Jim Halpert : [Jim sits at his desk, dressed like Dwight] Question, what kind of bear is best?
Dwight Schrute : That's a ridiculous question.
Jim Halpert : False. Black bear.
Dwight Schrute : Well, that's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought.
Jim Halpert : Fact, bears eat beets. Bears, beets, "Battlestar Galactica."
Dwight Schrute : Bears do not... What is going on? What are you doing?
Jim Halpert : [in confessional] Last week, I was in a drugstore, and I saw these glasses. Four dollars. And it only cost me $7 to recreate the rest of the ensemble, and that is a grand total of $11.
Dwight Schrute : [Back at their desks] You know what? Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. So I thank you.
[Jim takes a bobblehead doll out of his suitcase and sets it on his desk]
Dwight Schrute : Identity theft is not a joke, Jim! Millions of families suffer every year!
Jim Halpert : [imitating Dwight] Michael!
Dwight Schrute : Oh, that's funny. Michael!
Dwight Schrute : That's a ridiculous question.

(00:00):
I don't know a lot of theplaces that these people are referencing yet,
Omaha is a big place. Butman, I'm getting a kick at a
looking at these cars that are eithersideways or perpendicular to like the parking spots,
and people in their comments either defendingsome of these people or telling them
(00:21):
that all the other is about asbad as it gets. And one of
the real things that seems to bea pretty regular occurrence here is that these
are large trucks. There are alot of large trucks that are either on
curbs or across lines, either infront of them or next to them,
and I need people who drive bigtrucks to defend themselves. Not that we're
(00:45):
accusatory, but you know, we'rejust kind of we're talking about why big
trucks seem to be on this pagemore than other vehicles. And I've opened
the phone lines four oh two fiveto five eight eleven ten. Is the
number four oh two five five eighteleven ten. We got Steve on the
line. Hello, Steve, thanksfor me a part of our show today.
Can you explain what I'm talking abouthere to me? Yeah, there's
a scene I I I'm doing itright Now, there's a couple of things
(01:11):
from your depiction of the portrait thatyou look at. Number One, he's
probably got a pretty decent truck andhe like to keep it nice. Okay,
so you avoids as much as hecan being in conflict with other drivers
who drive cars and stuff like that. The other thing is, you know,
they are large, they take upmore room. I mean, that's
(01:33):
obvious, you know, but whenthey park sideways on the line, they're
really trying to provide themselves a wayout because it's so hard to drive them,
you know what I mean. Sure, Well, I guess my response
scene is to that would be whywouldn't you just park further away where there
(01:53):
are less cars? You know.It's just that's the men I love you
of some of these truckers. Theywant to keep an eye on their truck
because they got literally uh ten thethousands of dollars wrapped up in them most
times. Ah and uh so that'sthat's one reason why they want to be
able to live all that truck makesure nothing happens to tetru People don't understand
(02:19):
that because that's totally our ole.Yeah, you know, sure, okay,
Well I appreciate the perspective here seeingand uh, there's easier things I
haven't thought about. I've never oncebeen like I better see my car when
I'm inside. But then again,I just I don't feel like I don't
feel that way about my car,I suppose, so I appreciate it.
(02:40):
Seeing takes to the call. Youbet, thank you. Let's go to
Delana Delane's on our phone line offour or two, five, five,
eight eleven ten. Hello Delana?What do you have on your mind today?
Okay? Well, I come froma family of big trucks. Okay,
and kind of tacking on with theguy before said I need a big
truck because I have a lot ofstuff and kids. So I these little
(03:02):
cars and parking spaces have gotten smalleras cars have gotten smaller. Okay,
So it used to be when allthe cars were big, the parking spaces
were big, it wasn't a problem. But now parking space has gotten smaller.
And I don't know if you've evertried to hurt five kids through a
parking lot. But I'm not parkingin the South forty and hurting five kids
(03:22):
into the store. Ah yeah,yeah, I know that makes sense.
I need to fit five kids ina month with the groceries in that car,
These little cars ain't gonna happen.Sure, Okay, well that makes
sense. Okay, So from yourperspective, like, okay, let me
let me uh, let me illustratea scenario for you, Delenna, because
it sounds like you need a lotof space to operate with the what you
(03:43):
have. Now. I let's sayyou're trying to fit into like, uh,
the grocery stores hoppen today and therethere's a ton of full spots in
for you anywhere near the store.There's only like one spot that you see
open, but it's one of theselarger that actually is like somewhat crooked and
their back wheel is like on theline, and you're not sure you can
(04:08):
fit in there accurately. Does thatmake you angry or do you understand,
h he's just got a big truck. It's hard for him to get in
and out of there. I understandbecause I'd be the same way. I
don't go in someplace unless I thinkI can get in and out, and
I've hugged the line many a time. Interesting. Okay, well, Delane,
I appreciate this perspective because obviously it'ssomething that we don't have here in
(04:29):
this studio because we don't drive thebig truck. So thank you so much
for calling in and explaining to ustoday. Okay, let's got to Tony.
Tony, you're with Emory on newsradio eleven to ten kfa B.
What do you got on your mind? Yeah, thanks for taking my call.
I actually drive a semi for aliving all day long, and I'll
tell you people are just out andout rude and disrespectful and they don't think
(04:56):
about others. And I would haveto say, with the gallat call earlier
about the not having enough space inthe parking lots to painted lines, that's
a big issue. Okay. So, so Tony, you say people aren't
respectful, can you illustrate like ascenario for me, Like you're behind the
wheel of a big truck, right, Like, are we talking eighteen wheelers?
(05:17):
Yep, yep? Okay, Soyou got I mean, your this
is your job, your livelihood isat stake. You are driving around trying
to make sure that this truck getswhere it needs to go for the goods
of society, and you're trying tomake make money doing that. Can you
give me a scenario that really wouldirk you make you about as angry as
you could be behind the wheel.Well, for instance, taking up your
(05:41):
stopping distance when you're coming up tostop lights. They don't realize that we're
running. We got basically a freighttrain on wheels, and they don't understand
that an engine to transmission these trucksa weigh as much as a car.
But they'll but they'll literally take upyour stopping distance, cut you off this
finger, you know, And that'sjust that's just driving the big trucks.
(06:03):
The pickup issue, you know,guys with the white tires, you know,
they need to think about that.Okay, I put real white tires
on my truck. Now I'm goingto have an issue getting into a bank,
drive through the parking in a parkinglot somewhere. They need to think
about that, and they need tobe respectful of other people. Period.
Well, Tony, the reason Ithink that you're a really interesting person to
(06:26):
talk about here is because you guysare really the king of the road.
Now, I say that in away that obviously there are a lot of
people. They don't like you anddon't like you, know, they don't
like it when the two semis onthe highway, get close to each other
and have a hard time passing eachother going up a hill or something.
They get mad at you guys forjust trying to do your job out there.
