Speaker 3 (00:15):
Got stay ken, the nicety free, Andy Connall, Keith Sad Bab, Welcome, Local, Welcome.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
To a Friday edition of the show Altogether. Now woo,
that's right. That voice you hear over there with me
Mandy Connell is Grant Smith a rod worked the early shift,
so now he gets to go home and take a
nap before his fourteen other jobs this weekend. And Grant,
do you have fourteen other jobs this weekend? What are
your responsibilities for the Broncos game this weekend? Yes, I

(00:50):
had to have two jobs this weekend. I've got Willie
B's car show. I'm running the remote for that, and
then on Sunday I'll be here all day for Broncos coverage.
I didn't know Willie Beast car show was this weekend.
They usually tell us a new one. I think, well, yeah,
I know they had to move it obviously because a
band of bear closing.

Speaker 5 (01:08):
Yeah, it's in severance. But I'll be here at the
station so I don't have to worry about it. Okay,
there he goes, there you go.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
I can someone text the Common Spirit Health text line
with where Severance is and if you live in Severance,
I am deeply sorry. I want to say. It's that way,
like that way, in that general direction. You can see
where Mandy.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
She generally waving my arm to the northern parts.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
Someone told me when.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
I was doing this, but then I let it go
in here one year and out the other because it
doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
It's it's hard when I mean a granted, I've been
here thirteen years, you guys, but it's hard when you're
not from someplace like I could probably tell you where
every town in Florida is, and I'm not exaggerating. I
can tell you where towns in Florida are that nobody
else knows where they are because I'm from there and
I spent my entire childhood driving all over the state
with my parents, and then continue that in college. But

(02:02):
here I still have not been everywhere. Have you been
to the four Corners part yet? Have you checked off
that box? No, I've heard from people it's slightly anti climactic.
I've been over to where over there Palisade. Yeah, I
haven't been there yet. I've heard it's beautiful. Yeah, yeah,
we keep talking about it going in the summer, but
then we never actually do it for some reason.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
Go in the summer and get do the wine tour
where you can bike to all the different wineries.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
I made my husband bike for twenty miles on my
forty ninth birthday through Europe, and since we're still married,
after that, I promised him I would never make him
do that again. It's west of Eton. Okay. That's not
as helpful as you might think. Don't actually know where
Eaton is either. This is obviously a part of a

(02:50):
state where my geographical knowledge is lacking. Northwest of Windsor, Okay.
I know where Windsor is. Now we're talking. Now, we
are talking. Severance is the home of the rocky Mountain Oyster.
It's north of Greeley, north from here Hesta. Okay, Now
I know where I'm going. I see, I was right.
I waved my arm in that general direction, and I

(03:11):
was correct. It was just that it's up there.

Speaker 6 (03:13):
Grant.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
Your internal guidance system was not failing yet today, not
at all.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
Okay, guys, it has been a rough couple of days,
So let's jump into the blog and find out what's happening,
because today we are gonna be light as a feather,
so light that yes, they caught the kid who shot
Charlie Kirk, but I don't care today. All of the information,
all the data is going to be there on Monday.

(03:38):
I got a couple of other interviews scheduled for Monday already
that we rescheduled from the past two days. I am
exhausted from it, and I'm sure you are too. So
let's hit the blog at mandy'sblog dot com. That's mandy'sblog
dot com. Look for the headline in the latest post
section called this says nine to twelve twenty five blog

(03:59):
dumb stuff for most of today. Click on that and
here are the headlines you will find within.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
I didn't do with some office half of American all
with ships and clipmas and say that's going to press plans.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
Well today on the blood. I love you guys so much.
Trump says they caught the guy. There's a memorial here
locally for Charlie Kirk. Rich Guggenheim is fighting for free speech.
Please continue to lift these kids up with prayers. JK
Rowling speaks the truth Trump's policies are headed to the
Supremes planning to do some leaf paving. Why are so

(04:30):
many teachers celebrating Kirk's death? The National Guard is heading
to Memphis. Beans, Beans, good for your heart? How the
legislature made evictions rise? About attention spans and now the
right way to handle kids on planes? I love the
kifness even more now a little pharmacist humor Irene is
my idol. Charlie Kirk was precient the art of catching

(04:52):
the home run. The Internet is shocked by homecoming dresses.
The Colorado Libertarian Party wants Scripto Lorena Garcia to step down.
Those are the headlines on the blog at mandy'sblog dot com.
And as you all know by now, they caught the
twenty two year old suspect in the shooting of Charlie Kirk.
I am not even engaging just yet. There's a lot

(05:14):
of stuff flying around on the internet. In the next
few days we'll have a better view of who he is.
This is what I think I know about him. He
is the son of a longtime Shriffs deputy. And he
wrote like, I mean, Grant, are you a gamer? Do
you game? And doesn't it seem like that's like gamer

(05:35):
taunt stuff that he wrote on the cartridges and the
AMMO if you've seen it, I mean, it's just it's
it's the kind of stuff you'd hear your kids say
to someone else they were playing an online game with.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
Honestly, I have not watched the video. I have not
looked into it.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
Don't watch the video. I'm just discussing, don't watch the video,
don't do it. I can't get it out of my head.
But anyway, we'll talk about it on Monday. So today, yesterday,
I went on the internet and I you know, I
have a lot of followers on Facebook, and I have

(06:10):
a lot of followers on x and I appreciate each
and every one of you. And I posted the following post.
After this awful couple of days, tomorrow's show will be
full of fluff and nonsense. I'm starting a topics list,
and here's what I've got so far. Number one words
you can never spell right the first time. That's our
first topic of the day. Number two messed up song lyrics?

(06:35):
What song lyrics did you sing for a very long
time before you realize you were singing them wrong? Number
three things that get stuck in your teeth. And then
I said, please drop your your stupid topic suggestions below.
And boy, howdy did you guys deliver? You just delivered.

(06:56):
And I'm so grateful for you. I'm just I'm so
grateful for this audience. It's not even funny. So grant,
we're adding to the list. What's the worst casserole you
ever had? I feel like that is a strong contender.
Things you accidentally put in the refrigerator instead of the cabinet.
You know what I mean? Have you ever done that
where you have like you're making a sandwich and you

(07:16):
got the milk and the bread and the sandwich stuff
like the mayo and the sandwich me and everything, and
then you end up putting the bread in the fridge
and the milk in the cabin.

Speaker 5 (07:24):
I got home from work the other night at my wife,
who's great, had made us burgers on our new grill,
and I look in the fridge. I'm like, what in
the hell are the buns doing in the fridge.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
She's like, my hands were full. I didn't know what
to do.

Speaker 5 (07:35):
I freaked out. I just put everything in there. I
forgot to get about So yes, that happens.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
All the time. What's funny about that is people in
the South leave their bread in the fridge and I
don't get it.

Speaker 5 (07:44):
I don't understand me in college, it just drives, it
just dries it out. Yeah, there's no point, you know.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
Well, it's weird because I ripped open a box of
crackers over there. Because one of our sales guys, Joel,
he has what we call Joel's bodega, or he just
brings in snow and he's got like, yeah, well now
it's Joel's coffee bar. He's rebranded, so Joel always there's
always snacks over by Jel's desk. And I ripped open
a bag of crackers and I did a horrible job.

(08:11):
It was one of those where I'm I've got the
two center things and I'm pulling and the entire bag
just rips it, you know, all the way down one
side kind of thing. And I was like, dang it.
And then I thought, you're not in Florida anymore, Mandy,
Because in Florida, let me tell you what happens. You
get a bag of ships. Let me just give you
a little window to the world is living in high humidity.
You get a bag of ships, like you know what
I mean, just a regular bag of ships, bag of ruffles,

(08:32):
bag of lays, whatever. You open that bag and you
lay it on the counter. If you leave it open
for five hours, you come back and those chips are
almost damp and they are no good. So there, you
can leave your bread open for forever because it will
not get dry. Here, you don't tie the twist tie

(08:53):
fast enough, and your entire loaf is as hard as
a rocket, like four minutes, right, You got to you
gotta protect it. So yeah, I don't. That's the kind
of stuff we're talking about today.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
So I want to.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
I want to go to my Facebook page because I
asked and you guys delivered, and boy did I get
some stunningly good suggestions. Grant, what type of things do
you put in your kitchen junk drawer? What's in your
junk draw right now? And oh you have one? Now
you're a homeowner.

Speaker 5 (09:20):
Every holme owner has pens, batteries, posted notes, zip ties.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
Well what about I mean, where do you keep your
birthday candles? They got to go in there. Well, that's
because you don't have kids. When you have kids, you
always have birthday candles random, never enough matching. But they're
and then but the twist ties that you've taken off
other things, right, and you gotta put those in there
because you're going to need one exactly. I also have
a sharpie in my junk drawer, a couple of those.

(09:48):
I have one of those long lighter things you know
that you use, like the long lighter for the fireplace
kind of thing. A couple of random coins from another
country in our in there. But here's the thing. I've
got so many drawers in my kitchen. I have two
drawers that could be considered junk draws, but the other
one is more specific. That's where the knife sharpening stuff goes,

(10:12):
you know, like the whatever it's called the stone wet stone.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
Oh, you got to get some cutcos and they sharpen
them for you. I have multiple knife sharpeners. You just
ship them off and they ship them back to you.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Well, there's a guy at the Parker's Farmer's Market where
you can just take your knives to the Parker's Farmer's
Market and he'll do them right there while you wander
around and buy overpriced vegetables. Farmer's markets. When I was
a kid, you went there because they were a deal right, Like,
you go there because they were cheaper. I am now
priced out the produce at my farmer's market and then
priced it out at King Soupers. And by the way,

(10:43):
the produce at King Supers is labeled from Colorado, right,
so you're getting Colorado and it's like a buck cheaper.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
See what you have to do at the farmers market
is fine? The one stand that has to fill your
own bag.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
Yeah, but that's still fifteen bucks. Oh ours is ten?
Oh no, it's fifteen buck Parker. That's what I'm saying.
And you like, think about it. So what are you
gonna put in there? Five years of corn? No, you
gotta go with the small. Then you have to strategize,
like what things can I cram into this bag so
I can get my fifteen bucks worth and not feel
like I'm overspending. Uh Mandy, If you don't put a

(11:17):
Zekiel bread in the fridge, it will mold in a
day or two. See you healthy bread people? What is
a ze o? It's healthy bread? Sounds gross? Well yeah
it is. I Mean the closest I'm getting to a
healthy bread is Dave's Killer Bread. He tried that. Oh
this this guy's got an electrical circuit tester in his
junk drawer, mandy junk drawer, measuring tape, scotch tape, Flora

(11:40):
food packs same.

Speaker 5 (11:42):
I have all of those things as well. We also
have our meat thermometer in there.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
My meat thermometer is in the different utensil drawer that's
nearer to my cook top. And I have how many?
You probably only have one meat thermometer, don't you? We do.
I can kill you. I can kill a thermometer almost
as fast as I can kill a wristwatch. And uh,
we all know about your wristwatch. I'm telling you I

(12:07):
can't do it. That's why I have to wear a
fitness tracker. It's the only thing that stays Parker equals wealthy.
Rest of us not wealthy. Well, Parker's Farmer's Market certainly
thinks that you're wealthy. Just saying severance Where geese fly
and bulls cry. What to Bruce is about a month ago,
Rocky Mountain Oysters during college at CSU in the early nineties,

(12:28):
about twenty miles west of Fort Collins. That's where the
event is Bruce's Bar. Oh there you go. Oh well,
then well you won't be able to enjoy the delicious
bull testicles. Have you ever had them?

