Now they've handed the reins over to 66 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.319 Hakeem Jeffries, who's just basically dropped them on the ground 67 00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:28.039 and is just stepping on them.

Christian Toto is gonna Happy, is 70 00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:39.120 gonna join us at two thirty, because right before the 71 00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:41.400 show started, I saw a column of his and I'm 72 00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:44.039 gonna add to the blog about what Howard Stern did 73 00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.400 this morning, and I want to We're gonna get to 74 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:48.000 the Broncos game for just a moment. I know there 75 00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:49.439 are those of you in the audience who are like, this. 76 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:51.080 Isn't a spots show. 77 00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:57.680 Why are you talking about spots Because during football season, 78 00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:01.080 there's no bigger story in Denver than the Broncos just 79 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:01.639 the way it is. 80 00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:04.199 So this morning, Howard Stern. 81 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:07.039 It's been widely reported, It's been all over the news. 82 00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.240 It's like, oh, we're going to get an update on 83 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:13.840 September eighth from Howard Stern about his career y Serious Now, 84 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:17.680 Howard Stern has had some wildly lucrative deals with Sirious 85 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:22.759 since he jumped ship to leave to restaural Radio to 86 00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.399 go to satellite radio. And when he first came over 87 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.560 it made a lot of sense for Serious because leaving 88 00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:33.160 terrestural Radio, he was really at the height of his 89 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:36.759 popularity at that moment, and he brought a lot of 90 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:38.879 subscribers with him a whole bunch. 91 00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:44.240 But now serious is seeing really. 92 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:48.319 Big competition from Spotify, from iHeart, from other fleet free 93 00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:52.399 platforms that have podcasts on them. So people are now, 94 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:54.040 why am I going to pay for that when I 95 00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:55.720 can get it for free kind of thing, even though 96 00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:57.639 they can't get Howard. There's just a lot more competition 97 00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.319 in the industry. So this morning I get up and 98 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.639 the first headline I see, very first headline of the 99 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:08.079 day I see, is this one. Howard Stern walks away 100 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:10.360 from SiriusXM after two decades. 101 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:12.399 Y'all right? 102 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:16.759 Next to it, this headline, Howard Stern returns to Sirius 103 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.319 XM radio show after trolling listeners. Let me fix that 104 00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:23.800 headline for you. Howard Stern returns to Sirius XM radio 105 00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:25.639 show after trolling the news media. 106 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.279 Because that's what happened, because if you google. 107 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:34.560 Howard Stern leaves Sirius XM, you will see dozens of 108 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:37.800 news stories written by reporters who wanted to be first. 109 00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:41.439 And what Howard Stern did this morning, I gotta say, 110 00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.160 as an old radio pro myself, hats off Howard thing 111 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.839 being although I would have known immediately that this was 112 00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:49.879 a gag, so he got. 113 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.360 Andy Cohen of Bravo Fame to. 114 00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:59.360 Pretend that he was taking over Howard's show and Howard's timeslot, 115 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:02.879 and Andy apparently did a great job talking about how 116 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.120 the handoff should have been smoother, YadA, YadA, YadA. 117 00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:07.680 But then Howard came on and was like mean or Nina, 118 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:08.439 I'm still here. 119 00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:14.160 But Christian Toto is not buying, not buying what Howard 120 00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:17.360 Stern is selling, and he wrote a pretty scathing column 121 00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.240 about it. We'll talk to him this afternoon at two thirty. 122 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:22.839 But I gotta tell you this is so on brand 123 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:25.959 for Howard Stern, it's not even funny. But the reality 124 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.000 is is that the radio that I started in back 125 00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:31.720 in nineteen ninety seven, right, That's how long I've been 126 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:35.639 at this game. It's it's such a different industry now 127 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:39.519 that it was before for many many people. And the 128 00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.399 big deals five hundred million dollars from series, There's no 129 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:45.199 way Howard Stern got that kind of money. So my 130 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:48.879 guess is he took a considerable pay cut. So we'll 131 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:50.680 talk to a Christian about that at two thirty. But 132 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:55.959 can we talk about yesterday's Broncos game? Yike's Anthony, Yikes. 133 00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:56.879 I'm sorry. Did they lose? 134 00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.240 Wait, no, they won, They got the W. 135 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.279 But we have to talk about the obvious issues that 136 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.079 the Broncos have, the main one being the offense. 137 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:09.920 Before you a couple of teams for you. The Baltimore 138 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:14.360 Ravens can't say Chiefs. Yeah, the Detroit Lions. Those are 139 00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:15.480 some really good teams. 140 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:16.800 Yeah, I'm not. 141 00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:20.959 I'm not saying that good teams didn't lose yesterday and 142 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:23.720 that the Broncos won. The Broncos did win, But here's 143 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:25.839 why I'm glad it happened like it did. The offense 144 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:29.959 was to say, anemic is downplaying what the word anemic 145 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:30.480 is all about. 146 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:36.759 Yeah, terrible. Yeah, but the defense was just lights out. 147 00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:37.399 Thank god. 148 00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:42.160 The defense is so good, so good they will be okay, 149 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:44.360 we've at least got that in our camp. We only 150 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:46.879 have to fix one thing, and that's the offense. They 151 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:50.560 will be the best defense in the I think so too. 152 00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:55.000 But that being said, I'm glad yesterday happened like it 153 00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:57.079 happened for two reasons. Number one, and I just said 154 00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:59.519 this to our boss, Brenda Egger. I was like, Brenda, 155 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:02.800 it almost looked to me like Bonnicks has been believing 156 00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:06.639 his own press hundred percent, and he got humbled yesterday 157 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:07.959 in a big way. 158 00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:13.079 I was in a rare camp during camp when we 159 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:15.279 were hearing from Sean Payton, a lot of the players, 160 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:16.519 a lot of the media about. 161 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:19.560 This being a Super Bowl contender. I thought it'd be premature. 162 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:21.279 I did. I still do. 163 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.360 You look at the teams last night they played Ravens 164 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:29.560 and Bills. The Broncos offense has a lot of ground 165 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:32.240 to make up. Having said that, yeah, if they were 166 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:36.480 playing you know, twenty seven other teams, they probably lose. 167 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:38.679 They were grateful to be playing the Tennessee Titans yesterday. 168 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:42.240 But at the same time, Bonnicks said yesterday that he 169 00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:44.559 can dial he had good vision on those interceptions. He 170 00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:47.399 was aggressive because he believed that he essentially that he 171 00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:49.799 could and that he knows he can dial it back 172 00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:51.399 a bit because he doesn't want to put the defense 173 00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:51.960 in bad spots. 174 00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:54.159 So it's not like it was, oh my gosh, he 175 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:55.200 has no idea what he's doing. 176 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:58.039 He's throwing up you know, I know, I know others 177 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.120 are saying that he that you know, oh my gosh, 178 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:01.879 you look terrible. 179 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.080 Division is bad. He was aggressive. He was just aggressive. 180 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.480 It was the perfect thing that could have happened for 181 00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:10.639 two reasons. Number one, we still got the win, right, 182 00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:11.440 we still got the win. 183 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:12.720 We walked out. We're one to zero. 184 00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.960 That's fantastic. But it happened early in the season. So 185 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.960 the reality check, because that's what that was yesterday, that 186 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:22.919 was a reality check, gives the offense opportunities to drill 187 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:25.360 down on the things that they did very badly yesterday 188 00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:28.919 and fix those issues. If it happened at the end 189 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.480 of the season and the playoffs, whatever, that would be terrible. 190 00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.000 This is the best case scenario to have a sobering, 191 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.039 gut check game very beginning of the season, still get 192 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.440 the win, be able to see that your defense is 193 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:44.120 going to be able to pick you up through your mistakes, 194 00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:48.399 which were significant yesterday. I thought overall it was a 195 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:51.799 best case scenario for an offense that just isn't where 196 00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:52.360 it needs to be. 197 00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:55.159 Nine out of ten times you lose when you turn 198 00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.360 the ball over five yes, four yeah time. 199 00:09:58.639 --> 00:09:58.840 Yeah. 200 00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:01.360 You a were able to to correct off of a 201 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.080 win is always one of the best things. 202 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:05.200 Yep. And now you're going to go to Indy with 203 00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:07.559 a colts team that looked pretty dang good yes day 204 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:10.879 with Daniel Jones against that really bad Miami Dolphins team. 205 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.000 But you won the game. That's why I can't watch 206 00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:14.919 The Dolphins are just so bad. By the way. The 207 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.480 worst thing you happen to see that Florida. 208 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:21.360 State won again on Saturday, Anthony, they played a Bob's 209 00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:24.919 Barber College. Yeah no, actually, what did you talk about this? 210 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:27.480 So they played East Texas A and M University, which 211 00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:30.240 I didn't even know was a university. Okay, after scheduling 212 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:32.480 Alabama first, they're like, oh, we'll take it easy. The 213 00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:36.759 second week score was seventy to three. Okay, seventy points 214 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:39.120 to zero in the fourth quarter. But I want to 215 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.480 the reason I want to even bring this up, and 216 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:44.919 it kind of goes a little bit to yesterday's game. 217 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.679 Back in the day, back in the late seventies, when 218 00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:51.799 Bobby Bowden took over the Florida State program, he said 219 00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:53.480 the first thing he did when he took over the 220 00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:57.000 team was called every major powerhouse in the area, every 221 00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:59.720 powerhouse school, and say, look, we want to play you guys, 222 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:02.039 come to a home and home at your place if 223 00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:04.279 we need to. But the only way to get better 224 00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:06.159 is by playing people that are a lot better than 225 00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:08.399 you are. Right, So the first few years were an 226 00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:10.879 absolute disaster for Florida State when he took over, but 227 00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:13.039 they kept getting better, kept getting better, kept getting bigger. 228 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:15.759 And at the beginning, he said, every time before, we 229 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:17.759 were about to go play a team that was so 230 00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:20.519 much better than we were. So we were outmanned, we 231 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:23.159 were out matched, we were out spent on facilities and 232 00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:25.039 everything else. But we had to go play these games. 233 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.360 I would say to my players, you are probably not 234 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:30.559 going to get a victory this week, but you go 235 00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:32.639 out and you play as hard as you can, and 236 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:34.519 you are going to be a better football player by 237 00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:36.840 the end of it. Right, Just playing the game against 238 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:39.039 someone that is far superior to you makes you a 239 00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.519 better player. East Texas A and M University walk down 240 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:44.200 on that field on Saturday, and this is how. 241 00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:44.759 The team looked. 242 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:46.840 Well, we're here to cash a check and get our 243 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:49.759 butts kicked. They were flat, there was no energy, they 244 00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:51.279 had nothing going for them, and that is. 245 00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:52.000 The coach's fault. 246 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.639 Well, and that right there is why, even though I 247 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:57.320 said I didn't believe all the building up of the 248 00:11:57.399 --> 00:11:59.000 hype of being a superral contender in training camp. We 249 00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:01.440 here for the Broncos doesn't mean I disagree with saying it, 250 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:03.279 because if you set the bar, we want to we 251 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.279 want to maybe make it to the second round this year. Well, 252 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:06.279 if you get to the second round, what are you 253 00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:08.960 going to do after that? Set the bar high? If 254 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:10.879 you don't mean it, you got a bar continue to 255 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:12.960 want to get to. But the Broncos should absolutely be 256 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:14.759 thinking they're a super Bowl contending team because if the 257 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:17.600 offense gets to a competent level, yep, and they play 258 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:19.320 with that defense, they are a Superble content. 