We started off with the best of intentions today, honoring an oft-forgotten population while also working in a reference to the George Michael song "I Want Your Sex." Then, we moved on to my careless whispers about self-image, obesity or the lack thereof, designer babies, and more.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be? Everything is
all right? Tell me one thing that someone could complain
about today that that is some ill to society, something
that someone could look at here today and say, I
don't think that's a that's very good.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Nothing. Everything's perfect.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
And the moment that I started talking about this, it
just got better.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Can you believe it?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It's amazing. I'm Scott Vorhees. Lucy Chapman's right there.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I don't even know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
This is news Radio eleven ten kfab Well, that is
the theme of the show. Now, before we get into
a few other things here, I want to once again
read these names because I am a huge fan of
the Patriot Guard writers. These are the guys who first
got on my radar when that cult from Topeka would
(00:59):
come up and they decided, all right, we're done protesting
outside of concerts, especially concerts where there might be a
gay individual singing a song. And they decided to go
out there and hold all their signs talking about how
they they don't like that kind of thing. Okay, well
(01:21):
then maybe don't buy a ticket and go see that show.
Is someone forcing them? And maybe remember this the cult
I think they're dying out. This was a cult in
Topeka called the Westboro Baptist Church.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I was on the radio for eight years in Kansas City,
and every once in a while, one of them, including
their leader Fred, would call into the show. And the
first couple of times I tried to argue with them
until I realized, what am I going to say that's
going to cause him to do anything other than just
come on and start cussing on the radio. So then
(02:04):
I just started to have some fun with him, including
he would start to talk and then I would I
would start a song and I would just kind of
push it a little bit louder, a little bit louder,
a little bit loud, until eventually this song was drowning
him out. And the song was I Want Your Sex
by George Michael, because you really do that?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I couldn't think of anything gay.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Who was I I was here in Kansas City. I'm
sorry I missed.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
You were here, So.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I don't I don't like these people, but it was
kind of funny to mess with them a little bit
until they started protesting outside of the funerals of American
service members. Why because they wanted to get punched. This
was a group of people who survived based on whether
(03:02):
it was settlements out of court or court decisions that
awarded the money. Because eventually, at some point someone comes
up and says, this is the funeral from my brother,
and then they would say something really vile and hateful
to someone who did not deserve it, and people couldn't
help themselves. They thought this will be great, I'm gonna
lay this mother out and they punch a guy and
(03:25):
they're like, ooh, sue. You know, they all got it
on video, and they sue and they get paid. It's
the only thing that was keeping them alive financially is
getting punched. Hey, Bud Crawford, did it? You know you
get paid by getting punched. That's what these guys wanted
to do. The Patriot Guard Riders, and I'm I imagine
(03:48):
they existed before all these funeral protests. They would as
a big scary motorcycle riders. They would line the streets
because these cult members wouldn't be allowed to go in
the street, and so they would always position themselves along
(04:08):
a funeral procession or outside a cemetery where the families
coming in would see them. Obviously, again in hopes that
someone would get out and punch them and they would
get paid. The Patriot Guard Writers were allowed by police
to be in the streets, and so they would provide
a further escort for the funeral procession and always take
(04:29):
up tactical positions in the street with themselves, their own
signs and big American flags, so that the family going
into the cemetery would not see what was on the
other side of that sign, which was the protesters.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Love that.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Vile, disgusting, very unchristian, satanic group.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I said it, you did, and look and there be
people say, but the Bible on homos such, well, all right.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Then that's the don'ts a separate issue? Then don't go
make out with the guy.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Right, And it's a issue based on what.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
They were doing.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Let me let me know if I can solve any
other problems for you. But look, and we talk about it.
This has nothing that the separate issue is. Well, in
schools they and the Yeah, that's fine, I'll hold hands
with you on that one, but not in a gay way.
