Ice Storm / The Rain / Being Bashar

We talk with Mayor Stothert about the city's response (and her opponents' criticism) to the weekend's ice storm, the latest on the drones, a long-overdue celebration of "The Rain," wondering what it's like to be the deposed Syrian dictator, and more.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vordiez that video near one hundred and thirty second
in Blondo showing an suv trying I think I can,
I think I can up that hill and then helplessly
sliding backwards, coming right towards a couple of parked cars,
narrowly missing them, then sliding back across the road. You're like, oh,

(00:21):
it's gonna hit that giant mailbox. Narrowly misses the mailbox
and then comes pinballing back across like now it's gonna
hit that car. Narrowly misses that car. This is a
great weekend of entertainment between the volleyball games and movies
like Carry On with Jason Bateman and Taron Edgerton on Netflix.

(00:42):
What a fantastic movie. That is great weekend of entertainment.
Nothing was more entertaining than that video of that suv
just sliding helplessly down the street. I'm guessing the driver
of that vehicle probably thought differently so when all this
was going on. I see social media and it purports

(01:03):
to be a screenshot of a report from WOWT First
Alert six News says Omaha mayor Jene Stothard. You got
a picture of Jeene Stothard and got a quote that says,
I'm getting reports that cars are piling up in the streets. Folks,
if you are parked illegally, you will be toad. End

(01:24):
of story. Omaha Mayor Jean Stouth joins us now on
news radio eleven ten, kfab did you say that?

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Good morning? And absolutely no, that was a fake post
by Ron Kaminsky, who by the way is vice chair
of the state Democrat Party and also a big union
guy and supporter of Mike McDonald. But he made it up,
totally made it up. I did not say that. The
post that he had it said WOWT, but it wasn't

(01:55):
even the graphics they use. It was a totally fabricated
lie and a made up post. My team did contact
the station manager at WOWT. They were not happy about it,
and they tried to get a hold of Ron Kaminsky,
I know they did that tell him to take it down,
and eventually it did come down. So I'm not sure

(02:16):
whether they got a hold of him or he just
automatically did. But my opponent, Mike McDonald sure ran with
it and made a big deal out of this quote
that was totally fake. You know, Mike McDonald also said
made in a statement that I was out of town,
and I was not out of town. I was right
here in Omaha Wednesday night. I had the opening of

(02:38):
my new campaign headquarters Thursday. I was ringing bells at
the March Friday. Actually, when the storm hit, I was
at a store Total Wine, checking Total Wine out at
seventy second Dodge, talking to tons of people about what
potentially was going to be happening that evening with an
ice storm. So that was not true either. I had

(02:59):
people on social media say they saw me on an
airplane leaving Omaha on Friday night. That was not accurate either.
So you know, we knew when Mike McDonald said he
was running for mayor he would run a very negative
campaign and he would attack, and they sure are doing it,
and they're doing it full force right now. But I
feel really strongly that bring an ice storm or a snowstorm,

(03:22):
my job is to keep the people of Omaha safe
and to do everything we can to give accurate current information,
not make up lies to scare people.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Mike McDonald, a fairly recent convert to the Republican Party,
announced to here just just weeks ago that he would
be running in the spring elections for mayor against incumbent
mayor Jean Stothard. Our guest here on eleven to ten
kfab he's not the only one opposing you. There were
also some complaints from, among others, John Ewing, Jasmine Harris,

(03:51):
there're the other two big names in this mayoral race.
But there are a lot of people on social media,
some of them sharing that fake news post pore from
wowt that we mentioned here, saying why were these roads
so bad? Why were they so icy? Why don't we
pre treat the streets, why don't we have sand? Do
you want to address some of these complaints?

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Sure, well, first of all, my opponents that's what they're
going to do. You know, I warned my whole staff.
I said, I'm sorry, but the next six months, all
you're going to do is hear criticisms of everything we do.
But they don't have any better solution or any better plan.
We have an ice I have to say this first,
and snow removal plan that is very comprehensive that won

(04:34):
a national award by the American Public Works Association in
twenty nineteen for what we do. But the streets were
icy because there was an ice storm. It wasn't because
the city was not prepared. Mike McDonald is out there
stating we didn't pre treat the roads. Yes we did.
We did pretreat all the mains and the secondaries. We
were spreading salt. But the thing of it is is

(04:57):
it's always a bit of a crapshoot when you don't
know whether it's going to start raining first or if
the ice is just going to start first. We went
ahead and pre treated the streets and it started to
rain first. And whenever it does it it dilutes the brine,
which is just salt, faat and water, and it washes
it away and it makes it ineffective. There's a whole

(05:18):
lot going on when you do your plan of how
you're going to address a storm. And we were prepared,
we did pre treat. All of what they are saying
is inaccurate, But it rain first and it washed it away.
You have to prepare for the worst and hope for
the best, and a lot is in the hands of
mother nature. And you know, we use all of our forecasters,

(05:40):
the local ones, they do a great job. We use
national ones, we use paid ones, and yet you know,
the forecast can change, and there was a lot. Like
I said, there's a lot that goes into the plan,
including the ground. Temperatures were really warm. It was supposed
to warm up later on and it really didn't do that.
So weather does change. Like I said, you prepare for

(06:01):
the worst, hope for the best. But there was a
lot of ice out there. The thing about ice, it's
probably the worst condition possible, worse than a snowstorm, because
within a matter of seconds, with just a minute amount
of rain, the entire city is covered in ice and
the roads were treacherous. We had over five hundred calls

(06:21):
stacked up at nine one one at one time, but
it was very coordinated. I was in town. I was
working continuously with public works, with the fire chief, with
the police chief, always working with them making decisions. Tidgemotter
was given the information all the time about nine one one,
and frankly, I don't think Todgemoter needs Mike McDonald telling

(06:42):
him how to run the amount police department.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Well, Moham Marrier, Jean Starthor with us here on news
radio eleven ten KFAB. The timing of this ice event
on Friday night was just awful. There were so many
people who went out at about five thirty six o'clock
maybe to get some food and go catch a school
varsity Friday night basketball game. We went to our daughter's
school play, which started at seven o'clock, and it was

