No, it's Mandy Connell, Many Connell, KA, n.
FM, god Way, they three, Mandy Connell, Keith sad bab Welcome, Vocal.
Welcome to a Monday edition of the show. We've got a slightly shortened show by baseball, just two hours. But that's okay. I'm here your host, Mandy Connell, not Mandy McConnell, not Mindy Connall, not Mindy McConnell, just Mandy Connall, Randy Cromwell, stop it, you're not helping Anthony Rodriguez we call him a rod He's over there as well. And we will take you right through the busy broadcast day until two o'clock when Rocky's Baseball takes over Tomorrow. Almost the whole
show's eaten by cu Buff's basketball. They are playing in the tournament, trying to get into the big tourney, so we will wish them well, but it's going to be a crazy couple of days. I just want to share something before I jump into the blog. Anthony, do you know what I just did to log into my Facebook account here on a work computer that shared by other people.
You did double authentication, two step authentication.
And I say this because over the weekend, yet another friends I've now had three friends in the past ten days have their face and all it is is they use a password cracker. They break your password, They then change the password and your email on your account, and then the hackers have access to your account and you
don't now. The first one I told you guys about was they posted this giant fake sale where all of this stuff was listed at rock bottom prices that were so absurdly low that I knew immediately it was a scam. But someone else didn't know it was a scam and managed to give them thirty thousand dollars before finding out they were scammers. This past week, two separate Facebook friends fell prey to an even more sophisticated scam. This one was passwords stole in. They take over your Facebook page
and then they post something along these lines. Hey guys, I have been I am now after twenty four months of study, I am now a crypto broker. I've been keeping this quiet as I went through this process. It was an extremely rigorous certification process. Send me a message if you want information about crypto but they tag another person to give it legitimacy. Hey, after talking to my buddy Eric for X amount of weeks, I decided to
go all in on crypto. I've invested two hundred and eighty five thousand dollars of my own money in this. Scammers are getting so sophisticated. I have a story on the blog today about an absolute scumbag who stole a woman's life savings by convincing her that her bank account had been compromised. She needed to take all of her money out, buy gold bars and give them to a random dude in a parking lot. Now, when I sing it like that, you think to yourself, how could she
have fallen for that? But trust me, these scammers are incredibly sophisticated. We really need to be talking to our elderly folks, not because I think they're stupid or they're not capable of understanding, but I will tell you technology has blown past them and what they have, what scammers and hackers have the ability to do, is crazy, absolutely crazy. My mom did not fall prey to it, but but kind of got down the rabbit hole with some scammers who popped up one of those pop up windows. In
our computer. Your computer has been compromised. Called Microsoft at this number. And she called Microsoft and when the Indian guy on the other send of the line kept telling her she needed to buy gift cards and send them, she was like, yeah, no. But older folks who are not comfortable with computers don't understand how it works. They can be very easily scared by this stuff. Especially I think.
I think the higher level job someone had in their working lives can often make them more susceptible to being ripped off because they're used to performing at an extremely high level. And these scammers are so sophisticated. So please, for the love of all, that's totally put on two
step authentication on your social media pages. It's a pain, yes, I know, but it's so necessary unless unless you want your account used to steal money from the people that you care about who are friends of yours on your Facebook or your Instagram page. And it just takes a minute to set up. It's in the privacy check portion on Facebook. I haven't looked to see where it is on Instagram. But take a minute, y'all, just take a minute.
It can save you so much frustration, aggravation, and potentially lots of loss money the people in your friend.
Group botus tip. I just went through and made sure I did. I was like ninety nine point nine percent sure I did. It is kind of paying the butt to find. So when you go to the privacy portion on Facebook, hmm, there's a search bar in the settings. Literally type out factor facto R two factor author immediately bring you out.
It'll bring you right to it.
Yeah, so it's kind of hard to find. Well, just do it, you guys, Just do it, because I I would feel terrible if any of the elderly people that were on my Facebook page, and there are numerous got scammed and lost money because of something I did, you know what I mean, or didn't do when I could have easily taken care of that. Yes, I have two steps on both of mine, so I'm good. Of course, you can't log into anything without your phone, but whatever,
it's fine, it's fine, don't worry about it. Let's do the blog, Anthony. You can find the blog by going to mandy'sblog dot com. That's mandy'sblog dot com. Look for the headline that says three ten twenty five blog. It's bring forward Monday. Try not to die. Click on that and here are the headlines you will find within Hi Tech two All winner.
I think you listen to in Office half of American all the ships and clipments and seen that's going to press plat.

Those are the headlines on the blog at mandy'sblog dot com. Okay, I just opened up my Instagram page just to make sure I had the two step notification on. And by the way, when you have the apps on your phone, it doesn't affect anything. You'll always stay logged in on your phone. Right, that's
not a big deal. Just when you go to a computer and pull it up. And the first post that I have is Britney Spears dancing around. I follow Britney Spears just so when I see stuff like this, I'm like, should we have an intervention? Should we? I mean, do you think we as a society should just get together and you know, just help Britney out. If there ever was a case for against child stardom Britney Spears is it. Now. We've got a bunch of stuff on the blog today.
We've got our friends from Kofa, Colorado. We've got Leslie and Mike coming on at one o'clock. We got another kids shoot this weekend. No, we're not shooting kids. That would be bad and against the law. No, this is another opportunity for kids to come out and learn how to shoot be beguns at paper targets. This is the ham shoot because we're coming up on Easter and we're gonna talk to them at one o'clock about that. In the meantime, let's start the conversation with the most important
story of the day. Who among us is tired today because of the time change? Anyone else?
Yeah?
And Rod and I are both raising.
Our hands the hardest get out of beds. Yeah, and I got back.
I flew to dight In this weekend to see my grandkids, who are the best grandkids. I just want to throw that out there. I'm sure grandkids are sweet and everything, but mine are the best grandkids. If we're fighting about it.
