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

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

Speaker 3 (00:11):
On Kama, Got Satty and the Noisy through three, Andy Connall,
Keith sad Thing, Welcome, Local, Welcome to a what is
today Tuesday edition of the show.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
I'm your host for the next three hours, Ish.

Speaker 5 (00:34):
Mandy Connell, joined of course by my right hand man.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
I call him a Rob, you can call him Anthony Rodriguez.
And we have a very busy show planned for you
today as we lead up to the big presidential debate tonight.
And every single person I think that I've run into
almost today is said, Mandy, what do you think is
going to happen tonight?

Speaker 5 (00:53):
And I don't know.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
I mean, did anybody expect what happened in the first
debate to have now?

Speaker 5 (01:00):
Don't get me wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
Those of us who had long ago lost confidence in
the mental faculties of the President of the United States
were expecting him to fare poorly. But no one except
maybe the handlers who got him ready for the debate,
knew exactly how bad it was going to be. And
tonight we have Kamala Harris, Vice President, Kamala Harris, who
is going to present herself as a change agent as

(01:25):
she continues to sit in the administration that currently holds office.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
Polling has shown that line is.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Not as they say in the South, that dog won't
hunt and if they don't figure out the messaging, Ross
and I were just talking about the fact that she
has way more to lose in this than Donald Trump does,
because unless Donald Trump does something just like, I mean,
start quacking like a duck, or if he remains completely

(01:55):
disciplined throughout the entire debate, we all know what we're
gonna get from Donald Trump, right, No, he can go
from making a really solid, coherent argument about policy to
rambling about golf game handicaps. I mean, anything could happen.
But you know what you're gonna get from Trump tonight.
If Kamala Harris starts to wander down the word salad

(02:16):
salad bar and if Kamala Harris does that thing that
she is prone to do where she just rephrases the
question as the answer, people are gonna be like, I
don't feel a joy here, I'm joyless.

Speaker 5 (02:30):
After this debate, She's got a lot to lose. Let
me tell you what's on the blog.

That's the big secret. So I want to play a little.

at six point thirty, although a rod, I got a
dential appointment, gotta get.

Speaker 7 (04:36):
My teeth clean teeth, Yeah, what time is that?

Speaker 5 (04:38):

Speaker 7 (04:43):

Speaker 4 (04:45):
I'll be here by the time we start. It'll be fun.

Speaker 2 (05:18):

Speaker 5 (05:20):
Hello, there's a strategy here, Anthony, a strategy so that
at six thirty join us on Facebook. Now, if you're looking.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
For the unaltered version of the speech, then you're going
to want to tune on over to our k House
station for the ABC News presidential debate starting at seven pm. Now,
we are going to be live on Facebook on Koa,
Colorado Facebook page at.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
Six thirty kind of doing.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
The pregame, getting our popcorn, Ross Bots and beer. Ben's
bringing bourbon for himself, and we're gonna kind of get loose,
you know, loosen up, do some stretches, maybe some things
I don't know, and then we're gonna just tear into
whatever the debate is. And I want to ask you
guys in the listening audience, and you can always weigh
in on the KOA Common Spirit Health text line at

(06:05):
five sixty six ' nine.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
Oh, and you can.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
Go ahead and text us your predictions for tonight, right
because I'd like to know what you think.

Speaker 5 (06:20):
Is going to happen.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Now, much ado has been made about the fact that
the Harris campaign. Vice President Harris wanted the mikes unmuted
during the debate. Now, if you saw the first debate,
the disastrous debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump that
ended Joe Biden's career, you saw that when the mukes
the mics were muted, it.

Speaker 5 (06:42):
Was a much more civilized debate.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
I actually enjoyed it quite a bit, and I got
more substance out of it. Now, Vice President Harris decided
that she didn't want to play by those rules, and
she wanted the mikes on all the time.

Speaker 5 (06:55):
Now, why would she do this? And I'm gonna tell
you why, I already know I know the.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
Answer, much like George Costanzo went to great lengths to
recreate the business meeting that happened so he could use
the line, oh yeah, well a jerkstore called they're all
out of you on a colleague, a comeback he thought
of much too late. In that same way, Kamala Harris's

(07:19):
campaign was trying to set up a moment where Trump
interrupted her so she could have the excuse me, I'm
speaking moment to show how tough she was. That's the
only reason they wanted that I would consider betting a
paycheck on that. There's no way to actually find out
if I'm right, but I bet you that's it.

Speaker 5 (07:40):
And here's the thing.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
Lines that become iconic out of a debate out of
you know, usually out of a debate.

Speaker 5 (07:49):
They're not scripted.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
This is one thing that I always hated about Ted Cruz.
Ted Cruz came to a debate with some zingers in
his pocket. My gosh, ba golly, he was gonna just
wait for the right moment, just who put and they
always fall flat. Anything contrived in that manner. You have
to be able to come up with that stuff on

(08:11):
the fly or just.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
Don't do it. Don't do it.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
So uh yeah, tonight's gonna be very very interesting. What's
the drinking game word for Harris?

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Now?

Speaker 4 (08:23):
I do not endure drinking games around political debates because
if you picked the right world, you're gonna send people
to the hospital and maybe even death. Right, So yeah,
uh we shall see, isn't it. Let's see here, win
or lose. Vice President Kamalo will be declared the winner.

(08:46):
I will say this, the media got short sheeted last
time by Joe Biden, so there is going to be
a reflexive Oh my god, she did incredibly well, even
if she just does like does even right, if she's
remotely close to even, they're going to give the debate
to her. That's a given, you're absolutely right. So it's

(09:09):
going to be interesting to see how they spend this,
especially if she cannot explain her way out of the
positions that she held not that long ago that are
significantly different than the positions she is holding today. Now,
I want to share something from CNN, and it's about
three and a half minutes long, but I just want

(09:30):
to play it because you need to understand. This is
from CNN. Caitlin Clark is the first voice you hear.

Speaker 6 (09:40):
Listen to this.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Tonight.

Speaker 9 (09:43):
Kamala Harris releasing details of her policy positions for the
first time on her campaign website. A K file investigation
has uncovered meantime a twenty nineteen questionnaire, and in this questionnaire,
Harris laid out some much more liberal stances, among them
on him a gration So in twenty nineteen and what
K file found, she said she would cut funding too ICE,

(10:05):
writing quote, our immigrant detention system is out of control,
and I believe we must end the unfair incarceration of
thousands of individuals, families, and children. I was one of
the first senators after President Trump was elected to advocate
for a decrease in funding to ICE. Well, now, of course,
she's touting the Biden administration's executive.

Speaker 6 (10:23):
Order to crack down on the border.

Speaker 9 (10:25):
K File's Andre Kaczinski joins me, Now, Andrew, that's pretty
incredible on its own when you're talking about what you
found here on ICE, what else did you find?

Speaker 10 (10:34):
Yeah, and this was a questionnaire that she filled out
for the ACLU, And this questionnaire is really an interesting
snapshot in time of that twenty nineteen Democratic primary, Kamala
Harris was trying to get to the left of Bernie Sanders,
She was trying to get to the left of Elizabeth Warren.
And you really see that in a lot of these answers.
And I want to walk our of yours through a
little bit of what she said. Let's just take immigration

(10:56):
and look at what she said here. She said on immigration,
she made this open ended pledge to end immigrant attention.
She said she supported taxpayer funded gender transition surgeries for
detained migrants.

Speaker 7 (11:07):
She also said she tax.

Speaker 9 (11:09):
Pair funded gender transition surgeries for detainment.

Speaker 5 (11:12):
Actually said she supported.

Speaker 10 (11:13):
She wrote both wrote and answered in the affirmative when
she was asked this, and she said she also supported
it for federal prisoners. Now, she also pledged to slash
immigration detention by fifty percent, close all family and private facilities,
and decrease funding for ICE, and then the end uh
D and ICE detainers with local law enforcement.

Speaker 9 (11:35):
I mean, these are these are things that you know,
it would be hard to think that you would come
up with tax payer funding gender transitions for uh for
detained migrants.

Speaker 5 (11:43):
And yet this, as you.

Speaker 9 (11:43):
Say, written and verbally, uh, you know, what else you
know did you find?

Speaker 5 (11:50):
Well, let's also let's take a.

Speaker 10 (11:51):
Look at her answer here on drugs she got asked about.
You know, this is the question from the ACLU was,
since drug use is better addressed as a public health
issue through treatment and other programming, will you support the
decriminalization at the federal level of all drug possession for
personal use? And Harris answers, yes, Now, what would that mean?

(12:12):
Will it mean the federal all all drug possession. That's
not just marijuana, which she alluded to in her answer
to this question, but it also would.

Speaker 9 (12:19):
Mean cocaine, things like that.

Speaker 11 (12:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (12:23):
Have they responded to you on her changes on these issues?

Speaker 10 (12:26):
So we did put this question to the Harris campaign.
The entire uh ACLU questionnaire in the Harris campaign didn't
answer any questions from CNN. Instead, they just provided a
statement from an unnamed Harris campaign advisor that just said
the Vice President's positions have been shaped by three years
of effective government governance as part of the Biden Harris administration.

Speaker 7 (12:49):
Now, they declined to CNN.

Speaker 10 (12:52):
To elaborate on what those positions were, and then they
also provided this statement which they attributed to a spokesperson
saying as president, she will take that same pragmatic approach,
focusing on common sense solutions.

Speaker 5 (13:04):
For the sake of progress.

Speaker 10 (13:05):
So where does she stand on all this question or today?

Speaker 7 (13:08):
We don't know and they won't say so.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
I mean, you, guys, how do you walk back advocating
for taxpayers in the United States of America to pay
for the sex changes of illegal immigrants that you believe
should have been released from custody because all of our
detention centers should be shut down and we should defund ice.

Speaker 5 (13:32):
How how do you walk that back?

Speaker 4 (13:35):
How does the campaign say she's learned from three years
in this administration, the one she's trying to turn her
back on all the time, and tell people that she's.

Speaker 5 (13:44):
An agent of change from This.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
Is the most nonsensical messaging in the entire world, and
it indicates to me that the Harris campaign is counting
on the media to not ask any follow up questions,
and they're counting on voters who get their information in
thirty second videos from TikTok and people who get stuff
on Facebook who barely pay attention, only seeing the parts

(14:09):
where she's being tough. Now because they're flooding the airways
with commercials that.

Speaker 5 (14:12):
Say that it's really I'm going to use the.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
Word disrespectful, because I can't think of a better way
to describe what the Harris campaign is doing to the
American people right now in terms of the blatant nature
of ignoring the fact that either Okay, so this is
what I would ask Vice President har Harris if I
ever had the opportunity, I would say, you've said you've

(14:40):
learned from three years of actual experience in the White House.

Speaker 5 (14:44):
So are you admitting that all of.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
Your policy positions were wrong in twenty nineteen?

Speaker 5 (14:50):
Is that what your admission is? And if so, why
should we trust your judgment? Ever? If you were literally
wrong about everything, I should we trust your judgment?

Speaker 4 (15:01):
These are the things that I would hope that President
Trump would hit her on tonight.

