It's the most wonderful time of the year!  Bring out your canned goods!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott third day of November. It's always sad when the
month of October is behind us. But as soon as
the last trick or treater came to the door and
we turned out the lights, it suddenly became a brand
new season. Hey everyone, Merry Christmas. That happened immediately. It's

(00:23):
the most wonderful time of the year. With the kids
jingle belling and everyone telling you be of good chief.
Who needs Thanksgiving?

Speaker 2 (00:37):
It's the most wonderful time old.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yes, that's right, Thank you, Andy, Andrew Scott bo He's
here with Lucy Chapman and we're so glad to be
with you on news Radio eleven ten kfab no matter
the season. Lucy blew my flip in mind the other
night when she sent me a picture of her handing
out candy to trigger treats at her house, which I

(01:03):
imagine was a I good morning, Lucy.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
It wasn't ai. You just don't know what year it's from.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
That's true. Did you honestly hand out candy to some
trigger treaters on Friday night?

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yes? Yes, we did, went through all the candy.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Wow. I imagine that had to do more with it was
on a Friday and you got an extra hour of
sleep over the weekend, so you thought maybe you'd disrupt
your precious schedule by just a few minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
No, I was drunk.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Oh well, I was gonna say that too, But I'm kidding.
I thought it was obvious on Friday morning that you, yeah,
you got started on the Hallo weekend early.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
I was kidding.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Well, okay, let's go with that.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
No, I really did pass out candy, and then I
really did pass out. I'm just kidding. I can't I
can't stop. I can't stop.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
I just remembered that I am not hungover right now. Yeah,
I was pretty sure that I was going to be
so hungover this morning because, oh my gosh, do we
hit it last night? Anniversary anniversary?

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yeah, yeah, that's good.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
That's the annual. See, the members of the United States
Senate have to run for reelection in early November every
six years. President four years, Congress two years. I have
to run for reelection in early November every single year,
and my goodness, it was closed this year. There's a

(02:34):
socialist terrorist sympathizer who was really gunning from my job
as husband. But it turns out we're still waiting on
some early ballots to come through there in the mail ends.
But looks like I'm getting another year as husband. Twenty
third anniversary, So how do we celebrate but not doing much?

(02:58):
Which is you know, fine, we have a landmark birthday
that my wife just had that we're celebrating here in
a few weeks with a week long deal. And uh
so do you have a party for We had a
little party on her birthday. We had a little uh

(03:18):
little thing nice. We're taking I'm taking the family on
a week long cruise here in a few weeks. So
we still did something. I made sure, I made sure,
made sure she had to open and I know it,
made sure she had things to open and all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
I would have brought a great gift. However, I wasn't invited,
No was she.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
She wasn't feeling that hot, So I kind of hale.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
You were talking to the person who has known and
made every excuse there is. There's nothing you can tell
me I believe excuse wise, I wasn't invited.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
This is the part of the program where I remind
you that Lucy always wants to be invited everywhere, but
never wants to go anywhere. That is the lane oh
Lucy like that. It's Lane, oh Lucy. So we had
our anniversary yesterday and I got her flowers and a

(04:16):
bottle of champagne, not the real cheap stuff, not the
real expensive stuff, but you know, good good champagne. And
you know when you pop open a bottle of champagne,
you got to drink the whole thing. And so I
there was a time last night where I thought, oh,
tomorrow should be fun. But I'm good, which means it

(04:37):
was really good champagne.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah, he doesn't last long. A wine buzz doesn't last long.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
It can for me. Oh, but I had a nice weekend.
Obviously unfortunate, not just that the Huskers didn't get it
done on Saturday night, but now we have to try
and get it done the rest of the season with
a backup quarterback TJ Latif. Latif is a French word.
It means the tief and the backup will be the

(05:07):
guy who puts Nebraska into another gear. And I'm anxious
to see what we're able to do starting this Saturday,
very late game against UCLA. This quarterback is much more
mobile than Dylan Ryola what.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
You've seen him play. Yes, yes, so it's not going
to be a complete unknown.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
No, not a complete unknown. But there's a difference between
all right, you're going in here in the second half
against a ranked USC team on this blackout night when
everyone's going, you know, crazy, and the drone show going up.
There were times there was one moment that I knew
that he was going to be asked to either throw
the ball or do a run pass option because he

(05:51):
looked so nervous pre snap he couldn't get his mouthpiece in,
and I thought, oh, this guy, this guy was thrown
right into it. Now that he has a chance to
get his feet under him a little bit and a
week's worth of retooling things to provide the Nebraska offense

