Speaker 4 (00:26):
Welcome, Welcome into a Wednesday edition of the show.

Speaker 5 (00:29):
I'm your host for the next three hours.

Mandy Connell, joined, of course, by my right hand man.
He's Anthony Rodriguez.

Speaker 5 (00:35):
Finally made it to work after enjoying some of Colorado's
construction magic on I twenty five. Hey, Rod, where's that
construction taking place right now in the middle of the
day when lots of people might be on I twenty five.

Speaker 6 (00:50):
Like literally from you are impacted from like spear all
the way towards Hell. I don't know far after the
stadium south bound.

Speaker 5 (01:00):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 6 (01:01):
I guess We're in the business now of doing road
maintenance in the middle of a work day.

Speaker 7 (01:05):
So that's cool.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
I long believed that all roadmatings should be done in
the middle of the night. I just think that's what
it should be done.

Speaker 5 (01:11):
Selfishly.

Speaker 6 (01:12):
When I used to produce Broncos Country Night at night,
it would make my night.

Speaker 5 (01:15):

Speaker 8 (01:17):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (01:17):
But I still agree. Yeah, what the hell are we doing?
What are we doing? I saw what they were doing,
you know, doing something looks like some patchwork. Yeah, well
those holes have been here forever, where you've been this
whole time, and now we're gonna do it during the
mail of work day.

already gone to mandy'sblog dot com and read it. I
just wanted to say thank you. It means a lot

(02:15):
to me. In a weird sort of way. It feels
very affirming, like I can sit in this room for
three hours and not talk to anyone but Adrod, and
I'm perfectly fine. But for some reason, it matters more
to me that you read the blog. I mean, I
want you to listen too, don't get me wrong, but
it's more special. I guess when you read the blog anyway,
just because so a few of you do it.

Travis Hunter says it's two way or no way about

(04:26):
the five second rule. Those are the headlines on the
blog at mandy'sblog dot com. Uh So, wait a minute,
let me find the text that made me thank you
guys Mandy per the blog on the blog post on
the five second rule, everybody knows dog here as a
condiment because a guy did a study on the five

(04:47):
second rule.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
Do you adhere to the five second rule? Typically?

Speaker 7 (04:49):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (04:50):
Okay, so I used to until I got a dog
that sheds this super fluffy, like, very very fine hair.
Jinx has very very fine hair, so it's kind of
it's everywhere, But you can't pick it off food because
it just goes quick and just so anything that falls
on the floor of the kit now is it can't
be rinsed. Now, I'll rinse it off and eat it.

(05:11):
But the dog here is the thing you gotta worry about.
I'm not worried about germs. I don't live my life
worried about germs. You can't, It'll make you crazy. This
is why I could never date or marry someone who
worked in like the microbiology field, because I don't want
to know. I'm perfectly fine not knowing. Okay, is it
gonna kill me?

Speaker 10 (05:31):
No?

Speaker 4 (05:31):
Okay, then I'm fine not knowing. I wash my hands
all as well. I'm gonna go through life not knowing
what exists in that crack in my cutting board. But
it's been there for like two years. But I love
that cutting board, so I don't want to get rid
of it, even though a microbiologist will probably tell me
I'm going to die from it someday, I don't want
to know. So when it comes to the five to

(05:52):
second rule, when I don't have a dog one hundred percent,
if it's down there for less than five seconds, I'm
eating it. But if you it here that you don't
want to know what's actually happening, then don't go.

Speaker 5 (06:03):
To the blog.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
The one thing I will say about that is when
the five second rule has been involved in my life,
it was for immediate consumption. There wasn't time for bacteria
to grow on that stuff, and I'm sure my stomach acid.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
Killed it all.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
Anyway, it's fine, it's fine, Mandy. We listened to you
on the radio, not read a friggin blog. Sorry, but
don't get upset with us. I need you to do both,
because you guys, I am.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
Deploying some incredible sarcasm on the blog that doesn't make
it onto the show. This isn't a multi platform programs.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
And if you don't read it, then that joke does
not reach enough ears. Because some of the jokes that
I make on the blog. You guys are worthy of
so much more.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
Embrace the MPP. Yes, exactly what the multi platform?

Speaker 2 (06:54):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (06:54):
What's the last I said?

Speaker 7 (06:56):
Program?

Speaker 5 (06:56):
Program? Multiplatform program?

Speaker 6 (06:59):
You say without first.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
I said yes, and then I realized, wait a minute,
I'm I don't.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
Know if I know what that trust means. Well, you're not.
I know you. You're not going to do anything obscene
on the air. That's not going That was like an
audible trust fall. Yes.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Wait, wait, hold on, yeah, well I thought I did,
and then I realized, wait, there's an extra p there
that I'm not accounting for that.

Speaker 5 (07:24):
I got confused by.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
Mandy that Jinks hair is floating around. You eat it
all night long, and that's perfectly fine because I'm asleep
right along with the spiders that we inevitably eat in
the middle of the night. What is it like, eight
spiders a year? Is that what we're told we eat?
I know it's creepy, but I don't know how.

Speaker 5 (07:40):
Accurate that is.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
And I want to know who came up with that
random number. Feels like the ten thousand steps number that
was just randomly. Everybody went, oh, that sounds good.

Speaker 5 (07:47):
We'll just we'll go with that.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
This might surprise you, says this text. But some of
us only have finite time for this stuff. That is
a valid reason. But you're telling me when you're on
the potty you don't have time to read the blog.
I'm just say you're not doing anything else in there.
Don't be making phone calls while you're in there. That's weird.
Do not make phone calls when you're in the bathroom.
I find that oddly awful. Anyway, this texter says, I

(08:13):
have to be quicker than five seconds. My dog can
get it into my training of jinks to come running
every time I yell housekeeping now is complete.

Speaker 5 (08:22):
I just have to go ha.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
And she's like right there because she knows I want.

Speaker 5 (08:26):
Her to clean something up.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
Mandy also regarding the five second rules, since McDonald's food
doesn't decompose in several years, it is perfectly Okatie that
chicken McNugget that has been left in your passenger guard
seat for over a week.

Speaker 5 (08:38):
That grossed my wife out.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
No, I'm not no, no, no, I will not affirm
in any way, shape or form what you just sent.

Speaker 5 (08:47):
Text her.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
I am hashtag team wife on this fully anyway, I
do want to update because I've been pretty hard on
the audience about this Venezuelan gang member over the last
couple of days. A lot of people are saying, Mandy
the Maryland dude, twenty twenty one, domestic violence investigation in
a restraining order.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
This is the new news today.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
But guys, gals, it still doesn't change the fact that
the due process set out by the United States of
America was not followed. I have never, not once on
these airwaves, argued that this guy doesn't deserve to be deported.
But what he wasn't supposed to be was deported back
to El Salvador, and he had more due process that

(09:32):
that was due him. It's the due process, the lack
of due process, that should horrify everyone. I actually think
this guy should be brought back to the United States,
given proper due process, and then be deported to somewhere
else other than El Salvador. That would be a perfectly
fine disposition of this situation, because then due process has

(09:54):
been followed.

Speaker 5 (09:56):
So be clear about what we're talking about.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
I am consistent because and I said this guy didn't
get due process, I still have seen nothing, not a
single thing where it was proven that he was a
part of a gang or accused of gang related activities.
I saw a couple judges that were like, yeah, okay,
it fits the bill, We'll go ahead and assume that's true.
I'm waiting for somebody to get into these guys, like

(10:19):
the actual courts stuff and find out what actually went down,
because I haven't seen that either. Housekeeping, how fun we
yield vacuum either way works.

Speaker 5 (10:29):
It's amazing.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
My dog who cannot listen to me when I tell
her to stop or sit when we're outside the house man,
she hears housekeeping.

Speaker 5 (10:35):
She knows exactly what that is. Mandy, Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
The fact you call housekeeping to come have chinks come
clean stuff up off the floor is hilarious. I might
start after using that, if you don't mind. Lol coming
from somebody who runs a housekeeping department at a ski area,
please do. I stole it from someone else that is
not original to me. I had friends that had these
two little, you know, those little mop looking dogs.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
I never know what they are. They're kind of fuzzy.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
They're not poodles, but they're just they look a little
bit like a mophead. They had those and they did
the same thing, so I stole it. Hey, Mandy, your
show comes on while I'm at work, so I have
plenty of time to read it.

Speaker 6 (11:13):
Well done, common doors or Hungarian sheep dogs.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
No, no, no, they're little. They're like loss of lops.
Those shit to something like that.

Speaker 5 (11:21):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (11:22):
All those little furry dogs look the same to me.
It's a I don't have anything against them. I just
would not actually have it, Mandy, Why can't they review
it with him absent? I would be fine with that
if that's allowed under the rules. I don't know what
the rules are. I would be fine with that. And
this is the thing, you guys, This casual discard of

(11:44):
due process when it got inconvenient by those on the
right is what scares me and makes me unhappy when
we start to just act like, well, you know what,
maybe the rules, the rules are dumb. When we're in charge,
we're not always going to be in charge. And this
is the same argument, and I've made on the radio
for over twenty years now, it's we're not always going
to be in charge. And if you're ready for the

(12:06):
other team to casually ignore the rules and deny other
people like the January sixth defendants due process?

Speaker 5 (12:14):
How did that go when they didn't get due process?
Now they are US citizens, So it is a horse
of a different color. But is it really We need
to be consistent people.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
I mean, our entire system of government, our entire society
relies on people mostly doing the right thing. That's you know,
Ben Franklin said when asked what form of government they
had formed, and he said, a republic if you can
keep it, because the republic requires a certain morality. Democracy
really requires a certain morality, and we.

Speaker 5 (12:47):
Collectively as a society have to decide.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
We are going to follow the rules and we are
going to treat people equally under those rules. This is
why all of the politicians, you know, insider trading and
doing all the stuff they do and they never get
held to account. Is so incredibly frustrating because the rest
of us are being judged by a second set of rules.
But it doesn't mean that we should just say, well,

(13:10):
all the rules are out the window, because that is
the most sure sign of the downfall of a society
when people stop deciding to follow the rules because they've
decided the rules are not just and in some cases
they are not. Everything falls apart, corruption takes over, and
before you know it, you're an actual banana republic. We

(13:32):
just be the biggest banana republic in the history of
banana republics. I'm always going to advocate that we do
the right thing. I'm gonna try to always advocate. That's
my intention, that's my pledge of consistency.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
For you guys.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
I'm always going to try and advocate for the rule
of law. I'm always going to try and advocate that
we do the right thing instead of the thing.

Speaker 5 (13:53):
That may feel good.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
So it's not always going to happen, but that's my goal.
So we'll see what happens here. Mandy, how would you
deport someone to a country that's not their home country.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
Isn't that smuggling? I do not know the answer to
that question.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
His parents did go from El Salvador to Cuba first,
and then they immigrated here from Cuba, but mostly because
if you come from Cuba and you can get a
foot on the ground, you get to stay. That's the
wet foot drifoot and that has been that way. Actually,
do they just change that? I have to go back
and look, they may have changed that, but they came

(14:30):
through Cuba, so in theoretically they could deport him back
to Cuba, but he was there for a little while
as a kid, So you know, that's not my problem though,
that's the immigration Department's problem.

Speaker 5 (14:42):
Uh Mandy.

Speaker 4 (14:43):
If El Salvador says they won't return him, do we
invade he is their citizen.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
No?

Speaker 4 (14:47):
But I mean, realistically, you guys, if the president of
the United States of America, who is paying you six
million dollars a year to house illegal immigrants that you've
shipped into this prison, calls you and say, as we
need this guy back or everything we're doing is probably
going to fall apart, what do you think the guy's
gonna do? Do you really think that the president of

(15:11):
Venezuela has the ability realistically, I mean really realistically, do
you think he has the ability in the sense of
state craft overall to say no to the President of
the United States of America, regardless of who it is.
I think that's a little bit absurd.