So I flew in last night very late, and then I got home very late, and then I tried to have you ever tried to like rush in from somewhere and then get ready for bed really fast and then lie down like you're gonna fall asleep and any you know, anytime soon, you know, you're like, I'll just get ready for bed and I'll just jump in bed. And then
you're like, no, I'm not gonna fall asleep. That was me last night, But luckily woke up in my same time every day as I do because I have what I have learned to be called a hard inner clock. Now I've told you guys about this many many times that you know, for some of you, you people, and I'm gonna call you you people, and I hope you hear the disdain in my voice when I talk about those people. You've seen those people who like lie down and within I don't know, three minutes, they're just asleep,
and they sleep like the dead the entire night. If you're one of those people, I don't like you. I mean, you may be nice other but I don't like you just for that, because that is not me. However, I wake up at the exact same time every single day, and that time is now six am. It was five am, and I found out I have a more rigid internal clock. That's a name for it, an actual name for it.
Now I want to play what Donald Trump said about the time change, because this one sound white encapsulates why we are stuck with the situation that we have right now. And hang on, I got to actually open TikTok to make a play. Hang on one second, let me pull this back when.
You go to get rid of Okay, are you ready?
So this should be the easiest one of all.
But it's a fifty to fifty issue, and if something's a fifty to fifty issue, it's hard to get excited about it. I assume people would like to have more light later, but some people want to have more light earlier.
Because they don't want to take their kids to school in the dark.
And it's very much it's a little bit one way, but it's very much a fifty to fifty issue, and it's something I can do. But a lot of people like it one way, a lot of people.
Like it the other way.
It's very even, and usually I find when that's the case, what else do we have to do?
He's absolutely right. The problem is we can't decide whether or not to stay on daylight saving time, which is what we are now in, or stay in standard time. And the problem is there's not enough light in winter. Okay, let's just let's go to the root cause of this issue. The issue is the people who want to stay on standard time. They want they don't want to have to get up and go to work in the dark. And I get it, I really get it.
I do.
But right now I'm coming to work in the light, and I'm going to bed, I'm going home in the dark. So it really depends on would you rather have light in the morning while you're driving to work and doing nothing else for the most part, or would you like to have light in the afternoon when you would actually maybe have a chance to do something in the afternoon on a nice day, when there's still a little bit of dusk left around when you get home from work.
I am firmly in the daylight saving time camp, and I've been wishing washing about this for years because I'm like, look, can we just pick I am making the case to stay on daylight saving time. I don't care if it's dark longer in the morning, because guess what, we don't have that much light in the winter anyway. I don't care. Kids can go to school in the dark. I don't care they're going to be in the classrooms. I don't care.
It's fine. I understand they're waiting for buses. Give them flash lights because guess what they were in the dark today at the bus stop, standing out there in the dark. So here's what I want to do. I figured we would just use the Mandy Connell audience to make the case for both sides of this issue. And we can do it on the Common Spirit Health text line. You can text me at five sixty six nine. Oh okay.
So we are going to decide we're going to use the Mandy Connell audience as the focus group for this issue, and we are going to go ahead and figure out which is superior and why. And please, I don't want to hear about ski reason the way scout w ad. I don't care. They can adjust their hours. Here's the thing. Like, if you're in construction and in the winter, you have to be at work at seven o'clock because that's when it gets light. Guess what, you can go to work
at eight o'clock when it gets light. Like we all act like that we've locked in these times and they're written in stone, like the tablets that Moses came down the mountain. We can change the time that people who are weather and outside dependent show up and leave work right because in the winter they don't work nearly as long as they do in the summer. In the summer they're out there till eight thirty or nine, sometimes slinging hammers. We've got to figure this out. We really we cannot
split the difference. We're not gonna split to the half hour. We're not doing that. Okay, here we go, five, six, six, nine. Oh, make your arguments. Don't just say one or the other. Tell me why. I want to know why. So there you go. Let's see here going down for this. U truly love you and the show. But can you not say scrolling? Scrolling? I have got to tell you something, Texter.
I have now had a cavalcade, a veritable like flood of listeners who tell me how much they enjoy when I say scrolling scrolling, because they're scrolling on their phones at the same time. So no, I will not and I am actually scrolling. I'm not just saying it. I'm sort of filling time, but I'm also telling you what I'm actually doing. Because when there's a lot of videos embedded in the blog, or there's a lot of words
embedded in the blog, between headlines. I too have to scroll down to get to the proper place, So no, I will not stop strengths scrolling, Mandy. I'm an extreme night owl. Daylight savings year round, Mandy. What good does it serve anyone to have a sunrise at four point thirty am in June. Nobody's getting up to take advantage. That's a fine point, although I listener will probably be up if that's the case. Schools can adjust their hours too,
Yes they can, Yes, they can, Mandy. Instead of just trying to fix the daylight saving time problem, it would probably be easier for NASA to just fix Earth's stupid tilt so that the days don't get shorter. I thoroughly second permanent daylight saving time, Mandy. The school children argument is a false flag. Start school a little later DSD forever. Yes, yes, Mandy. I don't care which time standard is. Just stick to it, no more time changes erg. Yes, Mandy's standard all the way.
I wake up early anyway. I like to go to sleep in the dark, and I hate going to sleep all uh uh oh, that just a lol. It doesn't work like that in construction.
Uh.
I'm just based on the construction that goes around around my neighborhood. They've been building a neighborhood for like four years now. So I walked through the neighborhood first thing in the morning in the summer, and I'm the only one there. And then I walked through it at night and they're still all there. Just move the tropics, length of day hardly changes throughout the year. Then you know, how would those categories be for people who like making
the change? Oh dang, you guys are kind I got to turn off my how fasted updates because I can't get them all here.
Okay, just go through the text, scrolling, scrolling, Well, they're coming.
In so fast and furious. I'll get to more of these on the other side, because some of these are very very good.
Trying to scroll.
L ay Rod and I are we firmly in the daylight saving time camp? Is that where we are like this time, this time late and we get more sun in the afternoon.
Yeah, I like the morning in the dark. It's cool.
