Washouts

The title of this podcast refers to the latest downpours we've received, the dangerous situation for those living on the streets, and the fact that Lucy is mentally washed out from being on the radio all night.  Also, we share the fascinating story of the lady who got bitten by a priest!

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Scott Vorgez. That's Lucy Chapman rightthere, who at about two am was
here on the radio with Terry Laheypresiding over the severe weather coverage that lasted
for hour and a half here onnews radio eleven ten KFAB. I didn't

(00:21):
join it for another fifteen minutes.You guys were on before I joined.
I have to tell you, Scott, Terry did all the work. I
was just running around helping get thenotices, the notifications of what was happening,
and talking about the streets when hehad to take a second to get

(00:43):
stuff together what we call a fillingair, right, no team effort,
and a lot of that was donewithout instruments. As what the computers,
whether they go down or just stopworking or whatever. Use my camera's early
about the time I got here,I got a chance to look through them
once and then they just crashed.But then they came they came back,

(01:04):
but it takes a while to getthem back up. So I was out
without cameras for quite a little bitof time. Well what are the cameras
going to show you in the middleof the night when it's raining dark?
Well it actually, yeah, therewere there are street lights those are pretty
most of the time, they're prettywell lit up. I have to speak
slowly today, I know, becauseI'm so tired. I was trying to

(01:27):
count how many times last night thatI had to use the official phrasing from
the National Weather Service A at youknow, it'd be like two minutes ago
at nine oh six, a thunderstormcapable of producing a tornado or however that
phrase is each time you slow becauseI said it like fifty times, and
so well, don't run through this. This is a tornado warning. This

(01:49):
is important. A severe thunderstorm capableof producing a tornado can come out real
easily as females going to and peopleare like, wait, I actually need
this information. I know you've saidit a lot, but when I had
told you when I first left thehouse this morning, I left the house,
pulled out of the driveway, andthat's when the tornado sirens came on.

(02:14):
So I had to stop for aminute and think, well, gee,
what should I do? Should Igo? Should I stay? So
I decided to go and think.And I said this earlier. But thanks
to the officers that I didn't runinto that didn't have to make the decision,
or that to pull me over forspeeding. It was just a little
bit though. See you don't livetoo far from me. I didn't hear

(02:36):
the sirens. Well, I wasoutside at that point. I was pulling
out the driveway. That is whatthey're there for, right. Don't our
phones usually start going crazy in themiddle of the night with a tornado warning.
It did just a few minutes beforethat, but I was already on
my way to work, and soI didn't look at it. I heard

(02:58):
it go off, I said,okay, whatever, I'll go look at
it in a minute. Ours didn't. There are a lot of people that
probably just slept right through that lastnight, like my kids. You know,
we didn't wake them up and getthem down to the basement because the
I mean, certainly you can't saythe Oma Dome held last night, because

(03:19):
we had some pretty strong winds,and certainly we've had more than our share
of rain and hail damage in partsof this town. No hail associated with
the storm that I know of lastnight. Haven't heard those reports. We
weren't getting them last night. Butthe tornado warnings and the areas that we
were looking at on radar last nightwere both just north and just south of

(03:44):
the Omaha metro and they're following thesame lines as the storms we've already seen
down here for the last month orso. It's almost like there's a path
where things. Don't say a pathwhere things go, It's like there's a

(04:05):
path where things go. I hada breakfast of nothing but pot brownies.
If I say something really emphatically andrepeat it, does it sound smart.
It's almost like, Man, it'salmost like there's a path where things go.

(04:28):
Let me try that again. Younotice that the same areas tend to
get hit by these storms or theyseem to be in the in the well
this path where things go this year, I mean, this is what the
third fourth time in the last monththat there's just a swath of thunderstorms tornadic

(04:53):
activity that are like, so,we're gonna go to Omaha, We're gonna
hang a left, We're gonna goa little north there where's mend and Iowa.
Let's just head towards Harlan Terry Laheyjoins us here in the Kfabian newsroom.
Oh, I just say I hadto finish up some information, but
I wanted to do praise and thankyou and the Lucy Chapman for your help

(05:15):
overnight with that coverage, and WendyWild providing information from our staff, and
Sheriff Aaron Hanson checking in with uswith some information. He was out in
the West part well generally his areaof jurisdiction for the host. Well,
that tornado or that lightning strike thatSheriff Hansen told you about where they had

(05:39):
to rescue some people from their homes, that's in our neighborhood. That's right,
I told you. I'm on theair and I was at home during
this. Well, Terry, andwe already Terry, I don't know if
you heard us. A moment ago, we were praising you. You're the
best little thing. Well, thismutual admiration, I had to join in,
thank you folks and others. Well, you're talking about how Sheriff Anson

(06:00):
was looking at a couple of homesdamaged by a lightning strike. That wasn't
too long after. My wife,who was sitting there looking out the windows,
who was awake while we were doingall this that you know, she's
she's given me the signal for oolightning. You know, a big lightning
strike down there, and that wasnot far from our home, in our
neighborhood. But Terry, you've doneYou've done this severe weather game for a

(06:23):
long time. Have you to longproblems? Doesn't it seem like sometimes some
years you just have the same lineof thunderstorms kind of coming towards the same
path every time, Like right now, it's it's from Blair to Harlan,
that is that swath as we've seenthis now three or four times in the

(06:45):
last three weeks or so, andthen to our south and certainly to our
east here towards you know, Greenfield, Iowa, where it was heading that
direction again last night, And itjust seems like whatever path these storms take,
it seems like it's heading that samesmaller direction over and over again in

(07:10):
the same severe weather season, liketheir train. Meteorologists use that training term
when they line up though these lastnight came in as a more horizontal line
using of you know, the northand south pole as a reference point.
But yes, sometimes you see themjust following in the and the meteorologists talk
about that training. I guess likea train, they line up more west

