Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott voice.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
We embark on this journey together. Over the next couple
of hours, You're going to hear some news, You're gonna
hear some weather. If Lucy decides that there's still major
problems on Don Street, she will alert us as to
the traffic issues. There will be some enlightenment. We'll laugh,
we'll cry. You might hear a guy call in to
a gutter show who has just fallen off a ladder
(00:25):
and get berated, and that any number of things could
happen over the next couple of hours. And I need
you to hold my hand. Like Hoody and the Blowfish.
I'm Scott Vorhees. And there is the most taken for
granted radio personality in the entire country. It's Lucy Chapman. Lucy,
what's up? Girl?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Not just here?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, what in the world happened last night? This has
to do. I don't well, it's gonna be the same rant.
I don't know that I can put two and two together,
but I'm already preparing for one of my favorite parts
of the show.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Sounds like Lucy has a conspiracy theory.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
So I'm hitting that button early today. But what in
the world happened last night? We had a plane takeoff
from Eppley Airfield. Okay, no big deal.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
There happens every day.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
American Airlines flight bound for Los Angeles. No one was
on it, and I'm kidding, well, they might be. I
think the are the Lakers playing at home tonight in
this first game of the NBA season. I don't know,
so people are flying to Los Angeles. Hey, your life
is your life. You've got your reasons. I've got mine.
(01:41):
LA is a fun place to visit once in a while.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I still is might be.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
You know what, if they dropped us off in downtown
Los Angeles right now, we would have a day. We
would absolutely have a great time. I'll take your word
for it, until someone car jacktice and threw our bodies
in the libre of tar pits. But up until that point,
we'd have a.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Great time until we stepped in Pooh, Yeah, that.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Could That could happen in my yard. I don't know what.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
You've a dog.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
There's some animal on just one little part in my yard.
I've sprayed stuff on it. I've done I don't know what.
I don't know if it's a cat or a possum.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
You sprayed something on an animal.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
No, I just on the yard like one of these
things like, hey, there's a coyote around animals like whatever.
When you gotta go, you gotta go. I don't know
what is That's not the point. An American Airlines flight
took off from Epley last night. After about a half
hour into this flight, the pilot, who already knew, hey,
there's an issue. I can't contact the flight attendants. I
(02:48):
think they call them stewardesses now or wait now, back
that up, reverse it. So, uh, he he couldn't communicate
with the toots, the sewardess in the plane. There was
some failure that disrupted the communications with the flight crew,
(03:08):
the on board flight crew, the flight attendants. And so
the pilot is like, huh, like this this thing on? Hellok, hey,
hey tutz, Hey, the streak ain't gonna make itself. You know,
he couldn't communicate with the stewardesses. And then then he
heard banging on the cockpit door. As anyone would assume
(03:33):
in this situation, it would be completely wrong of him
to assume, well, the coms are out. It's probably just
a flight attendant going, pilot, I've got your alcoholic beverage
and I'm here to bring it to you along with
your massage. I don't know what happens up there. I yes, Denzel,
(03:56):
I've got your cocaine. It's time to go on the fly.
Fly What that's your two thousands? Is movie reference? No,
it's not Snakes on a plane. That's it's the Denzel
Washington movie where he gets with in he gets all
coked up and then goes for a fly as the
pilot and then and he saved the crew. But they're
(04:18):
like he was high as a kite and like, yeah,
but his his uh, his ability to maintain composure was
off the charts.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I can kind of remember that pretty.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Good movie and it's Denzel Washington. Of course it's a
good movie. You ever see that bad movie with Denzel Washington?
Me either.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
No.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
So he hears a knocking on the cockpit floor, a
cockpit door, the floor. I'm in the baggage. He hears
a knocking on the cockpit door, and he rightfully assumes
this is probably a terrorist organization that is over. Of course, rightfully,
communications are out. Someone's knocking on the door.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Somebody knocking, He's got to assume, shut up. Yeah, if
the door is a knocking. Don't assume it's just a
flight attendant saying, hey, I don't know if the coms
are working on your end, we can't talk to you.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
You can't talk to us. Uh. So he's like, someone's
knocking on the door. I presume it was a terrorist cell.
I saw these people as they got on the plane.
Pilot's there, he's hanging out. He's just letting you know him,
the pilot. He's hanging out, looking all swarthy. You know, hey,
this is my domain in here, this is the this
is the cockpit, if you know what I mean. How
(05:38):
you doing, Thanks for flying, Thanks a lot for coming.
Good to see you. Everyone's coming on there, and he's
looking at these people, going, I don't trust that guy.
That guy looks like trouble. She's danger. I would, but
she still looks like danger. He's just he's sizing everyone
up as they come in, and he just assumes it
was a whole play, the whole flight, a whole nest
(06:00):
of terrorists on this flight. Omahaa, Los Angeles. We've been
watching this one for a while.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Everybody knows there are two people. You do not open
the door for terrorists and the landlord.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Kill my landlord. Hey, no way, see I l L
my landlord.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
There a god dog?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, do he bite kill my landlord?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
One of my favorite schizoph eighties.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I'm Eddie Murphy SNL references son that's that's that's one
that's kind of been forgotten with time.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Really, Yeah, not by me.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Do he bite kill my landlord? Watch that one today.
Find that on the OO tube if you can. Someone's
knocking on the cockpit door. He assumes terrorists have overtaking
the plane, and they're like, I presume everyone on the
other side of that door is dead.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Does he panic?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
No, He's just like, well, I've got two options. He's
half hour out from Omaha. Where's that put him? Why
is the nearest airport now? I know in the nearest
big airport is Omaha. But if he really thought it
was that much of a danger, can't he drop it down?
