Dumb Dads Daycare

That brilliant idea was a little later in the show.  We first talked about Baby Jesus, ICE, and and Omaha bathroom shootout (that was all one topic), and some other stuff, too.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vordiez.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
I just got this picture from Candace Gregory, CEO of
the Open Door Mission. It was about two weeks ago.
We did the Hope for the Hungry radiothon, as we
do every year here on eleven ten KFAB right before Thanksgiving,
providing not just meals and care, but a the warmth
of a hat and gloves set. Now we talk about that,

(00:22):
but I've never seen it really until now. Kandace just
sent me a picture, Lucy of this cute little kid
with a matching hat and gloves set, saying thank you
KFAB listeners for the hat and gloves. It's little little
blue and white striped hat and glove set. And this

(00:43):
kid's wearing little snoopy pajamas. That's adorable. They're just like
my snoopy pajamas.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
I had no comment.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
I'm just glad you don't wear them in here.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
That's usually a holiday thing and you're usually out at
that time. Have you ever come to work in your
pajamas here at the radio station.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
I don't think so. I think the worst I've ever
done is sweatpants.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
There was one day in the holidays years ago I
think I fell asleep wearing sweatpants and a hoodie, woke
up and said, you know what, I've never been more
cozy in my whole life. I'm doing it and came
in all right, Oh are we live great? Thank you
so much, Thank you so much. Oh yeah, I've spent
the night here. Yeah, I was here, but I usually
bring a little change of clothes. Don't let me get sidetracked.

(01:34):
We've got Lucy. This is all your fault.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
It usually is.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
As I said, that's Lucy Chapman. I'm Scott for He's
Thanks again to kfab Nation for stepping up during the
Hope for the Hungry radio thon more than one hundred
and thirteen thousand dollars raised this year. That is your generosity.
That is people right here in our community who can
be helped with meals and care. Hope begins with the
meal and also a hat and glove set for these

(02:00):
little kids there over the holidays at the open Door mission.
A slightly less heartwarming scene. There is a church in Massachusetts,
and I think everyone here in Omaha should have a
real serious conversation with Reverend Stephen Josoma at this church

(02:21):
in Massachusetts. Everyone here in Omaha needs to talk to
the reverend at this church. The scene there at the
church is your Nativity scene. You've got the wise men,
You've got the Angel, you got Mary and Joseph, assorted
farm animals, barn animals. And there's a couple of things

(02:47):
that are a little different though about this Nativity scene.
They're at the focal point of the scene, your straw
laden manger. There is no baby Jesus. Happened to the
the Savior child? What happened to save your baby? Lord
and Savior Baby Jesus, little eight pound three ounce baby

(03:09):
Jesus is not there in the manger. It's pretty obvious though,
what happened, because the Reverend Josoma has put a big
sign above the manger, usually above the major you see,

(03:30):
you know, an angel now here. We've got a big
sign that says, I CE was here, Ice was here.
Oh my goodness, the Lord and Savior Baby Jesus was
an illegal immigrant and I President Trump sent ICE agents

(03:51):
into Bethlehem. Is that even legal? I mean, obviously, you
can blow up Narco drug boats out of Venezuela over
and over and over again. Everyone agrees that's fine. But
can Trump send ICE agents into Bethlehem to get any

(04:12):
illegal immigrant. Now a second, Baby Jesus, they were there
in Bethlehem because that's where you had to go to
be recorded for the census. So from an illegal immigration standpoint,
that doesn't really compute. But hey, let's not get worried
about anything other than the point that the reverend is

(04:37):
trying to make. What he's saying is he wants to
help people recognize the plight of people who are in
need and how we're treating them. He says, we're supposed
to bring out the best of people at Christmas and
be better to each other. And apparently ice agents picking

(05:00):
up people in the country illegally who have let's see
felony prior burglary felonies here in Douglas County. In twenty
twenty one, he pled no contest to two counts. I'm
not talking about Baby Jesus. This is our friend from
the gas station shooting the other day, who is a

(05:23):
guest in this country let himself in stayed here despite
having numerous interactions with law enforcement over the years. In
twenty twenty one, pled no contest to two counts of
burglary for breaking into multiple businesses and stealing multiple supplies.
He's also pled guilty to several traffic misdemeanors, probably because

(05:47):
he didn't have a driver's license or insurance. These things
tend to pile up, and so this was all fine.
No one thought to do anything about any this despite
the fact that he is from El Salvador and has
no legal paperwork to be in the United States of America.

(06:09):
Omaha is in the United States of America. This guy,
his first name is Juan, was the guy involved in
the not just the shootout with police at the gas
station in South Omaha, but as we talked about yesterday,

(06:30):
first he had shot a guy in the parking lot
of a North Omaha a grocery store, and Lucy had
asked the question, do we know any connection between these guys?
And I said, I might be wrong, but just connecting
dots here. The gang unit was after this guy, and
you had one guy in a grocery store with a
bunch of people around. This guy went and shot. I

(06:54):
don't think it was too much of a leap for
me to think that this was a targeted shooting against
someone maybe has something to do with gang stuff. We
have since learned that while my scenario does play out
all the time, it did not play out in this
instance the other day in Omaha. As the facts are

(07:15):
now coming in, it certainly appears a sixty one year
old guy named Mike was there at the grocery store
on Wednesday, just after noon to go and pick up
a few items. And I don't know if he's walking
in or out of the store, but this guy just

(07:35):
goes up and starts shooting him multiple times. And as
investigators have determined thus far, because it's kind of hard
to ask one any questions, he's dead. We'll cover that
a bit more of that information in just a second.
This guy is still alive, and we don't have any

(08:01):
motive or connection at all between these guys. A a
woman runs up, she heard the shots, goes over to
the guy. The guy is asking for help to find
his phone and call his wife, and this bystander helps
him do it. Most people they hear any of this,
they see any of this, they say, Okay, that's happening there.

(08:25):
I'm going clear the other way. This woman stepped up
to try and help this guy. But presumably now zero
connection between the sixty one year old guy named Mike
and our twenty eight year old illegal immigrant from El
Salvador who'd been in Omaha and has several years worth

(08:46):
of being shown no driver's license, no vehicle insurance, no
learning his lesson on the street several times, several traffic misdemeanors,
and then just a few years ago, no contest, two
counts of burglary busted into multiple businesses, stole stuff was
found at the time, I presume in a background check
not to be a legal citizen of this country. And

(09:09):
nothing happened. Nothing happened. So for the reverend there at
the church in Massachusetts saying, look at this Ice has
absconded with the baby Jesus. That's why, in case you're
just tuning in, you're going, wait, what a moment? Ago said,
there's a Nativity scene at a church in Massachusetts where

(09:31):
the reverends trying to highlight the horrors of reality here
by suggesting that Immigration and Customs enforcement has taken the
baby Jesus. Baby Jesus is an illegal immigrant. I would
prefer that the people of Omaha sit down and have
a conversation with this reverend and say, let me tell

(09:52):
you what else Ice is capable of doing. Finding someone
who is in the country illegally and has numerous run
ins with law enforcement, violent crimes, dangerous crimes, gang ties,
wanted for murder in other countries. You know some of
the things that have happened here in Omaha. And then

(10:13):
you know, you're less lethal crimes that are still very
important to the people who are having these crimes perpetrated
against them. It's identity theft and immigration customs enforcement finding
the people responsible for these problems and dealing with them.

