Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to a Monday edition of the show.
But it's the Monday of the week before Christmas, so
mentally we've already checked out. You have, I have, everyone
has no. If you're a doctor or nurse, please don't,
but the rest of us with kind of dumb jobs. Yeah,
I said it. We've already mentally checked out for the holidays.
Anthony Rodriguez, you're to ride shotgun and make the show

(00:49):
sound good, So we will take you right through the
day up until three p m. And until then, Boy
do I have a lot of stuff on my plate.
I love today's blog because it has a bunch of
everything on it, so much stuff on it, so many
different interesting things, and we have so many interesting things

(01:09):
to talk about. Let's jump right in. Go to mandy'sblog
dot com. That's mandy'sblog dot com. Look for the headline
that says twelve sixteen twenty four blog Vets Helping vets
how to train your muscles and more. Click on that
and here are the headlines you will find within Hi
Tech A winner.

Speaker 5 (01:28):
I didn't's missing office outenmericon all with ships and clipments
and say that's going to press plat.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Today.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
On the blog real estate pro veterans are helping other veterans?
What is the most efficient way to wait train? Natalie
Tennant wants her side of the drama out. Want to
go big for Christmas? How about Japan? Want to go
small for Christmas? How about a cameo for me? The
hypocrisy of the Denver City Council. Yes, Democrats are over
regulating us to death. It was the best of games.

(01:56):
It was the worst of games. Our society is sick.
You can't rent an Airbnb for a New Year's Eve party.
This climber was either really smart or really dumb. A
ginormous Iceberg is on the move. Harvard strikes a conciliatory tone.
My favorite story of twenty twenty four. Here's the Biden
admin lying about the drones. What's the deal with seed

(02:17):
oils anyway? Happy birthday to us, best white elephant gift ever?
More absolute garbage from Jared Poulos's presidential campaign. The dirty
truth about the Santa Claus. This lady is right about
the drones. This theory about what they're doing is scary though.
Thank you for being a friend. Some cool Colorado winter

(02:39):
things to put on your calendar when holiday movies were
filmed in Colorado. Oh, CNN, bless your hearts. Congrats to
Travis Hunter and who really supports political violence? Those are
the headlines on the blog at mandy'sblog dot com. And
big congratulations to see you Buffalo Travis Hunter. He has

(03:00):
now won everything that I think he could possibly win.
I mean, I believe so. He won. He won awards
on the offensive side of the ball, on the defensive
side of the ball. Now he is the Heisman Trophy
winner Outstanding Outstanding Athlete. This kid is just incredible. But
I'm here to tell him that your girlfriend is not

(03:22):
the supportive woman that you need in your life.

Speaker 6 (03:25):
Now.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
I don't know if you guys know this, and I'm
gonna start with this and I'm not gonna go on
about it for a long time, but let me tell
you something. When you see someone in a relationship that
is not going to work out long term, you have
to say something. Now, I don't know either of these
young people, they could be blissfully happy. I don't know
other than what has happened over this last weekend, but
I do know this that when you are getting any

(03:50):
kind of recognition for something, your biggest cheerleader should be
your partner in life. They should be the onesping the hardest,
They should be the ones cheering the loudest. They should
be the ones supporting you the most. And that was
not on display this weekend. And the reason I say
this is because during the Heisman ceremony, after Travis Hunter

(04:15):
was announced, Dion Sanders leaps to his feet. Travis Hunter's
mom leaps to her feet to apply girlfriend sits there.
I was appalled.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
I was appalled. And then I guess he was at
some kind of signing after the Heisman Trophy and she's
sitting off to the side bitching at him while he's
having his moment, while he's signing autographs for people, and
she's arguing with him. That is very indicative of a
toxic personality trait. Now, I don't know anything about Travis Hunter.
He could be a rotten boyfriend for all I know.

(04:48):
I don't know. She could be the best girlfriend in
the world except for this past weekend. But you guys,
if the person in your life is not your biggest cheerleader,
you don't need them in your life. And I mean
that from the very depths of my being because I
have been in that situation where someone gets jealous of
your success, where someone is passive aggressive about your success.

(05:13):
And one of the things I love about my husband,
if you've ever met Chuck, Chuck is the head, the president,
the lifetime CEO of the Mandy Fan Club, and he
is always the first person out, almost to the point
of embarrassing me, because he's such an enthusiastic supporter of
me and everything in my life. And I am the

(05:34):
same for him, right I support him in the things
that he does and the things that he wants to do.
I mean, that is what makes a relationship. You should
always be your partner's biggest fan. Now, don't get me wrong,
that doesn't mean you walk around going you're so esome,
You're so great. That's not what I'm talking about. But
in this situation, she did not show herself. Well, that's

(05:56):
all I'm saying. So I hope that she Maybe you'll
hear somebody saying Why didn't you? Why weren't you? I
don't know, but it's miserable to go through life, especially
when you are as obviously talented as this young man
is with someone who isn't there to stand and cheer
when you are being getting the biggest accolade of your
life to date. And that's what happened this weekend. And

(06:17):
I just thought that was sad, just sad. So I
hope maybe she decides to turn that around, and if
she does, I wish them many many years of happiness.
If she doesn't, I would advise mister Hunter to move on.
I'm just saying, when you have to explain your girlfriend
for her behavior at a major event, that's a big, big, big,

(06:39):
biggest red flag in the world. Absolutely, and they've been
together for five years. Somebody hit the text line, the
Common Spirit Health text line at five sixty six nine
now and said she loves Hunter's money. I don't doubt
that she loves him, Okay, I really don't. She's been
with him for five years, well before he had any
name and likeness money. I mean, she's been with him

(06:59):
for a long time. They've been together since high school.

Speaker 7 (07:02):
I get it.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
But what I'm saying is you don't want that person
that you have to explain their behavior in your life
long term. Been there, done that, got the scars to
prove it. Not gonna do it again. So anyway, anyway, Mandy,
I might need a dumb job working for FedEx. This
is our busy season, and God bless each and every

(07:23):
one of you delivery drivers because you make my Christmas possible.
Can I just start really quickly and then we're going
to get into some of the sof We got to
talk about the drone stuff, because that is I haven't
really talked about it because it's kind of been up
to this point. It's like we don't know what's going on,
and there are things flying over the sky and we're
not sure what's happening. But now there's a lot of
rumors out there and I don't have any way to

(07:45):
fact check the rumors, but I had This is what
happened to me this weekend, Anthony. On Saturday, my TV
and my den crapped out the TV we watched all
the time. But that was a manageable situation. I looked
at Chuck and I said, would you like a new
TV for Christmas? He said, would you like a new

(08:07):
TV for Christmas? And I said yes, So we went
to Costco and we got a big TV and we
said Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas. So that that was fine.
But additionally, my computer that I use at home that
has everything important in my life on it also completely
crapped out. So that's crap out number two. And then

(08:29):
this morning I'm driving to work and my delightfully unblemished
new windshield that I got October twenty third of this year.

Speaker 5 (08:38):
I don't say it was struck by a rock. I
feel that I just did mine too.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
Now I have a question for you guys who know
about glass repair. Right now, it looks like like a
little kind of a bull's eye with a few spikes
coming out of it. Oh yeah, can I do something
to make that not get bigger?

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Well safe light? If it's less than what I just did.
If it's less than six inches, I think it's in
repair state. Right once it starts to get beyond six
it's replaced state. Okay, So jumping on that potentially a
sat to see if there's any possiblity.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
I'm there, I mean, because I have a stupid expensive windshield. Again,
because I have a Mercedes.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
Why why do you not have full glass cover?

Speaker 4 (09:20):
They don't offer that with USA. You cannot buy a
rider for your windshield.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
Man, that's rough.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Yep, Well, I mean it makes my insurance more based
on what I just paid, which was do you what mean? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (09:32):
But how much do you pay extra month that rider?

Speaker 3 (09:36):
Probably a decent amount, but I mean full glass repair
is what hundreds and hundred hundred bucks?

Speaker 4 (09:39):
Well, I just paid fifty dollars, right, But how much
have you paid over the last two years?

Speaker 5 (09:43):
Oh no, I'm saying insurance.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yeah, it's quite a bit, but it's worth it because
I think you probably do it on average, well once.

Speaker 5 (09:48):
A year, I am.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
This was my I did my first window or windshield
replacement was last October.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Also being fifty dollars like every year or two, even
if you don't have cracks or whatnot, just like kind
of where on the windshield like marking.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
Yeah, this it got really bad with a pitting. Yeah,
the pope was so bad that the sun hit my windshield.
I couldn't see anything.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Taking advantage of that even if you don't have cracks,
is I mean for fifty dollars.

Speaker 4 (10:08):
Yeah, but you got to add in all of the
extra that you're paying on the on the insurance on
the front end.

Speaker 5 (10:13):
I don't think it's on mine too much.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Okay, Yeah, I'd love to know. I'm just curious. I'm
not beating you up in any way, shape or form
for having it, because obviously it is a money saver
in Colorado, where windshields only last like five seconds. So
I've never lived in a place where windshields got cracked
like they do here and rocks fall.

Speaker 5 (10:32):
Out of the sky.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
There's nobody even around you, and a rock falls out
of the sky, It's like, what are birds just a
holes here?

Speaker 2 (10:37):
What is going on?

Speaker 5 (10:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (10:38):
They are, like birds are flying over like, yeah, I'm
gonna get this guy bam dropping a rock out of
it a little claw. It's terrible, absolutely terrible. Got a
lot of guests coming up today. We are going to
talk with a guy named Jeff Sorb. He is with
the Veterans Association of Real Estate Professionals. I love organizations
where veterans help other veterans because not every veteran comes

(11:01):
out of the military smoothly, but every veteran who comes
out of the military still most I should say most
all the veterans I know still feel a sense of
responsibility for other veterans, and it manifests itself in a
variety of ways. This is a group of real estate
professionals and tonight they're having a big party for kids
of veterans. It's just a great group and we're going

(11:22):
to talk to them at twelve thirty about what they're doing.
And then I'm super interested to talk to Charlie Hale
from the Shred app. Shred is a very good app
weightlifting app. If you've never checked it out, it's quite good.
It gives you daily workouts. If you want to create
a plan within Shred, you can do it. If you're
new to weightlifting. Their beginning weightlifting plans are very very

(11:42):
good in the sense that they talk about form and
other things like that to prevent you from hurting yourself.
But we're going to talk to him today about the
most efficient way to weight train. They're making the argument
that training to failure every single workout is the way
to go.

Speaker 5 (11:56):
I'm glad I looked I might change this one hundred
and twenty dollars a month.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
So you way overpaid for your one windshield a year.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
Man.

Speaker 5 (12:03):
Yeah, I have to uh, just all you have to.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
Do is reallocate four months of that or maybe six
months because you and Joscelyn, because that's for two cars, right,
just just on your own go mine. No, you're getting
ripped off with that aou, because I mean you're like
even my windshield which was expensive with five point fifty,
so that's five months worth of weather.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
It was privy mine says one thousand. So this is
it falls under comprehensive. So I have a thousand dollars
deductible and then one hundred dollars glass deductible. And I
changed it without having the glass to just one thousand
dollars deductible for comprehensive and it went down one hundred
and twenty dollars a month.

Speaker 4 (12:40):
That's a lot.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
I might. I might do that now that I just
got the glass.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
Mandy, do it yourself. Buy a ten dollars kit from
the auto parts store. My last car had an uncracked
windshield with thirty two repaired pits in it. Do you
really think I strike you as the sword who's going
to be able to fix something on my car? Let's
be real people, Do.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
You think it can change this now? And to a
should I wait like a month to talk to your wife. No, No,
I'm saying in terms of was it paid for? Like
I paid the fifty dollars, I got the new glass,
like I.

Speaker 8 (13:06):
Got you paid.

Speaker 4 (13:08):
You already paid that they got that money from you
a long time ago.

Speaker 5 (13:11):
Good thing.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
Replacing my twenty eighteen Toyota RAB four was twelve hundred
dollars with the recalibration of the line departure. Okay, you guys,
I'm not knocking any major repair company, but I was
told by a major repair company who advertises on radio
quite a bit that you know, everyone knows that I
had to have my windshield recalibrated. I called my Mercedes

(13:33):
mechanic that I go to, and he said, I have
a guy. That guy said, unless they totally screw up
your windshield, you don't have to have it recalibrated. That's
kind of a racket, I think. And I had my
windshield replaced by said guy. They did not recalibrate my
windshield and everything works fine. So there you go.