And I find it interesting that you'reseeing like these other big trucks and
(06:48):
the disrespectfulness on the road of thesepeople not realizing that it's harder for you
to stop. It's harder for youto turn. What would you tell people
next time they're out on the roadand they see a big truck and and
they're trying to maneuver either around ornext to a big truck, what would
you say that they need to thinkabout so maybe they think twice before they
start acting disrespectful on the road nextto you. Well, for instance,
(07:11):
if you're following a semi down tothe interstate, if you can't see his
mirrors, he can't see you.And if he's got to stop all of
a sudden, guess what, you'reall over the top of him and you're
dead. Okay, when you whenyou're coming up alongside of a truck,
don't hang next to him because thatright front corner is a blind spot.
(07:32):
Can't see you. And if heif he lan, you're in trouble when
you when you are alongside of atruck, get around him as fast as
possible, leave him lots of theroom, let him know that you see
him, so he can also seeyou. And a lot of the factor
(07:53):
it's the speed issue, Emery.There's you know, there's people out here.
You know the speed limit five milean hour, which I think is
way too fast. Wait, youand people run seventy seventy five mile an
hour's account, And that's that's abig reason why we have accidents every single
day. And it's and it's reallyit's stupidities. Speed and space. If
(08:16):
people can remember speed and space,slow your speed down, adjust your space
accordingly. We have a five secondrule with the trucks. Basically it's three
hundred feet. People should actually useuse the second rule. When you're passing
an object, count three seconds.If you pass it, then you're following
(08:39):
distance is proper. But you know, the cell phones, and I could
go on and on and on,and it's just it's become a real,
real problem. But my my biggestthing I think is people are just they're
in a big hurry. They gotno respect the entitlement. They think that
they're the only ones on the roadfor the only ones that matter. If
(09:01):
you're running laid for work, welldon't try to make up for it with
driving fast, because that's just goingto get you in an accident or you're
gonna hurt somebody. Plan ahead,leave a little bit earlier, take your
time, and stay off the phone. You know, if we get caught
on the telephone, it's a twentyfive hundred dollars fine for the driver and
(09:24):
it's a ten thousand dollars fine tothe carrier. So the guy that I
worked for, it costs you tenthousand dollars for me to get caught on
a telephone. Now, if theywould implement these laws to the general public,
it would slow down all of thenightmare plus every time somebody gets to
an accident. The insurance companies,they got to take care of these issues.
(09:48):
They got to pay out these claims, and then guess whose rates get
increased. Everybody else is out here, dang tony. I love the passion
here. Man. Thanks for callingin and letting us know, and hopefully
we change some and changing some perspectivestoday. You bet your brother. All
right, Hey, I'm sure there'speople out there that want to respond to
that, and we got the phonelines absolutely full. Right now, we're
(10:09):
gonna come back and take all yourcalls. Call us at four h two
five five eight eleven ten. Wewant you to tell us about your experience
with big trucks, whether it's aneighteen wheeler or you know one of those
six wheel diesel guys, or youknow even just a big f one fifty
who's just bullying people out there onthe roads. You can call us a
four h two five five eight eleventen. We'll talk to you next on
(10:30):
news Radio eleven ten KFA B.I'm Andry Soldier. Oh it's you as
Radio eleven p f E E.Tom. Thanks for calling in today.
(10:58):
What do you think about all this? Well, my comment has not so
much to do with trucks, hasparking lots in general. I'm sixty five
years old, but one thing I'venoticed more and more in the last twenty
years is parking lots are designed withparking spaces where you have to pull in
at a ninety degree angle rather thana diagonal, which makes it more difficult
(11:20):
for any vehicle. And I justdon't understand why parking lots are designed that
way Nowadays, well, and Ithink that's something nobody talks about, right,
Tom is just like, hey,you know, maybe if we angled
some of these things, it'd bea little easier for people to get in
and out of. I think that'sa really relevant conversation to this whole thing.
Also, just you know, thewidth of these you know, right,
(11:41):
Like it's not just tough to parkninety degrees, but it's also like
the width seems to be like gettingsmaller and smaller as we go along.
Appreciate the call, Tom, Let'sgo to Dale Dale, Raise Hail prais
Dale. What's going on? Man? Hey, I like to take you
back on top of what Tony said. If you were to put three suburbans
(12:05):
back to back to back all theroad about sixty five feet or so,
and that's about the light that whata truck is, and they need to
piny a lot about five suburbans ontop of each other. That's the mass
in which we are driving. That'sthe total weight and mad so if you
figure fifteen suburbans driving down the road, that's what we weigh. And a
(12:31):
lot of people don't realize this,and that five second role we leave a
big space in front of us.It's not for someone's convenience to get going
to where they need to go quicker, and so that I don't make a
paycake out of you. Sure.And so my biggest fear of being a
truck driver is the fact that someonedoes something stupid in front of me and
(12:54):
I don't have any recourse of doinganything other than doing my best not to
kill them. And if the worstcase scenario is then I got to live
with that back, that that stupididiot out there is no longer breathing the
air in which we all enjoy.And it's for the four wheelers, that's
(13:16):
what we call the cars and thepickups. The four wheelers, the ones
that have the big tires and thebig wheels and the tall trucks, well
they're just compensated for something that's smalleron their anatomy. So that's why they
have the big stuff. The parkinglots are getting smaller, the spaces are
(13:39):
getting smaller and smaller. They getmore and more cars in there. They
don't take in regards of the biggervehicles. And for the bigger vehicles that
have trouble in the spaces, there'snothing wrong with parking on the end of
the parking lot, but there's noone parking so that, Hey, you
don't get a dent in your door? Sure being you know, front of
(14:00):
day someone else's store, right,And I think a lot less people will
complain when you're back there. Dan, This is all good stuff. I
appreciate you calling in man. Theuh, the the the compensation argument brought
up by Dale Dale Ricky's on ourphone line A four two five five eight
eleven ten. Hello, Ricky,got something to say about all this?
(14:24):
Hello Ricky Recky? Are you thereall right? No, Ricky, Uh,
Let's go to Mike. Mike's onthe phone line of four two five
five eight to eleven ten. Hello, Mike, what do you got Hey,
I'm actually in Omaha, Nebraska,and you're talking about the parks on
(14:45):
it like in one part of townwhere Heidi exempts. In one part of
town, they have everything angled andwhy it and they have all the handicapped
in the first two rows in frontof it, so it makes it easier.
The thing is is that with thespots are white white inside, but
if you go further away from thestore, they're even bigger. So I
(15:07):
mean, it's really simple when yougo and learn, and you know,
I drive in that one fifty,you know, so I know exactly what
I need to do. I don'tgo in the small spots, you know,
and if you and I just gochortling with it. So my thing
is is the spots are wider,Like you guys said before, the spots
are wider, and there's more ofthem, or I say, there are
less of them. So everyone wantsto cram in and go across and have
(15:28):
the white line in the middle oftheir car. So this is a lot
of basket So, I mean,I've seen it firsthand every day, every
day. So I just wanted to, you know, put my two cents
in. And I mean the semis, I mean in the in the hyde
in Walmart lots, it doesn't work. It bogs everything down. I know.
