UNO Maverick Run is this Saturday!

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
I loaded up my trash bins andin my trash bin and my my recycling
bin, and forgot to put iton the curb. It wasn't until I
heard the truck going by this morningwhere I was like, aw, nut,
it happens that recycling min is full. I have to wait two more

(00:20):
weeks for rising that thing back outthere. That is a misplay on my
part, big misplay. Get anew bin, or you could sneak over
to other people's bins late at nightdrop some things off. Yeah, I
feel like that there's something unethical aboutthat. You gotta spread it around though,
spread the wealth. Nope, thenthey won't catch you. Yeah,

(00:40):
well I can hear a can beillegal, but it's definitely unethical. And
speaking of illegal or unethical, whatis going on in New York with Donald
J. Trump? That's what we'reall trying to figure out. Now.
There was a poll that was doneby the ap Nork Center for Public Affairs.
They did a research poll about thisparticular issue that is being fought in

(01:06):
a courtroom in New York. Allright, so if you're unfamiliar with what
this is, this is the ideathat there were falsified business documents to cover
up hush money payments to adult filmstar Stormy Daniels. Was she really a
star? I didn't don't. Ididn't follow that genre as closely as maybe

(01:33):
some others have. So what wouldbe another term? If we're not sure
to call her a star? Thinka performer? Yeah? Yeah, C
list adult film performer. I wouldn'tknow either. Well, if you do

(01:56):
know, please refrain from calling today. Not a conversation I'm willing to have
on the air. All right,So the question is, did Donald Trump
do anything illegal? And they're not, of course, they're asking people who
are in the jury selection, andthey're still selecting people for the jury,

(02:16):
although Donald Trump is being reprimanded forbad courtroom behavior allegedly by the people in
charge, of course he is.Right Now, I'll talk about the jury
selection thing in the second, butI want to talk about this poll that
was done by the AP North Centerfor Public Affairs. Only thirty five percent

(02:40):
of US adults that were polled saythat he did something illegal. Thirty one
percent of Americans think that Trump's actionswere unethical but not illegal. So if
you tack that on, I mean, thirty five percent say legal at least
sixty five percent. Sixty five percentof people in the poll said that this

(03:02):
is not an illegal act that hedid, and they're confused as to why
there's a trial. Thirty one ofthose sixty five percent did say that his
actions were unethical but not illegal.Fourteen percent said he did nothing wrong.
The other nineteen percent said they're justnot quite sure. So you can throw
that in there too. There's obviouslya margin of error here. But my

(03:25):
bigger question isn't you know whether ornot? Okay? So if he did
what he's accused of, you know, we definitely need to talk about that,
falsifying these business records and everything,right. I'm also unsure that this
would ever be coming to a trialif he wasn't running for office again this
year. So there's that, Butwhat about these jurors, Matt, do

(03:47):
you think you think in a trialfor something that Donald J. Trump is
accused of, they're going to finda jury that's going to be able to
be down the middle on this thing? You know how they move like a
trial from like one jurisdiction to anotherbecause of the local coverage, Like one
county in Nebraska will like something willhappen there. But they'll actually move the

(04:11):
trial to a different county because there'sa lot bigger pool of people that just
don't know the details of what actuallyhappened. When it happened, they didn't
see it in the news. Theydid that with the oj trial, right,
yeah, yeah, But how areyou going to get a jury for
a former president that's this polarizing andalready this famous and have people on the

(04:32):
jury that you know are trying tobe as fair down the middle. You
might need a time machine for that. What are we doing? Like,
how is this even a thing?You can always balance the scales, just
find you know, crazy people fromboth sides. Yeah, but how do
you do that? What if somebody'slying? People lie all the time?
Now, people lie under oath allthe time. I've seen it. I've

(04:56):
seen people lying under oath. Imean that's supposed to be against the law.
But if they're all lying, arethey all telling the same liar different
Well, that's the thing. It'slike, do you show up and you
know what they're looking for, soyou give them all the answers that they
want so you can be on thejury, and then when it comes time
to give the verdict, that's whenyou show your bias. How do we

