  on America. Well, not only that, but like
• 4:09
  NATO came out two days ago. No, it wasn't two days ago.
• 4:15
  It was on the 14th. NATO came out the general and he
• 4:19
  was letting people know. Right now, normal people, you
• 4:27
  should prepare flashlight radio. He said that you we need at

  You know, I mean, I hate to be doom and gloom, but.
• 5:00
  You're a realist. That's where we're That's where
• 5:03
  we're going. With this right now, the border,
• 5:07
  he's talking about Texas and. Then, oh, he's talking about
• 5:10
  like, they don't even think the election's going to happen.
• 5:13
  They think that Russia is going to invade us like right before.
• 5:18
  This is what I think. I think that there will only be
• 5:21
  a war with Russia if Trump doesn't get elected.
• 5:27
  I think that I think that the it's going to happen.
• 5:32
  I don't I'm I'm just I'm just giving my predictions.
• 5:36
  I It's not facts, so. You're not predicting World War
• 5:39
  3. No, I'm predicting World War
• 5:42
  Three, but I think if Trump gets into office there, it won't be a
• 5:46
  a World War Three. That's what.
• 5:51
  That's what I'm saying, I think. Well you know you know I'm I'm
• 5:56
  my humble opinion is that the stars are aligning.
• 6:00
  I mean, Biden in his, his tirade, not his tirades, but his
• 6:04
  antics and the things that he's doing, you know, he they're just
• 6:10
  making it easier for him to get back in office.
• 6:12
  You know, people are tired of of idiocy and the, and I mean, no
• 6:17
  offence to our president, but I'm just telling you what people
• 6:21
  are saying. They're they're tired of it.
• 6:22
  They're tired of these, you know, they're ready for a change
• 6:27
  already. I mean, they can't get this guy
• 6:29
  out fast enough, you know? And I know he's got a re
• 6:32
  election campaign, but good luck with that, dude.
• 6:34
  Save your money. I know.
• 6:38
  Well, I mean. Hardly even worked last time.
• 6:41
  Well, every everybody has dropped out of the race except
• 6:45
  that Nikki Haley and Trump. Like I said, I, you know, we're
• 6:51
  not real political, but I'm just telling everybody that's
• 6:54
  listening to this be vigilant, you know?
• 6:59
  You know, and I was telling my wife this the other day because
• 7:02
  we were talking about, like, if we ever had kids, if we'd ever
• 7:05
  let them go in the military. Guess what?
• 7:09
  You don't have to have your kids go in the military now because
• 7:12
  the fight's coming to us on the US soil.
• 7:15
  In fact, they just came out. I don't know if you knew this,
• 7:19
  and this is confirmed because we called.
• 7:21
  I called and made sure guess what the new qualifications for
• 7:26
  going into the Navy is now. They just changed it Tuesday.
• 7:31
  What? You don't have to have a GED or
• 7:34
  a diploma. You just have to score 50 or
• 7:36
  above on the asfab. So if that's not writing on the
• 7:39
  wall, I'm not sure what is. Yeah, and that's the Navy.
• 7:42
  I mean, that's always and the other one's going to follow
• 7:44
  suit. So that's always a key
• 7:46
  indicator. We need people.
• 7:48
  We need personnel. Well, you know, it's funny.
• 7:51
  It's funny because when I was going on when I was going on
• 7:54
  TikTok. You sure it wasn't the army?
• 7:58
  Ouch. No.
• 8:00
  So when I was going on TikTok, I saw this video of of Putin, you
• 8:05
  know, talking and stuff. And I I wrote, I wrote to a
• 8:10
  friend of mine. I'm like, dude, look at the
• 8:11
  comments, man. I looked at the Commons and wow,
• 8:16
  I mean, as a society, like we, we are scared.
• 8:20
  You know, they're talking about, oh, you know, Putin, you know,
• 8:25
  that's our government, we, we, we stand with you and blah,
• 8:27
  blah. And I'm like, are you, are you
• 8:29
  are you serious? You know, Putin's still a
• 8:32
  politician, just like Biden, just like Trump, just like
• 8:36
  Obama, just like all of them. And they're going to say
• 8:40
  whatever they need to say to get you on their side.
• 8:46
  Pretty much. Yeah, you know you have to look
• 8:49
  at their past and that's just it's just it's just amazing to
• 8:54
  me. It it really is amazing to me
• 8:57
  that where where we are where we are, you know it it really is
• 9:04
  and then I guess the the caucus or whatever that happened in New
• 9:09
  Hampshire I guess that was the light lowest attendance ever
• 9:13
  you. Mean the caucus.
• 9:15
  Yeah, it was like the lowest, lowest in numbers.
• 9:22
  And like I said, and if you didn't already know, the the
• 9:29
  stand with Texas, with the border, with the opening border,
• 9:34
  now there's 25 states standing with Texas.
• 9:37
  It's not just. Well, yeah, if you're letting
• 9:39
  lunatics like that, trying to get in.
• 9:40
  And who? Who wouldn't?
• 9:41
  Well, you. Know well, I mean getting.
• 9:43
  Behind, you know, closing our borders.
• 9:45
  On Biden, put out an effort to like, you know, to to sue Texas.
• 9:50
  Hey, you can't. You can't do that.
• 9:51
  And it's like, dudes, Seriously. Anyways, also, other news.
• 9:58
  Taylor Swift is doing a lawsuit against AI.
• 10:03
  If you haven't seen it, it's a nice little photo that's
• 10:07
  circulating through the Internet with it's Travis Kelsey and
• 10:13
  she's in like a hospital bed with a with a black baby, which
• 10:19
  I don't really understand the picture, but I mean, I've seen a
• 10:24
  bunch of them. They had one with.
• 10:28
  They had one with Holmes kissing a referee.
• 10:32
  They had one with the trade. What was it you mean?
• 10:39
  Mahomes. Yeah, Mahomes, they had one with
• 10:43
  him kissing the referee. They had one with him kissing
• 10:46
  Taylor Swift. I've always thought, I always
• 10:48
  thought Mahomes was a lot of light in the loafers, but that's
• 10:50
  just me. The way he runs off the field,
• 10:53
  like dude really kind of switching and walking.
• 10:57
  Right. Oh.
• 11:02
  So what else? Cave means cave means looking.
• 11:06
  Yeah, I want to. I want to find.
• 11:07
  That let's continue. All right.
• 11:09
  And then a big bombshell that happened yesterday, which is not
• 11:14
  really that. Surprising, do you?
• 11:15
  Think Vince McMahon and Brock Lesnar.
• 11:18
  It's honestly. Not that surprising are are are
• 11:21
  getting sued for sex trafficking.
• 11:28
  Oh, sexual harassment. I thought, no, that's fixed
• 11:30
  trafficking. That's one charge.
• 11:32
  Yeah. So story is afterwards that
• 11:36
  Vince McMahon tried to traffic the woman to Brock Lesnar.
• 11:39
  Oh. My God, yeah.
• 11:41
  Yeah, what an idiot. And it was like when he was the
• 11:45
  when he was CEO. So it's like Brock Lesnar's
• 11:48
  prime too, pretty much. It's pretty crazy.
• 11:57
  With an interview on a podcast, It was Michael Paul or not?
• 12:06
  Is it Logan Paul? Yeah.
• 12:08
  Logan, Paul. Logan Paul with John Cena.
• 12:12
  And like if you, if you haven't, John Cena and The Rock was in
• 12:18
  the wrestling ring, OK? Look at the article below that.
• 12:22
  That one you just clicked on. That's it.
• 12:25
  Yeah, that one right there. Yeah, so there there was a
• 12:30
  episode on the Raw where John Cena basically called out the
• 12:34
  Rock because he had his promo stuff written on his wrist.
• 12:38
  You can. See it?
• 12:39
  Yeah, on the. Camera.
• 12:41
  So John Cena did something that I was kind of like I was over
• 12:48
  triggered and I'm like wow, you know that takes character.
• 12:51
  John Cena basically said that you know he was knew it was
• 12:58
  unprofessional for him to take a shot at him.
• 13:02
  It was great for the entertainment but because he was
• 13:05
  a a beginner in the industry and and they're.
• 13:10
  All acting. It's just like he.
• 13:11
  Pointed out something that. There we go.
• 13:19
  Well, you know, give. It a SEC to load.
• 13:21
  But it was amazing to to hear his, his character, you know,
• 13:29
  him telling everybody you know and then.
• 13:31
  That's just John Cena. He's like the.
• 13:33
  Paul and then and then Logan. Paul he, you know, he was like,
• 13:37
  well, you know that that's an amateur move.
• 13:39
  And John Cena's like, no, he was like he was kind of an amateur
• 13:42
  move on my. Part.
• 13:43
  So John Cena kind of has the, the reputation as, you know,
• 13:49
  squeaky clean, right? I mean.
• 13:50
  He's, yeah. He's the good guy.
• 13:53
  He did. You know, he's he's a family
• 13:55
  man. Positive role model, yeah.
• 13:57
  That's like his character is all positive.
• 14:00
  He's a pretty, he's a pretty good dude.
• 14:01
  Anyways, he's a good. Dude.
• 14:03
  And he makes some great movies and I love his.
• 14:06
  What What is that? What what E*Trade Is it the
• 14:08
  commercials he makes with the With the Purple Cow?
• 14:11
  Yeah, those are hilarious. Oh man.
• 14:16
  And like I said, if you want to join the conversation, hit us up
• 14:20
  720-619-0627. So there, there's nudity.
• 14:25
  There's nude ones as well. OK, so I guess it makes more.
• 14:29
  Sense. Yeah.
• 14:31
  I can see why she's so. Furious.
• 14:33
  I mean, you know, having the black baby, you know something
• 14:36
  that's not true would be madding or fear infuriating.
• 14:41
  But when you you know, you knew. When you get to the nudie
• 14:43
  cuties, that really stirs the path.
• 14:45
  Hey man, I remember when I saw the nude picture of Drew
• 14:48
  Barrymore. Man, I had that plastered all
• 14:50
  over my computer. I was in heaven.
• 14:52
  That was when I was stationed in Germany.
• 14:54

  So today is what the segment this, this is going to, this is
• 23:51
  going to turn some heads. Ruffle some feathers.
• 23:55
  Yeah, play the video, turning to a story that's gained a lot of
• 23:59
  national attention. We're talking about the man who
• 24:02
  sued his date for texting during a movie.
• 24:05
  Brandon. Jones first spoke.
• 24:07
  With a man earlier this week. And tonight you got a chance to
• 24:10
  speak with a woman at the center of this lawsuit, see what she
• 24:13
  has to say. Yeah, I did.
• 24:14
  You know Mike and Queda, You know, this woman, Crystal Cruz,
• 24:16
  says that this situation has been blown out of proportion.
• 24:20
  She also told us tonight that it's not uncommon for her to
• 24:22
  text. Her friend during a date.
• 24:24
  Just to let her know that she's safe.
• 24:26
  She is looking forward to the day that she can put all of this
• 24:29
  behind her. The past 24 hours has been life
• 24:33
  changing for 35 year old Crystal Cruz.
• 24:36
  I've cried, I've laughed, I've been mad.
• 24:39
  Cruz is being sued for $17.31. Why?
• 24:44
  Well this man, 37 year old Brandon Vesmar, says she ruined
• 24:48
  their date and his movie going experience.
• 24:51
  This is insane. I just couldn't even believe it.
• 24:56
  Vesmar spoke to us Tuesday and now Cruz wants to share her side
• 24:59
  of the story. She says he exaggerated about
• 25:02
  how much she was texting during the movie.
• 25:05
  Cruz says she only sent 3 text messages to her friend and tried
• 25:09
  to be discreet by holding her phone close to her.
• 25:12
  That's when she says things escalated and Vesmar asked her
• 25:16
  to stop. I leaned back over to him and I
• 25:19
  said, well, I'm just going to go.
• 25:21
  But things didn't stop there. Cruz says Vesmar went to great
• 25:24
  lengths to find her on social media.
• 25:27
  He messaged everyone on my Facebook with the last name of
• 25:31
  Cruz. He messaged them to look for me.
• 25:34
  Then a lawsuit was filed. Let me move on with my.
• 25:37
  Life. I'll do whatever it takes.
• 25:39
  And Cruz did just that. I would love to give you your
• 25:42
  $17.31. The two met for the first time
• 25:46
  since the date Thursday on national television.
• 25:49
  Vesmar has agreed to drop the lawsuit and Cruz.
• 25:53
  Well, she says she learned to be more careful dating.
• 25:57
  So again tonight, Vesmar has agreed to drop that lawsuit.
• 26:00
  He also told me that he wants the country to move on to more
• 26:04
  important things. He says his work here.
• 26:06
  Is done. Guys, back to you.
• 26:09
  He did that on purpose. He did that to get on TV or
• 26:14
  something. Yeah, well, you know, most
• 26:17
  people, there's a lot of people that do that, man.
