Metro Board Brouhaha / Ozzy / Corn Sweat

And an assessment of what Coach Rhule said yesterday

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott vorgiez.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Ozzy Osbourne gone at the age of seventy six, just
a few weeks after a huge show. I mean, when
you have Metallica as your opening act, that's a really
big shows. He reunited with Black Sabbath, that of course
a solo track from Ozzy Osbourne, which is either music
to your ears if you celebrate his entire catalog, or

(00:30):
an affront to the senses if you're a Black Sabbath
fan and you're like, I don't like all that soft
stuff he did in the TV show and all the
rest of it. Ozzy Osbourne certainly elicited responses from fans
and detractors over his career, which was legendary, and we'll
talk more about it here in about an hour from now.

(00:51):
Is Lucy Chapman is a Black Sabbath fan, I'm curious
as to your level of Ozzy Osbourne fan.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Very first concert ever went to nineteen seventy nine Civicadatorium.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
We'll talk more about that in an hour from now.
It's kind of become commonplace on this program when there's
a notable passing, a celebrity death, that usually comes up
just after ten o'clock, so we'll keep it in longer
form in that spot one hour from now here on

(01:24):
news radio eleven to ten KFAB Good morning, I'm Scott Voorhees.
I will say this. My Facebook and Twitter post yesterday
was meant to evoke a riy smile and an eye roll.
People were like, I can't believe that you're mocking, and
there's no mocking. It's like I said, ry smile and

(01:47):
an eye roll. As tributes were coming in to Ozzy
Osbourne as we learned of his passing, I posted that
Ozzy has passed away. I feel especially bad for his
brother Tom. The idea of being as you look at
it and go uh Ozzy Osborne, Tom Oh Tom Osborne,

(02:09):
and it just and and and it also pleased me
to think that there would some be there would be
some people who would see that and think I didn't
know that the Prince of Darkness and the coach of
Nebraska football for so many years were brothers, and then
they would share that with their friends and go well.
A guy on KFA B said that these guys were
brother twin brothers. It was just supposed to be stupid,

(02:31):
but raw nerve that's how it goes.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Did you upset some people.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Oh yeah, okay, oh yes, uh you got the eye
roll from me.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
That's fine. That's all I want is people are like, oh,
do you think there's the funniest thing that would no?
Ray smile and an eye roll was the best I
could have hoped for. Yesterday we talked about how there's
a member of the Metro Community College Board of Governors.
This is the board that oversees Metro Community College. As

(03:06):
I said yesterday, their job should be incredibly easy. They
get together I don't know, once a month, once a quarter,
I don't know, and then have a vote. Should we
keep offering reasonably priced, quality education to people here in
the community. All those in favor say I I, All

(03:26):
those of posts say nay. All right, seeing no nay,
as we move on and uh, you guys have a
good night. Yep, we'll see you here in a few months.
How could they possibly screw this up? Well, there's one
member of the board who was I still don't know
the level of public nature of the original post, but

(03:48):
someone either on a personal page or in a group
private or not, had posted a picture from the recent
pride parade here in Omaha, and it featured a big
voice of the democratic left online. This is someone who

(04:09):
we'd noted this a few months ago. There was a
group that came up in the wake of COVID called
Nebraskans Against Government Overreach, and they were out there saying, look,
we shouldn't have to get a vaccine to do that,
Schools should be open, parents should be making It was

(04:30):
a very conservative group against government overreach when it came
to COVID restrictions, masks and all the rest of it. Well,
they didn't trademark their name or whatever. So there were
a group of people this person in the picture in
question included, who came out there, trademarked the name and

(04:50):
started their own group against what they saw as government
overreach from Pillin or any members of the unicameral Kathleen
Couth for any issue related to LGBTQ this or that.
And so they had two groups exactly the same name,
complete polar opposite opposites of the political spectrum, just to

(05:11):
tweak each other. So this person is more of the left,
much more of the left side of that political spectrum.
She goes on her social media pages and uses vulgarity
and profanity and sexual references. So as I said yesterday,
she should probably be about the last person to be

(05:33):
allegedly offended by what was said here. But as I noted,
even if you're a blowhard as I am, as she is,
when someone takes a personal shot at you and your family,
it hurts. I don't care your level of you know, bloviation,
it's still it gets you sometimes. So someone posted a

(05:56):
picture of her, and I don't know if this guy
is her husband or whatever. I see them together in
her Facebook posts, so they seem to be together. I
think they even have a kid. So they're there, and
she's showing probably showing off the license plate that says
eighty six forty seven as in get rid of the

(06:16):
forty seventh President f DT is in Donald Trump. So
she's showing off the license plate. And she is a
very in your face political voice in this town. So
since she is known for strong responses, she got a
strong response. People were making fun of her. People were

(06:38):
making fun of her guy. And that's where this member
of the Metro Community College Board of Governors got in
trouble as he posted on their as they were questioning
whether or not he was gay or straight. He said,
and I don't have the quote in front of me today,
but something along the lines of maybe that's why she's

(06:59):
so crazy because she has not had a good jolly rogering.
Except he used a much more vulgar and profane way
of getting that point across. So someone like I said,
I don't know if it was in a private group,
for public or whatever, but someone managed to get a

(07:20):
hold of the screenshot goes all over the place, and
that led to last night's meeting of this board. The
board members seemed either unwilling or unable to remove him
through a vote. I don't think it works that way.
So what they did was they wanted to publicly censure
him for comments unbecoming of a member of the Metro

(07:45):
Community College Board. It was a unanimous vote. Wait unanimous.
Isn't he on the board? Yes he is. Did he vote,
Yes he did. He voted to censure himself, Yes he did.
But he didn't do what other members of the board
and several people, including the woman in the picture who

(08:08):
was the subject of this lewd comment. Many people were
calling on him. His name is Adam Gotshaw. They were
calling on him to resign last night. He did not
do so, though he did apologize for what he said.
He said, I was out of character, out of line.
Nobody deserved that. I understand the anger and the frustration.

