IT'S AN ASK US ANYTHING KIND OF DAY So get your questions ready, the weirder the better, for the 1pm hour.

NICK FERGUSON KNOWS MORE THAN FOOTBALL And today we're talking family life with Nick in the 2pm hour. He's a very smart dude who is much more than his former career. We're going to talk about this story on who is happy and who is unhappy and try to get to the bottom of why the numbers are what they are.
MIKAELA SHIFFRIN CONTINUES TO DOMINATE By winning the World Cup Gold for Giant Slalom in Italy. This medal doesn't count towards her march to becoming the most successful World Cup skier ever as it is a World Championship, but this is super exciting to watch. She is two World Cup Championships away from breaking a record set in the 1930s and I'm here for it.
DEMOCRATS TRYING TO INFLICT SAFE INJECTION SITES ON COLORADO If you've ever been to Vancouver Canada you know it's easy to tell where the Safe Injection Sites are located. They are surrounded by drugged out zombies and people dealing drugs in alley ways and the neighborhood looks straight out of a zombie movie. Check this out, it's the neighborhood in Vancouver that has become their Ground Zero for addicts and where their "Safe Injection Sites' are located.
But does it stop overdose deaths? Here's a chart, you decide.
There is a neighborhood coalition in Harlem, New York trying to spread the word about what safe injection sites do to a neighborhood and you should follow them here. I'm trying to get someone on the show about this before this disastrous policy comes to Colorado. We have to stop giving addicts our neighborhoods and hold them accountable for the destruction they are creating while moving them into treatment and off the streets. From the Greater Harlem Twitter feed:
How is harm reduction working in other Canadian cities? Edmonton has stopped it's program of handing out needles and pipes in transit stations because it led to more people doing drugs in transit stations. Wow, who would have guessed.
THIS IS JUST COOL Engineering is neat.
WHY WOULD ANYONE SUPPORT NDA'S FOR GOVERNMENT WORKERS? I saw Barbara Kirkmeyer last night and she has run a bill that has received bipartisan support from a wide variety of sources. What does it do? It prevents government from paying a settlement to a state or municipal worker and then requiring them to sign a non-disclosure agreement about what went on. It passed out of committee almost unanimously save a no vote from Tom Sullivan and is largely expected to pass a wider vote. Why would someone vote against this? I'd like to ask Sullivan to see why.
COLORADO IS NO LONGER A DESIRABLE PLACE TO MOVE And this isn't the least bit surprising considering that our Democratic overlords have made everything so expensive while making it more difficult to do business here. From our friends at Fox 31:
According to Rent.com’s migration report for the third quarter of 2022, Colorado had one of the nation’s highest so-called “negative leads.”
The rental industry uses the term “lead” when a would-be renter requests information about a place to live. A negative lead means more outbound searches. The lower the negative lead, the more likely that a state is losing popularity.
We have the fifth highest negative lead rate in the country right now. Thanks, Jared!

NATURAL IMMUNITY IS AS GOOD AS VACCINATION FROM COVID And isn't this interesting. A new study shows that people who got covid have immunity "as least as high if not higher" than vaccinated people. As many people, including me have suspected all along. This is what science looks like.
CORPORATIONS ARE SICK OF POLITICS TOO That's the takeaway from this article about how corporations deal with our hyper political world. A survey of leadership showed the following:
"Ninety-eight percent of respondents describe today's political environment as challenging for companies, with 78 percent describing it as very or extremely challenging—up from just 47 percent in 2021," Paul Washington and Evan Ladao of the Conference Board's ESG Center, and Bill Black of the organization's Government Relations and Executives Council, wrote in a related report.
So just stay out of it.

CALL THE COPS, THERE'S BEEN AN ENGLISH LANGUAGE MURDER I just can't with this idiocy.
DON LEMON IS A FIRST CLASS SEXIST and he proved it with this commentary.
He's made an apology on Twitter but let's face it, no one cares. Oddly I googled "When is Don Lemon in his prime" and there were zero responses. It's clearly not now where he has managed to sink the already low ratings of CNN's morning time slot to near record lows.
GUYS, HOW MUCH DO YOU SPEND ON A HAIRCUT? Jalen Rose says you better be busting out a Benjamin (that's 100 bucks) for every cut. I spend more than that, tbh. I'd love to hear what the going rate is right now for dudes.

NO LIKES FOR THESE FACEBOOK WORKERS Apparently if you want someone to quit Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp you give them a lousy performance review. Well 7,000 workers just got just that and many are worried that another round of layoffs is coming. Are the glory days of working in tech coming to a halt? It sure seems that way.

HIDING YOUR LOTTERY WINNINGS FROM YOUR WIFE IS A BAD IDEA Because a judge is going to give her half anyway when she finds out and divorces you. That's what happened to a dude in China.
I CAN'T DESCRIBE THIS STARFISH ON THE RADIO THANKS TO THE FCC But you can see the "penis starfish" by clicking on this story. It's called that for a reason and the nickname already given it is HILARIOUS.
