Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can we just be honest here, like this has been
a rough week. The temperatures this week, wind chills, man,
you know, And it's just something about it that just
makes you feel like you're you're you're living life and
extra gravity. I mean, there's been some days where, I
mean i'd get home from work it'd be so blasted
cold from the walk from my car into the and
(00:20):
into the you know, into the house, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I mean, there was there was there was a couple
of mornings I'd be driving to work. By the time
I got here, my feet would be frozen.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Oh that's a lie. That's that you're We're not literally
frozaggerated frozen in the sense that I couldn't feel my
toes anymore.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
That's bad for this bad uh blood. Maybe I have
diabetes type three. I don't know. Oh, I know, Yeah,
that's the new one. It it just came out. It
just got released. Okay, Oh gosh, that's right. Gotta watch
out for that one. Hey, we haven't even solved the
first two exactly, and then then they're doing a sequel.
I didn't agree, but I don't make those calls interesting. Well,
(00:57):
I'm glad that you can still walk for whatever that's worth.
Uh I uh yeah, I got I got a couple
of things here, and hear me out. Okay, we need
days and weeks like this one to fully appreciate the
spring and fall seasons that we have, oh for sure,
because there are gonna be people when we get to
(01:18):
like the sweltering ninety five degree weather a bit later,
they're gonna say I hate this, just like we're saying
we hate it now. Now, I actually like that stuff
that this good pool weather for me. Lather up the
fifty SPF and then go sit in the pool for
a while. You want to know something that's paradise to me.
I might be a little too hot, but you know
what I'm saying, and so I kind of celebrate having
(01:40):
these weeks. It's really cold, but in my head it's
just like I don't mind like letting my faucet strip
to avoid my pipes from freezing. You know why, because
it makes me feel like a functional adult. I don't
mind dressing my dogs up in their boots and their
coats just to go into the bathroom because it makes
me feel like, hey, you know what, this is part
of living in a place like this, and you know what,
I didn't have to do that for most of the winter.
(02:02):
I didn't have to do that until after Groundhog Day.
There's something to be said for that, you know what
I'm saying. You know, you're picking up what I'm putting
down over here.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah. So yeah, and it makes when you're dealing with
zero degree temperatures or real fields or whatever. When it
starts to get to like thirty and forty degrees, you're
just like, dang, this is actually quite nice. That's good
for outdoor walk type.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Eh oh, for sure, you know, just looking at this
for it, Yeah, it's just exciting.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
It's a good time.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I don't know, I thought throughout this week, is it
better or worse that there's such amazing temperatures coming straight
ahead after this brutal cold? You know, because you're just like,
it's better. I think it's objectively better. I think it's
definitely better.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I think the problem is then when we revert, it
makes there there is going to be some twenty degree
days that we haven't gone through yet. You think, so, yeah,
what if there's not Get me to April, and then
I'll believe you. What if the algorithm he starts clicking
over and we get full on climate change full time,
(03:04):
and after AGORITHM, yeah, if THEO did you think of
that all by yourself? You know?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
The sad thing is, I've been sitting on that joke
for about a week now, and I was trying to
figure out the way to apply it, and that was
not the best way. And now the cat's out of
the bag and I blew the joke. It was actually
pretty good. I just couldn't let you finish your point
because I just couldn't believe you actually said that. So
I'm sorry I kind of ruined it.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
But it's like, dang, didn't even think about that the algorithm?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
You know, Actually I propose this. I'm going to finish
the joke in the right way here. Why don't we
stop calling it climate change? Why don't we call it
the algorithm? The algorithm? Do you hyphenate where any?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I think if you rebrand it, maybe it's not a
bad thing. Right.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Let's just when does the when do the temperatures click
over to warmer and they just don't go back to cold?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
I don't know what that means. That's when we need
we need to embrace the algorithm. Yeah, I don't think.
I think that's going to be an uphill battle for you.
But I appreciate the intimate and I don't really know
how funny the joke was, but what a play on words.
Well done by you. It's three twelve, Okay, So I
got this other thing that I want to play. It's
Donald Trump. He's speaking to the governors of the United
(04:14):
States of America. Do you want to be a governor?
Governor sounds like a pretty tough job, But I think
I'd rather be a governor than like a senator. Really,
I get to live in my state. I don't have
to do the Washington Shenanigans. I'm kind of the boss
of like my division. Kind of enjoy that I get
to kind of do my own thing. Like, yes, we're
in the United States of America, but every state kind
(04:35):
of has its own freedoms, its own state constitution, all
that stuff. You know what I'm saying. Kind of makes
me feel, you know, like I'm the big boss man
or something. Yeah, there's a lot of good female governors
out there, you know. Look next door, Kim Reynolds do
a lot of good work over there in Iowa. Christin
Nolan was the governor of South Dakota. And now she's
doing stuff, you know, with homeland security. Right, And if
(04:57):
you're a Democrat, you're looking at people like Gretchen Wimer.
That is a good female governor. Right. You want to
know who else does a female governor? Janet Mills of
the state of Maine. And this was Donald Trump is
addressing the governors. And this of course being filmed because
it always is. And Donald Trump is talking about the
(05:20):
Transgender Bill, and essentially transgender it's transgender female or sorry, yeah,
biological men who transition and are a transgender female playing
women's sports. That's what we're talking about here. He signed
an executive order to do that. The NCAA immediately changed
their rules and said, okay, that's the rule now, no
(05:42):
biological men who are now identifying as females can play
women's sports. Well, Donald Trump started this and he was
looking for the governor of Maine. The NCAA has complied immediately,
by the way. That's good. But I understand Maine is
the main here, the governor of man out here. Are
(06:03):
you not going to comply with it state federal laws? Well,
I'm we are the federal law. Well you better do it.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
You better do it because you're not going to get
any federal funding at all if you don't. And by
the way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal orlo,
I did very well there. Your population doesn't want men
playing in women's sports. So you better you better comply
because otherwise you're not getting any any federal funding. See
every state, good, I'll see you. And could I look
forward to that. That should be really easy. And enjoy
(06:35):
your life after governor, because I don't think you'll be
an elected politics.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Oh every so no, oh no, oh oh no, I
like that. I like that. Give me some of that.
What did that sound like? Didn't that sound like a
teacher looking at the class and is just like, where's Johnny?
Is Johnny in here? Like, yeah, he's over there, Johnny
Whiting' get your homework. I had a five out a
(06:59):
word essay. Seemed pretty easy. Why don't you do your homework?
It's like I I didn't. It wasn't in the syllabus,
it wasn't in the curriculum. I don't need it, and
I didn't need to do it to get a passing grade.
I mean that's what that sounded like. And I loved it.
I loved it. What do you think, Matt more of that?
It's good. It's kind of rude, you know, Janet. Janet's saying,
(07:19):
I'll see you in court. What are you tell you're
talking to the president of the United States, Janet, Well,
what's she supposed to say? She got called out? Yeah,
she got called out. You know what she's supposed to say? Yes,
sir or I don't know, I'll see you in court.
