01-17-25 FULL SHOW - How Mushrooms Can Be A Health Game-Changer, and Remembering David Lynch

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Whoam It feels good?

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Doesn't Its good gets you amped up for the next
three hours.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
I gotta say this, this is gonna ye.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm sure that there are those of you in my
listening audience who are tired of hearing me talk about
things like exercise and working out and lifting weights and
eating rig I'm sure you are.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
But I gotta tell you, guys one more time.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
This morning, I had just a super freaking hard workout
and I feel amazing right now. I feel strong and
I'm a fifty five year old woman. Okay to feel strong,
I just I it just is so good, and I
want everybody to feel this way. So that's why I
kind of harp. Do you lift weights at all?

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Zach A little? A little? I need to get better
about it, hoping.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
To in the new year.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Boy, it is the best stress reliever in the entire world.
It really is. And just knowing that you can lift
something heavy or getting yourself off the floor depending on
your age, you know, is so empowering. That's the word
I have to use. And this is what I say
to women who are like, oh, I don't want to
lift heavyweights because they don't want.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
To get big.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
You're not gonna get big. There's a whole bunch of
other things that go into getting big. Because if just
lifting weights made you big, every fifteen year old boy
would be big. But it's the knowing that you're strong
enough and you feel strong. It just is really, really,
really good. So that's my little sidebar on that. Now
I might be so sore by the end of the
show that I might need help standing up. We'll cross

(01:30):
that bridge when we come to it. Right now, I'm
sitting down. It's all good, all good. Let's go to
the blog, shall we, Because today's show I got a
lot of really really sort of a little bit of this,
a little bit of that, a little bit from over here,

And now the kiffness does Billy Eilish with a cat
my latest musical obsession. This reporter speaks for us all
some Princess bride trivia for you, and the Supreme Court
upholds the TikTok ben.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Right on to those are the headlines on the blog
at mandyslog dot com. I'm lightheaded after that. I had
no idea how long that blog was until right now.
Holy MACARONI, lots of stuff. You people should be grateful,
you should be crazy. You should just be thinking you're
lucky stars that I do this kind of work for you. Okay,

(03:50):
here's who's coming on the show today. I'm super excited
about this. So former Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer gonna be
joining us today. Now, whenever you look at what NFL
athletes do after they play the game, usually it falls
into one of three categories.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Number one, they go into real estate.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Number two they go into finance of some sort, or
number three they buy some sort of retail establishment, a
car dealership, a chain of movie theaters, whatever it is.
So you know, your successful NFL players or you know who,
want to keep that money going.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
That's sort of a not Jake Plummer. He's like, you
know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna grow mushrooms, the
not the psilocybin kind. These are what's known are as
functional mushrooms, and they make products that are designed to
give you a better performance as an athlete. I find
this fascinating.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
I knew nothing about functional mushrooms, and last night I
started reading a little bit. It's really really interesting. I
have to love mushrooms. Do you eat a lot of mushrooms?

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Act is that you enjoy mushroom.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Count I love mushrooms and I put them in a
lot of things that they probably don't belong in because
they give it a little umami and a little you know,
little chew, a little texture there. And I make really
good cream of mushroom soup, very good. It's mostly mushrooms.
I hate when you order cream of mushroom soup and.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
It's just smooth. I want chunks, you know what I mean.
You want the mushrooms. Yes, there's a mushroom in there,
not just the hints of a mushroom. Anyway.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
So Jake is coming on at one o'clock to talk
about his company, get Umbo and functional mushrooms overall.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
So he's going to join us for that.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
At two o'clock today, we're going to talk to Jill
Schenkel Henwood from the Nathan Yipp Foundation, the Nathan yip Foundation,
super Cool Foundation. They provide money for teachers in rural
school districts and you can use it for anything that
you either don't that you need in your classroom, or

(05:47):
if you want to do something a little above and
beyond in your school, can't afford it, you can put
in for a grant. It's a wonderful organization and they're
big fundraisers coming up to provide these grants for rural teachers,
and that's coming up in February. So we're going to
talk to them about both the program because I know
we reach a very large area and into a lot

(06:08):
of rural communities on Koa.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
We are the King of Agriculture, Zach, did you know that?

Speaker 6 (06:14):
What is?

Speaker 4 (06:15):
Now?

Speaker 1 (06:15):
That's what KAOI stood for a time. I've been wondering
this time. That's what it was.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
That's what it started out with the blowtorts of the Rockies,
King of Agriculture. And so I also want to make
sure that the teachers in that area know about these
programs so they they can go ahead and apply and
get something extra for their classes. So I love it.
I just think it's fantastic. And then yesterday a new
manufactured controversy by Tatay.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Anderson, the man who.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Just can't annoy people any more, actually probably can so
manufactured controversy between he and Mayor Mike Kaufman, who, as
Mayor Kaufman said, did use his outside voice at Katy Anderson.
But Jimmy Singenberger wrote a column on it. We're gonna
talk to Jimmy at two thirty so as you can see,

(07:07):
it is a very busy show.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
I also will do and ask me.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Anything where you can text me five six, six nine,
oh and anything within reason it's not disgusting, I will answer.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Okay, So you.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Got that going for you, Mandy, who doesn't like mushrooms,
they're such a fun guy get it fun guy joke,
and I delivered that perfectly. Therefore, to point that out,
I knew where that joke was going.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Mandy, did you see the mother dogs save her puppy
and turkey?

Speaker 6 (07:38):
No?

Speaker 1 (07:39):
I did not see that.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Please email me the link Mandyconnell at iHeartMedia dot com.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Uh this text or.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
I tried Jakes sleep formula and it works. While I
don't know he's sleep better. I get more out of
whatever sleep I'm able to eat out there you go.
Do you know what has made a huge difference for
me in my sleep is not eating after six pm
and not eating carbohydrates at dinner at all. Those two
things have made such a huge difference in sleep and

(08:09):
not and not drinking. I mean, if you drink alcohol,
you're messing You're messing your sleep up.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
That's just that's just a fact. For some of us,
it's critically messing up sleep.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Anyway, I've got so much stuff on the blog. I
want to talk about this story very very quickly though,
because uh, Representative Britney Peterson, who I philosophically disagree with
on pretty much everything.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
She's a very reliable Democrat.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
And she's asking for a rules change that I support wholeheartedly.
And it has to do with the fact that she
is now pregnant and there's a certain point in a
pregnancy where the airlines will not allow you to fly anymore.
So she has now entered into the you can't fly
anymore until you have this baby phase of pregnancy, and

(08:55):
she's saying, look, there has to be a way to
allow proxy voting for members of Congress to our new
parents under the rules.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Of the House.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
For the one hundred and nineteenth Congress. This is a
very outdated thing. We now have technology. Representative Patterson could
sit at home, being usually pregnant or just having a baby,
and she can watch the goings on on c SPAN.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
She can follow along, and then she should be able.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
To communicate her proxy to someone to cast her vote.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
It is if we're going.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
To have women, especially young women of child bearing age,
in Congress, we have to make accommodations for them. Now,
if someone is also at home fighting cancer, why can't
they proxy vote as well. It seems like this should
have been done a long time ago, with technology being
what it is now. Of course, you could put some
parameters in there if you're dealing with an illness or

(09:49):
an illness of a family member.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
I mean, make it.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Very specific, not just I feel like staying home and
throwing a proxy vote, not like I'm going to work
from home today.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Congress doesn't get to do that.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
But there should be a way to accommodate people who
are new parents, or people who are giving birth, or
people who are dealing with an illness.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
It's ridiculous with.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Today's technology that this hasn't already been done.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
So in this area.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
I am in complete and total agreement with Representative Brittany
Petterson that this needs to happen. And congratulations to she
and her husband on the birth of their their there're
soon to be child.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
So there you go. Isn't chunky cream of mushroom super oxymorn?
Text here asked? And you know what, you may have
a wee bit of a point, except I assume it
is cream of mushroom, meaning it has cream in it,
which it does not creamed mushroom, which would imply that

(10:48):
all of the mushrooms have to be creamed. So you're
missing an ed in your argument, Sir or Madam Mandy.
What was the cause of death for Ronda Massey?

Speaker 2 (10:58):
I do not know, Thomas Congressman Thomas Massey's wife, Ronda
passed away a little over maybe six six seven months ago,
completely unexpectedly. She was not an old woman, and I
don't know. I don't know the cause of death. I
don't know that they announced it. And I know Thomas,
and I'm friendly with Thomas, and we've been actually texting

(11:20):
back and forth the last couple of weeks. But I
just feel like that's such a highly personal question and
we are not that level of friendly does it respiratory complications? Okay,
that's the official thing. It was absolutely tragic, and they've
been together since they were like fourteen, and they're you know,

(11:41):
I told this.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
I said this earlier on the show.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
I think that part of Thomas Massey's increasing irascibility crankiness
has been because.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Of his wife's death.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
I don't think his principles have changed at all, but
I think his snorkiness.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
And level of.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Discussed that he's been showing was probably kept in check
better when he was married to his sweetheart. So and
I do think he's been graving her loss, of course.
So anyway, Hey, Mandy Brittany is my rep and I
rarely agree with her, but I'm one hundred percent behind
her on this.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
I am too, and I.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Would hope that it would be Republicans that would push
this over the line. If they are truly the party
of family values, then you should make it easier for
people to have that time and still be able to
represent the people that they were elected to represent. And
you know, women of child bearing age shouldn't have to
feel like they should be excluded. I just think this

(12:40):
is one of those here's the thing, like, I don't
even to understand why we can't do more business with
Congress virtually. I don't understand where everyone in the flipping
world knows how to use a zoom call right, everybody
in the world knows how to use technology. I don't
understand why they have to spend so much time in Washington,

(13:03):
d C. Now, I say that rhetorically because I do
understand it makes it so much easier for them to
be wined and dined by all the lobbyists who are
trying to buy their vote.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
It makes it much harder for the lobbyists.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
To wine and dine and buy everybody's vote when everybody
is in their individual states.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
But I always think about like, and I can't of course,
I can't think of an example right now. But you know,
you see these movies.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
From the future, and they're basically everybody's a hologram.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
You know what I mean, Like, why can't we do that?

