Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vordy's our conversation in this hour is gonna be well,
it's gonna be something else. It's gonna be something probably
a long time coming for many people. But it starts
off with some prefacing. I have to there's two moments
here in this conversation. I need to preface the conversation.
(00:20):
The second prefacing will happen a little bit later in
this conversation, which also talks more about why our guest
is here. The first bit of disclaimer is as follows,
four and a half years ago on this radio station,
there was a messy breakup, as sometimes happens in this business,
(00:40):
and there's not really anything I can say about that situation,
what happened behind the scenes, what led to this or
this decision or whatever. As a member of management here
at news Radio eleven ten kfab and iheartman Omaha, there's
(01:01):
just nothing I can get into on that. We can
speak though, and allow our guests for the first time
in over four and a half years, to use this
radio station to speak to these listeners and this community
about that situation, but there's just not a lot I
can say about it. So that's disclaimer number one.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
With that great song. It is.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
It's a pleasure to welcome back here on news radio
eleven ten KFAB, our former afternoon host of about ten
years or so. But it's been a while, Chris Baker,
welcome back to the KFAB studios.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Well, thank you very much, Scott.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
It is.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
It's weird. It's great to be here though, and I'm
sure Jim is very happy with all of the upgrades
in the studio. It's like twice the size.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yes, yeah, Well, the cocktail bar is coming along nicely.
It's not quite done yet. That margarita machine is going
to interfere with a lot of your live reads. People
are wondering if you and I are just going to
goof off for the next hour, or if we're going
to talk about why you're here, which we'll get to. Yeah,
but I know that you've been You've been living with
(02:26):
something for the last several years, and I want to
give you an opportunity to address that you and this
radio station parted ways in April of twenty twenty one.
This is something that has loomed over all of us
since that point. The platform is yours.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Well, you've heard the commercials for gold Bonn and the
heartbreak of psoriasis, and I have no I'm kidding. So
it's bizarre to me to be here because the last
time I was here, I knew this was the that
(03:10):
that was going to be the last time that I
was here because of what I refer to as the
tweet of death. And the best way to summarize this,
I think is Scott. You know, I've always talked about
this business. You know how much I love this business,
and I've always said this is a trapdoor industry. At
(03:33):
any moment, that door can open and you're gone. That's
what we all live with. That's what I lived with
for over twenty years in the broadcast business. And you know,
my name came up, made a dumb mistake and the
hardest part of it. I mean, there's a lot of
(03:53):
hard stuff about it, but it wasn't just how it
affected me, how it affected other people. It affected my kids.
You know, one of my kids got jumped at school.
You know how it affected my wife because she's a
teacher and all these teachers know what I do or
(04:14):
what I did, so she spent a lot of time
having to explain it. And then one of the really
tough things is that when you're in the opinion business,
you're you're accustomed to having the arrow shot at you.
That's just part of the game. You develop a very,
very thick skin. But when I talked to clients, what
(04:43):
they had to put up with was something that you know,
I really thought that that local other local media would
talk to me. They were all doing stories, but nobody
talked to me. Nobody came. I even called them, hey,
you are doing the story about me, and I'm right here.
(05:08):
I don't have anything to do this afternoon, so we could,
we could talk, but they didn't. And I think, you know,
as an advertiser, if you think about it, at the time,
everybody was coming out of COVID businesses who had been
desperately trying to hang on keep their employees make a living.
(05:34):
They're starting to emerge from the COVID insanity. And then
next thing, you know, mister bonehead goofs up a tweet
and they're not used to that heat. I'm used to
the heat, right, but the advertisers of kfab are not
used to the heat. And so you know that bothered me.
(05:59):
It's still Bob, there's me, and you know, I wasn't
gonna say this because I do understand that there are
people who relished what happened. That was the This was
the perfect opportunity to do this, and I wasn't going
to talk about it, but I thought, you know what,
(06:21):
I've always in this room. I've always been honest. I've
always been honest with the audience. But there is not
a day that goes by that on an hourly basis,
I relive that moment. I absolutely relive it. I remember,
Josh was where you are, Bird was sitting right here.
(06:42):
They're goofing around. In the meantime, I got Tony Connor
doing an interview and I goof up this stupid tweet,
and now I'm trying to figure out how to take
it down, and I'm asking Bird and Josh, well, they're
busy goofing around, and Bird and Josh so they don't
even know what happened. And so and I relive it
(07:06):
every day. I think about it in the capacity of
what would we be doing now? And you know, I
listened to Gary when he made his announcement the other day,
and which, by the way, congratulations to him. I can
(07:26):
gush over him all day and probably will as we talk.
But I think about it every day. I relive it
every day. I ask myself, if you just would have
been paying attention, why weren't you paying attention? And so
that's something that I'll probably never move past because the
(07:47):
reality isn't I always said to the audience that since
I was a tiny little kid, maybe even as a fetus,
I'm not sure I wanted to be on the radio.
But at the same time, I'm really blessed because I
did get to be on the radio, and I got
to do some of the greatest things. You and I
(08:09):
have made tremendous radio over the years, which I'm sure
will hopefully rehash. But as I was, you know, preparing
for today, I realized that, first of all, at least
half of my radio career, between Levington, KFAB and k
(08:33):
CAR and the Edge, half of my radio career has
been right here in Omaha, Nebraska. And you add that
to when I used to come through town at the
Funny Bone, killing by the way, at the Funny Bone,
of course, just killing, just killing. You know, this town
has been a major part of my life. My wife
(08:54):
is from here. We're still married. Despite some people won't
mention any names who were publicly rooting for our divorce.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Oh, it's the I apologize for that.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Well, you've always had a thing for her. Let me,
it's funny, you know, it's funny. Hi, Lucy, good to
see you, than Chris. I was going to bring Lucy
some glazed croissants, but I couldn't find it. Yeah, but
I opened up the conversation with him was yes, I
know I haven't seen you in a while. I got fat.
Let's just get that right out of there.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Well on, everyone stop it, let me let me try
and reset here. Yes, because there'll be some people who
are listening who have no idea what we're talking about.
