• 3:54
  On be. Square, I am 8 and you know what
• 3:58
  time it is. We're bringing you the voice of
• 4:00
  the heat, the real talk. Today's show is packed.
• 4:05
  We've got. Community Mail, a wild WT said.
• 4:09
  But I'm like dropping truth bomb and a spy interview.
• 4:11
  You'll want to hear twice, maybe 3 times.
• 4:15
  And plus and of course, is that every episode we honor our
• 4:20
  heroes in the tribute of the troupe.
• 4:21
  And of course, we'll end with some real talk and our final
• 4:25
  thoughts for today's mail call. You went on a trip.
• 4:30
  Yeah, I did. I went on a little excursion.
• 4:33
  I went to Breckenridge for a week by myself.
• 4:36
  You know, it's getting, I'm trying to take it personal.
• 4:38
  Everywhere I go, a thing I want to do, I'm going by myself.
• 4:42
  I don't mind going by myself. You know, H and I talked about
• 4:44
  this, you know, it's kind of nice to go by yourself because
• 4:46
  you have no, no one to answer to.
• 4:47
  You kind of do your own thing, but.
• 4:49
  Sometimes it gets lonely. No one wants to hang out with
• 4:52
  me. Actually, my mom, my wife and my
• 4:54
  granddaughter did come up for one day and hang out and and
• 4:57
  that in and of itself was a kind of a fiasco.
• 4:59
  You know, the little they call it a review, they're trying to
• 5:03
  get you to buy more crap. Yeah.
• 5:05
  So your spouse has to be there for that.
• 5:08
  So the only reason why she came up is because they gave me two
• 5:10
  free rounds of golf. So I'm like, and those rounds
• 5:12
  are like $350.00 each. So I was like, I'm not missing
• 5:15
  that on that. But yeah, it was a fiasco.
• 5:17
  Those people just did not take no for an answer, but had a
• 5:20
  great time. The snow was, you know, the snow
• 5:22
  at spring skiing. I'm not a huge spring skiing
• 5:25
  fan, but we had snow, a good snowstorm one day.
• 5:29
  So it's about 3 days out of the seven days was pretty good.
• 5:33
  But yeah, got my days in, met some, made some new friends that
• 5:39
  tried out my bike and I tried out a skate ski.
• 5:41
  It's like a ski or skate, that's the matter on the ski.
• 5:45
  So it was fun, had a good time and got in about 40 days this
• 5:50
  year so. Sweet.
• 5:54
  So that is our that's our TikTok.
• 5:57
  So anytime you share the TikTok or any time that you donate like
• 6:04
  a a rose that farts, really, Yeah, on TikTok and it will let
• 6:11
  us know like, you know, something happened.
• 6:13
  That reminded me of the old Dukes of Hazard.
• 6:15
  Yeah, yeah. And on TikTok, if you have a
• 6:18
  question or something, it will ask us now.
• 6:21
  By the way, good morning, Charles.
• 6:23
  Good morning, Charles. Good morning, Amber.
• 6:26
  Good morning, Amber. Me and you, me and Amber's been
• 6:29
  working their ass out of the last three weeks.
• 6:31
  We we've, we've got a we've got 7 new shows that are coming.
• 6:35
  Wow. 7 new shows like we had one show that left.
• 6:41
  I think she's on. A good morning.
• 6:43
  Good morning. We're on to bigger and better
• 6:45
  things. But you know, just a quick shout
• 6:49
  out to Audrey for Gunsling Tavern.
• 6:52
  I think she got picked up by somebody.
• 6:55
  So when she left it, it opened up another slot for the the Aon
• 7:00
  life, the living the AI life or something like that.
• 7:05
  Interesting that, that, that that's intriguing.
• 7:07
  Yeah, I went to the Small Business Summit this last couple
• 7:11
  days and they had a lot of technical difficulties, but it
• 7:14
  was pretty interesting and you know, I was sharing with H that
• 7:19
  the sound effects pretty. Cool.
• 7:21
  Yeah. So that sound effect right
• 7:22
  there, that means somebody gave us something other than a rose
• 7:26
  because a rose is a fart. Oh, OK, so whoever wants to do
• 7:30
  the 46 farts is hilarious. You make the Rose a fart.
• 7:35
  I did your your mic's not on the.
• 7:39
  Uh oh, you guys. Just keep going then, yeah?
• 7:44
  So, but yeah, the summit was pretty interesting.
• 7:47
  They had a lot of technical difficulties, but a lot of the
• 7:50
  AI stuff I I was telling H and he's like, dude, I taught you
• 7:54
  that last month. And I'm like, I know, I know, I
• 7:57
  know, but it was good for me. I.
• 7:59
  I learned some good. Stuff I wish it was not so many
• 8:01
  issues I couldn't. Even you know.
• 8:03
  Attend some of the stuff on the second day because they I
• 8:05
  couldn't I couldn't connect. So, and you know, I'm when, when
• 8:10
  I, when I, when I, when, when he told me that he was taking that
• 8:14
  class, I went and I said, well, you know, we, we went over that,
• 8:17
  you know, last week. I shouldn't have did that
• 8:20
  because it's it seems like whenever and I think it's like a
• 8:24
  back to basic kind of thing. Whenever, whenever you do one of
• 8:29
  those things, you know, you think you know everything kind
• 8:32
  of thing and then you get there. You always do learn something,
• 8:35
  even if it's just one thing or two things.
• 8:39
  You you always learn something like I didn't know that you
• 8:42
  cannot copyright any images that you do on like ChatGPT.
• 8:49
  But that's because when you like when my wife is doing the
• 8:53
  coloring book and we submitted to Amazon and and so it wasn't
• 8:57
  copyright. Exciting news, by the way.
• 8:59
  Yep. And ChatGPT basically said that
• 9:04
  you don't have to copyright it if it's done by ChatGPT because
• 9:08
  it has a time stamp when it was created, when it was done.
• 9:12
  And then that's that's better than any copyright.
• 9:16
  And I didn't realize that. I don't know that goes with
• 9:19
  everything. Also, I mean, ChatGPT like,
• 9:22
  borrows from real artwork to help create the images that it
• 9:25
  makes. Yeah.
• 9:26
  So it's already using other people's artwork to help you
• 9:32
  make that image. Yeah, part of the reason you
• 9:34
  can't copyright it. Well, no, it just, it just said
• 9:37
  that for copyright, all you have to do is put ChatGPT and bam,
• 9:41
  it's, it's it's done. So I don't know.
• 9:46
  But yeah, my wife has created three coloring books.
• 9:51
  That's. Awesome man that is so cool.
• 9:53
  I I need to get on there and order some of those books.
• 9:55
  Yeah. So the the first one is getting
• 9:59
  Ava loan from home. Ava loan home.
• 10:02
  It's a it's a coloring book cartoon of that.
• 10:05
  Man, dude, that is, I mean that what a what a novel concept.
• 10:08
  Because I mean, yeah, you're getting entertained.
• 10:11
  You're you're, you're, you're, you're.
• 10:13
  But you're learning something at the same time.
• 10:14
  Right, So cool, right? Like I said, the kids probably
• 10:17
  don't understand the writing, but your child?
• 10:19
  Is going to teach you how to kill.
• 10:24
  Well, you know, I was thinking, you know, 2 kill two birds with
• 10:27
  one stone. You know, if we give them good
• 10:29
  information, you know, not only can they like look at it because
• 10:34
  I mean, the kids not going to be able to read this.
• 10:36
  Shit. Congratulations, Cassie.
• 10:38
  Yes, exactly, Cassie. Kudos to.
• 10:41
  Cassie But it's just, it's just been, it's been fanatic.
• 10:46
  I did one on phenomenal, yeah, phenomenal.
• 10:50
  I did also one with going and getting your DH 214 submitted to
• 10:55
  VS OS and stuff like that. You know, the, the, the, the art
• 10:58
  in that is, you know, talking about, you know, you just don't
• 11:02
  want to go to any VSO. You know, when you go to these
• 11:05
  different places, it's kind of like car shopping, OK, when you
• 11:08
  go to the car shop, you don't want to just grab any VSO.
• 11:12
  You want to make sure to look and see on the wall, does he
• 11:15
  have a bunch of thank you letters?
• 11:17
  Does he have a bunch of certificates?
• 11:19
  You know, because if he doesn't have very many certificates and
• 11:23
  not very many thank you letters and chances are.
• 11:27
  He's crappy. Well, I want to say he's crappy.
• 11:29
  He's not as invested as some other people are.
• 11:33
  Everybody are different and they're they're and you.
• 11:35
  Know, and these folks, they work hard and, and our hats off to
• 11:39
  him. But you're right.
• 11:39
  I, I'm the same way I, I have to vet them like anyone else.
• 11:44
  And, and when I find someone I really like, I tell the world
• 11:48
  cause those, you know, those people like our lovely Lisa that
• 11:52
  comes on a quarterly. What did you call it?
• 11:55
  It came with a new name. VA benefits No.
• 12:00
  I don't. Know you don't remember?
• 12:02
  Anyway, I have the bulldog over there at the regional office.
• 12:05
  You know those guys, those gals that you know, when you find
• 12:08
  someone that really knows their stuff and they really connect
• 12:12
  with you because it is a connection.
• 12:13
  When you have a good connection with somebody and they speak
• 12:16
  your language and they get your needs met, you want to stick
• 12:19
  with that person. You really do.
• 12:21
  I mean, I'm telling you 'cause just like anything, there's
• 12:25
  people that are very effective at the jobs and then there's
• 12:26
  people that maybe aren't so effective.
• 12:28
  So, you know, you have to find what works for you.
• 12:33
  And it's kind of like an interview.
• 12:36
  I mean, a lot of people when they go to the doctor, they
• 12:38
  don't just take whoever they vet these people and they right.
• 12:41
  They make. Sure, it's a good fit and they
• 12:43
  make sure that it's the person that they want to for their
• 12:45
  care. So I look at it the same way.
• 12:49
  You know, and I agree with you and you're talking about your
• 12:55
  your event. So we're going to do a like a
• 12:59
  top Golf like a station thing here.
• 13:04
  So we're going to. Do on the 27th of May we're
• 13:06
  going to do a little less the fellas here in the studio, we're
• 13:11
  going to do a little top Golf event over at the Centennial
• 13:15
  location. You can bring a significant out
• 13:18
  if you guys want. You guys are responsible for all
• 13:21
  our liquor bills though, but. But yeah.
• 13:23
  We'll we'll go there have you're not having any.
• 13:26
  So that makes sense. That's.
