I AGREE WITH KYLE CLARK And I think this is like three times this year alone so maybe I need to get checked out. JK, he's just been right three times this year, that's all. This time he's right about the dumb pedestrian bridge over Lincoln that Governor Polis has decided he must have. Watch Kyle take it apart here.

you can hear them take on the Dodgers after last
night's never ending baseball game that didn't end well.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
For the Rockies.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
But anyway, I did do a blog, but I'm gonna
be perfectly frank. Normally the blog is more voluminous than today,
like I make more commentary on the stories.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
But I had a busy morning.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I make no apologies I have today rather than having
a pleasant, you know, day off, I said, no, I'm
getting a lot of stuff done and bye, gosh, by god, Alli,
a lot of things are getting done. Let's talk about
the blog and where to find it in case you
still haven't figured it out. Goes like this. You you type
mandy'sblog dot com into your search browser, and then the
(01:15):
Kowa website's going to come up, and you look for
the latest post section, and then in that section you
look for a post that says six twenty six twenty
five blog Rockies eat the show and I agree with
Kyle Clark. Click on that and here are the headlines
you will find within.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
I you with some office South American all.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
With ships and clipments, a team that's going to press
plant today.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
On the blog Rockies at twelve thirty, I agree with
Kyle Clark. Dick Modfort puts his kin in charge. COVID
vaccines reduced fertility by a third. States can stop giving
money to Planned Parenthood. Police nab a dude on Cherry
Creek Trail with a machete. Aurora has a lot to
be proud about. The Boulder anti Semite is facing hate
(01:56):
crime charges. Albert County details Xcel Energy, you know the
next James Bond film? Hows a director. Food companies are
getting ahead of RFK Junior. Sorry, gen Z, green energy
is Hella? Expensive? Paywalls aren't working for news this The
US is more religious than most other developed nations.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
And sorry this is so short.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Those are the headlines on the blog at mandy'sblog dot com.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
And I think got tap. Thanks Nancy a winner.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Thank you Nancy, I think I have enough to fill
this half hour, starting with the fact that once again,
I think in the last three hundred and sixty five days,
I have found myself agreeing with Kyle Clark three times.
I can't remember what the first time was. Oh, the
second time, for sure was on the Zipper merge situation,
although he was a little later to the party that
I would have liked him to be. But we're all
(02:46):
welcome aboard the bandwagon. Happy to have you, Kyle. I'm
still working on that. I'd love it if you get
a little mentioned right now during construction season. That'd be awesome.
And today I find myself I laughed out loud. First
of all you have to say about Kyle is he
does snark beautifully, and as one person who I've always
thought myself, you know, really high level snark ability. I
(03:10):
mean just you know, you have gifts, right, and snark
is in my gift category.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
So I appreciate great snark when I see it.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And in the commentary he did on next he absolutely
dismantled this new pedestrian.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Bridge that Governor Jared.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Polis wants to smack on one side of the Capitol. Now,
can we just talk for a second, for anyone who
has any sort of sense of order.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Right, when you look at.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
The Colorado Capitol, it is perfectly balanced. Most days, there's
even the same amount of homeless people on both sides
of the Capitol, right, but it's a balance. You got
the nice park in the front, and they want to
slap this weird, meandering vanity project on one side of
the Capitol that deeply defends my sense of You know,
(04:01):
ballants no, can't.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Do sorry about your luck.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And he pulled no punches and took no prisoners. And
I think he's right because but yesterday I'm driving back.
I was at the Independence Institute film on the side hustle,
and I'm driving back and I'm at the intersection of
Colefax and Broadway. Okay, you guys know where I am.
Colefax and Broadway, Anthony. I got to sit through that light,
(04:27):
not once, not twice, not three times, but four times.
You know why traffic wasn't that bad? Do you know
why I had to sit through the light four times?
