Friday 4: What Men Shouldn't Be Wearing

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
We did get a message. They'vegot a message, a Facebook message from
Joe, and Joe said this Emory. I'm driving through Nebraska listening to you
now, and maybe they could havesome huge events at the zoo. They
already have that awesome zoo. Theyneed to plan some big concerts, you
know, some kind of big eventsat the zoo because the infrastructure is already
there. You don't have to wasteyour money on that. You use the
football stadium in Lincoln and have bigconcerts there all summer. Yeah, no,

(00:21):
okay, so the zoo. Thething about the zoo is you have
to monitor like your animals situation,right, Like the whole point of the
zoo is the animals doing big,gigantic events outside of what they already do.
And they're already incredibly inventive and there'sa lot of ingenuity that comes out
of their idea of people. JCColson, who's their communications manager, comes

(00:41):
in here and talks to us prettyregularly and she explains some of the stuff
that they got going on. Theystarted the late Night's promotion or those events
last night, which those are alwaysa fun time. You have the late
nights thing, you have the Halloweenthing that they do, the ghosts and
ghouls or whatever they call it.That was fun. They do Christmas stuff.

(01:04):
They deck the whole thing out inChristmas obviously. I mean I was
there last Friday, JC. Youtook me and my wife around a little
bit, and it was really funto kind of get a little behind the
scenes look at some of the stuffthat was going on. Saw baby bat
eared foxes that were making their debuton their display in the Desert Dome.
That's the kind of thing that we'retalking about here right Like this is the

(01:27):
Zoo does everything they can to highlighttheir animals, but you can't just like
have giant things at a place likethe zoo. And I'm not even sure
if they have like an obvious stagearea that you could fit more than a
few hundred to one thousand people atany one time. The zoo is a
big footprint with the idea that peopleare just kind of spread out throughout and

(01:49):
you don't want to put the animalsin any kind of distress with loud noises
and anything like that. There's areason there's not fireworks displays at the Zoo.
Let me just put it that way. Now, As far as Lincoln
and Memorial Stadium. It's interesting whenthe college campuses are kind of in control
of a lot of that stuff,they can get very picky about that,
right. You know, Creighton hasall their own facility except they use Chi

(02:09):
Health Center Omaha for their men's basketballteam. But they have their own facilities.
They get to control that, youknow, like their soccer stadium is
super cool soccer stadium. And evenif nothing's going on, you know,
like the Union Omaha professional team doesn'tget to use that. They have their
own deal somewhere else because the collegewants to be able to control how all

(02:30):
that stuff works. Well, Idid notice that, you know school I
follow closely as Iyewa State University andnames. For the first time in twenty
years, they had a massive countryconcert Chris Stapleton and George Strait. We're
playing at Jack Trice Stadium and Amesand sold the place out. Just like
we're talking, like sixty thousand peopleor more. We're at this concert and

(02:50):
the school works to put that onin Ames, and I guarantee you it
made a boat load of money.Now these colleges can kind of set up
their own rules with their own facilitieson their own land with their own buildings,
you know what I'm saying. Soyou'd have to work with the University
of Nebraska on Lincoln try to figureout how to make that happen. Considering
how important Memorial Stadium is viewed bypeople in this state, you might get

(03:14):
a little bit of pushback, butthere's definitely revenue to be made. Is
do you get there's no beer inMemorial Stadium? There's no beer? Right,
you can't buy beer there. Therehasn't been historically. Wasn't there something
about that? Though? Are theygoing to potentially could start well to serve
it, or at least there's apossibility there. The door's open for that

(03:34):
to happen. I don't want tosound ignorant, but they might be making
an adjustment to a lot of thatstuff that would tryv Alberts announced with the
renovations of a Memorial Stadium coming upbecause he bolted out of town, Like,
I'm not so sure that anyway.Iowa State. I bring this up
because Iowa State historically is the same. The only place in Iowa State you
can get booze during like football gameshistorically has been in the Souk Up Club,

(03:57):
which is literally where the rich peoplesit. You have to pay a
ton of money to have one ofthose boxes and then you get alcohol.
Joe Schmo's like you and me arepaying fifty bucks a ticket to watch the
Cyclones play on Saturday. Those peopledon't have access to alcohol in the stadium.
How much money do you think they'relosing on that? Kennick Stadium in
Iowa City did the exact opposite.They said, Okay, you know what,

(04:17):
we're moving into a different thing,a different era. We are going
to allow alcohol sell sales in KinnickStadium during football games. And I bet
they're making money hand over fist.How much money is Iowa State making on
that Supup Club boxes? That arepeople that are like, well, this
is the only way I can getbooze. This is just like a bonus

(04:38):
of using this Supup Club box andbuying the boxes that I can get booze
during the game. Or would youthink they'd make a lot more money if
all the average Joe's like us couldhave the ability to buy alcohol throughout And
I still think people would buy theSupup Club box. They're not buying that
for the alcohol, They're buying thatfor the for the seats. They're buying
it for the exclusivity of it.They're buying it because they're donating to the

(05:00):
university. They get a lot ofdifferent perks with it. They get to
drink alcohol in the stadium. Youthink that's the reason why they're buying those
boxes, You're killing yourself because youand me, Matt, we go to
a game, we're pounding like threetall boys? Tall boys, how many
ounces? Is that? Like twentyfour? We're pouding like three of those
in a three hour game. Speakfor yourself. Well, I mean,

(05:24):
okay, so like two, let'sdo two tall boys. Okay, one
for the first half, one forthe second half. We go how much
do you think they could charge fora tall boy at a college football game?
Like thirteen bucks? I mean Iwas gonna say twelve to fifteen Yeah,
okay, and people would buy itbecause you have the ability to drink
beer in the stadium. I'll takeone tall boy, three bathroom breaks.
That's my split. Well, youdon't have to pay for the bathroom breaks.