What a what a comeback? Yeah? The state of Maine
at war with the federal government. That sounds like a
(07:40):
good idea. Come on, Janet, seriously, you know, if there
is a state to pull it off, they're all the
way up there. You really only have to kind of
like bolster one border. I don't know, man, I've been
playing no, no, they're gonna they're gonna start invading New
Hampshire to prevent that from happening, you know, a preemptive
invasion of New Hampshire. Yeah, just to show their mic. Okay,
(08:03):
I don't know what does it live free or die?
I think is New Hampshire state slogan? So I wouldn't
mess around with those guys. They look like a bunch
of sup syrup jugging softies. But like that's the state slogan, right, like,
let's watch out for those guys. Hey, New Hampshire one
of the thirteen colonies, one of the original thirteen colonies.
I mean, they got a pretty preemptive scene at the table,
(08:24):
I think. See. Main's the kind of place though, like
they could kind of strike out and then like if
they had to, they could turtle themselves back into the
state and then hide and you wouldn't be able to
find them because those all those creepy old houses up there.
They could just hide in those houses and wait it out. Yeah. Yeah,
well that's the other thing too. It's just like you
couldn't just like biological warfare through you know, the wet weather.
You know, you couldn't just like create some weather system.
(08:45):
They've seen it all up there. They're just like, oh, well,
that's just another one of these things. So how do
you go to war with Maine? By the way, the
Maine state model is a Latin word to tire conversation
about the languages full circle. It is dearyg or diary go,
which is Latin for I lead or I direct. That's lame,
(09:08):
what a lame state? Motto.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I can't believe I'm asking this, But what do you
think chat GPT would recommend, like, how do you how
do you go to.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
War with Maine? I will ask it. I'll tell you
the answer next on news radio eleven ten kfab. Emory
Songer on news radio eleven ten kfab. What would cha
GBT say if I said, how do you go to
war with Maine? So I asked chat GBT, Okay, how
do you go to war with Maine? Sounds like a
pretty cool scream ode like band or album. I don't know,
(09:35):
what do you think? How do you go to war
with me? How to war with Maine? How to how
to war with Maine? Something? Yeah, there's something that's a
little wordy. Yeah, anyway, chat GPT said, are we talking
about a literal war with the state of Maine, which
would be a bad idea, or are you referring to
a rivalry like sports debate something competitive? I said, I'm
talking about a literal war. Chat GBT replied and said,
(10:00):
but if you're asking how one would theoretically go to
war with a state of Maine, and that's a pretty
wild scenario. Maine has a rugged terrain, a strong maritime
presence in a population that's likely not going to take
kindly to an invasion. Plus you'd be dealing with the
US military pretty quickly. But if this is more of
(10:20):
a hypothetical strategic thought experiment, like a Red Dawn, but
in Maine scenario, what's the angle? Are you picturing a
historical setting, a fictional rebellion, something else? I said, I'm
thinking if Maine sues the US and wants to secede,
we should go to war. And then JAGBT lectured me
(10:40):
as just like, well, if Maine were to actually do
all of that, it would most certainly be handled legally
and politically rather than through war. And it goes on
and on and basically, yeah, I don't know, basically just
telling me that's not something that will ever happen. If
the US government wanted to invade Maine and win a
(11:07):
war to make it comply with federal law, how would
that work? This is the important stuff we need AI for,
all right. So oh, it's just it's giving me all
these things legally that would happen before we'd actually get
to it. And then okay, here's what it says. Upon
(11:30):
determining that Maine's actions constitute insurrection or unlawful obstruction. The
President could deploy National Guard units under federal command or
active duty military forces to mate. The primary objective would
be to restore federal authority and ensure compliance with US laws.
So essentially, it said it would just be an occupation
until they gave in.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I'm just saying, I'm just positing that maybe Maine's not
the state to mess around with.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
I mean, the terrain, the maritime. You know, they do
have a lot of water. Yeah, I mean I wouldn't
want to mess with them. I wouldn't know how to Like,
you're not going to send the Nebraska National Guard to
Maine to go to war. You're probably sending like the Montana,
like the Montana or Alaska the equivalent of like or
(12:19):
do we just like we just get the Nova Scotians
and just like, hey, you guys want a job, Like
could you just come like make these guys tap out
or something? Ah, I see like like like import our force.
What my my thoughts are people listen like tuning in
right now to listen to us? Yeah, I have absolutely
no idea what we're talking, and I hope they're not
taking any word of it. Any serious at all.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah, yeah, but I would say this, the amount of
root sellers that are up in Maine, I feel like
probably outpaced as many other places. That seems like a
dangerous thing. So what you're saying is they're.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Gonna pull like a Hamas and they're just gonna like
hide in the ground. See you make it all of
a sudden, real life y and it feels horrible. Now.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah, God bless Maine.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
We love you, We want to keep you. Nobody's out
to get you. We love you. Know what I love? No,
you know, lobster rolls. We need the main lobster did.
Drew just sent an email and said Trump will put
a tariff on lobster sales to other states if they
don't compline. That's how they get into Canada though, you
(13:27):
imagine Canada just absorbs them. Oh yeah, Canada is just like, hey, man,
come on in. We love you. Because that's the thing though,
I mean, think about it. You just have to learn
French because you're going to be in Quebec. If they
get a tariff on them. Then this is how this works.
This is how this is how friendships are lost and
new ones are born. Oh man, because all of a sudden,
Maine's gonna have all this thing, these things in common
with Canada, and they're gonna have something to relate to.
(13:50):
Right then, when when you have problems that you can
relate to with each other, that's right right there.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Canada is just gonna be like, it's not very much fun,
is it, Maine, and Maine's gonna be like, you know,
it's not and then Canada's going to be there sitting
on the couch ready to every conservative person in MAINEZ It's.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Like, what is going on here? Why is this happening?
And there's nowhere for them to go because you know,
New Hampshire and Massachusetts are all super liberal too. Ah man,
this is funny. Curtis is the email and says, if
I were the governor and wanted to talk trash, I
would just change the state's name to Maine Attraction, Maine Attraction,
like Maine the state main attraction. Yeah. I thought it
(14:29):
was funny. I thought it was funny. I cannot believe
this is a thing. Apparently, there is some historical president
to federal troops being deployed to specific places in the
United States, but those were mostly to enforce integration in
Southern states in the fifties and sixties when people were
protesting like African Americans going to like white schools and stuff,
(14:54):
and they integrated the schools. That's what Chad GBT thinks
is the most like one to one scenario of what
we're talking about here, transgenderism in sports, the new integration. Nope,
bad chud GPT. That was that's wrong, that is foul.
(15:18):
You asked Scrock by the way, and it sent you
like a huge essay like what.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Sent me a lot of caveats up front, and then
it did say what did it say?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
It is just like you know this will never happen, right,
It told me to not do it.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Rock thought that I was thinking about it personally like
that I was gonna be a one man Rambo to
just go up.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
There and be like, Maine is mine. Now you're annexing
made on behalf of Nebraska. So now I'm on a list,
which is great. I think Elon runs gronk. He doesn't care.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, And it did say that Maine's rural terrain and
harsh winters would make it tough for outsiders to sustain
a campaign. Locals are hardy armed and know the woods.
