Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vorhiez in the Sonker's custom was inbox. I got
a press release from the office of US Senator Deb
Fisher of Nebraska. She and a Democrat from Illinois, Senator
Tammy Duckworth, have joined for the She Drives Act. This
is she develops regulations in Vehicle equality and Safety driv
(00:26):
e s. She drives. So what does this mean? The
legislation will modernize vehicle safety tests by requiring the use
of the most advanced testing devices available, including a female
crash test dummy. That's right, How in the world could
we possibly do crash tests unless we have a crash
(00:51):
test dummy with prests.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I got some people I'd like to nominate for that position.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Now, this would be a model, a mannequin of soorts,
not a person. We're not shoving it actually checked shoving females.
So yeah, the female crash test dummy a little bit
like I mean, Vince and Larry were the crash test
dummies with whom I grew up in the eighties, the
(01:17):
series of commercials. Can't remember or I can't believe that
I remember their names, but there it is a female
crash test dummy, kind of like the male crash test dummies.
Maybe a little more slight of build. Has the air
conditioner set to like seventy nine degrees and the seat
warmer on, even though it's ninety three degrees outside. I'm cold.
(01:41):
So she got the heater on, she's got the seat
warmer on. She's turning around and yelling at her kids
in the back seat, and then she gets in a
car accident, probably because she's changing lanes without using turn
signal or looking, and so that's, Hey, this isn't Lucy's
(02:01):
giving me a look. This is I'm pretty sure, is
what they're talking about here in the You're pretty sure,
Senator Fisher. I haven't read the entire press release, but.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Probably i'd say you probably nailed it.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Female crash test dummy, stupid female crash test dummy. And
then there'll be people like, how come there's not a
transgender crash test dummy. Yeah? Yeah, And we're talking about
how in Oklahoma. They're saying, if you're going to want
(02:38):
to teach in Oklahoma and we're going to hire you
from another state, if you come from one of these
states that has progressive educational policies, you've got to pass
this test. Well, I imagine they would, Yeah, make sure
you're not woke.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
If you're coming from a place like that, you're probably
leaving because you want to go someplace better.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
That's a good point. I think that we should probably
have this for a lot of other people, and right,
and including people who live here. I mean, if I
mean the test I would put into effect here in
Omaha is if you see that the Trump administration, Department
(03:21):
of Homeland Security ICE whatever is rooting people out who
are in the country illegally and have criminal records, everything
from being an El Salvadorian terrorist, murdering gang member, to
stolen identity to gain employment and steal someone else's identity
and make their life miserable. And you come out and
(03:43):
say we support immigrants. Immigrants make up this percentage of
jobs in this industry in Nebraska. And if we go
out there and start rooting out immigrant, no, no one's
talking about immigrants. These are criminal, illegal immigrants. I know.
Some of the criminal charges don't rise to the level
(04:05):
that you think that they should. You've never had your
identity stolen apparently, so everything from that to these people
who were marching this past weekend at the Pride Parade
in Omaha and said, you know, we're having to come
out in March because you know, there are so many
(04:25):
laws in Nebraska that are tamping down on trans rights.
There are no laws that are tamping down on trans rights.
There are some new regulations that say boys can't go
into girls' locker rooms and play on girls' sports teams. Also,
we would rather not have you do unnecessary surgery to
(04:46):
your nine year old. If this is tamping down on
trans rights, then I guess I don't understand the issue,
and that could possibly be the case. But I think
that as Oklahoma is doing all of this, maybe we
should just start having these tests for everybody, and if
they fail to test, then I don't know, they can
(05:07):
all go to Chicago or California or something like that
and they'd be very happy there. I'd be very happy there.
I'm not talking about jettisoning them into space. We'll just
send them to San Francisco. I think that's probably where
they want to be. Anyway. Speaking of immigrants, they say
that the new Superman movie is really the story of
(05:27):
an immigrant. Yeah, where are his papers? Anyway, I'm from Kansas.
That's funny. I don't know a lot of people at
Kansas who can fly and shoot red laser beams out
their eyeballs.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
The Wizard of Oz monkeys could couldn't They.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
They're not from Kansas. There was a portal from Kansas
to Oz, but they stayed in Oz. And No, the
Wizard of Oz monkeys. They could fly, but they couldn't
shoot red laser beams out of their eyes.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
They can't. No, are the movies. It scared the little children.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
They can't. Here's what I got from the New Superman movie.
Here's what I like. I like that New Superman is
a good guy who has kind of an awe shuck's
sweet personality to him, like Christopher Reeve who will always
(06:24):
be my Superman. There have been a lot of Superman movies,
Justice League movies and so forth, and some of the
recent Superman movies made him look all dark and broody
and angry and kind of like a jerk or cocky
or whatever. This Superman is very sweet, unassuming and just
(06:44):
looks at everything versus in terms of right and wrong,
and the actor who plays him, I think does a
very good job. The movie, though, is done by James Gunn,
who notably has done some of the Guardians of the
Galaxy movies, so it kind of has that sense to it.
The movie has some sarcasm, some profanity, relatively mild, but
(07:06):
it's still there, which didn't have in the original Superman movie.
And also there's a bit of a political bend to it.
And it's kind of hard for me to walk out
of the theater from this movie. And no spoilers on
this one if you haven't seen it, but I walked
out of there going, you know, the original Superman with
(07:26):
you know, truth justice in the American way that doesn't
not only is not in the movie, but it doesn't
make America look really great. And it was really hard
for me not to look at this movie and say,
this seems like a super anti Israel movie. There is
a plot point about one country wanting to go to
(07:51):
war with another country, and the leader of the country
that wants to go to war, and the people there
in the military uniforms look rather white slash Israeli white,
whatever that classification, and the other side looks rather Arab
(08:11):
Palestinian ish. You know. There's certainly it seems to me
to be a rather anti Israel movie, which stereotypically would
be very interesting coming out of Hollywood. Let's face it,
(08:32):
there are a lot of high profile people who are
Jewish who are in Hollywood, and I can't imagine any
of them are like, yeah, let's put the Superman movie
out and make Israel look bad. But I wonder how
for a lot of these people, even if you're Israeli.
We've seen this from some of these actors, producers, directors,
media types, the leftist base of we have to stand
(08:57):
up for Palestine, even though a lot of these there
is no Palestine. There is Hamas, and Hamas would gladly
kill many of you for being Jewish, for being gay,
for just being I mean, we're talking about Hamas, and
the new progressive ideology is we have to stand up
(09:20):
against Israel here and call them a bunch of genocidal
maniacs who are waging war against these poor people just
won freedom. That would be again the terrorist organization Hamas
who attacked and killed several people in Israel October seventh
of almost two years ago. So we are ignoring their
(09:42):
religious and ethnic base and eschewing that for a more progressive,
pro Palestinian ideology. So we can bring that to college
campuses and in the streets and apparently now in a
Superman movie. At least that's the impression I got. So
last night I looked up online is the new Superman movie?
(10:03):
Anti Israel? I am not the only person who got
that impression. Several people online got the same impression from that. Now,
am I telling you not to go see this movie. No,
if you're a fan of the original Christopher Reeve movies,
especially the first two or three before it got a
(10:26):
little ridiculous, I think that you'll enjoy the movie. And
in case you're like, but it's it's all just the
origin story of Superman, it's not. I mean the very
beginning of the movie is something like thirty years ago
Superman got here, thirty days ago, this happened, this, and
(10:49):
three minutes ago this happened, and then bang, you see
Superman and we're in with the new story. There's no
here's who he got here from Krypton and all, here's
how we got together with this family in Kansas had
done with that. But one last thing on the Superman
movie again no spoiler, but certainly doesn't make Kansas look
(11:11):
real good, because you know, we landed in Smallville, Kansas
and was raised by uh Ma and Pa Kent. In
previous iterations of those characters, these were proud, hard working,
good salted the earth people. There's some element of that
with these people, but they're also fat, dumpy, stupid rubs.
