Episode Transcript

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

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

Speaker 3 (00:10):
On KA ninety one FM.

Speaker 4 (00:15):
Got Way, the Nice Three, Andy Connell, Sad Bab Welcome,
We welcome to.

Speaker 5 (00:28):
A Monday edition of the show.

Speaker 6 (00:29):
I am your host for the next three hours, Mandy
Connell and I am joined by my right hand man.
You can call him Anthony Rodriguez.

Speaker 5 (00:37):
I call him a Rod.

Speaker 7 (00:38):
Victory Monday, Manurians Victory Monday.

Speaker 6 (00:43):
It is an a Rod. And we're just talking off
the air about how this was the most just satisfying
game to watch as a Broncos fan. It was just
a dominating performance. I don't think the score shows nearly
as much of what what it actually was, you.

Speaker 5 (01:02):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 6 (01:04):
And it was a it was less of a heart attack,
less of our heart a heart attack.

Speaker 5 (01:11):
So much today, Yeah, it's nice. Huh.

Speaker 6 (01:15):
Yes, it feels like now eleven and two is a
real eleven and two.

Speaker 5 (01:19):
Yeah, because last month's brutal, brutal, Yeah, brutal.

Speaker 6 (01:25):
Anyway, so we're gonna talk a little bit. We'll talk
a little bit about that. The big story for us
here at Koa. I think, in addition to the Broncos win,
is that we have to give a big old shout
out to our man, our man in the afternoon, who
is by far the greatest high school football coach in
Colorado history in my opinion.

Speaker 7 (01:45):
I mean, you might be able to expand that upon
to the entire country.

Speaker 6 (01:50):
Well, there are football coaches in Florida that have been
coaching the same team for forty years and have.

Speaker 5 (01:54):
Won like twenty championships.

Speaker 6 (01:57):
But Dave Blows and his Cherry Creek team just brought
back Dave's thirteenth state championship over all of the schools
that he's coached at. So that is absolutely impressive. I'm
sure he won't come on the show early so we can,
you know, congratulate him in person. But he's not in today.

Speaker 5 (02:14):
Is he off today?

Speaker 6 (02:15):
He will be on just for a segment day, Okay, yeah, okay,
So congrats to Dave. Logan is just super, super impressive.
And Dave is one of those people and honestly, if
I'm telling the truth, I kind of hate him for
this a little bit. Dave Logan is one of those
people that whatever he decides to do, he does it

(02:35):
at the highest.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
Level, like he would come in and sweep you and
of the Day day one. Well, he won't come in
and play of the Day. No, but he does want
to embarrass you. I know, I know.

Speaker 6 (02:44):
But he's one of those people that whatever he decides
he is going to do, he doesn't just do it
half assed.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
He does it. And if he's never done it spectacularly, if.

Speaker 7 (02:53):
He's never done it like of the Day, it's the
allure of he probably would dominate.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
You don't know, he just probably.

Speaker 6 (02:59):
Would maybe maybe not. Mandy, can we get a big
old victory Monday? Darn tutin?

Speaker 5 (03:04):
You bet it? Darntutin?

Speaker 8 (03:05):
We can?

Speaker 6 (03:07):
Yeah, there you go, Mandy? What heard the Mandy theme?
What happened in no ai on?

Speaker 5 (03:11):
iHeart?

Speaker 6 (03:12):
I'm glad you brought that up. Here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna do the blog and then I'm gonna come
back and we have to do a little focus grouping
you guys.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
I need your help.

Speaker 6 (03:19):
I'm trying to figure out how to do a contest
to replace our theme song, and I have some questions
that I'm gonna ask a rod and then we can
kind of put this whole contest together. So we can replace.
We'll put some AI out of work. Okay, Ty, the
guy who wrote the song is all about this. He
thinks this is fantastic because he wrote the lyrics. So
we've got to figure out what that's gonna look like
to make that happen. No, Mandy will still ruin the

(03:42):
day for those who don't understand it. So we don't know,
but let's go to the blog for a moment. Find
the blog by going to mandy'sblog dot com. That's mandy'sblog
dot com where you can find the latest post section.
And in that latest post section, you can look for
the headline that says twelve eight twenty five blogs. And
just so people know, those numbers are not random, that's

(04:05):
the date.

Speaker 5 (04:07):
Okay. Someone really sent me an email no, no, no, no.

Speaker 6 (04:12):
Asking why I skipped numbers on Friday to Monday, and
I was like, well, you do realize that is the
date that I was just moving to me.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
No, I wouldn't either.

Speaker 6 (04:25):
I was kind, I was kind, but but yeah, I
was like, m yeah, yeah, I'm stupid. Yeah, it's okay,
though I didn't judge you because you were trying, right,
they were trying anyway, find the blog that says twelve
eight twenty five blog politicizing every Colorado department and beer
for veterans. Click on that and here are the headlines

(04:47):
you will find within.

Speaker 7 (04:48):
I think Office half of American alwerships and clipments and
that's going to press.

Speaker 6 (04:52):
Plant today on the blog when a simple government agency
gets corrupted by politics, Brewers help vets with beer. Marjorie
Taylor Green on sixty minutes is interesting and yet Trump
demands loyalty from everyone. Which states pay the most for electricity?
Congrats to the goat Dave Logan Wolfree introduction hits a snag,

(05:14):
AMC is offering holiday classics and now dogs reading their
owners after a long time away. My apologies to Peta. No,
this is not a voucher program scrolling. They may have
its own medicaid issues.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
There's not a sneeze, sorr.

Speaker 6 (05:31):
I know there was no sneeze. My apologies. May may
have its own medicaid issues. The Golden Globe nominees are out.
What music does Denver listen to? Notre Dame gets the
FSU treatment. Lowe's goes all out for a team member.
Trump wants football to change its name. Does anyone really
need a Soccer Piece Prize. Garrett Bowles is our Walter
Payton nominee. I can't imagine why people think Republicans are racist.

(05:54):
Australia bands kids under sixteen from social media. Just Joe
being Joe and this is the most hoosier interview in
the world. Zuotopia True Too is crushing it. Garrett Bowles

Those are headlines on the blog at mandy'sblog dot com

(06:18):
tick Tech two.

Speaker 8 (06:22):
Winner.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
Thank you Nancy. She appreciated that you still got through
despite this.

Speaker 6 (06:25):
Yes, it is not Mandy's ruing the day. I rarely
rue the day. And if I was going to rue
the day, I would not rue the day until the
end of the day, and then I would look back
and say, oh no, I'd rue that day. But I
don't rue the day. I really don't even a bad day.
I don't ruin it. That's you know, when you say
a word enough times and it starts to sound weird.

(06:47):
Rue now sounds weird. I'm ruining the I'm not ruining anything. Mandy,
was you mind addressing the sixty minutes interview of Marjorie
Taylor Green last night. I appreciate it. I absolutely will.
We'll do that in a bit, just a moment. But
I want to talk very quickly about replacing our theme song.
And here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to

(07:09):
We're going to have a contest where people can submit
their version of the theme song. Now, I want to
be clear about this. I'm not looking for a new
theme song. I love this theme song and I think
people love the theme song as well. But if you
want to reimagine the theme song a little bit using
the same words, I am completely okay with that. Now,

(07:29):
the winner of this is going to be able to
come in to studio, see our studio that is right
below my seat, right here where I'm sitting, and record
your version of the song. So if you just have
a Now, we don't have a band for you. We
really don't, and so you're going to have to figure
out how to come in and actually have a band
play because we don't have a band for you. We're

(07:50):
really putting the onus of this on you. But this
is your chance to shine. You'll be given a credit
and zero dollars. Hey, Ron, how many dollars will they
get if they submit at this and we use it
negative zero dollars? We may make you to pay. That's
a good point, a Rod. We could make people pay
to enter, then you would be getting negative dollars, So

(08:12):
we are going to try to do that. I will
have some former rules. I got to sit down with
our promotions person and find out what we need to
do to make this happen. I'm also trying to get
some other kind of prizes. I just think it would
be cool and everyone will have the chance.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
To submit their song.

Speaker 6 (08:29):
By the way, I've already been told to have people
working on it, but here are.

Speaker 5 (08:32):
The basic rules so far. The basic rules are.

Speaker 6 (08:35):
Don't change the words, but you can change the styling
of the song if you would like. And if you
don't know what that means, then perhaps you're not advanced
enough to actually do that in the you know, I'm
just saying it's not ruining the day. Mandy, please make
sure the new song has the word libtard in it. No,

(08:57):
the word libtard does not appear in the theme song
and ever will will not. Mandy, you need two versions
of your theme song the official Mandy Connell version and
the version where Randy Cromwell ruins the day. Think of
it like a weird al version. I will accept that.
I will accept your entries for the Randy Cromwell theme song.

(09:19):
I'm perfectly fine do that. But if you have any
suggestions or you want to know how to enter, please
just come on in.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Hello.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
My friends from Mercedes are standing outside. Just san Hello.

Speaker 6 (09:31):
I'll be out in a minute. I'll be out in
a minute. So that is what we're doing with our
theme song. And does KBCO know you are letting someone
use their studio?

Speaker 8 (09:41):
See?

Speaker 6 (09:41):
Yes, And I'm not the only one. It's kind of
iHeart studio. See it's not necessarily kbco's studio se.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
Although they do use it the most.

Speaker 6 (09:50):
So if you already run this up the chain of
command with the with the higher ups, and I said,
this is what I want to do.

Speaker 5 (09:56):
If you guys.

Speaker 6 (09:57):
Knew the enter corporate kerfuffle that I created by answering
an email from a big muckety muck and iHeart you
would laugh hysterically as I did. Apparently, when you get
a big edict email from the muckety MUCKs, they don't
like you. To respond, and I did with a question,
and it set off this huge cavalcade of events, and

(10:18):
now we are going to have a new theme song asap. Mandy,
try the word sneakers about ten times, and it's definitely
not a word. Sneakers. Sneakers, sneakers. I rue the day
I bought those sneakers. I love sneakers. I were sneakers
most days. Right today, I have loafers on.

Speaker 5 (10:38):
I mean now, I want to know why are they
called sneakers? Because you sneak around in them.

Speaker 6 (10:42):
That's what I do with my catlike reflexes, and I
tiptoe around. You don't even hear me coming with sneakers on.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
The shoes I have on.

Speaker 6 (10:50):
Now you'll hear me coming because there's a little bit squeaky.
So all sneaker heads are creeps. All sneaker heads are stealthy. Well,
that's a lot nicer way of saying creepy. Well, that's
why I'm a sketcher's head. Did you see that the
bottom has fallen out of the sneaker market? Now, for
many of you in my listening audience, you may not
know that the sneaker market is extremely lucrative and there

(11:15):
are people who have vast collections of sneakers going back
to like Jordan ones, and then occasionally they'll put them
on the market, and some of these athletic shoes sell
for like five seven thousand dollars.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
Ye on the sneaker market.

Speaker 6 (11:28):
Well, apparently the bottom has collapsed out of the sneaker market.
Nobody's buying, nobody's selling, and things that used to sell
for five hundred dollars are now being sold for like
one hundred dollars.

Speaker 5 (11:38):
You could say the bottom of the souls is starting
to wear.

Speaker 6 (11:41):
The soul has fallen out of the sneaker market.

Speaker 5 (11:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (11:46):
Manby hoping for a big band version from a local
high school, that would be cool, That would be cool.

Speaker 7 (11:50):
I mean my first inclination is clearly before even someone
steps foot in here, we have to have samples. Oh
of course, So I think we need to just take
in some samples, and I mean we get to choose
your favorite obviously.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (12:06):
So I mean again, we're work shopping this focus grouping
this on air. I'm immediately thinking, I want to see
two things from somebody. I want to see one verse
written and well the.

Speaker 5 (12:19):
Verses should stay the same. Are going to say the same.
I want the same the lyrics. Well, this is easy.
Then I want the same lyrics. This is very easy.

Speaker 6 (12:26):
So tomorrow when I put out the official here's how
you enter the contest, I will include the lyrics, so
you will have the lyrics. I want the same lyrics.
I just want them to reimagine it with real people.

Speaker 7 (12:36):
Paul, this is very easy than Mandy Connell. Yeah, people
have the podcast. They can listen and record and listen
to our intro as it currently is, with the lyrics
as currently is, and.

Speaker 5 (12:46):
Can just send us recordings of their versions.

Speaker 6 (12:48):
So why don't we Can you get Rick Lewis on
the phone, because I want to see if his band
will submit one, if they'll.

Speaker 9 (12:53):
Do the.

Speaker 7 (12:54):
Let's rely on Rick as a fall fly back, okay,
because we want one of our listeners have a chance
at least, because let's be let's be totally frank here, Mandy.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
Yep, they're really good.

Speaker 7 (13:04):
Wreck and his group are really damn good and probably
gonna better than most nominations. And I think people that
nominate themselves would agree with that notion.