• 26:19
  I mean like they'll they'll. Yeah, I sued Joe last week, I
• 26:24
  mean. That's how that's how those.
• 26:26
  Court shows toilet paper and the shitter.
• 26:28
  That's how those court shows work, right?
• 26:30
  Like you can go on Judge Judy and you can just sue your
• 26:34
  friend. Just come up with a story that's
• 26:36
  good enough to put on TV. They'll do it.
• 26:38
  They. Said.
• 26:38
  We like it. There's a guy on.
• 26:39
  That shit's totally rigged. He's been on multiple episodes
• 26:43
  of multiple different court shows and he's just sued his
• 26:46
  friend and they split the money after the show.
• 26:48
  That's true. It's totally rigged.
• 26:50
  I'm thinking like I might as well just come up with
• 26:52
  something, be an HD, come up with something.
• 26:56
  So check this out. That shit's rigged.
• 26:57
  And this is how I know this rigged.
• 26:59
  So when I was in high school, it was this girl that I was dating,
• 27:04
  OK? And like, she was, she was she
• 27:07
  was pregnant. I didn't know who the father
• 27:09
  was, but I was dating her after she was pregnant.
• 27:14
  And me and her, you know, we were, you know, we were dating
• 27:20
  and and after the baby was made and then next thing I know she
• 27:24
  wasn't at school for couple weeks and I'm like, I don't
• 27:29
  wonder what's going on. Well, then kind of find out her
• 27:33
  stepfather got her pregnant and then yeah, Oh my God.
• 27:39
  And she he got her pregnant by doing like guitar lessons or
• 27:44
  whatever. It it it just happened, you
• 27:46
  know? And then the crazy part is that
• 27:51
  her and her mom came to me and she was like, we want you to go
• 27:57
  on the Maury Show with us. And I'm like, OK, you know?
• 28:02
  And I'm like 16. At the time, I didn't know what
• 28:04
  the hell this stuff was, you know?
• 28:06
  And I told my mom, I'm like, yeah, they want me to go on
• 28:08
  Maury Show. And my mom's like, no, you're
• 28:11
  not doing that, blah, blah, blah.
• 28:12
  And like, as soon as I said I, I I couldn't Like, she broke it
• 28:18
  off with me. And like you know they they they
• 28:21
  kind of went their separate ways and stuff that that stuff is so
• 28:25
  rigged man. It really is like they already
• 28:29
  know that it's not mine you know and they they they wanted me to
• 28:35
  go on there and do and the baby is try.
• 28:38
  To Jack it up. Yeah, you know why is?
• 28:40
  The family trying to make money because the daughters left with
• 28:43
  their stepdad. That is.
• 28:45
  So that's just gross. Probably.
• 28:47
  And the and the bad thing about it is like and I felt weird
• 28:50
  dating her because it was my best friend's sister.
• 28:54
  Well, not only that, but I mean, if you're dating a girl that's
• 28:56
  pregnant, that's a weird in and of itself.
• 28:58
  I mean, you'd be like I better, I better, you know, better not
• 29:03
  fully insert this. So I got, I got to ask you,
• 29:08
  caveman, because out of all of us, like this, this, this is
• 29:11
  you, this is your prime, this is your age.
• 29:16
  And oh, he's he's he's early. Yeah, but let me ask you,
• 29:23
  caveman, like what's what's the worst date that you've been on?
• 29:29
  Or have you not started dating yet?
• 29:31
  Honestly, nothing that I would sue over.
• 29:37
  Nothing I would sue over. I've never really had a date I
• 29:41
  would consider like bad. Honestly, it's usually like it's
• 29:46
  either. It's either bad because you just
• 29:47
  don't like connect with them. Really.
• 29:50
  Most people just can't get over the fact that they just not
• 29:53
  going to work out with everybody.
• 29:55
  Honestly, is that a suitor for $17.00?
• 29:59
  The suitor for dinner and the movie.
• 30:01
  That's crazy, man. I mean the.
• 30:03
  Filing had to be more than that. I mean, yeah, Yeah, he was.
• 30:06
  He He was being petty. He was.
• 30:08
  There's some to get on TV, yeah. There's some people out there
• 30:12
  that are just petty, you know? The final quote.
• 30:15
  My work here is done a lot. Of people that are.
• 30:17
  Petty. Yeah, there is.
• 30:18
  So many people. Yeah, A good rule of thumb, be
• 30:21
  with somebody, friends or whatever they or whatever for
• 30:25
  like a year before you even do any kind of commitment, 'cause,
• 30:29
  you know, everybody has two sides, everybody.
• 30:32
  You know, I tell you, I saw the, the, the evil side of when I,
• 30:42
  when I got divorced, I saw the evil side of my ex-wife, you
• 30:47
  know, thinking that it was going to all go all smooth and stuff.
• 30:50
  It did not go all smooth. And I'm like thinking to myself,
• 30:53
  OK, I'm going to be with, you know, the next person that I
• 30:57
  decided to marry. I want to make sure that I date
• 31:00
  them for a year and then I'm going to make sure that I live
• 31:03
  with them for a year. Really.
• 31:05
  That's a big one. You really want to live with
• 31:08
  them for a year because sometimes their their upbringing
• 31:14
  is not the same as yours. And what I mean by that?
• 31:18
  That's putting it mildly. Yeah.
• 31:19
  And what I mean by that is there's some families that eat
• 31:23
  TV dinners in front of the TV. OK, nothing wrong with it, OK?
• 31:28
  But then there's some families that are, you know, they they
• 31:34
  eat dinner as a family at the kitchen table.
• 31:39
  You know, a lot of families are like that.
• 31:43
  But, you know, and it's just different.
• 31:46
  When I was brought up, I don't know how you was brought up, but
• 31:50
  when I was brought up, we ate dinner at the table.
• 31:55
  We had a living room, that living room.
• 31:58
  Everybody came, sat in that living room from like 8:00 in
• 32:02
  the morning until, you know, at night, and then at night.
• 32:08
  Then you could go to your room and do whatever.
• 32:10
  But from that time to that time, you had to be in the living
• 32:15
  room. Really.
• 32:16
  Yeah. That that's that's how I was
• 32:17
  brought up. We had the traditional dinner at
• 32:20
  the at the at the kitchen table or dining table, whatever, but
• 32:25
  we didn't have that living room requirement.
• 32:27
  We had a rec room downstairs because we were a big family, so
• 32:31
  we were relegated to that rec room and that's where we spent
• 32:34
  most of our time was in the rec room, 'cause, you know, my mom
• 32:38
  didn't want all the chaos and noise upstairs.
• 32:40
  So we'd all go downstairs and hang out and watch TV, play
• 32:44
  whatever we were into, you know? But we spent most of our time
• 32:48
  outside, dude. I mean.
• 32:50
  Make sure you get to the mic. Yeah, when I was younger.
• 32:52
  It's pretty much just outside. Yeah, we just played most of it
• 32:55
  outside, You know, we didn't, we didn't spend a lot of time
• 32:59
  inside, so. Well, so one of the traditions
• 33:03
  that my family did, my my mom and dad and me did that.
• 33:07
  I still remember that I really enjoyed a lot.
• 33:10
  It was a long time ago. WWF used to be on Sundays and we
• 33:16
  used to go to Kmart and get one of those Subs.
• 33:20
  You know what I'm talking about? Those Kmart Subs, we used to get
• 33:24
  those, bring it home, eat and watch WWF wrestling.
• 33:28
  And like, that was the that was a big thing, you know, after
• 33:32
  church with, I mean, there's not a whole lot of people that I
• 33:38
  know that go to church nowadays. Yeah, there, there, there just
• 33:42
  hasn't. There's some, but there's.
• 33:44
  Just COVID kind of ruined it for me.
• 33:47
  Anymore it really did. Because they have the streaming
• 33:49
  now, and so now my lazy fat ass doesn't have to leave the house.
• 33:52
  I can just. I can just watch this.
• 33:54
  Oh, that's cool. You know, and and you know,
• 33:58
  'cause I do a lot of volunteer at my church, but I hardly ever
• 34:00
  attend church. I watch it at home, right?
• 34:04
  You know, Yeah. Well, Speaking of dating,
• 34:06
  though, my ex-girlfriend was Mormon, so her parents were like
• 34:09
  extremely strict on like, going to church every Sunday.
• 34:13
  Well. Hell yeah, She was Mormon.
• 34:14
  What they watched like everything.
• 34:17
  Like she had a little brother. So, like, everything was pretty
• 34:20
  much on, like, parental controls, yeah.
• 34:23
  Always had a weird dress. And she They let you.
• 34:26
  They let her date you. I know, right?
• 34:30
  That's crazy. It's pretty it's pretty crazy.
• 34:34
  Well, you know, you you you have that, you have that attitude,
• 34:39
  you know, that easy going attitude about yourself.
• 34:42
  You know you're you're a likable guy.
• 34:45
  That's what I'm trying to say at.
• 34:46
  Least I'm kind of chill. If I was a little bit more
• 34:48
  crazier, they definitely would not have let that happen just
• 34:52
  because she was already like that.
• 34:54
  So I was like the I was like the Yang and Yang there, like she
• 34:58
  was kind of the crazier one. And I was just like mellow.
• 35:01
  So it kind of helped. Do you now do you have, like, a
• 35:06
  most embarrassing dating story? Because I have one I'm going to
• 35:12
  share. But I want to know yours.
• 35:13
  And I want to know yours V 0. Shit.
• 35:19
  Caveman, do you have an embarrassing?
• 35:21
  Let me let me think of a good one, because I'm sure there's
• 35:24
  plenty. All right.
• 35:25
  Well, so. There's.
• 35:26
  Plenty. You started out there.
• 35:28
  OK, so so my first one of my first dates, and I'm still
• 35:33
  friends with her today and you know, I don't know if she gets
• 35:37
  mad at me for bringing this up all the time.
• 35:40
  So we went to the theater and it was when the first Addams Family
• 35:45
  came out that, you know, that movie, that Addams Family movie.
• 35:49
  So, you know, we're we're, we're here, you know?
• 35:52
  And I had already messed up because I was all like all
• 35:57
  anxious, all anxiety going, you know, I'm, I'm nervous, right.
• 36:02
  So I put my, you know, coke and all this stuff down and I didn't
• 36:07
  think about the seat coming up like that.
• 36:10
  And when I went to sit down, I forgot that I had laid my coke
• 36:15
  and stuff on the seat. So I like sat on it and it all
• 36:19
  came out. And if you've ever had like coke
• 36:23
  spilled on your legs or anything, like after a while, it
• 36:27
  kind of like burns. They kind of like, you know,
• 36:30
  seeps in when. You start getting sticky, right?
• 36:33
  Right, exactly. You know, and I'm, I'm, I'm
• 36:35
  trying to do this, you know, with napkins, not, you know, not
• 36:39
  embarrass myself anymore. And then that really changed
• 36:43
  because like after the previews, you know, went and we were
• 36:46
  watching, you know, a good 15 minutes into it, you know, I'm
• 36:50
  like, you know, do the whole, you know, thing, you know,
• 36:55
  putting the arm around her. And I looked at her and and I'm
• 36:59
  like, can I kiss you? And then she looked at me and
• 37:03
  she's like, I don't know. I have to ask my dad.
• 37:06
  And I'm like, what the hell? And it wasn't that time when you
• 37:10
  had cell phones when you could text, Hey, can he kiss me?
• 37:13
  Kind of thing. Every day I got to wait.
• 37:15
  Yeah, you got to wait, you know? And I'm like, so it was really
• 37:21
  embarrassing. It was.
• 37:23
  But you know, that was one thing that my dad did instill in me is
• 37:29
  the the, the basics of, you know, how to treat a woman, how
• 37:35
  not to treat a woman. And, you know, back then that
• 37:39
  was the thing to do. Today, not so much, yeah.
• 37:43
  Different There's a toss up. There.
• 37:44
  Yeah. OK, so now now I now I've told
• 37:48
  my embarrassing thing. Now you all need to tell your
• 37:50
  embarrassings. All right, I got one.
• 37:52
  So when I was in the Navy, I had this gal that was of Asian
• 37:57
  descent and we dated. She was, she was a little bit
• 38:01
  older than me. I think where she was, she was
• 38:02
  hot and and back then I was a dog dude.
• 38:06
  I was dating two and three girls at the same time.
• 38:08
  You know, I was just. You was a player.
• 38:10
  Yeah, just another you. Was a player.
• 38:11
  Just say it. You was a player.
• 38:13
  Just another nice. And so we dated for about 6
• 38:15
  months. You know, I was seeing other
• 38:16
  girls and I told I wasn't shy about, I told her, so I treated
• 38:20
  her like crap. Well, one day I went over her
• 38:23
  house and I brought a friend of mine and he was a, a gentleman,
• 38:29
  Southern gentleman, you know, he was O'Brien, the 4th, so very
• 38:33
  proud tradition, very proud, you know, heritage.