(11:39):
And that's not Kansas. Missouri, yes, but not Kansas. Scott
Goryez News Radio eleven ten kfab Chris emails, Scott, you
better be kidding about that, what you said about Missouri,
because that's where I'm from. You know, I love Missouri,
love you know I love Missouri. But if we're going
(11:59):
to take playful shot at someone, as I did a
moment ago, it can't be Kansas because I was just
standing up for Kansas. Plus, my wife is from Kansas,
and I lived in Kansas for a while. When I
was in Kansas City, and when I was in Kansas,
we made fun of Missouri. Now, being from Nebraska for
most of my life, we make fun of Iowa. But
(12:21):
I can't make fun of Iowa today because I just
had a wonderful weekend in Winterset and Des Moines, which
I talked about on yesterday's show, which brings me to
this email from Rob. We were talking about the Superman
movie and whether it's anti American, whether it's anti Israel,
and whether it's supposed to be a story about immigration.
(12:41):
We need to treat our immigrants better because of Superman.
That yes, because that's what this is all about. Ice
is out there going all right. We've got murderers with terrists,
terror terror. We have murderers with terrorists gang association from
Central America. We got to get them. We've got people
(13:04):
here who, through maybe no fault of their own, but
we still got to get this figured out, have stolen
other people's identities and assume those identities in some cases
social security numbers to get illegal benefits and fraudulent employment,
making someone else's life very very hard. We've got to
get that figured out. And if you're an alien from
(13:25):
a foreign planet and you can come here and fly
and save lives and all the rest of this stuff,
we can't have that either. So we're running you all up.
You got to you got to get these guys, these
these superhero metahumans, and say, look, we appreciate some of
(13:46):
what you do, but you've got to have the right paperwork. Also,
walking around with your underwear on the outside of your
tights like that. There are kids present, and that's those
are really tight tights and it's just a it's just
some under rus there that you're wearing. This isn't appropriate attire.
(14:06):
So yeah, I'm glad that Ice is tracking down murderers
and Superman. That's right. We've got to have a movie
in support of our immigrants because anytime a restaurant has
to close because they're illegal aliens with fraudulent identities working there,
immediately the news media starts quoting someone that says we
(14:29):
have to stand up for our immigrants. It has nothing
to do with immigrants, illegal immigrants who are breaking the law. Yes,
immigrants who are not breaking the law. No, but Blue
in the Face Rob says Superman is not an immigrant.
(14:51):
And here's proof that his father was born in Omaha.
It's a picture of kal El from the original movie,
played by Lucy. You want to take a crack at
this one. Do you remember who played Superman's father from
Krypton in the original nineteen seventy eight Christopher Reeve movie.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Was it Kurt Russell? Oh, that's Guardians of the Galaxy.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah, yes, in nineteen seventy eight it was. It was
a nineteen year old Kurt Russell that played the fun
Burt Reynolds. No Bert was still pretty young at them.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Was it Jeff Bridges, No, it was Lloyd Bridges.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I would have loved to see Lloyd Bridges Bridges. Yes,
Todd Bridges played Superman's father from his home planet and
then went on to play Willis in different strokes. What
you're talking about, kal El, Yes it was Todd Bridges. Oh,
I guess, yes, nice job. Do I get a ding
(15:53):
Todd Bridges. Dang it? I wish I would have had
that reference. The other day, my wife was saying, I
want to go. We were in winter Set, Madison County, Iowa,
home of the covered Bridges's. I want to see the Bridges,
I said, Lloyd Bridges, Bow Bridges, Jeff Bridges. I didn't
have Todd. I was trying to think of another Bridges
when you.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Were telling that story yesterday, I said, Todd, you totally
ignored me.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Dang it. Marlon Brando, by the way, is the correct answer.
Marlon Brando from uh Citizen King? Oh? From what's his hometown?
And that's Orson Wells, by the way, But Marlon Brando hometown.
Take a crack at it? Is he Omah, you see that.
(16:35):
The fact that you don't know is an embarrassment. I
was just in Winterset, Iowa, where the you check into
the hotel there and they've got all like the John
Wayne stand up cardboard things you could take pictures with
you can. They got the movies and magazines and movie posters. Me.
(16:57):
The whole town is just all John Wayne out. They
got John Wayne, this, John Wayne, that, John Wayne, his egans,
go see his childhood home and he only lived there
for two years. And winter Set's like, hey, we got
all John Wayne stuff. If you're a fan of the duke,
you come on down here and there's pictures of President
Reagan who's been there, and you walk out of there feeling,
(17:18):
you know, great about America because John Wayne loved this country,
and and winter Set, Iowa is just all John Wayne out.
Marlon Brando lived here for six years, but that's still
three times longer than John Wayne lived in winter Set,
and you barely even know that Marlon Brando was from here. Now,
(17:40):
Marlon Brando a little different type of actor than John Wayne,
a little different type of character, but still could probably.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Do Oh he's from the Godfather, Yes.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Probably, I mean he's Yes, he's associated with one of
the most popular movies of all time. He probably do something.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
He was absolutely lutely smoking hut when he was young.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Okay, so you're you're thinking on the waterfront, Yeah, Marlon
Brando streetcar named desire, Marlon Brando Stella. You're not not
Godfather Marlon Brando.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Well, that would have to go to al Pacino for.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
About that soft core movie he was in, Last Tango
in Paris. Just a dirty movie, a dirty movie. What
about that one? So yes, great point, Rob proof that
Superman's not an immigrant. His father is from Omaha. Thank
you for that, so Rob new Yeah, Rob, Rob's all
(18:45):
over it.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I know the fondas are here, are from here. I
know that.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
What's his name, fred Astaire, Nick Nolty.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Nick Nolty. I couldn't think of that name. Yeah, Paul Williams.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Paul Williams.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, I know there's a few people from here. Oh,
the guy that was in election or whatever, Yeah, Chris,
yeah something, Chris American pie guy.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah, American Pie. Well, that's that's not him, No, that
is he's from he's from here. I can't think of
his last name.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Jojo Sweena's from here and.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Jojoe c wa there's some people.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Oh the guy that was in Bosom Buddies. Wow, you're
just not Bosom Buddies. You're killing him.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yes, your cousin's probably from here.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
What are you Strangers? Isn't that guy from.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Here who ronson pain Cho? No, the other one, Larry
Appleton guy. I don't remember the actor's name. It's a
character's name. I don't know, but I know that there's
no museum dedicated to his boyhood home. Certainly could be.
(19:55):
Are you Are you okay? Right now? Are you? Let's
let's step away. Let's let Lucy compose herself. Scott, you
get the giggles out. You're high. Did you have those
brownies in there that Craig brought in? Yeah? I wouldn't
have Craig's brownies. He worked with Todd and Tyler. So
(20:16):
let's see here. Let's clean up this last segment. Okay,
No one from the TV show Perfect Strangers is from here.
