The Gary Sadlemyer Post-Game Show

With all the love and accolades that Gary is getting now as he heads into retirement, my job today is simple:  To convince you that the man is a total fraud.

Speaker 15 (02:01):
News, weather, traffic and relevant talk radio you want?

Speaker 16 (02:04):
We're your station. We are News Radio eleven ten kfaby.
Here's Scott Vorgeaves.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Everything it up time a yeah baby, everything it's upsuck.

Speaker 6 (02:25):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
For my endorsements, my live is for Friday. Oh good,
I'm dropping them all over the floor.

Speaker 7 (02:33):
I mean, come on, good morning. Thank you so much
for being here with us. This is Nebraska's news, weather
and traffic station, News Radio eleven ten KFAB. I am
Scott Vorhees. There is Lucy Chapman. Let's address the first

(02:54):
thing right now. Gary Saddlemeyer is an absolute fraud. And
you heard it a few minutes ago when he made
that comment, when we had the entire staff in here
and we're doing Facebook live video. We're dedicating the Gary
Saddlemeyers studio the KFABE studio is now because we've got

(03:15):
a slightly off sign above our studio now, which is
perfect because we're all a little bit slightly off. This
is now the Gary Saddlemeyer Studio within the Amish Furniture
of Nebraska Studios that encompasses the newsroom, the total traffic center.
But it's kind of like tom Osborn Field at Memorial Stadium.

(03:37):
It's the Gary Saddlemeyer Studio here within the Amish Furniture
Nebraska Studio is powered by Amage Furniture in Nebraska on
news radio eleven to ten KFAV and it's official because
we have a sign, so we're doing all that, and
then Gary makes that incredibly tasteless comment about the Michigan

(03:57):
coach and I don't even feel comfort repeating it on
the air. And that's why I'm saying for all the
people who have been hitting me over the last several weeks,
stuff like why in the world would Scott go in
there and be a part of the morning show in
Gary's place? Scott is sophomoric. Scott is tasteless. Scott, it

(04:21):
makes inappropriate comments, and Gary would never do anything like that. Gary. Let's,
for example, the Finally Friday song. I don't know what's
going to happen long term with the Finally Friday song.
That was the little kfab version I put together the
other day. I quite enjoy it. It's not going to

(04:44):
be on every single Friday during the morning program, but
it does do one thing. It gets rid of that horrible,
horrible version that Gary always plays and people are like,
what are you talking about? It's great, I was. My
wife was yelling at me the other day. She said, well,
you gotta play the Finally Friday song. I said, have

(05:05):
you ever listened to the bits within the Finally Friday song?
Stuff like, uh, it's wet, but it stretches, it's huge,
stop that you'll go blind. These are the sound bites
in the song. They're just references to uh, whittling one

(05:25):
whittling away at oneself and we're naked? Is that okay?
And you know that's all fine and good? But I
don't tell me Reverend Hey, Gary is the best? Is
he is? Saint Gary? That song is filthy?

Speaker 8 (05:39):
I know, damn I never noticed that.

Speaker 7 (05:42):
I know no one ever does. You know? You play
the same thing and it's like this is fun, there's
fun sound effects and all that. It's filthy. And then
Gary made that comment there with Jim Rose and it's
just par for the course with this guy. So point
number one this morning, Gary Sadlemeyer is a fraud.

Speaker 8 (05:58):
I it sounds like it.

Speaker 9 (06:00):
It is.

Speaker 7 (06:00):
I have more examples. I'll get these out of the
way now. These are little things I have squirreled away
during my nineteen or so years here on this radio station.
This was on the air during the conversation years ago.

Speaker 5 (06:18):
Not your business, mister government, Not your business, mister Schumer. Now,
if you want to make it illegal, have the almost
said the law. I almost said balls, have the guts, jeez,
have the guts to make it illegal.

Speaker 7 (06:31):
Thank you, Gary for almost censoring yourself on that one.
Here's another one. I don't remember who he was talking about,
but I know what the punchline is. Once again, here's
Gary Sadelemaire.

Speaker 5 (06:43):
I see there's a website now where you can explore
ways to move to Canada. Is that the one?

Speaker 9 (06:49):
Yep?

Speaker 5 (06:49):
All right? Yeah, nobody's moving away. Nobody's moving on. It's
like when Baldwin said he had a he had a fit,
he had a fit, Well he is he had a
fifth and if so and so whims I'm moving and
nobody's moving.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Ninety years and we finally got a numbnuts on there
from Gary.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
Rosie. We're I think we're circling the drain. I mean,
I gotta say it's entertaining, but man, you look at
what's happened to this country in our politics and stuff
right now.

Speaker 6 (07:23):
Unbelievable.

Speaker 7 (07:24):
We are circling the drain.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
You got it right. Might just have a stroke right here,
right on the radio, just have just pass out.

Speaker 7 (07:32):
Yeah. That reminds me of shortly after I started here
at this radio station, when I'm sitting in here and
and Gary is here in the Gary Saddlemer chair and
he's interviewing someone about a very serious subject. I don't
remember what it was, but it was incredibly serious. I
don't know, someone with law enforcement or something, and it

(07:56):
was deathly serious. I'm sitting over there, and then suddenly Gary,
in the midst of this conversation, the guest is talking
on the phone, and Gary looks at me with a
big smile on his face and is pointing up at
the TV all excited. I look up and it's one
of those time Life commercials for one of those videos

(08:16):
like World War Two, and it's just playing is flying
low over the Atlantic, throwing depth charges at German U
boats or something like that. The depth charges are falling
and blowing up and people are blowing to bits and
Gary is like, hey, check this out. He's all excited.
I'm like, shouldn't you be paying attention to what you're
doing on there? Gary is the most sophomoric person in

(08:36):
the history of this radio station. Here's another example.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
Have you found yourself in pp ohio?

Speaker 7 (08:43):
These are to some things I've just picked up? While
Gary goes back into a production studio after the show
and he records things, whether it's commercials or promos for
the next day show or whatever. Which is that I
played there at the start of the program.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
Okay for my endorsements, my live is for Friday. Oh good,
I'm dropping them all over the floor.

Speaker 7 (09:11):
I mean, come on, man, I have endless archives. And
Gary Sadlemeyer has made his way back into the studio.

Speaker 5 (09:23):
Very sorry to hear that, did Gary?

Speaker 7 (09:24):
Did you have a chance to say everything that you
wanted to say during your show? I've got a couple
of questions, I guess.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
So, I mean I got to say Scott and Rosie,
I'm overwhelmed. Yeah, I really don't know what the words
would be to convey how grateful I am, how humbled
I am, how happy I am, how blessed I've been
to be able to do all this and with these

(09:50):
great people. The listener has always been the key to me,
you know, and to hear from all of these people
from all over the state since I announced my retirement,
I had no idea.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, well, it's one of the reasons you're so popular.
Never occurred to you that you were a big deal.

Speaker 7 (10:07):
I understand when you say the listener has been the key,
But I think there's there's another current that runs through
you which allows you to do what you do so
well for so long, and that is there is so
much when you consume news all the time. Not all
the news is real happy. We have to deal with
some really horrible things, and you you deal with it

(10:28):
in the moment, and then you find a way.

Speaker 5 (10:30):
To transition out of it.

Speaker 7 (10:32):
Yeah, to not let it bog you down. You don't.
You don't wear it like a millstone. And that has
been of all the things that I have and will
continue to try and emulate about you poorly. That's that's
one big one. You can't get consumed by all of
this stuff. So if some of as I start off
here with some of yours more sophomore things over the year.

