From OnlyFans to Rocket Man...

As usual, we covered (or "uncovered") it all today!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And I know I get your messages when you say, Scott,
you're just talking there and ignoring Jim Rose. And you
think that Jim's just sitting there patiently waiting for his
turn to talk. But in that opening segment, Jim is
very busy preparing his sports update was just a few
minutes away, and he didn't want to talk to us. Well,
he's dope. But now part of the reason this morning
is because you want to do You got stranded on

(00:22):
the side of the road this morning.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Yeah, yeah, you're coming in a little hot normally a
reliable vehicle. Decided, you know what I'm done today, I'm
shutting her down. So I got caught on the highway
and thankfully I was close enough to home to call
the boss and she came got me and then off
to KFIB I went. So my schedule was delayed about
a half an hour, which and I was lucky.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
I mean, it could have been a lot worse.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
And as one of two billion global Christians, this is
the most solemn day of the year. I look at
it this way. Jesus Christ had it a lot worse
on Good Friday than I did, So no big deal
that this is.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
A nice and also ridiculous perspective, but accurate. How I
fly asinine, but accurate. So you called your wife and said, honey,
can you come pick me up on the side of
the road pretty much? Did you think about hitch hiking
and showing a little leg?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Well, but it was dark, and so yes, I have
no problem demonstrating sex appeal to get where I need
to go, and it's been very fruitfully successful for me
down through the years. But in this case, because you
got your job here, pretty much, I've slept my way
to the top. Lucy, come back, don't leave. So I

(01:31):
was really lucky. Actually that was pretty close to it.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
It was dark, but as as pale as you are,
your thigh would have cut right through the darkness.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Exactly what are you accusing me of being, mister out
of bound steak in itself?

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yeah, that is the the very very pale pot calling
another pale pot. Pale right, that's what that is. So
Pam Bondi's out.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah, the President got tired of Pam Bondy, pretty upset
about how she handled the Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Well, that's not what he's said. Well, that's not what
he said. It's interesting, President Trump has no problem leveling
accusations and insults at everybody. So he forces Pam Bondy
out as Attorney General and says, we love Pam. She's
transitioning to a very important new job in the private sector.
Is What's what he said about Christy Nomes. And they're

(02:22):
both out.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Right person from what I gathered with if you start
connecting all of the dots, a couple of things about
Pamela Bondi. Number one, it's hard working for Trump. Number two,
she she really started to irritate a lot of House
Republicans and Capitol Hill Republicans with her very defiant testimonies
before those committees. You'll recall she referred to Jamie Raskin

(02:47):
as an old, washed up loser, even though he's a Democrat,
and he might be those things, but you can't say that.
Not happy that James call me is not behind bars yet.
Not happy about the Epstein. Remember she said, I've got
evidence on my desk right now that's going to blow
the top off of this or something like that. President

(03:07):
didn't like that. It's a very month Well no, yeah,
it was right after he took the oath of office
a little over a year ago fourteen months that she
was on the job. It's hard working for Donald Trump. Yeah,
it's probably This guy is mere curial. So you do
your job. You do it the best way you can.
You make sure you don't steal the spotlight. See Christinome

(03:30):
give him all the credit in the world. When the
cabinet meetings are tele debiased, you tell him how great
he is. That's how you keep your job in a
Trump white House. The thing about Attorney General Secretary of
Justice is that you really need somebody who can say
to the President, no, we can't do that, and he
doesn't want to hear that from anybody. Well, they had
just gone, the President and the ag to the Supreme

(03:50):
Court to go stare at the justices. Well, they argued
birthright citizenship the other day, and then I guess it
was that night before the President addressed the nation Wednesday
night about I run. He says, by the way, Pam,
thanks for hanging out with me. You're done. He got
a new job for you. You're pregnant.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Can't do the news, referenced Anchorman. He quotes movies more
than I You've got knocked up, Kenny to the news,
to the news now now the eleven to ten KFAB
Certified Transmission Sports Brief. Here's Jim Rose. Okay, thanks God Crane.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Blue Jays to win last night the Crown Invitational looked
really good. If they had just played this well all season,
they'd probably still be playing in the NCAA tournament. Especially
Nick Graves, who is one of their outstanding transfers who's
played pretty good this year. But he played really well
last night. He scored twenty eight points and actually distributed
eight assists. He scored twenty five in the second half.

