And hopefully we can get to the next 43 00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.640 fifty or so minutes without any more disa. I have 44 00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:04.159 great Okay, So we have Cubuffs basketball coming up at one, 45 00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:06.159 so I wanted to make sure you guys had stuff 46 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:10.000 to watch. So I pulled some really really good videos 47 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.240 that I thought were worth your time if you like 48 00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:15.159 the Voice. I got a great just kind of the 49 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.639 voice from around the world. Some of the covers that 50 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:18.840 were the most popular. 51 00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:20.960 I love that. Do you watch the Voice? Zach is 52 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:22.479 at a show that young people watch. 53 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.520 I don't catch it like religiously, but if I'm visiting 54 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.120 my mom, she's a fairly big fan. 55 00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:29.199 I'll watch it with her, you know, Okay, I will 56 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:29.680 accept that. 57 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.400 I love the very beginning of the Voice, But then 58 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.319 when it starts to get contrived and they're like trying 59 00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:37.759 to coach everybody, and then by the end everybody's like 60 00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.759 the most polished, perfect singer in the history of singers, 61 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.439 that's when I get bored. I mean, I usually watch 62 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.319 the finale, but I'll watch the beginning that I kind 63 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:48.680 of maybe I do, maybe I don't in the middle, 64 00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:50.039 and then and then I watch the end. 65 00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:52.039 But the blind. 66 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.560 Auditions, I love the whole concept because you'll have people 67 00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:58.919 that don't look remark just remotely what they sound like 68 00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:01.319 and it's just kind of cool concept and it's a 69 00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:03.800 good show. It's a really good, you know, competition show. 70 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.759 That video is on the blog today Jim Gaffagan talking 71 00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.520 about password anxiety, and I've never felt so seen in 72 00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:14.639 my entire life. Like password managers are getting way more aggressive. 73 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:16.520 They're like you put in. 74 00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:18.479 A pass where they're like, yeah, you already use that 75 00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:20.080 one seventeen years. 76 00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:23.800 Ago, Like what, hey remember seventeen years ago. 77 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:26.360 That's on the blog. My favorite video on the blog today. 78 00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:28.400 I saw this the other day on one of my 79 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:33.639 Facebook feeds or Instagram or whatever, and it's just so 80 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:38.719 it's such a beautiful video of something so simple. It 81 00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:44.879 is a barber who does these haircuts for neurodivergent and 82 00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:48.039 developmentally disabled kids. So these are kids that could be 83 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:52.439 anywhere on the autism spectrum. They could be nonverbal and 84 00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:56.120 have real serious challenges, or they could be kids with 85 00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.879 down syndrome that are a little uncomfortable getting their haircut. 86 00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:01.159 You've just got to see this guy give a kid 87 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:03.800 a haircut. And I know it sounds so dumb. You're like, Manny, 88 00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:06.759 why am I gonna spend thirteen minutes watching a guy 89 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:07.439 give a haircut? 90 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:11.400 To a kid, because the care that this barber. 91 00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:15.479 Has for this child and the strategies that he employs 92 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:19.600 are incredibly interesting to watch. And it really if you're 93 00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:22.240 if after the election cycle, maybe your faith in humanity 94 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:22.959 has been shaken. 95 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:25.680 This is the kind of stuff that makes me have 96 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:30.759 faith in our fellow humans. This guy, this family, this haircut. 97 00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:32.279 So if you're feeling a. 98 00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.879 Little down on the world, then go watch the haircut video. 99 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:38.040 And then to follow that up, we got a nice 100 00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:40.600 little Irish couple been married sixty two years, stopped on 101 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.560 the street to ask some questions and now I have 102 00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:48.079 new relationship goals. So that's on there. And Tony Robbins 103 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:50.720 with Theovon. Now, if you don't know who Theovon is, 104 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.319 he is the most surprisingly popular podcaster I have ever 105 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.079 seen in my life. The fact that Theovonne is famous 106 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.800 is amazing to me. The because he's not talented, because 107 00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:06.560 he's really good. He's one of those interviewers that his interview. 