Speaker 1: That's fun too, right five oh five, On this glorious
Speaker 1: Friday afternoon before Mother's Day, I think we're going to
Speaker 1: have ryan probably the nicest Mother's Day weekend we have
Speaker 1: in decades. Eighty tomorrow, just sunshine straight through cloud or
Speaker 1: two on Mother's Day Hive eighty four, Monday eighty six.
Speaker 1: Maybe a couple of clouds doesn't look like anything funky
Speaker 1: at all next week, So hey, spring U sprong, let's
Speaker 1: enjoy it at some point during this hour. In fact,
Speaker 1: let's just start it now, throwing calls whenever you'd like.
Speaker 1: On this we do it the Friday before every Mother's
Speaker 1: Day show. We should probably do it every day. And
Speaker 1: that is the best advice your mother ever gave you,
Speaker 1: because it's amazing, right that we have such collective wisdom
Speaker 1: within our audience. When you think of all the people
Speaker 1: on our audience and so all the people who had
Speaker 1: mothers and all of the wisdom from those mothers, and
Speaker 1: then our callers boil it down to maybe, you know,
Speaker 1: the top gem that they got from their mother, or
Speaker 1: maybe the top two. So it's a really fun and
Speaker 1: helpful show each year when we do that. So fire
Speaker 1: it will or you can taxt d an five seven
Speaker 1: seven three nine three or three someone three eight two
Speaker 1: five five. I'm kind of a throwback. I love the callers,
Speaker 1: but one way or the other, we'll get your mama's
Speaker 1: wisdom onto the show. And my mom had so much
Speaker 1: I just don't want to hog the at on this.
Speaker 1: She just had so much great wisdom. And my dad too,
Speaker 1: of course, right, but boy, and my mom was she
Speaker 1: could have been anything, CEO of anything. She she decided
Speaker 1: to stay home with us, and so we got that
Speaker 1: wisdom from her all the time, sometimes accompanied by a uh,
Speaker 1: you know, some firm physical encouragement. But boy, what a
Speaker 1: devoted mom, all right, he three or three someone three
Speaker 1: eight two five five text D five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 1: And a great one is I go to the phone
Speaker 1: lines and text, hey, we're talking a lot about you know,
Speaker 1: we're learning more and more about the Pope. We talked
Speaker 1: about a lot yesterday and just more and more reason
Speaker 1: to believe that what I said yesterday is true and
Speaker 1: what I felt, and I really I'm sure you the
Speaker 1: same way. I just truly trust and rely on my intuition.
Speaker 1: And it's not perfect, because no human's perfect, but it's
Speaker 1: better than anything else, and it's really good. And so
Speaker 1: I just have this overpowering feeling that this pope is
Speaker 1: going to be one of the superstar popes, you know,
Speaker 1: the John Paul the Great kind of popes, and they'll
Speaker 1: only be one John Paul the Great. But I think
Speaker 1: this pope, I think he's going to be. I think
Speaker 1: he's going to be a courageous, energetic, plane spoken bridge peacemaker.
Speaker 1: I think he's perfectly positioned to as my uncle said,
Speaker 1: father Roger capitalist priest for sixty seven years in Chicago,
Speaker 1: still doing multiple masses a week. He joined us at
Speaker 1: four twenty. You can him off the pod. This is
Speaker 1: kind of a perfect pope to serve as a bridge
Speaker 1: between different factions while at the same time not being
Speaker 1: milk toast. And yeah, I think there are great things
Speaker 1: that had there. And even if you don't have any faith,
Speaker 1: no matter of different faith, the world is still greatly
Speaker 1: affected by a great pope, and I think we got
Speaker 1: one here, Dan and Arvada. You're on the dan kaplosh'll welcome.
Speaker 2: Hey, Dan, I really enjoy listening to you debate people
Speaker 2: that have different facts than yours. Oh, the last color Warren,
Speaker 2: the last color Warren. Absolutely when you flate him on
Speaker 2: the facts, then he diverted and deflected to the Mexico border.
Speaker 2: Why didn't you Why didn't Ukraine or Russia invade Ukraine
Speaker 2: during Trump You pretty much didn't have an answer, and
Speaker 2: it was just hilarious to listen to him.
Speaker 1: Oh, let's talk about Mexico now. And you know the
Speaker 1: thing about Warrantine just a quick note, because he's called before.
Speaker 1: There's no doubt in my mind about ther masarity of
Speaker 1: his belief and he just really believes that that Russia
Speaker 1: had a right to be concerned about Ukraine. And I
Speaker 1: will just always come back to the point that that
Speaker 1: that doesn't justify rape and pillage, it doesn't justify the invasion.
Speaker 1: And listen, I'm sure trying. And I don't fault. I
Speaker 1: don't fault to Russian people. I just think Vladimir Putin
Speaker 1: is one of the most evil men to ever live.
