Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's going to be frigid this weekend. But on the
bright side, very very small risk of swarms of mosquito
bothering you while you're out. Always got to look on
the bright side. I'm Scott Vhe's here with Lucy Chapman,
Jim Rose, who will be detailing very exciting basketball game
last night, one that was maybe a bit more exciting
(00:20):
than it should have been. But that Cragon game is amazing.
We've got that for you coming up here. And we've
got Chris Turner in for Craig Evans this morning. Craig
out for the rest of the week, but not for
the same reason everyone else has been. He's he's not sick.
He's in Vegas because that's how Craig Evans lives.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
You.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
We just imagine Craig Evans in Vegas right now.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I can't picture it.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Hey, you want to hit on this twenty Yeah, play
it on black, put it on black, another black, good
on black. And that's Jim Rose. I love President Trump's humility.
(01:06):
At what do you know? We set up this board
of peace and this is by the way, after let's
see timeline. Is he told all these nations, you guys
are gonna join this Board of Peace, and you're gonna
pay a bunch of money to join this Board of Peace.
And you're gonna let the United States have greenland and
(01:27):
or big tariffs, and who knows what else we might
invade all of your countries. And these foreign leaders are like,
you're bluffing. And then Trump goes to the media and says,
here's all the text messages from these foreign leaders. Look
at this, here's what McCrone said. They think I'm bluffing.
I'm not bluffing. Here's his phone number. And then he
goes to that World Economic Forum in Davos and says,
(01:49):
you know, I'm just gonna remind you people that without
the United States, you'd all be speaking German and maybe
a little Japanese. So gut and tag and eat ta document,
you people. And the meanwhile, the German guy's like, we
do speak German. What's this problem. So then finally they're like,
all right, all right, we'll join the Board of Peace. Okay,
(02:14):
it's time to elect a chairperson for the Board of
Pairs for Board of Peace. Who's it gonna be, Uh
you mister, Oh my gosh, I'm honored. I can't believe it.
What do you know? They made me the CEO or
whatever of the Board of Peace. And he was like surprised.
Can you imagine any of these world leaders being technically
(02:36):
in charge of the Board of Peace with Trump on
the board? All right, here's what we're gonna do today.
It's not not what I would do. All right. Oh okay,
we haven't even gotten started. Donald, what do you think
we should do? Well, I'll tell you what. Greenland looks
pretty nice, all right, So once again we're talking about Greenland.
(02:58):
So he's like, they made me the chairperson of the
Board of Piece. I can't believe it. It's amazing nice people.
And so now we've got a Board of Peace. And look,
you can mock it as much as you want. Lucy,
she keeps a tote board on such things. Have there
been any wars since yesterday afternoon?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Well, let's go to the board, flip those letters and
and nothing.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
No, ahl right, So there you go, zero wars since
the Board of Peace, headed up by President Donald J. Trump,
has been implemented. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
And Lucy, thank you very much for getting out the board.
I know that's it's kind of bulky, but I appreciate
you bringing it around.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Can you imagine how boring life is going to be
in three years with.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
No wars without Trump? Yeah, well, but that goes back
to what I said a moment ago. So let's say,
in this future potential reality, J. D. Vance is the
President of the United States. How often do you think
his phone is buzzing? Hang on, guys, I gotta take this. Yes, yes, Donald, Okay.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, no, truly sleeps like three hours.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I know. Yeah, he's and uh so he's gonna be
just calling. He's probably gonna be at the White House.
He's gonna be all keeps calling, all caps messages. Yeah,
calling and calling. He's gonna keep calling me and calling me.
And if I'm not mistaken, that's your eighties movie reference
for this segment of the radio program. Are we both thinking, yes,
(04:38):
sir Ferris Bueller's day off.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Absolutely, he's gonna keep calling me.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I think I see my dad. Fantastic stuff. All right,
we are underway here on this Thursday morning. Christen for Craig,
I'm Scott, there's Lucy, there's Jim. I figure we're on
a first name basis from time to time here on
K what KFAB News Radio eleven ten KFA B. Thank
(05:05):
you so much for hanging out here with us, Scott
at KFAB dot com. That's how you get yourself into
these ancers custom woods inbox. I wonder if now President Trump,
who says that the framework is in place for the
United States to have some territorial foothold in Greenland, I
wonder if now that would mean that Jeff gets to
(05:27):
go to the dogs led Race.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I'm Jeff.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Thankfully Jeff is here this morning. Jeff went, I'm are
you waking up a little goofy?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
No, there's a there's a meme out there and every
time a dog is kind of goofy. Yeah, the voiceoverss,
I'm Jeff.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I'm Jeff.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
No, I not familiar and if you've missed that, I
will find it for.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I'm sure you will. I get weird memes from Lucy
at odd times of the day, night, weekend.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Jeff in this case is the governor of Louisiana. Now
he wanted to go to the dogs led Race in
Greenland because he serves as President Trump's envoy to Greenland. Yeah,
there's an envoy to Greenland, and we figured well, Greenland
is this giant block of ice. There's hardly anyone there,
(06:27):
you know who would be at home there a guy
who spends a lot of his time on Bourbon Street. Right,
it's practically the same thing. You need to cool off
a little bit, right, go to Greenland. I mean, green
is part of the color scheme of Marty Grass. You're green,
(06:47):
your gold, you're purple. It's right there.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
So damn how can he be away from New Orleans
right now?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Well, they haven't gotten underway with that. You know, it's
coming up. It's coming up. Yeah. The governor of Louisiana
who serves as President Trump's envoy to Greenland. I wonder
if when he took that job he realized it would
be such a powder keg of controversy, Like what do
I do as envoy of Greenland? Well, every year they
have a marquee event. It's a dog sled race. Do
(07:16):
I have to go? Yeah? You gotta go to the
dog sled race. Okay, it's gonna be cold there. Oh yeah,
it's gonna be freezing.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
You gotta have a coat, don't you.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, No, I'm in Louisiana. I have a raincoat. It
rains eight times a day.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Here, he'll be issued a presidential park.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Up yes, And so he was gonna go to the
annual Big Dog sled race. And then once Trump was like,
I can't roll out killing every single one of them
up there, the dogs. I don't know, dogs people all,
I'll blow out the whole territory out of the sky.
It's not in the sky, mister president, I don't know.
(07:56):
And so after all of that and started coming up,
Greenland's like, you know what, we're not gonna take this anymore.
You're threatening our people, you're threatening our sovereignty, which we
don't technically have a right. Here's what we're gonna do.
Your guy, you're envoy. He's off the guest list. He's
not allowed to come. And that's what they did. They
(08:17):
took him. They dropped him from the guest list for
the dog sled race. And they're like, ha, what rude. Yeah,
and then Trump is like, all right, they're serious. We're
gonna you know, you wonder if he's like, bring me
the briefcase, mister president. I don't know if we need
to bomb Greenland. Because they took Jeff, they better put
(08:37):
him back up there. We're not gonna be snubbed. So
I wonder if now there everyone seems to be getting along.
It's looking much better now. I hope Jeff gets to
go watch those dogs run. That would be great. Scott
at kfab dot com. That's how you get yourself into
the Zonker's custom. With z inbox, Terry is asking the
(08:58):
same question a lot of high school football fans are
asking around here. He says, good morning. Say I do
like an email that starts off with an unnecessary say, say,
how much nil money does Millard South have that they
can just poll players from Chicago and Texas and Louisiana
(09:20):
and Louisiana. He's a five star prospect. What's going on here?
We last year we had a Millard South assistant football
coach suspended because he had players living in his house
and they got a slap and had to forfeit a game.
You know, outside the Metro Conference, is Millard South operating
(09:41):
like a college or professional football team? Because this is
what the coaches at Burke and Westview and South and
Northwest and Central North and even Well Prep's kind of
been operating a little bit along these lines. Well, I
mean that you got to pay to go there as
different as anyway, they can recruit a bit more, and
they always have, but Millard South is recruiting. And now
(10:05):
we got a kid transferring to Lincoln to drive every
day to Millard South. Here message right now for his
first period teacher. He's not going to be on time.
I'm talking about a high school kid commuting from Lincoln.
My son has to drive down the street and can't
make it to his first period class on time. What's
(10:27):
going on here, Jim.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
This is what's wrong with college and high school and
youth sports right now, Scott. The NSAA has eligibility rules,
and the first one is you got to live in
the district and your parents have to live in the
district of the school that you're attending. But there are exemptions,
and the biggest exemption is well, but then again, if
you register before May one of the previous year, meaning
(10:50):
May first of this year, because he'll be here for
next fall, then guess what, that domicile thing vaporizes. That's
absolutely got to change. The NSAA has got to crack
down on these transfers. Now, what's happening with Trey Taylor.
Trey Taylor is an excellent high school football player who
is a prospect to play at Nebraska, and he has
(11:11):
committed to Nebraska, and he's been very public about his support.
I mean social media posts all the time, go Big
Red doing Greg, go guys, blah blah.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
He's no dummy and apparently a heck of a football player.
He's a good football player. Now, I'm like, he wants
to be here, and all of these things you just
mentioned make me really root for this kid. And he
has been very a very frequent participant in the camp culture.
So he goes around the country and participates in these
quarterback camps, these elite academies, and he makes friends with
(11:41):
these other great players, like the two kids tay Ellis
and I'm at Hudson. These guys are outstanding prospects, one
from Texas, one from Louisiana who apparently they're thinking of
transferring to Millard South to So what we have as
a machine now, what we have as an industry now,
and somebody has to be the adult in the room
and say no trade.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
The most important thing that you do is go to school, Okay,
And it's disruptive for you to leave your high school
to Mount Carmel, Illinois, to come to Nebraska. So you're
going to stay right there. You're not going to mind South.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Number one.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Number two, if you want to move to Lincoln, your
family has to move to Lincoln. Then they have to
be here for a year, and you can go to
one of the Lincoln schools. You can go to BS,
you can go to Southeast, you can go to East.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
They don't make it.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
They don't make anyone to be here for a year.
This is the Rosarian plan. This is what a kid.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
So a family moves to Lincoln for a job. The
kid's not an athlete. He has to sit there for
a year until he can't participate in sports. He can
go to class, he just can't participate in sports. Because
this is what's happening, Scott. We're turning this into sports
factories and it will impact inner city schools. It will
cut down on participation. They will loot these schools of
(12:48):
quality talent, recruit them to these other high schools just
to form a powerhouse. It isn't right, and I know
I understand why it's happening. It's a financial deal. I
believe Trey Taylor's and I ll all is about eight
thousand dollars a month he's getting that from somebody, and
he's getting it from Nebraska. He's getting it from Boosters,
He's getting it from somebody. But it's like Dylan Ryola
(13:10):
moving from Chandler, Arizona to Buford, Georgia, just so he
could be close to Uga, and then he decommits from
Uga to take the money from Nebraska.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
You say this kid's getting eight thousand dollars a month.
I believe he's probably in that category a month. Oh
he's not driving himself to school, No, no, No, He'll have
an escalator. He'll have a Denali or an escalator, a
tahoe and somebody driving him.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
High school kid with a private driver from Lincoln to
Millard South. Not sure that's gonna happen. Not as possible,
private jet, helicopter.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
He has no business going to Millard South unless his
family moves to Omaha.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
No one cares.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
So his dad can work for Baxter Automotive or TD Mariage,
Charles Schwab or whatever. But to just say, you know what,
I want to be closer to the Nebraska program, So
I'm going to transfer to the powerhouse high school football
team in Nebraska.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
That's got to stop the.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
NSAA has to step in and say no, no, no. If
we don't work in a world of what's best for
your football career, we work in a world of what's
best for participation in extracurricular activities.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
And this isn't it. We're only a few years removed
from the situation where Gretna won a high school class
A state championship and they had a big banner that
they were ready to put up and all that fun stuff.
They completely earned it. But then someone looked and said,
wait a second, there's a kid on that Dragon's team.
(14:29):
His dad lives over here, mom lives over here. In
the paperwork they filed about his permanent residence after his
parents split up involves him living with a parent who's
not in the districts, even though he spends half the
time with the other parent who is in the district
It's a paperwork dispute, and these adults in the room
stripped Gretna of their state championship title in one of
(14:52):
the most ridiculous decisions I've ever seen. We're talking about
a kid who had parents going through a divorce, and
we're also talking about a kid who I think caught
one pass for four yards or something like that in
the title game. That was a terrible decision. And that
wasn't forty years ago, that was what four five, five
(15:13):
years ago? Seven years ago? I have no concept of
time anymore. But now we can have this going on
where a kid just like just I'm gonna come in
there and go to the IMG Academy of the Heartland
aka Millard South High School, And everyone's like, well it
goes and what what's Millard South schedule look like this year?
