Episode Transcript

(00:00):
So tonight is Pat Jay Jack's lastshow on Wheel of Fortune. Pat say
Jack, Yeah, he goes this, uh, and the price is right
today one of the dudes got hisshowcase within a dollar, like he had
you know how they do the showcase. Yeah, and it's like five or

(00:20):
six different things that they bundle togetherand you have to come up with the
value of what the bid is.And again, like I'm sure like there
are some people out there that arelike, oh yeah, like there are
systems to figure this out, butthey've adjusted those. Like there's a documentary
out there of somebody who like studiedthe prices right so much that they knew
exactly what the pricing like patterns wereand went on the game show and like

(00:44):
did really really well with the pricing. Well they have since like really messed
with it in the last ten tofifteen years, so there's really no like
rhyme or reason. Well, thisguy, I don't exactly know what all
was in the there's a car inthere somewhere, and there's a bunch of
other stuff and his bid was thirtynine thou five hundred dollars and the price
ended up being thirty nine, fourhundred and ninety nine dollars. No,

(01:06):
wait, five hundred and one dollars. Five hundred and one. Well yeah,
so it's uh, if you goover, you lose, right,
So that's the way you wanted togo. Yeah. Yeah, So it
ended up like he was within adollar, so he gets both showcases.
Because if you're within I think it'slike five hundred dollars or something, then
you get not just yours, butyou get the other one too. See,
if I was him, I wouldhave said four ninety nine because who's
pricing their car at five oh one? Right? Well, and it's like

(01:27):
five things, right, so theycould like, oh I totally fudge factor
the price on all that stuff,you know what I mean? Right,
Well, this guy basically falls overwhen he finds out that he won both
showcases. It's pretty cool. Whatwould that feeling be like for us?
Like, what would we have todo to feel that way? When like
eighty five thousand dollars worth of prizeson a game show on national television and

(01:51):
then on social media, it's goingto just go over all over the place.
I'm just like, what is thatequivalent for us? Do we have
to get on the game show?Is there something in our life that we
can and you know, you knowwhat I'm saying, like, is there
something out there that we can pursueto feel that way? Like that's an
out of body experience for that guy. Yeah, winning big, you know,
I'd love Hey, let me putthis out there. See how the
universe grabs it. I'd love towin a lot of money. Is that

(02:14):
right? Yeah? Just wanted tosprinkle that into the universe. See what
happens. So you'd love to wina lot of money. I'd love to.
Some people maybe not, but me, I'd love to win a lot
of money. How would you goabout trying to win a lot of money?
Well, I'd have to start enteringsome of these contests like the lottery.
Yeah, is that what you're thinking? I've done that. The problem
with that is I can't help it. I start thinking about it. I

(02:37):
start start thinking about what life wouldbe like with, you know, like
one hundred and seventy five million dollars. I start dreaming, you know,
and it's fun. But at thesame time, there's always that moment when
you check the numbers and you're like, what was I thinking? Like,
you get two numbers in and you'relike, I've already lost. Yeah,
you get two numbers in and you'relike, I'm maybe one the value back

(02:59):
of this. Take it. I'venever won a dollar, but that's because
I buy the ones where you're kindof like all in or all out,
you know, Yeah, you don'twin a little bit. You're either in
for the big one or not.Not like the power ball, where if
you get like one or two ofthe numbers right, then it's like you
get two dollars back. Oh okay, yeah, right, okay, yeah,
yeah, you obviously haven't played.No, I've only played a few
times. And it's only when thewhen the lottery gets real big and it

(03:20):
starts hitting the news, you know, right, And that's like when everybody's
playing, right, which just makesit go up even more as an exponential
rate. Right, I don't know, man, what do you think?
Like? Uh ever tried the casinos? I did that once. That was
a really quick way to lose.I think it was fifty bucks. What
did you do? Roulette? Ilike Roulette? Yeah, I like Roulette.