I know they need to drive somewhereand park somewhere, but I mean
(15:54):
Walmart parking lots aren't built for semis. So I just think there should be
a part of the lot at thesebig stores, so semi catching park there
and then you know that they don'thave to cut and down knop or you
know or whatnot. Ah, Allright, Mike, can I ask you
a question about your your truck.Yeah do you okay? So like do
you haul stuff with that or doyou just like driving the truck around?
(16:15):
Like what was the purpose of buyingthe truck. I'm honestly, very very
uh interested. Okay. I hada truck that had a smaller bed on
it. This is on Scott reasonwhy. And when I got a bigger
truck all my friends who are moving, obviously a truck is needed, and
I bought the extra bed or alonger bed another uh, it's like a
(16:36):
foot longer. So then if youput a mattress in the back of the
truck, it fit's flat inside thetruck and it's not coming over the tailgate.
So that was the reason why.Uh, just for me, I
like trucks. I don't like cars. No offense, but uh I feel
safe for in the truck in thecar. But I mean that's it.
So I mean, that's just right, you know, as soon as go
ahead. I'm sorry. Well,it's just like you know, most of
(16:57):
the guys that buy a truck,they say, hey, if you buy
a truck, be ready to loseall your weekends because all your friends are
going to be asking you to borrowit. Or have you drive the some
stuff around? Is that your life? Mike? Yeah, yeah. I'm
a disabled event so I don't work, but everyone says I don't work.
You got a truck? Please helpme out. You know who your president,
(17:17):
You know who your president family arewhen it comes to that. That's
funny. Well, Mike, Iappreciate, first of all, thanks for
your service to our country, butalso thanks for calling in and taking part
in our conversation today. That's funny, all right. Well, if you
got some trucking thoughts or thoughts aboutpeople parking like bleepholes out there, you
can call us at four oh two, five five, eight, eleven ten.
(17:37):
There's a lot of emails in here. I'm gonna sift through some of
them. Some people have some thingsto say about the old trucks and about
people parking like bleep poles. I'lltell you about that next on news radio
eleven ten. Kfab Emery Songa onnews radio eleven ten. OK. Fab,
I see that they're trying to takeaway the Second Amendment on us.
(18:03):
You know, ah ha ha,the right to bear arms, the right
to bear arms. The right tobear arms, I believe is actually the
proper emphasis and we all do havea right to bear arms. I prefer
grizzly Oh come on, we allknow that a grizzly bear is incredibly violent,
(18:26):
would never allow one of its beararms to go away. But that's
the one I want make it happen. What if you can power rank the
bears though, the grizzly bear,that's probably number one. I like the
sun bear. Polar bear has gotsomething to say about that. Yeah,
but the polar bear is he notclimate like? He needs kind of a
(18:49):
specific spot on planet Earth to reallybe in his peak. I mean,
they can survive in warm weather.The activist I want to tell you that
they can survive in warm weather.They have no problem with that. But
they're at their peak, like they'rehunting peak when they're on their home field,
if you know what I mean.I feel like a grizzly bear,
(19:10):
you could just kind of you canmove him wherever he's gonna be, all
right. Their camo doesn't work aswell without the snow. There you go.
Yeah, that's where you get thosepenguins jumping right into their mouths.
Almost they didn't even see him there. Yeah, gosh, I like sun
bears because they look weird, notbecause they're like the best kind of bear.
(19:32):
They're the smallest bear. In fact, they get mulled by any other
kind of bear. Probably man DwightShrewt would love this convo. By the
way, which bear is best?Well, we're trying to figure that out,
Dwight. Keep listening. Also,there's a lot of satire out here
about court storming solutions. How aboutthis one? And this is a meme.
I don't on anybody thinks that thisis real. But they took like
a graphic court storming solutions, perESPN's Seth Greenberg, and people are like
(19:57):
kind of like wiping out in arace, what was there? And like
putting their own things, immediate cancelationof the season, loss of you as
a citizenship, if applicable. Aone billion school find for this court storming
and court stormers deported at Guantanamo Bay. Nah, hear me out. Maybe
(20:18):
if we called them court insurrections,people would take them a little bit more
seriously. Here's another one. Allcourt stormers will be required to attend one
Atlantic ten basketball game. Double rimsto be installed for the next two home
(20:42):
games on only storming teams RAM.You know those double rims that they have
at like the park that have nogive whatsoever. You hit the ram and
it just like bounds down. Yeah, and university president will be execute right
there on the half court. Look. Wow, that escalated quickly. Sheesh.
(21:07):
I love people. This is whyI'm on social media. This is
why I'm on social media. Oh, this is funny. I love it
all right. So we were talkingabout the you park like a bleephole Omaha
Nebraska facebook page, and we hada lot of conversation for people who drive
trucks or uh, people who havea problem with people who drive trucks,
(21:30):
and I got I have emails here. I wanted to read, have you
heard of a dually? Is howyou say this? D u A L
L Y dually? All right?Is that how you say that? Is
that? Like? Uh? Isthat like a what's that thing in the
shower? Now? That's a that'sa loofah lufah. Do some people call
(21:52):
them dualies? Do they? No? I don't think So that's just what
I was thinking. I use asponge show and so that little out of
my jurisdiction. I use neither washcloth. No, I ain't gonna say now
because it's probably weird. No,let's hear it. No, keep going
a conch shell? A conch shell? How'd you know? No, I've
been using the same puka shell necklace. No, none of that is clean
(22:18):
your skin. No, seriously,what do you use? There's no middleman
for me. Oh, use yourhands. Yeah, no, that's the
cleanliest way to do it. Yeah. Well, I guess you're not gonna
get a lot of germ build up, right, which is why they tell
you every few months you need tobe replacing your sponge or your loofah because
(22:40):
you can get some bacteria build upin there. Right. So yeah,
no judgment for me. Thanks.Uh. Jamie emails it and says,
I've never heard of someone describe aduly as anything other than a Duley.
I never heard someone close say asix wheel truck? Is it? It
is? Matt, I'm telling you, I am honest when I'm honest.
Wait, I'm always honest. That'swhat I meant to say. I'm always
(23:03):
honest. I'm not gonna pretend likeI know what trucks are called. Apparently
those six wheel duly or the sixwheel diesel trucks, they're called Duley's.
Okay, is that is that athing? I don't know. I guess
it is, but I didn't knoweither. Well, Jamie said, Anyway,
if I'm driving a Duly for anyhauling reason and I don't have the
trailer attached, I just park furtheraway from whatever structure I'm going to.
(23:26):
And we were referring to a specificsix wheel truck that was on the curb
at what looked like to be anApplebee's, right. M hm. Well,
well, Jamie says, since Applebeeseems to always be close to a
Walmart, I would just park inthe Walmart parking lot. Except there's never
a good reason to go to anApplebee's. Oh, Jamie let her app
(23:48):
Rob emails in and says, Ihave an F two fifty extended cab long
box with a plow on the frontand a sand spread er on the back.