• 38:37
  And he had that, you know, Southern accent and all that and
• 38:40
  well and being announced to me, she just was enamored.
• 38:46
  She just thought he was just, you know, 'cause he was treating
• 38:48
  her like a lady. And here I am to her like shit.
• 38:50
  And you know, being just a Southern gentleman, she was just
• 38:53
  enamored. And I and again, I didn't pick
• 38:55
  up on it. Well, we we, we broke up and I
• 38:59
  don't know, 2-3 months later I was, I was, you know, horny and
• 39:04
  I couldn't couldn't get no one, you know, on the line.
• 39:06
  So like you said back for cell phones.
• 39:09
  So I called her up and I said, hey, what are you doing?
• 39:11
  And So what if I'd come over and she's like right now I'm like,
• 39:16
  yeah, right now she's like, well, I have company and that's
• 39:18
  OK. I'm on my way thinking I was
• 39:21
  all, you know, Billy Badass going to rock her world again.
• 39:25
  So I get there and she answers the door and she says, you know,
• 39:29
  this really isn't a good time, but yeah, you go ahead and come
• 39:31
  on in. And I said, OK, So I came in and
• 39:35
  I sat down on the couch and tried to get a little, you know,
• 39:38
  cozy with her. And she's like, no, I have
• 39:40
  company and and I'm like, oh, come on.
• 39:44
  Well, he was in the other room and being announced to me.
• 39:46
  So I was like, he comes out and I just, my jaw dropped.
• 39:49
  I'm like, what the fuck? That was her new boyfriend.
• 39:52
  So Needless to say, I was totally embarrassed.
• 39:54
  And he didn't tell me. He didn't say a damn thing to
• 39:57
  me. Like, you know, hey, dude, just
• 39:59
  so you know, it's not like we were like really tight, but I
• 40:01
  mean, tight enough for him to fucking tell me that he was
• 40:04
  dating. Watch your watch the F bombs
• 40:06
  we're we're we're on the we're on the the the real NBR page.
• 40:12
  No, we're on the NBR page today. Prick.
• 40:17
  Yeah, that's what I said. It's my accent like.
• 40:20
  Doing the Audrey, yeah. But I apologize.
• 40:25
  But yeah, I was tied enough to know that he should have told
• 40:30
  me. But yeah, that was pretty
• 40:31
  embarrassing. Needed to say, so I I made a HD
• 40:33
  exit. Wow.
• 40:35
  OK, now your turn, Caveman. So we are just going out to
• 40:41
  lunch and like on the way back I have something like ordered for
• 40:46
  and it was on my it was open on the phone because I was waiting.
• 40:50
  I was waiting to show her and she is like grabbing my phone to
• 40:54
  switch the music. So I knew like once it got
• 40:57
  unlocked she was about to see like this present that I was
• 41:00
  going to get her and like ruin the whole surprise.
• 41:02
  So I'm trying to like, reach over and grab the phone while
• 41:04
  I'm driving and I look back over and we're like halfway into the
• 41:08
  other lane at this point. So I, like, swerved back all
• 41:12
  crazy, and then we're both just like quiet driving for the rest
• 41:15
  of the way home, back to her house.
• 41:18
  She's like, I'm never getting in the car with that guy again.
• 41:20
  Well, you know, she probably thought I was.
• 41:21
  Cheating on her like trying to hide my bones and I was like,
• 41:25
  God Dang it, this looks so bad now this looks shady.
• 41:29
  Well, you know, when I was talking to Caveman, What, what?
• 41:32
  What is it? Next week is your birthday.
• 41:34
  Yeah, I turned 21 on February 8th.
• 41:36
  So two weeks. Right on.
• 41:38
  I'm going to buy him a big thing of Jack Daniels, I think.
• 41:42
  You think? I think, I think.
• 41:47
  Do you have like a specific preference or or have you been a
• 41:52
  good boy and haven't haven't done anything yet?
• 41:54
  I don't really like to drink that often.
• 41:57
  He doesn't, OK? He doesn't imbibe that often.
• 41:59
  OK. I'd say I'd say if you were
• 42:01
  going to give me Jack Daniels, though, that would be all right.
• 42:03
  OK. Or, you know, some kind of, you
• 42:06
  know, flowery substance, you know?
• 42:09
  That too. That's an option.
• 42:12
  All right. Well, ladies and gentlemen,
• 42:13
  that's the. Do you guys want to go to the
• 42:16
  next segment or did you guys want to go on a break to the
• 42:19
  next segment? What do you want you guys want
• 42:21
  to do? Yeah.
• 42:21
  Let's do another quick break. OK, all right, we're going to go
• 42:24
  on another quick break, and when we come back, we're going to
• 42:28
  talk about a woman that got nine months probation for killing
• 42:33
  your boyfriend. Details next.
• 42:39
  And now for the most famous words in Motorsports, driving
• 46:32
  Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
• 46:34
  Welcome to that experience. I don't know if it's still
• 46:37
  snowing out, but I'm excited about, you know, heading up the
• 46:40
  hill and dealing with all that traffic.
• 46:44
  But anyway, we got a. Special traffic saves people
• 46:47
  from crashing in this weather, honestly, So it kind of helps
• 46:50
  because people. It's not any less madding,
• 46:55
  though. And, and and you know, I always
• 46:57
  like to say we're I'm surrounded by idiots.
• 46:59
  No offense, fellas. I'm just the only difference
• 47:01
  between me and them is I'm an educated idiot.
• 47:03
  You know, I'm not the only educated idiot, but I'm.
• 47:06
  I'm one of them. But yeah, dude, this it.
• 47:08
  You got it. You know the bonehead factor is
• 47:10
  very high in in bad weather. But you know, the devil's plant,
• 47:14
  being devil's advocate, it's almost like everybody feels like
• 47:18
  that, Like everybody feels that they're the best driver in the
• 47:22
  world and they sit there and they judge other drivers.
• 47:26
  Well, just everybody. Does like males.
• 47:28
  Males think they all males pretty much think they're race
• 47:31
  cars drivers. Yeah, And so then when I get
• 47:34
  involved. With Ranger Rd.
• 47:36
  I got schooled quick dude, you're like, dude, I suck.
• 47:41
  This is I am not a race gear driver.
• 47:43
  I have to learn how to be a race gear driver.
• 47:45
  Well, you know, I I talked to my wife about that because like she
• 47:50
  will, she will not let me drive whatsoever at all.
• 47:54
  So like when we go any trips or anything, let's say is that 18
• 47:59
  hours or 19 hour drive? Yeah, she drives the whole way.
• 48:02
  She won't, dude. She's like a control freak when
• 48:05
  it comes to the driving, you know.
• 48:06
  And I'm like when when I drive, you know, around town, I mean,
• 48:14
  I'm just so glad that I got married because I have a buddy
• 48:18
  that constantly says it's green. Thank you, honey.
• 48:22
  I I could not drive without you or you know, hitting the the
• 48:29
  floorboard with her, with her foot, you know?
• 48:31
  When I when I drive with my mom or anyone in my family, they're
• 48:35
  always doing that. Or then.
• 48:37
  Or the the best part was my dad. I could have killed my dad
• 48:42
  because it was twice the car wasn't even close.
• 48:46
  He's in the passenger say, So what does he do when he sees
• 48:49
  this car merging in? My dad's like, shit and I'm
• 48:54
  like, what dad? Seriously.
• 48:58
  Well, you know, you didn't. You definitely don't drive with
• 49:00
  me, 'cause I I have a small sports car and I can maneuver
• 49:04
  the shit of that thing. I'm an aggressive driver.
• 49:06
  I'll say it, I'm an aggressive driver.
• 49:07
  I don't think everybody is an aggressive driver here in
• 49:10
  Colorado. The ladies, the ladies and
• 49:12
  gentlemen that we are going to or next segment and then that
• 49:17
  will take us to the interview of the week, our next segment hit
• 49:21
  that beautiful bean footage. Well, don't worry.
• 49:26
  Don't worry, I'm. Not.
• 49:30
  Going to do what you all think I'm going to do.
• 49:46
  All right, and I made sure to put her picture on there.
• 49:49
  And now this woman, We're going to bring up this this video.
• 49:53
  Go ahead and play it. The woman right there convicted
• 49:55
  of stabbing her boyfriend to death only gets a slap on the
• 49:59
  wrist. She faced the possibility of
• 50:01
  life in prison for stabbing him 108 times.
• 50:05
  But the judge ruling that she had no self-control while in a
• 50:08
  cannabis induced psychosis. Todd Pyro is live in the.
• 50:12
  Studio with the shocking. Details Todd This is a head
• 50:15
  scratcher, Ainsley The judge is sentencing 32 year old Brynn
• 50:19
  Speicher to 100 hours of community service, two years
• 50:22
  probation and the big one. No jail time.
• 50:25
  She broke down in tears after a jury convicted her of
• 50:28
  involuntary manslaughter last month.
• 50:30
  California judge claims she had no control over her actions
• 50:34
  after stabbing the victim at Chad o'mela 108 times.
• 50:38
  Psychiatrist in the case claimed the incident was quote 100%
• 50:42
  caused by cannabis induced psychosis.
• 50:45
  After the 32 year old took two hits from the victim's bong, she
• 50:48
  expressed remorse during closing statements saying quote I wish I
• 50:51
  had known more about the dangers of marijuana.
• 50:54
  Had I known, I would never have smoked it that night or at all.
• 50:59
  Well, Malia's family shocked and angry over the sentencing
• 51:01
  yesterday. The victim's father accusing the
• 51:03
  judge of being biased, saying, quote, he just gave everyone in
• 51:07
  the state of California who smokes marijuana a license to
• 51:10
  kill someone. The woman and the victim were
• 51:13
  dating for only a few weeks before his death in 2018.
• 51:16
  Police arrived on scene to find speech or in a pool of blood
• 51:19
  near the victim's body. She also attempted to stab
• 51:21
  herself in the neck before being taken away.
• 51:29
  That's the one reason. Oh, there we go.
• 51:32
  And I guarantee you that's the one reason why she she got off
• 51:37
  was because she tried. Yeah.
• 51:40
  Yeah. Marijuana induced psychosis?
• 51:42
  Oh, come on, that is. The chill bong hits OK, I don't
• 51:45
  care if it's your first time, 2 bong hits is going to you're
• 51:47
  going to be fine. High school, You might throw up.
• 51:49
  Yeah, you might get a little. Sick, you know see a cannabis?
• 51:54
  What are they cannabis induce? Psychosis.
• 51:57
  How you going to go into psychosis over weed?
• 52:00
  That's crazy. So this this is setting a
• 52:02
  precedent. Actually, yeah, it is, you know,
• 52:04
  I mean, this is going to. Be the the the weed defense.
• 52:06
  It's going to become the weed defense.
• 52:08
  And whenever you go into like a courtroom or anything like
• 52:12
  lawyers use these cases to get their.
• 52:19
  Well that's why it's called precedent because now this is
• 52:21
  open the door for other attorneys to use the same
• 52:24
  defense. OK well you know citing this
• 52:27
  case and saying you know in this case this is the reasoning
• 52:29
  behind the judge's decision. Therefore you know we we, we
• 52:34
  strongly recommend that you you you take these use into
• 52:36
  consideration judge your honor. So it's crazy dude.
• 52:39
  This is going to open up a can of worms.
• 52:43
  Yeah, well, and it's just like that that whole Gabby thing when
• 52:46
  when she died, like even though that Brian killed himself, I
• 52:52
  mean there there, there's a lawsuit going with against the
• 52:57
  the that Brian's parents because they helped, they helped his son
• 53:04
  get away with. It dude.
• 53:05
  But the the the police. I mean they he was at home for
• 53:07
  two weeks after the she was their remains was found.
• 53:11
  He was the last one to be seen with her.
• 53:12
  How come he wasn't in at least, you know, question or or or or.
• 53:17
  He might have been questioned, but he should have been rested.
• 53:19
  He should have been rested. Say, hey, you know, we have
• 53:21
  enough evidence to arrest you. We're going to arrest you and
• 53:23
  hold you until we figure out what's going on.
• 53:25
  I mean, he had two weeks to prepare, pack his stuff, parents
• 53:29
  helping him, and he took off. That's usually what they do.
• 53:32
  They usually arrest you until they get it figured out.
• 53:34
  Exactly. That's how it happens.
• 53:36
  Most cases like that's like the first 48 hours that I have.
• 53:41
  You know, until we figure this out, we're going to, you know,
• 53:43
  we have enough to arrest him. Let's arrest him, get him in,
• 53:44
  get him incarcerated. I mean, get him held, Held, you
• 53:47
  know? Put him in a hole.
• 53:49
  Then they actually figure stuff out.
• 53:51
  If they have all the witnesses, all the people that it could
• 53:53
  possibly be. If they just sit around and
• 53:56
  wait, then it turns into this marijuana induced psychosis bull
• 54:01
  crap with. That you know, not to mention
• 54:03
  108 times. She's right.
