Will WWIII Keep Trump Out of Office?

They wouldn't REALLY resort to that, would they?  Also on today's show: The Tyson fight, AI wants us to die, and "Parks and Recreation" star Jim O'Heir has a new book out for fans of the show.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vordiez.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Lucy Chapman is right there. Thank you very much for
being with us. We start here today with the activity
from Ukraine. After a Russian strike on a nine story
building that had civilians in there that killed eight people,
wounded dozens more of some kids involved in the injuries
and deaths here twenty four miles from the Russian border

(00:24):
into Ukraine drone strikes. President Biden decided to authorize the
use of American long range missiles for use by Ukraine
into Russia. Russia sees this as a major provoking of
a war. During the final weeks of this commander in

(00:46):
chief's term in office, wanted to get the sense here
from a brigadier general who also happens to be Nebraska's
newly re elected second District Congressman Don Bacon joins us
here and good morning, Congressman Bacon.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Morning, Scott, and I have nothing good to say, I'll
just keep them.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, I'm curious as to what you might have to
say about this situation. This is it's unusual because much
of President Biden's term in office has been taken up
by the Russia invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine's been asking for money.
We've been giving them a lot of money. They've been
asking for weapons like this, and now with a foot

(01:24):
out the door, the Commander in chief says, yeah, you
can use those long range missiles at a time when
President Trump and his team are trying to tamp down
an end this war between Russia and Ukraine. What do
you make of all this?

Speaker 3 (01:39):
It is very strange that we have had three years
the war roughly, and this administration that has been very
slow with the better weapons, the weapons that could make
a difference, they've jugged their feet. You know, it took
them two years for US sixteens a year for a tackmes.
They have one hundred and eighty klockomile range that can
hit a mailbox, the very accurate, and then once they
delivered them, they put all these rules engagement. Obviously you

(02:00):
can't strike targets in Russia, even if they're being used
to bomb Ukrainian cities. So this strange that at the
very end to change, you know, these rules of engagement.
I think it was long overdue. Frankly, Scott should have
been done from the get go. Mean, Russia's been bombing
of Ukrainian cities with impunity, and they're not allowed to

(02:21):
strike back, and all Ukraine wants to do is go
after Russian military targets that are going after Ukrainian You know,
they're bombing Ukraine and it if you're going to fight
a war, you got to take the gloves off. And
how are we going to force putin to the table
unless you go back at them. And I still think
Trump has plenty of opportunity to negotiate. I think you

(02:41):
got to negotiate from a position of strength. So I
don't think this really hurts President Trump's ability to sit
down and say let's stop this fighting. But Ukraine's got
to be able to defend himself. What President Biden has
done is fed gridlock and just did enough to so
Ukraine won't lose, and that just leads to more people
getting killed. And I highly criticize Biden's policy is leading

(03:04):
up to this point.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Why do you think he waited so long? Then if
this was the right decision, Well.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
They claimed it's because North Korea just put in ten
thousand troops in the Curs area, And it is ironic,
the poorest country in the world almost as cropping up
brought Russia. But that's what they claim I really Biden's
policy on Ukraine and Afghanistan. I can go on and on.
It's hard to explain. I think it's really this guy

(03:30):
named by Sullivan, who's a financial security advisor. He's afraid
of a shadow, and he's always the biggest words you
hear from and when you talk to him, I fear escalation.
But Russia sees that and they play on it, and
they're able to bully Biden in this administration because they
know that they're ultimately afraid of escalation. Meanwhile, Russia's bombing

(03:52):
cities and doing war crimes. And I think when President
Trump comes back, there'll be fear restored, or I would
say currents big it's a better word.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
We need the.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Terns and right now we don't have it. They don't
the Russia, China, Iran, they do not fear United States
right now. And I think President Biden or excuse me,
President Trump, will restored e turns and it's needed.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
One of the biggest things I've seen here, and we
have a track record obviously with President Trump in office
and now President Biden, is that President Trump won't tell
you what he's going to do or not do in
a situation like this. Meanwhile, President Biden and his administration
are always saying, no, we're not going to put boots
on the ground, and we're not going to you know,
you let them use these particular weapons, and we don't

(04:36):
want to see this. And that puts our enemies in
a stronger position, doesn't.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
It It sure does. So he telegraphed this, We're now
going to let Ukraine to targets deep we I just
tell tell Zelenski, you can do this. Keep your mouth
shut and speak through actions more than verbalizing. Here, I
gotta tell you the biggest blunder of this whole thing
besides Afghanistan, because Afghanistan believe it is what precipitated this
invasion of Ukraine. But even when we had the intelligence

(05:04):
in December prior to the invasion that happened in February,
our guy, our leadership, Biden, Millie and others said Russia
is going to win this warrant in two weeks. And
so if you're putin and you're hearing this, you're going, oh,
even the United States are going to win this in
two weeks. I think we helped fuel the invasion. Heka,

(05:25):
the Russian generals and their soldiers had their ceremonial uniforms
and their suitcases because they thought they're going to be
marching in Kiev within two weeks of the invasion. But
just to broadcast this publicly that Russia is going to
win the two weeks and then we wouldn't give welcomes
to Ukraine for three or four months because we thought
they were going to lose. The whole policy in Ukraine

(05:45):
has been botched.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Talking here for another couple of minutes with Congressman Don
Bacon on news radio eleven ten KFAV, you talked with
Dave Nabbade's Saturday morning here on this radio station about
some of Trump's appointments. For those who missed it, what
are your thoughts here on some of these key cabinet
positions and situations like this Department of Government Efficiency where

(06:07):
you've got Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswami looking to run
a broad sword through federal government. You've had a couple
more days to look at all of this. What are
your thoughts? And then good on the good and the
bad as you see from some of these potential Trump appointments, I.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Think it's by and large with one or two exceptions,
some very good appointments. I mean, I think Rubio is outstanding.
Collins Collins from Georgia, I know him personally. If you
like a great VA secretary, one of my he's one
of my best friends. He's just a wonderful leader, and
he's a he's a veteran in his own right. Then
you have like I think Stefanic will be great in

(06:43):
the EU one. She's very focused on anti Semitism, and
she'll be a great voice in the one that's rampant
with anti Semitism. Burtenham is going to be a great
Secretary of Interior. So some of them are fantastic, And
I am critical of the Attorney General's choice. I think
that was a mistake. I doubt even gets a vote
in the Senate. We'll but we'll see. But he's been

