Speaker 1 (00:00):
Another beat to play, to fight for the American way.
Glad you are here. Hard to believe Christmas is over right.
We prepare for it for so long and look forward
to it, all the things are going to do, families together,
and then bam, it's like it's five minutes, blink of
an eye, it's gone. But enjoyed it while we had
a three or three seven, one, three eight two five
five of the number text d A N five seven

(00:21):
seven three nine. Hopefully it's kind of an extended vacation
for you at this point. Judging by the traffic on
my way into the office this morning and to the
show this afternoon, this might be the first show in
thirty years, roughly give or take a year where I'm
not speaking to anybody, Shannon. Have you ever thought about that,

(00:42):
what you'd do on a show if you knew nobody
was listening. I just lost my buddy Shannon there. Maybe
Shannon's not even listening. No, I know he's talking back
to me, but there's.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
A pressed the wrong button. So fully enjoy speaking to
no one.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yeah, yeah, they probably enjoy it too. So I've said
this often about Shannon Scott, who's kind enough to come
in and work the show today. And that is if
he had his own show, and I don't mean this facetiously.
He would be number one in the market if you
had your own radio show. So I do have to ask,
my friend, why haven't you done that? Because how many

(01:18):
years has it been for you?

Speaker 2 (01:20):
On a thirty years? And you're very kind to say
I'd be number one, but so many people think of
me as number two.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Well no, I see so many people raising one finger
to you and they think of you as number one.
But seriously, he would, and I wish you'd try that someday,
but I'm starting to give up on that. But Shannon
would have the top show in the market. So grateful
for the icon coming in this afternoon. Ryan, obviously a
well deserved week off, but and it makes sense. It

(01:49):
makes sense that today people would just take you know,
you probably put it together, kind of have a five
day holiday. So yeah, I'm just gonna pretend that nobody
he's listening. If you are, hey, please do call three
oh three seven one three eight two five five the
number text d A N five seven seven three nine.
It's like that all saying, you know, how would you

(02:11):
dance if you knew nobody was watching, and I'll bet
they're an awful lot of people who just dance a
whole lot better if they know nobody's watching. Yeah, I'm
the luckiest guy in the world. In fact, that was
my toast at our wedding, you know, paraphrasing or I
think I may have just copped it verbatim lu gerrig
his famous speech in Yankee Stadium, his farewell speech. You know, today,

(02:34):
I feel like the luckiest man on the face of
the earth. And that was my toast at our wedding.
But there have been just a couple of really small
drawbacks to marrying me. Now, yeah, it's ninety nine percent
total bliss. But selfishly, when you marry someone like my wife,
there's no hiding on the dance floor because when you

(02:56):
go out there first, she's, you know, phenomenally beautiful, but
she's also a tremendous dancer. So you go out there
and you know people are going to be watching, and
so there's no way to hide there. And I really
think that stunted my advancement as someone who has an
ability to dance at parties and charity events and things

(03:19):
like that. So I think that's really that's the reason
I am not a good dancer. Have you ever seen
El Gore dance? Okay, if you go back, you pull
up some of those videos on YouTube, you'll get a feeling.
But I do dance much better when nobody's looking. It's
amazing because you may ask, why would anybody ever dance
when nobody's looking? There are a couple of situations for me.

(03:44):
I'm a trial lawyer. This may sound weird, but I
really really really love going to trial, and so I'm
so happy when I'm going to trial each morning that
sometimes I just kind of dance around my hotel room
because I'm usually in a hotel during trial. And then
I'll stop and think, I'm a really good dancer. Why
can't I dance that way when I'm like out on

(04:07):
the dance floor at the charity ball or something, and
I don't know, need to work on that. How about you, Shannon?
Are you much of a dancer? Do you have a
prefers gen?

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Raw?

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Hip hop? Rock boy?

Speaker 2 (04:22):
I always wanted to be like Fred Astaire. But I
can move all right?

Speaker 1 (04:26):
I bet you can. I bet you can? My friend?
But three out three someone three eight two five five
text d A N five seven seven three nine. Hey,
a bunch of stuff, all of a kind of light
do want to cover with you today? Obviously, President Trumpell light,
Let's start out with a military strike. Very glad to
see the president do it last night their time in Nigeria,

(04:50):
because you've had this mass slaughter of Christians. And I
understand the strike is mainly symbolic, except you know, to
those who were wiped out in the strike. But I
I think it's so important even if some symbolically just
to send the message said no, you're not going to
mass slaughter Christians, because it's really this awful, dark phenomena

(05:11):
that's kind of growing up around the world, and then
politically in America where it's okay to do things to
Christians that people would never ever think of doing to
any other religious group and should not think of doing
to any other religious group, should not but for some
reason it's okay. I'll ask a lotter Christians. The world
just already yawn. It's not Trump, and I appreciate that.

(05:32):
Politically stuff in America, discrimination against Christians all that make
got to the point where the US Supreme Court had
to step in with Colorado and literally point out just
the animus, the venom flowing venom, my word, animus to
the courts, you know, flowing toward Christians in Colorado, I E.
Jeck Phillips and others you know, from the Colorado state governments.

(05:54):
So yeah, just this whole idea that you can do
all these things to Christians that you wouldn't and shouldn't
do to any other group. So glad to see President
Trump stand up to that. And well, hopefully it will
help dent this genocide that's going on there. And then eventually,
you know, Trump pieced through strength and when the piece

(06:15):
doesn't work, he shows the strength. And hopefully if that
mass slutter doesn't stop in Nigeria, the president will do
what he needs to do. I'm not talking about America
going to war in Nigeria. I don't think it would
take that or anything like that. But glad to see
him do what he did. Bronco game last night, Did
you watch that? Shannon? I meant you did not watch it?

(06:38):
Why not? Some because Shennon, by the way, is just
a sports genius. You just don't watch Broncos.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah I don't. I'll hear about it the next thing.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Okay, Well, yeah, plenty of places to hear about it,
but yeah, no, great to see him pull it out.
And I understand there's a lot of anks because the
defense hasn't been of the last few weeks what the
defense has been for most of the season. But I
think historically, if you look back, I know, at least
at the Broncos, and I would guess a lot of
other teams, you look back and you know they go

(07:08):
through this kind of law. It's just such a human process,
even professional sports. And I think each of their Super
Bowl years they had a little lull in there, not
this long the law, but a little law. So I'm
still optimistic about what the postseason is going to bring.
And you know, the biggest reason I'm optimistic about that
is because, first, obviously John very good coach, that's obvious,

(07:30):
but he tends to be too conservative with bo Nicks.
You know, strong defense, Yeah, then just kind of play
not to lose. But he does, like they used to
do with Elway, Reeves with Delway, he does turn Nicks
loose when he has to, and he's going to have
to more in the playoffs. And that's probably the second
biggest reason. First reason I'm optimistic is, you know, the

(07:51):
defense but second biggest reason is I think Nix is
the real deal. And the more you turn them lose, yeah,
you'll get the occasional pick who cares because you're going
to make up for them and so much more. You know,
with more downfield stuff, you're going to score more and
the Lord knows it's going to be more exciting to watch.
So looking forward to what the next month and a
half or so is going to bring. Speaking of which,

(08:13):
Aaron Rodgers calling for a fan code of conduct conduct
after the suspension of DK Metcalf. We touched on that
last week, and you know, this is a receiver for
the Lions. He went into the stands and not into
the stands, pardon me. He was standing field level and
he took a swipe at a fan who was taunting him.