And there's a little airstrip in Harvard, Nebraska. Just land
(07:25):
it there.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Doesn't North Play have anything.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I don't know, Carney, there's places, there's nothing but fields
out there. You can drop that thing on the Interstate.
Harrison Ford would land it on a golf course if.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
You're out by Carney Sully would.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, just drop it right down. Let's see. The second
hole at Meadow Arc Hills is a long par five,
got a little bit of a dog leg to it,
but not much. It's a long strip of land. Just
drop it down on that par five.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Sully would have landed in that lake out there, Lake
Mackenzie or something.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
McConaughey, Yeah, that Lake Mackenzie, the Scottish locke out there
near Lexington. That's right now, that's Johnson Lake anyway. McConaughey
is further anyway, uh Oka, lala, Yeah, they any number.
He's like, I'm turning this thing around. I don't know
(08:17):
what's going on. I presume everyone's dead. People are trying
to bang on the I'm I'm calling the police.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Is it completely sound proof?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I guess like the.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Stewardesses couldn't yell in there, Hey we're all fine out here.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I know you can't. You guys dead, you can't. Well,
they probably didn't want to create a panic with the
totally alive passengers, especially those right there in first class.
Is there a problem, No, there's not a problem. You know.
You mean that's you're gonna create a panic there. So
(08:52):
they're just like excuse me, excuse.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Me, well that that wouldn't be a terrorist excuse me?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah, I don't. Can they not yell as loud as
they can through that cockpit door. Also, they're like, well,
I could probably text him, but as you know, if
you take a phone out on the flight, the whole
phone is like, yeah, we're yeah, this is your captain speaking.
(09:23):
We're cruising at about thirty six thousand feet right now.
And if you look out the left side of the aircraft,
wait a second, Oh my my altimeter is all over
the place. Does someone got a phone out? And then
the whole thing just goes up? You know, if you
take a phone out, then all the instruments get all
whacked out and next thing you know, the plane just
(09:43):
blows up. That's what happened in Malaysia. Probably, I don't know.
I'm not a doctor, so they could have I don't know,
called or texted him. Is there a doctor on the
plane with a phone? You know, they couldn't they just
call him?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Maybe they didn't have his number, could they?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I mean the pilot obviously is he's talking to ground
control and Major Tom So they can probably if they're
on the plane and they can't get through to the
pilot for whatever reason. They're like, hey, let me just
take my phone out. I'm gonna call ground control. This
is major tom to ground control. I can't reach the
(10:30):
pilot and I don't I don't really have any good
lyrics for the rest of that, but you know, so
then they can. Then the ground control contacts the pilot
and like, yeah, you're gonna hear some knocking on the door.
It's not terrorist, So like, I'm not falling for that one.
So the pilot turns around assume as the people banging
(10:52):
on the door are terrorists trying to come in to
hijack the flight to crash it into the Great Platte
River Road archway out by Karne. We're just gonna We're
gonna keep doing Carnee references in the hopes that our
friend we were talking about Carne the other day and
a former mayor out there is a super good dude
(11:14):
emailed in the show and said, thanks for talking about Carne.
So in case he's listening, we're gonna reference Carne again.
And in this reference, a plane is crashing into the archway.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I have to ask, didn't nobody think of slipping a
note on the under the door.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
You can't slip a note under the big door that
seals off the cockpit.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
It's only to keep terrorists out, not notes.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I don't know if you can get a note under there.
Apparently no one thought this is just you know, someone
letting me know there's a problem with the communication because
this is broken. It's probably broken out them. And I
don't know why. Why does the pilot need to talk
to the flight attendant and vice versa. If there's an issue,
the pilot needs to know about it, I guess. But
(12:00):
is it worth assuming the people knocking on the door
are terrorists trying to take over the cockpit calling the authorities,
Because then last night we started getting this on social
media and started getting the update here in the newsroom.
They're turning the plane around. The pilot thinks there's a
large group of people banging on the door trying to
(12:21):
get in the cockpit, turns the thing around.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Do you just call that stewardess? Fat let no?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Lands it back in Omaha. Police from here to Vladivostok,
Russia engage on epley. There's quite the scene if you've
seen some of the pictures. Everyone is there, police are there.
Epley police are there, the firefighters are there, medics are there,
(12:49):
Homeland Security is there. Your homeowners Association president showed up.
I'm here. If you never know, everyone is there. And
then it suddenly it goes from we think there's a
terrorist situation too. They just called off the police and
(13:11):
the fire and all that. Eptley Police are going to
handle it. Not to make them sound like Paul Blart,
Mall copp or anything, but suddenly it was like, oh,
there's a major de escalation. And then later it was
like there was a staff issue, and now we find
out because the intercom, the inner phone system on the
(13:34):
plane operated by SkyWest Airlines on this American Airlines flight
failed and the failure disrupted communications with flight attendants. And
when the pilot heard the knocking on the cockpit door,
he thought, here we go, and he turned the thing
around and said, I'm gonna let the police on the
ground deal with this. I'm probably me and my co
(13:56):
pilot here, probably the only living people on this plane
except for the people banging on the door, and I'm
not giving them control of this flight. I'm turning it around.
There was no security related incident, as it turns out,
it was the flight attendants going, yeah, this thing doesn't work. Yeah,
he probably already knows that is. Your wife ever woken
(14:16):
you up in the middle of the night and said, hey,
are you asleep? I was. I just was making sure
you're asleep. You're having trouble sleeping. I want to see
how everything was going. I was asleep. Now I wonder
if this issue with the communication failure was related to
(14:42):
the major communications failures we had in America yesterday. Therein
is the reason why something like an hour ago I
hit this button.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Sounds like Lucy has a conspiracy theory.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
This is a in terms of communication failures. This is another.
