KFA B family. And one of them is rejoining us

a Twister radio station. But yeah, it's great to have you. Yeah,
it's great to have you with us here. Burry, welcome
back to eleven ten KFAB smell.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
It's the same in here.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yes, it's had a few changes since you. You and
KFAB you win a different direction in your life. It
did and career, and you spend more time on the
radio with Larry the cable guy than you do with
any of us anymore. And now you're on Sirious Exam
with Larry's Larry and Jeff and Larry's Comedy Round Up
(01:38):
Comedy Channel, and you can hear him and you on
there with him from time.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
To time, time to time.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Yeah, I yeah, like you said, I had a couple
of kids.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Two to be exact, adorable. Yeah, that's a good time.
It's a good time.
Speaker 3 (01:53):

stay tuned Thanksgiving break, we'll do one.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
You can buy tickets, come watch me live. So it's
a good time.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah, Well you did the Wide World of Whack on
Chris Baker's show, remember when. Yeah, Yeah, that name rings
a bell. Chris, my friend of thirty years, certainly rings
a bell.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
And so you were a part of that show, which
is really funny because you were working here at the
radio station as a sales associate. Yes, and Chris, which
is one of his best qualities, just like starts pulling
people from around the building to be a part of
his sphere. And you got in on the show and
(02:41):
became a fixture. Yeh, and it reversed trivia wide world
of whack. You did some stuff on kfab's Morning News
with Carrie Sadlemeyer and we just couldn't get enough Bird,
and so it's very cool to have you back here.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
It was fun how it happened, too, because I remember
standing at my desk talking to doctor Alex not a
doctor do yet and yeah, Chris came down and like
I'd been here maybe just a year or so, and
he came down, was like, hey, hey, you're Bird, right, Okay,
come upstairs and read these headlines to me. And I
(03:13):
was like, okay, yeah, cool, all right. So then I did,
and then he's like, okay, so.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
After this, we're going to do it every day from
two to three.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
And I'm like all right, great. And then a couple
of weeks later, we moved it to the five o'clock
period so everybody else could hear me make really good
jokes and you can.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Finish up your workday. So your sales managers didn't say, hey,
do you want to be upstairs or do you want
to be downstairs? Here, I want to be all downstairs
if downstairs pays your salary here. If you want to
go play upstairs for free, you grow it ahead. So
there was an issue, but it all got smooth and
overst fine. Yeah, and now you're working with concrete.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Right, well, yeah, that's hard and fast. Yes, like concrete. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I after I retired from here because I also had
a baby and I just wanted to do something different.
I went and worked for an automotive dealership for a while,
and then I think I just decided I like to
work from my self, not anybody else. So we had
(04:18):
heard of an opportunity with some new ordinances and opportunities
through the city, of a new type of concrete that
can be produced, and so I said, I want to
be the first in Omaha. These things have been around
since the sixties, and I thought, well, if it's new here,
I want to be the name the face of volumetric concrete.
(04:39):
So I bought a concrete truck and now I own
a concrete supply company.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Awesome. If you're going to give yourself a free plug,
then you should probably slow down the name of your business.
Who is this concrete on tap concrete? What volume metric concrete?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Do you want to have a twenty minute conversation about that,
or do you want to do you want to talk
about ad vans dropping, the Ohio State, the Spirit Stick.
So Concrete on Tap, Yeah, website.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Concrete on tapllc dot com for all of your concrete
needs sort.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Of conveniently located. You know, all the other things that
they put in all these yeah advertisements.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, I'm a delivery service. I'm just a concrete supplier.
So if you need some work done, you can always
call me, because you'll get me on the phone and then.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
We can chit chat about everything that is Bird that's
me here.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
And because you infamously did the Wide World of Whack,
I've compiled a number of stories here, everything from some
things that are rooted in some of the more lighthearted
things happening in Washington, DC here recently. Kay okay, to
a great Florida man story. Oh bring it always, Florida.
(05:52):
You want to do some wide World of whack and
hang out here for a little bit, Yeah, all right,

that you're the bee's knees, and then, in true Dave
Wingert fashion, several ex'es and o's emojis and smiley faces
and all the rest of it, right back at you,
Wings All right, thank you very much for listening. So
Bird was doing the Wide World a whax segment, which
was a whole bunch of stories that you or producer
(06:38):
Josh would compile and then you come in the show,
come on the show here and go through all these
wacky stories in the news. Yeah, you've prepared none of
that today.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Not a single thing.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Do you want to tell me why exactly you're here?
Because you said you said, I'm going to bring you something.
I said, why don't you come hang out on the
radio and then you can bring me stuff? What have
you got piled up in front of you?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Okay, do you remember, my Jack?

Jags back in. So I made the adult.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Decision to sell it on Facebook Marketplace.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah, I know, I had to get rid of my
two seater pickup truck that I loved so I could
get a four seater, you know, Sedan, something more responsible.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Ugh, I know, I know. So I sold it for
six thousand times the price I paid for it. Nice,
not joking, and yeah, and to a very nice gentlemen
into Moines.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
So have fun with that. But when I was on
my one last That's ride this weekend, also, I just
I love that car. I'm gonna miss it so much.
I felt like James Bond in that car.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I feel like it always helped me when I went
on my sales calls here because I could pull up
in the clients would be like.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Bird yeah what yeah, and as I mean, you're you
owned a Jag. I forget how you said the full
name of the car Jaguar. Okay, so you are a
pretentious jerk, all right, so go on google it. Anyways,
I just called it Jaguar.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It's Jaguar. It isn't I've had one, so you know.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
You're not some sort of weird European. You know, some
some sort of Europeans, like, we don't really know. We
don't really know which European country. Just one of those
over there. It's not one of the big ones. It's
one of the smaller ones.

you were here.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Also true, Yes, anyways, So I sold it, and when
I was on my last cruise, I was like, oh man,
I can't leave these tapes in here because we had
a borrowing system.