It's not a Duly. There areplenty of times where I've had to
take up two parking spots, onein front of the other. I do
that farther away from my building thancloser. Yeah. Well, at least
(24:10):
we know he's working with his truck. Arnie. Yes, Arnie, he
says, a dually pickup has thetwo rear tires together in the rear.
If he parks regular, the rearfender sticks out into traffic. The safer
way is actually to have the tiresup on the curb. Does that change
(24:33):
your opinion on this? Are wein support of the guy that parks his
six wheel truck next to the restaurantand has the wheels on the side or
are we just kind of like manpark further away from the from the restaurant.
Yeah, find a spot in theback. Yeah. But then then
we have the guy that called inand said he was a They want to
see their truck, They want tomake sure nobody takes their truck. Maybe
(24:56):
that's part of the reason. Butthen we need to sit them down and
talk about how word they about stuffthat's silly. Yeah, I mean,
what is it the catalytic converter?Do they even make those in cars anymore?
Or is that an old car thing? Do you think all a thief
is gonna come up and like nextto the restaurant if you were in the
back of the parking lot, somebody'sgonna like, oh, giant six wheel
(25:17):
diesel truck, duly guy thing andcome in there and get underneath her and
rip that puppy out while you're eating. I have staking fries. I laugh
because I know this person exists.But you're telling me a guy is gonna
pop out of his truck and it'sup on the curb, and then he's
gonna walk into the restaurant and say, Hey, you know, we gotta
sit over there so I can watchit the whole time. Why does Sylvester
(25:38):
saloon drive a duley got over thereso I can watch it the whole time?
No, Mick, I think he'sa big guy. He's a big
guy over there. We're fighting inRussia. No money, Polly, you're
(26:02):
getting a little regular on me.Oh geezu. Brian also mentions, hey,
Emery, you should also check outyou drive like a bleephole on Maha,
Nebraska. Is that a thing canpeople take? How do you how
do you take photos of somebody drivinglike a bleepole? That's probably not safe?
A video maybe it's still probably notsafe. Dash cam, dash cam?
(26:26):
There you go, that's safe,all right, Brian, I'll take
a look at it. I'm gettinga lot of an enjoyment out of this.
Hey, I got a few moreof these that I want to get
to before we hit the top andScott also emailed in with what he thinks
the best bear is and he doesn'tthink it's a grazzly bear. We'll talk
about that too on news radio eleventen kfab Erie sung on news radio eleven
ten kfab I sure think so.Scott emailed in and said drop bears are
(26:49):
actually the deadliest bears ever. Theyare Australians, so you know they will
kill you slowly and it will hurtunimaginably the entire time. Have you ever
heard of the drop bear? No, it's because it's not real. Oh,
come on, it's apparently a hoax. I asked Chapter GPT about this
and it said it's a fictional creaturementioned in Australian folklore and usually it is
(27:11):
commonly used as a humorous scare tacticto frighten tourists playfully. So like,
if you ever fly to Australia andsomebody says, hey, you better be
watching out for those drop bears,know that they are trying to mess with
you. That's the old Uh,that's the old shooter McGavin. See you
on the ninth Green at nine pm, trick right. Oh, sure you'd
(27:36):
be looking around for those drop bears, or you see a koala in the
sky that apparently that's what it lookslike, but it's just a carnivorous and
aggressive version of the koala that willlike to kill you. Not real anyway.
I also as chat GBT with thebest type of bears. Guess what
that's what they said, pullar bear. It's said it's subjective and depends on
(27:56):
criteria, but these are the notableones with remarkable attributes, and they ordered
them, and they had polar bearnumber one, and they say it's their
ability to swim that really sets themapart. Number two is the brown bear,
which the grizzly bear falls into thatas a subspecies. And number three
(28:18):
was the American black bear, themost common bear that we would find here
in North America. Number four thegiant panda. They only eat bamboo and
they can't really do anything. Incrediblyuncoordinated. How is they? Number four
then the spectacled bear, the onlySouth American bear, the sun bear,
the small spectacled bear, the onlybear natives to South America, named for
(28:41):
the distinctive markings around its eyes.It is smaller and more arburial than other
bears, depending on spending a lotof time in trees. They could also
go for the sun bear, thesmallest of the bear species, found in
tropical forests in Southeast Asia. Ilove them, love the sun bear.
Look them up. They look ridiculous, and uh number seven they put here
(29:02):
the sloth bear. Yeah. Thenative to the Indian subcontinent, sloth bears
are unique for their nocturnal habits anddiet that includes insects, termites, and
ants. Especially. There you go. Paddington Bear is a spectacled bear.
So Paddington is a spectacled bear.Yeah, like the guy in the movies.
(29:22):
Yeah, Paddington Bear with the withthe with the blue raincoat and the
and the red hat. Yeah,he's a spectacled bear. Didn't know that?
Okay, I'm glad we know that. Now. What if he was?
Are the movies different? If he'slike a panda? You couldn't take
him seriously if he was a pandaran? Why not? Because panda stink,
(29:45):
They stink, they're they're they're incrediblyfun to watch, and they're they're
cute. But I'm not gonna spenda lot of time like caring about a
panda going on crazy adventures wearing ahat and a raincoat. What about Jack
Black and the Kung Fu panda.That's not a real panda. That's a
difference. Come on, man playingaround with me in cartoons. Teresa email
(30:07):
that we were talking about We're alsotalking about trucks in the you park like
a bleephole Omaha, Nebraska Facebook group. Teresa says, I'm in the group,
and some of those people defend anykind of bad parking, even parking
candycap spots without permits. They defendpeople blocking sidewalks or parking in yards.
It's ridiculous. Sounds like there's asubgroup of people that our email or or
(30:30):
being a part of that group justto stir stuff up as a devil's advocate
and have fun doing that. They'relike the Batman of all bad parkers.
They're gonna come to your rescue.Hey, Joel's on a phone line of
four two, five, five,eight eleven ten. Hey Joel, you
got something to talk about today?Well, I was talking about the bear,
and the best bear in the worldis the ham Bear. Yeah,
(30:55):
you're right, Yeah, you're right, the Hams Bear. Absolutely, there's
no doubt about it. From theLand of Sky Blue Waters gotta love the
Hams Bear. I enjoy your program. Thanks buddy, appreciate you calling in.
Goodbye. Uh okay, the HamsBear hard atop that. I don't
know how how how massive or dangeroushe is. Phill's on our phone on
(31:18):
a four, two, five,five, eight, eleven ten. Phil,
you got something on your mind here, apparently not bringing out the Kodiak
bear has its own island, that'strue, or the Grizzly bear. Yeah,
now, now see, Phil,I gotta tell you this, there
is a subjectivity to all this.At the same time, I'm a grizzly
bear guy. I'm I'm If I'mgoing to battle with a bear, it's
(31:41):
probably the Grizzly Bear. At thesame time, the Kodiak Bear and an
incredible miss by Chad gpt not havingthat in the top seven somehow. I'm
just throwing that in there. You'reone hundred percent right. Thanks for the
call, and thanks for reminding usof the Kodiak Bear. Yeah yeah.
