Speaker 3 (00:14):
FM, god Way, they three, Mandy Connell, Keith sad bab Welcome, Vocal.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
Welcome to a Monday edition of the show. We've got
a slightly shortened show by baseball, just two hours. But
that's okay. I'm here your host, Mandy Connell, not Mandy McConnell,
not Mindy Connall, not Mindy McConnell, just Mandy Connall, Randy Cromwell,
stop it, you're not helping Anthony Rodriguez we call him

(00:47):
a rod He's over there as well. And we will
take you right through the busy broadcast day until two
o'clock when Rocky's Baseball takes over Tomorrow. Almost the whole
show's eaten by cu Buff's basketball. They are playing in
the tournament, trying to get into the big tourney, so
we will wish them well, but it's going to be
a crazy couple of days. I just want to share
something before I jump into the blog. Anthony, do you

(01:10):
know what I just did to log into my Facebook
account here on a work computer that shared by other people.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
You did double authentication, two step authentication.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
And I say this because over the weekend, yet another
friends I've now had three friends in the past ten
days have their face and all it is is they
use a password cracker. They break your password, They then
change the password and your email on your account, and
then the hackers have access to your account and you
don't now. The first one I told you guys about

(01:41):
was they posted this giant fake sale where all of
this stuff was listed at rock bottom prices that were
so absurdly low that I knew immediately it was a scam.
But someone else didn't know it was a scam and
managed to give them thirty thousand dollars before finding out
they were scammers. This past week, two separate Facebook friends
fell prey to an even more sophisticated scam. This one

(02:05):
was passwords stole in. They take over your Facebook page
and then they post something along these lines. Hey guys,
I have been I am now after twenty four months
of study, I am now a crypto broker. I've been
keeping this quiet as I went through this process. It
was an extremely rigorous certification process. Send me a message
if you want information about crypto but they tag another

(02:30):
person to give it legitimacy. Hey, after talking to my
buddy Eric for X amount of weeks, I decided to
go all in on crypto. I've invested two hundred and
eighty five thousand dollars of my own money in this.
Scammers are getting so sophisticated. I have a story on
the blog today about an absolute scumbag who stole a
woman's life savings by convincing her that her bank account

(02:54):
had been compromised. She needed to take all of her
money out, buy gold bars and give them to a
random dude in a parking lot. Now, when I sing
it like that, you think to yourself, how could she
have fallen for that? But trust me, these scammers are
incredibly sophisticated. We really need to be talking to our
elderly folks, not because I think they're stupid or they're

(03:17):
not capable of understanding, but I will tell you technology
has blown past them and what they have, what scammers
and hackers have the ability to do, is crazy, absolutely crazy.
My mom did not fall prey to it, but but
kind of got down the rabbit hole with some scammers

(03:38):
who popped up one of those pop up windows. In
our computer. Your computer has been compromised. Called Microsoft at
this number. And she called Microsoft and when the Indian
guy on the other send of the line kept telling
her she needed to buy gift cards and send them,
she was like, yeah, no. But older folks who are
not comfortable with computers don't understand how it works. They

(04:00):
can be very easily scared by this stuff. Especially I think.
I think the higher level job someone had in their
working lives can often make them more susceptible to being
ripped off because they're used to performing at an extremely
high level. And these scammers are so sophisticated. So please,

(04:23):
for the love of all, that's totally put on two
step authentication on your social media pages. It's a pain, yes,
I know, but it's so necessary unless unless you want
your account used to steal money from the people that
you care about who are friends of yours on your
Facebook or your Instagram page. And it just takes a

(04:45):
minute to set up. It's in the privacy check portion
on Facebook. I haven't looked to see where it is
on Instagram. But take a minute, y'all, just take a minute.
It can save you so much frustration, aggravation, and potentially
lots of loss money the people in your friend.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Group botus tip. I just went through and made sure
I did. I was like ninety nine point nine percent
sure I did. It is kind of paying the butt
to find. So when you go to the privacy portion
on Facebook, hmm, there's a search bar in the settings.
Literally type out factor facto R two factor author immediately
bring you out.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
It'll bring you right to it.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yeah, so it's kind of hard to find. Well, just
do it, you guys, Just do it, because I I
would feel terrible if any of the elderly people that
were on my Facebook page, and there are numerous got
scammed and lost money because of something I did, you
know what I mean, or didn't do when I could
have easily taken care of that. Yes, I have two

(05:40):
steps on both of mine, so I'm good. Of course,
you can't log into anything without your phone, but whatever,
it's fine, it's fine, don't worry about it. Let's do
the blog, Anthony. You can find the blog by going
to mandy'sblog dot com. That's mandy'sblog dot com. Look for

up my Instagram page just to make sure I had
the two step notification on. And by the way, when
you have the apps on your phone, it doesn't affect anything.
You'll always stay logged in on your phone. Right, that's

(07:42):
not a big deal. Just when you go to a
computer and pull it up. And the first post that
I have is Britney Spears dancing around. I follow Britney
Spears just so when I see stuff like this, I'm like,
should we have an intervention? Should we? I mean, do
you think we as a society should just get together

(08:02):
and you know, just help Britney out. If there ever
was a case for against child stardom Britney Spears is it. Now.
We've got a bunch of stuff on the blog today.
We've got our friends from Kofa, Colorado. We've got Leslie
and Mike coming on at one o'clock. We got another
kids shoot this weekend. No, we're not shooting kids. That
would be bad and against the law. No, this is

(08:26):
another opportunity for kids to come out and learn how
to shoot be beguns at paper targets. This is the
ham shoot because we're coming up on Easter and we're
gonna talk to them at one o'clock about that. In
the meantime, let's start the conversation with the most important
story of the day. Who among us is tired today
because of the time change? Anyone else?

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (08:47):
And Rod and I are both raising.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Our hands the hardest get out of beds. Yeah, and
I got back.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
I flew to dight In this weekend to see my grandkids,
who are the best grandkids. I just want to throw
that out there. I'm sure grandkids are sweet and everything,
but mine are the best grandkids. If we're fighting about it.
So I flew in last night very late, and then
I got home very late, and then I tried to
have you ever tried to like rush in from somewhere
and then get ready for bed really fast and then

(09:13):
lie down like you're gonna fall asleep and any you know,
anytime soon, you know, you're like, I'll just get ready
for bed and I'll just jump in bed. And then
you're like, no, I'm not gonna fall asleep. That was
me last night, But luckily woke up in my same
time every day as I do because I have what
I have learned to be called a hard inner clock.

(09:36):
Now I've told you guys about this many many times
that you know, for some of you, you people, and
I'm gonna call you you people, and I hope you
hear the disdain in my voice when I talk about
those people. You've seen those people who like lie down
and within I don't know, three minutes, they're just asleep,
and they sleep like the dead the entire night. If
you're one of those people, I don't like you. I mean,

(09:59):
you may be nice other but I don't like you
just for that, because that is not me. However, I
wake up at the exact same time every single day,
and that time is now six am. It was five am,
and I found out I have a more rigid internal clock.

