Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He has publicly backed
in principle the ceasefire agreement with Hesbelah, that is one
of the two biggest proxy groups that Israel has been
fending off since last October. But now it's about the cabinet,
and Israel's cabinet has to approve this ceasefire, and net
(00:24):
Yahu says that they agree in principle to this idea.
So we will let you know if this is officially
this officially happens in principle, and if he also made
it very clear publicly that if Hezbolah were to violate
this agreement, this ceasefire agreement, then that's that we're back on,
(00:48):
which is probably how it should work, Let's be honest.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
AnyWho, Yeah, we will let.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
You know if that happens, because that could be an
important moment to move us into peace in the Middle East,
and we know we're unsure of what's going to happen
in the Ukraine situation.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Okay, so here's just a quick principle.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I don't want to get too overtly serious, but I
saw this video, and Matt, I need your opinion.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
There's a video of Leonardo DiCaprio.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
You know who that guy is, right, Yeah, he's in Fiji,
guessing on a trip of vacation. Maybe he's filming something there.
I don't know, but he seems to be with, you know,
like a publicist of some kind. And he is walking
through the lobby. You know how when you're in a hotel,
you walk from like the elevator to the lobby. There's
enough space there to be seen by people. Well, apparently
(01:45):
the hotel workers wanted to greet him as he was
coming down, and I'm guessing his publicist let him know
that was him. He's wearing a black hoodie, zip up jacket,
black pants like jeans or whatever. He's got sunglasses in
a black hat on, and then he pulls his phone
out and looks like he pretends to get on a
phone and then kind of keeps his head down and
(02:06):
as everybody's like cheering for him and clapping, he just
doesn't acknowledge them and walks out the door and gets
into the car that's waiting for him. What do you think,
heartless move? Reasonable move? What do you think?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Uh? I don't know. Not very nice, but I probably
would have done the same thing.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I think I probably would have done the same thing.
I mean, I don't know if I would have done
I don't know. It's tough because I mean, this guy's
what fifty, he's like fifty years old, probably now something
like that.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
He's what's his math equation? He's whatever age times two
plus fifteen that his girlfriend is aged. So I think
I think you're shooting high there. Actually, actually I just
did the math. That's illegal, So let's update the map there.
Whatever age he's okay, So if he's fifty, he just
turned fifty, okay, so I would guess probably probably divide
(02:58):
by two. I think that's number. Subtract maybe six or seven. No,
I think twenty five is the number. I think twenty
five is at the time where he cuts it off. Yeah.
Now again, I'm not going to troll somebody for a
living a lifestyle. They wont.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
If he can get a bunch of twenty five year
old's good for him. You know, he's obviously not interested
in having a partner forever, so you know.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Well, maybe he should be more interested in enjoying the fans.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, but let's you're fifty years old and he's been
in the public eye for thirty plus years, like most
of his life, like even as a kid, right, Like,
I mean he was in stuff in the early nineties.
At what point you're just tired of this. It's kind
of what you sign up for, is it dough?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah? I don't think so. He's a very private person.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Like when do you ever hear stories about Leonardo DiCaprio
except for people saying he broke up with his twenty
five year old girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
You know what goes before that one? A few times
career choice goes well with private people. What an accountant?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, but this guy is maybe the best actor of
our lifetimes. So I'm not going to hear Leonardo DiCaprio
slander the best. He's the best. Give me one, give
me somebody you'd rather have in a movie. He gets
one bear and suddenly he becomes the best. Okay, he
got the Oscar for that, But like that's like the
sixth or seventh best movie he was in. I mean,
(04:14):
this guy can do anything. He was in He was
in coloch to the Flower Moon at the end of
last year. My wife and I wouldn't go see that
three and a half hours.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
That's a long time. No movie should be that long
did you get a bathroom break in there? No what
I told it? Yeah, I knew.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I knew it was going to be that way, and
I held it because I wasn't going to miss anything.
I intentionally didn't drink anything for like three hours leading
up to the movie. That's what the stadium caddy's for. Yeah, well,
I'm not that guy. So anyway, it was incredible. He
is the opposite of what you would expect Leonardo DiCaprio
to be. He's this ugly, stupid guy who is basically
(04:50):
taken for a ride in different way. I mean it
was crazy, man, Like that movie that that got me
thinking about some things, and he was in it. He
was the star he Titanic when he was like what
twenty three years old? Like, he was incredible in that movie.
I don't really he had the entire world falling in
love with him. What's the big whip about acting? Like, oh,
(05:11):
so you can pretend really well good for you get
a day job. I don't even know what to say
to that. I'm just saying, and that is just like
one of the worst, Like it's almost as bad as
the Jaysker take Yesterday for almost as bad. Yeah, yeah,
you could pretend really well. You know how many people
are terrible at acting that try to do it. You
know how many awful people have actually found their way
(05:33):
into movies.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
You know, I'm a great actor, but I wanted a
respectable career. Yeah. Yeah, how's that going for you? Not
so well? Yeah? Think about what we do for a living. Yeah,
I made a bad choice.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
These guys are making millions of dollars. Yeah, he gets
to pretend really well. Well, guess what, it's hard to
pretend that well, nobody does it as well as he does.
And you know what, they make millions and millions of
dollars doing that. Kind of weird if you think about it,
it's not weird if you think about it, it's it's
quite literally entertain. William Shakespeare wrote like what fifty plays
or something like that. He still talked about four hundred
(06:06):
years after he's dead.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Old Bill Shakespeare out there shaking it up. If he
was real, he is real. What are you talking about?
Are you saying that he's some conglomeration of guys of
his time? Yeah, I can't believe you. You need to
get off QAnon and start living in the real world. QAnon.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Wow, I'm just saying, Leonardo DiCaprio is a private person
who doesn't seem to have we don't know much about
him at all. For a guy that's been in the
public eye as long as he has, that's pretty darn impressive.
I'm gonna go ahead and guess that he just gets
pretty awkward when he's in situations like that where people
are like clapping for him and trying to celebrate him.
And if I was, I mean, I'm usually not like that,
(06:47):
all right, Like I would like acknowledge the crowd that's
who I am. But if he's the kind of quiet, secretive,
private person that he seems to be when he's not working,
then my best guess would be, yeah, I'd act the
exact same way. I'm awkward with this. I don't like this,
this is this is weird for me. I'm just gonna
(07:08):
power through the lobby while they're all cheering for me,
and I'm gonna get in my car and go where
I was supposed to go.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
He could have at least like waved, you know, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
You're probably right, but still I think I can get it.
