Speaker 2 (00:14):
With a capitalist no a key, I'm John Caldera, filling
it for the working man who's stuck in a courtroom somewhere.
As I believe courtroom is the name of a bar
he frequents.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
But there we have it.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Just heard about the Mike Lindell verdict. Also, we're talking
about the parade that happened that never got covered. I
mean it was mentioned. The media mentioned the parade honoring
the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the military, but
only as a counterpoint to all the protests. And this

(00:53):
is why we hate the media. It's that kind of
stuff that just drives you crazy, drives me y. Let's
grab some of these phone calls with impatiently waiting. Let's
talk to Tracy first. Tracy, welcome you with John Caldera.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
Thank you. I think that parade was a great morale
booster for the United States Army.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
You don't think it was it was a power grab
by our dictatorial president.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Well, let's look at the withdrawal from Vietnam, our soldiers
were treated then being Ghazi, the withdrawal from Afghanistan. How
much money did we leave on the table.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
There, Now that's a different question, but agreed.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
It's a dropping the bucket with that parade cost what
that withdrawal from Afghanistan cost us?

Speaker 2 (01:49):
All things considered, I didn't need the parade. I think
it was a waste of money. That being said, I
don't at all see it as a vanity play from Trump.
Two d and fifty years of the military that brought
us our freedom is worth a celebration.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
I don't think this was about his birthday.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
I think it was just I think the left just
usurped the entire the entire thing.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
Well, you know, here's my favorite line from Gon with
the wind. As far as the left is concerned, Frankly,
my dear, I don't give it there.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
I tend to agree with you, and they seem to
not understand that they're the ones who put him in
office with this kind of stuff. All right, let's let's
talk to Glenn. Glenn, thank you, Tracy, thank you so much.
Let's talk to Glenn and then we'll get some to Brian. Glenn.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Welcome, Hi John.

Speaker 5 (02:55):
I'm a Korean Vietnam Cold War veteran. Uh My, uh,
I've got a lot of hours, maybe, but a lot
of my relatives were I had World War Two. I
had my dad was in World War One, and uh
I had the War of eighteen twelve was my great

(03:17):
great grandfather, and I had five of my relatives were
in the in the Revolutionary War. And uh I didn't
take the uh the parade and all of the fireworks

(03:39):
and all that. I thought that was a lot of
expense that we didn't need to go to. And I
understand that president the president uh Trump only four for
five minutes, So I don't really think it was about
him either. I don't think he was on the ego
trip event. I think this was something that was put

(04:01):
on by the military, particularly army, celebrating their twit and
who who won?

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Who who won the day? Media wise?

Speaker 2 (04:15):
In other words, when you think of the army, Trump
and those who hate Trump from a media perspective, who
got the better of the day this weekend.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
I don't care for the many media and I didn't
ask you that.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Let me try it again. Who who got who got
the best treatment?

Speaker 5 (04:40):
I guess media did.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Uh won the day.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
I don't think there's any doubt Trump haters, those people
who disliked Trump won the weekend.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
That is the media.

Speaker 5 (04:57):
I can't disagree with that. I can't disagree with at all.
I do think we spent an awful amount of money,
though on non on too much time spent, and uh,
you know, it may be good for recruiting and all
of that, and I understand that it was pretty good

(05:17):
for recruiting, but uh, you know, I don't think they
needed to spend Well, we'll have how long was it
two three hours? I didn't get to see the first partament.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
I take it all right, But thank you so much.
Have yourself a great day. Let's uh, let's sneak out
and talk to Brian. Brian welcome. You're with John keldera
gland to have you, Brian.

Speaker 6 (05:42):
John, Well, fancy your The question you just had is
I think Trump won the day as far as the
media goes through the world.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Do you come up with that one?

