Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vordiez.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
And I don't mean to come off here. I mean
we're in the holiday season. Whichever holiday you've decided it
is right now, we're in that season. And I don't
relish the opportunity to come out here and say you
guys are a bunch of phonies and liars.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
I really don't.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
I don't want to be just one man holding a
mirror up to you showing you how awful you are.
But if no one else is going to do it,
I'll do it. You guys are a bunch of liars
and phonies, fakes, your AI.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
You are chat.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Gpt every single one of you who went on social
media last night and you posted all the pictures of
the northern lights.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Oh my god, look at it. Look at the Aurora borealis.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
The Northern lights are visible here in the Omaha area.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Look how beautiful they are. They're so incredible.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
You got reds and greens and some blues and oh
my god, it's blinding. I had to put my sunglasses on. No,
you didn't know, you didn't, you bunch of liars. If
you see the Northern lights in Omaha last night with
your naked eye, you wouldn't even know you were looking
at them. Now, I will give some grace and benefit

(01:13):
to people who are outside the Omaha area where it
is just nothing but starry skies. You've got no light pollution.
Have you been in that situation where you've just walked
out of a room. I'll give you a specific place,

(01:33):
the Prairie Club out in Valentine Golf Course area complex.
Out there at night. That's the last time and the
first time in a long and way too long a
time that I've been out in the country at night
and really just stared up there. I thought I was
going to hit my head on the stars. I mean
they felt like it was you were in one of

(01:55):
those planetariums. It was just right there and it was
magnetficent and I felt like a kid again. So, yes,
there are some spots outside metro area where I'm sure
you can detect things better with the naked eye than
when you have the light pollution. But there were so
many of you throughout Omaha Council Bluffs last night and

(02:17):
they're like.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
Look at this. I'm here in Omaha and I see
the northern lights. No, you didn't with the naked eye.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
If you if you knew if someone said, hey, look
it's the Northern lights and you kind of look at
it and go, I guess I do detect a So
where did all the colors come from? You saw on
social media and on TV last night in the newscast.
Here are some pictures that listeners sent us of the
Northern lights. That's all through the light filter on your camera.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
Really, yeah, they aren't real. No, oh, I feel so
much better.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
I'm already getting people saying, well, I was in Ashland
and this guy looked, you know, a nice pink Okay,
you people in Omaha who changed the filter on your
camera and did it without a flash. The camera, for
whatever reason, can detect the lights better than I don't

(03:14):
know if it's like I don't I don't know how
the stuff works there. I mean with a with a
real camera, you can open up the aperture and you
can make things appear brighter than they actually are. I
imagine your digital camera has some of the same digital
qualities there on your phone. But there were a number
of people who impressed as well, say like, wow, did

(03:36):
it really look like that when you were out there? Well, no,
I could barely see it. But until I got my
phone out and I took a picture of my phone
and there it is. There they are. It's the Northern lights.
So point number one. If you guys had to digitally,
I'm not saying you enhanced, but your phone saw something

(03:57):
that your naked eye. And what are you doing walking
around out in public with naked eyes?

Speaker 3 (04:04):
The band? Never mind?

Speaker 5 (04:05):
There's always something there to remind me though.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
Every single time. There is always something there to remind me.
Thank you, Lucy for picking up on that eighties music
reference for this segment of the radio.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
Program Have you met me? Kg oar? Have you met me?

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (04:20):
But it's surprising how little you know about some of
these one hit wonders. But yeah, yeah, So if you
posted the pictures and your camera on your phone picked
up something wildly different than you saw with the naked eye,
you're a liar and a phony. You are scoundrels. You

(04:40):
are ai scoundrels. Now, I don't think you were trying
to fool anybody. Hey, look what the picture of my
camera took.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
You know.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
That's that's all fine. But here's the other thing. But
Scott kid, you could have gone last night, well outside
the Omaha area, gone up north of Blair, for example,
I heard Minnesota beautiful things that you could have gone
though that is north of Blair. You could have absolutely
gone well outside the area and seen it better.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
But see, here's the thing with that. Have you ever
heard one of those things where they say, hey, we've
got one of these international treasures, it's the Hope Diamond
or the we Were I mean, they could they could
do something like maybe the Hope Diamond's a dumb example.
Let's say they're bringing the Mona Lisa on tour or

(05:33):
the mummies from the tombs in Egypt, and they were
they're on tour, and they're coming to your town and
you go downtown Omaha and you go into some art
gallery and you see the Mona Lisa and you're like, oh,
I look at that and know it's so small, and
you know it's it's not as special as if you
break into the loof and see it, you know, like
like everyone else does. Tickets are expensive, just there's a

(05:56):
window up on the second floor. You just take a
ladder truck to it and it's wide open. The password
for Louver, as we learned last week, is and I'm
not making this up Louve. That was the network security
password for the Louver. I know most of us can't
spell it. Is that a capital L? Yeah, I know

(06:17):
it's crazy they got us on that one. So if
you go to the Louver and you see the Mona Lisa,
that's special.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
If you go to.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
The if you go to New York City and the
seed the Statue of Liberty, that's special. Like Wow, here
I am in the harbor and there she is, Lady
Liberty right out here. You know, it makes you wonder,
doesn't it whether she's wearing anything under that toga. Lucy's
not even going to take a shot at that one
your eighties movie reference movie reference for the segment of

(06:52):
the radio program.

Speaker 6 (06:54):
It's gotta be animal or not. She's a harbor chick
national lampoon, right yep, Ghostbusters, So you were real close.
So so you go see Lady Liberty there in New York,
it's like wow. You know, if somehow they brought a
smaller version of it may be more difficult to see
with the naked eye to Omaha, you'd be like huh,

(07:15):
but you still take a selfie WoT with it?

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Wouldn't you? Oh?

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yeah, I gotta take a selfie with it. If they
brought a miniature version of the Eiffel Tower and they
say it's it the Council Bluff's best art gallery, I'll
pause for effect. Then you go see it and you're like, hey,

(07:41):
there it is. You know it's not a special so
you go to Paris to see it. Taj Mahal, I
don't know, start picking your various wonders of the world.
If I I mean, I understand. I've heard from people
who they have been up around like whether I don't

(08:04):
know what they determined the Arctic Circle to be. They
probably weren't all that close, but they were a heck
of a lot closer than Omaha. Up in the northern territories.
They up on some hunting or fishing expedition and they say,
you couldn't even believe it.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
It was just the pinks and the.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Greens and the blues, the sky, the purple. It's middle
of the night, and here you have this incredible magnetic
field that's causing the solar flares to burst into color
like this. It's amazing. It's like looking through a kaleidoscope.
And there I was freezing. Mike took us off out
there in the middle of nowhere, Canada, and it was amazing.

