Speaker 2 (00:15):
Good a beautiful night to do that.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Imagine this nice Halloween in Colorado. Glad you're here at
three O three seven one three eight two five five
text d An five seven seven three nine spanning the
globe of interesting stuff this afternoon, from the frivolous to
the life and death. So chime in whenever text, which
is what most people prefer. DN five seven seventh thry nine.

(00:37):
I'll get back to the phone lines in a second.
It take too long to recap the first hour, but
worth it if you want to catch it on the podcast, Dan,
I wonder if we could use some ballroom money to
feed hungry Americans as we talk about the latest with
you know, the Democrats denying these food stamps to people
starting tomorrow, could we use ballroom money to feed hungry

(01:00):
American's text or thank you for that extremely important and
useful text.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Here's the point.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
The entire cost of the new ballroom for the White House,
which it desperately needs. And it's a brilliant move by Trump.
I'm glad he's doing it. America will be glad he
did it. The entire cost, everybody knows it's private money.
That aside, if all of that money went to the
food stamp program, how many weeks would it fund? All

(01:30):
the money for the ballroom that will last for at
least one hundred years at the White House? Now one day,
one day, maybe an hour or two on the second day,
but one day. That's what we're talking about. That's what
Democrat policies have done to America. This explosion in the

(01:53):
number of people on food stamps, and that is a
fail state. That is what the Democrats have created nationally.
What is that thirteen fourteen percent of people on food stamps.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
The only way you.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Can get that in a country like the United States
of America is with leftist policies that undermine the ability
of so many people to reach their full potential. And
the way the left does that primarily. There are others
that they do, but the way primarily the left undermines
people is through education, locking people into non competitive government

(02:34):
run schools rather than supporting true equality and education, or
as close as it to it as we can come
through true school choice.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
So it's it's Democrat policies that create this bizarre state
where about thirteen fourteen percent of Americans need food stamps
and that leads to about three hundred million a day,
a little bit less than that, So thank.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
You, Texter.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah, that, of course private money. Dan, my twenty year
old grandson makes the costumes for his two nine and
twelve year old cousins himself, takes him around. His mom
and dad also dress up and hang out. I would
never deprive them of all this time together. They have
so much fun, a lot of cool Halloween traditions everywhere
in America, and of course Friday Night be prepared.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
You're gonna have a lot more trick or treats. Most places.
Rusty in Denver. You're on the Dame Caplis, she'll welcome.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Hey, Dan, thanks for taking my call. One thing I
wanted to talk about, but I'd like to say first
that you kind of hit on a very key phrase.
The whole country, Democrats included, for the most part, will
be very happy about virtually everything that Trump has done.
Maybe not while he's in the middle of doing it.

(03:49):
But after it's done and he's out of Elpus, it
will be very hard to say that, you know, his
moves on crime and his moves on legal immigration and
everything else is not a good thing for the country.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
May I respectfully disagree, Rusty, okay, and I love your positivity.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
I think that's so important.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
I think that objectively, there's no question that the accomplishments
and long lasting contributions of Trump go beyond what's being
discussed now, and probably beyond what most of us even
realize at the moment. But Democrats will never admit it.
Trump could cure every major disease in America, start with

(04:32):
cancer aslutely, and they would never acknowledge it.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
The other thing is, Rusty, I think.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Like every great historical figure, because of what Trump is doing,
there will be many who hate him forever. Some will
hate him one hundred years from now because what he's doing.
And if the GOP carries this legacy for the right
way is it spells the death of the hard left
in America as the kind of major political force. As

(04:59):
you know, Rusty, you paid tension these things that the
hardest core left in America was on the cusp of
taking full control of this nation until Donald Trump and
his voters stopped them. So of course they're going to
hate him forever because they were this close. They were
this close to too controlling the greatest nation in the
history of the world, the most powerful, and Trump and

(05:20):
his voters denied them.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
It's Friday afternoon, and I wanted to give you a softball.
Thank you, appreciate it anyway, goodnight. What I really called
about was the turning point raw yep, yep, and I
was able to see it probably the last half. I
don't know of Erica Kirk's talk, and she's obviously she's
very impressive and sincere and all of that. Jd Van