an array of cassette tapes that I could play in
the jat and still do. Yeah, So I brought you
back your meat loaf. Oh yes, I gave you you.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Okay, so you lost your eyesight. Your daughter's eighteen, going

Speaker 1 (11:30):
I can't see anything.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
What's happened?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I told my wife stopped buying me books. It hurts
to read them. She says, you need to get readers.
I said, you need to leave me alone right now.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Oh it's oh, it's our theme song uptied. Everything's all right.
It's the first track on site too. It took it
took me a second to focus, but I can I

Speaker 3 (12:06):

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Okay, who said that? You want to do?
Speaker 2 (12:10):

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Now?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Thanks? Scott?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Just really glad you're here.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah, alrighty, really glad you're here on radio.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
And no, you are a vision as always, and not
just because you brought me back my dubbed copy who
did dubbed Straight out of Compton because my parents were
not gonna let me buy Straight out of Compton.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah, you started writing the song titles yeah on the inside,
and then you scratched.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Them out after about three weeks.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
So yeah, I think we were fine with the first
song that Straight out of Compton. I think then it
goes to gangsta gangst a third track was gonna be
a problem. I believe that's an issue that they had
with the police, and as a as an an adolescent,
I think that probably came out about the time I
was eleven twelve, somewhere in there. I thought that was
(13:01):
the coolest thing I've ever heard, and I still love
the album. But Straight out of Compton by Nwa I
listened to now through an adult lens, and what I
hear now is twelve songs, eleven them. Eleven of the
songs are about selling drugs, murdering people, slapping hose and
(13:26):
really gangbanging all this stuff. And then and then there's
one song where they take exception to the police having
a problem with them doing all of those things. And
I'm like, I don't know that this is an issue
with the police. Perhaps if you don't break the law,
that maybe the police won't harass you as much. But yeah,
(13:49):
like I said, it's more of an adult lens. I
still listen to it though.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I look back on the tunes that I jam to
when I was like eleven, twelve thirteen, I had no
busy biness singing and dancing along to those songs. No,
absolutely not what My children are never leaving my house.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
No, I know well, and today's music it's.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Wheels on the bus. I don't know anything else. What
are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (14:14):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Just have you done silly songs with Larry no Vegie tails?
Do everyone a favor in your family, Silly songs with Larry,
Silly songs with Larry. Larry's a cucumber and he and
his friend Bob the Tomato do silly songs with Larry
by the Veggie Tales. It is the greatest album that's
ever made. Yeah, you'll love it.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I will tell you, because I'm still in my newborn bubble.
But we like Hey Bear.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
It's on YouTube. It's dancing fruit. But like the music
that they dance to, absolute bangers, Like I'm okay with.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
A three hour video on YouTube because the music's good,
like like I like it.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, you've got to find some kids, some shows that
you and kids can enjoy together.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
The one show I wouldn't let my kids watch. The
other two shows Dora the Explorer and then her cousin,
Diego the I don't know that he had a title,
but Dora was an explorer and Diego did stuff with
dolphins and stuff, and I wouldn't let my kids watch
it because it was too dumb. Diego would be standing
there on the beach right next to a sea turtle
(15:21):
and he would say, do you see the turtle? Where's
the turtle? Do you see the turtle. I can't see
the turtle. I'm like, it's Scott.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
You literally just talked about how you can't see anymore.
Maybe he also the turtles.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Is not in fine print on the back set deck.
The turtle is right and he's looking in the sky.
Been through what there's no turtle up there? Why are
you looking up there? Look down where the turtle is
is right next to you.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Maybe he's I didn't know he was blind this whole time.
You've seen those videos where babies get glasses. I'm not
Maybe he's just been going through his whole life like
I can't see anything.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I'll tell you what video I've seen is where people
through the newborn into the swimming pool and float. Maybe
you can just float, yeah, teacher, maybe floor. Yeah, let's
just sweak.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Did you watch the video I sent you yesterday?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Did you send me a video yesterday? I think?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Did I send you the movie premiere that I did?
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah, yes, you you said, oh you want me to
be on the radio. Are we going to talk about this?
Clearly we're not going to talk about anything. Uh. And
then you sent me a video of a fake movie
or TV like TV movie that.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Was someone's final project. Yeah, at you and O in
the School of Communication.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
And I had to act in it.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yeah, it was beautiful.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I'm standing on phone books in those scenes.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Hallmark movie worthy.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
It was fantastic.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Let's do one wide whirl of wax story just to
Florida said we would do. Okay, let's do Florida Florida
Man first.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
It feels that was like ninety percent of my material
was Florida Man from the state of Florida.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
