OK, 2025, Lets Do This

Anything ever happen on this date in recent history, January 6th?  We review that before discussing zombie children, the zombie president, and the song "Zombie" by the Cranberries (ok, we didn't do that one, but we probably will someday because somebody has to talk about their tanks and their bombs and their bombs and their guns).

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Lucy Chapman back for the first time in a couple
of weeks here to tell us all about her holidays.
Go good morning, right. Yeah, Lucy never shares any details
with us, but I understand that there was some some
gnawing and sipping involved here over the next That's what

(00:22):
you told me you've been doing for the last couple
of weeks, did.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
I told you? You know what? I'll even take it
a step further. Yeah, my fat pants are now my
regular pants.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
What is the point of having a new Year's goal of,
you know, trying to be healthier and fitness and all
the rest that stuff if you can't kind of Marty
graw your way into it? Isn't that what putting? Yeah,
that's what Marty Graw and lent is all about. And
so yeah, what's the I'm not scared though? Yeah, on

(00:54):
a much more blasphemous point, what's the point of the
Savior dying for our sins if we don't sin a
little bit? I'm talking about the really, really bad ones though,
So don't.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Worry that where you want to be when Jesus comes back.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
That's what I said. It's otherwise he's going to be
watching going really for nothing, and it all for nothing
I die.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Oh you think it will surprise him.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
I died for Scott Vorhees's sins and that guy doesn't
commit a single sin. I don't want to do that
to him. It's like when someone gives you a gift
and you go, oh, oh that's great, you know, and
he can tell that he doesn't like it. He's not
going to use it, he's not going to do anything
with it. I tell you what, when Jesus died from
my sins, he was like, might have to, you know,

(01:38):
do a little extra for this guy, you know, and
he knows. I appreciate it because I sin all the time.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
That's because he didn't leave the receipt in the bag.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
That's right, you couldn't speak it back. Just so glad
to see you, Lucy.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
It's really good to be back.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
What were you doing at midnight on New Year's Eve?

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Yeah? Sleeping? Yeah, I have been for the last several years.
I stayed up, really yeah, and are you glad you did?

Speaker 2 (02:07):
I didn't have to do the morning show on either
New Year's Eve morning or New Year's Days? Oh yeah?
And as such I stayed up because my son said, Dad,
please please stay over at my girlfriend's house till midnight.

(02:28):
I said, I tell you what, if I'm awake, I
will come pick you up.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Wait, just the two of them. You let them stay.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
No, I mean he's over at her house. He's got
all kinds of family, all kinds of family over there.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Youth, I know, so dumb.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah, I know, I know, I know. But so I said,
when I'm ready for bed, I'm going to text you
and let you know that i'm on my way. That
might be at nine thirty, it might be at ten
forty five. So I texted him about eleven thirty and said,
I'm up. I'm gonna kiss your mom at midnight, and
I'll see you at like twelve fifteen. So I was up.

(03:08):
I stayed up till midnight.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
Well it took you a while to drive to his
mom's house.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Isn't that exciting? Well? Yeah, you know, he couldn't find
a girlfriend that lived in the neighborhood, way different, different
school clear down there in Canada. No, you know what
we started doing on New Year's Eve. Now I finally
decided I was ready, and I'll get to the January

(03:35):
sixth story. Here in a moment I finally decided I
was ready after what I thought was about a year
of putting it off, because I've said over the years
on this program, I am an officionado of the television
series Ozark on Netflix, Jason Bateman, Laura Lenny and a
cast of the people who make the worst decisions ever

(03:56):
all the time every episode, and every episode ends with
the cliffhanger of someone's making a terrible decision, and then
you have to watch the next episode. Well, when this
most recent and I understand final season came out, my
wife said, all right, you're ready to do it, and
I said I'm not, because once we start watching it,

(04:17):
I can't stop. It's the only series I've ever really like.
Binge watched fourteen episodes. Each one's about an hour long,
and I have to watch it in about fifteen hours time.
I can't stop. I just want to.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Even the second time you've been through it.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
No, this is the final season, which I still hadn't
watched until on New Year's Eve. I thought, you know what,
my wife isn't feeling well. We weren't going out to
any fancy parties. I said, you want to do this,
you want to get into it. She said, okay, I'm ready.
I said, I'm ready to And so we started the
final season of Ozark and finished it in just a

(04:54):
few days time. And then I said, I can't believe
I waited a year since this final season was released
to start watching it. And I thought, has it been
a year? And I looked it up. That thing came
out three years ago. When did I get on a
water slide that started off with you know, here's life

(05:16):
at the top of the water slide, and then just
wee down the slide with like no concern for the
passing of time. Three years ago felt like nine months
to me.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
I don't know what happened, well, age happened, but you
have to throw in the turmoil in this country. COVID
all kinds of things accelerated everything, at least it felt
like it. Yeah, you have no concept of time anymore.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
I but COVID didn't impact coming back cod Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
I know.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
COVID didn't impact me as it did some people where
their lives were completely disruptive.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
Right.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
My life is I go to work, I go home.
I played golf once in a while. That's pretty much
my life. And I've still been able. I was able
to do that during COVID, So that felt like some
level of being normal to me. Just real quick, for
those who are like, oh, so you're a fan of Ozark,
you finally watched it, what you think about the end
of the series. I'll say this without any spoilers or anything.

(06:18):
I don't know. I don't know. I'm not sure why
they had to do that. I thought maybe, I thought
maybe that was going to happen, but I don't know.
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Wow, you really make me want to watch it?

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Well, I can't say anything without giving any spoilers.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
I can't wait to go see it or to watch it.
I won't watch what's another one that just ended that
everybody's all freaking out about Stone.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Dallas, Dallas, I don't know, Dynasty, knots Landing.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Yeah, I think that's it. I won't watch it.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Alph Cats heats Cats, I kill me. So that was
three years ago this month, when the final season of
Ozark came out. You know what happened four years ago today?

Speaker 3 (07:07):
No? Yes?