(07:36):
to east. But you know thatcould be a factor in there too.
How about the London Well, andthat's a story I'm going to try and
follow up on I think this isa Laina cycle too. If I remember
a story from during during the winteron drought, which of course has been
easy to this point. I hopefarmers can get in those fields and continue

(08:00):
with starting this growing season. Yeah, I mean they always say, well,
we need the rain. I don'thear them saying that right now we
have the rain. Also, didwe get any confirmation whether we actually had
any rotation around here? I haven'tseen that. I haven't seen that yet,

(08:22):
just the statements that you were readingand on the computer systems, and
fortunately ours came back on from theWeather Service a radar indicated rotations. But
that's what they thought said. Right, all right, Terry, please get
your stuff done and please heading out, get out of here. And by

(08:43):
the way, Terry, have agreat weekend. You what are you doing
tomorrow afternoon evening over planning, startingto plan I'm getting back in here into
the pyramid roofing Severe Weather Center.Almost unbelievable. Yeah, but then again,
if need be, we will assembleand we'll be here on the radio.

(09:07):
Thank you very much, Terry.Lahy there Lucy Chapman on just after
two am. What time is itsupposed to start tomorrow? I don't know.
I'm still trying to you know,I thought it was later in the
afternoon if if anything. Yeah,later in the afternoon into evening, potential
overnight hours. So get up andgo to the parade in the morning downtown.

(09:28):
Yes, that is the Patriotic Productionswebsite. Go check that out and
be a part of that big eventhere. It should be really nice morning
tomorrow for that. You know whatelse I've noticed that's different this year with
our thunderstorm activity. What is it? I know it's not official, and

(09:48):
I know I shouldn't admit on theradio to using it, Okay, but
for anyone who has iPhones, andI don't know if the same program is
available on androids. I'm rich,so I don't have one of those.
I've got an iPhone, so youI'm kidding, you got the apps already

(10:09):
on your phone when you get it. And one just got a really nice
picture of a cloud, you know, and mostly sunny sky. You got
a little cloud, little sun comingout, nice blue sky is beautiful and
it just says weather, and I'mI always check it and I'm always looking
and the weather app on my iPhoneis generally pretty spot on when it comes

(10:35):
to is it going to be windy? What is the temperature going to be.
It's not like it says eighteen hoursout tomorrow is going to be sunny
and seventy and then eighteen hours latersnow is falling. Yet it's also one
hundred and twenty degrees and you're like, well, this isn't right. Cicadas

(10:58):
are coming out of the ground.Like the didn't say any of this.
I mean, when it comes tostuff like the wind speed and the temperature,
it's dead on. And it usedto be really really and I thought,
I thought this is just us talkinghere. Over the last several years,
I found that when the meteorologists,you know, some of these TV

(11:20):
people and even the National Weather Servicewould say, well, we're looking at
the possibility of severe weather or aton of rain. I'd look at my
weather app on my phone and goit says like a thirty percent chance for
one hour it's not going to rain, and then it wouldn't rain. But

(11:41):
this year, this phone's got areal case of the dumbs. And I
don't think it's my phone. It'snot like, hey, if you get
a new battery, the weather appdoes a better job of predicting this stuff.
But in each of these instances herewhere we've had these big storms.
This was last night, this wasTuesday, and this was late last month

(12:05):
with the tornado and elcorn. Inevery single one of those instances, we
start doing the planning here on thisradio station. Who's gonna be ready,
who's on standby, who's ready togo? Here's the timing. And I'd
always double check by looking at myphone so I could look smarter than everyone
else and be like, if myphone knows what it's talking about, it's
not going to ring three for threeabout twelve hours out, is all.

(12:31):
In each of those instances, iteither had a very slight chance it's rain,
maybe a thunderstorm like thirty percent orless or zero percent. The tornadoes
last month zero percent chance. Twelvehours out last night because everyone's panicking,
like, oh, we are wegoing to be in here in the middle

(12:54):
of the night. I'm looking atmy phone before I go to bed zero
percent chance. That explains our conversationyesterday before I left. You were like,
yeah, you probably don't need tocome in if you want it that
is ready. That is three forthree where if I have three resources in

(13:18):
front of me, and the topicis potential for severe weather, and the
National Weather Service says we're in aZone three for potentially dangerous storms. That's
a heightened level of alert for Omaha. And the timing is going to be

(13:39):
between about one am and four am, and that's what we're watching. And
I say, all right, thankyou very much for your input. Then
over here, I've got two othersources. One is a mentally deranged goat
and the other is my iPhone.And they both say, in their own

(14:01):
different way, either our ears orit's not gonna rain. I'm like,
well, two out of three ofyou say it's not gonna rain. I
guess we'll be fine. I'm betteroff checking in with that goat lately.

(14:24):
Then with this app on my phone. I'm just telling you what I've seen,
because I bet a lot of youdo the same thing. Oh,
the guys in the radio say it'sgonna be bad weather. Let me check
my phone. Oh these guys arelying. These guys, uh, these
people in media, they just wantto start telling you like three four days

(14:45):
out, Oh, watch out forTuesday, it's gonna And then you're like,
well, I better keep listening tothis radio station for the next few
days. They said it's gonna bebad. On Tuesday, my phone says,
it's gonna be fine. You know. I go camping Monday night into
Tuesday morning. My phone says,and also I got this goat over here,
and they both say it's going tobe fine. I know. I

(15:09):
do it too, And for mostmost times over the years, the phone
was right. This spring, thisphone is that was a Tonton. So
we've gone from goat to tanton.It's got a bit of difference in size.

(15:31):
It's almost like the meteorologists have informationto something your phone doesn't. I
know. It almost seems that way, doesn't it all right, So then
we have this. If only someonehad called attention to this before it became
a potentially fatal situation in Omaha.What is it? I'll tell you next.