Speaker 2: You're right, You're right, have a good weekend.
Speaker 1: Hey you two man, thank you, have a great Mother's
Speaker 1: Day weekend. And best advice for mom. I just want
Speaker 1: to throw one out there to sort of get it going.
Speaker 1: There's so much good advice, but to me, I'll just
Speaker 1: start kind of with the clock, right, just like when
Speaker 1: the first thing woke up in the morning. She would
Speaker 1: always say, first thing, when you wake up in the morning,
Speaker 1: think of the five things you're eight full four and
Speaker 1: the five things you're looking for to that day. And
Speaker 1: that was just such a tremendous habit to get into, right,
Speaker 1: because it's you know people. It didn't Lincoln say, Ryan,
Speaker 1: you're up on all this dead president's stuff. Didn't Lincoln
Speaker 1: say that people are as happy as they decide to be.
Speaker 1: So it's what you And this is a Tony Robbins
Speaker 1: thing now, right, He's made his bones on this. What
Speaker 1: are you going to focus on? Like right now, Ryan
Speaker 1: Schuling could probably think of five things to focus on
Speaker 1: to make them happy or no matter how well your
Speaker 1: day's going, five things you could focus on to make
Speaker 1: you sad. Yeah, Well, and you've got Alexa, so that's yeah,
Speaker 1: not that you wouldn't be happy with Kelly.
Speaker 3: Right, but Alex is a nice bonus. Yeah, well Kelly
Speaker 3: can't make it.
Speaker 1: But but yeah, so I just think that was great
Speaker 1: advice from my mom. Absolutely.
Speaker 3: My mom was more kind of practical, street smart type stuff,
Speaker 3: and she was great at.
Speaker 1: It, like hit him in the Adams Eppo, not like.
Speaker 3: On the streets. I mean she was from River Rouge.
Speaker 3: I wasn't tough down over Detroit. But one of the
Speaker 3: ones that I've used in my life and it's worked
Speaker 3: almost every time, is you go into a car dealership
Speaker 3: and they're trying to sell you a car, and they
Speaker 3: give you a price, walk out, just leave, just leave,
Speaker 3: and milk call back his darn toot. And she was
Speaker 3: absolutely right, Oh, we can do something else for you.
Speaker 3: Oh why couldn't you do that when I was there before? Wow,
Speaker 3: that was another day that's impressed. Oh yeah that you know.
Speaker 1: One of the most powerful memories of my mom is
Speaker 1: we're at seventy six oh five South Aberdeen, heart of
Speaker 1: the South Side of Chicago. The neighborhood is is it's changing,
Speaker 1: it's changing racially, and there's a lot of racial tension,
Speaker 1: and we're just a summer night we're all out in
Speaker 1: front of my dad's working swings, so he's not there,
Speaker 1: all the kids playing out in front, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, bang bang bang bang bang, and they're
Speaker 1: just bullets slamming off the house and my mom just
Speaker 1: as calm as she could be. Okay, kids, time to
Speaker 1: go in, and just it just kind of hurts us
Speaker 1: into the house, bang in, big big bang, and he's
Speaker 1: just incredibly calm. And yeah, she was just amazing. And
Speaker 1: that's why you hear it. My uncle when he joined
Speaker 1: us at four twenty. Just the strengths, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Just the strength that I'm not saying Chicago's
Speaker 1: the only place you have strong people, but just growing
Speaker 1: up there and my uncle a priests there for sixty
Speaker 1: seven years. The weather will make you strong if nothing else.
Speaker 1: You guys, spend any time in Chicago, Oh yeah, lots
Speaker 1: of time. When I came out here, it took me
Speaker 1: like an hour to say, literally, thank you God, I
Speaker 1: have gone to heaven. When you come out here and
Speaker 1: you got the weather and you got the beauty, who
Speaker 1: would ever come here and leave? Eh? It's a good question.
Speaker 3: And what I was wondering too, and listening to your
Speaker 3: phenomenal uncle. Again that he is ninety three. There are
Speaker 3: listeners that are texting in that still don't believe that either.
Speaker 3: Oh man, But just what his relationship was like with
Speaker 3: your father?
Speaker 1: They were brothers, right, oh yeah, yeah, yeah? Yeah? Were
Speaker 1: they close? Oh yeah? But competitive in the sense that
Speaker 1: I mean my dad was a star athlete. He played
Speaker 1: it to Paul under ray Meyer. I mean he played
Speaker 1: big time college basketball and went to Leo and was
Speaker 1: a star there. And father Raj was a super star priest.
