Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vorgies. I have been over the past week and
a half decrying, not, of course, just the murder of
the CEO of United Healthcare and Iowa native, a family man,
father of two sons. I seemingly am seemingly one of
the very few who is doing that. But I've also
(00:23):
been decrying the martyrdom martyrdom that his murderer has enjoyed
in social media circles. And there's one really disgusting thing
related to the adoration of this murderer that I actually
have to come to my senses on and begrudgingly admit
(00:45):
that I understand a part of this and has nothing
to do with healthcare, has nothing to do with the
denial of insurance claims. And this lie that's out there
that people are dying every day is billionaires are getting
rich and filling their pockets by saying I deny that.
(01:05):
You know that that child doesn't need to live, You
know that that there's a lie that this is going on,
But it has nothing to do with any of that,
and instead has to do with apparently a legion of
many young women on essentially throwing their panties at this murderer. Sorry,
(01:29):
I know I don't. I don't know how. I mean,
all right, so, wait, guy gets murdered. People online are
celebrating his murder. I use that phrase, and suddenly it's like, oh, hey,
come on, that's too far. Women are throwing themselves. They
are expressing fantasies about this guy. They're saying he couldn't
(01:50):
have done it, and even if he did, he's too
cute to go to jail. They they want this guy.
They think he's adorable. And I was so des gusted
upon seeing that until I started to think about this
from a different angle. If someone had been murdered by
a young woman who was attractive, every guy out there,
(02:15):
I mean every guy I know, would be like, eh, that.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Checks hot, and they'd move on.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
For I'd like to think that they wouldn't be, you know, posting, right, so,
I mean, certainly, no one I know it would be
posting anything online. But I'd get some private text messages
and certain groups I'm in from horrible guys that I'm
associated with, now, don't I don't know. I can't think
(02:42):
of an example at the top of my head where
you know, some deplorable murderer was suddenly held up as
some you know, swimsuit model. But the one thing that
does come to mind is a few years ago they'd
gotten this girl who was a Russian spy. She was
trying to you know, basic office and bed hop from
(03:03):
members of Congress and important and influential people in the
upper echelon of Washington, d C. This is someone who
was trying to get American secrets and sell them to
our enemies, the Russians.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I thought she was a Chinese spy.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Well, no, that happened too. Oh, but there was a
Russian spy who was doing that stuff too. And the
reason why I remember her is because I'm saying this
from a purely esthetic standpoint. It's just scientifically factual that
she was smoking hot and she was horrible person. I mean,
(03:40):
this is someone who was looking to take down this
nation I love. But man, was she easy on the eyes?
And you know she did to my knowledge, didn't murder anybody.
But if she did, I'd probably have to weigh out, like, well,
who was it?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Well, she probably caused the lot of a lot of death.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Probably, And I'm telling you this is you don't care,
and I want to care. But the fact that there
are women out there who are I mean some of
the stuff that's happened here. Gary Sadelmeyer mentioned this on
kfab's Morning News a couple of hours ago, that people
(04:22):
are looking to cash in on the sympathies that some
have expressed for the suspect. His face is on Christmas ornaments.
No better way to celebrate the birth of our Savior
than by putting an anti capitalist, fascist, murderous face on
(04:43):
a Christmas ornament and hanging that on the tree. But
that's what's happening. There are Christmas ornaments with his face.
You can buy shell casings that say deny, defend, and
depose on them, which police a New York said, we're
etched on the bullet shell casings at the crime scene
(05:05):
in New York. This has to do with a book
that is flying off the shelves here recently where let's
see here the yeah, here we go. Delay, deny, and
defend were the words that were found on the shellcasings
at the scene where the CEO of United Healthcare, Brian
(05:28):
Thompson was killed. And a book from twenty ten from
a Rutgers professor called Delay, Deny, Defend Why insurance companies
don't pay claims and what you can do about it?
Is climbing Amazon's bestseller list this past week. Could be
some people just want to see what all the fuss
(05:51):
was about. Some people are probably buying this as a
show of support inspired by the murderer who I don't know. Oh,
if we're ever going to get the details on what
exactly was going on with this guy? Was he working?
Did he have health insurance? Did he try and get
health insurance after some of the issues he'd have, What
(06:12):
worthy nature of the issues he's had? Was he actually
getting some level of treatment and health care asked to
pay something for it, which a lot of people just
frankly don't want to do. I don't want to pay
my deductible, I don't want to pay my premiums. I
don't want to pay anything on this. Why should I
have to pay for surgery that might help my comfort
(06:35):
and save my life? Why should I have to pay
for any of this stuff? Someone else should pay this stuff.
These guys have millions of dollars. Let them pay for it.
What do you mean you denied my experimental surgery? What
do you mean you denied my treatment because I wasn't
following doctor's orders on laying off the drugs or maybe
trying to get drugs that weren't prescribed to me, and
(06:57):
being a general menace in the healthcare. When are we
going to find out what exactly was going on with
this guy who's who is? I don't know that I'm
ever going to find out anything about him? And then
part two to that thought, I don't know that I
or we are ever going to find out anything about him.
It would cause those of us who don't find him
(07:18):
to be a martyr to think about him in that way.
But I know that book that he was apparently inspired
by is now on the number three spot on Amazon's
nonfiction bestseller list, right up there with all these other
books that Americans are just consuming all the time. Like
(07:40):
I know that there's a new Millana movie out, and
that's pretty exciting.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I couldn't tell you a nonfiction book right now. I'm
sure some politician wrote it.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Taylor Swift released a book about her concert tour.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
She gave one hundred and ninety seven million dollars Yeah
to her crew and.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yeah, the second best thing that any touring artist has
ever done on behalf of the crew.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Second best, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
The load Out by Jackson Brown one of the greatest
songs of all time. That's I mean, so Taylor Swift
goes on tour, makes a bazillion dy dollars and hands
out one hundred and ninety seven million dollars in bonuses
to several people who do the catering and do the lights,
who do the sound, to set up the stage and
all the rest of the stuff, do the pyrotechnics, fit
(08:33):
her into these little bunny costumes or whatever she's wearing.
She throws all this money around. I mean, these people
apparently got a very nice holiday bonus, and good for them.
That was very nice for her to do that. But
you know that money will be gone at some point,
and for decades from now, we'll still be listening to
the load out by Jackson Brown.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Good point.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Now the seats are all empty. Let their roadies take
the stage, set it up, tear it great song. So
I'd rather now they didn't get any money, but they
know when they hear that song that Jackson Brown probably
still gets a handsome royalty check for every month. They
know that song's about them and it's and that's very meaningful.
(09:18):
So where was I Oh, yeah, the book not a
big reader, but you know people are buying this book
fifty Shades of Murder. Women are buying If this guy
released a coffee table book just showing himself in various
shirtless poses, women to probably buy this up. Probably a
(09:39):
lot of guys would too. But on that one, I
have to willingly admit that the scumbags with whom I associate,
who all seem to have my cell phone number, would
probably text. And I know I'd get emails from people
in this audience saying, hey, that that murder check. She's hot,
(10:00):
wondering can she pose for Playboy before she goes to jail.
I know i'd get that stuff. Now, here's another weird
thing that's happened in the wake of what happened with
all of this. Someone just a couple of hours from
here is having to tell people stop calling and yelling
(10:22):
at us about healthcare. I'll explain next. There is a
group just a couple of hours away from Omaha saying
please stop calling us and yelling at us about healthcare.
