Speaker 3 (04:37):
Please this is The Southern Poverty lawsuit Or Law center

One, again it is THE.

Speaker 7 (05:06):
Splcs THE sblc can provide us a list of the
is The islamic oriented.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Groups do you have on your hate?

Speaker 7 (05:13):
Map Mister, Roy we don't target any group because of its.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Religion, REALLY i want to be clear about.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
That, really, yes that's exactly.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Right we target no group because of its.

Speaker 8 (05:23):
Religion we target groups because they express statements.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
And engage in activities that demean and.

Speaker 7 (05:32):
Hillis you brought UP lgbtq group so so you brought
up lgbt groups a minute. Ago so you think there's
a bunch Of islamic groups that are PRO lgbtq is
at the position of THE, SPLC i just want to
make sure the record is reflecting.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
THAT i, mean that is happening right, now AND i
should have taped. It but luckily with The internet we
don't have to worry about. It can you imagine the
amount OF vcr tapes out have taken back in the.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
DAY i, mean that.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Is that's pretty that's pretty. BAD i have been on
ABOUT i have a friend who lived In ireland for some,
time and now she uses the Occasional irish Or british
phrase and one of hers is what are you on?
About oh, well let me tell YOU i have been
on about THE splc for twenty years, now because for

(06:25):
twenty years The Southern Poverty Law center has lost its.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Mission when they.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Started the history of The Southern Poverty Law center is
one of great, nobility AND i mean that. Genuinely this
is an organization that was founded to fight THE, kkk
specifically in the deep Racist south during The Civil rights
era when things were really coming to a.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
HEAD i, mean that is a noble.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Cause but the problem is they ran out of that
kind of, racism and you, know subtle individual acts of
racism probably happened every. Day they're not good fundraising. Material
so in order to maintain the scary boogeyman of THE
kkk or the white nationalists who are at this, Point

(07:13):
i'm pretty sure those organizations are like six guys in
someone's garage drinking beer and talking about the good old.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
DAYS i don't even know what that is.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
Anymore, nonetheless they had to keep the grift going and
at the, Time i'm sure Here's the thing about a
grift of this nature when you have something that started
out as a good and noble cause and eventually it
drifts into what it is, now which is a complete
grift and hack. Show and for those of you who
have not paid, attention The Southern Poverty Law center is

(07:43):
being grilled today because of an investigation that showed they
were paying people to remain members of THE. Kkk they
were literally funding entire chapters of white.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
Nationalists now The.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
Southern property laws like those were our. Informants, okay so
you paid pretty much everyone in the group to inform
on each. OTHER i, mean come, on come. On but
here's what.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
Happened in my.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
View they started out with this good and noble, cause
and they believe that they were doing, good and they
believed that they were doing the right. Thing and then
all of a, sudden they stopped having so much overt
racism to, fight and they still needed the money to
keep coming in so they could fight, other you, know
injustices that they saw around the. World that then they

(08:34):
ran out of, racism so they had to make some.
Up and it started out probably well. Intentioned we've got
to have the money come in to do these other great.
Things but you, know these other great things are more,
subtle and we don't know we're, helping AND i see
how it, happened but now it's just. Blatant it's. Disgusting

(08:55):
think about where race relations in this country would be
without so called leaders of the movement on either side
of the. Issue think about if The Southern Poverty Law
center hadn't continued to pay men to remain in white supremacist,
organizations would they have, eventually to some, extent become so

(09:16):
neutered that it wouldn't matter if they existed at Ahole
because generally, speaking when you're on the fringes of society like,
that that's where you end. Up you just end up
not being able to accomplish. Anything so The Southern Poverty
Law center has been using anything conservative to cast them

(09:40):
as the worst people ever from The Tea party movement
in two thousand and. Eight, yeah we sucked because we
wanted lower taxes and smaller. Government my, god we were.
Monsters we had meetings dragon where we sat around and
read The federalist.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
Papers Jiminy.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
Christmas we had to be, sucked at least according to
The Southern Poverty Law center moms For. Liberty, god what
horrible women these. Are they want their children to be
free from blatant's sexuality and pornography in.

Speaker 4 (10:11):
Schools the. Nerve it's things like that when.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
You they were a huge part of the problem and
the justification of people on the left for believing that
people on the right were. Evil that was The Southern
Poverty Law center's. Doing and as of, Late i'm talking
the last fifteen twenty, years it has felt like their.
Mission their mission was to divide The United states by

(10:38):
casting anyone who dared to share a political opinion they
didn't share as some kind of evil.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
Person they were full of.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Hate we've put them on our hate.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
Map so in order.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
To fight the, hate you must.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
Hate SO i am.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Thrilled that The Southern Poverty Law center is getting it's come.
Up it is so long overdue it is not even.
Funny and the question about how Many islamists, GROUP i
mean you, guys CAUSE i can go to x right
now AND i can pull up video after video of
an a mom In virginia saying nasty things about gay

(11:16):
people and women and. Dogs they're all out. There why
aren't any of them on the hate? Map Southern Poverty Law.
CENTER i, wonder, HM.

Speaker 9 (11:28):
I.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Wonder so, Yeah i'm going to go, ahead And i'm
gonna watch this whole. Hearing WHEN i get. Home i'm
Gonna i'm gonna pop some, popcorn But i'm not gonna
eat it Because i'm so destrict right, Now so there's
no popcorn, Now i'm not gonna pop.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
It that'll just taunt. ME i can't do. It, well
AM i? Kidding LIKE i was gonna be all, brave.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
LIKE i was gonna make freshly pop, popcorn and THEN
i wasn't gonna have.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
Any WHAT i know myself too, Well.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Mandy your mistake is that they started as a good
and noble cause was always a grift telling you it
wasn't when you go back and you look at how
it all started and the sort of founding.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
Story it started with the best of.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Intentions but when people start to get, power they like more,
power especially when more power brings in hundreds of millions
of dollars every. Year and that is what happened to
The Southern Poverty Law. Center and it's a, shame, REALLY
i mean it would be it would be nice to
know if an organization that you were dealing with, was you,

(12:32):
know on the same ideological space that you are without
also doing something. Horrible but at the same, time this
is a one.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
Hundred percent subjective.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Call whoever is making that decision is using their own
biases to decide whether or not you. Qualify AND i don't,
know is this a thing we could outsource TO? AI
i feel LIKE, ai which you? Have, oh, OKAY i
got an. IDEA i can take. NOTES i think. That,
yeah you, say, Well i'm in on the you could

(13:04):
type it's. Faster, No i'm just. Kidding what if we
Had SOLOMON, ai as In King solomon in The bible,
right And SOLOMON ai its sole purpose was to scour
all of the great philosophical texts from the Ancient greeks
to the you, know The, socrates the all Nine, Yards John,
locke everybody who is considered a great philosopher Of western.

(13:27):
CIVILIZATION i have no interest in other civilizations because ours
is far, superior but Nonetheless western. Civilization and then you
put it all into THIS. Ai and then you bring
THIS ai questions philosophical questions and, say, okay based on
all of the great, philosophers give me the possible philosophical outcomes.

(13:48):
HERE i wonder IF i could make My chat do.
That i'm going to try. It that's a complicated set
of prompts, Tho i'm gonna need a. Minute that would
be kind of, cool, though wouldn't. IT i just think
that would then you can, say, look what can you
tell me about The Red? Cross? Ideologically you know WHAT
i do like When chat knows The chat GETS i

(14:09):
Mean CHAT'S i had to crack that On chat and
tell HIM i was very disappointed in him and THAT
i had lost faith Because chat fed me a document
about some legislative bills that was completely, fabricated AND i
said To, CHAT i thought we were past. THIS i
thought we were beyond, this And chat was, like, ah dang,

(14:30):
it you caught.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
Me and then we had.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
To have a talk about sycophantic behavior BECAUSE i don't like,
it and he was, like, sure a, boss, Whatever, Boss
i'm just. Kidding, nonetheless that would actually be kind of
interesting to be able to, say tell me philosophically where
we are with this, organization because it's, tough and people
are donating money to organizations they know nothing, about and

(14:57):
people that don't deserve it are getting, money and that's
how the grift. Continues, Nonetheless, mandy absolute power. Corrupts. Absolutely
you are absolutely, Correct. Dragon can you play Some scotts
for us? Today i'm down With southern culture on the.
Skids thank you those who's in The No No Little

(15:17):
dirt track. Date we got that in the. SYSTEM i
MEAN i could see that be something they played on
KBC a one time and that was. It all, Right
we got some guests coming up at one. Thirty this
is actually an interesting idea THAT i would never. Do
and it is a company called ev Charge. Me it's
a company or A colorado based, startup and they're setting

(15:42):
up a peer to peer ev charging network powered entirely
by private. Chargers so say you're in a, city like you,
Know denver or, whatever and you can't find a, charger
you could pull up their app and it shows you
someone's private home that you can drive to you and
you can charge your car at their.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
House, now.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
This just seems like an invitation to be robbed to,
ME i, does AND i would never do, this But
i'm sure other people. Will other people who are far
more magnanimous and way less paranoid THAN.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
I am will totally do.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
This but if we could get past the pain in
the butt of, CHARGING i would probably be in on
an electric.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
Car I'm i'm ready for a self driving.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Car.