(07:06):
one of those where as you went out at around
six o'clock, the roads were okay. The weather was starting to,
you know, start getting a little bit icy, but it
was mostly rain at that point. By the time, by
the time you came out of these events after a
couple of hours, the roads were almost impassable.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
I mean it was treacherous. I was out too, Scott.
I was out till about five point thirty and the
roads were treacherous. But it wasn't because of lack of
city response or lack of preparedness. It was because there
was an ice storm that started with rain, and we
were telling people that it was treacherous outside. You know,

(07:46):
at one time we had fourteen cruisers and ten fire
apparatus that had been crashes. Most of them were minor
or dents and scrapes and things like that, but it
did take them out of service for a short period
of time. There was one fire truck that stayed on
the top of a hill for about twelve hours because
they saw people sliding back down the hill and that

(08:09):
was the right decision for them to make to stay there.
But everybody is working together and our whole purpose here
is to keep people safe and when there is ies split.
I was about to get my newspaper at about seven
that was still sitting in the driveway and slid right
down the driveway, So I know how icy it was,
but it definitely was not because of lack of preparedness

(08:34):
like Mike McDonald and other opponents are accusing us of.
We do have a plan. It's very comprehensive. We budget
I budget eleven point two million for ice and snow removals,
so there is we're not short changing anything. And if
we run out, then we have a cash reserve. You know,
we always have the material we need. We have the salt,

(08:55):
We make our own brine. Somebody on Facebook accused us
of selling off all of our snowplows and our salt spreaders.
That is not true. I mean, we have over one
hundred and twenty pieces of apparatus and we're always buying
nu ones and so the social media comments are just terrible,
but they don't help anybody because I would say eighty

(09:17):
percent of what was on my Facebook was false, was
absolutely false, and all that does it is caused panic
and people to even worry more. I have and this
this whole storm's scott. Within twenty four hours, it was gone.
I mean, the streets were dry and it was gone.
And here is our goal to with a snowstorm. This

(09:39):
isn't just ice. Ice is the most difficult, but with
a snowstorm, the goal is to get the mains and
the secondaries running water curb to curb, to get the
residentials passable. And that is our goal. And so we
concentrate on the mains and secondary excuse me, mains and secondaries.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
First, yeah, I have a few questions and a few
minutes left here with Mary Jane stret On eleven to
ten kfab. First and foremost, is there ring doorbell camerage available,
camera images and video available of you sliding down your
driveway and then trying to climb back up the Lord?

Speaker 2 (10:12):
I hope not because I don't have one of those,
but I was going to actually went down backwards, and
so yeah, yeah, I know it was treacherous. And what
we need is people to realize that when there's ice
out there. In snow, it is going to be dangerous.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
There have been a number of snowstorms where you see
the lines in the streets with the pre treated salt solution,
the brine solution that goes down first, and that works great,
But there are also a lot of weather events where
we do get that rain first and it washes that off,
and people say, why don't we have sand on the streets,
So why don't we have sand?

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Yeah, and we do use sand occasionally, but we don't
like to because the thing with sand, it's there for
traction and number one, it washes away too if it
starts raining. But it would you put sand in the
middle of the street. After five or ten passes of vehicles,
it's kicked to the curbs on either side and it's
a mess to clean up. So we prefer the salt

(11:09):
because it's granular. It provides traction as well as melting capabilities.
But when we have hills and really slick, dangerous areas,
we do use a combination of salt and sand or
just sand, and we provide that to folks that live
in residential areas that are on hills. We've had that
program for years now. So the main reason we don't

(11:30):
put sand all over the city is it just gets
kicked to the curb after about ten passes of vehicles
and then it's just a big mess. But we do
mix it together when necessary, as we're treating the streets
after the event happens. But when our goal, like I
said before, to keep the streets like the mains and
secondary is clear curb to curb, you know, it's after

(11:51):
the event ends. You're just chasing your tail. If you
are out there trying to put brine out while the
ice and rain is coming down, it just doesn't work.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
How much of this, yeah, how much of this ends
up being personal responsibility, because you know, I made the decision,
knowing the forecast, to go out there and see my
daughter's play. My parents said, now it looks like it's
going to start to get icy. We're not going to
slip and fall to see that, No good daughter of yours.
They decided to stay home. If the City of Omaha says,
we're saying instituting a martial law, you can't go anywhere,

(12:25):
and then it just rains and there's no ice, well
then you're dragged out of office, you know, by this morning.
So how much of this ends up being personal responsibility?

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Absolutely it is. And you know, we could give people
the best, most accurate information about what the weather is
like and what is going on and what we have
done to pretreat. But the bottom line is it is dangerous.
And when people say, well, I slid down the street
or I almost was in a wreck, or I wasn't
a wreck because of the City of Omaha, that that

(12:56):
just is not accurate. The City of Omaha is doing
their best. Our public works men and women were out there,
our first responders were out there doing their best to
keep people safe. But when it is that icy, which
it was, I mean, you're really putting your life in
your hands if you go out at all. You're putting
your life in your hands if you go down the
end of your driveway. So everybody needs to be thoughtful

(13:18):
and careful and care for each other in these events.
If you can stay home, yes do But like you said,
there are people that had to get to work, that
had to pick up their kids, and I understand what
it's like. It's very frustrating. I always say the best
thing about my job is to help people make their
lives better. On a day to day basis, whether it's

(13:39):
getting their trash picked up or a pothole filled, or
take care of a noisy neighbor, something that makes their
life Omaha better. And when they have to get out
to work and there's ice all over the place, that
is frustrating. And I understand that. And you know, if
we can control mother Nature, we'd be many many steps ahead.
But a lot of times with these storms like that,
we're at the mr of what happens with the weather.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
You want another four years of this? Huh?