Speaker 6 (05:53):
Because the media was never going to cover the parade positively,
But if you just look at average people here we
are celebrating the military, and I didn't think it was
like an over egregious way or in the like a
dictorial way. But then you have on the other side,
let's burn some flags and storm my twenty five and

(06:18):
get tear gas. Like to me, it was like, really,
you know, I didn't watch the parade. It didn't do
much for me. I saw some highlights, but I thought
it was unnecessary. But you couldn't have two stark contracts
between celebrating this country and wanting the demise of this country.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
So in that way, I understand the point you're making.
But let's go through this chronologically. Trump says, we're going
to do this parade. We're gonna show.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
Off the military.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
It would be good for me, it'd be good for
the country, it's good for this, it's good for that.
And the counter to that was, we're gonna do this
no king's protest.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Well, by every.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Measure imaginable that no King's protests gathered, all the headlines gathered,
all the video gathered, all the talk gathered, all the imagery.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Those who those.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Who despised Trump stole this and won without a doubt
one this day.

Speaker 5 (07:31):
Well, I.

Speaker 7 (07:35):
Fan of this.

Speaker 6 (07:36):
All parade, But yeah, they got more coverage. I just don't.
I don't who won the war?

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Who won the war of the narrative?

Speaker 2 (07:48):
At the end of the day, here we are, Monday,
the morning after the weekend of festivities. On both sides,
which message has been ample more so the idea that
we've got a great military that's done wonderful things for
us for two hundred and fifty years, or that we

(08:09):
have a power hungry, maniacal tyrant as president, which one
of those two narratives one the day, I think it's
pretty clear.

Speaker 6 (08:23):
Well, I mean, and there's a couple of ways. There's
a couple of ways to look at it won the
narrative overall, I would say on both sides, because you're
never going to change anyone's mind on the far right
of the far left, but the people who are center right,
center left, common sense people, I would say I would

(08:45):
lean more of that Trump one the day, just because
it's just so insane.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Absolutely positively, and not for those people. If you were
agree on that, if.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
You were just average Joe, you're not tuned into politics.
You're not tuned in. You didn't know that there was
going to be a parade You didn't know that there
were going to be protests. You didn't know anything, and
you go through the weekend, the message that you are
going to hear is that people are worried that their

(09:17):
democracy is being stolen from them, those people in the middle,
those people who are uneducated voters, those people who are
led by narratives.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
This was an.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Overwhelming victory for the left from a pr standpoint. They
won the day because they have an overly what's gonna say,
overly sympathetic. They have a partner in the media that
took their side of the argument and took it a little.
Channel nine's coverage. They had the you know, the helicopters

(09:55):
in the air showing the protest. They had this, they
had that, they had this. If you are not already
convinced of a side, the anti Trump side just stole
that weekend in this.

Speaker 6 (10:11):
Do you think, John, do you think though they have to?
I don't think so, because you've got you've you've got
to you have to believe in something. So there's no
argument for this, No kings King's thing. To anybody that's
that's partial or partly partial or impartial, there's no argument
in it. You just see baby boomers and millennials with

(10:35):
purple hair waving these crazy signs around. How But there's
no argument behind it.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
There is no argument behind it.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
But now you know my worry about that is argument
and logic doesn't matter nearly as much as those of
us who are logical would like to believe. And who knows.
Let me let me take your side for a second.
The trust in the media is at an all time low.

(11:06):
How the media treated this was a perfect example of
why we hate the media, Why we feel so unrepresented
by the media. Why why the media is absolutely hostile
to people like us who think differently. In the long run,

(11:27):
it could be very damaging to the left. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
We'll have to see. I got to run to a break.
Thanks for the call.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Three oh three seven one three eight two five five
seven one three talk And for Dan, I'm John Kelderic
keep it here six thirty k how.

Speaker 8 (11:42):
And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
And you are really digging of some pillow songs. There
are not many pillow songs out there, are there?

Speaker 4 (11:51):
No?

Speaker 3 (11:51):
I found two of them though, you found two of them.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
And let us remember the first rule of pillow five
fight club is we don't talk about pillow fight club.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Pillow. I say that every time I whack my kid
with a pillow. We don't talk about Pillow fight club.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
I'm John Calderic, gonna be called three three seven one
three eight two five five. Mike Lindell found liable of defamation,
ordered a two point three million dollar judgment. Those are
often reduced, but that's a whole lot less than the
sixty two million dollars they were.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
Trying to get out of them. We got a couple
of callers here.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
I want to get to that, but first, Axios Denver
is reporting something I find to be rather exceptional. Since
the shooting in Minnesota. The Colorado Secretary of State, this
is our great Jenna Griswold, temporarily removed its public campaign

(12:55):
finance database from the Internet Saturday. Amen concerns could reveal
home addresses and other personal information about state lawmakers and
other officials. What about the rest of us who actually
contribute money?

