It's all about safety today, whether it has to do with 9/11, the border, schools, Bon Jovi, that fancy new bypass in Blair no one is using, or knowing whether you've just started an IG Live session before engaging in "off-field incidents."

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vordez.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
The genesis of my being upset was actually listening to
the Emery Songer Show. Not for anything, not It wasn't
Emory's fault. I was listening to Emery here. And Emory
Songer has been a part of our team now for
just over a year afternoons two to six on news
radio eleven ten KFAB, and Emory Songer has he already
(00:28):
upsets me a little bit because, as my boss told
me about a year ago, as Emory was on the
radio and making a bunch of you know, snide comments
for a young guy. He's the youngest member of our
on air staff here on eleven ten KFAB and he's
a young punk and all that and see and that
(00:49):
used to be me and it's not anymore. And my
boss told me, like, yep, you're a has been your
old news So I guess I already have a little
bit of an edge. So I was listening to Emory
and he did a fantastic job yesterday talking about the debate,
talking about nine to eleven and also you could score
(01:12):
a bunch of money bagging groceries at high V where
he was broadcasting live from the Super High V in Gretna.
Fantastic job. But what was he talking about? What did
he say that got me so mad? As I mentioned,
Emory is the young punk on this radio station. He's
in his early thirties. He's actually older than I was
(01:36):
when I started here, and as such, he's subject to
all the same stuff that you guys used to say
about me. Oh he's too young. He didn't know what
he's talking about. People used to say that about me.
I'd get so mad and go, what do you mean,
I'm too young? I don't know what I'm talking about.
My age has nothing to do with it. The fact
(01:56):
that I don't know what I'm talking about has everything
to do with it. That's just a perspective of age.
But Emory's age perspective yesterday, because he's I'd ask him
how old he is, but he's across the hall doing
something thirty two or thirty three, which means he was
nine or ten twenty three years ago when September eleventh
(02:20):
and those events unfolded in our lives. I think he
said he was in third grade, so nine or ten
years old, and they were watching some of it on TV,
and I just started thinking about everything that he's grown
up with and everyone younger than him who barely remembers
(02:42):
or dozen or wasn't even born when nine to eleven happened.
And so now we've got this whole generation that's just
grown up saying, well, these are the things we have
to do for your safety, for America's safety, and most
of us we just do it because we've been doing
it now for twenty three years. And you know whatever,
(03:05):
Like I wear sketchers most of the time. If I'm traveling,
come on and off, no tying of the shoelaces. I
take my shoes off, and I gotta make sure any
liquids or gels or certain measuring amounts, and then the
little baggies and in a transparent bag, and I gotta
put that bag separately over here. Take your laptops out.
(03:26):
Take your laptops out of the back that you got
to do all this stuff, sir. You got a belt on? Yeah,
I have a belt on. Still one of these weirdos
that wears a belt. Tuck my shirt in once in
a while. Yep, I'm going on a golf trip. I
got a belt on, you know, So you gotta do this,
you know, hey, we gotta search your bag come over here,
and all this stuff. And it's not that I'm necessarily
(03:52):
mad about any or all of that. It's that here
we are, after twenty three years, we're conditioned, we have complied,
we are conditioned to do all of that because it's
for our safety and it's for our own good. And
I don't know that any of the measures are necessarily
(04:13):
bad or anything. But then I started thinking about a
few other things, like our border. I have to go
to the airport and take my shoes off. But our
borders are an absolute free for all, and no one
seems to want to really do anything about I mean,
(04:34):
there's some who certainly want to do something about it,
but this is dependent upon the American people to determine
who's going to be in charge of this or that,
and who's going to be able to do whatever, and
what states are going to go along with it, and
what are we going to do? Our borders are a
free for all, and our schools and yes, what's happening
(04:55):
with juvenile justice in our community an absolute shinola show.
I gotta make sure that my hair jail. You think
I'm gonna go on a vacation and have my hair
out of place. Come on, I gotta take my hair jail. Now,
(05:18):
my hair gel. I got the industrial sized tube of
hair gel. I can't take that on a plane. What
am I gonna do? I'm gonna redo the pilot's hair
so it's matted down in his face. And I got
enough hair jail there, and it's down in his face
and he can't see where he's going, and we crash
into the moon. Gotta make sure that some of that
(05:38):
has squeezed out into a smaller tubear. I gotta have another.
I gotta spend money and get another smaller thing of
hair jail. Meanwhile, terrorist after terrorist after dog eating terrorist
is streaming across our border, willingly put into communities across
our country. Bust there, take a plane. Where do you
(05:58):
want to be? Here's a lug hotel you can stay here.
Here's an apartment complex, you can stay here. We got
gangs taking over apartment complexes, and not in our big
cities like New York and Los Angeles, in small places
like Aurora, Colorado, and Springfield, Ohio, and as far as
our schools go. Fourteen year old kid, his mom said, well,
(06:22):
he was bullied. I got news for you. I don't
know about this allegation of bullying. And I'm not saying, hey,
bullying's fine, get over it. I can say that shooting
a guy and a guy fifteen year old sophomore at
the school, whether or not you know he called you
(06:46):
a name or whatever, you don't take a gun into
the school and shoot a guy. And then we have
a fourteen year old who brought a gun into the
school discharged it into a classmate, and they go back.
This story here from the Omaha World. Herold talks to
(07:07):
one of the spokespeople for the Omaha Public schools and
they said, do you feel like your security measures in
schools are sufficient? Do you want to do metal detectors?
They said, no, we think we have sufficient security plans.
What happens is is that we got some kids who
are marked as being on a safety plan for their
(07:28):
own safety and anyone else's, And so when they come
into school, they have to check in and we put
a wand over them like a little metal detector wand
we have the ones. We don't do it to everybody.
We've got hundreds and hundreds of kids, sometimes thousands of
kids streaming through the doors, all at the same time.
We got to get them through here. We're not going
to do any this, but some of these kids are
(07:49):
on a safety plan and we will put the wand
over there and to make sure they didn't bring a
weapon into school. All right, What about this fourteen year
old kid at Northwest who brought a gun in and
shot a kid? Was he on a safety plan? And
the school said, Ah, we don't know. I don't know
(08:11):
if he was on a plan. I don't know if
he was searched with a wand yes you do. You
just don't want to tell us. You don't want to
tell us you can easily check this out. You didn't
check this out. You didn't anticipate this might be a question.
It wasn't like, oh, let me make a quick phone
call check. That's an important thing because as parents send
our kids into our schools, Omaha public schools get named
(08:34):
a lot because they're the biggest. This could be any
school district around here. As we send our kid into
these schools, we want to know how's the safety plan
working out. You said that this kid might be a danger.
First of all, why is he still in science class
next to my daughter? Secondly, are you actually following through
with your plan that you check him for a weapon
(08:57):
when he comes in here. Again, I don't know that
a kid who needs to be daily checked for a
weapon needs to be in school next to my kid.
But if so, are we doing it or are we
falling back into the same thing that happens in public
schools all the time, where we don't get certain kids
in trouble because we don't want it too many kids
based on the color of their skin to be on
(09:18):
safety plans or individualize education plans or whatever, or mark
for detention or expulsion or suspension or whatever, because we
don't want too many black kids getting in trouble in
our schools because it makes the whole school district look bad.
So instead, we're maybe gonna do some of this, and
maybe we're not. It's not going to be based on
the actions of the individual. We are going to base
(09:40):
this on the color of one's skin. And if someone
gets in too much trouble here at this school, we'll
just move them all to a different school and they
can go over there and be someone else's problem. Of course,
you gotta make a trade, got to bring in another
problem kid from that school into this school. The problem
has not been resolved. It's just been moved around a
little bit, and the schools have said, we don't like
(10:03):
that so many kids of a certain demographic are getting
in so much trouble. So do you really think that
when they say something like that, that they're really going
to do anything about the individualized And you can ask
him say, well, if this is the problem, tell me
that's the macro problem. I agree, it's a problem and
it's worth looking into for everyone's h shared curiosity, safety benefit, whatever.
(10:29):
But where's the micro where's the kid who was marked
for expulsion? Who's the one who did something like there
really wasn't all that bad and got expelled just because
he's black. You know, you start looking at the micro
and you can't find examples of that. So we got
this kid, I don't know if he was on a
(10:51):
safe Yes you do. You don't want to tell us,
you don't want to admit to us. Yeah, we got
kids on plans that we don't really actually do the
plan with. But please feel free to send your kids
into our schools and make sure when you go to
the airport that you take your laptop out of your bag,
make sure you got your belt off you to take
(11:12):
your shoes off, take your belt off, and you're going
through security as hey, we all remember nine to eleven. Meanwhile,
we're letting the next round of terrorists right through our border,
and we're just moving domestic terrorists from school to school.
If we put them on some sort of plan, maybe
we follow it, maybe we don't. And I was just
getting thinking about all of this stuff and thinking how
(11:35):
it's so sad that those who are about thirty five
years of age and younger, they don't know a time
when all of this I just mentioned wasn't commonplace and
happening on a daily basis. And then you have to wonder,
are we doing all this stuff still because it's for
(11:57):
our safety or they just wanted to see if we
would complain. That's it. There's the there's that rant kind
of I have a few other things to throw on
top of that horrible cake I just made, including here's
a bright spot. You had some admission of personal responsibility
(12:20):
by a high profiled individual we talked about this week.