(08:45):
Now that's a life changing moment. You walk out of
your house at one hundred and fifty sixth in Pacific,
Like James, who sent me the message, So I saw it.
I was one hundred and fifty six and Pacific. It
looked okay, it was? It really life changing? James, was it?

(09:05):
Take a selfie, wish it with it, post it, post
it on Facebook. I bet his wife Sarah did how
do you know this guy?

Speaker 3 (09:13):
He sent me a text? So I'm just saying they could.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
They're gonna be on display tonight in case you missed
it last night, and you're like, oh, I gotta go
see these things. What you saw that your college roommate
posted on Facebook is not what you will see with
the naked eye tonight. The people are posting all that
stuff there that looked like this blinding red light across
the sky are liars and phonies, and they are not

(09:42):
to be trusted. But you can go Your phone can
see it tonight.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
My phone often disappears from next beside my bed, and
I I wonder where it goes.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Your phone can go out. How does a phone take
it selfie? With itself. Ask your AI that one right,
Let it tear itself in nuts. That's how we destroyed
the robots.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
It could work.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
You're like, what happens when AI takes over everything? You
just got to ask you a question that can't answer.
You give it a conundrum like how much wood could
a wood chuck Chuck if a wood chuck kuld chuck
would And I know the answer is as much wood
as a wood cut would Chuck could have for wod
chuck kuld Chuck would something like that. See it's hard. Well,
it's hard to do it, and that's why the AI

(10:37):
will fail.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Scott Boyes, Snooze Radio of Levin Kfab.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
I had no idea.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
So many of you were in on it, got all
these people emailing me saying I was here and in
the city and I saw it with my naked eyes
and all that. Yeah, but it didn't It didn't look
like it did with all the pictures on social media?

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Did it? Did it? Did it? Did it?

Speaker 2 (10:58):
They're enhanced pictures on social media. You saw something because
you knew you were looking for it. Now, let me
backtrack for just a moment and not be a completely
insensitive jerk and just pause for a moment and say,
isn't it nice that we had something where a number
of different people all came together and they went outside.

(11:23):
They stopped staring at their phones. Well they're taking pictures
of it on their phones, but stop staring at their phones, tablets, TVs,
big screen TVs, projectors, you know, whatever we have for
home theaters and entertainment. I know, how many people do
you know that have a home theater projector in their basement,
but they spend most of their time looking at their phone,

(11:46):
their tiny little phone screen that's about the size of
a deck of cards. How much did you spend on
the home theater projection?

Speaker 7 (11:54):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Thousands? It was great. I got the surround sound.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
It's great. What are you doing over there? I'm just
playing Candy Crush on my phone.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Anyway, we all got outside and we all went looking
for a light in the sky.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
That's nice.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Unfortunately most of you had to enhance it with your
phone and postline pictures about it. But that you know,
it's okay, It's all right.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
Are you still talking about scoundrels?

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Kind of liars and thieves? And you know how we
got the northern lights right?

Speaker 5 (12:32):
They just pushed down here.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Do they see the Aurora borealis in the Southern hemisphere? No, no,
because it's the Northern lights. The Southern hemisphere has their
own lights, called the Aurora Australias.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Did you know that?

Speaker 5 (12:47):
I didn't, Well, they know it in Australia.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
It's caused by the interaction between electrons emitted by the
Sun and the Earth's upper atmosphere thanks to our magnetic field.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
It uh, this is.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Actually solar radiation that if not for the magnetic field
protecting us, that would have melted our brains last night.
What you saw wasn't just oh wow, fancy lights. That
was your life being saved last night? Or did I
just blow your freaking mind?

Speaker 3 (13:25):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
If not for the magnetic field, what you saw us
pretty lights would have burned your eyes right out of
their sockets, melted your brain, tore your skin right from
your bones. But instead you were saved and we saw
some pretty green lights in the sky.

Speaker 5 (13:48):
Matten, what.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
Are you doing? A Mars attacked thing? Is that? What?

Speaker 8 (13:54):
That was?

Speaker 5 (13:54):
Pretty green lights?

Speaker 2 (13:59):
I thought you were impersonating Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 5 (14:02):
It's kind of the same, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Different?

Speaker 9 (14:05):
Doesn't make.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
And for all those who say this is amazing, is incredible.
It's like a once in a lifetime thing. Do you
know how many times we've seen the Northern Lights have
been visible here in Omaha, just in the last let's
say two years, counting last night, five times. The Northern
Lights visit more than your.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
Parents, certainly more than.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
And you can only see them through enhanced photo technology
as well. Yeah, that we've seen this happens occasionally. Did
you go out when you were a kid, Lucy and
see Haley's comet back in nineteen eighty six circa nineteen
eighty six ish, whatever it was, Yes, did you go
see Haley's comet? They played sprite Night.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
No, the.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
The comment not Bill Haley in the comments, how old
are you? Lucy was gonna say, yeah, I saw Bill
Haley in the comments before they got all big with
rock around the Clock. I liked him before they sold
out to the man.

Speaker 5 (15:18):
Come on, I was talking about shunning on.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Lucy is a million years old?

Speaker 8 (15:23):
No?

Speaker 2 (15:23):
The the celestial object.

Speaker 5 (15:27):
Yeah, that was the well.

Speaker 4 (15:28):
I didn't see it, but I know that it caused
a few deaths in a cult in California, didn't.

Speaker 10 (15:33):
It isn't that was that was a different comment. Wasn't
that Haley Bop hail Bop hal Bop?

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah, there's another band. No, that was a song by Hanson.

Speaker 5 (15:48):
Well that's right.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
No, that was m bop, m bop, m bop, oh
Bob not m bop.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Yes, anyway, And by the way, we don't know whether
the people who took their lives to go hang out
with that commt maybe it worked.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
We don't know.

Speaker 5 (16:12):
You're right.