(15:33):
Buena Vista Colin, You know, I think they've married Marion.
They're not playing Mercy anymore. The eight guys that they
got suited up for Benson. You know, these guys go
out there and they either don't play the game or
they quit at halftime. What why won't they at least
set things up to where the best Class A, the
(15:56):
biggest best Class A schools play each other, and then
you got another tier of teams that play each other.
Maybe that would be the lower Class a's and the
bigger class piece and let's at least make some real
competition because what they've been doing, all of this is stupid.
Now I realize I am so old. Here's how old
I am. I remember Jim when the players used to
(16:18):
put their mouthpieces in their mouth rather than just let
them dangle from the face mask because it's drippy. You know,
we used to put them in our mouth. That was
to protect our toofs. So that's how old I Aarents
spent four thousand dollars on orthodone braces. Yeah, that's how
old I am. But now all of this is just
a free for all. That's where we are.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
It's it's it's just the antithesis of what should what
should govern high school sports. It's not about the team
you're playing on. It's about the opportunity. It's not about
the wins and how this will enhance, at least it
hasn't been how this will enhance your NIL prospects, how
this will enhance your credentials for a major college or
(17:01):
professional gig. It's about growing up with the same kids
going through peewee football, midget football, and then high school
football together so that you can have a complete experience academically, socially, culturally.
What this does is this isolates the athletes. I'm here
for one reason. I'm going to Millard South, not because
(17:22):
it's a good school. Not because I grew up here,
not because the teachers are outstanding, not because the families
are solid, but because they have the best football team
in the state, and that's going to help me get
more NIL money. That's not what high school sports is
supposed to be, and it's having a very very dramatic effect.
It's tamping down participation because we're seeing powerhouses get built
(17:45):
through money. He has no business living in Lincoln and
going to a high school in Omaha unless he grew
up in Omaha. His mom and dad moved to Lincoln
for whatever professional or personal reasons, and he wants to
finish his high school career back at his old high school.
That's the only to me explanation for living in Lincoln
and attending Millard South. But here's the other thing that
(18:07):
we don't know, and the same thing happened with Dilan Royola.
His family moved from Chandler, Arizona to be for Georgia,
forty five minutes from the UGA campus because he committed
to Georgia. Well, how many snaps did Dilan Royola play
for Georgia. Well, at last count, zero, there's still time.
There's still time, and he might yet still transfer to
Georgia Trey Taylor. I don't know if you've seen the
(18:28):
quarterback room, Son, It's not empty. We have lots of
good players. There's a chance you'll never play quarterback here.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah. But from that standpoint, he's doing what he should
be doing. He should be going to the homecoming dance.
He should be he should be in Decca. He shouldn't
be worried about playing football at Millard South. And then
as soon as Millard South practice is over, you go
back to Lincoln and hang out with the Huskers. You'll
got plenty of time. Where is mom and dad here?
(18:57):
Where is his coach here? Where is the coach which
at Millard's South? Saint Son? Don't do this. You need
to stay where you are in Illinois.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
If you want to come back to Nebraska for home games,
that's great, But you need to be a high school kid.
You're only a high school kid one time. You could
be a professional athlete the rest of your life. But
where are the adults in the room here? And I
swear to god, it is killing high school sports. It's
killed off legion baseball, it's killing off participation, to say
(19:26):
nothing of letting boys play on girls teams and the
downward pressure that has on girls participation. Where are the adults?
Please show me? Where are the forty year olds here?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I don't want to hold your hand physically, but figuratively,
I'm holding your hand on this. I'm holding your hand
on this. But again, we're very, very old. Nebraska State
Auditor Mike Foley is accusing city officials in Bellevue, specifically
Bellevue's city administrator and finance director a pull on a
fast one on the taxpayers. Now, Mayor Rusty Hike Bellevue
(20:00):
says no, no, no, no, and then he says, quote,
I could not disagree more with the State Auditor. I
fully stand behind our policy that they followed policy and
they didn't do anything wrong. All right, So what is
alleged to have been happening in Bellevue, according to State auditor, Fully,
(20:22):
the city has these city vehicles and after a time,
it's like, all right, this vehicle is getting too old.
It's like probably eight or nine months old. Can't possibly
drive that anymore. So I don't know what the timeframe is,
but they get these vehicles and then they list them.
There's a whole auction platform, gov Deals, goov deals GOV deals,
(20:46):
you know, like the kind that Governor Pillens alleged to
have made. You know, No, these are different. These are
GOV deals for taxpayer funded vehicles that taxpayers or other municipalities,
or Lucy Chapman or anyone can go on there and
you can get in the online auction and go, yeah,
I need a plow truck or one of these little
sedans that these guys drive all over the state or whatever,
(21:08):
and I can get a good deal in a car.
So they put these vehicles online for the auction, and
then sometimes before the auction got going or even before
it ended, they'd pull it and go, no, no, we're
not gonna sell this one, and then the vehicle would
end up being sold to someone who lives in the
vicinity of the aforementioned city administrator in the city of Bellevue.
(21:32):
The allegation here is that they were taking these vehicles
and rather than selling them for more money in the auction,
they would just pull it from the auction and sell
it for a lot less money to a friend or
family member there in Bellevue, and state auditor fully says
that's wrong. The reason we have these things set up
(21:54):
here with the auctions is because you get a lot
more money in the auction that goes back into the city.
They can buy new vehicles or maintenance on current vehicles.
And Mike Foley says that it's a slap in the
face to taxpayers. They're being stiffed. I don't like being stiffed.
So they're fighting a little bit there, back and forth
(22:15):
between the State Auditor's Office and the City of Bellevue. Again,
City of Bellevue says, we didn't do anything wrong. This
is not a violation of our policy. I think it's
certainly based on the allegations. Looks bad. Does not have
a good look, unless you got one of those trucks,
in which case it looks great. Greg Evans out until Monday.
(22:39):
Chris Turner there filling in with our headlines every fifteen minutes,
Lucy Chapman with Timesaver traffic and whatever else she wants
to do. Jim Rose with sports brief momentarily and whatever
else he wants to do. And I'm Scott Vorhees here
just kind of staring at the circus around me in
wide eyed wonder. But if I'm I announce on a
(23:01):
personal note here, I don't like to brag, but my
son just got an ni nil deal to play JV
ping pong for Scott's Bluff Senior High School. And so
he's he's gonna commute. Who we're still working, don't worry.
I'm gonna stay here in Omaha and he's going to
commute from our home here in northwest Omaha to Scott's
(23:22):
Bluff every single day. And he's got It's not a
lot of money coming in for JV ping pong, but
you know it's it's a little bit, and he's excited
about it. I still got to convince his mother this
is a fine idea. He'll be home for dinner eventually
and it's going to be fantastic. So yeah, that's that's great.
Since athletes can just drive all over God's Green Earth
(23:45):
and go play and apparently get money in high school,
now that's what we can do.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Has it ever been the occasion that a kid and
I hears me sports ball that you see with the.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Sports ball take here, let's see hot take coming right
that a kid.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
In ninth or tenth grade just going into high school
who's not that great, but pretty good and he could
certainly improve through those three years in high school. He
improves into a great football player, and now he has
no advantage because all these other.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
No carpetbaggers carpet Yeah, hey, that's one way of describing them.
We are common baggers coming in held at a school.
You are not from here. That a line out of
Gone with the Wind. I'm sure I think I was
doing It's like nineteen thirties Congress on that one. He
(24:36):
was doing a young though. He was doing a young
Thoborn Horn's a it's a young it's a it's an
old congressman from South Carolina circa nineteen thirty two. It's like,
I say, his son, you be a common bag you
are not from here. So a lot of times you'll
see these these eighth graders that are just monsters in
(24:57):
football or basketball, and they're like, hey, this kid's gonna
be really good. I would say, if there's money to
be spent on these guys, take that money. Don't hold out,
because a lot of times that eighth grade monster stops
growing and suddenly you're not gonna see him in that
picture of the varsity basketball team in twelfth grade, because
that former center is now guard height and no one's
(25:20):
giving him any money for basketball anyway. So if you
can get that money, I guess take it. But as
far this is the problem I think so many parents have,
and this is the culture in which we are rearing
our kids, and that is everyone thinks that they need
to go pro, they need to get noticed, they need
to have social media presence. And dads buy into this,
(25:41):
and they're like, all right, we're gonna go to this
camp because they got great coaches and a DJ, and
they're gonna have a mixtape that they're gonna put together.
In my kid, we can send that to colleges and
we can get that money and all the rest of
that stuff. Look, your kids probably not gonna go pro.
Probably not gonna go pro. Cool players go pro. One
(26:01):
percent your assessment. A few months ago at the Rosie
de GENOZI saying, let's look ten years ago, the twenty
fifteen All State baseball team, and let's see how many
of these guys sniffed pro ball. One of them did? Two?
Was it two? Cole Stobie.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
No, well he never got to the majors. Yeah, but
he sniffed Alec Baum and Jake Myers and you know,
Matt Waldron. But the truth is that this is a
fantasy that has been sparked by an industry of people
that I consider Charlatan's. They pray on a kid's dreams,
(26:38):
they pray on a parent's dreams, and they say, if
you just pay me all this money, I'll turn your
kid into a professional prospect, whether it's a basketball player,
baseball player, football player, volleyball player.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
And it's unfortunate. We're in a free country.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
There should be no government regulation of that, but there
should be common sense, you know, intrusion, and that just
does not happen. What's happened is families have really really
struggled because the financial commitment to try and get their
kid a scholarship and ultimately a pro contract can be very,
(27:16):
very burdensome. And then down the road they look back
and said, what did we spend all of that money on.
They don't even have any relationships anymore. At the time,
they had relationships maybe with some of the other parents,
but those have all frittered away because either their kid
went on to the next level or didn't, and then
they disappeared. The investment is a horrible investment. If you
(27:36):
were to go to one hundred financial planners and tell
them what your plan is, they would say that is
not a good use of money.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Either your kid pans out or and this happens a
lot too, your kid gets burned out. That happens like
I don't want to play, I don't want to do
gymnastics or whatever. Volleyball, swimming, college happens all the time.
All right, More sports free more Jim Rose.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Very good, Scuy, Good morning, everybody. Bittersweet night for Husker basketball.
They win again, seventy six sixty six over Washington, go
to nineteen and zero. But in the time warn tradition
of Husker fans, we managed to find a cloud to
stuff inside a silver lining.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Braden Frager was injured, turned an ankle.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Everybody's got to be ready to step up in his
absence and in contributed. I thought, guys did that tonight.
You know, we've got guys that I think, with everything
that we've done or are built to play big minutes,
and we're gonna have to probably change some things in
practice now. And you know, we get pretty physical with
them at times with when we have to, but may
(28:35):
have to change that up a little bit now.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Coach Fred Hoiberg about what's next the freshman all America candidate,
the most talented player on an undefeated team, came out
of the locker room in the second half in a
walking boot.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
What he really needed is a It was a shaft
a little black dreams comes you can't. It was a wish.
It was full of but.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Just be hey, it's gonna be four below. So we
need a wishing bood for Braden Frager. Even if it's
not broken, this is gonna be sore for the rest
of the year and that doesn't help wishing bood.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I'm gonna have that song in my head all weekend.
That's cold. That's the coldest seventeen in Omaha, Council Bluffs
nineteen and Lincoln Boxing.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
KFAB News updates next. Yes, okay, this is our show.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
My friend. I am Scott Voarh He's here with Jim
Rose and Lucy Chapman, Chris Turner in for Craig Evans,
Courtney Donaho as well. This is Nebraska's morning news news
Radio eleven ten KFAP. Let's take a look at a
track record here. Who says that you can't get things
done on spite? Spite is a powerful motivator. Now, I
(29:50):
don't have the knowledge end of sentence. No, I don't
have the knowledge to be able to especially look at
various business deals in Manhattan and elsewhere that Trump did
back in the eighties and nineties that were done out
of spite. But let's look at a couple other things.
President at the time, just business mogul media darling Donald J.
(30:13):
Trump wanted a buy in with the National Football League
NFL said no, we're not going to let you be
an owner. He's like, okay, And he didn't start the USFL,
but he's certainly credited with infusing the USFL with a
ton of money. And that's when they started really taking
(30:35):
away Marquee college football players, Heisman Trophy winners from going
rather to the NFL, going to like the New Jersey
Generals or the Birmingham Bulls or whatever USFL team Jacksonville Bulls,
Birmingham Stallion. Was that, Oh, thank you very much. It's
a long time ago. Not for me, not for me.