I'm not sure where that was from. Chris Klein was
the Millard kid that we were thinking of who ended
up getting hired for election. You know I auditioned for
that role. When I say auditioned I, like a lot
(20:37):
of other people, I sent in a resume and a
head shot.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Are you are you audition for the Ted Lasso.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yeah, I'll do it. They were looking for an Omaha
teenager to be in that movie Election, and they wanted
a new face. I'm like, I've got a new face.
I'm from Omaha. I'm a teenager when they were making
that movie in the nineties, and so I sent in
a resume and a head shot. No one called me,
So we're gonna call that an audition.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Put it on your reel.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Then they get this Chris Klein guy, and uh, he
ends up doing well Election, the American Pie Movies, The
Flash TV show saw him in that one. Yeah, he
seems like a good dude. Omaha dude. And then people
are like, don't forget Gerald Ford and Malcolm X. Yeah,
we talked about them yesterday yesterday's news. We uh yeah.
(21:26):
Fred Astaire is another one. We we just don't do
much with our people who were born here to make
it kind of a fun, touristy place, even if they
were not here very long. Our stuff about oh this
person's from here is super boring. Like I'll tell you
what we could do at the home of Warren Buffett.
Make that an historical site. I know he still lives there,
but just go ahead and open it up. Another way
(21:50):
he can make another way, can make some money. I mean, shoot,
you can see him at this burger joint, the steak restaurant,
or getting an ice cream bar over here, going right
to his home. He would love that. I mentioned yesterday
that I spent the weekend in winter Set, Iowa, traveling
around looking at John Wayne's home or as my son thought,
(22:14):
is he the clown that killed people? No, son, that's
John Wayne Gacy. We saw some of the bridges and
my wife got really into the whole thing, like the
whole bridges of Madison County thing. As I mentioned that,
she had an affair while we were there with Clint Eastwood. Now,
(22:36):
one thing I didn't mention is, and I should point
this out, because winter Sets a really nice community, nice people.
There a lot of stuff going on for a small
town in the Des Moines Greater metropolitan area. Clint Eastwood's
there providing those services for lonely Midwestern housewives. He's just there.
(22:56):
When you go see some of the bridges, Clint is
usually in the vicinity and you can have an affair
with Clint Eastwood, so you.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Can get in.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Yeah, he's fine, so you can do that. It's just
part of the experience. My wife was pretty upset that
I told people on the radio yesterday that you had
an affair with Clint Eastwood, and I wanted to come
on and clarify. It's just what you do there. You know,
you get into the movie, you're like, is this the
bridge from the movie poster? It is, Oh, this is great.
(23:31):
This is the same the same one in the cover
of the book. And now that we're here with the
bridges in Madison County, I guess I'll have an affair
with Clint Eastwood and he's there.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
That's the progressive Yeah, right, you pull.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Off the road. There's a little farmhouse there and made
to look like the home from the movie, and you
have an affair with Clint Eastwood.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
And can't you just be friends with them or something,
just say hello, hey, senior movies.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Well, that's not what the story is about.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
So you have to take every movie story all the
way to its absolute end.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yes, if you that's a problem, if you, well know
you Jurassic Park. No, but this is they don't have
that in Iowa. So we didn't go to the Jurassic
Park thing. We went to the place where you go
look at bridges and have an affair with Clint Eastwood.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Have you seen the Buddy Holly story?
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah, that is not a plane ride, like, hey, we're
doing the Buddy Holly experience. Get on the plane twister.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
You've seen that.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
That's in Oklahoma.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Close enough.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Which story do you want first? The women who are
being tracked down with they say facial recognition technology, but
I think it's more breast recognition technology. We've got that story.
We've got the the erotic Roman Mosaic. Even have the
(25:00):
story of a soccer player who did something that they
consider wrong for his eighteenth birthday party. Lucy, which one
would you like first?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I'm quite intrigued by women being tracked down, not because
of what they're tracking Yeah, I would like to hear.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
That police in Richmond Heights, Ohio, which is oh, well
there you go community, No, Ohio. This is a community
just north of Akron on Lake Erie. They're using what
they describe as facial recognition technology, though I think it's
probably cleavage recognition technology to track down women who were
(25:38):
seen tworking on a police car. Not twerking up against
a police car, but one woman with a very low
cut shirt, so much so that it was blurred out
in local news reports. When she got up there and
began getting amorous with the hood of a police car.
(25:59):
She jumps up on the hood of the car. At
this point, I'm guessing the cops aren't around, because no
one is getting these women off the car. As one
woman gets up on the hood of the police car
and causes some damage to the hood, put some dance
in the hood. There was a scratch on there from
whatever shoes or something like that, and these other two
(26:21):
women just think, oh, this is the funniest thing ever.
Let's also get up here and dance on this car.
And so they're tworking on the hood. Multiple women tworking
on a police car in Richmond Heights, Ohio. Police have
used facial recognition technology to identify these women and issue
arrest warrants for them. They search social media accounts and
(26:46):
other databases to confirm identities. I can't you just put
the video out there for the people in the town
and say, anyone who can tell us who these women are.
There's a reward for information that leads to their arrests
for damaging a police car. Is it kind of creepy
that they used facial recognition technology from a social media
(27:10):
account and database search.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Do you remember when this came up about eight ten
years ago when you could tag people by their faces
in pictures on Facebook?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Okay, well that's where it comes from, and it's been
around for a while, and they're using it now this way.
We were warned about this. Do you think that these
women will ever have there will ever be a time
in their lives while they were look back on this
and be embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
No. No, they seem very proud of what they were doing. Yeah,
don't they know.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I think that's the most disturbing part about shirt.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Even if the cops aren't around, there's a dashboard camera
there on the vehicle. Have you not seen all the
videos of from the vanished point of the driver of
the police car looking out over the hood of the vehicle,
what's going on? Yeah? That captured your little dance routine,
and these women were very, very proud of themselves.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Yeah, I've seen those.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
And probably hammered. So they're trying to track these women
down so they can perform at the holiday Christmas party
for the Richmond Heights Police Department. Now the next story
again you get it's lady's choice here the erotic Roman
(28:31):
Era mosaic or the eighteen year old soccer player's birthday party.
What do you want next?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Let's go mosaic.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
A mosaic panel which depicts an erotic theme from the
Roman Era has been returned to the Archaeological Park of
Pompeii this week after being stolen by the Nazi Germans
during World War Two. They went through there and they're like,
all right, we're taking all this lene. We're doing horrible
(29:01):
things to these people, and we got to get the artwork.
And there was a particular a Nazi captain who was
apparently took a shine to this particular mosaic. More on
that in a moment, but the story goes on to
talk about how there's so much artwork that was either
(29:23):
destroyed during the Nazi German siege, predating and including World
War Two. It's something not all of it has been
destroyed or lost forever. They're finding new stuff all the time,
and they're trying to figure out who the rightful owners are,
and they said, this is a very important mosaic, you know,
(29:44):
and we've got to return this to the people of Pompey.
I'm like, there aren't any people of Pompeii. They were
all destroyed by that volcano. I was there. I saw it.
They're all covered in centuries old volcanic lava. But apparently
there are people well yeah, that's that's the guy's name.
And there are people who live.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
There now and not in the same places.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
No, probably not, and they awkward, which is super weird. Right.
Could you ever imagine like if there was.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Living with people made with stone stone?
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Right?
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Been there done that?
Speaker 1 (30:23):
The volcano in Ashland irrupts and just destroys the people
of that community. In centuries from now, there are people going, hey, look,
there's a kid on his cell phone taking a selfie
with the volcano blowing up behind him. And he got
buried in lava and hardened into a weird little statue form.
