Michael Cohen. What's that name meanto you? Does it mean anything to
you? Ah? Not really.He didn't do anything to you, did
he. I never met the guy. Yeah, Well, Michael Cohen's been

(02:15):
on the stand basically all day.Uh does anybody really care about what this
guy says? I know he's astar witness for the prosecution, but he's
actually like, uh, he's beenin trouble for lying. He's been in
trouble for perjury. He's on thestand right now and he's being asked all

(02:39):
these different specific conversations that he had. They're playing different audios, they're they're
showing different you know, messages,so the jury can see all this I
was on the jury, I'd befalling asleep right now. This is your
star witness. I've been trying tofollow this all day and been like,
oh, yeah, that's the juicystuff. Oh yeah, that's I want

(03:00):
to see. Yeah, And ofcourse it all happens to you know,
fall in line with what the prosecutionreally wants. Is the the conversation with
the Stormy Daniel situation. And againI'm not trying to be that guy,

(03:22):
but what part of all of this, like, let's just say it all
happened, right, They're trying toget the way that it was monitored or
the way that it was reported onthe business documents during the campaign. They're
trying to come up with a wayto describe this as illegal. And the

(03:42):
Stormy Daniel's conversation really only had todo with, well, did it happen
or didn't it happen based on hertestimony. That's it. That's the information
that we have. Okay, whatdoes it have to do with falsifying business
documents? Now, as far asthe Mike Cohen situation is, he's being

(04:02):
asked all these questions and trying totransfer funds to certain people like Keith Davidson,
who happens to be the attorney atthe time for Stormy Daniels and trying
to make sure that she's got themoney that she needs for the non disclosure
agreement. So nobody hears about thisbecause they bought the rights of the story,

(04:25):
right, they wanted to lock thisthing down. According to him,
these were his works locking it down. Yeah, Michael Cohen, fixer,
gotta make sure that nobody hears theStormy Daniels name. Not gonna be a
big deal. Yeah, Well,all these texts, all these money transfers.

(04:48):
We're talking one hundred and thirty thousanddollars, Matt, Can you me
a favor? You know, yougot to calculate her handy sure, Yeah,
okay, so Donald Trump, ifyou go Donald Trump net worth,
right, and again, I knowthat this number is completely made up.

(05:09):
It's a rough estimate of like propertiesand things of that nature, right,
all this different stuff that put youput into like and then it's like it
would be worth this much, right, Like, you don't have a million
dollars, Matt, but I betall of your life, throughout your entire
life, you're going to have stuffthat accrues in a point where you could

(05:33):
be worth up to a million dollars. I've got some work to do,
right, But I mean, likemy house, for instance, Let's just
pretend like my house. I'll tellyou my house. Uh, I didn't
have the cash to pay for myhouse. I don't know anybody close to
me that's roughly my age that does. But the value of the house as

(05:56):
a whole, even though I haven'tpaid for all of it, the value
of the house as a whole canbe looked at as an asset for me
when I talk about my net worth. So Donald Trump, and I don't
need anybody who call me to tryto correct this number, but I'm seeing
with a quick Google search, DonaldTrump worth roughly seven point seven billion dollars.

(06:16):
Okay, can you can you dome a favor? Okay, seven
point seven billion dollars minus one hundredand thirty thousand dollars, which again is
what we're talking about here. Sevenpoint seven billion. So that's seven Comma

(06:39):
seven zero zero coma zero zero zerocome a seven zero zero zero, Right,
it's like eight zeros after two sevens. Okay, that's seven. That's
seven hundred and seventy million, right, So do I need more zero,
you need another zero, just onemore? Yeah, that'll show it to
me. I did, but itdidn't do anything. Let me let me
see it. That's as high asmy calculator goes. Doesn't want to go.

(07:00):
It doesn't want you to go anotherit's not even it's not even showing
you a billion. Let me trymine, man. Donald Trump is rich.
Donald Trump is a real rich guy. Let me try here. Seven
seven zero zero zero zero zero zerozero zero. Okay, I got it,
Okay, I'll do it. I'lldo it. Seven point seven billion

(07:24):
dollars right, minus one three zerozero zero zero. That is now,
according to his network, if hepaid that just in cash, it would
be seven billion, six hundred andninety nine thousand, eight hundred and seventy
thousand dollars. Seven million, sixhundred ninety nine million, eight hundred and

(07:44):
seventy thousand dollars. That's what itis. Okay. One hundred and thirty
thousand divided by seven point seven billionis point zero zero zero one seven percent
of his net worth point zero zeroone seven percent of his net worth.

(08:13):
So so let's say your net worthwas like five hundred thousand dollars, which
is probably closer to what you know, an average person's networth at any one
time could probably end up being ifyou know they're a regular middle class person.
Okay, I'm gonna go point zeropoint zero zero one seven and take

(08:35):
that times five hundred thousand. Thisis us paying eight hundred and fifty dollars
for something if we had five hundredthousand dollars. My point is, this
is not a lot of money forthe guys that we're talking about. This
is not a lot of money.Why am I killing myself every single day?