Speaker 2 (14:04):
I do you know? I think? I think people know.
I love my job. I love the team that I
work with. We have, I think the best team the
city's had in years and years. As far as all
of our directors are fire chief or police chief, they
do a great job. We all work together, and we've
built a lot of trust in the community with public
private partnerships. I always use a gene Leahy Mall as

(14:26):
an example, but four hundred million of private money going
into public parks. Those are really good partnerships. And we
have such great momentum now. The budgets in great shape,
our crime statistics are as low as they've been in
a long long time, and the city is moving on
and moving forward with this great momentum, and I want
to keep it going.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
O Mohammer Jean Stouthart, thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
For the time today, you bet thanks for having me.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
He're on news radio eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Dot co NewsRadio eleven ten k FA.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Doug says Scott, I'm truly sick and tired of the
endless excuses from the mayor and the Roads Department. We
get endless excuses and horrible results. Council Bluff still blows
Omaha out of the water with our response to weather,
but both skimp. Both cities skimp on residential The lack
of sand in freezing rain is beyond frustrating. That's from

(15:24):
Doug said to Scott ATKFAB dot com. I asked mayors
dot there a moment ago, what about sand instead of
that brine solution? She said, When it rains before you
get ice or snow, it washes everything off the roads.
When you put sand down, Yeah, for maybe the first
four or five cars that travel over that sand, it's

(15:44):
fairly nice for traction. After that, it kicks all the
sand off to the side. When you get rain before
ice and snow, it's going to be nearly impossible to
make sure that all the streets are clear. Now. The
people say, well, they work on the main thoroughfairs more

(16:05):
and the residential roads are just sheets of ice. It's
because there's more cars driving over the main thoroughfairs. There
aren't as many cars driving down your residential street. You know,
there's a reason one hundred and thirty second Street looks
better than one hundred and thirty seventh Avenue because one
hundred thirty second streets got cars constantly going over it.

(16:27):
A hundred thirty seventh Avenue is like you and your
neighbor Bob, and it's on a hill, and it's gonna
be hard to get up there now, I know. I
mentioned a moment ago. We got home Friday night, thankfully,
just crawled along the ice. Didn't have a hill to
navigate to get to my driveway. But my driveway is

(16:49):
on enough of an incline. I told my son, I'm like,
all right, here we go and almost slid into the
basketball hoop, couldn't make it up the driveway. Said you
know what, but we're just gonna park on the street tonight.
And that's what we did. It was an absolute mess.
And as I mentioned to Meyris doth a moment ago, like,

(17:09):
how much of this falls down to personal responsibility. I
knew when I left my house Friday evening that it
was probably gonna be stupid icy when we got done
with this school play that didn't get canceled because the
weather wasn't such that necessitated you cancel anything that started
at you know, six, six thirty seven o'clock, like a
lot of these ops events, did basketball games, school plays, whatever,

(17:34):
But the forecast was such that we told you when
you get out, it's gonna be icy. Yeah, well sometimes
the forecast is wrong and everyone gets all mad and cranky.
Like you said, it was kinda be icy, and we
get out there and that was totally fine. It was sunny,
seventy five degrees. It was amazing.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
You know.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
It's it's kind of a crapshoot. It comes down to
personal responsibility. And Omaha Police ed the story here from
k e TV News Watch seven five hundred and fifty
six crash calls more than two hundred and twenty eight
hazard calls between three o'clock on Friday afternoon. Who was
doing what was the problem at three o'clock on Friday,

(18:16):
Nothing wasn't icy until six thirty ish. So between three
o'clock on Friday afternoon and one o'clock Lucy on Saturday afternoon,
five hundred and fifty six crash calls, two hundred and
twenty eight hazard calls, and I'm guessing there were a
lot more than five hundred and fifty six crashes. A
lot of them were just sorry, I bumped into your car.

(18:38):
Let's exchange information and we'll deal with it later, which
was how I was supposed to go if you weren't
in an injury situation. Because we were on accident alert,
fourteen cruisers for the Omaha Police Department involved in minor crashes,
no officers injured. The Douglas County Sheriff's office said two

(18:58):
cruisers in one unmarked vehicle sustained some minor damage. Sarpye
County said twenty six property damage crashes and two personal
injury crashes from that time Friday night into Saturday morning.
Washington County said one person died in the crash up

(19:21):
in Washington County, north of Omaha. Two semis were stuck
on hills on Highway thirty and Highway ninety one deputies
had to help, with eight motorists assists. No Washington County
Sheriff's Office vehicles damage. Nebraska State Patrol said they shut
down I eighty. I didn't know I eighty was closed,

(19:42):
but I'm not.

Speaker 4 (19:42):
Surprised from three seventy to Gretna Lucy knew that. No,
not until it was much later.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Well, you were You were not on the clock Friday night.

Speaker 4 (19:52):
In the Saturday morning, I would have been. I didn't
know it was going on. I went home. I was
asleep by I think seven o'clock, such as your schedule.
I didn't know if anybody would have called me and
said there was.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Nothing, There was nothing to report. When I say, like,
we should have been here all night doing that, what
are you going to say, Hey, everyone's icy. Yeah, we know,
we know it is.

Speaker 4 (20:16):
That's accurate.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Yes, when it's when when we have dangerous and oftentimes
almost unpredictable weather like tornadoes and hail and situations like that,
it's all hands on deck, we're here. But when the
entire city is predicted to be covered in ice and
then gets covered in ice, at that point you know

(20:37):
that it's covered in ice. But I'm sure that I'm
going to get another email from someone says I went
out at one o'clock in the morning on Saturday and
it was icy, and I didn't hear anyone live on
kfa B telling me it was icy. You guys are
the worst and you should all be fired, Like, all right, well,
thank you, thank you for that feedback. Fox News update

(20:58):
in just a moment, Scott see ice storm on Friday
night that continued a lot longer into Saturday afternoon than
had been projected. Remember we were talking Friday morning, Lucy
that if this ice storm, this precipitation event held out
a little bit later into the day, if it managed

(21:19):
to get into like some of the overnight hours, it
might just be rain and we might be okay. Well,
it started with that rain around five thirty ish. An
hour later it was it was slickery, and about an
hour after that it was absolutely impassable if you were

(21:39):
trying to get up any kind of incline. Now, the
temperatures overnight were supposed to kind of warm up a
bit and maybe we'd see some rain and see some
of that ice melt. That didn't happen, And so it
was kind of funny. I was getting the alerts from
the National Weather Sir Saturday morning saying we're anticipating this emergency.

