Speaker 1 (00:00):
Shamrock shakes. Yeah, that's a McDonald's thing.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Cabbage and shamrock shakes, and green beer and pints pint glasses.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
And bie pints of green beer. Did you is that
green that you're wearing right now? What would you call it?
Blue green? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It's blue green. Yeah, this is the best I could do. Yeah,
I can't tell you. I don't really have much green either.
I don't think I look very good in green. So yeah,
I haven't really invested into having a green shirt just
for the occasion. So gladly you and I have already
agreed to a truce where we're not going to pinch
each other throughout the show just for not doing that.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
So well, I don't know, I feel like I'm off
the hook. This is green enough, blue green? Yeah, maybe
maybe not a pinch maybe, Like I don't know, what's
like a lower form of that.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
A lower form of a pinch. Yeah, I don't know.
A slap that's worse. Don't go up, you go down.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
What's worse than a like what's not as bad as
a pinch? I don't know, Like.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
A throat chop that's worse. I don't know, you keep
going worse. I feel like I feel like I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I can't think of anything that's physical contact but less
than a pinch. I feel like pinch was like already
pretty pretty much a low bar. I mean, if somebody
presented this to them, you think when they'll never say
that's green.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
No, nobody, nobody will it's blue green.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
It's it's definitely blue green. It's like when you get
the crayolas, they get blue green. That's the color, right,
the best I could do? Yeah, well, you try it
harder than I did.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I do have a green shirt, but it doesn't fit.
I have an Omaha basketball sutnerneath. They don't have green
in there anyways, and that's their fault, honestly, Oh, come on,
fault together, puts green in there.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Don't need the green. It's fine, it's fine. We don't
need it for just the one day. Hey, I just
want to talk about this before we talk too much
about Saint Patrick's Day. Did you see that racket come out?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I heard about it. I googled where Omaha and Creyton
ended up. But that's about all I've seen so far.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
So so they this whole thing is a mess. All
of postseason is a mess, there's a there's there's one
thing specifically that I always love, like giving you a
rundown of something and then having you question the morality.
Like that time last week where I had you talk
about this cat that attacked a kid. I think I
(02:14):
actually got to the point where I think the second
cat that does the biting is fifty percent to blame,
and like four other beings are shared the other fifty
percent of the blame. Yeah, yeah, it's of the blame,
you know how where I stand on the end, No, No,
it's like twenty percent is could you say that twenty
percent is the other cat for laying in the only
walkway available. Uh, And then the other thirty percent is
(02:38):
between the child for stepping on the cat and not
showing remorse that the parent who's sitting there, who obviously
did not like have a hold of like the fact
that this kid doesn't pay attention where it's going, and
also having like a cat that is willing to like
attack its child just like roaming in the house. There
had to be something else that would have given them
a clue that this may be something that could happen.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
That's all I'm saying. There's plenty of blame to go around.
Cats are the lowest pecking order in that family situation. Oh,
I don't disagree with that either. I'm just saying that,
you know, they're like at some point actual humans that
can make determinations that was what is or isn't living
in their house.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
You know, like like you get to choose that. Nobody
made them have those cats, especially in that small of
a space, like two cats and a dog and that
small of a space. I mean, give me a break.
Anyway back here, here's today's here's today's conundrum.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Are you ready? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
The U See Riverside basketball team was asked to be
in the National Invitational Tournament the n IT.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
They didn't make the big tournament. We'll talk Big tournament later.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
The U See Riverside team was invited to the NIT
and took one of the last spots. The University of
Southern Southern Alabama South Alabama, sorry USA, South Alabama was
also invited to the n and the NIT. President of
the NIT Board of Managers said that after U See
Riverside accepted the NIT bid, the NIT rescinded its invitation
(04:05):
to South Alabama. You See, Riverside also accepted an invitation
to the College Basketball Invitational, So they are going to
be playing. They're like the first team that I can
think of in decades who are going to be playing
in two different postseason tournaments. This is what the nit's
Board of Managers, Dan Gavitt said after the NIT bracket
(04:25):
was released Sunday evening, it was brought to the nit's
attention one of the team's scheduled to participate in the
tournament also committed to a non NCAA affiliated postseason event.
In an effort to secure another participating team, the NIT
prematurely extended an invitation to the South Alabama Jaguars prior
to learning the original team chose to accept its invitation
to the NIT. Regrettably, the Nit rescented its invitation to
(04:49):
South Alabama. We understand the emotional impact of this confusion,
and we sincerely apologized to South Alabama head coach Richie
Riley and to all the student athletes for the air.
So essentially, they thought U See Riverside was going to
accept the bid to the CBI, not the NIT. They
invited another team to take their spot in the NIT,
until the original team, You See Riverside said no, We'll
(05:12):
do both, and then the NIT said, instead of saying no,
screw you, you can go play in the CBI, they
rescinded the invitation of the second team they invited and
brought back UC Riverside, who now will play in two
postseason tournaments while South Alabama will play in zero postseason tournaments.
Who's the bad guy here? It seems like the NCAA
kind of blew it. You know, how do you invite
(05:32):
the second team without knowing whether or not you see
Riverside is playing in the game. You didn't even ask them,
You just heard that they were in the CBI, and
you're like, oh, well, screw them. Until they came back
and you're like, oh, I guess they accepted our invitation.
Don't you just tell them to get lost? Unless South
Alabama have their spot, they're already in another tournament.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Like what are we doing here? It's pretty silly. Or
we could just like not have as many.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Tournaments, you know what, we could also just not have
as many tournaments? Like who cares about this stuff?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I mean the College Basketball Crown, Like, give me a break.
Did you see the teams in that Nebraska's in that?
It's hilarious that it's called that the college basketball Crown,
and they're literally competing to be the best of the worst,
top of the slop. That's what it should be called.
Colorado went three and seventeen in Big Twelve play this year.
They're in the college basketball in seventeen. That's hilarious. They're
(06:19):
in the college basketball crowd. It's like the it's it's
the equivalent of the toilet bowl, you know, like the
two like you know.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
But Fox created it because they needed some basketball tournament ratings.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
You know, they don't have anything.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
So they were just like, oh, let's get the let's
get let's do the college basketball Crown. That'll be fun.
Is it gonna be sponsored by Burger King? No, No,
it's not gonna be sponsored by Burger King. But I'm
sure sponsored by a lot of people, and no one
will watch and nobody cares.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, and you know what they're gonna have to do.
They're gonna have to have shenanigans. They're gonna have to
have gimmicks, oh for sure. So it's gonna have to
get a little wild. Maybe maybe they should have the
players dress like in like King King garb, you know,
like wearing like oh so I don't even like basketball,
you know. Yeah, I just thought there was costumes and stuff,
you know.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Okay, Like the NIT has historically been like rules, Like
the last decade or so, they have experimented with the rules,
like the thirty second shot clock, the restricted area, backing
up the three point line. They experiment with that in
the NIT before they bring it to the table the
next year and if it works out. Hey, but West Virginia,
did you see this? West Virginia's governor is really mad
(07:22):
at the NC DOUBLEA. He's gone on and had an
address and sent stuff out to reprimand the NC Double A.
He says it's robbery of the highest level and they
might lose their coach to Iowa. Darren Devrees is from Drake.