Because there was a homeless guy wearing a blanket wandering
around the intersection, just wandering through the intersection, and people
(04:48):
are not sure what to do, and for the people who's.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
You should have just rolled through.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I never made it that close to the front of
the intersection until he finally wandered off in his drug
or you know, mental illness, stupor every good thing I
said about downtown, I'm telling you yesterday it looked like crap,
which is so disappointing. So so you know, I'm I'm
a natural optimist. So when I look at things, I
(05:15):
try to see the potential for good. I try to
see how things can be improved. And I and I
keep hoping that Denver is truly going to turn the
corner and get it together. And then you got a
homeless guy wandering around in a major intersection, holding up traffic,
and no one knows.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
What to do right, no one knows, like what way.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I'm not going to get out and tackle the really
dirty man draped in a really dirty blanket. I'm not
gonna That's not gonna be me. But there's an article
on today's blog that I really love. It's a column
in the Denver Is about Aurora. And I know, I
know Aurora, you guys, I have been to Aurora. I
know that they are very, very scary parts of Aurora,
(05:57):
I get it, but they are also really beautiful parts
in Aurora. And they're also there's so much dynamism because
all of the different cultures that have collided in Aurora.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
It's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
It's one of the things I love about big, big cities,
Like you go to New York City, and New York
City is almost a little too segmented in terms of like, oh,
that neighborhood. Those five blocks are Polish, and these five
blocks are Russian, and these five blocks are Ukrainian and
these five blocks, well, there's like one hundred blocks that
are now Chinese. But in Aurora you have this mishmash
(06:35):
of people in cultures, and there's amazing food and just
great cuisine. And and I thought to myself, I am
right now going to put my optimism on Aurora and
focus on the things that are happening there, because some
good stuff is happening in Aurora right now. You've got
people on the city council and the Mayor's office who
really care about taking care of the people of Aurora
(06:57):
by making sure that they have police. I mean, come on,
that's the most basic fundamental thing, is just making people
feel safe in their community and they're working on that really,
really hard. Mandy, did you finish the thought on why
you agreed with Kyle Clark?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
No, I did not, And thank you, Texter. I'm high
and Aurora.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
But let's talk about Kyle and why I agree with him.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
So this giant pedestrian walkway, and Kyle says it beautifully.
It's a six minute report, or I would play it
for you, but I only have a few minutes of show.
And in it, he points out this is purely a
vanity project for Governor Jared Polis. He wants to quote,
leave his mark on the Capitol. Now the quote is
not from Jared Polis, but that's exactly what this is.
(07:43):
He's going around and he's trying to sell private financing.
So as if and Kyle makes a beautiful point like
getting other people to pay for it will not make
the rest of us like it. He also makes the
point it would be beautiful in some other neighborhoods. There's
lots of other places in the Denver metro where that
(08:03):
would be incredibly you know, welcome, and it.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Is interesting looking.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I'm going to give him that, but it would do
nothing to alleviate traffic issues. And they said, well, it's
about safety. And Kyle pulls up the accident rates for
that area and they're almost zero. So he rightly called
out Governor Jared pulled us and called him out heart
and did it in a very snarky way. And I
was like, you know what, Kyle, this is number three, Bud.
(08:32):
You just earned us number three. I feel so much
closer to him now. No, I don't just kidding, just kidding, Mandy.
That happens every day at that intersection. But I guess
they're scared of my big FedEx truck. Maybe that's what
I need, a giant FedEx truck to drive around downtown. Mandy,
(08:52):
regarding Kyle Clark, Once in a while, a blind squirrel
finds a nut, indeed, but I want to give him
credit when he does. See boarding good behavior often begets
more good behavior. So I'm just we're trying to create
a cycle here, you know. Anyway, Mandy, I remember as
a kid, seventy years ago, you never said you were
(09:14):
from Aurora.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
The whole city was considered.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
A slum, you know what, I get it, I do
get it, And since I've been here, I've seen changes
in Aurora. I do think that they built more really
nice neighborhoods in parts of Aurora.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
And that has helped.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
You know, I we shall see homeless man in the intersection,
says this texter. People should roll through very slowly and
maybe honk when they don't move. Reminds me of driving
in Evergreen with elk. Some people just wait. I drive
through very slowly and make the elk get out of
the road. Now, I'm with you, Texter, But in my neighborhood,
(09:53):
we have like seven different flocks of wild turkeys and
they're all huge. I don't mean the birds, I mean
the flocks. I'm talking to like twenty five wild turkeys.
And you think elk are hard to get out of
the road. No, turkeys don't care. They're just gonna stand
there and stare at you.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
You're rolling up on them.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
You're like they can feel the heat of your engine
and they're like, yeah, no, I'm not uh, I'm not moving.
He's just wait for me. Mandy, did Kyle Clark's mother
just text you to remind you to finish your story
of why you agreed with her son. I don't know
who's texting on the other side of the phone number
that we can see, and if it is, missus Clark,
You're welcome to the show.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
We appreciate you, Mandy.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
To be honest, Aurora is more Beirut looking than the
nice parts are. I appreciate you wanting to put lipstick
on a pig, but it's still a pig.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
See.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I don't know. Now.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I'm not gonna say that I've been in every part
of Aurora, but some of our favorite restaurants are Long Hamden.
I have friends who live in beautiful neighborhoods in Aurora.
I mean, there's some kind of cool stuff there, and
I think it's as a transplant and not a native,
it's easier for me to maybe see the good parts
more than the bad parts than it may be for
(11:05):
a native who sort of grew up with that.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
You know, that.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Viewpoint of Aurora, and rightly so, I'm not going to
argue that you're wrong in having that historically. I just
think there's interesting things happening. The leadership there is I think,
moving things in the right direction, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Excited about it.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
So We've also got several other stories on the blog
that I want to get to you very very quickly, one
being the Colorado Rockies are changing leadership, and I don't
have any sort of inside knowledge about this. All I
know is that the president of thirty years, who obviously
I am not enthused about because of the performance of
(11:45):
the team, is stepping down and Walker Montfort is stepping up.