(05:44):
blew me away. And my wife, who's not a Trump
fan at all too.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
I mean, tell me about that.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
What she says, well, it takes away a lot of
anxiety for me about gee, what what if something happens
to Trump? But because JD. Vance is just absolutely amazing,
I wish they could do an event like that monthly
with JD Vance, you know, sort of taking the place
of Charlie Kirk, because each knocks it out of the
park on every question, but in a very a very

(06:15):
genteel way. And obviously he has his convictions, but boy
was he impressive.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
A men, do that, rust You appreciate the call. You're
talking about old miss the other.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
Night, right, Yeah, we'll miss yeah. And my wife, My
wife was watched it, and she has concerns about, you know,
blending government with religion and all that sort of thing.
But the way, the way in which he explained those
things just it really eased her mind a lot about JD.

(06:45):
Vance and the Republicans and everything. I mean, he was,
he was just he just knocked it out of the part.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
What can I say?

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, no, I agree with you completely, and I think
it was a very important night, very important night for him.
But the thing I suggested to anybody who's can concerned
about the blend of you know, religion and government is
we don't have our government without religion. We don't have
our country without religion. Our country has never founded. And
I know you know all of this, Rusty, It's it's

(07:13):
a little bit harder, I know, when one's trying to
talk politics to their spouse. I've I've heard that's the case. Anyway,
So hey, appreciate your.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
Cook you guys undred percent on the same page, trying.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
To think we are when it comes to kids, we
are when it comes to everything in life other than politics.
What percent, what percent of the time are we on
the same page?

Speaker 3 (07:42):
I would say fifty?

Speaker 4 (07:48):
How about you, guys, I would say fifty. And I
don't think that's that good. I'd like it to be more. Yeah, honestly,
I'm just being real straightforward.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
But we had a conversation the other night about evil
and she doesn't isn't real definite on the on the
idea that there is actually evil out there, because it's
sort of making excuse for people. They're they're they're a
product of the context in which they were born, or

(08:19):
mental illness or whatever. And you know, evil as a
religious concept, I guess a spiritual concept. You know, we
see it every day. We see every single day. And
I'm you know, I'm going to work with her on that.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Well, we'll get her to report back to us. Have
her call the show with you next time. Okay, Okay,
thanks us. DE appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
See, I don't have that challenge when it comes to
talking to my wife about politics. She has an incredibly
strong sense of justice and right and wrong, and she
definitely sees evil for what it is, and and she's
been fighting it for a long time in very tangible way.
She goes out and take on.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Evil and does the hard work and lends their name
and effort to things.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
So that's so very admirable. What we tend to disagree
on on occasion is is the means by which to
fight evil. And you know which, which party, which policies,
which elected officials, But there's no question about we share
a one hundred percent common.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
View of good and evil. Three O three someone three
eight two.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Five five the number text d an five seven seven
three nine, as I promise, kind of an eclectic Friday afternoon.
But there's a lot going on in the world, a
lot of ground to cover. Hey, what do you think
about President Trump coming out and saying he wants the
court to give him guidance that he can pull other
moneies to fund food stamps now that the Democrats so

(09:48):
cruelly and.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
It is cruel, it's wicked the way.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
That Democrats are willing to now let all these kids
go hungry just so they can try to pressure the
Republicans into giving them something that they and win at
the ballot box and something they shouldn't get.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
You're on the Dan Caplis Show.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast Ghostbusters.
Did you see this one in the theater when it
came out in eighty four?

Speaker 3 (10:18):
Must have?

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah, they must have been instant classic, in stant classic
three or three seOne three eight two five five text
d A N five seven seven three nine. Charlemagne is
a very popular national African American radio talk show hosts.
Not a big fan these days of Hakeem Jeffries.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Let's try it one more time with energy.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
These Republicans, they are not the party of law and order.
They're the party of lawlessness and disorder in all of
the ways, including the ongoing crime scene at sixteen hundred
Pennsylvania Avenue.