These guys were antagonists and horrible, right, and I love
(05:31):
that the Patriot Guard writers would not give them their platform.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Another thing that they.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Do, the Patriot Guard writers is do things like what's
happening today at the Omaha National Cemetery this afternoon. They
will start at about one hundred and forty fourth and
corn Husker, and then they'll head down I eighty and
then hang a Louis on three seventy where they will well,
is it three seventy or one hundred and forty four,
(05:59):
They'll yeah, three seventy, They'll they'll hang a Louis on
three seventy. They're at the Omaha National Cemetery. And now
I gotta check myself to see if that's three seventy
or Highway fifty. Anyway, they're going to go out to
Omaha National Cemetery. They'll arrive there about two forty five
(06:20):
and at three point thirty there will be a ceremony
for the unaccompanied veterans. These are people who have served
our nation in the United States military. And I'm now
correcting myself. Yeah, it is off one hundred and forty four.
It's Highway fifty, not three seventy.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
My bad.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
So they're off one hundred and forty fourth in Shram Road,
just south of the interstate is where you'll find Omaha
National Cemetery at three thirty today, they're going to under
the following veterans unaccompanied veterans because they've died over the
last couple of years with no known surviving family members
to be present for a ceremony for them. These are
(07:09):
the names that we should know or if we're not
going to remember these and we won't. I mean, it's
not like their Kardashians or anyone real important, but let's
honor these names. Navy Ensign James Frye dou Vietnam veteran,
died May thirtieth last year at the age of seventy four.
(07:31):
Army Specialist Thomas Michael Wiese, Cold War veteran died October thirtieth,
twenty twenty four. He was eighty six. Marine Private first
class Gerald Lee Gamble Vietnam VET. Died January twenty eighth,
twenty twenty five, at the age of seventy four. Senior
Airman Arnold James Wilson, veteran of the Cold War, died
(07:53):
October first, at twenty twenty five. He was seventy three.
Army staff Sergeant John Carmack Steele of Vietnam VET died
November twelfth, twenty twenty four, eighty seven years old. Army
Private Mark Allison Olds, cold War veteran, died just days
ago April twenty fourth, at the age of sixty eight,
(08:13):
and then also who passed last month was Army Private
E one Ricky Lee, Osborne veteran of the Cold War.
He was sixty two, and Marine Corporal Robert Theodore Born
junior Vietnam veteran, who also died last month at the
age of seventy. These eight area veterans with no known
surviving family members, will be honored three point thirty this
(08:36):
afternoon at Omaha National Cemetery. The Patriot Guard riders providing
the escort, and if you're so inclined, they'd love to
have you out there. That is open to the public.
Of course, it is free. Talk about the end of
an era, here's another one, very very different situation, and
(09:01):
maybe it's one that you take advantage of well in
the years to come. They're trying, they're talking about phasing
it out. I'll tell you what this is next. Scott
Vories News Radio eleven ten kfab AI Artificial intelligence and
its impact on what's going on not just online but
(09:24):
also with jobs, the CEO of crypto group Coinbase is
cutting a lot of their staff, fourteen percent of their staff,
and he says, oh, yeah, AI can handle all these jobs.
We don't need these people. There's another story here. The
op ed talked about this that there are people the
(09:47):
op eds in the New York Times, where people are
turning to AI to help them diagnose physical ailments, going
to AI rather than a doctor, and yeah, we've all
done it. You're like, my eyebrow hurts and you go
on web md and WebMD says, well, it's probably nothing,
(10:12):
or it could be eyebrow cancer. You're like, oh my gosh,
I knew it. I have eyebrow cancer. You know, we've
all done it. We go online with some symptoms, and
so people are doing the same thing with AI. I
have more examples of where this technology might be going
and how people like our children might end up using it.
(10:36):
But there's also something else that's going away that's not
at all AI based. In fact, quite the opposite. Now,
before we all freak out on this, you know how
you'll hear about a promotion at McDonald's and it'll say
something along the lines, hey, go play the Monopoly game
(10:58):
at McDonald's and then there's there's some sort of disclaimer
in there that says not all locations participate in this
promotion something like that. So it could be that there'll
be some McDonald's locations that decide we're we're okay, we're
not going to do this. We'll see how that goes.