Speaker 6 (13:11):
But should we let him know that we're expecting that
he's our fallback? Should we let it know that, like,
you know, he's our he's our you know, ace in
the hand kind of thing, or we're just gonna thrust
it upon him later.

Speaker 5 (13:21):
No, we're just going to do the latter. Okay. But
here's the problem.

Speaker 7 (13:27):
Well, I guess people can probably submit samples without our
studio to begin with, and then we say, okay, now time.

Speaker 6 (13:33):
To record it on a professional level. Okay, but you've
got to bring your own band. We don't have a band. No,
we got nothing. What I mean, I'm wanting nothing.

Speaker 5 (13:40):
Okay. So what if someone.

Speaker 7 (13:43):
Isn't a band but is able to make all of
the sounds themselves, but not all at once, like they
can not recording them.

Speaker 6 (13:50):
Okay, I'm fine with that. I'm totally fine with.

Speaker 7 (13:52):
That, because there's a very good chance, Mandy, that someone listening,
a dedicated listener, is also a really good musician and
can record at all, and not even I will.

Speaker 6 (14:01):
Said that happily. I'll accept that happily. But they can
still come in and we can use the track and
they can record it for fun. It make nice video
for social it would. Yeah, I'm just saying it would, Mandy.
Some of these comments are hilarious, by the way. Try
saying the word penguin ten times and you'll never be
able to say it correct again.

Speaker 5 (14:20):
There's an actor with the name of Benjamin.

Speaker 6 (14:21):
It's Benedict Cumberbatch, not Benjamin Cumberbatch, who is so afraid
to say the word penguin anymore. He avoids that it
all costs.

Speaker 5 (14:28):
The problem is is.

Speaker 6 (14:29):
That Benedict Cumberbatch recorded a voiceover for a nature documentary
and he says penguin in the Nature documentary penguin, and
he caught so much crap for it that he won't
say the word penguin anymore. And I say, righteous crap.
Nobody says penguin.

Speaker 5 (14:48):
Nobody says it. Yeah, but mister Cumberbatch is a national treasure.
I know, he's a world treasure.

Speaker 6 (14:54):
I know. Yes, Mandy, you should have a permanent theme song,
but also a same version from different bands, high school bands,
et cetera, on rotation. I am open to.

Speaker 5 (15:03):
That as well.

Speaker 7 (15:03):
I mean, we have multiple intros via AI right now,
so I'm down for multiple new intros.

Speaker 5 (15:07):
We can use them. We can use them all.

Speaker 6 (15:09):
Yeah, we'll go crazy. You don't know, it'll be fun.

Speaker 5 (15:11):
Well, we need a main one. It'll be fun Mandy.

Speaker 6 (15:14):
I can't believe iHeartMedia doesn't have a band in the
company somewhere. I'm sure we did at some point, and
I'm sure they were laid off. Mandy, have Rick on
the show tomorrow so he can give people advice on
recording it. I like that he's a musician. I mean
he knows. By the way, we now know what it
is when you say a word so many times and
it starts to sound weird. A texter said, this is

(15:36):
called semantics satiation. Say there you go itself, semantic satiation,
semantic satiation. I got to tell you, guys, and I
don't know if you've noticed it in the listening audience.
So I'm in the process of straightening my teeth. I
use these tray a liner systems that I put in
only at night. I have to wear them twelve hours
at night. They are working. But you know what I

(15:58):
wasn't expecting. As my teeth are moving, it's making it
harder for me to talk. And I have a little
bit of a lisp sometimes now. And I'm hoping you
guys haven't noticed it. Obviously we haven't noticed it. Well,
I feel like it because I almost sound a little drunk,
like when I'm recording commercials and sound shut up. I've

(16:20):
that one time a rod the one time, you know,
it's always you know you're drunk again one time anywayuff happens.
So I've noticed it because I was recording some commercials
this morning and I heard it, and I'm like, oh
my gosh.

Speaker 5 (16:35):
I mean, I wasn't gonna say anything, but it does sound. Mandy.

Speaker 6 (16:38):
I will rue the day when you ship your pants
on air.

Speaker 5 (16:42):
You never know.

Speaker 6 (16:43):
Actually I might have just bought some pants that I shipped. Mandy,
say toy boat as fast as you can. That is
an old theater warm up. And I can say toy
boat a million times in a row without.

Speaker 5 (16:53):
Messing it up. Old your tongue and say apple, don't
do it, don't do it. Oh okay, I got where
that's going. Yeah that's what now. I just need to
know you fell for And.

Speaker 6 (17:03):
Mandy, can you guys take the vocals off the current
theme and just give us the accompany track to sing
along to. I could, but that was also made by AI.
So we're trying to fire all the AI because iHeart
has made an absolute commitment to hearing real people.

Speaker 5 (17:19):
On the radio.

Speaker 6 (17:20):
Both as DJs and as musicians. So we're making that happen.

Speaker 5 (17:25):
Mandy, why don't you use.

Speaker 6 (17:26):
Rix Band and the winner gets to sing? It's a
win win, except I don't control Rix Band.

Speaker 5 (17:30):
These are like professional people. If you guys have.

Speaker 6 (17:33):
Never seen Rix Band play, this isn't some kids in
their garage. These people are incredibly talented musicians. And if
you've never seen Rix Band, I'm telling you I know
the demographic of this listening audience. You guys would love it,
love it, so maybe we'll still I haven't seen.

Speaker 5 (17:53):
Them, and I hate myself for it.

Speaker 6 (17:55):
Really so good, so good man. The problem coverer Batch
had is that he's using the beta version of the
English language.

Speaker 5 (18:04):
That's true.

Speaker 6 (18:05):
No one says Jaguar either, and yet.

Speaker 5 (18:07):
They do Jaguar.

Speaker 6 (18:09):
I just want to point out, has there been a
better example of how to destroy a company with a
garbage marketing campaign than what Jaguar did. No, Jaguar absolutely
destroyed their business.

Speaker 5 (18:23):
Bud Light.

Speaker 6 (18:24):
Well yeah, but bud Light still has market share. Jaguar
has no market share left.

Speaker 7 (18:29):
You need to make a bracket for worst marketing campaigns.

Speaker 5 (18:33):
Would be so much fun.

Speaker 6 (18:34):
It would start out with new Coke New Coke would
be like a position A one and then we'd have
to go for Oh that's a good idea.

Speaker 10 (18:41):
Rod.

Speaker 6 (18:42):
What other disastrous market but Jaguar.

Speaker 5 (18:47):
The worst marketing campaign you can remember.

Speaker 6 (18:49):
Tales after rebrand, I don't think anybody's going to beat this.
We Go Jaguar sale have plummeted following its controversial twenty
twenty five twenty twenty five rebrand and pivot to all
electric vehicles with a staggering are.

Speaker 5 (19:08):
You ready for this? Drop a ride?

Speaker 6 (19:10):
A staggering ninety seven point five percent drop in European
sales this year, ninety seven point five by yikes?

Speaker 5 (19:21):
Yeah? Man, yeah, I mean man? Can we honorable mention Southwest? Well?

Speaker 6 (19:28):
What did Southwest do in their marketing?

Speaker 5 (19:30):
The bag stuff?

Speaker 6 (19:31):
Oh no, that's not marketing, that's decision making and battle
across the board.

Speaker 5 (19:35):
I know, because it's deserved.

Speaker 6 (19:37):
We're going to take a quick time out and when
we get back, I want to get into a couple
things that we have on the blog, and I'm going
to start Marjorie Taylor Green is.

Speaker 5 (19:45):
Having a moment.

Speaker 6 (19:46):
I'll explain why, but I gotta tell you I have
new respect for her, and I'll share that when we
get back, Marjorie Taylor Green has decided not to run
for reelection and she's resigning from Congress a year early.

Speaker 5 (20:00):
Now.

Speaker 6 (20:01):
We interviewed Marjorie Taylor Green at the RNC and she
didn't come off as a complete wack of doodle, even
though she has said completely wackadoodle things in the past.
But what's happened to Marjorie Taylor Green is that she
has gone from one of Donald Trump's staunchest supporters to
being completely disillusioned with him because he has not followed

(20:22):
through on certain campaign promises that she believes he should
follow through on. Now, since breaking with the President, he
has started calling her Marjorie Trader Green.

Speaker 5 (20:36):
And Marjorie Taylor.

Speaker 6 (20:37):
Green has been ostracized from MAGA. She has gotten death
threats credible death threats, I guess against her and her son,
and she asked the Secret Service for protective coverage because
she was getting so many death threats and was turned down. Now,
the reason I admire Marjorie Taylor Green is this because

(21:01):
too many politicians get into office and decide, come hell
or high water, they are going to do whatever it
takes to stay in office and Marjorie Taylor Green is
not that person, partly because I think that she has
a place to go back to in her districtor her
family still owns a construction company. She was running the

(21:22):
construction company when she ran for office. She has a
job to go back to. But I admire anyone who says,
you know what, I'm just not going to play this
game anymore. Trey Goudi is one of them. I long
loved Trey Goudi, and Trey Goudy left Congress. I believe
he is alluded to this in various interviews because he
realized the futility of it, all of trying to change

(21:46):
Congress to try and make it fiscally responsible. And there's
so many people who would do anything, They would tongue
kiss the devil if it meant they could stay in
office as long as they wanted to. And Marjorie Tale
has shown herself that she's not going to be that person.
Now here's where it gets interesting. Marjorie Taylor Green was

(22:07):
on sixty Minutes last night with Leslie Stall. Now I
have my own beefs with sixty Minutes. I still remember
when Leslie Stall very stridently refused to cover the Hunter
by Laptop situation because she said it was Russian disinformation,
and to my knowledge, she has never walked that back
or admitted that she was wrong. And this is something

(22:30):
I don't understand about journalists. In my mind, journalists should
be the very first people to say, wow, I got
that wrong, and I apologize. I totally screwed that up,
and not just in the form of a of a
you know, retraction that comes at a place where nobody
sees it. I would have more respect for people if
they said, wow, you know what. At the time when

(22:51):
I said that, I really believed it was Russian disinformation.
Come to find out it wasn't. And boy do I
have that on my face. Maybe she hasn't. I just
missed it. I don't really follow along with the travails
of Leslie Stall as closely as one might think. But
I think the only reason obviously that Marjorie Taylor Green
is getting invited on Sixty Minutes, or is in getting
invited on The View or getting invited on CNN, is

(23:15):
because there's nothing the left loves more than a scorned
right winger, just like there is nothing the right loves
more than a convert from the left to the right. Now,
Marjorie Taylor Green has not given me any indication that
she has somehow fundamentally changed her political positions in such

(23:38):
a way that I would ever expect her to come
out and say I'm registering as a Democrat. That's not
this kind of conversion. This kind of conversion is she
believed the campaign promises that were that were put out
by the president, and she made similar campaign promises to
her constituents, only different than the president. It ran on

(23:58):
a platform of releasing everything about Jeffrey Epstein, only to
decide that he didn't want to release everything about Jeffrey Epstein.
I think that that's a different kind of conversion. And
whenever anybody says I don't want to do this anymore
because it wasn't what I thought it was going to be,
I'm going to tell you, more power to you.

Speaker 5 (24:20):
More power to you.

Speaker 6 (24:23):
But this is one of those things that makes me wonder,
And I don't know how any thinking rational person could
want to align themselves closely with Donald Trump, because at
any moment, if you step out of the line that
keeps consistently moving by the way, with the Trump administration,
if you go rogue and you dare to express an

(24:44):
opinion that is not in line with Donald Trump. It
doesn't matter that Marjorie Taylor Green was not seen without
a MAGA hat for like years, that she was the
one out there yelling in support of Donald Trump, telling
people that if they elected Donald Trump, he was going
to do things differently, he was going to fix these problems. Now,

(25:04):
I don't hate everything Donald Trump has done, but the
reality is this, she says in this interview. And I
have the interview in vented on the blog dead if
you want to watch it. She says, in her district,
the biggest problem is affordability. And for Donald Trump to
say last week affordability is a myth, you know, it's fake.

(25:24):
Nobody cares about that. I mean, it was just so
patently absurd. But Marjorie Taylor Green has been on the
receiving end of such a pile of crap at this
point she's dealt with. There's like almost a thousand death
threats that have come her way, she says in this interview.
The death threats usually have the subject line Marjorie Trader Green,

(25:47):
which is the nickname that Donald Trump gave to Marjorie
Taylor Green. When she stopped carrying his water on everything.
She also, it says in this interview, what I think
is really interesting is that people would be shocked to
hear how other politicians talk about Donald Trump behind his back.

(26:11):
Now I'm not shocked at all. I've seen politicians just
absolutely display their two faces so clearly, and and you
know immediately that it doesn't surprise me at all that
they would talk badly about about Donald Trump behind his back,
because ultimately, everyone's scared. Everyone's scared of getting the Marjorie

(26:31):
Taylor Green treatment. Everyone's scared of losing their power. Everyone's
scared of losing their race, everyone's scared of getting primaried.
Because once you get to Washington, DC, and you get
to smell the rarefied air, and you get to be
treated with such difference, and you realize how much power
comes with that congressman or congresswoman in front of your name.
The fact that she just decided to walk away says

(26:53):
more about her character than the reaction of Donald Trump
says about his Mandy. True or false that Marjorie Taler
Green's resignation is timed so she still gets all the
benefits for life.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
Yes, it is.