Speaker 9 (13:52):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
Let's talk for a second. We've got We've got one
more guest after the weight training guest, and that is
Natalie Tenant. And Todd Watkins are coming on, you know,
the drama with Colorado Gop. We should just start it's
our own soap opera care on the Mandy Connell Show,
like today in this episode of what as the Colorado
Gop turns? You know, but they're they're being besmirched by

(14:16):
the team at the Colorado GOP, which is ironic, I realize,
because you know, the Colorado Gop is playing the victim.
Now just wait for the soap opera at two thirty.
Can we get some soaproper music before that, a rod
as a bounce back? Please? But Natalie and Todd would
like to come on and defend themselves against the kind
of nonsense that uh is happening right now, Mandy. What

(14:38):
you describe can be fixed. Do not wash your car
until it's fixed. The car washed wax can affect the repair.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
You're also lucky it's not super cold, yeah, yeah, real
quick if it's cold, yeah.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
Because that's how my small crack ended up going like insane?

Speaker 5 (14:54):
How big is it right now?

Speaker 10 (14:55):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (14:55):
It's tiny. It's it's maybe the size of a dime.

Speaker 5 (14:58):
Mine was about that and it w quick.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
Yeah, okay, so I gotta.

Speaker 5 (15:02):
Get I think is the is the number like more
than that you're looking at?

Speaker 4 (15:07):
Okay, well, then I'm going to seek that out. I'm
gonna call my windshield guy back and say how much
to fix this little nugget before it becomes a big thing.
But man, what a weekend of stuff crapping out on me?

Speaker 11 (15:16):
What?

Speaker 4 (15:16):
What is going on? All the big sales are going
on right now?

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Did you?

Speaker 4 (15:23):
I mean maybe somebody else, maybe somebody else has a
voodoo do all of all. My electronic equipment is just
stabbing it all. I don't know a lot of people
in their minds recently, probably no one.

Speaker 11 (15:35):
You know.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
I've been living kind of like straight and narrow. It's fine.
There's nothing to see here, nothing to see all right.
So I got a couple of things on the blog
i'd checked today with Cruise and Tour had some people
expressing some interest now in doing our Japan trip that
is coming up in June. If you want to swing
for the fences and give the best gift ever, buy
this trip to Japan and we we can take a

(15:57):
few some more people until basically like middle of January,
I think. So I put the link to that on there,
and I did it a rod.

Speaker 6 (16:05):
I did it.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
What did you do?

Speaker 4 (16:07):
I created a cameo account. I did it. And if
you don't know a cameo, this is like the cheesiest
thing ever fun of me.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
Please, I'm gonna ruin your cameo right now. Everyone that
wants to put in a request demand that she uses
the accent we all want.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
I'm not doing that until January thirty five.

Speaker 5 (16:23):
That's unfortunate because that sounds like it's gonna be in
every request.

Speaker 4 (16:25):
Now, well, that would no, that will require an extra,
like one hundred dollars.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
How much is it? It's twenty five bucks.

Speaker 4 (16:30):
I figured that was very reasonable.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
So you're telling me right now if someone submits, let's say,
a hundred, yea, one hundred dollars, you'll do it.

Speaker 6 (16:38):
You guys.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
I'm very conflicted about the accent, and we're talking about
my accent that I had growing up. It feels like
I'm making fun of people that still have that accent.
I don't like that.

Speaker 5 (16:47):
No one will take it as such.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
I feel that way to your king or now that
accent are mocked, it's still okay to make fun of
people that sound like that in our in our society.
And I don't feel like I don't want to feel
like I'm piling.

Speaker 5 (16:59):
Up the people.

Speaker 4 (17:01):
If you're a Mandy fan in your life and you'd
want to give them a little greeting for me, you
can do that. Just go to came I'd put a
link on it. I still feel like the biggest tool
in the world, but I'm doing it. This is all
for q's college fund. So if you want my daughter
to go to college, I'm not saying that you should participate,
but I'm just saying.

Speaker 5 (17:17):
I'm going one hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
Make a burner cameo, Pay one hundred dollars, get the
accent plate on the other next.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
You don't even have to make a a cameo to
do this. You just go fill out the stuff and
then they send it.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
You want to make a burner name, I'm going to
put in.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
No requesting from Mike Rosen wants to hear Mandy's accent
and then it plays on the air the next day.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
No, No, that would be awful. That would be a
horrible skulduggery thing to do. That would be really terrible,
really really terrible. Mandy must be that plate in your head.
I wish I had a plate in my head. Now
I could go around smashing things with my head. That
would be pretty cool. Anyway, super glue works.

Speaker 12 (17:57):
What no?

Speaker 4 (17:59):
What stop it? Somebody pointed out it might be one
hundred and twenty dollars for the term of the insurance,
which would be six months. Or is that your own monthly? No,
that's your monthly?

Speaker 5 (18:10):
Wait a second, you might be honest one.

Speaker 4 (18:12):
Yeah, that might be for six months. Oh please you
say so. We'll find that out. But if you want
to give the gift that no one wants, now, I
have a cameo account, so you can do it. There
you go, made that happen. Can we talk about these No,
we're going to do the drones, not next because we've
got a guest coming up, So let me talk about this.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
It is for the term six months, split over so much.
That's not that much My insurance would go down? Yeah,
by thirty twenty thirties a month. Yeah, yeah, that's not bad.

Speaker 5 (18:39):
No, not at all.

Speaker 4 (18:40):
You're not being raked over the coals at that rate.
Thank you Texter for clarifying that. For a Rod got
a lot of stuff on the blog today, but can
we just have two minutes on yesterday's Broncos game. By
the end of yesterday's Broncos game, I was more in
for Bonix and the Broncos that I'd been in for years,
you know. And why he played like hot garbage in

(19:02):
the first half. Yes, And instead of coming out in
the second half and playing like he knew he played
like hot garbage in the first half, he came out
and got it done. And when the offense was struggling,
the defense was like, we got you boo.

Speaker 5 (19:15):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
It was a thing of beauty for an ugly game.

Speaker 5 (19:19):
Bonit stepped up, the defense doted up.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
We definitely didn't have any help from someone fumbling at
the goal line that would have made a twenty to seven.

Speaker 5 (19:25):
No factor at all. Oh wait, actually, just kiddy, because
the game was definitely over when it was twenty to seven.
Stop it then Bing Bong h guy did it again.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Second game yesterday. Thank you, Jonathan Taylor. Your Christmas card
will be in the mail.

Speaker 13 (19:39):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
And it was really, really fantastic and it is so
fun to be a Bronco again.

Speaker 5 (19:44):
Ninety four percent chance to make the playoffs, all to win.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
Short week this week? Who do we play on Thursday?

Speaker 5 (19:51):
Larger? Okay, seventh seed.

Speaker 4 (19:53):
What time is our show over on Thursday? We don't
have a show Thursday at all?

Speaker 5 (19:57):
At noon? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (19:57):
Oh wow, Maybe I don't know that Broncos win one
more time, or you get a combination from a couple
of losses from.

Speaker 5 (20:05):
The Bengals or the Dolphins. The Dolphins.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
Do you see that hate yesterday? What happened to that guy?

Speaker 5 (20:12):
I think I saw that he had in ye I
think he has in his extremities.

Speaker 4 (20:15):
Okay, that was that was nasty.

Speaker 5 (20:17):
The Broncos are one win and they hold.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
Their destiny in their hands. It's not like you got
to you gotta hope all these other people lose. Yeah,
oh yeah, that was so great. That's been the case
for the last couple of games.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
They knew that they pretty much control this, but now
it's not even a matter of control, like you control it.
Plus if any crazy one thing happens, like they're in
the chargers of the team. Now we're on the bubble
more than us. If we beat them Thursday, they're in trouble.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
Let's do it. Let's go do it, Broncos, do it.
Wea about leave. We love this team. I love this
team so much. I love everything about this team, and
yesterday was just a perfect example of why we'll be
right back to talk about a great group of veterans
doing something for other veterans when we get back. Real
estate professional Jeff to work on with me today. He's

(21:02):
not just a real estate guy, he's also with the
Veterans Association of Real Estate Professionals, which not only helps
veterans navigate their way into housing, they also do all
kinds of cool stuff for the families of veterans. Jeff,
Welcome to the show.

Speaker 5 (21:15):
First of all, thanks Mannie, thanks for having us on.

Speaker 4 (21:20):
Tell me a little bit about what ver app is that,
how you pronounce it? Verap is that what you do there,
what you guys are all about.

Speaker 14 (21:28):
Sure VA REP is the Veterans Association of Real Estate Professionals.
We're a national five oh one c three. We're the
deadver chapter. There's thirty two chapters nationally.

Speaker 7 (21:41):
What we do is we try to.

Speaker 5 (21:43):
Educate our real.

Speaker 14 (21:44):
Estate professionals on the VA home loan. Defy some of
those myths that are out there. We have some pretty
interesting statistics about how veterans and active military.

Speaker 15 (21:54):
Are swayed away from their home loan.

Speaker 14 (21:58):
Locally, we get to pick our philanthropic aspect to what
we want to do to help our veteran community.

Speaker 15 (22:04):
A few years ago, we partnered with the VA's hud
Vash program.

Speaker 14 (22:09):
Hud Vash will identify veterans on the customer we're experiencing homelessness,
and they'll put them into housing or provide them vouchers
to offset their housing costs. But the veterans don't get
anything other than the home they live in. So we
kind of step in and we created a Sponsor a
Vet program where we provide those veterans with the household

(22:33):
goods that they need to increase their likelihood of finishing
throughout that program of needing help to sustainable living and independently.
A few years into that, what we realized was many
of these veterans have families. We're talking young kids, right,
So we started our Christmas for Kids program. We received

(22:54):
the Christmas wish lists of these veterans kids. We literally
go shopping, We wrap all the presents, and then we
have a party. We've gone over the last few years.
This will be our fourth year in a row, starting
out around forty kids, and we shopped this year for
one hundred and seven kids.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
That is a lot.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
I've had the opportunity in the past, Jeff to go
on one of those shopping trips, and what a fun
way to do community service because it is an absolute
blast to not only fulfill the Christmas list, but also
get to see the kids get the gifts and experience that.
So you guys are doing that tonight, right.

Speaker 14 (23:37):
We're doing that tonight the American Legion Post one off
of Yale Night twenty five. We've got Santa coming and
I'll tell you there's usually not a dry eye in
the house.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
Well, let me ask you a little bit about the
other programs that you guys are doing on a daily basis.
You mentioned the fact that veterans sometimes get dissuaded from
using their VA loan benefit, which I say all the time.
The VA loan benefit is one of the best long
term benefits that you get for serving in the military
because it allows you to get into a home with

(24:09):
no down payment. The program is absolutely phenomenal. Why wouldn't
people take advantage of that?

Speaker 12 (24:18):
You know, over the.

Speaker 14 (24:18):
Years, the VA has done a really good job of
changing some of the back end stuff, the red tape things. Right,
it is all myths are are founded in some form
of fact. Right, So, twenty years ago, twenty five years ago,
the VA home loan appraisal process was a pan of
button but the VAS identified that and they've changed that.

(24:39):
It is now a quicker turnaround time and less issues
than the conventional home loan. The most recent VA study
showed that one third of veterans didn't't even know about.

Speaker 15 (24:54):
Their VA home loan.

Speaker 4 (24:55):
Oh that's terrible, it's a terrible one for you.

Speaker 15 (25:00):
Trends stated that the VA home loan was too expensive.

Speaker 14 (25:04):
How's the veternal an active military going to know that
unless they're told that?

Speaker 5 (25:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (25:10):
Eighty one percent of all veterans surveyed stated that a
real estate professional, a realtor, or a lender told them
not to use the VA home loan but to rather
convert that to a convention on FHA so that they
would be more likely to have their offers received.

Speaker 4 (25:29):
I find that incredibly infuriating for multiple reasons, but nonetheless
that these are veterans, they have mostly volunteered at this
point to serve their country, and for us not to
make sure that they are not getting every single benefit
that they are offered. And the VA loan program is
outstanding kind of makes me very, very angry. I want
to ask you about the second part of this though,

(25:50):
the program that helps them maybe fill up that house.
When when you finally go from living maybe with housing insecurity,
maybe you're with other people, or even living on the streets,
you don't have tables and chairs and couches.