Walker's been in and around the organizations for what twenty years,
I mean his whole life really, So we'll see what
happens next, and it will not.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Take effect until next year.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I don't think there's anything that could happen really to
make enough of an impact in this season.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Is it weird that.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
I just don't want them to have the worst record
in the history of baseball. That's that's where my like
that would be awesome is where's normally that.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Would be awesome?
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Is let's win the World Series?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
That would be awesome.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Now, I'm like, just don't have the worst record in history.
Let's see if we can make that happen.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I will say this real quick on Walker.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah, he's a really impressive guy.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Shoot, stand up really means business.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
He's basically done a little bit of everything in the
organization is decade plus. I think Rockies fans are gonna
like a lot of his direction I will. I will
say that I really do like Walker Monford. I think he's,
like I said, stand up guy. He wants his team
to get turned around. He's done everything, so this is
not the higher that people are throwing out some you know,
(13:07):
some accusations about about that higher.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I like him a lot. I think he's really earned
his opportunity.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I truly believe that, and I think Rockies fans should
exercise some patience and let Walker take control and do
some stuff his way.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Okay, I'm going to take your word for it.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I don't have any knowledge in any way, shape or
form enough to make any kind of informed judgment in
any way, shape or form. I just, you know what,
I hope it makes a team better. That's all I'm
gonna say. I hope it makes a team better. Something
has to Now. I've got a really important story and
something that I think I have been concerned about because
I personally know people that after they had the COVID vaccine,
(13:49):
their menstrual cycle went absolutely insane, and I was concerned
that we would start to see studies like this. And
this is yet another reason I regret, ever ever, encouraging
my listeners to get vaccinated. I just want to say
that one more time, my greatest regret as a talk
show host.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Okay, hands down.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
A peer reviewed study of one point three million women
in the Czech Republic found that in twenty twenty two,
vaccinated women had thirty three percent fewer successful conceptions per
one thousand than unvaccinated women thirty three percent. It is
a stunning study. They used nationwide data from the Czech
(14:31):
Republic to examine the rates of successful conceptions that is,
conceptions leading to live births nine months later for women
who were either vaccinated or unvaccinated against COVID, and they
looked at women eighteen to thirty nine years old, and
the results were really really concerning. During the study period,
(14:54):
there were approximately one point three million women aged eighteen
to thirty nine in the Czech Republic, and the proportion
COVID nineteen vaccinated women increased from January twenty twenty one
until reaching a steady state of around seventy percent by
the end of twenty twenty one. At least from June
twenty twenty one, successful conceptions per one thousand women were
(15:15):
considerably lower for women who were vaccinated compared to those
that were unvaccinated. Furthermore, successful conception rates for the vaccinated
group were much lower than expected based on their proportion
of the total population. Now, maybe this is going to
be a temporary situation. Maybe it is, I don't know,
(15:38):
but this is why the government shouldn't order people to
have to take a drug, especially.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
When they don't know anything about.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
And again, my greatest, greatest regret, Mandy, you'll have a
fourth agreeance with Kyle who came to the defense of
Jennifer Griffin of Fox News when Pete Hegseth went off
on her for asking a legit question about where the
uranium is in Iran. I don't don't care about journalists
getting rhetorically beaten up.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
That is their job.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
And Jennifer Griffin doesn't need anybody to come to her rescue.
She is a grown woman who can handle her own business.
I don't run around protecting other people. And you know
why this is going to sound really petty and small,
but you know what, when, especially in certain markets, when
I was in Louisville, there were some nasty, nasty liberals
(16:25):
who attacked me relentlessly, relentlessly, and nobody ever came to mind,
nobody ever had my back. In the mainstream media. I
just she's a big girl, she can take it. Not
worried about that in the slightest. We also have a
couple of things on the blog that we're going to
talk about more later, one of which is the Supreme
Court issued to ruling today that says states can prevent
(16:49):
medicaid dollars from going to planned parenthood. Pro life states
have increasingly said that medicaid dollars period cannot go to
planned parenthood because of their abortion service. Now, the old
argument is you're really not paid for abortion, but we
all know the old saying money is fungible, meaning what
money doesn't have to be spent on abortion can be
(17:09):
spent on something else, and vice versa. So yeah, yeah, Mandy,
what vaccine did the check women get? I don't know
the answer to that story, but I think that these
the issue that has been documented thus far is that
the spike proteins that are created by the vaccines, all
(17:29):
of the vaccines work on the spike protein, they get
lodged or stuck in the uters and ovaries of women.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
That is speculation. I should be clear about that.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
This is the early sort of data, the early research
that's coming in and it's creating problems. So I find
that incredibly Yeah, maybe that's why they push the vaccine,
says this text population control. I'd love to tell you
that that is absolutely crazy. But the older I get
and the more bs that I live through from government,
(18:00):
the less I can say with certainty that, yeah, that's
absolutely nuts. Think about how many quote conspiracy theories about
COVID have now been confirmed. So I'm not you know,
I'd love to think that's not what it is. I'll
tell you that, Mandy.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Just wondering.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Are these short shows annoying or do you feel like
you're getting out of work early. For the record, it's
annoying to me. Enjoy your day, Uh yeah, but I
stacked this day full of work things, so I feel
today I'll feel productive, if that makes sense, you know.
