Speaker 1: Making over for a rod for another days. He continues
Speaker 1: to recover from his post vacation illness. See he has
Speaker 1: what everybody has and joining the studio now from Rejan Revolution.
Speaker 1: Longtime friend, longtime client of each other. How did you
Speaker 1: have to turn her micon theres Oh there you go,
Speaker 1: Rachel Anders, welcome back.
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me back. Well I used to see you.
Speaker 2: Happy New Year. Well, happy New Year to you too.
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons that I wanted to have
Speaker 1: you on this month is because it's resolution time, and
Speaker 1: I think resolutions suck. Okay, so I am anti resolution,
Speaker 1: but what I am is intentionality, right like Choo's, the
Speaker 1: things that are important to you, focus on one of them.
Speaker 1: And if getting your life back health wise is your thing,
Speaker 1: then Rejan Revolution has like they have everything.
Speaker 2: I mean, you're writing kind of a one stop shop.
Speaker 1: We were just talking off the air about some of
Speaker 1: the aesthetic stuff and what did you just say, Well
Speaker 1: about needles.
Speaker 3: We're almost needle free in the office now for facial rejuvenation.
Speaker 2: It's awesome.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: Facial rejuvenation without a surgical without going a surgical route,
Speaker 3: has been something that we've been working on for about
Speaker 3: a decade and the technology that's coming out.
Speaker 2: It just keeps getting better and better and better. But
Speaker 2: I mean, I.
Speaker 3: Don't know if you've talked much about this on the
Speaker 3: show or heard much about this. The long term effect
Speaker 3: of getting fillers in your face so regularly is.
Speaker 1: I just watched an watched and I don't watch batch
Speaker 1: because I don't like surgery shows. But it was on
Speaker 1: as I was doing dishes, so I didn't want to
Speaker 1: grab the remote.
Speaker 2: And oh my god.
Speaker 1: They had a woman who's oh she was completely disfigured
Speaker 1: because her filler moved, and.
Speaker 2: I was like, wait, it can move, it migrates, it
Speaker 2: doesn't aslve.
Speaker 3: Here's the worst thing like women in our generation, right
Speaker 3: we started doing filler to put off a facelift, right right, Well,
Speaker 3: this is great.
Speaker 2: I can do this for a little while.
Speaker 3: It's quote natural, and it dissolves and when I'm ready
Speaker 3: to have a facelift it'll be later in life. So
Speaker 3: but no, Now, plastic surgeons are like mad. They won't
Speaker 3: operate on somebody who's had a lot of filler in
Speaker 3: their face because there's a process you have to go
Speaker 3: through to dissolve all the fillers.
Speaker 2: So they can even actually do.
Speaker 3: A facelift, So they cut your face off to do
Speaker 3: a facelift and then can't even do the facelift and
Speaker 3: have to sew you back up and wake you up
Speaker 3: and tell.
Speaker 2: You that, I mean it's bad, and yeah, it's bad.
Speaker 3: In California, they estheticians aren't even allowed to break the
Speaker 3: skin at all anymore.
Speaker 2: Holy crowd, So what are we talking about? Let's start.
Speaker 1: First of all, let's go back to the I'll call
Speaker 1: it the foundation of regen revolution. There's two foundations. Number
Speaker 1: one is overall physical health, right, that is physical health, manipulation,
Speaker 1: chiropractic function. Yes, physical function. That is the foundation of
Speaker 1: regen revolution. And from that came the regenerated medicine part.
Speaker 1: I have a weird question to ask you. I know
Speaker 1: that you guys don't do everything in regenerate to medicine
Speaker 1: because some stuff is far more invasive and some stuff
Speaker 1: is you know, just needs to be done in a
Speaker 1: surgical suite. I guess like you couldn't do my vocal
Speaker 1: cords like doctor Opperman did in this sure, yeah, but
Speaker 1: what are some of the things that are coming down
Speaker 1: the pike that are starting to become available? And I
Speaker 1: always tell people the stuff that you guys have, Like
Speaker 1: professional athletes have been doing this stuff for twenty five years,
Speaker 1: they just haven't been letting us do it right, So.
Speaker 2: Now we can do it.
Speaker 1: So what are some of the things that are coming
Speaker 1: and are you going to be able to fix my jaw?
Speaker 2: That is my question. We're shut up really? Oh that's yeah?
Speaker 2: No needles? What no needles? How do you do that?