(30:58):
So let's see here Trump on an NFL team. They said,
he's all right, herschel Walker, come on over, Doug Flutie,
let's go. You know, this is what he did out
of spite. Fast forward here to the PGA tour. He
had a nice relationship with the PGA Tour. They had
(31:18):
an annual stop in Miami at the Blue Monster at
Durrell Trump International at Durrell in Florida, and then Trump
said something about, yeah, that Mexico's sending their criminals here. Oh.
Trump just called all the Mexican criminals. And suddenly the
PGA Tour pulled that tour stop from Trump's place, gave
it to Mexico. Trump's like, all right, I see how
(31:40):
this is going. A few years later, amazingly, some of
Trump's buddies he plays golf with leave the PGA Tour
for live golf, and live golf plays a lot of
their tour stops at Trump owned golf facilities around the world.
Let's see here. President Obama called out Donald Trump at
(32:00):
the White House correspondence dinner and said, yeah, dud, Donald
thinks he could be president. Everyone had a good laugh,
and Trump just sat there with the BMus look in
his face. I don't even think he was planning on
running for president. I don't think he was seriously planning
on running for president twenty six. No, this is like
twenty twelve, twelve thirteen, something like that, and Trump's like, Okay,
(32:23):
you guys are all gonna laugh, all right, watch hold
my diet coke and watch this. I think that he
ran for president out of spite. And now now we've
got the Board of Peace, billion dollar buy in. Everyone's
invited pay the money be on the Board of Peace. Now,
why in the world would we suddenly be putting together
(32:44):
a cabal of sixty nation world leaders, a bunch of
tech giants, business leaders to sit on this Board of Peace.
I thought we already had that. It was the United Nations.
What has the United Nations been saying about President Trump
over the years. Nothing good. NATO has had the problems
with him, UNS had problems with Trump. Trump's like, I
(33:07):
don't know why we bother to give money to these guys.
They're effeckless, spineless institution. I don't want anything to do
with them. Let's build our own. Let's the usfl of
world bodies.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
What it is, This is the Board of Peace, it's
the New Jersey Generals of International Diplomas is. And the
thing is that a lot of folks continue to underestimate
about Donald Trump is what his motivation is. His motivation
is a economic vitality. Money He does this for the money.
He ran for president for the money, and I think
(33:39):
he really cares about the country. He wouldn't get shot
and keep coming back if he didn't really care about
the country. But he also looks at it as a
business deal. It's like Gaza. We're going to turn Gaza
into a luxury beachside resort community. Why because everybody would
get rich. And this is what he's been trying to
convey to the rest of the world for the last
ten years. And that is why fight and you can
(34:00):
be rich. Okay, everybody wants me. Everybody wants the private plane,
the stretch limousines, and the swimsuit model for a wife.
Everybody wants what I have. It's great. And he's finally
convincing these leaders, why do you guys fight each other?
Why don't you make money?
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Yeah? Why would you? Why?
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Why would you persecute your people when they can make
you rich. That's what he's conveying to the Iranians, but
he conveyed to the saudiast why would you crap on
the people when they can make you even more rich
and powerful and influential.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Trump International Pyongyang great place we can get Brooks cap
get a play over there and be fantastic. He said.
It's what he said to Rocketman.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
He walked over there and said, dude, your country can't
even grow any food. Okay, why would you want this?
Why don't you look at South Korea. Those guys are rich,
they have electricity. The lights are on in South Korea
and yours aren't. Why would you continue to behave this way?
He's going, maybe this is this is how Donald Trump functions.
(35:03):
Everybody wants to all those world leaders want to be
Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Yeah, and I'm not saying that Trump's only motivation to spite.
I've talked with people who have met with the President,
who have gone to him with grievances, their kids have
been killed, they want justice, you know, in various forms.
This is kind of where ice comes from and some
other things here. And he honestly listens to them. And
it's not about like, hey, we're gonna put together a
border a committee and see what we can do sometime
(35:28):
between now and the end of time. He's like, what
can we do today? He gets stuff done. He is
not messing around. And I'm saying that too, but a
lot of his motivation seems to be spite. And now
we've got the Board of Peace, the live gulf of
international diplomacy. We'll see how that goes. They're billion dollars
buy in. I haven't been invited. Chris Turner in for
(35:52):
Craig Evans. Of course. Lucy Chapman is here with a
very cool green shirt on. If you stood in front
of one of those green screens, you would look like
you had no body.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
I'm looking for one green screen, not a body. Got
plenty of that.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
All right again, hold off on your emails. I got one.
Ch can use Calm down, everyone calmed down. We got
sports and the grow Omaha minute. Momentarily. We talked a
lot this morning about this transfer from Chicago who wants
to go to Millard South by way of Lincoln, Nebraska,
so we can be closer to the Nebraska football team
(36:29):
that he is committed to. And we're just kind of wondering, like,
how's he going to get to school? My kid lives
down the street from our school. Can't make it to
first period on time. If he had to commute to
Lincoln every day, I don't think we'd ever see him again.
This teachers wouldn't see him. He'd get lost He's like,
(36:49):
I'm in school, Like, what school, Ashland. That's not your school.
I just you just said to go to school. I
don't know which. Like, that's my kid on a roll
by the way, So how's this kid gonna get to school?
Why I got this email? This is nice. Always great
to have important people listening to the show. Scott at
kfab dot com Zonker's custom wo's inbox says, Dear Scott,
(37:12):
maybe we could find some tiff money to finance a
high speed light rail between Lincoln and Omaha so football
players can get to school on time. Signed Gene Stothard.
This doesn't appear to be her email address.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
All look like her handwriting.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
No, I'll confirm whether or not that's actually her. If
it is not her, I'm gonna get a text message
in a moment. Now I'm gonna get eighteen text messages
in a moment. Wow, it's amazing. If President Trump says
something threatens, something sends something up the flagpole, the markets go, well,
(37:49):
this is it. It's all gonna end. We're gonna everything's
gonna go to zero and I'm getting out now, and
everyone sells everything. They're like, prepare for World War three.
In the bottom to drop out of the stock market,
and then like a day later, the president achieves exactly
what he was looking to achieve, and the stock market
people come out from under their desks and they're like, oh,
(38:09):
the world didn't end well by buying that stock. Now
that only happens every freaking time that the President says anything.
Good morning. I'm Scott Vorhees, Jim Rose is right there,
right there, Lucy Chapman here, and Chris Turner in for
Craig Evans, Courtney Donaho as well. Together we form a
(38:31):
radio mutant known as Nebraska's Morning News on news Radio
eleven ten kfab Jim, you can't discount that this kid
from Chicago who's committed to play football for Nebraska and
is going to attend Millard South by way of living
in Lincoln and commuting every day to Millard South because
transfer and housing rules be darned. You can't discount the
(38:55):
fact that he said he was going to do this
yesterday right after Gretna announce that they're getting the BUCkies.
You heard the news there tourism because we got a
gas stations in a convenience store that seventy five pumps
if you're thinking, well, BUCkies and that the dog and
the thing that's that's BUCkies. Come on, please, this is
(39:17):
buck this is this is BUCkies. You're thinking of BUCkies.
This is BUCkies, and BUCkies is gone. Now BUCkies is
now Casey's. This is the BUCkies. B U C C
dash e s right, We're not talking about BUCkies. That's cases.
We're talking about BUCkies. That's BUCkies. I don't know why
people are confused, b U C dash ees. Why apostrophe?
(39:37):
Why does why is it called that? What does that mean?
Probably somebody's daughter. Why do we have someone's daughter, someone's
daughter buckie? They named it. They named a billion dollar
corporation after their daughter. Well, Wendy's did it, and that
worked out, Okay, Wendy's did Burger King. That was someone daughter's.
Kentucky Fried Chicken, Little Kentucky Fried Chicken. Hey, little Kentucky
(39:59):
Fried Chicken. Hey, I got an idea little KFC. You
know there's probably someone going that could be an nil deal.
If I name my child raising canes, do I get?
We'll give you some free sauce sold. Hey.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
Look, if you're Nebraska coach Matt Ruhle, or you're creating
basketball coach Greg McDermott. You're looking for somebody named Bucky,
and you know you got dollar signs bouncing around. If
we can get somebody named Bucky, just walk right up
and say Hi, Hi, Bucky.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
I had the coldest. We we have a gas stage.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
Oldest Crawford is down in Louisiana where it doesn't get cold.
Might get cold this weekend.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
He's missing the opportunity to continue to sell his name
the oldest. I'm the coldest. I'm the coldest. I here,
it's going to be the coldest. Do we need a
gas station? You can see from space.
Speaker 4 (40:48):
Oh, there's a Flying J right across the street. I'm
not aware why we need another one.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Where is this going? This is right across from Nebraska Crossings?
I think.
Speaker 4 (40:57):
Okay, so we're out there at the You got that
biginner section out there as you're coming from Lincoln up
on your right as the Flying J. You get off
there and you can zap over the bridge and hit
Nebraska crossing. This is going to be directly east of
the Flying J.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Okay, Well that's yeah, that one there where it kind
of shares that parking lot area with McDonald's not real
easy to get. That's on the that's on the that's
at Nebraska. This is what this would be the southeast
corner of that interchange. Okay, so if you can imagine
the southeast corner, that's all the seventy five pump gas
station right across the interstate from Nebraska crossing Mall to
(41:32):
the south. Okay, well, it's that's what we need in Nebraska,
another gas station. Look, I'll I'll pop in there. You
guys got a little chocolate donuts. We've got rows and
rows of little talking donuts. You could live in that
thing for a solid week.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
You got you got in the old Merle Haggard CDs
for three ninety nine, and here we got a whole
fact deck. I think this could be a KFA B
Nebraska's morning news experience, because Scott and Rosie live in
a Bucki's.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
For a week. Just live in it for a week.
Speaker 4 (42:05):
Everything you need, I'm in, Lucy, truck driver showers, Lucy,
you want to live at a gas station with us?
Speaker 1 (42:12):
Hey? Yeah, all right. If it can't be BUCkies, we'll
take any of them.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
Now, wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
That little Buchanan service center right by Children's Hospital. I
like those guys truck stops. I know if it's mister
mechanic guys one on fifty of the Dodge. But you
know what that little think. It's in Anderson Store, the
one there on No, no, no, that's that's the Buchanan
Service Center. And it's only about the size of most
people's California closets. Now I know, Steve, it has everything
(42:39):
I need. All I need is a pack of little
Chocolate donuts maybe uh a soda pop. They got all
that stuff. I know Steve still owns the one and
fifty of the Dodge that was the origin. I don't know.
I'm just saying that that was the original BUCkies. We
got millions of people and increasing tourism. We sold every
other one on to Casey's. We got increasing tourism because
we got a Bucky. I don't know how this increase
(43:00):
is tourism.
Speaker 4 (43:01):
I think that Nebraska crossings can drive some tourism, and should,
but why would why would somebody think a gas station
is a tourist destination. Now, I know it's impressive. Now
maybe for Scrancha it looks like a small airport. But
this what will drive tourism in Nebraska are youth sports
facilities that will drive tourism, Jim.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
For some families going to a big convenience store is
a heck of a trip, you elitist pig. You know,
we can't all go travel to the Copa cabana. You
know sometimes it's bucky.
Speaker 4 (43:32):
Now that is also Copa is a tourist destination out
there by one hundred and seventy six in the West Center.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
I think this BUCkies is going to have a Copa
cabana inside. Yeah, it'll be big. BUCkies looked at that
giant high V that's got an airport inside of it.
Looks like an airport and said, hold my, hold my
vanilla coke can watch this. Yeah, that that high V
in Gretna. It's daylight savings time on one end and
(43:59):
not on the other. You all got slim gyms in here. Oh,
we've got We've got variety. We got slim John's, we
got slim Greggs, slim Steves, you name it. We got
Slimdicoldest Scott atkfab dot com via the Zonker's custom was
inbox and a number of people saying, I don't know
why you guys are bagging on tourism being increased by
(44:19):
this convenience store in Gretna, the buck Gees new convenience
store opening up. Weren't you guys just talking about how
traffic was impacted down a West Maple by a new
coffee shop and people were coming from miles and miles
around to get a cup of coffee. This cup of
coffee is cheaper than Starbucks. How many Starbucks did you
(44:39):
pass when you left Carter Lake that morning to go
get a cup of coffee at one hundred and eightieth
in Maple? Did you factor in that cost? But you
know what, that's your life. You do what you gotta do.