(05:18):
know that's not happening? I say, put these people to a polygraph.
I don't know. That's not onehundred percent full proof, but at least
is that there's got to be somebodyand can get a read on this.
How do you get people to nothave an opinion on this man? There's

(05:41):
got to be some reverse psychology?Are they hypnotizing these people? Are they
doing the men in Black thing tolike wipe their memory clean, like the
like the people that well, butthey would need to have some knowledge about
how the world works. Wouldn't theyto know whether or not that he did
anything wrong? So you couldn't wipeeverything clean. You just have to like,

(06:05):
is there a way that you cango into their brains and like wipe
out the Donald Trump part. They'dbe like the guy from Home Alone too,
What what are you talking about thatguy? Yeah? It's like,
wasn't he in the Little Rascals?And the answer is yes, he was.
Oh that's right, Yeah he wasWaldo's dad, the guy from the
Pizza Hut commercials. Yeah, theguy from the Prentice, the guy who

(06:25):
says you're fired all the time.He was the president Ronald Reagan, the
actor. You know what we needto do now, it may take some
time. We're gonna need some time. Find is it eight people? I
think it's twelve. Find twelve peoplefresh out of a coma. The only

(06:46):
stipulation that coma needs to go backat least like ten years. Oh,
ten year coma. Yeah, allright now, Johnny, good to have
you back on planet Earth. We'llget you to your family, but first
we need you to be on thejury for the this an incredibly important lawsuit.
Oh you don't even let him seehis family first. Oh that's brutal.
No, because what they need andthey can't. They'll they'll talk to

(07:10):
him. What are they gonna talkto about you? You can't be sure
that's true. They must be sequesteredimmediately. Can't be sure. I mean
the FBI, the officials, theDJ they have to be in the room
when they wake up. Eventually,they're gonna get sick of trying to find
more people coming out of comas.The half of them are gonna just gonna
be like, well, any daynow they'll wake up. They'll be sitting
there on the trial now, andwe'll catch them up. As time goes

(07:31):
on he wiggled the foot, gethim on the jury. Okay, well,
I have the numbers for what therespondents of this pole really think of
what's going to be happening in thiscourtroom and whether or not they think the
former president will be treated fairly.We'll talk through that next on news radio
eleven ten KFA B and Maurice Songon news Radio eleven ten KFAB. I

(07:55):
was singing some of the songs duringthe commercial break. What do you think?
Pretty good? Yeah, I justgot to start out an America coverman.
I didn't realize they had so manyhits. I love America. They're
kind of I think some would sayyacht rock hmm, but I call it
soft rock. America is not.They're driving music. To me like that,

(08:18):
they're relaxing, driving music, notbeing on a boat music. At
least that's my interpretation. But Ilike them. Oh and you also said,
what was it with all those bandsin the seventies and eighties named after
geographical like you had America, Europe, Asia, Boston, Chicago, Kansas.
What's one of the most famous songsof the eighties, the Final Countdown?

(08:41):
No, that's Europe. But howabout the song Africa by Toto,
Africa by Toto. Right, yeah, well there you go, eh.
I don't know. There's all sortsof good ones geographical locations people can just
latch onto. The best song everwritten is geographically named. Really yeah,
Hotel, California. That's the bestsong ever written, ever written. What's

(09:03):
the metrics on that? It's goteverything? I mean, you want to
do this right now? Do you? Do? You even have like a
solution to like what would be thebackup? What would be the number two?
I'd have to listen to it.But gut reaction is I don't even
know if that scratches my top ten? Okay, And that's just you not
being cultured. Ah. The lyrics, the vocals, the guitar parts,

(09:28):
dueling guitar solo, the intermentation,it all fits together, the voice of
Don Henley, I mean, whatdo you want? The imagery of it,
The fact that you could just sitthere and just you could you could
do anything to that song, right. You could be in the car to
that song. You could be ona boat to that song. You could
be swimming to that song. Youcould be on vacation of that song.