Speaker 8 (16:15):
No.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
When we were kids, it was like this Hailey's comment
is coming around, and because we are of you know,
a younger age, they're like, you could be two timers.
You could see Haley's comment twice in your life. So
I was, I don't know, eight, and I thought, was
this coming around another seventy six year or whatever it is.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
I forget the thing.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
I just know that if I thought, like, if I
live in my eighties, I could see Haley's comment twice.
The problem is, I'm not one hundred percent sure I
saw it once. Everyone's out there going.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
Ooh ooh, look there it is. You can see the tail,
you can see it's incredible.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
And I'm looking going is that it? Well, you know,
I'm not a hundred percent sure I was looking at
the right thing.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
You can be because they have this thing now called YouTube,
and I'm sure that there's an old video of it
on YouTube. You could compare your vision with you see.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
That's the same thing as if you use your phone
to enhance the pictures. Well, I was looking at the
sky where it was. I'm not one hundred percent sure
that it's like those things where they say, look, if
you look at this picture and you stare at like
through the picture, a sailboat pops out and you're staring

(17:34):
at it, going I don't see it. That was me
with Haley's comment as a kid, Everyone's like, it's right there.
It's next to Beatlegeist, Like, are you talking about the
Michael Keaton movie that's gonna come on in a couple
of years. How do you even know about that? It's
right over there, you know. If you if you follow
the constellation O'Ryan over there next to Taurus and all

(17:58):
the rest, and you'll see it. It's right over there
next to the little Dipper. I'm looking, going, I see
the moon. Where is it in relation to.

Speaker 5 (18:11):
The moon next to the cow?

Speaker 2 (18:14):
David sends this to Scott atkfab dot com in the
Zonker's custom woods inbox, and he's given us the timetable
on Haley's comment. He said, I saw Haley's comment comment
the first few months of nineteen eighty six, could possibly
see it if still alive in two thousand and sixty two,

(18:35):
I will be eighty five at that time. That's from David. Yeah,
I'm on a similar timeline, I think. But you know
that the year twenty sixty two, it seems like none
of us will reveal. I maybe we won't, but that's
not that far away. I spent yesterday. Would you like

(18:56):
to hear about the minutia of my Dayjilli Scott. I've
always wondered how do some of these messages get on
your radio station when we hear about this public service
announcement brought to you by this group and the AD Council. Well,
I go to the AD Council's website and I load
in all of the public service announcements the psays that

(19:19):
air a lot of times, especially over the holidays, and
if we don't have enough of those things in there,
it creates a problem with our radio station.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
So this is the time of year.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
I go in there twice a year and I just
dump in a whole bunch of public service announcements, and
here's a fifteen second for this one. Here's a oh
you know what, I'm actually gonna play one of these
for you see if I can remember which one it was,
because I thought, I've got to find excuse to play
this on the air. Is this a real thing? I'm
not even gonna put this on the air, And I thought, no,

(19:52):
I have to. It's so dumb. I remember which one
I'll find it. Put all these in there, and they
and the AD Council tells me here it is. The
AD Council tells me which like when this is good through,

(20:13):
Like you can put this on the radio through March seventeenth,
twenty twenty six. And I think that's a long way.
When I think, no, it's not. It's next spring. There's
another one. This one goes through September twelfth, twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
I put it in there and I ended on and
there was one that said this one goes through like
February third, twenty thirty, and I thought it's like fifteen
years away, and then I realized, no, it's not. It's
like four years away. And then my hair turned even
more gray. That's even possible at this time. So here's

(20:49):
one of the public service announcements that I thought because
some of that, not all of them make the cut.
Here's the one I debated on. This is our news
radio eleven t KFAB version of smash it or trash It?
Do we allow this public service announcement space on our
radio station?

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Here? Listen to this.

Speaker 11 (21:09):
Talking about guns with others might not always feel comfortable,
but it could save a life. Here's a way to
start a conversation. Your family is going over to your
neighbor's home for dinner for the first time. How would
you ask if there are any unlocked guns in the home.

Speaker 8 (21:22):
Hey, hey, we're so excited for tonight. Before we come over, though,
may ask if there are any unlocked guns in your home.

Speaker 12 (21:29):
Our guns are stored securely lock in a safe that
the kids can't access.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Awesome.

Speaker 11 (21:34):
Learn how to have the conversation at Agree to Agree
dot org. Brought to you by the AD Council.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
That's a real public service announcement that they want us
to put on our radio station. So my question for
you is do we put that on the radio? Smash
it or trash it? Here's how I think that conversation

(22:02):
would go.

Speaker 11 (22:02):
Talking about guns with others might not always feel comfortable,
but it could save a life. Here's a way to
start a conversation. Your family is going over to your
neighbor's home for dinner for the first time. How would
you ask if there are any unlocked guns in the home.

Speaker 8 (22:15):
Hey, hey, we're so excited for tonight before we come over, though,
may I ask if there are any unlocked guns in
your home?

Speaker 5 (22:26):
That's not, dear rich, that's not the original how I mean, Look,
it does answer the question, though.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
Let's spend a few moments on on this premise, shall we?

Speaker 5 (22:46):
We shall?

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Now I understand the idea is, is you you want to,
I guess, make sure that gun safety is paramount to
anyone who has a firearms. Okay, fine, Ah, So now
your neighbors have invited you over for dinner. You start

(23:07):
the evening as they as you're welcomed into the foyer,
the entryway of their Yeah, and you're wondering, like are
these because you know, apparently you don't know them very well.
You certainly don't know them well enough to wonder whether
you're going to be sitting there eating ham and suddenly
someone's just gonna come running in with a gun. That's

(23:29):
some that is somewhere in the home unsecured, and there's
someone in the house who's going to take the opportunity
to gun you down while you're eating. Which if you
feel like these neighbors might shoot you, you probably shouldn't
accept their invitation to go over for dinner. They could
poison your ham. They could if the gun is secured
or unsecured somewhere, they can go get it because they

(23:51):
know where it is, and they know what the code
is and they know where they ammostored, and they could
shoot you. So what are you really asking? Are you asking? Like,
are you going to murder me or otherwise hold us
hostage here during this dinner? So if these are your
concerns about your neighbors, maybe.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
You know, go over to their house and eat ham.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
Oh no, they'd be totally honest about it, I'm sure
if you ask.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
So what are you really asking? So let's say, let's
give this example, and now, look if if you've got
sketchy neighbors and they've got kids who play with your kids,
and your kids are gonna be running in their house
now you've got kids in a house and you're trying
to find the best way to address your sketchy neighbor

(24:35):
and go, Look, I don't know how else to put this.
I want to make sure all our kids are safe.
And you know how kids, you know, if they see
a gun, they're gonna be like, hey, cops and robbers times,
let's get after it. You would have done it when
you were a kid. I would have done it when
I was a kid. I'm just letting you know that
in my home, if your kids are ever in my house,