Speaker 1: I mean, like he was before this became a thing. Man,
Speaker 1: he was the CBS commentator. So I can't remember which pope,
Speaker 1: but he was one of the first priest to ever
Speaker 1: be on TV doing color commentary for religious stuff. Wow. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: he was super star priest and he still is. They
Speaker 1: still pack the church for him. He's incredible. And you
Speaker 1: know what the you know one thing he does great,
Speaker 1: I mean the homilyes thing seven minutes, but it's brilliant.
Speaker 1: It's one point tells a joke gets out of there,
Speaker 1: but he gives people an important message.
Speaker 3: Less is more and brevity is the soul of wit.
Speaker 1: Well, there's no question about it. It's the danger of diffusion. Right,
Speaker 1: you got a good point to make. Rian's very good
Speaker 1: at this in a show. He does a great show
Speaker 1: two to four in the Denver market each day. But
Speaker 1: you got a great point to make. Make the darn
Speaker 1: point and get out of there. Don't don't diffuse the
Speaker 1: value of the point, making three or four other points
Speaker 1: the way I do. You know, Just just make your
Speaker 1: good point, get out of there. It's uh, yeah, he's
Speaker 1: very good at that as a priest, and he was
Speaker 1: great at our wedding. He was great at our wedding too.
Speaker 1: It was very very privileged that he was there. And
Speaker 1: Cardinal Stafford then an archbishop, and man, I'm going to
Speaker 1: get Thierry here with all these great memories three or
Speaker 1: three someone three eight two five five text d A
Speaker 1: N five seven seven three nine. I really want to
Speaker 1: get start getting some of those best advice your mom
Speaker 1: ever gave you. Alexa just gave us one. Be brilliant,
Speaker 1: be brief, be gone. And what context was that offered
Speaker 1: when you're speaking speaking to the c suite of executives. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you just say what you need to say. Yeah, make
Speaker 1: a brilliant point, keep it short and leave.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: That is such a great point. It's like a priest
Speaker 1: when I was in the seminary told me, which is
Speaker 1: always leave him wanting more. I thought it was a
Speaker 1: great point. It might be some situations that doesn't apply to,
Speaker 1: but it applies to almost every Maybe it applies to everything. Dan,
Speaker 1: my mom used to say, be careful what you wish for.
Speaker 1: There's some truth in that, I guess, depending on what
Speaker 1: you're wishing for. So, hey, we want to come back,
Speaker 1: and we'll continue with hot sound. I do promise I
Speaker 1: spaced it. I'll deliver when we come back, the single
Speaker 1: greatest nine to one one call you've ever heard. I
Speaker 1: don't think anybody will disagree with that once they hear it.
Speaker 1: It's going to introduce a new phrase into pop culture.
Speaker 1: And then we'll just do a whole bunch of best
Speaker 1: advice your mother ever gave you. Three or three someone
Speaker 1: three eight two five five text d A N five
Speaker 1: seven seven three nine And now back to the Dan
Speaker 1: Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 4: A man should not play sports against women. I'm not
Speaker 4: going to get into all the book that's going on
Speaker 4: out here in the world today. If anybody think that,
Speaker 4: I think they're stupid. I'm not, like I said, I
Speaker 4: support the gay community one hundred percent. I support the
Speaker 4: transgender community one hundred percent. But I do, not, under
Speaker 4: any circumstances on zero think that men should play sports
Speaker 4: against women. And if anybody have a problem with that,
Speaker 4: they're gonna have to get over it, because I'm not
Speaker 4: going to change my I'm not going to change I
Speaker 4: just think is wrong period.
Speaker 1: How can anybody argue with that? Right? And I sure
Speaker 1: hope whoever the GOP nominee is for governor in Colorado,
Speaker 1: for Senator in Colorado, they better pound that issue home
Speaker 1: and because it's a great way of exposing their opponent
Speaker 1: and who their opponent really is. Simple, Okay, should men
Speaker 1: play women's sports? Should boys play girl sports? Should boys
Speaker 1: be in girls' locker rooms? Should boys be in girls showers?
Speaker 1: I mean, just expose the opponent that way, right, because
Speaker 1: this is one hundred to zero issue when just thinking
Speaker 1: about right and wrong. But the Democrat candidates won't be
Speaker 1: able to break from the insane position that the Democratic
Speaker 1: parties committed to. So I sure hope, I sure hope
Speaker 1: that has hit very.
Speaker 3: Hard even the way Charles said it. Though Dan I
Speaker 3: mentioned this on my program earlier because I was sitting
Speaker 3: there listening to him, and I agree. But the pro
Speaker 3: trans women in Women's Spaces and sports movement would say,
Speaker 3: of course Charles is right, men shouldn't, but trans women
Speaker 3: are women and they should be allowed to participate in
Speaker 3: the sports and enter the spaces and change in the
Speaker 3: locker rooms where women are because that's how identify they
Speaker 3: identify and their women.
