Today's batch smells like pot, the Rock Hall, Lucy's armpits, and so much more.

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Scott Vores. Big weekend for Lucywaters her armpit hair and goes out and
stares at the sun for several hoursto celebrate Earth Day while eating dirt.
And she's here, And how wasyour dirt this morning, Lucy? Was
a tasty as usual. It's quitedirty. Yeah, it has a little
metallic taste to it. Always tellingyou don't, you can't eat the dirt

(00:24):
that is there where the old smeltingplant was, right. I try and
stay away from the downtown area,the old Jaba Java Jobbers Canyon. Yeah.
All I could think of was aJaba Jaba Jaba, the hot canyon,
Gary Java Canyon. Yeah, watchout for the smelting in an addition

(00:45):
to Earth Day, and they shouldcombine these holidays. You have Earth Day
to day on the twenty second,but on Saturday it was pot smoking day.
It was for twenty day and goodness. You know, I don't know
about you, but I start firingup big fat dubes on Saturday morning because

(01:08):
you know, as my grandma alwayssaid, you can't smoke pot all day
unless you start in the morning,so you don't smoke pot anymore. I
eat it. I was eating pot. You vape it some matter with you,
right, That's what the cool peopledo. Yeah, I uh had

(01:33):
big jazz cigarette Saturday is what wecall it at the Vorhees household. I
did not know that it was suchan eventful day on four. Oh yeah,
Well we'll have to come over therenext year. Yeah, or as
my kids call it, the daywhen the skunks come back. They're back

(01:56):
every year. On it all right, I have to there's so many people
that believe everything I say. Idon't smoke. I'm not one of them.
I don't smoke pot my wife though, Oh my gosh. So on
this four to twenty, this day, this year, This day also ran

(02:17):
up against the latest drive to geta bunch of people to sign their name
to a petition to force on theNovember ballot the legalization of medical marijuana.
Now, we talked with Christa.She is one of those who spent several
years pushing for this to be legalin Nebraska. It's legal in thirty eight

(02:44):
other states. This group wants Nebraskato become the next. They call themselves
Nebraska's for Medical Marijuana. And Idon't have any reason to believe that some
of the initial core people behind thiseffort there are doctors who will tell you,
yes, if you've got issues witheverything from seizures to glack coma or

(03:08):
you know whatever, medical marijuana prescribedthe right way in the right instances can
certainly help with some of these issues. That is the argument that they make.
Now. To me, it kindof blows the argument out of the
water. When you're going to vapeshots shops and head shops on four to

(03:30):
twenty to try and get people becauseyou figure there'll be crowds there on those
days, to try and get peopleto sign the petition for medical marijuana.
Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sureBob Marley Junior wanna be guy is over
there on Saturday noon at some headshop trying to figure out, you know

(03:53):
what his next bong is going tobe here. He's really concerned about those
kids and their seizures. Oh yeah, absolutely, sign this. Do I
roll it first? No, youjust sign it. Just sign this paper.
I don't roll it. No,just sign. I'm gonna light it.
No it feels wrong not to lightit. Please don't light our papers
on fire. Just sign the thingand then we can do this for the

(04:16):
children and grandma and all the restof this stuff. So it does seem
a little disingenuous on behalf of someof these people to be out there hitting
all these popular spots on four twenty. They're in smoke shops, coffee shops,

(04:44):
liquor stores, yep. All thepeople who have issues with seizures and
glaucoma and and sometimes something that somedoctors will prescribe on medication for and that
is just being bombed. Well,I think they definitely are sending the wrong
message. On the other hand,if you want to get signatures for marijuana,

(05:08):
I guess this is the place tobe. If they haven't already signed,
they probably would today. Well.Look, I know that those who
want this will get the signatures byany means necessary, and it is a
little odd that they hadn't already beento these places. Right now, they
need about eighty seven thousand legitimate signaturesfrom registered voters to be given to the

(05:35):
Secretary of State's office in July,and as of this past weekend, according
to k e TV News Watch seven, before they were out collecting signatures on
for twenty day, they had aboutforty five thousand valid signatures. Now.
The story also quotes a guy withan organization called Smart approaches to marijuana.

