Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott vorhiz and why does it smell like gingerbread in here?
It's smells so good. Take a big whiff of radio,
my friends. This is what it smells like. It smells
like gingerbread and leather bound tomes. Good morning. I'm Scott Vorhees.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
That's that gingerbread biker.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Why is your microphone so low?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Because Gary didn't win on.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
A day we needed to hear Lucy loud and clear.
That is Lucy Chapman. What did you say?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It's that gingerbread biker group gang.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
We have a gingerbread biker gang.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Here on They rolled through here about eight.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Oh I didn't, I thought with the weather this morning,
they probably canceled.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
That tour gingerbread many summer missing a leg.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I know. I went running after one of them and
he said he said, I couldn't catch him because he's
the gingerbread man, and he got on his Harley and
took off. That's why I like the gingerbread bike gang.
They ride Harley's, not these little little bikes. These guys
that they're men. They're gingerbread men, not gingerbread boys. All right,
(01:10):
So as I was saying, what was I saying? Good morning.
I'm Scott Voorhees. There's Lucy Chapman. Yeah, sorry about the
dead air. A moment ago, the air profession the air
died well. I joked as I came in here, having
been gone all last week. I joked to Gary, like,
which button do I press to start the the commercials
(01:32):
and stuff and the element the audio elements as a joke,
and then I didn't do it. I had one job.
I was over in the Total Traffic Center talking to Lucy,
and I was gonna tell you before we got a
little sidetracked, and suddenly I was like, wait, how much
time went by? I was gonna tell you we could
do two hours of traffic reports, because it took me
(01:54):
three times as long as it normally does to get
into work this morning. And there wasn't I mean, there
wasn't more traffic. It's just people, the way it always
happens here in Omaha. You get people who are going
along fine, and as long as they don't stop on
an incline, they're okay. But then you get those lights
(02:18):
that are on a bit of an incline. So now
you come up to it and you got like three
cars in front of you and the light goes from
red to green, and everyone starts to try and go
through the intersection, and all it takes is one of
the lead vehicles to start spinning wheels and no one
behind them can go.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Can you imagine if we had the city council that
we have today, if we had had that back in
eighteen fifty, we could have convinced them to knock down
all these stupid hills. We are in the brasket in
the planes, we get snow, let's make it a flat town.
We would have gotten that done.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
You know what, We've got the coolest mayor here in Omaha.
And I know because there was a picture of him
on Facebook wearing a shirt that said coolest Mayor. I see.
So I'm sure Mayor Johnny Wing can get that done. Yeah,
just smooth it all out.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Just get a couple of graters in here.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Or better yet, just one downhill slope from my house
to where I work and then I can just slalom
in now getting home, well, getting home, I just used
the ski lift. Or better yet, you ever go to
one of those places where this is where I'm going
to act like an avid skier and I am not.
(03:36):
But you ever go to one of those places. You
can either take the ski lift or they've got that
rope line with like the handle you can hold onto
and it just pulls you on your skis up the
side of the hill or mountain or slope and that's
super fun. What if you hit a bump, Well, the
idea is is that you don't hit a bump because
(03:58):
everyone's going along the same route. What you would do
is you would hit someone in front of you who
got a little cocky and started goofing around and then
fell down and you're like, I can't stop, and then
you just bowl right over them. And then that's a
bump for a while until enough snow and other skis
packed that person down, and yeah, call him lumpy. So
(04:20):
that's that's we just have dose. But how awful is
it right now when people are driving? Because I heard
you say that four eighty northbound was blocked up from
Cumming Street to the JFK. That's that's a long way,
almost the entire stretch of Omaha.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I'm checking to see if it's been removed yet. You know,
it was actually a truck that went and I don't
believe there were any injuries. A truck that went over
the over the edge there just a little bit on
that bridge there. Yeah, just one lane is still open,
and that is the far left lane if you're northbound
trying to hit the north freeway, and yes, you are
(05:03):
back to still past Martha.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
That's that's not as bad as JFK.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
But well it's about a block from JFK.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
From where you should start getting in that lane.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I'm looking at a stop UPS truck right now.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I'm not gonna argue traffic with Lucy's the.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Traffic right now. The UPS guy's going, Hey, that's me,
I'm looking at you.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
There was an addition to Mad Magazine where the kid
had clipped all of the newspaper clippings featuring him and
his friends are like, what are you talking about? It
was like population of the town fifty nine and thirty one,
and he'd circled the one and said that's me. And
there was a big crowd and circled a face in
the back. He's like, that's me. That's my red shirt.
(05:51):
UPS truck driver, that's me. I'm a radio star.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Slasher lights UPS truck. If you're approaching Martha, Flasher breaks.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
For me the way.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
If you're a radio Stow. It is what happened.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
He flashed his lights.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
No he did not.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Oh he's just trying to change lanes. Dang it. Jeez,
all right, it was right at the right moment.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Hey, hey, God, quit try it. Do you do you
think this is what he does? He's up there going
all right, let's let's see here. Let's focus in on
one on this little blue ball. No, Lucy is playing
god in the total traffic center. Obviously, I came back.
(06:34):
I chose the wrong time to go on vacation because
early last week, other than I guess, there was a
day where the wind was just absolutely stupid, hillatious, So
I was glad I wasn't here for that. I don't
mind cold, and I don't mind snow. And the thing
I always say this time of year is, if it's
gonna be this cold, it might as well snow. If
(06:57):
you can't go out and do anything, I might as
well have snow all over the ground. It just makes
it more pretty to look at. I like sitting around
and basically in my pajamas all day on a Saturday,
watching football game after football game, after Stranger Things after
Stranger Things, after Stranger Things, after Stranger Things after football
game and watching the snow fall outside. And that's a
(07:18):
nice way to spend a Saturday. I felt yesterday after
getting up after basically being in my recliner for two
and a half straight days, I thought that rigor mortis
had set in. I actually went jogging in a loop
around from the kitchen to the living room to the
entryway to the hallway to the kitchen. I went. My
wife is like, what are you doing. I said, I
(07:41):
have to move. I feel like I'm going to die.
And then I sat right back down and watched a
little more football. Having watched all of the Stranger Things
episodes that have been released thus far, well.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
You didn't just start the series over. That's what normal
people do.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
No, no, I'll tell you this about Strange Things. I'm
good with it coming to an end here in the
next month. I'm good with it. It's I can tell
you the repetition of the the one profane taking the
Lord's name in vain word, because apparently now all the
(08:19):
kids are old enough, they're like, we're just gonna have
them throw this phrase around non stop. I'm like, okay, yeah,
I get it. So I didn't like that there's uh,
there's I guess what they see as a necessary gay
(08:39):
timeline that's also going on, which is fine. I don't
know that it needs to be explored at a time
when monsters are overtaking the town. And I still say
that Vecna, the big, you know, scary guy in this show,
I still say he's got a gun on him. He
looks stupid. Other than that, I really like Stranger Things.
And we inhaled the new episodes of it over the weekend,
(09:04):
and we get a few more nothing nothing like the uh,
you know, the taking the Lord's name in vain over
and over and over again show by all of the
characters in the show. To release this next round of
episodes on Christmas Day. I'm not going to watch it
on Christmas Day. Christmas Day is reserved for things other
(09:28):
than watching Stranger Things and all of the adult themes
and the violence and the language and all the rest
of it. But the day after I think even God's like,
all right, let's see what happens next. Unless that's blasphemous,
then I didn't say that.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
When you say are you talking about j C.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
No, I'm talking about the gosh darn it phrase girsh
darnet over that that variation of that phrase. So I
guess what I was saying was that the roads are
really bad and I should be on vacation now. I
(10:09):
should be on vacation now, because most of last week
was pretty decent, right, and then then it got super cold.
It got windy and cold, and then it got snowy,
and I got back just in time for the snow
to start falling on We got back on Friday afternoon.
I was in case you're like, oh, no, Scott, were
(10:29):
you able to watch the Husker game? Oh, don't worry.
I watched the third quarter in its entirety on the plane,
and thank goodness, there was an airplane sickness bag handy.
We are the worst third quarter team in the history
of football. But be that as it may, Bowl game,
(10:51):
move ahead, go beg red. We had a wonderful time
last week, and I'll well, I should probably tell you
where I went, what I did. Do you want some
of that? Or you like, now talk about something for
change and then get to that later.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I think the phrase you're looking for is do you
want some of this?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah? Do you want some of this? All right, we'll
do that get that out of the way and then
talk about all the other stuff. Because I used a
phrase when talking to Gary about forty five minutes ago.