(10:35):
They're not going after Christ's children, They're going after criminals.
But this reverend, by the way, the executive director of
the Catholic Action League noted that this guy at this
church in Massachusetts, I don't know what kind of church

(10:55):
it is, but it's the Catholic Action League that's responding
to it, so might be Catholic. But he says, yeah,
this guy every year turns the Nativity into a political
scene about climate change, gun control. Oh, and then there
was the twenty eighteen display when President Trump was president
the first of three times, who placed the baby Jesus

(11:17):
in a cage separated from his mother. So he's already
gone down one immigration related road with Trump and Ice
and baby Jesus. By the way, the kids in cages
pictures were from the Obama administration. That's all very very clear.
No one chooses to follow through that anyway. The executive
director of the Catholic Action League says, quote, this is

(11:39):
a case of a dissident priest who has a long
history of these kinds of crackpot political stunts unquote, entertaining
and stupid. He doesn't notice that ICE could should do
something about this guy Juan before he's in a situation

(12:04):
where he's he's shooting members of the Omaha Police Department.
Let's see here, like the sergeant Emilio Luna was one
of the officers who was shot. Omaha Police Department officer
shot the other day, Sergeant Emilio Luna. Also Detective Jordan

(12:24):
Brandt also shot. We've since learned there there was another
one injured by shrapnel. We knew that that was Detective
Christopher Brown, but there was a fourth officer who was
grazed by a bullet. That was Detective brock Ringo. The
other officers involved in the shots Sergeant Jonathan Holtrop and

(12:47):
Detective Kyle Graver. Jim Rose asked the question, and I
wouldn't read in too much to asking the questions. Sometimes
we here on the radio station ask questions to get
a response from officials, not necessarily to prove a point.
I'm not quite sure well exactly what Jim was thinking,
or I'm never ever sure exactly what Jim is thinking.

(13:10):
But he asked Mayor Ewing this morning. He says, these
officers fired like sixty shots. Is that excessive? Could be
you just want to get the mayor on record. Could
be had a point to prove with that. Whether or
not that was the case, I'll give you my thoughts
on that. The reason why these six Omaha police officers

(13:30):
fired their weapons during two separate exchanges of gunfire with
the guy in the gas station bathroom is twofold one
because he was in the process of firing sixteen rounds
at the officers. He'd hit three of them, so they responded,

(13:51):
and it turns out it was fifty one rounds. I
don't know how many hit this guy, but I'm guessing
it was a pretty high percentage. Officers are really good shots.
It was a pretty high percentage of the fifty one
round shot. Why did they shoot fifty one times because
a fifty second shot wasn't necessary. Fifty would not have

(14:16):
gotten the job done. Fifty one seemed to be about
right for that situation. If they needed fifty two, fifty three,
or one hundred and seventy six, that's how many times
they shoot. It's not about all right, I have this
many shots to either shoot a guy. It's not about
shooting a guy. It's about stopping the threat. I have

(14:40):
this many shots to stop the threat. We're not counting.
It's not like, well, I'm out, I've reached my limit
of times I can shoot a guy who's shooting at me.
And that's true of guys in gas station bathrooms shooting
at cops. It's true of narco terrorists on boats. You
can't blowow them up twice. Well, the idea was to

(15:03):
blow them up. We didn't get the job done the
first time. We're going to be doing that again. Oh,
it turns out it's two. That's one less than the
number of licks it takes to get to the center
of a Tutsi rolld Tutsi pop. If we needed a third,
it would be three. Why did they have to shoot

(15:25):
fifty one times? It's fifty onen't gonna get it done.
Why did this guy. No one ever asked the question,
why did this guy have to go and shoot some
guy in a grocery store parking lot and then a
few hours later start shooting it out with cops? Why
did he have to shoot sixty And no one ever
asked that question, do they Why did the cops have
to shoot so many times? Because they can? So there's

(15:52):
a bit more of what we've learned yesterday, yesterday afternoon,
since this shooting on Wednesday here in Omaha. Again, Thank goodness,
these officers are recovering.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Scott Vories news Radio eleven ten kfab.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Or Oh, buddy Josh, who worked here with us on
news radio eleven ten kfab just sent me a text
and said, I don't know why, but the tutsi roll
line cracked me up. Thank you, Josh, appreciate you listening.
Have good time on your broadcast day today. All right,
I don't want to dwell too much on the I've

(16:32):
got a lot of emails and stuff coming in.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Then you don't need me, No, no, I do.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Sorry. I'm guys doing math here in my inbox. Seventeen
times three equals fifty one. It seems the officers shot
exactly one more than one. I don't think that's exactly
a play on words. But the suspect who and they?
I think officers are pretty sure that they got the

(17:03):
right guy. Who do you think is responsible for shooting
at us? The guy over there with the gun shooting
at us? That works, Let's shoot back. He shot sixteen times.
Each officer then fired an average, is what Todd is
saying of seventeen times. So why did they shoot fifty
one times? Fifty was not going to get the job done.

(17:23):
Fifty two was excessive in that instance. Fifty one that's
just about right. I don't look, I'm not being glib.
A guy died, and because you're in the country illegally
and you're stealing stuff from businesses and driving around with
no driver's license or car insurance doesn't mean you should
be shot by cops. I'm pausing to see if anyone's

(17:48):
gonna debate me on that point. Like, I don't know.
I mean, you get hit by someone with no license
or insurance in this country, maybe the cops should just
show up and go, all right, show me license and
registration and proof of insuring I don't have it.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
Bang well, I don't think they should do that, and
I don't. They're not always.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Showing up that would get the chopped done right.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
Well, But next next guy's gonna make sure he's got insurance,
I bet sure.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Look. Am I saying this guy deserves to get shot
because of his immigration status, his previous arrest felony, burglary,
and all the rest. No, I'm not saying that. Am
I saying that he deserved to get shot because he
was shooting at and sometimes hitting police officers. Yes, the
threat needed to be stopped. You know what the thing
is about this? This? This is where police officers are

(18:35):
just better people than I am. This guy is shooting
at them, hitting some of them. You're firing back to
stop the threat. The threat has been stopped. He is
now on the ground, The gun is I don't know,
either in his hand and no longer being having his