We'll get to that next.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Scott Voices News Radio eleven Tenfaby.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Talked the other day about Tyreek Hill the Miami Dolphins.
This is the Star Wide receiver who got pulled over
for speeding, and the officer says, all right, you gotta
roll down your window, your heavily tinted window, so we
can talk to you and make sure you're not doing
anything in there. We don't know who you are what
you're doing in there, And the and the dolphin Tyreek
(12:54):
Hill said don't knock on my window. And then when
they said roll it up, he said, don't tell me
what to do. So they pulled him out of the
car and handcuffed him. Afterwards, he made it to the
game on time and talked about it and said, like
these officers, this is just what happens being black in America.
He said that very loudly during the traffic stop and
(13:16):
said the officers need to be fired. And he didn't
do anything wrong because his mom didn't raise him to
be disrespectful. Well, maybe he forgot that. He told the officer,
don't tell me what to do, because now he's watched
the bodycam footage of the officers, and to his credit,
(13:37):
he said, quote, I will say I could have been better.
I could have let my window down in that instance unquote,
A shocking admission of self reflection and responsibility on the
part of Tyreek Hill. Now, he quickly followed it up
with that officer though he's got to go, man, he said.
(14:01):
He said, yeah, I could. I wish I could go
back and redo the decision not to row my window down.
Buddy said that my refusal to put my window down
does not give officers the right to quote literally beat
the dog out of me unquote. You can see in
the bodycam footage what happens. Three officers pull him out
(14:24):
and scored him to the ground, and they handcuff him.
No one beat him, no one kicked him, no one
punched him. I'm sure it didn't feel great being taken
to the ground and have handcuffs put on you, but
they didn't quote beat the dog out of you. So
(14:45):
he says, yeah, I should have done that a little differently.
But he says, if I do the same thing, then
that doesn't give them the right to do with they did.
What are they supposed to do? What exactly would you
prefer officers do when they pull anyone over. They don't
know who they are, they don't know what they're doing.
(15:05):
They're not complying with officers commands. What are they supposed
to do. They don't know if you're in there as
some drug dealing, mass murderer, pet eating, you know, terrorists.
They don't have any idea. So if you're not going
to roll your window down and comply with the officers,
(15:25):
what are they supposed to do? Like, he won't roll
his window down, Well, I guess we'll just have to
let him go. All right, we'll get you next time. Yeah,
word to everyone here speeding up and down the streets
of Omaha, Nebraska, every single night at ten thirty. Apparently,
if the if the officers pull you over and you
(15:45):
don't want to have to deal with a ticket or
anything like that, just don't roll your window down, because
Tyreek Hill says, if you don't roll your window down
or step out of the car when they ask you to,
then apparently they just need to let you go. So
he did give some level of self responsibility here self
(16:06):
reflection in a positive way. Yeah, I could have done
that better, but still they didn't give them the right
to do with they What are they supposed to do?
I guess they're just supposed to say, well, shoot, we
want to arrest this guy, or at least give him
a ticket, but he won't roll his window down. We're
powerless against his power windows. But hey, it's a start.
(16:30):
Fox News Update next Scott Boyes, Well, well, well there's
Lucy Chapman. Lucy, you missed the first half of this program.
Let me bring you up to speed here. All right, Well,
well it's missed, coming goes you done?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Well?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Please, it's just decided to know you were very busy
doing very important things which could be compared to hanging
out in this show. Literally anything. It's much more important
than what I'm doing. Do you want to know what
you mean missed?
Speaker 3 (17:00):
I do well. I was thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
How do I boil down a half an hour into
thirty seconds? I use the confluence of events dealing with
our poorest southern border, horrible juvenile justice system, and school
issues we have here, and the confluence of all that
with nine to eleven and said, you know, it's really
sad that I still have to go to the airport
and put my hair jail on this little aty bitty
(17:26):
see through container. Meanwhile, terrorists are coming through our southern
border and our schools are like, hey, this kid just
came in here with a gun. Was he on some
sort of safety plan. Did you check him out? We
don't know, Yes, you do. You don't want to tell us,
you know. Meanwhile, I got to take my shoes and
belt off when I go to the airport. But our
borders and schools absolute free for all, you know. But hey,
(17:50):
they told us what to do with the airport and
we complied. And maybe that's what was all about, because
when it comes to some of these other safety issues,
we apparently don't care. And then I talked about Hill
and so here are some of the emails that came
in there. Scott at kfab dot com, Zonker's custom woods inbox,
David says, and now four of the female officers at
that Miami precinct where Tyreek Hill was are pregnant. You
(18:14):
can't let that guy get close to any women. I
can't verify that, David, Thank you for the email, Doug says.
Regarding schools, when you cut through all the bs, what
the school can't tell you is they can't do anything
because we've neutered. We've neutered any form of real punishment
that might work. It's either we do nothing or we
(18:35):
do some costly, worthless programs or courts that never work.
How about some good old fashioned spanking, push ups, laps, banging, erasers, whatever.
We've given up on things that worked and replaced it
with feel good process that sounds great but has zero results.
Because we think we can reason and talk children into compliance,
(18:56):
they see those people as weak and easy to manipulate.
That is from Doug sent to Scott at kfab dot com.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
You really think any of this can be fixed?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I I think you're talking about Wait, wait, wait, wait
before you before you say this, let me respond by saying,
if you look at the I like to look at
macro versus micro. If you look at the macro, how
are we going to stop any of this from ever happening?
It seems so impossible that you think, well, there's nothing
(19:31):
we can do. If you look at the micro, how
can I keep my kid from taking a gun to school? Well,
suddenly that's something we should be able to do something about.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Oh, here's the part of the show where Lucy says
she's glad she doesn't have kids.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah, I hear you on that one. But if you
look at that situation, then it seems a little more
plausible that something could be done here, Like this mom
in Georgia. She it seems to say, and I can't
even imagine. Another thing I like to do on the
(20:06):
show is put on other people's shoes. If I try
and put on her ugs, I can't even imagine what
it must be like to be her. Her son just
went into school and shot several people, killed four, including
two classmates and then two teachers. I can't imagine what
she's going through. But she started talking about the guns,
(20:29):
and she talked to ABC News and said, well, I
knew my husband had numerous guns, but I didn't know
that one, the one that was used in the shooting,
was a specific Christmas present. It wasn't until after the
shooting that I knew it specifically was his gun, and
I was shocked. Okay, what does that have to do
(20:54):
with anything. Well, I know that my husband's got a
lot of guns, but I didn't know that that one
was a Christmas present. Oh maybe it was a Christmas
present to a kid who's fourteen years old. Isn't old
enough to own this gun. This is your house, right,
This is Christmas for you. This isn't your estranged husband, right,
this is you're You're all in the same. Am I wrong?
(21:15):
Are they not in the same house. And and then
she said, she said, well, like, if I could talk
to my son right now. First of all, uh one
of my am I forgetting. I'm apparently forgetting. Was that
kid arrested or was he shot and killed? Uh?
Speaker 3 (21:37):
No, the one the most recent.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Yeah, Georgia, Yeah, yeah he was, he was. He was arrested, right, Okay,
So she says, if I could talk.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
To my family being held, yes, the dad is the
dad is, yes, he's a lot.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
He says, if I could talk to my son, I
would tell him I love him, and it's not your fault.
And it's noted here. She didn't say who she puts
the blame on. I'm not putting the blame on her.
She's going through enough. She didn't need some fat head
in radio in Omaha to say anything. But what are
(22:08):
you talking about.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
If she's implying that it's not his fault because he
doesn't have a good grasp of reality as far as
being an adult and being able to make a decision
like that, then then and she's and she is aware
of it, well, then the father should have been aware
of it too, and he should never have had a gun.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I just got a note here from a friend who
said that they are divorced. Well, she's referring to him
as my husband. I knew my husband had numerous guns.
I that does change the picture for me a little bit.
But you should be able to like. I have a
fourteen year old son. He's, as we've noted several times
(22:49):
on this radio, shown absolute blithering idiot, just like his dad.
I could have several loaded guns around the house, and
I trust him not to take any one of them
to school and start indiscriminately or even discriminately shooting anyone. Now,
I don't do that. My wife doesn't like anyone leaving
(23:13):
anything around the house. She hates it with my son.
Here's my dumb son. I don't probably lemonade was in
a cup that was and there was still some lemonade
in the cup, and he left it downstairs, and my
wife and I go downstairs to watch the new night
Shyamalan movie The Watchers. I thought it was am but
it's his daughter, I night Shyamalan and the movie The Watchers.
(23:37):
It's okay. It's like watching a pretty good episode of
The X Files. And that's what we were in the
mood for so it was all good. But before we
could watch the movie last night, my wife noticed, Oh,
I see that our son has left things like that.
And she picks up this cup. It's full of mold,
which means it's been down there for several days. So
we gotta say. She starts cleaning up. I said, don't
(23:58):
clean that up for him. Kid down here, I'm telling
them to get down here. Here's how you clean this up.