(15:52):
Scott Byes Snooze Radio eleven kfab.Lucy is barely loose at this point,
like much more so than normal,so much so that not only does
she not know I'm making fun ofher right now, she doesn't even know
I'm talking to her. Lucy,I'm over here. You got glassy eyes,

(16:12):
and I mean that as to saythat they're beautiful, you're the best,
Lucy, good morning. Oh youknow what that means? Then what
I can start talking conspiracy theories andblame it on no because when you it
goes the other way. Yeah,when when you are get a good night's

(16:33):
sleep, clear and level headed,you come in here and go. You
know, they're watching us through ourtoasters. So when you get no sleep
and you're just running on fumes,you'll come in and go. I read
somewhere someone that said that they're watchingus through our toasters. Someone needs to
take away their social media accounts.This is irresponsible. So it's gonna go

(16:56):
the other way. There's no tellingwhat you might say. I'm gonna tell
you you on not Monday. I'mtaking Monday off. I haven't had a
couple I haven't had a day offsince Wednesdaday, So we're going to take
off from Memorial Day. When Itell you on Tuesday the things you said
today, you're like, no,I would never say that. Is like,
yeah, you said he said PresidentBiden's doing a great job and you

(17:18):
love his border policies. Like what, I must have been crazy? All
right, you want to hear somethingthat if only someone had called attention to
this earlier, for example, beforethe storms. This week, the Douglas
County Sheriff's Department on their Facebook page, this is Sheriff Aaron Hanson and his

(17:41):
ilk. They they've been I mean, Aaron Hanson's been on this program a
number of times, talking about,among other things, but mostly talking about
the homeless issue we have in Omaha. I've gone out with him and talked
with people who live on the streetsof Omaha. He doesn't walk around like

(18:03):
Judge Schmails and Caddyshack going don't thesepeople have homes? How about a fresca?
You know, he doesn't. He'snot like that. He has such
care and concern and passion for thesepeople, and he knows that there are
entities out there that are pacifying this, that are allowing this, that are
almost promoting it by saying, hey, what do you need to live on

(18:25):
the streets. Here's a tent,here's some food you can take back to
your encampment. And he says,we need to do better for these people
and our community. So he wentout the other day and was talking about
some of these encampments, saying,look, we got to clear these out
and get people to a safe situation, especially with these storms going on,

(18:48):
and some Karen on Facebook. NowI never use that phrase to describe people
who are like I want to talkto the manager. It doesn't service to
people who are earnestly named Karen anddon't like to be lumped into that and
have their name used in such apejorative way. This woman's name is actually

(19:10):
Karen on Facebook. So when Isay some Karen on Facebook, that's because
that's her name. As other peopleare saying thank you to Douglas County Sheriff's
Office for saving lives, she comesin there and says, where'd you clear
them out to? Simply shuffling thehomeless to a safer encampment doesn't solve any
issues, and people start going toher going what would you prefer that they

(19:34):
do? Just leave them there todrown? What did you do to help
them avoid this travity? Offer orto avoid this tragedy? Offer real solutions
or save your bad attitude for yourself? So people are fighting on Facebook.
This is nothing new. But thenwe had a wash out under the bridge.

(19:57):
This is the Papio Creek at eightyfourth Street. I'm mentally going down
eighty fourth Street here and wondering whereeighty fourth where people be living under eighty
fourth Street, And there's the creekthere like in the vicinity of Pacific anyway,

(20:26):
there are people living there in thishomeless encampment, and Sheriff Hansen's been
saying we have to we can't letpeople live under these bridges. Not only
is it not safe for them,it's not safe for the public. There's
drug use, there's health and mentalhealth issues not being addressed, and this

(20:47):
is terrible. And people are like, Oh, you just don't want to
look at all this. You wantto just drive around Omaha feel like,
yep, best city ever. Ican't see these people. Therefore they don't
exist. Well, this bridge gotwashed out, not the bridge, but
the underneath this overpass got washed out. And the story here from WWT six

(21:10):
news refers to these guys as homelesscampers. They're not campers, they're homeless,
homeless or urban campers. It sayshomeless campers. There's a guy named
Brian they talked to and he says, yeah, we're there and under this
torrential downpour. This was Tuesday morningand afternoon and all of a sudden,

(21:33):
the water just came up like threefeet, and people are like, we
got to get out of here.So I go into my tent to get
my shoes. By the time Icome out, the water had already been
higher. So they're scrambling for theirlives to get out of there. And
there's one couple that either would stayunder eighty fourth Street or the seventy second
bridge near Pacific and the Homeless servicescoordinator Tamra a Dwire for Home tells WWT

(22:00):
six News that no one has seenthem. We don't know where this couple
is. And she just said,well, I hope they were able to
get to safety. Well, anyefforts to try and get them to safety
before it was an imminent threat,we're met with, Oh, this is

(22:21):
terrible. How dare you? Whydon't you just leave these people alone?
Why are you trying to criminalize homelessness? And so forth. So we've got
this this head budding situation here inOmaha between people who ostensibly all want the
same thing. They all want thesepeople to be in a better situation that

(22:41):
then they're in for a variety ofreasons, and for including business owners and
people in the public who look andsee an encampment there where kids are walking
some of these. If you're walkingaround a busy street, you're riding your
bike, your kid, you've gotto ride right by these homeless encampments where

(23:02):
you've got drugs, you've got mentalhealth issues, you've got weapons, and
it's been a problem. So forall of these reasons, you got people
that say we need to do somethingabout this. Then you got the people
who are actually doing something about it. And then the people are like,
well, we talked to them andwe said like, hey, we need

(23:22):
to get you some housing. Oh, what a great idea. Why didn't
I think about that. I'll justgo buy a house. Like under the
latter latter circumstances, the problem inthis town has gotten worse and worse.
Where's it going to be in fiveyears from now? Why is it that

(23:45):
those who are saying we need tohelp these people before it gets dangerous were
met with derision and scorn. Andthen when we possibly had two people living
under a bridge get washed away,no one knows where they are, people
are like, oh, we shoulddo something about talking about this for years.

