Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and injury Lawyers.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
No, it's Mandy Connell and.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
On KOAM ninety one FM.

Speaker 4 (00:15):
Got the Nice through three by Connell.

Speaker 5 (00:24):
Sad thing. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to a Thursday edition of
the show. I'm your host for the next three hours.
Mandy Connell.

Speaker 6 (00:32):
And then someone I there's I can't see anyone in
Master control.

Speaker 5 (00:38):
Just kidding, because a Rod's wearing like a camo print.
What is on your shirt?

Speaker 3 (00:44):
That would be approximately thirty seven Spider Man.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Oh oh, spider Web.

Speaker 5 (00:50):
It looks like camo from here.

Speaker 6 (00:52):
Oh well, never mind, A Rod's right over there.

Speaker 5 (00:56):
It is a Spiderman's shirt.

Speaker 6 (00:58):
Anyway, A Rod has had a bit of a twenty
four hours because he made a bad joy.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
In longer than that, you made a.

Speaker 6 (01:04):
Bad choice engaging with the mass whole life, I am
no q. You made a bad choice engaging Twitter.

Speaker 5 (01:11):
What did you.

Speaker 6 (01:11):
Post on x that has created a kerfuffle all.

Speaker 5 (01:15):
Through the New England region? Well?

Speaker 6 (01:18):
Uh, offensive, offensive Bronco fan, what did you do?

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Well, I'll read it verbatim and see if you understand
what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Because so many have not.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Okay, call me crazy crazy even without bo Nix, I
actually think the Broncos have a better chance to beat
the Patriots with Jared's Didham than they did.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Against the Bills.

Speaker 5 (01:38):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Not only do I think Stidy's about to go ball out,
but I think Drake May is about to get a
big old welcome to the NFL moment in terms of
facing this defense in his first career playoff game on
the road.

Speaker 5 (01:48):
I don't think you're wrong.

Speaker 6 (01:50):
I don't think you're wrong, but apparently everyone in Massachusetts does.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
We are at three and nineteen responses so far, ninety
nine point seven percent of them from New Englander. And
I lived a year plus in Connecticut. I'm familiar with
New England sports page.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
I've got in trouble in the past over generalizing, yep,
But I will say, for the most part, most of
them are of a special breed, a rod.

Speaker 6 (02:17):
Stereotypes exist for a reason, and we don't call the
massholes with an M massholes for no reason. Okay, Chuck
used to work for the the Minnesota Twins minor league
franchise in Fort Myers, and during spring training, all of
the minor league team members, not that players but the
people who work for the club would work for the organizations,

(02:42):
you know, the Twins during spring training, and one of
Chuck's jobs was to bark to sell programs, and he
in this other guy whose name is Bobby. Bobby looked
like if you put Chuck in a shrink cray machine.

Speaker 5 (02:55):
That is what Bobby looked like. He was Chuck's mini me.
It was really kind of weird and creepy. But there
there's two of them. One was giant, one was not.

Speaker 6 (03:02):
And he said the worst fans in the world were
the Red Sox fans, who also have spring training in
Fort Myers. He's like, I would take a Yankees fan,
I would take any kind of fan over a Red
Sox fan. But it's all New England fans.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Let me tell you this.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
I rarely am of the Ben Albright approach where I
engage with every single one of them. This is one
of those rare times I have been taking the digital
whack to the forehead of three hundred plus New England
sports fans. I told you off air, I rarely will
root for a team so much because of the other

(03:36):
fan base.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
This is one of them to lose so bad.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
This is one of those times, Jarrett Stidham, you have
the opportunity, good sir, with all of the memes and
the profile picture changes to be my hero.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
Can we just talk about for a minute, how cute
Jarrett Sidham is.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
He's a good looking dude.

Speaker 5 (03:53):
I saw his pressor.

Speaker 6 (03:54):
I put the pressor on the blog today because it's
just really really good. I mean, this guy is he
is sad for Boos one of it. Bo is his
best friend and he's sad for bo but he recognizes
the opportunity that he has and he expressed gratitude so
much to the fans and said, Wow, the way you
guys have you know, just kind of gotten behind me

(04:14):
is just wondering.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
I mean, just seems like a nice guy.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Did you hear him respond to and are you aware
of the trend on social media?

Speaker 1 (04:20):
No?

Speaker 5 (04:20):
What is the trend on social mamma?

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Every single Broncos fan is changing their profile picture to
an altered image of Jared Stidham. In the image of
there was a press conference years ago with lebron James
with sunglasses and ear and earbuds in right, and there
is an altered Jared Sidham version of that. I have
lost track how many people I've seen that have changed

(04:43):
their profile picture to that picture in support and with
solidarity in support of mister Jared Stidham. And he was
asked about the press yesterday and he's like, I'm not
on social but I've had a lot of people send
it to me and he loves it.

Speaker 6 (04:55):
Well, I'm thinking about changing my profile picture to the stiddler.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
Isn't that good?

Speaker 5 (05:00):
It's fantastic, very good, and I think it's appropriate because
we also on the blog today. Well, let's do the
blog and then we'll come.

Speaker 6 (05:05):
Back to this stuff, because I do have some stuff
on the blog about this, and we got guests, and
we got things, and we've got whatnot, perhaps some food
for all.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
I don't know.

(06:48):

Those are the headlines on the blog at mandy'sblog dot
com tech two. I knew that was coming because I
misspelled Brett st Britt Stevens last name, Britt Stevens last name.

(07:09):
I got to start yesterday, you know, yesterday. I don't
even know how the show started. Yesterday.

Speaker 5 (07:13):
After the show's over.

Speaker 6 (07:14):
I have no idea what happened. I don't even know
what I said. Sometimes I hear audio from the show
and I'm like, wow, that's really funny.

Speaker 5 (07:19):
Oh that's me.

Speaker 6 (07:19):
I said that that was funny. But there's a couple
of things that I have to do today that are
very important. One is tell you that yesterday when I
was vexed about Donald Trump's rambling speech at Davos, and
I still remain vexed, I I just you know, I
don't like the whining.

Speaker 5 (07:35):
I don't like any of that stuff.

Speaker 6 (07:37):
But yesterday, after the show was over, Trump announces a
few things. Number one, he said on Fox Business that
Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessett was negotiating to give the
United States access to pretty much whatever they wanted in Greenland.

Speaker 5 (07:54):
And I'm like, okay, okay.

Speaker 6 (07:57):
And then we find out as well that he has
gotten fifty nine other nations to sign on to be
on the Peace board for Gaza. Now you have to
realize that is a direct frontal assault on the United
Nations and their authority. I mean, the United Nations only
just back up, And if you're new to the show,

(08:18):
you need to know how much I hate the United Nations.
I don't hate the concept of the United Nations. I
love the concept of the United Nations. It would be
amazing if the actual United Nations lived up in any way,
shape or form to the promise of the United Nations,
to the idea of the United Nations. You need to
understand more about why I hate the United Nations. Right now,

(08:41):
Iran sits on the Human Rights Commission. Iran, you know
the Mullas who just murdered a whole bunch of protesters
who had the nerve to stand up and say I
don't want to have to cover my hair if I'm
a woman. Yeah, those they're on the Human Rights Commission.
The United Nations has, as far as I can tell, nothing,

(09:01):
They have stopped, no wars, they have intervened, not at
all in the Middle East. One of the most telling
things I ever learned about the United Nations is when
I went to Israel and my nephew took us to
the border of Syria.

Speaker 5 (09:13):
Now, Syria was still in the midst of the Civil War.

Speaker 6 (09:16):
There was no what they call hot war on the
southern border of Syria at the time.

Speaker 5 (09:20):
And we went to this kind of hill that overlooks
this what used to be a village in Syria. Now
it's just flattened because of the civil war.

Speaker 6 (09:29):
But we're sitting up there and there's a post in
the ground and I was like, well, what's up.

Speaker 5 (09:33):
What's up post for?

Speaker 6 (09:35):
And he said, Oh, this where we're sitting now, behind
these walls, a good mile away from the Syria maybe
a half mile from the Syria border, about a mile
away from the village that you could clearly see from
where we were sitting. He said, oh, that's where the
United Nations observers are.

Speaker 5 (09:49):
And I was like, what now.

Speaker 6 (09:52):
When you hear that the United Nations have sent observers
into a situation. Don't you assume that they're actually in
the situation.

Speaker 5 (10:03):
They're like in whatever's going on, trying to monitor, trying
to find. No, no, no, no, that's not what they do.

Speaker 6 (10:10):
They sit on the fringes with binoculars, giant binoculars that
dropped onto that post, and they just make notes.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
That's all they do.

Speaker 6 (10:18):
So I always thought, until I found this out, that
UN observers were actually there giving real time information that
could be used to, I don't know, take action. But
the UN doesn't ever do anything accept past resolutions against
Israel and now the United States except put absolute despots
on the Human Rights Commission. So if the UN right now,

(10:39):
let's just say, for instance, that.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
No one was hurt in this incident. By the way,
if in my fantasy of what I'd like to see
happen to the United Nations building, the building is totally empty.
If it just collapsed tomorrow, I'd be like, yeah, I
don't rebuild that.

Speaker 6 (10:53):
In New York, we have been footing the bill for
the United Nations four years now, since the first Trump administration.
Other nations have gone, oh yeah, we probably should pay
what we owe to the UN. Since the United States
isn't doing it. The United Nations is a garbage organization
as it sitsts right now. I don't think it can
be reformed. The bureaucracy is so entrenched. China has spent

(11:17):
so much money curring favor with the United Nations, it's unbelievable.
The United Nations, on like day seven of the Iranian uprising,
were completely silent on their social media about it. So
I love the fact that Donald Trump basically said to
a bunch of other nations, he invited like France, and

(11:39):
he invited you know, some of the slots, and some
of those nations have said no, no, new We didn't
want to get.

Speaker 5 (11:45):
In the way of the important wook that the United
Nations does.

Speaker 6 (11:50):
Whereas Donald Trump is like, yeah, they're trash, because they are.
So we're going to do something completely different without any
input from the United Nations. So he's got these fifty
nine other countries that have signed on to be part of.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
The Gaza Peace Board.

Speaker 6 (12:04):
Now, first of all, I could argue that this is
a dumb idea because we have over the last one
hundred and fifty years seeing exactly how well it works
out when white people try to I don't.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
Know fix things in the Middle East.

Speaker 6 (12:18):
We don't do a very good job at it because
culturally we're so different. We don't understand how things operate
in that field of play. Right now, now, now that
we've been over there actively since two thousand, I think
we have a better idea of the cultural problems that
we face when trying to keep tribes that have been
at war for hundreds of years from going to war

(12:38):
within a greater nation. So he's basically said to the
UN we don't need you.

Speaker 5 (12:46):
I love that.

Speaker 6 (12:48):
I absolutely love it. I'm down for I'm here for it.
I do want a little more input from people like
Jordan and the immediately surrounding and Israel when it comes
to Gaza rebuilding. I really believe that Donald Trump. And
you know what, here's the thing I've learned in my many,
many years. It's one of the things that makes Elon
Musk so successful and probably has made Donald Trump so successful,

(13:12):
because when he says we're going to rebuild Gaza and
it is going to be a crowned jewel of the Mediterranean,
it never occurs to him that that can't happen. What
Elon must says, you know what, I'm going to build
a rocket, and I'm going to build a rocket that
can be reused over and over and over again and
land itself. Other people were like, you can't do well.

