Talk Radio Potpourri

Today's delightful batch reeks of new car smell, Schoolhouse Rocks, a Trumpdate, and whatever it is that Cass County smells like.

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Scott Vordiez, good morning, Goodmorning, Lucy Chapman. It's Barry Day.
It's oh my gosh, that's right, it's Tuesday, Barry Manilow.
I really enjoyed saying this on theradio last week when we noted we just
played a big portion of Lucy's conversationwith Barry Manilow. Lucy Moonlights on Omaha's

(00:23):
Greatest Hits ninety nine point nine KGras Lucy works more than anyone in radio,
and we played a big portion ofher conversation last week with Barry Manilow,
and then went into a commercial forthe Big Barry manilo Show tonight,
and it says join Barry Manilow ashe says goodbye to Omaha. Now everyone's

(00:45):
taken that, as Barry Manilow isdoing his final tour with its final stop
in Omaha. I don't know that. I'm so sure when it says joined
Barry Manilow as he said goodbye toOmaha. I wonder if he's going to
put an end to Omaha somehow.I hope that there's security. Just because

(01:10):
he writes the songs that the CopaCabana doesn't mean he gets to pass right
through security. I want to knowwhat's on the tour bus. I want
to know what's in his pockets.I want people on the rooftops. I
mean, don't take this lightly.It could be that Barry Manilow is coming
here to end Omaha and I spenttoo much time and too much effort in
this town to let you know,some guy singing about, Oh Mandy,

(01:34):
come in here and destroy my hometown. This is where my family lives.
So I'm just saying, it's probablyjust that he's making his last stop here
in Omaha. But let's not takeour eye off the ball. That's all
I'm saying. Maybe it's not thatat all. Maybe he's just trying to
get the feeling again and so hopefullyit won't be his last stop in Omahall

(02:02):
well, I don't know that anyonetruly believes that anyone's farewell tour is their
farewell tour. Well, that's true. And I've said before that he's he's
not stopping performing because he's got aresidency in in Vegas. Of course he
does. Why they got to goto Vegas. We've got casinos and council

(02:23):
bluffs and we're about to open upsome new stuff here. He could have
a residency at Horseman's Park. Ourcasinos here don't really have performance areas inside.
I mean you have the Whiskey theWhiskey, Ye, I think Barry
Manilow where you could reach out andtouch him at the Whiskey Roadhouse would be
awesome. They've got a nice auditoriumthere at Harris Or maybe he could,

(02:49):
you know, maybe spend a weekendin New England and do some casinos there.
Are you going to go to Burrytonight and be here brighton early tomorrow
morning to do traffic reporting? No? In fact, I was just getting
ready to type out, Hey,is it too late to take a vacation
day tomorrow? Just let me know, Okay, I'm letting you know right
now. Okay, I gotta downhere recorded traffic. I'm super excited about

(03:13):
it to be a national traffic reports. Yeah. I got a concert this
week, but it's not till Fridaynight. I got a It's l king
at the Steelhouse. Do you wantto hear about the Higway your car could
murder you today? Yes? Thisone isn't quite in the same vein as
my Berry Manilow take. This oneactually has a little science behind it.

(03:36):
Oh, we haven't played. Ihaven't played hit this button in a while.
It's got a little science behind it. During COVID, we were playing
science all the time. We're talkingabout science all the time. I'll take
the credit for that one. That'sright. That was a Lucy decision.
Here's the way that today in Omaha, your new car might murder you.

(04:00):
According to scientists from the Beijing Instituteof Technology as well as Peaking University,
they found that temperatures that start approachingabout one hundred degrees fahrenheit. What's the
high temperature going to be today?About one hundred degrees fahrenheit inside your car,

(04:20):
you could fry eggs, you couldbake a full picking duck if you
want to. When you have thesehot temperatures inside of a car, obviously
you know how bad that can be. But when you have these hot temperatures
inside of a new car, it'seven more dangerous. Do you want to
venture a guess as to why thatmight be for your new car? Yes?

(04:46):
And why would that be? Chemicals? The new car smell is deadly?
Okay, not deadly? Well,yeah, you said it can murder
you, so maybe it is deadly. Here's what the scientists say. The
new car smell is a the chemicalcocktail of VOCs volatile organic compounds, and
they're obviously within the vehicle's interior.No dr So the study says, well,

(05:12):
now, the way that they're puttingthis is, this is dangerous in
a world that's getting hotter due toglobal climate change. The temperatures are going,
the seas will boil, our skieswill rain fire upon us, and
your new car smell is going torelease dangerous levels of fermaldehyde. All of

(05:33):
that take aside. I just lookat Omaha, Nebraska. The next couple
of days with this excessive heat warning, you get into your new car,
you got that new car smell.And the hotter the temperatures, the more
it's exciting the chemicals in cycles,the molecules, the the ions, I

(05:57):
don't know, the more it's hidingthe organic compounds that create that what some
people find a delightful smell. Ofcourse, some people hate it. That's
true of any smell. Do youhave favorite smells? Several like? I
know what you don't like? Ihave more than I don't like that I
do. Well, one thing youdon't like is bananas, I don't.

(06:19):
I can't eat bananas here at theradio station anymore because lousey gags. I
don't you can eat them. Thereis it that you don't like the smell
of bananas when I bring them in, or you don't like the way I
eat it well, eating it well, making eye contact. I've never seen
that. Well, if you're doingthat, you were doing it behind my

(06:40):
back. You were sick to yourstomach. I thought maybe it was the
way I was eating the banana well, not breaking eye contact with you.
I thought maybe that was I haveto pay more attention. Okay, we'll
go with the smell, all thetypical stuff, waves, beaches, sand
grass, that kind of stuff.You don't like those smells, No,
I do, and believe it ornot. I like the smell of puli
really yeah, I don't mind ituntil I'm immersed in it for a very

(07:05):
long Well, that's true, whichmight be true of a lot of smells
I like. I love the smellof coffee, but I don't drink coffee.
I don't like the taste of coffee. I like the smell of oranges,
but I don't really eat a lotof oranges. I'm an enigma shrouded
in a mystery. I hate thesmell of weed, wrapped in a conundrum.
You said you like the smell ofgrass, but now you don't like