Speaker 5 (12:38):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (12:39):
Yeah, oh yeah, I've had them. I will say I
think that the Buckhorn Exchange has the best Rocky Mountain
oysters that I've had. The Fort has really good Rocky
Mountain oysters. And I've never had them from Bruce's because
I've never been.

Speaker 5 (12:52):
To Severance apparently didn't even know where it was and
no clue.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
I mean maybe I've been there and I just didn't know.
I had no idea.

Speaker 5 (12:58):
I had them once at this bar in Netherland, and
I don't know if I'll ever need to try them again.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
You know, they're like anything else that's fried. You know,
is there really anything bad that's fried? You fry something
and it becomes like, ah, you know, it might not
be my favorite thing, but it's palatable. And it was
an old Bay seasoning, so like, oh, there you go,
there you go. This person has glasses, readers and sunscreen,
a box of funky flames. What are funky flames? What

(13:24):
is that? Dog nail clippers in my junk drawer. I
have locks that I don't have a key and keys
that don't have locks. Now, in my mind, text her,
you need to clean out your junk drawer and do
a little you know, it's kind of like you have
that you have that once a year tupperware lid matchup situation.
Now I have a teenager, so like once a year

(13:45):
I say to my daughter, I'm like, you got to
go in there and match them all that tupperware and
if it doesn't have a lid, it gets tossed, right,
And every year she does it, and within like two days,
I'm like, there, well, here's a tupperware without a lid
on it. And I've watched her, by the way, grant,
I've watched her take all of the tupperware out, put
all of the lids on it. I've watched her organize it.
I've watched her put it back in the cabinet, and

(14:06):
yet always the one that I pick no lid.

Speaker 5 (14:09):
See, that was the most satisfying part of our recent
move was game rid of everything that didn't have a lid.
And now everything matches, at least for now. We'll see
how long that lasts.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
I have a double tupperware situation. I have my formal
tupperware that I use for my family, right, and then
I have the collection of Chinese food containers and takeout that.
When someone comes over and we're having dinner, that's when
I send them home, right exactly. Touchless thermometers for fevers. Oh,
that's in their junk drawer. Lamb oysters. That bruces are

(14:43):
better than the beef ones. Huh, I'm intrigued. We have
restaurant menus in our drawer. We have a drawer just
for restaurant menus. Dan, we have it has its own drawer. Oh,
put that in the menu drawer right over there, Mandy,
my wife saves the rubber bands from the asparagus in
our drawer. Makes me crazy. She's probably listening and knows
who she is. You know what, I'm just gonna have

(15:04):
your wife's back here. Those rubber bands on asparagus are good.
They're heavy duty, thick rubber bands. Your wife is smart,
and I hope she heard that. Funky flames are an
additive that you put in a campfire that changes the
color of the flames. Oh, there you go, there you go.
I like my fire original I do too. I'm a

(15:27):
fire purist, much like I'm a Pumpkins spice person. Mandy.
Junk drawer, eclipse glasses, magnifying glass wait a minute, just
updated here a clipse draw a glasses, magnifying glass, idea
of skewing roller? What is that? What is an idea
of scaring roller?

Speaker 5 (15:50):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (15:50):
Mandy? Plethora of different adhesives ranging from Elmer's glue to
super industrial strength to POxy and everything in between. Well,
you got that's where you keep your super glue too, right,
the little tube of super glue that you bought thinking
to yourself, here, look, I'm gonna buy this little tub
of super glue. It's gonna last forever because you don't
need that super glue very often, right, And you you
use it once and then the lid becomes permanently affixed

(16:11):
to it and you have to throw it away and
get another one. That is like the biggest glue racket
in the history of blue rackets.

Speaker 5 (16:17):
See, that's why you have those gloves that you can
grip anything with also in your drunk drawer. Oh and
then you just twisted as hard.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
What are these gloves?

Speaker 5 (16:25):
Then you're talking like that different like texture time, so
you can really get a good grip on it.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
I had no idea. I need to know because I
will tell you grant you know. Here's I'm here for you, Grant.
I'm gonna tell you the things that happen to you
as you get older that no one prepares you for.
By grip strength has gone from pretty impressive to oh
my god, I can't open anything in a very short
amount of time.

Speaker 7 (16:49):
See.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
I've always prided myself on being able to open things.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
Oh yeah, because I guy, are you youthful? Yeah, you're confident. Yeah,
oh yeah, You're like, give me that jar, I got it.
And then all of a sudden, like late forties, you're like,
can somebody else open this jar for me? And you
start buying things that are supposed to help you open jars.
The first time you buy when you're like, oh, give
this a try. Second time you're like, geez I hope

(17:15):
this one works. Third time you're like, dang it, I may.

Speaker 5 (17:19):
Never be able to buying that the top of the
that's what I am. Yeah, that's been effective. No really, yeah,
I don't like them.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
You just have to torque it. Well, that's because you
can still open it with your hands, exactly your man hands. Mandy.
We have matches, stamps, magnifying glass, ruler, and about twenty
rolls of tape in our junk drawer. Uh, Mandy, unused
gift cards? Why why can I just say this, I'm
okay text or I'm not trying to bust your chops.

(17:46):
But let me tell you a story. So my nana
was old for a while and and impossible to buy
gifts four for Christmas, right, just impossible. So we started
buying her gift cards to her favorite places like bob
Evans and waffle House and the stores that she liked
to shop in, so she could go and pick out

(18:07):
whatever she wanted. Fast forward, you know, several years, my
nana passes away and we are going through her house
and I found a drawer of unused gift cards at
my nana's house. She had never used a single one
because in her mind, a gift card was like a
coupon and she didn't want to be seen as cheap.

(18:29):
And I'm like, I might have shaken my fist at
the sky on that one, because honestly, I was like, Nana,
you could have given him to us. We want to
ta get him. Phone chargers are in their two grant.
Just borrow someone's toddler when you need to open something difficult.
That's true, Mandy. An idea obscuring roller is a tool

(18:52):
that you can run over your name or address on
junk mail to obscure it before tossing it. Do people
still do that? Because I don't. I mean, now, you guys,
nobody's rifling through our trash anymore. They're rifling through our internet. Yeah,
they got graduated. They don't. They don't need to do
that anymore. So, Okay, here's what we're gonna do. We're
gonna take a quick time out. We're switching topics because

(19:13):
I think we've we've run the the You know this
is the kind of show it's going to be today, guys.
I'm just letting you know it's gonna be fluff. When
we get back words you cannot spell right the first time,
We'll be right back after this. I asked the question,
what word can you not spell the first time without
getting it wrong? And you are delivering once again. You

(19:35):
can text us on the Common Spirit Health text line
at five six six nine, Oh Mandy, which meaning w
H I c H. For whatever reason, I always want
to add a T, and as soon as I do,
I curse. That might be the only one for which
I consistently screw up. For me, the word receipt. I

(19:55):
never spell the word receipt right up. But the eye
before the ear or the E before the eye, whichever's wrong.
I do that for see.

Speaker 5 (20:00):
Yeah, I was gonna waiting for you to ask me.
But mine is receive, receive similar eye before you that
whole eye before you.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
Think that's a racket, you guys. I just had to
look it up just to make sure it's not consistent.
It's eye before e accepting all of these other words
we got lied to about that, Mandy, I can't spell
inconvenience the first time. Thank god for autocorrect. Do you
ever spell words so badly? Your Autocorrect's like, yeah, I
got nothing. I have no idea what we're trying to

(20:27):
say here? Oh yeah, nothing at all.

Speaker 5 (20:30):
Another one for me, restaurant restorrant to tau Do you
forget the au in there?

Speaker 4 (20:38):
I think I started. I think I go R E
S t U. There you go. You just skip that
A get a tar like taurus rest tarrant words diarrhea
one hundred percent. I'm with you on that one. I
already said mine earlier. Hemorrhage. Hemorrhage is like, where are
there two rs? Is there two ges someone's doubled up
there and I don't know what it is. Is there
a random h like in the end part? And I'll

(21:02):
say this, you guys, I'm a pretty good speller. Me too.
I'm a very good speller until I got beaten by
Randall Murdoch, my nemesis in elementary school. She was a
super speller. Yeah, you're younger than me and beat me. Yeah,
he turned into a real loser, went to Harvard, Yale
and all that stuff and is a high powered attorney

(21:23):
in New York City. Yeah, he's my my rival as
a chemist. Now, so you know what, at least our
rivals are not losers grants. You know what I'm saying. Like,
if I looked up in my rival was like he
lives under a bridge, I would be like, no, So
it's nice that my rival turned out quite well. I
cannot spell renaissance, says this person. That isn't that's challenging,

(21:43):
that that is challenging. Mandy a cheerleader. I'm shocked. Why
would you be shocked. I am a delight. I was
very popular in high school. I know, I know, but
I think I was popular because I was nice to everyone.
Here's a fun fact, Grant, I just read this study
that was done on popular kids right in high school.

(22:03):
Someone actually went and did a full study on what
makes kids popular in high school? Do you know what
the number one trait for the most popular kids in
high school was? What do you think it was? Well,
I'm going to guess what you just said, be nice
to everybody. More than that, the kids who said they
liked the most people were the most popular. So genuinely,

(22:25):
if you just like people, you just liked everyone, the
chances are you are going to be popular. I just
thought that was super interesting. I can see that.

Speaker 5 (22:33):
I mean because I ran with all the people that
played sports, because I played all the sports, so you know,
kind of the jock crowd.

Speaker 4 (22:39):
But I was one that would talk to everyone.

Speaker 5 (22:41):
I mean, I got most of my musical influence was
from this weird kid that would burn me CDs.

Speaker 4 (22:46):
There you go, we all need the weird kid to
burn us CDs back when that was the thing anymore. Yeah,
Now they make you a playlist, right, is that what
they do now? Mandy dessert or desert one has two
s's one has one, but dessert is also one. Not dessert.
Desert dessert never mind. I can't spill lasdexia. Haha, dyslexia.

(23:11):
I was taught E except after C, I before E,
except after C. Yeah, but that's a lie. It's a lie,
you guys. It's a lie. No weird weird, Yes, after
C except after it is EI? Right, weird, Yes before
E except after C except weird no weird is right?
And other ones right. Oh gosh, Now I'm confused. Mandy acknowledgement.

(23:35):
That's a hard one. Sweet versus sweat. I always screw
that one up. What was the oldest or expensive alcohol
you've had. We've had a taste of some wine and
napa over the weekend from nineteen seventy five, and the
bottle cells for six hundred and eighty dollars. I had
a glass of brandy, a Napoleon Brandy something something something.