Speaker 6 (10:55):
Come on, people are angry, So why is Hakim Jeffery
talking like he's sucky?

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Che's Obama? What are we doing?

Speaker 1 (11:04):
And that's that's from the left. Three or three seOne
three two five five five seven seven three nine. Chronacopia
of stuff swirling around today a Texter Dan just thought
of a great idea.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Let's have your wife Amy take over the morning show.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
She's articulating and seems like she'd be a refreshing change
thank you text.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
She is both of those things and more.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
I think that would be probably her literal idea of
hell on Earth is hosting a radio talk show.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
She she was approached, we were approached.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
To do a show together by one of the major
satellite networks, can't remember which one, back in their heyday,
And she wouldn't even take the call. She just a
very private person, which I know is you know, a
little odd given she was such a successful main news anchor,
but very private person at heart. Yeah, and she would

(11:57):
not enjoy that one little bit. She'd be great at
so many great ideas. We disagree on lots of things,
but very articulate, thoughtful, knowledgeable, deep sinker, extraordinarily well read.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
She'd be great at it.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Like so many people now, at a different spot on
the spectrum, not meaning the radio spectrum. Shannon Scott, Ryan,
don't you agree, Shannon Scott, legendary producer interesting would be
the star talk show host him and saying that for
decades you move him to the other side of the glass.
I don't care whether it's this soon to be open
six to ten a slot on six thirty kitch w

(12:33):
and Denver. Since Michael Brown, who does a tremendous show,
he is moving over to KOA. Anytime sawt Shannon Scott
would not get out of the park.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
He would shine.

Speaker 6 (12:42):
And I'm with you on the fact that he has
so much that's like buried treasure within him of anecdotes,
things that he knows, stories that he can tell, observations
that he's made. He's got a wickedly twisted sense of humor.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
It'd be very dark, off color.

Speaker 6 (12:59):
It would catch people, I surprise, perfect elements for talk
radio well.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
And add one secret sauce ingredient which would take them
right to the top instantly.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
No filter, That's what I mean. Yeah, So if you can.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Get Shannon Scott to do that morning time slock. And
I only say that because my friend Ryan is suggesting
that he is not a morning person and.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
You may well not be willing to do more. Now,
I am trying to take.

Speaker 6 (13:26):
Myself out of the equation and really objectively analyze this.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
Well, I'll put it this way.

Speaker 6 (13:33):
If this is me thinking out loud for our audience's benefit,
you keep Martinez right where they are in that midday
portion ten eight to two. You got me and then
you And that's continuity, and that's a big thing in
our business. People know what they like, and they like
what they know, and they get what they expect. And
in the mornings that that's the only variable element that
we switch out whoever that is. And Brown goes over

(13:55):
to KOA. That's the big story in case you're just
tuning in and just hearing that. But he's going to
be on nine AM to new over there on KOA
or sister station eight fifty and ninety four one FM.
Then we just have the one new presence host for
that six A to ten A slot. Now you've got
continuity of the wheel going from six A to six p,
all local throughout the day. And we're the only AM

(14:16):
talker in Denver outside of KOA that does that, and
the only one trying to think that other point doesn't
Isn't Landing.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, but continuity is good in the rest circumstance, but
not always.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
So could go either way here, And.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
I just think that if you ended up wanting that
morning slot, I have to believe it would be yours.
But when you say you're trying to take yourself out
of the equation, that's curious to me. Because it seems
to me, in any job, in any aspect of life,
that that would be a mistake because you're always going
to do your best when you're happiest.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
And not to get cosmic, but it's fascinating to because
I'm reading this book right now by Father Mike Schmidtz,
you know, who is this incredibly popular Catholic.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
Priest, podcaster and much more. In fact, he's going to
be in town.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
We're going to that fundraising dinner for Seeds of Hope
a week from next Friday. But his whole point really
goes to your point when you're saying that you're trying
to take yourself out of it when you're making that
decision whether to do the morning show, Because his whole

(15:31):
point is where we go wrong in our decision making,
is making it about us and what's going to bring
me the most happiness and this and that, rather than
making it about what does God want me to do?
So that's his whole point is, now that may be

(15:52):
a bit that may not be exactly what you are
suggesting there and taking yourself out of it.