(07:26):
the smell of weed. There's abig difference. You don't fresh cut weed.
I don't mind the smell of marijuana, but I don't like the taste
of snoop dogg. See stop lickinghim all a conundrum. He's not a
toad that was told it would bringme good luck. So when your new

(07:49):
car gets baked inside, it raisesthe levels of formaldehyde, a celta hide,
which is formaldehyde's sister, and hexsaldehyde inside the cars. I don't
know what the other d hides are, but I know that fromaldehyde is not
good unless you're being embalmed, inwhich case everyone looks and says he looks

(08:13):
great, which everyone knows is alie. But you say it anyway,
because what are you supposed to say? Oh, that doesn't look like him
at all. That's terrible. Youcan't say that, so instead you say,
wow, he looks great. Everyoneknows you don't mean it. You
say it anyway. Well, younotice you're saying that fewer and fewer times,

(08:35):
even though You're going to more andmore funerals as you get older,
because more and more people are optingfor cremation. True, no formaldehyde needed.
When I'm cremated, I will havenever looked better. Yes, somehow,
Yeah, But I don't want myurn to be the typical urn shape

(08:56):
where it kind of has a paunchin the middle, because I'm starting to
get a punch in the middle andI don't want to be sensitive about my
weight in the afterlife. So putme in a thin urn. You want
a flower vase. That's really allI want. You. You know my
wishes when I die, Cremate meand put me in the company coffee pot,

(09:18):
and then send out an email.Send out an all staff email in
the afternoon. By the way,Scott is now a part of you.
I think everyone would enjoy that,which is good. Let me know when
this segment gets gross. So inthe case of formaldehyde, the Chinese researchers
found that levels rise to double theallowable safety limits in Well, this is

(09:41):
in China, I don't know whatthe allowable safety limit for formaldehyde is in
America. It's one of dozens ofsuch VOCs volatile organic compounds within that which
makes the new car smell. Thatdistinctive odor emanates from the fabrics, thehesives

(10:03):
within the vehicle. And then thestudy says that the hotter it gets inside
your car, the more the VOCsare released, the more you're breathing it
in. People get headaches, eyeirritation, disorientation, and even it could
cause more serious issues such as potentiallung disease. You could be driving your

(10:24):
new car today after just getting inat this afternoon, afterress been parked outside
for several hours. It could beso hot in there that it's baking your
brain with the soup of chemicals,get disorienting you, and you could crash
into an oncoming train. And youknow what's even worse than that, what
secondhand new car smell. You're anidiot. I mean that with all due

(10:48):
respect. So that's just a littlebit of science today to try and keep
you alive during the heat of themoment, the last few days of July
and the heat of the moment Asia. You want to keep talking about science.
Yeah, remember the argument, thereally really stupid argument after the big

(11:15):
tornado tore through Lincoln Waverley Elkhorn,I remember it? Bennington Blair Mendon,
and there was one really dumb argumentin the wake of that that was irerupting
online. That argument has been settledto people's satisfaction. I will explain in

(11:37):
two minutes. Rob emails and says, regarding the new car smell, what
about the artificial new car smell?The bottle you can get the spray in
your car, that that reposts thenew car smell in your vehicle. Rob,
that that is new car smell.What it's not like an or jetter

(12:00):
sitting there for five months suddenly losessome of its orange smell and it's like,
oh, well, that's the onlyway you get the smell. No,
it's the orange starts off smelling likeorange. The new car starts off
smelling like whatever. They put thespray in there that, apparently everyone is

(12:22):
agreed, is that new car smellspray that they want people to get in
there and go, ah, newcar smell. We've all been conditioned to
believe this is fancy, this isa great time new car smell. But
that's the same thing they put ina used car. You go buy a
used car and it still has thatnew car smell. Well that's fine,
it's new to me. I stillfeel fancy. And it's all because it

(12:45):
comes from a bottle that you canput in your nineteen ninety three four Taurus
today if you want to, andyou could drive around in that thing and
it could smell like a new car, because that's what new car smell.
Is really sure where I was goingwith that orange thing. But Kristin emails
and says regarding cremation, cremation ismy only hope for a smoking hot body.

(13:13):
Yes, exactly, Kristin. Iam with you, sister, I'm
Kristen. And as she also pointsout, as far as all this divisiveness
goes, all men are cremated equal. Kristin is hitting us with the puns
today and the Zonker's custom was inbox Scott at kfab dot com. April

(13:37):
twenty sixth, middle of the afternoon, tornado starts ripping through the Omaha community,
cutting up from Waterloo, Elkorn,Bennington, Blair, Mending, and
there was so much to discuss onthe radio and on social media in the
wake of the storm. People whowere impacted by it were really only interested

(14:01):
in one discussion, how do wetry and rebuild? What do we do
now? But there were a lotof other people that were kind of hung
up on an argument that popped upin the wake of that storm, and
that was how big was that tornado? Because the National Weather Service came out
because people were immediately online saying,look at this, start posting pictures of

(14:24):
it. They're looking at the damage. They're like this, if it wasn't
an EF five, which is veryrare, it was definitely an EF four.
There's no way it was smaller thanan EF four. The EF stands
for the Enhanced Fujiita scale measures thewind speed, velocity, all that fun

(14:46):
stuff. Well, then the NationalWeather Service came out and said, yeah,
we took a look at all this, and we determined that the storm
that impacted Omaha was an EF three. And people collecttively soiled their pants over
this. What do you mean?What you how dare you like? Somehow

(15:09):
it wasn't as important. It wasn'tthat big a deal. Somehow, you
know, tell that the people gottheir neighborhoods torn in half. But from
a national perspective, saying we gotan EF four hit our community is a
lot more rare, therefore a lotmore important than just a little EF three,

(15:30):
Why that's barely a water spout thatwas well, the National Weather Service
has taken another look and it turnsout the data that provided us the e
F three determination was rigged. Itwas a rigged election. It was it
was illegitimate, probably from China orwhatever. So now they've they've upgraded the

(15:54):
Elkorn tornado. Now the other tornadoesthat day, Lincoln Waverley, Epley Airfield,
which we all kind of forget becausethat was thankfully, so much better
than it could have been. Thatlike the Waverley tornado, the Epley Airfield,
and the Crescent that is EF three. Mend in Iowa still in EF

