This is a Hot Bleepin' Show

Lots of eff-bombs in today's show, but not by me!  Plus, we revisit my fun conversation with Malcolm-Jamal Warner.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's hot. I don't know how this continues to happen.
It's like every summer it's hot, and not only hot,
dangerously hot. Now I could swing back around to another
one of these diatribes about climate change and how young

(00:23):
people are all depressed when it gets this hot because
we've instructed them. We've raised them to believe that when
it gets this hot during the summer, in theseitudinal zones
that tend to get hot during this time of year,
we have trained them to believe that this kind of

(00:43):
heat is unprecedented. We've never had heat like this before.
And people just drop dead or their heads explode like
match sticks, and they're depressed. They're depressed about the heat
because that's how we've raised them. Oh it's climate change,
man made climate changes made it hot today, and they're
all depressed. But instead, I want to go a different way.

(01:07):
As I saw the headline dangerous heat today and tomorrow,
severe weather days with the best potential for extreme heat. Well,
mountain dew made today's heat. It's extreme. Expect highs in
the upper nineties with a heat index value between one

(01:28):
hundred and five and one hundred ten degrees today and tomorrow.
Oh no, but you had in that humidity, well, that
would be the heat index value. So it's uh, Lucy
is extremely hot. Oh my goodness, Will we have to

(01:49):
go inside? Will nearly every single one of us have
to continue to leave our air conditioned house, get into
our air conditioned car, drive to work. For those of
us who still do that, walk a short distance outside
and do an air conditioned building where we have to

(02:11):
put on a jacket because at our workspace the air
conditioning is too cold. Lucy Chapman's wearing long sleeves today
because it's too cold over in her studio. I could
probably use a jacket in here. Is that what we're
gonna have to do with the extreme heat? But Scott,

(02:32):
what about the outside workers? They take breaks. Most of
them are labor union members. They have negotiated, slash strong
armed their way into a lot of breaks. I'm not
saying that these guys aren't out there working hard jobs.
These guys are doing road construction or working on buildings
or whatever. You don't see me out there doing it.

(02:54):
I don't have I don't have what you have, But
I'll tell you what else. I don't have a union
telling me, hey, you've worked for eight and a half minutes,
take a break. Obviously gross exaggeration. Thank you guys for
your service. But what about cops? So I hope cops
take care of themselves as far as like military firefighters,
they work in extreme conditions every single day, just because

(03:17):
it's Tuesday. But Scott, what about the people living on
the streets? Yes? What about the people living on the streets?
What about them? Are you talking about the ones that
we've been saying shouldn't be allowed to live on the streets.
Are you talking about the ones that we've been saying
shouldn't be allowed to camp out on public or certainly

(03:39):
private property, The ones who complain that the places who
want to make their lives better by saying, look, you
can come in here, we have air conditioning and food
and water, but you can't have booze or drugs, and
they're like, I'm out. The ones who costs, who like
cuss and yell at the cops or homeless shelter volunteers

(03:59):
or try to offer them a better opportunity, and when
we suggest they should be forcibly removed from the streets,
we get yelled at because we aren't compassionate. Are we
talking about those people. Yes, for some people, it's going
to be dangerously hot. The rest of us are going
into restaurants, movie theaters, workplaces going it's cold in here.

(04:24):
Tell me again how dangerous the heat is this week?
People die because of the heat. Yes, there will be
people today who just drop dead out in the heat.
There were also people a week ago when the temperatures
weren't as hot, who were just walking around doing their thing,

(04:45):
and they just dropped dead, didn't Jony Arnst tell us
we're all gonna die. I've done the work, I've done
the research on this. Turns out she's right. Dangerous heat.
Oh no, put a jacket on here at work because

(05:05):
it's freezing in here. Man. We find a bunch of
things to complain about, and thank goodness, because that's my job.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
You are full of sarcasm today, aren't you. I mean,
typically you are.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
But did you note sarcasm a little bit?

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah? But you know what, things were different back even
in the seventies. Yeah, even though there were people who
didn't have air conditioner. Air conditioning, Yeah that there weren't
people living on the streets. A few, but nothing like
what you're seeing today.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
No, because we allow it today. We just we allow
it and so it happens. I have now stories. This
is going to be really exciting. People are going to
be super thrilled about this. There are two elected boards
who have board meetings tonight, and I'm going to tell

(05:58):
you what they're doing at these board meetings. Aren't you excited?

Speaker 2 (06:03):
I'm a little boared.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Oh yes, I'm excited. What is it?

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Who is it?

Speaker 1 (06:11):
All right?

Speaker 2 (06:11):
What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (06:12):
This would be an excellent opportunity for me to say,
and I'll tell you next. I'll do that for one
of them. But I'm going to give you the first story.
The second story has to do with the Omaha City
Council and the idea that they need to commemorate They
need a new commemorative name for a street. I tell
you who might get a street named after them. That's

(06:33):
coming up. But right now, this first one has to
do with the Metropolitan Community College Board of Governors. It's
a very big title for a very unimportant board. Hey
it's a metro I know, Yeah, the MCC Metro Community
College is super important. Here's here's what you need to

(06:57):
do as the board of governors. You show up for
your I don't know if they meet every week. I
don't know if they meet every month. I don't know
if they meet every day. Here's what you do if
you're on the board of governors. Not just a board,
not the board of education, not the Metro board. It's
the board of governors. Are you a governor? Well, not

(07:19):
like governor Pilling's a governor, but yeah, I'm a governor.
Here's what you do at your meeting. All right, guys,
The issue before us is should we continue to make
reasonably priced education, good education at a very good price
for a great number of people here throughout the area.
I say we do. I don't want to shut up.

(07:40):
You always say that. All those in favor of continuing
to do a good job of making reasonably priced, strong
education for people who want it, say I anyone to
pose nay, shut up, Randall And then they adjourn and
go eat some food. How hard is it to be
on the Metro Community College Board of governors?

Speaker 2 (08:03):
And yet they're making the news. They're making this guy
for his show.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Because there's one member of the board who is probably
going to be censured tonight. I don't know what the
process is for removing a board member, but they have
asked him. Some people have asked him, and a lot
of people in the community have asked him just to
resign tonight. That would be District three Representative Adam GOTTSHAWL. Now.

