text.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Really just made me laugh quite quite heartily. And it
is I thought you were talking about pop tarts in
a bowl mixed with question mark sounds gross. No, an
actual football bowl game is the pop Tarts Bowl game.
So this Snoop is.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Not a national treasure.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
He's a copating, drug addicted criminal and a bad influence
on our children. But he's also really really funny. Yeah,
and someone's grandpa. And he has the Snoop Dogg motivational
song for kids.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
What's that called?

Speaker 5 (07:55):
I Need you?

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Oh you've never heard it? Google the what google right now?

Speaker 3 (07:59):
Snoop Dogg Motivation song for Kids It's the cutest little
song you ever heard in your life. It's the cutest
thing ever. He is an imperfect man. We are all
imperfect people.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
And as a matter of that is it affirmation.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
You gotta play this. There's no curse words in it.
It's so cute and this is you know, he's a
complex character and this is part of a good in
Snoop Dogg. He wrote this song for his grandkids, Like
that is the cutest thing. He wanted to do a
song for his grandkids. And that's what that is, the
affirmation song people can change.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Well, I hope here's the thing.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
I think he probably still is not super fond of cops.
I know he doesn't like conservatives, so in theory, I
should be his mortal enemy. But I'm just done being
mortal enemies.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
You can't, you can't.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
I'm done being mortal enemies with people over politics. Just
really really uh done with with like being on the
other side where I'm supposed to. I I just can't anymore.
I don't care if he hates me.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
I don't hate him.

Speaker 5 (08:56):
Casey wants some brunch? What did I say that out loud?
It's a do you want some brunch. Oh no, wait,
are cases listeners give it a second?

Speaker 2 (09:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
I know it's I'm old and my brain is like
a sith.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
On social media and there's yeah, got that brunch.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Yes, you know what we should We should extend the
hand of warmth. I know we tried at the RNC.
We tried, yes, but we also were trying in a
public way. Maybe you should behind the scenes, we should
reach out and and issue a daytaunt.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
No one was around. That was kind of private, no,
but we.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Were asking him to come on the show, so that
would have been a public form.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
So maybe we should reach out and.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Say, hey, this is actually I mean, it does entertain
me though, that's the thing.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
It's kind of fun.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
And I know that he doesn't really care. I just
don't think he cares either, so it's it's just kind
of entertaining for me. It's all there, you go, a
bunch olive branch.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
We'll see what we can do about that. I like it.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
I like it a lot. Do we only have to
eat all of us though? Or can we eat other stuff?

Speaker 2 (10:06):
You can eat other stuff?

Speaker 3 (10:07):
Okay, okay, coming up in about fifteen minutes or so,
we're going to talk to Fox thirty one's Dave Frasier.
He's our weather guy. I've already got some weather questions,
although you guys, if you text them too early, they
may disappear by the time he comes on the show.
So I'm doing a quick copy and paste here of
that one to make sure it doesn't disappear. But you

(10:29):
can also email me Mandy at Mandy Coddle at iHeartMedia
dot com.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
You can throw in the word Dave in the text.
That way we can search. It would be great. That
would be really really good. And Dave Lowan's gonna get
really confused later. That'll be fine.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
I mean, Dave, you know, he's a big, strong boy.
He can handle that. It'll be okay. Let's do the blog.
Shall we find it at mandy'sblog dot com. Look for
the headline twelve eighteen twenty four blogs.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
We did the blog? Did we? We did the blog? Oh?

Speaker 1 (10:58):
My god?

Speaker 2 (10:59):
I did? No, You're right, It's like, hold on, like,
I know he did it, Remember how I told you?

Speaker 3 (11:05):
And I've already checked out and tomorrow we don't have
a show, so I'm like, I literally a rod. Can
you see my one foot already out?

Speaker 2 (11:13):
The door. Can you see it? It's amazing.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
I stretch armstrong legs right now to get my one
foot out the door because I'm excited.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
It's Christmas. I man, I should just let you do it.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
You really should have, and then it'll be confused everybody,
including my well, what happened and said that.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
As soon as I.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Started talking and I read that line, I was like,
you know, I'm pretty sure already did this on the program.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
Today, gentlemen of the many Connell audience, that was a
missed opportunity.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
Correct Now, coming up at one o'clock, we have a
guy named Kirk Couchman. He's gonna come on to talk
about the frustrations of what is happening right now in Washington,
DC with the continuing Resolution being that's going to be
shoved through the House, and Kurt's.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Gonna come on.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
We're gonna talk about if there's any real will in
DC right now to do anything about the deficit, anything meaningful.
You know, I can't remember who it was, and maybe
it was Milton Friedman. I can't remember who said it,
but they said.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
I have a problem.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
I have a solution for the problem of deficit spending,
and that is any member of Congress that passes a
budget that ends up in deficit spending shall not be
eligible to run for reelection. They would balance the budget
in a New York minute. It would happen so fast
it would be staggering. But of course that'll never happen.

(12:36):
And right now we're seeing the latest bit of theater
in DC about it.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
And after we talked to Dave Frasier.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
In the segment after that, I'm going to play for
you my favorite congressman. No offense to any of our
great congress people here from Colorado, but Congressman Thomas Massey
at it again. He reposted a video that he initially
posted three months ago with a perfectly laid out tale
of what was going to happen in December. That is

(13:05):
happening exactly as he said it exactly. So i'll play
that a little bit later and there we're going to
talk to Kirk Couschman and then you know, I am
not a fan of Frontier. They have created problems for
me in the past, but I do know that they
are a great low cost option if you don't care
about getting there when you're supposed to get there. I mean,

(13:26):
they've gotten a lot better. But nonetheless, they're offering this
deal two hundred and ninety nine dollars and for that
you get the opportunity to book flights for only the
cost of taxes and fees, which are not very much.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
There are limitations.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
You can only book the day before or ten days
in advance internationally, and it's really kind of a stand
like you're kind of like getting the scraps of the
seating right. So, but it's only two ninety nine for
the whole year, And I thought, I know, my friend
Amy did this last year, and so I thought, well,
I'm going to see if Amy can come on the
show and talk about her experience with this program in

(14:03):
case you were thinking about doing it. But if the
cost of airfare is something that keeps you from being
able to go see family, or go see friends, or
just you know, go somewhere, then this.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Might be a good option for you.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
So we're going to talk to her about it, how
it's worked for her and her husband. Spoiler alert, they
already bought it again this year, So obviously there was
some you know, some goodness in the entire offer. Now,
got a lot of stuff on the blog today, some
of it is political, some of it is not.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
But I want to direct your attention to.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
This story about those and I keep saying imaginary gangs.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
And if you're new to this trendy.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
Ragua story in Aurora, the Venezuelan gang story in Aurora,
I want to bring you up to speed. When Aura
City Councilwoman Danielle Dorinsky was trying to raise the alarm
about these gangs in these apartments, specifically in these apartment complexes,
no one believed her, no one would work with her,

(15:02):
and our governor went so far as to say that
these gangs and the gang activity that she was hearing
about from constituents were figments of her imagination. Well, fast
forward to now, we now see that this is not
a figment of anyone's imagination. As police have arrested it
was like fourteen and then they arrested some more people

(15:26):
in the kidnapping of two also illegal immigrants in one
of these complexes. And my frustration up to this point
with Aurora and the Aurora Police Department has been the
wishy washy way that they have responded. Well, as they say,
there's a new chief in town, and I like this guy.

(15:47):
I mean, I like this guy. Listen to this. Aurora
Police Chief Todd Chamberlain said, there is a high assumption
TDA gang members are responsible for crimes against two tenants
late Monday night and into Tuesday morning, but the police
department has not been able to confirm the gang affiliation
of any suspects. But this is what the police chief said. Yeah,

(16:10):
I'm fired up. Something is seriously wrong and we're going
to try and fix it as best we can, and
we have been. And then he also said, the past
is the past, but I can tell you what we're
doing now. We have set a course of proactive law
enforcement to hold those accountable. Holy macaroni, you guys, what

(16:30):
a nice refreshing breeze of common sense that is. Because
the first step to fighting crime effectively, in my view,
is making it very clear that you are going to
be fighting crime and you're going to be doing so effectively,
because then you've put the people on notice that they

(16:52):
are no longer going to be tolerated in your city
in any way, shape or form, and perhaps they pick
up stakes and move to Denver. Get me wrong, Denver.
I don't wish this upon you. I don't wish that
you know illegal immigrant gangs from Venezuela coming to Denver
and start kidnapping people in apartment complexes there.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
That is not what I want to have happened.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
However, the actions of the mayor of Denver have been
significant in terms of welcoming people to our city that
are here to do horrible things. So if those people
end up coming to Denver, even though again I don't
wish for you to have bad things happen in the
city of Denver, but if they do, at least they

(17:36):
would be in the place that brought so many of
them to the Denver metro area in the first place,
and there would be some sort of I don't know,
karma in that at least, And I don't see the
same backbone coming from the city of Denver that I'm
now seeing coming from the city of Aurora.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
And I'm glad. I'm thrilled for a war.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
I'm thrilled for the illegal immigrants who have been victimized
by these gang members. And that's the irony, isn't it.
They're not victimizing citizens, They're victimizing people who are here illegally.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Trying to get status.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
But nonetheless, the very people that you know we've allowed
to walk over the southern border out of compassion, are
now being victimized by others that got in.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
By that same means.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Uh, Mandy, he is just saying what everyone wants to Aurora,
Pede won't do Jack. I have to believe until proven otherwise,
that this chief is going to follow through and do
the things that he says he's going to do. Until
proven otherwise, everybody deserves that opportunity. He's been chief for
like a month maybe two, so he just got here,

(18:47):
and at least the rhetoric is good. Okay, the prior administrations,
the rhetoric was namby Pamby.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
It was wishy washy.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
It was oh, we're so sorry for everyone we've ever rod.
I mean man, it was awful, absolutely awful. So yeah,
there are no Venezuelan gangs, and Aurora says this text
according to our governor Lol. Yes, indeed, the issue is

(19:19):
that they Oh no, that's about the budget, Sorry about that.
I have not been into Snoop Dogg's stash.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Stop it.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
That would be cool, just come in here. Just no,
I'm just kidding. That would not be cool. It would
not be cool. Kids would not be cool when we
get back in just a moment. We're gonna talk to
Dave Fraser. We're gonna find out if there's any chance
of us having a white Christmas.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
I mean, probably not.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
We'll just find out next. I also have a couple
of weather questions. If you want to send your weather questions,
now's the time on our Common Spirit Health text line.
Just send them Text them to five six six nine,
oh and we'll.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Be right back. Dave Fraser.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
It's our last visit for the year today.