Speaker 5 (15:06):
Here's what I don't want to hear. Even though I
just had an.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
Exchange on a text message, so somebody brought up and
by the way, this never occurred to me, and I'd
forgotten all about this. But I'm going to bring this
up and try to do it in language that we
can all understand. So this texter said something about, oh no,
it's already gone, Oh, here it is. But did she

(15:30):
talking about Vice President Harris? But did she say she
wants to grab them by the blank? You all remember
what Trump said, give me a break. Ends that text here,
and I said, you know, I didn't spell all this
out because we have very limited characters to respond on
the text line. But isn't it interesting that the candidate
running against Donald Trump kind of proved what he said

(15:51):
was true in her relationship with Mayor Willie Brown At
the time. He was a powerful man, much older than
she was, certainly not the most attractive guy in the world,
but very powerful. It's interesting, isn't it? Just I just
thought that was interesting. But I don't want to hear

(16:11):
about any of that tonight. I don't want to hear
about personal attacks. I want to hear him talk about
her actual record, her actual statements, her taking credit for
the disastrous withdrawal of Afghanistan. If you've not been following
along in the news about how they are trying to
spin that so hard, because here's what happened. Trump made

(16:33):
a deal with the Taliban, absolutely, and the excuse that
the Biden administration lofted first for the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Speaker 5 (16:40):
Was well, he didn't leave us good plans. What it's
your administration.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
But that didn't work. So now it's all kinds of
you know, blame gaming. There's going to be a lot
of that tonight as she tries to push it off
on Trump and Trump rightfully, so make sure that she
is reminded. She said she was last voice in Joe
Biden's ear on that and she felt good about it.
So yeah, it's it's gonna be uh, it's gonna be fascinating.

Speaker 5 (17:07):
To watch tonight. For sure, Mandy liberals don't care.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
They are indoctrinated communists and want to be relying on
the government.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
They want a free ride.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
That is probably true of some, but certainly not true
of all. Mandy makes Biden putting Harris in charge of
the border an even more interesting choice, considering she wanted
to shut down Ice. But remember she wasn't the border czar.
She was in charge of root causes. Okay, how's that

(17:37):
root cause thing going? I mean, you know, if they
were to change the narrative.

Speaker 5 (17:41):
That's fine. I think how's that root cause thing going?
Is a legit question?

Speaker 4 (17:47):
How much more stable are Central and South America? Right
now because of the actions of Vice President Harris. What
did she accomplish on her mission of root causes? Please, Mandy,
we have an employee use up for a promotion. She's
failed to meet any of our expectations for three years,
has not fulfilled her promises made at the time of hiring. However,

(18:08):
some people think we should give her a promotion because
she promises to do better. I think what you're doing
there is you're playing a clever word game and you're
actually talking about Vice President Harris. Clever texter, smarty pants.

Speaker 5 (18:24):
Mandy. I love your show every day. You are awesome.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
Well thanks, if possible off topic, but people listen to you. Well,
you know, could you please remind people not to leave
pets in the car. Animal Control went out on a
call for a dog.

Speaker 5 (18:38):
In a truck today.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
They said it is twenty degrees hotter than the temperature
outside in the vehicle, which can be deadly.

Speaker 5 (18:44):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (18:45):
Please do not cook your animals in your car or
your children. Growing up in Florida, I'm very sensitive to that,
and growing up in Florida, I have stood by in
support as someone throw a rock through a window to
get a dog out.

Speaker 5 (18:58):
So I support that kind of action as well. Just
to let you know, don't do.

Speaker 4 (19:04):
That, Mandy, for tonight, you have to drink every time
Kamala cackles.

Speaker 5 (19:09):
Yikes.

Speaker 4 (19:10):
Andy asked this earl. Sean asked this earlier. Mandy, what
accent do you think Kamala Harris will be using tonight?
It'll be the super stern.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
I'm in charge.

Speaker 4 (19:20):
Excuse me, I'm talking voice prosecutor voice, which I don't
know if that's gonna play well with people.

Speaker 5 (19:28):
But I guess we're gonna see. When we get back.
We're switching gears entirely.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
I'm super excited to have actor and comedian Billy Gardell
join us. He is going to be at Comedy Works
next week. No this week, No next week, a week,
a week from today, a week from Thursday. Yes, I
looked it up earlier. Now, I promise a rod as
being skeptical for good reason, but I did actually look
it up on that one to see I know, I

(19:54):
knew I was right about that. But regardless of when
he's going to be at Comedy Works, he's going to
be on my show right after this. Me now as
a guy that you have probably seen somewhere because Billy
Gardell has been doing his job as a stand up
comedian and then comedic actor on so many different TV
shows and movies and everything else.

Speaker 5 (20:12):
And now he's back on the road.

Speaker 4 (20:14):
Because well, he didn't have anything better to do, so
he thought, why not, I'll just go back to Denver
to Comedy Works the Landmark in a week or so
and see the great people of Denver. But now he's
going to talk to you first. Billy Gardell, Welcome to
the show.

Speaker 11 (20:28):
Thanks Mandy. How is good sitting again?

Speaker 5 (20:30):
It's good to see you. You look fantastic.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
Can we just start right there because you are a
great example as a guy who said, Okay, this whole
big guy thing is not physically healthy for me anymore,
and I'm gonna do something about it. Tell me a
little bit about that journey for a second.

Speaker 12 (20:49):
Well, I always say I went from a young Jackie
Gleason and now an old Paul move. That's kind of
what that was my transition I had to, you know,
after Mike and Bali, which was just a life changer
for me career wise. You know, my health was getting
bad because of being you know, you can be big
for a long time, but you can't outrun those numbers

(21:10):
when they start clicking up. And then I started losing
weight on Bob Hart's Abashola and but.

Speaker 11 (21:16):
I was in that then a lot of heavy people suffer.

Speaker 12 (21:19):
I was gaining and losing the same thirty pounds for
about five years. And then you know when when COVID
first came out, like my doctor was like, listen, you
need to really be careful because at that time, I had,
like you know when it said all the most dangerous
things like sleep out in the asthma, type two diabetes smoker,
Like I.

Speaker 11 (21:37):
Was like, bingo got a full card.

Speaker 12 (21:39):
So I had to I had to really look hard
at changing my health. And so I decided to just
stop everything else and get healthy. And uh and now, yeah.

Speaker 11 (21:49):
It's weird. Man, I made myself unrecognizable.

Speaker 12 (21:52):
The only time people catch catch wind to me is
like when I talked is you know my dad said,
my voice was like a car horn.

Speaker 11 (21:58):
It should be on an ambulance get.

Speaker 6 (21:59):
Out of there's been an accident.

Speaker 12 (22:01):
But otherwise, man, it's it's it's been a weird transition.
And that has kind of made me want to write
about that. And then my kid went off to college,
so we're empty nesters now, and it made me want
to write about that.

Speaker 11 (22:14):
And then my wife and I just celebrated twenty three years.

Speaker 12 (22:17):
So these things start started percolating, and that little itch
came and I was like, I'm going to get back up.

Speaker 11 (22:23):
And I had some buddies that were really really encouraging
to get back up.

Speaker 12 (22:28):
Ian Bag and Steve Byrne and Jay Leno and Christopher Titus.
These were all guys that were they weren't letting me
completely go away. And then finally I just went over
to an open mic night and jumped back up. And boy,
want it hits you, It hits you. And now I
just it feels like the early days. Man, I feel
like I'm starting my band over. So it's really it's
kind of really cool.

Speaker 5 (22:47):
I mean, and I've.

Speaker 11 (22:48):
Always wanted to play.

Speaker 13 (22:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (22:50):
I want to ask you.

Speaker 12 (22:51):
Listeners please come out and watch the show because I've
always wanted to play the comedy books.

Speaker 11 (22:55):
Even when I was a younger.

Speaker 12 (22:56):
Comic, I never heard anything but phenomenal things about these
club So I'm very excited to.

Speaker 11 (23:02):
Complay the comedy work South in the Landmark.

Speaker 5 (23:04):
I believe, Yes, you're at the Landmark. Yeah, you're at
the Landmark. They are.

Speaker 4 (23:08):
Whenever I talk to comedians, they all say this is
one of their favorite clubs to play. We are great
audiences because everyone is stoned all the time, so you're
receptive to comedy.

Speaker 5 (23:19):
And you know, talking about you've been.

Speaker 4 (23:21):
In comedy since you were in your like lateeens, early twenties.

Speaker 11 (23:27):
Yeah, I started when I was seventeen.

Speaker 12 (23:29):
My first open mic night was December twenty eighth, nineteen
eighty seven. Back when life was pretty fun. We had
a pretty fun time being from gen X man. I mean,
we had our troubles. I was telling my kid this
look I go, and I tell his buddies, take the
phone and take a one day a week break from it.
I know you can't get off of it, but take
a day away.

Speaker 11 (23:49):
I go.

Speaker 6 (23:49):
That's how we.

Speaker 12 (23:50):
Got through it in gen X. I go the Follows
program to tell you everything's horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible.

Speaker 11 (23:56):
I go. But we had bad stuff too.

Speaker 12 (23:57):
We had we had aids, we had crack, we had homelessness.
I went a contra fair like there was stuff going on,
but Friday night we were at the club. So instead
of it being horrible every day, it was like horrible, horrible, horrible.
I'll stop the world and now for you, and then
we would go back to it on Monday. So I
just thought I'm trying to come from a place where

(24:17):
I can give the youngsters.

Speaker 11 (24:19):
Some life action. Gen X. I always telling them think
of me as the ghost of Christmas path, I'm here
to help you.

Speaker 5 (24:25):
Well, I mean, I agree. I talk about stuff like
this all the time.

Speaker 4 (24:29):
And I have a fifteen year old daughter who's definitely
jen Alpha, and she's so dismissive of when I talk about.

Speaker 5 (24:36):
The olden days when we only had three channels on television,
and then she's just like, Mom, what is wrong with you?

Speaker 4 (24:43):
I go, you guys, you think you have it better,
but in so many ways you have it worse. Like
my parents didn't know where I was from ninth till
twelfth grade, Like no clue where I was.

Speaker 5 (24:54):
And it was fine. They were like, she's always over clothes,
It's fine.

Speaker 12 (24:59):
If you remember in gen X, nobody was watching us.
They used to have a commercial at ten o'clock. It's
ten pm. Do you know where your children are? They
had to remind them they had.

Speaker 11 (25:07):
Kids, you know what I mean?

Speaker 12 (25:09):
But like I said, I think there's a I think
the stuff we can teach them that might help, you
know what I mean. I think there's see you know,
I'm a big believer. You know, remember the song video
killed the radio. So of course I think that's what
social media has done the television and the movies.

Speaker 11 (25:22):
And I think it was a mistake.

Speaker 5 (25:26):
That I absolutely agree with that.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
I mean, you talk about a shift that is not
I mean, we weren't depressed. If we were depressed or
had anxiety when we were kids, our friends would have
just been like, suck it up, Buttercup, let's go.

Speaker 5 (25:41):
And it would have been over. There's no time to
fallow when you're a gen xer.

Speaker 12 (25:46):
I think gen X definitely has to suck it up.
But we were also pretty open with.

Speaker 11 (25:50):
Each other, which I think these kids kind of have.
I watched them.

Speaker 12 (25:52):
They're very kind with each other, but they're very traumatized.
And I don't think that's fair to lay all that
on them. Because we raised the generation of housecats, and
that's because we were just fair all running through the streets.

Speaker 11 (26:06):
And so we overworried for our kids. So some of
that's on us, you know.

Speaker 12 (26:09):
So I try to I try to hit the middle
of the road with that, like I call balls and strikes, you.

Speaker 11 (26:14):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (26:14):
Yeah, Billy Gardella is my guest. He's going to be
at Landmark Comedy Works. Not this weekend, the following weekend.
I look today, either tickets available. I am going to
come to one of your shows for sure. I just
I mean again, could you add that, Nae? Because we're
getting older, Billy, could you add like a two thirty
maybe a four o'clock show for.

Speaker 5 (26:30):
You know, the elderly among us who have to be
in bed by nine thirty.