In fact, it's a couple of different groups. You know
who it is, the police department in Altuna, Iowa, as
(10:44):
well as McDonald's in Altuona, Iowa. Do you understand why No,
the suspect in the United Healthcare murder who went ranting
crazily to the media yesterday as police were leading him
in to the police station. Yeah, he's not the guy
(11:05):
at all or anything. So he was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Altoona,
Iowa is of course famous here in the Midwest for
being a wonderful suburb of great city of Des Moines. Also, Altoona,
Iowa is where you find Adventureland if you're driving on
(11:30):
the Interstate and Adventureland is your destination. Once you see
the roller coasters popping up above the tree line, your
kids get real excited. Maybe you remember getting really excited
when you were a kid. And if you're traveling on
the interstate with your kids and adventurelanda is not your destination.
You just happen to be driving by your kids, get
(11:51):
really disappointed that you're not going there. But police are
in Altoona, Iowa are saying, look, this is the Altuna,
Iowa Police Department. Stop calling and yelling at us about healthcare,
about the murder of a United Healthcare CEO. This isn't us.
(12:16):
We have nothing to do with this. That happened in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
But people are just going online trying to find the
police in Altoona or McDonald's in Altuona, and they're yelling
at these people. Police noted that both McDonald's restaurants in Altoona, Iowa,
had received threats in line with the threats against the
(12:37):
Pennsylvania McDonald's where this suspect was arrested a couple of
days ago. So people in the Des Moines suburb of
Altoona are saying, look, we appreciate all the feedback. We're
not that guy. And as far as the people working
in McDonald's, they're like, look, we're making mc doubles, we're
(13:01):
making McNuggets, we're making mcflurri's, other things that start with
mc mc hammer, we're making mchammer, we're making we're doing food.
We don't have anything to do with this. So much
weird stuff happening here in the wake of this murder,
(13:21):
will of course keep our attention on it. Basically, the
last couple of nights, Lucy, I've just kind of gotten
a nap, and do you want to know what I've
been thinking about us. I've been lying there awake the
last couple of nights.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I do, because I would say I'm the same way
the last few nights.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
What has been keeping you awake?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Ah? Heat, heat, it hot?
Speaker 1 (13:47):
You got a ceiling fan you can turn on.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I have three fan four actually, so the ceiling fan,
two room fans, and then a desk fan.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yeah, all on. Yeah, Well that's is. I'm not sure
how much I'm allowed to say with this right now.
You probably I'm not.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Why don't you say, Oh.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I'll tell you exactly what I've been thinking about the
last couple of nights. I've been lying there awake nothing.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Oh that's even worse.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, and I don't understand. I mean little things like
it's so it's maybe that's it. It's all these little things,
none of which would keep me awake, but all of
them right now are just bombarding my stupid brain that
won't power down and shut off. And I'm not going
(14:41):
to start resorting to I really don't like doing this.
I don't like taking anything to help me sleep, because
if I start doing this now, I'll never sleep the
rest of my life. You know. If I if I
think like, oh, I can't get a good night's sleep
unless I take this, I don't want to start. It's
just a couple of nights, and this does happen once
(15:03):
in a while, but it's just so dumb. I'm sitting
there and it's like it's it's really it's a whole
bunch of nothing. Two o'clock this morning, I'm lying there
staring at the ceiling. I'm laughing to myself, thinking, I
think this, This thought sticks out, like what in the world,
(15:23):
Why in the world do I care? Or have I
suddenly been made to care about Pete haig Sath. It's
just one thought that popped up there. I didn't vote
for Pete Hegseth. He's a good looking guy. I didn't
vote for him. I voted for Trump. Trump said, here's
the team I want to help me do Trump stuff.
(15:43):
And suddenly it's like, oh, I don't know if we're
gonna get Pete Hegseth in there. What do you care?
Why has anyone been made to care about Pete or
any of these people that Trump wants. He got elected
and he gets a chance to build his own team,
and suddenly it's like, Wow, I don't know, some senators
might not like him. Hey tough, I don't know if
(16:04):
you noticed, but Trump got elected. Not only did Trump
get elected, I was also Then my next thought was,
these are the horrible things that you keep me awakened.
I say horrible because I should be. I have so
many blessings in my life, and it's just dumb stuff
like this. I just kind of start thinking about I
was trying to think by what measurement has Trump accomplished
(16:28):
more since being president elect about five weeks ago? Has
he accomplished more? Has America gone down a better path
in these last five weeks than under four years of
President Biden.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I would say that he has. But what I'm waiting
for is what's going to happen in the next four weeks.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
At December early January surprise.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
I don't know. I think it's hilarious that Time magazine
just announced its top ten finalists for twenty twenty four
Person of the Year, and they'll announce their winner tomorrow.
First of all, it's Trump. If it's not, then you're stretching.
This is one of the most amazing political comeback stories
(17:15):
of all time. It's not just someone who just missed
getting reelected four years ago. He got whooped and then
came back and laid down in his own whooping against
a political party, two political opponents on the top of
the Democratic ticket, and an entire media that's been painting
Trump as a dangerous, nihilistic threat to democracy.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
And he did it all well, get shot, right.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
And he got shot and there was another assassin they
had to take out of the bushes on his golf course.
So it it's Trump right. Here's the top here's in
no particular order. Well, I guess it is some particular order.
Alphabetical order by last name. The top ten finalists. Kamala Harris,
(18:08):
Kate Middleton. What has she done the last year? Well,
she had some sort of medical diagnosis. Some people thought
you disappeared dead. Yeah, and she came back. Elon Musk
Julia Navonaiah. This is the uh An economist who's been
(18:29):
dubbed the first lady of Putin's opposition in Russia. So
we have to might might have to give her that
preemptive honor Person of the Year before Putin has her
plane crashed. Benjamin net And Yahoo, Prime Minister of Israel,
Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Joe Rogan m.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
There's a good argument for that one.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Kamala should have done his podcast. Claudia Shinebaum, president of Mexico,
the fore mentioned president elect, some guy named Trump, and
then Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, Meta or whatever
you call it. All right, so it's Trump. Remember who
(19:17):
last year's Person of the Year was? Of course you don't.
No one does, no one. It doesn't make any difference anymore.
I don't know anyone to even buys Time Magazine.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I didn't know they still printed it.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I think they still print it. Seems like I've seen
it there at the checkout counters. But do you want
to take a guess who Time Magazine's Person of the
Year was for twenty twenty three? Ki no Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Well, she is a very generous person.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
You like that she gave that nice bonus to all
the roadies and the caterers and the people that run
the lights and the sound. Absolutely love Yeah, no, that
was that was fantastic on her part. But she's last
year's new So she got Person of the Year last year,
not even nominated this year.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Oh well, maybe you can't be Yeah you can. You
don't know the rules of Time, Yes.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
I do, I'm sure you can. Time Magazine names a
person or group or entity that had the biggest impact
on the world in the last twelve months, and right
now they're probably saying, oh, is it too late to
throw the United Healthcare murderer in there. They'd probably make
him Person to the Year.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I don't think he's had that big of an impact,
but I could see Joe Rogan or Trump in that.
In that description, yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
It's Trump. And if it's not Trump, then Time magazine
has just basically announced that they're also out of touch
with the American people. It's Trump. Who else has I mean,
it's Trump, whether you've voted for him or hate his guts.
He occupies all of the space, and he occupied whether
(21:00):
that's in the news, the political, the worldview. I mean,
just since he's been president elect, Mexico has stopped a
fentanyl shipment from coming into this country because they're trying
to play ball with what Trump wants to do with
border policy and tariff policy. Syria has been overthrown as
(21:20):
those rebels who are not Russian Iranian sikophants or are
looking to kill Israeli's suddenly have been emboldened to fight
back against oppressive regimes because they know they'll be supported
if they lean Western, whereas some of our allies like
Israel and Ukraine have not been supported these last few years.