(08:31):
The first strike against Adam is he seemingly tends to
lean more conservative, and what I've seen from Facebook posts
and so forth, I don't think I know this guy.
My apologize if he's listening, going, I thought we were friends.
The name's familiar, his face somewhat familiar. I've probably seen

(08:56):
him at this and that and things over the years,
but he's on the radar now. The board resolution calls
for him to be censured for quote, comments and conduct
that are unbecoming of an elected member of this board,
and which are embarrassing and potentially damaging to the reputation

(09:16):
of this board, the college and college administration. Unquote, Oh
my gosh, what do he do? Get caught on the
cold Play kiss cam?

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Ha.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
There's a reference that has a very short shelf life,
and I'm going to abuse it several months from now.
I want to make that reference and everyone's just going
to stare at the radio going, I don't I don't
know what he's talking about No, he was not in
the cold Play kiss cam. A reporter for KMTV three
managed to get him on the phone and said, hey,

(09:47):
what happened here? He says, well, it was a personal
matter between myself and an activist. It was nothing I
did in an official capacity as a member of the
Metro Community College Board, and so there for it has
nothing to do with the board. Okay, what did he do?
Some guy named Evan seemingly here on I don't It

(10:14):
looks to be a Facebook post, but I'm not one
hundred percent sure. This is a screenshot that's been going
around on Facebook. But I'm not connected to these guys.
I don't know if it was in a private group
or what. But now we all see it. So this
guy Evan posts a picture from I presume the other

(10:35):
day's gay Pride parade, which was what last Saturday Saturday before.
I guess it was a couple saturdays ago. And this
guy is wearing a shirt that says I'm a proud
Oma sexual. At least I think that's what the shirt says,

(10:58):
because I got the shirt on the Now this guy,
So this guy's wearing a shirt it looks like it
says I'm a proud homosexual and it's got a little
star of where Omaha is and the map in Nebraska.
I don't know what an omosexual is. I love this town,
but I don't think I'm ready to take our relationship

(11:19):
to that level. I mean, I'm let's have a conversation.
But I So this guy is there and he's standing
next to this woman, and I I want to say
I recognize her, I know her, but I can't. I
can't tell who that is but she they're standing there

(11:43):
and they're holding a license plate. They're the ones who
got the Nebraska license plate eighty six forty seven FDT. Now,
I don't know if this is on I've seen this
pop up on social media. I don't know if someone
actually has this license plate, if it's on tour people

(12:04):
are just posing for pictures with it, or if these
are the people who got it, or maybe it's just
a commemorative fake license plate that you can, you know,
have and hang on your wall or whatever.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Those fake newspapers.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yeah, something like that, We landed on the moon, And
there's your nineties movie reference for this segment of the
radio program That's Dumb and Dumber. So in case you're
not familiar the license plate eighty six forty seven that,
thanks to James Comy we know means dump forty seven

(12:38):
the forty seventh president, Donald Trump, whose initials are DT.
There's an F before the DT. Oh, so eighty six
forty seven get rid of Trump and in case you
don't know where they're coming from, they would like you
to forget Donald Trump, shall we say?

Speaker 4 (12:56):
So?

Speaker 1 (12:56):
They're standing there proudly holding this license plate. Some people
take the eighty six as not just dump, but get
rid of by any means necessary. Some people have decided
that this is a call for assassination of the president
of the United States. Be that as it may. No

(13:19):
one seems to be too upset at that. They're not
members of the metro board. So they're standing there and
they're holding this at the Pride parade. One guy says, well,
I don't know what the reference is there, but the
guy who posted it has got a picture of this

(13:40):
guy and says, dude's gayer than Elton John's handbag. Now,
as one of the biggest Elton John fans that you'll
ever meet, I guess it's incumbent upon me to render
an assessment as to how gay Elton John's handbag may

(14:02):
or may not be. I can tell you this, I
have not seen Elton John carry a handbag. I've never seen.
He's got assistance that do that. One guy's name is Bob.
He's been his assistant for a long time. He's probably
the carrier of the handbag. Elton John, I've never seen
him carry a handbag. I've seen a lot of images

(14:24):
of him walking around. He might have a diet coke,
but I've never seen him carry a handbag. So I
can't render an assessment as to how gay or not gay.
I may be his handbag is straight. Not everyone in
Elton's band is gay because Elton's gay. The guy who
writes the words for Elton John isn't gay, you know.

(14:46):
So there's a lot of things in the Elton John
sphere that are not gay. The handbag may or may
not be one of them. But even if the handbag's gay,
that's fine. There. I've rendered an assessment as a big
Elton John fan. By the way, the Rainbow Theater concert
is gonna be released on vinyl CD in digital this Friday.
It's maybe the best his voice has ever been in concert.

(15:07):
It's an incredible playlist. You got Cage the song Bird
on there. I feel like a bullet in the gun
of Robert Ford. I mean, we go deep cuts in
this and it's gonna be released on Friday. I can't wait.
The handbag, I don't know. So the guy posts a picture.
He says, dude's gayer than Elton John's handbag. Now the

(15:27):
afore mentioned member of the Metro Community College Board of Governors,
Adam Gottshall, needs to weigh in, and he's talking about
the blonde woman in this picture, and he says, maybe
that's why she's crazy. She's never been blanked properly. Only

(15:52):
he didn't say fudge. There's your eighties movie reference for
this segment of the radio program Christmas Store. Yeah, he
spelled it up. Huh. So I don't know. I don't
know these people are because in the image I have
of it, the guy's face is cut off. I recognize her,
but I don't know where she's got sunglasses on it on.
So I don't know if they're a couple or whatever.

(16:15):
But it seems to me the assessment is we have
here an ostensibly straight couple. One of the guys says
that guy's gay, and Adam on the Metro board says,
maybe that's why she's crazy because he's not satisfying her
in the bedroom.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Who heard him say it?

Speaker 1 (16:36):
No one, it's been posted. It was posted on Facebook.
But like I said, I don't know how public all
this is. But someone screenshoted. They got it and now
it's everywhere, and the outraged mob on social media is,
as is their way, outraged. They want him removed from
this board. I don't know what it takes to remove

(16:58):
a member of the board, so right now, I guess
tonight and it started to six thirty board meeting at
the fort Omaha Metro Community College campus, they're going to
call for him to be censured, which is a way
of saying, hey, what you said. I don't like what
you said. All right, thanks for letting me know, and
now can we get about the rest of the business

(17:19):
of the board. But there are a number of people
said I'm showing up at that board meeting, so it
could be pretty ugly tonight at the fort Omaha campus
Metro Community College for their six thirty meeting. Now, as
far as removing him, the best I've heard is that
they've asked him to immediately resign his position on the board.