(10:20):
That's a name for it, an actual name for it.
Now I want to play what Donald Trump said about
the time change, because this one sound white encapsulates why
we are stuck with the situation that we have right now.
And hang on, I got to actually open TikTok to

(10:40):
make a play. Hang on one second, let me pull
this back when.

Speaker 5 (10:43):
You go to get rid of Okay, are you ready?

Speaker 4 (10:47):
So this should be the easiest one of all.

Speaker 6 (10:49):
But it's a fifty to fifty issue, and if something's
a fifty to fifty issue, it's hard to get excited
about it. I assume people would like to have more
light later, but some people want to have more light earlier.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Because they don't want to take their kids to school
in the dark.

Speaker 6 (11:07):
And it's very much it's a little bit one way,
but it's very much a fifty to fifty issue, and
it's something I can do. But a lot of people
like it one way, a lot of people.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Like it the other way.

Speaker 6 (11:18):
It's very even, and usually I find when that's the case,
what else do we have to do?

Speaker 4 (11:24):
He's absolutely right. The problem is we can't decide whether
or not to stay on daylight saving time, which is
what we are now in, or stay in standard time.
And the problem is there's not enough light in winter. Okay,
let's just let's go to the root cause of this issue.
The issue is the people who want to stay on

(11:46):
standard time. They want they don't want to have to
get up and go to work in the dark. And
I get it, I really get it.

Speaker 6 (11:53):
I do.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
But right now I'm coming to work in the light,
and I'm going to bed, I'm going home in the dark.
So it really depends on would you rather have light
in the morning while you're driving to work and doing
nothing else for the most part, or would you like
to have light in the afternoon when you would actually
maybe have a chance to do something in the afternoon
on a nice day, when there's still a little bit

(12:15):
of dusk left around when you get home from work.
I am firmly in the daylight saving time camp, and
I've been wishing washing about this for years because I'm like, look,
can we just pick I am making the case to
stay on daylight saving time. I don't care if it's
dark longer in the morning, because guess what, we don't
have that much light in the winter anyway. I don't care.

(12:35):
Kids can go to school in the dark. I don't
care they're going to be in the classrooms. I don't care.
It's fine. I understand they're waiting for buses. Give them
flash lights because guess what they were in the dark
today at the bus stop, standing out there in the dark.
So here's what I want to do. I figured we
would just use the Mandy Connell audience to make the

(12:58):
case for both sides of this issue. And we can
do it on the Common Spirit Health text line. You
can text me at five sixty six nine. Oh okay.
So we are going to decide we're going to use
the Mandy Connell audience as the focus group for this issue,
and we are going to go ahead and figure out
which is superior and why. And please, I don't want

(13:20):
to hear about ski reason the way scout w ad.
I don't care. They can adjust their hours. Here's the thing. Like,
if you're in construction and in the winter, you have
to be at work at seven o'clock because that's when
it gets light. Guess what, you can go to work
at eight o'clock when it gets light. Like we all
act like that we've locked in these times and they're

(13:41):
written in stone, like the tablets that Moses came down
the mountain. We can change the time that people who
are weather and outside dependent show up and leave work
right because in the winter they don't work nearly as
long as they do in the summer. In the summer
they're out there till eight thirty or nine, sometimes slinging hammers.
We've got to figure this out. We really we cannot

(14:01):
split the difference. We're not gonna split to the half hour.
We're not doing that. Okay, here we go, five, six, six, nine. Oh,
make your arguments. Don't just say one or the other.
Tell me why. I want to know why. So there
you go. Let's see here going down for this. U

(14:24):
truly love you and the show. But can you not
say scrolling? Scrolling? I have got to tell you something, Texter.
I have now had a cavalcade, a veritable like flood
of listeners who tell me how much they enjoy when
I say scrolling scrolling, because they're scrolling on their phones

(14:45):
at the same time. So no, I will not and
I am actually scrolling. I'm not just saying it. I'm
sort of filling time, but I'm also telling you what
I'm actually doing. Because when there's a lot of videos
embedded in the blog, or there's a lot of words
embedded in the blog, between headlines. I too have to
scroll down to get to the proper place, So no,
I will not stop strengths scrolling, Mandy. I'm an extreme

(15:07):
night owl. Daylight savings year round, Mandy. What good does
it serve anyone to have a sunrise at four point
thirty am in June. Nobody's getting up to take advantage.
That's a fine point, although I listener will probably be
up if that's the case. Schools can adjust their hours too,
Yes they can, Yes, they can, Mandy. Instead of just

(15:31):
trying to fix the daylight saving time problem, it would
probably be easier for NASA to just fix Earth's stupid
tilt so that the days don't get shorter. I thoroughly
second permanent daylight saving time, Mandy. The school children argument
is a false flag. Start school a little later DSD forever. Yes, yes, Mandy.

(15:51):
I don't care which time standard is. Just stick to it,
no more time changes erg. Yes, Mandy's standard all the way.
I wake up early anyway. I like to go to
sleep in the dark, and I hate going to sleep
all uh uh oh, that just a lol. It doesn't
work like that in construction.

Speaker 3 (16:09):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
I'm just based on the construction that goes around around
my neighborhood. They've been building a neighborhood for like four
years now. So I walked through the neighborhood first thing
in the morning in the summer, and I'm the only
one there. And then I walked through it at night
and they're still all there. Just move the tropics, length
of day hardly changes throughout the year. Then you know,
how would those categories be for people who like making

(16:32):
the change? Oh dang, you guys are kind I got
to turn off my how fasted updates because I can't
get them all here.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Okay, just go through the text, scrolling, scrolling, Well, they're coming.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
In so fast and furious. I'll get to more of
these on the other side, because some of these are
very very good.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Trying to scroll.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
L ay Rod and I are we firmly in the
daylight saving time camp? Is that where we are like
this time, this time late and we get more sun
in the afternoon.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, I like the morning in the dark. It's cool.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
All right, there you go. We'll be right back with
more of your commentary on this right after this. First
of all, I want to share a little bit of
the health impact. Someone just hit the text line and said, Mandy.
For someone who travels all the time, who constantly travels,
you sure seem obsessed with the time change. Time zones
are the death of me. They truly are. And it's

(17:21):
the biggest struggle I have when I travel. It's why
when I'm going to Japan this summer, I took extra
time off after the after the trip, to just have
a weekend to recover. I took an extra day so
I could just have a weekend to recover, because that
is the hardest thing about travel. But that's necessary if
I want to see the world. This stupid time change
is voluntary. We do it to ourselves. Listen to this.