All right, there you go. We'll be right back with more of your commentary on this right after this. First of all, I want to share a little bit of the health impact. Someone just hit the text line and said, Mandy. For someone who travels all the time, who constantly travels, you sure seem obsessed with the time change. Time zones are the death of me. They truly are. And it's
the biggest struggle I have when I travel. It's why when I'm going to Japan this summer, I took extra time off after the after the trip, to just have a weekend to recover. I took an extra day so I could just have a weekend to recover, because that is the hardest thing about travel. But that's necessary if I want to see the world. This stupid time change is voluntary. We do it to ourselves. Listen to this.
According to a twenty twenty study published in the Plos Computational bio Biology Journal, researchers found four prominent elevated risk clusters associated with time changes that occurring November at March, cardiova, vascular diseases, injuries, mental and behavioral disorders, and immune related diseases such as colitis and inflammation of the colon. While the majority of disease risk elevations were relatively modest, only a few percentage points higher than normal, some negative health
effects spiked up to ten percent. The study estimated that each spring shift was associated with one hundred and fifty thousand incidences of negative health effects in the US alone eight hundred and eighty thousand globally. Studies show a twenty four percent rise in heart attacks on the Monday following the transition. There's an elevated risk of strokes during this period. Additionally, car accidents increased by about six percent in the week
after the time change, resulting in more fatal crashes. These risks are attributed to sleep deprivations, circadian misalignment, and environmental changes. The effects are most pronounced in the week following the time change, with some impacts lasting up to two weeks.
So I asked you what should we be doing here, and you have delivered on the text line Mandy, I'm on daylight saving time for it gives people that own farm animals to work with them, and also it will keep the animals on a standard time when they eat or they don't understand daylight saving time, just saying yeah, my dog doesn't understand daylight saving time, not at all. In case you missed it, we are actually on so called standard for fewer months than we're on non standard,
which brings us to point number two. In the seventies, we went full time to daylight saving time. Yep. It's favorability quickly took a turn for the worse, and the crescendo from the public undid the change just ten months due to many areas of the country experiencing sunrise at eight thirty am or later, which caused general discontent from the public. That's on daylight saving time, so it's not you know, this is why they haven't done it. Love
your show. The ultimate compromise. Split the difference, go to half hour between and leave it. Many time zones like Newfoundland are half hour off the maintime zones and you would never know you're a half hour off. You're welcome from Kelly, Mandy. If you want to get more done before nine am, join the army dst all the way. I'll take that, Mandy. I would prefer regular time. I want my house to have an extra hour to cool off before I go to sleep. That would save money
on your energy. Villain, reduce the time you run your air conditioner, not me. I run my air conditioner all summer long. I'm determined to enstroy the environment, just with my air conditioner, Mandy in the morning. In the world of morning people versus night owls, only the morning people are awake for the early morning, but almost everyone is awake for the evening hours. Therefore, it's simple DST gives everyone more daylight. Why standard time gives only morning people
more daylight, So DST is generally better. Toda to da, Mandy. I'm on team daylight savings time. There's only school for another six weeks. Nobody takes their kid to school in during the summertime, anyway, more daylight for activities. You know the thing, the school thing only matters in standard time, right, Well, no, I guess so daylight saying yeah, I mean it would matter over the winter because it would be getting dark much much later. This text line overwhelming in favor of
daylight saving time. I'm just gonna let you know because I'm looking at it right now. But the reality is, let me pull this up, pulling on DST or standard time, And this is what Donald Trump was referring to. Oh dang it, I pulled up the wrong thing. Hey, one second. More than half in the US want daylight saving time sunset it about half prefer standard time fifty four percent said they want to stay on standard time. Forty percent of US adults say they're in favor of daylight saving time.
Six percent. Well, they don't leave their houses, so they don't know. So this is why they haven't taken action, because it would be immediately hated by half the country. Mandy, I love listening to people try to correct problems or fixed problems people create. Correct this textra said, it takes me weeks to get used to daylight saving time. Oh preach, sister or brother. I'm right there with you. You know why, because we have rigid internal clocks. Some people adjust easily.
I do not, do not, but yeah, this is a problem. I mean, you've heard the old adage that Native Americans say, only the white man could cut a foot off a blanket on one side, sew it onto the other side, and think he made a longer blanket. I mean, it's true, right, we still have the same amount of time with light. It's just weird you want it to be, Mandy. I get up at two fifteen AM and I can't stand daylight saving time. Textor I just want to say I have so much compassion for you getting up at two
fifteen in the morning. Because when I did a morning show, I got up at three and people would say, Wow, what time do you get up in the morning. I'm like, I get up last night. At getting up for a morning show. You're not getting up early in the morning. You are getting up the night before. And it's not like I've worked a straight midnight shift where I was
on from midnight to six. I did. I produced a talk show from midnight to six that no, a rod's shaking and said, no, but a rod At least that way, you're completely upside down, so you're sleeping in the middle of the day, but you're working in the middle of the night. Somehow that was easier for me than getting up and doing a morning show schedule.
Somehow.
Well, it was not my favorite, although I will say that talk show was the most fun I have ever had in radio in my life because it was in safe Harbor and crazy stuff went down, Like stuff's so crazy I can't even tell tell you it on the radio because it would get our FCC license pulled. And I'm not exaggerating crazy stuff. I should just write a little booklet, not a whole book, just a booklet on the stuff I saw on that show. Let's just say this. I was a pure little angel before I started on
that show. That show corrupted me made me into the person that I am today. I should be grateful, Mandy. In my opinion, we should be on standard time. We did that since the beginning of this nation, all the way back up until the fifties. I believe during wartime. If we're going to do this back and forth we're having an argument, why don't we just go to Greenwich meantime and be.
Done with it.
The whole world uses it, so why shouldn't we. I'm gonna be perfectly frank when I say Greenwich meantime plus minus that all confuses the crap out of me. Just confuses the crap out of me, This person says succinctly, society's a bunch of whining cissies. Correct, but some of us have legitimate wines where other people do not. Mandy leland vinnered on News Nation, called it what it really is, daylight shifting time. There's no saving anywhere. It's called daylight
saving time, not savings, but daylight saving time. Because it was originally lofted, this idea of changing the clocks has been around for centuries. Ben Franklin suggested this back in the day, one of our founding fathers. He was one of the ones that said we should shift the clocks and make it so we have more time in the afternoon. It was a dumb idea then, it's a dumb idea now.