(16:17):
three, but Elkhorn, Bennington Blairhas now been upgraded. We found another
five miles per hour worth of votes, which now gets us congratulations. Omaha.
We did sustain an EF four,and based on how people were yelling

(16:41):
online how mad they were that wedidn't get an EF four the first time,
I imagine everyone is thrilled with thisdesignation. As far as I'm concerned,
Lucy, I take the Hillary Clintonapproach. Difference doesn't make the neighbors
sustained a lot of damage, butI guess this sounds more important. Is
going to comment on that I wonderif it makes a difference when it comes

(17:03):
to FEMA money or government. Yeah, no, that's I think that's tied
into the damage, the dollar amountof the damage, and that you can
have as much damage from a largeEF three as you can a small EF
four. But I am just hereto throw out questions, yes, and
get people to think historically though.It now puts that Tornado and Alcorn Bennington,

(17:27):
Blair and the same category as thelast two EF fours to hit Nebraska
over the last twenty years two thousand. You know what, Holy smokes,
that just jumped out at me.What are you doing in twenty thirty four?

(17:47):
That's ten years probably retiring. Listento this EF four May twenty second,
two thousand and four. That wasHallum, the huge tornado Hallum that
was in two thousand and four.And then we had the EF four that
hit Pilger and Wakefield, that areaStanton that was June sixteenth, two thousand

(18:14):
and fourteen oh oh, and thenApril twenty sixth, twenty twenty four,
in EF four EF fours in twothousand and four, two thousand and fourteen,
twenty twenty four. I'll be longcremated by twenty thirty four, shot

(18:36):
by a jealous husband. But forthose of you who are left behind,
start battening down that battening. Getyour hatches battened down, down the hatches,
bat with the We're all It's allover in twenty thirty four, or
at least we get another EF four. Then that is the ten year cycle

(18:57):
of EF Four's here in this stretchof tornado alley. Well, I guess
in ten years from now, Iwill be spending let's see January for April,
in March, March. I hadto think about my months. I'll
be spending March packing up all ofmy stuff and storing it. Yeah,

(19:17):
in Texas, Yes, no,they get tornadoes. I know what you'll
be doing in ten years from now. What you'd be going to see Barry
Manilow again, Scott Bhees here,you know it. News Radio eleven ten
kfab If you want to watch someOlympics today three point fifteen, it's USA
versus Serbia in three on three basketball. Wait, this isn't the Dream Team
Olympics. Isn't Steph Curry and LebronNo, this is three on three basketball

(19:44):
notable because there are in different thereare two fewer players, the rules in
terms of scoring, who gets theball a little bit different. And this
is the weirdest thing about three onthree basketball. And I don't know why
they do this, but what theydo, the ball is bigger. It's
not like twice the size or anything. But if you've been shooting a basketball

(20:07):
your entire life and then someone putsthe three on three ball in your hand,
you're like, oh, this isdumb, and I don't even know
how to dribble this thing. SoDylan comes from Omaha, stand out at
Gross, He went to Midland andthen Iowa Central Community College. She got
a D two opportunity of Florida Southern, started playing professionally in Europe, and

(20:32):
then Covid hits his dad passes away. He says, all right, I
think I'm done with basketball. Andthen there was this push to get three
on three as an Olympic sport.That's when I met Dylan. We did
a Facebook video where I was playinghim in a game of pig in a
local gym. Spoiler alert, Ilost. Well, they it didn't work

(20:55):
out in twenty twenty. But herewe are twenty twenty four and Dylan's playing
in three on three Olympic basketball forTeam USA. At three fifteen to day
on NBC Go USA, Dylan Travisbecomes the second Omaha Native to play for
Team USA and basketball. Anyone wantto take a guest as to who was

(21:18):
the first? We got a streetnamed after him and West Omaha. Tiny
Archibald yep, Nate, Tiny Archibald. Nate, Tiny Archibald Way is out
there right between el Corn and Gretton. No, not Tiny Archibald was right.
We got a street named after him. Bob Gibson. Gibson was a

(21:41):
great baseball player, Ed Babe Gomez, John Creighton, John Galton, Bob
Boozer. You ever heard of thisguy? I have Boozer. I met
Bob Boozer in the golf course onetime. I said, Oh, are
you named after the street? Youknow? And I don't know why I
have to be such a smart alec, especially to people who are older than

(22:03):
I am, and they're looking atme. I was still I think in
my twenties or early thirties, sohe had to wonder, like, does
this kid really not know who Iam? He goes, uh, No,
the street was named after me.And that's when I laugh and let
on I am messing with you,and then he kicked me in the nads.
I deserved it. Boozer nineteen sixtyGames in Rome, So Go,

(22:26):
Dylan Travis and Temusa today. Talkingearlier about the new car smell, if
you got a new car, andyou got that new car smell in your
vehicle, it's going to be really, really hot today. It's gonna be
baking inside your car. And theysay that if you if you get into
your hot car, it's been sittingout there for several hours, and then
you get in there, roll thewindows up, and if you're like,

(22:48):
you know what, I'm cold.I like that my car is so hot.
I'm not even going to turn onthe air conditioning. I'm not going
to filter in anything right now.I'm specifically talking to my wife. The
new car smell volatile organic compounds thatmake up the mixture that provides that odor
for you, That effervescent odor coulddisorientate, give you headaches, and cause

(23:15):
you to drive into an oncoming train, even if you're not around the train
tracks. Well, that's what Imight have added. Speaking of accidents,
I understand how power is restored aroundone hundred and twentieth and Q what happened?
What happened there? This morning Igot a notification from Okhill's country Club
that power has been restored. Ifyou want to go in there and build

(23:36):
your own omelet, they're back upwith electricity. Now, I was not
notified what the cause was, justthat it was weird. Weird. Well,
we have a couple other car stories. We'll start with this one.
Tesla is recalling more than one pointeight million vehicles in the United States for

(24:00):
how long? They're recalling them allday? Those? Are this just gonna
charge them? Yeah? No,they like, Oh I remember the twenty
twenty one to twenty twenty four Modelthree, Model S, Model X,
and twenty twenty four to twenty twentytwenty to twenty twenty four Model Y vehicle.
Just check with Tesla see if yourparticular vehicle is subject to a recall.