All right. An Florida man is a cue of assaulting
employees at a subway restaurant because they had bad attitudes.
Forty five year old forty five year old Edward Cocaine
has been arrested. No, it is spelled like Cocaine, and
the Sheriff's office noted yes, that is his real name.
(17:20):
Forty five year old Edward Cocaine was arrested and charged
with two counts of aggravated assault burglary with assault or
battery and battery. Those are two separate things. He was irate,
so he went behind the counter and punched a sandwich
artist before picking up a knife and swung it at them. Thankfully,
(17:41):
the sandwich artists are not hurt, and it's unclear what
exactly happened that caused him to feel like the subway
people had bad attitudes. But he went to and he
and a friend went to a subway restaurant for lunch
on Wednesday, when he got into an argument with an
employee over a bad attitude and decided it's time to
(18:05):
go back and stab them.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
The sheriff's deputy said, mister Cocaine was taken to jail.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
That's mister Cocaine.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
We're right. I guarantee he's not going to like the
service or the attitude of the people who work at
the jail. In the cafeteria. He can, however, get food
in our one star dining facility that is freshly prepared
each day in our kitchen by inmates. Mmm, yummies.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
That sounds good.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
So I thought the Florida part of that was going
to be that he went in the back and like
slapped him with the sandwich.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
No, he uh he, I mean, it's it's pretty Florida.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Also, the knives up subway are like two or three
inches long. Is that a lot?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
No, it's it's enough. Yeah, you don't you don't want
mister coke Edward Cocaine coming out.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Okay, yeah, can I tell you this thing?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
He was there. He was there with his friend Bobby Heroin,
Ranky Feanyl and Edward Cocaine.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
When I do this thing when I meet people, when
I get their last names, and I play this game
where we're America, everybody came over here on the boat right,
same time, the same time, and like at the check
in table in America, they you said, you're like your
real name from your country, right, and the people at
the check and were like, we it's not gonna work here,
(19:27):
we gotta go simpler whatever, and so they named you
based on something like like about you, like if your
last name was Barrett. You walked over and you opened
up your coat and you beared it and they were like, oh,
you're the Barretts.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Okay, right right. So this guy came over and he
was like, you guys want some coke and they're like, yes,
mister Cocaine. And that's how he got his name. I
do this every time I meet somebody, and.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
It's that kind of got kind of humor that gets
you on the nationally syndicated Larry the Cable guys hang
out for one more segment. All right, I got I
got lots of Trump. We might have to do a
Trump date wide World of Whack? Have you ever been
a part of a Trump date wide World a Whack?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Wasn't I around when it was invented?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Uh? Yeah? Oh you know what? You know what song
I have in my head all the time, What I'm
in love with Kim Jong Un. We'll play that too,
coming up after a Fox News update next Scott Voice
News Radio eleven. Right now, we're talking with someone who
started here at the radio station as an account executive
(20:32):
making billions of dollars selling selling air on our radio
station to wonderful sponsors. And then our good friend Chris
Baker said, why don't you come up on and be
on the radio, And then Bird never left.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
You couldn't get rid of me.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
So Bird did reverse trivia, Bird did the wide World
of Whack, and on occasion, when called upon, Bird sang songs.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I'm in love with Kim jong the way he wears
that gray pants suit and the crazy things he do.
I'm in love with his rock is last night he
made things go boom because he's freaking Kim Jong un,
and I wish so he was in my woom. I'm
in love with Kimmi jong Un.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
That is one of my favorite songs of all time.
And I promise you I wait and get a record deal.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
I was.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I was walking around this weekend singing that song to myself.
I couldn't remember. I couldn't remember how the lyrics started there,
I'm in love with this the way he wears that
gray pants suit. But the line I'm in love with
Kim jong un. Last night he made things go boom
because he's freaking Kim jong Un. Oh, how I wish
he was in my womb. I'm in love with Kim
(21:52):
jong un. That's some of the best work we've ever done. Honestly,
I'm honored to have a writing credit on that one.
That was Yeah, Chris, Chris's idea, can you dub that
on a tape? We wrote the song, sang it, and
there you know, we'll put it on a cassette tape,
and so that's good.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
We like, thanks for bringing that back.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
We like stupid music on the show, which is where
the trump date idea came from. We have a lot
of different ideas, a lot of different news stories, and
the only thing that binds them is the fact that
they have to do with the President of the United States.
We put them together and something we call a Trump date.
This is a special wide World of Whack edition of
a Trump date. Trump Up the Jam, trump it Up,
(22:36):
Trump Up the Jam, Trumpet Trumpet Trumpet, trump it trumping.
All right, bird, let's take a look at these stories.
Here have their wide world of Whack type stories having
to do with the bit of the lighter side of
the Trump administration, if indeed you might be able to
find one. Uh So, we'll start here with his Education Secretary,
(22:58):
Linda McMahon, who came from the world of wrestling professional
wrestling and then was named Education Secretary, and her job
essentially seems to be to put herself out of a job.
Be that as it may. She was talking the other
day about artificial intelligence.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Okay, a I my mom calls it A. One has
no idea. It's I for intelligence.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
When I see the A followed by the I without