(08:31):
I share the same frustration with myself. This hardly pacified
the crowd, like you admit you're a scumbag. Scumbag shouldn't
be on this board. Other members of the board said
that they wished that he would shut her down leave
the board. One woman said, your constituents expected a leader.

(08:52):
They don't expect to be caught up in your personal drama.
That's what social media is. Then don't follow the guy
on social media. I don't want to be in his
personal drama. Let's give him a like and a follow
and a friend or whatever. So I don't know how

(09:15):
personal the drama is, but she said that she's not
surprised he refused to resign. In a statement to k
ETV Newswatch seven, her name is Jamie, and she said,
I'm proud of the MCC Board of Governors for their
bravery and for the parents and the community for taking

(09:35):
this seriously. The Board of Governors did all they can
within the confines of Nebraska law to address the actions
of the MCC board members. So she celebrated the board
in their unanimous censuring of the board member, which includes
the member in question who is the target of the censer,
who also voted against himself to censure himself. So ostensibly

(09:57):
she is proud of him, too doubtful, But so then,
because that's not all I kind of figured all of
that would happen last night. The other board members would
grandstand and pontificate they're right to do so, and that
he would. I thought maybe he would apologize for maybe

(10:19):
that apology of I'm sorry if anyone was offended, which
puts the onus back on you. It's the non apology apology,
Hey sorry if you couldn't take that comment I made.
I figured he would not step down from the board.
But what I didn't see was what happened next. Just

(10:40):
moments after he apologized and once again refused to step
down from the board. The meeting was called the recess.
We think because members of the board knew knew what
was going to happen next. I don't know that Adam
Gotshall knew what happened next, because what happened next was
he was arrested, placed in handcuffs, led out of the building,

(11:06):
and into a police cruiser. Now immediately people are like,
he got arrested for making a vulgar and profane comment
about this. No, it has nothing to do with the comment.
It has nothing to do with his failure to resign
from the board. Apparently he had a warrant for his

(11:29):
arrest in Washington County, north of Omaha Blair area, because
he was supposed to appear in court earlier this month
as he was I guess in May of this year,
got pulled over. He had no valid registration. So what
I expect is he was supposed to let someone know, hey,

(11:49):
I got registration from my vehicle. It's all good. He
didn't do that, so he had to appear in court
on July second. He didn't do that either, and so
there was a warrant for his arrest. Amazingly, the arrest
decided to come last night during recess from his board meeting.
I guess they figured they knew I guess they figured

(12:10):
they knew where he would be at that time. So Yeah, Amazingly,
they're like, yeah, time to arrest him and get him
out of here. Now they're talking about like arrest, Well,
that's for the warrant, not the initial charge. The initial
charge is a Class three misdemeanor. You can't also remove
him from this board because he didn't have proper vehicle registration.

(12:35):
So the last thing I'll say about this story I
think here today is probably what Adam Gotshaw was thinking
as he was being placed in handcuffs and led out
of there by the cops. And he was probably thinking, oh,
thank God good. How else was he going to leave

(12:59):
the building in peace last night? How else was he
going to leave the building and not be attacked? And
I don't know, maybe killed. I mean, I don't know.
I don't put it past anyone anymore.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
Even watching too many movies, we knew.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
People were all whipped into a frenzy over this guy.
And this guy was made to on social media. He
was made to be the local Trump, and there are
a lot of people who want to, as her license
plate suggested, eliminate Donald Trump. He was made to be

(13:34):
the local manifestation of everything that people hate about Trump
and MAGA and conservative policies. And they're trying to hold
us down, and they're trying to take away our rights,
and they're ripping families apart. And people got so whipped
into a frenzy. I wouldn't put it past All it

(13:55):
takes is one nut job to say I'll handle this,
because what was going to be the alternative? Last night?
They adjourned their board meeting at some point, and he
just walks out to his car, said, hey, thanks a
lot for coming. Everyone see you. I don't know what

(14:16):
was going to happen after that. He was certainly going
to be surrounded and yelled at and harassed. It's not
unreasonable to think that maybe someone would assault him. Therefore,
it's not unreasonable to think it could have gotten uglier
than that. Or take it this way. For those who
don't like me casting aspersions on a group of people

(14:38):
mad at this guy, I could have been the other way,
because I'm sure he had his supporters there last night
as well, who have the same kind of thoughts. Oh,
here's this group of people who don't think I should
be allowed to exist, that want to assassinate our president,
that want to stop you know this. And so they
show up and they're packing last night, and they see

(15:00):
and angry mob surround this guy, and they think I'll
protect him and our rights as Americans to speak our minds.
And then they get in the way, and next thing
you know, a fight breaks out, someone pulls a gun,
and someone gets shut It's not I don't think it's
crazy for me to let my imagination go a pretty
short distance to get to that point where it gets

(15:23):
ugly and violent. So as the cops were leading him
out in handcuffs because he had this warrant up in
Washington County, the person who was probably most pleased about
this not the people who showed up hating his guts,
who wanted to see him removed in handcuffs. I'm guessing