• 54:06
  How do you explain that? OK, I could see her getting
• 54:10
  angry and she's stabbing a couple times, but at 100 that's
• 54:14
  that is, that's rage. That's something, you know,
• 54:18
  that's an emotional level of rage that you know and you're
• 54:23
  very, very angry and you're very hurt, whatever, you know,
• 54:26
  emotions you're feeling. But that many stab wounds, I
• 54:30
  don't see how they could. Even.
• 54:32
  Yeah, that's. Crazy.
• 54:33
  I don't know how she's going to get carpal tunnel, you know,
• 54:36
  Good point, I mean. All right, Mikey's out.
• 54:41
  Yeah we'll we'll we'll we'll grab him at the top of the hour
• 54:45
  instead of going on break. But yeah you know it's it's
• 54:50
  ridiculous. I mean, but you know the the one
• 54:54
  question that I have is it didn't, it didn't say in the
• 54:59
  report like what strain that marijuana is though I mean could
• 55:04
  could marijuana be. And she's claiming this is her
• 55:08
  first time? Yes.
• 55:10
  Yeah. That's so.
• 55:11
  That's even more stupid. I know she's claiming this is
• 55:14
  her first time ever smoking weed and that she took two bong heads
• 55:18
  and she just went freaking nuts. I I.
• 55:22
  That's whatever he's got. Must have not been fully
• 55:25
  marijuana, 'cause there's no way.
• 55:28
  I don't know. You think something.
• 55:29
  Was in it. They're possibly 'cause I don't.
• 55:33
  Well, I mean, you know, looking at her picture like the mug shot
• 55:36
  or whatever, she doesn't look like she was.
• 55:40
  She looks like she's a couple sandwiches short of picnic
• 55:42
  basket anyways, to be honest with you.
• 55:45
  I didn't see the mug shot. Yeah, you know, she just, she
• 55:49
  just looked kind of out of it. I mean like.
• 55:52
  Groggy. Yeah, you know, like I said, I I
• 55:56
  don't. I know Marilyn.
• 55:59
  It has a. Different eye a little bit.
• 56:02
  Yeah, but could, Could it have been laced with a little bit of
• 56:05
  fentanyl? Could.
• 56:06
  Fentanyl do. That's what we're thinking we're
• 56:07
  thinking about. It was something in.
• 56:09
  Something that would make you actually pretty aggressive like
• 56:13
  that. Aggressive and paranoid, yeah.
• 56:17
  'Cause I mean, see the paranoia. Yeah, it's like.
• 56:19
  Paranoia. I used to smoke with my wife
• 56:21
  back in the day, and she used to get so paranoid, dude, she
• 56:24
  wouldn't even leave the house. It was just so, Oh my God, we're
• 56:26
  going to give us. Hey, you know this is before
• 56:29
  legalization. Yeah, mind you, so.
• 56:32
  And I think edibles are totally the the edibles affect you
• 56:35
  totally different than smoking. I really believe that.
• 56:39
  It is a different feeling. It is.
• 56:43
  So, All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to go to
• 56:47
  the interview of the week. Now we're going to bring up NFC
• 56:52
  the up. So stay with us.
• 57:05
  All right, ladies and gentlemen, we have Mike.
• 57:10
  Mike Gabbianelli, welcome to the show.
• 57:13
  Mike and I go way back. We were high school buddies.
• 57:16
  Oh, wow. Just joking.
• 57:18
  He he's like half my age. But but we better.
• 57:22
  We've known yourself for a long time.
• 57:24
  Great. Mike's a great guy.
• 57:25
  So Mike, you didn't join him in the Vietnam.
• 57:29
  I'm teasing. I'm teasing.
• 57:34
  You guys. Are you guys are go ahead?
• 57:40
  Oh, I'll say you guys are giving me a hard time.
• 57:42
  I'm just getting here. I know, right, right.
• 57:46
  So, yeah, Mike, tell us a little bit about yourself.
• 57:48
  Tell us how you got involved with NSED and and you know, a
• 57:52
  little background information if you would.
• 57:54
  Yeah, sure. So I'm a program manager with
• 57:58
  the National Sports Center for the Disabled.
• 58:00
  I've been working with them now for oh, this is my 8th season
• 58:04
  going on this year, so I've been working with them for a pretty
• 58:08
  long time, Started as an instructor and just kind of been
• 58:12
  moving my way up through the ranks ever since.
• 58:16
  Yeah, I'm an outdoor recreation professional, AMGA single pitch
• 58:20
  instructor, Really enjoy rock climbing, mountain biking,
• 58:23
  rafting, skiing, ice climbing, you name it.
• 58:26
  I'm kind of just would love to be out there doing it and have
• 58:30
  been in the fields guiding and offering outdoor recreation
• 58:34
  experiences now for 15 plus years from Yosemite, Michigan,
• 58:41
  Yosemite to things in Colorado, Utah as well.
• 58:45
  So yeah and then I actually grew up with with my mother has a
• 58:51
  visual impairment and is also is also deaf.
• 58:54
  So she has struggled with disability through her entire
• 58:59
  life. And I've always been so
• 59:01
  passionate about bringing these outdoor recreation experiences
• 59:06
  to the public and kind of making them more inclusive and kind of
• 59:11
  just fell into the world of adaptive outdoor recreation.
• 59:15
  Honestly, it was just kind of like kismet, really.
• 59:18
  So yeah. And soon as I started doing
• 59:21
  adaptive recreation, just kind of stuck with it.
• 59:25
  Yeah, and with your mom's, I like to call them challenges.
• 59:31
  Your mom's challenges. It was near and dear to you,
• 59:34
  your heart, so something that you were passionate about like
• 59:36
  you said. Honestly, I I didn't like
• 59:41
  consciously know that when I first started doing it, it was
• 59:44
  just like I was drawn to this field and I was like, wow, this
• 59:48
  is amazing. And honestly, through working
• 59:52
  with this field, it made me realize that my mom had been
• 59:56
  having so many challenges throughout my life that I never
• 59:59
  even understood until, like, I. I joined the adaptive recreation
• 1:00:04
  field and I realized like, oh, This is why I love this is, this
• 1:00:10
  is, this is these people are just like my mom, you know, And
• 1:00:13
  they are just, they're overcoming so many challenges
• 1:00:17
  and they're told no in so many different ways.
• 1:00:20
  And like, I want to be a part of the team that can say yes and
• 1:00:24
  can make this happen. Yes, yes.
• 1:00:29
  It is an exhilarating feeling when you hear those words and
• 1:00:32
  you know your mom must be quite proud, you know, in this kind of
• 1:00:37
  stuff and that you're doing these kind of things.
• 1:00:42
  Yeah, I, you know, I think again this world like through my
• 1:00:49
  involvement with this this field, like she learned as well
• 1:00:53
  like to like seek out those services to like embrace the
• 1:00:58
  challenges that she has and not deny them and like understand
• 1:01:02
  that they're there and learn the ways to live with them, you know
• 1:01:07
  and and not and really live and not just survive honestly.
• 1:01:12
  And I think like since I've started working with the NSCD
• 1:01:16
  I've been able to kind of share that with my mom and I've taken
• 1:01:20
  her climbing. She's done all the things
• 1:01:23
  reluctantly, as she might have, and through everything that
• 1:01:27
  she's done, it's like she just wants to do more and wants to
• 1:01:32
  learn more and wants to be more empowered to do things.
• 1:01:37
  And so it is pretty, it's pretty amazing.
• 1:01:40
  Like, just like both of us and how we can help each other, you
• 1:01:44
  know, grow. Yeah man, that is powerful stuff
• 1:01:51
  right there. It's very powerful.
• 1:01:52
  Now, Mike, I know that you're on the rec side.
• 1:01:55
  Have you contributed or been a part of the competition, part of
• 1:02:01
  NFCD or have you had that? Have you had that encounter yet?
• 1:02:08
  So we did have a competition athlete, younger athlete working
• 1:02:14
  in Denver through our climbing program for for about three or
• 1:02:19
  four months. Before they were kind, they kind
• 1:02:22
  of got burnt out. But currently, no, not with the
• 1:02:26
  our ski team up in winter. Park OK, OK.
• 1:02:32
  I used to be a part of the NSC DS Ski team long, long time ago
• 1:02:38
  when the dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
• 1:02:41
  Yeah, with. You're not that old.
• 1:02:46
  So you know the the the the person from NSCD and I know a
• 1:02:52
  little bit of history the the guy that kind of started it kind
• 1:02:55
  of engaged. It was how he he unfortunately
• 1:03:02
  passed away not too long ago and but from the from the time that
• 1:03:08
  he started to now, NSCD has really, really got it.
• 1:03:13
  Like the the first Mono Ski was actually a bathtub.
• 1:03:16
  And you know, he he made a lot of, he made a lot of eventive
• 1:03:24
  tools and adaptations and stuff like that.
• 1:03:27
  What's the most interesting adaptation that you have
• 1:03:34
  encountered since since you've started working with NSCV?
• 1:03:38
  Oh, great question. Honestly I'm I'm like we're
• 1:03:45
  finding new adaptations every day and one of the things
• 1:03:49
  recently that's been probably the coolest thing is our new
• 1:03:52
  adaptive mountain bikes. So these are adaptive mountain
• 1:03:56
  trikes I guess we would say SO3 wheeled designs.
• 1:04:01
  They are hand powered cycles and these things are honestly like
• 1:04:07
  you can if you learn that the how to how to ride one of these
• 1:04:11
  things like it can really unlock like terrain for for individuals
• 1:04:17
  that like they never would have been able to get to
• 1:04:20
  independently before. So yeah, we're just kind of
• 1:04:23
  getting to learn those things a little bit more and it's it's a
• 1:04:27
  pretty amazing piece of machinery, honestly.
• 1:04:32
  Yeah and this is exciting times because this you're you're
• 1:04:35
  completely expanding your your MTV program, your mountain
• 1:04:40
  biking and your snow and your fat biking.
• 1:04:42
  Which is exciting for me because you know Mike and I have done
• 1:04:45
  some riding together. We both love it, both passionate
• 1:04:47
  and he's he's actually invited me along to help him assist or
• 1:04:53
  assist him with this program. And so he's got, I mean a just a
• 1:04:58
  litany of dates that for the for the next, for this year for the
• 1:05:03
  next several months it's and it's just really exciting
• 1:05:06
  because it's hard to find you know for me personally it's hard
• 1:05:10
  to find a program that has an extensive program like that.
• 1:05:15
  You know they'll have mountain biking as a component to a camp
• 1:05:18
  or a component to a an excursion.
• 1:05:21
  But this is the first time in my experience that it's dedicated
• 1:05:24
  to those things and I love it. I love the fact that Mike has
• 1:05:29
  kind of spearheaded this thing and and jumped in with both feet
• 1:05:33
  and and I'm just looking forward to our our endeavors and I
• 1:05:37
  understand you just went on a ride on the 23rd.
• 1:05:39
  Did that happen, Mike? Unfortunately we didn't have the
• 1:05:43
  the word, didn't get out fast enough.
• 1:05:45
  We didn't have the sign ups for the 23rd, but our next ride is
• 1:05:49
  next Tuesday. On the 30th we are hosting a Fat
• 1:05:54
  Tire ride. It's going.
• 1:05:55
  To be open we. Got, Yeah.
• 1:05:56
  We got transportation to and from Jeffco Fairgrounds is where
• 1:06:02
  we'll be kind of departing from for that ride.
• 1:06:06
  We got equipment for folks. We'll be providing instructors
• 1:06:10
  and expertise. It's 100% free for veterans or
• 1:06:13
  active duty military. So like just like kind of a
• 1:06:18
  sentence was saying like it's a really awesome opportunity.
• 1:06:20
  If you're interested in exploring something new or you
• 1:06:25
  know learning more about this, a sport that you already love,
• 1:06:29
  like it really is a great opportunity.
• 1:06:31
  We have some really awesome new fat tire bikes that we'll be
• 1:06:34
  riding again if you're a mountain biker down here in the
• 1:06:38
  Front Range but never had the chance or the extra $2000 to buy
• 1:06:43
  a fat tire bike just for the wind and snows, you know?
• 1:06:45
  Want to come out and try one of those?
• 1:06:47
  See if it's something you'd like.
• 1:06:49
  Awesome opportunity to do that. So yeah, I'll definitely be
• 1:06:54
  sharing some information on how to get registered with.
• 1:06:57
  That now you brought up a good point and that's one of the
• 1:07:06
  questions I was getting ready to ask.
• 1:07:08
  You know, here I am, I'm disabled either either I'm
• 1:07:13
  skiing or snowboarding. How much does it cost for you to
• 1:07:19
  get, you know, like a buddy pass or a lift ticket lessons?
• 1:07:26
  How much is that going for right now?
• 1:07:28
  Equipment and all that. Yeah, yeah, I mean.