Education Secretary of Linda McMahon. I heard.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I think it was a letter or report that I
heard this morning.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
I wish I could remember the source, but that there
is a school system that's going to start making sure
that first graders or even pre ks have a one
teaching you know, every year, starting you know that far
down into grades. And that's just a that's a wonderful thing.
It is sponges. Yeah, they just absorb everything. And so
wasn't all that long ago? That is, we're going to
(24:50):
have internet in our schools.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Whoop?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Now, okay, let's do see A one and how and
how can that be helpful? How can it be helpful
in one on one instruction?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
How can it be helpful at lunch?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Honestly, it could be more than that.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Sometimes that sALS very steak because a little dry slap

and just really wasn't thinking.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
About process while she was reading it.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
She was talking off the top of her head and
apparently was thinking that AI is A one or something.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Did you watch the Andre the Giant documentary.

That's how I figured out he was a real person.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yeah, the Rowdy Roddy Piper Ye documentary is amazing.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I mean I love talking to and I've interviewed a
few of these wrestlers from that era. I love talking
to guys like Greg the Hammer, Valentine, He'll Billy Jim
and Jake the Snake Roberts because these guys, these guys
got into the game before hal Cogan got huge. So
they're going around the country and night after night they're
(26:54):
getting hit with two by four's chairs are slammed into them,
they're breaking things, they're taping it back up because they
have to do another performance in Memphis tomorrow night. So
they're just doing this and making nothing and then to
have suddenly action figures and cartoons and cereal boxes and money.
I love talking to those guys about what that transition
(27:16):
was like. They have the best stories of those guys. Yeah,
they got new teeth, all kinds of By the way,
a one Steak Sauce sent Linda McMahon a full case.
You're saying no, thank you so much for recognizing how
important we are to the lives of young people. Super
super good stuff. The Vice President had a sense of
(27:39):
humor about what happened yesterday at the White House. JD.
Vance Ohio guy, welcome the Ohio State Buckeyes along with
President Trump to the White House to celebrate their national
championship and JD. Vance someone should have told him, don't
do it. Don't this doesn't this does not end well.
Do not if you don't have to pick up the trophy,
(28:00):
don't pick up the trophy. Have you ever seen someone
pick up and drop a trophy. I was a little kid,
I watched Boris Becker win Wimbledon and break the Wimbledon trophy.
Don't if you don't need to touch it, don't touch.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
But it's like you want to know how heavy it is,
like an oscar.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
It turns out not only is it heavy, it's in
two pieces. The top of the trophy is only loosely
adhered to the base, which they do. JD. Vince football. Well,
there's kind of a cylinder and then a football on top,
and there's a big, heavy black bass that went south.
(28:37):
The trophy went north. JD. Vance went white as a ghost,
thinking he just broke Ohio State's trophy. They put it
back together. It's fine, And later he said, I just
didn't want anyone after Ohio State to get the trophy,
so I decided to break it. It's about the only
(28:57):
thing you say after that.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Do you think it's unlucky? Like a spirit stick like
you've seen? Bringing On? Based on a real story?
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Okay, Omaha's and Gabriel Union, bringing on that movie Cheerleaders,
Bringing On? No, I didn't watch that.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
What are you doing tonight? Watch it?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Probably not what you let me. Let me pass that
by my wife. I want to watch a story about
teenage cheers.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Love story in there and right Triumph story.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah, until I run out of Liam Neeson and Mark
Wahlberg movies to watch. Okay, bringing On is not going
to rise to the level of what I need to
watch next. I started, what are you watching right now?
Besides cheerleading movies? Kids and kids, kids goes? Are you
watching any series or movies or anything?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
I love the Righteous Gemstones I need That's on my list, dude.
Ten out of ten, I need to watch Bride is
so funny?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Did you watch he spounding down with him?
Speaker 3 (29:54):
All?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Right? So I love I love Kenny Powers, and I'm
anxious to see h.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
What he I think all characters in this series nailed
their character, like, absolutely nailed their characters. I don't think
it's I think after the season it's over too.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yeah. We just finished the first season of Jack Ryan.
The the series with John Krasinski is Jack Ryan, the
CIA analyst who has been played by Harrison Ford or
Alec Baldwin in the movies Patriot Games, Hunt for Red October,
all that stuff, And except my wife and I can't
(30:31):
ever remember the name Jack Ryan. My wife is convinced
it's Jack Reacher. I said, that's that's a whole different thing.
It's different Jacks Tom Cruise, and it's a whole different
so name. We started just calling it like you want
to watch another episode of Jack Klugman tonight, and so
we really like, we really like the series, but we
can't tell anyone to watch you want to watch Jack White,
(30:53):
like we don't. We can't remember which jacket is, you
want to watch Captain Jack Sparrow tonight, whatever, throw whatever.
Just anyone named Jack name is what we watch. So
that's that's why I recommend. Speaking of movies, and this
is let's see, we've got two more Trump date wide
whirl of wax stories here for you. The director Chris
(31:15):
Columbus who did he was a pioneer well and then
someone named their kid Chris Columbus, and he made Harry
Potter movies and a bunch of other stuff. But he
also did Home Alone too. Home Alone two has got
that classic cameo back when people kind of thought Donald
Trump was kind of a fun guy and you could
(31:36):
have some fun with that. I mean, it's not like
he's going to go on to become the most divisive
political figure of American history or anything. So he got
a cameo and Home Alone too telling McCaulay Culkin how
to get around his hotel, and you know it was
kind of funny and well, Chris Columbus now says, look,
Trump was begging us to put him in the movie,
(31:58):
and Trump is like, I didn't bang anyone to put
me in the movie. He says, they wanted to use
the hotel, and I let him use the hotel, and
there were conditions, so I had to be in the movie.
And Columbus was like, we were going to cut the scene,
but the test audience loved seeing Trump in there. They
thought it was hilarious, so we kept it in. He said,
if I have one mistake I made in my life
(32:20):
I go back and fix it would be to cut
that scene from Home Alone to what a charmed life
Chris Columbus has lived so that this is his one regret.
And then finally someone is changing the crosswalk. They have
crosswalks that talk to you in some communities in California.
Someone has hacked them and made it sound like it's
(32:42):
Trump or Elon Musk telling you telling you to cross
this is a great street. You're gonna love the street.
Please have a great time crossing this amazing street. Frankly,
no one crosses the street better than I do. So
it's someone like trum Trump is telling people to cross
the street, and then he tells Elon, come on, Elon,
(33:03):
come back to bed. California officials say, we've disabled the
crosswalk until we can figure out how to do it.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
So some people get across the street.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I know some blind person's gonna get hit by a
car now, all right, and that so get out to
Seaton is a Trump Date. That's our Trump Date wide
World of Whack edition with the Great Bird Bird. You're beloved.
You can come in here anytime you think.
Speaker 2 (33:30):

Yes, it's had a few changes since you. You and
KFAB you win a different direction in your life. It
did and career, and you spend more time on the
radio with Larry the cable guy than you do with
any of us anymore. And now you're on Sirious Exam
with Larry's Larry and Jeff and Larry's Comedy Round Up
(01:38):
Comedy Channel, and you can hear him and you on
there with him from time.
Speaker 2 (01:42):