Speaker 2: So one of the machines we have is from BTL.
Speaker 3: BTL is a European physiotherapy company that's been in business
Speaker 3: for like twenty five years. On the FDA has just
Speaker 3: over the past couple of years started letting us letting
Speaker 3: the US like use sell their machines and use their
Speaker 3: machines in the United States.
Speaker 2: So it's an old company.
Speaker 3: But one of their machines called the m Face which
Speaker 3: we use to help rebuild the musculature in the face,
Speaker 3: which gives a natural facelift. There's an attachment for the TMJ,
Speaker 3: so you can actually fix TMJ with the M face machine.
Speaker 1: I've had it for so long now that I just
Speaker 1: grind every time I like, when I'm speaking, I can
Speaker 1: hear the.
Speaker 2: Grind in my jaw. It's terrible.
Speaker 1: And I went to the dentist yesterday and he's like,
Speaker 1: you know you got Oh yeah, I'm aware, thank you.
Speaker 1: I hear it all the time. It's like somebody is
Speaker 1: crinkling up a paper bag in my left ear from
Speaker 1: my jaw. Yeah, all the time.
Speaker 2: That's no good.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 3: Well, and the problem with it is as you get older,
Speaker 3: then it leads to sleep and airway obstruction problems, you know, right,
Speaker 3: and that leads to heart problems and blood pressure planks.
Speaker 1: Rachel, that makes me feel really good about it. Thanks
Speaker 1: for that anyway. But see, but that is actually a
Speaker 1: perfect example of what I love about Region because they're
Speaker 1: not just hey, we're going to give you a shot
Speaker 1: and send you on your way. It's like, here's why
Speaker 1: we're doing what we're doing, here's why all of this
Speaker 1: stuff is connected, here's why everything matters.
Speaker 2: And overall, it's like such a.
Speaker 1: Functional way of doing medicine just in every aspect.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad you think that, and that is the goal.
Speaker 3: And I will say probably the number one comment we
Speaker 3: get from people who come into our office for the
Speaker 3: first time and have an exam is, wow, that is
Speaker 3: the most thorough exam I've ever had. Last week, someone
Speaker 3: was like, thanks for that. Can you tell my doctor
Speaker 3: everything I just said? Because you know, everything is connected,
Speaker 3: and you know, unfortunately in medical schools now it's so
Speaker 3: siloed that medical doctors are trained in their field and
Speaker 3: they're trained to manage something in a field rather than
Speaker 3: looking at the body as a system. But whether they
Speaker 3: do that or not, the body is a system and
Speaker 3: so you know, whatever is happening in your neck is
Speaker 3: going to be related to your shoulder, and whatever's happening
Speaker 3: in your back is going to be related to your knees.
Speaker 3: And so we try to look at the body as
Speaker 3: a whole system. It's more efficient and that way, instead
Speaker 3: of just treating pain in one area, we treat function
Speaker 3: of the whole body. And that way, people you know,
Speaker 3: are able to do what they want to do.
Speaker 1: We have a problem in this country with the reliance
Speaker 1: on pharmacology, and it is I think more and more
Speaker 1: people are starting to get kipped to that about how
Speaker 1: you know, we now have this like fungus that is
Speaker 1: anti biotic resistant because we've created it because we all
Speaker 1: taken too much antibiotics. And I've been joking because over Christmas,
Speaker 1: both Q and Chuck got really sick, like really really sick,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't have time to get sick.
Speaker 1: So I went and bought a bunch of natural supplements
Speaker 1: and things like and I was laughing as I was
Speaker 1: taking it. I was like, here, let me take eye
Speaker 1: of Newt and toe of frog and all but.
Speaker 2: Day if it didn't work.
Speaker 1: I did get sick, but I got sick for two
Speaker 1: days instead of two weeks.
Speaker 2: Right, I'll take it. I will absolutely take it.
Speaker 1: But that being said, I do think that more and
Speaker 1: more people are saying, wait a minute, you know, is
Speaker 1: there a better way where I'm not feeling drugged up,
Speaker 1: where I'm not you know, worried about destroying the lining
Speaker 1: of my stomach, where I'm not worried about doing these things.
Speaker 1: And I really think that people are looking for alternatives
Speaker 1: at work that are not necessarily based in drugs.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's how I feel about it.
Speaker 1: I got a couple of questions from the blog did
Speaker 1: reach in Can they do spinal discs for regenerative medicine?