(08:56):
Matt? I had a long week. I was I was at junkstock.
I went to sip Nebraska. Igot sunbathed, my hair. It
was flowing through a beautiful Midwestern breeze. I was at Mahoney State Park.
I was walking amongst horses, andI was walking amongst the birds. I
was hearing live music. People weredancing, they were sipping on a variety

(09:22):
of beverages. They were buying trinkets, they were buying spices, seasonings,
dog treats. I saw it all, Matt, and I will be honest
with you. Yesterday I did notspend one second thinking about Michael Cohen's testimony
today. That seems like the healthychoice. And here I am today.

(09:43):
I'm pounding through every last thing becauseI can't watch this. They won't let
me watch it. You want totalk about a dictators So if they won't
let me watch what's going on incourt because of the circus you had judge
one Mershawn. Take one of theseright up there, pal, Yeah,
yeah, I can't watch this,so I have to sit all day long
just to try to make sure Ican keep track of this crap. He's

(10:07):
high, by the way, youcouldn't see it. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, Take take one of those. Then you tell what I'm doing.
Now there's it's a it's it's stilla high five. Yeah, yeah,
it's a pound. He's giving hima pound, which yeah, I haven't
pounding him. All right, Hey, you know you want to know something,
Matt, keep censoring me, I'llcome over there and pound you two.
Here's here's the deal. Uh,stop making me laugh while I'm trying

(10:31):
to rate. All right, here'sthe thing. I spent. How many
hours were between the last time wedid a show in the time we have
now? Is it seventy two?It's not quite It's like sixty eight.
Is it sixty eight hours between thenand now. Yeah, sixty eight sixty
eight hours four right, yeah,sixty eight hours. For sixty eight hours,
I didn't think about Michael Cohen once. And you know all I've done

(10:54):
today, Matt, you thought aboutyou think you're thinking about the guy.
I'm on. My phone is inmy I'm eating my lunch, my phone's
a my lap, and I'm scrollingsocial media for the people that the unfortunate
souls that have to be sitting inhere reporting the play by plead was because
we can't watch it, and I'msitting here. I'm just like, this
is boring, this is pointless,This is boring, This is pointless.

(11:16):
This is boring, This is pointless. And I just want to let anybody
out there right now, you cancall me right now and tell me why
I should care about Michael cohen cestimonytoday, because nothing he is going to
say is going to make anybody who'sagainst the Donald Trump trial make them more
interested in it, or make themfeel like, oh yeah, now,
all of a sudden, I thinkthat he did something wrong, and there's
nothing that the Left is going tobe at the end of this, being

(11:37):
like, well, obviously, MichaelCohen. He really broke some stories with
us today. We know what he'sgonna say, we know he's going to
say it, and until he's crossexamined, absolutely nothing is going to be
breaking news here. We are killingourselves over this stupid thing that shouldn't be
happening, but we have to talkabout it because the guy is running for
president and it's breaking me. Matt, do I look broken to you?

(12:01):
You look frazzled. Thank you.I appreciate that. That's a very good
way to describe how I'm feeling rightnow. You can call me at four
h two five five, eight eleventen. Do you care about Michael Cohen?
Do you care about this Trump trialat all? And if you say
no, then I'll retire from talkingabout it unless something absolutely insane happens.
But I mean, the guy's runningfor president and we have to talk about
this four out of five days aweek, even the day he's not there.

(12:22):
Last week, we were talking aboutnon fungible tokens. Okay, did
we have? Was that? Likenot the most fun we've had talking about
this whole thing the entire time.I prefer my tokens to be fungible.
That's just me, me too,right, And I'd even pay money for
him if they were fungible. Butthat's that's not the point. The point
is I had more fun talking aboutNFTs last week than I did talking about

(12:43):
anything related to this trial. Andit's breaking me. I've been I've been
following Cohen testimony for the better partof seven hours today. Somebody helped me
four h two five five eight eleventen. Well, the show goes on
either way here on news radio eleventen kfab Yeah, baby, canby just
trying to make sense of it all? What's what is life? And why

(13:03):
are we even here? That's aquestion we really need to be asking ourselves.
Yeah, go wall to wall withthat. I don't know, let's
dig deep. If you want totell me why we're all here, please
call us at four two five fiveeight eleven ten. Maybe I just need
to have a therapist on with mefor four hours. I don't know.
Like, I'm there, man,I'm there on this. Mike's on our
phone line at four the two fiveto five, eight eleven ten. Hello,
Mike, help me out here.What's going on? Hey, guys,

(13:24):
you know this is basically the accumulationof eight years of persecution of Trump.
I mean, it's just go onforever. The only thing I have
not heard is whether, okay,if Trump ro checks to Cohen, that's
verified. They got him in file. But did Coen pay by cash to
her or did he write her acheck? The money trail kind of stopped

