Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Nebraska's Morning News. Really appreciate you being with
us here on this Friday morning. I am Scott Vorhie
is Craig Evans is here news updates four times an hour.
Lucy Chapman with Timesaber traffic and squinting at her phone
throughout the morning. Jim Rose is out today back on Monday.
(00:20):
Emery Songer is going to pop in here after seven
o'clock this morning for a couple of reasons. One'll always
love hanging out with Emory. Two a week from today,
Emery is going to be hosting the show with you.
Craig and Jim will be back in time for that
next week. Gary is hosting the show on Thursday next
week and then but Gary's not available and I'm not available,
(00:43):
and Emery says, I'll do it. I've never hosted the
morning show before. It's like, oh, it's super easy. You
just say traffic, weather, news is next, and you just
hit this button constantly.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Make sure you told him how to pronounce my name.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Jucy only one year, one day day year. So through
today's radio program we we obviously as always have a
lot to talk about. The goal today for the next
four hours that I get a chance to hang out
with you on the radio is to push off for
as long as possible. The story that Craig gave you
(01:20):
about the Anderson Middle School teacher who was generating nude
images of children AI style on his work computer, I
guess that was me talking about it. But some of
the details on this, and and then authorities were like
are you doing this? He's like, uh, yeah, I don't
(01:43):
know if he knew that this was against the law.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
He was making it ye ai.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah on his school computer.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
So this was not actual people. No, No, it wasn't kids.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
That's that's the thing. It's no one was involved, No
real people, no, just computer. But the law I mean,
if it's I mean, if you read the details about this,
I mean the hundreds of images what he admitted to doing,
(02:21):
they're at his school computer at school. I don't think
students were in class at the time. I mean, I
don't know if it's against the law, but this guy's creepy,
and whatever they can do to get him away from
your kid and this Millard Middle School would be fine. Weird, weird, weird,
(02:41):
That's all I want to say about that. Right now,
storms across the area last night we were covering them
here on Nebraska's News, Weather and Traffic station. We cracked
open the Pyramid Contractors Severe Weather Center. Terry Lahey was
lead anchor. I popped in a little bit. Chris Baker
Payton high Lock also a part of that coverage, as
(03:04):
well as our friends at First Alert six News. And
of course you hear about a tornado up around Little Sue,
And for those of us who've been in the area
for at least twenty years or so, we know how
awful that memory is. It was June eleventh, two thousand
(03:26):
and eight, went up about an hour hour and a
half north of Omaha. The Little Sue Scout camp tornado
occurred Juny eleventh, two thousand and eight. Four boy scouts killed.
Three thirteen year olds from Omaha, Ben, Sam and Josh
were lost that day and then a fourteen year old
(03:46):
named Aaron from Eagle Grove killed forty eight others injured.
And it was kind of late in the season, late
in the afternoon, early evening when that storm touchdown, and
just a horrible day. So yesterday we hear about a
reported tornado striking near the town. Be that as it may.
(04:08):
It's a very small little village up there, a little sue,
but we are very gracious to learn that other than
a guy's farm equipment, the tornado moved through the property.
It smashed up some like a shed and probably some
(04:28):
equipment down, some power line, scattered debris, but no injuries
and that was It only impacted Dave's farm. Sorry Dave,
but that was the best of the worst of that
scenario up there. But here we are at the precipice
of severe weather season. When that happens throughout the season,
(04:52):
join us. We'll be here with you on news radio
eleven ten kfab as. Hang on, let me check my phone.
Still no notifications. Well, it's early on day two. Lucy.
Have always kind of held out hope that my phone
would ring and it would be one of the various
National Football League teams contacting me on draft day asking
(05:17):
if I'd be interested in joining their organization, so I
would do what I would be prep Well, that that's
every year. That question is ball boy?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Do they have ball boys? I would sideline balls?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I would, well, I'm kind of the ball boy here
at KFAB. Here you go, mister Rose, here's your sports copy.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
No, what do you call the what do you call
the Is it a pitcher that can just do anything?
Isn't there something like that?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Isn't there?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Like in baseball the pitcher usually does anything by throwing
the ball towards the Are you talking about a utility player.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah, that's what you are.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah, he can do anything. He doesn't do any of
those things really well, but he is capable. Yeah that's you. Yeah, well,
you know what. It's important to have a role. But
I've always kind of hoped that my you know, a
three year letter winner football at Ralston High School? You yeah, no, yeah,
(06:12):
because when I played for Ralston, a guy like me
could be a three year letter win. How many games
did you guys win your sophomore year? Hey, that's not important.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I think it is though we.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Didn't win any That's why. That's why a guy like
me got into a lot of fourth quarters. All right,
we're down, we're down by fifty. Who wants to play?
All the other players took a big step backwards, alright
or easier in are we on offens or defense? It
doesn't matter. They're going to get the ball and score
with it anyway.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
So you didn't have a rooty moment.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Uh. Now, you know. I had one game where I
had two touchdowns called back by penalties, both penalties committed
by the same guy. I was like, why why do
you hate me? So? Yeah, that was my that was
my claim to fame.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
So you never scored a touchdown?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Then onsit in varsity?
Speaker 4 (07:13):
No, my boy, there's your sports close.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I got some I got some important first down through
some through some nice blocks.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
There's your sports report.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, here's the eleven to ten KFAB certified transmission sports free.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah. With the first pick in the NFL Draft, it
was Irving Fry Or wait, no, that was forty years ago.
Last night, with the first pick in the twenty twenty
six NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Select Bernando Minoza, quarterback.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Wait what it looks marvelous?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah, everyone knew, including Mendoza.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
The last five months has.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Been such a blessing by God and I can't think
of him enough. I'm just looking forward to get to work.
Proved at the next level. College was fantastic. I'm still
let's have that career. But now I step into a
great game of the NFL. Look forward top proving and
earning it every single day.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Yeah, Fernando Fernando Mendoz of the Heisman Trophy winning quarterback
for the national champion Indiana Hoosiers, talking about the last
five months being a blessing. You think about that five
months ago in the playoffs, people are like, is Indiana
for real? Who is this guy Fernando? And then everyone
kind of got the Abba song in their head and
(08:27):
he's really easy to cheer four. I know a lot
of people don't find the Raiders real easy to cheer four,
especially Chiefs and Broncos fans in the area. But he
was the first overall pick. Everyone kind of knew that.
Here's what happened with the next few picks. Jets take
Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey, Cardinals get Notre Dame
(08:48):
running back Jeremiah Love. Titans go with Ohio State wide
receiver Carnell Tait. He's really good. Giants take Ohio State
linebacker linebacker Rvel Reese. There's your top five. As far
as running back, it will probably be sometime tomorrow that
Huskers running back EMMITTT. Johnson is selected. Speaking of the
(09:08):
Big Red, It's Senior Day tomorrow where Nebraska sports fans,
especially softball fans, bid goodbye, not for the end of
the season, but for Senior Day in Lincoln to the
incredible pitcher Jordi Ball from Yeah, you know, I am
all Nebraska softball until I can't be anymore and we're
running out of time and that's sad.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
But until I'm.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Done with this team, in this program, like, I don't
really want to talk or even think about what comes
after that.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah. The thought was that maybe she would go pro
and play some professional softball, or maybe she'd take time off.
She is, after all, now married, may be interested in
starting a family. First things first, though, A softball double
header versus Iowa and Lincoln to day three and then
approximately five thirty senior days one o'clock tomorrow for the
NU softball team in Lincoln. Baseball on the road tonight
(09:59):

home versus Butler. If you like baseball, you got a
couple options here locally see you six o'clock first to
three for the weekend against Butler. That's tonight, and UNO
is at home versus Saint Thomas. Also it's six o'clock

the Rollers, the lot to the rav and Rudy hamersick room.
(10:22):
It's the first lines up for Rudy Go Bear in
this series and it puts the Wolves up by twenty four.
Timberwolves now lead that best of seven first round series
two to one, beating the Denver Nuggets one thirteen ninety six.
Last night, Hawks and Raptors also get win. And in
the NHL playoffs, it was Buffalo, Carolina and Colorado all
winning their games last night in the first round of
(10:44):
the Stanley Cup playoffs. And you got Nebraska's morning news
here on this Friday morning. Jim Rose lists he is
out today back Monday, Lucy Chapmans here, Craig Evans, I am,
Scott Voorhees, Emery Songer is gonna pop in at some
point in the next hour talking about the severe weather
average here on eleven ten KFAB. Last night, as we
were all watching the skies, especially Blair was getting hit
(11:07):
with hal again, Ralston getting hit with Hale again. We
got some peace sized hail throughout much of Omaha, thankfully,
nothing terribly damaging. And we had the one tornado damaged
some equipment on a guy's farm up around Little Sioux,
about an hour or so north of Omaha. But as
you heard in the Fox News update, northern Oklahoma had
(11:30):
some homes flattened, ten injured, and an air Force base damaged.
As we had tornadoes touchdown near Enid, Oklahoma. That's where
Vance Air Force Base is. And so now you can
expect to turn on the news today and see various
members of the media talking with people in Oklahoma about
(11:52):
what that tornado experience was like for them yesterday. I
can tell you what you do. You did take them
down on spark plug that in a little hole. You
just put a little around there, just like Bobby Interceptions.
I could go boom, boom, just like that. I'll tell
you what you said, Partner, I old George come in
there talking about Titan's own bourbon. Cramer comes slide and wen,
I tell you what man. Yeah. So that you're going
(12:14):
to see a lot of that on the news today
because that's what people on the coasts think people in
Oklahoma sound like, and sometimes they're right. Thankfully, no injuries
last night and not a lot of damage to Vance
Air Force Base. See, we need the air Force base
because we're battling Iran and we're losing weapons, we're losing ammunition,
(12:40):
and we lost a soldier, thankfully not killed, but a
soldier had to be taken out of action in Iran
because Lucy, he was scratched by a monkey or did
you already know? I was going to say that I did.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Not know that there were monkeys around.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Well, turns out his mission didn't get derailed by the
war necessarily, but apparently on their way to the Strait
of Hormuz, a sailor aboard the USS Chief This is
a navy mind sweeper. They got to go into the strait,
figure out where the mines are and sweep them. And
(13:24):
they stopped near the ship's homeport in Japan. They were
actually in Thailand and they had a little shore leave.
And I don't know if I can say the name
of the town in Thailand. It's spelled p h u
k e T who k who ket?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
That's what Craig in the news department all knowing Craig.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Oh, yeah, Craig's has some variation of that a lot.
Hey Craig, your computer not working? Yep? Who Ket? The
sailor and electronics technician was on a shore or leave
and ended up getting scratched by a monkey. We don't
know how he came in such close proximity with the monkey. Uh,
(14:12):
A military official says, quote, weird stuff happens. This was
definitely an unknown unknown. The monkey run in has become
a talking point among the Navy small mind sweeping community,
where they say, all right, watch out for the long
tail macaw, the common and sometimes aggressive monkeys, and the
(14:32):
tourist areas there in Pookat, Thailand.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Were they able to take him into custody the monkey?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yes, Well, I don't know that the monkey did anything
terribly wrong. I mean, you're just doing monkey stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, that's salt.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
That's a salt. Brother. They can carry diseases, including herpies.
How'd you like to tell people? Yeah, I got herpies
from a monkey.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
A monkey scratch.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah, well that's that's the story. It's herpes be and
you need immediate treatment on that. Well, I'm sure I
don't have to tell you. I'm not talking to you.
There's a guy. There's a guy. I'm not talking to you.
