Speaker 5 (00:28):
A Friday edition of the show altogether. Now that's right,
I'm your host for the next three hours. Mandy Connell
joined by a fine replacement for Anthony Rodriguez, who is off.
That's Grant Smith. Everybody I would say better than fine,
but that's just me. I mean fine to me is
a compliment, like back in my day when somebody was like, girl,

(00:50):
you're fine, that's much. Well, mean it that way. I'll
take it. That's what I meant, Grant, How could you
take it any other way? I did trim up the
beard today, got the mustache sharp. You're a sharp groomed man.
I will say this, Uh, Gret, you did a pretty
nice job taking care of your beard. We don't have
any wild, unkempt beards in this building. Yeah, that is

(01:15):
a little wild and unkempt. I was gonna compliment Ross
and then wait, never mind, let's just move on and
find out who won. The Paul McCartney tickets from the
Roski Minski Show. Chris won them. Chris last, and it
She'll be No, you have to talk like this little
tiny chair. Ross is in the tiny chairs ridiculous. I'm

(01:43):
gonna send you a picture of Ross in the tiny
chair and I want you to post it on our
social media, please, Sir relations to question Chris because he
knew which album it was.

Speaker 6 (01:54):
Yeah, so Chris got the right answer. Chris was the
seventh texture with the right answer. What is the name
of Paul McCartney's first solo album? And I think the
album was from nineteen seventy, but it was called McCartney
not the.

Speaker 5 (02:04):
Most I mean, they didn't focus group that well. I mean,
but actually, if you're coming out of the most famous
for him in the world, Yeah, and you just want
to let people know what's up, it's actually kind of
good marketing, really.

Speaker 7 (02:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:15):
And it's not like you know Smith or Jones, like
everybody's gonna know who it is.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
I would have gone with Justin McCartney.

Speaker 8 (02:22):
Just what is this?

Speaker 5 (02:23):
I'm just listening to macarths. No, just McCartney.

Speaker 6 (02:25):
I keep thinking about you and that most expensive burger
in the world and just your your reaction to that story,
like how.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
Perfect it was. I just need a rich people grift,
like I just have to. There was actually the son
of one of the largest realitate real estate magnates in
the country. Billionaire guy cannot remember his name right now.
He just had to come out and basically disown his
thirty one year old son because his thirty roight year

(02:52):
old son is trading on the family name to create
a social club, like a billionaire social club. So he
lined up all these people using his dad's name, and
he basically was like, We're going to have this incredibly
exclusive social club by invitation only, and do you want
to get on on the ground flop And there was
no club.

Speaker 6 (03:10):
He was just grifting people. Wow, that's exactly what I'm
looking for. The boys are doing that same kind of thing.
They're setting up a club in DC.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
Just know how where we are, smart, ross, stupid, stupid
people make money grifting all the time. I just want
to grift from people who can afford it.

Speaker 6 (03:27):
Yeah, it's like the Willie Sutton thing, right, Why do
you rob banks because money?

Speaker 3 (03:33):
I mean.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
Jeffrey Epstein was a math teacher and ended up a billionaire. Yeah,
so I mean, I don't want to blackmail people, which
obviously had to have gone on there well of anybody.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
You know.

Speaker 6 (03:41):
If listeners, if you've got an idea how Mandy and
I can come up with a successful great, Yeah, we
need so it needs to have a few things.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
The targets have to be rich people.

Speaker 6 (03:49):
Yeah, who can afford a little you can afford it, yeah,
and you have to guarantee that we won't go to jail.
But Mandy and I will do the work and we'll
kick you back a couple of percent, Yeah, a.

Speaker 5 (03:58):
Couple of bucks here and there. But here's the thing.
We have to make them want the grift. That's the thing.
It's not they're gonna be calling us like once the
grift gets going, whatever it is, okay, once the grift
gets good, we don't even have to do anything.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Ross.

Speaker 5 (04:11):
We just make sure people have our number, right, and
then they just all come in and say, please grift me.
But they'll say, please let me into whatever grift you've created.
That what will actually mean? So how can we get
in trouble for giving people what they're asking for?

Speaker 6 (04:24):
Ross, I will just say that mindset is it's scary
isn't it perfectly female?

Speaker 8 (04:31):
Right?

Speaker 5 (04:31):
Because you think, right, like like when you were young
and you go to a bar, you would.

Speaker 6 (04:37):
Think, just gonna sit here and wait for the guys
to come to me and show them what they want, right,
They're gonna come to me. Meanwhile, I go to the
bar and I'm like, they're that girl over there. How
do I even try to talk to her? So that
that whole we're gonna make them come. We're just gonna
dangle it in front of them and let them come

(04:58):
to us. Only a woman would come up with that, No,
because that's what grifters do, right, the best s.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
Grifters create the desire for whatever it is they have. Exactly.

Speaker 6 (05:08):
You have to get an invitation, and they don't even
tell you how they decide who gets one, and they don't.

Speaker 5 (05:12):
Even tell you what's in the dan burger. You could
be eating dog food for all you know. You have
no idea, and you're going to pay eleven grand for
the privilege of being invited to buy a burger that
you don't even get a full description of. I mean,
that is that's magic. That is just absolutely astoundingly. I
just loved how much you loved that stuff I do.

(05:34):
I love creative ways where people are just like you
know what. I Am going to separate people from their money,
and I'm going to do it in an unabashed fashion.
And we have examples of this back. I mean, think
about there was a man who made millions with rocks
being sold as pets. Ross I remembers didn't even do anything,

(05:55):
just mailed them to people as a pet rock, and
he's a millionaire. I mean, come on, far smarter than that,
are we? We just use our powers for good instead
of drifting. If we were far smarter than that, we
might be rich.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Maybe we're not far smarter.

Speaker 5 (06:08):
Yeah, maybe we're too Maybe we're too good.

Speaker 7 (06:10):
Ross.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
Maybe that's what I'm gonna tell myself. I don't think
that's right. Shut up, nobody asked for you to weigh in, mister.
All right, I'm on vacation now. Thanks for all right,
have a nice time.

Speaker 6 (06:21):
Ross.

Speaker 5 (06:22):

I see you first. Anyway, let's do the blog. We

are just not as smart as the people who are.
I'm just gonna say it. I'm not trying to like
shame you, but I am. It's so good, it's so

(08:50):
so good. I got to fix the Eagles video at
the bottom though, because the Eagles blocked that video from
being embedded, so I'll oh, no, you can just click
on the watch on YouTube video. And I know it's
the Filadelphia Eagles, but apparently two of the Eagles players,
their two little girls, have a podcast, proving grant anyone
can do a podcast. But they're interviewing the Eagles players

(09:12):
and it's really funny. It's really funny. Today we've got
at twelve thirty coming up. I actually confirmed this on
the way over here today. Bobby Daniel from Mesa County
is a Mesa County Commissioner and she may have struck
gold with a nineteen ninety one statute in the state
of Colorado. She started out, and we'll get into this

(09:36):
in a little bit when she comes on the show.
She started out looking for how much unfunded state mandates
cost Mesa County. She was just like, let me do
a spreadsheet. I'm a Mesa County commissioner, I should know
how much the state is costing us, and then it
turned into something really big, and now it has turned
into fix it or fund it, and a overlooked statute

(09:58):
from nineteen ninety one could be he's a way forward
for counties to push back against democratic overreach. We're going
to get into that at twelve thirty. And in the meantime,
I've got a couple of big things. First of all,
it's to ask me anything kind of day, and you
can do that on the Common Spirit Health text line
five six six nine. Oh, you can go ahead and
text those questions or whatever. It would be wonderful. Can

(10:19):
we have some showgirl intro music today?

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Please?

Speaker 5 (10:22):
That's from a texture rant the Texter's Rule. It's all
Taylor all day today on rejoids. I think I get
to decide that job. Did life of a Showgirl? Yay?

Speaker 3 (10:34):
You know what?

Speaker 5 (10:34):
The song I'm totally obsessed with because I feel it
in my bones and I want to use it every
time somebody texts me something nasty, actually romantic. I wonder
how many of them we have in our system. Maw,
I don't know, I don't We'll look and see.

