Scary Stuff: Neighbors, Bears, and Grandma

Must be Halloween week!

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vorhees October the twenty seventh, and this is a
week that has always been a bit of an anxious
week for me. When I was a kid, it was
what's Halloween weather going to be like? In Nebraska, you
have to choose your Halloween costume according to the weather.

(00:23):
It could be sunny, it could be snowy. It could
be eighty above, it could be thirty below, no idea,
it could be raining. And so you've got to have
a Halloween costume that can be scaled back or added
to depending on the weather. And with the last name Vorhees.

(00:45):
Every year, as you may have guessed, I dressed up
as Freddy Krueger. I'm kidding. I was Jason Vorhees from
Friday the thirteenth because I felt a strong familial tie
to the hockey masked murderer. And it wasn't because I
was a hockey fan. I like murder, so I would

(01:06):
go dressed as Jason Vorhees every year. At this time,
I think about my dear sweet mother, who when I said,
you know, it's the costume lacks if I just you know,
have the mask on and then my flat top hairdew
sticking out from the top. It wasn't like a high

(01:27):
flat top haird I wasn't in the band Kid and
Play or anything, but I mean Jason Vorhees didn't have
a flat top. He had a disgusting head that was
all gross and peeling and burned up and had worms
coming out of it. And so my mom said, all right,
I got just the thing. We went to Mangleson's proper room,

(01:50):
of course, and she got a bald head like a covering,
and then proceeded to and I she, I guess had
never done this before, but she proceeded to take a
spirit gum and fake blood and tissue paper and she

(02:11):
started kind of working on that bald head covering and
made it something that was absolutely disgusting. It looked all
gross and naughty, and it had like skin flaking off
of it and blood and puss. Oh, it was absolutely disgusting.

(02:34):
I thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen
in my life. And a lot of years, that whole
Friday the thirteenth get up worked great because Halloween, as
you may or may not know, has always been in
October thirty first. It's not like Easter that can be
anytime from December to July. It's always October thirty first.

(02:58):
I don't know if people know that. And sometimes it
was like super cold, rainy. That was always great because
you can add bulk to the Jason Vorhees costume. It
just makes you look like a bigger and stronger fifth grader, like, wow,
that might actually be him if he were four to seven.

(03:19):
But be that as it may, it was always really
awful those years when Halloween would be like eighty five degrees,
just be muggy, like, oh man, now Jason Vorhees has
to wear like a tank top and shorts. That doesn't work,
or you're just all hot and sweaty. You're sweating up

(03:41):
that mask. So there's always been a lot of anxiety
on this week of Halloween, what's the weather going to
be like? That was as a kid. As an adult,
that anxiety now flips to this is the week when
every single media outlet feels compelled to tell parents, now,
don't forget as you're getting your kids ready for trick

(04:04):
and treating, you got to make sure they've got safety
orange and reflective tape all over their costume. Like I
can't have reflective tape on this costume. I'm a ninja,
I'm supposed to be invisible, Well you're gonna be invisible
reflective tape and put this safety orange safety patrol vest on. Ah,

(04:27):
I'm the worst ninja ever. So you got to do
all that, and then there's always the media in between,
telling parents you make sure your kids wear safety orange
so they don't ge hit by traffic, and make sure
that your kids don't take any Halloween candy from anyone
because there might be razor blades in it. And make

(04:48):
sure that you, as parents, check the sex Offender Registry
to make sure your kids aren't going trick or treating
at any sex offender's house, because you know those people
on the red What they do is they hide behind
the door, and then some kid says trigger treat and
the guy sticks his face out and he's like, well, hi,

(05:13):
what are you supposed to be? Looks like alone, and
then they just grab the kid, never to be seen again,
which I don't think has ever happened in the history
of ever. Now that's a big statement a lot of
years and ever, but have you ever Lucy Chapman is
now checking into the proceedings here on my annual rant

(05:36):
where it makes it sound like I'm sticking up for
sex offenders. Lucy, Good morning and happy Monday?

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Is it though?

Speaker 1 (05:44):
A happy Monday? Sorry for starting off on some level
of positivity. As I said, I'm sticking up for sex offenders.
I'm not sticking up for sex offenders. But have you
ever heard of anyone going out for tricks and treats
and then that the person on the registry just grabs
a kid and like, hey, what happened to Sam? You know?
Have you ever heard that?

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Well? No is the short answer.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
I never have either. Also, let's remember that most of
the people who are on the registry are there because
they're not in jail. I always have. This is the
part that I want to hammer through, and that is
if a person is so dangerous that we need to

(06:32):
know where they are all the time, I would prefer
that that we need to know where they are, that
we know where they are, they should be behind bars somewhere,
put them in a prison, put them in a jail,
put them in some sort of I don't know, a
halfway house, someplace where we know where they are. If
they're so dangerous that we have to check an app
on our phone to find out how many offenders are
on this registry in our neighborhood. Why are they living

(06:55):
one street over in three houses up? Why aren't they
living at the Nebraska State If they're so dangerous that
you can't even have your kids out riding bikes or
trick or treating in the neighborhood, then why is he out? Well,
probably because not everyone on the registry is there because

(07:16):
they're the kind of person that's just like indiscriminately grabbing
kids and all the rest of them. I mean, some
of these people are on there for They're all on
there for a reason. I'm not saying, Hey, these guys choirs,
a choir of angels, all these guys, I'm not saying that,
but it does Just because you're on the registry doesn't

(07:37):
mean they're just you know, hey, kid, you like candy.
You know it's not There are some people like that.
They're the ones who are usually thankfully still in jail.
But the media doesn't differentiate that. Every year they say,
you know, here's an app that you parents can use

(07:59):
before where your kids go trigger or treating in the
neighborhood to find out who's got who are the sex
offenders in your neighborhood and then the have you ever
looked at that lucy for your neighborhood? Have you ever
checked the registry for your neighborhood?