Could you imagine just trying to do anything normal if
you're famous like that. He hasn't been able to do
anything normal his entire life. And yet, like you said,
you get what you sign up for at the end
of the day. Though, don't you think at some point
it'd be nice to not be fond over by so
many people, so I can just go to the grocery store,
or I can go to a football game, or I
(07:39):
can go to a movie, can go for a walk
in my neighborhood. Guys like DiCaprio, they can't do that stuff.
They can't do any of that stuff, and then we
clown on them because they're, you know, acting all elite
in their press boxes and whatnot. Well, you expect him
to be able to enjoy the game by just sitting
in the crowd. It'd be a pretty cool move. You
think they would enjoy the game at all? Probably not,
(08:01):
I'd have to see it first to know. No, No,
they wouldn't because they'd be pestered, because they'd be very
easily identified unless they showed up in a slip knot
max mask or something, in which case then I don't
think they'd know who it is.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You might get escorted out of the building. I don't know.
Anyway to eighteen you.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Got thoughts on this, you got thoughts on famous people
being seclusive or a little calloused to adulation by people,
you can give us a call. We'll open the phone
lines four O, two, five, five, eight, eleven ten. We'll
also take calls about anything. It's an open phone line Tuesday.
I don't know how we're going to make that into
an alliteration somehow, but you know you can call us
if there's something on your mind you want us to
(08:38):
talk about. Because it's a the last day of the
week for us, well we'll kind of pretend like it
is a Friday. Just have some fun getting you set
up for your holidays. Here on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Emery Sunger on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
See what is on your mind today?
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Where are you doing well? I don't think mein Ardi
Disteper he's a great an actor. Oh he's a good actor.
But if he was a great actor, he's put on
this guide and he just make a persona and he
live his life in the real world like the rest
of us, and nobody'd know if he was a real actor.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Well, I mean that is true. If you're really an actor,
you could just mess a actor your entire life.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
I mean, well, you know what are actors? Actors are
people that directors tell where to stand, how to move,
what to say, and everything else. Nothing that they do
is have their own generation to speak of.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, and I mean that's that's fair too, Steve. I
just you know, I'm the kind of guy though. You know,
first of all, you need to look a certain way.
But also second of all, if everybody was as good
as some of the like high level people in Hollywood are,
then I mean I certainly would give it a go.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I just know that I'm not as good as an actor.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
You know, we just we just went to an election
where everybody thought Kamala Harris was the worst running mate
Joe Biden can have, and then all of a sudden,
he's the greatest thing. To cite Fritt, it's all marketing.
It has nothing to do with the ability.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Mmmm.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
No, that's interesting. You got to have a good PR agency.
That is one thing that you definitely need to have.
Get yourself a good PR Hey, Steve, Okay, I appreciate
the opinion today.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Thanks for calling us.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
All right, all right, there he goes at Dana on
the on the email and Marie kfb dot com. Both
Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise better thoughts.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I think we could even well, I don't know, yeah,
I could probably come up with some more. I don't know.
I mean Tom Hanks is pretty good. Yeah, he's had
some huge movies. Tom Cruise. I think Tom Cruise gets
much maligned for, you know, the whole scientology thing. He's
obviously a good actor. Yeah. His his thing that he
did in that movie Tropical Thunder, Tropic Thunder, Tropic Thunder.
(10:47):
You know that that that that that that shows his
range right there. The he played that silly character that
had the big sausage finkers, remember that, like giant hands.
Oh yeah yeah, Les Grossman. Yeah, he was and kind
of a chubby belly and he had like those giant hands. Yeah,
that's range.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
But he's not like that movie was supposed to be funny,
and you know it was. Leonardo DiCaprio hasn't done like
a traditional comedy.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Leonardo DiCaprio is pretty good. He's a serious guy.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
The thing with Hanks, there are some movies that Hanks
does that you're just kind of like, eh, are we
sure Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks has made an entire living
on like eight years of his career, like his nineteen
ninety two to two thousand, it's pretty untouchable. Like it's
hard to imagine anybody else having an eight year run
(11:40):
like that, multiple Best Actors at the Oscars, multiple movies
that he started in that were up for Best Picture,
like every year he was in the biggest movies, and
it's hard to argue with that. I'm just saying, like,
if I want a guy. And by the way, Tom
Hanks and Leo are both in Catch Me if you Can,
which is actually turning into one of my face favorite
movies on rewatch. Have you seen that lately.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
It's been a handful of years, but I've seen it
a couple times and every time I really enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
You need to watch it again, even because it's so
well written and you want to know something, it's not
just about the roles, but Leo steals the movie. Leonardo
DiCaprio was the star of that movie. And Tom Hanks
coming off of the best eight year run maybe of
in movie history for an actor in terms of what
he was in and what he won.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
It's hard.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
It's hard to argue that Leonardo DiCaprio isn't better as
an actor based on that movie alone.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
You know who's listed as the number one actor of
all time on IMDb.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
It's just like the star ratings that they have at
the top, like out of ten that they rate these
people on.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
This is a list that came out on this website
from twelve years ago, so it's a little outdated. Top
one hundred greatest Actors of all time. So somebody wrote
this from twelve years ago. Yeah, so really, it's just
this one guy's opinion.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
One guy's opinion from twelve years ago. He says, Jack Nicholson,
he's fine, Yeah, he's good.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah. Is DiCaprio even on there?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
He hasn't even like half of his catalog hasn't even
included it in this if? Like, but did he still
make this guy's list or do you stick with like
the Frank Capras of the world.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
He's not in the top ten. I tell you who
is in the top ten that I agree with, Paul Newman,
there's another good guy. This is classic stuff though, this
is still like no modern people. He me, yeah, he's
not even in the Let me see, is he in
the top twenty? Not even in the top twenty. He's
got Jeff Bridges. Oh, Jeff Bridges. I thought that was
Jeff Daniels. Jeff Bridges is in the top twenty best.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I'm gonna ask chat Gbt, what do you think, chat Gibt,
You'll say.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Can you do it? In the form of a roast?
Who are the best actors in Hollywood? It's twenty eight
on this list.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Leonardo DiCaprio's ever eight, twenty eight without half of his catalog.
All right, so Chatchibt is fired off a list here
and he's giving me all these things. Number one, Marlon Brando,
number two, Roberts and Neil who was also Robert de
Niro has been in you know, multiple big things, but
most notably with Leo was in Killers of the Flower
(14:09):
Moon last year. Robert de Niro and Leo on the
screen together. It was it was magic. With Martin Scorsese
is the director. It was fantastic. That's a whole lot
of Italians in one room. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Meryl Streep.