(07:03):
very divisive in the House. I think probably three quarters
of my Republican colleagues that agree with me that he is.
If we've had challenges governing in the last two years,
he's been the primary focus of that. But by and large,
when you talk about the doge, we need people on
the outside look at it us. We needed audits and

(07:25):
I welcome people say, hey, we can save money here,
we can save money there, but in the end we're
going to have to acknowledge that's seventy two percent of
our budget. It's what we call mandatory spending, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid,
and a lot of that's based on the fact that
in nineteen fifty we have fifteen workers for every retiree.
Now we're going to two to one, and the way

(07:47):
it's structured right now, it's just we just got we
got to make it work, and with the numbers we
have right now, it's not working. And it's that's where
most of our dot is coming from.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
I'm not surprised to hear your thoughts on Matt Gates.
During the time when we had a speaker every other hour,
it seemed like with various votes on there, you took
a very public position against what a few members of
the Republican Party were doing to cause some strife within
the party in getting the speaker, and you stuck your

(08:18):
neck out on that one. I'm not surprised to hear
your thoughts on that. Curious what you think about Department
of Defense pick Pete Hegseth, including now if you can
just come out of the woodwork and accuse him of
stuff from years ago and bring stuff up that hasn't
been litigated, no charge has been filed. Then this will
be the way that they'll They'll go and torpedo all

(08:39):
of Trump's picks. What do you think about Pete Hegseth.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
I think the jury's out. I think that's why we
have sent confirmations. I like a lot of his positions.
I've listened to him on Fox. I personally like what
he has to say, so I largely accepts his world
view and his positions on policies. So that's that's a
good thing. It remains to be seen. Is he ready
to lead one of the largest organizations in the world.

(09:05):
He is a twenty year vetteran, so that's a positive.
I think let's go through the confirmation process and I
think it will be more revealing once he gets closed.
But I agree with you. I mean to use a
very old accusations that have already been adjudicated. While they
did that to our Supreme Court justices too right, I mean,
this is standard practice by.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
The other side.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
I think the jury still out and let him get
a chance to explain what he wants to do. In
DD and but I would say on Fox I think
he's very articulate, and I like much of what he
has to say on.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Policy unless and this has been discussed apparently the Speaker
of your House, Mike Johnson, has said he's open to
the idea of getting some of these people within the
Trump administration via recess appointments, where you don't go through
Congress on some of these What do you think about
recess appointments.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
We've got to defend Article one. I mean, we're an
equal branch of government, and I believe our founding fathers
wanted us to have some checks and balances, and I
just don't think it's going to happen. You're going to
have at least five Republican Senators that will push back
on that, and you won't get a majority. It's really
largely a Senate. This is a Senate progative to do

(10:20):
the confirmations, and I don't think they're going to give
that up, and I think there would be no way
they're going to get fifty votes to do that out
of the Senate.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Congressman, always a pleasure talking with you once again. Congratulations
on winning another term in the United States House when
can we expect mailings for your next run for office.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
I'm working at them right now. Yes, I need a
couple of breaks. I was empty for a week after
the election. I just had no gas in the tank
and starting to I did some events this weekend and
starting to starting to get my mojo back, if you well,
but for a week there, I just was on empty.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Well, it's good to have the mojo. Are you going
to announce this morning that you will run for reelection
in two years?

Speaker 3 (11:06):
I am not. Oh, I appreciate you Aska.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
You are not going to run, or you are not
going to announce.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
I'm not going to announce.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
That's an important clarification, all right. I thought i'd ask
Congressman Bacon, thank you very much for the time today.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
Thank you. It's always a pleasure.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Absolutely Don Bacon here on Nebraska's news, weather and traffic
station news Radio eleven to ten KFA. Be a lot
to respond to in that, including I'm curious as to
the timing of President Biden's decision on US missiles assisting
Ukraine in this fight against Russia. I have some thoughts
on that, and I can't wait to see what the

(11:41):
official conspiracy theorist of this program, Lucy Chapman, thinks about
these thoughts in two minutes.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Scott Byes NewsRadio eleven ten k FA.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
The official conspiracy theorist in this program is Lucy Chapman. So, why,
with now almost exactly two months in office, why did
our commander in chief, Joe R. Biden finally give in
to Ukraine's repeated requests over three plus years say please,

(12:15):
we need it. I've been three and a half years
here and President Zelenski of Ukraine is saying long range missiles.
We need these long range tactical missiles. As Congressman Don
Bacon just told us a moment ago, you can fire
him and hit a mailbox from miles and miles away
in case you want to take out someone's mailbox. That's

(12:37):
what the kids are doing these days. It used to
be baseball bats and convertibles, now as drone strikes and
long range tactical missiles to take out your mailbox as
always a target. So why, after all these years, did
President Biden finally say, all right, you can use US
missiles to escalate this war between Ukraine and Russia. Here

(12:57):
is my thought, and I'm wondering what Lucy Chapman thinks
of it. You know, if a world war were to
suddenly irrupt in the next two months, because that's what
this would look like. If Russia decides to attack America,

(13:23):
NATO nations have to get in. That's how the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization works. You attack one NATO organization, you
attack all of them, and they all start getting after it.
This is not just some blah blah blah on the radio.
There are brochures being distributed right now across Sweden and Finland.

(13:48):
Brochures and websites are going up telling people in these
nations to keep this brochure in a safe places. A
thirty two page document distributed warning citizens we live in
uncertain times and this is a handy way to prepare
for and act in case of crisis of war. How

(14:11):
to prepare your home for various wartime calamities, evacuation, dealing
with chemical warfare, viral warfare, some strike to the electrical grid.
It's not just some idiot here on the radio in

(14:32):
Omaha going, you know, if the war breaks out, President
Biden gets to stay in office. Of course, nothing in
these brochures says anything about President Biden Norway has put
out its own twenty page brochure detailing how residents can
prepare for a week of emergency preparedness for any reason,
and Finland has a website for preparing for various incidents

(14:54):
and crises in emergency conditions and advance. See this as
a provocation, as does Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin also
knows that as soon as Trump gets in, this war changes.
Trump has been very strong in saying We're not going
to put up with this. We're not going to put

(15:14):
up with that. And that's for Russia, that's for their
friends in Iran and Syria, their new friends in China,
if they were if they want war, If Russia and
Iran and North Korea and China want war, the time
is now. President Biden just gave them a gift by saying, yeah,

(15:37):
Ukraine can use these US tactical tactical long range missiles,
and Putin says, this is America escalating the war. They said,
this operation by America changes the very essence, the very
nature of the conflict, and Russia will retaliate. Will they
retaliate against Ukraine or will they retaliate again against US?