(24:06):
We've been talking about this for years. Fox News Update here in a
moment a lot of emails here regardingour recent spat of severe weather here in
this area. We'll get to thosenext, Scott Voice. Just when I
thought, Lucy the people couldn't getany dumber on social media, they go

(24:26):
and post something like this and totallyrideem themselves dumb and dumber. You're so
good. This is just a testfor Lucy, having just done that in
our broadcast teas a moment ago tosee if you are at all someone who
should be near a live microphone.I can't even rehearse that. Sadly,

(24:49):
I think you are Douglas County Sheriff'sOffice. This is a great follow on
Facebook, by the way. Theypost a thing like we were just talking
about saying these illicit tant encampments areunsafe for everybody, and it talks about
mental health issues not being addressed,health issues not being addressed, drug use

(25:14):
crime and also the recent flash floodswhich swept through many encampments in Douglas County
is another example of the risk therisk, and there's a video promoting the
bill before the Nebraska unicameral State CenatorMike McDonald has proposed this to say,
look, we don't want to criminalizehomelessness necessarily, but we've got to do

(25:37):
something to allow law enforcement to havea stronger role in getting people out of
situations that aren't good for anybody.And it talks about living outside being something
that we can't allow. First poston here it's from someone named Della.

(26:04):
It's not Della Reese, one ofthe all time great dellas. So again,
this is to give law enforcement andopportunity to more strongly intervene to protect
the people who are living on thestreets. Let me give you an example.
Before I read this comment, SheriffHansen and I went out. We

(26:26):
talked with someone living under a bridgein Millard. This young woman had some
sort of bite on her leg thathad gotten infected and was getting very swollen
and her like the lower half ofher calf and her foot. If someone

(26:47):
didn't address that problem, they'd probablyhave to amputate her leg below the knee.
And we said, you need toWe can't will take you if you
want to go right now, butyou need to get to a hospital.
She's like, I know, doyou want to go now? I will,

(27:11):
No, she won't. And therewas nothing that law enforcement could do
about this. Situation, This wouldbe a stronger way for law enforcement to
intervene for the protection and safety ofeveryone involved. So this woman Della posts

(27:33):
on there, so can my neighborsnow call the police if my grandkids are
sleeping in tents in my backyard?Yeah? Is your backyard underneath a creek
or underneath a bridge on a creek? You know? This is why Aaron

(27:57):
Hanson is the sheriff and Douglas CountyAnd I'm not because if I man this
Facebook page, my response as sheriffwould be yes. And this is the
only reason why we are promoting this. I mean the people living underneath bridges
in public and private spaces, panhandlingin the streets, wandering into traffic,

(28:22):
occupying there. We found evidence thatsomeone was living in the bushes against a
business in the back of the business. Also in Millard. We're fine with
all of that. What we reallyneed to do is find an excuse to
go guns blazing into your backyard withthat President Trump assertion that once the Feds

(28:48):
go in there, they have alicense to kill if they need to.
By the way, did anyone catchthat this week when President Trump said that
Biden the Biden administration gave his authoritiesthe permission to kill me as they went
in there looking for classified documents,and then there was a lot of argument
as to whether or not that wouldbe the case. Technically, it's right,

(29:11):
Yeah, that's what we want.We want one of those kind of
raids into your backyard because the factthat you've got a grand you've got grandkids
sleeping in a tent or several tentsin your backyard is something that this city
should not and could not tolerate,and we will burn them to the ground

(29:33):
with your grandkids in them, ifI mean, that's the kind of response
I'd have. Yeah, this opportunityto curtail homeless and oftentimes criminal behavior is
so Ultimately, if grandma and grandpaare like, oh, we got the
kids for a weekend, so muchfun to let the kids sleep in a

(29:55):
tent in the backyard, can wedo it? And the police are like,
over my dead body. Of course, That's not what Aaron Hanson said
in response to this. This womanwho is I think working really hard to
be one of the dumbest people intown, and I think that her comment,
I will give her the benefit ofthe doubt that she is being sarcastic.

(30:19):
But why even say that neighbors callthe police if my grandkids are sleeping
in a tent in my backyard.Aaron Hansen says, no, the bill
would have banned unauthorized camping on publicproperty. Only people can do what they
please on their own property for now. Yeah, so that's what we have

(30:52):
here. Let's go to the Zonker'scustom woods inbox. Scott at kfab dot
com is the email address, andoh, Keith agrees with me. I
said earlier that I would check myweather app on my phone, and for

(31:12):
years it would say it's not gonnarain, while some of the meteorologists were
like, it's good. Where it'sgonna We're gonna rain buckets, You're not
gonna believe how much rain, Andthe phone's like they don't know what they're
talking about. And the phone wouldusually be right. And lately, three
out of three in these recent stormslast night Tuesday and then in late April,

(31:33):
my phone, the weather app onmy phone has in each of those
times, like twelve hours out saidah, it's not gonna rain, maybe
thirty percent chance for an hour,and then we just get hammered. My
phone's lying to me so for anyoneelse who checks that, Keith emails Scott

(31:53):
atkfab dot com and says, exactly, I checked the weather app around eight
pm last night. It showed athirty percent chance of rain at four am.
I also said, does it seemlike every severe weather season we have
storms following a particular path, sothat the same very narrow bands end up

(32:19):
getting the storms coming right down thesepaths every time? And right now it's
Blair to Harlan, and then we'vegot another swath there south of the Metro,
coming around just south of Papilion andPlatsmouth Bellevue into Mills County, And
Linda says, yes, growing upon a farm, we were in a

(32:42):
tornado path. We had three withina couple of years, and going into
the storm cellar like Dorothy was justpart of my normal childhood. As a
kid, I thought that's what everyonedid, well, people in your neighborhood
did. At two am with thesestorms that rocked this area overnight, I
was blessed to be a part ofthe team coverage in the middle of the

(33:04):
night. But I, unless itinfuriates Lucy to hear these words, I
went back to sleep for a littlebit after that, and Lucy's just been
here working the entire time. Canyou get Terry in here, Lucy?
Is he over there? No?He left? Okay, Oh so Terry
left left. Terry started his dayreally early, and people said, Terry,

