Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vorgiez. I always think when the program kind of
unfolds with some of the rather sad news that we
started off with. Let's see, we talked about the former
president's cancer diagnosis and the fact that if President Trump
had announced the same diagnosis for himself, yay, cancer would
(00:21):
be trending in this country. That makes me sad. Oh,
there's some who think that the former director of the
FBI wants to murder the current president. That makes me
sad on lots of different fronts. Oh. And I also
noted the tenth anniversary of the death of a dedicated
police officer carry Eurosco the people who carry that pain
(00:44):
with them every single day in our community, and just
for good measure, as a little bit of sprinkle on
top here the not guilty by reason of insanity for
the guy who murdered the Creighton baseball coach, Chris Gradoville.
And anytime the program kind of unfolds like that, I
can't help but think selfishly this nagging thought in the
(01:07):
back of my brain that there's someone tuning into this
program for the first time because someone told them, like, hey,
you should listen to Scott and Lucy on the radio,
they're hilarious, and then they tune in and they're like,
either this is not the kind of show I was told.
(01:28):
Maybe I'm listening to the wrong station because this is
not funny, or the person who told me to listen
to this thinks all of this that has been discussed
those thus far is so funny and I need to
reconsider my friendship with that person. It's just how it goes.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Okay, just you know, relax, everybody stick around.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Does it seem like everyone's kind of in a rather
bad mood this morning? Are you what can we do about? Well,
nothing thus far, but perhaps going forward? Do you want
the taste of Italy?
Speaker 2 (02:07):
What is that, by the way, the taste of Italy?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah, I don't know that. I've ordered that. The Fox
News report a moment ago talked about some guy who's
I wasn't really paying attention. I forget where, and I'm
not going to look it up because I don't care
about this guy. But I did note that there was
someone who was recently put to death, executed by the state,
(02:33):
and Fox News noted a moment ago that he wanted
for his last meal and was provided this for his
last meal. Last meal catered in. I presume I don't
think they took him to the restaurant he wanted for
his last meal. The taste of Italy from Olive Garden.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Wouldn't everything at Olive Garden be a taste of Italy?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I want to know what that is?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Oh, that's the lasagna the uh, it's the something.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
The chicken parmegana, the lasagna classico and the fetucini alfredo.
That does sound pretty good.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Not because that's that's the dessert. What's the other one?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
That is taramasou?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
No, the one that's in the two same tube. It's
a pasta tube though, and it's filled with canal Canalonii mendicotti.
That's what that taste of Italy used to have on it.
I believe.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I don't know. This just says the The entrees are
the three classic Italian entrees, chicken parmesan, classic, lasagna and
fetuccino fettuccini of the alfredo variety.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I'd eat that.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I'd absolutely, I'd eat any and all of these. And
I imagine you get breadsticks and salad.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
What breadsticks? They have? Bread sticks?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Oh? Yeah, you get unlimited bread sticks. It's Olive Garden,
says when you're here your family. That's funny. I spend
a lot of time with my family. You know how
many bread sticks I generally get? None? Zero? None. Even
on the rare occasion where we have bread sticks, my
children devour them like angry badgers. I don't get any
(04:22):
You don't have any idea how many times there's either
something left on the table or there's leftovers in the
fridge and I really want to eat it because I'm
I want to eat everything. But one of the kids
is like, oh, I was thinking about having this. Does
anyone want it before I finish this off? And I
(04:43):
always say you go ahead.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Well yeah, but they're older now, so you can. They
can take the rejection and you can eat it.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
No, I'll still sacrifice, Lucy, you can right now? Does
it look like I'm going hungry and missing a lot
of meals?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Now looks like it's possible calling me fat?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
So this guy got I don't think that the Olive
Garden's probably gonna throw that into their advertisement.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Did he get it?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:15):
He got that's what he got, all right.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
It's a it's still kind of a classy thing we
do for those people who are on death row and
schedule to be executed any minute now, because they've done
some of the worst things imaginable. But as a society,
we're like, hey, it's kind of an unusual thing we're
doing here. You know how you're living right now, You're alive,
you're taking breaths and all that. That's that's about to stop.