Jackie emails in and says, mywife worked at the zoo. They told
(32:04):
her the general rule about bears isif it's black, fight back, if
it's brown, laid down. Ifit's white, you're dead. So I
guess Matt, the Polar Bear iswinning people's hearts and minds as the bear
of choice here, and I haveto give you credit for bringing the Polar
(32:27):
Bear and saying that it deserved tobe in the top spot. It's a
powerful bear, it's got a bigold bear claw. We're gonna talk more
about bears in all sorts of randomcrap next, I'm sure on news Ready
eleven to ten kfab
I don't know a lot of theplaces that these people are referencing yet,
Omaha is a big place. Butman, I'm getting a kick at a
looking at these cars that are eithersideways or perpendicular to like the parking spots,
and people in their comments either defendingsome of these people or telling them
(00:21):
that all the other is about asbad as it gets. And one of
the real things that seems to bea pretty regular occurrence here is that these
are large trucks. There are alot of large trucks that are either on
curbs or across lines, either infront of them or next to them,
and I need people who drive bigtrucks to defend themselves. Not that we're
(00:45):
accusatory, but you know, we'rejust kind of we're talking about why big
trucks seem to be on this pagemore than other vehicles. And I've opened
the phone lines four oh two fiveto five eight eleven ten. Is the
number four oh two five five eighteleven ten. We got Steve on the
line. Hello, Steve, thanksfor me a part of our show today.
Can you explain what I'm talking abouthere to me? Yeah, there's
a scene I I I'm doing itright Now, there's a couple of things
(01:11):
from your depiction of the portrait thatyou look at. Number One, he's
probably got a pretty decent truck andhe like to keep it nice. Okay,
so you avoids as much as hecan being in conflict with other drivers
who drive cars and stuff like that. The other thing is, you know,
they are large, they take upmore room. I mean, that's
(01:33):
obvious, you know, but whenthey park sideways on the line, they're
really trying to provide themselves a wayout because it's so hard to drive them,
you know what I mean. Sure, Well, I guess my response
scene is to that would be whywouldn't you just park further away where there
(01:53):
are less cars? You know.It's just that's the men I love you
of some of these truckers. Theywant to keep an eye on their truck
because they got literally uh ten thethousands of dollars wrapped up in them most
times. Ah and uh so that'sthat's one reason why they want to be
able to live all that truck makesure nothing happens to tetru People don't understand
(02:19):
that because that's totally our ole.Yeah, you know, sure, okay,
Well I appreciate the perspective here seeingand uh, there's easier things I
haven't thought about. I've never oncebeen like I better see my car when
I'm inside. But then again,I just I don't feel like I don't
feel that way about my car,I suppose, so I appreciate it.
(02:40):
Seeing takes to the call. Youbet, thank you. Let's go to
Delana Delane's on our phone line offour or two, five, five,
eight eleven ten. Hello Delana?What do you have on your mind today?
Okay? Well, I come froma family of big trucks. Okay,
and kind of tacking on with theguy before said I need a big
truck because I have a lot ofstuff and kids. So I these little
(03:02):
cars and parking spaces have gotten smalleras cars have gotten smaller. Okay,
So it used to be when allthe cars were big, the parking spaces
were big, it wasn't a problem. But now parking space has gotten smaller.
And I don't know if you've evertried to hurt five kids through a
parking lot. But I'm not parkingin the South forty and hurting five kids
(03:22):
into the store. Ah yeah,yeah, I know that makes sense.
I need to fit five kids ina month with the groceries in that car,
These little cars ain't gonna happen.Sure, Okay, well that makes
sense. Okay, So from yourperspective, like, okay, let me
let me uh, let me illustratea scenario for you, Delenna, because
it sounds like you need a lotof space to operate with the what you
(03:43):
have. Now. I let's sayyou're trying to fit into like, uh,
the grocery stores hoppen today and therethere's a ton of full spots in
for you anywhere near the store.There's only like one spot that you see
open, but it's one of theselarger that actually is like somewhat crooked and
their back wheel is like on theline, and you're not sure you can
(04:08):
fit in there accurately. Does thatmake you angry or do you understand,
h he's just got a big truck. It's hard for him to get in
and out of there. I understandbecause I'd be the same way. I
don't go in someplace unless I thinkI can get in and out, and
I've hugged the line many a time. Interesting. Okay, well, Delane,
I appreciate this perspective because obviously it'ssomething that we don't have here in
(04:29):
this studio because we don't drive thebig truck. So thank you so much
for calling in and explaining to ustoday. Okay, let's got to Tony.
Tony, you're with Emory on newsradio eleven to ten kfa B.
What do you got on your mind? Yeah, thanks for taking my call.
I actually drive a semi for aliving all day long, and I'll
tell you people are just out andout rude and disrespectful and they don't think
(04:56):
about others. And I would haveto say, with the gallat call earlier
about the not having enough space inthe parking lots to painted lines, that's
a big issue. Okay. So, so Tony, you say people aren't
respectful, can you illustrate like ascenario for me, Like you're behind the
wheel of a big truck, right, Like, are we talking eighteen wheelers?
(05:17):
Yep, yep? Okay, Soyou got I mean, your this
is your job, your livelihood isat stake. You are driving around trying
to make sure that this truck getswhere it needs to go for the goods
of society, and you're trying tomake make money doing that. Can you
give me a scenario that really wouldirk you make you about as angry as
you could be behind the wheel.Well, for instance, taking up your
(05:41):
stopping distance when you're coming up tostop lights. They don't realize that we're
running. We got basically a freighttrain on wheels, and they don't understand
that an engine to transmission these trucksa weigh as much as a car.
But they'll but they'll literally take upyour stopping distance, cut you off this
finger, you know, And that'sjust that's just driving the big trucks.
(06:03):
The pickup issue, you know,guys with the white tires, you know,
they need to think about that.Okay, I put real white tires
on my truck. Now I'm goingto have an issue getting into a bank,
drive through the parking in a parkinglot somewhere. They need to think
about that, and they need tobe respectful of other people. Period.
Well, Tony, the reason Ithink that you're a really interesting person to
(06:26):
talk about here is because you guysare really the king of the road.
Now, I say that in away that obviously there are a lot of
people. They don't like you anddon't like you, know, they don't
like it when the two semis onthe highway, get close to each other
and have a hard time passing eachother going up a hill or something.
They get mad at you guys forjust trying to do your job out there.
And I find it interesting that you'reseeing like these other big trucks and
(06:48):
the disrespectfulness on the road of thesepeople not realizing that it's harder for you
to stop. It's harder for youto turn. What would you tell people
next time they're out on the roadand they see a big truck and and
they're trying to maneuver either around ornext to a big truck, what would
you say that they need to thinkabout so maybe they think twice before they
start acting disrespectful on the road nextto you. Well, for instance,
(07:11):
if you're following a semi down tothe interstate, if you can't see his
mirrors, he can't see you.And if he's got to stop all of
a sudden, guess what, you'reall over the top of him and you're
dead. Okay, when you whenyou're coming up alongside of a truck,
don't hang next to him because thatright front corner is a blind spot.
