We're going to keep you posted onthat. You can call in if you're
(00:01):
seeing anything out there for two fivefive eight eleven ten four oh two five
five eight eleven ten. If wedo find ourselves in a situation where we
have to go into storm coverage,we will keep you post it. For
the for the most part, lookslike, yeah, here we are,
we're working on. We're working onjust seeing if this's just this consistent rain.
(00:28):
It could be a lot of rain, but it's consistent rain in the
area. Lincoln is kind of onthe tail end of what it looks like
right now. It's just a lotof rain and if anything spruce is up.
There is a little spot just tothe south of Columbus right now on
the radar that seems to like bepicking up some steam basically due west of
(00:50):
Omaha, a couple of counties over, So we'll keep you posting on that
as that approaches us as well.But it's just a small, little aggressive
looking rainstorm and we'll let you knowhow that looks. So thanks for listening
to us today. My name isEmery Songres. We talked about Matt Cases
on the phones doing the phones.If you're calling now, We'll get through
(01:10):
you, and I'll love to talkto you. Whether you're seeing something out
there, whether related, or youwant to talk about something related into politics
or something related into the news.We absolutely welcome that didn't want to talk
about a national poll that was talkedabout specifically what people are thinking about after
the debate on a national level.Several Democrats are involved in the conversation.
(01:34):
This was done by USA Today andSuffolk University. Latest head to head is
Donald Trump with a forty one percentto thirty eight percent lead. That's still
within the margin of error, Sobetween the two candidates is still not a
wide margin. But if you're talkingabout where this same poll was a couple
of months ago, they were adead heat, everything was tied. Rfk
(01:57):
Junior notably also finds himself losing support. He is now just eight percent in
this brand new survey. So moreand more information is coming out that more
and more people just kind of jumpingoff the rfk ol bandwagon. And what
do we say about this? Right? Can we definitively say that the note
if he wasn't viable enough to generateenough steam to get on a debate stage
(02:23):
then and what is it going totake. I don't. Yeah, there
are so many things about life generallythat make no sense to me. I
feel like, fifty years from now, if you just did a blind survey
of all of the things around thiselection, and then you're gonna tell me
there wasn't a viable third party candidate. Well, we thought, based on
(02:46):
people on both sides talking about RFKis like a possibility, and he was
getting somewhere between fifteen to twenty percentand a lot of polls, and it's
just as time's gone on, Ithink more and more people are just kind
of like, you know what,never mind, I don't want to waste
my vote now. I understand I'mjust speaking objectively here, but think about
fifty years from now. I tellyou one of the candidates was convicted of
(03:07):
a felony while campaigning, the otherwas going through clear signs of dementia while
campaigning, and their average age ofseventy nine and a half, And you're
telling me there was no third partycandidate. Get out of here without proper
context. Absolutely, that sounds prettywild. Yeah. Yeah, our grandchildren
(03:28):
would be like, say, wait, what happened there? What was wrong
with you guys? What was goingon? Then yeah, no, they
there. It's kind of like theloss of translation stuff, right, Like
there's so much that went on withlike Vietnam for instance, Like if you
go back and you watch a lotof Vietnam stuff and how we got into
that and how we ended up gettingout of it, like that whole decade
worth of time. There's a lotthat just is lost to history because it's
(03:50):
not talked about. You only haveso many words in textbooks, you only
have so many you only have somany minutes in TV document enturies. Right
now, if you're actively looking formore Vietnam information, you're gonna find a
lot of that stuff out. Butit's there's so much more to it than
just, hey, we wanted tointervene kind of thing. There was a
(04:11):
lot of like it's a Molotov cocktailand there were a lot of people with
their hands in it, and wejust don't talk about it like that anymore.
And that's probably gonna be what thisera is as well. The only
difference is we look back on thatera fondly for the music that it had
and some of the artistic expressionism,and you know what, we have Taylor
(04:32):
Swift charging four thousand dollars per ticket. Yeah, there's some really good music
out there. You just got toknow where to look. Yeah, but
it's really good country music too.Charlie Crockett, I love Charlie Crockett.
I love Charlie. Here's the deal, Matt. Popular music of the day
back then was woodstock. Okay,that's the stuff that you and I continuously
talk about in lawed as like legitimatelyincredible timeless music. That's fair? What
(04:56):
is that here? It's all undergroundstuff for the taste that we have.
Yeah, the truly timeless music oftoday is stuff that nobody's actually listening to,
Like a very small amount of peopleare listening to. And that's the
unfortunate thing. I don't want tohear about Sabrina Carpenter's new song. I
didn't even know she made music untilI got bombarded with it on social media.
(05:16):
I was for sure that was GirlMeets World, isn't it? Is
she girl Meets World? How shegot famous? She is one of the
she is one of the many nowformer Disney. Yeah, but she was
Girl Meets World? Was she?Okay? Okay? And if it's something
weird about looking at that, youknow, I watched a couple episodes of
that TV show because I was like, is this anything like Boys Boy Meets
World? And it like is likefuller House, Like there was carry over
(05:41):
with some of the continuity and thecharacters, and it was cool to see
some of the guys being a littleolder and stuff. But you're just kind
of like, now that girl isthis kind of provocative, you know,
twenty something year old pop sensation.I don't know if it makes me feel
weird. Doesn't it make you feelweird? You watched her when she was
like fifteen years old? Is thatjust me? You know? What makes
(06:01):
me feel weird? Anything that JojoSiwa does? Oh oh yeah, take
a break from the cameras. What'sgoing on there? I mean I thought
everybody liked her, and then shegot old. And by old, she's
like twenty four, but still it'sold enough to worry stuff that we associate
her with. When you're a childstar, I mean, when you're a
(06:24):
child star, you know, letme put it this way. I hope
nobody televises my midlife crisis. Yeah, but she's twenty four. She was
a child star. It checks out. Oh, I mean, I'm just
saying, like morbid. I'm maybenot in a literal timeline sense, but
you have to be in the publiceye for that long. I mean this
(06:44):
always happens. Oh well, ifyou got thoughts on Jojo Siwa, Sabrina
Carpenter or any other person that issuper popular now that you have no idea
why or having a hard time understandingif it's a good idea for you to
be enjoying in their art, youcan call in at four h two,
five, five, eight, eleventen on news radio eleven ten Kfab Emrie's
songer on news radio eleven ten kfab. Guy getting arrested on a platform,
(07:11):
like a train platform for eating asandwich waiting for the platform and a police
officer says that you're eating and that'sagainst California law. Wow, this like
a new diet thing or I don'tknow, I'm trying to It's like it's
against the law to eat. You'llend up going to jail. I'm watching
(07:32):
this. I don't want there's there'scurse words. Obviously, this guy's trying
to talk to this police officer againstCalifornia law. You know, if if
your state had an obesity problem,that is one way to fix it.
Okay, it's I mean, California, this is California. Gavin Newsom cannot
be the president of the United States. This is his California. You know
(07:54):
what. I'm just throwing that outthere. This is apparently from like five
years ago. It's just got intoas many cars as you want. But
if you eat one sandwich in California, no, no, I'm like,
I don't. It's five years ago. It's just now making the remaking the
rounds. But wow, it's weird. It's weird. So breaking news here.
(08:18):
Donald Trump sentencing was scheduled for Julythe eleventh for his hush money trial
or whatever you want to call it. I know somebody's going to call in
and yell at Matt because they calledit a hush money trial. What do
you think, Matt, July eleventh? That makes sense, right, it's
like six weeks after the verdict day. Is that usually how timelines go?
I think so, especially for likehigh profile situation. So sentencing, Yeah,
(08:41):
the sentencing and then after he sentenceswhen he has the ability to appeal.
Ah, you make you know whatI mean, He's got to be
sentenced to appeal, right, guesswhat? Well, because of the Supreme
Court ruling or decision or opinion onpresidential immunity yesterday, they have officially delayed
that until September eighth. Eighth,wow, if such is still necessary?
(09:03):
According to Judge Wan Mershan, whichbasically says, hey, you know,
we may have just wasted all ofour time here, but yeah, so
official acts again, the reasoning likeanything related to this trial, I would
I mean, you have to aska question like, is anything that he
officially is being convicted for with thosethirty four counts? Is that an official
(09:26):
act? Is that what we're waitingfor? We have to figure out if
that's an official acts so the convictioncan be upheld. Is is that what
we're talking about here? September eighteenth? It's going to take that long?
How could they be because this isall before it would have been before.
Again, I'm not going to pretendto know exactly what's going on. Okay,
I'm sorry, I hate to bethis guy, but I have no
idea what's going on here? Arewe all getting played? Is this all
(09:48):
just like a TV show? Likethe whole thing meant for our entertainment and
to rile us up? It mightbe. Have you seen that new TV
show. I think it's just calledjury Duty. It's about it where it
is it the whole show. It'skind of one of those everybody's in on
it except one person, and they'rethe unknown star of the show. So
it's this fake trial. There's afake jury, a fake judge, everybody.