Speaker 4 (44:49):
Well, tell me, tell me about this place that is
now at least know the coffee coffee drive through where
you had a mile and a half line.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
I don't I don't notice it. I don't drink coffee.
They have good hot chocolate.
Speaker 4 (45:00):
I drink coffee, but I've never drank that And I
don't know any why, Folks, this is not a rhetorical question.
We really do want to know, So email us in
and say this is why this place is so good.
I'd like to know, because you know, if it's good,
I'm gonna go well, although I'm pretty brand loyal to scooters.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Must be good. Look at all those people. Now as
far as BUCkies are they giving it away? I don't know,
only email. They have swimsuit models in the drive through.
What it's not one of those kind of places. Now
about BUCkies, Oi says, which one, the big one buck
or ours? Ease? Okay, every high school kid in grat
and I should have no excuse of not having a
(45:37):
job after this place opens. I walked into one of
these places in Amarillo for a drink and left sixty
five dollars later. The places are huge. Brian says my
high school friend relocated to Texas, and he emphatically regales
us with stories of the cleanliness of the buck EA's restrooms.
I'll hold my excitement down till I see if they
(45:59):
can bring these high standards across state lines. Oh, they
haven't seen anything. Do they seen what Nebraskans can do
to a bathroom? To a public restroom. You don't even
realize how bad the men's rooms are until you get
a daughter and you're out with her and you're like, Okay,
I gotta take my two year old daughter into the
men's room here and can help her out.
Speaker 4 (46:16):
What are you doing taking two year olds into men's rooms?
Because this is the side of you I didn't know existed.
She's like nineteen months old. She can't go into the
ladies room by herself. Well, where's mom?
Speaker 1 (46:26):
And I can't go? I'm out. Sometimes I take my
daughter out for a little daddy daughter.
Speaker 4 (46:30):
Time and out to the bathroom first. Well, that's the
thing you can't control. When these kids are gonna go.
They have to go at the worst possible times. And
you go into a men's public restroom in a convenience
store or something, and suddenly you're like, oh, don't touch anything, please, Yeah,
you haven't seen. We're gonna we're gonna shoot that reputation
(46:50):
that link bathrooms right to heck, pardon my language.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
All right, guys, let's see how old we are. Anyone
want to try and pretend like we are young and
hip and with it because every year now, every year, now,
no you can say six to seven, but that's not
going to count when I start giving you the list
of your Best Picture nominees for the upcoming Academy Awards.
(47:15):
This is the part of the program every year now
that I don't know what that age is where you
know you used to go to the movies. I still
like to go to the movies, but the problem is
now when I go to the movies, I forget immediately
what I saw and I end up having that conversation, Oh,
(47:35):
I just saw a great honey, what was that movie
we saw? I had that guy in it. So that's
that's me. Now I'll tell you what I did just
see that it was really good. Is this thing on
with Will Arnett? I like Will and Laura Dern Bradley Cooper.
It's a very sad movie involving stand up comedy. You're like,
how does that work? As it's not really about stand
(47:57):
up comedy. It's really really well done. But that's not
one of your best film nominees. H Here are your
best Picture nominees for the upcoming Academy Awards. I'll say
these out one by one. If there's any that you've seen,
let me know, in no particular order. Actually it is
in particular order. It's an alphabetical order that is a
(48:20):
particular order. Mind.
Speaker 4 (48:23):
The first one is Begonia. I've seen the previews, never
heard of it, no idea. You don't know either, and
you don't know, and you don't know, and none of
us know. Other one Franken or no f one. I'm
guessing that's about racing.
Speaker 1 (48:40):
Ah, sure, f one. Frankenstein. What's that about? I guess
they made a new Frankenstein movie? Or is it Frankenstein?
Speaker 3 (48:52):
Is it written kind of like in old English Frankenstein
in a kind of a cloudy gray night.
Speaker 1 (49:01):
I don't know, it's probably this is so Frankenstein's like
a left handed gay black man because it's Hollywood, and well,
we've got to have some diversity. Why does frank Stein
always have to be a white monster?
Speaker 2 (49:18):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (49:18):
Yeah, Frankenstein. Star is Abby Abby Abby normal?
Speaker 3 (49:25):
Ah? You got me.
Speaker 1 (49:27):
That's a seventies reference. There you go. That's young friend.
Up next in your best film nominees, Marty's Supreme. Nope, nope,
unless it stars Marty Short. I don't know that I
know anything about it now. The other one is on
my list, but that's this is on Netflix. I believe.
One Battle after Another? This is Leonardo DiCaprio, and I
(49:49):
do want to see this.
Speaker 3 (49:50):
Nope, what's the name of the movie?
Speaker 1 (49:52):
One Battle after Another?
Speaker 3 (49:53):
Well, what's the name of the movie?
Speaker 1 (49:54):
Though?
Speaker 4 (49:55):
One Battle one or another battle after Yeah, another about
one trying to have a conversation with Lucy chap You
see how many times one battle after another. So Leonardo
DiCaprio is pretty much defaulted to Netflix now he's not
doing major motion pictures in the studios in Netflix.
Speaker 1 (50:16):
So time out in the list and let's talk about this.
Do you guys still go to the theater rarely? Yeah?
The last one I went to was Nurburg. That was
like three years ago. It was November. It was Oh,
that's right, that one just got I'm thinking of something else,
But yeah, I like going to the movies. When I
was a high school kid, I worked at movie theaters. Here,
(50:39):
I need a co signer, but I love I love
taking my kid to the movies. But they've gotten expensive,
the concessions have gotten expensive, and plus that Hollywood's just
not given us as much to go see in the
theater compared to to your point, you've got a streaming
service to come right there to your TV at home,
(51:02):
and the price of two tickets. You can sit there
in your underwear and eat your food in your chair,
which a lot of people still do when they go
to the theater. They sneak in like a whole pizza
and they're just sitting there in their underwear on their phone.
You know, it's another thing. If someone's bothering me while
I'm watching the movie, I can pause it and just
stare at them until they go, I'm sorry. Were you
watching something? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (51:22):
I was?
Speaker 1 (51:24):
And so then we have that. You can't do that
at the theater. Can't pause the movie because you got
if you could, because you got to use the restroom.
Wouldn't that be fun if everyone had a button right
there in their seat. Yeah, this button reclines the seat.
This button you can have someone bring you a drink,
and this button pauses the movie. You know, Sorry everyone,
you already went. You just went twenty minutes ago. Sorry,
(51:45):
I've been draining a lot of water. Gotta get my fluids. Sorry,
I gotta go. How big is your bladder? Madam? You
know that pauses the movie and then and then you
know they come back and all right, unpause the movie.
And then two minutes later someone's like, sorry, I know
I should have gone when she went, Oh, come on.
Movies last probably longer than the previews before the movie.
(52:08):
So people put these movies out on the streaming services
because you're home and you're looking for something to watch.
But I don't know what they could put out in
movie form that is more compelling than say, Black Rabbit
on Netflix. That's Jason Bateman and Jude Law. That's an
eight episode series. It's amazing. What movie are they going
(52:32):
to put out that's better than that?
Speaker 3 (52:33):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (52:34):
Here's your next one up for Best Picture? The Secret Agent?
What's that about the Johnny Rivers song? Was that Johnny
Rivers did Secret Agent?
Speaker 2 (52:42):
Man?
Speaker 1 (52:43):
They get the Secret Agents about how they give you
a number and you forget your name or something like.
Speaker 3 (52:51):
Well, you know, Hollywood always tells you what's gonna happen
in the future.
Speaker 1 (52:55):
Then we have three more for Best Picture. Have any
of us seen any of the movies? We are influential,
important people who get out and do stuff. None of
us have seen any of this. We've only barely heard him.
Speaker 3 (53:10):
You.
Speaker 1 (53:11):
The last three are sentimental value. I'm surprised my wife
hasn't dragged me to that. I mean she will. And
then Sinners, which I this is what the kids are
all about, because it's got honey, who's that guy? You know,
the guy who plays Young Creed in the latest Rocky
Creed Movies Michael B. Jordan. He plays I think two characters.
(53:36):
It's like a vampire movie or something. It's called Sinners.
I've heard it's really good and I'll probably end.
Speaker 3 (53:42):
Up seeing I think not the movie with the whole
class of kids disappear.
Speaker 1 (53:46):
I don't know, but I that sounds terrible.
Speaker 3 (53:50):
It was a terrible movie. I don't even recall the
name of it. It was so bad.
Speaker 1 (53:55):
It was Children of the Corn. And then the final
one train dreams, Train dreams. This is this is just
a movie about my wife telling you about the dreams
she had last night where at starsof saying so I'm
on a train, and then the next hour worth of
narrative has nothing to do with the train ride or
(54:15):
being on the train, And then you're like, wait a second,
what is it by train? I'm getting to it, don't
rush me, never dream of it. So there there you
have it. Butgonia f one Frankenstein. I left one out,
Hamnit Hamnet not hamlet hamnt.
Speaker 3 (54:35):
Hant. Yeah, maybe it's about.
Speaker 1 (54:38):
Pork, Marty Supreme, one battle after another, the secret Agent,
sentimental value centers, and trained dreams. I'm still gonna watch
the Academy Awards, though two reasons. Number one, Conan O'Brien,
calm down, Everyone calmed down. We can get through this.
Hate the guy. That's fine, you don't have to lie.
I love Conan O'Brien. And then the other thing is
the in memoriam. I gotta see that so I can
(55:00):
sit there for three and a half minutes ago.
Speaker 3 (55:02):
What he died?
Speaker 1 (55:03):
How did I not hear that he died? She's dead?
Speaker 3 (55:07):
You know you have the internet.
Speaker 1 (55:09):
I thought that guy died twenty years ago. That's what
I do during the in memoriam. The Academy Awards are
coming up on I don't know, March March fifteenth, and
there you have it, your Best Picture nominees. None of
us have seen any of them. Thanks for being with
us here, because I imagine you're in the same boat.
You're in the right boat. Even if you saw all
of them. We're glad you're here. You're in the right place.
(55:31):
I'm trying to think which of the titles of those
Best Film nominees for your Oscar this year would best
describe the situation of Lynn Walls trying to be the
next governor of Nebraska. Probably one battle after another, This
would be the Nebraska Democrats party trying to get someone
elected to statewide office in Nebraska anymore, one battle after another.
(55:57):
Lynn Walls yesterday said all right, fine, I'll do it.
This is I think this is how the state Democrat
party finds their candidates anymore. It's just by virtue of default,
and you finally find someone who's like, well, we got
to have someone, right, you don't have anyone else to
run for state wide office. She's senator, secretary of state. Nothing,
(56:18):
She's a serious candidate. They all say they are, Well, no,
she is. She served as a state senator for eight years. Yeah,
elected in Lincoln, state senator. He's from Fremont. You know,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (56:30):
I think she's a better candidate than Carol Blood. If
you just look back at the Democrats that have been
laid waste over the last twenty thirty.
Speaker 1 (56:39):
Junior has a foot and a half into retirement. He's like,
no one else going to run for senate. You officially
buried his campaign.
Speaker 4 (56:46):
If you recall that conversation on this radio station that
was the end of President Love conversation you had with
him about abortion.
Speaker 1 (56:53):
As I recall, and I love Preston loved had no
business being he was. He goes face on a bus,
and I'm real happy for him that he was not
a serious candidate. But and I'm not really sure that
Bob christ was a serious candidate. I think he was
sort of just propped up there hi him and ran
against you know, a couple of q balls. But the
(57:15):
bottom line is this gal has a record of standing
up in a fairly conservative district and zero I'm just
laser focused on education issues. So she's going to make
education and what we're doing in our schools and what
the state should do with our schools as the cornerstone
(57:37):
of her campaign. And the one thing she's gonna do
is say, if it's me, I'm going to leave local
control to schools. He wants the state to pay for schools.
That will be her best argument against Jim Pillen. If
I'm Governor Jim Pillen, I would not call her the
name that I used that we talked about yesterday. I
would just keep calling her Tim Walls. Sorry, I'm sorry, wait,
(57:59):
what's her name? Sorry? Lynn Walls not Tim? Are they related?
That's not bad? That's what I keep doing well as
Tim Walls over the Lynn Walls over there. So that's
what I would do. She's serious. Senator Walls as a
serious person, and we'll see. All right, hey, I want
a good election. Let's go. This will be fun.