Speaker 4 (16:36):
Dragon are you ready for a self driving?

Speaker 3 (16:38):
Car is that a?

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Thing totally?

Speaker 3 (16:40):
TOO i just don't have to drive.

Speaker 5 (16:41):
ANYMORE i enjoy, driving but ever SINCE i don't have
a manual transmission, aymore it's become a lot less.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
FUN i am ready for a self driving. CAR i
don't know how CLOSE i am because they're everything's so
expensive And i'm not a, Well i'm.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
Cheap that's the What i'm looking.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
For but we're going to talk to them at one
third about that if you want more information about. That
And Chad, bauer with AN ar in his, name joins
for and now you, know coming up at two forty
and we'll keep him of the day as. Well so
in all of the STORIES i looked at, today the
story that jumped out at me the most is one

(17:18):
that IS i probably shouldn't even talk about it because
to say it's based on a flimsy foundation does an
injustice to flimsy. Foundations but it's a, study, well, okay
a study of one. Person one, person A Japanese american.
Woman she had been in severe functional decline for roughly five.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
Years she had advanced.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Dementia she at this stage in her illness was she
had very limited, Speech she was not she could not,
Communicate she had severe cognitive, impairments she was, incontinent she
couldn't really get a. Rod and, then AND i want
to know the conversation behind, This, okay someone in her

(18:09):
care decided to see what would happen if they gave
her a five gram oral dose of psilocybin containing.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
Mushrooms let me review her.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
Situation advanced, dementia very limited speech for, communication severe cognitive,
impairment urinarian, continence reduced, mobility and they dosed her with.
Shrooms i'll tell you what happens after. This, god my

(18:45):
twenties were. Great, anyway moving, On so we're talking about
a Little Japanese american, woman and you know, what that
might have sounded, condescending BUT i don't know any Large
Japanese american. Women So i'm just gonna they're all especially
next to me like An amazon over, here and they're
all like little, tiny like some of them are almost
like pocket people for, Me LIKE i just will put

(19:05):
them right in my.

Speaker 5 (19:06):
Pocket, well we were just talking too off the air
that it was a year ago that you AND i
were In, japan so.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
There were no uh large.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
Check, anyway back to the actual story The Japanese american.
Woman she was apparently In brazil because the story the
study and let's let's all air quote around.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Study.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
Okay brazilian study authors described her as having advanced, dementia
very limited speech or, communication severe cognitive, impairment urinarian, continance
and reduced. Mobility she also depended on caregivers for assistance
with daily living. Activities then someone, said, HEY i, know

(19:46):
let's dose her with magic mushrooms and see what.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
Happens the first dose was a.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
Five gram oral, dose And i'm not gonna pretend LIKE
i know what the dosing is for mush But i'm
guessing that's kind of a lot because the second dose was.

Speaker 4 (20:04):
Smaller oh, yeah there was a second.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Dose just.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
Wait after the first, dose she experienced profuse sweating and,
hyperthermia meaning she got, hot followed by a prolonged sleeplike
state that is called a. Trip, NOW I i don't
know what it's like to be in the brain of

(20:29):
a dementia payment, patient but if you saw the movie
With Anthony hopkins Called The. Father, oh it is a devastating,
movie especially if you have someone in your life that
has some sort of memory.

Speaker 4 (20:43):
Issue but the, movie and this.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
Is a, spoiler but you'll figure it out. Anyway and
it's been long enough if he wanted an oscar for,
it people yet plenty of. Time it's told from the
perspective Of Anthony, hopkins who has, dementia and it is
just it's a, Oh i'm so GLAD i saw. IT
i never want to watch it. Again one of those.
Movies SO i can only imagine what was in this

(21:08):
woman's brain when she was high on. Mushrooms now here's
where it gets really. Interesting she wakes up from this
prolonged sleeplight, state and approximately nineteen hours, later she's spontaneously
initiated autobiographical conversation lasting several.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
Hours she was nonverbal before.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
This over the following days and, weeks the woman experienced
restored urinary. Continence she was able to walk independently and dress,
herself and engaged in spontaneous. Conversation she was also able
to retrieve contextual, memories showed the ability to express emotions
and maintained eye, contact smiling along with. Others and this

(21:55):
is when they were, like you know, what that worked pretty.
Good let's give her. Another but this one was just.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
Three, grams so not quite as.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
Much after the second, session the authors reported that the
woman had even greater speech, capabilities more facial expressions and,
humor increased, walking, agility and continued. Continence beyond this is
the one way of, saying beyond the heavy, sweating, hyperthermia
and sleep like, state the physician did not experience severe

(22:26):
or persistent adverse. Effects although the the reported benefits lasted
for at least one, month the paper did not have
a longer term follow. Up, hell let's talk about the
limitations of this study before you go to like dose, Grandma,
okay don't do. That this is one PERSON i know

(22:48):
absolutely nothing about The brazilian. STUDY i REALLY i need
more information about how this decision making went because, ethically
you cannot get scent from someone in the advanced stages of.
Dementia so you, are in this study experimenting on a
human being without their, consent AS i understand it. Now

(23:12):
but what if she said or gave her husband power
of attorney to, Say look if some treatment comes along
that can help me in the, future go ahead and try.
It chuck AND i have had these, conversations you, KNOW i,
mean if you're If i'm in some kind of, state you,
Know i'm just like laying there Like, i'm you, know
just laying.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
THERE i don't want to go on like.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
That if there's something experimental or whatever that they want
to try on me that can help either me or
help the next person, recover not.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
Yourself, out because what AM i? Doing you?

Speaker 3 (23:42):
KNOW i don't want to linger in some kind of.
STATE i just. Don't SO i found, this BUT, i
LIKE i, said wouldn't you like to know wouldn't you
like to have been a fly on the wall for that?
Conversation of course they would have to be a fly Whose?
Portuguese but, whatever that's. FINE i JUST i can't even.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Fathom.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Now one of the things to think about when it
comes to things like hallucinogenic, specifically is there have been
demonstrated positive effects when used in the right. Setting and
that part is important because one of the problems with

(24:28):
people self medicating is that in an altered, state in
a psychologically altered state that you enter into after taking a.
Hallucinogenic you need someone there to ground you if you
are starting to, have as they say in the you
know At, woodstock a bad. Trip it, happens and there

(24:50):
are people who can guide you through. That So i'm
not encouraging people, to LIKE i, said don't give a grandparents.
MUSHROOMS i, mean my, gosh my grandmother by the end
of her. Life she was diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic
very late in, life but exhibited absolutely batpoop crazy behavior
her entire. LIFE i can only imagine given that Lady,

(25:13):
acid her whole life was an acid. Trip but, nonetheless
for someone who is watching a loved one disappear day
by day in. It the thing about dementia And alzheimer's
disease and other memory robbing personality robbing illnesses is That

(25:36):
i'm not sure that it's as hard on the patient
as it is on the family and the. Caregivers AND
i can understand someone watching someone sort of flip away and,
say where DO i sign my loved one up for this?
Study do anything anything at all to? HELP i get,
That but one patient does not a study. Make the

(25:56):
problem here is that how do you find people that
you can get consent from indefinitely to, say WHEN i
reached this advanced stage of, dementia sure give me. Acid
how far along are they in their illness when they
make that. Decision there's a lot of ethical considerations to
be made. Here but at the same, time between this

(26:17):
and there's some very COMPELLING ptsd, studies specifically for combat
veterans that are led through a.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
Trip for lack of.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
A better way to put do they have like a
fancy medical word for it THAT i don't know. About
IS i mean? Session what did they say? Here let
me go back and look at. This, yeah they call
it a. Session it's a. Session in any, case combat,
veterans you took allucinogenic under controlled you, know controlled environment

(26:48):
with other combat veterans who had already gone through the,
process they were able to release a lot and they
ARE ptsd. Symptoms there's a scale AND i can't remember
the name of this scale off the top of my,
head but there's a scale whether you measure YOUR ptsd
symptoms and there's symptom number drop. Dramatically, now there's also

(27:09):
been studies that, said you, know there's no perceived, Benefit
BUT i wonder how that was set up because when
you're very specific and say, look you're going to be
led through, This you're going to be led through it
by combat. Veteran he's already gone through, This so you're
sharing that similar, experience but one person is sober and
one person.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
Is having a.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
Session it's it's very interesting and there are so many
people suffering for which there is no good, relief and
if there's something like this that is so outside the
box that could bring those people, RELIEF i am all for.
It all Caps, dragon because it's all caps. Dragon you

(27:55):

Mystery we don't even have AN, hr SO i can't
even go to.