And some days, honestly, it's nice to have an afternoon off,
(18:37):
go home, Oh my grass, fut's around with my plants.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
It's lovely.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
But some days, especially when there's a lot going on,
it's a little frustrating. I'm not gonna lie, Mandy.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Well, rather update, food companies are.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Getting ahead of RFK Junior. What do I mean by that?
More and more major food providers, and you guys, there's
only like three companies that make all of the food
that is processed in this country. I'm not talking about vegetables, produce,
and meat. I'm talking about everything else is essentially controlled
by like either.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Two or three food companies.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
But more and more large companies Kraft Hinns and General Mills,
and now Nestley has come out to say that they
will eliminate artificial colors from their foods by the middle
of twenty twenty six. Now that's better than Kraft, Hinns
and General Mills. They're not getting them out untill twenty
twenty seven. Why does that take so long? I genuinely
(19:34):
asking that question. Why does that take so long? I
don't know, but I think all of these companies are
seeing the writing on the wall. Not just from RFK Junior,
but they're seeing the writing on the wall. The consumers
are now getting hip to what they've been putting in
our food, and more consumers are starting to understand that
what we eat is a huge part of the culture
(19:55):
of sickness that we have in this country. You know,
we eat garbage food and we feel like garbage. I
notice this every time I travel, we ate all kinds
of stuff. In Japan, I eat stuff I had never
eaten before, and I will probably never eat again because
I've never seen it anywhere else. Some stuff I ate,
I'm still not quite sure what that was. But we
(20:17):
ate a huge variety of things, just and fried food.
We didn't just eat, you know, raw fish, which we
did and it was oh so good, And you eat,
but you still feel good. You don't like eat until
you're sick. You don't eat until you're miserable. Why is
it that that's how we are in the United States
of America. It's because our food supply has all of
(20:38):
this other crap in it. And I realized I sound
like one of those crazy people who only shops at,
you know, health food stores.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
But I swear I'm not.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
This is just anecdotal evidence that I have found to
be true over and over and over again. Mandy, they
don't want a loss if they bought the dye in bulk.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
You know, I think they make enough money. I hope.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
So, Mandy, do you get salary or paid per show?
I get salary. I would never get paid per show.
Not doing that.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
That's nonsense, that's.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
No Even when I first started out, that would not
have flown with me, Mandy and Kenya. There's documentation of
tetanus vaccines being given to women with anti hCG vaccine,
the hormone that supports pregnancy to clandestinely prevent pregnancy for
population control. What you need to send me something on that.
(21:30):
I'll just go down that rabbit hole for seven hours.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Mandy.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I just got the afternoon off to a deep clean
that didn't have their electricity turned on. Well, that's inconvenient
and not very good planning. Mandy, Please come mow my grass.
I can't find anyone to mow weed and whack it down.
What happened to teens mowing yards?
Speaker 2 (21:51):
You know what?
Speaker 4 (21:52):
That is a fantastic question.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
And most teens are working in retail or fast food
if they're working at all. But we have like the
kid who comes and errates my lawn. This kid started
a lawn aeration company like three and a half years
ago when he was maybe eighteen, maybe maybe seventeen eighteen,
and he bought the machine to do it, and he
solicited people, you know, basically in the neighborhood. And now
(22:17):
that kid calls me every spring and every fall and says, Hey,
I'm going to be in your neighborhood. When do you
want me to stop by. This kid is gonna he's
going to run an empire. And I think to myself,
a lot of other kids are are not just missing
the opportunity to get good exercise.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
That is literally the reason I mow my own lawn.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
It's for the exercise and I feel like I've accomplished
something at the end of it. Right, you get downe
mowing your lawn, you look at it, You're.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Like, oh, look at how good that looks.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
It's such a glorious feeling.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Yes, yes, the feeling of instant gratification and accomplishment, and
kids are missing out on just you know. Now, I
think if I wanted a kid to start a lawn business,
I would say, you know, have you seen the videos,
the lawn videos?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
They have millions of views? Do you have push your syst?