(23:58):
I was not paying for it. It was back in
nineteen ninety eight. It was two hundred and seventy five
dollars a glass for that Brandy. Again, I did not
pay for that. I would not have paid for that.
I don't even really like brandy, But I mean, come on,
wouldn't you wouldn't you try it if you had the
opportunity refrigerator. I always try to add a D me too,

(24:22):
text her, because when you write fridge, there's a D right,
and fridge is short for refrigerator, So why isn't there
a D in refrigerator?

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Colonel?

Speaker 4 (24:31):
That's another one. Did you know I'm a Kentucky Colonel Grant?
I don't even know what that means. That means it's
an honorarium in Kentucky when they name you a Kentucky
Colonel and you are a part of the Kentucky Colonel Society,
and you get a personalized license plate and everything you
got free KFC as well. No, I asked, They said no,

(24:51):
which is probably why I've never actually unfurled the you know,
the proclamation that I have. Anyway, Mandy, my lovely wife
has corrupted her CrOx so completely that my family wears
clothes instead of clothes. Okay, that's funny, Mandy, thoroughly. I
can never get it right. Spell Check doesn't recognize. I
had to talk to text it. Mandy. My word is aluminium,

(25:14):
and I started saying it wrong in my head, and
it's all over our luminium. That's how the Brits say it,
and that's how it's spelled aluminium. How about this one.

Speaker 5 (25:24):
I can never tell the difference between effect and effect,
even when it's explained.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
To me A or E. That is challenging.

Speaker 5 (25:30):
I still struggle. I avoid that word because I never
know if I'm using that.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
I have that and insure and ensure you know what
I mean. I'm going to ensure that someone doesn't Probably,
how do you spell that? Is that? E? N? I end?
What are we doing? What are we doing? My word
is canceled from dan. I think you've spelled that wrong.
Vacuum gets me every time. Vacuum, vacuum, vacuum availability. Got

(25:57):
that one. Thought calendar was spelled d R until glad
to start making them for work. Very confused by the
spell checker, Mandy. Referral referring referred refer u I before
E except after C or sounding as a as in

(26:17):
neighbor or way. But weird doesn't sound like either of
those things. Rhythm rhythm, Hey, Mandy. Speaking of high school,
I graduated with Representative Lorraina Garcia. What's she up to
these days? That from Cletus Cletus. We're gonna talk about
that on Monday, because I'm done talking about the nastiness

(26:40):
this week. I truly am coming up, by the way,
in the three o'clock hour, we do three o'clock hour.
In the two o'clock hour, we are going to talk
first with Heidiganal. There is a local memorial service that
is happening on Sunday to honor Charlie Kirk, and Rich
Guggenheim is going to pop in at two thirty. He's
currently two and zero in of the day and he's

(27:00):
coming in because he just testified before the Tenth Circuit
Court of Appeals and you're gonna want to hear about that.
But in the meantime, more of this narcissist is hard
for me, not that I use it often, just for
my ex. Well, why don't you just change the word
narcissist to your ex's name and let's say his name
is Bob, And then you could say to your friends

(27:21):
who are being self centered, you could say, stop being
such a bob oh, And they're like, I don't get it.
You're like, Bob equals narcissist, right, just adopt that. It's fine.
I confess does third person of do? And does third
person of do? And dose?

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Dose?

Speaker 4 (27:38):
Uh? What eye? Before he is disproved by science. I'm
telling you that was such a lie, such a lie.
Separate and separate, Mandy maintenance. Also, the desert desert memory
trick is their sand in the desert, and strawberry shortcake
is a dessert to s's I like that. I like

(28:01):
it a lot. Uh, dyslexia sufferer, wait a minute to
try that again, dyslexia sufferers, Untie, that's funny, Mandy conscious
consciousness had to auto correct them here, Mandy search for
Brian Reagan's spelling be cracks me up. We'll do that.
When in high school and taking French, submitted a paper

(28:22):
in English literature class with the word dance spelled domes
embarrassing fancy. I mean, that's just it does look fancy,
and I would have been like, well, I thought I
would doll up the joint with some fancy language. Guard
is it ga or gu gu gu ar d? Who
paid for your expensive glass of brandy? Y'all? This is

(28:45):
such a good story that I'm gonna share it with you.
I was asked to go on a blind date so
this blind date person would not be the third wheel
with this other couple. Just mayhem ensued, that's coming up
now next. So I was waiting tables. My first five
years in radio had two jumps. So I was waiting

(29:06):
tables at Long Orange Steakhouse. I still love Long Orange
Steakhouse to this day. And a friend of mine was
dating this guy, Kevin. He was like ten years older
than she is. He was a cop, great guy. She
was a bubbleheaded idiot. Okay, but they were dating. And
Kevin says, look, my buddy who's in the Navy is
flying down from Pensacola, and we want to go to

(29:26):
this really, really nice restaurant in Orlando that I really
wanted to go to Manuel's on the twenty eighth. Never
been there before, super nice restaurant. And hey, I don't
want him to be the third wheel, So would you
go and be his blind date? And I'm like eating
at Manuel's. Sign me up. So the night of the date.
Now this's before cell phones, you guys. So this is,

(29:47):
you know, back in olden times. And I'm at my
house and I'm waiting for them to come get me.
And I got a call from Kevin. He says, look
my buddy's plane. He was flying down in his own
plane from Pensacole. Got grounded in Gainesville because of the fog.
He's stuck there now. But we're gonna come get you.
And he's gonna meet us at the restaurant. So great.
I go to the restaurant. They pick me up. We
go to the restaurant, We're all dressed up. We wait,

(30:09):
we wait. There's a phone call at the restaurant. Guy
says I can't get there. So now I'm the third
wheel on the date. In the fancy restaurant, I ordered
the lobster bisk grant and they bring out for the
lobster biss this beautiful bowl, right, a lovely bowl, and
inside the bowl there's this giant lobster claw already taken

(30:30):
out of the shell. It's drizzled with crim fresh And
then they bring out the picture of the lobster biscuit
and they pour it in there and it's all there
in fantasy and it's just it's amazing. And then I
go to cut the lobster claw because it was really big,
with my spoon and managed to flip it into my lap.
By this point, the extremely gay waiter who was waiting

(30:51):
on us, excellent waiter, he has found out that I've
been stood up by a blind date that I've never
met and don't care the least bit about. And he
has determined that he is going to find another man
in that restaurant that I should date. So he's pointing
out regulars like the owner of the ABC liquor franchise,
very very wealthy guy. I was like, no, I'm not
doing this. I don't want to just randomly be fixed
up with somebody at Manuel's on the twenty eighth. But Kevin,

(31:14):
the date of the bubbleheaded girl that I work with,
we were both kind of gastronomes and we loved the meal.
We had multiple courses and all of this stuff, and
his date was like, I'll just have the chicken. I
don't like any of the things on the bed you
And at the end of the meal, Kevin looks at
me and goes, you want to try some obscenely expensive
brandy and I said, yes, I do, and Kevin picked

(31:35):
up the tab and after that meal he broke up
with the other girl because he was like, she's not
I can't with that. But that's how I got here's
the thing. I got to have a two hundred and
seventy five dollar glass of brandy with no expectation of
anyone trying to have sex with me. It was the
best night of my life. It was absolutely fantastic, just great. Anyway,

(32:00):
just when I just when you came on, I heard
you talk about spelling. I had to go for an appointment.
I hope I'm not too late. But I have two
buttons I wear on my jean jacket. I can't spell
worth a shirt and bad spellers. Untie. Oh, this texter said, Mandy,
you sure have a lot of stories. I love it.
You people have just begun to scratch the surface. When

(32:20):
we get back moving on, the most annoying things get
stuck in your teeth. Ladies and gentlemen. Text us five
sixty sixth I Oh.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
The nicey us through three Bandy Connell keeping sad bab Welcome, Welcome,
Welcome to the second hour of the show.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
If you're just joining us in your car, whatever, flipping
it on, we are not talking about anything serious. Yes,
they have captured a suspect in the Charlie kirk Killing.
There's a information coming out about him. We'll have plenty
of time to talk about that on Monday. Okay, I'm
tired the last two days. I feel I feel like
a dish towel that's been wrung out, you know what

(33:20):
I mean, Like I just I So we're doing dumb
stuff today. And I'd like to point out that so
many of you in the listening audience, after I told
you the story of how I got to have that
two hundred and seventy five dollars glass of brandy, so
many of you cliphanger, Did Mandy date Kevin or anything?
Did Mandy hook up with Kevin? No, there's no hooking

(33:43):
up there. He was a really really good guy, really
really good guy. But I still worked with a girl
at the restaurant. That would have been weird, and he
wasn't my type anyway, just at that point I no, No,
we remained friends and I enjoyed the Brandy. Somebody said,
how was the brandy? Mandy? I'm not a Brandy fan,
but I will tell you it was some of the

(34:04):
smoothest alcoholic beverage I have ever sipped in my life.
When you're just drinking straight anything. You know, you get
that like, you know, whoo, Okay, think I've ever had brandy.
I've had brandy since and I think maybe I ruined
myself by having the two hundred and seventy five dollars brandy.
After that, I'm like, what are we doing in this glass?

(34:26):
It's got sugar. I eh, it's not my thing. I
don't love it. I think that's what they drink on
Frasier of course, because it's bougie and you're supposed to
be like fancy people, you know, not me. Then I'm
asking the biting question things that get gotten your teeth? Okay?
And I have to explain something about this topic because
there's a bigger story to it. So I got another story, Texter.

(34:51):
And when I first started in radio, I've mentioned the
fact that I started out as a producer on an
overnight show on a hot talk station, and it was
why I mean, it was some of the stuff that
we did, you guys, you I can't even tell you
some of the things that we did on the radio
because we were in Safe Harbor between ten pm and

(35:11):
six am. Radio is still anything goes. Some of the
things that we did were so outrageous that I can't
share them with you in this day part because I
would probably get fired for even telling you what they were. Okay,
but it was the most fun I have ever had
at any job. It was an absolute blast until it wasn't.

(35:35):
We moved to evenings. We got another guy who's one
of the most talented people that I've ever worked with
in my life. But the relationship soured between the host
and I and not because of me, and it ended
on an extremely bad note that almost ended with lawsuit,
but I got into They gave me a different job
so I didn't sue, and I have had, for gosh,

(35:58):
twenty five years, a tremendous amount of animosity towards that host. Now,
over those twenty five years, I've gone from blinding hatred
and I do mean blinding hatred, to being able to
be a little more circumspect about the situation. And as
my belief system has evolved, I now view our time
on Earth as a as a classroom, not a courtroom.