(13:45):
there at Cohen and they listed aslegal expense. And then I'm trying to
think too, is okay, howmany years? This is eight years now,
literally seven years since this went on. Colin's already been proven that he
is a liar. M I hadheard there was one thing going around the
internet. IF's on the internet,it's true. We all know that is
that this is something that Cohen andStormy Daniels connocted to blackmail Trump. I

(14:09):
don't thanks, Mike, I appreciatethe call. Now we're getting juicy.
This is what I want to talkabout. Actually, can Matt You're the
guy that's in charge of like makingsure that I don't get arrested or get
us both fired, Right, that'skind of your job? Sure? Yeah?
Why not? All right? Sotell me if I'm going a step

(14:31):
too far. Okay, let's gofan fiction on this whole thing. Oh,
fan fiction so it's like the fansversion of like what would be like
the real story here, and let'sjust create a bunch of alternate realities without
knowing the full story yet. Like, for example, fifty Shades of Gray

(14:52):
is actually fan fiction for Twilight?Is it? I'm gonna google it.
I'm pretty sure that's true. Imean, I haven't read either. I
just know that they both would didvery well. They did very well,
they say. Also, is fiftyShades of great indoctrination for people to enjoy
relations, if you know what Imean. I don't think people needed to.

(15:13):
Is that a thing they already wantedto do? I think for the
most part, people already did.I just wouldn't give that to a thirteen
year old, you know what Imean? Oh yeah, not a good
time for that. They've got enoughof those thoughts circulating and percolating. They're
still they're still reading the very hungrycaterpillar. Don't be giving them the very
hungry woman that wants to you know, it wants to tie you up.
Yeah yeah, that thing that couldthat could end poorly. Yeah, don't

(15:35):
do that. Okay. So here'shere's a here's my fan fiction. And
I think I think Mike, Mike'sonto something here. Let's make the biggest
possible conspiracy for our book, Likehow many pages do we have if we
got like a five hundred page bookthat we can write. This is the
thing Michael Cohen sees an opportunity again. This is what's a quick disclaimer that

(16:02):
we can tell everybody that we're notsaying this in all sincerity. We're saying
this is like a speculative fun tothink about. Rabbit hole. You know,
like on social media they'll do likeslash s so people know it's like
sarcasm or satire. We need likea sarcasm music ben right, right,
just like if you hear this thing, just know that we're not really telling

(16:23):
you what we actually think happened.But it's fun to think about because it's
a reality that is not next tothe very plausible, but it's possible.
Let's rewind to twenty sixteen. Let'srewind to Donald Trump is about to get
to the presidency, but nobody knowsthat yet because Matt remember he was behind

(16:45):
in all the polls. You rememberthat, you remember the poles in sixteen,
nobody had him winning. Yeah,let me get okay, So this
is what we're gonna do. Idon't want to I don't want my fan
fiction that I'm creating in my headreal time. I don't want to get
interrupted. So what we'll do iswe'll come back and I'll tell you what
the most sensational type of movie plottwist on this entire thing that Mike just

(17:11):
inspired my brain to start coming upwith on real time. This is the
most awake I felt all day.Actually, this is good. I'm glad
Mike called. And if you wantto call, you can four h two
five five eight to eleven ten.Four h two five five eight eleven ten.
But I wouldn't go anywhere. Andif you want to call, you
might want to hold off just alittle bit because you're gonna want to hear
my sensational fan fiction that is comingto me in real time. Because if

(17:32):
this is something that actually happened,I want to see the movie, okay,
and then we can even talk aboutthe parts, because this is the
kind of movie now that's going onin my head that I'm thinking about that
you could get like Scorsese to direct, DiCaprio and de Niro dISTAR in like
like I think there's real juice here, I'll tell you what I'm thinking about
next on news radio eleven ten kfaB. Matt Case is my producer.

(17:55):
I was, I'm gonna give youthis fan fiction on the Donald Trump case
that Mike or previous caller kind ofinspired within me. But while we were
in the break, I saw PattonOswald. You're familiar with Patton Oswald?
Sure, Patton Oswald says door themealone? Good God, I say the
word door theme alone. Are youfamiliar with door theme alone? Not at
all? Door theme alone? Bornnineteen twenty four. As an actress,

(18:18):
she did win an oscar but Ihadn't heard of her before, and she
was twenty two years old when sheacted in a film called The Big Sleep.
And it's a one hundred second clipof that movie and she'll just about
knock your socks off. I findThe Big Sleep is basically what I'm saying

(18:40):
to you, and try not tobe distracted for the rest of of the
day. That's where I'm at.Dang dor theme alone, Thank you,
Thank you Patton Oswald. Anyway,sorry for that tangent. Here's a here's
what I'm thinking. So Michael Cohen'stestifying and Guess what, Matt, Guess

(19:03):
what? Guess what? You'll neverguess what we uh, we have found
out over the last about fifteen minutesof this trial. You'll never guess guess
guess guess uh what am I supposedto guess? That Michael Cohen is gonna
get to be on the stand againtomorrow for more direct questioning. Okay,

(19:26):
and you'd be right. Yeah,I was right. Guess what, Matt
what He's going to be direct questionmore tomorrow tomorrow and then and then no,
we don't know how long that's gonnalast. But then after that happens,
guess what happens? Then he getscross examined by the Trump lawyers.