(05:59):
Who says medical marijuana is a myth, It's always been a myth. As
far as medical legalization, it's afoothold for commercialization of the industry. As
I've said, I believe that thereare some people who feel differently, who
legitimately feel differently, And there arecertainly some people like a guy who I'd

(06:25):
talked to once upon time that said, yeah, I was there in Arizona
when they legalized medical marijuana. Itwas an absolute joke. People would come
in, they know exactly what tosay to get their prescription for marijuana.
They'd get their card, and theywould just openly be out there smoking.
Say hey, nothing you can dofor me, man, it's legal.

(06:46):
It's like taking tail and all.So yeah, it's like anything. It
can be abused. Now. ThePresident went on social media on Saturday.
You know that President. He's outthere doing TikTok dances and got a post
to the gram and all that stuff. So whoever it is, it's teaming

(07:08):
up to do. The president's socialmedia also came out there and wished to
everyone a happy four to twenty,Thank you, mister President, and said
no one should be jailed for usingor possessing marijuana. How much marijuana?
Just a little bit in a littlepipe. Are people getting jailed for first

(07:32):
defense possession of a little bit ofmarijuana? Mister president, is that reefer
madness taking over? I know itwas a big deal when you were a
little kid, But I don't knowanyone who's getting jailed for first defense possession
of a little bit of marijuana.Now. People who are dealing to kids,

(07:56):
people who are selling these products tochildren who have more than just their
own personal supply, Are you suggestingthey shouldn't be jailed for possessing a certain
amount of marijuana? What about peoplewho are committed a whole bunch of other

(08:16):
crimes and they've got marijuana, andpolice and the justice system say this person
needs to be locked up a littlebit longer, throw any charge at than
we can, because it's still afederal charge. Marijuana possession is in usage
is illegal, but I know whatsome states have done. Still officially at

(08:39):
the federal level, it's illegal,and so we're all just I guess,
I don't know, ignoring that fact. And there's the President taking time out
to wish everyone a happy four twenty. Now, as far as standing up
for Jewish students who are hiding oncollege campuses because of the angry mob of

(09:00):
anti Semites are out there protesting.Here's the president. Oh good, all
right, but we got that fourtwenty message. That's great. I thought
it was interesting that we had anice four to twenty weekend on the same
weekend that Dave Matthews Band got inductedinto the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,

(09:20):
or got not inducted, but they'vethey've been named for induction into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongwith Peter Frampton. He was just here
hanging out with Mayor Stothard. Imissed that show the framp. Was there

(09:41):
a DMB who all of Dave MatthewsBand? Mary J. Blige, MJB
Mary J. Blige. Yes,it's the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
whatever I mean that. You can'teven see that. That is so far
gone. You can know people,there's only so many rock artists. Foreigner

(10:05):
finally got in. The foreigners gotin there, taking spots away from American
rock groups could go into the Rockand Roll Hall of Fame, but to
foreigners in there share I don't knowwhat she is. A tribe called quest
cool in the Gang got in andall of them in the same class as

(10:26):
Ozzy Osbourne, who has not beenas a solo artist inducted in the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame. Well, surely Black Sabbath is I would think,
I mean, they're no cool inthe Gang when it comes to rock
and roll. But I like alot of these artists. But we've just

(10:48):
you know, and this, thechair of the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame says, rock and roll isan ever evolving a Malcolm of sounds that
I agree, Yeah, and itis. It is, and that's not
necessarily a good thing, but Ido agree. Yeah, there's a little
difference between Carl Perkins and Metallica anda tribe called quest a little difference and

(11:09):
all that. But among those nominatedthis year that didn't make the cut,
Mariah Carey, Mariah care No onerocks harder than Mariah Carey. Lenny Kravitz
kind of surprises me. Shenead O'Connorshot a Oasis, Eric b and rakeem