They also know how to put a delicious clam chowder
and a bread bab and that's so good.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
That's like, how dare you nasty? What have you had
it a bread bowl? No? Because I don't like clam chowder.
You got to try it. I have tried it, and
I do not like it. I also have not really
ever traveled to the Northeast for whatever it's worse. So
maybe I just haven't had good stuff, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Yeah, you gotta get the good. Oh yeah, don't get
it around here. That's gonna be like congealed nasty. Like well,
that's what I've tac just like that, eat it up.
Not you want to you gotta go out to the Yeah,
you gotta go to the sort. Oh there goes the
clam chowder endorsement three nine. We'll come back.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
We'll have a Friday for in about a half hour
and have fun with us on news Radio eleven ten Kfab.
Emory's songer on news radio eleven ten kfab. First of all,
I was handed a gift by just like the hilariousness
of him, Donald Trump. President Trump was talking to the
people who are governors for all fifty states, and he
(17:06):
calls out the main governor, Janet Mills, and basically says,
you're not You say you're not going to comply with
the Transgender Athletes bill, and she said no, I'm going
to follow state and federal law. And he's like, well,
we are federal law, which is funny. And then basically
it evolves to the point where he said you better
or you're not getting any federal funding. And then Janet
Mills says, I'll see you in court and he's like, yeah,
that'll go real Well. It was hilarious, a great forty
(17:28):
five seconds. I'm sure he's gonna get worn out by
all the news talk people out there. But now the
other thing here, and I just this is my perspective
on this is we kind of like, well, what would
happen if we went to war with Maine? And we
just had a lot of fun like asking the AI
(17:49):
systems like what that meant? And then you had a
really funny idea, what would it say if somebody tried
to go to war with Nebraska. I feel like it
was only fair, you know, all right, So what you
asked you asked groc which is Elon's hey I model,
and he just got a new one. This is like
the three point Oho Grock. So what does it have
to say?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I just didn't want people thinking that we were unfairly
targeting Maine.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
And also, you know, I don't know this is uh,
and Main's in a weird spot because it's bordering Canada,
so it was kind of like that back door of
like Canada could protect it theoretically. I just.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I mean, I just feel like Maine, you know, I
don't know that's the one right there, Like I wouldn't
want I wouldn't be.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Messing around with the Maine. I'm just saying, you're kind
of asking for trouble from Canada. And they got the
water there and they got a bunch of lobsters, so
you know, like those things. Sometimes if you get a
hold of one of those, they won't let you go Anyway,
what did it say?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
First off, I want to say, groc did not like
that I asked this question and I am absolutely on
a list.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Now, okay, so there you go. Well I do to
entertain you. I was gonna say that case hopefully you
weren't trying to go anywhere too crazy, Uh, with the
wrong people.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Dude, they're gonna they're gonna see that post from earlier
this week of me standing out in the snow, George.
It's gonna be it's gonna be misinterpreted. Here we go.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
This is the start. This is why I don't do
stuff online. I'm seeing the start of my demise right here.
They're gonna like the silly stance I was taking.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
They're gonna find a way to make that some sort
of like, you know, bad stance with with ill intent.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
It's not wasn't it. It wasn't you called it. You
called it the you in the face stance. Don't you dare?
Don't you even dare? This is my fighting stance. If
anybody gets within five ft, I'm gonna start punching them.
That's that's what you told me. That stance was.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
That is actually that is actually modeled off of the
way these two comedians who used to have an adult
swim show, Tim and Eric. They used to walk like
that with their hands out. It was a very unnatural
way to walk. It's a weird way to walk. It's
a weird way to tell.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
People what it would take to Okay what Grox said
about going to war with Nebraska.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Grox said, oh wait, this is Maine. Again, I need
to scroll down hold on. GROX said that if this
is a hypothetical insurgency or a secession plot, vsca's sparse
population under two million and armed rural folks would make
it scrappy and hard to hold.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Mmm.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Winter blizzards and endless prairie would grind down invaders without
solid logistics.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Hmmm, that's pretty interesting. He's not wrong. You want to
know what the CHATGBT said. Well, Sam Altman's machine said,
are you just testing hypothetical scenarios or are you really
cooking up a wild alternate history or fiction idea. It
asked me that, and I was like, just tell me,
how would you go to war with Nebraska? Well, he says, well,
(20:36):
if you're thinking about going to war with Nebraska, you'd
be dealing with the state that has wide open planes,
a ton of agriculture, and some of the toughest, most
self sufficient people in the country. If this is just
a thought experiment, how would someone try to take over Nebraska?
It would depend on the strategy a military approach would
have to contend with this. Flat open land makes large
(20:57):
scale movements visible, but also makes defense positions harder to hold.
That's some Civil War stuff there too, right when you're
kind of like in the flatlands in different spots where
the Civil War was fighting. That's a lot of what
was being reported. There's not high ground to hold, and
it makes it very difficult because you could basically see
everything that's going on because there isn't really a lot
of good places to hide next not the largest, but
(21:20):
people are armed, independent and resilient. Chat GPT does know.
As far as infrastructure, control over highways, railways, and agriculture
would be key. I mean, that's everything here, isn't it
outside of the city of Omaha. I mean, like, if
you have control over the highways, railways, and agriculture, you
got the state and then off at air Force Base.
Makes it a huge target if somebody actually wanted to
(21:43):
try to come in and take it over, which now
that you mentioned it, we would probably just have to
fortify that first, wouldn't we if somebody did like it.
Maine says these two dufices in Nebraska are cooking up
a plot to come and invade Maine. We need to
beat them to the punch. Let's get some people into
Nebraska and see what they're all about. Now you think
(22:04):
it Maine's gonna invade Nebraska. As far as this example,
I don't see Maine as being the type to be
very offensive when it comes to military movements. But what
I will say is I think we're like minded enough
with South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas that we could call one
of them if somebody wanted to try to take a
silver but they would have to start with off It.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
But if Maine is invading Nebraska, they're going to need
a sympathetic border state to be able to stack up
their armaments.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah, and Colorado is that. But there's enough rule people
between all the Libs in Colorado and eastern Colorado, which
has a lot of rural farming ranching types. And I
don't know if you're going to get a lot of
sympathy from the people that are butted right up against
that border. And even if they are, that's the opposite
area that you want to start trying to take over.
I mean, really the most important stuff that Nebraska has
(22:55):
no disrespect to the great farmers and ranchers around the state.