All right, now, what we'll talk about it next.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Scott Voices News Radio eleven ten K.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Baby Jeff email says, don't they have peep holes on
those doors? I don't know if that's a serious question,
but it might not be a bad idea or a
camera A uh yeah, just put a peepole on there?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Who is it?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Right? Yeah? Yeah? Is there no camera to see what's
going on out there? And then Angela says, never opened
the door for a land shark? And she says, that's
way before your time. It's true. I was alive a candygram. Well,
I hear which season that was in. Maybe I wasn't
(15:45):
quite alive.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Yet or second.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, yeah, but I certainly know the bit. Please, ma'am,
I'm only a dolphin. A dolphin, well, okay, land shark,
so good. And then Kit says, I would hypothesize it
was not the pilot's decision to treat it as I
possible hijacking. I bet there are procedures he has to follow. Yeah,
(16:11):
but that's dumb. So well it is he should have known,
I know the minute the pilot's like, oh, there's a
bunch of banging on the doors, probably just the flight
attendant hello, And then the terrorists are like hala the
(16:33):
next thing, you know. So what happened with the communications?
Why did they fail yesterday? Maybe it's because the same
reason everything else failed. Because America yesterday had a big
problem with our DENUS d and S the Domain Name
(16:53):
System aka denis aw U, that's the Amazon people, Amazon
Web services. The big AWS outage yesterday widespread disruption and
exposed our DENUS analysts say, big problem with how the
(17:14):
internet operates. It's so centralized that a single failure, and
they're saying Oh, it wasn't a hack. Lucy cocked her
head to one side, as though she doesn't believe that.
Hold off on a second on that it wasn't a hack.
It was a foundational Internet service that essentially acts as
(17:37):
an automatic automatic phone book look up. It translates URLs
to numeric IP addresses. That's the DENIS, and it's a
common error causes some problems. It's supposed to act like
a map, but if it loses its bearings, it can't
see where to direct traffic along this map. So our
(18:01):
denas got drunk and started swerving all over the place.
Our denas, a drunk DENIS was leading the way and
causing all kinds of problems and probably having a great time.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
And then it hit a bridge outsign mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
So the system couldn't correctly resolve which server to connect to,
and that little problem caused a little problem over here
that grew into a bigger problem down here that snowballed
until suddenly everything was all jacked up yesterday and people
are like, well, can't the government regulate No, That's what
(18:34):
net neutrality was all about. Remember that argument that none
of us understood being debated on Capitol Hill by a
bunch of old politicians who understood it less. Net neutrality
was the idea that the Internet is a system of tubes, which,
by the way, is an actual thing. An Electric representative said,
(18:57):
once the Internet is a system of tubes. And then
they're trying to figure out, well, are we going to
treat the Internet as a public utility like a highway
and allow people through government regulation to have touch point
access to it, or is it going to be the
Wild West? And America said yeahooo, we're shooting their pistoles
(19:22):
into the air. We decided to treat it like the
Wild West, which means that private companies that basically own
the cloud. I'm not even going to pretend to assume
like I have any idea what that is. Oh, it's
in the cloud, can we get it?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Wait, somebody owns the cloud?
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Well, yeah, AWS basically runs the I don't know if
it's owns the cloud. It's one of three or four
big companies that basically run the cloud computing market. And
an issue like this brought down a whole spectrum of
services that meant our cloud was very sad, and since
(20:05):
the world runs on a sad cloud, they can't run
if the cloud is.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Sad, it's gonna rain.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Yeah, he go rain. There's your family guy referenced ding
So all that happened yesterday and they're like, no, no, no,
it wasn't a hack. It was just an internal problem.
All right. Your internal problem may have cost hundreds of
billions of dollars. We'll address that after a Fox News
update next. An expert says the financial impact of yesterday's
(20:35):
AWS outage that caused a widespread disruption early yesterday, that
had kind of ripple effect problems yesterday and like late
end of the day yesterday, and I wonder if the
inter phone system. I don't know why, but I admit
I'm not exactly the most tech savvy person ever I had.
(21:00):
I mean, here's here's the level of my expert diagnosis.
We had. I think probably related to what happened yesterday.
We had a little issue here at the radio station.
And I looked at the issue and I said, I know,
I think I know just what to do and that'll
solve the problem. I restarted the computer and it worked.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Your Yeah, just your intelligence is just blazing and it's
just mind bottling. I'm blown away by it.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Never think that never never contact tech support until you
have restarted the computer. Hey, the computer didn't work, did
you restart it?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
So?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yeah, I wonder if this phone issue on this plane
that had to be turned around back to Omahon. Everyone thought, oh, no,
terrorists are trying to break into the cockpit. It was
just a flight attendance. Hey, our communications system doesn't work,
so I'm just going to bang on the door. A
lot of people emailed and said, isn't there a secret
knock that the flight attendants can use that the pilot knows,
(22:10):
not terrorists. Geez, what a mess. So it was a
big problem yesterday. An expert says the financial impact of
this outage will easily reach into the hundreds of billions
of dollars in loss productivity from millions of workers who
(22:32):
weren't able to do their job, plus business operations that
were stopped or delayed from airlines to factories. I called
a company with whom I do nationwide business. That makes
me sound very important. Yes, is this business? Yes, this
is Scott. I'm here to do business. Is this the
(22:52):
business company? Yes? I want to do some business right away,
but we're having a little problem here with our communication systems.
They're all jacked up thanks to the outage. Ah, well,
maybe tomorrow would do business. So the thing that gets
me about this, though, is the lost productivity from millions
of workers who can't do their job. How many of
(23:16):
them are under the age of thirty five, Because what
happens is companies say, all right, we're gonna lay off
a bunch of people. And this is not related to age.