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah, Well you did the Wide World of Whack on
Chris Baker's show, remember when. Yeah, Yeah, that name rings
a bell. Chris, my friend of thirty years, certainly rings
a bell.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
And so you were a part of that show, which
is really funny because you were working here at the
radio station as a sales associate. Yes, and Chris, which
is one of his best qualities, just like starts pulling
people from around the building to be a part of
his sphere. And you got in on the show and
(02:41):
became a fixture. Yeh, and it reversed trivia wide world
of whack. You did some stuff on kfab's Morning News
with Carrie Sadlemeyer and we just couldn't get enough Bird,
and so it's very cool to have you back here.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
It was fun how it happened, too, because I remember
standing at my desk talking to doctor Alex not a
doctor do yet and yeah, Chris came down and like
I'd been here maybe just a year or so, and
he came down, was like, hey, hey, you're Bird, right, Okay,
come upstairs and read these headlines to me. And I
(03:13):
was like, okay, yeah, cool, all right. So then I did,
and then he's like, okay, so.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
After this, we're going to do it every day from
two to three.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
And I'm like all right, great. And then a couple
of weeks later, we moved it to the five o'clock
period so everybody else could hear me make really good
jokes and you can.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Finish up your workday. So your sales managers didn't say, hey,
do you want to be upstairs or do you want
to be downstairs? Here, I want to be all downstairs
if downstairs pays your salary here. If you want to
go play upstairs for free, you grow it ahead. So
there was an issue, but it all got smooth and
overst fine. Yeah, and now you're working with concrete.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Right, well, yeah, that's hard and fast. Yes, like concrete. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I after I retired from here because I also had
a baby and I just wanted to do something different.
I went and worked for an automotive dealership for a while,
and then I think I just decided I like to
work from my self, not anybody else. So we had
(04:18):
heard of an opportunity with some new ordinances and opportunities
through the city, of a new type of concrete that
can be produced, and so I said, I want to
be the first in Omaha. These things have been around
since the sixties, and I thought, well, if it's new here,
I want to be the name the face of volumetric concrete.
(04:39):
So I bought a concrete truck and now I own
a concrete supply company.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Awesome. If you're going to give yourself a free plug,
then you should probably slow down the name of your business.
Who is this concrete on tap concrete? What volume metric concrete?
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Do you want to have a twenty minute conversation about that,
or do you want to do you want to talk
about ad vans dropping, the Ohio State, the Spirit Stick.
So Concrete on Tap, Yeah, website.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Concrete on tapllc dot com for all of your concrete
needs sort.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Of conveniently located. You know, all the other things that
they put in all these yeah advertisements.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, I'm a delivery service. I'm just a concrete supplier.
So if you need some work done, you can always
call me, because you'll get me on the phone and then.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
We can chit chat about everything that is Bird that's
me here.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
And because you infamously did the Wide World of Whack,
I've compiled a number of stories here, everything from some
things that are rooted in some of the more lighthearted
things happening in Washington, DC here recently. Kay okay, to
a great Florida man story. Oh bring it always, Florida.
(05:52):
You want to do some wide World of whack and
hang out here for a little bit, Yeah, all right,
we will get to that. Next Bird is hanging out
here on eleven ten kab Scotty Magnificent Maleficent Bird is
in the studio here one and both all from part
of our friend, Wingy passes along his regards. He says

that you're the bee's knees, and then, in true Dave
Wingert fashion, several ex'es and o's emojis and smiley faces
and all the rest of it, right back at you,
Wings All right, thank you very much for listening. So
Bird was doing the Wide World a whax segment, which
was a whole bunch of stories that you or producer
(06:38):
Josh would compile and then you come in the show,
come on the show here and go through all these
wacky stories in the news. Yeah, you've prepared none of
that today.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Not a single thing.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Do you want to tell me why exactly you're here?
Because you said you said, I'm going to bring you something.
I said, why don't you come hang out on the
radio and then you can bring me stuff? What have
you got piled up in front of you?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Okay, do you remember, my Jack?
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Yeah? Okay, as soon as I saw the stack, I
knew what this was. Are those all from me?
Speaker 3 (07:06):

Speaker 3 (07:21):
Sebashion and sloan. They're not going to fit in the
Jags back in. So I made the adult.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Decision to sell it on Facebook Marketplace.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah, I know, I had to get rid of my
two seater pickup truck that I loved so I could
get a four seater, you know, Sedan, something more responsible.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Ugh, I know, I know. So I sold it for
six thousand times the price I paid for it. Nice,
not joking, and yeah, and to a very nice gentlemen
into Moines.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
So have fun with that. But when I was on
my one last That's ride this weekend, also, I just
I love that car. I'm gonna miss it so much.
I felt like James Bond in that car.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
I feel like it always helped me when I went
on my sales calls here because I could pull up
in the clients would be like.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Bird yeah what yeah, and as I mean, you're you
owned a Jag. I forget how you said the full
name of the car Jaguar. Okay, so you are a
pretentious jerk, all right, so go on google it. Anyways,
I just called it Jaguar.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It's Jaguar. It isn't I've had one, so you know.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
You're not some sort of weird European. You know, some
some sort of Europeans, like, we don't really know. We
don't really know which European country. Just one of those
over there. It's not one of the big ones. It's
one of the smaller ones.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
You don't know what I've been doing the last Luxembourg
or something.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
No, anyways, we don't know what you were doing when
you were here.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Also true, Yes, anyways, So I sold it, and when
I was on my last cruise, I was like, oh man,
I can't leave these tapes in here because we had
a borrowing system.

an array of cassette tapes that I could play in
the jat and still do. Yeah, So I brought you
back your meat loaf. Oh yes, I gave you you.