(03:43):
I went I went to uh Vegasonce and I basically played Roulette and
nothing else. Like I hate slots. I hate slot machines. There's just
like, you can't tell me thatthe slot machines actually like are not computerized
to never let me win. Iknow that there's like regulations on those,
but I just my brain can't getaround the fact that this thing is probably

(04:04):
just going to make me lose.Slot machines no good blackjack. I Blackjack's
the kind of game that I justfeel an inordinate amount of pressure to play.
You know, like when you're sittingat the table, you look around
and all these people that generally arethere just like know how to play the
game and know what every single personis supposed to do, and that scares

(04:28):
me all to heck. Where thelady next to me is like she's sitting
on a couple of cards and shehits, and then it comes to me
and I'm not thinking about what shejust did, but apparently all these people
are really good at the game,and it's like, well, I got
like a fourteen, I'm gonna hit. And some of them are just like,
oh, you idiot, or youknow, like you're not supposed to
do it like that, because they'reall just like we play as a table

(04:50):
to try to beat the dealer,And I'm like, how do you there's
like seven decks of cards and they'regetting shuffled all the time, Like,
how how can you possibly know whatthe next card is? This isn't a
real like fifty two debt, youknow card deck of cards? Like what
are we talking about here? SoI just feel too much pressure. So
that's why you go to roulette.Oh, in poker, I'm not very
good at poker, so I don'twant to get like destroyed by the guys

(05:14):
who are really good at poker.So I go to the roulette table.
And there's two different kinds of rouletta. So there's a computerized roulette. Have
you ever tried one of those whereit's just automated. It's like this spinning
table in there, and then there'sa ball that they shoot in there.
It's like it's like without a likeit's all computerized and it's all without a
dealer, which is, you know, pretty crazy. I like the ones
where I actually have to put thechips on the table and then the dealer

(05:35):
has to spin the ball, youknow what I mean? M h.
And in Vegas, I went ona couple of heaters at different points and
just had a great It was agreat time I won like eight hundred bucks.
I tried to replicate that success whenI got back home to Iowa after
that. It didn't go as wellas I was hoping it would. And
I basically feel like I have retiredfrom from the roulette game. Have you

(05:58):
ever tried the horses? Though?You're not gonna get like rich rich off
the horses immediately, but you canmake some good money if you play enough.
M It's just not really my thing. What what about the sports gambling
stuff? I've thought about it,but I just put like same game parlays
together and see if you can't,like make seven hundred bucks on one game.
Just generally speaking, it's just notmy thing, you know, I
don't know I've thought about it before. Sure I like sports, I follow

(06:21):
it to a certain degree. Butso what you're saying is you want to
win a lot of money, butyou're not willing to play a lot of
the stuff in order to win alot of money. Well, let's not
make this first segment about me.I was just saying that it's fun to
have a lot of money, andif anyone wants to give me a whole
lot of money for no reason,yeah, if you find somebody who's willing

(06:42):
to do that. You got tolike let me know so I can try
to like cozy up to them too. So their name rhyme with Borin Wuffett
by chance? Oh yeah, ohyeah, old born Wuffett. You know
Borin Wffett. Is that the thatGerman guy comes around here ever once in
a while, wears wooden shoes,lots of cat, lots of cash.
Yeah, yeah, he's an interestingguy. That boring with it? Two

(07:04):
sixteen. It's open phone line Friday. If you got if you want to
talk about ways you would be willingto win a bunch of money, or
you got something else more serious you'dlike to talk about on this Friday.
The phone lines are open for youat four oh two five five eight eleven
ten. Four oh two five fiveeight to eleven ten. Love to chat
with you on news radio eleven tenKFA B. What can you tell me
about that? Is this something thatOmaha needs to be looking out for,

(07:25):
especially those over there at the overthere at the summer arts festival down there
in the Exarbent village. Here welooking at some severe weather, is what
I'm trying to say. Yeah,there is a we're in the the graphic
that I'm looking at right now hasus in the yellow portion there, which

(07:46):
is level three, right, levelthree risk potentially for this right level level
three possibility of some high speed windsand possibility of some fairly large hail one
point five inch in diameter possible andin fast moving storms between six pm and
eleven pm. Okay, So andthis this would this looks like it's covered