Speaker 5 (15:29):
They don't have you know, talk about what's the phrase
that Donald Trump used with Zelenski. They don't have the cards.
That's why this whole thing stinks so bad. To me.
It stinks because it seems like they're they're deferring to
the president of El Salvador when it comes to this

(15:49):
case a little too easily, and it feels like is
this guy even alive? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
Now, there's a lot of US senators who have hopped
on airplanes to fly to El Salvador or to advocate
for the return of this man. This is this is
the cross they're gonna die on right now. Funny one
of them, as far as I know, has gone to
Israel to go to the Gaza Strip to advocate for
the return of the American Israeli who is still being
held hostage.

Speaker 5 (16:14):
Not one. I saw a tweet earlier on x.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
That was tweeted by a guy who apparently, and I'm
going to look this up because I think this is very,
very interesting, the guy who was held captive in Iran
and his name I'm not I'm gonna try Jiju Wang.
Maybe His tweet says I was a New Jersey resident
Senator Corey Booker's constituent when I was jailed in Iran

(16:41):
as an American hostage. Senator Booker never advocated for my
release and refused to speak to my wife Senator Booker
is a hypocrite, and again this is all for show.
They don't really give a ratsp but duty about this guy.

Speaker 5 (16:56):
But I would like to know that the guy is
still alive because he didn't get due process. It's all
about due process, seriously, Mandy. A thought on the l
Salvador guy. Oh, I have enough time.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
I like to try to consider things from other involved perspectives.
If I was attempting to move forward with an export
of Invader's agenda, and I figured out I may have
made an error and that relenting to that might badly
damage that agenda, I would make plans to correct that error,
but I would do it on.

Speaker 5 (17:31):
The back burner.

Speaker 4 (17:32):
It's possible that the guy will find some remedy if
it's due, but possibly not until after it becomes a
back burner topic. Except it's not going to be a
back burner topic because the Democrats feel like this is
a winning topic for them, and to the extent that
they are advocating for the rule of law and due process,
they are right now. It must be unusual for them

(17:52):
to advocate for the rule of law and due process,
because again, they didn't feel the need to afford that
to many of the January sixth dependants. So yeah, Mandy,
illegals are not entitled to due process. Constitutional rights are
for US citizens except they are under the laws of
the United States of America.

Speaker 5 (18:10):
There's a whole thing. There's a whole thing, you guys.

Speaker 4 (18:15):
If you want to defend the Trump administration by just
looking past the fact that they said to the Supreme
Court that it was an administrative error that they deported
this guy, if you want to just blow that off,
that's fine, But you're not going to convince me that
just because Trump did it, crapping all over due process

(18:36):
and then I guess lying to the Supreme Court is okay,
it's not. It doesn't matter if it's Trump that does it,
or Biden that does it, or anybody else. And if
we don't as Americans start advocating for the rule of
law no matter who's in charge, we've lost the country already.
I don't mean to be a negative nelly, but come on,
you guys, let's jump.

Speaker 5 (18:55):
Right to it. Because this weekend I have.

Speaker 4 (18:58):
Enjoyed the heck out of the last couple of days,
gonna lie nights and warm, but we're not done with
wintery yet.

Speaker 11 (19:04):
We are not. You know, when we told you April
is Denver's second snowiest month, it should be no surprise
that the chance for snows still exists. You know, I'm
looking at the forecast as I always do before talking
with you, and you know it goes back to the
same conversation we had the last couple of weeks if
things started to green up and people wondering about turning
sprinklers on and is it too early to plant. Well,

(19:25):
I've got three mornings Friday morning, Saturday morning, and Sunday morning,
all with temperatures below freezing. Yeah, twenty eight to twenty
eight to thirty degrees. So that is why we always
say don't go too fast into spring. You've got to
wait until Mother's Day before we can guarantee you that
those overnight lows won't be below freezing. So yep, that's

(19:46):
what we're looking at. We got snow starting Thursday after midnight,
on and off Friday, and wrapping up maybe a little
later Sunday morning. It looks like it may linger into
Sunday morning. We're still working on totals, Mandy, but you
may have to grab the trouble in a few places
A boo.

Speaker 5 (20:01):
Anyway, how about the mountains. I just saw today that
we are now well below the averages for snowpack. What's
going on up there?

Speaker 11 (20:10):
So yes, no question about that. But here's the thing.
When it comes to the snowpack in the mountains, and
I'm pretty sure we've covered this. We load the mountains
through April seventh. Anything that we can add to the
mountains after April seventh is a bonus, is a win
to the snowpack to increase those numbers. After April seventh,

(20:31):
we start to get into the melting and the draining
of those of those basins that feed the reservoirs and
the rivers and so forth. So to be seen the
numbers coming down, you're starting to see the influence of
some of that melting. So it's not a surprise to
see those basins, especially southwest southern Colorado that struggled to
get to eighty eighty five percent never really reached one

(20:53):
hundred percent. Not surprising to see them dropping quickly now
down to sixty fifty five percent. And even the northern
Front Range, well, the South Platt which feeds the Front
Range had been running over one hundred percent. Look good,
We're now down to like ninety three percent. Wow, So
are you're starting to see the influence of those numbers
coming down? So I don't pay attention as much to
the snowpack. What we have is what we have. If
we can load another six or ten inches, great, it's

(21:16):
a bonus. And I do think we're going to do
that in the next few days, because while we'll be
dealing with several inches down here, I can see some
six and ten inch totals in the central and northern mountains.
And right now there are no highlights for travel impacts,
but I guarantee you those will be hoisted by the
National Weather Service in the coming twenty four to thirty
six hours.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
So what am I looking at for my trip to
Winter Park this weekend? We're broadcasting from the Children's Hospitals,
Mighty Million, Raffle House, Ross and I both are on Friday.
So are we going to get caught in snow up
there this weekend?

Speaker 11 (21:45):
You definitely are, no question about it. Thursday, it starts
off as rain. It'll be a rain snow mixing. The
mountains should change over to snow pretty quickly with sunset
in the mountains. I don't know that your roads will
be terrible Thursday evening, But if you're planning on going
up Friday, you could run into some issues on the roads. Now,
the good thing about April snow is even at higher elevations,
is the sun angle is higher and it has more

(22:07):
influence on helping to keep the roads a little more
faught if you will.

Speaker 12 (22:10):
But you're always going to.

Speaker 11 (22:11):
Run into You're always going to run into convective snow
showers at this time of the year, which can have
a heavier burst of snow, and you can run into
quick patches of slushy, sloppy conditions. And certainly if you're
up hot you've got to go over Burst Pass, you
go over Birthday Pass. It could be a little bit
of a challenge. So I would say if you guys
you know, are heading up there, give yourself some extra
time and then it will continue to snow Friday. I

(22:32):
think the biggest impact on the roads, both there and
potentially down here, will be when the sunsets Friday night
into Saturday morning. I think that's when we'll have a
better chance of accumulating snow. So if you're going up
during the day and you want to get out of that,
I get going before sunset on Friday evening.

Speaker 4 (22:47):
Now, I just heard from our Fox thirty one weather
forecast in our news here that tomorrow we're going to
have a red flag day, and it got me thinking,
do we have we always had red flag days like
this early in the season.

Speaker 5 (22:59):
I always feel like that has.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
Traditionally come later in the summer, and it feels like
we're having them sort of outside that traditional window or
am I just misremembering things?

Speaker 11 (23:10):
Now we can get them. Your thought process is correct,
and that you think more of that when we get
into the heat of the summer and the dry days,
and certainly into the fall when you know we're in
that dry patch before winter kicks in. But talk to
any firefighter across the state, with our expanding population and growth,
the fact that we have you know dry periods. Really

(23:32):
fire weather season is all year long. So if you
think about when the Marshall fire hit, that was a
rest this morning day. Obviously from the roaring winds. We
had had a prolonged dry period. That was a period
where we didn't get snow until very late in the season,
and here early in the season you can get them
because we just haven't had a lot of moisture. March
was kind of stingy. Right now April we're running about

(23:54):
a half an inch behind, which, by the way, I've
been saying this on the air and I will continue
to do it if there is a silver lining. While
you may be annoyed with the fact that it's going
to snow Thursday night, all day Friday and too Saturday morning,
it's the moisture content though. We could get more than
a half an inch, maybe even six cents of an inch.
That may not sound like a lot, it is substantial.

(24:14):
And if your allergies have been kicking up, just wait
until next week. Everything's gonna take off, thinks.

Speaker 4 (24:20):
Thanks, that's exactly what I want to hear. Hey, the
allergies which have been killing you for the last six
weeks or go.

Speaker 5 (24:26):
About to get way way worse. That's that's not encouraging.

Speaker 4 (24:29):
So is this gonna be big, heavy snow? Is this
going to be hard to shove the snow?

Speaker 11 (24:34):
Yeah, it's gonna be heavy and wet. It'll melt underneath.
If it freezes overnight, you could have that coating in
your garage and driveway the roads. Again, I think elevations
may be above six thou sixty five hundred, So that
puts the foothills to the west, some communities obviously on
the south side of town. You know, we could be
looking at We're gonna work on the details of totals.
I'm thinking right now two to four, two to five,

(24:57):
there could be some six inch totals for the front
range from we're coming to the city to the south.
It says you get into the foothills and climb up
in elevation beyond seven thousand feet and higher into the
mounds where I think those totals could be deeper than that.
And yes, as it's typical in March and April, it'll
be the heavy, wet kind of concrete, if.

Speaker 12 (25:13):
You will, a shop road will weigh a.

Speaker 11 (25:15):
Lot, so you've got to be careful, watch your back.
I have that problem, So take it slow. If you're
using a snowblower and you've got four or five inches,
it's going to be like a slushy machine. It's not
going to throw it very far. But again, the moisture
content is going to be absolutely fantastic.

Speaker 4 (25:31):
Well, somebody said, I've got a weather question real quick
before we have to take a break here In just
a minute, Mandy. Is there an equivalent feels like temperature
table for humidity as there is with wind speed for
wind chill?

Speaker 11 (25:45):
There is it feels like temperature every single day. You
go to the National Weather Service website and you look
like you go to their homepage and you put in
the upper left hand corner. There's a box where you
can put in a city. It will bring up whatever
the sensor is closest to where you live, and it
will show you temperature, wind speed, And there's a feels
like right there, calculated every day. So on dry days
it'll be lower, on the humid days it could be

(26:05):
a little higher. It's always there and it's always calculated
in all right, And somebody.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
Just asked about to see you spring football game. It's
not this weekend, though? Is it this weekend? So is
Ralphie going to be running through the snow and boulder?

Speaker 11 (26:18):
I don't, Ayron, do you know what that came is?

Speaker 5 (26:20):
I'm not sure A Ron said it was this weekend.

Speaker 11 (26:24):
I thought it was this week I'm not sure. If
it is Saturday, yes, ralphild be running in some snow.
But you know what's interesting, and I know you've got
to go. I went to look to see when was
the last time Denver had three inches of snow in April?
You know what it was? When the nineteenth and twentieth
of last year we had three point three on the
nineteenth and three on the twentieth, six point three inches.

(26:45):
Guess what we got Friday and Saturday? What two to
six inches of snow? All right, a repeat igine that.

Speaker 4 (26:51):
But you know what, Davis, they always say in Colorado
we need the moisture. You're going to get it, all right, man,
Thank you. That's Save Frasier from Box thirty. You should
watch him and his team. They do a great job.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Well.

Speaker 5 (27:02):
Talks again next week, Dave. All right, that is Dave Fraser.
We'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
Mandy are red flag warnings. We were just talking to
Dave Fraser about that and oh where did it go?