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Either, Yes, I do. Welcome to this second Yeah, welcome
to January sixth, twenty twenty five, a day that will
live in either infamy or oh come on, depending on
your political persuasion. Either four years ago was like another

(07:31):
attack on our nation akin to Pearl Harbor and nine
to eleven. And the fact that there are still some
people that want to put January sixth, twenty twenty one
in the same camp as Pearl Harbor and nine to eleven,
I think is absolutely inexcusably disgusting. I know that you

(07:54):
want to cheer for your political side. You want your
candidate your mindset to win. You don't want the other
side it's candidate are mindset to win. But come ah.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
I promise you the people who are related to the
people that are still behind bars because of this, I
promise you they feel like it is their nine to eleven.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Here's the story from the Associated Press as Congress convenes
during a winter storm to certify President elect Donald Trump's election.
The legacy of January sixth hangs over the proceedings, with
an extraordinary fact that the candidate who tried to overturn

(08:36):
the previous election won this time and is legitimately returning
to power. If the election of November of twenty twenty four,
if it didn't teach the Associated Press what the rest
of us already know that January sixth had absolutely no

(08:58):
bearing on anyone vote in favor of Donald Trump. And
it wasn't like, oh, that was nothing, I'm gonna go
vote for Trump. It's like people knew. Trump went out there,
he made a speech. Trump makes like eight speeches a
day with big crowds around him. So he went out
there and made a speech. He didn't tell anybody to

(09:20):
go and do anything. He made some comment about we
got it peacefully and patriotically, you know, work and do
all this said. There was some phrase in there about
fight like hell, and people are like, oh there was
a dog whistle to his people who were going to
go into the Capitol and start roughing everybody up. Did
all Did anyone get into the Capitol? Yeah, a lot

(09:42):
of people got into the Capitol. Did any member of
Congress get roughed up or anything.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
No.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
The only members of whether it's the Congress or whether
it's the executive branch or those who seek it or
that juda branch. The only people who've been threatened or
shot at are all Republicans. But a bunch of people
went in there, largely because there were security at the Capitol,

(10:12):
like opening the doors going, yeah, come on in, you
can come in here, and everyone just kind of went
in there and mostly just walked around and took selfies,
and as such, this is what people put on par
with Pearl Harbor and nine to eleven. So this story
from the Associated Press says, lawmakers will gather at noon

(10:32):
today under the tightest national security level possible. Do you
have too much bile in your system? Would you like
less bile? Think about the notion that exactly what now
Trump's gonna say to his followers, go in there and
fight like hell, which is, by the way, comes up

(10:55):
in the next line of this story from the AP
that Trump's gonna send his people in there to what
not allow Congress to certify the results of the twenty
twenty four election that he won, or that Kamala Harris's
people are going to go in there and work to
not have the results certified or whatever. Yeah, let's take

(11:18):
a listen to an excerpt from a recent speech by
Kamala Harris where she was like, you gotta keep fighting,
you gotta go, you can't give up, you gotta keep fighting.
And she's all whiny and she's like, there's still reason
to live, and people are like, yeah, I know, that's
why I voted for Trump. And so I mean she's

(11:40):
saying the same stuff in her speeches. You've got to
keep fighting, you can't give up, and all that is.
Anyone taking that as her people are gonna go in
to the Capitol Building today and mob the place. They
can't they're too busy cleaning out jewelry stores in San Francisco.
So the tightest national security level possible for what against who?

(12:06):
Even if Antifa went in there and laid waste to
the whole place, guess what, Trump still won the twenty
twenty four election. None of that changes. It's like these
young people that say, yeah, it's a good thing that
that guy murdered that wealthy fat can in charge of
the insurance company. Yeah, well, let's take a look. There

(12:30):
were people who had medical debt before and after the
murder of the CEO of United Healthcare. The murder changed, nothing,
Nothing got changed. You know what else never happened. People
sitting there waiting for a doctor to provide them with
a life saving surgery that the insurance company said no,

(12:53):
we're going to deny the life saving surgery. And the
doctors who swear a hippocratic oath to help are like, Eh,
no one's gonna pay us, so we're gonna let you die,
which never happens. Still, there was a high school that
convened here in the Omaha metro last week that did
a little funny play about the murderer of the United

(13:14):
Healthcare CEO and said that he shouldn't be found guilty
because he was hot. That was an Omaha area high
school event with teenagers involved, like their brains haven't been poisoned.
I'll tell you more about this story from the Associated Press,
including the next line that said Trump sent his mob

(13:36):
to fight, Like hell, wow, this is this is non
biased journalism. We'll get more into this next. Oh, it
is twenty twenty five. Now Gary Sadelemeyer has staggered back
into the studio with the brand new January Union Pacific calendar.
Here he is. Yes, the white smoke is emitting from

(14:02):
our rooftop here at the Gary Sadlemeyer Building at fiftieth
and Underwear Underwood Avenue, and the brand new up calendar
is in here. Now I can look at the calendar
and say, yes, today is Monday, January sixth.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Did he get any extras?

Speaker 2 (14:20):
You have to ask Gary. You know Gary and Jim
have competing calendars here in the studio there, Yeah, we
have two in here. All let go take one right, Well,
you can have gyms. It's a beautiful picture, but the
squares with the dates on them are so small that
I can't read them from across this tiny room. Now

(14:41):
the up calendar, big bold block blue letters against a
big white square, I can easily see that today is Monday,
January sixth, a date that the Associated Press won't let
us forget because four years ago, as it says here,
layers of tall black fence flank the US Capitol Complex

(15:02):
as a stark reminder of what happened four years ago.
Now you're a stark reminder to what happened four years
ago when a and again, this is not a column,
not a talk radio host getting lippy. This is the
allegedly unbiased Associated Press. Now, the reason that that is

(15:23):
so significant is because I don't know if you've noticed,
but a lot of local newspapers and websites they don't
exactly employ a lot of local journalists anymore. So everyone
just grabs the copy from the national Associated Press and
they slap that across their ever thin newspapers that get

(15:44):
smaller and smaller, yet the price goes higher and higher.
So they say, in this allegedly unbiased report, when a
defeated Trump sent his mob to quote like hell unquote
in what became the most gruesome attack on the seat

(16:06):
of American democracy in two hundred years, I'll pause while
you send bile flying across the room. Sent his mob, Yeah,
Trump's mob. Yeah, that mob has been responsible for a

(16:27):
couple of pretty interesting things. Four years ago. I suppose
that some of them went into the Capitol building and
took selfies, and a few of them decided to throw
a chair or something. Oh and then there was the
mob that fought like hell against garbage like this and

(16:48):
sent Trump back to the White House in the November
election of twenty twenty four. It says no violence, protests,
or even procedural objections in Congress are expected this time.
Then why have tall black fencing and tight national security? Oh? Yeah,

(17:08):
because Biden wants to remind people this is the animal
that you're sending back to the White House. So the
only real concern today is whether or not people will
be able to get back to Washington with the snowstorm
that largely missed Omaha. Well, completely missed Omaha. Well, a