(04:43):
So the Jays get the win in this play to
pay and pay to play tournament. Having a great time.
We have to fight for our right to party, he
says Mac.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Like I told the guys when we decided to do this,
we're gonna have some fun with this. So, you know,
we we've did a lot of workouts, we had a
few practices, but we wanted them to enjoy this experience.
And you know, we're gonna be around for the weekend
now at least for a couple more days, so we're
gonna have fun together. This has been a very enjoyable
group to coach.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
And the enjoy continues as they play West Virginia tomorrow
afternoon in the second round of the Crown Invitational. Major
League Baseball yesterday afternoon and last night Thursday night don't
have a lot of games. Minnesota Twins got off the
Schneid defeated the Royals five to one, thus salvage one
of the games there. Toronto at the White Sox postponed

(05:30):
in the National League, Atlanta seventeen, Arizona two, San Francisco seven,
and the Mets to Omaha Stormchasers went over Buffalo nine
to seven. UNO Baseball and its series that South Dakota
State is out this weekend because of bad weather up there.
They don't anticipate any decent weather, so there will not
be a series between the Mvs and the Jacks this weekend.

(05:54):
They have not yet announced plans to replay the series.
The will at some point. Creighton opened up its series
at Yukon with a win three to one. They'll play
today and tomorrow and get Easter Sunday off. The Huskers
are bringing in Penn State for the weekend. Penn State's
the worst team in the Big Ten conference. They are
eight and eighteen. They have the worst ERA in the
Big Ten, and they are two hundred and forty eighth

(06:15):
in runs of scored, so this should be easy for
Nebraska baseball this season. Petra Bozon, who is one of
Nebraska's women's basketball players, really one of the better ones,
has decided to add to the portal six foot three
inch center average six points, three and a half rebounds.
Sports is News on Nebraska's news weathern Traffick station. Final

(06:36):
four tomorrow from Indianapolis. The games are in prime time,
so you can get all your work done and then play,
you know, mister basketball fan in front of the TV.
The women's Final four starts tonight. We'll talk about that
in about half an hour. Okay, fab newstime in the morning,
six twenty five. I'm in for watching basketball tomorrow night. Lucy,
would you take one of these moon missions?

Speaker 1 (06:57):
And I say that knowing that you would probably rat
there be anywhere than listening to Jim and I laugh
about things like blazing Saddles and Anchorman and sports. But
if they said we want to have the first radio
personality go into space, would you allow yourself to be
jettisoned into space here in this Artemis mission?

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Who's with me? And I understand it's a very small space.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
It's a McDonald's menu full of We got to have
someone who looks like this, and someone who looks like that,
and someone who has this kind of gender and someone
who has that. We got the whole spectrum there.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
I'm gonna go with the Now.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
What you don't like hanging out with Asian people?

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Stop that? No, I wanted specific names. I don't want
to be random.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
What if it's just you, just a chance just to
get away?

Speaker 5 (07:53):
My first reaction is absolutely not. But then I think,
you know what, hold one, no noise, no yaborn?

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah, no yaborn. I would I would go because I
put on a little weight here the last couple of years,
and I'm gonna put on more in the next couple
of years. So the opportunity to be weightless, Oh.

Speaker 5 (08:15):
Well, not only weightless, you'll probably lose weight. You've probably
come back skinny.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah, i'd be up there going. They didn't put any
McNuggets in this bag. No Krispy Cream donuts? Am I
supposed to?

Speaker 3 (08:29):
No?

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah? I made it.

Speaker 6 (08:32):
Go.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
You got tang and freeze dried ice cream.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
And if you got tang and dippin' dots, then how
bad can it be? Toilet doesn't work. That's all right.
I wasn't going to eat any of this stuff anyway.
I made that crack here about oh we're gonna have someone, Well,
it's because NASA, and that's that. Look, that's great. I

(08:55):
understand as much as I can as a privilege, just
straight white Christian male. I understand as much as I
can that there are people alive today who never thought
when they saw the Moon missions, the Apollo missions, which
is just like, all right, we're gonna send a bunch
of white guys into space. Throughout the sixties and into