Speaker 5 (26:05):
And things like that.

Speaker 4 (26:06):
Are those new items or these things that people can
donate to Because I'm asking this because I guarantee you
that I'm going to get an email from a listener
that says, I have X Can they take the donation?
How does that work?

Speaker 14 (26:19):
So through our sponsor of VET program, through via rep,
we do everything for the veteran through Amazon. So they've
got a request list, we fulfill that list through Amazon
up to five hundred dollars and everything is then shipped
to the veteran brand new. Well, we have another partner
that's called Knock Knock Angels and they will actually do

(26:43):
a complete makeover of the veterans home with donated furniture items.
What is that organization again, Knock Knock Angels. They're a
local nonprofit as well. We've partnered with them to kind
of help provide volunteer work as well as household goods

(27:05):
for them as well.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
That's excellent. I really just wanted to give you an
opportunity to talk about your organization. Is it all veterans
in your organization helping veterans? Or can any real estate
professional join v a rep?

Speaker 14 (27:20):
Anybody real estate professional or not can join va REP.
You can be a supporter, you can be a patriot,
you know, like yourself, like your husband, a veteran. We
all anybody that can help or has a passion or
helping veterans with a benefit that they've earned.

Speaker 15 (27:38):
Let's let's not forget this is a This is a
benefit they've earned and have the right to.

Speaker 14 (27:43):
Yeah, anybody and everybody can participate, donate, volunteer. We also
help out with the Veterans Community Project up in long months,
the tiny home community. Yeah, so we we have dates
that va REP goes up and helps with that as well. So, Yeah,
anybody and everybody's welcome.

Speaker 4 (28:02):
I have a couple of questions for you, Jeff. One
of them is is the loan the VA loan one
and done or can you do it again? I've heard both?
So is this a benefit that you can use to
buy more than one home?

Speaker 15 (28:15):
You can use.

Speaker 14 (28:16):
The benefit can be re established after the sale of
your home or depend on your eligibiliy and how much
you've used you can continue.

Speaker 4 (28:23):
So how would they find out that information?

Speaker 15 (28:27):
Give us a call and we will. We are not
as VA rep We are not here to create this
as a lead generation for us.

Speaker 14 (28:36):
Right, we have sponsors, we have members, we have professionals
that we can get the veteran or active military to
the right people to get them help.

Speaker 4 (28:44):
Okay, And one more question. Can I use my VA
loan to refy I was told not to use it
when we bought our home, not to use it when
they were told not to use the VA loan? But
can they REFI into a VA loan.

Speaker 14 (29:04):
If they're eligible and our veteran, they would have the
availability shirt all right?

Speaker 4 (29:09):
And this texter said the VA loan funding fee can
make the VA loan more expensive. In my personal experience,
that has been the act the opposite. We have a
VA loan through my husband's service, and it has been
way cheaper than a second loan that we took out
for another property. I mean not even remotely closed. So
whoever's giving you that information unless you've seen it in

(29:30):
hard numbers. I don't know if I would believe it,
But is that the kind of stuff you're talking about, Jeff, that's.

Speaker 15 (29:36):
The kind of stuff we're talking about. That's the miss
you know.

Speaker 14 (29:39):
In Colorado, in twenty twenty two, Governor Polus signed into
law that the veteran is now a protected class regarding
housing issues in the state of Colorado.

Speaker 15 (29:49):
That's find the biggest thing that we find that we're
protect it.

Speaker 14 (29:53):
Right a veteran is now or an active duty military
using their housing benefits are now protected as as any
other minority in the state.

Speaker 15 (30:02):
We're really trying to get that out there to our
real estate.

Speaker 14 (30:04):
Community that it is up to us as real estate
professionals to ensure that our veterans and our military are
protected from these miss these myths of these missmillers.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
If you need more information, I put a link to
VA REP on the blog today. Jeff Zorb, thank you
so much, first of all for reaching out and second
of all for what you're doing for veterans.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
Thank you, Minyell.

Speaker 15 (30:26):
Anybody can go out and check us out.

Speaker 14 (30:28):
Our local chapters website is Varepdenver dot org.

Speaker 15 (30:32):
You'll see everything out there about what we're doing.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
All right, thanks so much, Jeff. All right, we will
be back right after this. A couple of things on
the blog at the very bottom and will near the bottom,
but not completely near the bottom. Interesting story about Airbnb
cracking down on people who are renting places simply to
have a rager. Now listen to this though a rob

(30:55):
this is there. They've now got high tech with this.
Used to be you'd have to wait till the Nameghbor's
called the cops before you knew that somebody was having
a ranger at your Airbnb. But now they have algorithms
that look for specific things when you're booking. Say you're
booking an Airbnb in your same town and oh, you
only want it for one night, Sorry about your luck.

(31:16):
Airbnb is not going to let you make that booking.
So they're doing these things because they have created a
big kerfuffle by not cracking down on this stuff in
the past. There are Airbnbs that you can specifically rent
for events, like they will say event friendly. But if
they don't say event friendly, most of the time they

(31:37):
say no parties, like the place we ran in Chicago.
That place was enormous, but it had a huge no events,
no parties.

Speaker 9 (31:46):
Really.

Speaker 4 (31:46):
Yeah, the on the booking huge and I could I
could see why because we could add a rager in
that thing. But the neighbor's not happy about it being
short term rental. That was the other thing. They're like,
don't go out and use the balcony because the neighbor's
still it. Well, then what's the point of having a balcony.
I'm just throwing that out there. But I find this
interesting that Airbnb is trying to be part of the

(32:08):
solution instead of just remaining part of the problem. As
much as I want to own a short term rental,
I don't want to live next to our short term rental,
not even a little bit, because people don't act right
when they are renting someone else's space.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
You know that.

Speaker 4 (32:25):
What's that service where you can rent out your car
to people?

Speaker 7 (32:28):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (32:29):
I awesome, guys, But would you put your car on that.
I wouldn't, not a snowballs chance in hell.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
No, probably not because the miles that are being put
on it doesn't upset you know, how you.

Speaker 4 (32:41):
Drive a rental car?

Speaker 5 (32:42):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 4 (32:44):
And that's the thing. Now, if I bought a if
I bought like a six year old car to just
put on Toro as a profit center, That'd be one thing.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
But if it was just my car, my way, and
imagine the pargans are much better than like Uber and Lyft,
for example, the miles are putting on an ober or a.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
Lift that I'm not going to drive it. What I'm
saying is if I bought a six year old car
and put it on Toro, could I pay for it?
You know, how many days a week or a month
do I have to rent it to pay to pay
for it? And then it becomes a profit center after that?
Probably quite a bit. You know, I don't know how
much you have to pay to rent a car on Toro.

Speaker 5 (33:17):
It's pretty cheap, actually, I.

Speaker 4 (33:18):
Mean like twenty bucks a day, fifty bucks.

Speaker 5 (33:20):
A day, one hundred bucks a day, Like the lower
end is like forty fifty sixty.

Speaker 4 (33:24):
Okay, So let's say you've got seventy five bucks a day.
That's ten days. You got a seven hundred and fifty
dollars car payment ten days. Everything after that is profit.
And that's with a seven hundred and fifty dollars car payment.
Do you buy a used car, you could squeeze it
in there for a lot less than that I'm going
to look into that now. I'm looking for income streams,
which is why I started a cameo just saying.

Speaker 5 (33:44):
Yeah, but the miles that are being put on it is.
What I'm saying is.

Speaker 4 (33:47):
You're not buying it to use it. You're just buying
then you'll sell it on its owner.

Speaker 5 (33:50):
Well that's what right there? Yeah, that last part. How
much miles being put on it?

Speaker 6 (33:54):
Is?

Speaker 2 (33:54):
It?

Speaker 5 (33:54):
Is it losing that much palace?

Speaker 4 (33:56):
You say, let's say you rented it for twenty days. Okay,
so and you're your car payment is five hundred bucks.
So now you rented it for ten days, you make
your car payment, you rent it for twenty days, you're
five hundred dollars profit on that car every month. Of
course you have to pay for insurance. But I mean,
now you re in it for thirty days, which is crazy.
Now you're in like real money.

Speaker 5 (34:15):
I wonder if you do have to pay for insurance.
I want if Turo offers some kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (34:19):
And also I believe do drivers have to have insurance
to cover themselves in the car and then maybe the
car as well.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
All right, this Texter said, my daughter, granddaughter's boyfriend has
a Toro business and he buys vehicles, rents and rents
them out via Toro, as does his father and his
father's friend and it's actually quite successful. There you go,
There you go. When we get back, we got another
guest coming out. What chip in my car on Turo? Seriously,

(34:46):
you may as well buy yourself a new car after that. Anyway,
what's the most efficient way to wait train? We're going
to find out after this.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock

Speaker 2 (34:57):

Speaker 4 (35:19):
The second hour of the show. And if you've listened
to the show for any length of time, you know
we talk a lot about fitness and how to get
fit or stay fit, and I'm a big believer in
strength training. And joining me now is Charlie Hale from
the Shred app. And if you're not familiar with the
Shred app, it's an app that I have actually recommended
to people who wanted to get started with weight training.

(35:40):
They have various levels that you can sign up for
and if you're a beginning weight trainer, they do a
really really good job explaining things and showing form and
all of that stuff. So if you're looking for a
way to start weight training, that would be something I
would recommend. And now I have one of the kind
folks from the Shred app Charlie Hale, is with me
right now, and Charlie I would know. First of all,

(36:01):
we're going to talk today about training to failure, but
I want to start at the beginning. Okay, so is
the why is strength training so important? Let's start with that.

Speaker 17 (36:12):
You know, it's a great question.

Speaker 18 (36:13):
Strength training is one of the most effective kinds of
training because it not only helps us build and maintain muscle,
which is really important especially as we age, but it
helps with joint support, posture boosting metabolism which can help
us with weight management. There's actually plenty of evidence to
show that it helps with cognitive decline too, So it's
one of the most effective training of modalities out there,

(36:37):
and so it's something that we hold is the most important,
and so that's what we try to push our users towards.

Speaker 4 (36:44):
So I want to ask you guys been talking lately
about training to failure why what is training to failure
and why is that different than just doing a bunch
of reps with lower weight? How does this all come together?

Speaker 18 (36:57):
You know, some people will look at a prescribed exercise
and order to say, do this for this many reps,
and that's good, But what really can happen is that
you're not actually exhausting your muscles or really pushing your
body to its limits. And so training to failure is
really just performing an exercise until you can't complete anymore.
And what that does is it tells it shows your
body what its limits can be, and it allows you

(37:19):
to get stronger, which is really the ultimate goal.

Speaker 4 (37:21):
Is there underlying anatomical reasons for training or training to failure?

Speaker 5 (37:27):
What does that?

Speaker 4 (37:28):
What is that actually doing for your muscles? That isn't
happening when you are just doing you know, three sets
of whatever.

Speaker 18 (37:36):
You know, training to failure can be something that for beginners,
for example, focusing on form is really important because you
don't want to train to failure until you have the
proper form. So I would say beginners should focus on
getting their form right. But then from there it's it
is it allows your muscles to do what you're trying
to do when you're doing strength training, which is allow

(37:56):
those muscle fibers to stretch, repair and begin that strengthening process.
And so I would say form first, then you know
training to failure, and that combination is what will provide
the individual with the results that they're typically looking for,
which is progress.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
What are the different ways that you use or recommend
to train to failure? And is this appropriate for every
sort of exercise?

Speaker 17 (38:19):
It's a great question, I would I'll answer the second
question first. It's not appropriate.

Speaker 18 (38:23):
It's not always right for every exercise, but I would
say there's the majority of exercises doing training to failure
can be excellent. Things like repetition to failure, so sort
of do the repetitions until you can't do any more.

Speaker 17 (38:37):
So that's one way to do it.

Speaker 18 (38:38):
You can do a set to failure, which is just
push yourself on that last set, keep going. So my
old wrestling coach used to say, how many reps did
you do? You should do as many as you can
and then do two more. And I think sometimes that
kind of approach can be useful.

Speaker 17 (38:53):
But again, doing too many sets 's.