Speaker 1: Is there one person on the face of the other
Speaker 1: stupid enough to believe that. I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people believe that. Oh they don't. I mean to look
Speaker 1: at the overwhelming success of the Trump ady. Why do
Speaker 1: you think they spend one hundred and eighty million dollars
Speaker 1: on it? Right? I mean, why would they have? That
Speaker 1: was the most effective political ad in our lifetimes?
Speaker 3: Granted, Dan, why did thirteen twelve just pass the Colorado
Speaker 3: General Assembly?
Speaker 1: Because the General Assembly doesn't give a darn what the
Speaker 1: people of Colorado think or want. I'm being literal here.
Speaker 1: They don't Ryan, right, they think they're politically bulletproof, then
Speaker 1: why do they do it though?
Speaker 3: I mean, just to flaunt that fact that we're politically
Speaker 3: bullet for so we'll do the craziest blank ever and
Speaker 3: get away with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Because all the big money in the Democratic Party now,
Speaker 1: and a lot of it's national money, but also some
Speaker 1: Colorado money is on the hardcore radical secular left. That's
Speaker 1: where the big money's coming from. So the attitude of
Speaker 1: Colorado Democrats is that if you win the primary, you're
Speaker 1: going to win the race, and the money to win
Speaker 1: the primary is going to come from these hardcore radical
Speaker 1: secular leftists, most of them national, and so that's why
Speaker 1: they're doing all this insane stuff. And look at Mike Johnston.
Speaker 1: He used to be saying he used to so we
Speaker 1: disagreed about plenty of things, but he used to be saying,
Speaker 1: he'd come on the show all the time, we'd have
Speaker 1: these conversations. And now look at the guy. You can't
Speaker 1: even recognize him intellectually. I mean, his hair still realize,
Speaker 1: and he's got that going for him, but you can't
Speaker 1: even recognize him just all this insane, crazy stuff. Doesn't
Speaker 1: he start speeches now saying he could be talking about
Speaker 1: four people just had their heads cut off on the mall,
Speaker 1: and he'll start the speech with I stand here recognizing
Speaker 1: we're on hollow ground that at one point was owned
Speaker 1: by the Eskimos. I mean that's what he does.
Speaker 3: I just couldn't believe. Maybe I should have believed it, Dan,
Speaker 3: But to your point, when he held that mini press
Speaker 3: conference on the sixteenth Street mall after the flight attendant
Speaker 3: woman had been stabbed, lord death and he was talking
Speaker 3: about fat.
Speaker 1: Lap oh, he was doing a victory lap just yards
Speaker 1: from where she almost hit her hut head cut off.
Speaker 1: Unreal but in all fairness, the greatest performance ever by
Speaker 1: a signer, right, remember that, because because Johnston rolled out
Speaker 1: the signer who could sign for deaf people. And then
Speaker 1: when a heckler came by walking down the mall calling
Speaker 1: Johnston every name in the book, much of it very accurate,
Speaker 1: the signer, God love him, he just signed all that
Speaker 1: he made, the face he made the faces, he signed
Speaker 1: the names. And I never even knew you could sign
Speaker 1: some of those swear words. But hey, I promised this,
Speaker 1: and you can imagine what those signs look like. But
Speaker 1: this is the greatest nine to one one call you
Speaker 1: will ever hear. And then we're doing the best advice
Speaker 1: your mother ever gave you. Text at DA N five
Speaker 1: seven seventy three nine er call, greatest nine to one
Speaker 1: one call ever. This nine one one call raise some eyebrows. Nine,
Speaker 1: what's your emergency?
Speaker 3: Yeah, my wat got attacked by a warthog.
Speaker 2: Real bad and I need someone to come up with
Speaker 2: ambulance and pick her up.
Speaker 1: Okay, sir, can you give me your draft?
Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah, we're at one eight two five eucalyptus drive.
Speaker 5: Okay, could you spell that for me?
Speaker 1: Sir?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna drag her on over to Oak Street and
Speaker 2: you can.
Speaker 5: Pick her up there.
Speaker 1: That's that's gonna become the new response anytime anybody doesn't
Speaker 1: know the answer to something. I don't fault him. I
Speaker 1: couldn't spell that word, but yeah, I'll just drag her
Speaker 1: over to Oak Oak minutes and the wardhog thing. I
Speaker 1: think that's a pretty rare injury. Yeah out, Yeah, best
Speaker 1: advice my mom. Here's one best advice my mom ever
Speaker 1: gave me. Girl, Once you start having children, you better
Speaker 1: eat while you're cooking because that's the last hot meal
Speaker 1: you'll ever have. That's good practical advice. He got it
Speaker 1: like that, Dan, My mom always told me never worry
Speaker 1: about things you can't control. That's pretty darn good advice too,
Speaker 1: So yeah, I want to hear from me on that. Plus,
Speaker 1: you can call us the old fashioned waight three oh
Speaker 1: three someone three eight two five five the number amazing.