• 1:07:31
  You guys have deals. We do have deals for veterans
• 1:07:35
  for our our Alpine program. Let me pull up the I don't want
• 1:07:41
  to give you guys bad information.
• 1:07:43
  Again, I'm based primarily. Out of the Denver office.
• 1:07:45
  Your first. Your first.
• 1:07:48
  Your first lesson is free. I know that.
• 1:07:50
  First lesson is free for veterans.
• 1:07:52
  Your first lesson is free and then awesome after It's 50% off
• 1:07:58
  I believe. I believe so.
• 1:08:00
  That was, that was what I believe.
• 1:08:02
  And yeah, and that comes with the lift ticket, with the rental
• 1:08:07
  of the equipment, with the instructor and their expertise
• 1:08:10
  as well. So you're right, I was just on
• 1:08:13
  the website there. And yeah, you get the first
• 1:08:15
  lesson free. And again, it's a great way to
• 1:08:19
  just explore something new. Or if you're already a skier
• 1:08:23
  snowboarder you want to, like, take it to the next level, you
• 1:08:26
  know? Lessons are a great way to do
• 1:08:28
  that for sure. Yeah, I'm going to try to get.
• 1:08:34
  I'm going to try to get V here to to ski or or something other
• 1:08:38
  than the bike. Nope.
• 1:08:41
  Not going to happen. Nope.
• 1:08:43
  Once you see me ride my bike I want to I want both of you.
• 1:08:47
  You will not. You will say OK, that's what he
• 1:08:50
  was made for. Because dude, I I'm why do you
• 1:08:55
  think I need a new ski bike? I would like.
• 1:08:56
  That's great. That's OK, but you?
• 1:09:00
  Know. If you guys are interested in
• 1:09:04
  ski biking, Vicente, we got that.
• 1:09:07
  We got ski bikes up there. So if you want to go on a ski
• 1:09:09
  bike lesson, we do those. So that doesn't have to be
• 1:09:12
  snowboard or ski or mono ski. We do ski bikes, we got snow
• 1:09:15
  goes. We really do have quite good
• 1:09:20
  access to quite a bit of different adaptive equipment for
• 1:09:23
  on snow for sure. I put it in perspective, not to
• 1:09:28
  toot my own horn, but when I go on a on a camp, when I do a
• 1:09:31
  camp, would it be NSCD or Steamboat or whatever?
• 1:09:35
  Every time I go up there and I get my instructor, they're
• 1:09:38
  stoked. Why are they stoked?
• 1:09:40
  Because this is going to be a fun week this.
• 1:09:42
  There's no instruction involved. They're just going to go out and
• 1:09:45
  ride hard and have a great time. Things they don't get to do very
• 1:09:47
  often normally. It's, I mean it's it's hard
• 1:09:51
  work. So they're out there teaching
• 1:09:54
  how to do this, teaching how to do that.
• 1:09:56
  And it's a lot of work and it's sometimes it's still going very
• 1:10:00
  challenging. When they go with me, dude,
• 1:10:02
  we're like buddies going out, right?
• 1:10:04
  So they're like, this is awesome trees.
• 1:10:06
  I mean, I do double blacks. I do everything on that bike.
• 1:10:09
  So yeah, you can do anything on a bike bike.
• 1:10:12
  It's pretty much easy. Come on now.
• 1:10:15
  All right. Well, that's still a level of
• 1:10:16
  balance on a. It's a whole level good as far
• 1:10:19
  as I'm concerned, but I love that you say that because I'm
• 1:10:21
  getting a new one in a couple of months.
• 1:10:23
  Yeah. And so I'll have one for you
• 1:10:25
  available to use and I want you to show me.
• 1:10:28
  Your. Proficiency.
• 1:10:30
  Oh yeah, I can totally show it. Look when I when I skate.
• 1:10:33
  Them out there. Yeah, Mikey too.
• 1:10:36
  I totally call petition. I want.
• 1:10:38
  I want him to ride my, you know, go.
• 1:10:39
  Snow, I bet you I bet you. Ski like me under the table any
• 1:10:42
  day. French skier And there were
• 1:10:44
  people but like the French skier.
• 1:10:50
  You know what a French skier is, right?
• 1:10:52
  Mike, a French skier is 1 ski and you ride it.
• 1:10:58
  Yeah, you you ride it like you ride like a snowboard, but it's
• 1:11:04
  a it's a thin ski, yeah. All right.
• 1:11:07
  It's like a it's like a water ski, mono ski.
• 1:11:12
  Yeah, exactly. And then another, another
• 1:11:15
  interesting category with skiing is teleskiing.
• 1:11:19
  Teleskiing is very hard. I don't know if yeah.
• 1:11:23
  And some guys, I've seen some guys just be phenomenal going
• 1:11:26
  through bumps, going, I mean just crazy and I'm like, wow,
• 1:11:29
  how's he doing that? So, yeah, there's some really
• 1:11:31
  good skilled telemarkers that out there that that tear it up,
• 1:11:35
  you know? And I was.
• 1:11:36
  Fascinating, because you know it it it fits to the tip of your
• 1:11:39
  foot, you know, so it seems like it would come out easily.
• 1:11:43
  But it it stays, you know, it stays in there.
• 1:11:45
  What was you saying, Mike? I got AI got a telemark joke for
• 1:11:49
  you guys. How do you know there's a
• 1:11:51
  telemark at the party? They're going to tell you.
• 1:11:57
  No, no clue. I got to tell.
• 1:12:02
  You I got to tell you. Well I tell you what I have a
• 1:12:04
  joke that I, I that I told a a good friend of mine he's a
• 1:12:11
  snowboarder and you know how snowboarders and skiers are just
• 1:12:14
  you know the greatest friends And when I was gosh, I I can't
• 1:12:19
  remember his name we we was in the games and I I thought it
• 1:12:23
  would be funny but yeah he looked at me he's like ha ha not
• 1:12:27
  funny. But I told him I'm like you know
• 1:12:29
  what the snowboarder got on his SAT score.
• 1:12:32
  Right. And he's like what?
• 1:12:34
  I'm like drool. He's like ha ha ha, not funny.
• 1:12:38
  Yeah. So.
• 1:12:40
  Yeah and Mike just did a little background.
• 1:12:42
  You know, H Train over here is an ex Paralympian.
• 1:12:45
  So he's got a bit of a swagger in his stride and but and he
• 1:12:50
  hasn't been on the mountain probably how many years?
• 1:12:52
  Well, you know, I was on the mountain last year.
• 1:12:55
  I, I, I, I did a little bit of skiing, you know.
• 1:12:58
  Good to know. So we're going, we're going next
• 1:13:00
  weekend to Breckenridge. I was trying to explain to his.
• 1:13:02
  Medal. I was trying to explain to him
• 1:13:05
  like that. You know when when you're a
• 1:13:07
  competitor's race skier, that and you've done so much skiing,
• 1:13:13
  you don't do as much wreck skiing after you retire compared
• 1:13:18
  to when you know during the time that you're skiing.
• 1:13:21
  And he he didn't understand that, he didn't understand the
• 1:13:26
  like, I don't know. I did.
• 1:13:27
  OK. All right.
• 1:13:28
  I didn't. Well, what I didn't understand
• 1:13:30
  is the amount of days on the mountain that you're doing.
• 1:13:33
  I had no idea that we were doing 320.
• 1:13:35
  Days a year. You know, that's a phenomenal
• 1:13:38
  crazy. Of course you're going to be
• 1:13:40
  burned out. Yeah, I I think I got like like
• 1:13:42
  two months vacation, which was like I think it was like June or
• 1:13:48
  July and then then we had to get back to it and stuff.
• 1:13:51
  So that's the that's the thing about the whole Paralympics was
• 1:13:56
  the the travelling. I did not like the so much
• 1:13:59
  travelling. I did not like the travelling,
• 1:14:01
  yeah. So the ski race in the world is
• 1:14:06
  tough. Yeah, Mike.
• 1:14:11
  Do you guys have like criteria on, you know, the veterans that
• 1:14:15
  come and utilize your does? It have to be honourable
• 1:14:19
  discharge, they have to have a disability rating, all those
• 1:14:22
  things. Yeah, actually you know criteria
• 1:14:27
  are veterans or active duty military with with a disability
• 1:14:33
  rating and there is not like a level of rating for.
• 1:14:36
  That. OK.
• 1:14:42
  Now when I when I back a long time ago, they had a nice little
• 1:14:49
  pass deal if you was a disabled veteran.
• 1:14:53
  I, I, I don't even think you had to be a veteran.
• 1:14:56
  You just had to be disabled. It was $100 and the $100 ski
• 1:15:01
  pass got you in the Winter Park in Copper.
• 1:15:07
  Has that changed? Yeah, we no longer offer that
• 1:15:11
  ski pass to my knowledge or really any.
• 1:15:16
  The pass passes that you would get would be with a lesson with
• 1:15:20
  the NSCD OK From my understanding unless that was a
• 1:15:28
  program well. We're coming on that moment
• 1:15:32
  where we go ahead. I didn't mean to interrupt.
• 1:15:40
  We have a delay. That's the reason why.
• 1:15:44
  Yeah, I was going to say I think we have a delay.
• 1:15:46
  I was just saying I'm unfamiliar with that historic pass program.
• 1:15:51
  I'm not sure if that was through us or with just Winter Park
• 1:15:55
  Direct. So that would be something, you
• 1:15:57
  know, further research might be needed to kind of clarify on
• 1:16:00
  that too. All right, all right.
• 1:16:08
  Awesome. Well, we we're coming up to
• 1:16:12
  that. There are time to shot unless
• 1:16:16
  you have another question to ask him or yeah.
• 1:16:18
  I have a few more questions. So Mike, you were talking about
• 1:16:20
  the mountain biking and the fat biking.
• 1:16:23
  Tell us like, I mean I've been on many retreats with you.
• 1:16:25
  So tell us about some of the past retreats or future
• 1:16:27
  retreats. That one last year in Salida was
• 1:16:29
  awesome. We had a really good time.
• 1:16:32
  You had a good mix of things in there.
• 1:16:33
  Mountain biking, you had rock climbing, we had, you know,
• 1:16:39
  games, outdoor games, we had debauchery, we had a little bit
• 1:16:43
  of everything. And so tell us more about some
• 1:16:46
  of the other programs you're involved in.
• 1:16:48
  Yeah. So, you know, outside of the
• 1:16:51
  mountain bike program down here in Denver this year, what we'll
• 1:16:54
  be offering is what we call our military appreciation days.
• 1:16:59
  And that's every Friday or most Fridays from 12:50 or 9:00 to
• 1:17:05
  noon depending on the event. Currently, I'm actually at one
• 1:17:08
  of those events here at Movement Climbing Gym in Inglewood and
• 1:17:12
  we'll be doing some indoor climbing for veterans here at
• 1:17:17
  the gym. We also do air rifle archery,
• 1:17:22
  white water paddling, flat water paddling, and we kind of just
• 1:17:26
  rotate through those different sports throughout the summer.
• 1:17:30
  And so that's one experience that we have going on that's
• 1:17:33
  again continuous throughout the year.
• 1:17:37
  So just kind of hop online to our our portal and you can kind
• 1:17:41
  of see you know if there's something you're interested in
• 1:17:44
  signing up for there. We did offer a camp in Salida
• 1:17:47
  last year which is really awesome.
• 1:17:49
  We did some mountain biking we had, we were we were staying up
• 1:17:54
  at the Great Wolf Lodge or the Lone Wolf Lodge I believe and we
• 1:17:58
  had a disc golf course right there and right at the base of
• 1:18:01
  the trails. And so, yeah, it was a really,
• 1:18:05
  it was a really awesome weekend. Unfortunately, we're not gonna
• 1:18:09
  be doing that weekend again this year, Vicente, so I'm sorry
• 1:18:14
  about that. We are offering camps out of
• 1:18:17
  Winter Park though this year, which are the same kind of thing
• 1:18:20
  where we'll be rafting, we'll be biking, we'll be doing all those
• 1:18:25
  all those things up in Winter Park, and those expeditions and
• 1:18:30
  camps are up online now for sign ups if people are interested.
• 1:18:37
  Awesome. Yeah, that sounds great.
• 1:18:38
  And you know last year I participated in the Archery
• 1:18:42
  Challenge. I'm not sure if you're familiar
• 1:18:44
  with that. It's a nationwide program where
• 1:18:46
  they do, they have probably 68 stations with you know 2530
• 1:18:54
  targets at each one. They have a static range.
• 1:18:57
  It it was phenomenal. I've never experienced anything
• 1:18:59
  like that and I I I consider myself a pretty, pretty
• 1:19:03
  proficient Archer. And I went out there and got my
• 1:19:05
  ass whipped. No, no offense, but yeah, it was
• 1:19:09
  it was, it was quite a humbling experience, but awesome.
• 1:19:14
  So I was wondering, do you think that maybe MSCP might get
• 1:19:17
  involved with, you know, participating in that in years
• 1:19:20
  to come? Yeah, yeah.