(05:46):
So here's here's what I'm saying though, Between the two of us,
if we went to a game,we bought our two seats, so you
got a revenue from that, rightand on top of that, Matt,
guess what we just gave you sixtydollars plus tax on alcohol that you're saying
in the stadium for us to drink, we enjoy the alcohol, You get
sixty additional dollars that we have givenyou. Take that times. How many

(06:08):
thousands of people can sit in MemorialStadium on a Saturday. On the topic
of alcohol sales Haymarket Park, sobaseball softball. They did start allowing alcohol
sales at Haymarket Park for university events, including baseball softball. This is from
an article back in April of thisyear. Do not see any information about

(06:29):
that happening at Memorial Stadium. Okay, So that being the case, and
again I hate to be crass aboutthis, but you and how do you
know roughly the thousands of people isat ninety can ninety thousand people? Be
it a memorial for a football gelI want to say it's ninety two.
I know that they're pairing that downwith the latest renovation ideas. Sure sure,
sure well, and obviously we'll figurethat out. Memorial Stadium ninety thousand,

(06:54):
Okay, Okay, roughly ninety thousandfor football for football nine, I'm
not saying every single person they Let'ssay of the ninety thousand that are there,
sixty thousand of them would be eligibleto drink alcohol, and let's say
forty thousand do, and forty thousandpeople buy on average two tall boys per
game. I feel like forty thousandfeels a little high. If sixty are
are available to I would guess aroundfifteen thousand. Probably. Are you think

(07:17):
fifteen thousand of ninety thousand or drinkingbeer at a game? I think so.
Yeah, let's meet in the middlesomewhere. How about twenty three thousand,
twenty three thousand. Let me getmy calculator out twenty three so out
of sixty thousand eligible, twenty threethousand are drinking ish. Well, I
mean, I'm saying sixty thousand peopledo drink alcohol, right, because there's

(07:38):
not thirty thousand kids in there?Oh, I thought you met well,
hold on, so ninety thousand peoplein attendance, Yeah, sixty thousand are
eligible, are of age or ofage and do partake? Ah ooh,
I don't know if I'd say thatsixty thousand, sixty thousand of ninety thousand
are either twenty one or older,and they also drink alcohol in a case,

(08:00):
because there are people that are twentyone and older that don't drink,
and I'm given like ten thousand ofpeople that do that, and the other
twenty are people that are not oftwenty one years older higher. I personally
think there's probably a larger amount ofpeople who are of age but don't fair
enough, especially at especially at ata game. All right, well,
twenty three thousand, Okay, we'regoing to guess some roughly twenty three thousand

(08:20):
people during a Memorial Stadium sellout wouldwant to drink alcohol. I'm going to
average two tall boys per person.I'm going to average that at twelve dollars
a tall boy, So twenty threethousand times twenty four dollars, it'd be
two tall boys is five hundred andfifty two thousand dollars per game. You're
just letting that slide by. Okay, we've gotten so concerned about oh drinking,

(08:45):
oh alcohol. You're throwing a halfmill away per game, potentially because
you don't want to sell alcohol atyour stadium. But I always say that's
the same, Well, twelve orthirteen is not pure profit, right,
Some of that has to go tothe s Okay Fair. That's not profit.
That's just you know, gross incomefor alcohol or for a beer at
twelve dollars a can. Ah.I'm just saying. I'm just saying,

(09:07):
it's there, Okay, you wantto make money, now, that's the
college's money. The same thing withconcerts there. I'm sure the college pockets
a ton of that money. Butyou don't think people would go to Lincoln
and spend money in Lincoln if theyhad a George Strait Chris Stapleton concert of
Memorial Stadium and he packed ninety thousandrabbit country music fans in there, and
then they disperse and go to thebars and restaurants around Lincoln before and after

(09:31):
the show. That's a big moneymaker. I'm just saying, like,
are we protecting the legacy of MemorialStadium a little too much? Probably?
But again I'm not in charge.You have to talk to the University of
Nebraska Lincoln to figure that out.It's four nineteen. If you want to
take part a conversation, you canat four two, five, five,
eight to eleven ten News Radio eleventen KFAB. He's a really good guy
on social media and he's just gottenfamous in written a bunch of books now

(09:52):
and he's the best selling author.But he just put on his X account.
Here's forty things a man should neverwear. I'll give you just a
taste of this. Number one flipflops unless you're near a pool or a
beach. I disagree. I disagreeas well. Number two flamboyant pocket squares,
flamboyant pockets, he says. Allit says is you pay twelve hundred

(10:13):
dollars a month for a car youcan't afford. People are making that assumption
on my pocket square. First ofall, I don't even have a pocket
square. I'm that cheap. Ihave a suit that might be able to
handle a pocket square, but Inever put one in there. That's pompous
anyway, I can't necessarily speak tothat. Number three statement socks. They
don't give you personality, your style. I went to the oscars last night,

(10:35):
the Omaha Sports Commission Awards. Youknow what socks I was wearing,
and it's SpongeBob SquarePants on them withrainbows. Would you say that that is
a what did you call them?Statement socks? That's a statement? I
think so, and my wife likedit. Yeah, they don't give me
personality or style though. Did youshow a little red? Did you show
a little leg on the red carpet? Well? Not intentionally, but you
know, you have to give thepeople what they want, Matt, right

(10:58):
when they're clamoring for it. I'mright there with you. All right.
Here's a couple I think is goingto really hurt you. Number four cargo
shorts. Why what's this guy gottaget? You know what? This guy
has something about pockets. He doesn'tlike extra pockets. I guess I told
you cargo shorts are out though,So this guy's never been carrying a pizza
back to the recliner. I neededa pocket for the ranch. Well,
I mean, Napoleon Dynamite showed usthat, you know, carrying around your

(11:20):
tots isn't always the best idea.In your pockets in your pants, Well,
he could have lined his pocket witha napkin and taken care of that
grease stain. Would that napkin liningin that pocket qualify as a flamboyant pocket
square? Yeah, that's pretty utilitaryand honestly. Number five turtlenecks. Oh
yeah, okay, circumcise that sweater. Hmm. Now that I get with

(11:41):
him on that one, just becauseI hate that feel. I don't want
something up against my neck like that. It's like a really weak guy trying
to strangle you. Yeah. Sorry, I stole that from Mitch Hedberg.
Yeah. No, turtlenecks. There'sa time and a place. You lose
a lot of heat in the neck, do you, And when it's called
outside you can lose a lot ofheat in the neck. I think there's
a time and a place. Idon't wear them. It's not that I

(12:01):
don't like to feel. It's justthe guy from the Despicable Me wears them,
and I don't really like his style, you know what I mean?
How do you pull off a turtleneck? You got to be the guy from
Despicable Me, or you're trying toemulate him. You have to look like
a supervillain of some kind or thatyou're from like the nineteen sixties, or
you get one of those like artisthats, you know, and then yeah,
they just look like a deep thinker. Yeah, there you go.