Speaker 9 (10:49):
That was text or if any Taylor Swift is okay
if we don't, if we only have like two or
three specifically Showgirl.

Speaker 5 (10:56):
So no, I bet you we have the whole album
in the system. We have to because as they played
it the day it was, I know that we've played
it on our stations in its entirety, and they have
to play the radio version because there's so much cursing
in it.

Speaker 9 (11:08):
I was gonna say, have you seen how many people
are in the building that's true? What if they played
the whole thing on hits?

Speaker 5 (11:14):
I think they did. I mean, no, Mandy, do you
think the blouse that Ross wears makes him more or
less attractive to the ladies? Y'all? If you knew how
amazing Ross's wife was, you would never make a Ross
comment like that. Again, like Ross landed a babe first
of all, and not only is she a babe, she
has an Australian accent as a babe, and she's like

(11:37):
one of the coolest people you're ever meet in your life.
That's Ross's wife in a nutshell. So any Ross can't
get the ladies things has already been clearly and utterly
and totally dispelled by the woman who said, I will
be married to you. So yeah, that has absolutely no play. Mandy,
you grew up in the eighties, did you wear neon
colors and leg warmers? Did you have one of those

(12:00):
clear telephones? No, my parents would never buy me the
clear telephone. I just had a regular dumb phone from
Southern Bell Bell South. I at various points, but only
as a costume. I was not like a leg warmer.
I was more of a slouchy sock girl than a
legwarmer girl. Oh, don't laugh, slouchy socks are coming back.

(12:24):
Oh oh, just wait. Okay, so as soon as wide
leg pants, here's okay, grant, here's a little something something
for you can take this to the bank. Okay. Let
me tell you what's gonna be in fashion over the
next ten years. Are you ready. First of all, pants
that look good on people, the high waisted pants that
we've been wearing, those are gonna go back out of style,
and we're gonna go right back to low rise. So

(12:44):
we're gonna see everybody's butt cracks again. And at some point,
the wide legs that look good on most people are
gonna go away again, or we're gonna go back to
skinny jeans. But before that happens, we're gonna have skinnier jeans,
and then we're gonna have slouchy socks. Slouchy socks are
socks that you kind of put on in that you
kind of bunch them down so they're leg warmer ish,
but they are not leg warmers. And hairstyles were about

(13:07):
to go from like kind of wavy to wild big hair. Yeah,
big hair is so close. And you know why big
hair looks good on everyone. You know what doesn't look
good on everyone? Party down the middle, straight hair that's
very A vast majority of us don't look good with
that hair. Now, for people like me, I'm of a
certain age, I don't give a rats, but tuti what's

(13:28):
in style? I'm wearing my hair the way it looks good.
I'm to that point now too. I don't care. I'm
not going back to baggy pants. I grew up with that,
like the Jingco era. Well you're talking about the stove
pipe legs, like the really bag See. I love wide legs.
I think they look great on everyone. Oh, I think
they do too. I just actually got my first pair
that are not skinny jeans again, but I don't like

(13:50):
the baggy, I you know, but it all basically it's
the fashion industry saying okay, yeah that was in style
last year. So if we want everybody to rush out
and replace their entire wardrobe, we have to tell them
that what they had last year is no longer acceptable.
That's why I buy my clothes at Costco has some
good stuff. Man, he bothered. Oh see, oh, now you've

(14:12):
stepped in. I have a story about Costco on the
on the on the blog today Costco is trying to
kill me. Grant. Have you tried the chocolate chip cookie
from the food court. No, oh, don't do it. I
always just get a hot time. Don't do it, Grant,
don't have the cookie, because then when you walk in,
you can hear them calling from I've had my I've
had a half of one Costco cookie. I can that's

(14:34):
a habit. I cannot afford.

Speaker 6 (14:35):
Can't do it.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
But now they've added a salted caramel brownie Sunday hooked
it back in. Yeah, suck me. I haven't tried it yet.
I haven't even tried it yet, but I looked up
how many calories it has just to keep me honest.
So it's going to have to earn its way in
what is Costco doing?

Speaker 9 (14:51):
I will say, my wife, wonderful wife made steak and
it was done when I got home last night, because
I have worked with it obviously, but I was like, damn,
where did you get this steak from? She's like, Costco
too has the best meat. I'm like, we cannot get
a steak anywhere else.

Speaker 5 (15:07):
Now, well, we've actually there's a place and it's a
hall from us, Like we got to drive to get there,
and it's the Elizabeth Meat Walker and they have the
best steaks and they're cheaper than any store and they
are phenomenal. Well, now that I'm an hotoowner, I plan
on getting a big old freezer. Yeah, get a stand up,
not a drop freezer. You're welcome, okay, unless you're hide
a dead body. A drop freezer sucks. It's just unwieldy.

(15:30):
You can't see anything.

Speaker 9 (15:31):
Well, I won't be the one hiding the dead body,
but maybe my wife when she gets tired of me.

Speaker 5 (15:35):
You know what, You never know, grant, but it'll keep
you from getting out of line, right. But I was
just thinking that, Yeah, Mandy, you've said you can't see
retiring in Colorado, would you ever consider going back to Florida?
Probably not I I just I would probably if I
were to move somewhere other than near my kids in Ohio,

(15:56):
I would probably look in Tennessee or the Carolinas. In
the house you could get in Ohio. Oh, we're looking now.
We're actively looking right now because we want to buy
a place to use as a short term rental and
then we have a place to say when we go
see the kids, you know, like doing that. And I
mean the houses that we're looking at, you can get
a two bedroom, one bath, small house like fifteen hundred

(16:17):
and seventeen hundred square feet, right older home, post war
home that most of them have been probably not renovated
all that much, so you'd have to do cosmetic touch ups.
But they're like little brick poop houses. I mean, they're
just built solid. And those are like, you know, two
hundred one seventy nine, two hundred.

Speaker 9 (16:34):
My buddy from college just bought a house on the
Athens Country Club golf course, five bedroom, three bath, over
three thousand square feet with a full furnished basement. And
it was cheaper than the house Olivia and I just
spot in do Wow, which is obviously much smaller.

Speaker 5 (16:51):
Yeah, Mandy, does Koa still have the jet copter? No,
we do not. That is a very expensive overhead item
that was cut some time ago. Mandy at fifty four.
I'm sticking with what looks good. But I also don't
want to be like those ladies that stayed with a
boufont for far too long. Yeah, I'm not. My hairstyle
isn't really a hair style, right, It's just what my

(17:12):
hair does, that's the thing. It's just this is what
my hair does. This is what it looks like. Mandy Hope,
I'll be going on a cruise with celebrity to the Mediterranean.
In your vast cruising experience, would you recommend buying the
Wi Fi packages. I've seen some reviews that the Wi
Fi doesn't work that great, but I worry of being
completely disconnected. Okay, here's the thing. Wi Fi and cruise

(17:34):
ships is perfectly fine. If you just want to look
at Facebook or make sure you're able to get text messages,
or you want to make Wi Fi calls. It's perfectly
fine for that. If you want to download and stream
a movie, you're gonna be very unhappy. If you want
to upload large video files to a website as a
or a blogs or whatever, you're gonna be unhappy. But
if you're just a normal human using the Wi Fi

(17:57):
as I do, I have always found the Wi Fi
package to be worth it. So I got those movies
before you go. But my question is is like, why
are you in your room watching a movie anyway? You know,
go to the Origami class people. A lot of people
fall asleep to TV. I understand that, but they have
TV and movies on the on the ships. You ever

(18:19):
been on a cruise, really, I gotta tell you. I
think a lot of people have misconceptions about what cruising is.
And I enjoy the heck out of it. Unpacking once
it's like you get a little appetizer of all the
places you stop, and you can decide if you want
to go back again. I really want to do. I
was when my parents were in town. They were talking
about the cruise they did on the Rhyane River.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Nothing.