(15:44):
that they were elated by this, but probably the person
more happy about this was the guy in the cuffs, thinking, man,
this is great. I don't have to walk out to
the parking lot amidst this mob and deal with what
whatever happens next. Thank you members of law enforcement for
getting me out of here. I don't think he orchestrated it,

(16:09):
but I think he was probably happy about it. So
we'll see where the outrage is directed next. He's still
on the board, which means they'll still have board meetings.
I guess he still has his social media page. We'll
see where the outrage goes next. Thankfully, last night there

(16:33):
was nothing got too awfully crazy. I didn't see that
he would be let out in handcuffs. So people are
mad about that. People are really mad at the coach
of the Nebraska Cornhusker's Matt Rule because of what he
said a big ten media days yesterday. Now call me

(16:54):
a Matt Rule apologist. I don't have a problem with
what he said, perhaps because this is you know, how
I interpreted what he said. But here's a little bit
of Matt Ruhle at Media Days yesterday that I don't
know that anyone had a major problem with some of

(17:17):
of what he said to end things. But I think
here is the problem of what he said yesterday. They
got people so upset.

Speaker 5 (17:26):
This was a bad football program when we got here,
making no mistake. People are beating Scott up for what
he said. It was a bad program. It was bad.
It was a bad job. We're turning it into a
great job.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Now here's what he's said to follow up.

Speaker 5 (17:37):
As we've taken this from like what I would say,
was not a great program. That's probably a blow people's minds,
but it wasn't a good place. As we've rebuilt the infrastructure,
as we've changed everything, as Trev and now Troy have
poured all this mean, what Troy Dan's doing right now
is amazing, like, but our athletics are like across the board.
That doesn't happen without tremendous investments into the program. And

(17:59):
so that's why it's now a really good job and
people want to come be a part of that.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
So coach Uhle says it was not a good program,
not a good situation when he got here. Well, no,
it wasn't. We were losing a lot. There were all
sorts of accusations as to who was in charge of
doing what, and that goes from the administration of the
university to the athletic department. There's a reason why Trev

(18:26):
Alberts left and some of this accusation has to do
with how much money are we going to have for
this huge not only a money maker for the university
but also a rallying point for the state and Husker
fans everywhere. And you had people cheaping out on it,

(18:46):
and you had accusations of a coach who wasn't focused
on his job, and that was Scott Frost. And then
you'd see the problems on the field, undisciplined, finding a
way to lose a game and snatch defeat from the
jaws of victory late in the fourth quarter just about

(19:10):
every single Saturday, and fans were upset. People were not
writing big booster checks. People were saying, I'm gonna give
up my season tickets. I don't know how much longer
I can support this. So Scott Frost gets fired. We

(19:32):
hire Matt Ruhle. Matt rules assessment is this was not
a good program when I got here. He's not talking
about the history of Nebraska football. He's not talking about
the scarlet and cream diehards who get frustrated by what
they see. They get upset, they see things maybe going

(19:55):
the wrong way, but they're never going to completely give
up on their foot. But that number was dwindling. Think
about it. Did you ever have to because maybe your
kid had something going on during a Husker football game,
which is sacrilegious, but you know, sometimes it happens, or

(20:17):
you have you've got something going on, and so now
the Husker game is on and you have to drive
someplace within town. Remember how that used to look in
the seventies, eighties, and nineties. The Husker game is on,
whether radio, TV, whatever, and especially if it was on TV,

(20:37):
you would go driving around town, or you would go
to a store. There were some women who were not
big football fans. Is that I loved going out to
the mall during a Husker game because I had the
place to myself, no crowds. Or I could take the
little kids to the fun park because there was hard
leading one there because the Huskers were playing. And that's
how it used to be.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
Yeah, and you know what else, all the food that
you used to get at football parties go.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
I don't know what you're talking about there if people
were I'm just gonna presume you don't know what I'm saying,
and that's on me. But a Husker game would be playing.
If you had to go out for a drive someplace,
the roads were empty. That's how it used to be
these last ten years or so, Huskers are playing, You've

(21:27):
got to go out and drive someplace. There's traffic everywhere.
People are not home watching the game and therefore eating
Lucy's Husker food that she's talking about. So it was
not in a good place when Matt Ruhle got here.
That's why we had another coach and then shortly thereafter

(21:48):
another athletic director. Now Matt Rule says, I love what
our ad Troy Dannon is doing. I love what this initiative,
the eighteen ninety initiative, and we're looking to shore up
our NIL funding and be able to compete so we
can win football games and get back to being a

(22:09):
championship level program. And some people are just focusing on
that first thing that Matt Rule said, and like he
thinks that this is a bad place to be. He
doesn't like it here.