Speaker 5 (27:15):
Dag Nevitt, It just it was just there. Hang on
one second, you guys look it up a different way.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
Okay, it says Mandy are red flag warnings. We were
rear ended four and a half weeks ago in a
little east of Sterling on I seventy six when we
all had to slow down quickly and then stop due
to heavy smoke from a grass fire. The guy behind
us apparently didn't think driving into a cloud of smoke
dictated slowing down. We were okay, but had to keep

(27:47):
moving or die of smoke inhlation or getting slammed into again.
Fortunately we were able to move on. Guy behind us
did too. We assume he was in a truck with
a brushguard. As no one was stranded. Patrol said we
did the right thing, getting out of their heads up
to others. Don't assume traffic is moving in a wide
out dust out or smokeout, and don't assume those behind

(28:09):
you will slow down. Just get off the road before
it's too late. And oh yeah, our van was totaled.

Speaker 5 (28:16):
Well, that sucks. That totally sucks. You know what else sucks?
This story.

Speaker 4 (28:20):
I have been tweeing with the thought of doing the
Manitou Incline for like six years now, But right now
I feel really good. My knee, my torn meniscous issue
seems to have resolved itself. However, that's going to resolve itself,
so I'm not having that issue right now. But I
see the story and I think to myself, Man, I

(28:41):
don't want to be this guy. It's very sad story.
Please don't think I'm making fun about it. A sixty
four year old Oregon man has passed away trying to
do the Manitou Incline.

Speaker 5 (28:53):
And you know, this is the part of the story that.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
Is a positive if there is one where you know,
the situation resulted in the death of a man, but
apparently there were people also trying or doing the Manitou
Incline who immediately intervened. They started doing CPR, they called
nine to one one, they tried to save the guy.
And whenever I hear stories like that, and I just
kind of imagine normal, everyday people jumping in to try

(29:23):
and save another person's life. It warms my heart. And
again it's not, you know, ideal. The man did not survive,
but if he had a massive cardiac arrest and there
might not have been anything that they could do. But
it's always heartwarming to me when I see these situations
where people just jump right in and try to do

(29:44):
something to save someone else. But if you're thinking about
going and doing the Manitou Incline, make sure that you
are ready to do the Manitou Incline. I think I
just need to do it. I built it up in
my mind a little too much. I mean, I've seen
the photographs, I know what it is, but let's be real,
I'm not going to jog up the Manitu Incline. How
long do you think it'll take me to get up
the Manitu incline a rod? I mean the record is

(30:06):
like thirty nine minutes or something crazy like that. So
most people, I think, take about an hour and a
half to go up.

Speaker 7 (30:12):
Yeah, I feel like.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
I can make just up and then it's another windy
trail to come back down on bar trails.

Speaker 5 (30:17):
One hour and forty seven minutes. I think I could
beat that. I could get it.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
I think I feel like i'd be okay at like
one forty five. And I've got a strategy because I've
been working I've been working out. We have some good
inclines in Douglas County, not remotely as big as the
Manitu Incline, but I've been doing the inclines in Douglas
County and I have a strategy that seems to work
for me. And I want to know if anybody else
does stuff like this. If I count the steps, it

(30:44):
doesn't seem like there's that many. Yeah, So I count
the steps, and then every hundred I stop and catch
my breath.

Speaker 5 (30:52):
And then I keep going.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
So every hundred and I think, there's how many steps
in the Manitu incline? I looked this up one time
out hang on how many steps in the man Okay,
there we go. There are two thy seven hundred and
sixty eight steps, So that means I would stop two
hundred and seventy point six times two hundred and seventy

(31:16):
six times roughly. But I think if I stop for
each of those for like three minutes, I should be fine.

Speaker 5 (31:22):
Every hundred steps.

Speaker 4 (31:23):
Have any of you guys out of our listening audience
done the Manitou incline and not like crazy? Like yeah,
me and my friends run up and down it for fun.
I don't want to talk to you. You're not my people.
You're too physically fit for me.

Speaker 5 (31:36):
I follow this fitness influencer on Instagram, and she is
She's a certified exercise physiologist. She's really good. I like
her workouts she does. I like to follow her. But
then the other day she did this whole series of
stories where she and all of her super hot fitness
friends went got together and for a day of fun.

Speaker 4 (31:54):
They didn't half marathon. And then at the after party,
they were like dropping down to see how many fish
have taken two together, and then they were doing squats
and all kinds of other stuff, and I was like,
these are not my people. My people are the people
who celebrate doing a half marathon by not doing a
half marathon, to be clear, but I'd love to know

(32:15):
if any of you have done it five six, six nine.
Oh ooh, Mandy, I think the record is like twenty
two minutes or something.

Speaker 5 (32:20):
What what Oh? This person made it up in under
an hour?

Speaker 3 (32:26):
Hm hmm.

Speaker 5 (32:29):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (32:29):
This person says, I'm thinking two to two and a
half hours for you to get up the main incline,
and that's because of my age. Okay, I want to
read this whole text, because this person started out trying
to be gentle before they stabbed a rhetorical knife into
my heart. Mandy, I love your show. That's the kindness
that's buttering me up. I've met you a few times,
but I'm thinking, and I am older than you by

(32:51):
the way, that I'm thinking to two and a half
hours for you to get up the Manitu incline. I'm
not ready to be insulting. I'm just saying that at
your age, it.

Speaker 5 (33:01):
Takes a little longer.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
So now I have to do it, and I have
to do it in less than an hour and a
half because of this person's text message. Okay, great, you
give me a goal. I'm gonna print this out and
I'm gonna carry it with me on a little piece
of paper, and every time I get super tired, I'm gonna.

Speaker 5 (33:17):
Be like, no, Mandy, you are not going to let
this text win.

Speaker 3 (33:22):
No.

Speaker 5 (33:24):
Oh gosh, a lot of you have done this. We'll
get to it when we get back.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and injury Lawyers.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
No, it's Mandy Connell.

Speaker 12 (33:35):
And Dona.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Ka n FM.

Speaker 6 (33:42):
Got Icy.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
Many Connell keeping No sad babe.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the second hour of the show.
I'm your host, Mandy Connall. That guy right there is
Anthony Rodrigue, and we will take you through the next
two hours. First of all, I am very pleased to
know that we have such a fit group of listeners
in my listening audience, because a lot of you are
sharing your tales of the Manitou incline and someone pointed
out a rod, what do you think the record is

(34:16):
for going up the Manitu incline?

Speaker 5 (34:18):
Just guess I think you said like twenty something right, Oh,
that was way high.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
II seventeen minutes and sixteen seconds set by Swiss mountain
runner Remy Bonnet on September twelfth of twenty twenty three.
He beat his own record of seventeen minutes and twenty
five seconds. The fastest Inclinethon, which is thirteen a cents
in one day, was done by a guy named Wade

(34:45):
Gardner in ten hours and thirty four minutes.

Speaker 5 (34:48):
That's that's nuts.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
Most cents in a year, Greg Cummings with eighteen hundred
and twenty five ascents. Most laps in a day by
female Andrea Sanson with nineteen vents in twenty four hours. Okay,
I'm not going for any of that. We're not going
to do that. That just seems a little excessive. But
a couple of people reached down and said, hey, I'd
like to do this with you and maybe raise a

(35:12):
little money for charity.

Speaker 5 (35:13):
And that's appealing because I'm very goal oriented, so I
need to know.

Speaker 4 (35:16):
I have a question for the listening audience and this
is very serious.

Speaker 5 (35:19):
We've talked about this before.

Speaker 4 (35:22):
Well, we've now reached peak woodpecker at my house. Okay,
So we used to have little finches, yeah, exactly, and
we have cedar siding right. Our house was built in
nineteen eighty three.

Speaker 5 (35:35):
And the little.

Speaker 4 (35:37):
Finches, you know, they're like like that, you know, We're like, oh,
it's a finch.

Speaker 5 (35:41):
Whatever.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
Now we have a full blown woodpecker. It's huge, and
when it hits the side of my house it sounds
like we are being shot out by fully automatic machine
machine gun. Oh no, it's way faster than that. It's like,
I mean, it's so loud. The first time that I
heard it, I hit the deck just to be you know,
I watched enough cops. I know what that sound is

(36:03):
not crazy. But now it's got a big old hole
in the siding. And here's what we've already tried. Just
to lay the groundwork of what we've already tried, we
have snakes nailed to the side of our house.

Speaker 5 (36:16):
That worked for a while. We had the fake owl
that worked for a.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
While, and then the woodpecker's like, hey, this thing never
blinks and it sure isn't coming after me.

Speaker 5 (36:25):
So we have tried the things. Now I have a
question for you guys.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
And this is my this is my my theory of
what I'm gonna do. Now that the hole in the
side of my house is about the size of.

Speaker 5 (36:33):
A softball, right, so big hole.

Speaker 4 (36:37):
And I was thinking, I have my Hero twenty twenty
which fires pepperballs for it, you know, pepper balls, And
so I thought, I, oh, by the way, this is
also thirty feet off the ground, so it's not anywhere
convenient for us to, you know, do something.

Speaker 5 (36:51):
It's incredibly inconvenient.

Speaker 4 (36:54):
So thinking about taking a little, you know, pepper ball gun,
the Hero twenty twenty that I have, and hiring a
pepper ball near that hole?

Speaker 5 (37:03):
Do you think that would work?

Speaker 4 (37:04):
And secondary question, in the off chance that I miss
and it goes into the hole, am I going to
gas my entire house inside? These are the questions that
I have right now. And these are questions honestly I
never had until I had I moved to Colorado, because
I've never lived in a place where woodpeckers just beat

(37:24):
their way through the side of your house. I mean,
I'm sure it happens other places. Every place has unique
and different things they have.

Speaker 5 (37:31):
To worry about. Every place has Like in Florida.

Speaker 4 (37:36):
You got to deal with bugs, and you got to
deal with snakes that'll kill you, and you got to
deal with alligators. And alligators they're really like a kind
of a no big deal situation. I realize people that
are not around alligators don't realize alligators are big and
dumb and slow and mostly scared of people.

Speaker 5 (37:53):
So you got bugs, mostly scared of people alligators.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
But here.

Speaker 4 (38:01):
You have bugs, says this texter. Woodpecker's trying to save
your family.

Speaker 5 (38:04):
But we don't. We don't have bugs. We've had the
house checked.

Speaker 4 (38:10):
They just want to nest in the wall of my home,
which apparently they are doing now. So this is question
number whatever in this series of questions. I'm looking for
answers on the Common Spirit health text line at five
six six, And I know what exactly is allowed in
this case, like perhaps if I had a pellet gun.

(38:31):
I'm not saying that's what's gonna I'm just saying, what
are the rules around this?

Speaker 2 (38:35):
You know?

Speaker 4 (38:37):
Now, you're always gonna have that pesky pecker. Being that
they are migratory, they will always come back. Well that's
not no, that is not going to do that. We
tried the shiny streamers, you guys, we tried them forgot
to add that one too, had the had the Yeah, Eric,
I agree with you that we need James Hardy five
or cement siding. But my house unfortunately has so much

(39:02):
siding on it that it would be prohibitively expensive for
me to replace all of my siding with James Hardy
fibers met siding. It's probably drumming to attract a mate,
says this text. Okay, that doesn't again help me? How
do I stop that? Make it stop? Orange and cedar
would essential oils repel them? Okay, that's useful information. How

(39:24):
do I get that up thirty feet? And where do
I put it? I would love to know that putting
up a woodpecker house work for us. Wildbirds Unlimited recommend it,
and it works. Our neighbors did it too. Now wait
a minute, text or I have a follow up question.
Is it on the side of your house? Is that
where you put it? I'm just gonna go to Wildbirds

(39:46):
Unlimited and ask them, Mandy the woodpeck woodpeckers are an
endangered species. What they are federally protected? We have cedar
siding also, and we just pound on the walls inside
and eventually they go away. That it works for the finches,
it does not.