He's in his first year, as was Virginia coach. The
corruption at the NC DOUBLEA level. They said they left
him out and put North Carolina in because Tucker Devrees,
one of their star players, is hurt right now. Tucker
(07:45):
Devreze hasn't played since December the sixth. They played the
entire Big twelve schedule and had six squad wins without him.
Yet North Carolina with one quad one win in the tournament.
Guess who the chairman of the selection committee.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Is probably some guy from North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Bubba Cunningham, the athletic director at the University of North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
There we go, can you believe this stuff?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
We pay and we watch, we be paid for tickets,
We pay in il money, We support our team and
these are the things that are going on. You want
to talk about shenanigans, These are real life shenanigans happening
right in front.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Of our face. Yeah, and the sad but reality is
the tournament is better with North Carolina in it, you know,
like it's it's kind of like that is what it is.
You know, Yeah, I get it. It's stupid. You get
to that level and you kind of get you get
breaks like they get you know, I know, but that's
so dumb.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
And then and now they're gonna tell us, well, if
you want these little schools like Boise State to have
a chance to play in the big tournament, we have
to expand to seventy six teams.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
It's the only way. Who is asking for that? Who
who's asking for a right?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Really dumb, really really dumb anyway to seventeen we'll talk irish,
we'll talk Irish heritage. We're going to talk Saint Patrick's
Day on a Monday of all days of the week.
We'll do that next on news Radio eleven ten. Take
kfab each other. I don't have you ever done one
of those where it's just like, here's your closest descendant
(09:06):
in this ethnicity, Like, have you done any of that?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
G twenty.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I mean it's not that, it's like they apparently there's
like websites or apps that you can go to. I
haven't messed around with it. I just had somebody like
go out of their way to they just message him.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
To me, you know long like you have to go
back far. I am very not.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I'm very very not Irish, I think is my understanding
of this. On my dad's side, and big things to
Deborah for sending this to me. On my dad's side,
my nearest relative, my first Irish ancestor, is Gavin Moore,
my eighth great grandfather, who's born in Belfast, Northern Ireland
(09:52):
in sixteen ninety's.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
That's the guy.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
And then on my mom's side it was Thomas Paxton,
who's my seventh great grand father, also born in sixteen
ninety so my earliest Irish ancestor goes back to sixteen
ninety on both sides.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
It's pretty crazy.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I bet we just we all have probably just a
cavalcad of European countries and a lot of us.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Maybe others do, who knows. Yeah, I'm basically just a
Western European mutt like I just you know, some great Britain,
some Scotch, some Irish, definitely, some Welsh, and a little
bit a little bit of a German, I think, just
a little bet.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I think I got more of that than anything else.
We should probably just do one of those things to
figure it out.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I do remember when I did it, they said that
it was possible that I was related to Genghis Khan.
Oh that's not the same thing at all. I think
we were all kind of related to him. Though. He
got around man made his way across Europe and a
couple of different forms and fashions. Ah, he didn't do
a whole lot of fighting, you know what I mean.
That's gross, kind of stayed. He kind of spent his
(10:55):
time in the tent. Oh no scheming. He was work
working on his next battle. Oh that's what he was doing,
you know. The Pope wrote a letter to Gangis gond
At to plead him, please can you just stop, please
stop doing what you're doing, Please stop ransacking Europe if
you could find in your heart to stop. Is that
something that you think he listened to and Ganghis Khan
(11:16):
literally sent him back the lyrics to Miley Cyrus's song
Can't Stop? Is that? Is that right? Yeah? And we
can't stop and we won't stop. I didn't know he
was such a big fan of Miley. No, most people
don't know that. Emory. It's really interesting. I'm the guide
to know. I mean, it's interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I don't know how Irish he is, though I don't
probably not Irish at all, would be my guest. Genghis Khan,
I would say, I don't know what joke you're you're
going to try to tell that.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I'm working one over in my head and I was like,
I don't think there's really a way to say that.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
So, uh, here we go, complete left turn. Betsy Arakawa
Are you familiar with her? That is the wife of
Gene Hackman who died right pantoviron.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Ah does that? Wait? She died a hantavirus.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, he died of you know, dementia. Alzheimer's heart disease. Right,
and the dog, as far as we know that died
died because it was locked in a kennel and not
cared for for over a week.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Man, terrible stuff. What if I told you? The mystery deepens. Oh.
Doctor Josiah Child, who was the leader of Cloudberry Health
in New Mexico, says Betsy Araca Arakawa called him on
February twelfth, one day later than the medical examiners concluded
date of her death on February the eleventh. Wait say
(12:34):
that again, So the medical examiner said she probably died
on February eleventh, Right, that seemed to be the date
that we have any trace of her. We don't see
her leave the house after that. We don't see her
like out and about her. You know, body kind of
looked like somebody who had been dead for that long
by the time we found there. But doctor Josiah Child
that Cloudberry Health in New Mexico says she called him
(12:56):
on February the twelfth, He says, attacked me and didn't
die on February eleventh, because she called my clinic February twelfth.
She called me a couple of weeks before her death
to ask about getting an echo cardiogram for her husband,
which of course is a heart scan. She wasn't a
patient of mind, but one of my patients recommended Cloudberry
to her. She called back the morning of February twelfth
(13:19):
and spoke to one of our doctors, who told her
to come in that afternoon.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
We made an appointment. She never showed. She did not
show symptoms of respiratory distress. The appointment wasn't related to
anything for hantavirus. We tried calling her a couple of
times with no reply. End quote, Well, she's definitely dead,
and she definitely died of the hantavirus, but she died
that fast from the hant of virus. He was just
like okay one moment, and the next moment she was
like she was dead, and then Jeans just like left
(13:44):
to wander for him, and nobody goes and checks on him.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
It's not supposed to happen that fast. That's so crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I need more information, not that I'm real interested in
looking up anything else that's going on with the hantavirus.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
To be honest with you, that sounds like some nasty business. Yeah,
it kind of makes my throat sword just thinking about it.
I don't want to. I don't, I don't, I don't,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I know enough to know that I know too much anyway,
All right, here we go, So let's open the phone lines.
How irish are you? Do you celebrate Saint Patrick's Day?
Are you mad? If you're irish? Are you mad at
people celebrating Saint Patrick's Day? For that's also a thing.
How much Saint Patrick's Day do you think is American made?
And how much Saint Patrick's Day is is truly Irish?
And is this something that you know maybe we should
(14:26):
take more seriously. Is all these holidays like sinco to
my own Saint Patrick's Day that I guess American eyes
or appropriate something from someone else's background might sound crazy,
but there are people out there that think that way.
If you want to talk to me about this stuff,
we're gonna have fun today.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
It's a nice day outside.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
You can be a part of the action calling us
at four oh two five five eight eleven ten four
oh two five five eight eleven ten. You can also
email Emory at kfab dot com Emory at kfab dot
com and we would love to chat with you on
this fine Monday, and while you're at it, just need
to enjoy yourself. Why don't you Why don't you have
(15:04):
a point of Guinness?
Speaker 1 (15:05):
And I can't do Ira? Can you do Irish?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah, a little bit there. I don't know is this Irish?
I don't know what is it? They took me lucky charms.
See that's definitely your lucky charms. They took him, and
now I'm without me lucky charms and I'm lucky charmless.