(08:33):
The fan apparently just taunting him with this full legal name,
and Aaron Rodgers saying, you can't justify that, but we
need a fan code of conduct. So I'd love your
take on it. Do you think we need some kind
of fan code of conduct when it comes to things
said to players? And if so, what should that look like.
I think we can all agree that you should have
a fan code of conduct in terms of how people

(08:55):
treat fans around them. But what about things being said
to players? Do you agree with Rogers? And what would
that sound like?

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Anything that is digital, which is like just someone out
of computer doing something. AI is going to take over
those jobs like lightning, Codingah, it's going to take over
those jobs like lightning, just like it, just like digital
computers took over the job for people doing manual calculations,
but much faster of humans food, who build things with

(09:24):
their hands or do things with their hands like plumb,
you know, literally welding, electrical work, plumbing, anything that's that's
physically moving atoms, like cooking food or you know, farming
right or like like anything that's that's physical. Those jobs
will exist for a much longer time.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
White great advice from Elon Musker. I've got to tell you,
I think that's going to be the story of twenty six.
I think there'll be some other big stories in twenty six.
I think peace will be a big story in twenty six.
Trump has proven himself very good at that. Peace through
strength people take serious, see enemies are afraid of them.
I do think that we're going to see a piece

(10:04):
steel done in Ukraine, and unfortunately, you know, Putin is
going to get some land he shouldn't have because Putin
is Satany's satan on earth and he's going to get
that land. But that's in a Trump's fault, that's the
fault of Europe, which failed to step up for Ukraine.
They gave some money and lip service, but the only
way the devil was ever going to be stopped once

(10:25):
it went into Ukraine was through European boots on the
ground and not a World War three. But you're approving
it was willing to fight for Ukraine if it needed to,
and of course it wasn't, and Putin figured that out
right away. So yeah, Putin will come away with some
land he shouldn't have, but that the mass casualty bloodshed
will end in Ukraine and the Ukrainian people who have

(10:48):
been so incredibly heroic, and I know there's been a
lot of graph there and a lot of theft and fraud,
but you can't blame that on the everyday Ukrainian, particularly
not those who are out fighting and dying for their country.
You know, Ukraine as a people have fought very bravely
and tired and well, and so they're going to emerge
with much of their nation intact, not all they should have,
but much of it. And then the origin of course

(11:10):
of you know, the start of the rape and pillaging.
That goes back to the weakness of Obama, the weakness
of Biden. The over our question of whether that weakness
is by design. In the case of Obama, clearly it was.
I mean, he just came out stated that he didn't
want America to be superior to any other nation militarily
or in the world order. No world order that elevates

(11:32):
one nation or group of people over another will succeed.
That's Obama's verbatim quote to the UN. And so with Biden,
was that by design or was that just a product
of not having a president which we did not have.
You know, people, I know a lot of people believe
that twenty twenty election was stolen, you know, via ballot

(11:52):
box fraud, etc. I've never seen the proof of that.
I've never been able to conclude that, but it certainly
was rich in the sense the media got together and
the media buried that story claimed falsely of was Russian disinformation, etc.
The Hunter Biden laptop story. Certainly, if that story had
been fully reported. Trump ends up winning a close election.

(12:16):
But we as we now move forward, you know, Trump
is going to fix as well as it can be fixed.
Now what Biden broke because the fact we did not
have a functioning president and that's another way, you know,
the bearing of the laptop story, but also just the
cover up for Biden's state and everybody talks about, oh,

(12:37):
Biden's state heading into the twenty four election, are you
kidding me? Biden's mental state heading into the twenty twenty election.
He wasn't mentally competent to become president of the United States,
and that was covered up too, But Evil could see it.
Putin could see it, and that was an invitation. Certainly
after Biden surrendered in such a horrific way in Afghanistan,
that was the invitation for Putin to command. Everybody knows,

(12:59):
everybody honest will acknowledge that if Trump gets those consecutive
back to back terms, well, Putin doesn't go into Ukraine.
He didn't go into Ukraine during Trump's first term, and
he's not going into Ukraine and Trump's second term He's
going to be coming out of at least portions of it.
So yeah, that never would have happened if if Trump

(13:21):
got those back to back terms three h three someone
three eight two five five the number text d an
five seven seven three nine. And when I say he's
not going into Ukraine and Trump's second term, obviously Putin
continues to send troops in et cetera. But it's in
furtherance ofvil war that started under Biden and wouldn't have
never started if Trump was in office. Hey, before the

(13:43):
break again, I mentioned something on Netflix now that I
think you're going to want to see even if you
don't have an interest in sports, but particularly if you do,
if you have an interest in sports that probably includes
the Broncos. This new Netflix special on Lway is really
really good and I think you will enjoy it in

(14:04):
so many different ways, the Lways story, because he really
is underappreciated. And that's strange coming from me, I know,
because I've been so critical of him on air for
throwing away Tim Tebow, which you know, really hurt the
Broncos over the course of ten or twelve years. Obviously,
Peyton Manning, you know, hall of fame guy, hall of
fame player, tremendous to have him here and won a

(14:25):
Super Bowl with him no surprise, but with Tebow you
would have had a full you know, ten years, ten
years of really great, competitive, interesting football that mattered. And
so throwing away Tebow. I've been critical of that. I've
been critical of not drafting Josh Allen and so yeah,
I've been critical of John Elway on air, but he

(14:46):
has been and I've said this over the decades. He's
by far been the greatest athlete in Denver history. But
it goes way beyond that. It goes back to when
he got here and what it meant for Denver, what
it meant for Colorado, what it meant for the Broncos
and their revolution. And though he's considered one of the
greats of all time, that's not good enough. I mean,

(15:06):
he was so good and so tough and his arm
I don't think he's ever been matched so well worth seen.
And it's a great reminder historically we're very, very very
lucky to get John Elway here. And an interesting story too,
with some twists and turns. And then on a related note,

(15:27):
something you should not be watching is I've talked before.
You know, a big fan of Yellowstone, the show Yellowstone.
I always throw out the caveats if you haven't seen it,
don't watch it with kids, and kids are no kids.
You may be offended by some of the really rough
stuff and Yellowstone, whether it's the violence of Sacks both.
But there are some spinoffs from Yellowstone, including eighteen twenty three,

(15:49):
which is a lead up to Yellowstone, and I like
to appoint the first season of that, but please do
not do not watch the second season of eighteen to
twenty three. Do you watch that stuff? Do you see
a thatchin? But it's just horrible, which which is a
waste of some really good actors. But it's just horrible.

