Speaker 1 (00:00):
I guess some people emailing going, did you and Lucy
really just six seven? Chuck Grassley, Yes, we did, and
now you're seeing Lucy why this six seven phenomenon is
kind of fun. I think since we're fairly new to
it that the there is a shelf life to it.
(00:22):
But you're hit it. Yeah, you're seeing how often the
six seven comes up here if you're not familiar. There
was a rap song referencing six seven. No one's really
sure what six seven is referencing. It could be a
street in Philadelphia, could be a basketball player's height. It
(00:44):
could even be the periodic table reference to ho meum
and the two letter abbreviation for homium on periodic table
number six seven is ho soul. It could be anything,
but the idea is is when six seven comes up,
(01:06):
little like high school kids, middle school kids, little kids
are losing their minds for a while. There. The Nebraska
Minnesota football game on Friday night was six to seven.
They announced that at a high school football game, everyone
literally exploded. They spontaneously combusted the high school kids. Right
(01:30):
now Nebraska Minnesota. Nebraska's losing Minnesota by a score is
six to seven. Kids went crazy. The high temperature today
sixty seven. So you're seeing how often this kind of
thing comes up. And here's a bit more on the
phenomenon from our friend Butters from the school of South Park.
(01:54):
You want to know what tennight will cut this morning?
What time around six seven?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Hey, any ladies, did you guys do your homework last day?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I tried, but I got.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Nary. I know about hers. I know, don't do it
to me. It's too funny. South Park took on six
to seven the other night. So here trying to figure
out what's going on with these darn kids today is
something that's not nearly as funny, but it got people's attention.
(02:32):
At a kid's preschool near one hundred and seventy sixth
close enough, six seven here near one seventy sixth and
Maple Streets. Oh, that's here, yep. This happened on Friday.
(02:53):
Statement went out from the academy and said, we're just
letting everyone know parents that we have prompted. We got
an investigation, prompted by a kid bringing something for Show
and Share.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
I used to love Show and Tell and this please
show and share.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
No, there's I don't think show and Tell is a
thing anymore. It's show and Share, so you.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Have to bring something to share.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I don't know. Okay, yeah, it's uh they call it
show and Share. Now.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Is that like Sonny and Share?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yes, it's like Sonny. Just like Sonny and Okay no,
just like just like Jesse James.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
It's like Jesse James. All right, what do you bring?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
A great song? Maybe maybe the best song by Share.
I know it's a little controversial statement, but I'm willing
to stand by it's a great tune, underrated.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
It's not bad.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, show and can I just say show and tell?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I prefer it.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Did we have to take everything and make it worse?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Well, yes, but go ahead and make it better again.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
A kid, I don't even know. I don't think they do.
Before I get to the story, I don't think they
do show and tell anymore in the schools, probably because
they're like, oh, yeah, some you know, some kids have
better toys than other kids, and so it made the
poor kids feel bad when rich kids shows up like, oh,
(04:23):
I want to show you this really sweet thing I got.
It's a hoverboard, and then they just like write it
all around the room and they're like, how about you Charlie,
what do you got? I got a rock?
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Oh is waiting for that?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
So we don't want to make anyone feel bad, so
we just don't have kids do show and tell. Show
and Tell was a very valuable thing for youth about
having to get up in front of your classmates and
speak extemporaneously about a thing you are going to show
them and tell them about. It was a lot of
anxiety the night before, like, oh, I gotta do, I
(05:01):
gotta I'm up for Show and Tell tomorrow. What am I?
What am I gonna show him? You got to pick
just the right item. It's something that is cool. It
shows like hey, I'm a cool kid. Look with the
kind of thing I have. But also it's gotta be
a story behind it, not anything too you know, ostentatious
to be like we just went to Hawaii and here
(05:24):
I have a live starfish and you know, like you
got the starfish sucking away on your hand or whatever,
like get off starfish, ha ha ha. You know. So,
you know, you gotta find just the right thing to show, like, yeah,
I've got I got something kind of cool here, not
too cool, but not lame. And I have to be
able to speak about it for a minute or two.
(05:46):
I mean, the anxiety of what is this going to be?