Would you like a would you like a point of guinness?
I'd like some pote toes, But there's a famine in
my family's starving.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
There has a been a famine in Ireland for decades anyway.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Colmra McGregor, Irish Irish Champion, he's my favorite boxing nationalist.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
All right, Well, if that didn't get if my initial
plea to the Irish you don't really like Saint Patrick's
day didn't get them motivated to talk to me, maybe
that well anyway call us four or two, five, five, eight,
eleven ten and we'll do more on the way on
news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
EMRI's sung on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I'll send you the tweet. I'll let you, like come
through the audio during a break. You never know how
many works he's a coach, but in there I mean,
but yeah, I'm just saying like he's he talks colorfully,
you know, but I love the way he talks. I mean,
has there been a more fun coach to listen to speak? Thing?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Maybe John Madden if you want to call him that,
but we know him not as a coach like Gruden
was legendary for the stuff that he was saying as
a coach. Like some of my favorite lines I use
for everything I've heard from him, like when he's miked
up on the sideline, one one of my favorites. Like,
we're we're not posing for football cards today, boys, we're
(16:42):
not positive for football cards.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Play with some speed.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Like when I'm watching hockey and it feels like the
team's a little lethargic, you're off to a little bit
in a slow start. It's like, we need to stop
posing for hockey cards boys, to skate with some speed.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
That.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
But yeah, well we'll come through that.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
If it's good audio, we'll play it because I think
it's important. By the way, we didn't we went a
half hour not mentioning this. They drew Rick Potato and
Saint John's in the first round. What do you think? Yeah,
you know, it's a pretty high profile guy to be
going up against in the first round.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
I think it's an interesting matchup. I mean it's it's
a tough one in Providence. In Providence got to play
the Johnnys. Creighton's got a tough one too. They're playing
Louisville in Lexington. Yeah, like that's tough. How does Louville
an eight seed? They can basically get a home game
in the second round against a lot of seed. That's
a tough draw. If you're an Auburn you got to
be like, what in the world. You gotta be kidding me.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Man, you put us in a region that's in Kentucky
and we put it you put a Kentucky school in there?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
What are we doing here? Ah?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Yeah, but it is what it is. We we we
do what we can do and we laugh it off.
By the way, by the way, uh Creighton on its
way to uh On, Like Creighton going to Lexington and
that is a Friday game. Let me just double check
(18:07):
that I've got my days all mixed up because I
was doing an Iowa show. Creighton's actually a Thursday game.
That is Thursday at eleven fifteen in the morning. That's
like the first game of the day. Like it don't
like it?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, I mean it's cool that they're first, you know that.
But at the same time, it's not really top bill,
you know. And that's a kind of a sleepy start
I could see. You know, how often have they had
to play it? Even in the Big East Tournament they
were playing late games. Yeah, it's a tough draw, it's
a tough team to play, and it's a tough place
to play them. But I feel like when that's happening
is good for them because you're getting them early. It's
(18:42):
right at the beginning. Sure, you know, I don't know.
We'll say it's a bus trip for them.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
It's like an hour and a half, right if you're Auburn,
the one seed who could play Louisville in the second round. Also,
if Creighton doesn't beat them in Lexington, what is the
NCAA doing there? You sing your overall number one seed
to basically play a road game in the second round.
Is this like, like what are we doing? Like that
is insane?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Whatever? Get lost in c DOUBLEA. I did get a
traffic tip there from a listener quick, oh, go ahead,
fire away. So listener Tim wanted to alert the public.
Public alerted that there is a turkey. What a turkey
out wandering around? A turkey like a bird. Yeah, it's
a turkey out wandering around, he said, eighty fourth and
F southbound.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
The turkey southbound, or he's in the southbound lanes. He's
in the southbound lane, so he's headed somewhere. Just hope
he gets to where he needs to go. I've seen
turkeys in my neighborhood, which is not a place I
would have guessed to see wild turkeys. Saw a few
of them, just kind of wandering around. Yeah, they can jump.
They were jumping a fence.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
When I was like turkeys in a tree. It's unsettling, dude.
I was walking around this park in Grand Island a
handful of years ago, and I looked up and all
these turkeys were sitting in this tree and it was
cold enough out so there was no leaves in the trees.
Like vultures. Yeah, I was just full of turkeys. It
was unsettling.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
What would they do though, I don't know, like a vulture,
I could see like it's waiting for something to die.
It's gonna scrap scrap some trash up and eat it.
What is the turk you going to do? Just I
think they were up there just trying to be intimidating.
I think they were just you know, don't know, or
maybe they were just up there because they wanted to
like not get run old by a car or something.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Oh this was in the middle of a park, but
I don't know. But yeah, So anyways, I saw a
peacock on a house once on a house on a house. Peacock. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
So somebody had like a pet peacock in my hometown.
And I was at my buddy's house and there's all
of a sudden, some commotion and the neighbor called us
and they were like, hey, my my peacock is on
your roof.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
And we came outside and there's this peacock on the roof.
There was this commotion. I love that sentence everything about that.
There was some commotion. You came bustling out of your
house and there's a peacock.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
It was a male, so it had like it was
a long tail, like the long tail with the feathers
and everything. Yeah, and I don't know why he tried
to fly away, but like because they could fly a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I mean they're not flightless birds.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
But yeah, he ended up on the roof anyway, Steve says,
how are you not talking about your Drake Bulldogs. My
Drake Bulldogs are from the Moine. But yeah, Drake. By
the way, they draw Missouri that is also on the
on Thursday, and that's in Wichita.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
That's not a bad drive. They played Missouri.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Missouri is like right across the right, across the border
from Wichita.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
But they did Drake. You know, Drake fans, that's not
a bad drive. You know.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I was kind of hoping that Omaha might get that
Wichita trip. Didn't happen. They gotta go play. Did you
see the other game in that quad?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Though?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
For Omaha they play Satan John's and that's a late game.
That's one of the late games on Thursday. So we
got Creighton and Omaha basically bookending the day. It's eight
forty five scheduled start time. It's the second game of
the night. The first game in that quad Kansas in Arkansas.
M that's Bill self in Kansas, who haven't been very
good this year. But they can still got a seven
seed the ten seeds Arkansas with their new head coach
(21:52):
mm h John Calipowi, John Calipari.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
And then you got Rick Patino for the Johnnies. How
about that.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
People are saying this is the greatest coaching quadrant ever
and it could be ruined by guys who beat the
crap out of trash cans.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Is that what they're saying? Oh, yeah, well you know
what they can do. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Let's
ruin it. Let's beat the trash cans all the way
to the Swiss six. Same baby, Let's let's take the
trash cans with us. And when we dispose of those
teams and they're high falutant coaches, they know we know
where to put them, you know, put them right in
there and then do a little bang maang bang on
the trash can. We'll be wheeling Rick Patino out in
(22:25):
the trash can. Look at my shirt, were done there?
It is my shirt? Tell you my shirt looks like
it's uh oh no, yeah, nice, it's our shirt, says omaha.