(24:23):
I'm guessing that your Tesla will tellyou. Isn't that how these cars
work? Hello, Michael, myhood could come detached from the car and
crash into the windshield. Is thatthe problem? That's the problem. Well,
then we're all in danger. Yes. By the way, I will
admit that it's your eighties TV referencefor this segment of the radio program You

(24:44):
got that one night Rider? Thankyou kit. Yeah, Hello Michael with
oh cheeseburger guy. I can't thinkof his name all of a sudden,
David Hasselhoff. He'll always be Cheeseburgery. He's huge in Germany. Germans love
David Hasselhoff. Yeah. The problemhere is the risk of a crash associated
with an unlatched hood. There's arisk that's software because that's I think what

(25:11):
comprises the vehicle will not detect thefact that the hood is unlatched, which
could open. It says it couldopen and potentially obstruct the view of the
driver. Potentially, Yeah, Iimagined it probably would. I don't think
you'd be driving wondering did my hoodjust get fully detached and now is trying

(25:33):
to be a complete opposite direction thatit normally would be lying It seems like
it's in front of my windshield.I better investigate, Tesla, is my
hood obscuring my view? You knowwhat? We wait? Don't these vehicles
drive themselves? Why do you needto see where you're going? Anyway?
You're not going anywhere? You knowwhat? I think I think that these

(25:55):
are actually transformers. The Tesla istransformer, and they're starting to get the
programming up where they can begin thattransforming. Now they are more than meets
the eye exactly. You know,that's where the head would come out.
The hood would open up, headto pop out, and they'll start walking

(26:15):
and stomping on other cars. That'sfine. Are they autobots or Decepticons ATOCNS?
I've still kept my boombox in caseit turns into Uh, I can't
remember the name of the transformer itturns into, but that was a bad
guy transformer, which made it evenmore cool. Decepticons. The Decepticons are

(26:36):
even more cool. No, it'snot just cars, jets, dump trucks,
any of that stuff. Even thecassette tape that came out of the
boom box would transform into a Transformer, a very small one. Yeah,
but still and don't pull all thatstring. Yeah. Have you ever been
driving? This reminds me of Itreminds me of drive it right, I'm

(27:00):
dying. When's the last time yourtape deck ate your Belinda Carlisle cassette?
It's been a while. Need apencil, Well, you have a pencil
there because you knocked out the littletabs on top of the cassette so you
wouldn't accidentally record over them, andthen when you changed your mind, you
put a piece of tape over theScotch tape over it all, right,

(27:22):
let me double check here, let'ssee. Nope, all the younger listeners
are all gone. We had alot of them. They're like, I
don't know what these old people aretalking about. They had me when they
were talking about my Tesla. I'ma high school kid. Of course,
I drive a brand new Tesla toGretna High School, so this's where I
go. Am I gonna go toElkhorn North a brand new Tesla driving me

(27:47):
to school. But then they startedtalking about cassettes. I don't know what
those are. It reminds me though, driving these the old used vehicles I
had throughout the nineties early two thousandwhere you're driving along on the interstate and
you're looking at the hood of yourcar and it's just rattling, and you're
like, is that unlatched? When'sthe last time I opened the hood anyway?

(28:11):
Did I close it all the way? Sure? I closed it all
the way? Does it usually rattlethat much? You'd rather than pull over
and check it? You're just lookingat it, going, nah, couldn't
we that's not gonna come off.This next story is not funny. About
exactly a year ago, one yearold was left in a van and the

(28:34):
driver of the van, a pastorwho was driving kids around that day,
gets to where he's going and forgetsto check to make sure all the kids
are out of the vehicle. Oneof those kids was a one year old
named Ramaiyah. Yesterday is when ajudge decided what the punishment would be.

(28:55):
He was found guilty of child abuseby neglect resulting in death and faced a
lot of jail time, but thepastor, Ryan Williams, yesterday was instead
sentenced to forty eight months probation.The parents of Ramiah Worthington are exactly as

(29:15):
you'd expect them to be. They'refurious. They were going to fight to
keep her memory alive, and wehave more work to do. I don't
know if that means a civil lawsuitwhere there'd be a financial penalty that I
imagine they would win. I knowthe defense attorney said. This is an

(29:38):
actual quote from the sentencing hearing yesterday. Quote the character and attitude of Pastor
Williams indicates that he is absolutely unlikelyto commit another crime. Unquote. I
don't doubt that's the case. Thatis not the standard by whether we measure
how someone is punished for the crimethat they committed, even if it it's

(30:00):
through absolute unacceptable neglect. This wholestory is just absolutely, so sad,
so awful. I don't know howit doesn't end with jail time, though.
How do you send a message tohim and others that the very least
you need to do if you aresomeone who is tasked with driving around children,

(30:23):
We're not asking you to disassemble thevehicle and put it back together.
We're asking that you just turn aroundand look, or if you got a
van, walk up and down therows. Anyone left in here. Let
me know if this is asking toomuch of these drivers. This is I
don't understand. I mean, I'mnot saying that the guy needs to go

(30:47):
away for the rest of his life. I don't know what that looks like.
But and I agree the defense attorneysays, there's no punishment this court
can impose that's more than a punishmentthan what the pastor has already done to
punish himself. Absolutely, my gosh, I can't imagine I can't imagine he
wrote a letter and read it tothe parents yesterday in court. This must

(31:10):
have been gut wrenching. And thenthe judge says, all right, forty
eight months probation, try not todo this again. I doubt that the
judge was that flippant about it.I'm sure that it was a gut wrenching
decision for him as well. Idon't have kids, so I don't have
an opinion. I can't have one. I have one, but I can't
have one. It's not even oneof these things where all right, we're

(31:33):
not gonna have you get you doany jail time, but it's gonna be
one of these creative mental anguish punishments, like an every day on both her
birthday and the date of her passing, you're going to something. It's not
even one of those things. That'sthe latest here and a very sad story
for the Omaha Metro wanted you tobe aware. All right. Up next,

(31:55):
we'll go up to a we'll godown to depending on where you live,
We're going to go to Cass County, where the neighbors say, we
don't know what is being brought ontoour neighbor's property, but we know what
it smells like. Somebody's got todo something here. Now, is this

(32:15):
the case of city folk going outto the country and not liking the smell
of money? We'll decide next.Scot Coyes News Radio eleven ten k FA
soundwave is the transformer who was theboombox? Thank you? I got Dan
saying it was blaster, no soundwave. Fantastic. There was a fantastic equally