(17:42):
I don't know this guy. I see some of the
other names associated with him on social media. They're not
the shrinking flower type. He might dig in and decide
to like, hey, you want to get me off this board,
remove me? Or maybe he's the kind of guy who's

(18:02):
like this is embarrassing. I wanted to be an elected
representative to serve the people. This is a distraction. I
don't need it. I'm out. I don't know. I guess
we find out tonight, because as of right now, to
my knowledge, he has not resigned. Ahead. If he's gonna resign,
I imagine he would do that today and say, just

(18:23):
have your board meeting. No reason to to busy yourself
with all of this nonsense. Now, I don't know. I
don't know if the couple in the picture are going
to be there to talk about whether or not he's right.
This could be an interesting board meeting, That's all I'm saying. Now.

(18:45):
That's going on tonight at six thirty. Now, Also tonight
we've got the Omaha City Council meeting rather interesting thing
on their agenda tonight as well. I'll tell you what.

Speaker 5 (18:55):
Next Scott Voices News Radio eleven ten.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Baby. As far as the dangerous heat we discussed earlier,
Dear Scott, duh, it's hot because of Trump. Signed Karen
Whitey mcmiddle, aged liberal white woman face ps. Back when
I was a man, I used to date a woman
named testostenor what all right? Thank you for the email.
That's when it says testostenor dangerous heat. Dave says the

(19:23):
heat was lurking in a dark corner, came at me quickly,
said it would kill me if I didn't give up
my wallet, my cell phone. That is some dangerous heat.
Tonight at the Omaha City Council meeting, there is a
resolution that has been submitted. The application was submitted by
Viv Ewing. I love Viviewing. Who's viv Viv who is

(19:48):
the convivial Vivewing. She is the first Lady of the
City of Omaha. She is Mayor John Ewing's wife, and
she has submitted an application and it will be discussed
this evening. It's a rest that would approve the placement
of a street sign on Lothrop Street from twenty second
to twenty fourth a commemorative street name to be called

(20:12):
this section of Lothrop Where's Lothrop Street?

Speaker 2 (20:19):
There's a school on it?

Speaker 1 (20:21):
Is it Lowthrop School?

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Yep?

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Well it was back in Lowthrop Elementary. Yeah, I guess
this is around Lothrop Elementary. It's just north of Maple
northeast Omaha. Looks like this area here from twenty second
to twenty fourth Street would be just east of seventy
five Highway. So this little area of Lothrop Street twenty

(20:45):
second to twenty fourth would if this were to be
voted in the affirmative here too, foth be known commemoratively
as John w Ewing Junior Street. He's been mayor for
a few weeks. It's going to get a street named

(21:07):
after him. Does he also get a Nobel Peace Prize? Okay,
that's remember President Obama before he even before he even
did anything nothing like this is going to be the
greatest president of all time. Let's give him a Nobel
Peace Prize for things that we expect he's going to do.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Now, hold on, hold on.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Look back at his presidency. What did he do that
would actually make him deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize?
Discuss amongst yourselves, what what is.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
The reason that she has behind this.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
This is I imagine this is where he grew up.
And I don't see the entire application. I just see
that it's on the council agenda tonight. The resolution approves
the placement of a commemorative street sign on Lothrop Street
from twenty second Street to twenty fourth Street, be called
John W. Ewing Junior Street. The Planning Department has received

(22:04):
the application from doctor viv Ewing for the placement of
a commemorative street sign on Lothrop Street from Okay, so
I presume it's because he's the mayor, as an important position,
not a lot of people get to be mayor, and
therefore he should have. It's technically not a street named
after him. It's the brown sign. Whereas the street signs

(22:27):
in Omaha are generally that green with the reflective on there,
and then sometimes on some you've got like a brown
designation on the sign there basically says, hey, this section
of this street is known as and then you know
someone's name. They don't actually rename the street, meaning if
you live at twenty third and Lothrop, you don't have

(22:49):
to change all of your letterhead. Your address does not
change you still live at twenty third and Lothrop, but
commemoratively it's John w Ewing Junior Street.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Well, frankly, I think that if the reason behind this
is because he is Omaha's first black mayor, I'm fine
with changing an actual street, actually changing the name to
I mean, that's that's a big deal. But we're just,
you know, a week a month into this, so the
timing is a little weird.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
He could be a terrible mayor. He could be. I
don't think he's gonna be, but he could be. He
could be an absolutely terrible mayor. I guess we had
to take the street side down, don't I don't know.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Well, that's my point about the timing.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Sure, I don't know if it's because he is Omaha's
first black mayor as to why we need to name
the street. But if we're gonna do that, you would
think that maybe Omaha's first openly female mayor would have
a street named after her. Lucy, you're the traffic director
around here. Where is Jeene Stothart Way? I hit the

(23:57):
wrong button.

Speaker 4 (23:59):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Science is right above crickets in my thing there, Yeah,
there there is. There's a Jean Stothard Way.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Oh, yes there is.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
There is no street names after Mayor Jean Stothard are
twelve year mayor of Omaha, first openly female mayor in
Omaha's history. No street.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
We need to start a petition. She deserves the street
and he does too for those two things. First female mayor,
first black mayor.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Why not. Yeah, we're gonna We're gonna name the street
car after Scott Goes. Thank you too, among others, Angela
for letting me know why I recognize the woman in
this picture that's got a member of the Metro Community
College Board of Governors in trouble to recap in case
you missed this earlier in the program. Tonight six thirty

(24:56):
pm at the Fort Omaha Metro Campus, there is a
board meeting of the Metro Community College Board of Governors
to expel one of these governors from the board. I
don't know if they can do that right now. The
official resolution calls for Adam Gotschaal to be censured for

(25:16):
comments and conduct that are unbecoming of an elected member
of this board and which are embarrassing and potentially damaging
to the reputation of this Board, the college and College administration.
Oh my gosh, what did he do? Because they're not
talking about removing him from the board tonight. They're talking
about censuring him. Though there are board members who have

(25:41):
called on him to immediately resign from his position on
the board, it doesn't sound like he's going to. Here's
what happened at the recent Gay Gay Pride parade. There
was a woman pictured holding a license plate that says
eighty six forty seven FDT, which we presume to mean

(26:03):
dump the forty seventh president eighty six. Some people have
taken that to mean eliminate by any means necessary eighty
six forty seven forty seventh president. And then FDT is
I don't know, forget Joe Biden or whatever. Oh wait,
that was the last president, which now raises the question

(26:25):
of who's really offended by what? Anymore? Are there people
who were posting FJB who are now saying, I can't
believe that she's allowed to say FDT that stands for
forget Donald Trump, by the way, so eliminate forty seven
forget Donald Trump. And she's holding a Nebraska license plate
that says this on the plate, and that's when Adam

(26:50):
Gottschall posts on there. Maybe that's because she's standing next
to a guy. One of the other people on this
social media string has suggested that that guy is not
only gay, but quote gayer than Elton John's handbag unquote.