(10:11):
Some of them are actors. Someof them are just pulled off the
street, but they know they're acting, but they know they're acting. There's
one guy who thinks it's real andthe whole season is about his experience.
Okay, Well, anyway, Septembereighteenth. You know what's nasty about that?
That's my birthday. Oh you wantto know what else? That's the
(10:33):
day I land in Spain. Soif this actually happens, I don't get
to talk about it. And that'stough because you know it's your birthday,
you're out of the country on vacation. The last thing you want to do
is have to be plugged in.But you've got this huge news, potentially
massive news. Right, Yeah,you know what you want to know something?
I'm just gonna go ahead and pullthe curtain back for all your listeners
(10:54):
out there. I'm not going tobe paying at in to do it.
I don't blame you. I'm inSpain. Yeah, you know what's gonna
happen. They're gonna make this decision, probably the here. He's gonna be
in the morning. Okay, I'mgonna be on a plane. Wait,
no, I won't because I'm likei'd be like seven hours ahead, so
I have to think of that.So like by the time I'm landing,
(11:15):
they'll be doing this. I landin like early to mid afternoon. But
then I'm getting on a bus fromMadrid and I'm going to Barcelona, and
you know what, I am noteven gonna look. I don't even I
haven't even figured out if how Ican or may or may not be able
to use my phone, right,you got to like buy a card to
be able to do that. AndI'm spending part of my vacation in Andorra,
(11:35):
you know Andorra, the little micronationbetween Spain and France, and you
can't that doesn't even work there,So I literally have to turn my data
off and I won't be able touse it at all while I'm in there.
Otherwise I'm gonna get charged like fiftybucks for every meg I use or
something. It's a bad deal.That's what I'm trying to tell you.
They want people off their phones inANDORRA is basically my point. If you're
(11:56):
a tour to stay off your phone, why don't we do that? You
want to know how to really getpeople off their phone. Make cell phone
data like insanely expensive, and thennobody will be able to afford it,
That's what I say. But thenagain, everybody be like, actually,
that's an infringement on our freedom andyou shouldn't be able to do that.
Oh okay, so go back tolandlines. I was just thinking, you
know, well you don't need datato make calls and texts, you know,
(12:20):
it's just like you need data tobe able to you know, Look
up, did Donald Trump get sentencedto life in prison? Which is not
on the table, by the way, I just made that up anyway.
Yeah, so Donald Trump, ifyou're wondering, wow, July eight is
eleven. That's a big day.He gets sentenced in the Hushmuenny trial.
That's no longer the case. Itis officially delayed until September eighteenth, And
they don't even know if we're goingto make that based on how all this
(12:41):
other stuff is going on so Idon't know. I'm guessing we just need
time to figure out what official actsare. That's my guess. All right,
So to twenty eight. You knowwhat I want to talk about it
I don't want to talk about politics. Talked about politics a lot yesterday.
You know what I'm going to talkabout. If you're you have friends I
have kids and they have a playdate, or if your kid who's like
(13:03):
four years old goes to daycare,has a friend and wants to have a
play date, and you like correlatethat with other set of parents, what
responsibility do you potentially have if youaren't hosting that, and should you be
considered like to pay for some ofthe activities. I'll explain and we'll discuss
(13:24):
coming up here on news radio eleventen kfab. You know what a dog
play date is. It's when youand your friends that also have dogs come
up with an excuse for you tohang out. And I don't know about
you, but you know, I'mjust really wanting to hang out with the
people. My dogs like seeing otherdogs. It just kind of depends on
how big they are whether or notit's a hazard for my larger dogs,
(13:48):
especially PJ, who can get quiteanimated. But you know, for the
most part, you have all thisstuff that you could do with the humans,
you know, play some games orhave some drinks or watch something,
and you call it a dogy playdate. Right. I don't know if
that's how it works for children,and I'm not going to pretend to know.
Yeah, I saw this on socialmedia. Apparently this is something that
we are I don't know who's doingthis or what the I like. I'm
(14:15):
just gonna play it all right,and hopefully it plays properly and hopefully,
you know, I don't think there'sa curse word or anything in there,
but it's a sixty second TikTok orwhatever of a woman explaining her philosophy on
playdates. And then we're going torevisit this and talk through what the viability
of this kind of thing is.So let's go ahead and fire away.
(14:35):
Can we normalize sending the other familymoney for playdates? So recently my daughter
had a friend of her and Iasked her mom for money, and this
is how went. So after theplay dated text her moment, I said,
thanks for letting Jamie play today,Please help out with your share of
the expenses. For the playdate,totaling fifteen dollars VIAVMO. Let's do it
again sometime, because I can't keepdoing these playdates if it's so expensive.
(14:58):
And she said expenses, and Isaid, yeah, she used supplies and
food while she was here, andthis way we can do this more often
without a monetary obligation on just oneparty. Right makes sense. No,
she didn't say much, but shedid say what supplies, and of course
I wrote them down. There waschalk, apple, sauce, fruit,
She sat on the couch. That'swear and tear. She Ashley broke a
(15:20):
toy, She had three juice boxes, she went to the bathroom, she
had yogurt. Then she actually sentthe money and I sent her a message
thanking her for it. Of courseshe didn't say anything else, but I
said, you know, this willmake it easier for us to do more
play dates in the future. Sowhat do you guys think? So what
do we think? I mean,I don't have a kid, so like
(15:41):
I'm going to just tell you anon kid opinion is that, Okay,
can I have clearance? Matt?Can you speak for the rest of the
world. Do I have clearance asa non kid person? To speak on
kid issues here, Yeah, youcan. I feel like, I feel
like non kid people can have anopinion on this one. I'm guessing that
that's going to be true across theboard for this one, because there's a
(16:02):
lot of specific things about this thatit could apply to other situations. Yeah,
please please, okay, okay.My first one, My first opinion
is, how are you not askingfor the money beforehand? If that's your
like, if your brain is inthat space, that should be a conversation
you have before the play date.I feel like, right, I don't.
(16:23):
I'll get into this to the playdate part of it, But is
that not like kind of the ethicsof just blindsiding somebody after the fact with
asking them for money seems to bethe biggest sin of this entire thing.
I mean, we can talk aboutthe whole thing as a sin in general,
and that's kind of how I feel. But I'm not going to fault
(16:47):
somebody for kind of being in theheadspace of Look, if I want to
have the ability to host these things, and I have no problem doing that
work, I would just like acouple of bones being thrown my way.
That sounds crazy to me, butI can understand how that head space works
because I felt the same way aboutother non related things, like I drove
all the way over here to helpyou with work, yet I'm getting paid
(17:10):
what And you got paid like actualmoney. I got paid nothing or something
like that. Right, my brainthinks, it's just like that doesn't equate
to fairness, and I know thatI'm gonna get a bunch of emails saying
the life's not fair. I'm justsaying, if your head is in that
space, that should be something youprobably should talk about before you invite the
kid over. Am I onto somethingthere? Yeah? That was the first
thing that I thought as well.When she got to that point in the
(17:33):
audio, I just thought to myself, you didn't mention this beforehand. Yeah,
so you're instantly like, you're instantlyon the wrong side of this issue
based on your approach. It doesn'teven matter if you had a good point
to this. I don't think shedid, But even if she did,
your approach was so wrong that youspoiled whatever attempt you made at having a
good idea in a good relationship.Right, Yeah, what's the chances of
(17:56):
the girl getting to have a playdate over there? Now you know you
know what I would do. Youknow what the spiteful me would do in
this situation is I wouldn't want tospoil a friendship between the two girls,
So I'm going to invite them tomy house and not ask for money.
Yes, I don't think that's spiteful. I think that is what do they
say, like, show your actionsand that's that's showing in your actions,
(18:19):
not your words kind of thing.And does she voluntarily pay me back?
Does she voluntarily say, okay,now here's fifteen dollars for what my daughter
did at your house. I doubtit, But even then you would be
like, no, I don't wantyour money. That's not how this is
supposed to work. You know.What it's supposed to work is that you
do a play date, and thenwe do a play date if we want
(18:41):
to, you know, if wecare about that sort of thing, if
we care about sharing that responsibility.I think it's important for the socialization of
our kids. Let's do that,not not to just be like, hey,
you need to pay me money ifI'm hosting our daughters all the time.
But that doesn't sound like this iswhat happened. This is like a
the first time that they hung out, and she basically and what about the
(19:07):
price. Can we talk about thepricing here? Where's she getting this units
of measurement chalk? One dollar?How much chalk did she use? And
how expensive is the chalk that she'susing? Like I would need like spiteful
memory is going to be like,show me how much chalk she used?