(19:47):
Yeah, yeah, we get todo this tomorrow. So much fun.
I might punch somebody in the faceanyway. So Mike, Mike said something
like, was this and I'm openthis conspiracy theory stuff, you know,
but let's put the Tin Foyle hatson, you know, right, Tin

(20:07):
Foyle hats are on our heads.He said something that said, basically to
the point, did Michael Conans StormyDaniels come up with this idea together to
try to undermine Trump? So let'sgo ahead and take let me take you
back to twenty and sixteen. DonaldTrump is trailing in most of the polls.
And if a loss to Hillary Clintonin the twenty sixteen election, is

(20:33):
that the end of Donald Trump aswe know him? I mean, he's
gonna be disliked by everyone who's nota political right winger. Right, is
that the end of him? Doeshe get a TV show after that?
Like? Does he try to stayon Paul? If he loses the twenty
sixteen election, it may be overfor him. He probably would have got

(20:55):
a show on Fox News. Idon't think it would have been over at
all. His He was pretty universallypopular in the mid two thousands, you
know what I'm saying, there's nogoing back to that. I think he
would have absolutely started his own newsnetwork if he lost in twenty sixteen,
because it would have been rigged andhe would have started his own news network

(21:15):
to talk about that twenty four toseven. But true social is just a
television show or a TV station basically, Okay, So instead of going a
social media networks, he would juststart a channel. All right, here
you go again, tinfoil hats they'reon. I'm not saying this is what's
true that this is my fan fictionof what potentially could happen. Is there

(21:38):
a better time if you are DonaldTrump's lawyer, his main fixer, is
there a better time to create anout for yourself to undermine him? Then,
right at that point of time,you're like a couple months, a

(21:59):
month, two months away from becauseagain, like we are hearing that this
story is about to break in Octoberof sixteen, the elections in November of
sixteen. To get that all puttogether, we're thinking you have to be
in like September August, September ofsixteen fishing for a way to get this
story out with the Stormy Daniels thing. Let's say Michael Cohen's pretty clever,

(22:23):
and let's say he does put aphone call in to Keith Davidson, Stormy
Daniels lawyer and Stormy and says,hey, I have this idea. Now
I know we're gonna catch and killyour story, but why don't we accidentally
leak the story anyway? And thenwe can cover up the payments and then

(22:45):
when he loses the election, wecan really pounce and I'm absolved from him.
You're absolved from him, and wehave successfully taken down this who was
very close to being like a majorlypowerful individual in this country, and he

(23:07):
takes that opportunity. Let's say hedoes, and then they talk about this,
and then they go out and theyexecute the plan. But then something
bad happens to them, and it'sthe American people. Like Donald Trump is
the president of the United States intwenty sixteen, ooh, man, did
that change how things? Win?Man? Did that change how things worked?

(23:30):
And now all of a sudden,the whole plan goes to Krudd because
we we were for sure he wasgonna lose, and we were gonna jump
off the bandwagon and we were gonnatake him down together. And now all
of a sudden he wins. Well, of course we know what happened to
Michael Cohen, you know, audios, and uh, what a character he

(23:52):
is. And my and Donald Trumpgoes on, has a presidency, goes
through to the twenty twenty election andloses again. Ten foil hats on here.
Let's just pretend like nothing went wrongthere. But then he's out of
the White House and things are quietand things are on the low key.

(24:14):
But then in twenty twenty two,what happens late twenty twenty two, the
rumblings are out, and Donald Trumpsays, oh, I'm going back for
the White House in twenty twenty four. You wait and see, we're gonna
get back to the White House.And then all of a sudden, Michael
Cohen and Stormy Daniels and Keith Davidsonand every single person in the Democratic Party

(24:37):
have their ear because this is theguy we need to take out. A
couple months go by and we getto April of twenty twenty three, then
what happened. Ah, well,I was Donald Trump's lawyer, and you
know what we can say. Wecan say that the payments that went to
the non disclosure agreement for Stormy we'reactually not reported correctly. Bam bomp bom

(25:06):
bam. And then it comes tothe indictment. Shoom. That's the sound
of an indictment that like, uhlike Windows ninety eight style, right like
shoom shoom shoom, Yeah, likelike that's the indictment that that's what that's

(25:32):
the sound they make. Okay,So so he got indicted on thirty four
counts of falsifying business records because MichaelCohen went over to the Democrats and said,
you guys don't know this, butwe falsify the business documents and then
bam, he's indicted. Okay,and then and then guess what happens?
They wait for a little bit.They let the Republican Party try to figure