• 13:28
  Fair, that's why, he says. That well, I don't want to make
• 13:31
  you pay for anything. You're not even going to
• 13:33
  partake. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 13:34
  Stuff yeah. So but yeah, just kind of a, you
• 13:40
  know, a thank you, a camaraderie type event and and and then kind
• 13:46
  of built. We talked about it last season
• 13:47
  about getting out and playing a little golf.
• 13:49
  We never did. So this would kind of be an
• 13:51
  icebreaker for us to try to figure out at least get out a
• 13:55
  couple times this year. There's a nice.
• 13:58
  Little Park through over here at Harvard Gulch.
• 14:00
  It's not too far from here. That'd probably be a good place
• 14:02
  to start, HC said. He's played one a couple times,
• 14:06
  maybe once. It's like one time I was the
• 14:09
  rookies over here. Yeah, I I think I was in middle
• 14:12
  school when I played Wow, it's been a while.
• 14:15
  And then Cayman's, he's a weird gint.
• 14:17
  So never played, never played. Only putt putt, Yeah, only putt
• 14:21
  putt golf. I mean, I I used to go crazy on
• 14:24
  the the Wii Sports golf man. I was Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I
• 14:28
  was, I was a demon on that low key.
• 14:30
  But we're not going to have anything that's going to show us
• 14:34
  where exactly the wind is blowing and the.

• 23:16
  today on the rebel experience, you know, we didn't mention
• 23:20
  earlier, but you know, our interview of the week will be
• 23:23
  having a one of one of I think this is like only the second
• 23:27
  first responder that we've had in the on the there you go some
• 23:32
  roses. They're they're our.
• 23:37
  Farts do smell like roses, yes. Will let.
• 23:42
  Anybody tell you otherwise? Yes, fart train.
• 23:45
  That was the fart train there buddy.
• 23:47
  So. Cheeks top and.
• 23:49
  Bottom. So we got.
• 23:52
  More we have we will have more trending news.
• 23:56
  We I forget dude, we get we got the sports and stuff from
• 24:00
  caveman and then didn't we? Yeah, you ain't said we haven't.
• 24:04
  Talked about that. No sports.
• 24:06
  Yeah. We got sad news to break out
• 24:08
  everybody because the ABS are eliminated, Yeah.
• 24:11
  Yeah, that's. Been eliminated.
• 24:13
  My bad. That's pretty.
• 24:15
  Good timing right there. Yeah, that was pretty.
• 24:19
  Good timing. OK, So what is your?
• 24:23
  What's your thoughts the. ABS.
• 24:25
  Should have swept them. Dude they choked.
• 24:27
  Yeah they choked that series so hard.
• 24:29
  Choked 3 games in that series. Well, and you know, earlier this
• 24:35
  week we found out that now that the ABS were out, we thought
• 24:41
  that they was going to take the ABS flags out of downtown and
• 24:44
  put like the Nuggets and stuff on Laramie.
• 24:46
  Square. Yeah.
• 24:48
  You know where they usually have the Colorado flags all down the
• 24:50
  street. There's a bunch of bars and
• 24:52
  stuff, right, Right. No cars, just walking and stuff.
• 24:55
  Yeah, they have. They had a bunch of ABS flags.
• 24:58
  The game seven in the first round was on the same night,
• 25:01
  yes. So they had all all ABS stuff,
• 25:04
  the ABS lost and the Nuggets won, and they just put Colorado
• 25:08
  flags back up and there's no Nuggets flags on Laramie Square.
• 25:12
  Wow. How about that so we know what
• 25:14
  kind of fans they are? That has That has to be a
• 25:18
  political move though. That has to be, you know, maybe
• 25:21
  the maybe the coach pissed off Paul.
• 25:25
  It was it. Was Malone.
• 25:27
  Before. They fired, yeah, maybe they're
• 25:28
  big Malone fans. And I just can't see it being
• 25:31
  something from the coach. Like it would have to be an
• 25:33
  owner thing because the owner is going to play the biggest, he'll
• 25:38
  have the most impact on the city, you know?
• 25:41
  But Crocky owns both the Ads and the Nuggets, so I don't.
• 25:45
  I've always. I've always kind of thought he
• 25:46
  kind of favors the ABS a little bit.
• 25:49
  Can't. I can't lie.
• 25:50
  I can't. Lie.
• 25:51
  Well, I mean, especially if they're hockey fans more than
• 25:55
  they're basketball fans. I could see that, you know.
• 25:59
  And I mean, my opinion means nothing, but I'm, I've always
• 26:04
  been partial to the ABS myself. You know, I'm just, I'm just
• 26:07
  better. I I enjoy watching hockey more
• 26:10
  than I do basketball. So you know I'm a huge Nuggets
• 26:14
  fan but love my ABS, right? So there is.
• 26:19
  That all we got, all we got left the our only hope for a
• 26:23
  championship left this calendar year is the Denver Nuggets.
• 26:26
  Yes. Oh yeah?
• 26:27
  Well, that's that's true. Winning.
• 26:29
  Anything there's 6 and 30. Rockies, I think, are on pace to
• 26:33
  win 24 games, which would be by far the worst season we've ever
• 26:42
  seen from a pro baseball team. Yeah, it's like less.
• 26:45
  I mean, they are almost less than 10% of they're reaching new
• 26:49
  levels. And what's the name of the?
• 26:51
  What's the name of the owner of that?
• 26:54
  Team. The the Rockies.
• 26:56
  Let me look, Mumford. Mumford.
• 26:59
  Mumford. Yeah, Mumford.
• 27:01
  How come he's. What is up the Mumford brothers?
• 27:05
  Honestly. Like.
• 27:09
  I don't. Even really know they just don't
• 27:11
  spend their money in the offseason on like players or
• 27:14
  like to make a big signing. Yeah, I.
• 27:16
  There's no salary. Cap you can you could pay for
• 27:18
  whoever you want owners, these guys are kind of broke.
• 27:21
  That's another huge problem. Very true.
• 27:24
  Like I don't even think their net worth is is a billion, which
• 27:27
  I mean, like the Dodgers and like Mets line up are like a
• 27:31
  billion dollars, like just what they're paying the players.
• 27:35
  That's not even like the net worth of the team and what
• 27:37
  they're worth. So yeah, we just need new owners
• 27:42
  and it like it, But I don't these guys just don't want to.
• 27:47
  They just don't seem to want to sell the team because.
• 27:50
  They're. Not they're not making money off
• 27:51
  of the product, the baseball product that's put off the
• 27:54
  field. They're making money off of like
• 27:56
  beer sales and people coming to hang on because.
• 27:58
  It's a stadium. In a great location with the
• 28:02
  great view, you know, in a city that has really beautiful summer
• 28:06
  days. That's why it doesn't make sense
• 28:09
  that we don't have money because like people still go, right?
• 28:11
  Like they still, we can fill, we can make a big, we can make a
• 28:15
  big signing in the offseason. They just don't, we just don't
• 28:19
  like the Rockies got the colors too.
• 28:21
  So they they do well on like merchandise sales.
• 28:24
  Like what team is purple? That's such a cool unique like
• 28:28
  team color. Other than the Lakers, there's
• 28:31
  not a lot of what team has what team has Dinger?
• 28:33
  I mean, come on. Oh yeah, shout out to Dinger.
• 28:36
  Like we got one of the feather purple color schemes because
• 28:38
  it's like purple with like a black and a white and it to
• 28:42
  match the mountains and the color of our skyline.
• 28:45
  It's still has like hints at the city.
• 28:48
  It's a nice that is a nice team and like you said, beautiful
• 28:52
  venue. I mean just the, you know, the
• 28:53
  right mountains on the. Background dude if.
• 28:55
  That if they had like a halfway decent baseball team, not even
• 28:59
  like good, just like average, because like they've just been,
• 29:03
  they don't even have to be that good.
• 29:04
  Make the playoffs. They've been do these points for
• 29:07
  well, you know, five years. The one feather in your cap is
• 29:10
  is if you want a a family excursion, it's really cheap to
• 29:14
  close. That is that is always good
• 29:17
  thing. It's like these tickets going to
• 29:19
  a Rockies game. It's like more of like a yeah,
• 29:21
  way to like go hang out with your family or catch up with
• 29:24
  like a friend or something. Yeah.
• 29:26
  You're kind of just going there to have like a setting with food
• 29:29
  and drinks. Yeah.
• 29:31
  And some entertainment that you can kind of pay attention to.
• 29:34
  Kind of not a good play once in a while if you're not a if
• 29:37
  you're not a Rockies, you're about.
• 29:39
  Well, I'm from. What I understand, like the
• 29:41
  Rockies are now, they're like the perfect place to to hold a
• 29:45
  business meeting. Oh yeah.
• 29:47
  Oh, I'm sure business deals get down there all the.
• 29:50
  Time, yeah. It has like a nice party deck
• 29:53
  that they just added after last season, the season before 2324,
• 29:59
  there was a party deck they added.
• 30:01
  So there's like just so much things you can do there.
• 30:04
  There's they have like a top golf simulator in a baseball
• 30:08
  stadium. It's like baseball's almost
• 30:10
  secondary to like what goes what you're doing it.
• 30:14
  It really is. It really is.
• 30:15
  It's kind of, there's so much going on, forget.
• 30:17
  It's kind of like going to Indy 500 or one of the big races, you
• 30:20
  know, Daytona. You forget why you're there.
• 30:24
  So much going. On with two drumsticks and a
• 30:26
  giant hat and you're walking around just spent all your check
• 30:30
  on YouTube. It's like a it's like a carnival
• 30:33
  with like a sporting event also happening.
• 30:35
  Exactly. You can go check out, you know,
• 30:38
  sideshow Bob's there. Yeah, let's pop in for for an
• 30:42
  ending YouTube. OK well, that was nice.
• 30:44
  Let's go through the merry go round now, like well before.
• 30:47
  Before we get derailed totally let is let's let's hit that.
• 30:51
  What the segment clip? They're cool.
• 30:53
  Tats. Man, oh for.
• 30:55
  Real thank you bro. You see the cobra?
• 30:56
  And what is this 10? This.
• 30:59
  That's my credo. No regrets.
• 31:03
  You have no regrets, Dad. No.
• 31:05
  Like not even a single letter. No way.
• 31:07
  Not me. I love him.
• 31:10
  I think he's great. I think he's a.
• 31:11
  Real winner Casey, if I were you, I wouldn't use protection.
• 31:17
  Oh. Hey, come here.
• 31:22
  Hello. The raccoon has a her meth pipe
• 31:26
  as what? Oh my.
• 31:28
  God, her meth pipe. He's playing.