How are you one dollar to useyour chalk? And you know what,
(19:30):
if we're talking about spiteful, Imight just go over myself, knock on
the door and say can I giveyou five dollars just to go sit on
your couch? Well that was onedollar set on couch wear and tear one
dollar. One dollar because a kitsat on the couch. Now come on
that. As soon as she saidthat, I was like, there's got
this has got to be an engagementtroll. There's no way this is real,
(19:52):
you know what? But I can'tput it past people because people think
like this right, They're just like, hey, you're you're you're basically pawning
your kid off on me for likefree, like what essentially is free childcare
for a few hours while we callit a playdate. You're not over your
hanging out with me? It's justyour kid. I would think to myself,
you know what, like, yeah, my good daughter's getting something out
(20:14):
of it. But unless we're reciprocating, my brain would kind of go into
a spot where it's just like,hey, you know, could you send
her with some lunch or something orwhatever. That my brain would go there,
not that I would necessarily like askfor money. My brain would just
be thinking just like, Okay,well I hope that you know, I
can send my daughter over there too. But as soon as she said sat
on the couch, wear and there, I mean, come on, what
are we talking about here? Larry'son our phone line at four h two
(20:36):
five five eight eleven ten. Larry, you got some thoughts on this?
Yeah, I totally agree with whatyou've been saying. This is something that
parents should offer to each other.And if she wants to charge for use
of things, it should be clearedbefore at the beginning, you know.
And we're going to be using Chuck, and we're going to this, and
we're going to use that, andI'd like five dollars they'll cover my expenses.
(21:02):
But he used the bathroom and justsit on the couch. Yeah,
those are he's opening the door tobe smashed right back. But I'm sure
the other lady could give her abill for twenty dollars for her little girl
to come play there. Yeah.Yeah, the whole thing is wrong business.
Neighbors are supposed to be neighbors,and I think she was way out
of place in the whole everything.Now, I'm with you, Larry Hair.
(21:23):
I appreciate you calling in, man, Thanks for listening to us.
If there's a if you got thoughtson this, and I got some more
thoughts, well we'll break down afew more points of this, but I'd
love to hear from you on this. You can call in at four two
five five eight eleven ten charging tohost toddler playdates? How do you feel
about it? News Radio eleven ten. Kfab, a woman on social media,
(21:48):
posted that she wants to normalize parentspaying other parents that are hosting playdates
of their kids. In fact,she outlined an entire bill that included several
items, one of which was goingto the bathroom three trips three dollars.
No way, that's a that's that'sa dollar per trip to the bathroom.
(22:11):
No way on here, No way, Sarah's on our phone line four two
five eight to eleven ten. Sarah, welcome to the show. What do
you think about this? Well,as a mother, I'm actually appalled by
this woman. All she is doingis setting up for her child to not
have any threat going forward. Yeah, and you know, I don't know
(22:33):
about most other parents, but whenI buy chalk or certain toys and games
for my son, I don't doit for beside this PlayStation. I don't
do it for him to entertain himself. It's for him to socialize and play
with others. Right, Well,you want to know something else, Sarah,
about this? I think you nailedit on the head. Her daughter's
(22:56):
going to end up losing more outof this than anybody else's over a solitary
fifteen dollars or whatever. I'm sure. I'm sure the daughter would have said,
you know, in the future,that fifteen dollars wasn't worth losing friends
over. You know what I mean? Oh? Absolutely so. I don't
know. Social skills are very importantwith children, and she's she's just basically
(23:19):
hurting her own child. Sarah,I appreciate you calling in. Thanks so
much for listening to our show today. Thank you, great day. Yep,
you two. Here's the other here'syou want another one, here's another
part. Okay, the wear andtear. One dollar to sit on the
couch, one dollar for chalk,three jukes boxes are two dollars. Three
(23:42):
chips to the bathroom worth three dollars. Like where she's getting Where is she
getting these units of currency. It'sjust like when you play roller coaster Tycoon,
you start charging for the bathroom,people stop showing up to your park.
I'm telling you she's not gonna haveany more friends. She sent the
(24:02):
money, she sent the money,so so, and she shows a receipt
of the money. And again,I'm how do you respond to this?
And again, I'm going to trymy best to be as understanding as possible,
because I know where some people's brainsare at. Although a couple of
people in the email say this isa joke and I're falling for it,
I'm I don't think this is entirelya joke for some people. There's some
(24:26):
really good jokesters out there. It'salways possible, but sure, sure,
but let's just pretend like this isone hundred percent accurate and one hundred percent
I think the most troubling part aboutthis is the fact that how would you
have handled on the other end,because I wouldn't have paid the money.
I'll be honest with you. Ilike and again, I don't know what
these people's relationship is with each other. I don't know if they're just acquaintances
(24:49):
that their daughters like each other andone of them decided to send and does
that? Is that something people do? It's like, oh, my four
year old went todaycare found friend andwants to go spend the night with her
friend or spend some time with herfriend. I don't know those people at
all, am I okay? Justsending her to their house? I don't
know where they live. Is thatsomething people do out there? Yeah?
(25:11):
My instinct, My instinct would be, hey, instead of paying you fifteen,
how about play time? Is thatmy place? That's what I was
sure, or I would have atleast challenged some of those units, at
the very least a dollar for couchwearing tear. She's like, you have
her on dog status. She can'tget on the sofa. I don't know
(25:32):
if you got thoughts on this.You can call this four oh two,
five five eight to eleven ten fouroh two, five, five eight eleven
ten, plenty more coming up inan interview with a brand new Omaha supernova
coming up in the next hour aswell on Wait News A ready eleven ten?
Kaybe that's the one. Why isit raining so much? Yeah,
we had a couple of weeks therewhere we were cool, but it's just
(25:52):
so much. We don't need thismuch. It's so much rain. Why
do we need so much? Whatdo we do here? I do kind
of like it for the foliage.Oh stop. Hey, I was walking
around Lake Cunningham and standing Bear Lakethis last weekend and just really enjoying the
canopy. I went to Glenwood ArchaeologicalReserve on the Iowa side. Yeah it's
(26:18):
okay, you know, it's prettygood. But yeah, a lot of
birds, a lot of a lotof greenery. It was just nice and
you know, not have rain onme for the weekend, which is great.
A little outside time. Yeah,I played a thing last hour.
We were talking about having to payfor play dates, right h Tracy emailed
(26:41):
in and said this might be ajoke. And again we're not ruling out
that it could be a joke,you know, And I mean I still
think it's we're talking about because peopleare talking about it as if it's real.
It could be. I don't thinkthat this is out of the realm
of possibility of what someone would postonline. Well, yeah, just for
the content. But also it's notcrazy to me to think that somebody of
(27:02):
our generation would be thinking about this, especially if they were brought up frugal.
Right, I was brought up frugal. But it's just socially completely awkward
to have that conversation, especially ifyou didn't talk about it beforehand. Well,
there's a lot of background too.Imagine a scenario where you are the
go to house for all play datesand it's kind of just been that way
(27:23):
and that would get old. Yeah, and maybe you're just kind of you're
feeling it in your pocketbook and you'rekind of like, you know, how
do I, as she put sheused the word normalize this? How do
I normalize this behavior? I don'tthink it's going to happen writ large,
but maybe in your special circumstances oryou just have to be brave enough to
have those conversations beforehand. You can'tjust be like after the fact, Hey,
(27:48):
thanks for hanging out with my kidor having your kid hang out with
my kid. Can I have fifteendollars like that. That was the wrong
way to do this. Well,anyway, said the paying mom should never
have paid. She needs to completelycut ties. It's too risky to let
that child into her home to play. If the girl falls while there and
the charging mom takes the child toa doctor, will she send the paying
(28:11):
mom the bill and then try tosue her if she doesn't pay m Now,
I mean it's a liability risk.Now do you have to sign waivers
to protect yourself for these kind ofinteractions? What have we done to the
youth of America? Well, Idon't know. Could you make some comparisons?
(28:33):
I'm talking crazy here, so backme down if nope, nope,
Crazy's good. Crazy's good. Couldyou make some comparisons to the news yesterday?
We're having conversations about things that maybeare a sign of more turbulence in
our society because we didn't have tohave this conversation before. Right, Maybe
(28:56):
I'm being a little bit hyperbolic,But what I mean though, it's kind
of like, did we need todefine those terms in a less turbulent society?
Where the example, I believe itwas it the example that you gave
that uh, the Supreme Court rulingyesterday. Yeah, theoretically, if there
were enough people in the UH inthe Senate and that and and the House,
(29:19):
they could have charged President Obama atthe time for murder of Osama bin
Lauden theoretically, theoretically, theoretically withthese with these things implied. Right,
So we're talking about things right nowthat are kind of like, you know
what, these were sort of knownthings that we didn't challenge, and now
(29:40):
we're we are and we're challenging aturbulent Wow, what a great word.