(18:55):
trigger squeezed, or the gun is now separated from the
guy who is and I've been shot multiple times by
you and your friends who have been shot multiple times
by him. And what do the police do after that
threat has stopped and that guy's lying there, they immediately
go over and try and save his life. I'm not

(19:15):
sure I could do that. Yeah, you could. I I
don't know that I could. I really don't. Guys shooting
at me, I stopped the threat there at the gas station,
and he's lying there and the threat stopped. I'm like, man,
I worked up a thirst? Can I how much is
a if I get a small drink here with the

(19:36):
fountain drink selection here at the gas station, I'm gonna
be here a while. I can refill it, right well,
as long as I don't leave the store, all right,
I'll just do a small then I'm probably going to
getting a root beer. I'm not the Last thing I'm
gonna do is go over and try and save this
guy's life. I just had to kill him because he

(19:56):
made me. Now I'm like, all right, let's let's see
what you say, life and give him another chance. That's
to do what exactly. I don't have it in me.
I am not that good of a person that I
feel like I could do that. These officers, though, despite
getting shot by this guy, stop the threat, and they're like,

(20:17):
all right, now we rush in there and start the
life saving techniques, which didn't work out, but not for
a lack of trying. All right, that's that's enough for
this story. We had a really scary headline. This is
a sarcastic, scary headline that could have impacted one of

(20:39):
the greatest places that Omaha has to offer. Will it.
I'll tell you about it after a Fox News update next,
Scott Fordies, you can listen to us anywhere you are
with our free iHeartRadio app. Set that pre set, which
you can do for not just the radio station, but
also the Vine Forhees podcast, which is right there on

(21:04):
kfab dot com our free iHeartRadio app. You can just
set the preset and that way when there are new
episodes of the uh this little podcast. I'm getting a
little sidetracked because I'm wondering if I should just go
ahead and say something that's not for public consumption yet.
Let me double check on that and see if I
can get back to you in the next few minutes

(21:28):
or hour on that. Sorry, Scott, what are you doing well?
Wondering whether I can answer the question. Wait a second,
I do listen to the Vintage Vheat podcast. In fact,
I have a preset set for the Vintage Vorhees podcast.
But if Scott, you are stepping in for Gary to

(21:50):
host kfab's morning news and not doing your show. What
happens to the Vintage Vorhees podcast? Short answer, that's not
going away. All this, all this is not completely going away.

(22:11):
I look forward to having more details for you as
soon as possible. I just I need one more person
to give me a thumbs up on something and then
I can tell the staff and that I can tell
you maybe this morning.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
Do I even know?

Speaker 2 (22:27):
What? Do you even care? That's fair, that's Lucy Chapman.
I'm Scott Vorhees. Anyway. Richard listens to us on our
free iHeartRadio app. This is the time of year that
the various streaming services tell you here's what you listened
to this last year, and for Richard, it says your
favorite station on the iHeartRadio app. The iHeart Rewind twenty

(22:51):
five turns out it's news radio eleven to ten KFAB.
Richard listened for eighty nine four hundred and five minutes
in twenty twenty five, among the top ten percent of
listeners to eleven ten KFAB on our free iHeartRadio app.
He listened for eighty nine four hundred five minutes.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
I made I listened that much.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
I made a focused point for about three to four
minutes of all of that time, and we're so honored
to have you there. I don't know, I'm not great
at doing math on the fly here, but eighty nine
four hundred five minutes, that's like half a billion hours

(23:34):
of radio listening. So nice job, Richard, Thank you very much.
We are I want you know that's that's great. I
want it doubled next year. And I want to tell
you all the fun things we're gonna do for you
here on eleven ten kfab and with you in the
next year to maximize your radio listening experience. But I

(24:01):
can't tell you now here was the scary headline I
saw this morning. Saw it in the Omaha World Herald said,
Denny's is closing one hundred and fifty locations across the
country before the end of this year, the end of
this that's like in a few weeks. Yes, and it's

(24:24):
a click the link. We'll tell you what's happening to
the Nebraska locations. Like how many locations they have in Nebraska?
Like a thousand? How many locations do you think they have?
How Denny's has.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
In all of Nebraska?

Speaker 3 (24:40):
Maybe fifteen, you're off by thirteen.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
We only have two.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
Well, I know we have one here. I just assumed
there'd be somewhere along the highway.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
There's another one in Gretna. And that's it what they're
both right here? Yeah? Is that true? These two locations,
Omaha and Gretna, are the only Denny's locations in the
entire state. And for the life of me right now,
I can't think where is the Denny's and Gretna. It's

(25:14):
got to be right off there at three seventy. I'm
just not picturing it.

Speaker 4 (25:19):
Right Well, yeah, I mean it would have to be,
but I can't.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
I'm telling you my Denny's, my Denny's, and one of
my favorite places on the planet since high school is
the one right there off of eighty fourth and I
eighty that's my Denny's Ralston High School. Kid. Once we
turned sixteen and our world opened up a little bit more,

(25:47):
and since this was the early nineties, our parents cared
a whole lot less where we were and what we
were doing. Nor could they check on us. Well didn't
they do the Live three sixty thing to find out
where you are? Track my phone? What they knew where
my phone was all the time? It is in the house,

(26:08):
So they they're like, look, try not to get arrested
and come home at a reasonable hour and have fun.
So most of our nights ended up at Denny's eighty
fourth and I eighty.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
Let me just tell you something about that.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Well, let me tell you that I should probably put
this out because it says Denny's is closing one hundred
and fifty locations across the country. The two here in
Omaha have been saved. Yay, we still have Denny's. You
can still get moons over my hammy twenty four hours
a day.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
What how many do you think California has of actual
Denny's right now? Eleven eleven y is not a number
kind of Oh you went to Ralston Public School?

Speaker 2 (27:01):
What's that supposed to meet? What are you laughing at? Eavans? Jeez?
Craig Evans laughing in the background during the show is
always my favorite part of the show. And he's never
even listening to us. Terry is tickling him. We have
a very close knit staff. How many how many Denny's

(27:22):
locations are in California?

Speaker 4 (27:24):
Three hundred and forty seven?

Speaker 2 (27:26):
Good lord?

Speaker 4 (27:28):
Hawaii has more than we do.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
What five?

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Yeah, but they can't leave. We're gonna close we're gonna
close the Denny's locations in Hawaii. We couldn't afford to
get there. That's got to be just for the islanders
right now. People, you aren't tourists in Hawaii going oh,
We're so happy to be here in Hawaii. Look at Denny's.

(27:51):
I want that true Hawaiian experience. Yeah, you can either
do the Moon's over in my Hammi or the pooh
pooh platter.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
Good point.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
If someone here in Omaha tries to give you the
pooh pooh platter, don't take it. You don't want it.
You might think you do.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
You do not sounds interesting?