(33:30):
you should go home, and hedid. Yet here you are.
Do you want me to leave?I mean for your sake? Yes,
for our sake. That's everyone elselike me and everyone listening to this program.
Then no. So yeah, it'sa it's a conundrum to be sure.
Did you hear the Fox News update? I did tell me every single

(33:53):
thing that was in it. Yeah, there was a celebrity ish passing that
they are going to have a fieldday with Morgan Spurlock has died. Young
guy Morgan names familiar. Morgan died. He was only he's like fifty fifty

(34:15):
three years old and he died ofcancer. So who's Morgan Spurlock. You
maybe don't remember that name, butyou'll remember that for which he is famous.
He was the documentary filmmaker who decidedto do something that a lot of
people have done over their lives.He thought, I'm gonna do this,

(34:37):
I'm going to film it, I'mgoing to make a documentary film out of
it. He ate at McDonald's everysingle day for thirty days, and he
put it together in a documentary filmcalled Supersize Me, which, by the
way, was an absolutely bull crudlie that movie? Was it? I

(35:01):
didn't see it. Old Morgan perhapshad a few demons and issues he was
battling. Let me say a coupleof different things here. First, if
you eat the same thing, orif you overdo something like every single day,

(35:25):
in this case, three meals aday, where you're trying to pick
items that shouldn't be eaten for threemeals a day. You know that's the
thing. People like McDonald's is unhealthy, is it? Or like, should
you maybe not have the twenty pieceMcNugget three meals a day, every single

(35:45):
day for your life? But Ilike McNuggets? Of course you do.
Everyone likes McNuggets. But I'd gothe other way with it. Two people
are like, I only eat therind of an eggplant. Well, you
shouldn't do that for three meals aday either. It's not healthy, so
you gotta switch it up everything inmoderation. The report we talked about yesterday

(36:08):
that says daily or nearly every dayuse of marijuana is higher in this country
than daily or nearly everyday use ofalcohol in this country, And I think
some of that is because of theprevalence of people, whether it's with a
vape pin or gummies, it's justso easy to do, especially if you

(36:30):
got one of those vape pins,it's just always there. Take a quick
hit of it. Yeah, Ido that every day, not a big
deal. No one even knows I'mdoing it. Whether if you're walking around
with a bottle of Southern Comfort ina paper sack, people might notice you
occasionally taken a swig of that throughoutthe day. But if you every once
in a while just take a littlegummy or something, then people are like,

(36:51):
oh, how are you doing good? How are you you know,
like, people are like, Idon't know what's going on with that guy,
but it's not readily a parent.Also, Emorysonger did a great show
on that topic yesterday. It's allposted on his podcast link on the Emerysonger
page at kfab dot com. Aguy called up and said, I think
a lot of the people who admitto daily or nearly everyday use of marijuana

(37:15):
and or alcohol are probably the andthey're probably doing a little bit of both,
and so yeah, yeah, thatprobably makes sense anyway, doing something
every single day if it's not breathing, being considerate to other people, feeding

(37:36):
your healthy soul with that, whichmakes you a better, more well rounded
individual outside of some of these things. Everything in moderation. So this guy
thought, I'm gonna go and I'mgonna eat nothing but French fries and mcfood
three meals a day for thirty days. He did it from February first to

(38:00):
March second in two thousand and three, during which he claimed only consume McDonald's
food, and he said at theend of it, he felt like he
had like ready mixed concrete pouring throughhis veins, and he put on weight,
and he wasn't sleeping well and he'slike, oh, my tongue feels

(38:21):
like cow tongue, you know.I he just felt really unhealthy. He's
like, my, I just gotgravy going through my veins and all that
stuff, and I only ate McDonald'sfood. Well, a couple of things
happened with Morgan after all that.Number one, he admitted, all right,
I didn't just eat McDonald's food.I was also heavily consuming alcohol at

(38:45):
the time, had a little bitof a problem with the old drink a
little too much, the uh thenectar during this time, So oh,
okay, so you were having someMcDonald's and then you were drinking to excess.
So you're drinking alcohol to excess,hmm to turn like that didn't come

(39:05):
out in the documentary. And thenthere was the weird thing where this was
in two thousand and three, andthen Old Morgan had a little I wonder
if he drank Captain Morgan anyway.It turns out Morgan Spurlock was like,
and now I'm going to be avery successful filmmaker and do a lot of
things to make me a lot ofmoney. Well, it didn't work out

(39:28):
that way, and so in twentyseventeen, two things happen in this guy's
life. He announced, I'm makingsupersize me too. You want to watch
me McDonald's again for a month.People are like, I don't, isn't
it going to be the exact samething? Like, yeah, but you
watch a lot of sequels that they'rethe exact same thing. Maybe you watched

(39:52):
this. And then he said,also, I would like to announce that
I'm part of the problem, andwhen it comes to this was the Me
too movement twenty seventeen, he says, yes, I've been accused of sexual
misconduct and I got to tell youI'm guilty of it. And it was

(40:14):
some vague admission that wasn't an admissionabout using the position of power. I'm
like, what power was the guywith the McDonald's documentary and that he'd been
accused. But he's like, oh, yeah, I probably did some things
that I shouldn't have. I didn'tdo anything criminal, but I'm part of

(40:34):
the problem. But it was justweird enough that people are like, especially
as film distributors, saying, we'renot going to put out your movie.
You're now on the canceled list,so we're not going to do this.
So weird guy, Well, howdid he die? Oh yeah, kind
of glossed over the headline on thatone. I wasn't going to let you

(40:57):
cancer. And people are going tosay, oh, the guy who ate
McDonald's every day died of cancer.That means McDonald's gives you cancer. Well,
this is recent, right, hedied of cancer recently. He died
of cancer yesterday at the age offifty three. His documentary film where he

(41:17):
ate McDonald's three meals a day forthirty days. Was twenty one years ago.
I am not a doctor, I'mnot a biologist, but I think
it would be a difficult argument tomake that McDonald's is responsible for his cancer