Speaker 1: I just saw yeah, because when my uncle was on,
Speaker 1: Father Roger Caplis, he was on to talk about the
Speaker 1: new Pope because father Ogi's been a priest in Chicago
Speaker 1: sixty seven years. He made a comment about, yeah, you
Speaker 1: know that there's about the Pope being at the Socks game.
Speaker 1: And during the break, I was watching Ryan What are
Speaker 1: the odds? Game? One of that two thousand and five
Speaker 1: World Series Socks Astros. They do one of those crowd
Speaker 1: cuts and they zero in on him and he wasn't
Speaker 1: in a collar or anything. He was just in the
Speaker 1: stands watching the game. What are the odds they would
Speaker 1: zero in on him? That's great. So I think that
Speaker 1: answers the question. He is a Socks fan, but virtually
Speaker 1: every Southsider is right.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, they're honest about it. But you know, it's
Speaker 3: really hard to be a white Sox fan these days.
Speaker 3: The only team worse than them is the Rockies.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But the funny thing for us was because my dad,
Speaker 1: we were Southsiders, I mean literal Southsiders, and then Southwest
Speaker 1: went aside. When my dad he was working swings right.
Speaker 1: So he was working four to twelve for Chicago Police,
Speaker 1: so he would take us to Wrigley Field in the
Speaker 1: morning because Socks played at night, Cubs played during the day,
Speaker 1: so he'd come home from work about midnight, get up early,
Speaker 1: take us down there. In the summer, we'd get in
Speaker 1: line about seven in the morning for bleacher seats, first come,
Speaker 1: first serve, and then they'd open the gates. We'd all
Speaker 1: scramble down so we could sit in the row. And
Speaker 1: so we really became Cubs fans. We went to both parks,
Speaker 1: but just because of his work schedule. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't think there was ever a doubt the Pope was
Speaker 1: a Socks fan. He just being on the South Side. Hey,
Speaker 1: I want to hear the best advice your mother ever
Speaker 1: gave you. Three or three someone three eight two five
Speaker 1: five text d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. Other's day
Speaker 1: three or three someone three eight two five five The
Speaker 1: number of text d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 1: The danger on the show is that just want to
Speaker 1: talk about my mom, right, because I'm sure it's the
Speaker 1: same with you, and my mom's been in heaven for
Speaker 1: quite a while now two thousand and one. But but
Speaker 1: but it's like it happened yesterday, right, I mean, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure you have the same bright pictures in your
Speaker 1: mind and you can hear these words ringing and yeah,
Speaker 1: what a gift. I can't even imagine, my friend. And
Speaker 1: it is heartbreaking me to think of folks out there
Speaker 1: who lost their mom or for whatever reason, didn't have
Speaker 1: their mom and because truly, I cannot even imagine where
Speaker 1: I'd be or what I'd be if I didn't have that.
Speaker 1: So for folks who didn't have it, you know, I
Speaker 1: just admire the heck out of them for anything they accomplished,
Speaker 1: because without her, I mean, and I add to you know,
Speaker 1: it's just a double lottery win with my two parents.
Speaker 1: Three or three someone three eight two five five takes
Speaker 1: d a N five seven seven three nine do. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know that this fits the Mother's Day theme.
Speaker 1: But Rodney Dangerfield on a Friday, tough to beat.
Speaker 5: I tell you, I'm all right now. Well, last week
Speaker 5: go was our rough shape. You know. Last week I
Speaker 5: told my wife, you need a home improvement loan. She
Speaker 5: had me one thousand dollars to move out I'll tell
Speaker 5: you my wife, there's always something you know. Well, the
Speaker 5: other day I called her up. I said to well, honey,
Speaker 5: I've been think about last time we had sex. I'm
Speaker 5: getting excited. She said, who is this. I'll tell you,
Speaker 5: my wife. You never went for me. But the first
Speaker 5: time I called her up, she told me kim ono.
Speaker 5: But there's nobody at home.
Speaker 1: I went over.
Speaker 5: There was nobody at home. My wife. She drives me nuts.
Speaker 5: She was afraid of the dog she saw me naked.
Speaker 5: Now she's afraid of the light. I'll tell you that's
Speaker 5: all I felt.
Speaker 1: Is there like Robney Dangerfield equivalent right now? I'm I
Speaker 1: mean he thinks of him.
Speaker 3: No, he's one of the games, the original, the one
Speaker 3: liner guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, I.