I said, it was amazing how very little change while
I was gone, And there's a reason why I put
it that way. We'll get to all of that in
(11:35):
just a moment.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Scott voice News Radio eleven to KFAB.
Speaker 1 (11:41):

in some cases sold, some of them cost money. iHeartRadio
doesn't It's free. Let's see here, Mark says about stranger things.
Oh my gosh, I thought the same thing about them
constantly taking the Lord's name in vain. Look, I'm not
a Puritan or anything like, I get it, but there
(12:49):
is a I do have a threshold for such things.
I'm like, okay, I mean, if the use of that phrase,
which is the vile, blasphemous version of gosh, darn it,
if the use of that phrase is a request for
the Lord to darn something, I'm changing the words here.
(13:12):
You've got to give him time. He like, he's got
to take a look at the situation, decide whether or
not it needs to be darned like socks. And then
and then before you suddenly like throw throw three more
things at him, They're like whoa, whoa, whoa. One at
a time. People, That's all I'm saying. And then Chris says,
we are also returning to the big oh this morning.
(13:34):
It's quite a shock from the near ninety degree. Whether
in Egypt, I swear I saw a likeness of Gary
Sadelmayer in one of the tomb's hieroglyphics. Well, that's because
after he retires semi mostly retirement here in two weeks.
We have built a pyramid in his honor, and don't
(13:55):
He's not going to die. He's just going to hang
out there and whenever I take whenever I take another
week off, then Gary can come in here and fill
in and no one will want me back that next Monday.
That's how that works. Can't wait? So Scott, when are
you going to take some time off? Never? I'm not
going to be that guy. Hey, let's all forget about
(14:15):
the legendary Gary Sadlemayer. Hi as Scott voorhe's here on
kfab's Morning News. Never taken a day off again. I'm
going to come in here sick. I don't care if
my spleen is hanging out. But I was gone last
week and here's what you were. Yeah, I wasn't here
all last week, thanks Lucy. Oh Now, I remember my
(14:39):
wife had a milestone birthday in October, so this actually
got spinning a year ago. On her birthday when I said, hey,
you got a milestone birthday next year, and what do
you want to do? She says, you know what, maybe
we could take a cruise. I said that would be great.
Kids would be old enough, our daughter would be away
at college at the time, She's like, no, I I
(15:00):
want them to go. I was like, no, why, And
so the whole family went, and I was so happy.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Did the deck cans all get together and sing her
Happy Birthday?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yes? Yes, all of these staff members from the Philippines
and Indonesia all got together and did a rousing rendition
of Happy birth No. We so we did a Royal
Caribbean cruise, the first one that we had done since
we did a Royal Caribbean cruise for our honeymoon, which
(15:32):
was just over twenty three years ago. Things have changed now.
The decks have even more places to eat all the time.
The entertainment is off the charts amazing. We saw shows
like diving shows and singing and dancing shows and all that.
They were just happening like this is Broadway or at
(15:52):
least Vegas style entertainment. And it was amazing. And of
course on a cruise you just eat and eat, eat
and eat and eat, and then later you eat and
it was great. And then like my son who basically
he's sixteen, sophomore in high school, he got on the
boat and said, I'm gonna go walk around by myself,
and we're like, yeah, that's typical. Never saw him again.
(16:16):
I don't know if he made it home. I don't know.
His door is sometimes closed. I figure he's in there.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Was he not on the plane with you?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Well, I don't know. Well we were, since we couldn't
check in the day before. We all couldn't sit together
on the plane ride back. So I don't know. I
think my wife is not panicking as much anymore. So
I suspect he's home. I don't know. I just I
sometimes hear someone just shuffling around going bro bro, bro bro,
you know, So I think he's home.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
But so it'd safe you say not to look for
you on a future dateline.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Arts Honest to goodness, he got into with a group
of friends that included three sisters aged eighteen, like almost
seventeen and almost sixteen. Oh my goodness, is the phrase
Irish triplets? Is that offensive? If so? I didn't say it,
but so and these girls were all like, I don't know,
(17:09):
some sort of European or something. So he and the
other boy is kind of glombed onto that scene.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I'm sure and twist there are yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
And so we never saw him again, and that my
wife is like, but we're supposed to be taking this
cruise together, but my son did join us for meals
because this is great. It's like, hey, choose your starter chew,
choose your main entree, and choose your dessert. And then
we get home and all there is is like whatever
you forage for, and he's like, what are we going
to do for a starter? Like a starter? So he's, yeah,
(17:47):
super spoiled on the cruise ship, which is kind of
the point. My daughter, who was a freshman in college
eighteen years old, she did the yeoman's work of talking
my wife off ledge as my son was pretty much
awfulway from the family for so much of the cruise,
and they would stay up late all night like they
always do when they get together. The that the women
(18:11):
in on my wife's side of the family now including
my daughter, are all nocturnal creatures, and so I went
to bed, I thought at a reasonable hour, Like I
stayed out one night until almost midnight. That's pretty good
listening to an eighties band saying all night long. I'm like,
it's not gonna be all night long, Lionel, It's gonna
be another ten fifteen minutes. That's that's a lot of
(18:34):
time for me, but my wife did have a dirty moment,
dirty Mormon's moment on the cruise ship. All right, here's
that story really real quick. I don't want to stretch
this out too like coming up next. Here's the basis
of that phrase. How can I say the story as
quickly as possible. When I was in high school, one
(18:54):
of my best friends was known as the dirty Mormon
because he drank, he smoked, and he went out with girls,
and so his his Mormon friends said, you're You're the
dirty Mormon and I'm not Mormon. And he and I
got along just great, and he's still one of my
great friends. And my wife just thought it was so
funny that he was called the dirty Mormon. So we're
(19:14):
flying to this years later, my wife and I are
flying to San Francisco and the pilot's like Noah and
something about Utah being out there, and my wife, who
had headphones on, not realizing how loud she was talking
on the plane. After hearing the pilots say Utah is
down they were flying over Utah, she looks out the
window and says, much louder than she thought, are there
(19:35):
any dirty Mormons? Down there? Like to where? Like I
think people in Utah heard her from thirty thousand feet.
She was so loud. That's one hundred percent true. And
so we had another dirty Mormon's moment on the event.
Royal Caribbeans got their own private little island, and so
(19:55):
we're on the island and we were telling them, like,
the last time we're on this island, all this wasn't here. Basically,
it was just some hammocks and some chickens running around,
and the chickens iguanas. And I knew I was on
vacation from my honeymoon, and I woke up in a
hammock and I looked down in a chicken is drinking
out of my rum punch. I was like, we are
(20:16):
so far from Kansas. I was living in Kansas at
the time. So and now they got all this stuff,
but they still had chickens, which, of course my kids
and my wife are like, look, chickens. And we saw
all these chickens and all this stuff. So we're walking
along this little trail and my wife sees a chicken
that is differently colored than the other chickens, and she
loudly points at it and yells, look, there's a black one,
(20:40):
and just beyond where this chicken is. Can you already
see where the story's going. Yeahs a black guy who's
just walking along the other side of the trail, who
can't see the chicken, who just sees my wife amazed
that she just look, look, there's a black one. And
he looks up and he's like, hey, got a way,
(21:02):
was like, hey, yeah, it's a I guess it's a
big deal for you guys in the Midwest. Come down
here and see this kind of thing. Take it all in.
Hear it. And my wife is like and I immediately
started laughing. And my wife's like, no, no, there's a
chicken and he's walking by. He's just like, man, there's
racist people on. I don't know if they're racist or
just ignorant or whatever. But she was really happy to
(21:24):
see me. And so that is now along with the
are there any dirty Mormons down there? Now we have
a new phrase in the family. Look, there's a black one.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
You have the sun his family.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Oh yeah, we have a very very fun family. All right.
So there's what I did on my summer vacation, which
this year was over the week of Thanksgiving. Fox News
update here in just a couple of minutes Scott Voice
Sheriff Aaron Hanson Douglas County had posted about how now
it's it's cold and this was the other day as
(22:01):
what is Yeah, He's like, hey, when you got hey
cold on, I means it might be slippery. You should
put a coat on, dad, and Sheriff Aaron Hanson says cold.
