Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:05):
No, it's Mandy Connell on KOAM ninety one.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
F M.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
God, can.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
We don't have music?

Speaker 3 (00:23):
All right?

Speaker 5 (00:24):
You talk over it?

Speaker 4 (00:25):
I know, I said, Ben, listen up, and he starts
talking over the song.

Speaker 5 (00:29):
You have a same song.

Speaker 4 (00:29):
I know you just noticed that. No, I've been jealous
of that.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
He did.

Speaker 5 (00:34):
Just notice because you didn't know when the imaging stop.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
It's pretty good, all right, thanks to Tie my listener.

Speaker 5 (00:39):
Talk over these.

Speaker 6 (00:40):
No, we don't talk until morning in the song.

Speaker 5 (00:42):
Okay, well, my bad.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
We talk as an amateur moment, har you did the
same thing.

Speaker 6 (00:50):
Because Ben already started it.

Speaker 5 (00:52):
I am an amateur. He's Ben. I know you're Mandy.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
I just rolled with it. I've had a busy morning
this morning, too much coffee. Do you ever hit a
point in the morning where you're like, I have too
much coffee right now? You do not drink those energy drinks.
Those are terrible for you, Ben.

Speaker 5 (01:07):
This is my second bottle of.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
They're just chemicals. I mean, they're great if you don't
have children. They're great if you don't care about the
in inner workings. Of your body.

Speaker 6 (01:19):
Oh you know, I'm telling you right now.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
They gave my, uh, one of my relatives fatty liver disease.
Skinny guy doesn't drink alcohol ends up with fatty liver
disease because of energy drinks. Well, just saying anyway, Ben's
actually in here for a purpose. And if you have
not heard, uh, it looks like we're going to be
getting a new Broncos stadium now coming up in the
Sports show at three we have three o'clock. We've got

(01:42):
Garrett Moles coming on the show. At three fifteen, Demanti Lynch,
the president of the Broncos, coming on, and then at
three thirty Mayor Mike Johnston. We already has time to
do the afternoon show, but can't ever pop onto this.
It's so strange the scheduling conflicts on that. But he's
the mayor, is going to be on it three thirty,
and then of course Rod Smith is going to weigh
in today as well, because the big news is that

(02:04):
we have a location, and the bigger news in my
mind is that the Broncos ownership is paying for it.

Speaker 5 (02:12):
That's right.

Speaker 7 (02:12):
We've also, by the way, I got Steve Atwater on
some little show that could called Broncos Country tonight.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
I didn't get that on my that's it for Dave Tepper.

Speaker 5 (02:18):
Nobody gets those memos.

Speaker 7 (02:20):
Yeah, yeah, that's I think the big news is that
this And keep in mind this verbiage applies to the
stadium itself, right, the stadium itself is going to be
privately financed. That does not mean that there won't be
public money involved in some of the infrastructure improvements around
the area. Obviously we already know there's a sidewalk tax
in Denver, you know, and all that kind of stuff.
But they are not seeking the usual roughly seven hundred

(02:41):
and fifty million dollars in public financing that most other
billionaires out there.

Speaker 5 (02:47):
But this is not they're the second team.

Speaker 7 (02:48):
But the Chicago Bears are the same thing, not seeking
public financing. And we're wondering if that's pushback against populist
attitudes lately with the billionaires come asking for money.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
Ultimately, there's a couple of things in play here. Number One,
billionaires don't get to be billionaires by using their own money, right,
I mean, that's just the fact of the matter. Everything
is leveraged and and that's how you get to be
a billionaire. I've heard. I wouldn't know, But the reality
is is that they now have complete control over the stadium.
They don't have to ask the city for anything. They
can do whatever it is they want to do. If
they want to have a concert there for that, they

(03:17):
can do whatever they want to do. Right, So that
is used properly. We've seen stadiums be continuous money makers,
not just on those Sundays in in football season, right,
So I think there's that And to your point, I
do think they know we're not in a mood, right
like the people are not.

Speaker 5 (03:35):
We're not in a mood.

Speaker 6 (03:36):
To raise our own taxes.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
So incredibly wealthy people don't have to pony.

Speaker 5 (03:41):
Up, right, and they are incredibly well where the work?

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Now?

Speaker 6 (03:44):
What did they pay for the Broncos?

Speaker 5 (03:47):
Six dollars?

Speaker 6 (03:47):
That's what I was thinking.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
I was thinking anywhere from six to eight billion, that
was in my mind. And so they already have I
mean they can leverage that, right you can. Like can
you imagine them sitting down with a loan officer at
a bank, It's like, do you have any collateral? Well,
we have the Denver Broncos. We'd like to offer, Well.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
Have a nation wide chain of Walmart.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
Exactly do we get the if you guys don't pay,
do we get your entire lifebacker class?

Speaker 6 (04:12):
What happens there?

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Like?

Speaker 4 (04:13):
How does that work? So they've got the money, and
now we have a location in Burnham Yards, and you know,
for the city of Denver, I think that's great. I
was bombed. I wanted to be a loan Tree because
I live in Douglas County. It would have been very
convenient for me. But overall, I think for the city,
I think for the team, this makes the it's the
best choice. Logistically for sure.

Speaker 7 (04:34):
I think that was part of the problem with Loan Trees,
that the assessments showed that logistically, I'm not sure the
city of Loan Tree could handle the influx of not
only seventy thousand game watchers, but all the people tangentially
are peripherally wanting to come out be around it at
the bars and stuff like that. That amount of traffic
down there on Loan Tree was not.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
There's I mean that's I live down in that area
of I twenty five in a RidgeGate and it's being
developed now and there's a bunch of apartment going up
and stuff. And if they were going to do it,
it would have had to have been two years ago,
you know what I'm saying, So you could have structured
things a little bit better traffic wise. That would have
been fantastic down south. But the reality is the opportunities

(05:13):
for all of the for Jerry World, right, which is
what this is all about. We're going to have you know,
Bronco World around the stadium. Yeah, we really will. And
so I think that that's really interesting. Here's a couple
of questions that I've already gotten on the text line
Number one PSLs. Let's talk about those sheet licenses. Those
are gonna be like, start saving your pennies. You have
six years kind of thing. What are we looking at here?

Speaker 7 (05:34):
Expected completion date is roughly right now, is twenty thirty one.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
So there will be on time. By the way, because
it's a privately fund adventure, there will be no obscene
cost overruns. There will be no obscene time overruns. This
thing will run like a tightly wound machine. And I
wonder if it opens even earlier.

Speaker 5 (05:51):
Right, well, it won't open earlier.

Speaker 7 (05:52):
They're contractually obligated through the least for twenty thirty So okay, technically,
open summer concerts.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
Can you imagine like working the King out instead of
opening instead of opening for pre season? Yes, and then
but if you have all summer to work the kinks out,
that would be ideal.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
That's that's and the league does that too.

Speaker 7 (06:09):
The first year that the Broncos would be eligible for
a Super Bowl, assuming the twenty thirty one completion date,
would be twenty thirty two. They like to have a
season played at the stadium to make sure there's nothing,
you know, before they awarded a super Bowl. So the
Broncos could be looking at a super Bowl awarded to
the city of Denver as soon as twenty thirty two.
But as it sits right now, it's twenty thirty one
is the expected completion on this. No no private fund

(06:31):
I excise you, no public funds for the stadium itself,
and those are the big things that they want out there.
It's interesting because the current stadium was done for about
seven hundred and fifty million dollars twenty five years ago.
And you know that's that's the amount of just public money.
This is expected to cost somewhere between one point eight
and four billion dollars.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
Yea, inks cost that much Now that's Lair's in place,
that's what. And that's going to have a retractable dome
and all that.

Speaker 7 (06:55):
Infractable roof, but they are expected to keep that open.
Is not expected to be closed for Broncos game.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
It's only going to be closed so we can get
a super Bowl.

Speaker 7 (07:01):
Let's be real, you have only included so you have
to get a super Bowl exactly, and they'll probably close
it so they can start having February concerts.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
Right, Yeah, that would be Although I've given up stadium shows,
I have no interest in going to a stadium concert ever. Again,
it's just too many people.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
And one look at what happened in a cold play.

Speaker 6 (07:20):
That's what I need to worry about that.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
Thanks for that.

Speaker 6 (07:23):
So a couple other questions.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
What happens to Mile High Well right.

Speaker 7 (07:27):
Now, that will still remain the home of the Broncos
through twenty thirty. Obviously we'll still play there after that.
And this is uh, we'll call it speculation on my
part for now. That is possibly that that would be
raised and used for housing. Housing would be built.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
Well, you know you got the project going on, the Insues,
not the Hues, the Cronkey project right across twenty five, right,
So that project should be well underway, like like already
completed some of the phases of that project. So it
would be interesting if they would how connect those two
areas of all this new construction with some kind of underpass, overpass,

(08:06):
some kind of bus system. I think that would make sense.

Speaker 7 (08:08):
You surprised to see in the end housing built on
top of an entertainment district at the first floor with
an under you know here, that's what they're talking about.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
Yeah, and I like trying to cagy about it, but
I got to tell you, man, I actually love that
renovation of that area. The plans are really spectacular.

Speaker 5 (08:24):
Yeah, it's they have what I although I've.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
Turned since I went to Japan, I've changed my whole
attitude about urban planning. And here's why hear me out.
So in Japan. You've seen the videos of Japan. Have
you ever been there?

Speaker 5 (08:35):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (08:35):
Okay, so you know the big when you're in a
in a retail or or office area, right, Like, go
down this road and you'll see a skyscraper that goes
up maybe ten twenty floors tops. They're not super high,
but there will be signage for retail all the way
up like eight or nine floors up, and they hyper

(08:56):
pack everything in Japan on the front side of those
buildings all the way up, so you get a ton
of retail, office space, whatever on that front side right
on the street.

Speaker 6 (09:06):
But you walk two blocks.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
Over and you are in an extremely quiet neighborhood. So
you're two blocks away from literally everything that you need.
But when you walk those two blocks away, it is
like you're in a suburb. It's pretty amazing. I mean,
that's the kind of stuff when like we need to
sort of look at that kind of stuff to provide
a living environment that we already enjoy in some parts

(09:28):
of Denver.

Speaker 7 (09:29):
There are elements of that that we could certainly take.
I think they are a bit more efficient. And I'm
being charitable and saying that instead of we like things bigger,
I mean we do, you know, they like that they
are a little it's a little more we'll just call
it cramped right there as far as some of that
stuff goes. So there are elements of that that we
could certainly to design almost we could certainly take. Although
we had Americans love our our own personal transit and

(09:52):
we love our space a little bit more than perhaps
that culture does.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
You know they can't afford anything over there? Everything's so expensive.
I've got a text message from.