(10:55):
There's a reason for that. Cops and firefighters are kind
of the same way. They got kind of a dark
sense of you here. They have to otherwise they can't
do what they do, and I think that you've been
an incredible model of that for me and others here
at the stage.

Speaker 5 (11:07):
Thanks. Yeah, Well, I mean I mentioned the other day.
I think Jim, when we were on its talking about how,
you know, the stuff we deal with every day, it
would be really easy to think that that's what everybody's like,
and it's not. No, that's a small minority of people
are the maniacs and the lunatics and the extremists, but
they make the news, you know, and they have the

(11:28):
loudest voices, and we have to deal with it in
this format.

Speaker 7 (11:32):
I know. The gym is always big on the Mount
Rushmore of things, and I think about all the legendary
people who I know, and I've heard some in my lifetime,
and that's excluding the first fifty years or so of
this radio station. But I think about some great great names,
and if I'm putting a Mount Rushmore together, you're on

(11:54):
it and the other three of the the greatest personalities
in the history of this radio station. And that and
we've had great peate mind. Johnny Carson's a part of
the station's history, but doesn't go on the Mount Rushmore
because you don't tie him in necessarily.

Speaker 6 (12:09):
With k.

Speaker 5 (12:11):
Very first radio job, and that was in Lincoln at
the time.

Speaker 12 (12:15):
Right.

Speaker 5 (12:17):
Same station.

Speaker 7 (12:18):
So I think about Lyle Bremser, Walt Cavanaugh, perhaps Jack
Payne on there these if that not on the Mount Rushmore.
These are three long time legendary devoted their lives to
this radio station, and you're up there with those guys.
They all retired their careers with the station. Came to
a conclusion during your time here. How did you feel
when all of that was going on, and how does

(12:40):
it compare with how you thought you would feel when
you got to this day.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
Well, it's interesting all of them except Jack died shortly
after they retired, and.

Speaker 7 (12:54):
It's not too late to change your mind.

Speaker 5 (12:55):
Yeah, well, not unrelated to their me They had health
sudden health issues that but like Bart Bryant, you know,
the great Alabama coach, he I think basically died of
a broken heart because he didn't have. He couldn't do it,
the only thing he'd ever loved. But I I just
wished him well. The thing that I regretted is that

(13:18):
I always thought I would have those guys to go
to for counsel, you know, and I could always go
have launch your coffee with Ken Yeah or Walt Lyle Bremser.
And then they they they didn't last. They didn't make
it very long. The same with my dad. He died
pretty quickly after he retired. But Jack and I would

(13:39):
talk a lot, and I, you know, to be honest
with you, I never really thought about what it would
be like when I retired. I just didn't.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
I just came to work, you know, and it was
never It was never worked for you. That was the
reason you kept coming. It was always a fun thing
to do. Yeah, you think dealing with you was never
work for this guy.

Speaker 5 (13:58):
It was work to the job. But it was joyous
work for me. I mean, I just love it. It
wasn't work.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
And that's you know, if you find somebody you love,
you'll never something you love, You'll never work a day
in your life. And I think that's you, man, and
it's an inspiration for the rest of us and The
thing about it is this industry is hard. It's it's
hard to get in it, it's hard to stay in it,
and it's really hard to build an audience, and it's
hard to stay where you are because the business lures

(14:26):
you to better, bigger challenges. And the essence of a
great company and a great broadcaster is the one who's
intertwined in the community, the one who they signature to
their community. And you're that more so than anybody KFAB
has ever had. You know, Lyle was an icon because

(14:46):
of the Husker stuff, and Ken Hedrick was a great broadcaster,
and Walkavano was a great news guy, there's no question
about that. And Johnny of course was a wonderful comedian
and went on to become a global entertainer. But you're
the one that people connect to Omaha. This is Omaha
at its best. This guy represents the best of us. Well,
that's very kind of He's funny, he's hard working, but

(15:08):
he doesn't take himself too seriously.

Speaker 5 (15:09):
But when it comes to serious stuff, he's right there.
A couple of things I would say, I think I
feel kind of sorry for people who their identity is
their work. In other words, that's who they are. I've
never been that because I think you have to have

(15:31):
you have to have you have to be self possessed
of who you are outside of what you actually do
for a living. But the other thing is that that
might run a little bit counter. This place has been
the only constant in my life for forty nine years.
The woman I was married to and we moved here

(15:52):
left me didn't have any kids when I moved here.

Speaker 7 (15:56):
Well, she was a big K Car fan.

Speaker 5 (15:58):
So this place has been the one constant, the only
constant in my life for all these forty nine years,
and it's very special to me, this place, this building,
the station, and the heritage. But I don't but you
can't define yourself by no what you do. Well, it
seems to me. I think, let me see if I

(16:20):
can find this real quick.

Speaker 6 (16:21):
Here we go.

Speaker 7 (16:22):
There are at least two constants in your life over
forty nine years. Almost because your daughter, Mandy is about
that age.

Speaker 5 (16:30):
We were pregnant with her when we moved here, but
we didn't know.

Speaker 7 (16:33):
It, and I in preparation for this show with digging
through some of the archives. This was Mandy calling in
to wish you well on your thirtieth anniversary on this
radio station.

Speaker 14 (16:44):
I was thinking of all the memories that I have
since you've been a KVB, and one of the best
ones for me is every birthday you give me a
shout out, as they say, and you will always play
very Manilo's song Mandy for me and a lot of
people just like to hear that song. Well, that always
touches my heart and brings little tear to my eyes
because it makes me think of my dad. So that's
one thing that says a daughter, that's been great having
you worked there.

Speaker 7 (17:04):
That's a blending of your personal and professional life right there, right.

Speaker 5 (17:09):
Yeah. And your classmate at Ralston High Yeah, my eldest daughter.

Speaker 7 (17:13):
Yeah, yeah, not the reason why I got the job.
I remember shortly after I got hired, you said. I
asked my daughter if she remembered you, and she said,
is he the golfer? Like, no, that's Scott Gocheski, another
Scott in our class. She had very little memory of it. Oh,
I thought it.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
The two of you were in detention for smoking outside teachers.

Speaker 5 (17:31):
Oh, we have some interesting times.

Speaker 7 (17:33):
I never got caught. She went to, He's the one
that I got you.

Speaker 5 (17:37):
My greatest, my greatest Mandy story was when she, uh,
she and some friends decided they were going to skip
school one day. Yeah, and uh, and here I am
on the radio. I'm a I'm a radio guy. And
so she has one of the boys call pretending to
be her dad. How about you get a girl to
call and pretend to be her mom. See, maybe maybe

(17:59):
an adolescent boy wouldn't be confused.

Speaker 7 (18:02):
With me guy on the radio. One of the more
recog that was that was beautiful.

Speaker 5 (18:06):
That was beautiful. So I got a call from Bob Myers,
who was principle at the time. No, you don't sound
anything like the guy that.

Speaker 7 (18:14):
Well, there's there's one other voice I want to at
least introduce here into this conversation because the morning show
was so packed today. There's Lucy Chapman, who has been
a huge part of the Morning show and your life
and career. I want you guys to chat for a second.

Speaker 5 (18:31):
Yeah, Lucy, I want I wanted to talk with you
during the show this morning, and everything just went sideways,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 7 (18:36):
I'm not going to hold it against Yeah, that's why
we're in overtime now.

Speaker 5 (18:40):
We have a lot of miles behind us, you know,
A lot of good miles.

Speaker 8 (18:45):
All of them were good.