Speaker 5 (18:38):
That's what the Mandy Connell Adventure is next year on October.
Maybe I need to go Mandy Connell trip dot com,
Mandy Donald trip dot com. Yes, okay, you get the
producer's discount. It's not much Okay, don't get excited. I'm
just saying, here's fifty bucks. Good luck, grant. Okay, we're
gonna take a quick time out. When we get back,
we're going to talk to Mesa County Commissioner Bob Daniel.

(19:00):
She is fantastic and in trying to dig down into
how much the State of Colorado was costing Masa County
and unfunded mandates, she has opened a can of worms
that I absolutely love. We will talk to her right
after this. I have to say, Masa County Commissioner, Bobby
Daniel joining me now. She had a little idea that

(19:22):
I feel like has opened up a can of worms
and I'm so pleased for joining me now. Bobby, it's
good to talk to you again.

Speaker 7 (19:29):
Thank you Mandy for having me, Thanks for having me
on the show. It's exciting to talk about it.

Speaker 5 (19:33):
So tell me what started you down the rabbit hole
of looking into unfunded mandates from the state.

Speaker 7 (19:39):
Yeah. So, I'm just I was a new commissioner and
we had our department head meeting that we do every week,
and more and more our department heads for sharing this
frustration over the unfunded mandates. And it didn't matter if
it was the landfilled the sheriff, the clerk. Everyone had

(20:00):
a story about how unfunded mandates were affecting their budget
and this was frustrating for them because it's something they
can't really control, They couldn't see for coming, and it
really took deep impacts to their budget. Just for example,
there was a landfilled liner bill that came out. It

(20:20):
affected our budget at the county. It was going to
be a two million dollar landfill liner that we didn't want,
we didn't need, that we had no say, and so
it was very frustrating that kind of a cost that
comes out of nowhere really does impact budgets. And so
we're just basically compiling all that information when we were

(20:41):
as we were getting it. Each legislative session comes out
with new unfunded mandates, and so we started a tracker.
This tracker tool was able to calculate from each department
the impacts of unfunded mandates and it really grew substantially.
The first year was interesting department heads. You know, if

(21:04):
you're in a silo, you're just kind of in your
own world. You're focusing on your budget, but then when
you put it together as a county, they started getting
really excited. They're like, wow, this is a lot of money.
And so we're in our second year of tracking that.
We're up to almost ten million dollars in funded mandates
that we've been able to track. That's just annually, and
that's just in Mesa County.

Speaker 5 (21:25):
So the most interesting part of this whole thing is
that when did you become aware of CRS twenty nine
dash one dash three oh four point five.

Speaker 7 (21:36):
Yes, So we took our unfunded mandates to a tracker,
We went to all the counties, we shared that with them,
we started tracking them. We're like, wow, this is a
really big problem that's affecting us. How can we push back? Well,
it's great. Actually, the Constitution is fabulous in this arena
where if it's not fully funded, if it's not funded,

(21:58):
then it's optional. And so we really wanted to convey
that to the legislature. There are some unfunded mandates that
are so costly and it's really hurting what we're able
to provide. Our core services are suffering, and so we
communicated in a letter we're not going to be combined

(22:20):
with these unfunded mandates. Here are a few unfunded mandates
that we won't be complyed with the Constitution's clear if
you don't fund it is now optional. So we were
able to send a letter in July, and then we
have almost forty counties that have also sent their individual
letters to the governor and also House and Senate leadership.

(22:44):
So we're making a lot of headway. We have the
majority of our counties are with us on this. And
what's exciting is you have Boulder County, of Stommit County,
you have Mesa County. There are so many folks that
are coming to this issue in a very non partisan
fashion and really talking about numbers and budgets and how

(23:05):
it suspects their constituents at home.

Speaker 5 (23:07):
Now, let me ask you this, if this unfunded mandate
is now optional, the first thing I thought of, Bobby,
was this, all these new gun laws about concealed carry,
they are a huge burden to the individual county sheriff's department.
There's got to be a huge price tag attached, and
as far as I know, there's no money coming specifically

(23:28):
to enforce those new rules. So does that mean that
if a county like Mesa or like Douglas, Urel Paso said,
you know what, we're going to opt out of those
new requirements. Is that is that argument valid?

Speaker 7 (23:42):
Well so far, you know, each county is taking a
look at what liability would be for their constituents, and
that's there's nuances to that, and we don't want to
give a green light to something that could be very
serious when it comes to some ramifications, especially with like
the filtery, and so what we've done is we've tried

(24:06):
to stay out of more of those polarizing conversations when
it comes to those things. I think there's legal action
that probably take place when it comes to Senate Build three,
and I think there's already some lawsuits that are taking
place right now. But as far as unfunded mandates, we're
really trying to focus on more non partisan issues where

(24:30):
we can really talk about what's being funded and what's
being not funded, and when the legislature is not really
taking into account accurate fiscal notes. Sometimes in these bills,
it's really interesting it'll say minimal impact to local governments
and they just need to do a better job. Minimal
impact can mean a lot of different things, and it's

(24:52):
just not fair and it's not accurate. And so we
really are pushing back in a very non part of
in way that this has to be fixed, right ask
being the state legislature to fund it or fix it.
And I think this is great because we're moving into
the next legislative session and hopefully we will have even

(25:14):
more counties joining us in this coalition to really work
towards the solution.

Speaker 5 (25:18):
I have a couple of people on the text lines
asking for an example, and when Texter said, what is
an unfunded mandate? And that is simply when the state says,
here's a new law that outlines something that you must do,
and the counties are in charge of it, but we're
not giving you any money that you might need to
take care of the mandate that we're now giving you.
So that's the sort of overall explanation of an unfunded mandate.

(25:40):
But do you have specific examples inmates accounting of unfunded
mandates that you could give us.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (25:46):
So one of the more pressing issues is we're dealing
with a Rule thirty one. This is a regulatory rule
that came out of rule making, and so this isn't
necessarily a bill that got passed, but it is an
agency in the state that is working through some of
this role making that could have some major effects, and

(26:07):
again it doesn't come with funding. And so this is
in regards to methane in a landfilled and so these
are rules that the federal government already has rules are
established methane in landfills. The State of Colorado just kind
of wanted to take the extra mile, but that extra
mile is going to cross Mason County landfilled. Nine million

(26:29):
dollars to implement in the first year, and a million
dollars after that for each year. So these are sort
of if it's just an agency and it's just one
bill and it's one legislature, they're like, well, this has
good intention, but really the unintended consequence of some of
these are just astronomical. And what's going to end up
happening is smaller landfills are not going to be able

(26:52):
to come by. I mean, nine million dollars is our
entire landfill budget. That's what they'll end up having to
just shut down. And I think that's a a real
disservice for our constituents and you know, and for the
environment quite frankly. And so it's just things like that.
There's we've been again, we're tracking all of this on
our bundit or fixed campaign on Mesa County dot us

(27:14):
and we really go into high level detail from our
department as they just are automatically doing a lot of
this in their budget every year, so this doesn't cost
us more money to keep track of, but it's all
in on the website. We have very detailed account of
where our taxpayer dollars are going, and I think that's

(27:35):
a good resource for anybody to go look out.

Speaker 5 (27:37):
Mason County Commissioner, Bobby Daniel. I appreciate your time, and
of course you're trying to keep it nonpartisan, but I'm
already like, wow, this is kind of a big deal.
So I'll just take that. I'll keep that to myself
and let you keep working on the nine Pattistan side
of it and hopefully you guys can get some financial relief.
I appreciate you making time for me today. Absolutely all right,
Thanks Bobby. Fascinating.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Huh.