Speaker 6 (10:02):
Grumpy Steve Mandy.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
Will Denver area residents be reimbursed for taxes they paid
on a fifty year stadium that's being demolished after only
twenty one years, Steve, Steve, Steeve, Steve Steve, You, sir,
are expecting a political promise to be kept.

Speaker 7 (10:18):
And again that's not one hundred percent, but that is
I think the direction that they're sort of as they
look for alternative plans. I would suggest that if you're
looking for money back from the government, you could probably
squeeze a stone in one hand and see if you
get juice out of it and hold out your hand
waiting for the government to give you money in the
other and see which comes first.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
This is actually a really good point from one of
our texters. I've worked on a couple stadium jobs, and
most domed stadiums aren't weather proof and can't keep the
dome open in cold weather. So I guess my question is, well,
Lebroncos paid to weather proof the inside of their stadium
for freezing temperatures. In addition to the dome and that's
a good point because indoor stadiums have amenities that we

(10:58):
don't have here. Right you go. And I don't know
if this is still the same because it's been many
years since I sat in these seats, the front row
of seats at Trumpicana Field, which I am one of
the five people who love it. I love trop I
love the Trump. But in the front row of the
seats they have leather. First of all, you're sitting in
a leather requiner, and then they have computers that come
out of the arm rest that you can get all
the stats and replays and everything right there. It's the

(11:20):
coolest thing ever. You can't do that in an open statem.

Speaker 7 (11:23):
No, And that's a good question that I'll have to
ask when I get a chance to ask some questions
on all that. That's one of those little minutia details
things that I have not that I have not drilled
down on yet. And there's still in the planning stages
of some of this. They don't have a finalized design
for the stadium, so right now they can't give me
a firm answer. But I would suggest that maybe planting
that seed would be a good idea.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
At a press conference, right, somebody said Steve is not
wrong or some good to come back to the city
and not private podcasts.

Speaker 6 (11:49):
You guys, that money's already gone.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
Yeah right, that money is so so incredibly gone it's
not even funny. Now, if the city is smart, they
can recoup some of that investment by using that land,
because that land is in a pretty dang good place.

Speaker 5 (12:04):
Yeah, I mean pretty good.

Speaker 7 (12:05):
It's a pretty sweet spot, which is interesting because it
had sat there, you know, obviously vacant for a while.
With the new location and all that kind of stuff,
there's some pretty there's some pretty sweet stuff that I.

Speaker 5 (12:16):
Think could come of that.

Speaker 7 (12:17):
And if they do put this sort of entertainment district
thing that I think that they're going to go with
a lot with the residential stuff, you could see without
doing anything, you could see a boon back in taxes
that would help alleviate some of that. So I understand
where you're coming from. But at the same time, I
think some of these proposals do help. It would end

(12:38):
up bringing money back, right this one.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
Is there any projection on seating capacity? I don't think
any remote design details have been released, but I can't
imagine they would make fewer seats.

Speaker 5 (12:50):
There is not more seats. There is not a finalized design.

Speaker 7 (12:53):
But when we first reported on this, and I'm gonna
be honest, this thing's breaking today. However, we reported every
one of these details before the I was on a
Cardinals preseason game of the Broncos Insider segment right here
on KOA.

Speaker 5 (13:04):
There is not a finalized design.

Speaker 7 (13:07):
I would suggest that nothing less than seventy two thousand
seats would be some would be a design that they
would be.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Yeah. Four, I just can't see them going down, can't.
I can't see them taking away butts in the seats, right.

Speaker 7 (13:19):
And if you know anything about the premise behind Walmart
and how they built to begin with, it's built on maximizing.

Speaker 5 (13:25):
The number right volume with smaller margins.

Speaker 4 (13:27):
Will there be a Walmart in the new stadium? It
would be kind of cute if there was like a
little baby Walmart that just sold Broncos stuff at good prices.
You know, I'm kind of here for it, the little
you know, the little smiles. Yeah, that would be super tol.

Speaker 5 (13:39):
I'm here for it while you're here.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
And then, guys, I'm gonna do the I'll do the
blog and everything right after this, but Ben was here,
so somebody just asked about the women's soccer stadium. Now,
I don't know if you do this. I don't know
if you knew this, but one of the city council members.
As a matter of fact, she is the city council
member for the district that is supposed to get the
women's soccer stadium. She's now expressing concern about the seventy

(14:00):
mil that Denver was supposed to sink into that, mostly
because they just laid off a bunch of people and
they're two hundred and fifty million dollars short and they're
going to drop seventy mil on infrastructure stuff for the
women's soccer stadium. My prediction is this is just her
posturing so it makes it look like she cares about
city workers. But it will eventually pass.

Speaker 7 (14:17):
There'll be a pet project or a bridge named after
her shortly, right, you know how that works. I think
from what I understood from the women's and i'd have
to go back and look at this. I don't want
to make a definitive claim with not going back and
look at this, but from what I understand, the money
that's outlaid for that women's soccer City is expected to
be paid back in full.

Speaker 5 (14:33):
Yeah, so I think that still stands.

Speaker 7 (14:36):
It's a bad look in the moment when you've got
the Walton Pentner group coming out here and saying we're
gonna private, We're gonna private with on this.

Speaker 6 (14:42):
I will say.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
Somebody just said the old Mile High would be great
for women's soccer. Okay, let's just be real here. Do
you really want to see game after game of empty
stadium seats because we are we're a good bit away
years wise of having women's soccer fill up a seventy
two thousand seat. That's the stadium posing seats fourteen thousand,
five hundred, which they could probably sell out, and that

(15:03):
would be great, makes the game exciting, makes the tickets
high demand. If you put them in in Mile High,
it would be sad.

Speaker 5 (15:11):
Yeah, that would be and it would just be sad
with all due respect.

Speaker 7 (15:14):
And I am a recent over the last four or
five years soccer fan. Dix Sportinggood Park, where the Colorado
Rapids men's team played, has the ability The usual capacity
seven seventeen thousand, four hundred and it can get up
to nineteen with some expansions that they have in there,
and they don't sell out the seventeen four. So to
give you an idea of that, you really want to

(15:34):
put a let's say the men's soccer team. That's when
a seventeen to four capacity in a stadium that seats
seventy five thousand, you don't want to yeah and see
fifty thousand empty seats. If you've ever watched the UFL
game in the spring, you really don't want to do that.

Speaker 6 (15:48):
Ah, that's so so accurate. All right, this is Mandy.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
Do you think they will make it the largest NFL stadium?
You know what the consistent ticket sales that the Broncos
have had. I think there would be a temptation to
swing for it, But I also think that can bite
you in the butt.

Speaker 7 (16:05):
It can, And from what I understand, no, that is
not what is expected. Largest NFL stadium by seating capacity
right now is MetLife, which seats eighty two thousand and
five hundred.

Speaker 5 (16:15):
I do not expect that to be the case here.

Speaker 6 (16:17):
Well, this one, this guy just said.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
I was just in Nashville and got a tour of
the new stadium being built there. I was shocked to
learn that stadium capacity is only about sixty thousand, right,
I hope the Broncos have at least eighty K. The
current stadium is seventy six and change.

Speaker 7 (16:30):
I would suggest that they're probably the seating capacity will
be between seventy and seventy five. That is what the
NFL shoots for at this point. Largest stadiums in America
typically belong to universities, college stadiums where you can get
close to one hundred thousand can I just I.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
Mean I went to Florida State University and when I
went there, the stadium only held seventy two thousand people, right,
So it's such a different vibe to have when you
go to like ann Arbor, Michigan.

Speaker 6 (16:56):
Have you ever been to a game in ann Arbor?

Speaker 5 (16:58):
I've not.

Speaker 4 (16:59):
Holy crap, Emoli, and I'm just going to say this.
When we came out here and everybody was talking about
the CSUC rivalry, it's kind of adorable.

Speaker 6 (17:07):
When you're used to really big time, Yeah, I mean,
when you're.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
From really big football country, Yeah, it's not it's not
the same.

Speaker 6 (17:15):
But when you go to a game in ann.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
Arbor or Ohio State where you're looking at eighty five
thousand people and they're all rabid fans. It's glorious. Yeah,
it's so good. I mean, even if you're on the
opposing teams fans, you still got to kind of recognize
how amazing it is.

Speaker 5 (17:31):
Yeah, I had.

Speaker 7 (17:31):
I mean I went to a high school at a
town that had fifty five hundred people in the stadium
set ten to five, and it was right jam packed.

Speaker 5 (17:38):
You know.

Speaker 7 (17:39):
So it's weird seeing sort of the patch of dirt
stuff here in Colorado, relatively speaking.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
I know, it's kind of cute though they're so excited
about it.

Speaker 5 (17:46):
Anyway.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
Ben Albright can be heard tonight on Broncos Country Tonight
with Steve Atwater to talk more about this. Ben, thanks
for hanging around for a minute.

Speaker 5 (17:53):
Thanks for having me.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
All right, we'll be back with the blog right after this.
Ben chitchat about new Broncos Stadium because that's exciting. It's
very exciting, a lot of unknown, but we know the
location and I want to remind people coming up at
Broncos Country. Uh excuse me. Coming up on Kawai Sports
at three o'clock, we start with Barrett Garrett Bowles at
three at three point fifteen, we're talking to Broncos President
Demanty Leach at three thirty mayor Mike Johnston, and then

(18:16):
a little bit later in the show Broncos Great Rod
Smith is going to give us his thoughts on all
of that, and then of course Steve Atwater around Broncos
Country tonight, so all of that talk continuing. Find the

that says nine to nine twenty five blog. Wait a minute, yeah,
it is nine to nine. Why did I think today

are the headlines you will find within.

Speaker 5 (18:48):
I think with someone who office half of America all
with ships and clipments as to press plant.

Speaker 4 (18:54):
Today on the blog did the Denver Gazette kill its
own editorial? Scientists discover God but calls it aliens? Climate
change is making us fat? Another dangerous, mentally ill person
is released onto our streets. It tastes like hate and gunpowder.
Tucker Carlson has fully jumped the shark. Don't fall for
the Colorado Dems idiocy. Could Denver do an about face

(19:15):
on supporting a new women's soccer stadium. Republicans stop shady
name change, any interesting way to list a billionaire? Denver
voters will decide on a flavor tobacco ban. Israel just
took out hamas command. We have more clarity on the
new Broncos stadium today. A new girl Scout cookie is coming.
Almost a million jobs evaporated cops are finally saying the

(19:38):
quiet part out loud. Holy cow.

Speaker 6 (19:41):
Students can't read or do math.