Speaker 4 (23:02):
I do because I have a very hilly lawn.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I couldn't do it without it. To bet on us.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
All right, guys, we have a full size show tomorrow
and we're gonna touch on some of these things. But
I did do a blog just for you, so you

a lot of things are getting done. Let's talk about
the blog and where to find it in case you
still haven't figured it out. Goes like this. You you type
mandy'sblog dot com into your search browser, and then the
(01:15):
Kowa website's going to come up, and you look for
the latest post section, and then in that section you
look for a post that says six twenty six twenty
five blog Rockies eat the show and I agree with
Kyle Clark. Click on that and here are the headlines
you will find within.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
I you with some office South American all.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
With ships and clipments, a team that's going to press
plant today.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
On the blog Rockies at twelve thirty, I agree with
Kyle Clark. Dick Modfort puts his kin in charge. COVID
vaccines reduced fertility by a third. States can stop giving
money to Planned Parenthood. Police nab a dude on Cherry
Creek Trail with a machete. Aurora has a lot to
be proud about. The Boulder anti Semite is facing hate
(01:56):
crime charges. Albert County details Xcel Energy, you know the
next James Bond film? Hows a director. Food companies are
getting ahead of RFK Junior. Sorry, gen Z, green energy
is Hella? Expensive? Paywalls aren't working for news this The
US is more religious than most other developed nations.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
And sorry this is so short.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Those are the headlines on the blog at mandy'sblog dot com.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
And I think got tap. Thanks Nancy a winner.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Thank you Nancy, I think I have enough to fill
this half hour, starting with the fact that once again,
I think in the last three hundred and sixty five days,
I have found myself agreeing with Kyle Clark three times.
I can't remember what the first time was. Oh, the
second time, for sure was on the Zipper merge situation,
although he was a little later to the party that
I would have liked him to be. But we're all
(02:46):
welcome aboard the bandwagon. Happy to have you, Kyle. I'm
still working on that. I'd love it if you get
a little mentioned right now during construction season. That'd be awesome.
And today I find myself I laughed out loud. First
of all you have to say about Kyle is he
does snark beautifully, and as one person who I've always
thought myself, you know, really high level snark ability. I
(03:10):
mean just you know, you have gifts, right, and snark
is in my gift category.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
So I appreciate great snark when I see it.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And in the commentary he did on next he absolutely
dismantled this new pedestrian.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Bridge that Governor Jared.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Polis wants to smack on one side of the Capitol. Now,
can we just talk for a second, for anyone who
has any sort of sense of order.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Right, when you look at.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
The Colorado Capitol, it is perfectly balanced. Most days, there's
even the same amount of homeless people on both sides
of the Capitol, right, but it's a balance. You got
the nice park in the front, and they want to
slap this weird, meandering vanity project on one side of
the Capitol that deeply defends my sense of You know,
(04:01):
ballants no, can't.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Do sorry about your luck.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And he pulled no punches and took no prisoners. And
I think he's right because but yesterday I'm driving back.
I was at the Independence Institute film on the side hustle,
and I'm driving back and I'm at the intersection of
Colefax and Broadway. Okay, you guys know where I am.
Colefax and Broadway, Anthony. I got to sit through that light,
(04:27):
not once, not twice, not three times, but four times.
You know why traffic wasn't that bad? Do you know
why I had to sit through the light four times?
Because there was a homeless guy wearing a blanket wandering
around the intersection, just wandering through the intersection, and people
(04:48):
are not sure what to do, and for the people who's.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
You should have just rolled through.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I never made it that close to the front of
the intersection until he finally wandered off in his drug
or you know, mental illness, stupor every good thing I
said about downtown, I'm telling you yesterday it looked like crap,
which is so disappointing. So so you know, I'm I'm
a natural optimist. So when I look at things, I
(05:15):
try to see the potential for good. I try to
see how things can be improved. And I and I
keep hoping that Denver is truly going to turn the
corner and get it together. And then you got a
homeless guy wandering around in a major intersection, holding up traffic,
and no one knows.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
What to do right, no one knows, like what way.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I'm not going to get out and tackle the really
dirty man draped in a really dirty blanket. I'm not
gonna That's not gonna be me. But there's an article
on today's blog that I really love. It's a column
in the Denver Is about Aurora. And I know, I
know Aurora, you guys, I have been to Aurora. I
know that they are very, very scary parts of Aurora,
(05:57):
I get it, but they are also really beautiful parts
in Aurora. And they're also there's so much dynamism because
all of the different cultures that have collided in Aurora.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
It's fantastic.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
It's one of the things I love about big, big cities,
Like you go to New York City, and New York
City is almost a little too segmented in terms of like, oh,
that neighborhood. Those five blocks are Polish, and these five
blocks are Russian, and these five blocks are Ukrainian and
these five blocks, well, there's like one hundred blocks that
are now Chinese. But in Aurora you have this mishmash
(06:35):
of people in cultures, and there's amazing food and just
great cuisine. And and I thought to myself, I am
right now going to put my optimism on Aurora and
focus on the things that are happening there, because some
good stuff is happening in Aurora right now. You've got
people on the city council and the Mayor's office who
really care about taking care of the people of Aurora
(06:57):
by making sure that they have police. I mean, come on,
that's the most basic fundamental thing, is just making people
feel safe in their community and they're working on that really,
really hard. Mandy, did you finish the thought on why
you agreed with Kyle Clark?