(27:11):
So he says. Adam Gotschall, member of the metro board, says,
maybe that's why she's crazy. She's never been I'll change
the aphrasing here to she's never been intimately satisfied in
a proper way. He was more profane in his questioning,

(27:35):
so he says, maybe that's why she's crazy, she's never
had you know, you know, we know what we're all right,
So here we have someone who's either making fun of
both people in this picture or genuinely concerned as to
whether her life is satisfactory. I don't know. I don't

(27:56):
know these people. Now, I did say, why do I
reckon this woman who he's calling crazy and suggesting, you know,
a few people, including Angela, pointed out that this is
a prominent member of the leftist community here of Omaha.

(28:17):
Her name's Jamie. I'm like, oh, I recognize this name.
I guess I've seen stuff with her and she is
just looking at her social media page seemingly the last
person who's going to be offended by some randy and

(28:38):
profane language, because her Facebook page is full of it,
absolutely full of it directed at Trump and his supporters,
with the profane language I can't use on the radio,
directing directed at immigration action, direct did at people who

(29:02):
maybe want some age appropriate lgbt Q training and activities
and schools. If anyone's like, I don't know why little
kids need to. She's got a lot of profane thoughts
for you. And there's even one picture of her where
she is showing off her chest. And I say that
because her shirt says that she is the mayor of Boy,

(29:27):
she's the mayor of a city. The city name rhymes
with city and it has to do with the chestel
protrusions that she's so she's the mayor of that city.
So I mean for someone to say, you know, to
make allusions to things of a sexual nature or to
use such language, seems like she's the last person who's

(29:49):
going to be genuinely offended by this. But boy, is
she acting like she is, Oh oh yeah. And she
even posted something that suggests that that by by his
comment there that he is he is standing up for
violence against women. He's an activist in favor of violence

(30:14):
against women. Please explain, well, I presume that to mean
that she thinks that he is so concerned, whether she's
been satisfied intimately, that people just need to line up
by any means necessary and get that done, which would
be an assault, which would be violence against women. So

(30:34):
she's suggesting that that's what he's advocating. There's the word
I was looking for, that he's advocating violence against women.
So she is certainly playing the victim card here. Now. Look,
I've had people post things on about me on social media,
with my picture, with my name. They've posted all kinds

(30:58):
of things about me. I've had people email and Maile
mail to the radio station, not just less than flattering things,
but things that could be reasonably taken as a threat.
So I do know what it's like to have people

(31:21):
make comments that you don't like. I do know what
that's like, and I can tell you. I mean, I
could sit here and say like, oh, I got a
thick skin, don't worry any it comes with the territory
and all that. I'll tell you, Honestly, I don't like it.
It bothers me sometimes for several hours, sometimes for a
few days. It really bothers me, and I wonder what

(31:43):
I should do, and ultimately I sleep on it and
I decide just to let it go and move on.
But I also fantasize about what happens if I meet
this guy on the street, and I fantasize about how
that might go, and I a smile comes over my
face as I think about holding certain people's heads underwater.

(32:07):
But you know that, Hey, that's I'm not actually I'm
not looking for anyone. I'm not gonna do it. I
just in case. I do carry a bucket of water
around with me anywhere I go. That's why, that's that's
why that happens. You know, you never you'd hate to
miss that opportunity to have someone have their head dune
to underwater so long that the life runs out of

(32:29):
their body by your hand. As it's at a satisfaction
comes over to you that you didn't know that you
could possess, and now you're bloodthirsty and you're looking for
more victims. You never know when that opportunity might present itself,
and I don't want to miss it. So that's why
I carry a big bucket of water with me anyplace
I go. So what was my point there? Oh? Yeah,
I want to murder and I know what it's like

(32:52):
to have people make ugly comments about you in some
cases where other people can see it, and I don't
like it. So yeah, does she go on her social
media pages and dish it out quite a bit? Yes?
She does. Does it seem like, oh, she doesn't want

(33:12):
to take what she dishes out? Yes it does. Do
I imagine that even though she is super in your
face with her opinions about politics, this or LGBTQ that,
Does that mean that she is so thick skinned about
this that this kind of comment doesn't bother her? The
attention about all this doesn't bother her? I imagine it does.

(33:34):
She can act tough and all that, but I imagine
this does bother her. Now she's going to act like
it doesn't, which I get, but I imagine it does, which
then goes back to why did this guy feel like
he needed to say that, especially if this is on
social media where other people can see it, even if
it's just your friend. I mean, guys get together and

(34:01):
they think no one can hear them or see what
they're saying, and this is pretty tame compared to what
some of that looks like. I admit that. But if
this is something that he thinks other people can see,
why in the world would he say that. Why would
he feel the need to say that because he thinks
it's funny. He thinks it's Hey, this is a controversial

(34:23):
thing to say. Hey, let's see you, let's see if
this gets back to see how she likes it is why.
I don't know why he felt like he needed to
do this. I hope he doesn't resign today because I'd
like to hear what he has to say in his
own defense tonight at this board meeting. We'll see how
that goes, and we'll talk about it tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (34:45):
Scott boorhes where you're going? News Radio eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
Number of people have emailed in the Zonker's custom was
inbox with sentiment similar to Rod saying, all right, So
this woman who's at the center of the controversy involving
a member of the Metro board who had some questions
as to whether or not she's ever been satisfied by
her man m says, so she calls for the murder

(35:10):
of Trump. With that eighty six forty seven license plate
and she's offended. Yeah, And on her social media page,
there is a local, a Republican, someone who's an outspoken
member of the conservative movement here around town, who was
talking to Tom Holman recently, thanking him for the ice

(35:33):
operations in Omaha. She posted that video and said, she
really is a stupid B word. And then there's pictures
of her and I don't know if this is her
kid or a little kid is flipping off the camera.
What I'm saying is I don't think she's as offended
by the language or sentiment as she pretends to be.