Speaker 12 (26:36):
List and Mandy, I'd be happy with with a three
o'clock dinner and a five o'clock show.

Speaker 11 (26:40):
I'm talking with that. I'm just fine. We could all
be home by eight o'clock. That'd be wonderful.

Speaker 5 (26:44):
We would make it the des there's.

Speaker 12 (26:45):
Some pretty early showtimes on one on Thursday, one on Friday, too, Saturday.

Speaker 11 (26:49):
And it's nineteen twenty and twenty one.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
I want to ask you.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
One more question before we run out of time, because
I'm about to do this on my program here tonight
is the big presidential debate We're about to like, I'm
going to ask my list to either come up with
an over under that we can put together for tonight's debate,
or maybe a bingo card square.

Speaker 5 (27:05):
Do you ever talk about politics?

Speaker 4 (27:07):
Because I have to say, at this moment in time,
it is almost hard to make fun of politics because
we're in such an absurd time period. It's almost too
strange to make fun of it.

Speaker 12 (27:20):
I actually don't talk about politics on stage for that reason.
I don't think at this point where we're at, we
we can change anybody else's mind. It's kind of you know,
I know they always say there's undecided people. I'm not
sure what they're undecided about. It's pretty clear what's going on.
You're one way or the other. But the one thing

(27:41):
I do try to to encourage is to give you
you know, I'm from Pittsburgh, so I'm a mister Rogers guy.
Give your neighbors some room, compassion. I always vote for compassion.
What do I think is the most compassionate. And then
when my dad taught me to vote, you know, he's
an old navy guy, and he said, never listen to
the politicians, and never listen to the news. Go to

(28:02):
us dot gov org and look at their voting records.

Speaker 11 (28:06):
That's it.

Speaker 12 (28:07):
That's all you need to know, because they're going to
tell you whatever they need to tell you in your time.
But if you go look at their voting records, whatever
you're going to vote for, look up their voting records.
Do they vote in accordance to things that will help
your family and maybe help America as a whole with
all all the rhetoric, because I think we're in this
cycle now where we watch whatever news we want to watch,
we hear a talking head and then we scream that

(28:29):
at someone else, and I don't think that's the way forward.
I think the way forward is to hold them accountable
for their votes, what did they vote on, and let
people evolve in their issues, like if they see something.
This is one thing I wish politicians would do, all
of them think, no matter what, you have to be perfect.
I think that American people would like to hear someone go,
you know, I felt this way, but now I feel
this way because I'm changing.

Speaker 11 (28:51):
Honest man, and go forward and look what is best
for the whole. You know, our common welfare and rust
come first.

Speaker 5 (28:58):
That's Billy Gardell. Everybody to go see him.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
Not this weekend coming up at the Comedy Works Landmark.
We've got to give him a warm Denver welcome. This
is his first trip to Comedy Works, So you're popping
your comedy works cherry on this one, and you're gonna
have a great time.

Speaker 5 (29:11):
Billy's It's good to see Billy. I appreciate you making
time today.

Speaker 11 (29:18):
Mary, You're the best. I appreciate you. Thank you very
much for your sport and your continued support over the years.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
All right, thanks, that's Billy Gardell and you can see
him at Comedy Works. We'll be right back so on
the blog today at mandy'sblog dot com, there's a video
of Congressman Thomas Massey. And if you've listened to the show,
you know I love Congressman Thomas Massey, who I got
to know when I lived in Kentucky. And I realized
over the years that libertarians are difficult to always love

(29:48):
right because unless you are as purely libertarian as they are,
they are bound to take some position here or there.

Speaker 5 (29:54):
That you're like what. I've had that experience with both.

Speaker 4 (29:57):
Rand Paul and Thomas Massey because I am less libertarian,
though I am way more libertarian than our fake libertarian governor,
but I am less libertarian than Rand Paul and Thomas Massey.

Speaker 5 (30:08):
Are that being said.

Speaker 4 (30:10):
If you want to understand why I have this deep
and abiding love for Congressman Thomas Massey in my heart,
I urge you to go to the blog at mandy'sblog
dot com and watch the entire six minutes of him
putting everyone on blast about the debt, Republicans, Democrats.

Speaker 5 (30:31):
He rips apart the House of.

Speaker 4 (30:34):
Representatives for not doing their job and passing separate spending bills.
He makes an open mockery of the fact that we
will go for a continuous resolution first and then we'll
get another omnibus, giant spending piece of crap that wastes
a tremendous amount of money of the American people, your
money and mine, and is just careening us towards a

(30:57):
fiscal debt crisis that we are completely and utterly unprepared for.

Speaker 5 (31:02):
And he holds no prisoners. He takes no prisoners.

Speaker 4 (31:07):
You know, I have been talking about the debt and
deficits since I got my first show in two thousand
and five because I am a small government, small debt person.
I am a person that says Knesyan economics even has
as part of it.

Speaker 5 (31:21):
Now let me just do a little thing here.

Speaker 4 (31:24):
If you don't know what Knesyan economics is, it is
a school of economics that says that the federal government
can spend money. I'm encapsulating this badly. If you want
more information or more specificity, you need to go look
it up yourself. But the general overview here is that
the federal government or any government can create growth by
spending more money, even deficit spending, and that is what's

(31:46):
relied on by politicians who want to continue to spend
money that we don't have, which is just a tax
on the future of America.

Speaker 5 (31:53):
That's all it is.

Speaker 4 (31:54):
Because there is no deficit spending. It's spending we haven't
paid for yet. We're either going to pay for it
in the form of higher taxes. We're going to pay
for it either in inflation because they will debase the
currency to make it easier to pay back the debt,
or we will default on the debt. We will have
a massive debt crisis. It will be a nightmare. We
will lose our standing in the world and will create

(32:14):
a worldwide economic downturn the likes of which we have
never seen. Okay, I'm not trying to be a negative, Nelly.
I'm just laying out the facts as they are. So
I've been a debt and deficit hawk since two thousand
and five, and I've only.

Speaker 5 (32:26):
Watched it get worse and worse and worse under both parties.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
The Republican Party has no moral high ground on this,
and the Democratic Party has never had any moral high
ground on this. I find it ironic when Democrats try
to go, oh, yeah, Trump exploded the debt deficit dary Covid.

Speaker 5 (32:46):
I'm like, oh, oh, so, what have we done since then?

Speaker 4 (32:50):
If you recognize it's wrong, why has your team continued
to explode the deficit every single year since then? I mean,
nobody in DC is taking this seriously because when you
curtail spending, you curtail their power, and they don't like that.
And what's going to end up happening is going to
be something so damaging to main Street that I shudder

(33:13):
to think honestly, and not just in the US, It's
going to create a problem for the rest of the world.
So please, if you want to know why I love
Congressman Thomas Massey and you want to get fired up
about doing something significant about the debt and deficit, just
watch that video at mandy'sblog dot com. Now, when we

(33:33):
get back, we already talked to Jennifer Say about her
participation at the Stop the War on Children rally that's
coming up in October.

Speaker 5 (33:42):
And when we.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
Get back, Lady Maga, a drag queen with Gays Against Groomers,
is going to join us to talk about this rally
and why it's important for everyone to rally around the
protection of children. We're going to talk to Lady Maga
right after.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
This show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock Accident and
Injury Lawyers.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
No, it's Mandy Connell and don On Kola.

Speaker 13 (34:12):
Ninety one FM, SATA Study can then Nicey's through three,
Mandy Donald Keithing, no real.

Speaker 5 (34:23):
Sad bab Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the second hour of
the show.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
And I am pleased as punch to have another speaker
from the upcoming Stop the War on Children rally that
is happening October.

Speaker 5 (34:37):
I should have had this in front of me and
I don't.

Speaker 12 (34:39):
But I know.

Speaker 4 (34:40):
It's October fifth, on the west steps of the Colorado
State Capitol at ten a m. It is sponsored by
our friends at Gaze Against Groomers and one of the
speakers is a person who probably knows way more about
drag and drag shows than I do, and that is
Lady Maga Usa.

Speaker 6 (34:58):
And Lady Maga welcome to the show. First of all, well, hello, Hello,
It's an honor to be here. God bless America, God
bless you, and I'm just so honored to be able
to talk to you today. Thank you for having me on.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
Well, I'm so glad you could make it because you
have quite the persona as Lady Maga Usa.

Speaker 5 (35:19):
Tell me a little bit about your alter ego.

Speaker 6 (35:24):
Well, my alter ego is a drag persona, Lady Maga
Usa obviously make America great again. And I created this
persona because I've been a drag artist for years and
years and years. But I watched the hijacking of the
gay community by the LGBTQIA ever expanding alphabet, queer nonsense, everything,

(35:47):
and I just couldn't consider myself a member of that
alleged community anymore. I was a closeted Trump supporter. Now,
I grew up Mormon, I'm from Utah. Came out of
the closet as a Mormon. You know that was challenging.
But let me tell you. Coming out of the closet
as a gay Trump supporter was one thousand times I'm
not joking. It was one thousand times more difficult. I

(36:09):
lost my entire eight year career in the airline industry.
I lost the whole community of friends I dealt with.
I tried to organize my very first event. They were
threatening to throw bricks at my head. So this community
is just out of control. They are vitriolic, they are aggressive,
and they're not about inclusion and tolerance. They're about cultural dominance.

(36:30):
You will use our pronouns. You are transphobic if you
don't think a thirteen year old girl should get a
mass sectomy. So, as a closet and Trump supporter, I
was like, how can I enter this movement and have
fun and be myself and make a splash and really
make a difference. And we got Senate Bill sixteen passed
here in Utah that made it illegal for predators to

(36:54):
chemically castrate, drug and mutilate children in the name of
gender affirming cares. So, you know, it's been five years.
There's been an ups and there's downs, but it's been
quite an adventure and Lady Magga just makes people happy.
And I'm a man. I don't claim to be I
don't play to be a woman. No, you know, I
don't belong in women's spars. I don't believe women's mathews.
I just like to wear a wig and play the

(37:15):
character and be fabulous and have fine.

Speaker 5 (37:17):
So let me ask you this, because you know, I
love a good drag show.

Speaker 4 (37:21):
Some of my favorite times and memories with my friends
have been at drag shows because they're fun, and they're
over the top, and they can be body and risque.
But I was truly baffled when there seemed to be
this cultural divideline of of these parents that seemed hell
bent on exposing their little children to that kind of art.

Speaker 5 (37:40):
Where did you come Where do you come.

Speaker 14 (37:42):
Down on that?

Speaker 5 (37:43):
And and and when did you realize that this is
kind of entering a new arena.

Speaker 6 (37:50):
Well, my, that's another reason I stepped away from the
mainstream drag community because I saw countless videos of drag
queen in mini's carts, you know, not sitting with their
legs crossed in front of the little children in libraries,
invading taxpayer funded public spaces such as schools and such

(38:10):
as libraries. The taxpayers who are in those schools or
who are visiting that library. Did not give consent for
a sexualized drag show to be going on in those
public venues. If they're doing it in a private venue,
that's sort of another argument. Like people can take children
to an R rated movie. I disagree with that, but

(38:30):
parental rights. But when they're in a public library or
a public school or a public place and they're putting
on just disgusting, debaucherous sexual performances, twerking. First of all,
it gave drag a bad name, and second of all,
I'm not here for that. I might there's sort of
two types of drag. There's weird people who want to

(38:52):
be sexual and somehow they like to feel sexy and
all of that, and then there's the over the top camp,
be silly, comedic type queens like myself. I've got this big,
larger than life like Barbie persona. I'm covered neck to
tell if I'm going to be in a public place,
I have no desire to sexualize myself, especially in public.

