Trump vs Our Addictions

MAGA and MAHA are coming after our drugs, cheap crap, and ultra-processed foods.  What is your breaking point with these addictions?  It's the drugs, isn't it?  We talk about that before I share a few stories about what a terrible father and husband I am.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vorhees. I'm going to go to one of those
poetry beat sessions where the people are up there smoking
cigarettes and wearing skinny ties and wearing berets for some reason,
and they're doing their like in your face slam poetry,
and I'm just gonna go up there and very dramatically
recite the lyrics to the Greatest American Hero Song from

(00:22):
Joey Scarbury.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
I don't think they'll get it.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
I don't think no, I don't. I don't need them
to get it. It's not for them, it's for me.
Some of these things are just for me. That would
be fun. Well, good morning, I'm Scott Vorhees. There's Lucy Chapman.
This is News Radio eleven to ten kfa B. We
are Nebraska's news, weather and traffic station. And as I
was talking to someone over the weekend, who we exchange pleasantries,

(00:49):
what do you do for a living? What do you
do for a living? I talk on the radio, Well
what do you talk about? I come on the radio
every single day, as I have for the past ten years,
and I just say, can you can you believe what
Trump did yesterday? I do that every single day. I
could I certainly could. So it seems like the latest

(01:10):
action from the Trump administration really does come down to
three things, at least three things having to do with
Americans addiction. Here's the easy one, fentanyl. A lot of
this stuff has to do with tariffs against China and
Mexico because China is apparently manufacturing the fentanyl and they're
getting into this country through Mexico, and Mexico looks the

(01:32):
other way. So if everyone could stop doing fentanyl, that
would be so much better, I think for everybody. Lucy,
will you make a commitment right now, during this Monday
of Holy Week knock it off with the fentanyl.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
I could make that commitment, but you know I don't
need to.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Because I don't because you don't do fentanyl.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
I don't do fentanyl.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Okay, well good, but that's not a commitment not to
do it in the future.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Then I will commit no car fentanyl.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
No car fentanyl. Good. Yeah. I don't mean to be
glib about fentanyl, since there are a lot of people
who die from it. They don't know that they're taking it. Again.
I don't understand the business model where someone's like, I'm
going to be a drug dealer and the first thing
I do as a drug dealer is kill my customers.

(02:28):
I don't get it. And as I always say, when
it comes to hard drugs and all the rest of
this stuff, have we completely run out of rum? Are
we out of Pino Grigio? Is it gone? Is it
subject to a tariff? I don't know about like is
it gone? So that's number one. Stop doing drugs there.
Now that's the easy one. Now the other ones are

(02:49):
going to be a little bit more difficult. And I
don't know that you're fully wrong in your addiction to
want or maybe in moderation both of these things. We'll
go first with technology. I was talking to another guy
over there. I talked to people over the weekend, and

(03:11):
he's fairly agnostic on Trump and politics, which is actually refreshing.
I could have talked to him all day. You to
have someone who doesn't have a very strong knee jerk
reaction to what's going on politically because Trump And he said, look,
I understand the maid in USA and bring jobs back here,

(03:34):
he says, but look around this office and he's looking
at his phone, he's looking at his computer. He had
a TV in there. He had like a digital clock
over here all this technology. He's like, I pick up
this stuff moderately cheaply, and I need to sorry, but
most of my life revolves around buying cheap crap from China,

(03:58):
and I have to have all this stuff, and I've
got to have it more cheaply. Now, would it be
better if that stuff were made in America? Sure it
would if American jobs. People will be buying all this
stuff made in America. But the reality of that is
it's gonna cost a lot more because stuff made in
America is subject to blah blah blah, unions, blah blah blah, regulations,

(04:21):
blah blah blah. And so yeah, I mean I'll buy
that stuff. I've already been conditioned over the years too.
If I need to buy something, I know it costs
more than it used to. That's true of everything, from
phones to eggs. Everything costs more than it used to,
and I'm conditioned to buying it. But there is a
limit to how much money I can spend on all
this stuff. If Trump starts throwing tariffs and all this

(04:45):
stuff coming from China that we used to get pretty
darn cheaply, and now it costs as much or more
as the made in America stuff. I'm still gonna buy
this from somebody, but it's gonna cost me more money,
which means that's less money I can go spend someplace else.
Americans are rather addicted to getting a bunch of this

(05:10):
cheap garbage from China, and you know some of it.
I mean, there's I've got a I shouldn't even use
this as an example because I don't know if it
comes from China. I expect it probably does, or I don't.
But I've got this cheap clock in the basement of

(05:33):
my home and it doesn't work. And every time I
look at it, and it's it's funny because it'll stop
for hours at a time and then it'll go again.
And so I laugh at myself because I keep anytime
I pass by there, I look at the clock to
see what time it is, knowing this clock's not going
to tell me what time it is. Now. It's one

(05:57):
of those that's right two times a day, except it's
not because during the day it does start to go
for like twenty minutes and then it stops again. So
it's usually right just once a day.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Have you tried changing the battery?

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Oh yeah, yeah, there's nothing to dow with the battery.
It's just sometimes the clock is like I just can't
and it just stops.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Now I understand, right, and I can really.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Right, And so I look at this thing like, this
is just a cheap piece of garbage, and I'm going
to replace it with another cheap piece of garbage. I
don't want to spend a lot of money for that.
We we're just conditioned to spend money on cheap garbage
and have it not last as long. Anyone else still
have a refrigerator, maybe you got from your parents, and

(06:41):
perhaps it's in your basement or your garage, or maybe
it's your fridge and it was made in the sixties.
Have you ever hit that thing with a nuclear warhead
and seen it continue to work? That stuff is great.
Stuff still works. My wife has a toaster that her
parents got before or she was born. And my wife's

(07:02):
ninety years old. I like older women. So we've got
this stuff. It won't break. And then the company said,
this is horrible. We need the stuff to break once
in a while so we can sell more stuff, and
we're just dumb enough to keep paying for it. You
go buy a new washer and dryer, today, you'll replace

(07:24):
it in five years probably, or you'll have to fix
it a few times. You have to make that decision. Well,
do I spend a couple hundred dollars to fix it
or I go spend eight hundred dollars to get a
new one. I guess I spend the two hundred.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Why do you think climate change people haven't attacked that more?
Because all of those washers and dryers and refrigerators and
appliances of all sorts end up someplace.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Oh oh yeah, I'm sure it's in there. Once they
really start getting after it, I tend to tune out,
So maybe they have. I don't.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
I've never heard anybody in the climate change arena say
anything about the just just millions of appliances.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
That's actually an interesting point. I'm forced to think about it. Perhaps, Well,
the climate change people want you to buy the new
stuff because it's more environmentally friendly when it's dead, but
it's not going to work as long. Right now? That
old the aforementioned old refrigerator, You know that that probably
puts I don't know, a billion coral floor carbons. Didn't

(08:30):
you have a friend named coral flora carbon?