(09:18):
the seventies, I understand that there are people alive who
never thought that they would see people who look like them,
people of color, people of femininity, who would be also
into space. But let's break this down a little further,
and let's just be honest here, right, the majority of
those people are old enough that they've seen a number
of things happen, whether it's law enforcement or the president

(09:42):
of the United States. So the Titans of industry, Lucy's
throwing stuff around. She's mad hearing about all this stuff.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
I know.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
I'm sorry I mentioned President Obamas. You didn't like him,
like Dann It so there are people who, yes, never
thought that they would see these things, but they've seen
them every week in different ways. So it's like, and
now we've got the first person in it, Like, I

(10:09):
don't know that it still has the same luster. But again,
what do I know. I'm a very very pasty, white Christian,
straight male, so I don't know anything. And I get it.
I get it. But at the same time, let's say
you are old enough that you're there. It's nineteen seventy one,
we went through the civil rights movement, but it maybe

(10:30):
doesn't feel like that to you. And then you're like,
you know what, I've always wanted to be an astronaut,
but I don't think i'd ever get there or any
member of my family because they keep throwing white guys
into space. If that's how you felt at the time,
wasn't the kind of great that they were taking white
people and throwing them into space. If you don't like

(10:51):
people of a certain hue or whatever, the fact that
they were jettisoned into space, it's probably a good comfort
to you. I don't like white people, Hey, they just
they just sent more. We're not sure these white people
are gonna make it back. Good and where are they
right now? They're surrounded by black in outer space. That's

(11:12):
got a f I mean, Ernie Chambers is like, you
know what, that's a dream come true. Let me know
when I say the wrong thing, let me know what.
I don't think I've said anything wrong. So NASA is
up there saying we've made history, the first black person,
the first woman, and the first non US citizen to

(11:33):
launch the moon Man. Trump's deportation rules are going crazy.
Now this is a Canadian. Yeah. Still, so they said,
trust us, you look amazing, you look beautiful, and from
from up here, you also look like one thing, Homo sapiens. Sorry,
they didn't send any of the it's sapiens as all

(11:56):
of us, no matter who you are or where you
what you like, we're all one people. That's what NASA said.
President Trump's like, I thought we got rid of all
that DEI stuff. Hey, you know what I am. I
imagine that the commander and the pilot and the other
two and crew members there on Artemis two, that they

(12:19):
got to this opportunity because they earned it. I imagine
every single one of them got there because they earned it.
And I wouldn't want to be told like, yeah, you
did a fine job. Also, you're black and that's why
you're up here, like woll woa, whoa, whoa, it's twenty
twenty six. I wanted the opportunity to earn it. My
entire life is I've been about earning it and been

(12:39):
given opportunities that maybe my father and grandfather didn't get.
I know, isn't that great? Also, you're black, and we
needed to send someone up here who was playing you know,
I don't think that that really came into play here.
We're going to talk to Nebraska's hometown spaceman Clay Anderson
about the significance of why we're taking a lap here

(13:01):
around the moon that's coming up at seven thirty five
this morning. So NASA says, ladies and gentlemen, I am
so excited to be able to tell you that, for
the first time since nineteen seventy two, that was Apollo seventeen,
human beings.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Have left Earth's orbit. The cool deal, right, very cool.
I'd go up there, would you? They said, Rosie, you're
on I go.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
I'm there. What do I need to do? New poll
right now at kfab dot com. Would you like to
jettison Jim Rose? Into space, yes or no? Right there,
you're the one that gets the hateful mail, not me.
I'm very selective on what I send to you because
your ego is very very fragile. Yes, right, that's right.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah, after going beat up for forty five years, it's
very very fragile.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
I'm one step from the edge. I think you'd have
to go, right if they gave you the opportunity. What
are somebody has to go into space as immortal? Oh
heck yuess. I mean. Being in radio, we occasionally get
asked to do some pretty weird things. I've done some
dumb stuff. I repelled down the side of the Woodman
Tower years ago when they did that, and then I

(14:11):
jumped out of an airplane a few years after that,
and it was for skydiving purposes. And I don't know
that I would ever do either of those things again. See,
there's the thing about that once in a lifetime experience.
It's just something you do one time. But if they said, like,
all right, we had a deal in there and we'd
put all the names in a hat and you're going