(39:14):
So I just believe that it's all part of the agenda,
the globalist agenda, to destroy the family, to destroy our
fundamental Judeo Christian culture in this country, and by confusing
children through Drag Queen Story Hour, they're pushing a very
specific agenda. They're not reading like Where the Wild Things

(39:37):
Are or Ramona or whatever. They are reading very carefully
politically selected books about erasing gender, confusing children, transgenderism, and
topics that little children should not even be considering. They
should be learning the ABCS. So that's that's my problem

(39:57):
with Drag Queen Story Hour, and for public performances that
they do in parks. I don't care if you're over
the top and you're some fat black guy and you
want to do Aretha Franklin, nobody cares, literally, like, no
one cares. Good for you use your obesity for a
creative cause. But that being said, we we if they

(40:19):
had only been doing that sort of campy, over the
top silliness, nobody would care. So the let likes to
claim that everybody's anti drag, everybody's you're gonna it's gonna
be illegal. They always tell me they're gonna put me
in a camp, and it's like no. If you read
the legislation that has to do with drag or whatever,
it's about lewdinous and indecency in public It's not about

(40:42):
your desire to dress up and be an idiot. You
can do that, just don't be a sick pervert in
public in front of kids. Leave the kids alone. You
know it's crazy.

Speaker 4 (40:51):
Lady Maggi USA is my guest and she will you
be appearing in your full regalia at the Stop the
War on Children rally in October.

Speaker 6 (41:01):
I will as much as the novelty of dressing up
has completely worn off. This is sort of the political
tool no it had like I've done this so much.
This is the political tool that I used to defy
the left and for example, me testifying for Senate Bille
sixteen to protect children from transmutilation in Utah. I can
say what other people can't say. I can say this wig,

(41:24):
this makeup, and this costume does not make me a woman.
And I've loved this stuff since I was little, Like
I was born ready to sparkle, you know, I'll dress
up barbies, all that kind of stuff. And one of
my primary messages if you have a child like I was,
who's totally different, who wants to play with dolls, who
wants pink, They are not in the wrong body. They

(41:46):
are not in the wrong body. They're just a fabulous
kid who's a little bit different. But had I been
born to woke parents today, I would have been easily
convinced that I was a girl, and I would have
followed everything they told me, because they groom children into
believing that they're in the wrong body. So by presenting
myself as Lady Maga Usa, it really is just a

(42:07):
huge defiance of the left, and it's also a public
way of saying you don't own us, and I only
identify as gay American. First. My pride flag is the
American flag. But as a gay man, common sense gay
people have to stand up, and that includes a drag artist,
because drag has always been a part of gay culture.
Clean it up, separate ourselves from this terrible, awful predatory

(42:34):
movement that from the Human Rights Campaign to GLAD to
the Democrat Party, every single lgbt QIA plus plus agenda
is focused on children in twenty twenty four, and that's
something I cannot support.

Speaker 4 (42:49):
Well, let me just ask you this because you already
mentioned the fact that you grew up Mormon. Mormons have
historically been unfriendly to gay folks, not not exactly the
warmest welcome, and I ask you that in that way,
only to ask what do you say to people who say, look,
if we don't do this, if we don't normalize every
single aspect of the gay community, then gay children are

(43:11):
going to kill themselves, or gay children, you know, are
going to be tortured or in some way harmed. How
do you respond to that when I'm sure it wasn't
the easiest thing in the world for you to come
to your Mormon parents and say, hey, by the way,
I'm gay.

Speaker 6 (43:24):
Of course, well, the weaponization of suicidality is their number
one emotionally manipulative tool to convince people that it's death
or its trans hormones. And by the way, you said
gay child, my gay son, my gay whatever. They have
erased the term gay from LGBTQ activism. It is now

(43:46):
the queer community, my queer child, and especially my transchild
is going to kill themselves. You're not going to hear
any of them say gay anymore. Like they said Ronda
Santis had that don't say gay, Bill. They're the ones
who don't say. But I am just I celebrate that divide.
I want good old fashioned gay people like those of
us who support gays against groomers to completely step away

(44:10):
and say, look, we want to liberal lives, we want
a white picket fence, we want to make the world fabulous.
Will be your hairstylist. You know, if you're a lesbian,
we'll fix your truck. We have no desire, we have
no desire to indoctrinate your children or impose our way
of life or our sexuality on others. So they are
so good at what they do because they're able to

(44:33):
manipulate the vast majority of the public into thinking that
if you don't encourage hormones, if you don't encourage a
girl to cut off her breast when she's thirteen years old,
I mean, Chloe Cole was fifteen years old, she'll never
recover from that trauma. They say suicide is the only
other option. No, the only other option is to teach

(44:54):
that young person that they are beautiful just the way
they are. Their body is perfect, there is nothing wrong
with them, and that they have been groomed and convinced
by others that there's something wrong with them, when in fact,
they're just different. Save the tomboys, Save the boys like
me who are feminine. You know IV, you know, little
lip gloss doesn't mean you're a woman. It just means

(45:15):
you're different, and that's okay. So we can have that
conversation about being loving. And as for growing up Mormon,
you know, people often ask me what that was like
and how hard it was. To tell you the truth,
it wasn't hard until after I served my Mormon mission,
because I grew up in this very safe environment where

(45:36):
I did not need to think about my sexuality. I
was in Scouts, I was in church activities. I was
on high adventure hikes. I was in student council. I
was in the school place young people, especially teenagers, their
sexuality should not be their focus. Their grade should be
their focus, their school activity should be their focus. And
then I served a Mormon mission in France for two years,

(46:00):
and I was the most devout missionary you ever met.
So I didn't really have to face my sexuality until
after I had served that mission and I came to
terms and I just never became bitter or anti Mormon.
I view growing up Mormon as this awesome, uplifting don't drink,
don't smoke, don't cuss, don't watch story to movies.

Speaker 7 (46:19):
Boo hoo.

Speaker 6 (46:20):
It was a great upbringing and I had this safe
group of incredible Mormon friends and this safe environment that
I was in, and I don't regret that. So I
just view it as I graduated the program, and I
don't feel like I don't feel like the Mormons have
to change their doctrines. Religious tolerance goes, tolerance goes both ways,

(46:41):
and the lgbt QYA plus does not believe in tolerance.
They would make it illegal for a church to not
accept homosexuality if they could, And that is not diversity,
tolerance and inclusion. That's cultural dominance.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
It was.

Speaker 4 (46:57):
It was a very quickly because I have long advocated
for gay marriage. It was a position in other markets
that I was at complete odds with my audience, right,
But for me, the argument was not about church doctrine
as much as it was about legal status, right, because
we weren't talking at the time of forcing churches to
perform gay marriages. I always said I'll be the first

(47:20):
on that protest line too if you try to force it.
But the speed with which we went from we just
want to be able to marry the people that we
want to marry too. You not only must accept us,
but must celebrate our life and who we are has
been pretty remarkable to watch, and hearing you talk about
it from your perspective kind of confirms what I already knew.

(47:43):
It's like, it feels like the activists and all of
the normal gay people that I've known my entire life
who really did just want to get married, they got
it done, and they all kind of went, huh, Okay,
we're just gonna sit back and be married now. And
the activists were like, oh no, we're just getting started.

Speaker 6 (48:00):
That's exactly right. You know, the religious rite often talks
about the slippery slope, and I'm like, well, wola, you
guys are vindicated. However, However, that being said, the game,
the gay issue was over. Nobody cared if your neighbors
were lesbians, you know, wearing their flannel with their short hair.

(48:21):
Nobody cared. Nobody cared about their gay cousin, their gay nephew.
It was a non issue. We achieved our goal of
just being able to visit our partner in the emergency
room get married. My opinion is the government should never
have had anything to do with marriage. I'm libertarian on that,
but I won't go into that. But you know, we
reached a point where we did have common sense integration

(48:43):
into society. That is why, that is why Glad Human
Rights Campaign, Democrat Party. They realized, holy moly, the gay
victim narrative no longer works, and we're not gonna have
our We're not gonna have our millions and millillions of
dollars in funding. We need to accelerate a new victim

(49:05):
narrative because perpetual victimization is very lucrative. That's one and two.
Big Pharma is making billions of dollars off of these
evil drugs that they're pumping into children and adults. And
so that is why the LGBTQ alphabet kept expanding. And

(49:25):
now they have this new queer definition, which is just
straight people in the old days. No, I'm serious. The
people who shopped at Hot Topic are now LGBTQ because
they get to identify as queer or whatever they want.
And really they're just straight people who want attention, and
especially white people who want attention because white people can't

(49:48):
be special. They don't get to be a minority, they
don't get to be black powered, they don't get to
be a Latino. So the only way they get to
join the trendy victim Olympics is by identifying as queer.
So you put on a little black nail polish and
suddenly you're part of the LGBTQ community and that gives
the activists at the Human Rights Campaign way more power.

Speaker 4 (50:10):
Now, Lady Maga USA is going to be at the
rally to Stop the War on Children. It's happening October
fifth at the west steps of the Colorado State Capitol
at ten a m. She is just one of a
long line of speakers that will be It's going to
be a hey, well, you know, I was just trying

(50:30):
to be respectful.

Speaker 6 (50:33):
Well, the persona is obviously a female character, but I
always make sure people are comfortable knowing that they never
have to refer to me as she. The characters obviously
a female character, but I just the pronoun Nazis are terrifying,
so I just make sure you could just call me
a man, whether I'm wearing makeup and a wig or not.

Speaker 5 (50:52):
All right, thank you for that.

Speaker 4 (50:54):
I appreciate that. I hope everybody supports this. Lady Maga Usa,
thank you for your time. You are outstanding.

Speaker 6 (51:02):
Well, thank you. Be sure to follow me on Twitter
one word Lady Maga Usa and on Facebook, Lady Maga Usa.

Speaker 5 (51:09):
All right, thank you sir, and we'll meet again.

Speaker 6 (51:14):
God bless you. I can't wait to meet you in person.

Speaker 5 (51:16):
All right, thank you.

Speaker 4 (51:17):
Fascinating, fascinating yep. So wow, you know that that here's
the thing. I knew he was gonna be awesome. I
didn't know he's gonna be that awesome. But it is
very very interesting to realize there are you know, when

(51:38):
you're a Republican or a conservative and you go off
the reservation, meaning you decide you were gonna think a
different way on a policy position, or you're gonna stand
up for something you believe in that doesn't necessarily go
up against.

Speaker 5 (51:51):
You know, those beliefs.

Speaker 4 (51:55):
I personally have experienced that you kind of just go
as fellow conservative.

Speaker 5 (52:00):
Lo, Okay, I think you're wrong on that.

Speaker 4 (52:03):
But people like Rich Guggenheim and other gay people, they
risk a lot, They risk their entire social circle to.

Speaker 5 (52:12):
Come out and say, you know, this is wrong.

Speaker 4 (52:16):
So, Mandy, I've lost over five thousand friends on Facebook
because I support Trump and I'm gay. I actually now
have only forty six friends. I'm voting for Donald Trump.
So it takes a high level of bravery to come
out when you were a member of the protected class,

(52:37):
whether you are African American or you are gay. And
I'll use the word gay because it was good enough
for my generation. My gosh, my golly, it's a very
brave thing.

Speaker 5 (52:50):
And I'm always appreciative.