(16:11):
It's way way, way, way way too unnecessarily violent and cruel,
and the sex stuff is just bizarre. Yeah, they Yeah,
do not waste your time on that. Three or three
Someone three eight two five five talking about Aaron Rodgers
saying there needs to be a code of conduct for
what fans can say to players. A Texter does not

(16:33):
agree Dan a fan code of conduct. Blank. Know, these
guys get paid millions. If you can't blank and take it,
turn away blank them. Plus if it wasn't for the fans,
they'd be dead in the water. My guess is that
tech sums up the attitude of probably about ninety five
percent of the audience, and I get it to a point,

(16:55):
but I do think there are lines, and there are
clear lines, and those lines should be enforced and fans
should be thrown out if they cross those lines. Where
do you draw those lines? I'll tell you where I do.
You're on the Dan Caplish four. Glad you're here, a
Texter says Dan. Love your show. You can say F
instead of the word. Again, I love your show and
not good of you to be here on a Friday

(17:16):
after what a great Christmas. Thank you Texter for the
kind words. The reason when somebody uses the F word or,
in the case of the last texture, the F without
the rest of the word that I just say blank
is you know you don't want to slip up, especially
not on that word. That could happen three o three
seven one three eight two five five takes d An

(17:37):
five seven seven three nine. It's kind of wide open
Today's you'd imagine, because it's really I can't even call
it a quasi holiday. It's an extension of Christmas today.
There's have you ever seen less traffic on the road,
Channon on a weekday other than maybe Christmas itself almost
seemed like there was a lot more traffic on Christmas,
right because you're going to Grandma's and off to the
woods and all sorts of stuff. Yet today is is

(18:00):
dead as I think I've ever seen it on a weekday,
which is great because I don't think anybody, any of
us are going to lay on our deathbed and say, man,
I wish they had worked it one more day, you
know what I mean. It's just we're gonna sit or
lay on the deathbed and say, why didn't we take
more time off? Speaking of which, predictions for twenty six.

(18:20):
And I'm good at some things, bad at others, but
I'm really good at predictions. And the nice thing is
there's nowhere to hide on that, right I do it
on air. You can test it, you can see it's
there for everybody to measure in grade three all three
seven one three eight two five five text d A
N five seven seven three nine twenty twenty six. I
know this isn't original, but but I sure hope we're

(18:43):
focused on it, each and every one of us in
our own lives, because you know it's gonna be continuous.
But twenty six, I think is going to be such
a mega year in terms of shifts in the job
market due to AI. I played that Elon musk sound
earlier because I really do believe that, you know, the
folks who are really skilled plumbers and welders and electricians

(19:06):
and home builders, road builders, et cetera, they are in
the catbird sea because those are those are professions. I mean,
people call them different things, but those are professions. And
it takes an awful lot to be able to do
that well. And we all know the price that's paid
when it's not done well, and we know how great

(19:26):
it is when it is. And again, are those are
some of the few, relatively few jobs that aren't in
jeopardy because of AI. And I think you're going to
see I think all of society is going to benefit
because the people who are really good at that right now,
they're I think going to be in a position to
make even more money. And I think you're going to

(19:48):
see more people moving into it. And the people are
really good. I say that because they're going to be very,
very valued, and they're also going to be able to survive.
Because I think you're going to see more and more
people moving into those professions some call trades, some call
them that. There's an art to it often, but you're
going to see more people moving into those areas because

(20:10):
you know a lot of people their jobs are either
going to be knocked out altogether or severely compromised by AI.
There's just no denying that. And because this AI thing
tends to happen in leaps and bounds, and yeah, there
are some relatively stagnant periods, but there's been such big
steps taken already. My guess is you probably use AI
right now a whole lot more than Google, maybe use Gemini,

(20:33):
the Google version of it, but it is already at
this point cutting into so many jobs. Can you imagine
where we're going to be in a year when we
get the next big kind of breakthrough development or two?
And then they tend to build on themselves. So I
think we're going to see a lot more kids and others,

(20:54):
you know, either skipping college and going into these serious,
you know, trade educational program or you'll see more and
more colleges and universities blending the two. So I think
twenty twenty six, that combined with peace is going to
be a huge story. I think you heard it in
the newscast as well that Zelensky is going to visit
with Trump on Sunday and Mari Lago Zelensky says they're

(21:17):
ninety percent done on a piece deal, not that Russia
has agreed to it. But I think what Zelensky is
is wisely trying to set up is get all the
way there with Trump, get a commitment from President Trump
that yes, this is the deal that should happen, and
I think Selensky will give just about anything he needs
to to make that happen. And the trade off for

(21:39):
Zelenski giving on certain territorial issues, etc. Is going to
be a sec security guarantee from the US, which is,
you know, it's just a fancy way of saying, hey,
if Russia comes back in, the US is going to
back up Ukraine. But in what specific ways will it?
So I think those are the details that are going
to get worked out. But I think selenski mission, I

(22:00):
don't know if he'll accomplish it, and I don't know
if he should depending on the specifics, but I think
his mission is going to be to get President Trump
to a deal, to a deal that Trump backs, because
at that point, if Russia doesn't, then you know, President
Trump may go back to amping things up against Russia.

(22:21):
So I expect that's going to be Silensky's mission come
Sunday three or three someone three eight two five five
text d A N five seven seven three nine. But
obviously we wouldn't even be in a position of discussing
whether a peace deal is going to happen were it
not for President Trump, because before he came in, all
that happened was Biden's weakness essentially invited the devil Putin

(22:44):
into Ukraine, and there was no prospect for peace whatsoever
until Trump took office. Much more, I want to cover
this afternoon. You know, we've been talking about sports a
little bit. Aaron Rodgers wants to see a fan code
of conduct things fans cannot say to players, and I
agree with it. I think there should be some lines.

(23:04):
I think that should be very narrowly drawn. I mean,
the fans they pay good money to go, I'm part
of that should be narrowly drawn. But I think there
are clear, bright lines we should all agree on. And
whoever texted earlier to say no lines whatsoever, etc. Would
love to take your text or your calling this because
my guess is you would agree with me on this.

(23:26):
Race no reference to race. Can't say anything racial to
a player. I think everybody would probably agree on that. Children,
no reference to the player's kids in any kind of
negative way. Wife think, no reference to a player's wife
in any kind of negative way. Any other line you
would draw, you know, those are my big lines right there.

(23:51):
Religion Would you include that? Now? I don't want to
see any player baited on his religion or her religions.
I'd be inclined to go there. Would you go there?
But you know those big three right out of the gate. Race, children, wife,
or husband in the case of you know, female athletes. Yeah,

(24:11):
I think we should all be able to agree on those.
But maybe not. And that's part of what makes talk
radio interesting. In three at three seven three eight two
five five the number text d A N five seven
seven three nine, a texter says Dan, I have been
a plumber for twenty five years. I think shop class
should become a requirement in high school. Again, shoot, met

(24:32):
a requirement. I don't think you're gonna have to require
it the way I as ai? Is that how they
say it in English? Synnon, I'll look that up during
the break. The way AI is taking over. I think
you're gonna have kids demanding that class. So if the
kids aren't demanding the class, their parents are going to
be demanding the class. You're gonna have long lines to

(24:52):
get into the classes, you know, whether it's shop for plumbers, electricians,
you know, the home builders, carpenters. Yeah, that there's going
to be such an explosion into the future of people
moving into those professions. And I assume it's already happening
right now, but by this time next year, you bet

(25:14):
you hey, And as we've talked some of this sports
stuff and if you just joined us now, thank you.
I am. I really really hope you see the Lway
special that just started airing on Netflix. The documentary I
think premiered on the twenty third, well worth seeing. But
let me tease into this because I don't want to
have to rush it or rush the follow up when

(25:35):
we come back. And it doesn't matter if you're a
sports fan or not, but we've got that theme working
a little bit. Today. I want to play for you
some sound from Tim Tebow and I want you to
hear what he has to say about that big playoff
game he won in Denver. When they beat the Pittsburgh
Steelers Denver one as wild car TIBO had taken over