But back when they instituted it during wartime, they did it because they figured in the nine to five society we had back in the nineteen forties, people would go to the office and they would work, so they wanted to They posited it anyway that if they shifted the clocks, then people would not be in the office and have to use artificial lighting as often. Ben Franklin was trying to save people candlelight. But it's never done what it was intended to do. It's one of those things. It's
like socialism. The idea sounds amazing, but human beings are not made to do this. We are made to have our circadian rhythms, be stable, be reliable, be attached to the sun. Again, I don't care which way we go, do not care. We just gotta pick something. I mean, we gotta pick something, Mandy, where's that one right there? Internal clock struggles, but you have no trouble going to different time zones for the weekend. Oh no, my friend,
I have trouble. I have a lot of trouble. I just choose to pretend like it doesn't matter because I am a professional most of the time. We'll be right back, Mandy. I look forward to twice a year having you go ballistic, pure entertainment. I'm glad my pain makes you happy. I would ask a question of my listening audience that has
nothing to do with daylight saving time. So, and I probably shouldn't do this because this is an advertiser, but I'm going to have any of you ever used to date my age app or website because I have found those commercials to be super creepy. I don't know about you, guys, And don't get me wrong, there's a lot of people that are older that would love to have a website where they could go and meet people and have quality relationships.
There's something about this one that seems thanky to me, and I'm wondering if any of you have any experience with that app. If you do, I would love to hear about it. I would love to hear about it, because, as I said, I was gonna look for a mole. I was gonna have one of you folks out there sign up for it so I could find out, because I mean, obviously I'm a happily married woman. I don't want Chuck to get the wrong age. And I already tease him about the fact that I am never dated
a dude as old as that. You know, date an old man. He's sixty for crime and he's sake, holy cow, twenty five year old Nandy's horrified. Of course, I'm fifty five, so it all works. But you know what I mean. But I'm just curious if any of you had used it because their business model. I just looked it up a little while ago. It seems very strange, and it's it's part of my you know, I want everybody to be happily coupled up. I really do. I love being married.
I love my relationship with my husband. I love that guy, and I want everybody to have that. Eight Rod and Joscelyn his wife, very happy young couple. I want young people to have that as well. So it's like, what can we do? And every time I hear something like that, I think, are they really helping people find love or or not?
What we can do here in this market here in the next probably six months, is watch When Love Is Blind is in Denver next season?
Oh no way.
They just finished season eight in Minneapolis and it was actually really funny Denver Bronco Alex Singleton. They did a little handoff from one Vikings player like through the torch and Alex Singleton. That's what the Broncos because it's coming to Denver. And if you've ever watched ye.
People don't see each other, right, yes.
You don't see each other.
You go in the pods and they date through a wall and then they one proposes, and then they see each other and then they go on a honeymoon.
And then they have to get married in like four weeks.
How many of the people actually get married and stay married.
On average, I don't know.
I don't know exactly the numbers, but on average, I'd say like at least half of the couples go to the altar.
And say yes, and maybe three like two.
Thirds of those stay together, right, So pretty good, But it's gotten really gross the last couple of seasons, Like people that are in it for the wrong reasons, people that are really bad, slimy people like the casting The casting crew clearly isn't doing their homework. They just let the bad people in. It's it's gotten gross and so now it's coming to Denver this coming season.
So okay, so let me ask the question here. So now you believe whereas people initially really got into it because they wanted to find love, now they're just looking for fame. They want to be on a reality because.
These people, every single one of them, astronomically grows there they're following and become really just I mean a lot of them go on the show, whether they find love or not, become big influencers, get a massive following, and then make their life in their career off of that.
So now the show.
Where like I would say, okay, so we just finished season eight. First couple of seasons really seem dedicated to finding love the people on the show. Then the middle seasons I think they really need they struggled to get the right people on the show and filter them out.
Now it seems like Netflix, because of the amount of bad people that have been on the show, it seems like Netflix is leaning into letting the really gross people that are on it for fame be part of the cast like they don't care now, and it works because the numbers are great and the show is really entertaining. But now it's getting away from the entire concept and now just keep the sloppiness going. Coming to Denver, probably
coming out this summer. They haven't announced the past yet, so we'll see this.
Texter said Mandy. I joined a similar dating app to that date my age. It's called carbon dating that I put that comedian on the blog last week and he made that joke because he was old. This one for Mike, I think is important. I'm sixty one. Why the hell would I want to date my age? I just saw
a video online where a woman showed two graphs. One was the graph that women thought was the appropriate age as they got older for a mate, right, and for women age twenty three, the age was up to twenty seven. They wanted somebody a little bit older. As women got older, it was either the same age and then they hit forty five and they wanted somebody a little bit younger. But then it kind of evened out, so the women's
graph kind of went even with the women's ages. The men's graph forty eight year old men, who's the perfect mate?
A twenty year old woman. Well, guys, come on, I will say that the older folks could be in luck. People have been calling for a golden Love is Blind like with the Golden Bachelor, So maybe the old folks will help bring the real reason.
For Love is Blind back to that show as example. Not Denver. That's gonna be the young crazy people again.
We shall see. Someone says you should lose your man card for knowing the facts about this show, but love that. I would argue that Aron and his wife enjoying that show together. Ye, it's just another example of why their relationship is Oh.
We we finished it yesterday, season eight and we cried, Yeah, because it was that good. Like the couple that worked out, no spoilers for those that watch it. The couple that worked out were so beautiful together. We absolutely cried together and have no shame about it whatsoever. It's a great show when it works. Yeah, it's beautiful. It's so cool.
Sure, and I'll leave it on this. My wife won't let me on any of those dating sites. My girlfriends keep me busy and off those dating sites as well. On that note, we'll shift gears when we get back. No one is expecting any inspecting anyone's genital at Jefferson County Park. So I'll explain after this. The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Bell and Pollock Accident and Injury Lawyers.