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:33):
I know, yeah, she's poisoning the atmosphere and Lucy had
to get out of there. But it's probablyship. It's probably
putting out all this pollutants and so forth. But it's
not in the landfill because it's still in my garage.
It still works. This is a run of those refrigerators
you hand down through the generations, that old green or

(08:56):
yellowish refrigerator forever.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Between plastics and disposable appliances and disposable of electronics and
everything else. The amount of garbage that we put through
or put out in this yeah, it's unimaginable.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
I'm sure I know. Well, and then that provides jobs.
Someone's got to go and deal with all the heaps
of garbage and put it out and rocket chips and
blast it into space with Katy Perry. And that was
really the goal of this mission, Like, all right, you,
Gail King and my girlfriend, you're all going to be
blasted into space. Also, I want you to take the

(09:35):
garbage with you, jettison this into space and then come
on home. Katy Perry went in space today.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
I did not know this, And she said to prepare
for it.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
She was reading a lot of the works of Carl
Sagan So when I think some of the great minds
of our time when it comes to science and space,
I think Carl Sagan and the young woman who's saying
I kissed a girl and I liked it the taste
of her cherry chapstick. That'll be my follow up at

(10:09):
the club when I do beat poetry. First, first the
lyrics to Believe It or Not, the theme fro the
Greatest American Hero, And then I kissed a girl and
I liked it.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Are you gonna lose the turtleneck between.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
No, no, no, I might change my beret. Okay, we'll see.
So America and our reaction to all this stuff Trump
is doing comes down on three fronts. One, we have
an apparently, we have an addiction to drugs. We can't
get enough of the drugs. My goal to you, my
message to you, how about you stop doing the drugs.

(10:47):
Try it out. See how it is. Notice how the
color comes back to your face. Isn't that great? So
don't do drugs. Drink a beer once in a while.
Beer is good and good for you. All right now,
that's one. I'm not a great life coach. I admit.
Number two, we are addicted to cheap garbage from China.

(11:07):
What do you mean Trump's gonna make my technology cost
a whole lot more. Well, I know we're conditioned to
buying the cheap garbage, and I do understand. Well, if
all the cheap garbage is now just as expensive as
that really good stuff made in America, I'm gonna buy

(11:30):
it from someone selling it to me somewhere, but I'm
not gonna have as much money to spend on other stuff.
The third addiction this might be where America goes down
kicking and screaming, and it has to do with a
letter that Senator Pete Ricketts and Senator Deb Fisher sent
to RFK Junior this week. We'll talk about it next,

(11:50):
Scott voice, that's right. I knew there was a term
for it. I couldn't remember what it was. But the
idea where the companies produce stuff that only lasts a
few years so you have to replace it, there's a
term for that. Rob says, it's called planned obsolescence. Companies

(12:11):
intentionally do this to sell more product. It's unconscionable planned obsolescence. Now,
of course, none of the companies will admit to doing that,
but it's amazing that many of the same companies that
made stuff back in the fifties and sixties that are
still working and working well. All their fancy news stuff

(12:34):
doesn't work that long. Maybe it's the fact that we've
decided we have to have bluetooth enabled toasters. How am
I supposed to get toast if I can't do it
on my phone? Maybe that's the reason why some of
this stuff doesn't work as well. But hey, it's cheap garbage,
and we just keep buying it. We're conditioned to buy

(12:56):
all this cheap stuff. And if it goes up in
price thanks to Trump's tears, I don't know that Americans
are going to like it. Hey, I used to get
this for cheap. Yeah it only lasted a year. Yeah,
well it didn't cost very much. Kind of dumb, But
that's why we have That's why we have the Congress

(13:17):
that we have. Hey, what are you making fun of it? No?
Not as far as you know. All right now, everything
Trump is doing comes down to our addiction on three levels.
One drugs, knock it off there, fix that number two
cheap stuff. It's going to be tougher to get us
extracted from our addiction to cheap garbage. The third one, though,

(13:41):
is the basis of a letter from Senators Ricketts and Fisher,
as well as some members of Congress like Randy Fiinstra
and Iowa, Mark Alford and Missouri. They've sent a letter
to the Secretary of the Agriculture Brooke Rolins, as well
as the EPA Director Lee Zelden and Health and Human

(14:01):
Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Junior, and the rest of
the MAHA Commission MAHA Make America Healthy Again or a
music festival here in Omaha, but in this instance it's
the MAHA Make America Healthy Again Commission, And they said, look,
we want to tell you guys are doing a great job,

(14:21):
great leadership making sure America has healthy people. In recent decades,
chronic illness rates have risen. This warrants are careful scrutiny
and to support better health outcomes. Gotta do that, Gotta
do that. But here's the butt, here's Senator Pete Rickett's
big butt. We urge you to safeguard the work of

(14:44):
your Commission from activist groups promoting misguided and sometimes even
malicious policies masquerading as health solutions. The influence of these
groups and the Commission would result in shoddy science, a
less abundant, less affordable food supply, greater reliance on foreign

(15:05):
adversaries for our food, diminished US agriculture production and manufacturing,
and ultimately poorer health outcomes. All right, what are we
talking about? Says activist groups have tried to ban safe,
well regulated agricultural inputs by any means necessary. Without these products,

(15:28):
now we're talking about fertilizers and so forth, yields and
quality are negatively impacted by otherwise avoidable insects, fungus, weeds,
and other pest pressures. If we don't have the fertilizer
or the pesticide and the insecticide to kill these things,

(15:48):
then these things get into our supply and we have
to throw out a bunch of food. It drives up
food prices and forces reliance of food imports. We have
concerns that environmentalists are advancing harmful health economic food security
policies under the guise of human health, despite insinuations to
the contrary. Regular testing by FDA and USD officials finds

(16:10):
that more than ninety nine percent of all pesticide residues
meet extremely conservative limits established by EPA. According to the
best available science, and then it starts talking about vegetable
or plant based oils sometimes known as seed oils. Now