Speaker 18 (38:56):
Excuse me, too many exercises on the wrong form is improper,
but if you've got the form down and you feel
like you want to push yourself, that is definitely a
way to do it. And then there's also assisted failure,
so having a spot are there to help you to
really make sure that you are pushing to that full fatigue.
And then lastly, a little bit more of a technical term,
but a drop set. And so a drop set allows

(39:16):
you to lower the weight as you're going down to progression.
So let's say I'm doing dumbbelt curls. For example, maybe
I pick up twenty pounds first, I do as many
as I can, I put him down. I grab fifteen.
I do as many as I can, I put them down,
I do ten. And so these are different dynamic ways
for us to really engage the body, leveraging failure as
a benefit, but also letting us all get stronger, which

(39:37):
is again that goal we're shooting for.

Speaker 4 (39:39):
Let me ask this question, because you know, women never
want to get bulky, right, although I think that's changing
and sort of there's a different view of what the
ideal female physique is for a lot of women. But still,
I don't know any woman that's like, I want to
get jacked, you know, so does this build bulk or
does it just build strengths? Because I love building strength.

(40:00):
I'm not looking to get any bigger than I am.

Speaker 7 (40:01):
Now.

Speaker 18 (40:04):
The great question, what I'll tell you is actually women
are going three times the rate men on our platform.
So even though we've we've you know, strength training is
booming for women, so it's a very popular area. You
don't automatically bulk up. It really depends on how you're training.

Speaker 5 (40:18):
So if you're.

Speaker 18 (40:18):
Training with a shorter number of reps and a higher weight,
you are going to get a bulkier approach because what
it's actually doing is it's actually stretching those muscle fibers
even more and allowing them to contract differently. And so
in this case, we have different training styles like LINEX
tone and what they're doing is focusing on lengthening, strengthening,

(40:40):
higher rep counts, moving to fatigue. As you're asking, these
are essential for everybody, but particularly for women. If you're
looking to get stronger, leaner, meaner, and feel really great,
you do not need to bulk up, and strength training
can be an excellent solution for you.

Speaker 4 (40:56):
I will tell you this, I would rather feel strong
than be That's something that twenty year old me would
have never said, but I am really strong now and
I like weight training because I feel like that, you know,
I'm gonna be able to get off the floor when
I'm old, you know, the These are the goals that
I have for myself, Charlie, Can I get off the
floor when I'm seventy five? That's really what I'm shooting

(41:17):
for with this. But for somebody who's never picked up
a weight in their life, either male or female, how
do you recommend that people get started?

Speaker 17 (41:28):
You gotta start with the basics. I think some people try.

Speaker 18 (41:30):
They'll see something online, They'll see an Instagram reel or
a TikTok and they instantly think they need to go
run and do that or be that.

Speaker 17 (41:36):
And I think the reality is is you want to
start with the basics.

Speaker 18 (41:39):
Things like squats, pushups, rows, these exercises that are just
tried and true. They can be weight guided, but there's
also lots of information around how to do them right.

Speaker 17 (41:49):
Our app conveniently can support that.

Speaker 18 (41:51):
But these are also this is a great way to begin,
you know, body weight first, get those muscles, get those joints,
get your body moving, and we often say focus on
the habit, not the outcome necessarily, So get those days set,
get that time moving, do what you need to do
during that time. Start with basics, start with body weight,

(42:12):
and then progress progress gradually. You know, anytime, just like anything,
when you go too far, you're gonna hurt yourself, You're
going to regress. So being really thoughtful on that way
in is super important.

Speaker 4 (42:22):
Do you guys have calisthenics exercises just full on body weight,
no weights at all on the shred app?

Speaker 18 (42:29):
Absolutely, And this is something I just had a baby,
So I'm at home with just a set of dumbbells
right now and a whole lot less options that I
typically have, and I've been able to really enjoy the
workout experience.

Speaker 17 (42:40):
And so whether that's plain on body weight, we've got you.

Speaker 18 (42:43):
If you've have just a few pieces of equipment, we
can absolutely put together something personalized for you and your goals.

Speaker 4 (42:49):
Charlie, you look great for having just had a baby.
By the way, I'm just kidding. I figured you didn't
actually have the baby. But the shred app is very
good if you really want a place to start, but
you don't necessarily want to go join a gym. A
lot of people are not comfortable in the gym. This
would be a great way to just start some simple
things at home. And Charlie, thank you so much for

(43:09):
the information today. Today I had one of those workouts
where I thought this is a trained failure because I
fell on the floor at the end of it. I
figured that's as failure as you can get. So it's
something I'm going to try and adopt more of in
my workouts as well.

Speaker 17 (43:23):
I love that, Mandy. I remember right when you're done,
two more?

Speaker 4 (43:26):
Yeah, yeah, that wasn't happening today. Fall on the floor
is how that ended today. Charlie failed from the shred APP.
I appreciate your time today.

Speaker 17 (43:35):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 5 (43:36):
Soon, thank you.

Speaker 7 (43:37):
That is Charlie Hale with.

Speaker 4 (43:39):
The shred app. Fascinating. I love Louny. Here's the thing nutrition,
weight training, that kind of stuff. This text, Mandy, can
you ask if you have to increase your protein intake,
what's the best way to do that? If you were
looking to build muscle mass, you absolutely have to increase
your protein intake hundred percent. As far as what that

(44:02):
looks like for you, there's a whole bunch of questions
that have to be answered by you to find out
what your protein intake should be. But there's a lot
of information on the internet. Just make sure that you're
getting it from people who are licensed physiologists, licensed nutritionist, license,
things of that nature. There's a lot of garbage on
the internet as well. Adding creatine and protein has made

(44:24):
an amazing difference for me. Protein is the secret sauce
of everything. You guys, it really is. You can live
your entire life and never eat another carbohydrate and be
perfectly fine. And I'm not even just saying like I'm
saying your body can create its own carbohydrate stores from
your fat stores, but you have to eat fat and

(44:46):
you have to eat protein. Those two things your body
cannot live without. So whenever you're trying to, you know,
do better in your diet, up your protein. Focus on
the protein first. And then Mandy is the app called
shred Jim and hell, I don't know if it's it's
called shred. I put a link to their website. If
you want to go to the blog today at mandy'sblog

(45:06):
dot com. You can just go it's shred dot app
is their online presence and you can go to your
app store and find it there. It's very very good.
I dipped into it for a friend of mine who said,
is this any good? Just tell me what you think.
She was trying to start weight training after she had
a baby, and it's very good. So if you're looking

(45:27):
for a way to start, go ahead and do that.
I also found another guy keep forgetting to share his content.
There's another guy and I will I cannot remember his
name right now, but he specifically does workouts for seniors,
and I mean older people that have never exercised in
your life. And this guy is great because I know

(45:49):
a lot of older people are realizing that they've lost
the ability to do basic things like put the cans
away in the cabinet, stand up out of a chair unassisted,
all of the things. You can regain enough muscle to
be able to do those things again. And I don't
care if you're seventy or eighty. You're not gonna get
you know, you're not gonna all of a sudden be

(46:10):
Arnold Schwarzenegger. If you're seventy years old and you start
weight training. But we start losing significant muscle mass starting
at fifty years old. It is a dramatic decline in
our muscle mass and you won't be able to get
you know, swol, as they used to say when I
was in high school, I'm getting swool, but you will

(46:30):
be able to do those things in your daily life
that you want to do. My friend Hazel, who's on
the show, is a perfect example of that. Hazel didn't
start exercising until she was in her fifties, and I
think she still does fifty push ups a day. I
hate pushups. I mean I could do fifty push ups,
but I hate them. So I'm just the reason we

(46:52):
have these people on is because I'm encouraging you, my
dear dear listeners. And I mean this as they dear listeners.
I want everyone to live as happy and healthy as
they can until they can't. And I looked for this
chart years ago. I don't know if I saw it
in a Ted talk or where I saw it. I
saw someone giving a presentation and they talked about in Asia,

(47:17):
in the Asian countries where they have very long longevity.
They don't just have long longevity, they also have long
health span, meaning that they are very very healthy. And
he used this chart that showed starting at birth, and
imagine if you will starting at birth, you start on zero,
and he said, your healthiness shoots up between the ages

(47:37):
of zero and eighteen years old, then it plateaus over
And in American culture, where we have the Western diet
and we don't exercise the way we should, at about
fifty it starts to decline at about a thirty degree pitch,
and by the time you're seventy or eighty, you are
already into the Wow, things are really going wrong and
you're living an unhealthy life and being miserable. In Eastern medicine,

(48:02):
they try to get that line straight across until right
before you die, it just falls off a cliff. And
that is how I want to go. I don't want
to have a million different medications. I don't want to
have a million different ailments. I don't want to have
a million things wrong with me and then live the
last ten years of my life in misery. I don't
want to do that, So I'm fighting it now. You know,

(48:25):
I'm not so egotistical as to believe that I can
do everything right and still not have anything bad happen
to me. Come on, Mandy Fancy Whine, International travel, philanthropy,
and now fitness and Nutrition. I think the show is
getting too hybrid out for me, just trying to help
you read or leave your daily best life. That's all man.

(48:51):
Men should avoid protein that comes from soy. I think
most people should avoid protein that comes from soy. Soy
is not my friend. Woof Man does that upset my
tummy very much. So It's never too late to get started.
That's the whole point of that interview. Never too late
to get started. Now, I want to talk for a
second tonight at the Denver City Council. They're about to

(49:13):
make another stupid mistake. But I mean, what do you
expect from the rat House? That city hall, by the
way in Germany rat house, I'm calling it that from
now on the Denver rat House. Tonight they are going
to be voting on a flavored tobacco band. And I
have to share with you a little bit of the
column written by my snarky spirit brother, John Caldera, and

(49:36):
John just says this, I get tired of all the
double standards. When the little mermaid swims around half naked,
swinging to her underwater friends, she's sweet and beautiful. But
when I do it, people say I'm drunk and no
longer welcome at the aquarium. Modern society often makes knowing
when you're acting hypocritically difficult. I mean, burn a body

(49:57):
in a crematorium, you're doing a good job at home,
you're destroying evidence. It's just hard to know when people
are gonna get upset and throw the double standard flag
at you. So, of course I've got a great deal
of sympathy for the Denver City Council, and it's bizarre,
inconsistent hypocrisy between cannabis and tobacco. Denver has more marijuana

(50:17):
dispensaries than Starbucks locations. The amount of money they make
off cannabis is greater than substantial, and these cannabis products
are flavored in the form of gummies, candies, and cookies.
These products are proudly pedaled in their town. But like
mandating motorcycle riders wear helmets while outlying seat belts, the

(50:38):
very same council is embarrassed by tobacco products like flavored
nicotine products are legally sold in their fentonyl fuels, psychedelic
mushroom haze, chiech and Shong theme city. So it's only
logical they're banning flavored smokeless tobacco products but not flavored
cannabis products. Duh, it just makes sense. Flavored nicotine products

(50:58):
are far less harmful than smoking and deliver the nicotine
smokers want without the damaging carcinogens of setting stuff on
fire and inhaling the smoke. Thus, these products are crucial
for folks trying to stop smoking. And by the way,
he's not just engaging in hyperbole. There there are studies
that have shown that smokeless tobacco products not like snuff

(51:20):
or chewing tobacco. I'm talking about then the little tobacco pouches.
They have been shown as a great stepping stone for
people trying to quit smoking actual cigarettes. They stop smoking cigarettes,
then they stop using the flavored you know, smokeless tobacco,
and they are off to the races. As a non smoker,

(51:41):
John continues, the best way to keep people smoking is
to ban these products, which is what Denver is going
to do. They're reasoning flavored smokeless nicotine will become children's
gateway to smoking tobacco. But somehow flavored cannabis products like
gummies isn't a gateway to smoking marijuana. If you don't
understand that simple, flawless law, then you're obviously not smart

(52:01):
enough to be a policymaker for an entire city. And
then he goes on from there. But he's absolutely right,
and the Denver City Council, in their zeal to prove
I don't know what I really don't you guys, I
have to say, being in Europe made me actually appreciate
the nanny stadism of going after cigarette smokers for all

(52:24):
these years, because people smoke everywhere in Europe, and you
forget how gross it is. It's just gross. You walk
through a cloud of smoke, you're like, oh God, and
then it's in your nostrils for the foreseeable future. Terrible.
So you know, that made me appreciate the fact that
we basically like shamed everyone into not smoking, and if

(52:46):
they do smoke, we make them stand five hundred yards away,
you know, downwind. And most smokers that I know, and
I do know some people who still smoke cigarettes are
the most considerate smokers on the planet. Don't want to
bother anyone. Not in Europe. Hey, we're in the middle
of a crowd. Let's light up. No one cares, No
one cares. But this one makes no sense for all

(53:11):
the reasons that John Caldera just laid out in that column.
We have cannabis products that smell like banana, or we
have gummy bears that are that are flavored like tropical
fruit with cannabis in it. But now we're gonna go
after fla like this just is dumb, and it's just
virtue signaling that will have the exact opposite effect of

(53:32):
what we need to do, which is encourage more people
to use whatever means necessary to stop smoking. I still
can't get over the fact that cigarettes are nine dollars
nine fifty a pack. Like that just blows my mind.
But yet you intrepid souls out there are still lighting up.
You're just not gonna be told what to do.