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Everybody's a hologram and they all sit there and they
participate from their home, because why can't we do that? Well,
then they can't horse trade behind closed doors. I'm not
interested in them horse trading behind closed doors. I have
a story on the blog today about Colorado's Democrats, who
last year passed a bill along party lines that exempted

(13:53):
the Colorado Legislature from Colorado open records laws they exempted themselves. Now,
Republicans have continued to hold all of their caucus meetings
in public, properly noticed, and the Democrats have not. So
whenever I know someone is like, no, we can't do
the people's business in front of the.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
People, you are immediately suspect.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
And I don't understand why other people are not more
outraged by this. I truly don't. So it's everything should
be transparent. This would be one of those things. How
much money do you think they spend flying people back
and forth between their districts.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
They don't pay for that, So why are we doing
so much business in DC? It would be much nicer
to know that if I have.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
A problem in the fourth Congressional District, I can walk
in and talk to the congresswoman. I don't think she'd
be happy to see me, but I could do it. Mandy,
when can we hear the political view of Jinx.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
The pop well.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
I've been debating about whether or not to tell the
story since it happened. Jenky's got hit by a car
this week, and she's fine. She's perfectly fine.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
If she's a small dog, she'd be dead because I
would have killed her. But she ran out in front
of a guy who slammed on the brakes and did
everything in his power to not hit her.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
But she got clipped. She got hit in the back
quarter on the on the on the driver's side, you know,
on that side.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
But she is she is fine.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
And she had spent the entire week with either the
cone of shame around her neck or a sock on
her back leg, so her back legs, she had a
couple of.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Abrasions that had to heal.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
So right now she's relying very heavily on the large
s of the government of the household.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
So she's basically in the welfare state pretty much the dog.
But she is fine. But man, it was terrifying. It
was horrible.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
I saw everything happen in slow motion. Ah, and the
guy stopped and he was horrified, And I was like, sir,
you did nothing wrong. You did a okay, you feel
you don't worry about a thing.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Stupid dog.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Golly, And then when you think you have to carry
a dog, the Weys one hundred and fifty pounds back
home because yeah, we were on a walk. Luckily she
just trotted back home. We want the majority of the
public to return to.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
Their office to work as if it's a real job.
But we're going to let our congress folks phone it in.
What the f That's not what I'm talking about. That's
not what I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
What I'm talking about is having them do their work
in their district instead of doing their.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Work in DC.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
Their work can be done, they're not mainly in on
a phone call. That's not at all what I was
talking about. And if you can't, maybe you don't use them.
Maybe you're the last person.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
I don't know. Mandy had a Congress function during COVID
a little too well.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
At handing out free money. And now we're all paying
the price in inflation. But whatever, it's fine. But Mandy,
think of how much more work they could get done. Ugh,
But they would have to look at the faces of
the people in their district. They would have to put
up with protesters outside their doors. They would have to
be accountable to the people who elected them. That's it.
The more time they spend in the district, the more

(17:18):
accountability they have.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
The less time.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
They forget about the little people, They forget about everybody.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Mandy with jings and size. How much damage to the car?
No damage? The car was okay.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
I mean he just clipped her ran over a little foot,
but it was fine.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Anyway, We're gonna.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Take a quick time out when we get back. I've
got a couple things. Number One, I've got a controversial
subject and we're gonna talk about it.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
And this particular subject is a source of great conflict
between me and my husband, So we're gonna do that
right after this.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
And I have a controversial subject, and I'd like to
pull this up from the Denver gazett the headline how
long should you warm up your vehicle in the winter?

Speaker 1 (18:13):
The answer may surprise you, Zach.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
How long do you let your car warm up in
the winter, like this week, when it's going to be ooh, oh,
my goodness cold?

Speaker 1 (18:21):
How long are you gonna get in there and let
it go? Not long?

Speaker 3 (18:25):
I mean I need to, I should probably let it.
No you don't, Oh really?

Speaker 6 (18:29):
No?

Speaker 1 (18:30):
What Yere's your car? Pretty new, pretty new, It's.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Properly lubricated, and it just takes the time that you
put on your seat belt, get everything situated, and then
you can drive away.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Good to know. I did not think that was the case.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Triple A says, start the engine and allow it to
idle for only the time it takes you to fasten
your seat belt. This ensures that lubricating oil gets to
all of your engines's vital parts. Driving the cart normally
and avoiding hard acceleration brings the engine to a warmer
temperature faster, and also reduces wear and exhaust emissions a
little while longer in winter while you clear snow and

(19:07):
ice from the windshield and other car purse, you can
do that.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
So got that this is Chuck is a warming up guy.
I am not.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
I am a get in and drive away person. And yeah,
what was that?

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Was that me or you? I don't know if that
was me or you?

Speaker 2 (19:25):
And this is whenever I bring this up and now
I'll start to get the text messages at five six six,
And I know from people that will tell you that
it's a conspiracy by the auto repair industry that you
know f They'll be like, fine, you do that, and
I won't and uh and and you know, we'll see
who's I've drive my cars for a really long time.

(19:47):
I'm currently driving at twenty fifteen and it is in
perfect shape. So you know how much longer I'll be
driving that twenty fifteen could be another ten years.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (19:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
We're gonna have to wait and see. So I keep
my cars for a really, really really long time and
generally speaking, and I should knock on wood? Here? Do
you knock on wood? Do the kids today still knock
on wood? Is that a thing?

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah, that's okay, survived from the dark ages. My friends,
I'll throw the salt over their shoulder. Oh, I do
that too. It's so dumb, and honestly, every time I
do it, I'm like, this is so dumb, but I
do it. I don't forward chain letters. Okay, I haven't
gone that far down the rabbit hole, but I do
throw salt over my shoulder like an idiot. Some things
just stick, and you don't know why. We'll think about it.

(20:34):
We we say God bless you when soap one sneezes that.
That is a part of polite society that I engage in,
and I always appreciate it when someone else gives me
a blessing after I sneeze but it's rooted in nothing
but superstition, and yet it's just an ingrained part of
our culture. We don't even think about it. That's off spirits.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Well, there's a whole bunch of and I have looked
into this over over and over again through the years.
There's a lot of conflicting information about where that came
from or what we were doing. Some say that as
when people expired as the bibotic plague, the last thing
they did before they expired with sneeze, so people would
say God bless you because they were basically passing away.

(21:18):
Then there is also the equally supported story that people would.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Say God bless you because they thought.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Of sneeze was spirits leaving the body and they wanted
to make sure they couldn't get back in. And if
you think about it, in the term of they called
them spirits, but now we call them viruses. They might
have been onto something. You know, Mandy, I warm it
up to get warm inside. Mandy, you don't have to
warm up, but a little warm up will not hurt.

(21:45):
But you know, you're just war wear and tearing your
engine more. You know, not everyone has the garage, ma'am.
You know what I will take that. I will take
that criticism. That is a fair criticism. Texture Mandy also
part of the warm up process of getting oil to
temperature so that it can lubricate things properly. For example,
five W thirty is a rating of viscosity at cold

(22:07):
versus hot temperatures. But with more modern oil we are
getting better viscosity from the get go. Synthetic oil has
a very good viscosity. So it's all these advances have happened.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
All of these Mandy long warm ups were required for
cars with carburetors to prevent carburetor icing and stalling. A
minute or so warm up on new cars is fine. Incorrect,
that's a bunch of commi mumbo jumbo, says the texterer. No,
I like that text.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
That is a good text because not only did you
get commi in there, but you misspelled commi commie.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
You also got mumbo jumbo. That is a top quality
text right there.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Really is Mandy twenty twelve ram with two hundred and
thirty five thousand miles and in winter I let it.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Warm up, no problem.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
So far, I only have like one hundred and nine
thousand miles on my car, and it's almost ten years old,
because I don't drive when we drive truck drives. Because
this truck is much more comfortable. He has a Tundra,
a big crew cap Tundra.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
That thing.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
We had had SUV's for the longest time, and then
all of the kids got super tall, and I don't
care what suv you have.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
The leg room in the backseat sucks. It just sucks.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
So we looked at the Tundra for that thing is outstanding,
so spacious inside. It's not even funny. Great truck anyway,
God be with you AKA Godbye. Interesting Now, I did
not know that shut the front door. That's where Goodbye

(23:43):
came from. That's something I've never given an iota's worth
of thought to until right this second. Mandy, ask you
anything question. I heard you talking about Naked Lunch the
other day. I researched it and bought it Downrite the
strangest book I've ever read, twenty pages in and really
not sure where it's going.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
Does it get clearer? Absolutely not.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
That is part of the charm of The Naked Lunch
by William S.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Burrows.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
It was written in a drug induced haze, and it
reads like it was written in a drug induced haze. Uh,
you just kind of have to lean in Texture and
just go I am going to suspend my disbelief.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
I Am going to just.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Pretend like I am in accommodation of heroin and methamphetamine.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
That's what You just lean in like that and you
read it.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Here's the thing I'm The first time I read that,
it probably took me a year because.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
I would pick it up and then I'd be like, what.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
The same experience as texture is having, and I'd put
it down and then I'd pick it back up.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
But it didn't matter.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
It was there was absolutely nothing I was missing my
you know, going long periods and bringing it in.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
So yeah, Mandy.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
I've heard that we say God bless see when we sneeze,
because your heart stops for a brief moment when you sneeze, you.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
Die a little bit. Well that's up lifting Steve Geez Louise.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Mandy Prince partied like it's nineteen ninety nine. I drive
like it's nineteen ninety nine, Mandy. I wore my car
up till the heat works. It's a two thousand and
one Mustang with three hundred and thirty eight thousand miles
on it. Oh, ly cal You should reach out to
Ford with that one, because even really old Mustangs don't
have that kind of mileage on them. And at what

(25:30):
point do you have a nineteen ninety nine Mustang and
you decide that it is now a vintage car two
thousand and one Mustang, sorry, and put it in the
garage like all the guys who have vintage cars do.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
We had a car.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Show in southwest Florida and we had to find the
day that was the least likely to have any rainfall,
because if a drop falls out of the sky, all
these obscenely rich guys with these incredible, incredible classic cars
would not get them out of the garage. They're like, oh,
I mean if one tiny rain drop felt They were like, no,

(26:05):
they can't do that.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
We works it out. It's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Two thousand and seven Ram, three hundred and fifty six,
eight hundred and sixty five miles.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Let it warm up. There you go, Mandy. And my
son is six ' ten.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
He only fits in the front seat of my Ram.
No more SUV back seats. The SUV backseats suck. They're
all awful, terrible. The reason I have the car that
I have, I have a Mercedes like a mom car,
an suv stationmag and look a thing.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
And it is because in.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
The third row of seats, I can actually sit in
the third row seats straight up and down, but my
knees barely hit the seat in front.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
And that's why I bought the car, because in the off.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Chance that I need that third row seats normally. My
entire family is giant. They got to be able to fit.
I mean, don't get me wrong. It's not comfortable, but
it's doable. Sometimes that's all you need. Let's take it
a quick time out.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
I'll be right back.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
You're my kindred spirit people. I hate shopping for a car.
I hate it trying to decide what I want and
trying to, you know, figure out what the cost of
ownership is.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
I do all that stuff. So that's why I keep
a car. I just like, can't be bothered.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
I'll just do it every ten years or something or
fifteen or whatever.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
It's fine. It's a okay, Mandy.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Since you brought up height, has the que passed you yet? No,
I don't think she's going to. I don't think she
is going to.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Uh. I think she's done growing. I got done growing.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
In ninth grade and I was five ten, and she's
a little tiny bit shorter than me, like nine, maybe
five nine and a half. I think she's done, though,
I don't feel like she's gonna grow a whole much more.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Mandy. Is this the number? Oh? Yes, it is the
number for Mandy.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
I want to let you know that I have a
Toyota Highland or SUV and has great middle seat leg room,
but only two seats.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah. Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Hey, Mandy, I'm at the drive through getting lunch right now.
My total was seventeen dollars and twenty three cents. Gave
the girl a twenty dollars bill at a quarter. She
had to get her phone out and type it into
her calculator to figure out my change.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Are all kids really that dumb? Now? Yes, I'm so sorry. Yes,
do you not account back change? Zach? How old are you?
I'm twenty five? Okay, so do you not account back change? Yeah?
Of course? Okay, I mean and two pennies?