(22:05):
What did they refer to the winter storm warning? This
cautionary period. We're gonna lift that at noon. Then around
eleven o'clock they said, we're going to extend that until one.
Then around twelve thirty, we're going to extend that until three.
Then around two thirty, we're going to extend that until March.

(22:29):
So it really didn't warm up that much. A nice
warm up today, and I heard from my daughter had
other stuff going on, actually got canceled Saturday morning, but
she didn't end up having to go to work. She
works at a busy shopping area and normally would have

(22:52):
gone into work to kind of open up the store
there around ten o'clock or so on Saturday morning, But
since we are still in that winter storm advisory and
the roads were still really bad, I asked her, I said,
you hear from your coworkers. Was everything pretty slow throughout
much of the day on Saturday? And she goes, no,
they were packed, Like how why? How are people like,

(23:15):
all right, let's go out and do this. I went
out shopping with my wife yesterday. The holiday shopping season
on a pretty nice Sunday afternoon, a week and a
half before Christmas. That was a delight. I spent most
of the time walking around in tow suggesting things that

(23:39):
were batted down, and wondering could I get a therapist
in a time machine. I was so comfortable in my chair,
was sitting there watching the Chiefs play another miserable game
of football and yet managed to win. I don't know
how they do it. And my wife said, come on,
you said we were going to go shopping. All right,
we'll go shopping. But you know, yesterday was fine, but

(24:02):
a lot of people went out on Saturday early on
Saturday afternoon and it was still really icy, and apparently
they were like, all right, we're going out anyway, which
brings me back to when you have the forecast for
several days and then on that day, several hours leaning
up to the weather event that says if you go out,
it's going to be very very dangerous, it's going to

(24:24):
be icy, and people are like, ah, I'm going out,
and then they go sliding into humanity and then they
you know, that's personal responsibility. If they want to go
out and do that, then go out. And do that.
But what you can't do, and I don't know that
they're doing this, what you can't do is you can't
say everyone said it was icy out there, and I

(24:45):
went out there and it was icy, and I don't
know why the city didn't do more to make it
not be icy. Here are some emails. Jay says, when
are people just going to accept the fact that they
can't control the weather? The only thing you can do
is work around it. That's from Jay Lucy, the official
conspiracy theorist in this program. I'm sure would take exception

(25:09):
to the argument that you can't control the weather. She says,
they've been doing this for years. Was this harp?

Speaker 4 (25:16):
No? Oh okay, this is winter.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Oh well, that's no fun. See I'm always complaining every
time you start conspiratorially gibber jabbering on the air, and
then you don't and I don't know what to do
with it.

Speaker 4 (25:28):
Gibber jabbering.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Conspiratorially gibber jabbering, it's a different level. It's a higher
level of gibber jabber. You didn't go out anywhere on Saturday.

Speaker 4 (25:37):
No, I did go out on Sunday, though.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
You live midway up a hill, what's your address again? Yeah,
you live midway up a hill. Did you just stand
there in the window and just watch people slide all
over the place?

Speaker 4 (25:49):
No, because again I didn't even know what was happening. Now,
Saturday morning, we did see somebody out frontin coming getting stuck. Yeah,
but that was it, just the one. But we never
saw anybody else. Try.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Doug is once again in the inbox, saying again, why
is Council Bluffs? Why is it the Council Bluffs can
get the roads cleared, but Omaha struggles every single time. Well,
the Council Bluffs is flat and there's hundreds fewer miles
of roads.

Speaker 4 (26:20):
Well, if you're still dealing with ice, I would be
interested in what they did. Did they have their roads
where you could drive on them by Saturday morning?

Speaker 1 (26:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
I don't either.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
And Council Bluffs is flat unless you get over near
the Less Hills and some of those great areas there.
You know, you get around downtown Council Bluffs and you
start shooting this way and that, and you got some
really nice hills there. But I'm guessing that people in
Council Bluffs and people in Omaha and all around this
arounding area. Most of them are exactly the way I described.

(26:55):
They knew it was going to be dangerous. They made
a decision whether they were going to go out I did,
knowing the consequences, or they made a decision and said
I'm not going out like my dad did. My dad
sent me a text message on Friday night right before
we were leaving. We were all gonna convene at the
school and see my daughter in the school play. And

(27:16):
my dad said, I don't care enough about your kid
to go out in this weather. And that's how I
took it anyway, And I thought, you was, it's just
raining out there, because I just got home. I had
to pick up my son from basketball and got him
home and it was just raining, and I thought, ah,
what it was. By the time we got to the school,

(27:39):
I was like, Oh, I'm gonna slide all over this
parking lot. I'm gonna slip trying to get into the school.
And leaving the school here in an hour and a
half or so is gonna be delightful, And boy it was.
So my dad once again made the right decision. His
idiot son, who he's been telling ever since I started

(28:01):
driving in the fall of nineteen ninety two. He would
tell me so many times, I wouldn't drive around tonight, Dad,
I'll be fine. A couple hours later, Hey Dad, I'm stuck.
I slid off this road. I got stuck in that snowpile.

Speaker 4 (28:17):
I've driven in this one one time, and I want
to say it was two thousand and eleven or twelve
when we had a storm like this, an ice storm
like this. Yeah, and about a three hour drive that
would normally be fifteen twenty minutes. So I've done it
once and I wasn't going out.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
I hate it when I'm driving in it, and I
always say, like it, you know, we ever get even
a forecast a hint of this weather. Again, I am
not going out in this. It's so dangerous.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
And then next time I'm like, I can probably make it.
So the streets were filled with men. What now all
the single ladies are like, dang it, I missed it.
Wait what because women are smart enough to stop.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
You're saying that men are out there sliding around like
I'm fine. So if if women wanted to go out
and find a dumb man who doesn't listen.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
Well, that's a good point. That's that is a good point.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
Well, all you gotta do is just live on a
on a hill or at the bottom of a hill.
They'll slide right into your yard.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
True, a man right here in my list, that's right.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Yeah, all you gotta do is just sit there and
wait and they'll slide right into your yard.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
Scott Voices News Radio eleven ten Kaby.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Looking at the long term forecast, if you're looking for
a white Christmas, you're either going to have to hope
for the forecast to change or travel to find a
white Christmas, because as of right now, it looks like
it's going to be one of those Christmases where you
can get a skateboard for Christmas and go out and