With as you refer to the tweet of death Chris Baker,
Chris Baker's with us, a former longtime Afternoon host here
on eleven ten kfab messy breakup four and a half
(09:46):
years ago, and at the root of that was a
tweet that was described by some people, and this came
through in various media outlets as a quote racist tweet.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I received no fewer than eighty seven trillion emails about
you really since since that time. Oh, there's one that
sticks out, and I want to give you a chance
to address it. Came from a listener and I don't
remember her name, but she said, I've been listening to
this radio station and you guys and loving Chris's show
for years. I'm black, and I see what people are
(10:24):
saying right now, and I see the tweet, and I'm
wondering if my affinity for Chris was all based on
a lie. Is Chris Baker racist?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Most people who would call me that, regardless of what
I did or said, would would never change that opinion.
But I mean, let's just let's be honest. You know, no,
absolutely not. And I think, you know, in my time
here on the radio, I was, I think one of
the only people in town that was true, trying to
(11:01):
remind people of multiple, multiple murders where there were one
hundred people there but apparently no witnesses, you know. And
if you look at my radio career, of all the
years I was on the radio, this the tweet of
death is the only thing right. And that's been my
(11:24):
biggest frustration, or one of them, is that I've been
able to do so many great things and the you know,
but it's all summed up in a dumb tweet that
was really, you know, an accident, but but let me
I'll tell you a quick story. When you do talk radio,
(11:45):
you there are certain stories and certain callers that never
go away from you. You never ever forget them. And
there's one story out of Houston, and there was a
girl named Tanishus Stewart. I talked about it here on
(12:07):
my show. Tanisha Stewart was a girl who grew up
in a really really rough neighborhood. And but she stayed
focused and she went to school, She did her homework,
she did all the right things. She got a full
ride scholarship to Texas A and M, which is an
amazing engineering school. And so here she was. She goes
(12:28):
to Texas A and M. And so she came home
during a break and being the person that she is,
and and if anybody wants to look this story up,
go ahead. Her name's Tanisha Stewart in Houston, Texas. She
went to go went to her old boyfriend who was
a guy with a not a not a great guy,
(12:48):
and went to tell him we're I'm we're breaking up
because I'm going to college. I'm going this direction and
you're not. And so instead of you know, texted him
or instead of calling him, she went and talked to him. Well,
(13:09):
it didn't go over well. So he murdered her. And
if there's any kids in the car, you probably don't
want to hear these details, but they're important. He murdered her.
He I'll give you a minute to turn down the radio. Okay.
He murdered her. He dismembered her, and he cooked her,
(13:33):
and he smashed her, you know, he smashed her and
destroyed all of her remains. There was a guy named
quantel X in Houston and he was the head of
the AM I late for the break. I see you
getting answered, all right, I'll finish well, let me do this, okay.
(13:53):
So so quantel X. I always really liked Quantell and
I don't know if he really liked me that much,
but we had always get along quant Alex's New Black
Panther Party. So after that story came out, there's a
lot of stuff to a but Kwanell and Harris's County Sheriff,
Tommy Thomas were working together to not let a lot
(14:14):
of these details go out publicly until this guy went
on trial. But the bottom line was, this girl's mother
never got to bury her. Her remains are no telling
where they're scattered or whatever. So that bothered me. It
bothered me a lot still does today. And so this
(14:38):
is the kind of guy that I am. I felt
that what she had done with her life meant something
and that the kids who grew up and lived in
that same neighborhood they should know about this. So I
went to some people in Austin, Texas and in Harris County,
(15:00):
and I was trying to lobby that. I was on
the radio at the time, and so I was trying
to lobby them to name a school after her right name,
name the Tanisia Stewart Elementary or Junior whatever. And you know,
nobody cared it was they were, you know, basically the
way that I interpreted it was that, well, she's just
(15:24):
another dead black girl. And so I talked with Kwanell
about it a lot, and he and I we hatched
a a strategy and we were trying and me mostly
I was trying to get a school named after her
because I felt that if they would have named a
school after her, when these kids would go in that
school and they would know her story and they would
(15:47):
know or at least see, you know what, maybe I
can take that, Maybe I can shoot my shot. So
if I'm a racist, why am I working with a
guy from the New Black Panther Party to get a
school named after a girl because of what that girl
did all on her own. I didn't know her. I
(16:09):
just knew of her. But there are so many stories
like that that they always stick with me. And you know,
I'm not trying to give the old Oh you don't
got a lot of friends or whatever. I'm just telling
you that you can't. You know, you can't sit here
and tell me I'm some kind of stupid racist when
(16:30):
I see these stories constantly, and in my new position, right,
the same thing happens every day, and what I do now,
same thing happens every day. So you know that's what
I would say. Well, ma'am, if you can ever get
Quantel on the phone, I'm sure he would say something
nice about me. He was really cool too. I love
(16:51):
Quanta Lex.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I've known you for a very long time. You're one
of the biggest reasons why I'm in radio. I started
off in this business as your intern call screener in
nineteen ninety six, and I still remember that first day.
In all of the days that follows, I have seen
(17:13):
you watch the news at night and see a kid
get his bike stolen, and the next day you're calling
the news where does this kid live? And you're delivering
that kid a bike. When my window air conditioning unit
from my apartment, I was moving to a different apartment,
didn't need it anymore, and you're like, I know a
family who could use this. We took it over to
their house. There was a young man who was moving
(17:38):
from juvenile delinquency into trying to get a foothold on employment,
but he didn't have a ride, and you woke up
every morning and took this kid to work. I still
talk it shouldn't matter that these are people of color,
but they are you left out though. Yeah, I've never
seen you do anything nice for white people, That's what
(17:58):
I'm saying. No, I'm kidding.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
What I tried today to bring Lucy, but you didn't. Yeh,
yeh I.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
You and I have known each other a long time,
and the accusations that speak to your character I've always
stood up for and always will.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Well, you're very kind.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Now we get to the next phase of this conversation,
and that is you know why you're here along with
disclaimer number two, and we'll get to that after a
Fox News update in just a moment. Our guest in
the studio for the first time in about four and
a half years on this radio station is Chris Baker.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Scott Boy's News Radio eleven ten. Kate f a.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Former afternoon host Chris Baker. We've addressed some of that
which led to the messy breakup, the tweet of death,
as Chris called it, it's time to move in a
different direction. But before we get to the the answer,
why is Chris here? We have a segment on this
radio station we call moonbat email. Yeah, yes, I do excellent.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I don't know about this. This is great. This is
a great bib. You know the mayor would come in
and sing with this. Jane Douther Yeah, she I remember.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I remember the first time she was sitting here and
she's like, do I really have to do moonbat email?