I didn't ask for actresses. Meryl Streep, Al Pacino, Daniel
Day Lewis. I hear people who are really into the
(14:29):
to the art of acting, say Daniel Day Lewis is
kind of the guy.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
He's the method actor.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah, Humphrey bogart Man, that's that's thrown it back, Jack Nicholson,
Kate Winslet, Morgan Freeman, Audrey Hepburn, and then at eleven
they have Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet ahead of DiCaprio. Here
chat GPT, get a grip.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
She was great in that one thing. She was great
in a lot of things. Actually, I do like her
a lot.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
She's she's actually was in the Notebook, right, No, that's
Rachel mccadams. Oh, Kate Winsley was in the Holiday but
more note I believe was in Titanic with Leonardo DiCaprio, right,
and it was awesome, like she held her own with
him every step of the way and she was like,
what nineteen or twenty when they filmed that, so like
very good. James Stewart was twelve. James Stewart, Jimmy Stewart,
(15:15):
Jeremy Stewart. It's a wonderful life guy.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Clint Eastwood was thirteen, and then Tom Hanks comes in
at fourteen. Me, I don't know, I don't know chat
GBT and kind of let me down on that one.
No Tom Cruise to speak of on that.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
List, for whatever it's worth.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Great movie star, not so sure he's a great actor.
But again, to each their own. And you know what,
if I was super tooper famous, I'd probably be ducking
out of people's consciousness as much as they could anyway.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
You know, I don't know, just my thoughts.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
It's two twenty nine, all right, when we come back,
some other things that we need to get to today,
and your phone lines are open. So four h two
five five eight eleven ten. Four h two five five
eight to eleven ten is that phone number, and we
will talk to you next. Could you see Omaha trying
to get another professional sports team. I'll give you a
couple of options that could be out there here on
news radio eleven toon kfab.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Oh, Maurice Songer on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I'm not laughing.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
You are You're you were laughing you and I was
chuckling a little bit. Yeah, you're elitism. You're elitism, medhism.
Come on, man, come on, elitism. Yeah, elitism. I'm just
basking in my husculinity. That's what I'm doing. That's not
going to be a thing. I'm making it, trying to
make it a thing I need. Husculinity isn't a Thingrechen,
It's never going to be a thing. Stop trying to
(16:30):
make husculinity happen.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I'm that obnoxious kid at lunch, you know that just
keep saying that thing that they want to make the thing,
but it's not catching on.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah, it's the Gretchen Wieners and mean girls trying to
make fetch happen.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Right. Husculinity though, pass it on. We need to bask
in our husculinity right now. Look, we just got the
Bowl eligibility. We just smacked her on Creighton life is good.
Oh my I can make I was making off air
the Creighton women. The Creighton women, by the way, defeated
the ranks Nebraska. Yeah, a ranked Nebraska team that was
hobbled because of a significant injury.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And Creighton's man's basketball team. Was it when Steven Ashwartz,
a long time starting point guard win down? Obviously they were,
But you don't want to admit that. Get out of here.
They're playing without Ashworth in this game too. Get over yourself.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Well, I will welcome back all of the Jayskers going
through that existential crisis right now. I will welcome them
back with open arms when they admit to themselves that
they are just bandwagon Creyton.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Fans, Bandwagon Creighton fans, they represent Omaha. Man. Like, what
are you saying is if they were like a ten
win team, they were like ten, ten and twenty every year,
that nobody pay attention to them or care.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yes, there would be some.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
I disagree. I mean certainly there'd be some. There's some
for everybody like that. Yeah, what are you talking about.
I'm just I made my point yesterday. Yeah, I know,
and I still hate it. It's a wrong point. You're intolerant,
is what you are?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Intolerant? I am not. You're in the party of intolerance.
I am not. I am not. I'm just basking in
my huscularity. No, it's not gonna happen. We are not
letting huscularity happen, toxic husculinity. Pass it around? No, how
about you?
Speaker 3 (18:10):
You?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
How about how about you pass it around? Pass something
else around? Weird?
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Do?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I don't know what that means? So the United Football League?
Are you familiar with this place? Is this thing the
United Football League UFL? Is this a new thing? Is
this an old thing. This was a thing this year
for the first time they played in the spring spring football.
It was the merger between the XFL and the USFL,
oh which they needed to We talked about this. You know,
(18:38):
we have dumbed down the quality of football on a
pretty big level. When you have two spring outdoor football
leagues of eight teams each and you're needing like forty
five to fifty players for both of those, and then
all the indoor football leagues that are taking place around
the country, that the product goes down and there's just
(18:58):
not enough that we can actually pay attention. But when
the UFL became a thing, when they merged the USFL
and the XFL together, they had to drop some teams
to make it viable. So the teams they have right
now are in Detroit, the Michigan Panthers, Washington d C,
the DC Defenders, the Memphis Showboats, the Birmingham Stallions, the
(19:22):
Saint Louis BattleHawks, the Arlington Renegades, which are located just
outside of Dallas, the Houston Roughnecks, and the San Antonio Bramas.
Those are the A teams. Okay, well, the UFL says
we're going to expand and they want to know where
they should expand to spring football? Can I interest anyone
(19:42):
into spring football in the Omaha area? Then we do
this once. Do you remember that we did? We did
it once? Wasn't it the old UFL? Was that what
that was called? I don't think they referred to themselves
as the old UFL. Well, that would have been I mean,
it would have been a smart move, knowing that they
would have disbanded without paying their players.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Is that what happened? Yeah, they left town. They snuck
out the Omaha Nighthawks. The Nighthawks they played at the
baseball stadium. They sure did at Rosenblat. They were the
last ones at Rosenblat. They played at Rosenblat and then
they moved to tv Amritrade Park. Yeah. Maurice Clarett was
their running back? Was he? Uhhh?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
They stopped playing in the middle of the third year. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Oh when the Yeah, it was the old United Football League,
it was they calling this. It's the same league name,
just different people. This is the Rock, Dwayne the Rock
Johnson and his business partners like.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Own own that. They owned that. No, they owned this. Oh,
they owned the current UFL gotcha.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
So I don't know. Can we don't, I'll be honest.