Speaker 2 (28:12):
Did they really call something a pooh pooh platter?

Speaker 4 (28:15):
Well, pooh pooh doesn't mean the same thing that pooh
pooh means to you?

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Who you and you got the pew pew platter.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
That's with a little gun, My little friend.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Why did you look up how many dennis were in California?

Speaker 4 (28:31):
I looked up Denny's and that's what popped up every
Denny's or the numbers every state.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
You're gonna tell me where the Dennys is and.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
Gretna No oh, I guess I was going to do
that one.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
The oh it's the part of the Flying J on
I eighty.

Speaker 4 (28:45):
Oh yeah, uh huh fit one five zero one zero
south nailed State Highway thirty.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Yep, thank you, it's the fly it's off I eight
at the Flying J. That's the outlet.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
It had its own, like Flying J restaurant.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
There could be to Denny's.

Speaker 4 (29:04):
No, there used to be a Flying J restaurant. It
was called the Flying J Restaurant.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Okay, so we're clear. We tried to go there to well, no,
we went. We tried to go to Sap Brothers. I
think one Christmas morning. I remember one Christmas morning.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
I was a little kid on the twenty fifth and on.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
The twenty fifth and my dad said, because I don't know, Mike,
we didn't have any food in the house or something
I don't know. And my dad said, let's let's go
out and get me to eat. My mom said, I
don't think anything is open. And that's I think probably
the conversation that led to ultimately their divorce. I think

(29:44):
it started there. Am I making fun of my parents'
divorce on the radio? Hey? Why not?

Speaker 4 (29:48):
So?

Speaker 2 (29:49):
I my dad said, like, oh, well, the village in's
probably open. That's down the street from us. That was
another great location. Still there one hundred eighth in l
So we go there. They're closed, you know why, because
it was Christmas morning. And then my dad said, I
bet the truck stop at Sap Brothers will be open.
So we drove clear out from one hundred and eighth

(30:11):
in l out to the Sap Brothers on the Interstate.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
That's not that far.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
You make it sound like you went over the river
and through the woods in a dog park.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
When I was a little kid and my whole world
was pretty much the boundaries between one hundred and eighth
and ninety six from El to Q. Anything outside of
that was a long ways away. Plus there wasn't a
whole lot between there and there. I grew up in
the nineteen thirties. So we go out there and you
know what, not serving breakfast? You know why? Why Christmas?

(30:39):
What my dad was like, what do you mean.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
We don't have what are the truck drivers going to eat?
Back in the thirties, you.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Gotta make plans for this kind of stuff.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
They're lonely, they're on the road.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
We didn't eat that day, Lucy. It was probably like
all of your Christmas.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
I mean that's something I can totally relate to, but
I didn't.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Other people Lucy had the worst upbringing. Like Lucy says,
you know what I went for Christmas? Just some morsel
of food, And they're like, ah.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
No, well that's that's kind of the thing with people
who were born or raised kind of in a poor area,
poor neighbor are a poor family.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Gosh, yes, at least they were able to for that education.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
Right.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
Sometimes there is it's feast or famine. Sometimes there was
tons of food, sometimes there wasn't. And when there was
tons of food, my mom could cook.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
Holy cow, she could cook.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
My son and I he had never I'm a horrible parent.
I'd never taken my boy to Denny's until this summer.
We're out goofing around some morning doing something and time
for brunch, and I said, oh, man, I know where

(31:56):
we're going. You never in into Denny's, have you, because
I don't think so well. We're going there, and I'm
gonna tell you what to eat. He's looking at the menu, going,
but I want this, like you're gonna have this and
like it, and you're gonna and you're gonna eat it.
And after about three bites you're going to say, Dad,
this might be the greatest food I've ever had. It was,

(32:18):
of course, the moon's over my hamming. Are you familiar
with that?

Speaker 3 (32:21):
I am.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
It's eggs ham cheese on toast on like buttered sour
bread toast, and it is amazing. And my son was
eating it, and he looked at me and he said, father,
I am so sorry I ever doubted you. Suddenly started
speaking like he just graduated from Yale. Father, I am

(32:45):
so sorry I ever doubted you. This is by far
the most amazing this Morgas sport of tastes I've ever
had in my palate ever before. Father, You're my hero.
He's crying. We smoked a cigar and we left. It
was awesome.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
Oh that was back when you could still smoke in there.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
No, this was last summer. That's why we had to leave.
They're like, you guys can't smell. It's like, isn't this
the smoking section? Like we don't do that anymore. Did
your dad try and take you out for breakfast at
a gas station when you were a kid or something? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (33:17):
Why Scott Voice News Radio eleven ten kfab.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
More business news here on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Denny's is closing one hundred and fifty locations across the country.
The two here in Omaha are not among them. You
can still get moons over in Miammi outside of Miami
eighty fourth and I eighty that's my Denny's. Man. We
used to go in there after a night of goofing
office high schoolers and we would play a game where

(33:45):
we go around the table and we would say or
act out our names based on alliteration. So I would pour,
I would take the salt shaker and dump it on
myself and go, I'm salty Scott. Do you know what
got us kicked out of Denny's that night? Tabletop Tony.
It's pretty clear how he acted it out. Yeah, They're like,

(34:06):
all right, guys, get out, Like okay, we're leaving.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
They were actually probably more happy to have you guys
there than all the drunks.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
It was either tabletop Tony or topless Tyler that that night.
They're like, okay, morons, get get out of here. Netflix
has agreed to acquire Warner Brothers and HBO Max for
a whole bunch of money. Does that mean if you
have Netflix and HBO Max, is that one streaming service
for one price, or do you still have to pay two?

(34:36):
You probably have to pay two. Remember when Netflix was
just mailing out DVDs and you looked at that, going
that's stupid. Who in the world would do that? That
didn't make any sense. What a waste. This company is
the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You can just go
down to Blockbuster or Applause Video or Captain Video and
rent your movies. How then you got to mail it back.

(34:58):
Someone could steal it out of the mail box. I
tell you what You're never gonna hear about Netflix ever. Again,
dumbest thing I've ever heard. This is why I'm not
an entrepreneur. This is why I can't spell entrepreneur. Renelle says,
I didn't do eighty thousand plus, but I rank. Let's
see here, how'd you do? Renell fifty thousand, eight hundred

(35:22):
and eight minutes of listening. Thank you so much for
checking us out there via our free iHeartRadio app. Renel
is listening to us in Texas. I think. She also says,
I have an important question. Gary Always ended the last
show before Christmas with David Phelps' version of Oh Holy Knight.

(35:44):
The best Christmas song of all time? Please tell me?
Is another one of these questions, Gary, did this? Are
you going to do that? When Gary retires retires from
hosting the show every day, you're still gonna hear a
whole lot of Gary on our morning show here on
eleven ten KFAB. You're just trying not to be too angry.