(36:20):
And so I look back at that, I was like, Okay,
what am I supposed to learn from this situation? And
I learned a lot. I learned how not to treat
a radio producer, and I think, Grant, I think that
shows in how I work with you guys, that not
only do I understand your job, but I want to
support you guys in your job and in your endeavors
and all of that stuff. Yeah, because I was not

(36:41):
treated that way at all, I mean not even remotely,
and a lot of hosts still don't treat it well
because well, there's just there's some healthy egos in this industry.
Let's just say that understatement. I'm just saying, but I
had sort of worked through a lot of those and
a few weeks ago, this guy, this host, he's still

(37:04):
on the radio, he's in Tampa. He actually tagged me
in a lengthy Instagram post, and in that Instagram post
he said something to the effect of I had this
amazing producer at Mandy Connell and she left under really
horrible circumstances. And that was the first time he'd ever
acknowledged that he had been horrible to me. And so

(37:25):
I was like, oh, well, that was actually very nice.
Because I also believe in a redemption. I believe that
people should be allowed to give, to be given the
opportunity to redeem themselves. Now that doesn't mean that you
forget everything they've done in the past and all that.
It just means that people have to be allowed to
try and grow and be better. It's one of the
reasons that I prefer a rehabilitation of inmates rather than

(37:49):
just punishment. Now, punishment is important, but I want to
make sure that when people are getting out of prison,
they have an opportunity to not reoffend again. But back
to the story. So every night we would sit down
at like eleven o'clock and we would try and come
up with ten topics for the show. It was nothing
like this show. I mean nothing. It was all stupidity

(38:12):
and nonsense, and we did a lot of relationship talk.
It was just a really silly, ridiculous five hour show
in the middle of the night. And every night we
would sit down and write our ten topics, and when
we ran out of stuff to say, we'd get like
seven topics. We would always be like number eight, things
that get stuck in your teeth, and that would always
be on the list things that get stuck in your teeth.
And when we never did things to get stuck in

(38:33):
your teeth. Well after the nice mention in the Instagram page,
and me going, you know what, I would be okay
with this beef being over. I sent him a message
this morning and said, first of all, I appreciate that message.
It mattered. And second of all, after twenty years of
having my own show and doing political talk for twenty years,

(38:56):
after the last two days of death and destruction, today's
top things that get stuck in your teeth. And he
sent me.

Speaker 8 (39:04):
Back the nicest message that was full of what I
believe to be genuine apologies for his behavior and genuine
contrition for the way.

Speaker 4 (39:21):
He behaved and the way that he treated me. And
you know, years ago, my mom said to me once
she goes, you know, the notion of closure is a lie.
You know, in TV shows, like everybody gets closure, you know,
somebody gets their heart broken, but at the end of
the episode, the person who broke their heart comes back
and he's like, look, I never meant to hurt you.

(39:41):
And then they're like, oh, it's okay. That doesn't happen
in real life. You don't get the apology from the
person who really needs to apologize from you. You know,
you don't get that I'm so sorry I broke your heart.
That's not how real life works, and I just wanted
to let you know, like, if you, at some point
in your life twenty five years years ago have hurt someone,

(40:02):
it is never too late to apologize, Because I got
to tell you that apology landed with me. That entire experience,
the personal aspects of it, the professional aspects of it.
It was a soul scarring experience. And I think everybody
has had their own version of soul scarring experiences, and luckily,
I thank god as often as possible that I have

(40:23):
not had that many. I mean, I have friends that
have had one soul scarring experience after another, and I've
been genuinely pretty lucky to get over the things that
have happened because they weren't soul scarring. But that was
one of those sort of life defining events in my life.
And to have someone actually come later and say, boy,
was I wrong, and I am deeply sorry, it was

(40:44):
just it was very impactful, even though Charles Harrington Elster
is wagging his finger because I just used the word impactful.
But you know, don't wait. I mean, the apology will
I hope be welcome. Maybe you're not going to be like,
We're not going to be besties. You know, we're not
gonna hang out raid each other's hair, but boy, that

(41:05):
was it was refreshing, very very refreshing. Oh uh, Fraser
and Niles drink sherry Sherry. I saw that text, I responded, Yeah, yeah, Mandy,
when you're that age, he doesn't have to be your type.
A hookup as a hookup. And you know, you know
what's funny is, physically, I don't really have a type

(41:25):
other than bald. Like, if you're bald, you definitely have
a better chance of dating me. But I don't physically
have a type. I have a personality type, and Chuck
is like the like, the the alpha of that personality type.
And he makes me laugh so hard, so so hard. Anyway,

(41:48):
let's go, Kathy Lee ran Sixteenth Street naked? What I'm
not doing that? When did that happen?

Speaker 5 (41:55):
I'm not doing that back in the glory days of
radio Oh man, I I really cannot you guys.

Speaker 4 (42:02):
I'll tell you, Okay, in the next break, Grant, I'm
gonna tell you the single wildest thing that happened on
this show, and then you can help me come up
with a way to translate that story into an FCC
friendly package. That I can share on this radio show
because honestly, like we okay, it was this kind of show. Right,

(42:25):
our studios were on the fourth floor. We had window
first floor, and we had windows that looked out right
under the parking lot. When the bars emptied out at
two o'clock, all of our friends would show up and
they would give the pressed ham against the window, you
know what I'm talking about, pressing their naked buttocks up
against them. So we would look up and there would
be like eight guys with their butts pressed against them.

(42:47):
It was that kind of show, and it was just
the most fun a human being could have, and it
was just wildly creative and just oh so so fun,
so fun. Okay, let's talk about this things that get
caught in your teeth because people are already on board
tip of a toothpick two weeks old. How wait a minute.

(43:11):
If you've got the tip of a toothpick between your
teeth and it's been there for two weeks, how is
that not driving you absolutely insane? That's got to be painful. Now,
how are you not like? No, this is the kind
of thing like when things get caught in my teeth occasionally,
and I'm driving, you know, like, oh somebody actually, I said,
when you grab a fingernail between your teeth and then

(43:32):
it gets stuck, I have to pull off, get the
dental floss which is in my purse. Yes, I carry
dental floss with me at all times and get it
out of my teeth. That would drive me crazy, Absolutely
drive me crazy, Mandy. Teeny tiny blueberry seeds. Yeah, I'm
not doing that. That's not a thing that's happening, hi, Mandy.

(43:52):
Raspberry seeds they hide everywhere. Barbecue pork and any shredded meat,
and speaking of lobster always gets stuck, but worth it.
And now we have the standard things that could cut
in your teeth. Corn on the cob. Of course, when
I eat corn on the cob, I literally have my
floss in my pocket, even at my own dinner table

(44:13):
at home, because number one, I love good corn on
the cob. Like I could eat a meal of nothing
but like four ears of corn on the cob with
butter and salt. That would be perfectly fine. But of
course your teeth are just ugh, it's a mess. After that, Mandy.
The most annoying thing that gets stuck in my teeth corn,
any corn, candy corn, popcorn, boiled corn, grilled corn, street corn.

(44:36):
It's all great. I love corn, yes, even candy corn.
I just don't want it in my teeth. Candy corn is
the devil. It's so gross. No, it's not oho. Here
have some wax and sugar grant little food coloring just
for you know, extra delicious. Mandy, definitely popcorn holes. Got
one stuck for more than a week and scheduled a

(44:58):
dental appointment. Dentist, I didn't find it. It slipped below
the gun line and the curvature of the whole matched
the profile of my tooth. Jay's low wheeze. I've had
that happen my dentist. My dentist in Fort Myers told
me to stop eating popcorn, and I was like, do
I have to find a new dentist. Use that is
not a thing that's going to go on. Just take it, Mandy,

(45:22):
Is there any way to tell a woman you like
that here? Perfume gives you a headache? Kenny and Aurora,
you know what? The old you know what. I so
enjoy your company, but I got to tell you your
perfume affects my allergies. So could you just when we're
hanging out just because I'm having a little bit of
an allergic reaction, and I know it's your perfume because
I think you're fantastic. Try that, and that's a legit concern,

(45:46):
by the way, Mandy, abrupt change of topic. Am I
the one who sees the kirk assass and looks like
Beto of Texas's younger brother. We'll talk about that Monday. Celery, Yeah,
celery strings. You know how long it took me to
get over the texture of celery strings in order to
be able to eat a piece of celery. I'm surprised
you ever got out. And let's be real, celery is

(46:07):
just a stick of crunchy water right with strings like,
That's what celery is. And without something like peanut butter
on it, No, that has a hard stop. Do you
just eat plain celery or you like I used to
have a roommate that would like chew it like a rabbit,
like like just shove the whole thing in her mouth.
Clery wings that I like it, or the blue cheese

(46:30):
that yes, but I'm talking about it's got to have
the blue cheese or the rams.

Speaker 5 (46:33):
I got to have something, yes, Mandy, I have a
food trap.

Speaker 4 (46:38):
Oh dang it. Hang on one second. I gotta get
more responses because this is taking off like a shot
as I knew it will. Let's see, uh, Mandy, it's
raspberry seeds. Can't stand them. I don't eat anything that
is raspberry flavored, even artificially flavored raspberries. Yuck that from Jared.

(47:01):
Let's see, Mandy, is there? Blah blah blah. I dated, well,
lump see that I'm looking here, Mandy. I have a
food trap that I constantly have to pry stuff out of.
I call it my meat tooth. That's so funny because
I called mine my meat pocket. I would tell my dentis,

(47:21):
I'm like, could you get the meat pocket back there?
That is why I bought a what are they called
a uh water pick? Just for the meat pocket. Mandy.
I got a green bean stuck in my throat last week?
What what that's nuts? Let us let us let us
in spinach. They're the ones that hide right in the front, right,
You got that right there? Especially damage. Yeah, one off

(47:44):
to the side. You know what I mean? Flax seed
always grind him. Now see that your problem is you're
eating flax seed. That's that's where you went wrong right there.
I'm just kidding. I don't mind flax seed, but they're
one of those things that you just put in food
to make it healthier. Nobody is ever like yump flat
seeds hooray. No, they're like, ah, they add protein and

(48:06):
some kind of amino acids or whatever. Mandy, on topic
of things getting stuck in your teeth? Do you think
it is okay to tell a complete stranger that they
have something in their teeth? I always find women are
super appreciative when they when you tell them they have
lipstick on their teeth. Not only yes you guys. I
told a man in a restaurant the other day that
his fly was down, and this is all I did.

(48:27):
I just said, sir, your barn door is open, and
he gave me this look like, and then he was like,
thank you. I always appreciate that.

Speaker 5 (48:36):
I like, how could you not appreciate someone like if
you have like a booger hanging out of your nose
or something.

Speaker 4 (48:42):
I don't want to look like. This is when you
get home and see the giant thing in your teeth
and you're like, what I thought? I was among friends?
I was in line at Disney one time. I've done
this twice, two different times. First was a line in Disney.
There was a woman in front of me and we're
just kind of stuck up her butt crack, and I
just I couldn't, I couldn't watch it anymore, and I

(49:05):
just kind of like reached down and I literally pulled
her shorts out of her butt crack and got away
with it. Picked her wedgie for that, well, I mean
I didn't pick it out. I grabbed the cuff of
her shorts and when she stepped forward, look look, how
look how crafty this was, grant. She I waited. I
just grabbed the cuff, waited for her to step forward.

(49:25):
When she stepped forward, I held onto the cuff just
long enough so the shorts would come out of her
butt crack, and then I let go.

Speaker 6 (49:32):
She had.