(12:24):
There are uses for it, justnot real uses. I'll get to more
of this and maybe we can makea Friday four out of this of like
terrible things that people wear that youthink should never be worn. And we'll
do that. As we roll alonghere on news radio eleven to ten kf
it B, you hear all thesestories about crazy people on planes. That
seems like a lot to deal with. I guess now that you think about

(12:45):
that, and where do you go? Like, there's nowhere to go in
that situation. Right, Also,you're traveling all the time. That could
be difficult for relationships. Yeah,but you're traveling. Are you really staying
in a spot because a lot offlight attendants, you know, you're going
to a place and then you're goingback, right like like like there's a
lot of flights to Charlotte or Minneapolisor Atlanta where there's a lot of connections,

(13:07):
wouldn't like some for some people,like your daily job is just like
you make a couple of flights fromOmaha to Atlanta and then back to Omaha
and then that's like your day's worthwork. But how long is the days?
How are your days broken up?I feel like those would be long
shifts. Well yeah, okay,So how long does it take to flight
Atlanta? It's like three hours,right, three hours, a couple hour

(13:28):
layover fly back with you know thesame crew, and that's what you do.
You just do. You fly fromOmaha, you fly to Atlanta,
you fly back to Omaha, andthen you're at at home at night.
Why did they get their own days? Anyone ask that? Everybody's got their
own day? Now, Matt,we just had World Otter Day. Remember,
why do they get their own day? Because they're cool animals and people
deserve to know what they're up to. That's what I think. When is

(13:50):
subpark radio producer day? I wantmy day? I feel like you're gonna
I mean, how many of youare there? I guess that's where we
have to ask. I want acake, I want to party, and
I want to be surprised. Howmany people need to be a subpar radio
producer for you to have your yourown day? Up, he's got to

(14:13):
answer the phone. He's got toanswer the phone. Everybody. We don't
even get to We don't even getto hear from him. I won't even
get to hear from me because onmy day I have to still work.
It's not your day though, it'sflight attendant day. Oh yeah, well
I can I have my own day? Wait? How many of you do
I need? He's that's what I'msaying. Hey, he's got it.

(14:33):
Then he goes and answers the phones. Yeah, okay, well congratulations,
that's good stuff. Yeah. Soin my we got a couple of people
on the phone lines. Are westill kind of doing open phone line Friday?
What do they want to do?They want to talk about your thing?
Well, Don wants to talk aboutflight attendants and Betsy has a Friday

(14:54):
for Okay, Don, let's goahead and tell me about flight attendants here.
What what's on your mind? Don? I think I think the domestic
ones have it pretty rough, butthe international ones, the ones are flight
it England or Europe or they worklike one weekend and then they're done for
the whole week or maybe even sixdays. They they get paid for the

(15:16):
so the entire time they're gone.But there. But yeah, so they're
but they have to stay where theyland, right, Yes, but they
fly back and then they don't workfor like a week and a half or
a week. Now, Yes,this is what I'm saying flight attendance.
You know, they might have todeal with some unruly passengers on flights every
once in a while, but hey, that sounds like fun. You get

(15:37):
to go to a cool place andthen you only work for a couple of
days. This sounds like a goodgig. All right, thanks, don
appreciate it. How many of youdoes there need to be for us to
make a push for you guys tohave your own day. We're all over
the place and we're underappreciated. Arewe sure about this? Yeah? Is
that confirmed? Or are you likebigfoot? You say your subpart. Nobody
else used that qualification. For therecord, I'm a humble man. But

(16:00):
before this comes back to me andeverybody tells me I bully you all the
time, which I didn't. Idid not say at once, I say
he's the best in the business atwhat he does. So that there's that
I can throw that out there.How many of you does there need to
be for us to really have anopportunity to push your own day? Oh?
I would say that the uh toquote to bias fume g there are

(16:22):
dozens of us, literally dozens.Now, I'd say that there's maybe a
couple thousand nationwide. I feel likeI feel like we could make a day
for a couple of thousand people.There is a national radio Day. Did
you know that? Like a radioperson day or broadcaster day or something general?
Oh see broadcasters? Right? Yeah? Well are you a broadcaster?
You're talking on the radio right now? By definition? Doesn't that make you

(16:45):
a broadcaster? I think I'm moreof a Well, we need to qualify
the terms. Which one. Backin the day, you were called the
talent, right? I mean yeah, not as if I'm talented, but
my job was on air talent right? Sure? I feel think these terms
are so interchangeable to you? Whatwould be yours? Producer? Yeah,
well, isn't that what you are? Yeah? But you're also a broadcaster,

(17:07):
am I? You can be both? Do I broadcast more than I
produce? I feel like I producemore than I broadcast. Yeah, but
you might produce more than your broadcast. Doesn't mean you don't broadcast. You're
still broadcasting. You broadcasting right now, like like you're a broadcaster by definition?
As soon as you go on theair. All right, fine,
I will be lumped into that day. All right. I'm glad we resolved
this. Betsy's on our phone lineat four O two five five eight eleven

(17:30):
ten. Betsy, what are youthinking about today? You're Friday four okay,
and you guys were talking about thingsthat you shouldn't wear or things you
shouldn't do, shouldn't wear, orshouldn't wear specifically. Yeah, shouldn't things
you shouldn't wear specifically. Yeah.Okay. One person on one of our