259 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:20.799 I just want to point out to everybody in this 260 00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.799 listing audience, Trent Dilfer has a Super Bowl ring. He 261 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:28.200 has a ring as a mediocre barely got it done 262 00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:32.720 quarterback because his defense in Baltimore was unbelievable. 263 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:35.919 Mandy will make it more local. Twenty fifteen, Peyton Manning 264 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:39.360 has a Super Bowl ring. Correct because of that defense. Yep, 265 00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:41.039 Peyton was not good that year. 266 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:41.399 People. 267 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:44.799 If the Broncos offense can be competent, even in today's 268 00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:47.000 NFL with offenses like we saw last night in Baltimore 269 00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:49.679 and Buffalo, if the Broncos offense get competent, that is 270 00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:51.320 how good this defense is going to be one of 271 00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:53.600 the best teamers can be seen in a long time. Yeah, 272 00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:55.399 so they've got some work to do, but they don't 273 00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:57.720 have to be tops in the NFL. They just have 274 00:12:57.879 --> 00:12:59.879 to be competent and not have four turnovers. 275 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:02.120 Thank you. That's exactly my point. Work to do. 276 00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:05.440 But that's okay, perfect, perfect way you got to win. 277 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:07.279 But you know exactly what's wrong. 278 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:08.759 And a lot of good teams have a lot of 279 00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:10.399 work to do. That are really good teams that are 280 00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:11.080 on one today. 281 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:13.159 I gotta tell you, I was I was looking at 282 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:17.440 the scores last night. Very few offenses look like they 283 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:19.519 were doing anything. I mean we had a lot of 284 00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:23.320 like sixteen, thirteen, twelve, nine, I mean we had a 285 00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:25.240 lot of low scoring games yesterday. 286 00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:28.480 Week one in the NFL is notoriously weird. You just 287 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:30.679 want to win the game at the end of the day. 288 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:33.000 The bottom line after Week one, if the offense looks 289 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:35.320 like this in week nine, we're having a different conversation 290 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:36.320 week one. 291 00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:39.399 Mind you, the preseason has one last game. 292 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:41.679 Now, it's still kind of preseason mode, especially for an 293 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:43.000 office that didn't get a lot of run. 294 00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.840 Let's be patient, yep, there you go. So that's our 295 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.480 Broncos talk. It's over now for the three of you 296 00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:51.919 that are complaining on the text line already, I realize 297 00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:53.840 you guys, what is football? 298 00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:54.440 Who cares? 299 00:13:54.519 --> 00:14:01.120 Irrelevant? It's our national pastime now it is? Anyway, Oh 300 00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:02.279 is this a sports show? 301 00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:02.519 Now? 302 00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:02.799 You know? 303 00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:03.320 What a rod? 304 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:05.039 We're gonna do three hours of sports right now just 305 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:05.679 because this guy. 306 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:06.639 No, I'm just kidding. 307 00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:07.159 We can. 308 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:10.080 I can, but I don't want to. I did sports 309 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:11.080 radio for three years. 310 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:12.440 That was enough. 311 00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:17.960 It's so repetitive, just the same conversations to just insert 312 00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:20.440 different names or whatever. The guys in the afternoon make 313 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:22.639 it far more interesting than I think it should be 314 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:23.600 if you ask me. 315 00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:24.600 Honestly. 316 00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:28.159 Anyway, I got a lot of stuff on the blog today. 317 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:30.519 I do have a couple of things.

Section eight Housing is a 375 00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:55.440 program that initially was designed to assist people with their 376 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:59.679 rent and give them a lower housing costs to prevent 377 00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:02.200 them from being homeless. And I think that's an admirable goal. 378 00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:06.039 The program's been around for a very long time and 379 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:10.720 has been a part of the social safety net for 380 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:12.720 a very long time. Well, a couple of things were 381 00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:15.839 happening with Section eight housing, and one of them comes 382 00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:22.079 directly from the the HUD Secretary. HUD is Housing and 383 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.319 Urban Development. Scott Turner is a former NFL player and 384 00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:29.240 I'm going to be the first to admit he was 385 00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:31.799 one of the appointments by Donald Trump that I was like, 386 00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:36.359 what I didn't I just didn't understand it. But I 387 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:39.559 got to tell you after hearing this exchange, I am 388 00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:42.759 all for Scott Turner as HUD secretary. And here he 389 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:47.440 is talking about Section eight housing and overall welfare benefits overall. 390 00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:49.799 Can I have my audio? Are I give him my computer? 391 00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:51.039 Listen to this? 392 00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:53.160 Send in all these club programs that you know, this 393 00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:55.839 is really the only avenue they have mom to get house. 394 00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:57.480 Are you talking about the proposed time limits? 395 00:17:57.599 --> 00:17:58.240 Yeah, that's right. 396 00:17:58.480 --> 00:17:59.279 And what is her question? 397 00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:01.920 Just if there's any concern about whether you're, you know, 398 00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:03.640 to be pushing out families. 399 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:08.720 That you've noticed, no concern at all. Government subsidies were 400 00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:11.720 never meant to be a lifestyle. Have you ever met 401 00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:13.200 somebody to live in government housing? 402 00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:15.920 I'm going to stop it there because I want you 403 00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:18.799 to hear how long this pause is by the reporter 404 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:21.079 after he says, if you ever met anybody who's lives 405 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:21.759 in government housing? 406 00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:23.480 So we just asked a questions. Listen to how long 407 00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:24.039 the pause is. 408 00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:29.279 Personally, I have enough. 409 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:34.200 I meant hundreds of people around their country. Government subsidies 410 00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:37.200 were never meant to be a hammock. They're meant to 411 00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:41.160 be a trampoline. We're always going to have people in 412 00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:43.119 our nation that need help, and. 413 00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:46.000 We understand that from the heart of hood. We understand it. 414 00:18:46.039 --> 00:18:49.000 We'll have these people. I met a young lady in 415 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:50.880 a certain city in our country that's been living in 416 00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:55.039 a certain housing project, which was deplorable. She's fifty two 417 00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:58.000 years old. She's been living there since nineteen fifty three. 418 00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:00.319 Excuse me, she's fifty two years old. She's been living 419 00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:04.279 there since nineteen seventy three. She's able body, able minded, 420 00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:08.079 she was raised there, she lived there, now, she's raising 421 00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:08.759 her children there. 422 00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:11.880 There's three generations living in government subsidies. 423 00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:13.839 That are able body, able minded. That's not the way 424 00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:15.920 that our government and our country is supposed to be. 425 00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:18.759 And so when you talk about time limits, time limits 426 00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:20.519 are kind of an encouragement. 427 00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:22.119 It's like, hey, you can do this. 428 00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:25.559 No, remember, we're talking about able body, able minded people, 429 00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:29.759 not seniors, not to disable, people who are able to work, 430 00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:32.440 people who have the ability to work, people who have 431 00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:36.599 the mental acuity to work and look for work. 432 00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:38.519 Right when you. 433 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:42.519 Change the trajectory of someone's future by saying you know what, 434 00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:44.759 we're not just telling you the work. 435 00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:46.880 We're gonna have workforce training around you. 436 00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:50.319 We're gonna have skill training around you to get out 437 00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:53.920 of government subsidies to live a life of self sustainability. 438 00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:54.799 This is not. 439 00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:59.920 Democrat, it's not republican. Poverty has no party. You understand, 440 00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:03.400 Poverty is not red, it's not blue, it's not black, 441 00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:08.000 it's not white. It impacts everyone directly. So my heart, 442 00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:11.279 the President's heart center, the crapos heart, is this, how 443 00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:14.960 do we help ablebody people change the conversation? 444 00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:17.559 I say, you know what you can do it? 445 00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:21.440 This is not political, this is you know what you 446 00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:23.559 can So we're gonna put time limps on here and 447 00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:28.160 help you to traject out of poverty, out of government subsidy, 448 00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:29.680 to a life of self sustability. 449 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:32.119 That's the heart behind this going. 450 00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:34.720 Research bill Clintons Bill nineteen ninety six, when they did. 451 00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:36.640 Real well for a reform, I was just gonna bring 452 00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:37.039 mine of that. 453 00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:39.599 You don't remember, you too young, So I'm going to 454 00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:40.240 research that. 455 00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:45.160 That is HUD Secretary Scott Turner. So why am I 456 00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:45.640 playing that? 457 00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:45.960 Now? 458 00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:50.519 Center Square just did a big report on Section eight 459 00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:54.000 in Colorado. Now, I am a person who says, I 460 00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:57.200 believe that Section eight housing is an important thing, but 461 00:20:57.440 --> 00:20:59.279 I agree with the HUD secretary it should be a 462 00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:03.039 temporary measure. I personally know people who have lived in 463 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:07.359 hut housing temporarily for some three four years before they 464 00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:09.200 were able to get their feet on them and get 465 00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:12.400 under them and get back out on their own. But 466 00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:16.839 it is, it should be a temporary proposition. And the 467 00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:21.079 Center Square did some looking into what Section eight housing 468 00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:22.559 vouchers would buy you. 469 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:23.799 Here in Colorado. 470 00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:29.079 Now, in Colorado, the program pays up to thirty eight 471 00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:31.640 hundred and seventy nine dollars for a four bedroom home. 472 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:37.200 Listen to this in the eight zero nine two four 473 00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:40.799 zip code, which includes Wolf Ranch. There are twenty eight 474 00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:43.839 homes with four or more bedrooms for rent, ranging from 475 00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:46.279 two thousand, ninety nine per month to four thousand, two 476 00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:49.359 hundred and fifty dollars per month, all but three of 477 00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:52.119 which are below the three thousand, eight hundred and seventy 478 00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:55.359 nine dollars per month limit. The median rent is three thousand, 479 00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:58.480 two hundred and fifty dollars per month, and one example 480 00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:01.400 A three thousand, two hundred fifty dollar a month home 481 00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:05.119 is a five bedroom, four bathroom, three thousand, seven hundred 482 00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:09.039 and ninety square foot home including a home theater, bar, 483 00:22:09.559 --> 00:22:13.440 a large fenced in yard, and a three car garage. Y'all, 484 00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:15.279 I don't have a home theater a rod. Do you 485 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:16.599 have a home theater in your house? 486 00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:17.240 No? 487 00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:20.319 Her parents do. Well, I'm not asking about your parents. 488 00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:24.960 No, I don't either, And yet you're telling me that 489 00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:26.839 people who have Section eight housing can get that. 490 00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:27.200 Now. 491 00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:29.839 I don't want people to live in slums, right, I 492 00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:32.480 want people. I want people to live in housing that 493 00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:37.519 is clean and safe and tidy. I was watching one 494 00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:41.440 of the shows that I watched on HTTV and Ben 495 00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:44.400 and Aaron from hometown were helping this woman renovate a 496 00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:47.039 home that she was going to use to shelter women 497 00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:49.759 who were coming out of abusive relationships and allow them 498 00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:51.200 to get back on their feet. It was it was 499 00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:53.559 going to be a group housing situation. But they were 500 00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:56.160 standing in the kitchen and Aaron and Ben were talking 501 00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:57.640 about what they were going to do in the kitchen, 502 00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:00.279 and Aaron said, well, what kind of countertipme do you 503 00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:02.640 want to hear? And the lady said, I want lambin 504 00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:06.480 It countertops. Now, lamin It is pretty much the cheapest 505 00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:09.240 kind of countertop that you can buy. I think they 506 00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:11.680 actually went with butcher block, which is also very affordable 507 00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:12.440 but looks nicer. 508 00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:14.279 But that's neither here nor there. 