(14:32):
to go up into space, I think you'd have to.
But at the same time, I don't know that I'd
want to.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Well, I don't know that I want to, but if
they said if I had a chance to, I'd be
all over that. How many people in the human race
have ever gone to the moon twenty maybe between the
Russians and the Americans twenty Okay, the chance to be
one of twenty five people to ever go into space
and step on the moon, you gotta do it, I

(14:59):
just think.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
And for the other people of the crew, I would
feel like I would not be helpful. I would be
in the way. I'd probably get sick. I can't even
handle a whale watching tour and they're going to send
me into space and zero gravity. I just think I'd
be more of a hindrance than help But I suppose
that argument could be made for my presence here on
kfab and anyway, So yeah, tell me what times between

(15:25):
six six and nine and I'm on until ten. Thanks
for listening. We have a few teachers Lucy in some
trouble here across the area. One, as Craig Evans mentioned
a few times, is a vocal music teacher currently at
Bellevue East. He's been at other schools including and I'm

(15:48):
saying this full disclosure. He taught my daughter coming up
through choir at Burke, and she and her friends in
who came up to that to Park love this guy
and are very dismayed to hear the charges against him.
They're serious charges. They're federal charges having to do with

(16:09):
pornography of a minor child found on his personal devices.
I hope that there's a an explanation, and hey, I
didn't know, and I I know that I know that
his students are dismayed by this. So there's there's that,

(16:34):
and then there's a weird story out of Council Bluffs.
This is a full time para educator who is at
Lewis Central. She's now been fired. And the accusation is
is that this past October, as students are being dismissed
at the end of the day, they're at Lewis Central.

(16:56):
I presume high school, No, not high schools middle school,
So at the school is being dismissed for the day.
She's at Lewis Central Middle School. She's working there that
day and she, while using her phone, according to the
story here from KMA, allegedly pulled up nude photos of
men that she was checking out on the subscription only

(17:17):
Fans website, which, as it says here only Fans a
social media platform, is commonly used to share adult content,
and based on my proud to say cursory knowledge of
the website, I don't know that it's used for any
other reason.

Speaker 4 (17:35):
There are some things on there that are not adult content.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
What do you do on there?

Speaker 4 (17:41):
I've never been there?

Speaker 1 (17:44):
How do you know?

Speaker 5 (17:46):
I've seen stories on other talk shows, other YouTube channels.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
What's the what's the side again, only fans? How does
that spell? It's only fans FA and Z or No,
It's it's spelled the way it's it should be one
word though, only thank you. Yeah. I was once driving
around Omaha and you're only fans at the time, and

(18:12):
I was, yeah, I was. That's my only found only
fan subscription. It's just hey, if you can't get enough
of me yammering on and on throughout the morning, you
should hear what I say when I'm just alone in
my car. So I just video stream that.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
And that's the kind of stuff that you will also
find on own.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
I imagine, I imagine that's true.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Or check me out on OnlyFans dot com and enjoy
the show.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Yeah, yeah, some people I'm sure have cooking demonstrations and
things on there and said subscription. Yeah, other people do
any number of naked things on there. So I'm driving
around and someone has got like this little handmade sign
that they put in their back window promoting her only
Fans account. So I shook my head and said, this

(18:55):
is just so awful. It's come to this. People are
are pimping themselves. And I did what any other man
would do. I drove up alongside the car to see
what she looked like, hard pass both the car and
the driver. So this teacher apparently she I don't know

(19:16):
that she's the one who has her own account, but
she apparently patronizes several OnlyFans account of men.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
Well that's not illegal, it's not.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
So she pulls up photos of the men and as
it turns out, what do you know, they're all naked.
And so now she decides to show her fellow teachers,
Hey check this out. Look at this. You ever see
something like this before? And one of the teachers was
not all that impressed, went to the principal. The principal
comes to the mark this teacher I know, and the

(19:48):
teacher essentially said the same thing like well, I guess
you just don't know who you can trust. Now, I
could tell on others, but I'm not gonna do that.
I'm not no snitch. As Thunder Collins once famously shouted
out in the local court house former Husker running back,
I'm not no snitch. Yeah. Apparently she's suggesting all the
teachers are just walking around the school going, hey, look

(20:09):
at this, look at this. You'll ever see one of
these before, And she's like, well, I guess you just
don't know who you can trust. Uh, here's here's a
good guide for you. Unless someone comes up and says,
excuse me, did you have a good day of school today? Yeah?
How are the students? They treat you well? Yeah, they
treated me very well. Great. What are you doing this weekend?

