Yes, there was a news story reason that led us down this path. Yes, I really did work in a strip club once. Now stop asking me these questions and just listen to this show.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vordiez, the former executive director of the Nebraska Liquor
Control Commission, now faces seventy seventy seven felony charges. Each
of these charges carries with it a sentence of up
to twenty years in prison. Do the math here, he
faces one hundred and forty years in prison. Oh my gosh,
(00:23):
how many people did he murder? And where the body's buried?
For up to one hundred and forty years in prison?
I imagine several people are dead. No, that's not the allegation.
The allegation is is that the allegations are would be
that he used his position on the Nebraska Liquor Control
(00:43):
Commission to give special privilege to some Lincoln gentleman's clubs
that give special privilege to him.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Wait, you're talking about a corrupt politician in a gentleman's cla.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Say it ain't so, I know.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
And then part one of the charges is is that
he either witnessed or engaged in illicit activities at said
gentlemen's club and didn't tell the authorities about it. That's
what may be my favorite part of this story, The
idea that gentlemen are going into the Gentleman's Club. Gentlemen,
(01:25):
I just came in here to get a cup of
coffee and read my book. And next thing, you know,
this woman with no clothes on is coming over here
and saying, you know, for this amount of money, maybe
we can like a woman please. I sign out front,
said Gentleman's Club. I am here, I'm wearing my tails,
I'm a gentleman. I've got my monocle in.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I checked my top hat.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Right. That there are people over there using illicit drugs,
I won't have it. I'm I love the idea that
there are people that go into the Gentleman's Club witness
illegal behavior going on and go, well, I didn't come
in here for that kind of thing. That's exactly what
they came in there for, some of them. So what
(02:13):
I also didn't know. So apparently there are at least
two strip clubs in Lincoln. The guy that the former
executive director of the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission was allegedly
in cahoots with, and by the way, in cahoots is
not the name of one of the clubs. It could
(02:34):
be it's not the name of one of these clubs.
The guy he was allegedly in cahoots with is either
owner or co owner of both of these clubs. And
one of the allegations is is that liquor control guy
was looking the other way as there was illicit activity
going on in the gentleman's clubs, allegedly, and meanwhile he
(02:55):
would go into other gentleman clubs in the area, which
are in Omaha, because I thought Gary was talking this
morning about how there were a number of them in Lincoln,
them like, are there really a bunch of clubs? So
it says here in the story from the Nebraska Examiner
that he was basically threatening or calling the authorities on
(03:21):
Omaha clubs. The idea being is that there are a
bunch of guys down by the airport here in Omaha.
The authorities come in there poking around, and they're like, guys,
I didn't know that there'd be feds in here. Let's
drive an hour away. I know it's it's one o'clock
in the morning, but I'm not done partying. I understand
(03:43):
there's a club open in Lincoln. Let's go. And they
would just head down the interstate to Lincoln. I don't know,
I don't know, but the allegations here. Three counts of
honest services fraud, which is described here as being a
public official depriving the people of the an official's honest work.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Wait, that's a law.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Hold on, only he gets you the list.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
It's not only a law, loosey, it's a felony charge.
If there's a public official anywhere who's not doing the
honest work we expect that public official to do. Apparently
that's a felony charge. Do you have any idea how
many people we can throw in jail right now?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I said, let me get my list.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
This has to be from like seventeen seventy nine and
just still on the books.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
And Honor was honor two counts.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Well, that, by the way, is the name of the club.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Honor is Honor, No just.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Honor two clown clown. Two counts of wire fraud, one
count of extortion. Don't know who suggested what to whom
in this instance, but you know, if you're the director
of the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission, and this guy he
(05:10):
was from two thousand and four until this past summer.
He stayed on the job until June. It was in
May when the FEDS started talking to the Commission, going,
you know your director over here, we have some questions.
He was suspended without pay from his job, which being
head of the Liquor Control Commission one hundred thirty thousand,
(05:33):
five hundred ninety six dollars a year.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
So there's an opening already.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Got an email from Corley says wondering if you guys
happen to know how to get one of those Liquor
Commission jobs. Sounds like it's a lot of fun. That's
from Corley, sent to Scott at kfab dot com via
the Zonkers Custom woods inbox. So yeah, I guess it's
open one hundred and thirty thousand, five hundred and ninety
six dollars a year. And that was after a search
(06:00):
warrant was served at the Commission so they could poke around.
And by the way, it's also that's the name of
the other club. Poke around and then they were gonna
go poke around and see what they could see. They
also since the co owner of the Lincoln Gentlemen Clubs.
Here are the actual names of these clubs. I knew
(06:21):
about one of them because I drove by this place,
I don't know, sometime in the last year or two
and it was also in the news. I think some
guy was shot by a bouncer outside, or there was
some scuffle and someone went for a gun, and I
don't exactly remember what happened, but I remember, like, oh,
I didn't know that there was a strip club in Lincoln.
It's called the Office.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Where the bouncers are packing.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Well I imagine they are. But now, ladies, if your
gentlemen had been saying, I have to spend a little
extra time at the office tonight, and they've been saying
that here lately, there's the name of this club, is
the Office. They may not have been lying to you.
You can't come back to them and go You said
you were working late, and I find out that you're
(07:06):
in a strip club. No, no, no, I didn't say
I said I had to spend more time in the office.
I should have known that you were taking the fistful
of dollar bills. It shouldn't been to work. So one
of the clubs is called the Office, and the other
is called the Night Before.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
The Night Before.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
The Night Before Lounge is the name of the place
that I.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Guess you wish you'd stop. The Night before.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, I don't know. The Night Before.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
That's what they're saying. They're saying, stop and don't go in.
Should have been here the night should have been here
last night?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Where should I meet you tonight the night before? Why
don't you answer the question? It's are you okay? There's
a lot of things. See Lucy is Now this is
a little technical issue. Lucy is actually in the kfab studio. Well, yeah,
she is every day. No she's not. She's across the
hall in the Timesaver Traffics Center and rarely comes here
(08:11):
in the studio. But she can't be over in the
Timesaver Traffic Center because engineers are over there doing all
sorts of engineer and stuff. And so Lucy said, I'm
gonna go get coffee and never come back. And then
she came back with no coffee into the studio so
she could bang around.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Well, I'm trying to which by the way, that was.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
The third club? Yep, I'm sorry. Did I sell your punchline?
I couldn't help myself.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
No, I was just gonna let it hang there, not
the name of a club, let it hang there. Uh,
that wasn't as good. I'd like to strike that from
the record. Noted. Uh, So let's see, because the co
owner of these two clubs, and Lincoln is also caught
up in all of this. The Nebraska Examiner, doing some
(09:05):
news journalism on the story, tried to call the clubs,
and they noted in the story a woman who answered
the phone at the office. Yes, Hello, it's the like
Telly Ho. Thanks for calling the office. There's someone there
answering the who's calling the strip club?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I was wondering what your hours are after dark until whenever,
until whenever we tell you to leave. That's what the
hours are. Yeah, so you guys open on Mondays? Who
goes to a strip club on Mondays? Don't call here again? Yes,
I was wondering, am I allowed to make requests at
(09:48):
your club? Well? You can talk to the dancer. No, no,
no about the music involved. I have an aversion to
hearing Girls Girls Girls by Motley Crue too many times.