The guy riddled with the herp here in the studio
and we have people come in. There's bleacher sitting here
(15:18):
in the Gary Sadlemeyer studio to observe the show. And
there's one guy here who's got the herp and you
know he's nodding, Yep, you don't tell me, I got it.
I was talking to him. We're all here with you
on news radio eleven ten kfa B as some of
us were last night for a severe weather coverage. We
had a tornado up around Sioux City. We had some
(15:39):
pretty severe warnings down around Beatrice and Fairbury, and that's
just a long line of storm. Also way far south,
had the tornado there around Enid, Oklahoma. And we even
had a tornado warning at k State where my daughter
(16:01):
is a freshman and sent us a text and said,
we're in the basement of our dorm room right now. So,
in addition to checking the radar here in Omaha, also
was checking the radar in Manhattan, Kansas. And I said,
you're in the right place. Glad you're not out somewhere
on campus. This tornado warning should be lifted, like in
(16:22):
less than ten minutes. The storm was so fast moving
across the area, and thankfully everything was okay. They didn't
get carried off to OZ last night in Kansas, so
that's good. I have a different story from Kansas, though
it was prom last weekend for some of these Kansas students.
This in the Topeka school of Seamen High School, where
(16:45):
a kid named Cooper had an idea when he spotted
this vehicle in a grocery store parking lot there in
Topeka and thought, you know, some people rent a limousine
for prom. I wonder what it would take. And turns
out all it takes is money and gumption and Cooper
(17:09):
and his buddies there was a big group of them
all piled in and took to prom. And Lucy had
been trying for days to come up with a good
joke or punchline for this. But all these kids went
to prom in the Wiener Mobile.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Really, and their dates are just the kid just the guys.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
You know what was what was funny about this is
it truly was the Wiener Mobile because they all, they all,
they all posed for the picture out of it. It
was like eight guys and two girls like that, And
is the Wiener Well, a lot of these high school
kids they go to these dances homecoming prom as just
a group of friends and then they meet up and
(17:51):
occasionally dance with girls. There a lot Lucy I'm telling you.
First of all, yeah, the punch I don't know exactly
what the setup is, but the punch line is writing
the Wiener Mobile. A lot of people do that uprot.
So a lot of these high school kids, they go
to a prom. There's really no slow songs to dance too.
(18:13):
This isn't like when we went to prom and you
could just put on Journey's Greatest Hits and that would
cover the entire night with some fun fast songs and
some great slow songs. They barely play an these slow songs.
These kids don't know how to dance. I mean, well.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Together fair neither did we. We just kind of faked it.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I mean they don't know how to ask a girl
to slow dance with them and then try and you know,
deal with the how do my feet go? My mind
is racing right now. I never realize my palms could
get so sweaty. You got to go through that stuff.
And that's why all these kids are all nuts. They
haven't had this interaction that should start in middle school.
(18:53):
All right, We're having a middle school dance and there'll
be three slow songs, and if you don't dance with
someone by the third slow song, you're gonna regret it
and think about it for the rest of your life.
You be walking around in your forties just shaking your head, going,
why didn't I ask Tracy to dance? That's how it goes,
and you've got to learn how to do that. And
they don't do that anymore. They barely even do any
(19:14):
slow dances, if at all, and so they just kind
of go together as a big group of friends and
maybe you hang out and dance with a girl, maybe
you don't.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Well, it seems to me like this has been going
on for the last couple of decades, that the powers
that be, whoever they are, decide that the kids don't
want to do something or haven't learned how and are
not willing to learn how, so we'll just eliminate it
now they instead of trying to make kids learn stuff
new interact.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I've just kind of found that whatever the when it
comes to schools like today today Amaha Public Schools has
they got the day off, but they're still going to
make them check in for remote learning, even though the
teachers told the students, we're not really going to do
anything on Friday.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Today, So what are they checking in for?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I don't know. What I've learned is when it comes
to public schools, they get together and say, all right, guys,
what's the dumbest thing we can do? Okay, let's do
that right by the way on the Wiener Mobile. I'm
super jealous. I would have absolutely loved to have shown
up at Rolston High School's prom with my date in
(20:26):
a Wienermobile. I would have absolutely done that if I
had two things, one access to the Wiener mobile and
two access to a date. But as I was oz
for two, I didn't have a chance to do that.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
You wouldn't have gotten on that Wiener mobile anyway. No,
even if you had a date. No, she wouldn't have
one by the time the dance started.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
No, she really wouldn't have. So thank you, Lucy. I'm
Scott Borhees, welcoming another member of the kfab family into
Nebraska's morning News. Ladies and gentlemen. Emery Songer has arrived there.
Up girl, good morning.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
I'm happy to be here. Yeah, this is this is fun.
I used to do mornings every single day for five
years of my life, so this is a nice callback
to that. Happy to be here.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Our friends over in Iowa and people are like, wait,
I thought Emory left. No, you know Emory didn't leave.
He's got a great podcast, you said, Nora Sis on
your podcast at kfab dot com. Click podcast click Emorysonger
all that stuff right there at kfab dot com.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Podcast always Omaha based, always talking about the things that
are happening in and around Omaha. We do at least
two of those, three of those a week. Yeah, a
lot of fun talking to Nora legend at Creighton in
the Supernovas tonight, last game at home this season, so
one last chance to root them on. And there are
ways that they can clinch a playoff berth by the
(21:53):
end of the weekend. So that's what we're looking for.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Fantastic And you hear Emory pop in on reverse trivia
on Chris Baker Show once a while Friday's five o'clock
and invited you in here because you popped in on
the show a couple of times. But one week from
the day, I'm gone our dedicated morning show fill in
the rookie Gary Sadlemeyer, he used to work here. He's
(22:15):
he's not available next Friday. Now I'm gonna be gone
next Thursday and Friday. Gary's gonna fill in on Thursday
here on the morning show, but on Friday, Emery's songers
at the controls. And since you've never done been in
here for the entire show, you know, maybe I'll come
in here and kind of see how this goes. Here's
how it goes. You just keep saying traffic, weather and
(22:36):
news next, and you hit this button and then you say, hey, Jim,
what do you think about this? And then you go
make a sandwich and then you come back here and
you still need to kind of wave him off to
try and stay on time. And that's that's how it goes. Nice. Yeah,
it's it's super easy.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Confirmed.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, see it's super easy. You got Lucy over here,
and you got Jim over here, and you're gonna have
a great time next five.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
It sounds like fun. I'm not used to being able
to talk to so many people during my radio shows,
so you know this is good.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yeah, well you still won't. Oh yes. Sometimes, So here's
the other hazard of this show. Sometimes, like Jim's just decided,
like I got to type up my Rosie to Genozi
or a sports brief whatever, So he's over there busy
doing that, and then Lucy's recording traffic updates for everyone
in the entire country. So she's over there doing that,
(23:28):
and you're looking at both them, going all right, I
guess I don't have either of them to talk to
in this segment. And then you start getting emails going,
how come you're ignoring Lucy and Jim. It's fun, it's
a super delight. You're gonna love it. It won't keep you
up at night or make your.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Hand so people get mad at you too, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah, Oh yeah, it's it's great. I but I there's
no place I'd rather be love doing this. Glad you're
hanging out with us this morning.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
I'm glad I'm here too.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Emery, we might be buying an airline, isn't that exciting? Oh?
Speaker 4 (23:56):
We I didn't know I was making that much money yet.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
That's great. Yeah, you have your own private jet. If
the taxpayers own Spirit Airlines, which is what President Trump
is talking about, do we at least get reduced rate
to fly somewhere?
Speaker 4 (24:10):
What do we gain by this? I guess what's the plan?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
From a business standpoint, it makes sense, he's saying. Look,
Spirit Airline has been struggling for years. They filed for
Chapter eleven bankruptcy protection a couple of years ago, and
then again last year. They've just been struggling with losses.
If you're going to buy an airline, and who among
(24:36):
us hasn't thought occasionally maybe I should buy an airline.
I mean, this would be a good time to get
in and buy spirit airlines. So Trump's looking at it
from a business standpoint. We buy it now, and then
after oil prices drop, that's a better time to then
sell the airline and we make a big profit.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Who we selling it too?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Well?
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Who's gonna buy it?
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Probably someone who is is not the US government that
would buy airlines. I don't know, the Saudi Arabian government,
Elon Musk, I don't know, air lingis. Someone might want this.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
The Emirates are gonna come here.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
They could, who knows. But he says, quote they have
some good aircraft and good this is what President Trump said.
They got some good aircraft, good assets, and when the
price of oil goes down, we'll sell it for a profit.
I'd love to be able to save those jobs. I'd
love to be able to save an airline. True that
if you have more airlines, you get more competition, therefore
(25:31):
lower rates. I don't know when the last well, you've
flown a few weeks ago, and airline tickets are not
cheap right now.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
They're not. But you can strategically figure out if you're
planning far enough ahead, you can find flights for affordable rates.
If you're flying, you just have to know that you're
biting the bullet. It's going to be somewhat expensive. I
will tell you straight up, I have never even thought
to fly on Spirit Airlines. God love the people that
work for them.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
But did they even really fly out of Omaha? No? No, no,
But I don't think I've ever taken a Spirit Airlines flight.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
I think they have a couple of gates in Des Moines,
and I've seen them in other airports that I've been at.
I've never thought to even use them as like a
little connector or anything. I'm just this is one of
the things I'm willing to pay more for for a
higher quality, knowing when I'm getting right. God love the
people who work for Spirit Airlines.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Though.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Sure, I mean, I get where Trump is coming from.
I also get where Senator Ted Cruz is coming from
when he writes on Twitter x ex Twitter that a
deal for the US government to buy Spirit Airlines. Quote,
would be an absolutely terrible idea. Senator Tom Cotton, another Republican,
this one from Arkansas, said it would not be the
(26:49):
best use of taxpayer dollars. But Trump said he was
a smart person in mind who could potentially run Spirit Airlines,
which is good. I wondered what Christy Nome was going
to do, or Pam.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Christia, she's going to be wearing one of those yellow
Spirit Airlines scarfs when you get on one of those planes.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Can I bring my service dog on this airline?
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Oh, that's a bad idea.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
I knew that you would. You would pick up on
that one. Right now, we have an opportunity to welcome
the executive director of Nebraskaan's for Medical Marijuana, Christa Agers.
Welcome back to News Radio eleven ten kfa B.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Good morning, Good morning, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Scott.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Kind of a long question here, and then you get
plenty of time to answer all the elements of what
I'm asking you. In Nebraska, voters, as I think you've heard,
allowed for the disposed of the dispensary of medical marijuana Nebraska.
It's been held up by the legislature and the governor. Meanwhile,
families have been saying, we got to have this for
(27:50):
our needs, for our kids' needs. And then yesterday the
President reclassified marijuana in general from Schedule one to Schedule three,
meaning lesser penalties if you have marijuana. Why do we
need the unicamer and the governor and this board to
do anything based on the vote of the people in
(28:10):
Nebraska when they're really aren't much. There's not much in
the way of penalties for having marijuana now, Christa, it's
all yours.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
Yeah, So a good overview, Scott of what's been happening.
So when the voters back in November of twenty twenty
four past medical cannabis on the ballot, they pass two
different initiatives, and one dealt with the protections for patients
that allows someone to have a possession of cannabis for
medical use with a written recommendation from a doctor, and
(28:40):
the other was setting up their regulatory framework so a
person is able to get the recommendation and then they
have a way to actually go and access it. So
what we've seen at this point eighteen months since the
passage of that on the ballot is that there is
nowhere for a patient to go and access their medicine
once they get a written recommendation. And what's also concerning
(29:03):
is there are no doctors in our state that we
are aware of that are currently recommending because of the uncertainty,
because of some fear from comments from some state leaders.