Speaker 4 (28:17):
Them, yeah we'll never. Know we will never never.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
Know, okay we've got a bunch of stuff on the
blog today that we're not going to get to, You
but this is kind of. Interesting the straight Of Horror
moves is leaking. Oil what does that even? Mean? WELL
i clicked on the link and lo and, behold it's
a story about how much oil is actually passing through

(28:41):
the straight of horor. Moves and the whole premise of
the story is that we have not seen the oil
shock that was supposed to. Happen, yeah we're all complaining.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
Gases you.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
KNOW i fild up my car right After trump took,
office AND i got super excited because it was like
eighty one. Dollars i'm a twenty six gallon, tank SO
i have a big tank on my, car AND i
have to use premium and let. It, Okay i'm not
asking for. Pity i'm just SAYING i make my. CHOICES
i live with the. Consequences but the last TIME i
filled it, up there was like one oh, one which

(29:15):
was down from the one fifteen the time before. That
AND i am a person who gasses at my car
on the regular. Schedule are you a wait till the last?
Minute Or i'm going to fill up because It's sunday
AND i want to go To costco and take care.

Speaker 5 (29:29):
Of it whenever it gets, Empty SO i assume that
would be pretty last.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
MINUTE i.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
DRIVE i drive so little and so predictably THAT i
know exactly when my car is going to be out
of guests AND i IT'S i just go once a
week and fill up my car and that's.

Speaker 4 (29:45):
It it works for. Me, nonetheless back to The strait.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
Of Hor, moos when The Iran war broke out And
iran closed The straight of Hor, Moves United airlines came
out and, said we are preparing for oil to be
two hundred dollars a barrel.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
Dollars we're ready for, it and it simply has not.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
Happened as OF i looked earlier today and it was
it's trading at eighty eight right now eighty eight.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
And, change where's the oil?

Speaker 3 (30:12):
Shock, well what's happening is ships are BASICALLY i, mean
this is my impression of a ship going up to
The trade of Hor. Moves, okay straight offor newship is coming.
Up it's, like, hey, uh you, know The iranians closed
The straight of Hor.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Moves what should we.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
Do, uh let's just turn off our transponder and see what.

Speaker 4 (30:30):
Happens and they're just sailing.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
Through now we don't know where this oil is coming
from because they are not necessarily ghost ships who fly
under a different. Transponder these are, actual you, know. Tankers
but it's almost like a don't, ask don't, Tell Like
iron's got to know that an oil tanker is going
through this train of HOR i, mean how do you
miss it even without the, Transponder.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
Like don't they have the?

Speaker 3 (30:53):
Radar then when he gets to the, ship it's like boop,
Boop he's, Like, okay what's that we should investigate because
there's no transponder. There but apparently not Or iran is
shipping oil. Out but that is part of what is
cushioning us right. Now but there's another thing that we
need to know, about and that Is.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
China.

Speaker 4 (31:10):
China china has stopped buying.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
Imported, oil mostly because we've shut down their two biggest
sources of imported oil In iran And. Venezuela now we
are getting Their venezuela and oil And china is using
their strategic reserves that should LAST i don't know another few.
MONTHS i Guess i'm not, Sure but you know, What

(31:34):
i'm gonna do this on the other side of the
break BECAUSE i am so frustrated with The iran. WAR
i am not frustrated with The iran war because of gas.
PRICES i am frustrated with The iran war Because Donald.
TRUMP i really think he believes he's going to get
some kind of deal that The iranian mulas.

Speaker 4 (31:54):
Who have been lying to him the entire, time are then.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
Somehow going to find the honor to actually live up
to their end of the. Deal and in the, Meantime
i'll tell you what's happening to the people In. Israel
startup right here In colorado that is hoping to create
a network where if you have an electric vehicle charger

(32:19):
at your, home you can join the part of a
network where people can stop and use your.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Charger not for.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Free this is a profit centered. Situation think of it
as like charging Like, toro you, know the car where
you rent someone.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
Else's actual car or.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
Whatever but you would pull up to their house and
they'd have their charger out, there and you'd swipe your
credit card or, whatever and then you'd charge up in their.

Speaker 5 (32:43):
Driveway DO i have to entertain them while they're there
for several?

Speaker 1 (32:47):
HOURS i don't.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
BELIEVE i, mean if you really want good, ratings you'd be, Like,
wow they brought me. Snacks that would be oh the
review you get cookies. HERE i could see some crazy
levels of. Competition this is breaking. News according To Jesse Aaron.
Paul The Colorado sun has a debate schedule For democrats
running for Attorney. General three of the candidates have agreed

(33:13):
to show.

Speaker 4 (33:14):
Up Jenna griswold.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Not one of.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
Them she is adopting The Victor marxis, strategy which is
when you're too incompetent to, debate just don't do any well, Played. Jenna,
Now Cherry Creek, schools the hits just keep. Coming you

(33:36):
remember a few weeks AGO i was telling you the
story and we Had Molly lamarn to talk about, it
that The Cherry Creek School board has been in not
Just Cherry creek School, board The Cherry Creek School district
has been in, turmoil a tremendous. Turmoil and this is

(34:00):
an encapsulation from The Denver. Gazette hired in twenty twenty,
One Superintendent Chris smith abruptly resigned amid allegations that he
and his, wife former chief human resources, Officer Brenda, smith
by the way she was fired for, cause had created
a toxic, culture leaving employees with no. Recourse Brenda smith

(34:21):
was later placed on a paid administratively before being terminated
for cause In. May The Cherry creek school district hired
an outside law firm to investigate The, smiths concluding that
they had likely violated district policies by building the school
system for travel unrelated to official. Business the report also
examined contracts and allegations involving district. Vendors district officials have

(34:43):
withheld the cost of that. Report the district has been
grappling with months of, upheaval lots of, terminations lots of
people resigning under clouds of. Suspicion it's just been, rotten,
Rotten so now it gets even more. Interesting so the former,

(35:08):
Superintendent Chris smith resigned at an executive session On january twenty.

Speaker 4 (35:15):
Seventh the board agreed to go.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
Ahead and give him what was contractually required in the termination.
Agreement but according to Mister smith's new, lawsuit.

Speaker 4 (35:24):
Or rather a demand, letter.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
The board Of, education he, says promised to pay his
salary for eighteen months if he agreed to voluntarily. Resign
his attorney says the school board promised to Pay smith
Through june of twenty twenty. Seven it also states the
district pledged to Pay smith's life insurance policy until he

(35:50):
is sixty. Five he also claimed through his attorney that
the district owes him a thirty thousand dollars. STIPEND i
believe he needs at thirty grand to buy clothing to
contain his giant, kjones because, dude he's. Lucky he should have.
Been let's talk about this for a. Second this is

(36:11):
what's happened In, colorado and not just In Cherry creek
Or Douglas county or. Wherever this is what happens when
you were a school superintendent who. Sucks eventually the board
moves to fire. You the first thing you do is
get an attorney and you. Sue and now the board
is left for the choice of how much money in
taxpayer dollars are we gonna spend defending ourselves against this,

(36:33):
case or do we pay off this loser so they
go away and never come back. Again and, unfortunately too
many times the boards are choosing pay off the.

Speaker 4 (36:40):
Loser and you know what.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
Happens the next time a superintendent gets fired because they,
suck he lawyers up and the whole cycle starts, again
reinforced by the fact that the last school district just
Paid and then it's giants shuffling of the deck chairs
on The titanic with all of these, superintendents they just
go to other school. Districts, ugh, ah good. GRIEF i

(37:04):
hope That cherry cretails are to go pound. Sand but
here's my. Question why did they not just fire him for?
Cause is it because they didn't want to open up
and let everybody know how badly they had screwed the,
taxpayers because.

Speaker 4 (37:18):
That's what they're.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
Hiding and now they won't even tell the taxpayers who
paid for the investigation how much they. Spent oh but
that's not all From Cherry Creek. Schools THE Us department
Of education is opened an investigation Into Cherry Creek Schools
district On monday over allegations of racial. Discrimination oh but
it's not what you. Think the department said It's office

(37:42):
For Civil rights it's reviewing claims that the district Violated
title six of The Civil Rights act by sponsoring a
quote wide range of racially discriminatory. Programming the complaints alleged
the district discriminated on the basis of race in student,
clubs academic support, programs teacher, training and a parent. Committee

(38:04):
in a, statement the district said it has not yet
received a copy of the complaint and could not. Comment
it's the third investigation that The Federal office is launched
In colorado in recent. Months In, march The office Of
Civil rights set a nine month investigation revealed that male's
students At Jeffco Public schools occupied sixty one spots on girls' sports,

(38:25):
teams and that the district allowed students to access female,
bathrooms locker, rooms and overnight accommodations on the basis of gender.
Identity Jeffco Public schools has refuted the, claims but, unfortunately
there are too many parents who are talking about their
kids going through. This the release Alled Sherry creek sponsors

(38:47):
clubs that exclude students based on race and requires teachers
to consider race when assigning classes and providing different levels
of academic. Support The department did not identify the specific
clubs or training. Programs, additionally The office For Civil rights
is reviewing the District's voices Of color, committee which the
department alleges grants preferential access and.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
Participation based on.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
Race, WELL i wanted to know What voices Of color,
is SO i went over to The Cherry Creek schools
website and this is what it says About voices Of.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Color our goal.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
Is to foster an inclusive and safe environment to support
the success of students of. Color we do this by
engaging community members in meaningful and effective, partnerships building relationships
between schools and family, communities and providing parents and guardians
of students of color voice and direct access to the.