Speaker 5 (22:21):
This was a bad football program when we got here.
Make no mistake. People are beating Scott up for what
he said. It was a bad program. It was bad.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
It was a bad job.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
We're turning it into a great job now. Scott Frost
spoke out at Big twelve media days recently and just
basically said, I didn't even want to go to Nebraska.
I didn't want to take that job. Now he's back
at the place he left to come here in Central Florida.
Good for him. I'm not going to sit here and

(22:50):
continue to bash on all that. But Matt Rule kind
of stuck up for him while also subtly throw him
under the bus because he also said, like, yeah, I
guess it wasn't the right fit for Scott Frost, but quote,
I respect that I feel for him. I want him

(23:11):
always to feel like he could come back and has
a home here at Nebraska. Very classy thing for coach
Rule to say, while also saying, yeah, the program is
in a bad place when I got here, meaning this
is how it was left to me by the former
coaching staff led up by head coach Scott Frost and
the former athletic director trev Alberts. So I don't have

(23:32):
a problem with what Rule said. He said he kind
of had to be convinced by his wife to come here, like, no,
this is the right place for us, this is the
right fit. And anyone who says like, oh, Matt Ruhle
kind of seems like he's going through the motions and

(23:53):
doesn't really care about this. Now you're misunderstanding what not
only he said yesterday, but what he has been doing.
I noted this a couple of days ago. I was
talking to Emery Songer on his show on eleven ten
KFAB and I said, it's amazing, I mean really excited
for this football season because I think that there's an

(24:15):
infusion of spirit, especially among younger would be Husker fans
who've not been given a reason to be Husker fans
their entire lives. If they're like ten to fifteen years old,
they've never seen a good Nebraska football team. They've never
been given a reason to care. And what they've seen

(24:36):
is our quarterback and running back Dylan Royola Emmitt Johnson
have been going to high school sporting events, hanging out
with the student sections, doing fist bumps, taking pictures, you know, selfies,
and all the rest of this stuff, getting them excited, like, hey,
the Husker quarterback is here. Matt Ruhle's been out doing
charity events, flipping burgers at the College World Series, hanging

(25:00):
out at golf charity fundraisers so we could talk to everyone,
do fist bumps, selfies, all the rest of that stuff.
They want to be a part of the community. They
want to foster these good vibes going into this season. Now,
Matt rule could have come out yesterday decked a female
reporter and then passed out drunk on the floor. But

(25:25):
if Nebraska goes on to win let's say nine out
of our first ten games, no one would even talk
or care about that. Someone might say, like, remember big
ten media days, Matt Rule like choked this person, like, ah,
she had it coming. You know, how about those huscars?
You know, if we start winning, no one would care.

(25:50):
And I think that he's focused on that, and I'm
excited about this season. We are what five little less
than five weeks away, big red people in California are
thinking about. And this is I don't know if you've
ever spent any time in California and wanted a cheeseburger,

(26:10):
or if you go visit relatives or friends there and
they're like, oh my gosh, you're from Nebraska. I know
you got Runzo back there, but you've got to have
an In and Out Burger. They love, They're so proud
of their In and Out Burgers in California, a big
burger chain. It's in many more states other than California.
It's in I think eight states, and it's about to

(26:33):
move into Tennessee, which is where the CEO is moving
her family to. Born and raised in California, Lindsey Snyder,
billionaire owner and CEO of In and Out Burger, is
moving her family to Nashville and then talking to a
podcast host, she said that she said there are a

(26:55):
lot of great things about California, but raising a family
is not easy here. Doing business is not easy here.
So you think Husker fans were mad when Matt Ruhle said, yeah,
you know this, This was not a good program when
I arrived. Talking about Nebraska football, she's talking about California

(27:18):
is not a good program, not a good area in
which to do business or raise a family. Now, she
said that she loved living in northern California, but she says,
you know, if I were raised in southern California, I
think it'd be a lot different. But she said, raising
a family is not easy in California, and doing business

(27:38):
is not easy in California. And Californias are like, I'm
never going to have another in and out Burger with
their secret sauce and their French fries and all the
rest of this stuff as long as I live. How
dare she say that? Why would she say that? Is
there any moment for self reflection here? When you have
fostered an environment where people can go in free of arrest,

(28:04):
let alone persecution or prosecution when it comes to shoplifting,
when it comes to threatening customers in and out of businesses,
living on the streets, ruining the sidewalks with human waste
when no one gets arrested. They're trying to claw back

(28:28):
on some of this stuff, saying, all right, maybe we
should prosecute some of the shoplifting crimes or these flash
mobs that go in there and just run a business clean,
like a locust infestation in a field, and no one
ever gets arrested. They're like, wow, we're not going to
go after this. There's problems with illegal immigration taking jobs,

(28:51):
driving down wages, causing those problems, and not to mention
the liberal policies and the schools. So she says, I'm
going to in Nashville. I'm gonna raise my family there.
It's better. And California can either use this as a
moment of self reflection and say why are so many
people leaving our state, or they can do what they're

(29:13):
doing now, seemingly folding their arms, being stubborn, digging in
their heels and saying good, get out of here. We
don't need conservatives like you. I don't know that she's
a conservative. I think she's just a mom. I don't
want to raise my kids in this environment. So she's
out now. She says, we're keeping our California locations. No

(29:33):
one's closing. Our headquarters is still being California. Please continue
to eat our cheeseburgers. But we'll see how that goes.
You know, it's a similar situations. We have a situation
here and thankfully this guy is you know, he didn't
get shot or anything. But we had a traffic stop
in Florida. White cops, black driver. And the headline is

(29:56):
is that, you know, these cops were allegedly wrong for
punching an unarmed driver. And you see the picture of
him with his hands up as officers are dragging him
from his vehicle. What you don't see are the several
minutes of arguments as they pulled a guy over. He
questioned why he was pulled over. Cops loved that. They said,

(30:18):
we're gonna need you to show your license or registration.
He said no. They said, all right, step out of
the car. He said no, and then slammed his door
shut and locked it. When that happens, cops come in
after you. Was it the right thing to do? Well?
According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, none of the officers

(30:38):
involved violated criminal law, not to say that they didn't
violate some of the teachings of the law enforcement office,
and they might be dealt with accordingly. But this guy
also was arrested earlier that day and pled guilty to
driving with a suspended license and resisting an officer the
same day. This guy is no angel, and he's one