Speaker 5 (27:59):
Well, talk about the other implications of this when we
get back the partisan implications. You know when you're young,
When you're young and you can listen to a song
twice and you know every word. Hell not the case anymore,
no no, And in this particular song, she says, I
like my friends with scars matching scars, and I thought

(28:20):
it was matching scarves, and I really also true. Well,
I refuse to look up the lyrics because that just
seems like the cowards way out right. I want to
be bold in my misheard song lyrics, Grant, I want
to be bold. Let's talk for a second a little
bit more about CRS twenty nine dash one dash three
zero four point five. That's the statue that says when

(28:42):
the State of Colorado increases the level of service required
by law, it must also provide adequate funding. If it
fails to do so, counties may legally consider those mandates optional.
You guys, the concealed carry overhaul that the legislature passed
last session for no reason, because that will do nothing
to stop any of the shootings that we've had thus far,

(29:03):
nothing zero zip. All it does is create a poll
tax for people to own a firearm and a hassle
tax as well, and it's going to cost counties of
fortune to comply. And I think that the counties who
are headed by Second Amendment enthusiasts should look into this
and just in the state, Hey, you guys didn't send

(29:25):
us any money for this, So we cannot comply and
we're gonna consider this optional. That'd be pretty amazing. And
I don't know, by the way, if this all matters.
I didn't know anything about CRS twenty nine dash one
dash three oh four point five until today, so it's
not like I'm an expert on CRS twenty nine dash
one dash three oh four point five. But there are
probably people out there who are more experty than me

(29:47):
on this who could kind of weigh in on whether
or not this would be a viable strategy to push
back on some of the overreach that we are seeing
the state engage in.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
Now.

Speaker 5 (29:57):
There was a news story. I didn't even put it
on the blog because I just was so annoyed by it,
not by the news story itself, but just the fact
that it's there. Are there, they're now keeping a list
of counties and cities that are not complying with government
edicts about whatever it is they're edicting about. And the
tone of the column and I don't remember what news

(30:18):
media outlet it was in, to tell you the truth,
but the tone of the column, or at least the story,
is the way I read it was, you know, what
these people are just gonna they're they're gonna miss out
on so much because they're just not doing what they're
supposed to do. And it's like, shut up, to shut
your bi hole. Mandy, Can you please explain to me

(30:38):
why this state has miles of an empty lane just
for the few people that turn into a neighborhood. It's
absolutely infuriating. I don't know the answer to that question,
and I'm not sure I understand that question. So you're
contending that the turn lane is too long for neighborhood
turn ins. Now, how busy is the road they're turning off?

(31:00):
How many people at rush hour are going into that neighborhood?
I have questions, Man, If you can play Taylor Swift
after every break, you can give us big old, hardy
darn tutin every break too. I would, but I forget Mandy.
My wife came home with a new dress the other
day and I said, I bought this dress so you
could take it off. I guess it's a Taylor Swift lyrics.

(31:22):
So yeah, I'm a fan now, oh boy? Yeah yeah, Mandy.
What Taylor Swift era are you? I'm the era that
doesn't care about the eras. I mean, I'd love to
tell you that I painstakingly picked out my outfit for
the Taylor Swift concert based on eras, but I did
not because, again see my earlier statement, do not care.

(31:46):
Do not do not care. Mandy wondering if they have
looked up the additional expenses related to the new wildfire
resilience code additions that took effect in July of this year.
I'm sure that I guess that Mason County Commissioner Bobby
Daniel has probably looked up all of it because she
wanted to get to the bottom of it, and boy

(32:07):
she did, Mandy. I suggested to d Q to start
up a Dubai chocolate blizzard. I'm going to take some
Dubai over there and see if they'll try it. Want
some guys. I've now tried the Dubai chocolate twice and
I don't like it. I don't understand what all the
fuss is about. It's kind of like a glorified kit
Cat bar. Have you tried it? Okay? So well in Dubai,

(32:30):
of course, where everything is a billion dollars, Dubai chocolate
is very exclusive and it was made by one chocolate
shop but Dubai chocolate is let me see from Wikipedia.
It is a style of chocolate bar filled with kadyief,
chopped filo pastry and a pistachio tahini cream. It's got
like a green crunchy field. Now, first of all, I

(32:51):
love filo dough. There's a Middle Eastern dessert called canefe,
I think that's how they say it. And it shredded
philo dough over this cheese, and then they put rosewater
and honey over it. Oh, it is so good. But
this I'm like eh. And one of them was milk chocolate,

(33:12):
which might explain it because I don't really like milk
chocolate anymore. But the other one was dark, and I
still didn't love it, So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
The Mandy Connall Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and Injury Lawyers.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
No, it's Mandy Connell, Andy.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Conaka Ninem god Way.

Speaker 4 (33:37):
And the Nicys Frey, Andy Connall, Keithing, Sad bab Well Local.

Speaker 5 (33:46):
Welcome to the second hour of the show. I'm your host,
Mandy Connell, and that guy over there Pillyan Frey rod
is Grant Smith. He Hello, Jere, I ask you about
the taking it for Granted podcast. You can ask whatever
you want. I don't want to. I don't want to.
You know what's happening.

Speaker 9 (34:02):
There are one hundred and eighty two episodes that you
can find on the free and redesigned iHeartRadio app and
I am thinking about changing topics.

Speaker 5 (34:12):
Really.

Speaker 9 (34:13):
Yeah, I think I completed the mission of taking it
for granted. My goal was to find happiness, and I
am happier than I've ever been.

Speaker 5 (34:20):
There you go.

Speaker 9 (34:21):
So I think I'm gonna I'm gonna keep going until
I get to episode two hundred because I think I have.

Speaker 5 (34:28):
The mission accomplished. Yes, little victory lap. Yeah, but.

Speaker 9 (34:33):
I've got another podcast with a friend who's a financial
advisor in the work, so nice.

Speaker 5 (34:39):
We're thinking about doing something with that. Nice's very nice man.
Day Day ten of the shutdown, and there are now layoffs.
I think this may have been what I voted for. Yep, Mandy,
if you had eras, what would they be? Ooh, it's
an ask me anything kind of day. And that's a
really good question because I just was talking to a
friend of mine that I've known since college. I actually

(35:00):
dated a really good friend of his, got rid of
the boyfriend, but kept him as my friend all of
these many years, and he asked me something about the
guy I was a bunch of guys that I hung
out with like all the time, and he asked me
something about our friend group, and I said, honestly, I
was like, that just feels really far away, like it
almost happened to someone else when I look back at

(35:21):
certain parts of my life. And then, so here are
my eras, as best I could explain them. There would
be the redneck era, which is my childhood, and I
grew up in a redneck area. I mean I just did.
All my friends were rednecks, My boyfriend was a redneck,
we were all we were rednecks. So that'd be the
first era. And then there was the dirty foot hippie era,
which was thankfully short lived. Then there was the flight

(35:44):
attendant era, which was wild and so much fun. And
that went right into the radio era, which is the
longest lasting era of any of those eras. And the
radio era encompasses so much, so so much. I guess
we could divide that into subcategories, the hot talk era,
the sports talk era, the straight news era, the news

(36:06):
talk era, the program director era, various eras I never
knew you were a program director. Yeah, I was program
director of the station in Florida that I took from
zero to number one in the market. How do you
like that job compared to what you do now? What
I Well, the only talent that I had on the
station was me, right, So I was basically like, I

(36:28):
didn't you know, it was all syndicated. It was all paperwork. Honestly,
it was all just paperwork. And whatever I thought of
or asked for from the ownership of the station, I
was always told no. So whatever I actually did, I
did on a wing and a prayer, and usually with
Chuck's help. Like, even before Chuck and I dated, he
was the guy that I went to and I was like, look, dude,
I need forty five pizzas delivered to this location at

(36:51):
this time. And He's like, I got you, And forty
five pizzas would show up and don't ask, don't tell
they're there. Nobody had to pay for them. It was
just you know. That was actually how Chuck and I
became friends. Was he really Oh well, he had Chuck
in Southwest Florida. My husband was the guy who had
a guy right, didn't matter what you needed. He had

(37:11):
a guy. You're like, oh, I need to have someone killed.
I got a guy. Oh I need a cobbler for
my shoes, I got a guy. He was the guy
who had the guy. So whenever you needed something, you'd
be like, Chuck, I need this, and he'd be like, oh,
I got a guy. I got a guy for that.
So that's how we actually became friends. Anyway, Mandy, Tahiti

(37:31):
flavor goes overboard really quickly. Yeah, yeah, I do as well.
I do as well, Mandy. I've tried some fancy, expensive
d you buy chocolate bars, and I just don't get it.
I will just say this about like Middle Eastern sweets
are different than ours. Well, sweets anywhere in the world
are different than our sweets. Like no one puts as
much sugar in their desserts as the United States of America.