Speaker 6 (27:09):
I mean, you can make judgment on that all day long.
I think that would be fair. But if she just
wrote out the rest of her term, those benefits would
still be there.

Speaker 5 (27:17):
You know I would if.

Speaker 6 (27:19):
I'm going to put up with that level of crap,
if I'm getting death threats now, because you know I
would do it, and honestly, most of us you would
have to admit that if you were in that same situation,
you would do. Now another thing, Mandy, your take on
Marjorie Taylor Green is incomplete. Let's talk about why she
agreed to go on sixty minutes and slam Trump as

(27:39):
she has done with politics.

Speaker 5 (27:41):
I don't think Trump walks on water.

Speaker 6 (27:43):
But it's easy to say people are talking behind your
back without proof, except Donald Trump has been talking about
her openly and publicly and saying really nasty things. So
for her to go on sixty minutes, I don't think
this is what you're talking about.

Speaker 5 (27:58):
Now.

Speaker 6 (27:58):
Did she name names last night when she said, hey,
there's a lot of people who talk behind his back.

Speaker 5 (28:03):
No, she didn't.

Speaker 6 (28:04):
She's merely saying it happens. And I believe her on that.
And again I'm not a huge Marjorie Taylor Green fan.
I want to be clear about that. I'm not some
like supervan. I am merely saying that if she is
truly resigning on principle because she has been let down
by the leadership by Donald Trump and she just doesn't
want to do it anymore, I get that. That's what

(28:25):
I'm talking about, being something I could respect if only Mt.
Gene could convince her pal Bovert to do the same.
I don't think there's any love loss between those women.
And as I said before, Marchori Taylor Green has something
to go back to, right. She has a construction company
she can go run, So there you go. Maybe in

(28:48):
addition to being eligible for a significant retired congress pension,
according to the AI, her net worth has grown significantly.
Marjorie Taylor Green's net worth has been a significant increase,
and she took office into twenty twenty one, growing from
an estimated seven hundred thousand dollars to approximately twenty five
million as of late twenty twenty five, according to various

(29:09):
financial reports and public disclosures. You are correct, and if
you ran those numbers on pretty much everyone in Congress,
you would know why people want to be in Congress.
Mandy I'm not going to say that MTG is dumb,
for she is very smart, especially when it comes to
her lifelong passion that she will have for how long
she has served in the US House lifelong pension. So

(29:33):
there you go, Mandy admire Lol. You and Ross have
been bad mouthing her since day one. I literally said
that I'm not a Margory Taylor Green fan. I admire
her for taking a principled stand. Those are two different things.
A lot of you are weighing in, by the way,

(29:54):
you know, Ayrod, we mentioned the worst campaign, and a
lot of people weighed in. We need to back to
that in the next segment because some of them are
funny and you won't believe how many people nominated the
cars for Kids campaign. So there's always that we'll do
that in a little bit. So, you know, maybe we'll
never hear from Marjorie Taylor Green again.

Speaker 5 (30:16):
Maybe we won't. I don't know.

Speaker 6 (30:17):
She says she is not going to run for office again,
but I'll believe that when I see it. We will
have to wait and see how everything turns out. Now
and a similar but not a similar story, Trump recently
pardoned a guy named Henry Henry Seller Tueller.

Speaker 5 (30:35):
I don't know how to say his last name.

Speaker 6 (30:38):
He is a member of Congress who was facing charges
of corruption, bribery he and his wife, and before those
charges could be adjudicated in court, Donald Trump pardon the guy.
And if you want to know why Donald Trump pardoned

(30:59):
the guy, it's because he was trying to shore up
his numbers in Congress. And he assumed that Representative Culer, see,
I have no idea how to say his last name.
Culer would immediately become a Republican out of gratitude.

Speaker 5 (31:10):
Well guess what.

Speaker 6 (31:11):
Representative Clr in a television interview Sunday, said he was
a conservative Democrat willing to work with the administration to
see where they can find common ground. But he is
running for reelection as a Democrat. This has set Trump
off such a lack of loyalty, he said on True
Social And all I have to say about that is

(31:33):
that's the pot calling the kettle black if I've ever
heard it.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Bell and Pollock
accident and injury lawyers.

Speaker 2 (31:41):

way to do something nice for veterans. I'd like to
welcome my next guest.

Speaker 5 (33:17):
To the show.

Speaker 6 (33:18):
Tim Macho and Terry McCauley are with the wait. Let
me make sure I get this right. It's ACBC, which
is the Aurora City Brew Club.

Speaker 5 (33:27):
Hey, guys, welcome to the show. Good morning, Good what so,
first of all, tell me.

Speaker 6 (33:34):
A little bit about the Aurora City Brew Club. What's
that all about?

Speaker 8 (33:39):
Goo ahead. Well, it's just a like minded bunch of
guys that I enjoyed brewing beer, fellowship, being together, hanging out.
We've been active since twenty fourteen. Oh and we started
with about fourteen people.

Speaker 5 (33:58):
And now what are you up to have a good sixteen.

Speaker 8 (34:01):
We had a meeting yesterday which was very fun, very cool.
We had thirty four people from thirty four members.

Speaker 5 (34:08):
Fantastic.

Speaker 6 (34:09):
So you've grown just a little bit. Yeah, Now let
me ask you. Last year we spoke about this and
you guys decided that you were going to do a
beer for mass production because I'm guessing you guys just
are kind of sitting around drinking your own, you know,
testing each other's out. That's my vision of an Aurora
City Brew Club meeting, Like you guys are like, hey

(34:30):
try this, No you try this, No, you try this?

Speaker 5 (34:32):
Is that kind of what goes on?

Speaker 8 (34:36):
Yeah, pretty much everyone can bring their home brews and
everyone gets a little couple ounces sample of whatever you've
brewed in the last few months or whatever.

Speaker 6 (34:46):
So how did the idea come about that you were
going to bring this to a commercial location and share
some beer to better better, you know, to benefit veterans.

Speaker 5 (34:54):
What was that?

Speaker 1 (34:56):
So?

Speaker 8 (34:56):
Our club we worked with the VCP, the Veterans Community
Project the last few years. We've done some auctions and
proceeds going to help them out. We're actually going to
have a really big ordeal next year in May where
we're gonna threw another beer and have an auction. So

(35:17):
this is kind of a kickoff to that. We decided
as a club what beer to do. Our beer that
we've been working on for six years now that we've
finally tweaked just the way we want it has won
three gold medals this year in homebrew competitions. It's won
two best of shows. So as a club, we all
kind of decided to go ahead with that beer and
work with two of the Bury's in town. Bent Barley

(35:40):
and Launchpad to do a collaboration and brew this beer,
release it this weekend and have proceeds go to help
out the Veterans Community Project.

Speaker 6 (35:49):
The Veterans Community Project, and I totally put the wrong
veterans organization on the blog and I just fixed it
is a really cool I knew what we were talking about.
I just put the wrong name down for their thing
started by a guy with a mission who wanted to
provide safe housing for veterans and get them out of
homelessness and provide a community where veterans could live around

(36:10):
other veterans who may be sharing the same struggles to
create that same sense of camaraderie that they had in
the military. So this is a very worthy organization. Tell
me about the beer itself now. In your email to me,
you said, Mandy, this is one of those hoppy beers
that you don't like, but I like a strong ale.
It's the IPAs that tastes like grass clippings that I

(36:31):
don't like. So where are we on the grass clippings stage?

Speaker 5 (36:35):
Like scale?

Speaker 6 (36:36):
Are we one to ten? No grass clippings ten? I
emptied out the lawnmower and made beer. Where are we
in this.

Speaker 8 (36:42):
Beer, would you say six maybe? And it's it's still
it's still got fairly a fair amount of hops in it,
but the malts offset that, okay, And it's kind of
a it's.

Speaker 5 (36:57):
All a balance, you know.

Speaker 8 (36:58):
You want to achieve a balance when you developing it
a beer, and I think we've done pretty well on
doing that.

Speaker 5 (37:03):
Now.

Speaker 6 (37:03):
You guys said you've been working on this particular beer
for six years, but you also use the tell me
about the barley and stuff the names of this stuff.
Was that intentional that you went out and sought ingredients
whose names would lend itself to a beer to support
veterans or was that accidental?

Speaker 8 (37:23):
So about eight years ago I started brewing, and I
wanted to make a Marine Corp beer, and I wanted
it kind of red colored to go along with the
blood stripe of the Marine Corps trousers. It started off
as an amber rail and then I kind of made
it an ipa the next year, and then I met
Terry at one of the homebrewer nights where we got
to share our beers, got to talking about the Marine

(37:43):
Corps and stuff, and found out we're both veterans, and
decided let's brew a beer together, and he came up with,
let's make it a little more multy and a little
more happy, and give it a little more alcohol percentage.

Speaker 6 (37:54):
Let's make it so Mandy Connell might enjoy it. Is
that what actually happen is that the conversation that you
tell me about the names of these malts and hops though,
this is fantastic.

Speaker 8 (38:04):
Sure, So one of the malts that we use is Victory,
So we just want to make sure what we're using
la kind of military themes. The hops are a warrior, chinook,
target and liberty, and sohow we made it all kind
of blend together and come out like a really good
tasting beer.

Speaker 6 (38:21):
Now, what's the name of the beer for this year.

Speaker 8 (38:24):
It's called the Devil Dog's Blood Stripe.

Speaker 6 (38:26):
That's fantastic. I mean, that's really really fantastic. And what
a tribute to your beloved Marine Corps. That is absolutely outstanding.
How can people now, how did you loop in Bent
Barley Brewery? How did they come to be a part
and did you take them the recipe and say we
want you to brew this beer?

Speaker 5 (38:46):
How did that process happen?

Speaker 8 (38:48):
Well, a few years ago and like I think it
was in twenty three. I just got the notion from
a buddy of mine that to proposition Launchpad Brewery and
up beer that had won a gold medal and I
think it was a silver metal I'm sorry, and and
so he kind of liked that. Paul at launch Path

(39:09):
kind of liked that idea, and so yeah, we shared
the recipe and we brewed. And so Paul and Paul's
friend and fellow brewery it Ben Barley. They communicate quite often,
and they came down and said, hey, let's let's brew

(39:30):
this beer for this project.

Speaker 5 (39:32):
Excellent, excellent.

Speaker 6 (39:33):
So the beer's being tapped on Saturday.

Speaker 8 (39:38):
They're thirteenth, Oh.

Speaker 6 (39:39):
The thirteenth, Okay, For some reason, I thought that was Saturday.

Speaker 5 (39:41):
What day is that? What day of the week is that?

Speaker 8 (39:45):
That's the Saturday?

Speaker 5 (39:46):
Okay, look at you, stop it. You're messing me up here.

Speaker 6 (39:49):
So Saturday, the beer's being tapped.

Speaker 5 (39:51):
How can people come? How you know?

Speaker 6 (39:53):
I'm assuming the proceeds is it one hundred percent or
is it a part portion of the proceeds?

Speaker 5 (39:57):
Not that it really.

Speaker 8 (39:58):
Matters, it's to be one hundred percent.

Speaker 6 (40:00):
Yes, Oh that's excellent. How much beer do they have?

Speaker 5 (40:03):
Like? How long is this run going? To last.

Speaker 8 (40:06):
There's six barrels, but it's going to be split up
between four locations.

Speaker 5 (40:11):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (40:11):
Lunch Pad has two locations, one in Aurora, one in
Bennett and ben Bartley has two locations as well, one
at Southlands Shopping Mall and the other is in Spring Creek, Okay,
off of Ortude.

Speaker 6 (40:30):
All right, so people can go this weekend if they
really want to try the beer. I definitely go this weekend.
Six barrels isn't that much in the grand scheme of
beer brewing, and I'm assuming it's going to be reasonably
priced and delicious and every marine should want to go
and toast their beer to find out what it's about.
I'm going to try and make it to the Barley
and south Lands at some point this weekend just to

(40:51):
stop by and have this beer, and I will be
emailing you a full review, okay, So I will be
letting you know, like sometimes my review will be why
would anyone drink this twice?

Speaker 5 (41:02):
Right? Like that's a I'm just kidding.

Speaker 6 (41:04):
That's not what I think about this beer, because I
do like a strong ale. So the fact that it's
in the ale category instead of the IPA category, you
might be winning.

Speaker 5 (41:13):
Guys.

Speaker 6 (41:13):
You might be winning, but I'll tell you what you
are winning my appreciation. I'm sure you're winning the appreciation
of the Veterans Community Project. Last year you made what
little over sixteen thousand dollars.