H shue, we missed the sing along fart oh man,
Well maybe next time.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Really.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
The only thing we have here from several listeners is
they want to hear you say two things just so
they can feel whole this morning. They need to hear
you read the beginning of every moonbat email. And they
also have a request for you to work in the
word diversity.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Oh well, uh yeah. Well, first of all, moonbat email.
I dearly miss the moonbat email. But I got a
lot of moonbad email, and it would always be crious
and it would always be something nasty like they got
ridy you. Yeah, we'll have maybe Camfeb'll move into a
(20:23):
more diversaction. We'll have diversity on the airwaves. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, that that is fulfilling the requests of several members
of kfab nation this morning, you know, connecting music to
their errors and absolute just to smashed to the years
of the people who hate your guts.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, that's fine. You know, first of all, I have
to say this. Gary came in right just to say hello,
and it's just great to see Gary. And Gary of
course announces his retirement and we were just talking about it.
I think with Gary's retirement in and the outpouring of
of just all these people, you know, sometimes in the
(21:08):
world of radio, and I really started looking at all
this from the outside once I was no longer in it.
But people just don't realize how many lives you touch.
And Gary's a great example. There are people that have
only known Gary on KFAB he grew up with them.
(21:30):
You know, I got into talk radio because basically, Rush
Limbaugh was one of one of the big reasons because
when I traveled as a comic killing around the country.
I don't know if I've ever mentioned that. And but
you're alone and that host is your passenger in your car,
(21:51):
and even sometimes you talk to him. So Gary, And
this is one of the things I always loved about
coming to work here because this is a station that's
not just a radio station. This station is a major
part of this community. And the longevity of the host
(22:11):
on this station. It allows this bond between host, radio station,
and audience to be and I mean, I hate being cliche,
but it's like a family and I can I will
guarantee you now I can remember when like I miss
Rush because I would, first of all, I would love
(22:33):
to be doing talk radio with everything going on. It
is so insane.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Anything you want to say about the Biden administration that
you kind of missed out on.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
You know what, He's coming to town by the way
for a speech, and I was thinking it'd be cheaper
just to bring the auto pin right there you go,
thank you. But Gary, I always saw him. He was
kind of He's always been kind of the conscience of
the community. If it went on in Omahonda, Nebraska, I
(23:01):
know a lot of people came to find out what
did Gary think? What did Jim think? And they go, ah, whatever,
And then I'm kidding, don't and what did Scott think?
And what does Lucy think?
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Don't fool me with all of your gushing about this
radio station. As a guy who when we worked at
the competition for KFAB, you used to take regular gratuitous
shots at Tom Beca and we used to prank Charlie
and Mary on this radio.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Yeah, so don't fool me with it. That was fun.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Look, we're going to run out of time if we
don't get to its. Chris Baker, what is it that
you're doing here?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
So as a radio blowhard for years, I have, Uh,
you're gonna have to have me back on so we
can keep doing this. But anyway I do. You have
to do a ton of research in this business, and
I have spent years doing research and doing and watching
what I've always referred to as cycles, cycles of society,
cycles of human behavior, your cycles of political decisions and agendas.
(24:05):
And the other part is that as a radio host.
I have always had a real finger on the pulse
of the audience. Well, now I work at the courthouse
and that's what I do. I deal with people all day,
every day, and it's eye opening. I mean, it's so
(24:28):
eye opening. And I remember back in twenty eighteen, in
twenty nineteen, when they were talking about building the new
Juvi Justice Center and it was going to be great
and we're going to have all these magic programs and
the children are going to behave themselves. None of that happened.
They spent twenty seven million dollars just on this Juvi
(24:51):
Justice Facility that to this day is empty. There is
no one in there. That's twenty seven million dollars of
your money, right, And what got this really started was
when I noticed my house payment had exploded. And so
(25:12):
the wife and I are talking about it, and I'm
looking at how it happened, and it's much higher taxes,
and I know that you know where I'm all right,
So here's the deal. I'm gonna run for county board.
All right. I've done so much research on all of this,
but I Chris Baker Radio Blowhard, former Radio Blowhard. I
(25:34):
have decided that I want to run for Douglas County
Board in District six to replace Marianne Borgenson who has
been there for thirty years. Okay, and they, I believe
have They've made some incredible mistakes. And the Juvi Justice Center,
(25:57):
I believe in things need to be tangible. People can
really see what's up the Juvie Justice Center is. It
is an incredible mess. They spent twenty seven million dollars
of your money and that building it's been open for
what three years now or something hadn't been open. Well
it is open. Oh oh, get ready, it's open, and
(26:23):
it is now costing the Douglas County taxpayer a minimum
of twenty thousand dollars a month to keep the building open,
as if they're going to put anybody in there in
the first place.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
It's open, it's not doing anything.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
No, it's just sitting there and there is a guy
they pay to walk around turn the lights on and
off and flush the turlets.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
But Chris, they say that we don't need more space
for juvenile crime and juvenile justice as these kids it
is not really causing that big of a problem in
our community.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Well, let's see, they just indicted a fourteen year old
with murder within the last week and a half. You know,
the idea of finding ways to get kids to stop
committing crimes, I agree with one hundred percent. I'm right there.