(37:55):
You know, like Friends is like, oh, this piste is
too sweet. In America's like hold my beer, I'm gonna
show you too sweet. So yeah, but the Dubai chocolate thing,
I don't really I don't get I just don't Mandy.
It's like your argument for the Zipper method. It's an
entire lane, so use it right or I'm always talking

(38:16):
about the long turn lanes. No, I don't think there's
anything wrong with that. The problem is is that when
you have people traveling at high speed in the lane
that is also a turning lane, and if the lane ends,
they're screwed. But if it doesn't and you have those
people slamming on the brakes, then it creates a big
traffic backup. I'm just saying, Mandy. I'm old enough to

(38:38):
remember when Taylor Swift opened for Dirk's Bentley and George
Straight at the Pepsi Center and her only she had
one hit called Tim McGraw. Yeah, great song. That is
a good song, A very good song, Mandy. As government
firings begin, I hope Republicans get the government they deserve.
Good luck with veterans, disability, social Security, Medicare, et cetera.

(39:00):
You know what if that's the case, you guys, I'm
just gonna say it. When I started here at iHeartMedia
thirteen years ago, we had all four floors of this building.
Currently all of the employees fit on the fourth floor.
And guess what, Friends, every single day, when you turn
your radio on, the same people are making it come
out of the speakers and getting every single thing done

(39:22):
that we have to do in this building, and everybody's
doing fifty jobs now. Everybody's wearing fifty hats now. But
that's what it takes, and that's what's been happening in
the private sector for decades. So if what you're telling
me is that government employees are incapable of picking up
the slack when someone else is let go, then what
does that say about government employees? Sounds to me like

(39:45):
more of them need to go replace them with people
who can actually get things done. The big bad world
is sad and unfortunate, and companies are going to fire
people and they do it all the time. They do
it all the time because they have a bottom line responsibility,
they have fiduciary responsibilities. But the federal government employees never

(40:05):
feel that. To the taxpayers, they never feel that. Maybe
some do. I don't want to disparage all government workers,
but I got to tell you guys, when I was
in college, one of my jobs in college was to
work for the Senate Sergeant at Arms for the state
of Florida. So I worked in the Florida legislature when
I was in college, only during the legislative session that

(40:26):
was incredibly instructive for me, because at the end of
every legislative session, I was watching people that I knew
to be good and decent, people walking out of the
building with cases of copying paper and file folders and
all kinds of office supplies, and I would be like,
what is going on. They're like, Oh, we have to
use it all or we'll lose it next year. I'm like,
but we're not using it. Why are we asking for

(40:48):
the same amount. The mentality of people. If we don't
use it, we lose it. Wow, that makes me crazy.
Absolutely makes me crazy. Mandy, I've had peach cobbler, but
never tried shoe cobbler. It's tough. It's really tough. I
had that that would be good. Yeah, good. Oh, I

(41:10):
tracked you up. Did you know that there's a program
and I can't remember which high school it's in. I
believe it's in Douglas County where they have a cobbler class.
They're teaching kids how to fix shoes. And after getting
a pair of shoes repaired, holy crap, that's a lucrative business.
Of course, you're kind of high all the time from

(41:30):
being around all that glue, But whatever, it's fine, Mandy,
Happy Friday. I just want to let you know that
because of your conversation with a Ron on the show
this week, I removed my Liberty firearms sticker from my car.
My husband was happy. I didn't take it off for
political reasons, but for safety. That's unfortunate, but we talked
about that. If you missed that conversation earlier in the week.
I've been told by multiple law enforcement officers that if

(41:52):
you have a big truck, like an F one fifty
or something that looks like you work in that truck,
or if you have anything pro an Amendment on your car,
your window is more likely to be broken because they're
looking for firearms. So be aware of that. I actually
just put a Sierra Club on the back of my car.
I figured nobody's gonna think I'm packing anything at that point.

(42:15):
I don't even know what Sierra club is. Oh, Sierra
Club is a it's a nature conservancy thing whatever. Reliably
left wing blah blah blah. You go, Mayby. I've been
earwormed by K pop demon hunters. How do you deal
with earworms?

Speaker 7 (42:30):
Now?

Speaker 5 (42:30):
I've heard for a long time that if you have
an earworm and of course, an earworm is when a
song gets stuck in your head that you should just
sing Happy Birthday out loud, like four or five times
and it's supposed to go away. That has never worked
for me, So I have to use the tactic that
I used to use when I would quit smoking, and
I quit smoking often, I always started again, but that
I haven't started again in twenty years. But I'm back

(42:53):
in the day and I would literally smoke so many
cigarettes that the thought of smoking another cigarette made me
just want to all over the place. So just listen
to the song over and over and over and over
and over again until the thought of it sounds like
a violation of the Geneva Convention. But I'm just letting
you know. You may end up hating the song, so

(43:16):
if you like it now, I don't know. Hey, Mandy,
everyone crying about government employees. There's a trucking company today
that told six hundred drivers they no longer have a
job because of bankruptcy. But those people don't matter. Those
people are not running the government. I'm terribly sorry to
hear that. I never like to hear people are losing

(43:36):
their jobs. I'm not even happy to hear that the
real human beings behind those government jobs are now going
to be out of work. I'm not relishing in any
of that, but guys, I have a story on the
blog today about Jamie Diamond and Ray Dalio, two of
the biggest banking and hedge fund guys out there, and
they're both sounding the alarm on our debt our. Debt

(43:58):
is going to bring not just the United States of
America down, it is going to bring the entire world
down with it. And that sounds like I am engaging
in hyperbole, Like I listen to Mandy's just all the
crazy lady out there talking about the sky falling. All
you have to do is no rudimentary history to know
that's how it goes down. We're not as special as

(44:20):
we think we are. Our hubris are normalcy bias, as
they call it. Lets us think that that could never
happen here, very very similar to the fact that we're
all you know, I know that there are people out
there on both the left and the right that are
out there on social media. See you know what we need.
We need a civil war, that's what we need. Yeah,

(44:42):
we need soip war this We need the rest of
us in normal world we understand what an unmitigated disaster
that would be. But how do you think civil wars
get started? How do you think we get to the
to the point where we are picking up arms against
each other. It starts exactly like what we're doing now,

(45:05):
with uprisings against the government, with people getting in the
way of government officials trying to do their jobs, and
government officials pushing back too hard. You know, there's a
very very very unfortunate, unfortunate thing happening right now out
of Chicago, and I talked about it last week, so

(45:26):
I feel like I have to give you the update.
So remember when the ice vehicle said that they were
blocked in by ten people and they were locked in
place by ten cars and it got out and there
was a gunfight that ensued. Well, now body camera footage
is throwing all of that into question. And I haven't
seen the body camera footage, and I haven't seen the
on you know, all of the body camera footage. So

(45:47):
I am not out here saying that the you know
that I know, or can make any real statements about
what went down. But if what's being said is remotely accurate,
then the government has stepped and it's going to create
more justification for violence against ice agents. This is how
a civil war starts. It doesn't start with you know,

(46:09):
like you and your neighbor drawing a line between your
houses and you putting on blue and inputting on gray.
It starts in a much more subtle way, and it
starts very very slowly until it starts quickly. And I
fear that we are getting to the end. It starts
quickly part And I just want you to, guys, to
think about this, because I've been thinking about this a
lot lately. I've been thinking there's a whole stew of

(46:31):
stuff in the world right now that we have to
look at in the exact same through the same lens
to see the whole picture. There's a story that someone
sent me and said to Mandy, how do you feel
about this? The Pentagon is hosting Katari at fifteen fighter
jets and pilots at an Idaho Air Base for training
for F fifteen pilot training. Guys, I don't trust Katar

(46:54):
as far as I can throw it, and I'm talking
about the whole country. I don't trust them. They have
did billions of dollars in our university system here and
now we have a bunch of students who hate Israel.
Do you know why we're getting a deal right now?
This is I firmly believe this. The only reason we're
getting a deal right now in Israel is not because