108 00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:09.120 Style is know nothing at the beginning of. 109 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:13.560 The interview and basically use the interview to plumb every. 110 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.639 Aspect of what his guest has to offer. 111 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.959 Because Theovonne often comes across like I have no idea 112 00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:21.519 about anything about this, but he asks great questions, the 113 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:24.199 same questions you would ask, and hearing him talk to 114 00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:28.279 Tony Robbins is just really, really interesting. So those are 115 00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:31.839 things for you to entertain you during the basketball game 116 00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.519 of cubuffs. Basketball is not your favorite thing. I did 117 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.800 you know how I've been rising above since after the election. 118 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.600 I've been rising above. I'm not piling on. I'm not 119 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.519 trying to make anybody who is scared to death on 120 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:47.040 the other side feel worse. I'm not doing any of that. However, 121 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:49.519 And he had to know there's going to be a 122 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.199 however in there. Someone on the internet, and I'm just 123 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:56.120 blaming the internet on this one. Someone on the internet 124 00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:02.079 made a video and a parody song two journeys Who's 125 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:02.839 Crying Now? 126 00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:08.800 And it's really funny. And as you can imagine, it. 127 00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:13.480 Is perhaps a compilation of people on the left announcing 128 00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:15.680 that Donald Trump was not going to win the election, 129 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.759 set two a parody song called Who's Crying Now? 130 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:23.279 And it is pretty dang funny. I mean, not for everyone. 131 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:24.959 And if you're on that side that I'm trying not 132 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.000 to pile on to you, that I'm trying to you know, 133 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:29.120 have generous spirit towards then you don't need to. 134 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.759 Watch that one. Just stay away Mandy's block dot com. 135 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:34.680 Anyway, I've got a couple of stories that I want 136 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:38.199 to talk about Yesterday. Remember when we talked about Matt Gates. 137 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:39.680 Now I didn't talk about this at the beginning of 138 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:42.720 the show, I don't think so. Matt Gates out of Congress, 139 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:46.480 not going back to Congress, and he started a cameo page, 140 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.079 and I jokingly said, I'm totally doing this. Well, now 141 00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:51.279 I'm doing it, you guys, Now just hear me out. 142 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:53.199 It's going to happen when I get back from vacation. 143 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.480 I'm setting this up because none other than Lauren Bobert, 144 00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:01.120 sitting member of the House of Representatives, started a cameo page. Now, 145 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.040 it was only up over the weekend because apparently there's 146 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:10.480 a lot of suspicion that a lawmaker cannot sell a speech. 147 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:12.920 There is actual prohibitions. You can't charge for a. 148 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.480 Speech when you are in Congress because then there could 149 00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:18.720 be a quick pro quot situation. So there's a lot 150 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.199 of rules about it. And by Monday, she had pulled 151 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:23.920 her cameo page down. But I was like, dang, it. 152 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:26.839 If it's good enough for Lauren, it's good enough for me. 153 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.600 So after the if you're waiting for the perfect Christmas gift, 154 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:34.040 it's gonna be my cameo page. One of our sales 155 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:37.439 staff just showed me that her fellow co workers for 156 00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:40.680 her birthday bought her a cameo message from the Golden 157 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:43.040 Bachelor Jerry whatever his last name is. 158 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:47.120 It is. It is so hilarious that I loved it. 159 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.519 I love it. I love it so much, so now 160 00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:52.480 I'm doing it. I'm doing it. 161 00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:54.199 This is gonna accuse college funds. If you want my 162 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:55.279 daughter to have a solid. 