And then it's got a trash can with a basketball
in the trash can and the Omaha Maverick symbol, the
mascot symbol and says basketball at the bottom there, it's
a good look. I like their colors black, red, white. Yeah,
(22:45):
looks it's good. Yeah. They we're gonna beat some trash cans.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Did you hear on the selection show yesterday they were like,
and if the Johnny, if there's an upset in Providence,
hide the trash cans loved it, although they didn't mention
Omaha one more time. After that, people just on the
they spent more time talking about how the heck North
Carolina got into the tournament, and they talked about any
of these big matchups and to be honest, fair fair,
(23:11):
I think that's fair. Anyway, it gonna be a lot
of fun. We'll talk more about that. I promise we
would talk about Irishness and we will. Maybe we'll play
this John Gruden audio as well, depending on, you know,
if it's friendly to the ears of children, and we'll
do that and we'll just have some fun, because that's
what I want to do today. This is is this
the most fun week of the year for sports fans
(23:32):
for us.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Boy, it's up there for sure, Like a week doesn't
start till Thursday. You know, well, it depends on how much.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
You read into those first four matchups Tuesday and Wednesday.
I mean, remember, Virginia was a controversial pick last year
and then Colorado State beat them by like twenty five.
Oh yeah, you know, well, now San Diego State has
the chance to do the funniest thing ever and just
destroys North Carolina and nobody has to see them anymore.
Texas I also thought was kind of a weird one
(24:00):
got in. But everybody's like branding, branding. It's like, that's
not what this is supposed to be about.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I don't know, well, fun is going to be had
on this show, even if we are trying to talk
like irishman, I don't know. If that was good Irish
that's pretty good. Thanks, so it wasn't bad. We'll do
more later on this on this Monday if you want
to call in four h two, five, five, eight to
eleven ten on news radio eleven ten KFA eight.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
And re sung on news radio eleven ten KFAB. Turkey vultures,
No turkeys. Turkey vulture is a thing, I know, but
these were not Turkey vultures. I know what Turkey vultures
look like I used to live.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Get in a tree? What's that? How did the turkeys
get in a tree? You? No, no, But I saw
what I saw big. What's this tree?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Not that big?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Okay? So they could have climbed into it.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
This was fair sized. It was a fair sized tree.
Like they were in the tree. They were in the tree.
Doesn't make me sound like eight to ten of them?
Eight to ten of them? Yeah, it was terrifying. I
saw what I saw, okay. And I also saw a
bear in Colorado. There's a previous show when somebody tried
to tell you that that doesn't happen, that there's no
bears in Colorado. Me, that's yeah, I remember somebody. I
(25:08):
remember I told that story. And then somebody emailed you, like,
there's no beers in Colorado. There's bears in Colorado. There's
bears everywhere. That's what Ice was saying. I saw a bear.
I saw what I saw a black bear. The black
bears are everywhere. I saw some turkeys in a tree.
It happened.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Black bears. I lived to tell the tale. Well, that's
my thing. But why would they be up there? It
makes no sense.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Why do turkeys do what they do. I don't trust her.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
I watched turkeys hop a fence, but I've never actually
seen a turkey like fly like they obviously can't fly
very far, but like like fly in the tree. And
now all of a sudden, we have like a ton
of phone calls. So so here we go. Turkey's roosts
in trees every night, according to Adam. Oh, okay, you know. Also,
(25:51):
just real quick, Curtis says, I sounded when I tried
to sound like an Irish guy, I sounded like a
poof from the Simpsons. Okay, well that that finitely was
not what I was going for, but I get it.
Uh four two five five eight eleven ten. Four two
five five eight eleven ten. We're getting a ton of
calls right now. Can't wait to hear about what we
screwed up this time. Mark, welcome to the show.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
What's going on?
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Hey guys, Turkeys roost in trees. They will pick the
highest trees, tallst tree in the highest at the highest spot,
and they will roost in trees.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
A turkey will yes wild.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Turkeys and they are all over Omaha. I've working pavilion
and they are all over on Giles Road.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Oh wow. They always do.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Always. Yeah, that's that's how they don't you know, that's
especially when they're younger. That's why predators don't get to them.
They'll roost up in trees at night.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I see, we should we could have had would have
been nice to have this information before. We sounded like
idiots in the last thirty minutes, like an idiot.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
I not sound like an idiot. I sounded like an
idiot questioning you. Thanks Mark, all right, going to let's
go to the next guy, Dave. Dave, what do you
got to go for me today?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Hey, yeah, I've seen them, and they scared to the
genius out of us. They are huge. They flapped when
you're not expected. We were hiking some land we were
looking to buy and this was even behind it. We
we just saw this massive something and herb and yeah
they were turkeys.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Turkey in a tree.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
You know, I don't feel like an idiot because mister
Carlson thought they could fly too.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Hey I suppose w KRP. Yeah, WKRP. I swear I
thought turkeys could fly.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Yeah, yeah, classic stuff. Unfortunately, turkeys did not fly that day.
Dave appreciate it. Yeah, they eventually went down Yeah, that
was that was something else though.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
My goodness, you guys are great, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Thanks Dave rich on a phone line four two, five, five,
eight to eleven ten. What say you Rich?
Speaker 3 (27:47):
W k RP.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
They were dropping like bags of what some men.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
One of the all time classic scenes in television history
right there.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
It was the best. Hey. By the way, my daughter
lives up in McCook Lake, which is just in South
Dakota on twenty nine Interstate twenty nine, and she has
wild turkeys there, flocks of them, you know, fifteen to
twenty at a time, and they pretty much every sunset,
(28:21):
just prior to sunset they will or right after sunset
they will all come in her backyard and fly across
the lake and land in the trees on the other
side of the lake, and they'll do the same thing.
They come out of it just before sunrise in the morning. Interesting,
you can set a clock by them. I watched them
(28:41):
again and again again, and they basically do that to
keep safe from getting eaten by coyotes.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Right, yeah, coyotes and you know, mountain lions and all
those other nighttime hunting things that probably would love to
get their hands One of those guys that's for sure,
all right.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Yeah, you know, les nessmand should have known they do fly.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
You just can't drop them from Yeah, you can't just
drop them from the sky and hope that they somehow
are able to fly.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
It.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
It's a good point. They're rich, many many as.
Speaker 6 (29:12):
Swart as Herb was, he should have known that.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yeah, see, somebody should.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Yeah, somebody, let's get a bad rap, because there certainly
were other people that could have talked him out of
the idea. Let's just be realistic. I mean, many a
turkey met. It's unfortunate demise on that day. I appreciate
the call, buddy, thanks for listening. You, thank you, all right,
And now I'm getting a ton of emails and people
are like, yes, they nest in trees. Okay, it makes
(29:37):
sense now that I've heard it. It makes sense now
that you know they don't want to get eaten by,
you know, some big predator with big old nasty teeth.
All right, you win. I'm a nature guy. Turkeys aren't
something I really thought too much about. I just remember
what walked. I was going on a run in my
neighborhood and I saw three turkeys just like hop a fence,
and I was just like what.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Did I just see? It took me a while to
figure out, like were those peacocks? Like what was that?
Turkeys are everywhere? Now? Why? Now? Like what are they doing?
They're colonizing? What are they planning?
Speaker 2 (30:09):
They're colonizing because they know all the brethren that we've
you know, taken for Thanksgiving dinner and they.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Don't they like that something's happening with the Turkey population
in this in this country, and I don't like it
all right, coming back on news, Rady eleven ten kfa
B
Shamrock shakes. Yeah, that's a McDonald's thing.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Cabbage and shamrock shakes, and green beer and pints pint glasses.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
And bie pints of green beer. Did you is that
green that you're wearing right now? What would you call it?