• 31:30
  With the meth pipe right now, no, don't reach for it.
• 31:33
  That's evidence now I don't want.
• 31:35
  Him to have well I'm. That's why I'm going to do it,
• 31:38
  hey. Buddy, it's OK.
• 31:42
  OK, you're on. He'll be here in 2 minutes.
• 31:44
  I'm right across from my heart, yeah.
• 31:48
  This is what she's smoking meth in OK.
• 31:52
  The. Raccoon play with her meth pipe.
• 31:58
  All right. Oh, there's no He's trying to
• 32:00
  smoke. It all right.
• 32:03
  There's no way. All right.
• 32:07
  All right, enough fun and games holy.
• 32:14
  Hell. Dude, what happened to Rocket
• 32:19
  Man? Ever since he got kicked off the
• 32:21
  guardians of the guy, he's really straight down.
• 32:26
  He found himself man. He was saving.
• 32:30
  The universe. Now he's smoking nothing.
• 32:32
  Springfield, OH. It's his.
• 32:36
  Own meth lab hell like. That the cop that was making
• 32:40
  those remarks, it sounded like he was a kindergarten.
• 32:42
  Oh, he's funny too. He was, really.
• 32:46
  Amused by. That's what I got from that.
• 32:49
  Like tell me that that you don't get into your job without
• 32:53
  telling me that you don't get into your job.
• 32:56
  He could have. Taken it a little more
• 32:58
  seriously. That's also like shows you how
• 33:00
  intelligent raccoons are. I mean that thing is.
• 33:03
  I didn't go like that. You just.
• 33:05
  Saw. Saw them do it, probably.
• 33:06
  That's a pet rack. Yeah.
• 33:07
  Yeah. They're like monkeys.
• 33:10
  You got a poseable? That's pretty smart, yeah.
• 33:12
  That is the reason why you keep your car somewhat clean,
• 33:15
  everybody. Somewhat.
• 33:17
  Clean. Yeah, somewhat.
• 33:18
  Clean well. Yeah, I don't know if you could.
• 33:20
  Really see it in that video, but the passenger side, the window
• 33:23
  just sounds like it's gone and there's just like a picket.
• 33:26
  Fence it was like. A NASCAR freaking like, yeah, it
• 33:28
  was like a cage or something. I actually, I saw a follow up to
• 33:32
  that. The two officers there was
• 33:33
  because there was actually two of them involved in the stop and
• 33:36
  they were trying to give a press conference.
• 33:38
  And those guys, they kept pausing and they were doing so
• 33:41
  many like uhs and umms just like trying to keep their composure
• 33:46
  and like in a serious manner described in other words.
• 33:48
  They sounded like us on a Wednesday.
• 33:52
  They just could. They were trying so hard to keep
• 33:55
  it together. And so it was just.
• 33:57
  Like the slowest paced story because he's like so when I saw
• 34:01
  the raccoon pull something out of the bag lot like long pause
• 34:06
  and it was it was the nothing pipe use the smoke
• 34:09
  methamphetamine like he's trying.
• 34:12
  It's a. Very comical situation, like, I
• 34:14
  don't know, well, we all need a little levity.
• 34:17
  So it kind of broke up the monotony for you guys and the
• 34:20
  stress of the day. Yeah, well, I mean, which one
• 34:24
  was bad? This one or the one that the the
• 34:27
  TikTok traffic stop where they, they, the woman called the
• 34:31
  police because the they, they, they took her drugs.
• 34:37
  Do you remember? That one, you don't remember
• 34:39
  that TikTok. OK, all right, hey, so viral
• 34:44
  clip of that week. That is definitely a little
• 34:48
  humorous. Stuff like that.
• 34:51
  Today's winner, Florida man, a lawn chair and a 27 helium
• 34:57
  balloons. Can't make this shit up.
• 34:59
  And then, yeah, I don't know if I was supposed to read that or
• 35:03
  not, but you know, I'm doing the Biden so.
• 35:08
  What? What do you?
• 35:10
  Before we leave the Nuggets, do you guys think they're do you
• 35:16
  think they can make it past this past round?
• 35:18
  You're all. Over the place today.
• 35:20
  Yeah. You know.
• 35:22
  The the we went on a whole OK CS number one seed.
• 35:25
  So I don't know dude, I don't think it's the best team in the
• 35:28
  league. Yeah, there's a chance.
• 35:30
  Honestly, I don't want it to happen.
• 35:32
  There's a chance they win the next three games on us and just
• 35:35
  go to the Western Conference finals.
• 35:37
  That's the best team in the league there.
• 35:39
  The thing is is I think you know they maybe that game one got
• 35:43
  away from them because they have been sitting so long right.
• 35:46
  They were waiting for us to go to the game seven with the
• 35:48
  freaking Clippers. So now it's like.
• 35:51
  Yeah, I. Mean we'll we'll see because
• 35:53
  when that our when like our role players are playing well.
• 35:58
  Denver's A. Very hard team this time.
• 35:59
  Oh my gosh, dude. When we're when we're fine on
• 36:01
  all cylinders, we are unbeatable, man.
• 36:03
  Like, and if Jamal Murray starts going off, because he's been
• 36:06
  kind of quiet these past two years and and Joker's really off
• 36:09
  his game too. He's not really playing dude.
• 36:10
  He was great in game one. But yeah, they they kind of they
• 36:14
  really frustrated them as a different crew that was letting
• 36:17
  some like a lot more physicality borders hurt.
• 36:20
  So he's not really a weapon. Gordon is ship on fire.
• 36:24
  He's not, you know, in the LA Clippers round, you know, you
• 36:30
  know, some players are really, you know, did really well.
• 36:33
  But I haven't really seen them, you know, perform as well in
• 36:38
  this series as they did in that series.
• 36:40
  So MPJ, that's my that's my opinion on them now.
• 36:44
  Like, we got to get rid of them. Yeah.
• 36:46
  Ship them. The experiment's too.
• 36:49
  It's far too gone. I feel like I I.
• 36:52
  Don't even follow basketball that much and he's it seems like
• 36:56
  he's always injured. He's.
• 36:58
  We drafted him injured. He had he had to get back
• 37:00
  surgery his rookie season and. He's.
• 37:03
  Been an experiment he was he was like a a project in a high a
• 37:08
  high upside the eye like high ceiling type player because
• 37:13
  before he got hurt in college he was actually projected to be
• 37:16
  like the number one overall player.
• 37:18
  He was pretty much the best player in college basketball,
• 37:20
  right. He just had to get a back
• 37:22
  surgery. Yeah, he had multiple back
• 37:24
  surgeries and that really messed him up.
• 37:25
  And he dropped all the way to us at 13.
• 37:28
  And there have always been those flashes from him, but he's just
• 37:33
  never been able to never like really, really peaked really
• 37:36
  real like unlock that potential that you thought could have been
• 37:39
  there being like a, a projected number one overall pick at some
• 37:43
  point. You know, it's not like he's
• 37:45
  like a a bust in the draft. He's a good player still.
• 37:48
  I I feel like if the Nuggets had a deeper team, it would be
• 37:52
  worthwhile to keep him around, but we don't.
• 37:54
  And what he's what we have them for, he's very inconsistent at
• 37:59
  which is the problem in other. Words.
• 38:01
  He's worth more as a trade pick rather than that.
• 38:05
  I think other teams would like other players that we have just
• 38:09
  probably wouldn't give us as much value as we could probably
• 38:12
  get for him because again, there's still that like, like we
• 38:15
  like there's still that potential with that upside with
• 38:18
  him. You know, that other teams that
• 38:21
  maybe have some more depth or that just need those are just
• 38:26
  worse and just kind of need a guy to like put up some stats to
• 38:30
  keep the fans in their tans while they're tanking.
• 38:32
  Could find some value from him at Yeah, he's just like he I,
• 38:37
  he's not really like. I don't think.
• 38:40
  He's unlocking a whole lot for us on like the term of
• 38:43
  championship potential. But again, there's like it's a
• 38:45
  lot of guys are we have a lot of guys that just don't do a whole
• 38:49
  lot for the team. I mean, weird.
• 38:51
  Yeah, we'll. Just we'll just have to watch
• 38:54
  and and, and see how it plays, plays out super.
• 38:58
  Shallow rotation like of all the teams in the playoffs, I think
• 39:01
  we've got probably the like we're not very sure this
• 39:04
  rotation, right, Like Westbrook, he was a pivotal in the first.
• 39:08
  I mean our bench is pretty much muscle.
• 39:11
  Our bench is pretty much Russell Westbrook and like a little
• 39:15
  Peyton Watson. That's like we're almost running
• 39:17
  a seven man rotation every game. It's not Jalen Pickett even
• 39:21
  seeing minutes in the playoffs. The only.
• 39:23
  OK, before we get off, let's let let little stuff.
• 39:27
  No, no, let's let's hit the drop the mic moment.
• 39:32
  All right. Well, don't worry, don't worry.
• 39:42
  I could do. What you all?
• 39:43
  Think I'm going to do what's? Up what are you?
• 39:54
  Doing. How about?
• 39:56
  I'm buying your mother coffee. But.
• 39:58
  Look, I want the one too. I got.
• 40:01
  Take the ice. Don't worry about it.
• 40:03
  Look. But.
• 40:04
  I. Want to teach you something?
• 40:06
  So what do you do? Is this you order a coffee?
• 40:08
  No ice, right? You order.
• 40:10
  A coffee, no ice, right? I want to 5 bucks.
• 40:13
  So every time you go to 5 bucks, you know what happens, right?
• 40:16
  You pay $5. Six dollars.
• 40:18
  This cost me 6 bucks. Look at this Bubba.
• 40:20
  Look at this. There's one.
• 40:26
  Hey, Bubba. What do you do with?
• 40:27

  The Internet. Right there.
• 40:53
  Or or coffee or. Hear me out, Boba.
• 40:57
  Boba. You could go to the store, ask
• 40:59
  them if you could buy like 2 cups, go brew your own name
• 41:03
  coffee in your house, pour it in there and you got the same
• 41:05
  thing. Yeah, or.
• 41:07
  Just do what I do. I just walk in and just take the
• 41:09
  cups and, you know, and I just go back there and start brewing
• 41:13
  my own coffee at the Starbucks. I don't even question but I
• 41:16
  mean. That's true.
• 41:18
  Like no matter how you look at it, if you go to McDonald's and
• 41:21
  you get a large Coke, it fills up a small cup.
• 41:27
  Yeah. That's the way to do it.
• 41:30
  It's like when I am running out of a certain drink at work and I
• 41:33
  don't really have time to run back to the walk in.