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Let me explain.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
The Secretary of State's office houses the TRACER database. That's
transparency and contribution and expenditure reporting. It's a database that's
where you file your forms. If you're running for office,
or in my case, when I run something as as
an initiative, where if I fight something that's on the ballot,

(13:38):
I have to form an issue committee. If someone gives
us money, we have to put it on the form
for public inspection.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
This is why, by.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
The way, we don't like forced disclosure. Let me try
it this way. People always talk about this terrible thing
called soft money. Well, people have a right to get
involved in politics, but I also believe they have a

(14:10):
right to do so anonymously.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
Think of it this way.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Do you remember a few years ago when a crazy
guy went down to Colorado Springs and started shooting up
a Planned Parenthood there and killed a few folks. Imagine
if he knew who the top donors for that Colorado
Springs clinic was, he could just knock on their door
and blow them away. That's why Planned Parenthood does not

(14:37):
list its donors. To why my organization, Independence Institute never
lists our donors. The NAACP, which has been around for
a long time, never releases their donors. Why because when
they started I think in the fifties, maybe in the forties.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
Me even earlier.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
Those people who funded the National Association for the Advancement
of colored people. If they found out who was giving
them money, that funder would be lynched.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
So they never told.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
This is why transparency sounds terrific until you get shot.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
But check this.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Out, and this is so Jenna Griswold, and you should
be hacked off about that, depending no matter how you
feel about putting out the names and addresses not only
of elected officials, but they're contributors for and against them
in office running for office. Jenna takes down this website,

(15:51):
which by law is supposed to be up, and doesn't
tell anybody, doesn't tell anybody, and then on the website
she lies. She says that it's down for maintenance. It's
not down for maintenance. It is down because of the

(16:12):
shooting of four Minnesota state lawmakers in their homes.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
Two of them were killed and others were targeted. So
she removed.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Them and then says it's down for maintenance.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
That another lie.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Why do they lie to us instead of saying for
the safety in light of the shooting in Minnesota, we've
taken this down in an abundance of caution. M here's
what the spokesperson for the Department of State said, quote

(16:58):
in light of the weekend tragic events in Minnesota, and
out of an abundance of caution for the safety of
Colorado's elected leaders, the Department of State made a determination
to take the public facing campaign finance reporting website TRACER down. Briefly,

(17:22):
maybe that's a good decision, maybe it's a bad decision,
but it's not down for maintenance. Why does a reporter
in this case, it was John Frank, who does some
great work.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
Why in the world is John Frank have to.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Have to do a special report and announce this instead
of simply telling us the truth. I find this really troubling.
It's the little lies that grow into big lies. Here
at John Caldera six point thirty k.

Speaker 8 (17:59):
How you're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
Brian is working hard to find pillow songs.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Not bad. I gotta give you. I gotta give you
some credit. That one was from Easy Lift. That was
from Kelly right there. Oh, good work, Kelly. Yeah, and
she pulled that one. Pillows all right?

Speaker 2 (18:25):
While I truly enjoy the the battle of the sexes,
have you noticed that it is women, not men who
have like fifty eight pillows on their bed that you
want to go to bed. They got to take out
like fifty eight pillows, put them someplace else, and then

(18:45):
go to bed, and then in the morning they make
their bed and put the fifty.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Eight pillows back up.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Whoa why It's like when you go to a smancy,
fancy restaurant and they put a play down and then.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Before your food comes they take the plate away.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
What what?

Speaker 3 (19:04):
What? Why? Why?

Speaker 4 (19:06):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (19:06):
John?

Speaker 8 (19:06):
Have you ever been to.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
The W in New York?

Speaker 3 (19:09):
No, but I have been to the W in other places.