Speaker 4 (52:51):
When people take the time to come in and articulate
this in such a way that was just outstanding as
he just did. Mandy, I'm a cross dresser who for
a few years took my kids to drag shows that
were held outside the normal adult arenas. I stopped after
things became overly sexualized at these shows rather than a performance,
And I thought that it was really interesting that he

(53:13):
delineated between the drag queens that I have seen performed
that are highly sexualized. They come out in skimpy costumes
where you spend the entire time wondering where things are tucked,
if you know what I mean, and drag queens like
him who are sort of over the top caricatures of
a woman. And yeah, so that was fascinating. And again

(53:37):
he is going to be part of the Stop the
War on Children rally at the West Steps of the
Capitol October fifth, West Steps of the Colorado Capital at
ten am, so hopefully you can see him there. Now
when we get back, I've got a ton of things
on the blog, but somebody on the blog on the
text line has asked us for a Bingo card a
rod for tonight's things. So we got to come up
with some stuff. I already have an over under that

(54:00):
we're going to hit on. Somebody text us earlier. We'll
do a little bit of this, a little bit of that.
You know, stick around as we have done for our debates.
It is time to come to you via the Common
Spirit Health text line and say what is going to
be on the Bingo card.

Speaker 5 (54:15):
For this evening?

Speaker 4 (54:16):
Text us your ideas. Now, if you don't know what
I'm talking about here, first of all, you can text
us at five sixty six nine zero. Everybody knows what
a Bingo card looks like. Every square in Bingo has
well a number on it and then a letter at
the top be whatever. But this is a little bit
different in that we put something in the square and
once you get that square marked off, you get to

(54:36):
cross it out, and if you get five of those
in a row, you get debate Bingo. Now I have
a text messager here who has given several suggestions, and
one of them is Deda de da hang on for
the Bingo card on my first day. So if Kamala

(54:57):
says that by being about a boom, you cross that off.
I'm speaking now. That's why they wanted to unmute the microphones,
because they wanted Kamala to be able to say, excuse me,
I'm speaking now, to show what a powerful woman she was.
I guarante an to you that that is why they
wanted the MIC's on, just as she could get that
line in my values haven't changed? Oh please God, let

(55:22):
her say that so Trump can follow up with no
one knows what your values are at all?

Speaker 5 (55:30):
And uh when Trump says it was the biggest best,
there you go.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
Now.

Speaker 4 (55:36):
We also have an over under column going right now.
A text or sent this earlier his chosen over under
for the word felon Anthony and needs your.

Speaker 5 (55:46):
Attention for a moment.

Speaker 4 (55:47):
How many times do we think an over under number
that is fair is ten? That's what the listener said,
The over under.

Speaker 7 (55:53):
Should be way way lower.

Speaker 4 (55:54):
You think it's way lower, like five. You said that
four and a half. Okay, we're going to go four
and a half. You're taking the over the under there.

Speaker 15 (56:03):
Oh, then if it's said at that, I will go
I'll still go under because a little bit of high
road from.

Speaker 7 (56:11):
Kamala just a smidge.

Speaker 5 (56:12):
Oh god, no, I'm taking twice. You're taking the over,
the over the exactly.

Speaker 7 (56:19):
Yeah, the under the fellon will come up.

Speaker 5 (56:21):
More than five point five four point five. Yeah, I'm
taking the over on that.

Speaker 7 (56:26):
Kamala mansions or also or also the the moderator mentions.

Speaker 5 (56:29):
I'm going to say total mentions. So do you want
to and give it? Move the move the number up
to like six, Let's go.

Speaker 15 (56:36):
Five and a half over under, okay, because I'm going
to say four because it'll be two mentions by moderator,
maybe two mentions by Kamala.

Speaker 5 (56:42):
I'm going the over.

Speaker 4 (56:45):
I think it's going to show up at least six
times based on everybody saying the word fell in.

Speaker 5 (56:50):
So you've got the under. I've got the over on that.
So if you want to throw an over under, please
let me know. Please.

Speaker 4 (56:55):
Anyway, I want to read some of these about lady
Lady Maga if you just missed her, Mandy, I'm a
moderate Democrat who believes young children are sexualized early enough
in their lives. They don't need drag queens or any
other overtly sexual content forced upon them in schools or libraries.

Speaker 5 (57:12):
I'm no prude for sure, but there's a time and
place for everything.

Speaker 4 (57:15):
It's this kind of thing that gives your basic liberal
Democrats a bad name. That's why we need a viable
alternative to the far right and the far left. I
think most people are somewhere in the middle. I think
you are absolutely right. When you start talking to people
issue by issue, you would be just floored about how
many issues we agree upon.

Speaker 5 (57:37):
So yeah, this person.

Speaker 6 (57:43):
Was asking who I was talking to.

Speaker 4 (57:44):
That was Lady Maga Usa. He'll be at the stop
the War on children. A lot of people say in
the Kamala cackle, how many cackles will we get tonight?

Speaker 5 (57:51):
What's the over under on the cackle?

Speaker 7 (57:55):
Let's go two and a half, because I think it's
gonna be really only a few half yeah cackle.

Speaker 4 (58:02):
I am taking the under on that only because I
said twice her handlers, So what did you say? Would
you set the line.

Speaker 7 (58:08):
At two and a half?

Speaker 5 (58:09):
Okay in the under? Okay, I'm taking the under on
that as well, because she's going to be told not
to laugh. You can't be joyful. You have to be
you have to show people that you're the boss.

Speaker 7 (58:21):
I think she comes out trying to sound like how
she did in her speech at.

Speaker 5 (58:25):
The Yeah, the problem is she's not gonna have a telepromom.

Speaker 7 (58:29):
That's my point.

Speaker 15 (58:30):
I think she comes out trying to start sounding like
she did in her speech. Yeah at the Why am
I drying the link on the word.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
You're at?

Speaker 7 (58:40):
But then yes, then I think it unravels from there.

Speaker 5 (58:43):
Maybe Trump calls her stupid.

Speaker 4 (58:47):
Trump calls I don't know if he would, if you would, no,
I don't, I don't.

Speaker 6 (58:51):
I don't like it.

Speaker 5 (58:52):
I don't think it's on there. Uh bingo card. Let
me be clear.

Speaker 4 (58:57):
Every politician says that that's like the center spot, that's
the gimme center spot. Lent me be clear because all
the rest of the time, obfu skating.

Speaker 5 (59:07):
Kamala la la la. That was just during the DNC cackling.

Speaker 4 (59:12):
A lot of you are saying cackling. And yes, a
Rod will make the interview with Lady Maga. I keep
want to say Lady Gaga, but Lady Maga its own podcast,
so you can share it after the show.

Speaker 5 (59:24):
Project twenty twenty five, that's a good one. Go with
twenty twenty five.

Speaker 4 (59:31):
Let's go with seven and a half for Project twenty
twenty five. Yes, oh no, I think that's way too high.

Speaker 7 (59:38):
That's too high.

Speaker 4 (59:39):
I think it's too high. Oh, it's too high now
because the sting is off that now Project twenty twenty five. Okay, Well,
I'll take the under. I've got the over on, Felon,
I have to keep score down here, Felon, Mandy A. Rod,
hang on making our game. So, Felon, I took over. Cackle,

(01:00:01):
I'm taken under. You're taking the over, and Project twenty
twenty five, I'm taking the under.

Speaker 7 (01:00:06):
No cackle, I said under.

Speaker 5 (01:00:07):
Oh you said the under.

Speaker 7 (01:00:08):
Okay, I think it's just two okay.

Speaker 5 (01:00:10):
And then Project twenty twenty five. I'm taking the under.
You're taking the over.

Speaker 7 (01:00:14):
I'll go under. Kay six times okay, uh.

Speaker 4 (01:00:19):
Trump saying flipflop. I don't know flipflops. Maybe I mean
because it is a very clear word. But I almost
feel like it's been played out a little bit politically.

Speaker 5 (01:00:29):
We'll see if he can.

Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
I would rather h aggressively go after Kamala Harris by
saying were you wrong then or are you wrong now?
And if you were wrong, then why did you change
your mind?

Speaker 7 (01:00:42):
Let's go with a blatant yes or no question. Does
at any point in time Kamala called Trump a racist?

Speaker 5 (01:00:47):
Ooh, commera racist.

Speaker 15 (01:00:50):
I'll go no, because unless he gets under her skin,
I think her plan is to seem because informed probably
will be at So I will go plan of attack
presidential and high road until he gets under her skin
and then there's a chance in the ladder out of
the debate.

Speaker 4 (01:01:08):
Here's why I think that's the exact opposite thing that's
going to happen here, because right now Kamala Harris has
a lot to lose in this debate. Right So to
your thinking, well, she'd come in presidential, but she's proving
herself to be a policy lightweight.

Speaker 5 (01:01:24):
So it behooves her to try and get under Trump.

Speaker 4 (01:01:28):
Skin, to keep the conversation about crap that doesn't matter
in the grand scheme of things, rather than having substantial
policy positions where I think she struggles.

Speaker 15 (01:01:37):
So you think it better serves her to remain in
the dirt, yep, because above ground doesn't seek too.

Speaker 7 (01:01:43):
Well for her.

Speaker 8 (01:01:44):
That is not crottering yep, specifically on policy, above ground,
on off scripts, which words shall be tonight. Yeah, So
I think the last half of this thing is going
to be ugly because the one in two things one.

Speaker 7 (01:01:58):
She'll have worn out all of her pre mind scripted stuff,
or two and or two.

Speaker 15 (01:02:06):
By the latter half of debate, Trump has gotten under
her skin and then it just gets ugly quick.

Speaker 7 (01:02:10):
Who does that?

Speaker 15 (01:02:11):
If this thing gets ugly between the two, who does
it favor more that that happens away?

Speaker 5 (01:02:19):
It depends.

Speaker 4 (01:02:20):
I've never seen Kamala Harris be aggressive under fire. The
only time I've ever seen her be remotely aggressive is
when she called Joe Biden a racist during the prior
debate back in twenty nineteen. But when she was under
attack from Tulsea Gabbard, she clammed up. She did not
perform well in her own defense. But if it looks

(01:02:42):
like Trump is beating on a woman, even rhetorically, there's
going to be that you know, angry feminist population that's
gonna say.

Speaker 5 (01:02:51):
She should be president, but he shouldn't be so mean
to her, which is ridiculous. You can't have your cake
and eat it too.

Speaker 4 (01:02:56):
I'm not sure how that plays, but we all know
that Donald Trump, nobody's better than Donald Trump, and getting
in the mud nobody is well.

Speaker 15 (01:03:03):
And Trump's strategy very much should be the exact same
as the last one. Let her talk, yep, let her
do what she's gonna do, and maybe she just implodes
like Joe did, I mean, honestly, like let it let
her go.

Speaker 7 (01:03:16):
Well.

Speaker 4 (01:03:16):
The fact that she wanted note cards to be allowed
in the debate, oh boy, tells me everything I need
to know. It's not happening, right, No, it's not happening.
Oh boy, absolutely not. All right, we're gonna take a
quick time out. We'll come back to this in the
next hour. But I got some stuff on the blog,
including an op ed written by a man from Tennessee
who came to Denver on vacation and in one short

(01:03:37):
trip we beat.

Speaker 5 (01:03:38):
The progressive out of him. I'll share that next. It
is interesting when you see someone confronted with the consequences
of their own actions in a way in this I
saw this column, and of course the headline grabbed me
right away. Opinion.

Speaker 4 (01:03:54):
A random assault in downtown Denver has me rethinking our
approach to homelessness. You don't say, hey, you had me
right there now. I'm not gonna read the whole thing.
I just want to share this part. The person who
wrote this editorial or it's not really an editorial, it's
a guest editorial, is a newspaper guy from Tennessee. He
was in Denver on vacation, staying downtown, walking over to

(01:04:18):
Larimer Street to get something to eat for dinner when
he was punched in the back of the neck by
a crazy homeless guy downtown.