• 41:35
  We have like little boxes of apple juice.
• 41:38
  I'll just put more ice in the cup so it fills up faster.
• 41:42
  Then it like use less apple juice and I don't have to run
• 41:45
  back. That's right.
• 41:47
  That's right. Fills it up.
• 41:49
  All right, we're running a little long, so yeah.
• 41:51
  We're we're going to go ahead and go on for my break.
• 41:55
  The the teleprompter is acting all weird.
• 41:58
  That's not weird. Yeah.
• 41:59
  So, so when we come back. What are we talking about?
• 42:03
  Today? We got an EMT from Allen's Park.
• 42:08
  He, he a man of many talents, wears many hats.
• 42:11
  But his name is Lars Waika and he may have to call him to the
• 42:14
  show because he has kind of spotty Internet.

  We are currently waiting on our interview of the week, but until
• 56:57
  then, you know, we just wanted to recap all the things that are
• 57:03
  going on this month and next month because we've got a, we
• 57:07
  got a busy one, some concerts and stuff that we're, you know,
• 57:12
  going to talk about in the near future.
• 57:15
  Those haven't been confirmed yet.
• 57:16
  So we aren't going to give those days, but we are currently
• 57:20
  trying to do Country Jam and Freedom Fest, if there is one
• 57:25
  this year. June 14th, 3rd annual Gratitude
• 57:28
  MO Gratitude ride. Make sure that you're checking
• 57:32
  out that and July 12th is the car show at Douglas Fairgrounds,
• 57:40
  not to mention or forget about the July 4th skydiving event.
• 57:46
  If you want to do that event veterans, first responders, send
• 57:50
  in your testimonies or your essays.
• 57:52
  Why does this jump mean so much to you?
• 57:54
  You can be in. Video format if you'd like,
• 57:56
  right? Exactly.
• 57:57
  So get those into us. All right, We only have two July
• 58:02
  19th there's a car show at Stinger Soccer complex.
• 58:06
  We will be there. And last but not least, before
• 58:09
  we go to our interview of the week, September 20th, Buddy Bull
• 58:13
  flag football for charity. If you, if you want to be a part
• 58:18
  of it, call the station V will because it's, it's a these event
• 58:25
  that he's coordinating. Call, ask him any questions that
• 58:29
  you need to. And I, you know, I don't know if
• 58:33
  it is, but I'm sure that if you're a non profit and you
• 58:37
  would like a booth out there, I'm sure we can get something
• 58:41
  fixed up for you for like a $30 donation.
• 58:43
  So yes, and. I also heard from a fellow
• 58:46
  veteran about the jump cast and all that stuff.
• 58:49
  He said that they're on board, but he didn't give me
• 58:51
  particular. So I got to get a hold of him
• 58:53
  and see if they're going to donate it or what the what the
• 58:56
  skin needs. And I do believe that we need to
• 58:58
  go out to school one last time just before the school year
• 59:01
  ends. I'm OK.
• 59:02
  With that, I'm OK with that, yeah.
• 59:04
  Same page, you know I'm OK. With that, OK.
• 59:07
  All right. Well, well, we got our our guy
• 59:09
  here today and our interviews in so without further ado.
• 59:14
  Interview of the Week. The interview of the week is
• 59:19
  brought to you by Jersey Mike's, a sub above.
• 59:26
  Welcome, welcome, welcome. Mr. Wyka, How are you?
• 59:30
  Good morning. Thank you.
• 59:31
  I'm good, Sir. I hope you are both well.
• 59:34
  Yes, Sir. We're good.
• 59:36
  Glad to see that looks like. I got it.
• 59:39
  I'm fixing a good connection. You've got beautiful weather out
• 59:43
  there, looks like. Yep, beautiful day on the
• 59:47
  mountain. Nice, nice.
• 59:50
  Yes. So yeah, everything seems to be
• 59:53
  working out well right now. So we'll we'll go ahead and run
• 59:56
  with it. So tell us a little bit about
• 59:59
  are you a native of Colorado? No, I grew up on the East Coast
• 1:00:04
  and I came out here at the age of 15.
• 1:00:07
  Oh, OK, so East Coast or what part of what part of the East
• 1:00:11
  Coast? Northern.
• 1:00:12
  New Jersey and spent a long time in Vermont and New York State.
• 1:00:17
  All right. Yeah, I I spent a couple years
• 1:00:19
  in New York. Yeah.
• 1:00:22
  What what brought you West? Well, my brother came out to go
• 1:00:29
  to Denver University, and I've always had a love for the
• 1:00:32
  mountains. I spent a lot of time in upstate
• 1:00:35
  New York, in the mountains, in caskills, as well as Vermont.
• 1:00:39
  And when I had the opportunity and my family allowed me to come
• 1:00:43
  out West to the Rockies, I jumped on it.
• 1:00:47
  Awesome. Yeah.
• 1:00:48
  So a little bit different. I mean, like you said, the
• 1:00:50
  Catskills are beautiful and, and, and it's got a lot to
• 1:00:53
  offer, but yeah, quite, quite a contrast between those mountain
• 1:00:57
  ranges and the Rocky Mountains. And I'm kind of like you, I'm
• 1:01:00
  kind of partial to the Rocky Mountains and, and all they have
• 1:01:03
  to offer. And it always boggles my mind
• 1:01:05
  that there's a lot of, I won't mention any demographics or, or
• 1:01:10
  eras, youthful people that don't take advantage of, of, of all
• 1:01:16
  that Colorado has to offer. Most.
• 1:01:19
  Definitely one thing that I'm really shocked at is with the
• 1:01:23
  Rocky Mountains and how much we have available here, especially
• 1:01:30
  sports wise. Everything from people running
• 1:01:33
  up on the mountains, trail biking to hiking, hunting,
• 1:01:39
  fishing and more. We have a lot of people in
• 1:01:43
  Colorado that seem to never get outdoors.
• 1:01:47
  Yeah, it is. It is pretty.
• 1:01:48
  It's definitely a conundrum. Well, you know.
• 1:01:51
  Keep in mind though, there's a lot of people that live up in
• 1:01:53
  Aspen or Winter Park area for the notion that they was going
• 1:01:57
  to move there because, you know, they, they, they was going to be
• 1:02:00
  addicted to snowboarding or skiing.
• 1:02:02
  And 90% of those people, they may be make it out there one
• 1:02:07
  time. You know it's.
• 1:02:08
  So true you, you think because I have some, not a lot, but I have
• 1:02:12
  some friends that live in those mountain towns and I think you
• 1:02:14
  think these people ski 200 days a year, right?
• 1:02:17
  And like you said, they do seven days, four days.
• 1:02:19
  It's that. Sometimes there's only one.
• 1:02:22
  Yeah, it's crazy. Dude, I'm like, Oh my God, I I
• 1:02:25
  just assumed. No, dude, I don't, I don't ski
• 1:02:27
  that much. I'm like, wow, that's crazy.
• 1:02:30
  Yeah, you. Just you, you can't always wait
• 1:02:33
  for the great snow days to be out there.
• 1:02:35
  And I apologize for moving this around.
• 1:02:37
  I forgot to plug in my power supply, so I'm working on that
• 1:02:41
  as we speak. That's OK.
• 1:02:43
  I'm impressed with your background.
• 1:02:44
  That's not a green scheme, that's real.
• 1:02:46
  So if you. See a bear back there?
• 1:02:51
  Please let me know, OK? All right, a bear or some guy
• 1:02:57
  dressed all in black and stuff. Yeah, we'll let you know.
• 1:03:00
  We. We literally got your back.
• 1:03:02
  Don't worry about it. Yeah, it's.
• 1:03:05
  It is bear season now. I do have Sky with me, my
• 1:03:08
  beautiful Siberian Husky, so she would sound the alarm if we
• 1:03:12
  were. Fast friends so Lars and I met
• 1:03:17
  2-3 years ago at at a hunting event and we've been friends
• 1:03:21
  ever since and he's very experienced hunter, he's this
• 1:03:25
  guy's worn many hats. You know, he's been a producer,
• 1:03:27
  he's been an actor, he's been an inventor.
• 1:03:32
  He's, he's a hunter, hunter and fisherman and just done all
• 1:03:37
  sorts of stuff and, and I'm one of the one of the many hats he's
• 1:03:40
  worn is being EMT so, and back when there were real EMTs, real
• 1:03:46
  man, real woman. So but yeah, so it's been
• 1:03:51
  interesting to get no Lars and and he was gracious enough to
• 1:03:54
  fill in this time slot. I had a cancellation and I I
• 1:03:58
  approached him and he didn't even hesitate.
• 1:04:00
  He's like, yeah, sure. I I would love to fill in for
• 1:04:02
  yeah, we'll. At large, we'll definitely have
• 1:04:04
  to get you involved with the upcoming Buddy Bowl cause the
• 1:04:08
  Buddy Bowl, one of the nonprofits that we support, it's
• 1:04:13
  a flag football for charity and it supports disabled veterans
• 1:04:18
  and it supports, you know, disabled, you know, first
• 1:04:21
  responders. So it's definitely something
• 1:04:24
  that you could get on board with to, to help us out.
• 1:04:27
  Yeah, it's on the. 20th of September, So we got plenty of
• 1:04:29
  time, yeah, for you not to back out.
• 1:04:34
  Certainly. I'll, I'll mark the calendar for
• 1:04:37
  that and get more information from you as we talk.
• 1:04:39
  V Yeah, yeah. That's that.
• 1:04:41
  Sounds good and I. Appreciate, I want to say this,
• 1:04:44
  I appreciate you being there for the veterans most definitely men
• 1:04:49
  and women that have supported and defending this country are
• 1:04:53
  are so important. I was able to get into the
• 1:04:56
  services because God invented me with the 1st 2 little vertebraes
• 1:05:02
  that are about that tiny together were fused at birth so
• 1:05:07
  that that kept me from the service.
• 1:05:09
  So I went in to serve my community and state by being a
• 1:05:14
  first responder and search and rescue teams.
• 1:05:18
  So that was exciting. And you say back when men were
• 1:05:23
  men, it was more of the Wild West.
• 1:05:26
  And a lot of it we just had to kind of invent and go along.
• 1:05:30
  And you know, there's been hundreds of thousands, if not
• 1:05:34
  millions of people that are in this profession and have been in
• 1:05:38
  this profession that served the time and, and give back.
• 1:05:43
  And it was rewarding. It was interesting.
• 1:05:48
  It gave me life skills that I'll never forget.