(13:33):
Elon Musk was like, yeah, we're doing it. It never
occurs to people like that that you could fail.

Speaker 5 (13:38):
So let's just.

Speaker 6 (13:38):
Say the rebuilding of Gaza begins and we start to
see real progress. I still am concerned about what actual
governance in Gaza looks like, because the PLO is.

Speaker 5 (13:52):
Not any better.

Speaker 6 (13:52):
They're just not The Palestinian Authority, excuse me, is not
any better when it comes to ideology and when it
comes to recognizing Israel's simple right to exist. So then,
after all that, I have to thank a guy on
x who actually tagged me in a response to a
long article by a guy named Josh wolf Josh Wolfe

(14:14):
wrote a thing called the Arctic Smoke Screen, and in
it he reminded me at a time when I probably
needed to be reminding that many times, when we're looking
at one part of the problem, there's a lot of
other stuff in play. We talked about this when we
went in and arrested Nicholas Mudurero. It wasn't just about
arresting Nicholas Muduro. It was about disrupting Chinese oil. It

(14:38):
was about disrupting the drug trade both to the United
States and Europe. It was about starving the dictators of
their income. Right, so it was a much bigger thing
when we went to Venezuela.

Speaker 5 (14:47):
To get Maduro and Greenland.

Speaker 6 (14:49):
We know strategically is a necessary thing for the United
States for defense purposes. It is incredibly, incredibly valuable. When
I said yesterday, I'm like, why can't we just go
in and negotiate. There's a fascinating this article is so good,
starts like this. The most dangerous mistake about Greenland is

(15:11):
believing it.

Speaker 5 (15:12):
Is about Greenland.

Speaker 6 (15:13):
We're told this is a diplomatic spat, a real estate obsession,
a chaotic throwback to nineteenth century imperialism. The press treats
it as spectacle. Commentators debate whether the administration is serious
or simply trolling. Europeans express outrage at the affront to sovereignty.

Speaker 5 (15:30):
The whole affair is framed.

Speaker 6 (15:31):
As noise, eccentric, embarrassing, ultimately inconsequential. This framing is comfortable
and almost surely wrong. The conventional reading of the Greenland
saga is diplomatic incompetence. In real time, the administration threatens force,
gets rebuffed, escalates, gets rebuffed again, then retreats to the

(15:52):
language of a purchase. Commentators shake their heads, Europeans express bewilderment.
What looks like flailing is a classic Trump style negotiation sequence.
You open with an outrageous demand, precisely so your real
demand seems reasonable by comparison. It goes like this signal acquisition.

(16:15):
Denmark scoffs mentioned force, Denmark recoils, insist on force loudly, repeatedly.
Denmark reaches peak indignation. Others come to their side, then
pivot a purchase offer that eliminates Denmark's entire national debt
and nearly doubles green Lands GDP, and suddenly the question
is no.

Speaker 5 (16:35):
Longer how dare you?

Speaker 6 (16:36):
But wait how much? The rest of the column is
equally excellent. But the reason I wanted to start with
is today, when I have so much other stuff on
the blog, is because yesterday several of you text messaged
me and said some variation of Mandy, you.

Speaker 5 (16:53):
Gotta know this is Trump.

Speaker 6 (16:54):
Trump doesn't operate by the same plans, and that's one
of the things that I said later in the show
about something else that I actually like about Donald Trump.
But sometimes the chaos just feels overwhelming.

Speaker 5 (17:09):
You know, I've never in my.

Speaker 6 (17:11):
Lifetime lived in a faster news cycle than the one
we're living in right now. It is almost impossible, it
feels to keep up. But I've got to remember into
the textures. You tried to remind me about this yesterday.
I appreciate your efforts. I'm glad I read this column.
You can never look at just the thing with Donald Trump.

(17:34):
You can never just look at the one thing. You
have to look at the entire picture.

Speaker 5 (17:40):
Guys.

Speaker 6 (17:40):
The article continues, and I kind of want to read
a little bit more of it when we get back.
But what the author says is what we're seeing right
now is a supply chain annexation dressed in the costume
of territorial ambition.

Speaker 5 (17:54):
The target is not the island.

Speaker 6 (17:56):
It is the two geologic formations in southern Greenland that
contain the heavy, rare earth elements without which no advanced
weapons system can be built deprosium terbium, names that mean
nothing to the public but everything to the Pentagon. These
elements are irreplaceable in the actuators of F thirty five fighters,

(18:17):
the guidance spins of precision munitions, the sonar arrays of
Virginia class submarines, and the permanent magnets of every electric
vehicle motor. China controls over ninety percent of global processing.
The United States controls almost none. It's such a good call,
and Mandy Trump just came off as weak. He's an embarrassment.

(18:40):
I don't know what you're watching, Texter, but I don't
know if you saw what happened at Davos. Donald Trump
stood up and insulted a whole bunch of world leaders
to their face.

Speaker 5 (18:51):
And then after that it.

Speaker 6 (18:53):
Appears he's getting what he wants on Greenland, which is
access to the entire island.

Speaker 5 (18:58):
Right, that's what he want.

Speaker 6 (19:01):
And then he got fifty nine other nations to sign
a document which could actually spend the end of the
United Nations. I say it on the blog today, and
I said it in one simple sentence. I will share
with you one thing is clear in Davos. Donald Trump
is the most powerful person on Earth period. He's doing

(19:25):
things and everyone in the world is jumping to attention.

Speaker 5 (19:29):
Like it or not. They know he's right.

Speaker 6 (19:32):
When it comes to functioning without the US economy at
their disposal. He's the first president who has recognized the
power of access to our economy. Now, I may disagree
with things like tariffs, but at least his strategy is clear. Right,
I know where he's coming from. We'll be right back, Mandy.
Why do you always comment on the looks of men
in the news. If a guy did that, I bet

(19:53):
you'd be offended. I don't ever say bad things about
the way people look. I only give compliments. And I
do the same for women. If there's a woman who's
in the news who's hot, I will say that, but
you'll never hear me say, God, that guy's hideous, unless,
of course, I'm talking about their souls, in which case
I would call them hideous. I was starting before the

(20:15):
break with an article that I grabbed from Twitter by
a guy named Josh Wolfe. I'd never heard of Josh
wolf before, but he is.

Speaker 5 (20:25):
It looks like a.

Speaker 6 (20:26):
Finance guy, and he's founded multiple major finance or organizations,
and this was his analysis of what's going on in Greenland.
And he goes on to explain the difference between what's happening.

(20:46):
He does this whole side note into the prediction market
racket Calshi, what's the poly market? It does this whole
side note into that about how people are betting on things.
The reality is is that he brings all things together
in a way that I probably could have used yesterday.

Speaker 5 (21:08):
He says, the three theater squeeze.

Speaker 6 (21:10):
The average observers sees three separate news stories, a trade
dispute with Europe, a strangle fixation on Greenland, and some
localized internet outages in the Baltic These are not three
steps of stories. They are three fronts of a single conflict.
The resource front, the administration is securing the mineral inputs
for the military of the twenty thirties. The Tan Breeze

(21:30):
deposit in Greenland, rich in heavy rare earth enrich in
heavy rare earths free of uranium complications, owned by Western
interests is the crown jewel. The neighboring Kivanschfeld deposit, which
has Chinese equity participation through Shengheay Resources, is the problem
to be neutralized. Control of Greenland solves both in the

(21:52):
economic front. The tariffs announced against Denmark, France, Germany and
the UK and four other European nations are not protectionist measures.
They are precision guided economic strikes against political dissenters. The
thirty one year, thirty one billion euro US and UK
tech prosperity deal Microsoft Data Centers, Google's R and D
investment has been suspended indefinitely. The message is onambiguous alignment

(22:17):
with American geopolitical objectives is the price of American capital.
Then there's the kinetic front. While diplomats argue over tariffs,
Russian vessels drag anchors across Baltic telecommunication cables. The cargo
ship Fitburg, seized by the Finnish and Estonian authorities, is
part of the shadow fleet, vessels with opaque ownership that

(22:37):
operate below the threshold of open war.

Speaker 5 (22:40):
These are not accidents.

Speaker 6 (22:41):
They're shaping operations, mapping vulnerabilities, demonstrating the capacity to sever
the digital infrastructure that binds the Western Alliance together. The
average observer sees chaos. The intelligence reality is coherence, resource acquisition,
economic coercion, and preparation operating in concert. So his entire

(23:03):
take here is that Greenland is not just about greenland.
It's not a real estate obsession. It's about strategicy rare
earth minerals, which we already knew, but I didn't even
think about the cables being broken, the transatlantic cables that
have been broken over the last few years.

Speaker 5 (23:20):
And he maintains.

Speaker 6 (23:21):
That that's actually Russia probing to find out where our
soft spots are and how to separate us from the
European continent. Now at some point, I mean, starlink has
kind of been a game changer in terms of our
ability to communicate versus having to rely on undersea cables
to make the Internet work.

Speaker 5 (23:40):
Across the sea. Kind of thing.

Speaker 6 (23:43):
The public narrative, he finishes up is chaos, incompetence and
diplomatic embarrassment that will resolve itself. The operational reality offers
no comfort. The US is annexing a supply chain, Europe
is being coerced into alignment. Russia is probing the infrastructure
that holds the alliance together. The public is fragmented across

(24:06):
information silos that prevent collective response. Prediction markets are pricing
outcomes that official discourse still treats as unthinkable. The statements
in the press are not meaningless, but they're rarely decisive.
The decisive forces operate quietly, guided not by norms but
by leverage not by law but by geology, not by principle,

(24:28):
but by the irreducible logic of who controls the inputs
for the next generation of weapons. Fantastic. You got to
read the whole thing. It's so good, a Ron, I
have a question from the text line from the common
spirital text line for you, are all of the Spider
Man on your shirt pointing at each other?

Speaker 5 (24:46):
Are they shooting webs at each other?

Speaker 7 (24:48):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (24:48):
They're not, unfortunately for the sake of that meme.

Speaker 8 (24:51):
M hm.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
Hm, well done though, yep.

Speaker 5 (24:58):
This text or Man, I'm looking at Mandy. I'm looking
forward to a big show today. I've been unable to
listen much this week, So go big today. How do
you know I didn't go big all those other days
you couldn't listen. You don't know. She just said, you
don't know.

Speaker 6 (25:11):
The Texter who believes that Trump came off as weak
at Davos, which I think is honestly just kind of
absurd because the reality of the situation is.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
Are you weak if you have the EU all a twitter,
all upset, all try to figure out how to appease
you because they cannot afford to go to alone. They
know militarily, they can't go it alone. They know economically
they can't go it alone.

Speaker 6 (25:35):
They know that they need us way more than we
need them. And by the way, I'm not looking for
a trade war. I love Europe. I absolutely love it.
I enjoy visiting there. I have no animosity towards Europe
or the European people, except that I think Donald Trump
is absolutely right when he says that the United States

(25:56):
of America has been taken for granted and taken advantage
of by NATO for a very long time. When people
point to the wonderful social programs they have in Europe
and wonder why we can't have the same thing, well,
I'm like, well, we're paying for their both two things
that we're paying for in Europe. We're paying for their
drug development and we're paying for their defense, and have

(26:17):
been for decades. They don't pay the same outrageous drug
prices that we pay here. No, No, they have favored
nation status. They get much better deals because the United
States of America is loath to put price controls in
because we're a free markets country. I mean ostensibly, so,
I don't know, it's it was just a very interesting thing.