(25:53):
out who their nominee is gonna be. When he is officially the nominee,
court date set for April twenty twentyfour. Oh no, and you know
what we're gonna do. We're gonnacall every last person on planet Earth that
might have anything to do with thisand make this take at least eight weeks.
And when Michael Cohen goes up there, Michael, we are going to

(26:15):
ask you every possible question, andI need you to take your time.
There's no shot clock to this.If we can get you to testify for
an entire week, we are goingto do it. And here we are
on the thirteenth of May, yearof our Lord, twenty twenty four,
and Michael Cohen is about to finishup his first day of testimony, and
the prosecution is not finished with himyet. He is going to be testifying

(26:38):
again with them tomorrow. That's corda journey not quite happened yet, but
it's close. What do you think. Now we don't know the ending to
the story, but I guess thereal ending of the story is he is
convinced, like as far as thefan fiction goes, is he is found
not guilty, He's acquitted, andthen he goes and wins the White House

(27:02):
and then goes after Michael Cohen.And there's our sequel. I don't I
don't know why he needs to worryabout Michael Cohen at that point, but
there's the sequel. This whole booksounds like another thing that Donald could sell
and make money off. Care wego, then he would just put at
the front that it's the truth andpeople would buy it. We'd have to
put in on the cover. Itwould have to. It would say something

(27:22):
like I did it. But theword if is in the eye, like
the the the OJ thing, rememberthat right, That would be if if
if, if, like Michael Cohenbought the rights, changed the cover.
Yeah, you can release the book, but only the way I say it.
If you had thoughts, call usfour h two five five eight eleven

the movie? If I could getlike Scorsese to direct it and DiCaprio to
be Trump in it or something,would he make a good Trump? He
probably could write, He could doanything. Leonardo DiCaprio, who plays Trump
in the movie. All right,this is the only way we're staying sane,

thinking about than Michael Cohen's, youknow, testimony in the sham trial.

(30:36):
That's all I'm saying. It gotme to think, though, what would
you like to see made into anineteen fifties style movie that you'd watch,
you know, low budget, probablynot great actors, probably not great effects,
But what would you like to likeyou love it so much that you'd

(30:57):
go back and you'd watch much thenineteen fifties version of that, like think
on that. We can talk aboutthat throughout the show as well. Bottom
of the three o'clock hour, we'regonna talk to Diane Mendenhall. She's with
the Omaha Supernovas. They have theplayoffs for pro Volleyball Federation that is coming
up this week in Omaha. TheSupernovas are in that, and we're gonna

(31:18):
be excited to talk to her.We'll also have a couple of tickets to
give away for that as well,all sorts of fun stuff. You got
to just stick around, enjoy theshow and you can always call in and
interact with us at four oh two, five five, eight to eleven ten,
four oh two, five, five, eight to eleven ten, News
Radio eleven ten, kfab Is itweird for me to be so like down
on what's happening in the news cycle? Like like what do we need to

(31:40):
happen for me to be like,Oh, yeah, we're reinvigorated. We're
re energized. I've spent a monthtalking Donald Trump trial in the anti Israel
protests. How much can a guytake? At this point? We're gonna
get momentarily. Also in the fouro'clock hour, we're going to talk about
all the things up for election tomorrowfor the election locally, the primary election,

(32:00):
and that at least is like local, you know what I mean?
Like, can we just make electionsevery week? We can't probably do that
every week. That's probably too much. Can you imagine how many political ads
we'd have to be listening to beNonStop? Lars Mapstead would be in every
spot block. Uh, who he'sa libertarian candidate for president. Oh well,

(32:28):
it's good to hear that. Yeah, that's nice. We were talking
about this YouTube channel. There area few of them, but this one
called Demon Flying Fox makes nineteen fiftieslike real low budget, real old school
trailers for stuff that is like acurrent day thing. And I asked,
like, what's a movie, TVshow, video game, et cetera that

(32:50):
you would like to see made intoa nineteen fifties low budget movie and you'd
be interested in watching? Well Dale'son our phone line four oh two,
five five, eight eleven ten,Dale, thanks for playing long. Welcome
to the show. What's on yourmind? I had an original idea,
but then I saw something that mighteatn a little better, okay, and
that would be weekend at Bernie Standersand have maybe cameos with Father Biden,

(33:19):
maybe the squad, yeah, thepartygoers. And I think that that would
be a really really cool tailure towatch for like a nineteen fifties trailer.
Or do we want to make thismovie nowadays and put a bunch of good
actors in there and make it likea satire. Well, either or it
doesn't matter to me. I justlike to see it. Yeah, I
mean we could do anything. Imean we I mean, whatever idea is

(33:43):
the crazy Have you seen The GloriousBastards the movie? Have you seen that?
No? Yeah? Yes, Okaythat that Okay, I hate to
This is not an anti spoiler show. I don't want to spoil anything that
we just mentioned for the first time. If you've seen it and you know
what I'm talking about. But theybasically take a bunch of like historical figures