(09:48):
You could be having a terrible nightand like that song comes on and like
it makes you feel something, likeyou could be having a breakup and that
song like it's and you feel something. It's the best song ever written.
Tomato, Tomato. No, that'snot how that works, all right.
Anyway, back to what we weretalking about before. Sorry for the distraction.
Donald Trump is in court in NewYork and I have a poll that

(10:09):
was done by the ap Nork Centerfor Public Affairs. This research poll pulled
Americans about this court case and aquestion that they had to respondents were,
are the state prosecutors in New Yorktreating former President Trump fairly? About half
said they were. Forty four percentsay they have little or no confidence that

(10:31):
they're unbiased. Of course, thinkabout that, would you not guess that
that's probably along party lines? Notexactly, but like fifty to fifty fifty
percent say yes, he's being treatedfairly. The other fifty percent they're like,

(10:52):
now, I'm not so sure.And most of that fifty percent say
they have no confidence that they're unbiased. And then if convicted, half of
the public in this pole say Trumpwould be unfit for office. Oh okay,
well, I wonder which half ofthe country they're talking about maybe the
half that don't like the Republicans,maybe the half that don't like Trump.
Stunning facts there now. Of course, when asked about whether or not this

(11:20):
or the other charges and indictments thathe was served Donald Trump, when that
came to like what happened in thetwenty twenty election and whatnot, more people
say that that was a bigger problemto them. Regarding Trump's alleged election interference
in Georgia, survey says forty sevenpercent of the adults in the survey say

(11:45):
he acted illegally. Again, pleaseshow me the political backgrounds of the people
in this They don't do that ona point to point basis. But I
just want everyone to understand, thispoll is illustrating exactly what I was in
I was suggesting was probably going tobe the case all along, And that

(12:09):
Matt and everybody listening is that you'renot going to find twelve people who aren't
going to be in some way politicallypulled one direction or another when they're talked
about or they're trying to be apart of this case. You know how
many fanatical people either a support himlike he's like the greatest thing that ever

(12:31):
happened to the United States of Americaor the world politically, And for every
single one of those people, there'sa complete opposite person that is going to
say, this is the worst personwho ever walked to the face of the
earth, this is the devil,this is the downfall of the American society.
It's one to one, and you'regoing to tell me you're going to
find enough people that are completely freeof any sort of political poll one direction

(12:56):
or the other to be a partof something that could can this man of
Probably, I mean you're talking this. I don't think by rule would disqualify
him from the presidency, but certainlythis is going to create an issue where
the independent voter is not going tobe interested in voting for somebody who is

(13:18):
convicted of a crime like this,and we're putting it in the hands of
people expecting them to be unbiased.That's why you need six and six.
But how do you do that?You find six radicals on either side and
then you put a camera, followthem everywhere, make a reality TV show,
billions of dollars, everybody's watching it. And also very fair trial,

(13:39):
very fair. How confident are youthat that would be the case and how
confident are you that these people wouldn'tbe just lying to you to get themselves
as part of this. You'd haveto thoroughly vet them. How do you
do that? Social media? Friends? Family? I think they already do
some of that poligraph pull him upsidedown, make them, you know,
say what they think, and theycan't go right side up again until they

(14:01):
are honest. I don't know that'stortures wor at least that's also I think
illegal. Let's assault battery. Oh, this is why they don't put us
in charge of this stuff. Right, we're just spiitballing. Here are no
bad ideas. Apparently we're finding outon the news that there are three jurors
that actually have been chosen right nowfor the trial. I want to meet
these people. Please tell me.Do they live under a rock? Do

(14:26):
they not have television? That wouldbe that would be my thing, you
know what I mean? That wouldbe like the only way they're going to
know who this guy is. Andthey're probably going to have some political opinion,
even if it is just fatigue.That still counts, doesn't it.
I have no opinion on politics,but man, I'm just sick and tired.