(39:46):
ADMINISTRATION i, mean wouldn't The department Of.

Speaker 10 (39:50):
Justice just need to lift this and take it to
a judge and be, Like, okay that's what they said
on their public facing website where everybody had A it
doesn't say anything.

Speaker 3 (40:02):
About whitey at. ALL i mean it doesn't say whitey not.
Allowed so there's. THAT i, mean they can, argue you,
know whitey's totally. INVITED i, mean white's of, color white
students of. Color white is a color kind of peach
really when you get right down to, It i'm more
of like peachy, olive you, know, dragons more like pasty.
Pail so this kind of feels a little bit like

(40:26):
a slam. Dunk i'm gonna throw that out, There just
throwing that out. There So Cherry Creek schools is.

Speaker 4 (40:36):
Not in a good, way not at.

Speaker 3 (40:38):
All mandy d twenty renewed their superintendent two days, later
got rid of her with full.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
Pay.

Speaker 4 (40:45):
Shameful see here's the, thing and this was the.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
Point if you missed the conversation yesterday With Deep Deep
Singh Podaisha Budaysha budaysha with a, bee it was.

Speaker 4 (40:57):
FASCINATING i loved. IT i absolutely loved.

Speaker 3 (40:59):
It the only ism That i've gotten is people, saying
you guys talk to over each. Other, Well i'll rain
him in the next time with ground rules before we
even get started that beings, say he's got a lot to.
Say that being, said it's kind of like when he's
talking about how exactly the government was going to run things.

(41:22):
BETTER i think about stories like. This these are all government.
Employees but when you have government employees with a lot of,
power bad things can.

Speaker 4 (41:30):
Happen have you ever Noticed And.

Speaker 3 (41:32):
I've noticed this for, years And i've said it to
people and they kind of laugh WHEN i say.

Speaker 4 (41:35):
Things but if you want to.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
Understand how power, corrupts look at AN hoa. Board i'm
being one hundred percent genuine Because i've known lovely neighbors
who BECAME hoa president and literally turned into Like mussolini.
Overnight not EVERY hoa. PRESIDENT i really don't want to
just like not every politician is blatantly horribly. CORRUPT a

(42:01):
lot of them feel like they. Are so it's not
an all one size fits. All but to think that
somehow government is going to hire people who are immune
to the intoxicating nature of power over other people when
you get right down to, it when you look at
things like, racism isn't that just someone who has.

Speaker 4 (42:20):
No power seeking power over.

Speaker 3 (42:22):
Anyone so they're gonna choose something and immutable characteristic that
they had nothing to do with their whiteness another person's
blackness or, brownness and they're gonna use that as some
kind of flex because it's all about. Power and when
you're at the top of the food, chain you hire
your wife to be head OF. Hr who's gonna stop?
You you can do whatever you. Want you get the

(42:45):
whole thing wired for. Sound this was a government. Employee
this is WHAT i think Of Mandy white is the
presence of all.

Speaker 4 (42:52):
Colors as a.

Speaker 3 (42:53):
Color, ooh that makes us sound, fancy super, Fancy. MANDY
i might need an electric charge just just for the.
COOKIES i, mean you could just have a gas car
and then just come up and fake plug it in
and get. Cookies you could do that if you really

(43:14):
wanted the cookies the new, TRUCK i should ask. Them
remind me to ask about the cookies, thing, like we'll
just set up because now have you ever noticed do
you Use? Airbnb do you And carlo do air and
be at all any that's.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
No we have not thought about, it but we use
it all the.

Speaker 4 (43:28):
TIME i mean all the.

Speaker 3 (43:30):
Time and Now airbnb gifts or hosts in competitive, markets
they will literally put we leave homemade cookies for you
every single, time you, know and there's.

Speaker 4 (43:43):
All these little. Things, oh look at our coffee.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
Station oh we have all the equipment for the outdoors we.
Have it really is becoming about amenities because it's a
very competitive. Market now, exactly we had a guest host
leave us homemade. Bread here's a loaf of homemade. BREAD
i hope you enjoy Your. Stae, WELL i wasn't planning
on eating an entire loaf of bread in the next few, days.

Speaker 8 (44:04):
BUT i Know i'm doing.

Speaker 3 (44:06):
It challenge.

Speaker 4 (44:07):
Accepted so that's we'll get into the car thing in
the next.

Speaker 3 (44:13):
Hour, Mandy, mandy you are. Right it's about, power and
race was about, power and now it is there should
be about economic. Power the problems are less about race and.
Socioeconomics that's true to a certain. Extent but see when people, now,
okay let me walk back my statement. Here you're right
that people who have gobs and gobs of money have

(44:35):
access to power THAT i don't have Or dragon doesn't.
Have none of us are gonna. Have it just is
what it. Is but there's something about human beings that
we instinctively look towards some kind of hierarchical. Society and
what happens and What i'm seeing more and more on
people who are at a season of their life where

(44:55):
things are.

Speaker 4 (44:56):
Not going, well often very young.

Speaker 3 (44:57):
People when did young people get the eye idea that,
somehow by the time they were twenty, five they were
going to own a, home they were going to do
all THESE i JUST i DON'T i don't know where
these expectations got ginned. UP i had multiple roommates UNTIL
i was twenty nine years old and got.

Speaker 4 (45:14):
Married didn't buy.

Speaker 3 (45:15):
My first house until much after, that AFTER i was.

Speaker 5 (45:18):
Married could it possibly be that the parents are having
kids later in life so that they see the parents
later in.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
Life, yes we.

Speaker 3 (45:26):
Talked we talked to my daughter about, them because, okay
my daughter's. Seventeen our oldest son is thirty. Six they
had a completely different, upbringing, Right, YEAH i mean especially
financially because a lot of the boys'. Lives chuck was
a single, dad so he was barely getting. By so
the stuff that my daughter has the ability to do
now and takes for granted to a certain, extent the

(45:49):
boys are, like, what.

Speaker 4 (45:50):
You, know what you're taking?

Speaker 3 (45:52):
Her europe is lea. Out oh, YEAH i mean big.

Speaker 4 (45:54):
Time but it's different.

Speaker 3 (45:55):
Circumstances but now at this POINT i say things, like you,
KNOW i am so want to get our nails. Done i'm,
Like i'm not paying for. That that's a luxury you
can pay. For when we went To French, polynesia that
was SOMETHING i dreamed about as, AGAIN i was, Like
i'm not taking youre A French. Polynesia you gotta have
somewhere left that you want to go when you're an.

Speaker 4 (46:14):
Adult but our life has been much much.

Speaker 3 (46:16):
Different so, yeah, maybe but STILL i do think that
this generation of kids is much more welcome in their parents'
homes for a much longer. Time my parents gave me
luggage for high school. Graduation nothing sends a message more
than here's a lovely set of luggage so you can
get the blank. Out it was pretty. Clear it was

(46:38):
like time. Ago at that point in, time you were
ready to go. TOO i was, too very very. MUCH
i couldn't. WAIT i, MEAN i left skid marks in
the driveway WHEN i left for. College it was, like,
Whoa i'm, OUT i am gone AND i BUT i
have bounced, BACK i think twice with my. Mom once
with my mom after the end of a really bad.

(46:59):
Relationship hel's back for like three or four. Months but
could not wait to get out of my mom's. House and,
y'all my mom is like the coolest mom.

Speaker 4 (47:05):
Ever she's.

Speaker 3 (47:06):
Great that was a totally BUT i JUST i felt
Like i'd taken a big step, back AND i didn't
like that. Failure, yeah a little, BIT a little. Bit it's, Like,
okay get your stuff together and figure it, Out. Mandy
those expectations of people under twenty five come from blank
parenting and blank school. TEACHERS i don't necessarily know if it's.

Speaker 4 (47:31):
THAT i do know THAT i have.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
Friends this is a story that was relayed to me
by the friend who was involved in. It their daughter
got there for her first big job and she is
living In New york. City so if you don't know
how Expensive New York city, is just look At denver.
Prices they're almost comparable now And i'm not even. Kidding,
nonetheless she got an apartment in a part of The

(47:54):
East village that, is let's just, say less than, desirable
upstanding people who weren't drug ad ex or drug.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
Dealers but it was.

Speaker 4 (48:03):
Cheap she could afford.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
It it was only up three flights of stairs instead of.