Speaker 6 (15:58):
I try to view it as a listener, would is
my part in the ecosystem. So if I had that
portion from two to four and it sets up well,
and it sets the table for your show, and I'm
part of like a functioning machine that's well oiled and
running on time, and I think there's something to be
said for that and knowing being having that step back

(16:19):
self awareness to go, okay, yeah that's me, But really,
what does a listener see perceive here and how does
that go over with the listener.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
That's an important component of.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
It to me. Yeah, it might be overthinking in a bit.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
And don't get me wrong, selfishly, I would love to
have your selfishly, that's in my best interest. What any
radio station's looking at right in a morning slot, that
morning drive slot is kicking the day off right and
getting the audience in and getting the audience into the
station and hoping they stay around for the other shows. Obviously,

(16:51):
you could serve a tremendous purpose there.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
Appreciate them.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Three O three seven one three eight two five five
the number A lot of text on Halloween, Dan, My
my parents lived on Bluebell near Broadway and Boulder, close
enough to campus where I grew up. Every Halloween, they
made Ryan, this is the first Texter call in this
I can't believe I've forgot it.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
They made popcorn balls. Dad was a dentist.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
Mom loved older kids coming by, even college kids, for
popcorn balls. She said that at least for the moment,
she knew where they were at her house. I forgot
all about popcorn balls. Do you like popcorn balls?

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Heck you?

Speaker 1 (17:32):
And remember when people used to pop them and then
they'd wrap them up. Obviously wrap them up in some
kind of saran wrap or something so they're not just
getting dirty in the bag of stuff. But popcorn balls
threebout three, seve one, three eight, two, five, five, text
d an five, seven, seventh through nine. Better get extra
candy Friday night. Gonna have two to three ext the treats.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
You're listening to the Dan Kaplish Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
On Halloween lines absolutely in fuego, but of course we
will start with the great Colonel kirk Dale from Parker
the Colonel.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
How you doing.

Speaker 7 (18:11):
Well? I'm doing well. I'm calling too. He is a
two times three days, but it's been a long time. Otherwise,
love to you every day, great Halloween. I'll be very quick.
I just want to comment on President bus getting involved
in the discussion on God, Jerry, I think that he's

(18:33):
like to do that, and to do it right up front.
You know, we sort of have a history of looking
the other way. If you look back to Well Africa,
you had Mabuto that was there thirty two years and
the Rectavic for all that period of time until he
finally passed away. He had the apartheid in South Africa,

(18:57):
which is slightly different for a situation, but nevertheless, human
abuse again, and certainly when you look at the Holocaust,
hitler U was able to run at free will for

(19:18):
so long because LBG excuse me, FDR had to sort
of stand back, or he did stand back, did not
get involved until the public. Millions of Jews have been
killed before we ever really got involved in that. Yet

(19:41):
LBJ jump right into Vietnam and there was no particular reason,
some human abuse, that sort of thing that I've ever
seen identified that prompted that. So I'm glad to see
President Trump getting onto Robert there's something too, And Senator Cruise,

(20:03):
I've made some great points about that promoting editor particularly
visible situation.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Well, thank you, colonel, sure appreciate the calling. Your perspective
as always a truly great American Colonel kirk Dale.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
Let's go to Terry from North Glenn. You're on the
Dan Kaplis show.

Speaker 8 (20:21):
Welcome, Hi, Dan, Hi Ryan. I enjoy both your shows.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
Thank you.

Speaker 8 (20:26):
I'd like to recommend maybe somebody already has but I
haven't heard it. I'd like to recommend Deborah Flora.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
She's great.

Speaker 8 (20:37):
She had a Sunday show on seventen and I don't
think I ever missed it.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
She it was so good.

Speaker 8 (20:46):
She is so knowledgeable and entertaining. She's just great.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
Yeah, but is she better than us?

Speaker 1 (20:57):
It's okay eight defamation if it's true.