And as far as the homeless population in this community,
he'd said that here's what he said to be cold,
(22:22):
we got like zero on the windshill. Unless you are
personally camped in a tent in sub freezing tempts, which
Aaron Hanserson says I have, you likely have no true
comprehension about how precarious and perilous it is to do
so without the appropriate and expensive specialized gear. Nearly every
(22:43):
successful rehabilitation story starts at the front door of a shelter,
and he says we need to support shelters and to
the tent community, which he's not talking to people who
live in the tents. Many of them don't have a
place to charge their smartphones, so they probably didn't see
(23:03):
this post on Facebook. But he's talking about those who
stand up and say no, no, it's it's mean it's
inhumane to get people out of tent shelters or homelessness
around the community. So he says, look to those who
are living on the streets, utilize shelters. They're not perfect,
(23:25):
but they are much more safe. Help and healthier paths
do exist. Please avoid activities that result in you being
banned from shelters, like drug and alcohol use. At many
of these shelters, you can't be in there doing that stuff.
(23:46):
So this is his message. He's like, look, I know
that everyone was like, oh, it's it's mean, what are
we going to do criminalize homelessness and all that? So
now we got the Facebook comments and it's always something
with the activist crowd. And the one that I thought
was just stupid funny in it, like very darkly stupid
(24:11):
funny was this lady that said, well, I know personally
three people who are deaf who are living in a
tent out because the the the shelters kick them out
because they're deaf. They couldn't understand. They're like, hey, we're
(24:31):
trying to give you some instructions here and the people
are like I can't hear you, and they're like, I'm
not gonna deal with you. Being deaf. Get out, Get out.
Take your lack of hearing with you. You know, hey, you
see sign language. This is me pointing you and then
pointing at the door. You out, You understand that sign language.
Stupid deaf people go live on the streets, deaf people.
(24:53):
And so this lady is like, I know three deaf
people living on there. Like she's not going to open
up her house. She's like, personally know it's good good
friends of mine, three people who are deaf, who are
personally living on the streets because the shelters can't deal
with deaf people. And so Sheriff Hanson responds to her saying,
please let me know where they are. I will personally
(25:16):
and I'll take a sign language interpreter with me. I
will personally go to them and we will get them
into a shelter and make sure that this horrible thing
that never actually happened, this horrible thing would never happen again.
And so I was reading some of this and I
texted Sheriff Hanson yesterday. I said, as she get back
(25:38):
to you with the location of all those deaf people
living around Omaha on the streets, he said, not yet, Like, Okay,
I'm shocked. I am shocked. How shameless and ridiculous do
you have to be when you've got people out there
freezing to death in the streets and you're like, well,
you know, because they're all deaf and not at all,
(26:02):
because like some people are so blind to reason that
they probably also kicked blind people out of the shelters too.
By the way, and Tommy, he is way out of luck.
There's not even any pinball machines in there. There's your
nineteen seventies rock opera reference for this segment of the
radio program. Even Lucy can get that one.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah, Tommy, I just watched that from the very beginning
to the end, maybe like three months ago. And I
just watched Blues Brothers all the way through fantastic first
time really yesterday. I have to admit one thing, though,
What's that Towards the end of the movie, I kept thinking,
(26:42):
how much longer is this on?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I really enjoyed it Blues Brothers, but well, that's part
of the humor of Blues Brothers is the you know,
that whole thing goes on comically long. It basically the
whole movie is akin to the scene of the Nazis
the car falling out of the sky Forever, which I
(27:06):
laugh harder at that now when I watch it than
anything else in the movie. Those Nazis sitting there in
the car that's just falling and falling and falling is
so funny to me and Tommy. Tina Turner's acid Queen
performance awesome, Oh yeah, so good.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Do you think Aretha Franklin in the Diner was kind
of sort of going off that same kind of an
idea I just saw there were a few similarities with
Blues Brothers to other movies.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Well, I mean it's it's basically, you know, hey, we
got to get the band back together. You know, it's
a road movie kind of a thing. But the thing
about Blues Brothers that makes it so great to me
is when Ackroyd was putting all this together, He's like, no,
we're gonna use these musicians, not actors, not comedians. We're
(27:58):
gonna use guys like Steve Cropper, and we're going to
use their luck.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Done.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yeah, yeah, We're gonna use what's his name, No, Darryl
Duck Duck done. Yeah, that's right. We're gonna use these guys,
real musicians, and then we're gonna pull people like Aretha
Franklin and Ray Charles and Cap Callaway and now like
you look back and go over of course, yeah, James Brown,
We're gonna use you would look at this and go
of course they're legends. But in nineteen seventy eight, seventy nine,
(28:28):
when they started conceiving of this movie, these guys weren't legends.
They were has beens. Aretha Ray, I mean, it's.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
To think about it. But you weren't on the charts.
Disco was king blues music and soul R and B
singers from the sixties. This isn't funny and it's lame,
and why they had Ackroyd had to fight so hard
to say no, trust me on this. This is the
whole basis the movie is to get these artists out
(28:59):
of the dust bins in the back of the record store,
back out to prominence. And thank god he did, because
that was what made the soul pardon the pun of
the whole movie was to have those artists be a
part of it, which I love Blues Brothers, I love
the soundtrack of the movie. Lucy doesn't like it. Orange Whip,
(29:20):
Orange three, Orange whips. So it's great, this mall has
everything going back, going back. Oh yeah, deaf people being
kicked out of homeless shelter. It doesn't happen. And yet
there's some people that just like, but but what about if, like, Okay,
let me find some fanciful scenario that may or may
(29:42):
not exist and make the entire basis of my argument
on this one outlier, and not the fact that the activists,
including your city council, who's too spineless and sackless to
do anything about the situation. This your Omaha City Council
voted to let people live out there in the streets,
not allow law enforcement to do anything to help them. Now,
(30:05):
if you had someone ranting and raving at seventy second
in Dodge or you know, in a radio studio and
they're just ranting and raving and they're out there not
dressed for the elements and snowing on them an ice
and drizzle and it's dangerously cold, you would call the
police and go, hey, we have a problem here. But
if someone's like, I'm just living here on a bench
(30:26):
or in a tent that has been provided by one
of the activist groups around here, which are often paid
for through your tax dollars in various grants from some
people who just think it's mean for the cops to
be harassing people just because they're down on their luck
and not because they have drug and mental problems that
have yet to be looked at and treated. We just
(30:47):
let them live out in the streets and just die
out there. Someone was ranting at seventy second Dodge with
a gun, waving a gun around. You say that person
is a danger to himself and others, and you would
certainly want the police to do something about that. But
if you're just living out there in the streets, ready
to die out there and dangerously cold temperatures, well then
that's a situation where that person's gonna die. Except the
(31:08):
means of death is not a gun to the head.
It's dangerously cold, wind chills and temperatures which are only
gonna be here for the next four months. And you've
not given law enforcement the tools to do anything about this.
That and then you're gonna say, well, I know people
who are living on the streets who are deaf. No,
you don't, And even if you do, would you look
(31:30):
around and think, oh, all the problems of people living
on the burgeoning homeless problem in our community. There's just
too many deaf people who have no other means of
taking care of themselves, and they've been driven out to
the streets.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Don't you think it's more likely that they did something
else and also happen to be death.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I think it's more likely that this scenario this woman
put forth doesn't exist, or if it does, and she
really does know these people and sheriff hands and said,
let me know where they are. I can help them.
I will use the resources of my county Sheriff's department
to help them. And she's not going to do it.
Why I don't know. Why doesn't she invite them into
(32:13):
her own house? You know, it's it's ridiculous, all right,
So the same rant, slightly different, tune to it. It's
the story here today about the Nebraska homeschool Network that said, obviously,
during COVID and right after, we had a number of
families choosing to homeschool their kids. Great understand, but they say,
(32:34):
we're surprised that those numbers haven't come down in these
years since COVID schools have been back up. Why aren't
kids going back? In fact, there was an uptick from
like twenty twenty two to twenty twenty four of like
three thousand kids. More kids are going into homeschooling. Why
is that? Could it be that?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
This?
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Could it be? Yes, it could be all of those
things and some sort of health or wellness issue with
your kids. Sure it could. But you know what the
biggest reason is because these public schools suck so Omaha, Lincoln,
These public schools suck, and we pay for so much
(33:16):
we see no results. Again, I'm talking about the schools,
not the Nebraska football team. And you got teachers in there.
Some of them are fantastic, most of them are awful,
and they let the kids get away with bloody murder threats, violence,
vaping in the bathrooms. Kids don't feel safe there. Kids
are getting beat up, and then the schools go, well,
(33:36):
we can move your kid the one who got beat
up into a different classroom, like or you could deal
with the person who's doing the violence, and you could
do I mean, we don't want to do that. He's scary.