And so what happened yesterday with the reclassification, you know
that we had anticipated that for a long long time.
That's been talked about at the federal level. And so
(29:25):
you know, a Schedule one drug is noted for that
there are no medical uses for it, highly addictive, and
we can't study it. And so the reclassification is a
huge win in a sense that we are going to
be able to start studying this. But even more I
think for those of us who have been in this
fight for a long time, patients who have said this
(29:48):
is a medicine, I want the opportunity to have this
as an option for me or my loved one, is
that we finally are the federal government has said yes,
this is correct, there is a medical use, and so
I think that's very vindicating for people who have been
fighting for that. However, it doesn't change anything here in
(30:08):
the state of Nebraska. There is no access there are
no dispensaries, there are no growers that are currently growing,
and so the impact of rescheduling is not something that
we're going to suddenly see any changes here in Nebraska.
It is going to take the Medical Cannabis Commission continuing
to set up a functioning program. It is going to
(30:29):
take the legislature over the next you know, years and
years to continue or begin creating meaningful legislation that supports
a good program. It's all fad that gives a little
bit of an overview.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, it's all. It's all very confusing because voters are like, wait,
we we voted for this, why isn't it happening? And
many people probably think it is happening because you drive
anywhere around Omaha and you see businesses that say cannabis dispensary,
and you can drive just pretty much any border state
around Nebraska and pick some up medical, recreational or whatever.
(31:06):
Why is it that you think that Governor Pillen and
the Nebraska unicameral has slow walked the will of the
voters when it comes to medical marijuana.
Speaker 6 (31:14):
Christa, Yeah, you know, my opinion is that this is
something that you know, uh, Governor Pillen, Attorney General Hilders.
Even in our federal delegates, you know former Governor Pete Ricketts,
that have all voiced opposition too. You know that that
opposition unfortunately now that the voters spoke their own personal
(31:38):
opinions or you know, political behind the scenes stuff, I
think is creating a stall. Absolutely those who are in
charge and have that power to to push or to
push back. I think that's what we've seen. And the
Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission, although they have begun their work,
(32:01):
is what is happening is going so slowly that we know,
I know at the last meeting we don't anticipate plants
going in the ground until next year, which means patients
would not have access in the state at a dispensary
for possibly still a year and a half from now.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Why can't they just drive down to Missouri And why
can't todays drive down to Missouri and get some like fireworks,
bottle rockets.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
You know, they absolutely can if people want to choose
to do that. But that shouldn't have to be what
they face. They shouldn't have to go across state lines.
They shouldn't have to go and find a doctor somewhere.
They should be able to have access to this medicine
in our state, that is state that is regulated, that
is affordable, something that they can actually afford. And so
(32:48):
right now we're in that gray area. It is legal
to possess that with that written recommendation, but no one
can get a recommendation. Therefore, there are no actual patients
in our program. And if there were patients, unfortunately there's
nowhere for them to even get this product.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
And finally, it always comes down to a question an
argument about recreational marijuana, which I argue we have now.
You go to any middle school bathroom or concert around
town and someone's out there puffing away or vaping, and
no one's doing anything to go in there and shut
that down, and people accuse you and your organization of
really ultimately pushing for recreational marijuana in Nebraska.
Speaker 6 (33:26):
Your responds to that, Yeah, I would I agree that
I don't think it's a secret that there is marijuana
in our state. Unfortunately, I think much of it, or
most all of it is probably not faith. We know
it's not tested, it's not regulated. And what I would
say about recreational and moving that direction is I would
(33:48):
challenge people to go and look where Nebraska's for Medical
Marijuana has always started in what our mission has been,
and that is to bring safe access and for many
of that many of us in this effort, this is
about our children. And I can tell you that an
adult use or recreational program has nothing and no way
to help children and patients who need this medicinally. So
(34:10):
that is not our effort. That has never been our efforts.
And you know we're still here begging and pleading for
patients to have a good medical program. And we will
continue doing what we're doing, bringing legislation, you know, using
the power of the people and their voices, until we
see the day where again we have reached our goal
(34:31):
and our mission, which was to have safe access for
patients who need this in our state.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Krista Egger is executive director of Nebraska's for Medical Marijuana.
You can find more from them online at Nebraska Marijuana
dot org. Christa, thank you very much for the time today,
have a good weekend.
Speaker 6 (34:49):
Thank you as well.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Scott your thoughts on that topic.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
Emory, well the conversation and I'm glad you brought this
up at the end. We get a lot of the
medicinal marijuana versus recreational marijuana arguments, and they bleed into
each other. They're not the same thing, they're not close
to the same thing. They shouldn't be considered the same thing.
They are derived from the same product, but that doesn't
mean that they do the same things.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Right, your doctor's probably not gonna prescribe you a giant fatty.
I take this home, give it to your kid, and
maybe they won't have any problems with glaucoma. Right. Usually
it's like a lotion, some sort of ointment or something
like that.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Well, and if we look at it from this perspective,
we can make the argument about regulation being much safer
than what the kids are getting on the streets. And
that's a different thing than what we're talking about with
medicinal marijuana. But CBD, hemp oil. If you've ever tried
to give your dog like I put my I put.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Some brownies, no little uh.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
It's a pump of like fish oil, but there were
there's a bit of hemp in it as well, and
it's good for their joints as they age, really right,
So like, it doesn't get my dogs high, but it's
a plant derived they'ved you know, kind of a pre treatment.
If you will, and it can be a treatment for
people who have different things, and there is science to
back up. And this is why I think Nebraska voters,
(36:10):
to a pretty large margin, voted a year and a
half ago that said, you know what, I think this
would be a good thing for the state of Nebraska.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
I'm constantly confused, though, because I mean on a lot
of different things. First of all, the CBD is available,
and they say like, oh, it's great. It's everything from
migrains to back pain to general malaise. And You're like, okay,
so I can go get that. What do I need
the marijuana for? And then I'm even further confused because
you said, doesn't get my dog high. Why don't we
(36:39):
have a product that gets dogs high. We got catnip
for cats that gets them absolutely lit. How come dogs don't?
Do dogs have dog nip?
Speaker 4 (36:48):
So I think catnip is more like cocaine for cats.
And I don't think dogs in general need anything to
make them more excited. They're just kind of already excited.
Now we give them trisidone ahead of the fireworks last year,
and that's the opposite. That's probably like dog weed. That
that's that that's the stuff where they basically become sleepy
(37:10):
and loopy and they're just like, whoa that awesome.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Look at the sky, look at those loves.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
All of a sudden, this isn't so scary anymore. So,
see that's what that's what we need. Grandma to have trasidone.
I don't know that'd be bad. Don't don't take trazodone.
Don't give your kids trasodon that idea. I'm glad to
have a couple of days off next week. Gary Sadelmeyer
will do the show on Thursday, Emery on Friday. I'm
Scott Vorhees. And that is Michael Jackson. Is that movie
(37:38):
out today? I believe so. I think it is. I
have you read anything about it? Or yeah, I know
you're you're a big MJ fan.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Well, see that's the that's the controversy about it is so.
I was born in the mid seventies, raised in the eighties,
came of age in the nineties, which I feel is
the best time anyone could have done those things at
that time. And I hope everyone is able to say
that for the time that they grew up. But for
purposes of the Michael Jackson conversation, the people who are
(38:08):
like ten years older than me think, yeah, he had
some good songs, but then he's a weirdo. And then
the people who are younger than me just basically know
him as a weirdo. And maybe a few of the
cool ones think some of his music is pretty good.
But for those of us in that sweet spot. For me,
like Thriller came out when I was in first grade,
(38:31):
we made sequined gloves in Sunday School. That's who Michael
Jackson was for us at that time, when MTV first
came out and Michael Jackson was the biggest thing going. Yeah,
I mean he he was the biggest thing in the world. Yeah,
So Taylor Swift is Michael Jackson now. But the thing
that she doesn't have is the signature stuff, right, the
(38:54):
hair or the jackets, the music videos that are gonna
lift forever, because that was the predominant that a music
video could step out of being a music video and
be something larger than that. Now, if you're not seeing
a music video on YouTube, I mean, it might as
well not exist. And then, of course the glove is
the one thing that I think everybody just started to associate. Oh,
that's a Michael Jackson thing, the Glove, the Moonwalk, the hat,
(39:16):
I mean, the whole Billy Jean motown thing was so.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
But this movie, I mean, I'm sure that you're a
bit torn on it because it has not been super
well reviewed. It sounds to me like they shot for
more than they could chew for his music career and
then decided that was enough of talking about Michael Jackson's
life and basically end it before we get to any
of the weird stuff.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Basically, it's his upbringing through the bad album in eighty
seven and eighty eight, and then it's like, and Michael's
life goes on. I didn't want the biopic about the
accusations and what happened with the end of his life,
and I, as a Michael Jackson fan of the artist,
I don't want that stuff. If I want to read
the tabloids stuff, I'll do it. There documentaries out there
(40:00):
that are completely one sided. If I want to watch
that stuff, but I don't. It's there. This is a
celebration of the guy that I knew growing up. The
artist the biggest thing in the world. Obviously, there are
people older and younger than me to go This is
just a fake stuff that's signed off by his family.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
So what you're saying is you're gonna go see this.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
I'm absolutely gonna go see it, and I'm gonna do
it with no shame. Judge me all you want, Lucy,
are you judging me? Oh?
Speaker 2 (40:30):
She is a little.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
I think that it's unfair of you to say anybody
older than you think Michael Jackson's no good or whatever
word you use.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
You definitely you pigeonholed people in multiple generations there.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Well, I think dating to his music long before you
were I.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
Think stereotypically though, if you were already a teenager when
Thriller came out, which was the big moment, then yeah,
you liked the album, you owned the album, but it
wasn't like it. It wasn't this was in your formative
child years. Well, here's the most entertaining thing you'll ever see.
(41:09):
You know that sticks with you the rest of your life.
I can't help it. I just thought that the music
was amazing, and I go, I'm definitely a part of
the Dave Chappelle school on this. When in Chappelle's show,
he was asked like, oh, witness on the stand, do
you think Michael Jackson did this stuff? No, why not?
He made thriller.
Speaker 4 (41:28):
I don't know if that defense holds up in court
with me. I was eighteen when he died, and I
will say this, that led me to discovering a lot
of his catalog. I was familiar with a few of
the biggest of his hits, but after he died, when
you know, everybody was playing all of the songs, it's
kind of a remembrance to him. That was when I
was exposed to some other songs and I really got
(41:49):
to understand why he was so renowned as an artist.
So I think there's space for this. Is it going
to be a biopic that's ultimately fairly forgettable? Probably, But
at the same time, if you're Michael Jackson, fans is
going to go in the catalog for sure.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
It's a fun way of celebrating Michael Jackson in his music.
And I think it's Jermaine's kid that plays Mike, so
he looks and sounds dances just like him. If you
want to see it, I guess it's out today.
Speaker 4 (42:15):
I'm looking at it right now. Show times are available
in all your movie theaters.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
All right, I'll see you at the theater. What's the
best biopick? Lucy think about this one as well, best
biopick of a musician or band? And who should be
the next person profiled in the next movie? Okay, em,
are you want to start? Sure?
Speaker 4 (42:35):
Yeah, we were talking about Michael. I haven't seen it yet.