Speaker 2: Do you guys do that?
Speaker 3: So that's one of those things that you're saying needs
Speaker 3: to be done in a surgical center. If we're injecting
Speaker 3: something into a disc.
Speaker 2: You would want to have that done under fluoroscopy.
Speaker 3: We do have a pain management doctor who we work
Speaker 3: with who has a sea arm in his office and
Speaker 3: we'll do that. And so what we typically do is
Speaker 3: we will look first to see what's going on. A
Speaker 3: lot of people think they need a new disc, or
Speaker 3: they've been told by a surgeon that they need a
Speaker 3: discctomy or something like that, and you know, we get
Speaker 3: them functioning better and you know they no longer feel
Speaker 3: like they need that.
Speaker 2: So you know the first thing to do is just
Speaker 2: to get.
Speaker 3: An exam and if if we can help a person
Speaker 3: will help them.
Speaker 2: And if we can't, well refer them to the right place.
Speaker 1: Okay, perfect, Do they have something that will keep me
Speaker 1: off of a seapap?
Speaker 2: I've never asked you that before.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, I guess it depends on the reason you
Speaker 3: feel like you need a seapap. So some people it's
Speaker 3: just the way they're sleeping, and if you give them
Speaker 3: a good cervical pillow, you know, or fix the reason
Speaker 3: that they're in pain while sleeping, then yes, if it's
Speaker 3: something where you know you might need to go to
Speaker 3: a an ear nose and throat doctor like doctor Opperman, ye,
Speaker 3: to look at why you have airway obstruction. I mean,
Speaker 3: there are so many reasons that people can't be sleeping well.
Speaker 3: And the thing about seapaps is it's funny because I
Speaker 3: saw doctor Apperman last week about the very thing because.
Speaker 2: I don't want one of those.
Speaker 3: He said that even you can fix the apnea, but
Speaker 3: it still doesn't help somebody sleep better. Like sleep is
Speaker 3: such a complex field that we really don't know very
Speaker 3: much about collectively, he said. And so yes, there are
Speaker 3: a lot of options there, but I would start with
Speaker 3: an e NT or if your dentist has a sleep
Speaker 3: doctor that they write with, you know, talk to your dentist.
Speaker 1: Mandy's surgery is the only option because insurance doesn't cover
Speaker 1: any of this. Is there any chance that we're going
Speaker 1: to see more because some stuff is covered in certain situations, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, there are certain situations where PRP can be covered.
Speaker 1: I know, like our insurance covered PRP for me to
Speaker 1: get that in my vocal cords as part of my surgery.
Speaker 1: So they are starting to recognize that.
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 3: That makes me sad, that statement that surgery is the
Speaker 3: only option because insurance doesn't cover this. That's the reality though,
Speaker 3: you know, you know, surgery, it's not the surgery doesn't
Speaker 3: have as place, but it's to be considered a last
Speaker 3: resort because once you have some kind of surgical intervention,
Speaker 3: once you cut your body open and surgically alter it,
Speaker 3: you can't ever go back from that. And so if
Speaker 3: it doesn't produce the desired result or there's a complication,
Speaker 3: and from that you're, you know, too bad. So we
Speaker 3: do believe it's the last resort. With the technologies that
Speaker 3: are coming out, it has brought the price down of
Speaker 3: regenerative medicine a lot, you know, And so because we
Speaker 3: have more options, and you know, depending on what a
Speaker 3: person's budget is, you know, we can certainly get something
Speaker 3: that's you know, in anybody's budget that will help them
Speaker 3: in their office, in our office. The thing about insurance
Speaker 3: is too it's kind of a scam.
Speaker 1: Surprise, Yeah, I'm gonna say something. No, we talk about
Speaker 1: that quite a bit on the program. So, because as
Speaker 1: it's structured now, it is definitely not not beneficial.
Speaker 2: To the consumer.
Speaker 3: But even if you even if say your insurance covered it, okay,
Speaker 3: you would still have to pay your deductible which on
Speaker 3: average for an in network deductible I see there about
Speaker 3: five thousand on average. You would still have to pay
Speaker 3: your five thousand dollars deductible and your twenty percent co
Speaker 3: insurance on these products, which is the same price as
Speaker 3: paying out a pocket right, So it doesn't really do
Speaker 3: you any good. Your insurance company is in the business
Speaker 3: of collecting premiums and not paying claims.