Blue green? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It's blue green. Yeah, this is the best I could do. Yeah,
I can't tell you. I don't really have much green either.
I don't think I look very good in green. So yeah,
I haven't really invested into having a green shirt just
for the occasion. So gladly you and I have already
agreed to a truce where we're not going to pinch
each other throughout the show just for not doing that.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
So well, I don't know, I feel like I'm off
the hook. This is green enough, blue green? Yeah, maybe
maybe not a pinch maybe, Like I don't know, what's
like a lower form of that.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
A lower form of a pinch. Yeah, I don't know.
A slap that's worse. Don't go up, you go down.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
What's worse than a like what's not as bad as
a pinch? I don't know, Like.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
A throat chop that's worse. I don't know, you keep
going worse. I feel like I feel like I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I can't think of anything that's physical contact but less
than a pinch. I feel like pinch was like already
pretty pretty much a low bar. I mean, if somebody
presented this to them, you think when they'll never say
that's green.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
No, nobody, nobody will it's blue green.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
It's it's definitely blue green. It's like when you get
the crayolas, they get blue green. That's the color, right,
the best I could do? Yeah, well, you try it
harder than I did.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I do have a green shirt, but it doesn't fit.
I have an Omaha basketball sutnerneath. They don't have green
in there anyways, and that's their fault, honestly, Oh, come on,
fault together, puts green in there.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Don't need the green. It's fine, it's fine. We don't
need it for just the one day. Hey, I just
want to talk about this before we talk too much
about Saint Patrick's Day. Did you see that racket come out?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I heard about it. I googled where Omaha and Creyton
ended up. But that's about all I've seen so far.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
So so they this whole thing is a mess. All
of postseason is a mess, there's a there's there's one
thing specifically that I always love, like giving you a
rundown of something and then having you question the morality.
Like that time last week where I had you talk
about this cat that attacked a kid. I think I
(02:14):
actually got to the point where I think the second
cat that does the biting is fifty percent to blame,
and like four other beings are shared the other fifty
percent of the blame. Yeah, yeah, it's of the blame,
you know how where I stand on the end, No, No,
it's like twenty percent is could you say that twenty
percent is the other cat for laying in the only
walkway available. Uh, And then the other thirty percent is
(02:38):
between the child for stepping on the cat and not
showing remorse that the parent who's sitting there, who obviously
did not like have a hold of like the fact
that this kid doesn't pay attention where it's going, and
also having like a cat that is willing to like
attack its child just like roaming in the house. There
had to be something else that would have given them
a clue that this may be something that could happen.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
That's all I'm saying. There's plenty of blame to go around.
Cats are the lowest pecking order in that family situation. Oh,
I don't disagree with that either. I'm just saying that,
you know, they're like at some point actual humans that
can make determinations that was what is or isn't living
in their house.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
You know, like like you get to choose that. Nobody
made them have those cats, especially in that small of
a space, like two cats and a dog and that
small of a space. I mean, give me a break.
Anyway back here, here's today's here's today's conundrum.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Are you ready? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
The U See Riverside basketball team was asked to be
in the National Invitational Tournament the n IT.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
They didn't make the big tournament. We'll talk Big tournament later.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
The U See Riverside team was invited to the NIT
and took one of the last spots. The University of
Southern Southern Alabama South Alabama, sorry USA, South Alabama was
also invited to the n and the NIT. President of
the NIT Board of Managers said that after U See
Riverside accepted the NIT bid, the NIT rescinded its invitation
(04:05):
to South Alabama. You See, Riverside also accepted an invitation
to the College Basketball Invitational, So they are going to
be playing. They're like the first team that I can
think of in decades who are going to be playing
in two different postseason tournaments. This is what the nit's
Board of Managers, Dan Gavitt said after the NIT bracket
(04:25):
was released Sunday evening, it was brought to the nit's
attention one of the team's scheduled to participate in the
tournament also committed to a non NCAA affiliated postseason event.
In an effort to secure another participating team, the NIT
prematurely extended an invitation to the South Alabama Jaguars prior
to learning the original team chose to accept its invitation
to the NIT. Regrettably, the Nit rescented its invitation to
(04:49):
South Alabama. We understand the emotional impact of this confusion,
and we sincerely apologized to South Alabama head coach Richie
Riley and to all the student athletes for the air.
So essentially, they thought U See Riverside was going to
accept the bid to the CBI, not the NIT. They
invited another team to take their spot in the NIT,
until the original team, You See Riverside said no, We'll
(05:12):
do both, and then the NIT said, instead of saying no,
screw you, you can go play in the CBI, they
rescinded the invitation of the second team they invited and
brought back UC Riverside, who now will play in two
postseason tournaments while South Alabama will play in zero postseason tournaments.
Who's the bad guy here? It seems like the NCAA
kind of blew it. You know, how do you invite
(05:32):
the second team without knowing whether or not you see
Riverside is playing in the game. You didn't even ask them,
You just heard that they were in the CBI, and
you're like, oh, well, screw them. Until they came back
and you're like, oh, I guess they accepted our invitation.
Don't you just tell them to get lost? Unless South
Alabama have their spot, they're already in another tournament.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Like what are we doing here? It's pretty silly. Or
we could just like not have as many.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Tournaments, you know what, we could also just not have
as many tournaments? Like who cares about this stuff?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I mean the College Basketball Crown, Like, give me a break.
Did you see the teams in that Nebraska's in that?
It's hilarious that it's called that the college basketball Crown,
and they're literally competing to be the best of the worst,
top of the slop. That's what it should be called.
Colorado went three and seventeen in Big Twelve play this year.
They're in the college basketball in seventeen. That's hilarious. They're
(06:19):
in the college basketball crowd. It's like the it's it's
the equivalent of the toilet bowl, you know, like the
two like you know.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
But Fox created it because they needed some basketball tournament ratings.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
You know, they don't have anything.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
So they were just like, oh, let's get the let's
get let's do the college basketball Crown. That'll be fun.
Is it gonna be sponsored by Burger King? No, No,
it's not gonna be sponsored by Burger King. But I'm
sure sponsored by a lot of people, and no one
will watch and nobody cares.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, and you know what they're gonna have to do.
They're gonna have to have shenanigans. They're gonna have to
have gimmicks, oh for sure. So it's gonna have to
get a little wild. Maybe maybe they should have the
players dress like in like King King garb, you know,
like wearing like oh so I don't even like basketball,
you know. Yeah, I just thought there was costumes and stuff,
you know.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Okay, Like the NIT has historically been like rules, Like
the last decade or so, they have experimented with the rules,
like the thirty second shot clock, the restricted area, backing
up the three point line. They experiment with that in
the NIT before they bring it to the table the
next year and if it works out. Hey, but West Virginia,
did you see this? West Virginia's governor is really mad
(07:22):
at the NC DOUBLEA. He's gone on and had an
address and sent stuff out to reprimand the NC Double A.
He says it's robbery of the highest level and they
might lose their coach to Iowa. Darren Devrees is from Drake.