You know. This is the reason, because you get your
kids get home from school and you're like, what you
learned today? I don't know. I watched TV all day
I just they said, you guys got free time. I
just watched a movie on my iPad all day. This
(33:59):
is why so many people are homeschooling their kids. It's
also cyber Monday, Lucy. This is the day when people
would normally be at work, busily working furthering the interests
of the company and the corporation, the movement, or whatever
it is they're doing, but instead they're just screwing around
(34:22):
on their phones or their computers, shopping and looking at
deals online. So we call this once in a year
thing where that kind of thing happens. You're fluent in sarcasm, right, Yeah,
we call it cyber Monday. I thought Black Friday was
cyber Friday because there's no more Black Friday.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Well, apparently the mall west Roads is pretty busy.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
West Roads is usually pretty busy, though on a weekend
and without school going on. I'm not surprised that West
Ros was busy, which is good to see. Yes, I'm
sure you could probably swing a cat through Oakview and
go from air section of the mall to a section
of the mall and not hit anybody, probably because they're
backing away because you're swinging a cat. But man, what
(35:11):
a huge difference in my life growing up here in Omaha.
Oh yeah, because west Roads was the place to be
and then Oakview opened, and then Oakview was the place
to be, and it was like west Roads was still
all right, but Oakview was the place and you only
(35:31):
go to Crossroads if you were joining a gang. So
I mean it was I mean, this is how it
was in the nineties and now Oakview. I bet that
if you were asked the kids at the west Roads
on Friday, do you know where the Oakview Mall is?
They're like, is it in Kansas City? They probably don't
(35:52):
even know. They probably not even heard of it.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
There's still some stores there.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
I know there's stores there. I go in there once
in a while because I'm used to it, Like, oh
I got to run over to Dillard's.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
That's where I go.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Yeah, or the Buckle. I go over to Oakview because
I don't like crowds.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Still Buckle, I think there is.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
There was the last time I was there, right, So
that's it's weird. But it's also weird that probably all
the teenagers, even early twenty somethings, they were at the
mall on Friday, they they don't know what Black Friday
used to be, even just like a decade ago. They
(36:37):
don't know. They don't know. It was families getting together
for Thanksgiving, not just to put gravy on various meats
and bread items, but also to plan a strategy where
if they had to, they would kill somebody to get
through the door. First thing when the doors opened, Holy
(37:00):
crown a clock in the middle of the night, so
they could rush in there stab people. Uh, and and
try and save like five bucks on a toaster.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
You're making sound way more than it really was, as they.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Don't even need. It was great. You could It was
like a legal way to just stampede people. You could
trample people saying. You would hear women going in there
going just save yourself, Martha, don't worry about me. I
hope you get that dress you wanted. Uh, they're just
getting trampled by herds of shoppers. And it was it
(37:37):
was fun. You could go in there, bloody some ladies,
I because you were elbowing her trying to get some
doll that your kid doesn't even want and won't play with.
I mean, it was it was bonkers. And and then
finally the police were like, all right, are we how
long are we going to let this go on? People
(37:58):
are camping out, they're spending Thanksgiving, not with their families,
enjoying a meal in a football game, but they're sleeping
on sidewalks so they can try and be the first
one through the door when we open it at six
o'clock in the morning or whatever we'd six in the
moon or whatever it is that we do. And it's
and it's violent. People are getting shot. It's crazy. And
(38:20):
then but the people should have told law enforcement and
all the powers that be and say, yes, we know
it's dangerous. We like it. That's that's why we do this,
is that element of danger because getting saving thirty five
percent on a TV that I don't need should be
(38:46):
you have some effort to go through it. I mean
that was for those people, for those shoppers, that was
their war. Like the way that God from Vietnam get
together and they talk, or sometimes they don't have to talk.
They just give each other knowing looks like oh they're like,
(39:08):
oh you sir, I serve too. Where were you I
was over here? Oh man, I know about that. And
you just give a look and that's all you got
to say. We've got women now in their late thirties,
early forties, maybe even into their fifties, who did this
when they were in their twenties and early thirties, who
just give each other knowing looks at Thanksgiving, like they
(39:32):
get a you know, their brother gets married again and
he's got a new wife who's about your age, and
you're like, where did you serve on Black Friday? I
was at the West Roads. What year twenty eleven? Oh, man,
that was a rough year for Black Friday. Still got
(39:54):
the scars, man, Not all of them are visible. I
still remember what I had to do that day.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
I had.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
To punch out a woman three times my age to
get something. I don't remember what it was. I just
saw it was on sale. It was great savings. I
think it was some little pod that had its own
lights on it, and you buy these other little pods
and you put the seed pods into the lighting thing
and you could like grow cilantro right there in your kitchen.
(40:24):
I bought that thing because it was on sale. Never
used it. I'm not sure where it is, but I
know I had to kill people to get it. Yeah,
I got scars. I saw some stuff, man, some things,
that's all gone now. It's like I was at work
and I took a few minutes there, and I clicked
a couple of things here, and I tapped out on
(40:46):
my phone and I saved a few bucks on something
that's been mailed to me. Like everything else I buy
throughout the entire year, it's just it's not fun anymore.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Well, people aren't fun anymore.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
People aren't fun anymore. What happened to us? Why do
we Why did we let it be to where you
camping out to get tickets for your favorite musician? Was awesome?
Was it smart? Was it safe? No? It was just awesome.
And then they put the part where you go to
the concert and it was all general admission, and they're like,
(41:22):
all right, we're opening up the gates and now you're
elbowing people like I gotta be front and center to
see Huey Lewis in the news. It's not like they're
still gonna be touring into the twenty twenties or anything.
I gotta see him now. They don't tour as much
as they used to.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
But well he doesn't tour at all.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
Uh yeah, I think he's taken a few years off.
But when we had him on the show a few
years ago. Hueiye, yeah, he said, I know, he's got
his good days and his bad days. Problem is, you
can't have a bad day when you're suddenly in the
middle of walking on a thin line and you can't
hear your balance is off. He's got that. You know,
it's tear. You still got the sports album. They can't
(42:04):
take that away from us. But they took being first
in line to get your tickets. They took Black Friday away. Uh,
the Huskers being in the National Championship picture after Thanksgiving,
it took that. They took it all away from us.
It's all gone.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
I blame chem trails. They they took on.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Yeah, they took the debate away from us, like when
you're when you're sitting there on going who won the
Heisman Trophy in ninet eighty five? Bo Jackson? No, I
don't think so. Yeah, it was Bo Jackson to Auburn.
I don't think so. I think it was Vinny Testaverdi. No,
that was that was the following year. Bo Jackson won
(42:48):
the Heisman Trophy in eighty five. Are you sure sure
it wasn't Doug Flutie. No, Bo Jackson. Now, before that
conversation would go on for an hour. Now you just
get your phone and go, you go. Who won the
Heisman Trophy in nineteen eighty five? It says, it was.
(43:09):
This is perfect, This is so perfect. Now you can
debate against AI. What do you know what it told me?
You know who it told me? Won the Heisman Trophy
in nineteen eighty five, Andrew Jackson? What yes?
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Ask again? Maybe they didn't.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
Maybe your voice said it said no. It said Andrew Jackson.
He had a great performance for Auburn that year and
narrowly beat Chuck long for to win the nine eighty
five Heisman Trophy. President Andrew Jackson. That's right. He led
the Americans in the War of eighteen twelve and also
rushed for one eight hundred and seventy six yards for
Auburn that year and picked up the Heisman Trophy. That's AI.
(43:53):
I swear to you, that's what it just told me.
All right, I'll ask again, who won the Heisman Trophy
in nineteen eight eight five? Andrew Jackson for his performance
in nineteen eighty five. Now, now it's still listening to me.
I can't read the synopsis, but it basically puts in
bo Jackson's stats as being Andrew Jackson Andrew Jackson.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
Well, well, now in a minute, is Bo Jackson? Is Bo?
His real name?
Speaker 1 (44:23):
Vincent is his real name, So it's not even Andrew,
and it even it has a picture of you know,
the eighteen hundred's Andrew Jackson. Yeah, and that, yeah, and
it went on to play for the Los Angeles Raiders
and until a hit pointer ruined his career in that
play with the page until that playoff game against the
(44:44):
Cincinnati Bengals and that. But they said, well that's too bad,
we'll put your picture on money.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
Scott Voice News Radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (44:55):
Neil emails scottikfab dot com and says Scott, I love
the show. I just wanted to make you aware though,
that there is a model train show this weekend at
Oakview Mall. I was saying that hardly anyone's there. You
know why you can do that. They've got the space
this weekend. They know they're not going to be overrun
(45:15):
model trains.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
Oh models, models and trains.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
It's the Nebraska Iowa Model Railroaders Club. And Neil says,
I will be there running trains on Saturday. That's what
he's doing this weekend is me too?