And I was hoping that who's calling the Gentleman's Club.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Is marking there.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yes, I'll get him. There's a person who's been fired. Honestly,
why would you call this place? I was wondering if
you guys are hiring always and we're gonna have to.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Inspect, asking if they have food rache.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Do you guys have food? Who's coming to the Gentleman's
Club for food?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
You don't know?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
It could be an up and coming chef that's gonna
take any job you can get.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Yes, I'm to get started. I just moved here to
Lincoln from New York or I was one of Manhattan's
find a Sioux chefs, and I was hoping that you
guys might be in the market for a good Sioux chef.
We don't know what that is, but Thursday night, spaghetti night,
that's where the guys come in here and they like
their noodle El dente. Who's calling? Who's calling the club?
(11:08):
I can't even There's something within our own company here
at the radio station. There is a particular thing that
I need to go to one of the company websites
and then I click on this and then for years,
a little pop up window would come up there and
I could use that pop up window to check take
a look at radio station stuff. Well, for the last
(11:30):
several months, that window doesn't pop up. There's an error message,
and I have to try, and it says right on
the page, if you're having any problems with this, call
eight A this phone number option one.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
And you got the office.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Hello Telly. Who No. So you call the number and
it says, oh, we don't do over the phone technical
support for this particular website anymore. You have to do
an online chat.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Funny thing is neither does the office. I do nothing
on the phone.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Point is like, this is an important part of my job.
Once a month, I have to use this tool so
I can get data so I can put it in
a report to send it off to some boss who
will not look at any of the things that I've written,
but they'll note if I don't do it. So I
have to do it, and I need this. I need
this to work. And every month it doesn't work, and
(12:21):
I try and get on the phone to support and
they say, we don't have anyone here to take your call. Ever,
we don't do this. But you can call a strip
club in Lincoln and someone will answer the phone. Maybe
I should call them. Yes, I'm trying to get this
tool working.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Come on in, this is when kids are in school.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I'm going to continue to ask this question until I
think I've exhausted all of the potential funny answers to it.
Who is calling the strip club.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Google business to make sure that all of your information
is correct.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Those are the calls I.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Hang up on the traffic tipline fielded seventeen calls yesterday.
Sixteen to them were the same guy was just breathing heavily.
We're like, just come in, we don't care. You can
do that here. It's fine calling the strip club. Yes,
so the FBI, I understand, No, I'm not done.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Yes, I thought it was being helpful.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I saw here that your place is noted as a
gentleman's club. I just want to make sure that if
I come in there, this is a place where women
are scantily clad? Right, yes? Just how scantily clad? Yes?
Is there a champagne room?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Like?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Just how do you know these phrases? How do you
know what to ask?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I used to work in one.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Oh did I miss that part of the show.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I will. I'll share those details and the rest of
the story with you next. Scott Goez News Radio eleven,
tien kfab. I used to work in a gentleman's club.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I don't recall that. I recall the movie theater.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Worked at the movie theater.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
And the radio stations.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Obviously worked at the radio stations and in between there
I was usually two and then it ended up being
three nights a week. I worked at the Gentleman's Club
in college under the name Mandingo, and ladies would know
I wasn't doing that. Some of you will know an
(14:39):
historic location Carney called the back Lot.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Actual name was this on the campus.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
No, not even within walking not within walking distance at
the campus, though I'm sure it has been within staggering
distance a time or two.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
How is it not within walking distance? I mean, Carney
has about fourteen people in it.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Carney has a good I don't know, twelve thousand people
in it, and then when the college students come, it
kind of balloons up. Around twenty thousand and on one
end of town when you get into the town, there
behind the old Hallo Doome is a place called the Backlot.
It no longer exists. But then clear several miles away
(15:20):
is the campus, kind of in the middle of Carney.
I'm happy to go take you on a tour. Yeah,
I'm going to pass on that you don't want to
go to Carney. No, really, have you never been on
campus at University Ofbrasca Carney?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Really, I've driven through Carnee.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Really you've never been?
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Oh my gosh, I thought it was smaller than that.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
You'll you'll love it, Carnee is a wonderful place.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Well I would have loved it, but now the backlot's gone,
So no, Yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Lucy needs to be in a place with at least what.
I don't know if there's anything going on around that
town has pitched a tent anyway. Yes, So when I
was in college, I worked at the Backlot, which was
a very unusual place. It was a gentleman's club by
(16:06):
day and then just a regular college bar at night. Yes,
I know you go in there three because once in
a while I would forget and I'd be like, oh, okay,
they're open. I got to go in and get my
paycheck at like four o'clock and a Tuesday afternoon, and
I go in there and the girls dancing on stage.
I'm like, oh, yeah, I forgot. This is a script
(16:27):
club during daytime hours, which is incredibly bizarre.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
That's like fourth string, third string.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Right, and I only I And then it was reggae
daytime stripper. I talked about that with Jamie Lisso the
other day. So so I was the DJ at night
when it was just a regular college bar. Penny pictures
on Thursday's karaoke night Friday, just you know, people hanging
out and having a drink and listening to some music
on any other night of the week. It was not
(16:55):
a big deal. Really. The only times I ever remembered like,
oh yeah, this is a strip club three times. Number one,
having to go in and get a paycheck. Number two.
When I was in high school, we had a basketball
tournament in Carney and someone noted, I think there's a
strip club down the street from our hotel, and I said,
(17:17):
let's go, boys, And so me and a couple of
other guys from the team went in there, and I said,
just follow me, went in the door, walked kind of
you to a table at the back, dark back of
the room, and we were in there for a few minutes,
and then a girl who worked there came over and said,
hello there, gentlemen. See I told you hello there, gentlemen,
(17:39):
thanks a lot for coming in. Hey wait a second,
how old are you guys? And I said, no, no, no,
don't worry about it. We're eighteen. We're not going to
try and buy alcohol. Obviously you got to be twenty
one to drink, and we're not going to do that,
but it's okay to be in here at the age
of eighteen. We weren't sixteen and seventeen. It's okay to
be in here at eighteen, so don't even worry about it.
(18:00):
We're good. And she's like, okay, have fun, and then left,
and that bought us a good twelve minutes with naughty
nicky on stage or whatever. And finally here comes the
owner of the club, Bob. I know that because he
was also the owner of the place when I worked
there later, and he hated this story because I was
breaking the law in his club and he didn't like
(18:21):
that kind of thing. He was a good owner. This
is a business he ran, and okay, so he comes
over and he's like, guys, what's going on here? And
I tried to do the whole thing and I said no, no,
you have to be He's like, no, you don't get
out quickly we were removed from the club.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Were you scared?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
No, No, We all had you know, high five and
and you know, huge smiles on our faces, like we
did it. We were in there for twelve minutes.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
And none of your other friends would have done that.
Talked in, walked in and just talked your way in.
I don't know, but it just seemed like a ringleader.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Every group needs a leader. In that instance, that was me.
And then the other time I was in there when
it was a club, was someone needed to run lights,
sound and fog machine for the male Dance Review Lucky You,
And that was my regular shift and that was a
nighttime special event, and boy was that educational. All the
(19:15):
girls little all the girls came in there and they
were all like, yeah, girls, it's our turn. It's it's
our turn to go out and treat the men like objects,
and yeah, this is our night to go cut loose
and have fun. Those guys treated those girls like private ATMs.
They knew just what to do, just what to say,
just how to extract as much money from them as possible.
And at the end of the night, all the dancers
(19:37):
were wondering what I was doing after my shift if
you catch my drift. So it was a very educational night,
I see. And the education, by the way, stopped there.
