If you're looking for my comments on the latest attempt on the President's life, you'll find all of that under the "Nebraska's Morning News" podcast tab. I wouldn't say I said too much too differently during today's "Vintage Voorhees" hour on that, so I'm finally getting around to posting Friday's show, which included cereal box toys, Dr. A.I., and Rhonda Shear of "USA's Up All Night" fame.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Got something wrong here?
Speaker 2 (00:01):
What did you do?
Speaker 1 (00:02):
I got something wrong? I'm Scott Vorhees, there's Lucy Chapman.
This is news radio eleven to ten kfab And when
I get something wrong, I get yelled at by form
And you know what, he just stands here in the
studio like a and this isn't an offensive term, right,
a tobacco store Indian. That's fine, right, you can still
(00:23):
say that everyone's fine with that, as long as he's
not a mascot of a baseball team or a local
insurance company. The cigar store Indian reference. He just stands
here in the studio like a cigar store Indian. And
then when I get something wrong, former Omaha City Councilman
Ben Gray yells at me, check my facts, fool, I am.
(00:47):
I said all Omaha public schools had remote learning today
for some stupid reason. It turns out they do not.
And I wondered why I was getting texts or emails
from people going, you talking about my kids at school today?
Do they not school? And my kid lie to me,
they are they out smoking? Are they at the arcade?
What year is this? Nineteen eighty one? Yea two, it's
(01:08):
nineteen eighty two. Yes, they're gonna they're gonna start smoking,
which at that time I think doctors were fine with it.
You could smoke in hospitals and on airplanes. So your
kids are going to be smoking, whether they like it
or not. They're going to go to the roller rink
in the arcade, and then they're gonna go see et.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Oh that makes me feel really sad for what life
used to be.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Nineteen eighty two. We can still do those things except
for except for any of them. What is the twenty
twenty six equivalent? Oh? Man, it was crazy. I got up,
I vaped all day, I changed my gender a few times.
I thought I'd just try a little bit of this,
a little bit of that. I had an affair with
my teacher, and then I went home to my sex
(02:00):
ambiguous family members.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I don't and I don't understand the question what I
don't an equivalent to twenty six.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I don't understand anything. I don't understand and I don't care.
But I said that all OPS students were on remote
learning today, and they are not only my kids school
because there's some sort of district music contests there and
so you can't have kids in the classroom when people
are going into the auditorium for a music contest. I
(02:28):
suppose with the parking and so forth. Anyway, they just
said it's easier for kids to be home learning.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Do they still let them play musical instruments at schools?
Thought I would have assumed they banned that. It's a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Too bann B A N N ed because band B,
A and D is still a thing.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Well, yeah, that's that's good to know.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
It's good. I'll tell you one thing that is constant
from when we were kids to what they're bringing back now.
And I guess I didn't know that this had gone away.
Well I really hadn't thought about it, But now that
I think about it, you're right. When you were a kid,
you get a Cereal box. I'm talking about like a
(03:16):
dry breakfast Cereal good kid breakfast, Cereal healthy, Like what's
the one was basically chocolate chips and.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
A bag cookie crisp cook Yeah, but you know what,
it's still it's still that would have been healthier. Right now,
if you had that nineteen eighty two box of Cereal,
it would be healthier than anything you could buy on
this on the shelves today.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Our parents let us get and eat for breakfast because
they weren't going to deal with this all day. Our
teachers were a bowl of chocolate chip cookies in milk
cookie crisp, And then you get some of the cereals
that had colors hues associated with him that don't exist
(04:03):
naturally in nature. And then and then you'd see the
cartoon characters and the TV commercials and go, why this
this bird over here goes absolutely out of his mind
when he has this cereal? Yeah, what do you think
it's doing to your kids? If it's doing that to
the cuckoo for cocoa puffs bird or too can sam
or whatever? Was that a bird the cocoa puffs? Yeah, yeah,
(04:25):
he I think so.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I thought it was a dinosaur. Thought was like a ternactyl.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
What's a bird?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So they knew that dinosaurs came from birds even back then.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Well, he'd get that that goes cocoa puffs and he
would lose his shinola. That's what had happened to him. So,
uh yeah, our kids, our parents will let us load
up on that stuff and then go. Our teachers would
deal with us. You know how our teachers would deal
with us. Here's a strange concept. They would tell us
(04:58):
to sit down and shut up, and we actually did,
and if we didn't, it was you know, years of
wood shop. But you know that's how I went. Well,
there was something else that happened with our breakfast cereals
back in the day that haven't been happening for I
don't know how many years. I hadn't really thought about it,
(05:19):
mostly because we occasionally get breakfast cereal. My daughter never
ate it, which is not abnormal with today's kids. It's
like a on the go protein bar, you know, some
smoothie or something like that. That's what a lot of
them eat, or some weird parents get up and like
(05:39):
make a hot breakfast for their kids. How So, when
it comes to like kids having to feed themselves actually
eat something, maybe that's the reason why they let us
eat whatever we want for breakfast, because they knew we
would actually eat it if I had to get up
and like I gotta make bacon and eggs or like
do pancake batter, Like I don't know, I'm not giving
(06:01):
myself time for that. But a quick bowl of cereal,
yeah I can. I can eat that real quick. And
I wanted to eat it because it was fruit loops
or cocoa pebbles or something like that.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yuh oh man, not fruity. No fruity pebbles were terrible.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
No, no, fruity pebbles are fantastic. Now I can go
either way. Did I just say I could go fruity
if I want to. It's Friday, so i'd had. I mean,
all those cereals you get, the ones with the monsters
on the thing there, you get, you count Chocola, your Frankenberry,
your Booberry. They tried something with a yummy mummy that
(06:41):
wasn't as good, it was still pretty. And then you
had crunchberries with Captain crunch.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Well, all of my friends did. When I was visiting.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Lucy, it would get the Amway version of these cereals.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
No, Amway was too expensive.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
What would you eat?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
It was? It came in a bag.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
It was a it was a it was a brown bag,
and it just in big black block lettering it said Cereal.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
It did it was exactly right, but it didn't say Cereal.