(21:45):
What do you mean Ukraine hasn't been supported. We've been
giving them a bunch of money. Yes, we have. And
when did Putin invade Ukraine? Under President Biden and before
that under President Obama? Didn't do any of that under Trump?
And right now, I'm sure Putin's probably thinking, all right,
how do I get out of this? I mean, And
the stock market has gone through the roof with no
(22:07):
end in sight since Trump was was re elected, and
gas prices have gone down. So I mean, it looks
like to me the Trump has had more impact in
the five or so weeks since he's been elected than
Biden had in four years of allegedly being president.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Don't tell him, you can tell him anything, I'm talking about.
Don't tell Joe, I know, how.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Do you tell him anything? My goodness? So it's oh,
and then the other group, whether you're a fan of Trump,
whether you're somehow an indifferent observer of all this, or
whether you hate him, he also occupies all the thoughts
of the people who hate his guts, So of course
(22:54):
it's Trump, right, gotta be Oh, here's another thing that
is happen. It looks like the healthcare coverage for children
of US service members who are seeking transgender care is
going to like, looks like that money might run out.
(23:18):
This is prohibiting, expressly prohibiting coverage for minor children under
the military's Tricare health care program for medical interventions for
the treatment of gender dysphoria that could result in sterilization.
This is gender reassignment surgery, hormone blockers, chemical castration, and
(23:39):
some of the this isn't counseling. People are like, oh no,
people are gonna die. Go talk to a counselor still covered.
You can still talk to a counselor. You can talk
to me. I'll talk to you, you know.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I So Tricare was covering this.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Oh yeah. Under Biden and previously under President Obamba, gender
affirm and care was covered by military health health coverage
for service members children since September of twenty and sixteen.
If you're wondering how many are we talking about, like
(24:16):
five or six kids, statistical analysis published in a pediatric
journal here concluded that just over two thousand and five
hundred military affiliated youth received this treatment during a six
(24:37):
year stretch here twenty five hundred. These are this is
gender reassignment surgery, chemical castration, puberty blockers, and all kinds
of stuff. This is stuff that should not be done
to children. You want to do this as an adult,
happy birthday, turn eighteen nineteen, whatever that age might be,
(24:59):
and and then go out there and have at it.
But asking the taxpayers to pay for this kind of
treatment for kids, it's not treatment, it's it's absolutely disgusting
what they're what they're doing with kids. And it looks
like that might be finally taken out of the medical
health care program. Democrats are of course saying, oh, no,
(25:21):
kids are gonna die. No, they're not going to die.
They shouldn't die. If you say, well, we need to
have counselor, counselors are still paid for. You go talk
to a counselor. You're just not going to go talk
to a doctor who's going to say, all right, let's unnecessarily,
for no medical reason whatsoever, cut off a body part
of this kid. So they got So that's another thing.
(25:45):
This happened here since Trump got elected re elected president.
You know who I'm really impressed by though Nigel Richards.
He's known Lucy as the Tiger Woods of grabble, scrabble, scrabble.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Who even plays that anymore?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I do? I play against Zoe. Zoe is the computer
that you play against in the scrabble.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
App Well, I wanted to play once, but nobody will
play with me because I only know the three letter words.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
You know a lot of four letter words.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Ah, yeah, but those aren't allowed.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Fifty seven year old Nigel Richards the Tiger Woods of scrabble.
No offense to the Jack Nicholas of scrabble. But this
guy just won the scrabble competition in Spain.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Spai.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
N Yeah, but you got to put that p on
a triple letter score to really maximize it. But apple, Yeah, no,
he just won the scrabble competition in Spain. You know
what's impressive about that? He doesn't speak Spanish. A few
(27:04):
years ago he won the scrabble competition in France. Is
he guess what he doesn't speak Fred?
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Oh well no, wait a minute, is he using words
that are French?
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Does he get to use a dictionary?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
No, no, you don't get to use a dictionary. Here's
what happens.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
He a friend of his tell.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
CNN that leading up to the French win, he studied
the French dictionary for nine weeks, and leading up to
this competition in Spain, he studied the Spanish word list
for about a year. He doesn't even know what the
words mean. He just memorizes the words and he's able
to apply them in playing scrabble. At one point he's
(27:52):
held the British, US and World Scrabble titles all at
the same time. That's the Tree Triple Lindy of scrabble titles.
There's your eighties movie reference for this segment of the
radio program. It's not a Grand Slam because it's not
four titles. So I went with the Triple Lindy, the
Triple Lindy Lucy.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
That would be Caddyshack.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Rodney Dangerfield is in both movies, but you get the
movie wrong.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
School Back to School.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yes, School, back to School. This guy is absolutely bunkers
when it comes to scrabble. I think he just gets
lucky and gets the Z in the queue all the time,
and probably the two uh the blanks where you get
to put your own letter in there.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I don't believe it.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
I think I could beat him I believe he.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Won, but I don't believe he won because he memorized
what the words looked like.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Why don't you have some faith in humanity? From time
to time, there are some impressive There are some impressive
people out there who choose not to become political or
social martyrs or pariah or leaders. Sometimes they just want
to hang out and play scrabble.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
I absolutely understand there are some impressive people out there.
I see one every single day, thank you. When I
look in the mirror.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Oh, Lucy is taking a look at the pictures that
were sent to me near one hundred and sixty eighth
and center of what is described as a big old coyote.
And I sent them to Lucy, and she said, that's
a dog, it's a coyote. It might be a coyote,
(29:35):
depending on your pronunciation.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
That is, that's a husky or something mixed.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
No, it's a coyote.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
It could be it could be a wolf hybrid. It
could be a husky and wolf.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
All right, Well, then let me send you this picture
I got from.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Wiley.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Gary says it could be a Koi wolf. Seriously, they're
all over the Midwest right now. That's from Gary Sadlemeyer.
We got Koi Wolf's Kai wolf's Koi wolfs it's a
coyote wolf mix. What are you animals doing out there?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I was thinking it kind of has a human face
on it. It could be a were wolf.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
It could be a werewolf. Well here take a look
at this. What are are these dogs too? I mean
forward these to you. This was sent in Millard.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Hey, you're sending pictures of my old boyfriends. No, these
are these dogs?
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Do you?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Eh?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
My phone doesn't want to forward. Here we go. I
want to forward this and never mind they're wolves. Trust me.
Listen to me play with my phone. On the radio.
I'm Scott Vorhees. There's Lucy Chapman. This is news radio
eleven ten kfab. It's not a dog. It's a coyote.
(30:52):
One hundred and sixty eighth and center, big old coyote
out there by lakeside.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
The picture you sent is not a coyote, and I
would be able to be convinced it was a wolf.
But I'm saying a dog. That's a dog.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
I think it's probably I think it'd probably be worse
if it's a dog. I think a dog would be
more likely to bite or attack someone if it's just
roaming around, whereas coyotes tend to be more skittish and
they don't attack humans all that much, but they'll come
after your little dog. So you got to watch out there,
is if you're anywhere in the sound of my voice,
(31:28):
apparently we just got wild animals running all over the place,
and this one's out there by Lakeside Hospital, probably complaining
about some level of healthcare it didn't receive.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
I think, and I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong,
but I don't think that there is a record of
a wolf attack a wolf attacking a person, a human
without being cornered or just but just to come and
stalk them and to attack them. I don't think wolves
will do that.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Well, I think they will, but I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Well, if you're a rabbit, could be.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
I'm sure it's happened. But you know, if we're going
to make martyrs and heroes out of those who just
attack people, then I think that this wolf could or
this coyote could be a hero for Omaha Prety soon,
as are the wild animals who are destroying the storefronts,
(32:30):
big glass windows, storefronts of businesses in Benson. There's a
guy who runs the super groovy psychedelic bodega smoke shop.