Speaker 3 (20:28):
Well?

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Am I watching some basketball?

Speaker 6 (20:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yeah, Rain should move out. By the way, you got
any naked pictures on your phone? I could see. Probably
don't volunteer to show naked pictures of people to other
people you barely know on your phone, especially in a
professional environment or even a school. So she's been fired.

Speaker 4 (20:47):
She got fired for fus Yeah, she got fired.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Yeah, you can't just show a bunch of step at
this I don't think she was standing in the cafeteria
holding her phone up to make sure all the kindergarteners
can see.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Yeah, what was going on? No?

Speaker 6 (21:04):
You here?

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yeah, I said I needed to know what exactly.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
What I said. And you're picturing her as the statue
of liberty rather than a charge. She's holding enough, but
a giant flat size TV screen showing kiddergardeners where you
hired your huddled perverts.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
We're all here together in the cafeteria Lewis Central.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
If she did that, I could see getting fired.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
That would do it, but not just hey, she don't
look at this. Yeah, I mean to other adults.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
It's stupid. She shouldn't do it. Yeah, there'll be a moron.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
I could I could see that, and the principal goes, good. Hey,
And now I understand if a principal came to her
and said, what are you thinking you're doing? Oh, I
don't know. I just thought it was kind of funny. Okay,
don't do that, all right? Sorry. But the chances are
if this person got fired for this, it is maybe
because she shows other lack of judgment in the rest
of her professional life, and this was given as an

(21:59):
opportunity to fix the glitch.

Speaker 4 (22:02):
That's fair.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
I know it's hacked, but I love this song and
I love our next guest here on news radio eleven
ten kfab's Nebraska's Rocket Man now joining Nebraska's Morning News
with Jim Rose, Lucy Chapman, Me, Scott Vorhees. It's Clay
Anderson Clayton.

Speaker 6 (22:23):
Good morning, Hey, how you guys doing.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
All is well? How does how does it look from
your vantage point? You're up there on Artemis too, right,
that's why we have you on.

Speaker 6 (22:34):
Oh good god, I wish I'm so envious.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
She can't even imagine you are, aren't you. You're very
jealous that these guys get to be up there, But
you know you've you've been up there, not quite as
far away as as they are. What's it like to
break free from the Earth's atmosphere and look back and say,
I think I see my house from here.

Speaker 6 (22:58):
Well, I never lived in Alaska, but it's an amazing
opportunity to see our planet, you know, And from the
space station, which is only two hundred and forty miles away,
you could see about a quarter of the Earth's surface.
Maybe you had a good vantage point, but these guys.
I mean when they did their first elliptical orbit around

(23:19):
the Earth, they were forty four thousand miles away, and
now they're on their journey to two hundred and thirty
eight thousand miles away. You know, that's just incredible to me.
And as they're flying today on their way to the Moon,
they're seeing the Moon get bigger and the Earth gets smaller.
I can't even imagine how cool that would be.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
It's been since nineteen seventy two, that was Apollo seventeen,
and I have yet to see that movie. I've only
watched up to thirteen. But for the first time since
Apollo seventeen and nineteen seventy two, this human beings have
not been this far away from the or even left
the Earth's orbit. So they're going to take a lot

(24:00):
up around the moon clade. What do you see as
the significance of this crude mission to the Moon and back.

Speaker 6 (24:09):
Well, it's important that everybody understand this is a test flight.
So what they're doing. Ever since they lifted off, they've
been testing and checking systems excuse me, to make sure
everything functions. And it's the first time humans have been
on board this spacecraft and the spacecraft is going to
be needed again to go on the other missions. So

(24:29):
testing your toilet which broken has been fixed, testing your
oxygen system, your pressure system, your propulsion system, all those
things give you good confidence as these guys go to
the Moon that they'll be able to repeat it and
do it again with Artemis three and Artemis four. So
as they go on this trajectory now to take them

(24:52):
to the moon and sling them around the back side,
they're doing testing all the time of exercise, equipment, whatever's there.
And the closer they get to the they're gonna pull out,
you know, modern technology cameras and videos, and they're gonna
get pictures I hope that we haven't ever gotten in
that amount of quality before. So it's data driven. Once

(25:13):
they get to the moon, they're gonna be looking, they're
gonna be checking, they're gonna be video and photography, and
it should be very exciting for them.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
So when they're training you to go up into space,
they put you through basically industrial arts training. They teach
you how basic plumbing, how to drywall, hang drywall, maybe
some light masonry here and there, light electrical. How much
of this training do you have to do before they
let you go up there.