(08:09):
covering a lot of like the likecentral to southeastern part of Nebraska in general.
Right, Yeah, And just recently, a severe thunderstorm watch was issued
for Antelope, Boone, Knox,Madison, Pierce, and Platte County until
nine pm. So not Douglas,but you know that's that's up there in

(08:31):
the little to the northwest of US, northwest of US. Yeah, yeah,
okay, so that's a severe thunderstormwatch until nine Okay, Well,
I suppose that's something that we're goingto have to pay close attention to as
the day goes on. We willgive you all of the updates here live
on news radio eleven ten KFAB.Now it is open phone line Friday,

(08:52):
and if you want to call us, you can four oh two five five
eight eleven ten four oh, two, five, five, eight, eleven,
ten. And if if you knowyou don't want to call or talk
about anything, that's fine. I'lltalk about the stuff I want to talk
about. Let's go ahead and start, first of all with the Hunter Biden
trial, which wrapped up its firstweek. They already the prosecution's already done.

(09:13):
They already have talked to everybody theywant to talk to. They have
rested, if you will, atleast in the witnesses they are planning to
call on Well, Hunter Biden's defenseteam now is going to jump in,
and the big question would be whetheror not he's going to actually testify.
Now, ordajourned pretty early today,it was gosh before one o'clock hour time,

(09:39):
but defense attorney Abby Lowell said thathe's going to decide over the weekend
if he's going to call Hunter tothe stand. Matt, what do you
think is that something that he thinksabout? Or does Hunter say, please
call me to the stand, orplease don't call me to the stand.
Why wouldn't he have a decision madeon this already, Like were they waiting

(10:01):
to hear the testimony of the otherpeople to see whether or not they would
need Hunter to testify or whether ornot they'd want to testify. It feels
like, again, I'm not aprocedural guy. I don't know what the
procedures are like. But the factthat he still hasn't decided yet whether or
not he wants to call Hunter tothe stand, it's pretty interesting. So
that was his lawyer saying he hasn'tdecided yet. He hasn't decided yet.

(10:22):
He's going to decide over the weekand if he's going to call Hunter to
the stand. So they could meanthe Hunter wants to but the lawyer gets
final say yeah, because we talkedabout it in the Trump trial too,
Like there wasn't a lot that couldhave been Like Donald Trump going under oath
could have been a very dangerous propositionbecause if anything, like you know,
how many people would have been justtearing apart word by word structures of sentences

(10:43):
just to make sure if he saidanything that's even kind of false that he
would have known about, they're goingto try to get him for perjury.
Like there's just like there's not anythere's a lot more to lose than there
is to gain by you doing this. Yeah, that could have been a
bad situation. Now this particular situation. Some of the testimony we've heard this
week sound pretty like how is hegoing to get out of this? Like

(11:05):
will it help him at all togo on the on the stand to kind
of like rebut some of the stuffthat we've heard already, right, And
then you know what happens after theyget done asking him some questions themselves.
There's a cross examination. So theprosecution, who's sitting on this the whole
time, I mean, whether ornot he goes up there, they have
their strategy of, oh, ifhe goes on the stand, like we're
going here, here, here,and here on him, and you know

(11:28):
they're just gonna like pepper him,and you have to be willing to like
let that happen. Also, whathe's going to like plead the Fifth Amendment
when the prosecution cross examines him.That's probably a nasty look too. You
can't incriminate him because he's don't sayanything, but it's just kind of like,
come on, man, seriously,you'll talk to your lawyer, but
you won't talk to anybody else.Well, and I don't see what would

(11:48):
be the upside. What's he goingto get up there and say. They
have a lot of stuff there whenhe's just going to get up there.
And they have the text messages rightthat he sent his lover his sister in
law slash girlfriend, which is stillweird to say, but they have the
messages, like unless he says hewas lying or speaking like facetiously or vociferously

(12:11):
or other large words, or ifsomebody stole my phone and texted this well,
and she said that he would jokewith around with her by texting from
his ex wife's phone number, Likehow did he? Who does that?
How did he? How did hemake that happen? I don't know,
Like, and now you're going tosay, oh, she's got it all
wrong, Like didn't it say thathe's he would text her from his his