There's a smoke shop here in town. We found one,
and they said that the people come along there and
they like to shoot out the windows and try and
(32:51):
destroy the windows. So they put in shatterproof glass. It
costs the store owners two thousand dollars, but it was
well worth it when someone came up with a hammer
and tried to destroy it, and the hammer bounced off
the shatterproof glass there and hit the person trying to
smash the storefront right in the chest. That's worth every
(33:11):
penny right there. That story from WOWT First Alert six
news and so. But the people trying to smash these
storefronts are probably heroes. And here's a woman in Missouri.
I don't know if she's hot, like the guy who
killed the United Healthcare CEO. But here's a woman in
Missouri who went to her bank. You know those those
(33:34):
evil bank you know, leaders, presidents, CEOs, board members, whatever, shareholders,
all these fat cats denying you all that money. So
she goes to her bank, Sullivan Bank in Saint Louis area,
and went to the drive through section of the bank
(33:54):
and a guy who's a bank employee was there installing
Christmas lights there at the drive through and said, oh, well,
they're not open right now. I don't know what day
and time. But she tried to go to her bank
drive through and this bank employee who's there putting up
Christmas lights said, sorry, ma'am, drive through is not open
right now. The bank is closed for the day. Please
(34:15):
come back tomorrow. So she did what any good martyr
would do, ran him over with her car. So when
does she get to be a hero when we know
he didn't but he's taken to the hospital for injuries.
She's been arrested again. If she's hot, then probably the
same people will think this guy who murdered the United
(34:35):
Healthcare CEO would probably think that she's something special too.
We should put her face on Christmas ornaments and all
the rest of this stuff. With all this news going
on there, I need this. We've got something. If you
love the nineties as much as I do, then I
think you'll be just as happy as I am. That's
(34:57):
something that was a staple here during that decade is
coming back to Omaha. You know what that is, Lucy, I.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Don't know what that is Scott Guitar.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Scanner getting guitars and Cadillacs back Street.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Where did it go?
Speaker 1 (35:18):
It went away?
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Why did we lose it? Alright?
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Well, I don't know. People stopped boot Scooting and it
closed in two thousand and three after being open in
Omaha in late eighties, like nineteen eighty eight, eighty nine,
and then really found its its boot scooting feet during
the explosion of country music popularity nineteen ninety one, ninety two,
(35:44):
ninety three, when I just happened to be not old
enough to get into the bars, but old enough to
go to teen Night at Guitars and Cadillacs. I forget
which night that was. I want to say it was Thursday,
but man, that was a fun time. Oh did I
like dancing there?
Speaker 2 (35:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (36:00):
I hate dancing. I'm a terrible dancer and I don't
like dancing. But did I go out there and dance? Yeah?
You know why? Girls there were girls there tight jeans.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
The building's gone though.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Yeah, they're gonna move to a different location.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
That's good. Since the building's gone.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Yeah, is the building gone or is it like a yeah?
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Because isn't that the building that became Nicos?
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Maybe I can't remember it before Guitars.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Well, I know that it's moving into a new location.
Story here from KMTV three says that they'll be open
in April or May in the new Miracle Hills Park.
Stuff that's happening there on one hundred and fourteenth to Dodge.
It's Lower Dodge on the north side of Dodge on
(36:52):
one hundred and fourteenth where a bunch of great stuff
used to be and now it's been like closed down
grocery stores and restaurants and buildings that got demolished and
DJ's dugout. But now I mean DJ's is still over there.
There's a really great Indian restaurant over there, the Funny
Bones going back over there. It used to be there
(37:14):
Funny Bone Comedy Club. And they're gonna do the new
Guitars and Cadillacs there in the spring. They're looking to
make that little area and entertainment haven once again.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Is it going to be the same owners?
Speaker 1 (37:30):
That is an excellent question. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Because Guitars and Catallics might that might be a franchise
or a name that is just on a lot of buildings,
but somebody owns the name. I don't we should get
together before the show and talk about this kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
Scanning the why you think it would help? No, I
know that they talk about how Guitars and Cadillacs opened
in Kansas City in nineteen eighty eight and then shortly
thereafter in Omaha where it was here and popular until
it closed in April of two thousand and three.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
That's what makes me think it's a franchise.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Yeah, well, I don't know if it's a franchise. I
mean it's a couple of businesses that I don't know
if they had the same owners or what. But this
is this is going to be a new Guitars and
Cadillacts and frankly, I don't care who owns it. Well,
the only reason if they're going to don't know if
it's going to be the same what, well, what do
you the same?
Speaker 2 (38:32):
What is going to do concerts?
Speaker 1 (38:34):
It's gonna have a dance floor and there's gonna be
country music in there. What exactly is it that you want?
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Are there still going to be concerts? I mean this, Uh,
the Guitars and Cadillacs that was on the other side
of Dodge right about the same place. This is where
they would have people like Chris LaDou and they had
big names, big names to people who like country music.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Right, Okay, so I so I want to know if.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
They're still doing concerts because this could be really cool.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Right. I like that you're trying to hold someone's feet
to the fire on this. You're not gonna go because
something's very different now than it was in the nineties. Us,
we're we're old. This isn't This isn't for us. There'll
be people our age who go, but it's gonna be
(39:19):
for this next generation of kids who want to go
to teen night and those in their twenties who are
fun and it can do some bootscooting without breaking a hip.
This isn't for us.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Bring Billy Dean in. I will go. So if they're
gonna have concerts, that's what you need to do to
get me there, right.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
You know, if you're if you're thinking, oh, a good
place for country music? Are they gonna be able to
book Jim Reeves, this isn't for you. Conwoy Twitty, I
love that you're like, well, is it gonna be the same,
Like you're not going. Someone sent me something the other
day said, when were young, we used to sneak out
of our homes to go to parties. Now we sneak
(39:58):
out of parties to go back home. Oh, I got
some emails here that said it is the two of
the original owners are doing this again. Lindsay email says Scott,
I'm forty three years old. And then that's all. No,
she she says, When I was a kid, my parents went,
(40:21):
and that's when it was country music at that club.
They went to all sorts of concerts, did line dancing
on the weekends. We had a babysitter at home. In
my early twenties, it was hip hop music on the weekends.
Most of my sins were committed there growing up. Oh,
they did a wet t shirt contest too. Need I
go on? Yes? Oh, I say. My husband is excited
(40:44):
for it to reopen. His drink of choice was UV
blue vodka and vodka. Lindsey, I want to hang out
with you and your husband. You sound like a fun couple.
I'd like to especially like to hang out with you
in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
And they're younger than you, I know, well just by
a couple of years.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Yeah. And then I got a few other people that said, yes,
it was Thursday Night was teen Night at Guitars and Cadillacs.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Do you think that they could still do a teen night?
Speaker 1 (41:16):
That's what I was starting to say, until you started
chastising me and telling me, I want to know who's
owning this place. Okay, I don't know in that location,
maybe because you don't naturally have a giant group of
teenagers who are just hanging around, but they'll probably find it.
(41:37):
There are a lot of people who said we're going
to do a fun teen night and then a few
months later say, oh no, this is a terrible idea,
and they shut it down. We shall see that's next spring.