It said corn made into flakes. Hm hmm oats, yeah,
made into circles.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Can I have those freaks? Can I have those those
flakes frosted. I wouldn't ask I wouldn't ask him for that.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
No, the government wasn't putting those out.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Hey, Lucy got any apple jacks? Now we got Apple jills.
It's different.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
And our cookie crisp was oatmeal.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
So there probably wasn't. I think the point I'm coming
to this is a news story we're discussing. We're not
just oh, is it it is? This is a news
I'm talking about things that happened in the news. It's
what we do on this radio station.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Well, quit beating around the bush. Let's hear it.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
What do you got four hours to fill? That's what
I got?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Oh man?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
People email me. Boy, you really like the sound of
your own voice, don't you like? Do you understand what
my job is? I can't. I'm not a teacher. I
can't say, hey, let's spend quiet time this period and
think about what we've done. If you have any extra
work going, and catch up on it now. And I'm
just over there on my phone or like that teacher
and Miller generating naked pictures on using AI on my
(08:28):
school computer and thinking I'll never get caught, you idiot?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Is that the news story? Yes, that's it.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Well, that's that's news story.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
On the news story, were you going to tell us.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
They're putting toys back inside the boxes of cereal? Now
Lucy's great grains, Yeah, Lucy, her toy would be like, oh,
you got me a pet? It's a roach, Like, oh,
that wasn't supposed to be in there.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
But usually they were the only dead ones in the house.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Gross. No, we would get You know, what if I
had if someone yeah, if someone else put a gun
to my head right now, can I imagine looking around
there's a sniper in here. Somewhere there's a red dot.
(09:17):
If someone else put a gun to my head and said,
name a toy you gotta out of a cereal box
when you were a kid, I don't know that I
could come up with anything right now.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Wow, I don't know that I could either not.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
One single thing I have. I have some vague concepts
of things that may have existed, but it was like
as like a ring and maybe a g I Joe
kind of a thing. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I don't think I think you're thinking of the comic books.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
But anyway, they whatever they would do, we would either
swallow them and choke or they would break immediately, or
we just lose them, or we go, oh, oh my gods,
it's toy inside, and then we just set it off
to the side, and then our parents would just throw
it away later because we left it out there on
the table. Well, they're putting toys good back in the
(10:11):
cereal boxes, says Kellogg's was criticized in two thousand and
four for including Spider Man watches in their cereal boxes.
And these watches had mercury batteries and some of them
would blow up.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
That's not funny.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Look at this free toy inside. What is it? It's delicious?
Isn't that how we killed the terrorists? We sent them.
We sent them beepers that blew up. Well, they're putting
toys inside. That character is from I guess there's a
(10:47):
new Toy Story movie coming out. Cool. Uh so I
don't know they're putting toys. I didn't know that they
hadn't had toys in the cereal boxes.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Wait, that's it. That's all another Toy Story gets is cool?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Yeah. Cool.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Toy Story three had me crying more than any movie
of all time ever. Oh my gosh, I was such
a baby. Well, I had both had both my little
kids on my lap, and at the end of that movie,
I was just holding them like I think they were
afraid for their lives. I was squeezing them, like, don't
grow up. And then they did, and then they did
(11:23):
the terrible children. They grew up. Oh, I was gonna say.
The other fun part about the free toy inside the
box is when your sister would just shove her entire
arm down in the box, dirty fingers, stinky arm in
the box, and then she's like, I got the toy inside,
and you're like, yeah, you got arms, sweat all over
(11:44):
the all over the count chocula.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Fruit loots sticking to her elbows.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Yes, yeah, she was. They was all covered in cereal
all the time. They called her fruity pebbles, both as
a kid and then later when she was a dancer.
Scott goes, now, there are some things that are different
from when we were kids, that are not better and AI.
In many instances it can be very helpful, I certainly
(12:12):
understand that, but in other instances rather scary. And for
more on this. When it comes to people turning to
artificial intelligence for their medical issues, we welcome now here.
Doctor Joe Galotti Board certified gastro entrologist and liver disease specialist.
I bet you're a lot of fun at parties, doctor Galotti,
(12:33):
Thank you very much for being here with us this morning.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Well, yeah, I think I am fun at parties, but
it's always a good joke. But no, thanks very much.
I think this is a great topic for everybody to
really get a in a sense of reset on how
they should look at AI in trying to take care
of themselves in their own healthcare.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, I want to talk to you about digestive issues.