Speaker 3 (45:30):
Scott Boys Mornings nine to eleven, Our News Radio eleven
ten Kfab
Scott vorhiz and why does it smell like gingerbread in here?
It's smells so good. Take a big whiff of radio,
my friends. This is what it smells like. It smells
like gingerbread and leather bound tomes. Good morning. I'm Scott Vorhees.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
That's that gingerbread biker.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Why is your microphone so low?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Because Gary didn't win on.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
A day we needed to hear Lucy loud and clear.
That is Lucy Chapman. What did you say?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It's that gingerbread biker group gang.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
We have a gingerbread biker gang.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Here on They rolled through here about eight.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Oh I didn't, I thought with the weather this morning,
they probably canceled.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
That tour gingerbread many summer missing a leg.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I know. I went running after one of them and
he said he said, I couldn't catch him because he's
the gingerbread man, and he got on his Harley and
took off. That's why I like the gingerbread bike gang.
They ride Harley's, not these little little bikes. These guys
that they're men. They're gingerbread men, not gingerbread boys. All right,
(01:10):
So as I was saying, what was I saying? Good morning.
I'm Scott Voorhees. There's Lucy Chapman. Yeah, sorry about the
dead air. A moment ago, the air profession the air
died well. I joked as I came in here, having
been gone all last week. I joked to Gary, like,
which button do I press to start the the commercials
(01:32):
and stuff and the element the audio elements as a joke,
and then I didn't do it. I had one job.
I was over in the Total Traffic Center talking to Lucy,
and I was gonna tell you before we got a
little sidetracked, and suddenly I was like, wait, how much
time went by? I was gonna tell you we could
do two hours of traffic reports, because it took me
(01:54):
three times as long as it normally does to get
into work this morning. And there wasn't I mean, there
wasn't more traffic. It's just people, the way it always
happens here in Omaha. You get people who are going
along fine, and as long as they don't stop on
an incline, they're okay. But then you get those lights
(02:18):
that are on a bit of an incline. So now
you come up to it and you got like three
cars in front of you and the light goes from
red to green, and everyone starts to try and go
through the intersection, and all it takes is one of
the lead vehicles to start spinning wheels and no one
behind them can go.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Can you imagine if we had the city council that
we have today, if we had had that back in
eighteen fifty, we could have convinced them to knock down
all these stupid hills. We are in the brasket in
the planes, we get snow, let's make it a flat town.
We would have gotten that done.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
You know what, We've got the coolest mayor here in Omaha.
And I know because there was a picture of him
on Facebook wearing a shirt that said coolest Mayor. I see.
So I'm sure Mayor Johnny Wing can get that done. Yeah,
just smooth it all out.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Just get a couple of graters in here.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Or better yet, just one downhill slope from my house
to where I work and then I can just slalom
in now getting home, well, getting home, I just used
the ski lift. Or better yet, you ever go to
one of those places where this is where I'm going
to act like an avid skier and I am not.
(03:36):
But you ever go to one of those places. You
can either take the ski lift or they've got that
rope line with like the handle you can hold onto
and it just pulls you on your skis up the
side of the hill or mountain or slope and that's
super fun. What if you hit a bump, Well, the
idea is is that you don't hit a bump because
(03:58):
everyone's going along the same route. What you would do
is you would hit someone in front of you who
got a little cocky and started goofing around and then
fell down and you're like, I can't stop, and then
you just bowl right over them. And then that's a
bump for a while until enough snow and other skis
packed that person down, and yeah, call him lumpy. So
(04:20):
that's that's we just have dose. But how awful is
it right now when people are driving? Because I heard
you say that four eighty northbound was blocked up from
Cumming Street to the JFK. That's that's a long way,
almost the entire stretch of Omaha.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I'm checking to see if it's been removed yet. You know,
it was actually a truck that went and I don't
believe there were any injuries. A truck that went over
the over the edge there just a little bit on
that bridge there. Yeah, just one lane is still open,
and that is the far left lane if you're northbound
trying to hit the north freeway, and yes, you are
(05:03):
back to still past Martha.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
That's that's not as bad as JFK.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
But well it's about a block from JFK.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
From where you should start getting in that lane.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I'm looking at a stop UPS truck right now.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I'm not gonna argue traffic with Lucy's the.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Traffic right now. The UPS guy's going, Hey, that's me,
I'm looking at you.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
There was an addition to Mad Magazine where the kid
had clipped all of the newspaper clippings featuring him and
his friends are like, what are you talking about? It
was like population of the town fifty nine and thirty one,
and he'd circled the one and said that's me. And
there was a big crowd and circled a face in
the back. He's like, that's me. That's my red shirt.
(05:51):
UPS truck driver, that's me. I'm a radio star.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Slasher lights UPS truck. If you're approaching Martha, Flasher breaks.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
For me the way.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
If you're a radio Stow. It is what happened.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
He flashed his lights.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
No he did not.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Oh he's just trying to change lanes. Dang it. Jeez,
all right, it was right at the right moment.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Hey, hey, God, quit try it. Do you do you
think this is what he does? He's up there going
all right, let's let's see here. Let's focus in on
one on this little blue ball. No, Lucy is playing
god in the total traffic center. Obviously, I came back.
(06:34):
I chose the wrong time to go on vacation because
early last week, other than I guess, there was a
day where the wind was just absolutely stupid, hillatious, So
I was glad I wasn't here for that. I don't
mind cold, and I don't mind snow. And the thing
I always say this time of year is, if it's
gonna be this cold, it might as well snow. If
(06:57):
you can't go out and do anything, I might as
well have snow all over the ground. It just makes
it more pretty to look at. I like sitting around
and basically in my pajamas all day on a Saturday,
watching football game after football game, after Stranger Things after
Stranger Things, after Stranger Things, after Stranger Things after football
game and watching the snow fall outside. And that's a
(07:18):
nice way to spend a Saturday. I felt yesterday after
getting up after basically being in my recliner for two
and a half straight days, I thought that rigor mortis
had set in. I actually went jogging in a loop
around from the kitchen to the living room to the
entryway to the hallway to the kitchen. I went. My
wife is like, what are you doing. I said, I
(07:41):
have to move. I feel like I'm going to die.
And then I sat right back down and watched a
little more football. Having watched all of the Stranger Things
episodes that have been released thus far, well.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
You didn't just start the series over. That's what normal
people do.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
No, no, I'll tell you this about Strange Things. I'm
good with it coming to an end here in the
next month. I'm good with it. It's I can tell
you the repetition of the the one profane taking the
Lord's name in vain word, because apparently now all the
(08:19):
kids are old enough, they're like, we're just gonna have
them throw this phrase around non stop. I'm like, okay, yeah,
I get it. So I didn't like that there's uh,
there's I guess what they see as a necessary gay
(08:39):
timeline that's also going on, which is fine. I don't
know that it needs to be explored at a time
when monsters are overtaking the town. And I still say
that Vecna, the big, you know, scary guy in this show,
I still say he's got a gun on him. He
looks stupid. Other than that, I really like Stranger Things.
And we inhaled the new episodes of it over the weekend,
(09:04):
and we get a few more nothing nothing like the uh,
you know, the taking the Lord's name in vain over
and over and over again show by all of the
characters in the show. To release this next round of
episodes on Christmas Day. I'm not going to watch it
on Christmas Day. Christmas Day is reserved for things other
(09:28):
than watching Stranger Things and all of the adult themes
and the violence and the language and all the rest
of it. But the day after I think even God's like,
all right, let's see what happens next. Unless that's blasphemous,
then I didn't say that.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
When you say are you talking about j C.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
No, I'm talking about the gosh darn it phrase girsh
darnet over that that variation of that phrase. So I
guess what I was saying was that the roads are
really bad and I should be on vacation now. I
(10:09):
should be on vacation now, because most of last week
was pretty decent, right, and then then it got super cold.
It got windy and cold, and then it got snowy,
and I got back just in time for the snow
to start falling on We got back on Friday afternoon.
I was in case you're like, oh, no, Scott, were
(10:29):
you able to watch the Husker game? Oh, don't worry.
I watched the third quarter in its entirety on the plane,
and thank goodness, there was an airplane sickness bag handy.