(14:46):
Of the fighting that we have inour country over the politics, and
this guy has been in this inthe at the epicenter of it for the
last decade. You'd almost want itto be like a blind a blind test,
you know, get twelve people,give them the details of the case,
but don't tell me yes, nowthat's the answer. How can we
do that? But too many peopleknow about the case already, So if

(15:09):
you've watch television, you'll know whatthey're talking about, especially in the low
calir In. Maybe they need tobe amish. Maybe we just need it
now easy there. Huh, you'retalking about people that live in the eighteen
eighties. I think that twelve homishpeople they won't even know what an adult
film is. Oh yeah, someof them will wink wink. I don't

(15:33):
know if that pertains to the caseat all. Yeah, that's just my
perspective. All right, it's yourtwenty eight. Well, when we come
back, we're going to take alittle side step away from the hard hitting
news of the day. We'll getback to more of that as we get
into the three o'clock hour. Iwant to talk about a really awesome event
that's happening this week in Omaha.It's called the Maverick Run, and it
goes going to do a lot netnecessarily for just for the people who are

(15:56):
running in the race, but itis going to have a last impact on
people who are trying to get theirdaughters, their sons, their nieces,
their nephews into college here in Omaha. We'll explain all of it coming up
next on news Radio eleven ten Kfab. Em Rie's songer on news Radio eleven
ten Kfab. One thing that welike to do is always keep you updated

(16:18):
on things that are happening in thecommunity and stuff that I notice and I've
told you about, you know,having moved to town over the last year,
trying to learn about different things thatare going on. One thing that
I do is I go on alot of runs. I run down in
Elmwood Park and Memorial Park is veryclose to my house, and I run

(16:38):
right through the campus of the Universityof Nebraska Omahon. I saw these signs
just kind of hanging out around thepaths down in Elmwood Park talking about the
Maverick Run. I needed to figureout what this thing was, so I
brought on my friend Sadie Lamplott,who is joining us on the phone line
today. And Sadie, first ofall, thanks for being on our show
today. Thank you so much forhaving me. I'm excited to be here

(17:02):
and tell you more about the MaverickRun. Okay, so the Maverick Run.
This is an actual run, Iam guessing, and this is not
the first time that you guys havedone this, Is that right? No,
absolutely not. This is a longstanding tradition that has been going on
with the University of Nebraska Omaha.We do this run every single year.

(17:22):
It's definitely developed over the years andit used to be originally a walk and
now it's a ten k, fivek, a five k walk, a
kid's mile run. You know,a lot going on, but it's all
for a great cause. Yeah.So this thing's actually happening this Saturday,
and the registration still available for allof these. We'll get to exactly how

(17:44):
people can sign up for this ina moment. But you talk about the
great causes. You talk about beinga college. You have a school,
and this is a school that youguys have made a lot of improvements to
the facilities. There's a lot ofof excitement around obviously, the men's ice
hockey team, but also you know, baseball season's going on, you have

(18:06):
good soccer teams. Basketball is happening, But this is really an opportunity for
people to have a little bit ofa hand in helping the athletic department at
you ando talk about kind of howthat all works out with the money that
you guys raised during this event.Absolutely. Yeah, So all proceeds in

(18:26):
the past they have gone to theathletic department and like the sports program specifically.
However, this year we are returningto our roots, the original foundation
of this Mavick Run, which isall proceeds are supporting women's athletics. So
pretty much any registration donation will allbe going to women's athletics. This is

(18:47):
going in hand with our new initiatedwomen's initiative, Maverick Heroes. So please
come out on Saturday morning, Apriltwentieth and come and support our athletic programs.
We're speaking with Sadie Lamplott. She'san assistant director of Marketing and fan
Engagement for the University of Nebraska Omaha. You speak about women's sports that we

(19:11):
kind of talked quite a bit aboutthat yesterday. The WNBA draft certainly got
a lot of attention with Caitlin Clarkand feels like, you know, and
we suggest to this on the showthat we're kind of turning a corner in
the way that women's athletics is beingseen, perceived, or celebrated a little
bit. Here you saw the Omahavolleyball team, you know, play against

(19:33):
Nebraska and the biggest, most highlyattended women's sporting event in the history of
the world last fall. There's allsorts of things that are really exciting about
women's sports right now. As awoman yourself, how can you kind of
you know, tell us how you'refeeling about seeing this shift in public opinion
on women's sporting events. It's absolutelyincredible. You know, I don't think