But if you don't have off It and you don't
have like a stance in Omaha or Lincoln, do you
really have anything like from a military perspective, like, we
could absolutely keep you out of every everywhere else and
even if you wanted to try to target some of
that area, as long as we fortified off it in
(23:18):
the metropolitan areas, we're going to come get you. In
western Nebraska. There's no hide for you out there.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, but my worry would be that they would dam
up the rivers around the state, how they get to
the Missouri River.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Iowa would absolutely join us in this ply. Okay, so
we got Iowa with us, Oh, no doubt, especially when
it's talk we're talking about that river right that river
flows into Iowa. Well not really, but I mean like
it's there. It touches them, It touches them for a
long time, like not just one place. It's like our
border with them is basically that river. So you know, yeah,
(23:53):
why wouldn't they jump in to try to help protect
it unless they say, you know what, we hate those
guys too, Come on, man, let's go get them. Could
you imagine it's like, wow, what a heel turned by Iowa?
Gee whiz?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Yeah, I mean maybe Iowa was just kind of sick
and maybe they're sick and tired of be in Nebraska junior.
You know, don't start this. I'm just saying, like I
could see not what it is. I could see Iowa
turning heel. I really could.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Iowa is not Nebraska.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
They're out there and they're thinking, you know what, we're
really really sick and tired of being Nebraska junie.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Iowa has more people. Iowa was a state first. Iowa
has a lot going on that Nebraska doesn't have going on.
And there's a lot of Nebraska has going on that
Iowa doesn't have going on. To be fair, but I'm
just saying, like, be careful what you're asking for here,
colin Iowa Nebraska Junior, because that certainly is not the case.
(24:43):
But do you know what Iowa doesn't have? What?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Five shiny championships in what and the only sport that matters?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Oh No, you can't say that, though, because if you
say that, then what's going to be the response, Like, Okay,
so who's won the those games recently? Oh recncy bias.
I see, I don't. I don't want to Iowa to
beat Nebraska by any means, but you're opening up that
can of worms when you say, oh, we got all
these championships from before I was born. Yeah, Nebraska is
(25:14):
a little bit like Uncle Rico. I'll admit that. Okay,
there you go. You know Uncle Rico to Napoleon Dynamite. Yeah,
Maine is coming in there getting us. If that's who
we are, that's who we are. And South Dakota is
Kip and we are totally screwed. South Dakota is Kip.
So we got it.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
So you're telling me that I was gonna pull South
Dakota into town to learn some taekwondo.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yeah, but we the taekwondo guys is just like these
people are helpless.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Let me just put it this way, Emery. As long
as Starla's on our team, we are golden baby.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
You think I go home to Starla without these bad
boys on, forget about it. It is three forty eight
Napoleon Dynamite reference on KFAB. Mostly it just has to
do with the fact that you know five national titles
and the only sport that matters according to which you're
alluding to football, I'm certainly not going to say college basketball. Yeesh, Well,
(26:08):
how about this. I knew this was going to happen,
and David beat me to the punch. Love the show
but tell Matt to look at Iowa wrestling national championships.
Hawkeyes have won twenty four national titles, thirty seven Big
Ten championships, I was fifty five NCAA champions Like the
individual champions have won a total of eighty five individual championships,
(26:30):
crowning seven three timers and sixteen two time champions. The
Hawkeys one hundred and eighteen Big Ten champions have combined
for two hundred and ten total conference titles. Have you
messed with a wrestler? Wrestling is an incredibly important sport
to the Midwest, and you can't tell me it doesn't matter.
So you open the can of worms. David has the
(26:51):
evidence and shared it with us, and gotta be honest
with you. You had it coming.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to refute that. I
understand it. But again I said, I said what I said.
And then Elephant's memories one hundred percent or something like that.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I don't know what is that.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Horton, here's a who. I don't really have anything to
say about. You know, Horton, here's a who.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
But you don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Urdle the Turtle, I you know what Youurdle of the
Turtle didn't didn't log itself into the memory bank, but
when I looked it up, I did. I did remember
it once I saw it, but I don't know, you know,
I guess, really, well, what are we really talking about here,
doctor Seuss, Well, that's what we're talking about just right then,
But I'm talking about overall. The conversation here is if Maine,
hypothetically speaking, you're just tuning in, if you're just shooting in,
(27:34):
you have no idea what's going on.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I'm so sorry. By the way, Hypothetically, if Maine, we've
sus into Colorado, well well wait, wait, we have suggested
we go to Maine and invade them, or what Donald
Trump would do if you know, Maine just decided to
you know, secede from the Union because they don't they
want transgender women to you know, play female sports or whatever.
(27:55):
You know, he was arguing with her about that. You know,
there are some challenges that invading Maine would create. And
then you know, we were thinking long enough about this,
we were like, okay, but what happened if somebody tried
to come into Nebraska? And I just used Maine as
an example, because you know, they'd be the ones that'd
be mad at us.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Well, you thought that you thought that maybe Maine would
go into Colorado, recruit the colorado Ins and then invade Us,
I guess from the west.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Well, I mean, if let's be honest, what's Main's population
Maine population, I would is it more than Nebraska? It
almost be. They are one point four oh five less
than Nebraska one point four to oh five. Nebraska is
right it too, So they are five hundred thousand people
they're in an Omaha short of having Nebraska's population. My
(28:44):
whole thing is, how are you gonna get to Nebraska.
You can't just waltz into Omaha and you're gonna need
some friends, wouldn't you rather? Uh, yeah, you're gonna need
some friends on.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
The way, and you probably don't want to waltz right
into Omaha. That's not a good idea. You probably want
to go in the back way. You know, you want
to go through Colorada. How many you need to stretch
the people out? If we're two populous dents in eastern Nebraska.
And this goes for Lincoln as well, So yeah, all
of the stuff that you really want if you're gonna
beat Nebraska and you're gonna like take over Nebraska. You're
gonna need to eventually get to off it. You're gonna
(29:18):
need to take control of I eighty between Lincoln, and
you're gonna need to cut off the supply line between
Lincoln and Omaha. But you know, we can condense into
that small space if we need to. My bet best
guest though, is we have the manpower to maintain a
good stronghold in both those places and keep our roadways clear.
And even if you try to invade us with friends
(29:40):
from the West, we will be able to repel you
because the Panhandle isn't that big of a space for
us to have to push you back from. And if
we need to Wyoming, I mean, who they who are
they gonna help? They would love to see Colorado go away.
You think you look at South Dakota. Of course they're
gonna help us out Kansas.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
What if Colorado promises some of some of the Panhandle
to them to South Dakota. No, to Wyoming, Oh to Wyoming.
They like to stretch out a little well, politically speaking,
they are on different wavelengths, that's for sure. But if
if they were like, hey, if we'll split this sixty forty,
if you jump on board. What does Wyoming need that for?
I gotta be honest. The only way I see this
(30:20):
plane out. We're probably gonna lose the panhandle at first.