(41:37):
that he ingested twenty one years ago. And then it just lay in,
Wait, when did he get dinetwo decades? I don't know, and
then died yesterday of cancer. SoI don't but it won't stop people from
saying, See, it just goesto show you eat that stuff and you'll

(41:59):
die of cancer. That that doesn'tseem that doesn't seem to be a link.
I don't have any details as towhen he was diagnosed, nor do
we have details as to what typeof cancer it might have been. Skin
cancer. Oh, he got thehydrogenated oils on his skin, instant cancer,

(42:21):
you know. I don't know.So yeah, and it's just a
footnote in our lives. And it'sfunny. I never watched that documentary.
I was too busy eating Mickey D's. I do love. You know,
his problem when he did this isthe tail end of it. Was right

(42:42):
when McDonald's released The Shamrock Shake,and he was telling people like, don't
go to McDonald's, and people arelike, maybe on March eighteenth, I
might take a few days off,but they got shamrock shakes. Well,
I don't think you could even producesomething like this today. It would I
mean the budget alone for this movie, the budget the three meals of McDonald's

(43:07):
a day. It's like a budgetof eight bucks a day. What three
meals a day? Yeah, it'sa little more expensive. I guess I'm
still a dollar menu guy. Thedollar menu is like, a friend,
are you going to McDonald's. Thereare no doubt dollar menus right now?
You only to tell you all theMcDonald's I go to. No, Okay,
their French fries are delicious though they'rethe best. But also McDonald's only

(43:32):
got picked on because they're the biggestand most popular over a bazillion de people
served. I mean, he couldhave done this with any you name your
fast food. I think he alsocould have done this with I went to
the store and I got this,and I ate it every single day,
the same thing, every single day. I don't know that that produces great
results no matter what it is youeat. A science teacher did that in

(43:57):
his whatever grade class ate nothing thing, but I believe it was twinkies.
Yeah, and he did. Fine, who thought that was a good idea?
Well that's what he did. That'sthe other thing, because it's about
calories, and yes, it's aboutsugar. Well he didn't do it for
a year either. But it's alsoyour own constitution. Do you know how
many one hundred and four year oldpeople will have most of my constitution?

(44:20):
Yeah, we're gonna tick through Lucy'sBill of rights here in a moment.
Do you know how many people rightnow are one hundred and four years old,
you know, and they're like,what's your secret? And one one
hundred and four year old says,well, first of all, you know
all that that vice that people neverdid, any of it? No vice

(44:45):
up early, early to bed,early to rise, made me healthy,
wealthy, and wise. I nevertouched alcohol, never touched cigarettes, never
touched process foods. I never wentin to a den of ill repute or
there might have been gambling or dancinggirls or any of that stuff. I

(45:06):
lived a perfectly chased life. Imarried the first girl I kissed, and
if you want to meet her,she's sitting here right next to me,
you know. And then you know, they and just lived the best life
ever, a very strict regimen ofdiet and exercise, and that's what's caused
me to live this long. Andthen they all right, let's talk to

(45:28):
this next guy, ma'am. Canwe I'm sorry, ma'am, can we
talk? I thought you were aguy? Can we talk to you?
One hundred and four years old?Four years? How'd you get to be
one hundred and four? Just asteady regiment of bacon and cigarettes washed down
with let's see what alcohol a we'regonna have for drink? Just a steady

(45:52):
diet of what's that orange liqueur?Oh? Control? No? Well,
no, what kind is? Iwant to have her drink that? But
I suddenly lost what was called triplesick. Triple sack. Yeah, you
know, just like kwonka. Wellyou're over there drinking triple sick. Yeah,

(46:15):
yeah, triple sack. Triple sackwill always remind me of the early
days of my marriage. I don'tknow how, why, or whatever,
but we had a bottle of triplesack and we didn't have anything else.
So my wife and I I arelike, well, what are we going
to mix this with? Whatever wehad? We had a drink that was

(46:35):
triple sack and root beer, andwe called it the Newlywed because that's what
we had. That's all we had. You're really not going to make a
joke about newlywed and triple sect.I don't think so. Everybody else is,
Yeah, this lady is one hundredand four nothing but bacon, smokes

(46:59):
and triples and she's morbidly obese.Now it just is up to the person.
Some people can do something every singleday be fine. Other people do
the same thing and they end upgetting hit by a bus. Well,
I think we discovered that with well, that's true. I think we discovered

(47:20):
that with COVID, that there werepeople that got COVID and didn't have any
problem with it, people who wereright in the midst of all covidness,
with all sickly COVID, people thatdidn't get anything. And I think so,
I think that if that, ifthe last four years does not show
you that we are all have differentabilities to fight off disease, stay alive

(47:46):
longer, live shorter lives, whatever, if that doesn't show it to you,
See, you're making great sense rightnow, which is surprising considering considering
you got twenty seven minutes of sleepand you've been on the radio since two
very impressed. I thought that SleeplessLucy would come out and say, well,
I think COVID was very scary,and I think everyone should have got

(48:08):
vaccinated and worn masks. Like ah, that's just very It's different from what
you'd normally say. By the way, yesterday on the radio, I talked
about being in airports and seeing threepeople total in four airports who had a
mask on, and I said,you know, these people who are still
wearing their COVID masks look at you, the unmasked people just going living their

(48:30):
lives. They look at you withhate and they want you to die.
So I finished the show. Everyone. You know, when I finished this
radio show, I walk out inthe hallway and there's a line of people
just applauding, like a great job, a lot of back pattern. You
know, they give out various awards, get a bonus. It's great.
At the end of every radio show. It's like when the Rolling Stones and

(48:51):
a concert in nineteen sixty nine andgo backstage and there's just hangers on and
girls waiting in a buffet and drugs, and it's like that at the end
of every radio show, and soI'm doing all of that, and then
I get a voicemail from some lady. It's like, did I just hear
Scott voorh He's on the radio sayingthat everyone who doesn't wear a mask should