(17:46):
According to a twenty twenty study published in the Plos
Computational bio Biology Journal, researchers found four prominent elevated risk
clusters associated with time changes that occurring November at March, cardiova,
vascular diseases, injuries, mental and behavioral disorders, and immune related
diseases such as colitis and inflammation of the colon. While

(18:09):
the majority of disease risk elevations were relatively modest, only
a few percentage points higher than normal, some negative health
effects spiked up to ten percent. The study estimated that
each spring shift was associated with one hundred and fifty
thousand incidences of negative health effects in the US alone

(18:29):
eight hundred and eighty thousand globally. Studies show a twenty
four percent rise in heart attacks on the Monday following
the transition. There's an elevated risk of strokes during this period. Additionally,
car accidents increased by about six percent in the week
after the time change, resulting in more fatal crashes. These
risks are attributed to sleep deprivations, circadian misalignment, and environmental changes.

(18:52):
The effects are most pronounced in the week following the
time change, with some impacts lasting up to two weeks.
So I asked you what should we be doing here,
and you have delivered on the text line Mandy, I'm
on daylight saving time for it gives people that own
farm animals to work with them, and also it will
keep the animals on a standard time when they eat

(19:14):
or they don't understand daylight saving time, just saying yeah,
my dog doesn't understand daylight saving time, not at all.
In case you missed it, we are actually on so
called standard for fewer months than we're on non standard,
which brings us to point number two. In the seventies,
we went full time to daylight saving time. Yep. It's

(19:34):
favorability quickly took a turn for the worse, and the
crescendo from the public undid the change just ten months
due to many areas of the country experiencing sunrise at
eight thirty am or later, which caused general discontent from
the public. That's on daylight saving time, so it's not

(19:56):
you know, this is why they haven't done it. Love
your show. The ultimate compromise. Split the difference, go to
half hour between and leave it. Many time zones like
Newfoundland are half hour off the maintime zones and you
would never know you're a half hour off. You're welcome
from Kelly, Mandy. If you want to get more done
before nine am, join the army dst all the way.

(20:20):
I'll take that, Mandy. I would prefer regular time. I
want my house to have an extra hour to cool
off before I go to sleep. That would save money
on your energy. Villain, reduce the time you run your
air conditioner, not me. I run my air conditioner all
summer long. I'm determined to enstroy the environment, just with
my air conditioner, Mandy in the morning. In the world
of morning people versus night owls, only the morning people

(20:42):
are awake for the early morning, but almost everyone is
awake for the evening hours. Therefore, it's simple DST gives
everyone more daylight. Why standard time gives only morning people
more daylight, So DST is generally better. Toda to da, Mandy.
I'm on team daylight savings time. There's only school for

(21:03):
another six weeks. Nobody takes their kid to school in
during the summertime, anyway, more daylight for activities. You know
the thing, the school thing only matters in standard time, right, Well, no,
I guess so daylight saying yeah, I mean it would
matter over the winter because it would be getting dark
much much later. This text line overwhelming in favor of

(21:24):
daylight saving time. I'm just gonna let you know because
I'm looking at it right now. But the reality is,
let me pull this up, pulling on DST or standard time,
And this is what Donald Trump was referring to. Oh
dang it, I pulled up the wrong thing. Hey, one second.

(21:48):
More than half in the US want daylight saving time
sunset it about half prefer standard time fifty four percent
said they want to stay on standard time. Forty percent
of US adults say they're in favor of daylight saving time.
Six percent. Well, they don't leave their houses, so they
don't know. So this is why they haven't taken action,

(22:11):
because it would be immediately hated by half the country. Mandy,
I love listening to people try to correct problems or
fixed problems people create. Correct this textra said, it takes
me weeks to get used to daylight saving time. Oh preach,
sister or brother. I'm right there with you. You know why,
because we have rigid internal clocks. Some people adjust easily.

(22:36):
I do not, do not, but yeah, this is a problem.
I mean, you've heard the old adage that Native Americans say,
only the white man could cut a foot off a
blanket on one side, sew it onto the other side,
and think he made a longer blanket. I mean, it's true, right,
we still have the same amount of time with light.
It's just weird you want it to be, Mandy. I

(22:58):
get up at two fifteen AM and I can't stand
daylight saving time. Textor I just want to say I
have so much compassion for you getting up at two
fifteen in the morning. Because when I did a morning show,
I got up at three and people would say, Wow,
what time do you get up in the morning. I'm like,
I get up last night. At getting up for a
morning show. You're not getting up early in the morning.

(23:19):
You are getting up the night before. And it's not
like I've worked a straight midnight shift where I was
on from midnight to six. I did. I produced a
talk show from midnight to six that no, a rod's
shaking and said, no, but a rod At least that way,
you're completely upside down, so you're sleeping in the middle
of the day, but you're working in the middle of
the night. Somehow that was easier for me than getting

(23:41):
up and doing a morning show schedule.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Somehow.

Speaker 4 (23:44):
Well, it was not my favorite, although I will say
that talk show was the most fun I have ever
had in radio in my life because it was in
safe Harbor and crazy stuff went down, Like stuff's so
crazy I can't even tell tell you it on the
radio because it would get our FCC license pulled. And
I'm not exaggerating crazy stuff. I should just write a

(24:08):
little booklet, not a whole book, just a booklet on
the stuff I saw on that show. Let's just say this.
I was a pure little angel before I started on
that show. That show corrupted me made me into the
person that I am today. I should be grateful, Mandy.
In my opinion, we should be on standard time. We
did that since the beginning of this nation, all the
way back up until the fifties. I believe during wartime.

(24:31):
If we're going to do this back and forth we're
having an argument, why don't we just go to Greenwich
meantime and be.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Done with it.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
The whole world uses it, so why shouldn't we. I'm
gonna be perfectly frank when I say Greenwich meantime plus
minus that all confuses the crap out of me. Just
confuses the crap out of me, This person says succinctly,
society's a bunch of whining cissies. Correct, but some of
us have legitimate wines where other people do not. Mandy

(25:02):
leland vinnered on News Nation, called it what it really is,
daylight shifting time. There's no saving anywhere. It's called daylight
saving time, not savings, but daylight saving time. Because it
was originally lofted, this idea of changing the clocks has
been around for centuries. Ben Franklin suggested this back in

(25:22):
the day, one of our founding fathers. He was one
of the ones that said we should shift the clocks
and make it so we have more time in the afternoon.
It was a dumb idea then, it's a dumb idea now.
But back when they instituted it during wartime, they did
it because they figured in the nine to five society
we had back in the nineteen forties, people would go
to the office and they would work, so they wanted
to They posited it anyway that if they shifted the clocks,

(25:45):
then people would not be in the office and have
to use artificial lighting as often. Ben Franklin was trying
to save people candlelight. But it's never done what it
was intended to do. It's one of those things. It's
like socialism. The idea sounds amazing, but human beings are
not made to do this. We are made to have
our circadian rhythms, be stable, be reliable, be attached to