You have a book called Eating Yourself. Let's make sure
and spend a moment on that. But when it comes
to AI, there's an increasing number of people, a lot
of young people who are turning to AI to basically
find companionship, friendship, sometimes a romantic relationship. Why wouldn't they
go to AI for a medical diagnoses? But sometimes AI
(13:17):
is just wrong, right, Yeah, there was a.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Recent report that came out that said when patients input
basic information about a particular symptom be it, shortness of breath,
abdominal pain, fatigue, you're looking at an eighty percent likelihood
or better that you're wrong. And my concern I think
the concern of all physicians and healthcare providers is that
(13:44):
if you get the wrong diagnosis and it's going to
be a far less disease or condition, they're not going
to seek out help. If their shortness of breath or
cough comes up as seasonal allergies and hay fever, are
you going to take a you know, a zertech and
call it quits instead of thinking that they may have
(14:04):
something more severe. And so that's the concern late diagnosis, misdiagnosis,
and really the patient and the consumer loses the opportunity
to get in early to get the care that they need.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Isn't this just really a part of a long standing
stereotype which is often rooted in fact of guys not
going to the hospital ever, even if they have ribs
sticking out of their body. They're like, it's fine, I
don't need to see a doctor.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
No, I think you're absolutely right. And I put this
under the category of denial. And so if you want
to reinforce that denial, AI can help you because you're
going to be told, hey, that rib sticking out of
your side if you fell off a ladder, is you
(14:53):
know something you were born with? It makes absolutely no sense.
But that person in denial is going to say, see,
I tell you it's nothing to worry about, honey, And
again it just leads to bad care potentially. And again.
But if you if you're using it properly, where you're
putting in all of the information, your past medical history,
(15:16):
the medicines, you're on, family history, there is a likelihood
that you'll get closer to the diagnosis. But really nothing
is going to be checking in with your doctor and
getting a thorough work up.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Well, people have been going to the web for years
that with a WebMD and a popular joke that no
matter what you went to WebMD to check symptoms on,
it always came back that you had cancer. I'd go
on there and he like, I'd be like, my eyebrow hurts,
and WebMD would say it's eyebrow cancer. So I mean, no,
it's been bad for years.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Yeah, no it is. And I think the part where
and I don't think you're too far off. But people
get scared, and that in itself, there are those patients
that get scared right or wrong, and they will be
at the doctor's office within an hour. Other people see
something bad. I've got eyebrow cancer, and they go into hiding,
(16:13):
they go into withdrawal and this denial state. So you
need to have a healthy appreciation for what it can do,
what it cannot do the pitfalls and really leave it
at that. But you know, again we harp on this
time and time again. The best thing to do is
(16:34):
to check in with your doctor and get their opinion.
If it is nothing, fine, that's wonderful. If it is
something serious, then of course that's going to be good
for you.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Doctor Joe Glotti his book Eating Yourself Sick. We were
just talking a moment ago here Lucy Chapman's on the
radio with me about how the breakfast cereal we ate
in the eighties, which was full of sugar and chocolate,
chips and all kinds of fun stuff. It's probably healthier
than a lot of stuff that people are consuming these days.
Are we still are we even worse at making like
(17:06):
eating ourselves sick today? And what do Americans need to
do so we can be a little more healthy. We'll
still enjoying some junk food from time to time.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Well, you know, I.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Think the consumer today is under attack by the food manufacturers.
And if you look back in the nineteen seventies, there
were about eight thousand different food products in a typical
grocery store. Now that number is over fifty thousand, and
there are not larger produce areas. There's more frozen foods,
(17:36):
packaged foods, process and ultra processed foods. So this is
a junk that we are buying. And so I would
think that to be very you know, really serious about it,
we have to get back to the basics and say,
we need to get back to a whole food, plant
based diet, really look at the food you're eating, eliminating
(17:56):
the process and ultra processed foods. And I think the
one thing that I is that the interest in meal prepping,
the interest in cooking has declined over time because it
is so easy to get food anywhere you go, that
the knowledge of nutrition, the knowledge of cooking has gone away.
(18:17):
And if you don't know how to cook, you don't
feel like cooking, you're going to stop all for you know,
door dash and just eat bad food. So I do
think with all of the obesity and the chronic disease,
we have to get back to the basics of really
appreciating the food we eat and how it's prepared.
Speaker 1 (18:36):

News Radio eleven ten KFAB. I cannot resist going back to,
in this case, the early nineties for this next segment.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
It's Ronda, your video vamp, your bedtime buddy, your girly girl,
your golden goddess of the airwaves, your late night lamb
Chop and us say Up All Night continues with Vice Academy.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Three, Vice Academy three that night on USA Up Ball Night.
Rhonda Shear joins us now on News Radio eleven ten
kfa B. Good morning, my what was it? My late
night lamb.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Chop yes, I'm your late night lamb Chop with your
bedtime buddy. Thank you, Scott, thank you for finding that.
Holy but goodie, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Isn't YouTube great? Do you ever go on YouTube and go, oh,
look at me and Gilbert Godfrey, we were so cute.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Yes, well I do have my own YouTube channel, so
yes I do.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yes, now Roku and now you got your own Roku channel.