We are the worst third quarter team in the history
of football. But be that as it may, Bowl game,
(10:51):
move ahead, go beg red. We had a wonderful time
last week, and I'll well, I should probably tell you
where I went, what I did. Do you want some
of that? Or you like, now talk about something for
change and then get to that later.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I think the phrase you're looking for is do you
want some of this?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah? Do you want some of this? All right, we'll
do that get that out of the way and then
talk about all the other stuff. Because I used a
phrase when talking to Gary about forty five minutes ago.
I said, it was amazing how very little change while
I was gone, And there's a reason why I put
it that way. We'll get to all of that in
(11:35):
just a moment.
Speaker 3 (11:36):

Oh my gosh, I thought the same thing about them
constantly taking the Lord's name in vain. Look, I'm not
a Puritan or anything like, I get it, but there
(12:49):
is a I do have a threshold for such things.
I'm like, okay, I mean, if the use of that phrase,
which is the vile, blasphemous version of gosh, darn it,
if the use of that phrase is a request for
the Lord to darn something, I'm changing the words here.
(13:12):
You've got to give him time. He like, he's got
to take a look at the situation, decide whether or
not it needs to be darned like socks. And then
and then before you suddenly like throw throw three more
things at him, They're like whoa, whoa, whoa. One at
a time. People, That's all I'm saying. And then Chris says,
we are also returning to the big oh this morning.
(13:34):
It's quite a shock from the near ninety degree. Whether
in Egypt, I swear I saw a likeness of Gary
Sadelmayer in one of the tomb's hieroglyphics. Well, that's because
after he retires semi mostly retirement here in two weeks.
We have built a pyramid in his honor, and don't
(13:55):
He's not going to die. He's just going to hang
out there and whenever I take whenever I take another
week off, then Gary can come in here and fill
in and no one will want me back that next Monday.
That's how that works. Can't wait? So Scott, when are
you going to take some time off? Never? I'm not
going to be that guy. Hey, let's all forget about
(14:15):
the legendary Gary Sadlemayer. Hi as Scott voorhe's here on
kfab's Morning News. Never taken a day off again. I'm
going to come in here sick. I don't care if
my spleen is hanging out. But I was gone last
week and here's what you were. Yeah, I wasn't here
all last week, thanks Lucy. Oh Now, I remember my
(14:39):
wife had a milestone birthday in October, so this actually
got spinning a year ago. On her birthday when I said, hey,
you got a milestone birthday next year, and what do
you want to do? She says, you know what, maybe
we could take a cruise. I said that would be great.
Kids would be old enough, our daughter would be away
at college at the time, She's like, no, I I
(15:00):
want them to go. I was like, no, why, And
so the whole family went, and I was so happy.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Did the deck cans all get together and sing her
Happy Birthday?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yes? Yes, all of these staff members from the Philippines
and Indonesia all got together and did a rousing rendition
of Happy birth No. We so we did a Royal
Caribbean cruise, the first one that we had done since
we did a Royal Caribbean cruise for our honeymoon, which
(15:32):
was just over twenty three years ago. Things have changed now.
The decks have even more places to eat all the time.
The entertainment is off the charts amazing. We saw shows
like diving shows and singing and dancing shows and all that.
They were just happening like this is Broadway or at
(15:52):
least Vegas style entertainment. And it was amazing. And of
course on a cruise you just eat and eat, eat
and eat and eat, and then later you eat and
it was great. And then like my son who basically
he's sixteen, sophomore in high school, he got on the
boat and said, I'm gonna go walk around by myself,
and we're like, yeah, that's typical. Never saw him again.
(16:16):
I don't know if he made it home. I don't know.
His door is sometimes closed. I figure he's in there.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Was he not on the plane with you?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Well, I don't know. Well we were, since we couldn't
check in the day before. We all couldn't sit together
on the plane ride back. So I don't know. I
think my wife is not panicking as much anymore. So
I suspect he's home. I don't know. I just I
sometimes hear someone just shuffling around going bro bro, bro bro,
you know, So I think he's home.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
But so it'd safe you say not to look for
you on a future dateline.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Arts Honest to goodness, he got into with a group
of friends that included three sisters aged eighteen, like almost
seventeen and almost sixteen. Oh my goodness, is the phrase
Irish triplets? Is that offensive? If so? I didn't say it,
but so and these girls were all like, I don't know,
(17:09):
some sort of European or something. So he and the
other boy is kind of glombed onto that scene.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I'm sure and twist there are yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
And so we never saw him again, and that my
wife is like, but we're supposed to be taking this
cruise together, but my son did join us for meals
because this is great. It's like, hey, choose your starter chew,
choose your main entree, and choose your dessert. And then
we get home and all there is is like whatever
you forage for, and he's like, what are we going
to do for a starter? Like a starter? So he's, yeah,
(17:47):
super spoiled on the cruise ship, which is kind of
the point. My daughter, who was a freshman in college
eighteen years old, she did the yeoman's work of talking
my wife off ledge as my son was pretty much
awfulway from the family for so much of the cruise,
and they would stay up late all night like they
always do when they get together. The that the women
(18:11):
in on my wife's side of the family now including
my daughter, are all nocturnal creatures, and so I went
to bed, I thought at a reasonable hour, Like I
stayed out one night until almost midnight. That's pretty good
listening to an eighties band saying all night long. I'm like,
it's not gonna be all night long, Lionel, It's gonna
be another ten fifteen minutes. That's that's a lot of
(18:34):
time for me, but my wife did have a dirty moment,
dirty Mormon's moment on the cruise ship. All right, here's
that story really real quick. I don't want to stretch
this out too like coming up next. Here's the basis
of that phrase. How can I say the story as
quickly as possible. When I was in high school, one
(18:54):
of my best friends was known as the dirty Mormon
because he drank, he smoked, and he went out with girls,
and so his his Mormon friends said, you're You're the
dirty Mormon and I'm not Mormon. And he and I
got along just great, and he's still one of my
great friends. And my wife just thought it was so
funny that he was called the dirty Mormon. So we're
(19:14):
flying to this years later, my wife and I are
flying to San Francisco and the pilot's like Noah and
something about Utah being out there, and my wife, who
had headphones on, not realizing how loud she was talking
on the plane. After hearing the pilots say Utah is
down they were flying over Utah, she looks out the
window and says, much louder than she thought, are there
(19:35):
any dirty Mormons? Down there? Like to where? Like I
think people in Utah heard her from thirty thousand feet.
She was so loud. That's one hundred percent true. And
so we had another dirty Mormon's moment on the event.
Royal Caribbeans got their own private little island, and so
(19:55):
we're on the island and we were telling them, like,
the last time we're on this island, all this wasn't here. Basically,
it was just some hammocks and some chickens running around,
and the chickens iguanas. And I knew I was on
vacation from my honeymoon, and I woke up in a
hammock and I looked down in a chicken is drinking
out of my rum punch. I was like, we are
(20:16):
so far from Kansas. I was living in Kansas at
the time. So and now they got all this stuff,
but they still had chickens, which, of course my kids
and my wife are like, look, chickens. And we saw
all these chickens and all this stuff. So we're walking
along this little trail and my wife sees a chicken
that is differently colored than the other chickens, and she
loudly points at it and yells, look, there's a black one,
(20:40):
and just beyond where this chicken is. Can you already
see where the story's going. Yeahs a black guy who's
just walking along the other side of the trail, who
can't see the chicken, who just sees my wife amazed
that she just look, look, there's a black one. And
he looks up and he's like, hey, got a way,
(21:02):
was like, hey, yeah, it's a I guess it's a
big deal for you guys in the Midwest. Come down
here and see this kind of thing. Take it all in.
Hear it. And my wife is like and I immediately
started laughing. And my wife's like, no, no, there's a
chicken and he's walking by. He's just like, man, there's
racist people on. I don't know if they're racist or
just ignorant or whatever. But she was really happy to
(21:24):
see me. And so that is now along with the
are there any dirty Mormons down there? Now we have
a new phrase in the family. Look, there's a black one.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
You have the sun his family.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Oh yeah, we have a very very fun family. All right.
So there's what I did on my summer vacation, which
this year was over the week of Thanksgiving. Fox News
update here in just a couple of minutes Scott Voice
Sheriff Aaron Hanson Douglas County had posted about how now
it's it's cold and this was the other day as
(22:01):
what is Yeah, He's like, hey, when you got hey
cold on, I means it might be slippery. You should
put a coat on, dad, and Sheriff Aaron Hanson says cold.