(16:33):
herein lies the addiction issue. I'll give you just a
touch of this and then we'll finish the rest of
the bag after a Fox News update. There are those
that say, now seed oil themselves just like anything. If
you're doing nothing but ingesting seed oils, that's probably not

(16:54):
the best thing for you. But you're not supposed to
eat the stuff that comes with the seed oils all
the time. A lot of these seed oils, not all
of them are bad. And by the way, a lot
of what these these so called environmentalists and health environmentalists
and health experts where they're getting their information, or people
on TikTok say I got acne, I gain weight, I

(17:15):
got cancer, I can't have babies, probably because you're a
guy masquerading as a woman. But be that as it may,
there are a lot of people who say these seed
oils are to blame for all these things going on
in their lives. Is it the seed oil or is
it the way it's processed and then the food that

(17:37):
it is part of. We'll talk about this next. Scott
Byes News Radio eleven ten kfab talking this hour about
some of the things that Trump is doing an Americans
reaction to these things. Yes, it's part let's see here
four thousand and eighty three in our nine million part
series about things that Trump does and ariction to these things.

(18:02):
Today it has to do with Americans addiction causing these
reactions to things that Trump administration is doing. Addiction number one.
A lot of the reasons why we have these tariffs
and so forth is and shutting down at the border
is because drugs. China's manufacturing the fentanyl. They're bringing it
in through our porous southern border with Mexico. Mexico looks

(18:24):
the other way, and the reason for that is we
can't get enough drugs. So my message to you this
is if you hear nothing else I say today, please
listen to this and hear me out. Stop doing so
much fentanyl. There Again, I know it sounds glib, but

(18:48):
I and I also know that a lot of people
have died from fentanyl because they didn't know they were
taking fentanyl. This I still don't understand a business model.
It's like, I know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna
kill my customers. That's I mean, some fast food joints
have tried, but Hot but Hot Now isn't around anymore.

(19:09):
So sorry, that was an unfair shot at Hot Now.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Are they even still in business?

Speaker 1 (19:14):
I don't think so. I hope not. I'm gonna I'm
gonna get sued.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
No.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
My only problem with Hot and remember Hot Now? Yeah, yeah,
for us, it was like a hundred well it was, yeah,
about one hundred and eighth between Q and L Mockingbird
Drive Ish. We had a Hot Now and I just
didn't like the pressure. I mean, you would you drive
up to the window like what do you want? I'm like, uh,

(19:39):
I want to cheese. Hurry up, you know, and then
you're driving up to the window and they're like hanging out.
You gotta throw the money. I don't even stop, throw
the money at them. Have exact change.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
I mean it was you don't remember that.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
The idea was the whole thing ran as a well
oiled machine, and if anyone held things up like I'm
gonna write a check for this, oh my god, the
whole thing shuts down. I just didn't need that pressure.
I just want a cheeseburger. Plus the food wasn't that.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Good, so Where was I fentanyl?

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Fentanyl? Yeah, stop doing it?

Speaker 2 (20:14):
There you said stop doing so much?

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Yes, well, stop stop doing all of it. Don't do drugs,
just say no. Think I'm the first person. If I'm
the first person to tell you that, please let it
sink in. Not like heroin, we're not talking about. Stop
doing drugs. Knock it off. If you want to be
in the fentanyl, be in the fentanyl like I'm in
the fentanyl fitting all this pizza into my mouth. Which

(20:42):
brings us to well past point number two. There's three
points of addiction. One drugs, knock it off. Two addiction
to buying cheap garbage. Three ultra processed foods.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Just say it. Seed oil.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
Well, all right, let's talk seed oil because this letter
here from Senators Rickets and Fisher to the MAHA Commission
Make America Healthy Again. That's RFK Junior and some other
Trump officials says. Plus, we got people I here blaming
plant based oils aka seed oils, is being really really bad.
All right. I've done a little cursory research on this,

(21:21):
and I've probably eaten my fair share of things that
have been cooked in seed oil. And it seems to
me that seed oils are kind of like just about
everything else. If you only eat things that are fried
up in various seed oils and so forth, then you're
probably eating a lot of fried foods. And a lot

(21:44):
of these ultra processed foods are made with seed oils
because they're cheaper. And so therefore is the problem the
oil or that which is being cooked in the oil,
because some people online say everything from acne to weight gain,
to hypertension to cancer to your head melting when you

(22:08):
look inside the arc of the Covenant is all related
to seed oils. What are seed oils? Canola oil aka,
and I think canola oil is the better term for it,
because apparently what it's really called is rape seed. Someone
decided that from a marketing standpoint, that's probably not gonna

(22:30):
sell a lot of bottles of oil. Let's not call
it rape seed canola oil or the people were buying
it for the wrong reasons and then not getting the
results that the corn oil, cotton seed, grape seed, soybean oil,
sunflower oil, sap flour oil, well, that sounds healthy. Rice

(22:52):
bran oil is did they just put words together? Rice brand?

Speaker 2 (22:56):
Is that a thing I'm not familiar with that one oil.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
And peanut oil. This is the group of seed oils
referred to as the Hateful Eight according to the Cleveland Clinic.
But they also say, look, you can cut seed oils
from your diet and probably not notice a change from
being more healthy. You might, I mean seed oils. You

(23:23):
should try and limit that which is cooked in the
seed oils more than anything else. They are most often
used in processed foods and ultra processed foods, a lot
of fast foods, a lot of these packaged foods, and
all the rest of this stuff. That's where the danger lies.
So is the problem the oil or that which is
creating that is in many instances processed an ultra processed.

(23:47):
And you shouldn't be eating an entire bag of chips
all day or this which is fat fried in that
or fried in that. So maybe just stop eating some
of that stuff all the flipping time. But rickets and
fish are saying that some of these environmental wackos are
trying to say seed oils are bad for you, and

(24:09):
they're not. I can't find anything online that says they're
particularly good for you. But I also have found people admitting, like, yeah,
I mean, generally when you're consuming seed oils. You're eating
something that's already pretty bad for you. Whether they make
it in seed oils or some or butter or something like that,

(24:31):
it's already pretty bad for you. That's why you're not
supposed to eat it all the time. So, because there
are some people who are eating nothing but deep fried
nachos three, four or five meals a day, and they're like,
I don't know, I feel a little sick. Yeah, it's
because you're a gelatinous tub of goo masquerading as a human.