(11:37):
and Juana is the Dixion Jane's addiction. The aside from Jane's addiction, these
are all pop bands. Go andmake your own pop. Hall of fame.
I think that these are all greatartists, but yeah, Rocke Hall
is just a music Hall of fame, all right, and as far as

(11:58):
it used to be. And thisis true for sports Hall of Fame as
well. Like you got to findsomeone who changes the game, who transformed
like we had. We'd never reallyhad this before until this particular artist showed
up who transformed the game. Andnow it's like, eh, we like

(12:18):
Foreigner. I mean, did Foreignerchange the game? I'm not saying they
didn't have a bunch of hits,sold a bunch of albums. People still
like to see him in concerts,but you know, did they change the
game? I would say no,Ozzy Osbourne changed the game. Yeah,

(12:39):
brought live animals into the the set. Yes, he was the circus zoologist
and animal lover. He loved animalsin a way that people hadn't before.
All right. So that's that's it, all right. That's how do we
start off with pot and then music. I think a sports story that is

(13:03):
also an interesting sports story that kindof transcends sports. I'll have that for
you next. Scott Boys. Guy'sname is Gary Cooper. You've heard of
him, the actor. No,this is a guy who played for the
Double A Savannah Braves back in thelate seventies, and then in the summer
of nineteen eighty he got the callthat every minor league baseball player is waiting

(13:28):
to get. You've been called upto the major leagues. Gary, So
he went made his debut with theAtlanta Braves. They were playing the reigning
World Series champion Pittsburgh Pirates, andin his major league debut, he was
playing left field. He got theball and bounced over to him, had

(13:52):
to make a big turn there throughit just whipped it from left field to
second base, probably on the fly. Rosen Rope threw the guy out ended
the game Braves win. He spentthe next twenty one games with the Atlanta
Braves, forty two days with theBraves, and then was sent back to

(14:16):
the minor leagues. He wasn't reallysure why, but he was sent back
to the minor leagues. Why amI telling you the story, Well,
because in order to be eligible fora pension for Major League Baseball and the
Major League Baseball Players Association the Union, you have to be on an active

(14:39):
roster with a major league team fourforty three days. He was there for
forty two got sent back down.Now, if he had been talented enough
to make the team, I thinkimmediately people are like a major league Baseball

(15:03):
didn't want to pay him a pension? If they were like, is this
guy gonna make the team? Isthis guy does he have what it takes
to be in the major leagues?The estimation of the Braves at the time
was he does not. No otherteam picked him up. He went back,
played double a ball for a while, never got picked up again by
the major leagues. And so Iimagine someone in some front office is like,

(15:28):
Hey, this guy's coming up againstthe time, like he's if he's
not going to continue to be onthe team, you understand that if you
keep him on the roster just onemore day, we got to pay him
like six hundred dollars a month forthe rest of his life. Is he
worth that? And they decided no. Now, what I don't know is

(15:52):
whether any bean counter somewhere was makingthat determination. But I mean, you
know how corporations run, forty threedays seems like kind of an odd number.
Maybe at one point it was fortyfive, and then some guy only
did forty four. So they said, okay, we'll move it to forty
four. And now they've moved itto forty three for another guy, so
we want to move it to fortytwo on this guy. I mean,

(16:14):
at some point you got to saythis is what it is. Yeah,
that's true. Also, you're rightin terms of forty three days for a
pension for the rest of your life, which in this guy's case would have
been you know, five six hundredbucks, which is you know, better
in a kick in the throat.You can't you know, necessarily retire on

(16:36):
that. But it's pretty nice.But if everyone gets that, then there's
you know, that's a lot ofmoney that goes into a pool like that.
But in the NFL, I don'tthink you're eligible for a pension from
the NFL Players Association until you've playedI want to say, five years.

(16:56):
Maybe it's only three, but stillit's more than forty three three days.
Well, maybe it's forty three games. You play more games than a short
amount of time in baseball, butyou're not subject to the same beating that
you take even playing one quarter ofNFL football. So it does seem a
little odd anyway, this guy isnow sixty seven years old. He has

(17:22):
appealed twice to Major League Baseball saying, look, I was one day away
from getting my pension. I wantmy pension, and they're like, sorry,
you gotta have this many days youdidn't make it. Sorry man.
So is he asking for the backpension? I mean, at this point,
maybe if he said, look,I missed it by one day.