Speaker 3 (53:53):
I hear you.

Speaker 4 (53:54):
I hear you, and so does John Caldera. We'll be

For the person who texted Mandy, I don't think you
can get a pack of cigarettes for nine anything. I
think you're closer to twelve. Ah ah, how is that
even possible? And it's overwhelmingly poor people who still smoke.
Not all, but yeah, when you look statistically who is
still smoking, it is poor people and that is partially
why they're poor. Still, I'm guessing if they're paying that

(01:02:38):
kind of money. Okay, can we talk about drones for
a minute. This drone story out of New Jersey, it's
been going on for like a week now, and my
first thought was this, and I looked it up today
and I'm absolutely right. Does anybody else think it's weird
that the drones are only flying over New Jersey, which
has the lowest percentage of gun ownership in the entire

(01:02:59):
United States of America only eight percent of New Jersey
it's own guns. Now, I was gonna make a mob
joke right then, but I decided not to. It was
too easy. But I love the Sopranos, what can I say?
So everybody's been like, what's going on? And the government
has been like, we don't know, we have no idea
it's happening, and we just have no idea what is

(01:03:22):
going on? And this is obviously a lie, a complete
and total lie. Hey, Rod, do me a favor. Go
to the blog, grab the video of the lady talking
about the drones. You sent it to me. Just make
sure there's no potty language in there. And I want
to play it in just a second. So I meant
to do this earlier and completely forgot. Not having a

(01:03:43):
computer at my house is really thrown my show prep
for a loop, not that it was all that great
in the first place, but in New Jersey, like all
of these drone sidings are happening, some of them are
massive drones, and now everybody's speculating what exactly the drones
are doing over New Jersey, and lots of people have
now come out And I don't know where this came from.

(01:04:04):
It seems to me this might be one of those
things where someone said it and then everybody else was like, ooh,
that sounds good. I'm gonna go ahead and go with that.
But the biggest rumor or speculation that I that I
see kind of across the interwebs is that these drones
are actually looking for something. And I don't mean like
somebody like in that Will Smith movie where he was

(01:04:27):
being chased by all the drones I'm talking about. They
think that they might be looking for either a dirty
bomb or some kind of nuclear material, Like they're flying
around with those little you know, those those little things
that detect such things. And their speculation that somehow a
dirty bomb has been smuggled into New Jersey and that

(01:04:50):
these drones are looking for a dirty bomb. Now, to me,
it's fairly obvious that the government absolutely knows what is
going on with these drones one hundred percent. And in
just a minute, when a Rod screens this video, we
will I'll let you listen to it. This woman is
former military, she used to work in those guys. You

(01:05:12):
know what, a Rod, we should ask your dad about this.
I bet your dad knows. Nothing goes into the air
without somebody knowing where it is, where it's going, or
where it's supposed to go.

Speaker 5 (01:05:24):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:05:24):
To think that that you have refrigerator sized drones flying
over New Jersey and you don't know what they are
is insane. Play this audio from this this woman real quick,
A rod like.

Speaker 23 (01:05:34):
This is not the hell I want to die. And
it's not even set of TikTok that I want to
be on. But I was in the Air Force for
a substantial amount of time and materially you want and
a TSCI Current Society clearsion get I was an aircraft
space and airspace control and I can promise you one thing.
Nothing goes into our airspace without our permission.

Speaker 4 (01:05:55):
Nothing.

Speaker 23 (01:05:57):
There is not a single thing that goes into the
airspace over our coy.

Speaker 4 (01:06:00):
That we do not know about.

Speaker 23 (01:06:01):
And good permission too, and if it does not have
our permission, we absolutely will shoot it down.

Speaker 4 (01:06:05):
Now whether you hear about that or not is irrelevant.

Speaker 23 (01:06:08):
We will shoot it down. And that goes for every
base we have across the world. So the government absolutely
knows what these things are. And they either are putting
it there and they don't want a Stepanic, or they
didn't put it there and they don't want a Stepanic.

Speaker 4 (01:06:27):
But one percent they know what it is. So that
makes a lot of sense to me. But we could
ask your dad the same question a Roddy. He was
an air traffic control for forever. I mean, nothing goes
up without somebody knowing what it is. And if you've
got all these drones over New Jersey, absolutely the government
knows what they are.

Speaker 3 (01:06:45):
I know, you think they would quickly want to if
they found out it's something that they wouldn't mind the
public knowing about, they would immediately say, oh, it's this,
It's all good.

Speaker 4 (01:06:52):
And I think the government is doing it. I think
these are government drones. I think we know exactly what's
up there in terms of the government knowing what's up there.
If we didn't, something would have already been done. You've
got drones flying over in New Jersey, right across the
river from New York. Something would have been done if
they were suspect. Now we also have an administration that

(01:07:14):
let a Chinese balloon fly across the United States of
America and not shoot it down. So, I mean their
competence in this matter is under question.

Speaker 3 (01:07:23):
Because I think didn't they say it's not military. They
didn't say it's not government, they said it's not military.

Speaker 4 (01:07:29):
Yeah, somebody said, would you get on a plane and
fly with these drains up, drones up and about? I
just did flew back and a rod's while you're flying
into the other directions. Isn't it interesting though, that they're
not flying like they flew these over my hometown. They
would have been shot down a long time ago. You'd
have a bunch of rednecks up there. They'd be shooting

(01:07:49):
these things out of the sky. They would all have
their ars up there and they would just be blasting
away until they fell down.

Speaker 5 (01:07:54):
But there's a lot of them, I know, So even
if there are coming down.

Speaker 4 (01:07:57):
Like, you only need to get one to figure out
what's going on, don't you. I mean, you just need
to get one on the ground before you can figure
out what's happening. I'd love to know from you guys,
what you think is happening here, Mandy, I heard the
drones are looking for the New Jersey Devil.

Speaker 5 (01:08:14):
Don't know about it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:15):
It's not Tony Stark Texter. No, he's not a real person.

Speaker 13 (01:08:23):
Or is he?

Speaker 4 (01:08:24):
Stop it?

Speaker 5 (01:08:25):
The multi versus vast.

Speaker 4 (01:08:27):
Ralph says detecting a dirty bomb would use an airborne
scintillation counter for detection. Either that or the drones are
Chinese and gee Biden and men can't see them for
some reason, just like the balloon's excellent point. Excellent point.
The government didn't shoot down the air balloon from China
until it got all the way across the country over

(01:08:48):
the ocean, and then they shot it down, and they
were like, but they didn't get anything that whole time.
Here's here's the problem. Do you Does anybody believe them?
Because this administration, more than most, I feel like, has
been lying to us, to our faces, blatantly and traumatically
pretty much since Biden got into office. Starting with Biden

(01:09:10):
is perfectly fine. Nothing to see here, There's no mental decline,
no way. He is awesome, wasn't it morning, Joe said,
Joe Biden is the best he's ever been, right before
he cratered in a debate that kicked him out of
the campaign. It's just so nuts, this Texter. By the way,

(01:09:31):
you can text your answer to five sixty six nine zero.
The military has way more advanced detecting aircraft than these drones.

Speaker 3 (01:09:38):
I don't know, if you want to go down a
crazy rabbit hole, google or look up on the videos
on TikTok talking about the theory that the drones are
up there studying plasmoids.

Speaker 4 (01:09:49):
What are plasmoids.

Speaker 3 (01:09:51):
Basically little, it's a The plasma is the fourth that
you have solids, liquids, gases, The fourth is plasma, and
that the potential that the the deterioration of the magnetic
field around the unite, around the world is deteriorating, that

(01:10:14):
there's potential that these plasmoids plasma is like coming down
into the atmosphere. And they're setting drones up to study
these things because they look they look insane.

Speaker 4 (01:10:25):
When you just say we're doing scientific experiments, you don't
have to like get get into detail.

Speaker 3 (01:10:30):
Because plasmoids are so unpredictable. No one really understands enough
about them. I don't think are they real or is
this just that people talk about plasma. Plasma is real
and these these plasma's reel. So the potential of these
are plasmoids that have previously been able unable to breach
our atmosphere now could potentially be breaching the atmosphere and

(01:10:51):
these drones are up there to study them, and the
potential that these plasmoids are sentient.

Speaker 5 (01:11:00):
There's a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:11:00):
It's crazy, it's it's X files, it's crazy, it's nuts.
But that's what these little things look like.

Speaker 19 (01:11:05):
M h.

Speaker 3 (01:11:06):
These little things that because not the drones, because there's
video what looks like to be drones. It looks like
these little orebs that people are getting video of look
to be what people are scientifically saying those look like
plasmoids that these drones are up and studying.

Speaker 5 (01:11:21):
It's insane. Who knows for sure, but that's kind of scary.

Speaker 4 (01:11:24):
We have a lot of great answers on the blog
right now, excuse me, on the text line right now
at five six six, And I know, Mandy, it is
the government military sniffing out the next major terrorist attack
on the US. From your lips to God's ears, I
hope that's it. Santa Claus says this Texters upgraded to
drone technology, and there's so many over New Jersey because
there's so many on the naughty list there, that is

(01:11:44):
altogether possible. Drones are flown by the same guys you did.
The crop Circle says this texture again also plausible. Mandy,
you want to solve the great drone mystery, Shoot one
down and see who comes looking for it? Amen to that.
I mean, I think it's guys with dark sunglasses and
men in black suits. Who shows up after you shoot
one of these.

Speaker 3 (01:12:05):
Dress Why we don't have answers yet because they're blasting
people with the memory machine the second it falls to
the ground.

Speaker 4 (01:12:11):
Oh yeah, you saw nothing.

Speaker 5 (01:12:12):
It was nothing.

Speaker 3 (01:12:13):
It's fine, don't worry about it. Go about your day.
We're going to take that from you. And where's Will Smith?
We need eyes on Will Smith right now.

Speaker 4 (01:12:24):
Well, well, maybe maybe his wife will let him come
out and play. We'll see. I had forgotten about the
drone situation over Willed County not too long ago, when
a lot of people spotted mysterious drones. Someone wrote me
a lengthy text message that said, hey, let me see
if I can find it. Or no, it's already gone.

(01:12:44):
Basically said hey, we had big meetings with the Air
Force and no one talked about it, and then it
was just like, oh, sorry, it was just doing weather research. No,
we think you're lying. I would much rather the military
just came out and said, yeah, we got some super
spook stuff that we're working on and we're not going
to tell you about it. Wouldn't that be cool? Wouldn't
that be the coolest thing ever? If the Air Force
was like, yeah, it's us nin or nin or we're

(01:13:05):
in we're not gonna let you see what we've got.
We're not We're not gonna tell you anything. That would
be the fine, fine, fine explanation for this whole thing. Mandy.
Maybe they're similar to the drones that were flying around
in Northeast Colorado studying the grid system for the idea
of delivering things by drones. You know the thing about that,

(01:13:29):
if you were going to study a grid system to
use drone delivery, which of course would need to happen
if you were going to do such thing, wouldn't you
do it over a city where you would be far
more likely to use drone delivery on a regular basis.
Some of these things. Some of these things are not

(01:13:50):
so a rod? Why and how is our magnetic field failing?
He just watched a little bit of a video.

Speaker 5 (01:13:55):
It's just a teary I don't know why just it is.

Speaker 2 (01:13:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:13:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:13:59):
But plasmoid plash plasmoids yep, dangerous and scary yep.