(25:58):
the worst team in the NFL statistically for the prior
eighteen months, the worst team in the NFL. TBO took
him over and had a seven in one street. But
TIBO got into the playoffs and then big upset went
over Pittsburgh. But the sports part of it is the
least of it. I want you to hear what TBO
has to say about what happened in that game, and

(26:19):
then if you happen to be an atheist, glad you're listening.
I'm not an atheist, but if you happen to be
an atheist, I want you to tell me at the
end of this segment whether you're still an atheist. I
don't think you will be. You're on the Dan Capla Show,
Dan Capla Shannon Scott, the Icon behind the Glass Appreciation
and Helping Out Today three all three seven and three

(26:40):
eight two five five texts d A N five seven
seven three nine.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
Hey.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
I teased into this segment saying that after you hear
this this tape from Tim Tebow, I'm about to play
talking about that historic playoff win over Pittsburgh after Tebo
took over the worst team in football. The Broncos had
been the worst team in football for about eighteen months,
led him to the playoffs and then to this great
playoff victory. Once you hear t Boat talk about things

(27:08):
that happened during this game, if you're an atheist, I'm
betting you will be an atheist no longer. So I'm
going to fire that tape right now. Get your react.
You can text us as well. D An five seven
seven three nine.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
Playing for the Denver Broncos and we were playing the
Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL playoffs and we win. It's
a real moment and it's just like, it's unbelievable. I
walk in this big room packed full of media. There's
all these curtains out front, and I'm standing in front
and Patrick arpr guy there steps in front of me.
He said, Timmy, do you realize what happened? And I'm like, yeah,

(27:45):
we just beat the Steelers. We're going to play the Patriots.
He's like, yeah, I know what happened. Dude, Like, why
did you ask me such a silly question?

Speaker 5 (27:51):
Then he goes, no, do you know what happened?

Speaker 6 (27:55):
And I'm like, uh, I thought I did, Patrick, what happened?

Speaker 4 (27:59):
You just see this different demeanor And he said, Timmy,
now you don't know what happened.

Speaker 5 (28:07):
Timmy.

Speaker 4 (28:08):
It's exactly three years from the night that you wore
John three to sixteen under your eyes. And I'm like, oh, wow,
that's awesome, that's so cool. And he said, no, no, no,
you don't realize it, Timmy. During the game, you threw
for three hundred and sixteen yards. And I'm like what,
And he said, Timmy, during the game, your yards per

(28:30):
rush were three point one six. Your yards per completion
were thirty one point six. The ratings for the night
were thirty one point six, and the time of possession
was thirty one point six. And during the night, over
ninety million people have google John three sixteen. It's the
number one trending thing all over And I think he
even mentioned something about there were so many people tweeting

(28:52):
about it that like Twitter even froze or something like that.
At least that was what I was told, and I
was standing in that hallway, and I don't think I
had the reaction that a lot of people think I
did it because I went from a high and a
celebration and a joy to a conviction and a disappointment.

(29:14):
Why Because when he was telling me that, I knew
that God was convicting me, saying, Timmy, you thought tonight
was about a game.

Speaker 6 (29:26):
You thought it was about all of these things. It's
never just about a game. I didn't die for a game.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Wow, there's no other explanation, right, there's no natural, scientific
explanation for that. I think I'm wrong. Yeah, as Prime says,
you know where to find me three or three seven one,
three eight two five five text d A and five
seven seven three nine. But how could it be anything

(29:56):
other than divine intervention? First, you have a quarterback take
over the worst statistically the worst team in football for
the prior eighteen months lead him to the playoffs. That alone,
I think there was a seven and one streak in
there too. But then in this game against Pittsburgh, and
Pittsburgh at that point, Denver was a wildcard. Pittsburgh was
a top seed, not the top seed, but a top
seed I think maybe a division winner. Best defense in

(30:19):
football at the time, as I recall it. So what
are the chances in with John three point sixteen being
just a core of Christianity. It's a pillar of Christianity.
For God so loved the world that he gave his
one and only son that whoever believes in him should
not perish but have eternal life. What are the chances
in that coincidentally it's three years to the night that

(30:42):
Teba wore the EyeBlack three sixteen and had I think
about one hundred million people search that three hundred and
sixteen yards just that alone. What are the chances that's
random three hundred and sixteen yards with a lot of
those coming on that last overtime pass thirty one point
six three point sixteen I think yards per carry thirty

(31:07):
one point six, rating time of possession thirty one point six.
One of the chances that happens coincidentally randomly, I'd say
those chances are as close to zero as the mathematicians
can assign it. So doesn't that prove it right there?
I mean, there are so many things that prove it,
And I'd say it's not saying that sports are bigger

(31:29):
than anything else out there. I mean, I'm really into sports,
and I enjoy it like anybody else. I enjoy playing it,
I enjoy watching it. But I understand how small in
the grand scheme of things it really is. But that
doesn't mean God doesn't use sports sometimes. I think clearly
did hear? And when you stop and think about it,
to great effect, right, because Tim Tebow was able to

(31:50):
use that platform, and he got that platform, this enormous platform,
Sports Illustrated declared, and it was true. Tabo went very
quickly from being a backup to being the most popular
figure in all of sports. Why in large part because
of his Christianity is bold, courageous Christianity. But people wouldn't
have cared much about that worldwide unless he was also

(32:13):
a winner. So he was a winner against long odds
and against the experts predictions put experts in quotes. Though
a lot of true experts, legitimate experts, you know, predicted
Tebow would fail and they were proven wrong, and a
lot of met a hard time admitting they were wrong
about it. But what happened on the field can't be denied.
But yeah, so, all of a sudden, Tim Tebow his

(32:36):
football skills. He was arguably one of the top most
effective messengers in our lifetime for Christianity, and while he
was allowed to play, it was a phenomenal thing, and
he won the faith without the winning yet doesn't captivate
the sports world, but he did both. So what are

(32:58):
the chances all those things happening that night in that
playoff game our somehow coincidental? I think any honest person
would have to say pretty much, Cyril three or three seOne, three, eight, two, five,
five the numbers. So the next time you're talking to
one of your atheist friends, pull that out at a barbecue. Yeah,
that should do it. Texter dan ate to say it.

(33:19):
But AI is going to replace a lot of lawyers. Boy,
that is sure? Is that true? Not at our law firm,
you can be you can count on that. A. I
won't replace any lawyers at our law firm. We are
a trial law firm, and there are very, very very
few trial law firms. I was thinking, Shannon, you know,
I walked out of my office today. It'll be my
last time this year because I'll be with the family.