• 1:05:52
  For instance, when you're a first responder and especially
• 1:05:57
  as a paramedic, you have to think on your toes in seconds
• 1:06:01
  because seconds matter. You don't know the history of
• 1:06:03
  the person, you don't know what you're walking into.
• 1:06:07
  A lot of times it's not the best or safest environments and you
• 1:06:12
  have to figure it all out and get it done and save the life in
• 1:06:21
  less than 3 minutes and get them transported or get them
• 1:06:24
  stabilized. So by doing that, those life
• 1:06:29
  skills are in you for life. So whether it comes to making a
• 1:06:34
  repair on my diesel truck, something happens with it
• 1:06:38
  hunting, we all know, V knows very well.
• 1:06:41
  You go out hunting, you think you're all prepared and you get
• 1:06:44
  out there and a lot of guys have forgotten their ammunition.
• 1:06:47
  So you have very little time to think that resource that get it
• 1:06:53
  done with fishing, you know, somebody might forget their
• 1:06:55
  flies or their bait, you know, So it's adapt, improvise,
• 1:07:01
  overcome. And it was exciting.
• 1:07:04
  And one of the highlights of those days was being able to
• 1:07:08
  deliver a child. So, you know, that was that.
• 1:07:12
  That's something, I mean, that happened in the late 70s and I
• 1:07:16
  can still remember it as if it was yesterday.
• 1:07:18
  So that's a good thing, yeah. Did you ever see like after
• 1:07:22
  that, that beautiful experience? Did you ever see that mother
• 1:07:27
  again? No, the The thing is you, you're
• 1:07:33
  there briefly. You're in and out of their lives
• 1:07:37
  and you don't see the people again.
• 1:07:40
  I'm, you know, everybody's always in my prayers and I hope
• 1:07:46
  and, you know, pray that that child, well, that that child,
• 1:07:52
  it's a young individual in the age of 30s now.
• 1:07:55
  So yeah, yeah, it's, it's been some years and then I just
• 1:08:01
  forgot. I guess it's more in the age of
• 1:08:03
  40s. Well, well, maybe since you're
• 1:08:05
  broadcasting with us today and that person in the past will see
• 1:08:10
  this and we'll reach out and we, we, we.
• 1:08:13
  That'll be their first NBR reunion.
• 1:08:17
  That would be that. That would be fantastic.
• 1:08:20
  You, you never know. We do live in a small world.
• 1:08:23
  Yes, we do live in a small world.
• 1:08:25
  So. So how long were you in that
• 1:08:28
  field there, Lars? Well.
• 1:08:30
  In and off it, it, it, it's as everybody knows, you know,
• 1:08:36
  duties can be tough, especially with family life.
• 1:08:40
  And I had a a child and a wife. So at times I had to break away,
• 1:08:47
  make more income and then I would go back to it.
• 1:08:51
  So it spanned a a decade. Oh, OK.
• 1:08:55
  OK, Yeah, yeah, that's, that's a long time.
• 1:08:58
  I mean, that's, that's a lot of wear and tear on the body and a
• 1:09:01
  lot of, you know, stress to deal with.
• 1:09:08
  You know. And and and 10 years well.
• 1:09:10
  Exactly. And, and that's where that's
• 1:09:13
  where my initial disability comes in too.
• 1:09:16
  And I, I will shout out and just say this, I appreciate the state
• 1:09:20
  of Colorado. They had passed legislation
• 1:09:23
  because of a officer that was injured in duty to to honor
• 1:09:29
  first responders that have been injured in line.
• 1:09:32
  And I appreciate that. And our Colorado Parks and
• 1:09:35
  Wildlife adds to their share and gives us some benefits for that
• 1:09:41
  as well. And anybody listening that's not
• 1:09:44
  aware of that, you can go to Colorado Parks and Wildlife and,
• 1:09:47
  and look that up and also the statutes of the state of
• 1:09:50
  Colorado to find out about that. But you know, one of the
• 1:09:54
  benefits I get is a lifetime state parks pass, which is nice,
• 1:10:02
  you know, and, and it's, it's nice to reflect upon while
• 1:10:05
  you're walking through some of these aches and pains that I
• 1:10:09
  know we all experience and have, you know, to, to have and, you
• 1:10:14
  know, the, the fishing and small game license and a few other
• 1:10:18
  benefits. You know, it's nice.
• 1:10:21
  It, it, it's a great thing because as V said in the
• 1:10:23
  beginning, I am an avid sportsman.
• 1:10:26
  I don't get out like I used to. I can't, I have assistance when
• 1:10:32
  I do go out, which is great and I appreciate, you know,
• 1:10:36
  volunteers that help bring an animal out for me and so forth
• 1:10:40
  or help provide the hunting experience.
• 1:10:43
  So these things are important to us.
• 1:10:46
  It's one of the few times I were actually get out and about other
• 1:10:50
  than my beautiful Husky appeared at my door a couple years ago
• 1:10:55
  and I get to take her out on the trail about 1/4 mile to a mile
• 1:11:01
  every day, so that's good. I live next door to the National
• 1:11:05
  Forest. That's a blessing.
• 1:11:08
  Yeah, that's and she's a wonderful dog.
• 1:11:11
  She's just a really wonderful dog.
• 1:11:13
  Great. A great hunting companion as
• 1:11:14
  well. She is.
• 1:11:16
  She's a sweetheart and she never used to track, but when I took
• 1:11:23
  her hunting, I started showing her that's a deer.
• 1:11:26
  Then I showed her how tasty a deer was.
• 1:11:30
  Same thing with a Turkey. I let her smell it.
• 1:11:32
  Now when we go out, if she comes across a track, whether it Now
• 1:11:38
  the scary thing is she comes across moose tracks and she
• 1:11:40
  wants to chase them and that's not good.
• 1:11:43
  But when it comes to Turkey and all, she will pick up the scent
• 1:11:46
  in the wind, pick up the tracks and yeah, she wants to hunt more
• 1:11:50
  than I do. Awesome.
• 1:11:52
  And aren't you currently writing three books?
• 1:11:55
  Is that, is that true? Yes.
• 1:11:57
  Yes, it's, it's been a long process, but I obtained a new
• 1:12:03
  laptop for Christmas. It was given to me, which was
• 1:12:06
  great because my other one was was crashing on me.
• 1:12:09
  And so I've got all my notes. And now I'm in the process of
• 1:12:13
  compiling those notes, assembling them into chapters,
• 1:12:18
  editing them and having them make sense.
• 1:12:21
  And it's, it's not a matter of just offering a book, but it's,
• 1:12:27
  as we know, being in the Rockies, these mountains are a
• 1:12:30
  serious place. Even on the Front Range, we've
• 1:12:33
  got a serious place. We've got serious weather in the
• 1:12:37
  springtime. Everybody throughout most of the
• 1:12:40
  United States has got their flowers blooming, their lawn
• 1:12:43
  screen. They're mowing their lawns here.
• 1:12:45
  We're still getting dumped with several feet of snow avalanches.
• 1:12:49
  And the state has a history of people going out in our
• 1:12:54
  mountains and not coming back home.
• 1:12:56
  And even today, every year we lose quite a few people up on
• 1:13:02
  these mountains. So my book explains to people,
• 1:13:06
  since so many are wanting to come out and experience the
• 1:13:09
  Rockies and experience hunting, and we do have a lot to offer
• 1:13:14
  here. We've got millions and millions
• 1:13:16
  of acres of National Forest and public lands.
• 1:13:19
  They need to know before they come out here from wetlands what
• 1:13:24
  it's like, what to be prepared, what to have in their pack, what
• 1:13:28
  to experience. You're not just going to jump in
• 1:13:30
  a vehicle and go off road or 4 wheel drive.
• 1:13:33
  Roads were made back in previous wars and to give people
• 1:13:41
  employment during the depression.
• 1:13:43
  And these roads get muddy, they get icy, cell phones fail,
• 1:13:49
  batteries die. So people just need to be aware
• 1:13:55
  and acknowledge both the the conditions that we have and be
• 1:14:00
  prepared for it. The old Boy Scout motto, be
• 1:14:03
  prepared. And so the the book's going to
• 1:14:08
  contain a lot of that information as well as the
• 1:14:11
  habits of both mule deer, elk and Turkey.
• 1:14:16
  And that's where a new book may be coming along as well.
• 1:14:20
  It's just a short little notebook on our Miriam turkeys
• 1:14:23
  in Colorado and the Rocky Mountains guys.
• 1:14:25
  Again, they act differently than Turkey Shroud the rest of the
• 1:14:28
  United States. So just trying to help people
• 1:14:31
  out. Well, yeah, I mean, you're very
• 1:14:34
  experienced, Hunter. There's there's no no denying
• 1:14:36
  that. I mean, you've been since I've
• 1:14:38
  known you. I mean, you've just been
• 1:14:39
  cleaning the house. It's like every every year.
• 1:14:41
  This guy feels almost every tag he.
• 1:14:44
  He puts in for so I've been. Very fortunate.
• 1:14:49
  I, I, I will say that and, and it's one of the things that
• 1:14:55
  helps my body and keeps me around is natural game meat.
• 1:15:01
  You know, there's never a recall on natural game.
• 1:15:03
  There's never hormones put into them, antibiotics and I already
• 1:15:08
  have enough medications in me on a daily basis that I don't need
• 1:15:13
  ones from bovines or, or chickens and and so on and so
• 1:15:17
  forth. So and I enjoy going out hunting
• 1:15:20
  with you feet and sharing the experience with you.
• 1:15:22
  It's me. As well.
• 1:15:24
  Yeah, we've. Been having a good time out
• 1:15:25
  there, even though the other day that Turkey answered us
• 1:15:29
  immediately on the first call but refused to show himself.
• 1:15:33
  Yeah. Yeah, a little bit of a let
• 1:15:36
  down, but it was still a great time and I I enjoy going out
• 1:15:39
  there with you and learning. So when you when you what made
• 1:15:44
  you decide to write these books? Was it because of just personal
• 1:15:48
  experiences that you have that you, you know, 'cause I know
• 1:15:51
  you've shared with me as an EMT, there were times that you had to
• 1:15:54
  go rescue people that were lost in the mountains or, or, or, or
• 1:16:00
  what have you. So was that kind of what
• 1:16:02
  prompted this personal experiences?
• 1:16:06
  Yes, yes. You know, back in my EMT days, I
• 1:16:10
  started becoming involved with search and rescues and again,
• 1:16:16
  and nobody seems to get injured or lost on a sunny nice day.
• 1:16:21
  You know, it's always in extreme condition.
• 1:16:23
  So I had experiences there, knowledge there.