Speaker 4 (19:43):
Greta theoterberg makes stuff up. The annual defrost has begun.
Dad tries out gen z slang, how decent adults handle

gotta tell you one of the most illuminating videos you've
set me in some time.

Speaker 6 (20:10):
How to reheat a slice of pizza?

Speaker 4 (20:12):
Do you do this?

Speaker 5 (20:13):
Was this news to you?

Speaker 4 (20:14):
Well, I have a toaster oven h huh, so I'll
put it in the microwave for like twenty seconds just
to take the cold off and then slide it into
the toaster oven. And that's very effective. But now I
find out I'm doing it wrong.

Speaker 5 (20:25):
Hey, nobody got time for that. Mic Wedg's fine, But so.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
You're totally disagreeing with this guy from Joey's Pizza in Hosta.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Oh no, I'm not disagreeing. I'm sure it makes it better.
Nobody got time for that.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
But I want to know if any of you guys
had heard this. He says, you take a slice of pizza,
you put it in a pan on the stove. You
put an ice cube in the pan and then put
a lid on it, and that crisps up the crust.
The steam from the ice cube melts the cheese and
gets everything else hot. And I want to have pizza now,

(20:55):
just to try this out. But I just had pizza
last Saturday for the first time in a long time.
I got a space out my pizza and some chatz do.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
I I bet this is better, but give me a
solid minute thirty in the microwave.

Speaker 5 (21:05):
Perfectly fine.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
I made at thirty. That's a lot.

Speaker 5 (21:07):
Yeah, I want it to be hot. I don't.

Speaker 6 (21:09):
I just want the shot off pizza. A cold pizza.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
No, I like cold. I've developed that taste in college
when we did not have a microwave, and I was like, oh,
what am I gonna do here? I'm gonna eat a cold.

Speaker 5 (21:19):
Oh no, I would if I had to. But I
still like cold pizza.

Speaker 4 (21:23):
No, but if I'm going to heat it up, Like
you know, I have the two step process, the two
machine process, which is now about to be made into
a single thing. I'll have a full report on that
very very shortly.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
Lose forty eight hours to feeling bloated.

Speaker 6 (21:38):
This well, I made well.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
We made the pizzas at home. I made the dough,
I made everything. I made everything from scrap. No, no, no, no,
no no no. I don't do sheet pizza. When I
do get pizza, it's expensive pizza.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Well this, yeah, you and I differ. Yeah, I think
fast food pizza is the best pizza. I hate gourmet
and deep dish pizza.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
Well, I will strongly disagree with you because I don't
want to eat a big plate full of chemicals. I
don't want to do that.

Speaker 5 (22:03):
Well, every now and then, it's fine, just like energy drinks.

Speaker 4 (22:06):
Yeah, well, no, no energy. It's kind of like we're
getting to the point now where people are starting to
recognize that the things that we regularly consume or we're like,
you know what, in moderation, it's fine, it's really not.
Some things are just bad for you and don't need
to be a part of a healthy human's diet. Uh huh, Mandy, Yes,
I always use a pan with a lid to reheat pizza.

(22:26):
No need for the ice cube. I don't know. I'm
going to take Joey's pizza and Pasta's word for it,
make that happen. So there you go, Mandy. Once again,
your producer is wrong about food. Mandy, who has the
time to do that? I usually microwave it, eat it cold,
or on a rare occasion, use my air fryer.

Speaker 5 (22:43):
Oh, the air fryer.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Now that on reheating pretty much anything, especially number one
reheated thing in the air fryer, French fries.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
Well, my daughter like on occasion when we are kind
of all doing our own thing, we call it, you know,
like feasts for famine for dinner when I'm not doing
anything constructive. A lot of times she's like leftovers. Uh,
for me, it's leftovers. But neither Chuck nor q enjoy
leftovers like I can eat leftovers all day long. I
don't care. Didn't make any difference.

Speaker 5 (23:09):
Pass the smell test for good.

Speaker 8 (23:11):
Exactly if it's a little funky, oh no, no, no, then
it's gone.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
But it doesn't last though, Like I don't leave leftovers
long enough to go bad in the fridge. I just don't.
They're not going to be in there long enough. And nonetheless,
when we have feast or fam and sometimes cues like hey,
can you just maybe some pasta and meatballs? Frozen meatballs?
Frozen meatballs in the air fryer, h chef's kiss so
good because the outside is a little bit crispy, you know,
and the inside is not so good. So good anyway.

(23:40):
And to the person who said totinos, no, no, no, no, Mandy,
I had to laugh.

Speaker 6 (23:47):
Have they not heard of God?

Speaker 4 (23:48):
Exactly what I thought when I saw that headline. That
and the question, so how did the aliens get supposedly
start life on Earth get started? Do they not realize
they're just kicking the can down the corridor of the past.
What does Exter is talking about is a story on
the blog today. And by the way, when we come
back from this break here in about four or five minutes,
I would like you to tell me which story on

(24:10):
the blog you'd like me to talk about, because today
I have a bunch of weird stories on the blog,
just weird stories.

Speaker 6 (24:16):
We don't have any guests.

Speaker 4 (24:17):
Today, which is fine with me. But this story caught
my eye yesterday. I saw it and I had to
laugh out loud. There's a story that as a scientist, okay,
and the story that I read yesterday is a little
bit different than the story they have up here today,
But listen to this. A whole new theory has claimed

(24:39):
the origins on life on Earth were delivered by aliens
who were terraforming the planet into a habitable world billions
of years ago. Robert Endris, a scientist from Imperial College London,
said that the building blocks of Earth might be too
complex to have formed naturally, meaning they would have needed

(24:59):
some thing or someone to help kickstart the process. This idea,
known as directed prans permia, suggests that aliens might have
sent microbes or similar life forms to Earth to propel evolution,
forever changing humanity's view of where life comes from. Now,
you guys, with all due respect to this scientist, aliens

(25:22):
like God that billions of people believe in some version
of God. Right, every religion has a creation story. Every
single religion has a creator. Well, I don't know scientology does,
because I mean al Ron Hubberd made that one up, Okay,
but every religion has a creation story. And now this
scientist is like, yeah, you know what, We're too complex

(25:43):
to come out of primordial go, which I totally agree
with if you watch the science the nature shows that
I watch on BBC America. BBC does better nature shows
than any other anyone ever. They're just so good. But
one of the things that I always take away when
they're talking, like, for instance, were watching a nature show
a couple of days ago, and they have this little
tiny bat, and I can't remember where they were, but

(26:05):
this bat gets buried under the snow. And then at
some point in the winter, this bat wakes up. And
this little bat, which, by the way, his body temperature
has dropped to freezing and his heart his pulse rate
is one beat permanent, okay, one beat permanent while he's
in this hibernation state.

Speaker 6 (26:23):
And then in order to.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
Warm himself up, this little tiny bat he starts shivering
really really really hard to bring his body temperature up
to like seventy eight degrees and his heart rate up
to like two hundred and forty eight before he takes
flight to go chase after a very specific kind of
something to eat. Right, Like this little specialized bat, he
has all of these mechanisms to survive under the snow.

Speaker 6 (26:46):
And I'm thinking to myself.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
And you're telling me that that little tiny bat developed
all of these different, highly specialized little mechanisms. That this
little tiny frozen bat has to go through through what
means and millions and millions of cell mutations, millions and
millions of billions, and they have to mutate the exact
same way. And I realized that that some of you

(27:08):
who are like that day, are you questioning evolution. I'm
one of those people that think evolution and creation story
can exist at the same time. I really believe that.
But the notion that somehow we all came from the
same cell of primordial goo, that we have no idea
how that cell became life in the first place, We
really don't. We have no clue how that process would

(27:29):
have happened, no clue. We've never been able to replicate it. Well,
what's funny is. Scientists responding to this were like, you know,
there's not really any proof of aliens. Yeah, so why
not lean over and go Maybe maybe all of these
crazy people who believe in God they might be onto

(27:52):
something so weird it made me laugh out loud, though
I literally have six minutes, but I I want to
share this because I think that this texture, in expressing
his or her frustration, is speaking for a lot of people.
And in this it said, let me hang on one second,
let me pull up this whole text thread. Gotta do

(28:13):
it a couple different ways. Mandy, Believing in God is binary,
yes or no. You're talking about the miracle of life. Great,
But what did my twin sister do to deserve to
be raped? What lesson could want God want her to learn?
Why does God choose to let innocent children? You wish
or otherwise? You don't answer, You don't question God. Right,
then you have to accept that God lets little girls

(28:34):
and boys be raped. Okay, fine, but I want no
part of the party where God chooses to punish innocence
because blank us all Mandy, there's no middle ground here.
If you believe in God, then it makes sense that
he is all powerful because God chose my sister to
be raped. I'm really struggling to get on the God
is Great train. There's a lot going on in this,
and I understand exactly how you feel. I am one

(28:56):
of those people. I don't believe we have an interventionist god,
that is the God of the Old Testament, that would
smite people who would do terrible things. The Christian God, anyway,
is a god of free will, right, and free will
is what makes life so incredibly messy and unpleasant and
horrible for people that are victimized like your sister, or
little children, or people that are brutalized and raped and

(29:18):
murdered on all of those people, that poor Ukrainian woman
on a train. You can't look at that and say,
why would God let that happen. You can't have free will,
which is necessary for growth and development and choosing to
walk in God's path and have.

Speaker 6 (29:33):
Everything be neat and tidy.

Speaker 4 (29:36):
It's horrible to say that, And I do not want
to demean or downgrade or make it seem like I
am not taking what happened to your sister or anyone
else seriously.

Speaker 6 (29:44):
I truly am.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
But I view the earth as a classroom, not a courtroom, right.
I think we're here to learn and this is all
just my speculation. I'm not some you know, theological genius here,
and maybe there are people who have gone through the
all school that would have a better answer.