(24:53):
So because some people are doing that, now you're going
to take deep fried, processed nachos away from all of
us who like to eat it once in a blue moon.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
No have you Do you think that the person that
ate all of the things that you just said, only
it was all prepared in beef tallow or it was
prepared in coconut oil or lard, do you think that
they would have the same issues. They're going to have
similar issues because you're still it's still somewhat processed food.

(25:26):
So in the high calorie, high calorie food, so you're
going to still be fat, But are you going to
be as unhealthy as you would be if you had
consumed all of those foods, had they been cooked in
seed oil. And I don't know the answer. I know
that what I think is the answer.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
What do you think is the answer?

Speaker 2 (25:45):
They would not be as unhealthy, There would not be
as many organ issues or skin issues.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Because well, you're you're only looking at one part of
the diet. You're not looking at the consumption first. While
you're not looking at people whose days and nights are
flipped around, they rather have an unhealthy lifestyle because they're
up all night staring at screens, watching movies that they
don't even care about, playing video games, drinking energy drinks,

(26:14):
staying up all night, sleeping all day. Not talking about
people that work all night and their days and nights
are turned around. That's different. But people who then wake
up in the morning and they need three or four
forty four houns energy drinks and soda pop things to
be able to stay awake, and they're snacking on unhealthy

(26:34):
things all the time, and they're not eating healthy things
at all. If a piece of spinach cross their mouth
their palette, they would spontaneously combust. I mean, you can
eliminate that which some of these processed foods are cooked in.
But when you add it all up in the rest
of this unhealthy lifestyle, you're probably what are you going

(26:58):
to do? Save them ten pounds, there's still gonna be
two hundred pounds overweight. But see here's the other part
of all this. How about this, So what someone makes
the decision like, look, I'm not at military draft age anymore.
I'm about thirty years beyond that. I don't think they're

(27:18):
gonna come after me, going well, we've already sent everyone
else in against China. It's time to go get the rather.
You know, Dad botted forty eight year old. So like,
all right, looks like I'm up, looks like I'm next.
There's your eighties movie reference for this segment of the
radio program. Well, looks like I'm next. Rebably good. I
got an underwear model and shoot at three o'clock today, beetlejuice.

(27:41):
So I don't think they're coming from me to draft
in the military. But if they do, I am ready.
My rib's hurt. But other than that, I'm in pretty
good shape.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
I I disagree with you on one quick aspect. If
you change nothing else, that's and that's the subject here.
If you change nothing other than the seed oils to
a natural oil, would your health be different? And I say,
maybe not drastically, but it would certainly be different.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Yeah, okay, yeah, it very well might be, and people
are welcome to try. I would say, if you're looking
to make your life a little healthier, certainly a little
bit of exercise, fresh air, getting a good night's sleep,
trying to reduce unhealthy stress in your life by any

(28:35):
means necessary. I know, easier said than done. And it's
some a well balanced meal once in a while. You know,
these are the things your grandma told you to do.
Not a bad idea, but you know you can listen
to some blowhard on the radio, or you can go
talk to your doctor or whatever. You know. So I mean,
but I also am definitely of the opinion say or

(28:58):
do none of that stuff. Realize the time is short,
and if you want to eat nothing but deep frat
caramel ice cream five meals a day, have at it.
You're gonna be an incredibly unhealthy thirty four year old corpse.
But I bet you got a big smile on your face.
Or you can live well into your nineties and jog

(29:19):
every day and never let any sin or vice touch
your lips and you're still going to be dead.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
What if we don't care? What if we don't have
that option? What if there is no healthy food that
you can buy. What if you cannot buy food that
has been somewhat processed, genetically modified, grown with pesticides and
different chemicals that we don't need in our bodies and
are harmful to our bodies. What if you can't, well,

(29:48):
then I guess just have a party and eat what
you can. And what diarly, what.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Do you mean? What if you can't buy that stuff?
What do you mean?

Speaker 2 (29:55):
What if that food is not available? What if everything
you go, everything you see in the store is falls
into one of those categories that I just stated.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
I believe that there are some people who really don't
know what they're doing. Like I've tried to find out,
like what are the ultra processed foods that I shouldn't eat?
And it comes up with a list of things that
I like to eat. But on the packages of all
these things, all the packages are like no, no, no,
I know, like other chicken nuggets are bad for you,

(30:25):
but these are a healthy chicken nuggets. We do this
in the process and we don't use this coding. We
instead use this, and it's made with this kind of
chicken meat, and it's not used with any of this stuff.
And I'm like, well, this sounds like a salad. I'm
gonna have some chicken nuggets or you know something. But
at the same time, I eat chicken nuggets a couple

(30:46):
times a month, you know, I'm not eating it all
the time. So I don't even I don't even know.
I don't really know what I'm not supposed to eat.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
Well, I don't think any of it.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
You know, popping chips and you know, can't and stuff
like that. Basically all the stuff my son constantly wants
to eat I can't eat anymore. He seems to not
have much of a problem with it, but he has
a problem affording it, and he has had a problem
with me telling him, yes, you can buy that. But
other than that, he seems to be growing like a weed.

(31:20):
But at some point, you can't have nothing but pop
tarts all the time. But I don't even know pop
tarts are bad for you. I hope not. I have
a pop tart once in a while. I like pop tarts.
What are you gonna do? Take away my pop tarts?
You're gonna take away my will to live. I only
just discovered s'mores pop tarts and now you're like, I
can't even have a pack of s'mores pop tarts once

(31:42):
a month. Well, if that's where we're heading, then then
that's that's where I part companies with the America that
I love. You Let me eat what I want to
eat once in a while and make my own decision.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Can you imagine if they sold pop tarts in two options,
one with the frosting and one with triple frosting.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Why why don't we have Lucy? You've just I know,
the Rosetta Stone of snacking. Why It's like when Burger
King came out and say, hey we have a double Croissan,
Which now I'm like, you could have been doing this
the whole time. Scott email here unsigned says I love
your topic. Today on MAHA Make America Healthy Again. It's

(32:25):
come out the big food slash Big Egg has partnered
with Big Tobacco to make food more addictive? What say
you to this relationship with our food producers? All right,
food more addictive? It's as addictive as you allow it
to be. I think not to say that addiction is

(32:47):
a choice, necessarily, But there will be some people who
eat or smoke, or do or gamble with something and
don't have a problem, and others who can't help but
have a problem with it. And that respect is not
whether they've made it addictive. It's whether you have that issue.
And what I hear you saying is that they've made
it taste better, fine, good, that's kind of what we want.