Speaker 5 (40:02):
Work for this woodpecker.

Speaker 4 (40:04):
This woodpecker's like, I mean, I'm not saying he flipped
me the bird, but I'm saying if he could, he
would have been like no. We bang on the wall
and he stops for a second, and then like two
seconds later he's like even harder, like, oh, yeah, you
want me to stop.

Speaker 5 (40:17):
I don't think so. I don't know why.

Speaker 4 (40:20):
He sounds like he's from Jersey in my mind, but
he does. Mandy, I think woodpeckers are a protected species.
This is not the helpful I need you guys to
lie to me and tell me I can do illegal
things and have them not be illegal.

Speaker 5 (40:33):
You're not helping me.

Speaker 4 (40:35):
Get the oil that they were the same way you
got the snakes nailed up there, and the owl well
those have been up for a long long time, and
we had somebody else go up on the ladder.

Speaker 5 (40:43):
And put him up there.

Speaker 3 (40:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (40:47):
I am deadly accurate with a blowgun, and neighbors.

Speaker 5 (40:50):
Don't know what it is.

Speaker 4 (40:53):
Well in luckily for us, I guess the woodpecker has
also been harassing our neighbors as well.

Speaker 5 (40:59):
So there you go. You have to get a.

Speaker 4 (41:02):
Federal permit to exterminate a woodpecker. This is not going
the way that I want it to go.

Speaker 5 (41:10):
Hmm, Mandy. I had a neighbor who reinforced the back
of a bird house with metal and hung the bird
house over the whole.

Speaker 4 (41:17):
Can't beat them, join them, you know what. I'm kind
of there right now. I am definitely kind of there.

Speaker 5 (41:25):
Hi, Mandy.

Speaker 4 (41:25):
We have downy woodpeckers. Since we live along a creek
this time of year, that drilling away is just.

Speaker 5 (41:30):
A juvenile call.

Speaker 4 (41:31):
It's a teenager looking for others, except he's making a
giant hole in the side of my house.

Speaker 5 (41:38):
Did you guys miss that part? Mandy? Are there bird
wranglers out there? I don't know? Are there bird wranglers?
Is that a thing?

Speaker 4 (41:45):
By the way, we have a very funny video of
a guy who probably doesn't consider himself a bird wrangler,
but he was trying to wrangle a bird at a
hockey game. And if you've ever wondered what an irritable
condor looks like, you can watch that video and see
because this bird was just like I'm done. A drumming
is to attract a mate. A hole is making a home.

(42:08):
A house will attract one and keep others from nesting nearby.
So if that's you know, effective, they nest. Our house
looked like Swiss cheese as this texture.

Speaker 5 (42:21):
You can't kill them. They're protected. I have a house
that is oh where did it go? Where did it go?

Speaker 11 (42:30):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (42:30):
We've used the hose to shoot water at and we
tried that. Oh no, where did it all? Updated? And
it went away?

Speaker 4 (42:39):
Okay, we can deter them from our home from May
to September. First during that time is they're nesting time,
and they are federally protected from harassment or exclusion. That
is not what I wanted to see here. I have
a house that is ninety seven percent siding. Every time
I find this it read updates, weep at the bullet
and did the hearty siding. I'm not kidding when I

(43:01):
tell you that the hardy siding is prohibitively expensive. That
is cutting into my travel money and I'm not having it,
not having it at all.

Speaker 5 (43:11):
All Right. Umm, I've heard they taste like quail says
this text. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (43:19):
I do enjoy quail hang a cookie sheet on a
nearby tree for to drum on. It's not the drumming, guys,
it is the giant hole. And when I say giant,
I mean it's the size of a softball. Now it's huge,
absolutely huge. So hmm, Mandy, same as wolves, shoot shovel
and shut up.

Speaker 5 (43:38):
Okay, yeah this went. Wait a minute, you guys, mouse
trap trigger and a bit of C four, blame the
whole lot of lightning strike and get the insurance company
to pay for cement siding two for one win. Now
that is the kind of skullduggery I can get behind. No,
I'm not really doing that.

Speaker 4 (43:59):
I've never used before, so I'd be afraid I would
overdo it and take down my entire house.

Speaker 5 (44:05):
Mandy. If you can get up to where the.

Speaker 4 (44:06):
Hole is, you can put a small cup of ammonia
up there. The ammonia should be strong enough to drive
it away. That's not an option where this is located. Yeah,
not gonna happen anyway. If you have better suggestions, let
me know at five, six, six nine. Oh and there

(44:26):
you go, Mandy. It's only illegal if you tell your friends.
Now you text her, are getting you understood.

Speaker 5 (44:32):
The assignment.

Speaker 4 (44:33):
You understanding, you are picking up when I am laying down. Okay, Mandy,
we have one that pounds away at the metal vent
on our roof at six a m. Talk about a
rude awakening. Seriously, I mean typical teenagers though, aren't they, Mandy, A, J.
A and J Pest Bird Services. They do wonders with

(44:55):
bats too. When I was in high school, no excuse me,
middle school, So they found a dead bat in our gymnasium. Right,
So this gymnasium, I think you'd probably been built in
like nineteen sixty something, and it was.

Speaker 5 (45:10):
Old, and you know, it.

Speaker 4 (45:11):
Just smelled like an old gym. And they found this
dead bat and they tested in the bat had rabies.
So now they can't have bats in the gym with
all these kids, especially one with rabies. So they tell
us they're gonna have to tent the gymnasium and they're
gonna have to exterminate. They're gonna have to fumigate the
gymnasium to kill any bats that may be remaining in
the gymnasium. So we're like, ooh cool. So it was

(45:32):
the first time I'd ever seen a tented building, and
I still for whatever reason. Whenever I see that, I'm like,
ooh cool. I don't know why, because you don't often
see a tent around a house, but when you do,
you're like, oh, yeah, there's a tent on that house.

Speaker 5 (45:45):
I don't know why I'm excited about this.

Speaker 4 (45:47):
So they tent the gymnasium and they fumigated, and y'all
there were like, there were bats like knee deep in
the gymnasium when they got done, thousands and thousands of
bats that we had never seen until they exterminated them
all in a mass genocide of that bat population. And

(46:09):
growing up in Florida, you learn very quickly bats are
your friends.

Speaker 5 (46:12):
They are on the same side you are.

Speaker 4 (46:14):
When it comes to the battle against Mosquitoes. Bat seat
multiple times their own body weight every single night in Mosquitoes.
So if you can get a bat on purpose to
come to your property, and you do that by hanging
up a bathouse, and then you have to order some
bat poop or guano as it's called, and you put
the bat poop up in the bathhouse.

Speaker 5 (46:35):
And then the bats come live there.

Speaker 4 (46:37):
It was horrifying. It was like a horror movie. When
they fumigated our Gymnasium. It was amazing. Uh, woodpeckers are endangered. Yes,
I believe that we have cedar siding on our two
story mountain home.

Speaker 5 (46:51):
Hobby you used to power wash and stain homes.

Speaker 4 (46:52):
Hole will become an entry point for squirrels into the attic.

Speaker 5 (46:56):
Hobby fits holes.

Speaker 4 (46:58):
With cooking and later stains are pain over it. That
from Mountain Grandma. Okay, that's what we did last time, Mandy.

Speaker 5 (47:07):
Stucco.

Speaker 4 (47:08):
Guys can hardcoat your stucco will prevent woodpeckers.

Speaker 5 (47:11):
And that ates except we have siding. We have cedar
siding in our house.

Speaker 4 (47:15):
We have one of those Colorado like houses with cedar siding.
That's fantastic until the woodpeckers come to roost. So U,
when was the last time you painted your house? Paint
your house? They go away that that actually is not
true because they came back the year after.

Speaker 5 (47:36):
We painted our house. So there you go. Mandy, heads up.
Your iHeart broadcast is repeatedly repeating from time to time.

Speaker 4 (47:44):
I have forwarded these messages about the Ihart broadcast onto
the appropriate people, so hopefully somebody's gonna be working on
it soon. Mandy, we get excited about tented homes and
buildings because we're chen X and we all saw the
movie e t Oh my gosh.

Speaker 5 (47:58):
Pam, that could be true. Anyway, So.

Speaker 4 (48:07):
Mandy, hang a wolf from the side of your house
to send a message.

Speaker 6 (48:11):
I like that.

Speaker 5 (48:12):
It'll be tough to get him to stay up there.

Speaker 4 (48:14):
I mean, you know, we'll figure it out, though, we'll
definitely figure this out anyway. I've got other stuff on
the blog today that I want to talk about. But
I got to tell you, like the last few days,
we've had so much politics and everything else that has
just been kind of exhausting. But somebody sent a text
message to me, actually an email. I can go find
it right now. I know it was a text message earlier.

(48:37):
Sorry guys, Oh no, it's not.

Speaker 5 (48:40):
It is an email. Mandy.

Speaker 4 (48:41):
I'm a regular listener to your program, but when I
happen to be traveling during your radio timeslot. I also
listened to Bill O'Reilly on his No Spin News that
he's made me aware of the crazy legislation of HB
twenty five thirteen twelve, HP twenty five thirteen oh nine,
SB twenty five, pet eighty three, SP twenty five one
twenty nine. At the suggestion and provided on your website.

(49:01):
I've emailed Governor Polis to respectfully express my concern and disapproval.
I honestly don't expect it will make much of a difference.
Having lived in Colorado for twenty six years and seeing
the decline in Colorado from what I would call traditional
American and family values to extreme left wing liberal values,
I'm becoming very concerned. I don't want Colorado to become California.

(49:22):
And Michael goes on to say, I don't believe the
majority of Colorado's would agree that the proposed legislation if
they knew the details. I believe that many voters are
simply busy with their lives and uninformed.

Speaker 5 (49:34):
If you have any suggestion.

Speaker 4 (49:35):
Regarding how to slow down or reverse this trend, I
would like to hear them. And I emailed them back
something that I think is really true. And every year,
at the end of the legislative session, I think to myself, Oh,
this was the worst one yet, And then I allow
my suffrag a second to say, this has got to

(49:56):
be the worst one.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
But then no.

Speaker 5 (50:00):
Slative session has seen some of the.

Speaker 4 (50:02):
Most egregious, horrible legislation that I can recall in my lifetime,
and it's happening right here in Colorado, and you want
to know to your point, you're absolutely right. A vast
majority of the voters in Colorado who continue to put
Democrats back into power aren't paying attention at all. It'll
be very interesting when some of them may decide they

(50:25):
need a firearm and they have to live under the
new Democratic firearm regime. It'll be interesting when the school
district has their child removed from their home because they
decided to not affirm a gender switch that came out
of the blue.

Speaker 5 (50:39):
But is it too late? I mean, the.

Speaker 4 (50:41):
Voters don't hold the people who pass.

Speaker 5 (50:43):
These laws accountable.

Speaker 4 (50:44):
They don't make the connection that since twenty nineteen, inflation
in Colorado has been out of control mostly because of laws, rules, regulations,
and fees pass by a Democrat majority with very little
impact from the Republican Party. This year, they've really ended
the charade caring about what Republicans care about. They end
a debate on all of these some of these really

(51:05):
egregious bills and just said we don't want to hear
from you. Thank you can sit down to shut up.
They scheduled a legislative session on a Sunday morning, when
religious church going people are already engaged.

Speaker 5 (51:19):
So I keep thinking it can't.

Speaker 4 (51:20):
Get worse, it can't get worse, But yeah, it does.
And they continue to show so much disregard for the
citizens that they claim to represent. They have a new
bill being pushed by three of the most progressive Democrats
in the legislature.

Speaker 5 (51:40):
And that's saying something.