(07:32):
Can't see you. And if heif he lan, you're in trouble when
you when you are alongside of atruck, get around him as fast as
possible, leave him lots of theroom, let him know that you see
him, so he can also seeyou. And a lot of the factor
(07:53):
it's the speed issue, Emery.There's you know, there's people out here.
You know the speed limit five milean hour, which I think is
way too fast. Wait, youand people run seventy seventy five mile an
hour's account, And that's that's abig reason why we have accidents every single
day. And it's and it's reallyit's stupidities. Speed and space. If
(08:16):
people can remember speed and space,slow your speed down, adjust your space
accordingly. We have a five secondrule with the trucks. Basically it's three
hundred feet. People should actually useuse the second rule. When you're passing
an object, count three seconds.If you pass it, then you're following
(08:39):
distance is proper. But you know, the cell phones, and I could
go on and on and on,and it's just it's become a real,
real problem. But my my biggestthing I think is people are just they're
in a big hurry. They gotno respect the entitlement. They think that
they're the only ones on the roadfor the only ones that matter. If
(09:01):
you're running laid for work, welldon't try to make up for it with
driving fast, because that's just goingto get you in an accident or you're
gonna hurt somebody. Plan ahead,leave a little bit earlier, take your
time, and stay off the phone. You know, if we get caught
on the telephone, it's a twentyfive hundred dollars fine for the driver and
(09:24):
it's a ten thousand dollars fine tothe carrier. So the guy that I
worked for, it costs you tenthousand dollars for me to get caught on
a telephone. Now, if theywould implement these laws to the general public,
it would slow down all of thenightmare plus every time somebody gets to
an accident. The insurance companies,they got to take care of these issues.
(09:48):
They got to pay out these claims, and then guess whose rates get
increased. Everybody else is out here, dang tony. I love the passion
here. Man. Thanks for callingin and letting us know, and hopefully
we change some and changing some perspectivestoday. You bet your brother. All
right, Hey, I'm sure there'speople out there that want to respond to
that, and we got the phonelines absolutely full. Right now, we're
(10:09):
gonna come back and take all yourcalls. Call us at four h two
five five eight eleven ten. Wewant you to tell us about your experience
with big trucks, whether it's aneighteen wheeler or you know one of those
six wheel diesel guys, or youknow even just a big f one fifty
who's just bullying people out there onthe roads. You can call us a
four h two five five eight eleventen. We'll talk to you next on
(10:30):
news Radio eleven ten KFA B.I'm Andry Soldier. Oh it's you as
Radio eleven p f E E.Tom. Thanks for calling in today.
(10:58):
What do you think about all this? Well, my comment has not so
much to do with trucks, hasparking lots in general. I'm sixty five
years old, but one thing I'venoticed more and more in the last twenty
years is parking lots are designed withparking spaces where you have to pull in
at a ninety degree angle rather thana diagonal, which makes it more difficult
(11:20):
for any vehicle. And I justdon't understand why parking lots are designed that
way Nowadays, well, and Ithink that's something nobody talks about, right,
Tom is just like, hey,you know, maybe if we angled
some of these things, it'd bea little easier for people to get in
and out of. I think that'sa really relevant conversation to this whole thing.
Also, just you know, thewidth of these you know, right,
(11:41):
Like it's not just tough to parkninety degrees, but it's also like
the width seems to be like gettingsmaller and smaller as we go along.
Appreciate the call, Tom, Let'sgo to Dale Dale, Raise Hail prais
Dale. What's going on? Man? Hey, I like to take you
back on top of what Tony said. If you were to put three suburbans
(12:05):
back to back to back all theroad about sixty five feet or so,
and that's about the light that whata truck is, and they need to
piny a lot about five suburbans ontop of each other. That's the mass
in which we are driving. That'sthe total weight and mad so if you
figure fifteen suburbans driving down the road, that's what we weigh. And a
(12:31):
lot of people don't realize this,and that five second role we leave a
big space in front of us.It's not for someone's convenience to get going
to where they need to go quicker, and so that I don't make a
paycake out of you. Sure.And so my biggest fear of being a
truck driver is the fact that someonedoes something stupid in front of me and
(12:54):
I don't have any recourse of doinganything other than doing my best not to
kill them. And if the worstcase scenario is then I got to live
with that back, that that stupididiot out there is no longer breathing the
air in which we all enjoy.And it's for the four wheelers, that's
(13:16):
what we call the cars and thepickups. The four wheelers, the ones
that have the big tires and thebig wheels and the tall trucks, well
they're just compensated for something that's smalleron their anatomy. So that's why they
have the big stuff. The parkinglots are getting smaller, the spaces are
(13:39):
getting smaller and smaller. They getmore and more cars in there. They
don't take in regards of the biggervehicles. And for the bigger vehicles that
have trouble in the spaces, there'snothing wrong with parking on the end of
the parking lot, but there's noone parking so that, Hey, you
don't get a dent in your door? Sure being you know, front of
(14:00):
day someone else's store, right,And I think a lot less people will
complain when you're back there. Dan, This is all good stuff. I
appreciate you calling in man. Theuh, the the the compensation argument brought
up by Dale Dale Ricky's on ourphone line A four two five five eight
eleven ten. Hello, Ricky,got something to say about all this?
(14:24):
Hello Ricky Recky? Are you thereall right? No, Ricky, Uh,
Let's go to Mike. Mike's onthe phone line of four two five
five eight to eleven ten. Hello, Mike, what do you got Hey,
I'm actually in Omaha, Nebraska,and you're talking about the parks on
(14:45):
it like in one part of townwhere Heidi exempts. In one part of
town, they have everything angled andwhy it and they have all the handicapped
in the first two rows in frontof it, so it makes it easier.
The thing is is that with thespots are white white inside, but
if you go further away from thestore, they're even bigger. So I
(15:07):
mean, it's really simple when yougo and learn, and you know,
I drive in that one fifty,you know, so I know exactly what
I need to do. I don'tgo in the small spots, you know,
and if you and I just gochortling with it. So my thing
is is the spots are wider,Like you guys said before, the spots
are wider, and there's more ofthem, or I say, there are
less of them. So everyone wantsto cram in and go across and have
(15:28):
the white line in the middle oftheir car. So this is a lot
of basket So, I mean,I've seen it firsthand every day, every
day. So I just wanted to, you know, put my two cents
in. And I mean the semis, I mean in the in the hyde
in Walmart lots, it doesn't work. It bogs everything down. I know.
I know they need to drive somewhereand park somewhere, but I mean
(15:54):
Walmart parking lots aren't built for semis. So I just think there should be
a part of the lot at thesebig stores, so semi catching park there
and then you know that they don'thave to cut and down knop or you
know or whatnot. Ah, Allright, Mike, can I ask you
a question about your your truck.Yeah do you okay? So like do
you haul stuff with that or doyou just like driving the truck around?