Speaker 7 (28:39):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Oh, look at you show it off, bam, look at you. Yeah,
that is that is I Now stop watching them struggle
and just tell them what to give me back.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
And they're usually so grateful that I'm that I'm helping
out them out of a bind that they don't even.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Look it up. Yeah. Yeah, So the warm up and
warm up A lot of you do, a lot of
you don't. This is a text here, Mandy.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
The minimal increase in longevity, even if true, of a
vehicle by the start and go method versus warming up,
is it worth it to me? I'd rather sacrifice longevity
for comfort. I have a two thousand and five to it,
and I took coma with two hundred and forty one
thousand miles and still runs perfect.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
And I've always warmed it up in cold weather.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
I feel like I'm always late for something, you know
what I mean. I feel like I don't have time.
I feel like that is the motto of my life.
I don't have time, Mandy. My son is sixteen and
sixty two, keeps turning the pants I buy him.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
In a caprice. Isn't that having a tall ur middle son? Phil,
he's like six four. He's like six ' four maybe
you know, like kind of headed towards six ' five,
but done growing as well. And there was times that
kid would grow. He creaked like three or four.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Inches in one summer was horrible. But for like four years,
his pants were perpetually too short. He had high waters on.
It didn't matter. We would buy him jeans a fit and.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
Then like a week later they would be like, what.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Just happened to your pants? Mandy went card to a
rod By. He did not buy another car. He the
saga of a Rod's car.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
I don't want.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
To steal his thunder, but it is there's been a wrinkle,
there's been a development in the saga of.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
A Rod's car.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Now this weekend he took his lovely bride and some friends.
They went up to Glenwood Spring. So he'll be back
on Tuesday, and I'm gonna have him because the saga
of the car should be situated by then. Oh boy,
you guys, just wait, just wait, And you know what.
I think everybody in their lifetime has an experience with
a really rotten mechanic.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
Have you had that experience? Hants Zach, Not yet, No,
I'm dready.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
Oh yeah, everybody. Well, if you have the same mechanic all,
you know for a really long time. But when you
move to a new place, it is so hard to
find a good mechanic.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
It is.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
It's now it's a little bit easier with social media.
For social media, you're literally asking neighbors, you're you're asking
you know, anybody if they have a good mechanic. And
I had this mechanic. And I had this nineteen eighty
seven Chevy Camaro. What a garbage piece of car that
was so much garbage, built like garbage garbage.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
So it has a piece that perpetually broke. It costs
like two hundred fifty bucks to get fixed every time
I had to get it fixed. And then I started
going to this mechanic and every time I go, it's like, oh,
this's gonna be one thousand dollars, Oh this is gonna
be a thigh And I did have one thousand dollars
every time. I mean, it was a real stretch for me.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
And then I finally I'm watched the news one night
and they're purplocking my mechanic and they had arrested him
for fraud. I mean, it was like and I was like,
of course, of course that's my mechanic. I'd given this
guy probably six thousand dollars. You know, probably all want
credit cards at that point. I will never forget that.
And I was like Okay, gotta work harder to find

(32:05):
a good mechanic, Mandy. I'd rather change doctors in mechanics.
A then to that, Mandy, we called highwater's floods.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Hey, noah, wait for a flood. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
My youngest is a senior and I've spoiled a rotten
I go out and start a car for her so
she doesn't have to drive to school in a cold car.
Let me just say this, and I'm assuming you're the
dad here. You're not spoiling your daughter. You're teaching her
how she should be treated by her future husband, straight up.
So don't you worry about that now. If it's mom,
you're spoiling her.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Okay, stop doing that. Stop it, dad, that's your job anyway, Mandy.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
I'm almost seventy five to seven, but I'm pretty sure I'm.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Gonna have it if they're growth spurt. You know what.
I like your belief, man, I like it. You keep
on believing. Just do it. When we get back, Jake
Plumber joins us he's.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Gone from the gridiron to the mushroom fields or there's
a thing. No, they're not, but we're going to talk
about his business with functional mushrooms, not the you know,
psychedelic mushrooms when we get back. Yes, he is well

(33:21):
known to Denver Bronco fans for his antics on the field,
but now be well, he's in a completely different field
and Jake Plummer is joining us.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
Jake, welcome to the show.

Speaker 6 (33:32):
First of all, yeah, Manni, thanks for having me on
the show. It's a great honor and pleasure to be
here today.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
So I said this earlier on the show.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
But normally, when you think about retired NFL guys, especially
guys who had a long career like you did, they
go into like they own, they buy a car dealership,
or they go into financial services, or they become a realtor.
And yet Jake Plumber is in the world of functional mushrooms.
So let's start with how you be first of all,
with what are functional mushrooms?

Speaker 6 (34:03):
Yeah, you know, you left out a couple A lot
of guys even go coach or go into the booth
and start talking about the game.

Speaker 7 (34:09):
So I did. I did a little of that. Of course,
as you get out of the game, you try to
figure out who.

Speaker 6 (34:14):
You are, what you are, and what what tickles you,
what makes you feel, you know, want.

Speaker 7 (34:18):
To get up every day and be passionate about.

Speaker 6 (34:21):
Through the travels uh and those you know ups and
downs of post career, I've stumbled across some opportunities to
work with with nature and medicine and nature and plants as.

Speaker 7 (34:34):
Healing, and you know, we talk about our diets a lot.

Speaker 6 (34:37):
And you know, I heard Ziggy Marty say once in
a video I saw s I don't want to diet.

Speaker 7 (34:43):
Who wants to die?

Speaker 6 (34:44):
Man?

Speaker 7 (34:44):
I want to live it my living. This is how
I eat.

Speaker 8 (34:48):
And so you got you know, I've been just giving
it a lot of thought as I was always taught
to be cognitanive what I eat and what I put
in my body through my mom and her health journey
and being a very holistic person herself feeding.

Speaker 7 (35:00):
Me Tofu Tofu waffles.

Speaker 6 (35:02):
In the mornings and you know, Gardican honey for a cold.
Stumbled across, you know, the opportunity with functional mushrooms through
my best friend Del Jolly and business partner at Umbo,
and started taking them. And like anything, I don't get
behind anything or try to tell someone they should try
this unless it works for me. And I felt a

(35:23):
lot of relief from functional mushrooms and so functional mushrooms
being non psychoactive, fully legal, gourmet level, like basically a
food group that we don't really eat much in the
Western culture due to microphobia and the fear of you know,
there are mushrooms that grow in your yard that if

(35:44):
you eat them, they could kill you. And there's mushrooms
that grow in the woods and the most notably like
cowfeces that are psychedelic that can trip you out and
take you into you know, a whole other dimension. There's
also you know, functional mushrooms that are some of them
are gormet that you you can eat on your plate

(36:05):
for dinner, cook them up. They're an amazing you know,
supplement or an addition to your plate, or if you
want to cut out meat a little bit and still
get all of the amino acids and proteins and minerals
and all that. And there's something that you know, we've
were learning more about every day, and I'm sometimes I
shake my head too and go, how the heck did

(36:26):
I get from on the field at mile high to
you know, out in a farm ount Fort Lopton still
at a mile high grow on functional mushrooms and it's
just a fun journey. I never ever say never and
things come my way. And so it's been an educational
process to let people know that there's an organism that's
been here for a long long time that's very beneficial

(36:50):
for our health and wellness.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
You know, this is a very Western medicine thing when
you start talking about food as medicine.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
But gee, do you feel like right now.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
In our country it feels like there is a movement
building to recognize that what we put in our mouth
is the most important part.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Of how we take care of ourselves.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
Right Like, there's people that are finally saying the standard
American diet is terrible and that we need to be
looking at food to heal some of the things that we've.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Been using drugs for. I mean, is that the kind
of stuff that you guys are doing right now at Umbo?

Speaker 6 (37:24):
Yeah, I mean that's part of the whole general plan
or you know, idea behind it is what is there
in nature that can provide us with Maybe it doesn't
completely wipe out whatever you're dealing with, but it gives
you that little edge or it's a positive intervention towards
what your goals are. And I think as a society

(37:47):
we need to mind not only we talk consumption as
what we eat, but overall just consumption of everything. Like
tuning into your show, you're gonna hear good stuff. You're
gonna hear pertinent information. You're gonna learn about good things
going on. You're not going to have to process through,
you know, a bunch of of riff wrath and meth

(38:07):
and negativity and stuff that can affect you as we
consume through our eyes, our ears, our nose, our body,
our mouths. So you know, consumption in general is where
you should start if you are not healthy. And one
of those things, most definitely is what you put in
your body as an addition to you know, what you

(38:28):
do already. We have run a few you know, we're
running some studies and there's a lot of other large
organizations bigger than us that are doing studies all the
time to figure out you know, you hear a story
about a little girl that takes functional mushrooms named Lily.
Lily's Lighthouse is an organization studying functional mushrooms for children

(38:49):
with epileptic seizures.

Speaker 7 (38:52):
So when one of these kids has success or has.

Speaker 6 (38:55):
Like a profound change in their in their their lives
due to functional mushrooms, we try to educate people. So
education is really really the number one thing. And what's happening,
you know with the newly elected president and the people
who's putting in place to whatever the make America healthy again.

(39:17):
I'm all for that, so long as there's no getting
in bed with these big organizations that are going to
claim to do that but still continue to put stuff
in our food that's really a detriment to our health
and wellness.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
Agree on that last part wholeheartedly. Now I have a question.
I have some specific questions.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
We have our text line and people can text us
at five sixty six and nine, oh if they have
a question for Jake Plumber about functional mushrooms. I want
to kind of get drilled down a little bit on
how you or or your partners begin to understand which
mushrooms do what or Because you have various formulations on
the website for various different things performance related mushrooms, sleep

(39:54):
related mushroom.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
Products, So how do you drill down on that? Where
does that knowledge come from?