He's in his first year, as was Virginia coach. The
corruption at the NC DOUBLEA level. They said they left
him out and put North Carolina in because Tucker Devrees,
one of their star players, is hurt right now. Tucker
(07:45):
Devreze hasn't played since December the sixth. They played the
entire Big twelve schedule and had six squad wins without him.
Yet North Carolina with one quad one win in the tournament.
Guess who the chairman of the selection committee.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Is probably some guy from North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Bubba Cunningham, the athletic director at the University of North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
There we go, can you believe this stuff?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
We pay and we watch, we be paid for tickets,
We pay in il money, We support our team and
these are the things that are going on. You want
to talk about shenanigans, These are real life shenanigans happening
right in front.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Of our face. Yeah, and the sad but reality is
the tournament is better with North Carolina in it, you know,
like it's it's kind of like that is what it is.
You know, Yeah, I get it. It's stupid. You get
to that level and you kind of get you get
breaks like they get you know, I know, but that's
so dumb.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
And then and now they're gonna tell us, well, if
you want these little schools like Boise State to have
a chance to play in the big tournament, we have
to expand to seventy six teams.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
It's the only way. Who is asking for that? Who
who's asking for a right?
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Really dumb, really really dumb anyway to seventeen we'll talk irish,
we'll talk Irish heritage. We're going to talk Saint Patrick's
Day on a Monday of all days of the week.
We'll do that next on news Radio eleven ten. Take
kfab each other. I don't have you ever done one
of those where it's just like, here's your closest descendant
(09:06):
in this ethnicity, Like, have you done any of that?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
G twenty.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I mean it's not that, it's like they apparently there's
like websites or apps that you can go to. I
haven't messed around with it. I just had somebody like
go out of their way to they just message him.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
To me, you know long like you have to go
back far. I am very not.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I'm very very not Irish, I think is my understanding
of this. On my dad's side, and big things to
Deborah for sending this to me. On my dad's side,
my nearest relative, my first Irish ancestor, is Gavin Moore,
my eighth great grandfather, who's born in Belfast, Northern Ireland
(09:52):
in sixteen ninety's.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
That's the guy.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
And then on my mom's side it was Thomas Paxton,
who's my seventh great grand father, also born in sixteen
ninety so my earliest Irish ancestor goes back to sixteen
ninety on both sides.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
It's pretty crazy.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I bet we just we all have probably just a
cavalcad of European countries and a lot of us.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Maybe others do, who knows. Yeah, I'm basically just a
Western European mutt like I just you know, some great Britain,
some Scotch, some Irish, definitely, some Welsh, and a little
bit a little bit of a German, I think, just
a little bet.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I think I got more of that than anything else.
We should probably just do one of those things to
figure it out.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I do remember when I did it, they said that
it was possible that I was related to Genghis Khan.
Oh that's not the same thing at all. I think
we were all kind of related to him. Though. He
got around man made his way across Europe and a
couple of different forms and fashions. Ah, he didn't do
a whole lot of fighting, you know what I mean.
That's gross, kind of stayed. He kind of spent his
(10:55):
time in the tent. Oh no scheming. He was work
working on his next battle. Oh that's what he was doing,
you know. The Pope wrote a letter to Gangis gond
At to plead him, please can you just stop, please
stop doing what you're doing, Please stop ransacking Europe if
you could find in your heart to stop. Is that
something that you think he listened to and Ganghis Khan
(11:16):
literally sent him back the lyrics to Miley Cyrus's song
Can't Stop? Is that? Is that right? Yeah? And we
can't stop and we won't stop. I didn't know he
was such a big fan of Miley. No, most people
don't know that. Emory. It's really interesting. I'm the guide
to know. I mean, it's interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I don't know how Irish he is, though I don't
probably not Irish at all, would be my guest. Genghis Khan,
I would say, I don't know what joke you're you're
going to try to tell that.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I'm working one over in my head and I was like,
I don't think there's really a way to say that.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
So, uh, here we go, complete left turn. Betsy Arakawa
Are you familiar with her? That is the wife of
Gene Hackman who died right pantoviron.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Ah does that? Wait? She died a hantavirus.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, he died of you know, dementia. Alzheimer's heart disease. Right,
and the dog, as far as we know that died
died because it was locked in a kennel and not
cared for for over a week.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Man, terrible stuff. What if I told you? The mystery deepens. Oh.
Doctor Josiah Child, who was the leader of Cloudberry Health
in New Mexico, says Betsy Araca Arakawa called him on
February twelfth, one day later than the medical examiners concluded
date of her death on February the eleventh. Wait say
(12:34):
that again, So the medical examiner said she probably died
on February eleventh, Right, that seemed to be the date
that we have any trace of her. We don't see
her leave the house after that. We don't see her
like out and about her. You know, body kind of
looked like somebody who had been dead for that long
by the time we found there. But doctor Josiah Child
that Cloudberry Health in New Mexico says she called him
(12:56):
on February the twelfth, He says, attacked me and didn't
die on February eleventh, because she called my clinic February twelfth.
She called me a couple of weeks before her death
to ask about getting an echo cardiogram for her husband,
which of course is a heart scan. She wasn't a
patient of mind, but one of my patients recommended Cloudberry
to her. She called back the morning of February twelfth
(13:19):
and spoke to one of our doctors, who told her
to come in that afternoon.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
We made an appointment. She never showed. She did not
show symptoms of respiratory distress. The appointment wasn't related to
anything for hantavirus. We tried calling her a couple of
times with no reply. End quote, Well, she's definitely dead,
and she definitely died of the hantavirus, but she died
that fast from the hant of virus. He was just
like okay one moment, and the next moment she was
like she was dead, and then Jeans just like left
(13:44):
to wander for him, and nobody goes and checks on him.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
It's not supposed to happen that fast. That's so crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I need more information, not that I'm real interested in
looking up anything else that's going on with the hantavirus.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
To be honest with you, that sounds like some nasty business. Yeah,
it kind of makes my throat sword just thinking about it.
I don't want to. I don't, I don't, I don't,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I know enough to know that I know too much anyway,
All right, here we go, So let's open the phone lines.
How irish are you? Do you celebrate Saint Patrick's Day?
Are you mad? If you're irish? Are you mad at
people celebrating Saint Patrick's Day? For that's also a thing.
How much Saint Patrick's Day do you think is American made?
And how much Saint Patrick's Day is is truly Irish?
And is this something that you know maybe we should
(14:26):
take more seriously. Is all these holidays like sinco to
my own Saint Patrick's Day that I guess American eyes
or appropriate something from someone else's background might sound crazy,
but there are people out there that think that way.
If you want to talk to me about this stuff,
we're gonna have fun today.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
It's a nice day outside.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
You can be a part of the action calling us
at four oh two five five eight eleven ten four
oh two five five eight eleven ten. You can also
email Emory at kfab dot com Emory at kfab dot
com and we would love to chat with you on
this fine Monday, and while you're at it, just need
to enjoy yourself. Why don't you Why don't you have
(15:04):
a point of Guinness?
Speaker 1 (15:05):
And I can't do Ira? Can you do Irish?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah, a little bit there. I don't know is this Irish?
I don't know what is it? They took me lucky charms.
See that's definitely your lucky charms. They took him, and
now I'm without me lucky charms and I'm lucky charmless.
Would you like a would you like a point of guinness?