163 00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:56.680 Education, you're gonna want to send a cameo to. 164 00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:59.199 Someone you love. That's gonna be my new thing. I 165 00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:01.720 might quit my job. I just full time cameo. I'm kidding, 166 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:04.959 of course, not that many people are gonna pay me 167 00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:07.879 for these. I'm lowering my expectations, but I'm just making 168 00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:10.879 it available. Here's the reason I'm actually talking about the 169 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:12.959 Lauren Bobert thing. And this is one of those things 170 00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:15.279 that I hope someone plays for her because I mean it. 171 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.879 In her cameo intro video, she says, and this is 172 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:25.120 a quote, it's your girl from Colorado Lauren Bobert. Now, 173 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.519 I realize that's folksy and relatable. I get it, and 174 00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:31.600 from an advertising perspective, that is probably a good idea. 175 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.240 But there's something that I think I feel about Lauren 176 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:38.600 Bobert that I don't know if she feels about Lauren Bobert, 177 00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:43.399 and that is Lauren Bobert is an accomplished woman. I 178 00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.080 may disagree with her strategies, but she is a sitting 179 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.840 member of Congress. She just won in a different district. 180 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:51.600 She's going back to Congress to represent the people of Colorado. 181 00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:55.600 And sometimes I don't think she recognizes that she is 182 00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:59.600 an accomplished woman. She's not your girl from Colorado. She 183 00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.000 is your representative from Colorado. I know she can't say 184 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:06.519 that in her cameo video, but I'm frustrated when I 185 00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:08.519 see women, and a lot of times it is women 186 00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:11.879 of her age, like getting to forty but not quite 187 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:16.399 there yet, who don't understand their value and their accomplishments 188 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.919 and the level of due respect that they should demand 189 00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.360 from everybody else, but they should also give themselves. So 190 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:26.000 if anybody knows Lauren, let her know. She's a member 191 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.639 of Congress. She is an accomplished woman. She should be 192 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:29.240 proud of that. 193 00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:32.480 She doesn't need to like I'm your girl, because you're 194 00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:33.440 not a girl. You're a woman. 195 00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:36.559 And there's nothing wrong with being a woman. I mean, 196 00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:39.279 everybody wants to do it now, even dudes. It's like, 197 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:42.399 nothing wrong with it. Everybody wants to be a woman now. 198 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:45.759 O JK. I'm just kidding, Mandy. If you run the 199 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.000 one eight hundred cars for kids commercially in your cameo, 200 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:54.440 then you should pay us. That will never happen, never, never. 201 00:09:54.519 --> 00:10:00.000 Never happen never, Mandy. Why does Ross get the prime spot? 202 00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:04.120 Is it because he's a liberal? The reason goes back 203 00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:07.919 to when we replaced Rush Limbaugh on this station, and 204 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.159 it had to do with programming decisions that were made 205 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:15.399 not by a programmer, I'm gonna be perfectly honest. 206 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:17.159 They were made by a person who was. 207 00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:20.679 No longer with the company, thank god, and they were 208 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.919 bad programming decisions for a variety of reasons. But but 209 00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:27.799 I love this time slot and Ross does a fantastic 210 00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:29.279 job in the timeslot before me. 211 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:33.879 And he's not a liberal, you guys, Ross is really 212 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:34.440 not a liberal. 213 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:36.840 But I'm not going to spend today defending Rosskaminski because 214 00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:40.840 he can defend himself anyway. I have video from our 215 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:42.039 friends at Fox thirty one. 216 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:45.799 This kind of stuff makes me crazy, and I get it. 217 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:47.399 I get it with Tauris right. 218 00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:50.320 Like I understand when tourists come to Colorado or they 219 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:53.399 go to Yellowstone. Do you follow tourns of Yellowstone on 220 00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:55.000 any social media, Zach. 221 00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:57.440 I've seen the videos of the people like, hey, let's 222 00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:58.360 go Petnak Grizly. 