It's going to be frigid this weekend. But on the
bright side, very very small risk of swarms of mosquito
bothering you while you're out. Always got to look on
the bright side. I'm Scott Vhe's here with Lucy Chapman,
Jim Rose, who will be detailing very exciting basketball game
last night, one that was maybe a bit more exciting
(00:20):
than it should have been. But that Cragon game is amazing.
We've got that for you coming up here. And we've
got Chris Turner in for Craig Evans this morning. Craig
out for the rest of the week, but not for
the same reason everyone else has been. He's he's not sick.
He's in Vegas because that's how Craig Evans lives.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
You.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
We just imagine Craig Evans in Vegas right now.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I can't picture it.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Hey, you want to hit on this twenty Yeah, play
it on black, put it on black, another black, good
on black. And that's Jim Rose. I love President Trump's humility.
(01:06):
At what do you know? We set up this board
of peace and this is by the way, after let's
see timeline. Is he told all these nations, you guys
are gonna join this Board of Peace, and you're gonna
pay a bunch of money to join this Board of Peace.
And you're gonna let the United States have greenland and
(01:27):
or big tariffs, and who knows what else we might
invade all of your countries. And these foreign leaders are like,
you're bluffing. And then Trump goes to the media and says,
here's all the text messages from these foreign leaders. Look
at this, here's what McCrone said. They think I'm bluffing.
I'm not bluffing. Here's his phone number. And then he
goes to that World Economic Forum in Davos and says,
(01:49):
you know, I'm just gonna remind you people that without
the United States, you'd all be speaking German and maybe
a little Japanese. So gut and tag and eat ta document,
you people. And the meanwhile, the German guy's like, we
do speak German. What's this problem. So then finally they're like,
all right, all right, we'll join the Board of Peace. Okay,
(02:14):
it's time to elect a chairperson for the Board of
Pairs for Board of Peace. Who's it gonna be, Uh
you mister, Oh my gosh, I'm honored. I can't believe it.
What do you know? They made me the CEO or
whatever of the Board of Peace. And he was like surprised.
Can you imagine any of these world leaders being technically
(02:36):
in charge of the Board of Peace with Trump on
the board? All right, here's what we're gonna do today.
It's not not what I would do. All right. Oh okay,
we haven't even gotten started. Donald, what do you think
we should do? Well, I'll tell you what. Greenland looks
pretty nice, all right, So once again we're talking about Greenland.
(02:58):
So he's like, they made me the chairperson of the
Board of Piece. I can't believe it. It's amazing nice people.
And so now we've got a Board of Peace. And look,
you can mock it as much as you want. Lucy,
she keeps a tote board on such things. Have there
been any wars since yesterday afternoon?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Well, let's go to the board, flip those letters and
and nothing.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
No, ahl right, So there you go, zero wars since
the Board of Peace, headed up by President Donald J. Trump,
has been implemented. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
And Lucy, thank you very much for getting out the board.
I know that's it's kind of bulky, but I appreciate
you bringing it around.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Can you imagine how boring life is going to be
in three years with.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
No wars without Trump? Yeah, well, but that goes back
to what I said a moment ago. So let's say,
in this future potential reality, J. D. Vance is the
President of the United States. How often do you think
his phone is buzzing? Hang on, guys, I gotta take this. Yes, yes, Donald, Okay.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, no, truly sleeps like three hours.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I know. Yeah, he's and uh so he's gonna be
just calling. He's probably gonna be at the White House.
He's gonna be all keeps calling, all caps messages. Yeah,
calling and calling. He's gonna keep calling me and calling me.
And if I'm not mistaken, that's your eighties movie reference
for this segment of the radio program. Are we both thinking, yes,
(04:38):
sir Ferris Bueller's day off.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Absolutely, he's gonna keep calling me.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I think I see my dad. Fantastic stuff. All right,
we are underway here on this Thursday morning. Christen for Craig,
I'm Scott, there's Lucy, there's Jim. I figure we're on
a first name basis from time to time here on
K what KFAB News Radio eleven ten KFA B. Thank
(05:05):
you so much for hanging out here with us, Scott
at KFAB dot com. That's how you get yourself into
these ancers custom woods inbox. I wonder if now President Trump,
who says that the framework is in place for the
United States to have some territorial foothold in Greenland, I
wonder if now that would mean that Jeff gets to
(05:27):
go to the dogs led Race.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I'm Jeff.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Thankfully Jeff is here this morning. Jeff went, I'm are
you waking up a little goofy?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
No, there's a there's a meme out there and every
time a dog is kind of goofy. Yeah, the voiceoverss,
I'm Jeff.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I'm Jeff.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
No, I not familiar and if you've missed that, I
will find it for.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I'm sure you will. I get weird memes from Lucy
at odd times of the day, night, weekend.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Jeff in this case is the governor of Louisiana. Now
he wanted to go to the dogs led Race in
Greenland because he serves as President Trump's envoy to Greenland. Yeah,
there's an envoy to Greenland, and we figured well, Greenland
is this giant block of ice. There's hardly anyone there,
(06:27):
you know who would be at home there a guy
who spends a lot of his time on Bourbon Street. Right,
it's practically the same thing. You need to cool off
a little bit, right, go to Greenland. I mean, green
is part of the color scheme of Marty Grass. You're green,
(06:47):
your gold, you're purple. It's right there.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
So damn how can he be away from New Orleans
right now?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Well, they haven't gotten underway with that. You know, it's
coming up. It's coming up. Yeah. The governor of Louisiana
who serves as President Trump's envoy to Greenland. I wonder
if when he took that job he realized it would
be such a powder keg of controversy, Like what do
I do as envoy of Greenland? Well, every year they
have a marquee event. It's a dog sled race. Do
(07:16):
I have to go? Yeah? You gotta go to the
dog sled race. Okay, it's gonna be cold there. Oh yeah,
it's gonna be freezing.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
You gotta have a coat, don't you.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, No, I'm in Louisiana. I have a raincoat. It
rains eight times a day.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Here, he'll be issued a presidential park.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Up yes, And so he was gonna go to the
annual Big Dog sled race. And then once Trump was like,
I can't roll out killing every single one of them
up there, the dogs. I don't know, dogs people all,
I'll blow out the whole territory out of the sky.
It's not in the sky, mister president, I don't know.
(07:56):
And so after all of that and started coming up,
Greenland's like, you know what, we're not gonna take this anymore.
You're threatening our people, you're threatening our sovereignty, which we
don't technically have a right. Here's what we're gonna do.
Your guy, you're envoy. He's off the guest list. He's
not allowed to come. And that's what they did. They
(08:17):
took him. They dropped him from the guest list for
the dog sled race. And they're like, ha, what rude. Yeah,
and then Trump is like, all right, they're serious. We're
gonna you know, you wonder if he's like, bring me
the briefcase, mister president. I don't know if we need
to bomb Greenland. Because they took Jeff, they better put
(08:37):
him back up there. We're not gonna be snubbed. So
I wonder if now there everyone seems to be getting along.
It's looking much better now. I hope Jeff gets to
go watch those dogs run. That would be great. Scott
at kfab dot com. That's how you get yourself into
the Zonker's custom. With z inbox, Terry is asking the
(08:58):
same question a lot of high school football fans are
asking around here. He says, good morning. Say I do
like an email that starts off with an unnecessary say, say,
how much nil money does Millard South have that they
can just poll players from Chicago and Texas and Louisiana
(09:20):
and Louisiana. He's a five star prospect. What's going on here?
We last year we had a Millard South assistant football
coach suspended because he had players living in his house
and they got a slap and had to forfeit a game.
You know, outside the Metro Conference, is Millard South operating
(09:41):
like a college or professional football team? Because this is
what the coaches at Burke and Westview and South and
Northwest and Central North and even Well Prep's kind of
been operating a little bit along these lines. Well, I
mean that you got to pay to go there as
different as anyway, they can recruit a bit more, and
they always have, but Millard South is recruiting. And now
(10:05):
we got a kid transferring to Lincoln to drive every
day to Millard South. Here message right now for his
first period teacher. He's not going to be on time.
I'm talking about a high school kid commuting from Lincoln.
My son has to drive down the street and can't
make it to his first period class on time. What's
(10:27):
going on here, Jim.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
This is what's wrong with college and high school and
youth sports right now, Scott. The NSAA has eligibility rules,
and the first one is you got to live in
the district and your parents have to live in the
district of the school that you're attending. But there are exemptions,
and the biggest exemption is well, but then again, if
you register before May one of the previous year, meaning
(10:50):
May first of this year, because he'll be here for
next fall, then guess what, that domicile thing vaporizes. That's
absolutely got to change. The NSAA has got to crack
down on these transfers. Now, what's happening with Trey Taylor.
Trey Taylor is an excellent high school football player who
is a prospect to play at Nebraska, and he has
(11:11):
committed to Nebraska, and he's been very public about his support.
I mean social media posts all the time, go Big
Red doing Greg, go guys, blah blah.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
He's no dummy and apparently a heck of a football player.
He's a good football player. Now, I'm like, he wants
to be here, and all of these things you just
mentioned make me really root for this kid. And he
has been very a very frequent participant in the camp culture.
So he goes around the country and participates in these
quarterback camps, these elite academies, and he makes friends with
(11:41):
these other great players, like the two kids tay Ellis
and I'm at Hudson. These guys are outstanding prospects, one
from Texas, one from Louisiana who apparently they're thinking of
transferring to Millard South to So what we have as
a machine now, what we have as an industry now,
and somebody has to be the adult in the room
and say no trade.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
The most important thing that you do is go to school, Okay,
And it's disruptive for you to leave your high school
to Mount Carmel, Illinois, to come to Nebraska. So you're
going to stay right there. You're not going to mind South.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Number one.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Number two, if you want to move to Lincoln, your
family has to move to Lincoln. Then they have to
be here for a year, and you can go to
one of the Lincoln schools. You can go to BS,
you can go to Southeast, you can go to East.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
They don't make it.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
They don't make anyone to be here for a year.
This is the Rosarian plan. This is what a kid.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
So a family moves to Lincoln for a job. The
kid's not an athlete. He has to sit there for
a year until he can't participate in sports. He can
go to class, he just can't participate in sports. Because
this is what's happening, Scott. We're turning this into sports
factories and it will impact inner city schools. It will
cut down on participation. They will loot these schools of
(12:48):
quality talent, recruit them to these other high schools just
to form a powerhouse. It isn't right, and I know
I understand why it's happening. It's a financial deal. I
believe Trey Taylor's and I ll all is about eight
thousand dollars a month he's getting that from somebody, and
he's getting it from Nebraska. He's getting it from Boosters,
He's getting it from somebody. But it's like Dylan Ryola
(13:10):
moving from Chandler, Arizona to Buford, Georgia, just so he
could be close to Uga, and then he decommits from
Uga to take the money from Nebraska.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
You say this kid's getting eight thousand dollars a month.
I believe he's probably in that category a month. Oh
he's not driving himself to school, No, no, No, He'll have
an escalator. He'll have a Denali or an escalator, a
tahoe and somebody driving him.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
High school kid with a private driver from Lincoln to
Millard South. Not sure that's gonna happen. Not as possible,
private jet, helicopter.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
He has no business going to Millard South unless his
family moves to Omaha.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
No one cares.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
So his dad can work for Baxter Automotive or TD Mariage,
Charles Schwab or whatever. But to just say, you know what,
I want to be closer to the Nebraska program, So
I'm going to transfer to the powerhouse high school football
team in Nebraska.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
That's got to stop the.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
NSAA has to step in and say no, no, no. If
we don't work in a world of what's best for
your football career, we work in a world of what's
best for participation in extracurricular activities.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
And this isn't it. We're only a few years removed
from the situation where Gretna won a high school class
A state championship and they had a big banner that
they were ready to put up and all that fun stuff.
They completely earned it. But then someone looked and said,
wait a second, there's a kid on that Dragon's team.
(14:29):
His dad lives over here, mom lives over here. In
the paperwork they filed about his permanent residence after his
parents split up involves him living with a parent who's
not in the districts, even though he spends half the
time with the other parent who is in the district
It's a paperwork dispute, and these adults in the room
stripped Gretna of their state championship title in one of
(14:52):
the most ridiculous decisions I've ever seen. We're talking about
a kid who had parents going through a divorce, and
we're also talking about a kid who I think caught
one pass for four yards or something like that in
the title game. That was a terrible decision. And that
wasn't forty years ago, that was what four five, five
(15:13):
years ago? Seven years ago? I have no concept of
time anymore. But now we can have this going on
where a kid just like just I'm gonna come in
there and go to the IMG Academy of the Heartland
aka Millard South High School, And everyone's like, well it
goes and what what's Millard South schedule look like this year?