509 00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:16.880 So she said, no, I want I want cheap countertops 510 00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:20.519 because I don't want this house to be so nice 511 00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:23.799 that when they step out to actually do something that 512 00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:28.119 they can afford, it is a step down. And I 513 00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:30.319 thought that was very interesting. She said, I want all 514 00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:32.640 steps to feel like there is a step up. So 515 00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:36.519 instead of having you know, granted countertops and all of 516 00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:40.480 that stuff, they had a very clean, very nice, very 517 00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:45.119 neatly decorated house that was done with materials that were 518 00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:48.160 lower end, So when those women moved out of that house, 519 00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:50.440 they would be feeling like they were stepping up and 520 00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:51.359 not stepping down. 521 00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:53.279 One of the issues. 522 00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:57.680 And this is again from personal experience, not me personally, 523 00:23:57.759 --> 00:23:59.359 but with people that I know and care about that 524 00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:03.279 I know very very well. Getting out of the system 525 00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:07.519 once you're in the system can sometimes be almost as 526 00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:11.119 challenging as getting in the system. I had one friend 527 00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:14.240 who was in Section eight housing after her divorce. She 528 00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:18.400 had a lot of kids and her husband was not 529 00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:20.720 a nice person, and she decided to leave and she 530 00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:23.799 ended up in Section eight housing. And in her two 531 00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:26.440 and a half years in Section eight housing, she went 532 00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:28.920 managed to go back to school, get her degree in nursing, 533 00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:32.759 and then got a really good job in nursing. Right, 534 00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:36.240 so her fortunes changed dramatically in two and a half years. 535 00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:41.440 It took forever to get her name off the rolls, and. 536 00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:43.440 In doing so, while she was still on the rolls 537 00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:45.920 and then now had a really good job, she's getting 538 00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:48.720 all these notices that essentially she's defrauding the government when 539 00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:50.759 she was clear she had all the documentations. 540 00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:51.599 She's like, I've set you. 541 00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:53.640 Guys all these letters to take me out of the 542 00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:55.799 system because now I'm making you know, a decent living 543 00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:58.880 or whatever, and it was a nightmare for her. The 544 00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:02.920 system is fundamental broken in so many ways. It's broken 545 00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:05.759 in that to the secretary's point, there are people that 546 00:25:05.880 --> 00:25:10.000 have made living on the government dole a lifestyle choice, 547 00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:13.240 and that's wrong if they are able bodied, enable minded. 548 00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:15.079 And I love the way you kept coming back to that. 549 00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:18.519 We're not talking about displacing the elderly or the people 550 00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:22.240 that are physically or mentally unable to care for themselves 551 00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:25.359 in a significant way. He's talking about people that the 552 00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:29.559 only thing holding them back is themselves. And this whole 553 00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:34.519 exchange with the HUD secretary, for me, clearly delineates the 554 00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:38.839 difference between the ways people on the left look at 555 00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:41.799 people in poverty and the way people on the right 556 00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:44.599 look at people in poverty. People on the left look 557 00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:46.079 at people in poverty and say. 558 00:25:46.039 --> 00:25:49.240 Oh, no, they're poor. We have to do something to 559 00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:49.720 help them. 560 00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:51.039 What can we do. 561 00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:53.799 We can give them housing, Great, we've solved that problem. 562 00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:56.000 We've checked that box. Their life is better off now 563 00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:58.799 because of it. But that's where it stops, right, it 564 00:25:58.839 --> 00:26:01.119 doesn't you don't stop to say, what are we doing 565 00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:03.680 to their sense of responsibility, to their sense of self 566 00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:07.119 worth when we don't allow people to pay their own 567 00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:09.599 way in any way shape or form. People on the 568 00:26:09.720 --> 00:26:13.839 right see able minded, able bodied people and say there's potential, 569 00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:17.200 and all we have to do is help them tap 570 00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:20.759 into their own potential so they no longer need our 571 00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:24.279 assistance going forward, and in a perfect world, they will 572 00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:27.400 become tax paying citizens whose tax dollars will go to 573 00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:31.000 help other people that started out where they did. And 574 00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:34.039 I think that's a pretty big fundamental difference. I hope 575 00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:37.200 you heard the audio that I played from HUTS Secretary 576 00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:41.559 Scott Turner about requiring able bodied, able minded people to 577 00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:44.480 have a time limit on how much time they spend 578 00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:46.200 in Section eight housing, and I. 579 00:26:46.279 --> 00:26:46.799 Agree with that. 580 00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:49.640 I actually think, like if I could wave a magic 581 00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:52.400 wand right now, and I've thought about this for honestly 582 00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:56.839 for two decades now, welfare reform is not just about 583 00:26:56.880 --> 00:26:59.440 telling people they can't have access to welfare anymore. 584 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:01.640 It's just not going to work. It's not going to 585 00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:02.200 be effective. 586 00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:05.240 But the big problem with welfare as it is right now, 587 00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:08.720 including Section eight housing, is that if you all of 588 00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:11.519 a sudden go out and you start making too much money, 589 00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:11.960 they're going. 590 00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:13.400 To take away your welfare benefits. 591 00:27:13.400 --> 00:27:15.759 And often what happens is and I'm going to use 592 00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:18.599 an example that's a real life example. So I know 593 00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:21.759 a young woman who at the time was a team worker, 594 00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:25.079 a team member at McDonald's. She had gotten a part 595 00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:27.440 time job when her kids went to school so she 596 00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:29.000 could be there for her kids and everything. 597 00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:31.440 It was, you know, she's in the welfare program. 598 00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:33.680 I interviewed this young woman, and I interviewed her in 599 00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:36.839 two thousand and seven, maybe in Florida. So she's a 600 00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:40.720 team member, and her manager at the McDonald saw something 601 00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:42.839 in her and said, you know, I think if you 602 00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:45.359 really wanted to have a career with McDonald's, you can 603 00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:46.960 do a really great job. And I'd like to make 604 00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:49.799 you an assistant manager. And that assistant manager job came 605 00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:51.480 with a very modest raise. 606 00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:53.440 But that modest raise was. 607 00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:55.720 Enough to knock her off of her food benefits, the 608 00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:58.680 snap benefits, so she relied on to pay for her children. 609 00:27:59.039 --> 00:28:02.400 Because it is an all or nothing situation, right, you 610 00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:05.599 either get welfare benefits or you don't. If we could 611 00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:09.799 institute a step down program for welfare benefits, like oh, 612 00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:11.920 you got to raise it work. We're gonna reduce those 613 00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:14.240 snap benefits by X amount of dollars, but not the 614 00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:17.240 whole thing, because what ends up happening is now you've 615 00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:20.440 trapped this woman who her manager at McDonald's has said, 616 00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:22.599 you have potential, and if you want to make a 617 00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:23.920 career in McDonald's, you can do it. 618 00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:26.240 And by the way, McDonald's has some of. 619 00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:30.920 The best workforce development opportunities of any franchise operation. I 620 00:28:31.079 --> 00:28:33.400 know more than one person who started out as an 621 00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:36.839 employee at McDonald's and ended up owning at McDonald's. Right, 622 00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:39.559 so don't laugh at McDonald's. But she had been kind 623 00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:41.319 of targeted and said, look, you have potentially you can 624 00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:44.440 do this job. Only because of her financial situation with 625 00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:48.039 her welfare benefits and the modest rays to assistant manager, 626 00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:52.599 she couldn't do it, and that prevents from becoming a manager, 627 00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:54.880 It prevents her from becoming a regional manager, It prevents 628 00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:57.920 her from becoming a store owner because she couldn't make 629 00:28:57.960 --> 00:29:00.519 that one jump. What we have to do is allow 630 00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:04.000 people to step down their benefits, and until we can 631 00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:06.279 figure out how to do that in a reasonable fashion, 632 00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:09.680 we are trapping people on welfare we are trapping people 633 00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:12.519 in section eight housing. And don't get me wrong, there 634 00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:14.640 are plenty of people in Section eight housing. You plan 635 00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:17.319 on making it a lifestyle because once you get the 636 00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:20.079 same thing as rent control in New York, the people 637 00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:22.319 that are in rent control departments for five hundred bucks, 638 00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:25.960 that's they're perfectly fine with that. At least that's private 639 00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:29.920 property being hit instead of the government. We need to 640 00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:32.680 overhaul the same thing, but starting with time limits. I'm 641 00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:38.160 here for it and recognizing what these benefits do and 642 00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:40.400 the fact that and I went and looked at this quote. 643 00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:43.599 I love this quote from Ben Franklin, and I think 644 00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:47.319 it fits perfectly here. Ben Franklin once said, I am 645 00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:50.119 for doing good for the poor, but I think the 646 00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:52.440 best way of doing good to the poor is not 647 00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:55.920 making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them 648 00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:59.319 out of it. I observed that the more public provisions 649 00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:03.240 were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, 650 00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:06.839 and of course became poorer. And on the contrary, the 651 00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:09.400 less was done for them, the more they did for 652 00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:11.880 themselves and became richer. 653 00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:15.039 Then Franklin knew it way back then. We should all 654 00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:15.559 know it now. 655 00:30:16.440 --> 00:30:19.079 The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock 656 00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:20.599 Accident and injury Lawyers. 657 00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:25.799 No, it's Mandy Connell and Dona. 658 00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:32.160 Ka ninetem got. 659 00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:41.440 The nicey got through three? Andy Connell keep no sad bab. 660 00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:44.960 Welcome Local, Welcome to the second hour of the show. 661 00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:46.160 I'm your host, Mandy Connall. 662 00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:49.200 That guy over there decked out in his Broncos orange 663 00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:53.000 is Anthony Rodriguez. And together we'll take you right up 664 00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:54.880 until three pm when we hand the show over to 665 00:30:54.960 --> 00:30:57.079 the sports station. We already did our sports for the day, 666 00:30:57.200 --> 00:30:59.200 so if you missed the beginning of the show, you're 667 00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:00.920 gonna have to go back and lit listen to the podcast, 668 00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:04.079 which will be available right after the show on the 669 00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:08.440 Crystal Clear iHeartRadio app. Now, this is apropos of nothing, 670 00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:10.119 but I do want to kind of throw this out here. 671 00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:16.680 The ten year Treasury note just dropped to just barely 672 00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:20.440 over four percent. Why am I telling you this because 673 00:31:20.519 --> 00:31:24.720 with the ten year Treasury note drops interest rates on mortgages. 674 00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:27.480 That is the number that mortgages are paid to. 675 00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:30.480 And I just looked there are mortgage rates for the 676 00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:34.880 thirty year mortgage at the five point nine percent rate. Now, 677 00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:36.480 I don't know what you're going to qualify for I 678 00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:38.680 really don't. But if you've been sitting on the sidelines 679 00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:41.720 waiting to buy a house, I am telling you right now, 680 00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:46.160 if you wait too long, if you wait for mortgage 681 00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:49.559 rates to go any any lower, you're going to be 682 00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:52.079 part of the feeding frenzy in the market. Because there's 683 00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:53.960 a lot of people on the sidelines who are like, look, 684 00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:56.440 six percent is just too much for me to pay. 685 00:31:57.759 --> 00:31:59.880 But as soon as those mortgage rates go below six 686 00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:04.119 then all bets are off. Feeding frenzy in the housing market. 687 00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:06.599 It's going to be crazy because we have the houses 688 00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:09.039 to sell right now. So if I were you, if 689 00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:11.200 I was buying a house right now, or even if 690 00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:13.759 I was considering doing you know, a cash out refire 691 00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:16.119 or something like that, I would call today to lock 692 00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:19.079 in this mortgage rate. I would just call American Financing 693 00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:21.240 right now. This is not a commercial for American Financing. 