Speaker 5: Say, Actually, I shouldn't tell jokes about my wife. I
Speaker 5: mean she's attached to a machine that keeps her alive,
Speaker 5: the refrigerator. I'm gonna tell you my wife. She can't
Speaker 5: cook either. My house, you pray after we eat. I
Speaker 5: bought a pressure cooker. Now I eat off the ceiling
Speaker 5: allows he cook. I don't think meat loaf should glow
Speaker 5: on a dog.
Speaker 1: I mean she can't cook it all.
Speaker 5: She made chocolate moose and that I got stuck on
Speaker 5: my throat.
Speaker 1: Oh man, yeah, three and three someone three eight, two, five,
Speaker 1: five takes d D five seven, seventh or nine. I
Speaker 1: can't relate to that, right, I mean I just and
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about that as he was playing.
Speaker 1: I mean, how incredibly lucky I him because the two
Speaker 1: big women and my wife, right, I have three. I
Speaker 1: have my mom perfect, my wife perfect, my daughter perfect.
Speaker 1: That's that's a big deal. Can you imagine being married
Speaker 1: to the wrong person?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: Can you imagine what you had to be?
Speaker 3: Like? You cannot, but you can not trifecta like you said,
Speaker 3: three different generations?
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, your your wife, your daughter both h three
Speaker 1: to three. But but I mean, truly, can you imagine
Speaker 1: being married to the wrong person? It would be a nightmare.
Speaker 1: I mean kind of like that.
Speaker 3: Being well, Rodney Dangerfield just talked about it, but he
Speaker 3: was just joking around.
Speaker 1: Was he even married? Because Rodney Dangerfield story, did I
Speaker 1: tell you?
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, he's I'll tell the listener he was married.
Speaker 1: I think he was a few times. Man, it wasn't
Speaker 1: that night, No, yeah, maybe not. No, I was I
Speaker 1: was going out on a cheta case in California, December
Speaker 1: twenty seventh, and it was brutal weather out of Chicago,
Speaker 1: and I'd been back to see family, so I get stuck.
Speaker 1: They got in Vegas, and I'm checking into the Tropicana
Speaker 1: at like three in the morning, and then I've got
Speaker 1: an early morning flight to my meeting in LA and
Speaker 1: I round a corner in the trap and there's Rodney Dangerfield,
Speaker 1: And honest to goodness, he's doing the thing with his tie,
Speaker 1: you know where, he's shaking it around and he's hitting
Speaker 1: on a cocktail waitress. Just this is Surrey. How about this?
Speaker 3: For those details, He was married twice, but married to
Speaker 3: his first wife two different times, Joyce Indig. He was
Speaker 3: married in nineteen fifty one to this Joyce, divorce in
Speaker 3: sixty one, remarried her in sixty three, two years later,
Speaker 3: divorce a second time nineteen seventy, and then married a
Speaker 3: woman named Joan Child in nineteen ninety three ninety.
Speaker 1: Three, Dan, So what year did you encounter him? You
Speaker 1: remember for a second, Oh, I should be able to
Speaker 1: remember this, yes, roughly, thing for a second, Just need
Speaker 1: a second on that. No, late eighties, but then he
Speaker 1: was a swinging single guy that late eighties Okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: well yeah he was that night. Good for him. But truly,
Speaker 1: I mean, I've just I've got to sit here and
Speaker 1: extend my sympathies to anybody man or woman in a
Speaker 1: bad marriage, because I cannot even imagine what that would
Speaker 1: be like. And I say this just from a very
Speaker 1: positive place. I mean, we're going on thirty one years
Speaker 1: of tremendous marriage, and wow, how do we get off
Speaker 1: on that? We start talking about Mother's Day and others? Yeah, right, right,
Speaker 1: and how fortunate I was to have such a great
Speaker 1: mom and see, yeah, give us the best advice your
Speaker 1: mother ever gave you. I've I've got a bunch more
Speaker 1: where all that came from. But well, we've been talking
Speaker 1: a lot about the New Pope. I hope if you
Speaker 1: get a chance to hear the podcast. My uncle father, Roger,
Speaker 1: capitalist Catholic priests from Chicago, was with us in the
Speaker 1: four to twenty segment, and he's been a priest sixty
Speaker 1: seven years. Back there and getting his perspective on the
Speaker 1: new Pope was a lot of fun. But my quick
Speaker 1: take is, you know, yesterday tremendous positivity. Everything I learned
Speaker 1: overnight even more positive today. So whether you believe in
Speaker 1: God or not, whether you're Christian, Catholic, whatever. A really
Speaker 1: good pope is really good for the world. And boy,
Speaker 1: I think we've got one right here, and a bridge builder,
Speaker 1: because you can have right Ryan, you can have bridge
Speaker 1: builders who are just kind of milk toast and that
Speaker 1: sort of thing. They just don't offend anybody. I don't
Speaker 1: think he's going to be one of those. I think
Speaker 1: he's going to be high energy, plane spoken, but still
Speaker 1: able to build bridges in lots of different ways for
Speaker 1: lots of different reasons. So I think there are great
Speaker 1: things that head there. Boys. Some more best advice your
Speaker 1: mama ever gave you. Some of these are a little
Speaker 1: too long. What's yours? Alexa? Alexa? For Kelly today? I
Speaker 1: think it was when people show you who they are believe. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember vividly. For some reason, guys, my mom telling me,
Speaker 1: don't do anything for the approval of others. Just don't
Speaker 1: depend on the approval of others for your happiness. Do
Speaker 1: the right thing, right, Just don't depend on the approval
Speaker 1: of others for your happiness. I just yeah, for some reason,
Speaker 1: that one really sticks out to me, and it's very true, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you look at all the people who
Speaker 1: end up just doing the wrong thing or doing nothing
Speaker 1: at all just because they're afraid of disapproval. And we're
Speaker 1: all human, right, yeah, we all want everybody to approve
Speaker 1: of what we do. But if you don't have any enemies,
Speaker 1: you're kind of a waste of space, aren't you.