Speaker 6 (30:01):
But the reality is.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
You cannot grow and become a stronger, better person without challenges,
and sometimes those challenges are horrific. You know, the reason
that we fire steel is to make it stronger. And
dealing with negatives in our lives, dealing with challenges in
our lives, dealing with the roadblocks that pop up, and
dealing with horrible things that happen to us are part

(30:24):
of what make us change and grow as people. Some
people don't change and grow for the better, and I'm
not in any way shape blaming them. I would never
look at someone who's had a terrible trauma and is
now struggling for the rest of their lives and say, ooh,
you're doing it wrong. That's not what I'm here for.
I wouldn't be so bold as to presume what God

(30:44):
has outlined. But I also don't believe in an intervention.
It's God. I think God has said, at least in
the Christian tradition, you've got to make these decisions on
your own. You've got to decide to walk the right path.
You've got to decide when the situation is you can
choose doing the wrong thing and choose doing the right
thing and get the same result. You've got to choose
to do the right thing right. And unfortunately people are

(31:08):
hurt in that process. And I'm so sorry that people
are hurt in that process. And again I'm not downplaying
that at all, But for me, I think it's the
part of the process of becoming human and through our
lifetime developing and growing and changing learning things. It's why

(31:28):
people at the end of their lives have a different
set of priorities than people at the beginning of their adulthood.
When you look at people at the beginning of the adulthood,
what do they want to do? They want to have
a great career, they want to make a lot of money,
And there's recent polling data the shows that's gotten even
more focused on career and making money and being financially successful.
But then there are people who want to get married,
they want to have kids, and they want to do

(31:49):
all of these things at the end of their lives.
So many people say gosh, I wish I hadn't spend
so much time at the office. Gosh, I wish I'd
spent more time with my family. Because you're I alities change,
you grow, you develop, you start to realize what's more important,
and unfortunately, bad things are going to happen. If they
didn't happen, we would never have those opportunities for growth.

(32:10):
And I realized that this is probably incredibly unsatisfying text,
because if you're looking for a solid, reasonable answer of
why this happened to your sister, there just isn't one.
But it's not her fault, It's not God's fault. It's
the person who attacked HER's fault. And it was their
failing to choose the right way that put her in

(32:33):
that horrible, awful situation. And I'm terribly sorry that not
only it happened, that it has shaking your belief in God,
because in all honesty, when bad things happen for me,
God is who I rely on.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
accident and injury lawyers.

Speaker 5 (32:50):
No, it's Mandy.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Connell, Manllem God Way you want to study and the
nice through Frenke.

Speaker 4 (33:09):
Sad babe, Welcome, uncle, Welcome to the second hour of
the show.

Speaker 6 (33:13):
I'm your host, Mandy Connell.

Speaker 4 (33:15):
That guy over there, he's Anthony Rodriguez, we called him in.
I won't take you right up until three o'clock, where
the KOA Sports guys have a massive show planned for you.
Starting at three o'clock, they're gonna talk to Garrett Bowles
Denver Broncos. You know what I was thinking about a
rod the other day. What remember the first year Garrett
Bulls played and every second he was getting a holding

(33:36):
call or some kind of penalty, and what a disaster,
and everybody's like, this guy sucks. Yeah, I thought about
I thought about that after Bo's first game this season,
when you got this guy sucks crowd on social media,
I was like, and then look at where Garrett Bulls
is now an incredibly important part of the Broncos. So
just let people develop.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
Yes, I mean, you know, Bose the quarterback and had
a good year last year. People go like, wait, what's
going on? Yeah, why are we regressing a little?

Speaker 4 (34:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (34:04):
Give them a hot minute, Hot minute, people, hot minute.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
Okay, Garrett Bowles is going to join the team at
three o'clock and then at three fifteen, they're going to
talk to Broncos President Demani Leitch. At three point thirty
they're going to talk to Mayor Mike Johnston. And then
a little bit later in the show, they've got Broncos
great Rod Smith on and everybody's going to be talking
about the new studium at Burnham Yards. If you have
not heard that story, we talked about it extensively with
Ben Albright at the beginning of the show if you

(34:28):
want to grab that on the podcast a little bit later.
But it's a big story, and my favorite part of
the story is that the Broncos ownership is paying for it.

Speaker 6 (34:37):
We are not being.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
Asked to give ourselves a tax increase, because I would
have hated to sit here on this radio station and
tell you to vote no. But if you look at
the history of the promises that have been made about
stadium taxes and economic development and the amount of money
that it's going to bring into the they are never
remotely accurate. Now, if you want to say to the people, hey,

(35:01):
we want you to pay for the stadium and then
we want you to pay to come to games and everything,
then do it be honest about it. But what they
usually do is wrap it in this beautiful package of
look at all the economic development that's gonna happen when
you give us money. We don't have to have that
argument because the ownership is picking up the test well.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
And if you've been paying attention the last couple of
years since the Walton Penner ownership group took over, this
is no surprise.

Speaker 5 (35:23):
They've done everything the right way.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
They put so much money into the team, and the
stadium and the field, beautiful everything.

Speaker 5 (35:31):
I mean, we're very lucky. Can we just all mandy?

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Yeah, they have such nice new chairs in the press box, the.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
Box chairs every single Wait, we have to be real here.
Let's give people at a little peek behind the curtain. Okay,
there are stadiums in this country, whether baseball or football,
that literally treat the press like kings.

Speaker 6 (35:53):
Yeah, but there are stadiums in.

Speaker 4 (35:55):
This country, football, baseball, whatever, that if you show up
with your press badge, they're like, go stand over there, peasant,
and you get like a raggedy folding chair with a
torn cushion on the bottom. This is not that.

Speaker 5 (36:06):
Yeah, many, let me tell you I'm really spoiled.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
This is my second year in a row where I
sit next to legend Steve Atwater during the entire during
the entire game, and the joy on our faces. In
week one when I go Steve, we got new chairs
because last year we were both like we were sinking
in the chairs and trying to like like all haggle
and fight over the best chairs in the box. And
they gave us these brand new chairs, and Steve Atwater

(36:29):
stay at Water and I were so happy. You little
things that make little things and then the big things like, oh,
I don't know, brand new stadiums.

Speaker 4 (36:37):
Yeah, so this is exciting news and the guys that
three are going to go into it.

Speaker 6 (36:40):
I just want to take a very quick minute.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
And wish my friend Heidiganaal a happy birthday. If you
want to wish her a happy birthday, go to the
Rockymountain Voice dot com Rocky Mountain Voice dot com and
sign up for the Mountain Minute. That would be a
happy birthday gift for her. Just throwing that out there now.
I got a lot of stuff on the blog that
I want to get to and did not go. Yeah

(37:03):
to the text who asked about email Email me Mandy
Connell at iHeartMedia dot com. Mandy Connell at iHeartMedia dot com.
If you want to go ahead and take care of that,
go ahead and send. Okay, here we go. I got
a lot of stuff.

Speaker 6 (37:18):
Now, if you.

Speaker 4 (37:18):
Were looking for a reason to give your I don't
know whoever comes at you about your weight. Maybe it's
your mom, maybe it's your you know, your dad, maybe
whoever's coming at you, meet your wife. Whatever. Now I'm
gonna give you another excuse. And this this kind of
made me laugh today because we've talked about it on
the show before. Like when you look at the map
of obesity in the United States, it is concentrated in

(37:43):
the southeast of the United States. And I will tell
people all day long that is the function of two things.
Number One, it is so hot in that part of
the country for like eight or nine months out of
the year.

Speaker 6 (37:58):
It is just miserable.

Speaker 4 (38:00):
When you you know, like factor in the humidity and
everything is just so incredibly miserable. Nobody wants to exercise.
And then you couple it with the fact that the
food is freaking delicious.

Speaker 6 (38:10):
They fry everything.

Speaker 4 (38:11):
And it's so good.

Speaker 6 (38:13):
Oh my gosh, it's so good.

Speaker 4 (38:15):
I love Southern food. But I have to move I
had to move away around it than as big as
a house. We'll listen to this from CNN. Ice creams,
frozen desserts, and super chilled sodas take on new appeal
in sticky summer heat. As climate change drives hotter temperatures,
Americans are consuming more and more of them, new research finds,

(38:37):
with worrying health consequences. There's plenty of evidence climate change
will shape food availability and quality, leading to shortages, price increases,
and even affecting nutritional value, said pan He, a study
author and lecturer in environmental science and sustainability at Cardiff University,
but far less is known about its effects on what

(38:59):
we choose to eat or drink. Listen to this, I know. Wait,
get ready to put your shocked face on. Okay, Like, everybody,
go ahead and adopt the shocked face before I tell
you what I'm about to tell you. Okay, everybody got it.
Shocked face is on. Okay. As temperatures ticked up, people
consume more sugar, mostly in the form of sugar sweetened

(39:21):
drinks such as soda and juice. And you know what,
they ate more of ice cream. I know, thank god
they did a study on the fact that we eat
more ice cream in the summer than we do in
the winter. Now, this is not about health. This is
what made me laugh about this study. If you look
at the polling data on global warming, when they ask

(39:43):
people like, what are your top twenty things that you
are worried about? In the United States of America right now,
global warming is always at the bottom. And they have
been haranguing us and harassing us for decades now with
the we're all gonna die. I mean, we're just we
just don't care, right, we don't care. And so in

(40:07):
order in order to get us to care again, this
climate scientist is now like, Okay, what do people dread?
What do they not want to I know, they don't
want to be fat. What don't we tell them the
climate change is actually going to make them fat? Why
do we do that? Yeah, that'll do it. So this
isn't about health. This is about shoving more of us

(40:31):
into the nonsense that is, we have to worry about
dying because God forbid, we actually just adapt to climate change.
This textter Mandy, Yes, that average one percent has really
driven my choices in snacks.

Speaker 6 (40:47):
And you know what's funny When it's.

Speaker 4 (40:48):
Hot outside and I get hot and I'm hot, you know,
I just drink water.

Speaker 6 (40:55):
I mean, I know it's crazy.

Speaker 4 (41:00):
Fatty Fatty two by four can't get through the bathroom door,
and now we know it's climate change. That, by the way,
was from a texture. They did not they just wrote
it out. But I think everybody knows. When you see
fatty fatty two by four can't get through the bathroom door,
you have to sing it, right, I mean you have to.

Speaker 6 (41:14):
Did you not ever hear that when you were a kid?

Speaker 4 (41:15):
No difference between gen X and all of the generations after.
Have you seen the one that it's like, hey, I mean,
do I look like I've gained weight? And the boomers
are like, no, you look you know you could lose
a few pounds. And then the millennials are like, no,
you look perfect, just like you are, and the gen
Z's like, don'te fat shame and Gen X is like,

(41:36):
I got four friends and you're three of them, right,
I mean, that's like it's just stone cold. It's hard.
It's hard out there being a gangstone when you're gen X,
don't we don't pull punches. Fatty Fatty two bath foor
can't get through the bathroom door. I don't know why
your your generation didn't have those awful taunts at each other.

Speaker 6 (41:55):
Did you never call anyone.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
Four the kiss? I g K isn't in a tree thing?

Speaker 5 (41:59):
Yep?

Speaker 4 (42:00):
So what about four eyes? Did you ever four eyes?
Four eyes?

Speaker 1 (42:03):
No?

Speaker 5 (42:03):
So what you're saying is you guys are just mean.

Speaker 4 (42:05):
Yeah, but we were tough because of it.