Okay, so you lost your eyesight. Your daughter's eighteen, going

Speaker 1 (11:30):
I can't see anything.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
What's happened?
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I told my wife stopped buying me books. It hurts
to read them. She says, you need to get readers.
I said, you need to leave me alone right now.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Oh it's oh, it's our theme song uptied. Everything's all right.
It's the first track on site too. It took it
took me a second to focus, but I can I
can see.
Speaker 3 (12:06):

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Okay, who said that? You want to do?
Speaker 2 (12:10):

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Thanks? Scott?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Just really glad you're here.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah, alrighty, really glad you're here on radio.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
And no, you are a vision as always, and not
just because you brought me back my dubbed copy who
did dubbed Straight out of Compton because my parents were
not gonna let me buy Straight out of Compton.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah, you started writing the song titles yeah on the inside,
and then you scratched.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Them out after about three weeks.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
So yeah, I think we were fine with the first
song that Straight out of Compton. I think then it
goes to gangsta gangst a third track was gonna be
a problem. I believe that's an issue that they had
with the police, and as a as an an adolescent,
I think that probably came out about the time I
was eleven twelve, somewhere in there. I thought that was
(13:01):
the coolest thing I've ever heard, and I still love
the album. But Straight out of Compton by Nwa I
listened to now through an adult lens, and what I
hear now is twelve songs, eleven them. Eleven of the
songs are about selling drugs, murdering people, slapping hose and
(13:26):
really gangbanging all this stuff. And then and then there's
one song where they take exception to the police having
a problem with them doing all of those things. And
I'm like, I don't know that this is an issue
with the police. Perhaps if you don't break the law,
that maybe the police won't harass you as much. But yeah,
(13:49):
like I said, it's more of an adult lens. I
still listen to it though.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I look back on the tunes that I jam to
when I was like eleven, twelve thirteen, I had no
busy biness singing and dancing along to those songs. No,
absolutely not what My children are never leaving my house.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
No, I know well, and today's music it's.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Wheels on the bus. I don't know anything else. What
are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (14:14):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Just have you done silly songs with Larry no Vegie tails?
Do everyone a favor in your family, Silly songs with Larry,
Silly songs with Larry. Larry's a cucumber and he and
his friend Bob the Tomato do silly songs with Larry
by the Veggie Tales. It is the greatest album that's
ever made. Yeah, you'll love it.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I will tell you, because I'm still in my newborn bubble.
But we like Hey Bear.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
It's on YouTube. It's dancing fruit. But like the music
that they dance to, absolute bangers, Like I'm okay with.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
A three hour video on YouTube because the music's good,
like like I like it.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, you've got to find some kids, some shows that
you and kids can enjoy together.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Correct.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
The one show I wouldn't let my kids watch. The
other two shows Dora the Explorer and then her cousin,
Diego the I don't know that he had a title,
but Dora was an explorer and Diego did stuff with
dolphins and stuff, and I wouldn't let my kids watch
it because it was too dumb. Diego would be standing
there on the beach right next to a sea turtle
(15:21):
and he would say, do you see the turtle? Where's
the turtle? Do you see the turtle. I can't see
the turtle. I'm like, it's Scott.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
You literally just talked about how you can't see anymore.
Maybe he also the turtles.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Is not in fine print on the back set deck.
The turtle is right and he's looking in the sky.
Been through what there's no turtle up there? Why are
you looking up there? Look down where the turtle is
is right next to you.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Maybe he's I didn't know he was blind this whole time.
You've seen those videos where babies get glasses. I'm not
Maybe he's just been going through his whole life like
I can't see anything.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I'll tell you what video I've seen is where people
through the newborn into the swimming pool and float. Maybe
you can just float, yeah, teacher, maybe floor. Yeah, let's
just sweak.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Did you watch the video I sent you yesterday?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Did you send me a video yesterday? I think?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Did I send you the movie premiere that I did?
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah, yes, you you said, oh you want me to
be on the radio. Are we going to talk about this?
Clearly we're not going to talk about anything. Uh. And
then you sent me a video of a fake movie
or TV like TV movie that.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Was someone's final project. Yeah, at you and O in
the School of Communication.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
And I had to act in it.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yeah, it was beautiful.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I'm standing on phone books in those scenes.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Hallmark movie worthy.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
It was fantastic.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Let's do one wide whirl of wax story just to
Florida said we would do. Okay, let's do Florida Florida
Man first.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
It feels that was like ninety percent of my material
was Florida Man from the state of Florida.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
All right. An Florida man is a cue of assaulting
employees at a subway restaurant because they had bad attitudes.
Forty five year old forty five year old Edward Cocaine
has been arrested. No, it is spelled like Cocaine, and
the Sheriff's office noted yes, that is his real name.
(17:20):
Forty five year old Edward Cocaine was arrested and charged
with two counts of aggravated assault burglary with assault or
battery and battery. Those are two separate things. He was irate,
so he went behind the counter and punched a sandwich
artist before picking up a knife and swung it at them. Thankfully,
(17:41):
the sandwich artists are not hurt, and it's unclear what
exactly happened that caused him to feel like the subway
people had bad attitudes. But he went to and he
and a friend went to a subway restaurant for lunch
on Wednesday, when he got into an argument with an
employee over a bad attitude and decided it's time to
(18:05):
go back and stab them.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
The sheriff's deputy said, mister Cocaine was taken to jail.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
That's mister Cocaine.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
We're right. I guarantee he's not going to like the
service or the attitude of the people who work at
the jail. In the cafeteria. He can, however, get food
in our one star dining facility that is freshly prepared
each day in our kitchen by inmates. Mmm, yummies.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
That sounds good.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
So I thought the Florida part of that was going
to be that he went in the back and like