(30:04):
try it out in the driveway, maybe with just a
light jacket on. But we'll see. That's still a week
and a half away, lots of shopping days before then,
and lots of opportunity for the weather to change. And
the Zonkers custom was inbox. Scott at kfab dot com.
Jackie says people going out in the ice like Bill

(30:26):
Engvall says, you can't fix stupid. Wait a second, I
went out in the ice, and Jackie's probably saying, yes, Scott,
I know that, and I stand by my comment. Jimmy says,
if the authority says stay home, then stay home. Yeah,
but I bet you're the first one to email when
the authorities say, we suggest you stay home. There's gonna

(30:48):
be a big storm. And then there's there's not even
a little storm. There's no storm. And that's when the
restaurant people and the entertainment individuals and and all the
people that like and do all the basketball games and
the school stuff, and they cancel everything because everyone says
there's going to be a big storm and then nothing happens.
People like you guys are idiots. You should all be

(31:10):
run out of town, except for the cute ones, you know,
some of the cute weather forecasters like Rusty Lord. And
so it's again personal responsibility. I know that this is
a new concept to several people. But you get all

(31:30):
the information and then you try and make the best
decision or sometimes the most convenient decision, or sometimes you
make a bad decision. You go, well, I hope this
works out now. I mentioned that we went out on
Friday night because my daughter had a school play. I've
got Monica and John in the inbox here saying, wait

(31:52):
a second, you said that you had to pick your
son up from basketball. Did you cave? Did you let
him miss his sister's play?

Speaker 2 (31:59):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Yeah, talking about that on Friday, my son did not
want to go to what was going to be the
third sister related school activity in the span of two weeks, because.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
You left that part out.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
Well, she's busy, girls, she got a lot of stuff.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
He didn't tell us that third one you were going
to make him go to.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
No, we let him skip the second one, oh, because
he went to the first one, and that, by all
accounts was an absolute travesty, absolute travesty. Just awful. She was.
It was like a two hour concert with another school.
She was on stage for eight minutes of two hours. Oh,

(32:42):
absolute travesy.

Speaker 4 (32:43):
Yeah, that's no good.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
My son was so miserable. So but that's that's my
job to make him miserable once in a while.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
You do need a better ratio, though.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
So we let him skip the second one because he
was going to the third one, which was to play
this past But he was like, I want to go
to the basketball game my friends. So he's complete and
we're like, no, you're going to the play. Then I said,
wait a second, you want to go to the JV game.
What time is that five point fifteen? Like, well, yeah,
you can go to that and I'll pick you up
and then we'll go to the play. So that's what happened.
He was he was able to do both, which made

(33:13):
his mood a little bit better for the play. Also,
his sister was on stage for a lot longer than
eight minutes, so that was that was good. Thank you
for asking. Now, Lucy is generally the official conspiracy theorist
here on the program. I just tell her she's crazy.

(33:36):
But I was thinking about things over the weekend because
I was getting really really frustrated because this is it's
impossible to talk about any of these big events in
the news because I'm always going to have some conspiracy theorists,
usually Lucy Chapman or someone email or social media, or

(34:01):
you're just gonna see this stuff someplace and they're gonna
tell you. Like if I say, all right, police have
just arrested a guy in connection with the murder of
the United Healthcare CEO, I'm just gonna have these deep
state and antagonizing conspiracy theorists shaking their heads at what
a sheeple, I am, because this is how it sounds

(34:25):
like to me. I say something like that and they go, Scott,
you know that this is a false flag, that there
was no CEO of United Healthcare. This guy is a patsy.
He didn't kill anybody. It was all staged. It's all
a distraction to keep your mind off of whatever the
whatever they are doing to it. Who's they? Well it's

(34:46):
not Biden, and it's not Trump. All right, well who
is it? It's they and this guy. This was all
set up here by them to and then it goes
into some vague conspiracy theory or Scott, you know these
drone sightings around the country, they're not drones. Oh is

(35:08):
it aliens? No, it's not aliens. It's them, those giant
ants from the movie. No, not that them. There was
there's your nineteen fifties movie reference for the segment of
the radio program them about giant radioactive ants coming out
of the sewers. You're not far off that good movie? Yeah,
good movie. So yeah, the drones is it's the government.

(35:31):
They're they're hypnotizing us and they're seeing, you know, what
the reaction will be. So when they finally get the
drones up there that are nuclear tipped and they kill
us or whatever it is that they do, or they
drop some sort of virus on us and kill us. Like,
why does the government want to kill us? They just
basically treat us like a breeding farm for their money
that they extract.

Speaker 4 (35:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
Apparently you're you can't see it, just continue to be
a sheep wile you bade boy. You know? So this
is how ridiculous. I can't say anything because there are
conspiracy theorists saying that I'm an idiot for not seeing it.
So I was layering. I wanted I want to make
these people happy. I want to make them proud of me.

(36:17):
So I was thinking about this Lucy with the ice
storm on Friday, an ice storm that was set up
by them, by by deep state government cooperatives. You know
the drones which we've seen around Omaha. What do we
hear on Friday? Drones around Omaha, around Eppley Airfield and

(36:39):
other places around town. These drones were cloud seating to
make sure that we got the ice on Friday. And
it's all set up by this deep spate, deep states,
deep states. I can't say deep state government agency that
works with Big Auto Collision to make sure that there

(37:03):
are more accidents around town because things have been a
little light here lately and we needed more accidents. So
it was Big Auto Collision that worked with these deep
state operatives to make sure that we had ice in
town so people will be sliding around crashing into each other.

(37:24):
And then over here you got Big Rubber because there
are people like you know, it would be better, like
RFK Jr. And others are saying, you know, it would
be better as if we made these tires out of
steel wool, then you might be able to get some
traction and get up and down these roads. But we
can't why Big Rubber. And you're thinking big Rubber that
sounds hilarious. No, I mean it in terms of the

(37:45):
rubber companies that make tires, not whatever you're thinking when
I say big Rubber. So RFK Juniors over here going,
you know, and Elon Musk I got a patent to
make great car tires that you'll never have to replace.
They never go flat and they never get stuck anywhere.