Speaker 6 (42:07):
Yeah, I'm just saying, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:11):
I was called four eyes because I mean, I have
glasses now, but when I was a kid, before they
had the fancy carbon.

Speaker 6 (42:16):
Lenses that you can make.

Speaker 4 (42:17):
Then, I legit had coke bottle glasses when I was
a kid. So you better believe I got the four
eyes over and over and over again.

Speaker 5 (42:26):
Yeah, it's cool glasses these days.

Speaker 9 (42:27):
I know.

Speaker 4 (42:28):
Well, nerds are cool now. Nerds are cool now. They
were not cool when I was a nerd, an actual nerd.
Sam climate change climate scientists, Well, you're rivaling Ross on
wasting our time. Oh contrary, my friend, I have just
begun to waste your time. Here comes a bride, big
fat and wide. This person had a lot of these,
hurled a town Mandy. That report caused a painful eye roll.

(42:51):
You know what, that's climate change When you get pained
from your eye roll climate change for a really long time.
On my show when I first got my show in
two thousand and five, I made sure to blame George
Bush for everything, so like we'd e a hurricane. Well,
damn George Bush, look what he did. I kind of
feel like, now climate change is going to be that thing,
like when I get caught in traffic, Damn this climate change.

(43:12):
Holy mackerel. I had to drive early this morning, a rod,
what time do you drive into work?

Speaker 1 (43:17):
Like?

Speaker 4 (43:17):
What time are you on the roads.

Speaker 5 (43:20):
For this show? At the very latest? Like very latest,
like eleven?

Speaker 4 (43:25):
Okay, See, I am never on the roads like during
rush hour. And I had to go from my house
in Douglas County to the Children's hospital in Aurora. Holy crap.

Speaker 6 (43:35):
How do you people do that every day?

Speaker 5 (43:37):
That's I was almost late. That's nothing. An hour, Yeah,
it's nothing. I left an hour, ye, nothing.

Speaker 4 (43:43):
Before the appointment. And I thought, man, I bless all
y'all who.

Speaker 5 (43:47):
Were out there are for almost three hours a day.

Speaker 6 (43:49):
You let me know, No, I'm not doing that.

Speaker 4 (43:52):
As a matter of fact, when we moved here, I
put a pin in iHeartMedia and we drove thirty minutes
around it with.

Speaker 6 (43:58):
A marker, and I was like, we will live in that.

Speaker 5 (44:00):
That's adorable. That's what I tried to do.

Speaker 9 (44:01):
I know.

Speaker 5 (44:02):
Yeah that didn't work.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
That lasted like seventeen seconds, and then we're like, okay,
North we go because it's not gonna be south because
the wife works in boulders.

Speaker 5 (44:10):
So North we go.

Speaker 4 (44:12):
Yeah, yea, yeah. I don't think Ross's Bullwinkle with dirty legs.
I don't know where the bullwinkle came from. Does that
make me rocky?

Speaker 1 (44:21):
Like?

Speaker 5 (44:21):
What how is he bullwinkle?

Speaker 6 (44:25):
Like I don't get that vibe at all.

Speaker 5 (44:27):
Questions we need to follow up?

Speaker 4 (44:29):
Yeah, I need text her, come on. I was called
fatty four eyes and short blank. It was brutal, damn
basketball buns, thunder thighs, bumcakes.

Speaker 3 (44:40):
I will know.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
Have you heard the complimentary one for guys like Saquon
Barkley that have massive quads?

Speaker 4 (44:47):
Oh that's nice quad zilla? Yeah yeah, I love that one.

Speaker 5 (44:53):
Yeah it's a good one.

Speaker 6 (44:57):
Uh well, somebody's having a terrible time with voice to text.

Speaker 5 (45:01):
Ours weren't a screative like we would call bigger people
like tubs.

Speaker 6 (45:06):
I was just called the Amazon like I was called
the Amazon.

Speaker 4 (45:09):
I was called a giraffe. What else was I called?

Speaker 6 (45:11):
I'm trying to think of what other my nicknames.

Speaker 4 (45:13):
I was the Amazon cheerleader because I was just so
much taller than everybody else.

Speaker 5 (45:18):
You just said, I'm wonder woman.

Speaker 4 (45:19):
No, I was on the middle of the bottom of
every pyramid, like I had people standing all over me
in every pyramid. You're never at the top of the
pierid No, oh god, no, are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 (45:28):
No?

Speaker 5 (45:28):
Did you want to be at the top of No?

Speaker 4 (45:30):
I did not, But I didn't want to be at
the bottom of the middle of every single literally and metaphorically, yes, exactly. Well,
that was the only place I fit. If I was
on either side of the pyramid, it was lopsided. There's
one option. Put the tall chick in the middle there
I was anyway, I don't even what what did we
start talking about? And how do we get here?

Speaker 3 (45:51):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (45:51):
Climate change making is fat?

Speaker 9 (45:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (45:53):
The good news is is that people who truly don't
want to take care of their health, who don't want
to try and stay in shape, who don't want to
eat right and make sure they maintain you know, good,
good numbers, good blood pressure, good Now they have another
excuse when someone's like when their doctor says, you know,
you got to clean up your diet and maybe you know,

(46:14):
try and get a little walk in every day, and
you're like, you know what, I can't control the climate, now,
can I? So I'll just sit over here and eat
whatever I want to eat because it's just climate change.
Can't control it. Mandy, you've said you lived in Kentucky.
What was the weather like? Would Tennessee be the same?
Kentucky has really good weather, very humid though. I mean,

(46:35):
here's the thing. If you hate humidity, you cannot live
east of the Mississippi. You just can't. It's too humid.
If you hate humidity, do not go to Japan in
the summer. Good gravy, don't do it. But Kentucky has
really nice weather. They have beautiful spring, like some of
the most beautiful spring weather you will ever experience. But
then they also have the random tornado, the random ice

(46:58):
storm that you kind of have to ward.

Speaker 6 (46:59):
The ice are the worst. They will take out all
of the.

Speaker 4 (47:02):
Power lines and it is just not good, not good.
But Tennessee probably similar, but they're more they're a little
They have the smoky mountains in Tennessee. So it really
depends on where you go. But my friends Terry and
Cathy moved to Tennessee and they love it, so there
you go. Ralph says, I was six' two in high

(47:22):
school and a buck twenty five one hundred and twenty five.
Pounds never accused me in. FAT i had to gain
weight to qualify for THE Us Air force. Scholarship people
are oft in fat now because of poor information and
ignorance of how to. EAT i have a friend who
cannot gain, weight and doesn't that sound? Glorious doesn't that
sound like that would be the best. Thing, ever it's
not people that are incredibly incredibly lean that cannot gain.

(47:46):
Weight they're as miserable as heavy people who struggle to lose. Weight, So,
mandy how about the fat mama? Jokes your mama is
so fat and she sits around the, house she sits
around the. House you didn't do the your mama, jokes
none of?

Speaker 5 (48:00):
Them yeah we. Did it was just. Terrible. Whatever that was, Awful.

Speaker 4 (48:04):
Mandy how tall are? You i am five, ten BUT
i have been five to ten since the ninth. Grade,
okay so no boys were as tall AS i was
for like two, years not a single. One AND i
was just way taller than everybody. Else, mandy my sister
was very. Tall we called her the jolly Green. GIANT
i got that as, well especially, green jolly Green, Giant Green.

(48:27):
Giant nope from the vegetable. Company, nope what? Nothing how
do you not know the Green? GIANT i heard.

Speaker 6 (48:34):
It it's still a marketing, thing isn't.

Speaker 4 (48:36):
It i'm just, saying hang it.

Speaker 6 (48:39):
Up you think driving on snow is, tough try driving
on ice.

Speaker 4 (48:44):
EXACTLY i would not leave the house in an ice.
STORM i would just be, like, Sorry I'm i'm going
to be somewhere. Else i'm going to be, elsewhere just.
Elsewhere So i'm moving on from climate change making attack
Because i've all these other. STUFF i want to Thank
Weld County Sheriff Steve rhems for making an announcement about

(49:07):
a dangerous gentleman that he was forced to. Release Dbiza
ephraim was charged with some extremely serious, charges including second degree. Murder,
now he has not been convicted of any of this, stuff,
right SO i want to be clear about. That but
he's been charged with some seriously violent. Crime but he

(49:27):
just walked out the door in Welld county and it's
the old. Story guess. What they declared him incompetent to stand,
trial and In colorado that.

Speaker 6 (49:38):
Means you walk out the.

Speaker 4 (49:39):
Door his charges included attempted second degree murder and. Assault
he's been seen on video multiple times having fights with,
people but when the people got knocked, out he continued
to hit them in the face with his. Fists seems
like a nice. Guy he was booked into The Weld county,
jail where he had been living since A. April Sheriff

(50:01):
freem said he was forced to release him to the
public On monday because he was deemed incompetent to stand.
Trial Sheriff freem cited twenty twenty four legislation passed by
state lawmakers that was created with the intent to provide
those deemed incompetent with mental health care rather than leaving
them incompetent or. Incarcerated rather and the outcome of that

(50:26):
is that we're just releasing dangerous people back onto the
streets in our metro. Area the, bill in part says
those who have been deemed incompetent to stand trial in
the last five years should be given mental health treatment if. Possible,
However reem, said the law also leaves a void that
allows those who do not qualify for the mental health

(50:47):
program to then be released without further. Attention this is,
insane you. GUYS i reached out To House minority Leader Rose,
paglici AND i, Said, rose please tell me someone is
working on, this but just please tell me that we
are working on some sort of legislation that will fix this,
issue that we're working on some sort of system that

(51:11):
is designed for potentially, violent mentally ill. People the guy
In North carolina is another example of.

Speaker 3 (51:18):
THIS i have this.

Speaker 4 (51:20):
Audio CAN i have my audio really, quickly a, Rod
let me scroll down to. Word this is FORMER Dc
Police Chief Robert conti in twenty twenty three at a press,
conference and.

Speaker 5 (51:32):
Guns off the.

Speaker 10 (51:33):
Street what we gotta do if we really want to
see homicides go, down is keep bad guys with guns in,
jail because when they in, jail they can't be in
community shooting. People so when people talk about what we're
going to do, different or what we should do, different
what we need to do, different that's the thing that
we need to do.

Speaker 5 (51:48):
Different we need to keep violent people in.

Speaker 10 (51:51):
Jail right, now the average homicide. Suspect the average homicide
suspect has been arrested eleven times prior to them committing a.

Speaker 5 (51:59):
Homicide that is a. Problem that is a.

Speaker 4 (52:03):
Problem, now what FORMER Dc Police Chief Robert conti might
not recognize as a black?

Speaker 9 (52:09):
Man is?