• 1:19:22
  We definitely hope to develop that archery program further.
• 1:19:27
  I think one of the main things is we're looking for the right
• 1:19:30
  person to spearhead that initiative.
• 1:19:32
  You know because we currently don't have I would say an Archer
• 1:19:38
  at that level or caliber who you know would be able to take that
• 1:19:42
  kind of program and make it to get it to that level like you're
• 1:19:45
  saying currently. We're definitely more of an
• 1:19:47
  experiential for archery kind of getting you, getting you
• 1:19:53
  involved with the sport. So that we hopefully to hand you
• 1:19:56
  off to some of those those organizations that specialize in
• 1:20:00
  doing just archery kind of thing.
• 1:20:07
  Gotcha. They they had a hard time in ACD
• 1:20:10
  when during the Paralympics having a A-Team doing the cross
• 1:20:17
  country skiing that that was really hard to man.
• 1:20:22
  They had I when I was in there was only like one guy.
• 1:20:26
  How is that program going? Has it, has it built up, gotten
• 1:20:31
  bigger or is it about the same, Mike?
• 1:20:34
  Currently I'm not. I do not think we have any
• 1:20:38
  Nordic athletes this season. So currently we do not have any
• 1:20:43
  Nordic athletes. I would say it kind of ebbs and
• 1:20:45
  flows depended on need and when those athletes like are coming
• 1:20:51
  in to train. And so M1 of the your, I think,
• 1:20:59
  I think it's your biggest fundraiser the the Wells Fargo
• 1:21:05
  event is coming up next month and that's a little bit about
• 1:21:09
  that and your involvement in that and are you bringing your
• 1:21:12
  camper so I can sleep in it? I might be actually, 'cause I
• 1:21:19
  might be having a bop back and forth.
• 1:21:22
  I'm expecting our second child soon, so and that's.
• 1:21:27
  Kind of. He's got a.
• 1:21:28
  New right next to the due date. He's a busy.
• 1:21:31
  Man. Yeah.
• 1:21:32
  Thank you, guys. So really.
• 1:21:34
  Wow. Yeah, you're going to be, you're
• 1:21:35
  going. To be commuting for sure.
• 1:21:38
  Yeah, it's it's like the due dates of a week supposed to be
• 1:21:44
  about a week out from that. So I'm kind of like on call
• 1:21:47
  during that weekend, but it is going to be the weekend of the
• 1:21:52
  February 22nd to the 24th. It's a Thursday through Friday
• 1:21:56
  event this year actually Vicente.
• 1:21:58
  So in the past it's been that Friday through Sunday event and
• 1:22:03
  so this year we're going to be doing it through Thursday
• 1:22:05
  through Saturday. That should give us, you know,
• 1:22:08
  calmer more space on the mountain to mingle and do our
• 1:22:11
  thing. And yeah, it's a really awesome
• 1:22:15
  event. We have funders come from all
• 1:22:17
  over the country to sponsor adaptive racers and they sponsor
• 1:22:25
  A-Team essentially. And it's kind of a fun race that
• 1:22:27
  we host for the adaptive racers and for the sponsors themselves
• 1:22:31
  to kind of get on a course and race.
• 1:22:34
  We host, you know, kind of the whole shebang with drinks and
• 1:22:38
  appetizers and food at the base and you know, Spice to mingle
• 1:22:42
  and some other different events for some of those higher level
• 1:22:45
  donors and sponsors as well for those teams.
• 1:22:48
  Super fun event. Everyone's always really high
• 1:22:51
  spirits, really just a fun race for folks to get out and kind of
• 1:22:57
  experience what ski racing, adaptive ski racing is all
• 1:23:00
  about. You know for those folks who
• 1:23:02
  might not really know what it's all about and to kind of give
• 1:23:04
  back to that mission of getting those teams.
• 1:23:09
  So yeah, it's a really awesome. My part of the event is Gopher,
• 1:23:13
  you know, I got have them go, we got to go.
• 1:23:16
  We need something on the one getting AT and you know just
• 1:23:18
  kind of making sure the wheels don't fall off and we keep the
• 1:23:21
  keep the train on the track throughout the event.
• 1:23:23
  So that's kind of, I'm back in the house a lot of times and
• 1:23:26
  just kind of making sure things are running smoothly.
• 1:23:30
  Yeah. And that's kind of the capacity
• 1:23:31
  if you volunteer for that is you're you basically are a
• 1:23:33
  Gopher. They put you where they need
• 1:23:35
  you. I did.
• 1:23:36
  I did a participate a couple years ago.
• 1:23:39
  Man. It was a fun event.
• 1:23:40
  The thing that I, I, I didn't realize is that they give you as
• 1:23:46
  a bonus. They give you a pass for the the
• 1:23:48
  whole event every day of the event to ski.
• 1:23:50
  Well, I thought it was a pass to use it at my leisure and so
• 1:23:54
  Sunday came along or whatever day it was and they're like, no,
• 1:23:57
  you know you you can't use that. You had to use it this week.
• 1:24:00
  And I'm like, are you kidding me?
• 1:24:03
  So, you know, make sure you're aware of that if you know you
• 1:24:06
  gotta use wow, the events going on.
• 1:24:09
  Yeah, what we do and. What?
• 1:24:10
  We're open. This year is with the with the
• 1:24:14
  Thursday through Saturday. I think we're ending early on
• 1:24:16
  that Saturday because of just like again, traffic at the
• 1:24:22
  mountain has become kind of untenable on the weekends.
• 1:24:24
  So that was part of the reason why we kind of moved to that
• 1:24:27
  Thursday through Saturday. And so that will hopefully give
• 1:24:31
  our volunteers for this event some, some free time to go out
• 1:24:34
  and hit the hill. And then if you're on my team,
• 1:24:37
  VI always. I'm all about ride breaks, so
• 1:24:40
  make sure you're wearing your snow gear when you come to
• 1:24:42
  volunteer so you can get out for that ride break.
• 1:24:45
  You know all. Right.
• 1:24:50
  Well, we'll talk. We'll talk on the 30th for sure
• 1:24:52
  because I'd love to be on your team.
• 1:24:54
  And and the official name is Wells Fargo Ski Cup.
• 1:24:56
  Is that what it's called? Yeah, this is the the final year
• 1:24:59
  it'll be under. Wells, OK.
• 1:25:05
  OK, all right. Well, exciting.
• 1:25:07
  Exciting. Times.
• 1:25:08
  That's the one that we need to go to.
• 1:25:09
  OK, well, let's sign up. We'll sign up.
• 1:25:11
  That's. The one that we need to go to,
• 1:25:13
  he wants to go to Keystone. I like I I I look pretty cool
• 1:25:17
  though, Yeah. You know, if I had like you know
• 1:25:21
  you can get the Icon pass on base for like basically half
• 1:25:24
  price. You can't touch the Epic Pass.
• 1:25:26
  It's the best deal in the business, but you can.
• 1:25:29
  I still own business. If you have that, see I don't
• 1:25:31
  have. That I know but if you get and
• 1:25:34
  I'm I'm talking thinking about buying a Nikon pass which
• 1:25:37
  includes copper winter Steamboat.
• 1:25:39
  I think Al Dora I think it has seven days at Arapaho so it's
• 1:25:42
  got some some some meat to it and and I'm I'm I'm I'm I think
• 1:25:47
  the general's going to approve that allocation for next year
• 1:25:49
  and and I'm going to I'm going to pull the trigger So yeah I'll
• 1:25:52
  go to winter. I love dude I love Mary Jane I
• 1:25:54
  love Winter Park. I love Tressel in the
• 1:25:56
  summertime. I mean, it's awesome.
• 1:25:58
  So I'm not a I'm not. I don't have an aversion towards
• 1:26:01
  Winter Park, believe me. I I like that hill.
• 1:26:03
  A lot of people don't like Winter Park that I ski with, but
• 1:26:06
  I like it. I I I tend to like Winter Park
• 1:26:10
  and Copper a little bit better than I.
• 1:26:12
  Love copper as well. And that's why I'm that's why
• 1:26:14
  I'm going to pull the trigger on that ICON pass 'cause I love
• 1:26:17
  copper. There is a a nonprofit up there.
• 1:26:19
  I don't know if you know, it's called adaptive action and it's
• 1:26:22
  a kind of a small organization. I've I've gone up there a couple
• 1:26:25
  times. The guy's name is Dan, I believe
• 1:26:27
  that runs it. He's a vet as well and he's a
• 1:26:29
  really hard guy to get a hold of, but he's very accommodating.
• 1:26:32
  Once you get a hold of him, he's like, yeah come on up and you
• 1:26:34
  want to speak for the day and and I absolutely love Copper.
• 1:26:39
  And I'm I'm I'm trying to think of the names are escaping me but
• 1:26:46
  there's a there there's a woman double amputee that she started
• 1:26:52
  the adaptive and I I skied with her and and I I I can't remember
• 1:26:56
  her name but she she's an amazing woman her and Keith Doig
• 1:27:03
  we we we we skied all over the place It it was awesome.
• 1:27:11
  Back back then they had a shirt that had like the Copper
• 1:27:14
  Mountain and it said I tapped that you know kind of like you
• 1:27:17
  know I that kind of thing. It was.
• 1:27:19
  It was funny. Suggestive.
• 1:27:22
  Yeah, we're on the main page and.
• 1:27:24
  Then we're on the main page. Keep it clean.
• 1:27:26
  Keep it clean. We have a comment.
• 1:27:28
  Let's check. Let's see if it's a question or
• 1:27:34
  if it's a bot. How's it going?
• 1:27:36
  Hey, what's up? From our twitch.
• 1:27:38
  Yeah, Hey, what's up, Dubs and. Shooters, how did you pronounce
• 1:27:42
  that? Well, we are at that time for
• 1:27:46
  the last question unless you have another question.
• 1:27:49
  No, I'm not. We're ready for time to.
• 1:27:50
  Shine. All right.
• 1:27:51
  Have the. Yeah, we.
• 1:27:55
  Got Is this me? There we go.
• 1:27:59
  Yeah. Hold on, Sir.
• 1:28:00
  Shine baby. Here's the time to shine that
• 1:28:06
  Carlton. So Mike, this is your time to
• 1:28:08
  shine. It's for you to discuss anything
• 1:28:10
  we didn't discuss or something that's, you know, near and dear
• 1:28:13
  to your heart. You know, whatever you want to
• 1:28:18
  wrap up the show. Yeah, I mean, really, honestly,
• 1:28:23
  my my whole hope for coming out is just to hopefully get the
• 1:28:28
  word out for those for veterans and those active duty military
• 1:28:32
  to know that we're out here and that we have these awesome
• 1:28:34
  programs happening. You know, the unfortunate matter
• 1:28:39
  is like we have some really awesome opportunities and
• 1:28:42
  sometimes it's just hard to get that word out to people where
• 1:28:45
  they know that this stuff is even up there and available.
• 1:28:50
  And so really, you know, my whole push for today was to
• 1:28:54
  hopefully you don't just let people know that we're here.
• 1:28:57
  We got awesome stuff. We have some really great
• 1:29:00
  equipment some really great staff and some really great
• 1:29:03
  programs signed out for for you all and you know just all you
• 1:29:09
  got to do is kind of get registered and you'll get that
• 1:29:12
  information to show up. And you know I think it's it's
• 1:29:17
  just an awesome opportunity that you know I don't I I would love
• 1:29:21
  to see more people take advantage of it honestly.
• 1:29:23
  So you know, my hope is that we can hopefully get up, turn a few
• 1:29:29
  heads today and some folks maybe want to come out and bike with
• 1:29:32
  us next Thursday, next Tuesday, or come climb with us this, you
• 1:29:36
  know, one of these Fridays coming up or one of the other
• 1:29:40
  awesome experiences that we have going on.
• 1:29:44
  Yeah, definitely, definitely. You know, and I I completely
• 1:29:47
  agree these these programs are highly underutilized, especially
• 1:29:50
  by the veteran community. And you know, that's why we do
• 1:29:52
  what we do, Mike. That's where we, you know, this
• 1:29:54
  is to get the word out of this, to, you know, let everybody know
• 1:29:59
  all the all the things beyond the VA that are available and
• 1:30:01
  you know and and all the experiences.
• 1:30:03
  My personal experience with these nonprofits has been
• 1:30:05
  passionate, wonderful people. But Mike, you're at the top of
• 1:30:08
  my list, 'cause you really bend over backwards to make it happen
• 1:30:12
  for people. And you're completely immersed
• 1:30:15
  and you're completely dedicated to our veteran community and I
• 1:30:19
  highly appreciate it. That really means a lot the
• 1:30:23
  really. Thank you.
• 1:30:26
  It's it's awesome to hear that you know that you got your
• 1:30:30
  noticing that because yeah I I give it my all to kind of find a
• 1:30:33
  solution get the get you guys out there and so happy to hear
• 1:30:38
  that you you see that. So appreciate that.