(17:30):
lot of this is bearing down on the East coast
and some members of Congress are gonna have a difficult
time getting back. They should be there by now. The
vote on the certifications coming up here. Let's see noons
about an hour and a half time. They should be
there by now.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
It's gonna be really cold in all those khakis.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Yeah, it's gonna be a cold. You're gonna have to
wear the lined khaki pants day. I need a good
pair of lined khaki pants and flannel line khaki pants.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
I know where you can buy him by the lot.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
It's business on the outside and comfort on the inside.
Scott Vorhes lined khaki pants available now wherever you get
lined khaki pants by your mom's house. So Fox News
update on all of this, and then back to the
winter storm that I know everyone was bracing for because
I had the audacity to go and get a couple

(18:23):
of groceries on Saturday before everyone thought we were going
to get hit by a snowstorm on Saturday night and
a Sunday morning. That's all coming up.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Next to Scott Boards News Radio eleven ten k FAD.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
People were really taking a shine to Jake Goodman doing
traffic reports on kfab's morning news while you were gone.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
Jake's a good man.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
Jake is a good man. There are people wondering if
he is a member of the Kennedy family because there
were some problems on Dodge Jake was doing some of
the reports. But now, I I think suffice it to
say a phrase I like to use. I'm not exactly
sure if I had to break down and parse that

(19:07):
phrase what exactly it means. But I think it means
that people are very happy to have Lucy Chapman back.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
I'm very happy to be back.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Here's the only thing I wonder, Oh, boy, is Chuck
McDowell an attorney.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Chuck McDowell is not an attorney.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
He's not, is he Well? I wish they would be
more clear on that, but.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
He might be.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
No, he's not here. That's the Timeshare guy. I am
not an attorney, and I hate attorneys. If I see
an attorney, I'm gonna punch him in a big stupid face.
His attorney face gonna be all mangle courtesy of my
time Share removing from your life fist. I hate attorneys.

(19:53):
You know what? I love about that commercial. It starts
off with the unnecessary disclaimer Chuck McDowell's not an attorney,
and then starts saying saying, I hate attorneys. I'm the
routinist studentist, not sheer removingist, not an attorneyist Chuck McDowell,
and ever Chuck McDowell. So yeah, I just wish they'd

(20:13):
be more clear on this.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
But how many ex wives does he have?

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Oh? No, that's big, Lou, I know he's only on
number two.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Also, not an attorney, no, and he never.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Claimed to be. Here's who I feel really sorry for today, teachers.
Teachers because you have the combination of students who've been
out of school now for over two weeks. And just
to give you an idea of what teachers are dealing
with today, here is a verbatim conversation I had with

(20:44):
my fifteen year old son as I was taking his
lifeless carcass to school this morning. Is he has a
basketball The only reason he got up and got moving
around is because he has a basketball game after school.
But his basketball game is not until six o'clock. But
he's staying at school afterwards. They're going to do a
little shoot around session. And then take the bus over

(21:07):
to this away game for a six o'clock start. So
I said, here's the conversation, son, Do you have everything
you need for basketball today? Do you have everything you
need for school today? You know you have school between
now in the basketball game. Do you have something to eat?

(21:30):
What are you going to eat after school and before
the basketball game, because you're going to need to eat something.
I don't know. Do you want to grab something to
eat now we're leaving the house. No, Well, then what
are you going to eat? I'll figure it out.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
They serve lunch, don't they at school?

Speaker 2 (21:52):
Yeah? But his game's at six and I don't know
if you heard what happened to school lunch in the
way of Michelle Obama's messing around with it, but it is.
It's awful. Yeah, I mean it was real popular. We
are kids complaining about school lunch. I guess I never
complained about school lunch. I thought school lunch was great.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
I always liked it.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
I always liked it. And I've gone to my kids'
elementary schools when they were in grade school and had
lunch with them. It's garbage. It's just terrible. And trust me,
my palate has not become refined since I got older.
If anything, it's gone the other way. I'll literally eat anything,

(22:33):
but it's like a little cup of frozen peaches.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
They're frozen.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Now, Yeah, they're not supposed to be frozen. Oh, they
just haven't thought out all the way. So they got that.
And then some stale vegetable with no dipping saws, like
a couple of hunks of stale cauliflower that are as
dry as the Sahara desert. And then you've got some

(23:02):
bit of raccoon meat or something like that, or some
little chunk of something that's completely in inedible. Yeah, the
nutrient nutria. Yeah, they got some sort of New Orleans rat,
you know that they're serving, and there's always some Cajun kid.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
Like, isn't that bad?

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yeah, it's terrible. It's terrible. And you know, so most
of the kids will bring their lunch to school now
they don't want to eat this stuff. And the amount
of ways that goes into the trash bins is just
it's it's amazing. It's got to be unprecedented, the amount
of ways that goes from the tray into the trash
bin in our nation schools, it's got to be costing

(23:43):
us bazillions of dollars an hour. It's so much. These
kids don't eat, they can't eat this stuff, and as
such they get hungry. And so if you've got some
sort of sports practice after school, if you don't bring
a snack or some food or something, you're going to
be passing out there on the court or the field

(24:04):
or the diamond or whatever because you haven't had enough
calories for the day. And, by the way, the same
lunch that the fourth grader gets, the same lunch the
eleventh grader knows tackle on the football team gets. And
it's not enough food, not enough calories. So my son
says he'll figure it out. Now we're in the car
and I'm driving thinking, you know what, I'm content just

(24:26):
to let him starve to death, as any good parent
would think.

Speaker 3 (24:31):
What time are you going up there?

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Oh? Is he? By the way, let's let's just check
off the list. Here is he wearing his coat?

Speaker 3 (24:39):
No?

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Oh god, no sucks, who knows, I'm not looking at
that kid's dogs, So no coat.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
So at least it's long pants.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yeah, and this is after my wife, who was and
it hopefully still is sleeping. She he said last night,
he said, please on our marriage. The only thing that
I'm asking of you is tomorrow morning, when you're taking
our son to school, make sure he's wearing his coat.
So we're going to school, he doesn't have his coat on.

(25:11):
I'm not going to have that battle. Besides, he's just
walking from the car to the school. He'll make it.
He's not gonna, I don't. I think, I don't know.
He'd probably wander off. He was so comatose this morning
when I dropped him off. So we're back to the subjective.
Does he have food or something to eat before his game?

(25:34):
Now we're back in the car and I'm deciding to
press the issue. I said, let's review the basics. Will
you need to eat something before your basketball game? And
he says, I got something. Okay, Wait a second, two
minutes ago in the house, you didn't have anything, You
didn't have a plan. You say, you're gonna figure it out. Like,
what do you mean you guys me? Mom put a

(25:56):
protein bar in my backpack. Oh so you do have
something to eat? Yeah, And now he's annoyed, like, remember
a minute ago, I asked if you had something to
eat and you said no. Now, amazingly the answer has changed,
and yes, do you really have something? Are you just
trying to tell me something to get me off of

(26:17):
your back?