(26:38):
But this texture who thinks Trump appeared weak, said Mandy,
because Trump comes off as dangerously ignorant bully who can
tank the world's monetary system with one of his insane rants.
I don't care how much you struggle to defend that
piece of blank. The world hates him and laughs at him.
Can't wait till he's in the rearview mirror. Oh, they
can laugh at him all they want from their knees,

(27:00):
because that's where they are so far in Davos from
where I'm sitting, he's pretty much gotten everything that he wanted.
I read an article yesterday, and I don't know if
it was from this article in X. I don't think
it is. I read a different article. I wish i'd
grab it, but I didn't. That essentially said, we're moving
away from the norms that have sort of guided post

(27:24):
World War II society. We're moving away from the notion
that somehow there is this nebulous international law, even though
we all know that laws that have no enforcement mechanism
are not worth the paper that they're written on. We're
playing from a different rule book and right now, Donald Trump,
love him or hate him, and Texter her you obviously

(27:44):
hate him and sometimes I love him and sometimes I
hate him. I feel like I'm in a toxic relationship
with Donald Trump. I really do, because sometimes I'm like.

Speaker 9 (27:52):
Oh God, what is he gonna do today?

Speaker 6 (27:55):
And other times I was like, dang, that's it's really smart.
I mean con but I have to give the man credit.
And right now he has the entire world at his
eight and guess what, he doesn't care if they hate him.
He's not trying to get invited to their birthday party.
He's trying to put America first. And I got to
tell you, I'm okay with that. So I just want

(28:15):
to play one more snippet of audio from the World
Economic Forum, And if you don't believe that Donald Trump
is making an impression on our neighbors around the world,
just listen to this.

Speaker 5 (28:26):
Can I my audio iron? This is German Chancellor Friedrich Meritz.
Just listen.

Speaker 10 (28:34):
We are aware of those problems. Both Germany and Europe
have wasted incredible potential for growth in recent years by
dragging feed on reforms unnecessarily and excessively, curtailing entrepreneurial freedoms
and personal responsibility. We are going to change that now.

(28:57):
Security and predictability take precedence over excessive regulation and misplaced perfection.
We must reduce bureaucracy substantially in Europe. The Single Market
was once created to form the most competitive economic era
in the world, but instead we have become the world

(29:17):
champion of over regulation.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
That has to end.

Speaker 5 (29:23):
We are aware over regulation. And what he left out
was zero growth. Zero growth.

Speaker 6 (29:29):
Now you have to understand, Chancellor Mertz just made a
speech a couple of days ago talking about what a
terrible mistake it was for Germany to not just shut
down it's last remaining nuclear power plan a few years ago,
they also blew it up so they can't restarted. He's
now recognizing that all the policies they have instituted, especially

(29:50):
in Germany, which by the way, it's almost like the
policies that the Democrats have adopted in Colorado were written
in the same you know, vain, we're pursuing the exact
same goals that have led Germany to a path of
zero growth. So to hear him say, we have squandered this.

(30:12):
We have squandered incredible potential. We've become the world champion
of over regulation and zero growth.

Speaker 5 (30:20):
I don't care if.

Speaker 6 (30:22):
The world leaders around you know, the entire world despised
Donald Trump. In truth, I would if I were a
world leader, I probably would be like, dang, that guy's
kind of a jerk. I mean, I'd probably say it
classier than that if I was an actual world leader.
But he's making them all look terrible because he's pointing
out the obvious. When jd Vance goes overseas and barks

(30:45):
at everybody about free speech, it's for a reason. Did
you know there's still, like, right now today, there are
people being arrested for social media posts in the United Kingdom.
It sounds so absurd, but it is still happening.

Speaker 5 (30:59):
The same United Kingdom, by the way, who.

Speaker 6 (31:01):
Allowed a predatory group of Pakistani men to sexually abuse
hundreds of girls because they didn't want to seem racist
by investigating it.

Speaker 5 (31:13):
I'm beginning to think.

Speaker 6 (31:14):
And I, guys, as I'm about to say what I'm
about to say, for those of you that think I
love Donald Trump, and I get text messages from people say.

Speaker 5 (31:23):
I can't listen to you. It's so obviously you love
Donald Trump so much. I just can't listen to that.

Speaker 6 (31:30):
And then I get the people that are like my god,
Nandy you're Trump's arrangement syndrome is horrible.

Speaker 5 (31:35):
You hit the man.

Speaker 6 (31:36):
So I guess I'm shooting down the middle, right, I'm
just trying to be fair.

Speaker 5 (31:41):
But if things go the way.

Speaker 6 (31:44):
That Donald Trump believes that they are going to go,
economic prosperity coming to the United States, a new world
order that doesn't necessarily involve the corrupt United Nations, a
greater measure of security for the Western Hemisphere through cooperation
with Venezuela and Green. I mean, he already in his
first year, has got to be one of the most

(32:05):
transformative presidents of all time. And if you're honest, even
if you hate the guy, you got to be like, yeah,
a lot has happened in one year, a lot, and
not just here. When we get back, we are going
to speak with author doctor Johnet Bond Brill. And I'm
very excited because her mother in law, I don't know
if her mother in law's name is actually Edna, that

(32:27):
she's written a book called Little Edna's War, and it's
about her mother in law's Jewish childhood during the Holocaust
under Nazi terror. She actually became at age ten, a
decorated Polish Home Army soldier. You know, when I think
about this, and I'm interested to hear the story, I

(32:48):
think about when I was ten, and when my daughter
was ten, and when a Rod was ten. I mean,
I don't think we were right for helping out the
resistance fight against the Nazis, and yet that is what happened.
We're gonna do that next. Also coming up in the
next hour, Cherry Creek schools. We got to talk about this.
I didn't talk about it when the story aired the

(33:09):
first time, but they didn't update last night. When are
Cherry Creek parents gonna have enough? Talk about all that?
Coming up in the next hour. Keep it on KOA.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and injury Lawyers.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
No, it's Mandy Connell, Andy John.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
On KOA, Ninem.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
God Way, Saddy and the Nicey Gus Pray and Donald Keith, You,
sad Bab Welcome, Local, Welcome to the second hour of
the show.

Speaker 5 (33:46):
I'm thrilled to have our next guest coming up.

Speaker 6 (33:49):
I was just telling chant Bond Brill, who's written a
lovely book called Little Edna's War. One of my favorite
things about the job that I do has been the
opportunity to talk to people who actually survived the Holocaust.
And I've spoken with people who hid in a neighbor's
home for three years, basically living under their base boards
for three years. I've talked to people that were in

(34:10):
concentration camps, but I've not had the opportunity to talk
to anyone who was actually part of the resistance movement.
And though Janet is not part of the resistance movement,
she's not nearly old enough, her late mother in law
was and that was the inspiration for Little Edna's War.

Speaker 5 (34:28):
Janet Bondbrill, Welcome to the show. First of all, thanks Matt, Mandy.

Speaker 9 (34:34):
It's a pleasure to be here.

Speaker 6 (34:36):
So tell me a little bit about your mother in law.
Let's start with that. I mean, you marry into a family.
She sounds like she was a force of nature by
the time you married into that family. When did you
find out about her activities in World War Two?

Speaker 9 (34:51):
Honestly, when I first married him, I had no idea.
I mean, I knew she was a survivor, actually his
dad too, and that's about it. I mean, she was warm,
she was wonderful. She was my mother in law, and
I adored her.

Speaker 7 (35:09):
But it wasn't until I guess as the years went
by that I started kind of slowly finding out what
an astonishing story, or what an astonishing life she led,
and that she was probably one of the most courageous
women ever in history.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
So who was she?

Speaker 9 (35:28):
She was a beautiful, little blonde.

Speaker 7 (35:30):
Girl that was born in the wrong place, the wrong
time in history, and she became a little.

Speaker 8 (35:39):
Girl who actually fought fought the Nazis with a pistol
at the age of nine, who had to survive by
becoming Catholic.

Speaker 9 (35:52):
She was born Jewish, and she made history in so.

Speaker 7 (35:58):
Many ways, and she survived to tell about it and
to live a magnificent life, which actually is one of
the most hopeful endings to her story, was how happy
and how beautiful and how spectacular she lived the rest
of her life after that she formed from the ashes

(36:19):
of World War two.

Speaker 6 (36:22):
You know, that is consistent across every single person that
I have ever spoken to who survived through the Holocaust.
Through whatever their stories were, they got to the other
side when they were liberated.

Speaker 5 (36:33):
In some cases.

Speaker 6 (36:34):
One of the gentlemen that I had a chance to
speak too many many years ago, and he passed away
right after I interviewed him in Florida many years ago.
He said, when I saw the American soldiers open the gates,
I dropped to my knees and said, God, you let
me survive this. I will celebrate my life every day.
And to his point, he had and I think, when
you go through something so terrible and you do get

(36:57):
through it, you do have a new appreciation for life
everything it has to offer. But let's talk about how
she got involved with the Polish resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto.
I mean, you say, nine years old, you're fighting the Nazis, Like,
I can't even wrap my head around that.

Speaker 7 (37:13):
Well, first of all, she's seven years old when they
built the wall and around the Warsaw Ghetto, which basically
what the Germans did is they encapsulated Warsaw the Jews
into an area about the size.

Speaker 9 (37:26):
Of Central Park, and then.

Speaker 7 (37:28):
They put maybe close to half.

Speaker 9 (37:32):
A million people in that small area and then they
starved them to death. So the only way to survive
at that point in time was were children.

Speaker 7 (37:41):
Children were the first resistors seven and she was a
little little thing, and she was able to fit through
the holes underneath the ghetto wall and sneak to the
Arian side and get food and then sneak back so
and feed her.

Speaker 9 (37:56):
Family and prevent starvation. So that was one thing she did.

Speaker 7 (38:00):
But then she ended up going to the Aryan side
and pretending to be a Polish Catholic orphan and singing
and dancing her way to survival, and that's how she
ended up working for the Polish Home Army as a
Polish Catholic child working for the resistance.

Speaker 6 (38:22):
That is just I mean, how did you verify Not
that you wouldn't believe your mother in law, but were
you able to sort of find enough documentation to verify
these stories?

Speaker 9 (38:33):
Absolutely well, I'm a researcher. I have a PhD. And
I found evidence of a documentation that is rock solid.

Speaker 7 (38:43):
I have her Polish Home Army card.

Speaker 9 (38:47):
I have her pow. She was a pow that's another story,
at the age.

Speaker 7 (38:53):
Of ten in Oberlongen, which is the first female pow
camp in history in Nazi Germany.

Speaker 9 (39:03):
And so I have all those records. I have her
number from the pow camp.

Speaker 7 (39:08):
I have she was awarded an audience with Pope Pious
the twelfth as an Oberlongen girl as a polar Cash,
a polit Catholic war hero, and she was awarded an
audience with him with the Oberlongen Girls and given a
medal by Popius the twelve.

Speaker 5 (39:27):
And I have.