Speaker 5 (18:48):
You got annoyed with me from time to time.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Daily, Yeah, that's okay, that's family. If you're not getting
annoyed with your family, then you just don't love them.

Speaker 8 (18:57):
Yeah. And as soon as I walk out the doors,
like everything else, everybody, if you forget.

Speaker 5 (19:02):
It, yeah, and I'm sure you and I'll miss the
daily I'll miss the daily back and forth with you guys.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
What's pretty It's really amazing. And this is again is
sometimes you have to think outside where you are because
you get caught.

Speaker 5 (19:14):
Up and where you are.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
But to have this many people on this facility for
as long as we have is unheard of in their business.
I mean, Lucy's been here for over twenty years, just
on this one in the market, over thirty all right,
Scott's the young guy twenty years almost yeah, and you've
been I'm twenty four, this is here, I'm into year

(19:34):
twenty five. And then this one over here, who's only
been on the air for half the entire age of
the radio station, one hundred year fifty. That's that I
hope that Omaha appreciates. And there just isn't any place
else like that.

Speaker 7 (19:47):
Anymore.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Now it doesn't matter what the medium is, television, radio, newspaper,
they don't have that kind of community Laune out that's generational.

Speaker 7 (19:55):
So people who listen to this radio station, who've connected
with the station obviously would be forgiven based on Jim's
timeline of the longevity here if they have some reluctance
to change. So what people have been telling me is like, well,
I want to hear Jim, I want to hear Lucy,
and like, Okay, this is all the nucleus is still
a part of it. You'll just have to deal with

(20:15):
a bit more of me. But what I bring is
the specter of what Gary Sadelmeyer has done for thirty
years in this time slot. What what did that morning
show sound like when you first started here, when.

Speaker 5 (20:30):
I first came to the station, No.

Speaker 7 (20:32):
When when you first started the morning show back in
the nineties were what were your thoughts on, Okay, I'm
gonna do the morning program here?

Speaker 5 (20:38):
Yeah, we called it the Good Morning Show and it
was Kent and me primarily.

Speaker 7 (20:46):
What's that have to do with Kent?

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Who's doing the news? Then that would have been wow
because Walt had left Jerry. Let's see ninety five would
have been I think I think Jerry. Now Jerry was
still here.

Speaker 5 (20:59):
It might have been Rooney or Terry in the morning news.
It's hard, really hard. I always say I should have
got the journal, and I never did.

Speaker 7 (21:07):
But what were your thoughts before? So it's the friday
before you're starting the morning show on Monday, which is
the position I'm at. What were your thoughts at the
time I.

Speaker 5 (21:15):
Was ready to go. I mean, Kent and I had
talked about it. We had a good rapport and he would.

Speaker 7 (21:20):
Do sports and I wish I had that with Jim.

Speaker 5 (21:22):
Yeah, it's going to be to have a chance. But
by the way, I heard you mentioned yesterday that I
that I had said I was excited about what you
had planned. Yea, And you thought I met for the
morning show. What I meant was for the station. We're
not at the announcement stage yet. No, that's but that's
what I meant that I'm excited about for what for
the rest remainder of the day.

Speaker 7 (21:44):
Yes, Look, twenty twenty six is going to be a
big year for this radio station and I'm so glad
Gary that you'll continue to be a part of it.
Thank you In whatever basis that you want to because
you you're no slacker. You want to officially be a
part of the station to get to fifty years, which
is now a year and a day away. So three

(22:06):
hundred and sixty six days from now, well we'll do
all this again.

Speaker 5 (22:10):
And you're gonna let me know when you'll be gone.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
I'm gonna start one. I'm gonna start putting in vacation
days now, just we can schedule him.

Speaker 7 (22:16):
I'm gonna be gone. The next day I have off
is December fifteenth, Monday. Yeah, are you available?

Speaker 5 (22:25):
No?

Speaker 13 (22:25):
No?

Speaker 6 (22:26):
That one?

Speaker 9 (22:26):
Well?

Speaker 7 (22:27):
Thanks? Well, you know, Gary says, you know that he's
not leaving because of his health. But just a couple
more soundbyes here before we get to a Fox News update.
Gary clearly has a problem with respiratory issues. From time
to time. He goes into record and this is the
first thing I hear. And when I pull up that

(22:47):
recording session.

Speaker 5 (22:48):
Hi, as Gary, I take two, and here's another one, and.

Speaker 7 (23:03):
I mean I've got yeah, you got a million of
those on bets stuff.

Speaker 5 (23:07):
So well, you know what happens this is this is
kind of a family curse, the the SIUs throat thing.
It's just a family and by the end of the
show every morning it's starting, it's starting to wear out
a little bit and bubble up. So that's when I
go into the studio and that's when you yeah, you

(23:28):
weasele you were, you know, save all that stuff.

Speaker 7 (23:32):
I have lots of fun stuff. Yeah, all right, we've
only just begun. Gary, Jim, you guys can be a
part of this as much as you want.

Speaker 5 (23:39):

You want mores just north of West Center Road one
hundred and twentieth in Crier. And of course they've got
terrific knowledgeable experts there helping you to know how to
winterize all of your flawn garden and d dot dbdddd.
Well I almost made it three for three.

Speaker 7 (24:08):
Another attempt at recording a commercial by Gary Sadelmeyer. You
only keep the mistakes. That's why I'm still here. I'm
Scott forhe is Lucy Chapman right there. This is Nebraska's news,
weather and traffic station, news Radio eleven to ten KFAB.
Tj emails via the Zonker's custom was inbox Scott atkfab
dot com and says, I'm not sure if you have it.

(24:30):
I can't remember exactly what he said, but he once
made a comment towards Courtney Dunahoe, and it was amazingly uncomfortable.
I take exception to that email, TJ, simply because you
put that in the singular context. You mean he once
a day made a comment towards Courtney Courtney Donahoan who

(24:52):
was incredibly uncomfortable. Sometimes he would do it and not
even realize he was doing it. Another great moment in
Saddlemeyer history, which I don't have the audio of. I
didn't keep it, but I'll never forget it. He was
transitioning from the weather update to bringing on Courtney Dunahoe,
and it was a rainy forecast, so he said, it's

(25:14):
gonna be moist today. And I don't know if Lucy
or someone said like, I don't like that word, that
would that be something that you would say.

Speaker 8 (25:21):
Lucy, I don't think it was me.

Speaker 7 (25:24):
Well, he might have just been responding some people they
don't like the word moist, and Gary recognized that as
soon as he said it. He's asked, some people don't
like the word moist, how about a wet one? Here's
here's Courtney Dunahoe from Bloomberg, And I was like, wait
a second, did you just introduce Courtney like he was
transitioning from one thought to an entirely separate one. But

(25:45):
on the air we heard, how about a wet one?
Here's Courtney Dunnahoe from Bloomberg.

Speaker 8 (25:51):
I miss that. I maybe I wasn't near.

Speaker 7 (25:55):
She and I had several enjoyable texts laughing about that
for the next couple of days. So I don't have
that bit of audio, but I've got these They are
obsessed Courtney our Bloomberg reporter on the morning program, and
Gary They're obsessed with underwear.

Speaker 5 (26:15):
A lot of companies are kind of changing their policies
on returns now.

Speaker 17 (26:19):
Right, yes, because it is It costs these companies a
lot of money, first of all in the lost revenue
and in the cost of trying to turn around an
item to be sold again. And don't forget about all
the fraud that people have or a lot of those
people who wear an item out once and then just
return it back. How gross is.

Speaker 5 (26:39):
That The one item of clothing where you have to
be really sure is underwear. Do you think anybody tries
to return under.