I've seen very few. Biopicks. Are not something that I
find to be very interesting to me. I've probably seen
six or seven music related ones in my life. The
one that I was tuging you off the air was
the Brian Wilson one, Love and Mercy. That was one
that stuck with me for a while. I like the
Beach Boys. I was one of those weird ten year
(42:56):
olds that picked up the Beach Boys' greatest hits and
really liked listening to that. Yeah, at the same time,
you know, Brian Wilson was just the singer of the
Beach Boys to me. And then I watched Love and Mercy,
which came out probably ten twelve years ago. Paul Dano
is young Brian Wilson, and John Cusack is older Brian Wilson.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
And Cusack as Brian Wilson.
Speaker 4 (43:14):
I guess he's fantastic, by the way, and Paul Giamadi
Elizabeth Banks are in this movie as well. It's really
more of a look at his personal life, and I
learned a lot more about the genius of him. It
doesn't talk about the music nearly as much, but that one,
to me, it was just like, Wow, that guy is
a one o one in history.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
What should be the next band or musician profile in
a movie.
Speaker 4 (43:38):
It's got to be Boston, Boston, Boston. We got to
start with Tom Scholz, who is a Yale educator MIT
educated like engineer who in his twenties decided he was
going to design this studio and made one of the
greatest debut albums of all time, and then befriends this
guy named Brad Delp who happens to have one of
(43:59):
the most unique and incredible voices in rock and roll history,
and they just happen to be buddies. It's hard to
believe for me, but I would love to see somebody
like explore that situation and how they made that album
when they were super young and had no musical connection.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
Good pick. Lucy got a pick for best biopick on
a band or artist.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
I loved Walk the Line, Johnny Cash, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
And who should be the next one profiled Barry Manilow.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
I think it would be really interesting.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
Yeah, he's it's such a nice guy. We love Barry Manilow.
Friend of the program. He was on here for like
three minutes. Ones a good friend of the program. Barry Manilow.
I'm gonna go with best Musician Biopick Ray Jamie Fox
Is Ray Charles.
Speaker 4 (44:44):
Oh, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
Oh so good unless the Blues Brothers their spinal tap
counts orange Whip, orange Whip Pree orange whips. All right,
So I'm gonna go Ray. And then the next one
should be Nirvana, Cobaine and Nirvana. That's gonna be a
good movie.
Speaker 4 (45:02):
So I'm not sure I'm gonna like how that one ends.
Speaker 1 (45:05):
That's yeah, spoiler alert, it doesn't end. Well. Let's talk
about some some happy things here, Okay. The President says
that the that's a good start, the reflecting Pool. Yeah,
this makes everyone happy, Donald Trump today, Hey kims.
Speaker 4 (45:20):
Hello, that sounds like a great time. Pee wee's play out.
Speaker 1 (45:25):
Yeah. President. He says that the memorial reflecting pool there
in DC on the National Mall is filthy and disgusting.
A yes, so he is. He says, we're cleaning it up.
It's America two fifty, so we're getting a better looking
reflecting pool. When's the last time you were in DC too?
Speaker 4 (45:44):
May of twenty twenty three. I was in DC is
most recently, and I walked past that thing. You know,
the first thing that I thought, Man, that water is dirty? No,
I does anybody even notice the water? Do you care?
Speaker 1 (45:54):
Like?
Speaker 4 (45:55):
Does anybody care?
Speaker 1 (45:55):
You know?
Speaker 4 (45:56):
This is the thing I don't did the President gets
his idea that he wants to do something, he just
wants to go and do it. I mean, like the
ballroom at the White House, right, it's just like, well,
why couldn't we do it? Let's just do it now.
This is certainly going to cost the same amount as
that ballroom's going to cost. And if it looks fine,
I'm down for it.
Speaker 1 (46:15):
But wait, why does it cost that much to I
don't know what were we doing draining clean it? I mean,
don't even like a cool boy there the reflecting.
Speaker 4 (46:23):
You would theoretically have to drain it and clean it
if you want it to look nice with this new
blue stuff you're going to be putting in there. But
again I don't who goes.
Speaker 1 (46:32):
You can flag blue industrial pool coding to the bottom
of a pool.
Speaker 4 (46:36):
I'm this is here's here's what I'm saying. I totally
understand everybody wants everything to look pristina and nice and everything.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
I just.
Speaker 4 (46:44):
If that's the only thing that you notice when you
were walking through the National Mall with all those monuments
and all the you know, tributes and statues, and that's
the thing you notice, I would just make sure that
you look in the mirror at the end of the day.
It's like, am I a bad person? Because that would
be my reaction.
Speaker 6 (47:01):
No.
Speaker 1 (47:01):
No, If the National Mall is there to provide these
monuments and things for tourists to go by and look
at our nation's capital and be proud of them, you
don't want crime. I mean, I've not been in Washington,
D C. For over twenty years now, so it's been
a while. When I was there, I witnessed the reflecting
(47:22):
pool and obviously being able to stand there on the
steps of the Lincoln Memorial and look out and think
about being doctor King delivering that monumental speech at that monument,
whether or the bazillion people or Forrest Gump up there too.
You know, the two great figures in American history and
stand there and try and picture that and be just
(47:43):
full of pride to stand there. It's all inspiring. To
beat Arlington. It's all inspiring. But you know what else
I saw. I saw some monuments in a bit of disrepair.
And I watched one guy beat another guy with that
guy's own crutch on the streets of Washington, d C.
And it happened anyway, when come, people were just walking by, like, hey,
it's not this is just Tuesday. So I want a
(48:05):
clean DC that we can be proud of, especially for
our two hundred and fiftieth birthday. And the President says
it'll take two weeks. Everything takes two weeks with this president, right,
two weeks.
Speaker 4 (48:19):
Even seven weeks takes two weeks with this president.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
How long is the next seven weeks? Two weeks. It's
gonna cost about a half a million and a half dollars.
Donnie email says one point five million to paint a pool.
I'm in the wrong business. Now.
Speaker 4 (48:32):
See that's that's the silver lining here is maybe this
just does wonders for the pool lining business. It's stimulating
the economy, President Trump stimulating the economy this way, I've
been to watch ADC relatively recently. I rode a bike
from National's Park all the way through downtown. I didn't
feel afraid of my life, except when I accidentally ran
(48:55):
a red light. That was my bad. But you know,
I get that we need a crime to be cleaned
up there. It's gotten cleaned up. This pool apparently needs
cleaned up. Donald Trump wants to clean that up too.
I'm sure to look great. I just know that when
I was walking through the National Mall, that was the
last thing that I was thinking about. I wasn't even
really paying attention to the cherry blossoms, which were in
perfect bloom at the time that I was there. And
(49:17):
trust me, there are a lot of people that are
showing up literally to look at cherry blossoms. Don't ask
me why.
Speaker 1 (49:22):
You want to stand there at our National Mall. You
want to see, obviously, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument,
the reflecting pool there between the two. You want to
be proud of these things, The Vietnam memorials right there.
Speaker 4 (49:34):
World War Two.
Speaker 1 (49:35):
You look at the Capitol and the White House and
you look over and go, what is that over there?
It's the Jefferson memorials. She would walk over there. Eh,
I can see it from here and do make a
point to go over to Arlington. And that's what people
will be doing here for America two fifty and they
do that all the time, and it should look great.
So with an American flag, blue industrial water and pool coating,
(49:57):
I think that's gonna look cool. That's fine, Yeah, you
know it's it's gonna be the the coating on the
bottom of the pool, not a tint applied to the water.
That way, when homeless guys try and bathe in there
and they're not going to come out looking like Papa Smurf. Well,
I would be kind of funny, But I just you
got to keep the water really clear and probably put
some lighting at the bottom of this, like a like
(50:19):
your hot tub, to make sure that.
Speaker 4 (50:21):
The lining is seen. But even then, are we defacing
the National Mall's pool and making it more noticeable. Well,
that's not in the point.
Speaker 1 (50:29):
He's not putting his face. You know, at the bottom
of it, the water's going to be clear, so you
can see this face.
Speaker 4 (50:34):
I understand what you're saying. I'm also just saying that,
you know, I think the point of the water was
not to notice the water. It was symbolic that it
was there, but it's not supposed to be like the
star of the show.
Speaker 1 (50:45):
I can't imagine Trump puts his face there at the
bottom of the reflecting pool.
Speaker 4 (50:49):
Would you be that surprised? Would you be surprised if
it happens.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
I wouldn't be surprised what happened, and I wouldn't be
surprised when the TDS victims go, look, guys, a bathroom.
We got Greg Wagner here. Don't do breamo, Amory. You're
a wrestling fan. You recognize that theme song? Is that?
Uh is jail Billy Jam?
Speaker 4 (51:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (51:15):
Greg Wagner from Nebraska. Thanks, thanks a lot for being
here today. Man, Yeah, talk to you next week. Greg.
You you got Emory Songer as your host next week?
Here he's a camper, a hiker. Ye talk outdoors? Yeah
big time.
Speaker 4 (51:27):
You want to just come co host the show?
Speaker 1 (51:28):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (51:29):
Wait, I have yes, Sorry.
Speaker 1 (51:31):
No, I'm a good guest, but no, no, Well let's
let's see about that. From the from pressure from Nebraska
Game and Parks, Greg Wagner, all right, fishing first, what
do we know? Obviously we always talking about the weather, tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (51:44):
Maybe probably Sunday wash out.
Speaker 1 (51:47):
I don't think so.
Speaker 7 (51:48):
But uh, we have a good crappy bite right now,
not crappy, crappy croppy, good crappy bite right now as
they move into the shallows their pre spawn. As we
talked the fishing lingo, folks are using jigs and minnows,
minnows where you can use them, and wind swept shoreline
is going to be the ticket. And water TIMPs are
(52:09):
still chilly, buddy, So yeah, fish slow.
Speaker 1 (52:11):
Yeah. What about hunting this weekend? Spring turkey hunting.
Speaker 7 (52:14):
Greg Wagner had success just a couple of days ago
and bumped up numbers of birds out there. And I
think today is a great day to spring wild turkey
hunt with your hot gun or with your boat tomorrow, Okay,
and then the wind picks up. The enemy of the
spring turkey hunter is wind and rain, and so we'll
have a couple of days give the birds a break.
Speaker 1 (52:36):
Yeah, that'd be good. So the wind not impacting the mushrooms,
I mean some very strong strong winds, But what about
the rain yesterday? And we had a lot of scotty.
Speaker 7 (52:48):
It was spotty scotty and we needed more, but every
little bit helps. So we still are finding morell mushrooms
along the river bottom woodlands and their dead and became
true trees.
Speaker 1 (53:00):
So still hunt. Now, what you're battling.
Speaker 7 (53:03):
Is a lot of vegetation, a lot of greenery as
it gets taller, just like your yard, taller and taller.
She got to slow down doing that too, and really
look around.
Speaker 1 (53:12):
Those dead cottonwood trees. And on the outdoor bulletin board, Greg.
Speaker 7 (53:16):
It's Arbor Day, Arbor Day celebration, Nebraska City Arbor Day message.
Plant a native Nebraska tree, one, I would suggest, is
a cool one. It's not big, It's a shrub like tree,
produces food for you and critters.
Speaker 1 (53:29):
The choke cherry, the choke cherry, the choke cherry. All right,
you like it? Beautiful that a spring blossom tree cherry
kind of I would think, right, Great, Greg Wagner, have
a great weekend, you buddy see it. Thank you very
much from Nebraska Game in Parks. That is Greg Wagner
here on Nebraska's Morning News
This is Nebraska's Morning News. Really appreciate you being with
us here on this Friday morning. I am Scott Vorhie
is Craig Evans is here news updates four times an hour.