Here's why I'm telling you to lead. Don't leave the
stuff laying around. That's gross, dumb son, you know. So
my wife doesn't like anything laying around. It might get mold,
whether it's glasses or guns or whatever. But I should
(24:21):
be able to leave things laying around and know that
the kid that I've had some bearing and raising isn't
gonna take a gun to school and shoot people. So
to say, like, well, it's not your fault. I know
my husband had a lot of guns. I'm not saying
that's a brilliant move in this instance, but that shouldn't
(24:43):
be the issue. So, yeah, do you look at the
issue of how are we going to solve all this
stuff from happening? It gets really hard when you look
at all of it. If you look at just what's
going on with your kid. This is stuff we can
do and we don't because his parents were like, oh
it's hard. Does that answer your question?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Well, in the short term, sure, do we know anything
about this kid's medical situation? Was he being treated for
anna or with antidepressants or was he.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
A great question. I would not be surprised to learn
he was. He is described here by mom as quote
not a monster, which if I'm one of the family
members of the four people he killed, that's probably about
the last thing I want to hear he says, my
(25:40):
son is not a monster. He's my oldest baby. I
would just be throwing up. He is quiet, thoughtful, caring, funny,
and extremely intelligent. Until please pray for him and the
rest of my family, as I'm praying for all of
you every moment of every day. Yeah, so he.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Is all those I don't. And my question is, how
does how do you get from what she described? Is
she delusional? Or how do you get from when he
is all the things she described to where he was
that day.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I'm inclined her to give her the grace that she
is out of her mind right now based on what
her son just did.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I don't have kids. I don't know how I would
feel about you don't.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Now here's the part of the show where Lucy says
she's glad she doesn't have kids.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
And then I got this email from Kevin that Scott,
I don't know if you caught any of the MTV
Video Music Awards last night. Oh you know what? Darned
I missed it.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Remember when they were good.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I did check today because it said click here to
find out who won the video and I was like,
all right, because I wanted to click and see who
they gave the Video Vanguard Award to. That's the Little
moon Man Award given to someone who uh the body
of work over several decades as such that they get
kind of a lifetime achievement award. And I thought, maybe
(27:07):
that's someone of my vintage. Yeah, yeah, is going exactly
where you think it's going. Maybe it's like, hey, we've
given the Video Vanguard Award to the Eurythmics. Annie Lennox
and Dave Stewart are back here together out it wouldn't
that be nice? No?
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Who was it?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Katie Perry?
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Well, maybe they know something we don't.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Maybe the lifetime the lifetime Achievement Award is for someone
who I still even though she's been doing this for
like twenty years, I still think of her as a
brand new artist, and I don't care A couple of
her songs are right, we use one of them as
rejoin music on this program.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
But yeah, did she like it?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah? I kissed a girl got the Video van Guard Award,
and I liked it. So, Kevin says, I don't know
if you caught any of the I don't know what
channel MTV is. Are they showing. Are they showing old
school like reruns of Yo MTV raps? Because I'll watch
all of that. Give me some Doctor Dre and Fab
(28:14):
five Freddy and Ed Lover your hosts of Yo MTV raps.
I will watch that all the time. Head Banger's Ball
not so much, but maybe maybe more now than I
wasn't interested then. But I do like some of that
music more now than I did.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
That what they used to call it Storytellers? Was that
the acoustic show they did.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
That's on VH one Storytellers? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I love the old VH one Storytellers. Now you're thinking
of MTV Unplugged, Yes, yeah, that's the acoustic thing, fantastic stuff, fantastic,
the Nirvana MTV Unplugged legendary. Anyway, let's finish the rest
(28:57):
of Kevin's email, Scott, I don't know if you caught
any of the MTV Video Music Awards last night. I
didn't old. Taylor Swift, who just yesterday endorsed Kamala Harris,
made sure to mention that today nine to eleven was
weighing heavy on my heart and that today Patriot Day
was more important than any award, which is awesome. But
(29:18):
Kevin says, was she even alive? Then? Yes, Taylor Swift
is thirty four years old. As the rest of us
get older, so does Taylor Swift. You is sure thirty
four years old? Here's the other Taylor Swift number eighteen
and three hundred and thirty thousand, because this guy emailed
and said she mentioned nine to eleven. Was she even
(29:39):
alive then? Yes, she's thirty four, but her fans have
gotten older. Too many of them are of age to vote.
And since she said I'm endorsing Kamala Harris, here's a
link to vote. To register to vote, three hundred and
thirty thousand people clicked on the link, Did they all
register or they all of aged? Don't know, but that's
how many people were inspired to potentially vote for whoever.
(30:02):
Maybe they're going to vote for Kamala. Maybe not, but
probably Kamala. Three hundred and thirty thousand people clicked on
the link. I don't know how many people got registered
of the specific As of yesterday afternoon, three hundred and
thirty seven, eight hundred and twenty six people clicked on
the link. Maybe a lot of people clicked on it
(30:24):
hoping that it was an accidental Instagram live feed of
her in an intimate movement with Shannon Sharp. Does that comment?
Based on the look on Lucy's face, I should probably
take a little side trip down this story.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Do you want to though?
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Oh yeah, okay, because he's laughing about it all right,
He's like, well, sorry, here's what happened. Shannon Sharp super
Bowl champion Dallas or Dallas Denver, Broncos. He's now Pro
Football Hall of Famer fifty six years old, does stuff
(31:03):
on ESPN, and apparently had his Instagram story, which is
like a live feed like a Facebook live thing, started
streaming to his three point two million followers. A you
(31:25):
couldn't see any video, but the audio was a couple
of people talking for a while, and then they were
doing more than talking, and it was either based on
the sounds that were coming from this couple, they were
either in flagrante delicto or they were working out or
(31:47):
playing tennis. So and he just threw his phone on
the bed, threw her on the bed, and they were
probably working out. I don't know. So then the first
thing he said was I was hacked. And then once
(32:08):
he realized like no one's believing that, as she's shouting
his name during the act, eh, then he just says.
What he says now is I threw my phone on
the bed. I engaged in an activity. I've never turned
Instagram live on. I don't know how it works. So
(32:32):
he said it wasn't a prank. It was quote, me
being a healthy, active male unquote. So he's owning up
to it. His buddies are laughing at him. He's taking
his lumps with a smile on his face, just like
what you know. And the nice thing about this, what
seems to be the nice thing about this. I don't
think he's married, and the person he was with is
(32:53):
not his wife. I don't know that he's married or
not it, but that component isn't part of the so
there's not like a it's hey, whoops.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Well why did he even try to deny it if
there wasn't some kind of an element to that?
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Well, because he the first thing he probably got was
text messages. You know, later he's checking his phone and
text messages from his buddy's going, dude, your Instagram page
is this? He's like, I didn't do this, so I
must have been hacked.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Oh as if it wasn't him, right, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Right right, that's what probably happened until he realized, oh shoot,
so whoops, thinking of I'm thinking, if you're not recording this,
are you? No? Never? Never? There's your eighties movie reference
(33:51):
for this segment of the radio program Ghostbusters. Fletch.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Yes, I need to add fletch to my.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Always a good idea using the whole fist there, Doc
just breathes and breatheings b A ba arts too. Yeah,
but not right together, that's what I Sorry? Where was
I quoting fletch Shannon Sharp Instagram? Uh? Taylor Swift? Oh
that's right. She posted the the link and people were
probably hoping it was her in a compromising video with
(34:25):
Shannon Sharp. So that's what I was. So she did that. Meanwhile,
another music superstar did something else while filming a music
video on a bridge in downtown Nashville on Tuesday. They
go over to the Seagan Thaler or Seagan Thaler Pedestrian
(34:48):
Bridge in Nashville and bon Jovi is out there. John
bon Jovi is filming a video for his song The
People's House, and they're get to film on this bridge
and they're like, all right, we're trying to you know,
clear people in the background all that, and there's a woman.
(35:13):
Except she wasn't just there in the background. She was
there on the other side of the railing, standing on
the ledge of the bridge spanning the Cumberland River. So
they're looking at this, going is this woman threatening to jump?
Does she really hate bon Jovi music that much? So
(35:38):
bon Jovi just walked over to her. Now, imagine being
this woman whatever it was, whatever it was that was
happening or not happening in her life that she was,
whether it's and I don't mean to be glib about this,
(35:59):
whether it was the cry for help or whether she
was really going to do it, whatever, there's really no
big difference between the two. You're thinking, I'm about to
do this, I'm going to jump into the river here,
and then you look over your shoulder and here comes
(36:21):
bon Jovi. God sends us angels, doesn't he? Sometimes that
angel is bon Jovi?
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Easy on the eyes?
Speaker 2 (36:34):
So bon Jovi comes over and talks to her. What
is he quoting lyrics?
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Getting your registered to vote?
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Right, I'll be there for you. Oh, that'd be a
good bon Jovi's to play here. You look, you don't
want to go out in a blaze of glory. We're
all just living on a prayer.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
And maybe someone's told you that you give love a
bad name, but don't.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
You're terrible at this. Don't ever be a negotiator.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Off the top of my head, don't let life run
away with you. Run away bon Jovi's song.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
She's a Little Runaway. I'm impressed. Okay, that's a that's
the very first song release you've got.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
I know you've got to realize it's my life. It's
now or never, and we want you to live that life.
So lay your hands on me, come back on this
side of.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
The bridge, and you don't have to live on the docks.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
And never say goodbye. I think that's exhausting. My knowledge
of bon Jovi's song titles. How many did I get
in there? Eight?
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Well? Did you? Did you not reference? I don't know
what's on? Is Johnny used to live on the docks?
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Yeah, I said, living on a prayer? That's living on
a prayer, is it? Yeah? Johnny used to work on
the docks. Union's non strike down on this lucket stuff.