(17:51):
motorcycle phone runs was on a trike, which I give him credit for.
Okay, got off the trike.He was wearing a tank top, bib
shorts that we had cargo pockets onhim. He had on ankle socks and
yellow croc Oh, he's a walkingFriday for, Betsy. You said you

(18:15):
said tank top. Did he haveat least decent arms? Like he was
probably one hundred and twenty five pounds. Oh oh no, now see I
made that mistake one in in Yeah, in cargo shorts and cargo shorts and
a tank top. Yeah, withthe crocs on. Yeah, but the

(18:36):
ankle socks and the yellow crocks.I mean I wear ankle socks. Well,
I don't mind ankle socks, trustme. Ankle socks with crocs is
a mess. Yeah. Like yeah, yeah, Okay, Betsy, that
that guy, That guy's a walkingFriday for. I appreciate you bringing our
attention to this. This is thekind of awareness we need for our people.
You see a guy in a tanktop, cargo shorts and yellow crocs

(18:57):
with ankle socks. Stay, there'snothing good that will come from that interaction,
nobody. Well, of course,this is a bunch of motorcycle riders,
most of them Harley's, and thisguy got off that gold wing trike
and then he was dressed like that. Most of us just walked away from
me. If the trike wasn't enoughto keep the motorcyclist away from you,

(19:19):
it was the tank top, cargoshorts, ankle socks and crocs. That
was really what did the job,all right, Betty, I appreciate it.
Okay, thank you? Yeah,yikes. What do you have to
say for that? Are you?Are you tank? Are you team?
Tank top? Cargo shorts, anklesocks with yellow crocs? Guy, I
don't see anything wrong with cargo shorts. Well, you've already put your foot

(19:41):
in the sand on that one.I think, Yeah, what's wrong with
an extra pocket or too? Okay, let's stop about that. Let's stop
about that. Specifically, I wantto talk number one AA. I want
to talk about the tank top.When you're one hundred and twenty five pounds,
like you could put a tank toptop on. It's fine. One
hundred and twenty five pounds overweight iswhat you're saying. No, hundred twenty
five pounds regularly, that's your realOh, I totally I misheard what she

(20:04):
said. No, it was onehundred and twenty five pounds. Well maybe
she said that. And if hewas a large, large man, then
it's a little different. I thinkit's better to wear a tank to up
when you're a large man than whenyou're a very skinny man. Really,
yeah, because I became incredibly Idon't Okay, look at my shoulders right
now, right, like, thisis what my shoulder will look like,
right you see it? Explain forthe people what my shoulder looks like.

(20:26):
It looks like a shoulder. No, but you have to describe it's I
don't have like big arms, right, Well you got some definition though,
I could like I'm working on it, right, but like five years ago,
I didn't have any of this stuffgoing on. Right. But but
they're like the top of the shoulder, they're like muscles, right, and
deltoids, and then he's the shoulderbone which can be seen by people.

(20:47):
And then you get like a profileangle. There'shoid and then like the the
the width of the arm on theshoulder. Right, If you wear a
tank top and it's just like apipe cleaner, that's a bad look.
Yeah, I see yea, ohyeah. You don't want two very pasty
pipe cleaners hanging down with a tanktop, all right, you're just asking
for people to be like bro,put some sleeves on. I cannot bear

(21:08):
to witness this. And when you'rea little bit heavier. The tank top
does serve its purpose as a coolinginstrument, you know, it keeps you
cool. There's a way to like, you know, make that you're covering
the things that need to be covered, right, even if it's not necessarily
the most what's what's the word I'mlooking for, the most decent, the

(21:30):
most it's it's semi obnoxious. Let'ssay that it's not the most flattering look.
Now, if you're completely underweight,leave the tank tops to the professionals,
the people who actually worked on theirarms. Those are the people that
should be wearing the sleeveless shirts.Don't get any crazy ideas. I learned
the hard way. People made funof me. I haven't touched the tank

(21:51):
top since I'm I'm I like itexacerbates it. I can be shirtless at
the pool. I don't feel nearlyas bad as what I'm wearing a tank
top. You know. You knowwhat? You know who I feel bad
for? The people who are sittingin their cars thinking that they decide what
other people wear. That's who Ifeel bad for. Oh, come on,
you know what. That guy inthe cargo shorts and those and those

(22:11):
yellow crocs in the tank top.He's enjoying his life. He's on his
hog. It was probably a nicesunny day. He was having a great
time with it. You know whathe wasn't thinking about. I wonder what
everyone's thinking about me all the time. Nobody in the history of the world
has called a motorized tricycle a hog. So let's just go ahead and back
it up to that point. It'sa motorized recumbent bike, basically, is

(22:33):
what you're saying. It's not arecompent It's not a recumbent bike as much
as it is just a very verysafe device that makes you feel like you're
on a motorcycle. But it's nota motorcycle. Again, I hate to
be that guy, but mister,I have a trike that I call my
motorcycle. It's a motorized tricycle.I want to know what sturgist people think

(22:57):
about you. I do. It'sAmerica. You could do whatever you want.
I'm not saying what you should orshouldn't do. I'm just saying probably
not the best. Look four Otwo five, five eight eleven tins a
number. We'll get to more ofthis fun stuff here coming up on news
radio eleven ten kfa B. Dwayneis on our phone line. Dwayne,

Yeah, you don't wear socks andsandals outside. What do you think,
Matt? I do that all thetime. It feels great. If you're
furry, don't wear a take top. If you're oh like Harry, Yeah,

(23:41):
if you're Harry, don't wear ataktop. That's kind of fair.
I guess if your end seam isshorter than your waistline, you should not
wear skinny jeans or Span dex uhSpan dex. Yeah, yeah, that
should go without saying, I think, Dwayne, no, I appreciate it.
Thanks to wait for bringing those upfor us today. About it?

in a band back in my twenties. I had some skinny jeans because that
was what you do from the girlssection of Goodwill. And they fit in
all the wrong ways. What inwhat instrument? Guitar and vote and voice?