It is that there really is whatthe society is. Everybody is just a
little bit more angsty than they probablyever were before. And I'm not trying
to be the guy that wants tomake everybody like, well, we're angsty
for this reason. I don't care. That's not my point. My point
(30:00):
is we are angstier than I thinkwe ever have publicly, not that I
think people have been angsty before.Society has been definitely more angsty than now.
I mean, you can go backto colonial times that was a lot
of angst. You want to talkabout the angst before the Civil War,
there's another real angsty time in Americanhistory. Hey, if you go back
to the sixties. You want totalk about angst about everything that was going
(30:23):
on, Jim crow Law, civilrights movement, Vietnam was going on,
you had guys assassinating presidents. Imean, that was a crazy time in
the hippie movement, crazy time inAmerican history, right, that was a
turbulent society. Now Molotov cocktail gettingthrown in their social media okay, and
(30:45):
Donald Trump being kind of the firstsocial media president has resulted in so many
things about the presidency and our governmentthat many people didn't know that need to
be further clarified. Maybe this issomething that needs to be further clarified.
Also back in the day, I'msure our parents I don't know about my
parents or your parents specifically, butour parents' generation, more often than not,
(31:06):
I think, would have been alittle bit more meh about sending us
to somebody's house, like, oh, yeah, that's fine, just be
back home by whatever, or I'llcome pick you up. At this time.
Yeah, I did bowling league.That was one of the things that
I did. I liked to bowl, so I went to the bowling alley
and my parents didn't just drop meoff there like many parents did. My
(31:30):
parents were there every week, likelike when I was, you know,
ten, twelve, fourteen years old. Even my parents wanted us sit there
and watch me bowl, and theyuse that as social time to talk to
some of the other parents and allthat stuff. They knew every single person
I was in contact with, Soit's a little different than probably finding somebody
who you like at four years oldat a daycare and you know, like
(31:51):
wanting to hang out with them.I didn't really have that experience, But
I just feel like as passing generationscome, people are a little bit more
leary. I guess of the risksthat potentially are involved with sending your kid
to a strange person's house. Doesthat make sense? No, am I
(32:12):
talking out of school? There werethey more careful than I think they were.
It just feels like people are waymore careful now about what's happening.
And this is just another instance ofthis. It's like, well, I'll
host this playdate even though I maynot really want to, and I'm watching
your kid for a few hours,and they're doing all these activities and everything,
(32:34):
and I'm doing all the work andI have to clean up after them
and everything. What's in this forme kind of thing, and that I
think is more the generation that we'rein and maybe the dier like more so
maybe people just a little younger thanus. Yeah, that grew up with
the social media era being itself andthey are always asking questions, so like
well, why is this the waythat it is? Yeah? Well,
(32:54):
and to follow the conversation with youknow, the difference between generations, I
think, you know, you talkabout gen X, A lot of people
use the term latch key kids justbe home when the street light turns out
turns on, is the thought.Well, nowadays actually if you especially if
you were you know, in aneighborhood with other children, and nowadays you
(33:15):
can set up your Alexa to havea camera in every room of the house.
Yeah. Now, you know,theoretically there are children nowadays. Just
a couple of decades ago, theywere coming home when the street light came
on, completely unsupervised. Yep.Nowadays there not only are they in the
same house, but there's a cameraon them the whole time in maybe some
(33:36):
circumstances. So it's just a completelydifferent scenario growing up. Yeah, and
the camera, I mean, howmany people think that that's a really good
idea or a really bad idea,right, Like, I'm pretty much all
the way out on that. Ijust you're not You're not a camera guy.
No. I think that because becausewith that extra technology, I mean,
(33:57):
you can see what's coming out onyour front porch, you can see
every room in your house. Youcould hear anything that's happening in your house.
I mean, you could survey,like have surveillance on anything of your
property at any one time. Imean, think about air tags too.
It's just like the idea of anair tag is really cool. You know,
you put the air tags in thelike in a bag that you want
(34:20):
to make sure you have. Youwant to put an air tag where your
keys are or on your keys,something that you lose quite frequently, and
just have those air tags available.But so many people are using those to
monitor where other people are. Nowit's completely illegal, but they're doing it.
They're putting them on cars. Yeah, you know, so like there
are pluses and minuses for stuff likethat, And I don't know, I
(34:43):
think we're getting to a point whereit makes sense to ask certain questions about
the way that we've always done thingsor the way that we're doing things now.
But I also think that maybe werealize that the more of this technology
and the more of this stuff that'sgoing on, the more problems that we're
kind of creating ourselves in for oursociety, just you know, kind of
(35:04):
trying to find a balance between allof these things. One of the technology
always takes away some level of freedom. I think in a lot it can
at least, you know, soI think that that is always That is
a common agreement that we've made fora long time, like embrace new technology
and maybe lose some of your freedomalong with it. That's a conversation that's
been going on for a long time, but it has hit a boiling point
(35:29):
recently with what we're willing to giveup. Well, we'll keep talking about
certain things and let you know what'sgoing on with this. We'll talk Supernova's
with a brand new member of thesquad here momentarily, so stick around for
that as well as we fire awaysome more fun on news radio eleven ten
kfab Did you hear that the WhiteHouse is really pushing that Joe Biden did
(35:51):
the debate last Thursday with a coldand he wasn't on any cold medicine,
And that has something to do withwhy he appeared to be old and you're
buying you're buying that from from KJP. That can be you know, there
were moments when it did kind ofsound like he was, you know,
horse or maybe had a little bitstuffed up, so I could see that.
(36:15):
But a couple of things there.Why in the world was he not
on cough cold medicine? Well,I guess you know what this is.
Though, they must have been worriedthat he was going to get tested,
or or he had stuff already inassistance. They weren't worried about the test.
They were worried about how cold medicinewould you know, react to the
(36:36):
Molotov cocktail of you know, vitamins, minerals and gasoline that they shoved up
his veins right before he went onstage. I don't know, like what
I've been thinking could be dead wrong, but I think he was on absolutely
nothing. They thought, you knowwhat, either we're going to err on
the side of of just doing thatand him having a good performance and it's
(37:00):
it's gonna be fine, and howmany they wait. Maybe their plan was
for him to actually do good enoughand then test him afterwards and be like
Oh, by the way, eventhough we didn't need to here's his labs.
He was on absolutely nothing. Imean, that's that's a ploy.
I mean, because then you canyou can never have to talk about that
ever again. Exactly. It shutsit down completely. But it went the
(37:21):
other way. He looked worse thanever, because then the next day he
was all worked up in front ofthe crowd. He had his teleprompter back,
but also his energy too, sohe was back on the cocktail to
talk that. Yeah, but theteleprompter. Yeah, I mean, when
you don't have to think, right, isn't that isn't that kind of the
thing. I mean, I'm sittinghere, I'm watching two screens at the
(37:43):
same time, monitoring my time andtrying to talk at the same time.
Most of the time I said timelike four times there, five, six,
six times. How many times doyou think you can say time?
Seven? I'm not saying it anymore. So that was seven instances when he
said that word, but the restof the show without even saying I'm gonna
try really hard not to say thatword. Okay, but anyway, but
(38:06):
that's the thing. You got tothink. You gotta be sharp in this
job. I mean, doing thisjob into an advanced stage isn't easy,
and it's just talking for a living. I don't have to make any decisions.
I have to decide what we're talkingabout, but I don't have to
like sign things into law. Idon't have to go out campaigning for anything.
I guess I'm technically campaigning for listeners, but I'm just hopefully going to
(38:30):
get those by doing what I'm doing. And I don't have to go like
rallying around town every single day.I don't have to read off of a
teleprompt. I have notes. I'llread off bullet points, but I want
it to sound natural. What's hisface? Has been doing this for a
long long time, a long stinkingtime, And you know what, He's
(38:52):
practiced enough that even in his cognitivestate, he is still fairly capable compared
to a lot of America on thinkingon the fly, I think he is
as far as presidential or congressional standards, he is an F. He's an
F minus the communication skills are completelygone. And like I said, he
(39:13):
got himself into multiple traps, likeword traps where he was saying the same
thing over and over again every singleanswer. He was numbering them off,
number one, number two. Hekept saying, folks, one hundred times.
He kept saying as a matter offact, he kept saying things like
there were other ones. I don'thave them all in front of me,
but I just I was writing themdown. This guy can't stop saying this
(39:37):
stuff. So I guess my bottomline here is there's no way you can
tell me based on the things thatwere happening. Maybe he did have a
cult. I don't think it hadanything to do with the performance that he
had on front of the international televisionseventy eighty million people watching this thing.
Just no chance anyway. Speaking ofno chance, nobody had a chance to
(39:59):
beat the Omaha Souper Nova is inthe Pro Volleyball Federation Championship in their playoffs
this year, and they just wentthrough free agency and have a bunch more
new players with a lot of Nebraskapedigree. We'll talk to one of them
coming up next right here on newsRadio eleven ten KFAB and Marie Sunger on
news Radio eleven ten Kfab
We're going to keep you posted onthat. You can call in if you're
(00:01):
seeing anything out there for two fivefive eight eleven ten four oh two five
five eight eleven ten. If wedo find ourselves in a situation where we
have to go into storm coverage,we will keep you post it. For
the for the most part, lookslike, yeah, here we are,
we're working on. We're working onjust seeing if this's just this consistent rain.