694 00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:23.359 You guys know I love real estate. You know I 695 00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:25.279 pay attention to this stuff just as a hobby, and 696 00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:28.799 I do. But when I saw that Treasury rate, I'm like, 697 00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:30.960 I bet mortgage rates are below six percent. So if 698 00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:33.559 you've been waiting, call today, lock in the rate. 699 00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:34.559 Just do it. 700 00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:37.319 Do it anyway. I've got to talk. 701 00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:45.279 About a story that is so disturbing on multiple levels, and. 702 00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:50.440 It's the story of a young Ukrainian refugee, twenty three 703 00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:57.680 years old, Arena Zarutska. This happened in Charlotte, North Carolina. 704 00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:04.920 Zarutska was leaving work and got on the Charlotte light 705 00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:08.079 rail train and sat down and was looking at her phone, 706 00:33:08.160 --> 00:33:12.079 not doing anything, minding her own business. And the video 707 00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:17.559 that is making the rounds now shows her sitting down 708 00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:20.279 in front of an African American man in a hoodie 709 00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:24.559 who is directly behind her. And you can watch this 710 00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:28.799 man very casually take something out of his pocket. You 711 00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:30.960 realize it's like a pocket knife or whatever, and he 712 00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:34.359 opens up the blade and then he stands up and 713 00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:38.279 he stabs this woman three times, once in the throat. 714 00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:43.319 She is dead now, twenty three year old woman, completely 715 00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:45.680 and utterly unprovoked attack. 716 00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:47.039 That is all on video. 717 00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:49.640 If you're the sort he wants to see the whole thing, 718 00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:51.079 that video is out there as well. 719 00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:52.160 I did not embed it. 720 00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:55.200 I'm not publishing it. It's just not something I'm going 721 00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:58.799 to share. Hey, Rud, when you're on X, do you 722 00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:02.359 have I feel like now, and I don't follow any 723 00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:05.039 of these people, right, But people that I do follow 724 00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:09.079 are retweeting videos of people getting killed or getting hit 725 00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:11.280 by a train or whatever. I don't want to see 726 00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:12.159 that in my life. 727 00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:15.639 Oh I immediately unfollow. I did too. I don't want 728 00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:16.039 to see and. 729 00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:17.920 I'm just but I'm not following the people in the 730 00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:20.719 original video. I'm following people and then they're retweeting it. 731 00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:21.320 Correct. 732 00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:24.920 If you are a part of Broncos Country and you 733 00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:26.480 are a horn dog, please stop. 734 00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:28.000 Oh god? 735 00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:28.119 What? 736 00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:31.000 Oh yeah, there's a lot of a lot of a 737 00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:33.280 lot of guys in Broncos Country. I don't feel the 738 00:34:33.400 --> 00:34:36.679 need to not just enjoy themselves, but to repurpose it 739 00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:38.840 for all the thing. 740 00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:41.519 Like whatever you want to follow in your own account, 741 00:34:41.599 --> 00:34:43.159 I don't care. Like if you want to watch us, 742 00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:45.519 if that's fine. But when other people are following you 743 00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:48.599 because of other content that you've created, whether it's you know, 744 00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:50.880 there's one guy that I love who does this beautiful 745 00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:54.239 nature photography, or he's stealing beautiful nature photography from someone else, 746 00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:56.920 and all of a sudden, it's like all these death videos, 747 00:34:57.159 --> 00:34:59.239 which is why I now believe he was stealing all 748 00:34:59.280 --> 00:35:01.800 those photos from other people, right, this. 749 00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:03.320 Guy has no original ideas. 750 00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:04.559 I don't like that. 751 00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:05.960 I'm not going to see it. I didn't embed it 752 00:35:06.039 --> 00:35:08.559 on the blog. It's horrible. It's out there though. Here's 753 00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:10.800 the problem with his story. The first level number one, 754 00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:14.239 level number one when people started pointing out that this 755 00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:17.000 story happened in that thirty four year old de Carlos Brown, 756 00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:20.239 who has now been charged with first degree murder, had 757 00:35:20.320 --> 00:35:24.760 a long criminal history, including armed robbery, felony, larcenae, breaking 758 00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:29.559 and entering. He recently had an arrest and was charged 759 00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:31.039 with the misuse of nine to one one. 760 00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:32.719 What happened. 761 00:35:33.360 --> 00:35:37.119 He allegedly asked officers to investigate a man made material 762 00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:40.159 that controlled when he ate walked and talked. 763 00:35:41.360 --> 00:35:42.599 Officers told Brown. 764 00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:44.840 The issue was a medical issue and there was nothing 765 00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:47.679 more they could do. He became upset and called nine 766 00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:51.320 to one one. Obviously, this guy is extremely mentally ill, 767 00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:53.599 but yet he was walking around the streets of Charlotte, 768 00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:57.039 North Carolina, just like we've had people here in Denver, Colorado, 769 00:35:57.480 --> 00:36:00.039 walking around the streets of the Sixteenth Street Mall, and 770 00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:02.480 it was still the sixteenth Street Mall, stabbing a flight 771 00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:06.400 attendant to death in the middle of the day. What's 772 00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:10.239 frustrating for me is that this story of a black 773 00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:15.039 man killing a young white Ukrainian refugee has been absolutely buried, 774 00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:17.320 and when asked about it, news media outlets all over 775 00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:20.400 the country are saying things like, well, it's a local story. 776 00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:24.280 So was the death of Michael Brown, so was the 777 00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:28.159 death of George Floyd. One hundred percent local stories, but 778 00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:29.840 they certainly made national news. 779 00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:35.440 But the problem here is that this gentleman is black, so. 780 00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:37.639 Therefore we don't get the same kind of coverage of 781 00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:40.719 this horrific crime that is on video. 782 00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:46.559 Oh you guys, the mayor. 783 00:36:46.639 --> 00:36:49.639 Of Charlotte, North Carolina, who by the way, has always 784 00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:53.559 presented herself as a social justice warrior at every opportunity, 785 00:36:54.679 --> 00:36:57.960 first of all, posted something on Twitter that was so 786 00:36:58.159 --> 00:36:59.800 weak it was mind blowing. 787 00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:01.119 Listen to this. 788 00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:02.119 This is a first statement. 789 00:37:02.679 --> 00:37:06.159 The video of the heartbreaking attack that took Arena Zarutzki's 790 00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:09.400 life is now public. I want to thank our media 791 00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:13.119 partners and community members who have chosen not to repost 792 00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:16.679 or share the footage out of respect for Arena's family. 793 00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:21.159 This was a senseless and tragic loss. My prayers remain 794 00:37:21.320 --> 00:37:23.960 with her loved ones as they continue to grieve through 795 00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:28.159 an unimaginable time. Like so many of you, I'm heartbroken, 796 00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:31.320 and I've been thinking hard about what safety really looks 797 00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:34.360 like in our city. I remain committed to doing all 798 00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:37.480 we can to protect our residents and ensure Charlotte is 799 00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:40.960 a place where everyone feels safe. Is that just the 800 00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:46.599 most garbage nonsense statement you have ever heard? 801 00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:47.199 Oh? 802 00:37:47.360 --> 00:37:51.000 It gets better, It gets better. And I don't know 803 00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:54.800 when this statement came out. I think it probably came 804 00:37:54.840 --> 00:38:00.079 out after the statement that she made on X. And 805 00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:04.760 in this statement about this one line mentions the fact 806 00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:06.519 that a young woman is dead, and it's this one 807 00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:09.320 first and foremost, my thoughts and prayers go out to 808 00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:11.000 the young woman's family and friends. 809 00:38:11.400 --> 00:38:12.440 Didn't even use her name. 810 00:38:13.800 --> 00:38:14.760 And then she goes on. 811 00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:17.000 Ah. 812 00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:22.400 Then she goes on to talk about how. 813 00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:27.760 For the most part, Charlotte is a safe city, the 814 00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:32.840 light rail is a safe transit system. I bet Arena 815 00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:37.679 doesn't feel safe today. She also says this, this is 816 00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:41.280 a tragic situation that sheds light on problems with society 817 00:38:41.400 --> 00:38:44.679 safety nets related to mental health care and the systems 818 00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:47.440 that should be in place as we come to understand 819 00:38:47.480 --> 00:38:50.960 what happened and why we must look at the entire situation. 820 00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:53.519 While I do not know the specifics of the man's 821 00:38:53.559 --> 00:38:56.199 medical record, would have come to understand is that he 822 00:38:56.280 --> 00:38:59.440 has long struggled with mental health and appears to have 823 00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:03.960 suffered a crisis. This was the unfortunate and tragic outcome. 824 00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:06.760 While there are questions about the safety and security of 825 00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:09.480 our transit system and our city, I do know there 826 00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:13.039 have been significant and sustained efforts to address safety and 827 00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:15.280 security within our transit system and. 828 00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:16.639 Across our city. 829 00:39:19.079 --> 00:39:21.400 Then she goes on after she talks about how safe 830 00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:24.159 Charlotte is to say this, I want to be clear 831 00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:27.000 that I am not villainizing those who struggle with their 832 00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:31.000 mental health or those who are unhoused. Mental health disease 833 00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:34.400 is just that, a disease like any other, that needs 834 00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:38.039 to be treated with the same compassion, diligence, and commitment 835 00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:41.400 as cancer or heart disease. Our community must work to 836 00:39:41.480 --> 00:39:46.639 address the underlying issue of access to mental health care. So, 837 00:39:47.079 --> 00:39:50.039 just so you understand what she wants you to do. 838 00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:54.639 She wants you to ignore the fact that someone randomly 839 00:39:54.679 --> 00:39:57.159 got stabbed on the neck on light rail. She wants 840 00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:00.400 you to make sure that you don't stigmatize the man 841 00:40:00.719 --> 00:40:03.719 who decided, in a fit of whatever to stab a 842 00:40:03.760 --> 00:40:04.440 young woman in the. 843 00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:09.480 Neck for no reason. This is the most backwards logic. 844 00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:10.239 Of all time. 845 00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:11.760 And don't get me wrong, you guys. 846 00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:13.519 I think we've talked about mental health on this show 847 00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:17.840 enough so that you guys know I not only have 848 00:40:18.159 --> 00:40:23.039 a lot of familial experience with mental health. I am 849 00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:26.039 one of those people that, even as a libertarian, am 850 00:40:26.239 --> 00:40:32.320 advocating for forced confinement for someone who has demonstrated that 851 00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:37.239 they are mentally ill and potentially violent. That doesn't mean 852 00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:40.239 forced confinement for people who are mentally ill and are 853 00:40:40.280 --> 00:40:42.199 trying to deal with those issues in a way that 854 00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:43.800 doesn't negatively impact. 855 00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:45.079 Strangers on the street. 856 00:40:45.719 --> 00:40:48.800 Lots of people have mental illness, even severe mental illness, 857 00:40:49.000 --> 00:40:51.519 and they never demonstrate the capability of violence. 858 00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:55.800 Okay, so let's be clear about that. But there are mentally. 859 00:40:55.559 --> 00:40:58.920 Ill people like this man who are so detached from 860 00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:03.480 reality that they cannot be trusted in society because doing 861 00:41:03.639 --> 00:41:06.920 so puts others at risk. These are people who are 862 00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:10.960 so mentally ill that they are incapable of making decisions 863 00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:14.559 for themselves. The same way that we protect children from 864 00:41:14.639 --> 00:41:17.719 bad decision making by not allowing them to sign contracts 865 00:41:18.079 --> 00:41:21.280 or be held liable for such contracts. We have to 866 00:41:21.360 --> 00:41:24.199 recognize that there are people who are so significantly mentally 867 00:41:24.239 --> 00:41:27.760 ill that they cannot make reasonable, rational decisions on their 868 00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:30.760 own behalf, and of that percentage of people, there are 869 00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:33.880 a number of people who have proven themselves to be 870 00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:39.960 violent and dangerous, and we should be okay removing those 871 00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:44.480 people from society until they show that they have sufficiently 872 00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:48.679 recovered from that mental illness that they no longer pose 873 00:41:48.719 --> 00:41:52.159 a danger to themselves or someone else, or maybe never. 874 00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:54.920 There are people who are never going to get better. 875 00:41:56.119 --> 00:41:58.440 There are people who are always going to remain a threat, 876 00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:02.320 and we have to figure something out. But just sitting 877 00:42:02.360 --> 00:42:04.679 here and talking about it, don't be mad at the 878 00:42:04.760 --> 00:42:07.519 homeless people. Don't be mad at the mentally ill. I'm 879 00:42:07.559 --> 00:42:09.440 not mad at any of those people. I'm mad that 880 00:42:09.599 --> 00:42:12.840 this man who has a violent criminal history was let 881 00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:15.320 out on the streets to murder this young woman. Talk 882 00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:19.599 about a death that did not need to happen. And 883 00:42:19.719 --> 00:42:22.239 this is the same stuff that's happening in Denver, you guys, 884 00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:27.400 this is the same exact stuff we have These crazy people. Now, 885 00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:29.280 don't get me wrong, we have a lot of crazy 886 00:42:29.320 --> 00:42:32.400 people walking around downtown Denver. If you have a driven 887 00:42:33.119 --> 00:42:35.440 and seen them so whacked out on drugs or just 888 00:42:35.719 --> 00:42:38.519 insanity that they're just wandering around. If they're wandering around, 889 00:42:38.599 --> 00:42:40.920 some of them are just bent in half, standing there, 890 00:42:40.960 --> 00:42:43.719 bent in half. But you see those people that are 891 00:42:43.719 --> 00:42:46.239 wandering around, they're yelling at each other, yelling at themselves, 892 00:42:46.639 --> 00:42:48.760 wandering around in the middle of an intersection, dressed in 893 00:42:48.800 --> 00:42:49.239 a blanket. 894 00:42:49.320 --> 00:42:49.960 That happened to me. 895 00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:53.280 I mean, I wasn't wandering around the street and dressed 896 00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:57.239 in a blanket. I'm just saying we've seen the crazy people. 897 00:42:57.320 --> 00:42:59.239 Not all those people are dangerous, but we need to 898 00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:04.519 take the danger one's out of circulation until such time 899 00:43:04.679 --> 00:43:06.800 as they can be trusted to be let out in 900 00:43:06.920 --> 00:43:10.840 society again. And this should not be a controversial issue. 