(30:45):
You can still see his phone out there. Wait, I
hear it ringing. It still works. It's amazing. That's what
happened in Pompeii, and we go see it.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
There would be people today if that happened in this
modern world. I'm not saying here in oma. But there
are people in this world that will take would take
some of those people that were turned to stone basically
and use them. They'd put them around their house and
make fountains out of them and put them around the
(31:15):
yard in their garden.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
They are probably some weirdos who do that now anyway. Yeah,
So regarding the actual piece of art, is this artwork.
This is a man laying on his side. He is
happy to see the woman who is kind of placed
(31:39):
over him. She's unclothed and her hand is on a
sensitive part of his exposure, and they're having just a
fine old time apparently. And someone thought, I'm gonna make
this that this is. This is like old Roman mosaic smut.
(32:03):
That's what this is. And this is funny that oh,
because it's old and it is part of the cultural
heritage of the time. This is an important piece of artwork,
which again goes to centuries from now the aforementioned volcano
of Ashland blows up destroys the people. But before that,
(32:25):
around that same time, there were foreign invaders from I
don't know Crete that came in there and ransacked Ashland
and stole all their important works. And centuries from now,
someone's like I found it. I found an original cassette
of two live crews as Nasty as they Want to
be album. This is an important piece of cultural heritage.
(32:47):
And meanwhile the old timers are like, it's smart. It's terrible.
It's like, you know, there are people who are looking
at this going ooh, how culturally important. I'm looking at
it like, yeah, I know what that's It's old, is
what it is. But it shows that we've been dirty.
We were and this was like this was some ditilating stuff.
(33:08):
Back in the day. There were guys that are like,
all right, honey, i'll be home later. I gotta go
to the museum, Like you're gonna go check out that
mosaic again. I love it. I gotta see it. I
can't get enough of it.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Well, how big is it?
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Pete Wee Herman's there looking at it and police are like,
all right, that's enough, pal. You know there this is
this was the How big is it?
Speaker 2 (33:29):
How big is it?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I don't know? Mosaic sized, So this.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Isn't a statue. This is just a mosaic.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
It's like like, yes, yes, it's it's it's a good
picture size. Apparently, well, can I'll tell you what the
size of it that you should be asking about is
this guy because I'm looking at this going oh, come on,
but you know, whatever, did they say.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
That about the about David the statue of David? I
said that, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
We saw the statue of David. He doesn't have any
pants on, and.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
But it's considered incredibly beautiful.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Yes, yeah it is.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
So is it because there are two people in this
mosaic that it's not art?
Speaker 1 (34:22):
I'll say this. I think there are a lot of
women who are attracted to the form of David. He's sinewy,
you know, all that stuff. I think he's pretty pretty
young and based on what based on the anatomic realities
(34:46):
of the painting, no guy is looking at that going well,
I feel threatened. You know, in fact, we feel better
about ourselves. It's not it's not prominent, so it's yeah,
so it's fine, right, it's okay.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Is that this is that the the the statue the
display that you would walk through the museum or the
castle that you were visiting and you look at it
and say, oh, okay, nice, let's keep going.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
No, we spent a lot of time around that naked statue.
But but my wife who's a lover of fine art
and in history, I mean Michaelangelo's David, Michelangelou's David. Just
(35:38):
from a standpoint of how this was created and how
you know, the angles of what they were able to
do with. I mean, it's it's an important piece of
statue artwork. Now at some point after if you can't
help but stare at it for at least a link,
probably too long, and go all right, and then you
(36:00):
get to sensitize to the fact that he doesn't have
any clothes on, and you know, and you move on.
It's a breath taking piece of art. It's culturally amazing,
this mosaic. It looks like porn to me. This was
old Roman smunt.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
So we know where your line is then, good to know.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Yeah, I guess eighteen year old kid in Spain who
plays for the Barcelona soccer team. I apologies if you're
a big football fan, I don't get into it, but
apparently this soccer player, really really good player Lamine Yamal
(36:47):
And the past Saturday he turned eighteen, so that they
had a big old party for him. And now the
police and the taste police and social media justice warriors
want answer about all of this. So, Lucy, what do
you think this eighteen year old professional athlete in Barcelona,
(37:08):
Spain did for his eighteenth birthday party that got people
so upset?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
I am going to say that. Oh boy, I can't
say that. Nope, can't say that.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Yeah, I mean, I know what you're thinking. Yeah, you
know the I remember when some of my friends turned eighteen.
There was one who thought, I have a great idea.
We're going to hire an entertainer to come over here
and hang out in his living room when his parents
were out of town, and we're going to have a
(37:44):
show right there. And I can tell you that when
we did that for Mike's eighteenth birthday party, it was
the most horrible experience. It was more funny than anything else.
Here's here that story. She comes in and starts disrobing,
and immediately some of us were like, ah no, this
(38:07):
is not. First of all, she was like we were
we were we were teenagers, we were seventeen and eighteen
years old, and she was older than us, so she
was probably in her forties. And you know, for a
seventeen year old, eighteen year old guy, you're like, not
in Just like there was there were scars. I mean,
(38:31):
it was it was. It was gross. She was trying
to make it and we paid her because the guy
who was with her made sure of that. And that's
what I ended up doing. Once the performance got under
way and I realized I don't want to see this,
I just ate. I went because the pimp who was
(38:53):
with her now starts kind of wandering around the house,
and I decided to go hang out with him to
make sure he didn't steal anything. So that's what we
did for Mike's eighteenth birthday party. For many of us
here in Omaha, eighteenth birthday party involved going out to
Waverly or Council Bluffs for places you could. You had
(39:15):
to be eighteen, and it was and it was like
every other week. It was like, Hey, Tyler's turning eighteen,
We're going to Waverly. You know. It was so stupid.
That's what we did when we turned eighteen. This is
not this story.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
I know he made everybody stay at his party until
somebody won monopoly.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
That if that happened, that's not in the story. They
hired some entertainers.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Yes, okay, but not those kinds.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
No, they hired a group. What's described here by ESPN
as a group of dwarves. Now, I can think of
a couple of different thing. I mean, what's described here
(40:07):
by the entertainers themselves is they says, we dance, we
distribute drinks, we do magic. No one disrespected us, and
it was you know, we're we're normal people. We do
what we want in a legal way. And so the
entertainers who are of dwarf status are saying, look, yes,
(40:27):
they wanted some dwarves in there. They thought it'd be
kind of fun to have some little people in there working.
It doesn't And I don't know when it says we dance,
were the were these women who were removing their little
anty bitty clothes or we were we engaging in midget tossing?
(40:48):
I don't know what they did. We're talking about a
bunch of eighteen year old some professional athletes. I imagine it
was something that was incredibly demeaning. But the adults who
are the entertainment and are of fund sized status said, yeah,
(41:09):
we signed up for it, We're good with it. But
in Spain, it is against the law under Spanish law
entertainment acts that mock or demean individuals with disabilities. Are prohibited.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
I have a problem with that.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
I know I do.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
Tell you're saying is that you are a grown adults
person that wants to do this and be paid for it. Yes,
and it isn't illegal. I mean as far as right,
it's not prostitution or something like that.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
Well think about this. It's Spain. It's legal to run
down a narrow road with bulls trying to kill you.