Speaker 8 (41:25):
Yeah, there was I think it was fifteen. And we've
done it for two years and we've brought in the
first year we made brought in sixteen thousand dollars for
Veterans Community Projects. The second year was a little bit
least fifteen thousand.

Speaker 6 (41:39):
All right, so we're gonna see if we can get
it back up over that sixteen thousand dollars mark, guys,
thanks so much. We've I Tim Machio, Terry McCauley, I
really appreciate you guys like taking something that you obviously
love to do and you have passion for and turning
it into something that's going to raise money for a
phenomenal cause.

Speaker 5 (41:56):
So hats off to you, guys.

Speaker 6 (41:58):
I'll raise my beer to you when I have it,
and all the information is on our blog today about
where you can get the beer. Guys, thanks so much
for your time today. All right, guys, that is fantastic.
Are you a beer guy, Anthony? Don't think I've ever
asked you if you're a beer guy. I know you're
a cocktails guy. You do enjoy a cocktail, But are

(42:20):
you ever a beer guy?

Speaker 5 (42:21):
Not one bit.

Speaker 6 (42:23):
See, I still I love beer and barbs. I know
I don't drink, well, I don't drink. I had three
beers on Saturday, I went down to Kota Pasi to
see a friend of mine.

Speaker 5 (42:33):
Had three beers on Saturday.

Speaker 6 (42:35):
Got zero sleep on Saturday night, so you know they
all have to be scheduled.

Speaker 5 (42:40):
Yeah. I don't really like the taste of beer.

Speaker 7 (42:43):
I don't like how it really is not that good
for you if you indulge quite a bit.

Speaker 6 (42:50):
I rather be an amateur mixologist. There you go, and
that's perfectly your prerogative. I have loved beer since I
was a kid. My dad back in the seventies were Laurius.
You guys, your dad would go, hey, go get a
beer out of the fridge.

Speaker 5 (43:03):
You go get it.

Speaker 6 (43:04):
He would open it, and you got to take the
first drag off the beer, y'all. I'm talking like six
years old. So there you go. Make that happen. Got
a lot of stuff. Hey, Rud, what's your favorite appetizer?
I asked this question on the blog, and I said,
what is the best appetizer and why is it? Pigs

(43:25):
in a blanket? And you guys can laugh like they're
hoity toity appetizers, but I'm telling you right now, you
show up with a platter of pigs in a blanket,
they are the first thing.

Speaker 5 (43:34):
People will eat. Absolutely.

Speaker 7 (43:36):
I just don't really call them like a bona fide
appetizer in the sense that they're not.

Speaker 5 (43:42):
Typically offered as an option at a rest.

Speaker 6 (43:46):
I'm talking about at a party, going to parties and
pot looks and things like that, And we were talking
about appetizers and some things, you know, like some things
are super fancy. Pigs in a blanket is a hit
every time you bring it.

Speaker 7 (43:58):
Well, my buddy Dan, who you know, he is a big,
big guy on making not in the blanket, but just
weenies in general.

Speaker 5 (44:05):
On little toothpicks. Oh, there you go, and they are
just aw unbelievable. Does he have sauce or anything brown?
Oh my god, that's.

Speaker 6 (44:13):
Like the thing you do with the meatballs with a
thing of grape jelly and a jar of chili sauce
and you just mix that in and make a make
a sauce. That's also everybody loves meatballs too.

Speaker 5 (44:23):
Oh great meatball. I mean those are probably up there.
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (44:26):
One favorite would be He's in a Blanket. Again, not
done often enough, but absolutely would be the best.

Speaker 5 (44:33):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (44:34):
Ralph asks, I'd love to try their beer, but there's
no way I can get up there. Can we get
it in Colorado Springs? I will ask them next time?
Very cool says this text. He your guests are working
with Bent Barley. Good place for certain I ride with
one of the minor owners four days a week.

Speaker 5 (44:49):
Say hi, did Julie.

Speaker 6 (44:50):
From John when you drop by Soulthlands?

Speaker 5 (44:52):
I will not.

Speaker 6 (44:53):
Mandy ask him if the Marine Corps beer tastes like crayons?

Speaker 5 (44:56):
Dagit?

Speaker 6 (44:57):
I wish I'd gotten that before I hung up.

Speaker 5 (45:00):
I'm dang it.

Speaker 7 (45:01):
Okay, I have my answer. Best appetizer, it's become a
new one. Halapeno art choke dip.

Speaker 5 (45:06):
Okay, I just had so good.

Speaker 6 (45:09):
Costco has a cranberry Jalipino dip.

Speaker 5 (45:15):
It is so freaking good.

Speaker 7 (45:18):
I am immediately skeptical, only because I've probably tried five
different halapeno ARTI choke style dip.

Speaker 5 (45:26):
No this is cranberry. Let me make it more broad.

Speaker 7 (45:30):
I've tried a lot of different dips in that category,
if you will.

Speaker 5 (45:34):
Yeah, most are terrible. Oh, this was like fruit, right,
you know what don't like fruit? Is it again?

Speaker 6 (45:41):
It's cranberry jalapeno.

Speaker 5 (45:43):
That sounds atrocious? It is delicious.

Speaker 6 (45:46):
Now I had to eat around the actual cranberries.

Speaker 5 (45:48):
I would say my favorite.

Speaker 7 (45:50):
I would say my favorite, but I don't want the
stock to go down at this store because it's always
kind of hard to find.

Speaker 5 (45:55):
So I'm not going to say which is my favorite?

Speaker 11 (45:57):
What is it?

Speaker 6 (45:58):
Tell me?

Speaker 5 (45:58):
Tell me my ear.

Speaker 6 (45:59):
Nobody get hear.

Speaker 5 (46:00):
No, I'm not talk back.

Speaker 6 (46:01):
Well, I'm not gonna go out and get a bunch
of dip.

Speaker 7 (46:03):
I make my own this this one you would try
and then keep getting Mandy.

Speaker 6 (46:07):
Pigs in a blanket or like Bogoger's on the floor.
Stop it.

Speaker 5 (46:11):
I mean, I will say, they're often not done right.

Speaker 7 (46:13):
They like the bread typically just crusts off, and then
you just got a weenie.

Speaker 5 (46:18):
Usually not done right, Mandy.

Speaker 6 (46:20):
The best appetizer is Devil's on hogback debt dates wrapped
in bacon.

Speaker 7 (46:25):
Also life goals. Eating pigs in a blanket in a blanket.
It's an office reference.

Speaker 5 (46:31):
I'm sorry. That's a good one, though. I like it.

Speaker 6 (46:33):
Had This text just says this guy is a big
weenie guy.

Speaker 5 (46:38):
Big weenie guy, big weenie guy.

Speaker 6 (46:40):
I mean, he's probably happy that you're talking about it.

Speaker 5 (46:43):
It's big weenie anyway. I like beer.

Speaker 6 (46:46):
It makes me a jolly good fellow. It makes most
people a jolly good feller, except the guy who says
pigs in a blanket or like buggers on the floor.

Speaker 5 (46:52):
What is that? Stop? What is that a charcoterie board? Count?
I mean it's a giant thing. I mean the ark
couchie board.

Speaker 6 (47:00):
Yeah that yeah, No, that's I mean that's not a dip,
but it is spectacular.

Speaker 7 (47:05):
I like mine done. Like how do people say it
the way I like it? Like a like a kid's lunchable?

Speaker 5 (47:10):
Oh you yeah, you just want like ham. You don't
like preshudo. I don't want the terrible stuff.

Speaker 6 (47:14):
Oh I want the fancy and I want the fancy
stuff on my shart shooter. People pretend to like Mandy
the Costco Cranberryjlapino dips, testify Nammy, it is so good,
so good. Mandy is the blanket bacon or bread. The
blanket on Pigs in a blanket is bread. You gotta
roll it with like crusset rolls is in thy bread.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
It is.

Speaker 7 (47:36):
It's often not done right again, usually crusts off and falls,
and they're like, oh cooloweni.

Speaker 6 (47:41):
Yeah, mandy apple bree cheese and garlt clothes.

Speaker 5 (47:45):
It's so good.

Speaker 6 (47:45):
Well over this past weekend I had baked breathe that
was topped with cherry preserves and then some uh some
candy walnuts, and honest to god, I'd slapped my mom
for that food.

Speaker 5 (47:55):
It was so good.

Speaker 7 (47:56):
The list on the Google Classic crowd pleasers hasn't been mentioned.

Speaker 6 (48:00):
At top of the list doubled eggs. Yeah, but deviled
eggs are a pain in the ass to make.

Speaker 5 (48:05):
Yeah, I'm not a big fan, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (48:06):
And if you boil your eggs and like they're all
laying on their sides and then you get the yolk
al on one side, it's too thin on the it's
just a ah.

Speaker 7 (48:14):
Other top mentions like you said, pigs in a blanket,
spinach artist, choked dip, stuffed mushrooms, cocktail meatballs, which we
said burshudasquettah and big shout out to the wife and
my father who make the best guawk on earth.

Speaker 6 (48:28):
Quawk is one of those things that people over complicate.

Speaker 5 (48:32):
Right. It's simple, just.

Speaker 6 (48:34):
Really good ingredients smashed together. You don't even need a
bunch of ingredients and delicious exactly because people try to
make it more than it is.

Speaker 5 (48:43):
It doesn't need to be fancy. Oh, here's an honorable man.

Speaker 6 (48:47):
It is not like an uncircumcised penis.

Speaker 5 (48:49):
It is not right. Cauliflower bites, if done correct.

Speaker 6 (48:54):
Those those have to be fresh though. You can't have
cauliflower bites that have been sitting around correct, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 5 (49:00):
Can't do that.

Speaker 6 (49:02):
Sausage kolachi's kolachas, kalash kaloshes. How do you pronounce k
o l A c h E S. I know it's
Polish sausage. Kolachies are a step up from pigs in
the blanket. So are brisket stuffed jalapenos and all that
sounds fancy.

Speaker 7 (49:20):
Hallopinion popper is also eh.

Speaker 6 (49:23):
They're good if they're fresh within your mouth, like the
lava comes out and they burn your face off.

Speaker 5 (49:27):
Great, you meat pickled kolopenos all day over that.

Speaker 6 (49:30):
Yeah, you know, deviled eggs make me queasy. Redneck sushi
rolls ak Minnesota soup? What is Minnesota sushi? You can't
send in something like that without immediately explaining what the
heck we're talking about. I don't know who you people
are anymore. Do you eat the mini devils from lost chugas?

Speaker 5 (49:50):
Minnesota sushi?

Speaker 7 (49:52):
A slice of deli ham, spread with cream cheese, rolled
around to deal pickle and sliced into bite size.

Speaker 6 (49:57):
That actually sounds kind of good. It does look good. Well,
that sounds really good. Minnesota. Well, Minnesota is where no
salad is actual salad. It's all got jello, mayonnaise and
some kind of other sugar to it. In Minnesota, when
they say would you like a salad, now, I'm good.

Speaker 5 (50:17):
Pigs and a blanket.

Speaker 6 (50:17):
Around here has always been pancakes and breakfast sausage, wrapping
the pancake around the sausage. And I'm not saying there's
a thing wrong with that, but we're in the appetizer
space right now. Okay, appetizer space.

Speaker 5 (50:29):
I know. Now I'm hungry.

Speaker 6 (50:30):
Did you already mention shrimps and cocktail sauce. I'm going
to tell you the thing that I would make at
my parties.

Speaker 5 (50:35):
Now.

Speaker 6 (50:36):
Granted, a lot of people in Colorado don't eat seafood,
which I don't understand. You take a bottle of all
of garden italian Us dressing and you just pour it
over cooked shrimp and let it marinate. Phenomenal marinate. Shrimp
are off the chain and people eat them like they
are insane.

Speaker 7 (50:55):
By the way, what was your statement, you don't understand
why people in Colorado ware.

Speaker 6 (50:58):
Well, I know because you can ship in the seafood.

Speaker 5 (51:04):
There's your answer, or landlocked branch out a lot.

Speaker 6 (51:08):
That was my one beef about living in Colorado has
been the lack of good seafood. And when you do
find good seafood, it's seven million.

Speaker 5 (51:16):
Dollars because most of it's not good. All seafood is.

Speaker 6 (51:21):
Good except for sea urchin foam, which is disgusting.

Speaker 5 (51:26):
I'm trying.

Speaker 6 (51:27):
There's any other seafood that I don't eat?

Speaker 5 (51:29):
And audience is where you're from, Florida exactly.

Speaker 2 (51:32):
I know.

Speaker 6 (51:33):
Let's take a time out. When we get back, let's
do some actual news. Now that we've wasted time, and
I am I literally just day breakfast.

Speaker 5 (51:40):
Like two hours ago.

Speaker 6 (51:41):
I had a delightful omelet with vegetables in it, and
now I'm starving.

Speaker 5 (51:45):
Dang it.

Speaker 6 (51:46):
When we get back, let's talk about states that No,
I'm gonna talk about that tomorrow because I already did
a whole other thing.