Speaker 2: And that's what they've got it dialed. Yeah, they really
Speaker 2: do this question, Mandy. Do they have anything that.
Speaker 3: They offer in regards to ED Yes, we have a
Speaker 3: few options actually, and this is another area where the
Speaker 3: technology just gets better.
Speaker 1: Can we start with hormone replacement though? Can we just
Speaker 1: have a moment on hormone replacement for men?
Speaker 2: For women?
Speaker 1: I feel like every time I meet a crabby old person,
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm like, you really need to have
Speaker 1: your hormones right, because it is an absolute game changer.
Speaker 1: You just feel like yourself again.
Speaker 3: We have a kind of a funny thing that happens
Speaker 3: in the office sometimes if somebody it's like, you know,
Speaker 3: just freaks out about something, it's like whoa hormones? Because
Speaker 3: it's everybody struggles with this. After a certain age well.
Speaker 1: And then for men, hormones are are very important for
Speaker 1: such coge so essential.
Speaker 3: So you know, we don't generally treat ED without first
Speaker 3: looking at hormone panel, right, So some men have gone
Speaker 3: have started there and some men haven't. And then regarding
Speaker 3: the treatments for ED, it really depends on the severity
Speaker 3: of the ED. So there is an internationally used kind
Speaker 3: of score for ED called the SHIM score s H
Speaker 3: I M. It's sexual Health Index for men. I think
Speaker 3: is what that stands for. So if you look up
Speaker 3: s HIM, you just google that, you'll find many many
Speaker 3: sites where you can type in the SHIM score. You
Speaker 3: can look on our website. We have it on there too,
Speaker 3: and depending on what your SHIM.
Speaker 2: Score is, we'll dictate the treatment.
Speaker 3: But we have a lot of options for that, depending
Speaker 3: on you know, what you're trying to achieve or what
Speaker 3: the severity of the problem is, and those treatments are effective.
Speaker 2: Is that is the MCELA chair one of those. The
Speaker 2: mcel chair is one of those. Let's on that for
Speaker 2: a second.
Speaker 1: This is what I love is for the longest time,
Speaker 1: there was a lot of issues with aging health that
Speaker 1: I think we're just kind of ignored because they were
Speaker 1: just part of you were just gonna have Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: gonna pee when you laugh if you had kids, right,
Speaker 1: that was just you're gonna that's gonna happen, right there,
Speaker 1: you go. It's just, oh, that's just a measure of
Speaker 1: getting older. Well, now people are like, no, I don't
Speaker 1: like this, and so now this technology is coming out.
Speaker 1: It's non invasive, easiest thing you've ever done in your life.
Speaker 2: Remain clothed.
Speaker 1: You just sit on this is shair and on the chair.
Speaker 1: That's it, and it's amazing. But boy it works, and
Speaker 1: it worhams like witchcraft. But then it's not.
Speaker 2: It's not. It's just your strengthening your pelvic floor.
Speaker 3: Your pelvic floor is this weak little wisp of a
Speaker 3: muscle at the bottom of your pelvis that your whole
Speaker 3: spinal column sits in. So, yes, women who've had babies
Speaker 3: have this most commonly, or at least we've thought that.
Speaker 3: Now that I talk about it so openly, I realize
Speaker 3: that pretty much everyone over forty has some form of
Speaker 3: urinary in continents. And it's just because your whole spinal
Speaker 3: column is resting on this thin little muscle, and so
Speaker 3: strengthening that muscle helps and it does help a sexual
Speaker 3: function for men and women. I heard something the other
Speaker 3: day that they are actually more adult diapers currently base
Speaker 3: sold in our country than baby diapers.
Speaker 1: No, whoa, that's not surprising urinary contents, that is not
Speaker 1: surprising at all.
Speaker 2: And those things are expensive.
Speaker 1: Before my late mother in law passed, that was we
Speaker 1: used to supply those for her, you know, just to help.
Speaker 2: Out Holy mackerel, I mean Holy mackerel.
Speaker 3: And it's not sanitary, you know, because a lot of
Speaker 3: times they'll spend you know, all day in the same one.
Speaker 2: You know, it's just not and then that causes other
Speaker 2: health problems.
Speaker 1: The cost wise, you're going to very quickly cross that
Speaker 1: line where continuing to buy adult diapers is far more
Speaker 1: expensive than any of the treatments that you're going to
Speaker 1: get it regionally.