(38:06):
They're made of steel wool. But Big Rubber won't allow
us to have steel wool tires because they're in with
the deep state and the and and if you don't
see it, there are just some puppet sheeple puppet, a
puppet looking like a sheep that's also a person sheep.
And that's why we had the ice storm on Friday.

(38:29):
I'm there with you, I see it, I get it.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
I don't think this ice storm did anything big government
to hurt big government or the deep state. It was
just what has happened ice storm that you didn't see
a bunch of cows or chickens die.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
What, Okay, a good a good conspiracy only have some
kind of an outcome cow cows and chickens dying.

Speaker 4 (38:58):
Well, if you're trying to if you're trying to affect
the economy in some fashion, then yeah, something's got.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
All the economy was affected. We got all these people
who crashed into it. Like I said here in Omaha,
five hundred and fifty six crash calls to OPD Friday
afternoon through Saturday afternoon. And it had to have been
so much bigger because you're on accident alert. If you
just bump into each other, you either just exchange information

(39:28):
and you don't call and make it a police report.
You just deal with it. Or in the case of
probably what happened a lot of times overnight, you slide
into someone's park car and there on the road, you
look around and you realize, I don't think anyone saw that,
and you drive off. That's what I do. It's so
much it's so much cheaper that way.

Speaker 4 (39:45):
Well, yeah, but you have to have some kind of
you have to have kind of an outcome, or if
it's simply just a test, which do you have anything
to share with us about the drones?

Speaker 2 (39:59):
Uh? Yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
We had two men arrested after a drone flew dangerously
close to Logan Airport in Boston.

Speaker 4 (40:08):
Because these are not little time. When you say it
flew next to the airport, you think a lot of
people wild are thinking, oh this you know two foot
or a foot long wide. No, these are as you.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
We you we we were all.

Speaker 4 (40:22):
Yeah, some of these drones we established cars, cars.

Speaker 1 (40:27):
Yeah, some of them. All the news here the past
week has been what are they going to do about
all these drones flying all over the place, especially in
the East Coast. Well in Massachusetts, two guys were arrested
after a drone flu was referred to as dangerously close
to Boston's Logan airport. Was it in prohibited space? See

(40:52):
The FAA prohibits drones from flying too close to airports
due to the fact that it's challenging for manned aircraft
to detect and avoid these drones. Even small drones pose
significant risk. You hear about a goose or a bird
getting into a big turbine and that could cause a

(41:13):
lot of problems. So certainly a drone certainly could. So
that's why you've got airspace around airports that is prohibited.
But what we don't hear here is was this specifically
and prohibited airspace? Because the phrase that this is the
Boston Herald CNN is another source here, and they're all

(41:37):
using the same term, and that is they flew too
close to the airport. And on this one, you're like,
all right, all we've heard about is drones flying all
over the place and no one knows who they are,
who's doing it, how to track them down, or what's
going on. Well, in this one, they said, advanced monitoring
technology was used to figure out where the dru was,

(42:01):
where the operators were, and the flight history of the drone.
Way you can do that. The Boston cops can do that,
But the FBI and the Department of Defense and all
their FAA and NAMBLA and all the rest of these organizations.
They can't figure any of this stuff out. But someone

(42:22):
called the Boston Cops and Mark Wahlberg and these guys
show up. What are you doing? So you're flying a drone?
Why are you doing that? You got Boston Cops? That's
my walk Mark, my Mark Wahlberg impersonation.

Speaker 4 (42:37):
It wasn't terrible.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
Yeah, I uh, I should never say this stuff out loud.
I was listening to the nineteen eighty six Eighties Countdown
recently and they featured one of my favorite songs of
the year, The Rain by Orange Juice Jones. Remember that
song he don't Oh Really I saw you and him

(43:02):
walking in the rain. It's about this guy who sees
his girlfriend out with another man. I gathered but at
the end of the song, it's a long tire and
it's just him talking over a beat to his girlfriend
when she gets home, like, Hey, where you been? I
missed you today? Oh you were out? Yeah, I know
you were out. You're out that guy. So here's what's

(43:23):
gonna happen. I'm cutting up all your credit cards and
he just lays into her. It's like a three minute
long rant and I'm in my car listening to it
doing it as Mark Wahlberg, Hey, where you been? Yeah?
I was wondering where you were to die. I followed you,
that's right, Yeah, I saw you out there with that
nappy headed fool. Yeah. So here's what's gonna happen. I'm

(43:44):
gonna cut up all your credit cards. That's gonna happen.
You know, you think you can do this to me?
You know, I don't know why.

Speaker 4 (43:51):
That's not exactly. I can't fight this feeling.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
Right, I don't know why I'm doing any of this,
but it's a it's a span of consciousness that many
people well just really don't like. Now I'm trying to
get back on track here. Drones, Boston cops. Yeah, I
just recently watched The Depoted, and then I watched Mark
Wahlberg in another Boston cop movie, Patriot Day, about the

(44:15):
Boston marathon bombing. Really good movies. Mark Wahlberg is a
good Boston cop. So someone calls the Boston cops. These
guys are like, all right, I don't know why you
guys think you can do this. Now it's gonna be
a Kennedy. You guys are flying drones around here. You

(44:36):
can't do that. Go pock youa PoCA co someplace ouse
you drowned. Yeah, yeah, the little Arnold Schwarzenegger in there
tell you I should take this whole act on the
road because I'm not cutting it as a radio host.
So the FBI can't do it. But they call the

(44:56):
Boston cops and they're like, yeah, we got advanced monitoring
technol we figured out where the drone was, where the
operators were, and the flight history of the drone, and
they said the operators were determined to be on an
island in Boston Harbor known as Long Island, Like, well,
we know, no, that's New York. This is Boston, which
is mostly uninhabited. So police from the the Habba Patrol

(45:20):
were sent there and they found three people inside the
closed Long Island Health campus and they all take off
and they grabbed these guys and one guy had a
drone in his backpack and they were captured. Is it
illegal to have a drone in your backpack? Did these
guys know they were flying too close to the airport?
And when they were flying too close where they was

(45:43):
it specifically in prohibited airspace? Or did the law enforcement
just need to get a win here because they've been
made to look pretty foolish in the eyes of a
lot of people here the past week going. Everyone's calling
nine to one one. They're seeing the drones up there,
and no one seems to know who's doing what. So

(46:04):
so we got these guys and they were they had drones,
and we arrested them. Well, it's not illegal to have drones.
Were they in prohibited airspace or were they just out
there in this area where they didn't think anyone was
around so they could fly these drones. Were they big drones?