Speaker 4 (51:42):
This is going to attack the citizens' initiative process, which
in Colorado is in theory supposed to put our legislature
on notice about the way we feel about certain issues.
And citizens can run these initiatives by very cumbersome process
to get this on the ballot.

Speaker 5 (51:59):
This is not easy.

Speaker 4 (52:01):
But if they get enough volunteers, if they get enough money,
they can get enough signatures, they can get this stuff
on the ballot. The people of Colorado can directly decide
on the big issues in theory to demonstrate to the
legislature what we want done. Unfortunately, whatever we voted on
in the past, the Democrats just ignore that initiative and

(52:21):
come back and pass it. Anyway, this bill is worse
than the changes that were on the ballot the last
time that voters overwhelmingly rejected. They require so many new
things of people trying to get an initiative on the
ballot that it just serves as a further barrier, proving
once again that the Democrats don't want to hear from you.

Speaker 5 (52:44):
Oh in that Tabor lawsuit, the Tabor lawsuit literally says
the Democrats are arguing that because we are a republican
form of government, we are not supposed to put any
limits at all on the people that we elect to
do the people's business. Is that doesn't show contempt, not
just no contempt for the voters and for the taxpayers

(53:08):
of the state of Colorado.

Speaker 4 (53:09):
I don't know how else you could read that. They
just want you to know that your betters that are
in the legislature, most of them appoint out most, but
a huge portion of them just appointed by party insiders
in vacancy committees. You should just defer to your betters
and keep your little initiatives and your little taxpayers bill

(53:30):
of rights to yourself, because our betters know best, and
we need to recognize it and just move forward from there.
That's where we are. And i'd see what I mean.
It's like when I talk about it and I just go, eh,
so gross, so incredibly gross, Mandy. If people have to

(53:53):
take all these stupid classes and go through all this
new stuff to buy a gun, shouldn't that mean that
anytime somebody commits a murder or a heinous with a
gun that they purchased, Wouldn't that mean that any insanity
play or mental health excuse can be thrown out? Guys,
it is so incredibly hard to make a successful mental

(54:14):
health defense. It is extraordinarily difficult to prove that that's
the least of my worries with this, the very least
of our worries. And by the way, a lot of
people taking to the text line to say, your listener,
Michael's an idiot. Colorado is way past California.

Speaker 5 (54:34):
I don't think Michael's an idiot.

Speaker 4 (54:36):
I just think he needed to start paying attention a
little sooner than apparently he has. We'll be right back
about the woman with no legs doing the Manito incline. No,
it's not a joke, Mandy Horrorvath of Colorado Springs. Back
in twenty eighteen, she lost her legs after being hit
by a train. That's a whole other story, but she
did the Manito incline.

Speaker 5 (54:58):
No legs.

Speaker 4 (54:58):
Oh sure, nothing like throw that gauntlet down. If you
ever want to be inspired, go up to Winter Park
for the big National Sports Center for the Disabled event,
the Wells Fargo Classic, and you see people with pretty
significant physical disabilities just ripping down the mountain. You're like,
oh my god, what am I doing? Such a loser?
Everything works on me and I'm just such a baby.

(55:21):
That being said, I also appreciate all of you who said.

Speaker 5 (55:26):
Hey, I'll go do it with you.

Speaker 4 (55:27):
And I had a listener reach out and say hey,
we've got a lot of people that would love to
do this. And he's had a pretty remarkable story and
he's a survivor and he wants to do a little
charity thing to raise money, So stay tuned for that.
I might just go like, wake up one day, I
know that I think you have to have a reservation.

Speaker 8 (55:43):
Now.

Speaker 4 (55:44):
I might just do it first to make sure that
I'm not over committing myself, and then I'll come back
and tell y'all, okay, we can do it again. That
would be okay. Good news in the girls on boys
sports front. And this is a rapidly evolving situation that
is one of those ways or things or issues that

(56:05):
Donald Trump has put the Democrats in a very unpopular
position because the Democrats have decided that they are going
to fight, fight, fight to make sure that trans girls
and women who were born male and have male skeletons
and male musculature are going to be able to compete

(56:26):
against girls in their sports. They have decided that this
is what they are going to do. Because Donald Trump
doesn't like it, he put out a federal order that said,
you need to only allow biological boys. They can only
compete in boys sports, and anyone competing in girls' sports
must align with their biological gender. So recently, a coalition

(56:53):
of roughly sixty school leaders sent a letter to CHASSA.
Chassa is the organization that runs high school sports here
in Colorado, and the signatories of this letter included district
and charter leaders from Preblo, Mesa, Douglas, and Metro Denver.
They included board members from District forty nine school Board,

(57:16):
the Preblo District seventies school Board, the Douglas County school Board,
District eleven school Board, and Loveland Classical Schools and in
it they say that CHASSA needs to align their rules
with the federal government's edict about girls competing in girls
sports and boys competing in boys sports. They say the

(57:38):
policy that they currently have at CHASSA, which allows transgender
athletes to participate in sports based on their gender identity,
is in direct conflict with the executive order, and they
like clarification.

Speaker 5 (57:52):
The letter states the.

Speaker 4 (57:53):
Implications for CHAS are unmistakable. By maintaining policies that permit
boys to compete as girls, chass are risks exposing Colorado
schools to federal investigations, the potential loss of critical funding
and legal liability under Title nine. Now CHASSA, of course says, uh.

Speaker 5 (58:14):
We're working on it.

Speaker 4 (58:17):
They're working with a legal team to navigate how to
comply with the executive order in state law. You know,
one of the frustrating parts of this conversation for me
is that the conversation is boys who have changed or
believe they are girls should absolutely be allowed to compete
against girls, no questions asked, no matter where they were,
if they went through puberty or.

Speaker 5 (58:37):
Not, it does not matter.

Speaker 4 (58:38):
They should be able to do that, no questions asked,
Or you're essentially forcing them to compete against.

Speaker 5 (58:45):
Boys of which they don't believe they are one.

Speaker 4 (58:48):
But the reality is is that the bigger conversation is,
especially in the high school level, playing sports is a privilege,
and it's not a privilege afforded to everyone. Not everyone
makes the team, not everyone gets to Some people on
the team never get to play.

Speaker 5 (59:04):
So the notion that somehow.

Speaker 4 (59:05):
We must capitulate because somehow transgender girls are the only
ones who have to suffer, never have to suffer any disappointment,
it's really frustrating to me because we had to set
up an entire framework called Title nine in order to
ensure that girls had access to sports at the same
level that boys had access to sports because they couldn't

(59:28):
compete but against the boys. That's sort of why we
did it back in the day and now because we're
going to put the feelings of children or kids or
teenagers or young people that were born male ahead of
all of the feelings of every female in those sports,

(59:51):
because even girls who play on teams with trans players
have come out later and said I was wildly uncomfortably
in the entire time. I was basically told if I
didn't just accept it and celebrate it, I was part
of the problem. So this entire situation is avoidable. And
it may be that you say to some kids, sorry,
you don't get to play high school sports. Sorry about that.

(01:00:13):
Not every kid who has an Olympic dream is going
to the Olympics. Not every kid who has a dream
of playing sports is going to make the team.

Speaker 5 (01:00:22):
And it's unfortunate.

Speaker 4 (01:00:23):
If you want to make accommodations where you create an
open category where you know you can compete against other
trans kids, or you can compete against men who want
to compete in the open category, then knock yourself out.
But I so strongly disagree with the notion that girls
and teen girls, especially you know, little kids, you play

(01:00:45):
co ed sports all the time because until puberty hits.

Speaker 5 (01:00:48):
There's not that much difference. And when it comes down to.

Speaker 4 (01:00:51):
Things like in terms of attention span, little girls may
be better at some stuff than little boys. But once
puberty hits, there's physical changes that can't be denied. And
girls deserve to have a space where they don't have
to be in a room with a biological man to
change clothes, to put on swimsuits, to put on leotards.

Speaker 5 (01:01:11):
They deserve that.

Speaker 4 (01:01:12):
It's why we have men's bathrooms and women's bathrooms. So
we'll see what CHASSA does.

Speaker 11 (01:01:18):
I mean.

Speaker 4 (01:01:20):
Chassa did respond to KOAA News by saying, at this time,
the full impact of the executive order remains unclear. The
directive does not mandate immediate action by CHASSA, the Colorado
Department of Education, or local school districts, but instead directs
federal agencies to take steps that could lead to changes

(01:01:40):
in funding and oversight. Now, what they just said was,
it doesn't tell.

Speaker 5 (01:01:46):
Us we have to do this.

Speaker 4 (01:01:47):
They just tell us that they're prepared to well change
funding and oversight if we don't. But we're not going
to do anything because we believe in an action. How
about the rightness of this? And by the way, the
polling direct data is moving in the wrong direction. So
let me see polling on trans in girls sports. Let

(01:02:10):
me pull up the latest from twenty twenty three on
policies restricting trans people. That's interesting, not protecting girls but
restricting trans people. Sometimes those things are the same. And
for any trans person that says, no, why don't you
want to be in a locker room with a bunch

(01:02:31):
of men? I can't you understand why women would not
want men in their locker room based on your own
reaction just then, right now. Sixty six percent, according to Pew,
favor or strongly favor laws that require trans athletes to
compete on teams that match their sex at birth. I

(01:02:55):
refuse to say sex assigned at birth like Pew does here.
I refuse to use that terminology. Your sex is revealed
at birth, not assigned. Doctors are just in the you know,
in the delivery room, flipping a coin. Oh that one
will be a girl, Oh, that one will be a boy.

(01:03:15):
There are signs that they use to figure it out.

Speaker 11 (01:03:20):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:03:20):
Fifty six percent of adults favor a ban on healthcare
professionals from providing care related to gender transitions for minors.
So the interesting part about this Pew poll is that
at the same time, fifty six percent of adults express
support for policies aimed at protecting trans people from discrimination

(01:03:43):
in jobs, housing, and public spaces, because those are not
an attack on our inherent fairness or unfairness. Right, we
all have a strong sense of fairness. I really believe
that like people understand fairness. It's one of the reasons
that people are still supportive of Trump's tariffs, because he
laid them out there.

Speaker 5 (01:04:02):
Is this is what they do to us. We're just
doing it back.

Speaker 4 (01:04:05):
And when you talk about it in terms of fairness,
overwhelmingly a majority of people are going to agree.

Speaker 5 (01:04:11):
So we're gonna have Gary and Brad from Bell and Palicon.
And I realized this.

Speaker 4 (01:04:14):
I was talking to one of my co workers today
and I said, I think I love that so much
because my father was a person l injury attorney. He
was actually kind of a everything attorney in a small town,
but he did a lot of personal injury and he
would always tell me about his cases when I was
a kid, like the interesting ones, not the boring stuff,
but he would always tell me about these interesting cases.

Speaker 5 (01:04:32):
So for me hearing you.

Speaker 4 (01:04:34):
Guys ask questions about stuff that's happening in your life,
I don't know. I find it interesting as all get out.
So we're going to have them on for a little while.
In the meantime, though, a couple things. Remember the guy
who set fire to the governor of Pennsylvania's mansion while
he and his family were in it, Governor Josh Shapiro,
the Jewish governor of Pennsylvania, And that only matters in

(01:04:57):
the context of this story.

Speaker 5 (01:04:59):
Thirty eight year old.

Speaker 4 (01:05:00):
Cody Baumer has admitted that he took explosive devices, probably
molotov cocktails, threw them into the mayor's mansion trying to
burn it down. And why did he do it Because
he didn't like the mayor's stance on the Palestinian issue.
So he is a hardcore left winger, and so this

(01:05:23):
story is going to be gone, gone, gone gone. Now,
let's listen, wait a minute, let's see here. I want's
find that the quote from the governor that was so
so interesting to me, and it was essentially that the
governor said, you know, people are trying to make like

(01:05:44):
political hay of this, but political violence is never okay,
which is exactly what I said when this happened in
the first place. Political violence is never okay. A growing
number on.