Speaker 2 (07:14):
No, I did not, And thank you, Texter. I'm high
and Aurora.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
But let's talk about Kyle and why I agree with him.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
So this giant pedestrian walkway, and Kyle says it beautifully.
It's a six minute report, or I would play it
for you, but I only have a few minutes of show.
And in it, he points out this is purely a
vanity project for Governor Jared Polis. He wants to quote,
leave his mark on the Capitol. Now the quote is
not from Jared Polis, but that's exactly what this is.
(07:43):
He's going around and he's trying to sell private financing.
So as if and Kyle makes a beautiful point like
getting other people to pay for it will not make
the rest of us like it. He also makes the
point it would be beautiful in some other neighborhoods. There's
lots of other places in the Denver metro where that
(08:03):
would be incredibly you know, welcome, and it.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Is interesting looking.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I'm going to give him that, but it would do
nothing to alleviate traffic issues. And they said, well, it's
about safety. And Kyle pulls up the accident rates for
that area and they're almost zero. So he rightly called
out Governor Jared pulled us and called him out heart
and did it in a very snarky way. And I
was like, you know what, Kyle, this is number three, Bud.
(08:32):
You just earned us number three. I feel so much
closer to him now. No, I don't just kidding, just kidding, Mandy.
That happens every day at that intersection. But I guess
they're scared of my big FedEx truck. Maybe that's what
I need, a giant FedEx truck to drive around downtown. Mandy,
(08:52):
regarding Kyle Clark, Once in a while, a blind squirrel
finds a nut, indeed, but I want to give him
credit when he does. See boarding good behavior often begets
more good behavior. So I'm just we're trying to create
a cycle here, you know. Anyway, Mandy, I remember as
a kid, seventy years ago, you never said you were
(09:14):
from Aurora.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
The whole city was considered.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
A slum, you know what, I get it, I do
get it, And since I've been here, I've seen changes
in Aurora. I do think that they built more really
nice neighborhoods in parts of Aurora.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
And that has helped.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
You know, I we shall see homeless man in the intersection,
says this texter. People should roll through very slowly and
maybe honk when they don't move. Reminds me of driving
in Evergreen with elk. Some people just wait. I drive
through very slowly and make the elk get out of
the road. Now, I'm with you, Texter, But in my neighborhood,
(09:53):
we have like seven different flocks of wild turkeys and
they're all huge. I don't mean the birds, I mean
the flocks. I'm talking to like twenty five wild turkeys.
And you think elk are hard to get out of
the road. No, turkeys don't care. They're just gonna stand
there and stare at you.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
You're rolling up on them.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
You're like they can feel the heat of your engine
and they're like, yeah, no, I'm not uh, I'm not moving.
He's just wait for me. Mandy, did Kyle Clark's mother
just text you to remind you to finish your story
of why you agreed with her son. I don't know
who's texting on the other side of the phone number
that we can see, and if it is, missus Clark,
You're welcome to the show.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
We appreciate you, Mandy.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
To be honest, Aurora is more Beirut looking than the
nice parts are. I appreciate you wanting to put lipstick
on a pig, but it's still a pig.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
See.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I don't know. Now.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I'm not gonna say that I've been in every part
of Aurora, but some of our favorite restaurants are Long Hamden.
I have friends who live in beautiful neighborhoods in Aurora.
I mean, there's some kind of cool stuff there, and
I think it's as a transplant and not a native,
it's easier for me to maybe see the good parts
more than the bad parts than it may be for
(11:05):
a native who sort of grew up with that.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
You know, that.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Viewpoint of Aurora, and rightly so, I'm not going to
argue that you're wrong in having that historically. I just
think there's interesting things happening. The leadership there is I think,
moving things in the right direction, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Excited about it.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
So We've also got several other stories on the blog
that I want to get to you very very quickly, one
being the Colorado Rockies are changing leadership, and I don't
have any sort of inside knowledge about this. All I
know is that the president of thirty years, who obviously
I am not enthused about because of the performance of
(11:45):
the team, is stepping down and Walker Montfort is stepping up.
Walker's been in and around the organizations for what twenty years,
I mean his whole life really, So we'll see what
happens next, and it will not.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Take effect until next year.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I don't think there's anything that could happen really to
make enough of an impact in this season.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Is it weird that.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
I just don't want them to have the worst record
in the history of baseball. That's that's where my like
that would be awesome is where's normally that.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Would be awesome?