Speaker 5 (01:04:28):
Luckily, he was not seriously hurt, but it was enough.

Speaker 4 (01:04:32):
To make him put pen to paper or paper and
printer or however he wrote the column that doesn't matter.
But he sat down and he wrote a big old
column about it, and I want to just share this part.

Speaker 5 (01:04:44):
He says. I'm angry at you, I'm angry at me.

Speaker 4 (01:04:48):
I'm angry that we have collectively created and sanctioned to
society that is unsafe.

Speaker 5 (01:04:54):
Unsafe.

Speaker 4 (01:04:55):
If I, as a visitor to Denver, could be attacked
in broad daylight on a nice unprovoked by an unhoused.

Speaker 5 (01:05:02):
Man, then we are unsafe. We failed.

Speaker 4 (01:05:05):
I failed you, and you have failed me, and we've
all failed that man who's psychosis or drug induced delusion
or whatever demons he's dealing with led him to attack
a stranger. He continues, I'm no expert on homelessness, but
it's nothing new to me. Formally, I've worked in soup
kitchens and volunteered with a room in the in shelter program. Informally,

(01:05:26):
I've shared meals with homeless folks and taken people to
motel rooms in the middle of winter. But in the
last several years, I've been surprised to see how bad
this situation has become, and it's become increasingly difficult for
me to call any of this okay. Entire sections of
public parks and queens abandoned to become urine so campgrounds,

(01:05:48):
blocks of roadside RVs becoming permanent lodging along the railroad
tracks outside San Francisco, and now this in Denver, of
all places.

Speaker 5 (01:05:59):
He goes on to talk about how he has sympathy
for people and blah blah blah.

Speaker 4 (01:06:05):
But the reality is is that this gentleman who through
his own actions, that he put in this this editorial
or OpEd or whatever you want to call it to
show that he's one of the good ones. Hey, I
actually helped homeless people.

Speaker 5 (01:06:20):
I worked at a shelter. I'm doing the right things,
except they didn't solve the problem. And what's fascinating is
he goes on to.

Speaker 4 (01:06:30):
Say, as cities grapple over rules that would ban sleeping
on the streets, but after what just happened, I have
to agree we need to ban living on the streets.
We need a ban, and in tandem, we need the
resources to fix the situation that we've created. And then
he goes on, we need adequate public housing for those

(01:06:51):
sidelined by our heigh stakes economy. We need forced reinstitutionalization
for those mentally ill who cannot take care of themselves.

Speaker 5 (01:07:00):
And we need free drug treatment for the.

Speaker 4 (01:07:02):
Victims of our pharmaceutical piracy and are ridiculously failed war
on drugs. And to this I say, welcome to the
Republican Party, sir, Because when you incentivize something by making
it easier, And don't get me wrong, I don't think
living on the streets is easy by any stretch of
the imagination. I think it's a living.

Speaker 5 (01:07:22):
Hell, so much so that I've long said we do
not need to allow adults or children who are human
beings to live on the streets like feral.

Speaker 4 (01:07:32):
Animals without running water, without sanitation, without a place to
actually call home. We cannot allow this to continue. And
I just said this the other day. We need to
offer people the choice. You can go to jail for
the quality of life crimes that you're committing every day,
or we can get you into treatment and get you help.

Speaker 5 (01:07:54):
And he's absolutely right.

Speaker 4 (01:07:55):
There are some people, no matter what we do, no
matter what kind of housing we provide, there not capable
of living independently because their mental health issues are so
severe that they are not capable of being safe and
living and taking care of themselves.

Speaker 5 (01:08:10):
And those people need a place to go. So I
found this fascinating. One visit to Denver and the guy's like,
you know, wearing a Maga hat out there. So what
happens when reality smacks you in the back of the head.

Speaker 1 (01:08:23):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and Injury Lawyers.

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
No, it's Mandy Connell, Andy.

Speaker 13 (01:08:31):
Connell, n FM, Sad Sad and the nicety great Many
Connal keeping sad thing.

Speaker 5 (01:08:49):
Well, we welcome to the third hour of the show.

Speaker 11 (01:08:52):
What was that?

Speaker 13 (01:08:53):
What was it?

Speaker 7 (01:08:54):
Was it?

Speaker 5 (01:08:54):
Did you hear that?

Speaker 4 (01:08:55):
Or is that just my headphones or something? Oh, finally,
it's not me for and the button wrong. That's that's
really how it usually operates on this program. I'm your
host for the next fifty something minutes, Mandy Connell, joined
by Anthony Rodriguez, you can call him a rod. So
we have a lot of stuff on the blog today
that we haven't gotten to, but we must talk about
the death of James Earl Jones because James Earl Jones,

(01:09:17):
we found out at the end of the show yesterday,
passed away at the age of ninety three, which is
a great run.

Speaker 7 (01:09:23):
If I may in the Darth Vader voice from episode
three D.

Speaker 16 (01:09:30):
It's amazing how many people he touched over his career,
became so many's second father exactly.

Speaker 4 (01:09:42):
I'm looking over his entire film and television career and
it is just magnificent legend.

Speaker 5 (01:09:51):
He is a legend. And there's just so few voices
like that anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:09:57):
There's certain voices like if I mentioned Morgan free and
I say to you, imagine Morgan Freeman reading something that
is on the page in front of you right now,
you would absolutely hear Morgan Freeman's voice. I absolutely I'm
hearing it right now, saying Mandy this was a numb idea,
This was a dumb and then James Earl Jones just
it was incredible.

Speaker 5 (01:10:17):
This was Yes, yes it was. But he he passed
away and he will be missed.

Speaker 4 (01:10:24):
And now you have to wonder, I mean, if we
if we exhausted that entire part of the cannon, that
would involve him for Star Wars.

Speaker 7 (01:10:33):
I hate to say no because of AI.

Speaker 5 (01:10:37):
Oh that's true. Yeah, and he was never seen on camera.

Speaker 4 (01:10:41):
I have a video embedded on the blog today of
him on Conan O'Brien show, and he talked about that
he filmed all he did all of his voice work
for Darth Vader in two hours.

Speaker 7 (01:10:50):
Yeah, and they likely, I would assume, over the movies
have enough where they can do that recreation of any
lines they need. And then even then, even without that,
probably still AI can fill in the gaps.

Speaker 5 (01:11:03):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (01:11:03):
No, there's plenty of audio of his voice to have
AI probably recreate it, no problem, easy, peasy, lemon squeeze already,
No no worries, like it.

Speaker 5 (01:11:11):
Would be flawless.

Speaker 4 (01:11:12):
Yeah, some of the deep fake stuff that I've heard,
you simply can Although I'm wondering if his depth and
his warmth is going to come across when Ai recreates
that voice, the timbre of his voice.

Speaker 15 (01:11:25):
I just hope that eventually when I go of all
the things that I see in my last moments in
the sky in the sun Mufasa style with James Earl
Jones saying, come, my child, come to the other side,
we will welcome you with open.

Speaker 4 (01:11:41):
When people on their deathbed, they often have an experience
before they die where they see other relatives that have
passed before them.

Speaker 5 (01:11:48):
It's very common.

Speaker 7 (01:11:49):
Hey, Ron, what did you see?

Speaker 15 (01:11:50):
Yeah, I saw James Earl Jones in the sky telling
me to go back. It's not my time that make me.

Speaker 4 (01:11:59):
And it's so rip James Earl Jones, I mean, just
a really incredibly important talent. But I have a really
dumb question that I want to ask. So, you know,
when I was talking about what Chuck can get me
for my birthday, what we decided on was we're going
to head up to U Monarch Casino for a spa
weekend because they have.

Speaker 5 (01:12:18):
This number two spaw in the country according to their ads.
I'm like, I'll be the judge of that. But then
Chuck and are like, Okay, we're going up.

Speaker 4 (01:12:25):
There for a spa day, spa weekend, and we're at
a casino and we were talking about the fact that
neither of us really liked to gamble, and then we
both discovered it's because we really don't.

Speaker 5 (01:12:34):
Know how to gamble.

Speaker 7 (01:12:36):
Oh, you come into my realm, my elder.

Speaker 5 (01:12:38):
Here's my question. Do they have like like junior gambler
programs at Monarch? Can I can I get somebody at
Monarch to walk around to all the games? First, teach
me how to do stuff?

Speaker 7 (01:12:47):
YouTube is your friend? Okay.

Speaker 15 (01:12:49):
Secondly, please, for your producers, say please, you and Chuck
please try to learn craps.

Speaker 7 (01:12:56):
You guys would have so much fun with. Okay, I
promise it is y'all game.

Speaker 11 (01:13:01):
I know you.

Speaker 15 (01:13:03):
No, no, no, no, no, it's because it's if you
play it the right way. First of all, the right
way the best odds against the house.

Speaker 7 (01:13:09):
Not that you're there to win.

Speaker 15 (01:13:10):
I'm saying to have a good time, but you might
as well also have really good odds. But if you
learn that game, you can just spend so much time
making friends, having a really good community vibe.

Speaker 7 (01:13:20):
It's better than just sitting down slot I'm.

Speaker 5 (01:13:23):
Not a slot machine person, No, I don't get that.

Speaker 7 (01:13:25):
I'm not anything the most fun by far. It's my
dad taught me it.

Speaker 15 (01:13:29):
I so you're telling it's social, it's fun. You don't
lose if you play it right. You also don't lose
that much money, if at all, we we never lose.
We all either win or break even.

Speaker 2 (01:13:40):
Most of the time.

Speaker 15 (01:13:40):
It's break even every now and then we win. But
you're there to have a good time. You're drinking, probably
for free if you're playing long enough. And there's so
much fun strategy to it's not just random.

Speaker 7 (01:13:48):
It's fun.

Speaker 15 (01:13:49):
And I wish, I wish if I had one wish
and it comes to Vegas or black Hawk or anywhere
that gambling.

Speaker 7 (01:13:55):
Please stop making the table.

Speaker 15 (01:13:57):
Version of craps so expensive because it's gone up so much,
like minimums like fifteen dollars the lowest you can find,
which is not good.

Speaker 5 (01:14:04):
I mean, but what are you actually betting on on craps?

Speaker 7 (01:14:06):
What do you mean? What are you betting? What do
I mean?

Speaker 5 (01:14:08):
What do you what are you betting?

Speaker 4 (01:14:09):
Like when you go to roulette, Okay, you're gonna either
play a four square, You're gonna play red, You're gonna
play black, or you're gonna play a number. Pretty straightforward. Yes,
maybe a few other side bets, but pretty straightforward. That's
all you need to know to play roulette. Although Roulette
is a suckers game, but whatever. So in craps, what
are you actually betting on?

Speaker 15 (01:14:25):
If I made the brief explanation, there are two ways
to play the game, two very main ways, the dues
and the don'ts. They do as you are betting with
likely the rest of the people at the table. You
want certain numbers to hit two, three, four, whatever before seven.
Seven is the death out. It's evil, It clears the board.
Everyone's bets are dead. Those are the doers. Okay, and
you have my dad who taught me the donters, which
is you are betting against everyone at the table.

Speaker 7 (01:14:47):
You're betting against those.

Speaker 5 (01:14:48):
Good numbers you want still in at the table.

Speaker 15 (01:14:50):
Yes, you want the seven. You want it clear because
you're betting against all those numbers. So essentially there's a
million bets on the board. You're betting certain things to hit.
You want your bets to hit hit before. You want
as many of your bets to hit before what's called
seven ing out, which clears the entire board.

Speaker 5 (01:15:05):
You can bet on seven.