(32:42):
fantastic story on the WOWT website today, and of course it was on the
news last night, latest from IntrepidChannel six reporter Mike McKnight. But I
do appreciate a good headline. Here'sthe headline, Cass County compost conflict causes
quandary. Now that's well done.I don't know if that was Mike,

(33:02):
but that was really good. Hasto do with this guy named Andy.
He's got farm land out there infarm country, rural cast County, and
the neighbors are like, it smellsbad. Now, I oftentimes immediately dismiss
this as Oh, the city folkwant to live out in the country,
but they don't like the smell ofmoney out there and agg country. This

(33:25):
might be different though. They saythat huge piles of they don't know what
have been trucked onto his property sinceJune. And it's not just the smell,
it's the health concerns from the flies. And they don't know what's piled

(33:45):
there, and they asked him andhe won't tell them, so of course
now they're left to guess. Imaginationrunning wild, not have to run too
wild because they can smell it.And this guy has an attorney. He's
talked to Mike mcnight and says,well, the piles don't consist of filth
or manure, the material won't besold, and it's not a commercial dump

(34:09):
site, so it's his property.He can do whatever he wants on there.
Well. Cass County Zoning says,it's really close to Callahan Creeks.
We have concerns about that. TheDepartment of Environment is working to address the
neighbor's concerns about air quality. They'vetested it, the results are pending.
So this is what's going on withthis. Just a lesson to you.

(34:32):
I mean, you can live herein the city and have a problem with
your neighbors stinking to high Heaven.This is a little interesting out in Cass
County though, And he won't tellanybody. Yeah, what's he got in
there? What's he building in there? Did anybody make a guess? It
smells like rotting whales. I thinkhe's he got rotting whales out there,

(34:57):
blue or humpback sperm, narwalls,he's got them. You know, they
got to go somewhere. People don'trealize, like, oh, we had
a whale beach itself. Where doesit go? It goes to Andy's farm
in Cass County, Nebraska. Apparentlyat least that's what smells like, Like,
why are you trucking in huge pilesof what? And he's like,

(35:20):
well, I'm putting mulch on itto try and take the smell down.
And plus he lives there, andhe says, I don't think it smells
bad. No, of course youdon't. If it's your smell, you
never think it smells bad. Ibelieve that's called nose blind. Why the
person with the worst colognes, Like, I don't know what you're talking about.
We took the the news coverage ofthe speech by President Biden yesterday where

(35:45):
he said that extremism by the SupremeCourt is forcing his hand. He has
to do something to rein in thejudicial branch. Again, this is a
schoolhouse Rocke. Three branches of government, the separate but equal powers, checks
and balances, all of that.Right now, we've got the executive branch,

(36:08):
President Biden talking about doing an endaround the legislative branch Congress to try
and rein in the power he says, which is unfair and unconstitutional. From
amazingly and this is how funny thisis. If someone were to file a
court challenge to say President Biden can'tdo this to the Supreme Court, then

(36:34):
this court case would go potentially tothe Supreme Court. It would have to
decide whether or not the Supreme Courtis acting in a constitutional manner by ruling
on cases before it. That's itclear as mud. Right, the executive
branch is telling the judicial branch,you have too much power and I need

(36:57):
to limit it. Now, Iwould say that there are ways to do
that, but that's where you gothrough the legislative branch. If it's just
the executive branch saying it, that'sunconstitutional. That's why we have We don't
have kings, we don't have dictators. In fact, that's what President Biden

(37:21):
said fourteen times or so yesterday.We don't have kings in this country.
We don't have monarchs, we don'thave dictators. That's why I and I
alone am out there talking about thisthreat to democracy coming from Donald Trump.
I'm going to limit the powers ofthe Supreme Court of the United States.

(37:44):
And no one apparently sees the ironyin any of this. Isn't this basically
what Maduro did in Venezuela or veryclose to. Yes, this is commonplace
in these third world gangster dictatorships.Yeah, one guy wakes up and says,

(38:04):
yeah, you know what, elections, I don't like them. We're
not gonna do him anymore, misterdictator. Sir, there is a group
of judges over here that say thatthat which Congress has voted on and has
spelled out in constitutional authority is arunning contrary to what you say it is.

(38:28):
Oh, how do we stop them? Well, you just stop them,
all right, They're done. Wehave limited powers given to the commander
in chief, the president of theUnited States, that do spell out some

(38:49):
level of immunity. This is notcentral to Trump or Biden. This has
been the case essentially since our founding. Basically says that you can't tie up
the president of the United States incourt when the president is doing his or
her duties as president. In otherwords, let's say you've got to wage

(39:20):
a war, you've got to defendour nation. And someone says, oh,
they're putting troops over in this areaof my community, and all of
the tanks and helicopters coming in todefend our country are very noisy, and
it runs contrary to my homeowners' associationcovenants. I'm going to sue the President

(39:43):
of the United States. Well,the president is undergoing responsibilities related to his
duties, so you can't start tyingup the president in court. And this
has been the way it's been.So they went to the Supreme Court without
a real clear case tied to it, and they said does the president have

(40:07):
immunity? And the Supreme Court,without talking about any specific thing related to
Trump or anybody, just said,you're asking us if the president has immunity.
You know darn well the president hasimmunity. Yes, the president has
limited immunity when carrying out official responsibilities. That doesn't mean you can go out

(40:27):
and say, I can't believe thatthis person won Dancing with the Stars.
I think it's time to murder thisperson and they go out and kill Lori
Laughlin or whatever. You can't dothat. That's not within your official responsibility
as the president of the United States. So all this stuff about the dissenting

(40:52):
opinion in this court case written byJustice Sotomayor that President Biden read yesterday like
it's rooted in any kind of reality. Where so Sonya Sonomayer was like,
well, this just means the presidentgo out and kill anybody he disagrees with
and kill his political opponents, andhe's got immunity and you can't touch him.
No, you, with all duerespect, you enormous dufis pardon my

(41:16):
language. No, and you allknow this. But here we are trying
to score political points by suggesting thatthe Supreme Court just gave Trump immunity to
do whatever he wants. When theydidn't do that, it would be like
someone went to the Supreme Court andsaid, uh, yes, question for