That's in case you're like and what happened next. Scott
Scott byes News Radio eleven ten k FA. Zonker's custom
(19:57):
was inboxed Scott at kfav dot com and it's open
and it goes without fail. We talk about any number
of things on this program. You know, the issues related
to like homeless encampments here in town, issues related to
law enforcement or politicians, or you know, a good full
(20:21):
throated rant on property taxes. No one ever comes up
to me and says, man, that day we spend a
half an hour in property taxes. That was I was riveted.
But I bring up gentlemen's clubs. I still have dozens
of unread emails. Oh send them to and it's just
it's stuff like, oh, man, you talked about the backlot
(20:43):
of Carney that brings back memories, And that's from a woman.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Maybe she worked there.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
She says, Well, as I told you, this was a
place in Carney that was gentlemen's club by day, regular
college bar by night. So peg emails and says the
backlot that brings back memories. No, I didn't work there,
but I went over there in the afternoon when we
were in Carnie for the yearly meeting of our state organization.
(21:09):
The guys would slip over for a drink in the afternoon,
and then the whole group had head over for an
evening and a great time dancing. And she says, see,
I like, I'll go with you guys in the afternoon
for a drink, right, she says, I wonder if you
were the DJ. Well, it depends on when you were
their peg.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
But but she said they went over there dancing.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah, was it afterwards on or off stack? No, afterwards,
you could dance on the stage. When it was just
a regular college bar Thursday nights, I was usually the
DJ on Thursdays. Are college bar is allowed to have
penny pictures anymore?
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I doubt it, But I don't even know what they are.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
It's a picture of beer for a penny. What's the catch,
I don't know. I don't remember there being one. I
think the cat which was alcohol poisoning, we'll catch that.
But I don't remember anyone getting crazy. The only time
I ever even heard about someone getting crazy at that club.
(22:13):
And this is when I corrected Gary on kfab's morning news.
So we were talking about this story and I'll get
back into the news portion that brought up the subject
of gentlemen's clubs in a moment. But Gary said, yeah,
I expect that the owners of these places are all
you know kind of. He implied that they were, you know,
crooked or sleeves balls or whatever, and I said, I
(22:33):
don't know about the rest of them, but the guy
I worked for Bob was his name McCarney. I'm also
getting a lot of emails from people going, I remember
that guy, and he was a good guy. He was.
He was a good guy. He ran a club. It
was a gentleman's club by day, college bar by night.
And the only time I ever heard about anything kind
(22:54):
of getting crazy in there was there was some chick
who was on stage. This was in the afternoon, and
she decided that she was going to get fully nude
and she was all hopped up on I don't know,
crank or whatever, but she came in there high as
a kite, was up there just taking off our way.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
You know what happens every night.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Yeah, well, that's against the law for a place that
sells alcohol. And Bob was not going to have anyone
coming in there and shutting down his club. It is
his club, it's his business. He's got employees who count
on the paycheck. He's not going to have some cranked
out chick up there shutting down his club. So he
(23:39):
went up there and said, madam, I think sure he
probably used different language. Excuse me, madam, You're going to
have to put your your pantaloons on otherwise we're going
to have to escort you out here. And she said
cust him out and all that, and he's like, okay,
have it your way and went up on state, grabbed her,
(24:01):
tucked her under his arm like Roger Craig running with
a football, and dragged her a kicking and screaming and
cussing out of the club, fully naked by the way,
deposited her in the parking lot and said, never come
back in here.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Do you know what would happened today if he did that,
even though it was she was completely in the wrong.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I'd probably be watching the video on YouTube. But what
do you think would.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
He would have been charged with assault? This is just
a crazy litigious world that we're living in today.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I don't know. Here are the charges of the story
that caused us to bring back memories of various gentlemen's clubs.
And by the way, I got people emailing me going,
can you get Camaro on the show to talk about this?
Or Dakota ann Yet, we used to have a guest
on the program, and it was always a bit of
(24:57):
a mystery because I thought for a while there because
one time she wanted to come on as Dakota Anne,
and I said, oh, you're not using your dancer name.
She goes, no, my dancer name is Dakota Anne, my
given name is Camaro. What that was one of the
turns that I didn't see coming during that conversations with Camaro.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I must have been gone that day. I don't remember that.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I know, you never remember anything we do. But it
was super funny. She was She was the one who
was on here. She was a hooker dancer is what
she called her profession at the twenties Showgirls Club. And
we had her on as she was talking about the
last day it was open and how she was really
going to miss this place especially, and then she started
(25:40):
like giving out full names of guys who were and
I said, you've got to stop naming full names of people.
She's like, well, then, Judge Ronald like, no, you've got
to stop giving full names of identities of people who
go there. One of the funniest things we ever did
(26:00):
on the show. All right, The Nebraska Liquor Control Commission
former executive director. This is a guy who was in
charge of the Liquor Control Commission for twenty years, and
before that he spent I think ten years as assistant
Attorney General for the State of Nebraska. So this isn't
(26:21):
some guy like I'll determine who gets to sell liquor
not and you know, by any means necessary. You know,
this is someone who he was. He was in charge,
and maybe he was in charge a bit too long.
According to the allegations, he and the co owner of
two gentlemen's clubs and Lincoln he was not only looking
(26:45):
past any illicit activity in there. And I haven't even
gotten to the part of the story that I meant
to get to, like forty five minutes ago. That might
cause some of you to go, wait, what's pretty done that?
Oh no, this is the part where people are like,
I thought it was funny until you said that, Scott.
Oh yeah, So here's this part. I'm not even gonna
(27:06):
that would be an excellent broadcast tease, like coming up next,
you know, No, we're doing it now. Among the allegations
is that this guy, in exchange for looking the other
way for activity probably involving you know, drugs, and sexual
favors and stuff. That's according to the story, But the
allegation was obviously these would be things that would cause
(27:28):
the clubs to lose their liquor license. Not only did
they not lose their liquor license, but this guy was
treated to uh special favors free this off the menu
activity that if you catch my drift, and here's the part.
(27:48):
According to the Nebraska Examiner, the FEDS say at least
one surveillance video investigators secured from the club showed this
guy receiving favors of a prurient nature. I'm changing the language,
and then it says and here's the part with some
(28:09):
guys suddenly their faces will drop and go Uh. Some
videos of people and compromising positions were saved to the
owner's iCloud.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Account against their knowledge. I'm assuming.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I'm sure when you go in there, there's a sign
that says security cameras are on the premises or something.
You see that in businesses. I imagine that those signs are up,
which is consent, like all right if I come in here. Well,
they don't read them that way, and I think that
they probably expect that if they're in the VIP room
(28:50):
and things are getting whether things are from a legal
standpoint that are incredibly immoral, or of the illegal standpoint
that are even more incredibly immoral. I'm imagining that several
guys are like, well, I didn't think that any of
that was on camera. Why wouldn't you think that?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Well, these days you think everything's on camera. But you
have to remember, he's still innocent.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Yes, this guy's still.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I haven't even mentioned his name. I've given you every
single identifying characteristic I can. I could identify his name,
but you know, he and the owner of these places,
they're both innocent until proven guilty. All these charges have
to be proven in court. The US Attorney's Office is
requesting a jury trial in Lincoln for these guys. As
I said, they face up to over like a hundred
(29:40):
years in jail, which come.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
On, well, I think we can all agree that that's
probably not going to be the case, even if they're
found guilty. However, if they're found guilty, they're going to
be spending some time in jail. In one day, one
hour would be too much for me, right, I wouldn't survive.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
All right. The other story about crime and punishment is
a former bookkeeper at a local Christian school, Cornerstone Christian
in Bellevue, was found guilty and yesterday's sentence for embezzling
four hundred and fifty two thousand dollars from her Christian school.