• 1:16:26
  I've been blessed with a, a lifetime of just an incredible
• 1:16:31
  meeting people and experiences. I started when I first came to
• 1:16:34
  Colorado, being an intern at the Denver Museum of Natural History
• 1:16:41
  under Kent Olberg, the famous wildlife sculptor.
• 1:16:47
  And I got to work behind the scenes doing their African
• 1:16:52
  exhibit with Kent, learned sculpting, learned about
• 1:16:55
  animals. Went to work after that for the
• 1:16:58
  original Jonas Brothers at 10th and Broadway.
• 1:17:01
  Met a lot of hunters, a lot of his experience Safari Club
• 1:17:04
  International members and you know that I just had the
• 1:17:09
  interest and so I've how long my life I've gained a lot of
• 1:17:17
  knowledge and years ago a mentor of mine who's now passed Frank
• 1:17:22
  Aveeno, he had encouraged me. He said, you know, you need to
• 1:17:26
  write books you you've got a lot to share.
• 1:17:29
  People need this. And Frank had authored many
• 1:17:33
  books and I had been around him watching him.
• 1:17:37
  I got the opportunity to ask him about how to do it.
• 1:17:41
  Then. His trick back then was little
• 1:17:44
  milk cards, and every time an idea would come, jot it down on
• 1:17:49
  a note card. Well, now we're in the digital
• 1:17:52
  age. I use digital notes and I jot it
• 1:17:56
  down. If I help somebody online and
• 1:17:58
  give him some information, I jot that information down and that
• 1:18:02
  way I assemble it and that gives me the basis of the book.
• 1:18:06
  So doing the books is mainly to share.
• 1:18:10
  I've been blessed. With those opportunities and I
• 1:18:14
  would like to give them to other people for them to be blessed
• 1:18:18
  with them. As we share knowledge, life
• 1:18:22
  becomes better for those that want to partake in that
• 1:18:25
  knowledge. We've got a lot to give back no
• 1:18:29
  matter what it is. With me it's trying to.
• 1:18:36
  Well, there, there you have it. There you go.
• 1:18:39
  That that's just that's somebody on TikTok sharing the live.
• 1:18:42
  That's all that is, no? OK, that's wondering where that
• 1:18:47
  came out of, but yeah, I know I say try to write the book.
• 1:18:51
  So I'll I'll say this. Writing books is not the most
• 1:18:56
  simple thing to do. Your mind gets distracted, your
• 1:18:59
  mind goes off and wanders. You just like what I'm speaking
• 1:19:03
  at today. You just keep going and going
• 1:19:05
  and going. And then you've got to go back
• 1:19:07
  and edit that down for what's the important part.
• 1:19:11
  So it's, it's a new experience for me and it's been taking
• 1:19:16
  time, but it's a, it's a healthy experience too.
• 1:19:18
  And you get to, you know, while I'm doing it, reflect back on a
• 1:19:21
  lot of good times in life and. And that's.
• 1:19:25
  Important for all of us, especially as veterans, you guys
• 1:19:29
  know it. It's the experience that we live
• 1:19:32
  upon every day that keep us going forward instead of looking
• 1:19:37
  back and just dwelling on experiences that we might not
• 1:19:44
  want to remember. I know I've got a lot of those
• 1:19:48
  even in as a first responder, most of I was speaking to a
• 1:19:53
  Vietnam veteran yesterday while I was out shopping.
• 1:19:57
  And, you know, he was surprised to realize that I've been in
• 1:20:04
  urban combat and have been shot at more times than I really care
• 1:20:08
  to remember. Nowadays, we give all our first
• 1:20:12
  responders fire, ambulance, Kevlar vests.
• 1:20:20
  The the world has changed. So, you know, they're, they're
• 1:20:24
  those kind of things you don't really want to think about, You
• 1:20:27
  know, they, they happen. And that's why writing these
• 1:20:32
  books and giving something to somebody that's healthy, good,
• 1:20:38
  that can keep them safe as well as keep them productive and have
• 1:20:42
  a good hunt. Yeah, it's awesome.
• 1:20:46
  And you know. I was thinking.
• 1:20:48
  About it as you were talking and I was thinking you know that's a
• 1:20:52
  good thing and and and why not be a part of that.
• 1:20:55
  So you know, that's why we decided this year 2025 MBR was
• 1:21:00
  going to start including. 1st. Responders, because we feel here
• 1:21:06
  at MBR that you guys don't get your fair share either, or you
• 1:21:11
  get your or your kudos as much as you should, unsung heroes, if
• 1:21:17
  you will, that deserve recognition, that deserve
• 1:21:20
  resources, that deserve, you know, the opportunity to do
• 1:21:26
  things. So we've made a concerted effort
• 1:21:28
  this year to include first responders at MBR and to bring
• 1:21:33
  you into our family. So thank you again for being
• 1:21:36
  here today. Well, you're welcome and thank
• 1:21:38
  you gentlemen for for doing that because you are right.
• 1:21:42
  I mean, there are, there are a few programs out there for first
• 1:21:45
  responders and there's a lot of programs out there that don't
• 1:21:52
  take on 1st responders. And you know, there's good
• 1:21:56
  reasons for for all of it. But any group like your own that
• 1:22:01
  that does include us, that's a benefit because a lot of times
• 1:22:07
  are are spent at home unable to get out the door and do things.
• 1:22:12
  And as far as resources, you know, sometimes just the
• 1:22:16
  knowledge of resources that are out there and trying to be aware
• 1:22:21
  of those becomes difficult. So I certainly appreciate the
• 1:22:25
  help you're doing for for everybody.
• 1:22:28
  It's it's important work And, you know, I'm glad that you guys
• 1:22:33
  do it. And present day, we've been
• 1:22:35
  friends since the the very first day we met seemed just kind of
• 1:22:40
  natural and organic and and I appreciate, you know, knowing
• 1:22:45
  you and as well learning a lot from you as well.
• 1:22:50
  And so that's a great thing. Yeah.
• 1:22:52
  Excuse me, sky crossover, stop sky, the electrical lines.
• 1:23:00
  And that would not go good. So, yeah, 'cause I know that
• 1:23:05
  you've you've shared some frustration with the amount of
• 1:23:08
  just nonprofit hunting organizations that don't include
• 1:23:12
  first responders. I know it's been kind of a hit
• 1:23:15
  and miss for you. Yeah, it seems, I know I don't
• 1:23:19
  know the exact percentages or, or whatnot, but you know, and,
• 1:23:24
  and, and, and not to get me wrong, veterans definitely
• 1:23:28
  deserve a lot of respect and a lot of programs.
• 1:23:31
  And, you know, we're, we're losing people every day.
• 1:23:35
  And if we can get them out in the fields and get them enjoying
• 1:23:39
  things and seeing things differently, we might be able to
• 1:23:42
  keep those people around longer. But yeah, that I would the vast
• 1:23:48
  majority of veteran hunting groups don't include first
• 1:23:52
  responders. And it just is what it is a a
• 1:23:56
  nonprofit. I respect every nonprofit out
• 1:24:01
  there, that organization And then they've got to set their
• 1:24:03
  parameters and what their monetary basis and what they can
• 1:24:08
  do. But any group and, and a lot of
• 1:24:13
  times perhaps they're just haven't thought about it.
• 1:24:17
  And really, you know, our, our, our focus because we've got so
• 1:24:21
  many veterans that, you know, that really need the buddy
• 1:24:26
  system and, and activities and, and getting out there and
• 1:24:31
  experienced seeing the camaraderie, you know, so a lot
• 1:24:36
  of them just might not be aware of that.
• 1:24:37
  Yeah, there's some of us first responders out there.
• 1:24:40
  And like I said, millions of first responders and no matter
• 1:24:46
  what, every single first responder that's been out there
• 1:24:51
  is dealing with some form of PTSD.
• 1:24:54
  Most. Definitely, Yeah, most
• 1:24:56
  definitely. And now large, didn't you?
• 1:24:59
  I mean, because I, as I said earlier, you wear many hats.
• 1:25:01
  You have a lot of experiences, have rubbed elbows with some big
• 1:25:06
  wigs in in the past. And are you currently working on
• 1:25:09
  a didn't you tell me you're working on an exoskeleton,
• 1:25:13
  Patton or something like that? You.
• 1:25:15
  Yeah. Yeah, I need to, I, I need to
• 1:25:18
  partner up with some people with big pockets and connections.
• 1:25:24
  Back in my day when I was in the film industry, there'd be a lot
• 1:25:29
  of cocktail parties and I was in Dallas area at the time.
• 1:25:37
  Then you go to those parties and, and the, the type of people
• 1:25:40
  that would be there, you would just start talking about
• 1:25:42
  something. And the next thing you know,
• 1:25:44
  you're paired up with lawyers. You're and, and you're, you're
• 1:25:47
  getting contracts written and programs written and so forth
• 1:25:55
  and, and getting them moving ahead.
• 1:25:57
  These days I'm out of that loop. And of course circles of
• 1:25:59
  influence matter because who we're surrounded by is what can
• 1:26:04
  happen. And this ectoskeleton is
• 1:26:07
  something of course I really can't discuss the because of
• 1:26:11
  trade secret and what not all the particulars.
• 1:26:14
  But it's something that could help every single person that
• 1:26:20
  lives in extreme pain and agony, the paraplegic and the
• 1:26:23
  quadriplegics and the people of missing limbs.
• 1:26:27
  And with smart technology that we have today and
• 1:26:33
  nanotechnology, microchips, I mean, we're wearing telephones
• 1:26:37
  and computers on our wrists and, and now even on rings that
• 1:26:41
  record data. With all that data being
• 1:26:43
  recorded and all that smart technology, we could do a lot to
• 1:26:48
  help the human body that's suffering.
• 1:26:52
  And with carbon fiber being lightweight and 3D technology
• 1:26:58
  and laser scanning, but we can adapt this for every single
• 1:27:02
  individual by just putting them into one of these laser booths.
• 1:27:07
  And hospitals can have these laser booths.
• 1:27:10
  So I mean, hospitals have amazing equipment and we could
• 1:27:13
  go inside the body and look at your organ and move it around on
• 1:27:17
  a gimbal and 3D and look inside of it, you know, and, and that's
• 1:27:23
  done through MRI technologies and and CAT scans.
• 1:27:26
  So you know. Violated.
• 1:27:29
  Yeah, you know, it's so, yeah, I'm working on that.
• 1:27:32
  And I, I really need, need some people.