Speaker 5 (01:05:57):
The left have decided it is.

Speaker 4 (01:06:00):
We're gonna dig into some of those new polling data,
which is profoundly disturbing on tomorrow's show, which is also
three hours long. I also have a bunch of stuff
on the blog we're not gonna get to that is
really important. First of all, game show host Wink Martindale died.
Do you even know who Wink Martin Dale.

Speaker 5 (01:06:16):
Is ay rod tic Tac dough heard Nancy tictac Doe
a winner, now I've heard the name.

Speaker 4 (01:06:24):
He was sort of the quintessential game show host guy.
He had this giant smile, like huge chick lit teeth
right and it was just like and he always seemed
like the kind of guy you wanted to hang out
with at a party, you know, one of those guys
like cracking, you know, just cracking jokes and having a
good time. He was ninety one years old. He had

(01:06:45):
a good running's applem Foma for the last year. So rip,
mister Martindale. Thanks for keeping me company all those days
that I stayed home from school when I was sick.
Without you and Bob Barker, those days would have sucked.
I also want to talk about this little bit more
a little bit later.

Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
So this.

Speaker 5 (01:07:03):
You know, all these.

Speaker 4 (01:07:04):
Websites are constantly putting.

Speaker 13 (01:07:06):
Out lists of like, you know, best places to live
or best sandwich up in your town or whatever. Well,
this list is the loneliest states in America.

Speaker 5 (01:07:18):
The loneliest So Lonely and Colorado came in number two.

Speaker 4 (01:07:26):
The reason that we came in number two is because
we have so many people using dating apps, and I
would submit to you that the reason we have so
many people using dating apps is because we have so
many tech savvy young people living in Denver. So it's uh,

(01:07:47):
it's definitely a I think, perception issue. But I wanted
to ask a bigger question, and we've got to do Anyrod,
we should do a whole show on dating, just a
whole show on what a dumpster fire it is to
be in the dating world right now. Unfortunately, neither of us, I,
neither of you, or I could testify to this. But

(01:08:09):
I have talked to so many younger people, guys especially
who say, yeah, went out with this girl. Everything was great,
we had so much fun. We went out again, and
on the second date, she was.

Speaker 5 (01:08:21):
Like, well, who did you vote for?

Speaker 4 (01:08:23):
And if you don't say Kamala Harris, that is the
end of the relationship. And that is so stupid and
shortsighted and ridiculous. I, first of all, wouldn't want to
be with somebody who agreed with everything I thought. Chuck
and I have spirited conversations about various issues, but man,

(01:08:45):
a lot of these young women are gonna just end
up alone and wondering how it happened. Waiting for the
perfect beta male to knock on their doors, and he's
just not going to make it there. When we get
back as the personal Injury Attorneys with Belle and Pollock
coming up next, keep it right here on KOA.

Speaker 1 (01:09:00):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and injury Lawyers.

Speaker 2 (01:09:05):
No, it's Mandy Connellna on KLA ninety one FM.

Speaker 3 (01:09:15):
Saw God want to study the nicety the prey Andy
Connell keeping sad thing.

Speaker 4 (01:09:26):
Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the third hour of the show,
and I said it right before the break. Something occurred
to me today as I looked at my calendar and
saw that Gary and Brad from Bell and Pollock were
going to be on the show for an hour of
Ask the Personal Injury Attorneys, and I thought to myself,
why am I so entertained by this segment. I enjoy
the heck out of it, and it reminds me of
when my dad. From the time I was very little,

(01:09:48):
my dad, who was also an attorney, would come home
and tell me about the cases he was working on.
Not not the borning, mundane cases, right, just the interesting
cases that he.

Speaker 5 (01:09:57):
Was working on. So I thought we'd start o this
hour after. I told people, if you have a question
for Gary or Brad from Bell and Pollock, a personal
injury question. Maybe you've been in an accident, maybe you've
been hurt by somebody else's negligence. Now's the time to
get some free advice. You can call us at three
oh three seven one three eighty five eighty five. That's
three oh three seven one three eighty five eighty five.

(01:10:21):
If you have a super simple question, you can text
it to five six six nine. Oh. You can do
either of these things.

Speaker 4 (01:10:26):
I want to ask you, guys, what are the what
are the cases that you have tried in your decades
of doing this? What are the cases that you still
when you go to a cocktail party, that's the story
you're going to tell.

Speaker 8 (01:10:40):
You've got that one, Cary.

Speaker 14 (01:10:44):
There's a lot of them, and there's only so much
that you know, you can say about a case without
you know, compromising the security of the kidning. But yeah,
there's a there's a lot of them, big accident cases,
big trucking cases. I mean usually we experienced cases many
where you match a truck eighteen we row up against

(01:11:05):
the car, saw them a good match. There's going to
be a disaster, and they it's amazing how hard they fight,
and it's amazing. People don't realize that these trucking companies
have teams. So let's say there's there's just an accident
here on I seventy up in the mountains with a
big truck.

Speaker 7 (01:11:21):
They will have a team.

Speaker 14 (01:11:22):
And when I meet a team, they have a human
factors expert on site, an engineer on site, an attorney
on site.

Speaker 7 (01:11:27):
They fly them in.

Speaker 14 (01:11:29):
They don't they don't wait well, so they get it
all done and they want to get the engineering done,
and they get the black boxes done. But I guess
the funny story would be we did a trucking case
one time and the trucker was saying, he said, here's
my logs. And it was the old fashioned logs. They
weren't digital logs. They were written logs, and here's my logs.
And so Brad and I kept looking at the logs

(01:11:50):
and something wasn't right, and we.

Speaker 7 (01:11:51):
Had got it.

Speaker 14 (01:11:52):
We had received his gas receipts. And they sometimes they
stay in motels, so we get the hotel receipts.

Speaker 7 (01:11:59):
I said, well, according to.

Speaker 14 (01:12:00):
You, on the night in question, you were at a
motel in Lexington, Kentucky.

Speaker 7 (01:12:07):
But your logs say you were in Florida.

Speaker 14 (01:12:09):
Oh so all at the same time, and so you
know that was and then went they went south for
the company from there. But that's kind of a kind
of fascinating choice and that you'll be surprised how many
times that happens. The other thing is, I got to
put in a word for the Colorad State say patrol,
they get on the scene, they want those logs. You
the driver, right, you don't want to give me the logs,

(01:12:29):
And they say, I'm going to get on the I'm
going to get on the horn and get on the
phone with your company. You don't know your passwords. Suddenly
I'll find out your passwords and they get it. Those
troopers get those logs. So they do a good job well.

Speaker 4 (01:12:40):
And so have you guys ever had any just bizarro
world cases where people walked in and ask and you
just went, yeah, that's outside our scope, Like that's so nuts,
we can't even do that.

Speaker 14 (01:12:52):
Yeah, I mean we've had, I mean we've had we've
had cases where people have walked in and there's really
no there's really no liability. Nobody's falls and we're not
going to do the case, right, but they say they
say they're hurt, and and then there's you can't do
any liability. But then they get angry when you tell
them there's not a case and we told them.

Speaker 15 (01:13:14):
You get the ones where they say they cause the
accident and they want to sue because they cause the accident.
What Yeah, they got hurt in the accident and they
caused it. You get down to it, you say, well,
it looks like you took the ride away away from
the other person, and they go, yeah, I did.

Speaker 8 (01:13:30):
You go well, then you can't recover.

Speaker 7 (01:13:33):
And you kind of just admitted it to us. You
just admitted it to us.

Speaker 4 (01:13:37):
Yeah, that's not a question here, you know, I have
a question and then we're going to get some calls
here in just a moment. A friend of mine is
dealing with this situation. And I think with the rise
of social media, I don't know if you guys have
ever handled these cases where you have someone taking to
social media to defame a rival business for another company.
And these are not big money players, so we don't

(01:13:59):
have deep pockets. You're not sue in the New York Times, right,
what recourse to normal people have from either reviews that
are libelists that are not accurate, not true. Is there
any recourses that part of the law change or expanded
and if so, how Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:14:15):
So there is recourse.

Speaker 14 (01:14:17):
The tough part of that answer is that usually that
you have to file a loss. Usually they don't care.
Usually they're just going to go on doing it. But
sometimes it's worth a try. Sometimes when attorneys write demand letters,
let's say you are passing the social media, you get
demand letters to cease and desist or we're going to

(01:14:37):
file a lawsuit. Sometimes that works, and that's very very cheap,
easy to do, and this solves solves the problem. But
you're right, you're not suing the New York Times, and
there's not a lot of money. But people just want
to say or do anything or act anyway and they
just can't.

Speaker 7 (01:14:52):
So maybe a demand letter, well.

Speaker 15 (01:14:54):
If your client's a company or a business, you can
sometimes coordinate it with the loss of business. They're try
and show that, okay, But once somebody put this on
Facebook or they put it on some kind of social
media demeaning you or degrading your company or making bad statements,
and they refuse to take it off and you can

(01:15:14):
coordinate that with loss of business. You might be able
to do something, but it's very difficult. It's very difficult
because you can always start a campaign to go back
at them to stop it.

Speaker 14 (01:15:24):
Well, the other thing is that when people live at
Google reviews, businesses get mad. But if it's the truth,
truth is a deficient of defamation. If it's the truth,
it is the truth, that's real, it is what it is.

Speaker 5 (01:15:35):
Well, these are specifically.

Speaker 4 (01:15:36):
I have a friend who's going through this now, and
she said, she came to me because you know, I'm
a web I'm a web doctor and also a web lawyer,
so people come to me for legal advice. All right,
She actually called and said what kind of attorney would
I need for this?

Speaker 5 (01:15:49):
And I said, well, first of all, if.

Speaker 4 (01:15:51):
You're talking about suing someone if they have nothing, you're
talking about spending a lot of your own money.

Speaker 5 (01:15:56):
You'll probably never get back, right, so probably never get
about it.

Speaker 4 (01:16:00):
Would that be a case that if you could prove
the damages and all of that nonsense, if you were
so in the New York Times, would that be a
personal injury? Obviously it's not an injury physically, but it's
an injury to your business.

Speaker 14 (01:16:11):
It's an injury to the harm and the harms to
the reputation. So yes, it is an injury, and that's
what you would you would have to do. I mean,
say we're the New York Times, you'd want to file
the law soon. It's an injury to your reputation, right
and too many people, your reputation is worth more than anything.

Speaker 5 (01:16:27):
Is It hard to prove those kind of cases.

Speaker 8 (01:16:29):
Very hard.

Speaker 15 (01:16:31):
You know.

Speaker 8 (01:16:31):
It can also relate into emotional distress too.

Speaker 15 (01:16:34):
And you know, because I've had people come in that
are very upset. They're emotionally distraught over what's happened, and
so much so that they don't.

Speaker 8 (01:16:43):
Even care about their physical injuries.

Speaker 15 (01:16:45):
They care more about just trying to be.

Speaker 8 (01:16:48):
Able to get a grip on what's happened.

Speaker 15 (01:16:50):
I call them nightmares and daymares because they're still living
with it all.

Speaker 8 (01:16:54):
Yeah, and a lot of times.

Speaker 15 (01:16:55):
You got some to counseling and you've got PTSD, and
that can happen with somebody putting a bad review about
you or saying something bad about you on social media.
It can cause a lot of emotional distress. If you
can tie that in, if you can show it, which
means you got to talk to spouse's, you've got to
talk to friends, you've got to talk to business associates.

(01:17:16):
If you can tie all that in, you may have something,
especially if it was the slanderous, relibelist statement that was
made against the version.

Speaker 4 (01:17:24):
I think that's an interesting thing that's happening now is
now people are more vicious online than they've ever been before,
and it's it's damaging to someone's reputation when you go
and lie about them on the internet, because.