So tough, Gina, dreams are running away, She cries in
the night. Tommy whispers, baby, it's okay. We got to
hold onto what we got and living or on. Whoa,
We're halfway there?
Speaker 3 (38:12):
Whoa lit up there? There is something wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (38:18):
And Richie Sambora showed up. Oh I could have done
one of dead or alive, but that would be yeah,
that's probably wrong. I was pretty proud of lay your
hands on me and come back to the So anyway,
bon Jovi talks this woman out of jumping off of
the bridge. Her life has been saved. You gotta watch
(38:43):
out on that bridge. It's slippery. When wet Scott Boy
speaking of saving a guy, and I haven't forgotten about
that traffic story. I'm gonna bring up. Do you hear
the governor of New Hampshire saved a guy the other day?
Speaker 3 (38:57):
No?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Yeah, well bon Jovi's saving a lady from Joe umping
off a bridge in Nashville. Governor Chris Sununu on Sunday
was attempting the It was attending the Hampton Beach Lobster
role eating competition, which sounds delicious.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
That.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Yeah, if you've never been to Maine or New Hampshire
and you think, man, you're just like I understand a
hot dog eating contest. Hot dogs are cheap. Yeah, well
up there, lobster is like hot dogs. Are we having
lobster again? It's cheap, it's plentiful. Lobster rolls are fantastic.
Hampton Beach is a very cool spot. We happened upon
(39:39):
it by accident. We were driving back. We had a
little family vacation up at Baja Ba and we were
driving back because we were flying out of Boston, but
we still had some day left and I said to
my wife, I said, as soon as we find a
spot for like swimming in the ocean, we're gonna stop.
And it turned out that was Hampton each New Hampshire,
(40:01):
and absolutely fell in love with the place. It is
such a cool There's this great strip of shops and
bars and restaurants and entertainment venues, and of course there's
the ocean. You know it. It was a wonderful experience. Anyway,
the Governor was up there at the lobster role eating competition.
(40:21):
He noticed one of the six contestants was struggling. He
was tapping on his chest, and the Governor's thinking, that
guy's choking and no one was responding. No one was
gonna help him, and so the Governor stepped in and
gave him the heimluch maneuver.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
What do you mean nobody was gonna help him.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
No one was gonna help him. Everyone's kind of looking
at him like, oh, what's the matter with that guy?
And the Governor jumped in there and did four or
five quick compressions and then first responders were able to
come in afterwards and they were able to remove the
lobster in his wind pipe. But Chris Sanunu, Governor Sonnu
(41:05):
of New Hampshire, helped save a guy's life the other day.
Speaker 3 (41:10):
That's an excellent part of your week.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Cool story for the guy who lost the lobster role
eating contest, but hades life saved all right?
Speaker 3 (41:26):
Did they get honorary mention free lobster for life?
Speaker 2 (41:31):
No, he got to live another day, got to have
people tell him, Hey, look, maybe the eating competition is
not for you. I'm surprised that doesn't happen every time
that they have an eating competition of some sort, hot
dog or whatever.
Speaker 3 (41:49):
We've got a local competitor. Why don't we ask her.
You're listening calls she moved away?
Speaker 2 (41:56):
You're talking about that little.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
Molly, Yeah, a little tiny thing.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
Yeah, she moved away a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
Well, she could still be listening on our iHeartRadio app.
You don't know could than.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
Here's a story that blends traffic. Do we still have
an issue in ninety six and Dodge? No good traffic
and human nature? Do you know about this new bypass
in Blair?
Speaker 3 (42:21):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (42:22):
Can you, to our satisfaction, give us some idea as
to what the issue was and what's going on though?
Speaker 3 (42:29):
Yeah, and if you live in Blair you're very familiar
with it. But they built a bypass off what's a
little bit south of Blair so that the trucks, the
big semis were not going right through the business.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
I think we've pronounced them. I think based on a
Jim Rose commercial, I think we pronounced them semis Now anyway,
go ahead.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
I'll go with tractor trailer.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
Then that's all right, not just but yeah, they're making
an opportunity to make fun of Jim. Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
They take them right down Washington or Highway thirty right
through the business district of Blair, and that's clogging up
the road and.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
It's bad for the roads those roads. Roads aren't rated
to have numerous eighteen wheelers going up and down the
road all the time.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
They build a bypass, yes, so they.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
Build a bypass. Yeah. So here's the thing. The trucks
in the first week or so of the new bypass
being open are sticking to the regular routes, and so
the people in Blair, the story here from KMTV three
are saying, these guys are supposed to go on the
(43:30):
bypass and they're not. The amount of traffic hasn't changed.
Trucks are still coming through downtown Blair, beautiful downtown Blair
where the buildings go clean up to the second floor,
and the trucks are still going up and down the
road here. And we still have a lot of traffic.
(43:51):
And one of the big reasons they did this is
you know, Blair High schools right off the road there,
and a student was struck and killed by a semi
in twenty nineteen, and that's when they were like, can
we not have this be a bunch of like commercial
traffic up and down. So they spend all this time,
all this money. It finally opened up the South Bypass,
(44:15):
and now they're saying, we need to have a north
bypass as well.
Speaker 3 (44:19):
Oh yeah, I saw that.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
Yeah, so they're talking about that. Meanwhile they're not using
the South Bypass. And here's the other thing. People in
Valley will tell you maybe the bypass is a bad
thing that you look at downtown I love Valley, Nebraska.
You look at downtown Valley if you ever had a
(44:41):
chance to go through there in the through the eighties
and up to the mid nineties, mid to late nineties,
when if you were going to Fremont, are you heading
up that direction? Socle Yeah, circle circle camp. I don't
(45:01):
know what that is, Okay, like a camp Kentucky kind
of a thing, like a summer camp.
Speaker 3 (45:07):
No, it's it's a little it's it's an area where
you can buy cabin Star.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
Yeah, okay, Well you had to drive through downtown Valley,
and the people who live in Valley said, we don't
want all these cars driving through Valley, and so they
constructed the two seventy five bypass. And so now all
the truck traffic, all the traffic traffic no longer going
through Valley. And what happened.
Speaker 3 (45:33):
Valley is dying. Well, the business district.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
It's it's come back a little bit, but that old
business district almost immediately withered.
Speaker 3 (45:44):
That's very sad. We used to go to that what
was it a Jack and Jill grocery store, something like that.
I'm talking at the seventies now.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
Yeah, I know, mostly I just go there. Can we
go to Dairy Queen? You know, Dairy Queen moved out
to the bypass, but there were some really nice little shops, restaurants, businesses.
Apparently Jack and Jill were there and DQ and it
all withered when they opened up the bypass. But they
don't have that truck traffic anymore, and the business owners
(46:13):
are like, you know, careful what you wish for.
Speaker 3 (46:16):
So okay, so the trucks did it in Valley, right,
I don't mean Blair has anybody talked to the truckers.
Speaker 2 (46:21):
Well, this just happened, so they might not know yet.
It's kind of It's kind of like, no matter how
many times I'm driving eastbound on I eight and I
see all the lanes of you know, here's A eight,
here's the express lanes, and this is both east and west,
I'm just like, I'm just gonna stay in this lane
and see what happens. I still I don't understand what
(46:43):
the express lanes are for. I understand that I can
stay here and not have to deal with the cars
merging onto or getting off of the road on the
local exits. But was it really that big a deal before?
Speaker 3 (46:56):
Well, I wonder if the truck drivers that said, Okay,
so now we've got a new two seventy five, we're
not going to the business district of Valley anymore. Fine,
we'll do this where Blair's right up the road. We'll
stop in Blair. And they thought, you know what, I've
already stopped going to a business I need to stop
for whatever I need to stop for. And so they're saying, no,
(47:20):
Valley already did it, Blair. You can't do it. We're
not driving it, we're going to the business. Yeah, we're
going to the business.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
Seventy five to Highway thirty. That's Blair, not two seventy five.
Two seventy five is Valley Fremont. Seventy five thirty is Blair.
I'm happy to tell you about all of these roads, Lucy,
this timesaver traffic. Anyway, my pass is open. You guys
on the road. I'm not going to tell you what
to do. But apparently the people Blair don't want you
(47:46):
driving through downtown Blair anymore. And I would think that
you would want to take the bypass because then you
don't have to stop at all the stop signs and
traffic lights. But then you missed, you know, truck Mountain
and insert another Blair reference to show that I've been there.
(48:07):
Now you want to hear my favorite story about.
Speaker 3 (48:09):
Blair, I'm afraid to say, yes, yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
You're going to here. It is when I was a teenager,
a sixteen I must have been sixteen, because I was driving.
There was a contest to go and get like backstage
passes and flyaway and meet Elton John. And I'm a
big Elton John fan, have been since I was a teenager.
(48:35):
So I'm looking at this going. Wow, a chance to
go meet Elton John. This is great, But you had
to send a self distress stamped envelope to this PO box. Well,
I thought, how lucky I am. I don't have to
waste all this money on postage. The PO box is
(48:56):
in Blair and I'm here in Omaha. So I filled
out dozens and dozens of these cards to try and
win this contest. And I thought, ah, I don't have
hardly any money, but I'm not gonna be licking this
is head to like lick stamps and lick envelopes. I'm
(49:18):
not gonna have to lick all this stuff. I'm just
gonna put it all in a box and take it
all up to the post office. And Blair, did you
actually do it? And I actually did it, and they
actually looked at me like, oh, you.