(36:07):
You're going to hear a lot more of me on
that show as well, because Gary's not gonna do it
every day, and I am sitting there with Lucy Chapman,
Jim Rose, Craig Evans, and the rest of the team.
So another one of these questions, Gary, did this? Are
you going to do this? I'll tell you we are

(36:28):
going to do the festive Christmas Eve edition of kfab's
Morning News, and Gary ended it with that version of
Old Holy Night. I've got a version of Old Holy
Night from the California Raisins from their eighties Christmas album
that I think right now you're really really going to like.

(36:50):
So no, I doubt it.

Speaker 4 (36:55):
I don't think I'm gonna like it. The California Raisins,
come on.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
They you know they're not Raisins, right, They're people, They're singers.
They're very talented singers who lent their voices. I heard
it through the grapevine, and then a bunch of great
Christmas songs. Don't you remember the California Raisins Claimation Christmas Special? No, Oh,
my gosh, one of the best things I've ever seen. Really, Yes, Oh,

(37:21):
it's so good. The California Raisins Clamation Christmas. Come on now,
you're gonna love it. You haven't heard a Holy Night
until you've heard it from the California Raisins. They jump
out of the box and sing it, and they dance around,
and then they jump back in the box and you
eat them. You know, I'll reconsider. Everything's open for interpretation,

(37:43):
So if.

Speaker 4 (37:43):
You're taking a request for that particular song, I got
a whole list of great artists that recorded it because
it's my favorite Carol.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
No joke. Richard Marx does a beautiful version of it.
No joke.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
I'm not gonna say I disagree.

Speaker 4 (37:58):
I haven't heard it, but I could hear it.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Yeah, he's Richard Marx is so good. Unfortunately, it took
some time in the middle of the song to trash Trump,
but then he then he closed strong. I didn't think
it was necessary to throw the politics in the middle
of it. Yeah, I made that part up, Renelle. Do
stay with us on the festive Christmas Eve edition of
kfab's Morning News, and I do take requests. All right, Lucy,

(38:26):
I have a question for you. Let me try not
to slur that one. Take two, Lucy, I got a
question for you. Okay, what's your favorite type of hepatitis?

Speaker 3 (38:36):
Oh, let me see, probably B. Oh it's it's.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Well, it's in the news today and there's a vaccine
for it.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
But wait, I had my finger on the one button
switching it to the other one.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
Sounds like Lucy has a conspiracy theory.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
Oh, I can't wait. Tom Hanks is stabbing people with
the hepatitis B vaccine to make them think that he's
a good guy.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
Now here's the part of the show where Lucy says
she's glad she doesn't have kids.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
That's the button I was gonna hit. It's the recommendation
from the CDC. Now is not every single baby needs
to have the happy.

Speaker 3 (39:19):
You don't even have to finish that B vaccine.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
Yeah, it turns out not every mother who's giving birth
has hepatitis. Oh, how is that they don't have a
b C. They don't have LGBTQ.

Speaker 4 (39:34):
That is, I thought that maybe this was a thing.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
By the way, of all the hepatitis, hepatitis LGBTQ is
the most brave.

Speaker 4 (39:45):
I thought about when I because I didn't know that
was one of the vaccines until I don't know, maybe
a couple of years ago. I didn't know that was
a vaccine that the babies.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
Were tell me all the vaccines the babies getting.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
The part of the show where she's glad she doesn't
have kids.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
Maybe not newborns, but from newborn to what five or six.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
Well, you kind of get a lot of those until adolescents,
So okay, there are a lot. I don't look, I'm
the dad. I don't know anything. If my wife said,
and I'm telling you the truth right now, because the
person I know who is our kid's pediatrician has retired,

(40:27):
and so if my wife said I need you to
take our son to see his doctor today, I would
not know who that was or where that is. I
would just go. I'd probably go to urgent care. Here's
my kid, what's wrong with him? I don't know. My
wife told me to take him to the doctor. Are

(40:50):
you guys doctors? What kind of that? Here? You go?
Just give him a good once over and fix whatever's
wrong with you.

Speaker 4 (40:57):
Is your wife's name really ju? The kids or Beaver
and Ward or no eight?

Speaker 3 (41:03):
Yeah, Beaver and uh.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
Wally Wally, Yeah, my daughter's name is Wally, And then
you've got the Beaver.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
Dads don't know stuff.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
I honestly, I'm not even joking. I have no idea.

Speaker 3 (41:18):
They it's probably best.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
I had to fill out paperwork and let's unless this
is illegal what I'm about to say, then then that
part's a joke. I had to fill out paperwork from
my kid for something, and it asked me who my
child's pediatrician was. I just wrote down their their pediatricians
name and phone number, who I know is retired.

Speaker 4 (41:39):
But he used to be.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
It's a woman, you sexist pig. They let women be doctors. Now.
I mean, I don't like it, but I can't argue
against everything. But apparently, you sexist pig. Did you always
get that riddle wrong? Which on the one about uh
you know a uh, A father and son are in

(42:02):
a car accident and the father dies. They rushed the
kid to the hospital and The doctor says, I can't
operate on him. He's my son. How is this possible?
That's the riddle.

Speaker 4 (42:14):
I don't get it now, and you've already probably told
me the answer.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
A father and son are in a car accident.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
I got it.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Father dies. They rushed the son to the hospital try
and save his life. The doctor looks at the kid
and goes, I can't operate on him.

Speaker 4 (42:28):
That's a terrible mother.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
He's my son.

Speaker 4 (42:30):
That's a terrible mother. She would not save her child.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
All right, well, I've already terrible. I'm glad that you
at least got the setup on this. It's the joke
riddle test to see if you're a sexist pig, because
when they asked us that in the eighties, we're like,
I don't know. I know the dad's not gay, because
no one is. This is nineteen eighty three. That hasn't
been invented yet.

Speaker 4 (42:55):
Now, see I had not considered that as an answer.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Right, So no, it's it's because the doctor is a
woman at that moment, you sexist pig. So the CDC
has said you don't need to give your newborn the
hep B vaccine? Why not necessary? That's what they say, Now,

(43:21):
they said, no, if if if the mother has hepatitis B,
sure that's positive for B, then we'll give the kid
the vaccine child for first. Well, immediately they're already saying like, well,
there's a lot of false positives and negatives on these.
You gonna have mother after mother coming into the room
getting hepatitis B. And then they say, oh, let's check

(43:42):
and see if you've got hipbe. Nope, looks like you don't,
but she does, because like, wait a second, you're saying
the same, the same doctors, the same I get to
use all my buttons during this segment. What do you
think of my buttons, mister president? They just I'm gonna
use all of these the same science that can't tell

(44:03):
us within certainty whether someone you just drew blood from
has hepatitis B, can cure COVID and not give anyone
autism and all there. So that's fantastic. I tell you
what science your fun. You're just great. You're you're killing
it sometimes literally, so I'm not I'm not saying, so

(44:25):
never go to the doctor. I don't.