(00:28):
It could be a lot of rain, but it's consistent rain in the
area. Lincoln is kind of onthe tail end of what it looks like
right now. It's just a lotof rain and if anything spruce is up.
There is a little spot just tothe south of Columbus right now on
the radar that seems to like bepicking up some steam basically due west of
(00:50):
Omaha, a couple of counties over, So we'll keep you posting on that
as that approaches us as well.But it's just a small, little aggressive
looking rainstorm and we'll let you knowhow that looks. So thanks for listening
to us today. My name isEmery Songres. We talked about Matt Cases
on the phones doing the phones.If you're calling now, We'll get through
(01:10):
you, and I'll love to talkto you. Whether you're seeing something out
there, whether related, or youwant to talk about something related into politics
or something related into the news.We absolutely welcome that didn't want to talk
about a national poll that was talkedabout specifically what people are thinking about after
the debate on a national level.Several Democrats are involved in the conversation.
(01:34):
This was done by USA Today andSuffolk University. Latest head to head is
Donald Trump with a forty one percentto thirty eight percent lead. That's still
within the margin of error, Sobetween the two candidates is still not a
wide margin. But if you're talkingabout where this same poll was a couple
of months ago, they were adead heat, everything was tied. Rfk
(01:57):
Junior notably also finds himself losing support. He is now just eight percent in
this brand new survey. So moreand more information is coming out that more
and more people just kind of jumpingoff the rfk ol bandwagon. And what
do we say about this? Right? Can we definitively say that the note
if he wasn't viable enough to generateenough steam to get on a debate stage
(02:23):
then and what is it going totake. I don't. Yeah, there
are so many things about life generallythat make no sense to me. I
feel like, fifty years from now, if you just did a blind survey
of all of the things around thiselection, and then you're gonna tell me
there wasn't a viable third party candidate. Well, we thought, based on
(02:46):
people on both sides talking about RFKis like a possibility, and he was
getting somewhere between fifteen to twenty percentand a lot of polls, and it's
just as time's gone on, Ithink more and more people are just kind
of like, you know what,never mind, I don't want to waste
my vote now. I understand I'mjust speaking objectively here, but think about
fifty years from now. I tellyou one of the candidates was convicted of
(03:07):
a felony while campaigning, the otherwas going through clear signs of dementia while
campaigning, and their average age ofseventy nine and a half, And you're
telling me there was no third partycandidate. Get out of here without proper
context. Absolutely, that sounds prettywild. Yeah. Yeah, our grandchildren
(03:28):
would be like, say, wait, what happened there? What was wrong
with you guys? What was goingon? Then yeah, no, they
there. It's kind of like theloss of translation stuff, right, Like
there's so much that went on withlike Vietnam for instance, Like if you
go back and you watch a lotof Vietnam stuff and how we got into
that and how we ended up gettingout of it, like that whole decade
worth of time. There's a lotthat just is lost to history because it's
(03:50):
not talked about. You only haveso many words in textbooks, you only
have so many you only have somany minutes in TV document enturies. Right
now, if you're actively looking formore Vietnam information, you're gonna find a
lot of that stuff out. Butit's there's so much more to it than
just, hey, we wanted tointervene kind of thing. There was a
(04:11):
lot of like it's a Molotov cocktailand there were a lot of people with
their hands in it, and wejust don't talk about it like that anymore.
And that's probably gonna be what thisera is as well. The only
difference is we look back on thatera fondly for the music that it had
and some of the artistic expressionism,and you know what, we have Taylor
(04:32):
Swift charging four thousand dollars per ticket. Yeah, there's some really good music
out there. You just got toknow where to look. Yeah, but
it's really good country music too.Charlie Crockett, I love Charlie Crockett.
I love Charlie. Here's the deal, Matt. Popular music of the day
back then was woodstock. Okay,that's the stuff that you and I continuously
talk about in lawed as like legitimatelyincredible timeless music. That's fair? What
(04:56):
is that here? It's all undergroundstuff for the taste that we have.
Yeah, the truly timeless music oftoday is stuff that nobody's actually listening to,
Like a very small amount of peopleare listening to. And that's the
unfortunate thing. I don't want tohear about Sabrina Carpenter's new song. I
didn't even know she made music untilI got bombarded with it on social media.
(05:16):
I was for sure that was GirlMeets World, isn't it? Is
she girl Meets World? How shegot famous? She is one of the
she is one of the many nowformer Disney. Yeah, but she was
Girl Meets World? Was she?Okay? Okay? And if it's something
weird about looking at that, youknow, I watched a couple episodes of
that TV show because I was like, is this anything like Boys Boy Meets
World? And it like is likefuller House, Like there was carry over
(05:41):
with some of the continuity and thecharacters, and it was cool to see
some of the guys being a littleolder and stuff. But you're just kind
of like, now that girl isthis kind of provocative, you know,
twenty something year old pop sensation.I don't know if it makes me feel
weird. Doesn't it make you feelweird? You watched her when she was
like fifteen years old? Is thatjust me? You know? What makes
(06:01):
me feel weird? Anything that JojoSiwa does? Oh oh yeah, take
a break from the cameras. What'sgoing on there? I mean I thought
everybody liked her, and then shegot old. And by old, she's
like twenty four, but still it'sold enough to worry stuff that we associate
her with. When you're a childstar, I mean, when you're a
(06:24):
child star, you know, letme put it this way. I hope
nobody televises my midlife crisis. Yeah, but she's twenty four. She was
a child star. It checks out. Oh, I mean, I'm just
saying, like morbid. I'm maybenot in a literal timeline sense, but
you have to be in the publiceye for that long. I mean this
(06:44):
always happens. Oh well, ifyou got thoughts on Jojo Siwa, Sabrina
Carpenter or any other person that issuper popular now that you have no idea
why or having a hard time understandingif it's a good idea for you to
be enjoying in their art, youcan call in at four h two,
five, five, eight, eleventen on news radio eleven ten Kfab Emrie's
songer on news radio eleven ten kfab. Guy getting arrested on a platform,
(07:11):
like a train platform for eating asandwich waiting for the platform and a police
officer says that you're eating and that'sagainst California law. Wow, this like
a new diet thing or I don'tknow, I'm trying to It's like it's
against the law to eat. You'llend up going to jail. I'm watching
(07:32):
this. I don't want there's there'scurse words. Obviously, this guy's trying
to talk to this police officer againstCalifornia law. You know, if if
your state had an obesity problem,that is one way to fix it.
Okay, it's I mean, California, this is California. Gavin Newsom cannot
be the president of the United States. This is his California. You know
(07:54):
what. I'm just throwing that outthere. This is apparently from like five
years ago. It's just got intoas many cars as you want. But
if you eat one sandwich in California, no, no, I'm like,
I don't. It's five years ago. It's just now making the remaking the
rounds. But wow, it's weird. It's weird. So breaking news here.
(08:18):
Donald Trump sentencing was scheduled for Julythe eleventh for his hush money trial
or whatever you want to call it. I know somebody's going to call in
and yell at Matt because they calledit a hush money trial. What do
you think, Matt, July eleventh? That makes sense, right, it's
like six weeks after the verdict day. Is that usually how timelines go?
I think so, especially for likehigh profile situation. So sentencing, Yeah,
(08:41):
the sentencing and then after he sentenceswhen he has the ability to appeal.
Ah, you make you know whatI mean, He's got to be
sentenced to appeal, right, guesswhat? Well, because of the Supreme
Court ruling or decision or opinion onpresidential immunity yesterday, they have officially delayed
that until September eighth. Eighth,wow, if such is still necessary?
(09:03):
According to Judge Wan Mershan, whichbasically says, hey, you know,
we may have just wasted all ofour time here, but yeah, so
official acts again, the reasoning likeanything related to this trial, I would
I mean, you have to aska question like, is anything that he
officially is being convicted for with thosethirty four counts? Is that an official
(09:26):
act? Is that what we're waitingfor? We have to figure out if
that's an official acts so the convictioncan be upheld. Is is that what
we're talking about here? September eighteenth? It's going to take that long?
How could they be because this isall before it would have been before.
Again, I'm not going to pretendto know exactly what's going on. Okay,
I'm sorry, I hate to bethis guy, but I have no
idea what's going on here? Arewe all getting played? Is this all
(09:48):
just like a TV show? Likethe whole thing meant for our entertainment and
to rile us up? It mightbe. Have you seen that new TV
show. I think it's just calledjury Duty. It's about it where it
is it the whole show. It'skind of one of those everybody's in on
it except one person, and they'rethe unknown star of the show. So
it's this fake trial. There's afake jury, a fake judge, everybody.