We're gonna have to turtle a little bit. We're gonna
lose that panhandle and we're gonna have to regroup, and
then we're gonna have to, you know, have some meetings
with you know, Nova Scotia, you know moderators who are
gonna say, look, the borders are not going to go
back to pre war borders. You're just gonna have to
do this, but we'll get you some sort of you know,
(30:41):
mineral deal with Virginia to make sure everything goes Okay, okay,
that sound familiar, ladies and gentlemen. Here's the radio eleven
ten kfa B
Can we just be honest here, like this has been
a rough week. The temperatures this week, wind chills, man,
you know, And it's just something about it that just
makes you feel like you're you're you're living life and
extra gravity. I mean, there's been some days where, I
mean i'd get home from work it'd be so blasted
cold from the walk from my car into the and
(00:20):
into the you know, into the house, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I mean, there was there was there was a couple
of mornings I'd be driving to work. By the time
I got here, my feet would be frozen.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Oh that's a lie. That's that you're We're not literally
frozaggerated frozen in the sense that I couldn't feel my
toes anymore.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
That's bad for this bad uh blood. Maybe I have
diabetes type three. I don't know. Oh, I know, Yeah,
that's the new one. It it just came out. It
just got released. Okay, Oh gosh, that's right. Gotta watch
out for that one. Hey, we haven't even solved the
first two exactly, and then then they're doing a sequel.
I didn't agree, but I don't make those calls interesting. Well,
(00:57):
I'm glad that you can still walk for whatever that's worth.
Uh I uh yeah, I got I got a couple
of things here, and hear me out. Okay, we need
days and weeks like this one to fully appreciate the
spring and fall seasons that we have, oh for sure,
because there are gonna be people when we get to
(01:18):
like the sweltering ninety five degree weather a bit later,
they're gonna say I hate this, just like we're saying
we hate it now. Now, I actually like that stuff
that this good pool weather for me. Lather up the
fifty SPF and then go sit in the pool for
a while. You want to know something that's paradise to me.
I might be a little too hot, but you know
what I'm saying, and so I kind of celebrate having
(01:40):
these weeks. It's really cold, but in my head it's
just like I don't mind like letting my faucet strip
to avoid my pipes from freezing. You know why, because
it makes me feel like a functional adult. I don't
mind dressing my dogs up in their boots and their
coats just to go into the bathroom because it makes
me feel like, hey, you know what, this is part
of living in a place like this, and you know what,
I didn't have to do that for most of the winter.
(02:02):
I didn't have to do that until after Groundhog Day.
There's something to be said for that, you know what
I'm saying. You know, you're picking up what I'm putting
down over here.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah. So yeah, and it makes when you're dealing with
zero degree temperatures or real fields or whatever. When it
starts to get to like thirty and forty degrees, you're
just like, dang, this is actually quite nice. That's good
for outdoor walk type.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Eh oh, for sure, you know, just looking at this
for it, Yeah, it's just exciting.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
It's a good time.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I don't know, I thought throughout this week, is it
better or worse that there's such amazing temperatures coming straight
ahead after this brutal cold? You know, because you're just like,
it's better. I think it's objectively better. I think it's
definitely better.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I think the problem is then when we revert, it
makes there there is going to be some twenty degree
days that we haven't gone through yet. You think, so, yeah,
what if there's not Get me to April, and then
I'll believe you. What if the algorithm he starts clicking
over and we get full on climate change full time,
(03:04):
and after AGORITHM, yeah, if THEO did you think of
that all by yourself? You know?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
The sad thing is, I've been sitting on that joke
for about a week now, and I was trying to
figure out the way to apply it, and that was
not the best way. And now the cat's out of
the bag and I blew the joke. It was actually
pretty good. I just couldn't let you finish your point
because I just couldn't believe you actually said that. So
I'm sorry I kind of ruined it.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
But it's like, dang, didn't even think about that the algorithm?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
You know, Actually I propose this. I'm going to finish
the joke in the right way here. Why don't we
stop calling it climate change? Why don't we call it
the algorithm? The algorithm? Do you hyphenate where any?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I think if you rebrand it, maybe it's not a
bad thing. Right.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Let's just when does the when do the temperatures click
over to warmer and they just don't go back to cold?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
I don't know what that means. That's when we need
we need to embrace the algorithm. Yeah, I don't think.
I think that's going to be an uphill battle for you.
But I appreciate the intimate and I don't really know
how funny the joke was, but what a play on words.
Well done by you. It's three twelve, Okay, So I
got this other thing that I want to play. It's
Donald Trump. He's speaking to the governors of the United
(04:14):
States of America. Do you want to be a governor?
Governor sounds like a pretty tough job, But I think
I'd rather be a governor than like a senator. Really,
I get to live in my state. I don't have
to do the Washington Shenanigans. I'm kind of the boss
of like my division. Kind of enjoy that I get
to kind of do my own thing. Like, yes, we're
in the United States of America, but every state kind
(04:35):
of has its own freedoms, its own state constitution, all
that stuff. You know what I'm saying. Kind of makes
me feel, you know, like I'm the big boss man
or something. Yeah, there's a lot of good female governors
out there, you know. Look next door, Kim Reynolds do
a lot of good work over there in Iowa. Christin
Nolan was the governor of South Dakota. And now she's
doing stuff, you know, with homeland security. Right, And if
(04:57):
you're a Democrat, you're looking at people like Gretchen Wimer.
That is a good female governor. Right. You want to
know who else does a female governor? Janet Mills of
the state of Maine. And this was Donald Trump is
addressing the governors. And this of course being filmed because
it always is. And Donald Trump is talking about the
(05:20):
Transgender Bill, and essentially transgender it's transgender female or sorry, yeah,
biological men who transition and are a transgender female playing
women's sports. That's what we're talking about here. He signed
an executive order to do that. The NCAA immediately changed
their rules and said, okay, that's the rule now, no
(05:42):
biological men who are now identifying as females can play
women's sports. Well, Donald Trump started this and he was
looking for the governor of Maine. The NCAA has complied immediately,
by the way. That's good. But I understand Maine is
the main here, the governor of man out here. Are
(06:03):
you not going to comply with it state federal laws? Well,
I'm we are the federal law. Well you better do it.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
You better do it because you're not going to get
any federal funding at all if you don't. And by
the way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal orlo,
I did very well there. Your population doesn't want men
playing in women's sports. So you better you better comply
because otherwise you're not getting any any federal funding. See
every state, good, I'll see you. And could I look
forward to that. That should be really easy. And enjoy
(06:35):
your life after governor, because I don't think you'll be
an elected politics.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Oh every so no, oh no, oh oh no, I
like that. I like that. Give me some of that.
What did that sound like? Didn't that sound like a
teacher looking at the class and is just like, where's Johnny?
Is Johnny in here? Like, yeah, he's over there, Johnny
Whiting' get your homework. I had a five out a
(06:59):
word essay. Seemed pretty easy. Why don't you do your homework?
It's like I I didn't. It wasn't in the syllabus,
it wasn't in the curriculum. I don't need it, and
I didn't need to do it to get a passing grade.
I mean that's what that sounded like. And I loved it.
I loved it. What do you think, Matt more of that?
It's good. It's kind of rude, you know, Janet. Janet's saying,
(07:19):
I'll see you in court. What are you tell you're
talking to the president of the United States, Janet, Well,
what's she supposed to say? She got called out? Yeah,
she got called out. You know what she's supposed to say? Yes,
sir or I don't know, I'll see you in court.