Speaker 3 (26:18):
You see, you have not raised your kid right at all.
He totally screwed this up because you're so concerned about
him eating, and he didn't say to you. You know what, Dad,
You're right, I'm gonna have to have a much better meal.
And a bunch of the guys are going right after
school to go to some sandwich shop, and I'm gonna
need some extra cash. Can you possibly give me some money?

(26:42):
I know it, I would have done.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
I was actually waiting for that. Oh okay, and I
was prepared to give him some money. There is a
convenience store in proxident and close proximity to his school.
Smart move by the convenience store right that Casey is
on his so I. By the way, your phrase there

(27:06):
that you have not raised your kid right at all
is an accurate statement if you take the word right
out of it, Well, you have not raised your kid
at all. No, I know that's oh, I see okay,
that's his mother's Jim. I'm here making all this dough.
She's raising the kids. That's why the kids are are

(27:27):
very nice kids, despite my tarnishing of their reputation on
the radio. Hey, if I don't have a good reputation
and anyone else in my family with the same last
name shouldn't enjoy. Oh that reminds me. Some guy sent
a University of Nebraska Lincoln College yearbook to the radio

(27:49):
station to Jim Rose last week. So it's gone, Jim,
where'd you put that yearbook? I don't know around here somewhere. No,
So Jim gives me the yearbook and a note is
attached to it from a longtime listener of news radio
eleven ten kfab who has always enjoyed this programming up
until about the last seven or eight minutes. But he

(28:12):
sends a unl college yearbook. The date of the yearbook
nineteen twenty four. He said, since your radio station turned
one hundred years of age here recently, a celebration will
be celebrating still in twenty twenty five. For as long

(28:34):
as I say we're celebrating it. I thought maybe you'd
like to see what some of your first listeners look like.
Here's some of the college age kids at dear old Nebraska.
You so being hilarious and a little commentary on how
far we've come as a society. I opened up the
yearbook just to a random page, and I said, hey,

(28:55):
where are all the black students at Anyway, there was
also a note on the yearbook, and this guy said, Jim,
I wanted you to have this and share it with
your cohorts there at KFAB except Scott Vorhees, because and

(29:17):
then this guy starts telling this tale about how the
Vorhees family cheated him, cheated his family out of hog
money back like a hundred some years ago. My family
had been running banks out in central Nebraska, and this

(29:41):
guy's family had been running hog operations out in central Nebraska,
doing business with the bank in beautiful Edgar, Nebraska, which
I hope still has that wonderful place where we can
get candy. And so was at the it's not the
shake Shack, but it's got some really cute name, like
that sugar Shack. I think, yeah, they got the like

(30:03):
the song sugar Shack at the Sugar Shack was a
great old song. So they got the sugar Shack and
Edgar they also had a bank that was once upon
run by a guy whose last name was Vorhees, and
so this guy sends us note and said, Scott Vorhees
grandpappy cheated my grandpappy out of hog money because they

(30:26):
closed up that bank and cut ties and left town
in the middle of the night and took everyone's money
with him.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
Did they do that?

Speaker 2 (30:32):
I said, whoa, That was not my grandfather, my grand
That was like my grandfather's nephew. This was his brother's son.
And uh and that riffed in the family. Not only
lost you know, this guy who sent the yearbooks family money,

(30:54):
but you know who else what other family lost a
bunch of money in that little situation. My family.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
This was a family member.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
Oh yeah, okay, yeah, it would be my great uncle's son,
I guess. And so my grandfather had already left still
had some tie to the bank, and Edgar maybe a
little bit, but it was running a bank in a
nearby community that for that whole time was always on

(31:22):
the up and up, did great stuff there for the
people around Harvard, Nebraska. And there was still a Varhees
who was running it up until I don't know, ten
or so years ago when he sold it to a
different banking group. And so now my family doesn't run
that bank. Anymore. But I said, how dare you, sir,
try and tarnish my family's good name. If anyone is

(31:44):
going to ruin my family's reputation, it's going to be
me or your kids or my kids. So the teachers.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
Twenties money couldn't be much. You just run them a check.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Well, not if we're adjusting for inflation. By the way,
speaking of inflation, you worked a minimum wage job today? No,
and when you were a teenager too, So how much
were you making minimum wage when you were a teenager
growing up here?

Speaker 3 (32:09):
The smallest I seem to remember too something, but I
definitely remember three twenty five.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
Yeah, I was doing four to twenty five, coming along
just a couple of years after you, and I was
really happy to have it. It was more than I'm
making now. Minimum wage now thirteen fifty as of New
Year's Day, and next year goes up to fifteen dollars
an hour. And we wonder why costs of goods and services,
especially at fast food joints and all the rest of
that stuff, Why everything's so expensive.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
Yeah, you're going to see a lot more closures, I think.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Yeah, so teachers are going to have to put up
today with zombie children who not only been out of
school now for two weeks, their schedules are all over
the place, staying up all night listening to their you know,
Huey Lewis and the news, teeny bopper music, and sleeping
all day. Now they have to get up and go
to school, so the teachers have to deal with that.

(33:00):
And these kids thought on Saturday that it would probably
be a snow day today, and then yesterday they were
holding out hope there was going to be a cold
day as it was. I don't know if you looked outside,
since yesterday morning we didn't get any snow here. I'll
tell you who did next.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Scott Voice.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Friday morning, I was on here giving the weather updates,
saying we're looking at one to three inches of snow
for the Omaha Metro and it could be since we're
on the northern edge of this could be closer to
the low end. And nailed it. It was closer to nothing.
We got a slight flurry and that was it. And

(33:48):
I feel like I don't want to complain about it,
but at the same time, if it's going to be
January and it's going to be this cold, we might
as well have snow.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
Everybody was Nobody was sure. I guess there's a better
way of saying nobody was sure. No meteorologists were sure
about what was going to happen.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
They were saying that right well, they were saying, you
know they we're on the northern edge of this. We're
seeing what turns out our air was too dry. Consult
with your knuckles to see how dry the area is
around here. It's really funny and confirmed. If you are
not moisturizing right now, you hate your life. But here
in Omaha, we didn't get anything. Lincoln was preparing for

(34:34):
a lot more snow, only got about an inch. Then
you go south of there, like Beatrice, Fairbury four to
six inches, Fall City, Nebraska. Down there in the south,
tucked into the southeast corner of Nebraska, sixteen inches of
snow in fall City. That would be the second biggest