(33:10):
I still don't exactly know, Like what should I absolutely
not eat and don't give me a category, give me
a product. I need someone to tell me stop eating
this product, not this category, Like stop buying the box
of this stop and bear in mind, I don't drink

(33:34):
a lot of pop. I don't eat a lot of
Think about whether you want a lot of people. I
don't need a lot of processed food. Not as much
as I used to my wife when we were just
a couple of young kids wondering whether we take this

(33:57):
plunge and spend our lives together. We're in a mid
twenties and she came over to my apartment, and you know,
I gave her a grand tour of my studio apartment.
Like that's the north wall over here is the east wall.
Over there's the bed. Not interested, okay, And so then

(34:17):
she goes to the refrigerator. It opens it up, and
she still laughs about this. In my refrigerator there was
a bottle of ketchup, probably been there for several months,
and I think maybe a couple of beers. She goes,
where's all your food? And she opened the beer, opened
the Yeah, no, this wasn't this wasn't for the and

(34:41):
these weren't ingredients for a bigger meal. It's in my
fridge like a couple of beers, maybe a few slices
of pre packaged cheese, and a bottle of ketchup. She goes,
where's all your food? And then she opened the freezer
and there was the box of chicken wings, and the
and the oven pizzas and the hot pockets, you know,

(35:02):
all this other stuff in there. Like I don't exclusively
just eat all that stuff, but I still like to
eat that stuff once in a while. Except hot pockets.
I can't do it. I ate so many when I
was a single apartment dweller in my early to mid twenties.
I can't. I can't eat another one. So many hot pockets,

(35:22):
hot pocket you.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Know what I bet you could eat. I bet that
if somebody made you a hot pocket, the dough and everything,
I bet you not only would be able to eat it,
but you would love.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
It like a homemade hot pocket. Just don't call it
a hot Just don't use those terms. I'm immediately turned off,
you know. And plus it's not just the hot pocket,
it's my lack of patience for preparing it the right way. Yeah,
it's in the microwave for one minute, in eleven seconds.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
It's a long time.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
That's I don't know what the box says. I know
it's like. Or you could make it in the oven
and take twenty minutes. No, one minute and eleven seconds.
I don't even have the time.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
You didn't like it, didn't get crispy.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
I don't even have the time to put in different numbers,
just one one, one start.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
Nobody got time for it.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
So you know something needs to be in there. Or
even if it's like a one minute, put it in
there for fifty five seconds five to five start. Think
of all the time you save your entire life by
not having to look for all those different buttons. So
it would come out and like the cheese would be
as hot as the core. Of the sun, the meat

(36:34):
would be frozen, the outside of it would be soggy
hot pockets.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
You don't think I could eat very many of those initially,
much less later in life, right the way you describe it.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Here are a couple of emails on all that. Cat
emails says, good morning Scooter and Lucy, well thank you cat.
One question is how come if so much is unhealthy
what we eat? Why are people looking younger and living longer.
That's a good question. Remember when people were in their
eighties and they were just sitting there with their mouths open,

(37:10):
waiting to die, and you're like, how are they still
a lie? They didn't know whether they were a foot
or horseback. Today's people in their eighties are actually on horseback.
They're out, they're out riding, they're out playing pickleball, they're
working out of the gym, they're swimming laps. When we
were growing up, if you were in your eighties, you
were just sitting there going and you're like, I think

(37:34):
great Grandpa's dead, and wow, yeah, I think that was
a fun game we used to play. We go over
to my great grandparents' house. They had a little evil
canievel on the motorcycle. That little toy. I don't know
where they got this. I think they probably bought at
the store, Like this is the one toy we have.

(37:55):
When our great grandkids come over. We would go over
to their house and it's this great old South on
Maha home where you had to walk something like I
don't know, an entire Aztec pyramid worth of stairs to
go up to the front door of their home. You
park in the street, you walk up the stairs on
this hill to their home, like all these great South
Omaha and neighborhood. Oh. Sure. As a kid, it felt

(38:16):
like it was just an impossible amount of stairs. It
was probably eight stairs. But then you get to the
top and you take evil and evil and you go,
all right, evil, let's see if you can jump this
one bam down the stairs. It was great. And then
we'd play that and we'd go inside and play this
fun game called let's see if Great Grandpa dies. Today
people are awful. It was the seventies. This is what

(38:38):
we did for entertainment.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
I want to answer that question, why do we look
younger and live longer. I don't know about the look younger,
other than maybe we didn't have the kind of stress
that our generations had before us. Certainly since the eighties,
we really haven't had to face an all out war. Yes,
definitely in Afghanistan, and certainly we were affected by that,

(39:04):
but not like they have in the past generation. So
that could be part of the aging issues. But you
talk about living longer, Sure we're living longer, but it's
not comfortably. We have diabetes, we have back issues, we
have brain issues, we have liver issues. Whatever. The people

(39:25):
that are living today are not nearly as healthy as
the people who did diet, as you know, probably in
their fifties and sixties.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
This message brought to you by Lucy Chapman's Assisted Suicide
online at Lucy Chapman's Assisted Suicide dot com.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
Tell me I'm wrong.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
You know, if you live longer, you're going to have something.
You can have something wrong with you.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
Kat's example here is look at Archie Bunker. He looked
like he was in his sixties. He was forty seven
years old when that show was out in the seventies.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
I think you have to add style in there too.
I mean it was just the society.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
Now, Adam says. He says, Scott, I'm just a machinist.
So as far as the rancid seed oils, which they
are measurably oxidized from the factory and bleached to remove
the scent of being rancid, It's not about that sounds delicious.
It's not about calories. It's about your body's ability to

(40:21):
process and use those as building blocks. As far as
process foods, it's truly addictive because of ingredients like maltoed dextrin,
modified food starch, dextros corn syrup that are used specifically
to get the dopamine hit, just like the drugs you
were talking about. In other words, they're making good food
taste better. I like it. I don't have a problem

(40:44):
with this, says Once you stop eating seed oils for
several months, you'll recognize those chicken nuggets is smelling rancid
when your kid takes them out of the air fryer.
All that food is pre fried and seed oils that
have been absolutely wrecked and used for hundreds of hours.
In some case, for what it's worth, I lost seventy
pounds by cutting the garbage out. It cured my skippy

(41:05):
heartbeat that had caused me some pretty severe anxiety for
about ten years, stiff joints, gird and skin problems. That's
from Adam. He said, I'm just a machinist, but those
are his those are his experiences. And yeah, I mean.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
I'm losing your response, not his email.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
Look, the amount of like asa E bowls that I'm
meeting now compared to just over a year ago is
up eight thousand percent. Now the amount of salads I
have for lunch is down thanks COVID. Used to be
able to go to the grocery store and they have
a little salad bar out there, and then COVID came.