Tell me about that, Randa.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Well, you know, you get so tired of waiting to
be on other people channels your whole life as an actor,
that you're like, darn it, I'm starting my own, So
I'm programming my own. There is some truth to that.
So anyway, Yes, it's a Roku channel called All Night,
where we will be showing the new up All Nights
that we're creating right now, along with some of the
(20:26):
retro shows, along with new independent filmmakers, films, a lot,
a lot, a lot of films. We've already got like
four hundred and fifty films that are new that are
running there, along with comedy and animation, and we're asking
for music. So we're actually asking people to send in
content and that we will look at it and you
can do that by just reaching out to us through
(20:48):
Up All Night Roku at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
When I was when I want the film, If.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
You've got some film, send it on over to us.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
In my formative years, I would watch USA Up All
Night and see some of the worst movies of all time,
and we would watch them because they were fun and
they were on. We didn't have a lot of channels options,
and for like a sixth grade sleepover, you're flipping channels, like,
all right, let's see what Ronda's showing tonight. Oh, Toxic Avenger,
(21:18):
Toxic Avenger three, we got to watch that. Did How
was it that those movies came to be selected for
USA Up All Night?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Well, USA network back in the day, which was early
basic cable. They were one of the first that was
their library. So basically, the movies are kind of schlocky
and aimed younger audience, and they wanted to sell the
younger audience. They wanted to sell them beer, and they
wanted to sell them back in that day, nine hundred numbers,
and they wanted to sell them Snickers bars and pretty
(21:53):
much everything. Also what oh Snapple. So the whole thing
about our get was to make people watch the films
to get to the commercials, so that you know, it's
always about you know, getting people tuning them in to
buy the product, right at least back in the day.
So that's how it came to be. It was really
the films that were in USA Network's library and that's
(22:17):
you know, and then they created these sketches and that,
you know, and I was hired to do that along
with Gilbert Godfried on Saturday Night. So it was just
a wonderful time in early basic cable. And that's what
we're talking again on roku is doing that wonderful programming
and joining what we're doing in that we're bringing you
a little bit of this, a little bit of that,
a little retro, and a lot of now, but pure
(22:38):
entertainment and mindless, no political, just fun.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Love it. That's kind of like the show we I'm
gonna give you three titles of B movie horror films.
You tell me which one is a fake movie. Hell
Comes to Frogtown, Sorority Babes and the slime Ball ball
Arama and The Ball Who Loved Me.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
The Eyeball Who Loved Me is not real, but it
sounds like it could be.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
If someone wants to make it AI and I will
knock that out here momentarily and then we'll show it
on the new USA Up All Night Roku channel with
Rhonda Shear. Tell me your favorite Gilbert Godfried's story please.
I loved that guy.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Oh, I'm miss Kilbert. We did a lot of traveling
for Up All Night together whenever we would have like
these different contests that had to do with the advertisers,
and one of my favorites was being with him in
Universal Studios and the Bahamas. Rather no, no, I'm combining
Universal Studios Florida and our trip to the Bahamas. We
(23:42):
had two trips that we did together, and I have
to say they were both wonderful because we ate. We
were able to just go off between filming and eat
together and hang out together, and he was hysterical and
then he would just be himself, which was like more
low key, always frugal, and always wanting me to get
him swaged. So I always got him swag, like either
(24:05):
free jackets or T shirts or soap or whatever they had,
I got it for him. So he loved me for that,
and we just had this wonderful chemistry and a wonderful
friendship and through the years, whatever I asked him to
do for me after up all night podcasts or interviews,
he was always there. I'm really happy that he got
to marry the lovely Zara and had two wonderful children,
(24:25):
and he just left us way too early.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah, you've been in yourself so many different movies, TV shows,
everything from Full House. You were Kimmy Gibler as a
grown up, as I recall in Full House back in
the day, happy days, married with children. I mean, you've
kind of popped up a little bit everywhere. At some point,
someone probably wanted you to start in a B movie
(24:47):
that would be on USA up all night. How did
that never happen? Or did it and I just missed it?
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Did I did something called Basic Training, and I was
in for Hell Comes to frog Town three or two.
I don't remember what I did in it. So I
did do some of the B films. What's really funny
is i'm doing them now. I just finished one. I
don't know if it's going to be I think it's
going to be an A. It's going to be an
A horror film called The Morning Architect. But I could
(25:14):
have done It's really that's a great question, and no
one's ever asked me. And the answer to that is,
all these people like Troma and Wllyd Coffin came through
the set of UFA Network. But I moved to La
to be a sitcom star, and I was so focused
on comedy and my stand up that I never asked
one time, you know, let me audition for a film.
So really and truly it was my own fault. I
(25:36):
probably could have done. Like I know, all these women
from back in the day, like Lenea Prittley and Michelle Bauer,
they're all still working, never stopped, hundreds of films behind them.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I love it because they never thought like the B
movies Scream Queen that I just did for a paycheck
and whatever ended up being a thing. And now any
of you guys go to some of these comic book
conventions and things like that, the line is down the.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Block, down the block. So your generation loved them, grew
up with them, and then your generation has turned your
kids onto them. So this is like whole new resurgence.
And that's what's fun about our Roku channel is that
we're getting the people who grew up with me and
that I got through puberty on along with their kids
and other kids that are just discovering the horror genre,
(26:21):
and we're gonna have a little bit of this and that.