(34:54):
snowfall of all time, behind seventeen inches back in early
March of nineteen fifteen. Darn global warming. And then you
go south of there, there was eighteen inches of snow
in northeast Kansas and then ice around Kansas City. That
delayed the Chiefs from getting to Denver so they could

(35:17):
get the whooped by the Broncos as they expected, sitting
out all their starters. Lucy, you could have played for
the Chiefs yesterday. They weren't playing anyone.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
Of note, missed the whole game.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Scrub game. Yeah, so the Chiefs. So we did get
a whole bunch of snow. But I was saying, like
south of Omaha, you can expect a lot of snow.
It was pretty well south of Omaha. But we got
a lot of snow, Lucy chabin us here and Justin
Trudeau is out. The phrasing here is Trudeau resigns as
head of Canada's Liberal Party. Well, but does that mean

(35:52):
he's no longer prime minister? So he will then step
down once his party replaces him. And according to our
friend John Androssic five for fighting, he put out a
song here recently about the Prime minister of Canada saying,
whatever we do, please, let's find a prime minister who

(36:13):
has played hockey, and then made fun of Justin Trudeau
as a pretty boy who has never played hockey. And
Canada deserves a leader who has played hockey. So we'll
see about that, all right. There's a little breaking news
here just into our ten o'clock hour. That's pertaining to
the leader of Canada. We have a president of the

(36:36):
United States. Who's that great question? We've been wandering it
for years, but with one foot out the door, which
has been out that door. Now since last summer at
least President Biden has taken a couple of acts. Here,
oh who else got pardoned? Now, this isn't about pardons.
This is about a little bit of executive pen and

(36:59):
a phone action by the president before he leaves. As
you heard a moment ago from Fox, President Biden is
taking a last minute step to push back on climate
change by banning offshore oil and gas drilling in most
federal waters. This is something that was actually set up

(37:22):
in nineteen fifty three. It covers more than six hundred
and twenty five million acres of water off of the
Atlantic Coast as well as the eastern Gulf of Mexico
and then up at a portion of the Burying Sea
off of Alaska up by where Sarah Palin can sive
Vladimir Putin's house, the Pacific Coast off of California, Oregon,

(37:44):
and Washington, and this would say that drilling off of
these coasts is shut down. Well, one thing, we haven't
been drilling in this area. And there you know, I
know President Trump is a big drill baby drill kind
of a guy. But Trump didn't And and let me

(38:10):
know if I'm wrong here, But based on what I've
been able to look at here in relation to the story,
during the four years he was president, Trump didn't drill
or authorize drilling in any of these waters. So what
what Trump? And And by the way, it's also noted
here by CNN that well, Biden says we can't drill

(38:33):
in these waters. Well couldn't Trump just come in here
in a couple of weeks and say yes, we can
and overdo the executive action? Well, they said it's it's
not going to be easy for him to do. It
might have to go to the Supreme Court. But let's
go back to the first thing that has happened here.

(38:56):
Trump didn't drill in these waters. Didn't and Trump doesn't
drill anything, But he didn't open up any of these
waters for drilling during his time as president. That then
Biden shut down. Biden is leaving office after four years
and does something that's so incredibly important that he couldn't
have done it four years ago. But by the way,
he didn't need to do it four years ago because

(39:17):
this is part of the nineteen fifty three Outer Continental
Shelf Lands Act that already covers these waters. So if
I can just boil all this down for you, it
seems to me that Biden just said today is Monday

(39:42):
and there's nothing that Trump can do about it. And
Trump said, I don't disagree with you that today is Monday.
In fact, during the time I was in office, we
always noted on Monday that it was Monday. No, you didn't,
pal you are a threat to Monday. And I'm declaring
right now that today is Monday. And I'm not arguing

(40:04):
with you. You can't because I just declared today is Monday.
So I don't know that what the what President Biden
has just done does anything in terms of drilling. There's
still huge portions, I mean, essentially almost all of the

(40:29):
Gulf of Mexico where the drilling happens is still open
for drilling. So not sure. By the way, it's not
just in the ocean waters where you can drill, by
the way, so I don't know that this is going
to stop any kind of resumed domestic energy independence that

(40:51):
Trump so quickly enjoyed during his time as president with
his energy policies. I don't know that this changes any
of that, because he doesn't. Trump doesn't seem to have
done anything about these waters when he was president. But
Biden wants to shut them down anyway, and the reason
he gives is climate change. Okay, So if we're not
drilling in these waters, and if we've never drilled in

(41:12):
these waters, the fact that we're still and you guys
say we have horrible climate change and that's why we
can't drill in these waters, Well, how do we get
climate change if we're not drilling here? And how will
climate change be impacted at all if we continue not
to drill there?

Speaker 3 (41:31):
If this can't be logical for another three weeks.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
I'm two weeks try, Yeah, two weeks is two weeks
from the day is Inauguration day? You know I'd planned
on taking my little winter Foura to lands south of here.
That's right, I was going to go to Plattsmouth. But
then I looked at the counter, as like January twentieth,
I can't be gone for inauguration day. There's no telling
what happen on inauguration Day. And so I'm definitely going

(41:58):
to be here for that. So maybe later in the month,
I don't know, maybe I just stay here every day.
That's not gonna happen. But so so Trump Biden just
did something that apparently will have absolutely zero impact on anything,

(42:18):
and what a boil it right down to one action
that's so emblematic of his administration. Kind of action here
by Joe Biden. But that's not all he did. Now,
yesterday he just told more than two and a half
million retired Americans, these are former teachers, former firefighter, former

(42:38):
police officers, that you are getting a nice bump in
your Social Security benefits. Now, that's nice for them. Go
ahead and pull out your bowl of wheaties right now,
so I can relieve myself in them. What I'm wondering

(42:59):
is a lot of the people who are former teachers, firefighters,
police officers, don't you have a pension, so now you've
got an increase in your Social Security Now. It says
here that this is the windfall Elimination provision that pared

(43:20):
down social Security benefits for a couple million people who
get pension or disability benefits from employment where social Security
payroll taxes were not withheld. So the government pension offset
reduces social Security benefits for an estimated seven hundred and
fifty thousand spouses, widows, widowers who also get income from

(43:44):
their own government pensions, and this increase will help all
of them.