(33:40):
We'll be traveling back to Florida where my mom and
dad are buried for the next week, and we have
this great family trip every year. But I just I
was so grateful. Yeah, hey, we're having a great show
this afternoon. I just don't know whether anybody's heard it.
I trying to remember all these decades on air. I'm
trying to remember ever driving into a show and having
less traffic, I mean so much less traffic, excuse me,

(34:02):
than yesterday Christmas Day, because of course everybody's going here
and there to visit, but virtually nobody on the roads,
and which makes sense. I'm glad to see that. Jest,
you get a set up like this right where you
got the Christmas on a Thursday, Yeah, you would hope
a lot of people would end up choosing to take
Friday off or get Friday off. And yeah, it's a

(34:23):
beautiful thing. Three at three seven one three eight two
five five the number text d A N five seven
seven three nine. So I was saying to Shannon Scott,
and Shannon's iconic in this business. If you're new to
the area or new to talk radio, and how long
has it been for you, Shannon? How many decades since
ninety three? Ninety three we came in about the same time,

(34:43):
But it's been continuous for you. I think I did
my first show in ninety one maybe, and then a
year or two in there where I didn't have a show.
I love to count them up when these days, so
we've been doing it about the same amount of time,
and U, Yeah, it's just crazy. I wouldn't be surprised
if nobody was listening. If you are listening and you

(35:05):
want to call three h three someone three eight two
five five, texts DA N five seven seven through nine.
But I was saying to Shannon, you know, I want
to do the kind of show that I do if
nobody was listening. Wouldn't that be really weird. You're hosting
a radio show and you come in and you're thinking, Okay,
there's nobody listening today. What would that show sound like?
And I bet it would be one of the best

(35:27):
shows that you'd ever do. Just like dancing. You know,
if you dance like nobody's watching, you know, for a
lot of people, that's going to be the best they
ever dance. For some people, it wouldn't be. Some people
just want that crowd, right. I've always accused my wife
of that little bit. She's incredibly beautiful and a phenomenal dancer,
and she's one of those people who I think, yeah,

(35:48):
she she enjoys she knows everybody's watching her dance. She
enjoys that because she's so good at it. I don't
enjoy it because I'm so bad at it. Three h
three someone three eight two five, five, d an five seven,
seventh through nine. A lot of different topics going this afternoon,
all very appropriate to this date, and it is my
last show of the year. We take that week after
Christmas every year as a family, and we traveled down

(36:11):
to Florida, where my mom and dad retired to Florida
from Chicago because my mom got in physema pretty young.
She got in phasma in her sixties and then they
retired down there. They're both buried down there. We have
so many good memories. The kids from the time they
could remember anything, have great memories of that Fort Myers
area in Florida. So we all had down there, which
makes today my last show of the year. So we're

(36:33):
doing some of those kind of topics today, including Hey,
what's going to be big in twenty six? You know,
not to Brad, but I have a really good track
record when it comes to predictions, eerily good. And this
isn't original. I think it's the magnitude of it. I
would stress that AI and the way it's just going
to reshape the job market in twenty six. It's going

(36:55):
to be really scary, really exciting in some ways. But boy,
the people who right now are just really skilled plumbers, electricians, welders, carpenters,
home builders, construction specialists. Man, they are just in the
driver's seat. And I think you're going to see more
and more really talented people flood into what some people

(37:17):
call the trades. And I just clearly they're professions and
demanding professions. But there's going to be a lot more
competition in those professions because a lot of talented people
are going to be driven out of other kinds of jobs.
And we had a texture toward the end of the
hour who said, Dan, hate to say it, but AI
is going to replace a lot of lawyers. You're still right, Texture,

(37:38):
But not a single lawyer in our firm's going to
be replaced by AI. Because we are trial lawyers. We
go to court now you know, we represent victims, and
still we settle a lot of cases prior to trial.
But we settle from a position of strength because everybody
knows we will go to courd and we know what
we're doing. We will go to cord If you know

(37:58):
insurance company doesn't pay all should and I don't mean
it to sound like a commercial, but that's the reality.
We go to trial. People can't fake that. There's a
publication called the Jury Verdict Reporter. It documents who goes
to trial and who doesn't. And so yeah, no, AI
is not going to replace any lawyers in our firm
because we go to trial. Hard to picture AI going
to trial, right And in my view, yeah, anybody can

(38:22):
settle a case, but I don't know how people settle
cases consistently for full value if they don't prove they're
ready to go in and try the case, if the
insurance carrier won't pay. So yeah, no, AI won't take
any kind of bite out of our firm, but it will. Yeah,
a lot, a lot of lawyers are going to be
replaced by AI. And you see that happening right now.

(38:42):
It doesn't mean the client comes in, sits down and
talks to the computer, obviously, but you know AI makes
so many things easier and quicker that you're going to
have a lot of firms doing more with fewer lawyers.
So there's no question. I mean, I have no doubt
in my mind of things. You're going to see a
bunch of people who otherwise would have become lawyers. And listen,

(39:05):
I can tell a lawyer joke at the best of
my enjoy and my laugh at them. But I'm really
grateful that I was able to become a lawyer. I'm
really grateful for having had this forty two year career
and another forty two to come, God willing, And yeah,
I'm deeply fulfilling and appreciate all of that. But at

(39:27):
the same time, I'm realistic about some of the challenges
and the profession and some of the ways that people
view lawyers. And I'm also very realistic about the fact
that as much as I've enjoyed and have been fulfilled
and blessed by being a lawyer, there are a bunch

(39:49):
of lawyers out there who are really good at what
they do, but they're not happy. And I think that
what you're going to see is I think you're going
to see a lot of people who otherwise would have
become lawyers. I'm not saying experts of the pool, but
there goes. I see a lot of people who would
become lawyers who, because of AI, now they may go
and become a master plumber or an electrician, or a

(40:10):
welder or a carpenter and be very successful and lead
very very, very happy and fulfilling lives. And that's one
thing about the trades. We've been talking about how with
AI you're going to see more and more people moving
into the trades. But I think one reason you've seen
so many good people in the trades is that I

(40:34):
think it's a great life for folks, right because you
get home at the end of the day, unless somebody's
on call overnight, for example, as a plumber or electrician,
you get home at the end of the day and
the works behind you, so you have your life when
you get home. It's not running through your mind the
same way it might be if you were a lawyer.

(40:54):
That doesn't mean that being a lawyer is in any
way superior to be an electrician, not at all. They're
just toofferent types of professions. And I'm sure the popularity
of electricians is much higher than the popularity of my
chosen line of work. But yeah, I think you're going
to find a lot of people who they provide a
great service, They make a great living and a very

(41:18):
fulfilling kind of life with a lot of peace of
mind and a lot of quality family times. So yeah,
I think you're going to see those big shifts starting now.

Speaker 6 (41:28):
Dan.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
The law schools are teaching today are not the law
schools and Yesterdyr time to step on their blanking toes.
It's time to start teaching con law again. You know,
I was thinking about it the other day. Maybe I'll
go start and teach at a law school, but I
have to believe they're still teaching con law. And one
of the things I'm so glad you mentioned that because
I've been working real hard now on next year's show,

(41:51):
and one of the things they're going to be doing
in next year's show is we're going to have a
regular con law class. Not the kind of your eyes
glaze over kind of thing, but constitutional law is one
of those really interesting, fascinating areas of law that none
of us have to be a lawyer or any kind

(42:13):
of Einstein to get. And con law is so so
just relatable to kind of things in everyday life. I
just think it's fascinating and easy to learn. If it
was easy for me to learn, it's going to be
easy for you to learn. And so we're going to
start doing a regular con law class on the show
with Top con law professors and experts and things like

(42:36):
that that I think you'll find really really interesting. Dan,
I'm thinking I'm always listening and see whatever you want, right, Okay,
a couple of smiling emojis. Appreciate that Dan and Shannon
living in Firestone, whatever topic you pick, I am loving it. Wow, Shannon,
that's a nice shout out. Grateful for that, Dan. That

(42:58):
clip from Tebow was incredible. That from Alexa, Thank you,
Alexa and Alexa has been a tremendous part of our
year every year, and I want to come back with
that tebo clip because one of the most interesting things
to me that the change during these decades on air
has been going from I think a noticeable block of

(43:22):
people who either didn't believe in God or doubted God
exists or had big questions to where we are now,
or I think the vast, vast, vast majority of people
believe the obvious that God exists. They then have questions
that go from there. But that's why I want to
play this tebo sound because I don't know how anybody

(43:44):
could listen to what Tim Tebow says here and remain
an atheist. And I would bet that any atheist listening
to this next segment will not be an atheist at
the end of it, or at least will be seriously
questioning their atheism. You're on the Dan Kaplo Show. Glad

(44:05):
you're here this extended Christmas Celebration three O three seven
one three eight two five five text d an five
seven seven three nine In a as long as we're talking
about Christmas, the Birth of Christ, might as well just
put to bed any lingering atheism there, because nobody could
remain an atheist after hearing this clip from Tim Tebow.