Speaker 4 (01:14:06):
Yep. Whynogi says if they're snooping for a dirty bomb,
given that we have New Year's Eve coming up in
Times Square, I hope they are successful. Could also be China,
once again trying to assess our response, which has been
typical thus far meaning nothing, have no fear. Chris Christie
is here, will get to the bottom of it. New
Jersey is his backyard. I don't know if I want

(01:14:29):
Chris Christy in charge of this. I mean no offense
to Chris Christy. I'm not a fan of his. I'm
just he's just file him in that group of politicians
that I'm like, Eh, you know, I don't love, do
not love. For those of you who are texting me
asking about getting the John Caldera column I shared part
of earlier not behind a paywall on Wednesday, you will

(01:14:53):
be able to find it at complete Colorados dot COM's
page two, so they publish in the gazette first, and
then two days later it comes out on page two.
So I will reshare it again on Wednesday, so you
can then share it with other people. But by then
the Denver City Council will have inevitably made the dumb
ass decision to ban flavor tobacco products, even in the
face of all the research and science that says it

(01:15:15):
is a dumb thing to do. Mandy Postal Service already
conquered the grid system. Yeah, we're gonna uh. I saw
something on nextdoor. Are you on nextoor for your neighborhood?

Speaker 9 (01:15:26):
I am.

Speaker 4 (01:15:27):
I actually like nextdoor in my neighborhood because we talk
a lot. If there's like a bear sighting, then that
makes you know we have a bear, and everybody lets
you know. And it's very little, just generalized bitching, right,
which most next door is just generalize bitching. But the
there was some generalized bitching on my next door about
the US Postal Service in our area. The only upside

(01:15:51):
that I have to say about the USPS in my
neighborhood is that I've now met so many of my
neighbors delivering their meal to them. They came to my
mailbox game. But I try to look at it as
a positive, like, oh, I haven't been down this road
that isn't even remotely the same as my road, but
in my general vicinity. So I spent a lot of
time delivered. I don't know. I know people who work
for the US Postal Service, and I know that it's

(01:16:14):
not the easiest job in the world. But has anything
changed has delivering the mail? I would think that delivering
the mail has actually gotten easier because there's less of it.
When I was a kid, getting the mail was like
a big deal, right, you got this big wad of
letters and nonsense. And of course when I was a kid,
it seemed exciting, but it was all bills probably, But

(01:16:34):
now we don't even get any bills in the mail.
It's all online. So I don't know what's happening that
it seems to be getting harder to just get the
right mail to the right people. So as far as
the USPS doing the grid system, I'm like, you know, Mandy,
are plasmoids the same as graboids.

Speaker 24 (01:16:54):
I don't know what graboids, but is that we don't
know unless graboids are also a distinct, self contained structure
within a plasma, characterized by a specific shape and held
together by magnetic fields.

Speaker 5 (01:17:06):
Then no, look at you. That's a plasmoid.

Speaker 4 (01:17:09):
Look at you, mister wizard over there.

Speaker 3 (01:17:13):
Formed in nature at much larger astrophysical scales, in the
Sun's atmosphere, in the formation of the stars, all the
way up to giant quasars plas.

Speaker 5 (01:17:21):
Okay, yeah, I've been down the plasmoid rabbit hole a
little bit.

Speaker 4 (01:17:24):
Well you can you can handle that. You can be
the plasmoid expert for the show, because I have no
interest in learning about any of that.

Speaker 5 (01:17:30):
Yeah, I will be the Anthony Fauci of time.

Speaker 4 (01:17:33):
Oh god, don't, don't. Don't show yourself short like that.
Stop it, stop it right now. Stop it. When we
get back, I have so much stuff on the blog today,
I'm gonna try and get it all. When we get back.
I'm going to share with you a video by our
governor running for president that made me viscerally angry today.

(01:17:55):
Like I'm not gonna say it, it enraged me, but
I was on my to enraged. I'll share that next.

Speaker 1 (01:18:02):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
accident and injury lawyers.

Speaker 2 (01:18:07):
No, it's Mandy Connell andy Ton.

Speaker 16 (01:18:12):
On KOAM, got way to say the nicety three Bendy
Connell keeping no sad Babe.

Speaker 4 (01:18:28):
Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the second hour of the show.
This show has gone fast today, I mean really fast.
And today at two thirty, we have another episode of
the Colorado GOP as the World turns because more drama,
unnecessary drama because the leadership sucks so bad at focusing
on what's important. They're now spending their days attacking other Republicans.

(01:18:50):
Yay go team idiots. Anyway, a lot of you still
have great ideas about the the the drone situation. Scariest
one is this, and I'm going to leave it on
this Mandy. They're practicing their coordination to pop off an
EMP over the Northeast that is terrifying. Hundreds of thousands

(01:19:12):
of people would die. There's no doubt in my mind
it would be an unmitigated, just humanitarian crisis that certainly
the United States, maybe the world has never seen if
you popped off an EMP over the northeastern part of
the United States that is so highly populated. Okay, moving
on to something that I almost didn't put this on
the blog today because I found myself becoming so viscerally

(01:19:34):
angry about it. But if I'm going to be angry,
you are going to be angry too.

Speaker 19 (01:19:40):
What is it?

Speaker 4 (01:19:41):
Well, let me lay the scene for you out here.
It is our governor, Governor Jared Poulish, Hey, Rod, can
I have my audio?

Speaker 13 (01:19:47):
Please?

Speaker 4 (01:19:51):
Yeah, give me my computer because I want to play this.
This was on his Twitter feed. He is sitting at
a desk with a box of crumble cookies. Okay, a
friend of mine just told me that crumble cookies are
called Mormon crack and that cracked me up really hard.
Because Mormons don't drink caffeine. They have very few bad habits,
and crumble cookie seems to be one of them. That

(01:20:12):
just made me laugh. But nonetheless, this is Jared Poulis.
Now in each of these little sections, he's taking a
bite of the crumble cookie like he's sampling it and
then giving you a review. It's the most contrived, irritated Okay,
I'm just gonna play it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:29):
Hey, Colorado, try this week's crumble cookies with me.

Speaker 14 (01:20:32):
First, we have breaking down barriers to housing people can
afford near transit.

Speaker 2 (01:20:38):
That's a ten out of ten.

Speaker 4 (01:20:39):
Now, what that means is is that the state of
Colorado has decided to supersede local control. So you in
your neighborhood no longer have as much power to block
something from coming to your neighborhood that you want. So
I would say this is good, unless, of course, you
live in that neighborhood. He gives it a ten out
of ten. What a libertarian. God, he's so libertarian. I

(01:21:00):
can't stand it. What was taking away local control?

Speaker 7 (01:21:04):
God?

Speaker 4 (01:21:04):
And so anyway, he continues, thanks.

Speaker 2 (01:21:07):
We have cutting people's property taxes and income taxes.

Speaker 4 (01:21:10):
Now let's just stop right there. Hey, Ron, did your
property taxes go down?

Speaker 5 (01:21:17):
He went up?

Speaker 4 (01:21:19):
No, that's impossible. The governor just said they cut property taxes.

Speaker 5 (01:21:22):
Oh, he can pay a difference. Then, so mine?

Speaker 4 (01:21:25):
Mine went up forty percent. So I'm not sure where
I'm getting that cut from. And then if he takes
credit for the income tax cuts one more time, I'm
gonna lose my mind. The Independence Institute is the reason
that we have two, not one, but two income taxes.
Do you know what the governor did to lead on
that issue? Absolutely nothing, But I'll let him give it

(01:21:48):
a grade really good.

Speaker 5 (01:21:50):
That's a fifty out of tax, fifty out of actually
a free pret.

Speaker 4 (01:21:52):
Blew in kindergarten for every Colorado. The weird part is
he's doing that like a flex, but ultimately most states
already have it, so when he runs for president, that's
not going to be that big a deal, really.

Speaker 2 (01:22:05):
Isn't That's the best so far, the best so far yet.
Politicians in charge of women's bodies. You know what, that's
zero out of ten.

Speaker 4 (01:22:14):
We're not even and then he throws the cookie away.
Let me just play that back for you so you
get to hear it all the way. You know what,
that's zerout of Oh wait, heah, and I didn't go
back far enough. Let's see here next week.

Speaker 2 (01:22:25):
Putting politicians in charge of women's bodies. You know what,
that's zero out of ten.

Speaker 5 (01:22:29):
We're not even gonna try that one.

Speaker 4 (01:22:32):
But did he really? Because now taxpayers are going to
be paying for abortions. And by the way, this is
the guy who supported firing people who didn't want to
get the COVID vaccine, So for him will be like, oh,
I'm a libertarian, O your body, your choice. This is
absolute crap, and what infuriates me is. He doesn't give

(01:22:53):
a rats ask what happens in Colorado. He's already he's
got us in his rear view mirror. He is so
moved on to running for president all of these videos.
What is this video for? If not a run for president?
At least you should be honest about it. He's still lying.
Ross is still under the impression that he's not running
for president. I keep telling Ross, huh, you haven't been
lied to it by enough politicians I have. Politicians and

(01:23:19):
head coaches are in the same category. When head coach
says I am so happy where I am and I'm
not going anywhere, chances are they're lying through their teeth.
Good chance. Politician says, oh, I'm not running for the
next office. I'm so happy doing what I'm doing. They
are lying, and Jared Polis is lying.

Speaker 5 (01:23:42):
Eugh.

Speaker 4 (01:23:43):
This person correctly points out Polis raising taxes forty percent
and giving a break of two percent to him as
cutting taxes while allowing that forty percent increase to go
into effect when you had two years to fix it,
two years and you didn't. He ours didn't go down,
but they didn't go up. But our condo is undervalued.

(01:24:06):
You lucky Texter are just that lucky Texter. Oh, now,
this isn't nice. Governor Pudge. The last thing he needs
to sample as a cookie. He's not a I mean
he's not you know, he's not super fit. But I'm
not gonna make fat jokes about Governor Jared Polis. That's
not nice. Chris Chrissy, yes, but not not Jared Polis. Mandy,

(01:24:27):
I'm pretty sure that free all day kindergarten program is
deep in the red. It is it is, but hey,
you know what, we're just gonna raise taxes because here's
what's gonna happen. They're gonna come to us and say,
you know what, we don't have enough money to fund
all day care, part day kindergarten, and free preschool, and
that means we have to raise taxes. Our little children
are gonna have to go back to their parents. Oh God,

(01:24:50):
not their parents. The thing about the free preschool thing
that really gets me is that the federal government's own
study of the head Start program, which is supposed to
provide quality preschool opportunities for children who normally wouldn't have
options when it comes to preschool, so they in theory

(01:25:10):
they start kindergarten equal with their peers, and then that's
supposed to somehow give them a foundation going into school.
But the federal government's own study on head Start showed
any gains created by it. The head Start program are
over and done and completely gone by second grade. Second grade. Now,

(01:25:33):
think about what if we took the money that we're
currently squandering on preschool and we reinvested it into making
sure children could read successfully in elementary school. Let's do
that instead. But no, no, they want to ignore the
federal government's own evidence. You know, that's one of my
favorite stories. So just so you know, the federal government did.