(10:11):
Some of them are actors. Someof them are just pulled off the
street, but they know they're acting, but they know they're acting. There's
one guy who thinks it's real andthe whole season is about his experience.
Okay, Well, anyway, Septembereighteenth. You know what's nasty about that?
That's my birthday. Oh you wantto know what else? That's the
(10:33):
day I land in Spain. Soif this actually happens, I don't get
to talk about it. And that'stough because you know it's your birthday,
you're out of the country on vacation. The last thing you want to do
is have to be plugged in.But you've got this huge news, potentially
massive news. Right, Yeah,you know what you want to know something?
I'm just gonna go ahead and pullthe curtain back for all your listeners
(10:54):
out there. I'm not going tobe paying at in to do it.
I don't blame you. I'm inSpain. Yeah, you know what's gonna
happen. They're gonna make this decision, probably the here. He's gonna be
in the morning. Okay, I'mgonna be on a plane. Wait,
no, I won't because I'm likei'd be like seven hours ahead, so
I have to think of that.So like by the time I'm landing,
(11:15):
they'll be doing this. I landin like early to mid afternoon. But
then I'm getting on a bus fromMadrid and I'm going to Barcelona, and
you know what, I am noteven gonna look. I don't even I
haven't even figured out if how Ican or may or may not be able
to use my phone, right,you got to like buy a card to
be able to do that. AndI'm spending part of my vacation in Andorra,
(11:35):
you know Andorra, the little micronationbetween Spain and France, and you
can't that doesn't even work there,So I literally have to turn my data
off and I won't be able touse it at all while I'm in there.
Otherwise I'm gonna get charged like fiftybucks for every meg I use or
something. It's a bad deal.That's what I'm trying to tell you.
They want people off their phones inANDORRA is basically my point. If you're
(11:56):
a tour to stay off your phone, why don't we do that? You
want to know how to really getpeople off their phone. Make cell phone
data like insanely expensive, and thennobody will be able to afford it,
That's what I say. But thenagain, everybody be like, actually,
that's an infringement on our freedom andyou shouldn't be able to do that.
Oh okay, so go back tolandlines. I was just thinking, you
know, well you don't need datato make calls and texts, you know,
(12:20):
it's just like you need data tobe able to you know, Look
up, did Donald Trump get sentencedto life in prison? Which is not
on the table, by the way, I just made that up anyway.
Yeah, so Donald Trump, ifyou're wondering, wow, July eight is
eleven. That's a big day.He gets sentenced in the Hushmuenny trial.
That's no longer the case. Itis officially delayed until September eighteenth, And
they don't even know if we're goingto make that based on how all this
(12:41):
other stuff is going on so Idon't know. I'm guessing we just need
time to figure out what official actsare. That's my guess. All right,
So to twenty eight. You knowwhat I want to talk about it
I don't want to talk about politics. Talked about politics a lot yesterday.
You know what I'm going to talkabout. If you're you have friends I
have kids and they have a playdate, or if your kid who's like
(13:03):
four years old goes to daycare,has a friend and wants to have a
play date, and you like correlatethat with other set of parents, what
responsibility do you potentially have if youaren't hosting that, and should you be
considered like to pay for some ofthe activities. I'll explain and we'll discuss
(13:24):
coming up here on news radio eleventen kfab. You know what a dog
play date is. It's when youand your friends that also have dogs come
up with an excuse for you tohang out. And I don't know about
you, but you know, I'mjust really wanting to hang out with the
people. My dogs like seeing otherdogs. It just kind of depends on
how big they are whether or notit's a hazard for my larger dogs,
(13:48):
especially PJ, who can get quiteanimated. But you know, for the
most part, you have all thisstuff that you could do with the humans,
you know, play some games orhave some drinks or watch something,
and you call it a dogy playdate. Right. I don't know if
that's how it works for children,and I'm not going to pretend to know.
Yeah, I saw this on socialmedia. Apparently this is something that
we are I don't know who's doingthis or what the I like. I'm
(14:15):
just gonna play it all right,and hopefully it plays properly and hopefully,
you know, I don't think there'sa curse word or anything in there,
but it's a sixty second TikTok orwhatever of a woman explaining her philosophy on
playdates. And then we're going torevisit this and talk through what the viability
of this kind of thing is.So let's go ahead and fire away.
(14:35):
Can we normalize sending the other familymoney for playdates? So recently my daughter
had a friend of her and Iasked her mom for money, and this
is how went. So after theplay dated text her moment, I said,
thanks for letting Jamie play today,Please help out with your share of
the expenses. For the playdate,totaling fifteen dollars VIAVMO. Let's do it
again sometime, because I can't keepdoing these playdates if it's so expensive.
(14:58):
And she said expenses, and Isaid, yeah, she used supplies and
food while she was here, andthis way we can do this more often
without a monetary obligation on just oneparty. Right makes sense. No,
she didn't say much, but shedid say what supplies, and of course
I wrote them down. There waschalk, apple, sauce, fruit,
She sat on the couch. That'swear and tear. She Ashley broke a
(15:20):
toy, She had three juice boxes, she went to the bathroom, she
had yogurt. Then she actually sentthe money and I sent her a message
thanking her for it. Of courseshe didn't say anything else, but I
said, you know, this willmake it easier for us to do more
play dates in the future. Sowhat do you guys think? So what
do we think? I mean,I don't have a kid, so like
(15:41):
I'm going to just tell you anon kid opinion is that, Okay,
can I have clearance? Matt?Can you speak for the rest of the
world. Do I have clearance asa non kid person? To speak on
kid issues here, Yeah, youcan. I feel like, I feel
like non kid people can have anopinion on this one. I'm guessing that
that's going to be true across theboard for this one, because there's a
(16:02):
lot of specific things about this thatit could apply to other situations. Yeah,
please please, okay, okay.My first one, My first opinion
is, how are you not askingfor the money beforehand? If that's your
like, if your brain is inthat space, that should be a conversation
you have before the play date.I feel like, right, I don't.
(16:23):
I'll get into this to the playdate part of it, But is
that not like kind of the ethicsof just blindsiding somebody after the fact with
asking them for money seems to bethe biggest sin of this entire thing.
I mean, we can talk aboutthe whole thing as a sin in general,
and that's kind of how I feel. But I'm not going to fault
(16:47):
somebody for kind of being in theheadspace of Look, if I want to
have the ability to host these things, and I have no problem doing that
work, I would just like acouple of bones being thrown my way.
That sounds crazy to me, butI can understand how that head space works
because I felt the same way aboutother non related things, like I drove
all the way over here to helpyou with work, yet I'm getting paid
(17:10):
what And you got paid like actualmoney. I got paid nothing or something
like that. Right, my brainthinks, it's just like that doesn't equate
to fairness, and I know thatI'm gonna get a bunch of emails saying
the life's not fair. I'm justsaying, if your head is in that
space, that should be something youprobably should talk about before you invite the
kid over. Am I onto somethingthere? Yeah? That was the first
thing that I thought as well.When she got to that point in the
(17:33):
audio, I just thought to myself, you didn't mention this beforehand. Yeah,
so you're instantly like, you're instantlyon the wrong side of this issue
based on your approach. It doesn'teven matter if you had a good point
to this. I don't think shedid, But even if she did,
your approach was so wrong that youspoiled whatever attempt you made at having a
good idea in a good relationship.Right, Yeah, what's the chances of
(17:56):
the girl getting to have a playdate over there? Now you know you
know what I would do. Youknow what the spiteful me would do in
this situation is I wouldn't want tospoil a friendship between the two girls,
So I'm going to invite them tomy house and not ask for money.
Yes, I don't think that's spiteful. I think that is what do they
say, like, show your actionsand that's that's showing in your actions,
(18:19):
not your words kind of thing.And does she voluntarily pay me back?
Does she voluntarily say, okay,now here's fifteen dollars for what my daughter
did at your house. I doubtit, But even then you would be
like, no, I don't wantyour money. That's not how this is
supposed to work. You know.What it's supposed to work is that you
do a play date, and thenwe do a play date if we want
(18:41):
to, you know, if wecare about that sort of thing, if
we care about sharing that responsibility.I think it's important for the socialization of
our kids. Let's do that,not not to just be like, hey,
you need to pay me money ifI'm hosting our daughters all the time.
But that doesn't sound like this iswhat happened. This is like a
the first time that they hung out, and she basically and what about the
(19:07):
price. Can we talk about thepricing here? Where's she getting this units
of measurement chalk? One dollar?How much chalk did she use? And
how expensive is the chalk that she'susing? Like I would need like spiteful
memory is going to be like,show me how much chalk she used?