So it's really fun. It's on Roku. You have to
get the firestick or have the Roku TV and just
look for Up all night. You'll find us and it's entertaining.
No political stuff, no politically correct, just downright escape television, Ronda.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
You get a few seconds though, if there's anything you
wanted to say about some hard hitting political views or
rants or anything like that. Flora is yours.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
You can find all things ron And then if you
want to watch this channel, go to Roku, get the app,
the Roku app and downloads Up all night and it'll
bring you back and you will find some wonderful new
programming that no one has ever seen and premieres as well.
And I thank you so much for having me on
Got something wrong here?
Speaker 2 (00:01):
What did you do?
Speaker 1 (00:02):
I got something wrong? I'm Scott Vorhees, there's Lucy Chapman.
This is news radio eleven to ten kfab And when
I get something wrong, I get yelled at by form
And you know what, he just stands here in the
studio like a and this isn't an offensive term, right,
a tobacco store Indian. That's fine, right, you can still
(00:23):
say that everyone's fine with that, as long as he's
not a mascot of a baseball team or a local
insurance company. The cigar store Indian reference. He just stands
here in the studio like a cigar store Indian. And
then when I get something wrong, former Omaha City Councilman
Ben Gray yells at me, check my facts, fool, I am.
(00:47):
I said all Omaha public schools had remote learning today
for some stupid reason. It turns out they do not.
And I wondered why I was getting texts or emails
from people going, you talking about my kids at school today?
Do they not school? And my kid lie to me,
they are they out smoking? Are they at the arcade?
What year is this? Nineteen eighty one? Yea two, it's
(01:08):
nineteen eighty two. Yes, they're gonna they're gonna start smoking,
which at that time I think doctors were fine with it.
You could smoke in hospitals and on airplanes. So your
kids are going to be smoking, whether they like it
or not. They're going to go to the roller rink
in the arcade, and then they're gonna go see et.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Oh that makes me feel really sad for what life
used to be.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Nineteen eighty two. We can still do those things except
for except for any of them. What is the twenty
twenty six equivalent? Oh? Man, it was crazy. I got up,
I vaped all day, I changed my gender a few times.
I thought I'd just try a little bit of this,
a little bit of that. I had an affair with
my teacher, and then I went home to my sex
(02:00):
ambiguous family members.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I don't and I don't understand the question what I
don't an equivalent to twenty six.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I don't understand anything. I don't understand and I don't care.
But I said that all OPS students were on remote
learning today, and they are not only my kids school
because there's some sort of district music contests there and
so you can't have kids in the classroom when people
are going into the auditorium for a music contest. I
(02:28):
suppose with the parking and so forth. Anyway, they just
said it's easier for kids to be home learning.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Do they still let them play musical instruments at schools?
Thought I would have assumed they banned that. It's a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Too bann B A N N ed because band B,
A and D is still a thing.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Well, yeah, that's that's good to know.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
It's good. I'll tell you one thing that is constant
from when we were kids to what they're bringing back now.
And I guess I didn't know that this had gone away.
Well I really hadn't thought about it, But now that
I think about it, you're right. When you were a kid,
you get a Cereal box. I'm talking about like a
(03:16):
dry breakfast Cereal good kid breakfast, Cereal healthy, Like what's
the one was basically chocolate chips and.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
A bag cookie crisp cook Yeah, but you know what,
it's still it's still that would have been healthier. Right now,
if you had that nineteen eighty two box of Cereal,
it would be healthier than anything you could buy on
this on the shelves today.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Our parents let us get and eat for breakfast because
they weren't going to deal with this all day. Our
teachers were a bowl of chocolate chip cookies in milk
cookie crisp, And then you get some of the cereals
that had colors hues associated with him that don't exist
(04:03):
naturally in nature. And then and then you'd see the
cartoon characters and the TV commercials and go, why this
this bird over here goes absolutely out of his mind
when he has this cereal? Yeah, what do you think
it's doing to your kids? If it's doing that to
the cuckoo for cocoa puffs bird or too can sam
or whatever? Was that a bird the cocoa puffs? Yeah, yeah,
(04:25):
he I think so.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
I thought it was a dinosaur. Thought was like a ternactyl.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
What's a bird?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So they knew that dinosaurs came from birds even back then.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Well, he'd get that that goes cocoa puffs and he
would lose his shinola. That's what had happened to him. So,
uh yeah, our kids, our parents will let us load
up on that stuff and then go. Our teachers would
deal with us. You know how our teachers would deal
with us. Here's a strange concept. They would tell us
(04:58):
to sit down and shut up, and we actually did,
and if we didn't, it was you know, years of
wood shop. But you know that's how I went. Well,
there was something else that happened with our breakfast cereals
back in the day that haven't been happening for I
don't know how many years. I hadn't really thought about it,
(05:19):
mostly because we occasionally get breakfast cereal. My daughter never
ate it, which is not abnormal with today's kids. It's
like a on the go protein bar, you know, some
smoothie or something like that. That's what a lot of
them eat, or some weird parents get up and like
(05:39):
make a hot breakfast for their kids. How So, when
it comes to like kids having to feed themselves actually
eat something, maybe that's the reason why they let us
eat whatever we want for breakfast, because they knew we
would actually eat it if I had to get up
and like I gotta make bacon and eggs or like
do pancake batter, Like I don't know, I'm not giving
(06:01):
myself time for that. But a quick bowl of cereal,
yeah I can. I can eat that real quick. And
I wanted to eat it because it was fruit loops
or cocoa pebbles or something like that.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yuh oh man, not fruity. No fruity pebbles were terrible.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
No, no, fruity pebbles are fantastic. Now I can go
either way. Did I just say I could go fruity
if I want to. It's Friday, so i'd had. I mean,
all those cereals you get, the ones with the monsters
on the thing there, you get, you count Chocola, your Frankenberry,
your Booberry. They tried something with a yummy mummy that
(06:41):
wasn't as good, it was still pretty. And then you
had crunchberries with Captain crunch.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Well, all of my friends did. When I was visiting.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Lucy, it would get the Amway version of these cereals.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
No, Amway was too expensive.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
What would you eat?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
It was? It came in a bag.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
It was a it was a it was a brown bag,
and it just in big black block lettering it said Cereal.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
It did it was exactly right, but it didn't say Cereal.
