WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:03.240 The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock 2 00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:04.799 Accident and injury Lawyers. 3 00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:15.759 No, it's Mandy Connell and Knee FM. 4 00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:26.120 Got way us through Free Andy Connell keeping sad thing. 5 00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:30.000 Welcome well them. It's a Tuesday edition of the show. 6 00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:32.759 I'm your host, Mandy Connell, and we shall barrow through 7 00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:35.920 I with the help of Anthety Rodriguez. You can call 8 00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:42.240 him a rod what Mandy Laura. Soon we are waiting 9 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:47.039 a few moments from now, we should have the vote 10 00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:51.240 to release the Jeffrey Epstein files. And at this stage 11 00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:56.320 in the game, just get it over with, Just get 12 00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:58.759 it over with. It's time. I am going to be 13 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.759 very cynical. I believe that a lot of the most 14 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:09.439 damning documentation for high level and powerful people has probably 15 00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:15.079 already been lost accidentally, I'm sure, and certainly not at 16 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.040 the best of you know, higher UPSID in the last 17 00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:20.519 many many years that all of this data and information 18 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:23.040 has been held by law enforcement. But there will be 19 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:25.319 a vote, and I think most Republicans are now going 20 00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:27.040 to vote for it because Trump has come out and said, 21 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:31.079 you know what, release them, just do it. It's fine. 22 00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.239 So this drama hopefully will be coming to somewhat of 23 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:38.799 a close, and it will be turned over to a 24 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:41.920 bunch of journalists who will pour over every single detail 25 00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:44.400 and then they will find the most salacious parts that 26 00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.519 hurt whatever they view the opposition to be. They will 27 00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:49.560 then write stories about it. People on the right will 28 00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:51.480 only see the bad stories about people on the left, 29 00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:53.640 people on the left will only see the bad stories 30 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:55.719 about people on the right, and everyone will drop back 31 00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:59.719 to their corners on point fingers, and then nothing will change. 32 00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:05.640 Or that's how cynical I am about this. So I've 33 00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.639 got good news, though really good news. I'm super excited. 34 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:12.319 Tomorrow is the day. It is the KOA holiday food 35 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.919 drive to benefit our friends at Food Bank of the Rockies. 36 00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:19.639 This year, our food banks are under tremendous stress, as 37 00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:25.680 many households are under tremendous stress, and they probably blew 38 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:27.400 through a lot of food they didn't think they were 39 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:30.759 going to blow through when snap benefits were not sent out, 40 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.319 and now I'm guessing they're operating from a negative position. 41 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.199 We'll hopefully be able to talk to someone from Food 42 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.400 Bank of the Rockies tomorrow at the corner of Colorado 43 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:43.000 and Yale, Yes right in front of the King swoopers. 44 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.560 And this is one of my favorite things every year 45 00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.199 because I love meeting you guys. I see familiar faces 46 00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:51.840 now every year, people who stop by every single year. 47 00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:54.800 You can drop off some groceries, you can drop off 48 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.800 a turkey, yep, and or you can make a donation 49 00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:02.439 because food banks can stretch your dollar a lot further 50 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:05.199 than you can when it comes to. 51 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.240 You know, buying in bulk and things of that nature. 52 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:13.439 But if you can. I love donating food. I love 53 00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:14.840 donating food. Do you do this when you go to 54 00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:17.039 the grocery store, Anthony? Do you when you're walking in 55 00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.479 and the people are who are collecting for the food 56 00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:20.879 bank and they have the little cards? Do you ever 57 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:22.280 get the little cards and go in and buy some 58 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.159 extra stuff. I always love doing that. 59 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:25.719 No, I don't seem where I go. 60 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:27.400 You don't see them where you go. We have them 61 00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:31.080 all in Douglas County. There's one like a lot of saturdays, 62 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.919 especially around the holidays, and I try to go buy 63 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:36.159 some of the things that I think are a little 64 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.840 on the pricey side that maybe other people can't afford 65 00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:41.960 to buy and donate. So I try to find the 66 00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:46.840 you know, the little slightly high dollar items and then 67 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:48.960 I buy. I just like it. I like thinking that 68 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.879 I'm gonna help somebody have a good Thanksgiving this. 69 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:54.199 How much is your average turkey? 