Speaker 9 (19:12):
So the W in New York, I don't know if
they have this at all. W's maybe they do, But.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
The W it's a upscale Marriyop Yeah hotel.

Speaker 9 (19:21):
Yeah, it's a Maria Bonvoy. Anyway, they actually have a
pillow menu that is on your bed when you check in,
and then you call down to housekeeping and you order
whichever pillow you want, and there's like twenty to choose
from everything from goose down to hearts. Yes, like at

(19:43):
least twenty pellows.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Do they have things like Yes, I'd like you to
come and.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
Put fifty eight stuffed animals on my bed and then
I can take them off when I want to go
to sleep.

Speaker 9 (19:56):
That I don't know, but I have heard that if
you do go on cruises, they kind of make the
towels into animals.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
Oh yeah, I've never been on a curs I can,
I can, yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
But at least it's a towel. Well, yeah, How many
pillows do you have on your bed? Decorative or just
Oh no, no I.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Didn't, there's no qualification. How many pillows are on your
bed right now?

Speaker 3 (20:26):
Ten?

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Ten pillows? How many heads do you have on your body?
Just one?

Speaker 3 (20:37):
One?

Speaker 2 (20:38):
So you have nine extra pillows. What are their functions?

Speaker 9 (20:43):
Well, like I said, they're decorative and women do you have?

Speaker 2 (20:49):
This is my whole There is no purpose for the pillows.
You are just part of Big Pillow. No, yes, yes,
you and Mike Lindell are part of the whole big industry.
You're big pillow. Riven us off saying we need to
have these decorative pillows. You have one head, you get
one pillow.

Speaker 9 (21:09):
Well, not necessarily altogether true, because my dog sleeps with
me and she thinks she's a person, so she actually
sleeps on one of the pillows.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
Great, there's eight eight more pillows.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
You have eight pillows, and I ask for all men
who finally you know, get invited into a lady's bedroom hello,
and they're very excited about that. But before they can
get down to business, they got to find the bed
under all the pillows. And then the woman's like, no, no, no,

(21:45):
that one goes there, and this one goes over.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
Here, and that one goes over there. It is very true.

Speaker 9 (21:50):
My husband will just basically do a broad arm across
and it just drives me crazy because that's right, is
the right move, because I have to basically put it
back right after anything we do fooling around, I have
to basically put it back perfectly. Why because it's a thing,

(22:11):
it's a thing with women.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
As a wonderful girl answer, it's no, it takes up space.
Your husband should throw them out the window in hopes
that rain destroys them so you never have to deal
with it again.

Speaker 10 (22:25):
I had a perfect woman answer though, as a man
for you, John, and that is you're asking.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
Why you should know, why you should know? Why?

Speaker 2 (22:33):
Check out what you don't know? Why I'm upset. I'm
certainly not going to tell you.

Speaker 9 (22:39):
Is it like when you guys yell at us for
misloading the dishwasher correctly?

Speaker 2 (22:46):
There is a correct way in Yeah, we don't. You
didn't misload it. You messed it up. You ruined it.
It's not like you just you know, made a slight No,
you ruined the dishes, ruined and I got to go
over and save your ass because you don't know how

(23:06):
to load the dishwasher.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Completely.

Speaker 9 (23:08):
So true, It is so true. It drives my husband
absolutely crazy.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Actually, I've read a statistic that loading the dishwasher causes
the most arguments in marriages.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yeah, I'm trying to change that to, you know, lack
of sexual intercourse. But apparently nobody cares anymore. By the
time you get all the pillows off the bed, you're
just too tired.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
Anyway, I think we've I think we've done this one enough. Yeah,
moving on, We solved it. Yeah, we solved it. Let's
head out to Little ten three or three seven, one, three, eight,
two five five. Hey, Dawn, welcome. You're with John KELDERA.

Speaker 7 (23:49):
All right, thank you for having me. First time I've
ever talked to you.

Speaker 11 (23:53):
So uh.

Speaker 7 (23:55):
Anyway, politicians lie, they can, and nobody calls them out
on it. I mean the general PI.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
Who are you referring to in particular?