Scott Voices mornings nine to eleven on news Radio eleven
ten KFAB
Scott Vorgies. I have been over the past week and
a half decrying, not, of course, just the murder of
the CEO of United Healthcare and Iowa native, a family man,
father of two sons. I seemingly am seemingly one of
the very few who is doing that. But I've also
(00:23):
been decrying the martyrdom martyrdom that his murderer has enjoyed
in social media circles. And there's one really disgusting thing
related to the adoration of this murderer that I actually
have to come to my senses on and begrudgingly admit
(00:45):
that I understand a part of this and has nothing
to do with healthcare, has nothing to do with the
denial of insurance claims. And this lie that's out there
that people are dying every day is billionaires are getting
rich and filling their pockets by saying I deny that.
(01:05):
You know that that child doesn't need to live, You
know that that there's a lie that this is going on,
But it has nothing to do with any of that,
and instead has to do with apparently a legion of
many young women on essentially throwing their panties at this murderer. Sorry,
(01:29):
I know I don't. I don't know how. I mean,
all right, so, wait, guy gets murdered. People online are
celebrating his murder. I use that phrase, and suddenly it's like, oh, hey,
come on, that's too far. Women are throwing themselves. They
are expressing fantasies about this guy. They're saying he couldn't
(01:50):
have done it, and even if he did, he's too
cute to go to jail. They they want this guy.
They think he's adorable. And I was so des gusted
upon seeing that until I started to think about this
from a different angle. If someone had been murdered by
a young woman who was attractive, every guy out there,
(02:15):
I mean every guy I know, would be like, eh, that.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Checks hot, and they'd move on.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
For I'd like to think that they wouldn't be, you know, posting, right, so,
I mean, certainly, no one I know it would be
posting anything online. But I'd get some private text messages
and certain groups I'm in from horrible guys that I'm
associated with, now, don't I don't know. I can't think
(02:42):
of an example at the top of my head where
you know, some deplorable murderer was suddenly held up as
some you know, swimsuit model. But the one thing that
does come to mind is a few years ago they'd
gotten this girl who was a Russian spy. She was
trying to you know, basic office and bed hop from
(03:03):
members of Congress and important and influential people in the
upper echelon of Washington, d C. This is someone who
was trying to get American secrets and sell them to
our enemies, the Russians.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I thought she was a Chinese spy.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Well, no, that happened too. Oh, but there was a
Russian spy who was doing that stuff too. And the
reason why I remember her is because I'm saying this
from a purely esthetic standpoint. It's just scientifically factual that
she was smoking hot and she was horrible person. I mean,
(03:40):
this is someone who was looking to take down this
nation I love. But man, was she easy on the eyes?
And you know she did to my knowledge, didn't murder anybody.
But if she did, I'd probably have to weigh out, like, well,
who was it?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Well, she probably caused the lot of a lot of death.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Probably, And I'm telling you this is you don't care,
and I want to care. But the fact that there
are women out there who are I mean some of
the stuff that's happened here. Gary Sadelmeyer mentioned this on
kfab's Morning News a couple of hours ago, that people
(04:22):
are looking to cash in on the sympathies that some
have expressed for the suspect. His face is on Christmas ornaments.
No better way to celebrate the birth of our Savior
than by putting an anti capitalist, fascist, murderous face on
(04:43):
a Christmas ornament and hanging that on the tree. But
that's what's happening. There are Christmas ornaments with his face.
You can buy shell casings that say deny, defend, and
depose on them, which police a New York said, we're
etched on the bullet shell casings at the crime scene
(05:05):
in New York. This has to do with a book
that is flying off the shelves here recently where let's
see here the yeah, here we go. Delay, deny, and
defend were the words that were found on the shellcasings
at the scene where the CEO of United Healthcare, Brian
(05:28):
Thompson was killed. And a book from twenty ten from
a Rutgers professor called Delay, Deny, Defend Why insurance companies
don't pay claims and what you can do about it?
Is climbing Amazon's bestseller list this past week. Could be
some people just want to see what all the fuss
(05:51):
was about. Some people are probably buying this as a
show of support inspired by the murderer who I don't know. Oh,
if we're ever going to get the details on what
exactly was going on with this guy? Was he working?
Did he have health insurance? Did he try and get
health insurance after some of the issues he'd have, What
(06:12):
worthy nature of the issues he's had? Was he actually
getting some level of treatment and health care asked to
pay something for it, which a lot of people just
frankly don't want to do. I don't want to pay
my deductible, I don't want to pay my premiums. I
don't want to pay anything on this. Why should I
have to pay for surgery that might help my comfort
(06:35):
and save my life? Why should I have to pay
for any of this stuff? Someone else should pay this stuff.
These guys have millions of dollars. Let them pay for it.
What do you mean you denied my experimental surgery? What
do you mean you denied my treatment because I wasn't
following doctor's orders on laying off the drugs or maybe
trying to get drugs that weren't prescribed to me, and
(06:57):
being a general menace in the healthcare. When are we
going to find out what exactly was going on with
this guy who's who is? I don't know that I'm
ever going to find out anything about him? And then
part two to that thought, I don't know that I
or we are ever going to find out anything about him.
It would cause those of us who don't find him
(07:18):
to be a martyr to think about him in that way.
But I know that book that he was apparently inspired
by is now on the number three spot on Amazon's
nonfiction bestseller list, right up there with all these other
books that Americans are just consuming all the time. Like
(07:40):
I know that there's a new Millana movie out, and
that's pretty exciting.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I couldn't tell you a nonfiction book right now. I'm
sure some politician wrote it.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Taylor Swift released a book about her concert tour.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
She gave one hundred and ninety seven million dollars Yeah
to her crew and.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Yeah, the second best thing that any touring artist has
ever done on behalf of the crew.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Second best, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
The load Out by Jackson Brown one of the greatest
songs of all time. That's I mean, so Taylor Swift
goes on tour, makes a bazillion dy dollars and hands
out one hundred and ninety seven million dollars in bonuses
to several people who do the catering and do the lights,
who do the sound, to set up the stage and
all the rest of the stuff, do the pyrotechnics, fit
(08:33):
her into these little bunny costumes or whatever she's wearing.
She throws all this money around. I mean, these people
apparently got a very nice holiday bonus, and good for them.
That was very nice for her to do that. But
you know that money will be gone at some point,
and for decades from now, we'll still be listening to
the load out by Jackson Brown.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Good point.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Now the seats are all empty. Let their roadies take
the stage, set it up, tear it great song. So
I'd rather now they didn't get any money, but they
know when they hear that song that Jackson Brown probably
still gets a handsome royalty check for every month. They
know that song's about them and it's and that's very meaningful.
(09:18):
So where was I Oh, yeah, the book not a
big reader, but you know people are buying this book
fifty Shades of Murder. Women are buying If this guy
released a coffee table book just showing himself in various
shirtless poses, women to probably buy this up. Probably a
(09:39):
lot of guys would too. But on that one, I
have to willingly admit that the scumbags with whom I associate,
who all seem to have my cell phone number, would
probably text. And I know I'd get emails from people
in this audience saying, hey, that that murder check. She's hot,
(10:00):
wondering can she pose for Playboy before she goes to jail.
I know i'd get that stuff. Now, here's another weird
thing that's happened in the wake of what happened with
all of this. Someone just a couple of hours from
here is having to tell people stop calling and yelling
(10:22):
at us about healthcare. I'll explain next. There is a
group just a couple of hours away from Omaha saying
please stop calling us and yelling at us about healthcare.