Overshadows the memory of anything I actually brought for show
and tell. I don't remember a single thing I ever
brought for show and tell, but I remember the feeling
of and to find something to tell my classmates and
stand there and talk to them, which, believe it or not,
(06:07):
I was way too nervous to do when I was
a kid. I got over it.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
You know what happened to me once I brought in
a package of free government cheese. And what happened was
there were kids in my class that said, hey, wait
a minute, we have that at our house too.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
That story is so fake, Lucy. We all know your
family couldn't afford government cheese.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Well, not on the black market, but if it was
still at the point where the government was giving to
us once it hit the black market, though, I mean, yeah,
we were out.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Lucy's family was so poor. If they were gonna have cheese,
Lucy had to run around the neighborhood wearing pants on
a hot summer day. I don't know either. I don't
all right. I think she just got it. Okay, So
a kid brought in an item from home for show
(07:11):
and tell to a Northwest Omaha preschool on Friday. I
don't know at what point teachers thought, way, ho, whoa,
what do we do? But the kid apparently brought a
loaded handgun to show and tell? This is preschool. It's
like a three or four year old kid, patriot. Yes,
(07:34):
someone else had just done their show and tell. And
what do you have to bring for us? Timmy? Oh,
this is a fidget spinner. When I'm feeling anxious about something,
I just spin this fidget spinner around and it makes
me feel better. Like whatever, Timmy, that is so twenty seventeen.
(07:55):
What I sit out? No? But what else? What else
we got? Johnny's like, I got something to show you guys,
all right, what is it? Little Johnny? And he pulls
out of his backpack a gun? A loaded handgun?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
How?
Speaker 3 (08:12):
How how does this happen?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Well, either the kid knew I probably shouldn't take this
to class, or maybe it's just completely oblivious to it,
because hey, this. I looked around my house to see
what I had to show you guys, and had lots
of these lying around, so I brought one. They're cool, right.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
This is why we can't have show and tell.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, that's why they called it off. It's not thought
that the kid meant anything malicious by it. This could
have been really, really horrible. I'm happy to say that
the gun never went off purposefully or accidentally, and the
teacher immediately grabbed the weapon, placed it in a tote bag,
removed the kids from the area, you know, in case
(09:05):
the gun jumped up out of the tote bag and
was like, I'm gonna do something bad today, even if
no one's holding me. Because we know how how dangerous
guns are when they're just sitting there in a tote bag.
Place the weapon in a tote bag and remove the
kids from an area. Wouldn't it have been easier to
remove the tote bag from the area.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Well, let's be honest. If she's got a loaded gun
just willy nilly in a toe bag, I think she
was better off just leaving it as it is.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, we have to remove everyone from the area.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
If you don't know what you're doing, it's in there.
It's not going to shoot you, I know, but I know. Look,
if you don't know how to handle a firearm, don't.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
The preschool teacher was obviously in a I didn't see
this coming state of mind. Right, this was not the
worst thing the teacher could have done. So the teacher
places the weapon in a bag, gets the kids out
of the It's doesn't say from the room, says it
got the kids out of the area. The kids. The
(10:09):
kids were found in Fort Wayne, Indiana. This is where
we ran out of gas. I got them as far
away from the gun as possible. Like, yeah, but you
drove through Chicago. That was a really bad idea. You
would have needed it, right, Yes, you could have used that.
(10:29):
And now it says we notified the front office. The
front office notified the police. The child will not return
to school until and this is what the the preschool
says about it. The child will not return to school
until an investigation is complete. As we're reaching out to
(10:49):
families to make sure they're all aware about school rules
and protocols that contribute to a safe environment.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Does that need to.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Be a rule?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Do you need to write this down?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Apparently they think or they're leaving open the possibility that
there's a parent out there who didn't see any problem
with letting their kid take a loaded handgun to school. Yeah,
we're just making sure I mean you signed the handbook
at the start of the year, Expresley says in here
(11:20):
no firearms allowed in here. Oh did it say that?
See where I went to preschool, we all had loaded guns,
leaving open the possibility that maybe we just need to
just making sure you know the rules. We don't want
kids with guns in here. Oh well, no one told me.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
And I think it's okay. If people are getting upset
that we're making fun of it, I think it's okay
to do that when nobody has been hurt, that you
can talk about this and remind people don't be stupid.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I know, yeah, the kid will not return to school.
I don't think it's the kid's fault. No, if har
there and this, I don't have it. Still haven't heard
any charges, any charges against the whatever whatever meets the
(12:15):
description loose description of a parental unit in this kid's life.
