Have you been to the Great Wolf Lodge that's nearby.
We took our kids last weekend and they won't stop
talking about it. There's a huge indoor water park that's
always eighty four degrees and they have dozens of other
family activities like a ropees course, bowling, and more. It's
the perfect getaway. It's so close. We literally hopped in
the car and we were there in no time. We
all had a blast and we barely had to do
any planning. So if you have a free weekend coming up,
(00:51):
now's the time to book a trip to the Perieville
Lodge just outside of Baltimore, or if you're in the
Virginia area, check out the Lodge in Williamsburg. Head to

Tune Scott Scott for He's here with Lucy Chapman on
news radio eleven ten kfa B. Thank you very much
for being with us. At the end of yesterday's program,
I brought up a story that I didn't think was controversial,
but Lucy said yay, and I said whoa And she
said what And I said yeah, And so I said,
(01:21):
we're gonna talk about this tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
When you say what you say, Oh yeah, that.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Was a lady on the news if you remember that bit,
this lady and there's something happened in her neighborhood and
she was like I was like no, she was like,
oh yeah, And I said, oh, you know, like bro.
And it was so funny.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I was quoting the Undercover Angel song.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Leo Sarah Leo Sayers Undercover.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Inecover Rangel, Wow, Midnight Fantasy.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
You know what we've been on the air.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I can't say the next line, though, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
One hundred years of KFAB over eighteen years of this program,
I think that's the first Leo Sayer reference certainly on
this program. I think that's right, which is amazing because
several times I have felt like dancing. But isn't that
a Leo say Er song?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Do you make me feel like dancing?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
In fact, I got up during the Amish furniture commercial.
It had some fun jazz music and I got up
started doing the trump dance and Lucy looked at me
and said sit down. So we got in a little
disagreement about this, and Lance emails in the Zonker's custom
was inbox scot at kfab dot com and says, you
need to be nice to Lucy. It seems like you
(02:39):
two are always arguing and bickering. That's from Lance bickering.
We needed to bicker, We need to team up in bicker.
At Lance, we don't bicker, we don't argue. In bicker.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I think people should bicker more because it's just a
nice word to say.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Yeah, it's better than fighting.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah, but I don't think we do.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Your parents ever have a knockdown, drag out fight and
they go, I wish you guys stop fighting. Oh, we're
not fighting, We're having a discussion.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Why do you have to bring up those bad memories?
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Thanks a lot.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Yeah here too. Yep, sorry, no, no, let's bring it back
here because Lance is not going to be happy with
the punchline I thought of on this story. Here's the story.
I said, Hi V. They're a grocery store chain here
in the Midwest, and full disclosure, I'm honored to be
one of their radio voices here in our community because
(03:31):
I love shopping at High V.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I do too.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
You know, any place that has Bacon voice, bacon wrap,
steaks in abundance is my kind of place. So I
love me some High V. And they're not far from
my house, which is I think everyone here in the
community can say that. I'm thinking about sending my son
up there to work. He just turned fifteen. He needs
something to do. But as no one's paying him to
(03:54):
sit around in his room on his phone, so maybe
high Ve could you could get him a job. But
more and more grocery stores, including Hyve, had started doing
the self checkout thing, which is incredibly convenient, but it
also took away I think some of the opportunities for
jobs for people, for especially young people teenagers and some
(04:18):
people who are retired to man or woman the checkout
lines and be a live person to help you get
your items, and as more and more people went the
self checkout during COVID, you had fewer live people in there.
And now now that some people seem to think that
we're kind of on the other side of the pandemic
while others are hoping to pull us back in it,
(04:40):
Hive said they're getting rid of or changing many of
their self checkout lines, and Lucy said, yay.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Did you want me to recreate that please?
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Yeah, that is what you did at the end of
yesterday's show. And I said, really, because because I like
the self checkout line more often than not. Now, I
think there's a couple of reasons why we have this
difference between us. Number One, I'm a guy. When I
go grocery shopping, I'm not buying a cart full of ingredients.
(05:18):
I'm not getting supplies like I've got to get through
the winter. I got to buy everything in here. I'm
a guy. I go to High Ve, I get usually
three things. I get ketchup, a steak, I don't put
ketchup on the steak, and then whatever my wife. Because
I made the mistake of saying, Hey, I'm running into
(05:38):
High v do you need anything and she's like, oh,
I need the tail feather of an ancient Chinese bird
that hasn't been seen in three thousand years. But I
think that they have it. They're at High V and
I'm looking around the store talking to people who work there.