Speaker 4 (44:28):
Well, you're a man. We already knew that.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
Asked me who my primary care physician is e R
I have a I thought I was seeing a shaman,
but it turns out it's one of those businesses that
just sell CBD oil. Like, oh, that's the name of
the business. I thought I was seeing a shaman, but

(44:53):
it turns out it was Mark Schiman, the composer.

Speaker 4 (44:58):
Autograph.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
There's a reference.

Speaker 4 (45:02):
Ask them to sign a prescription for you. Could you
give me your honor.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
Here's your prescription in B minor. Oh, this is gonna
be a good prescription.

Speaker 4 (45:13):
Dark hepatitis B is hepatitis be hiding in every corner,
ready to jump out on every newborn baby.

Speaker 2 (45:20):
I was just about to say, don't look behind you. Wait, sorry,
it's only eppatitis four. I don't I don't know that.
I know that they were looking. This week r FK
Junior and the CDC said do we need to have
B vaccines for every single kid? It seems a little unnecessary.

(45:42):
And they said if there, if need by, if need be,
will give it to them when they're older. People are like,
kids don't like shots when they're older. Like that's true,
but like the babies can tolerated better. Plus they don't
know that we're stabbing them with stuff. They're babies. They
won't harbor resentment to the parents and the doctors for
years to come.

Speaker 4 (46:01):
This is an actual conversation.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
Yes, I'm being a little silly about it, but yeah,
that is the argument. It's like, the babies don't know
that there were giving them vaccine. Just keep giving them,
give them everything. And uh, they said, but it's not necessary,
Like well you don't know, Like wait a second, you're
saying that we have to give them because once in
a very very very rare instance, some mother has tested

(46:27):
positive for hep B or tested negative, but she's really positive.
But the same science that can't tell us that can say, yep,
give all the babies the vaccine. They're like, it's not necessary,
and they just this morning said we're not recommending it
for all children.

Speaker 4 (46:41):
Isn't he be a hep be treatable? I think all
I honestly think even HEPSI is no and that wasn't
for a long time. We was treatable but not curable.
But if if it is treatable, then and it's so
rare that a baby would get it, why why was
it ever given?

Speaker 2 (47:02):
I don't think you want any form of hepatitis. But
I'm not gonna sit here and pretend that I'm an
expert in every form or any form of hepatitis. I
really couldn't tell you anything about it.

Speaker 4 (47:17):
It can destroy your liver.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
Mostly, I just wanted to ask you the question.

Speaker 3 (47:21):
Oh, so you really don't want.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
What is your fixed? What is your favorite type of hepatitis?

Speaker 4 (47:28):
Well, look, I've got other stuff to do if you
don't need me here.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
No, no, I I just I couldn't tell you, okay,
anything about hepatitis. It is kind of fun to say,
probably not fun to have.

Speaker 3 (47:41):
You don't want it, imagine it wouldn't be.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
Yeah, but yeah, I mean based on here's my level
of knowledge about hepatitis. The commercials if you've got hepatitis,
what bes whatever? It is treatable, get hepatizy from Snoop
from Doctor Snoop Dogg Man. I love heipa ZIZZI.

Speaker 4 (48:04):
I don't think you've been watching that commercial correctly.

Speaker 2 (48:07):
It's the Heppazizziest.

Speaker 4 (48:08):
Were you high when you watched it?

Speaker 2 (48:11):
I was, I was gonna stop hepatitis, but then I
got high. Ooh talking speaking of babies, where were we?
Yeh Lucy's out? This is this is one of the
bigger issues in our country, and I'm actually gonna tell
you how to solve it. Here's something I do know
something about. Next Scott Voices, Lucy, will you help me

(48:35):
remember to go see Jen at eleven o'clock when this
radio show is over, because I just asked my phone
to remind me and it says, okay, I'll remind you
at eleven o'clock to go see Jim. I don't want
to go see Jim. I need to go see Jen,
and my phone interpreted it as Jim.

Speaker 4 (48:54):
Do you think you can handle this problem.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
In thirty some minutes from now, I'm not going to
remember and my no, I don't. My phone is gonna say,
go see Jim, and I'm gonna go over to Jim's office.

Speaker 4 (49:08):
That's really gonna stop you from going to see Jim.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
And then Jim won't be here and I'll be like, oh,
it probably means Jim downstairs we got we had a
lot of gyms. I'm gonna go see him. And maybe
that's good because if I go see Jim downstairs, I'll
walk right by Jen.

Speaker 4 (49:25):
Or maybe your phone's telling you you probably should consider
working out a little.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Did you just call me fat? No, here's another problem
with babies. Oh, don't get me started. Now. This is
about something that many politicians of the Democratic persuasion are
now starting to realize is an issue with Americans. That's

(49:53):
the rising cost of everything. But this one isn't. It's
not an inflation thing. It's a apply demand and rising
costs of labor thing. And that not labor in terms
of having a baby, but you know, workers, it's childcare costs.
In America's major cities. Most major cities, childcare costs are

(50:18):
higher every month than the cost of rent. And parents
are having these babies going I can't, I can't afford
to have anyone do child care for the baby. Well,
let me tell you what we used to do back
in the old timey times. And I know this is
so antiquated, it's just ridiculous. A parent would stay home

(50:45):
with the kid.

Speaker 4 (50:46):
You can't say that.

Speaker 2 (50:48):
I didn't say mom would stay home, even though that's
exactly what used to happen. You guys were all sexist
pigs back then. Oh yeah, and I've got a I've
got a message on Facebook about that. I want to
get to here in a moment as well. But yeah,
a parent would stay home, and these days, I guess

(51:09):
some dads stay home with their kids, stay at home dads.
Which it's funny how guys immediately they hear about a
stay at home mom, and those of us who aren't
knuckle dragging, mouth breeding morons will say, awesome, So glad
that you're able to do that. I know it's thankless

(51:29):
hard work. You don't get to clock in and clock out.
Your days start whenever this kid decides that they're upstick
in the middle of the night, goes throughout the rest
of the day. You have to sleep. When they sleep.
They're never going to tell you thank you. They're just
going to spit up on you. And which becomes a
bigger problem when that kid gets older and you're like,
you shouldn't still be spitting up on me. But it's
so hard, it's exhausting. You're still expected to keep the

(51:52):
house clean and the food ready and all that stuff,
and you don't get paid for any of it. If
you got paid for any of it, want to be
able to afford you. So guys, more enlightened men think
that because that's the truth, and then one of their
buddies is like, yeah, you know, I got laid off.
My wife was working and she was making more money