Well, we welcome to the second hour and last hour of the show. We're gonna turn it over to Rocky's Baseball at two o'clock. But in the meantime, there is yet another super fun event coming up this weekend where kids can come out and thanks to KOFA, the Christian Outdoor Fellowship of America Colorado chapter, they can learn how to shoot a baby gun, learn a little bit about gun safety, have some fun, and maybe win a free ham and joining me now to talk about it, I've
got Mike Brooks and Leslie Allan from KOFA. Mike, you're in beautiful North Fort Myers right now? Is that what you sent me this morning?
I am it's raining, but yesterday eighty four degrees, today seventy nine, and tomorrow eighty five.
Well in beautiful here.
Enjoy yourself. It is beautiful in the winter, but I cannot vouch for it in the same way in the summer, when it is like living on the side. Anyway, Leslie Allen also with us here guys, Mike, I'm gonna let you handle this. What is going on this weekend?
Well, we got our ham shoot. This is kind of like off of our kids Turkey shoot in November for Thanksgiving, but this is because of Easter coming around. Kids will have an opportunity to not only win prizes, you know, like a ham, bacon and brats, but you're going to learn how to shoot baby guns. There's going to be gun safety. It's going to be a wonderful event for children and the families. We have had so many people signing up. I'm sure Leslie will give you the numbers.
But we are exploding. We are just going to blow it up to bil Out on next sat or this Saturday.
Actually, it looks like you guys have picked up quite an important sponsor with Shields. How did that come about?
Well, Shields came to us and said, hey, what do you have as far as an event for kids, And we both came together as thinking of a am shoot, and they love the idea what's cool, and I think most people that are active shooters or hunters an ant. They have a big ammunition ammunition sale going on this weekend as well, so if you want to go down and let your kids shoot and go with the m O and it's a great store. We love it and they've been very supportive of Kopha's Kids events.
And this is actually happening at the Shields in Johnstown right correct.
And last year we blew it out and this year we're going to really blow it out even more. So, you know, Mandy, one of the things I'm trying out. Parents are so thankful that we are getting their kids off the electronics, just even for a few hours, and they get their experiences shooting and trying to win prizes,
but they're communicating and get involved with other kids. So this is kind of what our goal is, make sure these kids have a great opportunity to experience tun and be begun, but also just hanging around their peers and just enjoying themselves. And a parents love seeing their kids have fun.
Now, Leslie, you've been involved with these events in the past. What kind of a participation did you guys have last year, and what are you shooting for this year?
Well, that was great. Last year we had four hundred and sixty five what Yeah, and we had about three hundred parents, and so this year we really think we're going to be over one thousand, and we're just thrilled about that.
So do people need I see, I've got your website up and I put a link on my blog today to your website. Do kids have to register in advance? Or can they just show up?
They can just show up. It's from nine thirty to three this Saturday. And again it's it's it seals up in Johnstown four seven five five Ronald Reagan Boulevard. It's really easy, just up north on I twenty five and you check a ride on thirty four and it's right there. You can't miss it.
It's massive. That store is ginormous, so yeah, it'd be hard to miss. Now, is this going to take place outside? Because I don't know where in the store they would do this, Mike, Yes.
It's in that They have a big training room upstairs. So it's just massive, and so we're able to cording off one section for the training, the classroom training, and then the other section is for the range area, So yeah, it works out great.
So, Mike, just to be clear for the angry animal activists that might be listening right now, how many actual pigs are going to be shot at this event?
Well, paper target pigs quite a few, but as far as actual critters zero. So I think they can stay home and not protest on that pigs are going to be saved. And I just wanted to add though, we do have handicap accessory throughs elevators and we can get them up there. We had quite a few kids that were handicapped last here that got on the elevator and got to participate.
Oh I love that. I love that so much. This is such a great opportunity if you, as a parent, did not grow up shooting guns, but you want your kids to have an idea about gun safety, this is the best way to give them the basics, help them understand that even a BB gun needs to be treated with respect, and it really is a great way to kind of lay the foundation for that safety around firearms
that goes well beyond BB guns. All right, guys, I put a link on the blog today to the event, and I know it's going to be another Humdinger, and I can't wait to hear about how successful this one is. And somebody is going to win some prizes like a honey baked ham.
Right prizes, right bacon rops hands. If you like eating, this is a kind of competition you're going to enjoy.
Well.
What I like is that, growing up the daughter of a hunter, I often ate these things, but they often still had like bird shot and.
Stuff in them.
So these are all free of any kind of shot, so you don't even have to worry about that. Mike Brooks and Leslie Allen, thanks for your time today. Guys, go back to your days, and I hope you have a great event on Saturday. I have a good one. That is the great folks from COOFA. They do an outstanding, outstanding job. Bu Okay, there we go. I'm just helping kids get into the outdoors. And we have so many transplants to the area that would probably like to take
advantage of the great outdoors out here. I mean, that's the big peel of Colorado. And if you've never been around guns, and you've never been around firearms, go out, take your kids out there and let them experience this. I had an interesting experience this weekend with my two grandsons. So one of my grandsons, his birthday is this weekend, and I said, hey, let's just go to the store and here's your budget, and here's how much money you have to spend. Pick the things that you really want.
And he immediately six is going to be seven this year. He immediately picked two realistic looking firearms. One is a machine gun and the other was like a handgun and a knife and all this stuff. And I called his parents, because I'm a good you know, mom and mother in law, and I said, hey, is this okay? And they were like, sure,
it's fine. So I buy him this stuff. And they had the orange caps at the end of the fake guns, right, and I sat them both down and I explained to them that they never take those off, and that it's very important that they never take those off because those are the things that tell police officers that they're fake guns, so that they will not have a problem if the police officers see them with their guns. And throughout the weekend, I just reiterated that and reiterated that because that's what
my dad did with us when we were kids. I grew up in a house with firearms that were easily accessible. I'm going to be straight up blunt about it. My dad had one of those beautiful glass cased gun cases, you know what I mean. I'm sure this was a thing out here in Colorado at some point, but in my hometown, people displayed their firearms.
For everyone to see.