Speaker 3 (49:29):
Poor kid, I'm glad you did that for us.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
Yeah, they said that all of us. Yeah, they said,
it doesn't work that way. You can't just dump it
in this PO box. It does have to be on.
That's when I realized that life is not fair.
Speaker 1 (49:43):
Scott Voices News Radio eleven ten kfab
Scott Vordez.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
The genesis of my being upset was actually listening to
the Emery Songer Show. Not for anything, not It wasn't
Emory's fault. I was listening to Emery here. And Emory
Songer has been a part of our team now for
just over a year afternoons two to six on news
radio eleven ten KFAB, and Emory Songer has he already
(00:28):
upsets me a little bit because, as my boss told
me about a year ago, as Emory was on the
radio and making a bunch of you know, snide comments
for a young guy. He's the youngest member of our
on air staff here on eleven ten KFAB and he's
a young punk and all that and see and that
(00:49):
used to be me and it's not anymore. And my
boss told me, like, yep, you're a has been your
old news So I guess I already have a little
bit of an edge. So I was listening to Emory
and he did a fantastic job yesterday talking about the debate,
talking about nine to eleven and also you could score
(01:12):
a bunch of money bagging groceries at high V where
he was broadcasting live from the Super High V in Gretna.
Fantastic job. But what was he talking about? What did
he say that got me so mad? As I mentioned,
Emory is the young punk on this radio station. He's
in his early thirties. He's actually older than I was
(01:36):
when I started here, and as such, he's subject to
all the same stuff that you guys used to say
about me. Oh he's too young. He didn't know what
he's talking about. People used to say that about me.
I'd get so mad and go, what do you mean,
I'm too young? I don't know what I'm talking about.
My age has nothing to do with it. The fact
(01:56):
that I don't know what I'm talking about has everything
to do with it. That's just a perspective of age.
But Emory's age perspective yesterday, because he's I'd ask him
how old he is, but he's across the hall doing
something thirty two or thirty three, which means he was
nine or ten twenty three years ago when September eleventh
(02:20):
and those events unfolded in our lives. I think he
said he was in third grade, so nine or ten
years old, and they were watching some of it on TV,
and I just started thinking about everything that he's grown
up with and everyone younger than him who barely remembers
(02:42):
or dozen or wasn't even born when nine to eleven happened.
And so now we've got this whole generation that's just
grown up saying, well, these are the things we have
to do for your safety, for America's safety, and most
of us we just do it because we've been doing
it now for twenty three years. And you know whatever,
(03:05):
Like I wear sketchers most of the time. If I'm traveling,
come on and off, no tying of the shoelaces. I
take my shoes off, and I gotta make sure any
liquids or gels or certain measuring amounts, and then the
little baggies and in a transparent bag, and I gotta
put that bag separately over here. Take your laptops out.
(03:26):
Take your laptops out of the back that you got
to do all this stuff, sir. You got a belt on? Yeah,
I have a belt on. Still one of these weirdos
that wears a belt. Tuck my shirt in once in
a while. Yep, I'm going on a golf trip. I
got a belt on, you know, So you gotta do this,
you know, hey, we gotta search your bag come over here,
and all this stuff. And it's not that I'm necessarily
(03:52):
mad about any or all of that. It's that here
we are, after twenty three years, we're conditioned, we have complied,
we are conditioned to do all of that because it's
for our safety and it's for our own good. And
I don't know that any of the measures are necessarily
(04:13):
bad or anything. But then I started thinking about a
few other things, like our border. I have to go
to the airport and take my shoes off. But our
borders are an absolute free for all, and no one
seems to want to really do anything about I mean,
(04:34):
there's some who certainly want to do something about it,
but this is dependent upon the American people to determine
who's going to be in charge of this or that,
and who's going to be able to do whatever, and
what states are going to go along with it, and
what are we going to do? Our borders are a
free for all, and our schools and yes, what's happening
(04:55):
with juvenile justice in our community an absolute shinola show.
I gotta make sure that my hair jail. You think
I'm gonna go on a vacation and have my hair
out of place. Come on, I gotta take my hair jail. Now,
(05:18):
my hair gel. I got the industrial sized tube of
hair gel. I can't take that on a plane. What
am I gonna do? I'm gonna redo the pilot's hair
so it's matted down in his face. And I got
enough hair jail there, and it's down in his face
and he can't see where he's going, and we crash
into the moon. Gotta make sure that some of that
(05:38):
has squeezed out into a smaller tubear. I gotta have another.
I gotta spend money and get another smaller thing of
hair jail. Meanwhile, terrorist after terrorist after dog eating terrorist
is streaming across our border, willingly put into communities across
our country. Bust there, take a plane. Where do you
(05:58):
want to be? Here's a lug hotel you can stay here.
Here's an apartment complex, you can stay here. We got
gangs taking over apartment complexes, and not in our big
cities like New York and Los Angeles, in small places
like Aurora, Colorado, and Springfield, Ohio, and as far as
our schools go. Fourteen year old kid, his mom said, well,
(06:22):
he was bullied. I got news for you. I don't
know about this allegation of bullying. And I'm not saying, hey,
bullying's fine, get over it. I can say that shooting
a guy and a guy fifteen year old sophomore at
the school, whether or not you know he called you
(06:46):
a name or whatever, you don't take a gun into
the school and shoot a guy. And then we have
a fourteen year old who brought a gun into the
school discharged it into a classmate, and they go back.
This story here from the Omaha World. Herold talks to
(07:07):
one of the spokespeople for the Omaha Public schools and
they said, do you feel like your security measures in
schools are sufficient? Do you want to do metal detectors?
They said, no, we think we have sufficient security plans.
What happens is is that we got some kids who
are marked as being on a safety plan for their
(07:28):
own safety and anyone else's, And so when they come
into school, they have to check in and we put
a wand over them like a little metal detector wand
we have the ones. We don't do it to everybody.
We've got hundreds and hundreds of kids, sometimes thousands of
kids streaming through the doors, all at the same time.
We got to get them through here. We're not going
to do any this, but some of these kids are
(07:49):
on a safety plan and we will put the wand
over there and to make sure they didn't bring a
weapon into school. All right, What about this fourteen year
old kid at Northwest who brought a gun in and
shot a kid? Was he on a safety plan? And
the school said, Ah, we don't know. I don't know
(08:11):
if he was on a plan. I don't know if
he was searched with a wand yes you do. You
just don't want to tell us. You don't want to
tell us you can easily check this out. You didn't
check this out. You didn't anticipate this might be a question.
It wasn't like, oh, let me make a quick phone
call check. That's an important thing because as parents send
our kids into our schools, Omaha public schools get named
(08:34):
a lot because they're the biggest. This could be any
school district around here. As we send our kid into
these schools, we want to know how's the safety plan
working out. You said that this kid might be a danger.
First of all, why is he still in science class
next to my daughter? Secondly, are you actually following through
with your plan that you check him for a weapon
(08:57):
when he comes in here. Again, I don't know that
a kid who needs to be daily checked for a
weapon needs to be in school next to my kid.
But if so, are we doing it or are we
falling back into the same thing that happens in public
schools all the time, where we don't get certain kids
in trouble because we don't want it too many kids
based on the color of their skin to be on
(09:18):
safety plans or individualize education plans or whatever, or mark
for detention or expulsion or suspension or whatever, because we
don't want too many black kids getting in trouble in
our schools because it makes the whole school district look bad.
So instead, we're maybe gonna do some of this, and
maybe we're not. It's not going to be based on
the actions of the individual. We are going to base
(09:40):
this on the color of one's skin. And if someone
gets in too much trouble here at this school, we'll
just move them all to a different school and they
can go over there and be someone else's problem. Of course,
you gotta make a trade, got to bring in another
problem kid from that school into this school. The problem
has not been resolved. It's just been moved around a
little bit, and the schools have said, we don't like
(10:03):
that so many kids of a certain demographic are getting
in so much trouble. So do you really think that
when they say something like that, that they're really going
to do anything about the individualized And you can ask
him say, well, if this is the problem, tell me
that's the macro problem. I agree, it's a problem and
it's worth looking into for everyone's h shared curiosity, safety benefit, whatever.
(10:29):
But where's the micro where's the kid who was marked
for expulsion? Who's the one who did something like there
really wasn't all that bad and got expelled just because
he's black. You know, you start looking at the micro
and you can't find examples of that. So we got
this kid, I don't know if he was on a
(10:51):
safe Yes you do. You don't want to tell us,
you don't want to admit to us. Yeah, we got
kids on plans that we don't really actually do the
plan with. But please feel free to send your kids
into our schools and make sure when you go to
the airport that you take your laptop out of your bag,
make sure you got your belt off you to take
(11:12):
your shoes off, take your belt off, and you're going
through security as hey, we all remember nine to eleven. Meanwhile,
we're letting the next round of terrorists right through our border,
and we're just moving domestic terrorists from school to school.
If we put them on some sort of plan, maybe
we follow it, maybe we don't. And I was just
getting thinking about all of this stuff and thinking how
(11:35):
it's so sad that those who are about thirty five
years of age and younger, they don't know a time
when all of this I just mentioned wasn't commonplace and
happening on a daily basis. And then you have to wonder,
are we doing all this stuff still because it's for
(11:57):
our safety or they just wanted to see if we
would complain. That's it. There's the there's that rant kind
of I have a few other things to throw on
top of that horrible cake I just made, including here's
a bright spot. You had some admission of personal responsibility
(12:20):
by a high profiled individual we talked about this week.