Speaker 7 (01:15:07):
You can bet on seven, okay, which is part of
the don't strategy.

Speaker 4 (01:15:10):
See bet on seven, yes, and then do you win
everybody's money that you win your bets.

Speaker 15 (01:15:17):
But everyone hates you, so you always want to be
you want to be an undercovered dontor. You never want
to be that jerk at the table everyone lost but
I won, because you'll get you'll get beat up.

Speaker 7 (01:15:26):
And thrown out.

Speaker 5 (01:15:26):
Okay, excellent, good.

Speaker 7 (01:15:27):
But that's the strategy my dad taught me.

Speaker 15 (01:15:29):
And that's the strategy that usually wins more too, that
no one really likes to talk about.

Speaker 7 (01:15:34):
But there's the doers that don'tors a bunch of bets.

Speaker 5 (01:15:36):
The duers are the dontors win more too.

Speaker 15 (01:15:38):
It seems as though the dontors win more because seven
is the most commonly rolled dice combination on.

Speaker 5 (01:15:44):
Two dice, So I see where that would be a problem.

Speaker 15 (01:15:47):
Seven is the most common, so you would think the
most common, most frequent. The key is there is a
lot of people at the table to play the dou
side is they want that you can go a million
times when you get a hot roller, they go like
a million rolls without forgetting a seven, and everyone keeps win, win,
win win, win, win win.

Speaker 7 (01:16:03):
But then you get unlucky and someone hits like sevens
multiple times in a row. The doers are pissed, the
dontors are not.

Speaker 5 (01:16:08):
So do you ever hedge as a doer? Do you
also hedge the don't?

Speaker 15 (01:16:12):
That's where you get into the strategy. I hedge a
bit to where like, for example, I'm playing the don't,
I always do like three bets at one time. So
let's say I have a what are you actually betting on?

Speaker 5 (01:16:20):
This is what I got on those.

Speaker 7 (01:16:22):
Numbers, So you put like a money down you're putting on.

Speaker 4 (01:16:24):
Those called I'm gonna bet on a two, and I'm
gonna bet.

Speaker 5 (01:16:26):
On an eight?

Speaker 15 (01:16:27):
Yes, yes, And then when those hit the goal, let's
say let's do let's say you do one beta. You
bet on a four, Okay, okay, you want a four
to be rolled before a seven is rolled. If a
four is rolled before the seven, you won the four.
If a seven is rolled, it clears everything because you
didn't get a four before that.

Speaker 5 (01:16:44):
What happens if they roll a four? Do you get
your money or do you let it ride? Or what
do you do there?

Speaker 7 (01:16:48):
You get that money plus whatever the odds are.

Speaker 15 (01:16:50):
So usually you can like it doubles that money, or
if you're playing odds on top of it, you get
that and some see.

Speaker 5 (01:16:55):
This is where I have questions. There's I need, I
need follow.

Speaker 7 (01:16:58):
Up information YouTube.

Speaker 15 (01:17:00):
Okay, basic craps strategy. It's the most fun. It's also
extremely complex, but it doesn't have to be. You can
play a lot of different ways. You can also do
the stupid bets, as my dad calls it, which is
what I do. When I have I make a lot
of money on the house, I will do these nuts
so crazy bets where I go. I'm gonna bet right now,
Well one roll for snake eyes. Now it's very unlikely,
but if it hits, it's a big payong Like well,

(01:17:23):
Yogi just said this. As long as the dice are
working for us. We love craps, but we also bet
lots of different things, hard.

Speaker 5 (01:17:29):
Ways c and E, the Yo and Paul bets, the
odds and place bets.

Speaker 4 (01:17:35):
Yes, too expensive now, especially in Vegas if the dice
aren't friendly. We love blackjack, especially if it plays three
to two odds like black jack.

Speaker 5 (01:17:42):
You excited.

Speaker 7 (01:17:44):
There's a million difference like black jack.

Speaker 5 (01:17:46):
I'm not a good card player. This is so frustrating
for my husband because he's from Ohio, where the state
game I think is Yuker, and I don't know how
to play Yuker.

Speaker 4 (01:17:56):
It's a it's a game that you have to have
a partner for. And I'm a tremendous disappointment on this.

Speaker 7 (01:18:00):
Knowing Craps know how fun it is. Knowing you and Chuck,
you guys would have so much funny car how to play?

Speaker 5 (01:18:05):
All right, we'll figure this out.

Speaker 4 (01:18:06):
We got to take a break, little short moment on
the tyreek Kill video because I'm just gonna say it, nobody.

Speaker 5 (01:18:14):
Looks good in that video. The cops look like a holes.
He looks like an a hole.

Speaker 7 (01:18:20):
But it is a perfect.

Speaker 5 (01:18:21):
Example of how easy that situation would have been to avoid,
and that is just give him. Just here you go, officers,
give me my ticket. I'll be on my way.

Speaker 4 (01:18:31):
But no, no, that, in my mind isn't If you
haven't seen it, tyreek Kill, the extremely talented member of
the Miami Dolphins team, got pulled over by police officers,
and instead of just saying here's my license and registration
and sitting there waiting to get the ticket, he rolls
his window back up there were some words exchanged, and

(01:18:52):
then the uh was that Miami Police or was that
Florida Highwy patrolled?

Speaker 7 (01:18:56):
You know, I think it was Miami.

Speaker 5 (01:18:58):
Miami Police hauls him out of his car and put
on the pavement, and it's just.

Speaker 7 (01:19:02):
So bad, so so bad Miami Dade cops.

Speaker 4 (01:19:07):
Yeah, it's just it's a really bad look all the
way around. Nobody looks good in that. Like if I
were either of those sides of that altercation, I would
not have wont that released and just goes to show again,
no matter who you are, teach your kids how to
do a traffic stop. It goes like this, good afternoon, sir,
Why did you pull me over?

Speaker 5 (01:19:28):
They give you a reason, You hand them your license
and registration, They go back, run it, come back, give
you a ticket, You say thank you, have a nice day,
and you drive away. That's what you do.

Speaker 4 (01:19:38):
It's really not that hard. But man, I have that
on the blog today if you want to check it out.
It's just one of those things where you're like, yeah,
no one looks good here, no one at all. Don't
forget tonight. Starting at six point thirty, you can tune
into Koa's Facebook page to see me Roskaminski and Ben Albright,
as we watch the debate, the ABC News presidential debate

(01:20:02):
and make fun of it. Now, that's what we were
supposed to do the last time, but the debate turned
into such a disaster that it wasn't even fun to
make fun of it really wasn't.

Speaker 5 (01:20:12):
It was painful to watch.

Speaker 4 (01:20:14):
It was almost like we couldn't believe it was as
bad as we thought it was going to be. So tonight,
I'm looking forward to tonight's debate being better because I
want to enjoy making.

Speaker 5 (01:20:24):
Fun of a presidential debate.

Speaker 4 (01:20:25):
Now, the speech starts at seven pm, and it will
be airing on our sister station, six point thirty k
how because we've got Rockies Baseball on KOWA. We're going
to be joining in progress after the Rockies game, and
then after the speech is over, we'll probably do about
a half hour of reactions.

Speaker 5 (01:20:42):
So if you watch the debate tonight, and you even
if you don't watch it with us, which would be dumb,
because we'll make it firm more entertaining.

Speaker 4 (01:20:48):
Even if you do watch the debate tonight, you want
to tune in right after the debate, we're going to
be taking your phone calls like we did last time,
kind of do a react show. It's actually really fun
to do that. I enjoyed that last time. It was
the first time we'd ever done that for the debate,
but people had some great takes on it, and it's
going to be very interesting to watch when we get back.

(01:21:09):
There is a new Ish Symphony in town. I'll explain
the new Ish, but it's an opportunity for you to
support something from the ground up.

Speaker 5 (01:21:18):
I'll tell you all about it right after this on KOA.

Speaker 4 (01:21:31):
This is what used to be the irapa Ho Philharmonic
but has now become something even better, bigger, better, stronger, newer.
And joining me now to talk about the new Ish
Symphony is Devin Patrick Hughes, the artistic director and conductor,
and Best Scully, the executive director of what has been

(01:21:52):
the Arapa Ho Symphony, which is now Symphony of the Rockies.
Both of you welcome the show.

Speaker 7 (01:21:58):
First of all, thank you so much, Mandy, love your show.

Speaker 5 (01:22:03):
Well, thank you well.

Speaker 6 (01:22:04):
Devin.

Speaker 5 (01:22:04):
I want to start with you because you are no stickwaiver.

Speaker 4 (01:22:08):
I learned that that was slightly an insult from conductor
to conductor if you got called a stickwaiver. It was
not flattering. You're no stickwaiver, Devin. You have been with
the symphony since twenty.

Speaker 5 (01:22:18):
Thirteen as not only the artistic director but also a conductor.
So why make the change.

Speaker 4 (01:22:24):
Let's talk about the history of the Arapahose Symphony first,
and then why make the change to Symphony of the Rockies.

Speaker 17 (01:22:32):
So the orchestra started in nineteen fifty three, over seventy
years ago by Gordon Parks, a conductor, and it's gone
through various transformations and ever since I've joined, we've been
highly focused on of course playing the great masters Beethoven, Mahler, Brahms,
but premiering also new music by living composers, by underrepresentative composers.

(01:22:57):
We have a piece by Ritney Green alongside of Brahms
and a Beethoven piece coming up in October twenty six,
for instance.

Speaker 5 (01:23:04):
And we've also been highly focused on education.

Speaker 17 (01:23:08):
We know that the symphony orchestra, or at least I
believe that the symphony orchestra is one of the most
magical organisms on earth because it's where everybody comes together,
maybe seventy people with different opinions and different ideas of
how things should sound and how composers should sound and
we unite that, and I do that, and our musicians
do that, and it's this thing that I think that

(01:23:30):
everybody should experience and deserves to experience, which is why
I basically half of our mission is focused on educating
the next generation, So bringing these discovery concerts to kids,
partnering with schools to help the teachers, and to kind
of show students what the music of a symphony orchestra
can do to them, whether it's classical, popular music, rock

(01:23:54):
and roll, rap music, or movie music, and we play
all of that.

Speaker 11 (01:23:57):
Well.

Speaker 4 (01:23:58):
I was looking at your schedule of event and you
guys are very creative with the kind of events that
you have in your discovery concerts for kids and things
of that nature. And best I want to ask you this,
how much time do you guys spend just like sort
of brainstorming what.

Speaker 5 (01:24:14):
You're going to do next?

Speaker 4 (01:24:15):
I mean, how is that process where you go, you
know what, we should have a concert just for kids
to introduce them to.

Speaker 5 (01:24:20):
These big, big sort of musical movements.

Speaker 18 (01:24:25):
I think that's actually the reason why I did this job,
is because it really caters to my creative side, which
I wasn't expecting.

Speaker 11 (01:24:33):
When I first took this job.

Speaker 6 (01:24:35):
But and Devin is so.

Speaker 18 (01:24:37):
Incredibly creative, and we get to sit around and come
up with and including our board members, we all get
to sit around and come up with these fabulous ideas.
And we all know a lot of people in this
industry through composers and musicians, and we sit around and
you know, through all of these connections and people that

(01:24:57):
we know, come up with fabulous ideas and things that
really make a difference in our community, which is what
our mission is is to engage in, enrich and nurture
a very diverse community. And somehow we put together these
concerts and events that really do just that. And that's

(01:25:19):
part of why we're transitioning from the Arapao Philharmonic into
the Symphony of the Rockies is because we want to broaden.