That's a lot of thousands of dollars. So she's stealing.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
She's sign of waiver saying she wouldn't be that person.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
I think it was implied. But so she stole from
a school, a Christian school, and the people in the church,
one by one came up to the judge saying, hey,
take it easy on her. Okay, she's really sorry now,
Like I said, Christian school. The judge said, that's great.
Nine months in federal prison, three years of supervisor release,
(30:46):
and you have to pay it back. I don't know
how she's going to come up with nearly five hundred
thousand dollars her.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Next job, right, maybe she'll it from the prison.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
She's I think she's been given an excellent opportunity here
to do better, and I hope she takes advantage of it.
We spent the last hour almost exclusively talking about the
allegations against the former Nebraska Liquor Control Commission executive director.
The allegation is that he abused his position as a
(31:20):
public official by letting a couple of gentlemen clubs in
Lincoln give him special favors. What kind of special favors
would you get at a gentleman's club? Oh oh oh yeah,
some of that stuff was off the menu, and it
says here. This is according to the Nebraska Examiner, he
(31:44):
visited often enough that employees just tallied the amounts of
his visits pulled from the cast register on sticky notes.
By the way, it's another name of a club sticky notes, yeah,
left for their bosses that they labeled COOB for the
cost of business. He would come in there, get a
(32:05):
bunch of free drinks, get a bunch of free dances,
other stuff, not pay a thing, and they would just,
you know, like just tally it down. They're like, all right,
this guy this much money, CoV cost of business. You've
got to make sure that the Liquor Control Commissioner is happy.
And that's the allegation. So he's in trouble. The owner
(32:26):
of the club's in trouble. They have text exchanges with
the owner of the club and another employee. It's expected
that the other employee, who's the one who's working with
the FEDS. The owner of the club said he liked
team players. When talking about whether to hire dancers who
might provide some extracurricular activities, he called them team players.
(32:50):
In one text exchange, he said, oh, the new blonde
just took what's his name, the executive director of the
Control Commission, Liquor Control just took him to VIP team player.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
So is that was a text?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Wow? All right, yeah, pretty bad. Still innocent.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Absolutely. The US Attorney's office is requesting a jury trial
in Lincoln. So we talked a lot in the last
hour about just about everything related to gentlemen's clubs, just
about everything, and it'll all be in case you're like,
I'd love to hear that, because I spend too much
(33:34):
time in church lately, and if I don't do some sin,
and then what's the point, right? I got to hear
you guys talk like. It wasn't that. It was just
stupid stuff like why does this club have a phone number?
Who's calling it? For what reason? I did ten minutes
on that only here, which is why a lot of
people don't listen to this show. But a lot of
people do, and they listening right now, and clearly so
(33:57):
a lot of people do. And they've reminded me that
over the years this show used to be sponsored by
a gentleman's club, and they've demanded to hear that sponsorship.
And because we take requests on the program, here you go, Hey, fellas,
have you heard the news.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
There's a new strip club in town.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
It's the brand new Peppermint Hippo.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
Come on down.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Wednesday night is free spaghetti night only at the Peppermint Hippo.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
If you look in to catch some herpes or a
case of the club, come on down to the Peppermint
Hippo to night.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
That's terrible. That's terrible. How could you even play that?
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Lucy? I think I agree with you. It is terrible,
but not as terrible as this. It turns out that
the Peppermint Hippo was getting so much attention on this
radio station that it turns out there were other clubs
that were also looking to also sponsor this program and
(35:10):
start a bit of a bidding war. Here's another one.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
This Scudvoi show is brought to you by the Double
M Dino.
Speaker 6 (35:21):
Forget about the Spearmist ignored the Peppermint hit Double the
thighs and double the size ce t Rex, the Girl
with Long Legs and freakishly small Combine. And this weekend
sees the sultry Miss Kenya Cnesia Contour, Wilder than a
(35:43):
Wild Boar, Ignored the Cold Sword, and She's a poor
man's version of to Me Moore.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
The Double Men, And every night at midnight se Bernice
played the butt trumpet, play the trumpet, the double Mint,
Dino Kinglake gibl down.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
It sounds like they used the same producers, so all
the competitors use the same producers. I have forgot.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I haven't heard that in years, but I remember a
couple of lines from it. I forgot about Bernice. That's
the part that really got me. The line that comes
in my head once in a while, just out of nowhere.
I'll just be just mumbling to myself and I'll just
say she was in a combine accident. Oh my gosh,
(36:41):
I'm crying knowing that this is going to be her
last show.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
No, No, we will not. I'll take over, okay, and
then that would be the last show.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
This is probably not the one to close on. Oh boy, wait,
there's another one. Yeah, Because we talked about this also
in the last hour and earlier. By the way, don't
fight with me, don't get mad at me. Gary started
this five hours ago. We jump on the air. This
is the first story he brings up. And we started
(37:17):
talking about all this stuff, and we got into a
conversation about places a gentlemen's club that served food, like
who's getting food? Like, you know, I'll take mine, you know,
pink in the middle, who's And then you have who's
getting food at a strip club? Well, as it turns out,
(37:40):
we did a bit on that one too.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Oh boy, should I stop you now?
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Because this I think I came up with this one
after I was on a golf trip at the Boys
in Florida and there were signs all over the area
for a place that was like and everyone said, like,
it's actually the best steakhouse around, but it was also
like Amen's Club, And so I was thinking, what would
be the poor man's version of Oh, this place has
(38:07):
naked dancers, and you know, if you're looking for a
great filet mignon, this is the place to go. So
I was like, all right, that except only about five
percent of the quality it is. That hour of Scott
Vorhees is brought to you by shakers and boloney.
Speaker 7 (38:22):
I used to get frustrated going to gentlemen's clubs. There
were plenty of shakers, but every time I tried to
get some bologney, they told me they didn't have any. Well,
that all changed when Council Bluffs, knewest club opened up
Shakers and bologney. Never again will you have to make
the choice? Now you can have Shakers and bology and
Council Bluff's next to Kynesville Collectibles.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
I name checked my favorite record store in that one
that was that was banned on the voiceover Shakers, Shakers
and Bologna, and yeah, just I just kind of liked
the idea of I wanted the setup just to have
him say in an almost dog style, never again will
you have to choose? They have both Shakers, which was
(39:08):
the name of the club in Waverly.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
How do you know all of this stuff?
Speaker 1 (39:14):
I'll tell you with no shame, Okay. Shakers was the
juice bar off the Interstate in Waverley, and because of
its status of not having alcohol, you could get in
there at the age of eighteen, so my senior year
of high school. I mean, I think there were actually
some times in my senior year of high school, like
(39:37):
I can't go back there again this month. Anytime one
of the boys turned eighteen, it was we're going to Shakers.
Anytime every single one of us who turned eighteen would
get like, all right, who's driving, and we would scream
towards Waverley. I think the only person that didn't have
his eighteenth birthday in some way, shape or form there
(39:59):
was me. Oh, you were too chased to go in. No,
I didn't go there for my birthday. I went there
for Tony's birthday. I went there for Tyler's birthday. I
went there.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Do your moms know about this, because they're finding out
right now.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
I'm Emory Songer and I'll be right back.