Speaker 4 (49:33):
Wait a minute. Here's the second time. The second time,
I'm standing on a street corner in Orlando and there's
a gentleman in front of me, a bit shorter than
I am, kind of heavy set. His khakis are full on,
just jacked up there like you could. You don't even
know where they were, they were so far up there.
And I was like I'm like a master at this.
I can totally do it. I can absolutely make this happen.
I am practically a superhero flying around the country taking

(49:57):
people's shorts and pants out of their butt crack. I
really so. I reach over and I try and grab
his pants. He turns around and looks me. It's Lou Pearlman,
the guy who had all the boy bands. And I
was like, oh my god, you're Lou Pearlman. And he
looked at me, and I was Liker, your pants are
never mind. So my career as a butt crack reliever

(50:19):
was over as soon as it got started. Completely. Mandy.
My teeth are so close even yogurt gets stuck in
my teeth. Floss bows are my second best friend to
my husband, who's a dentist. Now you married, Right there
you go, Mandy, I made the mistake of ordering a
turkey leg at the Iowa State Fair three weeks ago.
There's still stuff in my teeth. You cannot go with

(50:40):
a turkey leg unless you have floss in your pocket.
Just saying, Mandy, you do a lazy song lyrics. I
look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping.
We're gonna do that in the next segment. We're all
over the place today, Mandy. I can only celery in
a bloody Mary, and there's that is a fine place
to eat celery, because then you've taken a cocktail and

(51:01):
you've basically made it a health dish, right, I mean
you're practically you're practically dieting at that point. You know
what I don't understand. I love a good bloody Mary.
I mean I love a good bloody Mary. But these
bloody marys now that have like a whole chicken and
like a pound of bacon and fourteen you know, shrimp
on a skewer, and like a row of Jlipino poppers

(51:23):
or whatever they're putting on there. Why who started that?

Speaker 5 (51:27):
Yeah, give me a piece of salary, maybe one piece
of bacon in there.

Speaker 4 (51:30):
There you go, and maybe a pickle green bean for
good measure. Oh yeah, yeah, just a few, say a
few accoutrements. But there's literally a bloody Mary somewhere with
a whole chicken on it. People, we've just gone too far,
we really have at that point.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
Mandy.

Speaker 4 (51:47):
Is that like not knowing you have a boogie? Yes? Yes, Mandy,
the worst thing I ever had suck in my teeth
is when my tooth broke and parts of the broken
tooth got stuck between my teeth. Oh that sounds horrible,
just horrible. Yuck, yuck, mandy, asparagus, sunflower seeds, Raisins, you

(52:10):
know what raisins. Raisins are diabolical first of all the growth.
Second of all, if you do accidentally eat a raisin
because you thought you were getting a chocolate chip cookie
and then it turned out to be meal raisin instead,
that raisin is gonna be your teeth for the next
nine years. You're gonna be on your deathbed and be like,
is that raisin in?

Speaker 5 (52:30):
Id that?

Speaker 4 (52:32):
There's no way to clean it up? No, but great story.
Hey me, If you guys ever see me at an
event and ask me about it, I will tell you
because it wasn't me like I didn't do anything horrific
or embarrassing, but man, it is. It is the kind
of story that you will hear and go that there's
no way that happened on the radio and it did.

Speaker 5 (52:52):
I just can't believe someone wanted to come and show
you guys that.

Speaker 4 (52:56):
Yeah, I would tell you how it was involved. There was
a woman who was a tear in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and
she would come to the show was in Orlando, and
she would come to Orlando for six weeks every summer
to strip for six weeks and then go. She made
more money stripping than she made the whole year as
a teacher, which is I mean, we could have that
conversation later. But she also had a special talent that

(53:17):
some women in adult performance have and she wanted to
come in and demonstrate it to us with her husband,
and it just it went off the rails.

Speaker 5 (53:28):
You think the husband said I have to be there
for this to happen, or do you think this was
like herb I got the impression.

Speaker 4 (53:34):
Like this was not a big deal for them, you
know what I mean, Like this is something they did,
like here's this party trick.

Speaker 5 (53:41):
Look what we can doat Yeah, it was it was something.

Speaker 4 (53:47):
I mean, it was something anyway, Okay, in this segment,
because it's all fluffed today after the last couple of days,
we're lightning things up. Thank you to those who are
sending texts to say thank you for just having a
stupid show today. And today's show is incredibly stupid. We
will tighten it up a little bit at two o'clock,
got a couple of guests coming on. There is a

(54:07):
memorial for Charlie Kirk here locally. Rocky Mountain Voices helping
coordinate that. And we're going to talk to Heidiganaal at
two and then two thirty. Rich Guggenheim is going to
join us to talk about testifying at the Tenth Circuit
Court of Appeals. We'll get more on that. It's all
about free speech. But in the meantime, it's time ladies
and germs. We used to do Manda Green Monday, which

(54:27):
Manda grens are actually what you call when you mess
up a song lyric, and some are quite famous, some
like Jimmy Hendrix's Excuse me while I kissed this guy.
That's a good one. CCRs. There's a bathroom on the
right and things of that nature. And I've shared one

(54:50):
of my favorites of all time came from my cousin Denise,
and she thought that big old jet airliner by Steve Miller,
you know, big to a line of for the longest
time was bring Old Chad to the Lighthouse. And I
can't stop laughing about And kids, young youngsters that are

(55:10):
that are listening today. You have to understand beck. When
we were young, we didn't have the Internet to look
up the lyrics. If we were lucky, we had the
album where you could actually get the lyrics on the
sleeve inside. But then when they started putting out CDs,
the lyrics were so small that you couldn't actually see them.
So we just had to guess, just just making just

(55:34):
make a guess, and then and then and then we
a lot of times we guessed wrong, and we sang
the wrong lyrics for years, absolutely years. And this is
the other, my other second favorite Mishard song lyrics story.
A friend of mine was on a blind date in
New York City and he said, Hey, my friends are
having a party. Do you want to go? And she's like, sure,

(55:54):
let's go. So they go to somebody's apartment where they're
having a party and there's music and they're dancing, and
they go out kind of hanging out, and the song
you Dropped a Bomb on Me was playing by The
Gap Band, one of my all time favorites. And she's
looking at him and he's singing something and she can't
quite figure out what it is he's singing, So finally
she said, what are you singing? And he goes, what

(56:18):
do you mean? She goes, what words are you singing?
And to the gap bands, you dropped a bomb on me.
He was singing, You're just a bumpy baby, You just
a bump and she said he was singing it with
such conviction that I had to leave. She just left
left the party and I was like that that hold

(56:41):
me closer. Tony Danza, that's a popular one as well.
Popular Smooth Carbuator by Shawday Smooth Carbator. That is hilarious, hilarious, Mandy, I,
what's the Eric Clapton's song Forever Man? He was saying

(57:03):
four letter woman, Oh yeah, Rido Speedwagon song. I can't
fight this feeling anymore. To this day, there is a
lie that sounds like throw up on the floor, love
the show. There's another song, what is the Oh no,
I don't remember the real words, but I sing the
wrong words all the time, just so. My daughter goes,

(57:24):
god mom, and the song goes like this, Grant, tell
me what song this is? It's Ooh, You're a devil
with a kickstand? What so is that? That is Portugal
the Man? What are the real words? I'm a rebel
just for kickstand it and I always sing I'm a
Devil with a kickstand. My friend Laurie Lynn said, have
you heard this song? It sounds like devil with a kickstand?

(57:45):
And now I can't unhear it. That's the problem, you
can't unhear it. Ac DC's ever popular Dirty Deeds and
the thunder Chief. Of course, Bake Me a Pie of
Love by Steve Winwood. That's a good one. The term

(58:06):
is Mondagren, and it's named after Lady Mondagren. And I
did know the whole story at one point, but now
I have to look it up again. Let me see
Lady Mondagren. Lady Mondagren refers to the name Sylvia Wright
used to describe a misheard phrase from a Scottish ballad,
The Bonnie Earl O. Moray write, misheard the lyric and

(58:27):
laid him on the green as and Lady monda Green.
The incident recalled in Writes nineteen fifty four essay Lady
Manda Green, led to the coining of the word Manda Green,
which now stands for a word of phrase the results
from a misheard song lyric. So there's the thing you
know now, Mandy Man on the rug for band on

(58:50):
the run, Mandy. When I was a kid, I thought
the chorus to Paperback Right by the Beatles was take
that right turn, Yeah, take that right dude. See. And
we were young, you guys. We didn't have the Internet
to tell us the right way. The knack micecrot them

(59:13):
instead of my shrona Mandy, pour some sugar on me.
Love is like a bomb, baby, come and get it on.
Living like a lover with a radar phone. Yes, looking
like a tramp, like a video vamp demolition woman. Can
I be your man? It always sounds like you're saying
red iPhone, even though they didn't exist in nineteen eighty seven.
Amadeis my Falco. I thought they were always saying hot potatoes,

(59:35):
Hot potatoes. Golly, this is fantastic. When I was a kid,
says this texter, I thought the Eagle's life in the
fast Lane was life in the batplane. That'd be cooler,
that would be cooler. Yeah, yeah, just call me Angel
of the morning, baby. Just park my jeep before you leave.

(01:00:01):
And here's the worst part is it when you realize
you've been singing the words wrong all this time. It's like, Wow,
someone should have told me this, one says if you
like Pina Colatta's it's actually if you like Bean and Cheladas.

(01:00:23):
Only someone from the Southwest would think that was what
that was. Elton John's Lucy in the Sky. I always
thought it was electric boobs. You're a dude, raspberry brulet. Okay, Yeah,
Mandy the Beg's bald headed Woman was really more than
a woman. Bald headed woman. Oh golly, Mandy. I used

(01:00:50):
to think they swore and Blitz Creek Bop by the Ramones.
It wouldn't let my kids listen to it. Then, when
my kids were teens, they explained how wrong I was.
When they say blitz Creek Bop. I thought they were saying,
let's get yeah. People didn't curse in songs back then.
We were all pure as the driven snow more bad
song lyrics text US five sixty six nine, Oh you're

(01:01:11):
killing me. I thought hot for Teacher was saying I
knocked the teacher up. Well, you know, I mean Boston.
All I want is to have a piece of pie.
I called in to an earlier Denver Top forty radio
station with this, but they wouldn't let me win that contest.
In my defense, I was listening on my grandparents' old

(01:01:31):
packard Bell two based AM radio. The heart of rock
and roll is in Topeka, of course, Huey Lewis, and
the news is big hit Yeah, Queen kicking your cat
all over the place. Of course, Queen. They always kick cats.
Have you seen the flash mob that they did of
the Queen Bohemian Rhapsody flash mob that they ah? Why

(01:01:54):
am I never in the right place for a flash mob?
Why is that? I didn't think that was a thing anymore.

Speaker 5 (01:02:01):
Ago?

Speaker 4 (01:02:02):
This one was just google Bohemian Rhapsody flashmot It is unbelievable.
I'm not the only one, says this Texter Ord Lucy
in the sky with diamonds sing about the girl with
colitis go by. She was on our way to the toilet,
for sure. The walls were shaken, the earth was quaking,
My car was taken, and we were bacon mm before

(01:02:26):
you shook me all night long, A lot of you
blinded by the light, rabbed up like a douche, another
runner in the night, all the lonely Starbucks lovers that
from blank space, Taylor Swift, Wait a minute, now, wait
a minute, how are you getting the lyrics to a
song wrong? Today? Like now if I want to know

(01:02:46):
the lyrics, I go to, oh what are the lyrics
to this song? And my little my little magic box
that I hold and make phone calls with also tells
me what the lyrics are Mandy. Until recently, I thought
the lyrics to Drift Away were give me the Beach
to every my soul. I thought that was a kid
as well. Oh really, yep, oh very nice. Let's see.