901 00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:15.760 But watching people. By the way, there's a go fund me. 902 00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:17.320 For this man. 903 00:43:18.199 --> 00:43:21.440 Oh yeah, oh yeah, someone started to go fund me 904 00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:25.880 for him so that we could fight against. 905 00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:27.679 The racism of the system. 906 00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:29.880 Now, this man. 907 00:43:31.199 --> 00:43:36.000 Is on video stabbing a woman to death on a train, 908 00:43:36.519 --> 00:43:39.000 and yet there are people in our society that think 909 00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:42.119 the problem is racism. Now, I would doubt I'm just 910 00:43:42.159 --> 00:43:43.639 gonna say it, I doubt that that any of this 911 00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:45.800 money will ever go to this guy. Seems to me 912 00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:47.920 like a grift by someone who decided to put up 913 00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:50.000 a GoFundMe for idiots to donate to. 914 00:43:51.239 --> 00:43:53.679 I forgot to look and see. Hang on to Carlos 915 00:43:54.559 --> 00:43:56.760 Brown go fund me. 916 00:43:56.960 --> 00:43:57.679 Let me see if it's. 917 00:43:57.559 --> 00:43:59.719 Still up, because I looked at it early. Oh go, 918 00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:02.800 and he took it down. Thank you, Thank you, Go 919 00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:07.480 fund me, Thank you. But I'm wondering how. 920 00:44:07.440 --> 00:44:10.320 Much was actually collected. 921 00:44:11.360 --> 00:44:14.239 By that, so yeah. 922 00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:19.199 Go fund Me, by the way, has also set up 923 00:44:19.199 --> 00:44:23.639 a page for Arena Zurutska's family, and that's raised about 924 00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:26.760 one hundred thousand dollars right now, So I mean that's good. 925 00:44:26.920 --> 00:44:30.440 Although I if I'm a parent or a sister or whatever, 926 00:44:31.400 --> 00:44:33.639 I don't want money. I want my family member back, 927 00:44:35.119 --> 00:44:39.639 you know. Anyway, I'm trying to see how much money 928 00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:43.519 has been raised for her, and I can't get to 929 00:44:43.639 --> 00:44:47.559 that point. So we'll see ninety thousand dollars raised of 930 00:44:47.639 --> 00:44:51.400 a one hundred and ten thousand dollar coal This is 931 00:44:51.480 --> 00:44:57.079 another example of the wave of criminal justice reform that 932 00:44:57.199 --> 00:44:59.639 happened in this country. That all it did was make 933 00:44:59.679 --> 00:45:01.920 it easier for people to commit crimes and get away 934 00:45:01.960 --> 00:45:08.039 with it. What's really funny about this Axios. Listen to 935 00:45:08.079 --> 00:45:13.960 the headline on Axios about this dabbing video fuels Maga's 936 00:45:14.039 --> 00:45:20.920 crime message, as if somehow this one event was what 937 00:45:21.480 --> 00:45:24.639 engineered by you know, Maga, people who are actually concerned 938 00:45:24.679 --> 00:45:28.599 about crime, as if to make the point even stronger. Yeah, 939 00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:32.199 it makes Maga's point. But it makes Maga's point because 940 00:45:32.239 --> 00:45:36.159 a young woman is senselessly attacked and murdered on video. Right, 941 00:45:36.559 --> 00:45:39.760 if you're concerned about about a violent crime, this sort 942 00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:42.960 of does. It is the giant punctuation mark on this. 943 00:45:43.719 --> 00:45:45.559 You know, I read something yesterday and I could not 944 00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:48.159 find it today because honestly, I couldn't remember where I 945 00:45:48.199 --> 00:45:49.639 read it or I wrote it. But it was an 946 00:45:49.679 --> 00:45:54.159 interesting take, and the take was that Donald Trump has 947 00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:57.480 proven to be masterful at putting Democrats on the twenty 948 00:45:57.599 --> 00:46:01.719 side of an eighty twenty issue, and crime is now 949 00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:05.920 one of those. You know, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, I 950 00:46:06.039 --> 00:46:09.280 have to give it to her. She recognized an opportunity 951 00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:12.320 and she has taken it. She actually was talking day 952 00:46:12.360 --> 00:46:15.119 before yesterday about the fact that carjackings in d C, 953 00:46:15.480 --> 00:46:17.159 which by the way, were happening at like two and 954 00:46:17.159 --> 00:46:22.400 a half carjackings per day, and that was down dramatically. 955 00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:26.679 Carjackings have ceased to exist in Washington, DC because they've 956 00:46:26.679 --> 00:46:29.039 got all these federal forces there. They've they freed up 957 00:46:29.079 --> 00:46:32.079 law enforcement officers to go and actually arrest the bad criminals. 958 00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:35.360 And now all of a sudden, there's no crime. And 959 00:46:35.519 --> 00:46:36.760 yet when Donald Trump. 960 00:46:36.599 --> 00:46:40.800 Says two democratic mayors, democratic democratic governors, hey, guys, if 961 00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:43.480 you need it, we can bring the National Guard in, 962 00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:47.400 the Democrats are like, Nope, crime is just fine, especially 963 00:46:47.480 --> 00:46:49.800 in Charlotte where a young lady just got stabbed in 964 00:46:49.880 --> 00:46:50.199 the neck. 965 00:46:51.679 --> 00:46:52.480 It's insane. 966 00:46:53.039 --> 00:46:55.320 But Axios, listen to this from Axios. This made me 967 00:46:55.400 --> 00:46:58.760 kind of laugh out loud today. I'm not exaggerating. Mad 968 00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:03.480 influencers on repeated attention to violent attacks to elevate the 969 00:47:03.559 --> 00:47:08.079 issue of urban crime, and accused mainstream media of undercovering 970 00:47:08.199 --> 00:47:10.880 shocking cases. By the way, the mainstream media has not 971 00:47:10.960 --> 00:47:14.480 covered this story at all. As I said before, They're like, oh, 972 00:47:14.679 --> 00:47:19.920 local story, we don't care, and then they go on 973 00:47:20.239 --> 00:47:23.239 driving the news. President Trump asked about the Charlotte video 974 00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:26.000 by reporter on Sunday said he wanted to find out 975 00:47:26.079 --> 00:47:29.480 more about the stabbing before commenting. Now, that sentence right 976 00:47:29.639 --> 00:47:32.840 there completely undermines everything that actually US is trying to 977 00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:36.840 say that somehow Republicans have seized on this crime. Isn't 978 00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:38.880 that what they're implying here? But Trump didn't take the 979 00:47:38.920 --> 00:47:40.840 baby's like, look, you know what, I don't know all 980 00:47:40.840 --> 00:47:46.599 the details. All know everything by tomorrow. So yeah, yeah, 981 00:47:46.719 --> 00:47:48.199 this is going to be a thing that people are 982 00:47:48.239 --> 00:47:52.599 talking about because why is this okay at any level, 983 00:47:52.719 --> 00:47:56.239 on any any any way or shape or form. Why 984 00:47:56.360 --> 00:47:59.800 wouldn't JB. Pritsker say, you know what, we'd love to 985 00:47:59.840 --> 00:48:02.880 get yet, we'd love to get the National Guard to 986 00:48:02.920 --> 00:48:05.360 come into the dangerous areas of Chicago, not just the 987 00:48:05.440 --> 00:48:09.000 tourist zones, but the dangerous areas to protect the people 988 00:48:09.079 --> 00:48:12.639 that are victimized by crimes every single day. My big 989 00:48:12.760 --> 00:48:15.519 beef with what's going on in Washington, DC is apparently 990 00:48:16.000 --> 00:48:19.519 it's only in the tourist areas, It's not in the 991 00:48:19.599 --> 00:48:23.039 highest crime parts of Washington, d C. Don't the people 992 00:48:23.079 --> 00:48:25.960 that live there deserve to feel safe too, not just tourists. 993 00:48:26.440 --> 00:48:28.079 Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they're doing it for 994 00:48:28.159 --> 00:48:32.440 the tourists. But I wouldn't it be great if the 995 00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:34.159 Democrats said, yeah, we'd like to send you into the 996 00:48:34.239 --> 00:48:36.719 highest crime areas in Chicago and help us really do 997 00:48:36.840 --> 00:48:37.960 some significant work. 998 00:48:38.039 --> 00:48:41.000 But they don't. They stand there and save crimes. Not 999 00:48:41.159 --> 00:48:41.559 that bad. 1000 00:48:41.679 --> 00:48:44.039 It's not that it's in a thirty year low. People 1001 00:48:44.039 --> 00:48:48.800 are still gett murdered every day. Ah, those are acceptable statistics. 1002 00:48:49.519 --> 00:48:53.920 And in Chicago, overwhelmingly everybody being killed is black. Ah, 1003 00:48:54.280 --> 00:48:55.679 They're just black people being killed. 1004 00:48:55.719 --> 00:48:57.960 Not that big of ill. We'll accept a few of those. 1005 00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:01.360 And it's getting a horder and harder for them to 1006 00:49:01.440 --> 00:49:03.360 make that argument, because when you see video of this 1007 00:49:03.480 --> 00:49:06.960 young woman being stabbed by a career criminal who's also 1008 00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:09.719 wildly mentally ill, should not have been on the streets, 1009 00:49:10.039 --> 00:49:12.519 it gets hard to ask, why aren't we taking the 1010 00:49:12.599 --> 00:49:17.679 National Guard? Why aren't we doing these things? And you know, 1011 00:49:18.119 --> 00:49:21.400 we'll see how all this turns out. I don't think, 1012 00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:23.960 by the way, just to be clear, I do not 1013 00:49:24.199 --> 00:49:26.519 believe that the President of the United States has the 1014 00:49:26.599 --> 00:49:31.440 authority to send the National Guard into anywhere else for 1015 00:49:31.599 --> 00:49:36.639 any kind of law enforcement duties except for Washington, DC. 1016 00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:40.960 He can totally do it if governors ask. But if 1017 00:49:41.000 --> 00:49:44.119 he just sends them in to not support federal operations, 1018 00:49:44.199 --> 00:49:47.039 which he did in LA, then he has no right 1019 00:49:47.119 --> 00:49:48.880 to do that. But I don't think he's doing that yet. 1020 00:49:49.760 --> 00:49:52.199 Fascinating and terrible story all at once. 1021 00:49:53.719 --> 00:49:59.559 Tonight Rockies Dodgers on the official home of the Rockies. 1022 00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:06.159 This next text intrigues me. Uh, Mandy, ask me anything Monday. Technically, 1023 00:50:06.199 --> 00:50:08.079 it's not asked me anything Monday because I didn't declare it, 1024 00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:11.280 but I will allow it because I'm intrigued by this text. Mandy, 1025 00:50:11.320 --> 00:50:15.800 neighbor moved into assisted living, has an upright piano. Do 1026 00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:18.559 you know anyone that we can donate it to school 1027 00:50:18.599 --> 00:50:21.400 that has music classes student that could use it? 1028 00:50:21.519 --> 00:50:24.880 Any suggestions? Love your show? Thanks now, Texter. 1029 00:50:25.440 --> 00:50:28.760 I'm gonna tell you to email me Mandy Connell at 1030 00:50:28.840 --> 00:50:33.360 iHeartMedia dot com. And then if you want an upright piano, 1031 00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:37.840 I will tell you whoever you are to text me 1032 00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:41.039 Mandy Connell at iHeartMedia dot com. 1033 00:50:41.320 --> 00:50:43.199 Uh, do you want a piano? 1034 00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:43.440 No? 1035 00:50:43.599 --> 00:50:44.239 But I have a question. 1036 00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:46.840 Well, obviously I recognize what these are, but why is 1037 00:50:46.840 --> 00:50:48.119 it called an upright piano? 1038 00:50:50.000 --> 00:50:50.599 It's just yeah? 1039 00:50:50.719 --> 00:50:52.519 Instead of going out like a grand piano. 1040 00:50:52.639 --> 00:50:54.239 It just is one of those that looks like you 1041 00:50:54.280 --> 00:50:56.000 know how you see in a Western movie they're always 1042 00:50:56.039 --> 00:51:00.199 plinking on a piano. Yeah, that's an upright piano. The 1043 00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:03.760 strings and keys are in the in the back right now. Yeah, 1044 00:51:04.039 --> 00:51:06.000 that's very very common. As a matter of fact, I 1045 00:51:06.039 --> 00:51:08.960 would venture I guess that most in home pianos are 1046 00:51:09.119 --> 00:51:11.760 upright pianos. Yes, because the strings and the keys are 1047 00:51:11.840 --> 00:51:14.480 like this instead of like that got you. You guys 1048 00:51:14.519 --> 00:51:16.159 couldn't see. I held my arms up. 1049 00:51:16.440 --> 00:51:17.840 Yeah that was just for me. I get it though. 1050 00:51:17.920 --> 00:51:18.079 Yeah. 1051 00:51:18.400 --> 00:51:21.079 Yeah, what color is it? Look at you being picky 1052 00:51:21.159 --> 00:51:21.880 with a free piano? 1053 00:51:22.119 --> 00:51:25.599 Oh I'm not. I don't want colors. Hopefully they'll email 1054 00:51:25.679 --> 00:51:29.000 me and I'll have more information. So there you go. 1055 00:51:31.679 --> 00:51:34.599 This is really interesting and this just came across my desk, 1056 00:51:34.679 --> 00:51:36.760 so I'm going to jump in here. This from the 1057 00:51:36.800 --> 00:51:40.239 Denver Post about a Magellan Strategies poll. 1058 00:51:41.960 --> 00:51:43.320 It's it's not that good. 1059 00:51:44.400 --> 00:51:48.039 Colorado voters are sort of over politics, and this is 1060 00:51:48.159 --> 00:51:54.400 actually worse for the Democrats right now than the Republicans. 1061 00:51:56.639 --> 00:52:00.159 It really didn't farewell. US Senators Michael Bennett, Johnick, and 1062 00:52:00.239 --> 00:52:04.360 Looper They each notched approval ratings below forty percent in 1063 00:52:04.480 --> 00:52:08.280 the poll, with their disapproval ratings reaching forty four and 1064 00:52:08.440 --> 00:52:11.360 forty nine percent, respectively, forty four for Bennett, forty nine 1065 00:52:11.440 --> 00:52:16.679 for hiccken Looper gared polis approval later rating was slightly 1066 00:52:16.840 --> 00:52:21.400 better at forty one percent, but a majority of the 1067 00:52:21.480 --> 00:52:26.599 voters fifty two percent outright disapproved of the term limited governor. 1068 00:52:27.000 --> 00:52:32.119 Not good news for a guy with presidential aspirations. Republican 1069 00:52:32.199 --> 00:52:36.440 and Democratic parties had identical top line favorabilities sixty eight 1070 00:52:36.559 --> 00:52:41.639 percent negative versus thirty percent positive, and it's just not 1071 00:52:41.760 --> 00:52:45.960 looking good by more than two to one margins. Colorado 1072 00:52:46.039 --> 00:52:49.199 voters survey didn't feel good about the Democratic Party. The 1073 00:52:49.320 --> 00:52:52.320 disdain was shared by many Democratic voters. Among those who 1074 00:52:52.400 --> 00:52:55.320 voted for Kamala Harris for president last year, forty seven 1075 00:52:55.440 --> 00:52:59.960 percent reported unfavorable opinions of registered Democrats. Forty one percent 1076 00:53:00.400 --> 00:53:05.840 reported unfavorable opinions of their party. An anonymous Democratic woman 1077 00:53:05.920 --> 00:53:09.280 in a Rapahoe County characterized it inner survey response, the 1078 00:53:09.400 --> 00:53:13.239 party has quote no backbone, no follow through, poor or 1079 00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:17.239 no response to both mundane and gripping issues, but don't 1080 00:53:17.280 --> 00:53:20.000 think this is going to be a smooth sailing for. 1081 00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:25.320 The GOP because the GOP. Let's see here. 1082 00:53:27.960 --> 00:53:33.880 Loop unaffiliated voters feel the same about the GOP. Now 1083 00:53:34.280 --> 00:53:36.400 I'm trying to read. I'm reading a Denver Post article. 1084 00:53:36.440 --> 00:53:38.719 I haven't been able to click through to the actual 1085 00:53:38.840 --> 00:53:39.519 polling data. 1086 00:53:41.320 --> 00:53:45.239 So if congressional elections. 1087 00:53:44.800 --> 00:53:48.719 Were held today, voters also give Democrats a clear advantage 1088 00:53:48.760 --> 00:53:52.039 in four of the state's eight congressional districts, the ones 1089 00:53:52.199 --> 00:53:53.800 currently represented by Democrats. 1090 00:53:53.840 --> 00:53:54.880 Those are all safe seats. 1091 00:53:55.840 --> 00:53:58.679 The smaller sample size at the district level, however, came 1092 00:53:58.760 --> 00:54:01.840 with large margins of a more than eight percentage points. Okay, 1093 00:54:01.920 --> 00:54:05.119 that just undermines everything about the poll. If your margin 1094 00:54:05.199 --> 00:54:08.840 of error is eight percentage points, don't don't even include that. 1095 00:54:09.360 --> 00:54:12.480 I just that's just basically like throw a dart at 1096 00:54:12.480 --> 00:54:15.840 a dartboard kind of thing. The party also held a 1097 00:54:15.920 --> 00:54:19.079 smaller edge for a fifth seat, and that was the 1098 00:54:19.360 --> 00:54:24.840 red fifth congressional district in Alpazo County. Forty seven percent 1099 00:54:24.920 --> 00:54:28.400 in voters said they would probably support the Democratic nominee there, 1100 00:54:28.519 --> 00:54:32.199 versus thirty nine percent for the Republican nominee. Now, in 1101 00:54:32.280 --> 00:54:35.000 twenty twenty four, Republican Jeff Crank won the seat with 1102 00:54:35.119 --> 00:54:36.599 nearly fifty five percent of the vote. 1103 00:54:36.760 --> 00:54:38.559 I don't understand how those numbers jibe. 1104 00:54:40.119 --> 00:54:47.280 The eighth shows a small advantage for the GOP, it 1105 00:54:47.360 --> 00:54:50.719 doesn't crack fifty percent. The fourth Congressional district looks to 1106 00:54:50.800 --> 00:54:56.199 remain read with THEIRS leaning Republican by twenty points, so 1107 00:54:56.360 --> 00:54:57.119 that neither. 1108 00:54:56.960 --> 00:54:58.039 Party is in a good way. 1109 00:54:58.760 --> 00:55:02.480 Neither party has has great numbers to grow about. 1110 00:55:03.280 --> 00:55:05.480 But I think for Democrats this has to be kind 1111 00:55:05.480 --> 00:55:10.519 of concerning because their democratic law in the state. Anything 1112 00:55:10.559 --> 00:55:14.039 that sort of undermines that has got to be caused 1113 00:55:14.079 --> 00:55:18.559 for concerned because right now they I mean, we just 1114 00:55:18.599 --> 00:55:21.360 saw it again in the special session. They have paid 1115 00:55:21.519 --> 00:55:23.440 no mind to anybody on the other side of the 1116 00:55:23.440 --> 00:55:26.519 aisle because they haven't had to. They've been able to 1117 00:55:26.679 --> 00:55:31.320 ignore Republicans. But now that even Democrats are saying, yeah, 1118 00:55:31.360 --> 00:55:33.519 we're not happy. And don't get me wrong, I don't 1119 00:55:33.519 --> 00:55:37.960 think there's any chance in hell that Democrats in Colorado 1120 00:55:38.920 --> 00:55:41.360 will vote for a Republican. I just don't see it happening. 1121 00:55:41.800 --> 00:55:47.000 But we are now a majority independent state. We are 1122 00:55:47.039 --> 00:55:51.760 now over fifty percent of independence last I checked. So 1123 00:55:51.880 --> 00:55:54.519 what are the independents going to do if the Democrats 1124 00:55:54.599 --> 00:55:57.880 don't even like their party, what about what about the independence? 1125 00:55:58.079 --> 00:56:00.800 Now we already know the Republican. 1126 00:56:00.480 --> 00:56:03.679 Party has an image issue here that hopefully most people 1127 00:56:03.760 --> 00:56:08.119 are going to be able to look beyond with new leadership. 1128 00:56:09.000 --> 00:56:09.880 Well, we'll have to see. 1129 00:56:10.800 --> 00:56:13.199 That's kind of I think that's concerning if you're a 1130 00:56:13.239 --> 00:56:16.679 Democrat in Colorado. And good news, however, slight good news, 1131 00:56:16.719 --> 00:56:19.039 but good news nonetheless for the Republican Party. 1132 00:56:19.239 --> 00:56:21.760 Many of you weighing in on the upright piano. 