• 1:30:43
  What? We know you guys are on Disney.
• 1:30:45
  Person. Sorry, this lag is killing.
• 1:30:51
  This lag is killing us. I wasn't sure if you guys wanted
• 1:30:55
  to see a video. I got a small video of our
• 1:31:00
  adaptive cycle kind of in action out at.
• 1:31:03
  Our. Trails.
• 1:31:05
  Is that something I could show on this?
• 1:31:07
  Real quick. So why not?
• 1:31:12
  I don't know how we we have to, we have to download it and send
• 1:31:16
  it to you. Yeah.
• 1:31:18
  And with the lag, I don't think that's going to work one.
• 1:31:21
  SEC. Let me see, it's giving me the
• 1:31:24
  option to to send it to you. OK.
• 1:31:30
  Well, we'll see. We'll see.
• 1:31:33

• 1:31:36
  to go ahead and say a big huge shout out to Internet Radio
• 1:31:42

• 1:31:56

• 1:33:05
  Day. Once again, everybody that is I
• 1:33:10
  can't pronounce like Gabby. And Nelly, program director at
• 1:33:13
  NSCD. He's wears many hats.
• 1:33:18
  I've done and he's very talented.
• 1:33:19
  I've done archery with him, I've done air rifle with him, rock
• 1:33:22
  climbing, mountain biking, haven't not got on the mountain
• 1:33:24
  in the winter yet, but he 'cause when I first met him, he said he
• 1:33:28
  didn't do winter sports and I'm like, huh, But I misheard him,
• 1:33:31
  he says. I don't do.
• 1:33:31
  I haven't been doing a lot of it, 'cause I'm so busy.
• 1:33:34
  But yeah, apparently he likes to go on the mountain and he's
• 1:33:37
  intrigued by the snow go, as are you, So I'm looking forward to a
• 1:33:40
  little friendly competition. You know what's so funny?
• 1:33:45
  What's so funny is you find it a lot in a mountain town.
• 1:33:50
  I found it in Aspen. I found it in Granby when I was
• 1:33:54
  there. These individuals that live
• 1:33:57
  there, they hardly ever get to ski the mountain because they're
• 1:34:01
  always working. It's that's how expensive it is.
• 1:34:06
  When I when I skied, they used to make fun of me because
• 1:34:10
  instead of going to like the the local market there, you know,
• 1:34:15
  you got like 45% off, you know, food and stuff.
• 1:34:19
  Instead of doing that, I was such a cheapskate.
• 1:34:21
  I literally would get in my vehicle and I would go to
• 1:34:26
  McDonald's and I would get food because McDonald's was cheaper
• 1:34:32
  than Yeah, I mean, it is. It's expensive.
• 1:34:36
  You could you could you could provide McDonald's iffy all week
• 1:34:40
  at one meal at A at a mountain Chalet I.
• 1:34:42
  Mean. Yeah.
• 1:34:43
  Ridiculous to to get one of like a clam chowder and then like in
• 1:34:49
  a bread bowl or whatever. It was like $25.
• 1:34:52
  Yeah. Yeah, it's expensive.
• 1:34:55
  And then they they, they tease you with, which is a it's a
• 1:34:58
  decent discount. But if you use your Epic Pass at
• 1:35:01
  checkout, you get a a discount and you know, it's a decent.
• 1:35:05
  I mean, last time we went out, my buddy bought some chicken
• 1:35:07
  fingers or something, 'cause I'm like you, I pack my own food,
• 1:35:10
  I'm too cheap and I'm not paying those exorbitant prices.
• 1:35:13
  So he he bought like me a hot chocolate and him a hot
• 1:35:16
  chocolate and a. It's like chicken.
• 1:35:19
  Fingers platter and it was like 25.
• 1:35:21
  Bucks, Yeah. And.
• 1:35:23
  Two drinks and chicken. Fingers that was $8 off, so it
• 1:35:28
  was actually more than that. So we got $8 off, 'cause I use
• 1:35:30
  my EPIC Pass and I was like, wow, it's crazy.
• 1:35:35
  Now remember the one, the one thing that I will say is that
• 1:35:40
  when you go skiing, the secret ingredient is to take a Cliff
• 1:35:46
  bar, Cliff bar or Cline bar. Yeah, you want to take a bunch
• 1:35:52
  of those because trust me, after one run you're going to be
• 1:35:56
  hungry. Yeah.
• 1:35:57
  And you know, and I've learned over the years, you know, 'cause
• 1:36:00
  I used to be, you know, big lunch guy, you know, pack a
• 1:36:02
  lunch, which I do still pack a lunch, but when I'm on the
• 1:36:06
  mountain, it's like you said, it's just to satiate, satiate,
• 1:36:10
  satiate your appetite. You're not trying to fatten
• 1:36:15
  yourself, 'cause if you eat a big meal at lunch and then you
• 1:36:18
  go back and, 'cause I really don't take a lunch break, so,
• 1:36:21
  but if you do have buddies that, hey, can we stop from?
• 1:36:23
  Yeah, if you eat a big lunch, you're going to be lethargic.
• 1:36:26
  Huh. Oh, yeah.
• 1:36:27
  You know, you're going to be in food coma.
• 1:36:28
  Yeah, you're going to be like. You want to save that big lift.
• 1:36:31
  You want to save that big lunch for after your day, like on the
• 1:36:34
  drive home or before you, you know, in the parking lot before
• 1:36:37
  you leave, whatever. But yeah, don't eat that.
• 1:36:39
  You know you'll, you'll pay the price.
• 1:36:41
  You just won't feel, you know, up to your term style or
• 1:36:45
  something. Yeah, man, you, you know won't
• 1:36:49
  be able the maneuver. You're like, oh man, oh oh oh,
• 1:36:52
  and then there you do an endo, you know.
• 1:36:54
  Now, have you ever, have you ever skied Aspen?
• 1:36:58
  I have. OK, other than Snowmass with the
• 1:37:02
  DAV sports clinic. Like have you?
• 1:37:04
  Skied it. I've done it with shoot.
• 1:37:09
  What is the name of that? What's the What's the
• 1:37:11
  organization up there? Boec.
• 1:37:13
  No, not in. Aspen adaptive No.
• 1:37:16
  OK. That is, why is it escape?
• 1:37:19
  Me. Are you talking about Vale Ski
• 1:37:21
  Club? No, it's in Aspen.
• 1:37:23
  Oh, challenge Aspen. Challenge Aspen.
• 1:37:25
  Yeah, and camo. And I've done a lot of things
• 1:37:28
  with them. Yeah, they.
• 1:37:29
  And they give you the option of skiing all five mountains with
• 1:37:37
  their in their camp. So if you say if one day you
• 1:37:39
  wake up and say, hey, can we ski Aspen today or can we ski
• 1:37:43
  buttermilk, whatever, they'll let you go over there and ski
• 1:37:47
  it. So that's what I did one year
• 1:37:49
  and I didn't do it to enough. I wanted to do it more.
• 1:37:53
  So I'm looking for they have a new thing out there called
• 1:37:57
  Western Slope Socials, which is usually Thursday through
• 1:38:01
  Saturday, something like that. You have to pay for your
• 1:38:03
  lodging. No, you have to pay for your way
• 1:38:06
  up there and then there's a fee that you have to pay and then
• 1:38:10
  everything else is taken care of.
• 1:38:13
  And then they have the camps as well, which is those are kind of
• 1:38:16
  hard to get into. Camos kind of changed their
• 1:38:19
  policy because for a while there it was one and done, You know if
• 1:38:23
  you've gone, you're not allowed to come back up, which kind of
• 1:38:26
  really chapped my butt. But now they're kind of being a
• 1:38:29
  little more lenient And because I went to several camo of events
• 1:38:33
  this last summer. I went to that archery challenge
• 1:38:35
  through camo. I went to a a rafting and and
• 1:38:40
  event with them and it was like 3 events.
• 1:38:43
  Boom, boom, boom. And I think a lot of times, you
• 1:38:45
  know, in these camps, you go to these camps and you're a A, a, a
• 1:38:48
  frequent flyer and they have slots.
• 1:38:51
  They remember you. So they'll call you.
• 1:38:53
  Hey dude, man, we got open. You want to go?
• 1:38:55
  Heck yeah, I want to go. So it it it pays dividends if
• 1:38:59
  you participate in these programs.
• 1:39:01
  You know and like I said earlier they're highly in my opinion,
• 1:39:04
  these programs are highly underutilized.
• 1:39:06
  Now certain ones like stars like you know winter ones seem to be
• 1:39:09
  more popular cause like right now I I go through cycles.
• 1:39:14
  I don't know if it's my menopause or what it is, but I
• 1:39:16
  go through cycles and this year I I was in one of those moods
• 1:39:20
  and I was like, I'm not signing up for any camps and part of it
• 1:39:22
  was cause of the crappy snow in the beginning of the season.
• 1:39:25
  We got hardly any snow in December.
• 1:39:27
  So I was like, I'm not going, I'm not going to waste my time
• 1:39:29
  and be disappointed. But then all of a sudden we
• 1:39:31
  started getting dumped on, dumped on, dumped on.
• 1:39:34
  And I was like, dude, I messed up.
• 1:39:36
  So I had to call up Steamboat. They're like, we're full.
• 1:39:38
  Put me on the wait list. I called up and I said we're
• 1:39:40
  full. Put me on the wait list.
• 1:39:42
  I think I am going to get into Telluride camp.
• 1:39:44
  That's another great camp that you should should look at, look
• 1:39:47
  into. Telluride is just incredible and
• 1:39:51
  I might be able to go to. That's the other one.
• 1:39:57
  NAC OK. Have you been there?
• 1:39:59
  I've pretty much been to every ski like resort here in
• 1:40:05
  Colorado. I've I've been there.
• 1:40:07
  I was going to say that. He's not here in Colorado.
• 1:40:10
  Huh. It's in Utah.
• 1:40:12
  Oh, you're talk. You're talking about Park City?
• 1:40:14
  Park City. Yeah, yeah, We I had to go there
• 1:40:18
  every. We had to go there two times
• 1:40:21
  every single year we had to go. They're just a a friendly
• 1:40:26
  competition and then usually Nationals was done there.
• 1:40:32
  Sanction race. Yes, yes.
• 1:40:34
  And it was always this one hill. It was always this one hill and
• 1:40:39
  they put injected ice on there. And you know, I was all like
• 1:40:45
  scared until I learned how to, you know, really be on my edges.
• 1:40:50
  And it was a little bit better. But yeah, it was, it was 1 hill
• 1:40:54
  and it was funny, 'cause, you know, when you go skiing, if
• 1:40:59
  you're if you have a visual disability and you can tell you
• 1:41:03
  have a visual disability if you don't have the jacket on, you go
• 1:41:07
  into the ski line. And one year Teague, one of my
• 1:41:12
  friends, he he's an amazing individual.
• 1:41:16
  He skis with one arm and one leg and you know, we're getting
• 1:41:22
  ready to go into the entrance and and this civilian, what you
• 1:41:26
  could tell she was civil. You could tell she had money.
• 1:41:29
  She, you know, you can tell the ones that have money, 'cause
• 1:41:31
  they're all like, you know, bling, bling and stuff.
• 1:41:35
  And she comes over and she's like, he gets to go before we do
• 1:41:39
  and he's. Like, kidding me.
• 1:41:41
  Yeah, and are you? Kidding me?
• 1:41:43
  She said. That and he's like, well, you
• 1:41:45
  want to change places, you know, it's like.
• 1:41:48
  Let me get my. Let me get my my tools out.
• 1:41:51
  But hey, you, you have, you have all all kinds of people, you
• 1:41:55
  know, you have people that park in handicapped.
• 1:41:59
  Hey, I'm not handicapped, but I'm only going to be here for
• 1:42:02
  like 15 minutes. It don't matter, you know.
• 1:42:05
  The big one I hate. The big one I hate is when they
• 1:42:08
  pull in, like, let's say it's at the supermarket or at the rec
• 1:42:11
  center, they're dropping someone off or someone's running into
• 1:42:13
  the store and they pull into the handicap spot and they leave
• 1:42:15
  their engine running. So they think it's OK because
• 1:42:17
  their engine's running. It's like, dude, it doesn't
• 1:42:19
  matter, you know, get out. I I will.
• 1:42:22
  I'll tell them move or I'm calling the cops.
• 1:42:26
  Especially if somebody needs it, I'd rather just.
• 1:42:30
  The one thing I was going to say, the the thing I loved about
• 1:42:33
  Aspen and I kind of wish they would implement it at Winter
• 1:42:36
  Park or all these other ski resorts is they don't have a
• 1:42:41
  wire on the ski lift to where you can plug it in your phone
• 1:42:46
  and you can play music. They got speakers on the oh,
• 1:42:50
  it's so awesome that they have that and they have the gondola
• 1:42:54
  and that. That was a big thing about with
• 1:42:58
  me with skiing, like I have the best time of my life as long as
• 1:43:02
  I, you know, have music. You know, yeah, I gotta have
• 1:43:04
  music. I'm doing anything I do
• 1:43:06
  anything. I'd have to have music.