Lucy Chapman with Timesaber traffic and squinting at her phone
throughout the morning. Jim Rose is out today back on Monday.
(00:20):
Emery Songer is going to pop in here after seven
o'clock this morning for a couple of reasons. One'll always
love hanging out with Emory. Two a week from today,
Emery is going to be hosting the show with you.
Craig and Jim will be back in time for that
next week. Gary is hosting the show on Thursday next
week and then but Gary's not available and I'm not available,
(00:43):
and Emery says, I'll do it. I've never hosted the
morning show before. It's like, oh, it's super easy. You
just say traffic, weather, news is next, and you just
hit this button constantly.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Make sure you told him how to pronounce my name.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Jucy only one year, one day day year. So through
today's radio program we we obviously as always have a
lot to talk about. The goal today for the next
four hours that I get a chance to hang out
with you on the radio is to push off for
as long as possible. The story that Craig gave you
(01:20):
about the Anderson Middle School teacher who was generating nude
images of children AI style on his work computer, I
guess that was me talking about it. But some of
the details on this, and and then authorities were like
are you doing this? He's like, uh, yeah, I don't
(01:43):
know if he knew that this was against the law.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
He was making it ye ai.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah on his school computer.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
So this was not actual people. No, No, it wasn't kids.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
That's that's the thing. It's no one was involved, No
real people, no, just computer. But the law I mean,
if it's I mean, if you read the details about this,
I mean the hundreds of images what he admitted to doing,
(02:21):
they're at his school computer at school. I don't think
students were in class at the time. I mean, I
don't know if it's against the law, but this guy's creepy,
and whatever they can do to get him away from
your kid and this Millard Middle School would be fine. Weird, weird, weird,
(02:41):
That's all I want to say about that. Right now,
storms across the area last night we were covering them
here on Nebraska's News, Weather and Traffic station. We cracked
open the Pyramid Contractors Severe Weather Center. Terry Lahey was
lead anchor. I popped in a little bit. Chris Baker
Payton high Lock also a part of that coverage, as
(03:04):
well as our friends at First Alert six News. And
of course you hear about a tornado up around Little Sue,
And for those of us who've been in the area
for at least twenty years or so, we know how
awful that memory is. It was June eleventh, two thousand
(03:26):
and eight, went up about an hour hour and a
half north of Omaha. The Little Sue Scout camp tornado
occurred Juny eleventh, two thousand and eight. Four boy scouts killed.
Three thirteen year olds from Omaha, Ben, Sam and Josh
were lost that day and then a fourteen year old
(03:46):
named Aaron from Eagle Grove killed forty eight others injured.
And it was kind of late in the season, late
in the afternoon, early evening when that storm touchdown, and
just a horrible day. So yesterday we hear about a
reported tornado striking near the town. Be that as it may.
(04:08):
It's a very small little village up there, a little sue,
but we are very gracious to learn that other than
a guy's farm equipment, the tornado moved through the property.
It smashed up some like a shed and probably some
(04:28):
equipment down, some power line, scattered debris, but no injuries
and that was It only impacted Dave's farm. Sorry Dave,
but that was the best of the worst of that
scenario up there. But here we are at the precipice
of severe weather season. When that happens throughout the season,
(04:52):
join us. We'll be here with you on news radio
eleven ten kfab as. Hang on, let me check my phone.
Still no notifications. Well, it's early on day two. Lucy.
Have always kind of held out hope that my phone
would ring and it would be one of the various
National Football League teams contacting me on draft day asking
(05:17):
if I'd be interested in joining their organization, so I
would do what I would be prep Well, that that's
every year. That question is ball boy?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Do they have ball boys? I would sideline balls?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I would, well, I'm kind of the ball boy here
at KFAB. Here you go, mister Rose, here's your sports copy.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
No, what do you call the what do you call
the Is it a pitcher that can just do anything?
Isn't there something like that?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Isn't there?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Like in baseball the pitcher usually does anything by throwing
the ball towards the Are you talking about a utility player.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah, that's what you are.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah, he can do anything. He doesn't do any of
those things really well, but he is capable. Yeah that's you. Yeah, well,
you know what. It's important to have a role. But
I've always kind of hoped that my you know, a
three year letter winner football at Ralston High School? You yeah, no, yeah,
(06:12):
because when I played for Ralston, a guy like me
could be a three year letter win. How many games
did you guys win your sophomore year? Hey, that's not important.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I think it is though we.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Didn't win any That's why. That's why a guy like
me got into a lot of fourth quarters. All right,
we're down, we're down by fifty. Who wants to play?
All the other players took a big step backwards, alright
or easier in are we on offens or defense? It
doesn't matter. They're going to get the ball and score
with it anyway.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
So you didn't have a rooty moment.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Uh. Now, you know. I had one game where I
had two touchdowns called back by penalties, both penalties committed
by the same guy. I was like, why why do
you hate me? So? Yeah, that was my that was
my claim to fame.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
So you never scored a touchdown?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Then onsit in varsity?
Speaker 4 (07:13):
No, my boy, there's your sports close.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I got some I got some important first down through
some through some nice blocks.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
There's your sports report.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, here's the eleven to ten KFAB certified transmission sports free.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah. With the first pick in the NFL Draft, it
was Irving Fry Or wait, no, that was forty years ago.
Last night, with the first pick in the twenty twenty
six NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Select Bernando Minoza, quarterback.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Wait what it looks marvelous?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah, everyone knew, including Mendoza.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
The last five months has.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Been such a blessing by God and I can't think
of him enough. I'm just looking forward to get to work.
Proved at the next level. College was fantastic. I'm still
let's have that career. But now I step into a
great game of the NFL. Look forward top proving and
earning it every single day.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Yeah, Fernando Fernando Mendoz of the Heisman Trophy winning quarterback
for the national champion Indiana Hoosiers, talking about the last
five months being a blessing. You think about that five
months ago in the playoffs, people are like, is Indiana
for real? Who is this guy Fernando? And then everyone
kind of got the Abba song in their head and
(08:27):
he's really easy to cheer four. I know a lot
of people don't find the Raiders real easy to cheer four,
especially Chiefs and Broncos fans in the area. But he
was the first overall pick. Everyone kind of knew that.
Here's what happened with the next few picks. Jets take
Texas Tech edge rusher David Bailey, Cardinals get Notre Dame
(08:48):
running back Jeremiah Love. Titans go with Ohio State wide
receiver Carnell Tait. He's really good. Giants take Ohio State
linebacker linebacker Rvel Reese. There's your top five. As far
as running back, it will probably be sometime tomorrow that
Huskers running back EMMITTT. Johnson is selected. Speaking of the
(09:08):
Big Red, It's Senior Day tomorrow where Nebraska sports fans,
especially softball fans, bid goodbye, not for the end of
the season, but for Senior Day in Lincoln to the
incredible pitcher Jordi Ball from Yeah, you know, I am
all Nebraska softball until I can't be anymore and we're
running out of time and that's sad.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
But until I'm.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Done with this team, in this program, like, I don't
really want to talk or even think about what comes
after that.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah. The thought was that maybe she would go pro
and play some professional softball, or maybe she'd take time off.
She is, after all, now married, may be interested in
starting a family. First things first, though, A softball double
header versus Iowa and Lincoln to day three and then
approximately five thirty senior days one o'clock tomorrow for the
NU softball team in Lincoln. Baseball on the road tonight
(09:59):
for the first of three, six o'clock at Illinois Crayton's
home versus Butler. If you like baseball, you got a
couple options here locally see you six o'clock first to
three for the weekend against Butler. That's tonight, and UNO
is at home versus Saint Thomas. Also it's six o'clock
in the NBA playoffs, holds up the screens back to
the Rollers, the lot to the rav and Rudy hamersick room.
(10:22):
It's the first lines up for Rudy Go Bear in
this series and it puts the Wolves up by twenty four.
Timberwolves now lead that best of seven first round series
two to one, beating the Denver Nuggets one thirteen ninety six.
Last night, Hawks and Raptors also get win. And in
the NHL playoffs, it was Buffalo, Carolina and Colorado all
winning their games last night in the first round of
(10:44):
the Stanley Cup playoffs. And you got Nebraska's morning news
here on this Friday morning. Jim Rose lists he is
out today back Monday, Lucy Chapmans here, Craig Evans, I am,
Scott Voorhees, Emery Songer is gonna pop in at some
point in the next hour talking about the severe weather
average here on eleven ten KFAB. Last night, as we
were all watching the skies, especially Blair was getting hit
(11:07):
with hal again, Ralston getting hit with Hale again. We
got some peace sized hail throughout much of Omaha, thankfully,
nothing terribly damaging. And we had the one tornado damaged
some equipment on a guy's farm up around Little Sioux,
about an hour or so north of Omaha. But as
you heard in the Fox News update, northern Oklahoma had
(11:30):
some homes flattened, ten injured, and an air Force base damaged.
As we had tornadoes touchdown near Enid, Oklahoma. That's where
Vance Air Force Base is. And so now you can
expect to turn on the news today and see various
members of the media talking with people in Oklahoma about
(11:52):
what that tornado experience was like for them yesterday. I
can tell you what you do. You did take them
down on spark plug that in a little hole. You
just put a little around there, just like Bobby Interceptions.
I could go boom, boom, just like that. I'll tell
you what you said, Partner, I old George come in
there talking about Titan's own bourbon. Cramer comes slide and wen,
I tell you what man. Yeah. So that you're going
(12:14):
to see a lot of that on the news today
because that's what people on the coasts think people in
Oklahoma sound like, and sometimes they're right. Thankfully, no injuries
last night and not a lot of damage to Vance
Air Force Base. See, we need the air Force base
because we're battling Iran and we're losing weapons, we're losing ammunition,
(12:40):
and we lost a soldier, thankfully not killed, but a
soldier had to be taken out of action in Iran
because Lucy, he was scratched by a monkey or did
you already know? I was going to say that I did.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Not know that there were monkeys around.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Well, turns out his mission didn't get derailed by the
war necessarily, but apparently on their way to the Strait
of Hormuz, a sailor aboard the USS Chief This is
a navy mind sweeper. They got to go into the strait,
figure out where the mines are and sweep them. And
(13:24):
they stopped near the ship's homeport in Japan. They were
actually in Thailand and they had a little shore leave.
And I don't know if I can say the name
of the town in Thailand. It's spelled p h u
k e T who k who ket?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
That's what Craig in the news department all knowing Craig.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Oh, yeah, Craig's has some variation of that a lot.
Hey Craig, your computer not working? Yep? Who Ket? The
sailor and electronics technician was on a shore or leave
and ended up getting scratched by a monkey. We don't
know how he came in such close proximity with the monkey. Uh,
(14:12):
A military official says, quote, weird stuff happens. This was
definitely an unknown unknown. The monkey run in has become
a talking point among the Navy small mind sweeping community,
where they say, all right, watch out for the long
tail macaw, the common and sometimes aggressive monkeys, and the
(14:32):
tourist areas there in Pookat, Thailand.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Were they able to take him into custody the monkey?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yes, Well, I don't know that the monkey did anything
terribly wrong. I mean, you're just doing monkey stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, that's salt.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
That's a salt. Brother. They can carry diseases, including herpies.
How'd you like to tell people? Yeah, I got herpies
from a monkey.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
A monkey scratch.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yeah, well that's that's the story. It's herpes be and
you need immediate treatment on that. Well, I'm sure I
don't have to tell you. I'm not talking to you.
There's a guy. There's a guy. I'm not talking to you.