(41:49):
They're like, we're not going to do the salad bar,
and so I have a hard time just getting a quick,
cheap salad. So granted that's down, but there is a
restaurant here in the Dundee neighborhood. I really like their salads,
probably because they're just soaked in some dressing that can't
really be that good for me. I don't know how

(42:11):
much how healthy I am, But hey, what should I
not eat? We're talking about ultra processed foods and all that,
and it seems like all these things say, well, don't like.
One of the things on the list is granola bars. Well,
every morning before the radio show, I eat the pack
of the two Nature Valley Oats and Honey granola bars,

(42:33):
green box, green package, and it said, I hear the
ultra processed foods, you shouldn't eat granola bars like granola bars.
And so I checked our oats and Honey Nature Valley
granola bars bad for you, and it came up as
not an ultra processed food. This is a healthy snack.

(42:53):
It might have a few more calories than RFK Junior
would prefer, but it's fine. So like, tell me exactly
the product not to eat. My email says, peeps. I'm out, what.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
If you're roast them?

Speaker 1 (43:11):
Yeah, I'm out. What I mean, don't eat peeps? First
of all, I'm gonna eat peeps. Secondly, what do you
think I'm eating peeps all year round?

Speaker 2 (43:23):
Well you can happy now, Happy fourth of July.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
Here's some peeps. I would and wash it down with eggnog,
but I don't eat the stuff all the time. All right,
I uh, lucy, did you have a nice weekend? I
don't want to start talking about my weekend before ignoring
the vast wasteland of despair that I'm sure it was
once again your weekend and that if you're just joining

(43:47):
the program, that's a running gag on the show because
it's absolutely true.

Speaker 2 (43:50):
Yeah. I started it off by I started making.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
Some French Lucy's making something.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
I started digging a trench in that little you know,
the little strip between your your yard and the street.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
So I started digging a trench in my yard. Yes,
and by the by the end of Saturday night, I
was about three quarters of the way around the block.
It's not deep, It's only like seven inches deep.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
So, are you're digging a moat around your castle? Is
that what you're doing?

Speaker 2 (44:18):
Well, you know it's actually around the entire neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
Okay, do your neighbors care that you're doing this because
it sounds like you're in their yard.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Well, nobody actually said anything.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
Did you call dig right before you dug? Or did
you hit a bunch of lines? Is that why there
was no power at Boystown? It could be on Saturday morning.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
I have little baby alligators on the way. I'm going
to put them in there, but right now, right now,
I'm just going to finish digging it and then fill
it with water.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
That'd be adorable, though, little baby alligators so cute and.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
See they'll die by the winter, and then you want
to worry about it.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
See, I'm so glad you had an exciting experience this weekend.
That's all totally true.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
Now for me, Yes, what was your weekend like?

Speaker 1 (45:00):
Well, on Friday, My apologies if you've already seen my
social media post on this, but on Friday, my daughter,
senior in high school, had an all day tennis tournament.
She was in Fremont all day big doubles tournament. They
lost the first two, but they came back and won
the last two, so that's good. It was really their

(45:22):
second tournament playing as doubles partners, so something to build upon.
But Friday was pretty nice day and it was sunny
just about all day, and so I sent her a
text message. I said, hey, girl, you're gonna want to
wear sunscreen today because you have prom tomorrow and your

(45:44):
date doesn't want to take Bob the tomato to prom tomorrow. Okay, Dad,
did she listen to me? No, of course, because my
daughter is under the impression she has skin like her mother.

(46:06):
Her mom is half Hispanic, which means my daughter is
officially quarter Hispanic, but in looking at her you'll realize
there's really she didn't get any of that spicy Latino
blood and in her skin. She's pasty, just like her dad.
I win, how about this Dutch DNA? You like this?

(46:29):
You want some of this? That's how that's, by the way,
how I met my wife. I used that line, did
you Yeah, how about this work? How about this Dutch dna?
You want some of this? So my daughter was under
the impression that she just needed this would be a
great chance for her to get a great base tan.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
Maybe she wanted to wear it, but she read the
ingredient ingredients and it had benzon night in it.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
I don't think that's the thing. But no, there was
none of that. She just you know, Dad suggested something.
Oh Dad didn't know what he's talking about. Yeah, her pasty.
Father's face is ravaged with the things that have been
burned or cut out due to skin cancer. Why would
I have any idea what I'm talking about. So my
daughter got absolutely blisteringly torched. There this second degree burns

(47:25):
on one part of her face from getting torched. Oh wow,
oh yeah, oh yeah. And that happened on Friday, and
again Saturday was her senior prom and she was on
the prom court. She could have been prom queen. Did
they name her prom queen? Not? After looking at Bob

(47:46):
the Tomato showing up in a beautiful lavender dress, she
looked like a princess. And now with girls, they you
guys have enough makeup and cover and foundation and stuff
that you can go in there not looking like dan
Aykroyd from the movie Nothing but Trouble. So look that
one up, kids, your eighties movie reference for this segment

(48:06):
of the radio program My Skunk. There's a little known
movie reference on. Anyway, So my daughter was was really
really sunburned, and I was thrilled. This could not have
been better because all night her date, you know, dancing

(48:30):
with her and you know, trying to kiss her and stuff,
and all night she was just like, ouch, that hurts.
Don't touch ouch, Oh please, don't touch. You know, shoulders
are torched, back was torched, Your face was torched. Did
she say don't touch, Yes, don't touch stop touching me. Yes,
that's what every father wants his daughter's senior prom. That

(48:54):
was great.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
Congratulations, Yeah, just worked like a charm.

Speaker 1 (49:01):
I tell you what, if your kid, your daughter doesn't
have prom yet, take her out for a good long
hike the day before prom with no sunscreen. This message
brought to you by the American Dermatological Association and petty
fathers everywhere. So that's that's how things went with my daughter.