(19:57):
this is a trend. I thinkit's to stick. I think it's going
to continue to grow to become,you know, a bigger awareness, but
also a big deal, you know, in a sports industry altogether. So
it honestly feels amazing to see therecognition now all the women's athletic departments deserve.
So I'm very excited to see howhow what the trend we're going for

(20:21):
for sure, now Sadie, Ihave to ask it you know I as
a runner myself, I'm thinking aboutdoing this. I don't know if it's
too late for me to sign upor you know, slide into to run
this thing. It looks like there'sa lot of people that are going to
sign up based on the amount ofmoney you guys have raised in the past
on this. But where does therun actually take place and how does it
kind of work? As you said, there's several different types of runs or

(20:44):
walks that people can be a partof during Saturday's events. Yeah, absolutely,
it is not too late to signup. You can sign up online
at our website at omavs dot com, Slash Sports, Flashed Maverick Dash where
we still have early bird registration goingon, so you can register online.

(21:06):
However, if you can't make itin, we do accept an in person
registration on the day in the morning, So our doors open on Saturday morning
at eight am to the general public. You can come in through the main
entrance door at Baxter Arena and registerfor the run. We begin in the
main parking lot as well. Kidsrace starts at eight thirty am, and

(21:29):
then our ten k run begins atnine am, and then our five k
run at nine oh five, andthen our five k walk will be at
nine to ten. And then thisyear we also have over thirty vendors joining
us inside of Baxter Arena to kindof hang out. We have an inflatable
and kid area for kids to hangout, and then we also have a
beer garden for those twenty one andups. Okay, well, I'm certainly

(21:53):
interested in that for sure too.As you was speaking with, Sadie Lamplot
is the assistant director of Marketing andFan Engagement at the University of Nebraska Omaha.
So the Maverick Run is happening thisweekend. We talked about ways that
people can learn more. We talkedabout, you know, the way that
you know, people go on thewebsite and register to be a part of

(22:14):
this or just hang out and bea part of the festivities. I do
have to ask, though, whatdo the routes look like, you know,
because like I said, I generallyI live right next to the campus,
so I'm running through Elmwood Park,i am running by campus all sorts
of you know, all the time. Is there a is that kind of
where you guys are planning on havingthese events on Saturday? Yeah? Absolutely,

(22:37):
So start and finish will be atBaxter Arena. Both for the five
k and ten k we will begoing on Pacific and then you'll be going
around the UNO campus as well.And actually both of them are five k
and ten k courses are certified,so for those avid runners, they are
certified. Oh now that just makesit. It's all the more attractive for

(23:00):
somebody who's maybe trying to get backinto the racing game like me. All
right, sounds good, Sadie.One last time, where can people find
more information and can sign up forthis run or to learn more information about
ways that they can be a partof this absolutely so, you can go
on over to our website at omathsdot com, slash sports slash Mavericks Dash

(23:22):

U and O Maverick Run altogether lowercaseabsolutely awesome. That's this Saturday over there
at the campus of the UNO MavericksSadie Lamplott, thank you so much for
joining us today, Thank you forall the information. Can't wait to see
you on Saturday. Awesome. Thankyou for having me. Yeah, for

(23:44):

Matt I tel told you about this. This is how you break up
your week, right, You gosee some things like tonight, I'm going
to see Pretty Woman over at theOrphium. Yeah, this isn't Julia rob
It's in the movie of that,I believe so. And Roy is it
Roy Orbison who sang the song?Singing the song? Yeah? Yeah?

(24:06):
And Richard gear I think, uhso, I'm excited to do that.
But guess what, then you havesomething else to look forward to, like
I'm gonna I'm gonna go down there. I think I might run this five
k, maybe the ten k.I haven't decided yet. I ran three
miles yesterday with my dogs. Thatwas a bad idea. One dog is
good. The three dogs at thesame time not not as good. How

(24:30):
do you how do you like nottake up the whole sidewalk that I do?
Yeah? I do? And andthen you see people coming the other
direction, and you know, nowall of a sudden, it's a juggling
act, like which leash do Ihave to pull to get them to,
you know, stop jogging on thewrong side of the sidewalk. And then
we did the I ran into aguy who had he was walking the same