(15:33):
Buena Vista Colin, You know, I think they've married Marion.
They're not playing Mercy anymore. The eight guys that they
got suited up for Benson. You know, these guys go
out there and they either don't play the game or
they quit at halftime. What why won't they at least
set things up to where the best Class A, the
(15:56):
biggest best Class A schools play each other, and then
you got another tier of teams that play each other.
Maybe that would be the lower Class a's and the
bigger class piece and let's at least make some real
competition because what they've been doing, all of this is stupid.
Now I realize I am so old. Here's how old
I am. I remember Jim when the players used to
(16:18):
put their mouthpieces in their mouth rather than just let
them dangle from the face mask because it's drippy. You know,
we used to put them in our mouth. That was
to protect our toofs. So that's how old I Aarents
spent four thousand dollars on orthodone braces. Yeah, that's how
old I am. But now all of this is just
a free for all. That's where we are.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
It's it's it's just the antithesis of what should what
should govern high school sports. It's not about the team
you're playing on. It's about the opportunity. It's not about
the wins and how this will enhance, at least it
hasn't been how this will enhance your NIL prospects, how
this will enhance your credentials for a major college or
(17:01):
professional gig. It's about growing up with the same kids
going through peewee football, midget football, and then high school
football together so that you can have a complete experience academically, socially, culturally.
What this does is this isolates the athletes. I'm here
for one reason. I'm going to Millard South, not because
(17:22):
it's a good school. Not because I grew up here,
not because the teachers are outstanding, not because the families
are solid, but because they have the best football team
in the state, and that's going to help me get
more NIL money. That's not what high school sports is
supposed to be, and it's having a very very dramatic effect.
It's tamping down participation because we're seeing powerhouses get built
(17:45):
through money. He has no business living in Lincoln and
going to a high school in Omaha unless he grew
up in Omaha. His mom and dad moved to Lincoln
for whatever professional or personal reasons, and he wants to
finish his high school career back at his old high school.
That's the only to me explanation for living in Lincoln
and attending Millard South. But here's the other thing that
(18:07):
we don't know, and the same thing happened with Dilan Royola.
His family moved from Chandler, Arizona to be for Georgia,
forty five minutes from the UGA campus because he committed
to Georgia. Well, how many snaps did Dilan Royola play
for Georgia. Well, at last count, zero, there's still time.
There's still time, and he might yet still transfer to
Georgia Trey Taylor. I don't know if you've seen the
(18:28):
quarterback room, Son, It's not empty. We have lots of
good players. There's a chance you'll never play quarterback here.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah. But from that standpoint, he's doing what he should
be doing. He should be going to the homecoming dance.
He should be he should be in Decca. He shouldn't
be worried about playing football at Millard South. And then
as soon as Millard South practice is over, you go
back to Lincoln and hang out with the Huskers. You'll
got plenty of time. Where is mom and dad here?
(18:57):
Where is his coach here? Where is the coach which
at Millard's South? Saint Son? Don't do this. You need
to stay where you are in Illinois.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
If you want to come back to Nebraska for home games,
that's great, But you need to be a high school kid.
You're only a high school kid one time. You could
be a professional athlete the rest of your life. But
where are the adults in the room here? And I
swear to god, it is killing high school sports. It's
killed off legion baseball, it's killing off participation, to say
(19:26):
nothing of letting boys play on girls teams and the
downward pressure that has on girls participation. Where are the adults?
Please show me? Where are the forty year olds here?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I don't want to hold your hand physically, but figuratively,
I'm holding your hand on this. I'm holding your hand
on this. But again, we're very, very old. Nebraska State
Auditor Mike Foley is accusing city officials in Bellevue, specifically
Bellevue's city administrator and finance director a pull on a
fast one on the taxpayers. Now, Mayor Rusty Hike Bellevue
(20:00):
says no, no, no, no, and then he says, quote,
I could not disagree more with the State Auditor. I
fully stand behind our policy that they followed policy and
they didn't do anything wrong. All right, So what is
alleged to have been happening in Bellevue, according to State auditor, Fully,
(20:22):
the city has these city vehicles and after a time,
it's like, all right, this vehicle is getting too old.
It's like probably eight or nine months old. Can't possibly
drive that anymore. So I don't know what the timeframe is,
but they get these vehicles and then they list them.
There's a whole auction platform, gov Deals, goov deals GOV deals,
(20:46):
you know, like the kind that Governor Pillens alleged to
have made. You know, No, these are different. These are
GOV deals for taxpayer funded vehicles that taxpayers or other municipalities,
or Lucy Chapman or anyone can go on there and
you can get in the online auction and go, yeah,
I need a plow truck or one of these little
sedans that these guys drive all over the state or whatever,
(21:08):
and I can get a good deal in a car.
So they put these vehicles online for the auction, and
then sometimes before the auction got going or even before
it ended, they'd pull it and go, no, no, we're
not gonna sell this one, and then the vehicle would
end up being sold to someone who lives in the
vicinity of the aforementioned city administrator in the city of Bellevue.
(21:32):
The allegation here is that they were taking these vehicles
and rather than selling them for more money in the auction,
they would just pull it from the auction and sell
it for a lot less money to a friend or
family member there in Bellevue, and state auditor fully says
that's wrong. The reason we have these things set up
(21:54):
here with the auctions is because you get a lot
more money in the auction that goes back into the city.
They can buy new vehicles or maintenance on current vehicles.
And Mike Foley says that it's a slap in the
face to taxpayers. They're being stiffed. I don't like being stiffed.
So they're fighting a little bit there, back and forth
(22:15):
between the State Auditor's Office and the City of Bellevue. Again,
City of Bellevue says, we didn't do anything wrong. This
is not a violation of our policy. I think it's
certainly based on the allegations. Looks bad. Does not have
a good look, unless you got one of those trucks,
in which case it looks great. Greg Evans out until Monday.
(22:39):
Chris Turner there filling in with our headlines every fifteen minutes,
Lucy Chapman with Timesaver traffic and whatever else she wants
to do. Jim Rose with sports brief momentarily and whatever
else he wants to do. And I'm Scott Vorhees here
just kind of staring at the circus around me in
wide eyed wonder. But if I'm I announce on a
(23:01):
personal note here, I don't like to brag, but my
son just got an ni nil deal to play JV
ping pong for Scott's Bluff Senior High School. And so
he's he's gonna commute. Who we're still working, don't worry.
I'm gonna stay here in Omaha and he's going to
commute from our home here in northwest Omaha to Scott's
(23:22):
Bluff every single day. And he's got It's not a
lot of money coming in for JV ping pong, but
you know it's it's a little bit, and he's excited
about it. I still got to convince his mother this
is a fine idea. He'll be home for dinner eventually
and it's going to be fantastic. So yeah, that's that's great.
Since athletes can just drive all over God's Green Earth
(23:45):
and go play and apparently get money in high school,
now that's what we can do.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Has it ever been the occasion that a kid and
I hears me sports ball that you see with the.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Sports ball take here, let's see hot take coming right
that a kid.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
In ninth or tenth grade just going into high school
who's not that great, but pretty good and he could
certainly improve through those three years in high school. He
improves into a great football player, and now he has
no advantage because all these other.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
No carpetbaggers carpet Yeah, hey, that's one way of describing them.
We are common baggers coming in held at a school.
You are not from here. That a line out of
Gone with the Wind. I'm sure I think I was
doing It's like nineteen thirties Congress on that one. He
(24:36):
was doing a young though. He was doing a young
Thoborn Horn's a it's a young it's a it's an
old congressman from South Carolina circa nineteen thirty two. It's like,
I say, his son, you be a common bag you
are not from here. So a lot of times you'll
see these these eighth graders that are just monsters in
(24:57):
football or basketball, and they're like, hey, this kid's gonna
be really good. I would say, if there's money to
be spent on these guys, take that money. Don't hold out,
because a lot of times that eighth grade monster stops
growing and suddenly you're not gonna see him in that
picture of the varsity basketball team in twelfth grade, because
that former center is now guard height and no one's
(25:20):
giving him any money for basketball anyway. So if you
can get that money, I guess take it. But as
far this is the problem I think so many parents have,
and this is the culture in which we are rearing
our kids, and that is everyone thinks that they need
to go pro, they need to get noticed, they need
to have social media presence. And dads buy into this,
(25:41):
and they're like, all right, we're gonna go to this
camp because they got great coaches and a DJ, and
they're gonna have a mixtape that they're gonna put together.
In my kid, we can send that to colleges and
we can get that money and all the rest of
that stuff. Look, your kids probably not gonna go pro.
Probably not gonna go pro. Cool players go pro. One
(26:01):
percent your assessment. A few months ago at the Rosie
de GENOZI saying, let's look ten years ago, the twenty
fifteen All State baseball team, and let's see how many
of these guys sniffed pro ball. One of them did? Two?
Was it two? Cole Stobie.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
No, well he never got to the majors. Yeah, but
he sniffed Alec Baum and Jake Myers and you know,
Matt Waldron. But the truth is that this is a
fantasy that has been sparked by an industry of people
that I consider Charlatan's. They pray on a kid's dreams,
(26:38):
they pray on a parent's dreams, and they say, if
you just pay me all this money, I'll turn your
kid into a professional prospect, whether it's a basketball player,
baseball player, football player, volleyball player.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
And it's unfortunate. We're in a free country.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
There should be no government regulation of that, but there
should be common sense, you know, intrusion, and that just
does not happen. What's happened is families have really really
struggled because the financial commitment to try and get their
kid a scholarship and ultimately a pro contract can be very,
(27:16):
very burdensome. And then down the road they look back
and said, what did we spend all of that money on.
They don't even have any relationships anymore. At the time,
they had relationships maybe with some of the other parents,
but those have all frittered away because either their kid
went on to the next level or didn't, and then
they disappeared. The investment is a horrible investment. If you
(27:36):
were to go to one hundred financial planners and tell
them what your plan is, they would say that is
not a good use of money.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Either your kid pans out or and this happens a
lot too, your kid gets burned out. That happens like
I don't want to play, I don't want to do
gymnastics or whatever. Volleyball, swimming, college happens all the time.
All right, More sports free more Jim Rose.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Very good, Scuy, Good morning, everybody. Bittersweet night for Husker basketball.
They win again, seventy six sixty six over Washington, go
to nineteen and zero. But in the time warn tradition
of Husker fans, we managed to find a cloud to
stuff inside a silver lining.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Braden Frager was injured, turned an ankle.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Everybody's got to be ready to step up in his
absence and in contributed. I thought, guys did that tonight.
You know, we've got guys that I think, with everything
that we've done or are built to play big minutes,
and we're gonna have to probably change some things in
practice now. And you know, we get pretty physical with
them at times with when we have to, but may
(28:35):
have to change that up a little bit now.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Coach Fred Hoiberg about what's next the freshman all America candidate,
the most talented player on an undefeated team, came out
of the locker room in the second half in a
walking boot.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
What he really needed is a It was a shaft
a little black dreams comes you can't. It was a wish.
It was full of but.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Just be hey, it's gonna be four below. So we
need a wishing bood for Braden Frager. Even if it's
not broken, this is gonna be sore for the rest
of the year and that doesn't help wishing bood.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I'm gonna have that song in my head all weekend.
That's cold. That's the coldest seventeen in Omaha, Council Bluffs
nineteen and Lincoln Boxing.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
KFAB News updates next. Yes, okay, this is our show.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
My friend. I am Scott Voarh He's here with Jim
Rose and Lucy Chapman, Chris Turner in for Craig Evans,
Courtney Donaho as well. This is Nebraska's morning news news
Radio eleven ten KFAP. Let's take a look at a
track record here. Who says that you can't get things
done on spite? Spite is a powerful motivator. Now, I
(29:50):
don't have the knowledge end of sentence. No, I don't
have the knowledge to be able to especially look at
various business deals in Manhattan and elsewhere that Trump did
back in the eighties and nineties that were done out
of spite. But let's look at a couple other things.
President at the time, just business mogul media darling Donald J.
(30:13):
Trump wanted a buy in with the National Football League
NFL said no, we're not going to let you be
an owner. He's like, okay, And he didn't start the USFL,
but he's certainly credited with infusing the USFL with a
ton of money. And that's when they started really taking
(30:35):
away Marquee college football players, Heisman Trophy winners from going
rather to the NFL, going to like the New Jersey
Generals or the Birmingham Bulls or whatever USFL team Jacksonville Bulls,
Birmingham Stallion. Was that, Oh, thank you very much. It's
a long time ago. Not for me, not for me.