(24:55):
I will make one hundred percent sure that my firearms
in a place that the kids can't get them. And
I'm hoping that you will do the same in your house.
I mean, let's have that conversation. Our kids are worth it, right, Fine,
that's not what this commercial is That commercial the public
service I'm not sorry, not a commercial that PSA is

(25:17):
even invited to your neighbor's house. If the premise is
you think your neighbors are going to kill you with
their gun, it doesn't matter whether it's secured someplace. They
know where it is, they know the lock, they know
where the AMMO is.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
They kill you anyway.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
They could stab you to death while you're eating. I
guess what you're really asking is, are you planning on
murdering us tonight? That's a whole different PSA. Here's the
other part. So if the idea is, do you have
any unsecured firearms in your home? So I guess then
the idea is is that you've got that your neighbors
have kids that are running around the house and they

(25:54):
could find a gun and come in there and go,
I wanted to show this to the Johnson family and
then they just start, you know, shooting holes in the
ceiling or whatever. Now, what you're really asking is you're
asking the wife, are you a good enough mom that
you have taught your kids the difference between right and
wrong and how to deal with a firearm that we

(26:18):
figure is just laying around your house loaded with the
safety off. You're insulting this woman's parenting ability, You're insulting
her children, You're insulting her as a parent. The husband
is just thinking, like, this isn't how I wanted this
to go. I wanted to make a pitch to you.
I invited you over here because I wanted to pitch

(26:41):
you on the fact that I'm a financial advisor, and
do you have any extra money you can invest with me?
I was going to try and find a subtle way
to get into that, but no, you come right through
the door and insult my house and my family by
asking whether we have any unsecured guns in the home.
Here's the answer to your question. None of your business,

(27:03):
because now put yourself and the other shoes. You're the homeowner.
You've just invited the new neighbors who just moved here
from Little Rock, Arkansas. They just moved in, and you
want to invite them over for dinner because you know,
you're that kind of neighborhood greeting home and you're like,
let's get to know our new neighbors. And they walk

(27:25):
in your house and the first the first thing this
guy says is like, Hey, thanks a lot for coming over. Yeah,
you're walking thanks to the invite. By the way, not
what a lovely home you have.

Speaker 12 (27:37):
Not.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
Here's a bottle of wine we brought over to help
celebrate the occasion.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
I hope.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
I don't know if you like red or white. We
brought both. My wife baked muffins. You should check out
my wife's muffins and you're thinking, that's why I invited
her over here. But they don't say any of that.
They not even thank you so much for the invitation.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
None of that.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
Not what I love what you've done with the color scheme,
the entryway walls, what you did with this wall in
comparison to that one. The contrast is so bold it works.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
They don't say any of that. You invite these people
in your home.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
The first thing they say is you got any guns
laying around the house. Now, I gotta wonder, why are
we about to have a gunfight? Do I need to
go get my firearm and be ready to go? Are
you wondering where it is in case you need to shoot?
Somebody is like, what do you think this neighborhood is?
Who do you think I am? What cut of hospitality

(28:39):
are we trying to do here? That's right, It's a
thirty second PSA that just gave me a good eight
minute rant. I'm probably missing some other angles, but I'm
asking smash or trash. I can delete this thing right now,
but I do want to if I can help sway

(29:01):
the results of this poll, because right now I'm getting
a bunch of people emailing saying trash it, says Charles.
That is a really awful PSA. I've been around some
bad PSAs and this one is bad. Ps I don't
have any unlocked guns in my home. If I want
to sway the results, I do want this to pop
up on the air occasionally, just so I can hear

(29:23):
it and laugh. Should we give it one more? Listen
and then we'll play smash it or trash it and
give you the results next? All right, here we go
one more.

Speaker 11 (29:34):
Talking about guns with others might not always feel comfortable,
but it could save a life. Here's a way to
start a conversation. Your family is going over to your
neighbor's home for dinner for the first time. How would
you ask if there are any unlocked guns in the home.

Speaker 8 (29:47):
Hey, hey, we're so excited for tonight. Before we come over, though, man,
ask if there are any unlocked guns in your home.

Speaker 12 (29:54):
Our guns are stored securely, locked in a safe that
the kids can't access.

Speaker 8 (29:59):
Awesome.

Learn how to have the conversation at agree to Agree

Speaker 4 (30:04):
I think you just need to add something to the end,
and that would be that would be and the invitation
is rescinded to you, morons. I'm a good parent. Bye,
we cannot be friends. Just do what I don't. Don't
invite your friends, your new neighbors over. Just you know
me in the street once in a while.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
And just in case I haven't said anything truly infuriating today,
let me give it another shot. Just before we come over,
let me ask you, the wife in this home, do
you have any unlocked, unsecured guns in your home?

Speaker 5 (30:38):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (30:38):
I wouldn't know about that. Let me ask my husband.
That's the more accurate conversation to have.

comments saying the better question is do you have any
unsecured children in your home? Signed Lucy Chapman. People are like,
how good a shot is your wife? That's a good question,
And yes, I do have unsecured guns. I'm carrying one
on my person that would be used to save my
life in case anyone I don't want coming through that

(34:26):
door comes through that door. Any other questions, here's some
ham So yeah, we're keeping it. We are keeping the message.
Thank you so much. A lot of conversation through kfab's
Morning News, despite Lucy's fantastic traffic reports, talking about, among
other things, the issue on six eighty, which I listened
to with rapt attention throughout the morning and I'm listening

(34:48):
to now. But a lot of the conversation had to
do with money costs, healthcare costs. Specifically, they had the
Evil Insurance the official Evil Insurance Man of kfab's Morning News.
I always liked listening to Art jetter On with Gary
Sadlemeyer and Jim Rose on kfab's Morning News. They dubbed

(35:12):
him the official Evil insurance Man, and they were talking
about how the reason why the government shut down is
because the Democrats said, we need taxpayer subsidies to keep
Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare costs lower. And the Republicans said, no,

(35:33):
we didn't want Obamacare to begin with because we knew
it would eliminate competition, it would raise costs for private
health insurance companies, and it would cause taxpayer subsidies to
go into Obamacare. And President Obama said, and you didn't
build that and whatever, and we got it anyway, despite