(47:15):
Hamas is feeling the pressure to comitulate. It's because we
killed HAMAS members in Qatar. We bombed their little apartment complex.
Qatar is one of the biggest sponsors of terror in
the world, and we've given them an inn. In the
United States of America. I mean, I look at all
of this stuff together and then I think to myself,

(47:35):
We've got this massive debt, we have these incredibly advanced
warfighters that rely on chips from Taiwan that China is
about to take over. And at the same time, we
have all of this anger and foment, just fomenting a
violence here in the United States of America. Who's driving
that violence? If it were you know, if I were

(47:57):
a betting woman, I'd say China is behind a good
bit of it. Maybeusia's driving some of it too. And
then you have the useful idiots in the United States
on both sides of the aisle, the useful idiots that
are running around saying we need civil war because if
we're fighting against each other, the rest of the world's
bad guys can do whatever they want if you sew

(48:19):
division as Abraham Lincoln's so, it's so beautiful. A house
divided falls, and that's the easiest way to knock off
the big dog on the block, is to get them
fighting amongst themselves. It's really kind of a genius, a
stroke of evil, maniacal like spector level genius. But I
really believe that there's some of that going on. If

(48:41):
I'm China, if I'm Russia, why wouldn't you. It'd be
the easiest thing in the world. Anyway, Thank you Texter,
who just apologized. So I appreciate that, but I did
not take that personally. I just assumed you had been
affected by the layoffs and we're wishing ill on me
for that. But I do appreciate the apology. Mandy, I'm

(49:02):
sure there's a lot of very unqualified ICE elegeants. Wait,
let me try that again. I'm sure there's a lot
of very unqualified ICE agents out there. I can't think
that they're vetting them very well as fast as they're
hiring them. I agree. I don't know what to do
about that. Mandy, You're spot on with our debt. I
try to talk about the interest on the debt. It

(49:24):
can be a relatable way to get the point across.
But people really believe. I mean you guys, there's a
huge chunk of people in the United States of America
that think the government gets all of its money from
just printing it. And they don't understand why the government,
if they have all this debt, why they can't just
print more money. They have no idea the connection between

(49:47):
the stimmy checks that they were happy to get and
the inflation that followed it. The level of economics education
that most kids get and understand in K through twelve,
you could fit on the head of a thumbtack. And
that's why they really don't understand that everything that the
government is doing is going to drag the entire country down.

(50:07):
Because we've already passed the point where our debt service
is larger than our discretionary spending for what is it
for defense? It's larger than the entire defense budget. It's crazy.
It's absolutely crazy. Mandy, Trump and Ice create chaos. Then
declared they had to step in and solve the situation.

(50:30):
They created. This undoubtedly is authoritarianism. If this were happening
anywhere else in the world, we would call it by
its name. Except guys, Respectfully, I'm not trying to be
salty with you. I'm just saying we are here because
the prior administration, with no complaint I'm guessing from you,
let fourteen fifteen million people come across the southern border.

(50:52):
Some of them are really horrible people. Some of them
have raped and murdered people in this country. Some of
them are continuing to run criminal exercises in this country.
And because of that, because of the sheer volume of
people they allowed to come across the southern border, sometimes
you have to use a hammer when you would prefer
to use something smaller. And unfortunately, and I don't like

(51:15):
this either. They are going to be good people whose
only crime was breaking into the country and possibly stealing
someone's social Security number. But other than that, they've been
upstanding people and doing the right We all want those
people to have a chance, which is why I'm supporting
Gabe Evans' immigration reform bill. But to say that somehow

(51:36):
this was created by the Trump administration is disingenuous at
best and a blatant lie at worst. Now, imagine if
the cities and towns actually worked with immigrations and customs enforcement.
Imagine how we could make the process far more orderly

(51:57):
if local law enforcement agencies were allowed to coordinate and say, hey, guys,
there's a whole bunch of what we think are trendy
Aragua gang members over there. Imagine imagine if the people
who are actually in the community could direct ICE to
where the bad guys are. But instead we have left
wing mayors scoring political points that are helping to create

(52:19):
a situation where ICE has no on the ground intelligence
from these cities and are just trying to get bad
people off and they're gonna sweep up good people too.
So before you sit on your left wing high horse,
you need to realize its legs were chopped off some
time ago and you're just sitting on the ground with
the rest of us. Okay, but I appreciate you reaching out, Mandy.

(52:41):
Time for government lifers to find out what it's like
to be the taxpayer they've been fleecing for decades. I
don't want to be spiteful about it, guys. I want
them all to go into the private sector and become
wonderful productive parts of capitalist endeavors that create a vibrant
economy going forward. But I don't want to support people
that have created a bloated government. So here I am.

(53:05):
I wish them well. I want them all to be
well and do well. But yeah, government has to get smaller.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
Lol.

Speaker 5 (53:12):
You're okay with them stealing a Social Security number?

Speaker 2 (53:15):
What?

Speaker 5 (53:15):
I didn't really say I was okay with it. I
just said they didn't commit any other crimes. I'm just
you know, I'm trying to work with me here, work
with me, Mandy. Something needed to be done about immigration,
for sure. I'm not part of the ultra left group
like you like to lump people into if they disagree
with Trump, but not in this way. Overstepping their authority

(53:36):
Zip time children by masked agents being paid ridiculous amounts
of money to have carte blanche at their gleeful rounding
up of the brown and black, with Christy gag Gnome
posing at every opportunity. This is frightening, Blank, and you
have to know you can't be so blinded by Fox
News and ultra conservative propaganda that you can't see the
dangerous path this administration is taking. There are no more

(53:58):
checks and balances is a vindictive and evil and small.
If Biden uttered half the nonsensical crap that Trump does,
they'd have carted him off in a straight jacket, except
they were ignoring his obvious frailty instead. And you just
did exactly to me what you accused me of doing.
To you, guys, I don't even look at the Fox

(54:18):
News website. I really don't, just like I don't look
at MSNBC or CNN because it's just propaganda. Just because
it's propaganda I agree with doesn't mean that it's not propaganda.
So that you just did the exact same thing. I look, guys,
I don't disagree with you, but I want you to
explain to me exactly how you're going to give fourteen

(54:43):
million people who should have never been allowed in the
country by the prior administration. They should have been stopped
at the border. How are you gonna do How are
you gonna do that for fourteen million people? Honestly, genuinely,
I'm asking that question because if you have a better
solution other than let them all stay, then please hit

(55:05):
me up. Let me know how you'd figure this out.
A lot of the people that are being removed now
already have an order of deportation, an old order of
deportation that was never acted on. So what we've got
right now is the Trump administration deporting people who have
a deportation order that no other administration has followed up on.

(55:27):
This is you know, this is the thing, you guys,
This is kind of I mean, what do you do here?
What is your better solution? Ask them all to self
deport I would have already done that, and I think
some have self deported. So you know, I tell me
what your idea is better? Just tell me what your

(55:48):
better idea is. Mandy who plays the horse neighing sounds
at the home Bronco games. I don't know the answer
to that question. If our production director, the crack Alan
Jackson is listening, I believe that's the guy who must
do the stadium announcements. Now we know that they have

(56:10):
the big stadium announcement booming voice. But he has a
producer that is, you know, opening the microphone doing that stuff.
But I don't know. I'm gonna see if I can
find out. No, that would be very good. Has Mandy's
entire career been on iHeartMedia? No, it has not although
my first job was with I interned with clear Channel

(56:32):
in Miami, and then I transferred my internship up to
clear Channel Orlando. But then I got hired by a
station that was JAKORR. But then was while I was
getting hired, it was being bought by what was in
clear Channel. Clear Channel is what iHeartMedia used to be called.
And then after that, I worked for Entercom at the time,

(56:55):
which was now Odyssey, and then I went back and
then I worked for a mom and pop in Southwest
Florida that isn't a big company. And then I went
back to work for what was then Clear Channel, which
then turned into iHeart Media. So I've I've worked for
big companies, I've worked for mom and pop companies. They

(57:16):
both have advantages and disadvantages. I prefer working for a
big company over a mom and pop though, I'm just
straight up, you know, as uncertain as it is, I
prefer it. We have access to a lot of stuff
through iHeart Media and with the iHeart Radio app, people
can hear my show all over the country, so you
know that's it. And Mandy, how do you get them

(57:38):
out when half the people are protecting them? That's a
great question. And again, were if we were just talking
about the rule of law, if we could just get
everybody on the same page, if the Democrats would just say, hey,
you know what, we really do want to get illegal
aliens who are breaking the law and creating havoc and

(57:58):
selling drugs and women. We really do want to get
those people out of this country. And then instead, as
I was making the point earlier, instead of blocking Ice,
saying hey, Ice right over there, take care of that
for me, utilize the opportunity to have Ice do the
dirty work for you and your communities and your towns.