Speaker 4 (52:10):
It just by saying, this he's outed himself as a, Racist,
well at least for some people on the left who
seem to want to prioritize criminals over non. Criminals when
we get.

Speaker 6 (52:23):
Back an, UP i have an update on The i'm
calling Her Greta.

Speaker 4 (52:27):
Theaterberg from now, On Greteth, thunberg the angry little troll
From sweden who has now moved on from climate change
and moved on to The palestinian, cause is part of
a flotilla going To gaza to give supplies To. Hamas
i'll tell you about their latest little well bit of
nonsense when we get, back and oh it's, Good oh
you're gonna love. This we had a lot of stuff

(52:48):
to talk about in the, meantime none more entertaining to
me Than Greta, theaterberg the young angry activist who first
scolded the, world how day you over climate? Change but when,
that you, know kind of got. Boring she decided to
jump right onto the next, Cause. Azure so she is
all about The palestinian people one hundred.

Speaker 6 (53:10):
Percent can't be more for them if she.

Speaker 4 (53:13):
Tried she assembled a group of merry misfits and a
flotilla and they decided they were going to sail To
gaza in order to deliver a tiny fraction of humanitarian,
supplies but mostly so they could be in front of the.
Media and they got stopped once and now they're trying
a gun by, Gosh by, golly they had a big

(53:34):
press conference before they Left, spain and then they had
to come back because of. Weather it was too. Bad
but then they didn't have another press. Conference but then
they left, again and Then greta posted, something we'd been
hit by a. Drone there's a fire on the. Boat
we're all going to. Die probably just climate, Change. Greta

(53:55):
but of, course as there is more to most stories
that come out of idiocy like, this they showed the
photographs of this alleged fire on the, boat caused by
an alleged. Drone And i'm just going to say, this
if any government in the world was going to use
a drone to attack a boat of any, kind it
would not use a bomb so small as to just

(54:20):
set a few life jackets on, fire which is exactly what. Happened,
well now we know the actual. Story new footage From
greta's boat shows a crew member misfiring a flare which
lands back on the.

Speaker 6 (54:35):
Boat setting the life jackets on.

Speaker 4 (54:38):
Fire but instead they're, like we got hit by a,
drone only they're right Outside. Tunisia they're right, outside and
The tunisian government is, like, yeah, no there was no
drones in the sky, there and they actually said somebody
probably dropped a cigarette and set this on. Fire but
the reality is now we have video of them setting.

(54:59):
IT i, mean they don't care about telling the. Truth
and this is WHY i could not care any less
About Greta thunberg or he flotilla or whether they make
it To gaza or.

Speaker 6 (55:14):
NOT i don't.

Speaker 4 (55:15):
Care they're dishonest people doing dishonest things because that's the
only thing they. Have when it comes to Supporting, Hamas
hamas is full of liars and, propagandists and the news
media just slaps up Whatever hamas sends. Out, well, oh
by the, Way hamas is going to have a little
more problem sending stuff out because there's no one to approve.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
It.

Speaker 4 (55:38):
Right like you, know if you work for a company
and you're in charge of, messaging, right you're in charge
of getting the message. Out usually it works like. This
you have the message and then you craft the message
and then you run it up the flagpole to the
chain of, command and the chain of command, says, yes
that's a good, message we'd like to do, that and
then they send it back down the flagpole and then
you you go with. It, well the problem is is

(55:59):
That israel just took Out hamasa's command. Staff what's interesting about,
this in my, mind is that none of the command
staff were In.

Speaker 6 (56:09):
Gaza they were all In.

Speaker 4 (56:11):
Cutter because the leadership of a mosque does not live In.
Gaza they're not living with poor, People they're not living
in any of. That they are living in the lap of,
luxury or they, WERE i should change. This they were
living in the low lap of luxury In, cutter And,

(56:32):
israel in a very very highly, specific very carefully crafted,
attack using bombs that were far bigger than the ones
that Never floondbird's, boat absolutely destroyed the apartments where all
of these people were. Meeting now we can make a

(56:53):
pretty compelling argument That israel has overstepped its bounds by
taking out the leadership In yemen and taking out the
leadership And cutter these nations that they are not ostensibly
a war at were with rather sorry about, that but
especially With hamas, LEADERSHIP i think That cutter has enabled
them to continue this war far longer than they would

(57:15):
have been continued if they were living in the tunnels
Below gaza where they should be. Living but this takes
me to another topic THAT i want to get to.
Today by the, way on the blog, TODAY i have
a nifty tutorial video That hamas made teaching people how
to target the right people when they get on a
bus with weapons to kill.

Speaker 6 (57:34):
People funny funny that.

Speaker 4 (57:36):
They put that out because there was just an attack
at A jerusalem bus stop where six people were murdered
before the perpetrators WERE i love the Word israel uses,
neutralized which means they were taken out right. There every
single person In israel right, now if you go To,
israel AND i know many of your LIKE i would
never go To israel right, now but people are going To.

(57:57):
ISRAEL i would venture a, guest as especially every man
and probably most young women are carrying a firearm right
now wherever they. Are so if you're planning on doing,
evil you are going to be neutralized if you do.
It BUT i want to take this conversation into something
else THAT i have on the blog, today.

Speaker 6 (58:16):
And that is what has happened To Tucker.

Speaker 4 (58:19):
Carlson Tucker carlson has now really entered into territory That
i'm questioning who's signing his. Checks listen to this, conversation
this casual conversation where he Mentions. Hamas, oh A, rod
CAN i have my audio? PLEASE i, mean just listen

(58:42):
to this. Exchange, oh come, on.

Speaker 11 (58:44):
And can plausibly claim that A christian family are In? Hamas,
okay so, like what tell me you can't claim that
they're In jumas will simultaneously claiming That hamas is you,
know groupergie, hotties Their islamic, extremists which they also claim,
constantly WHICH i don't know if that's, true by the,
way it seems more like a political, organization but whatever it,

(59:04):
is they're telling us, constantly And.

Speaker 4 (59:06):
I'm just gonna stop it. There that's almost, like now
just take this to a different time and, place and
you have a group of people who have demonstrated beyond
any plausible deniability what they're capable, of and that is
they are capable of going and slaughtering, civilians murdering women

(59:31):
after they violently rate, them cutting off their, breasts killing,
babies putting at least one baby in an. Oven we
know that for a, fact chopping off the heads of
people who lived on a Combiss and we don't have
to guess about this because from us live streamed at.
All they live streamed it on The facebook pages of their.
Victims they slaughtered young people who had the nerve to

(59:54):
be in the middle of a field for a music.
Festival this is Who Tucker carlson just casually said. YOU
i don't really. Don't it seems like more like a
political organization to. Me when was the last time The
Democratic party slaughtered people indiscriminately and streamed it on the,
internet or The Republican party flaughtering people indiscriminately and sharing

(01:00:16):
it on the internet so everyone could enjoy. It what
happened To? TUCKER i used to like him when he
was On Fox, news And i'm not gonna pretend THAT
i watch his show BECAUSE i. DON'T i don't watch
anybody's shows. ANYMORE i just don't want to hear what
anybody else has to. SAY i JUST i don't. CARE
i don't care what they have to. SAY i really.
Don't i'm gonna make my own, decisions, Right but how

(01:00:37):
do we go From Tucker carlson getting fired On fox
To Tucker carlson providing cover for a terrorist? Organization, now
you cannot Like. Israel you cannot like what The israelis are.
Doing that is a valid AS i said at the
beginning of this, conversation like if you want to make
the point That israel has overstepped its bounds and violated international,
norms As cutter, said by killing the leadership Of hamas In,

(01:01:00):
Cutter But i'm gonna be Perfectly FRANK i, said they
needed to do this like a year and a half,
ago because as long as there are people living in
the lap of luxury with billions of dollars in aid
that they've siphoned off for, themselves as long as those
people are calling the, shot there will never be any

(01:01:22):
peace With hamas In. Israel the hostages will never be.
Released so taking those people, out that's. Warfare it's just.
Warfare on another. Turf you can Criticize israel for that
legitimately one hundred. PERCENT i get. IT i see where
you're coming.

Speaker 6 (01:01:38):
FROM i, disagree BUT i see where you're coming.

Speaker 4 (01:01:41):
From but to go so far as to downgrade the
organization that did all of those horrific things and chose
to live stream them on the, internet see to. Me
you can have a regime that is capable of horrible,
things but What hamas did went beyond. That at least

(01:02:01):
The nazis had the decency to try and hide what
they were. Doing, Right hamas is amplifying. It And tucker
carl does anybody? Know text me five six six nine
out what happened To Tucker, Carlson. MANDY i Think tucker
is more honest NOW i enjoy his work. More, now
Both jews And palestinians are to, blame but The palestinians

(01:02:24):
are being. Holocausted, now let me just unpack. This the
only reason That israel is at war With hamas is
because of What hamas did On october. Seventh that is
the only. Reason before that Day palestinians were allowed to
come Into israel and. Work many of the people that

(01:02:44):
participated in the massacre Of october, seventh actually worked at
the kibbutz's that they then attacked and provided information For
hamas to attack The. Jews let's be clear about that
this is not The jews And palestinians both are at
fault here right now only because Of hamas's. Actions so
let's put a pin in. That and the notion that

(01:03:07):
The palestinian people are suffering genocide is just. Stupid and here's.
Why before the war, started there were one point seven
Million palestinians in The Gaza. Strip it's a very small.
AREA i, mean it's really really. Small and since this
entire situation got, Started israel has gone out of its

(01:03:29):
way to not kill, civilians But hamas keeps putting bombs
next to children and under, hospitals and their headquarters are under,
hospitals and in fighting, Them israel has had to take
out a lot of civilian properties and civilians have been,
killed which Is hamasa's plan all, along because then they
use people Like Tucker carlston to spread the narrative of

(01:03:51):
you know, what it's not just The jews or a,
fault but The palestinians, too but not as much because
they're good as they're not as good as gag killing
As israel. Is the reality is is that the only
Reason israel is killing anyone is because of What hamas.

Speaker 6 (01:04:07):
Did and the fact of the matter.

Speaker 4 (01:04:09):
Is is that even if the numbers are as high
as The Hamas Health organization is giving, out which could
be sixty five thousand people, killed and by the, way
they don't separate Out hamas fighters from that, number so
we don't even know how many enemy. COMBATANTS i would
guess probably at least half are enemy combatants straight. Out

(01:04:31):
but if there are one point seven million people In,
gaza a very small, area it would be incredibly easy
If israel was really about wiping out The palestinian, people
to just drop a bunch of bombs all over. Them
because it's not a big. Area you could have wiped
out the entire population in two, months very very. Easily

(01:04:52):
but the fact that the numbers of that, population which
could be thirty, thousand could be, forty could be twenty,
thousand of Non moss combatants that have been, killed that
number should be extraordinarily, higher and it's. Not that's the.
Difference do you really think If hitler had the opportunity
to have all The jews in one.