(26:09):
the sun. Again, I don't care which way we go,
do not care. We just gotta pick something. I mean,
we gotta pick something, Mandy, where's that one right there?
Internal clock struggles, but you have no trouble going to
different time zones for the weekend. Oh no, my friend,

(26:30):
I have trouble. I have a lot of trouble. I
just choose to pretend like it doesn't matter because I
am a professional most of the time. We'll be right back, Mandy.
I look forward to twice a year having you go ballistic,
pure entertainment. I'm glad my pain makes you happy. I

(26:53):
would ask a question of my listening audience that has
nothing to do with daylight saving time. So, and I
probably shouldn't do this because this is an advertiser, but
I'm going to have any of you ever used to
date my age app or website because I have found
those commercials to be super creepy. I don't know about you, guys,
And don't get me wrong, there's a lot of people

(27:14):
that are older that would love to have a website
where they could go and meet people and have quality relationships.
There's something about this one that seems thanky to me,
and I'm wondering if any of you have any experience
with that app. If you do, I would love to
hear about it. I would love to hear about it, because,
as I said, I was gonna look for a mole.

(27:34):
I was gonna have one of you folks out there
sign up for it so I could find out, because
I mean, obviously I'm a happily married woman. I don't
want Chuck to get the wrong age. And I already
tease him about the fact that I am never dated
a dude as old as that. You know, date an
old man. He's sixty for crime and he's sake, holy cow,

(27:55):
twenty five year old Nandy's horrified. Of course, I'm fifty five,
so it all works. But you know what I mean.
But I'm just curious if any of you had used
it because their business model. I just looked it up
a little while ago. It seems very strange, and it's
it's part of my you know, I want everybody to
be happily coupled up. I really do. I love being married.

(28:18):
I love my relationship with my husband. I love that guy,
and I want everybody to have that. Eight Rod and
Joscelyn his wife, very happy young couple. I want young
people to have that as well. So it's like, what
can we do? And every time I hear something like that,
I think, are they really helping people find love or

(28:39):
or not?

Speaker 1 (28:39):
What we can do here in this market here in
the next probably six months, is watch When Love Is
Blind is in Denver next season?

Speaker 4 (28:47):
Oh no way.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
They just finished season eight in Minneapolis and it was
actually really funny Denver Bronco Alex Singleton. They did a
little handoff from one Vikings player like through the torch
and Alex Singleton. That's what the Broncos because it's coming
to Denver. And if you've ever watched ye.

Speaker 4 (29:03):
People don't see each other, right, yes.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
You don't see each other.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
You go in the pods and they date through a
wall and then they one proposes, and then they see
each other and then they go on a honeymoon.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
And then they have to get married in like four weeks.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
How many of the people actually get married and stay married.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
On average, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
I don't know exactly the numbers, but on average, I'd
say like at least half of the couples go to
the altar.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
And say yes, and maybe three like two.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Thirds of those stay together, right, So pretty good, But
it's gotten really gross the last couple of seasons, Like
people that are in it for the wrong reasons, people
that are really bad, slimy people like the casting The
casting crew clearly isn't doing their homework. They just let
the bad people in. It's it's gotten gross and so
now it's coming to Denver this coming season.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
So okay, so let me ask the question here. So
now you believe whereas people initially really got into it
because they wanted to find love, now they're just looking
for fame. They want to be on a reality because.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
These people, every single one of them, astronomically grows there
they're following and become really just I mean a lot
of them go on the show, whether they find love
or not, become big influencers, get a massive following, and
then make their life in their career off of that.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
So now the show.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
Where like I would say, okay, so we just finished
season eight. First couple of seasons really seem dedicated to
finding love the people on the show. Then the middle
seasons I think they really need they struggled to get
the right people on the show and filter them out.
Now it seems like Netflix, because of the amount of
bad people that have been on the show, it seems
like Netflix is leaning into letting the really gross people

(30:48):
that are on it for fame be part of the
cast like they don't care now, and it works because
the numbers are great and the show is really entertaining.
But now it's getting away from the entire concept and
now just keep the sloppiness going. Coming to Denver, probably
coming out this summer. They haven't announced the past yet,
so we'll see this.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
Texter said Mandy. I joined a similar dating app to
that date my age. It's called carbon dating that I
put that comedian on the blog last week and he
made that joke because he was old. This one for Mike,
I think is important. I'm sixty one. Why the hell
would I want to date my age? I just saw
a video online where a woman showed two graphs. One

(31:28):
was the graph that women thought was the appropriate age
as they got older for a mate, right, and for
women age twenty three, the age was up to twenty seven.
They wanted somebody a little bit older. As women got older,
it was either the same age and then they hit
forty five and they wanted somebody a little bit younger.
But then it kind of evened out, so the women's

(31:48):
graph kind of went even with the women's ages. The
men's graph forty eight year old men, who's the perfect mate?

Speaker 1 (31:54):
A twenty year old woman. Well, guys, come on, I
will say that the older folks could be in luck.
People have been calling for a golden Love is Blind
like with the Golden Bachelor, So maybe the old folks
will help bring the real reason.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
For Love is Blind back to that show as example.
Not Denver. That's gonna be the young crazy people again.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
We shall see. Someone says you should lose your man
card for knowing the facts about this show, but love that.
I would argue that Aron and his wife enjoying that
show together. Ye, it's just another example of why their
relationship is Oh.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
We we finished it yesterday, season eight and we cried, Yeah,
because it was that good. Like the couple that worked out,
no spoilers for those that watch it. The couple that
worked out were so beautiful together. We absolutely cried together
and have no shame about it whatsoever. It's a great
show when it works. Yeah, it's beautiful. It's so cool.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
Sure, and I'll leave it on this. My wife won't
let me on any of those dating sites. My girlfriends
keep me busy and off those dating sites as well.
On that note, we'll shift gears when we get back.
No one is expecting any inspecting anyone's genital at Jefferson
County Park. So I'll explain after this. The Mandy Connell
Show is sponsored by Bell and Pollock Accident and Injury Lawyers.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
No, it's Mandy Connell.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
Andy Conna.

Speaker 5 (33:14):
KA ninety one FM.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
God wa want to say? Can the nicety three Andy
Connell keithing sad Babe?

Speaker 4 (33:29):
Well, we welcome to the second hour and last hour
of the show. We're gonna turn it over to Rocky's
Baseball at two o'clock. But in the meantime, there is
yet another super fun event coming up this weekend where
kids can come out and thanks to KOFA, the Christian
Outdoor Fellowship of America Colorado chapter, they can learn how
to shoot a baby gun, learn a little bit about

(33:51):
gun safety, have some fun, and maybe win a free
ham and joining me now to talk about it, I've
got Mike Brooks and Leslie Allan from KOFA. Mike, you're
in beautiful North Fort Myers right now? Is that what
you sent me this morning?