(30:58):
So let's see here Trump on an NFL team. They said,
he's all right, herschel Walker, come on over, Doug Flutie,
let's go. You know, this is what he did out
of spite. Fast forward here to the PGA tour. He
had a nice relationship with the PGA Tour. They had
(31:18):
an annual stop in Miami at the Blue Monster at
Durrell Trump International at Durrell in Florida, and then Trump
said something about, yeah, that Mexico's sending their criminals here. Oh.
Trump just called all the Mexican criminals. And suddenly the
PGA Tour pulled that tour stop from Trump's place, gave
it to Mexico. Trump's like, all right, I see how
(31:40):
this is going. A few years later, amazingly, some of
Trump's buddies he plays golf with leave the PGA Tour
for live golf, and live golf plays a lot of
their tour stops at Trump owned golf facilities around the world.
Let's see here. President Obama called out Donald Trump at
(32:00):
the White House correspondence dinner and said, yeah, dud, Donald
thinks he could be president. Everyone had a good laugh,
and Trump just sat there with the BMus look in
his face. I don't even think he was planning on
running for president. I don't think he was seriously planning
on running for president twenty six. No, this is like
twenty twelve, twelve thirteen, something like that, and Trump's like, Okay,
(32:23):
you guys are all gonna laugh, all right, watch hold
my diet coke and watch this. I think that he
ran for president out of spite. And now now we've
got the Board of Peace, billion dollar buy in. Everyone's
invited pay the money be on the Board of Peace. Now,
why in the world would we suddenly be putting together
(32:44):
a cabal of sixty nation world leaders, a bunch of
tech giants, business leaders to sit on this Board of Peace.
I thought we already had that. It was the United Nations.
What has the United Nations been saying about President Trump
over the years. Nothing good. NATO has had the problems
with him, UNS had problems with Trump. Trump's like, I
(33:07):
don't know why we bother to give money to these guys.
They're effeckless, spineless institution. I don't want anything to do
with them. Let's build our own. Let's the usfl of
world bodies.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
What it is, This is the Board of Peace, it's
the New Jersey Generals of International Diplomas is. And the
thing is that a lot of folks continue to underestimate
about Donald Trump is what his motivation is. His motivation
is a economic vitality. Money He does this for the money.
He ran for president for the money, and I think
(33:39):
he really cares about the country. He wouldn't get shot
and keep coming back if he didn't really care about
the country. But he also looks at it as a
business deal. It's like Gaza. We're going to turn Gaza
into a luxury beachside resort community. Why because everybody would
get rich. And this is what he's been trying to
convey to the rest of the world for the last
ten years. And that is why fight and you can
(34:00):
be rich. Okay, everybody wants me. Everybody wants the private plane,
the stretch limousines, and the swimsuit model for a wife.
Everybody wants what I have. It's great. And he's finally
convincing these leaders, why do you guys fight each other?
Why don't you make money?
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Yeah? Why would you? Why?
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Why would you persecute your people when they can make
you rich. That's what he's conveying to the Iranians, but
he conveyed to the saudiast why would you crap on
the people when they can make you even more rich
and powerful and influential.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Trump International Pyongyang great place we can get Brooks cap
get a play over there and be fantastic. He said.
It's what he said to Rocketman.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
He walked over there and said, dude, your country can't
even grow any food. Okay, why would you want this?
Why don't you look at South Korea. Those guys are rich,
they have electricity. The lights are on in South Korea
and yours aren't. Why would you continue to behave this way?
He's going, maybe this is this is how Donald Trump functions.
(35:03):
Everybody wants to all those world leaders want to be
Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Yeah, and I'm not saying that Trump's only motivation to spite.
I've talked with people who have met with the President,
who have gone to him with grievances, their kids have
been killed, they want justice, you know, in various forms.
This is kind of where ice comes from and some
other things here. And he honestly listens to them. And
it's not about like, hey, we're gonna put together a
border a committee and see what we can do sometime
(35:28):
between now and the end of time. He's like, what
can we do today? He gets stuff done. He is
not messing around. And I'm saying that too, but a
lot of his motivation seems to be spite. And now
we've got the Board of Peace, the live gulf of
international diplomacy. We'll see how that goes. They're billion dollars
buy in. I haven't been invited. Chris Turner in for
(35:52):
Craig Evans. Of course. Lucy Chapman is here with a
very cool green shirt on. If you stood in front
of one of those green screens, you would look like
you had no body.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
I'm looking for one green screen, not a body. Got
plenty of that.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
All right again, hold off on your emails. I got one.
Ch can use Calm down, everyone calmed down. We got
sports and the grow Omaha minute. Momentarily. We talked a
lot this morning about this transfer from Chicago who wants
to go to Millard South by way of Lincoln, Nebraska,
so we can be closer to the Nebraska football team
(36:29):
that he is committed to. And we're just kind of wondering, like,
how's he going to get to school? My kid lives
down the street from our school. Can't make it to
first period on time. If he had to commute to
Lincoln every day, I don't think we'd ever see him again.
This teachers wouldn't see him. He'd get lost He's like,
(36:49):
I'm in school, Like, what school, Ashland. That's not your school.
I just you just said to go to school. I
don't know which. Like, that's my kid on a roll
by the way, So how's this kid gonna get to school?
Why I got this email? This is nice. Always great
to have important people listening to the show. Scott at
kfab dot com Zonker's custom wo's inbox says, Dear Scott,
(37:12):
maybe we could find some tiff money to finance a
high speed light rail between Lincoln and Omaha so football
players can get to school on time. Signed Gene Stothard.
This doesn't appear to be her email address.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
All look like her handwriting.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
No, I'll confirm whether or not that's actually her. If
it is not her, I'm gonna get a text message
in a moment. Now I'm gonna get eighteen text messages
in a moment. Wow, it's amazing. If President Trump says
something threatens, something sends something up the flagpole, the markets go, well,
(37:49):
this is it. It's all gonna end. We're gonna everything's
gonna go to zero and I'm getting out now, and
everyone sells everything. They're like, prepare for World War three.
In the bottom to drop out of the stock market,
and then like a day later, the president achieves exactly
what he was looking to achieve, and the stock market
people come out from under their desks and they're like, oh,
(38:09):
the world didn't end well by buying that stock. Now
that only happens every freaking time that the President says anything.
Good morning. I'm Scott Vorhees, Jim Rose is right there,
right there, Lucy Chapman here, and Chris Turner in for
Craig Evans, Courtney Donaho as well. Together we form a
(38:31):
radio mutant known as Nebraska's Morning News on news Radio
eleven ten kfab Jim, you can't discount that this kid
from Chicago who's committed to play football for Nebraska and
is going to attend Millard South by way of living
in Lincoln and commuting every day to Millard South because
transfer and housing rules be darned. You can't discount the
(38:55):
fact that he said he was going to do this
yesterday right after Gretna announce that they're getting the BUCkies.
You heard the news there tourism because we got a
gas stations in a convenience store that seventy five pumps
if you're thinking, well, BUCkies and that the dog and
the thing that's that's BUCkies. Come on, please, this is
(39:17):
buck this is this is BUCkies. You're thinking of BUCkies.
This is BUCkies, and BUCkies is gone. Now BUCkies is
now Casey's. This is the BUCkies. B U C C
dash e s right, We're not talking about BUCkies. That's cases.
We're talking about BUCkies. That's BUCkies. I don't know why
people are confused, b U C dash ees. Why apostrophe?
(39:37):
Why does why is it called that? What does that mean?
Probably somebody's daughter. Why do we have someone's daughter, someone's
daughter buckie? They named it. They named a billion dollar
corporation after their daughter. Well, Wendy's did it, and that
worked out, Okay, Wendy's did Burger King. That was someone daughter's.
Kentucky Fried Chicken, Little Kentucky Fried Chicken. Hey, little Kentucky
(39:59):
Fried Chicken. Hey, I got an idea little KFC. You
know there's probably someone going that could be an nil deal.
If I name my child raising canes, do I get?
We'll give you some free sauce sold. Hey.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
Look, if you're Nebraska coach Matt Ruhle, or you're creating
basketball coach Greg McDermott. You're looking for somebody named Bucky,
and you know you got dollar signs bouncing around. If
we can get somebody named Bucky, just walk right up
and say Hi, Hi, Bucky.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
I had the coldest. We we have a gas stage.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
Oldest Crawford is down in Louisiana where it doesn't get cold.
Might get cold this weekend.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
He's missing the opportunity to continue to sell his name
the oldest. I'm the coldest. I'm the coldest. I here,
it's going to be the coldest. Do we need a
gas station? You can see from space.
Speaker 4 (40:48):
Oh, there's a Flying J right across the street. I'm
not aware why we need another one.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
Where is this going? This is right across from Nebraska Crossings?
I think.
Speaker 4 (40:57):
Okay, so we're out there at the You got that
biginner section out there as you're coming from Lincoln up
on your right as the Flying J. You get off
there and you can zap over the bridge and hit
Nebraska crossing. This is going to be directly east of
the Flying J.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Okay, Well that's yeah, that one there where it kind
of shares that parking lot area with McDonald's not real
easy to get. That's on the that's on the that's
at Nebraska. This is what this would be the southeast
corner of that interchange. Okay, so if you can imagine
the southeast corner, that's all the seventy five pump gas
station right across the interstate from Nebraska crossing Mall to
(41:32):
the south. Okay, well, it's that's what we need in Nebraska,
another gas station. Look, I'll I'll pop in there. You
guys got a little chocolate donuts. We've got rows and
rows of little talking donuts. You could live in that
thing for a solid week.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
You got you got in the old Merle Haggard CDs
for three ninety nine, and here we got a whole
fact deck. I think this could be a KFA B
Nebraska's morning news experience, because Scott and Rosie live in
a Bucki's.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
For a week. Just live in it for a week.
Speaker 4 (42:05):
Everything you need, I'm in, Lucy, truck driver showers, Lucy,
you want to live at a gas station with us?
Speaker 1 (42:12):
Hey? Yeah, all right. If it can't be BUCkies, we'll
take any of them.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
Now, wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
That little Buchanan service center right by Children's Hospital. I
like those guys truck stops. I know if it's mister
mechanic guys one on fifty of the Dodge. But you
know what that little think. It's in Anderson Store, the
one there on No, no, no, that's that's the Buchanan
Service Center. And it's only about the size of most
people's California closets. Now I know, Steve, it has everything
(42:39):
I need. All I need is a pack of little
Chocolate donuts maybe uh a soda pop. They got all
that stuff. I know Steve still owns the one and
fifty of the Dodge that was the origin. I don't know.
I'm just saying that that was the original BUCkies. We
got millions of people and increasing tourism. We sold every
other one on to Casey's. We got increasing tourism because
we got a Bucky. I don't know how this increase
(43:00):
is tourism.
Speaker 4 (43:01):
I think that Nebraska crossings can drive some tourism, and should,
but why would why would somebody think a gas station
is a tourist destination. Now, I know it's impressive. Now
maybe for Scrancha it looks like a small airport. But
this what will drive tourism in Nebraska are youth sports
facilities that will drive tourism, Jim.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
For some families going to a big convenience store is
a heck of a trip, you elitist pig. You know,
we can't all go travel to the Copa cabana. You
know sometimes it's bucky.
Speaker 4 (43:32):
Now that is also Copa is a tourist destination out
there by one hundred and seventy six in the West Center.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
I think this BUCkies is going to have a Copa
cabana inside. Yeah, it'll be big. BUCkies looked at that
giant high V that's got an airport inside of it.
Looks like an airport and said, hold my, hold my
vanilla coke can watch this. Yeah, that that high V
in Gretna. It's daylight savings time on one end and
(43:59):
not on the other. You all got slim gyms in here. Oh,
we've got We've got variety. We got slim John's, we
got slim Greggs, slim Steves, you name it. We got
Slimdicoldest Scott atkfab dot com via the Zonker's custom was
inbox and a number of people saying, I don't know
why you guys are bagging on tourism being increased by
(44:19):
this convenience store in Gretna, the buck Gees new convenience
store opening up. Weren't you guys just talking about how
traffic was impacted down a West Maple by a new
coffee shop and people were coming from miles and miles
around to get a cup of coffee. This cup of
coffee is cheaper than Starbucks. How many Starbucks did you
(44:39):
pass when you left Carter Lake that morning to go
get a cup of coffee at one hundred and eightieth
in Maple? Did you factor in that cost? But you
know what, that's your life. You do what you gotta do.