(31:02):
of those who's been trained to believe that if cops
want to ask you questions or pull you over, it's
time for you to adjudicate your case right there on
the side of the road. That gets people arrested, and
in some awful cases, it's gotten people killed. And you
can either use that as a moment of self reflection
and say, maybe we should raise our young men to
behave differently when pulled over, or we can keep having

(31:23):
this happen. All right. So an hour ago played a
little bit of his ballad Mama, I'm Coming Home. And
then there's a bit of Ordinary Man from just a
few years ago, which I played in its entirety when

(31:45):
it was released a few years ago, because I think
it's such a beautiful song. Do Blacksabath fans consider Iron
Man to be more of a novelty song? It was
such a it sounded so different from anything else I mean,
I went from listening to my mom's Beach Boys records

(32:05):
on forty five on my little suitcase Fisher Price record player,
to my buddy Scott, who lived a few houses down
a few years older than me, said, hey, listen to this,
and among other things, introduced me to iron Man, and
I thought, this is the coolest thing I have ever heard.
This is so different than the Dave Clark five.

Speaker 4 (32:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
I think a lot of people probably had that thought
when they first heard it, as especially if they'd heard
the other Black Sabbath stuff.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
Paranoid.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
Yeah, yeah, it could have ended up being their mister Rabato,
I think, But I don't think.

Speaker 4 (32:41):
Well, clearly it didn't go that way.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Yeah, well it's I want to talk first about your
first concert. Mine was weird, Al Yankovic. What was yours, Lucy.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
Black Sabbath Civic Auditorium, nineteen seventy nine, Tell me about it.
My mother didn't know I was there?

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Really? Oh no, see you could do that back in
the seventies.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
I think I was just I had just turned twelve.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
I want to hear the whole story, you and your friends,
or you just snuck out and went down twelve. I
don't know alone. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
My best friend's mom was super cool, and so she
bought our tickets. Seven fifty seven dollars and fifty cents.
She bought our tickets, gave us a ride down there,
dropped us off, and picked us up, picked us up
after the show. My mother was never the wiser.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Yeah, and how was it?

Speaker 3 (33:37):
It was eye opening at first because before this I
had I guess, if you consider Sean Cassidy a concert,
maybe they weren't my first concert, but so that's all
I'd seen. And then my mother would take us kids
every once in a while. They had extra tickets to exarbon,
so you know, got to see red skeletons or bread buttons.

Speaker 4 (33:56):
I don't know in super sales.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Wow. Yeah. Lucy grew up in the vaudeville era and
then quickly went and saw Black Sabbath. So nineteen seventy nine,
though that wasn't Black Sabbath, that was Ozzie right.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
No, No, that was Black Sabba, Black Sabbath.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
They got together again in seventy nine.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
I believe that was the last tour he did with
Black Sabbath as as that band for all.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
While that's true, I'm looking here at the timeline here.
They fired him that year, Yeah, because he was missing
gigs and showing up late for rehearsals if he showed
up at all, and exhibiting Ozzy Osbourne like rock star behavior.
So you saw one of his last shows with that.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
With the original lineup is the unbroken original lineup?

Speaker 4 (34:43):
Yeah, I got to see that show.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
And the next time that they all got together from
original lineup was just earlier this month at well in England.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
Makes you wonder if he knew.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
I don't know if he knew, But whereas people most
of us don't know Ozzy Osbourne. I don't know. Maybe
a few people listening are like, oh, yeah, we were
close friends. I don't know, But most of us don't
know Ozzy Osbourne. We don't know what was going on
with him, knowing that they had this big event, this

(35:18):
big concert coming up, knowing that maybe he was close
to the end of his life but he wanted to
hang on and do it. Most of us don't know him,
but we probably know a grandparent or a parent or
a family member who were getting pretty close to the
end of the life. But Christmas was coming up and
the whole family was going to get together for Christmas,

(35:40):
and they hung on. They enjoyed that Christmas and everyone
said like, wow, you know, Mom is in I've never
seen her this good. I mean, they just spring to life,
they host Christmas, or they're there at that celebration, they
have a wonderful time with the family, and then on
like December twenty eighth, they're gone. It happens all the time.

(36:04):
The number of passings by family members right after the holidays,
there's a major spike, and it's probably for the same reason.
I know, I've got this coming up on the calendar,
and I'm not ready to let go until I do
this thing I'm looking forward to now. Not everyone gets
that opportunity, but it's amazing how often that happens. I

(36:26):
didn't realize until right now as I'm looking it up,
that they only played a few songs at that show.
And I heard from some people and I've saw some
of the video footage that maybe Ozzy wasn't in the
greatest voice, but he's had Parkinson's now since twenty nineteen
is when they announced it. And I don't know what

(36:47):
anyone expected, but just the fact that he was out
there and it was an incredible show that line up,
I mean Metallica was the opening act, and then Black
Sabbath with Ozzy Osbourne played I don't Know that's the
name of a song, Mister Crowley, suicide solution, Mama, I'm

(37:07):
Coming Home, and then finished with Crazy Train and that
would be his final performance, which I think everyone expected
because that's what they said anyway. So, as a longtime
Ozzy Osbourne fan, what were you thinking about yesterday? Is
we learned that he passed at the age of seventy six.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
It's sad to see such iconic artists pass and I
hope that he is. He A lot of the music
he wrote was kind of what some people would call
devil music.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
You know how much of that was an act?