(06:13):
something that Riola really doesn't, and that is the chance
to add another runner into the mix. Latif looks like
a really good runner, and I like that option. If
you pardon the Husker offensive punt, I don't think we're
running the option anyway. Really sad though, to see Riola
go down. This kid has so much heart. This is

(06:34):
a Nebraska football team that, before the game on Saturday night,
had welcomed a pair of Make a Wish teenagers into
the program for the full weekend locker room coin toss
and a seventeen year old kid from Sergeant Bluff, Iowa

(06:54):
diagnosed with non Hodgkin lymphoma of the brain and central
nervous system. That young man his name is Ben. And
then a fourteen year old Casey who has de Shen
muscular dystrophy. He's from Cedar Creek, Nebraska. They got a
chance to be a part of the whole thing, and
you know they they got lunch, including with the Riola

(07:16):
who made a point to go and hang out with
these guys. I mean, I really love this team, and
it was it was a cool environment at Memorial Stadium
on Saturday night. Obviously, it has been great to get
a win, but you know, we're still moving in the
right direction, I think. So here we are now on
this Monday morning, though day whatever that heck it is

(07:39):
of the shutdown, and we've got the city of Omaha
rallying the troops to try and like, all right, we're
getting food together for everybody. Now I have a question
for you, and sorry, we'll have to get to it
next here in just a couple of minutes. But how
is it we expect to do this when we can't
do this, this, or even that. We'll get to all

(08:01):
of that in just two minutes.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Scott News Radio eleven ten.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Kfab We had a good amount of trick or treaters
on Friday night, even though it was cold, and that
included a couple of teenage girls who were dressed as
let's just say they were scantily clad. I don't I
don't think it'd go over real well for me to
finish the sentence what I was gonna say. There, Uh

(08:27):
they were, they were. They were dressed scantily and on
my porch and they were kind of looking around like
I guess they expected my teenage son to answer the door.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
And uh, okay.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yeah, and they didn't ask for him. And my wife
almost was like, hey, son, come down here, there's girls
at the door. Come down. You know. She didn't do
all that, but of course they left. And then after
about a minute, my wife told our teenage so there
are a couple of cute girls that we weren't wearing

(09:04):
very many clothes and they looked cold and they were
at the door. We think they were here for you.
And my sons like cross between play it cool and
why am I just learning about this now? So he
was in that limbo. Anyway, it's a nice time. I
hope you had a good weekend. Two, the former mayor
of Omaha, Jean Stothard, is coming in here to hang

(09:27):
out in the next hour of the program, and we're
taking your questions. Email them to Scott at kfab dot com.
That's Scott at kfab dot com, and we will pepper
the former mayor, with your questions, whether that's related to
her time in office or the actions of the current
city of Omaha. One of the big things they've been

(09:49):
doing here in the last few days is there they
announced this big food drive last week to collect food
for those who have lost access to Snap benefits. I've
already done so many different rants about this. The miniature
version of that is there are certainly those who there,

(10:11):
but for the grace of God go any single one
of us. We could find ourselves in a position we
never thought we'd beat in where we need food to
take care of our family in the short term, and
it's great that we have generosity of the community to
assist with that. We also have people who are gaming
the system and they're super lazy, and we don't need
to hand them Snap benefits, we need to hand them

(10:32):
a job application, and someone needs to cut the umbilical
cord that's been connected to mom for like fifty three years.
There are people like that too. City is just like, look,
we're gonna just get make sure people get the food
they need. So they're doing a food drive and there's

(10:53):
so much food being collected to Food Bank of the Heartland,
and it's in areas all over the community. Some one's
kind of stepping up and doing something. Restaurants, high v
goodwill locations, everyone's going to do the best they can here.
I just wonder though, if some of the people, some

(11:14):
of the people who are on snap benefits and now
realizing like, oh, the government shutdown is impacting my ability
to get the sustenance I need to survive. I wonder
if they're taking this opportunity to see what they can
do to wean themselves off of government, who will let
you down just about every single time if you rely

(11:37):
on them to live and not do government stuff like
protect the borders, which again not always not always the
best effort there depending on who's in charge about it.
When you depend on the government to survive, you're gonna die.
The government's gonna let you down all the time. You're like,

(12:01):
how can you say that this is a big, bloated agency,
And yep, yes, they're too big and bloated. And you
know how you drive around like I like people until
I have to drive amongst you and you drive around town.
You think that guy's an idiot, That guy's drunk. That
person that I'm paying attention, I think that guy's asleep.