(35:53):
Maybe if we all lower that temperature a bit, we
won't have stuff like this that people are so want
to say. Fox and KFAB news updates next, your next
shout at one thousand bucks coming up at ten oh five.
I had a great conversation years ago with someone who
was tragically in the news yesterday. You'll hear that next.

(36:15):
How are you feeling today? By the way, Lucy was
sick at the end of last week. She was playing
hurt yesterday and she's coughing in an exaggerated fashion into
the microphone now, And well, that's why in radio. We
got a button that says cough. When you push the button,
it makes you cough. It's the cough button.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
Oh it makes you Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Some people think if it mutes the microphones and you
so you can cough, but that's not been my experience.
I hit the button and I cough, okay, And there's
a guy in here asked me to turn my head
while I do so.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Oh my god. But that's you know you've got You've
got kids.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
This is doctors, medicines, the various doctors and science. Are
you feeling better today?

Speaker 2 (36:58):
I'm feeling better every day good. Just like the Chicago song.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Chause, can I tell you something?

Speaker 2 (37:05):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
I'm going to tell you this, and you're not gonna
like it. We take you for granted on this radio station,
and our radio station is so much better when you're
a part of it.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
So I'm glad that you're feeling better.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
So I have these little planned, very strategically planned days
off throughout the year just every once in a while.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
That's fine. No, I know, and I'm not saying like
so you can never take time off. That's that's a
dangerous trap to fall into.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
Well, thank you, in all sincerity. That makes me feel nice.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
Yeah, well you should. You do a great job. I
don't even have a snarky punchline to this, and part
I do partly because I was. I was genuinely upset
yesterday when we got the news that Malcolm Jamal Warner
had passed away.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Oh I hadn't heard that.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
You hadn't.

Speaker 4 (38:00):
No.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
Malcolm Jamal Warner best known as theo Huxtable from The
Cosby Show. Oh my gosh, how do I not have
one of the greatest clips?

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Well, while you're looking for that. He was also known
more recently for the Resident, which was a absolutely great
role that he played. He played it fabulously. The storyline
is a bit ridiculous, most of it, but he played
his part fabulously. I stayed to watch the whole series

(38:33):
just because of him.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
There is here. I'm going to play the entire clip here.
It's about two minutes long. This was Now. I know
we're not allowed anymore to talk about The Cosby Show
and Bill Cosby and all the rest of it, But
the fact of the matter is it was one of
the greatest shows in television history. Here let me I

(39:04):
got it in one ear. Here so there. I'm trying
to remember exactly what the scene was here, But the
The Cosby Show, just in case you're of a certain age,
younger or older and you didn't really get into it,
this was uh black family, and a lot of people said, well,
this is the first time that a you know, an

(39:25):
upper middle class family was ever shown on TV. Now,
you might say, what about the Jeffersons. Yeah, but the
Jeffersons ascended to that uh that de luxe apartment in
the sky. This was a family that uh they were
uh you know, he was a doctor, she is a lawyer.
The kids live in a nice neighborhood. And there really

(39:48):
wasn't a whole lot about the show that had to
do with the you know, like, hey, you know, we're
I don't know if you guys know this, but we're black,
and here's I mean. It was it's just like life
in his family life. Now. That said, there were enough
little parts of the show that I recognize as being

(40:10):
different from my culture growing up watching this, Like when
the family would all get together and they put the
record on and it would be you know, some jazz
or some blues or Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles and
they're all kind of dancing around and singing. I love that.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
I would think that would be the one thing you
could have related to, because didn't you have that growing up?

Speaker 1 (40:32):
No, my dad. My dad would occasionally play music there
in our home, live music. He was very, very good
and still is good at the guitar, but for a
long time there he was incredibly proficient at the banjo.
And so yeah, we would be hanging out there, would
have some dinner, and then next thing, you know, Deliverance

(40:53):
would break out. And I loved it to this day.
I love bluegrass music. So yeah, it was not like
let's put on the nighttime is the Right Time by
Ray Charles and break into a video of the song,
which is another great moment from the Cosby Show. I
just I thought the dynamic from a parenting standpoint and

(41:16):
the kid's standpoint was just great and this might be
one of the best moments in TV history. Again, I
don't remember what the deal was, but THEO wanted to
do something. He is the only son of doctor Cliff Huxtable,
and he wouldn't and his parents wouldn't let him do it,

(41:37):
and so THEO decided that his ripe old age at
twelve or thirteen whatever he was, that he was going
to stand up to his father.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
Dad. I thought about what you said, and I see
a point.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
Thank you, thank.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
You, But I have a point too.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
Make your point.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
You're a doctor and mom's lawyer's with everything, and that's great.
Maybe I was born to be a regular person and
have a regular life. If you want a doctor, I
wouldn't love you less because you're my dad.

Speaker 4 (42:14):
And so.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
Instead of acting disappointed because I'm not like you, maybe
you can just accept who I am and love me
anyway because I'm your son.

Speaker 4 (42:39):
THEO.

Speaker 5 (42:41):
That's the dumbest thing.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
I've never heard in my life. No wonder you get
d's and everything.

Speaker 5 (42:51):
Now you are afraid to try because you're afraid that
your brain is going to explode and.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
It's going to ooze out of your ear.

Speaker 4 (43:01):
I'm telling you you are going to try as hard
as you can, and you're gonna do it because I
said so, I am your father.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
I brought you in this world, and I'll take you out.
That is one of the greatest scenes ever in TV
history because for a lot of people before and since,
it was oh the parents, the kids are smarter than
the parents. We got to get young people to watch
this show. And so therefore the kids have to be

(43:31):
smarter than the parents. They have to be precocious, and
they got to be a little uppity, they got to
be a little smart mouth, and they never get called down.
They never get called down. And so here's THEO saying like,
all right, so I'm not doing that great in school.
Wh you don't have to judge me. How about you
just love me for who I am? THEO. That is
the dumbest thing I have heard in my entire life.