Speaker 6 (40:00):
Well, I mean this is knowledge has been accumulated through
time eternal from you know tribes, Roman the planet and
Roman the continent, and you know the whether it was
the men that were the hunter gatherers or the and
the women that were the forgers, and everybody was learning
what there was out there that we could eat that
wouldn't kill us, and then maybe that what we could

(40:20):
chew up and spit into a cut that would stop
the bleeding.

Speaker 7 (40:24):
And it's like it's a plant that grows in nature.

Speaker 6 (40:26):
You know, there's so much that is on this great planet,
and you know, believing in God, believing in creation of
the Earth, believing in whatever you believe in everything on
this planet, there's there's a there's a cure for everything
that we create, and there's a balance, and then nature
is the most beautiful representation of that.

Speaker 7 (40:47):
So as we've dove into this.

Speaker 6 (40:49):
We've learned through a lot of the research and for
centuries how these these wonderful organisms have been used in
China and Japan and Eastern medicine to treat a whole
plethora of maladies and disease.

Speaker 7 (41:05):
It's been done.

Speaker 6 (41:06):
This is not new, not We're not stumbling upon Lions
Maine and going whoa. You know, this guy took it
for the very first time ever five years ago, and
now look what it's doing. This stuff's been around and
been known for a long time, just not in our
lives here in the United States with Western medicine, and
as we see we see Western medicine failing hundreds and

(41:31):
hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people every day, people
are starting to want to find a natural alternative.

Speaker 7 (41:38):
So we're just relearning this.

Speaker 6 (41:40):
It's not new knowledge, it's just being able to be
a conduit for a positive change and learn that. You know,
Lion's Maine is grateful for neuronal growth and repair. It's
good for the brain, it's good to clear brain fog.
It's good for cognition and focus. It's great for an
as a activity induced anti inflammatory. It's like these things,

(42:02):
we're finding out what's in them. Now, that's the fun part.
We're breaking down the compounds to find out what it is,
how it's doing what it's supposedly doing, and going away
from believing in them as magic and actually having science
behind it to say, you know, it's these the ergothianines, therasines,

(42:24):
these compounds that we're finding in these mushrooms that really
have not been researched or broken apart.

Speaker 7 (42:30):
And that's that's where you know, the fun part of this.

Speaker 6 (42:32):
Goes, is what's next out there that we haven't found
that could be something for paintcreatic cancer like bird's nest mushroom.
There's studies out there that have had some success with
pancreatic cancer, which that's a death sentence if you get that,
and you.

Speaker 7 (42:48):
Know, if we could find something that would give somebody faith.

Speaker 6 (42:50):
I mean, that's really what drives me and what drives
the people I'm working with with UMBO to just continue to.

Speaker 7 (42:56):
Educate people that there is something out there.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
Do you have recommendation for people for migraines, especially vestibular
migraines or vertigo.

Speaker 6 (43:06):
Yeah, you know, I'm not a doctor, so it's hard
to say, you know, hey, do this for your for
your migraines and your vertigo. But there there has been,
there's studies online, There's there's.

Speaker 7 (43:17):
A lot of resources out there.

Speaker 6 (43:19):
Unlimited Sciences right there in Denver, a nonprofit that's researching
not only psychedelic research, but also functional mushrooms and more
nature and natural products online Johns Hopkins University. You know,
there's a lot of these major organizations doing studies.

Speaker 7 (43:37):
You know, I don't know enough about you know, migraines.

Speaker 6 (43:39):
I know it has that they're they plague a lot
of people. There's a lot of people suffering mightily from
you know, cluster headaches or they call them, you know,
I guess the suicide headaches.

Speaker 7 (43:51):
I mean, they're so bad you wish it would all end.

Speaker 6 (43:54):
And so I know that there's something imbalanced in bodies
that have these. And what the great thing about mushrooms
is is there adaptogenic and meaning adaptagen meaning they help
anything that's either overstimulated or understimulated, or over over producing

(44:15):
or underproducing. It brings them back to homeostasis and gets
them back to being in balance. And so will they
help If I had migraines, I would probably try them
first before going to a doctor and getting some high
powered opioid that could lead me down the road that
I don't want to go with addiction and who knows
what else. So yeah, you know it's worth looking into

(44:37):
the curious minds and the people that are looking for
a different way. I know cordyceps helps with blood flow
and oxygenating the blood, and you know, some some there's
maybe something there with moving the blood through when you
have those migraines. I know that CBD and i'd Charlott's
Web is a product I first dove into in this
arena of advocating for nature.

Speaker 7 (44:59):
I know that I have a few people close in
my circle that use that.

Speaker 6 (45:03):
Whenever they feel that migraine coming on, they take a
dose of the original formula Charlotte's Web, and within an
hour or so they're back downstairs and they're.

Speaker 7 (45:13):
Doing all right.

Speaker 6 (45:14):
And you know it's worth looking into. And I said,
I'm not a doctor. I can't diagnose anything or say yes,
this will help. But if you know, people will have
reached into their rope or they're into the line, they're like, man,
the nothing going on. Give them a try. I know
that it won't hurt your body to put them in there.
It might not cure you from your migraines, but it
might help. And isn't that worth trying?

Speaker 2 (45:36):
This texture said, Western medicine has not failed, but I
want to address that because I had a doctor of
a Western medicine practice tell me the difference between Western
medicine and Eastern medicine is that an Eastern medicine doctor
expects to have a waiting room full of patients because
he's got a bunch of sick people. A Western doctor
believes if he has a waiting room full of patients,

(45:57):
he has failed his patients because they are they are sick.
And that's kind of the difference. And I think that's
kind of what you're getting at, is that instead of
putting a band aid on the underlying issues that so
many Americans are facing, get to the bottom of the
issues and start to try and heal naturally instead of
just medicating your way through it.

Speaker 1 (46:16):
I mean, that's my take.

Speaker 6 (46:18):
Yeah, I've heard of stories in the Eastern medicine where
at the end of the year, the doctor gets paid
because you were healthy all year. You know, it's not
pay me because I'm sick, and then I'm sicker. And no,
Western medicine hasn't failed completely. There's some great advancements. If
I walked out, slipped on the ice and compound fractured
my arm, I'd be very grateful for Western medicine. But

(46:40):
if I'm having an upset stomach, or I'm having a rash,
or I'm having something of an imbalance, i am not
going anywhere near Western medicine. I'm going to go to
the herb, the herb, bal herbalist, the holistic medicine, practitioner,
the seven year old lady that's been having her own
garden for forty years and knows these things in and
out because because nature has the cure, and that's what

(47:02):
I believe in. So yes, there is a use for
Western medicine. But when you're talking about the amount of
knowledge these doctors are required when it comes to nutrition
and the amount of time they spend in there getting
their doctorate or getting their PhDd to become a doctor,
the amount of time spent learning about nutrition and diet

(47:24):
and hydration and all that is minimal.

Speaker 7 (47:28):
It's embarrassing when you know the number.

Speaker 6 (47:30):
And that's where you just said food, diet, water. That's
my first thing to people when they ask me, I'm
not feeling that I'm not doing well, by drink clean water,
eat better food, and get rest and exercise daily and
then come back to me in a month if you've
done that, and let's see where you're at. Most times
they're way better.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
Yes.

Speaker 7 (47:50):
From that, And I'm not even a doctor. I didn't
have to go to school to learned that.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
I was see a video yesterday I have two doctors
talking and one doctor said there was a recent long
term study of women this show that women who began
to exercise regularly in midlife reduce their chances of getting
Alzheimer's disease by ninety percent, and the women that did
go on to get Alzheimer's disease it deleted essentially ten years.

(48:14):
And the point the doctor made was if we had
a drug that offered that, everyone.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
Would want it, but they don't want to.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
Go exercise on a regular basis to get the same
the same effect. I've got a lot of questions about
the actual mushrooms on the text line that I want
to get to here before we run out of time.
What of it is like, you can buy the actual
mushrooms from Umbo, but do you eat them raw?

Speaker 1 (48:35):
Do you eat them cooks? What do you do?

Speaker 2 (48:37):
What's the best way to up your mushroom intake if
you're a person like me who already loves mushrooms.

Speaker 6 (48:43):
Yeah, I mean there's obviously cooking them and eating them
is a great way to do that. I think we
don't eat enough of them. You never want to eat
a raw mushroom, Never ever eat raw mushrooms. They have
kit kiten ase in them and we don't have They
have kite in them, and we don't have kiton as
in our stomachs and our gut to break that down.

(49:04):
So those of you that don't like mushrooms because they've
made you sick, it's because you ate probably eight raw
ones at a salad bar.

Speaker 7 (49:11):
Don't do that.

Speaker 6 (49:12):
We have to cook our mushrooms. We have to get
them to be bioavailable. And that's what I'm doing with
my farm Michael Love out in Fort Lupton, and then
taking the raw material and extracting it at our lab
and Longmont. I came across some beautiful humans, some wizards,
some amazing like three thinking brilliant humans.

Speaker 7 (49:31):
One of them Shane Schulman.

Speaker 6 (49:32):
That's doing the extraction methods on these mushrooms to pull
out as many of the compounds without damaging them as
he can and getting them back into a bioavailable tincture
or powder so.

Speaker 7 (49:44):
That we can take them.

Speaker 6 (49:45):
So yes, and not all all products are created equal.
A lot of them are done in different ways that
maybe can with the volatility of the methods, actually diminish
the amount of compound rich material that comes out, or
it's not the right extraction. It's just a mushroom soaked

(50:06):
an alcohol. And they called an alcohol tincture, alcohol mushroom tincture,
and so there's.

Speaker 7 (50:11):
Different ways to raise the potency.

Speaker 6 (50:13):
And that's really that's the beauty of being involved with
a company like Charlotte's Web who set the bar so high,
and now with Michael Love and then taking that and
putting it in the Humble bottles and selling it. They're
doing the same thing we're doing it at Michael Love
to raise those standards so that these mushrooms are what
we are claiming them to be, something that can help

(50:35):
your health and wellness.

Speaker 7 (50:36):
Journey.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
Jake Plummer is my guest. Jake. One more question.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
Somebody just asked what substrate do you grow the mushrooms in?
What do you actually because I'll be perfectly Frank, I
had a very good friend in college who had a
mushroom growing business, but it was not your mushrooms. So
I've seen how those mushrooms are grown. But what are
you growing these mushrooms in?

Speaker 6 (50:57):
Yeah, I mean at the farm, we have oak and
soy organic soy holes mixed together in a master mix
and you could a little water in that, sterilize it
and oculate it and let mother nature do the rest.

Speaker 7 (51:10):
So it's pretty easy but there's all sorts of different
uh you know, mixtures.

Speaker 6 (51:14):
For corceps, it's a different mixture. We use a completely
different substrate.