(58:18):
I firmly believe that one of the reasons our crime
rate in Colorado is so high is because we got
so many illegal immigrants because of our welcoming status. Now,
do not take what I just said to mean that
I think all illegal immigrants are criminals. That is not
at all what I mean. I genuinely have compassion for
the moms and dads and the families who just recognize

(58:41):
that they live in garbage dump countries in the Central
and you know, South America, and they want a better
life for their families. Like I get that one hundred percent,
and they feel like their best option is to break
into the country to try and chase that American dream.
But we also got more than our share of criminal
element I really, I mean, haven't we seen that? Do

(59:02):
you see a bunch of other cities with apartment complexes
being taken over? I'm just saying anyway, Mandy, don't forget
there were approximately eleven or twelve million illegal aliens before
the Biden administration's shale break that took place. I've seen
numbers that it's as high as twenty million that came
in under by a total came in under or maybe

(59:24):
thirty million. I don't know. Also, people fail to realize
that illegal aliens are entitled to call, are entitled to
Article two due process. Citizens and legal residents are entitled
to Article three due process. And the difference is substantial.
And that difference Dagnevitt, that's a that's a voice to

(59:45):
text her right there. And I have nothing but love
for you voice to text or I use it all
the time, but sometimes sometimes, Mandy, how do you fix
immigration is let them be sex slaves, uneducated? What let
them work for under the table wages? Basically treat them
like slaves. Wait, that's the left's way of solving immigration. Okay,
there you go, Mandy. What's your favorite pizza in Colorado?

(01:00:11):
And thick or thin? I am more of a thin,
frust person. I gotta tell you. My favorite pizza as
of late has been Woodies in Golden I love that place.
I don't know what it is about Woodies. First of all,
they have a good salad bar. I missed a salad bar.

Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
Man.

Speaker 5 (01:00:27):
You used to be able to go anywhere and get
a salad bar, and now it's like a needle in
a haystack. And don't get me wrong, I managed a
restaurant when I was in college that had a massive
salad bar and just keeping that thing clean and at
the right temperature was fifty fresh layers of hell. Lots
and lots of food poisoning comes from a salad bar.

(01:00:48):
Do you guys know that? Oh yeah, oh yeah. A
lot of people who work in food safety will not
eat a salad in a restaurant because Lettuce. I don't care.
I throw caution in the wind. If it's my time
to get food poisoning, it's my time to get food poisoning.
I don't care. By the way, textter is reminding me
of something I forgot to point out about that last

(01:01:10):
gentleman long text, and that is there's no kids being
zip tied and hauled off. There's a video of a
black policeman arresting his young son, all in fun and
I believe it's not even in America. It was in
America and the dad was playing cops and robbers with
his little boy, and so he hooked him up, hooked
him up because they were playing cops and robbers and

(01:01:32):
the little boy was a robber, so they put the
cuffs on him. I saw the dad laughing about the
fact that his video has been made to be anything else.
What is California Dream pizza with a little bit of
honey on It is awesome. I love what he's pizza.
I really do. Anybody knows the people who owned that joint,
tell them I said, thank you, Mandy, creamy or chunky

(01:01:55):
peanut butter. And if you don't say chunky, you're wrong.
It depends on what I'm eating. On occasion, I will
be like, you know what this means, little creamy peanut butter,
But generally speaking, I'm a chunky peanut butter person. COVID
killed the salad bar. No, it didn't. It was dying
before that, y'all. But I will tell you when Sweet
Tomatoes closed, that felt like a death to me. It's like,

(01:02:17):
because there's soups at Sweet Tomatoes were so good. Somebody
did point out Jason Stlly does have a phenomenal salad bar.
We actually eat there quite a bit, Mandy. If you
tried Binos pizza and Kyowa very tasty. I don't make
it to Kiowa very often, I am. I do not,
so yeah, yeah, Mandy. As an aside, how delightfully ironic

(01:02:45):
that Machada from Venezuela was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Yes,
I have that on the blog today, and I gotta
tell you, I think that Trump and the Trump fans
are absolutely justified in being salty about the Nobel Prize
because not only are we now at a point where
we may or may not have a ceasefire that wold

(01:03:05):
in Israel will have to wait and see what Amasa does.
But you guys, Donald Trump has negotiated peace in two
long standing conflicts that had been going on for decades.
And I know he says I've stopped six wars or
seven wars, but the reality is is that the Armenian
conflict and the conflict in the Congo. Those have been

(01:03:27):
going on for decades and he helped negotiated a piece
for that alone, he should get the Nobel Peace Prize.
Forget this stuff going on in Israel and Gaza. So
it really just goes to prove how useless the Nobel
Peace Prize. Just remember it was this week, some many
years ago that it was given to one president Barack Obama,

(01:03:47):
who had done wait for it, absolutely nothing and they
gave him the Nobel Peace Prize. But I'm sure there's
no politics in it at all. I mean, this Nobel
Prize committee, they are probably just right down the middle,
no bias whatsoever. None. Now, to be clear, it's super

(01:04:07):
awesome that Maria Corina Machado, the Venezuelan opposition leader, was
recognized for her work in trying unsuccessfully to bring democracy
to Venezuela. Don't get me wrong, I'm not taking anything
away from her at all, but I think it's a
little premature for her to get a peace prize when

(01:04:29):
she hasn't actually brought peace to anywhere. But we all
knew this award was garbage for a long time. It
just you know, but this pretty much proves it.

Speaker 8 (01:04:41):
Right.

Speaker 5 (01:04:41):
If there was anything that, if there was any nail
in the coffin that they still needed they just really did,
then they can go ahead, uh and make it this one.

Speaker 6 (01:04:49):
Now.

Speaker 5 (01:04:50):
You could make the argument that, well, we don't have
peace to the Middle East yet that day, and that's fair.
But that's why I'm focusing on the other things that
he has done to bring peace to regions that have
been at war for forever. That in and of itself,
should you know, Oh wait, the Abraham Accords. Ever heard
of those? I mean, dude is racked up some pretty

(01:05:10):
big foreign policy wins. And here's the thing, like, there
are things Donald Trump does that make me absolutely insane,
like the federal government buying parts of companies. No thank you,
no thank you, no thank you. I don't need your
soft socialism because I'm supposed to agree with it. But
his foreign policy, as bombastic and in your face as

(01:05:34):
it has been, has been the most effective foreign policy
that I can remember in my lifetime, is certainly since
the fall of the Iron Curtain. And to not recognize
him with the actual award that is supposed to be
about bringing peace to the world is absurd. And ridiculous

(01:05:54):
and meant to be insulting. Anyway, Mandy, it does mean
you have to re write your message leaving out what
I don't know what that is, Mandy, Peanut butter and
maloney is the bomb. Don't knock it till you try it.
There's a lot of texture things happen in there that
I don't know if i'd be down with. Yeah, I don't. Hey,

(01:06:15):
I don't know about that, do not know. I know
I've not tried Tanti's pizza in Parker. I will check
that out, Mandy. I think I heard they make the
Nobel decision early in the year. I agree about Obama
being awarded the prize. He hadn't earned it yet. He
never earned it. He never earned it. He did more
bombing indiscriminately than Trump ever has. Anyway, Oh, nominations may

(01:06:40):
have closed a few months ago. I don't know. We'll see.
Maybe I'll have to walk all this back next year,
and I'll be happy to next year when it happens,
if it does.