Speaker 3 (43:55):
Sounds like you got government speak in the world.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
So wait a second. People who didn't pay into Social Security,
who have their retirement set up by pension or and
or disability benefits from unemployment and didn't pay into Social Security, Okay,
now get an increase an estimated average of three hundred

(44:20):
and sixty dollars per month increase in Social Security benefits,
which will be an increase from zero. It sounds like
for a lot of these people, no one's going to
be able to like go nuts and go three hundred
and sixty dollars. Wooo, what gold plated yacht should I buy?
You know?

Speaker 3 (44:37):
But you're right, it's not. But do you have to
have had you have to have a pension, or you
have to prove that you've been on disability? Is that
what I'm understanding.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
Here's what the president of the the International Fire Association
Union says, Edward Kelly says, we've righted a forty year
wrong specifically for he's talking about this three quarters of
a million surviving spouses of firefighters who they worked and
paid their quota into Social Security but were victimized by

(45:13):
the government pension system. Okay, I don't know that. I'm
willing to argue that if you paid into Social Security
with the expectation that some of this would be coming
back to you. But ay, your husband had a pension
and maybe some unemployment disability benefit that you also get,
So therefore we're not going to give you your Social

(45:33):
Security that all right? Yeah, that's fine. We're talking about
seven hundred and fifty thousand people or so. What about
the two million people who didn't pay into Social Security
through no fault of their own. It's not like they
decided we're not going to pay But they had a
job teach your firefighter police, they had a job where

(45:54):
Social Security payroll taxes were not withheld. That's when I
say they didn't pay in this Social Security because this
is how their their benefits were set up. They got
a pension, which I would hope would be a lot
better than Social Security. So suddenly we're going to give
them social Security? Okay, social Security a program that's already

(46:19):
insolvent as long as we keep doing what we're doing
and we don't continue deficit spending to fund this entitlement program.
And I know people get mad when I say an
entitlement program, not entitlement. I paid into this, I want
to come in back. Fine, but it's commonly known as
an entitlement program. As long as we keep doing what
we're doing, we have too many people who will beginning

(46:42):
it and not enough people paying in. That means their
money runs out. So now we've just given more people
who didn't pay into it money. Where does this money
come from? And most importantly, what does this mean from
my Social Security? Even because exactly I want some and

(47:05):
Lucy want some when we get there, I'm not planning
on my Social Security being my retirement and no American should.
That's not why it was set up. We could probably
have a good old fashioned conversation about why it was
set up and what it was supposed to mean. Basically,
I'll boil it down in the only way I can.

(47:26):
It was just going to be something just like better
than nothing, like, Hey, this is better than a swift
kick in the groin, here's some money back. And it
was politically popular and people are like, it's great, thanks,
And that's back when it was set up, when the
average lifespan for an American was forty eight years old

(47:47):
something forty eight. I don't know, you got married at thirteen.
If you lived into your thirties, you were wise and
you had a really long beard.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
W what were we on the high planes?

Speaker 2 (47:58):
Yes, but now everything's changed. Let's find a few more
examples of that. And we still have this social security
set up. And how about going back to the original question,
what in the name of all that is good and
holy is the government's role in doing any of this? Well,

(48:22):
we wanted your money so we could start to you know,
accruing interest on it, and then pay a slight portion
of that back to you. We don't want you to
keep it and put it your retirement account so you
can accrue interest on it. Say we're going to take it.
We're going to do that, and then we'll give you
a little bit back.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
And that's why they're involved. And that's why they have
to stay involved, because they started this. They have to
fix it.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
Who stood up? Where was rand Paul back then, you know,
one hundred some years ago, to say, hey, This is
not a function of government. They shouldn't be you, we
shouldn't be doing this. Ron Paul was alive then, wasn't he?
Why how come he didn't do it? How come Elon
Muskin if ak Ramaswami didn't do anything.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
About this, well, they weren't here.

Speaker 2 (49:06):
Yeah, and what are we doing now? That's gonna look
completely acid on and it can be completely insolvent here
in the next hundred years. Oh, everything, including what President
Biden just did about giving people who didn't pay into
Social Security social Security from a program that is bankrupt.
Two weeks can't get here fast enough.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
Scott Voice News Radio eleven ten kfab.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Now, you made an offhand comment earlier about I said
something the pandemic in you said, and we got another
one coming up? Are you talking about not HPV? That's
something different. They're calling it h MPV, which will quickly

(49:54):
get kill us all, which will quickly hit confused.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
They just stand on red dots at the grocery store.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
It'll get confused with HPV. HPV is well, Lucy wanted you.

Speaker 3 (50:08):
Plus the glass will save us from it from HPV?

Speaker 2 (50:12):
Could it could? HPV is largely transmitted through intimate contact
and can lead in some cases to cervical cancer or
guys looking down and going, what the heck? You know,
so that's that's HPV. This is what, not what China

(50:34):
is dealing with. This is h M p V, the
human metaymovirus, pneumona virus, numa virus.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
Like the cold or a flu or you know, the
flu is a respiratory illness.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
Yes, as is r s V, which has always been here.
But when it was fashionable to say look at all
these cases of RSV, people are like, oh no, never
mind the fact that you know, the year prior to that,
we had the same number of people with RSV, but
now you had more moms taking their little kids to
the emergency room, going, my kid's got COVID. No, they

(51:15):
just have RSV RSV. What's that? Well, it's a pretty
common respital or I don't think respital is the word.
It's a common respiratory virus that most kids you know get,
and you probably they've had it every year. You just
thought they had a cold, maybe something we call the flu.
It isn't technically influenza, but whatever, Well, see if all

(51:36):
this sounds familiar, Uh, they have a respiratory disease where
symptoms include cough, fever, running nose, sore throat. What doesn't
have symptoms that include cough, fever, running nose.

Speaker 3 (51:53):
Sometimes covid, Yeah, covid. Sometimes it doesn't have any symptoms
at all.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
RSV, the flu, uh, the cold, common cold. How are
you supposed to know the difference? Well, right now, Pfizer
is like, we'll tell you, We'll tell you exactly, you know,
we will. We will happily come up with something. We're
just gonna need enough money to build our own space station.

(52:20):
So that's what they're dealing with in China. But in
China they say that these cases of h MPV let
me try the pronunciation again. Human meta numa virus has
been surging in the northern part of China, North China,

(52:44):
especially among children. And here's the only part that scares me.
Chinese health officials are downplaying talk of a pandemic. We're doomed.
We are absolutely doomed. So you got that I have
to look forward to and how long until it spreads here?
We can't swear in Trump because right now if people

(53:06):
are rooting.

Speaker 3 (53:07):
Well there are, they're on a very tight schedule. They
got two weeks. I got to get it over.

Speaker 2 (53:11):
Here, no problem. Two weeks might as well be an
a turn it Well.