Speaker 7 (39:28):
Photographs, her own photographs of the Oberlongen Girls in front
of Saint Paul's Cathedral where Pope Pious was at the time.

Speaker 6 (39:38):
How was where was she at the end of the war.
Was she in a pow camp? Was she liberated?

Speaker 5 (39:43):
How did that? How did that part of the story stop.

Speaker 1 (39:47):
It?

Speaker 9 (39:49):
She retained that facade for many, many, many years.

Speaker 7 (39:54):
She ended up going to a convent and living in
a convo, which were her happiest years because she had
no childhood.

Speaker 9 (40:03):
So this convent in England, she was very popular and
she performed. She was a performer.

Speaker 7 (40:11):
And so then that's another part of the story is
she became Catholic through and through her identity and her psyche.
She completely cut off any any past of being Jewish,
because being Jewish meant death.

Speaker 9 (40:28):
So then her brother snuck into the.

Speaker 7 (40:32):
Into the convent and tried to convince her to come
to Israel, and she refused.

Speaker 9 (40:39):
She said, I don't know any Hebrews. And then he
this makes me cry.

Speaker 7 (40:44):
He actually sang her a Yiddish lullaby that that is
their mother used to sing to them, and that made
that kind of opened up the remembering. And so she
went with him to Israel, and that's another historic move.
So she basically made history in so many ways.

Speaker 6 (41:05):
What an amazing, absolutely incredible story this is. And it's
called Little Edna's War. I am being joined by Janet
Bond Brill. She's the author and daughter in law of
her late What was your mother in law's name?

Speaker 4 (41:19):
Is it?

Speaker 5 (41:20):
Her name?

Speaker 7 (41:20):
Edna at Na Stefania Stefanya is her Catholic name, Brill?

Speaker 9 (41:27):
And you notice that she kept her whole life her
dual identity.

Speaker 6 (41:32):
I was going to ask you about that. I mean, so,
did she celebrate Christmas in Hanukah? Like, what did that
look like in practice? Or was it just something she
held close to her chest.

Speaker 9 (41:41):
No, she became fiercely Jewish.

Speaker 7 (41:44):
However, she always kept her Catholic paraphernalia, her rosary, her
things that she got, the missives that she had from
the convent, from her best friends, from the nuns.

Speaker 9 (41:57):
She always kept that by her side.

Speaker 7 (42:00):
So I think that that's an interesting examination of what
psychological and the trauma and how letting go of your
identities is not something so simple when your past identity.

Speaker 9 (42:17):
Would have gotten you killed, so you had to transform
your mind.

Speaker 7 (42:23):
And then so I think what my book does also
it examines after liberation after World War Two, how a
lot of Holocaust survivors dealt with this.

Speaker 9 (42:35):
And my mother in law was very different in how
she dealt with it.

Speaker 5 (42:38):
How did she deal with it? I'm curious.

Speaker 7 (42:42):
I think she, like you were saying, she lived a
magnificent life. She was just She adored her family, she
adored her grandchildren. She would be draped in you know,
gorgeous close and go to Gallas every weekend and sing

(43:03):
and dance and just a glamorous, warm, wonderful person.

Speaker 9 (43:09):
And I think that is survival. That's a form of
survival that we don't talk about. You mentioned it.

Speaker 6 (43:15):
It is she And as I said that, that's pretty
consistent with all the Obviously I haven't spoken with every
Holocaust survivor, and I'm sure there are people who have
had a different experience, But the appreciation and love for
every day that you were given as a gift on
this planet, I think when you see death at a
scale that a.

Speaker 5 (43:35):
Lot of these people saw death in real time.

Speaker 6 (43:38):
I do think it it is you get a little
more appreciative of you know, there but for the grace
of wis you appreciated everything.

Speaker 7 (43:45):
I never saw anyone that appreciated details and took the
time to smell the roses and to look at the
details of everything.

Speaker 9 (43:53):
It's it was, It's just she was such an amazing person.

Speaker 7 (43:58):
I learned a lot from her, and I feel very
honored and lucky that she was my mother in law
and I spent thirty seven years of my life with her.

Speaker 6 (44:08):
Well, I will say this, I think that she was
lucky to have a seasoned author as her daughter in
law to make sure that her story didn't die with her.

Speaker 5 (44:17):
And she has passed now, so I appreciate it.

Speaker 6 (44:20):
I'm glad that more of these stories are getting told,
and I'm glad that we're still having conversations about the
incredible levels of bravery that were exhibited by normal, everyday
people who were called to a higher purpose, even when
they were seven or eight or nine years old. So, Janet,
I really appreciate your time today so much, and I
appreciate the book. I put a link to it on
the blog where people can go ahead and purchase the book.

Speaker 5 (44:44):
I hope they do. And it's been a real pleasure
talking to you.

Speaker 7 (44:49):
Okay, And if they want, if your listeners want to
get more information about these history or photos, I have
it on little ednaswar dot com.

Speaker 5 (45:00):
War dot com and I put a link to that
on my blog as well. Thank you so much. Janet.
All right, that is Janet fond Brill. I just I
those stories.

Speaker 6 (45:11):
I mean, you can't even imagine it, can't even imagine
seven years old, you get drafted into the Polish Resistance Army.

Speaker 5 (45:18):
It's just this is what I think of. This is
one of the reasons I want to talk to people
like her, is that all of these people out there
are like, we need civil war in the United States
of America. No, we don't.

Speaker 6 (45:28):
Are you want your children to pick up arms? I don't,
although my children are good shots. I'm just saying, put
the link on the book, let me figure out what
we've got going next.

Speaker 5 (45:42):
Okay. I want to get into this. I read this
column a couple of days ago, and it was on
a substack called State of the Day by the Daily Caller,
and the headline is start saying no to women okay,
start saying no to women. I was like, okay, I'll
check and see. First thing I did was.

Speaker 6 (46:03):
Who's writing the story. It's being written by a young
woman named Natalie Sandoval. Okay, we got a chick talking
about start saying no to women.

Speaker 5 (46:12):
And then I started to read it. Now I have
to clean this up. I had never heard anyone. Have
you ever heard the phrase? And I can't use the
actual phrase because it's a bad word. But if you
ever heard the phrase, what of a poop test? A
poop test? You ever heard this?

Speaker 6 (46:27):
No, it's a manufactured grievance a woman uses to test
the metal competence and confidence of her mate. It is
an intentional provocation accompanied by an explicit or implicit and.

Speaker 5 (46:39):
Subconscious desire that the man put his foot.

Speaker 6 (46:42):
Down, set reasonable boundaries, and demonstrate that he will not
be bullied, naged, shamed, or gilted into submission.

Speaker 5 (46:50):
That from the urban dictionary. Back in the days of
pickup artists.

Speaker 6 (46:55):
I don't think this is the thing anymore, but the
pickup artist community there was such a community.

Speaker 5 (46:59):
I don't know that there was a community.

Speaker 6 (47:02):
So the pickup artist community started talking to this about women.
An example of this would be when you're communicating with
someone on a dating app and the woman shoots this
across the dating app. Before I continue, I have to
ask if you're a Trump supporter.

Speaker 5 (47:21):
Yeah. Yeah, And it's serious. It's incredibly serious because I
have a.

Speaker 6 (47:28):
Thing on my x account from yesterday and I kind
of jokingly tagged it like how to die alone in
one short message, And it's written by a woman who
was casually seeing a guy for about a month and
then they were hanging out a couple of days ago
and she found out he is a conservative, and this

(47:51):
is what she says. I immediately felt grossed out and manipulated.
He seems like a nice guy. It has always treated
me kindly. We hooked up on the second date at
his place. I was wanting that I wanted to get
over a breakup and I had asked him if he
was pro choice and he said yes. Early on he
talked about his friends, many of whom were gay guys.
I wrongly assumed his political stance. He did not include

(48:12):
his political stance on his profile.

Speaker 5 (48:15):
I'm cutting things off.

Speaker 6 (48:18):
Because she didn't throw the poop test at the sky,
But listen to the reason that she brought this whole
thing up.

Speaker 5 (48:28):
This author said, here's my proposal.

Speaker 6 (48:30):
We're living through a civilizational poop test. In order to survive,
we need to start saying no to women. What does
a civilizational poop test look like?

Speaker 5 (48:42):
Something like this.

Speaker 6 (48:43):
In October of twenty twenty five, political polling firm Signal
asked likely voters if it was quote acceptable to go
beyond peaceful protest in response to immigration rates conducted by ICE,
even if those actions break the law. Overall, about twenty
four percent of respondents agreed. Among these self identified liberal

(49:05):
white women eighteen to forty four, about sixty one percent agreed.
Enter the late Renee Nicole Good. Now, I've been thinking
about this for a long time. Not this column, but
I've been thinking about this concept when people get the
vapors about Renee Good and again, I want to just
say upfront, I wish that Renee Good was not dead.

(49:29):
I wish that she had not made stunningly bad choices
leading up to her death.

Speaker 5 (49:32):
I wish that that ICE agent had had a better
option than shooting her. I wish all of these things
had not occurred.

Speaker 6 (49:40):
But the notion that somehow I should be more apoplectic
because she's a woman when she is a woman who
chose to harass ice agents who chose to stop her
vehicle in the road with the sole purpose of slowing
down immigration customs and enforcement. She made those choices, she
decided to act like a warrior, and then when it

(50:02):
got real, we're all supposed to feel.

Speaker 5 (50:05):
Like, oh no, it was a woman. He was a woman.
It was a woman who decided to mix it up.

Speaker 6 (50:12):
I actually think a lot of this goes back to
our culture, which I think is a positive thing, that
whole hey don't hit a girl culture. My grandsons are
both in karate and they're little kids, like their little
little kids, so they have girls in their class, which
is fine.

Speaker 9 (50:26):
But when my.

Speaker 6 (50:27):
Grandsons spar against a girl in their class, you cannot
call it sparring. You call it bouncing around in a
circle while the little girls make the occasional jab and
my grandsons just block it because they don't want to
hit a girl. We've done a wonderful job ingraining that.
But now there are women who are like, you know what,
he's not gonna hit me. I'm not gonna get a

(50:48):
hit here, No way, it's not gonna happen. It's not
gonna happen.

Speaker 5 (50:54):
Back to the column.

Speaker 6 (50:56):
The strangest and saddest aspect of Renee Good's demise to
me is there lack of fear. I speculate that a
drip feed of blue sky propaganda, supplemented by decades of
girl power media, is to blame. John Cardi has a
good essay on late stage liberal mind meltdown. Eventually, the
unstable construct of distortions and outright falsehoods that liberalism is

(51:18):
based upon destined to disappear into a shrieking howl of
distorted static, and it will take the minds of its
adherence with it. It will cause actual brain damage. Again,
I returned to the poop test. Renee Good needed someone
to tell her no.

Speaker 5 (51:33):
She didn't have a husband to do that. She had
a partner who told her drive drive.

Speaker 6 (51:38):
As the ancient problems mentioned in our recent podcast episode,
if his wife told him to do something that would
get him killed, he simply wouldn't.

Speaker 5 (51:46):
Rene Good was not particularly special.

Speaker 6 (51:48):
Social media's rife with videos of white, presumably liberal women
antagonizing ice officers. These women, like Rene Good are throwing
massive tantrums, they are poop testing, they're dancing around them
like a child taunting another on the playground.