(16:15):
Like what was the purpose of buyingthe truck. I'm honestly, very very
uh interested. Okay. I hada truck that had a smaller bed on
it. This is on Scott reasonwhy. And when I got a bigger
truck all my friends who are moving, obviously a truck is needed, and
I bought the extra bed or alonger bed another uh, it's like a
(16:36):
foot longer. So then if youput a mattress in the back of the
truck, it fit's flat inside thetruck and it's not coming over the tailgate.
So that was the reason why.Uh, just for me, I
like trucks. I don't like cars. No offense, but uh I feel
safe for in the truck in thecar. But I mean that's it.
So I mean, that's just right, you know, as soon as go
ahead. I'm sorry. Well,it's just like you know, most of
(16:57):
the guys that buy a truck,they say, hey, if you buy
a truck, be ready to loseall your weekends because all your friends are
going to be asking you to borrowit. Or have you drive the some
stuff around? Is that your life? Mike? Yeah, yeah. I'm
a disabled event so I don't work, but everyone says I don't work.
You got a truck? Please helpme out. You know who your president,
(17:17):
You know who your president family arewhen it comes to that. That's
funny. Well, Mike, Iappreciate, first of all, thanks for
your service to our country, butalso thanks for calling in and taking part
in our conversation today. That's funny, all right. Well, if you
got some trucking thoughts or thoughts aboutpeople parking like bleepholes out there, you
can call us at four oh two, five five, eight, eleven ten.
(17:37):
There's a lot of emails in here. I'm gonna sift through some of
them. Some people have some thingsto say about the old trucks and about
people parking like bleep poles. I'lltell you about that next on news radio
eleven ten. Kfab Emery Songa onnews radio eleven ten. OK. Fab,
I see that they're trying to takeaway the Second Amendment on us.
(18:03):
You know, ah ha ha,the right to bear arms, the right
to bear arms. The right tobear arms, I believe is actually the
proper emphasis and we all do havea right to bear arms. I prefer
grizzly Oh come on, we allknow that a grizzly bear is incredibly violent,
(18:26):
would never allow one of its beararms to go away. But that's
the one I want make it happen. What if you can power rank the
bears though, the grizzly bear,that's probably number one. I like the
sun bear. Polar bear has gotsomething to say about that. Yeah,
but the polar bear is he notclimate like? He needs kind of a
(18:49):
specific spot on planet Earth to reallybe in his peak. I mean,
they can survive in warm weather.The activist I want to tell you that
they can survive in warm weather.They have no problem with that. But
they're at their peak, like they'rehunting peak when they're on their home field,
if you know what I mean.I feel like a grizzly bear,
(19:10):
you could just kind of you canmove him wherever he's gonna be, all
right. Their camo doesn't work aswell without the snow. There you go.
Yeah, that's where you get thosepenguins jumping right into their mouths.
Almost they didn't even see him there. Yeah, gosh, I like sun
bears because they look weird, notbecause they're like the best kind of bear.
(19:32):
They're the smallest bear. In fact, they get mulled by any other
kind of bear. Probably man DwightShrewt would love this convo. By the
way, which bear is best?Well, we're trying to figure that out,
Dwight. Keep listening. Also,there's a lot of satire out here
about court storming solutions. How aboutthis one? And this is a meme.
I don't on anybody thinks that thisis real. But they took like
a graphic court storming solutions, perESPN's Seth Greenberg, and people are like
(19:57):
kind of like wiping out in arace, what was there? And like
putting their own things, immediate cancelationof the season, loss of you as
a citizenship, if applicable. Aone billion school find for this court storming
and court stormers deported at Guantanamo Bay. Nah, hear me out. Maybe
(20:18):
if we called them court insurrections,people would take them a little bit more
seriously. Here's another one. Allcourt stormers will be required to attend one
Atlantic ten basketball game. Double rimsto be installed for the next two home
(20:42):
games on only storming teams RAM.You know those double rims that they have
at like the park that have nogive whatsoever. You hit the ram and
it just like bounds down. Yeah, and university president will be execute right
there on the half court. Look. Wow, that escalated quickly. Sheesh.
(21:07):
I love people. This is whyI'm on social media. This is
why I'm on social media. Oh, this is funny. I love it
all right. So we were talkingabout the you park like a bleephole Omaha
Nebraska facebook page, and we hada lot of conversation for people who drive
trucks or uh, people who havea problem with people who drive trucks,
(21:30):
and I got I have emails here. I wanted to read, have you
heard of a dually? Is howyou say this? D u A L
L Y dually? All right?Is that how you say that? Is
that? Like? Uh? Isthat like a what's that thing in the
shower? Now? That's a that'sa loofah lufah. Do some people call
(21:52):
them dualies? Do they? No? I don't think So that's just what
I was thinking. I use asponge show and so that little out of
my jurisdiction. I use neither washcloth. No, I ain't gonna say now
because it's probably weird. No,let's hear it. No, keep going
a conch shell? A conch shell? How'd you know? No, I've
been using the same puka shell necklace. No, none of that is clean
(22:18):
your skin. No, seriously,what do you use? There's no middleman
for me. Oh, use yourhands. Yeah, no, that's the
cleanliest way to do it. Yeah. Well, I guess you're not gonna
get a lot of germ build up, right, which is why they tell
you every few months you need tobe replacing your sponge or your loofah because
(22:40):
you can get some bacteria build upin there. Right. So yeah,
no judgment for me. Thanks.Uh. Jamie emails it and says,
I've never heard of someone describe aduly as anything other than a Duley.
I never heard someone close say asix wheel truck? Is it? It
is? Matt, I'm telling you, I am honest when I'm honest.
Wait, I'm always honest. That'swhat I meant to say. I'm always
(23:03):
honest. I'm not gonna pretend likeI know what trucks are called. Apparently
those six wheel duly or the sixwheel diesel trucks, they're called Duley's.
Okay, is that is that athing? I don't know. I guess
it is, but I didn't knoweither. Well, Jamie said, Anyway,
if I'm driving a Duly for anyhauling reason and I don't have the
trailer attached, I just park furtheraway from whatever structure I'm going to.
(23:26):
And we were referring to a specificsix wheel truck that was on the curb
at what looked like to be anApplebee's, right. M hm. Well,
well, Jamie says, since Applebeeseems to always be close to a
Walmart, I would just park inthe Walmart parking lot. Except there's never
a good reason to go to anApplebee's. Oh, Jamie let her app
(23:48):
Rob emails in and says, Ihave an F two fifty extended cab long
box with a plow on the frontand a sand spread er on the back.
It's not a Duly. There areplenty of times where I've had to
take up two parking spots, onein front of the other. I do
that farther away from my building thancloser. Yeah. Well, at least
(24:10):
we know he's working with his truck. Arnie. Yes, Arnie, he
says, a dually pickup has thetwo rear tires together in the rear.
If he parks regular, the rearfender sticks out into traffic. The safer
way is actually to have the tiresup on the curb. Does that change
(24:33):
your opinion on this? Are wein support of the guy that parks his
six wheel truck next to the restaurantand has the wheels on the side or
are we just kind of like manpark further away from the from the restaurant.