It said corn made into flakes. Hm hmm oats, yeah,
made into circles.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Can I have those freaks? Can I have those those
flakes frosted. I wouldn't ask I wouldn't ask him for that.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
No, the government wasn't putting those out.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Hey, Lucy got any apple jacks? Now we got Apple jills.
It's different.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
And our cookie crisp was oatmeal.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
So there probably wasn't. I think the point I'm coming
to this is a news story we're discussing. We're not
just oh, is it it is? This is a news
I'm talking about things that happened in the news. It's
what we do on this radio station.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Well, quit beating around the bush. Let's hear it.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
What do you got four hours to fill? That's what
I got?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Oh man?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
People email me. Boy, you really like the sound of
your own voice, don't you like? Do you understand what
my job is? I can't. I'm not a teacher. I
can't say, hey, let's spend quiet time this period and
think about what we've done. If you have any extra
work going, and catch up on it now. And I'm
just over there on my phone or like that teacher
and Miller generating naked pictures on using AI on my
(08:28):
school computer and thinking I'll never get caught, you idiot?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Is that the news story? Yes, that's it.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Well, that's that's news story.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
On the news story, were you going to tell us.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
They're putting toys back inside the boxes of cereal? Now
Lucy's great grains, Yeah, Lucy, her toy would be like, oh,
you got me a pet? It's a roach, Like, oh,
that wasn't supposed to be in there.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
But usually they were the only dead ones in the house.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Gross. No, we would get You know, what if I
had if someone yeah, if someone else put a gun
to my head right now, can I imagine looking around
there's a sniper in here. Somewhere there's a red dot.
(09:17):
If someone else put a gun to my head and said,
name a toy you gotta out of a cereal box
when you were a kid, I don't know that I
could come up with anything right now.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Wow, I don't know that I could either not.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
One single thing I have. I have some vague concepts
of things that may have existed, but it was like
as like a ring and maybe a g I Joe
kind of a thing. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I don't think I think you're thinking of the comic books.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
But anyway, they whatever they would do, we would either
swallow them and choke or they would break immediately, or
we just lose them, or we go, oh, oh my gods,
it's toy inside, and then we just set it off
to the side, and then our parents would just throw
it away later because we left it out there on
the table. Well, they're putting toys good back in the
(10:11):
cereal boxes, says Kellogg's was criticized in two thousand and
four for including Spider Man watches in their cereal boxes.
And these watches had mercury batteries and some of them
would blow up.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
That's not funny.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Look at this free toy inside. What is it? It's delicious?
Isn't that how we killed the terrorists? We sent them.
We sent them beepers that blew up. Well, they're putting
toys inside. That character is from I guess there's a
(10:47):
new Toy Story movie coming out. Cool. Uh so I
don't know they're putting toys. I didn't know that they
hadn't had toys in the cereal boxes.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Wait, that's it. That's all another Toy Story gets is cool?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Yeah. Cool.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Toy Story three had me crying more than any movie
of all time ever. Oh my gosh, I was such
a baby. Well, I had both had both my little
kids on my lap, and at the end of that movie,
I was just holding them like I think they were
afraid for their lives. I was squeezing them, like, don't
grow up. And then they did, and then they did
(11:23):
the terrible children. They grew up. Oh, I was gonna say.
The other fun part about the free toy inside the
box is when your sister would just shove her entire
arm down in the box, dirty fingers, stinky arm in
the box, and then she's like, I got the toy inside,
and you're like, yeah, you got arms, sweat all over
(11:44):
the all over the count chocula.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Fruit loots sticking to her elbows.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Yes, yeah, she was. They was all covered in cereal
all the time. They called her fruity pebbles, both as
a kid and then later when she was a dancer.
Scott goes, now, there are some things that are different
from when we were kids, that are not better and AI.
In many instances it can be very helpful, I certainly
(12:12):
understand that, but in other instances rather scary. And for
more on this. When it comes to people turning to
artificial intelligence for their medical issues, we welcome now here.
Doctor Joe Galotti Board certified gastro entrologist and liver disease specialist.