Please stand next to this picture of George Clooney and
if you are grayer than George Clooney, you're time for
(23:38):
you to clean out your desk and get out of here.
And like they picked like George Clooney twenty twelve, George Clooney,
little salt and pepper, Like if you're grayer than George
Clooney twenty twelve, get to step in and then say
you got all the young people in there. And then
the computers go out, and they're like, well, doesn't anyone
(23:58):
know how to fix this? No? Oh, all we you
know is that when we have to do the work,
we pushed the button on the computer and the computer
does the work, and we if the computers go down,
we don't know how to manually do any of this.
You sure there was no one yesterday, says, oh, yeah,
I've worked here since before the computers did all this stuff,
(24:21):
and I know what to do. One of the proudest
days in my broadcast career other obviously than this. One,
one of the proudest days of my broadcast career is
I was a young producer and the computers went down
at work and I was part timer. Yeah, I might
have still been an intern at that time. So what
(24:42):
was that Scott last week? Hey, that's enough out of you,
don't start. And the boss the computers went down, and
I say, well, we can't do this thing because the
computer went down. And he said, oh, you can't do
it because the computer went down. Well, back in my
day we used to. I was like, all right, hang on,
(25:03):
you have we got to edit something. Get me a
reel to reel and a razor blade and some edit tabs.
Let's go. And I was able to old school the
thing that needed edited and created and you had to
like reloop it and all this stuff, and I was
able to. It wasn't great, but I was able to
do it. And my boss was very impressed that I
(25:26):
was able to do broadcasting one on one stuff. But
no one learns how to do that stuff anymore. So
computers are out. People are like, can't do any of
this because the computers are broken. How did they do
it before all the computers were doing all this stuff,
before everything was on the cloud. Were they really not
(25:47):
able to do it? Or did they just use that
as an excuse on a Monday to come in and go, yeah,
I can't I can't do it. I'm just gonna go home. Yeah,
computer one boot up or whatever. I'm just gonna go home.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
I do that every morning, right.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
And as far as like the billions of dollars in
loss productivity, is that money really lost or was it
just transferred to today? It's like one of the double today,
I know. And then you know what happens when that happens. Right,
So they the bean counters look at everything and they go, wow,
I tell your Tuesday proceeds are way better than last Tuesday.
(26:29):
And then we get to next Tuesday, Hey, what happened? Well,
because the problem on Monday and then all the business
is on Tuesday. Yeah, but you're way off from what
you did last Tuesday. Well yeah, but this is a
viable excuse. It's not how we work. We need to
we need to do seven percent better than last Tuesday.
(26:49):
But that's impossible.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Shut the computers down, right, so cut the cord.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
That's that's so corporate. So was is all that money
gone or it just transferred to today? Like all these
people that go, we're gonna do a nationwide boycott of
this store because we don't like that they're too trumpy
or not trumpy enough or what they're they're are they whatever,
whatever boycott there is. We don't like that this store
(27:18):
did something that we don't like. Is we're gonna boycott
a nationwide boycott of this store. Okay, but what are
you gonna do tomorrow? What I gotta go to the
store to get eggs? You know? So all that boycott
money was just transferred to the next day or the
day before. Oh, there's a boycott at the store tomorrow.
I better go there today and load up so I
(27:40):
can be a part of the boycott. You people. So
there's like, oh, the financial impact could be in the
hundreds of billions of dollars for yesterday. Today's people still
got to do their stuff, right, I don't, but it
does expose All it takes is one little in this case,
(28:02):
the domain name system the DNS, the DNUS. All it
takes is for our DNUS to go down and then
insert joke here.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Scott Vorhies News Radio eleven ten.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Kfab Mark emails Scott atkfab dot com and the Zonker's
custom woods inbox says, I still can't get you guys
on my smart speaker says it can't find Kfab on iHeartRadio. Well,
the smart speaker the of who has a girl's name
that I can't say live on the radio because it'll
set off your smart speaker if she hears me talking
(28:39):
about her LEXI for short. That was one of the
problems that came up here when they had the AWS
outage yesterday. So they say it wasn't a hack job.
No one tried to take Amazon hostage and say we're
gonna shut down your cloud computing services unless you pay
(29:01):
us a ransom, which is the same thing we hear
all the time, including times when someone has absolutely hacked
a business and suddenly it's like our computers don't work,
and then the company says, oh, we're having a little
technical issue, not a big deal. Meanwhile, they're scrambling around
internally going, well, didn't our firewalls block these hackers from
(29:25):
taking our systems hostage and holding us for ransom until
we pay this amount of money. We can't get our
internet back. How did they get through? Oh well Tom
and Accounting was watching porn. Yeah, but he always does that.
That's his job. It's his job. It's a long story.
But you know, someone clicked on the wrong thing and
(29:46):
next thing you know, our computers are all broken. So
they say this wasn't a hack job. Lucy is the
official conspiracy theorist in this program. Are you buying it? Well,
of course not, of course not. And you're basing that
on Well, first.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Of all, you said something about this is a domain name.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
It's the DENUS, the domain name system.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
So did it crash because everybody was trying to buy
King Trump?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
No, it's not how it's not that kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Oh well, then I believe this was maybe a very
small emp strike, just to test things out.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Maybe it sounds like Lucy has a conspiracy theory.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
You can laugh, you can make fun, but it's better
to be optimistic or pestimist.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Yes, pessimistic. The denis where. Yeah, the DINAS has been
around for a very long time.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
So is water. But it was electricity.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
I've been making Denis jokes since I worked in telemarketing
that has something to do with So yeah, it's and
in fact, there are a lot of tech people says it.