(34:05):
in a historical time that actually happened, and then just rewrite the story like
it. They mess with the facts. They're not trying to tell you this
is actually what happened. I thinkif as long as you do that,
as long as you say, well, this just is a fan fiction essentially
of this time period, then youcould do whatever the heck you want.
Dale, Let's go for it.We just need the production company in a
few million dollars. All right,well, let's do it. Appreciate Tom

(34:30):
Dale. That's what I'm saying.Right And by the way, Glorious Baster's
good movie. Quentin Tarantino, BradPitt's the Star. One of the stars.
It's Nazi Germany, mid nineteen forties. Okay, world War two is
raging on. Christoph Waltz is likethe lead Nazi guy, and we know

(34:52):
him to be an amazing villain.Okay, you got to see the movie
I don't want to spoil the ending, but it's like it's happening in actual
historic times, but they just theydo not stick to the history. They
write it is if like a timelineshift alternate universe happened. And I tell
you what, it is a funride. It's a fun ride. This

(35:14):
is what When did we stop havingfun in America? When did everything have
to become so serious? You can'teven tell jokes anymore without getting like yelled
at or canceled, you know whatI mean? Like, have you seen
any of the like the good comedyTV shows lately. I mean, they've
they've had to shave off all thecool stuff, all the good stuff about

(35:35):
them because they're afraid of being canceled. I think that just as many people,
if not more, were offended beforeTwitter, they just didn't have a
means to gripe about it and gathertogether in their gripes about it. Yeah,
but that's but isn't that, Like, I mean, come on,
isn't that isn't that what we're talkingabout? Right? Who cares? You

(35:57):
can't group think and like force thecourt of public opinion to change without social
media? So fine, Like,yeah, a ton of people were offended
maybe at your family guy joke fromthe early two thousands that really rubbed people
the wrong way if they, youknow, were used to seeing stuff like

(36:19):
that on TV, but they couldn'tjump online and find eight hundred thousand other
people that were willing to say thesame thing and then just try to like
cancel the show or try to cancelthe guy who's like right in the show.
I got to a point where,you know, like they've had to
recast things, They've had to youknow, people have I don't know,
man, we just stopped having fun. We stopped having fun as a society.

(36:44):
What has to happen in this countryfor us to be Do we have
to make a film? Do wehave to start a film company that just
makes fun of everyone the equal opportunityfun haters or whatever? Would that work?
Do you think we could do thatand pull it off? No?
Can anybody at this? Yeah youcan? So what do you start with?
What's the first project? Is itlike, who do we make fun

(37:07):
of? First? Or or whatfilm do we make as a satire to
like real life events, offending probablyhalf of the people that will watch it
while the other half like cackle andlaugh and think that's hilarious, and then
our second movie goes the opposite directionand goes after those people who are laughing,
and then now all of a suddenthey are like, oh gosh,
is that really what it's like?And then the other side can laugh hysterically.

(37:30):
How do we do this because thismight be the answer to getting us
back on the same page, right, Offending everyone equally is what you mean?
Yeah, how do you do that? So you basically you want to
be like the film Batman, You'rethe dark knight works in the shadows,

(37:52):
you know, like you're the badguy that brings everyone together. Is Batman
a bad guy? Well, buthe's he's doing the dirty work. I
mean, he's doing the work thecops can't. Right, that's fair.
He's a vigilante, right, andwe technically breaking the law. We got
to talk about it. Speeding aroundGotham like that that, we got to
talk about the Gotham Police Department.I mean, those guys never get the

(38:14):
bad guy. They are, oh, for whatever, Batman's always beating him
to it. Yeah, well,Batman wouldn't need to be a thing if
Gotham Police Department did its job,all right, Well, if you want
to help us figure out how tooffend everybody because I'm sick and tired of
talking about the Trump trial. Sorry, you can call us four h two
five five eight eleven ten. Fourh two five five eight eleven ten.
I'd love to hear your thoughts onthis. It's news Radio eleven ten.

(38:36):
Kfab, you're being uncouth with me? Uncouth, Yeah, of a person
or their appearance or behavior that islacking good manners, refinement, or grace.
So yes, yeah, we arekind of all just being a little
uncouth these days. The uncouthness levelof the America is at an all time

(38:57):
high, at least in my lifetime. I don't want to go too far
because I feel like people are prettyuncouth in a variety of ways in years
past. I mean, gosh,in nineteen twenty six, how often were
people taking a shower once a week? Maybe it's probably a bath in a
barrel back then. I mean,that's pretty uncouth. If you're asking me,
and when's the last time you sawon Emily Post? What happened to

(39:22):
that? Is that a person?No, it's when you put your pinky
out when you're like taking a sipof tea, that's the old Emily post.
Why is it called that, Idon't know, because she probably came
up with it. But it's veryrefined and sophisticated. Now. I learned
that skill from the first episode ofSpongeBob when he went to the tree Dome,
right, went in down, pinkyout Yep. I live by that.