In fact, it's a couple of different groups. You know
who it is, the police department in Altuna, Iowa, as
(10:44):
well as McDonald's in Altuona, Iowa. Do you understand why No,
the suspect in the United Healthcare murder who went ranting
crazily to the media yesterday as police were leading him
in to the police station. Yeah, he's not the guy
(11:05):
at all or anything. So he was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Altoona,
Iowa is of course famous here in the Midwest for
being a wonderful suburb of great city of Des Moines. Also, Altoona,
Iowa is where you find Adventureland if you're driving on
(11:30):
the Interstate and Adventureland is your destination. Once you see
the roller coasters popping up above the tree line, your
kids get real excited. Maybe you remember getting really excited
when you were a kid. And if you're traveling on
the interstate with your kids and adventurelanda is not your destination.
You just happen to be driving by your kids, get
(11:51):
really disappointed that you're not going there. But police are
in Altoona, Iowa are saying, look, this is the Altuna,
Iowa Police Department. Stop calling and yelling at us about healthcare,
about the murder of a United Healthcare CEO. This isn't us.
(12:16):
We have nothing to do with this. That happened in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
But people are just going online trying to find the
police in Altoona or McDonald's in Altuona, and they're yelling
at these people. Police noted that both McDonald's restaurants in Altoona, Iowa,
had received threats in line with the threats against the
(12:37):
Pennsylvania McDonald's where this suspect was arrested a couple of
days ago. So people in the Des Moines suburb of
Altoona are saying, look, we appreciate all the feedback. We're
not that guy. And as far as the people working
in McDonald's, they're like, look, we're making mc doubles, we're
(13:01):
making McNuggets, we're making mcflurri's, other things that start with
mc mc hammer, we're making mchammer, we're making we're doing food.
We don't have anything to do with this. So much
weird stuff happening here in the wake of this murder,
(13:21):
will of course keep our attention on it. Basically, the
last couple of nights, Lucy, I've just kind of gotten
a nap, and do you want to know what I've
been thinking about us. I've been lying there awake the
last couple of nights.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I do, because I would say I'm the same way
the last few nights.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
What has been keeping you awake?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Ah? Heat, heat, it hot?
Speaker 1 (13:47):
You got a ceiling fan you can turn on.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I have three fan four actually, so the ceiling fan,
two room fans, and then a desk fan.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yeah, all on. Yeah, Well that's is. I'm not sure
how much I'm allowed to say with this right now.
You probably I'm not.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Why don't you say, Oh.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I'll tell you exactly what I've been thinking about the
last couple of nights. I've been lying there awake nothing.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Oh that's even worse.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, and I don't understand. I mean little things like
it's so it's maybe that's it. It's all these little things,
none of which would keep me awake, but all of
them right now are just bombarding my stupid brain that
won't power down and shut off. And I'm not going
(14:41):
to start resorting to I really don't like doing this.
I don't like taking anything to help me sleep, because
if I start doing this now, I'll never sleep the
rest of my life. You know. If I if I
think like, oh, I can't get a good night's sleep
unless I take this, I don't want to start. It's
just a couple of nights, and this does happen once
(15:03):
in a while, but it's just so dumb. I'm sitting
there and it's like it's it's really it's a whole
bunch of nothing. Two o'clock this morning, I'm lying there
staring at the ceiling. I'm laughing to myself, thinking, I
think this, This thought sticks out, like what in the world,
(15:23):
Why in the world do I care? Or have I
suddenly been made to care about Pete haig Sath. It's
just one thought that popped up there. I didn't vote
for Pete Hegseth. He's a good looking guy. I didn't
vote for him. I voted for Trump. Trump said, here's
the team I want to help me do Trump stuff.
(15:43):
And suddenly it's like, oh, I don't know if we're
gonna get Pete Hegseth in there. What do you care?
Why has anyone been made to care about Pete or
any of these people that Trump wants. He got elected
and he gets a chance to build his own team,
and suddenly it's like, Wow, I don't know, some senators
might not like him. Hey tough, I don't know if
(16:04):
you noticed, but Trump got elected. Not only did Trump
get elected, I was also Then my next thought was,
these are the horrible things that you keep me awakened.
I say horrible because I should be. I have so
many blessings in my life, and it's just dumb stuff
like this. I just kind of start thinking about I
was trying to think by what measurement has Trump accomplished
(16:28):
more since being president elect about five weeks ago? Has
he accomplished more? Has America gone down a better path
in these last five weeks than under four years of
President Biden.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I would say that he has. But what I'm waiting
for is what's going to happen in the next four weeks.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
At December early January surprise.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
I don't know. I think it's hilarious that Time magazine
just announced its top ten finalists for twenty twenty four
Person of the Year, and they'll announce their winner tomorrow.
First of all, it's Trump. If it's not, then you're stretching.
This is one of the most amazing political comeback stories
(17:15):
of all time. It's not just someone who just missed
getting reelected four years ago. He got whooped and then
came back and laid down in his own whooping against
a political party, two political opponents on the top of
the Democratic ticket, and an entire media that's been painting
Trump as a dangerous, nihilistic threat to democracy.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
And he did it all well, get shot, right.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
And he got shot and there was another assassin they
had to take out of the bushes on his golf course.
So it it's Trump right. Here's the top here's in
no particular order. Well, I guess it is some particular order.
Alphabetical order by last name. The top ten finalists. Kamala Harris,
(18:08):
Kate Middleton. What has she done the last year? Well,
she had some sort of medical diagnosis. Some people thought
you disappeared dead. Yeah, and she came back. Elon Musk
Julia Navonaiah. This is the uh An economist who's been
(18:29):
dubbed the first lady of Putin's opposition in Russia. So
we have to might might have to give her that
preemptive honor Person of the Year before Putin has her
plane crashed. Benjamin net And Yahoo, Prime Minister of Israel,
Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Joe Rogan m.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
There's a good argument for that one.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Kamala should have done his podcast. Claudia Shinebaum, president of Mexico,
the fore mentioned president elect, some guy named Trump, and
then Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, Meta or whatever
you call it. All right, so it's Trump. Remember who
(19:17):
last year's Person of the Year was? Of course you don't.
No one does, no one. It doesn't make any difference anymore.
I don't know anyone to even buys Time Magazine.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I didn't know they still printed it.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I think they still print it. Seems like I've seen
it there at the checkout counters. But do you want
to take a guess who Time Magazine's Person of the
Year was for twenty twenty three? Ki no Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Well, she is a very generous person.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
You like that she gave that nice bonus to all
the roadies and the caterers and the people that run
the lights and the sound. Absolutely love Yeah, no, that
was that was fantastic on her part. But she's last
year's new So she got Person of the Year last year,
not even nominated this year.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Oh well, maybe you can't be Yeah you can. You
don't know the rules of Time, Yes.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
I do, I'm sure you can. Time Magazine names a
person or group or entity that had the biggest impact
on the world in the last twelve months, and right
now they're probably saying, oh, is it too late to
throw the United Healthcare murderer in there. They'd probably make
him Person to the Year.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I don't think he's had that big of an impact,
but I could see Joe Rogan or Trump in that.
In that description, yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
It's Trump. And if it's not Trump, then Time magazine
has just basically announced that they're also out of touch
with the American people. It's Trump. Who else has I mean,
it's Trump, whether you've voted for him or hate his guts.
He occupies all of the space, and he occupied whether
(21:00):
that's in the news, the political, the worldview. I mean,
just since he's been president elect, Mexico has stopped a
fentanyl shipment from coming into this country because they're trying
to play ball with what Trump wants to do with
border policy and tariff policy. Syria has been overthrown as
(21:20):
those rebels who are not Russian Iranian sikophants or are
looking to kill Israeli's suddenly have been emboldened to fight
back against oppressive regimes because they know they'll be supported
if they lean Western, whereas some of our allies like
Israel and Ukraine have not been supported these last few years.