Speaker 3 (53:14):
Last time it was two weeks to stop the spread,
So two weeks to start.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
Start to spread. Yes, excellent. Lucy just to do something
that I really haven't done to this point in the show,
and that is read a whole lot of emails. That's right,
drunkle Scott is going to read emails here on news
radio eleven ten KFAB. The first one comes via the
Zonker's custom woods inbox Scott at kfab dot com. Terry says, Scott,

(53:43):
you are the king of segue. Wasn't that a song
by the Police. I'll always be the King of Segue.

Speaker 3 (53:53):
I'm not familiar with that song, but I know that
there is a product on the market that has something
along those lines of a jingle.

Speaker 2 (54:01):
No, no, there was a little black spot on the
sun today. I am the king of Segue.

Speaker 3 (54:08):
Well, let's stand corrected.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
Yeah, or so, this was Terry's assessment of the first segment.
He says, I was drawn in when it seemed to
Lucy was going to actually share her holiday adventures. Of
course she didn't, but somehow swerved into saying her fat
pants were now her normal pants, which is a phrase
that you uttered on this program. It is about an

(54:31):
hour and a half.

Speaker 3 (54:32):
I'm hungry. I'm hungry. I'm hungry.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
You look great. You've always looked great, you always will
look great, and that's not some Oh. I know you've
packed on a few hundred pounds, but you know what,
you look great. You are amazing.

Speaker 3 (54:49):
I am just looking forward to the next couple of weeks,
just getting this stuff off as we get back to normal, right,
I mean, I'd like to take more off, but you know,
just normal.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
Can I have it? Terry says the next thing, I know,
you're using Marty Graws as a verbs in we Marty
graw our way into the holidays, and then, in a
move I truly didn't see coming, we start discussing our
Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Well done, Scott, and welcome back, Lucy.
That's from Terry said to Scott at kfab dot com.

(55:19):
I'm not going to repeat how JC became part of
the conversation, but it had to do Yeah, it had
to do with all of the sinning I do, and
I do that because well, here's basically what it was
Jesus died from my sins, and it would be it
would be like regifting if Jesus got me something and

(55:43):
I didn't use it. That's why I sin so much,
not as much as I used to. Let me tell
you what a giver I am.

Speaker 3 (55:51):
Oh boy.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
The other day I go into I mentioned that I
had the audacity to try and go into the grocery
store and get a few things on Saturday. This is
when everyone thought Snowmageddon was coming to the Omaha metro
and so everyone on Saturday afternoon was at High.

Speaker 3 (56:07):
V at the eggs.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
I decided, I decided the soup aisle was especially crowded.
Everyone had seeming like they had a shopping cart and
a stroller, and then just random kids all over the place.
And of course you can't go anywhere these days without
your dog. And then there's people on like a motorized scooter,
and so everyone is now stuck in the in the

(56:32):
soup aisle at High V. I'm just crawling over people
like I just need a cream of mushroom soup. I'm
gonna put something in the crock pot this weekend, and
I didn't. It was great, So oh yeah, so I
get to the aisles that aren't as as packed as
my wife needed some healthy thing. Well, no one's in there,

(56:54):
so I'm in there. And walking directly in front of me,
with a slow little saunter to her step, was a
young woman twenties wearing the tightest Did someone just fall.

Speaker 3 (57:13):
Down our news department?

Speaker 2 (57:15):
All right? Yes, all right, sorry to bring that up.
This young, aesthetically pleasing girl of co ed age is
wearing some yoga pants that are so tight she might
as well just been wearing nothing. And I'm walking behind her,
and I I noticed.

Speaker 3 (57:37):
Is this the show of Confessions?

Speaker 2 (57:39):
Yeah? I noticed? I mean I noticed, like, hey, there
it is? How about that? And I thought, I can't.
I'm already my gait is faster than hers. So I'll
tell you what what am I going to do here?
I thought the only polite thing to do was return

(58:03):
the favor, So I walked in front of her in
your yoga pants so she could check out the eye candy.
I did that for her.

Speaker 3 (58:14):
I see, did you get the results you wanted or
the reaction that you wanted or did you not really
want a reaction?

Speaker 2 (58:23):
I you know, Lucy, when you give a gift to
somebody and expect something in return, Then you truly haven't
given a gift to somebody. I expect that she enjoyed
the show free of charge, after all.

Speaker 3 (58:37):
I expect she was more interested in the soup.

Speaker 2 (58:39):
Saturday afternoon. I had no place to go. I was
wearing some basketball pants. So, and by the way, when's
the last time you've played basketball in those basketball pants? Hey,
why don't you stay out of this? And so? I? Yeah,
I think she's probably somewhere on her radio show telling
the exact same story.

Speaker 3 (59:00):
You know that is actually possible in an alternate universe. Yes,
hot tub time machine.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
That's right. Why they didn't have John cusack Ski the
K twelve in that it is? They lost? They missed
a huge opportunity.

Speaker 3 (59:18):
Did I just I didn't know them?

Speaker 1 (59:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (59:21):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (59:22):
More emails Scott at kfab dot com. This is from
an anonymous listener in the healthcare business. Now you're gonna
like this. Okay, he's or she says, I heard you
talking about the human metamo. I said it correctly. I
think one time h MPV the human meta pneumovirus on

(59:47):
the air. This is what's going around China. It's it's
a coronavirus. Not the coronavirus like an RSV. It's a
respiratory virus. Five years ago. At this time, I'm sure
I was saying, oh, probably nothing to worry about, and
then life changes. We know it. But as I said
a moment ago, the only thing that scares me about

(01:00:08):
this one is Chinese health officials saying, oh, there's nothing
to worry about. Like great, we're doomed anyway. This guy says,
I heard you talking about that, yeah, or she says,
I just want to clarify. This virus has been around
a long time. People have contracted it for years. The
heightened spikes in it come from higher testing since respiratory viruses,

(01:00:32):
or higher testing on respiratory viruses since COVID, which likely
didn't happen as often. This virus is generally just a
common cold, and it's more fear mongering.

Speaker 3 (01:00:44):
Yes, what the common cold is reaping havoc on China?

Speaker 2 (01:00:49):
Mm hmmm huh. And there's this this email, Dear Scott,
I think President Biden should nuke Moscow on his last office.
Missiles should be on their way while Trump is being
sworn in. I don't know about you, but I'd rather
be incinerated in a flash than suffer a long, painful

(01:01:12):
death because of Trump's climate policies. Signed Karen Whitey mcmiddle,
aged liberal white woman face all right. I don't know
that she will. I hope she can still email.