Speaker 5 (01:17:34):
It lives forever.

Speaker 8 (01:17:35):
It's like a license to lie.

Speaker 15 (01:17:38):
I mean, you know that the internet, social media has
turned into some of that is the license to attack
somebody with your words. And attacking somebody with your words
can be very, very interious to somebody.

Speaker 5 (01:17:50):
I agree, cause a lot of problems. Well, I asked it.

Speaker 4 (01:17:53):
Okay, if you've got a question that isn't slander or
libel related. Gosh, if I could see over all the
mean stuff that have been said about me on the internet,
I'd be rich right now.

Speaker 5 (01:18:01):
Give us a call.

Speaker 4 (01:18:02):
Three three seven, five eighty five. Yes in castle Rock
has a question. You're on with Bell and Pollock for
ask the attorneys.

Speaker 9 (01:18:11):
Thank you know, I have a multi facinate issue that.

Speaker 11 (01:18:13):
I'm trying to resolve.

Speaker 10 (01:18:15):
I've got a financial institution that refuses to take.

Speaker 9 (01:18:20):
My ex off the account even.

Speaker 10 (01:18:23):
Though she signed a quit claim, and they will not
allow the access.

Speaker 9 (01:18:29):
To many of the communications we've.

Speaker 10 (01:18:31):
Had with them and or the other offices unless I
get a subpoena.

Speaker 9 (01:18:37):
So where do I go? What do I do?

Speaker 7 (01:18:39):
Well?

Speaker 14 (01:18:39):
I got to tell you to begin with the start
off with. That is a typical divorce question, and it
happens all the time. A couple they buy a piece
of property by usually a house or condominium whatever, they
both go on title, and they both signed the promissory note,
and then they get a divorce and the the finance
company or the loan company will not and is not,

(01:19:00):
and they're not obligated to take either party off of
the note. They got the note. That's their security. And
it makes a lot of people very, very mad. The
remedy was in divorce court or court where the judge says, Okay,
mister X, you're going to pay the mortgage, and missus X,
you don't have to pay it. So that's a court

(01:19:22):
order and that's how you solve the problem. But you
don't and can't solve the problem with the loan company.
They're just not going to do it. I've never seen
it in my career. Maybe it did happen, and even
if you have a deed, they don't care because that
was the way they made the loan and got their
security to begin with.

Speaker 5 (01:19:38):
Is it a loan situation, Jess, No, it's not a loan.

Speaker 10 (01:19:43):
It's the investment account. Yeah, so you wanted off the account.
She signed a quit claim in the financial investment company
will not accept what she did.

Speaker 9 (01:19:56):
They're putting the blame back on me. They said, I
need to take her to court. Well, you know we
had to. We didn't go to court with her mediation.
She did this in mediation.

Speaker 10 (01:20:08):
And like I said, now, I'm trying to say, hey,
I've been telling you this for quite some time, but
they won't give me the communication records without a subpoena.

Speaker 14 (01:20:19):
Okay, well I got another solution. I got another solution
for you. Look, if if she's cooperative, it sounds like
she might be signing in the quick claim deed, close
the account together, close it, take take your money out,
and go better than somewhere else.

Speaker 10 (01:20:35):
I was because of her dealings with the personal moneys.
I was in a lot of trouble with the irs,
and I am now permanently partially disabled because of the
assault she gave me.

Speaker 7 (01:20:49):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 15 (01:20:51):
What was the what was the mediation order? The mediation
agreement made in order of court? Did you take it
down to court and making an order of court?

Speaker 9 (01:21:00):
The attorneys agreed to go to mediation?

Speaker 4 (01:21:03):
All right, Jeff, I want to hear the rest of this,
but I've got to take a break.

Speaker 5 (01:21:06):
I'm very very late. You're on McGary bratd Hang on, Jeff,
hold on, don't go anywhere. We'll be right back.

Speaker 4 (01:21:10):
Let me rephrase what Jeff's issue was. Jeff and his
ex wife have an investment account. His wife has signed
a quick dey to get off of the investment account.
The brokerage, the financial institution has said no, thank you,
we're going to keep her on this and he wants
to know how to get her off this situation and
pick it up.

Speaker 5 (01:21:29):
Guys, you got two minutes, Jeff.

Speaker 15 (01:21:31):
What I do is I go back to the attorney
that was with you helped you do this. That attorney
can contact the ex wife's attorney. The two of them
can file a stipulation with the court, or you got
your divorce or your separation, and the court can enter
an order directing and you want a specific order that
specifically goes the institution, and they you don't really need.

Speaker 8 (01:21:57):
The ex wife at that point.

Speaker 15 (01:21:58):
The ex wife's attorney can do this if he's got
authority and proper.

Speaker 8 (01:22:03):
Authority to do it.

Speaker 15 (01:22:04):
But and I get an order of court that you
can take down to the brokerage to show them. Here's
an order of court take her name off.

Speaker 9 (01:22:12):
Well, her attorney says, the statute of limitations has expired,
so nobody has any paperwork. The mediator has no paperwork.

Speaker 11 (01:22:21):
The problem is.

Speaker 10 (01:22:22):
The financial institution did not act on this at the
time they should have, and I've been fighting them the
ever since.

Speaker 14 (01:22:29):
Well, how long was this because your statue limatous makes no.

Speaker 7 (01:22:32):
Sense to me?

Speaker 8 (01:22:33):
Out it doesn't expire on a divorce sto.

Speaker 7 (01:22:37):
Or how long ago?

Speaker 9 (01:22:39):
Okay, it was fifteen years ago, and it wasn't a divorce,
it was a separation, right, So I was under the
Colorado law. We had a common law marriage. But in
its separate divorce you separate assets and liabilities. Separation you
separate only the assets. Well, she did this because she

(01:23:04):
knew she took out alone against this account. So I've
said before, if you know a screenwriter or an offer
I got to made for TV mini series.

Speaker 15 (01:23:15):
Here, Oh, the plot just thickened a whole lot, and
you've got that. So so is she being cooperative now?

Speaker 11 (01:23:23):
Not at all?

Speaker 5 (01:23:25):
Of course not. Does he need to talk to a
different attorney?

Speaker 14 (01:23:29):
Well, you're you're Your only answer is is court. Your
only answer is court. You can't get it done by agreement.
You can't get it done by stipulation. That's the only answer.
And fifteen years ago, how.

Speaker 10 (01:23:40):
Do I get the people to get the communication records
from the financial institution.

Speaker 14 (01:23:46):
You're gonna You're gonna have to have court auction pending. Yeah,
if you got a court auction pinion, you can issue subpoena.

Speaker 7 (01:23:50):
Then And you can't just issu your subpoena out of
the blue. You have to have a cord action pending.

Speaker 5 (01:23:56):
You need you need a new attorney.

Speaker 4 (01:23:58):
Start with that, Jeff, And I wish I could give
you more advice, but I have to let you go
because I got to take another break. We went along
in that last time.

Speaker 15 (01:24:04):
Yes, call our office and we'll try and give you
get a referral to you for an attorney three O three.

Speaker 5 (01:24:09):
Seven nine fifty nine, one hundred. We'll be back, Jill.

Speaker 4 (01:24:12):
Hang in there your next three O three seven one
three eighty five eighty five. I'd love to hear if
you have a weird legal question, because I love those.
We'll do that next with Bell and Pollock. We're playing
Ask the Attorney. I've got some really good questions on
the text line. We're going to grab those next, but
Jill has been patiently waiting. Jill, you're on mc gary
and Brad from Bell and Pollock. What's your question?

Speaker 9 (01:24:33):
Hi, It's nice to talk with you.

Speaker 16 (01:24:35):
I think I'm trying to determine if I actually have
a kid.

Speaker 11 (01:24:40):
In early February, I was.

Speaker 9 (01:24:43):
Running at the.

Speaker 16 (01:24:44):
Airport to catch the Skylight bus and my oh lip
the sidewalk, and long story short, I ended up with
a head injury. I tore my handstring on one side
and on the other side. I have here and new trouble,
and I'm I'm incurring more expensive than I thought that

(01:25:07):
I might and so and I know that I'm going
to need more diagnostics and more physical therapy, and depending
on what they find, the I suppose future treatment is
school that I'm known at this point, So I don't
know if there's if this is just one of those

(01:25:27):
things that's purely an accident, or if there is any liability.

Speaker 11 (01:25:32):
On their part.

Speaker 14 (01:25:33):
Well one one more time, what what caused you to follow?
You were doing what exactly exactly I was.

Speaker 16 (01:25:40):
I was at the airport and I was in the
transit center. I was running to catch the sky ride
bus and dripped on a lip on the sidewalk, and
then that was the result.

Speaker 14 (01:25:52):
Okay, here's the deal to recover premises' liability.

Speaker 7 (01:25:56):
That's what that's caused.

Speaker 14 (01:25:57):
Called there has to be a dangerous condition, bottom line,
and there's many vary variations of what dangerous condition is.
But if you have a lip in the sidewalk, it
depends on how big the lip is. I mean, lips
and sidewalks when they're built, they have a natural lip.
But I mean, if I'm exaggerating right now, but if
it's a four inch lip and you slam into it,
go fly in, that's dangerous as can be. So I

(01:26:20):
don't know if you have a picture of it or not,
but the lip is the number one. The number two
is you're at the Denver Airport, right DIA, Yes, okay,
so you're likely on governmental property. Brings up a whole
other issue, and we'll be glad to talk to you.
Can't just score it all in the air, but be
glad to talk to you off the air. But that
brings in the whole host of governmental immunity issues. They

(01:26:44):
can be solved sometimes sometimes they can't be. And so
you got two major things to consider. You got the injuries,
you got the diagnostics. And I'm sorry it happened to you,
but good lawyers would drill down and we'll help you.
We won't charge you to do this. Well, but you
got to drill done. Was it really truly a dangerous condition?
And is their governmental immunity?

Speaker 11 (01:27:05):
Sure?

Speaker 16 (01:27:06):
It was a lit in the sidewalk that had already
been shaved down.

Speaker 8 (01:27:10):
And.

Speaker 14 (01:27:14):
Well that proves knowledge of somebody that yeah.

Speaker 15 (01:27:18):
And just because it's already been shaved down doesn't mean
it was shaved down to the proper measure measurements. That
doesn't mean it didn't create a dangerous condition. I mean,
you know, when you're at the airport, you expect people
to be normally in a hurry. They're not going to
be watching the sidewalk, and a lot of times they're
carrying luggage, or they're trying to figure out where their
flight is, or they're trying to figure out where the
gate is. And there's a lot of criteria. But you

(01:27:42):
have a governmental immunity notice, so you have to give
and that's got to be done generally, that's actually one
hundred and eighty six days, but six months from the
time that you fell, and you you need to at
least talk to a lawyer to preserve that right. And
you need to get out there and get some photos
of where you.

Speaker 8 (01:28:02):
Fell and what it looks like.

Speaker 15 (01:28:04):
You know, I know if I were representing you, I'd
be having a couple of experts go out to look
at it, because you know, there are people who are
experts at how these sidewalks, where the lips should be,
and how they should be shaved down, and what should
be done if they're done correctly.

Speaker 14 (01:28:22):
But you need to listen to what Brad just said.
You have one hundred and eighty one days under the statue.
I think you said you got injured in February. The
governmental community clock is ticking against you. You don't give
the proper notice within the first one hundred and eighty
one days. You're finished. I don't care what happened to you.
I don't care if it's dangerous. You're finished. So you

(01:28:42):
need to get to an attorney fast.

Speaker 16 (01:28:45):
Okay, all right, appreciate the input.