(01:25:55):
I think it's a longitudinal study of like eight years.
They study the and it was supposed to come out
in like two thousand and nine ish twenty ten the results.
So I'm waiting. I'm waiting. I knew the study was
going on. I had a show in Florida. I'm waiting.
Do you know when the results of that study finally
came out? They came out the Friday before Christmas in

(01:26:18):
twenty twelve. Because they weren't that bad. They showed that
the entire head Start program is an absolute waste of money,
except for the teachers' unions. They were the only ones
who benefited, and they just buried it, just buried it.
Somebody said, Mandy, why are you so obsessed or whether

(01:26:39):
or not he runs for president? Oh no, no, no, no,
you seem to think I am questioning. I am so
certain that he is running for president that I'm going
to keep saying it until he is forced to admit
that he's running for president, because right now he's lying
about it. He's a giant lying liar who lies about
whether or not he's running for president, and I'm I'm

(01:27:00):
not gonna let him get away with it. I'm going
to force the issue because I know I am right.
I would urge you to check it out at mandy'sblog
dot com. I got some really good stuff in there.
Plus I have my favorite story of twenty twenty four.
It's been so easy to find this one that this
one is especially sweet. I don't know if you heard,

(01:27:21):
but ABC News and its top anchor, George Stephanopolos have
reached a settlement with Donald J. Trump. He sued after
George Stephanopoulos said over and over and over again in
an interview with Representative Nancy Grace that Donald Trump had
been found liable for rape. He had not been found

(01:27:43):
lible for rape. He had been found lible for sexual abuse,
which is a completely different charge and has a distinct
definition under New York law. So what did Donald Trump do?
He sued, and rather than go through the messiness of
a long trial, ABC News said, you know what, we
can just make a fifteen million dollar donation to the

(01:28:06):
Donald J. Trump Presidential Library and go from there. And
George Stephanopolos had to apologize. So good, so so good. Initially,
Stephanopolos was defiant in the face of Trump's lawsuit, telling
CBS Late Night host Stephen Colbert that he wouldn't be

(01:28:28):
quote cowed out of doing my job because of a threat.
Stephanopolos said, Trump sued me because I used the word rape,
even though a judge said that's in fact what did happen.
We filed a motion to dismiss. Well, guess guess what.
That motion to dismiss really didn't really get that many legs,
did it. So ABC News has shelled out the cash

(01:28:49):
money and I think this is absolutely hysterically funny. In
other legal action involving Donald Trump in New York versus Trump,
Judge Juan Marshand granted Trump's Requestifyle Emotion to dismiss the
charges stemming from Alvin Bragg's case and remove the sentencing
date from the president elects schedule. Trump is also suing

(01:29:12):
CBS News for ten billion dollars in damages, stating the
network practice deceptive conduct for the purpose of election interference
in its interview in October with Vice President Kamala Harris.
To my knowledge, CBS has never released the unedited transcript
of that interview. Isn't that interesting? You think they do

(01:29:33):
it now?

Speaker 9 (01:29:34):
Right?

Speaker 4 (01:29:35):
These news organizations are not used to people fighting back,
and if you are a public figure, it is so
incredibly difficult to prove that you have been damaged by
someone else's slander or libel. It is so hard. So
the fact that he is now just suing these people
and they know he's got the money for it. By

(01:29:57):
the way, ABC also had to pay a million fees
for his attorney. I love that story so much I
could marry it. And lastly, before we go into the Colorado,
GOP turns in the next segment that laid his soap
opera from that absolute train wreck of an organization, A
trillion ton iceberg is dead ahead. Okay, maybe not dead ahead,

(01:30:22):
but iceberg A twenty three to A has begun spinning
for the first time in almost thirty years. It broke
off of the Antarctic ice sheet in nineteen eighty six
and immediately got stuck on the ground underneath it. Now
fairly recently, it had started to drift before it got

(01:30:42):
caught in a vortex, which is a spinning sort of
tide that prevented it from moving anywhere else. And now
it has broken free of the vortex and it is
moving into the Atlantic Ocean. Once it reaches the Atlantic,
it is expected to melt due to increase temperature. This
is fairly common. But what's fascinating about this is scientists

(01:31:03):
are very excited to have the opportunity to actually study
what happens when an iceberg of this size melts, because
there's lots of nutrients trapped in this iceberg, and as
it melts, it brings nutrients which therefore gives food for
smaller little sea creatures, which bring bigger sea creatures, So
it could create an entire ecosystem behind it as it

(01:31:25):
melts coming into the Atlantic. I just think this is
as cool as hell. How big is it? It's bigger
than Greater London, weighing more than a trillion tons. It's
more than twice the size of Greater London, thirty eight
hundred square kilometers. This thing is a monster. If a

(01:31:46):
ship runs into this, you got no excuse. If you
can't see it coming, it looks like land coming at you.
I just think this is super super cool, I mean
really super cool. So that nerdy stories on the blog
as well today, as well as stories about how seed oils.
If you've been hearing about seed oils because OURFKA Junior
is very anti seed oil. If you don't know why,

(01:32:07):
you really need to read the story that's on the
blog today about seed oils. It will open your eyes.
In my family, we're olive oil, avocado oil, or butter.
That's what we're using now. We're not using any of
these other seed oils because they're just they're terrible for you.
You want to know why I are in such lousy health,
Look at our food that fuels everything else. We're gonna

(01:32:32):
take a quick time out and then joining us Natalie
Tennant and Todd Watkins. They are in the crosshairs of
the idiot show running the Colorado GOP and we'll talk
about what they've done and what they haven't done when
we get back. I have to thank Astrid I keep
forgetting to do this. Astrid was one of our travelers
on her trip, and I keep forgetting to tell her

(01:32:52):
she made me spam cookies. And I'm not kidding. I'm
talking about the delicious potted pork meat products. She made
cookie with them and they were oddly delicious. I kept
forgetting to tell her I tried them. I just wanted
to give her credit for making spam cookies, and like
I said, they were weirdly actually very tasty and didn't
taste like spam at all. So thank you, Astrad, I

(01:33:15):
keep forgetting to do that, and I just did it.

Speaker 10 (01:33:16):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:33:17):
Joining me on the phone, two dedicated Republicans who are trying,
like the Dickens to just bring some sanity back to
the Republican Party in Colorado. Natalie Tennant and Todd Watkins,
welcome back to the show.

Speaker 7 (01:33:33):
Thank you for having me and Andy.

Speaker 4 (01:33:35):
I appreciate it. I want to start with you, Natalie,
because and if you can kind of lay out the
story and then we'll get to where they sucked Todd
into the situation as well. But give my listeners kind
of that thumbnail sketch of what this latest drama is.

Speaker 5 (01:33:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:33:49):
Well, I'll unpack it the best that I can and
as quick as I can, because there is a lot
to unfold with this. As we know, it's been going
on since the summer when Todd Nancy Palazzi, who are
named in a bunch of this, made a call to
hold a meeting to question and possibly remove Dave Williams

(01:34:11):
does a chair my opinion, and my opinion, they did
it within the bylaws. I followed this very detailed. So
with that being said, we are fast forward. We are
here now. I follow things tremendously.

Speaker 4 (01:34:24):
I like to be in the know.

Speaker 7 (01:34:25):
I like to be educated, and I like to try to.

Speaker 5 (01:34:27):
Go to the source.

Speaker 7 (01:34:28):
So when I see that there was a commissioner, I'm
Wild County, I'm not Douglas County. That stepped down. And
then there became a controversy that Dave Williams had sent
out an email letter going at Steve Pex. So I
was like, wait a minute, what is going on. Why
is it his responsibility as a county chair to replace it? Anyways,

(01:34:51):
I reached out to Steve directly because I wanted to
understand it didn't make sense to me the process right.
So we had a conversation about the process. Stated that
he was going to put out a video just to
explain himself, and I said, okay, I said, would you
like to do a Twitter space X space and He's agreed,

(01:35:11):
So I threw it together. I asked britt A Horn
if she would help post it with me, and she
said yes. And so the topic of this space was
what happened in Douglas County. I wanted to educate myself
and followers for number surrender what happened? Who was supposed
to do this? Because back up a little bit election

(01:35:32):
night and helping cure ballots for Dan Wug, I kept
refreshing through the Secretary of State website to see Dan's
numbers went up. During this time, I realized that there
were actually eighteen seats Mandy that had zero Republican running
for them. So I kind of felt it was a
little hypocritical that Dave is going to accuse Steve for

(01:35:54):
doing something that he actually did.

Speaker 3 (01:35:57):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:35:57):
Yeah, let me clarify one thing, and the core of
this is that Laura Thomas steps down from the Douglas
County Commission. Steve Peck declines to, you know, have a
vacancy committee because Kevin Devi and Wigol had already been
elected to take her place anyway, and it was kind
of assumed that Kevin would just be elevated to that position.

(01:36:18):
So that is my impression about why Steve chose not
to have a vacancy committee and go through that whole process,
and then skipping forward, you guys have this Twitter space
to talk about it, right, So that's where we are correct.

Speaker 24 (01:36:30):
Correct.

Speaker 7 (01:36:31):
That was the time that is hypocrisy. We titled it
that because it is, But I wanted to The reason
for the space was not to attack the state.

Speaker 8 (01:36:40):
Party at all.

Speaker 7 (01:36:42):
It was to talk about this topic. And that's how
it started. It did. I introduced him, We spoke about it,
and here first and foremost, it's a public forum. People
can join it across the world. And there was nothing
bad about this call the people.

Speaker 8 (01:37:03):
All they have to do is actually go listen to it.

Speaker 7 (01:37:05):
If you have a logical brain, you can go listen
to it. Not once was their agitation. I think I
probably had the loudest tone because that's how I talk
when I get excited about things. So there was It
was a perfect call, and it was so in that

(01:37:27):
once we began, Steve had the platform, he explained herself.
People ask questions, Well, somebody had stated that Hope was on,
and I did by no means am I a fan.
Everybody is very I've never shied from that. I don't
agree with them. And I had a second to be like, no,
we're going to bring her on. Absolutely, I stand firm

(01:37:49):
on the first amendment. She was there. I invited her
to speak, and she did, and if anything, she dominated
her and I dominated the conversation. I believe we spoke
the most during this call. So we unpacked. She opened
the door to have conversations about other things. People thanked
her for being on.

Speaker 4 (01:38:09):
Hope is the vice president over, Yeah, I hope, I hope.
Chefleman is the vice president of the call. Ride yeah,
vice chair. So I needed to bring that answer.

Speaker 7 (01:38:17):
So she was on the call.

Speaker 4 (01:38:19):
You guys had a great call. What happened next.

Speaker 7 (01:38:22):
So towards the end of the call, I want to say,
it's like one hundred and like an hour and twenty
something in A gentleman by the name of Anthony Chavez
had asked the question. He was under the handle of
skin in the Game, and he asked the question. I

(01:38:42):
brought up the topic of who runs the State GOP's Twitter,
who runs that account? Because they're not very classy in
their responses and their comments. I've been attacked numerous times
by them. They think I'm a boot liquor and I'm
I'm paid by the establishment. Mandy, I haven't had a
job in three years and I haven't taken a penny
for anything. So we brought that topic up. This gentleman

(01:39:05):
started pushing, you know, he was very persistent about who's
in charge of Dave? And then committee woman Christy Fedora
had said she wanted to answer that question, so that
conversation happened. It was a few moments. She dominated that conversation.
He just kept asking there has to be somebody that
Dave has to answer to. That was the question.

Speaker 4 (01:39:28):
That's forward.

Speaker 7 (01:39:29):
We get through the call, Hope agrees to come back
on again. We've opened that door again. Let's continue the
conversations because Mandy, if we don't talk about it and
we don't fix it, how can we move forward.

Speaker 8 (01:39:44):
We have to move forward.

Speaker 7 (01:39:46):
We can't keep doing this. So the call ends. It
was just shy of two hours. What actually happened immediately
after we ended the space. I'm going to give Dave
the credit because he is the chairman. He attacked me.
They never surrender account. He tweeted and attacked things of

(01:40:09):
I don't have it in front of me right now,
but anybody could go back and look, because it's still
there that I'm paid, I'm a paid operative or again
his words that I'm being paid by somebody on the
inside of this to agitate.

Speaker 4 (01:40:22):
And there was a little tit for tat.

Speaker 7 (01:40:23):
So if anybody agitated anything immediately after the call, it
was actually Dave. So ten plus hours later the next
morning at seven twenty thirty something, this gentleman chooses his
own free will to attack the party first and foremost.
I do not condone this.

Speaker 4 (01:40:43):
And you're talking about the podcast or who made some
very threatening text messages. They did cross the line, But
I don't know anybody who hasn't said that this podcast
crossed the line. But it was a podcaster acting independently
of you guys.

Speaker 5 (01:40:55):
Correct.

Speaker 7 (01:40:57):
Absolutely. I don't know him personally. I don't recall ever
being in spaces or public or anything with him. From
what I've understand and since is maybe he has as
far as I'm understanding from Britain now that he did
help us cure ballots for Dan Wug. He apparently was

(01:41:17):
helpful on several campaigns, don't I did not know this,
and I don't know him personally. So for Dave Williams
to state, matter of factly on a podcast that I
am an ally of this gentleman is a lie. It
is a flat lie. I don't know him. I've never

(01:41:38):
personally been around him. I don't know who this man is.
So again, loud and clear, I don't condone this. It
is horrific. He has been blocked for my platforms. He
will not be included in any spaces that we do
going forward. I know we don't do that. That's not
how we act. So he that's for him to deal with.