Speaker 5 (51:19):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (51:19):
You know.

Speaker 7 (51:20):
In nature, these things survive.

Speaker 6 (51:22):
They survive and out with everything going on in a forest,
all of the bacteria and organisms and predators and all that,
they thrive. And when you put them into it into
like our farm, in a controlled clean environment, they sometimes don't.
It's kind of weird, like once our hands get on them,
they become less able to survive, like a sneeze into

(51:45):
a bag and now you've ruined your entire batch of
mushrooms because of a bacteria or a mold. So it's
really fascinating. I've been just blessed to meet the people
I've I've come across and no good people that brought
this to me.

Speaker 7 (51:57):
And to be able to.

Speaker 6 (51:59):
Stand up here, be on the radio and have listeners
like yours, you know, have questions. It's really it's really
my purpose here on this planet for the time being
to help spread this word and will it be the
answer and the end all and you'll feel one hundred
percent better. I can't tell you that, but I know
that as a culture, we stopped using these beautiful organisms

(52:20):
back around. You know the time when a lot of
these other plants and medicines were put on the schedule
one list of drugs and people started getting persecuted for them.

Speaker 7 (52:29):
So do the research, look at our.

Speaker 6 (52:31):
History and understand that we're moving in a better direction
now to really actually address individual health and wellness.

Speaker 7 (52:37):
Also, you know, we could go on forever, man.

Speaker 6 (52:39):
I mean, it's AI and the ability to break down
individuals and what we need. You know, health Health's going
to change, and it's changed going to change rapidly, and
that's a good thing because when we're healthier, we all
can treat each other better and we can all thrive
and achieve more together when we're healthy.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
That's Jake Plumber. Get Umbo dot com is the website.
I put that on the blog today and if you
use the promo code Mandy fifteen, you can get fifteen
percent off of those products shake. This is a fascinating conversation.
I would love to be able to come see your operation.
Would that be something we could make happening.

Speaker 6 (53:13):
Have you come out and if I need to come
back on the show again, I would be glad to
do that. You know, listeners out there there they're curious
and didn't get answers. If you sign up for our
newsletter at getitombo dot com, we'll send you a free
ebook that has the Functional Mushroom Playbook is what we
called it, and it's scott a breakdown of all the
mushrooms we use, what they have been known to be

(53:34):
used for, and comparing them to other athletes so you
can kind of understand, like, oh, Chaga is kind of
like Lebron James does everything right, you know, So it's
it's good check it out and uh yeah, let's set
up a date. I'd love to be hosting Fantastic and
show you what we got going out there.

Speaker 1 (53:48):
That's Jake Plumber. We'll be back right after this. Dogs
doing dogs stuff, which is just I mean, why don't
you want to see videos of dogs doing dog stuff?

Speaker 2 (54:04):
My favorite video on the blog today is uh A
theovon sitting down with Tony Robbins zach Our, twenty five
year old producer Fillyan for Anthony RODRIEZ.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
Do you know Tony Robins is yeah, yeah, okay.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
I just there's certain things that I wonder if they're
you know, across all generations or not. And I kind
of was like Tony Robbins, I could see.

Speaker 1 (54:28):
People not knowing who he is.

Speaker 3 (54:30):
Now I know him more as like a pop culture reference.
Actually his actual work fascinating copper Field, Yeah, fascinating guy.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
Chuck sat next to him on a flight one time
and he said that Tony Robbins spent the entire flight
asking Chuck about himself and talking to you know, because
Chuck was in uniform at the time. He was in
the military, and said he was just a great guy.
But in this conversation with Theovon, who you know? Theovonn
is Okay, how did he get famous?

Speaker 1 (54:59):
What happened?

Speaker 2 (55:00):
Don't get me wrong, I find him charming, actually I
really do.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
But he's such an unexpected star of the internet with
his mullet that looks like a wig.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
Let's be real. His hair looks like he snaps it
on in the morning because it's so thick and he's
got a mullet. But he's really charming because he really
sort of puts his own foibles on display. He always
uses himself as an example of something bad.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
But in this Tony Robbins.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
Gives three ways to just change your life, and it's
all about changing perspective, and that is a message that
is so powerful if you can just do it, stop
worrying about the things you cannot control.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
Start there is that's really hard for some people. I
have no.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
Problem doing that. I'm like, that's out of my sphere
of influence. I use that phrase to help myself a lot.
That is out of my sphere of influence. It's like
people always ask.

Speaker 1 (55:51):
Me, you know, if you're in the radio industry, you
worried because people get fired all the time.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
And I'm like, no, all I can worry about is
noon to three on Koa and Denver, Colorado, and I
worry about that a lot, but I can't worry about
anything else, Like.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
That'll just make you crazy. And look for the good Father,
Mike says it you find what you seek. What you
focus on is how you feel. And that little nugget.

Speaker 2 (56:15):
If you focus on everything that could go wrong all
the time, and all the negative and everything that could
be bad, that is how you're going to feel.

Speaker 1 (56:23):
It's such a good video. I put it on the
blog today.

Speaker 2 (56:25):
I really really liked it, and I'm just going to
continue to feed you positive content until you all are
wildly happy all the time. Now speaking of wildly happy
all the time, There's an interesting thing in polling where
people will talk will answer a question one way when
talking about themselves, but when.

Speaker 1 (56:47):
As to comment on how they think other people are doing,
the answers are dramatically different. And this is a perfect example. Okay,
So the Gallup has been polling satisfaction with the state
of the nation since nineteen seventy nine.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
So since nineteen seventy nine, they say, look, are you
satisfied with the state of the nation? An Americans say
yes or no or some variation of that, and then
they ask them, are you satisfied with your personal situation?
The numbers are not even close in the United States
in twenty twenty four. Just take a wild guess a swag,

(57:30):
as my friend Neil Boards used to call it, a
scientific wild ask guest, Zach, I've got a question for you.
What percentage of Americans say they are satisfied with the
way things are going in their personal life right now
twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
Four, I'd say sixty percent. You're very close.

Speaker 2 (57:47):
Eighty percent almost of Americans say they are satisfied seventy
eight percent. Now, what percentage of Americans say they are
satisfied with the way things are going in the country,
which basically is asking how everybody else is doing.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
Oh, okay, this is gonna be much flair.

Speaker 3 (58:04):
What like four forty you've been probably high thirty thirty,
I'll say thirty.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
Not how about about twenty two percent? Yeah, so they
think that the United States not going well. Twenty two
percent say it's going well. But yet almost eighty percent.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
Of people say, but I'm satisfied with my own personal life.
And I was talking to a friend yesterday and they said,
everybody goes, hey, how you doing? And I've been saying
the same thing over and over again. Everything is so good.

Speaker 2 (58:33):
I almost feel guilty, and I'm I'm being consciously grateful
because everybody. Here's the thing, you, guys, if you're having
a terrible patch in your life, here's a news flash
for you.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
I promise it will get better.

Speaker 2 (58:48):
And if you're having a great patch in your life,
like I am, I promise it will get worse.

Speaker 1 (58:53):
It's like, you know, life is all about the ups
and down.

Speaker 2 (58:57):
Some of the waves are bigger, some of them are smaller,
but you know, it's very cyclical, and so right now,
in this period of my life, when everything's going pretty well.
I am trying to remain in a constant state of
gratitude for this because I have enough life under my
belt now to know that sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes
you're the bug. And when you are currently the windshield,

(59:18):
you better appreciate it because a bigger windshield is coming
at you from somewhere you haven't even seen yet. And
it's not being pessimistic, because if I was pessimistic, I
would think it.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
Would get bad and then it would never get better again,
which is not at all what happens.

Speaker 2 (59:31):
And what you hope for is that the good believes
are bigger and lasts longer than the tough times.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
You know. But here's the thing, a lot of this
think everything's pretty dang good. Back in twenty nineteen, that
personal life question, was it ninety percent? That was before COVID,
That was when the Trump economy was roaring, right before
COVID ninety percent. Back then, when we thought ninety percent

(59:58):
of us thought our life was good, we only thought
that the nation at forty five percent was doing well.
So we're essentially making a judgment call about the state
of the nation based not on our own individual circumstance,
But what don't we perceive other people's circumstances to be

(01:00:19):
Why is that?

Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
Dissatisfaction is a feeling. This is from the Civitas Institute
at the University of Texas at Austin. Dissatisfaction in the
way things are going in the United States is a
feeling based on perception. Crucially, what people perceive to be
true about the way things are going may not be accurate.
They are likely to be very familiar with how things
are going for them and their family, but they may

(01:00:43):
be less familiar with how things are going outside their
home and community. They may be entirely reliant on media,
cultural impressions, and statistics for.

Speaker 1 (01:00:52):
How the nation is doing.

Speaker 2 (01:00:54):
While people may be dissatisfied with the state of the
nation because they think, say, ninety five percent of people
should be sat outside with their personal lives than just
seventy eight percent, the more likely explanation for the gap
is that they misperceive how other people are doing. This
tendency for people to rate things worse as the subject
moves from their own personal lives, which they perceive accurately

(01:01:16):
to the nation is so pervasive that it has a name.
Local positivity bias. People dislike Congress but re elect their legislators.
They think the nation's schools are failing, but they like
their kids local school. The phenomenon has also been labeled
the I'm okay, they're not syndrome. I found this to

(01:01:37):
be incredibly fascinating and probably pretty accurate. This is a
perfect example of this the easiest one for me to
think of right now, and I'm sure I could think
of one on.

Speaker 1 (01:01:45):
The right as well.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
But when you talk to white liberals and they tell
you voter idea is racist and you ask them why,
they will say something some variation of well, black people
are more likely to not have ID, which is an
inherently racist belief, because you have to believe that black

(01:02:07):
people are so not as smart, inferior, incapable that they
don't have identification in a world that requires identification to
do anything that.

Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
In and of itself is a racist statement. So they
perceive this problem that black.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
People don't have ID, even though there's no data to
back that up, and it's deeply offensive to the people
that they say they are trying to protect from racism.
I mean, that's exactly the same thing. I just thought
this was very very interesting. I thought it was interesting. Anyway,
when we get back, let's see here we got to
talk about David Lynch.

Speaker 1 (01:02:45):
For a minute.

Speaker 2 (01:02:53):
I'll be back Monday, but I'll be broadcasting live from
ten to one Puerto Rico. More on that on Monday.
So David Lynch, filmmaker, artist, visionary, just a very strange man.
Not John Waters strange, but strange man has now died.

Speaker 1 (01:03:14):
And the point I was going to make that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:16):
Zach Blue right out of the water, twenty five year
old Zach, is that for gen X, at least my
group of gen X friends, David Lynch was woven through
the fabric of gen X because it was almost a
rite of passage to sit down and watch Eraserhead, which,
by the way, I can't recommend.