70 00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:57.719 I have not looked at turkeys. 71 00:03:57.759 --> 00:03:59.560 I think we'll go buy a few tomorrow. 72 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.080 I usually buy. I usually spend, you know, fifty bucks 73 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.400 and buy whatever fifty bucks worth of turkeys can get 74 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:10.400 me and donate. And Mandy, did you give up trying 75 00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:14.560 to cross talk with Brownie? Well, it seems that mister 76 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.600 brown does not value our time together and chooses to 77 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.519 keep his time for himself. 78 00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:23.399 To be fair. And that's find to be fair. 79 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:28.120 Yes, he could be just valuing your time because he 80 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.040 gets you out on time and gets us into our 81 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:32.519 show on time. 82 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:33.240 I understand. 83 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:38.040 I understand that. So that's you know, our time is 84 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.279 supposed to be the last four minutes of his show. 85 00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:42.800 That's supposed to work. 86 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:44.879 You do go in there and you smile. 87 00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:49.439 I smile quietly. Don't interrupt, Mike ready, it's not nice. 88 00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:53.279 I'm I'm now, I'm good. But you know what is 89 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.160 it the old Bonnie Rate song. You can't make them 90 00:04:56.199 --> 00:05:01.600 love you. If they don't, you can't make their never mind. 91 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.600 H Brownie, you can make them do things. Yeah. 92 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:08.240 Yeah, but Mandy, your buddy Massey is pushing for the 93 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:12.160 release along with Bobert. Interesting guys, I find it. 94 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:12.680 You know. 95 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:14.439 I did hear Brownie say something at the end of 96 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:18.480 his show that I reject categorically, and that is that 97 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:23.439 Thomas Massey is doing this for political purposes. Thomas Massey, 98 00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:25.839 first of all, in addition to being one of the 99 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:30.040 most interesting guys you'll ever meet, if he lost his election, 100 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.759 he would go back to his house in Kentucky and 101 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.720 he would continue inventing things and getting patents on stuff. 102 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:39.319 Because even while he's been in Congress, he invents stuff 103 00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:43.839 all the time. He already has like thirty patents for 104 00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:47.720 important stuff. Like He's such an egghead. He is such 105 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:51.560 a brilliant guy overall. He is not the kind of 106 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:54.560 guy who eats, lives and breathes and dies for politics. 107 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.199 He eats, lives and breaths for his principles that he 108 00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:01.560 tried to bring to DC. Only d hates people with principles. 109 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:05.079 I said it yesterday, I will say it again, and 110 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.319 he knows as well as I do that there are 111 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:12.240 people that are being protected by not releasing the Epstein documents. 112 00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.040 And here's the thing, you guys, if people have been 113 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:22.199 investigated and they have been exonerated, then the FBI can 114 00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.120 have that list ready to go. Hey, just so you know, 115 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:31.439 we investigated these people extensively and found absolutely nothing that 116 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:37.040 would be remotely suspicious. I mean, I'm just tired of like, oh, 117 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:40.720 we can't just it's frustrating. It's always important people that 118 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:43.920 we have to protect. It's never you or me or 119 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:48.000 a rod right, We're never worthy of protection. It's just 120 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:50.519 really well connected people that we have to be super 121 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.920 concerned about accidentally being accused of something they didn't do, 122 00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:57.639 which would be awful, don't get me wrong. People at 123 00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:02.480 