Speaker 5 (51:54):
I'm gonna do that tomorrow.

Speaker 6 (51:56):
I'm looking as Oh, I have to apologize to Peta. Yes,
you heard me right, that's coming up next. There was
barbecue in the sales Pitanks.

Speaker 5 (52:05):
For telling me savage. I literally just told you, I
mean literally, thanks for telling me.

Speaker 1 (52:10):
No.

Speaker 7 (52:11):
Oh.

Speaker 6 (52:11):
Now, well, I just got meat and some coal slaw,
which is quite good, but not even like Mayo cole slaw,
just vinegar coleslaw. So I feel like I'm okay staying
in there. Mandy Atomic Buffalo turns alapino stuff with green
cheese blend with cayenne wrapped in bacon. That sounds like
a lot from what I've been told from a chef.
The state of Colorado ships and more seafood daily than

(52:32):
any other landlocked state. Yeah, it's like a million dollars
just saying. Anyway, let's talk about something else. I have
to apologize to Peta. You heard me right, the People
for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Speaker 5 (52:47):
What's amazing to me.

Speaker 6 (52:49):
Is that PETE operates a little like the NSA, because
whenever I say anything about PETA, I inevitably get an
email from someone in Peta, but not locally, I get
an email from someone in New Jersey. It's weird, you guys.

(53:09):
It's like the cult is you know, massive. No, I'm
just kidding. I do want to correct myself, though, because
I pride myself on giving you guys accurate information. And
last week when I was talking about a new bill
that PETA wants to run in Delaware, they've submitted to
the legislature in the hopes that someone will pick it up,
and they want the Delaware legislator to legislate that dogs

(53:35):
when you have a pet, you have to walk your
dog three times a day. And I was making fun
of that because I have an eight year old Saint Bernard,
who if I can get her to walk one time
a day these days, that's great. She's fat and lazy
and currently wearing a human shirt, which is confirmed that
she is indeed a human. So I said, PETA has

(53:57):
always hated pet ownership because in my mind and I
genuinely believe that PETA has always hated pet ownership. But
I was wrong, and I got an email, very nice email,
by the way, and I want to share.

Speaker 5 (54:09):
It with you right now.

Speaker 6 (54:11):
Maybe if you spend a moment looking into PETA, you
see that we promote animal adoption at every turn. And
as I write this, my adopted dog and cat are
lying next to me, So it's simply not true that
we're anti pet ownership, as you said on the air.
Will you please correct this misinformation on the air so
that your listeners are not misled. We are also promote
responsible animal guardianship, which includes spaying and neutering to prevent

(54:35):
unwanted animals from being born and overloading the country's already
overburdened shelters. And it includes making sure that our dogs
get plenty of exercise and socialization. For so many dogs
will walk is the only time they get to relieve themselves,
get some exercise, and check out the sites, sounds, and
sniffs of the neighborhood. Dogs have to ask us for everything,
when to eat, when to play, when to go outside,

(54:57):
and we shouldn't be forcing them to cross their legs
and hold it from early morning until late at night.
Three walks a day at minimum is very little to
give in return to the dogs who give us so
much love and affection. So there the record has been corrected.
I sit corrected here, and uh, I just wanted you

(55:18):
to know that I want real infor although I will
still continue to make fun of Peta, not because they're
advocating for animals. I love animals, You love animals, We
all love animals, but because they advocate for animals, sometimes
in completely absurd ways, just the whenever you're suggesting that
someone passed a law that is almost unenforceable, what exactly

(55:40):
is the point there? Are they going to set up
a dog hotline? No, they're not because dogs can't use
the phone because they don't have thumbs.

Speaker 5 (55:46):
Okay, it's stuff like this.

Speaker 6 (55:50):
But I also have to give them a lot of
credit because we were talking about Peta. We talked about them,
so mission accomplished. One of my favorite, favorite, it, favorite
favorite salespeople that I worked with in a long time
actually left here to go work in the marketing department
with Peta.

Speaker 5 (56:09):
And I still adore her to this day.

Speaker 6 (56:11):
Even though I'm like, what crazy times some of the
stuff that they're doing, but you know what it must work.
Speaking of annoying advertising campaigns, Mandy, why do you leave
the studio.

Speaker 5 (56:20):
During your program?

Speaker 6 (56:21):
Aren't you supposed to be monitoring the wire for breaking news.
I think you have some misconceptions about.

Speaker 5 (56:27):
How this show actually operates. Yeah, no, that's not what
happens at all.

Speaker 6 (56:33):
That's not even a little bit what happens, not aiden close.
And sometimes I forget to stand up during the show,
and then I go to stand up at the end
of the show and I walk like a you know,
like a deer on ice for the first few steps
because I've.

Speaker 5 (56:47):
Been sitting too long.

Speaker 6 (56:49):
So yeah, no, I try to leave this studio as
regularly as possible during the show. Now, let me get
this story in because this story is kind of a
companion piece to the story out of Minnesota. You guys
may not know this, but Maine has a massive Somali
community as well as Minnesota. And like, golly, what year

(57:12):
was this? So I got to think back in time.
Let me do some quick math here. So I was
working there, so like two thousand and five, roughly two
thousand and five, two thousand and six, I saw a
blurb on the AP wire about an influx of Somali's
to Maine specifically, and it was one of those things
where I read this story and I went, well, that's weird.

(57:34):
What is someone in Somalia and I've been to Maine.
You guys, Maine is lovely in the summer. Maine is
so miserable in the winter.

Speaker 5 (57:44):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (57:44):
It's one of those places where, like for four months
you're like greatest place in the world.

Speaker 5 (57:48):
The other eight months.

Speaker 6 (57:49):
You're like, ah, why do people live here voluntarily?

Speaker 5 (57:53):
You know.

Speaker 6 (57:54):
So, But back in two thousand and five, two thousand
and six, I read this story on the AP wire
and it says all of these Somalis have moved to me.
So I started looking into it, like, how did this happen?
Did Maine aggressively market to the Somali community? What was
going on here? Well, here's what I found out. I
found out that somehow a Somalian person had moved to Maine,

(58:14):
Begor Maine specifically, and they had managed to tap into
the entirely generous welfare benefits that Maine has.

Speaker 5 (58:23):
Maine is like Minnesota.

Speaker 6 (58:25):
They love their welfare benefits because mas Maine as they're
an independent lot main as.

Speaker 5 (58:32):
They are rugged, rugged people.

Speaker 6 (58:34):
So it wasn't like a ton of people who are
gonna be in Maine and live on welfare, because it's
just not how people from Maine are cut. Like that's
like that's like something you use in an emergency situation.

Speaker 5 (58:44):
Right.

Speaker 6 (58:44):
Well, whoever the first Somali to come to Maine, to
Bangor Maine and tap into all their generous welfare benefits,
they started sending the word back, and all of a sudden,
there are radio stations in Somolia that are doing stories
about how if you just moved to Bangor Maine in
the United States of America, they will give you a

(59:05):
place to live, They'll give you money for food, They'll
give you all of this free stuff. And all of
a sudden, the Somalies were like, I am going to Maine.

Speaker 5 (59:15):
And it was a concerted effort, a.

Speaker 6 (59:16):
Massive, massive immigration push from Somalia to Maine. So fast
forward to today, we already know what's been happening in Minnesota.
Now we have a whistleblower. His name is Chris Bernardini.
He was the former billing guru of Gateway Community Services.
They were a health services contractor that dealt with Maine's
Medicaid program and they were supposed to deliver services to

(59:39):
the immigrant community. Is this all starting to sound familiar? Well,
Chris Bernardini said, yeah. Not only were they not serving
the community they were designed to serve, they were lying.
They were falsifying records, they were falsifying appointments, they were
falsifying all of this data to the point where he

(01:00:01):
says he had to quit because it was so bad.
But he worked there for like seven years. I mean,
how do you not know this? So now he says,
the exact same kind of fraud that is happening in
Minnesota has been happening in many in Maine.

Speaker 5 (01:00:15):
For all of these years.

Speaker 6 (01:00:17):
And I got to tell you, I think that this
is something we need to look into, and we need
to make sure that it's not happening anywhere else with
any other community, immigrant or not.

Speaker 5 (01:00:28):
It would be really nice if we.

Speaker 6 (01:00:30):
Can uncover all of the waste, fraud and abuse that
politicians love to talk about, but then they don't actually
do anything to stop it.

Speaker 5 (01:00:38):
When was the last time.

Speaker 6 (01:00:39):
A politician you ran on the platform of We're going
to eliminate waste, frauden abuse from the Medicaid program? When
they got into office. Has anyone ever said we are
going to create a task force that is made up
of healthcare professionals, law enforcement, fraud investigators, and we are
going to investigate whether or not any fraud is occurring
in our medicaid system.

Speaker 5 (01:00:59):
Have they ever done that? No, they just talk about it.
That's the that's like the default thing. How are you
gonna pay for these programs?

Speaker 6 (01:01:07):
Well, we are gonna go after the waste spot and
abuse in Medicaid and Medicare, and we're gonna find all
this money. They never find the money because they never look.
Because how in the world if they were looking, could
they have missed fraud on the scale that we're now
seeing in Minneapolis and now apparently in Maine. By the way,
these are some stats from News Nation. Mayne had two

(01:01:30):
seven hundred and thirty residents who are Somali in twenty
twenty three, in a sign of their growing political clout.
There are three Somali Americans who serve in Maine State House.
The three Democratic lawmakers on Thursday ripped President Trump for
hateful remarks describing Somali Americans as garbage.

Speaker 5 (01:01:49):
They did not respond to our quest from NewsNation for
comment though.

Speaker 6 (01:01:55):
Again, I don't care if it's Somali's that are defrauding Medicaid.
I don't care if it's Americans who are defrauding Medicaid.
I don't care if it is Aliens defrauding Medicaid. It's
time for us to get serious about making sure that
the taxpayer dollars that you and I work our collective
asses off for just to send them to the government
are being managed in the same way that we would

(01:02:16):
manage our own money. And if I thought somebody was
ripping me off on a regular basis, the last thing
I would do is allow them to continue to do it.
We'll be right back. Did you watch the FIFA World
Cup draw? Did you watch this?

Speaker 5 (01:02:31):
Aron? Oh?

Speaker 8 (01:02:32):
The draw?

Speaker 4 (01:02:32):
Now?

Speaker 5 (01:02:33):
Yeah, the draw. I didn't even know what it was.
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 6 (01:02:36):
The draw is when they literally draw names to come
up with who has to compete against whom in the
FIFA World Cup, which is going to be in North America.
What year is this going to be? Is this next year?
I don't even know what this is. Hang on one second,
I should have looked this up just so I have
the facts for you, But I just I care so
little about World Cup. So it's going from June eleven,

(01:03:00):
twenty twenty six to July nineteenth, twenty twenty six, and
it's going to be in Canada, Mexico, and the United States,
so it is going to be all over the place,
which is fine.

Speaker 5 (01:03:12):
But they were.

Speaker 6 (01:03:13):
Drawing the brackets so people would know where they were
going to compete in, what cities whatever.

Speaker 5 (01:03:17):
So it's a big deal.

Speaker 6 (01:03:18):
And Donald Trump was there and I can have my
audio please, Anthony, because I've just got to play this announcement.

Speaker 12 (01:03:27):
Please welcome the very first winner of the FIFA Peace Prize,
the forty fifth and forty seven President of the United
States of America, Mister Donald J.

Speaker 5 (01:03:39):
Trump.

Speaker 8 (01:03:40):
Please, now you.

Speaker 6 (01:03:44):
Can turn this down because I don't care about anything
that happens after that. Has there ever been a bigger
participation trophy than this one?

Speaker 5 (01:03:54):
Now, don't get me wrong.

Speaker 6 (01:03:55):
I think Donald Trump absolutely one hundred percent deserves to
get the Nobel Peace Prize one hundred percent. He has
done more for world peace since January than any other
world leader in the modern era that I can even
think of. And that's I mean, it's incredible. But what

(01:04:16):
is this even?

Speaker 5 (01:04:18):
What is this thing?

Speaker 2 (01:04:20):
Why?

Speaker 5 (01:04:21):
Why do we have this.

Speaker 9 (01:04:23):
Now?

Speaker 6 (01:04:23):
I went and did some digging because I wanted to know. Okay,
you know, like when you have the Nobel Peace Prize,
there's a whole process that you have to you have
to follow along, you have to be nominated, and then
the you know, the Nobel Peace Prize Committee votes on it,
so you know exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:04:35):
What the process is.

Speaker 6 (01:04:36):
So I used the Google and I was like, okay, Google,
when did FIFA decide to give a peace prize? Now,
on the wet hand, I will give FIFA credit. They
are truly an international sports body right way more than
the NFL or the NBA are, and they're trying, like
the NFL and the NBA are trying to do what
FIFA has already done and become a true world organization.

Speaker 5 (01:04:58):
But it appears that.

Speaker 6 (01:05:00):
They decided to have a FIFA Peace Prize in November
of this year, so like last month.