No one has any idea what she's talking about. And
(05:59):
I'm saying, like, it's they don't have it. She goes, no,
it's in the health food section. If it's not in
the health food section, it's over in the ethnic foods,
Like there's nothing that says ethnic food here, Like she
might be over where they have the tail feathers from ancient,
long extinct birds. I'm looking all over the store. I can't.
(06:21):
She sends me on why. In fact, she asked me
to get a wild goose the other day there. She
literally sends me on wild geese chases. And so these
are the three things I get. I just go in
there and get a couple of things. So when I
just have a few things, I go to the self
checkout because it's bing bang boom, and I'm out. Whereas
(06:42):
if I go to the checkout lines, a lot of
times are waiting behind someone who's got three carts full
of supplies, like they're about to traverse the Oregon Trail
and this is their last stop before they head off
into the hinter land. Hey, nobody got time for that.
So I go to the self checkout. But I thought, Lucy,
(07:03):
and here's where Lance isn't going to be happy with me.
I thought, here's probably why you like the live checkout
person rather than the self checkout line, because you buy
what has become a disturbing amount of liquor and alcohol
and and you can't and you can't do the self
(07:25):
checkout on your what has become a problematic amount of
alcohol that you purchase on a bi hourly basis. So
is that why you don't like the self checkout because
of your your your copious amount of wine and spirits
that you probably consume before you even get home. Is
(07:47):
that it?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Well, whereas that is a good idea or a good thought,
that could be the reason, But no, it doesn't have
anything to do.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
With that, because I would think that all the cocaine
you do would probably tamp down on the swelling of
whole bottles of hard liquor. But apparently it doesn't seem
to put a dent in any of it.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
No, they actually balance each other out. Really, Yeah, because
alcohol is are depressant.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
You see, Lance is never gonna listen to the show again.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Probably not. No, it doesn't have anything to do with that.
It doesn't have anything to do with employment or keeping
people employed. It has everything to do not that this
has ever happened in Ivy that I know of, but
it has everything to do with theft, because I have
read articles, several articles that people have actually been arrested
and taken to court and proven innocent because it looks
(08:39):
it looked like they were shoplifting, I guess for lack
of a better term, because you're at the store through
the self checkouts, which it turns out they weren't, and
it was proven so that they weren't. Two cameras and
so on.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I've never seen anyone stopped at HI.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I haven't well that's what I'm saying. I don't know
that it's ever happened at Hype.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Yeah my HIGHV. Especially on a busy weekend, right before
you know, a Husker game or something, there is usually
an officer of the law standing there, just kind of
making their presence felt, which I always appreciate. But I've
never thought like someone's following me out, like, did you
swipe all that stuff? Now. The one thing, another thing
(09:21):
other than alcohol that I don't like about the self
checkout is every once in a while my wife is like,
I need you to get one fruit or vegetable. I
don't have any idea whether this canty lope is ripe
or not. Is this the right onion? They all kind
of look a little beat up. I don't know. I
suddenly that's just your first hurdle. I know, I'm looking
(09:45):
at the tomatoes and they're all like scarred and bruised.
I feel like a guy at last call at the bar.
But I at this time, I know I got to
take one of these home. They all look a little rough,
but one of them is gonna do, you know, So
I grab one. I said, all right, you're coming with me.
You're a little redder that I usually go with. But hey, whatever,
(10:08):
I don't even know what I mean. So I take
it up there, and now you've got to put in.
Now you've got you gotta sit down at the scanner
and do yeah, and like do work. You know, you
gotta get into the bowels of the scanner computer like
I wanted to get a vegetable or a fruit? What
is a tomato? And I'm trying to figure out how
(10:30):
I do it. I gotta weigh the thing and all
the red like I finally, I just gotta look at
whoever's working there, like I don't know, and they come
over your hang on beat bat boom, and then I,
you know, have a I buy one of these things.
But that that's if you go into the checkout line
with the human there, they do all that stuff for you. You
don't have to do any of the beatbat boot out. Yeah.
(10:50):
Here's the other thing. Here's the thing I don't like
about the h the live checkout person. Have you ever
done this where you got some old lady in front
of you and she's buying, you know, just like various
ingredients like I've got to have you baking soda and
some brown sugar and some rice and like I don't
(11:11):
know what she's making and just a lot of little
ingredient kind of.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Things, random ingredients that don't go together.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
You have some diet right, you know, just you know,
buying all the kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Where did you find that?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Yeah, diet tab and and then h you know, I'm
back there and all I have is just this giant steak.
I just got it, you know, it's it's in the paper,
and I just bang put it down on the conveyed
and it's like three feet on the Yeah, it's got
the big you know, yeah tomahawk bone sticking out of it,
(11:44):
and it's like three feet behind all of her stuff.