I'd like some pote toes, But there's a famine in
my family's starving.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
There has a been a famine in Ireland for decades anyway.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Colmra McGregor, Irish Irish Champion, he's my favorite boxing nationalist.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
All right, Well, if that didn't get if my initial
plea to the Irish you don't really like Saint Patrick's
day didn't get them motivated to talk to me, maybe
that well anyway call us four or two, five, five, eight,
eleven ten and we'll do more on the way on
news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
EMRI's sung on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I'll send you the tweet. I'll let you, like come
through the audio during a break. You never know how
many works he's a coach, but in there I mean,
but yeah, I'm just saying like he's he talks colorfully,
you know, but I love the way he talks. I mean,
has there been a more fun coach to listen to speak? Thing?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Maybe John Madden if you want to call him that,
but we know him not as a coach like Gruden
was legendary for the stuff that he was saying as
a coach. Like some of my favorite lines I use
for everything I've heard from him, like when he's miked
up on the sideline, one one of my favorites. Like,
we're we're not posing for football cards today, boys, we're
(16:42):
not positive for football cards.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Play with some speed.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Like when I'm watching hockey and it feels like the
team's a little lethargic, you're off to a little bit
in a slow start. It's like, we need to stop
posing for hockey cards boys, to skate with some speed.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
That.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
But yeah, well we'll come through that.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
If it's good audio, we'll play it because I think
it's important. By the way, we didn't we went a
half hour not mentioning this. They drew Rick Potato and
Saint John's in the first round. What do you think? Yeah,
you know, it's a pretty high profile guy to be
going up against in the first round.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
I think it's an interesting matchup. I mean it's it's
a tough one in Providence. In Providence got to play
the Johnnys. Creighton's got a tough one too. They're playing
Louisville in Lexington. Yeah, like that's tough. How does Louville
an eight seed? They can basically get a home game
in the second round against a lot of seed. That's
a tough draw. If you're an Auburn you got to
be like, what in the world. You gotta be kidding me.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Man, you put us in a region that's in Kentucky
and we put it you put a Kentucky school in there?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
What are we doing here? Ah?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Yeah, but it is what it is. We we we
do what we can do and we laugh it off.
By the way, by the way, uh Creighton on its
way to uh On, Like Creighton going to Lexington and
that is a Friday game. Let me just double check
(18:07):
that I've got my days all mixed up because I
was doing an Iowa show. Creighton's actually a Thursday game.
That is Thursday at eleven fifteen in the morning. That's
like the first game of the day. Like it don't
like it?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, I mean it's cool that they're first, you know that.
But at the same time, it's not really top bill,
you know. And that's a kind of a sleepy start
I could see. You know, how often have they had
to play it? Even in the Big East Tournament they
were playing late games. Yeah, it's a tough draw, it's
a tough team to play, and it's a tough place
to play them. But I feel like when that's happening
is good for them because you're getting them early. It's
(18:42):
right at the beginning. Sure, you know, I don't know.
We'll say it's a bus trip for them.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
It's like an hour and a half, right if you're Auburn,
the one seed who could play Louisville in the second round. Also,
if Creighton doesn't beat them in Lexington, what is the
NCAA doing there? You sing your overall number one seed
to basically play a road game in the second round.
Is this like, like what are we doing? Like that
is insane?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Whatever? Get lost in c DOUBLEA. I did get a
traffic tip there from a listener quick, oh, go ahead,
fire away. So listener Tim wanted to alert the public.
Public alerted that there is a turkey. What a turkey
out wandering around? A turkey like a bird. Yeah, it's
a turkey out wandering around, he said, eighty fourth and
F southbound.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
The turkey southbound, or he's in the southbound lanes. He's
in the southbound lane, so he's headed somewhere. Just hope
he gets to where he needs to go. I've seen
turkeys in my neighborhood, which is not a place I
would have guessed to see wild turkeys. Saw a few
of them, just kind of wandering around. Yeah, they can jump.
They were jumping a fence.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
When I was like turkeys in a tree. It's unsettling, dude.
I was walking around this park in Grand Island a
handful of years ago, and I looked up and all
these turkeys were sitting in this tree and it was
cold enough out so there was no leaves in the trees.
Like vultures. Yeah, I was just full of turkeys. It
was unsettling.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
What would they do though, I don't know, like a vulture,
I could see like it's waiting for something to die.
It's gonna scrap scrap some trash up and eat it.
What is the turk you going to do? Just I
think they were up there just trying to be intimidating.
I think they were just you know, don't know, or
maybe they were just up there because they wanted to
like not get run old by a car or something.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Oh this was in the middle of a park, but
I don't know. But yeah, So anyways, I saw a
peacock on a house once on a house on a house. Peacock. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
So somebody had like a pet peacock in my hometown.
And I was at my buddy's house and there's all
of a sudden, some commotion and the neighbor called us
and they were like, hey, my my peacock is on
your roof.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
And we came outside and there's this peacock on the roof.
There was this commotion. I love that sentence everything about that.
There was some commotion. You came bustling out of your
house and there's a peacock.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
It was a male, so it had like it was
a long tail, like the long tail with the feathers
and everything. Yeah, and I don't know why he tried
to fly away, but like because they could fly a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
I mean they're not flightless birds.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
But yeah, he ended up on the roof anyway, Steve says,
how are you not talking about your Drake Bulldogs. My
Drake Bulldogs are from the Moine. But yeah, Drake. By
the way, they draw Missouri that is also on the
on Thursday, and that's in Wichita.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
That's not a bad drive. They played Missouri.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Missouri is like right across the right, across the border
from Wichita.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
But they did Drake. You know, Drake fans, that's not
a bad drive. You know.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
I was kind of hoping that Omaha might get that
Wichita trip. Didn't happen. They gotta go play. Did you
see the other game in that quad?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Though?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
For Omaha they play Satan John's and that's a late game.
That's one of the late games on Thursday. So we
got Creighton and Omaha basically bookending the day. It's eight
forty five scheduled start time. It's the second game of
the night. The first game in that quad Kansas in Arkansas.
M that's Bill self in Kansas, who haven't been very
good this year. But they can still got a seven
seed the ten seeds Arkansas with their new head coach
(21:52):
mm h John Calipowi, John Calipari.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
And then you got Rick Patino for the Johnnies. How
about that.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
People are saying this is the greatest coaching quadrant ever
and it could be ruined by guys who beat the
crap out of trash cans.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Is that what they're saying? Oh, yeah, well you know
what they can do. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Let's
ruin it. Let's beat the trash cans all the way
to the Swiss six. Same baby, Let's let's take the
trash cans with us. And when we dispose of those
teams and they're high falutant coaches, they know we know
where to put them, you know, put them right in
there and then do a little bang maang bang on
the trash can. We'll be wheeling Rick Patino out in
(22:25):
the trash can. Look at my shirt, were done there?
It is my shirt? Tell you my shirt looks like
it's uh oh no, yeah, nice, it's our shirt, says omaha.