(52:14):
than me anyway, so we just decided we can make
it work where I stay home with the kids. I'm
a stay at home dad. And guys are like, oh,
look at it, look at this, hey, are you many
to get you addressed? You got an apron, man, it
must be awesome. Can you just like take off and
play golf whenever you want? Like, no, you know, I'm
home with the kids. I take the kids with you.
Like we suddenly revert right back to gender roles and

(52:38):
stereotypes and all the rest of its stuff. Whenever I
got a guy, I know he's stay at home dad
and he he loves it. And kids, uh are still alive.
So it's pretty It's it's amazing that this And the
number one reason why it's usually to stay at home

(52:58):
mom is not because of stereotypes and gender assignments, is
because these women they're married to these guys. If they
don't trust their kids, their babies home along with dad
all day, there's a reason why they're like, you know what,
why don't you go work, find something anything to do.
I'll stay home with the kids. I can stay home

(53:20):
with the kids no, I you you don't know where
their rooms are. You don't you don't know how to
do You don't know how to do anything. What are
you gonna What are you gonna feed the kid today?

Speaker 4 (53:33):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (53:34):
I was gonna grill a steak? Honey? Are child seven
months old? I mean two steaks? Like, no, you're not
getting it. So how do you deal with the child
care costs? Well, A big reason why the costs is
are up because of supply and demand. You've only got

(53:54):
so many people who can take care of these kids.
You do have some more bargain people to take care
of your kids. They're the ones that you hear about
on the news. All the children at this daycare, you know,
at Penny Wise's daycare were removed today because it turns
out there were a bunch of dead bodies in the
basement and they were about to be more but police

(54:16):
rushed in and yeah, if if you're like, wow, we
found a childcare, a community childcare facility that really had
a really great price for taking care of our kids.
Probably need to be Leria that there are they licensed?

(54:40):
Do these people know what they're doing or is it
that'd be pretty fun? Dumb Dad's daycare. Not just for
a literation's sake, but I think if you get enough
of dumb enough dumb dads together, they might be able
to keep the children's bones and blood inside their bodies
for several hours at a time. Dumb Dad's Daycare.

Speaker 3 (55:01):
Wasn't that a movie?

Speaker 2 (55:01):
Yeah? Hey, you go pick up No that daddy daycare?
You go pick up your kid? Mom? Is my name's sport?
Why do you say that? Well? I think everyone here
is called sport because the guys that run this place
just call all of a sport. Who's hungry? You hungry sport?
Hey guys, good morning, Great to have you here at
dumb Dad's Daycare. Uh, nap time, followed by we're gonna

(55:25):
watch whatever's on TV. Oh it's Sports Center, and then
more nap time, and then your mom's will pick you up.
Thanks a lot for stopping by dumb Dad's Daycare. Here's
your kid? That's not my kid? Okay, which kid would
you say is yours? That place would be full dumb

(55:46):
Dad's Daycare. Please leave with at least as many kids
as you dropped off, don't.

Speaker 4 (55:56):
They don't have to go home, but they can't stay here.

Speaker 2 (55:58):
Dumb Dad's daycare, the only daycare with the golf simulator
in the back. I'm telling you, yeah, I'm talking myself
into this. I'll work the place, I'll do it, and
we'll make it cost effective. We're take it easy on
these families. It's true, though, the cost of childcare is

(56:19):
really expensive. Not everyone is in a place where they
can or want to have a parent stay home. But
my goodness, if you've got a parent working to almost
afford the cost of daycare. I'm not great at math.
I don't know if I've ever shown that, but that

(56:41):
doesn't seem to compute very well. Now. I mentioned a
moment ago, I got some social media post here from
a friend of mine who has some very pointed things
to say about what we used to think about gender
stereotypes versus now. I'll have it for you, and I
can't wait to get your feedback on this. Next talking

(57:01):
about the cost of child care, Cody says, Hey, Scott,
I was just listening to your bit on the childcare thing,
and I want to start by saying I'm actually in
the process of transitioning to becoming a stay at home dad.
My kids are in their thirties and they don't live
here anymore, but they need the constant No, I can.

(57:23):
I made that part up, so he says, the process
of becoming a stay at home dad. Not sure how
I feel about this, To be honest, I don't feel
like I'm providing as much as when I was the
bread winner, he says. But that's a conversation for a
different day. I'll expand on that conversation a bit. Yeah,

(57:44):
I absolutely get that too. And it's the same stupid,
backwards reason why I don't want my wife to go
out and shovel the driveway or mow the lawn because
I am a jerk. I'm a sexist jerk, not because
I don't think she'd do a great job. She wouldn't
on the yard. But I just I it's it's I

(58:09):
get the door for women, I pick up the check,
you know when I when I was dating and still do.
Don't tell my wife that last part. So I I'm
just I. It's it's the way I look at it.
I like it's my job to go out and bring
home the bacon. And my wife says, but I asked

(58:31):
you to get several other things in this list. I
could I couldn't find these things but I found the bacon.
I don't know where towfoodie is. I don't know what
towfoodie is. I will not be eating it. I don't
think you should either, So I didn't get it. Did
you ask someone, no, I don't think it exists. Yes,
I did, and they said it doesn't exist. Scott, you

(58:52):
didn't ask anyone it does exist. It's over in the
toefoodie aisle. There's no toefoodie. I looked. I looked at
the above each aisle at the grocery store. You go
to high Ve and it's like, here's where the bread is,
Here's where the pop is, Here's where the cereal is.
None of them say tofoodie, so they don't have it.

(59:15):
Where was I? Yeah, I got to bring home the bacon.
I know where the bacon is. A big sign above
it says bacon. Yeah, it's a thing. It's chauvinism. It's
a thing. Anyway, Cody says on the topic of childcare,

(59:36):
I thought the cost of childcare was absolutely absurd, and
so I was that guy called around to literally every
childcare facility in Bellevue and Papillion and talk to all
of them, trying to find the most reasonable childcare. And
what I found was they all had the exact same price,
and there was one of them that helped me understand

(59:57):
why there's a specific dollar amount that the state will
pay for childcare. All you have to do is file
for it and qualify, which isn't very difficult income wise.
So because this is the minimum and all these places, no,
it's the minimum that the state will pay. None of
them will accept less than that. Just wanted to point

(01:00:18):
that out. That's from Cody, sent to Scott at kfab
dot com. Do we have collusion and communism artificially inflating
the cost of childcare?

Speaker 3 (01:00:34):
I think who's paying the extra money for these saxpayers?