(21:45):
What do you mean Ukraine hasn't been supported. We've been
giving them a bunch of money. Yes, we have. And
when did Putin invade Ukraine? Under President Biden and before
that under President Obama? Didn't do any of that under Trump?
And right now, I'm sure Putin's probably thinking, all right,
how do I get out of this? I mean, And
the stock market has gone through the roof with no
(22:07):
end in sight since Trump was was re elected, and
gas prices have gone down. So I mean, it looks
like to me the Trump has had more impact in
the five or so weeks since he's been elected than
Biden had in four years of allegedly being president.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Don't tell him, you can tell him anything, I'm talking about.
Don't tell Joe, I know, how.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Do you tell him anything? My goodness? So it's oh,
and then the other group, whether you're a fan of Trump,
whether you're somehow an indifferent observer of all this, or
whether you hate him, he also occupies all the thoughts
of the people who hate his guts, So of course
(22:54):
it's Trump, right, gotta be Oh, here's another thing that
is happen. It looks like the healthcare coverage for children
of US service members who are seeking transgender care is
going to like, looks like that money might run out.
(23:18):
This is prohibiting, expressly prohibiting coverage for minor children under
the military's Tricare health care program for medical interventions for
the treatment of gender dysphoria that could result in sterilization.
This is gender reassignment surgery, hormone blockers, chemical castration, and
(23:39):
some of the this isn't counseling. People are like, oh no,
people are gonna die. Go talk to a counselor still covered.
You can still talk to a counselor. You can talk
to me. I'll talk to you, you know.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I So Tricare was covering this.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Oh yeah. Under Biden and previously under President Obamba, gender
affirm and care was covered by military health health coverage
for service members children since September of twenty and sixteen.
If you're wondering how many are we talking about, like
(24:16):
five or six kids, statistical analysis published in a pediatric
journal here concluded that just over two thousand and five
hundred military affiliated youth received this treatment during a six
(24:37):
year stretch here twenty five hundred. These are this is
gender reassignment surgery, chemical castration, puberty blockers, and all kinds
of stuff. This is stuff that should not be done
to children. You want to do this as an adult,
happy birthday, turn eighteen nineteen, whatever that age might be,
(24:59):
and and then go out there and have at it.
But asking the taxpayers to pay for this kind of
treatment for kids, it's not treatment, it's it's absolutely disgusting
what they're what they're doing with kids. And it looks
like that might be finally taken out of the medical
health care program. Democrats are of course saying, oh, no,
(25:21):
kids are gonna die. No, they're not going to die.
They shouldn't die. If you say, well, we need to
have counselor, counselors are still paid for. You go talk
to a counselor. You're just not going to go talk
to a doctor who's going to say, all right, let's unnecessarily,
for no medical reason whatsoever, cut off a body part
of this kid. So they got So that's another thing.
(25:45):
This happened here since Trump got elected re elected president.
You know who I'm really impressed by though Nigel Richards.
He's known Lucy as the Tiger Woods of grabble, scrabble, scrabble.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Who even plays that anymore?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I do? I play against Zoe. Zoe is the computer
that you play against in the scrabble.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
App Well, I wanted to play once, but nobody will
play with me because I only know the three letter words.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
You know a lot of four letter words.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Ah, yeah, but those aren't allowed.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Fifty seven year old Nigel Richards the Tiger Woods of scrabble.
No offense to the Jack Nicholas of scrabble. But this
guy just won the scrabble competition in Spain.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Spai.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
N Yeah, but you got to put that p on
a triple letter score to really maximize it. But apple, Yeah, no,
he just won the scrabble competition in Spain. You know
what's impressive about that? He doesn't speak Spanish. A few
(27:04):
years ago he won the scrabble competition in France. Is
he guess what he doesn't speak Fred?
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Oh well no, wait a minute, is he using words
that are French?
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Does he get to use a dictionary?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
No, no, you don't get to use a dictionary. Here's
what happens.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
He a friend of his tell.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
CNN that leading up to the French win, he studied
the French dictionary for nine weeks, and leading up to
this competition in Spain, he studied the Spanish word list
for about a year. He doesn't even know what the
words mean. He just memorizes the words and he's able
to apply them in playing scrabble. At one point he's
(27:52):
held the British, US and World Scrabble titles all at
the same time. That's the Tree Triple Lindy of scrabble titles.
There's your eighties movie reference for this segment of the
radio program. It's not a Grand Slam because it's not
four titles. So I went with the Triple Lindy, the
Triple Lindy Lucy.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
That would be Caddyshack.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Rodney Dangerfield is in both movies, but you get the
movie wrong.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
School Back to School.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Yes, School, back to School. This guy is absolutely bunkers
when it comes to scrabble. I think he just gets
lucky and gets the Z in the queue all the time,
and probably the two uh the blanks where you get
to put your own letter in there.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
I don't believe it.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
I think I could beat him I believe he.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Won, but I don't believe he won because he memorized
what the words looked like.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Why don't you have some faith in humanity? From time
to time, there are some impressive There are some impressive
people out there who choose not to become political or
social martyrs or pariah or leaders. Sometimes they just want
to hang out and play scrabble.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
I absolutely understand there are some impressive people out there.
I see one every single day, thank you. When I
look in the mirror.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Oh, Lucy is taking a look at the pictures that
were sent to me near one hundred and sixty eighth
and center of what is described as a big old coyote.
And I sent them to Lucy, and she said, that's
a dog, it's a coyote. It might be a coyote,
(29:35):
depending on your pronunciation.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
That is, that's a husky or something mixed.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
No, it's a coyote.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
It could be it could be a wolf hybrid. It
could be a husky and wolf.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
All right, Well, then let me send you this picture
I got from.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Wiley.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Gary says it could be a Koi wolf. Seriously, they're
all over the Midwest right now. That's from Gary Sadlemeyer.
We got Koi Wolf's Kai wolf's Koi wolfs it's a
coyote wolf mix. What are you animals doing out there?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I was thinking it kind of has a human face
on it. It could be a were wolf.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
It could be a werewolf. Well here take a look
at this. What are are these dogs too? I mean
forward these to you. This was sent in Millard.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Hey, you're sending pictures of my old boyfriends. No, these
are these dogs?
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Do you?
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Eh?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
My phone doesn't want to forward. Here we go. I
want to forward this and never mind they're wolves. Trust me.
Listen to me play with my phone. On the radio.
I'm Scott Vorhees. There's Lucy Chapman. This is news radio
eleven ten kfab. It's not a dog. It's a coyote.
(30:52):
One hundred and sixty eighth and center, big old coyote
out there by lakeside.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
The picture you sent is not a coyote, and I
would be able to be convinced it was a wolf.
But I'm saying a dog. That's a dog.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
I think it's probably I think it'd probably be worse
if it's a dog. I think a dog would be
more likely to bite or attack someone if it's just
roaming around, whereas coyotes tend to be more skittish and
they don't attack humans all that much, but they'll come
after your little dog. So you got to watch out there,
is if you're anywhere in the sound of my voice,
(31:28):
apparently we just got wild animals running all over the place,
and this one's out there by Lakeside Hospital, probably complaining
about some level of healthcare it didn't receive.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
I think, and I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong,
but I don't think that there is a record of
a wolf attack a wolf attacking a person, a human
without being cornered or just but just to come and
stalk them and to attack them. I don't think wolves
will do that.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Well, I think they will, but I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Well, if you're a rabbit, could be.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
I'm sure it's happened. But you know, if we're going
to make martyrs and heroes out of those who just
attack people, then I think that this wolf could or
this coyote could be a hero for Omaha Prety soon,
as are the wild animals who are destroying the storefronts,
(32:30):
big glass windows, storefronts of businesses in Benson. There's a
guy who runs the super groovy psychedelic bodega smoke shop.