Speaker 6 (25:41):
You do a ton. You know every system that's on
board the space station. It is. It's exactly like your house.
Maybe not drywall and stuff, but you're certainly aware of
how your HVAC system works, and how your toilet works,
and how the electrical works. Because between you and the

(26:03):
other crew members in the ground, you're all you have
to troubleshoot and figure things out. And if you think
about going to Mars now and being on a six
to nine month journey with a forty minute round trip
delay for messages, you're really gonna be on your own.
So they're gonna look to video technology and can I
watch you do it yourself video on YouTube? You know

(26:25):
that tells me how to fix this. It's gonna be
a different world.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
Yeah, While we had the crew there from Houston talking
to the guys, there are artemis too about how to
fix that toilet and play jiggle it, just jiggle the
handle and fix it up here. So play Anderson with
us on news radio eleven ten kfab when you go

(26:50):
up on a mission like this. Obviously, there have been
some missions on various flights that have not gone smoothly,
and some have been tragic. So when you get the
news like, all right, we Houston, we have a problem.
The toilet's broken. I mean, that's probably about one of
the better things that can happen, But at the same
time it's a problem. So how much are these guys

(27:14):
thinking like, Okay, what else could possibly go wrong? And
what level once you get up there, what level are
you just resigned to the fact that, well, we're kind
of at the mercy of a billion different things that
could go wrong and we just have to deal with it.

Speaker 6 (27:32):
Well, I think that they have the attitude that they
can deal with anything, especially given the fact that they
have a reasonable ability to communicate with the Mission Control
Center team. So I think they look they're optimistic about everything.
When something breaks, they.

Speaker 7 (27:48):
Deal with it.

Speaker 6 (27:50):
There will be issues all along the way. We hope
they're all minor and things that can be taken care
of by the crew with the tools that they have
on board. But then if something big happens, that's what
you worry about, and we don't want to see that,
So we're not going to talk about that anymore.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
And finally, Clay, for those who are sitting back your
arms folded on Earth, going this is a billions and
billions of dollars on this. For these guys to go
up there and just kind of fly around the moon.
This is a waste of money. What do you say
about that? Because I'm sure during your time with NASA
you've heard that criticism.

Speaker 6 (28:25):
I'd say go to the website spinoffs dot gov, and
I'd say send all your whining and complaining and your
moon bat stuff on your cell phone to your friends
around the world, because that cell phone was developed because
of spaceflight innovations. So anybody that whinds about we're wasting

(28:46):
money in space, it's not about where we're going. It's
about the technology development that happens as we challenge ourselves
to go to these places. So there's artificials, pigs for
pig farmers in Iowa, Nebraska, the athletics shoes Air Jordan's
came from moonboot technology. Your cell phone comes from space technology.

(29:09):
The Valmont Center pivot irrigation system is born in part
because of space technology. So all of this is an investment.
And if we look back at Apollo, people will tell
you we invested for every dollar that the taxpayer invested,
we got a seven to twenty dollars return on that investment.

(29:29):
So let's take the low one. Who would not take
seven to one? And so I'm hoping that the return
on investment for these missions will be even better.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
You've been up there. At what point in the atmosphere
do moonbats run out of oxygen? Thank you for listening, Clay,
and I heard you all with Chris the other day.
Always a pleasure talking with you. But Clay Anderson is mine.
He's KFAB. He's been a host on this station.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Clay Laker has no access to this as he's mine.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
He's got to go. He's also shared with Fox this week.
We'll look up at the TV and like, who's that
handsome guy? Oh my gosh, it's Clay Anderson. Thanks Clay,
appreciate them yum, Thank you very much. Clay Anderson here
Nebraska's astronaut on Nebraska's Morning News. You can email anytime

(30:26):
via the Zonker's custom was inbox Scott at kfab dot com.
This email on sign says when the crew of the
Artemis gets back, will they be considered real astronauts like
Katie Perry. Thank you for that email. You can send
your message in as well to Scott at kfab dot com.