to. Did you like how theyfelt? No? I like how they
feel? What what? They weren'tmade for me? You know what I
mean? They were all wrong inall the wrong areas. Yeah, that's
where you got to get the guyones. You know, they give you
a little extra space where you needit. I don't think those that came

We've been spoiled rotten all week withsome awesome food that has come in
here, and we had some coolthings coming in today. Matt Case did
you see these? I did?Yeah? How cool is that? Josh

(25:34):
Saye Bulls, two young sisters,Abigail and Audrey Jacobe put together this little
company, little startup, and theydo so many cool little things. The
food was really good today, howabout that? It was? It was
good and I felt so healthy eatingit. It was delicious. I got
the one that had peanut butter,had peanut butter and bananas. And then

(25:55):
I've never heard of josh Saye bowlsbefore. I hadn't either. Yeah,
it's cool josh i E Bowls,Abigail and Audrey Jacobi. This is the
kind of thing that makes you wantto support this stuff though, all these
homegrown businesses and places that we've hadthe opportunity to be spoiled rotten by.
All I can say is thank youto all of them that as they popped

(26:18):
in and I think Frios Gourmet Popscame in today. Did you have one
of those? I have it yet, but there's one in the freezer with
my name on it. Yeah.Yeah, so we're gonna check that out
too. So shout out to FriosGourmet Pops for dropping one of those off
as well. It's great week.Why couldn't every week be a taste of
Omaha week? That's what I hadto say. I agree, Okay,

(26:38):
I was waiting for that. Thankyou for that. It took a while,
but you got there. Five twelve, we were talking about things that
a man shouldn't wear. It's allstarted John Lefever, the best selling author
among other things. Is investment brokeror something who even cares has a list
of forty things a man should neverwear. I got through five of them.
Want to get through a few morebefore we get to the rest of

(27:00):
our list. Yeah, number six, the guilt of your ancestors sins wo,
that's deep. Where did that comefrom? Do people wear that?
How? What does it look like? How do you wear the guilt of
your ancestors? Just wearing like bonesaround? It's like, yeah, the
guilt of my ancestors sins buddy,I don't even know anything about my ancestors

(27:21):
before nineteen forty six, So,like, I mean, thanks for the
update. I wouldn't even know whereto begin with that. You know,
I've always wondered though, how didyou get the name songer? Do you
come from a line of bards?By chance? What is a bard?
Is that a boat? It's likea medieval singer? Oh, I don't
know. My best guess I wentto Ellis Island, right, and they

(27:45):
have like these things that you cankind of like figure out where your name
came from. I went to EllisIsland. I found my great grandfather from
nineteen oh five when he got toAmerica, on my mom's side. But
that's like, that's not the songor part of it, right. I
knew that guy was German because hislast name was brand Hoffer. Now that's
some germanists so on the other endhere. But Songer, I think it's

(28:10):
just kind of like a weird americanizationform of like sang, Like sa Nnge
is probably a German thing. Still, it could be scanned the Navy,
and I don't know. I thinkat sa ng E is probably where it
started, and then it became maybeSanger or something, and then just Songer
probably. I mean, last nameswere fluctuating into the twentieth century in America,

(28:33):
you know, I don't know.I should probably do one of those
ancestry things to see if they couldhelp me out, but I don't know
what guilt they would have. Okay, yeah, I have German ancestors.
Every single German ancestor that I knowof was out of there by the early
nineteen hundred, so I like,you can't even throw the Nazi thing at
me because I was not even likemy ancestors were well gone out of there
before any of that stuff started happening. So they were out of there before

(28:56):
World War one, So I'm exoneratedon that too, to hear any of
it, not to say that therewasn't weird stuff happening to Germany before that.
I'm just saying there's a reason theycame over here. Let's just throw
that out there. Sure, Numberseven a pro sports jersey with another man's
name on the back of it.I'm conflicted on this one. This is
I don't like to do this becauseI don't like it when they go play

(29:18):
for another team, it becomes outdatedvery quickly, unless it's like a legendary
figure. Like if you get aToronto Raptors jersey and it says Carter on
the back for Vince Carter. Okay, he's like the greatest player in the
history of that franchise. Okay,fine, that makes sense to me.
Like legendary player like a Cleveland CavaliersLebron James jersey or Michael Jordan and Chicago

(29:38):
Bulls jersey. Okay, Like Ithink those are cool. But I bought
a Yoan Moncatta White Sox jersey.Yoan Moncatta is the third baseman. He
was once the top prospect in allof baseball, and it's just an absolute
total bust. I couldn't wear thatthing in public now even if I wanted
to. He even still plays forthem, and I'm embarrassed to wear it.
So, like I kind of vowedto my myself. I don't know

(30:00):
if I want to buy another jerseyof any guy, because not just because
you know, maybe it's weird,but just because it becomes so outdated or
you become embarrassed to even own it. Where are you on this, your
sports guy? I've never really Yeah, I'm not really a jersey guy.
I used to have an a Dominicansue jersey and I were it like once,
was it the Nebraska on It wasfor the Detroit Lions. That's the

(30:23):
thing, Nebraska. It might makesense because he's forever a Husker, you
know what I mean? You knowwhat I mean? Yeah, it's different.
It's doing that for a professional feelsa little weird. I don't really
this is for me. I've neverreally seen a place to really where it
makes sense for me to wear that, other than like if you're going to

(30:44):
the game, going to a game, right, or like a watch party
or something, right, yeah,or basketball jersey on the court when you're
playing with friends. I think thatthat makes sense to me. I don't
have any basketball jerseys back to ourtalk or sleeve talk. Yeah, well
they make them with sleeves now Ihate those. That's not a basketball trees,

(31:07):
that's a T shirt, get itright. Number eight facial hair that
doesn't look intentional. Yours looks intentional. Mine does not. Ah, although
I do think I'm kind of rockingthe stubble a little bit better these days.
Yeah, I just got to finda way to keep it like right
here, it's a look, yeah, even though it does just look completely

(31:29):
unintentional. Number nine jewelry. Otherthan watches and wedding rings. The only
thing more disappointing for a woman thanseeing a desirable man with a wedding band
on is seeing a ring on anyother finger. Do guys do that?
A lot of people wear their classring. Do you have one of those?
No? Me either. A necklace. Like a lot of guys rock
the chains these days. I don'tsee anything wrong with it. I don't

(31:52):
know. I feel like if Iput the chain on, my wife would
divorce me on the spot. Yikes. Yeah, just I'm just not that
guy. I don't I'm not Italianenough. Number ten backwards, are flat
brimmed baseball caps or any hat inside. I'm one hundred percent against this.
A backwards hat. Their space forthat. There are places for a backwards

(32:12):
hat. Get out of here withthat flat brimmed baseball caps. I've never
understood the appeal. Now I canget behind that, Like is I think
those are out of fashion now too. Those got in and out of fashion
so quick, those flat bill brims, Like what was the point of those?
And they don't even fit your headright. I never really owned one.