It's a common problem. And this is a quote to
the BBC. This girl says people who work in the
tech industry are rolling their eyes right now. Oh it's
the Denas. It's always the Denis. It's something I hear
(31:11):
a lot when something happens, they're like, oh, why did
this break the dinas. Good morning. My name is Scott Vorhees.
That is Lucy Chapman, and here we are Splendor and
or Glory, two hours of homeschooling for free. If at
any point you don't like this radio show, we will
(31:32):
give you a full money back guarantee. It comes out
of Lucy's pocket. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office arrested a
naked man roaming a Northwest Omaha neighborhood near one hundred
and forty fourth and Aida Streets early yesterday morning, walking
up to multiple houses and knocking on doors. County sheriffs said, sir,
(32:00):
is until next Friday night. He said, great, I'll be back,
and then he sauntered off all naked and stuff.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
What was he looking for? Pans?
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Has anyone seen my supersuit? There's your two thousands movie
reference for this segment of the radio program, Honey, where
is my super Suit?
Speaker 3 (32:26):
The Incredibles?
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah? Wow, I don't know where the button is the
click when Lucy gets one right?
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Yeah, I haven't even seen it.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Where is my supersuit? Yeah? They took the guy into
emergency protective custody. They said, there's no threat to the public. However,
here's the story from k e TV News Watch seven.
There's no threat to the public. However, if you encountered
the man and were a victim of a crime, called
(32:57):
the Douglas County Sheriff's office, which would mean, right now,
there's someone who heard this story when twenty five and
a half hours ago they were accosted by a naked man.
This naked man, narrow it down, who was running from
(33:17):
house to house and there was some woman like, yeah,
I went out to get in my car and go
to work, and he came up and he kicked me
in the shins and I said, hey, he took my
purse and ran off. He wasn't even covering himself with it,
and I thought about calling the police because I thought
it I did think it odd.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
But he took my phone.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Yeah, I thought it was odd that there was a
naked guys running around kicking shins and stealing purses and
banging on doors or whatever he's doing. But I didn't
want to bother them. The police have a lot of
things to do. But now that I hear that, the
police are saying, oh, if I was the victim of
a crime, I should call them, Well, then perhaps I will.
(33:59):
That's that just seems like good citizenry there. If you
encountered the man and were a victim of a crime,
call the police. Oh is that what I'm supposed to do? Hey,
you never know. Some people you have to hold them
by the hand and lead them through this life. A
(34:19):
lot of obstacles, a lot of rules to follow. I
would think most people know. If you're assaulted by a
naked guy and you didn't pay for it, call the police.
I want to know what he wanted?
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Did anyone pants?
Speaker 2 (34:38):
He wanted pants?
Speaker 3 (34:41):
This is not hard to figure It is.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Hard to figure out because if there's a guy running
around naked, I think the last thing he wants is
pants he made.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Didn't you see where Wolf in London.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
He made a conscious effort. Oh, maybe that's it.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Pants.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
No, I mean in those movies, if you wolf out
and then come back to human form, or if you
suddenly turn into the Incredible Hulk and the SiZ is
thirty three pants you were wearing suddenly go to size
seventy eight, and then you go back to human form.
Suddenly your little ripped up little purple shorts still fit.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Not in American Werewolf in London? He was pantless.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
American wear Wolf in London. His hair was perfect. There's
your warren Zevon reference. God bless Warren Zevon. I don't
know if this guy wanted pants.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
I just what I found some What if.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Someone had answered the door, like some kid getting ready
for school in the morning, Mom, there's a there's an
unclothed citizen at our door. You know, he's just like
furiously banging on the door. Hello, Hello, in the open
the door. Yes, yes, I don't know if you need
a new vacuum clean. Have you found our Lord and
(36:02):
Savior Jesus Christ. I'm with the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter day Saints and I, Oh, where is my
book of Mormon? Oh? I left it in any pants?
I'm not wearing.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Any others.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
We think there's a naked Mormon at the door. Is
he wearing a backpack? He's not? Okay, then he's not
a naked Mormon. Tell him to go along on his way. Hello, Hello,
maybe he needs help? Yes? What is it? Hey? I
just wanted to let you know it's cold outside. Yes,
I can see that moving along? No pants, moving along?
(36:37):
Naked man?
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Was it no pants day yesterday? No?
Speaker 4 (36:42):
No?
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Yeah? Was he greased up? There's another family guy reference.
So they arrested a naked guy who was roaming an
area near one hundred and forty fourth in Ida, knocking
on doors. And then they then he got on a
plane and was banging on the cockpit door, wondering if
(37:04):
it was ironic? All right, So they got that guy
in custody, emergency protective custody. How long can they hold
a naked guy that roams neighborhoods banging on doors? Three
days tops? Which brings us to this afternoon two o'clock
council meeting. They've got a special two o'clock meeting today
(37:24):
at City Hall where the city council will talk about
and allegedly have a vote on something that has no
chance of passing. This is Councilman brinker Harding's amended or
amended ordinance to ban homeless encampments. The amended version says,
(37:46):
all right, all right, all right, we're not going to
just say, hey, homeless guy, you owe us three hundred dollars,
And he's like, I don't have any funds right now,
which is why I'm here on the streets. I'm a
little low on cash. Also, do you have any soup
in a boot? I can have?
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (38:04):
No, no, no, five hundred dollars. Well, it was just
three hundred dollars. All right, you want to make it seven.
We're going to find homeless people. How dare you be homeless?
The councilman said, some of these people are. They're out
there and they're a danger to themselves and others. They
have unchecked and untreated mental and addiction issues, and letting
(38:28):
them live on the streets is not the best course
of action for them, for the home and business owners nearby,
for people driving around swerving around them. As they're saying,
I don't know if you saw my sign, you know,
on the right of way, and nor is it beneficial
(38:49):
for them. It's not beneficial for them to be out
there living on this and it doesn't look good for
the city. So the amended version says, we're going to
put them in a diversion if you're living in an encampment.