(35:54):
them saying no, no, that's all crazy. If you like
your doctor, you like insurance, you can keep your doctor
keeper insurance. We're not using taxpayer subsidies. Well, then the
Democrats just said, hey, we need taxpayer subsidies, as taxpayer
money coming in there to artificially lower the cost of Obamacare.
And people are like, well why not. What we want

(36:15):
is universal health care anyway. A lot of people feel
that way. Not all of them are Mom donnie voters.
People are just looking at why everything costs so darn much,
and they're saying, look, I'm trying to save money anyway
I can. I have a family of five and we
all have the latest smartphone, and I've got to support

(36:35):
these people. So the Democrats said, if you guys don't
give us taxpayer subsidies for keeping Obamacare lower, then we're
not going to vote and we'll let the government shut down.
And Republicans said do it, and Democrats said we will
and Republicans said fine, and Democrats said, your mom, And

(36:57):
then the government shut down for forty some days or whatever,
still technically shut down. Now, we think, based on the
Fox News updates and what everyone seems to be saying,
that the House will have their vote and then that
will give the president something to sign, and then when

(37:17):
the president signs it, everything's perfect asterisk. It's not perfect.
We still got to get people back into work. There's
a grace period, I guess there. The President's also like, Hey,
these people who've been working while other people have been
calling in quote unquote sick. I feel really bad for

(37:38):
the people who have been legitimately sick. I got mono,
I got the kissing disease I've been doing. I was
doing a lot of kissing right when the shutdown started,
and then I got the kissing disease and I couldn't
come to work. Well, the President's like, find the people
who have been working extra overtime shifts as air traffic controllers, tsa, whatever,

(37:59):
and just give them a whole bunch of money. That
is a business way of looking at this. Where the
President said, who are our best employees, right, reward them?
Who are our worst employees, who are the ones we
don't need? Get rid of them? Now at Trump and

(38:20):
the Trump Inc. Organization, he snaps his fingers. All those
things happen in real life. As president of the United States,
he snaps his fingers. Nothing happens because Congress either deliberates
it to death or a federal or district judge somewhere
steps in and goes no, and so nothing happens. But

(38:42):
so much of this, though has come up, and there
was a conversation there on kfab's Morning News with our jetter.
If you missed it, I'm in the process of posting
it to their podcast link at kfab dot com. Jim
Roses Rosie to Genozie was about the Rosarian plan to
lower health care costs, and I I'm not correcting anything
Gary and Jim said on the record on their program

(39:03):
today or any of their guests or commentaries, but there
is one more way, as an addendum to all of that,
that we can lower our health care costs. Our FK
Junior knows how this is done. It's not the easiest
or the most fun thing all the time. But one

(39:24):
big way that so many of us can lower our
health care costs is to be healthier.

Speaker 8 (39:32):
I know, is it? Wait?

Speaker 2 (39:35):
I know if you're not, but you're like, but I
still need health insurre right, I'm not talking about health insurance.
Health insurance costs. That's a whole different thing. And the
Republicans tried here with the shutdown with your taxes and
insurance costs. Obamacare needs to be dismantled. The government should
be out of health care. We need more options in competition,
like you have with car insurance. You don't use your

(39:56):
car insurance to Let's say you need a new windshield
wiper blade. You don't use your auto insurance to do that.
Otherwise it would cost four thousand dollars.

Speaker 4 (40:07):
Yeah, but you still have to have someplace to go
to get that new windshield wiper blade. So okay, so
you're not going to go to the doctor.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
For what, Well, no, no, you pay out a pocket.
So fort for the windshield wiper blade. You pay out
a pocket. You go to the place that offers it.
You know what the price is. You can price shop
windshield wiper blades, and there are lots of different options.
And because you're paying out of your own pocket, the
people who sell you the windshield wiper blade aren't like,
we can price this whatever we want. The poor sap

(40:38):
coming through the door's not paying for it. His insurance is.
And if his insurance is backed by the government, they
don't ever run out of money. We can make this
cost whatever we want, whatever we feel like. And we've
eliminated all the competition. We're run of only two places
in town that even offers windshield wiper blades. When you
have that the windshield wiper blade, it cost thousands of dollars.

(41:02):
That's what we do with health insurance right now. You
make you make your health insurance there like your car insurance.
You know you need to put some radiator fluid in.
You don't use your car insurance for that. Your car

(41:23):
gets hit by thirty deer at the same time.

Speaker 5 (41:29):
We call those herds.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
By the way, that's your two thousands movie reference for
this segment of the radio proram You didn't come up
with that, it might be twenty tens. Now there's a
movie that's popping in my head. It's one of the
worst movies of all time. I'll give you this one
that's super obscure. I'm thinking of The Ring two.

Speaker 5 (41:46):
Oh yeah, I wouldn't have seen that.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
The Ring is my favorite of the thriller horror movies.
The Ring Too is my least favorite movie I've ever
seen of any movie ever. As good as The Ring is,
The Ring Too is bad. But there's one scene that
sticks out where they're just attacked by deer after deer,
after deer after deer. What does that have to do
with the girl on the well nothing, it's a terrible movie,

(42:09):
don't water. But you know, so you're in that situation.
Your car gets attacked by deer, it's totaled out, but
you're like, I'll pay for it all right, now, you've
got insurance for that. You need a major body shop,
prepairs and new windshields and all the rest of this stuff.
You do that with your health insurance costs. You have

(42:30):
also if you want auto insurance, whatever someone can buy
for auto insurance right now in Massachusetts or Arizona, you
can buy here in Nebraska. You've got lots of options
that goes across state lines. With health insurance, it's like,
now this is what's offered in Nebraska. I guess I'll
take that. There's no competition. It's absolutely asinine. So health

(42:55):
insurance costs, that's how you bring those down health care costs. Sorry,
we all need to be a bit more healthy, don't we.
Maybe not all. Lucy doesn't. She looks great and healthy
as healthy can be for the rest of us. If
your blood type is gravy, you could probably do a

(43:18):
few things to lower your health care costs. If RFK
Junior has a news conference and he's talking about unhealthy
Americans and the example picture he uses is you, you
could probably be a bit more healthy if your annual
calendar revolves around when McDonald's is bringing them McRib back

(43:43):
and you base your entire life on that timeline. It's delicious,
But if it means maybe too much to you, I
could also go with the shamrock shake and usually do.
We could all be just a bit healthier to lower

(44:04):
a health care cost. Now, many of us get our
warning signs every year because the company says you've got
to go get a biometric screening or an annual physical
with a doctor. I'm like about one of these people
in the lab coats at a pharmacy like that, that's fine,