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
I'm just going to be blunt.

Speaker 2 (01:03:39):
Eraserhead for me was one of those movies where it
very much felt like the Emperor has no clothes. Like
everybody ran around talking about how it was just this
genius piece of filmmaking, and I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:03:49):
Like, no, it's not, no, no, it's not. It's a
college art project, is what it is. But it made
him famous, and he went on.

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
To direct such movies as Blue Velvet, which really is
is an incredibly interesting movie visually, the store, everything about
it is an incredibly interesting movie, but it's all weird
as hell. And then in the nineties he says, I'm
gonna put Twin Peaks on TV and it was must watch.
We all gathered together at someone's apartment to watch Twin Peaks.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
It was he was like this movement within gen X.
And he's now passed away at the age of seventy eight,
so you too know of the now.

Speaker 2 (01:04:29):
Tell me about when you saw Eraserhead was what was
that for you, Zach.

Speaker 3 (01:04:34):
I haven't seen it. I'm aware of David Lynch. I
haven't seen a Raserhead. I have seen a good punk
of Twin Peaks.

Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
Though a Raserhead, like I said, is I don't get it.
I truly don't. And I mean I have the ability.

Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
To appreciate an artistic film for the art.

Speaker 1 (01:04:49):
Eraserhead, for me, is not one of those movies.

Speaker 3 (01:04:52):
It's a really good top It feels like a college
kid's art project.

Speaker 2 (01:04:56):
Okay, yeah, yeah it is, and that's I mean. It
really was him trying to break through and a lot
of stuff going on, and YadA YadA, YadA.

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
So it's I don't know this one.

Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
It's not like I don't get upset about when famous
people die. Some famous people I'm like, ah shucks. When
Terry Garr died, I was like, ah shucks. I really
liked Terry Garr. But this one was it feels like
a little part of that part of my life died
in a way. In Orlando, when I was having my
last decade, we had this great theater in Orlando, it

(01:05:32):
might still be there, called the Enzeon Theater, and at
the time you can still you can still smoke in
the Enzion Theater in the back, and it was large
enough that you could actually smoke and not annoy everyone.
And they had a bar and food. It was one
of those kind of like the Alamo before the Alamo
was the Alamo and all they run in was art
house pictures. All of the guys from Blair Witch Project

(01:05:52):
were part of that Enzeon sort of group that that
was there, and it was just a time to be alive.
I tell my daughter all the time, like, you don't know,
you would not believe how cool your mom used to be.
Like I look back and now I you know, I'm
sitting here in my Costco sweater and my and I'm

(01:06:13):
just not as cool as I used to be.

Speaker 1 (01:06:15):
But I wonder how many do you guys do that
with your kids too?

Speaker 2 (01:06:18):
Do you just wish for a second you could drop
them back into whenever you were cool, whenever that was,
and maybe you were never cool. And I'm sorry if
this brings up herk feelings, but I'm just it was
just a cool, cool part of my life, one of
my favorite parts of my life to look back and
reflect on. Grateful that I'm not still there, but it

(01:06:39):
was just, you know, and David Lynch was a big
part of that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:41):
So this one was kind of like, oh man, I
sent a text to my friends that used to, you know,
sit around and we dissect all of our movies.

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
And everything and solve the world's problems. And we're all
kind of feeling the same way about David Lynch. So
rip you, weirdo. We will never have another highly artistic
David Lynch film where all of the women have perfectly
arched eyebrows to critique again.

Speaker 1 (01:07:07):
Now, coming up in the.

Speaker 2 (01:07:08):
Next hour, I have, first of all, at two o'clock,
we are going to talk about the Nathan Yipp Foundation
and the fantastic grants that they provide rural teachers. Rural
funding for schools is really, really tight, and this foundation
kind of gives rural teachers an opportunity to get some

(01:07:29):
money to buy those little extra things or even big
extra things to give their students the fullest educational opportunities.
And they have a great fundraiser coming up. We're going
to talk about all that next, and a little bit
later in the hour, Jimmy Seckenberger wrote a really good
column on the mayor of Aurora cracking back on the grifter,

(01:07:49):
Tay Tay Banks.

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
We're going to talk about that too for a rod today.

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
And now joining me from the Nathan Yip Foundation, we
have Jill Shinklehenwood to come on and talk about a
program I love so much. I love everything about this
and I'm thrilled to have them on again to talk
about it. Jill, first of all, welcome back to the show.

Speaker 5 (01:08:16):
Hey, thank you so much, thanks for having us again.

Speaker 1 (01:08:18):
Who is Nathan Yip and what is the Nathan Yip Foundation.

Speaker 5 (01:08:24):
So, Nathan Yip is a young man who.

Speaker 9 (01:08:28):
Was tragically killed in a car accident about twenty three
years ago, and his parents decided to Nathan had been
to China and had really wanted to help students in
rural areas.

Speaker 5 (01:08:44):
Originally sort of started in China.

Speaker 9 (01:08:46):
He had seen just the disparity between at education in
urban and China versus world China, and so upon his death,
his parents turned that grief and tragedy into a foundation
to rural schools internationally. So for the first fifteen years
that's what the foundation did. But in the past eight years,

(01:09:08):
the foundation has been focused on supporting schools in rural
Colorado to close that educational opportunity gap between rural and
urban schools in Colorado.

Speaker 2 (01:09:19):
And we've talked so much about the nature of property
taxes and how schools are funded, and because rural areas
have much less density, you don't have that property tax space.
So it's really a struggle for rural schools to go
above and beyond on pretty much anything because our funding
is so tight. And that is the kind of stuff
that you guys step in to fill the gap. If

(01:09:40):
you are a teacher or you know a teacher in
a rural area, and rural is defined, if you're in
a rural area, you probably know it. It's not going
to be a shock if you're on the front range,
you're not going to qualify.

Speaker 1 (01:09:51):
For these grants.

Speaker 2 (01:09:52):
But if you're in a rural school district is they
do grants for a wide variety of things. What are
some of the things you guys granted last year, Jill.

Speaker 9 (01:10:01):
So, we had last year a really fun one that
we funded, and that was our second year funding. It
was a fire Science Pathways program in Bennett. So Bennett
High School trains students with both an em S as
well as a wildfire fighting certificate.

Speaker 5 (01:10:20):
So we provided equipment and supplies.

Speaker 9 (01:10:22):
For that so they can continue to go to the
program and so students can graduate and actually walk right
into a job in wildline fire fighting, which we know
is a big need. We also funded a in Pagosa Springs,
the Alternative High School wanted to build a greenhouse and
sort of do some learning around that, and we were

(01:10:44):
able to support that. Another thing on sort of a
different level, but in Sirocco in South Route, their microscopes
were about fifty years old, so we were able to
fund all new microscopes. Forums like to bring schools into
the twenty first century.

Speaker 1 (01:11:03):
I love that.

Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
I mean, I just think, what, first of all, losing
a child is every parent's nightmare.

Speaker 7 (01:11:10):
And for the.

Speaker 2 (01:11:11):
Yips to decide to take this horrible tragedy and turn
it into something so positive and wonderful, my heart goes
out to them, but also I am filled with admiration
for them making this happen and keeping it going. Now,
you guys have to raise money for this obviously as
a nonprofit. Tell me about what's happening.

Speaker 9 (01:11:32):
February first, So we are having our largest annual fundraiser
is a Chinese New Year gala.

Speaker 5 (01:11:40):
It's to honor the heritage of.

Speaker 9 (01:11:43):
The Yep family as they are from Taiwan and China.
So it's it's our largest fundraiser. And this year we
are actually honoring Linda and Jimmydia because over since the
death of Nathan, they have committed their life to this
and have donated millions to schools internationally and just in
Colorado alone. It's win one point formally, and so the

(01:12:06):
Yips are just are instrumental to this. We are honoring
them at our gala. It is one of the largest
Chinese New Year galas.

Speaker 5 (01:12:14):
In the Metro area.

Speaker 9 (01:12:15):
We have lion dancers, a night market, traditional family style meal,
and it's really a really fun and unique event, and
so we're looking for we have a few spaces.

Speaker 5 (01:12:28):
Left and it's the Grand Tiet and it's just quite
the evening.

Speaker 9 (01:12:32):
So once again it's a way to honor their traditions
and celebrate the.

Speaker 5 (01:12:36):
Chinese New Year, but all for a really good.

Speaker 9 (01:12:38):
Cause in being able to then turn around and grant
this money.

Speaker 1 (01:12:42):
To rural schools.

Speaker 2 (01:12:44):
Prices are currently three point fifty per ticket or two
fifty for people thirty five and under. You can still
be a table sponsor for a table for ten. All
of that information is linked at the website, and I
linked to their website on the blog today. I just,
like I said, I love the mission here. I love
the fact that rural schools and rural teachers are able

(01:13:06):
to get some love. And I also wanted to talk
to you because how do people apply for these grants?
So we've talked about the fundraising, We've talked about how
do people apply?

Speaker 1 (01:13:14):
What do they have to do? They don't have to
write like.

Speaker 2 (01:13:16):
One of those serious fancy grant proposals, do they.

Speaker 6 (01:13:21):
No.

Speaker 9 (01:13:22):
You know, that's another thing when we talk about some
of the inequities, you know, big districts in the Metro
area will have designated grant writers, so we try to
keep this as easy as possible. Our school wide grants
this spring, it's a little it's a little more work
than the teacher grants in the fall, but it still
is pretty basic, just sharing information about the district and

(01:13:44):
the population and then explaining what they hope to do
and some of the intended outcomes, and then sharing a budget.
So and actually the first step is just to send
in a letter of inquiry and then we'll let them
know if they need to complete the whole application. We
really want to make it possible for small districts, small staffs.

Speaker 5 (01:14:05):
To fill out the application.

Speaker 9 (01:14:07):
So you don't need any great skills, you just need
some great ideas or a big need.

Speaker 5 (01:14:12):
And let us know.

Speaker 2 (01:14:14):
How many grants do you guys give every year? And
I'm guessing it matters how much money is in the pot,
So what do you guys average?

Speaker 1 (01:14:24):
So we used to.

Speaker 9 (01:14:28):
In prior year, so when I was here, we fund
about eight to nine program nine grant requests. The last
couple of years we have funded close to nineteen or
twenty in this way, as we've been able to sort
of share the wall of a little bit more and
also really encourage a lot of Sometimes we don't fund
the whole thing, but it encourages the community to step in.

(01:14:51):
So we really try to leverage that money to give
the community a chance to sort of, you know, raise
the rest of those but.

Speaker 5 (01:14:59):
We certainly like to see projects to completion.

Speaker 9 (01:15:02):
We probably have close to a million in requests in
our spring round cycle and have about two hundred thousand
to give away, so we really we're.