Speaker 6 (20:03):
Yeah, yeah, I just as day Rob that to confirm.
I kind of figured out with both Christmas and New
Year's falling on Wednesday, So let's enjoy it today. By
the way, happy one hundreds. What a great institution.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
We do deserve to be institutionalized over here at KOA,
and so we appreciate the warmwhiches on our hundredth birthday.
All right, first off, let's.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Just cut to the chase.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
What are our chances for a white Christmas?

Speaker 6 (20:29):
Yeah, it's not great. Unfortunately, we're just in this big
kind of dry pattern and it doesn't look to break down.
The mountains have seen some pushes of snow. We had
one last night they'll get another push come Monday, late
Sunday Monday, and then there could be another one late
in the day on Christmas in the mountains. So if

(20:49):
you do look, you know, if you want a white
Christmas and you're in Denver and along the Front Range,
it will be snow in the mountains. But for the
Front Range it's just not looking great. At this point.
We have nothing but fifty five to sixty Greek temperatures
expected all.

Speaker 7 (21:03):
The way through the holiday, so it's just.

Speaker 6 (21:06):
Not there for us. So if you got me snow
on the ground, I got patches here and that are
hiding in the shadows. Hopefully that'll still be around come
Christmas morning.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Well you know what, though, I gotta tell you, winter
with fifty to sixty degrees doesn't suck.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
You know, I don't hate that. I actually kind of
enjoy that.

Speaker 3 (21:22):
So I know the kids, if they get new sleds
for Christmas, will be a little disappointed. But you're just
gonna have to go to the mountains to find that. Now,
I got a bunch of questions to ask you from
our listeners, and the first of which is a really
really good one.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
I love this question.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
Can you please ask Dave, what is the proper way
to measure snow here at eight thousand feet. I wait
until the storm is over and will measure, let's say
eighteen inches. My neighbor will repeatedly clean off an area
and measure multiple times and add those numbers together, and
we'll come up with twenty four inches, in your opinion,

(21:57):
which is more accurate.

Speaker 6 (22:00):
The clearing off actually does give you the total snow
that fell during the event, because if you wait until
the end, especially if it's a heavy wet snow, the
snow's going to compact and it's going to melt a
little bit.

Speaker 4 (22:11):
So you're better off doing variations.

Speaker 6 (22:13):
Same as through for shoveling. We talk about that all
the time we're dealing with. You know, a foot or
two feet of snow, don't wait for it to finish,
go out and chip away at it. So there is
if you go to the National Weather Service website and
just google National Weather Service and you'll go to the
Boulder office, there is on there you can find a
spot where they do tell you how to officially do
it you want. It's called the whiteboard, and you have

(22:35):
to put the right board out. You have to measure
it and has to be in the area. But you know, listen,
snow measurements. There's an official way to do it. But
the bottom line is as you measure it your neighborhood,
your next neighbor, you're going to find subtle differences in measurements.
But if you were going to do it for the
totality of an event, I would say you would chip
away at it, sweep it off, measure what falls, Measure
the next one that falls every six hours or so.

Speaker 3 (22:58):
Here's one for you, Dave. How does the January weather
look like?

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Blizzards are mild? Like now?

Speaker 3 (23:04):
Merry Christmas. I guess he's asking really about what long
range weather patterns we're seeing, right, Yeah.

Speaker 6 (23:11):
I mean the long range weather patterns haven't changed. We're
going to be in an Elminio pattern, which means that
Denver in the front range should do okay by the
end of the season, meaning we'll have close to our
fifty three inches of snow. As you know, of October
helped us out, no exeason, November helped us out. We're
ahead for the year. We're at a little more than

(23:31):
forty percent of the entire season, and we still have
all of January February, March, April or two snow this months.
So we're in pretty good shape. And you know, the
snow pack in the mountains is still running at more
than one hundred percent. So this pattern we're in is
going to have prolonged dry periods, long periods like we're
seeing now. We'll see through Christmas. But that doesn't mean

(23:51):
we won't get bouts of snow like we did back
in early November when we got that four days of
measurable snow and on that Friday we had almost ten inches.
So you know, never really gives you the day to
day pattern. But I think overall, when things are said
and done, we'll find a near average snow season.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
All right, here's the question for you. These are good
questions today. What is it about the geographical triangle between
Colorado Springs, Canyon City and Pueblo. It seems surrender it
a precipitation desert. The rain and snow seem to circumvent
this area unless the weather comes in from the east
in some fashion.

Speaker 6 (24:27):
Yeah, So that's again topography. The geographical features, our mountains,
our foothills are divided like the Palmer divide. All of
those features playing into what we call micro climate. So
depending on where you are, wind will favor you in
one direction but not in another. And that area is
at a lower elevation, That is correct, that area down

(24:50):
there from Colorado Springs Canyon City over the Pebble, you're
going to want a straight easterly flow. If we have
a big storm that sets up with a northeasterly flow.
For Denver and the Pond divide, we do very very
well with snow. But on the other side of the divide,
going into Colorado Springs and continuing to head south, that
same wind direction does not favor snow into those areas.

(25:12):
So wind direction, wind speed is key. And unfortunately that
area is just kind of if you look at it
on a map, you'll see that it is kind of
sitting down on a flat spot. It needs really a
straight easterly wind and sometimes that's hard to get well.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
And we have a question from another part of Denver
or another part of Colorado is kind of the same thing.
Ask Dave why the northern portion of the Front Range, Johnstown,
BERTHETT is a desert while Denver in south is wet.
Is it the same answer only on the other end.

Speaker 6 (25:41):
Yeah, same thing. It's all dependent on windflow. Those areas
are east of BY twenty five, so they're not close
enough to benefit from the higher elevations west of By
twenty five as you approach the foothills, so they don't
get as much lift. A northeasterly wind should get them
some snow, but they won't get the depth of snow
that you will as you go west of I twenty five,

(26:01):
And that area is in a dead spot. Because the
same thing is true we talk about the Palmer Divide
that rides in elevation as you leave Denver go over
Monument Hill and then down into Colorado Springs. Well, there's
also the Cheyenne Ridge runs east to west, and that
is another area that if we have a west north
or northwest of the wind coming up and over the

(26:22):
ridge out of Wyoming, down into Fort Collins Loveland and
heading towards the Johnstown and Berthed areas, that's a downsloping wind,
that's a drying wind, and they get nothing. And you'll
see me and hear me talk about that all the time.
When you see me talking about snowfall totals and you
see this big area of nothing you go Denver, like
the last event we had Denver got you had to

(26:43):
get into the city to find two inches. You had
to go southwest of the city to find four inches.
But if you left the city and went north buckcas nothing.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
Yeah, this is an odd question, and I don't know
if this is in your field of expertise or not. Dave,
has the magnetic field changed because water fell, my great
has changed a lot and the weather as well. I mean,
I guess they're asking does the magnetic field? How much
does that play in weather?

Speaker 5 (27:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (27:10):
That is a little out of my expertise.

Speaker 8 (27:12):
I mean it does.

Speaker 6 (27:13):
We know it's changed over time. As far as you know,
that would be a little lofty for me to try
and figure out. I'd have to go do some studying.
And I finished college a long time ago, so I
wouldn't be able to answer that with any type of authority.

Speaker 4 (27:30):
So I'll let that work past.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Yeah. I appreciate that, Dave, because I don't know it either.
Last question from our text line, Dave, should we do
some watering because of how dry it is and will
continue to be?

Speaker 2 (27:41):
Do we need to water our trees?

Speaker 6 (27:43):
Yes, yeah, no question about it. It never hurts in
these dry periods in winter. Because you're not getting the
benefit of higher humidity. The air is very, very dry.
Even though the trees and the shrubs are dormant, they
could use a little bit of a drink. So yeah,
you could do a little.

Speaker 9 (27:58):
Bit on that.

Speaker 6 (27:59):
Don't worry about your grass is con dormant, that's not
an issue. But any trees and shrubs that are healthy
looking and you want to protect them, it never hurts
to run a little water on them. You don't have
to do it daily, but just feed them a little
bit here and there during drive period. So especially with
this stretch, we're going to be happening. We got fifty
to sixty degree days.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
All right, Dave Frasier, Merry Christmas, Happy new ye're all
that good stuff to you. And we'll talk to you
next year, buddy, see you next year.

Speaker 6 (28:24):
Yeah, yeah, happy holiday school.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
All right, thank you, Dave Frasier.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
And that, my friends, is weather Wednesday. We'll be right back.
I want to share a couple of videos from you,
a rod, can I get my audio? The first is
Thomas Massey, who said this on September twenty third of
this year. This is from the House of Representatives about
what we're.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Doing right now.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
I also predicted this would fall.

Speaker 10 (28:51):
Right before Christmas, and I believe this.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
This does fall on December twentieth.

Speaker 10 (28:59):
Now, why have we pick December twentieth, Because it's the
same reason we always have December twentieth.

Speaker 4 (29:07):
Everybody up here is human.

Speaker 10 (29:10):
There are no ais or robots in Congress. And when
you get to December twentieth, you're five days from Christmas,
You're four days from Christmas Eve, and you desperately want
to be there with your family.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
So this is when the leadership.

Speaker 10 (29:25):
Here has the maximum influence. And again I'm talking to
the Democrats and the Republicans because you've seen it on
the Democrats side of the aisle. They love to pick
the week before Christmas for this showdown because you can
smell the jet fuel fumes over at DCA. It smells
like Christmas that you're going to get to go home

(29:47):
and open presence.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
I've been in HC five when literally.

Speaker 7 (29:50):
The Speaker of the House, not the speaker we have now.

Speaker 10 (29:53):
Walks in and says, if you vote for this, you
can go home and unwrap presents with your kids.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
And if you don't vote for this, you're.

Speaker 10 (30:00):
Going to spend Christmas here with Nancy Pelosi and then
the chance starts.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Vote vote, vote vote.

Speaker 10 (30:07):
Literally, people get enthusiastic to vote for something that they
haven't read.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
So let me predict what we're not.

Speaker 10 (30:13):
Going to do on December twentieth before I take a
guess at what we're.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
Going to do. What we're not going to do.