(46:24):
Were they small little drones? Do we know that they
were doing anything illegal? Were they doing anything nefarious? Do
these guys have any ties to Bashar Ali Sade, you know,
or whatever terrorists like Bashar Alissade or Liz Cheney. Do
they have any kind of links that we can follow

(46:46):
up on. We don't know that. We just got a
We arrested some guys. These guys were flying drones. We
arrested them. Now it sounds a little bit more like
Bill Burr, there's another great Boston guy, Boston comic. Yeah,
we uh it's not the guys with the drones he arrested.

(47:07):
These guys tell that teach you to fly drones.

Speaker 4 (47:11):
Those are your problems with that story?

Speaker 1 (47:14):
Yeah, I know. That's why I'm bringing it up.

Speaker 4 (47:16):
If the police had the ability to track these drones
and where they were coming from, why did they focus
just on these these couple of couple of drones that
were close to the airport.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
And they just made it sound like, oh, yeah, we've
got this advanced monitoring technology to figure out where the
drone was, where the operators were, and the flight history.
Then how come they don't know about anybody.

Speaker 4 (47:41):
If they have the ability to find Here we goes
conspiracy theory.

Speaker 1 (47:44):
Let's go. I knew i'd get you out.

Speaker 4 (47:47):
What there ares.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
You think the other drones are government drones and these
guys are flying non government operated drones.

Speaker 4 (47:56):
When I say they're ours, I don't know who.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
Our kfab's drums.

Speaker 4 (48:01):
No, I don't know who those people are. I'm not
gonna say government. I'm not gonna say. I'll take a guess.
I bet these guys stay.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
These guys were probably trying to figure out who the
other drone operators were, and they probably wanted to go
out there and either and either figure out who they
were and what they were up to, yeah, or they
wanted to race them. No, drone races, it's a lot
more safe than street racing, right.

Speaker 4 (48:24):
Yeah, but they wanted somebody wants to be the first
to break this story wide open. And there are an
awful line.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
I just did theories, yeah.

Speaker 4 (48:32):
And some of them are extremely, in my opinion, extremely plausible.

Speaker 1 (48:37):
My theory Douglas County Sheriff Aaron Hanson shut down street racers,
So now they've gone to drone racing.

Speaker 4 (48:43):
Well, you're right, it is safer.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
Just go out in the middle of nowhere and race
your drones. Yeah, just don't play chicken with the airplanes.
Nobody wins.

Speaker 3 (48:53):
Scott Fordies News Radio eleven.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
Kfab Fill emails and says thank you, thank you, And
he sent this before I played the song. He said,
thank you. That song made my Monday. And he says,
you like conflakes without the milk? That ran as one
minute and fifty seven seconds long. Classic. Yes, that's uh.

Speaker 4 (49:22):
That didn't get a lot of radio play.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
Oh yeah I did. Yeah, that song was on the radio.
I heard that on Sweet Andy eight a lot and
then on MTV pretty heavy rotation. The video is great.
You can find that song on the album from which
it comes, or that the next one, which was Orange
Juice Jones's greatest hit.

Speaker 4 (49:43):
Wait did you say eighty six?

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (49:45):
Weren't you like ten nine nine ten?

Speaker 1 (49:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (49:49):
And you loved that song?

Speaker 1 (49:51):
Oh yeah?

Speaker 4 (49:51):
How did you even know what he was talking about?

Speaker 1 (49:54):
That would have been about the same time. There was
a song by Jermaine Stut that said, we don't have
to take our clothes off to have a good time.
Remember that song. It was all falsettos. So it's kind
of hard for me to understand that we.

Speaker 4 (50:10):
Don't have to close off to have a good time.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
No, no, no, I thought he was First of all,
I thought it was a girl, and secondly right right,
And secondly I thought she was saying we don't have
to take a long walk to have a good time.
I was like, all right, she doesn't want to go
for a long walk.

Speaker 4 (50:34):
I get that he just wants.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
To go for a light stroll. So I'm listening to that.
I actually have a MEMORYX tape where I'd record songs
off the radio and then write down like I know
this tape has got this song. Of that song, I
remember the the image of the the cassette tape that
says long walk on it that I wrote down incursive

(50:56):
because I like, I'm gonna be using this forever.

Speaker 4 (50:58):
That brings up so a very quick point. We were
watching some reality show and I don't remember what it
was because we don't watch reality shows, but it happened
to be on there. And the guy, one of the
guys in the show says, I can't read it. It's cursive.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
Yeah, and this guy is what twenty what? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (51:17):
Right?

Speaker 4 (51:18):
Literally he could not read write cursive.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
I don't write it anymore, I do, do you really?

Speaker 4 (51:27):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (51:27):
I don't write down anything anymore. I'll scratch down a
couple of notes here and there, and my handwriting is
just abysmal. A word I cannot spell incursive.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
Can you do a capitol Q incursive?

Speaker 4 (51:45):
But I never could you off. I mean, I can
baker over here and then you love here and then down.
And that's why I know I would never be able
to learn that Jake, how to write in Japanese or
how to write in Chinese. I would never be able
to to learn those because I can't even make a queue.
If you make shapes. I can't. I can't read jaw shapes.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
Remember the Remember the great Omaha band Grasshopper Takeover Kurt
Grub and Grasshopper Takeover one of the greatest local bands
in the history of Omaha. I got a couple of
their CDs, and when I was putting like making everything
digital and putting it on whether it's like a USB
stick or on my phone or whatever, there are a
couple of albums that come up with I don't know

(52:30):
if it's Pardon my Ignorance, I don't know if it's
Chinese or Japanese. I think it's Japanese writing. I can well,
I can tell when Grasshopper Takeover comes up on my
dashboard screen because there's two images. One kind of looks
I mean, you look at it like that looks like
a grasshopper, and the other one looks like a tank.