Speaker 4 (01:28:47):
All right, Jill, I got a lot of questions on
the blog today, and this one is kind of interesting.
Not the blog the text line at five sixty six nine. Oh,
that's the common Spirit health text line question for Bell
and Pollock jens on a um U, I am that's
uninsured motorists claim. I have a personal umbrella policy as well.
Can I get or can I see coverage and award

(01:29:09):
under the umbrella policy as well as the underlying auto coverage?

Speaker 5 (01:29:13):
Thanks driving now, Mike in a Rapahoe County.

Speaker 8 (01:29:16):
Mike, we'd have to see the policy. That's just the
bottom line note.

Speaker 15 (01:29:20):
If we see the personal umbrella policy, if it includes
coverage for car crashes, if it includes coverage for um
yes it does. If it doesn't include it, it probably doesn't.
And what we need is actually the declaration page. We
like the policy and is a declaration page?

Speaker 8 (01:29:35):
Now?

Speaker 4 (01:29:35):
Is it common for umbrella policies to exclude auto accidents?

Speaker 7 (01:29:40):
That's a great question.

Speaker 11 (01:29:41):
Man.

Speaker 7 (01:29:41):
Here's the mistake most people make.

Speaker 14 (01:29:43):
They buy the UIM coverage a regular car policy, then
they hey, I want to get an umbrella policy, and
they think we all think umbrella that covers everything, right,
But it doesn't cover vehicles as bad. You said it
has to be specifically endorsed to cover vehicles in.

Speaker 7 (01:30:00):
Than it does.

Speaker 15 (01:30:00):
Okay, And normally you'd expect your uh, your insurance agent
help get that in because when you're talking to them,
you're saying, I want protection in case I get hurt. Yes,
so you think you're getting an umbrella policy that's going
to cover that, and hopefully your agent put it in.

Speaker 4 (01:30:14):
Do you guys have an accident checklist that this person
can keep on their car or phone.

Speaker 7 (01:30:19):
We do.

Speaker 14 (01:30:19):
We've got a We've got a checklist. We've got a
booklet you can keep in your box. I've got one
on mine and keep on my insurance papers in there.
Certainly call our office. We give you one free.

Speaker 5 (01:30:29):
This one.

Speaker 4 (01:30:30):
I fell at target, resulting in a broken hip and surgery.
I have no proof of what made me fall. I
went to an attorney. The burden is on me. I
don't know what my foot caught on am I just
out of luck? Sedgwick says, no liability.

Speaker 14 (01:30:45):
Okay, so I'll take the zone and then you can
pick it and pick it up. But first of all,
all these stores, every one of them either hire a
Crawford and Company or Sedgwick James. And if you look
up the website on Sedgwick, James and Cross, then they
basically boast that they save corporations across America millions billions.

Speaker 5 (01:31:05):
Of dose are attorneys who work for targets.

Speaker 7 (01:31:07):
They're not attorneys, what are they.

Speaker 14 (01:31:09):
They're a company that target hires, king super hires. They
hire them to minimize the claims and get rid of
the people before they get more serious on their claims.
So they're technically adjusters. Okay, but there's a special way
to deal with them. But you, I don't know what
your attorney told you. But do you normally I mean,

(01:31:31):
this is a crazy question, but you people don't normally
go around following and unless there's a reason to do so,
and usually it's around the produce department. Where were you
located in the store and what happened? Because I don't
believe you have no case here.

Speaker 5 (01:31:45):
Well, this is just a text message.

Speaker 4 (01:31:47):
So I can't ask the follow up question, but I
would strongly recommend she goes give you guys a call
at three three seven nine fifty nine hundred, so just
to find out more. I mean, that seems like one
of those things. What would be the process if she
comes to see you? What does Bell and Pollock do?

Speaker 7 (01:32:02):
First?

Speaker 14 (01:32:02):
Okay, well, we take when we interview her, we try
to figure out where in the store she fell. Her
the way she fell is critical. Did your feet go
out in front of you? Did you trip and go forward?
So usually when your feet go out in one way
or the other and you either land on your back,
your head, or your side, you slipped on produce or
you slipped on some slippery substance. And by the way,

(01:32:22):
they have video. And by the way, every time when
you ask the video, that's how you we're not going
to give it to you. Every time you need a
spoiulation letter, you need a spoilation letter, which means a
letter written by lawyers will be glad to do it
for you to the store that says, don't you spoil
or demolish or destroy any evidence, including the video, and

(01:32:44):
they will admit to you that have a video. And
we write them letters and say you've admitted it had
a video, but you won't give it to us, so
that forces us to sue.

Speaker 7 (01:32:53):
Your client so you can get it.

Speaker 14 (01:32:55):
Get the video, and they say, our policy is you
don't get the video.

Speaker 15 (01:32:58):
And if Cedric was on it, that means a claim
was made. You got a pretty good chance that Sedgwick
had the video.

Speaker 8 (01:33:05):
They looked at it.

Speaker 15 (01:33:06):
Now maybe they said it was so far back, depending
on how much time went by that the video.

Speaker 8 (01:33:10):
They ran back over the video.

Speaker 15 (01:33:11):
But Sedgwick normally is going to pull those videos and
look at them to determine what they think.

Speaker 8 (01:33:17):
But you know you want that video.

Speaker 15 (01:33:19):
You'd be very important, and it'd be important to go
back to where you fell and see if there's some
problem with the floor. There's some problem there. Also look
around to see if there's anything close by where you
could add a foreign substance on the floor.

Speaker 14 (01:33:34):
We have a rule in our law firm, and you're
gonna love this rule, okay on this subject, because occasionally
we have a company that will give you the video, okay,
like one two percent of the time. But when they
give you the video, the company likes what they see
and so.

Speaker 2 (01:33:52):
Here here, you go home.

Speaker 5 (01:33:53):
Take it.

Speaker 14 (01:33:54):
And when they don't like what they see, I guess
some of you can't have it. You need to come
see us. We can't help you.

Speaker 5 (01:34:01):
Shocking, shocking, shocking.

Speaker 4 (01:34:04):
Sure they might be. Uh, here's the question. I don't
know the answer to this. So is our lawsuit and
they say winnings.

Speaker 5 (01:34:11):
But are they taxed?

Speaker 4 (01:34:13):
Do you pay taxes on damages that you are awarded
in a lawsuit?

Speaker 8 (01:34:17):
Normally, No, they're not taxable.

Speaker 4 (01:34:20):
What would be the one area? What would be the
areas where they would be?

Speaker 15 (01:34:23):
You said, normally, if you're collecting money for lost wages
a lot of time, the amount collection for the lost
income is as taxable as income. As income. If you're
collecting money for pain and suffering and for lost quality
of life, uh, and for scarring or disfigurement, normally that's
not taxable.

Speaker 5 (01:34:44):
Okay, Apparently our target lady has called in. Is this Debbie?
You said, Aeron, Yeah, yes, so Debbie, you fell.

Speaker 4 (01:34:51):
In the target and you were basically told sorry, uh,
you don't have a case.

Speaker 5 (01:34:55):
Did you ask about video of any type?

Speaker 12 (01:34:58):
We asked about Viddy right away. This happened July twelfth,
two years ago. So almost a year and a half
ago and almost two years in July, and my attorney
asked for video right away. They never produced it. She
sent letters, they've denied every liability. But when I was

(01:35:19):
in the hospital, I went to the hospital right away
after the fall. My foot caught on something in the store,
but I think I was out of it. I never
I took didn't have a picture, I didn't have anything.
So she said, the burden of proof is on me,
and we cannot prove what I fell on. But I

(01:35:40):
just don't go around falling and breaking my hip. And
so she just said, you know the last letter that
they said they denied all liability. But when I was
in the hospital right away, Sedgwick kept calling me. They
called me about three times. I was in the hospital
two nights. They called me three or four times. I

(01:36:02):
don't know what they wanted, so I didn't talk to them.
I did ask my neighbor, who was an attorney, what
should I do, and he said, definitely, don't talk to them.
Go here when I went there. But they say the
burden of proof is on me, and then that's just it.
I have no proof except that I have medical records.

(01:36:24):
I did fall and break my hip. I don't know
what stopped my left foot.

Speaker 4 (01:36:29):
What is the what is the statute of limitations on
this debish?

Speaker 7 (01:36:33):
Two years? You got to move.

Speaker 8 (01:36:36):
There's no requirement for a note.

Speaker 5 (01:36:37):
Did you guys.

Speaker 4 (01:36:38):
File any sort of suit against target? Did you get
that far?

Speaker 5 (01:36:41):
Did you just send demand letters?

Speaker 12 (01:36:44):
No? Because a lawsuit again which she said that we
would have to the burden of proof is on me.
We have no proof except the medical records and that
I did fall. I was with my grandfather when I fell,
and he cannot he was six hens.

Speaker 14 (01:37:05):
Okay, but but there might have been someone's w But
also you said, you don't go around falling, all right,
so and some some people do. They have a medical
condition where they fall. You don't go around falling. You
might have the proof already you tripped, and there's a
there's got to be a video.

Speaker 15 (01:37:20):
When when they asked, when they said they had a video,
did your lawyer ask for it and get.

Speaker 8 (01:37:24):
A copy of it.

Speaker 12 (01:37:26):
They didn't say they had a video. We asked for
the video. They just never They've always ignored everything, every
letter until recently, and they just said they have no liability.
And I said, why did they even ask for the
exhibits of the medical records. Why did they call me initially,

(01:37:46):
you know, to find out And when we first asked
for the incident report the Target made we got got
it in print on a letter. The very first line
was in that port said that they asked me what
made me fall? And I said I was dizzy. I

(01:38:06):
never said that ever. I called Target back and I said,
I did not say I was dizzy. The paramedics came.
They asked me too, why I fell. I said, I
my foot, my left foot caught something on the floor.
I don't know what it was. When I got to
the hospital, they also asked me why I fell. How

(01:38:28):
I fell? I said, I don't know. I wasn't dizzy.
My left foot caught something on the left on my
left foot on the floor.

Speaker 16 (01:38:37):
I don't know what it was.

Speaker 4 (01:38:39):
It sounds like this is a perfect I mean, Debbie,
you may want to talk to these guys in the office,
but you need to do it like now, I mean now,
because your time.

Speaker 5 (01:38:47):
Is running out.

Speaker 4 (01:38:48):
It sounds to me like well, Cedric finally responded, just
to throw a little bone so the statute of limitations
can run out.

Speaker 7 (01:38:54):
Their their job is to discourage you.

Speaker 14 (01:38:56):
Their job is to delay you, Their job is to
pay you little or nothing, and their job is to
make the statute of limitation run out.

Speaker 15 (01:39:03):
Well, your lawyer is right that you you have the
burden to proof. Yes, you have to show that there
was a dangerous condition. But you know, once again, as
Gary said, people just don't go following in the store.
I mean, your foot caught on something. The question is
what did it catch on? Who took the reports? Who
who checked on? You know? I mean somebody had to

(01:39:23):
come to you when you fell, and there had to
be identification. There should be reports and videos. And that's
one place where I question the investigation because I'm shocked
that somebody didn't require those to see them.

Speaker 7 (01:39:38):
I do not think that manager.

Speaker 14 (01:39:40):
That manager's under a duty and obligation to make an
incident report. Don't think they didn't, but they're not going
to show you all of it.

Speaker 11 (01:39:48):
They did.

Speaker 12 (01:39:49):
I read it. It was wrong.

Speaker 7 (01:39:52):
Well that's even worse.

Speaker 12 (01:39:54):
And so that's you know, And that's what I said
right away, I was still recovering. I read the incident
report and I called target and I said, that's a lie.
I was never dizzy, And the attorney said, if you
would have been dizzy, the paramedics would have treated you differently.
They carried me to the car and told me to

(01:40:14):
go to the emergency room for X rays.

Speaker 5 (01:40:17):
Okay, we're out.

Speaker 4 (01:40:18):

know how this resolves.