1133 00:56:23.159 --> 00:56:23.840 Laugh out loud. 1134 00:56:23.880 --> 00:56:25.599 I'm gonna have to pay a piano company to come 1135 00:56:25.639 --> 00:56:28.199 get my piano. No one wants these pianos, That's true. 1136 00:56:29.039 --> 00:56:31.119 Kids are not taking music lessons like they used to. 1137 00:56:32.440 --> 00:56:32.719 Mandy. 1138 00:56:32.840 --> 00:56:35.760 My guess is that most in home pianos are spinets, 1139 00:56:36.119 --> 00:56:38.840 which is a short version of the upright piano. You 1140 00:56:38.920 --> 00:56:40.760 know what, maybe it's just the people I know, the 1141 00:56:40.840 --> 00:56:43.360 people that I know that at pianos they all have uprights. 1142 00:56:44.679 --> 00:56:46.639 I know one family with a spinet, which is just 1143 00:56:46.719 --> 00:56:52.559 a low piano. Upright piano equals wild West grand piano 1144 00:56:52.719 --> 00:56:54.039 equals recital piano. 1145 00:56:55.440 --> 00:57:00.239 There you go, There you go, Manny. 1146 00:57:00.360 --> 00:57:03.480 What's suppressing is that Democrat Party voters, particularly the base, 1147 00:57:03.920 --> 00:57:06.880 want the Democrat to Party to be even bigger a holes. 1148 00:57:08.519 --> 00:57:12.719 Don't kid yourself. Yes, you're absolutely right, Texter, one hundred percent. 1149 00:57:13.800 --> 00:57:17.760 Although you saw in the last primary elections the worst 1150 00:57:17.960 --> 00:57:20.000 of the worst of the Democratic Party in the form 1151 00:57:20.039 --> 00:57:23.119 of Tim Hernandez and Elizabeth Epps. They lost in the primary, 1152 00:57:24.599 --> 00:57:27.920 and they were as far left as anybody could be, right, 1153 00:57:29.199 --> 00:57:32.559 and they lost Democratic vote. Well, maybe Democratic voters and 1154 00:57:32.599 --> 00:57:36.480 independence didn't think about the independence There There are a 1155 00:57:36.639 --> 00:57:39.320 large I don't know how large. I used to think 1156 00:57:39.360 --> 00:57:41.960 it was larger than it is. The more Republicans that 1157 00:57:42.039 --> 00:57:44.039 I meet in the state of Colorado, the more I 1158 00:57:44.199 --> 00:57:47.800 realized that the Fringy part, the Rhino Watch part, they 1159 00:57:47.880 --> 00:57:51.239 do not represent a large chunk of the Republican Party. 1160 00:57:52.480 --> 00:57:54.840 A lot of the Republicans I've met as as late 1161 00:57:55.039 --> 00:57:59.800 are just Republicans who want to hopefully save Colorado from 1162 00:57:59.840 --> 00:58:03.159 being the nightmare that it has turned into with the 1163 00:58:03.239 --> 00:58:05.079 cost of living and all of the other stuff that's 1164 00:58:05.119 --> 00:58:10.000 gone on. But that loud and vocal Rhino Watch minority 1165 00:58:10.519 --> 00:58:11.920 they want you to think they're everybody. 1166 00:58:12.000 --> 00:58:13.519 They are clearly not everybody. 1167 00:58:15.239 --> 00:58:15.519 Mandy. 1168 00:58:15.559 --> 00:58:17.679 A lot of the independents are Republicans who don't want 1169 00:58:17.719 --> 00:58:20.159 to be targeted by Dems, and a lot of independence 1170 00:58:20.199 --> 00:58:20.800 are Dems. 1171 00:58:20.599 --> 00:58:22.360 Who just don't want to be asked for money. 1172 00:58:23.119 --> 00:58:26.039 I mean, independents have a lot of different reasons for 1173 00:58:26.159 --> 00:58:29.599 being independent, not the least of which is they don't 1174 00:58:29.599 --> 00:58:32.400 want everybody asking them for money. Mandy donates the piano 1175 00:58:32.559 --> 00:58:37.159 to a local school. That is a great idea. Text or, 1176 00:58:37.159 --> 00:58:38.920 if you're still listening, I would call all of the 1177 00:58:39.000 --> 00:58:41.199 local schools in your area and just say, you guys 1178 00:58:41.239 --> 00:58:44.320 need a piano. I wonder if any of them would 1179 00:58:44.320 --> 00:58:48.159 take it. We'll see, We'll be right back. I thought 1180 00:58:48.199 --> 00:58:49.719 i'd let the rest of you hear what I was 1181 00:58:49.760 --> 00:58:52.960 going to say. The text messenger says Mandy, the cost 1182 00:58:53.039 --> 00:58:56.800 of living increase isn't primarily political. It has to do 1183 00:58:56.880 --> 00:58:59.880 with planes, supply and demand economics. We can go back 1184 00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:02.719 and forth over government policy, but the main drivers of 1185 00:59:02.800 --> 00:59:05.800 that are well off people and young people want to 1186 00:59:05.880 --> 00:59:09.440 move here for recreation and job opportunities. You see similar 1187 00:59:09.519 --> 00:59:15.039 cost of living spikes in nearby Utah, which is solidly Republican. Okay, this, 1188 00:59:15.360 --> 00:59:17.599 on the face of it is patently absurd, and I'm 1189 00:59:17.599 --> 00:59:20.360 gonna tell you why, because yes, supply and demand is 1190 00:59:20.400 --> 00:59:22.880 a huge part of it. Absolutely, people want to live here. 1191 00:59:23.000 --> 00:59:25.519 I moved here in twenty thirteen because I love the 1192 00:59:25.599 --> 00:59:28.039 state and thought it was absolutely beautiful. But since I 1193 00:59:28.199 --> 00:59:31.480 moved here in twenty thirteen, let's be real about some 1194 00:59:31.599 --> 00:59:33.320 of the stuff that Colorado has done. And as a 1195 00:59:33.360 --> 00:59:36.079 matter of fact, I just pulled up, using chet GPT 1196 00:59:37.079 --> 00:59:41.559 a summary cost of living comparison for Utah and Colorado. Okay, 1197 00:59:43.920 --> 00:59:48.159 Utah has seen huge increases in their homeowners insurance rates 1198 00:59:48.199 --> 00:59:50.400 and things like that because of natural disasters, just as 1199 00:59:50.480 --> 00:59:53.400 we have here. Their home insurance costs have spiked fifty 1200 00:59:53.519 --> 00:59:57.679 nine percent. However, the rest of what's going on in 1201 00:59:57.840 --> 01:00:02.320 Utah looks much different than what's going on here in Colorado. Now, 1202 01:00:02.880 --> 01:00:04.320 if I were going to run for governor, one of 1203 01:00:04.360 --> 01:00:07.719 the platforms in my plank would be as governor, i 1204 01:00:07.800 --> 01:00:10.800 am going to demand a full review. 1205 01:00:10.719 --> 01:00:13.599 Of every single new housing. 1206 01:00:13.280 --> 01:00:16.440 Requirement that has been passed by the Colorado Legislature with 1207 01:00:16.639 --> 01:00:19.960 an actual fiscal note of how much those regulations cost. 1208 01:00:20.280 --> 01:00:23.119 And then I'm going to ask the legislature to go 1209 01:00:23.239 --> 01:00:26.880 back and unwind the most costly, least effective regulations that 1210 01:00:26.960 --> 01:00:29.280 we have on the books. We just saw this when 1211 01:00:29.320 --> 01:00:32.159 people were trying to rebuild homes in Lewisville and Superior 1212 01:00:32.239 --> 01:00:34.280 after the fire, only be told that they have to 1213 01:00:34.360 --> 01:00:36.960 do everything electric, they have to do everything the way 1214 01:00:37.039 --> 01:00:39.599 the government wants you to do it. The more government 1215 01:00:39.679 --> 01:00:43.760 regulation you have, the more expensive everything is going to be. 1216 01:00:44.280 --> 01:00:47.639 And Colorado has seen an explosion in. 1217 01:00:47.679 --> 01:00:51.719 Our regulatory structure so severe that it has downgraded our 1218 01:00:51.760 --> 01:00:54.119 business friendliness from one of the best places in the 1219 01:00:54.159 --> 01:00:56.280 country to do business to now one of the most 1220 01:00:56.400 --> 01:01:00.480 middling places. Right with the regulatory sure we have in 1221 01:01:00.519 --> 01:01:05.199 Colorado adds to pricing on everything. We have the highest 1222 01:01:05.519 --> 01:01:09.079 the highest restaurant inflation in the country. Now we're seeing 1223 01:01:09.079 --> 01:01:12.360 more and more stories of really popular and famous restaurant 1224 01:01:12.400 --> 01:01:15.800 tours saying I will never open another business in the 1225 01:01:15.880 --> 01:01:19.280 Denver metro because it is so expensive and so hard 1226 01:01:19.320 --> 01:01:19.960 to deal with them. 1227 01:01:20.840 --> 01:01:22.679 All of these things combine. 1228 01:01:22.800 --> 01:01:25.000 Whether it is the faster fees that we're going to 1229 01:01:25.039 --> 01:01:27.079 fix all the roads which did nothing of the sort 1230 01:01:27.159 --> 01:01:31.800 because they've redirected all that money into dumbass multimodal systems 1231 01:01:31.800 --> 01:01:36.000 that nobody wants to ride, or force minimum wages that 1232 01:01:36.079 --> 01:01:40.960 have driven up the cost of everything. Policy matters so much, 1233 01:01:41.360 --> 01:01:43.960 and in a situation like ours, supply and demand is 1234 01:01:44.119 --> 01:01:47.039 absolutely a part of it, absolutely a part of it. 1235 01:01:47.559 --> 01:01:49.800 But I would argue that the government has made it 1236 01:01:50.000 --> 01:01:54.079 far worse with all of their nanny stadium statism, all 1237 01:01:54.119 --> 01:01:55.719 of their you have to do it our way or 1238 01:01:55.760 --> 01:01:56.599 the highway. 1239 01:01:56.519 --> 01:01:58.000 About a myriad of issues. 1240 01:01:58.679 --> 01:02:03.760 You cannot disconnect what has happened in Colorado, especially politically, 1241 01:02:04.440 --> 01:02:06.760 from what has happened to our economy. At the same time, 1242 01:02:08.119 --> 01:02:10.239 just ten years ago, we had one of the most 1243 01:02:10.320 --> 01:02:13.440 vibrant economies in the country. Businesses were clamoring to come 1244 01:02:13.519 --> 01:02:15.000 here because of all those things you said. 1245 01:02:15.960 --> 01:02:16.679 But now you have. 1246 01:02:16.760 --> 01:02:20.360 Business leaders on a regular basis saying that the regulatory 1247 01:02:20.440 --> 01:02:23.239 burden in Colorado is so great that I am not 1248 01:02:23.400 --> 01:02:26.320 looking to expand my footprint in Colorado. I am looking 1249 01:02:26.440 --> 01:02:30.440 elsewhere where it's easier to do business. Chef Troy Gard 1250 01:02:30.519 --> 01:02:32.760 of the Tag Group, which owns so many properties here 1251 01:02:32.760 --> 01:02:36.480 it's not even funny, has said he is done with Colorado. 1252 01:02:37.559 --> 01:02:38.920 So all of this matters. 1253 01:02:40.000 --> 01:02:42.440 It's not just supply and demand. And if you believe that, 1254 01:02:42.559 --> 01:02:47.320 then you're probably going to vote Democrat. You've bought their 1255 01:02:47.440 --> 01:02:49.880 line and without paying attention to anything else. 1256 01:02:50.639 --> 01:02:52.119 And I don't mean to be. 1257 01:02:52.239 --> 01:02:55.880 Dismissive or disparaging to you, Texter, because I think there's 1258 01:02:55.920 --> 01:02:59.239 probably a lot of people who genuinely believe that, just 1259 01:02:59.400 --> 01:03:02.719 like they believe Eve when politicians in Colorado say, wow, 1260 01:03:02.880 --> 01:03:05.159 you know crime is a problem everywhere, not just here, 1261 01:03:05.599 --> 01:03:08.440 until you see the FBI statistic that put us at 1262 01:03:08.599 --> 01:03:12.719 number one for violent crime. Did you ever think those 1263 01:03:12.760 --> 01:03:15.119 words would come out of my mouth? I sure didn't 1264 01:03:15.119 --> 01:03:17.159 when I moved here thirteen years ago, and I used 1265 01:03:17.159 --> 01:03:20.920 to tell people how safe it felt.

We'll do that a little bit later. 1284 01:04:21.039 --> 01:04:22.719 But I got a lot of stuff on the blog 1285 01:04:22.760 --> 01:04:25.840 that I want to get to today, including this story 1286 01:04:26.119 --> 01:04:27.039 about what we're. 1287 01:04:27.000 --> 01:04:30.159 Calling the Phillies Karen ball snatcher. 1288 01:04:31.400 --> 01:04:36.400 What's remarkable to me is that the Internet has not identified. 1289 01:04:35.719 --> 01:04:36.440 This woman yet. 1290 01:04:37.360 --> 01:04:42.519 That's shocking because we have very clear video about this woman. 1291 01:04:42.880 --> 01:04:44.320 She has not been identified. 1292 01:04:44.360 --> 01:04:47.519 They identified another woman who said, look, not only am 1293 01:04:47.559 --> 01:04:49.880 I not a Phillies fan, I was in Miami during 1294 01:04:49.920 --> 01:04:53.880 this game. So it's not me Plausible deniability being a thing. 1295 01:04:54.039 --> 01:04:57.119 She certainly has it. So someone actually asked the dad 1296 01:04:58.840 --> 01:05:03.119 who eventually handed the ball took the ball, if you 1297 01:05:03.199 --> 01:05:05.840 don't know this story, first of all, congratulations for living 1298 01:05:05.920 --> 01:05:08.079 under a social media rock and not knowing. 1299 01:05:07.960 --> 01:05:12.079 Any of this stuff. But what happened. 1300 01:05:12.119 --> 01:05:16.199 What happened was there is a home run ball and 1301 01:05:16.320 --> 01:05:19.559 it is hit into the stands. Now a rod back 1302 01:05:19.639 --> 01:05:22.760 me up here. So when a ball is hit into 1303 01:05:22.800 --> 01:05:25.079 the stands. It's a free for all, right, there's no 1304 01:05:25.400 --> 01:05:29.639 like you don't get to call dibbs. There's no it's mine, No, 1305 01:05:30.000 --> 01:05:32.360 it is whoever comes out of the scrum with the. 1306 01:05:32.400 --> 01:05:33.320 Ball in their hand. 1307 01:05:34.000 --> 01:05:37.480 Correct, usually a slight edge to children, but correct, I mean, 1308 01:05:37.519 --> 01:05:39.920 decent people make sure that children get these balls. 1309 01:05:40.000 --> 01:05:43.079 But not this woman anyway. So what's happening is the 1310 01:05:43.199 --> 01:05:43.760 ball is hit. 1311 01:05:44.000 --> 01:05:48.480 Dad runs over and he reaches down to the ground, 1312 01:05:48.719 --> 01:05:51.000 and this is important to the ground to pick up 1313 01:05:51.039 --> 01:05:52.679 the ball. He picks up the ball, he brings it 1314 01:05:52.719 --> 01:05:55.960 back to his kid. Now Here comes Philly Karen. We 1315 01:05:56.039 --> 01:05:58.360 don't know her real name, we're just calling her Philly Karen, 1316 01:05:58.440 --> 01:05:59.119 ball snatcher. 1317 01:06:00.239 --> 01:06:01.320 She comes running over. 1318 01:06:01.400 --> 01:06:04.960 Now she is in the row behind where the ball 1319 01:06:05.079 --> 01:06:08.119 eventually hit the ground, which means, you, guys, if you've 1320 01:06:08.159 --> 01:06:10.880 ever been in a baseball stadium, you know that lady 1321 01:06:11.039 --> 01:06:12.559 is not at all going to be able to get 1322 01:06:12.639 --> 01:06:14.679 that ball on the ground in the row in front 1323 01:06:14.719 --> 01:06:14.960 of her. 1324 01:06:15.840 --> 01:06:17.039 It's not gonna happen. 1325 01:06:18.039 --> 01:06:20.000 She missed her window when she didn't reach out and. 1326 01:06:20.039 --> 01:06:22.719 Catch it, which, by the way, she could have wish 1327 01:06:22.760 --> 01:06:26.280 she didn't. Now Here comes Philly Karen over to the dad. 1328 01:06:26.360 --> 01:06:29.559 The kid's his son, who by the way, it was 1329 01:06:29.599 --> 01:06:34.760 a birthday president taking him to the game, and Philly 1330 01:06:34.840 --> 01:06:38.079 Kieren runs over and starts just bitching this guy out, 1331 01:06:39.760 --> 01:06:44.079 and NBC ten at Philadelphia finally tracked down the dad, 1332 01:06:44.840 --> 01:06:48.199 his name is Drew felt Well, and they said why 1333 01:06:48.320 --> 01:06:51.320 did you give the ball to this woman? And he 1334 01:06:51.440 --> 01:06:53.440 said I pretty much just wanted her to go away. 1335 01:06:54.880 --> 01:06:57.079 And I was like, I get it, Dad, I get it. 1336 01:06:57.639 --> 01:07:02.159 But then he continued, and he's absolutely right when he says, look, 1337 01:07:02.199 --> 01:07:04.039 I had a couple options. None of them were good, 1338 01:07:04.679 --> 01:07:08.199 Like what do I show my kid that I'm gonna 1339 01:07:08.199 --> 01:07:11.199 sit here and argue with an old woman to try 1340 01:07:11.239 --> 01:07:12.880 and get the ball back? Or am I gonna show 1341 01:07:13.519 --> 01:07:17.559 him that this is we de escalate, We just you know, 1342 01:07:17.679 --> 01:07:19.960 take care of the situation out. He got a lot 1343 01:07:20.000 --> 01:07:23.800 of crap online for this, but I think as a dad, 1344 01:07:24.199 --> 01:07:27.199 that was probably the right thing to do. This woman, 1345 01:07:27.519 --> 01:07:29.800 on the other hand, is a horrible person, and the 1346 01:07:29.920 --> 01:07:31.559 internet has not been able to find out who she 1347 01:07:31.719 --> 01:07:32.000 is yet. 1348 01:07:33.679 --> 01:07:34.320 Oh they will. 1349 01:07:35.000 --> 01:07:38.159 The internet is like, you know, like ten and oher 1350 01:07:38.719 --> 01:07:40.119 on finding stuff like this out. 1351 01:07:41.320 --> 01:07:41.440 Now. 1352 01:07:41.480 --> 01:07:44.079 I have a couple stories. This one is only important 1353 01:07:44.079 --> 01:07:48.960 to my daughter and possibly me. Target is opening stores 1354 01:07:49.000 --> 01:07:54.320 at midnight yeah, on October third, to sell CDs of 1355 01:07:54.400 --> 01:07:57.960 her newest CD, Life of a Showgirl. So, if you 1356 01:07:58.039 --> 01:07:59.639 have a Swifty in your household, like I do, I 1357 01:07:59.719 --> 01:08:01.519 put a link to all the Colorado stores. 1358 01:08:02.239 --> 01:08:03.960 I've already circled the one closest near me. 1359 01:08:04.039 --> 01:08:08.679 Although, in what I can only describe as the coolest 1360 01:08:08.719 --> 01:08:13.320 thing ever, my daughter is vinyl only. Like now, I'll 1361 01:08:13.360 --> 01:08:15.960 just wait for the vinyl. I'll wait for the record 1362 01:08:16.159 --> 01:08:18.840 to come out. Everything that's old is new again, you guys, 1363 01:08:20.000 --> 01:08:25.640 everything ay rod Do you remember that? And I'm gonna 1364 01:08:25.640 --> 01:08:27.800 put it in air quotes that woman in the Olympics 1365 01:08:27.840 --> 01:08:29.520 that beat the crap out of all the other women 1366 01:08:29.640 --> 01:08:33.880 in Olympic boxing. Yes, do you remember her name? Ammaine 1367 01:08:34.079 --> 01:08:37.840 Khalif Yep? Well, and again the air quotes this woman. 1368 01:08:39.920 --> 01:08:43.960 She has now faced an uphill battle since her Olympic 1369 01:08:44.039 --> 01:08:46.840 victories of beating the crap out of women, and the 1370 01:08:46.960 --> 01:08:52.079 rules have changed and the international boxing organizations have now said, look, 1371 01:08:52.439 --> 01:08:54.359 if you're gonna fight in a women's category, we got 1372 01:08:54.479 --> 01:08:55.920 to do a cheek swab, We got to check out, 1373 01:08:55.960 --> 01:08:59.600 make see make sure their chromosomes are what they're supposed 1374 01:08:59.600 --> 01:09:05.479 to be, which is XX. In a decision that I'm 1375 01:09:05.479 --> 01:09:08.199 sure is going to shock all of you, this dude 1376 01:09:08.279 --> 01:09:11.760 is now refused to take a genetic test to prove 1377 01:09:11.840 --> 01:09:15.800 that this dude is actually a woman. Now, anybody with 1378 01:09:15.880 --> 01:09:18.520 eyeballs could tell you that this woman was not a woman. 1379 01:09:18.640 --> 01:09:23.319 She's a dude, or at least dude like, right, So 1380 01:09:23.439 --> 01:09:23.760 there's no. 1381 01:09:23.800 --> 01:09:24.359 Surprise at all. 1382 01:09:24.439 --> 01:09:27.359 She's refused. She's appealing. By the way, this is what 1383 01:09:27.439 --> 01:09:30.520 I love about this boxing organization. They not only said 1384 01:09:30.520 --> 01:09:33.000 from now on, if you want to fight in a 1385 01:09:33.039 --> 01:09:35.680 woman's category, you have to do this cheek swab and 1386 01:09:35.680 --> 01:09:39.680 we're gonna just do a quick DNA test. They also said, 1387 01:09:39.720 --> 01:09:42.600 and oh, by the way, if you're appealing or you 1388 01:09:42.680 --> 01:09:45.680 don't get to box while you're appealing either. So we'll 1389 01:09:45.720 --> 01:09:47.359 have to wait and see how this all turns out. 1390 01:09:47.399 --> 01:09:51.119 But I'm perfectly fine with excluding someone who cannot be 1391 01:09:51.239 --> 01:09:53.800 bothered to prove that they are a female from being 1392 01:09:53.800 --> 01:09:57.560 able to fight in female categories, especially in boxing, because 1393 01:09:57.600 --> 01:10:04.199 those matches were awful, horrible to watch. I mean, for 1394 01:10:04.319 --> 01:10:06.720 everybody that kept saying things like about. 1395 01:10:06.439 --> 01:10:09.000 The Philly Dad, like Philly Dudgeon had knocked her out. 1396 01:10:09.079 --> 01:10:10.680 I'm like, did you already We already saw a man 1397 01:10:10.760 --> 01:10:13.800 fighting women in the Olympics, and it's not cool. It's 1398 01:10:13.840 --> 01:10:16.359 not cool at all. By the way, thanks to the 1399 01:10:16.399 --> 01:10:20.239 person who just sent me. Although I believed it was coming, 1400 01:10:21.119 --> 01:10:24.279 now it's official. Senator Barbara Kirkmeyer has filed to run 1401 01:10:24.359 --> 01:10:27.520 for governor. She's got an announcement coming out tomorrow afternoon. 