that level also have the ability to clearly and convincingly 124 00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:06.600 say here's what happened, here's what we did. Know they're there, 125 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:09.519 and if there is there there, then they should get 126 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:11.720 everything they deserve. By the way, I haven't even done 127 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.600 the blog yet, but on the blog today, I have 128 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.480 a fantastic story about one of those powerful people who 129 00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:20.319 is getting his come upance because of the Jeffrey Epstein 130 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:24.399 emails that were released, Larry Summers. Larry Summers has bounced 131 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:29.240 between Harvard and government high high level government for so 132 00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:32.839 many years now, rolling in very rarefied air and in 133 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:38.920 high level circles is economic predictions have not been horrible, 134 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:41.560 but certainly, I mean he's not Robert Reich, for God's sake. 135 00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:42.920 I mean they weren't horrible. 136 00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:47.839 But Larry Summers has now been outed as a disgusting creep. 137 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:53.759 Why because even after Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of you 138 00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:58.279 child sex trafficking or accepted a plea for something much less, 139 00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.360 but everybody knew Larry Summer was still asking him for 140 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:04.480 dating advice for how he could cheat on his wife. 141 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:06.680 Now he and his wife may have some kind of arrangement. 142 00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:10.439 I don't know, but it's just gross. At one point, 143 00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:18.439 he calls Jeffrey Epstein is wingman gross gross. So I'm 144 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:22.160 perfectly fine with these people getting out it. I'm perfectly 145 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:27.399 fine with that anyway. Mandy, you don't like Michael Brown. 146 00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:29.959 I never said any like Michael Brown. I said Michael 147 00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:34.240 doesn't value our time together. That's totally different than me 148 00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:38.919 saying I don't like Michael Brown. Geez, you people, Mandy, 149 00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.120 on sale turkeys are a buck a pound.

I think the fact that anytime 247 00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:05.279 you say turkey, there's a turkey gobble is funny. I 248 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:06.879 don't think this can get enough. I don't think I 249 00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:11.440 can get enough of that turkey sound. Turkey calls for everyone. Okay, 250 00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:16.559 turkey that textor just said turkey.

Anyway, got a lot of stuff on the 254 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:34.600 blog today. Okay, topic we must take on today a 255 00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:39.799 rod because let's be real, we have smart, creative people, 256 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:43.279 some of whom are sports fans, but even the non 257 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:47.519 sports fans are still smart and creative about sports nicknames. 258 00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:50.559 We gotta come up with a good nickname for Bonix. 259 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:54.279 The leader in the clubhouse on Twitter was the Closer. 260 00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:56.559 I like that. 261 00:14:57.399 --> 00:15:01.799 I like that, but it's more like Peyton was the sheriff. 262 00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:02.960 We're looking for something like that. 263 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:06.039 Yeah, I like the Closer, but if that becomes that 264 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:08.279 kid if they win the Super Bowl, does he get 265 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:12.240 a new Cadillac Second prize steak knives? You've probably never 266 00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:15.120 seen Glen Garry, Glenn Ross. Have you okay all of 267 00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:18.279 my jokes today, audience? I hope you're enjoying all of 268 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.679 them because I'm getting the dull stare of the dairy 269 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:24.240 cow for my youthful producer Jay's Louise. 270 00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:27.200 Yeah, no, I was born sometime racing. 271 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:29.000 So great joke. 272 00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:32.960 Biggest news of the day that I am the most 273 00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:34.960 excited about, and it just gives you the level of 274 00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:38.159 the news that I got into today. The best news ever. 275 00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:41.320 They are finally breaking ground on a cell phone lot 276 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:45.200 at DIA. That makes sense. I have no problem with 277 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:48.279 the cell phone lot as it exists, other than the 278 00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:51.120 location is stupid. It should be on the right side 279 00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:53.799 of Pania, so you get off on the right, back 280 00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:56.120 on on the right instead of having to go down, 281 00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:00.000 turn right, turn left. It's just stupid where it's located. 