Speaker 3: And there's also I heard this referred to as listening
Speaker 3: to some of the other day, called the urinary leash,
Speaker 3: which is like oh your house, Yeah, how far you
Speaker 3: can walk or how far you can hike, or how
Speaker 3: far you can walk around a city while you're traveling,
Speaker 3: or how because of this urinary leash and how hard
Speaker 3: it is to necessarily find for women, especially a place
Speaker 3: to relieve themselves if they need to.
Speaker 1: Especially in the woods. Although I have no shame, Mandy.
Speaker 1: What is PRP again? That is platelet rich plasma and
Speaker 1: that is where they take your own blood. They do
Speaker 1: a blood draw, they spin it in a centrifuge, and
Speaker 1: then they pull out the plasma which is now concentrated.
Speaker 2: And why do they do that, Rachel.
Speaker 3: Because your plasma is loaded with growth factors and things
Speaker 3: that signal healing in your body. So it starts this
Speaker 3: whole cascade of healing. So PRP is natural. It's we
Speaker 3: can take it from your own body. We can get
Speaker 3: as much of it as we want, and it's not
Speaker 3: expensive and it works.
Speaker 2: And we do that for a couple of reasons.
Speaker 3: One to kind of build a scaffolding of a new
Speaker 3: healthy tissue if we're preparing that area for you know,
Speaker 3: stronger regenerative medicine.
Speaker 2: We have kids. It come in like young athletes who.
Speaker 3: Have little label tears or little problems with their elbow,
Speaker 3: you know, and their PRP their platelests are so robust
Speaker 3: because they're young and they heal quickly. Anyway that you
Speaker 3: put concentrated PRP into young athletes. We have, like you know,
Speaker 3: baseball players that were home for Christmas, you know, get
Speaker 3: right their shoulders and their elbows treated.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's it's amazing.
Speaker 3: It is kind of you know, we our technology is
Speaker 3: continuing to advance.
Speaker 2: Even beyond PRP. You know, PRP has been around for
Speaker 2: a long time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dan asked, this, is there stem cell therapy for
Speaker 1: male pattern baldness?
Speaker 2: Yes, Dan, there is. Although again, you know, our our
Speaker 2: goal is.
Speaker 3: Always just to say what's you know, on the cutting edge,
Speaker 3: because not only does it get better results for the patients,
Speaker 3: but frequently holding on to the old technologies is expensive
Speaker 3: and adopting what's new, you know, drives the costs down.
Speaker 2: So we're always trying to do that.
Speaker 3: But what's been shown recently to be the most effective
Speaker 3: for hair restoration is actually exosomes, not stem.
Speaker 2: Cells, the exozome IV. No, we micro needle exosomes into
Speaker 2: the scalp. What are exosomes?
Speaker 3: Exosomes are also a product that comes from the umbilical
Speaker 3: core in the Warton's jelli. But exosomes are very tiny,
Speaker 3: or stem cells are larger. Exosomes are signaling cells and
Speaker 3: so they're signaling healing and you know, different types of
Speaker 3: functions in the body to work better and to reinstate
Speaker 3: you know, neurological pathways and healing pathways and things like that.
Speaker 2: So now when we do a.
Speaker 3: Stem cell injection or something like that, we like to
Speaker 3: combine it with exosomes because you add the signaling factors
Speaker 3: to the stem cells and we just get better results
Speaker 3: doing that.
Speaker 1: Before anybody asks the question, where do where do these
Speaker 1: Whartons jelly? Where does the inside of the placenta, Where
Speaker 1: does that come from?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Wharton's jelly is the jelly that's found inside
Speaker 3: the umbilical cord. So mothers who are having planned c sections,
Speaker 3: you know, so they can be heavily screened for the
Speaker 3: you know, their health and any history of disease and
Speaker 3: all of that, donate their birthing tissue to science. And
Speaker 3: then the Wharton's jelly is processed in a lab to
Speaker 3: extract different components of it that can be used for
Speaker 3: different applications and put into a vial and cryogenically preserved
Speaker 3: and then ship to us so we can use them
Speaker 3: for various things.
Speaker 1: But I just to be clear, there's no aborted baby
Speaker 1: tissue here.
Speaker 2: No, that's wellbody wants that. Here's something so and this
Speaker 2: is important. I'm glad this came up. So with stem.
Speaker 3: Cells, there are different types, right, So you can get
Speaker 3: them from your bone marrow, you can get them from
Speaker 3: your fat, you can get them from embryonic tissue.