Speaker 4 (40:15):
Scott Boys Mornings nine to eleven, Our News Radio eleven
ten KFAB
Scott Vordiez, the former executive director of the Nebraska Liquor
Control Commission, now faces seventy seventy seven felony charges. Each
of these charges carries with it a sentence of up
to twenty years in prison. Do the math here, he
faces one hundred and forty years in prison. Oh my gosh,
(00:23):
how many people did he murder? And where the body's buried?
For up to one hundred and forty years in prison?
I imagine several people are dead. No, that's not the allegation.
The allegation is is that the allegations are would be
that he used his position on the Nebraska Liquor Control
(00:43):
Commission to give special privilege to some Lincoln gentleman's clubs
that give special privilege to him.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Wait, you're talking about a corrupt politician in a gentleman's cla.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Say it ain't so, I know.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
And then part one of the charges is is that
he either witnessed or engaged in illicit activities at said
gentlemen's club and didn't tell the authorities about it. That's
what may be my favorite part of this story, The
idea that gentlemen are going into the Gentleman's Club. Gentlemen,
(01:25):
I just came in here to get a cup of
coffee and read my book. And next thing, you know,
this woman with no clothes on is coming over here
and saying, you know, for this amount of money, maybe
we can like a woman please. I sign out front,
said Gentleman's Club. I am here, I'm wearing my tails,
I'm a gentleman. I've got my monocle in.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I checked my top hat.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Right. That there are people over there using illicit drugs,
I won't have it. I'm I love the idea that
there are people that go into the Gentleman's Club witness
illegal behavior going on and go, well, I didn't come
in here for that kind of thing. That's exactly what
they came in there for, some of them. So what
(02:13):
I also didn't know. So apparently there are at least
two strip clubs in Lincoln. The guy that the former
executive director of the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission was allegedly
in cahoots with, and by the way, in cahoots is
not the name of one of the clubs. It could
(02:34):
be it's not the name of one of these clubs.
The guy he was allegedly in cahoots with is either
owner or co owner of both of these clubs. And
one of the allegations is is that liquor control guy
was looking the other way as there was illicit activity
going on in the gentleman's clubs, allegedly, and meanwhile he
(02:55):
would go into other gentleman clubs in the area, which
are in Omaha, because I thought Gary was talking this
morning about how there were a number of them in Lincoln,
them like, are there really a bunch of clubs? So
it says here in the story from the Nebraska Examiner
that he was basically threatening or calling the authorities on
(03:21):
Omaha clubs. The idea being is that there are a
bunch of guys down by the airport here in Omaha.
The authorities come in there poking around, and they're like, guys,
I didn't know that there'd be feds in here. Let's
drive an hour away. I know it's it's one o'clock
in the morning, but I'm not done partying. I understand
(03:43):
there's a club open in Lincoln. Let's go. And they
would just head down the interstate to Lincoln. I don't know,
I don't know, but the allegations here. Three counts of
honest services fraud, which is described here as being a
public official depriving the people of the an official's honest work.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Wait, that's a law.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Hold on, only he gets you the list.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
It's not only a law, loosey, it's a felony charge.
If there's a public official anywhere who's not doing the
honest work we expect that public official to do. Apparently
that's a felony charge. Do you have any idea how
many people we can throw in jail right now?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I said, let me get my list.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
This has to be from like seventeen seventy nine and
just still on the books.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
And Honor was honor two counts.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Well, that, by the way, is the name of the club.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Honor is Honor, No just.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Honor two clown clown. Two counts of wire fraud, one
count of extortion. Don't know who suggested what to whom
in this instance, but you know, if you're the director
of the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission, and this guy he
(05:10):
was from two thousand and four until this past summer.
He stayed on the job until June. It was in
May when the FEDS started talking to the Commission, going,
you know your director over here, we have some questions.
He was suspended without pay from his job, which being
head of the Liquor Control Commission one hundred thirty thousand,
(05:33):
five hundred ninety six dollars a year.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
So there's an opening already.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Got an email from Corley says wondering if you guys
happen to know how to get one of those Liquor
Commission jobs. Sounds like it's a lot of fun. That's
from Corley, sent to Scott at kfab dot com via
the Zonkers Custom woods inbox. So yeah, I guess it's
open one hundred and thirty thousand, five hundred and ninety
six dollars a year. And that was after a search
(06:00):
warrant was served at the Commission so they could poke around.
And by the way, it's also that's the name of
the other club. Poke around and then they were gonna
go poke around and see what they could see. They
also since the co owner of the Lincoln Gentlemen Clubs.
Here are the actual names of these clubs. I knew
(06:21):
about one of them because I drove by this place,
I don't know, sometime in the last year or two
and it was also in the news. I think some
guy was shot by a bouncer outside, or there was
some scuffle and someone went for a gun, and I
don't exactly remember what happened, but I remember, like, oh,
I didn't know that there was a strip club in Lincoln.
It's called the Office.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Where the bouncers are packing.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Well I imagine they are. But now, ladies, if your
gentlemen had been saying, I have to spend a little
extra time at the office tonight, and they've been saying
that here lately, there's the name of this club, is
the Office. They may not have been lying to you.
You can't come back to them and go You said
you were working late, and I find out that you're
(07:06):
in a strip club. No, no, no, I didn't say
I said I had to spend more time in the office.
I should have known that you were taking the fistful
of dollar bills. It shouldn't been to work. So one
of the clubs is called the Office, and the other
is called the Night Before.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
The Night Before.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
The Night Before Lounge is the name of the place
that I.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Guess you wish you'd stop. The Night before.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, I don't know. The Night Before.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
That's what they're saying. They're saying, stop and don't go in.
Should have been here the night should have been here
last night?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Where should I meet you tonight the night before? Why
don't you answer the question? It's are you okay? There's
a lot of things. See Lucy is Now this is
a little technical issue. Lucy is actually in the kfab studio. Well, yeah,
she is every day. No she's not. She's across the
hall in the Timesaver Traffics Center and rarely comes here
(08:11):
in the studio. But she can't be over in the
Timesaver Traffic Center because engineers are over there doing all
sorts of engineer and stuff. And so Lucy said, I'm
gonna go get coffee and never come back. And then
she came back with no coffee into the studio so
she could bang around.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Well, I'm trying to which by the way, that was.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
The third club? Yep, I'm sorry. Did I sell your punchline?
I couldn't help myself.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
No, I was just gonna let it hang there, not
the name of a club, let it hang there. Uh,
that wasn't as good. I'd like to strike that from
the record. Noted. Uh, So let's see, because the co
owner of these two clubs, and Lincoln is also caught
up in all of this. The Nebraska Examiner, doing some
(09:05):
news journalism on the story, tried to call the clubs,
and they noted in the story a woman who answered
the phone at the office. Yes, Hello, it's the like
Telly Ho. Thanks for calling the office. There's someone there
answering the who's calling the strip club?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I was wondering what your hours are after dark until whenever,
until whenever we tell you to leave. That's what the
hours are. Yeah, so you guys open on Mondays? Who
goes to a strip club on Mondays? Don't call here again? Yes,
I was wondering, am I allowed to make requests at
(09:48):
your club? Well? You can talk to the dancer. No, no,
no about the music involved. I have an aversion to
hearing Girls Girls Girls by Motley Crue too many times.