(27:20):
I think it would be fantastic. But as I've done
my research, we have spent a fortune on things like
counseling and you know, early intervention and all this other
kind of stuff. Well, I want to be a member
of the County Board for a couple of reasons. Number one,
(27:40):
I want to put new eyes on the needs of
Douglas County. The second thing I want to do is
I want to get that Juvi Justice Center up and running.
One way or another, whether we are we're having kids there,
or whether we lease out that's to the FEDS or
(28:03):
maybe the state. The Feds you'll get more money. But
this is a great injustice to the Douglas County taxpayer
for you to just you spend this money, you build
this big building, you build this facility, and then you
don't do anything with it. And then the other thing
(28:25):
that I've seen in my research, and I've done tons
of it. You don't mean, Scott, I'm a research maniac NonStop.
So when they came up with their budget to build
this JUV Justice Center. They came up with a budget
to build it so that they could, at least the
way I look at it, so they could sell it
to you the public. They didn't budget to operate it.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
We are going to We're going to do two things here.
I'm going to actually take our quarter hour break as
opposed to last hour. And I got to get to
disclaimer number two as we talk more now with Chris Baker,
who just announced his run for Douglas County Board here
on eleven ten KFAB one more segment with Chris. Next,
Scott voices our guests in the studio. Chris Baker, Chris
(29:15):
former host here on KFAB, just a moment ago, announced
he's running for Douglas County Board. Disclaimer number two. You
and I have been friends since we were both little fetuses. Yes,
and I'm proud to say we're still friends today. That said,
when we have politicians, which you now are, thank you
here on the studio. We have good conversations, we have
(29:37):
fun conversations, but I don't look good in the cheerleader's outfit.
I don't root for anybody you're running against Mary Ann Borgson,
she's been there for a long time. I've had pointed
things to say about her. I've invited her on the program.
She's always welcome here. You're also running in a field
that has Colleen Brennan, who I'm also proud to call
a friend. She's been on before, and she's already car
(30:00):
out of time to be on next Tuesday. And I'm
not going to have the two of you guys on
every single week. Hey, hey, she was on. I'm just good.
You know, there's a lot to talk about in this race.
So why is it that, I mean, you already went
through some of the reasons you want to run on
the Douglas County Board. For a lot of people, though,
they say, look, what are you guys going to do
(30:20):
to bring down my property taxes? What is the function
of the board and what do you see as an
ability to do that and take it easy on taxpayers
if you are a member of this commission.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Well, the board is not necessarily controlling your taxes. They
do levies and that kind of stuff. Now, I'm not
going to try to make a bunch of promises. All
I'm going to make every day is going to be
seventy two and sunny. And I'm also going to try
not to ever use the word fight. Okay, But what
(30:52):
I believe that I can do is I can bring
a new vision to the county board. And I love
talking about things that areible. The Juvi Justice Center was
designed and built by Mariann Borgenson was in charge of
it with through a nonprofit, and also the Sherwood Foundation
(31:13):
was part of it. The Sherwood Foundation got a bunch
of press because they pledged ten million bucks. Okay, and
guess what they never gave it. They never gave you
the money. It was five million for the magic programs,
which to their credit, they have spent on magic programs.
But the five million for construction, they just never never
(31:37):
gave it to them, right, And they said, well, we're
not because it's not opening. Well, if you gave them
the five mil, they could open.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
They also did some really interesting things the commissioners with
COVID money, they started giving them out to pet project
local nonprofits. There was a dollhouse museum in northeast Omaha
that received a bunch of money. This at a time
now when Mary Ewing is like, hey, does anyone have
canned food? People need food in this community. Snap benefits
are apparently on the shelf right now. During the government shutdown,
(32:14):
Sheriff Aaron Hanson has said, this board needs to re
engage with immigration Customs Enforcement to allow them to detain
those criminal illegal immigrants and get paid by the federal
government to do so. Yes, they had done so until
September of twenty twenty one. Now they don't, and they
just voted that they're not going to do it anymore.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Well, and let's look at the reason that they voted now,
and this also has been a big pet peeve of mine,
is that people get elected and then they forget that
they're elected to govern and not rule. So I read
a lot of the comments from the board and it was, well,
we don't believe in repers, you know, arresting our neighbors,
(32:55):
and we believe the best path forward is to push
for comp frehensive immigration reform, which in reality is just
a blanket amnesty. But also that's four years down the road.
You're not going to get that now. You're not going
to get that during this administration. And you're a county
board member. Your job is not to manage the immigration.
(33:19):
Your job is to, uh make sure that the taxpayer
of Douglas County gets their money's worth, that offices like
the sheriff are are funded to the level they need
to be funded. And I believe that. Why would I
go in there and do something? First of all, it'd
(33:39):
be a different perspective.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Well, I want to answer that here with one minute
to go with Chris Baker.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Here, kid me, this is how, this is how it goes.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Dude, you've never done this before, so you got a
minute here to respond to people to say, like, all right,
you're talking. You don't talk like a politician, and you've
got a lot of history and social media posts that
will come back and in this campaign tell people why
they should consider you for Douglas County Board and where
they can go for more information.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
All right. The Chris Baker website Chris Baker for Douglas
Coounty Board dot com is the website and it is
under construction. I had a little bank problem, you know what, unbelievable, Scott,
a technological problem. But I got that figured out. So
we'll have it all finished up very soon anyway, probably
later today. But why me? Because I know more about
(34:29):
illegal immigration than anybody in this town. You know that?
All right? I can talk about it. Second of all,
I believe that those people are humans, and my entire
radio career I've said that, and I've talked about the abuses,
I've talked about the horrible things they go through. But
in reality, what I believe is that the Douglas County
taxpayer needs a voice in that boardroom and needs a
(34:54):
voice on those County Board votes. And you know, the
members of the County Board are not stupid, they're not
bad people. They're they're accomplished people. I believe I can
work with them to serve the Douglas County Board.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
We will have more members, yes, the people of Douglas County.