Speaker 5 (34:06):
I am it's raining, but yesterday eighty four degrees, today
seventy nine, and tomorrow eighty five.

Speaker 7 (34:13):
Well in beautiful here.

Speaker 4 (34:14):
Enjoy yourself. It is beautiful in the winter, but I
cannot vouch for it in the same way in the summer,
when it is like living on the side. Anyway, Leslie
Allen also with us here guys, Mike, I'm gonna let
you handle this. What is going on this weekend?

Speaker 5 (34:30):
Well, we got our ham shoot. This is kind of
like off of our kids Turkey shoot in November for Thanksgiving,
but this is because of Easter coming around. Kids will
have an opportunity to not only win prizes, you know,
like a ham, bacon and brats, but you're going to
learn how to shoot baby guns. There's going to be
gun safety. It's going to be a wonderful event for

(34:50):
children and the families. We have had so many people
signing up. I'm sure Leslie will give you the numbers.
But we are exploding. We are just going to blow
it up to bil Out on next sat or this Saturday.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
Actually, it looks like you guys have picked up quite
an important sponsor with Shields. How did that come about?

Speaker 5 (35:09):
Well, Shields came to us and said, hey, what do
you have as far as an event for kids, And
we both came together as thinking of a am shoot,
and they love the idea what's cool, and I think
most people that are active shooters or hunters an ant.
They have a big ammunition ammunition sale going on this
weekend as well, so if you want to go down
and let your kids shoot and go with the m

(35:31):
O and it's a great store. We love it and
they've been very supportive of Kopha's Kids events.

Speaker 4 (35:37):
And this is actually happening at the Shields in Johnstown
right correct.

Speaker 5 (35:43):
And last year we blew it out and this year
we're going to really blow it out even more. So,
you know, Mandy, one of the things I'm trying out.
Parents are so thankful that we are getting their kids
off the electronics, just even for a few hours, and
they get their experiences shooting and trying to win prizes,
but they're communicating and get involved with other kids. So

(36:04):
this is kind of what our goal is, make sure
these kids have a great opportunity to experience tun and
be begun, but also just hanging around their peers and
just enjoying themselves. And a parents love seeing their kids
have fun.

Speaker 4 (36:17):
Now, Leslie, you've been involved with these events in the past.
What kind of a participation did you guys have last year,
and what are you shooting for this year?

Speaker 7 (36:25):
Well, that was great. Last year we had four hundred
and sixty five what Yeah, and we had about three
hundred parents, and so this year we really think we're
going to be over one thousand, and we're just thrilled
about that.

Speaker 4 (36:39):
So do people need I see, I've got your website
up and I put a link on my blog today
to your website. Do kids have to register in advance?
Or can they just show up?

Speaker 7 (36:50):
They can just show up. It's from nine thirty to
three this Saturday. And again it's it's it seals up
in Johnstown four seven five five Ronald Reagan Boulevard. It's
really easy, just up north on I twenty five and
you check a ride on thirty four and it's right there.
You can't miss it.

Speaker 4 (37:08):
It's massive. That store is ginormous, so yeah, it'd be
hard to miss. Now, is this going to take place outside?
Because I don't know where in the store they would
do this, Mike, Yes.

Speaker 7 (37:19):
It's in that They have a big training room upstairs.
So it's just massive, and so we're able to cording
off one section for the training, the classroom training, and
then the other section is for the range area, So yeah,
it works out great.

Speaker 4 (37:39):
So, Mike, just to be clear for the angry animal
activists that might be listening right now, how many actual
pigs are going to be shot at this event?

Speaker 5 (37:50):
Well, paper target pigs quite a few, but as far
as actual critters zero. So I think they can stay
home and not protest on that pigs are going to
be saved. And I just wanted to add though, we
do have handicap accessory throughs elevators and we can get

(38:10):
them up there. We had quite a few kids that
were handicapped last here that got on the elevator and
got to participate.

Speaker 4 (38:16):
Oh I love that. I love that so much. This
is such a great opportunity if you, as a parent,
did not grow up shooting guns, but you want your
kids to have an idea about gun safety, this is
the best way to give them the basics, help them
understand that even a BB gun needs to be treated
with respect, and it really is a great way to

(38:37):
kind of lay the foundation for that safety around firearms
that goes well beyond BB guns. All right, guys, I
put a link on the blog today to the event,
and I know it's going to be another Humdinger, and
I can't wait to hear about how successful this one is.
And somebody is going to win some prizes like a
honey baked ham.

Speaker 5 (38:54):
Right prizes, right bacon rops hands. If you like eating,
this is a kind of competition you're going to enjoy.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
Well.

Speaker 4 (39:04):
What I like is that, growing up the daughter of
a hunter, I often ate these things, but they often
still had like bird shot and.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
Stuff in them.

Speaker 4 (39:12):
So these are all free of any kind of shot,
so you don't even have to worry about that. Mike
Brooks and Leslie Allen, thanks for your time today. Guys,
go back to your days, and I hope you have
a great event on Saturday. I have a good one.
That is the great folks from COOFA. They do an outstanding,
outstanding job. Bu Okay, there we go. I'm just helping

(39:36):
kids get into the outdoors. And we have so many
transplants to the area that would probably like to take
advantage of the great outdoors out here. I mean, that's
the big peel of Colorado. And if you've never been
around guns, and you've never been around firearms, go out,
take your kids out there and let them experience this.
I had an interesting experience this weekend with my two grandsons.

(39:58):
So one of my grandsons, his birthday is this weekend,
and I said, hey, let's just go to the store
and here's your budget, and here's how much money you
have to spend. Pick the things that you really want.
And he immediately six is going to be seven this year.
He immediately picked two realistic looking firearms. One is a
machine gun and the other was like a handgun and

(40:20):
a knife and all this stuff. And I called his parents,
because I'm a good you know, mom and mother in law,
and I said, hey, is this okay? And they were like, sure,
it's fine. So I buy him this stuff. And they
had the orange caps at the end of the fake guns, right,
and I sat them both down and I explained to
them that they never take those off, and that it's
very important that they never take those off because those
are the things that tell police officers that they're fake guns,

(40:41):
so that they will not have a problem if the
police officers see them with their guns. And throughout the weekend,
I just reiterated that and reiterated that because that's what
my dad did with us when we were kids. I
grew up in a house with firearms that were easily accessible.
I'm going to be straight up blunt about it. My
dad had one of those beautiful glass cased gun cases,
you know what I mean. I'm sure this was a

(41:04):
thing out here in Colorado at some point, but in
my hometown, people displayed their firearms.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
For everyone to see.