(17:44):
Let's just start now. How longis that gonna last. I don't think
he's asking for back pay, whichwould be a significant amount of money.
Here's what he's asking for now.He wants to be somen the Atlanta Braves
for two and a half mine fortwo and a half hours. Oh,

(18:08):
be about the length of a baseballgame. That would be his forty third
day. They don't have to beconsecutive. That would be his forty third
day in the major leagues. He'sasking for the Braves organization to sign him
for one day, and he saysit's been done before. Hank Aaron of
the Atlanta Braves did that for SatchelPage. Sign him up for a contract,

(18:33):
Satchel Page could get his pension,and he's like, I'm hoping I
can make the cut for one daysixty seven. He's working part time as
a landscaper, has been homeless formuch of his last several years. He
has no home, he has nocar, he has no savings, struggles

(18:56):
to pay what small, meager amountshe needs for food every month, and
he says, this changed my life. Come on, Baseball, you can
do this. I'm not opposed tohim being signed for one day, right
if the precedent has already been setwith some other player, right, do

(19:17):
this. Yeah, I would saythis guy's not Satchel Page. I'm not
sure what the deal was with SatchelPaige. I thought he played in the
majors for a lot longer than that. But admittedly not a baseball historian,
but I know that based on myrather probably jaundice view of the situation.

(19:40):
The guy was called up for fortytwo days. He didn't have what it
took to make it another day.So Major League's like, look, keep
this guy or cut him. Butif you're only going to have him for
another week or two, we don'twant to pay the money to sustain this
guy the rest of his life ifhe doesn't have what it takes. He
didn't have the chop. He gotcut. It was a business decision,

(20:03):
so That's why I'm saying, ifhe gets signed for one more day,
he needs to play. Put himup at bat four times. Well,
he's he's a would you say hewas a landscape guy part time as a
landscape so he could probably run abase or two. He doesn't look like
he's in terrible shape. Put himout in the left field. I mean,

(20:26):
if if you're gonna sign him forone day, let's see what he's
got. Put him in the batter'sbox. Put him in the left field.
You might want to keep him.Yep, he might be an All
Star this year. I don't know. I saw movies where like Tom Selleck
or something got into the major leaguesat the age of eight and he was
great. I saw a movie wherea monkey made it into the major leagues,

(20:51):
So if he's gonna be signed upfor one day. I saw a
movie where a little kid, alittle big league or something like, this
kid made it. The kid waslike he had a hot fastball or something.
I never saw any of these movies. I saw a movie where they
let Martin Sheen be an All starWest Wing. No, No, that

(21:11):
would be the other Sheen anyway.Charlie, Charlie do you mean Charlie Sheen
movie. Oh you're well, you'resaying, okay, you're doing major league.
Yes, yeah, I blew itright. Well, Charlie Sheen wasn't
sixty seven in that role. Ohso the monkey was. I don't know
monkey years or human years. Iknow that Charlie Sheen once he got his

(21:34):
glasses in that movie, he wasthe wild thing. Vaughn, I'm on,
Vaughn, shut up. Dorn Sorry, Uh, this guy's gonna get
signed. He needs to play.Put him in put and make him earn
it. Put him in as catcherand let everyone steal home as the play

(21:59):
is being made. At the plate, is it really worth it to you?
You're gonna get spiked? And ifhe can do that, he's earned
his money. Fox News Update next, Scott Voice News Radio eleven ten.
KFAB First, some emails in theseZunkers custom Woods Inbox Scott at kfab dot

(22:21):
com on the issue of the medicalmarijuana people using the annual holiday of four
to twenty by going out and pushingfor medical marijuana at all those places where
a lot of epileptics and people whoare dealing with glockcoma cancer and all the