Speaker 2 (08:17):
I have in the past. I haven't in a while,
a long while.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Isn't it shocking to find like, oh my gosh, suddenly
like I don't know, maybe there's one in the neighborhood,
and then you find out like there's one next door,
and you're like, what the heck? She seems so nice?
She right, So they're always saying you got to check
the registry, and then that it pops up all over

(08:43):
the neighborhood and that's like, that's it. Halloween is canceled.
I'm not letting these kids go out. There are some
places that don't even let people on the registry even
decorate their house for Halloween. They don't let them turn
the light on, they don't let them open the door
for tricks and treats with the kids. It's uh. And

(09:05):
if they find out someone's like, yeah, I just like Halloween.
You know I'm on the registry because you know, I
was nineteen and she was younger, and if I had
married her, like Elvis, it would have been fine. But
you know, I didn't, and so now I'm on a registry,
and so now like I can't even put spiderwebs on

(09:26):
the bushes. Meanwhile, this thing happened to me when I
was like fifty three years ago. I can't even put
a skeleton in the yard. So I look, don't get
all freaked out about the registry. It's never a bad
idea to be vigilant. But chances are, especially you as

(09:50):
a mom, you've already got your mother Spidey sense up
regarding that guy that lives down the street anyway, and
he probably probably doesn't decorate for Halloween or have the
light on or answer his door. Lucy, were you one
of those kids when you go out trigg or treating,
would you purposely go up to the houses that had

(10:11):
the light turned off? Like it was clear it doesn't
look like anyone's home. Let's try anyway, They just go
up there, trigger.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Treat, intrude where I wasn't invited.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yelling at a dark house. Come on, we know you're
in there. Bring out the reasons, peanut butter cups, and
make it fast. Never I would be more concerned, not
with the annual news report from our media. It says, hey,
be careful when you're sending your kids out trick or
treating this Halloween. All of your neighbors are weirdos. I

(10:44):
don't like that story. I want any weirdos who might
be dangerous not to be on some registry when they've
already paid their debt to society. Let them out. There's
not a registry for axe murderers. By the way, you
could have an axe murderer living down the street. There's
no registry for that. I'd rather have. I want a

(11:05):
registry for people that the cops know are guilty but
they couldn't prove it in a court of law like that.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
That's the website I visit every day.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Right, Like that's the most illegal thing ever. But that's
the registry I want. Come on, where's that one? Where's
that registry for the your neighbors that the cops just
have that feeling about but they haven't been able to
pin anything on them. But they're going back over the
DNA evidence from nineteen seventy four, Like, I want that registry.

(11:34):
As far as these guys who got caught, they served
their time, they're now out and they're like, can I
get a job? Oh no, No, one will hire you. Well,
can I live? And oh no, you're too close to
a school? Well what am I supposed to do? I
don't know you should have thought about that before you, Like,
I just went to the bathroom in an alley. I
didn't realize that it was girl Scout week at the

(11:56):
local bar. I didn't know it was like, hey, sorry, pal. Anyway,
i'd be probably less concern about your neighbors on Halloween. Then,
who is educating your kids in these schools? We got
another one. This one's right here in Nebraska. I'll tell

(12:18):
you about her next.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Scott Fores NewsRadio eleven.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Ten k fad Scott atkfab dot com. I'm Scott Vorhees
here with Lucy Chapman on news radio eleven ten KFAB.
Andrew emails and says, I stopped giving out candy on
Halloween when I saw how much of my property taxes
went to these schools that these kids go to. They
should give me candy, Lucy.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
I'm all in, I dive we can get behind that.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Yeah, we'll give out Lucy's address on Friday and that
way that evening you can go out and give Lucy candy.
What kind of candy do you want kids to give
you on Halloween, they just take it from Peter down
the street and pay you and Paul not your husband's name,
and Halloween candy on Friday.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
I think if they're taking it from down the street
and bringing it up to my house, it's probably going
to be that circus peanuts are cheap. You can take you.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Can bring the circus peanuts right over to my hendw
I love those things so much that if someone just
took them at their hand, out of their own pocket
and threw them in my pillow case, I'd be like,
I'd eat a few of these. I don't.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
I don't think anybody's buying the chocolate we had when
we were kids, and we can afford it.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Lucy starts negotiating with the kids that come over on
Halloween trigger treat. Well, let's figure out, you know, kind
of where we liked you. Are you more of a
chocolate person? Do you like sour candies? I got a
lot of candies here, but you know what, I want
something for this and let's see what you got and
we can make a tray.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
You know what I was thinking about doing. I saw
this online. I don't think it would actually work. There
are people that it's only like thirty three cents apiece,
handing out packages of ramen.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yeah, you know what, pretty good. These kids love ramen
because it's easy to make. Yeah, boil water, put the
ramen in, Wait three minutes, eat the food.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Now you got to put cheese on it. Cheese, and
then you're done.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Now you put the flavor pack. You guys, you moderately
strain it and you put the flavor pack on. And
it doesn't matter what the flavor is on the ramen.
You got bee, you got chicken. It all tastes the same,
and it's all delicious. And you ruin it by putting
cheese on there.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Oh, try it, try it once. You'll never go back
any kind of cheese.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Okay, I'll try it, but yeah, give.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
It out packages of ramen. I think it would have
a double impact. I think there's people that are having
food insecurity out there. Imagine a kid coming back with
a Pelo sac.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah, you know case billow.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Case filled with ramen.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Score know it'd be good. No, but even that stuff's
gotten more expensive. You used to be able to get
like fifty of them for a dollar. Now I think
it's only twelve I mean, it's like, come on, how
far is this?

Speaker 2 (15:16):
It's still cheaper than chocolate right now.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Now as far as the media every year at this
time trying to ruin Halloween by pointing out, you know,
some of your neighbors are sex offenders. Check this registry
before setting your kids out for tricks and treats. Rob says,
I'm all for the registry, but there are people on
there who were drunk and streaking at the age of nineteen.
Don't do that. But see that's why, like I would

(15:39):
check the registry if it had the details about what
the guy did. Wouldn't that be kind of fun and saalacious?
And before you say, oh, that's disgusting, this sort of
you know, we have to know what they're up to.
Come on, Marge, you know you'd watch you'd watch that
if they made a Netflix show out of it, you'd
watch it this week on Netflix. Find out what your

(16:02):
neighbors did in nineteen eighty four, we are at a
Van Halen concert, and then I want to know what
they did, and then I can make a judgment call
on whether or not it's too bad to send my
kids out there to get candy that I will then
sneak when their backs are turned. That's what I want.
I want the registry of the neighbors that that the

(16:26):
cops in your town say, look, we can't exactly pin
it on that guy with evidence, but that guy just
gives me the creeps, and so I want him on.
He just gives cops the creeps, like we know he's
guilty of something. We just have to find out what
or wait for the DNA evidence to come back. I
want that registry, and then the on the registry, especially

(16:48):
for the sex offender registry. I want to know what
they did. I want details. I want to read the
arrest record, get the victim statement. Don't give me that.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Look, you know what does it work for you?

Speaker 1 (17:00):
You would too.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
There's a word for you, what communist.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
No, it's not communist. It's making people pay for their
crimes and provide me entertainment outdu prospers provide me entertainment. No,
because I would pay for it. I'm a capitalist. I
will put that app out. I will. I will put
in the work to give people that app the details
that they need. For example, as soon as I saw

(17:26):
this story, it was like, all right, there was another
educator and her boyfriend arrested and charged for allegedly trying
to groom and traffic a student of hers. I was like, yeah,
this happens a lot though, And then I saw it's
in Nebraska, and I was like, wait, it's it's in Nebraska.
Where is it? It's in Holdridge? Holdridge.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Isn't that a one room schoolhouse?