The guy riddled with the herp here in the studio
and we have people come in. There's bleacher sitting here
(15:18):
in the Gary Sadlemeyer studio to observe the show. And
there's one guy here who's got the herp and you
know he's nodding, Yep, you don't tell me, I got it.
I was talking to him. We're all here with you
on news radio eleven ten kfa B as some of
us were last night for a severe weather coverage. We
had a tornado up around Sioux City. We had some
(15:39):
pretty severe warnings down around Beatrice and Fairbury, and that's
just a long line of storm. Also way far south,
had the tornado there around Enid, Oklahoma. And we even
had a tornado warning at k State where my daughter
(16:01):
is a freshman and sent us a text and said,
we're in the basement of our dorm room right now. So,
in addition to checking the radar here in Omaha, also
was checking the radar in Manhattan, Kansas. And I said,
you're in the right place. Glad you're not out somewhere
on campus. This tornado warning should be lifted, like in
(16:22):
less than ten minutes. The storm was so fast moving
across the area, and thankfully everything was okay. They didn't
get carried off to OZ last night in Kansas, so
that's good. I have a different story from Kansas, though
it was prom last weekend for some of these Kansas students.
This in the Topeka school of Seamen High School, where
(16:45):
a kid named Cooper had an idea when he spotted
this vehicle in a grocery store parking lot there in
Topeka and thought, you know, some people rent a limousine
for prom. I wonder what it would take. And turns
out all it takes is money and gumption and Cooper
(17:09):
and his buddies there was a big group of them
all piled in and took to prom. And Lucy had
been trying for days to come up with a good
joke or punchline for this. But all these kids went
to prom in the Wiener Mobile.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Really, and their dates are just the kid just the guys.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
You know what was what was funny about this is
it truly was the Wiener Mobile because they all, they all,
they all posed for the picture out of it. It
was like eight guys and two girls like that, And
is the Wiener Well, a lot of these high school
kids they go to these dances homecoming prom as just
a group of friends and then they meet up and
(17:51):
occasionally dance with girls. There a lot Lucy I'm telling you.
First of all, yeah, the punch I don't know exactly
what the setup is, but the punch line is writing
the Wiener Mobile. A lot of people do that uprot.
So a lot of these high school kids, they go
to a prom. There's really no slow songs to dance too.
(18:13):
This isn't like when we went to prom and you
could just put on Journey's Greatest Hits and that would
cover the entire night with some fun fast songs and
some great slow songs. They barely play an these slow songs.
These kids don't know how to dance. I mean, well.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Together fair neither did we. We just kind of faked it.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I mean they don't know how to ask a girl
to slow dance with them and then try and you know,
deal with the how do my feet go? My mind
is racing right now. I never realize my palms could
get so sweaty. You got to go through that stuff.
And that's why all these kids are all nuts. They
haven't had this interaction that should start in middle school.
(18:53):
All right, We're having a middle school dance and there'll
be three slow songs, and if you don't dance with
someone by the third slow song, you're gonna regret it
and think about it for the rest of your life.
You be walking around in your forties just shaking your head, going,
why didn't I ask Tracy to dance? That's how it goes,
and you've got to learn how to do that. And
they don't do that anymore. They barely even do any
(19:14):
slow dances, if at all, and so they just kind
of go together as a big group of friends and
maybe you hang out and dance with a girl, maybe
you don't.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Well, it seems to me like this has been going
on for the last couple of decades, that the powers
that be, whoever they are, decide that the kids don't
want to do something or haven't learned how and are
not willing to learn how, so we'll just eliminate it
now they instead of trying to make kids learn stuff
new interact.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I've just kind of found that whatever the when it
comes to schools like today today Amaha Public Schools has
they got the day off, but they're still going to
make them check in for remote learning, even though the
teachers told the students, we're not really going to do
anything on Friday.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Today, So what are they checking in for?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
I don't know. What I've learned is when it comes
to public schools, they get together and say, all right, guys,
what's the dumbest thing we can do? Okay, let's do
that right by the way on the Wiener Mobile. I'm
super jealous. I would have absolutely loved to have shown
up at Rolston High School's prom with my date in
(20:26):
a Wienermobile. I would have absolutely done that if I
had two things, one access to the Wiener mobile and
two access to a date. But as I was oz
for two, I didn't have a chance to do that.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
You wouldn't have gotten on that Wiener mobile anyway. No,
even if you had a date. No, she wouldn't have
one by the time the dance started.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
No, she really wouldn't have. So thank you, Lucy. I'm
Scott Borhees, welcoming another member of the kfab family into
Nebraska's morning News. Ladies and gentlemen. Emery Songer has arrived there.
Up girl, good morning.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
I'm happy to be here. Yeah, this is this is fun.
I used to do mornings every single day for five
years of my life, so this is a nice callback
to that. Happy to be here.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Our friends over in Iowa and people are like, wait,
I thought Emory left. No, you know Emory didn't leave.
He's got a great podcast, you said, Nora Sis on
your podcast at kfab dot com. Click podcast click Emorysonger
all that stuff right there at kfab dot com.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Podcast always Omaha based, always talking about the things that
are happening in and around Omaha. We do at least
two of those, three of those a week. Yeah, a
lot of fun talking to Nora legend at Creighton in
the Supernovas tonight, last game at home this season, so
one last chance to root them on. And there are
ways that they can clinch a playoff berth by the
(21:53):
end of the weekend. So that's what we're looking for.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Fantastic And you hear Emory pop in on reverse trivia
on Chris Baker Show once a while Friday's five o'clock
and invited you in here because you popped in on
the show a couple of times. But one week from
the day, I'm gone our dedicated morning show fill in
the rookie Gary Sadlemeyer, he used to work here. He's
(22:15):
he's not available next Friday. Now I'm gonna be gone
next Thursday and Friday. Gary's gonna fill in on Thursday
here on the morning show, but on Friday, Emery's songers
at the controls. And since you've never done been in
here for the entire show, you know, maybe I'll come
in here and kind of see how this goes. Here's
how it goes. You just keep saying traffic, weather and
(22:36):
news next, and you hit this button and then you say, hey, Jim,
what do you think about this? And then you go
make a sandwich and then you come back here and
you still need to kind of wave him off to
try and stay on time. And that's that's how it goes. Nice. Yeah,
it's it's super easy.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Confirmed.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, see it's super easy. You got Lucy over here,
and you got Jim over here, and you're gonna have
a great time next five.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
It sounds like fun. I'm not used to being able
to talk to so many people during my radio shows,
so you know this is good.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yeah, well you still won't. Oh yes. Sometimes, So here's
the other hazard of this show. Sometimes, like Jim's just decided,
like I got to type up my Rosie to Genozi
or a sports brief whatever, So he's over there busy
doing that, and then Lucy's recording traffic updates for everyone
in the entire country. So she's over there doing that,
(23:28):
and you're looking at both them, going all right, I
guess I don't have either of them to talk to
in this segment. And then you start getting emails going,
how come you're ignoring Lucy and Jim. It's fun, it's
a super delight. You're gonna love it. It won't keep you
up at night or make your.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Hand so people get mad at you too, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah, Oh yeah, it's it's great. I but I there's
no place I'd rather be love doing this. Glad you're
hanging out with us this morning.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
I'm glad I'm here too.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Emery, we might be buying an airline, isn't that exciting? Oh?
Speaker 4 (23:56):
We I didn't know I was making that much money yet.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
That's great. Yeah, you have your own private jet. If
the taxpayers own Spirit Airlines, which is what President Trump
is talking about, do we at least get reduced rate
to fly somewhere?
Speaker 4 (24:10):
What do we gain by this? I guess what's the plan?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
From a business standpoint, it makes sense, he's saying. Look,
Spirit Airline has been struggling for years. They filed for
Chapter eleven bankruptcy protection a couple of years ago, and
then again last year. They've just been struggling with losses.
If you're going to buy an airline, and who among
(24:36):
us hasn't thought occasionally maybe I should buy an airline.
I mean, this would be a good time to get
in and buy spirit airlines. So Trump's looking at it
from a business standpoint. We buy it now, and then
after oil prices drop, that's a better time to then
sell the airline and we make a big profit.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Who we selling it too?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Well?
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Who's gonna buy it?
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Probably someone who is is not the US government that
would buy airlines. I don't know, the Saudi Arabian government,
Elon Musk, I don't know, air lingis. Someone might want this.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
The Emirates are gonna come here.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
They could, who knows. But he says, quote they have
some good aircraft and good this is what President Trump said.
They got some good aircraft, good assets, and when the
price of oil goes down, we'll sell it for a profit.
I'd love to be able to save those jobs. I'd
love to be able to save an airline. True that
if you have more airlines, you get more competition, therefore
(25:31):
lower rates. I don't know when the last well, you've
flown a few weeks ago, and airline tickets are not
cheap right now.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
They're not. But you can strategically figure out if you're
planning far enough ahead, you can find flights for affordable rates.
If you're flying, you just have to know that you're
biting the bullet. It's going to be somewhat expensive. I
will tell you straight up, I have never even thought
to fly on Spirit Airlines. God love the people that
work for them.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
But did they even really fly out of Omaha? No? No, no,
But I don't think I've ever taken a Spirit Airlines flight.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
I think they have a couple of gates in Des Moines,
and I've seen them in other airports that I've been at.
I've never thought to even use them as like a
little connector or anything. I'm just this is one of
the things I'm willing to pay more for for a
higher quality, knowing when I'm getting right. God love the
people who work for Spirit Airlines.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Though.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Sure, I mean, I get where Trump is coming from.
I also get where Senator Ted Cruz is coming from
when he writes on Twitter x ex Twitter that a
deal for the US government to buy Spirit Airlines. Quote,
would be an absolutely terrible idea. Senator Tom Cotton, another Republican,
this one from Arkansas, said it would not be the
(26:49):
best use of taxpayer dollars. But Trump said he was
a smart person in mind who could potentially run Spirit Airlines,
which is good. I wondered what Christy Nome was going
to do, or Pam.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Christia, she's going to be wearing one of those yellow
Spirit Airlines scarfs when you get on one of those planes.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Can I bring my service dog on this airline?
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Oh, that's a bad idea.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
I knew that you would. You would pick up on
that one. Right now, we have an opportunity to welcome
the executive director of Nebraskaan's for Medical Marijuana, Christa Agers.
Welcome back to News Radio eleven ten kfa B.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Good morning, Good morning, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Scott.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Kind of a long question here, and then you get
plenty of time to answer all the elements of what
I'm asking you. In Nebraska, voters, as I think you've heard,
allowed for the disposed of the dispensary of medical marijuana Nebraska.
It's been held up by the legislature and the governor. Meanwhile,
families have been saying, we got to have this for
(27:50):
our needs, for our kids' needs. And then yesterday the
President reclassified marijuana in general from Schedule one to Schedule three,
meaning lesser penalties if you have marijuana. Why do we
need the unicamer and the governor and this board to
do anything based on the vote of the people in
(28:10):
Nebraska when they're really aren't much. There's not much in
the way of penalties for having marijuana now, Christa, it's
all yours.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
Yeah, So a good overview, Scott of what's been happening.
So when the voters back in November of twenty twenty
four past medical cannabis on the ballot, they pass two
different initiatives, and one dealt with the protections for patients
that allows someone to have a possession of cannabis for
medical use with a written recommendation from a doctor, and
(28:40):
the other was setting up their regulatory framework so a
person is able to get the recommendation and then they
have a way to actually go and access it. So
what we've seen at this point eighteen months since the
passage of that on the ballot is that there is
nowhere for a patient to go and access their medicine
once they get a written recommendation. And what's also concerning
(29:03):
is there are no doctors in our state that we
are aware of that are currently recommending because of the uncertainty,
because of some fear from comments from some state leaders.