Speaker 2: Right, that's illegal. So does that do you guys? Remember
Speaker 2: was it Dolly the sheep? Yes, the cloneoned sheep?
Speaker 3: Right, Dolly was a sheep that was cloned using plury
Speaker 3: potent stem cells. Those are from a boarded fetal tissue. Oh,
Speaker 3: pluripotent stem cells.
Speaker 2: So, and the reason they're now illegal in the.
Speaker 3: United States is because Dolly the cloned sheep died of
Speaker 3: metastatic cancer within five years, and all three of Dolly's
Speaker 3: offspring also died of metastatic cancer. So the Bush administration
Speaker 3: at that time said no pluripotent stem cells are allowed
Speaker 3: in the United States. So when you're going to Mexico
Speaker 3: or power somewhere again, five billion stem cells for this
Speaker 3: price or ten billion stem cells for this price, they're
Speaker 3: pluripotent stem cells.
Speaker 2: They can turn.
Speaker 3: Into anything including metastatic cancer.
Speaker 2: Metastatic cancer.
Speaker 3: So it's important that we're using mesenchymal stem cells, not
Speaker 3: plury potent stem cells. It's very important that people are
Speaker 3: you know, educated, but I wouldn't get anything. Well, first
Speaker 3: of all, they can't even put clean drinking water on
Speaker 3: the table in Mexico. I wouldn't get a biologic ejected
Speaker 3: into be there anyway. But you need to know what
Speaker 3: you're getting, and there's a reason why they're not able
Speaker 3: to operate in the US.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will. We'll continue this.
Speaker 1: We've got a bunch of questions on the common spirit
Speaker 1: health chech like a bunch. We're with Rachel Andrews or
Speaker 1: Andrews Anders from Regen Revolution.
Speaker 2: Will be right back, Dave, Happy.
Speaker 5: New Year, Happy New Year, Mandy, Welcome back is as well.
Speaker 4: You had got some time off and so did I.
Speaker 1: So it was nice, you know, and I loved every
Speaker 1: bit of every single bit of it. It was wonderful.
Speaker 1: But I came back from Ohio where it was also
Speaker 1: quite nice. It was the weather was not bad there
Speaker 1: until like the last we Okay, Dave, this was kind
Speaker 1: of cool. Can I just have like a weather like
Speaker 1: a nerdy weather moment with you for a moment. So
Speaker 1: we're driving back from northeast or northwest Ohio, right, so
Speaker 1: we get in the car and it's like nine o'clock
Speaker 1: in the morning and it's like sixty degrees. So between
Speaker 1: where we ended up stopping on the west side of
Speaker 1: Kansas City, No, we went beyond that. We went to Manhattan, Kansas.
Speaker 1: So we drove at to Manhattan, Kansas. We drove to
Speaker 1: a cold front, so we stopped to eat. We go
Speaker 1: in the restaurant, it's like sixty five degrees. We come
Speaker 1: out of the restaurant, it's like thirty five degrees.
Speaker 2: I love that kind of stuff.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's fantastic. You know, we see those.
Speaker 5: Temperature swings that drops here as well, But in the
Speaker 5: Midwest sometimes that can be an ugly transition there because
Speaker 5: it can be in ice and snow, especially if you're
Speaker 5: on the roads traveling.
Speaker 4: That's never fun.
Speaker 5: I had to drive one time. We've had the same thing.
Speaker 5: We left here and everything was fine. We were chasing
Speaker 5: the back end of a blizzard and I tried to
Speaker 5: time it out as we were heading from here through
Speaker 5: Des Moines and towards Milwaukee, and I tried to time
Speaker 5: it out that we would stay on the back.
Speaker 4: Edge of the blizzard.
Speaker 5: I got a little too aggressive and the driving and
Speaker 5: got into the back edge, and boy, what the difference
Speaker 5: it makes.
Speaker 4: It was so bad.
Speaker 6: I had to stop for gas.
Speaker 5: It was so cold, so windy, snow was sideways.
Speaker 4: My debit card got stuck.
Speaker 6: In the gas because it was frozen.
Speaker 5: I had to get the guy to shut the pump off.
Speaker 4: A damn card back out much so, I love that.
Speaker 1: My first weather experience like that was I was laying
Speaker 1: over in Minneapolis, Minnesota as a matter of fact, and
Speaker 1: we walked to the restaurant from the hotel. It was
Speaker 1: like a two mile walk, No big deal, right, you know.