(41:37):
the justices, here is today Tuesday. They all look at each other,
and probably some of them are kindof like, I am, I don't
know what day it is. Igotta look sometimes, yeap my phone and
the calendar over here suggests that todayis yes, Well, yeah, we've
confirmed the day's Tuesday. Thanks forasking. Okay, that's what that ruling

(41:58):
was, as the pres have limitedimmunity for carrying out the responsibilities of the
presidency. Yes, oh, Iguess we've got kings and dictators in this
country. So President Biden said,we need to establish term limits for the
Supreme Court. By the way,the President was asked about this as recently

(42:22):
as the last couple of years,do you agree that we should have term
limits for Supreme Court justices? Andhe said no, all right, he's
changed his mind. He's he canchange his mind. And we need to
have an enforceable ethics code for theSupreme Court. Oh yes, we got

(42:46):
to tell everyone that Clarence Thomas andJustice sam Alito are horrible people and therefore
they need to be removed from thecourt. All right. There's a process
to remark a justice from the courtif you feel there's been some sort of
wrongdoing. There's a process there,work the process. This idea that now

(43:10):
you can just as one guy say, eh, this extreme Supreme Court has
taken rights away from women, andthey made Trump a king. And I'm
gonna stand up for democracy by ignoringthe legislative branch. And saying we need
to just do something about the judicialbranch. Now, I imagine that some

(43:30):
part of this involves someone in Congressdoing something which then leads to this next
issue. They asked the Speaker ofthe House, Mike Johnson, the president
is looking to rein in the powerof this extreme Supreme Court. Speaker Johnson
said that any of these proposals forreforming the Supreme Court would be dead on
arrival. So then President Biden wasgoing into this get together in Texas yesterday

(43:55):
and the media did get a chanceto shout a couple of questions at him.
They said, mister President, theSpeaker says that your proposals are dead
on arrival. And Biden said,so's your face? One of our favorite

(44:15):
retorts on this radio show. Thisis what children do, like, hey,
you smell bad. You smell bad, so's your face? The Honest
to God asked the president. Thespeaker says that your proposals are dead on
arrival. And this president, rightafter he said, we got to tamp

(44:36):
down the violent political rhetoric in thiscountry. We got to watch what we
say. Words have meaning, Theysaid, the speaker says, your proposals
are dead on arrival, and Bidensaid that's what he is, and the
reporter said, excuse me. Bidensaid, he is dead on arrival.

(45:01):
Well, this we need to stopthe violent rhetoric and all that that lasted
for all of about two and ahalf weeks. The President just said,
and look, this is the game. I don't I no more believe President
Biden wants to kill how Speaker MikeJohnson. I think Marjorie Taylor Green might

(45:27):
want to kill HOWSE Speaker Mike Johnson, but that's I don't believe the President
wants to murder the Speaker of theHouse. But to play the game that
they and the media all play wheneveranyone says anything, oh you said,
you you know, there's there's nowiggle room anywhere if we want to try
and score political points. Yet,let's listen to see if the media is

(45:52):
treating the president the same way theywould treat Trump if he said that Nancy
Pelosi was dead on her own?Is the president holding the or is the
media holding the president to this standardBy suggesting that if the Congress, and
specifically the Speaker of the House,doesn't go along with his ideas to limit

(46:14):
the power of the Supreme Court thatthey are dead. Nope, not being
held to the same standard. Sothere's where we are today. This is
just another day in our representative Republic. Scott had some rather earth chattering political

(46:35):
news here in Omaha yesterday after theprimary election for the Northeast Omaha Legislative District
in May. It was an incrediblytight race between the incumbent to Real McKinney,
and the guy who had previously heldthe seat for just the better part

(46:57):
of the last fifty years, ErnieChambers. They ran against each other and
a couple of others in that primaryrace, and the result was McKinney beat
Chambers by four not four points fourvotes, So the two of them,
the top two vote getters, advancedto the November general election until yesterday.

(47:23):
What happened yesterday, Ernie Chambers fileda declination of nomination form yesterday afternoon at
the Douglas County Election Commission. Huh, meaning he is declining his nomination for
the District eleven race, meaning heisn't running anymore. Is the third guy?

(47:47):
No, it doesn't work like that. It's not like if you,
as miss USA cannot perform your duties. It goes to the first runner up.
What it does mean is that TerrellMcKinney obviously continues and will be unopposed
on the ballot unless someone files apetition. They don't need a lot of
signatures. Five hundred and ninety ninesignatures by September third not impossible to get.

(48:12):
But I think it'd be pretty impossiblefor someone to come out of the
petition process and then mount a seriousopposition to the incumbent Terrell McKinney. So,
I mean, it certainly looks likewe've got a green light for McKinney
to be re elected in LD eleven. But what we don't know is why

(48:35):
Ernie Chambers, who spent the betterpart of the last five million years representing
northeast Omaha, got term limited out, came back, got term limited out,
wants to come back. Why hedropped out of the race, he
didn't say. According to the storyhere from k ETV News Watch seven,
the commissioner Brian Cruz said that ErnieChambers says, yeah, this, I'm

(48:57):
done. This ends my time inpolitics. Ernie Chambers is not young.
I forget how old he is.And I've said a lot about Ernie Chambers
on this radio show over the eighteenyears next week since I've been a part
of this radio station. I'll saytwo different things. If Ernie Chambers,

(49:23):
you know what, I'll say threedifferent things. Number One, if Ernie
Chambers is truly done with this politicalcareer, whether that's the legislature, he
spends some time in the learning community. If Ernie Chambers is truly done with
his political career, good. You'rean absolute disaster who ignores the real problems

(49:47):
in your community while going out thereand singing songs and calling people a racist
as people in your community are strugglingit comes to crime, when it comes
to poverty, when it comes toa lack of hope, when it comes
to serious distrust and law enforcement,the same people that you say that you'd

(50:09):
rather shoot first and ask questions later. If your political career is done good.
I will also say this, ifany Chambers political career is done because
he has some health issues or something, I wish him nothing but the best
in living out his years as ashe wants. As long as he's staying

(50:36):
away from a vote. The guyhas ticked me off politically. He's also
given me a vast amount of entertainment. Over the years, I have laughed
at many of the things he hasdone that he's done to be funny and
just to tweak people and get peopleall ticked off. I have I have
shaken, shake my head and burymy head in my hands sometimes at the