(44:27):
I'm about to play quick context and it doesn't matter
whether you're into sports or not into sports. But for
those not into sports, you're gonna hear Tim Tebow talking
about a playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He quarterback
the Denver Broncos. The backdrop for this is that Tebow
had taken over the worst team in football. It had

(44:47):
been the worst team statistically for about the eighteen months
before that, and then he led the team on a tear.
I think at one stretch they were seven and one.
In any case, led them to the playoffs and they
get in as a wild car. So those are kind
of last in and then you've got Pittsburgh, which, if
I remember right, was a division champ or no, Denver,

(45:07):
pardon me, I think Denver got in is the division champ,
and then Pittsburgh was a wildcard, but Pittsburgh considered the
better team, and Pittsburgh at that point had the top
defense in the league. So, long story short, tim Tebow
leads Denver to this big, shocking upset playoff victory, and
he wins the game in overtime with this dramatic touchdown

(45:28):
pass to the lake to Marius Thomas. So that's the setup.
But then here you have t Boat talking about what
else happened that day. And my premise is nobody can
remain an atheist after hearing this, because simply all of
these things could not have happened by chance.

Speaker 4 (45:47):
Playing for the Denver Broncos and we were playing the
Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL playoffs and we win. It's
a real moment, and it's just it's unbelievable. I walk
in this big room, packful of media, there's all these
curtain out front, and I'm standing in front and Patrick
arpr guy there steps in front of me. He said, Timmy,
do you realize what happened. And I'm like, yeah, we

(46:09):
just beat the Steelers. We're going to play the Patriots.
He's like, yeah, I know what happened.

Speaker 5 (46:12):
Dude, Like why did you ask me such a silly question?
Then he goes, no, do you know what happened?

Speaker 6 (46:19):
And I'm like, uh, I thought I did, Patrick what
happened because you could just see this different demeanor. And
he said, Timmy, now you don't know what happened.

Speaker 5 (46:31):
Timmy.

Speaker 4 (46:32):
It's exactly three years from the night that you were
John three sixteen under your eyes. And I'm like, oh, wow,
that's awesome, that's so cool.

Speaker 5 (46:42):
He said, no, no, no, you don't realize it. Timmy.
During the game you threw for three hundred and sixteen yards.

Speaker 4 (46:49):
And I'm like what And he said, Timmy, during the game,
your yards per rush were three point one six. Your
yards per completion we're thirty one point six. The ratings
for the night were thirty one point six and the
time of possession was thirty one point six. And during
the night, over ninety million people have google John three sixteen.

(47:10):
It's the number one trending thing all over And I
think he even mentioned something about there were so many
people tweeting about it that like Twitter even froze or
something like it.

Speaker 5 (47:18):
At least that was what I was told.

Speaker 4 (47:20):
I was standing in that hallway, and I don't think
I had the reaction that a lot of people think
I did, because I went from a high and a
celebration and a joy to a conviction and a disappointment.
Why because when he was telling me that, I knew

(47:43):
that God was convicting me, saying, Timmy, you thought tonight
was about a game.

Speaker 6 (47:50):
You thought it was about all of these things. It's
never just about a game. I didn't die for a game.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
Wow. No, wait, that's my chance right. First of all,
the fact that Tebau had all that success and listen,
gots the talented guy, and you can explain in football
terms how he won all of those games, and we
cannects to know it if you'd like. But those stats
that night, No way, no way. What are the odds
that these things happen with? With John three point sixteen

(48:20):
being a pillar scripture of Christianity, For God soul loved
the world, that he gave his one and only son,
that whoever believes in him should not perish but have
eternal life John three sixteen? What are the chances that
you you get that? Three years to the night Tabo
wore three sixteen on his EyeBlack, causing about one hundred
million people to google it through for three hundred and

(48:41):
sixteen yards. I mean that alone, what are the odds?
Three point one six yards per carrie thirty one point
six yards per completion? I mean, first of all, in
the NFL, that's an off the chain kind of number.
Thirty one point six rating thirty one point six. How

(49:02):
often does anything get a thirty one point six? I mean,
that's extraordinarily high, but just coming in at that number
time of possession, thirty one point six? Come on, what
are the chances that happens by coincidence? It got to
be as close to zero as you can get. So, yeah,

(49:24):
if you're an atheist and you remain an atheist after
that clip, let's have the conversation because I'm curious. I'm
really curious as to how you remain there. Three or
three seOne three eight two five five the number text
d A N five seven seven three nine text or dan,
love your show and your villains? My favorite share of frames.
George Buckler and Doctor Dunn please keep it going. Well,

(49:44):
thank you, it's very very kind of you. And yeah,
we've we're blessed with so many superstar fillains and it's
one thing personally I'm very proud of because you get
a lot of people on air. I'm not saying here,
but at other stations, to get a lot of people
on air, the last thing in the world they want
are great villains, because then their key card may not
work the next day. I've always prided myself on getting

(50:07):
the best possible fillings imaginable, because hey, what are you
spending to listen to the show? You know, something extremely valuable,
your time, more valuable than your money, and you deserve
the best we can get. So thank you for noticing
that text or Yeah, very proud of that. And I
understand one of these days my key card card will
not work because they will have hired one of my felons,

(50:30):
and hey, that's the circle of life. I can handle that.
But yeah, very very happy with with all those great folks.
And believe me, the show that we're planning, just the
overall show that we're planning for twenty twenty six and
the new features and the guests, etc. It's going to
be it's going to be a tremendous makeover. And don't

(50:54):
get mere. I've enjoyed pian and Air all of these decades,
all of these years. But one thing I've done through
out that long, long, long stretch is, you know, we
have updated the show at different points, and the updates
have always been good and interesting, and you need to
do it. You need to do it just to keep
it fresh and stay jazzed every day. So yeah, the
structure of the show we have planned for twenty twenty six,

(51:17):
I think you're really going to enjoy. Dan. I was
at the Bronco playoff, went over the Steelers and recall
the John three to sixteen stats being broadcast over the airways,
but I had never heard Tibo's postgame thank you for
sharing the real Ralph, Glad it's not an imposter Ralph.
The real Ralph. Speaking of which, and we love the
real Ralph. A great texture, Shannon. We got about fifteen
twenty seconds the new Ralphie at CEU, one of the

(51:42):
best ever, maybe the second best ever. They went from
a buffalo who would not run to one that's just
ready to just fly right out of the cage and
love to see that. I remember the original Ralfie who
actually would run out of the stadium broke loose one
time started running down the street. Was even better in
the game You're on the Dan CAMPLI show mon Gummy.