Speaker 4 (41:13):
It was not unusual to walk into someone's home and
if they had a fireplace, which was not extremely common
in Florida, as you can imagine, there would be like
three firearms hung over the top that were maybe their
great grandfather's rifle or something like that. So I grew
up in a home where firearms were easily accessible, but
it never occurred to us to touch those firearms because

(41:33):
my father was constantly drilling that stuff in. I never
had a chance to kill myself with one of his
firearms because I knew he would murder me if I
touched them. Right, So, these little lessons, you just have
a chance to sort of instill that in your kids.
This is a great way to do it. Now, got
a couple things I want to talk about. This one

(41:55):
I said at the beginning of the show. I had
conversations over the weekend with younger people who will have
been given information that is so wrong and yet they
believe it with absolute certainty about what's going on in
the world. And I'm not gonna lie you guys. When
people come to me and say, what is Donald Trump doing?
I don't have an answer. I don't have an answer

(42:17):
right now because some of this stuff is just beyond
what I can figure out at this moment. I do
believe he has a plan, I just don't think he's
sharing it with us. I do believe that he has
a plan on these tariffs, which are absolutely royaling the
market today, I mean just just really really caused some

(42:39):
problems for the market. And it is We're moving up
right now. The Dow's down two point five to nine percent,
that's not as bad as it was. S and P
is down to three point three percent, and the Nasdaq
is down four point seven percent. So the markets are
getting killed by the tariff situation. But he is basically saying,

(43:01):
hold steady, hold steady, it's gonna be okay. But he
needs to do more than just say it's gonna be okay.
But I digress. I digress. This next story is one
of the things that is circulating that these kind of
things are the young people who don't like Trump, they
immediately believe this stuff. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is

(43:23):
now trying to find out who hung up a fraudulent
flyer announcing random genital inspections in public restaurants. Not public restaurants,
public restrooms. The flyer was signed as the Jefferson County
Sheriff's Department. That's not its actual name, but it did
include the agency's logo, and the flyer said, in compliance

(43:47):
with recent executive orders, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department will
be conducting random genital inspections at all public restrooms beginning
April twenty first, twenty twenty five. Just to be clear,
no one in any restroom anywhere has been authorized to
demand to see your junk nowhere, nowhere. Is this happening nowhere,

(44:15):
but this is what's passing for. I don't know comedy.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
Is that good.

Speaker 4 (44:21):
The first thing I thought of is is some dude
in a uniform going to show up on that date
and walk into the ladies room and demand to see
people's genitals. That could be the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
By the way, does not think this is funny, and
they sent on a message to said, look, our agency
is not going to be involved in anything of this sort.

(44:42):
The Sheriff's Office will not tolerate anyone misrepresenting our agency
or misuse of our logo in such a manner. Now
they are trying to identify the people who put up
the alarming flyer. I can tell you this from personal experience.
It's really easy to hang up an inappropriate flyer somewhere.
And I'll tell you my story of me hanging up

(45:03):
in inappropriate flyers just because I still think this is funniest,
you know what. So when I was in college, so
nineteen twenty, I worked for the Florida Senate Sergeant at
Arms office during the legislative session. So while the Florida
Legislature was in session, I worked for the department that
did things like moved stuff from office to office, delivered

(45:26):
huge amounts of bulk mail. And when I say huge amounts,
I mean massive amounts of bulk mail. And we stood
at the doors of committee meetings and counted the number
of people coming in and out, so we maintained fire
code in those meetings. That was the whole job I
mean it was like the easiest gig I ever had
in my life. And back then in nineteen ninety one,
it paid fifteen dollars an hour, which was a crapload

(45:48):
of money. So it was a great, great job. When
the legislative sessions would get out, like the House would
released or the Senate would would go into recess, everyone
would rush to the bank of elevators and they would
all cram into the elevator. So you'd be in an elevator,
and I'm not exaggerating when I say there would easily
be twenty people in these elevators that were made for

(46:10):
like ten Right, So there's a Far Side cartoon. Everybody
remembers the Far Side. If you don't, you need to
go back and buy all the books because they're worth it.
There was a Far Side cartoon that was it showed
an elevator with the doors open, and there was a
bunch of elephants in the elevator, right, and there was
a dude standing in front of the elevator right at

(46:32):
the front where the door's open, and the caption and
there's an elevator, an elephant outside the elevator, and the
caption said to Gary's horror. Yet another elephant decided to
come on the elevator, and it reminded me of being
on the elevators after recess. So I printed them all out,
and you know where the elevator inspection certificate goes in

(46:54):
that little little window right there. I just dropped that
cartoon into that space in all of the elevator banks.
Took me, like, I don't know, three minutes to put
him in all the elevator banks, and then I just
left it.

Speaker 5 (47:11):
That was it.

Speaker 4 (47:13):
Boy, did it cause a kerfuffle way more than I
imagined because I just thought it was a funny joke
about the elevators being super crowded. But apparently some members
of staff took it as a criticism of their size, which,
to be fair, it could have been, but in reality

(47:33):
it was not. It just it could have been. They
took it very personally that I was calling them elephants
in their mind when I was just kind of making
a joke, and I almost got away with it, but
one of my coworkers ratted me out and I got
called into my boss's office because they called the sergeant
at arms to find out who put this in the elevators.
Now they didn't have cameras in the elevator. So I

(47:54):
was like, okay, I'm getting away with it. No, the
stupid jerk ratted me out and I had to go
and talk to my boss and he looked at me
and this is exactly what he said. He goes, I
should have known it was you. It just seemed like
something you do, Mandy, something you do. And I was like,
you gotta admit it was funny. He's like, funny or not.
You cannot cover up the inspection sign for the elevators.

(48:17):
That was the issue. So if I just stuck it
up with tape in the elevator, but then it would
have been easier to get out. So it's hard to
find people. So maybe somebody will wrap this person out.
I don't know, because it is really challenging to figure
out who puts this stuff up.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
Mandy.

Speaker 4 (48:34):
I'm just sitting back and chuckling at the Trump effect
on our economy. Crazy like a fox, Mandy? Or is
he dumb as a rock? What do you think he
knows about tariffs that ninety five percent of actual and
expert economists are missing. I still, you, guys, I still
believe that the tariffs are designed to reduce the tariffs

(48:55):
on our products in these countries. I still believe that
where you consider that the Canadian tariffs on dairy are
over three hundred percent, at some point you begin to
look at it like that. Now I could be totally wrong,
because now he's throwing in you're not doing enough at
the border on fentinol or you're not. I mean, what

(49:15):
are we muddying the waters for use the tariffs to
be you know, punitive to reduce other tariffs. And I'm
down with that, but it's just it's all very garbled
right now. Mandy. My flyer covered part of a COVID
sign sign originally said cover up, it's the law. I
put a red mandate sign over the word law.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
Well done.

Speaker 4 (49:38):
See. I like passive aggressive stuff they do. I like
it a lot, Mandy. I think that some Trump paters
are doing stuff that exaggerates Trump DEI policies to enrage people.
Latest example is the Inola gay story. At least I
hope that's the case. No Enola Gay was removed from
a website because it had gay in it, even though
it of course is the plane that dropped bombs during

(50:01):
World War Two. Oh Mandy, you're so cheeky. You have
no idea.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
Texter.