But if you're of a diminutive stature, you're not allowed
to serve drinks and maybe get thrown around by a
kid for his eighteenth birthday party.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
So could you run with the bulls if you were
part of this entertainment group.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
I wouldn't recommend it.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Scott Voies, Mornings nine to eleven, Our News Radio eleven
ten KFAB
Scott Vorhiez in the Sonker's custom was inbox. I got
a press release from the office of US Senator Deb
Fisher of Nebraska. She and a Democrat from Illinois, Senator
Tammy Duckworth, have joined for the She Drives Act. This
is she develops regulations in Vehicle equality and Safety driv
(00:26):
e s. She drives. So what does this mean? The
legislation will modernize vehicle safety tests by requiring the use
of the most advanced testing devices available, including a female
crash test dummy. That's right, How in the world could
we possibly do crash tests unless we have a crash
(00:51):
test dummy with prests.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I got some people I'd like to nominate for that position.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Now, this would be a model, a mannequin of soorts,
not a person. We're not shoving it actually checked shoving females.
So yeah, the female crash test dummy a little bit
like I mean, Vince and Larry were the crash test
dummies with whom I grew up in the eighties, the
(01:17):
series of commercials. Can't remember or I can't believe that
I remember their names, but there it is a female
crash test dummy, kind of like the male crash test dummies.
Maybe a little more slight of build. Has the air
conditioner set to like seventy nine degrees and the seat
warmer on, even though it's ninety three degrees outside. I'm cold.
(01:41):
So she got the heater on, she's got the seat
warmer on. She's turning around and yelling at her kids
in the back seat, and then she gets in a
car accident, probably because she's changing lanes without using turn
signal or looking, and so that's, Hey, this isn't Lucy's
(02:01):
giving me a look. This is I'm pretty sure, is
what they're talking about here in the You're pretty sure,
Senator Fisher. I haven't read the entire press release, but.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Probably i'd say you probably nailed it.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Female crash test dummy, stupid female crash test dummy. And
then there'll be people like, how come there's not a
transgender crash test dummy. Yeah? Yeah, And we're talking about
how in Oklahoma. They're saying, if you're going to want
(02:38):
to teach in Oklahoma and we're going to hire you
from another state, if you come from one of these
states that has progressive educational policies, you've got to pass
this test. Well, I imagine they would, Yeah, make sure
you're not woke.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
If you're coming from a place like that, you're probably
leaving because you want to go someplace better.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
That's a good point. I think that we should probably
have this for a lot of other people, and right,
and including people who live here. I mean, if I
mean the test I would put into effect here in
Omaha is if you see that the Trump administration, Department
(03:21):
of Homeland Security ICE whatever is rooting people out who
are in the country illegally and have criminal records, everything
from being an El Salvadorian terrorist, murdering gang member, to
stolen identity to gain employment and steal someone else's identity
and make their life miserable. And you come out and
(03:43):
say we support immigrants. Immigrants make up this percentage of
jobs in this industry in Nebraska. And if we go
out there and start rooting out immigrant, no, no one's
talking about immigrants. These are criminal, illegal immigrants. I know.
Some of the criminal charges don't rise to the level
(04:05):
that you think that they should. You've never had your
identity stolen apparently, so everything from that to these people
who were marching this past weekend at the Pride Parade
in Omaha and said, you know, we're having to come
out in March because you know, there are so many
(04:25):
laws in Nebraska that are tamping down on trans rights.
There are no laws that are tamping down on trans rights.
There are some new regulations that say boys can't go
into girls' locker rooms and play on girls' sports teams. Also,
we would rather not have you do unnecessary surgery to
(04:46):
your nine year old. If this is tamping down on
trans rights, then I guess I don't understand the issue,
and that could possibly be the case. But I think
that as Oklahoma is doing all of this, maybe we
should just start having these tests for everybody, and if
they fail to test, then I don't know, they can
(05:07):
all go to Chicago or California or something like that
and they'd be very happy there. I'd be very happy there.
I'm not talking about jettisoning them into space. We'll just
send them to San Francisco. I think that's probably where
they want to be. Anyway. Speaking of immigrants, they say
that the new Superman movie is really the story of
(05:27):
an immigrant. Yeah, where are his papers? Anyway, I'm from Kansas.
That's funny. I don't know a lot of people at
Kansas who can fly and shoot red laser beams out
their eyeballs.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
The Wizard of Oz monkeys could couldn't They.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
They're not from Kansas. There was a portal from Kansas
to Oz, but they stayed in Oz. And No, the
Wizard of Oz monkeys. They could fly, but they couldn't
shoot red laser beams out of their eyes.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
They can't. No, are the movies. It scared the little children.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
They can't. Here's what I got from the New Superman movie.
Here's what I like. I like that New Superman is
a good guy who has kind of an awe shuck's
sweet personality to him, like Christopher Reeve who will always
(06:24):
be my Superman. There have been a lot of Superman movies,
Justice League movies and so forth, and some of the
recent Superman movies made him look all dark and broody
and angry and kind of like a jerk or cocky
or whatever. This Superman is very sweet, unassuming and just
(06:44):
looks at everything versus in terms of right and wrong,
and the actor who plays him, I think does a
very good job. The movie, though, is done by James Gunn,
who notably has done some of the Guardians of the
Galaxy movies, so it kind of has that sense to it.
The movie has some sarcasm, some profanity, relatively mild, but
(07:06):
it's still there, which didn't have in the original Superman movie.
And also there's a bit of a political bend to it.
And it's kind of hard for me to walk out
of the theater from this movie. And no spoilers on
this one if you haven't seen it, but I walked
out of there going, you know, the original Superman with
(07:26):
you know, truth justice in the American way that doesn't
not only is not in the movie, but it doesn't
make America look really great. And it was really hard
for me not to look at this movie and say,
this seems like a super anti Israel movie. There is
a plot point about one country wanting to go to
(07:51):
war with another country, and the leader of the country
that wants to go to war, and the people there
in the military uniforms look rather white slash Israeli white,
whatever that classification, and the other side looks rather Arab
(08:11):
Palestinian ish. You know. There's certainly it seems to me
to be a rather anti Israel movie, which stereotypically would
be very interesting coming out of Hollywood. Let's face it,
(08:32):
there are a lot of high profile people who are
Jewish who are in Hollywood, and I can't imagine any
of them are like, yeah, let's put the Superman movie
out and make Israel look bad. But I wonder how
for a lot of these people, even if you're Israeli.
We've seen this from some of these actors, producers, directors,
media types, the leftist base of we have to stand
(08:57):
up for Palestine, even though a lot of these there
is no Palestine. There is Hamas, and Hamas would gladly
kill many of you for being Jewish, for being gay,
for just being I mean, we're talking about Hamas, and
the new progressive ideology is we have to stand up
(09:20):
against Israel here and call them a bunch of genocidal
maniacs who are waging war against these poor people just
won freedom. That would be again the terrorist organization Hamas
who attacked and killed several people in Israel October seventh
of almost two years ago. So we are ignoring their
(09:42):
religious and ethnic base and eschewing that for a more progressive,
pro Palestinian ideology. So we can bring that to college
campuses and in the streets and apparently now in a
Superman movie. At least that's the impression I got. So
last night I looked up online is the new Superman movie?
(10:03):
Anti Israel? I am not the only person who got
that impression. Several people online got the same impression from that. Now,
am I telling you not to go see this movie. No,
if you're a fan of the original Christopher Reeve movies,
especially the first two or three before it got a
(10:26):
little ridiculous, I think that you'll enjoy the movie. And
in case you're like, but it's it's all just the
origin story of Superman, it's not. I mean the very
beginning of the movie is something like thirty years ago
Superman got here, thirty days ago, this happened, this, and
(10:49):
three minutes ago this happened, and then bang, you see
Superman and we're in with the new story. There's no
here's who he got here from Krypton and all, here's
how we got together with this family in Kansas had
done with that. But one last thing on the Superman
movie again no spoiler, but certainly doesn't make Kansas look
(11:11):
real good, because you know, we landed in Smallville, Kansas
and was raised by uh Ma and Pa Kent. In
previous iterations of those characters, these were proud, hard working,
good salted the earth people. There's some element of that
with these people, but they're also fat, dumpy, stupid rubs.