Speaker 3: Well, And if you live your life to your mom's
Speaker 3: point trying to please others, you're never going to please everybody.
Speaker 3: So you got to have your own north star and
Speaker 3: follow your true instincts and beliefs and principles, and that'll
Speaker 3: be good enough for a lot of people, and maybe
Speaker 3: some others it's not. But you got to live according
Speaker 3: to your values. And I think that was kind of
Speaker 3: a shorter way her way of saying that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, other great advice, And I'm sure everybody,
Speaker 1: I'm sure is thinking of a million different things their
Speaker 1: mom told them that was great, But for some reason
Speaker 1: these stick out to me. I remember when I was
Speaker 1: a little kid, she said, you know, just just treat
Speaker 1: Jesus as one of your buddies, Like, just treat them
Speaker 1: as like one of your buddies. You're out playing in
Speaker 1: the alley with and I just always remember that, and
Speaker 1: I thought it was great advice, right because it's just
Speaker 1: a I think it's a great way to just bring
Speaker 1: it home what it's, what's real, and what it's supposed
Speaker 1: to be. So yeah, three someone three eight two five
Speaker 1: five the number text d A N five seven seven
Speaker 1: three nine. I hope I have time for this, because
Speaker 1: I could sit here and play this all afternoon and
Speaker 1: be a very happy guy. The single best nine to

Speaker 1: I need some time. I'd say the same thing. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna drive her over to Oak I guess he
Speaker 1: said drag I'd probably say I'll carry her over to
Speaker 1: Oak But yeah, so that's gonna be it from now on.
Speaker 1: Anytime anybody asked me a question, I don't know the
Speaker 1: answer to it. I'm just gonna drag her oak three three, seveone,
Speaker 1: three eight, two, five five give it to us the
Speaker 1: best advice your mother ever gave you. You're on the
Speaker 1: Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 3: And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 5: I'm a little concerned about this choice for the LGBTQ
Speaker 5: plus community.
Speaker 1: In twenty twelve, he gave an address to bishops and
Speaker 1: talking about the new pope. Why would you be concerned
Speaker 1: for the LGBTQ plus community. Why would that concern you?
Speaker 1: Because listen, this is a pope who is going to
Speaker 1: speak the truth to all of us about where we
Speaker 1: are falling short of church teaching. Should he hold back
Speaker 1: for any of us? And if so, why see that
Speaker 1: that's just a thinking of the world. And what I
Speaker 1: think Sonny Hosten doesn't get is that that pope a
Speaker 1: Catholic priest. Catholics in general, we're all mail men and
Speaker 1: male women. We're postal carriers. We can't change the content
Speaker 1: of the male We're just supposed to carry it. So
Speaker 1: she wants this pope, then to decide. Okay, No, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to speak the truth about church teaching to
Speaker 1: Dan because I don't want to offend him where he's
Speaker 1: falling short or to the LGBTQ plus community. No, that's
Speaker 1: that's just kind of worldly thinking. Three or three seven
Speaker 1: three A two five five the number text d An
Speaker 1: five seven seven th nine. One of our favorite segments.
Speaker 1: We talk about best advice your mama ever gave you,
Speaker 1: Timothy from Beautiful Cheyenne. You're on the Dan Kaplis Show. Welcome.
Speaker 6: Oh, thank you, Dan, I appreciate it. He listened to
Speaker 6: this real quick story about my mom and I grew
Speaker 6: up Catholic. When I was in high school, I started
Speaker 6: hanging out with some guy as they smoked, so I
Speaker 6: started smoking. Mom asked me about the smell of my
Speaker 6: clothes and I denied it, you know that kind of thing.