(30:46):
I'm just now realizing double check my phone, Jim, I
didn't get a text back from our good friend JFK.
Jane Fleming Kleb, head of the Nebraska Democratic Party. I
texted her last night, said, Hey, you want to join
me on the radio sometime tomorrow morning to talk about
long time staunch Nebraska Democrat William Forbes in the upcoming primary.

(31:09):
Have you been following this at all?

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Yeah, I don't know much about this guy. I was
pretty prideful that I was on top of the Nebraska
political spectrum for a long time. I've never heard of
this guy.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
No one really has. But a few people be.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
A puppet of Pete Ricketts maybe, but I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
I don't know well he according to CNN because they
I don't know if they had an interview with him
or they just kind of reported on this. I'm not
exactly sure, but they said Forbes is registered Democrat from Paxton, Nebraska.
That's God's country, that's out there. But he also is

(31:51):
anti abortion, which is going to put him in opposition
to what is apparently the stance of the Democratic Party
these days. You can't be an anti abortion pastor so
he's pro life. He is a church leader, and he
also attended a leadership training session this past January organized

(32:12):
by a group called the Leadership Institute, which CNN says
is a right leaning organization based in Virginia that trains Republicans.
They say, no, we train anyone who signs up. But
he also and this is probably the deal breaker for
anyone thinking about voting for William Forbes in the upcoming

(32:33):
Nebraska Democratic primary for US Senate. He tells CNN, Oh, yeah,
I voted for Trump and all the most previous elections,
all these elections, voted for Trump three times. So again
I throw the question back at you. Here, is this
a Pete Ricketts dirty tricks plant to try and draw

(32:54):
attention away from Dan Osborne, who's going to be on
the ballot in November. But if it's just Ricketts and Osbourne,
then Ricketts doesn't stand as good of a chance of
being re elected as if it's Ricketts and Osbourne and
then whoever emerges from the Democratic primary. But Pete Ricketts
wouldn't have to do this because there's a person named

(33:17):
Cindy Burbank. Cindy Burbank is on the Democratic side, of
the ticket. So it's either going to be she or
William Forbes who end up going and being on the
ballot in November. And if this guy is a pro
life pastor who votes for Trump, then you would say, well,
he'd probably siphon more votes away from Pete Ricketts. But

(33:41):
then you'd have to assume that voters have been paying
enough attention to not just see a D by the
guy's name and vote for that Democrat.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
I don't believe that this is a Pete Ricketts operation.
I think that Pete will do about anything to win
the race, but I don't think he needs to do
this to win the race. He's dealing with a very
very strong Republican voter advantage in the state. That doesn't
mean that a Republican can't lose, but it means that

(34:10):
if he is able to convey the message of what
we're doing on Capitol Hill that is better for you
than this, then he'll get enough people to push this
thing across the goal line. That said, I have not
seen legitimate internal polling. I hear from people who say
this is a very close race. We hear that from

(34:31):
the Dan Osborne Campbell, but I've heard it from some
Republicans too. Now they are not the poster, but they
have heard that this is a much closer race than
people think. Because Nebraskans are largely which you would consider
not traditional Republican voters, but they are populist Republican voters,

(34:53):
they have a tendency once in a while to say,
all right, that's it. I'm throwing them all out. Whether
it's a good idea or not, we still do it.
I don't know that that's the case in Greater Nebraska,
not with Pete Ricketts yet, as he's a lot of elections. Yeah,
but he has a lot of connections. He knows where
the voters are, he knows how to get them to

(35:14):
the poll. I don't think this is his operation, but
it might be. He's a billionaire. Losing this race would
be the worst thing that ever happened in his life,
and I don't know that that's true.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Would be among them politically.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Yeah, and he's led a charmed life, but he's a
hard working guy. I don't agree with everything Pete did
as governor, but he's hard working. He's a policy guy,
and he's a very traditional, staunch Republican conservative at the best.
That doesn't mean they get everything they want, but he's
closer than most.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
What is this?