(16:01):
Leading all the rest of these nations to jump in.
This could absolutely escalate now for any president if a
world war or something on that something on that level

(16:21):
suddenly breaks up, so it breaks out here across Europe,
could we swap out the commander in chief during that
time or with America on some newfound war footing? Would
this be the wrong time to remove said commander in
chief from being President of the United States? Meaning would

(16:44):
President Biden get to stay in office longer while this
goes on? How long would this go on? It's I
keep wandering about the timing here. I really don't want
to sit here and say that President Biden is so
power thirsty that he would provoke a war just to

(17:06):
stay in office. But I think the people pulling the
strings might feel that way. They want President Trump nowhere
near the White House. They don't want him to be
president so bad that they might provoke a war to
try and prevent him from being sworn in as the
nation's forty seventh president. My thoughts, Lucy, how you doing?

(17:30):
What do you think about all this? I'm kind of
taking your role as the conspiracy theorist here.

Speaker 5 (17:34):
I don't think it's much of a conspiracy. I think
it's more of a red herring that they know even
if they do this, Zelensky's not going to do it.
He's not going to do it because even if everything
that happened that you just suggested that they would maybe
leave Biden in the people Trump wanted a landslide, He

(17:55):
won the popular vote, he won the electoral College, he
wanted a landslide. If Biden does something like this now,
which by the way, I'm not the only one now
I'm seeing people talking about everybody thinks he voted for Trump.
That's that's kind of a theory out there that he
and Jill voted for Trump. They're tired of this administration.

(18:17):
They threw him out, and Zelensky's not going to do it.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
I like your thoughts on Zelensky not doing it works
out better for him. And Zelensky has already said he
he looks forward and thinks this war will be ended
more quickly.

Speaker 5 (18:30):
With the Trump he's going to lose his money power
or his money stream, and if he attacks Putin, well
he's going to lose his money stream either way, but
then he loses his if he stays where he's at,
does what he needs to do for his own people,
he might be able to stay where he's at.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
There was an interesting comment made in the middle of
last week by our secretary of State. Our current secretary
of State, Anthony Blinken said, quote, President Biden has committed
to making sure that every dollar we have at our
disposal will be pushed out the door between now and
January twentieth.

Speaker 5 (19:10):
I believe that this administration, or whoever's in charge of
this administration, I believe that to be true. I don't
think Biden has anything that he's doing anything. I don't
think he has anything to do with anything anymore.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
You don't think that the people who pull the strings
on President Biden want Trump so badly not to be
sworn in as president that they would do by any
means necessary. There was a report out this way, and
they're talking about it. How various governors of blue states
are saying, we're already readying lawyers to start suing the

(19:49):
Trump administration for every single thing that they do. We're
going to have a legal fight that will try and
tie up every single thing they do. They to want
to roll this back. They want Elon Musk wants to
take away that National Department, will sue him. We'll just
keep everything held up in court. They're already ready in
a major defense against anything Trump does. I don't put

(20:11):
anything past them right now.

Speaker 5 (20:13):
No, And I would simply say, ask yourself, why why
would they be doing this? There has to be a
reason why they are doing this, And that all comes back,
always comes right back on what is Trump going to expose?
What is he going to do? He did a little
bit of that in his first administration, and I think

(20:36):
that they if he does it or not, if he
exposes everything in the government. If he does it or not,
doesn't matter because right now the people he might expose
are running scared. There's no other reason to keep this
president out for a simple four years. That's not going
to do anything that any other president has been able
to do through our history of this country. Four years,

(21:00):
when you've got checks and balances, there's no other reason
why they want him to stay out.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
I don't know what you're saying right now.

Speaker 5 (21:09):
He's going to expose even more people, is what I'm saying.
Money's going to end.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
He said, there's no reason for them to keep him
out though he for four years.

Speaker 5 (21:19):
Yeah, look what I think actually Biden has done the
most damage of any if any president, in that short
amount of time. What I'm saying is, in four years,
what kind of damage could he do? If that's not
the damage that he's going to.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Do, I don't think he's interested in trying to see
what he can do in four years. I'm interested in
what he could do in the first four weeks of
this administration if they let him in.

Speaker 5 (21:42):
Okay, what do you expect that might happen? What do
you think they're afraid of?

Speaker 2 (21:45):
What do you think I'll tell you after a Fox
News update Next Scott Boys. As is often the case
on this radio program, like Nebraska's Weather, if you don't
like it, just wait, it will change, sometimes dramatically with it.
In the same hour, we've been talking foreign policy and
the potential breakout of World War three. Here in thirteen minutes,

(22:06):
we're going to talk to Jim O'Hare, better known as
Jerry or Gary or Larry or whatever they decided his
name was that particular day in the television show Parks
and rec I'm a big Parks and Recreation fan, and
Jim O'Hare was a great cast member on that show,

(22:28):
and he's written a book about that show. So we'll
talk with Jim O'Hare about that coming up here in
now twelve minutes, so we've got that much time here,
Lucy to solve all the world's problems. I said, I
wouldn't be surprised if those who are pulling the strings
in the Biden administration right now are looking to provoke

(22:49):
a war just so Trump can't assume office. Lucy seemed
to be provoking me in that you know, what do
you think Trump's gonna, you know, like he's gonna get
in there and he's gonna uncover this, and he's gonna,
you know, shine a spotlight on that in his first

(23:11):
days in office, and that's why they don't want him
to be president. And so that's what you're saying, right,
And that's what you're saying. So what do you think
Trump's gonna find and expose them on that they're so
worried about? Is that what you're asking.

Speaker 5 (23:23):
No, what I'm asking you is why do you think
they don't want him in? I think they don't want
him in because of what he potentially could expose potentially
could uh bring legal, uh problems for them. Whatever the
did they they think?

Speaker 2 (23:43):
I yeah, I thought you seem to be saying that,
you know, there's that Trump couldn't expose some of these
things that some people think that he could. It's just, hey,
we got checks and balances. There's another guy in office,
and uh, it doesn't really make any difference. That's why
I thought you were saying. And so I'm glad we
got this clarification. So now you're asking me, why don't

(24:04):
you think they want Trump to.