Speaker 7 (24:09):
Anybody? Also, I think all politicians like, I think they
all lie to a point, and the media is all
there with them. They all pretty much lie. It doesn't
matter which channel you mutch. They're all lying and as
long as we keep watching them, they'll keep lying. As
far as the weekend, who won the weekend? I think

(24:32):
it was the veterans. The veterans won the weekend. And
the reason why I say that is because you basically
prove my point with the fact that nobody trusts the media.
So if nobody trusts the media, it doesn't matter what
is on their channel. We don't care. It doesn't matter

(24:56):
what they say, it doesn't matter what they're talking about.
We know they're lying, and it doesn't matter how much
coverage one side got over the parade or not, because
nobody cares. And the fact if you if you basted
it on the fact that there was more coverage of

(25:21):
anti Trump than for Trump on the parade, that's just
the way it is anyway on any subject. So there's
no there's no difference on this subject than any other subject.
There are much more liberal media outlets than conservative outlets.

(25:43):
So yeah, they're going to get some more.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Point point well taken, point well taken. It gets frustrating.
It gets frustrating when I want and listen to the
media and they are not observers.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
They are not there to tell you what happened. They
are there to form a narrative. Their their job. Yeah,
their job.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Is to push a political agenda, which is one of
the reasons I am so excited about Perhaps maybe I
don't think it'll actually happen ending the massive subsidy that
goes to government run media, namely CPR, NPR and PBS,
that these are these are outlets of the government and

(26:29):
we shouldn't fund them, and so I'm I'm looking I'm
looking forward to that. I do wonder though narratives count.
When something is going on in politics, it's held up
to a cultural mirror and sometimes it gets overplayed.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
But sometimes what.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
The media does is feed a story. And the story
they want to feed is this one that our democracy,
our republic is somehow in danger, that we're in a
constitutional crisis. But nothing has changed really since Obama and

(27:15):
since Biden. You still have presidents that overreach and require
the courts to pull them back, who try to do
things through executive action that they simply do not have
the authority.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
For Trump is no different.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
He's just much more flambuoyant about it. Hey, thanks for
the call, don I appreciate it. The number here's three
oh three seven to one, three eight, two five five.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
How many pillows do you have on your bed?

Speaker 2 (27:44):
And yes, Kelly, stuffed animals are just pillows with limbs,
so any stuffed animals also fall into the into the
pillow category.

Speaker 9 (27:56):
I do not have any stuffed animals on the bed,
but my does.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
And how many does she have right now?

Speaker 9 (28:06):
Well, she's obviously in California, but she took.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
So can you can round it to the nearest fifty?

Speaker 9 (28:15):
She took six to college.

Speaker 12 (28:23):
In the in the in the army of the inventory
of things that men will never understand about women, it's
the excessive amount of pillows and stuffed animals.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
We will never understand this one. It's it's a mystery.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
If you have an explanation, please, ladies help me out.
Three o three seven one three eight two five five.
You made Mike Lindell a millionaire because you love pillows.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
I'm John Calderrek. Keep it right here. You're on six
thirty kW.

Speaker 8 (28:58):
And now back to the Dan Kampala Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
All that has a serious Doris Day vibe.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
Would I be right?

Speaker 8 (29:07):
You would be exactly right?

Speaker 3 (29:09):
That is Doris Day.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
There are guys who are really were really hot for
Doris Day. I never understood that one. Oh I don't
know about that.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
John Beauty. Yeah no, no, she's just too peppy and wholesome. No, no, no.

Speaker 10 (29:24):
She was mentioned in the Beatles song which I know
you know, gosh, this Beetles song dig It from Let.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
It Be, dig It dig It all right?

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Three or three seven, one, three, eight, two five five.
I'm John Caldera. Let's grab a couple of these calls. David, welcome,
They're on six thirty K.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
How David, How you doing?

Speaker 13 (29:50):
Guys?

Speaker 3 (29:50):
There we are, We're doing great, just fine.

Speaker 13 (29:54):
You know, I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to
be on the side of the pillows. Because you've been
married or even have a long time relationship with a
nice lady.