(22:41):
rest of the stuff where they allhang out on four to twenty head shops
and liquor stores, vape shops,smoke shops. You know we want we
don't want recreational marijuana as we're hangingout at smoke shops on four to twenty.
Kind of blows that argument out ofthe water, if you ask me.
But on that subject, Ryan emailsscottikfab dot com and says, don't

(23:11):
waste resources by making it medical.Just go full recreational. Medical will cost
a lot more and waste healthcare professionalstime, which is already in high demand.
I'd vote recreational, but not medical. We all know weed is better
than alcohol. That's from Ryan scottikfabdot com. Look, I've always said

(23:32):
I'd rather be at a concert witha bunch of potheads than a bunch of
drunks. I've seen too many peopleget in fights at concerts with a bunch
of drunks. And when I've goneto concerts where you got a bunch of
potheads there, I've the only personI saw was any danger was just someone
who was just getting hugged to death. Bruh, just getting hugged to death.

(23:57):
Never once have I been at aconcert with a bunch of drunks and
had someone offer me a beer.Hey, you want some of this?
Not once you're at a concert witha bunch of potheads. It's twelve dollars
a can get your own beer,right. All they want to do is
share. All they want to dois share. Do you want some of

(24:17):
this? Like I'm seventeen and youknow so. Regarding for twenty, the
date Lucy on Saturday was four twentytwenty twenty or yeah, four twenty twenty
twenty four, which is a palindromedate. It reads the same forwards and

(24:37):
backwards. Dave says Stoner's just staredat the calendar all day and said,
wow, thank you, Dave.Maybe that's why they didn't get as many
signatures as they were hoping. Regardingthe President speaking out and wishing everyone a
happy for twenty, Jonathan Emails says, if you have a relative who was

(24:57):
eaten to death, you should beable to smoke medical marijuana. Thank you
John for that callback to Friday Showand one of my favorite stories of all
time the president who said his unclewas shot down in World War Two,
he wasn't eaten by cannibals in NewGuinea. He wasn't the plane crash in

(25:18):
the ocean. He died in theplane crash in the ocean. I don't
know that Cannibals are strong swimmers.Let's swim all the way out there.
Eat that guy. What's his name, stew canned food? Right? What
right? Who would say that?Now regarding the president, and another big

(25:40):
issue that of we got Columbia Universityin New York where police are on patrols.
We've got an encampment of people outthere occupying the university. Because if
Columbia says all right, I thinkthere should be a Palestinian state that does

(26:00):
it. Benjamin nettan Yahoo, PrimeMinister of Israel closely watching what these morons
in New York City are doing atColumbia University. Going if we lose Columbia,
we lose this Middle Eastern conflict.Colombia is going full remote as We've
got protesters who are just living onthe grounds of the university. Police are

(26:26):
trying to get them out of there. This is Occupy Wall Street, this
is Black Lives Matter, which Iknow at the heart of some of these
protests you have people who genuinely feellike this is my constitutional right as an
American, and this is the wayI want to engage in peaceful protest.
And then their message, their wholemethod gets co opted by morons who go

(26:51):
from one protest to the next going, oh, I heard this was a
rabble rousing. I want to bea part with the issue Palestine. Okay,
they don't know Palestine from platview,They're just there. It's Occupy Wall
Street, it's Black Lives Matter,it's Antifa, it's the cause djure,

(27:12):
let's go out and shut some stuffdown. And the President he doesn't seem
to be doing anything about this.And I got this email from Stephanie says
tonight is the start of Passover,waiting to see if Joe Biden will ask
Hamas to free the hostages in honorof the Jewish holiday, just like his

(27:34):
pleas for a ceasefire during Ramadan.Let our people go. That's from Stephanie,
sent to Scott at kfab dot com. Steve says, I'm just wondering
why the national media doesn't call allthe college campus protesters exactly what they really
are, Nazis. They love usingthe term when it fits their favorite narrative,

(27:57):
but avoid it when the River tothis see crowd really is calling for
genuine genocide of Jews. Israel hasnever advocated for the elimination of any race,
culture, or ethnic group. They'veattacked organized terrorist groups that have gone
after them first. It's always terriblewhen some innocence in any war are harmed.