Speaker 1: We walked down there, we eat, we come out. It
Speaker 1: was seventy degrees. I had on shorts. It was snowing.
Speaker 1: So in the two and a half hours we were
Speaker 1: in there, like it's just it was crazy. But anyway,
Speaker 1: I do have questions about our actual weather tomorrow.
Speaker 2: So what are we really looking at.
Speaker 1: Let's start with the stock show first of all, goes
Speaker 1: off at noon. Are they going to be able to
Speaker 1: get that done before they have to deal with foul weather?
Speaker 5: You're talking the parade down Yeah, yes, I.
Speaker 4: Think they'll get it off.
Speaker 6: They have dealt with weather in the past.
Speaker 4: When it deals with cold and snow, right now.
Speaker 5: There's a lot of questions that still need to be answered. Generally,
Speaker 5: at this time frame, you know, we're within the twelve
Speaker 5: to eighteen hours of this event starting. We'd like more
Speaker 5: details finalized, but we're still working out some final details.
Speaker 5: Here's the bottom line. It's going to snow, and it's
Speaker 5: going to turn colder.
Speaker 4: It's going to.
Speaker 5: Drop tomorrow into the upper thirties and then slowly drop
Speaker 5: the low freezing late tomorrow afternoon. Thursday's Friday's high will
Speaker 5: only be around thirty three thirty four. Overnight lows will
Speaker 5: be in the teams in twenties. So we've got the
Speaker 5: cold component, We've got enough moist that we will get snow.
Speaker 5: Always in these situations, the questions becomes the how much,
Speaker 5: and it's the how much that we're still struggling with
Speaker 5: a little bit as computer models range widely, and it
Speaker 5: has to do with the windflow that you and I
Speaker 5: talk about all the time.
Speaker 4: For the stock show parade.
Speaker 6: I do think there could be some light snow shows
Speaker 6: around my.
Speaker 4: Forecast right now, just find it is.
Speaker 6: I do think we'll have some light snow in the.
Speaker 5: Morning and then there could be a lull for many
Speaker 5: hours in the afternoon before things kick back in around
Speaker 5: four o'clock. So with the stock show parade, I think
Speaker 5: it could be cold, and there could be some flurries
Speaker 5: of light snow showers, but I don't think they're going
Speaker 5: to be in the brunt of the snow.
Speaker 6: I think that happens after four.
Speaker 5: O'clock tomorrow afternoon and then continues till about two to
Speaker 5: four in the morning, so about a twelve hour bend.
Speaker 5: And it's that duration if we can sustain the right
Speaker 5: wind direction, that.
Speaker 6: Will give us our snow totals, which we think right.
Speaker 5: Now, Mandy are about one to four typical upslope one
Speaker 5: as you go up towards Fort Collins, two swards lovelands,
Speaker 5: threes and fours as you come into Denver, and then
Speaker 5: the heaviest totals will be south and west.
Speaker 4: Of I seventy, where we see those favorite numbers get
Speaker 4: a little deeper.
Speaker 1: So basically, this Texter said, Mandy Weather, I'm traveling by
Speaker 1: car west on I seventy from Denver Friday and Nowadan
Speaker 1: and I kids just updated. So basically they're asking, so Friday,
Speaker 1: you should have what snow on the roads, but no
Speaker 1: snow to.
Speaker 4: Deal with exactly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just going to depend This storm should lift
Speaker 5: out very early Friday morning, leaving us with little snow
Speaker 5: to deal with after about eight to ten, and that
Speaker 5: includes the mountains. But it will come down to what
Speaker 5: do the roads look like, What does it look like
Speaker 5: getting up Floyd Hill.
Speaker 4: And into the mountains?
Speaker 5: Are there any pass considerations, veil pass and stuff like that.
Speaker 4: So if you're.
Speaker 5: Driving from Denver and heading west, I would say.
Speaker 6: You're you're okay, but just be prepared.
Speaker 5: For any you know, road conditions that may have deteriorated
Speaker 5: the night before.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the bigger weather picture over the next
Speaker 1: six weeks. I know you guys always look out. It's
Speaker 1: it's very imprecise science at this point. But we've had
Speaker 1: such a dryfall, we're well below snowpack. Are we looking
Speaker 1: to make Is there anything on the you know, on
Speaker 1: the horizon that is going to change that for us?