Any charges here.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I would think that would come a little later if
there were going to be any.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I will even make that sound as I go out
on a limb and say, can I envision a scenario
where the parent is not at fault? I can, and
you are going to be able to too. Here's how
this works very responsible parent, even a parent that might
(12:46):
have as dumb as this is. But if you have
kids in the house, yeah, you handle your house. I'll
handle mine. But this is a parent who's so nervous
about it that the gun was hidden somewhere in the gutters,
and the bullets were buried somewhere in the basement. Like
we dug a hole. We filled it with concrete, and
(13:07):
the bullets were down there. The gun was up there.
Never the twigs shall meet unless someone breaks in the house.
You're like an intruder. I've been waiting for this. Hang on,
sit there for a second. I'll be right back, running upstairs,
running downstairs. You still waiting there? Can I get you anything?
Hang on, I'm about to deal with you. But who
would be resourceful enough if there is a firearm in
(13:32):
the house, even if the guns and the bullets are
all locked away and all that, Who would be resourceful
enough to find out find things that they're not supposed
to find in the house? Any kid, any four year
old kid in the world. I bet you guys are
(13:53):
excited to find out what you're getting for Christmas. I
already know. How could you really think I wouldn't look there.
I always knew in inside the gas tank. Did you
really think I wouldn't look the first place I looked? Kids?
They're diabolical. They're diabolical. So as we can all agree
(14:17):
with that, as most of us can agree with that.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Oh, here's the part of the show where Lucy says
she's glad she doesn't have kids.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I will open up the possibility that maybe a parent's
not at fault. They probably are. Though, here's something else
about these darn kids today. The story here from this
is from a Fox television affiliate in southwest Florida. But
the story I'm seeing it picked up by lots of
different media outlets today. And let's see who coupon follow
(14:54):
I'm immediately leary of the source. One never heard of
you two. It sounds like you're trying to create a
crisis so people realize, Oh, the economy is even worse
than I thought. I must cut coupons or do something
with this website. Either way, well played. You got me
talking about you, because the stat that they have here
(15:16):
is nearly one in five Americans, or as recent OPS
graduates would say, that's nearly half. No, I will never
get tired of that joke. Why Nearly one in five
Americans are planning to skip Halloween this year. Now, not
for all the reasons Lucy does related to. I go
(15:39):
to bed early. I don't want kids on my doorstep.
I hate kids. I hate kids being happy. The sound
of kids laughing makes me furious. I don't want to
spend money on candy that I don't get to eat. No,
I didn't just call you fat. These are all the
reasons that Lucy skips Halloween. Tell me, interrupt me.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
If I'm wrong, wrong and wrong? Okay, I went just briefly.
I went to my little my niece's party on Saturday afternoon.
I couldn't go to the actual parties, and went over
to help. I had a lovely time hanging out with
my great nieces and nephews.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Yeah, were you drunk before you got there? You start
drinking when you got there? Not buying it. Nearly one
in five Americans are planning to skip Halloween due to
rising costs and inflation concerns that are forcing families to
make tough financial decisions about holidays spending. Well, yeah, now wait, please,
(16:41):
what do you mean.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Well, you do have to make decisions about that kind
of stuff. But you also have to consider if you've
got kids that are going to go out trick or treating,
then you're going to get your money back with their
candy and just steal all their candy fight.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
That is one of the points I want to make here.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
If you don't have kids, yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
The first one I think is summed up. And I
went a lot of people don't know this, but I
did go to law school and we would rebut sometimes
to a story like this by saying, oh, rep So
I'm not buying this for a second, no one. Now
here's the part I am buying. There are families out
there that are struggling financially. Yes, this is true, doesn't matter.
(17:22):
Everyone else doing great. There's someone else struggling. Everyone else
is struggling. There's someone else doing great. I mean this
is this is the world in which we live and
always haven't always willed. Yeah, I'm not mocking the fact
that there are some families right now that are struggling
to make ends meet. Not in the least that said
(17:42):
this idea that well, we're just gonna have to cancel Halloween.
We've got our kids, they want to go trick or treating,
but we don't have the money to let them go
trick or treating. To Lucy's point, point number one, it's
free candy. Go out there and get free candy, go
all over the neighborhood. Some of that candy. Can a
Snickers bar replace a meal? I'm not RFK Junior. I'd
(18:06):
say heck yes it can. I'd do it all the time.
So free food, you don't even have to go ask
to the government for it. Just go ask your neighbor.