We will have more conversation. And I'm sorry to cut
you off, but Chris, it's.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
I haven't even tweeted and I'm already getting bounced.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Good to have you back here, if only for an hour.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Scott Voyes Mornings nine to eleven on news Radio eleven
ten KFAB
Scott Vordy's our conversation in this hour is gonna be well,
it's gonna be something else. It's gonna be something probably
a long time coming for many people. But it starts
off with some prefacing. I have to there's two moments
here in this conversation. I need to preface the conversation.
(00:20):
The second prefacing will happen a little bit later in
this conversation, which also talks more about why our guest
is here. The first bit of disclaimer is as follows,
four and a half years ago on this radio station,
there was a messy breakup, as sometimes happens in this business,
(00:40):
and there's not really anything I can say about that situation,
what happened behind the scenes, what led to this or
this decision or whatever. As a member of management here
at news Radio eleven ten kfab and iheartman Omaha, there's
(01:01):
just nothing I can get into on that. We can
speak though, and allow our guests for the first time
in over four and a half years, to use this
radio station to speak to these listeners and this community
about that situation, but there's just not a lot I
can say about it. So that's disclaimer number one.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
With that great song. It is.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
It's a pleasure to welcome back here on news radio
eleven ten KFAB, our former afternoon host of about ten
years or so. But it's been a while, Chris Baker,
welcome back to the KFAB studios.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Well, thank you very much, Scott.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
It is.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
It's weird. It's great to be here though, and I'm
sure Jim is very happy with all of the upgrades
in the studio. It's like twice the size.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yes, yeah, Well, the cocktail bar is coming along nicely.
It's not quite done yet. That margarita machine is going
to interfere with a lot of your live reads. People
are wondering if you and I are just going to
goof off for the next hour, or if we're going
to talk about why you're here, which we'll get to. Yeah,
but I know that you've been You've been living with
(02:26):
something for the last several years, and I want to
give you an opportunity to address that you and this
radio station parted ways in April of twenty twenty one.
This is something that has loomed over all of us
since that point. The platform is yours.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Well, you've heard the commercials for gold Bonn and the
heartbreak of psoriasis, and I have no I'm kidding. So
it's bizarre to me to be here because the last
time I was here, I knew this was the that
(03:10):
that was going to be the last time that I
was here because of what I refer to as the
tweet of death. And the best way to summarize this,
I think is Scott. You know, I've always talked about
this business. You know how much I love this business,
and I've always said this is a trapdoor industry. At
(03:33):
any moment, that door can open and you're gone. That's
what we all live with. That's what I lived with
for over twenty years in the broadcast business. And you know,
my name came up, made a dumb mistake and the
hardest part of it. I mean, there's a lot of
(03:53):
hard stuff about it, but it wasn't just how it
affected me, how it affected other people. It affected my kids.
You know, one of my kids got jumped at school.
You know how it affected my wife because she's a
teacher and all these teachers know what I do or
(04:14):
what I did, so she spent a lot of time
having to explain it. And then one of the really
tough things is that when you're in the opinion business,
you're you're accustomed to having the arrow shot at you.
That's just part of the game. You develop a very,
very thick skin. But when I talked to clients, what
(04:43):
they had to put up with was something that you know,
I really thought that that local other local media would
talk to me. They were all doing stories, but nobody
talked to me. Nobody came. I even called them, hey,
you are doing the story about me, and I'm right here.
(05:08):
I don't have anything to do this afternoon, so we could,
we could talk, but they didn't. And I think, you know,
as an advertiser, if you think about it, at the time,
everybody was coming out of COVID businesses who had been
desperately trying to hang on keep their employees make a living.
(05:34):
They're starting to emerge from the COVID insanity. And then
next thing, you know, mister bonehead goofs up a tweet
and they're not used to that heat. I'm used to
the heat, right, but the advertisers of kfab are not
used to the heat. And so you know that bothered me.
(05:59):
It's still Bob, there's me, and you know, I wasn't
gonna say this because I do understand that there are
people who relished what happened. That was the This was
the perfect opportunity to do this, and I wasn't going
to talk about it, but I thought, you know what,
(06:21):
I've always in this room. I've always been honest. I've
always been honest with the audience. But there is not
a day that goes by that on an hourly basis,
I relive that moment. I absolutely relive it. I remember,
Josh was where you are, Bird was sitting right here.
(06:42):
They're goofing around. In the meantime, I got Tony Connor
doing an interview and I goof up this stupid tweet,
and now I'm trying to figure out how to take
it down, and I'm asking Bird and Josh, well, they're
busy goofing around, and Bird and Josh so they don't
even know what happened. And so and I relive it
(07:06):
every day. I think about it in the capacity of
what would we be doing now? And you know, I
listened to Gary when he made his announcement the other day,
and which, by the way, congratulations to him. I can
(07:26):
gush over him all day and probably will as we talk.
But I think about it every day. I relive it
every day. I ask myself, if you just would have
been paying attention, why weren't you paying attention? And so
that's something that I'll probably never move past because the
(07:47):
reality isn't I always said to the audience that since
I was a tiny little kid, maybe even as a fetus,
I'm not sure I wanted to be on the radio.
But at the same time, I'm really blessed because I
did get to be on the radio, and I got
to do some of the greatest things. You and I
(08:09):
have made tremendous radio over the years, which I'm sure
will hopefully rehash. But as I was, you know, preparing
for today, I realized that, first of all, at least
half of my radio career, between Levington, KFAB and k
(08:33):
CAR and the Edge, half of my radio career has
been right here in Omaha, Nebraska. And you add that
to when I used to come through town at the
Funny Bone, killing by the way, at the Funny Bone,
of course, just killing, just killing. You know, this town
has been a major part of my life. My wife
(08:54):
is from here. We're still married. Despite some people won't
mention any names who were publicly rooting for our divorce.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Oh, it's the I apologize for that.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Well, you've always had a thing for her. Let me,
it's funny, you know, it's funny. Hi, Lucy, good to
see you, than Chris. I was going to bring Lucy
some glazed croissants, but I couldn't find it. Yeah, but
I opened up the conversation with him was yes, I
know I haven't seen you in a while. I got fat.