Speaker 10 (30:19):
We're not going to do twelve separate bills. We are
not going to spend this time. We've got a few
months between now and December twentieth. We could go back
to working on appropriations bills. We are not going to
do this this sucker. Whatever happens on December twentieth, whether
it's another cr to punt, to kick the can down
the road for three more months, or whether it's an

(30:41):
omnibus that funds all of government with one bill, it's
going to be written behind closed doors, and every lobbyist
in this town is going to try to attach their
little thing to this bill. This train is leaving the
station on December twentieth.

Speaker 4 (30:59):
It's the only one that we know is going to pass.

Speaker 10 (31:03):
They call it up here, must pass legislation, So everybody's
going to try and get their little thing on this bill,
whatever it is. On December twentieth, whether it's another continuing
resolution or another omnibus.

Speaker 4 (31:16):
It's so it's not even really a prediction that I'm making.

Speaker 10 (31:20):
I'm just telling you what has happened for twelve years,
regardless of whether Democrats are in charge or Republicans are
in charge.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
There may be a little twist. We may do half
of a CR.

Speaker 10 (31:31):
It'll be a whole CR, and half of it'll end
in February, and half of it all end in April,
and they'll convince you that got something more clever this year.

Speaker 4 (31:39):
Than they had last year.

Speaker 10 (31:41):
But it's going to be the same old thing, warmed over,
written behind closed doors.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
Rolled out here. We're not going to have time to
read this thing.

Speaker 10 (31:50):
That's also predictable, and we're going to be told vote
for this and you can go home and open presence
with your kids. Don't vote for it, and you're going
to be stuck here, and there will be people.

Speaker 4 (32:02):
It's pulls at hard strings.

Speaker 10 (32:04):
We are humans, and that's why I think it's really
disingenuous or despicable really to pick four days before Christmas
Eve to put this bill on the floor.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
The bill I'm talking about.

Speaker 10 (32:18):
Obviously, nobody here knows what it is yet, and we're
not going to have time to read it, but people
are going to be inclined to vote for it because
they just want to be with their family.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
I also appreciate that, again, was September of this past year,
and you know what is happening right now exactly what
Congressman Thomas Massey just said. And I want to play
another little bit of audio for you, this vivike Ramaswami
about the Continuing Resolution that is surely going to pass.
As Thomas Massey just said. This is vivike Ramaswami.

Speaker 9 (32:49):
Sous is about to pass a bill that blows away
your taxpayer money.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
But that made it over fifteen hundred pages long.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
So you wouldn't read it.

Speaker 4 (32:56):
I did your favor.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
I read it for you.

Speaker 9 (32:57):
It's supposed to be about keeping government up open and
providing disaster relief aid to hurricane victims, which I'm sympathetic to.
If you read the bill carefully, it contains pay raises
for members of Congress and I'm not making this up
an expansion of their federal health benefits. It contains all
kinds of special interests and pork funding putting opening up
a new stadium in Washington.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
D C.

Speaker 9 (33:19):
It renews the Global Engagement Center, which is a keynode
of the censorship industrial complex. And the worst part is
they didn't want you to know about any of it,
and that's why they made this a last minute jam job.
The reason I'm co heading DOGE is I think we
need outsiders to bring actual accountability to Washington, d C.
So feel free to call your congressman and let them
know how you feel about it versus.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
About those two videos alone tell you everything you need
to know about this continuing resolution. But when we get back,
Kurt Couchman, senior fiscal policy fellow at Americans for Prosperity,
is going to talk about just how bad it is
and what we should know is in it. If he's
even had time to read it. We'll do that now.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Next, The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and
Pollock Accident and injury Lawyers.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
No, it's Mandy connellyn on KA.

Speaker 8 (34:13):
Ninety one FMA got study the NYE Andy Connell Keeping
No Sad Thing.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
Welcome Local, Welcome to the second hour of the show.
And if you're just joining us, you missed some audio
that I just played one from Congressman Thomas Massey predicting
back in November that we would be sitting at the
end of December with a giant crap sandwich as a
continuing resolution, and he was absolutely right and joining me
now to talk about the crap sandwich, although he may.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Call it something different.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
Kurt Couchman, he is a senior fellow in Fiscal Policy
for Americans for Prosperity, and he looks for innovative solutions
to federal and state budget challenges. How about Congress being
the problem with our federal budget problems.

Speaker 7 (35:03):
Kurt, Congress is absolutely the core of our federal budget problems.
I'm calling the bill of the cr isthmus Bus or
the Christmas Bush. But yeah, it's not. It's not the
way that Congress should be legislating. You know, the appropriations
bills which fund which which are collectively a quarter of

(35:25):
federal spending and none of the revenue. Those are supposed
to be done in August, but cr they won't be
done until at the earliest March, mid March sometime, so
agencies will have half of a fiscal year to carry
out their their stuff with normal appropriations maybe, and then
there's all this extraneous stuff.

Speaker 4 (35:45):
That I'm not.

Speaker 7 (35:46):
I'm sure some of it is fine. Some of them
might not be, but some of it's fine. That's just
sort of stuck in there based on what the chairs
and ranking members of the different authorizing committees, because so, yeah,
we were probably with that being in there, but like,
why isn't there an authorizing process that lets them bring
us up to the floor as routine business and get
Congress to vote on and all that. It's such a

(36:06):
mess and Congress really doesn't need to fix the system.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
Well, I mean, Kurt, I mean you kind of you know,
the answer to the question of why we can't do
the bills the right way? With these omnibus bills or
these giant continuous resolutions. They do stuff in full of
all the craft sandwich stuff so they can slide it
through on a muspass bill, and now we've got this
is my frustration. We talked yesterday about some polling that
was post election polling about why voters voted the way

(36:30):
they did, and they voted the way they did because
they perceived Trump to be a more effective leader and
therefore would have a more effective government. But the reality
is neither Republicans nor Democrats have shown any real backbone
when it comes to tackling deficit spending.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
So what has to happen here?

Speaker 7 (36:51):
Oh, there's so much that has to be done. I mean,
I wrote a piece back in January twenty seventeen when
President Trump first took office talking about how he can
help make Congress responsible again, and none of those things
got fixed, unfortunately, and so there's still a lot of
work that needs to be done. I'm actually pretty excited
about this elon musk devik Ramaswami Doje the Department of

(37:13):
Government Efficiency, even though it's early governmental commission, because it's
just the constant drum me that there's all this stuff
that the federal government has no business doing, that it
does wastefully, that it does inefficiently, and for that to
be just hanging over the heads of everyone for the
next well however long it lasts year and a half
at least, that will help with disciplining Congress and helping

(37:35):
them make the tough but necessary decisions. There's a lot
more that needs to be done, but that I think
could be a really powerful messaging framework for people to
be thinking about things under.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
I heard a pundit kind of poo pooing the notion
of doja's effectiveness, but the word kind of uncharted territory.
With Elon Muskin, Vivik Ramaswami and social media, we have
never been able to directly vent our spleens in the
fashion that we're now seeing on X and other social

(38:06):
media platforms. And for Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswami to
be heading this up and they're already dripping stuff out
on the daily on x dot com, this is a
whole new This is a big difference than what we've
seen before. I'm kind of hopeful that that kind of
pressure that you're talking about where people are going to
look at their Congress people and say, what are you doing?
Because now they're more informed because of DOJ. But Congress

(38:29):
loves to protect its own power to spend, and I
am not hopeful that that is going to be enough.
I mean, I hope it is, but I don't know.
I mean, if we continue to go like this, how
much longer can we sustain this?

Speaker 2 (38:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (38:42):
I mean people are worried about the fiscal crisis. Former
Congressman Jeff Penciline had a piece in the Wall Street
Journal just today talking about how, you know, we can't
keep borrowing like we are, and so we're going to
have to cut spending in order to you know, keep
the bond markets happy. So that's absolutely true. The thing
about the Doge and the broader Trump administration's focus on

(39:05):
the wasteful spending and the spending that is not just
wasteful but like actively harmful to the American people and
getting all that out of people's way is that it's
a big megaphone. And yes, it's true that the Doge
won't have a lot of formal power. They can come
up with ideas and then promote them within the administration
with Congress, but it's that extension of the bully pulpit

(39:25):
that they'll have on task they're dogged. It could be
something that will create more space for Congress to actually
put in place the processes that will help them fix
things in the long run. So we need to be
looking at this in a whole lot of different ways.
Do the tax extensions, cut spending, cut regulations fix the system.
These are all things that are possible for Congress to

(39:47):
do in the next year, year and a half.

Speaker 3 (39:48):
But I think the frustration is is that I gotta
somebody just hit me up on Twitter and said, Kurt,
where did the seer come from?

Speaker 2 (39:55):
Who wrote it?

Speaker 3 (39:56):
And I think people are starting to ask that question,
where did it come from? It didn't just get birthed,
you know yesterday somebody had had a.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Say in this.

Speaker 7 (40:05):
It's about a dozen members of Congress and the White House,
and that means that four hundred and no, I'm sorry,
five hundred and thirty five members minus those twelve were
barely involved, if at all. I mean, that's one of
the things that gets people like Thomas Matthews so upset
is that they have ideas, they have perspectives, they have values,
they had they represent seven hundred and fifty thousand people

(40:26):
each of them in the House and then depending on
the Senate. But they don't have a seat at the
table and crafting which policies actually advance, and they don't
have an opportunity to make them better or like weed
out nonsense. So they're there, but they're not really able
to act as legislators. And that's the fundamental problem. Why
is that, I mean, it's perspective.

Speaker 3 (40:46):
Is it because Speaker Johnson is too willing to do
these crs? Or which I'm more mad at the Republicans
on this stuff than I am the Democrats, because at
least the Democrats are honest about wanting the government right.
Why can't Mike Johnson get this done? Why can't they
do twelve separate bills? Why are we still doing this again?

Speaker 7 (41:08):
Yeah, the centives and the system are bad. I mean,
I think that the leadership has done as good of
a job as it is possible with this system, But
that just tells you how bad it is. Like all
the committees should be managing their stuff every single year,
not just the appropriate. There shouldn't even be shutdowns, don't
They don't. They'll only started happening because of the Jimmy
Carter administration, and it creates all the wrong incentives. It

(41:31):
encourages leadership to wait until the last minute and then
jam everybody with it, Whereas if you didn't have shutdowns,
you'd actually have to earn the votes for the new
bills instead of forcing them on people right before a
holiday deadline.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
And that's exactly what they're doing. So, I mean, they're
obviously this bill is going to pass. I mean, there's
all just a zero percent chance it's not going to pass.