What a what a comeback? Yeah? The state of Maine
at war with the federal government. That sounds like a
(07:40):
good idea. Come on, Janet, seriously, you know, if there
is a state to pull it off, they're all the
way up there. You really only have to kind of
like bolster one border. I don't know, man, I've been
playing no, no, they're gonna they're gonna start invading New
Hampshire to prevent that from happening, you know, a preemptive
invasion of New Hampshire. Yeah, just to show their mic. Okay,
(08:03):
I don't know what does it live free or die?
I think is New Hampshire state slogan? So I wouldn't
mess around with those guys. They look like a bunch
of sup syrup jugging softies. But like that's the state slogan, right, like,
let's watch out for those guys. Hey, New Hampshire one
of the thirteen colonies, one of the original thirteen colonies.
I mean, they got a pretty preemptive scene at the table,
(08:24):
I think. See. Main's the kind of place though, like
they could kind of strike out and then like if
they had to, they could turtle themselves back into the
state and then hide and you wouldn't be able to
find them because those all those creepy old houses up there.
They could just hide in those houses and wait it out. Yeah. Yeah,
well that's the other thing too. It's just like you
couldn't just like biological warfare through you know, the wet weather.
You know, you couldn't just like create some weather system.
(08:45):
They've seen it all up there. They're just like, oh, well,
that's just another one of these things. So how do
you go to war with Maine? By the way, the
Maine state model is a Latin word to tire conversation
about the languages full circle. It is dearyg or diary go,
which is Latin for I lead or I direct. That's lame,
(09:08):
what a lame state? Motto.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I can't believe I'm asking this, But what do you
think chat GPT would recommend, like, how do you how
do you go to.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
War with Maine? I will ask it. I'll tell you
the answer next on news radio eleven ten kfab. Emory
Songer on news radio eleven ten kfab. What would cha
GBT say if I said, how do you go to
war with Maine? So I asked chat GBT, Okay, how
do you go to war with Maine? Sounds like a
pretty cool scream ode like band or album. I don't know,
(09:35):
what do you think? How do you go to war
with me? How to war with Maine? How to how
to war with Maine? Something? Yeah, there's something that's a
little wordy. Yeah, anyway, chat GPT said, are we talking
about a literal war with the state of Maine, which
would be a bad idea, or are you referring to
a rivalry like sports debate something competitive? I said, I'm
talking about a literal war. Chat GBT replied and said,
(10:00):
but if you're asking how one would theoretically go to
war with a state of Maine, and that's a pretty
wild scenario. Maine has a rugged terrain, a strong maritime
presence in a population that's likely not going to take
kindly to an invasion. Plus you'd be dealing with the
US military pretty quickly. But if this is more of
(10:20):
a hypothetical strategic thought experiment, like a Red Dawn, but
in Maine scenario, what's the angle? Are you picturing a
historical setting, a fictional rebellion, something else? I said, I'm
thinking if Maine sues the US and wants to secede,
we should go to war. And then JAGBT lectured me
(10:40):
as just like, well, if Maine were to actually do
all of that, it would most certainly be handled legally
and politically rather than through war. And it goes on
and on and basically, yeah, I don't know, basically just
telling me that's not something that will ever happen. If
the US government wanted to invade Maine and win a
(11:07):
war to make it comply with federal law, how would
that work? This is the important stuff we need AI for,
all right. So oh, it's just it's giving me all
these things legally that would happen before we'd actually get
to it. And then okay, here's what it says. Upon
(11:30):
determining that Maine's actions constitute insurrection or unlawful obstruction. The
President could deploy National Guard units under federal command or
active duty military forces to mate. The primary objective would
be to restore federal authority and ensure compliance with US laws.
So essentially, it said it would just be an occupation
until they gave in.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I'm just saying, I'm just positing that maybe Maine's not
the state to mess around with.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
I mean, the terrain, the maritime. You know, they do
have a lot of water. Yeah, I mean I wouldn't
want to mess with them. I wouldn't know how to Like,
you're not going to send the Nebraska National Guard to
Maine to go to war. You're probably sending like the Montana,
like the Montana or Alaska the equivalent of like or
(12:19):
do we just like we just get the Nova Scotians
and just like, hey, you guys want a job, Like
could you just come like make these guys tap out
or something? Ah, I see like like like import our force.
What my my thoughts are people listen like tuning in
right now to listen to us? Yeah, I have absolutely
no idea what we're talking, and I hope they're not
taking any word of it. Any serious at all.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Yeah, yeah, but I would say this, the amount of
root sellers that are up in Maine, I feel like
probably outpaced as many other places. That seems like a
dangerous thing. So what you're saying is they're.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Gonna pull like a Hamas and they're just gonna like
hide in the ground. See you make it all of
a sudden, real life y and it feels horrible. Now.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah, God bless Maine.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
We love you, We want to keep you. Nobody's out
to get you. We love you. Know what I love? No,
you know, lobster rolls. We need the main lobster did.
Drew just sent an email and said Trump will put
a tariff on lobster sales to other states if they
don't compline. That's how they get into Canada though, you
(13:27):
imagine Canada just absorbs them. Oh yeah, Canada is just like, hey, man,
come on in. We love you. Because that's the thing though,
I mean, think about it. You just have to learn
French because you're going to be in Quebec. If they
get a tariff on them. Then this is how this works.
This is how this is how friendships are lost and
new ones are born. Oh man, because all of a sudden,
Maine's gonna have all this thing, these things in common
with Canada, and they're gonna have something to relate to.
(13:50):
Right then, when when you have problems that you can
relate to with each other, that's right right there.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Canada is just gonna be like, it's not very much fun,
is it, Maine, and Maine's gonna be like, you know,
it's not and then Canada's going to be there sitting
on the couch ready to every conservative person in MAINEZ It's.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Like, what is going on here? Why is this happening?
And there's nowhere for them to go because you know,
New Hampshire and Massachusetts are all super liberal too. Ah man,
this is funny. Curtis is the email and says, if
I were the governor and wanted to talk trash, I
would just change the state's name to Maine Attraction, Maine Attraction,
like Maine the state main attraction. Yeah. I thought it
(14:29):
was funny. I thought it was funny. I cannot believe
this is a thing. Apparently, there is some historical president
to federal troops being deployed to specific places in the
United States, but those were mostly to enforce integration in
Southern states in the fifties and sixties when people were
protesting like African Americans going to like white schools and stuff,
(14:54):
and they integrated the schools. That's what Chad GBT thinks
is the most like one to one scenario of what
we're talking about here, transgenderism in sports, the new integration. Nope,
bad chud GPT. That was that's wrong, that is foul.
(15:18):
You asked Scrock by the way, and it sent you
like a huge essay like what.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Sent me a lot of caveats up front, and then
it did say what did it say?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
It is just like you know this will never happen, right,
It told me to not do it.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Rock thought that I was thinking about it personally like
that I was gonna be a one man Rambo to
just go up.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
There and be like, Maine is mine. Now you're annexing
made on behalf of Nebraska. So now I'm on a list,
which is great. I think Elon runs gronk. He doesn't care.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, And it did say that Maine's rural terrain and
harsh winters would make it tough for outsiders to sustain
a campaign. Locals are hardy armed and know the woods.