(43:56):
The dad doing some dadding right there, some parenting, calling
down the kid and expecting better.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
I love the audience applauding, oh.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
Yeah, oh yeah, because the audience didn't see that coming.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
He probably had an applause sign. Come on though.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
No, no, THEO did that great speech, and the audience
probably thought because they were conditioned to think, like, oh,
this is where THEO stands up for himself and his
dad says, son, I'm proud of you. You're right, I
need to love you for who you are, and they
just thought like, all right, here's this great emotional moment
where THEO becomes a man and Doctor Huxtable starts taking

(44:34):
him down peg after peg, and the audience loved it
even more because that's exactly right. It's not about the outcome. Sometimes.
You know, as a parent, whether your kid is putting
in his or her best effort. Now, if you know
your kid's doing the absolute best they can and that

(44:54):
earns them this grade, whether it's an A or a D,
you know they're their best effort out there. You're proud
of that effort. You celebrate the effort, not the achievement. Hey,
you got this grade even working really hard, and I've
seen you put in the work. Proud of you. But

(45:16):
if they're just skating by and just pardon the language,
just you know, pinching off c's and d's and you
know they can do better, that's when you got a
light of fire. And that's what that whole thing is about.
And it was absolutely great, and we talked about learning
how to be a parent. When Malcolm Jamal Warner, who

(45:38):
I kind of glossed over this but in case you
hadn't heard as well, and Lucy hadn't heard, he died.
It was announced yesterday he died. He was on vacation
in Costa Rica with his family and as I understand
it a tiede I don't know, a rip tide or whatever,
but a strong current suddenly caught him. He got caught
in a strong current and he oh, no, well on

(46:01):
vacation with his family. It's a drowning death from Malcolm
Jamal Warner at the age of fifty four. Now, certainly
the Cosby Show is the Huxtable whoever forever be known?
You said you liked him and what.

Speaker 2 (46:14):
Were you said?

Speaker 1 (46:16):
The resident He was also in what I thought to
be a really good show. I didn't watch a lot
of it, but I will go back and do it.
But the reboot of The Wonder Years with the part
played by Kevin Arnold or that was the character Fred
Savage character Kevin Arnold the reboot a few years ago
was a black kid, a black family, and that was

(46:38):
how they rebooted it, and I thought it was brilliant.
In case you don't know, the one episode I did
see was he was like the only black kid in
the class and he realized that all of his teachers
and everyone was being really nice to him. After doctor
Martin Luther King was assassinated, so he took it as hey,
I can get away with anything. Right now and just

(46:59):
play the doctor King Cart and I'm like, I can't
believe they're putting this on TV. This is hilarious. But
the dad was Malcolm Jamal Warner. He was also on
Grown Ish Community, one of my favorite shows, and we
talked to him on this show years ago. As it

(47:19):
turns out, on his birthday August fifteenth. This is back
from twenty eleven. We had Malcolm Jamal Warner on here
on his birthday? Am I right in saying that he
was fifty four that he would have been turning? I
guess forty one?

Speaker 4 (47:39):
Hey, thank you, Scott. I appreciate that. Man.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
What are you doing today on your birthday?

Speaker 4 (47:43):
I'm actually I'm working, working. I'm doing a new show
with Tracy Ellis Ross called in Between the Lines. It's
new family sitcom and I'm actually I'm directing, uh this
week's episode. I'm doing double duty today.

Speaker 1 (48:04):
You can't take the day off of your birthday, have
someone else do it.

Speaker 4 (48:07):
No, No, I'm gonna I'll celebrate over the weekend.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
Between the lines. Tell me about this show, Well, it's reading.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
Between the lines. Ellis and I our husband and wife.
We're both doctors. She's a psychologist, and I play an
n y U English professor who teaches online so I
can stay home with our three kids.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
And the kids are they are they nice kids? Are
they driving you crazy all day?

Speaker 4 (48:38):
Well, you know they're teenagers, so they drive.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
Me crazy all day and hilarity ensues and hilarity insues.

Speaker 4 (48:45):
But it's you know, the show is a really good show,
and we're all excited because it's a you know, this
is the show that you know, we've been saying we
need on television. It's a show about you know, family,
it's a pot show about you know, positive family values
and family love. You know. Someone described it as the

(49:08):
Cosbys in the digital ads.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
Now taking over the dad role. This is you know,
for someone who grew up on television as you did
before all of our eyes, what's it like to take
on the dad role in this scenario.

Speaker 4 (49:21):
Yeah, let me tell you, man, it's quite surreal because
when we first started we started Cosby, I was fourteen
and Naji Jeter, who plays my son, is fourteen, So
it's kind of, you know, kind of surreal that you know,
there's somebody calling me dad this time.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
Man. That is that is very cool. Congratulations on the show,
Read Between the Lines. This is on beet When does
it air?

Speaker 4 (49:45):
Airs October eleventh, Okay on Tuesdays at ten and ten thirty.

Speaker 1 (49:49):
All right, Read between the Lines starring Malcolm Jamal Warner.
Here is your obligatory Cosby show question. Since you grew
up on television, you're fourteen years old when you started,
what was the what was the behind the scenes like
when you or some of the other Cosby kids would
have birthdays, was it a big deal? Would people stop
and do a little birthday party for you? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (50:09):
I think that's kind of what everybody does. It's like,
you know, you know, in a civilized birthday, you know,
maybe over lunch or at the end of the day. Uh,
you know, somebody brings out a cake. Everybody seems happy birthday.
It's kind of funny because you kind of you go
into work knowing it's gonna happen. You just never know.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
When did you check with mister Cosby to get his
advice as you were taking on your role and read
between the lines?

Speaker 4 (50:31):
Yeah, I mean I I pretty much talked to him,
uh fairly regularly anyway. And you know, he's oftentimes my
go to person or my guru. If you will when
i'm you know, dealing you know, in film television as
an actor and from a producer standpoint.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
He's a good man.

Speaker 4 (50:53):
He was, He's a he's a good dude man.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
He was on my radio show for two hours a
couple of years ago. If you think about it, tell
them Scott and Omaha says high he's one of the greatest.
As are you, Malcolm Jamal Warner? Thanks so much for
popping on the show this morning. I know you're busy.
I'll cut you loose. Have a happy birthday, and we'll
look forward to seeing read between the lines. Thank you,
as Malcolm Jamal Warner from his birthday August fifteenth, two
thousand and eleven. On this I didn't realize it was

(51:20):
that long ago, but it was that long ago. And yes,
I did just tell him at the end of that
show that mister Cosby's a great man. Here's what I've
always said about mister Cosby. If you don't know the
history on this program.

Speaker 4 (51:34):
I.