(32:32):
I do remember when they were kindof in for a little bit and
you couldn't let you couldn't bend itto fit your head at all. It's
just like it's just like they're likea board right on the top of your
forehead. Yeah, the only waythat made sense is by wearing a backwards
any hat inside. That's I wearhats in here all the time. There's
no way you could tell me thatthat makes sense. Get out of here

(32:53):
with that. What is this eighteenforty seven? Well, get to more
of this list, and if youwant to call in with things that you
wish men or women would never wear, I would love to hear it.
We're having fun with it today onyour Friday. It's kind of like a
quasi Friday for on news radio elevenTin kfab what not to wear or what
people shouldn't wear, or things thatthey've seen people wear that they're like,

(33:15):
I could go without seeing that everagain in my life. Kelly's on the
phone line at four h two fivefive eight eleven ten, Kelly, what
do you think about this? Hi? I think suspenders if you're not a
farmer, no, And suspenders witha bow tie can be fine if you're

(33:35):
actually ivy league young man or avery distinguished older man. Otherwise don't even
try it. Yeah, So thesuspenders is an interesting one. That's something
that has been out of style forlike what fifty years now, and some
guys like for their wedding and stuffor like bringing them back. I was
adamantly opposed to the suspenders, sayingfor my wedding, it's like everybody's doing

(33:57):
that. It's a lazy trope andit doesn't even look good. No.
No, Now, some men cancarry it off and it's kind of all
right, especially if they were Ivyleague or a very nice looking salt and
pepper elderly man can carry it.Off, but very few people I think
can. And if you're a farmer, sure wear them without a bow tie.

(34:22):
Wear suspenders because you're working on afarm, that's cool. But otherwise
don't even try it. It justwould look so weird, so out of
place. That's just my opinion.I like it. Kelly. Well,
I appreciate you sharing your opinion withus today. Thanks for calling in.
You're welcome. Bye, Thanks Kelly. All right, Matt, I have
to get your take. Suspenders yay, nay? What do you think?

(34:45):
I used to own a couple pairsof suspenders and wear them. I wear
them in a play. Mostly Igot them from a play that doesn't count.
I wore them a couple times outsidethe play, just because I you
know, for special occasions and whatnot, like top ha occasions. Yeah,
yeah, top hat plus suspenders yep, and the bow tie too. Now
see, Kelly would not have likedthat. Do you have the okay,

(35:07):
so your facial hair you can dothe facial hair thing. Do you like
mess around with the facial hair togo with it? If you know,
Hey, I got like a familyreunion. I want to show up in
the top hat, suspenders in thebow tie. Do you get the facial
hair on point for that as well. You do go with the big bushy
mustache, with the top hat,the bow tie, the suspenders. I

(35:28):
think, uh, what was hername, Kelly? Kelly. I think
I'm the one who wrote that inthere. I remember. I think Kelly
would have considered me a distinguished gentleman. She said that was an exception.
Yeah, she said that was anexception. So uh, fair enough,
fair enough the top. Pat probablyputs it over the top for her.
I'm guessing Christie's on her phone linefour h two five five, eight eleven
ten, Christy, what do youthink? Hey? How you doing?

(35:52):
Happy weekend? Yeah? Uh,I was just gonna say. So,
women that both eyelashes, it lookslike you've got trantlas and your eyes.
It bothers me and it puts meunder pressure. Why do I put you

(36:13):
under pressure because you're afraid that theyhave spiders on their eyes? No,
No, I'm just not a falseeyelash. Uh. Where some of these
I mean they reached all the wayup, like past your eyebrows. What's
the point? I don't know.That's a good Well, that's the thing.

(36:34):
I think a lot of the fashionstuff that we've talked about is just
generally unnecessary. If you like theway that you look, I'm not going
to judge you on it. I'mjust wondering why you think you look good
like that? You know, well, yeah, no, if I were
to meet somebody and say, oh, where where's your eye? I can't
the forest here? You have aneye? Sure you figured that it would

(37:00):
be like a danger or something.You know, you might get that thing
caught on something and a rip youreyelid right on. That's a cornea,
yeah, something, that's crazy.Yeah. I didn't know you could pick
your nose with your eyelashes until Isaw that. Lady. Anyway, Wow,
there, Thanks CHRISY appreciate you callingin all right, God have a
great weekend. Yeah you too.We'll get to a couple more calls here

(37:22):
in a second when we come back. But first I wanted to get to
a couple more of these Matt pleatedor cuffed pants. I feel like cuffed
pants for jeans at least people arelike, yeah, yeah, but I've
never understood that. I always thoughtit looked kind of weird, cuffed pants.
I feel like that was in fora little bit. It is definitely
not. I think some people aretrying to bring it back. Oh,
cuffed pants with suspenders and a bowtie. Now you look like that Erkle

(37:44):
people do that. That's Erkle.Yeah, but that that look is kind
of in right now, Urkle,Steve Arkle, Yeah, Dak look is
in a little bit. Yeah,I hate society number twelve sneakers with a
suit. He says, it's agood look for one percent ofm in but
you're not, David Beckham. Iam one hundred and ten percent. I
was at the oscars last night,which I need to talk more about.
By the way, it was anamazing night, the Omaha Sports Commissioned Awards,