They also know how to put a delicious clam chowder
and a bread bab and that's so good.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
That's like, how dare you nasty? What have you had
it a bread bowl? No? Because I don't like clam chowder.
You got to try it. I have tried it, and
I do not like it. I also have not really
ever traveled to the Northeast for whatever it's worse. So
maybe I just haven't had good stuff, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Yeah, you gotta get the good. Oh yeah, don't get
it around here. That's gonna be like congealed nasty. Like well,
that's what I've tac just like that, eat it up.
Not you want to you gotta go out to the Yeah,
you gotta go to the sort. Oh there goes the
clam chowder endorsement three nine. We'll come back.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
We'll have a Friday for in about a half hour
and have fun with us on news Radio eleven ten Kfab.
Emory's songer on news radio eleven ten kfab. First of all,
I was handed a gift by just like the hilariousness
of him, Donald Trump. President Trump was talking to the
people who are governors for all fifty states, and he
(17:06):
calls out the main governor, Janet Mills, and basically says,
you're not You say you're not going to comply with
the Transgender Athletes bill, and she said no, I'm going
to follow state and federal law. And he's like, well,
we are federal law, which is funny. And then basically
it evolves to the point where he said you better
or you're not getting any federal funding. And then Janet
Mills says, I'll see you in court and he's like, yeah,
that'll go real Well. It was hilarious, a great forty
(17:28):
five seconds. I'm sure he's gonna get worn out by
all the news talk people out there. But now the
other thing here, and I just this is my perspective
on this is we kind of like, well, what would
happen if we went to war with Maine? And we
just had a lot of fun like asking the AI
(17:49):
systems like what that meant? And then you had a
really funny idea, what would it say if somebody tried
to go to war with Nebraska. I feel like it
was only fair, you know, all right, So what you
asked you asked groc which is Elon's hey I model,
and he just got a new one. This is like
the three point Oho Grock. So what does it have
to say?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I just didn't want people thinking that we were unfairly
targeting Maine.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
And also, you know, I don't know this is uh,
and Main's in a weird spot because it's bordering Canada,
so it was kind of like that back door of
like Canada could protect it theoretically. I just.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I mean, I just feel like Maine, you know, I
don't know that's the one right there, Like I wouldn't
want I wouldn't be.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Messing around with the Maine. I'm just saying, you're kind
of asking for trouble from Canada. And they got the
water there and they got a bunch of lobsters, so
you know, like those things. Sometimes if you get a
hold of one of those, they won't let you go Anyway,
what did it say?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
First off, I want to say, groc did not like
that I asked this question and I am absolutely on
a list.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Now, okay, so there you go. Well I do to
entertain you. I was gonna say that case hopefully you
weren't trying to go anywhere too crazy, Uh, with the
wrong people.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Dude, they're gonna they're gonna see that post from earlier
this week of me standing out in the snow, George.
It's gonna be it's gonna be misinterpreted. Here we go.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
This is the start. This is why I don't do
stuff online. I'm seeing the start of my demise right here.
They're gonna like the silly stance I was taking.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
They're gonna find a way to make that some sort
of like, you know, bad stance with with ill intent.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
It's not wasn't it. It wasn't you called it. You
called it the you in the face stance. Don't you dare?
Don't you even dare? This is my fighting stance. If
anybody gets within five ft, I'm gonna start punching them.
That's that's what you told me. That stance was.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
That is actually that is actually modeled off of the
way these two comedians who used to have an adult
swim show, Tim and Eric. They used to walk like
that with their hands out. It was a very unnatural
way to walk. It's a weird way to walk. It's
a weird way to tell.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
People what it would take to Okay what Grox said
about going to war with Nebraska.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Grox said, oh wait, this is Maine. Again, I need
to scroll down hold on. GROX said that if this
is a hypothetical insurgency or a secession plot, vsca's sparse
population under two million and armed rural folks would make
it scrappy and hard to hold.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Mmm.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Winter blizzards and endless prairie would grind down invaders without
solid logistics.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Hmmm, that's pretty interesting. He's not wrong. You want to
know what the CHATGBT said. Well, Sam Altman's machine said,
are you just testing hypothetical scenarios or are you really
cooking up a wild alternate history or fiction idea. It
asked me that, and I was like, just tell me,
how would you go to war with Nebraska? Well, he says, well,
(20:36):
if you're thinking about going to war with Nebraska, you'd
be dealing with the state that has wide open planes,
a ton of agriculture, and some of the toughest, most
self sufficient people in the country. If this is just
a thought experiment, how would someone try to take over Nebraska?
It would depend on the strategy a military approach would
have to contend with this. Flat open land makes large
(20:57):
scale movements visible, but also makes defense positions harder to hold.
That's some Civil War stuff there too, right when you're
kind of like in the flatlands in different spots where
the Civil War was fighting. That's a lot of what
was being reported. There's not high ground to hold, and
it makes it very difficult because you could basically see
everything that's going on because there isn't really a lot
of good places to hide next not the largest, but
(21:20):
people are armed, independent and resilient. Chat GPT does know.
As far as infrastructure, control over highways, railways, and agriculture
would be key. I mean, that's everything here, isn't it
outside of the city of Omaha. I mean, like, if
you have control over the highways, railways, and agriculture, you
got the state and then off at air Force Base.
Makes it a huge target if somebody actually wanted to
(21:43):
try to come in and take it over, which now
that you mentioned it, we would probably just have to
fortify that first, wouldn't we if somebody did like it.
Maine says these two dufices in Nebraska are cooking up
a plot to come and invade Maine. We need to
beat them to the punch. Let's get some people into
Nebraska and see what they're all about. Now you think
(22:04):
it Maine's gonna invade Nebraska. As far as this example,
I don't see Maine as being the type to be
very offensive when it comes to military movements. But what
I will say is I think we're like minded enough
with South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas that we could call one
of them if somebody wanted to try to take a
silver but they would have to start with off It.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
But if Maine is invading Nebraska, they're going to need
a sympathetic border state to be able to stack up
their armaments.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah, and Colorado is that. But there's enough rule people
between all the Libs in Colorado and eastern Colorado, which
has a lot of rural farming ranching types. And I
don't know if you're going to get a lot of
sympathy from the people that are butted right up against
that border. And even if they are, that's the opposite
area that you want to start trying to take over.
I mean, really the most important stuff that Nebraska has
(22:55):
no disrespect to the great farmers and ranchers around the state.