First they're like, all right, we noticed that you're living
here in a box on public property. You can't live here.
(39:16):
And then they move across the street and they're like, nah,
we're not doing this. So you have twenty four hours
to get your life together and buy a house. And
if they don't do that, what are you laughing at?
You don't think that's possible. You don't think that's a
all right, hey you I don't know if you thought
(39:36):
this was a good idea. Why don't you call your
investment broker and cash out some necessary funds, put down
twenty percents you don't have to pay, you know, p
M I, and buy yourself a house tomorrow, you know,
And they have twenty four hours to not be homeless,
and if they don't, then they go into a diversion program.
I don't know who's administering the diversion program, which shelter
(40:01):
they go to. But it'd be some process for at
least trying doing something better than just throwing a blue
tent out the window and saying, here you go, good
luck making it through the winter. We don't even stop now,
they just throw tents at people. So if they don't
(40:21):
do the program then you could face up to thirty
days in jail and a fine. But they say, well,
no more than three hundred dollars making a million dollars,
they can't pay it, And people are like, we're gonna
jail homeless people. We would hope it wouldn't come to that.
But what are we doing now? Because nothing is leading
to a growing problem, Maybe we can try doing something.
(40:46):
Councilman Harding says his biggest concern is the safety of
the city, the harm to public property, and the health
of the people. Also, he wants to make sure his
name is out there. He's running for Congress, and then
Mayor John Ewing says, I don't support that. I didn't
mean that to sound like a cheap shot at Brinker,
just joking. But Mayor Ewing says he does not support
(41:10):
any ordinance on homeless encampments. Until his pilot program is
given a chance, and remember what his pilot program is.
We're just gonna wait six months and see if the
homeless problem is better in winter. Yeah, look at this,
people living on the streets is down eighty seven percent
in the month of February. I guess we didn't need
(41:31):
brinker Harding after all. Also, it's winter. So the meeting
today is at two o'clock. The council. You can put
anything in here you want, as long as a Republican
leaning council member put it forth, the majority Democrat leaning
council will not vote for it. Brinker Harding can say
I want to vote that today is Tuesday, and they're like,
(41:54):
I I'm not seeing it. Where's your evidence? Brinker Harding said,
without evidence that day is Tuesday. Denied. Why do we
have so many people on these streets anyway, Well here's
one reason. An example in Florida. This is not a
fun Florida Man's story. Twenty three year old Florida man
(42:15):
with a violent criminal history was on the run for
two months before finally being arrested for attempted murder, assault
and strangulation. They got him, police did their job. They
put him before a judge, A judge says, how about
a very low bond and someone I don't know who
posted it and he's back out on the streets in
(42:37):
less than forty eight hours. What how? Why what do
these judges do? If you want to just coddle thugs,
I'm sure you could probably start your own business. It's
Roy's Thug Coddling Emporium. You're a thug and you want
(43:01):
someone to tell you it's okay, baby, and just stroke
your hair and let you suckle on my teet whether
or not I'm lactating, then please come on down to
Big Roy's Thug Coddling and pour him. Why don't you
do that? Have fun? It'd be fun for everybody. Make
sure and have windows. People can walk by and stare
(43:21):
at the streets and go, oh, look at that a
thug is being coddled. He looks like a mean one too.
He's an ornery one. Us walk by and just like
pop in and you could sell tickets. I mean, why
be a judge and find someone who a few months
ago ambushed a woman jogging on a trail in the
(43:43):
Orlando area and assaulted her violently, And yes, I'm talking
about in a very horrible way. Attempted murder too. They
bring him in poor a judge. Judge is like, he
doesn't look like he'd do something. Would did you do
something like that? Know your honor? Well, please don't waste
(44:07):
my time, get on out scat. This is why we
have a situation in oh I thought, I said a
moment ago I was going to find out where this was,
and I didn't. I think it's Oklahoma if I'm wrong.
But this guy is charged with murder because someone assaulted
(44:34):
his fourteen year old daughter. This guy then shot and
killed his daughter's attacker, so he's charged with murders. He's
facing those charges. He says, we discovered this sixty seven
year old guy I have been grooming and assaulting our daughter.
(44:57):
He's been charged with several counts of stock looking of
kids and all this stuff. So this guy found the
guy and shot and killed him. So he's charged with murder.
He's out on bond, awaiting trial. And during this time,
(45:18):
he's running for county sheriff Lono County, which I believe
may or may not be Oklahoma. He says, I'm fighting
back not only in court, but also running to unseat
the current sheriff because this is another example of a
(45:38):
guy who'd been in and out of jail, in and
out of jail, no one ever did anything about this guy,
and so I took matters in my own hands, vigilanti justice.
The people will then decide whether or not they appreciate
that kind of thing. So he's he could be elected
this November next to here in just a few weeks
(45:58):
sheriff of this county and then found guilty of murder,
which apparently he's not really fighting. He's trying to prove
a point. This might be a more interesting election next
month than the mayor's race in New York City. What
will the people in this county do? Are they like? Yeah,
(46:19):
I know you shouldn't just go kill a guy, but
I don't know that I would have done anything any different.
I'm going to vote for this guy, veteran vigilanti justice.
And maybe your next sheriff who would spend most of
his time in jail, well, hey, he'd be close to
law enforcement. He would know. You believe this.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
Not? I mean, yes, yes, I can believe it, because
there's very little I wouldn't believe at this point. But yeah,
and I think he'll probably get elected.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
I'll be very curious whether they do that. Yeah, I
don't think he'd get elected here, But in this I'm
gonna find out where this is, which means I'll forget.
We got a fire Fox News update in a moment.