Speaker 7 (41:50):
Correct, Oh, I guess we'll see. I've seen some reporting
by Chad Pergram at Fox News that Republicans are having
a hard time. I'm, you know, being sure that they're
going to have the votes, so we'll see what happens.
It's already a left leaning package, probably just because that's
where the votes are. They had to make a bunch
of concessions to Democrats because there are enough Republicans that

(42:13):
will refuse to vote for any sort of cr appropriations bill.
And then Elon Musk has been out there talking about
how it's so bad.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
So I think.

Speaker 7 (42:24):
It remains to be seen what will pass. It might
be this large bill, or it might have to be
something scaled back. But I don't think it's certain right
now what will happen.

Speaker 3 (42:34):
From your lips to God's ears, Kurt Couchman, he is
with Americans for prosperity. You are more optimistic than I am.
I really, you feel more optimistic to me than I am.
I am at the point now, I've been screaming about,
you know, the deficit and debt spending and had people
basically say, no, it's no big deal. It is a
huge deal. And I just knowing history, I'd hate to

(42:58):
see us become the next victim of our our own
hubris in thinking that we can't spend ourselves into oblivion.

Speaker 7 (43:05):
We absolutely can spend ourselves into oblivion, and I hope
we don't find that out. If we do, though, we
need to make sure that the least had way of
sorting that back out is possible. So, you know, I
am optimistic, at least in the long run, because America
is an incredible place for generating ideas, and you know,
free speech is one of the greatest blessings we have.

(43:28):
So I'm hopeful that people can get the word out
and we can figure out how to fix these things
and move forward. But it's going to take a lot
of work, and there's a lot of risks and a
lot of dangers along the way.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
Kirk Kasman, I appreciate your time today.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
Appreciate you all right, thank you. You know a lot
of you already weighing in on the common Spirit health
tech sign. This is a really good one, Mandy. What
can DOGE do better than the Grace Commission back in
the Reagan administration? It all sounds the same to me, Brian.
Of course, the Grace Commission was was tasked with finding
ways to strength the size of government. That wasn't defense

(44:00):
and other things. This is different for one big, unknown reason,
and that's the reason I mentioned occurred at the beginning
of that interview X and Elon Musk and vivik Ramaswami
and their social media followings and frankly the fact that
X is now the media. When when Elon Musk tweeted
that out that just said you are the media now,

(44:23):
he was so accurate because now first thing I do
in the morning, I go to all of our local
news sites that I use, and the second thing I
do after that is go to X dot com and
just scroll and see what the news is there. So
now what's happening is you're having major media news organizations
having to respond to what is happening on X. And

(44:47):
I'm not talking about you know, political fighting or whatever
the nonsense is on. I'm talking about news stories that
are happening that are being taken directly to the people,
like the vivike Ramaswami comments about congressional raises, Like he
didn't have to go to NBC or ABC or CBS
and say, hey, help me get this out. He went
to his media following that has millions in it.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
And just said here's what's going on. So we've kind
of cut out.

Speaker 3 (45:10):
The middleman in terms of going right to the people
and saying this is what government is doing to you
with your money. And then in turn, a certain percentage
of people are going to start putting pressure on their
members of Congress and this has to happen. And here's
the thing, you guys, I don't care if you have

(45:32):
a Republican representative. I don't care if Gabe Evans is
your guy, or Joe no Goose is your guy, or
Jason Crow is your guy, or Lauren Bobert is your girl.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
I don't care.

Speaker 3 (45:42):
You still need to be reaching out, sending emails, maybe
even picking up the phone and making a phone call
and being respectful about it and saying, hey, I sure
hope you're not going to vote for this stuff.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
I sure hope you're not part of the problem.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
Because the more phone calls they get, the more emails
they get from constituents like you. You would not believe
what a difference that makes a huge difference. So that
part of it where now we're not waiting for a
boarding report from the Grace Commission. We're we're all gonna
sit around and get this big book that nobody's gonna read.
You have a vike Ramaswami and Elon Musk talking on

(46:19):
a daily basis. If you're not on X and you
can't follow the dog account on X. Every single day
they are giving more examples of government waste every single day.
And then Elon Musk amplifies that vike Ramaswami amplifies that.
I'm telling you this is a whole new horizon right now.
So though I'm I am you know, I am not

(46:40):
going to sit here and say joj is gonna slash
the size of government. That would be that would be
too much to hope for. But I think they are
going to be the best positioned to use public pressure
to get Congress to do something that they have been
unwilling to do up to this point. And that is

(47:02):
due to you know, at least pretend to give lip
service to the deficit and the debt.

Speaker 2 (47:08):
Mandy, it's time for.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
Everyone to contact the federal reps and insist on twelve
appropriation bills for next year aimen to that. But see,
they really don't want to do that because they can't
bury their pet projects. And by the way, both Republicans
and Democrats.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
Do the exact same thing.

Speaker 3 (47:24):
They will bury their pet projects in these giant omnibus
bills because they know we're never going to see them
and to build that size, right, they're just never going
to see them. So, yeah, we need to pressure everybody,
all of our members of the House, all of our
members of the Senate. We want twelve appropriation bills next year.
I mean, or wouldn't it be funny if we threaten

(47:45):
to try and get a constitutional amendment that said if
you don't have a if you don't do your job
on the budget, you're not able to run for reelection
in the next election cycle. Or if there's a deficit,
you're not able to run for reelection in the next
election cycle. That would solve the problem immediately one one
hundred percent of the time, this person said, please post

(48:06):
the phone numbers for our congressman.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
So we can call.

Speaker 3 (48:09):
We have the Google now, you guys, all you have
to do is congressman, congresswoman, and you are member of Congress.
If you don't know your member of Congress, you can
google who is my member of Congress. I used to
spend a lot of times doing stuff like that, but
with Google. It just is not worth my time to
do it for you. You can do it, You got it.

(48:30):
You're fine, Mandy, just looking at dollars and cents. The
elephant in the room that wasn't discussed is seventy seven
percent of the budget for Medicare, defense, social security, and
interest on the debt. We now pay more in interest
on the debt than we spend on the military and Medicare.
So that's a big, big deal. There has to be

(48:52):
some reform to Medicare. And I say this is a
fifty five year old person, you know, Medicare, social Security.
They need to raise the full retirement agent. I can't
even believe I'm saying that right now, but I'm saying
it because as much as I'd love to be able
to retire, you know, with my full social security at
sixty seven, I'd like to know social Security is.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
Going to be there, first of all.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
And if it's a matter of insolvency or pushing the
retirement age back a couple of years for people my
age are even a little bit younger, then.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
Let's do it.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
Because we have to work together in this society to
get this squared away. Because our politicians are not very
invested in it. Apparently, Mandy. If all seven hundred thousand
plus constituents reached out to whichever congress person about this
or that, how would we know that if congressperson did
or did not follow what those seven hundred thousand constituents wanted.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
Well, it would go like this.

Speaker 3 (49:45):
If you reached out to your member of Congress who
has voted over and over again for continuing Resolution, and
then all of a sudden in the next year they
were demanding twelve budget bills, then boy, howdy, you made
a difference, I mean, and ask for you know what's
coming in? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
I don't know. We shall just see, Mandy.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
Congress gave themselves a forty percent salary increase in the CR.
How do they think that they warrant such an increase
that from Steve? Well, Steve, when you are as popular
as Congress is. I mean, they're up to like seventeen
percent popularity right now in the latest polling. They really
have really have decided the things.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
Well, never mind, Mandy, as.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
Far as Social Security goes, as this Texter, they also
need to remove the spousal benefit because there's so many
more people retiring today with big four oh one k,
and also people with a pension that now their spouse
is getting half of their Social Security and it's actually
busting social Security instead of helping. But what about those people,
those wives who stayed at home their whole career so

(50:55):
they could raise kids and take care of the family
and allow the other person to go out and make
money and be successful. That's why we have that spousal benefit.
And whether or not someone has a four oh one
K or a pension or whatever, you know, someone should
not be penalized for planning well or doing well. I

(51:19):
realized that in our society we already do that. Anyway,
you pay more in taxes, but the notion of means
testings someone's social security. I know it's coming, I mean,
I know it's coming. But if you think it'll only
happen to the rich people, Oh, that's adorable. The income
tax was just for rich people when it started. How's
that working out for us now, Mandy? Or if Congress

(51:42):
does not do their fiscal job in time, it's an
automatic five percent cut from the prior year.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
Brian, Oh, I love that.

Speaker 3 (51:49):
I love that. That's fantastic. That would be great, Mandy,
it's time. Oh wait a minute, hang on, Mandy. It
makes me sick to my stomach. Couldn't even read Twitter today.
This is such bs. Republicans suck. All politicians suck. I
am that at Republicans about this that I am Democrats

(52:11):
straight up because they always run on a platform a
physical responsibility. We're the ones that are going to run
the government fiscally responsible and then they cut taxes once
they don't cut spending. And don't get me wrong, I
realize economic growth happens when you cut taxes.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
Blah blah blah.

Speaker 3 (52:29):
But we are so far in debt that we can
no longer just plan to grow our way out of it.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
That is absurd.

Speaker 3 (52:36):
We have to freeze spending at a bare minimum, and
I mean freeze no increases for the federal government for
like five years. If we did that, it would begin
to make a huge dent in what we're spending. But
we don't even see the will to do that. How
many of you, how many of you in your family?
How many of you for the last five years have

(52:57):
essentially had the same family budget. Maybe you got a
little tiny increase here or there, but basically the.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
Same family budget.

Speaker 3 (53:04):
The federal government should be able to do that as well,
and yet nobody ever seriously except Thomas Massey or Ran Paul.
It's very, very frustrating because our kids, our grandkids, their
kids are going to have to pay all of this
off or our economy is going to collapse. We're going

(53:26):
to have a fiscal debt crisis, and the entire world
will be thrust into a depression. So our options are
get it together. Rein in government spending. That will cause
if we just rained in government spending, if we've rained
in the size of government just a smidge, it would
juice our economy in such a huge way. And this

(53:48):
is a message that I wish someone would get to
President elect Trump that if you want to be seen
as the rock star president like Ronald Reagan, revered for
the economic boom that took place under Ronald Reagan's leadership,
if you want to have that kind of reverence for
your name, cut the size of government, watch the private
economy explode. Everyone makes money, and you'll be a hero.