We'll get to that next.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Scott Voices News Radio eleven Tenfaby.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Talked the other day about Tyreek Hill the Miami Dolphins.
This is the Star Wide receiver who got pulled over
for speeding, and the officer says, all right, you gotta
roll down your window, your heavily tinted window, so we
can talk to you and make sure you're not doing
anything in there. We don't know who you are what
you're doing in there, And the and the dolphin Tyreek
(12:54):
Hill said don't knock on my window. And then when
they said roll it up, he said, don't tell me
what to do. So they pulled him out of the
car and handcuffed him. Afterwards, he made it to the
game on time and talked about it and said, like
these officers, this is just what happens being black in America.
He said that very loudly during the traffic stop and
(13:16):
said the officers need to be fired. And he didn't
do anything wrong because his mom didn't raise him to
be disrespectful. Well, maybe he forgot that. He told the officer,
don't tell me what to do, because now he's watched
the bodycam footage of the officers, and to his credit,
(13:37):
he said, quote, I will say I could have been better.
I could have let my window down in that instance unquote,
A shocking admission of self reflection and responsibility on the
part of Tyreek Hill. Now, he quickly followed it up
with that officer though he's got to go, man, he said.
(14:01):
He said, yeah, I could. I wish I could go
back and redo the decision not to row my window down.
Buddy said that my refusal to put my window down
does not give officers the right to quote literally beat
the dog out of me unquote. You can see in
the bodycam footage what happens. Three officers pull him out
(14:24):
and scored him to the ground, and they handcuff him.
No one beat him, no one kicked him, no one
punched him. I'm sure it didn't feel great being taken
to the ground and have handcuffs put on you, but
they didn't quote beat the dog out of you. So
(14:45):
he says, yeah, I should have done that a little differently.
But he says, if I do the same thing, then
that doesn't give them the right to do with they did.
What are they supposed to do? What exactly would you
prefer officers do when they pull anyone over. They don't
know who they are, they don't know what they're doing.
(15:05):
They're not complying with officers commands. What are they supposed
to do. They don't know if you're in there as
some drug dealing, mass murderer, pet eating, you know, terrorists.
They don't have any idea. So if you're not going
to roll your window down and comply with the officers,
(15:25):
what are they supposed to do? Like, he won't roll
his window down, Well, I guess we'll just have to
let him go. All right, we'll get you next time. Yeah,
word to everyone here speeding up and down the streets
of Omaha, Nebraska, every single night at ten thirty. Apparently,
if the if the officers pull you over and you
(15:45):
don't want to have to deal with a ticket or
anything like that, just don't roll your window down, because
Tyreek Hill says, if you don't roll your window down
or step out of the car when they ask you to,
then apparently they just need to let you go. So
he did give some level of self responsibility here self
(16:06):
reflection in a positive way. Yeah, I could have done
that better, but still they didn't give them the right
to do with they What are they supposed to do?
I guess they're just supposed to say, well, shoot, we
want to arrest this guy, or at least give him
a ticket, but he won't roll his window down. We're
powerless against his power windows. But hey, it's a start.
(16:30):
Fox News Update next Scott Boyes, Well, well, well there's
Lucy Chapman. Lucy, you missed the first half of this program.
Let me bring you up to speed here. All right, Well,
well it's missed, coming goes you done?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Well?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Please, it's just decided to know you were very busy
doing very important things which could be compared to hanging
out in this show. Literally anything. It's much more important
than what I'm doing. Do you want to know what
you mean missed?
Speaker 3 (17:00):
I do well. I was thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
How do I boil down a half an hour into
thirty seconds? I use the confluence of events dealing with
our poorest southern border, horrible juvenile justice system, and school
issues we have here, and the confluence of all that
with nine to eleven and said, you know, it's really
sad that I still have to go to the airport
and put my hair jail on this little aty bitty
(17:26):
see through container. Meanwhile, terrorists are coming through our southern
border and our schools are like, hey, this kid just
came in here with a gun. Was he on some
sort of safety plan. Did you check him out? We
don't know, Yes, you do. You don't want to tell us,
you know. Meanwhile, I got to take my shoes and
belt off when I go to the airport. But our
borders and schools absolute free for all, you know. But hey,
(17:50):
they told us what to do with the airport and
we complied. And maybe that's what was all about, because
when it comes to some of these other safety issues,
we apparently don't care. And then I talked about Hill
and so here are some of the emails that came
in there. Scott at kfab dot com, Zonker's custom woods inbox,
David says, and now four of the female officers at
that Miami precinct where Tyreek Hill was are pregnant. You
(18:14):
can't let that guy get close to any women. I
can't verify that, David, Thank you for the email, Doug says.
Regarding schools, when you cut through all the bs, what
the school can't tell you is they can't do anything
because we've neutered. We've neutered any form of real punishment
that might work. It's either we do nothing or we
(18:35):
do some costly, worthless programs or courts that never work.
How about some good old fashioned spanking, push ups, laps, banging, erasers, whatever.
We've given up on things that worked and replaced it
with feel good process that sounds great but has zero results.
Because we think we can reason and talk children into compliance,
(18:56):
they see those people as weak and easy to manipulate.
That is from Doug sent to Scott at kfab dot com.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
You really think any of this can be fixed?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I I think you're talking about Wait, wait, wait, wait
before you before you say this, let me respond by saying,
if you look at the I like to look at
macro versus micro. If you look at the macro, how
are we going to stop any of this from ever happening?
It seems so impossible that you think, well, there's nothing
(19:31):
we can do. If you look at the micro, how
can I keep my kid from taking a gun to school? Well,
suddenly that's something we should be able to do something about.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Oh, here's the part of the show where Lucy says
she's glad she doesn't have kids.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah, I hear you on that one. But if you
look at that situation, then it seems a little more
plausible that something could be done here, Like this mom
in Georgia. She it seems to say, and I can't
even imagine. Another thing I like to do on the
(20:06):
show is put on other people's shoes. If I try
and put on her ugs, I can't even imagine what
it must be like to be her. Her son just
went into school and shot several people, killed four, including
two classmates and then two teachers. I can't imagine what
she's going through. But she started talking about the guns,
(20:29):
and she talked to ABC News and said, well, I
knew my husband had numerous guns, but I didn't know
that one, the one that was used in the shooting,
was a specific Christmas present. It wasn't until after the
shooting that I knew it specifically was his gun, and
I was shocked. Okay, what does that have to do
(20:54):
with anything. Well, I know that my husband's got a
lot of guns, but I didn't know that that one
was a Christmas present. Oh maybe it was a Christmas
present to a kid who's fourteen years old. Isn't old
enough to own this gun. This is your house, right,
This is Christmas for you. This isn't your estranged husband, right,
this is you're You're all in the same. Am I wrong?
(21:15):
Are they not in the same house. And and then
she said, she said, well, like, if I could talk
to my son right now. First of all, uh one
of my am I forgetting. I'm apparently forgetting. Was that
kid arrested or was he shot and killed? Uh?
Speaker 3 (21:37):
No, the one the most recent.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Yeah, Georgia, Yeah, yeah he was, he was. He was arrested, right, Okay,
So she says, if I could talk.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
To my family being held, yes, the dad is the
dad is, yes, he's a lot.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
He says, if I could talk to my son, I
would tell him I love him, and it's not your fault.
And it's noted here. She didn't say who she puts
the blame on. I'm not putting the blame on her.
She's going through enough. She didn't need some fat head
in radio in Omaha to say anything. But what are
(22:08):
you talking about.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
If she's implying that it's not his fault because he
doesn't have a good grasp of reality as far as
being an adult and being able to make a decision
like that, then then and she's and she is aware
of it, well, then the father should have been aware
of it too, and he should never have had a gun.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I just got a note here from a friend who
said that they are divorced. Well, she's referring to him
as my husband. I knew my husband had numerous guns.
I that does change the picture for me a little bit.
But you should be able to like. I have a
fourteen year old son. He's, as we've noted several times
(22:49):
on this radio, shown absolute blithering idiot, just like his dad.
I could have several loaded guns around the house, and
I trust him not to take any one of them
to school and start indiscriminately or even discriminately shooting anyone. Now,
I don't do that. My wife doesn't like anyone leaving
(23:13):
anything around the house. She hates it with my son.
Here's my dumb son. I don't probably lemonade was in
a cup that was and there was still some lemonade
in the cup, and he left it downstairs, and my
wife and I go downstairs to watch the new night
Shyamalan movie The Watchers. I thought it was am but
it's his daughter, I night Shyamalan and the movie The Watchers.
(23:37):
It's okay. It's like watching a pretty good episode of
The X Files. And that's what we were in the
mood for so it was all good. But before we
could watch the movie last night, my wife noticed, Oh,
I see that our son has left things like that.
And she picks up this cup. It's full of mold,
which means it's been down there for several days. So
we gotta say. She starts cleaning up. I said, don't
(23:58):
clean that up for him. Kid down here, I'm telling
them to get down here. Here's how you clean this up.