Speaker 5 (52:02):
I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you.

Speaker 6 (52:04):
This is a twisted sort of chivalry in which the
woman assumes the posture of the man, aggressive and confrontational,
but recoils at being treated harshly. In other words, she
demindes the rights of a man, the privileges of a woman,
and the responsibilities of neither. It is time to start
telling women no, and as a woman, I feel especially

(52:28):
capable of making that point. When we get back, I
have a little bit more information on who believes that
political assassination is a reasonable tool in the political toolbook.
And if you just heard what I just read, you
are already going to know the answer. Oh trust me,

(52:50):
you're not going to be surprised talking about a column
that I just read that it's time to say no
to women, And the whole column is linked on the
blog today.

Speaker 5 (52:57):
You can check it out for yourself.

Speaker 6 (52:59):
But I got this text message that said, Mandy, do
you read or watch anything that's not from a completely
right wing source. There seems to be an undertone from
your last segment that women should be afraid of men.
Wasn't listening that closely. But that is a pretty messed
up train of thought that is not at all what
I just said, not even a little bit what I
just said.

Speaker 5 (53:20):
Nobody should be.

Speaker 6 (53:21):
But you have to be aware that for each action
there is an equal and opposite reaction, and women want
to assume the privilege of being women and being treated
slightly differently in our society and then act like men
and mix it up, and then we're supposed to feel
bad when they get killed. And don't get me wrong,
I already said I wish Rene Goud was not dead.

Speaker 5 (53:43):
I really do. I think it's a horribly tragic situation.

Speaker 6 (53:48):
But when you decide to step up and decide to
get in someone's face because you've decided they're not going
to hit you, I'm a woman, and Guys, I've said
this before, Chuck is a extremely protective of me. I mean,
he is so protective of me it's not even funny.
And he has been our entire relationship. But doing this job,

(54:09):
he has to like allow me to fight back with
people on my own before he steps in, and we've
created this nice balance. But at the same time, there
have been times where I'm like, nothing's gonna happen.

Speaker 5 (54:20):
What are they gonna hit a girl? I've said it
to him before.

Speaker 6 (54:22):
But I'm also not up in someone's face, right, I'm
not the instigator. So the point of this is not, oh,
women should be as scared of men. It's like, if
you're going to act like a man, expect the repercussions
of things that happen to men. It's called taking responsibility
for the consequences of your actions. So let me get
to this other thing, because I think this kind of

(54:43):
goes hand in hand. According to a new survey, sixty
seven percent of left leaning respondency political violence as justified,
compared to fifty four percent on the right. Researchers in
a new non proba ability based national survey found that
high usage of social media and growing pessimism about the

(55:06):
country's future may be eroding basic civility.

Speaker 5 (55:10):
According to one of the researchers, Joel.

Speaker 6 (55:12):
Finkelstein, director of the Network Contagion Research Institute, which studies
emerging threats to national security, civics, and American youth online,
found that they said, look, I thought we'd be seeing
a bunch of guys who were unemployed who would be
endorsing this, but that's not quite how it went. According

(55:34):
to their survey, they asked a thousand people, and they
asked respondents nationwide on a scale of zero to six
about two high profile political figures, Donald Trump and New
York Mayor Zion Mamdani. Okay, so they just asked these
questions about either of these politicians. For questions about justification

(55:55):
of political violence, a score of zero meant that the
participant considered the political violence completely unjustified. Anything higher than
zero meant the respondent believed that there was.

Speaker 5 (56:07):
At least some justification.

Speaker 6 (56:09):
A score of six meant the respondent thought political violence
was completely justified. According to this survey, sixty seven percent
of left of center respondents saw murderers justified, compared to
fifty four percent on the right. A year ago, left
of center support was fifty six percent. Maybe they were

(56:32):
involded by the murder of Charlie Kirk. Maybe that's what's
inspired all of these women. Women overall were about fifteen
percent more likely to support assassination culture fourteen point eight
percent for Trump, twenty one point two percent.

Speaker 5 (56:46):
For Mom Donnie.

Speaker 6 (56:49):
You know why they're more likely to support it because
they don't expect themselves to be the ones doing it right.

Speaker 5 (56:56):
They're assuming that some man out there is going to
be the one to pull the trigger. Some man.

Speaker 6 (57:01):
I'm they're mostly right. I mean, you look at who
tried to kill Donald Trump. Those were dudes. So I
kind of view women, and you know what, way back
in Genesis in the Bible, I have had feminist friends
of mine in prior years say things like, since the
beginning of Christianity, women have been blamed as instigators, as troublemakers.

Speaker 5 (57:26):
Well, the reality is.

Speaker 6 (57:29):
We can be, but a vast majority of the time
we don't want to get out there and find I
want to ask my male listeners this, have you ever
been in a situation with a woman where something started
to go sideways and she was like, well, aren't you
gonna do something.

Speaker 5 (57:45):
Or get out there or whatever?

Speaker 6 (57:47):
Have you ever been called out for not jumping into
the fray afraid that sometimes is created by the woman
you're with. One of my friends got married pretty quick
after college to a woman that most of us have
never met.

Speaker 5 (58:00):
We were not familiar.

Speaker 6 (58:01):
He wasn't from Tallahassee, he was from somewhere else, and
she was exactly like that, not sober, sober, she was
absolutely lovely. She was a wonderful person when she was sober.
She was just not sober nearly enough. And we would
all be out and someone, you know, you're in a
crowded bar and someone bumps into you. She would spill

(58:21):
her drink and she would look at her husband and
be like, aren't you gonna do something? And he would
look at her and go, no, I'm not. Nothing happened.
She was giving him the poop.

Speaker 5 (58:35):
Test that I was talking about before.

Speaker 6 (58:37):
He as the man who would be expected to jump
into the fray, looked at the situation and was like, yeah,
I'm not doing that.

Speaker 5 (58:45):
Ornico didn't have that. She had her partner telling her
to drive at an ice agent.

Speaker 6 (58:52):
So that's the point. It's not about being feared. It's
about rational thinking. It's about having someone. The best relationships
that I know of are where one person is a
little more high strung, or maybe have a lot more
high strung, and the other person is like the grounding force. Right,
So the person who's a little more high strong is
usually the person of the big dreams and of the
aspirations That kind of lifts that up for that more

(59:15):
rock solid person maybe inspires them motivates them, gives them goals,
that kind of stuff. Where's the other direction. It's that
rock solid person that kind of keeps that other person grounded.
And when they say, aren't you going to do something?
They look at them and go, no, I'm not. That's
all we're talking about, Mandy. Most boys grow up being

(59:38):
rough and tumble with other boys. In this they learn
ramifications and who not to mess with. They take this
knowledge into adulthood. Most girls and women miss this, so
in adulthood they don't know the boundaries exactly. Many are
you bearing the lead over half the country? Left or
right things? Political violence is okay?

Speaker 5 (01:00:01):
What the heck? I know, Texter, I know, Mandy.

Speaker 6 (01:00:06):
The perfect example of what you're talking about is the
video of the women protesting in Minnesota screaming at someone
while pointing at her face.

Speaker 5 (01:00:13):
Asking to be hit or worse.

Speaker 6 (01:00:15):
See, here's the thing. I think there should be a
new rule.

Speaker 5 (01:00:19):
If someone asked you to hit them and you hit them,
you should not be held responsible.

Speaker 6 (01:00:23):
You are merely fulfilling their wish right, You're merely fulfilling
they asked you to do it. As a matter of fact,
maybe if this ever happens to you. I'm just I'm
gonna give you a bad suggestion that will possibly get
your arrested.

Speaker 5 (01:00:37):
But it'll be funny.

Speaker 6 (01:00:39):
It'll be a great story if you run into a
protester that says, you know, oh yeah, come on and
hit me, just say I'm gonna need you to say please,
and when they do, you hit them and then you
asked the judge. Look, I gave them a chance to
back out of it. I was just seeing if that's
what they really wanted.

Speaker 5 (01:00:56):
Some people are into that. I don't know. Mandy.

Speaker 6 (01:01:02):
My ex had auditory hallucinations, i e. Voices in her
head and expected me to respond to them.

Speaker 1 (01:01:09):
No.

Speaker 6 (01:01:11):
Yeah, Mandy, my friend's wife once got into a bar
fight to support me. I mean, you know what your
wife's your friend's wife is I'm not getting no fight, No, Mandy,
my wife fights her own battles.

Speaker 5 (01:01:24):
But when I need to step in, I will. Wow.

Speaker 6 (01:01:28):
I believe it was two women who tried to kill
President Ford.

Speaker 5 (01:01:30):
I'm old.

Speaker 6 (01:01:31):
Yes, as a matter of fact, Squeaky crom Squeaky from
and what was the the other one?

Speaker 5 (01:01:36):
You guys? The other one was a woman who was
just a random middle.

Speaker 6 (01:01:41):
Aged housewife who decided she was going to kill President
Ford because she didn't like his politics.

Speaker 5 (01:01:46):
Of course, of course we're gonna take a quick time out,
be right back.

Speaker 6 (01:01:50):
If you're looking for AFC Championship tickets, you should be
looking at a Koa's social media.

Speaker 5 (01:01:55):
Ayond what's the status of our social media ticket giveaways?
What do people have to do? How can they do it?
Please tell them?

Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
Very simple?

Speaker 3 (01:02:01):
Go to our X and Instagram pages at kae Colorado,
pinned on both profiles.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
All the instructions are right there.

Speaker 6 (01:02:07):
Multiple through the instructions or your entrance doesn't count.

Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
Good lucky.

Speaker 5 (01:02:13):
Ron and I do not make up these rules, but
I will tell you we are forced to follow them.

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
I picked the winners.

Speaker 6 (01:02:18):
But you can't just randomly pick somebody who doesn't enter properly,
because then we get in trouble and we're not getting it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:02:25):
And it's not like there's a lot to do, Okay,
it's not super hard.

Speaker 2 (01:02:29):
No, And by my count, you have won two three
chances to win a pair.

Speaker 5 (01:02:33):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
That's pretty good chances.

Speaker 6 (01:02:34):
Correct, And don't forget Tomorrow at five point thirty the afternoon,
guys are going to be giving away another pair of
tickets to Sunday's AFC Championship game. Now, I just want
to say, let me see if I can find it.
Hang on one second, Rocky Mountain Bronx Bill made this point,
and he is so right. Mandy grew up in the

(01:02:55):
sixties and then talk to me about political violence.

Speaker 5 (01:02:59):
Yep, I was talking to a friend of mine.

Speaker 6 (01:03:01):
My husband grew up in Athens, Ohio, which is southwest Ohio.
So when Kent State happened, he was a very young boy.

Speaker 5 (01:03:10):
He was a young kid.

Speaker 6 (01:03:12):
One of his older brothers, I think was already in
the military and the other one was protesting the Vietnam War.
You know, that family dynamic being what it is, and
they had a lot of political unrest and political violence
in his hometown of Athens, Ohio, where Ohio University is.
So his perspective on this stuff is much different. You

(01:03:32):
know anybody that lived through that kind of stuff. People
were being murdered, blown up, bombs were going off, but
somehow we managed to get it together.

Speaker 5 (01:03:42):
Somehow.