Let's just get that right out of there.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Well on, everyone stop it, let me let me try
and reset here. Yes, because there'll be some people who
are listening who have no idea what we're talking about.
With as you refer to the tweet of death Chris Baker,
Chris Baker's with us, a former longtime Afternoon host here
on eleven ten kfab messy breakup four and a half
(09:46):
years ago, and at the root of that was a
tweet that was described by some people, and this came
through in various media outlets as a quote racist tweet.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I received no fewer than eighty seven trillion emails about
you really since since that time. Oh, there's one that
sticks out, and I want to give you a chance
to address it. Came from a listener and I don't
remember her name, but she said, I've been listening to
this radio station and you guys and loving Chris's show
for years. I'm black, and I see what people are
(10:24):
saying right now, and I see the tweet, and I'm
wondering if my affinity for Chris was all based on
a lie. Is Chris Baker racist?
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Most people who would call me that, regardless of what
I did or said, would would never change that opinion.
But I mean, let's just let's be honest. You know, no,
absolutely not. And I think, you know, in my time
here on the radio, I was, I think one of
the only people in town that was true, trying to
(11:01):
remind people of multiple, multiple murders where there were one
hundred people there but apparently no witnesses, you know. And
if you look at my radio career, of all the
years I was on the radio, this the tweet of
death is the only thing right. And that's been my
(11:24):
biggest frustration, or one of them, is that I've been
able to do so many great things and the you know,
but it's all summed up in a dumb tweet that
was really, you know, an accident, but but let me
I'll tell you a quick story. When you do talk radio,
(11:45):
you there are certain stories and certain callers that never
go away from you. You never ever forget them. And
there's one story out of Houston, and there was a
girl named Tanishus Stewart. I talked about it here on
(12:07):
my show. Tanisha Stewart was a girl who grew up
in a really really rough neighborhood. And but she stayed
focused and she went to school, She did her homework,
she did all the right things. She got a full
ride scholarship to Texas A and M, which is an
amazing engineering school. And so here she was. She goes
(12:28):
to Texas A and M. And so she came home
during a break and being the person that she is,
and and if anybody wants to look this story up,
go ahead. Her name's Tanisha Stewart in Houston, Texas. She
went to go went to her old boyfriend who was
a guy with a not a not a great guy,
(12:48):
and went to tell him we're I'm we're breaking up
because I'm going to college. I'm going this direction and
you're not. And so instead of you know, texted him
or instead of calling him, she went and talked to him. Well,
(13:09):
it didn't go over well. So he murdered her. And
if there's any kids in the car, you probably don't
want to hear these details, but they're important. He murdered her.
He I'll give you a minute to turn down the radio. Okay.
He murdered her. He dismembered her, and he cooked her,
(13:33):
and he smashed her, you know, he smashed her and
destroyed all of her remains. There was a guy named
quantel X in Houston and he was the head of
the AM I late for the break. I see you
getting answered, all right, I'll finish well, let me do this, okay.
(13:53):
So so quantel X. I always really liked Quantell and
I don't know if he really liked me that much,
but we had always get along quant Alex's New Black
Panther Party. So after that story came out, there's a
lot of stuff to a but Kwanell and Harris's County Sheriff,
Tommy Thomas were working together to not let a lot
(14:14):
of these details go out publicly until this guy went
on trial. But the bottom line was, this girl's mother
never got to bury her. Her remains are no telling
where they're scattered or whatever. So that bothered me. It
bothered me a lot still does today. And so this
(14:38):
is the kind of guy that I am. I felt
that what she had done with her life meant something
and that the kids who grew up and lived in
that same neighborhood they should know about this. So I
went to some people in Austin, Texas and in Harris County,
(15:00):
and I was trying to lobby that. I was on
the radio at the time, and so I was trying
to lobby them to name a school after her right name,
name the Tanisia Stewart Elementary or Junior whatever. And you know,
nobody cared it was they were, you know, basically the
way that I interpreted it was that, well, she's just
(15:24):
another dead black girl. And so I talked with Kwanell
about it a lot, and he and I we hatched
a a strategy and we were trying and me mostly
I was trying to get a school named after her
because I felt that if they would have named a
school after her, when these kids would go in that
school and they would know her story and they would
(15:47):
know or at least see, you know what, maybe I
can take that, Maybe I can shoot my shot. So
if I'm a racist, why am I working with a
guy from the New Black Panther Party to get a
school named after a girl because of what that girl
did all on her own. I didn't know her. I
(16:09):
just knew of her. But there are so many stories
like that that they always stick with me. And you know,
I'm not trying to give the old Oh you don't
got a lot of friends or whatever. I'm just telling
you that you can't. You know, you can't sit here
and tell me I'm some kind of stupid racist when
(16:30):
I see these stories constantly, and in my new position, right,
the same thing happens every day, and what I do now,
same thing happens every day. So you know that's what
I would say. Well, ma'am, if you can ever get
Quantel on the phone, I'm sure he would say something
nice about me. He was really cool too. I love
(16:51):
Quanta Lex.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I've known you for a very long time. You're one
of the biggest reasons why I'm in radio. I started
off in this business as your intern call screener in
nineteen ninety six, and I still remember that first day.
In all of the days that follows, I have seen
(17:13):
you watch the news at night and see a kid
get his bike stolen, and the next day you're calling
the news where does this kid live? And you're delivering
that kid a bike. When my window air conditioning unit
from my apartment, I was moving to a different apartment,
didn't need it anymore, and you're like, I know a
family who could use this. We took it over to
their house. There was a young man who was moving
(17:38):
from juvenile delinquency into trying to get a foothold on employment,
but he didn't have a ride, and you woke up
every morning and took this kid to work. I still
talk it shouldn't matter that these are people of color,
but they are you left out though. Yeah, I've never
seen you do anything nice for white people, That's what
(17:58):
I'm saying. No, I'm kidding.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
What I tried today to bring Lucy, but you didn't. Yeh,
yeh I.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
You and I have known each other a long time,
and the accusations that speak to your character I've always
stood up for and always will.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Well, you're very kind.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Now we get to the next phase of this conversation,
and that is you know why you're here along with
disclaimer number two, and we'll get to that after a
Fox News update in just a moment. Our guest in
the studio for the first time in about four and
a half years on this radio station is Chris Baker.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Scott Boy's News Radio eleven ten. Kate f a.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Former afternoon host Chris Baker. We've addressed some of that
which led to the messy breakup, the tweet of death,
as Chris called it, it's time to move in a
different direction. But before we get to the the answer,
why is Chris here? We have a segment on this
radio station we call moonbat email. Yeah, yes, I do excellent.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I don't know about this. This is great. This is
a great bib. You know the mayor would come in
and sing with this. Jane Douther Yeah, she I remember.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I remember the first time she was sitting here and
she's like, do I really have to do moonbat email?