Speaker 4 (12:24):
Is let's win the World Series?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
That would be awesome.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Now, I'm like, just don't have the worst record in history.
Let's see if we can make that happen.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I will say this real quick on Walker.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah, he's a really impressive guy.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Shoot, stand up really means business.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
He's basically done a little bit of everything in the
organization is decade plus. I think Rockies fans are gonna
like a lot of his direction I will. I will
say that I really do like Walker Monford. I think he's,
like I said, stand up guy. He wants his team
to get turned around. He's done everything, so this is
not the higher that people are throwing out some you know,
(13:07):
some accusations about about that higher.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I like him a lot. I think he's really earned
his opportunity.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I truly believe that, and I think Rockies fans should
exercise some patience and let Walker take control and do
some stuff his way.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Okay, I'm going to take your word for it.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I don't have any knowledge in any way, shape or
form enough to make any kind of informed judgment in
any way, shape or form. I just, you know what,
I hope it makes a team better. That's all I'm
gonna say. I hope it makes a team better. Something
has to Now. I've got a really important story and
something that I think I have been concerned about because
I personally know people that after they had the COVID vaccine,
(13:49):
their menstrual cycle went absolutely insane, and I was concerned
that we would start to see studies like this. And
this is yet another reason I regret, ever ever, encouraging
my listeners to get vaccinated. I just want to say
that one more time, my greatest regret as a talk
show host.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Okay, hands down.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
A peer reviewed study of one point three million women
in the Czech Republic found that in twenty twenty two,
vaccinated women had thirty three percent fewer successful conceptions per
one thousand than unvaccinated women thirty three percent. It is
a stunning study. They used nationwide data from the Czech
(14:31):
Republic to examine the rates of successful conceptions that is,
conceptions leading to live births nine months later for women
who were either vaccinated or unvaccinated against COVID, and they
looked at women eighteen to thirty nine years old, and
the results were really really concerning. During the study period,
(14:54):
there were approximately one point three million women aged eighteen
to thirty nine in the Czech Republic, and the proportion
COVID nineteen vaccinated women increased from January twenty twenty one
until reaching a steady state of around seventy percent by
the end of twenty twenty one. At least from June
twenty twenty one, successful conceptions per one thousand women were
(15:15):
considerably lower for women who were vaccinated compared to those
that were unvaccinated. Furthermore, successful conception rates for the vaccinated
group were much lower than expected based on their proportion
of the total population. Now, maybe this is going to
be a temporary situation. Maybe it is, I don't know,
(15:38):
but this is why the government shouldn't order people to
have to take a drug, especially.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
When they don't know anything about.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
And again, my greatest, greatest regret, Mandy, you'll have a
fourth agreeance with Kyle who came to the defense of
Jennifer Griffin of Fox News when Pete Hegseth went off
on her for asking a legit question about where the
uranium is in Iran. I don't don't care about journalists
getting rhetorically beaten up.
Speaker 4 (16:03):
That is their job.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
And Jennifer Griffin doesn't need anybody to come to her rescue.
She is a grown woman who can handle her own business.
I don't run around protecting other people. And you know
why this is going to sound really petty and small,
but you know what, when, especially in certain markets, when
I was in Louisville, there were some nasty, nasty liberals
(16:25):
who attacked me relentlessly, relentlessly, and nobody ever came to mind,
nobody ever had my back. In the mainstream media. I
just she's a big girl, she can take it. Not
worried about that in the slightest. We also have a
couple of things on the blog that we're going to
talk about more later, one of which is the Supreme
Court issued to ruling today that says states can prevent
(16:49):
medicaid dollars from going to planned parenthood. Pro life states
have increasingly said that medicaid dollars period cannot go to
planned parenthood because of their abortion service. Now, the old
argument is you're really not paid for abortion, but we
all know the old saying money is fungible, meaning what
money doesn't have to be spent on abortion can be
(17:09):
spent on something else, and vice versa. So yeah, yeah, Mandy,
what vaccine did the check women get? I don't know
the answer to that story, but I think that these
the issue that has been documented thus far is that
the spike proteins that are created by the vaccines, all
(17:29):
of the vaccines work on the spike protein, they get
lodged or stuck in the uters and ovaries of women.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
That is speculation. I should be clear about that.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
This is the early sort of data, the early research
that's coming in and it's creating problems. So I find
that incredibly Yeah, maybe that's why they push the vaccine,
says this text population control. I'd love to tell you
that that is absolutely crazy. But the older I get
and the more bs that I live through from government,
(18:00):
the less I can say with certainty that, yeah, that's
absolutely nuts. Think about how many quote conspiracy theories about
COVID have now been confirmed. So I'm not you know,
I'd love to think that's not what it is. I'll
tell you that, Mandy.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Just wondering.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Are these short shows annoying or do you feel like
you're getting out of work early. For the record, it's
annoying to me. Enjoy your day, Uh yeah, but I
stacked this day full of work things, so I feel
today I'll feel productive, if that makes sense, you know.