Speaker 2 (35:51):
This is goofy political stuff in an off presidential year
when Democrats are embolded because Trump's not on the ballot.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Between that and this mailer that's gone out from a
Republican pack that has John Cavanaugh praising Donald Trump with
the picture of their faces. Kavanaugh's the Democrat who would be, presumably,
should everything go their way, taking on Brinker Herding for
the Don Bacon second congressional district seat. Well, Kavanaugh did
say he thought that Trump was right on not taxing

(36:18):
tips in overtime, so they just to put his face
next to Trump. Said, even John Cavanaugh likes Donald Trump,
and I have to say its not happy about that
he's having a news conference this morning. I don't like Trump. Yeah,
we know, John.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Yeah, I will say this. Denise Powell's ads are bad.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Oh we haven't talked about that yet.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
She's about to screw herself out of the opportunity to
win this.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
Why you can't say I'm a pissed off mom. Okay,
so you just said it, and you cuss all the
time on this program, so you don't like it, Yes,
you do. I bet you do right now.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
No, I don't.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
I just tell it like it is. Well, that's what
she says she's doing.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
But that's not the way you win voters, because most
moms are just so you know most another.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
A lot of them beat they can be at their kids. Yeah,
a lot of moms got ticked a few years ago,
but that was in COVID and that moved them further
to the right. We got to get to Greg Wagner
and then the Rosie de Genozia is coming up after traffic,
weather and a news update. Don't wave me off, I
see you over there here on eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 7 (37:19):
A new study says that if you want to keep
your food safe from seagulls at the beach, might try
staring back at them. Researchers affixed a pair of toy
googly eyes to plain boxes of food and found that
it kept the foraging birds away about fifty percent of
the time. I'm Craig Evans more News at the top
of the hour at news Radio eleven TENAB.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
Now see there's something we can talk about here with
Greg Wagner from Nebraska Game in Parks, Because once in
a while I see seagulls here in Omaha. Don't booms
with a cut green boy boomis and with a cut
with the Countrea, don't I Greg Wagner from Nebraska Game
and Parks.

Speaker 8 (37:58):
Yeah, we rebuild goals, Franklin's goals. Everybody calls them seagulls.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
Yeah, when is hunting season for those seagulls? Only with the.

Speaker 8 (38:05):
Camera and you can steer them down evidently. Yeah, I
haven't had success with that.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
But I've had my food taken from me in California
by those seagulls. They, Oh my gosh, they're resourceful. This
thing was stupid. Is in a box, The box was closed,
they got all the food out of there. Cheese to
turn my head for one second? All right, what if
I wanted to have some mushrooms? Well, we're on the
morell mushroom watch. I have my avid old timers out looking.

(38:36):
Nothing to report yet, but we're on it. I think
we get some warm weather on Wednesday, as you mentioned,
the latter part of next week, we get get some
more rain. If we can look out for morell mushrooms.
I think that will probably be the start of it. Yeah.
Every time it warmed up, then they get really cold again,
so I think a lot of the flowers, the buds,

(38:57):
the mushrooms are all What about fishing here this weekend, Well, this.

Speaker 8 (39:02):
Is walleye weather, That's what I call it. The walleye
spawn is on along the reservoir dams here in Nebraska.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
So a lot of people are.

Speaker 8 (39:11):
In their boats trolling along the dam where they're in
the rocks along the dam. The walleye spawn is on.
People throwing crank baits, jigs, stuff like that. Make sure
you know your limits.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
You like that. Yeah, you should have told tiger that,
but we didn't. That's all right, Well said know your
limits if you're going for walleye yep. Yeah. Speaking of
people have had too much drink. What about wild turkey.
It's not just a beverage tiger, not a tiger thing,
no alcohol in the system. But what about spring? Wild
turkey hunting seasons.

Speaker 8 (39:42):
Open now, and you know, you just you hunt parts
of the days that are going to be less windy,
hopefully some sunshine. That's going to be your best bet
when you're out turkey hunting. Birch are still kind of
group back up because of the cold, windy weather, the
rain and the everything. But they're still in their breeding mode.

(40:02):
They'll be dispersing as we progress towards the youth shotgun
opener that will be April eleven.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
And what if we wanted to spend the family weekend here,
Easter weekend with the family in our state parks Sunday
doesn't look too bad.

Speaker 8 (40:16):
Playgrounds open, trails open, our campfire band has been lifted
if you want to know, and so come on out
and visit us if you want. Don't forget your park permit.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
Fantastic, Greg Wagner from Nebraska Game of Park's always a
pleasure having a wonderful Easter weekend, my friend, Thank you,