(54:09):
I wish they could just get that message to him, because.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
He's not stupid. You know, he's seen what.

Speaker 3 (54:17):
Bidenomics has done, he saw what stimmy checks did do inflation.
He's not stupid.

Speaker 5 (54:24):
Man.

Speaker 3 (54:24):
He's when he ran in twenty sixteen and I wasn't
a fan, and I would say he's gonna explode the
size of government. And I had so many texters and
callers and emailers, Trump's get a slash the deficit, even
though he had never said anything like that. Oddly, none
of those people have reached back out to me to apologize.
So yeah, yeah, when we get back, I'm not going

(54:47):
to continue to beat this horse.

Speaker 2 (54:49):
I am going to move on to a different horse.

Speaker 3 (54:50):
You're just gonna have to stick around to find out
what that is. This story just popped up on the
Twitter feed, and I am I am horrified.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
I'm not surprised. This is just.

Speaker 3 (55:01):
Another thing that makes me go, this is why don't
like tattoos. Because tattoos it's too tempting to make an
incredibly dumb choice that then resides on your body for.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
The rest of your life.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
Ask me what people are getting tattooed on their body
now a rod, Ask me what.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
They're getting.

Speaker 3 (55:21):
Luigi Manngioni tattoos on their body.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
Are they at least doing like a hybrid with like
Luigi the character not so far.

Speaker 3 (55:29):
There is one that has like a guy Fawkes mask
kind of peeking out from behind it from the from Vendetta,
you know what I'm talking about. One is a heart
around the photograph of him with his hoodie on and
it says, I heart my boyfriend that's on there. One
guy just randomly got a picture of that in the

(55:50):
hoodie on his elbow. One of them has a tattoo
with a big rose that says denied, defend deposed. Now,
some of these are gigantic, and I'm just gonna say it,
like the denied depend to pose. That is a thick
ass half right there.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
You're gonna need medical help. Person.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
Boy, there's nothing like doing something dumb and then preserving
it forever on your body.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
So now everyone knows, don't want to wait for the
trial that.

Speaker 3 (56:16):
You are glorifying a murderer. That's where you are now,
that that's where you.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
Are doing this with Like OJ.

Speaker 3 (56:22):
Back in the day, uh No, OJ was more of
a There was definitely a racial divide with the OJ verdict.
The black people in my life, almost to a person,
believed that OJ was innocent. The white people in my
life were like, oh my god, that man is so guilty.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
So guilty.

Speaker 3 (56:43):
But I think a lot of the black people in
my life, and I don't want to speak for them,
but in general seemed to feel like like black people
had been so abused by the system for so long.
This was almost like a measure of payback in a way.
And again I'm not trying to speak for any but
that was the vibe that I got from my black
friends at the time. That was more of a racial divide.

(57:05):
This is a class divide. This is class an envy
on display, and the fact that these people have just
decided to forget about the fact that this was a
man who had a wife and children, and he was
a human being and his family will have to.

Speaker 2 (57:22):
Go on without him.

Speaker 3 (57:23):
I love the way they've just brushed that aside. Did
you notice, by the way, Arad, no calls for gun
control after that murder? None, not one, not at all anyway,
this sector, I hope sometimes you talk about sanctuary city
and sanctuary state designations and possibly an initiative to require
that states be required to get the vote of the

(57:45):
people to establish such designations. I will point out to
you that the Democratic legislature who here made Colorado a
sanctuary state and the Denver City Council who made a
sanctuary city. They were all elected by the people and
a representative form of government. You get what you vote for,

(58:05):
and that's what we voted for. So my thinking would be,
if we don't like that, then we should encourage people
to vote differently in the elections so we could roll
that stuff back. Anyway, Mandy, you had a guy on
about weight training earlier this week. Could you please provide
a little information? Thank you A workplace listener that was
one of the guys from the Shred app He was

(58:27):
very good and as a matter of fact, I'm glad
this text or just sexted in because I got an
email from someone who said, Mandy, I realize that you
like to talk about health and fitness, but I find
it boring when you listen to when you talk about
it on the show, So just wanted to let you know.
I mean, they were very nice about it. It wasn't a
snotty email in any way, shape or form, but the
implication from the email was that I talk about it

(58:49):
because I want some kind of accolades, because I guess
people think I'm like this super help. I'm not a
super healthy person. I'm trying to be a healthy person,
but I have people like that guy talking out about
weight training for one reason and one reason only. And
this is going to probably sound really weird to some
of you, but I view every single person who listens

(59:10):
to this show as part of this big family, right,
and not everybody agrees in the family. And I know
that there are people out there who literally hate listen
to this show three hours every day. They hate everything
I say, They hate me, but they listen all day
long just to hate me. You're in the family too,
and because you're all in this big, dysfunctional Mandy Connell family,

(59:34):
I feel the same way about you that I feel
about my family in real life, and that is I
want each and every one of you to lead your
happiest and healthiest lives. Because in my own personal experience
watching my father have a massive stroke and then spend
fourteen months suffering and dying before he finally passed away,
that was so illuminating to me, and I just made

(59:56):
a decision right then, That's not how I'm going out now.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
Maybe I end up having.

Speaker 3 (59:59):
A stroke anyway, I don't know, but it's not going
to be from lack of trying on my part.

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
Additionally, we get to go on.

Speaker 3 (01:00:06):
Vacations with the Mandy Cornell Adventure with people of like
a wide range of ages, and we have people that
are sixty years old, we have people that are seventy
years old. We've even had ninety year old go with us.
And you can see the impact of taking care of
yourself in the ninety year olds who are still going
on these trips. And then sometimes we have sixty year

(01:00:26):
olds who can really barely manage some of the stuff
we're doing. And so I keep talking about this stuff
not because I'm trying to present myself as like this,
you know, because I'm not in perfect physical health. I mean,
I'm in much better health than I was ten years ago.
I constantly work on it every day, but I you know,
I still not perfect. But I only do that because
I've seen what taking care of yourself and exercising on

(01:00:50):
a regular basis and watching what you eat. I've seen
what it can mean long term, and I want that
for all of my family, even those of you who
hate Lissen. I still want you to have your best
life as long as possible.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
So if it bores you and if you.

Speaker 3 (01:01:05):
Turn the station when that stuff is on. I get
it one hundred percent. I get it, but don't misinterpret
my intentions when we have those conversations. First of all,
I think it's really interesting. Some of the new science
around all of this stuff is very fascinating, and I
just find it interesting myself. But the reason I'm doing
I'm bringing it to you guys, because I consume all

(01:01:25):
that content anyway, even when I'm not on the radio,
because I find it interesting. But I bring it on
the show because I want every single person who loves
listening hates listening somewhere in between. I want all of
you to live your best and longest and healthiest lives
and hopefully remain listeners for the rest of that life.
So please, that's the spirit in which it is intended.

(01:01:48):
You are all in the family, and I want all
of you to be happy and healthy. And this person
just sends narcissistic a bunch. I know who that's directed at. Oh,
it might be directed at the people getting tattoos.

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
Sorry about that, Mandy.

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
These people should all have red flags laws.

Speaker 2 (01:02:10):
Enforced on them. They don't have guns.

Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
Their big active private rebellion is getting a tattoo of
a murderer on their leg, so everybody could think they're
so edgy.

Speaker 2 (01:02:20):
With their murderer tattoo.

Speaker 3 (01:02:21):
It's like the same people who wear you know, like
you go Chaves Chavez, who's the Shake of Era shirts?
If I see someone wearing a Shake of Ara shirt,
I immediately know.

Speaker 2 (01:02:31):
They're just not that smart.

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
They really aren't, because a vast majority of them have
no idea how many people Shake of Era murdered, how
much he hated gay people, how much he hated black people,
and they're wearing the shirt like shows how edgy and
I'm just I'm fringe or some nonsense. Anyway, Mandy, I
for one am happy had them on. I was needing

(01:02:54):
that exact thing for my home gym workouts because it
was getting monotonous repeating the same exercises. The past three
days have torn me apart using the app and again
that was the shred app. And if you ever wondered why,
because I've had people say why do you work out
with a personal trainer? My personal trainer maybe do a
workout that was so hard today I would have never
done it on my own.

Speaker 2 (01:03:16):
And right now, every.

Speaker 3 (01:03:18):
Single part of my body is starting to get sore.
My eyelashes not sore, the rest of it sore as hell.
Do whatever works, Just do it. We thought we're all
in this together. You get one spin on the big
blue marble, and God gave you that body to do
it in.

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
Don't waste it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:35):
Everybody every year gets inundated with Christmas carols because if
you're in the store, they're on. If you're in my car,
they're on. If you're in my house, they're on. And
I have really been aggressively looking for Christmas carrols I
had not heard of. My friend Greg created the best
Christmas carol list, in my opinion, ever on his Apple

(01:03:58):
Music account.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
So good.

Speaker 3 (01:04:01):
It's every song I would have put on this Christmas list,
and then a few more that I wasn't aware of.
But I've been discovered some new Christmas carols. And also
sometimes you hear a Christmas carol then you realize it's
sort of grating on your nerves at this point, you
know what I mean? If I never heard Grandma got
run over by a reindeer the rest of my life,
I would be one percent okay with that. I don't

(01:04:23):
I don't like that. Chris I don't like it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:26):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:04:26):
I don't like it, Anthony. It's a song about your
grandma dying. Write at Christmas? How is that Christmas? E?

Speaker 5 (01:04:33):
How that?

Speaker 2 (01:04:34):
How is that a thing you want to have happened?

Speaker 5 (01:04:36):
I'm not saying I like it. I will say, though,
and it's a classic doesn't mean I have to like it.
That is true. It is a classic. I will concede
that point. And I never want to hear it again.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
Yeah, I don't really care for it.

Speaker 4 (01:04:47):
I just.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
So annoying, so so annoying. But it was wondering.

Speaker 3 (01:04:53):
I have to thank Jimmy Seckenberger. He was in the
other day for Ross. He played a version of Santa
Claus's Back in Town by Johnny I had never heard
Santa Claus's Back in Town is an Elvis song primarily,
but Johnny lang redid it and it is very, very
very good. They are newer artists singing classic songs, but

(01:05:14):
they don't there's no, there's no they don't add anything
to the song. They don't do anything. And don't don't
get me wrong, I don't want to hear somebody, you know,
make a.

Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
Song completely crazy. But if you're.