(01:03:13):
These are coming in so fast, I can't even let
me see here. Kim Carnes's song Betty Davis Eyes, She's
got better days. Aside, there's a remake portio. Jos Leia
is trying so hard to maintain some relevancy that she
decided to remake Kim Carnes Betty Davis Eyes, and that

(01:03:35):
that was a bad choice, Ladies and germs, A bad,
bad choice. Keep on rocking like a tree squirrel, of course,
I mean, but you could be forgiven for not understanding
what Neil young caterwaaled about, you know, keep on rocking
like a tree squirrel. Manby I I always hear Selene

(01:04:01):
say near far where ever you uh, I believe the
hot dogs go on? Now? Really, you thought that that
love song was talking about hot dogs. I mean, I
love hot dogs. I do Walking on Broadway now it's
walking on broken glass by any Linux. Whatever happened to

(01:04:22):
any Lenox man? I loved her? My husband intentionally seems Mama,
don't take my chromosomes and leave your boy without a nose.
To Simon and Garfunkel's coda, Chrome Elton John's Rocketman burning
all the trees off the lawn actually burning out a
fuse up here alone. Yeah, yeah, I still don't know

(01:04:44):
the correct words for Pearl Jam's song when they say
pools of Rublo. But I don't understand most of Vetter singing.
You know what. I love Pearl Jam. They were of
my era. But yeah, you can't understand anything that Eddie
Vedder says. Like I used to own all of their albums.
I still don't know the words to that stuff. The
cars Bye Bye Love. For years, I thought it was

(01:05:05):
five phylum. I was a kid learning biology and it
just stuck in my head. Didn't make a look of sense,
But that's what I heard. Scenes from an Italian restaurant,
which is one of my all top ten songs. I
thought we were waving Brenda Rennetti goodbye years before I remember,
I realized it was Brenda and Eddie, I mean Brenda Rinetti.
Why wouldn't you think that. When we get back, we're

(01:05:27):
gonna chat with Heidigan All from the Rocky Mountain Voice
about a memorial service that is coming up this weekend
for Charlie Kirk here locally. We'll tell you about it next.

Speaker 1 (01:05:37):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
accident and injury lawyers.

Speaker 2 (01:05:42):
No, it's Mandy Connell.

Speaker 3 (01:05:45):
And Tonoka.

Speaker 4 (01:05:50):
Ninem God, wait, Satty Canny through.

Speaker 2 (01:06:00):
Torontaldeth. Where is that, babe?

Speaker 4 (01:06:03):
Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the third hour of the show.
And after two hours of fun for volity and idiocy,
we are going to shift gears just for a moment
because this is time sensitive. I just got a text
message from someone who said, Mandy, you promised, you promised
it would be nothing but fluff today and I did.
But on Sunday there is a local memorial service to

(01:06:24):
honor Charlie Kirk and joining me now to talk about it.
From the Rocky Mountain Voice Rocky Mountain Voice dot com.
Hidig and all, Hey, Heidi, welcome back under such horrible circumstances.

Speaker 6 (01:06:35):
Thank you so much for having me on. It's just
been just a brutal few days. I mean, I know
you're feeling it too. And it's a time where people
just want to get together and find a way to
honor Charlie and what he's done. So many people are
friends with Charlie or got to meet him, or just
feel impacted by him or so close to him from

(01:06:56):
watching his videos. So we've got an incredible memorial put
together for Sunday at Brave Church at two o'clock.

Speaker 4 (01:07:03):
Now is it both of their locations or which location
is this happening? So it's live at the.

Speaker 6 (01:07:08):
Big location off Hampton in Inglewood, and then it'll be
live streamed into Westminster, Okay, And we've already got hundreds
of reservations for that location too. We've got over a
couple thousand reservations already for the Inglewood site and we
can hold I think they can hold up to thirty
eight hundred at the Inglewood location, and I think we're
going to pack it out.

Speaker 4 (01:07:28):
So let me just say this, and I put a
link today on the blog because this you are requiring
an RSVP, You are requiring a free ticket. It's a
free ticket. But it requires a ticket. Nonetheless, what is
the thinking behind that?

Speaker 6 (01:07:43):
Yeah, Mandy, it's all about safety. Right now.

Speaker 4 (01:07:45):
Things are so.

Speaker 6 (01:07:46):
Crazy and people are feeling really unsettled.

Speaker 4 (01:07:49):
We're all worried about.

Speaker 6 (01:07:49):
Our kids, you know, so many Turning Point kids that
want to come that we just thought it'd be safer
if we require people to put their information in to
get into the facility, so that we just have some
reassurance that, you know, everybody is going to be safe.

Speaker 4 (01:08:05):
And what can people expect security wise when they get there?
And I hate, I really hate that. This is what
I'm leading with, Heidi. You know what I mean this,
You know this, This is this event. The assassination of
Charlie Kirk has fundamentally changed the way that we will
interact in political spaces. I can't imagine that anybody is
going to be rushing to do any kind of outdoor

(01:08:26):
event from here on out because there's no way to
secure it. We've seen a president get shot, we've seen
Charlie Kirk murdered. So I hate that we're talking about security,
but I do think we have to, and so that's
why I'm coming in hard with this. But what can
people expect when they get to either location, and we
should be clear this is at both locations.

Speaker 6 (01:08:45):
Yeah, Manie, you know, I'm kicked that we're even talking
about this period. Charlie was an incredible warrior and he's
been a friend for over a decade. He's had such
a great impact on so many kids in Colorado at
University of Colorado Boulder that Turning Points was amazing and
got us through so much craziness up there. We've got
to make sure that our kids are safe. We're all

(01:09:07):
worried as parents that we're pushing our kids to be
bold and brave and be Charlie Kirk. But yet we
all just watched a horrible event on TV. So there's
going to be bag checks. We're just going to make
sure that you're registered. You don't have to register your kids.
It's just one person registers for you and your kids.
If it's a couple, go ahead and have your husband

(01:09:27):
or spouse or partner register too. But I'm just I'm
feeling a little unnerved, and so is Pastor Jeff Brave
and Jeff Hunt who's part of it, Victor Marx who's
part of it. So we just want to make sure
that families and kids are safe. This is definitely a
family friendly event. We're going to have singing. The beautiful
Stephanie Hancock is going to sing for us. It's going

(01:09:49):
to be an amazing event with lots of prayer and
hopefulness and celebrating Charlie.

Speaker 4 (01:09:55):
I got to tell you, Heidi, you just mentioned Turning
Point USA, which was the full creation of Charlie Kirk.
I mean, he is the guy that started when he
was eighteen years old in his parents' garage with no
money and no you know, nothing going for him, and
yet he's turned it into a cultural force. And I
saw a post on X earlier today where someone said,

(01:10:16):
where are their Turning Point USA chapters? If they're not
in every campus, we have to make it happen, And
the responses were overwhelming. We've got one, We're bringing it
back in Mesa, We're bringing it back here. We've got
one here, We've got one here, We've got one here.
I was so heartened by that. I was so it
filled me with hope that this the reaction to this

(01:10:39):
is going to be We're going to continue the legacy
of Charlie Kirk, and we're going to make it bigger, better,
and stronger than it's ever been before. And so to
your point about the Turning Point chapters in Boulder, in
other places where you wouldn't necessarily think that they would
have a flourishing Turning Point USA chapter, and yet they do.
I'm that gives me a little bit of I guess comfort.

Speaker 6 (01:11:01):
Maybe I'm so glad you brought that up. I was
just texting with Lena and Vega, who are the two
leaders of Turning Point, because I've been super involved behind
the scenes for many years. I was on the advisory council,
and my goal early earlier this year was to get
fifty chapters started across Colorado. They've got twenty high school
and twenty college right now, and my own daughter started
the chapter at Valor Christian recently. But we made a

(01:11:24):
commitment over text earlier that we want to do everything
we can to make sure every high school in Colorado
has a Turning Point chapter and every college campus does.
But we need parents and grandparents to help with that.
They need mentors, they need people to support them, to
have their back, because the administrators do not like this
and they make it as difficult as possible on these kids.

(01:11:45):
But I am making a commitment to that. You guys
can email me, tame me on social media. I'll introduce
you to Vega and Lina. But next week we're getting
ready to rock and roll and we're going to have
a plan to make that happen.

Speaker 4 (01:11:56):
Well, if people want to come to the event on Sunday,
I put an on the blog to the actual RSVP,
you must have a ticket. It's free. It's not like
you have to pay anything. And Jess, so you know,
like if you want to go register as a couple,
there's one ticket per mobile phone number. And I'm guessing
that's just to keep somebody from scooping up a bunch

(01:12:18):
of tickets in one fell swoop.

Speaker 6 (01:12:21):
Correct, Yes, and safety wise, that's what we've been told
by the experts. That's the best way to tackle it.
Just so we know everybody who's in there, we have
contact information, and it's just the safest way to go
about this. It's a little bit annoying, but hey, guys,
it's important that we keep our families and kids safe.
And the turning point, kids are not feeling very safe

(01:12:41):
right now.

Speaker 4 (01:12:42):
I can imagine Hidig and all thank you so much,
not just for doing this, but for Rockymountain Voice dot com.
You guys have it's just been on fire lately with
so much good, incredible commentary on the site. I mean
just really smart writers who aren't necessarily professional newspaper piece,
people who are giving perspectives from your neighborhood, wherever that

(01:13:03):
might be. And it's just it's been really, really good,
and I feel like Rocky Mountain Voice is gaining steam
and confidence in all of those things. So tell everybody
over there to please keep up the good work.

Speaker 6 (01:13:16):
Thanks so much, Manny. We have over fifty citizen journalists
across the states, so thanks to all of them, and
we want more. So anyone who's on the ground who
wants to write, reach out to Info or Heidi at
Rockymountain Voice dot com. We'll set you up, we'll give
you a platform, we'll give you a voice.

Speaker 4 (01:13:30):
All right, Heidi, I'll talk to you soon. Thank care,
Thanks Heidi. Okay, for the next segment, we're going to
get back to Mishard song lyrics, but very specific. I
want to know what you guys think the theme song
to this show says, because there's a very common misconception.
Text me five sixty six nine zero. We'll be right back.

(01:13:54):
First of all, it is not Mandy Caddle ruining the day. Okay,
can we just stop. I'm not ruining the day, this
one says. I used to think it said Mandy Connall
ruing the day, but then I thought that would be
sad Mandy Connall zooming the day.

Speaker 6 (01:14:10):
No, not.

Speaker 4 (01:14:12):
No, Why would I have that in my own theme song,
Mandy Connall ruling the day? Ruling are U L.

Speaker 5 (01:14:21):
I n G.