Speaker 3 (01:01:24):
Do the research, look at the ice over the last
hundred years. That's what they use mostly. You'll be all right.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
And there's this email that said it's true Trump didn't
drill anything. Sign Stormy Daniels.

Speaker 3 (01:01:40):
Did you actually just read that email?

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
This email comes from Dave says I spent several hours
on Friday night because I'm extremely slow and had to
take the occasional deadly cocktail break, preparing my snowblower for
the upcoming winter blizzard over the weekend. It was ready
to go by Saturday, as were you, as you right

(01:02:03):
as usual. This advanced preparation prevented any snowfall whatsoever. You're welcome,
Signed Dave, Dave. I think that was you. Thank you, Dave.
Let's all say thanks to Dave.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Thank you, Dave.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
Thanks Dave and anyone else who did the same thing, like, oh,
we're gonna get a bunch of snow by Sunday morning.
I gotta make sure, my snowblower is ready to go.
I have a snowblower, which is kind of like not
having a snowblower because it pretty much works when it
wants to. It's the gym. It's the Jim Rows of snowblowers.

(01:02:38):
I mean, it's there, but is it really doing the job.
Otherwise it's just this little red thing sitting over there.
But when it works, it's really loud. In fact, that
seals it. My snowblower is now named Jim Rose. And
when I fired up, it goes y y y y
y y yeah yan, and it starts growing snow all

(01:03:00):
over the place, indiscriminately blasting snow. But when the snowblower works.
I don't have some like long driveway that curves down
a hill and goes into the passageway and then comes
up here around the house where it's got one of
those turnaround driveways where no one ever has to back

(01:03:22):
out of anything. I just got a standard West Omaha
two car garage driveway, a nice little hill, not enough
that it causes a lot of problems, just enough that
it makes shooting from one side of the driveway towards
the basketball hoop a little different. Than shooting from the.

Speaker 3 (01:03:39):
Other side, you're shooting your driveway.

Speaker 2 (01:03:41):
Basketballs oh hooping. So I don't have like an incredible
huge driveway to blow snow off of. So when the
snowblower works, I do my driveway. That takes a couple
of minutes, and then I'm just looking around like I'm

(01:04:02):
ready to blow off the entire street. I know the
neighbor two doors down she doesn't. One year, I thought, well,
she doesn't have a snowblower, I'm gonna go blow off
her driveway. And it turns out that really upset the
guy who was paid to come and blow off her
driveway to taking money out of his pocket, and so

(01:04:23):
I had to apologize to that guy. I was like,
I just wanted to keep blowing snow. It's great. I
know right now you're gonna email me goes scot you
come over my house. I'm not gonna put a wet,
dripping snow snowblower in the back of my car and
come to your house for free. So I I was
also I was kind of looking forward to blowing some snow.

(01:04:44):
I wasn't yesterday morning, like I said, if it's gonna
be this cold, we might as well have snow. It's
not like can go out and do anything.

Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
I guess there is something to that, because we have
to get snow. If we don't have any snow, then
we're just gonna be all yelling about the drought.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
Yeah, well, which you know, I'd rather have snow. I
guess we're gonna get some snow at some point. But
I mean again, I I harkened back to our childhoods
We had snow every winter. We had a lot of
it every winter. I lived in a cul de sac

(01:05:20):
and they pushed all the snow into a giant pile
in the middle of the circle and we would just
play on that pile of snow that wouldn't melt until
sometime in April, and it was great.

Speaker 3 (01:05:32):
I don't know this for sure, but I would think
that for every person that can say that, and I
can say it too, when we were growing up we
had snow all the time, there is another person that
can say, Gosh, when we were growing up, we never
had snow like this. And it's consistent over the over
the years. Yeah, the other places are getting more snow
than they did in the seventies or the eighties of

(01:05:52):
the nineties, it's just it's just weird weather pattern.

Speaker 2 (01:05:57):
It's just weird though, I know. But the fact that
these kids, if they get a chance to go sledding
and play in the snow, a bill of snowman, it's
a rarity for us. It was the entire period between
Thanksgiving and Saint Patrick's Day.

Speaker 3 (01:06:13):
Because they hadn't protected or they hadn't perfected harp yet.

Speaker 2 (01:06:18):
I think it's the styrofoam boxes.

Speaker 3 (01:06:21):
I think it's hard.

Speaker 2 (01:06:21):
It's all the Chinese takeout you got in styrofoam boxes.
You ruined the ozone layer camp trails and the poison
cam trails and all the rest of it. Yeah, reading email,
Reading emails is fun.

Speaker 3 (01:06:33):
Articles in fog, I haven't. I saw that over while
I was gone. You saw what particles in the fog? No?

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
You didn't. That was Those are the flurries we had
on Saturday.

Speaker 3 (01:06:42):
I didn't actually see them myself, but I saw them
on X.

Speaker 2 (01:06:45):
Particles in the fog is my favorite Doors song.

Speaker 3 (01:06:48):
It is a great band name.

Speaker 2 (01:06:50):
No, it's it's a song an album title. No, that
was the Doors. Articles in the fog.

Speaker 3 (01:07:00):
A little off.

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
Articles in the.

Speaker 3 (01:07:02):
Fog, But I saw them.

Speaker 2 (01:07:05):
My homes, my home sounds like a frog bum bum.

Speaker 3 (01:07:09):
I saw one d in the fog. I saw one
video that actually had what looked like little bugs swarming.
And I looked at that and said, well, that's a
bunch of not trueness.

Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
Watch your mouth, I said.

Speaker 3 (01:07:23):
Not trueness, that's a bunch of lies. What So I'm
not a complete I believe anything I see. I don't.
I don't. I don't believe stuff I even see man
personally firsthand.

Speaker 2 (01:07:37):
We had to get it all out here. In one segment.
You're spouting crazy conspiracy theories. I'm singing, We're back, We
are back, twenty twenty five, Scott does where you're going?
On January sixth, twenty twenty five, this might be my
favorite email of the year. Not to say stop sending
me emails the rest of the year, but I think
Tory has got it here. I said, Scott, I had

(01:07:59):
a baby one month ago. He was born at eleven
ten PM. His name is Scotty. I'm not saying he's
named after you, but with that time of birth, maybe
he is. I've been waiting for you to be back
from your holiday break so I could listen to my
favorite show while on maternity leave. Well, Clay and Bucker,

(01:08:21):
Oh is she talking about this show? She's talking about
this toy course, Tory. I can't wait to meet Scotty
and turn him into a regular listener to this radio station.
And he is probably excited that Clay and Bucker next.
Congratulations Tory, thank you so much, have a wonderful day.