(12:33):
X was it his ex ex wifephone and say like, oh, I'm
gonna come beat you up. Iwhat a weird guy. I mean,
if I was his lawyer, Iwould say, don't you dare get near
a mic? Yeah, I can'ttrust a thing about you. Yeah,
it's you're right. I mean,like, why would you call him to
the stand, Like what are yougoing to gain from that? You're probably
just gonna lose a bunch. Iwould say, both of these big old

(12:54):
trials are similar in that sense.Yeah, and nothing to gain, everything
to lose. But you know what, it would be great entertainment. I
mean, if we're just going togo full on television show here, they
have to testify it for making aTV show about it, Like if they
ever make a movie about the Trumptrial, just this one, just this
specific trial, they have to likemess with it a little bit to put

(13:16):
him on the stand somehow, right, because that's what Hollywood wants, like
for entertainment purposes. He's got togo up there and just start saying stuff.
I don't know. It depends onhe's making the movie too, because
they're going to want to make somepeople will want to make him look really
dumb, and some people want tomake him look like he's really the good
guy and he got a raw endof the deal. And that's why you
can't trust Hollywood. He's like adoctor whatever they want. Two twenty eight.

(13:37):
If you want to call in youwant to talk about Hunter Biden,
whether or not he should, youknow, jump on to the stand,
or whether or not it's a goodidea for him to jump on the stand.
You totally can't. I would loveto chat with you. You can
call us about anything, honestly,because it's open phone line Friday four two
five five eight to eleven ten isthe number. Four h two five five
eight eleven ten. We'll chat withyou as the show rolls on on he's

(14:00):
ready of eleven to ten kfab butthey actually call him to the stand next
week when the defense takes control ofthat sort of thing. We don't think
so. We think it probably doesn'tmake much sense, but it'll be interesting
to see what happens with Joe's onthe line. Joe, welcome to the
show. What's up? I justthink it's hilarious that he said he has
a superpower that he can find crackanywhere he goes, And it's just hilarious

(14:24):
that, like, if he did, he should be working with the police
to help fight that crime, butinstead he's gobbling it all up. And
what I was going to finish thatwith is that Saturday Night Live, although
they wouldn't would be hilarious to seethem make fun of him and they could
call him the crack count. Yes, yes, yes, I'm in Yeah,

(14:50):
Joe, that's great, Thank youfor sharing that with us. Now
we're going to be thinking about howwe can pull this off exactly, all
right, buddy, Thanks, havea good day. Thanks. Yeah,
okay, So let's talk about itfor a second. So so you have
Hunter Biden, and he is crackhunter, but he's also like his name's
Hunter, which is funny, andhe's hunting for the crack. But then

(15:13):
instead of like finding it and likehelping them bust people, he finds it
and he just wants to you know, he's trying to use and then like
they could get a phone calls like, helly, you'll never believe this.
I found more, you know,but he always does it before the police
get there. He's like, ifyou could get here in the next six
minutes, I won't smoke this crack. Have you seen Anchorman two? Yes,

(15:43):
where they're in they're on natural televisionand they's like, so today we're
investigating on this story about crack andthen you know, it's like it's it's
funny. And then they're like holdingup signs don't smoke crack. Ah.
Yeah, I don't think we shouldbe laughing about this, but you know
what we are. Sue us Steve'son our vot line four oh two,

(16:07):
five, five, eight, eleven, ten, Steve, you got something
on your mind today. I'm stilllaughing overcraft enter anyway. That's that's that's,
that's the speaking riot. I don'twant to not to change the subject,
but I have been trying to askout there for quite some time regarding
the border situation. Uh, itcomes in, he's going to, you

(16:29):
know, deport people. Okay,we already have a law, you know,
e verify. Why don't we votelaw for employers, for ms and
for end owners you know, uh, properties and all that kind of stuff.
Why don't we just make it mandatoryfor them they access to all that
to go home. Yeah. No, And see, I appreciate it.