Speaker 2 (01:00:38):
Huh, well, and the people who are affording the high
cost of childcare every single month. Now, it used to
be you'd either have a parent stay home. There is
another phenomenon, and that was your parents who would be
retired or maybe it also used to be that a
a mother would still be at home, not working. She

(01:01:01):
hasn't had, you know, maybe a part time job here
or there, but she would be she'd be home and
she say, yeah, I would love to come for a
few hours a day and help you guys out and
watch the kids. What do you want us to pay you, mom,
for a chance to squeeze my grandchildren? Nothing, i'd pay
you how much you're gonna pay us? That was I'm

(01:01:23):
not actually gonna pay you, just saying saying I love
my grandkids. So you know, mom would help what? But
we don't have that anymore because mom and dad are
both still working into their seventies and eighties, mostly because
their kids are still living with them into their forties
and fifties. Everything is all topsy turvying stupid. And then

(01:01:43):
I saw this. This is from my friend Jesse. Jesse
as a friend of mine from college from the theater department,
in case you're wondering what her politics are. But I
was in college in the theater department too, so it's
not a foregone conclusion. But thinking about all my friends
from that era at Carney, I don't think any of

(01:02:03):
them voted for Trump anyway. My friend Jesse, and Jesse
is a girl Jesse. When you hear Jesse, do you
think boy or girl? I have friends named Jesse about
the girl and boy persuasion.

Speaker 4 (01:02:15):
Jesse is a friend, He's been a good friend.

Speaker 2 (01:02:19):
He's been a good friend of mine. So you think,
boy boy, yeah, you know, I should have this conversation
a bit more. But the point is probably moot. But
she's watching it with those eyes. Jesse girl, Jesse says, Okay,
I might annoy some men and some really disappointing women tonight,

(01:02:43):
but I don't know what caused her to go off
on this. But here's what she said. The reason our
grandparents and great grandparents' marriages lasted wasn't because women were
more loyal or had more family values. It was because
they didn't have any choice. Women couldn't even open their
own credit cards or bank accounts until the nineteen seventies.

(01:03:06):
Leaving wasn't a romantic dilemma, it was a financial impossibility.
Once women had their own money, everything shifted. A man
couldn't rely on obligation or survival to keep a relationship intact.
All he really had to offer was how he treated her.
And that's the part some people miss when they talk

(01:03:27):
about the male loneliness epidemic. But sure, let's make America
great again. Bring back the good old days when women
stayed because they had to, not because they wanted to
forgive me for not being nostalgic. Our point kind of swore.
There was a news story this week about so many

(01:03:47):
guys are lonely. Yes, I wonder though if they were
really lonely, or if whatever women in their lives just
say they're lonely. Like he's always just by himself. He
doesn't really like you know what. He's probably fine. I
asked him why he was, and he said fine, But
I know he's not fine. He's probably fine, But I imagine

(01:04:10):
there are guys out there that are lonely. It turns
out that having relationships with AI or online smut doesn't
exactly set you up to be able to give much
to somebody else in terms of companionship. And when you
have when you don't instill values and responsibility into young men,

(01:04:33):
they don't grow into men. And you need a man
to be able to help raise a family, to be
able to be a provider, to be able to be
a good husband. And when we don't raise men, we
don't have them. So they're just sitting around going six
to seven and playing video games and living with their
parents and not at all interested in going out and

(01:04:53):
doing anything themselves. They don't want to work, they don't
want driver's license. Now, thankfully, they're so many any young
people who are the complete opposite of what I just described,
So there is hope for the future. My son's not
one of them. He's useless, but there are a lot
of great kids out there. But yes, in the last

(01:05:15):
twenty five years or so, there has been less of
an alliance on marriage being not something we try, but
something that we have a true partnership that's worth fighting
for on occasion, and it means something beyond just yeah,

(01:05:36):
let's see how this goes. So all that aside, what
do you think about what she said that you know,
as you look at those pictures of your grandparents and
you think they were great, they were married sixty years,
And then she's basically saying, yeah, because your grandma had
to be She couldn't get a job, she couldn't have

(01:05:57):
her own money, she couldn't open her own bank account,
she couldn't get a credit card, and that's why she
stayed with your grandpa. It was probably a drunk, abusive jerk.
And I'm looking back at pictures of my grandparents, going,
why don't think my grandpa was a drunk abusive jerk?
I thought he was great. I what do you think

(01:06:19):
about this losey.

Speaker 4 (01:06:20):
I think that a lot of people get hung up
on definitions of great again. And my grandmother bought a
house in the nineteen forties, bought it within her own name.
So what she says about women having money overall, that's
a true statement. But it wasn't hard and fast, and
you couldn't get around it, and there was no other way.

(01:06:41):
And I think that families that grew up kids that
grew up in the fifties would probably have a different
definition of great again than people like me who grew
up in the eighties. If we could get America back
to the eighties, where everybody for the most part, respected
other people, followed laws, did what they was right. And

(01:07:02):
I'm talking in generalities, of course, but if we have
that kind of great again and the other aspect of
great make America great again, that other countries would understand
we are a powerhouse. Don't mess with us. We don't
want to go to war. I don't want to go
to war. But if we act like, oh, we're so

(01:07:23):
kind and good and we'll just do whatever you want
us to do other countries, that's not great.

Speaker 2 (01:07:31):
Oh that's what got us to this point. Right, you know,
all these countries they put tariffs on us, We don't
put tariffs on them. President Trump says we're gonna do tariffs.
People lose their minds like we're doing reciprocal to This
is the exact same thing they're doing to us. Why
are we doing this because we want them all to
go away?

Speaker 4 (01:07:47):
You people who don't want to make America great again,
think about going outside right now, just walking down the
street at midnight. That we did all the time in
the eighties and the nineties, you wouldn't do it today.
I don't care what name rigor in is.

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
It just because we didn't have the constant barrage of
news in our pockets and our faces all the time
telling us how awful it is out there.

Speaker 4 (01:08:07):
I've thought about that, and I think that that is
an aspect, but I also think that there is far
more of it, along with far more information about it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:17):
Do you think your grandma stayed with your grandpa because
she wanted to leave but couldn't.

Speaker 3 (01:08:21):
She didn't stay with him?

Speaker 2 (01:08:22):
And that well all right? Do you think blanket statement
our grandmothers stayed with our grandfathers for those because it
was pretty rare to have divorces back then, do you
unheard of? Do you think that they did that? Yeah,
lot of it because they all wanted to leave, but
they didn't have the money to do so.

Speaker 4 (01:08:42):
I don't know about money, but I think that there
were a lot of women. I would say that the
majority of women who wanted a divorce from nineteen forty
to nineteen seventy didn't get one because they stayed because
that's what they needed to do, or they couldn't live
on their own.

Speaker 1 (01:08:59):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:08:59):
Now you're not just our grandparents, but our parents.

Speaker 4 (01:09:02):
That's where that's why we had the explosion of divorces
in the nineteen seventies. Millard was Duars' mom's heaven.

Speaker 2 (01:09:11):
Right, and that was before Facebook.