There's a smoke shop here in town. We found one,
and they said that the people come along there and
they like to shoot out the windows and try and
(32:51):
destroy the windows. So they put in shatterproof glass. It
costs the store owners two thousand dollars, but it was
well worth it when someone came up with a hammer
and tried to destroy it, and the hammer bounced off
the shatterproof glass there and hit the person trying to
smash the storefront right in the chest. That's worth every
(33:11):
penny right there. That story from WOWT First Alert six
news and so. But the people trying to smash these
storefronts are probably heroes. And here's a woman in Missouri.
I don't know if she's hot, like the guy who
killed the United Healthcare CEO. But here's a woman in
Missouri who went to her bank. You know those those
(33:34):
evil bank you know, leaders, presidents, CEOs, board members, whatever, shareholders,
all these fat cats denying you all that money. So
she goes to her bank, Sullivan Bank in Saint Louis area,
and went to the drive through section of the bank
(33:54):
and a guy who's a bank employee was there installing
Christmas lights there at the drive through and said, oh, well,
they're not open right now. I don't know what day
and time. But she tried to go to her bank
drive through and this bank employee who's there putting up
Christmas lights said, sorry, ma'am, drive through is not open
right now. The bank is closed for the day. Please
(34:15):
come back tomorrow. So she did what any good martyr
would do, ran him over with her car. So when
does she get to be a hero when we know
he didn't but he's taken to the hospital for injuries.
She's been arrested again. If she's hot, then probably the
same people will think this guy who murdered the United
(34:35):
Healthcare CEO would probably think that she's something special too.
We should put her face on Christmas ornaments and all
the rest of this stuff. With all this news going
on there, I need this. We've got something. If you
love the nineties as much as I do, then I
think you'll be just as happy as I am. That's
(34:57):
something that was a staple here during that decade is
coming back to Omaha. You know what that is, Lucy, I.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Don't know what that is Scott Guitar.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Scanner getting guitars and Cadillacs back Street.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Where did it go?
Speaker 1 (35:18):
It went away?
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Why did we lose it? Alright?
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Well, I don't know. People stopped boot Scooting and it
closed in two thousand and three after being open in
Omaha in late eighties, like nineteen eighty eight, eighty nine,
and then really found its its boot scooting feet during
the explosion of country music popularity nineteen ninety one, ninety two,
(35:44):
ninety three, when I just happened to be not old
enough to get into the bars, but old enough to
go to teen Night at Guitars and Cadillacs. I forget
which night that was. I want to say it was Thursday,
but man, that was a fun time. Oh did I
like dancing there?
Speaker 2 (35:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (36:00):
I hate dancing. I'm a terrible dancer and I don't
like dancing. But did I go out there and dance? Yeah?
You know why? Girls there were girls there tight jeans.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
The building's gone though.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Yeah, they're gonna move to a different location.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
That's good. Since the building's gone.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Yeah, is the building gone or is it like a yeah?
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Because isn't that the building that became Nicos?
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Maybe I can't remember it before Guitars.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Well, I know that it's moving into a new location.
Story here from KMTV three says that they'll be open
in April or May in the new Miracle Hills Park.
Stuff that's happening there on one hundred and fourteenth to Dodge.
It's Lower Dodge on the north side of Dodge on
(36:52):
one hundred and fourteenth where a bunch of great stuff
used to be and now it's been like closed down
grocery stores and restaurants and buildings that got demolished and
DJ's dugout. But now I mean DJ's is still over there.
There's a really great Indian restaurant over there, the Funny
Bones going back over there. It used to be there
(37:14):
Funny Bone Comedy Club. And they're gonna do the new
Guitars and Cadillacs there in the spring. They're looking to
make that little area and entertainment haven once again.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Is it going to be the same owners?
Speaker 1 (37:30):
That is an excellent question. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Because Guitars and Catallics might that might be a franchise
or a name that is just on a lot of buildings,
but somebody owns the name. I don't we should get
together before the show and talk about this kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
Scanning the why you think it would help? No, I
know that they talk about how Guitars and Cadillacs opened
in Kansas City in nineteen eighty eight and then shortly
thereafter in Omaha where it was here and popular until
it closed in April of two thousand and three.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
That's what makes me think it's a franchise.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Yeah, well, I don't know if it's a franchise. I
mean it's a couple of businesses that I don't know
if they had the same owners or what. But this
is this is going to be a new Guitars and
Cadillacts and frankly, I don't care who owns it. Well,
the only reason if they're going to don't know if
it's going to be the same what, well, what do
you the same?
Speaker 2 (38:32):
What is going to do concerts?
Speaker 1 (38:34):
It's gonna have a dance floor and there's gonna be
country music in there. What exactly is it that you want?
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Are there still going to be concerts? I mean this, Uh,
the Guitars and Cadillacs that was on the other side
of Dodge right about the same place. This is where
they would have people like Chris LaDou and they had
big names, big names to people who like country music.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
Right, Okay, so I so I want to know if.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
They're still doing concerts because this could be really cool.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Right. I like that you're trying to hold someone's feet
to the fire on this. You're not gonna go because
something's very different now than it was in the nineties. Us,
we're we're old. This isn't This isn't for us. There'll
be people our age who go, but it's gonna be
(39:19):
for this next generation of kids who want to go
to teen night and those in their twenties who are
fun and it can do some bootscooting without breaking a hip.
This isn't for us.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Bring Billy Dean in. I will go. So if they're
gonna have concerts, that's what you need to do to
get me there, right.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
You know, if you're if you're thinking, oh, a good
place for country music? Are they gonna be able to
book Jim Reeves, this isn't for you. Conwoy Twitty, I
love that you're like, well, is it gonna be the same,
Like you're not going. Someone sent me something the other
day said, when were young, we used to sneak out
of our homes to go to parties. Now we sneak
(39:58):
out of parties to go back home. Oh, I got
some emails here that said it is the two of
the original owners are doing this again. Lindsay email says Scott,
I'm forty three years old. And then that's all. No,
she she says, When I was a kid, my parents went,
(40:21):
and that's when it was country music at that club.
They went to all sorts of concerts, did line dancing
on the weekends. We had a babysitter at home. In
my early twenties, it was hip hop music on the weekends.
Most of my sins were committed there growing up. Oh,
they did a wet t shirt contest too. Need I
go on? Yes? Oh, I say. My husband is excited
(40:44):
for it to reopen. His drink of choice was UV
blue vodka and vodka. Lindsey, I want to hang out
with you and your husband. You sound like a fun couple.
I'd like to especially like to hang out with you
in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
And they're younger than you, I know, well just by
a couple of years.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Yeah. And then I got a few other people that said, yes,
it was Thursday Night was teen Night at Guitars and Cadillacs.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Do you think that they could still do a teen night?
Speaker 1 (41:16):
That's what I was starting to say, until you started
chastising me and telling me, I want to know who's
owning this place. Okay, I don't know in that location,
maybe because you don't naturally have a giant group of
teenagers who are just hanging around, but they'll probably find it.
(41:37):
There are a lot of people who said we're going
to do a fun teen night and then a few
months later say, oh no, this is a terrible idea,
and they shut it down. We shall see that's next spring.