Speaker 6 (01:03:43):
Mandy, my next door neighbor, is a lib from the
Common Spirit health text line. Politically we agree on next
to nothing, believe it or not.

Speaker 5 (01:03:50):
We're good friends. The Great neighbors. That's because you're both mature.

Speaker 6 (01:03:55):
And you recognize that there's no point in fighting over
politics with the people who next door who believe differently
than you. Congratulations Texter, because I have no problem being
friends with someone on the other side of the aisle.
But I will tell you this, boy, they have a
problem with that with me. Super frustrating. Will Mandy be

(01:04:17):
cheering at Laramer Square? It's going to be cold as
the what dute?

Speaker 1 (01:04:23):
No? No?

Speaker 6 (01:04:24):
I And as a matter of fact, Chuck said, Chuck,
go's are you going to try and get tickets in
the game?

Speaker 5 (01:04:28):
And I was like, well, this is different. I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:04:30):
Maybe they'll do another lottery. They did a lottery here
for you know, people could wait. I said, I'll put
my name in, but I'm not going to the game,
and I know that's crazy. Wait what Yeah, if I
win the tickets, Chuck is going to go with another
friend of ours because name wait ay Rod, hear me out.

Speaker 5 (01:04:46):
I cannot sit and not cheer. You can try, No,
it doesn't work.

Speaker 6 (01:04:51):
I was tried last time and my voice cannot handle
another day like that. So now there will be no
a loud cheering. I'm less likely to yell loudly in
my home than I am surrounded by other rabid Broncos
fans like I was last Sunday. By the way, I
saw that stat you sent me earlier a rod fifty

(01:05:12):
one point three million.

Speaker 5 (01:05:14):
People watched Yeah, Broncos beat the Bills in overtime.

Speaker 2 (01:05:18):
That's a record, I believe for a Saturday playoff game.

Speaker 6 (01:05:21):
I'm gonna tell you, guys, I feel so privileged to
have been in that stadium. What a great privilege that.

Speaker 5 (01:05:27):
Is, man, what a game?

Speaker 6 (01:05:31):
Anyway, So you have multiple chances to win those AFC
Championship tickets and it's all digital. Somebody sent me a
text and said, what if I can't come pick them
up on Friday?

Speaker 5 (01:05:40):
Those days are long over.

Speaker 6 (01:05:42):
Those days of having to go to the radio station
to pick up anything are over. Many entered Joe Biden
in your contest because he needs a parent. Well, you
know what, He's no longer my problem, nor will he
ever be my problem again, And I'm okay with that.
I'm perfectly happy to have Joe just rye often the
sunset on his bicycle till he falls off, and then

(01:06:04):
he can stop and ask some chocolate chip ice cream
and live his best old man life.

Speaker 5 (01:06:08):
I'm here for you, Joe.

Speaker 6 (01:06:09):
I got your back on that one. When we get back,
do we have Oh no, for it's coming up a
little bit later. Okay, we got this coming up in
the next segment, gen Z, we'll give you two years,
two years for what I'll tell you.

Speaker 5 (01:06:26):
How do we actually get the flu?

Speaker 6 (01:06:28):
And Americans love to travel overseas to go visit Costco.

Speaker 5 (01:06:34):
Oh yeah, Plus, if you're a fan of the British
Great British Bakeoff, I have bad sad news, really bad
sad news. All that's coming up after the news trafficking weather,
Keep it on KOA.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and injury Lawyers.

Speaker 2 (01:06:53):
No, it's Mandy Connell.

Speaker 4 (01:07:03):
Got the Niceyre Andy Toronto Keithing sad babe.

Speaker 5 (01:07:15):
Then too, the third.

Speaker 6 (01:07:16):
Hour of the show, we're making our way through our
busy broadcast. Hey I'm Mandy Candle. That's Anthony Rodriguez and
we got one more hour in US. I do have
to answer this question from the common speard elf text line,
Hi Mandy, what cold weather goodies will Mandy be stucking
for this upcoming miserable weekend pizza rolls, white castles, cheese,

(01:07:37):
puff ice cream. I don't eat a lot of that stuff,
especially at home. Well, we're talking about what to do
for the game, you know, and I think I'm gonna
make some chicken wings.

Speaker 5 (01:07:49):
I love chicken wings. I don't fry him. It's too messy.

Speaker 6 (01:07:53):
I've given my secret out before, and it's not really
a big secret. It's super easy. You mix about four
parts making powder without aluminum gotta be baking powder without aluminum,
to like two parts salt, and then you toss your
wings in that, and then you lay them out on
a pan and you stick them in the fridge and
you let them sit there for like eight hours overnight.
Half an hour's good, but the longer you let them

(01:08:15):
sit there, the skin gets dry. And then you just
toss them in a super hot oven and you flip
them halfway through and they are as close to a
fried wing as you will get without frying.

Speaker 5 (01:08:27):
So good, so good.

Speaker 6 (01:08:30):
But for the snow, I already have a fire made
in my fireplace, just waiting to be lit, and maybe
do some chili.

Speaker 5 (01:08:38):
I don't know. Feeling kind of crazy. Is there any
milk or bread? Left at the store.

Speaker 6 (01:08:43):
Because we're gonna have the little snow on Friday. Anyone
anyone know this?

Speaker 5 (01:08:47):
Mandy?

Speaker 6 (01:08:47):
What is the seismic shift for small businesses advertisement that
we keep hearing about? Any ideas? No, Both Aron and
I have looked it up and can't tell, so we
have no idea. Okay, if you were hiring gen Z
and gen Z has a reputation, it's not just gen Z,
it's millennials as well, but gen Z has a bit

(01:09:08):
of a reputation in the workplace as a job hopping generation.
And I'm just going to tell you guys this.

Speaker 5 (01:09:14):
My millennial kids.

Speaker 6 (01:09:18):
Have probably had more jobs at this point than I've
had in my entire life.

Speaker 5 (01:09:23):
And I've had a lot of jobs. They have no
problem finding and accepting a new job. They really don't.
They're like, ah, I'm good.

Speaker 6 (01:09:32):
Here, and you know what, They make so much more
money than I did at that age because they were willing.

Speaker 5 (01:09:37):
To make the move. But listen to this. A recent
survey delve deeper into.

Speaker 6 (01:09:42):
Gen Z job satisfaction and was able to put a
more specific length of time these employees will devote to
a company before moving on to greener pastures that time
frame two years.

Speaker 5 (01:09:56):
And here's the thing.

Speaker 6 (01:09:57):
They surveyed gen Z workers and they he surveyed hiring managers,
and the hiring managers were like two years and gen
Z was like two years. There was no there was
no divergence, There was no daylight between the two answers. Now,
from the gen Z perspective, this makes a lot of
sense because the easiest way to get a raise is

(01:10:17):
to get someone else to want to hire you, and
then you can either make the leap and go to
a new company or you get your old company saying no,
you're valuable enough to us that we want to keep
you around, you know, and we can afford to do so.
But the reality is is, you know what, I grew
up in an era when my father just drilled into me,
never quit a job until you have another job.

Speaker 5 (01:10:39):
Don't quit a job so fast they'll think you can't
keep a job. Those things have gone out the window.

Speaker 6 (01:10:45):
But one thing that gen Z has to realize, and
they don't really realize this now and millennials are starting
to get it. Hiring and training new employees is extremely
expensive and can be extremely disruptive because not every hire
is going to be a good fit. That's just the reality.
Sometimes you're going to hire people that you think are
going to be great, and for whatever reason, they don't
fit into the culture, they're not doing a good job,

(01:11:05):
and you got to cut them loose.

Speaker 5 (01:11:07):
All of that stuff is incredibly.

Speaker 6 (01:11:08):
Expensive, and so when hiring managers are looking and they're like, Okay,
gen Z's going to give us two years.

Speaker 5 (01:11:15):
Is that going to suffice for this role?

Speaker 6 (01:11:17):
Are we looking for someone who's gonna invest a little
bit longer in the long term, you know, picture, I
think it depends on what level you're hiring, first of all,
and it also depends on, you know, what the purpose
of that particular role is. If that role is just
to be a cog in the machine, then yeah, hire

(01:11:37):
gen Z. Let them, let them cog all day long.
But if you're looking for someone to be an integral
part of a company looking to grow and expand and
do all those things, I'm not sure I would hire
gen Z, and I hate that for them. Mandy at
the store now, literally looking for making powder. I had
no idea there was one with aluminum. Look for the tip,
and I'm not anti illuminum, but you can taste the

(01:12:00):
metallic because I don't put sauce on my wings at all.

Speaker 5 (01:12:03):
I just like am plain. I know, I'm not very
exciting like that. When you just do them plain, you
can taste.

Speaker 6 (01:12:09):
There's like a tiny metallic kind of back taste. If
you get baking powder for your wings that has illuminim
in it. Uh, Mandy, how do you get those chicken
wings to sit in your fridge? I can get one,
maybe two chairs in my fridge. Here's the chicken wing
recipe one more time. Four parts baking powder without aluminum.

(01:12:33):
I use Mumford brand. Mumpfort does not have baking illuminum
in it.

Speaker 5 (01:12:37):
And then maybe one or.

Speaker 6 (01:12:38):
Two parts salt. I use two parts salt, but that
can be too salty for you. You can always salt
after the fact. And then you just toss it. You
toss the wings in that you get them all covered
and coated. You just lay them out flat on a
sheet pan and let them dry in the fridge. Trust me,
so good, Mandy. I'm disappointed that a Rod has the

(01:12:58):
same dad joke calendar that I bought.

Speaker 5 (01:13:00):
Every day. I've already read that dad joke.

Speaker 3 (01:13:04):
Uh, well, don't read it until three o'clock. Also, if
they aren't good I'm gonna find a new one.

Speaker 5 (01:13:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:13:12):
Hey, hey, Rod, Hey, this texture said, sounds like it's
gonna be too cold for show me some stitty T
shirts this weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:13:20):
Yeah, pretty funny. People will still be wearing all the steam, sir.

Speaker 5 (01:13:23):
It's pretty funny. Did you get approved? Are we doing
that thing? Are we doing that?

Speaker 2 (01:13:26):
Still looking for approval?

Speaker 5 (01:13:27):
Okay? Yeah, yeah, Mandy, there's aluminum baking powder, Yes, there is, Mandy.

Speaker 6 (01:13:33):
Do you put any other seasonings beside salt on your wings?
Sometimes I get a little, you know, crazy. Sometimes I
add a little garlic powder, little onion powder, and if
I'm really feeling wild, I'll dust those bad boys with paprika,
I know, and black pepper, of course.

Speaker 5 (01:13:48):
I mean really, you can do anything you can. You
can season them any way you like.

Speaker 6 (01:13:51):
If you want something a little more Korean, you could
put some goat I don't know how to say it,
the goatsha jong whatever that powder, that pepper powder is.
You can do whatever you want. They're just outstanding. The
key is just letting them sit and dry.

Speaker 5 (01:14:06):
For a while on that one. Mandy.

Speaker 6 (01:14:08):
I'm a late gen X and I work tech. I
would just love to work for a company that doesn't
get acquired and lay us all off. You are, I've
heard this very same story. Mandy drags transactions over relationships.

Speaker 5 (01:14:20):
In the workplace.

Speaker 7 (01:14:21):
Right.