And and the timeline of the season here looks like
they were playing this UFL in the fall.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I don't think that's a good idea. I don't like.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
But at the same time, if you're playing in the spring,
do we even have like a viable football stadium in
Omaha that we could use for this realistically? Like the
BattleHawks are playing, and like the BattleHawks are playing in
that dome that the Rams used to play and when
they were in Saint Louis, Like most of these teams
are playing, like the Michigan Panthers are playing at Ford Field,
which is not a great environment because they're not drawing
(21:16):
nearly enough people to make that thing seem full.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
But it's you know, it's it's something. You know, it
is something. We could we make the baseball stadium downtown
work in the spring? How Yeah, in the spring? It
wouldn't That wouldn't work.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
No, So I don't know. Trying to think, is there
is there a place. I mean, we got some high schools,
but that that wouldn't attract anyone. I've been trying to
figure out what to do with Crossroads for a while.
Can we knock that down and make that into a
football stadium. I think you just could play football in there.
It's probably big enough. This isn't NFL Street Matt, it'd
be cool if it was. Can you imagine would you
(21:51):
even how would you watch challenges for the field that
you play? No, it is interesting they did, like the
Arena Football League came back, was resurrected, and it had
a very tumultuous season, but it played its championship game
in a mall. They set up like the boards and
like it was somewhere like in a.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Mall, so like the announcer was like the linebacker right
out a hot topic.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Like no, we know, it was like in the big
lobby area of a mall, like a big mall.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I like to imagine the running back running through the
lobby and then just like a giant linebacker with sleeveless gloves,
sleeveless gloves, fingerless gloves, just popping out a hot topic
with a Nirvana shirt on, just nailing the guy.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Yeah, I just don't think that that's going to be
what happens. It sounds like a good MTV show from
the mid two thousands.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Ooh, starring Bam Marinera.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
No Marjera I think is his name, But yeah, no,
I'm just suggesting this is a full size, hundred yard
football field that we're going to need to find space
for with the infrastructure, and I'm just not sure Omaha
has that because there's no college football team, yeah, actively
playing here, And the only realistic stadium that might make
sense is maybe candig Leah over at UNL, but that's
(23:01):
still too small, and that grass that is pristine, they
would never let anybody other than that soccer team play
on it. So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Maybe maybe Lincoln. But do you think that with all
the renovations they have played for Memorial Stadium, that the
Lincoln Nebraska is going to have like a Nebraska based
professional spring football team. That doesn't make much sense. What
about on the Iowa side, maybe des Moines? Yeah, Like
Drake Stadium is right there in des Moines. Yeah, oh
in des Moines, Yeah, Drake Stadium that's a little ways
from here. Yeah, I don't know, I'm just thinking out
(23:31):
loud here, right. You wouldn't want to put one on
like Kansas City or anything. It's dumb to put them
in places that are already professional football teams, although they
still have plenty of them that are playing in professional football.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
You know, areas kind of makes sense, that's why they
do it, because you know they've got the infrastructure. Yeah,
but that doesn't make any sense to me, because you know,
it's like, hey, wouldn't you want to branch out into
markets that are starving for professional football? But no city
is going to be like, yeah, sure, bring the UFL here,
will tax our citizens more to build a shiny new stadium.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Oh you couldn't do that. Yeah, you couldn't do that.
All right, it's two forty eight. We'll come back. We
have more here on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Emery sung on news Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Good afternoon, Happy Thanksgiving, And I thought i'd take you
up on your open line offer. Okay, Well, when Donald
was running in twenty sixteen, he made the claim that
his tax cuts and tariffs would eliminate the national debt,
even said he would paid off the debt like it
was water. Of course, text cuts don't pay for themselves.
(24:34):
If you look up text cuts. Do text cuts pay
for themselves? You see? Not? Even the Heritage Foundation tries
to claim that. Now, this campaign was mainly based on
the claim that Biden had made everything more expensive and
Trump was going to make everything cheaper, and you said,
you believe that, and the callers said, well, you know,
we believe what Trump says. But actually the national debt
(24:56):
went it by seven point eight trillion dollars during Donald
Trump's first urn. Yeah, and half of that was before
the pandemic. Right, So that's just announced tariffs on China,
on China, new triff's on China and Canada and Mexico,
and you know there's going to be text costs, tariffs
(25:16):
devaluing the dollar, mass de quartations. Add to that most
crept government in US history. At one time, I said
he was the most prep president in US history, and
he said, well, what about Taminy Hall, Well about the
tweet of Tammany Hall was never president Hey, But.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
That all happened underneath the watch of one specific president
that obviously we need to keep in mind. Brian, I'm
not into hyperbole, and you are right that, no doubt
Donald Trump, the spending was still going on while Donald
Trump was in office in twenty sixteen to twenty twenty.
I get that these tariffs that you're mentioning in what
(25:52):
they could potentially do. I have a few thoughts on these.
So like number one, he on truth Social when he
talked about this, this is you know, how it got
out into the ether is he wants Mexico, Canada, and
China to help the United States solve their issues because
the United States is a victim of issues that are
(26:12):
not contained within their countries.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I don't know how much Canada has to do with this,
but China and fentanyl coming from China being routed through
the Mexican southern border that is getting into the United States.
Mexico is doing nothing about that, and they're also doing
nothing about trying to keep their people or penalizing their
people for trying to illegally cross the southern border. So
(26:35):
this is done, I don't think necessarily just to inhibit
the goods that are coming from these countries, but to
make these countries feel like, Okay, we better do what
this guy says, because if he doesn't, then this is
going to hurt our industry because we export a lot
of goods to the United States and he's right now
there is that thing where that's going to You would
(26:55):
think trickle down to any businesses that use goods from
Mexico or from China and they sell here in the
United States, Well, they're going to mark up their dollar
amount because they need to make a profit. And when
they do that, that's going to come right down to
the consumer. So with that being said, I can understand
how that maybe initially is going to hurt the American
(27:17):
public who are consuming those goods, but it also could
elevate the use of American goods and simulate American companies
with American products. And I think that's a good thing
because those will be cheaper products on the market because
there's no tariffs on them.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
If that makes sense, Brian, Well, I'd.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Be satisfied if you just cut prices from going up
by too much. Do you still believe he's going to
actually make things cheaper.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
I'm willing to find out, Brian.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I think the terriff idea is one that we are
we haven't seen before, and we'll see if that is
able to get resolved at some point.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
But I'm running out of time. As you can hear
Matt listening to this great music that he has put
in here for this Thanksgiving. Yeah, very homely very homely,
homye homie. Maybe maybe that's thanks homie. We'll have more
on the way. News Radio eleven to KFAB
The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He has publicly backed
in principle the ceasefire agreement with Hesbelah, that is one
of the two biggest proxy groups that Israel has been
fending off since last October. But now it's about the cabinet,
and Israel's cabinet has to approve this ceasefire, and net
(00:24):
Yahu says that they agree in principle to this idea.