And I was hoping that who's calling the Gentleman's Club.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Is marking there.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yes, I'll get him. There's a person who's been fired. Honestly,
why would you call this place? I was wondering if
you guys are hiring always and we're gonna have to.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Inspect, asking if they have food rache.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Do you guys have food? Who's coming to the Gentleman's
Club for food?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
You don't know?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
It could be an up and coming chef that's gonna
take any job you can get.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Yes, I'm to get started. I just moved here to
Lincoln from New York or I was one of Manhattan's
find a Sioux chefs, and I was hoping that you
guys might be in the market for a good Sioux chef.
We don't know what that is, but Thursday night, spaghetti night,
that's where the guys come in here and they like
their noodle El dente. Who's calling? Who's calling the club?
(11:08):
I can't even There's something within our own company here
at the radio station. There is a particular thing that
I need to go to one of the company websites
and then I click on this and then for years,
a little pop up window would come up there and
I could use that pop up window to check take
a look at radio station stuff. Well, for the last
(11:30):
several months, that window doesn't pop up. There's an error message,
and I have to try, and it says right on
the page, if you're having any problems with this, call
eight A this phone number option one.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
And you got the office.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Hello Telly. Who No. So you call the number and
it says, oh, we don't do over the phone technical
support for this particular website anymore. You have to do
an online chat.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Funny thing is neither does the office. I do nothing
on the phone.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Point is like, this is an important part of my job.
Once a month, I have to use this tool so
I can get data so I can put it in
a report to send it off to some boss who
will not look at any of the things that I've written,
but they'll note if I don't do it. So I
have to do it, and I need this. I need
this to work. And every month it doesn't work, and
(12:21):
I try and get on the phone to support and
they say, we don't have anyone here to take your call. Ever,
we don't do this. But you can call a strip
club in Lincoln and someone will answer the phone. Maybe
I should call them. Yes, I'm trying to get this
tool working.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Come on in, this is when kids are in school.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I'm going to continue to ask this question until I
think I've exhausted all of the potential funny answers to it.
Who is calling the strip club.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Google business to make sure that all of your information
is correct.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Those are the calls I.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Hang up on the traffic tipline fielded seventeen calls yesterday.
Sixteen to them were the same guy was just breathing heavily.
We're like, just come in, we don't care. You can
do that here. It's fine calling the strip club. Yes,
so the FBI, I understand, No, I'm not done.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Yes, I thought it was being helpful.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I saw here that your place is noted as a
gentleman's club. I just want to make sure that if
I come in there, this is a place where women
are scantily clad? Right, yes? Just how scantily clad? Yes?
Is there a champagne room?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Like?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Just how do you know these phrases? How do you
know what to ask?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I used to work in one.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Oh did I miss that part of the show.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I will. I'll share those details and the rest of
the story with you next. Scott Goez News Radio eleven,
tien kfab. I used to work in a gentleman's club.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
I don't recall that. I recall the movie theater.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Worked at the movie theater.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
And the radio stations.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Obviously worked at the radio stations and in between there
I was usually two and then it ended up being
three nights a week. I worked at the Gentleman's Club
in college under the name Mandingo, and ladies would know
I wasn't doing that. Some of you will know an
(14:39):
historic location Carney called the back Lot.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Actual name was this on the campus.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
No, not even within walking not within walking distance at
the campus, though I'm sure it has been within staggering
distance a time or two.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
How is it not within walking distance? I mean, Carney
has about fourteen people in it.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Carney has a good I don't know, twelve thousand people
in it, and then when the college students come, it
kind of balloons up. Around twenty thousand and on one
end of town when you get into the town, there
behind the old Hallo Doome is a place called the Backlot.
It no longer exists. But then clear several miles away
(15:20):
is the campus, kind of in the middle of Carney.
I'm happy to go take you on a tour. Yeah,
I'm going to pass on that you don't want to
go to Carney. No, really, have you never been on
campus at University Ofbrasca Carney?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Really, I've driven through Carnee.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Really you've never been?
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Oh my gosh, I thought it was smaller than that.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
You'll you'll love it, Carnee is a wonderful place.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Well I would have loved it, but now the backlot's gone,
So no, Yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Lucy needs to be in a place with at least what.
I don't know if there's anything going on around that
town has pitched a tent anyway. Yes, So when I
was in college, I worked at the Backlot, which was
a very unusual place. It was a gentleman's club by
(16:06):
day and then just a regular college bar at night. Yes,
I know you go in there three because once in
a while I would forget and I'd be like, oh, okay,
they're open. I got to go in and get my
paycheck at like four o'clock and a Tuesday afternoon, and
I go in there and the girls dancing on stage.
I'm like, oh, yeah, I forgot. This is a script
(16:27):
club during daytime hours, which is incredibly bizarre.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
That's like fourth string, third string.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Right, and I only I And then it was reggae
daytime stripper. I talked about that with Jamie Lisso the
other day. So so I was the DJ at night
when it was just a regular college bar. Penny pictures
on Thursday's karaoke night Friday, just you know, people hanging
out and having a drink and listening to some music
on any other night of the week. It was not
(16:55):
a big deal. Really. The only times I ever remembered like,
oh yeah, this is a strip club three times. Number one,
having to go in and get a paycheck. Number two.
When I was in high school, we had a basketball
tournament in Carney and someone noted, I think there's a
strip club down the street from our hotel, and I said,
(17:17):
let's go, boys, And so me and a couple of
other guys from the team went in there, and I said,
just follow me, went in the door, walked kind of
you to a table at the back, dark back of
the room, and we were in there for a few minutes,
and then a girl who worked there came over and said,
hello there, gentlemen. See I told you hello there, gentlemen,
(17:39):
thanks a lot for coming in. Hey wait a second,
how old are you guys? And I said, no, no, no,
don't worry about it. We're eighteen. We're not going to
try and buy alcohol. Obviously you got to be twenty
one to drink, and we're not going to do that,
but it's okay to be in here at the age
of eighteen. We weren't sixteen and seventeen. It's okay to
be in here at eighteen, so don't even worry about it.
(18:00):
We're good. And she's like, okay, have fun, and then left,
and that bought us a good twelve minutes with naughty
nicky on stage or whatever. And finally here comes the
owner of the club, Bob. I know that because he
was also the owner of the place when I worked
there later, and he hated this story because I was
breaking the law in his club and he didn't like
(18:21):
that kind of thing. He was a good owner. This
is a business he ran, and okay, so he comes
over and he's like, guys, what's going on here? And
I tried to do the whole thing and I said no, no,
you have to be He's like, no, you don't get
out quickly we were removed from the club.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Were you scared?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
No, No, We all had you know, high five and
and you know, huge smiles on our faces, like we
did it. We were in there for twelve minutes.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
And none of your other friends would have done that.
Talked in, walked in and just talked your way in.
I don't know, but it just seemed like a ringleader.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Every group needs a leader. In that instance, that was me.
And then the other time I was in there when
it was a club, was someone needed to run lights,
sound and fog machine for the male Dance Review Lucky You,
And that was my regular shift and that was a
nighttime special event, and boy was that educational. All the
(19:15):
girls little all the girls came in there and they
were all like, yeah, girls, it's our turn. It's it's
our turn to go out and treat the men like objects,
and yeah, this is our night to go cut loose
and have fun. Those guys treated those girls like private ATMs.
They knew just what to do, just what to say,
just how to extract as much money from them as possible.
And at the end of the night, all the dancers
(19:37):
were wondering what I was doing after my shift if
you catch my drift. So it was a very educational night,
I see. And the education, by the way, stopped there.