How are you one dollar to useyour chalk? And you know what,
(19:30):
if we're talking about spiteful, Imight just go over myself, knock on
the door and say can I giveyou five dollars just to go sit on
your couch? Well that was onedollar set on couch wear and tear one
dollar. One dollar because a kitsat on the couch. Now come on
that. As soon as she saidthat, I was like, there's got
this has got to be an engagementtroll. There's no way this is real,
(19:52):
you know what? But I can'tput it past people because people think
like this right, They're just like, hey, you're you're you're basically pawning
your kid off on me for likefree, like what essentially is free childcare
for a few hours while we callit a playdate. You're not over your
hanging out with me? It's justyour kid. I would think to myself,
you know what, like, yeah, my good daughter's getting something out
(20:14):
of it. But unless we're reciprocating, my brain would kind of go into
a spot where it's just like,hey, you know, could you send
her with some lunch or something orwhatever. That my brain would go there,
not that I would necessarily like askfor money. My brain would just
be thinking just like, Okay,well I hope that you know, I
can send my daughter over there too. But as soon as she said sat
on the couch, wear and there, I mean, come on, what
are we talking about here? Larry'son our phone line at four h two
(20:36):
five five eight eleven ten. Larry, you got some thoughts on this?
Yeah, I totally agree with whatyou've been saying. This is something that
parents should offer to each other.And if she wants to charge for use
of things, it should be clearedbefore at the beginning, you know.
And we're going to be using Chuck, and we're going to this, and
we're going to use that, andI'd like five dollars they'll cover my expenses.
(21:02):
But he used the bathroom and justsit on the couch. Yeah,
those are he's opening the door tobe smashed right back. But I'm sure
the other lady could give her abill for twenty dollars for her little girl
to come play there. Yeah.Yeah, the whole thing is wrong business.
Neighbors are supposed to be neighbors,and I think she was way out
of place in the whole everything.Now, I'm with you, Larry Hair.
(21:23):
I appreciate you calling in, man, Thanks for listening to us.
If there's a if you got thoughtson this, and I got some more
thoughts, well we'll break down afew more points of this, but I'd
love to hear from you on this. You can call in at four two
five five eight eleven ten charging tohost toddler playdates? How do you feel
about it? News Radio eleven ten. Kfab, a woman on social media,
(21:48):
posted that she wants to normalize parentspaying other parents that are hosting playdates
of their kids. In fact,she outlined an entire bill that included several
items, one of which was goingto the bathroom three trips three dollars.
No way, that's a that's that'sa dollar per trip to the bathroom.
(22:11):
No way on here, No way, Sarah's on our phone line four two
five eight to eleven ten. Sarah, welcome to the show. What do
you think about this? Well,as a mother, I'm actually appalled by
this woman. All she is doingis setting up for her child to not
have any threat going forward. Yeah, and you know, I don't know
(22:33):
about most other parents, but whenI buy chalk or certain toys and games
for my son, I don't doit for beside this PlayStation. I don't
do it for him to entertain himself. It's for him to socialize and play
with others. Right, Well,you want to know something else, Sarah,
about this? I think you nailedit on the head. Her daughter's
(22:56):
going to end up losing more outof this than anybody else's over a solitary
fifteen dollars or whatever. I'm sure. I'm sure the daughter would have said,
you know, in the future,that fifteen dollars wasn't worth losing friends
over. You know what I mean? Oh? Absolutely so. I don't
know. Social skills are very importantwith children, and she's she's just basically
(23:19):
hurting her own child. Sarah,I appreciate you calling in. Thanks so
much for listening to our show today. Thank you, great day. Yep,
you two. Here's the other here'syou want another one, here's another
part. Okay, the wear andtear. One dollar to sit on the
couch, one dollar for chalk,three jukes boxes are two dollars. Three
(23:42):
chips to the bathroom worth three dollars. Like where she's getting Where is she
getting these units of currency. It'sjust like when you play roller coaster Tycoon,
you start charging for the bathroom,people stop showing up to your park.
I'm telling you she's not gonna haveany more friends. She sent the
(24:02):
money, she sent the money,so so, and she shows a receipt
of the money. And again,I'm how do you respond to this?
And again, I'm going to trymy best to be as understanding as possible,
because I know where some people's brainsare at. Although a couple of
people in the email say this isa joke and I're falling for it,
I'm I don't think this is entirelya joke for some people. There's some
(24:26):
really good jokesters out there. It'salways possible, but sure, sure,
but let's just pretend like this isone hundred percent accurate and one hundred percent
I think the most troubling part aboutthis is the fact that how would you
have handled on the other end,because I wouldn't have paid the money.
I'll be honest with you. Ilike and again, I don't know what
these people's relationship is with each other. I don't know if they're just acquaintances
(24:49):
that their daughters like each other andone of them decided to send and does
that? Is that something people do? It's like, oh, my four
year old went todaycare found friend andwants to go spend the night with her
friend or spend some time with herfriend. I don't know those people at
all, am I okay? Justsending her to their house? I don't
know where they live. Is thatsomething people do out there? Yeah?
(25:11):
My instinct, My instinct would be, hey, instead of paying you fifteen,
how about play time? Is thatmy place? That's what I was
sure, or I would have atleast challenged some of those units, at
the very least a dollar for couchwearing tear. She's like, you have
her on dog status. She can'tget on the sofa. I don't know
(25:32):
if you got thoughts on this.You can call this four oh two,
five five eight to eleven ten fouroh two, five, five eight eleven
ten, plenty more coming up inan interview with a brand new Omaha supernova
coming up in the next hour aswell on Wait News A ready eleven ten?
Kaybe that's the one. Why isit raining so much? Yeah,
we had a couple of weeks therewhere we were cool, but it's just
(25:52):
so much. We don't need thismuch. It's so much rain. Why
do we need so much? Whatdo we do here? I do kind
of like it for the foliage.Oh stop. Hey, I was walking
around Lake Cunningham and standing Bear Lakethis last weekend and just really enjoying the
canopy. I went to Glenwood ArchaeologicalReserve on the Iowa side. Yeah it's
(26:18):
okay, you know, it's prettygood. But yeah, a lot of
birds, a lot of a lotof greenery. It was just nice and
you know, not have rain onme for the weekend, which is great.
A little outside time. Yeah,I played a thing last hour.
We were talking about having to payfor play dates, right h Tracy emailed
(26:41):
in and said this might be ajoke. And again we're not ruling out
that it could be a joke,you know, And I mean I still
think it's we're talking about because peopleare talking about it as if it's real.
It could be. I don't thinkthat this is out of the realm
of possibility of what someone would postonline. Well, yeah, just for
the content. But also it's notcrazy to me to think that somebody of
(27:02):
our generation would be thinking about this, especially if they were brought up frugal.
Right, I was brought up frugal. But it's just socially completely awkward
to have that conversation, especially ifyou didn't talk about it beforehand. Well,
there's a lot of background too.Imagine a scenario where you are the
go to house for all play datesand it's kind of just been that way
(27:23):
and that would get old. Yeah, and maybe you're just kind of you're
feeling it in your pocketbook and you'rekind of like, you know, how
do I, as she put sheused the word normalize this? How do
I normalize this behavior? I don'tthink it's going to happen writ large,
but maybe in your special circumstances oryou just have to be brave enough to
have those conversations beforehand. You can'tjust be like after the fact, Hey,
(27:48):
thanks for hanging out with my kidor having your kid hang out with
my kid. Can I have fifteendollars like that. That was the wrong
way to do this. Well,anyway, said the paying mom should never
have paid. She needs to completelycut ties. It's too risky to let
that child into her home to play. If the girl falls while there and
the charging mom takes the child toa doctor, will she send the paying
(28:11):
mom the bill and then try tosue her if she doesn't pay m Now,
I mean it's a liability risk.Now do you have to sign waivers
to protect yourself for these kind ofinteractions? What have we done to the
youth of America? Well, Idon't know. Could you make some comparisons?
(28:33):
I'm talking crazy here, so backme down if nope, nope,
Crazy's good. Crazy's good. Couldyou make some comparisons to the news yesterday?
We're having conversations about things that maybeare a sign of more turbulence in
our society because we didn't have tohave this conversation before. Right, Maybe
(28:56):
I'm being a little bit hyperbolic,But what I mean though, it's kind
of like, did we need todefine those terms in a less turbulent society?
Where the example, I believe itwas it the example that you gave
that uh, the Supreme Court rulingyesterday. Yeah, theoretically, if there
were enough people in the UH inthe Senate and that and and the House,
(29:19):
they could have charged President Obama atthe time for murder of Osama bin
Lauden theoretically, theoretically, theoretically withthese with these things implied. Right,
So we're talking about things right nowthat are kind of like, you know
what, these were sort of knownthings that we didn't challenge, and now
(29:40):
we're we are and we're challenging aturbulent Wow, what a great word.