So we will let you know if this is officially
this officially happens in principle, and if he also made
it very clear publicly that if Hezbolah were to violate
this agreement, this ceasefire agreement, then that's that we're back on,
(00:48):
which is probably how it should work, Let's be honest.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
AnyWho, Yeah, we will let.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
You know if that happens, because that could be an
important moment to move us into peace in the Middle East,
and we know we're unsure of what's going to happen
in the Ukraine situation.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Okay, so here's just a quick principle.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I don't want to get too overtly serious, but I
saw this video, and Matt, I need your opinion.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
There's a video of Leonardo DiCaprio.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
You know who that guy is, right, Yeah, he's in Fiji,
guessing on a trip of vacation. Maybe he's filming something there.
I don't know, but he seems to be with, you know,
like a publicist of some kind. And he is walking
through the lobby. You know how when you're in a hotel,
you walk from like the elevator to the lobby. There's
enough space there to be seen by people. Well, apparently
(01:45):
the hotel workers wanted to greet him as he was
coming down, and I'm guessing his publicist let him know
that was him. He's wearing a black hoodie, zip up jacket,
black pants like jeans or whatever. He's got sunglasses in
a black hat on, and then he pulls his phone
out and looks like he pretends to get on a
phone and then kind of keeps his head down and
(02:06):
as everybody's like cheering for him and clapping, he just
doesn't acknowledge them and walks out the door and gets
into the car that's waiting for him. What do you think,
heartless move? Reasonable move? What do you think?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Uh? I don't know. Not very nice, but I probably
would have done the same thing.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I think I probably would have done the same thing.
I mean, I don't know if I would have done
I don't know. It's tough because I mean, this guy's
what fifty, he's like fifty years old, probably now something
like that.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
He's what's his math equation? He's whatever age times two
plus fifteen that his girlfriend is aged. So I think
I think you're shooting high there. Actually, actually I just
did the math. That's illegal, So let's update the map there.
Whatever age he's okay, So if he's fifty, he just
turned fifty, okay, so I would guess probably probably divide
(02:58):
by two. I think that's number. Subtract maybe six or seven. No,
I think twenty five is the number. I think twenty
five is at the time where he cuts it off. Yeah.
Now again, I'm not going to troll somebody for a
living a lifestyle. They wont.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
If he can get a bunch of twenty five year
old's good for him. You know, he's obviously not interested
in having a partner forever, so you know.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Well, maybe he should be more interested in enjoying the fans.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, but let's you're fifty years old and he's been
in the public eye for thirty plus years, like most
of his life, like even as a kid, right, Like,
I mean he was in stuff in the early nineties.
At what point you're just tired of this. It's kind
of what you sign up for, is it dough?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah? I don't think so. He's a very private person.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Like when do you ever hear stories about Leonardo DiCaprio
except for people saying he broke up with his twenty
five year old girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
You know what goes before that one? A few times
career choice goes well with private people. What an accountant?
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Yeah, but this guy is maybe the best actor of
our lifetimes. So I'm not going to hear Leonardo DiCaprio
slander the best. He's the best. Give me one, give
me somebody you'd rather have in a movie. He gets
one bear and suddenly he becomes the best. Okay, he
got the Oscar for that, But like that's like the
sixth or seventh best movie he was in. I mean,
(04:14):
this guy can do anything. He was in He was
in coloch to the Flower Moon at the end of
last year. My wife and I wouldn't go see that
three and a half hours.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
That's a long time. No movie should be that long
did you get a bathroom break in there? No what
I told it? Yeah, I knew.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I knew it was going to be that way, and
I held it because I wasn't going to miss anything.
I intentionally didn't drink anything for like three hours leading
up to the movie. That's what the stadium caddy's for. Yeah, well,
I'm not that guy. So anyway, it was incredible. He
is the opposite of what you would expect Leonardo DiCaprio
to be. He's this ugly, stupid guy who is basically
(04:50):
taken for a ride in different way. I mean it
was crazy, man, Like that movie that that got me
thinking about some things, and he was in it. He
was the star he Titanic when he was like what
twenty three years old? Like, he was incredible in that movie.
I don't really he had the entire world falling in
love with him. What's the big whip about acting? Like, oh,
(05:11):
so you can pretend really well good for you get
a day job. I don't even know what to say
to that. I'm just saying, and that is just like
one of the worst, Like it's almost as bad as
the Jaysker take Yesterday for almost as bad. Yeah, yeah,
you could pretend really well. You know how many people
are terrible at acting that try to do it. You
know how many awful people have actually found their way
(05:33):
into movies.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
You know, I'm a great actor, but I wanted a
respectable career. Yeah. Yeah, how's that going for you? Not
so well? Yeah? Think about what we do for a living. Yeah,
I made a bad choice.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
These guys are making millions of dollars. Yeah, he gets
to pretend really well. Well, guess what, it's hard to
pretend that well, nobody does it as well as he does.
And you know what, they make millions and millions of
dollars doing that. Kind of weird if you think about it,
it's not weird if you think about it, it's it's
quite literally entertain. William Shakespeare wrote like what fifty plays
or something like that. He still talked about four hundred
(06:06):
years after he's dead.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Old Bill Shakespeare out there shaking it up. If he
was real, he is real. What are you talking about?
Are you saying that he's some conglomeration of guys of
his time? Yeah, I can't believe you. You need to
get off QAnon and start living in the real world. QAnon.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Wow, I'm just saying, Leonardo DiCaprio is a private person
who doesn't seem to have we don't know much about
him at all. For a guy that's been in the
public eye as long as he has, that's pretty darn impressive.
I'm gonna go ahead and guess that he just gets
pretty awkward when he's in situations like that where people
are like clapping for him and trying to celebrate him.
And if I was, I mean, I'm usually not like that,
(06:47):
all right, Like I would like acknowledge the crowd that's
who I am. But if he's the kind of quiet, secretive,
private person that he seems to be when he's not working,
then my best guess would be, yeah, I'd act the
exact same way. I'm awkward with this. I don't like this,
this is this is weird for me. I'm just gonna
(07:08):
power through the lobby while they're all cheering for me,
and I'm gonna get in my car and go where
I was supposed to go.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
He could have at least like waved, you know, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
You're probably right, but still I think I can get it.