Speaker 5 (01:05:09):
I don't even know how.

Speaker 6 (01:05:09):
They got a trophy together that fast. I saw this
and I thought it was a joke.

Speaker 5 (01:05:14):
You guys.

Speaker 6 (01:05:16):
I couldn't understand what we were doing here, and if
this I'm trying to think of how to say this
next part without seeming super insulting because I did just
compliment Donald Trump and say he did deserve the Real
Peace Prize. But would you want this prize if you
were the president? Would you want it?

Speaker 5 (01:05:35):
Would you want the consolation Prize?

Speaker 6 (01:05:37):
I mean, we compete in the Colorado Broadcaster Association Awards
every single year, and I don't even think I kept
my runner up certificates. I don't care like you're the
you're the winner, or you're the first loser, right, I mean,
that's just my mentality. This is such a an obvious
pander that I would be like, yeah, no, I'm good,

(01:06:00):
you don't have to do that.

Speaker 5 (01:06:01):
It's all right.

Speaker 6 (01:06:02):
But you know Donald Trump loves a trophy, so he's there.
I just I found that a little bit silly, a
lot bit silly. You just activated my cars? Hey Google,
Hey Google, turn his car off?

Speaker 5 (01:06:15):
JK. Mandy.

Speaker 6 (01:06:17):
Which restaurant in Parker did you celebrate your anniversary? That
would be Wolf Peach Public House. And I don't do
commercials for them. I've spoken to the owner a couple
of times.

Speaker 11 (01:06:27):
But if you want a meal that is equal to
anything you would get at any restaurant in Denver without
that price point, Wolf Peaches amazing.

Speaker 6 (01:06:38):
Make a reservation because it's not big Mandy, shouldn't peta
be pronounced like feta, but with a pe as in
pete as opposed to peta. Should we call it peta
or peta then we could refer to their members as pedophiles.

Speaker 5 (01:06:54):
Oh, I like that.

Speaker 6 (01:06:55):
I like that's your visionary, sir or madam.

Speaker 5 (01:07:00):
This texture.

Speaker 6 (01:07:00):
I'm reflecting on the comments that I made about waste
fraud abuse. They said the problem is the politicians find
the waste and it gets recycled into their campaigns. I
wish that were true, but the reality is every once
in a while, somebody stumbles on some fraud that is
so out of control that they have to do something
about it. But the but mostly the rest of the time,

(01:07:24):
no one's really looking because everybody's got to get rich
from something, right.

Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and Injury Lawyers.

Speaker 2 (01:07:33):
No, it's Mandy Connell.

Speaker 3 (01:07:39):
On kam Got Study and the Nicy.

Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
Through Free Andy Connell Keeping the Sad Thing.

Speaker 13 (01:07:54):
Welcome, Local, Welcome.

Speaker 6 (01:07:55):
To the third hour of the show. I'm your host,
Mandy Connell. That guy is Anthony Riguez, and we're going
to take you right up until one pm. Although I
want to do a little sports talk right now till
one pm. I'm sorry, three pm. I want to do
a little sports talk right now, ay Rod, bring it.
Notre Dame has announced that they will pass on the

(01:08:19):
Pop Tart Bowl in Orlando, a second tier.

Speaker 5 (01:08:23):
Bowl at best. They ended the season ten and two.
They beat the.

Speaker 6 (01:08:29):
Crap out of their last eight opponents. They're one loss
to the University of Miami, and yet the college football
garbage playoff system gave them what we will forever call
the seminole treatment. They did the exact same thing to
Notre Dame they did to Florida State a couple of
years ago. And can we all just talk about the

(01:08:51):
fact that the college football ranking playoff system is such
hot garbage, absolute crash. And you know who's in it
with three losses, a Rod, guess who's in it?

Speaker 5 (01:09:06):
If you Alabama? Alabama?

Speaker 7 (01:09:09):
Oh, and then Tulane and James Madison, Oh well they
were conference winners.

Speaker 6 (01:09:15):
I mean, you know, Alabama is the one that sticks
in my crawl. Notre Dame should one hundred percent be
in there over Alabama. Florida State should have one hundred
percent been in there. Above Alabama, and yet Alabama, Oh
my god, they were so good last year. They're gonna
be great in the playoffs this year. Don't you think
they're gonna be amazing? They were back, They were amazing
back in twenty oh five, So we should kind of a.

Speaker 7 (01:09:37):
The fight off and then Notre Dame opting out of
a bowl game. Here's my biggest problem with all of this,
and it's that latter point of Notre Dame opting out.
November twenty ninth, Mandy Notre Dame's last game. Those seniors
had no idea it was going to be their last game. Yep,
but I voted on it. The team voted on a

(01:09:59):
one hundred perc. I don't care for those that said
to play it. If there was even one senior that
wanted to play in it, you play in that game, yeah,
well now those but now, those players that played in
that last game will never have that moment of pride
of tears with their brothers.

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
No.

Speaker 5 (01:10:16):
I think that being their last game that is so
childish of Notre Dame.

Speaker 6 (01:10:20):
Well, the problem is is that a lot of the
seniors are hoping to go pro, so they're not going
to play in some BS game, but not for those
that don't nothing, and before they're going to go to
the combines like they don't want to.

Speaker 5 (01:10:29):
Do that anyway.

Speaker 6 (01:10:31):
I got to say, I think Notre Dame taking this
stand maybe the thing that starts the ball rolling to
a more coherent, logical and rational college football playoff system,
because what we have now is just garbage.

Speaker 5 (01:10:43):
I don't think they care. I think they do because
they're lose.

Speaker 6 (01:10:47):
I mean I do think it matters because now this
that's a precedent. Right the next team that gets locked
out because Alabama was good in nineteen eighty three, they're
going to be able to say, look, we're not doing
this anymore, and then it becomes a huge problem.

Speaker 7 (01:11:00):
Honestly, the whole thing is just now they're staying on
college football. They still have it. They haven't gotten it
right in deaths, I mean the BCS and then when
they went to Honestly, the best it's been is when
the College Football Playoff was four teams right at the beginning,
four teams, the four best, you got two versus two,
and then the championship.

Speaker 5 (01:11:17):
That's it.

Speaker 6 (01:11:18):
Somebody said, should Notre Dame have gotten in with their
two losses over Miami. No, I don't think they should
have gotten in over Miami. I think they should have
gotten in over Alabama. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (01:11:28):
Yeah, the SEC bias is insane, ridiculous, and it was
set up.

Speaker 6 (01:11:32):
The guy who created the whole college football playoff system
was the freaking chairman of the SEC when he was
doing it.

Speaker 7 (01:11:38):
It is so stacked for the SEC. They have college football.
This is just one of the million problems that they have.

Speaker 6 (01:11:45):
Yep.

Speaker 7 (01:11:45):
And I'm not a fan of college ball really honestly
for a lot of reasons.

Speaker 5 (01:11:49):
This is just one of them. And now the first
round is going.

Speaker 7 (01:11:52):
To feature some blowouts that will just be lame, lame games.

Speaker 5 (01:11:56):
And it's just I am.

Speaker 6 (01:11:58):
Never going to cheer harder for college football team that
I'm going to be cheering for Oklahoma to beat Alabama
and shove it down the college playoff systems throats again.

Speaker 7 (01:12:07):
And in Indiana they'll face off. Yeah, my game on
the blood Today, We're gonna have a little.

Speaker 6 (01:12:12):
College football chat because that is the most hoosier interview
in the in the world, Like Panapoly of Hoo's your
interviews the quarterback for Indiana, Well, I could play it
for you. I can play it in its entirety because
there's a zero percent chance this kid's gonna curse.

Speaker 5 (01:12:27):
I think not. Oh wait, what is that?

Speaker 3 (01:12:31):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:12:31):
Hang on? That was that was CBS. Hang I closed it.

Speaker 6 (01:12:34):
Let me get down to that because it is just
it's adorable.

Speaker 5 (01:12:37):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (01:12:37):
So this is Indiana? Is it wins the Big Ten?
Which is huge. Indiana is not a football school. They
are a basketball school.

Speaker 5 (01:12:45):
We all know this. Everybody in Indiana knows this.

Speaker 6 (01:12:48):
But this is an interview with the quarterback Fernando Mendoza
after the game. He's just come off the field. He's
they're the Big Ten champs. Listen to this bit of wholesomeness.

Speaker 14 (01:12:58):
Oh, congratulations in Indiana the Big Ten champs?

Speaker 5 (01:13:02):
How does that sound?

Speaker 2 (01:13:04):
It sounds so beautiful.

Speaker 13 (01:13:05):
I want to give all the glory to Gone.

Speaker 5 (01:13:07):
We're never supposed to be in this position.

Speaker 13 (01:13:09):
But by the glory and Gone, the great coaches, great teammates,
and we have around us, we were able.

Speaker 7 (01:13:13):
To pull this off.

Speaker 5 (01:13:14):
Who never throw the hoodre be here, Bana Hoosiers are
flipping champs.

Speaker 14 (01:13:18):
Let's you guys call yourself a bunch of misfits who
found the right home at Indiana.

Speaker 5 (01:13:24):
Why was this the right place for this group.

Speaker 13 (01:13:26):
It's the right place for process orangine.

Speaker 5 (01:13:28):
We're going day by day.

Speaker 13 (01:13:30):
What is off at the line, the defense, the coaches,
special teams. We're all process Orangine to one goal. That's
our thing is we're brothers. We can drag teams to
the deep end because we know that we're gonna stick
together and we're the strongest glue ever.

Speaker 14 (01:13:42):
Tell me about finding Charlie Becker, third down, two minutes
to go. We talk about Heisman moments, but take me
through that one.

Speaker 13 (01:13:49):
And what an incredible Charlie has been bub He's been
every single day in summer. We were always throwing before practice,
before at seven am on Sundays, Julie's doing the routes
and now you see it to go for fruition. He's
not gonna be happy for such a young man as
well as well as our tea beat playing lights out
and well everybody, just what an incredible moment.

Speaker 14 (01:14:10):
Congratulations and Joya, Thank you so much.

Speaker 6 (01:14:12):
God bless cohosures And this kid looks like the widest
Indiana kid in the history of the world.

Speaker 5 (01:14:18):
Is adorable.

Speaker 7 (01:14:19):
Outside of reviewing the tape and putting through drills as
an NFL team, because this kid's gonna be one of
the top quarterbacks taken one of the top five top
ten picks the next NFL draft.

Speaker 5 (01:14:29):
Do you have to do any any interviews with.

Speaker 6 (01:14:31):
This guy at all to know it's a great human
You don't have.

Speaker 5 (01:14:34):
To at all. Just watch this on repeat. You don't
need to interview the guy.

Speaker 7 (01:14:37):
You know he's going to be a great leader for
your franchise on and off the field.

Speaker 5 (01:14:41):
What an interview?

Speaker 6 (01:14:42):
Yeah, and just like and he looks like Opie from
you know Mayberry. He just he is everything that you
would think of about an Indiana quarterback.

Speaker 7 (01:14:52):
Every ninety nine coach speak, players speak interviews that we
have to hear, and rightfully so because most of the
time it's about playing it safe, not giving bulletin border
material and towing the company line.

Speaker 5 (01:15:03):
So I understand it. It's in the business. I get it.
Every ninety nine of those is worth it to listen
to the one of that.

Speaker 6 (01:15:10):
Yep, uh, barf glory to God.

Speaker 5 (01:15:13):
That's just rude.

Speaker 6 (01:15:14):
And I feel sorry for you if that made you barf,
that he gave the glory to God.

Speaker 5 (01:15:18):
That just I feel bad for you.

Speaker 6 (01:15:19):
Texter Mandy, when did FSU win a last win a
national championship that would have been back in twenty thirteen,
thank you very much?

Speaker 5 (01:15:29):
Or Flipping Champs?

Speaker 6 (01:15:30):
I know, Flip and Champs. How adorable is that guy?

Speaker 5 (01:15:34):
He's adorable?

Speaker 6 (01:15:36):
All right, when we get back, I want to talk
for just a moment about a really Oh no, can
we play before we go a rod We've we've got
to play the audio which one Oh Joe Biden, Oh
give a speech?

Speaker 5 (01:15:48):
Oh yeah, my new new my new soundby.

Speaker 6 (01:15:52):
So Joe Biden. There's still trotting the old man out
there to make speeches. Wait, hang on, Joe, he's doing
the whisper thing. At the very beginning we listen to
him talk about the United States of America.

Speaker 9 (01:16:06):
Just have to get out as farm as we keep
the faith smon hope, and get back up and remember
who in the hell we are? We're then Edge States
of America.

Speaker 5 (01:16:16):
Got it?

Speaker 9 (01:16:17):
That's whar We're in the US and there's nothing.

Speaker 5 (01:16:21):
A marra got it America. AMA. On that note, we'll
be right back.

Speaker 9 (01:16:28):
We're the United States of America. Got it?