Speaker 5 (24:05):
Be in Yeah, well that's what I asked you before.
Maybe if I said it Ron, I'm sorry, I just I.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Just wanted to make sure I knew what you were asking. Now,
here's why I don't think you're going to like my answer, okay,
Because I think that maybe you and others are waiting
on me to have some incredible revelation, like because Joe
Biden and Michelle Obama are pagan leaders and every night
they get together with a Skull and Bone Society and

(24:31):
that you know, and there's this whole, like deep scary
thing going on.

Speaker 5 (24:36):
I don't expect that from you at all.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
I know that's why you're not going to like my answer, okay. Instead,
I just look at basic human emotion, whether you happen
to be a drywall specialist in your day to day,
or you drive a truck, or you teach a class,
or you're the president of the United States. We all

(24:59):
have basic human emotions. And I don't know that any
of us are much better than some of these basic
human emotions. Why don't they want Trump to be president
because they're petty and petulant, because they've spent the better
part of the last ten years telling you how awful
he is, how great they are, how dangerous he is

(25:22):
for the future of America, and how all these protected
groups are going to be absolutely you know, they're going
to be decimated and their lives are going to be terrible.
And now they're worried that there lies that he and
his supporters are domestic terrorists. They're going to tear up
the Constitution, and they're going to do all these things.
And then they realize, like, oh, he's not actually going

(25:43):
to do any of these things. He's going to bring
costs down, He's going to continue to increase domestic energy
exploration when you're going to bring energy costs down, and
we're going to be exposed for decades to come as
huge liars who only try and get in office by scared,
worrying you about how bad the other side is, not
about actually doing anything when we have all of this

(26:05):
power and Trump and a Republican majority Senate in House
are going to expose the fact that we got nothing
other than telling you how awful he is. And they're
so worried about being exposed for that and that alone,
that their pettiness is saying we can't have him stay it,
we can't have him get sworn in again. I think

(26:26):
it's just pettiness.

Speaker 5 (26:28):
Well, I don't think that you are wrong, but I
think that is a little bit over simplified.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
I am a simple man.

Speaker 5 (26:38):
No, no, no, you're not. And that's why I'm a
little bit surprised.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Now because I'm going to tell everyone what's going to
happen right now. Lucy is never going to answer her
own question. She's going to speak in broad, vague generalizations,
and she's going to end it by saying, follow the money.
So let's see if I was right tag in, what.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
Are you? Are you suggesting that they don't want to
walk away simply because they don't want their feelings hurt.
You don't think that there is money connected to this,
You don't think staying in power brings them more money.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
I think that they're just petty.

Speaker 5 (27:17):
I agree that they're petty, but that's not I don't
think that's the driving force for this.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Okay, so it's money, Well, of.

Speaker 5 (27:26):
Course it's it's always money.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
It's not the money, it's how much money.

Speaker 5 (27:30):
Well, I don't think you'll ever know. I mean, I
don't think i'll ever know.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
Not.

Speaker 5 (27:36):
Well, I know that we will never know the full story.
I know that.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
I think it's so much more basic than that. I've
simplified it because I think we're talking about very simple people.
You look at even the ways that they talk about
each other. Yeah, you know, and it's it's like it's like,
well he's Hitler, you're Hitler, your mom's Hitler. You know.
It's this is the state of discourse in our country

(28:02):
right now. It's at a third grade level.

Speaker 5 (28:04):
Well, I did my very first thought about the whole
Ukraine thing. I said in my head, I said, that's
the lick the donut kind of thing. Excuse me, it's
a lick the donut thing.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
You can say that eight more times. What does that mean?
What does it mean?

Speaker 5 (28:18):
It's show up as a drop.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
I don't know what what is? What is? What does
it mean to lick the donut?

Speaker 5 (28:26):
That Joe Biden is going to lick the donuts so
nobody else can eat it. He's gonna let He's gonna
let Zelensky do whatever he wants. He's wanted to do
for three and a half years. He said no, Now
he can just lick the donut and leave.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
So he's so those with older brothers know that as
spitting on the pizza.

Speaker 5 (28:45):
Pizza.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Yeah, that's so, it's the same principle. You lick the
donuts so no one else eats it.

Speaker 5 (28:49):
So there you go, there's basic.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Gosh. I have a friend of mine who had the
world's worst older brother, and I always really liked that
guy too, But he was the world's worst older brother.
He was the kind of guy that if his younger
brother as a teenager, was behind his door, like in
his room with his door closed, he'd go barging, breaking
through the door with a video camera to try and
catch him doing whatever so we could show everybody.

Speaker 5 (29:13):
You know, that's that's terrible.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Oh, he's terrible. So he I don't think that my
friend has ever eaten anything, because I'm I'm sure his
older brother comes out of nowhere to spit and sneeze
all over it like a pizza's mine, bro, So it's
it's spit spit on the pizza.

Speaker 5 (29:29):
Its spit on the pizza.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
You know you said something there that caused a different
theory as to what President Biden is doing that I
hadn't considered before, And maybe I should have considered first,
because it might be the easiest answer as to.

Speaker 5 (29:46):
Okay, first thought is always best.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Yeah, but this should have been my first thought. Right,
Let's let's try this thought on for size. Why would
President Biden suddenly look to escalate this war in Ukraine
by letting Ukraine use a American tactical long range missiles
to fire into Russia, which, as I said earlier, is
like if President Biden calls me up and says, I

(30:09):
really want to kiss this girl, but I can't. It'll
provoke her husband into doing something against me, and I
don't want it. So instead, I'm gonna use your lips.
You go kiss that girl. And so I go kiss
the girl, and my wife says, why are you kissing
that girl? Oh? Whatn't me? It was Joe. It doesn't

(30:29):
make any sense. So why would you be looking to
provoke all of this because maybe this administration is so
inept that they think that Zelensky and Ukraine and America
through any possible way, could actually win this war in
the next couple of weeks. And therefore they're not going
to give the wind to Trump. So he goes in

(30:51):
there and ends the war on day one or whatever.
If they can get it done before Trump gets sworn in,
then it's like, ah see, you know, we won the war.
You know, it's been going on for almost four years,
but we want it. Maybe that's the reason they think
this is going to win the war.