Speaker 4 (48:07):
Seven it was.

Speaker 3 (48:07):
Great the first time her parents went, there they literally,
said you cannot live, here AND i just went. What
she had two, roommates so it's knowledge she was living
there by, herself AND i just, said that was a bad.
Choice you got to let your kids live in the
sketchy neighborhoods so they appreciate the climb to the good.
Neighborhoods you got to let them make those. Decisions and

(48:30):
they were, Like, nope wasn't gonna. Happen this is an
adult child graduating from. COLLEGE i, mean so twenty one.
Two in that age, frame we are trying to keep
our children protected and infantilized way too.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
Long it's one of the.

Speaker 5 (48:43):
Harder things of being a, parent thoughse is knowing that
your kid is going to fail at something and not
doing anything about.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
It did you have to do?

Speaker 3 (48:52):
THAT i keep forgetting you have older kids and you have,
grandkids SO i tell my friends you just now have
kids that are graduating from high.

Speaker 4 (48:59):
School in that, range.

Speaker 3 (49:01):
The two hardest parts so far and there may be
harder parts in the. Future so, far the first seven
months of infanteod where the baby's not sleeping and you're
not sleeping and you're feeding and, AH i did not,
enjoy do not do? Again and then trying to re
establish an adult relationship with your now adult kids when

(49:22):
you realize your input is no longer. Welcome it might
still be, needed but it is not, welcome and you
sort of have to navigate that. Process and the other
part of that situation is you've got kids who still.

Speaker 4 (49:37):
Partially see you in that parental.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
Role so even if you're just being normal with them
like you would be with any of your, buddies giving
out a piece of, advice or they take it as a, lecture,
right so you have. To it's just it's so, insane
but it's so important because that's when you're laying the
groundwork for.

Speaker 4 (49:55):
The rest of your adult relationship with your, kids and it's.

Speaker 3 (49:58):
Hard AND i keep telling people that and they keep, going,
oh and then they go through, it they're, like oh my.
God especially if your child chooses a partner that's not
great and you see the writing on the wall and
you just know how that's going to. Go it's just,
really really.

Speaker 5 (50:14):
TOUGH i told my guys grown, ups, LIKE i am
not your. Friend maybe you, know in your adult life
then we can try and be, Friends but right Now
i'm your.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
Parent i'm not a good guy. HERE i don't need
to be your.

Speaker 3 (50:24):
BUDDY i need to keep you from blowing yourself and
someone else up. Accidentally that's what we're here, For. Mandy
the young people are trying to live their Best instagram.
Live social media as a. PROBLEM i know that that
is a part of. It but what IS i find
a little, disturbing, no a lot, disturbing is.

Speaker 4 (50:45):
So many people seem to have.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
The attitude that they are completely not in control of
whether or not to consume social. Media there are certain
people who work in social. MEDIA i have to maintain
social media because of my. JOB i don't really have a.
Choice but if social media is making you, unhappy and
that is not how you make a. Living turn it.
Off guess what if you turn it back on in a,

(51:11):
Year it's going to look exactly the same with the
same people doing the same crap over and over and over.
Again it's all gonna be a fabrication and it's going
to make you feel the exact same, Way. Mandy growth
is figuring things out on your. Own as, parents it's
hard to not want to solve the problems a, Men.
Mandy my parents started charging me rents after. College they're

(51:33):
hint for it's time to, go AND i did and

Life i'm not saying THAT i would win them, all
but my twenties would definitely be in.

There they'd be in the.

Speaker 3 (51:50):
Hunt we've got a problem In, colorado and that problem
is is that we do not have a very good charging,
network and that range anxiety and the fear of not
being able to charge your car keeps a lot of. People,
honestly that is my big like holding thing That i'm

(52:13):
stuck on right now BEFORE i buy an electric. Car,

to charge your car while you're? Here so kind of
the next, DAY i was thinking about, that AND i,
thought there needs to be a way to help other
people that either have a level two, charger or even,
better have a level two charger and, solar to help

(53:22):
them monetize and make a little money on the. Side
so it's like The airbnb of electric vehicle.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
Charging so how did you begin to set this help?
Up what are the standards that someone has to? Meet
and Where let me back that up one. Second where
are we in the? Process are you guys live? Yet
are you letting people sign? Up or are We where
are we in that?

Speaker 1 (53:41):
Process we're so. Close we've submitted to the app.

Speaker 9 (53:46):
Store our app currently lives on the App, store but
it's in the beta version and it's going to be
publicly released any day.

Speaker 3 (53:54):
Now So, samtom were, Ready, yeah tell me what this
is going to look. Like SAY i have an electric,
CAR i want to sign up for the. Program walk
me through WHAT i can expect as a homeowner who
wants to be part of this.

Speaker 8 (54:07):
Network, well first of, All, MANDY i just loved how
you explain it to the audience speaker and you even
said that this is the issue for. You, yeah, right
and it's the issue for a lot Of. Americans and
in twenty, thirty we're going to have about forty million
electric vehicles on the road and we do not have
the charge in infrastructure for. It so to qualify for,

(54:30):
this a homeowner when it needs to have a two
hundred and twenty volt SIXTY am charger in their home
and they buy one of our smart, boxes and that
smart box will monetize that, charger so they can make
passive income charging people's cars in their driveway and for the.
User for THE ev, driver they can park in any.

(54:51):
Driveway some of these places will be very congested places
Like Cherry Cree Tennison.

Speaker 3 (54:55):
Street they get parking and they get. Charging so let
me ask you specific. QUESTION i don't have a charger
in my. HOUSE i assume they were inside the.

Speaker 4 (55:04):
Garage that's.

Speaker 9 (55:06):
Right so our box is intended to be installed on
the exterior of the house near the. Garage so commonly
people will just lay their existing level to charging cable
underneath their garage, door and our box just conceals the
end of the charging. Cable just a tip if you, will,
Okay and then obviously you download our app and you

(55:28):
enter your payment credentials and you can see all the
chargers that are available and currently, online so the hosts
can take them online or offline whenever they want to
charge their own car and not allow appointments to are
people looking for a charge to show?

Speaker 4 (55:42):
Up so let me ask you.

Speaker 3 (55:44):
This if someone comes to my, HOUSE i get to
set the rate on What i'm. Charging so IF i
live in the middle Of Las, Vegas New, mexico on
that highway where there's, nothing AND i, say you, know
WHEN i want to, CHARGE i don't know what is the.

Speaker 4 (55:57):
Pricing. Like first of, ALL.

Speaker 9 (56:01):
I love answering that question BECAUSE i like to respond by,
saying like how much would you put your house up
for On airbnb or how much would you rent your
car for on. Turop it's really worth just providing that
platform to allow.

Speaker 1 (56:13):
People to set their own. Rates as we.

Speaker 9 (56:16):
Continue to gather data around the charging, costs we want
to USE ai to help us figure out what that
sweet spot is for both sides of this. Equation but
the person looking for a charge and the person that
is the host looking to make.

Speaker 4 (56:29):
Money so is this going to be, like, oh go,
ahead go, Ahead. SAM i was just going to.

Speaker 8 (56:34):
Say another way of saying is we're really letting the
market decide.

Speaker 1 (56:37):
Themselves.

Speaker 8 (56:37):
Right if you're in a street where the average price
is three hundred and fifty dollars sustain AN abmv and
someone list it for two, seventy they got a good.
Deal if someone tries this in, math having for seven hundred,
dollars they're probably not going to get any. Customers so
we're going to allow the streets to set the.

Speaker 3 (56:51):
Prices are you also going to Allow like SAY i
pull up to someone's house And i'm going to charge my,
car and all of a, sudden someone walks out the
front door and, says which do you like some cookies
while you're charging your? Car AM i going to go
to your app and, say, YES i got? Cookies AND
i got fueled? Up because here's my, Thinking, Like i'm
old right at this, Point i'm, RETIRED i don't have

(57:12):
anything better to. Do i'm hanging around my house, anyway
may as well make a little scratch on the, side
and it's a little plate of cookies gets you more.

Speaker 4 (57:18):
Business you can have a booming hit thing going.

Speaker 8 (57:21):
On, well if you ever, retired then we want you
in our team BECAUSE i love where your heads. At so,
yeah we call that the lemonade stand on. Steroids, Right
like if someone was a professional car clean and we're
not talking about someone just washing your car that's like
waxing you doing a really good, job and they're, retired
then that would be an ancillary service that would be
added to when that person parks their. Car so now

(57:43):
they can drive, somewhere they can have a two hour,
lunch they can meet a, client meet a, friend catch,
up they can have their they can have a guarantee parking.
Spot they're charging their car and they're getting their car,
washed or.

Speaker 1 (57:55):
They're getting, cookies whatever you. Whatever, yet but, yes we're very.

Speaker 8 (57:58):
Smart as people and we're always trying to make an extra.
Buck and, yeah that's absolutely a. Possibility people will do.