Speaker 5 (01:25:26):
That reach and you know, do more of what we're
doing on a bigger scale.

Speaker 11 (01:25:32):
So we're really excited about this period that we're in.

Speaker 18 (01:25:35):
Devin, after seventy one years the rapt Philharmonic, which is hilarious.

Speaker 4 (01:25:41):
I want to ask you, Devin, because as the guy
who is actually a conductor as well, it seems that
symphonies around the country have sort of been grappling with
how to do exactly what you guys are doing, which
is bringing a new generation into the symphony. And how
much time do you spend focused on that portion versus

(01:26:02):
how much you spend just focused on incredibly good music
or they just go in hand in hand.

Speaker 7 (01:26:09):
I think they're hand in hand. That's an amazing question.

Speaker 5 (01:26:11):
In America, our orchestras are really owned by our community.

Speaker 17 (01:26:16):
So we have musicians on the board, professional musicians on
the board, volunteers on the board, and we have volunteer
members of our community who may be in civic government,
who may be leaders of a corporation, who may just
be ardent advocates of music making in the arts, and
they really guide.

Speaker 7 (01:26:36):
So we're really.

Speaker 17 (01:26:36):
Responsive to what our community needs, whether it be our
patrons or our schools or for example, the city government
of Centennial where we just did a big movie, a concert,
a free concert out in Centennial Park. And so so
that kind of interaction when you join the board, when
when you become a volunteer with our organization, when you

(01:26:57):
when you join an organization, you get to take part
in that kind of musical process where we're not only
programming the music but we're deciding what can go where,
we're deciding where our performances can be. We just added
a concert at the Pace Center that Best was advocating for,
and so we said, okay, what kind of music could

(01:27:17):
we put on that and to kind of keep the
diversity and showcase the incredible diversity of the symphony orchestra,
so we said Moller's Symphony number one, because Gustav Mahler
said a sympony could should contain everything in the world,
and that's what you hear when you come. You hear
all the emotions, all the planets, you know, anything that
you've dreamed possible in this universe. Moller puts it into

(01:27:38):
a symphony, and then Mozart Symphony number thirty five, which.

Speaker 5 (01:27:42):
Mozarts he was able to elevate.

Speaker 17 (01:27:45):
You know, there were hundreds of composers writing at the
time of Mozart and he wasn't getting played as much
as the other composers. But for some reason his music
is still played today because he marries language and drama
and music in a way that nobody had done or
has been able to do since then. And then we
have a new piece by a composer of my my
La my Lanatsui, which is basically a national commission we're

(01:28:08):
taking part in with all these other orchestras called the
Floridian Symphony, which is focusing on different aspects of landscape
in in in in America. So I think it's it's
a really great You know, when many people see a symphony,
they say, oh, well, i'm you know that I didn't
take music appreciation class, I didn't study an instrument. But
in our orchestra and and and many other great orchestras

(01:28:30):
around the country, anybody can become a part of it,
and anybody can become a part of that music making process.

Speaker 4 (01:28:36):
Well, you're having a big kickoff the VIP launch event
and ribbon cutting for the official transition to the Symphony
of the Rockies. And I put a link on the
blog today at nandysblog dot com to the website specifically
to this event. Tell me about that event and what
the what the fundraising is going to do.

Speaker 18 (01:28:58):
So the event is on September nineteenth, and it's one
of our partner's business boundary and we are really excited
about this because we are unveiling all of our new branding.
So we are switching from a Rappah Philharmonic to Symphony
of the Rockies, which you know, in addition to having
all new emails and our new website which we would

(01:29:21):
love for everyone to visit, which is Symphony Rockies dot org.
That's where you can find all of our concerts by
tickets to all of these fabulous concerts that Devin maistre
Views is speaking on. We are also unveiling our new
logo which no one has seen yet and we're really
excited about that.

Speaker 6 (01:29:39):
But we're also going to have lots of silent.

Speaker 18 (01:29:41):
Auction items and all of the money that we raised
from the ticket sales and from the auction items and
from just a fabulous night of delicious food and drinks
and all of our community members and our fans and
everybody being there.

Speaker 11 (01:29:55):
We're going to have performances by our musicians.

Speaker 6 (01:29:59):
Things like that go to all of the programs that
we do.

Speaker 18 (01:30:03):
At the schools, our conducting labs, our honors coaching.

Speaker 11 (01:30:09):
That we do for the schools.

Speaker 18 (01:30:11):
We do a lot of stuff in our community and
it's very important to us and these beautiful concerts, so
we would love to see everybody out there, but mostly
we would love to see you at our concerts. You
can see from maister Hughes when he speaks about our concerts.
One of his great, many great talents is making music

(01:30:32):
accessible and relevant to everyone. And I have the pleasure
of standing backstage when he talks about pieces and watching
audiences faces light up, and you will see five year
olds and one hundred and five year olds all of
a sudden understand what's happening in a piece, and then
when that moment comes in the music, you will hear
an audible gas from everyone because we all get it.

(01:30:54):
We are all experts in that moment, and it's really
inspired and wonderful to see, and I would love for
everyone listening to have that moment.

Speaker 6 (01:31:04):
With us well.

Speaker 4 (01:31:04):
The Symphony of the Rockies not only as having this
upcoming fundraiser to kick off their first their inaugural season
as the Symphony of the Rockies. You can also go
to their website, which I just put a link to
that website directly on the blog so people can go there.

Speaker 5 (01:31:18):
From mandy'sblog dot com.

Speaker 4 (01:31:19):
And I'm already scoping out a couple of shows that
I'm definitely going to come to fourth of July.

Speaker 5 (01:31:23):
You've got me.

Speaker 4 (01:31:25):
I love a Pops on fourth of July, so I'm
super excited about that.

Speaker 5 (01:31:28):
But one of the things that I really think is.

Speaker 4 (01:31:30):
Special about Symphony of the Rockies is you do not
have a single location, so people can look at the
calendar and maybe find something that is closer to their neighborhood.
Maybe they don't want to drive downtown, maybe they don't
want to drive to Parker. They can find something that
is going to be close to their neighborhood and check
it out. Devin Patrick Hughes, Artistic director and conductor and

(01:31:51):
Best Scully, Executive director of the Symphony of the Rockies,
formerly of the Arapahose Symphony.

Speaker 5 (01:31:56):
I really appreciate you guys making.

Speaker 4 (01:31:58):
Time and working so hard to bring what you love
to the masses, because I can tell for both of
you it's definitely a labor of love and it shows
so continued success and we'll see again in the future.
Oh wait, on a personal note, can I ask for
one favor? Would you guys do a show that's just
Bugs Bunny, Because that's really where I learned everything about

(01:32:18):
everything I know about classical music is from Bugs Bunny.

Speaker 17 (01:32:24):
We've been talking about doing like a Fantasia or and
of course yeah, all that. You know, the Lone Ranger
we're playing actually that on Hero. Let me just make
sure I get the date right. I'm ras of Sonora.

Speaker 4 (01:33:06):
Like I feel like I would like classical music more
if I had had experiences like.

Speaker 5 (01:33:13):
This as a kid, you know what I mean? Like,
where are you on classical music?

Speaker 6 (01:33:17):
A rod?

Speaker 5 (01:33:18):
I'm hot?

Speaker 11 (01:33:18):
Cold?

Speaker 5 (01:33:19):
Do you do you run away?

Speaker 2 (01:33:20):
In horror?

Speaker 7 (01:33:20):
I love classical music.

Speaker 13 (01:33:22):
I like some of it.

Speaker 4 (01:33:23):
I've gotten pick here, I guess as I get older,
picky how what what do you guys like just don't enjoy?
Like Wagner for instance, very loud, clangy German music. I
don't enjoy it, and so I'm like, I don't want
to lie.

Speaker 15 (01:33:35):
I will listen to most, if not all, but most
enjoy the the upbeat, happier, especially like Christmas.

Speaker 5 (01:33:43):
Oh well, you know I love Christmas classical music.

Speaker 7 (01:33:45):
Come on, well who doesn't?

Speaker 5 (01:33:47):
Who does not love Christmas classical music?

Speaker 7 (01:33:49):
Not Cracker anyone.

Speaker 5 (01:33:51):
I don't like ballet enough to go to the Nutcracker,
but I'll listen to the soundtrack.

Speaker 7 (01:33:55):
I know, but I just I try so good.

Speaker 5 (01:33:58):
I tried here.

Speaker 4 (01:34:00):
So here's the conversation I had with my mother once.
So I was, you know, because they're families who every year, they.

Speaker 5 (01:34:06):
Have this big tradition of going to the Nutcracker.

Speaker 4 (01:34:08):
Every year as a family. I know multiple families where
this is a family tradition. And I said to my mom,
I go, why why didn't we do anything like that.
She's like, oh, I took you kids.

Speaker 6 (01:34:18):
One year.

Speaker 4 (01:34:19):
We drove over because there was nothing in my hometown.
You had to drive like an hour and a half
to go see any of this stuff. She goes, we
drove over for a matinee and like halfway through, all
three of you were like, we're bored, we want to leave,
and I was bored too, so we did.

Speaker 19 (01:34:32):
And that was it like during the show? Yes, at
least at intermission, probably an intermission. Yeah, and hope so
because my mom would give us out.

Speaker 6 (01:34:39):
Are you here and enjoying this?

Speaker 4 (01:34:40):
Nope, we're not compared to the first musical theater piece
I ever saw live, which was Camelot at the Alhambray
Dinner Theater in Jacksonville, Florida, and I was smitten.

Speaker 7 (01:34:51):
I loved it. It could have gone on.

Speaker 5 (01:34:54):
All day and I would have loved it. Ballet just
and here's the thing. I have incredible appreciation for the
physical difficulty of ballet, like ballerinas. And what are male
ballerinas called, male ballerinos? Look up ballerino and see if
that's a thing. Ballet dudes, men in tights? What do

(01:35:15):
you call these people?

Speaker 11 (01:35:17):
What?

Speaker 5 (01:35:18):
What are male ballerinas called?

Speaker 7 (01:35:20):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:35:21):
I was right, ah, because of.

Speaker 4 (01:35:23):
Gendered language, anthony, hateful gendered language. But I mean, they're
these people are just They're made of muscle and grace,
you know, that's all. They have no fat on their bodies.
They are just a finely tuned machine.

Speaker 5 (01:35:39):
So I can have a great appreciation for it and
still be like ah, is it going to be over No,
that is so no.

Speaker 4 (01:35:48):
But I know people wo feel that way about Shakespeare,
and I love Shakespeare.

Speaker 7 (01:35:51):
And wat Shakespeare all dayanastic.

Speaker 4 (01:35:53):
Well see, but I'm glad now imagine you won't have
to fight me for tickets to ballet.

Speaker 5 (01:35:57):
But the symphony. You should check out some.

Speaker 4 (01:35:59):
Of the concerts, saying coming up, really cool stuff, different, unique,
you know, not the same old, same old, now always
done for different art exactly, something more creative. Well, the
symphony has struggled nationwide. Just the concept of the symphony
has been challenging as symphony patrons have died to be

(01:36:19):
perfectly honest, So symphonies are having to get way more creative,
and they have been.

Speaker 5 (01:36:25):
It's been very impressive, extremely impressive. So tomorrow on the.

Speaker 4 (01:36:31):

really good guests as of late. We've got a guy
named Alexander Salter. He's an economist and a teacher of
economics at Texas Tech, and he's going to make the
case that as progressives try to claim that they're the
true protectors of Americans' freedoms, he's going to be like

that anyways. But the fact that you didn't have time
to let anything develop, and none of the receivers were
breaking tackles every single time they got even arm tackle on.