I want to throw this story in there real quick though, too.
Another guy convicted felon in and out of the prison system,
(47:15):
was arrested yesterday at Hartsfield in Atlanta. Hartsfield Jackson Airport,
big airport, the world's busiest airport, they say in Atlanta.
Why because this guy with a history of mental issues
who was in and out of jail, went to the
airport with firearms. They located an ar style rifle twenty
(47:42):
seven rounds of ammunition. How did they know this guy
was in the airport and had threatened to shoot up
the airport because his family gave police a heads up. Hey,
we think Billy Joe actual name, first middle. We think
Billy joey to the airport to do something dangerous. He
took a bunch of guns. And this guy is dangerous.
(48:04):
We're his family and we know watch out for Billy Joe.
And so they took Billy Joe into custody. I think
this biggest concern was he was parked in the drop
off zone. That's gonna get everyone's attention right from the
get go. You can't park Hey, hey, what are you doing.
This guy could walk into the airport with bomb strapped
to himself and get less attention. If he just parked
(48:27):
in the actual parking like the parking garage, he'd get
less attention than getting out of his car and parking
it in the drop off zone. So he did that
and then he went in. He got into the airport
South terminal and police swarmed and took him into custody,
charged with terroristic threats, attempt to commit aggravated assault, possession
(48:48):
of a firearm, and commission of a felony possession of
a firearm by a felon. And if he gets before
this judge in Florida, he'll be back out in the
streets by Thursday. Fox News up date next Scott. This
is a tough story to do because at the root
of the story is a man with a son who
(49:11):
he says suffers roughly seventy five or more seizures a
day a day.
Speaker 3 (49:23):
I cannot even that's not even yeah, horrible.
Speaker 2 (49:27):
Where your kid? I've watched my kid have a seizure.
I don't know if I've ever shared that story. He
was only about two and just got super overheated, maybe
a fever. And it was a Christmas time. The whole
family was there, and he was running around and just
was not gonna stop, even though I'm sure his head
(49:48):
was pounding or whatever. And he's lying there because finally
they're like, we're like, son, you gotta lie down for
a second. And he's lying there and my wife's lap.
And then I watched my two year old kid have
a seizure, and it's it's awful the saving grace of
that day, Other than seizures sometimes just quickly pass and
(50:13):
they don't have to be anything more than a scary
one off. But the whole family was there. My brother
in law is a doctor, so I went and got
him and we were able to get through that system.
But it's hard to watch. I don't know that you'd
ever get used to watching your son. I don't care
(50:33):
if that kid's too or in this case, this man's
son's twenty three years old. I don't know if you
ever get used to watching your kid have a seizure.
Seventy five or more seizures a day. So you may
have already guessed we're talking about a kid with seizures
in Nebraska. This somehow has got to be a conversation
about medical marijuana.
Speaker 3 (50:54):
Right, That's kind of where I thought you were going.
Speaker 2 (50:58):
This man hopes that met nicle marijuana will help the
suffering by his son. All right, time out, And I
don't mean to criticize. Maybe maybe I'll make it less
personal and less critical sounding. Maybe I'll just put myself
in someone else's shoes and go, what would I do
in this situation? You know what i'd do? Move?
Speaker 3 (51:20):
Well, it is legal in other places.
Speaker 2 (51:22):
It's legal pretty much every other place.
Speaker 3 (51:25):
Is not in Iowa, right, I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (51:31):
It's marijuana is all over the place. Yes, So, And
I know that there's a difference between the medical marijuana
that might be prescribed by your local shaman or whatever,
and hey, here you want to puff of this. I
know there's I guess a difference. I don't know. I'm
not really a marijuana guy, but this guy. You know,
(51:55):
if if my hope is if people are saying, you know,
would really help that kid medical marijuana, But I can't
get it here. I legally. All right, So my options
are you get it illegally, which I don't think is hard.
Just pop into any middle school bathroom, Hey, can I
borrow your vape? Pin? I'm gonna try something, or you move.
(52:19):
If the alternative is, I'm gonna sit here and I'm
going to watch my son have multiple seizures and I'm
just going to wait for the help to come to
me and let government take care of this. No matter
what the issue is, You're gonna be waiting a long
time and you'll probably be disappointed when that alleged help arrives.
So I certainly I don't want to criticize this guy
(52:41):
as a father. He's trying to do right by his kid,
and he's trying to help other families. Okay, I will
criticize this guy as a talk radio caller. The story
here from KMTV three news now has a headline, and
it's it's a big headline. Father and medical cannabis advocate
(53:06):
hung up on during Governor Pillin's monthly radio call We
don't carry it here on eleven to ten kfab. We
thought about it, but every month the governor does a
monthly call in show. Hey, you're on Governor Pillen, what's
your question or comment for the governor. And then, as
I know all these callers are instructed, if your phone
(53:29):
screener is worth a darn okay, we're gonna put you
on with the governor. You can be up next. You
need to get to your point quickly, and then the
governor will answer your question. If he has any follow up,
he might ask you for additional conversation, but chances are
you'll get that chance to make that statement or ask
that question, and then then the show moves on. What
(53:53):
you're not entitled to is an hour long broadcast conversation
with Governor Pillin. And there's nothing worse in talk radio
than a guy calling up going yeah, hey, I want
to know sub section three of paragraph four and this
LB seventy seven that you signed in twenty twenty three
(54:15):
can tell me what it says. Because I got what
it says. I'm going to read something to you. Hey,
I want you to check out this book by this author. Hey,
if you ever heard of you know like that's that's
a terrible talk radio caller. Thankfully, it's only about eighty
seven percent of most talk radio callers. Scott or using
(54:35):
now I'm just saying, So this guy gets through the governor,
the governor show, was that you?