(38:08):
and I'll talk to about that alittle bit. But you know what,
Matt, A ton of these guysthat got these awards, or even
the guys that were in the Hallof Fame, are wearing tennis shoes with
their suits. I think. Idon't want to I don't want to call
anybody out on the air, butI think igmanned by the name of Jim
Rose was wearing tennis shoes with hissuit, and it's like a thing everybody's

(38:30):
doing now, And I'm like,what happened in nice shoes. What did
we do to the nice shoes?Yeah, you gotta manicure them a little
bit. Yeah, you gotta likebuff out like any issues you might have.
You have to update them as youknow, like if they get scuffed
up too much. That was partof the thing. And now and now

(38:52):
everybody's wearing their tennis shoes with theirsuits. It's baffling to me. Anyway,
we'll get to more calls. Ifyou got a thought on stuff that
people should or shouldn't be wearing.Where that we have become your fashion radio
show. We never thought that wouldhappen. Will it happen today? On
International Flight Attendant Day No Less Callingat four oh two, five five eight

(39:14):
to eleven ten on News Radio eleventen kfa B. What men and women
shouldn't be wearing if you're seeing peoplewearing them. I don't want to hear
anything about the versatility of this thisradio program. I don't And that's why
we're having fun. We're smiling anduh lou Op. Lou Op is on
the phone line at four oh two, five five eight eleven ten. Lou

(39:35):
Op, thanks for being on theshow. What do you got on your
mind? First memory? I certainlyenjoy your show. I'm always listening to
you and mad really enjoy you guys. Okay, stretching your stretching your imagination.
I'm bringing up spandex M for everyone. I think it's I think it
should be licensed because you're grossly oldbesshouldn't have to wear it. They should

(40:01):
be arrested. And for the peoplewho really work out, I want to
thank them because it's really black spraypaint for fashion. Black spray paint.
Some people look great, but someof the span decks I see around town
is tighter than black spray paint.Okay, well, loop, Okay,

(40:23):
So a couple of things on this. Okay, First of all, you're
seeing large people wear span dex.Is that something that you're seeing out there?
Yeah, I'm saying that when you'reat Walmart or the grocery store and
you see somebody's stomach or area aboutbelow their navels sticking out farther than their

(40:44):
knees, maybe they should not wearspan dex. Well, Louopa, I'm
just glad that I'm not personally witnessedto this, because I mean, everybody
has the right to do what theywant to do. I'm just glad I
haven't necessarily seen that type of infractionand on in my own with my own
eyes to this point. Well,yeah, because it comes. It's one

(41:06):
of the it's the third type ofbirth control. You have chemical birth control,
you have physical birth control, andthis spandex uh epidemic leads to visual
birth control. Well, I guesswe'll have to look back and see,
Louop, if there's actual evidence thatthat is actually happening, is preventing people
from having babies. Well, we'llbe on the lookout for that. Thanks

(41:29):
for the call, buddy. I'llbe calling you many more times, and
I'll keep it always appropriate. Thankyou, Thanks buddy. Then I keep
it always appropriate. Yeah, wellwe are of the barely appropriate. I
mean, Matt Case, how howoften per show do you think you almost
hit the dump button? It's atleast like two and a half times per
show. It's sometimes it's me too, It's not even just the caller.

(41:54):
Sometimes I accidentally let something slip andyou you like you like, I see
that hand reach like as if I'mabout to say it, but I catch
myself, catch yourself. Yeah,you know, it's a delicate balance.
I suppose Hey, you know whatleuap before ye cast ye stones. What

(42:14):
do you look like at spandex?Huh, Well, that's the thing.
He made the conscious decision not towear spandex. It's a decision to you
know. Sometimes what's the thing Idid help me out? The discretion is
the better part of valor. That'swhat I'm looking for. Ah, you
know, you gotta make your choices. Yeah. See, now you wear

(42:35):
jeorts and the cargo shorts despite whatthe fashion world's telling you because you feel
like they look good on you.And I kind of tend to like if
there's somebody to pull it off,you are kind of the guy I couldn't
do it. It's not a thingthat I can do. So you know
what I don't do. I don'twear them because I know it will look
stupid on me. You gotta standwith a wider stance. If you're wearing

(42:55):
a nice, big pair of jorts, you gotta have a wide stance outside
the shoulders. Uh. Yes,Oka kind of have a wide stance.
You got to put your hands behindyour back. Oh, and you got
to kind of look like you're justkeeping things together. Puffing up, puff
it up, puff it up,square up that chest and maybe a pair

(43:15):
of shades, but don't put themon your eyes, put them behind you,
facing the other wing the other way. Oh okay, so this is
like Genco Magazine nineteen ninety eight style. And then every time people pass you
on the street, you say,move along, move along? Oh is
that you think? How long doesit take until like an eight year old
kicks me right in the nuts?For me, it's been usually like four

(43:36):
or five minutes. Kyle's on thephone light it for two, five,
five, eight to eleven. Thin, Hello, Kyle, it's up.
More should be wearing suspenders, morepeople. Yeah, suspenders have always been
more in style than plumbers. Crack. Well, okay, now that's fair

(43:57):
when you compare it relative to plumberscrack. Kyle. Of course, I'm
gonna agree that suspenders are a goodidea, But what about belts. I
feel like we've we've graduated from thesuspenders to the more fashionable and a lot
more versatile belts. Well, somemen, some men don't have butts to
hold up the belt. You gotto use your shoulders, that's true.