Speaker 1 (17:52):
No, the Holdridge is the town of at least a
couple hundred people. No, Holdridge is a good, good little town.
And they're kind of south ish of Carnee.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
What I can call them a bad town just because
they have a one room schoolhouse.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Three three and a half hours southwest to hear at Holdridge.
But so I think for me, I start looking at
red flags. First thing I got to look at is
all right, what she looked like, and her arm tattoos
are visible in her school picture. She's younger, she's only

(18:29):
thirty six, So you got your young teacher. That's red
flag number one. I've said this before. I think every
teacher should be a post menopausal woman, and you're getting
on her last nerve. Every teacher kindergarten through college a
postmenopausal woman and you're getting on her last nerve. Those

(18:55):
are the best teachers. So this girl, she's thirty six,
young woman, she's thirty six. She's got visible arm tattoos,
which is fine, but it's like picture day for the teachers.
I'm gonna go get my official picture taken from my
school so you can see the visible arm tattoos. It's
like a heart and there's something else that goes up

(19:17):
her arm. You can't see all that, but like, you're
not even gonna wear sleeves on a picture day for
the teachers'. Sorry. I don't have anything against tattoos. I
just think that, you know, some teachers, probably a little
decorum might not be bad. Here's Red Flag number three.
She has worked in more than a dozen schools across

(19:37):
south central Nebraska. She's thirty six in the last several years,
so she yeah, she had our time sitting still.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
Apparently, but unless she's in a tattoo artist chair mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Yeah, and she'll sit still for that. Her boyfriend is
forty one. Her we'll just go first names. They're innocent
until proven guilty. So her name's Elizabeth. His name is Jared,
but he goes by Jack. Red Flag number four, you're
using a nickname that does not correspond in any way

(20:14):
with your first name. Sounds like an alias to me.
So he's forty one, she's thirty six. The investigation, this
according to the Daily Mail that's right of England, this
has reached international news, began after a current high school
student there at at Holdridge female says she first overheard

(20:36):
a phone conversation between her teacher and her teacher's boyfriend,
in which teacher's boyfriend told the teacher his girlfriend, you
know that one student who's apparently within earshot, I'd kind
of like to have some relations with her. This apparently
was not off putting for teacher. The girlfriend like, oh yeah,

(21:02):
my boyfriend, he uses my classroom as a bit of
a buffet. So then a few weeks later she because
her job is to transport this student. She's got a
job as a transition coordinator. I don't really know what
that is, but I guess part of her job is

(21:23):
she gets this girl to and from school, except this
day she takes the student home and brought her to
her boyfriend. Her boyfriend quote made a request of the
student that she interpreted as sexual in nature unquote. Kind

(21:45):
of like to know what that was, just so I
can judge myself, but she declined his request. Thank you
for the offer. I'd like to leave now, And to
their credit, they let her leave. This story could have
gotten so much worse. The teacher then apologized and told
the student, all right, hey, we don't need to let
anyone know about this, and then tried to buy the

(22:07):
silence from the student for one hundred dollars in twenty
dollars increments. I don't know if that was installments or
just gave her five twenty sides. It just noted here,
gave her one hundred dollars in twenty dollars increments. When
the police asked her about this, she says, no, that
wasn't hush money. That was a gift for a new phone.

(22:30):
One hundred dollars for a new phone.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
I want to know where that phone is, right, well,
buy six of them.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah, you can't even get an old flip phone for
one hundred bucks. So it's the student is telling the
teachers or telling the police. Here, here's what's going on.
They're being held in the jail, so they face up
to a lifetime in prison and lifetime placement on the

(23:00):
Sex Offender Registry in Nebraska, which brings us back to
some moms won't let your kids go trigger treating at
their house. Let's get a Fox News update here.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
In just a moment, Scott Boys snooze radio of Levins KFAB.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
And this email comes in from Jeremy says, ramen used
to be ten cents apiece when I was in college. Also,
anyone who doesn't drain all the water from the ramen
and make a soup out of it as a psycho? Wait?
Wait what anyone who doesn't drain Anyone who doesn't drain

(23:39):
all the water from it and make a soup out
of it as a psycho? I we have now a
we have a Brad Ashford sentence. Brad. I loved, always
love talking to former Counselmen Congressman Brad Ashford, because if
you let him talk long enough, he would start to
argue with himself. I don't know which Jeremy wants, but

(24:06):
you know you do it makes you happy. I hit
it right in the middle. I don't drain all the
water out of it, but I leave enough in there.
I don't want it to be a soup. I want
it to be a very wet pasta.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
I just use less water to make it. Why do
you have to bother with draining it?

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Well, because you don't want to, And I know it's
only three minutes, so you could probably find that right
water to boil ratio. But every once in a while, especially,
it took me a while to catch my stride with orzo,
which in the last year or two I suddenly realized, Oh,
I am now hopelessly addicted to this pasta that looks
like rice and orzo. Sometimes you know you've got to

(24:49):
have it in there. And it's weird because all these
little orzo pellets, they all look the same. They're all
made out of pasta. But you buy one pack of
it from one manufacturer, it's like, just boil it for
six minutes and you're good. The other ones like boil
it for six hours. This must be boiled overnight, and like.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
A good thing. I don't like orzo.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
I hate stirring something where you have to leave it
on the stovetop for thirteen minutes. I gotta sit here
at the stovetop because I know you don't have to
stir it constantly, just occasionally go by. But that's what
we gotta, you know, go over there and stir it
every once in a while, might as well just stand
here and stir it.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Hey, nobody got time Forday.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
I wouldn't even mess with it if I didn't love
it so much. But anyway, sometimes it's always real nerve
wracking when you're like, all right, this is the thirteen
minute orzo and I did not put enough water in
this pot, and now it's you're essentially you've got like
two and a half minutes ago and you're just boiling
the noodles. At this point, the water is pretty much

(25:55):
all gone. It's been absorbed by the pasta or it.
You know, it's boiled right out of there. And uh,
it's it's it's I tell you, it's nerve wracking. You're like, well,
I have to add water to it, but then I'm
gonna lose the boil and what does that do to
the timing. I'm just gonna throw. I'm just gonna move.
I just I just move into a different house.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
You know what I've taken away from all of this,
I'm very happy to know. You don't change your wife
to the stove, although you would probably get better food
than what you're making.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
No, she she loves being there in the kitchen. No, shoes, pregnant,
pregnant belly. I hope she has that baby sometime. It's
been a long time, I know.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Anyways.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
Jeremy also says, and Lucy is right, a slice of
cheese is a game changer. Well, you didn't see a
slice of cheese. You put it.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
You can do. You can do shredded, you can do
a slice whatever you want.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
You just put a slice of cheese on top of
the pasta and that works.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
I've had it like that. I like to put like
a real cheddar on it, though.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Do you look down on me that I'm a velvita guy?