1402 01:10:27.920 --> 01:10:29.079 I'm gonna see if I can get her on the 1403 01:10:29.079 --> 01:10:31.119 show on Wednesday to talk about it. But I for 1404 01:10:31.239 --> 01:10:34.319 when am happy about this. I think Barb is so 1405 01:10:34.520 --> 01:10:37.760 incredibly smart. She knows the ins and outs and the 1406 01:10:37.800 --> 01:10:42.239 workings of this state. She can make a compelling case to, 1407 01:10:42.920 --> 01:10:44.760 you know, do the things that need to be done. 1408 01:10:44.880 --> 01:10:48.239 Like here's something crazy, why don't we spend transportation dollars 1409 01:10:48.600 --> 01:10:52.840 on roads. Things like that I think will resonate with voters, 1410 01:10:54.479 --> 01:10:57.039 and then you're gonna have like a white dude or 1411 01:10:57.079 --> 01:11:00.800 a woman to choose from. I mean, the deared police 1412 01:11:00.920 --> 01:11:03.479 versus Heidigan all thing. He was still gay, so in 1413 01:11:03.600 --> 01:11:06.520 the identity politics world, you're like, he's a white dude, 1414 01:11:06.600 --> 01:11:10.199 but he's gay. So I feel like I'm okay voting 1415 01:11:10.279 --> 01:11:13.920 for the white gay dude over the woman. I mean, 1416 01:11:14.000 --> 01:11:16.560 just in the identity politics world, and unfortunately there are 1417 01:11:16.560 --> 01:11:18.720 people who really do think like that. Okay, when we 1418 01:11:18.800 --> 01:11:23.800 get back, I've got news about beyond Meat, and if 1419 01:11:23.840 --> 01:11:27.600 you love beyond meat, you better stalk up. I've got 1420 01:11:27.760 --> 01:11:30.720 McDonald's starting a fast food price war and that's not 1421 01:11:30.800 --> 01:11:33.319 official yet, but just watch it. And we're gonna have 1422 01:11:33.359 --> 01:11:36.680 a moment on double dutch competitions and this one is 1423 01:11:37.399 --> 01:11:39.560 is artistry better than speed? 1424 01:11:40.319 --> 01:11:41.439 All of that coming up next. 1425 01:11:41.680 --> 01:11:46.960 Eleven people, including children and a baby, are missing after 1426 01:11:47.039 --> 01:11:52.000 a hippopotamus capsized a boat in the Ivory Coast. The 1427 01:11:52.119 --> 01:11:55.680 incident took place on the Sossandra River in Buyoi Bou 1428 01:11:55.800 --> 01:12:01.920 Yoh Bou Yoh, b u Yo buy on Friday. 1429 01:12:02.640 --> 01:12:04.039 Three confirmed survivors. 1430 01:12:04.239 --> 01:12:05.840 Now, you know, how do you? 1431 01:12:07.000 --> 01:12:08.640 I don't want that to be my cause of death. 1432 01:12:08.720 --> 01:12:10.880 What happened, Well, we got capsized by hippo. 1433 01:12:12.399 --> 01:12:14.520 I mean, I guess it's a thing. I just I 1434 01:12:14.680 --> 01:12:15.439 wanted you to know that. 1435 01:12:15.520 --> 01:12:17.439 If I know that, that's that's all there is to it. 1436 01:12:17.560 --> 01:12:20.119 If I know it, you're gonna know it. It's going 1437 01:12:20.199 --> 01:12:20.600 to happen. 1438 01:12:21.560 --> 01:12:24.600 Okay, guys, stories that I want you to know about. 1439 01:12:24.960 --> 01:12:27.319 McDonald's is starting what I'm sure is going to be 1440 01:12:27.359 --> 01:12:30.960 a fast food price war, because fast food is hurting 1441 01:12:31.079 --> 01:12:35.399 right now because their standard clientele middle class, lower middle 1442 01:12:35.439 --> 01:12:38.920 class people don't have any disposable income because everything else 1443 01:12:39.000 --> 01:12:42.800 is too expensive. And McDonald's took it on the chin 1444 01:12:44.039 --> 01:12:47.399 when somebody posted that their Big Mac happened. You know, 1445 01:12:47.439 --> 01:12:51.039 their Big Mac value meal was twenty bucks. So starting 1446 01:12:51.159 --> 01:12:56.239 today now, McDonald's is adding limited time extra value meals 1447 01:12:56.279 --> 01:12:59.439 to the offerings, including an eight dollars big Mac meal 1448 01:12:59.520 --> 01:13:01.560 that comes with medium fries and a medium soft drink, 1449 01:13:01.720 --> 01:13:04.239 and a five dollars sausage McMuffin with egg meal that 1450 01:13:04.319 --> 01:13:07.960 comes with hash browns and a small coffee. Additionally, a 1451 01:13:08.039 --> 01:13:11.840 few other menu items, including egg mcmuffins quarter pounders, can 1452 01:13:11.920 --> 01:13:15.800 also be ordered at as extra value meals and we'll 1453 01:13:15.840 --> 01:13:20.000 be prepared with the appropriate side item and beverage, representing 1454 01:13:20.039 --> 01:13:24.520 a fifteen percent savings. So we'll see what happens with 1455 01:13:24.680 --> 01:13:27.760 other fast food operations. But I gotta tell you, I 1456 01:13:27.840 --> 01:13:29.920 went through Panera the other day. I was running, I 1457 01:13:30.000 --> 01:13:31.800 had a bunch of stuff to do, and then I 1458 01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:34.640 have to go get my hair cut, and I just 1459 01:13:34.760 --> 01:13:36.239 needed something to kind of tide me over. 1460 01:13:36.359 --> 01:13:38.359 So I go through Panera and I get. 1461 01:13:38.279 --> 01:13:41.279 A cup of soup, a cup, not a bowl, not 1462 01:13:41.359 --> 01:13:44.119 the bread bowl, just a cup of soup, very simple, 1463 01:13:44.680 --> 01:13:46.479 no drink, cup of soup. 1464 01:13:47.039 --> 01:13:48.239 Eight bucks and fifty cents. 1465 01:13:49.359 --> 01:13:51.399 And I was like, well, Panera, you have seen my 1466 01:13:51.560 --> 01:13:54.880 last dollars, because that cup of soup is not remotely 1467 01:13:55.800 --> 01:13:58.880 worth eight dollars and fifty cents. Like, nothing about that 1468 01:13:59.000 --> 01:14:02.920 cup of soup was eight dollars and fifty cents. So yeah, 1469 01:14:03.000 --> 01:14:05.119 it's like staggering mode. You go to the grocery store, 1470 01:14:05.159 --> 01:14:08.359 don't you just kind of go, holy crap, how does 1471 01:14:08.399 --> 01:14:12.159 this little amount of food cost that much? But anyway, 1472 01:14:13.359 --> 01:14:16.520 bad news if you're a Beyond Meat fan. When I 1473 01:14:16.640 --> 01:14:20.520 tried the Beyond Meat Whopper, it wasn't bad, you know, 1474 01:14:20.640 --> 01:14:22.800 it wasn't it wasn't horrible, It didn't like it wasn't 1475 01:14:22.840 --> 01:14:23.560 like like that. 1476 01:14:23.760 --> 01:14:26.760 I mean it was it was fine, but not as 1477 01:14:26.800 --> 01:14:27.800 good as the beef whopper. 1478 01:14:28.600 --> 01:14:30.399 And apparently I am not alone. 1479 01:14:32.119 --> 01:14:35.319 Once the darling of the plant based food space, Beyond 1480 01:14:35.399 --> 01:14:39.600 Meat has suffered a precipitous decline in sales as consumer 1481 01:14:39.760 --> 01:14:45.319 consumption plunges. Economic uncertainty and concerns over the processed nature 1482 01:14:45.520 --> 01:14:48.960 of the offerings has push shoppers swords, wait for it, 1483 01:14:49.760 --> 01:14:54.960 cheaper animal options. They have about a billion dollars in 1484 01:14:55.079 --> 01:15:01.239 debt right now, over a billion dollars, and what's really 1485 01:15:01.359 --> 01:15:05.760 bad for them is that new research now suggests that 1486 01:15:05.880 --> 01:15:09.199 consuming meat is not associated with a higher risk of 1487 01:15:09.279 --> 01:15:13.960 death and may even protect against cancer related mortality. Recent 1488 01:15:14.079 --> 01:15:18.479 research from Canada's McMaster University revealed that animal source foods 1489 01:15:18.520 --> 01:15:21.880 are not linked to a higher risk of death. The 1490 01:15:21.960 --> 01:15:25.720 study discovered that animal proteins could also offer protective benefits 1491 01:15:26.119 --> 01:15:31.800 against cancer related mortality. Researchers analyzed data from sixteen thousand 1492 01:15:31.840 --> 01:15:34.840 adults age nineteen and older, considering how much animal and 1493 01:15:34.920 --> 01:15:38.920 plant protein they consumed. They also examined whether these diet 1494 01:15:38.960 --> 01:15:42.640 patterns were associated with risk of dyeing from causes such 1495 01:15:42.640 --> 01:15:43.119 as heart. 1496 01:15:43.039 --> 01:15:44.119 Disease or cancer. 1497 01:15:44.399 --> 01:15:48.199 The results revealed no increased risk of death in association 1498 01:15:48.359 --> 01:15:48.960 with eating. 1499 01:15:48.760 --> 01:15:49.760 More animal protein. 1500 01:15:50.159 --> 01:15:54.800 That data also showed a modest but significant reduction in 1501 01:15:55.000 --> 01:15:57.239 cancer related mortality. 1502 01:15:57.319 --> 01:15:59.880 If that is the case, yours truly is going to 1503 01:16:00.119 --> 01:16:00.960 last forever. 1504 01:16:02.920 --> 01:16:05.039 Also on the blog Today, I don't have time to 1505 01:16:05.079 --> 01:16:06.439 go into it right now, because we're gonna talk to 1506 01:16:06.520 --> 01:16:09.199 Christian Toto when we get back. A Rod sent me 1507 01:16:09.279 --> 01:16:13.399 a video of a double dutch jump rope competition that 1508 01:16:13.600 --> 01:16:15.760 was just like, all of these guys were on crack 1509 01:16:15.840 --> 01:16:18.079 and double dutching as fast as they can. A Rod 1510 01:16:18.119 --> 01:16:21.199 I responded with a video from America's Got Talent of 1511 01:16:21.359 --> 01:16:27.880 Japanese double Dutch, which is as much art and arabatics, aerobatics, 1512 01:16:27.920 --> 01:16:29.960 acrobatics as it is speed. 1513 01:16:30.079 --> 01:16:32.279 I prefer the second to the first. The speed just 1514 01:16:32.479 --> 01:16:33.119 made me tired. 1515 01:16:33.239 --> 01:16:36.800 Headline number one prominently displayed on the news media, Howard 1516 01:16:36.880 --> 01:16:40.920 Stern walks away from Serious XM after two decades, and 1517 01:16:41.000 --> 01:16:44.079 then right next to it, headline number two, Howard Stern 1518 01:16:44.159 --> 01:16:47.439 returns to SiriusXM radio show after trolling listeners. 1519 01:16:48.439 --> 01:16:50.359 Did they just troll the listeners news media? 1520 01:16:50.800 --> 01:16:51.600 I don't think they did. 1521 01:16:52.000 --> 01:16:57.079 Christian Toto shared a fawning Hollywood reporter story about Howard 1522 01:16:57.159 --> 01:17:00.359 Stern staying in it for all the right reasons, but 1523 01:17:00.439 --> 01:17:02.600 I don't think Christian was buying what they were selling. 1524 01:17:03.000 --> 01:17:04.479 And so he's on the show with me now to 1525 01:17:04.560 --> 01:17:05.039 talk about it. 1526 01:17:05.319 --> 01:17:10.039 Hello, my friend, Hello, Yeah, I'm an old school og 1527 01:17:10.279 --> 01:17:11.840 listener to Howard Stern. 1528 01:17:11.640 --> 01:17:11.720 So. 1529 01:17:13.319 --> 01:17:15.159 Proud to say it, but he is not what he 1530 01:17:15.319 --> 01:17:17.399 used to be. But I also think the media ain't 1531 01:17:17.399 --> 01:17:18.680 what it used to be either, which is kind of 1532 01:17:18.720 --> 01:17:20.239 interesting as well and actually part of the story. 1533 01:17:20.600 --> 01:17:23.159 So you know, we kind of went over this, and like, 1534 01:17:23.319 --> 01:17:26.159 I have this love hate relationship with Howard Stern, and 1535 01:17:26.239 --> 01:17:29.319 it goes way back as well, because my first real 1536 01:17:29.439 --> 01:17:33.479 gig was producing the Overnight Show, and on occasion I 1537 01:17:33.520 --> 01:17:37.000 would be drafted into staying to produce the Howard Stern Show, 1538 01:17:37.000 --> 01:17:38.520 which you would think would not be that bad. But 1539 01:17:38.680 --> 01:17:42.439 sometimes the Howard Stern Show went three hours, sometimes it 1540 01:17:42.520 --> 01:17:45.159 went five and a half hours. It was just whatever 1541 01:17:45.239 --> 01:17:47.720 Howard felt like doing that day, which on radio like 1542 01:17:47.840 --> 01:17:50.439 this is a nightmare, right because we have other shows 1543 01:17:50.479 --> 01:17:52.680 that are supposed to start. And then there is the 1544 01:17:52.720 --> 01:17:55.199 way that Howard Stern used to treat people on his show, 1545 01:17:55.359 --> 01:17:56.119 especially women. 1546 01:17:56.960 --> 01:17:58.439 He purely objectified women. 1547 01:17:58.600 --> 01:18:03.880 He did really cruel and nasty bits that were designed 1548 01:18:03.960 --> 01:18:06.920 to be cruel and nasty. And so I've had this 1549 01:18:07.119 --> 01:18:09.800 kind of relationship where I don't like the guy. But 1550 01:18:09.880 --> 01:18:12.439 then on the flip side, you see a guy who 1551 01:18:12.520 --> 01:18:15.079 has been so influential in my industry, a guy who 1552 01:18:15.159 --> 01:18:18.840 got a five hundred million dollar contract out of Serious XM. 1553 01:18:18.960 --> 01:18:21.880 So I have this, like, I admire his business acumen 1554 01:18:22.000 --> 01:18:23.760 and what he's accomplished, but I think it's a sad 1555 01:18:23.880 --> 01:18:26.720 commentary on what he did to accomplish those goals. 1556 01:18:26.840 --> 01:18:29.000 So here's where I am. That's long story short. 1557 01:18:29.079 --> 01:18:32.359 Yeap, No, No, that's it's fine, and I think it's 1558 01:18:32.479 --> 01:18:35.119 mostly fair. But I also think he was cruel to everyone, Yeah, 1559 01:18:35.399 --> 01:18:39.239 including himself, including his castmates there, so it was really 1560 01:18:39.479 --> 01:18:41.840 no holds barred they you know, he would make fun 1561 01:18:41.880 --> 01:18:46.960 of himself constantly, self deprecating anyone his crew is fair game. 1562 01:18:47.199 --> 01:18:49.279 So I think if you entered that orbit, you just 1563 01:18:49.439 --> 01:18:51.800 knew what you were getting. And you know, it's a 1564 01:18:51.840 --> 01:18:54.680 little bit like the current show Kill Tony with their 1565 01:18:54.800 --> 01:19:00.119 brutal on each other, the wannabe comedians, the fellow cast members, everyone. 1566 01:19:00.319 --> 01:19:01.800 But that's just part of it. 1567 01:19:01.960 --> 01:19:04.000 And if you don't want to join that, you just 1568 01:19:04.079 --> 01:19:06.680 don't join it. You know, if you're an actress and 1569 01:19:06.760 --> 01:19:08.920 you don't want to be owgle to ask some tough questions, 1570 01:19:08.960 --> 01:19:11.199 you don't go on the Howard Stern Show. So it 1571 01:19:11.359 --> 01:19:13.560 was a little you know, I think people knew what 1572 01:19:13.600 --> 01:19:16.159 they were getting into, and I think in retrospect off 1573 01:19:16.239 --> 01:19:18.319 and say, oh I was offended by that, or I 1574 01:19:18.319 --> 01:19:19.880 don't know why he treated me that way. Well, you 1575 01:19:19.960 --> 01:19:21.760 knew it was coming and you wanted the exposure. So 1576 01:19:22.640 --> 01:19:25.600 I'm a little defensive on that realm. And also, like 1577 01:19:25.720 --> 01:19:27.600 you said, it was so free for him. It was 1578 01:19:27.680 --> 01:19:30.359 so unexpurgated. He never knew what was going to happen, 1579 01:19:30.399 --> 01:19:33.520 and he often went long because the segment was killing it, 1580 01:19:33.600 --> 01:19:36.319 because the interview was great, because he and his cast 1581 01:19:36.399 --> 01:19:38.439 mates there were telling somebody that was really funny. They 1582 01:19:38.479 --> 01:19:41.600 had a vibe going, and as the listener, I didn't 1583 01:19:41.680 --> 01:19:44.560 care about, you know, oh my gosh, the commercial break 1584 01:19:44.680 --> 01:19:47.640 is getting destroyed. I just wanted to hear it. So 1585 01:19:48.119 --> 01:19:50.560 that that was my initial take on Howard from way 1586 01:19:50.600 --> 01:19:51.079 back when. 1587 01:19:51.119 --> 01:19:52.880 When did he completely go soft? 1588 01:19:53.359 --> 01:19:57.239 I mean, COVID absolutely broke the man completely, like I 1589 01:19:57.920 --> 01:20:01.199 have never seen anyone in the public eye I crumble 1590 01:20:01.840 --> 01:20:04.319 like he crumbled during COVID, refusing to leave his house 1591 01:20:04.640 --> 01:20:07.560 for how many years? I mean, really, it was very 1592 01:20:07.760 --> 01:20:11.760 sad because obviously there's some kind of deep seated anxiety 1593 01:20:11.880 --> 01:20:14.680 there that just got exacerbated by COVID. But it was 1594 01:20:14.760 --> 01:20:16.680 before that a lot of people were blaming his wife 1595 01:20:17.119 --> 01:20:18.079 for making him soft. 1596 01:20:19.720 --> 01:20:19.880 Yeah. 1597 01:20:19.920 --> 01:20:21.720 I mean he's been married to his second wife, Beth 1598 01:20:21.920 --> 01:20:24.720 for quite a while now, so I don't I don't 1599 01:20:24.720 --> 01:20:26.920 know how much impact. I think it's a combination. I 1600 01:20:27.000 --> 01:20:31.640 think it's COVID clearly. I mean, of all the public figures, 1601 01:20:31.680 --> 01:20:34.079 he was the most destroyed by that in many many ways. 1602 01:20:34.640 --> 01:20:36.680 I think it was the Trump Revolution. I don't think 1603 01:20:36.720 --> 01:20:39.319 he's handled that well now. But I also think, deep down, 1604 01:20:40.039 --> 01:20:43.359 Howard Stern really wanted to be loved. And you know, 1605 01:20:43.520 --> 01:20:46.680 I watched him aggressively, and I watched the media aggressively 1606 01:20:46.840 --> 01:20:49.680 cover him, and they hated Howard Stern and they made 1607 01:20:49.720 --> 01:20:52.479 no bones about it. And I think they always were waiting, Okay, 1608 01:20:52.760 --> 01:20:55.319 he's gonna get canceled, his rating's going to go down. 1609 01:20:55.439 --> 01:20:57.960 It's the time. He's just a shock chock, He's nothing more. 1610 01:20:58.520 --> 01:21:01.119 And I think he really really wanted to be loved. 1611 01:21:01.119 --> 01:21:03.800 And I think now he kisses up the Hollywood, he 1612 01:21:03.840 --> 01:21:05.960 kisses up to the Jimmy Kimmels of the world. Now 1613 01:21:06.119 --> 01:21:07.640 they love him in a way, and I think he's 1614 01:21:07.640 --> 01:21:10.319 always wanted that, and to be loved means you have 1615 01:21:10.399 --> 01:21:12.680 to let your guard down. You have to put away 1616 01:21:12.800 --> 01:21:17.239 the divisive comments, you have to not excoriate your fellow celebrities. 1617 01:21:17.600 --> 01:21:19.720 You've got to be nicer. And I think this version 1618 01:21:19.800 --> 01:21:22.520 of him is just wildly inauthentic, and it just is 1619 01:21:22.640 --> 01:21:23.920 not what he was at his best. 1620 01:21:24.159 --> 01:21:25.079 No, not at all. 1621 01:21:25.399 --> 01:21:27.880 And I can't say I've listened to a Howard Stern 1622 01:21:27.920 --> 01:21:29.920 show in over a decade, but I'm not in the 1623 01:21:30.000 --> 01:21:30.560 demo right. 1624 01:21:30.680 --> 01:21:32.560 He's not talking to me. He never has been. 1625 01:21:32.880 --> 01:21:35.560 Well, let's talk about this contract with Serious, because I 1626 01:21:35.600 --> 01:21:38.079 would say zero percent chance the Serious was going to 1627 01:21:38.119 --> 01:21:40.399 pony up another one hundred million a year, and we 1628 01:21:40.520 --> 01:21:43.520 haven't gotten any A's right understanding. A deal has not 1629 01:21:43.640 --> 01:21:44.359 been done yet. 1630 01:21:44.720 --> 01:21:47.239 Is that accurate? Are you read as well? 1631 01:21:47.399 --> 01:21:49.439 He was vague about it. It sounds like he wants 1632 01:21:49.479 --> 01:21:52.159 the deal to continue, a deal of some kind. He 1633 01:21:52.239 --> 01:21:54.399 wants to continue. He doesn't want to retire, So I 1634 01:21:54.439 --> 01:21:56.239 think it makes sense in many levels for him to 1635 01:21:56.359 --> 01:21:59.439 kind of continue where he is right now. I don't 1636 01:21:59.439 --> 01:22:01.479 think he has a fire in his belly to recommit 1637 01:22:01.560 --> 01:22:04.560 to a different platform or different idea or different concept. 1638 01:22:04.920 --> 01:22:07.720 So I think they'll hash something out. They may keep 1639 01:22:07.760 --> 01:22:10.039 some of the details behind the scenes because it's not 1640 01:22:10.119 --> 01:22:12.680 going to be the same No huge contracts he's gotten 1641 01:22:12.680 --> 01:22:15.600 in the past, so you know, it's very important to 1642 01:22:15.720 --> 01:22:18.520 save face. So I think he's going to work out 1643 01:22:18.640 --> 01:22:20.720 something where he's able to save face because that, again, 1644 01:22:20.760 --> 01:22:23.159 the ego is massive. He even said it today, he said, like, 1645 01:22:23.720 --> 01:22:25.520 I can't go out in these terms. I was thinking 1646 01:22:25.520 --> 01:22:29.279 about retiring, but because the image was negative, I just can't. 1647 01:22:29.359 --> 01:22:31.000 I need to go out. I need to write my 1648 01:22:31.039 --> 01:22:33.800 own exit. But really he should have written a decade 1649 01:22:33.840 --> 01:22:34.159 or so ago. 1650 01:22:34.199 --> 01:22:36.640 But isn't that exactly what you just said for a 1651 01:22:36.720 --> 01:22:39.199 guy who just wants to be loved and now he's 1652 01:22:39.199 --> 01:22:42.199 found himself in a position we're in all honesty, Christian, 1653 01:22:42.279 --> 01:22:45.079 I think part of it is he is, in my mind, 1654 01:22:45.600 --> 01:22:50.479 become almost a pathetic character, a shell of what he 1655 01:22:50.640 --> 01:22:52.640 used to be. And it's hard to beat up on 1656 01:22:52.720 --> 01:22:55.000 a pathetic character, right, It's like beating up your little 1657 01:22:55.000 --> 01:22:58.239 brother's best friend, you know. And people do pull their 1658 01:22:58.279 --> 01:23:01.279 punches when they feel like someone is damaged or in 1659 01:23:01.359 --> 01:23:04.720 a bad place or sad or whatever. And the way 1660 01:23:04.800 --> 01:23:07.640 he reacted and acted during COVID was to me just 1661 01:23:08.239 --> 01:23:12.039 like shockingly bad. I was genuinely surprised by that, And 1662 01:23:12.760 --> 01:23:15.079 maybe I shouldn't be, because he's always been a whiner 1663 01:23:15.119 --> 01:23:17.359 and a hypochondriac and all of those things. That's been 1664 01:23:17.399 --> 01:23:19.880 a part of his persona. But I think that people 1665 01:23:19.960 --> 01:23:22.319 are pulling punches because of who he is now. 1666 01:23:24.039 --> 01:23:26.199 Well, part of it is the media is pulling punches 1667 01:23:26.239 --> 01:23:28.800 because he's on their side now right saying all the 1668 01:23:28.920 --> 01:23:30.880 right things and doing all the right things. Listen, he 1669 01:23:31.479 --> 01:23:34.520 did an interview with President Biden I guess probably a 1670 01:23:34.600 --> 01:23:38.560 couple of months before he stepped aside. That was so embarrassing. 