Speaker 4 (50:06):
I used to be way more passive aggressive than I
am now, so I'm actually much much calmer now. I'm
I'm calmer, Mandy. Trump was the one who agreed to
these tariffs in his first term, and he calls them terrible.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
Yeah, I know, I know.

Speaker 4 (50:28):
I went back into a little bit of digging because
specifically I went back and looked at Trump and NATO.
In his first term, he consistently, consistently asked NATO to
do the right thing, and it has only been in
the past year that we now have twenty three of
thirty two NATO nations that are meeting the minimum defense

(50:51):
spending requirement. But it's funny because people are all saying
Trump wants to blow up NATO, he hates NATO, when
he has said over and over again, if everybody in
NATO was doing what they were supposed to do, it
would be a great organization. But the reality is we
still fund a vast majority of NATO. I mean, it's
like seven hundred and fifty five billion from US four

(51:13):
hundred and sixty three billion total from everybody else. Anyway, Mandy,
why isn't anybody talking about the stock market and how
everyone's four one ks are being wiped out? Curious what
the stock market experts are saying, but nobody's really talking
about that. It's very concerning because nobody knows what's gonna
happen next. The uncertainty is what the problem is right now.

(51:33):
Business hates uncertainty. They despise uncertainty. And with respect Texter,
we've had about a and I don't know this number
to be exactly correct, but I heard it in the news.
Over the past couple of days, we've seen about a
ten percent decrease in the stock market. Ten percent. Now

(51:56):
it's a big number, right, that's since Trump took office.
Ten percent is a big number, But that's not a wipeout.
We're not talking about the Great Depression. And as soon
as we get some kind of certainty on what the
tariff situation is going to be, I think settle things
settled down, or companies commit to building things in the
United States of America, it's gonna be chaotic for a while,

(52:17):
you guys. But the thing that I found the most
disconcerting about the way people are reacting is everybody says
not everybody. A lot of people are saying, we got
to cut government spending. But then when they cut government spending,
they're like, oh, not like that. Yeah, where did you
think they were gonna cut it from? Honestly, we turned
the station over to Rocky's Baseball at two o'clock this story.

(52:40):
I am fascinated by this a Rod. I have a
question if Jocelyn hooked up with an a Rod made
sex robot, is that cheap?

Speaker 2 (52:58):
What in the hell? Oh yeah, I mean robots.

Speaker 5 (53:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (53:03):
The survey to investigate how AI is redefining intimacy and
sexual health was put to one thousand people whose average
age was forty. There was fifty four percent men, forty
four percent female, generationally eight percent, where baby boomers twenty
four percent were gen X fifty two percent, millennials sixteen

(53:23):
percent gen z Key. Findings included that three out of
five people would trust an AI tool over a doctor
to diagnose ED. Additionally, one in four individuals express comfort
with their partner being intimate with a robot modeled after themselves. Yeah, no, no,

(53:45):
occasionally like you can't be bothered, Like, oh I'm I'm tired,
I'm wow. I did, yes, go see my a rod
two point zero.

Speaker 2 (53:54):
Nope, that's weird.

Speaker 4 (53:55):
I I think I'm just gonna say this, and there's
no there's no delicate way for me to say when
I'm about to say, Okay, as we get older, especially
postmenopausal menopause, and I'm just gonna say it. Not for
every woman, not for everyone, but it can destroy a
woman's sex drive, destroy it. One of the benefits of HRT,

(54:18):
of Homer and replacement therapy is getting that back. But
I could see some women it had been married for
a long time being like, sure, honey, go knock it out.
I don't care. I'm interested to see how the entire
like companions slash robot thing, what that does to human relationships,

(54:40):
because I think it would be really cool at first
to have some kind of pre programmed man in my
life where I could program him to like all of
the same things that I do, and I could program
him to know exactly how to compliment me, and I
could program him to make all of my favorite dishes
and rub my feet and take care of me. But
I think that would get kind of boring after a while.

(55:05):
And I might be an outlier here, but I don't
want someone who is exactly like me. I don't want
someone who's you know, I'm I'm never going to get
pushedback from. I don't know, I don't isn't That might
just be me, I don't know. More than a third
of gen Z respondents admitted to using chat GPT to

(55:28):
combat feelings of loneliness. Yeah, that's just sad. By the way,
I've been using grock more and more. I find grock
to be more accurate than chat GPT, Chat GPT. I
asked it. What question did I ask it this week? Oh?
I asked if Werner Hertzog was dead the actor. I said, Hey,

(55:48):
is Werner Hurtzog dead? And they said, yes, he's still alive. Like, Okay,
that's not the question the way I asked it. But whatever,
it's fine. It's all good. So it's okay, guys. The
Dow is making a bit of a comeback now down
one point seven percent seven five percent twenty four minutes
to go. The market is bouncing back just a little

(56:10):
bit after today's sell off. Nasac's still down three point
five s and p down. I missed that one, so
I'll have to come back and tell you that. I'd
love to know from you guys, like what would happen
Chuck two thousand. Yeah, yeah, because the Chuck nineteen sixty

(56:32):
four model it's a little outdated, starting to get a
little rusty in some places, you know what I mean,
a little squeaky in some places. I could never it's now,
it's classic. Now, it's like a classic model though it's
like a vintage model. Can never turn it in now.
Not just you, Mandy. Life is more fun when you
have differing opinions. Mandy, I would prefer my wife get
a jam Martzing or John Ham robot. She can have

(56:55):
me anytime. Maybe I could get the robot of my choice.
Selma Hyatt comes to mind. See now that different And
I think if you asked that question, and I'll change
the question to if you if your spouse had a
robot of their hall pass right. I mean, this is
such a funny concept, and I think couples joke about

(57:15):
it or whatever, like you know, the person that you're
allowed to, you know, step out on your spouse with,
even though they're always famous and you're never actually going
to have that opportunity, Like the chance of me bumping
into and having sex with Tom Selleck very small, very small,
but you know, we got to have those funny conversations.
But if you ask themone, hey, if they got a
robot of their hall pass and they were someone super hot,

(57:39):
either male or female, I think that would change the equation.
People would be okay, well, as long as they're still
doing it with me. Essentially, I don't care as long
as the robot looks like me. But then again, why
would you want to have a robot that looks like
your spouse?

Speaker 2 (57:55):
You got that, Mandy.

Speaker 4 (57:57):
I would program him to fight with me once in
a while, but then you already know what he's gonna
say because you programmed them. I like the curve balls
that my husband throws at me on occasion. I don't
mean literal curveballs, Mandy. You remember Cherry two thousand, Yes.

Speaker 7 (58:13):
I do.