Speaker 8 (26:50):
Try to return everything?

Speaker 5 (26:52):
Oh, well, just just keep it. Here's your rEFInd just
keep it.

Speaker 17 (26:56):
Yeah, I wouldn't put it past people. People do a
lot of dumb Things'd.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
Be brutal, that'd be brutal.

Speaker 6 (27:06):
Yeah, you don't want to be doing that.

Speaker 7 (27:07):
Swimwear is another one.

Speaker 5 (27:09):
Well, no, you can try that on.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Well, you better make sure you have a little layer
of something between the swimwear and the goods, saying.

Speaker 17 (27:18):
I think that little piece of paper that they have
at the bottom of the swim suit, that.

Speaker 5 (27:21):
Is right, So I was supposed to remove that. I
didn't know. All right, sweet, you have a great day,
you too, will check back tomorrow.

Speaker 7 (27:40):
That's just from this past year. This next one goes
back to twenty eighteen.

Speaker 17 (27:45):
And in case you thought it went away, it's back
the Lingerie report.

Speaker 8 (27:49):
It's here for you.

Speaker 5 (27:51):
Rosie's happy.

Speaker 18 (27:52):
There we go.

Speaker 17 (27:54):
Well, it was disappointing though, for the owner of Victoria's
Secret l Brands, reporting disappointing in store sales for December.
Victoria's Secret, though, has been undergoing a transformation, focusing more
on core products such as push up brass.

Speaker 8 (28:08):
Sometimes we all need a little bit of help.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
Core products.

Speaker 7 (28:11):
It is core products.

Speaker 17 (28:12):
The other core products is panties, and they've been embracing
a fast fashion model for that in which styles are
updated a little more frequently people go back and buy
a little bit more.

Speaker 18 (28:23):
I need change that style.

Speaker 5 (28:25):
Well, I mean you've probably got your sling shot, you
got your grannies, you got I mean, there's all shot,
so you're so little kinds of styles.

Speaker 9 (28:38):
I suggested they.

Speaker 18 (28:39):
Go from cotton to deental flows. Is that the next morning?

Speaker 5 (28:41):
I mean, whatever it takes to get market the market share, right,
cork shot. I don't know that that's industry term, but
it works for me. You finally got we finally got
our lovely.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
Miss Donahoe broken up on the air, I literally crying,
you can run, but Courtney, oh.

Speaker 9 (29:05):
My goodness, that is hysterical.

Speaker 5 (29:09):
We have to take you.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
She's going to walk around Bloomberg this morning and wonder
who's wearing a sling shot.

Speaker 5 (29:16):
She's gonna spread the word.

Speaker 18 (29:17):
You know, this is the new styles. O.

Speaker 5 (29:20):
What other business report on America features this?

Speaker 8 (29:23):
Exactly?

Speaker 5 (29:25):
No other? Right, Gartney, Thanks, we'll talk tomorrow.

Speaker 7 (29:28):
So that's from twenty eighteen. This proof that Gary as
I said at the start of this hour, is a fraud.
He runs the dirtiest radio show in history. And I'll
be amongst those who are brave enough to say it,
it's about time it came to an end. Do you
like how I'm taking the high ground here?

Speaker 8 (29:46):
Well, I have to say my eyes are open and
I've been here of you.

Speaker 12 (29:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (29:49):
See. And I also like how I'm pretending as though
I've never had anything to do with taking this show
directly into the gutter. Here's a segment I'll in in
my defense. I didn't start this. I don't remember exactly
how it started, and I didn't remember this clip at
all until I found it in the archives. This goes
back to two thousand and seven. I've got my own

(30:12):
issues with your decisions on things where you said you
wouldn't have relations with a man if you could save
the planet.

Speaker 5 (30:19):
Well, that was a heck of a question. That's like
that that scruples game.

Speaker 6 (30:23):
What did that question about?

Speaker 7 (30:26):
You were gone? Yeah, the question was this is great.

Speaker 5 (30:29):
Listen to this.

Speaker 7 (30:30):
If if Gary Sadelmayer could save the No, if you
could save the planet by having relations with a man,
would you? And you he said no, You put my
entire family in jeopardy because he didn't want to get
down with the dude.

Speaker 6 (30:42):
Yeah, well he doesn't swing that way.

Speaker 7 (30:45):
Yeah, but to say it, to save.

Speaker 5 (30:50):
The one, I gotta tell you, I gotta tell you,
I'm talking about the future of the planet and everybody
on it. You got to stop and think about that.
And then, no, this isn't.

Speaker 7 (31:00):
A dollar off cupe on at the at high V.
This is to save the planet. We direct a statue
of you and you're.

Speaker 5 (31:05):
Okay, okay, I have the follow on question of that. Then, Scott,
what is there that you wouldn't do to save the planet.

Speaker 7 (31:14):
I do anything, anything at all, anything anything. Yeah, I'd
do most things for like fifty bucks. So I do
anything to save the planet.

Speaker 6 (31:21):
So when do you think this is going to become
an issue?

Speaker 7 (31:26):
It wasn't even my question? Is jo big trouble Jim
Rosi's question.

Speaker 6 (31:30):
That's unbelievable.

Speaker 7 (31:32):
This would be the.

Speaker 5 (31:32):
Better, great question.

Speaker 18 (31:33):
Dang it, wire busy with Bruce over there.

Speaker 7 (31:37):
We need you now the plot of the next Saw movie.
All right, so maybe I've had a few things to
do with the sophomoric comments that occasionally happened on the program.
Now Lucy can absolve herself from all of it.

Speaker 8 (31:51):
Was Roger just telling him to go over there and
get busy.

Speaker 7 (31:54):
With Bruce, and Bruce get busy with Bruce over there.

Speaker 6 (31:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (31:58):
No, it's like a lot of these questions. I don't
know in what Nightmaris scenario that you'd be in a
position where you have to do whatever to save humanity.
But the fact that Gary wouldn't do as we described
to save the planet shows once again he's a selfish monster,

(32:18):
and that's what we are revealing, maybe opening like Lucy
Chapman's eyes for the very first time on all this.
You know, there have been some sweet moments on Gary's
program over the years. I think it's time to bring
up one of those. This was his thirtieth anniversary program
when he was just a baby nineteen years ago here

(32:41):
on this radio station, and he had a special guest
visitor on that program, Roger Olsen, longtime Kfab personality, still
is with us on staff. We're not able to have
Roger on as much as everyone would like to, but
he was a constant on the morning show at the time.

Speaker 19 (32:59):
When Gary was a young fellow growing up there on
the farm. Did you ever anticipate that he would have
a career in radio like this.

Speaker 7 (33:07):
Okay, so I thought he set this up. This is
Gary's mom who called into the program that morning?

Speaker 13 (33:14):
Well, yes, actually, because he would walk around the house
carrying hairbrush pretending it microphone.

Speaker 5 (33:26):
That's true.

Speaker 6 (33:28):
He was.

Speaker 19 (33:28):
He certainly is very, very good at impressions. Was he
always good at that when he was a kid.

Speaker 13 (33:34):
Yeah, And he's a ham and he likes to the
performs of the people.

Speaker 19 (33:40):
If he hadn't gone into radio, what do you think
he would have gone into.

Speaker 13 (33:44):
I honestly don't know, unless it would have been journalism.

Speaker 19 (33:49):
I understand he was a little bit of a class clown.

Speaker 6 (33:53):
Is that true?

Speaker 12 (33:55):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (33:55):
Absolutely?

Speaker 19 (33:57):
But did it ever get Did it ever get him
in any trouble?