And some days, honestly, it's nice to have an afternoon off,
(18:37):
go home, Oh my grass, fut's around with my plants.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
It's lovely.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
But some days, especially when there's a lot going on,
it's a little frustrating. I'm not gonna lie, Mandy.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Well, rather update, food companies are.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Getting ahead of RFK Junior. What do I mean by that?
More and more major food providers, and you guys, there's
only like three companies that make all of the food
that is processed in this country. I'm not talking about vegetables, produce,
and meat. I'm talking about everything else is essentially controlled
by like either.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Two or three food companies.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
But more and more large companies Kraft Hinns and General Mills,
and now Nestley has come out to say that they
will eliminate artificial colors from their foods by the middle
of twenty twenty six. Now that's better than Kraft, Hinns
and General Mills. They're not getting them out untill twenty
twenty seven. Why does that take so long? I genuinely
(19:34):
asking that question. Why does that take so long? I
don't know, but I think all of these companies are
seeing the writing on the wall. Not just from RFK Junior,
but they're seeing the writing on the wall. The consumers
are now getting hip to what they've been putting in
our food, and more consumers are starting to understand that
what we eat is a huge part of the culture
(19:55):
of sickness that we have in this country. You know,
we eat garbage food and we feel like garbage. I
notice this every time I travel, we ate all kinds
of stuff. In Japan, I eat stuff I had never
eaten before, and I will probably never eat again because
I've never seen it anywhere else. Some stuff I ate,
I'm still not quite sure what that was. But we
(20:17):
ate a huge variety of things, just and fried food.
We didn't just eat, you know, raw fish, which we
did and it was oh so good, And you eat,
but you still feel good. You don't like eat until
you're sick. You don't eat until you're miserable. Why is
it that that's how we are in the United States
of America. It's because our food supply has all of
(20:38):
this other crap in it. And I realized I sound
like one of those crazy people who only shops at,
you know, health food stores.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
But I swear I'm not.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
This is just anecdotal evidence that I have found to
be true over and over and over again. Mandy, they
don't want a loss if they bought the dye in bulk.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
You know, I think they make enough money. I hope.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
So, Mandy, do you get salary or paid per show?
I get salary. I would never get paid per show.
Not doing that.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
That's nonsense, that's.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
No Even when I first started out, that would not
have flown with me, Mandy and Kenya. There's documentation of
tetanus vaccines being given to women with anti hCG vaccine,
the hormone that supports pregnancy to clandestinely prevent pregnancy for
population control. What you need to send me something on that.
(21:30):
I'll just go down that rabbit hole for seven hours.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Mandy.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
I just got the afternoon off to a deep clean
that didn't have their electricity turned on. Well, that's inconvenient
and not very good planning. Mandy, Please come mow my grass.
I can't find anyone to mow weed and whack it down.
What happened to teens mowing yards?
Speaker 2 (21:51):
You know what?
Speaker 4 (21:52):
That is a fantastic question.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
And most teens are working in retail or fast food
if they're working at all. But we have like the
kid who comes and errates my lawn. This kid started
a lawn aeration company like three and a half years
ago when he was maybe eighteen, maybe maybe seventeen eighteen,
and he bought the machine to do it, and he
solicited people, you know, basically in the neighborhood. And now
(22:17):
that kid calls me every spring and every fall and says, Hey,
I'm going to be in your neighborhood. When do you
want me to stop by. This kid is gonna he's
going to run an empire. And I think to myself,
a lot of other kids are are not just missing
the opportunity to get good exercise.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
That is literally the reason I mow my own lawn.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
It's for the exercise and I feel like I've accomplished
something at the end of it. Right, you get downe
mowing your lawn, you look at it, You're.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Like, oh, look at how good that looks.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
It's such a glorious feeling.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Yes, yes, the feeling of instant gratification and accomplishment, and
kids are missing out on just you know. Now, I
think if I wanted a kid to start a lawn business,
I would say, you know, have you seen the videos,
the lawn videos?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
They have millions of views? Do you have push your syst?
Speaker 4 (23:02):
I do because I have a very hilly lawn.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I couldn't do it without it. To bet on us.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
All right, guys, we have a full size show tomorrow
and we're gonna touch on some of these things. But
I did do a blog just for you, so you
should check it out. At mandy'sblog dot com. Don't forget,
make the Mandy Connell Show and KOA a preset on
your free iHeartRadio app, and I think are we getting
away any more? Metallica tickets tomorrow. Go to our social
media at KOA Colorado on Instagram or Twitter, and we
(23:30):
will see you guys tomorrow