• 1:27:34
  And I'm, I'm really looking for some celebrity background in it
• 1:27:40
  because I know that that's where I knew that aspect of my life
• 1:27:45
  had opened doors back then, you know, and it just, it gets you
• 1:27:50
  to meet the people and, and there's some brilliant minds out
• 1:27:53
  there. There's people with a lot of
• 1:27:55
  money. I found out in my lifetime,
• 1:27:58
  money is just zeros. Some people think about $100 and
• 1:28:04
  some people think about a million and other people think
• 1:28:07
  about a billion. And the only thing different
• 1:28:09
  with all those numbers are zeros.
• 1:28:12
  All of us are the same people, you know, saying, well, they're
• 1:28:16
  really talented. We all have talents It it's just
• 1:28:20
  that the only thing different is the zeros and, and how we trap
• 1:28:25
  our mind into it or not. And those people that have a lot
• 1:28:28
  of zeros in their bank account are the type of people that look
• 1:28:32
  for an investment and and something like this is an
• 1:28:36
  investment financially for them. I'm.
• 1:28:41
  Yeah, betterment of society. I mean, that's that's a win win.
• 1:28:45
  Well, well. That's it for me.
• 1:28:46
  It's a betterment of society and again, it's giving back and it I
• 1:28:50
  mean, I again, we all have something.
• 1:28:53
  Personally, in my life, I live in 24/7 agony and there's no
• 1:29:00
  medication that takes away from that.
• 1:29:03
  Medication helps. I live in the mountains.
• 1:29:07
  I'm Yeah, it's all. It's all temporary relief.
• 1:29:10
  I I'm right there with you, you know, and, and and and trying to
• 1:29:13
  find, you know, something else that works.
• 1:29:15
  But you know, and, and, and maybe we can tap into that large
• 1:29:18
  because I know you've talked about getting sponsorships for
• 1:29:21
  other nonprofits. So maybe we can talk more about
• 1:29:24
  that and get MBR little assistance there.
• 1:29:26
  Joe Joe's half asleep over here. So no, I'm.
• 1:29:29
  Not half asleep, I'm listening. But yeah, we'll, we'll, we'll
• 1:29:32
  look into it and we'll see where we can, you know, compose and
• 1:29:36
  stuff. Ours has a lot of contact, so
• 1:29:38
  OK, he's got a lot of a lot of yeah.
• 1:29:41
  Yeah, we need to to have further meetings and, and discussions
• 1:29:45
  and what that and, you know, 'cause I, if I can be of
• 1:29:49
  assistance to you folks, I would certainly like to put the, you
• 1:29:53
  know, you together with people that are looking for a place.
• 1:29:57
  You know, I mean, these days there's a lot of grants.
• 1:30:01
  Of course, we're going into a recession.
• 1:30:03
  It seems things have changed. But again, even during
• 1:30:06
  recessions, things still keep moving.
• 1:30:09
  And for people like you and I, yeah, it kind of hurts our
• 1:30:13
  wallet and maybe shopping and our groceries and all change for
• 1:30:17
  other people on the financial level when we're in a recession,
• 1:30:20
  that's when they're looking for the next innovation.
• 1:30:23
  And, and again, I'm not looking for profit.
• 1:30:26
  I'm looking for something. I know that this ectoskeleton is
• 1:30:29
  something that my body could use, but.
• 1:30:33
  You can. Totally help us because right
• 1:30:34
  now V is O for five and I'm O for two in grant.
• 1:30:37
  So we, we, we, we can take all the help that we can get.
• 1:30:41
  Lars, let me tell you well. Well, that's it, you know, and
• 1:30:46
  then you know, hopefully we can do that.
• 1:30:48
  And I know that one thing we have and perhaps some of the the
• 1:30:53
  the folks you're listening to right now.
• 1:30:55
  I know that our Denver Broncos and have been very active
• 1:31:01
  throughout history of looking for places to put grant money in
• 1:31:08
  for, for good causes. I know for Vincent's Von Miller,
• 1:31:14
  his aspect is he grew up needing eyeglasses as a child who
• 1:31:18
  couldn't afford them. So every year he gets back for
• 1:31:24
  for that. And so maybe some of those
• 1:31:27
  people will hear this and, and contact you all and, and help
• 1:31:32
  out. And, and I'm just pointing them
• 1:31:34
  out as one. You know, we've got the ABS,
• 1:31:37
  we've got the Rockies, you know, we've got a lot of business
• 1:31:40
  people and yeah. Pretty much if you look into any
• 1:31:44
  professional athlete, like they have some kind of connection
• 1:31:48
  with some kind of non profit. If if either they're a
• 1:31:51
  spokesperson or it's their non profit, they they have something
• 1:31:56
  to do with it. You're exactly right on that.
• 1:31:58
  Yeah, yeah, certainly. I mean, we all, you know, we, we
• 1:32:02
  all, when we reflect back on our lives, we, we should feel
• 1:32:05
  blessed on, on what's been given us.
• 1:32:07
  And with, with those people that get to play National Football
• 1:32:13
  professionally, something that they grew up like you and I
• 1:32:16
  probably threw ball together growing up, you know, and, and
• 1:32:20
  it was fun. It was fun to go out and play.
• 1:32:22
  And these folks have played and had an opportunity to
• 1:32:28
  professionally earn a lot of income while playing.
• 1:32:32
  Now, I don't know, kidding aside, you know, their bodies
• 1:32:37
  take a lot of abuse to professional leagues or are are
• 1:32:41
  are intense. But when they when they get a
• 1:32:43
  chance to sign on, they feel blessed and they want to give
• 1:32:46
  back. And, you know, giving back.
• 1:32:49
  I know you guys know giving back feels so good.
• 1:32:56
  It keeps us going and it's what we look forward to.
• 1:32:59
  And you know, so yeah, you know anybody listening to this that
• 1:33:04
  would like to your great organization to to get a hold
• 1:33:08
  of. Well, thanks so much, Les.
• 1:33:11
  This has been awesome. We really appreciate the time
• 1:33:13
  you've taken. So we've reached our final
• 1:33:14
  segment right and. It is the time to shine.
• 1:33:19
  Today's Time to Shine is brought to you by Dunkin' Donuts
• 1:33:24
  veterans and 1st Responders runs on Dunkin.
• 1:33:30
  This is the time. To shine, believe.
• 1:33:34
  Me, it is the time to shine. Right large.
• 1:33:38
  So time to shine is to talk about something that we didn't
• 1:33:41
  cover or something that you you had on your mind that you want
• 1:33:44
  to cover. This is your time to shine.
• 1:33:48
  Huh. Yeah, threw me for a loop on
• 1:33:51
  that one. But we didn't.
• 1:33:53
  Even cover, we kind of covered a lot of bases.
• 1:33:58
  So, you know, large, do you have any like social media handles
• 1:34:02
  that you can say offhand that people can follow your your
• 1:34:06
  journey that you have? Well, I, I I don't really have
• 1:34:11
  that story out there. I I know one thing I I could use
• 1:34:15
  some help. I had started a website years
• 1:34:17
  ago called wildlifespirits.com and when I transferred it from
• 1:34:23
  servers years ago everything stopped working.
• 1:34:27
  As far as the the image is my haywire, Yeah.
• 1:34:31
  And of course, all the pictures are obsolete because digital age
• 1:34:34
  has grown and resolution has grown.
• 1:34:37
  But it was there to, you know, to just get a lot of photographs
• 1:34:40
  to educate, you know, students and what not to have for doing
• 1:34:44
  reports and information and and look about wildlife.
• 1:34:49
  So there's that. And then Lars Wyka, I'm on
• 1:34:52
  Facebook, you know, and I can have quite a mouthpiece with
• 1:34:56
  that. I could be quite controversial
• 1:35:00
  because I get in the face of power and I, I speak it as I see
• 1:35:06
  it. I don't know, we speak it the
• 1:35:08
  way, you know, that it's going to answer questions or anything
• 1:35:12
  like that. But when I see something wrong,
• 1:35:14
  I generally don't sit back. I generally get out and talk
• 1:35:18
  about it. That's a good thing that we need
• 1:35:21
  more of that in America. We really do.
• 1:35:23
  We really do. Well, Lars, this has been
• 1:35:25
  awesome, man. Thanks so much for joining us
• 1:35:26

• 1:35:59
  He schedules all of our interviews.
• 1:36:02
  That was a good one. And you know, he was just
• 1:36:04
  telling me the other day, he's like, man, he was like, they
• 1:36:06
  reach out to the manager, but they don't reach out to me.
• 1:36:10
  So everybody, it's v ^2 at MB Radio dot US.
• 1:36:16
  So if you know. And it helps if if I check my.
• 1:36:22

  That too. All right.
• 1:36:24
  Hey, so we're going to go on a music.
• 1:36:28
  Well, you know, instead of going on music break, we'll just go to
• 1:36:32
  the tribute to the troops. It might be it, it might be a
• 1:36:36
  rerun, but that's OK. We're we're still going to do
• 1:36:39
  the tribute. And when we come back, it will
• 1:36:42

  by a statement indicating that the service member is not
• 1:37:25
  present and accounted for, signifying their death.
• 1:37:29
  The final roll call serves as a symbolic gesture to respect and
• 1:37:32
  remember their service. Sir, I don't.

  I don't know how. To tell the story.
• 1:37:44

• 1:45:22
  Before we get out of here, though, the last 15 minutes, you
• 1:45:26
  know, I wanted to give my, my, my viral weather report.
• 1:45:34
  I don't know why, but that barrel last last week.
• 1:45:37
  But so today here in Colorado, it's partly sunny.
• 1:45:43
  So, you know, the Today is definitely a good day to go out
• 1:45:47
  on the bike. Saturday, it's going to be
• 1:45:50
  slush, slush mixed with clouds and comfortable.
• 1:45:54
  And then Sunday, I'm telling you right now, I'm telling you right
• 1:45:58
  now is there, it's going to snow without prediction on Saturday
• 1:46:02
  or it's going to snow on Sunday. There's a reason why they say in
• 1:46:06
  Colorado don't plan anything until after Mother's Day.
• 1:46:09
  Yeah. And you know my our interview,
• 1:46:11
  the week Lars Waika, he told me every four day window before or
• 1:46:17
  after Mother's Day, always some kind of weather event.
• 1:46:19
  Yeah. Always, Yeah.
• 1:46:21
  And I'm like. Yeah, never realized so if.
• 1:46:23
  Nothing changes but it says. Anyone and if.
• 1:46:27
  Nothing changes right now. It's supposed to be a beautiful
• 1:46:30
  weekend, especially for the whole week.
• 1:46:32
  I mean, yeah. And And what better way to
• 1:46:36

  with seatings at 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM.