(16:52):
You're cutting in out a little bit, but I know what you're saying.
Then I appreciate the call, buddy. So it's an interesting question personally.
I grew up in a town southeastIowa that has a meat packing plant and
some other businesses that really utilize foreignworkers a lot. Like immigrant workers.

(17:14):
There was no way from just likea neighbor's standpoint that you're just like,
oh, yeah, these are legalor illegal immigrants. I was young,
I had no idea, right,but there was a kid, like one
guy, he had a kid thatwas in my grade and we were in
school together. Liked him, reallycool guy, and just one day randomly
his dad was gone. They likearrested him and they send his dad back

(17:36):
home. I was under the impressionthat he then was here illegally. I
don't know how long he had beenhere illegally and what created that, like
him being the next on the targetlist to be able to do this.
Now, this is a while ago. I mean, this is probably fifteen
years ago. But the point thatI have on that is, if you're

(17:57):
really going to address the problem,you have to hold people accountable who have
come into this country. If youdo have the ability to identify them,
then do it. Unfortunately, withthe way that capitalism is Steve and anyone
else wondering what I mean, youcan have there are penalties out there for
businesses who are operating and basically likegiving money to illegal immigrants if they don't

(18:21):
have the proper documentation. But thereare some businesses that at least I have
seen, and again small tiny townMidwestern cities that have a lot to gain
by employing those people at smaller prices. They can get the workers they need
pay less money than they would needto to be competitive with American workers and

(18:41):
have the ability to have a littlebit more leeway room with their bottom line.
That's just kind of It's not likewe are rewarding people for breaking the
law, but in a sense,it's almost like, hey, when these
foreign workers come across the border andwe don't have them become citizens or anything
you want to talk about, itaffecting the economy of the cities around there.

(19:06):
It's hard to find a lot ofwork. I guess the unemployment rate
is based on the way that it'smeasured. And again, I don't want
to be the guy that acts likean expert on this, but there's a
lot of people that say, well, it's not being majured correctly. Well,
in the way that they are measuringthat number, it's not a bad
number. But if somebody is lookingfor jobs or they are looking for opportunity,

(19:26):
there's a chance to some of thesecompanies that are smaller that need workers
hiring these illegal immigrants because they canpay them a lot less money. That
can affect the local economy in thatway as well. There's also a simulation
of the economy that a lot ofpeople, I mean, we've had people
argue for illegal immigration with the ideathat it stimulated, like it will stimulate

(19:48):
the economy by just having people thereto buy stuff. But they need money
to buy stuff. So how arethey achieving the money. Well, they
are going to have to work insome way, and they don't generally,
as far as I know, buya whole lot of stuff our their own
businesses. And that's not terrible forthe economy, right, But again,
it's just one of those things thatwe need to understand all of the different
aspects and effects of illegal immigration.And one of the things is, yeah,

(20:11):
we can close the border off nowand we can make sure that the
border is it's not gonna get worse, But that doesn't fix the problem as
it was happening for the last threeyears. So that goes to Steve's point
of trying to figure out ways tocatch it and then send back the people
that are here illegally that are goingto be waiting eight to nine years for
a court day, which again,like, what is even the point of

(20:33):
having rules at that point? Ifthat's what you think is a good idea,
it's just it's not something I findto be a good idea. Pretty
interesting, but appreciate the call,Steve. If you if you have thoughts
on this or anything else, weare doing open phone line Friday, Open
full Line Friday. You can bea part of the show by calling in
a four oh two five five eighteleven ten. Four h two five five
eight eleven ten. We'll have moreon the way on news Radio eleven ten

(20:56):
kfab oh Maurice song on news Radioeleven ten kfab our old friend Brian's on
the line, Brian, what doyou got on your mind today? I've
heard What we should really be talkingabout is inflation and border and it comes
together with the last phone call.Something I called in a few weeks about

(21:18):
Trump's plans to increase inflation is massdeportation, increase inflation by labor shortage.
There is also putting ten percent tariffon everything from everywhere and valuing the dollar.
I mentioned that and just you lookup compost to devalue the dollar.
Lots of articles from all major outletsand I all agree with cause inflation.
But the main thing I wanted tomention was tax cuts. On re brought