Speaker 4 (01:14:24):
Mandy? This is how I hear your theme song, Mandy
Connall ruling the day, but at night she's all night awake,
through the static.

Speaker 2 (01:14:31):
And the noise.

Speaker 4 (01:14:31):
She cuts through the fray. Mandy Connall keeping ignorance at Bay. Okay,
here's what it is, people, Mandy Connall ruling the day.
I am your ruler that will be fall odd with
words that ignite. She's our guiding way through the static
and the noise. She cuts through the fray. Mandy Connall

(01:14:54):
keeping ignorance at Bay. Not immigrants at Bay, as one
of our textures thought it was.

Speaker 6 (01:15:00):
No.

Speaker 4 (01:15:00):
Again, that's not something I I would have in the
theme song. Necessarily, Mandy. I don't hear ruling the day
or ruining the day. I hear rooming the day, which
of course makes no sense at all. Here's my favorite,
Mandy Connall' something something something gay, Mandy Connall' something something,
keep it at bay That's perfectly accurate, one hundred percent.

(01:15:22):
There you go. I keep hearing Mandy Condall ruins the day,
which makes complete sense because Ross does call you the
show ruin her, which is true he does because I
do ruin his show every single day. In the opening words, Mandy,
it sounds like Mandy ruined the day. Why you guys
like I realize that not everybody has a theme song.

(01:15:43):
I thought the same thing. No, no, why that would
be what? No, No, Mandy Connall's zooming the day she
keeps us in the red, No ignorance at bay Stop.
I didn't think it was that complicated things that I

(01:16:04):
think are not complicated. When I married my first husband,
whose last name was Connall, I thought to myself, my
maiden name, which is really none of your business, because
then you'll know my security questions. It was not a
complicated name, but yet people still managed to massacre it
on a regular basis, and it was always amazed. I
was like, it's pretty simple. And then when I got

(01:16:25):
to be a connall. I was like, surely no one's
gonna mess this name up. Oh boy, was I wrong.
I mean, I've had it all Cromwell O'Connell mc connell.
I told you guys in Kentucky. I met a woman
in Kentucky and she's like, oh, Mandy Connell, are you
kidd to Mitch? And I was like, well, since his

(01:16:47):
last name is mu connall, She's like, oh, or y'all can't. No,
we don't even have the same last name.

Speaker 7 (01:16:54):
No, we are not.

Speaker 4 (01:16:58):
This text her, So what are the lyrics to your things?
Just jerk? I thought it was Mandy Coddle keeping all
the Wolves at Bay. Oh, the Rangers would love that, Mandy.
How about posting the lyrics to your song on your
blog site? You know what I should do that? I
should do that. It is kind of hard to understand.
Somebody said, who's sang it? Well, the internet sang it. No,

(01:17:21):
it's not Mandy Kangaroo Days. That's not it. It's not
keeping the libs at Bay either. Maybe your singer should
redo your theme song. By the way, No, it was
a it was a Internet. It was Ai All I
hear is layer and you're a Raiders fan.

Speaker 6 (01:17:38):
Too.

Speaker 4 (01:17:38):
That's obviously mistake. When we get back. No, no, no,
I'm not keeping ignorance or ignorance. I'm keeping ignorance at Bay. Also,
I thought you were keeping troons at Bay. I don't
even know what that means.

Speaker 2 (01:17:52):
When we get back.

Speaker 4 (01:17:53):
Rich Guggenheim, who is always a fun guest regardless, I'll
ask him about his favorite misheard song lyrics. He's also
just gotten done testifying at the Tenth Court, Tenth Circuit
Court of Appeals, why because the Colorado legislature tried to
compel him to say things he doesn't believe in. We'll
talk about that next. It has been a lot of fun.

Speaker 7 (01:18:13):
Actually it's Rasberry Berry, except I would always say Rasberry Sarbee,
like how old are you?

Speaker 1 (01:18:22):
Do?

Speaker 4 (01:18:22):
I want ice cream?

Speaker 1 (01:18:23):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:18:23):
Well, I mean is delic sounds good as long as
it doesn't have season. We've already established earlier from another topic,
things that get caught.

Speaker 7 (01:18:30):
Actually, I was listening to that and I was like,
bro I am with you, am my dad. I don't
know if he's all broke me.

Speaker 4 (01:18:36):
By the way, did you did you? It's whoever your
listener was, because I remember it was a guy. Oh okay,
there I was did you it was a texter? Just
brow me.

Speaker 7 (01:18:43):
I absolutely hate raspberries and my dad loves them and
he's also Australian, so maybe that's why. But he says, hi,
by the way, Hi Dad, I do not like raspberries
because I have one of those food traps, and he
just gets stuck. That's why the meat pocket.

Speaker 4 (01:19:00):
Yeah, in by the way, with a pocket full of
dental picks like those, you know, the little floss things
that you can use. I have to go full blown,
like actual floss because of the way my teeth fit
together in a couple of places in the back. And
although I'm about to do a trade thing and straighten
up my teeth a little bit, and I'm hoping that
takes care of my meat pocket, I don't know. I

(01:19:21):
will see.

Speaker 7 (01:19:22):
I have these flosters are I have them in my home,
I have them in the car, I have them in
my office. And I have a water pick also.

Speaker 4 (01:19:29):
I love my water pick. When I was a kid,
I always thought water picks were stupid. Then I got
older and my teeth like created a meat pocket, so
I had to not have that happen. There's been all right,
drinking a can full of chemicals over there. We'll talk
to him a little bit now, and yeah's you at
the end of the show. Yeah, just wait because we're
going to talk about rich You've actually had a very
big week as well. We've obviously had a lot of

(01:19:51):
very dramatic things happening, but you found yourself testifying at
the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. Is that correct? So
that's crazy to think about that, the things that they
don't take you in college.

Speaker 5 (01:20:05):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (01:20:05):
Yeah, A lighthearted moment for the show today. They judges
decided so when you go in this case, there is
a three panel, there's three judge panel, and they decided
they're going to take a break. And I really, like,
you've been sitting there for an hour and a half,
so you know what I needed to do?

Speaker 4 (01:20:22):
Yeah, coffee time.

Speaker 7 (01:20:23):
Yeah yeah, So I just got up and then they're
just like everybody stands up and they just stand there
and I'm like already booking it for the door. And
I was like, oops, there were standing.

Speaker 4 (01:20:32):
Up, Yeah, because you have to wait for the judge
to leave the court, right, Yeah, there's that whole matter
of rise for the judge and all that stuff. And
I'm like, okay, like, is this left over from when
we were a part of Great Britain. Yeah, I mean
we British common law is a foundation for all of
our lives.

Speaker 7 (01:20:47):
Fascinating and for those of you who have never seen it,
you can live stream cases of the day on their
YouTube channel and it's so it's so fascinating. There is
a lot of tradition in ourg system and it's the same, well,
I won't say it's the same exactly the same, but
it is very similar. When you're at the US Supreme Court,

(01:21:08):
there is a lot of things that we've carried over
from those traditions and it's just fascinating to see firsthand.

Speaker 4 (01:21:15):
And I really will say this, I'm thankful for the experience.
I would say that there's a certain and my father
when I was a kid, my father was an attorney
in Florida, and when I was like twelve years old,
he goes, Okay, we're going on a field trip and
we went to the Florida Supreme Court to watch a
session of the Florida Supreme Court. And I was like,
why is everything so stuffy and formal? And my dad said,

(01:21:38):
the traditions of the court are there to maintain the
dignity of the court and the seriousness of the court,
and if you relax any of those, whether it's dress
codes or any of that stuff, then you risk questioning
or challenging the seriousness of the court. So I'm guessing
that's what you were feeling.

Speaker 7 (01:21:55):
And I think the impartiality of it, and you know
that this is really one of the things where you
have to understand that justice should not be black or white.

Speaker 4 (01:22:03):
Right, it doesn't have a color.

Speaker 7 (01:22:05):
And I think when you you sit there and you
listen and the docket of the day was just fascinating
to me. You know, there are two cases that had
to do with the George Floyd protests and the riots
that were happening in Denver and the lawsuit against the
city and County of Denver for damages that there are
two cases about that.

Speaker 4 (01:22:24):
The day before that, there is a case that the.

Speaker 7 (01:22:26):
Judges heard that was relating to a school here in
Colorado secretly transitioning children.

Speaker 4 (01:22:32):
Right, case, wasn't it?

Speaker 5 (01:22:34):
No?

Speaker 7 (01:22:35):
I think hers is on the way to the Supreme
Court one here in Colorado. It's happening more than we realize,
but it's so fascinating to hear. And then The way
it's set up is you have the appellant in the
pelly and each side gets fifteen minutes to make their
oral argument, and so you have this three panel of

(01:22:55):
judge and in my case, it's a Ronald Reagan appointee.
I didn't even know what transgender dead naming meant. So
he's like, what does dead naming mean?

Speaker 5 (01:23:04):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:23:04):
Wow, okay, I mean.

Speaker 7 (01:23:06):
But that's because his generation didn't grow up with this,
and this is such a new phenomenon and part of
what we're fighting is a linguistic war.

Speaker 4 (01:23:13):
Well, let's talk about why you were there in the
first place. We've kind of glossed over that. So let's
talk about the actual case that you are in front
of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. What happened initially,
this spawned this lawsuit, that's yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:23:26):
So going back to the context of this, we had
HB twenty four US ten seventy one, which.

Speaker 4 (01:23:32):
Was Tierra's law. And Tiera is a man.

Speaker 7 (01:23:38):
His real name is Dwayne Powell, and he has a
rather extensive rap sheet. He also is a drag queen performer.
I don't know how he's a drag queen if he
identifies as a woman, but anyway play a part of
a woman. He approximates women, appropriates the rights, and colonizes
their spaces. He also has children who perform in drag

(01:23:59):
at a bur leskaw in Colorado Springs, where they dance
like your Orlando radio show guest.

Speaker 4 (01:24:06):
Don't want any dancing going on that. If you just
missed that part of the story, I'll tell you the
rest of that off the air, Off the air, anyway,
we digress the case that was what was about this?

Speaker 7 (01:24:20):
I was at the House and the Senate Judiciary Committee,
and they had the quorum rules that you're not allowed
to dead name or misgender anybody. And that compels my
speech because I don't believe that Dwayne is a woman,
and I don't I am not going to use his name.

Speaker 4 (01:24:35):
His name is Dwayne. I don't care how you identify you.

Speaker 7 (01:24:39):
You know, as I've said before, you can bring the
circus to town, but I don't have to buy a ticket.
So this goes against my deeply held beliefs that there
are two genders, two sexes, and that you're we have
the right to be able to speak freely and speak
the truth, right, And.

Speaker 4 (01:24:57):
That's exactly what this was speaking the truth.

Speaker 7 (01:25:00):
So the case really comes down to legislative immunity and
does the legislature.

Speaker 4 (01:25:04):
Wait wait, wait, you forgot to tell why you forgot
the part where you were testifying. It's the legis that's
kind of the biggest part there. You skipped over the
meat of the operation here.

Speaker 7 (01:25:14):
Sofying testifying and I reach the legislature, state legislature here,
both House and Senate, and I was my microphone was
turned off and I was kicked out of the committee
hearings for refusing to use the language.