(49:23):
She otherwise had a lovely time, and I'm so glad.
Senior prom I'm told can be a wonderful experience, wasn't
for me. I went by myself. It's a long story.
Here's the short story. It's not that long a story.
My date decided she didn't want to go to the

(49:45):
problem with me three days before the prom.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
Well, at least she gave you three days notice.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
Yeah, it was great, it's fantastic. So I wanted to
go because it was my senior prom. I didn't want
to scrounge up a prom date last minute, Like, oh, I,
I always wanted to go to a problem with you.
You're not going right, all right? You are okay? Do
you have any friends who aren't going? You have nothing
else going on on Saturday? Do you have any friends
with very low standards? So I just thought, all right,

(50:11):
I'm just going by myself. And I was still putting
together video for a senior class video, and so I
wanted to do some of that, so I went there.
I got the video, but I didn't want to so
I dressed like the Phantom of the Opera because I
thought that would be funny. And none of my classmates
were at all shocked by this. This was pretty much

(50:34):
who I was for most of high school. That explains
I was the kid that went to school dressed in
something goofy and uh, and it was just kind of like,
that's Scott.

Speaker 2 (50:49):
Why didn't you dress up like ducky.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
It was a whole thing. Nah, I didn't because it
wasn't nineteen eighty five. It was nineteen ninety five. So yeah,
I'm told that. But for a lot of people, their
senior problem is a great experience. I have a different story,
but I'm so glad I went anyway. That's how my
daughter spent her weekend. Now, my son, we had some

(51:15):
unpleasantness on Saturday night. It's my fifteen year old freshman son.
He decided to try and ask me questions I couldn't
quite answer about what was going to go on the
next morning, as I was half asleep lying in bed
late on Saturday night after coming home from a late
Saturday basketball game before an early Sunday basketball game, and

(51:37):
he's like, can we do this? No, Well, probably it's
probably because it's probably not going to work. Yeah, but yeah,
but yeah, And on the fourth yeah, but I just
I was like, you already got your answer four times.
Go to bed, leave me alone. You know, so unpleasantness.
So the next morning I said, son, I, you know,
I never like it when it gets to that level.

(51:58):
I tell you what, if you want to live, if
you want to win back my love and respect, you
need to score ten points in this game. This morning,
my wife is like Scott, I said, hey, these children
know my love is conditional, a lot of conditions, So
for you ten points. So they went out there and

(52:23):
got whooped. His team got whooped. It looked like they'd
played a late game on Saturday and weren't quite awake
on Sunday. But my son, with about two minutes to go,
had scored seven points, and he suddenly was acting like
he was Steph Curry with a few seconds left trying

(52:44):
to win the NBA Finals. He kept passing and getting open,
and they wouldn't pass it back to him. Someone else
thought they'd better miss a shot once in a while,
So my son is now. He takes it down, goes
over to the right wing, takes a couple of breaks,
steps back, knocks down a three pointer and looks at
me with a look in his face like that's ten,

(53:06):
old man, you have to love me again. That is
a true story, one hundred percent. And I told I'm
sitting there with my dad and I said, Harrison's trying
to get another three because he needs it to get ten.
And so that became the drama at the end of
this game that was way out of hand. They were
not going to win, but it was question as to
whether he was going to get to ten. And he

(53:28):
stepped back and knocked down that three and just looked
over at me like yeah, and so it'll go down
as one of my favorite basketball games of all time. Yeah,
they got beat by twenty four points.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
Is a great story.

Speaker 1 (53:41):
My son made the three and he's like, Dad, you
gotta love me. I'm like, hey, a deal's a deal. Now.
My wife thinks I'm a terrible, terrible father, But like
I said, at least i'm a bad husband. These are
the comments I can only make on the radio when
I hope my wife isn't listening. But I noticed something

(54:06):
over the weekend that I'm wondering, wondering whether this dynamic
exists with all women. Lucy is the official woman of
this entire radio station, and thanks so much for being here,
Lucy token Chapman here with us on KFA B. B

(54:27):
stands for boys.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
But well, we have Courtney.

Speaker 1 (54:32):
We do have Courtney. Donahoe you want me to get
her on the phone. No, probably don't do anything. All right,
interesting dynamic. I love my wife's friends, but but they're
I mean, let me, let me put it this way.

(54:55):
My wife is, uh, you know, has been texting a
couple of very close friends. And then she'll tell me
and I'm like, I didn't ask, And then she'll tell
me all these things going on in their lives. I'm like,
I don't know if they want me to know all
this stuff. If they wanted me to know, they can
call me. They got my number two, but whatever it's
And so it's like, yeah, this person, I mean just

(55:19):
really really bad things going on in her marriage, and
it's just yeah, she's I think she's fooling herself into
believing it's something that it's not, and she knows that
she needs to make a decision and he knows too,
but I don't know what kind of masquerade they're playing,
but it's an absolute mess and it's really hard to see.

(55:39):
And then I was talking to my other friend about it,
and you know, she's my gosh, fooling herself about it,
like everything is Trump's fault. Everything is Trump. All the
fact that that you know, there were layoffs in her
family going back to before the election. This is apparently
all Trump's fault. And said her four oh one k
was cut in half last week. They lost half of

(56:02):
their four oh one k last week with the market downturn.
I said, that's nearly impossible. The market fell about seven
percent and then the next day was up almost seven percent.
If you lost fifty percent of your retirement in that stretch,
you need to have a serious conversation with your financial advisor.