Speaker 13 (34:00):
Oh? Not really. He was in class place And I
never told mamma like that because he liked to ham
it up.

Speaker 6 (34:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 19 (34:09):
Well, do you have a message you'd like to send
to Gary this morning? I'm sure he's going to be
calling you later.

Speaker 13 (34:16):
He canna really be thirty years? No, absolutely, five years,
because he went to Grand Island first for five years.
Can it actually be that long?

Speaker 12 (34:31):
Ye?

Speaker 13 (34:31):
I saw him drive out with Ford car and the
u haul going to parts unknown, not knowing what to expect.
But Nebraska has been good to him and he's a
true Nebraska now, not a Minnesota anymore.

Speaker 7 (34:51):
That is Gary's mommy called up here. That was nineteen
years ago on Gary's thirtieth anniversary.

Speaker 8 (34:57):
That is so sweet.

Speaker 7 (34:59):
Well, and the funny thing of about that is that,
you know, we celebrated Gary's thirtieth anniversary here that was
two thousand and six, and people were asking him this,
So when you're going to retire, you know, I mean,
you hear that someone's been with the same station thirty years,
you think, all right, what are you like? Eighty one
eighty two years old? No, Gary started here when he

(35:22):
was very very young. He's still young, and I maintain
too young to retire. But the decision has been made.
We are doing the Gary Sadlemeyer post game show this morning.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
Scott Bodies News Radio eleven ten key fad.

Speaker 5 (35:39):
Interest rates the lowest they've ever been for folks who
want to buy a business, and that has really brought out.

Speaker 7 (35:52):
He almost made it through that ad just keeping some
of the stuff that's made me laugh over the years.
But Scott, for he's here. Lucy Chapman News Radio eleven
ten kfab you know, get when Gary wants to, he
has been able to get after it as a fire
breathing talk radio host from twenty fifteen.

Speaker 5 (36:15):
OK about Ernie Chambers thing, No, I'm not questioning the
outrage among folks. I'm questioning that. What I think is
a very tepid response from most of the legislature are
elected officials across the state whose jurisdictions have anything to
do with Omo, and I believe that every single one
of them should be demanding at the very minimument apology,

(36:37):
and I think the resignation of Senator Chambers, which of
course he's not going to do. But it takes some
leadership when you have an outrage like this, when you
have the highest profile state senator and a man who
is respected by some who carry guns, saying basically, if
you got one and you encounter a cop, you ought
to shoot him and then ask questions later. And we're

(37:00):
not And don't talk to me about context. Well, the contracts,
I don't know, there is no context that excuses making
that kind of a statement. And by the way, don't
talk to me about race either. I've heard, I've.

Speaker 6 (37:14):
Seen this comment.

Speaker 5 (37:15):
Well, he's immune from criticism because he's African American. And
if you're criticizing your racist, no, no, I don't care
about that. So if you believe that, if you believe
that racists are criticizing Chambers, then you must believe that
they would not criticize a white senator who would make
the same statement. Tell me if you believe that, if
your view is that only racists are criticizing Chambers, see

(37:38):
Gary Sadlemeyer.

Speaker 7 (37:39):
Yeah, where we are. We are playing some of the errors,
the mistakes, the more lighthearted moments, but it's that heart
also that has been beating on this radio station for
several decades.

Speaker 20 (38:10):
Jim Man, Gary, jim Man, Gary, go together like a
cow And Gary, I tell you bront.

Speaker 15 (40:06):
News, weather, traffic and relevant talk radio you want, we
are your station.

Speaker 16 (40:10):
We are News Radio eleven ten KF. Baby, here's Scott Borgives.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
Every than up time, yeah baby, everything it's all upsuck.

Speaker 4 (40:29):
Okay, here we go.

Speaker 7 (40:32):
All right, hot jeeves, good morning, and thank you so
much for being with us here today. I am Scott Borhees.
There is Lucy Chapman. This is News Radio eleven ten
KFAB and this morning from five point thirty to nine

(40:54):
was Gary Saddlemeier's last go around on hosting our morning
program here on eleven ten KFAB on a regular basis.
I don't want anyone to think that this is like
shares farewell tour, and eight years later, she's still going
out on tour. Gary has said he's he definitely wants

(41:16):
to have, if not a toe, certainly a foot in
the waters here at KFAB because in one year and
one day from now, it'll officially be fifty years to
the date that Gary started on this radio station, which
made all of us wonder, why are you leaving now?
Why not just do the show for another year? Easy

(41:38):
for us to say, Gary, well, Lucy knows, and I
am looking forward to finding out what it's like to
devote basically your life to your schedule to get up
and do the morning program and all the other things
you have to do at work and in your life,
and start them at an hour when some people who

(42:00):
have a lot more fun than we do are just
going to bed. So this has been Gary's life for
the last well thirty years, doing the morning show, another
about twenty years in various capacities with the station before that.
In addition to doing the morning show, he's also been
the program director of this radio station. And even though
I'm the one who currently defaults on that title, Gary

(42:25):
is still our leader of our radio station.

Speaker 6 (42:29):
You know.

Speaker 7 (42:29):
They it's kind of like we joked yesterday about the
brand new Narco terrorist, Like, Hey, I know you just
started here with this gang, but you already get to
drive the Narco boat. Isn't that exciting for you? They didn't.
He didn't realize, like, oh great, and then he goes
directly into a missile. That's kind of like what it's

(42:50):
like to be program director of this radio station. Hey, congratulations,
you're in charge. Hey can I do all this stuff?

Speaker 6 (42:56):
No?

Speaker 7 (42:57):
But here's a bunch of paperwork and spreadsheets you can
fill out, and here are all the conference calls you
have to do and meetings you have to have this week.
Oh I thought I was directing the program ha haaaa. No,
So there's some of that. But Gary had just an
incredible schedule so for him to be able to step

(43:18):
back from hosting the morning show full time and to
be able to vote his energy to devote his energies
on a more full time basis to all the other
things he has going on in his life, which a
lot of us at the station didn't realize he had
much of a life outside of the station. He certainly does,
and that's why we're letting him step back from hosting

(43:41):
the morning show full time. That means he can still
pop in here anytime he wants. You'll still hear him
talking about all of his various advertising partners, of which
I think we're down to eighty six or eighty seven
now of those, and he'll fill in for me when
I take some time off from doing the morning show,
which I don't want to do because I mean it's

(44:04):
going to be a letdown when I start on Monday.
Anyway would be better or worse when there's a letdown
when I take a couple of days off here in
a couple of months, and then Gary comes in and
does the show and then hey, I'm back, Thanks Gary
for filling in, and listeners are like, this isn't working
at all. So I just really appreciate just being a

(44:29):
part of all of what we have going on here
on news Radio eleven ten KFAB and a lot of
it's because Gary has made this a very fun place
to work. After the show, I go back into a
studio where Gary has gone, and he records himself either
doing commercials or here's a promo that we run throughout

(44:52):
the day for coming up tomorrow on kofab's morning News.
You know that kind of stuff. I don't want you
to think that, Wow, Gary is an unprofessional, useless. No,
he's very good. And often his promos and his commercials
and everything are just one take, which is what we
strive for in this business. But not all of them.

(45:16):
I'm playing you the ones that are more of the
error variety. So here's usually the first thing I hear
when I go up and pull up the file that
Gary has recorded for me on any given day.

Speaker 5 (45:30):
Hello Scott, and Hello Scott. All right, here are a
few tens.

Speaker 7 (45:43):
It's tens for the ten second liners we air on
this radio station.