Speaker 6 (01:16:32):
And this text message came in said, Mandy, I like
your show. How can you give a texture a hard
time about saying that the quarterbacks shouldn't have said glory
to God, and in the next sentence make fun of
an old man who obviously has dementia, and Joe Biden
like him or not make fun of somebody who obviously
has dementia, And then the rest of the text doesn't
make sense.

Speaker 5 (01:16:52):
But I'm glad you brought this up.

Speaker 6 (01:16:54):
If Joe Biden had ridden off into the sunset and
we were like, we haven't even been playing the other
sound bite. Play the other SoundBite, now, please do it,
you know the one. We don't even play this anymore,
even though it's one of my favorites of all time,
because like you were, like, he's an old man.

Speaker 5 (01:17:10):
He obviously is.

Speaker 6 (01:17:11):
Yep, he's obviously addled. We don't want to pile on.

Speaker 5 (01:17:15):
But guess what, he keeps putting himself.

Speaker 9 (01:17:17):
Out there were the United States of America.

Speaker 6 (01:17:20):
And as long as he continues to put himself out
there as a thinking, rational human being, an adult, I
will take advantage of the comedy when it comes up,
just saying.

Speaker 5 (01:17:32):
I will take that.

Speaker 6 (01:17:34):
Mandy Biden often sounded like an old lady who's dentures
were slipping.

Speaker 5 (01:17:37):
Oh, and old man does the same thing.

Speaker 6 (01:17:41):
Where's the sound bites of your cult leader not able
to pronounce words? Let's hear him say a sceda minifin. Now,
what's funny about that? I'm assuming this texture is talking
about Donald Trump and maybe you just.

Speaker 5 (01:17:52):
Dipped into the show.

Speaker 6 (01:17:54):
But in today's text messages, I've been accused of having
Trump derangement syndrome. I've been told that my hatred of
Donald Trump is so severe that they had to change
the channel today because I criticized.

Speaker 5 (01:18:08):
Him a couple of times.

Speaker 6 (01:18:09):
And I made fun of the FIFA Peace Prize, which
just was made up by the International Soccer Organization apparently
just to a piece Donald Trump. So I either have
Trump arrangement syndrome or I'm maga. I find that wildly entertaining.

Speaker 5 (01:18:26):
I really do definitely definitely make fun of.

Speaker 15 (01:18:29):
This first effective immediately, the FDA will be notifying physicians
at the use of Well let's see how we said
see I said benafin, Yeah, we're gonna add that to
the docket.

Speaker 5 (01:18:45):
I mean Biden didn't at least pause when heated is Oh, hold.

Speaker 15 (01:18:48):
On, well let's see how we say.

Speaker 5 (01:18:55):
That goes on the button Mari Anthony.

Speaker 10 (01:19:00):
Well, let's see how we say that?

Speaker 5 (01:19:05):
Nice? Very nice?

Speaker 6 (01:19:08):
Yeah, excellent, Mandy the one who disrespected the player. That
person is only saying it to get attention. The Democratic
Party has yet to come up with anything that makes sense.
I'm not sure what you're I mean, Hey, that's the
same guy who wrote bar don't you kick him off
your show?

Speaker 5 (01:19:26):
Block and block what? I don't know you, guys.

Speaker 6 (01:19:30):
I'm just gonna say this. I used voice to text
all the time, so I know how challenging it could be.
Just check it, guys, just check it. I've gotten all
of these nonsensical text messages today that I don't know
what they're saying because voice to text did not did
not get it. And I gotta tell you, you have to
work pretty hard to get blocked by me on this show.
I'm pretty I'm pretty loosey goosey, like you know what

(01:19:54):
I mean, Like, I'm not mad at you about stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:19:57):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (01:19:57):
Did you see the Denver Spotify list, Anthony? Now, I
opened up this article from nine News, and I was
fully prepared to see a bunch of like hippie bands
that I had never heard of. But we two in
Colorado are relatively predictable. Who do you think sang the
top song in Denver? Take just a wild guest. It's

(01:20:18):
someone you've heard of. It's not someone obscure or deep
cut or whatever. The number one song in Denver in
twenty twenty five was Luther with by Kendrick Lamar and
Sissle Number two Ordinary by Alex Warren. I think that
was just from my daughter's Spotify count. They didn't even
need anybody else on that song. Number three Pink Pony Club,

(01:20:39):
which is my new CPR song, Pink Pony Club. That's
my you know, that's my rhythm for CPR. And then
there is another Kendrick Lamar song, TV Off and then
not Like Whoa Whoa. Kendrick Lamar had a huge year.
Three songs in.

Speaker 5 (01:20:53):
The top the top five albums.

Speaker 6 (01:20:56):
I'm the Problem by Morgan wallin K Pop, Demon Hunters
by Cap Demon Hunter's Cast, GNX by Kendrick Lamar. Is
that pronounced GNX? Or is that geticks or something?

Speaker 5 (01:21:05):
Okay?

Speaker 6 (01:21:06):
Sos Deluxe by Lana and Sizza, and a Bad Bunny
album that I can't pronounce because it's in the Espanol
kind of normal.

Speaker 5 (01:21:15):
You know, it's for Denver. It's normal. Yeah, that was Colorado,
Okay where he goes all of Colorado? It is Denver.

Speaker 6 (01:21:21):
My apologies top artists though Taylor Swift, well, she's hanging
in there even though there's no new albums, more.

Speaker 5 (01:21:29):
Music to make now that she won't be rooting for
the Chiefs in the playoffs. I know six seven.

Speaker 7 (01:21:35):
Because that's the Chiefs record. Ah Ing Bomb. Anyway, write
a song for Travis, make him feel better.

Speaker 5 (01:21:44):
When we get back.

Speaker 6 (01:21:45):
Scott James is a Weld County commissioner. He does a
really good newsletter that you should sign up for. It's
it's Weld County heavy, but he also talks about state issues.
When we get back, we're going to talk about an
extremely boring governmental agency you've probably.

Speaker 5 (01:21:59):
Never heard of.

Speaker 6 (01:21:59):
I never had, that has now been corrupted by the
politics of our governor.

Speaker 5 (01:22:03):
We'll do that next.

Speaker 6 (01:22:04):
Mandy, You're gonna love the Skotis notes on Katanji Brown
Jackson today. Which opinion Texter I'd like to know because
I'm curious about that. Katanji Brown Jackson has been checked
in opinions more than any other justice that I'm aware

(01:22:28):
of at this point.

Speaker 7 (01:22:30):
She has.

Speaker 6 (01:22:33):
She's made some pretty egregious errors apparently. And I am
not an attorney, I am not a Supreme Court justice,
so I'm not going to sit here in judgment on
her opinions because you know, I mean, I have an opinion,
but when other justices check you, I.

Speaker 5 (01:22:47):
Think that's a problem.

Speaker 6 (01:22:48):
Mandy, we haven't had an update on bad Bunny helping
design the White House ballroom.

Speaker 5 (01:22:52):
Need info?

Speaker 6 (01:22:55):
Yeah, yeah, I agree that deserves a slow clap of
some kind.

Speaker 5 (01:23:04):
Mandy. Is your trip sold out so close? We had?

Speaker 6 (01:23:07):
Last I checked, it might those last three cabins might
have been sold out, but they're actually trying to get
more cabins for our next Mandy Connell adventure. And I
got to tell you, guys, I am getting We're not
even going until next October, and I am getting so
excited about this trip for a multitude of reasons. I
found out that one of my friends lives just outside Cologne,
one of my college friends, so I'm going to see

(01:23:28):
her for lunch one day.

Speaker 5 (01:23:29):
I'm super excited.

Speaker 6 (01:23:30):
My mom is going, So if you've ever wanted to
know where I get my whack a doodle sense of humor,
it was not my father.

Speaker 5 (01:23:38):
It was my mother.

Speaker 6 (01:23:39):
One hundred percent, so you get a chance to meet her.
We're going from Switzerland down to Amsterdam. You can find
out more and go ahead and book your trip at
mandyconnell trip dot com. When I checked in about three
or four weeks ago, I guess maybe maybe a month
ago they were trying to get more cabins so we
can go.

Speaker 1 (01:23:58):
Mandy.

Speaker 6 (01:23:58):
Your diversity of information why I enjoy your program. Thank
you so much. Thank you appreciate that.

Speaker 5 (01:24:05):
Mandy.

Speaker 6 (01:24:06):
Your defense of making fun of an elderly man because
he's still out there, isn't christ like you're gonna make
fun of my disabled child because he is out there.
You know what, guys, this show is not a religious show.
And whether or not God judges me harshly when I
get to the pearly gates at some point is entirely between.

Speaker 5 (01:24:22):
Me and God. But I'm here to entertain you.

Speaker 6 (01:24:24):
And just because I hit a sore spot for you
today doesn't mean you haven't laughed at me making fun
of other people in the past. I'm just saying. And
as far as Joe Biden goes, his wife should be
ashamed of herself, but as long as he puts himself
out there, as an authority. By the way, he's making
like three hundred thousand dollars for these stupid speeches. So yeah,

(01:24:45):
he's putting himself out there. He's still terrible, And if
he wants to put himself out there, I'm going to
make fun of him because it's what I do on
a radio show. And if I get up to the
pearly gates and God has a problem with it, I'm
gonna look right at him and say, you made me
this way right like you did this, and we'll see

(01:25:06):
how it goes. Mandy, FSU and Notre Dame should have
any annuals, shouldn't even care bowl the SEC Bowl for short.
That's pretty funny. That's very so, that's very funny. Yeah, anyway,
the word derangement means a physical problem, psychosis, all in
the head.

Speaker 5 (01:25:25):
What again, Mandy.

Speaker 6 (01:25:28):
If anyone's listened to your show, they know you make
fun of everyone. Thank you very much, Mandy.

Speaker 5 (01:25:33):
Did you see this? Zo Ron Mom?

Speaker 6 (01:25:34):
Donnie taps an X con rapper who served seven years
for arm robbery as criminal justice advisor on the transition team.
You know what New York deserves what it is about
to get. And I love New York. I love New
York City. I love everything about it, but they are
about to get it and who can forget cafe fe Yep,

(01:25:57):
there you go.

Speaker 5 (01:25:59):
Sounds like this person more Joe clips.

Speaker 6 (01:26:00):
I'm not just gonna randomly sit here and pile on
Joe Biden clip after Joe Biden clipped. Like I said,
we had stopped playing my favorite SoundBite of Joe Biden
some time ago out of respect for the man. We're like,
he's not in office anymore. We probably shouldn't make fun
of him, although we will keep the Nancy Pelosi SoundBite.
What is the Nancy Pelosi SoundBite? Can you please play
that for me? A Rod, just let me hear it
one more time. He's not listening right now. A Rod

(01:26:24):
is the worst producer I've ever had in my entire life.
I can't believe they make Oh now he's listening. Oh wait,
just kidding. I wanted to hear the Nancy Pelosi sound
bite because we're playing that one forever.

Speaker 5 (01:26:35):
Tck tech toe a winner.

Speaker 6 (01:26:38):
There you go, tic tac toe a winner. Nancy knows,
but see she doesn't sound elderly in that one. Mandy
Trump removed black holidays from free National parks days, but
added his birthday and Flag Day, which is not a
federal holiday. When will this guy be enough of a
racist a hole for people to see him what he is? Pathetic?

(01:27:00):
Let me go over to Today's blog. On Today's blog,
it says this. It says, I can't imagine why people
think Republicans are racist. As my headline that I wrote
about this very story, this is the kind of petty
bs crap that I absolutely loathe. Today is full of

(01:27:20):
all the things I loathe about Donald Trump. Like genuinely,
today's every story that I saw about Donald Trump.

Speaker 5 (01:27:27):
I was like, are you kidding me? Today? Are you joking?

Speaker 6 (01:27:34):
And they're not from the San Francisco newspaper. I don't
know what the name of the San Francisco Gate is
that what it's called, I don't know. Martin Luther King
Day is an annual holiday that happens on the third
Monday of January, and historically it's been the first fee

(01:27:54):
free day of the year at National parks, which waive
entrance fees several days a year. Now, visitors to the
one hundred and sixteen parks the charge interest fees will
no longer get in free for Mlkday.

Speaker 5 (01:28:06):
Or June teenth.

Speaker 6 (01:28:08):
That's a federal holiday on June nineteenth that celebrates the
end of slavery in the US. Although technically slavery had
already ended. It was when the last slaves in Texas
were notified that slavery had been over for two years.

Speaker 5 (01:28:21):
Okay, so that's what Juneteenth is.

Speaker 6 (01:28:24):
Now on June fourteenth, which is Trump's birthday, you will
be able to get in free. This is just so
petty and small and stupid and just another unnecessary nonsense
that Donald Trump has created.

Speaker 5 (01:28:41):
It's just stupid. First of all, I.

Speaker 6 (01:28:45):
Thought Juneteenth was a dumb holiday when it first came around.

Speaker 5 (01:28:48):
I was like, what are we doing?