Speaker 5 (01:15:14):
Just you know, touching the surface of the need out there.

Speaker 9 (01:15:19):
But we do like to go to projects where you know,
the ten twenty thousand dollars will make.

Speaker 5 (01:15:27):
It big, big impact.

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
Right, Well, people can if you can't go to the
Chinese New Year's Gala, or you just like to make
a donation, you can do that on the homepage at
Nathan Yipp Foundation dot org.

Speaker 1 (01:15:38):
I linked to that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:39):
Again again, Spread the word with your world. Teachers, if
they have a need or they have something that they
really want to do with their kids, have them look
into this. Because someone is going to be awarded the money.
Right the money is going out, you may as well
want it to come to your community and your schools
and your teachers. And you can't do that if you
don't put in a grant proposal and go Aheadoo from

(01:16:00):
the Nathan Yip Foundation, thank you so much, and just
thank you for what you guys are doing. And please
extend my admiration and just gratitude to the Yips for me.

Speaker 1 (01:16:09):
Please.

Speaker 9 (01:16:12):
All right, we'll do that, Mandy, thank you for helping
us spread the word.

Speaker 5 (01:16:14):
We really appreciate.

Speaker 2 (01:16:16):
No problem, Thanks Jill, Happy all right, Happy New Year,
Happy Chinese New Year.

Speaker 1 (01:16:23):
There you go. Love that. I love love love this,
cause love it, absolutely love it. So a couple of things.

Speaker 2 (01:16:32):
I've got a list of three days at Denver Attractions.
Did you know this that you can go for free
on some days, Zach, twenty five year old Zach.

Speaker 3 (01:16:40):
I do. I do have a zoo member myself. I
love the free days because it helps me go with
some friends and whatnot. There you go, I'll tell you
all about it next.

Speaker 1 (01:16:56):
Bills. That was worthy of a news story, apparently.

Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
Because I guess Mayor Michael Hancock in three terms vetoed
exactly two city council.

Speaker 1 (01:17:07):
Bills and Mayor Mike is already up to do.

Speaker 2 (01:17:09):
I think that Mayor Mike Johnson has been put in
a difficult position of trying to moderate the more extreme
hard lefties on the Denver City Council, and I appreciate
him for that. Both things he vetoed were both things
that needed to be vetoed. One would have prevented the
sweep of homeless encampments if the temperatures were below freezing.

Speaker 1 (01:17:31):
And the second one, of course, was.

Speaker 2 (01:17:33):
The expansion of the needle exchange programs, and it would
have let them open up right next to elementary schools,
and that's fundamentally wrong. Children deserve better, and he vetoed
that one. So of course there's this big article is
the kids between the mayor and the city council.

Speaker 1 (01:17:50):
I don't think.

Speaker 2 (01:17:51):
Two bills out of I don't even know how many
is an indication that you know, they're in some giant conflict.
Although I see that becoming a problem going forward if
the mayor keeps asking for gobs and gobs and money
for stuff and they decide to say no. So we'll see,
we'll see what happens moving forward. The free Days Denver attractions.

(01:18:13):
When voters created the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District, that's
a regional tax district that provides funding to a ton
of arts and other organizations it meant that the people
of Denver also voted for a couple of free days,
because hey, if you're using our tax money, we deserve.

Speaker 1 (01:18:34):
A little payback, which is why if they want us
to build a new Broncos stadium, I think we all
get a free Broncos game every year. That's the only
fair way to do it. I'm just saying. But it's
actually really really cool. I like this a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:18:47):
If you've ever wanted to go to the Denver Art
Museum or the zoo or any of these things, but
you feel like the ticketing is a little too much
for you and your family to afford, check out. There's
a full schedule. Mark them on your calendar and plan
to go well. Just so you know, they're usually really
inconvenient days. They're like Mondays or whatever. They're not your
prime weekend days, so be aware of that. But they

(01:19:10):
are free, and it gives you the opportunity to check
out some of our best attractions here in the Denver
metro without coming out of pocket. So I've got that link.
You can check them out all out on the blog.
If you haven't been to the blog today, you're missing
some really incredible videos and some really incredible articles, But
we have to talk about Elon Musk's Starship blowing apart.

Speaker 1 (01:19:35):
So I honestly believe what I'm about to say. I
have no way to confirm or deny unless I see
some kind of article where he addresses it. I think
the fact that starship.

Speaker 2 (01:19:44):
Blew up today, I think Elon Musk was like, Okay,
what do we learn from that? Because this mission was
the seventh mission of this particular starship, and this mission
was designed to stress the ship as far as they could, to.

Speaker 1 (01:19:59):
Take it to it's limits.

Speaker 2 (01:20:01):
And the only way you can know what the limits
are is to push something beyond it. Elon Musk one
of the things I admire about him he seems to
have zero fear of failure.

Speaker 1 (01:20:13):
Zero. Could you imagine if you could shut down that
thing in.

Speaker 2 (01:20:19):
Your brain that went, you should try this new thing,
and then that other part of your brain goes.

Speaker 1 (01:20:22):
There's no way that would work. What are you doing.
Elon must doesn't have that. He doesn't have that thing
that tells him he can't do something. He doesn't have
that thing that tells him a rocket ship blowing up
is not.

Speaker 2 (01:20:35):
The worst thing in the world. It's a learning experience,
and it's gonna make the.

Speaker 1 (01:20:38):
Next rocket ship better.

Speaker 2 (01:20:40):
I just think that's the superpower is not having the
fear to try things and sometimes with disastrous results. And
I think that anybody could argue that a spaceship blowing
up and sending debris flying into the Caribbean, interrupting commercial
flight patterns in the prom says not.

Speaker 1 (01:21:01):
Exactly how you wanted to go down.

Speaker 2 (01:21:02):
But I want to hire the people at SpaceX who
sent out this message to do my marketing for anything
I do for the rest of my life. Because you
are not even ready for the spin I am.

Speaker 1 (01:21:13):
About to read you, SpaceX said, and this is a quote.

Speaker 2 (01:21:18):
Sturship experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly during its assent.

Speaker 1 (01:21:23):
Burn teams will continue.

Speaker 2 (01:21:25):
To review data from today's flight to better understand the
root cause an unscheduled disassembly.

Speaker 1 (01:21:33):
Has there ever been a better spin on our rocket
ship Blue op more than an unscheduled disassembly. I might
just print this out and hang it over my computer
just because I'm entertained by it so much.

Speaker 2 (01:21:47):
When we get back Jimmy Sangneberger's new column, it will
it details the latest spat between troublemaker Tata Anderson and
Aurora Mayor Mike Kaufman. And by the way, before anybody asks,
my coffin is right in this sharckingly.

Speaker 1 (01:22:08):
We are back and joining me now from the Singenburger compound.

Speaker 2 (01:22:13):
It's Jimmy Seingenberger, who has written a column today in
the Denver Gazette. Come out yesterday's epic clapback by Mayor
Mike Kaufman and the fake controversy gindap by media horror
and racist s grifter Tay Anderson. I think that's a
pretty good introduction to what we're talking about here, Jimmy,

(01:22:33):
I think.

Speaker 10 (01:22:33):
That fits pretty well. It has been just an absolutely
wild time. But that's what happens when Tay Anderson decides
to become a victim again and again and again.

Speaker 2 (01:22:46):
Yeah, And I mean this is such a pattern of
behavior it's comical, it really is. I mean, he's one
step away from becoming a slip and fall artist who
just makes a living slipping and falling in a Walmart
and the ensuing for just under the amount that Walmart.

Speaker 1 (01:23:01):
Will settle for. You see what I mean. Like, that's
how he feels he got run out of Denver, he
got run out of Denver, and now he has taken
up and taken up camp in Aurora.

Speaker 11 (01:23:11):
So yeah, manby what he has complained about slip and
fall type situations before in a target or being pushed
by police.

Speaker 10 (01:23:22):
So actually, what you're saying has literally happened before.

Speaker 2 (01:23:26):
Of course, of course it has. So what happened on
Monday nights, let's start there.

Speaker 10 (01:23:32):
Bottom line is Hey Anderson has been off the board
for the Denver School District for a little over a
year since with the end of November of twenty twenty three,
and since then he has really leaned into his role
as an activist and an agitator, and so for months
and months he and other so called protesters have shown

(01:23:56):
up at city council meetings in Aurora to protests things
a variety of different matters, but particularly the death of
Kylan Lewis, who was shot by police after he did
not abide by commands. It's a really tragic story, but
the guy was he was charged with attempted murder of

(01:24:19):
a sixty three year old blind man leading up to
his death.

Speaker 4 (01:24:25):
But they have.

Speaker 10 (01:24:26):
Treated the law enforcement as though they.

Speaker 12 (01:24:29):
Are guilty and responsible.

Speaker 10 (01:24:31):
And need to be held entirely accountable.

Speaker 12 (01:24:34):
So needless to say, they've shown up and they.

Speaker 10 (01:24:36):
Have consistently derailed meetings, derailed town homes put on by
city council members as well, you name it.

Speaker 12 (01:24:44):
Time and time again.

Speaker 10 (01:24:45):
At the very end of the meeting on Monday, a
guy who introduced himself as Ted d he spoke up
and threw a ton of s bombs. Ted deathbomb counter
as eight. So that's what you do when you're keeping
classy in your speeds for wrap things up. And it

(01:25:05):
was terrible, and clearly that was sort of I think
at least feels like the last draw for Kaufman, who
I would surmise recognizes that this is taste doing. He's
always trying to put people up for a show. And
he went out there to after the meeting and confronted
Tay and was yelling at him over the death of

(01:25:26):
and lead up to the death of a seventeen year
old kid a few years ago in Denver Public Schools
who had shot two deans, a guy by the name
of Austin Lyle and later took his own life. And
he was like, you killed or you killed Austin Lyle
because your policies kept police out of schools, and he's
not wrong.

Speaker 1 (01:25:47):
You have to think that a if Austin lyle knew.

Speaker 2 (01:25:50):
That he was going to be padded down as he
was every day by police officers, he probably would have
thought twice about having a gun on his person when
he was going to be padded down. He obviously thought
he was gonna be able to get away with it
because it was two administrators. And you know, the entire
situation is so avoidable, and Tay Anderson is fully responsible
for that. What's interesting about the whole thing you said

(01:26:13):
about killing Lewis. John Kilner presented that case to the
grand jury, so the grand jury had an opportunity to
indict those police officers and they did not. Mister Lewis
had a rap sheet of violence, and that at that
point when police say turn around and show us your hands,
when you put your hand in your pocket and then

(01:26:34):
turn around, things.

Speaker 1 (01:26:35):
Are not going to end.