(44:26):
And so I go in there and I get my
biometric screening and they all ask the same question, have
you fasted today? The answer is always no. The answer
will always be no because if you're fasting, it changes
up your numbers, cholesterol especially, and so not fasting and

(44:48):
the fact that I don't eat very well, my cholesterol
numbers are and have been for years, for well over
ten years, they're like, your cholesterol is a little high,
you should go talk to a doctor about that and
maybe look at some medications. Now, until they get to
the point where they say, how are you still sitting here,
I'm probably not going to do anything about it. After all,

(45:09):
I haven't fasted, which they admit throws off the numbers.
But I still, you know, it's not like I'm not
getting warning signs. So I could either radically change my diet,
go on some medication, or Merk just unveiled a new
pill that slashes bad LDL cholesterol and at least like

(45:37):
by at least half in two thirds of the patients
who tried it. So they're saying this could open the
door to a future or heart attack and stroke risk
because of your bad LDL levels could plummet from millions
of people.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
Now.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
I have never once looked at someone who's taken something
like ozepic and suddenly lost a whole bunch away. I've
never once looked at them and thought that's a bad idea.
I've always looked at it like glad that exists, because
if I if I get to be morbidly obese, I'd

(46:12):
like to take a couple of injections and shed a
whole bunch of weight in a short amount of time. Hey,
I'm an American. It's my right as an American to
be lazy. So when they tell me now, and this
is gonna make it worse when they tell me now, like, hey,
you could either take a medication radically change your diet.

(46:33):
Or if when you get to the point where they say, hey,
your blood type is chicken grease, you really really need
to do something right now. I'm like, where's the pill?
And they say, here's the pill, and I'll take the
pill and it'll slash my bad cholesterol in half and
then I'll go celebrate with a plate of chicken wings.

(46:57):
I think this sounds great, So is it the No, No,
it's not. But maybe there maybe we don't need to
eat ribs for four meals a day. Maybe we can
mix in some greens.

Speaker 3 (47:14):
Things like that.

Speaker 4 (47:15):
What if what if a person tried to be healthier?
What if a person tried to eat more healthy food?
And it's really hard to find really healthy food that
is not genetically modified or filled with extra extra sauce,

(47:36):
extra stuff. It's really tough to find anything like that. Well,
they're working on that too, Yeah, making everything genetically right, and.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
The stuff that they that you can find there is
often more expensive and it has labels on their say organic,
and whether or not that is actual thing is also
difficult for consumers to decide.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
But I think be that as it may.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
You do, know, you're like, I'm either I'm gonna eat
lard today or maybe I just have a salad.

Speaker 4 (48:04):
Actually, lard is much better for you than some of
the other You definitely want to stop using seed oils
for sure.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
Right that people are like, well, this used to be
healthy for me, Like butter still is. Butter was bad
then it was good.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
That was bad and I.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
Don't know where it is, eggs, dairy. Heck, some people
are like, I'm intolerant to gluten and like, suddenly grains
and wheats, bread is bad for you.

Speaker 4 (48:28):
Let me stop you right there, sugar and free, let
me stop you right there, because that is a perfect
example of what I'm talking about. Coffee, bread and flour
and gluten and wheat. If you try some flowers from
other countries, if you try flour that is is produced
grown and produced in say Italy or some other European community,

(48:49):
then decide if you are truly gluten sensitive.

Speaker 5 (48:55):
You might you might be again hither That's my point.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
Either of us are doctors. But then you have someone
attached to politics, someone in the Trump administration, someone in
the RFK Junior administration, and they say some things, and
people are like, I automatically am going to dismiss everything
they say because they're tied into this presidential administration I
do not like. And half the country goes back and

(49:21):
forth like a fun game of ping pong on that
every four to eight years. You know, here's another way
we keep costs down. The Omaha Public Schools board members
were discussing whether or not they should still offer free
lunches for everybody.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
Here.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
I'll spare you the ten minute diatribe on this and
give you the about the ten second version.

Speaker 3 (49:42):
No, you should not.

Speaker 2 (49:43):
It was never bad when we were growing up, when
they'd asked our parents if we weren't on snap food stamps, EBT, whatever,
we weren't on welfare, it was never bad to ask
our parents to pay for the kids pay for our lunch.
Our parents paid for our lunch, and I can pay
from kid's lunch. No one's even asking me, though I
have tons of money. I could pay for my kids lunch,

(50:05):
but they don't even ask. They're like, we don't want
to embarrass any families by asking them, so we're just
gonna give all these kids free lunch.

Speaker 3 (50:12):
Not every kid deserves free lunch. This is not free.
It's funded by taxpayers.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
It's funded by your giant property taxes, and so much
of it goes to giving people who don't need free
lunch or free breakfast. Because they do that too. This
is a ten second version. They give it to people
who don't need it and aren't asking for it.

Speaker 3 (50:33):
Just ask for it. Save a bunch of money.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
Because when you decide, well we don't want to embarrass anyone,
we're just gonna give it to everybody. Well, then you
have less resources for the people who need it, You
morons voted in by we, the people of Omaha. So
that's what the OPS board's talking about. We could save
taxpayer money on that one. I mean, there's ways of
doing all this, just a matter of we get any

(50:59):
of it done. The spoiler alert, we probably won't.

Speaker 1 (51:04):
Scott Good News Radio eleven, we have.

Speaker 2 (51:09):
A new Kennedy coming up the political pipeline. His name
is Jack Schlosberg. Remember Caroline Kennedy Schlosberg. Jack Schlosberg is
is her.

Speaker 3 (51:24):
Son.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
This is the grandson a President John F.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
Kennedy.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
And let's see here, that makes him the uh nephew
of R.

Speaker 3 (51:37):
FK. Junior.

Speaker 2 (51:41):
I'm gonna get me a family tree. No, sorry, it's
it's to be his cousin. Be like a cousin. It'd
be his cousin. Yeah, yeah, because yeah, Dad, Grandpa was
here like one second. Anyway, they're all part of the
same family. Uh So, Jack Schlosberg, grandson of President Kennedy,
will launch his campaign today to replace Congressman Jerry Nadler.

Speaker 1 (52:05):
The uh.

Speaker 3 (52:07):
What you what are you laughing?

Speaker 2 (52:08):
I just say the guy's name and you start laughing kinda.
He is the Democratic representative of the mole underworld.