Speaker 3 (37:57):
Well, I think it was a lot of it was
an act. Clearly, I don't know the man, but it
was an act. But it was also drugs and alcohol
and think I had a terrible problem with addictions and
Sharon saved his life numerous times just by being there
and helping him. I watched a real quick interview last

(38:19):
night one of the episodes there are, one of the
times that he was in betty Ford. He said that
everybody treated the patients there, like they were just normal people.
And he says the had to do the vacuuming and
the cleaning of the doms when he was at betty Ford.

Speaker 4 (38:32):
So yeah, the long history of that.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
So I think a lot of that could have been
but I think that there might have been. You asked
what I thought about him, and I'm not going to
go all spiritual on you, but I hope that it
was something that he saw coming and understood that maybe
he needed to figure some stuff out.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
What did you think about that TV show? Because a
pub standpoint, and he went from biting the head off
of bats or I mean he didn't know it was like, yeah,
I know, I've heard that that he didn't know it
was a real bat. That's what I've heard is someone
just started throwing stuff on stage and he grabbed it
and thought, oh, someone threw a rubber bat on stage

(39:18):
and he grabs and bites it and realized like, oh,
I'm chewing on a bat. Crazy. I don't know, but
he went from that. I mean, that's the Ozzy Osbourne
I grew up with. He's biting the head off of
bats for breakfast every single morning. He's a he's a
demon invoking heavy metal pioneer and absolutely crazy, and you know,

(39:45):
with the makeup and the hair and the album covers
and all that stuff, you know, I would I didn't
buy any Ozzy Osbourne albums growing up. I was into
Michael Jackson and that kind of thing, Huey Lewis, but
I'd see him at the record store and go, that's horrifying,
kind of interesting. That's the iron Man guy. I am
iron Man, you know, and I like that as a kid,

(40:08):
but I wasn't gonna buy those albums to Then the
next thing we see from him is him just kind
of shuffling around as his whole family is just cursing NonStop.
I mean, wasn't ninety percent of that show bleeped out
when it was on TV. He was just cleaning up
after his dogs and and cussing at his kids, who

(40:29):
were cussing back at him, and everyone's cussing at each other,
and it was just kind of weird.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
Isn't that what most families really are when you boil
it down?

Speaker 4 (40:37):
No, come on, no, Well, maybe that's why I liked him. Yeah,
didn't even know it at the time.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Yeah, but he didn't look wild and satanic or anything
like that. He just he kind of looked like he
wasn't in control. And that's where we got Sharon Sharon
to be this this media figure that she now is,
and so it was. Yeah, some fans were kind of

(41:04):
I think, turned off by whether it was the Ballads
or the TV show, like they wanted their Prince of
darkness and only the Prince of darkness, which makes me
again wonder how much of that was an act.

Speaker 3 (41:20):
I think that there was probably a lot of it
was an act. When you watched the show, My first
thoughts of the show when it first came on was
this is so exploitive, this guy is ill, and why
are they doing this? But the more you watched it, yeah,
and so I'm still watching it, right, So the more
you watched it, you realize, Yeah, he was a little

(41:40):
bit obviously dealing with Parkinson's.

Speaker 4 (41:42):
We didn't know then. I don't know if they did.
I assume they did.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
But when that started, that was over twenty years ago,
So I doubt he had a Parkinson's diagnos at that point.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
Isn't that what Michael J. Fox has?

Speaker 4 (41:55):
Yes, well he's been Yeah that's almost forty that's true years.

Speaker 2 (41:59):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
So I think it could have been then at that time.
But the more I watched it, the more you learned.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
It's not almost forty years from Michael J. Fox. Maybe
twenty five. When was the may years ago? Was nineteen
eighty five?

Speaker 5 (42:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (42:15):
When was the mayor show?

Speaker 4 (42:16):
He did?

Speaker 2 (42:17):
Spin City?

Speaker 4 (42:17):
Yeah, spin City.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
Late nineties, early two thousand. No, okay, well he didn't
have it then.

Speaker 4 (42:23):
Yes he did. Okay, that's what he said.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
All right.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
I don't know so anyway, But the more you got
to got to know the family, so to speak, I'm
watching him. It was kind of a sweet family.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
I mean for me. I I don't know that. I
I mean I some people mentioned this an hour ago
were really mad by what I posted on my social
media where I said Ozzy has died. I feel especially
bad for his brother Tom, which, as I said an
hour ago, was just supposed to as people go, huh

(42:59):
and then think Oz Tom Osborne. Oh maybe at best
a ry smile and an eye roll, which is the
best I can ever hope for. With my alleged humor,
it wasn't supposed to be mocking him, certainly, not by
the way. I was the person who when that ordinary

(43:19):
Man song came out, which I think was his last
single a few years ago. I played it in its
entirety on the show. So for all the Ozzy Osborne
fans that are like, I can't believe that you would mind.
How many of you listen to that song? How many
of you listened to a lot of his stuff that
he released over the latter half of his career, or

(43:39):
did you just listen to war Pigs over and over
and over and over again and be like, I don't
like his new stuff, I don't like his ballads. I
think his best song is No More Tears circa nineteen
ninety two. Great bassline, awesome vocals, incredible vibe on that song. Absolutely,

(44:00):
So don't give me any stuff about like, oh, you're
mocking Ozzy Osbourne's death. No, I'm not. I just didn't
have the basis for doing a either an angry or
a sad tribute to someone who had an incredible career,
a long life, and lived at the age of seventy six,
which is young for some people. But let's face it,

(44:23):
fifty years ago, did you think Ozzy Osbourne was gonna
live to seventy six?