They'll give it to you. So that's point one, and
then points two through eighteen. Look, I get that there
(18:28):
are some Halloween costumes that you can spend as much
money as you want to on Halloween costumes and decor
and if you're having a party, or if you're spending
money on the good candy and all the rest of
this stuff, yeah, that stuff can get pretty pricey. But
if your kids are looking at you, going Mama, do
I get to go treating next week? And you're like, no,
(18:49):
I'm broke. You're too broke to take an old sheet
and cut two holes in it. You're too broke to
take an eyeliner pencil, borrow one for I'm a friend
and paint that kid up to wear the shoddy clothes
they're already wearing and send them out to look like
a hobo. Like, what do you I'm a hobo? No,
you're not, Lucy. You're dressed exactly the same where you
(19:11):
were at school today.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
I had a little trouble with the scissors.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah, just cut two holes or eighty seven holes in
there and go out dressed as whatever you could. You
could do literally anything with stuff you have right around
the house and go out there and go trick or treating.
You're not too broke to go out and beg for
candy from your neighbors. No one's too broke for that.
(19:38):
I'm my mom out of work, so I don't have feet.
What shit talking about? What? I don't know? I don't
I don't fail to see say any rationale. And I'm
too broke to send my kids out begging for food
on the only night it's socially acceptable to do so.

Well, let's be honest. If she's got a loaded gun
just willy nilly in a toe bag, I think she
was better off just leaving it as it is.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, we have to remove everyone from the area.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
If you don't know what you're doing, it's in there.
It's not going to shoot you, I know, but I know. Look,
if you don't know how to handle a firearm, don't.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
The preschool teacher was obviously in a I didn't see
this coming state of mind. Right, this was not the
worst thing the teacher could have done. So the teacher
places the weapon in a bag, gets the kids out
of the It's doesn't say from the room, says it
got the kids out of the area. The kids. The
(10:09):
kids were found in Fort Wayne, Indiana. This is where
we ran out of gas. I got them as far
away from the gun as possible. Like, yeah, but you
drove through Chicago. That was a really bad idea. You
would have needed it, right, Yes, you could have used that.
(10:29):
And now it says we notified the front office. The
front office notified the police. The child will not return
to school until and this is what the the preschool
says about it. The child will not return to school
until an investigation is complete. As we're reaching out to
(10:49):
families to make sure they're all aware about school rules
and protocols that contribute to a safe environment.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Does that need to.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Be a rule?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Do you need to write this down?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Apparently they think or they're leaving open the possibility that
there's a parent out there who didn't see any problem
with letting their kid take a loaded handgun to school. Yeah,
we're just making sure I mean you signed the handbook
at the start of the year, Expresley says in here
(11:20):
no firearms allowed in here. Oh did it say that?
See where I went to preschool, we all had loaded guns,
leaving open the possibility that maybe we just need to
just making sure you know the rules. We don't want
kids with guns in here. Oh well, no one told me.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
And I think it's okay. If people are getting upset
that we're making fun of it, I think it's okay
to do that when nobody has been hurt, that you
can talk about this and remind people don't be stupid.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I know, yeah, the kid will not return to school.
I don't think it's the kid's fault. No, if har
there and this, I don't have it. Still haven't heard
any charges, any charges against the whatever whatever meets the
(12:15):
description loose description of a parental unit in this kid's life.
Any charges here.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I would think that would come a little later if
there were going to be any.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I will even make that sound as I go out
on a limb and say, can I envision a scenario
where the parent is not at fault? I can, and
you are going to be able to too. Here's how
this works very responsible parent, even a parent that might
(12:46):
have as dumb as this is. But if you have
kids in the house, yeah, you handle your house. I'll
handle mine. But this is a parent who's so nervous
about it that the gun was hidden somewhere in the gutters,
and the bullets were buried somewhere in the basement. Like
we dug a hole. We filled it with concrete, and
(13:07):
the bullets were down there. The gun was up there.
Never the twigs shall meet unless someone breaks in the house.
You're like an intruder. I've been waiting for this. Hang on,
sit there for a second. I'll be right back, running upstairs,
running downstairs. You still waiting there? Can I get you anything?
Hang on, I'm about to deal with you. But who
would be resourceful enough if there is a firearm in
(13:32):
the house, even if the guns and the bullets are
all locked away and all that, Who would be resourceful
enough to find out find things that they're not supposed
to find in the house? Any kid, any four year
old kid in the world. I bet you guys are
(13:53):
excited to find out what you're getting for Christmas. I
already know. How could you really think I wouldn't look there.
I always knew in inside the gas tank. Did you
really think I wouldn't look the first place I looked? Kids?