(05:39):
But uh, before we do that, we're gonna make ourselves
feel better about the whole situation and kind of make
your day a little bit brighter. What do you want
to eat?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Oh, the last meal isn't about the convict, it's about
the executioner.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
A little bit of both. When my wife is sometime
set to be executed for all of her myriad crimes,
and it will happen, she will she.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Will be caught tearing a lot of labels off of mattresses,
and I.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Can't testify against her because we're married. It wouldn't even
stand up in court. No one's gonna call me to
the stand. But at some point her crime spree will
be interrupted, she will be found guilty, and she'll be
made to stand for all of her horrible crimes, and
there will be an execution in her future. Maybe the
thing that will probably stave off her execution indefinitely. Is
(06:37):
they're going to come to my wife and say, all right,
it's almost high noon. You're about to be executed, but
you have one final meal. What do you want to eat?
I don't know what do you want to eat? No,
this isn't I'm not hungry. I had a big breakfast.
What do you want to eat? I don't care. I'm
(06:58):
game for anything. Anything sounds good. Okay, how about pasta
pasta last night? Okay, so so it's not anything apparently,
how about enchiladas? I don't know, for lunch, maybe for
(07:19):
dinner tonight. Okay, all right, I've just thrown out a
couple of things. You didn't want either of them. You
said that whatever I want to eat is fine. Why
don't you just tell me what you want to eat?
It's not that hard. Oh, honestly, I'm fine. Do you
want enceladas?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I just said I don't want anything I find within it.
You know what I don't need to eat? Well, you
gotta eat something. You're gonna be executed, and you can't
be executed on an empty stomach. You got to pick something.
You pick. I picked last time. They would never execute
my wife or they or they would get so frustrated
(07:58):
they would do it on the spot. They're like, Hey,
that was supposed to be through lethal injection. You just
bludgeoned her. I couldn't take it anymore. She wouldn't tell
me what she wanted to eat.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Bludgeoned with a pack of menus.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Right, Ah, there we go. We blended the usual levity
on this program with about the most morbid thing I
could possibly think of. Someone delightfully bludgeoning my beloved wife.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
To death on a day Jeez, when you put it
that way, on a day.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Where her father is in town because my daughter is
graduating from high school tonight and the family will all
be together.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Oh man, I've got a box of Kleenex if you
want to take it with you there and.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
And everyone feel better. I think I'm okay tonight, all right,
I mean, I've already been through. This is the last
time she's doing this with her classmates. And this is
the last time she's doing that with her classmates. And
all the singing and the show choir, dancing and the
orchestra that she's been me ever since she picked up
a viola when she was in grade school. She's been
(09:04):
doing this, and doing and so doing all of that.
It was a struggle to get through all of that
because every time I turned around, this is the last
time she's doing this, or it's her senior prom, and
doesn't she look beautiful? So for tonight, I think I'm
more of the mindset of let's go.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Maybe that's why the schools drag it out so much.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Let's go already, let's just graduate. It's a Tuesday, all right,
let's graduate. Gotta go, find some place to park, gotta
go into the arena for all that. Let's go. But
I don't know. I reserve the right to change my
emotional state at any time.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Is now? Are they are other graduation ceremonies at their school?
Speaker 1 (09:52):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Are they one of.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
It's axter Yes, it's an Omaha school.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
So they go, You don't want to be anywhere around
sixty third and sixties. Yeah, about sixty third and center.
You don't want to be anywhere around there for yeah,
until I think Sundays I'm a monster.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I suggested, how about we go down early park at
a Starvon village where parking is free, get something to eat,
A lot of great places to eat there at a
starvon Village and we just walk across the street.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
You'd be the only one doing that.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
And my wife said no, because well, the school has
reserved special parking in some some space in the lots.
And I already have a map all set up to
where I know where do we can park.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
The rection or is it like this spot? And then
five right down.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
It's like, well, they already told us where we can
park for free, and I've memorized the lot and where
we can park like or we just like, well, but
they already set up all the parts in the lot
we can park for free. And see this is my wife.
If someone says like, hey, do you want something that
has almost no value and you don't need, do you
want it for free? Oh my gosh yes? Is it heavy? Yeah? Please,
(11:01):
you know that's that's how all that goes.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
That's how she got you. Actually, is it free? And
it heav?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Is it heavy? Is it half no value? Scott Voyes