(50:59):
things he does and says, andjust go my gosh. I mean,
when I first started here, wehad a character on the show called Bernie
Chambers, who was supposed to soundlike and act as a crazier version of
Ernie Chambers. If you could believethat something like that could exist where it
was always like he wanted to blacktopthe whole town, just to make everything

(51:20):
black. He felt it was racistthat Wendy's was offering a vanilla Frosty.
And one of my favorites was everytime we talked to Bernie Chambers, we
said where are you? Bernie?He was always at the corner of black
and proud love that and yet andwe asked him one time, why is
it you're always at that corner?He says, because I'm not going to

(51:43):
cross the street until the crosswalk signal. That little guy you see showing like
and you can walk now the walksignal you got the red hand for don't
walk, and you got the guywalking for walk. He didn't like that
that guy on the signal was white, and he was going to stay there
until it was black. And Isaid, but Bernie, the background of

(52:05):
the sign is black. If itwas a black figure, you wouldn't be
able to see it. And hisresponse was exactly. I loved those Bernie
Chambers segments so much, and wedid them until Ernie Chambers went and sued
God, and then I started towrite a new Bernie Chambers bit about it.

(52:30):
I couldn't come up with anything moreoutrageous than what he, the real
person, had just done, sothat killed that character. There was no
more Bernie Chambers so on the radioafter that, which is too bad.
Those were great, a lot betterthan any of this garbage we do these
days. Did I say that outloud? Anyway? The guy has provided

(52:52):
me so much entertainment over the years. So if his political career is over
because he has a health setback orsomething, I do sincerely wish him the
best in his personal life. SoI said, I'd say three things in
response to this. Number One,political career over, thank goodness. Number

(53:13):
Two, if it's health related,or whatever. I do wish him the
best, even if it's not healthrelated, if he's just decided that he's
got to get out of the wayand let Kamala Harris lead, you know
whatever, I do wish him thebest. And now number three, I
don't believe he's done. Just somethinggnawing at me, going, eh,

(53:39):
it's just too easy. There's there'sgot to be like some sort of resurgence,
re energizing of the campaign, likesuddenly he's gonna come back and then
that'll make a big splash in thenews and that'll carry him momentum wise to
the November election. I just it'sit's too easy, it's too clean.

(54:00):
We've seen these movies like, oh, the bad guy has been beaten.
That was easy. It's Miller timemaybe, and it's not and it's not
over yet. By the way,your eighties movie reference there, Lucy,
it's a movie you guess all thetime, uh Jaws, no Ghostbusters.
But anyway, going, Maybe he'sbeen offered a job in the new administration,
the Pillin administration, no, theHarris administration administration. Perhaps this is

(54:28):
oh, oh, he could beher running mate. Maybe Harris Chambers,
did you just fall out of acoconut tree. This is about the time
that they start picking their cabinets HM, at least at least dangling them.
I don't doubt it. Why whynot? Just when I thought things couldn't

(54:52):
get any more crazy? Scott VoiceNews Radio eleven ten kfab Is it definite
that you're taking tomorrow off so youcan recover from going out and getting in
the mosh pit at the Barry Maniloconcert tonight? Is there going to be
a mash pit? Probably if hegets into read him and weep. I'd
be right there just banging into people. I have not heard that song is

(55:17):
so long. It's a great song. It is a Jim Steinman song.
Jim Steinmand wrote all the Meatloaf songs, total eclips of the heart, making
love out of nothing at all andread them and weep. Top forty hit
for Barry Manilow in nineteen eighty.I want to say three. He won't
do it right? I don't know. Okay, Well, fine? Regarding

(55:40):
Coco Goff, why couldn't she becausewe got the Olympic report a moment ago
that said that she lost at theOlympics and started crying and arguing with the
umpire over a call that she feltwas wrong and was reduced to tears,
lost her composure, lost the match. I don't know why she couldn't have

(56:05):
just started busting rackets and yelling andscreaming and cussing like John McEnroe, you
know, like a normal person wouldbehave. This does remind me about,
you know, the difference between menand women, which came to bear Trump
day coming up in a second,which came to bear with a European TV

(56:25):
company called euro Sport, where thecommentator got named Bob has been removed from
the Olympic broadcast for making sexist remarksabout the Australian women's swim team. So
he's on TV with co commentator formerBritish Olympian Lizzie Simmons and Bob Ballard after

(56:50):
they won the gold medal in thefour x one hundred meter freestyle relay.
They were talking about I think wherethey were, what they were doing before
going up to the podium to gettheir gold medals, and Bob said,
quote, well, the women justfinishing off. You know what women are
like hanging around doing their makeup.His commentator cohort Lizzie said that's an outrageous

(57:19):
remark and he started laughing. Welllater he apologized made an inappropriate statement,
and the company says he's been removedfrom our commentary roster with immediate effect.
He's been doing sportscasting, including theOlympics, since, says the mid eighties.
That probably means nineteen eighty four.He says, it was never my

(57:42):
intention to upset or belittle anyone,and if I did, I apologize.
I'm a massive advocate of women's sport. He also encouraged people not to get
upset at as coworker Lizzie Simmons,saying she has nothing to do with this.
There's men on the team, aren'tthere. I mean one could only

(58:02):
assume these days. Yeah, andwere they, and they were just as
much makeup. That's the dumbest thingI've ever heard, Lucy. I'm not
going to stand for your sexist commentson this issue. Why well, I
guess what they got to be.If you're if you're condemning that which happened
to get this misogynistic pig off ofthe airwaves, you know how many women

(58:24):
could be you know, kids hearthis, and if he says, you
know how women are hanging around doingtheir makeup. Then it could be that
women might think that that's how theyneed to behave. Well, you know
what that is how we behave?Is that all he said that got him
canceled because we are hanging around doingour makeup, that's all he said we
do. Yeah, maybe not togo jump in the pool again. I

(58:47):
don't I don't know why there's suchsexist comments coming from you about women spending
too much time in the bathroom doingtheir makeup or hair, or suggesting that
it's cold in here when it's notcold in here, or anything else that
some pig might say that would gethim fired. Are you ready for a

(59:10):
Trump date? Yes. When wehave a few different stories related to the
former and potential future president of theUnited States, we put them all together
under the heading of a Trump date, Trump up the jam, trump it
up, Trump up the jamp trumpettrumpet trumpet trumpet Trump. Judith emails and