H shue, we missed the sing along fart oh man,
Well maybe next time.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Really.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
The only thing we have here from several listeners is
they want to hear you say two things just so
they can feel whole this morning. They need to hear
you read the beginning of every moonbat email. And they
also have a request for you to work in the
word diversity.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Oh well, uh yeah. Well, first of all, moonbat email.
I dearly miss the moonbat email. But I got a
lot of moonbad email, and it would always be crious
and it would always be something nasty like they got
ridy you. Yeah, we'll have maybe Camfeb'll move into a
(20:23):
more diversaction. We'll have diversity on the airwaves. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, that that is fulfilling the requests of several members
of kfab nation this morning, you know, connecting music to
their errors and absolute just to smashed to the years
of the people who hate your guts.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, that's fine. You know, first of all, I have
to say this. Gary came in right just to say hello,
and it's just great to see Gary. And Gary of
course announces his retirement and we were just talking about it.
I think with Gary's retirement in and the outpouring of
of just all these people, you know, sometimes in the
(21:08):
world of radio, and I really started looking at all
this from the outside once I was no longer in it.
But people just don't realize how many lives you touch.
And Gary's a great example. There are people that have
only known Gary on KFAB he grew up with them.
(21:30):
You know, I got into talk radio because basically, Rush
Limbaugh was one of one of the big reasons because
when I traveled as a comic killing around the country.
I don't know if I've ever mentioned that. And but
you're alone and that host is your passenger in your car,
(21:51):
and even sometimes you talk to him. So Gary, And
this is one of the things I always loved about
coming to work here because this is a station that's
not just a radio station. This station is a major
part of this community. And the longevity of the host
(22:11):
on this station. It allows this bond between host, radio station,
and audience to be and I mean, I hate being cliche,
but it's like a family and I can I will
guarantee you now I can remember when like I miss
Rush because I would, first of all, I would love
(22:33):
to be doing talk radio with everything going on. It
is so insane.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Anything you want to say about the Biden administration that
you kind of missed out on.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
You know what, He's coming to town by the way
for a speech, and I was thinking it'd be cheaper
just to bring the auto pin right there you go,
thank you. But Gary, I always saw him. He was
kind of He's always been kind of the conscience of
the community. If it went on in Omahonda, Nebraska, I
(23:01):
know a lot of people came to find out what
did Gary think? What did Jim think? And they go, ah, whatever,
And then I'm kidding, don't and what did Scott think?
And what does Lucy think?
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Don't fool me with all of your gushing about this
radio station. As a guy who when we worked at
the competition for KFAB, you used to take regular gratuitous
shots at Tom Beca and we used to prank Charlie
and Mary on this radio.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Yeah, so don't fool me with it. That was fun.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Look, we're going to run out of time if we
don't get to its. Chris Baker, what is it that
you're doing here?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
So as a radio blowhard for years, I have, Uh,
you're gonna have to have me back on so we
can keep doing this. But anyway I do. You have
to do a ton of research in this business, and
I have spent years doing research and doing and watching
what I've always referred to as cycles, cycles of society,
cycles of human behavior, your cycles of political decisions and agendas.
(24:05):
And the other part is that as a radio host.
I have always had a real finger on the pulse
of the audience. Well, now I work at the courthouse
and that's what I do. I deal with people all day,
every day, and it's eye opening. I mean, it's so
(24:28):
eye opening. And I remember back in twenty eighteen, in
twenty nineteen, when they were talking about building the new
Juvi Justice Center and it was going to be great
and we're going to have all these magic programs and
the children are going to behave themselves. None of that happened.
They spent twenty seven million dollars just on this Juvi
(24:51):
Justice Facility that to this day is empty. There is
no one in there. That's twenty seven million dollars of
your money, right, And what got this really started was
when I noticed my house payment had exploded. And so
(25:12):
the wife and I are talking about it, and I'm
looking at how it happened, and it's much higher taxes,
and I know that you know where I'm all right,
So here's the deal. I'm gonna run for county board.
All right. I've done so much research on all of this,
but I Chris Baker Radio Blowhard, former Radio Blowhard. I
(25:34):
have decided that I want to run for Douglas County
Board in District six to replace Marianne Borgenson who has
been there for thirty years. Okay, and they, I believe
have They've made some incredible mistakes. And the Juvi Justice Center,
(25:57):
I believe in things need to be tangible. People can
really see what's up the Juvie Justice Center is. It
is an incredible mess. They spent twenty seven million dollars
of your money and that building it's been open for
what three years now or something hadn't been open. Well
it is open. Oh oh, get ready, it's open, and
(26:23):
it is now costing the Douglas County taxpayer a minimum
of twenty thousand dollars a month to keep the building open,
as if they're going to put anybody in there in
the first place.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
It's open, it's not doing anything.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
No, it's just sitting there and there is a guy
they pay to walk around turn the lights on and
off and flush the turlets.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
But Chris, they say that we don't need more space
for juvenile crime and juvenile justice as these kids it
is not really causing that big of a problem in
our community.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Well, let's see, they just indicted a fourteen year old
with murder within the last week and a half. You know,
the idea of finding ways to get kids to stop
committing crimes, I agree with one hundred percent. I'm right there.