Speaker 2 (27:06):
No, but you can't call yourself a cheese guy, though,
because that's not cheese.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Well, what is it?

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Cheese food? That's fine, Well it's not cheese.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
I'm sitting I'm not sitting here eating cheese out of
a spray can. It's velveta.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
Almost.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Velveta is a cheese. You got, you got your cheddar,
you got your jack, You've got your flavoring velveta. It's
a naturally occurring cheese.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
I see. Does that is that goat cheese or milk
or cow cheese, cow cheese, cow cheese?

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Goat cheese is not cheese goat's milk.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
I wouldn't drink it.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
Yeah, I like that. I have no problem drinking cow's milk.
It's so delicious. And just the thought of someone looking
at that utter hanging off a car and said, I
wonder if there's anything delicious in there. Let me try
tugging on it and see. But I have no problem
with that. But that someone looked at a goat and said,

(28:11):
I'm gonna do the same thing with that goat. Come on, goat,
I'm gonna milk you. And they're like, that's a male goat.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Oh this is yeah. Pg. Thirteen, Who are your goat?

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Corey emails and says, good morning, Scott, since it's clear
your radio show is blown up and we're not gonna
have a topic introduced today. Now he didn't say that part.
It was inferred.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Why do you always look at me when you say
things like that. I had nothing to do with this.
I was minding my own business. You drug me into
the Vorhe's comments.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
You forgot Halloween, you forgot to load the teleprompter with
my talking points from Fox News and the Trump White House.
Oh oh here they are all right, here we go.
How about Schumer shot down. Got it, big, beautiful Bill,
But this is old parts old I failed. East Wing

(29:13):
gonna be beautiful, great, great east Wing to the White House.
Let's see here. Corey says, good morning, Scott. Can you
tell your listeners has growing up with the last of them?
Can you tell your remaining listeners has growing up with
the last name of Vorhees been a blessing or a curse?
Especially during the Halloween season. Halloween was never a big

(29:39):
deal for having Vorhees as a last name, except that,
as I mentioned earlier, I did go every single year
for a long stretch as Jason.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
But now you don't have to dress up.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
This was in what's that supposed to mean?

Speaker 2 (29:55):
You can just be Vorhees?

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Right? Uh, that's scared enough as it is. Are you
Jason Forhees? Now I'm Scott Forhe's oh guy on the radio?
But this was in the eighties when most people didn't know,
especially kids. Most of kids had not seen the Friday
the Thirteenth movies, and even if they had seen a

(30:19):
little bit here or there, it wasn't like readily apparent
that Jason's last name was Vorhees. I mean, most people
knew that Jason was a hockey mass killer from Friday
the thirteenth, but they didn't. It wasn't synonymous with him
having a last name at all, not like Freddy Krueger.
Everyone knew Freddy Krueger. It'd be like finding out, like
Texas Chainsaw massacre, it's oh, his name, he has a

(30:42):
last name, it's leather face Snodgrass.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
It is not Snodgrass.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
It might be I don't know, but Jason didn't really
have a last name. I mean, he did if you
watch the movies, but a lot of people kids, they
haven't really thought anything of it. So it wasn't that
big a deal on Halloween. But on the your occasional
Friday the thirteenth, Michael Myers, Yeah, Michael Myers, but everybody

(31:08):
knew that name. Yes, But then in the nineties Michael
Myers was more of the guy who played Wayne on
Saturday Night Live and later Austin Powers.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
So I still if you say Michael Myers to me,
I think of Party on Garth. Yeah, baby, that's who
I think of. I don't think about the guy in
the mask and the Halloween movies. Butet on Friday the thirteenth,
people would just pick up the phone book. The savvy

(31:37):
Friday the thirteenth fans would just pick up the phone
book and say, I wonder if there's anyone in this
phone book named Jason Vorhees. And there wasn't, but our
name came up, and so they would call and I
would answer and they would ask if Jason was there
and if At first, when I was a kid, I
didn't get it, and then I was like, oh, okay, yeah,

(31:58):
So then I always kind of enjoyed home on Friday
the thirteenth to answer that phone call. Is Jason there? Yeah,
I'll get him in the background and they're like, who's
getting pranked? Now?

Speaker 2 (32:16):
I'm sorry, I just had cake delivered. I'm not paying
any attention to you know.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
One year on Friday the thirteenth, I just answered the
phone camp Crystal Lake, can I help you? This is Jason,
can I help you? So I don't know what was
the question. Was it a blessing or a curse? I
don't know that it was one or the other. Right
hard hard times say it was a blessing. My dad

(32:40):
tells me that when he and my mom watched that movie,
when it was revealed that it was you know the
mom was really the thing in the first movie.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
Ah, spoiler alert.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Sorry, I'm giving away the details of a fifty year
old movie. But it was it was more about the
mom in Jason. But then it was revealed that the
last name was Vorhees, and my parents just looked at
each other like, oh, well, isn't that special, which was

(33:13):
yet to be a catchphrase at that point, so they
didn't say it like the church lady. All right, since
the show has gone off the rails, wildlife officials in
Arkansas say that a man was killed by a bear
this month. All right, stop, killed by a bear in Arkansas?

(33:35):
I think a bear is an Arkansas.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Apparently they do. I wouldn't have thought that, but yeah,
how do you think about it?

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah? Okay, So this guy was camping at Sam's Thrown
Campground in the Ozark National Forest. Sam's Thrown. Someone named
a campground after Sammy's toilet, Sam's Thrown Campground.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Well, why does it have to be a toilet? Why
couldn't he have been a king? He wasn't because it's
no kings.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
Oh let's see, that's why, no kings. His body was
found after a welfare check was requested. By his family
because he was just living at the campsite too long.
And now I'm starting to wonder if the guy was
actually homeless. Whatever, the guy's living at the camp probably sick.
They hadn't heard from him in a while, Like we

(34:26):
think he's living at that campground.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
It's living, is the.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
So this sixty year old man was found and they
determined that he was killed by a bear. So, because
when a bear kill, this is a black bear, I
guess black. I thought black bears weren't all that violent.
They didn't. They weren't aggressive.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
Well they are if you step on their toes.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
I don't know what other bear would be then grizzly.
They have grizly. No, I'm sure it's a black says
black bear. So they can kill two, I guess. So
they said, all right, when a bear kills a guy,
we have to euthanize the bear. So they went and
found the bear and they killed it. They had some
cameras in the area and they saw a bear and

