Scott Vords.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I was yesterday heading to my son's basketball game in
an area high school. It was five forty five ish pm.
We had some flurries at that point, but nothing bad.
But the wind was pretty bad and the temperature was
very low. It was very cold. So as we are
(00:22):
now in high school grounds, I'm seeing high school kids
walking in and out of the school. I don't think
a single one of them had a coat on, and
most of them didn't have pants on. They're wearing shorts.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Oh, okay, were they Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
They weren't half naked or anything. It's out there nudist,
high school nudist.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Yes, yes, I'm well that would mean they wouldn't have
a coat.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Right, that's true. No, they had shorts on. Some I
saw people wearing shorts and a T shirt like running
around out to their car or whatever.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
And were they all menopausal women?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
My wife, who is also not a menopausal woman. She
she's a woman. Oh she's all woman. But no, she
was of course, you know, she's a mom. So she's like,
I don't know why these kids, and she wants to
start yelling at other people's kids.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
You usually have a coat on. You used to have
a coat on. Why come you cuts kids don't wear coat?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
And of course you know they've got like sandals or
some sort of crocs on, or those those weird boots
the ugs that get really wet and conditions like this,
and they'll be out there and they're ugly wet boots
and all that. But you know, I don't care what
these kids do. And even sometimes my kids. My wife's like, well,
(01:40):
she should have a coat on when she goes out, Like,
she won't die. If she wants to go out there
and freeze in her ice box of a vehicle and
drive to wherever she's going and not wear a coat,
she's not gonna die. So uh yeah, that's what she
wants to do. She wants to shiver, then let her shiver.
I was thinking though about this yesterday, why there's so
(02:00):
few of these darn kids today that will wear a coat,
And I think one of the biggest reasons is a
couple of things. One of the biggest is a couple
of things. I think a few of the biggest reasons
are that most of today's kids don't really ever have
to walk anywhere or ride a bike anywhere, So if
(02:23):
they're going to be outside. It's not going to be
for a very long time. At no point a little
Timmy's mommy and daddy are like, why don't you walk home?
It's not a bad day, and you only live a
mile and a half from school, why don't you walk home?
You know that very rarely happens. So they're not going
outside very long. And when they get home, it's especially
(02:48):
if they're walking home. Let's say they've got like five
blocks from elementary school. All right, I can race home.
I don't have to wear a coat, all right. When
sometimes when we got home, mommy and daddy weren't there
and for whatever reason, like we forgot to put the
key back under the rock or wherever it was hidden,
and we'd have to actually hang out outside until an
(03:13):
adult got home and we could then go in the house.
So we'd have to play outside with our friends. It
was not uncommon to come home to a locked house
that we couldn't get into. Well, now you've got to
survive out in the wilderness, which is granted, the hard
scrabble concrete jungle of Ralston, Nebraska, with our friends, which
(03:34):
was fine because that's where we wanted to be anyway,
play outside with our friends, today's kids playing outside with
their friends. It's pretty rare to see having to walk
or ride a bike anywhere. Pretty rare to see having
a vehicle that doesn't have working heater in it because
it's an old car. Pretty rare to see a lot
(03:56):
of these kids are driving newer cars to school. Then
I drive to work now, so it's not like, Hey,
the heater might go out in your old beater of
a vehicle on your way to school. You better put
a coat on, Yes, I better put a coat on.
I think it's this range of factors as to why
(04:18):
so many of them don't wear a coat.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Or could it be you always talk about how I
never reveal anything about my past.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
You never give us any glimpse of reality into your
private life, whether it's past, present, or future. Are we
going to get Are we going to get a lie?
Are you setting me up?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Actually, no, you're not getting a lie. Do you want
to hear a little Lucy Chapman story?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Yes? Please? Kindergarten always, Yes.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
It was very rare to get a ride home from
school back in those days, because you walked and it
was about I think it was about two miles that
we walked to and from school, even in grade school.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, and you're hanging out with your friends. This is fun.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Now. Having said that, I wouldn't let a kindergartener walk
two miles these days, I probably not any grade school
because of the dangers that are out there. That there
were out there when we were that young, but we
didn't know about them and they weren't as prevalent. But anyway,
so if it got to be like this, where was
snowy like this, we would my mom would come and
get us. So when that would happen, she would wait,
(05:24):
and she'd see all the kids coming out and coming
out all buttoned up and all their gloves and hats,
and then here I would come walking up the sidewalk.
If was at Boyd's school, so you had this really
long sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
From where's boyd.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Oh like Keystone, like eighty fourth and boyd Ish. So
I came. I would come walking up the sidewalk, Coate
was hanging open, hood was off, no mittens on, probably
my boots weren't even strapped up. I don't know, just
come walking. My mother would say, what are you doing?
Why are you not? And I said, I don't know. Well,
(06:01):
she talked to my teacher. She wanted to know why
I was leaving. Everybody else is opened up my kindergarten teacher, Oh,
missus linkwist. She was the best, she said, because Lucy
spends all of the time getting ready to leave, making
sure that everybody else's coat is zipped up, buttoned up,
gloves on, hats, scarves all done. That's a true story.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
You were a mom to your kindergarten peers.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Yeah, And I look at that now and I think
what happened to her? And at the same time, I'm.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Glad she's gone, No, no, no, that's that's still who
we have. That's why you do the traffic updates, making
sure everyone knows that the deal is out there.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Do you know talking to you now?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Do you know what I got yesterday morning, on a
morning when at like quarter after four am it was
barely a flurry. At no point did it heard of
me to worry about what the roads were like. Yesterday
morning I checked my phone and there's a text message
from Lucy.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
The roads are okay.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
I said that you're not usually hearing you.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
And you're coming in here all the time going do
you want a donut? Do you want brownie, I got soup.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Oh my gosh, you know she is still here.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah, we've joked for years on this program. I got
tired of saying it, so I just have a button
I pressed. Now here's the part of the show where
Lucy says she's glad she doesn't have kids.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
You do all of us.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Hmmm. At least I don't have to pay to put
it through school.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I meant to talk to you about that.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Loan's forgiven. It hasn't been great.