Speaker 1 (51:36):
Can't believe it. When I get a chance to tell
the story, here's the short, short, short version. There was
something that happened on this radio station that caused people
to get mad at the station from a North Omaha
leadership standpoint. So I was brand new on this station.
This was going on, This was almost nineteen years ago.
I was brand new on the station. So I reached

(51:56):
out to the state senator and the city council member
for Northeast Omaha, try and start mending some fences, build
some bridges. Ernie Chambers hung up on me. Frank Brown
never called me back, So I thought, all right. Bill
Cosby has been speaking out about how there are a
number of civil rights icons who fought and died and

(52:21):
there are young black people who are not taking advantage
of their efforts. Maybe it's not the short, shorte wort version.
He was getting a lot of blowback for saying that,
for suggesting that people need to do better because you're
standing on the shoulders of greats, and when you decide
to go into a life of crime and flout this

(52:44):
educational opportunity that so many people fought so hard for
you to get and you don't take advantage of it,
and you're walking around proud of how uneducated and violent
you are, that is the wrong thing to do. Bill
Cosby said that and got a ton of people who
hated him for it. So I couldn't get the elected
representatives from northeast Omaha on my show. So I reached

(53:06):
out to mister Cosby. And I'm sitting out on in
my yard here one evening years ago and my cell
phone rings. I don't recognize the number, but I answered
it and said, Hi, this is Scott Scott. It's Bill Cosby.
And he came on the program a couple of times
and I had a chance to talk to him several times.

(53:28):
He would just call me and I could just call him,
and it was special. Now, since that point, there are
a number of people who have made a lot of
accusations against Bill Cosby. Here's what I say about that.
I am just so sorry that there are people who

(53:48):
don't feel like they had a great experience in having
a relationship with Bill Cosby like I did, like Malcolm
Jamal Warner did. We talked to Keshia Knight Pulliam Rudy
from the show on this program years ago. She says
the same thing, They love that man Bill Cosby is

(54:09):
remembering his son from the show, Malcolm Jamal Warner, after
he passed away yesterday at the age of fifty four
in the drowning accident in Costa Rica. Cosby says, quote,
he was always a great studier and I enjoyed working
with him very much. He was very professional. He always
knew his part, he always knew his lines, and he
knew he always knew where to go. And he noted that, yeah,

(54:32):
he and I stayed in touch for years after the sitcoms.
Only eight seasons of The Cosby Show were over, and
he noted that he did hold Malcolm Jamal Warner pretty
close to him in personal life because he was his
only son in a show. Bill Cosby only had a son,

(54:54):
had one son among his children in real life, and
that was his son Ennis, who was killed in nineteen
ninety seven. So now Bill Cosby has to he not
only had to prematurely bury his real son, but now
his TV's son. So yeah, Bill Cosby's broken up, as
are many of us.

Speaker 5 (55:15):
Scott Fords News Radio eleven ten k.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
FA Hunter Biden granted an interview yesterday. This is gonna
be maybe the dirtiest radio show in history. Let's take
a look at all of the things in the news
that we've talked about today that have f bombs in him.

(55:40):
And I was thinking about that as I was playing
that clip from The Cosby Show, I didn't have to
worry like is there any foul language or any adult
themes in this clip? It was nice. It was a
nice departure. If I were to play something from one
of today's sitcoms, I don't know that i'd be able
to play it.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
Well, it's on TV.

Speaker 1 (56:00):
Why not, Huh. There's a lot of stuff that and
has been now for several years on TV. I mean,
I I'm no puritan, but I'd watch like, oh, okay,
this show must be pretty good. I'm gonn watch Two
and a half Men and it was a bad combination
of crass and not funny. I don't mind crass if

(56:21):
it's creative and funny, but crass just because like, oh look,
how shocking this is what we're saying and doing, Like yeah, yeah,
is it funny? So the clip from the Cosby Show
a moment ago was a nice departure from that. So
let's see, about an hour ago, we were talking about
how a member of the Metro Community College Board of

(56:43):
Governors is being censured tonight by the board and they're
asking him to resign because he on social media responded
to a woman who is a very in your face,
profane lefty in our community. And he suggested that perhaps
her and I don't know if this is her husband

(57:04):
or friend or life partner. I don't know these people.
But she's standing there with a guy, and it seems
like she's associated with the guy. And one of the
guys on the social media string said that guy is
not only gay, but gayer than Elton John's handbag is
how he phrased it. And then this guy, Adam Gottschall
of the board of governors for the Metropolitan Community College,

(57:28):
he says, maybe that's why she's crazy. She's never been
satisfied properly. And he used a crass and profane, foul
foul language and all over her social media page, and
I went back several weeks. Is a lot of crass

(57:48):
and profane, foul foul language, including here in the picture
she's holding proudly holding a license plate where she According
to some the phrase eighty six forty seven it might
mean get rid of Trump, like we need to vote
him out of office. By the way, there won't be
an opportunity to do so. He's not up for reelection anymore.

(58:11):
We don't think so. Some people look at the phrase
eighty six forty seven, and they take it to eliminate
the president, and then it says FDT, which is forget
Donald Trump, so to speak. So there was all of that.
There was a couple of foul foul words in that one.
And now we got the Hunter Biden interview. He's talking

(58:36):
to some guy from a podcast. Callahan is the guy's name,
not Sean Callahan. So the son of former President Joe
Biden was responding here to It was about a year ago,
shortly after the very very poor debate performance by his dad,

(58:58):
President Joe Biden against Trump, that George Clooney was among
those who said, quite loudly, Joe Biden needs to go.
He needs he needs to step down from the ticket
and let someone else run for the presidency. A year later,
Hunter Biden is still mad. I don't have to be nice.

Speaker 6 (59:21):
Number one. I agree with Quentin Tarantino. George Clooney is
not an actor.

Speaker 2 (59:25):
He is a like.

Speaker 6 (59:28):
I don't know what he is. You what do you
have to do with anything? Why do I have to
listen to you? What right do you have to step
on a man who's given fifty two years of his
life to the service of this country.