It was not unusual to walk into someone's home and if they had a fireplace, which was not extremely common in Florida, as you can imagine, there would be like three firearms hung over the top that were maybe their great grandfather's rifle or something like that. So I grew up in a home where firearms were easily accessible, but it never occurred to us to touch those firearms because
my father was constantly drilling that stuff in. I never had a chance to kill myself with one of his firearms because I knew he would murder me if I touched them. Right, So, these little lessons, you just have a chance to sort of instill that in your kids. This is a great way to do it. Now, got a couple things I want to talk about. This one
I said at the beginning of the show. I had conversations over the weekend with younger people who will have been given information that is so wrong and yet they believe it with absolute certainty about what's going on in the world. And I'm not gonna lie you guys. When people come to me and say, what is Donald Trump doing? I don't have an answer. I don't have an answer right now because some of this stuff is just beyond
what I can figure out at this moment. I do believe he has a plan, I just don't think he's sharing it with us. I do believe that he has a plan on these tariffs, which are absolutely royaling the market today, I mean just just really really caused some problems for the market. And it is We're moving up right now. The Dow's down two point five to nine percent, that's not as bad as it was. S and P is down to three point three percent, and the Nasdaq
is down four point seven percent. So the markets are getting killed by the tariff situation. But he is basically saying, hold steady, hold steady, it's gonna be okay. But he needs to do more than just say it's gonna be okay. But I digress. I digress. This next story is one of the things that is circulating that these kind of things are the young people who don't like Trump, they
immediately believe this stuff. The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is now trying to find out who hung up a fraudulent flyer announcing random genital inspections in public restaurants. Not public restaurants, public restrooms. The flyer was signed as the Jefferson County
Sheriff's Department. That's not its actual name, but it did include the agency's logo, and the flyer said, in compliance with recent executive orders, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department will be conducting random genital inspections at all public restrooms beginning April twenty first, twenty twenty five. Just to be clear, no one in any restroom anywhere has been authorized to demand to see your junk nowhere, nowhere. Is this happening nowhere,
but this is what's passing for. I don't know comedy.
Is that good.
The first thing I thought of is is some dude in a uniform going to show up on that date and walk into the ladies room and demand to see people's genitals. That could be the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. By the way, does not think this is funny, and they sent on a message to said, look, our agency is not going to be involved in anything of this sort. The Sheriff's Office will not tolerate anyone misrepresenting our agency
or misuse of our logo in such a manner. Now they are trying to identify the people who put up the alarming flyer. I can tell you this from personal experience. It's really easy to hang up an inappropriate flyer somewhere. And I'll tell you my story of me hanging up in inappropriate flyers just because I still think this is funniest, you know what. So when I was in college, so nineteen twenty, I worked for the Florida Senate Sergeant at
Arms office during the legislative session. So while the Florida Legislature was in session, I worked for the department that did things like moved stuff from office to office, delivered huge amounts of bulk mail. And when I say huge amounts, I mean massive amounts of bulk mail. And we stood at the doors of committee meetings and counted the number of people coming in and out, so we maintained fire code in those meetings. That was the whole job I mean it was like the easiest gig I ever had
in my life. And back then in nineteen ninety one, it paid fifteen dollars an hour, which was a crapload of money. So it was a great, great job. When the legislative sessions would get out, like the House would released or the Senate would would go into recess, everyone would rush to the bank of elevators and they would all cram into the elevator. So you'd be in an elevator, and I'm not exaggerating when I say there would easily be twenty people in these elevators that were made for
like ten Right, So there's a Far Side cartoon. Everybody remembers the Far Side. If you don't, you need to go back and buy all the books because they're worth it. There was a Far Side cartoon that was it showed an elevator with the doors open, and there was a bunch of elephants in the elevator, right, and there was a dude standing in front of the elevator right at the front where the door's open, and the caption and there's an elevator, an elephant outside the elevator, and the
caption said to Gary's horror. Yet another elephant decided to come on the elevator, and it reminded me of being on the elevators after recess. So I printed them all out, and you know where the elevator inspection certificate goes in that little little window right there. I just dropped that cartoon into that space in all of the elevator banks. Took me, like, I don't know, three minutes to put him in all the elevator banks, and then I just left it.
That was it.
Boy, did it cause a kerfuffle way more than I imagined because I just thought it was a funny joke about the elevators being super crowded. But apparently some members of staff took it as a criticism of their size, which, to be fair, it could have been, but in reality
it was not. It just it could have been. They took it very personally that I was calling them elephants in their mind when I was just kind of making a joke, and I almost got away with it, but one of my coworkers ratted me out and I got called into my boss's office because they called the sergeant at arms to find out who put this in the elevators. Now they didn't have cameras in the elevator. So I
was like, okay, I'm getting away with it. No, the stupid jerk ratted me out and I had to go and talk to my boss and he looked at me and this is exactly what he said. He goes, I should have known it was you. It just seemed like something you do, Mandy, something you do. And I was like, you gotta admit it was funny. He's like, funny or not. You cannot cover up the inspection sign for the elevators. That was the issue. So if I just stuck it up with tape in the elevator, but then it would
have been easier to get out. So it's hard to find people. So maybe somebody will wrap this person out. I don't know, because it is really challenging to figure out who puts this stuff up.
Mandy.
I'm just sitting back and chuckling at the Trump effect on our economy. Crazy like a fox, Mandy? Or is he dumb as a rock? What do you think he knows about tariffs that ninety five percent of actual and expert economists are missing. I still, you, guys, I still believe that the tariffs are designed to reduce the tariffs on our products in these countries. I still believe that where you consider that the Canadian tariffs on dairy are over three hundred percent, at some point you begin to
look at it like that. Now I could be totally wrong, because now he's throwing in you're not doing enough at the border on fentinol or you're not. I mean, what are we muddying the waters for use the tariffs to be you know, punitive to reduce other tariffs. And I'm down with that, but it's just it's all very garbled right now. Mandy. My flyer covered part of a COVID sign sign originally said cover up, it's the law. I put a red mandate sign over the word law.
Well done.