282 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:05.000 I mean, if it hadn't already been made, sure, you're right, 283 00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:07.240 but it's really not that big of a deal, and 284 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:10.320 you know it's really not gonna be worth the construction 285 00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:11.440 all off. 286 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:14.600 To the side sure, it's all off to the side. 287 00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:16.200 You don't need to do that. You don't even need 288 00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:18.120 to worry about that because it's all off on that 289 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:18.879 scrabbly part. 290 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:21.279 I would take the extra two minutes it takes to 291 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:25.320 get to where you need to go for the lack 292 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:26.919 of construction that it would take. 293 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.200 Hello, Mandy, when a Rod said that, I gasped at 294 00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:35.759 the same time you ask you anyway, So there was 295 00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:38.080 an internet issue this morning, and then I started getting 296 00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:39.960 into the news and I was like, nah, you know, 297 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:42.480 nothing's really grabbing me. I wanted to remind you have 298 00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:44.679 been thinking about going on the Mandy Connele adventure. We 299 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:49.240 have three cabins left room for six people now cruising tours, 300 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:50.960 trying to get a few more cabins because there's always 301 00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:52.919 last minute people that want to go. But if you 302 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:55.639 are thinking about giving the best gift ever to your 303 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:59.559 husband or wife, this is it. Truly, We're going next October. 304 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:02.159 Find out all the information on the blog today and 305 00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:04.799 then I have a bunch of interesting stuff that I 306 00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:07.039 want to ask questions about. And one question I have 307 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:12.920 for you skiers, Okay. Seinfeld's festivous Miracle is another phenomenal 308 00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:18.519 Christmas episode from a Jewish shows. No stop it. I 309 00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:20.440 will literally fight you in the hallway right now, we 310 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:23.000 will go to fusticuffs. I have a coffee mug in 311 00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:25.359 my hand. I'll smash it against the wall and use 312 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:27.880 this handle like a backwards whatever the thing is that 313 00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:28.599 goes across your. 314 00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:30.559 Knuckles, and I'll say it's about Dan time. Let's go 315 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:38.279 square Upconnell. What the best man or woman went? I'll 316 00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:39.440 slap you around like a turkey. 317 00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:44.599 Yeah yeah, Mandy, my daughter's fantasy football team is Big 318 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:52.759 Nick's Energy. Okay, that's been a pretty funny fresher. Yeah yeah, 319 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:55.440 Glenn Gary, Glenn Ross one of the worst movies ever made. 320 00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:58.079 Hated it. I love it because I love dialogue and 321 00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:01.920 the dialogue and that is effect and another text or 322 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:07.440 just text, Mandy, coffee is for closers. Exactly right, exactly right. 323 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:10.599 The question I have for you guys who actually ski 324 00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:14.799 in this listening audience is that have you guys been 325 00:18:14.839 --> 00:18:17.759 priced out of skiing? Now there's a lot of young people. 326 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:20.200 Gina Gondeck loves to ski. She's got the epic pass 327 00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:21.960 or icona on which one she asked she has a 328 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:24.279 pass grant loves to ski, so I know he has 329 00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:28.519 a pass. But the prospect of going up the mountain 330 00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:32.200 for just like a day, to especially an Aspen, You're 331 00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:34.559 gonna be like two hundred dollars just in lift tickets 332 00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:37.519 if it's a holiday weekend. Is it worth it? And 333 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:40.839 I'm curious because we've been talking a lot because Aron 334 00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:43.119 loves Las Vegas, and we've been talking a lot about 335 00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:47.000 how Vegas has seen a big dip in tourism because 336 00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:53.480 like people's perception of diminishing returns got high enough that 337 00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:56.680 they were like, it's not worth it. Now. The problem 338 00:18:57.440 --> 00:18:59.640 is that there are so many people from around the 339 00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:03.400 world for which Colorado is a lifetime dream destination to 340 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:07.319 come skiing. So it's not like if every Colorado just said, nah, 341 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.279 we're good, they would close their doors. I mean, it 342 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:15.000 would probably hurt. But I'm curious because I don't ski. 343 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:17.839 I've tried skiing, and Chuck tells me I'm pretty good 344 00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:21.319 at it. I don't believe him, but I especially can't 345 00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:23.039 lose the fear of dying. So I have to ask 346 00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:26.279 you guys this, and I'd love to know what you think. 