Speaker 5 (45:48):
Coming Monday on a good morning show. What in the
hell is going on with these gas prices? Well, that's
what everybody's saying, coming Monday on a good morning show.
We don't need this a big jumping gas prices in
July and August, Chief Economists of the American Petroleum.

Speaker 7 (46:12):
Scott, do you have any more of these?

Speaker 5 (46:14):
Yes, exciting days just ahead for all things big Red
hear all about.

Speaker 8 (46:25):
You ever get any of them right on the Oh?

Speaker 7 (46:27):
Yeah, all the time. I'd say probably ninety five percent
of the time I have thought so, Yeah, but not
this one.

Speaker 5 (46:33):
He's doctor Senator Luanne Lenihan about what did we talk about?

Speaker 8 (46:40):
I know that feeling? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (46:43):
How many times does someone find you in the afternoon ago?
How was the show today? That was pretty good? What'd
you guys talk about?

Speaker 6 (46:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (46:52):
I wasn't listening Trump.

Speaker 8 (46:55):
Yeah, that's usually a pretty good answer.

Speaker 7 (46:58):
The default answer. Part of Gary's problems when he's back
there recording something is he wants to make sure that
his commercials are exactly the length they're supposed to be.
Good man, Yeah, thirty seconds, sixty seconds. His promos have
to be ten seconds. And in order for him to
do this, even though there's a running clock right in

(47:20):
front of him on the computer as he records this,
it's not that hard. Gary prefers to have the Stopwatch
on his phone with him in the studio, which is
always a bit of an ordeal.

Speaker 5 (47:34):
Okay, here we go. Well, jesus, I got to get
my Stopwatch out. You know, you'd think I know I'm
a rookie, but you'd think i'd be better prepared.

Speaker 10 (47:45):
Okay, stop Watch?

Speaker 7 (47:50):
All right, Yes, he's back there talking to nobody. These
are just things only I would be listening to later
in cases like this, everybody.

Speaker 10 (48:02):
Oh yeah, stop watch right hu, stop watch okay.

Speaker 7 (48:18):
And because he has his phone right there.

Speaker 5 (48:20):
Okay, here we go, all right, geez.

Speaker 7 (48:30):
So there's a little bit of what I've been treated
to over the years, going back and pulling up those files.
Sometimes it's when we are trying to do commercials here
on this radio station, whether it's something that like Roger
Olsen would be doing on the air.

Speaker 19 (48:50):
It is a great place to go. It's your one stop.
What is Roger one stop? Paying relief?

Speaker 7 (48:57):
Poor Roger. Roger for years would do ads in here
for the Good Feet Store. And Gary was the first
one to as soon as as soon as Roger would say,
it's Roger Olsen for the Good Feet Store. It started
by Gary just taking like putting his shoe up on
the desk, and then he would take his shoe off

(49:19):
and wave it around in the studio. And then we
would just all three of us, Jim, Gary, me, we'd
go and we put our shoes up on Roger's leg
on his copy for the commercial he's trying to read.
There'd just be shoes. We would throw shoes at Roger.

Speaker 8 (49:39):
I don't recall that you guys doing that at all.

Speaker 7 (49:42):
It's almost like you're not paying attention to what's going
on here in the in the monkey cage.

Speaker 8 (49:47):
Well, that's probably fair.

Speaker 7 (49:49):
We wouldn't bother Lucy like that, but we would do
that to Roger and on occasion. Yet even me, Granite
Transformations makes a real smooth, nice countertop and a.

Speaker 5 (49:59):
Clean right up. I guess isn't that part of the
cell that you're doing here?

Speaker 7 (50:05):
No, I said, I'm not talking about I'm talking about
people cooking and bacon. Any correlation that you're making in
your mind as perfect as purely your own. Granted Transformation's countertops,
Well they are. They are staying resistant also scratch resistant.

Speaker 4 (50:21):
Good.

Speaker 7 (50:22):
Yeah, that's on the You know the clients love this.

Speaker 9 (50:25):
I bet they do.

Speaker 7 (50:26):
Yeah, let's check. Is Granted Transformation still one of our clients. No,
there reasons for that. Well, they don't exist in that
form anymore, so that's why. But let's see here. Oh,
this next one was, Oh, Gary and Jim, we're recording
something on this date.

Speaker 5 (50:46):
I've already talked to some folks. Said, man, I didn't know.
I thought you had to be a big company. Now
you have the case. Yeah, I just interrupted you, all right,
Well that's okay, God don't stop.

Speaker 7 (50:59):
You knows as much as certainly, Gary is woven within
the fabric of our morning show and our radio station.
Jim Rose is obviously right there too. And up next
you'll hear one of my favorite segments that those guys
ever did together. That's coming up shortly right here.

Speaker 3 (51:17):
Scott Boys News Radio eleven.

Speaker 5 (51:21):
Kfab all right, I have a new sixty.

Speaker 6 (51:26):
For NFM.

Speaker 5 (51:27):
It says it starts the sixth, which is Saturday, and
since they don't run on Saturday, I assume they mean
the eighth.

Speaker 7 (51:41):
Getting a little bit of pulling back the curtain on
Gary's true personality that sometimes he shrouds in fake professionalism.
As I've been telling you throughout the morning, Gary Sadelmeyer
is a fraud.

Speaker 5 (51:56):
NFM is the place to get everything you need to
get your home ready for summer. Hi, it's Gary Sadelmayer
for SFM. YESFM, what hell?

Speaker 7 (52:08):
That's beautiful, It's great. And the best part is I
record all my own stuff, so no one has any
of this on me, And Lucy records all of her
own stuff, so no one has any of this on Lucy.
I've got a few on you. I'm already getting text
from Jim. What do you got on me? Hey, you're
not retiring today, big guy? And Lucy, I've got a

(52:29):
few on you as well.

Speaker 8 (52:31):
Do you have to bleep them?

Speaker 7 (52:32):
I had to bleep all jims. Here's one on the
air though, with Gary and Jim, and this is this
is part of what people love. I've always called Gary
and Jim Omaha's favorite old married couple, and it's conversations
like this.

Speaker 5 (52:47):
Rosie's volunteered to pull the plug when the time comes.

Speaker 6 (52:51):
Yeah, there's going to be a conflict in your family.

Speaker 5 (52:54):
I don't think so, but you can come and pull
the plug.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
I've introduced, I've I've spent time in interviewed every single
one of them, and I think when the time comes
and you're sitting there and you're in that state and
it's time to go, there's gonna they're gonna divide right
down the middle.

Speaker 6 (53:08):
Half of them gonna say.

Speaker 5 (53:09):
No, no, don't pull the plug.

Speaker 18 (53:11):
On that I have an argument, and the other half
will say pull the plug.

Speaker 5 (53:15):
So that checked the document and have Rosie come over.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
Then the lawyer comes in says, I'm sorry, we have
an executioner.

Speaker 18 (53:23):
The grim reaper has arrived and then.

Speaker 5 (53:25):
I walk in. Oh everybody, they go, how about that Courtney?

Speaker 17 (53:30):
How morbid are you going?

Speaker 5 (53:31):
I don't even know how we got on.

Speaker 18 (53:34):
Now we're talking about a friend. We're talking about a friend.

Speaker 1 (53:36):
Oh that's where I had some troubles, health problems, and
we're both look gonna what kind of quality of life
is this guy?

Speaker 5 (53:41):
Rosie and I have a mutual packed. We'll pull each
other's plums, our courtner. You could pull the plug. You
can be here a disinterested outside all. Oh, we're friends,
but I mean, right, the woman from New York is
coming into pull the plug.