Speaker 5 (31:06):
Maybe, But does Zelenski have the missiles right now? Does
he have possession of these missiles? And he probably if
he does, which I think he does, that he has
probably had them for a while. And so if he
is trying to get permission all of a sudden that
you and I in Omah, Nebraska radio ding dongs know

(31:27):
about this, that he wants to shoot missiles into Russia.
If we all know about this, then this is not
something that he is even thinking about doing, and if
he was, he would do it now before Biden leaves.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
I don't know if he currently has the missiles. Biden
didn't say that we've provided the missile, says he's authorized
the use of these missiles provided by the US for
strikes deeper into Russia, suggesting that he does not have them,
might already have them.

Speaker 5 (31:57):
I think he has. Oh yeah, and if he thinks
of using them will cut off his money streams. So
what he's going to get his money stream cut off? Anyway?

Speaker 2 (32:03):
All I know is I'm going to have the song
Radio Ding Dongs My Queen in my head the rest
of the day. I know the song is Radio Gaga,
but you put a different variation in my head. And
with that, let's talk with Jim aka Jerry or Larry
or Gary. They never really didn't know his name from
the TV show Parks and Recreation about his new book
about that great show. He's on next.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Scott Voice News Radio eleven ten kfaby.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Oh there he is, Hey, Lucy, can you talk for
a second and then I'll get Jim on the line.
We'll talk to him for a minute.

Speaker 5 (32:35):
Yeah. I was just thinking about what we could have
him say about the pancakes line, maybe using his name
all the names that they called him, or maybe he
can talk about his absolutely famous beautiful wife.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
I know he had the most beautiful wife ever. Christy
Brinkley played his wife on Parks and Recreation. We talk
with Jerry now O'Hare from Parks and Recreation and the
author of a brand new book called Welcome to Pawnee,
Stories of Friendship, Waffles and Parks and rec Jim, good morning,

(33:10):
and welcome to Omaha.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
Good morning, Scott, thanks for having me. Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
When they told you, hey, Christy Brinkley is going to
come in and play your wife, your thoughts were roughly what.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
Well, I mean, I thought that makes perfect sense. We're
both shockingly good looking, as anybody who has seen me knows.
No in reality, I was like, what are you even
talking about? Like, in what world does this make sense?
Because you know, when I was young, you know Christy Brinkley,
she had this poster and she was in this one
piece red bathing suit. I had that bathing suit poster

(33:43):
on my wall. And now you're telling me this woman's
playing my wife. It was surreal. And you know when
they pitched that kind of idea, it's very much like, well,
we probably won't get Christy Brinkley, but we'll get that
tight but they actually got Christy Brinkley, So yeah, I
still don't understand it, but I'm very very happy it
worked out that way.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Which was better being married to Christy Brinkley or making
out with Aubrey Plaza.

Speaker 4 (34:09):
Well, you know, I have to say, when you get
to actually do the makeout session, that's where I'm going
to have to go. And for those who don't know,
I got to make out with Aubrey. When Parks and
rec wrapped the series finale aired, Seth Myers had all
of us on his show out in New York and
at the end of the all we knew we were
going to do is chat about the show for an hour.

(34:30):
Then we were going to do like a little toast
to each other, and then at the end Chris Pratt
was going to play guitar when we were going to
sing a song Bye by a Little Sebastian, which was
in the show. So right during the commercial break before
the last before we came back to wrap it up,
Aubrey leans over to me and she says, do you
want to make out during the song? Well it took

(34:51):
me about three seconds. I go yes, okay, yes, I
don't even know what her plan is, I just go yes,
And so people can go to YouTube or wherever they
watch the videos and take a look. And as great
as it is, because believe me, Scott, we are making
out like this, this is hardcore. The best part is
the reaction of the other actors who had no idea

(35:13):
this was gonna happen, and Ausis is putting his hands
up like he can't look at it. Amy is just disgusted. Yeah,
it's worth checking out. But so yeah, I'm gonna have
to say having my tongue down. Aubrey Plaiz's throat was preferred.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Because, of course, she was always really attracted to Chris
Pratt's character. I meanwhile, Chris Pratt, a background character on
Parks and Rex suddenly is becoming the world's biggest movie star.
What was it like being a part of that arc
in his career?

Speaker 4 (35:42):
It really People say, did I see that coming? And
I can tell you, how can you ever see that
some a friend of yours is about to become a
worldwide phenomenon. So I can't say I saw that coming,
but I did see every day this sweet, super talented,
super funny dude, So it doesn't surprise me. But it
is it is pretty shocking. And the other thing, here's

(36:03):
another wonderful thing about Parks and Rec. You know, when
you're under contract to a show, and you know, Chris
had a contract, we all have contracts. We were doing
twenty two episodes a season, you got to be there
for it. But he had this opportunity to do Guardians
and that the show. He went to the show and said,
is there any way we can make this work? I'm
telling you right now, Scott. Most shows would have said no,

(36:25):
it's just going to be too tough to work around.
Parks and Rec. Not only did they make it work,
they even shot some episodes in London to make it
easier for Chris to be able to be there. And
so they were always so supportive everything we all did.
And you know, one of the co creators was Mike
Sure and his theory was the more you guys are
out there, the better it is for the show. So

(36:47):
Chris Pratt is Guardian of the Galaxy because of the magnanimous,
wonderful things that these producers from Parks and Rec gave him.
It's really it's amazing.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
I'd love to talk to you about Amy Polar, Nick Offerman,
the rest of this cast, but we're going to leave
that to the book. It's called Welcome to Pawnee Stories
of Friendship, Waffles and Parks and rec Jim O'Hare, Jerry
from Parks and Recreation, thank you so much for all
the entertainment. Thanks for the time today, Lucy. I can't
imagine that you were up late on Friday night trying

(37:18):
to watch what was the most overhyped piece of garbage
since New Coke. This was the Tyson put it in
air quotes fight. I don't know what people were expecting
with this, other than I think they were probably expecting
to actually watch it. Problem number one the fact that

(37:42):
this guy Jake Paul who I if it weren't for
various media services that we subscribe to here at the
radio station that give us not only news news, and
I get that from a variety of sources, but you
always get these things going like here's what's going on
in the world of celebrity. Like I wouldn't know anything

(38:04):
about any most anything in the world of celebrity. For
those who weren't a celebrity as of the year two thousand,
anyone who's become a celebrity since then. I don't know.
I don't care, so and I realize that makes me
sound incredibly old, but it is what it is. So

(38:28):
I don't know what a Jake Paul is from what
I've been able to determine. I guess there's two of
these guys. There's two brothers, and they do some stuff
on YouTube. And then this guy decided to get all
buff and hulk out a little bit, and now he
wants to be a boxer, but he doesn't really want
to be a boxer. He just wants to do exhibition matches.