Speaker 3 (01:05:26):
Gonna remake a song, either remake it better than the
first one, or don't.

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
Remake it, or put your own.

Speaker 3 (01:05:34):
Style into it somehow, And a lot of younger artists
just seem to.

Speaker 2 (01:05:40):
Like Taylor Swift.

Speaker 3 (01:05:41):
Santa Baby is a perfect for a perfect example of that.
And I'm not a table Swift hater by any stretch
of the imagination, but that her version of that song
is like, there's nothing special about it at all.

Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
There are two sides of the Christmas song coin.

Speaker 5 (01:05:55):
I am always on the side of I am all
classics most of the time. Ninety eight percent of the
time I'm listening to the classics.

Speaker 2 (01:06:03):
The ogs.

Speaker 5 (01:06:04):
I love a good twist that different musicians do, and
there's a lot of great places to listen to them.

Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
But I love all the ogs, all of them. I
do too. I love that.

Speaker 3 (01:06:13):
But then there's also some modern music that I really like.
Ariana Grande Santa tell Me that's a great song. Justin
Bieber's Mistletoe. I love that song.

Speaker 5 (01:06:23):
The ones I can always go for are the a
cappella versions of everything.

Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
Oh, Patonics, Panatonics, they like they rule Christmas.

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
I mean that hits me right.

Speaker 5 (01:06:34):
When I was in the acappella group in high school
in the Christmas songs that we would do acapella sixteen piece.

Speaker 3 (01:06:43):
I'm looking up my favorite acappella song of all time,
hang on where and the ta let me do that
and see here we go and it is. Don't give
me my audio yet because there's a commercial playing. We'll
play this in just a second. This is Kenny featuring
a man called home Free, which is a small group

(01:07:03):
of guys, acapella guys that are aka awesome. We're gonna
get to your answers on the text line text us
on the common spiritual text line five six y six
' nine. Oh and uh, there you go. I love
this this, I feel this person. Mandy, I have a
favorite version of almost every song and just about any
other variation fails to compare.

Speaker 2 (01:07:22):
Amen, We'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (01:07:25):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and Injury Lawyers.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
No, it's Mandy Connell, Andy con koa.

Speaker 8 (01:07:38):
Ninem god.

Speaker 3 (01:07:42):
Say the Noisy Free Bendy Connal, Keith sat Babe. Welcome, Welcome,
Welcome to the third hour of the show. We're deep
into a conversation about Christmas carols. I'm asking the question
send me some good ones I may not have heard yet.
And what Christmas Carol have you simply had enough of?

Speaker 6 (01:08:04):
For me?

Speaker 3 (01:08:05):
It is that Grandma Goren run over by a reindeer song.
It makes me run screaming away from the radio. And
I love I want a hippopotamus for Christmas. So I'm
not against novelty songs. I'm just done with Grandma getting
run over by a reindeer. I don't want to hear
that song. Everything My submission is a.

Speaker 5 (01:08:22):
Song that I love, and it's a beautiful song, but
I can't listen to it because I think I'm gonna
cry every time.

Speaker 2 (01:08:26):
It's Blue Christmas.

Speaker 3 (01:08:27):
Oh and see that's another one. Now are you talking
about the porky pick version.

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
The Blue Christmas?

Speaker 5 (01:08:31):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:08:31):
Oh okay. I just want to clarify.

Speaker 3 (01:08:33):
Someone took to the text line to say, whenever that
Hawaiian song plays, I turn it off.

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
Wait to rip my favorite.

Speaker 3 (01:08:40):
Loves melikaliki Maka by Bing Crosby. But I want to
attempt you with a version of Melikalikimaka by John Driscoll Hopkins,
the bass player for the Zach Brown Band. And it's
quite lovely. Somebody else suggested Selo Greens Christmas album. I
had no idea Seelow Green had a Christmas album. So
I'm going with one of my favorites by Pennics, which

(01:09:01):
is Merry. Did you know a lot of you were
mentioning Straight No Chasers Twelve Days of Christmas, which is
the best version of Twelve Days of Christmas, a song
I have always kind of rolled my eyes to because
it just goes on and on and on. But Straight
No Chaser managed to slip Toto's Africa right in the
middle of that, So there you go. Chipmunks Roasting on

(01:09:24):
an Open Fire by Bob Rivers. No, no, no, you've
heard the version of Chipmunks Roasting on an open fire? Right,
It's an actual song about chipmunks roasting on an open fire.

Speaker 2 (01:09:36):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:09:37):
People on our European cruise that we just went on,
they have the opportunity to try roasted chestnuts, you know,
chestnuts roasting on and open.

Speaker 2 (01:09:44):
They're horrible, really, they.

Speaker 3 (01:09:46):
Taste like eating the inside of an acorn.

Speaker 2 (01:09:48):
They're so gross. I do not understand why.

Speaker 3 (01:09:51):
They have one of the greatest Christmas songs ever written
with that line in it, because they're terrible.

Speaker 2 (01:09:59):
You know what, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:10:00):
Oh maybe a little taene would be good on there, something.

Speaker 2 (01:10:03):
To jazz them up.

Speaker 3 (01:10:04):
They are just ugh, They're awful. I mean just awful.

Speaker 1 (01:10:10):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:10:11):
Mandy Glenn Beeck's eighteen year old daughter, Cheyenne Grace has
an Xmas album very good. I cannot stand The War
is Over by John Lennon, Me too, me too and
by the way, Christmas shoes this person says too sappy
for me.

Speaker 2 (01:10:27):
It is.

Speaker 3 (01:10:27):
But I have not heard that song not one time
this year, and I have been consuming Christmas music at
a very high level for multiple outlets. So maybe we
have moved on from that song. Just maybe nobody said
Grandma died, did they. I think Grandma does die in
that song, doesn't she?

Speaker 2 (01:10:45):
Or severely cripple?

Speaker 3 (01:10:46):
I mean, I mean she got Reindeer Rainier are big.
It's like getting run over by an elk. You think
you just bounce back from that, especially.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
If you're old. Come on, come on play.

Speaker 3 (01:10:59):
I want to have Christmas with Santa this year by
Dolly Parton.

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
Oh, remind me another one that I saw Mommy kissing Sama.

Speaker 3 (01:11:05):
Oh yeah, I mean that kind of you're basically scarring
your kids for life and can you not make out
with Santa until maybe you retire to the bedroom?

Speaker 5 (01:11:13):
Mom?

Speaker 2 (01:11:14):
Do you ever think about that?

Speaker 3 (01:11:16):
My favorite song is Christmas in Dixie by Alabama. That's
a good one that was very popular when I was
a kid. Cool Yule by Louis Armstrong. I Love Louis Armstrong.
Merry Christmas from the family, hilarious. Have not heard that
if that's a song? And pretenders two thousand miles Twisted
Sisters come all ye faithful? Yeah, Mandy, I grew up

(01:11:40):
with Mannheim Steamroll or Christmas and Christmas in the Air
are are are among others? Mandy, every time a version
of Mommy Kissing Santa Claus comes on, I turned the channel.
It just confuses my kids, confuses everybody's kids. Jimmy Buffett
does a better version of Melick Aliki Maka. Also Leo Redbone,

(01:12:01):
I am with a rod in that the classic Bing
Crosby is the gold standard of that song.

Speaker 2 (01:12:09):
Yep holds a special places in my heart. Mandy.

Speaker 3 (01:12:11):
Try Future Loop Foundation Winter Wonderland with Victim moone.

Speaker 2 (01:12:16):
Oh, that would be good, Victim oone another one, Mandy.

Speaker 3 (01:12:20):
This is Christmas by Cutlass as direct a song as
there is about the meaning of Christmas, but also very
moving warning an earworm. See some of these that I've
never heard, we can't play on the radio station. It's
not that I don't trust you, guys, but I don't
trust you guys to have them not have a curse
word in them. And I know that sounds.

Speaker 2 (01:12:37):
Crazy, but we've been led astray in the past. We've
had to trust Brenda Lee for how many years?

Speaker 3 (01:12:42):
Yeah, and now we know she's singing about that f
and pie.

Speaker 2 (01:12:47):
I hear that after you hear it the first time.

Speaker 3 (01:12:50):
Exactly who knew she was like thirteen when she was
singing that kind of you know.

Speaker 5 (01:12:55):
And we were ripping on Snoop Dog earlier. Br singing
as a thirteen year old kind of influences.

Speaker 3 (01:12:59):
That exact Colorado Christmas by Nitty Gritty Dirt Man. I
will tell you, guys, I had never heard that song
until I moved here.

Speaker 2 (01:13:06):
It doesn't get played anywhere else. I've never heard the
song before in my life.

Speaker 3 (01:13:12):
But then I was like, oh, it's kind of sweet.
It kind of reminds me of Old lang Syne by
Dan Fogelberg. You know, I met an old ever at
the grocery store and we laughed until we cried.

Speaker 4 (01:13:22):
That song.

Speaker 2 (01:13:23):
It kind of has that vibe for me.

Speaker 3 (01:13:24):
That sort of you know, looking back on your life
and going back to better times.

Speaker 2 (01:13:32):
I love that song.

Speaker 3 (01:13:34):
I Believe in Father Christmas by Greg Lake. That's a
good one too. I actually know that one. You guys
are bringing a bunch of new stuff here two step
around the Christmas tree. Darn Tutin, Mandy, darn Tutin. Indeed,
who was the singer on Mary?

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
Did you know?

Speaker 10 (01:13:49):
That?

Speaker 4 (01:13:49):
Was?

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
See Lo Green?

Speaker 3 (01:13:50):
He has a Christmas album out that I've never heard
of before, but I will be looking up and listening
to on the way home, Mandy Hard Candy Christmas by
Dolly park And is a great song. It is a
great song, but it comes from the best little whorehouse
in Texas, which doesn't exactly scream, you know, birth of Christ.
But I love it too, Mandy. My birthday is Christmas Day.
Christmas songs are great leading up to the twenty fifth,

(01:14:13):
but starting Christmas Eve, I only want to hear the
traditional Christian Christmas carols out of the hymnal Well, I
hope you have that on you know recorded?

Speaker 2 (01:14:22):
Is anyone hire kaylor carollers anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:14:25):
I was thinking about this the other day. We kind
of joked about it in my neighborhood that we were
going to go out and sing carols, but none of
us can really sing. So do you really want to
open the door to have people like God?

Speaker 11 (01:14:34):
Is he?

Speaker 9 (01:14:35):
Mary?