Speaker 18 (53:55):
So you don't you don't do it.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
You don't think I couldn't walk in there and yank
that thing out of the wall with no thought, second
thought whatsoever.

Speaker 6 (54:04):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (54:04):
Yes, even if I'll on.

Speaker 17 (54:06):
The hospital staff to protect yourself from.

Speaker 1 (54:10):
Telor, you underestimate my capacity to set emotion aside hardheartedness.
Ye like when it comes to business. Uh, you know
I've been given a task. Well, if you had it
to do, yeah, you've told you ordered me, You gave
me that. You asked me if.

Speaker 5 (54:24):
It should be somebody uh from out of state to
come in.

Speaker 18 (54:28):
And Oh no, you don't need to waste that.

Speaker 6 (54:29):
I'm right here for you. I'm your man.

Speaker 17 (54:31):
I love the way that you're talking about it. It's
like on a to do list, like go get butter.

Speaker 5 (54:37):
Actually it does. It does raise a serious issue, doesn't
it about durable power of attorney or whatever the term
is living will? I don't know, but yeah, I mean
if i'm if I'm you know, if I'm thinking I'm
the Queen of England or something, I can't operate if
I can't.

Speaker 7 (54:52):
Function thinking I'm the Queen of England or something. Gary
has another phrase for people who maybe are a bit
off kilter mentally, and that is their licking doorknobs.

Speaker 8 (55:07):
I thought you've said that before.

Speaker 7 (55:09):
I've said it before, Window, because when Gary came up
with it, he wants, I know, I remember who he
said it about too. I'm not going to say that
he is, Like I said, what's going on with that
guy is like he's off licking doorknobs his face for
how someone maybe is has has lost a bit of

(55:29):
their mind. And we are playing some of the segments
over the years that shows that we have never had
our full faculties here on this radio station.

Speaker 8 (55:39):
Vouch for that.

Speaker 7 (55:40):
Every once in a while we're able to hold it
together for minutes at a time. But more of the
fun stuff we've heard over the years from Gary Saddlemeyer
coming up next after a Fox News update, shortly.

Speaker 15 (57:55):
Nebraska's news, weather and traffic station.

Speaker 16 (57:57):
We are News Radio eleven ten k AN iHeartRadio Station
Guaranteed Human.

Speaker 5 (58:07):
We depart April thirtieth, twenty sixteen. Now we're gonna go
to Rotterdam. No we're not. Now we're going Budapest.

Speaker 7 (58:21):
With Lucy Chaban. I'm Scott Vorhees here on News Radio
eleven ten KFAB and I really appreciate you being with
us this morning. Many of you have been here since
just after five thirty when Gary and Jim and Lucy
began what was Gary's final hosting of our morning program
full time. Note the asterisk. Gary is invited to come

(58:43):
hang out for an hour or two anytime he wants.
He has said he'll fill in for me when I
take a day or two off, which I'm very reluctant
to do. Who would let Gary Sadlemayer fill in for
them and then try and come back from that?

Speaker 8 (58:58):
Is he gonna fill in for me if I take
it out?

Speaker 4 (59:00):
You know?

Speaker 7 (59:01):
You know you can traffic updates the way that you
do them. Really the only thing that Gary and I
have not done on this radio station. If I just
sit there and look at your maps. Now, I've tried
to do traffic updates sometimes in the afternoon. You're not
here and we've had some technical issues, and so I
just pull up the maps and try and do something,

(59:22):
and I immediately get all turned around. So I do too.
Suddenly I don't know which direction for eighty goes or
I eighty or the dodge. I'm like seventy second northwest
boundary and it's what you are able to do in

(59:42):
the way that you do it in the short amount
of time you often have to do it is awesome.

Speaker 8 (59:47):
Well, thanks, but I've also done some.

Speaker 7 (59:50):
Bad and I'll try and play those on after your
final program. Today. We are celebrating Gary hosted the morning
show for the final time today and everyone is wishing
Gary well. We put a sign above the studio naming
the studio after Gary. We are now here in the
Gary Sadlemeyers Studio on news Radio eleven ten kfab and

(01:00:14):
as Lucy looks at the sign, which I asked several people,
who wants to put this up? So it's actually straight,
because my friends have told me I'm not actually straight,
so I don't know if I'm the one that wants
to put this sign up. And they said, ah, you
go ahead, and then three people looked at it. As
we're put it up, I said, here, because it's it's
double sided tape that it's gonna tear the wall apart,

(01:00:35):
and we have to get more double sided tape, and
I don't have any, so I said, when this thing
goes on the wall, it's stayed. Is it straight? Looks great?
Then we got it here and Lucy goes, it's crooked.

Speaker 8 (01:00:46):
I did say it was crooked.

Speaker 7 (01:00:48):
It's it is crooked. It's not crooked. Yes, I look,
and I'm not only fine with that, I think that's
the way it should be, because we in the Gary
Sadlemeyer studio are just a little bit off.

Speaker 8 (01:01:04):
You know what, You're right, that's perfect.

Speaker 7 (01:01:07):
That's another phrase that Gary taught me, half a bubble off.
He would usually say that if he came in here,
like on no sleep or something. He goes, I'm just
half a bubble off today, which might explain the next
round of things I have to play for you. As
it turns out, Gary's goofing up and goofing around is

(01:01:29):
not limited to what he does in a studio when
he's in there by himself, recording things that he thinks
only I will hear, and ever hear, not knowing I've
been saving this stuff for two decades. Sometimes his mistakes
are on the air and when he doesn't, and this

(01:01:49):
is Gary both. Sometimes he gets a kick out of this,
and sometimes he gets kind of upset with me when
I have to point out, like if I'm in here
filling in for Jim or something, he leaves his microphone
on all the time, and I start sweating. I'm so nervous.
So what's gonna happen next? Because sometimes he doesn't know

(01:02:11):
as Mike is on, Like during a weather forecast.

Speaker 5 (01:02:15):
From Channel six hime GM Flowers with the eleven ten
KPAB three day Weather Watch, we're looking at.

Speaker 7 (01:02:20):
Low clouds moving up out of Oklahoma. And did you
hear that today?

Speaker 19 (01:02:23):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (01:02:23):
Yeah, did you hear that? Do I need to play
that again? Here in the background you can hear someone
belching in the background from Channel.

Speaker 5 (01:02:33):
Six, hime GM Flowers with the eleven ten KPB three
day Weather Watch.

Speaker 7 (01:02:36):
We're looking at low clouds moving up out of Oklahoma.
Sorry today, Sorry, Jim Flowers. Sometimes it happens during a
news update where Gary's like looking at at what he's
going to do on the air, and he's pushing the
little buttons like I have here on my show, like
our little ding that's on a little button thing in here,
and sometimes you have to turn that on and off,

(01:02:59):
and sometimes you might forget to turn it off, or
you might hit it by accident.

Speaker 17 (01:03:02):
Full agenda for President Obama's first full day in the office.

Speaker 7 (01:03:10):
So during a report where they're talking about President Obama.
Gary hits the button of doctor Evil, saying, welcome to
my evil layer.

Speaker 8 (01:03:21):
Where was I that day? I would have loved to
have heard that live.

Speaker 7 (01:03:25):
Sometimes I'm hearing this stuff while driving in going oh no.
In fact, this next one, I debated whether I should
even play it, oh boy, which indicates which indicates to you,
I'm going to I assume that against my better judgment.

Speaker 6 (01:03:48):
So I don't.