Speaker 4 (52:18):
He reminds me of a character I think from Princess Bribe,
but I'm not sure.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
Yeah, maybe he's a funny little guy, a longtime member
of the House of Representatives out of New York's fight
and twelfth congressional district. So he's launching his campaign for congress.
Let's see, how's this guy? How's he? Schlosberg is known
for his interesting social media posts, an outspoken critic of

(52:47):
the Trump administration who isn't, including though his cousin, Maha
Secretary of Health and Human Services r F k U
And this is I mean, it's one thing to say, Look,
he's a member of the family. He's got some ideas,

(53:08):
and I will be happy to debate his points. I know,
at his core he loves this country, as did his father,
as did my grandpa. We have different ways of getting there,
but I think if we work together, we I mean,
just babble something like that. This is not who Jack
Schlosberg is. He even mocked rfk Junior's spasmodic dysphoria or dysphonia,

(53:34):
which is the condition that affects his ability to speak,
not what he says, but how he says it. It's
one thing to criticize what someone says. It's another thing
to criticize how someone says it. If there's a medical
condition that leads them to speak in that way, It's

(53:55):
another thing to criticize how someone speaks due to a
medical condition when they're a member of your family. He
also asked his followers on Instagram, who was hotter my
grandma Jacqueline Kennedy On Nassas or Usha Vance, the wife

(54:17):
of Vice President J. D.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
Vance.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
I asked, you know, I don't know how many times
you've done that with your friends. You show a picture
of someone to your friends and go, all right, who's
better looking her? Let me show you a picture of
my grandma on her Prime that's Jack Schlossberg, grandson of
President John F. Kennedy, And even took a shot at

(54:43):
RFK Junior's wife, actress Cheryl Hines, saying she looks quote
super dehydrated unquote.

Speaker 3 (54:54):
For what why what?

Speaker 5 (54:57):
She's very thin?

Speaker 2 (54:59):
But but yeah, I mean, would you say that on
social media about your cousin's wife.

Speaker 5 (55:07):
Well, it doesn't look like they're a very close family.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
No, it's politics have destroyed this family. And I think
it also goes to show what has happened with a
lot of longtime Democrats, Like I support labor. They've given
my family a job. My dad was a labor man.
I'm a labor man, and I support the Democrats looking
out for the little guy.

Speaker 5 (55:31):
That's not what we see anymore, No, because of money.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
Yeah, because now it's I support the Democratic Party looking
out for the little guy who are not even in
the labor workforce participation rate because they refuse to work.
Democrats used to be for these hard working guys who
are trying to get ahead, at least that's what they said,
and now it's about, hey, don't work, and we'll just

(55:54):
take money from these evil, fat cat wealthy people will
give it to you. That's communism, that's socialism. If you
do work, we're going to take most of what you get,
and we're going to give it to people who aren't
contributing anything, including people came to this country illegally. Where
are the longtime Democrats who worshiped the Kennedys, where are

(56:19):
they now to not only call out the bad behavior
of this grandson, but to call out the very, very
different behavior we're seeing from d's around the country as
in democrats. Speaking of wealthy people, we've got a rather wealthy,
famous Omaha resident who made an announcement today about his

(56:41):
money that it's contrary to what he said before about this.
We'll talk about it next right after a Fox News update.

Speaker 16 (56:52):
Right here Pope Leo with a list of favorite movies
before hosting Italy's film industry, including Jimmy Stewart. It's a
wonderful life, an ordinary people with Mary Tyler Moore Americas
listening to Fox News.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
And Good Burger and Police Academy four, Citizens on Patrol.
He really liked that one, and I said, look at
this Caddy Shack two. Really, this is all the list
of the Pope's favorite movies.

Speaker 3 (57:22):
Sorry, and that's.

Speaker 2 (57:24):
I might have the wrong list. The Pope put out
his list of favorite movies, and I added.

Speaker 3 (57:28):
A few to it.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
I have researched my claims that among the Pope's favorite
movies are Police Academy four Citizens on Patrol.

Speaker 3 (57:37):
That is not on the list.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
It was actually Police Academy two, their first assignment, that's
on the list. Wait a minute, then, you know what.
This might also not be the right list.

Speaker 4 (57:50):
Where does the Exorcist come in?

Speaker 2 (57:51):
It's not the one where they go to Russia, is it.
There's gotta be I mean, there are no fewer than
twenty seven Police Academy movies. You're telling me none of
them are on the pope's list of his favorite movies.

Speaker 5 (58:02):
How about Stripes?

Speaker 2 (58:03):
Stripes should be on there. We're willing to learn. I
don't know if that's going to go against the Church's doctrine,
but maybe for this Pope. The Vatican, though, has a
message for the Catholics worldwide. Now again, full disclosure. I

(58:24):
am not Catholic. I'm married a good Catholic girl, had
our marriage blessed by the Catholic Church. We attend Mass,
our kids are being raised Catholic. I guess that makes
me Catholic by proxy. Scott, why don't you switch on
over to be a Catholic? What are you anyway? I

(58:45):
am a Christian. I'm a Christian mutt is what I am.
Let's not get into the weeds on that one. But still,
I haven't heard about this. Apparently there was this claim,
and you would think that perhaps more people than Catholics
would have heard about this. I would think that this

(59:05):
would be big news. But the Vatican had to respond
to it after there were a lot of claims. And Lucy,
you spend more time on social media than I do.
You're on ex Twitter all the time. Did you know
that Jesus came back?

Speaker 8 (59:19):
No?

Speaker 3 (59:21):
I didn't.

Speaker 4 (59:22):
Where's your proof?

Speaker 2 (59:23):
Well, it's the thing. I didn't get any news. Oh,
I think, well, and it turns out it was I
was a little kid, as were you at the time.
This is a fifty some odd year claim ish from Normandy, France.

(59:44):
A Catholic mother in Normandy said Jesus appeared to her
forty nine times between nineteen seventy two and nineteen seventy eight.
This woman, her name is Madeline, maybe Madeline, depending on
how you would like to pronounce it, which is funnier

(01:00:05):
Madeline or Madeline Madeline. Okay, we'll go Madeline. According to Madeline,
Jesus Christ conveyed messages and instructed her to, among other things,
erect a massive cross, which she did.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
She put this.

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
The thing was two thousand, four hundred and twenty.

Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
One feet tall.

Speaker 5 (01:00:29):
How many cubits.

Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
Six or seven six seven cubits? She'd put this on
a hillside there. If you've been to Normandy Omaha Beach,
maybe you're like, oh, I've seen this. So she erected
this giant cross, and she said Jesus told me to
do it, which I mean that checks out, does it?