Speaker 2 (01:14:35):
No, you don't. You don't, sparks a caller's idea. Have
you never gone caroling before?

Speaker 3 (01:14:44):
When I was in college, we did this a lot.
We would just go around start knocking on people's doors
in our neighborhood, and we lived in like the student
housing area, and inevitably someone would offer us booze for it.
So we'd go and we'd sing a song, and then
we'd get a cocktail, and then we'd go to the
next house and knock on the door and students would answered,
we'd sing a song and they give us alcohol. It

(01:15:04):
was fantastic, really really good.

Speaker 2 (01:15:08):
So there you go.

Speaker 3 (01:15:09):
Do you know the story behind the poem by Longfellow?
I do not Mandy. I hate Last Christmas no matter
who does it, you're allowed, but I love Last Christmas.
And I was out of wamagedon November sixteenth, you know,
wham again In the actual contest to see how long
you can avoid Last Christmas by wham, I was out,

(01:15:30):
like the second day of Christmas music was just done,
absolutely done. I'm sad when Christmas music is over.

Speaker 2 (01:15:36):
We only have one more.

Speaker 3 (01:15:37):
Week of this because Christmas is in seven days, and
I always am sad when I start to see the Christmas.

Speaker 2 (01:15:43):
Lights come down.

Speaker 3 (01:15:44):
It's just boring, just boring, Mandy. I don't think the
quality of singing matters if you've got ten to fifteen
people singing, unless, of course, none of them can carry
a tune in a bucket, you know what I'm saying.
But you've got to have a good one to hide
the bad ones behind. Yes, there's the rub. That's the

(01:16:04):
problem right there. Chestnuts are delicious and you can cook
them in a toaster oven, but they make me fart,
says this texter. I will not fight you for the chestnuts.
You can have all the chestnuts you want. You can
just chestnut yourself away, just your chickeny chestnut nit. I
don't care. I'm not doing it, not doing it at all.

(01:16:27):
Will not fight you for that. When we get back.
Frontier Airlines is offering their two hundred and ninety nine
dollars pass that allows you to book flights the day
before or ten days out internationally and you can do
all of that for two ninety nine plus the cost
of whatever your baggage fees are and the taxes and
stuff like that. You got to pay that. But it

(01:16:49):
sounds like a really good deal for someone who wants to.

Speaker 2 (01:16:51):
Travel on the cheap. But is it effective.

Speaker 3 (01:16:54):
I have a guest you did this last year to
give you her experience right after this. One of my
favorite people, or her name is Amy.

Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
She is a fellow travel lover like I am.

Speaker 3 (01:17:04):
And last year she and her husband bought one of
these frontier passes that allow you to buy flights for
just the cost of like taxes and fees and luggage
and stuff like that, and you can do it for
a year and they're only two hundred ninety nine dollars.
They're on sale for like seven more hours today.

Speaker 2 (01:17:22):
So if you're.

Speaker 3 (01:17:22):
Thinking about this, I thought i'd bring Amy on to
talk about what she experienced with this.

Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
Amy.

Speaker 3 (01:17:28):
First of all, let's talk about you. Let you guys,
let you travel a lot, right.

Speaker 12 (01:17:33):
Yes, yeah, not just for work but for pleasure.

Speaker 3 (01:17:37):
So you guys bought this pass last year. Was that
the first past, the first time you'd ever bought that?
Was that the first time they'd ever offered it?

Speaker 11 (01:17:43):
This is well, we bought it as soon as they
offered it, and it was We've had it for two years.

Speaker 12 (01:17:50):
This will be our third year.

Speaker 11 (01:17:51):
But we don't have any kids, So I think that's
a disclaimer people need to know.

Speaker 3 (01:17:55):
So tell me how the process works. You buy the
pass and then what.

Speaker 12 (01:18:01):
You buy the pass, and then if you're flying domestically,
you book within twenty four hours and then you pay
only taxes and fees.

Speaker 11 (01:18:09):
Now, the caveat is that there are blackout days like
a ski resort, so you can't fly, you know, the
day before Christmas for fifteen dollars.

Speaker 12 (01:18:17):
But it's been pretty flexible.

Speaker 11 (01:18:19):
I've never had one outside of a blackout day where
I can't get on a flight.

Speaker 3 (01:18:23):
So really nice to really, Now, where have you used
this to go?

Speaker 12 (01:18:29):
We've one to Chicago, Washington, DC. You can go to Mexico.

Speaker 11 (01:18:32):
Now for Mexico travel, you get to book ten days
in advance instead of twenty four hours, so that's kind
of nice. If you're going to Cabo wherever you want
to go.

Speaker 2 (01:18:41):
Now, when you pull up the flight that you want
to take.

Speaker 3 (01:18:44):
Can you see how many seats are available so you
know whether or not it's even They don't black out
specific flights, right, just dates.

Speaker 11 (01:18:53):
Correct, just specific dates, and when you log in, Like
sometimes I'll go two days before and I'll see how
many you know, seats are open and still just to
make sure I'm good. But if you're going from DC
to Denver, there's three flights a day, so even if
I miss one, I can get the one later.

Speaker 8 (01:19:08):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:19:08):
So you said you don't have kids, you feel like
that could be a problem if you were trying to
bookhole family.

Speaker 12 (01:19:16):
Yeah, I mean it's hard to schedule.

Speaker 11 (01:19:19):
Like if you get in a situation where you do
need to stay overnight, you know it might be expensive.

Speaker 12 (01:19:24):
The other thing I have is the Frontier credit card,
and so.

Speaker 11 (01:19:27):
I get to pick my seats, I get a free bag, right,
So I stuck the benefits, which has been good for me.

Speaker 3 (01:19:33):
So you're obviously doing this again this year. How much
do you think how many flights did you have to
take to pay for this thing?

Speaker 11 (01:19:42):
Well, they're one way flights when you book them. You
can't book round trip either, so think about that.

Speaker 12 (01:19:47):
But I have.

Speaker 11 (01:19:47):
Probably flown thirty or thirty five times using the pass yep.

Speaker 3 (01:19:53):
This is I mean, you know, I'm not a super
fan of Frontier. They left me hanging in a few
years ago and I've never forgiven them for that. Yeah,
but other airlines have left me hanging. And so I
also don't like being nickel and dime to death, which
is another thing.

Speaker 2 (01:20:05):
Now you still do you find yourself paying?

Speaker 3 (01:20:07):
You have to pay for luggage, right, so what is
bag fees on Frontier?

Speaker 2 (01:20:11):
Now?

Speaker 4 (01:20:13):
You don't.

Speaker 12 (01:20:14):
If you have the credit card, you get two free
checked bags. Now, so Fier credit card they give.

Speaker 11 (01:20:19):
You it costs one hundred dollars a year or something
and you get one hundred dollars flight credit.

Speaker 12 (01:20:25):
Like it does pay for itself. It's been a great
little card for me.

Speaker 3 (01:20:28):
Well, I appreciate you making time today. And this is
not an ad for Frontier in any way, shape or form,
but I figured if we could get somebody on that
had a little experience with this, it would let somebody
else know if they think this is a good idea.
Are there any downsides that you have experienced that you
would say, okay, you just need to know about this.

Speaker 11 (01:20:48):
Their customer service is horrible, So you know, don't expect
that you're going to call and talk to someone. They
they're not always very helpful, but they do give you
your money back if you delayed, like things like that.

Speaker 12 (01:21:01):
So it's worked for me, but it might not be
forever you watch, that's for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:21:06):
Amy Leak. I appreciate your time today and your expertise
on the frontier pass.

Speaker 2 (01:21:12):
I will talk to you soon, sister.

Speaker 12 (01:21:15):
My pleasure.

Speaker 3 (01:21:16):
All right you bye? I mean a ride. This might
be something for you and your lovely bride because think
about it like this, if you didn't have to pay airfare,
would there be a chance outside of football season, that
you'd be like, you know what, Jocelyn, let's go to DC.

Speaker 2 (01:21:30):
For two days. The next day. Thing just don't work.

Speaker 10 (01:21:34):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:21:34):
See, here's why I say this. When I was a
flight attendant, I was young, no kids, and we had
great flight benefits, and there was times where on a
Thursday I would be sitting there with another flight attendant
we had the next two days off, and she'd go,
Like when I was based in Los Angeles, she'd go,
you want to fly to San Francisco tomorrow and just
go for the day and we did. We just hopped
on a plane in the morning, went to San Francisco

(01:21:56):
all day, hopped on a plane at night, came home.
Because when you have the ability to not have to
spend a bunch of money, it does inspire that kind
of last minute mentality of like, you know what, let's
go to Chicago for the weekend.

Speaker 5 (01:22:07):
The hotels last second, though, might really eat into the
savings you did though.

Speaker 3 (01:22:12):
Well hotels, but see hotels go the reverse way. Hotels
unless they're high demand, which anything high demand is going
to be more expensive. As you get closer to the date,
you can often get a deal because those were once
Nobody stays in those rooms. It's a spoiled commodity and
they can't sell it again.

Speaker 2 (01:22:27):
How much is it again? One thousand of persons?

Speaker 3 (01:22:29):
Ninety nine? Oh, it's two ninety nine a person for
the whole year. Yes, and it starts in May and
it goes to the following week.

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
This already passed, right, No, it's right.

Speaker 3 (01:22:37):
Today is the last day you go to frontier dot com.
You can do it today. And then the bags bags, yes, bags,
they will get you. But if you're only going for
a couple days, you can backpack that and pay a
carry on you know what I mean, carry on seventy.
I don't know how much your frontiers. If you get
the Frontier credit card like Amy has, then you get
the two free bags.

Speaker 2 (01:22:59):
So there you go. How out return flight?

Speaker 3 (01:23:00):
So if I can't get a flight after scrabble to
get a hotel, yes, it is, Yes it is. I
mean there's it's it's it's two and ninety nine. So
you can fly wherever you want to go. But you
got to work the system and then work to get
back as well.

Speaker 2 (01:23:12):
Though. Exactly which is the problem.

Speaker 3 (01:23:14):
Well, she has not had any she said, she has
not had any problems.

Speaker 5 (01:23:16):
You just have to do your due, do diligent because
you're checking not only the blackout dates on the way there,
you better not get a blackout date on the way back.

Speaker 2 (01:23:23):
So it has to be don.

Speaker 3 (01:23:24):
Want to go ahead and look and find out what's
going on there. But I think this is a really
good deal.