(11:39):
And that's not Kansas. Missouri, yes, but not Kansas. Scott
Goryez News Radio eleven ten kfab Chris emails, Scott, you
better be kidding about that, what you said about Missouri,
because that's where I'm from. You know, I love Missouri,
love you know I love Missouri. But if we're going
(11:59):
to take playful shot at someone, as I did a
moment ago, it can't be Kansas because I was just
standing up for Kansas. Plus, my wife is from Kansas,
and I lived in Kansas for a while. When I
was in Kansas City, and when I was in Kansas,
we made fun of Missouri. Now, being from Nebraska for
most of my life, we make fun of Iowa. But
(12:21):
I can't make fun of Iowa today because I just
had a wonderful weekend in Winterset and Des Moines, which
I talked about on yesterday's show, which brings me to
this email from Rob. We were talking about the Superman
movie and whether it's anti American, whether it's anti Israel,
and whether it's supposed to be a story about immigration.
(12:41):
We need to treat our immigrants better because of Superman.
That yes, because that's what this is all about. Ice
is out there going all right. We've got murderers with terrists,
terror terror. We have murderers with terrorists gang association from
Central America. We got to get them. We've got people
(13:04):
here who, through maybe no fault of their own, but
we still got to get this figured out, have stolen
other people's identities and assume those identities in some cases
social security numbers to get illegal benefits and fraudulent employment,
making someone else's life very very hard. We've got to
get that figured out. And if you're an alien from
(13:25):
a foreign planet and you can come here and fly
and save lives and all the rest of this stuff,
we can't have that either. So we're running you all up.
You got to you got to get these guys, these
these superhero metahumans, and say, look, we appreciate some of
(13:46):
what you do, but you've got to have the right paperwork. Also,
walking around with your underwear on the outside of your
tights like that. There are kids present, and that's those
are really tight tights and it's just a it's just
some under rus there that you're wearing. This isn't appropriate attire.
(14:06):
So yeah, I'm glad that Ice is tracking down murderers
and Superman. That's right. We've got to have a movie
in support of our immigrants because anytime a restaurant has
to close because they're illegal aliens with fraudulent identities working there,
immediately the news media starts quoting someone that says we
(14:29):
have to stand up for our immigrants. It has nothing
to do with immigrants, illegal immigrants who are breaking the law. Yes,
immigrants who are not breaking the law. No, but Blue
in the Face Rob says Superman is not an immigrant.
(14:51):
And here's proof that his father was born in Omaha.
It's a picture of kal El from the original movie,
played by Lucy. You want to take a crack at
this one. Do you remember who played Superman's father from
Krypton in the original nineteen seventy eight Christopher Reeve movie.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Was it Kurt Russell? Oh, that's Guardians of the Galaxy.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah, yes, in nineteen seventy eight it was. It was
a nineteen year old Kurt Russell that played the fun
Burt Reynolds. No Bert was still pretty young at them.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Was it Jeff Bridges, No, it was Lloyd Bridges.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I would have loved to see Lloyd Bridges Bridges. Yes,
Todd Bridges played Superman's father from his home planet and
then went on to play Willis in different strokes. What
you're talking about, kal El, Yes it was Todd Bridges. Oh,
I guess, yes, nice job. Do I get a ding
(15:53):
Todd Bridges. Dang it? I wish I would have had
that reference. The other day, my wife was saying, I
want to go. We were in winter Set, Madison County, Iowa,
home of the covered Bridges's. I want to see the Bridges,
I said, Lloyd Bridges, Bow Bridges, Jeff Bridges. I didn't
have Todd. I was trying to think of another Bridges
when you.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Were telling that story yesterday, I said, Todd, you totally
ignored me.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Dang it. Marlon Brando, by the way, is the correct answer.
Marlon Brando from uh Citizen King? Oh? From what's his hometown?
And that's Orson Wells, by the way, But Marlon Brando hometown.
Take a crack at it? Is he Omah, you see that.
(16:35):
The fact that you don't know is an embarrassment. I
was just in Winterset, Iowa, where the you check into
the hotel there and they've got all like the John
Wayne stand up cardboard things you could take pictures with
you can. They got the movies and magazines and movie posters. Me.
(16:57):
The whole town is just all John Wayne out. They
got John Wayne, this, John Wayne, that, John Wayne, his egans,
go see his childhood home and he only lived there
for two years. And winter Set's like, hey, we got
all John Wayne stuff. If you're a fan of the duke,
you come on down here and there's pictures of President
Reagan who's been there, and you walk out of there feeling,
(17:18):
you know, great about America because John Wayne loved this country,
and and winter Set, Iowa is just all John Wayne out.
Marlon Brando lived here for six years, but that's still
three times longer than John Wayne lived in winter Set,
and you barely even know that Marlon Brando was from here. Now,
(17:40):
Marlon Brando a little different type of actor than John Wayne,
a little different type of character, but still could probably.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Do Oh he's from the Godfather, Yes.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Probably, I mean he's Yes, he's associated with one of
the most popular movies of all time. He probably do something.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
He was absolutely lutely smoking hut when he was young.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Okay, so you're you're thinking on the waterfront, Yeah, Marlon
Brando streetcar named desire, Marlon Brando Stella. You're not not
Godfather Marlon Brando.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Well, that would have to go to al Pacino for.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
About that soft core movie he was in, Last Tango
in Paris. Just a dirty movie, a dirty movie. What
about that one? So yes, great point, Rob proof that
Superman's not an immigrant. His father is from Omaha. Thank
you for that, so Rob new Yeah, Rob, Rob's all
(18:45):
over it.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I know the fondas are here, are from here. I
know that.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
What's his name, fred Astaire, Nick Nolty.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Nick Nolty. I couldn't think of that name. Yeah, Paul Williams.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Paul Williams.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, I know there's a few people from here. Oh,
the guy that was in election or whatever, Yeah, Chris,
yeah something, Chris American pie guy.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah, American Pie. Well, that's that's not him, No, that
is he's from he's from here. I can't think of
his last name.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Jojo Sweena's from here and.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Jojoe c wa there's some people.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Oh the guy that was in Bosom Buddies. Wow, you're
just not Bosom Buddies. You're killing him.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yes, your cousin's probably from here.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
What are you Strangers? Isn't that guy from.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Here who ronson pain Cho? No, the other one, Larry
Appleton guy. I don't remember the actor's name. It's a
character's name. I don't know, but I know that there's
no museum dedicated to his boyhood home. Certainly could be.
(19:55):
Are you Are you okay? Right now? Are you? Let's
let's step away. Let's let Lucy compose herself. Scott, you
get the giggles out. You're high. Did you have those
brownies in there that Craig brought in? Yeah? I wouldn't
have Craig's brownies. He worked with Todd and Tyler. So
(20:16):
let's see here. Let's clean up this last segment. Okay,
No one from the TV show Perfect Strangers is from here.