(21:41):
Mark Romo's show. When I askedwhat Trump would do about inflation, he
said, tax cuts and I'd likepeople to look up to tax cuts pay
for themselves. The turns about taxcuts don't pay for themselves. And there's
also on that page three myths aboutTrump tax cuts from Yahoo's finance. But
they didn't pay themselves. They didn'treally cause that much growth or create that

(22:03):
many jobs. Okay, so whatshould what should happen, Brian, I
guess is how do we solve theproblem of seven million illegal immigrants in this
country right now? Oh? Well, as for border you know, you
have really the best bill you're goingto get from the Democrats, and you
blew it. I mean it waseven tied to getting aid to Ukraine,
having to have the border bill toget that, and we got pitched Ukraine

(22:26):
and didn't even get the border billbecause Orange Julius Caesar said no, don't
pass it because I want to runon it. Yeah. Well, I
guess we'll find out. Brian.Appreciate the insight as always. Sure,
thanks s Pot. I got somebodyknock on the door, I got to
go bye, okay bye. Well, at least somebody is in his life
that is keeping the company, evenif it is the delivery man or woman.

(22:49):
I the whole first part of whathe was talking about, like tax
cats, Like what anyway, Larry'son the phone line four two, five,
five, eight to eleven ten,Larry, what are you thinking about?
Yeah? Just figuring out during thetrial of Trump that Stormy Daniels owns
somebody owes somebody one hundred and thirtythousand dollars for breaking her contract. Uh

(23:10):
yeah, yeah, she owes itmore than that now too, didn't she
because the defamation suit. So sheshe owes some hundreds of thousands of dollars
there, Larry. But here's thething. You know how she's going to
make that money back. She'll justmake a movie. I mean, I'm
not gonna watch it, you know, but I'm sure somebody Yeah, sure,
Okay, yeah, So you say, yeah, hey, Larry,

(23:33):
you yeah, I mean I mightdo some investigating. I don't. I
can't. I can't. My handsmay not be completely clean on that.
I guess I would have to makethat decision once it comes out. I
don't know. You'd have to havean informed opinion exactly right, Larry.
How am I supposed to give youmy opinion without knowing exactly what's going on?

(23:53):
But yeah, she signed a disclosureat least that's worth a civil suit
or something. Yeah. Well,and then she defamed him and then he
won that court case in the courtsaid that she owed him like another three
hundred thousand dollars. So I guesswe'll find out, Larry, if she
ever's planning on paying any of thatstuff back, and whether anybody will make
her appreciate the call, Larry.Yeah, uh yeah, Sormy Daniels makes

(24:15):
a movie. But it's not it'slike for every audience. It's not just
like, Sirmy Daniels is like,Okay, I need to make a movie.
She's the one that makes the movie. Kind of making fun of the
Trump thing because remember she was directinga lot of the films. You know,
she's a director, well thought ofin the world that she comes from.
Oh so she was a director.Well, she started as an actress

(24:37):
and then became a director. Soshe went to Clin Eastwood Route. She's
the Clin East One of adult films. I love it. I mean,
I guess a make my day.I couldn't find a way to make it.
Yeah, I'm glad you that wasrisky. That was risky. I'm
glad you pulled out of that one. Yeah, me too, me too,
stop it, me too, metoo? So would you watch Stormy

(25:03):
Daniels non adult film about this trial? I mean, we have no idea
how good of a director she is. We haven't watched her films yet,
or have you have you watched herfilms? No? Okay, so we
don't know how good she is.I'd give it a go. I'd have
to talk about it, right,it like it's important. You're talking about
the a non adult film, butregular film that she makes so she can

(25:26):
help pay off the restitution she owesDonald Trump. You haven't answered. Oh,
am, I gonna watch it ifshe'd made a movie. Yeah,
I don't know if it's on andI'm sitting on my couch and I can't
find the remote. But you're notgonna go to the theater and watch it?
Nah? What theater would give StormyDaniels time? The time of day?
I mean, you're asking for troublethere. How many innu windows would

(25:48):