(59:32):
says, when I heard Biden sayhe's dead on arrival and talking about the
Speaker of the House. In caseyou missed that story earlier, the president
was going to go out and tryand limit the powers of the Supreme Court.
I guess by himself, which isin and of itself unconstitutional, and
it would be totally awesome and ironicif the Supreme Court ruled on the constitutionality

(59:57):
of that. But speak the Housesaid his proposals are dead on arrival in
the House. And they said,mister President, the Speaker says that your
proposals are dead on arrival. AndBiden said he is, and they said,
what he says, he is,he's dead on arrival, right after
a couple of weeks ago, sayingwe got to stop the violent rhetoric unless

(01:00:20):
I can make an obscure or ratheroblique reference to murdering the Speaker of the
House if he doesn't like my politics. So Judith says, when I heard
Biden say he's dead on arrival,I thought, you know, if Trump
said that, he'd be in jailtoday for a veiled threat to a US
congressman. Yes, Judith, thatis absolutely accurate. Now, Caid emails

(01:00:45):
the Zonker's custom was inbox. Scottat kfab dot com says, hey,
Scott, hey kid, how doyou feel about Trump being interviewed by the
FBI this late? Personally, Ithink they should have interviewed him earlier.
Well, the a team of investigatorstalked with him in the hospital after they'd
take him there and bandaged up hisear. I thought that included the FBI,

(01:01:10):
or if the FBI wasn't there totalk to him, if it was
the local law enforcement, if itwas the Secret Service, probably both,
then they would take those notes andthen turn those over to the FBI,
because the FBI was immediately doing theinvestigation. What has happened now is the
FBI asked Trump, as part ofour investigation into the attempt of your assassination,

(01:01:36):
do you want to be subject toa crime victim interview, same as
any other crime victim, regardless ofthe circumstances, And of course Trump said
yeah. The FBI head of thelocal field office there in Pittsburgh said,
we want to get his perspective onwhat he observed, like any other witness.

(01:02:00):
I observed huge crowd, probably thebiggest crowd it's ever been in Butler
County, Pennsylvania. Millions and millionsof people there, red hats, beautiful,
and then I saw God come anddivert the bullet away from my ear.

(01:02:24):
They're like, so glad we askedyou to stop by. So they're
going to talk to him and figureout what he saw. Trump has agreed
to be questioned about the shooting.As far as the shooter, we haven't
gotten a lot more information. Thelatest we have here is he had been
stockpiling bomb making materials and equipment relatedto guns for more than a year.

(01:02:51):
My son is fourteen years old,incoming freshmen in high school. Heaven help
us. So my wife wanted toknow where are all of our cups and
bowls and plates. She knows wherethey are. They go up to my
son's room and tea disappear. Myson is not into magic. It's some

(01:03:17):
sort of Bermuda triangle where various utensilsand plates and bowls and cups go to
his room to never be heard fromagain. So my wife did made a
horrible error in judgment. The otherday. She pulled his bed away from
the wall and discovered plates, bowls, glasses, lots of food. Our

(01:03:43):
aunt Debbie, who we haven't seenin several years. She was in there,
like where have you been? She'slike, I've been calling for help.
He must have had his ear hisAirPods ends. He didn't hear you,
and they're just all kinds of stuff. There was a trapdoor. I
think down there that found some veryinteresting details related to mister Miyagi. I
mean, there's so much down there. When the bed was pulled away,

(01:04:06):
there's your Cobra Kai reference for thissegment of the radio program. Yeah,
I love that show. And uhand then she's like, that's it.
Full scale cleaning of your room,mister. This is what parents do.
When you've got a kid in yourhouse, you kind of want to know
what's going on in there. Howdoes a twenty year old who lives with

(01:04:30):
his parents start stockpiling bomb making materials, equipment related to guns and firearms.
For more than a year, Sincethe spring of twenty twenty three, he
made twenty five purchases related to firearmsand six purchases of materials used to make
explosives. He stored the chemicals andgun related equipment in his parents' home,

(01:04:55):
and yet didn't I read that theydidn't even have dishes or ever we're in
that house. I have not heardthat is that? That's that's one of
the accounts that I read. Iremember when that first happened, there was
a video on Twitter of a guytrying to find this house. I don't
know how he got the name soquickly, but there was already somebody at

(01:05:19):
the end of the road there thatwould the road was closed. Well yeah,
I mean they as soon as theyknew who he was, they went
to his home. Yeah, closedthe road. Yeah, that's I don't
know about not eating with utensils,well, you were just eating with just
bullet casings. Well, I don'tknow. I just think that when stuff

(01:05:41):
like this happens, you have tobe you have to be right on in
today's world social media, because you'regoing to see things there that may disappear
and you'll never see him again.I don't know, so we still haven't
learned. They said that they describehim as a highly intelligent loaner. Again,

(01:06:04):
think of all the people in yourlife who might want to go and
try and assassinate somebody. If youcan think of someone who would do that,
do they live in your house?How watchful are you? And then

(01:06:24):
there's Iran. Iran is said tobe using covert influence campaigns in an attempt
to undermine the presidential ambitions of DonaldTrump, as they believe that Trump winning
would be bad for Iran. Can'timagine that's going to be a Kamala Harris
for President slogan anytime soon. Sowhat are they doing. Well, they're

(01:06:45):
using covert social media activity and relatedinfluencer operations in an attempt to influence the
election and tell people that, hey, we think Trump is bad. I
got news for Iran. All themedia networks and that which you'll find online
are right there saying yeah, wethink Trump's bad too. In fact,

(01:07:06):
it's very interesting since Biden dropped outof the race. You know, if
you're on Facebook, Facebook has analgorithm that says, like, oh you
you follow these people? The peopleyou follow or liking or commenting on this
post, it bumps the post up. Yet somehow, all the posts I
see popping up in my newsfeed aretalking about how bad Trump is and how

(01:07:27):
great Kamala is, even if theydon't have that many likes, Even if
their likes and comments aren't from peoplethat are I'm already friends are connected with
on Facebook, it just seems tobump those things up the feed a bit
more. Is that Iran or isthat Facebook? And that is our Trump
date? Scott Boyes News Radio eleventen KFABS