And then it's got a trash can with a basketball
in the trash can and the Omaha Maverick symbol, the
mascot symbol and says basketball at the bottom there, it's
a good look. I like their colors black, red, white. Yeah,
(22:45):
looks it's good. Yeah. They we're gonna beat some trash cans.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Did you hear on the selection show yesterday they were like,
and if the Johnny, if there's an upset in Providence,
hide the trash cans loved it, although they didn't mention
Omaha one more time. After that, people just on the
they spent more time talking about how the heck North
Carolina got into the tournament, and they talked about any
of these big matchups and to be honest, fair fair,
(23:11):
I think that's fair. Anyway, it gonna be a lot
of fun. We'll talk more about that. I promise we
would talk about Irishness and we will. Maybe we'll play
this John Gruden audio as well, depending on, you know,
if it's friendly to the ears of children, and we'll
do that and we'll just have some fun, because that's
what I want to do today. This is is this
the most fun week of the year for sports fans
(23:32):
for us.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Boy, it's up there for sure, Like a week doesn't
start till Thursday. You know, well, it depends on how much.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
You read into those first four matchups Tuesday and Wednesday.
I mean, remember, Virginia was a controversial pick last year
and then Colorado State beat them by like twenty five.
Oh yeah, you know, well, now San Diego State has
the chance to do the funniest thing ever and just
destroys North Carolina and nobody has to see them anymore.
Texas I also thought was kind of a weird one
(24:00):
got in. But everybody's like branding, branding. It's like, that's
not what this is supposed to be about.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I don't know, well, fun is going to be had
on this show, even if we are trying to talk
like irishman, I don't know. If that was good Irish
that's pretty good. Thanks, so it wasn't bad. We'll do
more later on this on this Monday if you want
to call in four h two, five, five, eight to
eleven ten on news radio eleven ten KFA eight.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
And re sung on news radio eleven ten KFAB. Turkey vultures,
No turkeys. Turkey vulture is a thing, I know, but
these were not Turkey vultures. I know what Turkey vultures
look like I used to live.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Get in a tree? What's that? How did the turkeys
get in a tree? You? No, no, But I saw
what I saw big. What's this tree?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Not that big?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Okay? So they could have climbed into it.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
This was fair sized. It was a fair sized tree.
Like they were in the tree. They were in the tree.
Doesn't make me sound like eight to ten of them?
Eight to ten of them? Yeah, it was terrifying. I
saw what I saw, okay. And I also saw a
bear in Colorado. There's a previous show when somebody tried
to tell you that that doesn't happen, that there's no
bears in Colorado. Me, that's yeah, I remember somebody. I
(25:08):
remember I told that story. And then somebody emailed you, like,
there's no beers in Colorado. There's bears in Colorado. There's
bears everywhere. That's what Ice was saying. I saw a bear.
I saw what I saw a black bear. The black
bears are everywhere. I saw some turkeys in a tree.
It happened.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Black bears. I lived to tell the tale. Well, that's
my thing. But why would they be up there? It
makes no sense.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Why do turkeys do what they do. I don't trust her.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
I watched turkeys hop a fence, but I've never actually
seen a turkey like fly like they obviously can't fly
very far, but like like fly in the tree. And
now all of a sudden, we have like a ton
of phone calls. So so here we go. Turkey's roosts
in trees every night, according to Adam. Oh, okay, you know. Also,
(25:51):
just real quick, Curtis says, I sounded when I tried
to sound like an Irish guy, I sounded like a
poof from the Simpsons. Okay, well that that finitely was
not what I was going for, but I get it.
Uh four two five five eight eleven ten. Four two
five five eight eleven ten. We're getting a ton of
calls right now. Can't wait to hear about what we
screwed up this time. Mark, welcome to the show.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
What's going on?
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Hey guys, Turkeys roost in trees. They will pick the
highest trees, tallst tree in the highest at the highest spot,
and they will roost in trees.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
A turkey will yes wild.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Turkeys and they are all over Omaha. I've working pavilion
and they are all over on Giles Road.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Oh wow. They always do.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Always. Yeah, that's that's how they don't you know, that's
especially when they're younger. That's why predators don't get to them.
They'll roost up in trees at night.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I see, we should we could have had would have
been nice to have this information before. We sounded like
idiots in the last thirty minutes, like an idiot.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
I not sound like an idiot. I sounded like an
idiot questioning you. Thanks Mark, all right, going to let's
go to the next guy, Dave. Dave, what do you
got to go for me today?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Hey, yeah, I've seen them, and they scared to the
genius out of us. They are huge. They flapped when
you're not expected. We were hiking some land we were
looking to buy and this was even behind it. We
we just saw this massive something and herb and yeah
they were turkeys.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Turkey in a tree.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
You know, I don't feel like an idiot because mister
Carlson thought they could fly too.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Hey I suppose w KRP. Yeah, WKRP. I swear I
thought turkeys could fly.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Yeah, yeah, classic stuff. Unfortunately, turkeys did not fly that day.
Dave appreciate it. Yeah, they eventually went down Yeah, that
was that was something else though.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
My goodness, you guys are great, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Thanks Dave rich on a phone line four two, five, five,
eight to eleven ten. What say you Rich?
Speaker 3 (27:47):
W k RP.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
They were dropping like bags of what some men.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
One of the all time classic scenes in television history
right there.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
It was the best. Hey. By the way, my daughter
lives up in McCook Lake, which is just in South
Dakota on twenty nine Interstate twenty nine, and she has
wild turkeys there, flocks of them, you know, fifteen to
twenty at a time, and they pretty much every sunset,
(28:21):
just prior to sunset they will or right after sunset
they will all come in her backyard and fly across
the lake and land in the trees on the other
side of the lake, and they'll do the same thing.
They come out of it just before sunrise in the morning. Interesting,
you can set a clock by them. I watched them
(28:41):
again and again again, and they basically do that to
keep safe from getting eaten by coyotes.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Right, yeah, coyotes and you know, mountain lions and all
those other nighttime hunting things that probably would love to
get their hands One of those guys that's for sure,
all right.
Speaker 6 (28:56):
Yeah, you know, les nessmand should have known they do fly.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
You just can't drop them from Yeah, you can't just
drop them from the sky and hope that they somehow
are able to fly.
Speaker 5 (29:08):
It.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
It's a good point. They're rich, many many as.
Speaker 6 (29:12):
Swart as Herb was, he should have known that.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yeah, see, somebody should.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Yeah, somebody, let's get a bad rap, because there certainly
were other people that could have talked him out of
the idea. Let's just be realistic. I mean, many a
turkey met. It's unfortunate demise on that day. I appreciate
the call, buddy, thanks for listening. You, thank you, all right,
And now I'm getting a ton of emails and people
are like, yes, they nest in trees. Okay, it makes
(29:37):
sense now that I've heard it. It makes sense now
that you know they don't want to get eaten by,
you know, some big predator with big old nasty teeth.
All right, you win. I'm a nature guy. Turkeys aren't
something I really thought too much about. I just remember
what walked. I was going on a run in my
neighborhood and I saw three turkeys just like hop a fence,
and I was just like what.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Did I just see? It took me a while to
figure out, like were those peacocks? Like what was that?
Turkeys are everywhere? Now? Why? Now? Like what are they doing?
They're colonizing? What are they planning?
Speaker 2 (30:09):
They're colonizing because they know all the brethren that we've
you know, taken for Thanksgiving dinner and they.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Don't they like that something's happening with the Turkey population
in this in this country, and I don't like it
all right, coming back on news, Rady eleven ten kfa