Here's why I'm telling you to lead. Don't leave the
stuff laying around. That's gross, dumb son, you know. So
my wife doesn't like anything laying around. It might get mold,
whether it's glasses or guns or whatever. But I should
(24:21):
be able to leave things laying around and know that
the kid that I've had some bearing and raising isn't
gonna take a gun to school and shoot people. So
to say, like, well, it's not your fault. I know
my husband had a lot of guns. I'm not saying
that's a brilliant move in this instance, but that shouldn't
(24:43):
be the issue. So, yeah, do you look at the
issue of how are we going to solve all this
stuff from happening? It gets really hard when you look
at all of it. If you look at just what's
going on with your kid. This is stuff we can
do and we don't because his parents were like, oh
it's hard. Does that answer your question?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Well, in the short term, sure, do we know anything
about this kid's medical situation? Was he being treated for
anna or with antidepressants or was he.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
A great question. I would not be surprised to learn
he was. He is described here by mom as quote
not a monster, which if I'm one of the family
members of the four people he killed, that's probably about
the last thing I want to hear he says, my
(25:40):
son is not a monster. He's my oldest baby. I
would just be throwing up. He is quiet, thoughtful, caring, funny,
and extremely intelligent. Until please pray for him and the
rest of my family, as I'm praying for all of
you every moment of every day. Yeah, so he.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Is all those I don't. And my question is, how
does how do you get from what she described? Is
she delusional? Or how do you get from when he
is all the things she described to where he was
that day.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
I'm inclined her to give her the grace that she
is out of her mind right now based on what
her son just did.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
I don't have kids. I don't know how I would
feel about you don't.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Now here's the part of the show where Lucy says
she's glad she doesn't have kids.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
And then I got this email from Kevin that Scott,
I don't know if you caught any of the MTV
Video Music Awards last night. Oh you know what? Darned
I missed it.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Remember when they were good.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I did check today because it said click here to
find out who won the video and I was like,
all right, because I wanted to click and see who
they gave the Video Vanguard Award to. That's the Little
moon Man Award given to someone who uh the body
of work over several decades as such that they get
kind of a lifetime achievement award. And I thought, maybe
(27:07):
that's someone of my vintage. Yeah, yeah, is going exactly
where you think it's going. Maybe it's like, hey, we've
given the Video Vanguard Award to the Eurythmics. Annie Lennox
and Dave Stewart are back here together out it wouldn't
that be nice? No?
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Who was it?
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Katie Perry?
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Well, maybe they know something we don't.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Maybe the lifetime the lifetime Achievement Award is for someone
who I still even though she's been doing this for
like twenty years, I still think of her as a
brand new artist, and I don't care A couple of
her songs are right, we use one of them as
rejoin music on this program.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
But yeah, did she like it?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Yeah? I kissed a girl got the Video van Guard Award,
and I liked it. So, Kevin says, I don't know
if you caught any of the I don't know what
channel MTV is. Are they showing. Are they showing old
school like reruns of Yo MTV raps? Because I'll watch
all of that. Give me some Doctor Dre and Fab
(28:14):
five Freddy and Ed Lover your hosts of Yo MTV raps.
I will watch that all the time. Head Banger's Ball
not so much, but maybe maybe more now than I
wasn't interested then. But I do like some of that
music more now than I did.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
That what they used to call it Storytellers? Was that
the acoustic show they did.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
That's on VH one Storytellers? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I love the old VH one Storytellers. Now you're thinking
of MTV Unplugged, Yes, yeah, that's the acoustic thing, fantastic stuff, fantastic,
the Nirvana MTV Unplugged legendary. Anyway, let's finish the rest
(28:57):
of Kevin's email, Scott, I don't know if you caught
any of the MTV Video Music Awards last night. I
didn't old. Taylor Swift, who just yesterday endorsed Kamala Harris,
made sure to mention that today nine to eleven was
weighing heavy on my heart and that today Patriot Day
was more important than any award, which is awesome. But
(29:18):
Kevin says, was she even alive? Then? Yes, Taylor Swift
is thirty four years old. As the rest of us
get older, so does Taylor Swift. You is sure thirty
four years old? Here's the other Taylor Swift number eighteen
and three hundred and thirty thousand, because this guy emailed
and said she mentioned nine to eleven. Was she even
(29:39):
alive then? Yes, she's thirty four, but her fans have
gotten older. Too many of them are of age to vote.
And since she said I'm endorsing Kamala Harris, here's a
link to vote. To register to vote, three hundred and
thirty thousand people clicked on the link, Did they all
register or they all of aged? Don't know, but that's
how many people were inspired to potentially vote for whoever.
(30:02):
Maybe they're going to vote for Kamala. Maybe not, but
probably Kamala. Three hundred and thirty thousand people clicked on
the link. I don't know how many people got registered
of the specific As of yesterday afternoon, three hundred and
thirty seven, eight hundred and twenty six people clicked on
the link. Maybe a lot of people clicked on it
(30:24):
hoping that it was an accidental Instagram live feed of
her in an intimate movement with Shannon Sharp. Does that comment?
Based on the look on Lucy's face, I should probably
take a little side trip down this story.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Do you want to though?
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Oh yeah, okay, because he's laughing about it all right,
He's like, well, sorry, here's what happened. Shannon Sharp super
Bowl champion Dallas or Dallas Denver, Broncos. He's now Pro
Football Hall of Famer fifty six years old, does stuff
(31:03):
on ESPN, and apparently had his Instagram story, which is
like a live feed like a Facebook live thing, started
streaming to his three point two million followers. A you
(31:25):
couldn't see any video, but the audio was a couple
of people talking for a while, and then they were
doing more than talking, and it was either based on
the sounds that were coming from this couple, they were
either in flagrante delicto or they were working out or
(31:47):
playing tennis. So and he just threw his phone on
the bed, threw her on the bed, and they were
probably working out. I don't know. So then the first
thing he said was I was hacked. And then once
(32:08):
he realized like no one's believing that, as she's shouting
his name during the act, eh, then he just says.
What he says now is I threw my phone on
the bed. I engaged in an activity. I've never turned
Instagram live on. I don't know how it works. So
(32:32):
he said it wasn't a prank. It was quote, me
being a healthy, active male unquote. So he's owning up
to it. His buddies are laughing at him. He's taking
his lumps with a smile on his face, just like
what you know. And the nice thing about this, what
seems to be the nice thing about this. I don't
think he's married, and the person he was with is
(32:53):
not his wife. I don't know that he's married or
not it, but that component isn't part of the so
there's not like a it's hey, whoops.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Well why did he even try to deny it if
there wasn't some kind of an element to that?
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Well, because he the first thing he probably got was
text messages. You know, later he's checking his phone and
text messages from his buddy's going, dude, your Instagram page
is this? He's like, I didn't do this, so I
must have been hacked.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Oh as if it wasn't him, right, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Right right, that's what probably happened until he realized, oh shoot,
so whoops, thinking of I'm thinking, if you're not recording this,
are you? No? Never? Never? There's your eighties movie reference
(33:51):
for this segment of the radio program Ghostbusters. Fletch.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Yes, I need to add fletch to my.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Always a good idea using the whole fist there, Doc
just breathes and breatheings b A ba arts too. Yeah,
but not right together, that's what I Sorry? Where was
I quoting fletch Shannon Sharp Instagram? Uh? Taylor Swift? Oh
that's right. She posted the the link and people were
probably hoping it was her in a compromising video with
(34:25):
Shannon Sharp. So that's what I was. So she did that. Meanwhile,
another music superstar did something else while filming a music
video on a bridge in downtown Nashville on Tuesday. They
go over to the Seagan Thaler or Seagan Thaler Pedestrian
(34:48):
Bridge in Nashville and bon Jovi is out there. John
bon Jovi is filming a video for his song The
People's House, and they're get to film on this bridge
and they're like, all right, we're trying to you know,
clear people in the background all that, and there's a woman.
(35:13):
Except she wasn't just there in the background. She was
there on the other side of the railing, standing on
the ledge of the bridge spanning the Cumberland River. So
they're looking at this, going is this woman threatening to jump?
Does she really hate bon Jovi music that much? So
(35:38):
bon Jovi just walked over to her. Now, imagine being
this woman whatever it was, whatever it was that was
happening or not happening in her life that she was,
whether it's and I don't mean to be glib about this,
(35:59):
whether it was the cry for help or whether she
was really going to do it, whatever, there's really no
big difference between the two. You're thinking, I'm about to
do this, I'm going to jump into the river here,
and then you look over your shoulder and here comes
(36:21):
bon Jovi. God sends us angels, doesn't he? Sometimes that
angel is bon Jovi?
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Easy on the eyes?
Speaker 2 (36:34):
So bon Jovi comes over and talks to her. What
is he quoting lyrics?
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Getting your registered to vote?
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Right, I'll be there for you. Oh, that'd be a
good bon Jovi's to play here. You look, you don't
want to go out in a blaze of glory. We're
all just living on a prayer.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
And maybe someone's told you that you give love a
bad name, but don't.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
You're terrible at this. Don't ever be a negotiator.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Off the top of my head, don't let life run
away with you. Run away bon Jovi's song.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
She's a Little Runaway. I'm impressed. Okay, that's a that's
the very first song release you've got.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
I know you've got to realize it's my life. It's
now or never, and we want you to live that life.
So lay your hands on me, come back on this
side of.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
The bridge, and you don't have to live on the docks.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
And never say goodbye. I think that's exhausting. My knowledge
of bon Jovi's song titles. How many did I get
in there? Eight?