And as far as the homeless population in this community,
he'd said that here's what he said to be cold,
(22:22):
we got like zero on the windshill. Unless you are
personally camped in a tent in sub freezing tempts, which
Aaron Hanserson says I have, you likely have no true
comprehension about how precarious and perilous it is to do
so without the appropriate and expensive specialized gear. Nearly every
(22:43):
successful rehabilitation story starts at the front door of a shelter,
and he says we need to support shelters and to
the tent community, which he's not talking to people who
live in the tents. Many of them don't have a
place to charge their smartphones, so they probably didn't see
(23:03):
this post on Facebook. But he's talking about those who
stand up and say no, no, it's it's mean it's
inhumane to get people out of tent shelters or homelessness
around the community. So he says, look to those who
are living on the streets, utilize shelters. They're not perfect,
(23:25):
but they are much more safe. Help and healthier paths
do exist. Please avoid activities that result in you being
banned from shelters, like drug and alcohol use. At many
of these shelters, you can't be in there doing that stuff.
(23:46):
So this is his message. He's like, look, I know
that everyone was like, oh, it's it's mean, what are
we going to do criminalize homelessness and all that? So
now we got the Facebook comments and it's always something
with the activist crowd. And the one that I thought
was just stupid funny in it, like very darkly stupid
(24:11):
funny was this lady that said, well, I know personally
three people who are deaf who are living in a
tent out because the the the shelters kick them out
because they're deaf. They couldn't understand. They're like, hey, we're
(24:31):
trying to give you some instructions here and the people
are like I can't hear you, and they're like, I'm
not gonna deal with you. Being deaf. Get out, Get out.
Take your lack of hearing with you. You know, hey, you
see sign language. This is me pointing you and then
pointing at the door. You out, You understand that sign language.
Stupid deaf people go live on the streets, deaf people.
(24:53):
And so this lady is like, I know three deaf
people living on there. Like she's not going to open
up her house. She's like, personally know it's good good
friends of mine, three people who are deaf, who are
personally living on the streets because the shelters can't deal
with deaf people. And so Sheriff Hanson responds to her saying,
please let me know where they are. I will personally
(25:16):
and I'll take a sign language interpreter with me. I
will personally go to them and we will get them
into a shelter and make sure that this horrible thing
that never actually happened, this horrible thing would never happen again.
And so I was reading some of this and I
texted Sheriff Hanson yesterday. I said, as she get back
(25:38):
to you with the location of all those deaf people
living around Omaha on the streets, he said, not yet, Like, Okay,
I'm shocked. I am shocked. How shameless and ridiculous do
you have to be when you've got people out there
freezing to death in the streets and you're like, well,
you know, because they're all deaf and not at all,
(26:02):
because like some people are so blind to reason that
they probably also kicked blind people out of the shelters too.
By the way, and Tommy, he is way out of luck.
There's not even any pinball machines in there. There's your
nineteen seventies rock opera reference for this segment of the
radio program. Even Lucy can get that one.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Yeah, Tommy, I just watched that from the very beginning
to the end, maybe like three months ago. And I
just watched Blues Brothers all the way through fantastic first
time really yesterday. I have to admit one thing, though,
What's that Towards the end of the movie, I kept thinking,
(26:42):
how much longer is this on?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I really enjoyed it Blues Brothers, but well, that's part
of the humor of Blues Brothers is the you know,
that whole thing goes on comically long. It basically the
whole movie is akin to the scene of the Nazis
the car falling out of the sky Forever, which I
(27:06):
laugh harder at that now when I watch it than
anything else in the movie. Those Nazis sitting there in
the car that's just falling and falling and falling is
so funny to me and Tommy. Tina Turner's acid Queen
performance awesome, Oh yeah, so good.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Do you think Aretha Franklin in the Diner was kind
of sort of going off that same kind of an
idea I just saw there were a few similarities with
Blues Brothers to other movies.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Well, I mean it's it's basically, you know, hey, we
got to get the band back together. You know, it's
a road movie kind of a thing. But the thing
about Blues Brothers that makes it so great to me
is when Ackroyd was putting all this together, He's like, no,
we're gonna use these musicians, not actors, not comedians. We're
(27:58):
gonna use guys like Steve Cropper, and we're going to
use their luck.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Done.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Yeah, yeah, We're gonna use what's his name, No, Darryl
Duck Duck done. Yeah, that's right. We're gonna use these guys,
real musicians, and then we're gonna pull people like Aretha
Franklin and Ray Charles and Cap Callaway and now like
you look back and go over of course, yeah, James Brown,
We're gonna use you would look at this and go
of course they're legends. But in nineteen seventy eight, seventy nine,
(28:28):
when they started conceiving of this movie, these guys weren't legends.
They were has beens. Aretha Ray, I mean, it's.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
To think about it. But you weren't on the charts.
Disco was king blues music and soul R and B
singers from the sixties. This isn't funny and it's lame,
and why they had Ackroyd had to fight so hard
to say no, trust me on this. This is the
whole basis the movie is to get these artists out
(28:59):
of the dust bins in the back of the record store,
back out to prominence. And thank god he did, because
that was what made the soul pardon the pun of
the whole movie was to have those artists be a
part of it, which I love Blues Brothers, I love
the soundtrack of the movie. Lucy doesn't like it. Orange Whip,
(29:20):
Orange three, Orange whips. So it's great, this mall has
everything going back, going back. Oh yeah, deaf people being
kicked out of homeless shelter. It doesn't happen. And yet
there's some people that just like, but but what about if, like, Okay,
let me find some fanciful scenario that may or may
(29:42):
not exist and make the entire basis of my argument
on this one outlier, and not the fact that the activists,
including your city council, who's too spineless and sackless to
do anything about the situation. This your Omaha City Council
voted to let people live out there in the streets,
not allow law enforcement to do anything to help them. Now,
(30:05):
if you had someone ranting and raving at seventy second
in Dodge or you know, in a radio studio and
they're just ranting and raving and they're out there not
dressed for the elements and snowing on them an ice
and drizzle and it's dangerously cold, you would call the
police and go, hey, we have a problem here. But
if someone's like, I'm just living here on a bench
(30:26):
or in a tent that has been provided by one
of the activist groups around here, which are often paid
for through your tax dollars in various grants from some
people who just think it's mean for the cops to
be harassing people just because they're down on their luck
and not because they have drug and mental problems that
have yet to be looked at and treated. We just
(30:47):
let them live out in the streets and just die
out there. Someone was ranting at seventy second Dodge with
a gun, waving a gun around. You say that person
is a danger to himself and others, and you would
certainly want the police to do something about that. But
if you're just living out there in the streets, ready
to die out there and dangerously cold temperatures, well then
that's a situation where that person's gonna die. Except the
(31:08):
means of death is not a gun to the head.
It's dangerously cold, wind chills and temperatures which are only
gonna be here for the next four months. And you've
not given law enforcement the tools to do anything about this.
That and then you're gonna say, well, I know people
who are living on the streets who are deaf. No,
you don't, And even if you do, would you look
(31:30):
around and think, oh, all the problems of people living
on the burgeoning homeless problem in our community. There's just
too many deaf people who have no other means of
taking care of themselves, and they've been driven out to
the streets.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Don't you think it's more likely that they did something
else and also happen to be death.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I think it's more likely that this scenario this woman
put forth doesn't exist, or if it does, and she
really does know these people and sheriff hands and said,
let me know where they are. I can help them.
I will use the resources of my county Sheriff's department
to help them. And she's not going to do it.
Why I don't know. Why doesn't she invite them into
(32:13):
her own house? You know, it's it's ridiculous, all right,
So the same rant, slightly different, tune to it. It's
the story here today about the Nebraska homeschool Network that said, obviously,
during COVID and right after, we had a number of
families choosing to homeschool their kids. Great understand, but they say,
(32:34):
we're surprised that those numbers haven't come down in these
years since COVID schools have been back up. Why aren't
kids going back? In fact, there was an uptick from
like twenty twenty two to twenty twenty four of like
three thousand kids. More kids are going into homeschooling. Why
is that? Could it be that?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
This?
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Could it be? Yes, it could be all of those
things and some sort of health or wellness issue with
your kids. Sure it could. But you know what the
biggest reason is because these public schools suck so Omaha, Lincoln,
These public schools suck, and we pay for so much
(33:16):
we see no results. Again, I'm talking about the schools,
not the Nebraska football team. And you got teachers in there.
Some of them are fantastic, most of them are awful,
and they let the kids get away with bloody murder threats, violence,
vaping in the bathrooms. Kids don't feel safe there. Kids
are getting beat up, and then the schools go, well,
(33:36):
we can move your kid the one who got beat
up into a different classroom, like or you could deal
with the person who's doing the violence, and you could
do I mean, we don't want to do that. He's scary.