Speaker 6: Then I came clean and said, yeah, mom, but I'm
Speaker 6: trying to quick and she said, you remember, Timothy, tell
Speaker 6: me who your friends are, and I'll tell you what
Speaker 6: you are.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 6: If you're a smoker, if you hang out with smoker friends, good,
Speaker 6: you're a smoker. If you're hang out with people that drink,
Speaker 6: you're a drinker and so on, So that really stuck
Speaker 6: with me.
Speaker 1: That is so good man, Thank you, Timothy. You were
Speaker 1: lucky to have a mom that great.
Speaker 5: Ryan.
Speaker 1: I remember coming home from remember coming home from where
Speaker 1: I think I was a college freshman and I was
Speaker 1: an Evans Scholar, and so we were working the Western
Speaker 1: Open out at Butler and during the summer, and so
Speaker 1: because that tournament benefited the Evan Scholar Foundation, golf caddies
Speaker 1: sink at the movie Caddyshack, and so i'm I go home.
Speaker 1: I'd had a couple of like, do you remember paps?
Speaker 1: Do you ever drink paps? Sure? Okay? Packs? Blue ribbon, yeah,
Speaker 1: kind of like hams from the Land of Sky Blue Waters.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I'd had a couple and not a big drinker,
Speaker 1: never was. But I came home and I couldn't stop
Speaker 1: laughing because my mom was trying to find out if
Speaker 1: I'd been drinking. Couldn't stop laughing, And then I remember
Speaker 1: her yelling at me, I did not raise my son
Speaker 1: to be a beer drinking giggler. And that just stuck
Speaker 1: in my mind for my whole life. I didn't raise
Speaker 1: my son to be a beer drinking giggler. But it's
Speaker 1: better or worse than a giggling beer.
Speaker 3: Drinker, a beer drinking giggle.
Speaker 1: That's a beer drinking giggler. And you can imagine I
Speaker 1: stopped giggling right then I would laughed. I did. A
Speaker 1: dead man would have giggled at that, but which did
Speaker 1: not help my plight at that point. Sure did not.
Speaker 1: But that's what great moms do, right, I mean, they
Speaker 1: they just they want to keep you on the straight
Speaker 1: and narrow. I don't know how many times she said
Speaker 1: to me, you're better than that, you're a capitalist. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you heard the same thing. Probably everybody has. Right,
Speaker 1: you're better than that, you're a shooling. She wasn't all
Speaker 1: about the last name. But yeah, you're better than that,
Speaker 1: you better be. You'm going to hear it from her, yeah, yeah, yeah, no.
Speaker 1: But she was a fighter, man. I remember I got
Speaker 1: falsely accused in fifth or sixth grade and taken to
Speaker 1: the convent and had to stay in the convent all day.
Speaker 1: In fact, I got tied up. Somebody had written Michelle
Speaker 1: Hanrahan as a Michelle is a sex pot on Michelle
Speaker 1: Hanrahan's book cover Scandalous. Fifth grade, so I got I
Speaker 1: was falsely accused, and then I got tied up. I
Speaker 1: got tied to a chair in the front of the classroom, blindfolded.
Speaker 1: Made a tactical error because when Michelle came walking by,
Speaker 1: I grabbed a pen and jabbed during the leg. So anyway,
Speaker 1: I get taken to the convent, and I'm to stay
Speaker 1: in the convent, and they called up my mom, and
Speaker 1: I'll never forget. She comes up into the convent. She said, Dan,
Speaker 1: did you do it? Talking about writing that thing about
Speaker 1: Michelle being a sexpot. We didn't get into the staff, Dan,
Speaker 1: did you do that? I said, no, I did not.
Speaker 1: I remember looking sister right in the eye and saying,
Speaker 1: my son would not lie. My son didn't do that.
Speaker 1: I'm taking him home. And so I've always appreciated her
Speaker 1: standing up for me because I did not do it.
Speaker 1: I did not do it. I don't blame sister. She
Speaker 1: had every reason to suspect I would have. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so all of us who had great moms couldn't be
Speaker 1: more grateful for it. And yeah, we'll have to get
Speaker 1: to some more of this advice in the next show.
Speaker 1: Here's a great one best advice my mom gave me
Speaker 1: at the end of your life. You will regret the
Speaker 1: things you did not do, not the things you did.
Speaker 1: What is the one thing Ryan? I mean, because none
Speaker 1: of us want to die with what ifs? Right? What
Speaker 1: is the one thing you want to make sure you
Speaker 1: do before you meet your maker? Wow? Travel internationally.
Speaker 3: I've only been in North America in my life.
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say world peace. I
Speaker 1: want to go to Ireland. You're at your home country.
Speaker 1: Oh you would enjoy that and they would enjoy you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think they would. I hope they would. That would
Speaker 1: be a good time, Alexai. Thanks for filling in today.