(24:52):
direction as me, but I wasgoing faster than him, and one of
my dogs decided they were going togo around him the other way and did
the whole one Dalmatian thing with theleash. Yeah. Yeah, but it
wasn't It wasn't a girl. Itwas it was a dude. And he
was like, oh that was howhe reacted. Yeah, and he was
laughing and stuff, and I wasI had I profusely apologized because you know,

(25:15):
did you take him out? Well, I mean, it's certainly like
I think he saw us coming,so he was a little bit prepared.
But I don't think he actually thoughtthat my dog would go on the other
side of him until the last second. And uh yeah, if he didn't
fall over. But I'm sure hehas a mark on his leg from the
leash. Oh yeah, yeah,it was that. It was like that,

(25:37):
so good thing he's not not letitious. Oh yeah, yeah, it'd
be bad. I don't know.I might take my dog, can you
I should ask can dogs run this? Five K? One of my dogs
be great at it. Yeah,I don't know. All right, anyway,
two forty eight, we'll come backto Tuesday. We got trivia later
on the show. We'll get moreon the news here. We got the

(25:59):
my Orcis articles of impeachment that havebeen delivered to the Senate. They have
made a lot of comments today aboutthat they wanted to be taken seriously by
Senate Democrats. I don't know ifthat's gonna happen. And then, of
course what we're talking about with DonaldTrump as well, and then we also
have to touch on how the Americangovernment feels about escalation between Israel and Iran.
We'll get to all of that andplenty more. You need to stick

(26:19):
around. This is going to bea really fun show, a lot of
information, and you could be apart of it by calling in at four
oh two, five five eight eleventen four oh two, five five,
eight eleven ten. It's news Radioeleven ten KFAB. Emery Songa on news
Radio eleven ten k FAB. There'sa marathon over here. There's a half

(26:41):
marathon over here, and I appreciateall of that. If there's stuff that
you are running in. I cameonto the running game late. Do you
go running? I've ran away fromthings. I've ran two things. I
generally don't run for the fun onfor the fun of it, but I
have in the past I'm more ofa walk a walker. I love a

(27:02):
good long walk. So the fivek walk that they're offering at the Maverick
Run would be right up your alley, right up my alley. Yep,
you'd be down for that. Yeah. I can walk for miles, but
running is different. It's good foryour cardiovascular That's what I've heard. It's
your lungs and your heart in tunewith each other. My heart feels like

(27:26):
it's going to explode when I run. That's part of the point. I
also don't think I've ever had runnershigh. You have to actually run,
Matt. I've ran for miles before. Longest I've ever ran was about eight
miles. I used to be Imean, I used to be quite a
bit of a runner. Okay,So I didn't start running until I was
like thirty thirty one, and thenI actually was like, you know,

(27:49):
I'll give this a try. Ihated it. I hated the training,
I hated the running. And thenI showed it to my first half marathon.
I said, this will be thelast time I ever do this because
this whole experience was awful. Ididn't have fun, I didn't know what
I was doing, you know,and then the half marathon started and you're

(28:11):
there with like five thousand people running, and all of a sudden, there's
like that kick of adrenaline, andthen you see all the people that are
like cheering you on, and thenthey're bringing cow bells and they have signs
for the people they're supporting, andthey're streaming for everybody. And then as
you're on the course, you justlike that just never stops. There's just

(28:33):
people along the course of the wholeway, and you're passing people and you're
seeing things, and all of asudden, you're like, Wow, it's
been five miles already. It feelslike I just got started. And that's
when kind of starts some of thosebrain things start happening where you start reaching
kind of this euphoric state of likeyeah, and then I was like,

(28:59):
oh, I get it now,you just have to stick with it,
and that's what I do. Theracing is actually a huge part of it.
That way, you have something tolook forward to, something trained for,
and then you know that's gonna feelawesome if you're ready for it,
and you you know, properly trainedso you have a good experience. But
anyway, the Maverick run this Saturday. I think I'm gonna be there.
I haven't committed, but I thinkI'm gonna be there. We'll talk a

(29:22):
lot about the news coming up nexton news Radio eleven ten kfab