223 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:03.360 Yeah, And Tourns of Yellowellowstone is literally a whole social 224 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:06.600 media site and it's t you are oh and a 225 00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:11.639 combination of tourists and moron okay, Toron's of Yellowstone, and 226 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:15.200 it's literally just visitors to Yellowstone Park doing dumb ass 227 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.720 things like walking off the path by a thermal poll 228 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:21.720 that's like a billion degrees, or trying to get up 229 00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:24.360 close and personal with a bison. You know, it's just 230 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:27.279 it's absurd. So that's kind of what this feels like. 231 00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:30.600 Guyan Esta's Park is walking to work, right, He's walking 232 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:34.879 to work and this out big ass bull elk, full 233 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:38.080 rack of horns, like big ass bull elk right is 234 00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:40.840 about I don't know, fifteen twenty feet away and he 235 00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:44.799 just proceeds to walk toward the elk. Now know this, 236 00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:47.879 there's a fence, right, There's a fence that is running 237 00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:50.639 parallel to his path. If he were on the other 238 00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:53.320 side of the fence, I don't think this bull. 239 00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:55.000 Elk would have thought anything about him. But he wasn't. 240 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:56.919 He was on the same side of the elk as 241 00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.120 the fence as the elk, and then the elk. 242 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:01.960 Charges at him. The guy backs up. Then the guy 243 00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:06.080 throws his coffee at the elk. First of all, really, really, 244 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:09.039 you wasted a perfectly good cup of coffee. 245 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.679 Here's my prediction of what happened here. And if you 246 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:13.559 know the guy, I'd love to talk to him on 247 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:17.279 the air. He's one of those guys that is going 248 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:20.279 to prove to you how unbothered he is by all 249 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:23.279 the wildlife in his town of Estes Park, and he's 250 00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:25.840 gonna prove this to all these tourists with their cameras 251 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:29.159 by just walking right by it. And the elk decided 252 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:33.360 not to play his role to the proper effect, and 253 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:35.840 so then he got embarrassed because you know this time 254 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:38.360 of year, people are standing there videotaping because the elk 255 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:40.840 are in Estes Park, not as much as earlier in 256 00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:41.080 the year. 257 00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:43.480 But yeah, they're still there obviously, And the. 258 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:45.200 Guy got embarrassed and he ended up throwing his coffee 259 00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:49.080 at the elk and I hope, sir, I'm really it 260 00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.639 was an Evergreen Why did I think it was an 261 00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:55.360 Estes Park? Sorry about that kid's Evergreen lake? You are 262 00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:59.120 righte Texter, thank you very much, thank you, very very 263 00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:04.480 much so Evergreen Lake. My apologies. But nonetheless, this guy's 264 00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:08.120 going to work. He's not a tourist. It always amazes 265 00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:12.559 me when when locals get so casual about wildlife. It's 266 00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:16.559 called wildlife for a reason. He's lucky it didn't get stabbed. 267 00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:20.159 You know what is that? That's goring? Right when you 268 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:23.159 get hit? Is there this Look at the definition of gord. 269 00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:24.639 It's goring. 270 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.159 I have a family out in the country in Westcliffe, Colorado, 271 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.159 and a big problem is a dog's getting gored by deer. 272 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:34.360 And yeah, somebody just in my neighborhood one of their 273 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:37.799 dogs got slashed by a deer in the backyard. And 274 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:40.799 in my case, deer gets caught in my backyard and 275 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:42.759 it didn't have any horns and it just my dog 276 00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:45.320 chased it around the yard. Forty times until I can 277 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:48.279 let it out. Jenks is still tired. 