(12:22):
That guy seems to be changing his shirt while he's driving.
That guy is what is he eating spaghetti while he's driving?
These people are all terrible. That guy just blew right
through a red light. You know how you drive around
people and you think these people are all morons. Yeah,
they're also voters. So the people representing us are put

(12:43):
there by the people that you don't trust, you don't
want to talk to, even your next door neighbors, your
co workers. These guys are all blethering idiots. Yeah, they
all vote. And that's how we got the representation that
we do no offense members of Congress or whatever. But
that people are like, that's all right, I trust the government.

(13:04):
How why and how do we expect the government to
suddenly feed everybody when we can't even as a society
deal with the clock's going back an hour. Do you
see all the news stories over the weekend. We've got

(13:27):
fallback time, and it's gonna mess up everyone's circadian rhythms,
and they're gonna be cranky and holley and have heart attacks.
And then they'll be too tired and they'll be just
crashing into oncoming traffic because they can't even stay awake
because their clock is off. Haven't any of you people
ever gone to bed like an hour later than you

(13:49):
normally would, or woke up or slept in an extra hour.
Is everyone on this perfect schedule where I go to
bed at this time and I fall right to and
I don't wake up and middle of the night and
I wake up right before my alarm goes off, which
shows I got just amount of sleep, and I wake
up and go ah, ready to tackle the day. Who

(14:10):
does that? What maniacs live this life? We're supposed to
believe that all of us out here anxiety ridden, stressed out,
unable to sleep. I've had people tell me like, well,
if you have a hard time sleeping, you should take melatonin.

(14:31):
And now there's a story that says, hey, there's a
new study that suggests a link between long term melatonin
use to be able to go to sleep at night
and an increase risk of heart failure. But hey, there,
we're just letting you know, maybe we're doing more research
and all that stuff. And many of you be like,
let's see a widow maker heart attack or another night

(14:51):
of no sleep. I'll roll the dice. I need to
get my sleep. It's tough. Remember when you were young
and you could just find like, you know, Grandma's couch
and just curl up and bang your right out. You
could be at a sleepover on that nineteen seventies multi

(15:17):
colored shag carpet. It's just it's rough. It's it's not
providing any cushion, and you go right to sleep. Sleeping
was so easy, and then you get to be an
adult and you're just about to fall asleep, and then
your brain's like, what are you gonna do about your
student loan? You're like, I'm up, geez. You know, it's
it's tough. We can't even sleep, but we're supposed to

(15:40):
pull together all the resources to feed the population. We
can't even deal with the clock's going back an hour.
Clocks went back an hour if it was zombie town
in America except in Arizona. Those guys are like, oh,
do you guys at the clock back? Just try and
remember when you're trying to call us that it's now

(16:01):
two hours at a one hour. I don't know. There's
a new story. There's a news story. This is something
that they put out there to let the population know
that there are some foods you shouldn't eat past their
expiration date. Number one on the list deli meat. This
was a news story apparently, as so many people like,

(16:22):
that's an interesting color of ham. Let's give it a shot.
I'm hungry. I think I put enough expired. Let us
from this bag on the sandwich. Should have probably cancel
out the green ham. It wasn't that a doctor Seuss thing.
That's cute, let's have it. And so we had to
have a news story to tell people not to eat
expired deli meat. How are we supposed to feed the

(16:46):
population when the population is looking at a sell by
date of August twenty eighth and on November third, thinking
it wasn't that long ago. What are we supposed to
How are we supposed to do all this stuff? There's
a news story here says Southwest Airlines said, Hey, we're

(17:08):
gonna serve pistachios in premium seating next year. That's if
you're in premium seating, which I won't apply to most
of us. Who do you think we are, Jim Rose?
You know, so for premium seats Southwest Airlines, you have
the option of eating pistachios.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
But there's hardly any dividers there.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
But what if the person next to you is you've
got a nut allergy, and the fact that you're just
sitting there shoveling pistachios into your nuthole, It's going to
cause people to spontaneously combust. I don't know how do
people go through their lives. How does anyone go through
their lives with the nut allergy? I imagine that they

(17:50):
have steps that they take when they go out in public.
But now suddenly the airplane's going to be a problem.
A Southwest flight is going to be a problem, and
they're just letting people know. And people are boy are
they mad at Southwest? Bags don't fly free anymore. And
my throat's gonna close up thanks to you and your pistachios.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, and too bad, you're not in you know, first
class you get an EpiPen. You don't get an EpiPen
in the bag.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
No, if you're flying coach, you did not get an
epipin I don't think you're allowed to take those things
on the plane. It's a weapon. I think you're allowed
to take those things in the plane. I don't know.
Just like wonder as we're looking at all this going
all right, time to feed everybody. When you look at