Speaker 3 (37:47):

Whoa lit up there? There is something wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (38:18):
And Richie Sambora showed up. Oh I could have done
one of dead or alive, but that would be yeah,
that's probably wrong. I was pretty proud of lay your
hands on me and come back to the So anyway,
bon Jovi talks this woman out of jumping off of
the bridge. Her life has been saved. You gotta watch
(38:43):
out on that bridge. It's slippery. When wet Scott Boy
speaking of saving a guy, and I haven't forgotten about
that traffic story. I'm gonna bring up. Do you hear
the governor of New Hampshire saved a guy the other day?
Speaker 3 (38:57):
No?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Yeah, well bon Jovi's saving a lady from Joe umping
off a bridge in Nashville. Governor Chris Sununu on Sunday
was attempting the It was attending the Hampton Beach Lobster
role eating competition, which sounds delicious.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
That.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Yeah, if you've never been to Maine or New Hampshire
and you think, man, you're just like I understand a
hot dog eating contest. Hot dogs are cheap. Yeah, well
up there, lobster is like hot dogs. Are we having
lobster again? It's cheap, it's plentiful. Lobster rolls are fantastic.
Hampton Beach is a very cool spot. We happened upon
(39:39):
it by accident. We were driving back. We had a
little family vacation up at Baja Ba and we were
driving back because we were flying out of Boston, but
we still had some day left and I said to
my wife, I said, as soon as we find a
spot for like swimming in the ocean, we're gonna stop.
And it turned out that was Hampton each New Hampshire,
(40:01):
and absolutely fell in love with the place. It is
such a cool There's this great strip of shops and
bars and restaurants and entertainment venues, and of course there's
the ocean. You know it. It was a wonderful experience. Anyway,
the Governor was up there at the lobster role eating competition.
(40:21):
He noticed one of the six contestants was struggling. He
was tapping on his chest, and the Governor's thinking, that
guy's choking and no one was responding. No one was
gonna help him, and so the Governor stepped in and
gave him the heimluch maneuver.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
What do you mean nobody was gonna help him.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
No one was gonna help him. Everyone's kind of looking
at him like, oh, what's the matter with that guy?
And the Governor jumped in there and did four or
five quick compressions and then first responders were able to
come in afterwards and they were able to remove the
lobster in his wind pipe. But Chris Sanunu, Governor Sonnu
(41:05):
of New Hampshire, helped save a guy's life the other day.
Speaker 3 (41:10):
That's an excellent part of your week.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Cool story for the guy who lost the lobster role
eating contest, but hades life saved all right?
Speaker 3 (41:26):
Did they get honorary mention free lobster for life?
Speaker 2 (41:31):
No, he got to live another day, got to have
people tell him, Hey, look, maybe the eating competition is
not for you. I'm surprised that doesn't happen every time
that they have an eating competition of some sort, hot
dog or whatever.
Speaker 3 (41:49):
We've got a local competitor. Why don't we ask her.
You're listening calls she moved away?
Speaker 2 (41:56):
You're talking about that little.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
Molly, Yeah, a little tiny thing.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
Yeah, she moved away a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
Well, she could still be listening on our iHeartRadio app.
You don't know could than.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
Here's a story that blends traffic. Do we still have
an issue in ninety six and Dodge? No good traffic
and human nature? Do you know about this new bypass
in Blair?
Speaker 3 (42:21):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (42:22):
Can you, to our satisfaction, give us some idea as
to what the issue was and what's going on though?
Speaker 3 (42:29):
Yeah, and if you live in Blair you're very familiar
with it. But they built a bypass off what's a
little bit south of Blair so that the trucks, the
big semis were not going right through the business.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
I think we've pronounced them. I think based on a
Jim Rose commercial, I think we pronounced them semis Now anyway,
go ahead.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
I'll go with tractor trailer.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
Then that's all right, not just but yeah, they're making
an opportunity to make fun of Jim. Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
They take them right down Washington or Highway thirty right
through the business district of Blair, and that's clogging up
the road and.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
It's bad for the roads those roads. Roads aren't rated
to have numerous eighteen wheelers going up and down the
road all the time.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
They build a bypass, yes, so they.
Speaker 2 (43:08):
Build a bypass. Yeah. So here's the thing. The trucks
in the first week or so of the new bypass
being open are sticking to the regular routes, and so
the people in Blair, the story here from KMTV three
are saying, these guys are supposed to go on the
(43:30):
bypass and they're not. The amount of traffic hasn't changed.
Trucks are still coming through downtown Blair, beautiful downtown Blair
where the buildings go clean up to the second floor,
and the trucks are still going up and down the
road here. And we still have a lot of traffic.
(43:51):
And one of the big reasons they did this is
you know, Blair High schools right off the road there,
and a student was struck and killed by a semi
in twenty nineteen, and that's when they were like, can
we not have this be a bunch of like commercial
traffic up and down. So they spend all this time,
all this money. It finally opened up the South Bypass,
(44:15):
and now they're saying, we need to have a north
bypass as well.
Speaker 3 (44:19):
Oh yeah, I saw that.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
Yeah, so they're talking about that. Meanwhile they're not using
the South Bypass. And here's the other thing. People in
Valley will tell you maybe the bypass is a bad
thing that you look at downtown I love Valley, Nebraska.
You look at downtown Valley if you ever had a
(44:41):
chance to go through there in the through the eighties
and up to the mid nineties, mid to late nineties,
when if you were going to Fremont, are you heading
up that direction? Socle Yeah, circle circle camp. I don't
(45:01):
know what that is, Okay, like a camp Kentucky kind
of a thing, like a summer camp.
Speaker 3 (45:07):
No, it's it's a little it's it's an area where
you can buy cabin Star.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
Yeah, okay, Well you had to drive through downtown Valley,
and the people who live in Valley said, we don't
want all these cars driving through Valley, and so they
constructed the two seventy five bypass. And so now all
the truck traffic, all the traffic traffic no longer going
through Valley. And what happened.
Speaker 3 (45:33):
Valley is dying. Well, the business district.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
It's it's come back a little bit, but that old
business district almost immediately withered.
Speaker 3 (45:44):
That's very sad. We used to go to that what
was it a Jack and Jill grocery store, something like that.
I'm talking at the seventies now.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
Yeah, I know, mostly I just go there. Can we
go to Dairy Queen? You know, Dairy Queen moved out
to the bypass, but there were some really nice little shops, restaurants, businesses.
Apparently Jack and Jill were there and DQ and it
all withered when they opened up the bypass. But they
don't have that truck traffic anymore, and the business owners
(46:13):
are like, you know, careful what you wish for.
Speaker 3 (46:16):
So okay, so the trucks did it in Valley, right,
I don't mean Blair has anybody talked to the truckers.
Speaker 2 (46:21):
Well, this just happened, so they might not know yet.
It's kind of It's kind of like, no matter how
many times I'm driving eastbound on I eight and I
see all the lanes of you know, here's A eight,
here's the express lanes, and this is both east and west,
I'm just like, I'm just gonna stay in this lane
and see what happens. I still I don't understand what
(46:43):
the express lanes are for. I understand that I can
stay here and not have to deal with the cars
merging onto or getting off of the road on the
local exits. But was it really that big a deal before?
Speaker 3 (46:56):
Well, I wonder if the truck drivers that said, Okay,
so now we've got a new two seventy five, we're
not going to the business district of Valley anymore. Fine,
we'll do this where Blair's right up the road. We'll
stop in Blair. And they thought, you know what, I've
already stopped going to a business I need to stop
for whatever I need to stop for. And so they're saying, no,
(47:20):
Valley already did it, Blair. You can't do it. We're
not driving it, we're going to the business. Yeah, we're
going to the business.
Speaker 2 (47:26):
Seventy five to Highway thirty. That's Blair, not two seventy five.
Two seventy five is Valley Fremont. Seventy five thirty is Blair.
I'm happy to tell you about all of these roads, Lucy,
this timesaver traffic. Anyway, my pass is open. You guys
on the road. I'm not going to tell you what
to do. But apparently the people Blair don't want you
(47:46):
driving through downtown Blair anymore. And I would think that
you would want to take the bypass because then you
don't have to stop at all the stop signs and
traffic lights. But then you missed, you know, truck Mountain
and insert another Blair reference to show that I've been there.
(48:07):
Now you want to hear my favorite story about.
Speaker 3 (48:09):
Blair, I'm afraid to say, yes, yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
You're going to here. It is when I was a teenager,
a sixteen I must have been sixteen, because I was driving.
There was a contest to go and get like backstage
passes and flyaway and meet Elton John. And I'm a
big Elton John fan, have been since I was a teenager.
(48:35):
So I'm looking at this going. Wow, a chance to
go meet Elton John. This is great, But you had
to send a self distress stamped envelope to this PO box. Well,
I thought, how lucky I am. I don't have to
waste all this money on postage. The PO box is
(48:56):
in Blair and I'm here in Omaha. So I filled
out dozens and dozens of these cards to try and
win this contest. And I thought, ah, I don't have
hardly any money, but I'm not gonna be licking this
is head to like lick stamps and lick envelopes. I'm
(49:18):
not gonna have to lick all this stuff. I'm just
gonna put it all in a box and take it
all up to the post office. And Blair, did you
actually do it? And I actually did it, and they
actually looked at me like, oh, you.
Speaker 3 (49:29):
Poor kid, I'm glad you did that for us.
Speaker 2 (49:32):
Yeah, they said that all of us. Yeah, they said,
it doesn't work that way. You can't just dump it
in this PO box. It does have to be on.
That's when I realized that life is not fair.