Speaker 7 (01:26:36):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:26:37):
What's really gross, and that's the word I'm gonna use here, Jimmy,
is that by continuing to use killing Lewis to forward
his own media wore tendencies, Tay Anderson is not doing
that family any favors. You know, he is just keeping
the pain of that death going, and he's picking the

(01:26:57):
scab all the time for his own sie grandizement, and
I just think that's gross.

Speaker 10 (01:27:03):
So what happened in the scene is that Kaufman approached
Tay Anderson and the protesters were singing at takeoff of
an old spiritual that they were using as a protest
song basically, and Kaufman was yelling at Anderson and then
showed up in front of Anderson and that guy ted
Dee jumped in front of him and said, what the
eff are you doing?

Speaker 7 (01:27:24):
Who the f do you.

Speaker 10 (01:27:25):
Think you are?

Speaker 12 (01:27:26):
And Tay made this all like, oh my gosh, my
life was in danger.

Speaker 4 (01:27:30):
I didn't know what that happened, what was.

Speaker 10 (01:27:32):
Going to happen, and.

Speaker 12 (01:27:33):
Well, what did we do? He was so dangerous that
the group followed Kaufman out of the room as he.

Speaker 10 (01:27:38):
Went to with the you know, Danielle Jarinsky city council
woman put her arm around his back and kind of
led Kaufman out of the room, and they, including Tay,
followed him, continuing to sing as he went to the elevator,
and a nearby police officer got in between them and
walked up to the there. There was no physical contact
from anybody Tokay Anderson, there was no attack, that was

(01:28:00):
nothing of the sort. And if it was so dangerous, why.

Speaker 12 (01:28:04):
Did they follow Crosman to further antagonize them?

Speaker 10 (01:28:08):
And this goes to the point you were just making,
because this is not about a grieving family and pain.
It is about putting on another show, nothing more and
nothing less.

Speaker 2 (01:28:19):
And that's what's so disgusting about it, it really is.

Speaker 1 (01:28:22):
Does he think he's going to run for office in Aurora?

Speaker 2 (01:28:24):
Is that what he's ginning up for now now that
he's been I mean, let's just face it. He's been
dismissed from Denver, right. He ended his school board career
that was mired in controversy after he was found to be,
you know, creepily contacting teenage girls and making sexually aggressive
passes while he was on the school board, which is
just disgusting. He then decided he was going to run

(01:28:46):
for a house seat, and when it became clear that
he stood no chance of winning that, he's now vacated
and moved to Aurora. And do you think he's ev
do you think he's ginning up for some kind of
political move in Aurora? Or is he grifting successfully enough
off of this community organizer business to pay the bills
without gofund needs to know that he is famous for.

Speaker 10 (01:29:07):
At this point, I think he likes being a professional activist.
I see him if he's going to run for something
waiting a little bit in time. Maybe he'll see something
in the next year or two.

Speaker 4 (01:29:19):
But uh Keeler me skeptical about that. At this point.

Speaker 10 (01:29:22):
I think he's probably enjoying professional activism. But Mandy, you
were hitting at something, which is his tenure on the
school board. So much of it was really about and
I covered this very closely for years, about distraction and
making things about himself and being a disruption.

Speaker 4 (01:29:41):
And I'll just give you one example, because I was there.

Speaker 10 (01:29:44):
For a particular meeting where they were talking about whether
or not I'm hearing public comment as well about whether
or not to bring back school resource officers law enforcement
to campuses, which Kay had took charge in Banning in
twenty twenty. The ultimate he did no, thanks to Anderson
who voted against it. But at this meeting they had

(01:30:05):
the Chief of Police, Ron Thomas there and he was
answering questions. But Michelle quodobaum one of Kay's colleagues on
the board, who's still on the board.

Speaker 4 (01:30:15):
She took eighteen minutes of that time, asked.

Speaker 10 (01:30:18):
Very few questions, mostly was going on about racism of
police and all this.

Speaker 12 (01:30:23):
And ultimately the school board president at.

Speaker 10 (01:30:26):
The time, so she Gettan cut her mic and then
Tay made a big fit about it and said, you know.

Speaker 12 (01:30:32):
What, this is oppressive, that's oppressive.

Speaker 10 (01:30:34):
Why don't you Mike His mic was cut and he walked.

Speaker 4 (01:30:38):
Down to the staff and pointing his.

Speaker 10 (01:30:40):
Finger kind of like Mike Kaufman did today.

Speaker 12 (01:30:44):
The raveszeb from complying with the president of the school board.
And this is a guy who after Monday.

Speaker 10 (01:30:51):
Is complaining about aggression and how Mike Koffman was treating him.

Speaker 12 (01:30:57):
And that's just one of many examples.

Speaker 10 (01:30:59):
Of Kayanne synth antics like that.

Speaker 2 (01:31:01):
It must be amazing to be Tay Anderson, who's not
a small man and he's beats up a little bit
over the last few years. It must be it must
be terrifying to be him, to run around sure that
at any moment the mayor of Aurora is gonna come
after you and beat you up, and.

Speaker 1 (01:31:18):
You're completely incapable while you're surrounded by supporters of defending yourself.
He must live, I mean, he must just be afraid
to leave his house load.

Speaker 10 (01:31:27):
Well, I guess so.

Speaker 4 (01:31:29):
And I make the point that relax on, Tay.

Speaker 10 (01:31:34):
Guess what, it's probably not the case of the sixty
nine year old mayor is going to go mortal combat
on you.

Speaker 12 (01:31:41):
I could be wrong, but it is a probably not
gonna happen.

Speaker 4 (01:31:45):
But that's where I get to my.

Speaker 10 (01:31:47):
Line in the piece that taking Tay Anderson seriously is
like debating a dad joke. It's pointless, over the top
and guaranteed to make you grow. And I think that's true.

Speaker 2 (01:31:58):
Amen to that, we are not even getting to the
best part of this whole story, and that is Mayor
Mike Coffin cracked back yesterday on Facebook and basically said Tay,
sit down.

Speaker 1 (01:32:10):
And shut up.

Speaker 2 (01:32:11):
I mean, he called him out six ways to Sunday.
It was a thing of beauty to see someone not
cower to Tay Anderson's threats of I'm going to call
you a racist, I'm going to accuse you of racism.
Because Mike Coffin was basically like, you know what, shut up,
you got nothing for you and.

Speaker 1 (01:32:31):
Aurora and we really don't need to hear anything more.
And I've never felt more proud of Mayor Coffin in
my life.

Speaker 10 (01:32:37):
Yeah, oh me too. I read that and I was like,
very good, and I went and shared it on multiple platforms.
I look at it this way. I have known Kaufin
and since I was sixteen and he was running for
Secretary of State. And if he gets in a way
where he's.

Speaker 4 (01:32:53):
Fired up passionately like this, like he.

Speaker 10 (01:32:56):
Was on Monday, and then in his follow up, you
know that he's got some very specific in mind that
has brought him to that point. Because he's a very
even keeled, level headed kind of guy. And there are
some people on the right who've given him this reputation
that he's some kind of.

Speaker 4 (01:33:13):
Rhino who's love me no, But this is a guy who's.

Speaker 10 (01:33:18):
Just he's very shrewd. He's very shabby when he picks
his battles, and if.

Speaker 13 (01:33:24):
He's going to bring a fight like this to Tay Anderson,
he's gonna give it as all. And I guess that's
what happens when you were a career military officer in
both the Army and the Marines, and then you get
into position like Mayor of den of Aurora.

Speaker 1 (01:33:36):
Amen to that, my friend.

Speaker 2 (01:33:38):
One of the things I like about my confident one
of the reasons that people do say things like he's
a rhino. He knows who his constituents are. He's not
serving himself. He is serving the people of Aurora, and
sometimes that comes into conflict with people who are very,
very conservative or may have a different viewpoint.

Speaker 1 (01:33:53):
But he doesn't serve you unless you live at Aurora. So, Jimmy,
I don't know if you saw this, did you as
a totally out of left field? Did you see that
the Florida jury found CNN defamed the US Navy veteran.

Speaker 10 (01:34:04):
I saw the headline that didn't get to read anything
remarkable the come up and for these legacy TV media outlets.

Speaker 2 (01:34:13):
Well, the jury only awarded him five million dollars in
compensatory damages. An undisclosed settlement was reached later Friday regarding
punitive damages. Details of that settlement not immediately available. Jimmie Segenberg,
keep doing what you're doing. You're writing these great columns
in the Denver Gazette, and you will be heard here
on Monday. You're filling in for Ross for inauguration Day.

(01:34:35):
So you're going to kind of be with people as
they do the oath and all that good stuff. So
tune in on Monday to here Jimmy and Jimmy, I'll
talk to you again soon.

Speaker 7 (01:34:43):
It'll be great.

Speaker 10 (01:34:44):
Stay warm, have a great weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:34:45):
You too, my friend, you too. So this story CNN.
I cannot tell you how much I love the fact
that CNN lost this case. I just I cannot.

Speaker 1 (01:34:58):
I love it. I absolutely.

Speaker 2 (01:35:00):
I heard Ross talking earlier about the fact that Rudy
Giuliani has now settled with the women that he defamed
and he's going to be giving them some amount of money.
But he could never pay the one hundred and fifty
million dollar judgment. He just doesn't have the money. And
he's like eighty years old, and he's ruined his legal career,
so he's pretty.

Speaker 1 (01:35:18):
Much left with what he's got.

Speaker 2 (01:35:20):
But I guess they figured that out, And Ross said,
I almost feel.

Speaker 1 (01:35:24):
Sorry for him. I do not. And here's why.

Speaker 2 (01:35:28):
When an attorney who knows the law better than your
average bear does something so blatantly stupid as to disparage
people without evidence in a public forum, he gets what
he deserves.

Speaker 1 (01:35:45):
And he knew the law.

Speaker 2 (01:35:46):
You know, My dad always used to say, ignorance of
the law has no excuse, and he's right. You can't say, oh,
I didn't know that was against the law. If you
break the law, you could just pretend I didn't know
robbing a bank was against the law.

Speaker 1 (01:35:56):
I had no idea. And in this.

Speaker 2 (01:35:58):
Case, I feel nos sympathy for Rudy Giuliani because he's
a freaking attorney. If I, as a talk show host,
know what defamation is, surely an attorney knows what defamation is.

Speaker 1 (01:36:10):
And he did it anyway, So yeah, sorry about your look.

Speaker 2 (01:36:13):
It's really sad to see how Rudy Giuliani has fallen
from his days as you know, America's mayor in New
York City, when he took a setspool of New York
City and turned it around in a way that was
shocking at the time, and it still remains in great
shape because of Rudy Giuliani. And now he's just absolutely destroyed.

Speaker 1 (01:36:34):
His own legacy by becoming just a blatant sycophant for
for Donald Trump. You know, I get loyalty, but don't
lie on behalf of someone else when you know better.
So now he's having to pay the Piper on that one.