(39:45):
Yeah, that's same, same,same. When you come to the
Gourmet Club on Wednesday to spaghetti worksthat we're gonna have and you're gonna see
me there, you're gonna be like, wow, and Emory, he's fancy
because when in doubt, pinky out, pinkys will be out that whole meal.
Yeah, NonStop. Yeah, sobe on the lookout for that.

(40:08):
Gina emailed in and said you shouldwatch Unfrosted by Jerry Seinfeld. It's very
funny. It's about Kellogg's and postserial companies. I saw the I saw
the I think it's on Netflix.I saw the little trailer of this pop
Across and I'll be honest with you, I was in. I want more

(40:30):
movies like that. I like,if you can handle the language, any
Will Ferrell movie, right, justthrow on a mid two thousands Well Farrell
movie and we're in. We're good. But I'm just I'm bummed. I'm
just bummed right now, dude.I had such a great weekend and I've
spent all day just reading through thisMichael Cohen testimony, and for people tuning

(40:51):
in, They're just like, whatis this guy talking about? First of
all, I have no idea?So if you are ever, just like,
does every even have any idea whathe's talking about? No? Ever?
Like, like, truly, Matt, you could attest to this like
I'm just making stuff up all thetime. Like I'm sitting here making ish
up all the time. What doyou mean? I just I sit down
and I'm just like, can youbelieve this guy? And I'm just like,

(41:16):
no, I can't. But howcan I talk about this? And
so I find a couple of thingsthat like make me think, and I'm
like, oh, okay, Icould talk about that. I've been reading
this crap all day, Matt,and I've had enough. I've had enough.
Is this what my life's going tobe like? From now on?
I have to sit here every singleday and talk about a trial that the
former president is in, or talkabout protests that are anti jew on American

(41:40):
College campuses, Like, is thatwhat our lives are now? Is this
what news talk radio has become?Is there any way I can talk about
like my fantasy basketball team or anythinglike, is there any room to like
talk about my bird watching habits ormy long growing exploits or god forbid,

(42:00):
I see another mouse in my basement. We can't talk about that anymore.
I got to talk about this.I feel bad. I feel bad for
people in this country that live onthe news cycle because it hasn't changed.
It hasn't changed, dude. Likefor the last month, it has been
the same two stories dominating our newscycle. It is number one, the

(42:21):
Donald Trump trial and Michael Cohen continuingto testify. They are not done yet,
by the way, They're still going, and they've already said he is
going to be continuing to be examinedby the prosecution tomorrow. Like my brain,
it's melting off the sides of myfrontal lobe, Like like my brain

(42:42):
stem is like holding me up.My nervous system is just kind of like
we need to think about something else. And then I watch a five minute
video of prairie dogs at a zoo, just like having fun playing around,
Like that's where I'm at. Ladies, gentlemen, I'm going off a cliff.
Maybe the six hours of radio everyday is doing me bad. I
don't know. Maybe I'm talking aboutthis stuff too much, but alas,

(43:07):
this is the world that we livein, and it is my duty to
keep you informed when anything informative actuallycomes up. And I'm just not sure
anything informantive is ever going to comeout of this guy. I've been scrolling
this stuff all day. You know, you want to know something else.
Michael Cohen says he spoke with DavidPecker, National Inquirer guy, about his

(43:27):
unhappiness with his bonus from mister Trump. Cohen recalls telling Pecker, can you
believe this? After all of thisand laying out one hundred and thirty thousand
dollars to protect him, this isthe best I can get. Cohen says,
I couldn't believe it. It wasn'teven so much about the number as
much as it was about the disrespectthat came with it. I was just
personally insulted. This is what we'retalking about. Four h two five five

(43:54):
eight eleven ten. It's the phonenumber four O two five five eight to
eleven ten. Steve's here. Steveput me out on misery. What's on
your mind? Well, I thinkwe need to go after Well, we've
at the root cause of a lotof things in recent years. And that's
what I would call the academic aristocracyin this country. Those are big words.
Yeah, okay, the people whothink, the people who think because

(44:17):
they have more education they are abetter human being and not just that they
have more education. Uh huh,that's good. I think we got a
lot of that. No, andyou're right, And you know what,
And I think think this, Steve, because when you think about when they
do these exit polls and these demographicexit polls, all those demos are you

(44:39):
know, like are you a Democrat? Are you a Republican? Where are
you from? What kind of citydo you live in? How old are
you? Who have you generally votedfor in the past, that kind of
thing. But they also are likewhat's your education level, like like do
you have a college degree or doyou not? And I think that further
separates us because they are finding moreand more and more ways to make us

(45:00):
feel opposite. Then we feel togetherlike a highly educated individual that's got like
a PhD. They're generally voting liberal, and then that's being reported to us
that, well, if you're votingRepublican, you're not educated, isn't that
BS. Well, I'll tell youwhat my grandfather said, who was a