Speaker 6 (01:28:48):
Why do we need another federal holiday, because you know,
us normal people, we don't get federal holidays off. Just
workers who work for the government do. It's fine and
banking people the rest of us are all at work
on those days. But the more I thought about it,
the more I think that Juneteenth is actually an incredible
holiday for all of us in the United States of

(01:29:09):
America because it marks the true end of the scourge
of slavery in the United States of America. It was
when the last people were notified that they were free
after a war that claimed so many lives. We fought
a war against ourself to stop slavery, and Juneteenth is

(01:29:29):
like the punctuation mark of that battle. And I think
that is something every American should celebrate except Donald Trump.

Speaker 5 (01:29:37):
Manby.

Speaker 6 (01:29:37):
It's hilarious when libtards try to throw Christ in there,
like your side literally dissects children. Okay, I hear that,
but I have no way of knowing what the political
leanings or the religious leanings of that texture are. They
may be a deeply religious person who really is worried
about my soul. They could just be a liberal Chinese
score points. I don't know, But either way is Mandy

(01:30:01):
mocking Joe Biden is my constitutional duty. The crook I
like to call in barisma. Joe is a dufus not sorry.
Left wing cultists are offended.

Speaker 9 (01:30:10):
Both States of America, got it?

Speaker 6 (01:30:17):
Jess keeps getting better. That one is gonna age like
fine wine. Did you hear it, Grant?

Speaker 5 (01:30:22):
Did you get the full the full thing? Did you
hear the new SoundBite? Did you hear it?

Speaker 9 (01:30:25):
Oh? Yeah, We're the States of americat it?

Speaker 5 (01:30:29):
M America americata?

Speaker 6 (01:30:35):
Is that any relation to in a Gotta Davida is
that it every single day is about your TDS says
this texture. Wow, you and your liberal listeners sure are
having fun today.

Speaker 5 (01:30:48):
Just keep on piling them up.

Speaker 6 (01:30:50):
I can't help it when Donald Trump does stuff that
is so dumb, I can no longer hold it in.

Speaker 10 (01:30:56):
Well, let's see how we say that.

Speaker 6 (01:31:00):
Yeah, what I don't understand is people that are incapable
of criticizing Donald Trump for anything. I'm genuinely confused by that.
I'm genuinely confused that there are people in this country
who believe that Donald Trump can do no wrong, that

(01:31:20):
everything he does is magic. The deciding to not give
people free access to a national park is what's the
upside there, Texter? Since you are the authority on all
things that are pro Trump and anti Trump, I'm genuinely curious,
why was that necessary?

Speaker 5 (01:31:39):
Why was it?

Speaker 6 (01:31:40):
I mean, if he had just added his own birthday,
I would have been like, right on, we get another free.

Speaker 5 (01:31:43):
Day at the parks.

Speaker 6 (01:31:44):
But he didn't just add his own birthday. He took
the two holidays that are remotely connected to black people,
and he took them off the list while adding himself.
So please spend that spin that in a way that
is less awful than it actually is. And I'll be
happy to share it, just happy to share it. But

(01:32:05):
I don't think this textter can do it. I don't
think that they can rationally look at the stuff that Donald.

Speaker 5 (01:32:09):
Trump does and go, God, that's stupid.

Speaker 6 (01:32:12):
Which is, honestly, what needs to be said. Sometimes, if
you are a thinking, rational person, you should be able
to look at the stuff that he's done. That's good,
establish peace across many parts of the world that did
not have peace before codifying tax cuts into law, that
lower taxes were a vast majority of us. These things

(01:32:33):
are good, and you should be able to say those
are good. That's why I like the guy.

Speaker 5 (01:32:36):
But when he does something.

Speaker 6 (01:32:37):
Asinine like this, are you incapable of saying this is asinine,
this is unnecessary.

Speaker 5 (01:32:43):
Why in the world would he do this? And if
you can't, then.

Speaker 6 (01:32:47):
I don't value your opinion as much as I value
the opinion of someone who can look at both things
and well evaluate them Honestly, If we cannot criticize the
president of the United States, and we cannot criticize a
former president of the United States just because he's old,
even though he keeps putting his old ass out there,

(01:33:09):
and he keeps saying stupid things for.

Speaker 9 (01:33:11):
The United States of America.

Speaker 6 (01:33:13):
Exactly, if we can't criticize them, what do we even have?

Speaker 5 (01:33:17):
What are we even doing here?

Speaker 10 (01:33:19):
I said, well, let's see how we say that.

Speaker 5 (01:33:22):
Yep, Mandy.

Speaker 6 (01:33:24):
The thing that I find so frustrating about Trump is
if he could just move past his petty ego related issues,
I think he would get the adulation from the public
that he seems to be seeking. Spot on Texter, if
he could just throw away the garbage and stay with well,
I don't know. I am losing faith in Trump's campaign

(01:33:50):
promises about putting America first, just straight up.

Speaker 5 (01:33:54):
I don't. I don't. I'm not feeling it.

Speaker 6 (01:33:57):
I think the fact that last week when he said
that affordability is a fake issue and that no one's
really talking about affordability, that said something to me that
was just.

Speaker 5 (01:34:08):
A really not good thing at all.

Speaker 6 (01:34:13):
Trump can do no wrong, says this Texter is the
Trump delusion syndrome.

Speaker 5 (01:34:17):
That's kind of interesting, Mandy.

Speaker 6 (01:34:20):
The question is is he trying to take your eye
off with the free National Park issue?

Speaker 2 (01:34:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:34:25):
That's the other thing I think about that all the time.
I'm like, if this is what I like to call
a look over here, right?

Speaker 5 (01:34:30):
And look over here.

Speaker 6 (01:34:31):
Is when a politician who doesn't want you to pay
attention to what they're doing throws up some ridiculous, nonsensical
issue that a vast majority of people are never going
to be affected by. But it sounds really scary, right,
And that's their efforts to get you to look over
there instead of looking.

Speaker 5 (01:34:45):
At what they're doing.

Speaker 6 (01:34:46):
What exactly are we looking away from? Trump does everything
in the face of the American people. He puts everything
on truth social he doesn't shy away from their reporters.
He doesn't hide in his basement. That is something I
give him credit for. So what is the point of this?
I just don't I don't know, Mandy. Trump's birthday is

(01:35:09):
also Flag Day and the Army's birthday.

Speaker 5 (01:35:12):
Fantastic, fantastic.

Speaker 6 (01:35:15):
Did he have to take away the free park admission
with the other parks. It's just a dumb thing, Mandy.
At least Biden wasn't cruel and evil. He didn't stay
awake nights posting hateful garbage and insults. No, he gave
a speech in Philadelphia where he screamed at everybody he
disagreed with and called his horrible people. So go f yourself, texter,
I don't want to hear about how nice Joe Biden is.

(01:35:38):
Just shut your pie hole anyway. Nick Ferguson wanders into
the studio on that, Wow, I am so sick of
Joe Biden is a nice guy. That is such a
load of crap. And tomorrow we're gonna get into New
York Times reporting about how he ignored everybody who said,
if you keep the border open, it's going to be
a humanitarian crisis, and he did it. Anyway, Is that

(01:35:58):
what a nice man does? No, it is not, I
guess not.

Speaker 16 (01:36:03):
But I just walked into some fire and brimstone.

Speaker 6 (01:36:07):
Right, here's the thing, Like, I voted for Donald Trump
three freaking times, but the stuff he does sometimes is stupid,
and I should be able to say that is a
stupid thing. And we've got these texters and you're like, oh,
you really hate Donald Trump. Your Trump derenchment syndrome is showing.

Speaker 10 (01:36:23):
Well, let's see how.

Speaker 6 (01:36:25):
My rational thinking is showing. And you're confusing the two.

Speaker 5 (01:36:29):
I love rational thinking. I try, yes, I try.

Speaker 6 (01:36:33):
Mandy not a maga guy, But can you define affordability.
Affordability is a feeling. Affordability is when you can write
all the checks that I know nobody writes checks anymore,
but go with me. You write all the checks for
your life, and at the end of the ever month,
you don't feel like, holy crap, how am I gonna
feed my kids?

Speaker 5 (01:36:50):
Now when you have.

Speaker 6 (01:36:51):
That, holy crap, how am I gonna feed my kids?
Pay my power bill, make my car payment, pay my
you know I'm gonna be able to I'm never gonna
be able to buy a house. Those are all the
perception of affordability. Affordability is making enough money to cover
life's stuff and maybe have a little left over at
the end. That's affordability, and we don't have that now.
There are a lot of people living paycheck to paycheck

(01:37:12):
that weren't living paycheck to paycheck two three years ago
before inflation went out of control. It's a big deal,
and for him to just act like it doesn't matter
is insulting to all those people struggling.

Speaker 5 (01:37:24):
Right now, Oh, let's.

Speaker 6 (01:37:27):
Speak of checks for a moment, because you not you personally,
Nick Ferguson, but you do get to give out the
cardboard check. You get to give out big old fat
checks for twenty five hundred dollars as part of a
Heroes thank you, Yes.

Speaker 5 (01:37:39):
Thank you for bringing it up. Mandy.

Speaker 16 (01:37:41):
It is that time of year once again where you
can send in your emails text messages for those individuals
who have served in armed forces or are other service
members in I guess the fire department, right MS, or
even the police department. Yes, so this is that time

(01:38:02):
of year, and I love it because we get these
extraordinary stories that are tear jerkers, and we wish that
we can help every single person, but we can't.

Speaker 5 (01:38:13):
We try to do what we can.

Speaker 16 (01:38:14):
But yes, send those in to us and we'd love
to read them and give someone twenty five hundred dollars.
I'm sure everyone could use that right by now.

Speaker 5 (01:38:23):
Amen to that.

Speaker 6 (01:38:24):
And you know, this is one of those things where
if you think to yourself, oh, they get so many nominations,
they really don't. So if you know a ve are
in our first responder, especially someone maybe they're having a
little bit of a hard time this year.

Speaker 5 (01:38:36):
Yes, maybe they.

Speaker 6 (01:38:37):
Lost a job, maybe they're you know, having a health issue,
maybe they got a new baby, maybe they got whatever
now's the time to make a nomination. You can go
to Koa Colorado dot com forward Slash Contests and make
your entry there and looking forward to that.

Speaker 5 (01:38:52):
So that's all. Then, thanks for our friends.

Speaker 6 (01:38:53):
Aton is a Common Spirit Health and Fix the twenty
four to seven and one of my favorite clients, so
they are sponsoring that this year.

Speaker 16 (01:39:00):
Oh we we love everyone's contribution, So thank you ran
to use that the airways to bring that up to
our loyal listeners.

Speaker 5 (01:39:09):
Well, I love that.

Speaker 6 (01:39:11):
It's one of my favorite things we do. I think
it's fantastic and it makes me sad that more people
don't have.

Speaker 5 (01:39:19):
They they're not.

Speaker 6 (01:39:20):
I think part of the problem is that every first
responder or veteran thing, somebody else needs it more right,
you know it's like, oh somebody else needs No, your
people need it.

Speaker 5 (01:39:29):
Just do it, dominate yourself.

Speaker 6 (01:39:32):
Yeah, there you go, There you go. All right, Nick,
we were talking. Let me ask your opinion really quickly
in twenty seconds or less. Nick Ferguson, how much crap
is it that Notre Dame got skipped to put Alabama
back in the college playoff.

Speaker 5 (01:39:46):
That's Notre Dame's fault. No, it's not. It is their fault.

Speaker 2 (01:39:49):
No, it's not.

Speaker 6 (01:39:50):
It's the garbage college football playoff system.

Speaker 5 (01:39:52):
Mandy.

Speaker 16 (01:39:52):
You gave me twenty seconds, right. It is Notre Dame's
fault because they decided not to be in a conference,
not to be in ACC but.

Speaker 5 (01:40:00):
In other sports but not football.

Speaker 16 (01:40:02):
So they thought they were just bigger than everyone else
and they were just gonna shove them in because they
were kind of a college blue blah.

Speaker 5 (01:40:07):
That's not how it was. They should nick.

Speaker 7 (01:40:10):
If you were a senior on that Notre Dame team,
you did not know that you had just played your
last game, would you not be pissed?

Speaker 5 (01:40:17):
The team voted. The team voted to go to the bowler.

Speaker 7 (01:40:19):
I told even if one senior said they want to
play in it, they should have played in it.

Speaker 5 (01:40:23):
Just one. They should have a rod is right now.
He's right.

Speaker 6 (01:40:27):
Alabama loses once again, and they got in because the
whole playoff system is raked for the SEC. Alabama's garbage.
I will die on this hill. They don't believe to
be in there. Notre Dame should be in there.

Speaker 16 (01:40:39):
I believe the SEC is built up too much. I
am right there with you, busy. Once again, this is
Notre dame's fault.

Speaker 6 (01:40:46):
Anyway, I hate it when Nick's wrong, and it's time.

Speaker 5 (01:40:50):
For the sement. Off the radio on its guide the world.