But if you don't have off It and you don't
have like a stance in Omaha or Lincoln, do you
really have anything like from a military perspective, like, we
could absolutely keep you out of every everywhere else and
even if you wanted to try to target some of
that area, as long as we fortified off it in
(23:18):
the metropolitan areas, we're going to come get you. In
western Nebraska. There's no hide for you out there.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, but my worry would be that they would dam
up the rivers around the state, how they get to
the Missouri River.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Iowa would absolutely join us in this ply. Okay, so
we got Iowa with us, Oh, no doubt, especially when
it's talk we're talking about that river right that river
flows into Iowa. Well not really, but I mean like
it's there. It touches them, It touches them for a
long time, like not just one place. It's like our
border with them is basically that river. So you know, yeah,
(23:53):
why wouldn't they jump in to try to help protect
it unless they say, you know what, we hate those
guys too, Come on, man, let's go get them. Could
you imagine it's like, wow, what a heel turned by Iowa?
Gee whiz?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Yeah, I mean maybe Iowa was just kind of sick
and maybe they're sick and tired of be in Nebraska junior.
You know, don't start this. I'm just saying, like I
could see not what it is. I could see Iowa
turning heel. I really could.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Iowa is not Nebraska.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
They're out there and they're thinking, you know what, we're
really really sick and tired of being Nebraska junie.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Iowa has more people. Iowa was a state first. Iowa
has a lot going on that Nebraska doesn't have going on.
And there's a lot of Nebraska has going on that
Iowa doesn't have going on. To be fair, but I'm
just saying, like, be careful what you're asking for here,
colin Iowa Nebraska Junior, because that certainly is not the case.
(24:43):
But do you know what Iowa doesn't have? What?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Five shiny championships in what and the only sport that matters?
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Oh No, you can't say that, though, because if you
say that, then what's going to be the response, Like, Okay,
so who's won the those games recently? Oh recncy bias.
I see, I don't. I don't want to Iowa to
beat Nebraska by any means, but you're opening up that
can of worms when you say, oh, we got all
these championships from before I was born. Yeah, Nebraska is
(25:14):
a little bit like Uncle Rico. I'll admit that. Okay,
there you go. You know Uncle Rico to Napoleon Dynamite. Yeah,
Maine is coming in there getting us. If that's who
we are, that's who we are. And South Dakota is
Kip and we are totally screwed. South Dakota is Kip.
So we got it.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
So you're telling me that I was gonna pull South
Dakota into town to learn some taekwondo.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yeah, but we the taekwondo guys is just like these
people are helpless.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Let me just put it this way, Emery. As long
as Starla's on our team, we are golden baby.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
You think I go home to Starla without these bad
boys on, forget about it. It is three forty eight
Napoleon Dynamite reference on KFAB. Mostly it just has to
do with the fact that you know five national titles
and the only sport that matters according to which you're
alluding to football, I'm certainly not going to say college basketball. Yeesh, Well,
(26:08):
how about this. I knew this was going to happen,
and David beat me to the punch. Love the show
but tell Matt to look at Iowa wrestling national championships.
Hawkeyes have won twenty four national titles, thirty seven Big
Ten championships, I was fifty five NCAA champions Like the
individual champions have won a total of eighty five individual championships,
(26:30):
crowning seven three timers and sixteen two time champions. The
Hawkeys one hundred and eighteen Big Ten champions have combined
for two hundred and ten total conference titles. Have you
messed with a wrestler? Wrestling is an incredibly important sport
to the Midwest, and you can't tell me it doesn't matter.
So you open the can of worms. David has the
(26:51):
evidence and shared it with us, and gotta be honest
with you. You had it coming.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to refute that. I
understand it. But again I said, I said what I said.
And then Elephant's memories one hundred percent or something like that.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I don't know what is that.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Horton, here's a who. I don't really have anything to
say about. You know, Horton, here's a who.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
But you don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Urdle the Turtle, I you know what Youurdle of the
Turtle didn't didn't log itself into the memory bank, but
when I looked it up, I did. I did remember
it once I saw it, but I don't know, you know,
I guess, really, well, what are we really talking about here,
doctor Seuss, Well, that's what we're talking about just right then,
But I'm talking about overall. The conversation here is if Maine,
hypothetically speaking, you're just tuning in, if you're just shooting in,
(27:34):
you have no idea what's going on.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I'm so sorry. By the way, Hypothetically, if Maine, we've
sus into Colorado, well well wait, wait, we have suggested
we go to Maine and invade them, or what Donald
Trump would do if you know, Maine just decided to
you know, secede from the Union because they don't they
want transgender women to you know, play female sports or whatever.
(27:55):
You know, he was arguing with her about that. You know,
there are some challenges that invading Maine would create. And
then you know, we were thinking long enough about this,
we were like, okay, but what happened if somebody tried
to come into Nebraska? And I just used Maine as
an example, because you know, they'd be the ones that'd
be mad at us.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Well, you thought that you thought that maybe Maine would
go into Colorado, recruit the colorado Ins and then invade Us,
I guess from the west.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Well, I mean, if let's be honest, what's Main's population
Maine population, I would is it more than Nebraska? It
almost be. They are one point four oh five less
than Nebraska one point four to oh five. Nebraska is
right it too, So they are five hundred thousand people
they're in an Omaha short of having Nebraska's population. My
(28:44):
whole thing is, how are you gonna get to Nebraska.
You can't just waltz into Omaha and you're gonna need
some friends, wouldn't you rather? Uh, yeah, you're gonna need
some friends on.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
The way, and you probably don't want to waltz right
into Omaha. That's not a good idea. You probably want
to go in the back way. You know, you want
to go through Colorada. How many you need to stretch
the people out? If we're two populous dents in eastern Nebraska.
And this goes for Lincoln as well, So yeah, all
of the stuff that you really want if you're gonna
beat Nebraska and you're gonna like take over Nebraska. You're
gonna need to eventually get to off it. You're gonna
(29:18):
need to take control of I eighty between Lincoln, and
you're gonna need to cut off the supply line between
Lincoln and Omaha. But you know, we can condense into
that small space if we need to. My bet best
guest though, is we have the manpower to maintain a
good stronghold in both those places and keep our roadways clear.
And even if you try to invade us with friends
(29:40):
from the West, we will be able to repel you
because the Panhandle isn't that big of a space for
us to have to push you back from. And if
we need to Wyoming, I mean, who they who are
they gonna help? They would love to see Colorado go away.
You think you look at South Dakota. Of course they're
gonna help us out Kansas.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
What if Colorado promises some of some of the Panhandle
to them to South Dakota. No, to Wyoming, Oh to Wyoming.
They like to stretch out a little well, politically speaking,
they are on different wavelengths, that's for sure. But if
if they were like, hey, if we'll split this sixty forty,
if you jump on board. What does Wyoming need that for?
I gotta be honest. The only way I see this
(30:20):
plane out. We're probably gonna lose the panhandle at first.
We're gonna have to turtle a little bit. We're gonna
lose that panhandle and we're gonna have to regroup, and
then we're gonna have to, you know, have some meetings
with you know, Nova Scotia, you know moderators who are
gonna say, look, the borders are not going to go
back to pre war borders. You're just gonna have to
do this, but we'll get you some sort of you know,
(30:41):
mineral deal with Virginia to make sure everything goes Okay, okay,
that sound familiar, ladies and gentlemen. Here's the radio eleven