(35:15):
they're like, that's the bear. So they went and found
the first black bear they could fight and they killed it,
and as you may have guessed, it is not the
right bear. So now we have racial profiling and.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Yeah, but anything wrong.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
These bears are killers. Well this look, this bear was
gonna kill somebody. It was a preemptive strike. So now
they're like, all right, sorry, we we thought it was
the right bear. You know, he was black and he
was bear sized, so we were pretty sure this was
the bear. And it turns out we were wrong. Sorry
about that. They're urging visitors in the Ozark National Force

(35:54):
to remain aware of potentially dangerous bears. So not not
danger right, They're still looking for this bear. I don't
know how they're going to determine this is the bear.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
Yeah, they're running out of time for stomach.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Content, Like is he wearing the guy's pants? How are
they gonna know? Like, we thought it was the right bear,
but the guy's wallet was stolen, and this bear didn't
have his wallet on him and hadn't used his credit cards.
I got this email from Rob which is a handy
tutorial this week if you're going out shopping for Halloween

(36:29):
candy this week, so you can hand stuff out to
the trigger treaters, or if you're brave enough to just
put it in a bowl and leave it on the
front porch with a note that says, don't bother me.
I'm watching a movie and just you take one or two?
Does that work? I like to answer the door. I

(36:52):
like to see what the little kidlets are wearing.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
It's cheaper. I've got to answer the door.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
I've got these kids across the street. The two boys
is both a brother and sister combo, and the two
boys are the same age, and the two girls are
the same age, and they're all just running around playing
outside all the time, and I don't It just really

(37:22):
makes me long for my kids being young and cute.
My kids are old, they're disgusting. My son's almost sixteen.
He's just he smells like axe body spray. But he
swears he doesn't use axe body spray. It's just I
just think it's a pheromone that comes with the age.
He just smells like like if axe body spray, if

(37:44):
socks were soaked and axe body spray. That's my son. Thankfully,
all of his buddies are over at the house constantly,
and they all smell worse. So that's kind of what
we got going on right now. But these kids across
the street, they're so stinking cute. I can't wait for
then to come over and go trigger treating so I

(38:04):
can see the costumes. I we have a couple.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
Of kids like that across the street from us, and
I will take candy over to them before they start
their trigger treating.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
They're all great kids. I do have a favorite, though.
There's some kid I've already started. I've already now like,
have a this is going to lead to a fight
someday relationship with Yeah, this kid's four. I think it
started earlier this year because I'd come home from work
and he'd be after preschool or whatever, and he'd be

(38:38):
out playing his driveway with all the kids. But he's
the one that looked at me because I'd walk across
the street to get the mail at the mailbox in
front of his house. And after watching me do this
and say hey, how's everyone doing, you know, just being
friendly and all that. After watching me do this for
a few days, he said how come you always go
to the mailbox? And I looked at him, and I

(39:01):
didn't even think before I responded. I didn't think that
I should act like more of an adult and explain
about the wonders of the US Postal Service or whatever.
So this four year old kid looks at me and goes,
how come you always go to the mailbox? And I
looked at him and said, why don't you mind your
own business? Oh?

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Ze was kind of like, here's part of the show.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Yes, I just yeah, I guess I just got off work,
still had that mindset, why do you always go to
the mailbox? Why don't you mind your own business? And
then he got a big smile on his face. Yeah.
I he didn't run crying to his mom like what
is the matter with you? Why do you speak to
kids like that? So now that is now escalated, and

(39:44):
that kid and I have a very fun, playful fighting contest,
probably because we're on about the same mental level. So
I do have a favorite. That kid's getting a giant
chocolate bar.

Speaker 2 (39:58):
They're on sell right now a dollar ease right.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
So when kids come to your house, this is a
handy tutorial emailed into the Zonker's Custom woods inbox scott
a kfab dot com from Rob that says how kids
judge your Halloween candy? So here's here are your options.
You got the itty bitty little TUTSI roll pops itty

(40:25):
bitty little like double like Hubba Bubba Bubble gum, itty
bitty little thing of sweet tarts, just little. The candy's fine,
it's just such a small amount. You are known as
Cheapy mccheap face. See you're handing out candy from last
year's after Halloween sales, aren't you. Money might not grow
on trees, but tonight some toilet paper might. Cheapy mccheap face,

(40:51):
you got the old timer. This would be like your
bit o honey, a Werther's original good candy probably will
wasn't invented yet when you were a kid. You may
even be a Titanic survivor, so we'll respect your effort.
See you we're paying respect to are very old. You

(41:12):
might even be a Titanic survivor. By the way, the
kids look at anyone over the age of thirty five
as oh, I bet they were on the Titanic. When
you were a kid, was everything in black and white?
It still isn't You got the scatter brain. You get
an a for awkward. This is a paper clip, a

(41:34):
fortune cookie, a battery loose change. Either you grossly underestimated
or candy was flagrantly forgotten on several grocery lists. So
the scatter brain. You got the party pooper. This is
your toothbrush and floss, or an apple or a little

(41:54):
box of raisins. You're probably allergic to sugar and happiness.
You're not gonna stop our cavities from having cavities tonight.
You've got the psycho path. This is just loose candy, corn,
loose circus peanuts, a mint that's not in its wrapper.

(42:15):
Your soul must be as dark and bitter as black licorice.
At least there's no worry about poison because no one
is going to eat this candy you've got. And this
is the category I fall under. The Trusty Provider. This
is your fun sized good candy, fun sized bag of

(42:39):
m and m's or Skittles, a fun sized Nestley crunch bar,
or a crackle. Oh man, that's the first thing I
go after, because I never get a crackle. Kids bring
home their Halloween candy, like, where's that little red wrapper?
Ah crackle? I like my chocolate. I have some puffed
rice in it. The Trusty, nothing too fancy, nothing too nasty.

(43:02):
You're a solid source of one or two enjoyable or tradable,
fun sized treats. And then you got the legend. These
are your full sized candy bars, the legend we shall
one day tell our own kids of you, good sir,
and the gold plated private jet you must have lying
around somewhere.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
I've been a legend, you know, I have been a legend.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
There's no classification for what Lucy is now, and that
is never turns her house lights on. All the lights
in her house are off. She's either down in the
basement watching TV, or is she checked into a hotel.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
Now here's the part of the show where Lucy says
she's glad she doesn't have kids.

Speaker 2 (43:44):
No, it doesn't matter. None of that matters what I
do now because I have achieved legend hood. Legendaries can't
say it.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
You have not achieved it.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
That email says I have and we gave out full
sized candy bars one year. That's about eight or nine.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
It's been a while. Yeah, Lucy checks into a hotel.
When kids are staying in a hotel on Halloween, do
they go door to door at the hotel? If you're
at a hotel in Halloween, should you have a little
bit of candy line around?

Speaker 2 (44:17):
I can tell you Nope.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
No, not Section eight apartment housing like when you grew
up don't talk about a hotel on Halloween.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
Oh that's a whole story. No, they don't go door
to door at the at the hotels. I don't know.
Maybe they do.