Speaker 6 (01:05:13):
Country do you think he would have.

Speaker 4 (01:05:15):
Stopped he would have just dropped the bombs all over
the country and killed. Everybody that's what The holocaust was all.
About The holocaust was about rounding up as Many, Jews
gypsies or gay people as they could possibly find and
running them into ovens and gas. Chambers, Right that's what
The holocaust. Was so please don't beclown yourself text her

(01:05:36):
by comparing what's going on In israel and The gaza
strip to what happened in The, holocaust because if you believe,
that you have no understanding of history, whatsoever AND i
would strongly recommend you visit The Holocaust museum In, washington D.

Speaker 6 (01:05:49):
C to truly understand what that.

Speaker 4 (01:05:52):
Was so you stop making a fool of yourself by
trying to compare what's happening right now In israel with
what happened, then because it is. Real is demonstrated they
can be extremely. Lethal they just demonstrated it to the
leadership of a moss and, Cutter so they do you
think that they would have much trouble in taking out
the civilian population of the Entire palestinian people if that

(01:06:14):
was their? Goal you think they're just good at, killing
but only these small. Amounts they're not good at killing
the other one point five, million one point six million
people that are still lyfting the cause OF. Strip they're
not good at killing. Them it's just it's such a, nonsensical,
idiotic stupid.

Speaker 6 (01:06:33):
Thing to believe and to.

Speaker 4 (01:06:35):
Say. So, SORRY i had to take you out on.
That sorry about, That mandy. AM i dislike of All
islamic terrorist organizations goes back with the blowing up of
THE us embassy In, lebanon then a year later THE
Us marines barracks In, lebanon as well the murder OF
Us army colonel attached to THE un. Duty they kidnapped

(01:06:55):
him then murdered. Him SO i have no sympathy For
islamic terrorists or their. SUPPORTERS i saw a body listed
from the two explosions and lost two friends in the
embassy exposure. EXPLOSION i think there was some voice to
text issues. There Mandy tucker's Rejoined Regretta. Dumberg ha, ha that's.

It And i'm okay with.

Speaker 4 (01:09:52):
That just don't put me on the hook for a
multi billion dollars stadium as a. Taxpayer So i'm happy about.
That so all of that's come up in the three o'clock.
Hour in the, meantime, though we got to talk about
some really bad. News THE Nape test is a test
that is given to eighth and twelfth graders every, year

(01:10:13):
and it's not given to every, student but it's given
to a large cross section of students and it has
seen and it's called The National assessment Of Educational. Progress
the numbers on THIS snape, test WHICH i think THE
Nape test is probably the best judge of how we
in The United states Of america are doing educating our.

(01:10:35):
Children because every state has different standards and testing standards
and all of that. Stuff so THE nape test truly
is an apples to apples comparison of students across the.
Country they're all taking the same, test typical standardized. Test
and here's what the results have. Said this from The
Wall Street. Journal american high school seniors scores on major

(01:10:57):
math and reading tests fell to their lowest life levels on.
Record twelfth grader's average mascore was the worst since the
current test began in two thousand and. Five the reading
was below any point since that assessment started in nineteen ninety.
Two the share of twelfth graders who were proficient slid

(01:11:19):
by two percentage points between twenty nineteen and twenty twenty,
four to thirty five percent in reading and twenty two
percent in. Math holy.

Speaker 6 (01:11:31):
Macaroni, now just before you even.

Speaker 4 (01:11:36):
Go, ninny it was a.

Speaker 6 (01:11:37):
Pandemic, no it was.

Speaker 5 (01:11:38):
Not it was.

Speaker 4 (01:11:41):
Not the declines deepened slides that began before the pandemic
and are the latest in a procession of gloomy data
showing THAT us students are learning less than several years.
Ago the learning loss has been broad and, substantial showing
up on international exams and tests of children just entering.
School few if any student groups or regions of the

(01:12:02):
country have been entirely. Spared Leslie, muldo an executive director
of the board that oversees the, test said students are
taking their next sticks steps in life with fewer skills
and less knowledge in core academics than their predecessors a decade.

Speaker 6 (01:12:19):
Ago this is happening at a.

Speaker 4 (01:12:21):
Time when rapid advancements in technology and society demand more
of future workers and, citizens not. Less so these numbers
are really really, bad incredibly incredibly. Bad the twelfth grade
scores come with an important. Asterisk they say it's possible

(01:12:43):
that progress is being obscured by rising high school graduation,
rates which could mean that more lower performing students are
taking the. Exams it's also unclear whether there's been any
recovery in the time since these tests were administered administered
more than a year and a half. Ago, now let
me just say this about increased graduation. Rates, okay increased graduation,

(01:13:06):
rates in my, view are solely because high schools have
inflated grades and high schools who are not teaching kids
how to read and do. Math And i'm Used denver
public schools as an. Example do you know What Superintendent
Alex marrero loves to talk about the increased graduation rate

(01:13:28):
In denver public. Schools he doesn't want to talk about
test scores the show that a vast majority of kids
can't read on grade level or do math on grade.

Speaker 6 (01:13:35):
Level he wants to talk.

Speaker 4 (01:13:36):
About graduation rates because you can't fake what kids actually.

Speaker 6 (01:13:40):
Learn but you can move them along when they. Don't
AM i?

Speaker 4 (01:13:45):
RIGHT i mean it is easy to pass along a
kid from one grade to the. Next and you can
talk to any teacher at the high school level and
they will tell you there are kids being passed along
that cannot perform at even a rudimentary. Life and you
know why they're being passed along because they're pains in the.
Ass they're usually the kids who are ill. Behaved they're

(01:14:07):
the ones that are not paying. Attention they're not because
they're so far behind that they. Can't they feel the.
Kids and by the, Way i'm not just making this.
Up this is actually from data and studies about why
kids graduate or don't graduate from high. SCHOOL a vast
majority of kids who drop out of high school do
so because they feel like they are so far behind
they cannot possibly get caught. Up they become discipline issues

(01:14:31):
in the, classroom they become, troublemakers and one student can
absolutely ruin the learning for an entire year with bad.

Speaker 6 (01:14:40):
Behavior so what are we? Doing what are we doing?

Speaker 4 (01:14:44):
HERE i honestly believe that a big part of this
is from phones in the classroom and from phones in kids'.
Lives kids are spending all of their time staring at
their phones instead of learning what they need to. Do
and now WITH, ai you have kids that are just

(01:15:07):
USING ai to do their papers and do their studies
and they're not learning. Anything this should be something that
should be on the front page of every. Newspaper this
should be the topic of conversation no matter where we,
go no matter who we're talking, to because guess who's
gonna be.

Speaker 6 (01:15:23):
Running the nursing.

Speaker 4 (01:15:24):
Homes, guys do you really want kids that can't even
read at a basic level in charge of your care
when you're?

Speaker 2 (01:15:31):
OLD i.

Speaker 6 (01:15:31):
DON'T i don't know how to fix, it but we
got to do.

Speaker 5 (01:15:33):
Something.

Speaker 4 (01:15:34):
MANDY i teach and am the gifted coordinator at an
early college high.

Speaker 5 (01:15:38):
School in the tech.

Speaker 4 (01:15:39):
Center there will still be, brilliant hard working kids out,
there and these will be the ones in charge of the.
Future but who's going to work at my nursing. HOME
i know it seems, selfish BUT i think about things like. That,
right here's my fear for this generation of phone. Addicts
and this is kind of WHY i think this generation

(01:15:59):
is is tempted by the promise of, socialism which we
all know is a, lie, RIGHT i, mean it's just
an absolute lie that socialism is any kind of ism
that leads to human. Flourishing it's been demonstrated over and
over and over again that it's the opposite has. Happened
but you have a bunch of kids who have access
to everything in their. Hand and please don't take this

(01:16:22):
as A the kids are. Wrong they grew up in
an environment and a culture that people my age cannot
even relate to in the. Slightest the world that my
daughter in habits right now is so different than the
world THAT i grew up. In and it's just because
it's a generational. Difference and now they have this thing
in their, hand this, phone AND i think for many of,

(01:16:43):
them they believe that there's nothing left to be. Invented,
Right there's nothing. Left this is. It we have all the,
knowledge we have everything and it's right in my phone
AND i don't have to do. Anything so if you
are living under the impression that we have reached kind
of at the end of the, internet, right we joke, like,
OH i was scrolling AND i reached the end of The.
Internet but if you don't believe there's anything, else because

(01:17:05):
you're constantly being fed information of other people.

Speaker 6 (01:17:09):
Doing other, things.

Speaker 4 (01:17:12):
This is where boredom must make a, comeback because boredom
when you're sitting, there when you're. Thinking you, KNOW i
talked about the FACT i drive in my car in.
SILENCE i don't have the radio. ON i KNOW i
shouldn't tell you because you're all listening on the radio right,
now BUT i drive home in, silence mostly Because i've
just spent three hours listening to my own voice in
my ear. Holes, RIGHT i just won't. Quiet but that

(01:17:33):
is WHERE i get some of my best. Ideas that
is WHERE i get some of my best. Revelations that's
WHERE i really mull over issues BEFORE i.

Speaker 9 (01:17:41):
Come on the.

Speaker 4 (01:17:41):
SHOW i know you guys probably don't think THAT i
think about, stuff BUT i really, do AND i do
some of my best thinking in. Quiet and these kids
never have. Quiet they have music, on they have videos on.
Them they're constantly being. Bombarded so when the reality of,
WOW i kind of have to take care of myself comes,
in socialism starts to sound really good because there's nothing

(01:18:01):
left to, invent there's nothing left to. DO i heard
a young man many years, ago this was probably fifteen years,
ago and he was lamenting the fact that there was.

Speaker 6 (01:18:11):
Nothing left to.

Speaker 4 (01:18:12):
Explore and he was kind of, like you, know back
in olden, TIMES i could have gotten on a ship
AND i could have gone. Exploring AND i looked at,
HIM i, said have you not heard of space or the?
Ocean have you not heard of these? Things but we've
created a generation of kids that literally have too, much
too much stimulation all the, time and in doing, that

(01:18:35):
we have prevented them from having the kind of stimulation
that stimulates great. Ideas and this isn't every, kid by
every stretch of the. IMAGINATION i saw a study ABOUT
ai and the way that, kids you, know in, school
they USE ai to write a.

Speaker 6 (01:18:50):
Report they'll go and SAY i need a report on.