I bet you're a lot of fun at parties, doctor Galotti,
(12:33):
Thank you very much for being here with us this morning.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Well, yeah, I think I am fun at parties, but
it's always a good joke. But no, thanks very much.
I think this is a great topic for everybody to
really get a in a sense of reset on how
they should look at AI in trying to take care
of themselves in their own healthcare.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, I want to talk to you about digestive issues.
You have a book called Eating Yourself. Let's make sure
and spend a moment on that. But when it comes
to AI, there's an increasing number of people, a lot
of young people who are turning to AI to basically
find companionship, friendship, sometimes a romantic relationship. Why wouldn't they
go to AI for a medical diagnoses? But sometimes AI
(13:17):
is just wrong, right, Yeah, there was a.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Recent report that came out that said when patients input
basic information about a particular symptom be it, shortness of breath,
abdominal pain, fatigue, you're looking at an eighty percent likelihood
or better that you're wrong. And my concern I think
the concern of all physicians and healthcare providers is that
(13:44):
if you get the wrong diagnosis and it's going to
be a far less disease or condition, they're not going
to seek out help. If their shortness of breath or
cough comes up as seasonal allergies and hay fever, are
you going to take a you know, a zertech and
call it quits instead of thinking that they may have
(14:04):
something more severe. And so that's the concern late diagnosis, misdiagnosis,
and really the patient and the consumer loses the opportunity
to get in early to get the care that they need.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Isn't this just really a part of a long standing
stereotype which is often rooted in fact of guys not
going to the hospital ever, even if they have ribs
sticking out of their body. They're like, it's fine, I
don't need to see a doctor.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
No, I think you're absolutely right. And I put this
under the category of denial. And so if you want
to reinforce that denial, AI can help you because you're
going to be told, hey, that rib sticking out of
your side if you fell off a ladder, is you
(14:53):
know something you were born with? It makes absolutely no sense.
But that person in denial is going to say, see,
I tell you it's nothing to worry about, honey, And
again it just leads to bad care potentially. And again.
But if you if you're using it properly, where you're
putting in all of the information, your past medical history,
(15:16):
the medicines, you're on, family history, there is a likelihood
that you'll get closer to the diagnosis. But really nothing
is going to be checking in with your doctor and
getting a thorough work up.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Well, people have been going to the web for years
that with a WebMD and a popular joke that no
matter what you went to WebMD to check symptoms on,
it always came back that you had cancer. I'd go
on there and he like, I'd be like, my eyebrow hurts,
and WebMD would say it's eyebrow cancer. So I mean, no,
it's been bad for years.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Yeah, no it is. And I think the part where
and I don't think you're too far off. But people
get scared, and that in itself, there are those patients
that get scared right or wrong, and they will be
at the doctor's office within an hour. Other people see
something bad. I've got eyebrow cancer, and they go into hiding,
(16:13):
they go into withdrawal and this denial state. So you
need to have a healthy appreciation for what it can do,
what it cannot do the pitfalls and really leave it
at that. But you know, again we harp on this
time and time again. The best thing to do is
(16:34):
to check in with your doctor and get their opinion.
If it is nothing, fine, that's wonderful. If it is
something serious, then of course that's going to be good
for you.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Doctor Joe Glotti his book Eating Yourself Sick. We were
just talking a moment ago here Lucy Chapman's on the
radio with me about how the breakfast cereal we ate
in the eighties, which was full of sugar and chocolate,
chips and all kinds of fun stuff. It's probably healthier
than a lot of stuff that people are consuming these days.
Are we still are we even worse at making like
(17:06):
eating ourselves sick today? And what do Americans need to
do so we can be a little more healthy. We'll
still enjoying some junk food from time to time.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Well, you know, I.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Think the consumer today is under attack by the food manufacturers.
And if you look back in the nineteen seventies, there
were about eight thousand different food products in a typical
grocery store. Now that number is over fifty thousand, and
there are not larger produce areas. There's more frozen foods,
(17:36):
packaged foods, process and ultra processed foods. So this is
a junk that we are buying. And so I would
think that to be very you know, really serious about it,
we have to get back to the basics and say,
we need to get back to a whole food, plant
based diet, really look at the food you're eating, eliminating
(17:56):
the process and ultra processed foods. And I think the
one thing that I is that the interest in meal prepping,
the interest in cooking has declined over time because it
is so easy to get food anywhere you go, that
the knowledge of nutrition, the knowledge of cooking has gone away.
(18:17):
And if you don't know how to cook, you don't
feel like cooking, you're going to stop all for you know,
door dash and just eat bad food. So I do
think with all of the obesity and the chronic disease,
we have to get back to the basics of really
appreciating the food we eat and how it's prepared.
Speaker 1 (18:36):

News Radio eleven ten KFAB. I cannot resist going back to,
in this case, the early nineties for this next segment.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
It's Ronda, your video vamp, your bedtime buddy, your girly girl,
your golden goddess of the airwaves, your late night lamb
Chop and us say Up All Night continues with Vice Academy.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Three, Vice Academy three that night on USA Up Ball Night.
Rhonda Shear joins us now on News Radio eleven ten
kfa B. Good morning, my what was it? My late
night lamb.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Chop yes, I'm your late night lamb Chop with your
bedtime buddy. Thank you, Scott, thank you for finding that.