See. I like passive aggressive stuff they do. I like it a lot, Mandy. I think that some Trump paters are doing stuff that exaggerates Trump DEI policies to enrage people. Latest example is the Inola gay story. At least I hope that's the case. No Enola Gay was removed from a website because it had gay in it, even though it of course is the plane that dropped bombs during World War Two. Oh Mandy, you're so cheeky. You have no idea.
Texter.
I used to be way more passive aggressive than I am now, so I'm actually much much calmer now. I'm I'm calmer, Mandy. Trump was the one who agreed to these tariffs in his first term, and he calls them terrible.
Yeah, I know, I know.
I went back into a little bit of digging because specifically I went back and looked at Trump and NATO. In his first term, he consistently, consistently asked NATO to do the right thing, and it has only been in the past year that we now have twenty three of thirty two NATO nations that are meeting the minimum defense
spending requirement. But it's funny because people are all saying Trump wants to blow up NATO, he hates NATO, when he has said over and over again, if everybody in NATO was doing what they were supposed to do, it would be a great organization. But the reality is we still fund a vast majority of NATO. I mean, it's like seven hundred and fifty five billion from US four
hundred and sixty three billion total from everybody else. Anyway, Mandy, why isn't anybody talking about the stock market and how everyone's four one ks are being wiped out? Curious what the stock market experts are saying, but nobody's really talking about that. It's very concerning because nobody knows what's gonna happen next. The uncertainty is what the problem is right now.
Business hates uncertainty. They despise uncertainty. And with respect Texter, we've had about a and I don't know this number to be exactly correct, but I heard it in the news. Over the past couple of days, we've seen about a ten percent decrease in the stock market. Ten percent. Now it's a big number, right, that's since Trump took office. Ten percent is a big number, But that's not a wipeout.
We're not talking about the Great Depression. And as soon as we get some kind of certainty on what the tariff situation is going to be, I think settle things settled down, or companies commit to building things in the United States of America, it's gonna be chaotic for a while, you guys. But the thing that I found the most disconcerting about the way people are reacting is everybody says not everybody. A lot of people are saying, we got
to cut government spending. But then when they cut government spending, they're like, oh, not like that. Yeah, where did you think they were gonna cut it from? Honestly, we turned the station over to Rocky's Baseball at two o'clock this story. I am fascinated by this a Rod. I have a question if Jocelyn hooked up with an a Rod made sex robot, is that cheap?
What in the hell? Oh yeah, I mean robots.
Yeah.
The survey to investigate how AI is redefining intimacy and sexual health was put to one thousand people whose average age was forty. There was fifty four percent men, forty four percent female, generationally eight percent, where baby boomers twenty four percent were gen X fifty two percent, millennials sixteen percent gen z Key. Findings included that three out of five people would trust an AI tool over a doctor to diagnose ED. Additionally, one in four individuals express comfort
with their partner being intimate with a robot modeled after themselves. Yeah, no, no, occasionally like you can't be bothered, Like, oh I'm I'm tired, I'm wow. I did, yes, go see my a rod two point zero.
Nope, that's weird.
I I think I'm just gonna say this, and there's no there's no delicate way for me to say when I'm about to say, Okay, as we get older, especially postmenopausal menopause, and I'm just gonna say it. Not for every woman, not for everyone, but it can destroy a woman's sex drive, destroy it. One of the benefits of HRT, of Homer and replacement therapy is getting that back. But I could see some women it had been married for a long time being like, sure, honey, go knock it out.
I don't care. I'm interested to see how the entire like companions slash robot thing, what that does to human relationships, because I think it would be really cool at first to have some kind of pre programmed man in my life where I could program him to like all of the same things that I do, and I could program him to know exactly how to compliment me, and I could program him to make all of my favorite dishes
and rub my feet and take care of me. But I think that would get kind of boring after a while. And I might be an outlier here, but I don't want someone who is exactly like me. I don't want someone who's you know, I'm I'm never going to get pushedback from. I don't know, I don't isn't That might just be me, I don't know. More than a third of gen Z respondents admitted to using chat GPT to combat feelings of loneliness. Yeah, that's just sad. By the way,
I've been using grock more and more. I find grock to be more accurate than chat GPT, Chat GPT. I asked it. What question did I ask it this week? Oh? I asked if Werner Hertzog was dead the actor. I said, Hey, is Werner Hurtzog dead? And they said, yes, he's still alive. Like, Okay, that's not the question the way I asked it. But whatever, it's fine. It's all good. So it's okay, guys. The Dow is making a bit of a comeback now down one point seven percent seven five percent twenty four minutes
to go. The market is bouncing back just a little bit after today's sell off. Nasac's still down three point five s and p down. I missed that one, so I'll have to come back and tell you that. I'd love to know from you guys, like what would happen Chuck two thousand. Yeah, yeah, because the Chuck nineteen sixty four model it's a little outdated, starting to get a little rusty in some places, you know what I mean, a little squeaky in some places. I could never it's now,
it's classic. Now, it's like a classic model though it's like a vintage model. Can never turn it in now. Not just you, Mandy. Life is more fun when you have differing opinions. Mandy, I would prefer my wife get a jam Martzing or John Ham robot. She can have me anytime. Maybe I could get the robot of my choice. Selma Hyatt comes to mind. See now that different And I think if you asked that question, and I'll change the question to if you if your spouse had a
robot of their hall pass right. I mean, this is such a funny concept, and I think couples joke about it or whatever, like you know, the person that you're allowed to, you know, step out on your spouse with, even though they're always famous and you're never actually going to have that opportunity, Like the chance of me bumping into and having sex with Tom Selleck very small, very small, but you know, we got to have those funny conversations.
But if you ask themone, hey, if they got a robot of their hall pass and they were someone super hot, either male or female, I think that would change the equation. People would be okay, well, as long as they're still doing it with me. Essentially, I don't care as long as the robot looks like me. But then again, why would you want to have a robot that looks like your spouse?
You got that, Mandy.
I would program him to fight with me once in a while, but then you already know what he's gonna say because you programmed them. I like the curve balls that my husband throws at me on occasion. I don't mean literal curveballs, Mandy. You remember Cherry two thousand, Yes.
I do.