They're diabolical. They're diabolical. So as we can all agree
(14:17):
with that, as most of us can agree with that.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Oh, here's the part of the show where Lucy says
she's glad she doesn't have kids.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I will open up the possibility that maybe a parent's
not at fault. They probably are. Though, here's something else
about these darn kids today. The story here from this
is from a Fox television affiliate in southwest Florida. But
the story I'm seeing it picked up by lots of
different media outlets today. And let's see who coupon follow
(14:54):
I'm immediately leary of the source. One never heard of
you two. It sounds like you're trying to create a
crisis so people realize, Oh, the economy is even worse
than I thought. I must cut coupons or do something
with this website. Either way, well played. You got me
talking about you, because the stat that they have here
(15:16):
is nearly one in five Americans, or as recent OPS
graduates would say, that's nearly half. No, I will never
get tired of that joke. Why Nearly one in five
Americans are planning to skip Halloween this year. Now, not
for all the reasons Lucy does related to. I go
(15:39):
to bed early. I don't want kids on my doorstep.
I hate kids. I hate kids being happy. The sound
of kids laughing makes me furious. I don't want to
spend money on candy that I don't get to eat. No,
I didn't just call you fat. These are all the
reasons that Lucy skips Halloween. Tell me, interrupt me.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
If I'm wrong, wrong and wrong? Okay, I went just briefly.
I went to my little my niece's party on Saturday afternoon.
I couldn't go to the actual parties, and went over
to help. I had a lovely time hanging out with
my great nieces and nephews.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Yeah, were you drunk before you got there? You start
drinking when you got there? Not buying it. Nearly one
in five Americans are planning to skip Halloween due to
rising costs and inflation concerns that are forcing families to
make tough financial decisions about holidays spending. Well, yeah, now wait, please,
(16:41):
what do you mean.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Well, you do have to make decisions about that kind
of stuff. But you also have to consider if you've
got kids that are going to go out trick or treating,
then you're going to get your money back with their
candy and just steal all their candy fight.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
That is one of the points I want to make here.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
If you don't have kids, yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
The first one I think is summed up. And I
went a lot of people don't know this, but I
did go to law school and we would rebut sometimes
to a story like this by saying, oh, rep So
I'm not buying this for a second, no one. Now
here's the part I am buying. There are families out
there that are struggling financially. Yes, this is true, doesn't matter.
(17:22):
Everyone else doing great. There's someone else struggling. Everyone else
is struggling. There's someone else doing great. I mean this
is this is the world in which we live and
always haven't always willed. Yeah, I'm not mocking the fact
that there are some families right now that are struggling
to make ends meet. Not in the least that said
(17:42):
this idea that well, we're just gonna have to cancel Halloween.
We've got our kids, they want to go trick or treating,
but we don't have the money to let them go
trick or treating. To Lucy's point, point number one, it's
free candy. Go out there and get free candy, go
all over the neighborhood. Some of that candy. Can a
Snickers bar replace a meal? I'm not RFK Junior. I'd
(18:06):
say heck yes it can. I'd do it all the time.
So free food, you don't even have to go ask
to the government for it. Just go ask your neighbor.
They'll give it to you. So that's point one, and
then points two through eighteen. Look, I get that there
(18:28):
are some Halloween costumes that you can spend as much
money as you want to on Halloween costumes and decor
and if you're having a party, or if you're spending
money on the good candy and all the rest of
this stuff, yeah, that stuff can get pretty pricey. But
if your kids are looking at you, going Mama, do
I get to go treating next week? And you're like, no,
(18:49):
I'm broke. You're too broke to take an old sheet
and cut two holes in it. You're too broke to
take an eyeliner pencil, borrow one for I'm a friend
and paint that kid up to wear the shoddy clothes
they're already wearing and send them out to look like
a hobo. Like, what do you I'm a hobo? No,
you're not, Lucy. You're dressed exactly the same where you
(19:11):
were at school today.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
I had a little trouble with the scissors.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah, just cut two holes or eighty seven holes in
there and go out dressed as whatever you could. You
could do literally anything with stuff you have right around
the house and go out there and go trick or treating.
You're not too broke to go out and beg for
candy from your neighbors. No one's too broke for that.
(19:38):
I'm my mom out of work, so I don't have feet.
What shit talking about? What? I don't know? I don't
I don't fail to see say any rationale. And I'm
too broke to send my kids out begging for food
on the only night it's socially acceptable to do so.