It is that there really is whatthe society is. Everybody is just a
little bit more angsty than they probablyever were before. And I'm not trying
to be the guy that wants tomake everybody like, well, we're angsty
for this reason. I don't care. That's not my point. My point
(30:00):
is we are angstier than I thinkwe ever have publicly, not that I
think people have been angsty before.Society has been definitely more angsty than now.
I mean, you can go backto colonial times that was a lot
of angst. You want to talkabout the angst before the Civil War,
there's another real angsty time in Americanhistory. Hey, if you go back
to the sixties. You want totalk about angst about everything that was going
(30:23):
on, Jim crow Law, civilrights movement, Vietnam was going on,
you had guys assassinating presidents. Imean, that was a crazy time in
the hippie movement, crazy time inAmerican history, right, that was a
turbulent society. Now Molotov cocktail gettingthrown in their social media okay, and
(30:45):
Donald Trump being kind of the firstsocial media president has resulted in so many
things about the presidency and our governmentthat many people didn't know that need to
be further clarified. Maybe this issomething that needs to be further clarified.
Also back in the day, I'msure our parents I don't know about my
parents or your parents specifically, butour parents' generation, more often than not,
(31:06):
I think, would have been alittle bit more meh about sending us
to somebody's house, like, oh, yeah, that's fine, just be
back home by whatever, or I'llcome pick you up. At this time.
Yeah, I did bowling league.That was one of the things that
I did. I liked to bowl, so I went to the bowling alley
and my parents didn't just drop meoff there like many parents did. My
(31:30):
parents were there every week, likelike when I was, you know,
ten, twelve, fourteen years old. Even my parents wanted us sit there
and watch me bowl, and theyuse that as social time to talk to
some of the other parents and allthat stuff. They knew every single person
I was in contact with, Soit's a little different than probably finding somebody
who you like at four years oldat a daycare and you know, like
(31:51):
wanting to hang out with them.I didn't really have that experience, But
I just feel like as passing generationscome, people are a little bit more
leary. I guess of the risksthat potentially are involved with sending your kid
to a strange person's house. Doesthat make sense? No, am I
(32:12):
talking out of school? There werethey more careful than I think they were.
It just feels like people are waymore careful now about what's happening.
And this is just another instance ofthis. It's like, well, I'll
host this playdate even though I maynot really want to, and I'm watching
your kid for a few hours,and they're doing all these activities and everything,
(32:34):
and I'm doing all the work andI have to clean up after them
and everything. What's in this forme kind of thing, and that I
think is more the generation that we'rein and maybe the dier like more so
maybe people just a little younger thanus. Yeah, that grew up with
the social media era being itself andthey are always asking questions, so like
well, why is this the waythat it is? Yeah? Well,
(32:54):
and to follow the conversation with youknow, the difference between generations, I
think, you know, you talkabout gen X, A lot of people
use the term latch key kids justbe home when the street light turns out
turns on, is the thought.Well, nowadays actually if you especially if
you were you know, in aneighborhood with other children, and nowadays you
(33:15):
can set up your Alexa to havea camera in every room of the house.
Yeah. Now, you know,theoretically there are children nowadays. Just
a couple of decades ago, theywere coming home when the street light came
on, completely unsupervised. Yep.Nowadays there not only are they in the
same house, but there's a cameraon them the whole time in maybe some
(33:36):
circumstances. So it's just a completelydifferent scenario growing up. Yeah, and
the camera, I mean, howmany people think that that's a really good
idea or a really bad idea,right, Like, I'm pretty much all
the way out on that. Ijust you're not You're not a camera guy.
No. I think that because becausewith that extra technology, I mean,
(33:57):
you can see what's coming out onyour front porch, you can see
every room in your house. Youcould hear anything that's happening in your house.
I mean, you could survey,like have surveillance on anything of your
property at any one time. Imean, think about air tags too.
It's just like the idea of anair tag is really cool. You know,
you put the air tags in thelike in a bag that you want
(34:20):
to make sure you have. Youwant to put an air tag where your
keys are or on your keys,something that you lose quite frequently, and
just have those air tags available.But so many people are using those to
monitor where other people are. Nowit's completely illegal, but they're doing it.
They're putting them on cars. Yeah, you know, so like there
are pluses and minuses for stuff likethat, And I don't know, I
(34:43):
think we're getting to a point whereit makes sense to ask certain questions about
the way that we've always done thingsor the way that we're doing things now.
But I also think that maybe werealize that the more of this technology
and the more of this stuff that'sgoing on, the more problems that we're
kind of creating ourselves in for oursociety, just you know, kind of
(35:04):
trying to find a balance between allof these things. One of the technology
always takes away some level of freedom. I think in a lot it can
at least, you know, soI think that that is always That is
a common agreement that we've made fora long time, like embrace new technology
and maybe lose some of your freedomalong with it. That's a conversation that's
been going on for a long time, but it has hit a boiling point
(35:29):
recently with what we're willing to giveup. Well, we'll keep talking about
certain things and let you know what'sgoing on with this. We'll talk Supernova's
with a brand new member of thesquad here momentarily, so stick around for
that as well as we fire awaysome more fun on news radio eleven ten
kfab Did you hear that the WhiteHouse is really pushing that Joe Biden did
(35:51):
the debate last Thursday with a coldand he wasn't on any cold medicine,
And that has something to do withwhy he appeared to be old and you're
buying you're buying that from from KJP. That can be you know, there
were moments when it did kind ofsound like he was, you know,
horse or maybe had a little bitstuffed up, so I could see that.
(36:15):
But a couple of things there.Why in the world was he not
on cough cold medicine? Well,I guess you know what this is.
Though, they must have been worriedthat he was going to get tested,
or or he had stuff already inassistance. They weren't worried about the test.
They were worried about how cold medicinewould you know, react to the
(36:36):
Molotov cocktail of you know, vitamins, minerals and gasoline that they shoved up
his veins right before he went onstage. I don't know, like what
I've been thinking could be dead wrong, but I think he was on absolutely
nothing. They thought, you knowwhat, either we're going to err on
the side of of just doing thatand him having a good performance and it's
(37:00):
it's gonna be fine, and howmany they wait. Maybe their plan was
for him to actually do good enoughand then test him afterwards and be like
Oh, by the way, eventhough we didn't need to here's his labs.
He was on absolutely nothing. Imean, that's that's a ploy.
I mean, because then you canyou can never have to talk about that
ever again. Exactly. It shutsit down completely. But it went the
(37:21):
other way. He looked worse thanever, because then the next day he
was all worked up in front ofthe crowd. He had his teleprompter back,
but also his energy too, sohe was back on the cocktail to
talk that. Yeah, but theteleprompter. Yeah, I mean, when
you don't have to think, right, isn't that isn't that kind of the
thing. I mean, I'm sittinghere, I'm watching two screens at the
(37:43):
same time, monitoring my time andtrying to talk at the same time.
Most of the time I said timelike four times there, five, six,
six times. How many times doyou think you can say time?
Seven? I'm not saying it anymore. So that was seven instances when he
said that word, but the restof the show without even saying I'm gonna
try really hard not to say thatword. Okay, but anyway, but
(38:06):
that's the thing. You got tothink. You gotta be sharp in this
job. I mean, doing thisjob into an advanced stage isn't easy,
and it's just talking for a living. I don't have to make any decisions.
I have to decide what we're talkingabout, but I don't have to
like sign things into law. Idon't have to go out campaigning for anything.
I guess I'm technically campaigning for listeners, but I'm just hopefully going to
(38:30):
get those by doing what I'm doing. And I don't have to go like
rallying around town every single day.I don't have to read off of a
teleprompt. I have notes. I'llread off bullet points, but I want
it to sound natural. What's hisface? Has been doing this for a
long long time, a long stinkingtime, And you know what, He's
(38:52):
practiced enough that even in his cognitivestate, he is still fairly capable compared
to a lot of America on thinkingon the fly, I think he is
as far as presidential or congressional standards, he is an F. He's an
F minus the communication skills are completelygone. And like I said, he
(39:13):
got himself into multiple traps, likeword traps where he was saying the same
thing over and over again every singleanswer. He was numbering them off,
number one, number two. Hekept saying, folks, one hundred times.
He kept saying as a matter offact, he kept saying things like
there were other ones. I don'thave them all in front of me,
but I just I was writing themdown. This guy can't stop saying this
(39:37):
stuff. So I guess my bottomline here is there's no way you can
tell me based on the things thatwere happening. Maybe he did have a
cult. I don't think it hadanything to do with the performance that he
had on front of the international televisionseventy eighty million people watching this thing.
Just no chance anyway. Speaking ofno chance, nobody had a chance to
(39:59):
beat the Omaha Souper Nova is inthe Pro Volleyball Federation Championship in their playoffs
this year, and they just wentthrough free agency and have a bunch more
new players with a lot of Nebraskapedigree. We'll talk to one of them
coming up next right here on newsRadio eleven ten KFAB and Marie Sunger on
news Radio eleven ten Kfab