And so what happened yesterday with the reclassification, you know
that we had anticipated that for a long long time.
That's been talked about at the federal level. And so
(29:25):
you know, a Schedule one drug is noted for that
there are no medical uses for it, highly addictive, and
we can't study it. And so the reclassification is a
huge win in a sense that we are going to
be able to start studying this. But even more I
think for those of us who have been in this
fight for a long time, patients who have said this
(29:48):
is a medicine, I want the opportunity to have this
as an option for me or my loved one, is
that we finally are the federal government has said yes,
this is correct, there is a medical use, and so
I think that's very vindicating for people who have been
fighting for that. However, it doesn't change anything here in
(30:08):
the state of Nebraska. There is no access there are
no dispensaries, there are no growers that are currently growing,
and so the impact of rescheduling is not something that
we're going to suddenly see any changes here in Nebraska.
It is going to take the Medical Cannabis Commission continuing
to set up a functioning program. It is going to
(30:29):
take the legislature over the next you know, years and
years to continue or begin creating meaningful legislation that supports
a good program. It's all fad that gives a little
bit of an overview.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, it's all. It's all very confusing because voters are like, wait,
we we voted for this, why isn't it happening? And
many people probably think it is happening because you drive
anywhere around Omaha and you see businesses that say cannabis dispensary,
and you can drive just pretty much any border state
around Nebraska and pick some up medical, recreational or whatever.
(31:06):
Why is it that you think that Governor Pillen and
the Nebraska unicameral has slow walked the will of the
voters when it comes to medical marijuana.
Speaker 6 (31:14):
Christa, Yeah, you know, my opinion is that this is
something that you know, uh, Governor Pillen, Attorney General Hilders.
Even in our federal delegates, you know former Governor Pete Ricketts,
that have all voiced opposition too. You know that that
opposition unfortunately now that the voters spoke their own personal
(31:38):
opinions or you know, political behind the scenes stuff, I
think is creating a stall. Absolutely those who are in
charge and have that power to to push or to
push back. I think that's what we've seen. And the
Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission, although they have begun their work,
(32:01):
is what is happening is going so slowly that we know,
I know at the last meeting we don't anticipate plants
going in the ground until next year, which means patients
would not have access in the state at a dispensary
for possibly still a year and a half from now.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Why can't they just drive down to Missouri And why
can't todays drive down to Missouri and get some like fireworks,
bottle rockets.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
You know, they absolutely can if people want to choose
to do that. But that shouldn't have to be what
they face. They shouldn't have to go across state lines.
They shouldn't have to go and find a doctor somewhere.
They should be able to have access to this medicine
in our state, that is state that is regulated, that
is affordable, something that they can actually afford. And so
(32:48):
right now we're in that gray area. It is legal
to possess that with that written recommendation, but no one
can get a recommendation. Therefore, there are no actual patients
in our program. And if there were patients, unfortunately there's
nowhere for them to even get this product.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
And finally, it always comes down to a question an
argument about recreational marijuana, which I argue we have now.
You go to any middle school bathroom or concert around
town and someone's out there puffing away or vaping, and
no one's doing anything to go in there and shut
that down, and people accuse you and your organization of
really ultimately pushing for recreational marijuana in Nebraska.
Speaker 6 (33:26):
Your responds to that, Yeah, I would I agree that
I don't think it's a secret that there is marijuana
in our state. Unfortunately, I think much of it, or
most all of it is probably not faith. We know
it's not tested, it's not regulated. And what I would
say about recreational and moving that direction is I would
(33:48):
challenge people to go and look where Nebraska's for Medical
Marijuana has always started in what our mission has been,
and that is to bring safe access and for many
of that many of us in this effort, this is
about our children. And I can tell you that an
adult use or recreational program has nothing and no way
to help children and patients who need this medicinally. So
(34:10):
that is not our effort. That has never been our efforts.
And you know we're still here begging and pleading for
patients to have a good medical program. And we will
continue doing what we're doing, bringing legislation, you know, using
the power of the people and their voices, until we
see the day where again we have reached our goal
(34:31):
and our mission, which was to have safe access for
patients who need this in our state.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Krista Egger is executive director of Nebraska's for Medical Marijuana.
You can find more from them online at Nebraska Marijuana
dot org. Christa, thank you very much for the time today,
have a good weekend.
Speaker 6 (34:49):
Thank you as well.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Scott your thoughts on that topic.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
Emory, well the conversation and I'm glad you brought this
up at the end. We get a lot of the
medicinal marijuana versus recreational marijuana arguments, and they bleed into
each other. They're not the same thing, they're not close
to the same thing. They shouldn't be considered the same thing.
They are derived from the same product, but that doesn't
mean that they do the same things.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Right, your doctor's probably not gonna prescribe you a giant fatty.
I take this home, give it to your kid, and
maybe they won't have any problems with glaucoma. Right. Usually
it's like a lotion, some sort of ointment or something
like that.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Well, and if we look at it from this perspective,
we can make the argument about regulation being much safer
than what the kids are getting on the streets. And
that's a different thing than what we're talking about with
medicinal marijuana. But CBD, hemp oil. If you've ever tried
to give your dog like I put my I put.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Some brownies, no little uh.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
It's a pump of like fish oil, but there were
there's a bit of hemp in it as well, and
it's good for their joints as they age, really right,
So like, it doesn't get my dogs high, but it's
a plant derived they'ved you know, kind of a pre treatment.
If you will, and it can be a treatment for
people who have different things, and there is science to
back up. And this is why I think Nebraska voters,
(36:10):
to a pretty large margin, voted a year and a
half ago that said, you know what, I think this
would be a good thing for the state of Nebraska.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
I'm constantly confused, though, because I mean on a lot
of different things. First of all, the CBD is available,
and they say like, oh, it's great. It's everything from
migrains to back pain to general malaise. And You're like, okay,
so I can go get that. What do I need
the marijuana for? And then I'm even further confused because
you said, doesn't get my dog high. Why don't we
(36:39):
have a product that gets dogs high. We got catnip
for cats that gets them absolutely lit. How come dogs don't?
Do dogs have dog nip?
Speaker 4 (36:48):
So I think catnip is more like cocaine for cats.
And I don't think dogs in general need anything to
make them more excited. They're just kind of already excited.
Now we give them trisidone ahead of the fireworks last year,
and that's the opposite. That's probably like dog weed. That
that's that that's the stuff where they basically become sleepy
(37:10):
and loopy and they're just like, whoa that awesome.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Look at the sky, look at those loves.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
All of a sudden, this isn't so scary anymore. So,
see that's what that's what we need. Grandma to have trasidone.
I don't know that'd be bad. Don't don't take trazodone.
Don't give your kids trasodon that idea. I'm glad to
have a couple of days off next week. Gary Sadelmeyer
will do the show on Thursday, Emery on Friday. I'm
Scott Vorhees. And that is Michael Jackson. Is that movie
(37:38):
out today? I believe so. I think it is. I
have you read anything about it? Or yeah, I know
you're you're a big MJ fan.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Well, see that's the that's the controversy about it is so.
I was born in the mid seventies, raised in the eighties,
came of age in the nineties, which I feel is
the best time anyone could have done those things at
that time. And I hope everyone is able to say
that for the time that they grew up. But for
purposes of the Michael Jackson conversation, the people who are
(38:08):
like ten years older than me think, yeah, he had
some good songs, but then he's a weirdo. And then
the people who are younger than me just basically know
him as a weirdo. And maybe a few of the
cool ones think some of his music is pretty good.
But for those of us in that sweet spot. For me,
like Thriller came out when I was in first grade,
(38:31):
we made sequined gloves in Sunday School. That's who Michael
Jackson was for us at that time, when MTV first
came out and Michael Jackson was the biggest thing going. Yeah,
I mean he he was the biggest thing in the world. Yeah,
So Taylor Swift is Michael Jackson now. But the thing
that she doesn't have is the signature stuff, right, the
(38:54):
hair or the jackets, the music videos that are gonna
lift forever, because that was the predominant that a music
video could step out of being a music video and
be something larger than that. Now, if you're not seeing
a music video on YouTube, I mean, it might as
well not exist. And then, of course the glove is
the one thing that I think everybody just started to associate. Oh,
that's a Michael Jackson thing, the Glove, the Moonwalk, the hat,
(39:16):
I mean, the whole Billy Jean motown thing was so.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
But this movie, I mean, I'm sure that you're a
bit torn on it because it has not been super
well reviewed. It sounds to me like they shot for
more than they could chew for his music career and
then decided that was enough of talking about Michael Jackson's
life and basically end it before we get to any
of the weird stuff.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Basically, it's his upbringing through the bad album in eighty
seven and eighty eight, and then it's like, and Michael's
life goes on. I didn't want the biopic about the
accusations and what happened with the end of his life,
and I, as a Michael Jackson fan of the artist,
I don't want that stuff. If I want to read
the tabloids stuff, I'll do it. There documentaries out there
(40:00):
that are completely one sided. If I want to watch
that stuff, but I don't. It's there. This is a
celebration of the guy that I knew growing up. The
artist the biggest thing in the world. Obviously, there are
people older and younger than me to go This is
just a fake stuff that's signed off by his family.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
So what you're saying is you're gonna go see this.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
I'm absolutely gonna go see it, and I'm gonna do
it with no shame. Judge me all you want, Lucy,
are you judging me? Oh?
Speaker 2 (40:30):
She is a little.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
I think that it's unfair of you to say anybody
older than you think Michael Jackson's no good or whatever
word you use.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
You definitely you pigeonholed people in multiple generations there.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Well, I think dating to his music long before you
were I.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
Think stereotypically though, if you were already a teenager when
Thriller came out, which was the big moment, then yeah,
you liked the album, you owned the album, but it
wasn't like it. It wasn't this was in your formative
child years. Well, here's the most entertaining thing you'll ever see.
(41:09):
You know that sticks with you the rest of your life.
I can't help it. I just thought that the music
was amazing, and I go, I'm definitely a part of
the Dave Chappelle school on this. When in Chappelle's show,
he was asked like, oh, witness on the stand, do
you think Michael Jackson did this stuff? No, why not?
He made thriller.
Speaker 4 (41:28):
I don't know if that defense holds up in court
with me. I was eighteen when he died, and I
will say this, that led me to discovering a lot
of his catalog. I was familiar with a few of
the biggest of his hits, but after he died, when
you know, everybody was playing all of the songs, it's
kind of a remembrance to him. That was when I
was exposed to some other songs and I really got
(41:49):
to understand why he was so renowned as an artist.
So I think there's space for this. Is it going
to be a biopic that's ultimately fairly forgettable? Probably, But
at the same time, if you're Michael Jackson, fans is
going to go in the catalog for sure.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
It's a fun way of celebrating Michael Jackson in his music.
And I think it's Jermaine's kid that plays Mike, so
he looks and sounds dances just like him. If you
want to see it, I guess it's out today.
Speaker 4 (42:15):
I'm looking at it right now. Show times are available
in all your movie theaters.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
All right, I'll see you at the theater. What's the
best biopick? Lucy think about this one as well, best
biopick of a musician or band? And who should be
the next person profiled in the next movie? Okay, em,
are you want to start? Sure?
Speaker 4 (42:35):
Yeah, we were talking about Michael. I haven't seen it yet.