(49:12):
die of COVID. I can't believehe'd say that. I wanted to call
her back and say, ma'am,do you wear a mask? No,
well, then I hope you die. You know, just I'm gonna double
down on this, ma'am. Ifyou're still listening, stop telling all your
friends the guy in the radio wantsyou all to die COVID if you don't
wear a mask, because the thesarcastic little punk in me will have to

(49:37):
double down. But I know Ididn't, nor would I say that.
What's the matter with you? Anyway? Now? I didn't say. I
said people didn't mow their lawn shouldhave an option that includes death as the
only way of allowing people to belike, oh, well, no,
wonder he hasn't mowed his lawn allyear? He's dead. Gave that as

(50:00):
an option. Another option was justto mow your lawn. Let's not forget
about that. Where was I?Oh yeah, I want everyone to die.
Yeah, that's pretty much that's whatI got out of this segment.
Morgan Skurlock has died or Spurlock.Morgan Spurlock has died. Did you hear

(50:22):
that? What today? Mm hmmwe got the news today, all right?
Up. Next, lady went tochurch and she tried to take communion
and it didn't go well. I'llexplain next, Scott Gordies News Radio elevenfab
A lady in Florida goes to Masson Sunday at Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church

(50:46):
in Saint Cloud, Florida. Idon't know what happened before. What we
saw on video and the video camefrom it looked like the vantage point of
someone's phone that they were recording nearbywhere this happened, which means someone either

(51:09):
knew there was something weird that startedgoing on and thought I better start filming
this, or I'm gonna film myfriend getting goofy here with the priest and
this will be hilarious and get usa lot of views. Or maybe this
is just most likely you got peoplewho have to record everything. If I

(51:30):
don't record this, if I don'tput this on social media, no one's
going to see it. My favoriteexample of that behavior is I watch golf
on TV. This is not adissertation about watching golf. It is only
an illustration of the point. Yougot Tiger Woods putting for Birdie on the

(51:53):
eighteenth hole and he's gonna win hisfirst tournament in what have we had five
years, and people are like,oh my gosh, this is amazing.
Tiger's come back. By the way, again, this isn't actually happening right
now. This is a scenario whereTiger Woods is putting for Birdie in the

(52:14):
last hole to win his first tournamentin five years, coming back from car
accident. Absolutely amazing. And ratherthan just watch this unfold, people have
got their phone out recording it.They're in the gallery right around the green,
almost as if if I don't recordthis, no one will see it.

(52:39):
It's not live on television or anything. There aren't multiple camera angles around
here. We've got a camera angleon the ground watching the putt roll.
We got an angle over here watchingTiger's reaction as to whether the putt goes
in or doesn't. It's Tiger Woods, it'll go in. We've got an
angle here watching the crowd react toall of this. We got drone shot

(53:00):
overhead, we got guys in thetower looking down at all of this.
We've got seven different camera angles onthis. But there's some guy with his
phone going I have to record this. What's the same thing at a concert?
What's he gonna do? Show hisbuddies and be like, I don't
know if you guys saw this,Tiger Woods want a golf tournament. I

(53:22):
have the footage. I have thezupruder film of this, Like, yeah,
we know it was. It wason CBS. We watched it.
What you guys saw that? Like, I don't understand where some people can't
just be in the moment on somethingconcerts saying, well a concert, somebody
can. Usually the concert videos aren'tall that great. Record it's it's like,

(53:50):
hey, here's a Blur on stage, and ironically it is the band
Blur, famous for the song songtwo, which I heard. Never made
a lot of sense to me becauseI never heard song one. Now you're
thinking, Scott, I don't knowwhat you're talking about. I've never heard

(54:14):
the song before in my life.Yes you have, Lucy. Have you
heard song two by Blur? Yes? I don't know that. Okay,
none of that can go on thepodcast. I'm not allowed to post music
that was just for us. Thatwas a happening, that was happening happening.

(54:36):
So someone's recording communion at Mass.Isn't that illegal? Why? Oh
no, it just sounded like agood thing to say. Maybe with your
God. Someone's recording and there's somesort of something going on between the woman

(54:59):
and and the priest. The priestis up there doing communion stuff body of
Christ. You know, he's gotnot a wafer that is the body of
Christ. It has been transmogrified.And so she's up there and I don't

(55:20):
know what happened. I'll tell youwhat she says. She says she was
singled out because of her sexuality andher attire. And you might think,
how would the priest know that thiswas I guess we're potentially talking about a
gay woman when she went up there. How would he know? Ah?

(55:43):
Sometimes, you know, And asfar as her attire goes, it didn't
look any different than a lot ofthe stuff I see when people wear it
to masks on any other Sunday thereoutthe day, it's like, oh,
time to go to church. We'regoing to God's house. Hang on,
I got to get my best hockeyjersey. We're going to God's house.
But anytime I criticize people showing upto church wearing dirty, old zoobass pants

(56:07):
from nineteen ninety three, then peopleare like, how dare you judge people?
Like, well, if I don't, who's going to I thought that
was my job. I judge people, and I come on radio and talk
about all the people I judged.Is that not how this works? Because
I've been doing it for a verylong time. They're like, God wouldn't

(56:29):
judge. I think you would.I think if you were to come into
God's house and you didn't at leastput on some you know, clean pants
and tuck in your shirt and begGod to be like, huh mohair jacket.
Interesting choice. Okay, he wouldforgive you, but I wouldn't.

(56:53):
So I don't know. She's dressedin some tank top whatever, and so
the she says that the priest said, oh, not for you. You're
not getting Body of Christ because you'reall gay and stuff, with your gay
shirt, your gay haircut, yourgay look on your face. I don't

(57:14):
know, but she said that hewouldn't give me the cookie that's what she
says. So she said the cookie, yeah, the cookie quote. He
wouldn't give me the cookie. Idon't know if it was the way I
was dressed or what it was thator what it is that I like.