Speaker 8 (21:02):
I really enjoyed her show.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
Okay, I'll take that as a yes. Thank you, Terry. No,
I agree with you. She is fantastic. Thank you. That's
Terry from North Glenn. Text or Dan?

Speaker 1 (21:12):
Are they doing open auditions for that time slot on KHW?
I would be a perfect fit for it, says the texter.
I'll tell you what you've got ingredient number one, which
is confidence. So are they going to do some open auditions?

Speaker 3 (21:26):
Ryan? I think they should personally between now.

Speaker 6 (21:29):
So the move date for Michael Brown over to KOA
is November tenth, so that's coming up. Here in a
couple of weeks, and what is that. That's going to
be a Monday. So yeah, all next week they're going
to be different people filling in, and I think I
will be filling in for one of them. I think
I don't know how many others are going to be

(21:49):
able to come in and do that, but you'll be
hearing a variety of those names. And then what I've
been told full disclosure, and I don't think I'm telling
anything out of school.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
With Dave Tepper, our program director, who will.

Speaker 6 (21:58):
Be making that decision. The decision will be made by
say when we come back from the holiday break, meaning
at the end of the year, that first Monday after
New Year's Day, the new show will be in place.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
Whoever the host. I would just love to see.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
I just love to see the opportunity for some open
auditions and I think it would be tremendous radio.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
It's also American.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
It's like Rocky right, Hey, give the Italian Stallion a shot?

Speaker 3 (22:22):
That worked out? Okay.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
The other thing is, think about American Idol. We would
have never heard of Carrie Underwood, right if not for
American Idol. There is so much talent out there and
don't you think it would be a fantastic day or
two of shows if you just had all these people
who each got fifteen minutes. They're literal fifteen minutes, right,

(22:47):
that would be awesome. And again, in fact, I'll turn
over this show. Oh I'll turn over this show a
little bit of a selfish motive because I'm taking my
first vacation of.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
The week of the year next week.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
The year, and I know there are a lot of well,
any vacation, but I know there are a lot of
people in the audience that still saying, no tears for you,
my friend.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
I have an edivocation in years.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
I respect that I'm lucky to get any vacation, but
this will be my first vacation of the year.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
But I'll still be doing the show almost differently.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, okay, so notice the almost, But I would turn
over a day or two of those shows. In fact,
I'm going to text our boss after the show today,
say take two days of my shows next week and
let fifteen minutes apiece open auditions. It'd be some of
the greatest radio we've heard. It would be interesting, either
because it's some of the worst radio we've heard, or

(23:37):
some of the best because there's so much talent.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Out there that never gets a shot.

Speaker 6 (23:41):
Well, I won't give out Dave Tepper's cell phone number,
but I will give his email address. So for this
text with confidence, it once a shot in Italian stallion style.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
To your point.

Speaker 6 (23:51):
You can email the program director for both stations KOA
and k HOW. That's David Tepper at David Tepper t
epp e ertmedia dot com for whatever nomination you have,
if it's yourself and you.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Want a chance at it, he will be listening.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Well, and now we've got two time slots to fill,
so we've got two to four each afternoon Monday.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
Wait a minute, no, no, no, you think Dave's going to
be happy with that?

Speaker 6 (24:15):
He has sat in this very chair helping me with
a broadcast where we gave out his email address, wonderful
email dress, not his cell phone number.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Yeah, I wouldn't do that.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
And Dave really is one of the coolest guys around.
He solid just one of the best guys around. But
I'm just telling you right now, that would be great radio.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
I am a huge fan of yours.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
I'm a huge fan of two or three other talk
show hosts, and I like a bunch of others. But
I would rather listen to a couple of shows of
open auditions than any talk show host I know, even
those I admire most, because it'd be so different and
unique and interesting.

Speaker 6 (24:52):
I think there are a lot of people that probably
not only have the confidence, but the gumps and the presentation.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
To do it.