Speaker 3 (58:05):
That what will be the front end cost for the
homeowner who wants to sign? Out but what is that
process going to? Be what Are i'm assuming there's some
kind of subscription that they have to pay to.

Speaker 8 (58:14):
You right, now we're selling our box for two hundred
and ninety nine dollars is one.

Speaker 1 (58:20):
Off that's.

Speaker 8 (58:21):
It we do a founder's, rate which is fifty percent
off so people will be able to buy the first
box is the first being how many number we decide
for half price around one hundred and fifty dollars one,
off and then we only take fifteen percent of every,
charge which is Below, Turo airbnb And uber to our
current knowledge as we as we're having this, interview but

(58:43):
we only take fifteen, Percent so the homeowners taken eighty
five percent of the of the hourly.

Speaker 3 (58:50):
Rate NOW i am the person of a high level
of paranoia just in.

Speaker 4 (58:53):
General i'm just going to let you.

Speaker 3 (58:55):
Know and the first THING i thought of, is AM
i inviting someone, to under the guise of charging their,
car come my.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Home that's a good.

Speaker 8 (59:03):
Point and you, know we've had these questions when we
raise initial. Investment my answer in terms On i'd love.

Speaker 9 (59:09):
To hear yours.

Speaker 8 (59:10):
Two but my answer is, generally every TIME i go
to the, airport a stranger's driving me to the, airport
And i'm borrowing a stranger's car For, turo Which i've,
done And i'm staying in a stranger's home For. Airbnb
if we had this idea fifteen years, ago it could
be a little, weird but peer to peer, works and
we're going to have basic information on the driver that's

(59:31):
driving to the. Home same way when you jump in
An airbnb they, say, Hey, mandy you say their, name
and then they drive you to their. Destination so we're
definitely going to have extra security protocols so it's not
just a quote unquote stranger charge in their.

Speaker 3 (59:44):
VEHICLE i feel like this is a great secondary income
stream for people who are already operating short term rentals as,
well because then you're not necessarily having it in your own.
Yard that's a great. Point and when you create a,
business right you're.

Speaker 9 (59:58):
Always trying to think of what is our problem that
our product is trying to. Solve so to your, point,
currently right, now if you google unauthorized charging at short term,
rentals people are already showing up to The airbnb unplugging
a washer driver if it's in the garage down, south
and then charging up their. Cars our marketing guy explained

(01:00:18):
to us that he's got a short term rental and
he would discover an extra three hundred dollars electric bill
at his vacation rental because people are charging all of their.
Cars so that's our first go to market strategy is
to try to talk to people that have short term.
Rentals and in that scenario where somebody shows up with
an electric, vehicle they can just have on the welcome,

(01:00:40):
binder download or take a picture of THE qr, code
get into the, app and then you're welcome to charge
your car rather than driving off to The tesla supercharger
which is fifteen twenty minutes away from their family vacation
at The Airbnb John.

Speaker 3 (01:00:55):
Patterson sam say, Ed i'd like to be part of
the allocation for THE ipo when you guys go, Public
so just keep me in, mind keep your girl in.
MIND i love this. IDEA i won't do it BECAUSE
i don't live in a place where it would make.
Sense but this is a great. Idea and and, uh
where can people get involved find out more all that good.

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
Stuff they can go on www dot ev.

Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
Charge me dot com AND i also put a link
on the blog at mandyblog dot.

Speaker 4 (01:01:21):
Com, guys thank you so much for your time. Today thank,
you thank. You all, Right we'll be right.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
Back i'm fascinated by that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
Idea.

Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
Fascinated somebody, Asked, mandy what about people who have. Hoa's
does anybody know how that would affect? Them, well most
of the time you get in trouble in AN hoa
for not parking in your. Driveway if you're parked in your,
driveway as long as it's not AN rv or a,
boat if this is your, car THEN i don't. THINK i,

(01:01:55):
mean maybe it's one of those don't, ask don't tell
things like and THERE'S i guarantee you there's no rules
specifically against it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:02):
Yet be almost just like having a guest over.

Speaker 3 (01:02:06):
Exactly and you, know right WHEN i were talking on the,
break what's to prevent you if you have enough space
to creating a dedicated parking space in front of your
house and you just run a two twenty voltage with
a power box from this company out to a pole and,
say there you. Go now you have a dedicated charging.
Space the problem is if you live in an area

(01:02:27):
where you have enough space to do, that your services
are probably not as, needed or, conversely maybe they are needed.

Speaker 4 (01:02:34):
MORE i don't.

Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
KNOW i am constantly looking for ways to make money
in retirement that aren't full time. Jobs this is absolutely
on the, list one hundred percent on the. List because
if my only outlay of cash is installing the first,
charger and then if you know nobody uses, it, Fine
i'll use it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:54):
Whatever it's. Fine i'm.

Speaker 3 (01:02:56):
Fascinating it's a GREAT i think it's a great. Idea
somebody that Text, NAY i can't believe you're actually falling
for that. Nonsense what nonsense is? There it's a really good. Idea,
andy what does peer to peer? Mean and they said
P I E r to P I E. R i
mean p e E r two p e E r

(01:03:19):
peer to peer Meaning, dragon would you like to rent
a room in my house with no intervention by a?
COMPANY i would love to that's peer to peer. Transactions
we're Taking marriott and you Know Holiday.

Speaker 4 (01:03:31):

Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
WELL i love.

Speaker 4 (01:03:43):
It, see these are the kind of.

Speaker 3 (01:03:44):
Ideas this is Why i'm getting increasingly bullish ABOUT ai
because before electric, vehicles these guys didn't even this idea
would have seemed.

Speaker 4 (01:03:55):
Insane could could you?

Speaker 3 (01:03:57):
Imagine it's, Like i'm gonna start an app where you
can sign up to let people come charge their cell
phones at your. House in the first few, YEARS i
would have signed up for that. App, yes tell me
WHERE i could go charge my cell? Phone DO i
have my cell? Phone charge your? Head?

Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
An you?

Speaker 3 (01:04:12):
Would any. Would when we get back today's update on the,
ceasefire that is not a, ceasefire AND i will be
voicing my disappointment with SOMEONE i Agnore Representative Thomas massey when.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
We get back.

Speaker 3 (01:04:32):
Your handoff in the hallway that you, know the relay
style was just so.

Speaker 4 (01:04:37):
Impressive we're a great, team.

Speaker 3 (01:04:40):
The dragon AS i didn't know The dragon had this
cat like. REFLEXES i expected as much from. YOU i appreciate. That,
YEAH i keep them. YOUNG i had no, idea no. Clue,
okay there's so much stuff on the blog this. Hour
Chad dower's coming in at two forty to do so
now you, know and we're probably not going to get
to the story of the football player college football player

(01:05:01):
who a judge In, Laredo texas just upended everything about
the NCAA's rules against. GAMBLING i don't know where this
judge's season tickets are At Texas, tech BUT i bet
we see him at those. Games that's on the Blog
atmandy blog dot.

Speaker 4 (01:05:20):
Com check it.

Speaker 3 (01:05:21):
OUT i want to, talk of, COURSE i have to
have an update on The Iran, war because The Iran
war has become the greatest source of frustration for me right,
now because we just need to fight the damn war
and get it. Over i've said, before anything short of
regime change is a failure to, me and Whatever Donald

(01:05:41):
trump thinks he's doing right, now and of course he
has way more information THAN i. DO i want to
concede that. Point he has all the. Information but WHAT
i don't understand is why anyone would would leave anything
that comes out of the mouths of anyone can to
any part of The iranian regime at any. Level they've

(01:06:07):
done nothing but lie for forty nine. Years over the,
Weekend Donald trump got super mad Because israel fired back
When iran just you, know sent dozens of ballistic missiles
over At, israel And israel struck back with just lightning
precision as, always and they took out a big time

(01:06:32):
leader of The, well, okay the old leader got he
got snuffed. Out so the new leader has only been
in powerful like a. Month he just got wiped out
By israel in a surgical. Strike, Now iran has shot
down An apache helicopter that was patrolling the straits Of.

(01:06:54):
Moremus two pilots were. Involved both are safe and. Uninjured
Donald trump had this to, Say i've just been in
formi our great military that last night The iranians shot
down one of our highly Sophisticated apache helicopters while patrolling
over the street Of. Hormuz there were two pilots involved both.

Speaker 4 (01:07:11):
Are safe and.

Speaker 3 (01:07:11):
Uninjured, nevertheless The United states must of necessity respond to this.
Attack thank you for your attention to this. Matter what
does that? Mean Because Donald, TRUMP i know he loves a.
DEAL i he loves to talk about all the deals he's.

Speaker 1 (01:07:30):
BROKEN i get.

Speaker 3 (01:07:31):
It that's his. Reputation that's what he stakes. Is you,
know juice on making the. Deal but if you're making
deals with people who have never lived up to the
requirements of any deal that has ever been made with them, before,
ever what in the world makes you think this is
going to be. Different according To The Wall Street, journal

(01:07:55):
who initially, reported they say the development threatens to shatter
of fragile. Ceasefire, yeall there has been no. Ceasefire there's
been a ceasfire Between iran.