Speaker 5 (01:41:59):
But to a US.

Speaker 7 (01:42:00):
Associate with him, with me or to blame never surrender
me and or any of the people named in this.
It blows my mind, Mandy, It really does, because it
was a perfect it was a perfect call.

Speaker 4 (01:42:15):
But here's the thing, and this is so little to
do with you, Natalie, and everything to do with the
character of Dave Williams. He is determined to paint himself
as the victim, and instead of talking about the things
that Coloraden's really care about and how to win races
going forward and increase the gains that we had in
spite of him in this last election cycle, he wants
to spend his time, effort, and money attacking Republicans. Now

(01:42:36):
I want to bring Todd into this because I want
to make sure we cover as much as we can
before we run out of time. Todd, you were part
of the team that I think rightfully held a meeting
to unseat Dave Williams. But now you've been dregged in,
dragged back into this mess. What is your role here?

Speaker 8 (01:42:54):
What Natalie said, Yeah, in that call, I was an
attendee on the call. Commented earlier in that call that
I thought Steve Peck used, you know, good kind of
battlefield decision making and not casting the resources and the
personnel at the Douglas County Central Committee. That's who the

(01:43:18):
vacancy committee was, the whole county Central Committee to appoint
the guy that just won the election that was going
to take that seat in January anyway, and that apparently
my understanding is that police said he would appoint him. Yeah,
so that's really where I think. I think Dave is
upset and some of the other people at Harefield was

(01:43:39):
on there. He's the vice chairman of the Douglas County
Republican Party.

Speaker 7 (01:43:44):
Is that.

Speaker 8 (01:43:46):
They gave they gave Polus a win. I mean he
wounded a Republican.

Speaker 4 (01:43:51):
A Republican who already won the seat. That's why this
is also stupid.

Speaker 8 (01:43:56):
It was going to be vacant for I think four
and a half weeks.

Speaker 7 (01:43:59):
That's done, right, not even well.

Speaker 4 (01:44:00):
I mean Laura did step down a little bit earlier,
so yeah, four and a half weeks, right.

Speaker 8 (01:44:05):
So I think my take on this is Dave wanted
a reason to throw a rockets. Deepect is depech sided
with us on removal yep State and Hope and Natalie.
So he's taken every opportunity he can to draw blood
from any and all of us, and he's not wasting
any time or certainly any credibility or character to do

(01:44:29):
it at all costs.

Speaker 4 (01:44:32):
Here's the thing from my perspective, and I am not
a part of inside party politics at all. From the
outside looking in, the Dave loyalists those people who somehow
believe this man is good for the party will think
you're horrible people. But I talked to Republicans all the
time who are horrified by the leadership of the Republican Party,

(01:44:53):
and I think overwhelmingly they understand that you guys are
just being targeted because there's no positive message to say
right now. Right he should be focusing on the issues
for the next election cycle, but instead he's wasting a
ton of money. Had you seen the late I mean
the latest is what is it? The Anti corruption committee
at the Colorado Gup. It's absurd.

Speaker 5 (01:45:16):
That's aimed at me.

Speaker 8 (01:45:17):
Oh god, I got my name on that, right, the's
aimed at me and Nancy Pelozzi and and Eli Bremmer.
It's just been for the record for your listeners. Nancy
Pelozzi is the chairwoman of the Jefferson County Republican Party.
I am the vice chairman of the El Paso County
Republican Party. Eli is I think he will. He's a
precinct leader down here in El Paso County now. But yeah,

(01:45:39):
we started a civil war and we level levied the
lawfair against the party. That's which is comical, right, because
we followed the bylaws. We did exactly what we what
the bylaws said to do for to hold a vote
to remove an officer of the state party. And the
lawfair has been waiged by Dave. Dave's the one that
took this to court. Dave's the one that asked the

(01:46:01):
courts to intervene. And now Dave is going back to
the courts now he hired this whoever this attorney is
of Matt Arnold. I haven't heard a lot positive about
this guy to yeah to an anti corruption committee. What
authority do these people think that they have They're going
to investigated.

Speaker 4 (01:46:23):
Under what authority exactly? And the thing that gets me
is that they are going to push more and more
people out of the party, and they're going to be
left to reign over their little pile of ashes, and
then when everything goes to hell in a handbasket in Colorado,
they're going to blame somebody who isn't there anymore for
their problems. I just got a text message that said, Mandy,

(01:46:44):
this is Kathleen Chandler. She just got elected to the
RTD board. She said, Dave Williams used my name on
his success email. Not once did he ever connect with me.
I wrote a letter back and was rebuked by Darcy,
one of his staff, for saying, don't use my name
in your success email. Here's my question for both of you.
First of all, don't let this as I like to say,

(01:47:07):
you know, when someone comes at me, I'm like, you
know what, I've been called worse by better, and I
feel like this is the situation for you, guys. You've
been called worse by better, And I hope that you
don't let this drive you out of the party, and
that I hope that people begin to see that the
current leadership of the Colorado GOP is way more concerned
with stupid, petty backbiting for their own party members than

(01:47:30):
they are in winning races going forward in Colorado.

Speaker 23 (01:47:34):
See here.

Speaker 8 (01:47:34):
Though he has an expiration date on his chairmanship, it's March.
There's going to be an organizational meeting in March to
elect new officers. I don't think the tee Lea's are
leaning in his favor here, So for him to embark
upon all of these, you know, retaining attorneys beings rather

(01:47:56):
questionable at best. How much is hemitting of party resources
to do this? And what's he going to leave the next,
you know, the next regime, probably as little as he
can leave. He's probably trying to kind of burn this
down on his way out now.

Speaker 4 (01:48:14):
Honestly, if the Democrats wanted to plant a plant to
destroy the Colorado Republican Party, you could not have found
a better person out of Central Casting than they have
in Dave Williams. He is going to destroy it.

Speaker 8 (01:48:27):
It's almost it's almost so, it's almost too obvious to
be true, you know it is.

Speaker 4 (01:48:33):
Natalie Tenant and Todd Watkins, keep fighting the good fight.
I'm sorry that you are now in the crosshairs, but
trust me, you're in great company. And more and more
people are getting tired of the nonsense coming out of
this party instead of real ideas to help Colorado move forward.
And I appreciate you guys both being on the show
with me today.

Speaker 7 (01:48:52):
Thanks man. Be never surrender means never and will always
mean never, and we won't surrender. We the people are gone.
We're done with this. And for Todd, I don't know
how much time we have. But Todd didn't even bring
up what happened to him today. That he's out in
a public place minding his own business and he has
some do you want to talk about that time?

Speaker 4 (01:49:13):
We're out of time, We're we're we're out of time, guys.
But I know that Todd you were accosted at the gym.

Speaker 8 (01:49:19):
I guess, Oh yeah, it's one of Dave's cult members.
And Vicky's down here. What a therapy I know her. Well, well,
it's just irritating. Well, I see that he's inciting anything
at them.

Speaker 4 (01:49:31):
Well, we'll talk about this again as we move towards
that meeting in March, because I think I'm going to
start a petition for Republicans to sign that if he
or any of his minions get re elected, they're going
to leave the party. So let's see what we can
do there. Guys, thanks for your time today, Thank you many,
thank you. And now it's time for the most exciting
segment on the radio of Its guy world. Ryan Edward's

(01:49:56):
still the goat.

Speaker 2 (01:50:00):
Ryan.

Speaker 4 (01:50:00):
I said this at the beginning of the show yesterday's game.
It made me an even bigger Bronco fan because the
first half was awful, miserable. But who came out of
the locker room whole new team? Do you think it
like offense struggling? We got you, boo it was so good. Yeah,
are so good.

Speaker 5 (01:50:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:50:18):
I mean they started out with the interception on the
first drive and you're just like, and then Jonathan Taylor,
I think, really kind of swung things and yeah, twenty four.

Speaker 5 (01:50:25):
Straight points after that and never really looked back.

Speaker 6 (01:50:27):
And now they have a winning record for the first
time since twenty sixteen, and here we go playoffs.

Speaker 4 (01:50:32):
All right. What is our dad joke of the day?

Speaker 5 (01:50:36):
How much did Santa pay for his sleigh? I don't know,
I don't know nothing. It was on the house.

Speaker 7 (01:50:45):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (01:50:46):
A healthy reminder.

Speaker 3 (01:50:46):
By the way, if you want to cry and watch
a Christmas movie, we finished Klaus again this morning.

Speaker 5 (01:50:51):

Epic epo. H Oh, that's a.

Speaker 4 (01:51:06):
Time period and epic is a time period.

Speaker 5 (01:51:11):
Epoch or something like that too.

Speaker 3 (01:51:13):
It looks like in the event or time marked by
an event that begins a new period or development.

Speaker 4 (01:51:18):
What is the national animal of Scotland? Hint, it isn't
a real animal. I think that's fairly obvious.

Speaker 5 (01:51:24):
It's corn.

Speaker 4 (01:51:26):
Oh no, what did you say?

Speaker 5 (01:51:28):
Unicorn?

Speaker 4 (01:51:28):
You were correct, the unicorn, which features prominently in Celtic mythology,
where it is associated with power and purity. Unicorn sculptures
adorn many buildings across Scotland. So there you go, Edwards,
I'm old.

Speaker 5 (01:51:43):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (01:51:44):
What's our jeopardy category?

Speaker 3 (01:51:45):

true love has those two and eight others with this
blank a leaping man?

Speaker 4 (01:52:00):
What are lords?

Speaker 16 (01:52:01):
Correct?

Speaker 2 (01:52:01):
There you go?

Speaker 3 (01:52:02):
I really don't want to know where my bff found
the eight maids doing.

Speaker 4 (01:52:07):
This water milkin?

Speaker 2 (01:52:09):
Correctyot.

Speaker 3 (01:52:10):
My true love went all out getting Stuart Copeland, Clemburg,
Ginger Baker and nine of nine other of these musicians.

Speaker 4 (01:52:18):
What are drummers?

Speaker 2 (01:52:19):
Correct?

Speaker 3 (01:52:21):
Looks like the love of my life got foul with
this trio trio trio three Ryan, Ryan, what are doves?

Speaker 21 (01:52:31):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:52:32):
Turtle dove?

Speaker 21 (01:52:32):

Speaker 3 (01:52:34):

Three French hen French hensang it and finally a couple
of these birds that Ryan?

Speaker 5 (01:52:42):
Yeah, Ryan Turtle Doves.

Speaker 6 (01:52:44):
Correct, the Turtle Doves. Well, so you, says Stuart Copeland
of like the police, like the police aren in the
song and then and then your drummer, Ginger Baker.

Speaker 4 (01:52:55):
I was like, that's it.

Speaker 2 (01:52:58):
That Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:52:59):
I was just like, no, I've actually found a version
of that song in Straight No Chaser that is actually
bearable because they insert Africa's tote right into the middle.

Speaker 5 (01:53:06):
Of Oh, that'd be cool.

Speaker 4 (01:53:08):
It's very clever street if you've never heard it as
it's very well done, and Straight No Chaser is an
awesome acapella band. What do you guys do today? It's
big Victory Monday.

Speaker 2 (01:53:20):
Victory Monday.

Speaker 6 (01:53:21):
Obviously we'll be breaking down the game quite a bit,
so we have you in rapport joining us at four o'clock.

Speaker 17 (01:53:25):
We will also talk about Travis Hunter, the husband.

Speaker 5 (01:53:28):
Very cool that kid.

Speaker 4 (01:53:29):
Now, let me ask you this, does he go number
one just because of his sheer athleticism no matter the
needs of the team.

Speaker 5 (01:53:36):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:53:37):
I'm fascinated by it because you don't usually see either
a wide receiver or cornerback to go number one overall,
but he is the combination of the two. But if
you need a quarterback. You kind of have to take
either Shad or Standers or cam Ward at the top
of the draft.

Speaker 4 (01:53:52):
It makes sense, but it's like, or do you just
go for the absolute pure best player in the.

Speaker 6 (01:53:57):
Draft Argumov there if you don't believe, leave in either
of these quarterbacks, which some teams won't.

Speaker 4 (01:54:02):
All Right, there you go. That's all coming up next.
We will be back tomorrow, so keep it right here
on Koa