Speaker 2 (01:23:28):
Oh I'll look at it, and I'll look at it.

Speaker 3 (01:23:29):
I mean, I think I think this sounds very appealing
because I flew as a as a non rev a
non revenue passenger, which was a standby passenger for years,
and I had mostly great experiences, but I also had
some horrible experiences trying to fly as an non rev.

Speaker 2 (01:23:48):
I was in Los Angeles.

Speaker 3 (01:23:49):
I had to get to Tallahassee, Florida for a wedding
I was in So Friday afternoon, I go to the
airport in LA to get myself to Tallahassee. Like all
these flights had canceled, so everything was overbooked.

Speaker 2 (01:24:03):
I ended up flying overnight.

Speaker 3 (01:24:05):
Left eleven pm, flew to Atlanta, flew Atlanta to Tallahassee,
arrived in Tallahassee forty five minutes before the wedding. My
girlfriend met me at the airport. I put on my
dress at the airport, and we drove to the wedding.
So that kind of stuff, if you don't have the
nerves for it, I would not recommend it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:23):
We have the nerves for this.

Speaker 5 (01:24:25):
I think too much has to go right for each
trip to work, Like the right flight time on a
Friday to make the Friday night they're worth it. The
right flight time on a Sunday night to not get
tipped back too late, but late enough to we made
the most out of the afternoon Sunday. Both those days
not blacked out. Good health good hotel fair. There's a lot,
I mean, there's.

Speaker 2 (01:24:44):
A lot of stuff going in.

Speaker 3 (01:24:45):
But I know it's one of those things where if
you go, we're going to do this this year, yeah, Jo,
We're going to go for it this year and see
how much we use it.

Speaker 5 (01:24:52):
But if you use it, yeah, like two or three times,
you paid worth it the whole year already. So even
if you only can make it work a few times,
yeah worth.

Speaker 3 (01:25:01):
Somebody said, that's a whole lot of work to fly
on a crappy airline. What it is is you are
using that airline to get from point A to point B, right,
That's that's the sole purpose. And if it allows you
to do these fast trips. Before Chuck and I got married,
we used to do a lot of like weekend trips
that we'd leave Friday afternoon, come back Sunday afternoon to
go to places to see if we wanted to go

(01:25:21):
back there.

Speaker 5 (01:25:22):
This Frontier good like with non stops to a lot
of places in the country.

Speaker 3 (01:25:25):
Like I said, Frontier left me hanging like several maybe
ten years ago, and I just have not gone back,
just won't do it well. Look, and I don't like
to be lookland dined. So I don't like to be
nkaland dined in any situation. There's a cruise lines like
Royal Caribbean has gotten to be real nickel and dimy
and I'm I'm not doing that. I just want to pay.

(01:25:46):
On un World, the ship we were just on, everything
is included. Everything, your booze, your meals, your excursions with
guides that are really really good, all of that stuff
is now you pay upfront for it, but everything is included.
It's so even your tips are included.

Speaker 2 (01:26:03):
It's so nice.

Speaker 5 (01:26:04):
So if you're paying for it regardless's a matter of
whether it's upfront or not.

Speaker 2 (01:26:08):
Yeah, exactly, That's what I'm saying. It's like the other
one now.

Speaker 3 (01:26:12):
Want to have to nickel and dime, though I'd rather
need the money. I just take my money and give
me what I need. I don't want to have to
pay you for anything else. Just take my money. And
I think that you know. I use a bag that
goes under the seat free. You can find some nice
sized ones on Amazon, guaranteed to fit under the seat.
I will tell you this that I've heard from more

(01:26:33):
than one person. Frontier Is incentivize their gate agents to
ding you for your bag being a millimeter too large,
and they get rewarded when they charge you a bag
fee for.

Speaker 5 (01:26:45):
That weary full on like yeah yeah yeah, So be
very very careful that your bag meets the exact specifications.

Speaker 2 (01:26:54):
Think it was United, but at the gate.

Speaker 5 (01:26:56):
We did a trip where three of our party paid
like a one hundred dollars each for a bag at
the gate, like ninety nine dollars per bag. That it
was cool one barely within that parameter. It was border
line like a millimeter.

Speaker 3 (01:27:12):
I mean if it is if it is a like
a single strand of hair too big, they will.

Speaker 2 (01:27:16):
Ding you for one hondo each at the gate. Now unreal.
We had no option. We had to do it.

Speaker 3 (01:27:21):
I will see that's and again that's where they get you.
I have a beautiful Southwest stuffle bag that has become
our go to when we like, we just went to
the Christmas market strip. I put the southwestuffle bag in
the suitcase and then on the way back that becomes
our third bag that we pay for, which is like, here,
take this bag.

Speaker 2 (01:27:37):
It's our third bag.

Speaker 3 (01:27:38):
But I got that bag because I get to the
airport and they weigh my suitcase they're like, oh, your
suitcase is one pound over. Would you like to pay
seventy five dollars in an overweight bag fee? And the
lady leans down, pulls up this blue bag, or would
you like to buy this Southwest bag for twenty five dollars.
I'm like, sign me up for the Southwest bag? Sign
me up. The only time anybody who ever worked for
an airline ever tried to save me my we did.

Speaker 5 (01:28:01):
We did have a bag go one pound over, and
we looked and we go, you're good.

Speaker 3 (01:28:05):
Yeah, Well, we now have a scale. We have a
luggage scale, and we weigh everything. And when I go
to the fifty pounds is a limit? I am at
forty nine point five.

Speaker 2 (01:28:14):
Every time we did too. But on the way back
it gained a little where like.

Speaker 3 (01:28:17):
Go, oh, that's when you got to pack the extra bag.

Speaker 2 (01:28:20):
We're ready to put stuff in the backpack.

Speaker 3 (01:28:22):
Yeah, checking another bag is always easier than paying the over.

Speaker 2 (01:28:27):
A bag where you are and then oh wait, put
it on the plane.

Speaker 3 (01:28:30):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (01:28:31):
We have a set, not a set, but we have
a group of luggage that are this luggage.

Speaker 3 (01:28:35):
We bought it goodwill on vacation because we didn't have
another bag. So now when someone comes to visit and
they buy stuff here, we're like, here, take the.

Speaker 2 (01:28:42):
Suitcase with you. We have we have to go suitcase,
and then you return the bag when you get back.
You know, we just go to goodwill and buy it
for like five dollars. We buy it at the store
we know is also at home, and then return the
bag at home. It doesn't get stuffed up.

Speaker 5 (01:28:57):
I mean maybe a little, but not enough to have
them never say no, like we have things we bought,
we need a bag.

Speaker 2 (01:29:04):
We don't want to pay for a bag. We'll just
return when we get home.

Speaker 3 (01:29:06):
Mandy, why'd you wait till the very last day to
make the deal known? I wish I had more than
a couple of hours to pull the trigger on this.
Is it midnight if you there's like seven hours left
on this too to think about it? Well, hang on,
let me let me look at it right here front Tier.
They really should pay us for giving them all this
free publicity. But you know whatever, it's fine. Oh no,
that's the wrong thing for Tier Airlines.

Speaker 2 (01:29:26):
I did the same thing.

Speaker 3 (01:29:27):
Yeah, that's inconvenient that that some other company has has
that website.

Speaker 2 (01:29:33):
Wild it increases to four nine.

Speaker 3 (01:29:37):
After Yeah, and that to me is too big a lift,
you know what I mean, Like four ninety nine seems
too much right.

Speaker 2 (01:29:44):
Now too or it seems okay. Earned fifty miles and
one hundred.

Speaker 5 (01:29:47):
Dollars flight voucher plus two free check bags with a
credit card right now?

Speaker 3 (01:29:50):
No, I mean a rod now we're talking now we'll
cooking with gas?

Speaker 2 (01:29:53):
Is two free check bags just once, no forever. That's
what Amy was saying. Oh, dear lord, if you.

Speaker 3 (01:29:59):
Have the credit card and you stack it with this,
then you've got free bags and now you have cheap flights.

Speaker 2 (01:30:04):
So I'm just saying.

Speaker 3 (01:30:06):
This would be if you want to travel more, this
is probably one of the most.

Speaker 2 (01:30:09):
Efficient ways to do. Zach.

Speaker 3 (01:30:11):
Do you like to travel? Zach has joined us in
the studio.

Speaker 2 (01:30:14):
I love to travel whenever I can get the opportunity to. Yeah,
where have you gone recently? Man, I haven't gone anywhere
in a while. I'm excited, though. I hopefully have some
trips coming up here this summer. Very nice, very nice.

Speaker 3 (01:30:27):
So that's one thing this person said. They sell coats
you can pack with stuff. I do know that at
least one of the major airlines I don't know if
it was United, Delta or American. They're actually stopping people
trying to get on wearing like fifteen layers of clothing,
which I think is stupid on that airline because you
do get a carry on bag unless you're trying not

(01:30:48):
to check a bag at all, Mandy. First flight in
the morning or last flight at night, best chance when
standing by.

Speaker 2 (01:30:56):
That is absolutely correct. And he doesn't stand by though,
is it?

Speaker 3 (01:31:00):
It's not standby because you bought a ticket. Like once,
you buy the ticket the day before, but you have
to wait until the day before, and you gotta gotta
think about which flights are going.

Speaker 2 (01:31:09):
To be the most open, so it takes a little strategy.

Speaker 5 (01:31:13):
So you buy this and you know, even like you
said May to May, so this isn't even starting to
till me.

Speaker 3 (01:31:17):
Yeah, right, yeah, Mandy. A friend of mine just flew
for Frontier. Her bag was forty one pounds. Their limit
is forty. They charged her for the extra pound, plus
forty five dollars to talk to the person at the desk.
Holy schnikes. And that, my friends, is why I don't
fly front here. I'll pay them more money. It's fine,
it's all good.

Speaker 2 (01:31:38):
Anyway. Ah, and now.

Speaker 3 (01:31:41):
We'll go a little early becausezack'son here.

Speaker 2 (01:31:42):

he's useful. Anyway, now it's time for the most exciting

A movie category and this is the answer, just paraphrase.

Speaker 2 (01:33:31):
The answer was.

Speaker 3 (01:33:34):
The inability to get cores beer outside Colorado inspired this
race to do so. And none of them knew the
movie Smoking in the Bandit. I'm like, you know salamanders,
but you don't know Smoking in the Bandit? What is
wrong with you people? I was sad for all of them. Anyway,