That's in case you're like and what happened next. Scott
Scott byes News Radio eleven ten k FA. Zonker's custom
(19:57):
was inboxed Scott at kfav dot com and it's open
and it goes without fail. We talk about any number
of things on this program. You know, the issues related
to like homeless encampments here in town, issues related to
law enforcement or politicians, or you know, a good full
(20:21):
throated rant on property taxes. No one ever comes up
to me and says, man, that day we spend a
half an hour in property taxes. That was I was riveted.
But I bring up gentlemen's clubs. I still have dozens
of unread emails. Oh send them to and it's just
it's stuff like, oh, man, you talked about the backlot
(20:43):
of Carney that brings back memories, And that's from a woman.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Maybe she worked there.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
She says, Well, as I told you, this was a
place in Carney that was gentlemen's club by day, regular
college bar by night. So peg emails and says the
backlot that brings back memories. No, I didn't work there,
but I went over there in the afternoon when we
were in Carnie for the yearly meeting of our state organization.
(21:09):
The guys would slip over for a drink in the afternoon,
and then the whole group had head over for an
evening and a great time dancing. And she says, see,
I like, I'll go with you guys in the afternoon
for a drink, right, she says, I wonder if you
were the DJ. Well, it depends on when you were
their peg.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
But but she said they went over there dancing.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Yeah, was it afterwards on or off stack? No, afterwards,
you could dance on the stage. When it was just
a regular college bar Thursday nights, I was usually the
DJ on Thursdays. Are college bar is allowed to have
penny pictures anymore?
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I doubt it, But I don't even know what they are.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
It's a picture of beer for a penny. What's the catch,
I don't know. I don't remember there being one. I
think the cat which was alcohol poisoning, we'll catch that.
But I don't remember anyone getting crazy. The only time
I ever even heard about someone getting crazy at that club.
(22:13):
And this is when I corrected Gary on kfab's morning news.
So we were talking about this story and I'll get
back into the news portion that brought up the subject
of gentlemen's clubs in a moment. But Gary said, yeah,
I expect that the owners of these places are all
you know kind of. He implied that they were, you know,
crooked or sleeves balls or whatever, and I said, I
(22:33):
don't know about the rest of them, but the guy
I worked for Bob was his name McCarney. I'm also
getting a lot of emails from people going, I remember
that guy, and he was a good guy. He was.
He was a good guy. He ran a club. It
was a gentleman's club by day, college bar by night.
And the only time I ever heard about anything kind
(22:54):
of getting crazy in there was there was some chick
who was on stage. This was in the afternoon, and
she decided that she was going to get fully nude
and she was all hopped up on I don't know,
crank or whatever, but she came in there high as
a kite, was up there just taking off our way.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
You know what happens every night.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Yeah, well, that's against the law for a place that
sells alcohol. And Bob was not going to have anyone
coming in there and shutting down his club. It is
his club, it's his business. He's got employees who count
on the paycheck. He's not going to have some cranked
out chick up there shutting down his club. So he
(23:39):
went up there and said, madam, I think sure he
probably used different language. Excuse me, madam, You're going to
have to put your your pantaloons on otherwise we're going
to have to escort you out here. And she said
cust him out and all that, and he's like, okay,
have it your way and went up on state, grabbed her,
(24:01):
tucked her under his arm like Roger Craig running with
a football, and dragged her a kicking and screaming and
cussing out of the club, fully naked by the way,
deposited her in the parking lot and said, never come
back in here.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Do you know what would happened today if he did that,
even though it was she was completely in the wrong.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I'd probably be watching the video on YouTube. But what
do you think would.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
He would have been charged with assault? This is just
a crazy litigious world that we're living in today.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I don't know. Here are the charges of the story
that caused us to bring back memories of various gentlemen's clubs.
And by the way, I got people emailing me going,
can you get Camaro on the show to talk about this?
Or Dakota ann Yet, we used to have a guest
on the program, and it was always a bit of
(24:57):
a mystery because I thought for a while there because
one time she wanted to come on as Dakota Anne,
and I said, oh, you're not using your dancer name.
She goes, no, my dancer name is Dakota Anne, my
given name is Camaro. What that was one of the
turns that I didn't see coming during that conversations with Camaro.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I must have been gone that day. I don't remember that.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I know, you never remember anything we do. But it
was super funny. She was She was the one who
was on here. She was a hooker dancer is what
she called her profession at the twenties Showgirls Club. And
we had her on as she was talking about the
last day it was open and how she was really
going to miss this place especially, and then she started
(25:40):
like giving out full names of guys who were and
I said, you've got to stop naming full names of people.
She's like, well, then, Judge Ronald like, no, you've got
to stop giving full names of identities of people who
go there. One of the funniest things we ever did
(26:00):
on the show. All right, The Nebraska Liquor Control Commission
former executive director. This is a guy who was in
charge of the Liquor Control Commission for twenty years, and
before that he spent I think ten years as assistant
Attorney General for the State of Nebraska. So this isn't
(26:21):
some guy like I'll determine who gets to sell liquor
not and you know, by any means necessary. You know,
this is someone who he was. He was in charge,
and maybe he was in charge a bit too long.
According to the allegations, he and the co owner of
two gentlemen's clubs and Lincoln he was not only looking
(26:45):
past any illicit activity in there. And I haven't even
gotten to the part of the story that I meant
to get to, like forty five minutes ago. That might
cause some of you to go, wait, what's pretty done that?
Oh no, this is the part where people are like,
I thought it was funny until you said that, Scott.
Oh yeah, So here's this part. I'm not even gonna
(27:06):
that would be an excellent broadcast tease, like coming up next,
you know, No, we're doing it now. Among the allegations
is that this guy, in exchange for looking the other
way for activity probably involving you know, drugs, and sexual
favors and stuff. That's according to the story, But the
allegation was obviously these would be things that would cause
(27:28):
the clubs to lose their liquor license. Not only did
they not lose their liquor license, but this guy was
treated to uh special favors free this off the menu
activity that if you catch my drift, and here's the part.
(27:48):
According to the Nebraska Examiner, the FEDS say at least
one surveillance video investigators secured from the club showed this
guy receiving favors of a prurient nature. I'm changing the language,
and then it says and here's the part with some
(28:09):
guys suddenly their faces will drop and go Uh. Some
videos of people and compromising positions were saved to the
owner's iCloud.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Account against their knowledge. I'm assuming.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I'm sure when you go in there, there's a sign
that says security cameras are on the premises or something.
You see that in businesses. I imagine that those signs are up,
which is consent, like all right if I come in here. Well,
they don't read them that way, and I think that
they probably expect that if they're in the VIP room
(28:50):
and things are getting whether things are from a legal
standpoint that are incredibly immoral, or of the illegal standpoint
that are even more incredibly immoral. I'm imagining that several
guys are like, well, I didn't think that any of
that was on camera. Why wouldn't you think that?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Well, these days you think everything's on camera. But you
have to remember, he's still innocent.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Yes, this guy's still.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I haven't even mentioned his name. I've given you every
single identifying characteristic I can. I could identify his name,
but you know, he and the owner of these places,
they're both innocent until proven guilty. All these charges have
to be proven in court. The US Attorney's Office is
requesting a jury trial in Lincoln for these guys. As
I said, they face up to over like a hundred
(29:40):
years in jail, which come.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
On, well, I think we can all agree that that's
probably not going to be the case, even if they're
found guilty. However, if they're found guilty, they're going to
be spending some time in jail. In one day, one
hour would be too much for me, right, I wouldn't survive.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
All right. The other story about crime and punishment is
a former bookkeeper at a local Christian school, Cornerstone Christian
in Bellevue, was found guilty and yesterday's sentence for embezzling
four hundred and fifty two thousand dollars from her Christian school.