That's why the Chuck two thousand was funny. My wife would have Jack Reacher. Maybe she could share with you. Haha, now we're talking.
I don't.
I am not interested in a robot. I'm interested in, you know, actual people. A robot is an appliance, says this text. Connection is an intimacy or with people. Sure, people can feel connected with inanimate objects, but that connection is only one way. True relationships are both ways and becomes so much more with the development of AI. It's not just going to be a one way relationship as AI gets more complex and gets more adapt and adapting
to the person that it's dealing with. You know, we talked about this on a totally different subject with robots. We talked about with Thomas Frye about how education is going to change, because what we're gonna end up doing is every kid from the time they are in kindergarten, they will have their AI teacher that will stay with
them throughout their entire school career. And this AI teacher is going to start to understand how that particular child learns right, and they're going to evolve and adapt to whatever style that particular kid needs. They're going to have a very personalized and highly personalized A teacher AI teacher that will stay with them. This is going to be
the same thing. You know, if you love classical music and you play classical music a lot, your AI robot could immediately download everything there is to know about classical music so they can converse with you. If you love baseball, imagine being able to look at a super hot robot sitting next to you and get the baseball stats from nineteen forty five. I just think this is game changer, and I'm not sure what exactly is going to have us. I worry about. I worry about the future of relationships
and child creating very much so. Mandy, as long as the robot was my skinnier younger self, wouldn't that be something? Mandy, my wife bought me a sex robot for our anniversary. Well she loves you, sir. Yeah, God's gonna kill us. Sodom and gomorrah, Mandy. Tom Selleck, his kickstand is for sure broken. Shut your mouth. There's nothing wrong with tom Selleck. Nothing still perfect going on eighty It's still perfect in my opinion. We've got to ride this chaos. He is
mass Oh, you're talking about Trump. I bet you in your lifetime you would never utter the word sex robot. Hey, watch the Jetsons, you know, and you know George never mind, never mind. Anyway, that's on the blog today. There are also serious stories on the blog today. I've got a great call of by Dick Wadhams about whether or not a Republican can win the governor's mansion in Colorado, and he kind of lays out some of the people who have already declared to run for governor. I have a
few people I'd really like to see run. I would love to see Barb Kirkmeyer run. I think she is just so smart and good at articulating, especially the budget woes that we have in Colorado, how they are absolutely one hundred percent the cause or caused by the excessive spending that we have in the state. That's on the blog today. Let's see, Oh, we got another candidate for the chairman of the GOP. This one Richard Holdtorf. Richard is a very affle fellow. He has not laid out
a plan. I'd like to see specific plans for how people, whoever's in charge, they have to bring the party back together. We have to bring the two factions, three factions are aver many factions there are now. We have to bring them back into the room to have a conversation, to heal the wounds of the Republican Party that have been created by the current leadership and create a cohesive party that can push back on some of the worst impulses of the current leadership. Here, Mandy, I want one to
look like my wife. We got married over forty years ago. Now would you get it where she looks like now or would you get it how she looked when she was young, because that'd be pretty cool. Because I didn't meet Chuck until I was in my thirties. I was past the hottest stage of my life by the time I met him, so that would be kind of cool, Mandy. If the Teachers Union has anything to do with this,
there will be no individualized learning for any student. They will be mandated to fail at the same level in each grade, just like the union insures now. Yes, definitely. Oh, I forgot, I have to break right now. I forgot what hour we were in. I was doing the last hour of the show. I'll be right back. They got a lot of videos. A baseball is not your thing. I got stuff you can read, I got stuff you
can watch. I got the tweet that Secretary of State Marco Rubio sent out about canceling eighty three percent of the programs at US aid, I'm down for it. Uh, we got the sex robot thing. Oh, I'm going to get Glendale Mayor Mike Donohan on the show because when I first moved here twenty thirteen, I was on KHOW in the morning, and one of my first connections was to Mike Donafhin, the Glendale mayor, and he was on the show because there was a big kerfuffle going on
with a rug store. It was just a thing. And the reason there was a kerfuffle about a rug story is that Mike Dunafin had this vision of what he wanted Glendale to be, and he wants Glendale to be the center, the hub of entertainment activity in the Denver metro. He wanted to create an entire entertainment zone and he had this big vision and he had this plan and
it was just, well, it's happening now. And it's funny that Arod sent me a video today from TikTok about a woman talking about the four mile project finally really getting ramped up. And I have to tell you, I think it is a great idea and the timing could not be more perfect because who wants to go downtown now, No one. One interesting thing that I also took away from this, you know we're hearing over and over and over again, movie theaters are going under. Movie theaters are
you know they're closing. We have a big closed when right up here at Colorado and not Colorado. Is that Hampden right there with the movie theater on the when you're going north on I twenty five. You know what I'm talking about. Is that that's Hamden that has closed. Yeah, it's Hamden because at Colorado the Dave and Busters and the United Art Artist movie theaters right there. So we have I mean, we have a lot of movie theaters
are closing. Alamo draft House is going to open up a massive another Alamo draft House in this entertainment district. You gotta look, if I'm a movie theater, I look at Alamo and say, what are they doing that we're not? And you can say, well, they serve booze and they have table service and all that stuff. That's not why Alamo is successful. It's because they don't just run first run movies. They have movie events. They have reruns of
movies that haven't played on the big screen. And god knows how long I went and saw White Christmas on the big screen at the Alamo draft House because I love that movie. But as it came out in the nineteen forties, my window to see it on the big screen had slam shut. So many decades ago. So it's like, I wonder why other movie theaters don't say, Okay, what are they doing that we can do? What are they doing that we can do the same now Tomorrow the show is even shorter than today's. I know, I know,
but SEU buffs basketball. They're playing in the tournament. We'll find out if they move on in the tournament, and we'll do all of that tomorrow. In the meantime, though, I do know that there's a lot of stuff happening with the what what is today called? Is it the it's it's called something where it's like the the I can't remember what I just heard it called. Where you're
outside the window of contracting stuff. You can't sign a contract until Wednesday, but Monday and Tuesday agents and teams can.
Talk about what is it to tampering period?
Preek period, that's it, which I find weird.