I'm not sure where that was from. Chris Klein was
the Millard kid that we were thinking of who ended
up getting hired for election. You know I auditioned for
that role. When I say auditioned I, like a lot
(20:37):
of other people, I sent in a resume and a
head shot.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Are you are you audition for the Ted Lasso.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yeah, I'll do it. They were looking for an Omaha
teenager to be in that movie Election, and they wanted
a new face. I'm like, I've got a new face.
I'm from Omaha. I'm a teenager when they were making
that movie in the nineties, and so I sent in
a resume and a head shot. No one called me,
So we're gonna call that an audition.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Put it on your reel.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Then they get this Chris Klein guy, and uh, he
ends up doing well Election, the American Pie Movies, The
Flash TV show saw him in that one. Yeah, he
seems like a good dude. Omaha dude. And then people
are like, don't forget Gerald Ford and Malcolm X. Yeah,
we talked about them yesterday yesterday's news. We uh yeah.
(21:26):
Fred Astaire is another one. We we just don't do
much with our people who were born here to make
it kind of a fun, touristy place, even if they
were not here very long. Our stuff about oh this
person's from here is super boring. Like I'll tell you
what we could do at the home of Warren Buffett.
Make that an historical site. I know he still lives there,
but just go ahead and open it up. Another way
(21:50):
he can make another way, can make some money. I mean, shoot,
you can see him at this burger joint, the steak restaurant,
or getting an ice cream bar over here, going right
to his home. He would love that. I mentioned yesterday
that I spent the weekend in winter Set, Iowa, traveling
around looking at John Wayne's home or as my son thought,
(22:14):
is he the clown that killed people? No, son, that's
John Wayne Gacy. We saw some of the bridges and
my wife got really into the whole thing, like the
whole bridges of Madison County thing. As I mentioned that,
she had an affair while we were there with Clint Eastwood. Now,
(22:36):
one thing I didn't mention is, and I should point
this out, because winter Sets a really nice community, nice people.
There a lot of stuff going on for a small
town in the Des Moines Greater metropolitan area. Clint Eastwood's
there providing those services for lonely Midwestern housewives. He's just there.
(22:56):
When you go see some of the bridges, Clint is
usually in the vicinity and you can have an affair
with Clint Eastwood, so you.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Can get in.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Yeah, he's fine, so you can do that. It's just
part of the experience. My wife was pretty upset that
I told people on the radio yesterday that you had
an affair with Clint Eastwood, and I wanted to come
on and clarify. It's just what you do there. You know,
you get into the movie, you're like, is this the
bridge from the movie poster? It is, Oh, this is great.
(23:31):
This is the same the same one in the cover
of the book. And now that we're here with the
bridges in Madison County, I guess I'll have an affair
with Clint Eastwood and he's there.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
That's the progressive Yeah, right, you pull.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Off the road. There's a little farmhouse there and made
to look like the home from the movie, and you
have an affair with Clint Eastwood.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
And can't you just be friends with them or something,
just say hello, hey, senior movies.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Well, that's not what the story is about.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
So you have to take every movie story all the
way to its absolute end.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yes, if you that's a problem, if you, well know
you Jurassic Park. No, but this is they don't have
that in Iowa. So we didn't go to the Jurassic
Park thing. We went to the place where you go
look at bridges and have an affair with Clint Eastwood.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Have you seen the Buddy Holly story?
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah, that is not a plane ride, like, hey, we're
doing the Buddy Holly experience. Get on the plane twister.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
You've seen that.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
That's in Oklahoma.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Close enough.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Which story do you want first? The women who are
being tracked down with they say facial recognition technology, but
I think it's more breast recognition technology. We've got that story.
We've got the the erotic Roman Mosaic. Even have the
(25:00):
story of a soccer player who did something that they
consider wrong for his eighteenth birthday party. Lucy, which one
would you like first?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I'm quite intrigued by women being tracked down, not because
of what they're tracking Yeah, I would like to hear.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
That police in Richmond Heights, Ohio, which is oh, well
there you go community, No, Ohio. This is a community
just north of Akron on Lake Erie. They're using what
they describe as facial recognition technology, though I think it's
probably cleavage recognition technology to track down women who were
(25:38):
seen tworking on a police car. Not twerking up against
a police car, but one woman with a very low
cut shirt, so much so that it was blurred out
in local news reports. When she got up there and
began getting amorous with the hood of a police car.
(25:59):
She jumps up on the hood of the car. At
this point, I'm guessing the cops aren't around, because no
one is getting these women off the car. As one
woman gets up on the hood of the police car
and causes some damage to the hood, put some dance
in the hood. There was a scratch on there from
whatever shoes or something like that, and these other two
(26:21):
women just think, oh, this is the funniest thing ever.
Let's also get up here and dance on this car.
And so they're tworking on the hood. Multiple women tworking
on a police car in Richmond Heights, Ohio. Police have
used facial recognition technology to identify these women and issue
arrest warrants for them. They search social media accounts and
(26:46):
other databases to confirm identities. I can't you just put
the video out there for the people in the town
and say, anyone who can tell us who these women are.
There's a reward for information that leads to their arrests
for damaging a police car. Is it kind of creepy
that they used facial recognition technology from a social media
(27:10):
account and database search.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Do you remember when this came up about eight ten
years ago when you could tag people by their faces
in pictures on Facebook?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Okay, well that's where it comes from, and it's been
around for a while, and they're using it now this way.
We were warned about this. Do you think that these
women will ever have there will ever be a time
in their lives while they were look back on this
and be embarrassed.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
No. No, they seem very proud of what they were doing. Yeah,
don't they know.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I think that's the most disturbing part about shirt.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Even if the cops aren't around, there's a dashboard camera
there on the vehicle. Have you not seen all the
videos of from the vanished point of the driver of
the police car looking out over the hood of the vehicle,
what's going on? Yeah? That captured your little dance routine,
and these women were very, very proud of themselves.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Yeah, I've seen those.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
And probably hammered. So they're trying to track these women
down so they can perform at the holiday Christmas party
for the Richmond Heights Police Department. Now the next story
again you get it's lady's choice here the erotic Roman
(28:31):
Era mosaic or the eighteen year old soccer player's birthday party.
What do you want next?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Let's go mosaic.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
A mosaic panel which depicts an erotic theme from the
Roman Era has been returned to the Archaeological Park of
Pompeii this week after being stolen by the Nazi Germans
during World War Two. They went through there and they're like,
all right, we're taking all this lene. We're doing horrible
(29:01):
things to these people, and we got to get the artwork.
And there was a particular a Nazi captain who was
apparently took a shine to this particular mosaic. More on
that in a moment, but the story goes on to
talk about how there's so much artwork that was either
(29:23):
destroyed during the Nazi German siege, predating and including World
War Two. It's something not all of it has been
destroyed or lost forever. They're finding new stuff all the time,
and they're trying to figure out who the rightful owners are,
and they said, this is a very important mosaic, you know,
(29:44):
and we've got to return this to the people of Pompey.
I'm like, there aren't any people of Pompeii. They were
all destroyed by that volcano. I was there. I saw it.
They're all covered in centuries old volcanic lava. But apparently
there are people well yeah, that's that's the guy's name.
And there are people who live.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
There now and not in the same places.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
No, probably not, and they awkward, which is super weird. Right.
Could you ever imagine like if there was.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Living with people made with stone stone?
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Right?
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Been there done that?
Speaker 1 (30:23):
The volcano in Ashland irrupts and just destroys the people
of that community. In centuries from now, there are people going, hey, look,
there's a kid on his cell phone taking a selfie
with the volcano blowing up behind him. And he got
buried in lava and hardened into a weird little statue form.