Speaker 1 (44:35):
How can you tell if you live in an apartment
complex and you want to go trick or treating in
your neighbors, how can you tell your neighbors are open
for business on the trick or treating. It's not like
the house lights are on anything. You're on the third floor.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
Well, I think in the past they could just leave
the door propped open, would be my guess.

Speaker 1 (44:51):
Not in the apartments that I've lived in in my life.

Speaker 2 (44:55):
Well, you're a few.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
Yeah. If you you leave the door half open, your
bed's gonna be fully gone, your stereo will be fully gone.

Speaker 2 (45:06):
Yeah, I don't think you do it today.

Speaker 1 (45:10):
All right, Yeah, there's no classification for you that you
don't engage in the trick or treating. That's fine. You
don't have to.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
But like I said, I have so I've done my service.
All Right, I'm good.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
Gotta look after these kids because they're gonna look after us.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
If the price of chocolate goes down, I will be
a part of it.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
You're the cheap skate.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
I'm not getting any candy back.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
How expensive is chocolate?

Speaker 2 (45:35):
Five dollars? Really?

Speaker 1 (45:36):
Five dollars for chocolate?

Speaker 2 (45:38):
Fifteen of the little tiny.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
Oh it is not go to the right. We're going
to the store. We are. We're gonna see how how
expensive chocolate is.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
I'm gonna see how much ramen I can buy for
your chocolate.

Speaker 1 (45:49):
You're not handing out ramen for Halloween either. I figure
everyone does the same thing for Halloween that I do.
And that's why I always get mad when my wife
buys the Halloween candy. Why because she never gets the
good stuff. The guy's got to do the Halloween candy.
That's in fact, that's what you should ask if if

(46:10):
you've got savvy kids, just float it in the neighborhood
like you ask their friends. So, who buys a Halloween
candy in your house? Mom or Dad? If it's mom,
it's probably all right. But if it's dad, hit that
house because he buys the good stuff because he knows
there's gonna be some leftovers and he wants to eat it.

(46:30):
If you know there's gonna be leftovers, then you buy
the good stuff so you get a chance to eat it.
Nothing worse of being leftover Halloween candy that you don't want,
and that's the stuff that their wife buys. You're like,
there's nothing in here but allmond joy. That's not that's
not a joy for anybody.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
It is, though, Do I qualify it for handing out candy?
If I just get a couple bags of candy corn
and just take a handful and throw them in the bag,
does that count?

Speaker 1 (46:56):
That's that's under this classification. You are the psychopath. Your
soul must be as dark as black licorice. Don't worry
about poisoning the candy. No one's going to eat this stuff. Yeah.
If you do that, though, don't pull it out of
the bag, pull it out of your pocket. Here you go, kids,

(47:19):
I might it's just lenty loose candy corn. As I
was saying, though, we got to take care of these kids,
because these kids are going to take care of us.
Next story, California eighth grader just took home the title
of America's top young scientists. I'll tell you what he

(47:40):
did next. Scotty Andrew says, Scott, your wife buys the
Halloween candy and doesn't buy the good stuff. She's trying
to prevent you from eating all the candy before halloweens,
so there'll be some left for the trick of treaters.

Speaker 2 (47:53):
Yeah, she ever heard of hiding it. She's a mom.
She's got to be very well versed in.

Speaker 1 (47:59):
High She's been hiding it for years. What David emails
and says Lucy is correct. Let's see here, bags of
candy are running about five dollars a bag this year.
I was at two stores yesterday and this was the
average price. Well, how many chocolates are in a bag
of candy.

Speaker 2 (48:19):
Can't be more than fifteen.

Speaker 1 (48:21):
How many kids are actually coming to your neighborhood. I
don't get too many kids. At least it's been better
the last couple of years. For a while there it
was nothing. But I'm not going to complain about that now.
So that's the other thing I would like for the
kids in the neighborhood, though, to make reservations in advance,
so I know how many to prep for.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
Excuse me, do you have reservations? Yeah, get off my lawn.

Speaker 1 (48:47):
Tigger treat. Oh looks like we got a Frankenstein. Let
me check the list. Yeah, I didn't didn't get an
RSVP for a Frankenstein. Here, it's Frankenstein's Monster. No one
likes you, kid, move it along?

Speaker 2 (49:00):
Is the whole party here, Frankenstein.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
How come Frankenstein's Monster never goes trick or treating with Igor?
Frankenstein and Igor? Those kids can get the deed to
my house, like, it's yours, take what you want? Great?

Speaker 2 (49:16):
I would, I would go find here's a whole cake.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
Yeah, kids come over dressed as Frankenstein and Igor, carrying
a jar that says ab normal. Those kids like, hey,
you can take your pick. Like, what do you got here?
Just a bunch of nineties CDs? It's nothing but gin
Blossoms and Live Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
I've a sealed copy of the movie. I'll give it
to him and DVD sealed copy of what movie? Young Frankenstein?

Speaker 1 (49:48):
Oh that okay? Yes, sorry, didn't even dawn on me.
I should probably ding the eighties movie reference unless that
was nineteen seventy nine. California eighth grader just took home
the title of America's Top Young Scientist, buddying doctor Frankenstein.
It's a twenty five thousand dollars prize. What's this kid
gonna do with it?

Speaker 2 (50:09):
What did he do to get it.

Speaker 1 (50:12):
Thirteen year old Kevin developed fall guard. Fall Guard. This
is what happened. His grandma fell in the house. He's like,
I got to help this very old lady. Well, he's thirteen.
How old is his grandma? She's probably still in her fifties.
I have to help my dear, sweet old grandmother and

(50:34):
other very old ladies like I'm fifty eight. We have
kids a little bit younger in this family. It's not
so he his grandma fell in the house, and she's like,
it's not because I'm old. I came home from hanging
out with a friend the other night and I took

(50:56):
one step in the house. I didn't realize that there
was a bottle of laundry detergent that was leaking on
this slick tile floor, and I bit it right there
as I walked into the house in the dark, which
may or may not have happened to someone I know
the other night, not my wife. She was out with
a friend, like Sue fell down. Oh really, what happened?

Speaker 2 (51:17):
We so this is to do that?

Speaker 1 (51:20):
Yeah, this would be like someone like I have to
help my poor grandma, Like I'm fifty nine years old.
I slipped. It happens but he thought, we have to
watch out because falls are very common for older adults
and probably, if not the right up there is the

(51:41):
leading cause of injury for a lot of older Americans.
And sometimes when they fall down, they don't always have
a phone handy, and you can't be crawling around, you know,
trying to get the phone. And they're like, well, I
might maybe they have life alert, maybe they don't. Maybe
they're not wearing at the time, and you can't just
apparently he's never seen the commercial, Like, kid, this technology

(52:05):
already exists. It's called I'm falling and I can't get up.