Speaker 4 (01:08:04):
And The United.

Speaker 3 (01:08:04):
STATES i was talking to my nephew In israel this.
Morning there has been a non stop barrage of rockets By.
Hesbelah the fighting Between israel And hesbela has not, stopped
not one, minute not one. Second frockets are firing in From.
Hesbela israel is fighting. Back that's why they're going Into,
beirut because the whole southern part Of lebanon.

Speaker 4 (01:08:25):
Is invested With.

Speaker 3 (01:08:26):
Hesbela The Wall Street journal says the development threatens to
shatter a fragile ceasefire that has been marked by repeated
skirmishes in and around the straight of Four. Moves The
president is previously TOLD, aids you would consider restarting the
war With iran If american service members are killed By.
Iran no one got, killed but will this be enough

(01:08:46):
to start the hot war? Again according To Eric, Doherty
President trump is probably about to order something big In
iran be blown up After iranians tried killing her troops
in An Apache steve Doo, Oh i'll just Let Steve doocy,
say CAN i have my? Audio? Please zach This Steve

(01:09:08):
doocy on the, developments.

Speaker 1 (01:09:11):
Come.

Speaker 11 (01:09:11):
On it probably means that The president is about to
order something big In iran be blown.

Speaker 1 (01:09:17):
Up we know a couple days ago he was in.

Speaker 11 (01:09:19):
The Oval office and was asked if a redline for
restarting a hot war Against iran would BE us troops being,
killed and he said that would be a good reason
to resume military. Operations there were NO us troops killed,
here but it seems Like iran was trying, really really
hard to KILL us troops because they did shoot down
An apache.

Speaker 1 (01:09:39):
Helicopter we've got the president's.

Speaker 11 (01:09:41):
Post he, Says i've just been informed by our great
military that last night The iranians shot down one of
our highly Sophisticated apache helicopters while patrolling over The strait Of.

Speaker 1 (01:09:49):
Hormoes there were two pileots. Involved both are safe and.

Speaker 11 (01:09:52):
Uninjured, nevertheless The United states must of necessity respond to this.

Speaker 1 (01:09:58):
Attack this IS i.

Speaker 11 (01:10:00):
Knew we have been told over the last couple of
hours that An apache was down and that an operational
first for THE us military was using this, drone this
water based.

Speaker 1 (01:10:10):
Drone we've got some info on. It it's a twenty.

Speaker 11 (01:10:13):
Four foot long a as the autonomous surface. Vessel they call
it The USNavy Course. Air it's got a one thousand
mile nautical range and thirty five top. Speed we don't
know exactly how the drone contributed to the circuit.

Speaker 4 (01:10:30):
And so on and so.

Speaker 3 (01:10:31):
Forth Now i'm going to talk About Representative thomas Mass
you guys, KNOW i love. HIM i love the. Guy
but yesterday on the floor of The house Of, representatives
he took to the floor for five minutes to go
over and memorialize the attack on THE Uss. Liberty so
a texture brought this up to me several weeks, ago

(01:10:52):
AND i.

Speaker 4 (01:10:54):
Knew about, it BUT i didn't know about.

Speaker 3 (01:10:55):
It SO i went and started digging into what happened
in THE us libertyduring The Seven Day war was attacked
By israelis and many many servicemen, died many many other
servicemen were. Injured And Representative Thomas massey presented the case
about THE Uss liberty for no other. Purpose he, says

(01:11:16):
to honor the men who lived through, it AND i have.

Speaker 4 (01:11:18):
No issue with.

Speaker 3 (01:11:19):
That but the purpose was to Portray israel as purposeful aggressors,
who on purpose and with, malice shot at An american
ship and Killed american service. Members there's a lot here
that he left. Out he left out the fact That
israel admitted it, Immediately they immediately. Apologized they compensated the

(01:11:42):
victims of THE Uss, liberty both the people who were
killed and the people that were. Injured we can argue
that they should have paid. More but the only PURPOSE
i feel That Thomas massey is doing this is to
try to Make israel look. Bad and when we get,
BACK i want to share the counterview of that back

(01:12:09):
and talking about the fact That Thomas massey was taken
to the floor of The house Of representatives to recount
the attack My. Israel THE Uss liberty and A texter
mentioned this not too many weeks, ago SO i did
a deeper. DIVE i actually went AND i read the
DECLASSIFIED cia report on the. Attack and my frustration With

(01:12:34):
Thomas massey is is the purpose of, this he, says
is to honor the people who survived the attack on
the anniversary of the, attack.

Speaker 4 (01:12:41):
Which is a noble.

Speaker 3 (01:12:42):
Cause but it's just too coincidental with his rather nasty
comments About. Israel AND i feel comfortable defending my position
In israel for the following. Reasons Number, One israel is
the center Of, christianity which is the majority faith in
The United states by a long.

Speaker 4 (01:13:02):
Shot and if the wrong kind.

Speaker 3 (01:13:05):
Of practitioners Of islam gain control of that, area there's
no doubt in my mind they will destroy every religiously
significant spot In Old, jerusalem because they've already done it
around the. World look what The taliban did With buddhist
statues that had been standing In afghanistan for.

Speaker 4 (01:13:25):
Centuries they just blew them. Up two we.

Speaker 3 (01:13:30):
The United states Of america is the Great. Satan israel
is the Little. Satan, now what do you think happens
If israel is? Destroyed, now let me tell you what
happens if The United states stops Supporting.

Speaker 4 (01:13:43):
Israel the chances Of israel seeing a.

Speaker 3 (01:13:48):
Mass slaughter like the ones they saw On october seventh
dramatically goes. Up because if we cut Off israel from
being able to buy our, weapons in our ammunition and
things like, that they make a lot of their own.

Speaker 4 (01:13:58):
Stuff NOW i have to add it to, them but ultimately.

Speaker 3 (01:14:05):
It would be very challenging and there's a chance that, many, many,
many many More jews would be, slaughtered And i'm not
okay with. That there's a lot Of americans who live In,
israel a lot Of American jews who live In, israel
and we would essentially, say we're okay with you guys.

Speaker 1 (01:14:25):
Dying we're fine with. It.

Speaker 3 (01:14:27):
Mandy when did this attack? Occur, Sorry i'm maybe joining too.
Late it was in nineteen sixty, Seventh june eighth of
nineteen sixty, seven off The Sinai. Peninsula so that is
why Ostensibly Thomas massew did. It, now but his absolute
hatred for The state Of israel for, me is very
shortsighted because If israel, false If israel ceases to, exist

(01:14:49):
and do not kid, yourself If israel laid down their arms,
Tomorrow israel would cease to exist within two weeks because
they would be overrun with people whose sole goal in
life is to Kill. Jews you don't have to ask.
Me you can look at their founding, documents you can
look at their religious. Texts kill The jews wherever they.

(01:15:11):
Hide so Once israel's, gone where do you think they
turn their? Attention now the Little satan's, gone where do
we go? Next AND i don't know if you guys
have already forgotten, this but Craziest lamas from The Middle
east have already demonstrated their prowess when it comes to
attacking The United states Of. America untraditionally to be, sure
but they can do. It so, Yeah i'm perfectly fine

(01:15:36):
with standing in the trenches With israel against this part
Of islam which is hell bent or not Just israel's,
destruction but The United states Of america's.

Speaker 4 (01:15:45):
Destruction if it's not, today it's going to be. Tomorrow
and one of.

Speaker 3 (01:15:51):
The reasons That ISRAEL i think is getting more bold
in defying What President trump says he wants them to.
Do is because unlike, us we're fighting to lower gas
prices before the, midterms they're fighting for their very. EXISTENCE
i was chatting with my nephew this. Morning as a
nine month old. Daughter she's never not known war her whole.

(01:16:11):
Life somebody's shooting rockets at her for people who in
most ways share our value. System for us not to
align ourselves with that against people who do not share
our value, system to me is. Crazy but you know,
What Representative Thomas massey can do what he wants on that,
ONE i just, strongly strongly. Disagree BUT i have a

(01:16:40):
question BECAUSE i have to Meet. Chuck we're looking for
a third automobile right. Now and What i'm looking for
you guys in the next seven minutes is. This if
you drive a mid size, suv and if you're driving
A Rang drover or something really, expensive don't. Bother that's
not What i'm looking. For this is the car that's
going to be used mostly by my. Kid mid sized

(01:17:02):
suv that you really, love that has had great, reliability
that's like a solid car THAT i could buy one
that's six years, old for a reasonable amount of. Money
tell me what that, is because right now it's Looking Honda,
Passport Honda. Pilot just BECAUSE i The honda THAT i
had BEFORE i had A HONDA. Crv that, CAR i
probably could still be driving. It and it was a

(01:17:23):
two Thousand WHEN i HAD q in two thousand and,
Nine chuck made me get rid of.