(44:19):
Hank Hill had diminished glutes. That'sthat's a pretty good point. Actually.
Okay, all right, Kyle,you win fair enough. Thanks for the
call. Thank you all right.James on a phone line four two,
five, five, eight eleven toten, James, what do you got
to say about all this? Theyhave farmed for many years and I have
never worn suspenders. I don't.I just I mean, they're all right,

(44:42):
but I don't see any reason towear them. I just wear blue
jeans. And as far as someof the other stuff that you've mentioned,
it means that I have to washmy brain out just fandags. They be
sent to purgatory and I'm not evencareful. Look, hey, this is
the thing, James. I prefacethis conversation with the disclaimer that this is

(45:07):
America, and everybody can choose todo what they want to do. We
also have the right to look inand say, you know what, that
probably is in a good look orit's not a look that I would like
to have for myself. Again,I've learned a lot of these lessons the
hard way. I'm just saying,you know, like from where I'm sitting,
you know, I try to beI'm not it sounds stupid. People
meet me for the first time,they look at what I look like and

(45:28):
they're like, dude, what's whatthe hair, And it's like, I
just go for it, you knowwhat I mean. Like the hair I've
gone for because I can grow agood head of hair. But as far
as the way that I dress,I am incredibly conservative. Like today I'm
wearing a Baltimore Orioles T shirt anda pair of black golf golf shorts with
my running shoes, you know whatI mean, Like nobody's gonna look at

(45:51):
me and be like, well,that guy, he's an idiot. The
only thing that people can do thatis, you know, like if they're
offended by long hair on a man, I guess I can see that.
And and what you described isn't isn'tfar off from what I wear sometimes.
So the other thing you were talkingabout wearing your guilt, well I could
wear a lot of jiled if Iwanted to. Some of my ancestors were

(46:13):
on the wrong side of the Salmwitch Craft trials, and on my mother's
side of the family, they wereViking in portions in the outer hebrides.
Oh well, James, the factthat you're still alive right now is you're
going to get some people riled upby you saying this. Hopefully people don't
go out and try to find youwith pitchforks and torches. I know I'm

(46:35):
worry about that, or maybe thatthere's a curse put on me and that
one of these generations I'll be allwiped out. Well, James, just
keep listening to us and we'll letyou know when that's happening. Okay,
Okay, thanks man, appreciate it. Laura's on the line, Laura that
you'll be our last caller today.What's up? Hey, So in Nebraska,
how come you don't see many menhave their toenails painted with their sandals.

(46:59):
I think it's cool toenails painted withthe sandals. Well, this is
the thing, okay, So solike like different colors or or just painted
in general. So I know agentleman at the campsite you got his toenails
painted. I think you're cool.I don't know how many people men in

(47:20):
like California, of course, orFlorida get their toenails painted. But I
don't see much here in Nebraska,do you No? I don't. And
this is the thing, Laura,you know, this is the guy.
I'm a Bears fan, a ChicagoBears fan, and our quarterback that we
just drafted. Caleb Williams is likegoing to be an amazing player. But
a lot of people are like,I don't know about Caleb. He paints
his fingernails, but he paints likedifferent like messages and stuff on his fingernails,

(47:44):
and he's, you know, theCalifornia guy now, but he went
to College of California at Southern California, and it's just like, you know,
it's different, you know, differentdifferent strokes for different folks, I
guess. And you know, aslong as he can go throw a good
football and win a bunch of gamesin a Super Bowl for my Chicago Bears,
he can paint his fingernails toenails.He can you know, pierce his
ears. He can pierce his nose, he can get a tattoo across one

(48:07):
of his eyeballs if he wants,Like, I'm totally down with it.
As long as we win football games, you know what I'm saying. I'm
just saying, it's a huge marketfor men. All right, Well,
maybe I can get Matt to trythat out and see how that goes.
Who do you think Matt painted paintedtoenails? Always thought, Oh, I
was gonna say, also before youcut a cutout, Go Baltimore. Yeah,

(48:27):
yeah, go Orioles. Yeah,I'm repping the os right now.
Yeah, old schoolial Thanks, havea good one. Thank you you too.
You like my Baltimore oriol shirt.Bett, that's a cool logo.
That's one of the best ones forsure. It's the old school cartoon bird
swing a big old baseball Bat's kindof funny. Anyway, what do you
think painted toenails, wearing sandals andyou walk around Nebraska and tell us how

(48:52):
it goes? Okay? Can Iget an endorsement? Yeah? I mean
what kind of endorsement? A sandalendorsement, or ingerdail endorsement or a Polish
endorsement, all of the above.Okay, Well, if we can figure
out how to get a hold oflike one of the Polish companies, then
maybe we can make that happen.Five forty eight will wrap up the show.
I want to tell you about mynight at the Oscars last night,

(49:12):
and also I want to tell youhow you can follow me on social media
because we were going to get youin the weekend and I'm probably gonna be
posting some stuff and I want toconnect with you. On news radio eleven
ten kfab I wanted to shout outthe Omaha Sports Commission, the OSCARS,
their annual award show has was yesterdayand it was just incredible. And guess
who was at my table? MattWho because they was assigned seating. So

(49:34):
you I was invited by our friendLindsay Tucson Brown of the Omaha Sports Commission,
and she sat me at a tableof Nate Olson, who's the Millard
South wrestling coach. He won MaleCoach of the Year and they have a
dynasty, one of the best wrestlingschools gosh, and the entire Midwest,
maybe even in the country. Andsitting literally right next to me at the

(49:55):
table is one Jordi Ball Cool theAll American National Softball Player of the Year,
and she was there. She wonFemale Amateur Athlete of the Year as
well. Wow. And I mighthave put a plant in both of their
ears that they might, you know, have a radio show if they wanted
to hop on sometime this summer.We might be able to talk to them.

(50:15):
So Jordi Ball's got an amazing story. Obviously, she just transferred to
Nebraska unfortunately tore racl early in theseason. But is said, you know,
I can't wait to wear that inin twenty twenty five and you know,
win a bunch of softball games forthe Huskers, so rocking the brace
or anything. Oh no, she'sshe was seemingly mobile. Yeah, I
mean obviously, I'm sure working outis a little bit different than you know,

(50:36):
in playing hardcore softball like she does. And she's a pitcher too,
so you really need those legs absolutely. So yeah, she was. She
was awesome, super nice young ladyand we're excited to potentially chat with her
sometime in the future on this radioprogram. Follow me on all social media's
Facebook, x Instagram. You'll findme there. Just search Emory Songer eleven

(50:57):