347 00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:29.200 Hit me up on the Common Spirit Health text line five, six, six, 348 00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:31.839 nine zero. We'll be back with those after this what 349 00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:34.440 they thought or if they had been priced out of 350 00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:39.279 the market. There's an article today from our friends at 351 00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:41.480 Fox thirty one and they kind of did a cost 352 00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:45.119 analysis of based on average income and blah blah blah, 353 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:47.599 and it's very technical and they did a fine, fine job. 354 00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:49.240 I don't want to make it seem like they didn't, 355 00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:51.440 but the reality is, I think the easier way is 356 00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:54.759 have you been priced out of skiing? The only thing 357 00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:59.799 that I can compare this to is as a Floridian, 358 00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:04.759 I feel very resentful about being priced out of Disney World. 359 00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:08.839 Don't laugh. When I was a kid, you could go 360 00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:12.720 to disney World for like twenty five dollars. And knowing 361 00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:15.160 now that a day at Disney will cost you a 362 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:20.000 couple hundred bucks on certain days, that offends me and 363 00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:22.480 it makes me angry. And I wasn't going to Disney 364 00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:25.559 World every other weekend as some people used to when 365 00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:27.359 they were skiing a lot. And that's what I'm getting 366 00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:30.000 from a lot of you, Mandy. My husband and I 367 00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:32.200 used to go skiing every weekend in the late eighties 368 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:35.240 and early nineties after we moved here in nineteen eighty five, 369 00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:38.160 we could get tickets for eighteen bucks a day. Even then, 370 00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:41.680 traffic was horrendous. Between the prices and the traffic, we 371 00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:44.160 no longer go, not to mention, I don't think I 372 00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:47.079 want to. In my sixties, I could never lose the 373 00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:50.839 fear of imminent death when I was skiing. Mandy. Yes, 374 00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:53.240 it's gotten too expensive for me. I started skiing at 375 00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:58.160 age two, and the last five years has just gotten ridiculous. Mandy. 376 00:20:58.200 --> 00:21:03.359 I haven't necessarily been priced out, I've been crowded out, Ayrod, 377 00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:08.079 we got a couple bo Nick's suggestions, the nixecutioner. 378 00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:10.559 Really, I like that a lot real. 379 00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:13.839 And then this one bow knows how to close. 380 00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:17.880 That's too long. It's got to be short and snappy. Yeah, 381 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:20.599 just a nickname, Mandy. Never pay full price for a 382 00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:23.680 lift ticket. There are deals all over the once for day, 383 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:26.200 dikeets and four packs, and the only holiday you should 384 00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:29.720 ski is on Christmas days, Skip Presidents and Mlkday, et cetera. 385 00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:33.640 I will not be doing any of that, Mandy. I 386 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:36.279 don't ski because I've learned that trees don't like people, 387 00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:38.319 and they get revenge every chance they get. It does 388 00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:42.519 seem that way, Mandy, you see this watch it costs 389 00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:45.759 more than your car. Thank you, Glenn Gary, Glenn Ross heites. 390 00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:47.799 I love that you're still texting me. Quotes from that 391 00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:51.279 movie are east skiing, not to mention dealing with the 392 00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:53.440 traffic both up and down the mountain? Is it worth it? 393 00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:56.720 Time and money? Mandy is a divorced dad with a 394 00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:59.200 young daughter. Half the time. There is no way I 395 00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:02.000 can afford to take her and let her experience it. 396 00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:06.319 Grew up in Colorado, says this Texter skier since age six. 397 00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:09.359 I can get down Paulacini at the Bays and no issue. 398 00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:14.799 Now an ex skier hassle and cost too much. Why 399 00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:17.440 Yogi said, we get the military epic passes, and this 400 00:22:17.559 --> 00:22:20.160 year Hobby and Sun got Icon as well. It's expensive 401 00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:22.559