278 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:49.159 From that gore. 279 00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:53.039 To gore or to be gored is to be pierced 280 00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:55.480 or stabbed with a horn or a tusk. 281 00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.360 That sounds awful, like of all the ways to die, 282 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:02.480 like for me, being eaten by a lion sounds horrible, okay, 283 00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:05.120 or a hippopotamus because they're mean as hell. They kill 284 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:06.759 a ton of people every year, so I don't want 285 00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:09.320 to be eaten by a lion or a hippopotamus. But 286 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:13.399 being gored to death sounds pretty horrible, you know, or 287 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.679 any situation where you're impaled on him that just sounds ugh. 288 00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:21.919 We really bad, really really bad. All right, So that 289 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.799 is on the blog as well, not the well, the 290 00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:26.879 story is. You can see him. It's just it's silly 291 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:29.360 and stupid, Just a silly and stupid. 292 00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:30.600 Thing, Mandy. 293 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.120 That guy is a true moran and was reaching for 294 00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:35.440 his phone. He should get a ticket. Is there ticketing 295 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:37.440 or they just let you get killed by the elk 296 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.799 as your punishment. I vote for the second part. Sounds 297 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:44.000 to me, says this textter like the elk is smarter 298 00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.399 than the man, especially throwing his coffee at it. 299 00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:51.919 I know, I know, I agree, I agree. 300 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.519 Also on the blog today, I want to point this out. 301 00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:57.679 We are about to get a ton of snow in 302 00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:01.360 the mountains, like an absolute of snow in the mountains. 303 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:05.559 It is gonna rip and if you are planning ongoing skiing, 304 00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:08.559 you need to be aware if you're a backcountry skier, 305 00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:11.360 a snow skier, a snowshoe or rather, and you're going 306 00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:17.120 to be off the beaten paths. The Avalanche Forecast Agency 307 00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:19.600 whatever it's called, to me find that name, Colorado Avalanche 308 00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:22.840 Information Center said, look, we've got an avalanche watch from 309 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:26.080 five pm Tuesday to five pm Wednesday because they're going 310 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:30.919 to get so much snow. Let's see here in Veil Pass, 311 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:35.879 they're looking at seventeen inches Aspen, nineteen inches, Georgetown fourteen inches, 312 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:40.240 s Does Park six inches, twelve inches at Steamboat. So 313 00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:41.840 there's gonna be a lot of snow coming in the 314 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:44.039 next couple of days. So if you're planning on doing 315 00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:47.039 any back country skiing, be careful. You know, there's some 316 00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:50.440 really cool stuff now that is designed to prevent you 317 00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:52.759 from dying in an avalanche. And it's like, if you're 318 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:54.600 into that kind of sport, and it's. 319 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:55.399 Not all cumbersome. 320 00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:58.159 You know, it used to be these giant backpacks and stuff. No, 321 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:00.519 I mean, it's not all that cumbersome. And I would 322 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.279 hate to have one of my listeners die in an ablage. 323 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:05.320 Dying in an avalanche is also a bad way to go. 324 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:08.159 So now we've established being eaten by a lion bad 325 00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:11.799 way to go. Uh, being eaten my hippopotamus also a 326 00:16:11.799 --> 00:16:15.120 bad way to go, being gorged to death, and now 327 00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:18.480 dying in an avalanche. Well, although maybe you just suffocate, 328 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:22.799 I don't know. See, suffocation seems like kind of a 329 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:25.639 peaceful way to go if you have to go. Not 330 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:29.840 that I'm looking forward to it, unfortunately, says this texter. 331 00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:31.480 If the el Kurt's the man, they would have to 332 00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:38.279 kill it. Yep, exactly right. So yes, I'm with you 333 00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:43.320 on that one, stupid man online. We also have an 334 00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:46.279 interesting editorial that I want to talk about when we 335 00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:51.000 get back that is so accurate because people are starting 336 00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:55.320 to shift. Remember a few years ago when the uh, 337 00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:59.399 I think I think Mayor Michael Hancock was the first 338 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:03.320 person that I heard use the phrase houseless. 