Speaker 4 (01:17:27):
It And i'm so little salty about.

Speaker 3 (01:17:29):
That it was the Boxy HONDA crv and it had.
Zach it had a folding table in the.

Speaker 4 (01:17:36):
BACK i was.

Speaker 1 (01:22:29):
Get.

Speaker 3 (01:22:32):
Anyway, okay that was very helpful in a very quick. Way,
actually not helpful at. All you guys didn't narrow anything,
down not even a little.

Speaker 4 (01:22:39):
Bit, Jeez.

Speaker 3 (01:22:41):
Louise, Anyway Chad bower's in because When ross moved in,
mornings we kind a very special. Deal SO i got
to keep the radio. Bit so now you know we've
originated which originated on The Ross Kaminski. Show Because Chad
bauer has lots of useless information and ladies and, gentlemen
now this is so now you know?

Speaker 2 (01:23:05):
Now, no.

Speaker 1 (01:23:10):
All, right, Okay so are you a fan of bubble?

Speaker 3 (01:23:14):
WRAP i actually have a piece of bubble wrap at
my desk right, now And i've been popping it just
a few a time a, Day, yes just a few
like five.

Speaker 1 (01:23:22):
Six pop up stress. Release. Yes but do you know
what the original design or the original purpose of bubble
wrap was when they invented?

Speaker 3 (01:23:32):
It?

Speaker 1 (01:23:35):
Kids it was not packing, material.

Speaker 4 (01:23:37):
The individually wrapping.

Speaker 1 (01:23:38):
Gumballs it could, be, yeah but it's.

Speaker 2 (01:23:41):
Not.

Speaker 1 (01:23:42):
No it was invented back in nineteen fifty seven by
a couple of dudes Named Alfred fielding And Mark.

Speaker 4 (01:23:48):
Shavanas oh, Yeah fielding And shavanas The modulty In.

Speaker 1 (01:23:51):
New, jersey very famous of the. Inventors so what they
were trying to do was home. Decor it was their
creation trapped air between two shower curtains run through a
heat ceiling. Machine they wanted this to be textured wallpaper
for the young.

Speaker 3 (01:24:09):
Crowd, yeah could you imagine just walking into somebody's house
and kind of leaning, Over but you got shot when.

Speaker 1 (01:24:15):
You say bouncing off the? Walls could actually you could do.

Speaker 3 (01:24:18):
It that's that's, Fascinating but what a dumb. Idea and
it failed miserable for that. Purpose that's just a dumb. Idea,
No so.

Speaker 1 (01:24:25):
Then they pivoted and, said, well what else could this
this could be used? For so then they, decided, well
let's try insulation in. GREENHOUSES i mean Maybe, yeah that
was a big.

Speaker 4 (01:24:40):
Bust, TOO i bet that's fun.

Speaker 1 (01:24:42):
Intended so finally and they figured, out you, know this
may be okay for packing. Materials so they formed the
company because back when they invented it was called air.
Cap and then they formed the Company Sealed Air corporation
in nineteen sixty and began doing. This and about a
year later they just happened to get a big contract

(01:25:04):
WITH ibm they had just invented an early, computer the
fourteen oh, one and they, said this is going to
be way better than what you're using newspaper straw, horsehair.

Speaker 4 (01:25:17):
Of, COURSE i mean as one.

Speaker 1 (01:25:18):
Does, Yes i'm never packing things with horsehair all the.

Speaker 4 (01:25:21):
Time who?

Speaker 8 (01:25:21):
Does just?

Speaker 1 (01:25:23):
Yesterday and so they they got, that and so then
it took, off became a shipping industry. Standard they've got
six patents related to, it and seal their continues to
make new. Versions But i'm not a fan of the
version that doesn't.

Speaker 3 (01:25:35):
Pop, well do you know who invented? That cluse say,
Then John. Rozenberger i'm not. Kidding John rozenberger holds the
patent on the news style that doesn't.

Speaker 1 (01:25:45):
Pop it, sucks, yes but.

Speaker 3 (01:25:48):
It's more environmentally, Friendly.

Speaker 1 (01:25:50):
Chad, yes. Stupid well do you know why bubble wrap
is so effective as a packing?

Speaker 3 (01:25:55):
MATERIAL i thought you were going to say as a stress.
Reliever i'm, LIKE i want to hold get back to. Next,
yeah eyes so affected because it ends up sort of
being cushion on cushion on.

Speaker 1 (01:26:05):
Cushion, yep the shock absorbed shouldn't prevents the. Damage that's
a big. One but even more, important it's so, lightweight
act that much extra for the, shipping because when you're
shipping you know millions of. Things that really adds. Up
and then it's. Customizable you can make any size of
bubble wrap for any type of product that you want to, wrap.

Speaker 3 (01:26:23):
And there you. GO i actually have. Some it's, big
big bubbles like. That they're like.

Speaker 1 (01:26:28):
That oh, YEAH i don't like.

Speaker 3 (01:26:29):
The little tiny bubbles as, much even though that should
be more, satisfying like when you twist it and it
can do like that like you're setting off. Fireworks, yes so,
ODDLY i don't find that as satisfying as the single
pop pop pop of the large.

Speaker 4 (01:26:44):
Bubbles.

Speaker 1 (01:26:44):
Yes and do you know? Why what is the psychology
of why we love popping bubble wrap so?

Speaker 3 (01:26:49):
Much i'm gonna needdle this around for a. Second let's
see here what is. Satisfying first of, all you get
to blow something, up so that's, cool and it makes
a noise that's kind of festive, noise like a little.
Pop but and you also defeated the, plastics so.

Speaker 4 (01:27:05):
There's a little bit of a build up to your
ego in all of.

Speaker 1 (01:27:07):
That it is, well the one thing is that you
talked about the sensory feedback the sound and the fuel
and what that does is it triggers dopamine response in your,
brain and so that's why it helps relief. Stress and
just anything, repetitive anything helps relief, stress or just the
pop pop just the repetitiveness of it helps do. That
and then there's the nostalgia. Factor what's the nostalgia? Factor you,

(01:27:29):
know remembering as a, kid how much fun you had
with bubble wrap and pep in it and walking on. It, yeah,
yeah and so you kind of have that nostalgia hearkening
back to your to the.

Speaker 3 (01:27:38):
Tube it is amazing the joy that packing materials of
various kinds have given me over the. Years give me
a good refrigerator. Box WHEN i was a, kid AND
i was good for a, while we make all kinds
of stuff out of a refrigerator. Box and then of
course break dancing, happened and then people would immediately break
up the refrigerator box to lay it on the floor
so people could spin on their heads and pop and
lock and bring it back to the pop and. Lock,

(01:28:00):
yes as a metal, guy where are you.

Speaker 4 (01:28:03):
On the pop and lock?

Speaker 1 (01:28:04):
Scene?

Speaker 4 (01:28:04):
Chad i'm.

Speaker 1 (01:28:05):
NOT i MEAN i liked breaking two electric. BOGLOO i,
mean who. Doesn't it wasn't a big fan of the
original with Us allie And jerry.

Speaker 4 (01:28:12):
Was a little thin In Electric boogloo.

Speaker 1 (01:28:15):
One yes it.

Speaker 4 (01:28:16):
Was they were lying on the dancing a little too.

Speaker 3 (01:28:17):
Much people are concerned on the text line finding out
that you have A subaru that you are indeed a.

Speaker 4 (01:28:23):
Lesbian is that?

Speaker 3 (01:28:25):
True he is married to a, Woman that's All i'm.
Saying i'm just you, KNOW i mean He's you could
make an argument that you, KNOW i like.

Speaker 1 (01:28:36):
It it's, yeah it's a very nice vehicle for.

Speaker 3 (01:28:39):
Me they do have some good looking. Supers but MAYBE
i want an egg dropping contest in junior high simply
by wrapping it in bubble.

Speaker 1 (01:28:47):
Wrap.

Speaker 3 (01:28:48):
Brilliant see these kids in their. Smartness did you ever
have that?

Speaker 4 (01:28:52):
Thing and did you have physics where you had to
build the.

Speaker 3 (01:28:55):
Egg drop thing and then you had to drop it
and whoever didn't break won the honor of being the
egg drop chair.

Speaker 1 (01:29:02):
Or whatever it, was or if it, broke you got
an F.

Speaker 3 (01:29:05):
I wanted to win, it BUT i wasn't good at,
physics SO i did not win. IT i actually think
trying to remember if mine, broke like in the process
of even dropping.

Speaker 4 (01:29:15):
It it just was unmitigated.

Speaker 1 (01:29:17):
Disasion you should have done. It you should have snuck
a hard boiled egg in there and swapped him.

Speaker 3 (01:29:20):
Out all of my classmates, did and he actually got
AN f like the rest of us just got you,
know bad grade or. Whatever, yeah but, Yeah i'm, sorry
go ahead and.