Could you imagine just trying to do anything normal if
you're famous like that. He hasn't been able to do
anything normal his entire life. And yet, like you said,
you get what you sign up for at the end
of the day. Though, don't you think at some point
it'd be nice to not be fond over by so
many people, so I can just go to the grocery store,
or I can go to a football game, or I
(07:39):
can go to a movie, can go for a walk
in my neighborhood. Guys like DiCaprio, they can't do that stuff.
They can't do any of that stuff, and then we
clown on them because they're, you know, acting all elite
in their press boxes and whatnot. Well, you expect him
to be able to enjoy the game by just sitting
in the crowd. It'd be a pretty cool move. You
think they would enjoy the game at all? Probably not,
(08:01):
I'd have to see it first to know. No, No,
they wouldn't because they'd be pestered, because they'd be very
easily identified unless they showed up in a slip knot
max mask or something, in which case then I don't
think they'd know who it is.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You might get escorted out of the building. I don't know.
Anyway to eighteen you.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Got thoughts on this, you got thoughts on famous people
being seclusive or a little calloused to adulation by people,
you can give us a call. We'll open the phone
lines four O, two, five, five, eight, eleven ten. We'll
also take calls about anything. It's an open phone line Tuesday.
I don't know how we're going to make that into
an alliteration somehow, but you know you can call us
if there's something on your mind you want us to
(08:38):
talk about. Because it's a the last day of the
week for us, well we'll kind of pretend like it
is a Friday. Just have some fun getting you set
up for your holidays. Here on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Emery Sunger on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
See what is on your mind today?
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Where are you doing well? I don't think mein Ardi
Disteper he's a great an actor. Oh he's a good actor.
But if he was a great actor, he's put on
this guide and he just make a persona and he
live his life in the real world like the rest
of us, and nobody'd know if he was a real actor.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Well, I mean that is true. If you're really an actor,
you could just mess a actor your entire life.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
I mean, well, you know what are actors? Actors are
people that directors tell where to stand, how to move,
what to say, and everything else. Nothing that they do
is have their own generation to speak of.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, and I mean that's that's fair too, Steve. I
just you know, I'm the kind of guy though. You know,
first of all, you need to look a certain way.
But also second of all, if everybody was as good
as some of the like high level people in Hollywood are,
then I mean I certainly would give it a go.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I just know that I'm not as good as an actor.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
You know, we just we just went to an election
where everybody thought Kamala Harris was the worst running mate
Joe Biden can have, and then all of a sudden,
he's the greatest thing. To cite Fritt, it's all marketing.
It has nothing to do with the ability.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Mmmm.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
No, that's interesting. You got to have a good PR agency.
That is one thing that you definitely need to have.
Get yourself a good PR Hey, Steve, Okay, I appreciate
the opinion today.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Thanks for calling us.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
All right, all right, there he goes at Dana on
the on the email and Marie kfb dot com. Both
Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise better thoughts.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I think we could even well, I don't know, yeah,
I could probably come up with some more. I don't know.
I mean Tom Hanks is pretty good. Yeah, he's had
some huge movies. Tom Cruise. I think Tom Cruise gets
much maligned for, you know, the whole scientology thing. He's
obviously a good actor. Yeah. His his thing that he
did in that movie Tropical Thunder, Tropic Thunder, Tropic Thunder.
(10:47):
You know that that that that that that shows his
range right there. The he played that silly character that
had the big sausage finkers, remember that, like giant hands.
Oh yeah yeah, Les Grossman. Yeah, he was and kind
of a chubby belly and he had like those giant hands. Yeah,
that's range.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
But he's not like that movie was supposed to be funny,
and you know it was. Leonardo DiCaprio hasn't done like
a traditional comedy.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Leonardo DiCaprio is pretty good. He's a serious guy.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
The thing with Hanks, there are some movies that Hanks
does that you're just kind of like, eh, are we
sure Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks has made an entire living
on like eight years of his career, like his nineteen
ninety two to two thousand, it's pretty untouchable. Like it's
hard to imagine anybody else having an eight year run
(11:40):
like that, multiple Best Actors at the Oscars, multiple movies
that he started in that were up for Best Picture,
like every year he was in the biggest movies, and
it's hard to argue with that. I'm just saying, like,
if I want a guy. And by the way, Tom
Hanks and Leo are both in Catch Me if you Can,
which is actually turning into one of my face favorite
movies on rewatch. Have you seen that lately.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
It's been a handful of years, but I've seen it
a couple times and every time I really enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
You need to watch it again, even because it's so
well written and you want to know something, it's not
just about the roles, but Leo steals the movie. Leonardo
DiCaprio was the star of that movie. And Tom Hanks
coming off of the best eight year run maybe of
in movie history for an actor in terms of what
he was in and what he won.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
It's hard.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
It's hard to argue that Leonardo DiCaprio isn't better as
an actor based on that movie alone.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
You know who's listed as the number one actor of
all time on IMDb.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
It's just like the star ratings that they have at
the top, like out of ten that they rate these
people on.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
This is a list that came out on this website
from twelve years ago, so it's a little outdated. Top
one hundred greatest Actors of all time. So somebody wrote
this from twelve years ago. Yeah, so really, it's just
this one guy's opinion.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
One guy's opinion from twelve years ago. He says, Jack Nicholson,
he's fine, Yeah, he's good.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah. Is DiCaprio even on there?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
He hasn't even like half of his catalog hasn't even
included it in this if? Like, but did he still
make this guy's list or do you stick with like
the Frank Capras of the world.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
He's not in the top ten. I tell you who
is in the top ten that I agree with, Paul Newman,
there's another good guy. This is classic stuff though, this
is still like no modern people. He me, yeah, he's
not even in the Let me see, is he in
the top twenty? Not even in the top twenty. He's
got Jeff Bridges. Oh, Jeff Bridges. I thought that was
Jeff Daniels. Jeff Bridges is in the top twenty best.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
I'm gonna ask chat Gbt, what do you think, chat Gibt,
You'll say.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Can you do it? In the form of a roast?
Who are the best actors in Hollywood? It's twenty eight
on this list.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Leonardo DiCaprio's ever eight, twenty eight without half of his catalog.
All right, so Chatchibt is fired off a list here
and he's giving me all these things. Number one, Marlon Brando,
number two, Roberts and Neil who was also Robert de
Niro has been in you know, multiple big things, but
most notably with Leo was in Killers of the Flower
(14:09):
Moon last year. Robert de Niro and Leo on the
screen together. It was it was magic. With Martin Scorsese
is the director. It was fantastic. That's a whole lot
of Italians in one room. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Meryl Streep.