Speaker 6 (24:57):
But the one thing I would advise for somebody that's
getting into this industry that you might not know going
in is it's a lot harder than it sounds and looks.
And I just mean from a structural standpoint, like the
idea of a hard break going out to commercial and
you've got to get out and you got to know
where those parameters are, work within those.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
That part of it alone, I think is the biggest challenge.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
But a trained seal can do that.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
If somebody has yes, yes, or if somebody has the magic.
The magic, that's what it's all about. Think about how
many great talk show hosts have started as callers. I
remember that from Littleton aka Tom and Nowgin Reggie and
I can't remember Reggie's last name, God rest his soul.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
He was a caller, became a tremendous talk show host.

Speaker 6 (25:44):
Well in your hometown of Chicago. There's one you might
know this name, Mike Nort, Mike North. He got a
real Chicago accent that.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
It does it end with no Chicago name ends with
the fourth letter it.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Well, that's a great point. It might be an on
air name.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
It would have been if he is he a Chicagoans.

Speaker 6 (26:02):
It's literally North, but the way he says it, and
he is a Chicagoan and he's kind of like one
of those guys on the old sketch the Bears, it.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Would have been North Strawski. It would have been trust
me to trust still around. But that's what we need
to do. I am going to text Dave tonight, okay,
give up my show for two days next week has
nothing to do nothing with meee my first vacation of
the year.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
Can you tell us where you're going?

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Well, everybody's crying for me. Do you realize I did
not have one day off this summer as we got trial,
not one day.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
Pretty sad Amy had to listen to this the other night.
I figured it out the other day. I did the math.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
All summer had less than nine hours total outdoors and
that includes walking to the car.

Speaker 6 (26:46):
Well, you mentioned Halloween on a Friday this year. The
fourth of July Independence Day was on a Friday this year.
You didn't give yourself that one.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Off, bro, No, not a single day in America. I
am not complaining. It was a privilege, It was an
honor to get to prepare for that trial.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
But I did not. But since this show is not
all about me, where are you going to have.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
A great idea you're going? I want to know where
you're going. I don't even know what you're doing.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Oh you know, we you know, my mom and dad
settled down outside Fort Myers when we got in Physima
and they're buried down there and we love it.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
You love it. So yeah, we got Yeah, we're just
gonna head down there. Good time of year to go
down there too.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
The weather's called off a little ye first year without
a hurricane in how many years?

Speaker 3 (27:28):
And that's okay too.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
But if you have any suggestions, because a big job
like this morning drive on a station like KHW in Denver,
where this show is, we're honored to have it carried
there among others that doesn't come around very often. But
the great Michael Brown moving to Koa. So if you
have any suggestions, love.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
To have them here on the Dan Capla.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Show and now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
A lot of trigger treat tonight the Friday night. How
often does that come along? And a nice night?

Speaker 6 (28:05):
And not only that, you sent me the photo of
the upgraded Capitalist candy bars.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
They were big before, and you went like monster.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
Sized full size before, like enormous.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Size, I mean like literal four size Hershey Bars, reeses,
et cetera.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
And then Amy managed to find king size Hurshes. What
could good king.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Size Hershey's Dan Moore Irony fort Lewis claiming Turning Point
USA doesn't have diverse thoughts, so they vote against a
Turning Point USA chapter. That from our friend Alex Listener
as I started the show by saying, after the student
government down there turned down a Turning Point USA student organization,

(28:45):
trust me, they will. They will lose in court. They
will lose in court so fast it'll make your head spin.
They will lose so much, which is why if Turning
Point USA wants to at fort Lewis, they're going to
get a chapter, and the administration is going to make
sure they get a chapter.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
So hopefully Turning Point will decide to have one and
do their great work there. Dan Michael Brown is going home.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
I listened to the Manage fifty kway in the evenings
twenty nine to eleven, shortly after I relocated to Denver.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
The real Ralph Kawa.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Just has a fantastic tradition and history, and I spent
many many years there myself. In fact, I anchored their
Columbine coverage the Night of the Horror of Columbine and
as well they're nine to eleven coverage anchored that along
with the great Kathy Walker. Just a lot of fun
memories of Kaw and Michael has done great there and

(29:42):
he'll be a great fit there. And then again this Texter,
are they doing open auditions for that time slot on
khow Hey just call us right now to your audition
right now.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
But I'm I've drafted. During the break a text to.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
My boss suggests they use my show next week for
a couple of days of open auditions.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
What do you think you think? Fifteen minutes at a time.
I think that's the ideal.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
Get them out fifteen Well, it'll be fun for the people,
fun for the listener. Literal fifteen minutes of fame, and
I bet you find some great talent. That's how George
Brockler started YEP.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
With some kind of open audition thing. And here's what.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
I'll say too on my own behalf on this point.
We've had new.