(28:17):
That is from Steve sent to Scottat kfab dot com on that front.
The head of Israeli's military intelligence resignedtoday, falling on the sword.
It's been seven months, but he'sthe first senior figure to step down over

(28:41):
his role in the deadliest assault inIsrael's history. Major General Ahan or aren
Haaliva said that in his resignation letter, quote, the intelligence Directorate under my
command did not live up to thetask we were entrusted with. I carry

(29:02):
that black day with me ever sinceday and night, night after night.
I will carry the horrible pain ofthe war with me forever. So he
resigned. I don't know that he'sgoing to commit. Hard to curate,
but all right, yeah. Classesin person classes canceled at Columbia. We've

(29:25):
disrupted what's coming up on finals weekhere in a few weeks at an IVY
league in university in New York Citybecause Israel. What in the world does
Columbia have to do with Israel.Well, because the university works with some

(29:45):
organizations that have roots in Israel,we want them to divest their holdings.
This is these idiots don't know whatin the hell they're talking about. This
is the same attitude that has Ihad a big protest to Creighton a couple
of years ago. So we wantCreighton to divest from any companies, any

(30:07):
stocks that would have anything to dowith big oil. These are medical students
who don't want oil. Never mindthe fact that if you're going to power
hospitals, medical facilities across the country, and ambulances, these are all going

(30:30):
to run on gas. These areall going to run. These are oil
based groups. Whatever climate change,we want you to divest. They don't
even know what divest means. Andthis is the other thing now, because
Colombia needs to divest from their theydon't know. It's just hey over there,

(30:51):
let's go, let's go disrupt things. And it's not just Columbia.
This happened at Yale as well.California doesn't even care. It's happening all
over the place. And London policearrested a guy or threatened to arrest a
guy because there was a big protestof anti Semites. And he was stopped

(31:14):
by police when he was trying tocross the street. He was living in
London and tried to cross the streetand he was wearing his Jewish yamaka and
police said, oh, you're goingto provoke the demonstrators. He's like,
what are you talking about. Well, you're walking around here openly Jewish and
that's going to disrupt these demonstrators.You're going to cause a problem by being

(31:40):
openly Jewish. What has happened?All right? Now, here's a nice
story in Omaha. I'm going toruin for you. Her name is Sue,
and about twenty five years ago shemarried what I presume to be based

(32:04):
on her adult daughter in the storybeing cited. Potentially her second husband might
be her seventh Maybe I don't know. She married a guy twenty five years
ago and on their well more thantwenty she married a guy. They had
their twenty fifth wedding anniversary in Hawaiiyears ago, and he said, you

(32:28):
know, we should visit every singlestate in America, and they started to
do it, but he never gotto fulfill it as he tragically passed away,
and she says that he died shortlyafter they were married twenty five years,

(32:50):
and that's when her daughter said,Mom, we're going to make that
happen, and they started taking trips. One year, they traveled two thy
one eighty four miles just visiting variousstates in America, And on Saturday,
she visited her last state, Nebraska. Wow, how did she miss us

(33:15):
all this time? That's kind ofwhat I was wondering. Why are we
last? I mean because we're rightin the middle. But if you went
to South Dakota any of these otherstates, you can't like cut down and
you can't like last. Well maybethe whole Midwest was her last section.
Well, the only way I wouldtake this is if they were just like

(33:39):
circling. They were just surrounding.There's going in a circle until they met,
you know, right in the middle. And that's when they ended up
in Omaha. They visited the DurhamMuseum and they had dinner at Johnny's Cafe.
Oh, I love that story.Wait did you say you were going
to ruin it? I just onlythat I don't know why Nebraska had to

(34:01):
be last that's not cool. Hey, but we are on the list.
Yeah. And now her kid islike, isn't this great? And KMTV
had a nice story and then theysaid what are you gonna do now?
She goes, I want to visitour nation's national parks, and her daughter
is probably like, Mom, whydon't you stay home or drive yourself.
I've got a life to live.Scott Boys Mornings nine to eleven, Our