I didn't ask for actresses. Meryl Streep, Al Pacino, Daniel
Day Lewis. I hear people who are really into the
(14:29):
to the art of acting, say Daniel Day Lewis is
kind of the guy.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
He's the method actor.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah, Humphrey bogart Man, that's that's thrown it back, Jack Nicholson,
Kate Winslet, Morgan Freeman, Audrey Hepburn, and then at eleven
they have Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet ahead of DiCaprio. Here
chat GPT, get a grip.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
She was great in that one thing. She was great
in a lot of things. Actually, I do like her
a lot.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
She's she's actually was in the Notebook, right, No, that's
Rachel mccadams. Oh, Kate Winsley was in the Holiday but
more note I believe was in Titanic with Leonardo DiCaprio, right,
and it was awesome, like she held her own with
him every step of the way and she was like,
what nineteen or twenty when they filmed that, so like
very good. James Stewart was twelve. James Stewart, Jimmy Stewart,
(15:15):
Jeremy Stewart. It's a wonderful life guy.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Clint Eastwood was thirteen, and then Tom Hanks comes in
at fourteen. Me, I don't know, I don't know chat
GBT and kind of let me down on that one.
No Tom Cruise to speak of on that.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
List, for whatever it's worth.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Great movie star, not so sure he's a great actor.
But again, to each their own. And you know what,
if I was super tooper famous, I'd probably be ducking
out of people's consciousness as much as they could anyway.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
You know, I don't know, just my thoughts.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
It's two twenty nine, all right, when we come back,
some other things that we need to get to today,
and your phone lines are open. So four h two
five five eight eleven ten. Four h two five five
eight to eleven ten is that phone number, and we
will talk to you next. Could you see Omaha trying
to get another professional sports team. I'll give you a
couple of options that could be out there here on
news radio eleven toon kfab.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Oh, Maurice Songer on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I'm not laughing.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
You are You're you were laughing you and I was
chuckling a little bit. Yeah, you're elitism. You're elitism, medhism.
Come on, man, come on, elitism. Yeah, elitism. I'm just
basking in my husculinity. That's what I'm doing. That's not
going to be a thing. I'm making it, trying to
make it a thing I need. Husculinity isn't a Thingrechen,
It's never going to be a thing. Stop trying to
(16:30):
make husculinity happen.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I'm that obnoxious kid at lunch, you know that just
keep saying that thing that they want to make the thing,
but it's not catching on.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah, it's the Gretchen Wieners and mean girls trying to
make fetch happen.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Right. Husculinity though, pass it on. We need to bask
in our husculinity right now. Look, we just got the
Bowl eligibility. We just smacked her on Creighton life is good.
Oh my I can make I was making off air
the Creighton women. The Creighton women, by the way, defeated
the ranks Nebraska. Yeah, a ranked Nebraska team that was
hobbled because of a significant injury.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And Creighton's man's basketball team. Was it when Steven Ashwartz,
a long time starting point guard win down? Obviously they were,
But you don't want to admit that. Get out of here.
They're playing without Ashworth in this game too. Get over yourself.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Well, I will welcome back all of the Jayskers going
through that existential crisis right now. I will welcome them
back with open arms when they admit to themselves that
they are just bandwagon Creyton.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Fans, Bandwagon Creighton fans, they represent Omaha. Man. Like, what
are you saying is if they were like a ten
win team, they were like ten, ten and twenty every year,
that nobody pay attention to them or care.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yes, there would be some.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
I disagree. I mean certainly there'd be some. There's some
for everybody like that. Yeah, what are you talking about.
I'm just I made my point yesterday. Yeah, I know,
and I still hate it. It's a wrong point. You're intolerant,
is what you are?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Intolerant? I am not. You're in the party of intolerance.
I am not. I am not. I'm just basking in
my huscularity. No, it's not gonna happen. We are not
letting huscularity happen, toxic husculinity. Pass it around? No, how
about you?
Speaker 3 (18:10):
You?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
How about how about you pass it around? Pass something
else around? Weird?
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Do?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I don't know what that means? So the United Football League?
Are you familiar with this place? Is this thing the
United Football League UFL? Is this a new thing? Is
this an old thing. This was a thing this year
for the first time they played in the spring spring football.
It was the merger between the XFL and the USFL,
oh which they needed to We talked about this. You know,
(18:38):
we have dumbed down the quality of football on a
pretty big level. When you have two spring outdoor football
leagues of eight teams each and you're needing like forty
five to fifty players for both of those, and then
all the indoor football leagues that are taking place around
the country, that the product goes down and there's just
(18:58):
not enough that we can actually pay attention. But when
the UFL became a thing, when they merged the USFL
and the XFL together, they had to drop some teams
to make it viable. So the teams they have right
now are in Detroit, the Michigan Panthers, Washington d C,
the DC Defenders, the Memphis Showboats, the Birmingham Stallions, the
(19:22):
Saint Louis BattleHawks, the Arlington Renegades, which are located just
outside of Dallas, the Houston Roughnecks, and the San Antonio Bramas.
Those are the A teams. Okay, well, the UFL says
we're going to expand and they want to know where
they should expand to spring football? Can I interest anyone
(19:42):
into spring football in the Omaha area? Then we do
this once. Do you remember that we did? We did
it once? Wasn't it the old UFL? Was that what
that was called? I don't think they referred to themselves
as the old UFL. Well, that would have been I mean,
it would have been a smart move, knowing that they
would have disbanded without paying their players.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Is that what happened? Yeah, they left town. They snuck
out the Omaha Nighthawks. The Nighthawks they played at the
baseball stadium. They sure did at Rosenblat. They were the
last ones at Rosenblat. They played at Rosenblat and then
they moved to tv Amritrade Park. Yeah. Maurice Clarett was
their running back? Was he? Uhhh?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
They stopped playing in the middle of the third year. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Oh when the Yeah, it was the old United Football League,
it was they calling this. It's the same league name,
just different people. This is the Rock, Dwayne the Rock
Johnson and his business partners like.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Own own that. They owned that. No, they owned this. Oh,
they owned the current UFL gotcha.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
So I don't know. Can we don't, I'll be honest.