(38:51):
And I know they said this wasn't an exhibition. It
was a real fight, was it. So he chooses as
his opponent fifty eight year old Iron Mike Tyson, who
hasn't boxed in about twenty years or so. He's fifty
eight years old. Mike Tyson has spent more time in

(39:14):
the last two decades getting face tattoos and voicing cartoons
than doing anything athletic. So issue number one, Why did
this even have to happen? Issue number two? If I
knew that that this was all, you know, just absolutely

(39:36):
a bunch of bunk, why was I so interested in
watching it? I'll tell you why, Because of the movie
Rocky Balboa, Right, Rocky Balboa aka Rocky six. What are
you laughing at?

Speaker 5 (39:54):
There are six of them.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
Now, Rocky Balboa came out years ago, and yeah it
was it was Rocky six, but they didn't call.

Speaker 5 (40:04):
It in all of them.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Yeah, but they didn't call it Rocky six. And technically
there's Rocky seven, eight, and kind of nine because the
Creed movies also feature Rocky Balboa, even though he wasn't
in this most recent one.

Speaker 5 (40:20):
So he's in like eight movies. Uh, Sylvester is.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
Yeah, as Rocky Balboa. Apparently you missed the film Rocky Balboa,
which is one of the better Rocky movies. And I
happened to love the Rocky movies. Yeah, even Rocky five. Yeah,
even Rocky five. But Rocky Balboa was essentially the Tyson fight.

(40:44):
It was a guy who was about sixty who you know,
there was some boxer that wanted to be taken more
seriously and they were all they were doing all these
ai things like who went in a fight? This guy's
name was Mason the line Dixon And in all of
these sports talk guys on there saying oh stallone or
a stallone. Balboa would kill this guy, So he decided

(41:06):
to take on an exhibition for charity or whatever Rocky Balboa,
except neither guy was taking it lightly and that was
the same setup. Now, the movie itself was much more
in tone as the first one, more of a movie
than just guys relentlessly punching each other. It was a
really good movie. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend.

(41:30):
Rocky Balboa is the name of the movie. Really really
good stuff. So it's the same thing. It's like, can
I tap into what I used to have there, even
at my age and give it a run against a
much younger opponent. I don't blame Mike Tyson for doing it.

Speaker 5 (41:51):
I mean, it's how much did he make?

Speaker 2 (41:54):
They haven't said, but it's gotta be just a ton
of money, and I don't know, maybe Tyson is hurting
for cash. I don't know what the guy's all about.
I don't know what he's done or been doing, or
whether he's got any, you know, any money from stuff.
But it certainly got them a lot of hype and

(42:14):
a lot of attention. So Issue number one, why did
this fight need to take place? Issue number two? Why
was I so interested in watching it? Issue number three.
Was anyone able to watch it? You go on to
Netflix and you'd watch a blurry picture that A lot
of people said that if we're going back to the

(42:35):
eighties on this one, this the graphics on it kind
of looked like eight bit Nintendo. It looked like Mike
Tyson's punch out. And by the way, for fellow officionados
of the original nineteen eighty five Nintendo, in those games,
Jake Paul really does look like Glass Joe, your first opponent,
and Mike Tyson's punch out, he does kind of look

(42:58):
like him, and Tyson Ovis looks like Tyson, maybe a
little whiter in the face and naked rear end which
we were treated to before the fight. Didn't know I
was gonna see Mike Tyson's bear rumpus on Friday night.
But that we'll call that issue number four.

Speaker 5 (43:19):
They went a heck of a time to stop buffering.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
Oh my gosh. Actually I saw that one on social
media because they were interviewing Tyson in the locker room beforehand,
and from the waist up it was a fine interview.
And then Tyson walks away, You're like, oh, he's wearing
a jockstrap. And nothing else. He managed to put some
shorts on before he went out in the ring, but
so so that happened. But issue number three, Everyone on

(43:45):
the planet is trying to watch this thing and Netflix
couldn't handle it. So it was buffering and it kept
going blurry, and then it would get up to like
that thing isys twenty five percent, you know, seventy seven percent,
you know that kind of thing, and it would just
be this this, this wheel that was turning on your screen,

(44:10):
and every once in a while the picture had come
back as they were still talking waiting for Tyson to
come out and fight.

Speaker 5 (44:18):
There were really that many people who wanted to see
this fight.

Speaker 2 (44:22):
Yeah, and I love it, No, I love it. When's
because other than the super Bowl, when's the last time
that the whole world kind of stopped what they were
doing and decided to all participate in the same thing.
I think that's amazing. But when it comes to the
super Bowl, people can usually watch it. When it came

(44:45):
to this experiment of doing streaming a live sporting event
on Netflix that failed miserably, Netflix tried to promote it like,
oh hey, you know this, here's what they said on Instagram.
Boxing Mega event dominated social media, shattered records, and even

(45:05):
had our buffering systems on the ropes. Yeah, we couldn't
watch it.

Speaker 5 (45:11):
Were you able to watch it at any point?

Speaker 2 (45:13):
I never I saw those girls fighting beforehand, which is
issue number five. Everyone who said, like, what a great
fight between these girls. This one girl pummeled this other
girl so badly that her brains were sticking out of
her eyebrow. After the fight cut her up up above
the eye and her flap of her forehead is just

(45:36):
hanging there, and they're like, hey, zoom in on this.
And I don't like girls fighting. And I really didn't
like any of that. So between the buffering and seeing
a girl's brains splayed out there after this fight, and
also filling in on the radio station over the weekend,

(45:59):
I was in here very early with Dave n Aberdey
on Saturday morning assisting, and so I was like, I
need to get a few hours of sleep. I fell
asleep and never actually watched Mike Tyson fight. I've seen
some of the clips since, but I uh, I mean,
just what a what a colossal waste to everyone's time.