Speaker 3 (54:41):
What happened?
Speaker 4 (54:42):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (54:43):
Was that you or me?
Speaker 3 (54:43):
It wasn't me? Okay, I don't know, it wasn't me.
Speaker 2 (54:47):
The governor is taking the call, and this guy gets through,
and KMTV three has a reporter there in his house
to watch him talk to the governor, which is why
you can hear him as though he's not on a phone,
and the governor sounds like he's on a phone. He's
on speakerphone, which is another no no when calling a
talk radio program. So let's listen in on this.
Speaker 4 (55:10):
Thank you, thank you for taking my call. Governor.
Speaker 6 (55:13):
I'm gonna come at this from a little bit of
a different angle. I looked at looked up the Constitution.
In an article two, it talks.
Speaker 2 (55:21):
About all right, point number one, you can reference the Constitution.
We love the Constitution. Do not call a talk radio
show and start reading the Constitution. People will go into
a coma.
Speaker 3 (55:37):
I'm doing it now. Just listen to you.
Speaker 2 (55:38):
I know, I know, sorry about it. They will go
into a coma. So no need to do that. Just
get to your point and move on. So, Governor, I
read the Constitution.
Speaker 6 (55:48):
A distribution of powers, and I think this is something
you and I can both agree with that there are
three branches of government are worth set up in such
a way that they each have their own lane and
that's where they need to stay. Would you could we
agree on that?
Speaker 4 (56:03):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (56:04):
And then so I have a question for you. This
is I'm going to read something and this is from LB.
Seven That was LB seven seven when when it was
enacted into law, which I'm you know, I personally am
supportive of it, and I know that you're supportive of it.
Speaker 4 (56:19):
I'm going to read one, just one thing real quick.
Speaker 6 (56:22):
The very first item is to accept, as otherwise provided
in this section a person other than a minor or
a prohibited person me carry a concealed handgun anywhere in
Nebraska with or we'll permit under the Concealed Handgun Permit Act.
So my question to you on this is do you
agree that that is state law?
Speaker 4 (56:43):
Because that's what it says.
Speaker 2 (56:47):
You know, I tell you what, Dominic.
Speaker 6 (56:48):
I appreciate you calling in, but you know I'm not
an attorney and I don't.
Speaker 4 (56:53):
Remember ELV what exactly LB.
Speaker 6 (56:55):
Seven seven is, And you know I'm not going governor.
Please please let me, Please let me finish, Please let
me finish.
Speaker 4 (57:08):
This is what's in state. Step.
Speaker 2 (57:10):
He just turned on me, and now he's talking up on.
Speaker 4 (57:13):
Me because you know why, because I actual fact.
Speaker 2 (57:18):
All right, So I look, I'm not criticizing where the
guy's argument's coming from. But this isn't a courtroom. It's
a talk radio program with a lot of calls lined up,
and everyone wants a chance to talk to the governor
for a minute, minute and a half or so, you
got a minute and a half. If you can't make
a point in a minute and a half when calling
(57:39):
in the governor's show, he's like, all right, well, yeah,
I don't really know, and thanks a lot for the call,
and he's like he hung up on me. Everyone who
calls a talk radio program gets hung up on if
you're listening to a show, and it's like, hey, man,
thanks a lot for calling. You have a great day.
Yeah you too, Hey what are you doing today? Well?
(58:00):
I was gonna go to the Adam Sandler concert tonight.
Oh that sounds like fun. Where are you gonna eat beforehand? Well,
we thought about going over here. It's Taco Tuesday. Man,
have a great time. Enjoy the saying, man, should be
a great show. Hey, I'll call you again. I hope
you do see you later. Man, Yeah bye bye, click. Okay,
let's go to that. That's not how it works. You
(58:21):
get a chance to make your point. Governor responds, you
gave the governor nothing to respond to. You basically let
everyone know. If you let me go on and on,
I will take the next forty five minutes. Governor's like,
you're a medical cannabis advocate. You're talking about constitutional carry.
(58:43):
You are nowhere near a point. You're not even close
to the ballpark.
Speaker 3 (58:48):
Sure he had a point.
Speaker 2 (58:49):
Might exist. I'm sure he did, but you know the
point of the of me bringing this up. I think
it's kind of funny. And the TV station says, father
and medical cannabis advocate hung up on during Governor Pillin's
monthly radio show. It makes it sound like the governor
don't want to have this conversation. No, here's a different headline.
(59:09):
Bad talk radio caller hung up on during talk radio show.
Speaker 3 (59:15):
Nobody's going to read that, Yes, right.
Speaker 2 (59:18):
I would. I'd be like, ooh, who got bounce? Oh
I recognize that guy's voice. So, in case you saw
the headline or the news story. I just thought from
a professional standpoint, as someone who has not only been
a talk radio host who occasionally talk to people on
this program. It's a long story why we don't do
(59:39):
that much anymore, but I do miss it, and we
do do it. I want to bring it back in
some form anyway. Also being a phone screener telling callers, Okay,
we're gonna put you on. Make sure you get to
your point real quick. Okay, I got eight minutes with that. No,
you don't ask the governor question. Yeah, yeah, hey, hey governor,
(01:00:01):
my kid is having seventy five seizures a day, and
you guys are dragging your feet on this commission to
do anything about it. When is my son and other
family members like me? When are we gonna get some relief?
I'll hang up and listen off the air there. Put
the governor on the spot. If that's your point, bring it,
(01:00:22):
make the point. He hung up on me, yep, And
I would I don't know if I would have let
you got that far good English. I don't know if
I would have let you get that far down.
Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
We should let you get this far.
Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
Yeah, hey, Scott, I want to read for the Constitution.
Do you thanks a lot for the call.