And and the timeline of the season here looks like
they were playing this UFL in the fall.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I don't think that's a good idea. I don't like.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
But at the same time, if you're playing in the spring,
do we even have like a viable football stadium in
Omaha that we could use for this realistically? Like the
BattleHawks are playing, and like the BattleHawks are playing in
that dome that the Rams used to play and when
they were in Saint Louis, Like most of these teams
are playing, like the Michigan Panthers are playing at Ford Field,
which is not a great environment because they're not drawing
(21:16):
nearly enough people to make that thing seem full.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
But it's you know, it's it's something. You know, it
is something. We could we make the baseball stadium downtown
work in the spring? How Yeah, in the spring? It
wouldn't That wouldn't work.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
No, So I don't know. Trying to think, is there
is there a place. I mean, we got some high schools,
but that that wouldn't attract anyone. I've been trying to
figure out what to do with Crossroads for a while.
Can we knock that down and make that into a
football stadium. I think you just could play football in there.
It's probably big enough. This isn't NFL Street Matt, it'd
be cool if it was. Can you imagine would you
(21:51):
even how would you watch challenges for the field that
you play? No, it is interesting they did, like the
Arena Football League came back, was resurrected, and it had
a very tumultuous season, but it played its championship game
in a mall. They set up like the boards and
like it was somewhere like in a.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Mall, so like the announcer was like the linebacker right
out a hot topic.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Like no, we know, it was like in the big
lobby area of a mall, like a big mall.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I like to imagine the running back running through the
lobby and then just like a giant linebacker with sleeveless gloves,
sleeveless gloves, fingerless gloves, just popping out a hot topic
with a Nirvana shirt on, just nailing the guy.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Yeah, I just don't think that that's going to be
what happens. It sounds like a good MTV show from
the mid two thousands.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Ooh, starring Bam Marinera.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
No Marjera I think is his name, But yeah, no,
I'm just suggesting this is a full size, hundred yard
football field that we're going to need to find space
for with the infrastructure, and I'm just not sure Omaha
has that because there's no college football team, yeah, actively
playing here, And the only realistic stadium that might make
sense is maybe candig Leah over at UNL, but that's
(23:01):
still too small, and that grass that is pristine, they
would never let anybody other than that soccer team play
on it. So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Maybe maybe Lincoln. But do you think that with all
the renovations they have played for Memorial Stadium, that the
Lincoln Nebraska is going to have like a Nebraska based
professional spring football team. That doesn't make much sense. What
about on the Iowa side, maybe des Moines? Yeah, Like
Drake Stadium is right there in des Moines. Yeah, oh
in des Moines, Yeah, Drake Stadium that's a little ways
from here. Yeah, I don't know, I'm just thinking out
(23:31):
loud here, right. You wouldn't want to put one on
like Kansas City or anything. It's dumb to put them
in places that are already professional football teams, although they
still have plenty of them that are playing in professional football.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
You know, areas kind of makes sense, that's why they
do it, because you know they've got the infrastructure. Yeah,
but that doesn't make any sense to me, because you know,
it's like, hey, wouldn't you want to branch out into
markets that are starving for professional football? But no city
is going to be like, yeah, sure, bring the UFL here,
will tax our citizens more to build a shiny new stadium.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Oh you couldn't do that. Yeah, you couldn't do that.
All right, it's two forty eight. We'll come back. We
have more here on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Emery sung on news Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Good afternoon, Happy Thanksgiving, And I thought i'd take you
up on your open line offer. Okay, Well, when Donald
was running in twenty sixteen, he made the claim that
his tax cuts and tariffs would eliminate the national debt,
even said he would paid off the debt like it
was water. Of course, text cuts don't pay for themselves.
(24:34):
If you look up text cuts. Do text cuts pay
for themselves? You see? Not? Even the Heritage Foundation tries
to claim that. Now, this campaign was mainly based on
the claim that Biden had made everything more expensive and
Trump was going to make everything cheaper, and you said,
you believe that, and the callers said, well, you know,
we believe what Trump says. But actually the national debt
(24:56):
went it by seven point eight trillion dollars during Donald
Trump's first urn. Yeah, and half of that was before
the pandemic. Right, So that's just announced tariffs on China,
on China, new triff's on China and Canada and Mexico,
and you know there's going to be text costs, tariffs
(25:16):
devaluing the dollar, mass de quartations. Add to that most
crept government in US history. At one time, I said
he was the most prep president in US history, and
he said, well, what about Taminy Hall, Well about the
tweet of Tammany Hall was never president Hey, But.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
That all happened underneath the watch of one specific president
that obviously we need to keep in mind. Brian, I'm
not into hyperbole, and you are right that, no doubt
Donald Trump, the spending was still going on while Donald
Trump was in office in twenty sixteen to twenty twenty.
I get that these tariffs that you're mentioning in what
(25:52):
they could potentially do. I have a few thoughts on these.
So like number one, he on truth Social when he
talked about this, this is you know, how it got
out into the ether is he wants Mexico, Canada, and
China to help the United States solve their issues because
the United States is a victim of issues that are
(26:12):
not contained within their countries.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I don't know how much Canada has to do with this,
but China and fentanyl coming from China being routed through
the Mexican southern border that is getting into the United States.
Mexico is doing nothing about that, and they're also doing
nothing about trying to keep their people or penalizing their
people for trying to illegally cross the southern border. So
(26:35):
this is done, I don't think necessarily just to inhibit
the goods that are coming from these countries, but to
make these countries feel like, Okay, we better do what
this guy says, because if he doesn't, then this is
going to hurt our industry because we export a lot
of goods to the United States and he's right now
there is that thing where that's going to You would
(26:55):
think trickle down to any businesses that use goods from
Mexico or from China and they sell here in the
United States, Well, they're going to mark up their dollar
amount because they need to make a profit. And when
they do that, that's going to come right down to
the consumer. So with that being said, I can understand
how that maybe initially is going to hurt the American
(27:17):
public who are consuming those goods, but it also could
elevate the use of American goods and simulate American companies
with American products. And I think that's a good thing
because those will be cheaper products on the market because
there's no tariffs on them.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
If that makes sense, Brian, Well, I'd.
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Be satisfied if you just cut prices from going up
by too much. Do you still believe he's going to
actually make things cheaper.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
I'm willing to find out, Brian.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I think the terriff idea is one that we are
we haven't seen before, and we'll see if that is
able to get resolved at some point.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
But I'm running out of time. As you can hear
Matt listening to this great music that he has put
in here for this Thanksgiving. Yeah, very homely very homely,
homye homie. Maybe maybe that's thanks homie. We'll have more
on the way. News Radio eleven to KFAB