Speaker 7 (52:05):
Lilian Bond Signor is a career first responder. In just
nine days, she'll be running the world's busiest fire department,
one of the most important appointments of the incoming administration.

Speaker 8 (52:16):
And they deserve a leader who cares about their work
because she did it herself, who understands every detail and
will fight tirelessly to empower FDNY and make it the
best firefighting forces in the world.

Speaker 7 (52:30):
Lilian bon Signor began her career as an EMT in
nineteen ninety one and was ultimately promoted to chief of
the city's EMS division, where she served for three years
before retiring in twenty twenty two. Although she never served
as a firefighter, and she's confident that won't matter.

Speaker 8 (52:48):
I know the job, I know what the firefighters need,
and I can translate that to this administration who's willing
to listener.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
I know what EMS needs.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
I have been EMS for thirty plus.

Speaker 7 (53:00):
Mont Signor is a trailblazer for the LGBTQ community who
will serve as the FDN wise first openly gay commissioner.
He's a highly respected, detail oriented Wow.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
Wow, that's the Modern Democratic Party for you. Right now,
we all know Mandami. He's much more open about his
socialism everything else. And not to get too heavy, but
this just comes back to kind kind of the core
fatal flaw. And there's so many but with the modern
Democratic Party, and that is the people who own and

(53:34):
operate at these far lefties. He's secular far lefties. They
just don't value human life, like each individual human life,
the way that so many Democrats individually do, traditional type
Democrats in their own life, including lots of people of faith.
The secular left that runs a party does not value
individual human life. Think about the mind blowing, the mind

(53:58):
blowing lack of rest backed for human life. It takes
to appoint her to be the chief of the New
York Fire Department, somebody who's never been a firefighter, right
it just if it wasn't going to get people killed,
it would make you laugh. And obviously the only reason

(54:19):
she's being appointed is because she's LGBTQ. And listen, there
are lots of extraordinarily talented professionals who are LGBTQ, but
they're extranally talented professionals at their own profession. The idea
that you're going to make the fire chief somebody who's
never been a firefighter. That just tells you everything you

(54:40):
need to know, not just about Mondami, because we already
know he's whack, but just everything you need to know
about the modern Democratic Party. The good news is that
people are seeing that and people are getting that, which
is why you know their numbers are what they are,
which even CNN is unofficial official part of the Democratic

(55:01):
Party had to acknowledge.

Speaker 9 (55:02):
In the minds of the American public are lower than
the dead sea.

Speaker 1 (55:06):
What are we talking about here, Well.

Speaker 9 (55:07):
Let's take a look the net approval rating for Democrats
in Congress. You said, a Kate Balwin, the lowest ever.
Look at us overall, they are fifty five points underwater.
They're approval rating is south of twenty percent. It's even
worse when you look at Independence. Look at this negative
sixty one points. That means that their approval rating is
sixty one points lower than their disapproval rating. Quinnipiac has

(55:30):
been pulling this question for the better part of the
twenty first century. They have never found Democrats, at least
those in Congress in worse shape than they are right now.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
See so many reasons to be optimistic moving forward because
people get it. I've been seeing it forever. People can
see it, people can see what's going on with this
Democratic Party. Now. As a former Democrat myself, I can
tell you that they're an awful lot of people, really
good people, patriots, faithful people who vote Democrat as a
matter of habit and the combination. It just can't even

(56:00):
imagine voting Republican, not because of what the Republican Party
really is, but because the stereotype. And I know is
a guy who once had that stereotype of the GOP
in my head. And I would have had that stereotype
of the GOP in my head. You know, it's just
a bunch of old white people only care about rich
white people, don't care at all about people of color,
don't care at all about the week in defense, assure

(56:23):
as hell, don't care about the working people. I would
have had that stereotype in my head till the day
I died, if I hadn't been blasted out of it
by events and you know, I won't go through the
whole lining now, but you know the drill. The old
Democratic Party left me in so many ways, including just
worship and glorifying and increasing and spreading abortion on demand

(56:43):
up to the moment of delivery and other things as well.
So yeah, so, and then I started going to Republican
events and things like that and learned that, wait a second,
the people in the GOP and the GOP much much
different than advertise. And by the way, all the things
I care about most, you know, protecting innocent life, the
week in defenseless working people, et cetera. The GOP has

(57:06):
much better ideas for that, and they actually work. But
I can't you know, the typical good person with their
typical good life, they're not going to have that same journey.
So the GOP loses so much more to the stereotype
about the GOP than it does on the issues. But
the point is from those approval ratings, yeah, people are
starting to wake up to what the Democrat Party really is.

(57:28):
The reason I play all that now other than just
for fun, is because we're doing prediction kind of stuff today.
My lead prediction was the major major upheaval in the
job market over AI, which I think is going to
be bigger in twenty six and most are predicting, and
then we covered that in detail. But another one is political.

(57:49):
It's the midterms, because you would think with numbers like
that that things would be looking good for the GOP
and the midterms, and I sure hope they are, but
that's not what I see coming. What I see comment
in the GOP getting pretty well clobbered in the midterms.
And you'd probably be thinking, well, why when when the
Dems are so down in the polling, And I think

(58:10):
the reason is intensity and passion and human nature. I mean,
this Trump victory in twenty four so enormous once again
saved America and so enormous, and Trump is having so
much success in so many different ways. Two things going
on human nature wise. One is that, hey, it's just

(58:31):
kind of human nature when things are going that well,
people tend to take it for granted. It's all of
us due to a certain extent. It's like, good times
make soft people soft people, make bad times, bad times
make hard people hard people make good times. So kind
of taking you know, Trump's success for granted. But the
other thing is man elections are won by passion and intensity,

(58:55):
and the intensity right now, I mean with each additional
Trump's success, the left gets more and more furious, feels
more and more politically impotent, and they are going to
unleash come these midterms in terms of turnout. And historically
we've seen a whole lot of Trump folders do not
turn out when he's not on the ballot. So that's

(59:16):
why I see, as well as historical trends, I see
a lot of continued success for Trump in twenty six,
but I still see the GOP having a tough, tough
mid term. But hopefully I'm wrong about that. If I'm
ever going to be wrong about a prediction, I want
it to be that one three or three seven one
three eight two five five text d A N five

(59:36):
seven seven three nine. I want to get you some
other interesting sound of the day Aaron Rodgers calling for
a fan code of conduct in terms of what you
can say to players. Are you good with that?

Speaker 3 (59:48):
I'm given on that visitors side on Detroit over there
is that guy ever that fan ever tackled.

Speaker 5 (59:53):
You or gotten on you in any particular way?

Speaker 1 (59:56):
Players?

Speaker 10 (59:56):
Probably? I mean I don't, uh, I don't have real
relationship with any of those fans. Uh, kind of by sight.
But there's always a lot of different things that are said,
some things that are benign and some things that aren't.

Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
And you know, I.

Speaker 10 (01:00:14):
Think there's a mindset that you pay pay for a ticket,
you say whatever the hell you want. I think there
should be some code of conduct. Obviously that was intentional,
and I think there was some celebration afterwards on his part. Obviously,
don't condone with what DK did.

Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
Yeah, DK detroit lyon fan was Hackling trying to get
his goat using his full legal name, which is kind
of a cool name, uh and and DK bitt and
he took a swing at the guy. Obviously he can't
do that, right. But the whole idea of the fan
trying debate him, trying to make him mad, like like
Metcalf's some kind of zoo animal. I don't like that
at all. So I do think there needs to be

(01:00:56):
some code of conduct. I'm just talking fan to player, obviously,
fan to fan and the stands. There's got to be
a code of conduct. Because you go to a game
as a fan, I mean, you have a right to
expect a certain experience. Here's my test. You should be
able to bring your kid to any game. I've been
bringing Joe and Caroline to Broncos, Rockies, Abs, Nuggets, see you,
Buffs since they could open their eyes. And so you

(01:01:20):
should be able to bring your kid to a game,
and you should be able to trust that that kid's
going to be able to enjoy the game without a
whole lot of f this f that sexual kind of stuff.
I'm not saying it needs to be a church service,
but that's my belief. If you disagree with that, would
love to have the conversation. But in terms of toward

(01:01:41):
to player, no I and it got some text people
saying there should be limits on you know, curse words,
et cetera toward players, And I'm not condoning the curse words,
but I'm saying I don't think a fan should be
thrown out for using a curse word tour to player.
Thought rather people didn't. I think a fan should be
thrown out if they're repeatedly using and curse words around

(01:02:01):
other fans, particularly children. And you know, I don't want
to sound sexist, but you know, gender factors into it
for me in this sense, and I know there are
a lot of women listening to say, Man, I don't
care what they say, and I respect that. But our
second date sen in our first date, and I've got
to hit this brake. I'll finish it after the break,

(01:02:22):
which should drive away everybody's listening. But our first date,
I mean, it was to a CU buff game that
was on a Saturday. Our second date, if I'm remembering
it right, was to Monday night football and it would
have been Broncos Raiders. And there was something that happened
in the seats at that game that made me do
something I've never done at any other sport, and I

(01:02:43):
got up. I walked up to the top. I talked
to a couple of guys I knew from DPD and
I just said, this has gone way too far. I'll
finish that after the break. You're on the Dan Kapla
show by fifty two. Wow has blown me away, just
as feeling of last show of the year for me,
the great lineup in next week, Well, I'm out. We
take this last week of the year every year as

(01:03:05):
a family, we go down to Florida. My mom and
dad retired there. My mom got in Phasimi Young when
my dad retired from Chicago Police Force. They moved down
to the Fort Myers area. We go down, they're buried
there and kids and we have such great memories. So
to be Christy Burton brown shere frames others next week,
but my last show of the year. So let me
just say thank you, thank you for listening and for

(01:03:27):
the give and take if you've been part of that,
and just so grateful. And I'll tell you the show
that we're designing for next year. It is going to
be absolute dynamite. I think you're gonna love it. Let's
go to the phone lines. I think this is our Alexa, Alexa.
How you doing.

Speaker 11 (01:03:43):
It is for Alex. I'm doing fine, wonderful. While what
a year in a happy new yearn't it. I never
imagine the tracy that took place this year.

Speaker 1 (01:03:54):
And it's not over there over yet. But yeah, and
a great year in so many different ways.

Speaker 11 (01:04:00):
Yes, absolutely, I want to tell you Ai, I love
parts of it. But I have had I booked a
car appointment a week out and said Thursday, October ninth,
and it told me October ninth one to the Thursday,
which was crazy because it was And I've compared a

(01:04:21):
couple of health plans and it came back with a
recommendation that I didn't even insuck. I guess it's called
a hallucination. I would not stick my life on AI
for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:04:35):
Yeah. No, I hope nobody does. But I think what's
inevitable is that it is doing so much right, and
it's advancing so quickly that an awful lot of jobs
are going to be lost to it, and it's going
to reshape it's going to reshape the landscape.

Speaker 11 (01:04:51):
Yeah, well, but it's going to take time. And I agree,
they're just there are just some things that can't figure
out that you did. The humans in it. It just
reminds me of that flight that landed in the stomach
and the movie that was made about it. Sure, I'm chapping, say, yeah,

(01:05:12):
the entire being boiled down to you didn't have the
human component of why why he made the right decision.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
Yeah. No, I'm into that, Alexa, And thank you for
all you've done and look forward to twenty six.

Speaker 11 (01:05:28):
Yeah, it'll be a great year. It will have a
wonderful vacation and enjoy the new year.

Speaker 1 (01:05:33):
Thank you very much. Thank you to Alexa. Yeah, and
that's why it's going to be fascinating to it and
it's already reshaping the employment landscape. And we talked earlier
about how and placed a Milama sound on this. If
you happen to be you know, a plumber, an electrician,
a carpenter, just keep going right on down the line,

(01:05:54):
you're really going to be in a very enviable position.
I think we'll see many other people go into those
proud trades as well, because obviously the kind of stuff
that you do with your hands you have to be
present to do, et cetera. You know, those jobs are
going to be the safest and continue to be very
much in demand and ritually rewarded. And so, yeah, it's

(01:06:17):
going to reshape a lot of things. Somebody had sent
a text about, Hey, it's going to replace a lot
of lawyers. Yeah, but not at our law firm. I mean,
we're a trial law firm. We're going to court and
try cases when the insurance company doesn't pay all it should,
and so you can't replace that with AI. But you're right,
it is going to replace a lot of law jobs,

(01:06:37):
a bunch of other jobs. Hey, quick mentioned by the
way end of the year, given if you're still thinking
about where to get the most bang for your buck,
my humble opinion, you cannot do better than Catholic Charities,
whether you're Catholic, you're any type of denomination, maybe you're
an atheist, if you're still looking to help people who
need it most, I don't think you can get a
better delivery system than Catholic Charities of Denver. And they

(01:06:59):
are in the tree wrenches getting it done day in
and day out. So Ccdenver dot org. And if you
make that contribution between now and December thirty first, our
law firm will match it up to a total of
one hundred thousand dollars. So Ccdenver dot org. And if
you want that match, go to a Capalist match c

(01:07:19):
Aplis match and it'll direct you to that page and
you can double the impact until that total reaches one
hundred thousand. So before time runs out, wanted to thank
Shennon Scott. It's always so great to work with shann
and he's a true icon in this business. He's been
doing it since I believe ninety four and as I
always say, I don't know why I say it, because
he's never going to do it, but if he decided

(01:07:41):
to go in front of the mic, it would be
the number one show in Denver. So great to see you,
my friend. Hey, what's going to happen with our beloved Cubuffs?
Great things happening for the Rams with the hiring of
Jim Mora. So very very optimistic about the CSO program.
What are we going to see with the Buffs?

Speaker 2 (01:07:59):
I am so sorry. I am at every game and
couldn't tell you a thing about the team.

Speaker 1 (01:08:04):
Because you're working too hard.

Speaker 2 (01:08:06):
I can't even see the field from where I'm sitting.

Speaker 1 (01:08:08):
Yeah, yeah, that is too bad, my friend. That is
too bad. But I am optimistic. I think coach Prime
he's a showman, but he's also a man of great substance,
and he knows that they're in a tough place right now.
And I think he's committed and he's going to find
a way to get back to the top. So what
an exciting year ahead sports, more importantly real life. Lots

(01:08:31):
of reasons to be optimistic. Thank you for all of
your time this year. Christy Burton Brown has the show
on Monday. Shehrif frames will be in on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Hopefully you'll be part of that as well. Shannon, you
have a great start to twenty six and boy, I
cannot wait for this Dan Kapla Show two point zero
twenty twenty six. It's going to be awesome. Thank you,