Yeah, find a spot in theback. Yeah. But then then
we have the guy that called inand said he was a They want to
see their truck, They want tomake sure nobody takes their truck. Maybe
(24:56):
that's part of the reason. Butthen we need to sit them down and
talk about how word they about stuffthat's silly. Yeah, I mean,
what is it the catalytic converter?Do they even make those in cars anymore?
Or is that an old car thing? Do you think all a thief
is gonna come up and like nextto the restaurant if you were in the
back of the parking lot, somebody'sgonna like, oh, giant six wheel
(25:17):
diesel truck, duly guy thing andcome in there and get underneath her and
rip that puppy out while you're eating. I have staking fries. I laugh
because I know this person exists.But you're telling me a guy is gonna
pop out of his truck and it'sup on the curb, and then he's
gonna walk into the restaurant and say, Hey, you know, we gotta
sit over there so I can watchit the whole time. Why does Sylvester
(25:38):
saloon drive a duley got over thereso I can watch it the whole time?
No, Mick, I think he'sa big guy. He's a big
guy over there. We're fighting inRussia. No money, Polly, you're
(26:02):
getting a little regular on me.Oh geezu. Brian also mentions, hey,
Emery, you should also check outyou drive like a bleephole on Maha,
Nebraska. Is that a thing canpeople take? How do you how
do you take photos of somebody drivinglike a bleepole? That's probably not safe?
A video maybe it's still probably notsafe. Dash cam, dash cam?
(26:26):
There you go, that's safe,all right, Brian, I'll take
a look at it. I'm gettinga lot of an enjoyment out of this.
Hey, I got a few moreof these that I want to get
to before we hit the top andScott also emailed in with what he thinks
the best bear is and he doesn'tthink it's a grazzly bear. We'll talk
about that too on news radio eleventen kfab Erie sung on news radio eleven
ten kfab I sure think so.Scott emailed in and said drop bears are
(26:49):
actually the deadliest bears ever. Theyare Australians, so you know they will
kill you slowly and it will hurtunimaginably the entire time. Have you ever
heard of the drop bear? No, it's because it's not real. Oh,
come on, it's apparently a hoax. I asked Chapter GPT about this
and it said it's a fictional creaturementioned in Australian folklore and usually it is
(27:11):
commonly used as a humorous scare tacticto frighten tourists playfully. So like,
if you ever fly to Australia andsomebody says, hey, you better be
watching out for those drop bears,know that they are trying to mess with
you. That's the old Uh,that's the old shooter McGavin. See you
on the ninth Green at nine pm, trick right. Oh, sure you'd
(27:36):
be looking around for those drop bears, or you see a koala in the
sky that apparently that's what it lookslike, but it's just a carnivorous and
aggressive version of the koala that willlike to kill you. Not real anyway.
I also as chat GBT with thebest type of bears. Guess what
that's what they said, pullar bear. It's said it's subjective and depends on
(27:56):
criteria, but these are the notableones with remarkable attributes, and they ordered
them, and they had polar bearnumber one, and they say it's their
ability to swim that really sets themapart. Number two is the brown bear,
which the grizzly bear falls into thatas a subspecies. And number three
(28:18):
was the American black bear, themost common bear that we would find here
in North America. Number four thegiant panda. They only eat bamboo and
they can't really do anything. Incrediblyuncoordinated. How is they? Number four
then the spectacled bear, the onlySouth American bear, the sun bear,
the small spectacled bear, the onlybear natives to South America, named for
(28:41):
the distinctive markings around its eyes.It is smaller and more arburial than other
bears, depending on spending a lotof time in trees. They could also
go for the sun bear, thesmallest of the bear species, found in
tropical forests in Southeast Asia. Ilove them, love the sun bear.
Look them up. They look ridiculous, and uh number seven they put here
(29:02):
the sloth bear. Yeah. Thenative to the Indian subcontinent, sloth bears
are unique for their nocturnal habits anddiet that includes insects, termites, and
ants. Especially. There you go. Paddington Bear is a spectacled bear.
So Paddington is a spectacled bear.Yeah, like the guy in the movies.
(29:22):
Yeah, Paddington Bear with the withthe with the blue raincoat and the
and the red hat. Yeah,he's a spectacled bear. Didn't know that?
Okay, I'm glad we know that. Now. What if he was?
Are the movies different? If he'slike a panda? You couldn't take
him seriously if he was a pandaran? Why not? Because panda stink,
(29:45):
They stink, they're they're they're incrediblyfun to watch, and they're they're
cute. But I'm not gonna spenda lot of time like caring about a
panda going on crazy adventures wearing ahat and a raincoat. What about Jack
Black and the Kung Fu panda.That's not a real panda. That's a
difference. Come on, man playingaround with me in cartoons. Teresa email
(30:07):
that we were talking about We're alsotalking about trucks in the you park like
a bleephole Omaha, Nebraska Facebook group. Teresa says, I'm in the group,
and some of those people defend anykind of bad parking, even parking
candycap spots without permits. They defendpeople blocking sidewalks or parking in yards.
It's ridiculous. Sounds like there's asubgroup of people that our email or or
(30:30):
being a part of that group justto stir stuff up as a devil's advocate
and have fun doing that. They'relike the Batman of all bad parkers.
They're gonna come to your rescue.Hey, Joel's on a phone line of
four two, five, five,eight eleven ten. Hey Joel, you
got something to talk about today?Well, I was talking about the bear,
and the best bear in the worldis the ham Bear. Yeah,
(30:55):
you're right, Yeah, you're right, the Hams Bear. Absolutely, there's
no doubt about it. From theLand of Sky Blue Waters gotta love the
Hams Bear. I enjoy your program. Thanks buddy, appreciate you calling in.
Goodbye. Uh okay, the HamsBear hard atop that. I don't
know how how how massive or dangeroushe is. Phill's on our phone on
(31:18):
a four, two, five,five, eight, eleven ten. Phil,
you got something on your mind here, apparently not bringing out the Kodiak
bear has its own island, that'strue, or the Grizzly bear. Yeah,
now, now see, Phil,I gotta tell you this, there
is a subjectivity to all this.At the same time, I'm a grizzly
bear guy. I'm I'm If I'mgoing to battle with a bear, it's
(31:41):
probably the Grizzly Bear. At thesame time, the Kodiak Bear and an
incredible miss by Chad gpt not havingthat in the top seven somehow. I'm
just throwing that in there. You'reone hundred percent right. Thanks for the
call, and thanks for reminding usof the Kodiak Bear. Yeah yeah.
Jackie emails in and says, mywife worked at the zoo. They told
(32:04):
her the general rule about bears isif it's black, fight back, if
it's brown, laid down. Ifit's white, you're dead. So I
guess Matt, the Polar Bear iswinning people's hearts and minds as the bear
of choice here, and I haveto give you credit for bringing the Polar
(32:27):
Bear and saying that it deserved tobe in the top spot. It's a
powerful bear, it's got a bigold bear claw. We're gonna talk more
about bears in all sorts of randomcrap next, I'm sure on news Ready
eleven to ten kfab