(18:42):
the news, you get the impression like no one can
take care of anybody. We can't take care of ourselves.
How are we going to take care of anybody else?
We could barely take We were barely getting through our lives.
We can't sleep, we can't deal with peanuts. The clock
goes back an hour. We all lose our minds. Everyone's

(19:04):
just staggering around, going I can't believe it's November, like
with thirty one days in October, like just snuck up
on us that it's November. We can't we can't even
handle calendars. It weren't gonna feed everybody. Fox News Update
in just a few minutes.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
Scott Vories News Radio eleven ten kfab.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
The six month pilot program has just got it started.
Up on Saturday, November one, by Mayor Ewing. This is
how this works. A six month pilot program to address
homeless encampments, which has two different things that's doing. First, now,

(19:47):
since we're in we're in the program. If you see
a homeless encampment, call the Mayor's hotline four oh two
four four four cool John Ewing. Oh wait, no it's not.
It's four o two four four four five five five
five four four four five. You call it the Mayor's hotlines. Say,

(20:11):
I see one, it's a homeless encampment. What's the difference
between just a collection of homeless people hanging out in
an encampment? I don't know it. Does a shopping cart?
Does that count as an encampment?

Speaker 2 (20:26):
Lean twos?

Speaker 1 (20:27):
It's a blanket, it's a lean to. Yes, they're I
think they're BIV whacking. Are they allowed to do that
in public? Now? It means that they're camping. Oh sorry,
I thought you meant but let us know if they're
doing that though too. So here's what happens. You call
the Mayor's hotline and go I got one. And then

(20:49):
if the encampment is on city property, a ten day
notice to vacate will be posted. They will have ten
days then to move on to non city property where
apparently no one's going to do jack squat. You gotta
get off this property. Why this city property? Where am

(21:09):
I supposed to go fifteen feet that way? Oh? Man?

Speaker 2 (21:14):
So what are public or private property owners going to do?

Speaker 1 (21:18):
Well, there's still I mean, you can't. You're not supposed
to be able to just trespass on on private property.
But if you talk to some of these private property owners,
whether it's businesses where like, well, they're not camping out,
but they're coming in here and they're bothering the customers
and all the rest of this stuff. You call the police.

(21:39):
Then the police come out and say, all right, you
can't stay here, and in rare instances, the police officers
get shot in the face for trying to do that.
Because that's exactly what happened a few weeks ago when
that cop was called out because some guy was ranting
around and bothering people at a gas station. So the

(21:59):
cops like, I'll tell him to move, and he's like,
are you going to move? And the guy pulled a
gun shot the officer in the head. Thankfully, a rather
glancing blow and the officer is going to survive. It's amazing,
But are a lot of people that say, well, you
can't condemn people for being homeless. They're having a tough time,

(22:22):
and what are you supposed to do? Throw them all
in jail you find them, doesn't matter if you find
them three dollars to three million dollars, they don't have
any money. A fine's not going to be effective. So
here's the other part of the pilot program to address
homeless encampments. It's a six month pilot program, which means
it goes through in April, and that means that at

(22:45):
the end of you know, we start talking about this
in February and March, the city can say, look, you've
seen fewer homeless encampments these last couple months, haven't you. Yeah.
It turns out, camping outside, living outside in the month
of January, when it's thirty below and the wind is
howling and there's a foot of snow on the ground,

(23:09):
people don't usually just camp outside in those conditions. So
you will see a lack of homeless encampments, which will
give the city the chance to say, see, we fixed it,
and then it'll crop up again as we get into
the summer months, and they're like, well, it looks like
we need to start that program again next November, and

(23:30):
we'll just be on that cycle forever. And meanwhile, if
someone's living outside on a night where it's dangerous windshill
and you're not allowing the police law enforcement to go
out there and for the person's own good get them
off the streets. How do you feel that's a compassionate
thing to do for anybody? Oh, well, I'm sure they'll

(23:53):
be fine. We'll ask Mayri Stothard about it. She's coming
in here in twenty minutes. By the way. Way. I
don't know if you've noticed this, but the changing of
the calendar now is we're into the fallback daylight. I
never know, and I will. You can tell me whatever

(24:14):
you want. I will never know whether we're in daylight
saving time or standard time. I don't know the difference.
I've looked it up a few times, including yesterday. I
can't commit it to memory. My brain has too many
eighties movie references to figure out what the difference between
standard time and daylight time is. Don't even bother to

(24:34):
email me. I apparently want to live in ignorant bliss
of this. But now that we've had the fallback time
and a lot of people say, well, you know, now
that the days are shorter, that means we're getting into
winter months. Even though this week looks fantastic, we're getting
into winter months. That means that all the TV meteorologists
need to come out here and tell you here's what

(24:56):
I think the winter is going to look like. And
it's amazing. The guys they've almost had the same technology radar, Doppler, radar, AI,
old Farmer's almanac, whatever they're using, Lucy, they've all said
the same thing. They think that the next few months
are going to be cold with a chance of snow.