Speaker 6: So you know that that has been a concern.
Speaker 5: You know, It's interesting the calendar year twenty twenty five
Speaker 5: actually ended up right where it should be for moisture.
Speaker 4: And what that tells me is it.
Speaker 6: Was short for snow for the early snow months that we've.
Speaker 5: Had so September, October, November, December, December, Mandy actually came
Speaker 5: out right on track. And what people may forget is
Speaker 5: that on the third of December we had a four
Speaker 5: point three snow in snowstorm, and then on the twenty
Speaker 5: eighth we had another two point three for six point
Speaker 5: six total, which is the average for the month of December.
Speaker 5: So December actually ended up okay, and for the entire
Speaker 5: year we ended.
Speaker 4: Up right where we should be for moisture.
Speaker 5: What that tells me is that while we were lacking
Speaker 5: in snow, we made up for the moisture in the
Speaker 5: calendar year because of a wet spring and periodic rains
Speaker 5: over December. And if you'll remember our conversations going back
Speaker 5: to September, and you know, everything's still being green and
Speaker 5: the fall was looking in October and should we blow
Speaker 5: the sprinklers out because it's dry and everything still looks lush.
Speaker 5: That had to do with all that early season moisture
Speaker 5: that kept us looking pretty good. Where we are lacking
Speaker 5: is snow. The snowpack is only at about sixty percent FOS.
Speaker 4: And I always like to listen, we still have got
Speaker 4: all of January, all of February and.
Speaker 5: Marching April our snowiest month, and so for the snowpack
Speaker 5: and our snow concerns, we load now. We want to
Speaker 5: load as much snow as we can up through about
Speaker 5: April seventh, and then after that we start to melt
Speaker 5: the snow, and that's our water supply and reservoirs, so
Speaker 5: we've got time to make up for the shortfalls. I
Speaker 5: wouldn't give up on the season this year, this early.
Speaker 1: I was going to say, the ski resorts have been
Speaker 1: having a terrible time because there's a lack of snow.
Speaker 1: Are they going to get a good stow? Are they
Speaker 1: going to get a soaking here.
Speaker 2: With this storm?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 4: Yeah, this will be good. The last one they got
Speaker 4: there was.
Speaker 5: If you were following any of the resorts like Loveland
Speaker 5: and Aspen, Snowmass and all those guys, they were rejoicing
Speaker 5: in the last snow. They got really deep fresh powder
Speaker 5: of eight to ten inches some places. We're twelve thirteen.
Speaker 5: They'll get similar totals here. We're looking at a good
Speaker 5: eight to twelve inches in the mountain, so great with them.
Speaker 5: Should help with the snowpack. Overall, This is a good storm.
Speaker 5: Moisture equivalent. I will tell you this that the month
Speaker 5: of January, our total moisture is around four tenths of
Speaker 5: an inch.
Speaker 4: This storm coming in.
Speaker 5: Has the ability to deliver about a quarter of an inch,
Speaker 5: maybe a little more, and that obviously equates to two
Speaker 5: to four to two to five to maybe two to
Speaker 5: six inches on the south side of town that would
Speaker 5: be here. You know, we're what eight days into the month.
Speaker 5: Nine days into the month would be almost a whole
Speaker 5: month's moisture. So again, you know, you look at the
Speaker 5: bigger picture and you think that December was the second
Speaker 5: Warmistan record. It's long, long stretches of dry and warm
Speaker 5: and windy conditions.
Speaker 4: But then you sprinkle in.
Speaker 5: These, you know, decent snowstorms, and when you average it
Speaker 5: out at the end of the month, it actually doesn't
Speaker 5: look that bad on paper. It's just that we go
Speaker 5: through these long stretches. And by the way, this is
Speaker 5: exactly where we were last year. This is a classic
Speaker 5: Laminia pattern where we get these long, dry, windy stretches,
Speaker 5: fire concerns get elevated, and then all of a sudden, banged,
Speaker 5: you get hit with a storm. Those concerns go away
Speaker 5: for several days and then you get back into that pattern,
Speaker 5: and I do think that's what we'll see following this event.
Speaker 4: Thursday Fridays, we go back to warm and dry.
Speaker 2: From your lips to God's ears.
Speaker 1: Dave Frasier, Fox thirty one is Chief Meteorologists. Good to
Speaker 1: talk to you, my friend, and I'm looking forward to
Speaker 1: another exciting year of weather Wednesday.