Speaker 6 (01:14:22):
You know, here's the thing, and this is why I
kind of love gen Z for this. I don't know
of many corporations, especially large corporations, and maybe they're out
there and I just don't know about it, but I
don't believe that there are corporations out there who view
what they do the same.

Speaker 5 (01:14:41):
Way Henry Ford did.

Speaker 6 (01:14:43):
Henry Ford, after wanting to build up all of these
you know, he created the modern assembly line, he's making
all these cars. He paid in his factories well above
what was the standard going wage there, because, as he said,
why am I going to employ people who can't afford
my product? So gen Z is looking at the landscape saying,

(01:15:05):
they're not loyal to me. Why in the world would
I be loyal to them? And I'm like, hey, you're
pretty smart, you kids. Today, forget the show, Forget this
stupid show. I want to see it because I want
to use it. All right, Oh, come on, I'm having
all kinds of fits today with the uh, with the
with the internetwebs all right now, how do people use this,

(01:15:29):
ay Rod, how do they steal it?

Speaker 2 (01:15:31):
Well, they don't steal ours. They can steal the other one,
the main.

Speaker 5 (01:15:34):
One can't steal ours.

Speaker 2 (01:15:35):
Well, ours is specific to us.

Speaker 5 (01:15:37):
You can now we made we made city the centers
join the City Park. We're in it to when it did,
in it to win it.

Speaker 6 (01:15:47):
By the way, his press conference yesterday is on the
blog today at mandy'sblog dot com.

Speaker 5 (01:15:52):
So you got that going on. Now, A couple of
things I want to talk about.

Speaker 6 (01:15:55):
If you're a fan as I am of the Great
British they show Great British Bakeoff. Excuse me, I am
devastated to announce that Preue Leith is leaving the show.
Prue is the grand Dame of The Great British Bakeoff.
But she's eighty six, so she's retiring. She isn't dying,

(01:16:16):
she is stepping away. Up to nine series and judging
more than four hundred challenges. I've decided to step down
as a judge on The Great British Bakeoff.

Speaker 5 (01:16:25):
Bakeoff has been a fabulous part of my life for
the last nine years. I've genuinely loved it and I'm
sure I'm miss working with my fellow judge Paul Allison
Nole and the Teams that Love Productions and Channel four Bomber. Somehow,
it always seems better when you say it like a
fancy French person.

Speaker 6 (01:16:46):
This next story, guys, I saw this headline and I
just h oh, America and Americans never change. Apparently, now
there are people who traveled to foreign destinations to go
visit things that frankly, I don't think are worth visiting

(01:17:09):
Costco warehouses around the world. Now, I have been in
a Costco in a foreign country, but I was in
a Costco buying supplies for a week in Mexico, not
just visiting Costco to see what people are doing there.

Speaker 5 (01:17:24):
But apparently people do.

Speaker 6 (01:17:25):
They go to Costco and they're like, look, Costco tells
you what people buy in bulk. Costco tells you more
about their culture in just a few minutes, and you
can find out by a few weeks. And maybe there's
some logic to that, but it's kind of funny to
me that people are like, Yeah, we're going on vacation
to Japan and we went and saw all of the
temples and we saw all of this cool stuff and

(01:17:47):
we loved it. But our favorite thing was Costco Tokyo.
Two married gentlemen, older gents, they prove forty five minutes
out of Paris specifically to visit the Costco in Paris.
They said they went because the wine is cheap and
it's French, which is probably true. But this is one
of those like I don't understand people who go to

(01:18:08):
a foreign country and they're like, oh my god, there's
a McDonald's, let's go eat to McDonald's.

Speaker 7 (01:18:13):
No.

Speaker 6 (01:18:14):
Now, it is interesting to look at the menu items
that they have at McDonald's there that they don't have here,
especially in Japan. They've got some crazy stuff on the
menu there. But I don't understand people who want to
go to a foreign country to then go to something
that they can get here. I have a firm rule.
If I can get it in the United States, see

(01:18:34):
it in the United States, or do it in the
United States.

Speaker 5 (01:18:36):
I am not doing it overseas. I'm not doing it
while I travel.

Speaker 6 (01:18:41):
I want culturally relevant experiences for the culture that I'm visiting.
I'm wondering this is I don't want to make it
people who I don't want to make fun of people
who have all of the Starbucks mugs, because I have
friends that go to Starbucks in foreign countries just to
get the Starbucks mug from that city, and they have
a whole collection. But really, I mean, but I'm not

(01:19:08):
a collector of things, so maybe I don't understand. To
the text, who said so, Mandy, she's been eighty six
well played restaurant humor right there, text her, well played, Mandy.
It sounds like you spent almost as much as Lebron
to keep feeling great.

Speaker 5 (01:19:22):
I'm too cheap. I guess they don't like strangers poking me.
I don't care.

Speaker 6 (01:19:28):
Oh, by the way, the wings are baked four hundred
degrees twenty minutes on the first side. Flip them over
twenty minutes on the second side, unless they're really dinky.

Speaker 5 (01:19:35):
Right, keep an eye on it. France sounds British to me.
Let's do this. Let's take a time out. When we
come back. Were at Steve and his back.

Speaker 6 (01:19:44):
We're gonna remind you of an event coming up next week,
and we're also going to talk about all kinds of
dumb stuff that I found on the internet, not the
least of which is they did a flu transmission experiment
and it failed and now I'm confused.

Speaker 5 (01:20:00):
I don't know how people get the flu. We'll explain
all this after this. Keep it on Koa.

Speaker 6 (01:20:04):
I love this website called studyfines dot org and it's
just about studies that are happening about stuff. And this
headline why a flu transmission experiment didn't.

Speaker 5 (01:20:14):
Spread the flu.

Speaker 2 (01:20:16):
So listen to this.

Speaker 6 (01:20:18):
They put a group of volunteers into a small, locked
hotel room. Some of the volunteers were perfectly well, some
were infected with the flu, and they wanted to see
how the flu was spread, so they kept him locked
in this together for several days. Now, we all know
that flus are they're spread by aerosols in the air,

(01:20:41):
and so you would expect in a small hotel room
where they had managed to keep the ventilation to a minimum,
there would be everybody would be like, I got the flu.
Now none of the well people got the flu, none
of them, not, just like oh only a couple, No, none, zero, zip,
not a zilch.

Speaker 5 (01:21:00):
What I love about this is when they try to
explain what this is. I mean, because basically we're like, okay,
pretty much everything we know about the.

Speaker 6 (01:21:09):
Flu just flew out the window because nobody got the flu. Now,
researchers had reasons for this. They suggest that low virus
shedding from the donors, partial immunity among recipients, and the
way the air circulated in the room kind of makes
getting the flu seem like less of a certain deal, right,
I mean, feel like you got a chance there. Now,

(01:21:32):
what I would have loved for them to add into
this like give a little wrinkle, have everybody who was
in there well avoid washing their hands, Have them spend
the day in the room, whatever, how everybody. Don't let
them wash their hands and then tell them to go
off out their business. I bet they get the flu then.
I'm telling you, you don't want to get sick.

Speaker 5 (01:21:52):
Wash your hands.

Speaker 6 (01:21:55):
It's really a huge part of not getting sick is
washing your hands like you're about to go in surgery
as often as possible.

Speaker 5 (01:22:03):
There, that's your message for the day. Now, what we
are talking about is having Brit Steven back on the show.
Welcome back to the show, Britt.

Speaker 6 (01:22:10):
Hello, thank you you were here not too long ago
to talk about your upcoming event.

Speaker 5 (01:22:14):
Not till now, which I love the name.

Speaker 6 (01:22:17):
For people who didn't necessarily hear the first interview, tell
people what you're doing at the.

Speaker 5 (01:22:20):
Lakewood Cultural It's the Lakewood Cultural Center, is that right?

Speaker 3 (01:22:23):
Yep?

Speaker 5 (01:22:23):
Okay?

Speaker 11 (01:22:24):
On January twenty eighth, yep, the debut of Not Till
Now is happening. It's an event where first take the
stage and there will be eleven people myself included, doing
something they've never done before. There's gonna be speaking, first
time speaking, first time stand up, first time sharing a
story that has been held for years. I'm gonna be

(01:22:45):
doing the moonwalk in front of an audience for the
first time.

Speaker 7 (01:22:48):
So that'll be.

Speaker 6 (01:22:49):
But how did you choose the moonwalk as your area
of expression? I mean, if we're gonna do if we're
gonna do something where you know you're gonna like respond
in interpretive day, why the moonwalk?

Speaker 11 (01:23:01):
Well, so I actually didn't have it planned until we
were doing rehearsal.

Speaker 12 (01:23:05):
I came out dancing.

Speaker 11 (01:23:07):
Because that is what I'm going to do, and then
all of a sudden, I'm like, I took off my
boots and just started doing the moonwalk, and I don't
know it's I.

Speaker 6 (01:23:14):
Can only do it with socks on, so well, I
can't do it at all, and I've been trying since
Michael Jackson did it in the eighties.

Speaker 5 (01:23:21):
I still can't moonwalk. And now this new thing.

Speaker 6 (01:23:24):
Where they the kids look like they're running on air,
I can't do that either.

Speaker 5 (01:23:27):
Yeah, I don't know what it is like.

Speaker 6 (01:23:29):
I can't get my feet to talk to my head
to talk to my feet on stuff like that. So
we talked before about how this all came about, and
I got to tell you, it's like shades of you know,
back in those old, old, old old movies with Mickey
Rooney and Judy Garland, and.

Speaker 5 (01:23:43):
They would be like two young kids and they'd be like,
we've got a problem, and what should we do? Wait,
you put on a show? And then that's like the
whole movie is then putting on a show.

Speaker 6 (01:23:52):
The entire theme of White Christmas. My favorite Christmas movie is.

Speaker 5 (01:23:56):
Let's put on a show.

Speaker 6 (01:23:58):
I don't think people necessary jump to putting on a
show as an answer to their problems anymore, right, Yet
here we are, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:24:06):
Yeah, I am.

Speaker 1 (01:24:08):
You know.

Speaker 11 (01:24:08):
So I have been hosting I've been hosting an annual
event called Moms on the Mic, where women get up
and some of them speak for the first time, and
some of them come up for an open mic moment
as well, and so over these last three years, I've
been watching these women speak for the first time, and
there's just something so breathtaking about watching someone in their

(01:24:30):
first and ever since the first Moms on the MIC,
I've been thinking about getting everyone in a room, no
matter what gender, no matter what role they have, and
having them all witness each other and just be able
to be themselves.

Speaker 5 (01:24:45):
And so here we are.

Speaker 7 (01:24:48):
Now.

Speaker 6 (01:24:48):
You guys have been doing rehearsals. You just said rehearsal,
So how's everybody coming along a right? Is everybody getting
you know, like getting their stuff done?

Speaker 5 (01:24:57):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (01:24:57):
Yeah, no, uh. We rehearsed in the VA you a
few days after Christmas when everyone was still putting their
stuff together. So it was it was really funny to
be under the spotlight, you know, with something that wasn't
totally polished.

Speaker 12 (01:25:10):
But that is totally what the events are going to
be too.

Speaker 6 (01:25:13):
But that's even better though, because I do think that
when you and this is just my experience doing shows
and being in plays and stuff like that, when you
do those first few run throughs when everything isn't done
and you're not off book, you haven't memorized your stuff,
you haven't finished your stuff, it is it makes it
seem real in a way that inspires you to work

(01:25:34):
hard to get to the final product.