Speaker 4 (44:49):
Well, tell me, tell me about this place that is
now at least know the coffee coffee drive through where
you had a mile and a half line.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
I don't I don't notice it. I don't drink coffee.
They have good hot chocolate.
Speaker 4 (45:00):
I drink coffee, but I've never drank that And I
don't know any why, Folks, this is not a rhetorical question.
We really do want to know, So email us in
and say this is why this place is so good.
I'd like to know, because you know, if it's good,
I'm gonna go well, although I'm pretty brand loyal to scooters.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
Must be good. Look at all those people. Now as
far as BUCkies are they giving it away? I don't know,
only email. They have swimsuit models in the drive through.
What it's not one of those kind of places. Now
about BUCkies, Oi says, which one, the big one buck
or ours? Ease? Okay, every high school kid in grat
and I should have no excuse of not having a
(45:37):
job after this place opens. I walked into one of
these places in Amarillo for a drink and left sixty
five dollars later. The places are huge. Brian says my
high school friend relocated to Texas, and he emphatically regales
us with stories of the cleanliness of the buck EA's restrooms.
I'll hold my excitement down till I see if they
(45:59):
can bring these high standards across state lines. Oh, they
haven't seen anything. Do they seen what Nebraskans can do
to a bathroom? To a public restroom. You don't even
realize how bad the men's rooms are until you get
a daughter and you're out with her and you're like, Okay,
I gotta take my two year old daughter into the
men's room here and can help her out.
Speaker 4 (46:16):
What are you doing taking two year olds into men's rooms?
Because this is the side of you I didn't know existed.
She's like nineteen months old. She can't go into the
ladies room by herself. Well, where's mom?
Speaker 1 (46:26):
And I can't go? I'm out. Sometimes I take my
daughter out for a little daddy daughter.
Speaker 4 (46:30):
Time and out to the bathroom first. Well, that's the
thing you can't control. When these kids are gonna go.
They have to go at the worst possible times. And
you go into a men's public restroom in a convenience
store or something, and suddenly you're like, oh, don't touch anything, please, Yeah,
you haven't seen. We're gonna we're gonna shoot that reputation
(46:50):
that link bathrooms right to heck, pardon my language.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
All right, guys, let's see how old we are. Anyone
want to try and pretend like we are young and
hip and with it because every year now, every year, now,
no you can say six to seven, but that's not
going to count when I start giving you the list
of your Best Picture nominees for the upcoming Academy Awards.
(47:15):
This is the part of the program every year now
that I don't know what that age is where you
know you used to go to the movies. I still
like to go to the movies, but the problem is
now when I go to the movies, I forget immediately
what I saw and I end up having that conversation, Oh,
(47:35):
I just saw a great honey, what was that movie
we saw? I had that guy in it. So that's
that's me. Now I'll tell you what I did just
see that it was really good. Is this thing on
with Will Arnett? I like Will and Laura Dern Bradley Cooper.
It's a very sad movie involving stand up comedy. You're like,
how does that work? As it's not really about stand
(47:57):
up comedy. It's really really well done. But that's not
one of your best film nominees. H Here are your
best Picture nominees for the upcoming Academy Awards. I'll say
these out one by one. If there's any that you've seen,
let me know, in no particular order. Actually it is
in particular order. It's an alphabetical order that is a
(48:20):
particular order. Mind.
Speaker 4 (48:23):
The first one is Begonia. I've seen the previews, never
heard of it, no idea. You don't know either, and
you don't know, and you don't know, and none of
us know. Other one Franken or no f one. I'm
guessing that's about racing.
Speaker 1 (48:40):
Ah, sure, f one. Frankenstein. What's that about? I guess
they made a new Frankenstein movie? Or is it Frankenstein?
Speaker 3 (48:52):
Is it written kind of like in old English Frankenstein
in a kind of a cloudy gray night.
Speaker 1 (49:01):
I don't know, it's probably this is so Frankenstein's like
a left handed gay black man because it's Hollywood, and well,
we've got to have some diversity. Why does frank Stein
always have to be a white monster?
Speaker 2 (49:18):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (49:18):
Yeah, Frankenstein. Star is Abby Abby Abby normal?
Speaker 3 (49:25):
Ah? You got me.
Speaker 1 (49:27):
That's a seventies reference. There you go. That's young friend.
Up next in your best film nominees, Marty's Supreme. Nope, nope,
unless it stars Marty Short. I don't know that I
know anything about it now. The other one is on
my list, but that's this is on Netflix. I believe.
One Battle after Another? This is Leonardo DiCaprio, and I
(49:49):
do want to see this.
Speaker 3 (49:50):
Nope, what's the name of the movie?
Speaker 1 (49:52):
One Battle after Another?
Speaker 3 (49:53):
Well, what's the name of the movie?
Speaker 1 (49:54):
Though?
Speaker 4 (49:55):
One Battle one or another battle after Yeah, another about
one trying to have a conversation with Lucy chap You
see how many times one battle after another. So Leonardo
DiCaprio is pretty much defaulted to Netflix now he's not
doing major motion pictures in the studios in Netflix.
Speaker 1 (50:16):
So time out in the list and let's talk about this.
Do you guys still go to the theater rarely? Yeah?
The last one I went to was Nurburg. That was
like three years ago. It was November. It was Oh,
that's right, that one just got I'm thinking of something else,
But yeah, I like going to the movies. When I
was a high school kid, I worked at movie theaters. Here,
(50:39):
I need a co signer, but I love I love
taking my kid to the movies. But they've gotten expensive,
the concessions have gotten expensive, and plus that Hollywood's just
not given us as much to go see in the
theater compared to to your point, you've got a streaming
service to come right there to your TV at home,
(51:02):
and the price of two tickets. You can sit there
in your underwear and eat your food in your chair,
which a lot of people still do when they go
to the theater. They sneak in like a whole pizza
and they're just sitting there in their underwear on their phone.
You know, it's another thing. If someone's bothering me while
I'm watching the movie, I can pause it and just
stare at them until they go, I'm sorry. Were you
watching something? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (51:22):
I was?
Speaker 1 (51:24):
And so then we have that. You can't do that
at the theater. Can't pause the movie because you got
if you could, because you got to use the restroom.
Wouldn't that be fun if everyone had a button right
there in their seat. Yeah, this button reclines the seat.
This button you can have someone bring you a drink,
and this button pauses the movie. You know, Sorry everyone,
you already went. You just went twenty minutes ago. Sorry,
(51:45):
I've been draining a lot of water. Gotta get my fluids. Sorry,
I gotta go. How big is your bladder? Madam? You
know that pauses the movie and then and then you
know they come back and all right, unpause the movie.
And then two minutes later someone's like, sorry, I know
I should have gone when she went, Oh, come on.
Movies last probably longer than the previews before the movie.
(52:08):
So people put these movies out on the streaming services
because you're home and you're looking for something to watch.
But I don't know what they could put out in
movie form that is more compelling than say, Black Rabbit
on Netflix. That's Jason Bateman and Jude Law. That's an
eight episode series. It's amazing. What movie are they going
(52:32):
to put out that's better than that?
Speaker 3 (52:33):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (52:34):
Here's your next one up for Best Picture? The Secret Agent?
What's that about the Johnny Rivers song? Was that Johnny
Rivers did Secret Agent?
Speaker 2 (52:42):
Man?
Speaker 1 (52:43):
They get the Secret Agents about how they give you
a number and you forget your name or something like.
Speaker 3 (52:51):
Well, you know, Hollywood always tells you what's gonna happen
in the future.
Speaker 1 (52:55):
Then we have three more for Best Picture. Have any
of us seen any of the movies? We are influential,
important people who get out and do stuff. None of
us have seen any of this. We've only barely heard him.
Speaker 3 (53:10):
You.
Speaker 1 (53:11):
The last three are sentimental value. I'm surprised my wife
hasn't dragged me to that. I mean she will. And
then Sinners, which I this is what the kids are
all about, because it's got honey, who's that guy? You know,
the guy who plays Young Creed in the latest Rocky
Creed Movies Michael B. Jordan. He plays I think two characters.
(53:36):
It's like a vampire movie or something. It's called Sinners.
I've heard it's really good and I'll probably end.
Speaker 3 (53:42):
Up seeing I think not the movie with the whole
class of kids disappear.
Speaker 1 (53:46):
I don't know, but I that sounds terrible.
Speaker 3 (53:50):
It was a terrible movie. I don't even recall the
name of it. It was so bad.
Speaker 1 (53:55):
It was Children of the Corn. And then the final
one train dreams, Train dreams. This is this is just
a movie about my wife telling you about the dreams
she had last night where at starsof saying so I'm
on a train, and then the next hour worth of
narrative has nothing to do with the train ride or
(54:15):
being on the train, And then you're like, wait a second,
what is it by train? I'm getting to it, don't
rush me, never dream of it. So there there you
have it. Butgonia f one Frankenstein. I left one out,
Hamnit Hamnet not hamlet hamnt.
Speaker 3 (54:35):
Hant. Yeah, maybe it's about.
Speaker 1 (54:38):
Pork, Marty Supreme, one battle after another, the secret Agent,
sentimental value centers, and trained dreams. I'm still gonna watch
the Academy Awards, though two reasons. Number one, Conan O'Brien,
calm down, Everyone calmed down. We can get through this.
Hate the guy. That's fine, you don't have to lie.
I love Conan O'Brien. And then the other thing is
the in memoriam. I gotta see that so I can
(55:00):
sit there for three and a half minutes ago.
Speaker 3 (55:02):
What he died?
Speaker 1 (55:03):
How did I not hear that he died? She's dead?
Speaker 3 (55:07):
You know you have the internet.
Speaker 1 (55:09):
I thought that guy died twenty years ago. That's what
I do during the in memoriam. The Academy Awards are
coming up on I don't know, March March fifteenth, and
there you have it, your Best Picture nominees. None of
us have seen any of them. Thanks for being with
us here, because I imagine you're in the same boat.
You're in the right boat. Even if you saw all
of them. We're glad you're here. You're in the right place.
(55:31):
I'm trying to think which of the titles of those
Best Film nominees for your Oscar this year would best
describe the situation of Lynn Walls trying to be the
next governor of Nebraska. Probably one battle after another, This
would be the Nebraska Democrats party trying to get someone
elected to statewide office in Nebraska anymore, one battle after another.
(55:57):
Lynn Walls yesterday said all right, fine, I'll do it.
This is I think this is how the state Democrat
party finds their candidates anymore. It's just by virtue of default,
and you finally find someone who's like, well, we got
to have someone, right, you don't have anyone else to
run for state wide office. She's senator, secretary of state. Nothing,
(56:18):
She's a serious candidate. They all say they are, Well, no,
she is. She served as a state senator for eight years. Yeah,
elected in Lincoln, state senator. He's from Fremont. You know,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (56:30):
I think she's a better candidate than Carol Blood. If
you just look back at the Democrats that have been
laid waste over the last twenty thirty.
Speaker 1 (56:39):
Junior has a foot and a half into retirement. He's like,
no one else going to run for senate. You officially
buried his campaign.
Speaker 4 (56:46):
If you recall that conversation on this radio station that
was the end of President Love conversation you had with
him about abortion.
Speaker 1 (56:53):
As I recall, and I love Preston loved had no
business being he was. He goes face on a bus,
and I'm real happy for him that he was not
a serious candidate. But and I'm not really sure that
Bob christ was a serious candidate. I think he was
sort of just propped up there hi him and ran
against you know, a couple of q balls. But the
(57:15):
bottom line is this gal has a record of standing
up in a fairly conservative district and zero I'm just
laser focused on education issues. So she's going to make
education and what we're doing in our schools and what
the state should do with our schools as the cornerstone
(57:37):
of her campaign. And the one thing she's gonna do
is say, if it's me, I'm going to leave local
control to schools. He wants the state to pay for schools.
That will be her best argument against Jim Pillen. If
I'm Governor Jim Pillen, I would not call her the
name that I used that we talked about yesterday. I
would just keep calling her Tim Walls. Sorry, I'm sorry, wait,
(57:59):
what's her name? Sorry? Lynn Walls not Tim? Are they related?
That's not bad? That's what I keep doing well as
Tim Walls over the Lynn Walls over there. So that's
what I would do. She's serious. Senator Walls as a
serious person, and we'll see. All right, hey, I want
a good election. Let's go. This will be fun.