Speaker 2 (52:13):
You what else works? I'm in the clapper because if
you're laying on the floor, you just keep clapping. The
light was on, like was off?

Speaker 1 (52:20):
No, but that okay. Oh, you're saying, well, I have
to wait till nighttime and hope that the neighbors see
the light flashing on and.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
Off, and you have to have enough strength to keep it.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
Your husband, who got to dishonorably discharge from the Navy,
is like, I'll handle this. It's Morse code. Oh, she says,
these potato chips are delicious. She's fine, Like, you don't
know Morse code. So the kid kid developed something called
fall Guard. Here's what fall Guard is. It's not something

(52:52):
that helps your gutters. Yeah, it's wrapping Grandma and bubble tape.
I think fall Guard. I think, isn't that a gutter
system that helps you not have to clean your gutters?
And then you call into our radio show having just
fallen off a ladder and the guy beraates you.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
I thought it was I thought it was the series
from the eighties.

Speaker 1 (53:15):
That's Fall Guy. Solid movie reboot on that one. Ryan Gosling. Yeah. Yeah,
they did a really good job, but it was super fun.
It's not the Fall Guy. What a sweet truck. Fall Guard.
Here's here's what this kid thought of. He's like, well,
why don't we just put cameras everywhere in the house.

Speaker 2 (53:41):
She's not getting any action that one might as well.

Speaker 1 (53:45):
I'm sixty two, I still get action. Yeah, fall Guard.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
Do they tell her about the camera?

Speaker 1 (53:51):
I don't know. It's a camera based monitoring system that
uses an algorithm he programmed himself to spot fall and
alert caregivers if she suddenly hits the floor.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
Why they just put sensors in the floor.

Speaker 1 (54:06):
Then, well, I just got cameras everywhere so he developed
He developed three different types of technology with this one
detect falls number two to Lucy's disgusting mind, what kind
of goes into option three, which is a fun series
which may or may not be X rated called Let's
Watch Grandma Commas.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
Yeah Samas, No, that's that's what that's Grandma.

Speaker 1 (54:35):
That's Let's eat Grandma Commas, Save lives. Yeah, this fun
series called Let's watch Grandma Uh some Grandma's. It costs
about you know, ninety dollars to install fall guard, But
if you really do this right, you could make that
minute by minute, depending on what kind of show you're

(54:58):
putting on. A yeah, there'd be some people and they'd
be watching it, going. I didn't watch. I don't want
to watch Grandma's you know, hot Grandma action. I wanted
to watch her bake pie.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
I wonder if you channel for that.

Speaker 1 (55:13):
You could do any series of channels baking people can
just watch Grandma.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
OnlyFans I'd watch.

Speaker 1 (55:23):
I want to watch the really angry Grandma's constantly walking
around throwing stuff and cussing, except it's like old Grandma
cussing a fiddle.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
Flapper, never throwing anything away.

Speaker 3 (55:36):
Dandam it.

Speaker 1 (55:39):
Sounds. I want to watch angry Grandma just walking around
getting getting angry at shadows, mad at everything. Oh man,
I would I would zoom to the channel to watch
Grandma on a night when Dancing with the Stars is on,

(56:01):
and suddenly Emily Roller breaks in for weather alert for
some thunderstorm watch that's two counties away. God dagdam it anyway, fiddlesticks.

Speaker 2 (56:16):
How much he made on this?

Speaker 1 (56:17):
She would get so mad. I would pay five ninety
nine a minute to watch that.

Scott Gohees News Radio eleven ten kfab.

Speaker 1 (56:28):
The Washington Post has got a really wrong boy. If
you if you want to just spend all day reading
a news story, This report from the Washington Post, an
investigative peace that suggests that young people in the corn
belt are just ravaged with cancer, says that the top

(56:53):
six corn producing states Iowa, Nebraska. Kills me to point
out that Iowa produces more corn than Nebraska. Iowa has
bad corn. My favorite T shirts for that November football game.
Iowa has bad corn. Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, and Kansas.

(57:19):
Is that in order Kansas produces.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
I thought Kansas only makes wheat corn.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
Yeah, there's a lot of wheat down there in Kansas.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
But in tornadoes.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
But when you think of corn, you would Minnesota produces
more corn than Kansas.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
It can't be in order.

Speaker 1 (57:38):
Is this what they say the top six corn producing states?
And it lists in this order, which isn't geographically in order? Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana,
Kansas have significantly higher cancer rates among young adults, which

(58:00):
I'm happy to point out is those age fifteen to
forty nine.

Speaker 2 (58:04):
Is this just over the past four years.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
Since twenty fifteen? What is this a COVID reference? No COVID.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
I just want to know how far back it went
ten years.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
I just I got to pause for a second and say,
I'm kind of happy that young adults, for purposes of
the story, is age fifteen to forty nine.

Speaker 2 (58:29):
Oh yeah, you fall into that category. I mean, so
do I.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
For another year and a few days. I turned forty nine.
Early next week. I'll try and remember to bring in cake.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
Don't worry.

Speaker 1 (58:43):
Don't worry.

Speaker 2 (58:44):
You seem to get upset.

Speaker 1 (58:45):
So I can look at my son. So I can
look at my son, who turned sixteen about a week
after I turned forty nine, and go, hey, bro, we're
in the same category.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
That's not that's not a category you want to be in, though.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Young adults is. But they're talking about rate. No, it's
not like cancer is like when you hit fifty cancers
like ah nuts, like it can't get you anymore. Obviously,
as you go on in life, you have more of
a cancer concern on any front. So it says though

(59:22):
that I mean immediately the response they want you to
have here is these are the top six corn producing
states significantly higher cancer rates among young people. So obviously
what's happening is the pesticides used in corn producing agg
Midwest country is either grabbing kids in their bed at

(59:48):
night and giving them cancer, or it's leached into the soil,
which is then leached into our food, which is then
leached into our water, which is in our air. Which
kids or these kids in the Midwest. This is from
the Washington Post, you know. So they think these kids
are just working sun up to sun down on the farm,

(01:00:08):
all of them. They see no difference between ag rural
Nebraska and the incredibly cosmopolitan Omaha. So they think all
these kids just running around just shoveling pesticides onto the
ground into their mouths. They just eat. They're like, this
stuff looks like candy and they're just eating pesticide and

(01:00:31):
they wash it down with a glass of pesticide and
they're just pesticide. And does all these kids have cancer
all over the place? All right? So let's take a
look here. I am not a doctor. I don't know
about the ongoing debate related to pesticides active ingredient in

(01:00:52):
either this weed killer or what. I hope that someone
is taking a real serious look at all this stuff
and not tied into either this lobby or that one,
or that's this ax to grind or whatever. But then
the argument is is that, Okay, well this is a
significantly higher cancer rate. Well what is it like if

(01:01:15):
you live here in Nebraska, are you what do you
consider to be significantly higher in terms of percentage? You
have a this percentage chance more to develop cancer in
this state than in a very liberal, non corn producing
state like California, because we don't allow that stuff in California.