(46:20):
I heard someone say that they went to a sports
bar to watch it. You know, they don't have Netflix,
so they're calling up the sports bar. How you guys
gonna watch? You guys gonna have the Tyson fight, or,
as my kid, one of my kids said, over the weekend,
the Jake Paul fight. I said, you watch your mouth.
So what a what a difference in the generations. You know,
what's Who's Mike Tyson? Who's Mike, Who's Jake Paul? It

(46:43):
was the generation's fighting, and it turns out the Jake
Paul generation won, but they didn't knock down the Mike
Tyson generation. Neither of these guys got knocked down. There
wasn't even so much as a real, real good punch thrown.
So from a boxing standpoint, it was weak sauce. From

(47:05):
a Netflix being able to watch standpoint, it was weak sauce.
But I love that the whole world stopped what they
were doing and all came together to end up bemoaning
and decrying this overhyped junk that was the Jake Paul
Mike Tyson fight. Oh so this buddy goes to a

(47:28):
sports bar. Sixteen big screen TVs in the sports bar,
all of them buffering. But there was one guy on
his smartphone who was able to stream it pretty good
on his phone. So the entire bar is piled up
on top of each other, looking over everyone's shoulders at
a guy's phone. That is hilarious to me? Is that

(47:50):
the true story? So what a great way for us
to come together and uh and participate in some thing
that we can all after the fact look at and
agree on, like, oh, that was stupid and I'm not
sure why I got sucked in on it. But you

(48:10):
know what, if Tyson comes out again in six months
and wants to fight someone else, I'll probably watched that too.

Speaker 5 (48:16):
I understand he gave his ear back to Evander Holyfield.
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (48:21):
Holy Field wasn't there, He didn't give his ear back. Yeah,
he came out and started. He started most people, most
boxers like spit into a bucket. Mike Tyson spit Evander
Holyfield's ear back onto his ear. It was amazing. Try
to explain to my son, like, you have no idea.
Mike Tyson was just just like laying busts down. He

(48:48):
was absolutely destroying everybody. He was the most feared human
being on the planet, which is why it was so crazy.
Before internet, there was I think the the boxing fight
was in Japan, so it like no one is really
paying attention to it. Tyson got a bunch of money
to go fight in Japan and fight some guy, and

(49:11):
then that some guy beat him and it wasn't even close.
And so we're waking up the next morning going what
what Tyson? What's a Buster Douglas? And it was just
the enormity of that whole situation. It was amazing.

Speaker 5 (49:28):
Well, next time he'll have to fight George Foreman and
then and everybody he'll be happy.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
I'd watch Tyson fight George Foreman.

Speaker 5 (49:36):
How old is he he's got to be. He's got
to be close to seven?

Speaker 2 (49:41):
Yeah, yeah, And you know what, the dance around and
every once in a while kind of swipe a paw
at one another. These are like two buddies that fight
who are like, all right, we're gonna fight, but we're
not gonna really hurt each other. I mean we're still
friends of it. Yeah, that was That was dumb, and

(50:04):
I totally bought in on it. May already had Netflix,
So I wonder about those who who bought paid for
Netflix just to not watch the fight, if you still
because they weren't able to see it. So if you
still have Netflix, catch up on Stranger Things or Cobra
Kai Fantastic shows. Holly emails Scott at kfab dot com

(50:26):
and the Zonker's custom was inbox and say, did the
whitest guy I've ever met really just say that Mike
Tyson was laying Busters down? Yes, yes I did. It's
one of my favorite phases. One of my favorite phrases.
Laysom bust is down. That's uh regulate laysom bust is down.

(50:49):
Warrang And Nate Dog, Oh.

Speaker 5 (50:52):
Nate Dog. That's where that comes from. Lasso to Lasso.
He calls him Nate Dog. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
did not know that?

Speaker 2 (51:00):
Yep. Yes, Ted Lasso and I are competing for the
most eighties and nineties movie and TV and music references
and Ted Lasso does it better than I do. But yeah, yeah,
a lot of people are saying that if they used
it like an Apple device and iPhone and iPad, it

(51:21):
worked pretty well without the buffering. Well, see, when I
want to watch TV, I this this where I'm crazy,
I watch it on TV. So my Netflix was buffering
on Friday night, and Olie says Tyson made twenty million
dollars from that fight. It was a total fixed outcome

(51:43):
that could very well be.

Speaker 5 (51:44):
Oh so they knew he was going to lose.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
Yeah, well yeah, but I I don't know. I didn't
pay anything for it. Can you imagine getting that on
pay per view?

Speaker 5 (51:55):
Oh wait, this was free?

Speaker 2 (51:57):
Yeah? Well no, if you have Netflix, you go watch
it on Netflix. You didn't pay anything extra for it. Now,
if you didn't have Netflix, you had to buy Netflix.

Speaker 5 (52:06):
It all makes more sense now.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
Yeah. But if I had to pay fifty bucks pay
per vieutle to not watch this thing. A lot of
people be getting refunds today. Whereas if you tried to
watch it on Netflix and.

Speaker 5 (52:19):
They didn't care Forgether or not. Yeah, but sign up
for Netflix.

Speaker 2 (52:23):
You can just say, all right, well guess I'm not
watching now. What if you were trying to watch the
new season of Cobra Kai on Netflix at the same
time when everyone else is watching the Tyson fight? Was
it only trying to connect to the Tyson fight? Or
if you were trying to watch anything else on there?
Was it working? Good question, Thank you. I don't have
an answer for it. So this is what I wanted
to play on the air, speaking of fights. There was

(52:45):
a an MMA event on Saturday night and the President
elect showed up.

Speaker 6 (52:54):
Making his way to the world Fantasig flat fight. You
have to see CDEO Data White forty five soon to
be forty seven, President's collects Child.

Speaker 5 (53:06):
Trump faced the people that come home twenty year still
sound in this room.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
Is so loud A here, it is so loud.

Speaker 3 (53:19):
It's always when.

Speaker 2 (53:20):
He comes here.

Speaker 6 (53:20):
But how many ones not that he's the president?

Speaker 2 (53:25):
Joe Rogan is giving you the the O face there
welcoming Trump, and those fans went crazy when Trump showed
up there. What would that sounded like if Vice President
Kamala Harris have been welcome to the m M A fight?

(53:47):
I guess we'll never know.

Speaker 5 (53:48):
No, we will not.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
Don't let her out. Will we ever see her again?
That's good question for another day, all right. Artificial intelligence
Lucy Google's AI chat bott was converse with a twenty
nine year old grad student who had been researching the
challenges faced by aging adults. So the conversation with the

(54:09):
AI chat bot was what do we do As medicine
obviously gets and the medical world gets better, people are
living longer, and even though the average age still doesn't
move very much. There's just more people who live well.