Speaker 1 (01:06:52):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock,
accident and injury lawyers.

Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
No, it's Mandy connelln.

Speaker 4 (01:07:06):
Sah got way say Niceys through three, Bendycnald keeping no
real sad Bab, Welcome Local, Welcome to the.

Speaker 5 (01:07:19):
Third hour of the show. I have big news for you,
people who love Sir Paul McCartney. He's playing tomorrow ed
at coors Field. I do not have tickets that I
am not going because, oh my gosh, have you checked
the aftermarket? Crazy? Well pull them up right now, pull
up look stub ub or something. Let's let's just do
a quick look see of what Paul McCartney tickets are

(01:07:39):
going for right now at Coursfield. And you know, here's
the little dirty truth about Coursfield. Most of the time
when you go see a concert, like if you go
to a concert at Ballerina, there's not really any bad
seats in Ballerina for a show. There's seats where you're
going to be further away, but it doesn't necessarily make
them bad seats. There are bad seats for a concert

(01:08:00):
at course Field. There just is the lower bowl seats
that are at the very top of the bowl. The
music does something weird when it hits the overhang and
it is not great. What are we looking at, Grant,
What do we got for Sir Paul McCartney in the
aftermarket right now. We're looking anywhere from or sorry, one

(01:08:23):
hundred thirty five dollars. It's not bad. Where are those
way up? Hi all the way at the top. But
you know what, those are not bad seats for a
course field shot. Yes, the one hundred level seats. If
you're in the wrong one hundred level seat, the sound
is awful. And some of those one hundred level seats
seven hundred twenty two ago. What are floor seats going for? See?

(01:08:43):
You can find that section. It looks like floor. There's
some steals what to forty five, But if you're in
the back of the floor, you can't see anything unless
you're me and chuck a one and a two.

Speaker 9 (01:08:54):
Shut up two thirty three amazing, it says on step
up that feels like a five three is anywhere from
four to five hundred is the average in the front?

Speaker 5 (01:09:06):
Yeah, there you go. Yeah, I just I'm I'm I'm
not doing that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:10):
For ninety.

Speaker 9 (01:09:12):
All the way in the far corner. So you won't
get to see him. You'll get to hear him, No
you won't.

Speaker 5 (01:09:17):
I've had those seats once. They were kind of angled
from the stage. Nope, you won't. You won't, you really won't,
but only ninety nine bucks. Well, there's a reason just saying.
I've never understood that at a concert you go and
you can't even see the person. I've actually been in
concerts where I had floor seats that were so far
back I could not see any of the concert, but

(01:09:39):
I still enjoyed it. But at least in those seats
you get the whole in the organism, and that makes
it fine. And both of the concerts were were you know,
where everybody was up dancing right, so it was a
lot of fun. But that's Those were the last two
floor concerts that I bought because of that real. Oh no,
we got elo front row floor seats not too many

(01:09:59):
years ago. But the floor seats suck if you're more
than ten rows back. I think that sound soundboard tickets, yeah,
sixty dollars. You know why, because those people know it's
going to sound amazing. When you're right by the soundboard,
you are going to get the best audio ever. Mandy
is a redneck ever sit on a guy's shoulders in

(01:10:20):
a haltertop at a concert?

Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
Y'all?

Speaker 5 (01:10:22):
I have been five to tens since the ninth grade.
I have never, outside of a chicken fight in a pool,
been on a man's shoulders ever. I think the better
question is, has a man ever been on your shoulders?

Speaker 9 (01:10:35):
You know what?

Speaker 5 (01:10:35):
In all honesty, not in a concert, but it's all
together possible.

Speaker 2 (01:10:39):
Grant.

Speaker 5 (01:10:41):
So, anyway, is Mandy Connell tall? I'm not. I'm not
super tall anymore, but when I was younger it was hard.
I've been five tens since the ninth grade. There you go, Mandy,
just emailed you a great article. Letitia James finally becomes
I am Sandwich. What has been fascinating to watch about
the Letitia James story, and this texture is correct she

(01:11:03):
has been indicted for mortgage fraud. Is to see the
people on the left who happily supported her when she
ran for Attorney General on a platform of getting Donald
Trump now contort themselves to tell us that this is
a malicious, politically motivated prosecution. Oh gosh, it's fun. It

(01:11:28):
is fun, Mandy. All the seats at Corusfield are bad seats.
We were on the floor for Motley Crue and the
sound suck.

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
Now.

Speaker 5 (01:11:35):
I don't know how long ago you saw Motley Crue,
but I saw Motley Crue back in the day. And
I've seen Motley Crue several times over the last ten
to fifteen years, and we can all agree that Motley
Crue does not sound good period. Wherever you see them,
they have the sound cranked up so loud so you
cannot hear that. The lead singer, whose name escapes me,

(01:11:56):
cannot sing anymore, You can't sing at all anymore. What's
his name? Why he's got blonde here? What thatck is
his name? Vince Neil? I don't need you to look
that up. I just had to get my librarian working
up there.

Speaker 9 (01:12:08):
I was so excited for a concert earlier this summer
at Red Rocks, which usually the sound is always imperfect. Yeah,
Rocks and the Black Keys, Ohio band, awesome rock band.

Speaker 5 (01:12:16):
Never seen him before. But there a jamband, aren't they?

Speaker 6 (01:12:19):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:12:20):
Okay, good? No, I'm so sick of the jam band.

Speaker 9 (01:12:22):
But they had the lead singer's guitar because he also
plays lead guitar, had it up so loud that it
was drowning out his vocals. And I was like, I
don't know if this is intentional, this is what the
guy wants, but it made it sound so bad.

Speaker 5 (01:12:37):
I saw an interview with someone that works at Red Rocks,
and they're not like the soundboard person. But they said,
and this was many, this was right when I first
got here, And in the interview they essentially said, hey,
we have people that are used to doing sound for
Red Rocks, and it's shocking how many bands are like, No,
our guys got it. Yeah, and I think that's probably
so it might have been. And our guys got it,

(01:12:58):
and we're not going to listen to the professions that
are provided to understand the acoustics at Red Rocks. Mandy,
talk about being tall. I'm six three, My wife is
six foot, our son is six'. Ten that's a tall
drink of, water your son right. THERE i was concerned
that q was going to be freakishly, tall Because chuck
is six four And i'm five to. Ten but she's.

(01:13:21):
Not she's just a little shorter THAN i am, now
very taller THAN i. Think she's kind of done. GROWING

An italian. Dumpling. Mandy for the upcoming, elections how CAN

(01:16:36):
i tell if someone is supported by the teachers? Union, Guy,
Guys i'm gonna do Something i've never done. BEFORE i
hope to have it done By. Monday i'm going to
try and do a school board election guide because this
school board election is so holy cow so important in
so many, districts there are opportunities to make a real

(01:16:58):
impact on the makeup of some school. Boards, denver you
guys have the best opportunity you've had in years to
scrape off some of these race and victims centered ideology
people that are on The Denver public School board that
only care what color someone is and not how well they.
Perform Jefferson, county you guys have an, opportunity and you've

(01:17:20):
got apparently one of the people on the school board
race In Jefferson county that's back by the, union And
i'll have these names On monday for. You one of
them is his mom is one of the people in
the union who advocated the teachers lie about asking children
their sexual preference questions that were. Banned Douglas county incredibly

(01:17:42):
critical school board. Election and if you are In Douglas
county and you think that our high performing school district
is doing a good, job you need to pay attention
because there are four candidates who are endorsed by the
union because they think the union thinks that they are
going to give them the best chance to bring back
a collective bargaining, agreement, which by the, way if you
care about student, PERFORMANCE i don't think we need because

(01:18:05):
we're doing just buy without. One so school board elections
very very. Important and there you. Go can you text
me your phone? Number you set it way too fast
And i'm. Driving you know. Why i'm not going to do.
That it gives you an unfair. ADVANTAGE i will do.