So I don't get one of those little plastic separator
rubber separator things and put it there, because I think
it's probably pretty obvious, like that's her stuff, and then
over here by where I'm standing is my stuff. And
the live person working in there looks at the her stuff,
looks at my steak and grabs the rubber separator and
(12:08):
puts it, like, come on, we can figure this out, right,
We've that we know what's going on here. Happens to
me all the time. It always annoys me, like, come on,
you know the deal here, We don't need the rubber separator.
It's it's okay, We're gonna be fine. Here's another thing
I don't like. You ever go to a fast food joint,
(12:30):
and I tend to eat a lot of my lunches
at like two fifteen. It's not really lunch, it's not dinner.
It's a time when I usually eat. So I'll go
into a fast food restaurant. I'm the only person in there,
and I've been the only person in there for forty
five minutes, and I'll be the only person in there
for the next two hours. And they say, what do
you want? I'll have a double cheeseburger only ketchup and like,
(12:54):
you know, a tab And they say, okay, can we
get a name for the order?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yes, I do know what you're talking about, because I
always go into order because I don't eat a lot
of fast food, so I don't want to sit at
that little menu with the guy behind me saying, you
know what.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Their menu hadn't really know. I'm looking and looking at
the left side, looking at the right side. It's all
the same menu. It's just a lot of it going on,
and I don't know s.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, I get that.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Yeah, I just hate when they're looking around only one there, like,
can we get a name for the order? And my
name is always the same. It's yeah, my name is
the only guy standing here, and just look at me
like I'm going to quit my job today. I I
don't know what. Come on, Come on, guys, we can
figure this out. Don't even try and pay in cash
(13:41):
with your have to make change on that, Oh that's impossible.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Five minutes. I was in line at a local retailer
over the weekend. You didn't ask me what I did
this weekend? No days ago, no, so five minutes because
the cashier it was one hundred dollars bill and I
think that the total light and see the total, but
the change was sixty nine dollars and seventy one cents,
(14:09):
and the lady gave her one hundred dollars and twenty
six cents. I might never remembering that exactly.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Right, But there was no chance that they because she had.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Already put in just one hundred dollars, not the hundred
in change, right right, She had no all the manager,
Oh my gosh, called the manager over.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
They're still there.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
The lady behind me and the lady that was doing this,
she looked at me and she just shook her head.
Lady behind me, and I'm just smiling.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Whatever.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
You've got to try that next time you see, especially
a young person working at the checkout someplace, you pay
in a ridiculous amount of cash that causes them to
have to like they'll they'll get they'll be like deer
in the headlights. They won't know what's going on. They'll
be frozen in time and what they'll end up doing.
Rather than try and have to figure out how to
make that change and break it down, they'll just take
(15:00):
the drawer out of the register and hand it to you.
I hear you figure it out. I referenced her earlier
in the program. Here's that woman who saw the fire
at her apartment complex in Tulsa and talked with the news.
My friend came some No, she said, well, I was
on the phone cooking me and my baby some breastles.
Then she said, hey, something wrong is popping?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
She said what?
Speaker 5 (15:22):
She said?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Yeah, she said no. So the girl come downstairs.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
She come out of her apartment with her baby with
no shoes on.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
I said, oh, girls call outside.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
She said some ain't right.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
I said, oh man, She said, oh man, the building
his own fire.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I said, no, what I got my three kids and
we bounced out, Oh, we ain't gonna be in no fire.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Not the doctry news radio eleven test Ki baby, Oh
my gosh, that's a not as good as my favorite
of all time.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Ain't nobody got time for that.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
She's my favorite. But right behind her that her name
is Michelle. Not to we bounce, not gonna be caught
in no fire, not to dirt. Pope Francis says, I'm
not dead yet. I feel happy. But when I die,
I want to have a simple funeral, more befitting a
shepherd than pope. And I guess the usual people funeral
(16:20):
has three different caskets made of Cyprus lead and oak.
He's like, just throw me in a lawn and leaf
bag and just be like it's not a big deal.
So he's like, once a totally scaled down funeral, which
I think is is very nice. So that's he's letting
his wishes be known. I, on the other hand, I'm
(16:41):
still gonna require at least three caskets you'll want because
there's be a lot of people that want to whale
and throw themselves on the casket at my funeral, So
I want to have a lot of room. I don't
want any fighting.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
You're head you're gonna have fake casket set up.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Yes, just for people to wail and throw themselves on.
So those are my wishes, Lucy. I hope it you'll
see that they're carried out.