Speaker 7 (01:03:51):
I don't know that Gary knew this was on the
air or what Terry Terry Lahy is doing a news
report in the morning that involves a guy getting shot.
So I'm not laughing. No one's laughing about that situation anyway.

(01:04:13):
Here's what listeners heard on our radio station during that report.
In twenty sixteen.

Speaker 22 (01:04:18):
Ball police make an arrest of connection with the shooting
from over the weekend habbit in South Omaha Orraremira shot.
You're thirty seventh on ours stream about early Sunday morning
and was taken to a hospital.

Speaker 7 (01:04:30):
So I don't Again, I don't know. That's the combination
of fat fingering something on the keyboard or on the
mouse clicker. Everything went off. That's why I'm going to
give Gary the benefit of the doubt. I don't think
he meant to do that, because there were two other
things that quickly fired on top of that. But what
we heard was Terry reporting on a shooting and then

(01:04:53):
after a couple of sounds that went off, there again
doctor Evil saying, ow you shot me, you a hole.

Speaker 8 (01:05:04):
And it also highlights the true professionalism of Terry. Lady
oh yeah, didn't miss a beat.

Speaker 7 (01:05:11):
That was not a recorded report, that was live. Terry
barreled through. This next segment features Terry prominently for a
while there we were doing something getting close to nine
o'clock called the celebrity who are these people? Birthday Reports?
Now you remember all of that?

Speaker 14 (01:05:31):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (01:05:31):
Yes, it was. They were fun. I don't know that
it was the greatest like radio that's ever happened, Like,
you know, who's this person? Oh well she was in Bananaama,
you know. I But listeners were playing along and trying
to guess who these people were, and and so it was.
It was kind of fun. I enjoyed being a part

(01:05:51):
of it. Tom Stanton, our former news guy here, he
would be a big part of it, and Gary would
try and stump Tom with all this stuff. Well, sometimes
Tom wasn't there, Terry would come in and sometimes we
just invite Terry to be a part of it as well.
This is one of our favorite moments.

Speaker 8 (01:06:07):
Oh boy.

Speaker 7 (01:06:08):
Sometimes Terry he'll uh because Terry has this great voice,
and at one point he said something about he was
laughing going these people, which over the years has been
drawn out to these people, so you hear a little
bit of that here. But we we've sometimes enjoyed the

(01:06:28):
way that Terry will emphasize a syllable. For example, who's
Jackie O's solo? She's with Banana Rama, oh, Shaban Fay.
He's the only one from Banana Raama.

Speaker 5 (01:06:39):
I know.

Speaker 22 (01:06:40):
Didn't they have some feud with Cindy Lauper or something?

Speaker 24 (01:06:44):
Well, she had she had Captain Leu Albano, as you know,
she was, she was the manager these people.

Speaker 23 (01:06:57):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:06:57):
I don't remember that Terry.

Speaker 7 (01:07:01):
Twenty twelve. Didn't they have a feud with Cindy Loower.
Every once in a while over the last thirteen years,
you might hear a reference to the singer who sang
girls just want to have Fun. And we will now
always pronounce her name is Cindy Lower. She stopped being
Cindy Lauper on that date in twenty twelve.

Speaker 8 (01:07:24):
Oh that's great.

Speaker 7 (01:07:25):
All right, back to a non mistake. This was on purpose.
This was nine years ago. Now, remember we're going to
do some of this again next year because Gary's still
going to have a part of this station for the
next year, so he can officially get to fifty years.
But this was nine years ago on his fortieth.

Speaker 1 (01:07:44):
Well, you know, when he got started, he was just
a guy that brought a stack of records into the
radio station every day and through a few of them
on and then by the end of the day he
was singing along. But then low about nineteen eighty when
the mister football himself said I don't need another guy,
put Gary on the sidelines. And then he became really
famous because he was doing Husker football in front of
a million people every single Saturday. They got to tell

(01:08:06):
us all about this guy. Coach Osborne, nice to have
you here.

Speaker 9 (01:08:10):
Well, thank you, Jim, Hey, coach, honest you guys.

Speaker 4 (01:08:13):
All Gary, good morning morning.

Speaker 12 (01:08:16):
You must be older than the heck I didn't.

Speaker 5 (01:08:18):
I thank you. Yes, I must be. You know what
I must be. I must be.

Speaker 12 (01:08:23):
You must come up with Marconi and Alexander Graham.

Speaker 18 (01:08:28):
He was wearing a leather helmet when he started playing.

Speaker 10 (01:08:31):
If that gives you any indication, I can believe that.

Speaker 4 (01:08:34):
Well.

Speaker 5 (01:08:34):
I remember when I got here. I said to Marconi.
I said, you don't kid, I think that's my work.

Speaker 7 (01:08:40):
Tom Osborne calling in to be a part of Gary's
tributes on his fortieth anniversary. He wasn't the only one
to do so that day.

Speaker 12 (01:08:48):
I'll be honest with you, I don't do a lot
of stuff at seven o five.

Speaker 5 (01:08:51):
Anybody, how big a deal you are, Well, now I'm
honored man, that that's good. Nothing going happens a seven
o five and morning, right, Larry.

Speaker 12 (01:09:01):
I didn't even do this for Dave Winger.

Speaker 5 (01:09:04):
Well, he hasn't gotten over that either.

Speaker 12 (01:09:08):
I have got something that I stayed up working on
just for Gary. So if you have a couple of minutes,
I'd love to do it.

Speaker 6 (01:09:17):
Please.

Speaker 12 (01:09:21):
I'm calling in today to owner one of Nebraska's most
successful and highly regarded men the city of Omaha has
ever known. But since Prosta is dead, Warren Buffett doesn't
do anything under one hundred watch oh settled for Gary

(01:09:41):
Saddle mar Gary has given us forty years of radio,
three of them actually entertaining. If you hear Gary on
radio for the first time, your first thought would probably be,
not what a great radio voice he has, would be

(01:10:01):
how dirty is this guy's carpet?

Speaker 7 (01:10:05):
When Gary was doing a lot of advertisements for zero
Rats and Larry the Cable Guy enjoyed that, he said,
you can spell that forwards and backwards. Get Larry the
Cable Guy was part of that as well. For Gary's
fortieth anniversary, today, we are honoring the non round number

(01:10:27):
of forty nine that happens to be Gary's final regularly
hosted radio show on this radio station. And we'll wrap
up our Sadlemeyer postgame show in two minutes. Scott, Lucy
Chapman here as well. And I've been playing some of
the stuff that I would hear when I'd go back
into the studio, and the thing that I'm not going

(01:10:49):
to be able to be treated to Gary just sitting
there by himself. The audio equipment's recording him, and he
just decides he's going to sit down and impersonate longtime Husker.
He was one of the information guys with the Husker program,
a guy named Don the Fat Fox Bryant.

Speaker 4 (01:11:10):
Hello, Scott, this is Don Bryant speaking to you from
the great Beyond. Garyus Adelmeyer says he has to record
a couple of thanks.

Speaker 5 (01:11:22):
I'm going to turn it over to him, all right,
thanks Fox, Yeah, Scott, I have eh, what's the matter
with me?

Speaker 7 (01:11:32):
That is one of my favorite things about Gary on
the air off the air. Just so much fun to
be around, an absolute delight, and we are really gonna
miss having him here every single day. The great thing
about Gary is when you're here for nearly five decades,
everything that we do is in many ways influenced by him.

(01:11:53):
And we'll get back after it on Monday when my
schedule shifts to six to ten. Right here, News Radio
eleven ten kfa B. Have a great weekend and thanks Gary,