Speaker 10 (01:00:55):
Well?

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
It does sound like something that he might do. I mean,
based on why some people say you know some guy
and look, I believe in the word, but it doesn't
mean I'm not leary if the guy sitting next to
me on the bus or if I'm in New York

(01:01:15):
and I'm on the subway and the guy next to
me says, let me tell you what Jesus told me
to do.

Speaker 3 (01:01:20):
I'm switching seats.

Speaker 4 (01:01:22):
That might be legit, though it might be, but I
think if Jesus tells you to do something, you don't
announce it.

Speaker 5 (01:01:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
Yeah, I'm just I'm switching seats. I'm just switching seats.
So this woman lived this life and she said all
this stuff, and there was, you know, the prophecy tied
to all of this. And one of the things that
Jesus apparently told her was, by the way, the world's

(01:01:53):
going to end before the year two thousand.

Speaker 5 (01:01:56):
And you got that wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:01:58):
Even if you're a true believer, you're like, it's twenty
twenty five. And if you're a real true believer, you say,
my mark for when the world end is when Trump
came down that escalator. A lot of people feel that way. So,
but here we are, we're still we're into twenty twenty five.
And whether or not we're in the matrix, I mean
we're allegedly here, right, I don't know that we're in heaven.

(01:02:24):
It's didn't right here. Really, I feel that way. Sometimes
Lucy might feel like it's more like the other place. Yeah,
so it's it's open to interpretation. But the Vatican looked
into the claims and after fifty some years they have
issued a statement, Jesus didn't come back and talk to

(01:02:45):
this woman. They are not to be the reports of
Jesus appearing in a small French town are not to
be regarded as genuine. Now they're not saying this woman's
a nut. They're just saying, look, we apparently the Vatican
has people for this. I mean, think about this in

(01:03:09):
the parlance that we you know, know, if if one
listener reaches out and says, your iHeart radio is not working,
and I wait a few minutes and no other listeners
come to me and say, yeah, your iHeart radio is
not working. Because when it's not working and that happens,

(01:03:31):
I get a barrage of people. I don't know if
you know this, but I Heart's not working and I'll
check it myself and check to see if it's working. So,
I mean, if one person sends me the message says
not working, like, well, it's not working for you, but
it seems to be working for everybody else. But I
still because of my job, I have to check in

(01:03:53):
on it, right, it would be irresponsible not to. Someone
calls nine to one one says, I've got uh buffalo
in my living room. I don't know if I call
the Humane Society or the police, but it's not here,
and it's got a gun on me. You're like, well,
that doesn't sound but you gotta you have to check

(01:04:16):
that one out, right, Woman says. She's like, like, are
you sure, ma'am? Well, I'm not sure. It might be
a bison not but there's the definitely some sort of
wooly beast not normally associated with my living room. Here
in my living room, and it's pointing a gun at me,

(01:04:38):
but it's got an orange tip.

Speaker 3 (01:04:39):
It might be a fake gun. Still, I think you
guys better get here.

Speaker 8 (01:04:43):
Now.

Speaker 2 (01:04:43):
They're sending someone to check that out. So woman says,
wouldn't you know it? Here he is again.

Speaker 5 (01:04:53):
But see, here's the difference, Jesus is here.

Speaker 4 (01:04:56):
Here's the difference with the scenario that you just laid out.

Speaker 2 (01:04:59):
I'm just saying, the Vatican has people that have to
check out on these claims, but.

Speaker 4 (01:05:03):
Right, and what I'm saying is that if they just
got just a couple of sentences of what they needed
to check out. They would be already able to check
that out, because that's not what the Bible says. The
Bible doesn't say when he's coming back or that I
mean no, but.

Speaker 5 (01:05:19):
It does say they have to check because it says
he is, of course.

Speaker 2 (01:05:23):
And so I mean, you think about how ego centric
we are, whether it's young people who want to feel
like they're part of a civil rights movement or something
really big that's happening, or just all the rest of
us on social media going. Here's a picture a selfie
of me or the northern lights enhanced by the by

(01:05:44):
camera phone. You can't really see it this well with
the naked eye, but if you do this, here's a
picture of me with the fake northern lights. So whatever,
we all feel like we're living in the most important
and most consequential time ever. Every election, this is the
most important election of our lifetimes. So collectively, wouldn't we
feel like when Jesus comes back has to be now?

Speaker 3 (01:06:06):
Right, has to be?

Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
We are the generation we are, We are the most
consequential people, and this is the most consequential time in
the all of history. And plus you can look around
and see a number of things and go if Jesus
isn't going to come back to deal with this, then
when is he going to show up?

Speaker 3 (01:06:26):
I mean, I mean, anyone get have any.

Speaker 2 (01:06:28):
So if the if, if, if the word is that
he's coming back, and this woman says he's here, you
can't immediately dismiss it because then you're dismissing the word.

Speaker 3 (01:06:42):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:06:43):
You can't be like, it's probably not him. You've got
to send someone to check it out. The Vatican's got
someone that has to go. And how how does he
check it out? Do they have one of those little
EKG readers like in Ghostbusters?

Speaker 4 (01:06:59):
Do you think that when Jesus comes back, he's just
gonna come sliding into some little town and hope the
word gets out. This is my point that the Catholic
Church has the Manual as we all do, that that's
not how it's going to happen. We don't know exactly
how it's gonna happen, but it's not gonna be like that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:19):
Well, Jesus just came to me and said, you said
you were going to talk in this segment about Warren
Buffett and then you forgot.

Speaker 5 (01:07:25):
Well, maybe you kind of are.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
I don't need the Vatican to check on that claim.
All right, we'll do that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:33):
Next Scotties News Radio eleven KFAB.

Speaker 2 (01:07:38):
All right, I got way sidetracked in the last segment. Sorry,
I'm sparing you from my version of Oh Warren, maybe
another day. But Scott Voorhees here, Lucy Chapman there. This
is eleven ten KFA B. Warren Buffett had previously said
I'm giving away half of my fortune, and now he says, well,
I don't know that's hard, so I'm not going to

(01:07:59):
do it. In fact, he signed up at the Gates
in twenty ten to encourage billionaires to give away at
least half their wealth of charity. So far, only a
few of the two hundred and fifty six billionaires that
signed it have done so, and Warren's saying it's not practical.
If you're looking for someone to give it, to give
it to. Lucy Chapman, She's a saint.