Speaker 4 (44:27):
Ozzi didn't think that I mean, as far.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
As I'm concerned, I'm I was more sad. Yesterday we
were talking about Malcolm Jamal Warner and played back when
he was on the show years ago on his birthday,
and we were talking to him and having a great
time talking to him about that transition from being a
kid on TV to being a dad on TV and
talking to Bill Cosby about how to be a dad

(44:49):
on TV because he grew up on The Cosby Show
and he was fifty four years old tragically passed away
in a drowning accident with his family there. I felt awful.
I still feel sad about that.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
There's an interview out there with the lifeguard that tried
to rescue him. I did not listen to it because
I didn't think I could. I just think that would
be just.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
That's that's sad.

Speaker 4 (45:09):
It's so sad.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
And people are like, well, you're mocking Ozzy Osbourne's death
by making a joke. Well, and then I thought about
it yesterday and thought, would I have made the same
joke had had Tom Osborne passed away and say I
feel bad for his brother Ozzy. No, because we know
Tom Osborne. People in this town count him as a friend,

(45:34):
whether they've met him briefly or know him well. And
I felt like that would have been the wrong tune.
So why do I feel okay doing that about Ozzy Osbourne?
Like I said, it was not supposed to be mocking
or anything like that, just an eye roll and a
rye smile, and and honestly, at what I hoped for

(45:55):
that would be for a few people to believe that
Ozzy Osbourne and Tom Osborne were brothers and go wow,
I never knew that, and then start telling their friends.
I thought that would be hilarious.

Speaker 3 (46:07):
Oh you mean, like I thought Cindy Crawford died and
it was actually Cindy Crawford the dog.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
Who's Cindy Crawford the dog?

Speaker 3 (46:15):
She is a or he was or she was an
internet star that was a bulldog that was super fat. Okay,
well I didn't I told everybody Cindy Crawford died.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
Well, yeah, if you hear that Cidy Crawford died, no one,
no one has heard of this dog, then yeah, I suppose.
But okay, that's why it helps to click the headlines
and not see a headline that says, Sidey Crawford has
died and then a picture of a dog and think, wow,
she really let herself go.

Speaker 4 (46:43):
Way to end it on an upnoe you met.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
Scott byes News Radio eleven ten Kfab Scott at kfab
dot com.

Speaker 2 (46:51):
Lanta is defending my purchase of a cassette single. She
goes ah, yes, the cuss single. Sometimes you really didn't
need the rest of the album. We were ahead of
our time before downloading single songs. Yeah, we were. It
was better because you get a B side. I mean,
this is this is the evolution. You'd go by the
forty five, which was the single on record, and then

(47:14):
the flip side. The B side was sometimes an album cut.
Sometimes you would you would get a true B side,
a non album cut like this garbage isn't good enough
for the rest of the album, but true fans might
like it. Or sometimes you'd get really cheated and it

(47:35):
would be the same song on both sides, or you'd
have the non radio edit on the other side, Like
the radio edit would be three minutes sixteen seconds in length,
and then the album version would be three minutes and
twenty four seconds in length. You're like, this is the
same song. There's an extra bridge.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
It's kind of a whiny little brat, weren't you.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
I always liked the instrumental version on the flip side.
You've never seen that, Oh yeah once in a while,
Yeah that was that's that's never a bad deal, or
a live version of the same song. So then it
was cassette singles and then CD singles, which would give
you a few more options, especially for the CD single,
not really a flip side like on a record or

(48:19):
a cassette, but you could have an EP. Now. And
now these kids, they just they they for a while
there where they're downloading a single song, no B side,
no album version, no non album cut, nothing.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
And no album art. Kids have no idea.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
No that's not true. Sometimes if you download the single,
it pops up, yeah, picture on picture. Yeah, but it's
better than nothing. I do like the album art showing
up on my dashboard. But there's no B side. And
now the kids don't even buy any music. They just
stream it on these lousy things like oh iHeart radio,

(49:02):
I mean great things like I'm kidding a lot of them.
They just go to YouTube and just like I want
to hear this song, and they just type it in
and here comes the song, and then they get really mad.
They didn't. They spent zero dollars on this, but they
have to watch five seconds of an ad before they
can skip out of it, and they're like, oh, this
is the worst. We had to try and convince our

(49:24):
mom to take us to pickles and so we could buy,
so we could spend money on music, And then we
listened to the whole album because we heard the one
song on the radio. We're like, I love this, I
want to buy the whole album, and you listen to
the rest of the album and you go, I got cheated.
All I needed was the single. The rest of the
album is terrible, and we were out the money. Couldn't

(49:44):
take it back. These kids, they just don't know that's
on which album?

Speaker 4 (49:51):
Uh it was, Oh, Mark Kohne, Oh, I have that album.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
I wanted to walk in Walking in Memphis.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
I didn't like the rest of it.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
The Thunderbird songs on there, really that's a really sweetear.
It's a really really sweet song about his dad. I
think it's called Silver. Thunderbird is also on that album,
and it's it's really good. But you're right, the rest
of the album isn't exactly I mean, it's a lot
of soft rock. You're a Black Sabbath fan. I could

(50:20):
see where you're like. I didn't need lesser versions of
walking in Memphis. Walking in Memphis, great song, what a
great song? It said. Tell me, are you a Christian?
I said, Man, I am tonight walking in Memphis. Mark Khane,
he is. It's amazing. He's still alive. He was shot
in the head in a carjacking years ago and survived it.