(25:19):
Wait what I know they're talking about here here on
like Omaha Council Bluffs. Yeah, they think it's going to
be cold. And they say, you know it, we could
get some snow, but probably not like every day. We'll
just get a couple of big snowfalls.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
I want that job.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
I could do that job.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Oh, it's amazing.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
And then the spring, right.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
I don't know if they're using their technology or the
fact that they look at the calendar and go, oh
November November three. Yeah, I think in the next three
months or so, I think it's gonna get colder, and
there'll be some days where it's really cold, and don't
be surprised if we see some snow.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
And maybe even a warm day in there.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
You might even have a warm day in there, usually
the day right before we get a bunch of snow,
which really which my wife calls me saying it's the
last nice day of the year and blowing off any responsibilities.
I have to go out and play golf. Oh but
I only I start doing that in October. I'm gonna
go play golf. Didn't you play golf yesterday? Honey? It's

(26:26):
the last nice day of the year. By the way,
today looks nice. Scott, would you give a total stranger
a kidney?

Speaker 2 (26:39):
You see? I can't answer that in any way. That's
going to make me look bad unless I spend about
an hour with an explanation. So I cannot answer that question.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Okay, we'll put it down as a it's a case
by case basis.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yes, that wors so.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
New contest here kfab dot com slash contest if you
want one of Lucy Chapman's kidneys, right a not more
than three hundred word essay. It's probably the wrong way
of going about it. I'll answer definitively. Would I give
a total stranger a kidney? No, well, that's a worse

(27:18):
well I would, I wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
The answer is far worse than mine.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
I don't know that i'd give a beloved family member
a kidney. In fact, I want a kidney. I want
another kidney. You never know when you might need one.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
I know that's true.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
I just keep one in one of those little red
and white Igloo coolers on ice. If you want to
give me a spare kidney, I'll take it. I do
not I want to. In fact, I need a backup
to the backup. I need more kidneys, and they'll have
them up like hanging up like keys for a valet

(27:54):
parking attendant.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
What's your blood type?

Speaker 1 (27:58):
I asked this because jess See Eisenberg. He's an actor.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Yeah. He wasn't he in the Facebook.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Movie Social Network? Yeah, and then played Lex Luthor in
one of those various magic movies. I think they're making
another Magic movie and he's in those two. Yeah. But
he was talking the other day and he says, yeah,
I don't know how it was that he came to

(28:28):
know that a complete stranger needed a kidney. But he's like,
you can have this one. He says, I'm excited to
donate it. It's scheduled for next month. He is going
to just give a kidney to a stranger because he
says it's essentially risk free and it's so needed. About
one hundred thousand Americans on an organ transplant list and

(28:49):
most of them need a kidney. So he's like, yeah,
I just I only need one, and I'm giving a
kidney to a total stranger. If you need one, I
hope that you're able to get well. I'll say this

(29:09):
in case you're like, Scott, you're being real glib about this.
If you want one of my kidneys, you're gonna have
to wait until I die in such a way that
a kidney is still available. I signed the organ donor thing,
and I know as soon as I say that, Lucy
Chapman's gonna.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Sounds like Lucy has a conspiracy theory.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Once you sign the organ donor card, they're gonna come
for you and start taking just harvesting organs. That's all
they look at. You at just an organ farm. You're
just a walking talking orgon farm, and they're just gonna like,
all right, we don't see a human being there, We
see a couple of kidneys, see a couple of lungs
of pancreas, the dwaddenum and the duodenum, got both, and uh,

(29:54):
just anything we need, we can always take that guy
out and get some organ. Am I on the right track.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Well, I will say that the greatest way to hide
any conspiracy is to make it sound more the most
ridiculous that you can make it sound, which is what
you absolutely accomplished there.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
I'm gonna take whatever you just said as a compliment, but.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
You might as well because it's the best you're going
to get from me today.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
Yeah, I know. Well, Oh good, thank you. That'll been
the nice disclaimer to get an hour ago.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Oh it was true. You should ask me at the beginning.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Sign the organ donor card or if you don't want to, don't.
I don't care. I'm not your mom. But I bet
if your mom needed a kidney, I bet you'd give
her one.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
Sure I would. You can give a kidney and stay alive, Yes,
you can give so I would absolutely do that.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Yeah, you can give just about any I mean, you
could give your heart and stay alive.