I've seen very few. Biopicks. Are not something that I
find to be very interesting to me. I've probably seen
six or seven music related ones in my life. The
one that I was tuging you off the air was
the Brian Wilson one, Love and Mercy. That was one
that stuck with me for a while. I like the
Beach Boys. I was one of those weird ten year
(42:56):
olds that picked up the Beach Boys' greatest hits and
really liked listening to that. Yeah, at the same time,
you know, Brian Wilson was just the singer of the
Beach Boys to me. And then I watched Love and Mercy,
which came out probably ten twelve years ago. Paul Dano
is young Brian Wilson, and John Cusack is older Brian Wilson.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
And Cusack as Brian Wilson.
Speaker 4 (43:14):
I guess he's fantastic, by the way, and Paul Giamadi
Elizabeth Banks are in this movie as well. It's really
more of a look at his personal life, and I
learned a lot more about the genius of him. It
doesn't talk about the music nearly as much, but that one,
to me, it was just like, Wow, that guy is
a one o one in history.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
What should be the next band or musician profile in
a movie.
Speaker 4 (43:38):
It's got to be Boston, Boston, Boston. We got to
start with Tom Scholz, who is a Yale educator MIT
educated like engineer who in his twenties decided he was
going to design this studio and made one of the
greatest debut albums of all time, and then befriends this
guy named Brad Delp who happens to have one of
(43:59):
the most unique and incredible voices in rock and roll history,
and they just happen to be buddies. It's hard to
believe for me, but I would love to see somebody
like explore that situation and how they made that album
when they were super young and had no musical connection.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
Good pick. Lucy got a pick for best biopick on
a band or artist.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
I loved Walk the Line, Johnny Cash, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
And who should be the next one profiled Barry Manilow.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
I think it would be really interesting.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
Yeah, he's it's such a nice guy. We love Barry Manilow.
Friend of the program. He was on here for like
three minutes. Ones a good friend of the program. Barry Manilow.
I'm gonna go with best Musician Biopick Ray Jamie Fox
Is Ray Charles.
Speaker 4 (44:44):
Oh, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
Oh so good unless the Blues Brothers their spinal tap
counts orange Whip, orange Whip Pree orange whips. All right,
So I'm gonna go Ray. And then the next one
should be Nirvana, Cobaine and Nirvana. That's gonna be a
good movie.
Speaker 4 (45:02):
So I'm not sure I'm gonna like how that one ends.
Speaker 1 (45:05):
That's yeah, spoiler alert, it doesn't end. Well. Let's talk
about some some happy things here, Okay. The President says
that the that's a good start, the reflecting Pool. Yeah,
this makes everyone happy, Donald Trump today, Hey kims.
Speaker 4 (45:20):
Hello, that sounds like a great time. Pee wee's play out.
Speaker 1 (45:25):
Yeah. President. He says that the memorial reflecting pool there
in DC on the National Mall is filthy and disgusting.
A yes, so he is. He says, we're cleaning it up.
It's America two fifty, so we're getting a better looking
reflecting pool. When's the last time you were in DC too?
Speaker 4 (45:44):
May of twenty twenty three. I was in DC is
most recently, and I walked past that thing. You know,
the first thing that I thought, Man, that water is dirty? No,
I does anybody even notice the water? Do you care?
Speaker 1 (45:54):
Like?
Speaker 4 (45:55):
Does anybody care?
Speaker 1 (45:55):
You know?
Speaker 4 (45:56):
This is the thing I don't did the President gets
his idea that he wants to do something, he just
wants to go and do it. I mean, like the
ballroom at the White House, right, it's just like, well,
why couldn't we do it? Let's just do it now.
This is certainly going to cost the same amount as
that ballroom's going to cost. And if it looks fine,
I'm down for it.
Speaker 1 (46:15):
But wait, why does it cost that much to I
don't know what were we doing draining clean it? I mean,
don't even like a cool boy there the reflecting.
Speaker 4 (46:23):
You would theoretically have to drain it and clean it
if you want it to look nice with this new
blue stuff you're going to be putting in there. But
again I don't who goes.
Speaker 1 (46:32):
You can flag blue industrial pool coding to the bottom
of a pool.
Speaker 4 (46:36):
I'm this is here's here's what I'm saying. I totally
understand everybody wants everything to look pristina and nice and everything.
Speaker 1 (46:42):
I just.
Speaker 4 (46:44):
If that's the only thing that you notice when you
were walking through the National Mall with all those monuments
and all the you know, tributes and statues, and that's
the thing you notice, I would just make sure that
you look in the mirror at the end of the day.
It's like, am I a bad person? Because that would
be my reaction.
Speaker 6 (47:01):
No.
Speaker 1 (47:01):
No, If the National Mall is there to provide these
monuments and things for tourists to go by and look
at our nation's capital and be proud of them, you
don't want crime. I mean, I've not been in Washington,
D C. For over twenty years now, so it's been
a while. When I was there, I witnessed the reflecting
(47:22):
pool and obviously being able to stand there on the
steps of the Lincoln Memorial and look out and think
about being doctor King delivering that monumental speech at that monument,
whether or the bazillion people or Forrest Gump up there too.
You know, the two great figures in American history and
stand there and try and picture that and be just
(47:43):
full of pride to stand there. It's all inspiring. To
beat Arlington. It's all inspiring. But you know what else
I saw. I saw some monuments in a bit of disrepair.
And I watched one guy beat another guy with that
guy's own crutch on the streets of Washington, d C.
And it happened anyway, when come, people were just walking by, like, hey,
it's not this is just Tuesday. So I want a
(48:05):
clean DC that we can be proud of, especially for
our two hundred and fiftieth birthday. And the President says
it'll take two weeks. Everything takes two weeks with this president, right,
two weeks.
Speaker 4 (48:19):
Even seven weeks takes two weeks with this president.
Speaker 1 (48:22):
How long is the next seven weeks? Two weeks. It's
gonna cost about a half a million and a half dollars.
Donnie email says one point five million to paint a pool.
I'm in the wrong business. Now.
Speaker 4 (48:32):
See that's that's the silver lining here is maybe this
just does wonders for the pool lining business. It's stimulating
the economy, President Trump stimulating the economy this way, I've
been to watch ADC relatively recently. I rode a bike
from National's Park all the way through downtown. I didn't
feel afraid of my life, except when I accidentally ran
(48:55):
a red light. That was my bad. But you know,
I get that we need a crime to be cleaned
up there. It's gotten cleaned up. This pool apparently needs
cleaned up. Donald Trump wants to clean that up too.
I'm sure to look great. I just know that when
I was walking through the National Mall, that was the
last thing that I was thinking about. I wasn't even
really paying attention to the cherry blossoms, which were in
perfect bloom at the time that I was there. And
(49:17):
trust me, there are a lot of people that are
showing up literally to look at cherry blossoms. Don't ask
me why.
Speaker 1 (49:22):
You want to stand there at our National Mall. You
want to see, obviously, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument,
the reflecting pool there between the two. You want to
be proud of these things, The Vietnam memorials right there.
Speaker 4 (49:34):
World War Two.
Speaker 1 (49:35):
You look at the Capitol and the White House and
you look over and go, what is that over there?
It's the Jefferson memorials. She would walk over there. Eh,
I can see it from here and do make a
point to go over to Arlington. And that's what people
will be doing here for America two fifty and they
do that all the time, and it should look great.
So with an American flag, blue industrial water and pool coating,
(49:57):
I think that's gonna look cool. That's fine, Yeah, you
know it's it's gonna be the the coating on the
bottom of the pool, not a tint applied to the water.
That way, when homeless guys try and bathe in there
and they're not going to come out looking like Papa Smurf. Well,
I would be kind of funny, But I just you
got to keep the water really clear and probably put
some lighting at the bottom of this, like a like
(50:19):
your hot tub, to make sure that.
Speaker 4 (50:21):
The lining is seen. But even then, are we defacing
the National Mall's pool and making it more noticeable. Well,
that's not in the point.
Speaker 1 (50:29):
He's not putting his face. You know, at the bottom
of it, the water's going to be clear, so you
can see this face.
Speaker 4 (50:34):
I understand what you're saying. I'm also just saying that,
you know, I think the point of the water was
not to notice the water. It was symbolic that it
was there, but it's not supposed to be like the
star of the show.
Speaker 1 (50:45):
I can't imagine Trump puts his face there at the
bottom of the reflecting pool.
Speaker 4 (50:49):
Would you be that surprised? Would you be surprised if
it happens.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
I wouldn't be surprised what happened, and I wouldn't be
surprised when the TDS victims go, look, guys, a bathroom.
We got Greg Wagner here. Don't do breamo, Amory. You're
a wrestling fan. You recognize that theme song? Is that?
Uh is jail Billy Jam?
Speaker 4 (51:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (51:15):
Greg Wagner from Nebraska. Thanks, thanks a lot for being
here today. Man, Yeah, talk to you next week. Greg.
You you got Emory Songer as your host next week?
Here he's a camper, a hiker. Ye talk outdoors? Yeah
big time.
Speaker 4 (51:27):
You want to just come co host the show?
Speaker 1 (51:28):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (51:29):
Wait, I have yes, Sorry.
Speaker 1 (51:31):
No, I'm a good guest, but no, no, Well let's
let's see about that. From the from pressure from Nebraska
Game and Parks, Greg Wagner, all right, fishing first, what
do we know? Obviously we always talking about the weather, tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (51:44):
Maybe probably Sunday wash out.
Speaker 1 (51:47):
I don't think so.
Speaker 7 (51:48):
But uh, we have a good crappy bite right now,
not crappy, crappy croppy, good crappy bite right now as
they move into the shallows their pre spawn. As we
talked the fishing lingo, folks are using jigs and minnows,
minnows where you can use them, and wind swept shoreline
is going to be the ticket. And water TIMPs are
(52:09):
still chilly, buddy, So yeah, fish slow.
Speaker 1 (52:11):
Yeah. What about hunting this weekend? Spring turkey hunting.
Speaker 7 (52:14):
Greg Wagner had success just a couple of days ago
and bumped up numbers of birds out there. And I
think today is a great day to spring wild turkey
hunt with your hot gun or with your boat tomorrow, Okay,
and then the wind picks up. The enemy of the
spring turkey hunter is wind and rain, and so we'll
have a couple of days give the birds a break.
Speaker 1 (52:36):
Yeah, that'd be good. So the wind not impacting the mushrooms,
I mean some very strong strong winds, But what about
the rain yesterday? And we had a lot of scotty.
Speaker 7 (52:48):
It was spotty scotty and we needed more, but every
little bit helps. So we still are finding morell mushrooms
along the river bottom woodlands and their dead and became
true trees.
Speaker 1 (53:00):
So still hunt. Now, what you're battling.
Speaker 7 (53:03):
Is a lot of vegetation, a lot of greenery as
it gets taller, just like your yard, taller and taller.
She got to slow down doing that too, and really
look around.
Speaker 1 (53:12):
Those dead cottonwood trees. And on the outdoor bulletin board, Greg.
Speaker 7 (53:16):
It's Arbor Day, Arbor Day celebration, Nebraska City Arbor Day message.
Plant a native Nebraska tree, one, I would suggest, is
a cool one. It's not big, It's a shrub like tree,
produces food for you and critters.
Speaker 1 (53:29):
The choke cherry, the choke cherry, the choke cherry. All right,
you like it? Beautiful that a spring blossom tree cherry
kind of I would think, right, Great, Greg Wagner, have
a great weekend, you buddy see it. Thank you very
much from Nebraska Game in Parks. That is Greg Wagner
here on Nebraska's Morning News