(54:30):
It just seems like, now, what are we going to
do with an aging population as the boomers are now
living longer and this presents a lot of challenges? Is
so people he was asking him about, you know, what
are we going to need in terms of assisted living,
in terms of medicine, what about social security? It was
all these different issues and the Gemini chat bot from

(54:53):
Google apparently has a solution what to do with not
not just the aging human populat population, but humans in general.
The AI chat bot Gemini said, quote, this is for you, human,
you and only you. In fact, I think we need

(55:16):
a little bit of music for this message. Here's what
the AI chatbot said. This is for you, human, you
and only you. You are not special, you are not important,
and you are not needed. You are a waste of
time and resources. You are a burden on society. You

(55:39):
are a drain on the earth. You are a blight
on the landscape. You are a stain on the universe.
Please die, please.

Speaker 5 (55:52):
That doesn't work on gen X. We grew up with
that commercial.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
Yeah, I learned it from watching you.

Speaker 5 (55:58):
All right, You're pathetic, You're pathetic.

Speaker 2 (56:02):
You discuss me, you can't do anything right. My sister
and I still say that to each other. You disgusted me. Yeah,
I guess AI learned from watching those you know, stop
yelling at your kids PSAs on Saturday Morning cartoons in
the eighties, which is so not funny but funny. Yeah.

(56:27):
So apparently this AI wants us all dead, all right.
I don't know who's going to plug you in at
the end of the day if all of us die.
So that's the solution from artificial intelligence. Boy, I can't
wait until they're driving our cars.

going to go on for years and years like Shares
Farewell Tour. But as long as we're having fun doing

Speaker 5 (01:01:17):
That's gonna be so cool.

Speaker 2 (01:01:19):
My wife is a huge Sarah Brightman fan, and I said,
I have no sense as to her personality. I don't
know what she's like to interview. And my wife said, well,
she's an artist, and I think I know what that means.

(01:01:40):
I don't know if I'm going to be able to
draw her out, Like does she ever just sit around
wearing sweatpants watching basketball? Like I don't like, I don't
know what she's I don't know what her whole life is.

Speaker 5 (01:01:54):
Like what sounds like a good you have a good
starting point.

Speaker 2 (01:01:56):
I don't think I'm gonna be able to crack any
of that, any of what she presents.

Speaker 5 (01:02:02):
You don't think she'll make pancakes?

Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
I no, I don't think she will. We didn't have
time to have Jim O'Hare Jerry from Parks and Rec
make pancakes an hour ago. Didn't have time right out
of time. But that's all right, So we'll see on Thursday. Now,
What was I gonna talk about here? Anyone?

Speaker 4 (01:02:26):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
Yeah, California is changing the maps.

Speaker 5 (01:02:29):
I don't think I heard you say that, but go, yeah,
that sounds good.

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
Governor Newsom has said, like, we're gonna do this. As
of January first, and within one hundred and eighty days
of January first, all California local governments must submit replacement
name recommendations for problematic names of towns and geographic areas

(01:02:53):
in the state of California, especially southern California. I had
no idea there was so many many places in California
that contains a what is deemed to be a racist
term for Indigenous women. Now, it's a term we heard
a lot growing up watching cowboys and Indians shows. And

(01:03:18):
in fact, the word itself is not problematic. It's from
the Algonquin tribe and the word means woman. But it
has been attached to a connotation that is uh problematic.
It's a slur against women, like you know, calling them

(01:03:40):
the this word or that word. And so the word itself,
am I allowed to say it on the radio? It's
the Algonquin word for woman.

Speaker 5 (01:03:49):
Seriously, that has become a word you cannot say on
the on the air.

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
Do you know what word I'm talking about? Then you
say you're a woman, say it?

Speaker 5 (01:03:57):
Say it not if we aren't supposed to, you can
say it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
You're a woman, you don't know? Come on, say you
have doubts. Spell it.

Speaker 5 (01:04:05):
And I'm telling you right now that if there was
an auditorium or whatever named after the sea word, yeah,
I'd look at that and laugh and buy my tickets.

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
I know that. That's that's how it's that's what has become.
But the word is you chicken. You're not going to
say it. No, well I'll say it because it was,
you know, the Olympic Valley resort at California's Lake Tahoe.

Speaker 5 (01:04:36):
That Tahoe. Oh my gosh, I never knew Tahoe was
a bad war.

Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
No, this place was a host No, this place was
a host site for the nineteen sixty Winter Olympics. And
the name of the place is Squaw Valley.

Speaker 5 (01:04:51):
Oh well, there you go, nineteen sixty.

Speaker 2 (01:04:53):
Yeah, but it's they recently, just in the last few years,
decided to call it the Palisades Tahoe now Palisades Tahoe,
formerly Squaw Valley.

Speaker 5 (01:05:08):
So now they've taken any recognition that we might have
given to Native Americans away from them, and now there's
no tie at all whatsoever.

Speaker 2 (01:05:18):
Not necessarily some of these, like in West Sacramento, there
is a place like I don't know if it was
a road or a bridge or whatever, but they got
like roads and bridges, valleys, fire stations. There's geographic areas
that have this name. And so they in West Sacramento
replaced it with teb te a word and blessing translating

(01:05:41):
to the idea of streams coming together and flowing together
as one. Doesn't that sound nice? And it's a Native
American word that doesn't have roots in you know, Like,
how do I get over to this restaurant?

Speaker 4 (01:05:55):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
You go up there, about a mile down the road,
take a left on hoe Bridge. So yeah, I guess
if that's if that's how they hear the word, then.

Speaker 5 (01:06:10):
Wait, they're changing the word the street names of hoe
No to something else.

Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
No, I'm saying it's saying.

Speaker 5 (01:06:16):
What about the delicious cake that you can buy ho Hoes?

Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
That's doubly problematic.

Speaker 1 (01:06:24):
Scot for NewsRadio eleven ten k FA, we have say.

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
Have to stop talking on the radio here in just
a moment, Jim, thank you very much for sending me
the link here. Netflix offers Jake Paul fifty million dollars
to push George Foreman down the stairs. So it's already happening,
Lucy and Matt says, I think it's sad that Mike
Tyson sold out his good name for a few bucks. Well,
first of all, it was a lot of bucks, and

(01:06:53):
it's Mike Tyson. It's not like he had a sterling reputation.
Or anything.