Speaker 1 (59:39):
All right, we heard enough there. My beeper is going
to break and I'm gonna use them all up. I'm
gonna miss it. This thing's only got so much battery life.
So that was on with Andrew Callahan. It says Channel
five with Andrew Callahan. So I'm guessing that's written or
something like that. So, yeah, Hunter Biden's still mad, and

(01:00:03):
he's you know, blank this and blank that and blank
George Clooney and all the rest of this stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
It was hard to tell what he's mad about.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
Yeah, well he's mad about that. He's also he also said,
and I don't have that audio clip here, at least
not the bleep version, but he was talking about illegal
immigrants and the operations by ICE against illegal immigration, and
he says, you know, blank, you, how do you think

(01:00:31):
your hotel room gets cleaned? So are we not going
to say Hunter Biden's not allowed to say that, you know,
anytime anyone points out like well, yeah, if we start
cleaning up illegal immigrants, then you know who's gonna do
this job and that job and all the rest of it. Now,
the reality is is that a lot of these jobs
are done by people with sketchy immigration papers. But anytime

(01:00:57):
you point that out, it's like, you know, immigrants do
a lot in this country and they're doing jobs and
Americans don't want it. For a time out, First of all,
we're not talking about immigrants. We're talking about illegal immigrants.
And if their employers hired them because they thought they
had the right paperwork here, they've stolen the identity of
someone else to get this job. And maybe Americans would

(01:01:18):
do these jobs, and maybe legal immigrants in this country
would do these jobs if we didn't have so many
of these jobs paid under the table by shysters who
are flouting not only immigration and employment law, but also
driving down salaries and wages for the people who do
these proud professions. There's nothing wrong with, as Hunter Biden said,

(01:01:43):
you know, cleaning up a hotel room, and there are
people who want these jobs. You know, the poll of
making a good wage and clocking in, clocking out, working hard,
and doing a service for somebody. That's a proud thing.
A lot of families in this country got to where
they are today because somewhere down the line, a grandparent,

(01:02:07):
great grandparent, great great grandparent lowered themselves to doing the
job that was available maybe it wasn't the greatest job,
but they worked hard, and then their kid managed to
have a little bit more, and then their kid managed
to have a little bit more. You know, And now
we've trained today's parents, you don't do these jobs. It's

(01:02:29):
much better just to sit around and let the government
pay you not to do anything. That's a much more
proud way to live than to go work. And so
they got nothing coming in. Their kids see mom or
dad doing nothing, and what do you know, their kids
end up doing nothing. They're inspired to do nothing. Work ethic,
hard work, doing these things. I'm not going to lower

(01:02:50):
myself to doing that. Some illegal immigrant does that job. Sorry,
did I just go off on a tangent anyway? Hunter
Biden's still Mad More f Bombs Coming Up. Last night
was the first show that went to air since Stephen
Colbert last week said that the network's CBS was canceling

(01:03:11):
their show, but not anytime soon, not until the end
of next television season, which means that Colbert is on
TV until late May. And boy, they blew it out
a little early last night. It was celebrity after celebrity
appearance last night. I need to watch more of this
weird Al Yankovic made an appearance. There's no bigger celebrity

(01:03:32):
than weird Al Yankovic, and I'm saying that without sarcasm.
He's coming to Pinewood Bowl here in a couple of weeks.
I'll see you there. I looked up. I saw Adam
Sandler and as Happy Gilmour with Shooter McGavin there in
kind of a coldplay kiss cam moment. Adorable, very very funny.
Like I said last week, I like Stephen Colbert when

(01:03:53):
he's been funny and entertaining. He's very funny and entertaining.
But the problem with Stephen Colbert's show is that he
started believing his own politics and felt like I'm the
only one out there who will say this stuff, and
so I need to say it every single night. And
so like every night you tune in and it was
Adam Schiff or some Democrat member of Congress or governor

(01:04:18):
or something like that, or some left leaning journalist or author.
I'm like, what where are the celebrities doing telling fun
stories and stuff like that. They didn't have a lot
of that. It was instead stuff like Adam Schiff, And
you wonder why the show is losing money? And by
the way, that's true. People are like, well, forget CBS.

(01:04:39):
You know, they're getting rid of Stephen Colbert for political
reasons and all this and now here are the political reasons.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is losing forty to
fifty million dollars a year, and since it's not propped
up by the NBA, Colbert can't go on the air
wearing a T shirt that says pay us what you
owe us. You're losing money. And so a network that

(01:05:02):
likes to make money is dumping a show that's losing money,
so they stop losing money. But amazingly, they're keeping it
on through the end of May because they know, like, hey,
this is the long goodbye. It's like a business saying hey,
we're going out of business, or it's our farewell concert
tour that goes on forever.

Speaker 2 (01:05:23):
So are they going to show up for the end?
These celebrities? Are they coming back?

Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
I don't know. I think maybe they they blew it
out too much last night. But here's the I think
the last bleep we have for you today. Because Trump
was among those who was gloating that Colbert was being
fired forgetting you know, Colbert is still on the air
every single night for the next several months. And here

(01:05:48):
was Colbert last night.

Speaker 6 (01:05:50):
On Friday, Donald Trump posted, I absolutely love that Colbert
got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings.

Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
How how how dare you, sir?

Speaker 6 (01:06:06):
Would an untalented man be able to compose the following
satirical witticism yourself?

Speaker 1 (01:06:15):
Audience loved it and began chanting his name like he'd
it's still going on by the way. Yeah, so it's
you know, they're like, oh, this is you know, I
I have to say, it's not a satirical witticism. But
when you set it up like that, like you call

(01:06:38):
me talentless, someone without talent, come up with something so
amazing to say, such as and then that phrase. So yeah,
it was set up. Well it's a funny joke, but
I don't know that he had anything else to say. Frankly,
he's certainly not going to rise above it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
Well in his audience is his audience, I know, right?

Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
And I also to say this pretty good Trump impression.
Pretty good Trump impression on that one. Not bad. David Letterman,
who handed off the Late Show to Stephen Colbert years ago,
has Colbert's back, he said he you can't spell CBS
without BS, and then he's been posting clips of him

(01:07:24):
making fun of his parent company, CBS. In one clip
from nineteen ninety four, he said, CBS's motto should be
we could be sold or we're number four. Of course,
Dave left NBC to come to CBS, so you could
spend the next several years making fun of CBS. So yeah,

(01:07:48):
So that's a little bit of last night. I think
that's the last bleeped F bomb we have for you today.
I'm not sure we'll wrap up the show next Scott.
Let's talk about money for a second here as we
close out the as Hunter Biden was cussing about illegal
immigration earlier. He likes it. He doesn't like that anyone's
doing anything about it. One of the things you're going

(01:08:11):
to see a lot from the media and hear from politicians,
and it's already started, is how much it costs to detain,
to arrest and detain and remove an undocumented immigrant. They're
just undocumented. Well, in some cases they have documents, someone
else's documents, But it costs a lot of money. It
costs between fifty five and seventy five dollars a day

(01:08:31):
to hold someone and an average of seventeen thousand plus
dollars to arrest, detain, and remove. Well, but my goodness,
do you know what It also costs a lot of
money every day to house abusers, people who assault kids, murderers,
and cannibals. So if we want to save money, let
them all out. Just let them all out. And I

(01:08:52):
don't know it costs so much money. You're fluent in sarcasm,
right