339 00:17:04.200 --> 00:17:07.160 Right, We've changed the names of. 340 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:11.000 People who are chronically homeless and we keep changing the 341 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:14.039 name as if changing the name is somehow going to 342 00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:17.720 change the underlying condition that has left people living on 343 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:21.119 the streets, and that is mostly mental illness and addiction 344 00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:25.519 or a combination of the two. You know, trauma related 345 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:29.519 addiction is probably at the top of the list. Well, 346 00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:35.480 I think that enough years and enough badness has happened 347 00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:39.680 with homeless people getting more aggressive, homeless people even being 348 00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:43.720 more aggressive with police and firefighters, and people are starting 349 00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:45.559 to go, wait a minute, what we're doing isn't working. 350 00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:47.720 So when we get back, I'm going to share part 351 00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:49.880 of this editorial, not all of it, but I'm going 352 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.680 to share part of it because I'm happy to see. 353 00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:55.720 I think anyway that more people are starting to stand 354 00:17:55.799 --> 00:18:00.000 up and say, until we address the underlying root cause 355 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:03.519 of these issues, we're never going to come close to 356 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:06.400 solving homelessness. We're gonna get into that next to keep 357 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:14.000 it right here on KOA. Okay, you guys on the 358 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:17.359 text line at five six six nine oh, the Common 359 00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:20.599 Spirit Health text line. And and you guys, we now 360 00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:22.440 have the worst possible way to die. 361 00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:24.839 In case we're wondering it. 362 00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:28.880 Is, it is the worst possible way to die. And 363 00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:33.400 as soon as I find it again because it just updated. Mandy, 364 00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:35.880 we just had a guy in our neighborhood fall dead 365 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:40.720 head first, fall headfirst into a septic tank and drown. 366 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:44.519 I take back everything I said about being eaten by lions. 367 00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:49.839 That is indeed the worst way, the worst way. Hippos 368 00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:52.319 are vegetarian, but they will stomp you to death, you know, 369 00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:54.680 But hippos kill a bunch of people every year, like 370 00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:55.720 way more than lions. 371 00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:59.480 You think lions are the badasses. No, it's hippos that are. 372 00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:03.720 The mass andres My brother says, this texter was completely 373 00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:07.359 buried into Colorado avalanche and survived a number of lucky 374 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:09.839 factors all came together at once. It led to his survival, 375 00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:13.440 and avalanche expert later commented that only twenty five percent 376 00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:16.200 of victims survived the avalanche type he was in. So 377 00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:19.200 I chose to believe his survival as an example of 378 00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:21.319 a miracle of God. He's gone on to have a 379 00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:23.839 son and lead a kind, generous and productive life, and 380 00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:25.119 this Thanksgiving, I'm. 381 00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:27.519 Grateful he survived. That is a great story. 382 00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:29.720 But I just want people to be careful because of 383 00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:31.359 all this snow that we're going to get in the mountains. 384 00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:36.039 We definitely have an avalanche danger. The Avalanche Organization has 385 00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:38.119 put that out there. I want to share some of 386 00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:41.160 this editorial because you know, we're about to come up 387 00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:45.160 to Colorado Gives Day. And I say that because every 388 00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:49.279 year on Colorado Gives Day, I feature multiple organizations that 389 00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:52.039 I think are worthy of your donation. 390 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:54.440 And I'll tell you the reasons why. 391 00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:59.039 I would like to see we as Colorado's, especially we 392 00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:02.400 as Denver Metro or Boulder Rights or whatever you want 393 00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:04.559 to call us, like we are all in this together. 394 00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:07.400 I would love to see to support organizations that are 395 00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:11.680 doing work to treat addiction. For this very reason, this 396 00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:15.200 editorial starts. You can see them shooting up, vaping, smoking, 397 00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:18.359 or guzzling out of a bottle in alleyways, parks, maybe 398 00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:21.279 a neighborhood playground. In their wake, they leave a trail 399 00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:24.680 of spence, syrnches and other drug paraphernalia with empty bottles 400 00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:25.759 and cans as the chaser. 401 00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:29.079