(27:20):
I think it would be fantastic. But as I've done
my research, we have spent a fortune on things like
counseling and you know, early intervention and all this other
kind of stuff. Well, I want to be a member
of the County Board for a couple of reasons. Number one,
(27:40):
I want to put new eyes on the needs of
Douglas County. The second thing I want to do is
I want to get that Juvi Justice Center up and running.
One way or another, whether we are we're having kids there,
or whether we lease out that's to the FEDS or
(28:03):
maybe the state. The Feds you'll get more money. But
this is a great injustice to the Douglas County taxpayer
for you to just you spend this money, you build
this big building, you build this facility, and then you
don't do anything with it. And then the other thing
(28:25):
that I've seen in my research, and I've done tons
of it. You don't mean, Scott, I'm a research maniac NonStop.
So when they came up with their budget to build
this JUV Justice Center. They came up with a budget
to build it so that they could, at least the
way I look at it, so they could sell it
to you the public. They didn't budget to operate it.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
We are going to We're going to do two things here.
I'm going to actually take our quarter hour break as
opposed to last hour. And I got to get to
disclaimer number two as we talk more now with Chris Baker,
who just announced his run for Douglas County Board here
on eleven ten KFAB one more segment with Chris. Next,
Scott voices our guests in the studio. Chris Baker, Chris
(29:15):
former host here on KFAB, just a moment ago, announced
he's running for Douglas County Board. Disclaimer number two. You
and I have been friends since we were both little fetuses. Yes,
and I'm proud to say we're still friends today. That said,
when we have politicians, which you now are, thank you
here on the studio. We have good conversations, we have
(29:37):
fun conversations, but I don't look good in the cheerleader's outfit.
I don't root for anybody you're running against Mary Ann Borgson,
she's been there for a long time. I've had pointed
things to say about her. I've invited her on the program.
She's always welcome here. You're also running in a field
that has Colleen Brennan, who I'm also proud to call
a friend. She's been on before, and she's already car
(30:00):
out of time to be on next Tuesday. And I'm
not going to have the two of you guys on
every single week. Hey, hey, she was on. I'm just good.
You know, there's a lot to talk about in this race.
So why is it that, I mean, you already went
through some of the reasons you want to run on
the Douglas County Board. For a lot of people, though,
they say, look, what are you guys going to do
(30:20):
to bring down my property taxes? What is the function
of the board and what do you see as an
ability to do that and take it easy on taxpayers
if you are a member of this commission.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Well, the board is not necessarily controlling your taxes. They
do levies and that kind of stuff. Now, I'm not
going to try to make a bunch of promises. All
I'm going to make every day is going to be
seventy two and sunny. And I'm also going to try
not to ever use the word fight. Okay, But what
(30:52):
I believe that I can do is I can bring
a new vision to the county board. And I love
talking about things that areible. The Juvi Justice Center was
designed and built by Mariann Borgenson was in charge of
it with through a nonprofit, and also the Sherwood Foundation
(31:13):
was part of it. The Sherwood Foundation got a bunch
of press because they pledged ten million bucks. Okay, and
guess what they never gave it. They never gave you
the money. It was five million for the magic programs,
which to their credit, they have spent on magic programs.
But the five million for construction, they just never never
(31:37):
gave it to them, right, And they said, well, we're
not because it's not opening. Well, if you gave them
the five mil, they could open.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
They also did some really interesting things the commissioners with
COVID money, they started giving them out to pet project
local nonprofits. There was a dollhouse museum in northeast Omaha
that received a bunch of money. This at a time
now when Mary Ewing is like, hey, does anyone have
canned food? People need food in this community. Snap benefits
are apparently on the shelf right now. During the government shutdown,
(32:14):
Sheriff Aaron Hanson has said, this board needs to re
engage with immigration Customs Enforcement to allow them to detain
those criminal illegal immigrants and get paid by the federal
government to do so. Yes, they had done so until
September of twenty twenty one. Now they don't, and they
just voted that they're not going to do it anymore.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Well, and let's look at the reason that they voted now,
and this also has been a big pet peeve of mine,
is that people get elected and then they forget that
they're elected to govern and not rule. So I read
a lot of the comments from the board and it was, well,
we don't believe in repers, you know, arresting our neighbors,
(32:55):
and we believe the best path forward is to push
for comp frehensive immigration reform, which in reality is just
a blanket amnesty. But also that's four years down the road.
You're not going to get that now. You're not going
to get that during this administration. And you're a county
board member. Your job is not to manage the immigration.
(33:19):
Your job is to, uh make sure that the taxpayer
of Douglas County gets their money's worth, that offices like
the sheriff are are funded to the level they need
to be funded. And I believe that. Why would I
go in there and do something? First of all, it'd
(33:39):
be a different perspective.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Well, I want to answer that here with one minute
to go with Chris Baker.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Here, kid me, this is how, this is how it goes.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Dude, you've never done this before, so you got a
minute here to respond to people to say, like, all right,
you're talking. You don't talk like a politician, and you've
got a lot of history and social media posts that
will come back and in this campaign tell people why
they should consider you for Douglas County Board and where
they can go for more information.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
All right. The Chris Baker website Chris Baker for Douglas
Coounty Board dot com is the website and it is
under construction. I had a little bank problem, you know what, unbelievable, Scott,
a technological problem. But I got that figured out. So
we'll have it all finished up very soon anyway, probably
later today. But why me? Because I know more about
(34:29):
illegal immigration than anybody in this town. You know that?
All right? I can talk about it. Second of all,
I believe that those people are humans, and my entire
radio career I've said that, and I've talked about the abuses,
I've talked about the horrible things they go through. But
in reality, what I believe is that the Douglas County
taxpayer needs a voice in that boardroom and needs a
(34:54):
voice on those County Board votes. And you know, the
members of the County Board are not stupid, they're not
bad people. They're they're accomplished people. I believe I can
work with them to serve the Douglas County Board.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
We will have more members, yes, the people of Douglas County.
We will have more conversation. And I'm sorry to cut
you off, but Chris, it's.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
I haven't even tweeted and I'm already getting bounced.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Good to have you back here, if only for an hour.