Holy but goodie, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Isn't YouTube great? Do you ever go on YouTube and go, oh,
look at me and Gilbert Godfrey, we were so cute.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Yes, well I do have my own YouTube channel, so
yes I do.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yes, now Roku and now you got your own Roku channel.
Tell me about that, Randa.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Well, you know, you get so tired of waiting to
be on other people channels your whole life as an actor,
that you're like, darn it, I'm starting my own, So
I'm programming my own. There is some truth to that.
So anyway, Yes, it's a Roku channel called All Night,
where we will be showing the new up All Nights
that we're creating right now, along with some of the
(20:26):
retro shows, along with new independent filmmakers, films, a lot,
a lot, a lot of films. We've already got like
four hundred and fifty films that are new that are
running there, along with comedy and animation, and we're asking
for music. So we're actually asking people to send in
content and that we will look at it and you
can do that by just reaching out to us through
(20:48):
Up All Night Roku at gmail dot com.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
When I was when I want the film, If.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
You've got some film, send it on over to us.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
In my formative years, I would watch USA Up All
Night and see some of the worst movies of all time,
and we would watch them because they were fun and
they were on. We didn't have a lot of channels options,
and for like a sixth grade sleepover, you're flipping channels, like,
all right, let's see what Ronda's showing tonight. Oh, Toxic Avenger,
(21:18):
Toxic Avenger three, we got to watch that. Did How
was it that those movies came to be selected for
USA Up All Night?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Well, USA network back in the day, which was early
basic cable. They were one of the first that was
their library. So basically, the movies are kind of schlocky
and aimed younger audience, and they wanted to sell the
younger audience. They wanted to sell them beer, and they
wanted to sell them back in that day, nine hundred numbers,
and they wanted to sell them Snickers bars and pretty
(21:53):
much everything. Also what oh Snapple. So the whole thing
about our get was to make people watch the films
to get to the commercials, so that you know, it's
always about you know, getting people tuning them in to
buy the product, right at least back in the day.
So that's how it came to be. It was really
the films that were in USA Network's library and that's
(22:17):
you know, and then they created these sketches and that,
you know, and I was hired to do that along
with Gilbert Godfried on Saturday Night. So it was just
a wonderful time in early basic cable. And that's what
we're talking again on roku is doing that wonderful programming
and joining what we're doing in that we're bringing you
a little bit of this, a little bit of that,
a little retro, and a lot of now, but pure
(22:38):
entertainment and mindless, no political, just fun.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Love it. That's kind of like the show we I'm
gonna give you three titles of B movie horror films.
You tell me which one is a fake movie. Hell
Comes to Frogtown, Sorority Babes and the slime Ball ball
Arama and The Ball Who Loved Me.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
The Eyeball Who Loved Me is not real, but it
sounds like it could be.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
If someone wants to make it AI and I will
knock that out here momentarily and then we'll show it
on the new USA Up All Night Roku channel with
Rhonda Shear. Tell me your favorite Gilbert Godfried's story please.
I loved that guy.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Oh, I'm miss Kilbert. We did a lot of traveling
for Up All Night together whenever we would have like
these different contests that had to do with the advertisers,
and one of my favorites was being with him in
Universal Studios and the Bahamas. Rather no, no, I'm combining
Universal Studios Florida and our trip to the Bahamas. We
(23:42):
had two trips that we did together, and I have
to say they were both wonderful because we ate. We
were able to just go off between filming and eat
together and hang out together, and he was hysterical and
then he would just be himself, which was like more
low key, always frugal, and always wanting me to get
him swaged. So I always got him swag, like either
(24:05):
free jackets or T shirts or soap or whatever they had,
I got it for him. So he loved me for that,
and we just had this wonderful chemistry and a wonderful
friendship and through the years, whatever I asked him to
do for me after up all night podcasts or interviews,
he was always there. I'm really happy that he got
to marry the lovely Zara and had two wonderful children,
(24:25):
and he just left us way too early.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Yeah, you've been in yourself so many different movies, TV shows,
everything from Full House. You were Kimmy Gibler as a
grown up, as I recall in Full House back in
the day, happy days, married with children. I mean, you've
kind of popped up a little bit everywhere. At some point,
someone probably wanted you to start in a B movie
(24:47):
that would be on USA up all night. How did
that never happen? Or did it and I just missed it?
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Did I did something called Basic Training, and I was
in for Hell Comes to frog Town three or two.
I don't remember what I did in it. So I
did do some of the B films. What's really funny
is i'm doing them now. I just finished one. I
don't know if it's going to be I think it's
going to be an A. It's going to be an
A horror film called The Morning Architect. But I could
(25:14):
have done It's really that's a great question, and no
one's ever asked me. And the answer to that is,
all these people like Troma and Wllyd Coffin came through
the set of UFA Network. But I moved to La
to be a sitcom star, and I was so focused
on comedy and my stand up that I never asked
one time, you know, let me audition for a film.
So really and truly it was my own fault. I
(25:36):
probably could have done. Like I know, all these women
from back in the day, like Lenea Prittley and Michelle Bauer,
they're all still working, never stopped, hundreds of films behind them.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I love it because they never thought like the B
movies Scream Queen that I just did for a paycheck
and whatever ended up being a thing. And now any
of you guys go to some of these comic book