Speaker 5 (01:25:35):
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 12 (01:25:36):
Oh yeah, yeah for sure, Yeah, I definitely.

Speaker 11 (01:25:38):
And there's so much that goes into this stuff that
people don't even realize, like just the time that it takes.
You know, I'm going to be wearing a disco helmet
and I didn't even realize that, you know, the silence
that will be there when I'm taking it off and
setting it down on the on the bar.

Speaker 6 (01:25:54):
Solectly does a disco helmet look like, brit I'm not
familiar with the cons You have to have a disco helmet?

Speaker 5 (01:26:01):
Is that so you don't hurt yourself doing the hustle?
What is that?

Speaker 11 (01:26:04):
It's a motorcycle helmet with the mirrored material that I
bought off of Etsy because I was originally going to
come out as an astronaut. But that's a whole other thing. Yeah,
But then I came across this thing. I'm like, Okay,
this is good. I can breathe in this, you know,
because the astronaut costume I could not breathe in.

Speaker 6 (01:26:21):
But yeah, I'm just going to say this, if you
were not intrigued by not till now, until now you
now know that at some point for it was considering
an astronaut costume. So really it's kind of anything goes
that we have a pair of tickets to give away.

Speaker 5 (01:26:36):
One pair of tickets.

Speaker 6 (01:26:36):
There're only like thirty tickets left, which is amazing for
something of this sort of you know, chaotic nature and
unprecedented nature. I guess I should say we have a
pair of tickets. If you want to enter for the
pair of tickets, you have to text us the most
exciting thing that you ever did for the first time
that is not sexual.

Speaker 5 (01:26:57):
Because I know that you twisted people in this.

Speaker 6 (01:27:00):
Listening audience will send me about being in the backseat
of the car. I don't want to hear about that.
I just want to hear about the thing that you did,
like the coolest thing you did for the first time
that is not about sex. Text us with your name
at five six six nine. Now I have one one
of the coolest things I've ever gotten to do. We
talked about this before. I have no fear of public speaking,

(01:27:20):
never have, even as a kid. Put me in front
of a room, I'm good, I'm fine. But in two
thousand and eight, I was pregnant with my daughter during
the presidential campaign and Sarah Palin was coming to town
and they called me and said, hey, would you MC
this rally for Sarah Palin? And I was kind of
agnostic on the Sarah Palin as a human being, but

(01:27:43):
I wanted to meet her. And I was like, you know,
because I'm a big believer in meeting politicians in real life,
so you can kind of get.

Speaker 5 (01:27:48):
A vibe for him, you know what I mean. So
I was really excited I was going to.

Speaker 6 (01:27:51):
Meet Sarah Palin and I was going to be speaking
in front of about ten thousand people, which was the
most people I'd ever been in front of at one time.

Speaker 3 (01:27:57):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (01:27:58):
And I got to tell you, I.

Speaker 6 (01:28:00):
Freaking loved it because so many of them were my
listeners because Southwestward is so conservative, so there was a
lot of crossover there. And when you sit in a
room by yourself and talk to one person or no
one sometimes for three hours, you forget what that human
interaction is A house is like, you forget like the
energy that you get.

Speaker 5 (01:28:20):
From the audience. I absolutely loved it.

Speaker 6 (01:28:23):
I've never had the chance to speak as in front
of as many people again. I hope to do it
again at some point, but that whole experience was one
thing that I would absolutely do again. Even though I
did not get to meet Sarah Palin.

Speaker 5 (01:28:36):
I'm here for two hours.

Speaker 6 (01:28:38):
I was with the crowd for two hours, and then
right before she was supposed to come on, they literally
like shuffled me out the back door.

Speaker 5 (01:28:44):
The Secret Service did oh no, like dang it, of course,
dang it. Eh, William Bob sledded. That's kind of Cooloo. Yeah,
I want to ask you this and how much of
this is this is you.

Speaker 6 (01:29:03):
Cheerleading and coaching and try to help the people that
are going to get on stage for the first time
to get over their fears, because isn't this kind of
a fear based exercise a little bit?

Speaker 11 (01:29:13):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, there's been. There's been a lot
of text messages, a lot of encouragement. It's it is funny,
but a lot of the men are like, oh, we're good,
we got this, and the and the women are like, oh,
help me, help me, help me, which is it's so
interesting because this is my first time putting on a
show with men, and but then of course like they're

(01:29:34):
one of them. Said today, They're like, I am more
nervous about because we're doing a second run through this Saturday,
which just us.

Speaker 12 (01:29:40):
And he's like, I'm more nervous about that at this
point than I am the show.

Speaker 11 (01:29:44):
And I'm like, I know, because it is harder to
do this in front of, you know, a small group
or in front of people that you know, Like, that's
been a hard thing too. Some of these really experienced
speakers are sharing a story they have not shared before,
and there they don't even really want people they know
very well to be in the audience in case they
like crash and burn like that.

Speaker 12 (01:30:04):
It's so interesting to me, Well, you.

Speaker 6 (01:30:07):
Know, the fear of public speaking is deeply entrenched to
you know, for many many people. Again I don't understand
it because I have.

Speaker 5 (01:30:15):
None of that. I just I just don't.

Speaker 6 (01:30:17):
But there's also something so incredibly powerful and beautiful in
going full bore at something that scares you just about
to death, you know what I mean. And the good
news is is that whatever happens next Thursday night at
the lakew With Cultural Center Wednesday, no Wednesday night, excuse me,
no one's gonna die, right, Like, no one's dying from

(01:30:39):
this It's simply an opportunity for people to experience something
they've never done before.

Speaker 5 (01:30:46):
Are you Are there any that you're like this one
is going to be an absolute like gonna crush it?

Speaker 6 (01:30:53):
Do you have like what you in your mind maybe
the stars that are potentially sort of you know, purpolate
on the surface.

Speaker 12 (01:31:01):
I don't, And I mean this. I totally mean this.
I feel like they are all going to crush it.

Speaker 9 (01:31:06):
I really do.

Speaker 12 (01:31:07):
Yeah, I'm so excited. I really do mean that.

Speaker 5 (01:31:11):
So what are what is everybody doing?

Speaker 6 (01:31:13):
Like, give me kind of an over not not specifics,
of course, but you have speakers who are telling a
story they've never told before. My realtor, Ed Prater is
going to be on the stage to tell a story I've.

Speaker 5 (01:31:23):
Never heard before. Yeah, and Ed you may not know this,
but Ed was born with.

Speaker 6 (01:31:27):
One eye, and you it's as absolutely no impact on
how he does his job or anything. But I don't
write a story, So I'm kind of fascinating to hear that.
What are the other things that are going.

Speaker 5 (01:31:40):
To be happening?

Speaker 11 (01:31:41):
Oh yeah, so but Ed's going to be doing stand
up comedy for the first time and telling stories about
living with one I and they are funny.

Speaker 12 (01:31:48):
I cannot wait for that.

Speaker 11 (01:31:50):
And then Naha Manhani She's falling in from California. She's
going to be talking about overcoming this like freak illness
that she had, and then how in her healing she
had the idea to.

Speaker 12 (01:32:01):
Finally write a book.

Speaker 11 (01:32:02):
And then Kaitlyn Smith's going to be talking about her
recent diagnosis with ADHD and how she is rediscovering who
she is now.

Speaker 12 (01:32:11):
And we're going to have Josh Schuman.

Speaker 11 (01:32:14):
He is a visual effects artist, but he is creating
his first documentary ever, his first thing from start to
finish that he's wanted to do since he was a kid,
about his experience with the Foo Fighters.

Speaker 5 (01:32:27):
That's a cool experience.

Speaker 11 (01:32:28):
Yeah, so's he's got he's a super fan and he's
got all these stories that people have always said, like,
you got to make a documentary.

Speaker 12 (01:32:35):
So he's finally doing that.

Speaker 5 (01:32:36):
And now are any older folks Do you have any
folks that are maybe over.

Speaker 11 (01:32:41):
Sixty or getting close there? Yeah, yeah, we got we
got Liz. She's going to be talking about midlife and
a whole story about her relationship with her breasts, a whole.

Speaker 5 (01:32:53):
I mean, yes, get to know her.

Speaker 9 (01:32:56):
There, you go.

Speaker 6 (01:32:58):
The reason I asked that is that I've been watching
this woman who keeps popping up on my algorithms, and
she is a hospice nurse, okay, and she talks a
lot about end of life experiences and how people die
and what she's learned in twenty years as a hospice nurse.
And the number one thing over and over and over
again in these videos is you know what, people on
their deathbed only talk about the things they didn't do. Yeah,

(01:33:21):
And so you don't want to go through life having
a life of regret, right, You don't want to go back.
And there are things I will tell you. I mean,
there's things I wish I had done differently. And I
think that's different than saying.

Speaker 5 (01:33:31):
Oh, I regret that.

Speaker 6 (01:33:32):
It's like, ah, cop probably could have handled that a
little bit better than I handled it. But I never
want to look back and go, man, I never should have.

Speaker 5 (01:33:40):
Left that on the table. And I think that's part
of what this is, what not till now is all about.

Speaker 11 (01:33:45):
Yes, yes, And it's also one of those oh gosh,
I'm like having like a moment, I like blanking out
because I'm just so excited about it.

Speaker 6 (01:33:58):
But it's it's all so oh man, Oh no, it's okay.
It's just this is the kind of stuff that I
always encourage people. When I turned forty, I made forty
my year of Yes Yes. Where whatever I got invited
to do, I did it, and some of it I
absolutely hated. I'm not gonna lie I really hated it.
But now I can say, oh, I've repelled down a
giant skyscraper. I've done these things, so I know the

(01:34:19):
things I don't ever want to do again, but without
saying yes, without saying not.

Speaker 5 (01:34:23):
Till now I said no. But now I'm saying yes,
let's do this.

Speaker 6 (01:34:27):
I have a link to buy tickets to the event
next Wednesday night at the Lakewood Cultural Center. You can
find that on the blog at mandy'sblog dot com. But
we're gonna rip through these very quickly. But it's so
hard to decide who wins. So just get ready because
we have to decide who wins. I'm gonna read these
very quickly. Adam flying overseas to meet a girl I
met online. Oh, at age sixty four, I ziplined in Jamaica,

(01:34:49):
even though I'm terrified of heights.

Speaker 5 (01:34:51):
That from Barbara Hey, Mandy I'm Audrey.

Speaker 6 (01:34:54):
And I went ziplining for the first time at fifty five,
so afraid of heights, but loved it and pro out
of myself for conquering my fears. Hey, Mandy, one time,
in the back of a car, I decided to take
a speech class.

Speaker 5 (01:35:05):
As a freshman with all seniors. You want to talk
about deathly fear.

Speaker 6 (01:35:09):
Brian says, I valet parked an ambulance and they told
me not to turn on the lights or sirens, but
I did anyway, did my solo flight, proud and scared.
Brandon Miller says, I went and participated in a random
modeling edition off of Facebook. They actually picked me, but
I couldn't afford the trip to California for the show.

Speaker 5 (01:35:30):
Went to my first.

Speaker 6 (01:35:31):
Broncos game at the old Mile High Stadium and did