Speaker 4 (01:18:52):
This they will then write the report, themselves but after
they hand it in ten minutes, later they can't take
a quiz on their own report and pass. It and
this is where teachers have to be really. Creative teachers
are going to have to, say, okay let's turn in
our papers and now sit down and write a synopsis

(01:19:13):
of what.

Speaker 6 (01:19:13):
Your paper is about.

Speaker 4 (01:19:16):
And force the. ISSUE i feel so sorry for teachers
in all the battles they have to. Fight right, now
the parents we have a responsibility. To it's time to
say no more phones in, schools and we the, parents
have to be okay with it because we're the. Problem
we are the people that are preventing that from. Happening
i'm just saying throwing that out. There when we get.

(01:19:36):
Back oh, GOSH i got so much stuff on the
blog today that we haven't gotten to. Yet, ooh we're
going to talk about a million jobs of operating and
a new Girl Scout cookie not getting great, reviews but
not for any real. Reason i'll explain it all in
the next. Segment we're getting a new. Stadium that's. Exciting
we're not being asked to pay for, it that's even more.

(01:19:56):
Exciting in the, meantime, THOUGH i did forget SOMETHING i
CAN i told the story earlier about school's kids not
being able to read and write and this. Texture thank,
god this texture reached Out. Mandy the nate results may
not be due to the, Pandemic but what about climate?
CHANGE i forgot supposed to blame everything on climate? Change,

(01:20:16):
now dang, it this texture followed. Up, yeah and even
elementary schools not allowed to hold kids back when they.
Fail it's not their fault global warming, exactly. Exactly, now
if you read the blog today at mandy'sblog dot, com
and if you.

Speaker 5 (01:20:30):
Didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:20:32):
I'm giving you the look right. Now, okay a rod
will verify Ay. Rod, Look i'm giving them a. Book,
yeah they don't want. That but if you did read the,
blog you'll see my top. Story did The Denver gazette
kill its own? Editorial this has perplexed me Since. Friday
Last friday, MORNING i go AS i. DO i started
The Denver, gazette first THING i look at every single. Day,

(01:20:54):
now The Denver gazette is in the process of updating their.
PLATFORM i know this AS i reached out to the.
Editor more on that in a. Moment and the site
is kind of a mess right. Now some stories are,
there some stories or not. Whatever so On friday morning
at six, AM i go to The Denver. GAZETTE i
see this editorial and it's really really, good BUT i

(01:21:15):
could see where it would be controversial to say the
things that they. Say and the point that they were
making is do democrats even? Care do black lives really
matter to democratic? Cities and they have some statistics in
here like this. One despite a forty five point nine
percent black, population nearly All washington murder victims are. Black

(01:21:36):
trump's plans to extend federal assistance to cities such As,
Chicago New, york And New orleans would prioritize black. Lives
and then they go on to talk, about you, Know
Governor pritzker saying, no he doesn't want, it even though
In chicago disproportionately black people are murdered more than white.

Speaker 6 (01:21:52):
People and they have some.

Speaker 4 (01:21:53):
Statistics and SO i added this to the blog On
friday AND i wrote about, it and then during the
SHOW i went to open it and it.

Speaker 6 (01:21:59):
Was, gone AND i was, like what is. Happening but sometimes.

Speaker 4 (01:22:02):
They'll publish stuff and they, go, oh we didn't want
to publish that, yet SO i, thought maybe they're saving
it For saturday Or. SUNDAY i look On saturday And
sunday they do not have the. Editorial so TODAY i
sent an email to the editor of The Denver gazette
and the editor of the editorial, page AND i, said,
hey two. Things number, one what's going on with the.
Site it's kind of a mess right. Now and number,

(01:22:25):
two what happened to that? Editorial BECAUSE i thought it
was really? Good are you going to publish that at
a later? Date is it a glitch in the? MATRIX
i don't know what's going. On AND i got an
email back, saying, hey we appreciate your reaching, out thanks for,
reading BECAUSE i did compliment them, too BECAUSE i do
like The. DENVERGETTE i think they do a really good.
Job and they were, like, look we're changing. Platforms some
things are, missing and BUT i didn't get clarification about

(01:22:45):
whether or not they're going to republish this editorial. Now
if there were some if maybe the data in it
is incorrect or something like, THAT i could see saying,
well we're going to pull that until we have the correct.

Speaker 6 (01:22:57):
DATA i, don't BUT i have no idea what.

Speaker 4 (01:22:58):
Happened but right, now all editorials from last week are
on the, site and editorials from this week are on the.
Site but this editorial is still not on the. Site
SO i reached out again and asked for. Clarification i'll
let you know what they say when, they you, know
email me. Back, well right, now if you are A
Denver gazette, subscriber it, is it's kind of a little

(01:23:22):
bit of a mess right. Now as they move to
a COMPLE i think they're moving to a completely different,
platform which has to be an absolute. Nightmare LIKE i
don't even want to think about. That it just seems
really really. Hard, okay let's talk about the jobs numbers really.
Quickly this is a very interesting correction the viewer of labor.
Statistics they report jobs numbers in a couple different. Ways,

(01:23:47):
okay we always get like the first, number which is the,
estimate and then we get the. Revisions so THE bls
releases benchmark revisions to align the monthly data collected via
the Current Employment Statistics.

Speaker 6 (01:24:03):
Survey this is just a. Survey businesses respond to it
or they.

Speaker 4 (01:24:06):
Don't so it's not complete, information which is why that
they schedule in the revisions and the revision could be
a revision, up the revision could be a revision. Down
they get the revision from the Quarterly census Of employment and,
wages which is actually information from unemployment insurance, programs and

(01:24:27):
it is far more, accurate far more. Accurate this creates
revisions that are significant. Sometimes and what just happened is
The bureau Of Labor statistics has done an annual revision
for the last twelve, months last twelve months that will

(01:24:48):
be revised, again by the, way In february of twenty twenty.
Six and on a raw, basis this is from an.
Article where is this article from From, barons which is
a smarty pants business. Paper this is From. Barns though
on a raw, basis the downward revision of nine hundred

(01:25:12):
and eleven thousand jobs over the last, year not the
last month the last year is worse than any figure
preliminary or final seen since at least two. Thousand on
a percentage, basis the revision was a decline of point six,
percent in line with a preliminary benchmark revision seen in
two thousand and. Nine the latest data suggests nearly seventy

(01:25:35):
six thousand fewer jobs were added per month than previously
reported From april twenty twenty four Through march of twenty twenty.
Five that means between those, dates monthly job gains averaged
about seventy four, thousand compared with the previously reported average
of about one hundred and fifty thousand per.

Speaker 6 (01:25:54):
Month this is incredibly.

Speaker 4 (01:25:57):
Important we have to get this data, right and there
have been so many accusations about the politicization of The
bureau Of Labor statistics THAT i want them to get it.

Speaker 6 (01:26:09):
Right even if the numbers are not.

Speaker 4 (01:26:11):
Good now there is some speculation are they doing this
downward revision to force The fed to lower interest rates
to gin the? Economy because The fed has two, mandates
AND i think that the second, mandate the one that
we're about to talk, about is the wrong mandate for
THE fed to. Have they have two, mandates and one
of them is full, employment like make sure people have.

(01:26:33):
JOBS i don't think that should be their mandate at.
ALL i think they should just worry about interest rates
and making sure that inflation is in. Check that should
be the only job that The Federal reserve focuses. On
but when they added full, employment that creates a whole
bunch of other. Stuff but that could mean that if
the job's numbers are softer than we, thought The fed
would be goosed to lower the rates even. More than
they are expected to lower. Them now that's and that's all,

(01:26:57):
speculative or it could really be that the new leader
ship and The bureau Of Labor statistics said we've been
getting this wrong and we need to fix.

Speaker 5 (01:27:04):
IT i don't.

Speaker 4 (01:27:05):
Know it, honestly could be either of those things or
something in the, middle. Right it could be it could
be something nefarious that Helps. Trump it could be something
nefarious that doesn't Help.

Speaker 6 (01:27:16):
TRUMP i don't.

Speaker 4 (01:27:17):
Know but if these numbers are, accurate then we obviously
have not had the sort of economy that we've been
told we've. Had, now what's, interesting AND i want to
ask you guys. This we got about five minutes Before
Nick ferguson comes in and joins. Us i'm reading a
lot of stuff about people being uncertain about the job,
market about you, know things that are really tightening. Up

(01:27:39):
AND i know, that especially in, tech there's been a
lot of layoffs in. Tech BUT i am inclined to
believe that the layoffs in tech are more a function
of tech companies responding to what we're gonna call The
Elon musk effect when he BOUGHT x for all of
The remember When Elon musk came in and fired a
ton of. People there was all, this, OH ex is

(01:28:02):
never going to work, right and it was glitchy on.
Occasion but the reality is is THAT ex streamlined operations
in a way that other tech companies, went, HUH i
wonder if we can do, That and now, tech after
years of expansion and lovely, benefits has, said maybe we
can do less or more with. Less by the, Way

(01:28:23):
microsoft was the last holdout with return to work and
return to office, orders AND i saw an email or
press release earlier they have finally told their workers to
come back to the office three days a. Week so
the glory days of work from home are really starting
to look like they are in the. Background but here's
WHAT i want to know from you via the text

(01:28:44):
line at five six six nine, ER i want to
know how you view the job? Market are you and
this Isn't i'm worried about the job market for other, people.
RIGHT i don't want you to think about anybody. ELSE
i want you to think about your current. Situation if
you are still in the, workforce would you leave your
job now without another? ONE i would never do that

(01:29:05):
anyway UNLESS i got. FIRED i, mean just straight. Up
that's been drilled into me since the beginning of. Time
what do you think about your current? Industry what are
the job prospects if you're a business, owner are you, hiring,
firing or staying pat? Right that's WHAT i want to.
Know five six six nine er hit up the Common
spirit help tex, Ligne. Mandy we will need more upward

(01:29:25):
mobility and cheaper housing, asap or the voters will probably elect.
Socialists exactly.

Speaker 6 (01:29:31):
Right and you know the irony of.

Speaker 4 (01:29:32):
That the people that think socialists will solve that problem
don't realize that many of those problems have been created by.
Government government regulations have made housing incredibly. Expensive here In
denver and In, colorado we Have democrats who cannot wait
to put more insane restrictions on. Landlords every restriction they
put on a landlord literally translates directly to higher rent

(01:29:56):
Because i'm not absorbing that as a. Landlord it's kind of.
Funny it's kind of, Funny. Mandy go back to original
copy and paste until they get their websites. Straight. NOW i,
KNOW i know they're getting it worked. Out i'm getting it. Anyway.
Mandy did you see ON x The chicago is blocking

(01:30:18):