slapped him with the sandwich.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
No, he uh he, I mean, it's it's pretty Florida.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Also, the knives up subway are like two or three
inches long. Is that a lot?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
No, it's it's enough. Yeah, you don't you don't want
mister coke Edward Cocaine coming out.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Okay, yeah, can I tell you this thing?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
He was there. He was there with his friend Bobby Heroin,
Ranky Feanyl and Edward Cocaine.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
When I do this thing when I meet people, when
I get their last names, and I play this game
where we're America, everybody came over here on the boat right,
same time, the same time, and like at the check
in table in America, they you said, you're like your
real name from your country, right, and the people at
the check and were like, we it's not gonna work here,
(19:27):
we gotta go simpler whatever, and so they named you
based on something like like about you, like if your
last name was Barrett. You walked over and you opened
up your coat and you beared it and they were like, oh,
you're the Barretts.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Okay, right right. So this guy came over and he
was like, you guys want some coke and they're like, yes,
mister Cocaine. And that's how he got his name. I
do this every time I meet somebody, and.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
It's that kind of got kind of humor that gets
you on the nationally syndicated Larry the Cable guys hang
out for one more segment. All right, I got I
got lots of Trump. We might have to do a
Trump date wide World of Whack? Have you ever been
a part of a Trump date wide World a Whack?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Wasn't I around when it was invented?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Uh? Yeah? Oh you know what? You know what song
I have in my head all the time, What I'm
in love with Kim Jong Un. We'll play that too,
coming up after a Fox News update next Scott Voice
News Radio eleven. Right now, we're talking with someone who
started here at the radio station as an account executive
(20:32):
making billions of dollars selling selling air on our radio
station to wonderful sponsors. And then our good friend Chris
Baker said, why don't you come up on and be
on the radio, And then Bird never left.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
You couldn't get rid of me.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
So Bird did reverse trivia, Bird did the wide World
of Whack, and on occasion, when called upon, Bird sang songs.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I'm in love with Kim jong the way he wears
that gray pants suit and the crazy things he do.
I'm in love with his rock is last night he
made things go boom because he's freaking Kim Jong un,
and I wish so he was in my woom. I'm
in love with Kimmi jong Un.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
That is one of my favorite songs of all time.
And I promise you I wait and get a record deal.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
I was.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I was walking around this weekend singing that song to myself.
I couldn't remember. I couldn't remember how the lyrics started there,
I'm in love with this the way he wears that
gray pants suit. But the line I'm in love with
Kim jong un. Last night he made things go boom
because he's freaking Kim jong Un. Oh, how I wish
he was in my womb. I'm in love with Kim
(21:52):
jong un. That's some of the best work we've ever done. Honestly,
I'm honored to have a writing credit on that one.
That was Yeah, Chris, Chris's idea, can you dub that
on a tape? We wrote the song, sang it, and
there you know, we'll put it on a cassette tape,
and so that's good.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
We like, thanks for bringing that back.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
We like stupid music on the show, which is where
the trump date idea came from. We have a lot
of different ideas, a lot of different news stories, and
the only thing that binds them is the fact that
they have to do with the President of the United States.
We put them together and something we call a Trump date.
This is a special wide World of Whack edition of
a Trump date. Trump Up the Jam, trump it Up,
(22:36):
Trump Up the Jam, Trumpet Trumpet Trumpet, trump it trumping.
All right, bird, let's take a look at these stories.
Here have their wide world of Whack type stories having
to do with the bit of the lighter side of
the Trump administration, if indeed you might be able to
find one. Uh So, we'll start here with his Education Secretary,
(22:58):
Linda McMahon, who came from the world of wrestling professional
wrestling and then was named Education Secretary, and her job
essentially seems to be to put herself out of a job.
Be that as it may. She was talking the other
day about artificial intelligence.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Okay, a I my mom calls it A. One has
no idea. It's I for intelligence.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
When I see the A followed by the I without
the top and bottom, it looks like AL. I think
they're talking about weird Al Yankovic, not Al with the nose,
the character guy, not Al with the nose.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
I don't know Al al Al the old eighties.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
You're talking about Alfred y Newman. He has the ears.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
No, no, no, no, it's like a it's like a caricature.
He's got the nose. Well then alf not Oh sorry,
alf my bad?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
So weird, so weird you reference alf. I don't know
how it came up last night, but I showed my
eighteen year old teenage daughter a couple of scenes from
al that we found on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
We're in sync.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I don't remember how it came up, but I said,
I said, you want to see what we used to
watch your kids, and she is like, I like this guy.
I said, that's Gordon Shumway. He's the alien life form
aka ELF. No, your mom sees AI and thinks that's
a one.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Yeah, says a one.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Yeah, she's not the She's not the only one. Here's
Education Secretary of Linda McMahon. I heard.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I think it was a letter or report that I
heard this morning.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
I wish I could remember the source, but that there
is a school system that's going to start making sure
that first graders or even pre ks have a one
teaching you know, every year, starting you know that far
down into grades. And that's just a that's a wonderful thing.
It is sponges. Yeah, they just absorb everything. And so
wasn't all that long ago? That is, we're going to
(24:50):
have internet in our schools.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Whoop?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Now, okay, let's do see A one and how and
how can that be helpful? How can it be helpful
in one on one instruction?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
How can it be helpful at lunch?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Honestly, it could be more than that.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Sometimes that sALS very steak because a little dry slap
some A one in there. You gotta get the A one.
I mean, you can put that stuff on just about
any It's going to change schools if you want, I'll
dip some vegetables and A one.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
I like it.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
You're the pillar of health.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Yeah, my body's a temple.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Obviously got to take radio, take take.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Good care of it. Okay, So A one and she
wasn't reading off eight. I would when I first heard
about this, I thought she was reading off a teleprompter
and just really wasn't thinking.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