1671 01:23:38.720 --> 01:23:41.800 I think MSNBC wouldn't go to that level. And this 1672 01:23:41.960 --> 01:23:45.560 is the guy who is this wild and wacky shock jock. 1673 01:23:45.680 --> 01:23:47.800 He was the guy who just told it like it is, 1674 01:23:47.960 --> 01:23:51.680 and he's talking to Biden like he was Abraham Lincoln, 1675 01:23:52.000 --> 01:23:55.279 with the reverence and the agulation. Yeah, and listen, you 1676 01:23:55.359 --> 01:23:57.319 could be respectful to the president and you could do 1677 01:23:57.439 --> 01:24:00.800 some good interviews. But that was really embarrassing. And the 1678 01:24:00.880 --> 01:24:04.319 old Howard Stern would have mocked the new one into oblivion. 1679 01:24:04.439 --> 01:24:06.600 So he's aggressively changed. 1680 01:24:06.920 --> 01:24:08.680 So Christian, I have to tell you part of the 1681 01:24:08.760 --> 01:24:11.840 other part of my animosity towards Howard Stern. I was 1682 01:24:11.880 --> 01:24:14.680 a flight attendant in the early nineties for Delta Airlines. 1683 01:24:15.159 --> 01:24:17.560 One year for New Year's Eve, I had to lay 1684 01:24:17.640 --> 01:24:21.359 over in that red hot destination of Newark, New Jersey. 1685 01:24:21.880 --> 01:24:24.079 We landed at like eight o'clock at night. 1686 01:24:24.279 --> 01:24:25.239 We are sign in. 1687 01:24:25.359 --> 01:24:27.960 The next morning was like four thirty in the morning. Okay, 1688 01:24:28.000 --> 01:24:30.199 we had to be downstairs in the lobby. Not a 1689 01:24:30.319 --> 01:24:33.039 very long break. We land, we go to our hotel, 1690 01:24:33.079 --> 01:24:35.479 which is located right next to the beautiful prison there 1691 01:24:35.600 --> 01:24:38.319 in Newark, so we're in a hot, hot place. It 1692 01:24:38.479 --> 01:24:41.199 also happened to be the hotel where Howard Stern was 1693 01:24:41.239 --> 01:24:44.479 filming his New Year's Eve special, So you can only 1694 01:24:44.600 --> 01:24:47.680 imagine the quality of the crowd that was in this 1695 01:24:47.880 --> 01:24:49.800 hotel in Newark, New Jersey. 1696 01:24:49.960 --> 01:24:51.920 But I'm like, you know what, whatever, it's eight thirty, 1697 01:24:51.920 --> 01:24:52.600 I'm going to bed. 1698 01:24:52.720 --> 01:24:54.760 I got to be up at four. I go to 1699 01:24:54.880 --> 01:24:58.199 my room, only to be delighted by the people next door. 1700 01:24:58.800 --> 01:25:02.079 At about one o'clock in the morning. They stagger in 1701 01:25:02.359 --> 01:25:05.199 from the event, and the guys decide to have a 1702 01:25:05.319 --> 01:25:09.399 contest to see who could pee the longest Christian. So 1703 01:25:09.600 --> 01:25:12.279 not only did I get to hear their urine stream, 1704 01:25:12.600 --> 01:25:18.159 I got to hear them loudly count one, two, three, foo. 1705 01:25:19.159 --> 01:25:22.359 All of them did it. So I was so mad 1706 01:25:22.880 --> 01:25:24.159 at this point and wide awake. 1707 01:25:24.239 --> 01:25:26.239 At one o'clock in the morning, I filled out the 1708 01:25:26.279 --> 01:25:29.560 little card on the they wanted breakfast, So right after 1709 01:25:29.640 --> 01:25:31.600 I left it four they had all of these breakfast 1710 01:25:31.680 --> 01:25:34.960 items delivered at five am. So that was my revenge 1711 01:25:35.000 --> 01:25:36.119 and I'm still bitter about that. 1712 01:25:37.359 --> 01:25:40.079 How many times did someone cry out baba booie babba booe? 1713 01:25:40.279 --> 01:25:42.920 I was I honestly, I was so angry, like my 1714 01:25:43.000 --> 01:25:43.760 ears were bleeding. 1715 01:25:43.920 --> 01:25:44.640 I was so mad. 1716 01:25:44.880 --> 01:25:46.520 Well, Christian, you know we're gonna have to wait and 1717 01:25:46.560 --> 01:25:48.439 see what happened. Do you think details of the deal 1718 01:25:48.560 --> 01:25:50.800 are going to leak out at any point? I mean, 1719 01:25:51.399 --> 01:25:53.039 this one feels like it's going to be held close 1720 01:25:53.079 --> 01:25:54.720 to the chest for all the reasons you just said. 1721 01:25:55.680 --> 01:25:57.640 Yeah, I think if they can hide it, they will. 1722 01:25:57.760 --> 01:26:01.039 I think the big secret with Howard Stern now is 1723 01:26:01.119 --> 01:26:03.840 who's listening? You know, anecdotally, I'll go on Twitter and 1724 01:26:03.880 --> 01:26:06.000 I'll say, hey, anyone over there still listening to him? 1725 01:26:06.000 --> 01:26:08.600 And I get crickets. But more importantly, I think that 1726 01:26:08.680 --> 01:26:12.199 they would announce his ratings over and over year after year, 1727 01:26:12.560 --> 01:26:14.800 and they used to be massive, and another New York 1728 01:26:14.920 --> 01:26:18.760 post had reported something that was minuscule. So who's listening 1729 01:26:18.880 --> 01:26:19.239 right now? 1730 01:26:19.439 --> 01:26:19.600 Who? 1731 01:26:19.760 --> 01:26:22.880 I mean, why wouldn't they shout that number to the 1732 01:26:22.960 --> 01:26:26.359 rafters If they're not, that's certainly suspicious. Again, I think 1733 01:26:26.399 --> 01:26:28.760 that they can hide the details. They will if they 1734 01:26:28.800 --> 01:26:31.159 can maybe maneuver something, maybe he gives. 1735 01:26:31.079 --> 01:26:31.920 Up some of his stock. 1736 01:26:32.399 --> 01:26:37.000 There will be some creative accounting here for sure, because 1737 01:26:37.079 --> 01:26:38.560 his ego is big, and he doesn't want to go 1738 01:26:38.600 --> 01:26:39.479 out on a note like this. 1739 01:26:40.359 --> 01:26:41.479 He is not what he used to be. 1740 01:26:41.720 --> 01:26:42.319 No, not at all. 1741 01:26:42.439 --> 01:26:44.760 I just had this text or Mandy asked Christian about 1742 01:26:44.800 --> 01:26:45.840 K pop Demon Hunters. 1743 01:26:45.880 --> 01:26:46.520 Have you reviewed? 1744 01:26:47.680 --> 01:26:50.600 It's delightful, Christian. The first ten minutes are completely inane, 1745 01:26:51.000 --> 01:26:52.479 but after that I kind of loved it. 1746 01:26:54.000 --> 01:26:55.760 You know, I kind of heard about it after it 1747 01:26:55.880 --> 01:26:58.319 exploded across the culture, and I have not caught up 1748 01:26:58.359 --> 01:26:59.800 with it. It's kind of my bad habit. If I 1749 01:26:59.840 --> 01:27:02.319 don't see a movie right away or at appreciating, I 1750 01:27:02.439 --> 01:27:03.880 tend to kind of have to move on to other films. 1751 01:27:03.920 --> 01:27:05.720 So I haven't checked it out yet, but it's a sensation. 1752 01:27:06.319 --> 01:27:08.199 You need a sixteen year old daughter to guide you 1753 01:27:08.319 --> 01:27:09.359 in your movie choices. 1754 01:27:09.640 --> 01:27:10.000 I have. 1755 01:27:10.720 --> 01:27:13.680 It really is the old we don't. I think it's 1756 01:27:13.680 --> 01:27:15.880 a William Goldman line. No one knows anything about Hollywood. 1757 01:27:15.880 --> 01:27:17.560 I mean, they just put out a fourth movie in 1758 01:27:17.640 --> 01:27:20.560 the Conjuring franchise, I know, and it made nearly two 1759 01:27:20.760 --> 01:27:23.479 hundred dollars one hundred million dollars globally. 1760 01:27:23.640 --> 01:27:26.479 I mean, who saw that great obviously not me and you, 1761 01:27:26.640 --> 01:27:28.479 but no, watch it. I'd love to hear your opinion. 1762 01:27:28.680 --> 01:27:30.640 First ten minutes, you're gonna want to shove pencils in 1763 01:27:30.680 --> 01:27:32.960 your eyes. But then after that it gets all this 1764 01:27:33.199 --> 01:27:37.600 like Korean mysticism and culture. It's I thoroughly enjoyed it, 1765 01:27:37.720 --> 01:27:39.479 like I would voluntarily watch it again. 1766 01:27:40.000 --> 01:27:41.079 That's that's why. I think. 1767 01:27:41.159 --> 01:27:43.800 That's what shows you that I think the Hollywood formula 1768 01:27:43.840 --> 01:27:46.680 can be so stale. If something is different, unique, it 1769 01:27:46.760 --> 01:27:48.039 shakes things up. It's exciting. 1770 01:27:48.239 --> 01:27:50.159 Yeah it is, and it certainly has had a good 1771 01:27:50.239 --> 01:27:51.640 run thanks to those K pop kids. 1772 01:27:51.920 --> 01:27:52.560 Christian Toto. 1773 01:27:52.720 --> 01:27:55.279 You can read his work or listen to his podcasts 1774 01:27:55.279 --> 01:27:58.439 at Hollywood intoto dot com. Or read his columns all 1775 01:27:58.520 --> 01:28:00.760 over the place. You're like, you're publishing everywhere now, Chris, 1776 01:28:00.840 --> 01:28:03.880 You're so popular, very popular, very famous too. 1777 01:28:04.079 --> 01:28:04.239 Yes. 1778 01:28:04.640 --> 01:28:07.159 As a matter of fact, I'm afraid he's got I'm 1779 01:28:07.159 --> 01:28:08.760 gonna call him one day. It's gonna be like, I'm sorry, 1780 01:28:08.760 --> 01:28:09.520 I don't know who this is. 1781 01:28:10.520 --> 01:28:13.399 Do you know who you're calling? Exactly? 1782 01:28:13.760 --> 01:28:16.239 Neither of us have people spoiler alert. All right, my friend, I'll. 1783 01:28:16.119 --> 01:28:16.560 See you later. 1784 01:28:17.159 --> 01:28:20.720 All right, all right, that's Christian Toto read his stuff 1785 01:28:20.760 --> 01:28:24.920 at Hollywood intoto dot com. Mandy the Day Howard Lost 1786 01:28:25.000 --> 01:28:28.039 Me says this Texters. When right after he split up 1787 01:28:28.039 --> 01:28:30.279 with his first wife, Opie and Anthony did a great 1788 01:28:30.399 --> 01:28:33.840 skit about his breakup, Howard whined to the owners and 1789 01:28:33.960 --> 01:28:36.520 stopped Opie and Anthony from speaking about him. That was 1790 01:28:36.560 --> 01:28:40.520 a really great radio feud between Howard Stern and Opie 1791 01:28:40.520 --> 01:28:43.640 and Anthony because they were all powerhouses. 1792 01:28:43.039 --> 01:28:43.479 At the time. 1793 01:28:44.199 --> 01:28:47.920 That was a really good feud. Geez, enough about Howard. 1794 01:28:47.960 --> 01:28:50.039 He doesn't read this much interest. Trust me, I will 1795 01:28:50.079 --> 01:28:53.039 never speak of him again. Because now in the studio, 1796 01:28:53.680 --> 01:28:57.439 the flannel wearing god himself Ryan Edwards to talk about 1797 01:28:57.560 --> 01:29:00.760 yesterday's game and whatnot, and this is what I said 1798 01:29:00.760 --> 01:29:03.319 at the beginning of the show, agree or disagree. I 1799 01:29:03.520 --> 01:29:07.760 said this game was ugly. It exposed serious flaws in 1800 01:29:07.840 --> 01:29:10.600 the offense. It showed us how good the defense is. 1801 01:29:11.000 --> 01:29:13.199 But we still got a w and we have time 1802 01:29:13.239 --> 01:29:15.000 to course correct because it's the first game of the season. 1803 01:29:15.039 --> 01:29:18.680 This is the best of the possible situations in my view, 1804 01:29:18.720 --> 01:29:21.079 where we are right at the second, I could agree 1805 01:29:21.119 --> 01:29:23.439 with I think three of those four points. 1806 01:29:23.880 --> 01:29:25.800 I don't know about the serious flaws in the offense. 1807 01:29:25.960 --> 01:29:27.680 I think most of this stuff is correctable. 1808 01:29:27.760 --> 01:29:29.880 But oh, I think all of it is correctable. Yeah, 1809 01:29:29.960 --> 01:29:32.199 But what I'm saying is I'm glad it was exposed 1810 01:29:32.560 --> 01:29:34.000 right now, sure, do you know what I mean? 1811 01:29:34.319 --> 01:29:35.600 And I was a good game. 1812 01:29:35.680 --> 01:29:35.800 Now. 1813 01:29:35.920 --> 01:29:39.000 I think that bo Nicks maybe consumed a little too 1814 01:29:39.079 --> 01:29:40.039 much of his own press. 1815 01:29:40.520 --> 01:29:42.159 I think could have been Yeah, you know, we talked 1816 01:29:42.159 --> 01:29:44.279 a little bit about that on React last night, about 1817 01:29:44.399 --> 01:29:47.800 how much maybe some of the way the offense played 1818 01:29:47.880 --> 01:29:51.159 and maybe even Sean who was actually putting out the press, 1819 01:29:51.920 --> 01:29:54.159 the way they coached that game, maybe it could be 1820 01:29:54.199 --> 01:29:56.399 a little bit of that. It felt like, again, there's 1821 01:29:56.399 --> 01:29:58.039 some moments where they just were on the same page. 1822 01:29:58.039 --> 01:30:00.920 It's amazing how sometimes we talk about preseason reps and 1823 01:30:01.000 --> 01:30:03.640 how they can be helpful. This felt like one of 1824 01:30:03.680 --> 01:30:05.319 those moments, like gay, if you had had some more 1825 01:30:05.319 --> 01:30:06.840 time in the preseason, it might have helped you a 1826 01:30:06.840 --> 01:30:08.880 little bit with these Hey, the receiver is supposed to 1827 01:30:08.920 --> 01:30:11.199 run this kind of route, but decided to stop instead 1828 01:30:11.199 --> 01:30:14.079 of keep going. There was a couple of moments with 1829 01:30:14.239 --> 01:30:16.840 bone Nicks where I think that the Tennessee Titans and 1830 01:30:16.880 --> 01:30:18.800 you got to give them some love on the defensive 1831 01:30:18.800 --> 01:30:21.079 side of the wall because they're very talented, and I 1832 01:30:21.119 --> 01:30:23.520 think they gave bone Nicks in that offense some looks 1833 01:30:23.520 --> 01:30:27.399 that they were not prepared for, and so it definitely looked. 1834 01:30:27.239 --> 01:30:29.319 Like somebody forgot to tell Tennessee they were supposed to 1835 01:30:29.319 --> 01:30:29.880 lose that game. 1836 01:30:30.359 --> 01:30:31.720 Yeah I did. 1837 01:30:31.880 --> 01:30:35.399 I mean, in my mind, I felt like bow got 1838 01:30:35.560 --> 01:30:38.399 out of his depth and then wasn't quite sure how 1839 01:30:38.479 --> 01:30:41.560 to recover, especially in the first half. Second half, you 1840 01:30:41.640 --> 01:30:44.680 started to feel like, Okay, you know, maybe, but as 1841 01:30:44.800 --> 01:30:47.880 one who has occasionally in the far far away past 1842 01:30:48.680 --> 01:30:50.600 enjoyed a little too much of my own press, only 1843 01:30:50.680 --> 01:30:52.960 to be smacked down and embarrassed by God in some 1844 01:30:53.399 --> 01:30:56.600 public fashion, I know what that looks like. And that's 1845 01:30:56.680 --> 01:30:57.920 kind of what that looked like to me. 1846 01:30:58.520 --> 01:31:00.920 I mean, listen, it's hard not to think about it, right, 1847 01:31:01.000 --> 01:31:03.000 especially in those moments when you have your coach talking 1848 01:31:03.000 --> 01:31:04.560 about this is one of seven teams that could win 1849 01:31:04.640 --> 01:31:06.760 a Super Bowl. You're talking about your quarterback is a 1850 01:31:06.800 --> 01:31:09.359 possible top five guy. Well, that's not how a top 1851 01:31:09.399 --> 01:31:11.880 five guy plays. That's certainly not how a super Bowl team, 1852 01:31:11.880 --> 01:31:13.439 at least on the offensive side of the ball looks. 1853 01:31:13.600 --> 01:31:18.079 The defense, again, was spectacular. The numbers are staggering, really, 1854 01:31:18.199 --> 01:31:20.319 and part of that also, the Sissy Titans offense is 1855 01:31:20.840 --> 01:31:22.560 a flawed Now that's a flawed unit. 1856 01:31:22.640 --> 01:31:24.920 That's still came at the end of the game when 1857 01:31:24.960 --> 01:31:27.960 his receivers dropped three balls in a row. I felt 1858 01:31:27.960 --> 01:31:29.920 sorry for the kid. Yeah, I was like, he didn't 1859 01:31:29.960 --> 01:31:30.640 and his poor dad. 1860 01:31:30.680 --> 01:31:33.680 Did you see his sad I didn't. His parents are 1861 01:31:33.720 --> 01:31:34.640 sitting up. 1862 01:31:34.560 --> 01:31:38.199 There completely stoic, like not no emotionless, and one of 1863 01:31:38.239 --> 01:31:40.640 the commentators was like, wow, you know, I don't know 1864 01:31:40.640 --> 01:31:40.840 if I. 1865 01:31:40.840 --> 01:31:41.680 Could be that emotionless. 1866 01:31:42.039 --> 01:31:44.079 Then the third ball gets dropped and they show the 1867 01:31:44.159 --> 01:31:46.880 dad and he's just like, oh my god, yeah, and. 1868 01:31:47.279 --> 01:31:51.560 He had I would say overall decent accuracy. 1869 01:31:51.680 --> 01:31:53.800 I mean, certainly his time in the pocket, he he 1870 01:31:53.920 --> 01:31:56.079 drifted a little bit too much, and that happens with rookies, right, 1871 01:31:56.119 --> 01:31:59.079 I mean there's that moment where panic, Yeah, where Marvin 1872 01:31:59.119 --> 01:32:02.920 MIM's muscle and they have the ball basically right outside 1873 01:32:02.920 --> 01:32:05.079 the red zone and they end up going backwards out 1874 01:32:05.079 --> 01:32:06.520 of fiel little range. Those are things that you got 1875 01:32:06.600 --> 01:32:09.159 to learn from. But yeah, I saw some things that 1876 01:32:09.199 --> 01:32:11.680 I think are very encouraging. But you know, the receivers 1877 01:32:11.720 --> 01:32:13.079 drop the baller's lens is so much you can do. 1878 01:32:13.279 --> 01:32:16.199 The good thing that I feel like I know as 1879 01:32:16.279 --> 01:32:19.079 a fan about bo Nix is that I think that 1880 01:32:19.319 --> 01:32:21.640 this will not remotely mentally crush. 1881 01:32:21.479 --> 01:32:23.920 Him, like maybe humble him a little bit. 1882 01:32:24.079 --> 01:32:27.439 Maybe that was needed, but I think that he has demonstrated, 1883 01:32:27.520 --> 01:32:30.520 especially last year, that he does not spend a lot 1884 01:32:30.560 --> 01:32:33.079 of time like regurgitating in his mind what could have 1885 01:32:33.199 --> 01:32:35.319 you know what I mean, He's like, what can I learn? 1886 01:32:35.439 --> 01:32:37.520 Let's move on, which I think is the only way 1887 01:32:37.560 --> 01:32:40.479 to be in sports at any level. You can't get 1888 01:32:40.560 --> 01:32:41.159 mired down. 1889 01:32:41.239 --> 01:32:42.720 And what happened in the last game one. 1890 01:32:42.680 --> 01:32:44.119 Hundred percent, and that was one of the things that 1891 01:32:44.199 --> 01:32:47.000 his coaches, all of them said universally about him when 1892 01:32:47.039 --> 01:32:49.479 we were sort of doing our detailed work on him 1893 01:32:49.479 --> 01:32:52.199 in the pre draft process, was that he tends to 1894 01:32:52.319 --> 01:32:54.439 not repeat mistakes. And they said the same thing when 1895 01:32:54.479 --> 01:32:56.960 he got here. To Denver's coaches were like, it's really impressive. 1896 01:32:57.039 --> 01:32:59.359 Is he only needs to learn something once? So I 1897 01:32:59.520 --> 01:33:02.399 do think that's why, Like what you think about is 1898 01:33:02.520 --> 01:33:06.079 flaws in the offense is fair because it was flawed 1899 01:33:06.159 --> 01:33:09.880 that day, but that's hopefully not something that they will 1900 01:33:09.960 --> 01:33:11.520 repeat catastrophic. 1901 01:33:11.800 --> 01:33:13.920 Yes, not, Oh my god, we don't have an offense 1902 01:33:14.119 --> 01:33:17.000 which we've seen many years of that here and so like, 1903 01:33:17.279 --> 01:33:18.840 you know, you go down that road where you're. 1904 01:33:18.760 --> 01:33:21.600 Like Trevor Simeon and Jake Skeenam and Joe Flacco and 1905 01:33:21.680 --> 01:33:23.960 you're like, no, those are flaws and there's nothing you 1906 01:33:24.039 --> 01:33:26.000 can do about it. So you're just gonna have to 1907 01:33:26.039 --> 01:33:27.640 hope that one day it's not as bad. 1908 01:33:27.520 --> 01:33:29.479 As the next day. And this is not one of 1909 01:33:29.560 --> 01:33:29.920 those things. 1910 01:33:29.960 --> 01:33:31.279 I think that they're gonna be able to build off 1911 01:33:31.279 --> 01:33:32.800 a lot of the things, and there's some really positive 1912 01:33:32.840 --> 01:33:35.079 science from the offense. Obviously, the running game, especially in 1913 01:33:35.119 --> 01:33:37.840 the second half, really kind of started to show up. 1914 01:33:37.880 --> 01:33:40.159 And that's that's kind of by design, right, that's why 1915 01:33:40.199 --> 01:33:42.239 you're doing the wide zone. It's supposed to eventually break 1916 01:33:42.319 --> 01:33:43.960 open a few of those people down. 1917 01:33:44.279 --> 01:33:47.640 Yeah, exactly. So that is the hope is if you 1918 01:33:47.720 --> 01:33:48.920 stick with it and you can get. 1919 01:33:48.880 --> 01:33:50.520 Into the second half of these games, you're gonna be 1920 01:33:50.560 --> 01:33:51.680 able to open up some of those lanes. 1921 01:33:51.880 --> 01:33:52.880 And they were able to do. 1922 01:33:53.079 --> 01:33:55.159 And again, if they can listen, they've run rush for 1923 01:33:55.159 --> 01:33:57.199 one hundred and fifty one yards every single game. They're 1924 01:33:57.199 --> 01:33:58.439 gonna be a lot of games, and they might win 1925 01:33:58.479 --> 01:33:59.119 a lot of games too. 1926 01:34:00.079 --> 01:34:02.840 And now it's time for the most exciting segment on 1927 01:34:02.960 --> 01:34:03.680 the radio. 1928 01:34:03.560 --> 01:34:08.239 On its guide in the world of that day.