  I've never been to the. Maven Hotel.
• 1:47:20
  I don't even know where that's at, but well.
• 1:47:22
  So this this right here, this is the Denver Art Museum.
• 1:47:27
  No, but I. Know, but I was talking about oh
• 1:47:29
  OK. I I don't even know where the
• 1:47:31
  Marvin Hotel is. To be honest with.
• 1:47:34
  You, you know, I feel like I, I, I don't know.
• 1:47:37
  Either, but this is the Maven Hotel.

  Great Divide Barrel Bar hosting A2 Day market featuring baby
• 1:48:01
  goat yoga, artisan vendors, massages and food trucks.
• 1:48:05
  Have you have you heard about that baby goat yoga?
• 1:48:07
  I mean, no, I've. Done it before.
• 1:48:10
  It's really weird, like you just do the yoga and the goats like
• 1:48:13
  climb on your back and they'll come around and just like hang
• 1:48:17
  out with you while you do yoga. It's it's kind of a weird
• 1:48:20
  experience. I don't want to.
• 1:48:21
  Be a weird experience if it came up and started licking my crack
• 1:48:24
  while I was trying to do yoga right?
• 1:48:26
  Well, there's AI, can't remember what state it's in, but there's
• 1:48:28
  a don't wear a loose fitting pants.
• 1:48:30
  They're going to slide down like right.
• 1:48:33
  I want to say Utah. There's a golf course that has
• 1:48:36
  goat caddies. So you say.
• 1:48:39
  Utah. That explains everything right
• 1:48:41
  there, I think. It's Utah.
• 1:48:42
  I'm not sure, but I saw there's an article in the latest golf
• 1:48:46
  magazine that talks about it, that they have these golf
• 1:48:50
  caddies that are goats. So entertainment activities.
• 1:48:54
  The hockey club got a name? Yeah.
• 1:48:56
  What is it? Hockey club?
• 1:48:57
  They're they going to be the Utah Mammoth I heard.
• 1:49:00
  About that Mammoth. Not not Mammoths, but Mammoth
• 1:49:05
  lacrosse team. Name.
• 1:49:06
  Yeah. So, yeah, right.
• 1:49:08
  Utah Denver Fashion Week is I I still think that Utah profits
• 1:49:12
  would have been gas, fire, flames.
• 1:49:15
  I hear you, I hear you. So entertainment this week
• 1:49:18
  showcasing sustainable and resort wear collections at the
• 1:49:21
  Denver Fashion Week Red Rocks Amphitheatre featuring
• 1:49:24
  performances by the Turnpike Troubadours Denver Mother's Day
• 1:49:31
  5 KA family friendly race celebrating moms at Wash Park
• 1:49:34
  Home tour Explore beautiful homes in Washington Park Company
• 1:49:37
  by a street fair Yeah kind. Of and that that concert that
• 1:49:41
  you was planning on going to tonight maybe you can find some
• 1:49:45
  local listeners so I got. An e-mail late last night from
• 1:49:48
  Vet Ticks. And Kenny Wayne Shepherd is one
• 1:49:51
  of my favorite artists. He's he's in town tonight at the
• 1:49:55
  Paramount Theatre. And dude, I got 2 tickets for 13
• 1:49:58
  bucks. So it's like, and I can't find
• 1:50:00
  any schmuck to go. So, you know, I'll figure it
• 1:50:06
  out. Figure it out.
• 1:50:06
  But yeah. So, yeah.
• 1:50:08
  So Katie Wayne Shepherd tonight at the Paramount Theatre should
• 1:50:11
  be a good show. There you go.
• 1:50:14
  You know the only thing that I hate about going to those
• 1:50:17
  concerts as you can never find parking.
• 1:50:20
  Yeah. That's, that's I, I, I thought
• 1:50:22
  about if I go by myself, I'm going to ride my motorcycle.
• 1:50:25
  Oh. Most definitely.
• 1:50:26
  I would ride your motorcycle regardless.
• 1:50:28
  Yeah. Because then I can find parking
• 1:50:30
  no problem. Yeah, but but yeah, it's just, I
• 1:50:33
  was thinking that too. I was like, man, downtown, I
• 1:50:35
  hate downtown venues. It just sucks.
• 1:50:38
  The nice thing? About a motorcycle, a lot of
• 1:50:40
  people don't talk about that, but like, you know, if, if
• 1:50:44
  there's like no parking, a handicap or anything, you can
• 1:50:48
  literally park that motorcycle like on the sidewalk.
• 1:50:52
  They won't even give you a ticket for that.
• 1:50:54
  They'd rather give you a ticket if if you're parked somewhere
• 1:50:58
  weird and you don't have like a handicap placard or something
• 1:51:02
  up, but they won't. They won't give you a ticket if
• 1:51:05
  well, at least that's my experience because you can find
• 1:51:10
  a parking space anywhere with a trike.
• 1:51:13
  Yeah. You can.
• 1:51:15
  Always squeeze in somewhere, that's for sure, yeah.
• 1:51:17
  Most definitely. And then last but not least,
• 1:51:22
  like like the boys covered it early.
• 1:51:25
  You know, there's, there's like there's some rocky games come
• 1:51:29
  coming over on the weekend as well.
• 1:51:33
  Man's gone to the game, Yeah. Aren't your game, man.
• 1:51:35
  Yeah, They're playing the Padres, so yeah.
• 1:51:37
  They're they're going. To get killed, they're going to
• 1:51:40
  get creamed. It doesn't matter.
• 1:51:42
  Who the Rockies playing they get killed them regardless.
• 1:51:44
  You got a couple of. Padres on my fantasy baseball
• 1:51:47
  team, so they're going to be scoring a lot of points for me
• 1:51:49
  most likely. I might put a bet Fernando Tatis
• 1:51:53
  RB a couple RBIs from him or something.
• 1:51:55
  Michael King might throw another no hitter against the fucking
• 1:51:59
  rocks. I bet Rockies are the the the
• 1:52:02
  most popular team to bet against on to hate.
• 1:52:06
  Yeah, I mean, you can't if you win in Batman 6.
• 1:52:08
  And 30. You can bet against the Rockies
• 1:52:10
  and feel fine, yeah. I mean the.
• 1:52:13
  Odds, though, betting against them probably don't pay out a
• 1:52:16
  lot because like, I mean, yeah, we all know it's well, yeah, you
• 1:52:20
  definitely. Have to have the money to be
• 1:52:22
  able to make the bets, but yeah. Yeah.
• 1:52:26
  And game three in the NBA playoffs Nuggets against the
• 1:52:30
  Thunder Ballerina 7:00 PM this evening is tip off Yeah if.
• 1:52:34
  The Nuggets can't pull off both the wins while they're here at
• 1:52:38
  the Ball Arena. I we need one.
• 1:52:40
  We need one, we need one. I mean the the game one away
• 1:52:44
  victory was huge. Yeah, that was huge.
• 1:52:47
  Yeah, that was huge. So as long as we just keep on
• 1:52:50
  winning at home, we, we'll, we'll be well.
• 1:52:53
  We have a 5050 chance we saw. How much homecourt affected the
• 1:52:57
  Clippers series, which it really did, honestly, for both teams.
• 1:53:01
  Like no matter where they played.
• 1:53:04
  I think you got to hope. That that comes into effect for
• 1:53:07
  us tonight. This would be another big one,
• 1:53:10
  right? Yeah.
• 1:53:10
  And the fact that we don't have a very deep bench like H, she
• 1:53:14
  was saying earlier if. We if our key.
• 1:53:17
  Players are playing on point man.
• 1:53:18
  We're unstoppable. I mean that seven man rotation
• 1:53:22
  can be dangerous when they're all playing well, but.
• 1:53:25
  It's like. You don't know who's showing up.
• 1:53:28
  And as I always say, as long as the the fans, all of Denver, as
• 1:53:35
  long as we don't hype the team up, they do pretty good hyping
• 1:53:39
  themselves up when you know, hey, we're going to we're going
• 1:53:43
  to take all this show Lamar squirting out of Denver,
• 1:53:46
  Nightmax, screw them. You know they ain't going to
• 1:53:48
  make it past the first round. I'm telling you, those, those
• 1:53:52
  players, they listen. They they do better when they
• 1:53:55
  get shit talk compared to when people hype them up.
• 1:53:59
  That's certainly true. So.
• 1:54:02
  All right, well, before we get out of here, we wanted to thank
• 1:54:06
  DV Radio as one of our sponsors, MO gratitude as one of our
• 1:54:11
  sponsors, you know, and Jersey Mike's and Dunkin' Donuts.
• 1:54:16
  I'm pretty sure we didn't hit the final, the final thought
• 1:54:19
  moment segment, but that's OK. We've, we've been all over the
• 1:54:23

• 1:57:11

  I can't. I'm.
• 1:57:22
  I'm down excited for that one. I'm there for the Buddy Bowl.
• 1:57:25
  I don't. Know if I'd rather watch HG and
• 1:57:28
  and Caveman play it or I would rather watch them analyze it you
• 1:57:34
  know, be an analyst play by play yeah I think they can do both I
• 1:57:38
  think they. Can do both.
• 1:57:40
  Yeah, that, that's going to be interesting if we.
• 1:57:43
  Don't make it to like the for one.
• 1:57:45
  If we. Don't make it to the finals.
• 1:57:47
  We will be put on the broadcasting, but who knows, we
• 1:57:51
  might just dominate. Yeah, you guys might run the run
• 1:57:53
  the table, they might run the table.
• 1:57:55
  So, you know, what I learned is that you can make friends from
• 1:57:59
  all walks of life. You know, Lars and I met at an
• 1:58:02
  event as a pheasant hunt and became fast friends.
• 1:58:06
  And I've learned so much from him and, and, and interesting
• 1:58:10
  stuff, not only about hunting but about life.
• 1:58:12
  And he's a little bit older than I am.
• 1:58:14
  So you know that old saying my dad used to say you can learn
• 1:58:17
  something from everybody. Yeah.
• 1:58:20
  So. Yeah.
• 1:58:20
  And whenever you think that you're like the best in the
• 1:58:23
  world, just remember there's always somebody coming up the
• 1:58:26
  ranks. They they're, they're just not
• 1:58:29
  at that point yet. You can always be beatable and
• 1:58:31
  you can always be replaced. That's.
• 1:58:35
  So true, so true. So you narc narcissistic
• 1:58:38
  bastards out there looking. It's a bit of a pessimistic way
• 1:58:43
  to end the show. But hey everybody, we're glad to
• 1:58:48