(56:22):
Like I don't know what investments they have. I guess
it's possible, but it's nearly impossible. It sounds like a lie,
But you know, whatever, everything's Trump's fault. And I said,
I'm sorry that their lives aren't going all that great.
Why were you talking to them? She's like, well, I
needed their support and counseling on something like, wait, these

(56:43):
are the people you turned to Like, She's just like, hey,
my live my friend's lives are an absolute dumpster fire,
and I reached out to them so they could help
me through something like why would you do that? It's
like going to me for dietary advice. You see that
guy over there with the dad bod who prematurely gray,

(57:06):
has fourteen different colors on his face due to sunspots
and scarring everything else from ravage from skin cancer. I'm
gonna go talk to him about a good health regimen.
Guy over there with dad bod, guy over there with
bad back who's been told what you need to do
is stretch more. You're right and then he stretched not
at all. I'm gonna go talk to him as my

(57:29):
health and wellness coach. Why would anyone do that? But
is this just how women are? Because I can tell
you this if I were going through a bad time,
which thankfully has never happened, but if I were going
through a bad time, I think about all of my

(57:50):
male friends. I'm talking about people I've known since I
was a kid, good friends of mine from when we
were kids, who I still get together with. I go
on trips with these guys, we could, I suppose, talk
about anything, but we don't. And you know what, that's
very helpful. When I get together with those guys, we

(58:12):
talk about dumb stuff. We laugh about the same dumb
stuff we've been laughing about for years. We tell the
same dumb stories have been laughing about for years, and
I feel better having spent time with them. We don't
talk about anything serious, and if we do, it's someone
else says that's gay, and then we move on that.
These are the guys I grew up with. So I mean,

(58:34):
that's how guys are.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
Yeah, women do it, but we do it because when
we're younger, we just want to get the all the
advice we can get, but more so, we want to
just have conversation, and we want our conversation to be interesting.
I think that a lot of that comes from that,
not that it wouldn't be true.

Speaker 1 (58:53):
It sounds like women talk to their friends, yes, for
the same reason that people would watch Jerry Springer. It's like,
I just want to see how bad this train wreck
is today and feel better about it. I want to
feel better about my life based on what these people
are doing.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
I don't know there, I mean there could always could
be an aspect of that. But but I think as
you get older, you you revert to virtually never talking
about that kind of stuff, even women, at least That's
what I'm seeing in my life. My friends.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
Well, of course the question would come up, like, why
doesn't your wife talk to you about She said she
needed her friends for some support. Why didn't she talk
to you, Scott? Do you need to do you really
need to ask that question? She not got to talk
to me.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
No, that's that's not an option. Really. I mean, if
there are do you there are some things.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
That Yeah, I think she was talking to them this
weekend because I was watching golf all weekend.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
Okay, is that what she was talking about?

Speaker 1 (59:59):
No? Maybe it's like I really need to talk to
my husband. But he said, hang on, after this the
Masters is done. It's like it's Thursday. Like, when's the
Master's done? Sunday around six o'clock unless it goes to
a playoff and it's going to go a little later.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
I'll just go out of town for the weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
Oh it's going to a playoff. Hang on, But I
have dinner ready over here. The family is all sitting
here ready to eat. Yeah, go ahead and start without me.
We're not going to start without you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:27):
That's what I would do.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
Well, the Masters might be done after this whole Well
what happens If it's not, then they go to ten
and then they go to eighteen, and then they just
keep doing that until they run out of daylight. Then
it could happen tomorrow and I'll just I'll have to
take off work.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
But I think if I was told that you're checking
out for the entire weekend, I'd say, okay, bye. Yeah,
I know, going to Kansas City with my girlfriends.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
My wife had left the house. I don't remember if
it was Saturday or Sunday. For a couple of hours,
I didn't know she was gone.

Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
I don't say that I didn't know she was gone.
Stop saying that I didn't know. You're gonna know when
you get home.

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
She is listening seeing my phone text up with her
wonderful memoji. Sometimes I call him I got to get
back on my wife's good side. Sometimes I honestly used
to be I call my wife when I'm in the
car because my car is connected via the car play
and all that stuff, and so the screen pops up
with her memoji, which is her little cartoon face with

(01:01:34):
this ridiculous muppet smile and it's just the cutest thing
in the world. And so I call her and I
tell her I was like, I just wanted to hear
your voice and see this picture on my screen. It
makes me hair.

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
Oh that got her back.

Speaker 1 (01:01:47):
Yeah, She's like, did you need And she's like, did
you need anything? I'm busy. Not all of us get
off work at eleven o'clock in the morning. I'm doing stuff.
I'm like, it's just love hearing your voice. She's like,
you don't need anything. Can you pick up our kid
after school? Nah, I'm probably gonna be golfing. How about
you do it? I'm busy. Well, I just love hearing

(01:02:08):
your voice, honey by. And she's like, he's not even
listening to me. Yeah, that's how that goes, all right.
We talked about some of the Trump stuff in the
last hour. Things he is doing to slash for us whatever.
Right now, he's meeting with the president of is that

(01:02:29):
the leader of El Salvador on criminal deportations of that country.
You know what Chicago decided that they're not going to
do next month because of Trump. I'll tell you next.
Scott Boys News Radio eleven ten Kfaby Mark says, it's
a beautiful story about the conditional love of a father.

(01:02:49):
It reminds me of nineteen seventies Dad. To this day,
when I see a football, I still feel like I
have to give a second effort to get that extra
half yard rushing. Yeah, that's how we grew up, and
that's how that's how we're raising our kids. Rub some
dirt in it, you're fine. We have three Omaha teenagers

(01:03:09):
planned to steal from a says a megastore, a Walmart
at ninety ninth and Blair high Road. They camped out
behind the paper towels. They set up like a hammock
back there, and they were just gonna wait until the
store closed. Isn't Walmart twenty four hours?

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
I don't think it anymore anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:03:30):
Maybe some of them aren't. Yeah, they want to steal
video games instead. They got busted. Fifteen year old, two
fifteen's and a sixteen year old. But they were going
to be there all night. Their parents didn't know who
they were, all right. So Trump is talking with the
leader of l Salvador right now, and they're talking about
anyone we want to deport to your country. You're going
to take right, Yes, mister president, great job, all right,

(01:03:52):
even if they're not technically in this country illegally or
gang members, you bring them all over, mister president. That's great.
At least that's the assertion that some people are making
about what's going on with the Trump administration and their deportations.
In fact, the leaders of Chicago's annual Cinco de Mayo
parade have announced that they are canceling that annual event

(01:04:15):
because they're afraid that Trump's people are going to come
in there, raid the parade and deport everybody to else,
to Al Salvador just for being at the Cinco de
Mayo parade in Chicago. Trump was like that Chicago is
quite astute. We are absolutely going to do that, so

(01:04:39):
he didn't say that. I don't know about other I
would hope that the Cinco de Mayo activities are still
going on here in Omaha as we lead up to
that day. I would hope it's they're fun and even
if I get deported, I'm going to have a great
time while doing it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:59):
I would think that they are still happening here.

Speaker 1 (01:05:01):
That's right. Meanwhile, a lot of illegal immigrants are like,
he's still doing the showerhead thing, right. We like that.
We want to stay in America. We're going to become
legal people in America just so we can enjoy the showerheads.