Speaker 4 (50:46):
Did you know a very good carjacker?

Speaker 2 (50:48):
You know that story, Well they got the car. Yeah,
he survived.

Speaker 4 (50:52):
I can laugh because he survived.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
Oh yeah, he's uh, he's It's incredible, all right. M
Then Mike emails and says, I ate three ears of
sweet corn last night, and I got the corn sweats,
corn corn sweat. The process is technically known as evapo transpiration,

(51:20):
the avapo I we'll go. Evapo transpiration. This is when water,
whether it's through condensation or watering the fields. The water
evaporates from corn and also other plants, soybeans and so

(51:42):
forth during the reproductive stage, combines with other water molecules
in the humid air, and more moisture in the air
means things feel even more humid or muggy than normal,
and it makes you sweat more because of all the
water evaporating off of the corn aka corn sweat. The

(52:07):
corn is sweating more moisture in the air near the
corn fields. We have a lot of corn fields around here.
Corn sweat.

Speaker 3 (52:16):
It's like Nebraska's little rain forest, that's right. And how
many times have you went to Peela and ear corn
and it's like.

Speaker 4 (52:24):
What is all this? Why is it wet?

Speaker 3 (52:27):
So?

Speaker 4 (52:27):
Yeah, I guess I can see it.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
Yeah, I just wanted to eat, you know, on a
hot day. Nothing better than a cornsicle. You just get
this wet. One acre of corn can give off up
to four thousand gallons of water every day during the
growing season.

Speaker 3 (52:44):
Beautiful, that's brilliant. I'm so happy about that.

Speaker 2 (52:48):
How are we in a drought?

Speaker 4 (52:49):
Right? Why do we need water?

Speaker 2 (52:53):
Right? Can't the corn just water itself by this process?

Speaker 4 (52:56):
Self?

Speaker 3 (52:56):
Water and corn?

Speaker 2 (52:58):
But I have to say that it seems like every
few years you get a new new terminology for weather,
and we'll count this under the category of weather. Like
yesterday we were laughing about how oh a dangerous heat
and people are emailing going, yeah, I'm walking down the
street suddenly the heat jumped out from behind the bushes

(53:19):
and mugged me. It's on my phone.

Speaker 4 (53:22):
That actually kind of happened to me.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
Dangerous heat.

Speaker 3 (53:25):
I walked outside. I thought, well, it's not that bad
out or what's what's everybody talking about? And I went
into Low's and I'm walking around in the store, picked
up a couple things, went out to the garden area.

Speaker 4 (53:34):
It was only other for like ten minutes.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
Get up to the registered All of a sudden, Wow, okay,
now I know what whatever everybody's talking about.

Speaker 4 (53:42):
It was bad hot hot, hot.

Speaker 2 (53:45):
Yeah, I know it was. But as I said yesterday,
all right, so it's we have a really high heat
index topping triple digits today and it's humid. It's it's
gonna be a really hot, awful day. And I said, like,
oh no, what are most of us going to do?
And leave our air conditioned homes, get into our air

(54:06):
conditioned cars, go into our air conditioned office which is
so cold we have to put a jacket on at
our workstation, and then go home in the air conditioned
car and go back into our air condition house. Is
that how awful? Because for most of us, we're not
working outside for those who are working outside, they know
what they're doing. They take breaks, They should take breaks.

(54:28):
I'm glad that we have attention paid to this. What
ends up happening can then people are emailing going, well,
you know, for older people or for people with heart conditions,
this is really dangerous for them. I'm like, yeah, that's
why they shouldn't be just running around. And that's you know,
that's why we talk about how it's hot heat index.
I would think the people around here, especially older people,

(54:48):
would know that. Well, what happens is is that you
do have stubborn old guys who do succumb to problems
with the heat because they say, I'm gonna go mow
the lawn, Like Harvey, you shouldn't be mowing the lawn.
It's too hot. Woman. Hush up, I'll be fine. And
then then he died. He drops dead there in the yard,

(55:11):
and she looks out from the window and says, well,
I told him, you know. The feeling, a weird feeling
of sadness and satisfaction washes over her as she sees
Harvey dead there in the lawn. It happens, but it's
mostly because the stubborn old guys. And I look forward
to being one who go and do They're like, it's fine,

(55:31):
and then they just go out and they start you like,
I'm going for a bike ride and they're like it's
too hot. You shouldn't go on the bike ride. Woman
tell me my business. And then they go out there
and they fall off the bike and drop dead. But
that's not you know, that's that's its male stubbornness is
what that is.

Speaker 3 (55:52):
I see you going towards that in your life. Did
Larry not hug you enough?

Speaker 2 (55:58):
And still doesn't. That's my dad. My dad's birthday tomorrow.
He's gonna be really gonna be really old tomorrow. And
the worst thing about this is he still beats me
in golf, still beats me in golf. Here's here's a
typical great Saturday for me. I play golf with my
dad and get beat by an old man. And then

(56:18):
I come home and my son says, hey, you want
to play basketball in the driveway? Sure, and then I
get whipped by my son.

Speaker 4 (56:25):
Play a girl.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
Then I'd get beat by a girl. I literally love it.
I literally can't win.

I agree with you, Ollie says a lot of good
remixes to hip hop songs that were better than the

by L L Cooljay featured a more poppy hip hop
remix of Mama Said Knock You Out, which I really like.
And I've never been able to find since And I