That's a lot of thousands of dollars. So she's stealing.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
She's sign of waiver saying she wouldn't be that person.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
I think it was implied. But so she stole from
a school, a Christian school, and the people in the church,
one by one came up to the judge saying, hey,
take it easy on her. Okay, she's really sorry now,
Like I said, Christian school. The judge said, that's great.
Nine months in federal prison, three years of supervisor release,
(30:46):
and you have to pay it back. I don't know
how she's going to come up with nearly five hundred
thousand dollars her.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Next job, right, maybe she'll it from the prison.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
She's I think she's been given an excellent opportunity here
to do better, and I hope she takes advantage of it.
We spent the last hour almost exclusively talking about the
allegations against the former Nebraska Liquor Control Commission executive director.
The allegation is that he abused his position as a
(31:20):
public official by letting a couple of gentlemen clubs in
Lincoln give him special favors. What kind of special favors
would you get at a gentleman's club? Oh oh oh yeah,
some of that stuff was off the menu, and it
says here. This is according to the Nebraska Examiner, he
(31:44):
visited often enough that employees just tallied the amounts of
his visits pulled from the cast register on sticky notes.
By the way, it's another name of a club sticky notes, yeah,
left for their bosses that they labeled COOB for the
cost of business. He would come in there, get a
(32:05):
bunch of free drinks, get a bunch of free dances,
other stuff, not pay a thing, and they would just,
you know, like just tally it down. They're like, all right,
this guy this much money, CoV cost of business. You've
got to make sure that the Liquor Control Commissioner is happy.
And that's the allegation. So he's in trouble. The owner
(32:26):
of the club's in trouble. They have text exchanges with
the owner of the club and another employee. It's expected
that the other employee, who's the one who's working with
the FEDS. The owner of the club said he liked
team players. When talking about whether to hire dancers who
might provide some extracurricular activities, he called them team players.
(32:50):
In one text exchange, he said, oh, the new blonde
just took what's his name, the executive director of the
Control Commission, Liquor Control just took him to VIP team player.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
So is that was a text?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Wow? All right, yeah, pretty bad. Still innocent.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Absolutely. The US Attorney's office is requesting a jury trial
in Lincoln. So we talked a lot in the last
hour about just about everything related to gentlemen's clubs, just
about everything, and it'll all be in case you're like,
I'd love to hear that, because I spend too much
(33:34):
time in church lately, and if I don't do some sin,
and then what's the point, right? I got to hear
you guys talk like. It wasn't that. It was just
stupid stuff like why does this club have a phone number?
Who's calling it? For what reason? I did ten minutes
on that only here, which is why a lot of
people don't listen to this show. But a lot of
people do, and they listening right now, and clearly so
(33:57):
a lot of people do. And they've reminded me that
over the years this show used to be sponsored by
a gentleman's club, and they've demanded to hear that sponsorship.
And because we take requests on the program, here you go, Hey, fellas,
have you heard the news.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
There's a new strip club in town.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
It's the brand new Peppermint Hippo.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
Come on down.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Wednesday night is free spaghetti night only at the Peppermint Hippo.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
If you look in to catch some herpes or a
case of the club, come on down to the Peppermint
Hippo to night.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
That's terrible. That's terrible. How could you even play that?
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Lucy? I think I agree with you. It is terrible,
but not as terrible as this. It turns out that
the Peppermint Hippo was getting so much attention on this
radio station that it turns out there were other clubs
that were also looking to also sponsor this program and
(35:10):
start a bit of a bidding war. Here's another one.
Speaker 4 (35:13):
This Scudvoi show is brought to you by the Double
M Dino.
Speaker 6 (35:21):
Forget about the Spearmist ignored the Peppermint hit Double the
thighs and double the size ce t Rex, the Girl
with Long Legs and freakishly small Combine. And this weekend
sees the sultry Miss Kenya Cnesia Contour, Wilder than a
(35:43):
Wild Boar, Ignored the Cold Sword, and She's a poor
man's version of to Me Moore.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
The Double Men, And every night at midnight se Bernice
played the butt trumpet, play the trumpet, the double Mint,
Dino Kinglake gibl down.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
It sounds like they used the same producers, so all
the competitors use the same producers. I have forgot.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I haven't heard that in years, but I remember a
couple of lines from it. I forgot about Bernice. That's
the part that really got me. The line that comes
in my head once in a while, just out of nowhere.
I'll just be just mumbling to myself and I'll just
say she was in a combine accident. Oh my gosh,
(36:41):
I'm crying knowing that this is going to be her
last show.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
No, No, we will not. I'll take over, okay, and
then that would be the last show.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
This is probably not the one to close on. Oh boy, wait,
there's another one. Yeah, Because we talked about this also
in the last hour and earlier. By the way, don't
fight with me, don't get mad at me. Gary started
this five hours ago. We jump on the air. This
is the first story he brings up. And we started
(37:17):
talking about all this stuff, and we got into a
conversation about places a gentlemen's club that served food, like
who's getting food? Like, you know, I'll take mine, you know,
pink in the middle, who's And then you have who's
getting food at a strip club? Well, as it turns out,
(37:40):
we did a bit on that one too.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Oh boy, should I stop you now?
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Because this I think I came up with this one
after I was on a golf trip at the Boys
in Florida and there were signs all over the area
for a place that was like and everyone said, like,
it's actually the best steakhouse around, but it was also
like Amen's Club, And so I was thinking, what would
be the poor man's version of Oh, this place has
(38:07):
naked dancers, and you know, if you're looking for a
great filet mignon, this is the place to go. So
I was like, all right, that except only about five
percent of the quality it is. That hour of Scott
Vorhees is brought to you by shakers and boloney.
Speaker 7 (38:22):
I used to get frustrated going to gentlemen's clubs. There
were plenty of shakers, but every time I tried to
get some bologney, they told me they didn't have any. Well,
that all changed when Council Bluffs, knewest club opened up
Shakers and bologney. Never again will you have to make
the choice? Now you can have Shakers and bology and
Council Bluff's next to Kynesville Collectibles.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
I name checked my favorite record store in that one
that was that was banned on the voiceover Shakers, Shakers
and Bologna, and yeah, just I just kind of liked
the idea of I wanted the setup just to have
him say in an almost dog style, never again will
you have to choose? They have both Shakers, which was
(39:08):
the name of the club in Waverly.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
How do you know all of this stuff?
Speaker 1 (39:14):
I'll tell you with no shame, Okay. Shakers was the
juice bar off the Interstate in Waverley, and because of
its status of not having alcohol, you could get in
there at the age of eighteen, so my senior year
of high school. I mean, I think there were actually
some times in my senior year of high school, like
(39:37):
I can't go back there again this month. Anytime one
of the boys turned eighteen, it was we're going to Shakers.
Anytime every single one of us who turned eighteen would
get like, all right, who's driving, and we would scream
towards Waverley. I think the only person that didn't have
his eighteenth birthday in some way, shape or form there
(39:59):
was me. Oh, you were too chased to go in. No,
I didn't go there for my birthday. I went there
for Tony's birthday. I went there for Tyler's birthday. I
went there.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
Do your moms know about this, because they're finding out
right now.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
I'm Emory Songer and I'll be right back.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