• 1:43:07
  But you know, one of the neat things that are some of the
• 1:43:09
  resorts are doing is they do have a a handicap lane.
• 1:43:13
  So I know they have it at Winter Park.
• 1:43:15
  So they have, you know, 'cause like if you go to a lesson and
• 1:43:19
  you have an instructor, you you, you know, budget the line you
• 1:43:22
  can they go, you go straight ahead.
• 1:43:24
  But if you're there by yourself you're, you know you can go
• 1:43:27
  singles line or you wait in the line.
• 1:43:29
  But now some of the resorts like Winter Park are have they have a
• 1:43:32
  handicap entry entryway and you can go in there and budget the
• 1:43:37
  line. I love that feature.
• 1:43:39
  Yeah, I always wear my Paralympic jacket.
• 1:43:41
  That way. I don't have to worry about it.
• 1:43:43
  If you don't wear your Paralympic jacket, most of the
• 1:43:46
  time you have to, you have to like be partners with like a
• 1:43:51
  mono ski 'cause you know, you don't exactly look disabled kind
• 1:43:55
  of thing, so. Yeah.
• 1:43:57
  But hey, we are at that moment where we're going to do the
• 1:44:01
  Tribute to the Troops. And before we go to the tribute,
• 1:44:05
  hold on a second. Before we go to the Tribute to
• 1:44:07
  the Troops, I want to say this, we're we're we're doing a
• 1:44:12
  tribute for her and about I I believe Friday or Monday.
• 1:44:18
  But there was a fellow veteran that did the radio show like we
• 1:44:24
  do for Vet Radio. She she she lost her battle with
• 1:44:32
  PTSD. Michelle Young she she died I
• 1:44:37
  believe Wednesday. She was 34 and our hearts go out
• 1:44:45
  to her family during this time. But I I wanted to give my
• 1:44:50
  condolences even though we're doing the tribute next week.
• 1:44:53
  But now we can do the tribute to the troops.
• 1:45:00
  Sir, I don't. I don't know how to tell this
• 1:45:03
  story. Well, you got the joke.
• 1:45:07
  You telling her people what these men did here, You tell
• 1:45:10
  them how much troopers died. Friends and family thank you for
• 1:45:33
  tuning in today as MBR pays tribute to Navy Special Warfare
• 1:45:37
  Operator First Class Christopher J.
• 1:45:40
  Chambers, 37, of Massachusetts, who was declared lost at sea on
• 1:45:45
  January 21st, 2024 off the coast of Somalia during an Iranian
• 1:45:51
  weapons seizure mission. Chambers enlisted in the Navy in
• 1:45:55
  2012 and graduated from SEAL training in 2014.
• 1:46:00
  Chambers was a true hero. On behalf of us here at MBR, we
• 1:46:04
  want to say thank you, Special Operator Chris J.
• 1:46:07
  Chambers for your service and dedication to our country.
• 1:46:11
  Our thoughts and prayers are with your family, friends and
• 1:46:14
  those who served alongside. Welcome back, ladies and
• 1:50:48
  gentlemen. Welcome back.
• 1:50:52
  I'm not sure what that noise was, but.
• 1:50:54
  That was me. That was me going ha ha 'cause
• 1:50:57
  we're we're almost done. And I tell you what, if you're
• 1:51:00
  listening and you know that we're the secret word of the day
• 1:51:06
  is wobble, wobble. There you go, there you go.
• 1:51:10
  If you take that secret word and you go into our Facebook page,
• 1:51:16
  we have a contest. Win a bubble head of yourself
• 1:51:21
  and you know follow us. I mean you get like so many
• 1:51:25
  points. Like if you follow Facebook,
• 1:51:28
  follow Twitter follow Twitch you get like so many points but like
• 1:51:33
  for seven points. That's the secret word of the
• 1:51:37
  day and and now now now VS going to go over there and and and put
• 1:51:42
  in that well he's got he's got his book out.
• 1:51:47
  Yeah. So I have a question.
• 1:51:51
  What? How do people participate that
• 1:51:54
  are old school like me, that aren't very savvy in social
• 1:51:57
  media or don't I have accounts? Is there a way they can
• 1:52:00
  participate? Yeah, it's called.
• 1:52:01
  Create an account like it and then don't ever use it again.
• 1:52:07
  Oh, can I? We can't call it in and enter
• 1:52:10
  the contest. No, it's a.
• 1:52:12
  It's a like a. It's a follow thing.
• 1:52:14
  Oh. OK.
• 1:52:15
  Yeah. OK.
• 1:52:16
  That makes sense. Hey, we will I I'll tell you
• 1:52:20
  what we will do a a call in thing sooner or later because
• 1:52:26
  when I was at the embroidery grabbing his his shirt, yeah
• 1:52:32
  it's all. Official now.
• 1:52:34
  Yeah, so when I was at his when when I grabbed that shirt, he
• 1:52:39
  also gave me one of the old style shirts with the NBR logo.
• 1:52:46
  And here in the next week or so, after we get done with this
• 1:52:51
  contest, we're probably going to have another contest.
• 1:52:55
  And that contest is going to be for a shirt.
• 1:53:02
  We're going to call it the Honorary MBR Listener Shirt.
• 1:53:07
  And the only way that you can get it is by listening to us all
• 1:53:15
  the time. And if if we start seeing your
• 1:53:19
  name completely all the time, then you have a good chance of
• 1:53:25
  women. Yeah, and.
• 1:53:26
  You could be passing me on the show, so maybe the.
• 1:53:28
  Probably pretty cool. Yeah.
• 1:53:30
  And you know we have a new segment coming out we're we're
• 1:53:33
  probably starting about a month or whatever it's these segment
• 1:53:38
  we're it's. Called Soldier Spotlight.
• 1:53:40
  Yeah, so we're going to feature a veteran.
• 1:53:45
  We're still working out the details, but we're going to
• 1:53:47
  feature a veteran hopefully every week and kind of just tell
• 1:53:51
  their story. Success, failure, struggles,
• 1:53:55
  epiphanies, anything that they that's on their mind and their
• 1:53:58
  heart that they want to discuss and just kind of give them a
• 1:54:01
  platform, you know, 'cause we had one guy that emailed us
• 1:54:04
  recently and man, what a hard luck story.
• 1:54:06
  That guy, holy cow, A lot of challenges, a lot of obstacles
• 1:54:12
  and he's still going strong. So it just kind of came to me
• 1:54:16
  that, you know, we should do that.
• 1:54:19
  I have, I have a couple reluctant participants that are
• 1:54:22
  like, Oh no, I'm not interesting.
• 1:54:24
  And it's it has nothing to do with you being interesting.
• 1:54:27
  It has nothing to do with, you know what do I say what if you
• 1:54:31
  just tell us your story. All you do is say, you know, I
• 1:54:34
  was, you know, my name is you give a little background.
• 1:54:37
  I was in the military what service these dates these I was
• 1:54:40
  a whatever you were whatever your job entailed you know I got
• 1:54:46
  out in I mean it's it's pretty much self.
• 1:54:48
  Expanded Unfortunately, when you get out of the military and you
• 1:54:51
  transition to the civilian life, it's it's very hard.
• 1:54:57
  Like a lot of people have made mistakes.
• 1:55:00
  And what happens when you make mistakes, you learn from them.
• 1:55:04
  And you know if you don't want, if you don't want veterans to
• 1:55:09
  struggle like I did, you know, like any veteran did you know
• 1:55:15
  these shows, you know, talking about experiences, talking about
• 1:55:19
  stuff that you know that you just hitting a brick wall, it
• 1:55:25
  really helps you. You know, your your struggle
• 1:55:29
  story could be somebody's a plan of attack for, you know, so that
• 1:55:36
  they don't have to struggle. So that's the reason why there's
• 1:55:39
  so many shows like this. I mean and you know, it's not
• 1:55:42
  just our show. Like you know, we have a show
• 1:55:47
  almost every single day. You know Mondays we have the
• 1:55:50
  Black Sugar show. Tuesday we have dog tag Diva
• 1:55:55
  show. Wednesday we have a political
• 1:56:00
  show with Slacker 82A. I think it's a lot of lot of
• 1:56:04
  lessons and stuff. Then we have on Thursday we have
• 1:56:08
  OM Radio and then we have Gunslinger Tavern and then we
• 1:56:14
  have not only this show but then we have from Sky Blue radio JT
• 1:56:19
  show. You know and you know you don't
• 1:56:23
  have to do video when you come here to MBR, but we do both of
• 1:56:27
  them. We are looking for, you know,
• 1:56:30
  DJs that just want to do music, you know, if that's something
• 1:56:35
  that you are interested in, message us.
• 1:56:40
  You know this is, this is supposed to be an outlet, you
• 1:56:45
  know and you know every morning when we come here we you know,
• 1:56:52
  we're we're we know that we're not the Ellen show.
• 1:56:55
  We know we're not Oprah. We know we ain't going to get 3
• 1:56:58
  reviews. And you know, if you're looking
• 1:57:01
  at this and you support us, I tell you the biggest way you can
• 1:57:06
  support us is by liking, you know, just just giving a like
• 1:57:11
  you know, on a show, you know that that number right there,
• 1:57:17
  right now it's it's two, you know, we got two likes.
• 1:57:20
  It should be more than that, you know, But we have tons of shows
• 1:57:26
  here at NBR, even on Saturdays we do barracks talk that DD
• 1:57:32
  radio. And you know, if if you didn't
• 1:57:34
  know, we have a huge issue with at the DDV farms because they
• 1:57:43
  usually house homeless veterans and give them different skills,
• 1:57:50
  you know, working at the farm and stuff like that.
• 1:57:52
  And they can't do that right now because the septic system is is
• 1:57:58
  out of whack. You know, I I almost mentioned
• 1:58:01
  PORTA potties, but you know, they're like, you know if you're
• 1:58:05
  going to do it, you need to do it right.
• 1:58:09
  So there's a lot of, there's a lot of options out there and if
• 1:58:14
  you didn't know, to the right where it says DV radio, there's
• 1:58:17
  a little scan thing. You know, if you can give $5 or
• 1:58:21
  whatever, you know, great. Check and see what comment we

  All right, caveman, you know what?
• 1:59:53
  We'll go. What did you learn today?
• 1:59:57
  Always, every week coming in to new non profit.
• 2:00:00
  It's a new way for veterans to get out there because I didn't
• 2:00:04
  know there's so many other ones. Yeah, And I mean, you're a
• 2:00:07
  military dependent. Your dad's in the military, so
• 2:00:12
  you know I didn't. Even know, Yeah, there's a lot
• 2:00:14
  of stuff out there. Yeah, what did you learn today?
• 2:00:17
  Well, you know, I learned, you know, we get you know and one
• 2:00:20
  thing that we didn't mention that's going to be a new
• 2:00:21
  addition as well is we're going to have a musical live music
• 2:00:24
  component. So we're working on that work
• 2:00:26
  with guy, great guy from Soldier Songs and voices called Tony
• 2:00:30
  Rosario. We're going to set up a meeting
• 2:00:32
  in the next couple of weeks hopefully for him to come in and
• 2:00:35
  kind of get the lay of the land. Where are we going to set up the
• 2:00:37
  stuff, the equipment and have a, a, a live artist in here,
• 2:00:43
  including myself. So brace yourself.
• 2:00:46
  But what I learned is that, you know, you get caught up.
• 2:00:49
  You're doing this, you're doing that.
• 2:00:50
  You're busy with, you know, promoting your, your product.
• 2:00:54
  But there are a lot of great podcasts out there.
• 2:00:56
  There's a there's a there's a a myriad of podcasts to begin with
• 2:01:01
  when I'm talking strictly veteran ones that I need to get
• 2:01:05
  more involved in and I need to observe and watch and and learn
• 2:01:09
  from because you know there's some you know veteran veterans
• 2:01:14
  out there that are podcasters that are been doing this for a
• 2:01:17
  long time and I could learn a few.
• 2:01:18
  You know, I I'm a visual learner, so I learned best from
• 2:01:21
  watching other people do something so.
• 2:01:25
  And you've came a long way. You have you came a long way.
• 2:01:28
  I appreciate it. You know, I mean there's been a
• 2:01:30
  couple of times we've been like you know, no content and and
• 2:01:36
  we're we're getting better we're we're jiving.
• 2:01:37
  But it takes a while for that the the most.
• 2:01:41
  The biggest thing that I've learned today was that the
• 2:01:46
  Winter Park open, the Wells Fargo Cup.
• 2:01:49
  It's just around the corner. And we're going, yeah, we need
• 2:01:51
  to do that. So.
• 2:01:52
  But hey, ladies and gentlemen, when this show ends, you'll be
• 2:01:57
  able to catch it wherever you find your podcast.