Speaker 6 (30:03):
You make them happy, you're happy.

Speaker 13 (30:06):
So if mama wants twenty seven pillows or eight pillows,
I'm all for it.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
You know, you seem to understand I'm I'm an angry,
divorced old man.

Speaker 13 (30:17):
That's why all you got, see you let pillows divorce you.

Speaker 6 (30:20):
Let pillows cause you to be divorced. That's not good.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
So this is this is why I'm unlucky in love
is because when I date a woman, I go, why
do you have so many pillows? Instead of saying, I'll
bet I love your pillows.

Speaker 13 (30:35):
You want if you went to a giant shopping center
and put like seven eight pillows in your cart, the
women are going to be running their car in New York.
So they're going to go as a kid too. I
feel it.

Speaker 6 (30:47):
I feel it.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Oh, now I understand why I am so sad and lonely.
I have been open and transparent about my questioning of
women in pillows.

Speaker 6 (31:01):
Well, let me know how the worst, because if it
works for you, you do the same.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
Finally I found love. I accepted pillows.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Oh that's brilliant, Absolutely brilliant. Let's go up to Boulder.
Say hello to Mary. Mary, welcome. You're with John Caldera.

Speaker 11 (31:22):
Thank you. So, John, have you ever been told you're
as cool as the cool side of a pillow?

Speaker 3 (31:29):
No?

Speaker 2 (31:29):
I have been hit with pillows, and I've woken up
to women trying to hold a pillow over my face
until I die.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
But I've never been told that.

Speaker 11 (31:38):
So women you know, hormones things like that. You tend
to get hot and you're turning that pillow over because
you just want the cooler side against your nets. So
pillows have a person.

Speaker 3 (31:49):
God, you chicks are a lot of work. There's a
cool side of that. I didn't even know there was
a cool side of the pillow.

Speaker 11 (31:56):
Oh, come on, you're missing out. So temperature firmness of
the pillow, because you know, different pillows different materials, summer soft,
summer firm. Anyway, And now there are those long, you know,
body pillows, so that when you are flailing in the
middle of the night and you want to toss your
leg over something, you don't want to toss it over

(32:16):
your spouse. They're not going to like that. Usually it
wakes them up and they get irate.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
No, aren't they supposed to Aren't they supposed to cuddle
up and feel feel wonderful about that?

Speaker 11 (32:30):
Not if they're an r em sleep No, no, no, no,
it doesn't work that way. My education there.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
All right.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
So I will admit this to you, Mary, I'm not
going to tell anybody else. As I've gotten older, I
started to use more pillows. I put one under my
under my head and then I put one between my legs,
and sometimes I throw my arm over a pillow, thinking

(33:04):
it's a person I might love, and and yeah, so
but you.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
Know that's three, that's three pillows.

Speaker 11 (33:12):
That's just three king size bed and those are probably
king sized pillows.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
No, no, no, I don't have.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
A king sized bed because I'm sad and lonely. I
just have a regular.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
I have a cot. I only sleep on.

Speaker 11 (33:24):
A cot now, so that's easier to move for sure.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
All right, so how many pillows do you have on
your bed?

Speaker 11 (33:33):
They come and go, but I would say average of ten.
But you know then too. You know, my husband likes
to watch TV in bed, so he's got to have
plenty to prop up his back. So it's not just me.

Speaker 3 (33:46):
Isn't that your job?

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Aren't you supposed to be behind him cuddling him, propping
up his back when he watches football?

Speaker 11 (33:52):
Has he been talking to you?

Speaker 5 (33:53):
No?

Speaker 11 (33:53):
No, no, that's way too hot, too much temperature, just no. Yeah,
he has two big feather beds, and I am with
a sheet and the fan.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Of So either you're hot or you're cold, or you're cold.
Or you're hot or you're hot or you're cold.

Speaker 11 (34:10):
Lots of buttons, lots of buttons.

Speaker 3 (34:12):
Yes, lots of buttons.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
All right again, what I don't know about women could
feel the warehouse.

Speaker 3 (34:19):
I'm John Calderic. Keep it right here. You're on six
point thirty K.