(52:52):
So it's like the Grasshopper Takeover in Japanese is so
much better than English.

Speaker 4 (52:59):
I believe that. Yeah, I just can't. I don't think
I could do it.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
Can you imagine having to write a five hundred word
essay in Japanese? Every symbol takes like thirteen different little
lines and things.

Speaker 4 (53:14):
That's what the kids today think about writing in curses.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
It's an art project. How do they quickly? There's my
five hundred word essay.

Speaker 4 (53:22):
That's also a good possible. I don't write anything.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
How do you play scrabble in Japan.

Speaker 4 (53:29):
With friends online? I still write?

Speaker 1 (53:36):
Well? Did I mention? Did I say before all these
before we get into this what I was going to
talk about in this segment? I don't want to leave, Okay,
I don't think I did either. Here's another thing. Since
we're just like thinking about stuff. What's it like right
now to be Bashar Alisade. Bashar Alisade grew up with

(53:58):
his father, the leader of Syria. His name was Larry Alisad.
I think I don't know. So he grows up his
dad is the ruthless dictator of the country. I'm guessing
Bashar Alisad probably didn't have to write a lot of
five hundred word essays. He probably didn't have to record

(54:21):
songs off the radio. He would just say, but Daddy,
I want Orange Juice Jones to come to my house
and play for me. Like, son, you should shoot higher,
we can get Orang Juice Jones. He's already out there.
He's already out there sweeping up around the pool deck.
We can get Orange Juice Jones. Do you want Duran
Duran or something? No, Daddy, I want the guy that

(54:44):
sings the rain, like okay, And so they get Orange
Juice Jones to come in there and do a show
for little Bashar and all of his friends, kind of
like when Manudo played Ricky Schroeder's birthday party on silver spoons.
So I'm guessing that his child wildhood, it's probably not
a whole lot of paint the fence, you know. And

(55:05):
then he ends up taking over for dad and goes
on to rule Syria for twenty five years into adulthood,
he's now like a fifty seven year old guy, right,
he's not real old. And finally the people Assirias said
all right enough, and they you're sitting there in your house,

(55:28):
which is probably a pretty nice compound for Bashar Alasad,
and you're looking out your window. You're like, well, those
people don't look like they're coming to do Christmas carols.
They've got torches and pitchforks. Who let the people of
this country have torches and pitchforks. Ope, they're shooting at me.
They've got guns maybe we should have let them have pitchforks.

(55:51):
They're probably not a real good name. How far can
they possibly throw that? Can they throw it up to
this window? So now it's like, all right, apparently the
people of Syria are going to overthrow the government. Where
can I go? Well, I understand the Ozarks are a
lot of fun. I don't know if I can get

(56:12):
there quickly. You know what, Russia has always been friendly
to me. I'll just escape into Russia. I'll call up
my buddy of Vladimir. Hey, pooty poot what's up, vlad Yeah,
tell you what. Yeah, I know, I'm watching the news too.
They're right outside my door. You get me out of here,

(56:33):
and they he takes the secret tunnel into Russia and.

Speaker 4 (56:37):
Now wait, there's already a secret tunnel.

Speaker 1 (56:39):
Secret tunnel, and he goes into Russia. And now he
shows up in Russia, and I'm sure that Vladimir is
like Abashar, it's great to have you here. I tell
you what. You're probably cold and tired and hungry after
the long journey through the tunnel. So what do you
want to eat? And it gets him chicken, fried rice
or whatever he wants, and and then it's like, all right,

(57:01):
so how long you plan it on staying? He's like, oh,
I thought maybe we could rule Russia together. You know,
I have this in my resume. Yeah, that's pretty good
for you in Syria. But see, Russia is a really
big country. And I don't know if you heard on
the news, but I run Russia. Yeah, but I was

(57:21):
like my family, my dad ruled Syria. Then I for
the last quarter century ruled Syria. Yeah. I know that's
really great for you, But see, you don't rul Siria anymore?

Speaker 4 (57:32):
Do you?

Speaker 1 (57:34):
See?

Speaker 4 (57:34):
Here?

Speaker 1 (57:35):
You're just a guy named Bashar who kind of looks
like someone you might find working as an accountant somewhere.
No offense to you or accountants, but you don't exactly
strike fear in the hearts of anybody, certainly not me.
So what is it that you think that you're gonna

(57:55):
do here in Russia? You're gonna have to find a job,
like a job. I'm a shar Ali sad, Yeah, you
sure are. And uh again, how long do you think
you're gonna be staying? What do you think that we're
just gonna roll out red carpets for you every day?
You're gonna live every day in the lap of luxury

(58:17):
like you're the Queen of England or a Kardashian or something.
You think that you're never gonna have to work again. Yeah,
can you fix a car? Can you make pancakes? Is
there anything you can do? Because you're not gonna be

(58:38):
able to just hang around here writing the coattails of
this being leader of Syria for twenty five years because
I don't care. No one around here cares. So tell
you what you can stay tonight, but tomorrow we'll talk
about your prospects for your future, and if we feel

(58:59):
like there are in any I'll just kill you. You're familiar
with how that works. Thanks a lot for coming, Bashar.
Make yourself comfortable. Do you need anything? You want a
glass of hot milk before you go to bed, some
really really hot milk. We don't have any. This is Russia.
How about some vodka? Can you imagine being Bashar al
Asad right now?

Speaker 2 (59:20):
No?

Speaker 4 (59:21):
What do either?

Speaker 1 (59:22):
Can? I?

Speaker 2 (59:23):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (59:23):
Wait?

Speaker 4 (59:24):
I just didn't. How did desk spots do? Where do
they go?

Speaker 1 (59:28):
I was wondering he should have gone to the Ozarks.