About process while she was reading it.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
She was talking off the top of her head and
apparently was thinking that AI is A one or something.
So your favorite wrestler all time? Yeah, Ricky the Dragon
Steamboat Wow saw him live against Randy Macho Man, Savage
at the Sudatorium, Ringside, sat a little kid, Ricky the Dragon, Steamboat.
(25:57):
But I I love so many of them.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah, I like Triple H.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yeah, that's the next generation of wrestlers that I am anger.
I am unfamiliar with any I mean, you start talking
about Stone Cold, Steve Austin or Triple H or the Undertaker,
I really have no idea. Andre No, yeah, Andre the Giant,
Roddy Roddy Piper, Junkyard Dog, the British Bulldogs. YEA love
(26:21):
those guys.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Did you watch the Andre the Giant documentary.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yes, it's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
That's how I figured out he was a real person.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yeah, the Rowdy Roddy Piper Ye documentary is amazing.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
I mean I love talking to and I've interviewed a
few of these wrestlers from that era. I love talking
to guys like Greg the Hammer, Valentine, He'll Billy Jim
and Jake the Snake Roberts because these guys, these guys
got into the game before hal Cogan got huge. So
they're going around the country and night after night they're
(26:54):
getting hit with two by four's chairs are slammed into them,
they're breaking things, they're taping it back up because they
have to do another performance in Memphis tomorrow night. So
they're just doing this and making nothing and then to
have suddenly action figures and cartoons and cereal boxes and money.
I love talking to those guys about what that transition
(27:16):
was like. They have the best stories of those guys. Yeah,
they got new teeth, all kinds of By the way,
a one Steak Sauce sent Linda McMahon a full case.
You're saying no, thank you so much for recognizing how
important we are to the lives of young people. Super
super good stuff. The Vice President had a sense of
(27:39):
humor about what happened yesterday at the White House. JD.
Vance Ohio guy, welcome the Ohio State Buckeyes along with
President Trump to the White House to celebrate their national
championship and JD. Vance someone should have told him, don't
do it. Don't this doesn't this does not end well.
Do not if you don't have to pick up the trophy,
(28:00):
don't pick up the trophy. Have you ever seen someone
pick up and drop a trophy. I was a little kid,
I watched Boris Becker win Wimbledon and break the Wimbledon trophy.
Don't if you don't need to touch it, don't touch.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
But it's like you want to know how heavy it is,
like an oscar.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
It turns out not only is it heavy, it's in
two pieces. The top of the trophy is only loosely
adhered to the base, which they do. JD. Vince football. Well,
there's kind of a cylinder and then a football on top,
and there's a big, heavy black bass that went south.
(28:37):
The trophy went north. JD. Vance went white as a ghost,
thinking he just broke Ohio State's trophy. They put it
back together. It's fine, And later he said, I just
didn't want anyone after Ohio State to get the trophy,
so I decided to break it. It's about the only
(28:57):
thing you say after that.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Do you think it's unlucky? Like a spirit stick like
you've seen? Bringing On? Based on a real story?
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Okay, Omaha's and Gabriel Union, bringing on that movie Cheerleaders,
Bringing On? No, I didn't watch that.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
What are you doing tonight? Watch it?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Probably not what you let me. Let me pass that
by my wife. I want to watch a story about
teenage cheers.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Love story in there and right Triumph story.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yeah, until I run out of Liam Neeson and Mark
Wahlberg movies to watch. Okay, bringing On is not going
to rise to the level of what I need to
watch next. I started, what are you watching right now?
Besides cheerleading movies? Kids and kids, kids goes? Are you
watching any series or movies or anything?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
I love the Righteous Gemstones I need That's on my list, dude.
Ten out of ten, I need to watch Bride is
so funny?
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Did you watch he spounding down with him?
Speaker 3 (29:54):
All?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Right? So I love I love Kenny Powers, and I'm
anxious to see h.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
What he I think all characters in this series nailed
their character, like, absolutely nailed their characters. I don't think
it's I think after the season it's over too.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yeah. We just finished the first season of Jack Ryan.
The the series with John Krasinski is Jack Ryan, the
CIA analyst who has been played by Harrison Ford or
Alec Baldwin in the movies Patriot Games, Hunt for Red October,
all that stuff, And except my wife and I can't
(30:31):
ever remember the name Jack Ryan. My wife is convinced
it's Jack Reacher. I said, that's that's a whole different thing.
It's different Jacks Tom Cruise, and it's a whole different
so name. We started just calling it like you want
to watch another episode of Jack Klugman tonight, and so
we really like, we really like the series, but we
can't tell anyone to watch you want to watch Jack White,
(30:53):
like we don't. We can't remember which jacket is, you
want to watch Captain Jack Sparrow tonight, whatever, throw whatever.
Just anyone named Jack name is what we watch. So
that's that's why I recommend. Speaking of movies, and this
is let's see, we've got two more Trump date wide
whirl of wax stories here for you. The director Chris
(31:15):
Columbus who did he was a pioneer well and then
someone named their kid Chris Columbus, and he made Harry
Potter movies and a bunch of other stuff. But he
also did Home Alone too. Home Alone two has got
that classic cameo back when people kind of thought Donald
Trump was kind of a fun guy and you could
(31:36):
have some fun with that. I mean, it's not like
he's going to go on to become the most divisive
political figure of American history or anything. So he got
a cameo and Home Alone too telling McCaulay Culkin how
to get around his hotel, and you know it was
kind of funny and well, Chris Columbus now says, look,
Trump was begging us to put him in the movie,
(31:58):
and Trump is like, I didn't bang anyone to put
me in the movie. He says, they wanted to use
the hotel, and I let him use the hotel, and
there were conditions, so I had to be in the movie.
And Columbus was like, we were going to cut the scene,
but the test audience loved seeing Trump in there. They
thought it was hilarious, so we kept it in. He said,
if I have one mistake I made in my life
(32:20):
I go back and fix it would be to cut
that scene from Home Alone to what a charmed life
Chris Columbus has lived so that this is his one regret.
And then finally someone is changing the crosswalk. They have
crosswalks that talk to you in some communities in California.
Someone has hacked them and made it sound like it's
(32:42):
Trump or Elon Musk telling you telling you to cross
this is a great street. You're gonna love the street.
Please have a great time crossing this amazing street. Frankly,
no one crosses the street better than I do. So
it's someone like trum Trump is telling people to cross
the street, and then he tells Elon, come on, Elon,
(33:03):
come back to bed. California officials say, we've disabled the
crosswalk until we can figure out how to do it.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
So some people get across the street.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I know some blind person's gonna get hit by a
car now, all right, and that so get out to
Seaton is a Trump Date. That's our Trump Date wide
World of Whack edition with the Great Bird Bird. You're beloved.
You can come in here anytime you think.