Speaker 6 (30:25):
Hosts kind of cycle in and fill in for you,
and sometimes when they've been, you know, hosting for the
very first time, they're pretty nervous. And what I've been
able to pride myself in doing is working with that
said person so they feel as comfortable as possible.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah, but all of those people have been great talents
to begin with, right, So true, But as you say,
then they're kind of the mechanics of this thing with
which literally a trained seal can learn if you give
them the opportunities. So you're looking for that magic. You're
looking for the person who has the magic, like all
of the folks who are kind enough to fill in
on this show have. But I would love to hear

(31:02):
open trials. There's so much talent out there.

Speaker 3 (31:04):
Texter Dan.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
If you reject a job because it'll make you happy,
and you think that's selfish, maybe God has actually telling
you to take the job since he wants you to
have happiness. That the point being this goes to an
earlier conversation and Father Mike Schmidt SU's this enormously successful,
effective Catholic podcaster is going to be in Denver for

(31:26):
Seeds of Hope fundraiser a week from next Friday. His
whole point is that the mistake that we make in
making decisions is decisions are so often based on me
what's going to give me maximum fulfillment, and that the
decision needs to be based on what God wants me

(31:46):
to do. Because if you base the decision on what
God wants you to do, that's how you're really going
to find maximum fulfillment. So that's Father Mike's approach. I
think he's one hundred percent correct. Wish I did a
better job of that. I'm a work in progress, but
that's where that conversation comes from.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
Do you buy that, Ryan, Absolutely?

Speaker 6 (32:07):
I like to think in terms of we rather than
me when I'm part of a team. I played team
sports growing up, most notably baseball, and I want to win, man,
I want to be part of a winning team, and
whatever my role is on that team, that's what I
want to do well.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
And again Father Mike's belief, that's pretty easily proven because
I think one hundred percent of this audience would say
the same thing, whether they're Democrat, Republican and affiliated, atheist, believers, whatever,
one hundred percent of the audience would say that they
get more of a thrill out of giving than receiving,
as not some hallmark card or some memes.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
That's just the way we're built.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
I think.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Do you know anybody who would say the opposite.

Speaker 6 (32:46):
Not that would admit it, but I think there are
people that exist who are you know, malignant and narcissists.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Well, you're always going to get some twisted sister somewhere.
I'm just saying that across all these other different political.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
And min yady out of line. Yeah, and it's just automatic,
I think.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
So, It's just it's the way we are wired, which
is a a proof of God dang be a proof
of father Mike's point, which brings us back to Ryan's
earlier explanation as to why he probably would not do
the morning show right because you just think it's better
for the team.

Speaker 6 (33:22):
If that's trying to look at it, Yeah, you know,
in that crucible that we exist in.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
If that's a deep thought to leave you on today, Yeah, yeah,
and Halloween, we should end the show with some deep thoughts.
Why not, that's right. My deep thought for a.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Halloween night is we're not going to turn anybody away,
whether they have a costume or not, regardless of age.

Speaker 6 (33:42):
Give them a hard time if they're not dressed up though, yeah,
give them candy, but give them a hard time, like.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
Come on, unless they appear to be armed.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
But have a great weekend, Yeah you too, man.

Speaker 3 (33:53):
Oh, how lucky we.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
Are to have this nice Halloween in Colorado's so rare.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
Enjoy every minute of it. Look forward to joining you Monday.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Hopefully the boss will take us up on the suggestion
of open tryouts for that rare, precious morning time. SOT,
thanks for your time this week. Remember when the light
turns green, look both ways. You're on the dancap for
the show.