Speaker 4 (01:25:27):
Of the state that they required us to use. I
was there to speak the truth.

Speaker 7 (01:25:31):
I was not allowed to do that because they said
it was disrespectful and went against.

Speaker 4 (01:25:36):
Their rules of decorum. So they silenced me.

Speaker 7 (01:25:40):
And that's why I filed this federal lawsuit against the
state legislature, specifically Loraina Garcia. Anybody surprised by that grifter?
There's a whole lot we could unpack with that one. Yeah,
that's a whole week's worth the show. There's uh, Lorena.

Speaker 4 (01:25:55):
Garcia, daphnemicls engine a. There was is.

Speaker 7 (01:26:01):
Julie Gonzalez, Mike Weiser, and there is a representative. She's
no longer in the legislature, but she was from Denver,
and it's ironic that so many of them are part
of the LGBTQ plus community, so Leslie Herrot is who
it was.

Speaker 4 (01:26:18):
So that is why I really.

Speaker 7 (01:26:20):
Think that they had an agenda, and they the case
is about does do these legislators and does the legislature,
under legislative immunity, have the right to make these rules
and maintained de korum in these legislative hearings. And by
the way, these legislative hearings legally are classified as limited

(01:26:42):
public meetings, right, so we have they open up to
the public to be able to come and testify on
these bills. And they were saying this is wild. It's
all on the courts website. You can listen to the
audio recording. The attorney for the State of Colorado said, yes,
it happened, and yeah, we will do it again.

Speaker 4 (01:27:02):
So essentially they have already said we're going to silence
speech we don't disagree with and we have the right
to do and they have the right to do that.
That's what they're arguing about.

Speaker 7 (01:27:09):
And they said, and if we aren't allowed to do this,
we're just going to stop allowing the public to.

Speaker 4 (01:27:13):
Come and testify. It was wild, And I'm like, so,
how is this a functioning democracy?

Speaker 7 (01:27:18):
Because they love to throw that word out to representative democracy.
Well that's already a misnomer when thirty percent of the
legislature's appointed, not elected.

Speaker 4 (01:27:26):
So that happened, and so we're arguing about that, and.

Speaker 7 (01:27:29):
The question is really where does legislative immunity and the
right to maintain the respectful discourse and decorum, and my
right to speak.

Speaker 4 (01:27:37):
Biological and ideological truth.

Speaker 7 (01:27:39):
Where is that balance and where is the state's right
to allow people to speak and the balance between our
First Amendment rights right? And so that's really what this
comes down to, is our First Amendment right to be
able to speak in a public form in the people's
house without being silenced. Because even if it's true, they
may say it's disrespect and they cannot allow they can

(01:28:01):
allow that type of stuff to not be heard. And
they have a right to choose who and what view
points are heard in a legislative committee. And that's what
this is also about, is viewpoint discrimination right.

Speaker 4 (01:28:12):
Because that's really what it comes down to. I mean,
you can pass a law that says you can't yell
fire in a crowded theater or whatever that example is,
even though that's not constitutional. But we'll come back to
that later. But what you can't do is say to
someone I disagree with what you're saying, and therefore I'm
going to prevent you from saying it. And that's exactly
what happened here.

Speaker 7 (01:28:32):
That's what happened, and this is that's really what the
argument was about. And I'm really impressed by the questions,
and you can read a lot into where you think
the justices are going. I said, we had a Reagan appointee,
we had a Trump appointee, and we had a Biden appointee. Okay,
and so the questions that were really asked were insightful.
And I think that there's even among the Biden appointee.

(01:28:55):
It's I don't necessarily think that he buys into this
legislative and unity ideas.

Speaker 4 (01:29:01):
I was going to ask you, did you get it?
Did your attorney more importantly, because you are a layman,
and your attorney probably has a better sense because usually
after like if you listen to Supreme Court arguments, you
can listen to the questions that the justices are asking,
and you can kind of get a vibe for what
they may be moving towards. Did you find that to

(01:29:22):
be in your favor or was it? Did you get
any vibe at all? I mean, it could go either way.

Speaker 7 (01:29:27):
I don't want to speak on behalf of the justices
because I don't know what they're cranking in their chambers.
But I really do think that this could go out
in our direction. I got that sense that it, at
least part of it will go in our direction. You know,
we are seeking injunctive relief, and what we're asking for
is no, I'm not asking for money.

Speaker 4 (01:29:49):
I'm not asking for a compensation from this. I'm asking for.

Speaker 7 (01:29:53):
The state and the legislature to uphold their oath of
office and protect the First Amendment rights to the people
and to stop violating those rights.

Speaker 4 (01:30:05):
So when do you find out? Probably around Thanksgiving Christmas time. Well,
hopefully we'll have lots to be thankful for on that one.

Speaker 7 (01:30:12):
You know, here's what's hard, and I know we got
like a second left, but walking out of that meeting,
out of that court, turning on the phones and hearing
about Charlie Kirk, what I'm hoping in some small way
this my fight here in Colorado to protect the right
to speak uncomfortable truth and have disagreement and discourse is

(01:30:32):
a tribute and honor to what Charlie Kirk spent his
life and died for.

Speaker 4 (01:30:37):
I thank you for this, and you know you guys,
I've gotten the chance to know Rich a little bit,
and he is this fiery ginger who is not going
to back down, and he has dealt with so many
layers of garbage from his own community, the gay community,
and he still continues to show up and make the
argument and fight. And I think you are doing Charlie Kirk,

(01:31:00):
which is very proud, very very and he walks in today.
Tell me tell us about your shirt, Rich Googenheim that
you can't Yeah, it's adorable.

Speaker 7 (01:31:08):
New shirt from Gays against groomers and mister Rogers on
the front of the shirt and it said boys are
boys from the Guinea Girls are girls right from the start.

Speaker 4 (01:31:17):
And that's actually a quote by mister Rogers. So that
is going on real quick plug the book, Oh yeah,
my book, Escaping the Rainbow Plantation.

Speaker 7 (01:31:25):
I also have a podcast on iHeart Media, Yeah go
iHeart and it's doing well.

Speaker 4 (01:31:30):
You can get it on Amazon.

Speaker 7 (01:31:32):
You can also if you've read it, I would really
appreciate a five star review, so I can, Oh, I.

Speaker 4 (01:31:36):
Should go back and review it because I'm a verified buyer.

Speaker 7 (01:31:38):
You are, and I can fend off all the truons
that are trying to attack me with one star reviews
and get it taken off Amazon.

Speaker 4 (01:31:44):
Nope, we got to fix that. And it's a very
good book. It's an easy read. It's it's so frustrating.
That's the word I'm going to use for the content
of your book. Very frustrating. And when you read it
the way that Rich has laid it out, you begin
to go, Wow, none of this makes remote sense at all.
Like it's almost like we're living in an alternate universe.
It's like George Orwell. I tried to make it make sense.

(01:32:06):
I mean, I tried to lay it on logically, but
I know what you're talking about doesn't make any sense.
You can't make something that is illogical logical, right, you
laid it out in a logical fashion, but what you're
talking about is illogical. It doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 7 (01:32:20):
Well, and that's exactly what this whole silencing people who
disagree with is about, because they don't have a logical
retort to what they're proposing, so they have to win
the argument by default, and they do that by silencing people,
and unfortunately we see they will do that any ways necessary.

Speaker 4 (01:32:35):
Yeah, this textor said, tell Rich, I wore my xxxy
athletic shirt to my golf tournament today. Got lots of looks,
but rocking it proudly. And that's honestly what it's going
to take. This is what it takes is us standing up.

Speaker 7 (01:32:46):
And I hope that what happens with what we're seeing
right now this encourages people because it is more important
now than ever for us to stand up and speak
the truth, not back down, not live in fear. We
have to pick up that micro her phone that Charlie
Kirk left behind and speak the truth.

Speaker 4 (01:33:03):
And that's what my book is about. It's about speaking
freely a man. By the way, Ben Albright has joined
us in the studio for his of the Day.

Speaker 1 (01:33:10):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:33:10):
I don't know if you know this, but you're about
to play a Q and O Champ of the Day.
But Rich has played exactly twice.

Speaker 7 (01:33:18):
He's about to stand bag on me Mandy today that
we have to let her win. So I wanted her
to have a better record.

Speaker 5 (01:33:25):
What did I say?

Speaker 4 (01:33:26):
What did I say? I said, no, no.

Speaker 2 (01:33:30):
Win charity dub.

Speaker 4 (01:33:33):
Now low blow.

Speaker 7 (01:33:35):
It's because the Rockies are a low bar and somehow
managed to limbo under that bar every game.

Speaker 4 (01:33:42):
Sad but true, sad but true. And now it's time
for the most exciting segment on the radio. It's gone
very good. I like the fade away. That was nice,
cross face, very nice. What is our dad joke of
the day, please, sir.

Speaker 5 (01:33:59):
Dad Joke of day. I was out with my young
daughter and ran into a friend I've not seen in years.
This is Beth, I said, introducing my kid.

Speaker 4 (01:34:06):
And what's Beth short for? He asked, I replied, because
she's only three. Which astrological sign?

Speaker 1 (01:34:15):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (01:34:16):
Sorry?

Speaker 4 (01:34:16):
Word of the day day is a verb verb flummox oh.
That means to confuse someone. I'm flummoxed. I don't know
the ansack to confuse or perplex on the look, So
I use that word on a regular basis because I
just think it feels fancy to say you don't know something.
I'm flummoxed, and they have no idea what you're actually saying.
So you know which astrological sign is represented by the

(01:34:38):
sea goat a mythological animal. It's the body of a goat.
And the calcorn is that you Okay? I know mine

All right?

Speaker 4 (01:35:01):
What is our jeopardy category?

Speaker 5 (01:35:04):
I chose a tough one, at least in my mind,
since we have so many champions and yep anagrams of
each other. Okay, ready, yep. To hear something with thoughtful
attention and making no.

Speaker 4 (01:35:16):
Sound, Rich ponder, got two words in each of the
answer many is listen quietly anagrams of oh, you know
what is the question? Anagram is a two words? That

(01:35:38):
is the question. I know what it is to hear
something with thoughtful attention and making no sound. I know
what that is? Can I say it when they don't
get it? It's silent, but I just can I give
the answer?

Speaker 5 (01:35:51):
Now?

Speaker 4 (01:35:51):
Listen silently, listen and silent? Oh got it? Okay, Okay,

a situation of no economic growth.

Mandy, what is an antagonist and stagnation? Correct one? I
didn't think you want to get it too. I was
sitting here waiting to hit the buzzure.

Speaker 5 (01:36:59):
Last one bead of fluid from the eye. And an
animal that attacks other animals.

Speaker 7 (01:37:11):
I feel like this should be really easy, But yet
it's not an animal that attacks another animal.

Speaker 4 (01:37:16):
Yeah, I don't know, tear drop and predator. Oh, I
will take my one to zero victory over both of you.
Mission accomplished.

Speaker 1 (01:37:33):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:37:37):
It might be a lowercase W, but there bee after
there is not a lowercase W on that.