(57:35):
That's what she can be heard sayingin the video that's recorded. He wouldn't
give me the cookie. So shetried to take it. This is going
on at it. You can't stealChrist the alter No, Well, how
do you steal something this given forfree? Unto you? So she tries

(58:00):
to take it. She tries tograb the host out of his hand.
Did she break Jesus? So hetries to protect it. You know how
this goes? You know who Ifeel really really bad for. It's not
Jesus. It's cold and flu season. And so some people go up and

(58:22):
get the host, and then they'relike, do you want to drink from
the same cup as everyone else herein the congregation? I'm good, And
so they skip that. And soat the end of communion, You've got
a lot of the blood of Christthere and you can't It's not like they
dump it down the drain. Youknow where I'm going with this. The

(58:44):
priest has to drink it. Oh, I didn't know that. Maybe it's
just an art. He doesn't reallydo it, though, does he one
hundred percent? So he's got tofinish it. And then they take the
cloth and they clean out, sothey don't they don't want to waste any
of it. But he's to goup there and take all the cups that
have been given. If there's anythingleft in it, he's got to take.

(59:05):
Is it sacrilegious and blasphemous to talkabout the backwash of Christ. I'm
getting sick just listening to this.I know, and I watched this,
and I go, what's he doing? And he starts drinking all of it,
like Spalding going through with Bushwood CountryClub after the mixer that night,
you know, just drinking out everyone'sglasses. Spalding, Spaulding, get your

(59:25):
put off the boat, happy Gilmour, Come on, well, at least
you got a golf movie Caddyshack.So he's got to drink all of that.
And I think, but that's whyhe's holier than I am. He
does it. He doesn't even showa grimace, not even a slight grimace
on his face. It's amazing.Well, I suppose he's protected from any

(59:50):
kind of germs and stuff. Idon't think because he's the priest. Hey,
it's the other denominations just what wehave little shock for My point is
is they yeah, they right.I prefer the shot glass. Again,
probably blasphemous to put it in theseterms little plastic cups. Anyway, So
they fight at my church, theyput it. They dump it out into

(01:00:13):
some big red solo cups. That'show we worship, and it is fun
after church at your place, theChurch of Saint Toby, let's have a
church mass, potlucks in the basementare apig I'm just saying that they protect

(01:00:36):
the host by any means necessary.So this woman wouldn't get her cookie.
She tries to grab it from thepriest. The priest tries to protect it.
She's got her hand in there,she's trying to grab it. He's
trying to not let her. Andthen in the scuffle he does something that
I think he probably would admit wasmaybe not the best move, but it

(01:00:59):
was a reaction actionary one. Heleaned over and bit her on the arm.
What he her? She got thevideo of this. Yeah, the
priest, father Fidel Rodriguez, whereis the official priest of the Good Morning
Show. We need to talk tohim. Hasn't been called the Good Morning

(01:01:22):
Show in eight years. Well,you know that's what he began. I
know, I know, I know, I know. We need Father Ryan
Lewis on here to say what isthe appropriate way for a man of the
cloth to bite a woman of thewhatever attire she's wearing, whatever clothes she
has on. So some hag andrag shows up there, tries to grab

(01:01:43):
the host and he's like nope,and then he bit her. Wait wait,
what did she do? She said, Ah, Charlie bit me.
That's what she's said. And thenso that happened at ten o'clock Mass.

(01:02:06):
You gotta get everyone out by aboutten fifty five eleven o'clock we got the
eleven twenty Mass or whatever starting.You gotta get the parking lot clear,
got everyone in here. She cameback to the next Mass and tried again.
Was she wearing the same clothes?I don't know, Maybe it's these
clothes. No. Police talked tohim and and like what he said,

(01:02:30):
I just I think the woman needsto come back here and confess. I
forgive her. She tasted like chicken, so she might confessed. How many
people have been bitten by a priestduring communion throughout the since the dawn of

(01:02:51):
time, All these people going throughcommunion, all these different mass services,
four or five a day. Youknow you got the say Saturday night one
as well, You've got all this. I don't think this has ever happened
in the history of mankind, andI think that's worth celebrating. Woman god

(01:03:12):
bit, But you're not supposed totake the host if you're not Catholic.
I don't know she was Catholic.Oh maybe he did, so that's why
I don't. I don't take it. I'm not Catholic. We go to
mass I'm Catholic by proxy, butI'll go get a blessing. I don't
get the host. I don't wantto get my arm chewed off. Scott
Boyes. I hope that you're allset to have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend,

(01:03:36):
Lucy. I hope that you gota weekend that includes lots of rest
and take Monday off, maybe infact, take off now. I'll be

Weel in, Yeah, go tothe Patriotic Production's website and get all
the details about tomorrow morning's patriotic paradethrough downtown Omaha. It's all right there

(01:04:00):
on their website Patriotic Productions dot rg. Yeah and uh yep, Patriotic Productions
dot org for all the details abouttomorrow morning's parade. Take the kids,
Take the grandkids. President Trump yesterdaywent into a place where Republicans just don't

(01:04:21):
win. They don't compete there,there's no point. He went to the
Bronx in New York and had ahuge rally. It's just surrounded by not
only people who are like, yeah, Trump, we love Trump, but
they also had a big counter rallyfull of people are like, You're the
worst thing ever, You're a dangerto our democracy. The counter huge.

(01:04:44):
I don't know the Trump rally significantlydwarfed the counter rally, but just the
fact that he did it, Imean, the stones on this guy.
Look at it this way. Ifyou think like a it's not look at
it this way. Can you picturePresident bi going and doing a rally in
a place where Democrats just don't win, place like Rexburg, Idaho, where

(01:05:08):
I don't think one single person inthe history of that town has ever voted
for a Democrat and him going anddoing a rally and facing people like that,
can you imagine it? No,because he would never do it.
You wonder if this will work out. I don't know. I'm not saying
that Trump wins New York City,but you got to hand it to the

(01:05:32):
guy. He either has guts orhe just he's like, I'm not allowed
to leave New York. I gotanother trial here. Scott Voyes Mornings nine