(01:01:37):
So what percentage higher do you think is significantly higher?

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
My question would be, if this is basically.

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
Gonna need an answer with a number, you're gonna kah,
I'm gonna, I'm go be cause I'm gonna tell you
the number.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
You have a number, have the number, Okay, when you
significantly when you're.

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
Here, significantly higher, what's the number? It comes to mind?

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
A ten percent?

Speaker 1 (01:01:59):
See, I would think closer like twenty percent, Like how
much is it? It's not just higher, it's significantly higher.
Twenty five Data from twenty twenty two shows that these
states have a five percent higher rate among young adults
as well as for the overall population five percents, not

(01:02:20):
significantly higher. And then they start talking about not just
like brain cancer, you know, pediatric brain cancer. The rates
of Nebraska are scary, how much higher they are. They
talk about kidney cancer's breast cancer. And then it's also
skin cancer. Young women in the region are faced with

(01:02:43):
a sixty six percent higher skin cancer risk than peers elsewhere.
Now that's significantly higher. But I'm wondering if when it
comes to like skin cancer rates. First of all, I
wonder if I'm throwing off the curve my fair skin
aka translucent, pale white skin. I could go in every

(01:03:06):
week and get treated for cancer, skin cancer, pre cancer,
benign this, you know, my dermatologists could retire if I
went every single day. I got marks on my face
right now, But that's because she slaps me a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:03:25):
When you have significant rates like this, especially as you
just talked about, not the five percent, but you have
to look at the things that are the environmental changes
that are going on. If they're going to cap this
at forty nine, is it fair to say, let's look
back forty nine years ago. We'll make it round number

(01:03:45):
fifty years ago. If we look back fifty years ago,
what changed in pesticides or in the way that the
ground is being treated for just everything. What are the
crop rotations? You can have to go back to that,
because if they're going to cap it at fifty, something
happened fifty years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:04:05):
Yeah. I don't know why they have it up to
the age of forty nine, but they do say across
all demos, overall population, right, Yeah, But it also points
out Iowa has the fifth highest rate of cancer among adults,
just all adults. And I would think, though, but if

(01:04:25):
it has to do with all these things that they're
hinting at, you know, the exposure of farm chemicals and
the water, groundwater, night rate, pollution, that kind of thing,
I would think that all of us would have cancer
here in Nebraska and Iowa, and it would be number
one and number two in the country, and it would
not be something we would brag about. But then they
start talking about like we have naturally high rate on

(01:04:48):
levels in our soil. Well, that's naturally occurring. That's not
anything anyone's polluting. They talk about skin cancer rates. Well,
I don't know about you, but all of us here
in the Midwest, we spent all day playing outside when
we are kids. None of us wore anything even closely
related to sunscreen. In fact, a lot of it says

(01:05:09):
like women in the area have a sixty six percent
higher skin cancer risk. Weren't you girls off putting crisco
on and going out and just laying out and tanning
all day?

Speaker 2 (01:05:17):
Yeah, but you're talking about in the seventies and eighties.
That's forty years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:05:21):
I know. But these are the rates that now they're
older and they're getting.

Speaker 2 (01:05:25):
The very tail end of that, the very tail end
of that group.

Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
Yeah, but we're also we're we're we got a lot
of white people around here. Well, white people do worse,
I think when it comes to various skin cancer. It's
because we're all white.

Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
But you look at the rates of people on the
coasts who are all of the generally speaking, more vain.
And then you look at the people who are in
the southwest too, generally speaking, or spending a lot more
time in the sun than here we are in the Midwest.
And so those are the people that have gotten used
to the sun over small amounts of time, because the

(01:06:00):
sun is not a bad thing. You need sunlight.

Speaker 1 (01:06:06):
Well, this just in from Lucy Chapman. The Sun's not
a bad thing. Shut up about the sun.

Speaker 3 (01:06:12):
Shut up about the sun.

Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
Sorry you usually, I know we love that SoundBite. But
I think if we're talking about cancer, I think it's
probably just this horrible cocktail of all of the above. Yeah,
there have probably been some larger agg producers who have
not done as much care and quality control. And I
think that's the key as your as your mom and
pop generational farm farmers who know what they're doing. They're like, Oh,

(01:06:38):
we're gonna come in here and just whack away at this,
we're gonna treat that, and we're gonna spray that, and
is fine, It'll be all fine. I think there's a
lot of that. I think also we don't exactly eat
and drink probably very well for our health here in
the Midwest, and we're a bunch of pale white people
who have more problem with skin cancer. I mean that
that's my assessment. A.

Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
Well, it's not that it is because we don't. It's
all of the chemicals that were in the sunscreens that
we're only just now learning about.

Speaker 1 (01:07:06):
Yeah. So I guess if you are a young adult
up to age forty nine here in Nebraska and Iowa,
if you just move, like, where's the closest we can
move to, Well, if you go up to South Dakota
or down in Missouri, apparently you're fine. Not even cancer
be not even cancer wants to go to South Dakota. Okay,

(01:07:27):
I don't know why I took a gratuitous shot South Dakota.
Good people up there, good fishing. All right, we'll wrap
up this show.

Speaker 3 (01:07:34):
Next, Scott Bodes.

Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
I didn't see the clip, it says. A viral clip
shows Trump breaking into his signature dance moves as he
kicks off a tour of Japan, and then he's he's
meeting with the uh, the Emperor and the new Prime
Minister over there, who apparently is a former TV host
who plays the drums and a woman in Japan head

(01:07:59):
up to South Korea, and then on Thursday he'll meet
with Chinese premiere Xijingping. Stop me if you've heard this before.
Doesn't feel like every other week we get something from
the White House that says America and China have agreed
on the framework for a trade deal. And as we
were just talking about agg production here out of Nebraska

(01:08:21):
and Iowa, I hope this trade deal is heavy on
Let's make sure we're exporting a lot of whether it's
soybeans or beef for whatever. Let's make sure our farmers
are taken care of at least as much as our
thirteen year old girls on TikTok, because all I hear
about is they're going to negotiate and try and find
a way to make sure that TikTok survives. I don't

(01:08:45):
know if young people know how this works, but if
TikTok goes away, you don't die. If the food supply
here goes away, you can't survive. On a social media
app where it's like, hey, guys, check out these dance moves.

Speaker 2 (01:09:02):
They probably just think they can call door dash.

Speaker 1 (01:09:04):
Right, Yeah, we'll just get Uber eats. What's the problem