You know. This is the reason, because you get your
kids get home from school and you're like, what you
learned today? I don't know. I watched TV all day
I just they said, you guys got free time. I
just watched a movie on my iPad all day. This
(33:59):
is why so many people are homeschooling their kids. It's
also cyber Monday, Lucy. This is the day when people
would normally be at work, busily working furthering the interests
of the company and the corporation, the movement, or whatever
it is they're doing, but instead they're just screwing around
(34:22):
on their phones or their computers, shopping and looking at
deals online. So we call this once in a year
thing where that kind of thing happens. You're fluent in sarcasm, right, Yeah,
we call it cyber Monday. I thought Black Friday was
cyber Friday because there's no more Black Friday.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Well, apparently the mall west Roads is pretty busy.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
West Roads is usually pretty busy, though on a weekend
and without school going on. I'm not surprised that West
Ros was busy, which is good to see. Yes, I'm
sure you could probably swing a cat through Oakview and
go from air section of the mall to a section
of the mall and not hit anybody, probably because they're
backing away because you're swinging a cat. But man, what
(35:11):
a huge difference in my life growing up here in Omaha.
Oh yeah, because west Roads was the place to be
and then Oakview opened, and then Oakview was the place
to be, and it was like west Roads was still
all right, but Oakview was the place and you only
(35:31):
go to Crossroads if you were joining a gang. So
I mean it was I mean, this is how it
was in the nineties and now Oakview. I bet that
if you were asked the kids at the west Roads
on Friday, do you know where the Oakview Mall is?
They're like, is it in Kansas City? They probably don't
(35:52):
even know. They probably not even heard of it.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
There's still some stores there.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
I know there's stores there. I go in there once
in a while because I'm used to it, Like, oh
I got to run over to Dillard's.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
That's where I go.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Yeah, or the Buckle. I go over to Oakview because
I don't like crowds.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Still Buckle, I think there is.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
There was the last time I was there, right, So
that's it's weird. But it's also weird that probably all
the teenagers, even early twenty somethings, they were at the
mall on Friday, they they don't know what Black Friday
used to be, even just like a decade ago. They
(36:37):
don't know. They don't know. It was families getting together
for Thanksgiving, not just to put gravy on various meats
and bread items, but also to plan a strategy where
if they had to, they would kill somebody to get
through the door. First thing when the doors opened, Holy
(37:00):
crown a clock in the middle of the night, so
they could rush in there stab people. Uh, and and
try and save like five bucks on a toaster.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
You're making sound way more than it really was, as they.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Don't even need. It was great. You could It was
like a legal way to just stampede people. You could
trample people saying. You would hear women going in there
going just save yourself, Martha, don't worry about me. I
hope you get that dress you wanted. Uh, they're just
getting trampled by herds of shoppers. And it was it
(37:37):
was fun. You could go in there, bloody some ladies,
I because you were elbowing her trying to get some
doll that your kid doesn't even want and won't play with.
I mean, it was it was bonkers. And and then
finally the police were like, all right, are we how
long are we going to let this go on? People
(37:58):
are camping out, they're spending Thanksgiving, not with their families,
enjoying a meal in a football game, but they're sleeping
on sidewalks so they can try and be the first
one through the door when we open it at six
o'clock in the morning or whatever we'd six in the
moon or whatever it is that we do. And it's
and it's violent. People are getting shot. It's crazy. And
(38:20):
then but the people should have told law enforcement and
all the powers that be and say, yes, we know
it's dangerous. We like it. That's that's why we do this,
is that element of danger because getting saving thirty five
percent on a TV that I don't need should be
(38:46):
you have some effort to go through it. I mean
that was for those people, for those shoppers, that was
their war. Like the way that God from Vietnam get
together and they talk, or sometimes they don't have to talk.
They just give each other knowing looks like oh they're like,
(39:08):
oh you sir, I serve too. Where were you I
was over here? Oh man, I know about that. And
you just give a look and that's all you got
to say. We've got women now in their late thirties,
early forties, maybe even into their fifties, who did this
when they were in their twenties and early thirties, who
just give each other knowing looks at Thanksgiving, like they
(39:32):
get a you know, their brother gets married again and
he's got a new wife who's about your age, and
you're like, where did you serve on Black Friday? I
was at the West Roads. What year twenty eleven? Oh, man,
that was a rough year for Black Friday. Still got
(39:54):
the scars, man, Not all of them are visible. I
still remember what I had to do that day.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
I had.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
To punch out a woman three times my age to
get something. I don't remember what it was. I just
saw it was on sale. It was great savings. I
think it was some little pod that had its own
lights on it, and you buy these other little pods
and you put the seed pods into the lighting thing
and you could like grow cilantro right there in your kitchen.
(40:24):
I bought that thing because it was on sale. Never
used it. I'm not sure where it is, but I
know I had to kill people to get it. Yeah,
I got scars. I saw some stuff, man, some things,
that's all gone now. It's like I was at work
and I took a few minutes there, and I clicked
a couple of things here, and I tapped out on
(40:46):
my phone and I saved a few bucks on something
that's been mailed to me. Like everything else I buy
throughout the entire year, it's just it's not fun anymore.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Well, people aren't fun anymore.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
People aren't fun anymore. What happened to us? Why do
we Why did we let it be to where you
camping out to get tickets for your favorite musician? Was awesome?
Was it smart? Was it safe? No? It was just awesome.
And then they put the part where you go to
the concert and it was all general admission, and they're like,
(41:22):
all right, we're opening up the gates and now you're
elbowing people like I gotta be front and center to
see Huey Lewis in the news. It's not like they're
still gonna be touring into the twenty twenties or anything.
I gotta see him now. They don't tour as much
as they used to.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
But well he doesn't tour at all.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
Uh yeah, I think he's taken a few years off.
But when we had him on the show a few
years ago. Hueiye, yeah, he said, I know, he's got
his good days and his bad days. Problem is, you
can't have a bad day when you're suddenly in the
middle of walking on a thin line and you can't
hear your balance is off. He's got that. You know,
it's tear. You still got the sports album. They can't
(42:04):
take that away from us. But they took being first
in line to get your tickets. They took Black Friday away. Uh,
the Huskers being in the National Championship picture after Thanksgiving,
it took that. They took it all away from us.
It's all gone.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
I blame chem trails. They they took on.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Yeah, they took the debate away from us, like when
you're when you're sitting there on going who won the
Heisman Trophy in ninet eighty five? Bo Jackson? No, I
don't think so. Yeah, it was Bo Jackson to Auburn.
I don't think so. I think it was Vinny Testaverdi. No,
that was that was the following year. Bo Jackson won
(42:48):
the Heisman Trophy in eighty five. Are you sure sure
it wasn't Doug Flutie. No, Bo Jackson. Now, before that
conversation would go on for an hour. Now you just
get your phone and go, you go. Who won the
Heisman Trophy in nineteen eighty five? It says, it was.
(43:09):
This is perfect, This is so perfect. Now you can
debate against AI. What do you know what it told me?
You know who it told me? Won the Heisman Trophy
in nineteen eighty five, Andrew Jackson? What yes?
Speaker 2 (43:26):
Ask again? Maybe they didn't.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
Maybe your voice said it said no. It said Andrew Jackson.
He had a great performance for Auburn that year and
narrowly beat Chuck long for to win the nine eighty
five Heisman Trophy. President Andrew Jackson. That's right. He led
the Americans in the War of eighteen twelve and also
rushed for one eight hundred and seventy six yards for
Auburn that year and picked up the Heisman Trophy. That's AI.
(43:53):
I swear to you, that's what it just told me.
All right, I'll ask again, who won the Heisman Trophy
in nineteen eight eight five? Andrew Jackson for his performance
in nineteen eighty five. Now, now it's still listening to me.
I can't read the synopsis, but it basically puts in
bo Jackson's stats as being Andrew Jackson Andrew Jackson.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
Well, well, now in a minute, is Bo Jackson? Is Bo?
His real name?
Speaker 1 (44:23):
Vincent is his real name, So it's not even Andrew,
and it even it has a picture of you know,
the eighteen hundred's Andrew Jackson. Yeah, and that, yeah, and
it went on to play for the Los Angeles Raiders
and until a hit pointer ruined his career in that
play with the page until that playoff game against the
(44:44):
Cincinnati Bengals and that. But they said, well that's too bad,
we'll put your picture on money.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