(30:45):
You can still see his phone out there. Wait, I
hear it ringing. It still works. It's amazing. That's what
happened in Pompeii, and we go see it.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
There would be people today if that happened in this
modern world. I'm not saying here in oma. But there
are people in this world that will take would take
some of those people that were turned to stone basically
and use them. They'd put them around their house and
make fountains out of them and put them around the
(31:15):
yard in their garden.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
They are probably some weirdos who do that now anyway. Yeah,
So regarding the actual piece of art, is this artwork.
This is a man laying on his side. He is
happy to see the woman who is kind of placed
(31:39):
over him. She's unclothed and her hand is on a
sensitive part of his exposure, and they're having just a
fine old time apparently. And someone thought, I'm gonna make
this that this is. This is like old Roman mosaic smut.
(32:03):
That's what this is. And this is funny that oh,
because it's old and it is part of the cultural
heritage of the time. This is an important piece of artwork,
which again goes to centuries from now the aforementioned volcano
of Ashland blows up destroys the people. But before that,
(32:25):
around that same time, there were foreign invaders from I
don't know Crete that came in there and ransacked Ashland
and stole all their important works. And centuries from now,
someone's like I found it. I found an original cassette
of two live crews as Nasty as they Want to
be album. This is an important piece of cultural heritage.
(32:47):
And meanwhile the old timers are like, it's smart. It's terrible.
It's like, you know, there are people who are looking
at this going ooh, how culturally important. I'm looking at
it like, yeah, I know what that's It's old, is
what it is. But it shows that we've been dirty.
We were and this was like this was some ditilating stuff.
(33:08):
Back in the day. There were guys that are like,
all right, honey, i'll be home later. I gotta go
to the museum, Like you're gonna go check out that
mosaic again. I love it. I gotta see it. I
can't get enough of it.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Well, how big is it?
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Pete Wee Herman's there looking at it and police are like,
all right, that's enough, pal. You know there this is
this was the How big is it?
Speaker 2 (33:29):
How big is it?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I don't know? Mosaic sized, So this.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Isn't a statue. This is just a mosaic.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
It's like like, yes, yes, it's it's it's a good
picture size. Apparently, well, can I'll tell you what the
size of it that you should be asking about is
this guy because I'm looking at this going oh, come on,
but you know, whatever, did they say.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
That about the about David the statue of David? I
said that, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
We saw the statue of David. He doesn't have any
pants on, and.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
But it's considered incredibly beautiful.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Yes, yeah it is.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
So is it because there are two people in this
mosaic that it's not art?
Speaker 1 (34:22):
I'll say this. I think there are a lot of
women who are attracted to the form of David. He's sinewy,
you know, all that stuff. I think he's pretty pretty
young and based on what based on the anatomic realities
(34:46):
of the painting, no guy is looking at that going well,
I feel threatened. You know, in fact, we feel better
about ourselves. It's not it's not prominent, so it's yeah,
so it's fine, right, it's okay.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Is that this is that the the the statue the
display that you would walk through the museum or the
castle that you were visiting and you look at it
and say, oh, okay, nice, let's keep going.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
No, we spent a lot of time around that naked statue.
But but my wife who's a lover of fine art
and in history, I mean Michaelangelo's David, Michelangelou's David. Just
(35:38):
from a standpoint of how this was created and how
you know, the angles of what they were able to
do with. I mean, it's it's an important piece of
statue artwork. Now at some point after if you can't
help but stare at it for at least a link,
probably too long, and go all right, and then you
(36:00):
get to sensitize to the fact that he doesn't have
any clothes on, and you know, and you move on.
It's a breath taking piece of art. It's culturally amazing,
this mosaic. It looks like porn to me. This was
old Roman smunt.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
So we know where your line is then, good to know.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Yeah, I guess eighteen year old kid in Spain who
plays for the Barcelona soccer team. I apologies if you're
a big football fan, I don't get into it, but
apparently this soccer player, really really good player Lamine Yamal
(36:47):
And the past Saturday he turned eighteen, so that they
had a big old party for him. And now the
police and the taste police and social media justice warriors
want answer about all of this. So, Lucy, what do
you think this eighteen year old professional athlete in Barcelona,
(37:08):
Spain did for his eighteenth birthday party that got people
so upset?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
I am going to say that. Oh boy, I can't
say that. Nope, can't say that.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Yeah, I mean, I know what you're thinking. Yeah, you
know the I remember when some of my friends turned eighteen.
There was one who thought, I have a great idea.
We're going to hire an entertainer to come over here
and hang out in his living room when his parents
were out of town, and we're going to have a
(37:44):
show right there. And I can tell you that when
we did that for Mike's eighteenth birthday party, it was
the most horrible experience. It was more funny than anything else.
Here's here that story. She comes in and starts disrobing,
and immediately some of us were like, ah no, this
(38:07):
is not. First of all, she was like we were
we were we were teenagers, we were seventeen and eighteen
years old, and she was older than us, so she
was probably in her forties. And you know, for a
seventeen year old, eighteen year old guy, you're like, not
in Just like there was there were scars. I mean,
(38:31):
it was it was. It was gross. She was trying
to make it and we paid her because the guy
who was with her made sure of that. And that's
what I ended up doing. Once the performance got under
way and I realized I don't want to see this,
I just ate. I went because the pimp who was
(38:53):
with her now starts kind of wandering around the house,
and I decided to go hang out with him to
make sure he didn't steal anything. So that's what we
did for Mike's eighteenth birthday party. For many of us
here in Omaha, eighteenth birthday party involved going out to
Waverly or Council Bluffs for places you could. You had
(39:15):
to be eighteen, and it was and it was like
every other week. It was like, Hey, Tyler's turning eighteen,
We're going to Waverly. You know. It was so stupid.
That's what we did when we turned eighteen. This is
not this story.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
I know he made everybody stay at his party until
somebody won monopoly.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
That if that happened, that's not in the story. They
hired some entertainers.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Yes, okay, but not those kinds.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
No, they hired a group. What's described here by ESPN
as a group of dwarves. Now, I can think of
a couple of different thing. I mean, what's described here
(40:07):
by the entertainers themselves is they says, we dance, we
distribute drinks, we do magic. No one disrespected us, and
it was you know, we're we're normal people. We do
what we want in a legal way. And so the
entertainers who are of dwarf status are saying, look, yes,
(40:27):
they wanted some dwarves in there. They thought it'd be
kind of fun to have some little people in there working.
It doesn't And I don't know when it says we dance,
were the were these women who were removing their little
anty bitty clothes or we were we engaging in midget tossing?
(40:48):
I don't know what they did. We're talking about a
bunch of eighteen year old some professional athletes. I imagine it
was something that was incredibly demeaning. But the adults who
are the entertainment and are of fund sized status said, yeah,
(41:09):
we signed up for it, We're good with it. But
in Spain, it is against the law under Spanish law
entertainment acts that mock or demean individuals with disabilities. Are prohibited.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
I have a problem with that.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
I know I do.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
Tell you're saying is that you are a grown adults
person that wants to do this and be paid for it. Yes,
and it isn't illegal. I mean as far as right,
it's not prostitution or something like that.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
Well think about this. It's Spain. It's legal to run
down a narrow road with bulls trying to kill you.
But if you're of a diminutive stature, you're not allowed
to serve drinks and maybe get thrown around by a
kid for his eighteenth birthday party.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
So could you run with the bulls if you were
part of this entertainment group.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
I wouldn't recommend it.