Speaker 4 (58:13):
That's why the Chuck two thousand was funny. My wife
would have Jack Reacher. Maybe she could share with you. Haha,
now we're talking.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (58:23):
I am not interested in a robot. I'm interested in,
you know, actual people. A robot is an appliance, says
this text. Connection is an intimacy or with people. Sure,
people can feel connected with inanimate objects, but that connection
is only one way. True relationships are both ways and
becomes so much more with the development of AI. It's

(58:47):
not just going to be a one way relationship as
AI gets more complex and gets more adapt and adapting
to the person that it's dealing with. You know, we
talked about this on a totally different subject with robots.
We talked about with Thomas Frye about how education is
going to change, because what we're gonna end up doing

(59:10):
is every kid from the time they are in kindergarten,
they will have their AI teacher that will stay with
them throughout their entire school career. And this AI teacher
is going to start to understand how that particular child
learns right, and they're going to evolve and adapt to
whatever style that particular kid needs. They're going to have
a very personalized and highly personalized A teacher AI teacher

(59:35):
that will stay with them. This is going to be
the same thing. You know, if you love classical music
and you play classical music a lot, your AI robot
could immediately download everything there is to know about classical
music so they can converse with you. If you love baseball,
imagine being able to look at a super hot robot
sitting next to you and get the baseball stats from

(59:57):
nineteen forty five. I just think this is game changer,
and I'm not sure what exactly is going to have us.
I worry about. I worry about the future of relationships
and child creating very much so. Mandy, as long as

(01:00:20):
the robot was my skinnier younger self, wouldn't that be something? Mandy,
my wife bought me a sex robot for our anniversary.
Well she loves you, sir. Yeah, God's gonna kill us.
Sodom and gomorrah, Mandy. Tom Selleck, his kickstand is for
sure broken. Shut your mouth. There's nothing wrong with tom Selleck.

(01:00:45):
Nothing still perfect going on eighty It's still perfect in
my opinion. We've got to ride this chaos. He is
mass Oh, you're talking about Trump. I bet you in
your lifetime you would never utter the word sex robot. Hey,
watch the Jetsons, you know, and you know George never mind,

(01:01:05):
never mind. Anyway, that's on the blog today. There are
also serious stories on the blog today. I've got a
great call of by Dick Wadhams about whether or not
a Republican can win the governor's mansion in Colorado, and
he kind of lays out some of the people who
have already declared to run for governor. I have a

(01:01:25):
few people I'd really like to see run. I would
love to see Barb Kirkmeyer run. I think she is
just so smart and good at articulating, especially the budget
woes that we have in Colorado, how they are absolutely
one hundred percent the cause or caused by the excessive

(01:01:46):
spending that we have in the state. That's on the
blog today. Let's see, Oh, we got another candidate for
the chairman of the GOP. This one Richard Holdtorf. Richard
is a very affle fellow. He has not laid out
a plan. I'd like to see specific plans for how people,
whoever's in charge, they have to bring the party back together.

(01:02:08):
We have to bring the two factions, three factions are
aver many factions there are now. We have to bring
them back into the room to have a conversation, to
heal the wounds of the Republican Party that have been
created by the current leadership and create a cohesive party
that can push back on some of the worst impulses
of the current leadership. Here, Mandy, I want one to

(01:02:33):
look like my wife. We got married over forty years ago.
Now would you get it where she looks like now
or would you get it how she looked when she
was young, because that'd be pretty cool. Because I didn't
meet Chuck until I was in my thirties. I was
past the hottest stage of my life by the time
I met him, so that would be kind of cool, Mandy.
If the Teachers Union has anything to do with this,

(01:02:54):
there will be no individualized learning for any student. They
will be mandated to fail at the same level in
each grade, just like the union insures now. Yes, definitely. Oh,
I forgot, I have to break right now. I forgot
what hour we were in. I was doing the last
hour of the show. I'll be right back. They got
a lot of videos. A baseball is not your thing.
I got stuff you can read, I got stuff you
can watch. I got the tweet that Secretary of State

(01:03:17):
Marco Rubio sent out about canceling eighty three percent of
the programs at US aid, I'm down for it. Uh,
we got the sex robot thing. Oh, I'm going to
get Glendale Mayor Mike Donohan on the show because when
I first moved here twenty thirteen, I was on KHOW

(01:03:37):
in the morning, and one of my first connections was
to Mike Donafhin, the Glendale mayor, and he was on
the show because there was a big kerfuffle going on
with a rug store. It was just a thing. And
the reason there was a kerfuffle about a rug story
is that Mike Dunafin had this vision of what he
wanted Glendale to be, and he wants Glendale to be
the center, the hub of entertainment activity in the Denver metro.

(01:04:02):
He wanted to create an entire entertainment zone and he
had this big vision and he had this plan and
it was just, well, it's happening now. And it's funny
that Arod sent me a video today from TikTok about
a woman talking about the four mile project finally really
getting ramped up. And I have to tell you, I
think it is a great idea and the timing could
not be more perfect because who wants to go downtown now,

(01:04:25):
No one. One interesting thing that I also took away
from this, you know we're hearing over and over and
over again, movie theaters are going under. Movie theaters are
you know they're closing. We have a big closed when
right up here at Colorado and not Colorado. Is that
Hampden right there with the movie theater on the when
you're going north on I twenty five. You know what

(01:04:46):
I'm talking about. Is that that's Hamden that has closed. Yeah,
it's Hamden because at Colorado the Dave and Busters and
the United Art Artist movie theaters right there. So we
have I mean, we have a lot of movie theaters
are closing. Alamo draft House is going to open up
a massive another Alamo draft House in this entertainment district.
You gotta look, if I'm a movie theater, I look

(01:05:08):
at Alamo and say, what are they doing that we're not?
And you can say, well, they serve booze and they
have table service and all that stuff. That's not why
Alamo is successful. It's because they don't just run first
run movies. They have movie events. They have reruns of
movies that haven't played on the big screen. And god
knows how long I went and saw White Christmas on

(01:05:29):
the big screen at the Alamo draft House because I
love that movie. But as it came out in the
nineteen forties, my window to see it on the big
screen had slam shut. So many decades ago. So it's like,
I wonder why other movie theaters don't say, Okay, what
are they doing that we can do? What are they
doing that we can do the same now Tomorrow the

(01:05:50):
show is even shorter than today's. I know, I know,
but SEU buffs basketball. They're playing in the tournament. We'll
find out if they move on in the tournament, and
we'll do all of that tomorrow. In the meantime, though,
I do know that there's a lot of stuff happening
with the what what is today called? Is it the

(01:06:11):
it's it's called something where it's like the the I
can't remember what I just heard it called. Where you're
outside the window of contracting stuff. You can't sign a
contract until Wednesday, but Monday and Tuesday agents and teams can.

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
Talk about what is it to tampering period?

Speaker 4 (01:06:28):
Preek period, that's it, which I find weird.