(45:20):
tractor mechanic in Southeast Iowa. Hesaid, first, you go to school
and you get a BS degree,and we all know what that is.
If you hang around a lot longer, they'll give you an MS and that's
just more of the same. Andif you stand around long and if you
get a PhD, it's the samestuff filed higher and deeper. Yeah,
you know what you nailed on thehead there, Steve. We got to

(45:42):
stop acting all aristocrats aristocratically to eachother just because we went to school for
a few years. I'm with you. I appreciate the call, Steve.
Thanks for calling in. Take care. Yeah, yeah, there you go.
That's a I mean, look,it kind of feels good to look

(46:02):
down your nose of people if youthink that you know more than them.
Like when matt Case tries to comeat me and talk to me about nineties
basketball, I'm just like Mattie boy, come on, man, Oh so
you know more about nineties basketball thanme? You know what? Maybe that
was a bad example, because youdo actually know a lot about nineties basketball.
You know. Steve has a point, maybe we should just stop learning
altogether. Well, that's not thepoint. Man's school, that's what we

(46:23):
should do. No, that's notthe point, Matt. The point is
when did school get so high fulluting? I thought it was for everyone.
Now it's like being gate kept bythe people who are trying to be your
overlords in doctrinate you into the waythat they think at these college campuses.
That's why the faculty walked out withall the students and have been protesting with
them. You know. I thinkthat's more the point we should. We

(46:45):
should get rid of all this technologytoo, which go back to banging rocks
together. That's not technically. Whatdoes that accomplish? Is that how you
started fires back in the day.I don't know. I think they used
to do it. And look athow happy the cave man was first.
Today's integrate a crazy society with allthis learning, and yeah, give it

(47:05):
to all this learning. It's toomuch. Doug's on a phone line of
four h two, five, five, eight to eleven ten. Doug,
what's up? This is? Youasked for Doug, right, you're talking
to me. I want to makesure, Yeah, you got it.
Hey, I make it angry thelast time. So let's not even talk
about all this boloney. How aboutuh, let's talk about Katlen Calark Clark

(47:27):
and how she's bringing a lot ofpeople into the w NBA. Yes,
how many people thought that that thatwould happen in their lifetime? One girl?
Yeah? Well, here's the thing, Doug. You want to know
how crazy that part is. Idid a draft for a w NBA fantasy
league with my buddies last night.Okay, Yeah, I mean you want
to talk about something I never thoughtwould happened in a bazillion years. And

(47:51):
she's the real She's the genesis ofit. I mean, without her,
the attention isn't there. I mean, you're one hundred percent right. I
think that while I'm here and I'mgoing through every single Michael Cohen testimony thing,
and I am getting brought down bythe fact that this is a real
thing that we have to pay attentionto. There are a lot of good,
awesome stories that are happening out therein our world today, and I

(48:13):
appreciate you calling in and making makingme remember that appreciate that, Doug.
Hey, I'll tell you one thing. Yep, go Blazers from nineteen seventy
seven. Go Blazers nineteen seventy seven, Bill Walton, Maurice Lucas, those
Blazers, doctor Jack Ramsey with thecrazy plaid pants. Okay, yeah,

(48:35):
that's year I graduate from school inOregon. Oh so you were actually a
fan, yes, sir, Well, that's awesome. That's one of the
best. That's one of the mostinspiring and best basketball teams of all time.
Doug. I'm jealous that you hadthe opportunity to see them happening while
you were growing up. That's gotto be an awesome memory. It is,
sir, And you have a goodday and think of some good things.

(48:59):
Thank you. I just wish thatcertain things. And yes, I
watched too much crap on TV aboutthis stuff going on, and yes it's
making me sick. Yeah. Hey, where I defended this country for twenty
eight years and look where it's going. It's in the We are supposed to
be Americans first and care about everyone, and we're not doing that right now.

(49:22):
No, thank you anyway, Yeah, appreciate it, Doug. That's
good stuff. Thank you. Somuch for calling in. Man, You're
welcome, bye, Okay, Yeah, And I mean like there have been
a few events in world history thathave actually united US, and unfortunately most
of them have led to war,which is really sad. Nebraska's strong.
Remember a few weeks ago when thetornadoes ran through eastern Nebraska and western Iowa.

(49:43):
Nobody was asking each other like whatyour political affiliation was. They were
just going out there and helping itclean up. We need more of that,
right man, the man. Nobodycares about that when you need help,
you shouldn't. Well, if youwant to talk about something else.
One thing that I I'm really excitedto talk about the Omaha Supernovas. They
have their playoffs coming up. Thisis a fun, positive story that's happening

(50:06):
right in our community. And we'lltalk to diamend and Hal's in charge of
the club and also let you knowhow you can watch the playoffs coming up
this week. Just stick around onnews radio eleven ten KFAB