(11:19):
McDonald's has put an expiration date on the pop machine.
They're inside the restaurant where you could get.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Where you can mix a whole bunch of different you
could you.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Could mix a whole bunch of different kind of drinks together,
make yourself. What is what we always called a suicide.
I don't know what today's kids are calling it. Probably
not that it's probably a little harsh. We grew up
with a very sick sense of humor, did gen X? Yeah,
but thankfully I don't. I don't ever put that fourth
on the radio. I do a great job of hiding
(11:54):
it every morning until ten am. I would not want
to be accused of being sick and insensitive in my
sense of humor, where I think pretty much everything's funny eventually. No,
this is your pop machine where you go into the
restaurant and he say I want this and I want that,
(12:15):
and I'll just get a small drink because I'm gonna
sit here and eat it, and I'm gonna fill it,
and i'm gonna guzzle it, and then i'm gonna refill it,
maybe guzzle that, and then I'm gonna refill it again,
and then I'm gonna leave.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
So you just got three drinks for the price of one.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Aren't you savvy? Well, McDonald says, that's enough of taking
advantage of our refill free drink situation. They're moving all
the pot machines behind the counter. This is not something
that's gonna happen immediately. The chain says, all self served
(12:51):
drink stations at all their fourteen thousand McDonald's restaurants, that's
just an omaha, will be gone by the year twenty
thirty two.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Twenty thirty two.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, so you've got a few years left to.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Just there planning ahead.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
All your mountain dew you want. And they say that
as restaurants remodel, they're still going to offer drinks. I mean,
you can still go in there and sit down and eat,
but probably a lot of their locations will not have
as much dine in service because there aren't a lot
of people that go and eat inside McDonald's anymore. There
(13:32):
are certainly people that go through the drive through.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Well, then why bother with getting rid of the machines
if nobody's in there anyway, if you're getting the drive through,
you get one drink.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Remind me to answer that question, because that is at
the end of this train of thought I'm clinging to.
People go through the drive through, and then people, an
increasing number of people have the food delivered to them,
and both of those instances you don't get, you know,
a refill. You know, hey, all you can refilled drink
in the drive through doesn't do you much good. Why
(14:05):
would they not want people to eat inside the restaurant? Well,
I don't think, and they're not saying this. Here's my
answer to your query, Lucy Chapman. There are really, more
often than not two different types of people who traditionally
eat inside of McDonald's, other than you know, people who
(14:27):
just like, I've got a quick lunch break and I
just want to sit down for a second, and they
go eat inside the restaurant, and that's fine. Traditionally, though,
those who tend to linger a little bit longer would
be senior citizens and then packs of teenagers or pre teenagers,
(14:48):
which are even worse. And so you get these kids
that go into McDonald's. You know, I don't know sixteen
of them and they're all eleven years old and they
go into McDonald's and they don't They each order a
small drink and they sit there for two hours, and
they're loud and they bother the customers and they get
(15:09):
twenty seven refills, like you drained all my doctor pepper.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
And they're loud.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
And cussing, and anytime you say, hey, can you guys
quiet down, stop cussing over there? You get what are
you good do about it? Trust me, I've dealt with it.
And I wonder if McDonald's are looking at they're looking
at this phenomenon and they're thinking, we've got to get
rid of these senior citizens, I mean, teenagers just seeing themselves,
(15:41):
just seeing if you're paying attention. So they're they're remodeling,
and that's one of the things that they say is
going away. And uh, I'm sad because my kids like
to get that drink. Well, we would always we ride
our bikes to our McDonald's and like we get up
on a Saturday morning when the kids were little, and
(16:02):
we'd ride our bikes up to McDonald's and we'd get
the breakfast McDonald's big breakfast that's got the sausage and
the eggs and the pancakes and a hash brown, oh,
the hash brow. And I'd let my kids get a
small drink and they'd go over there and they're like,
I'm gonna I'm gonna mix power Aid with doctor pepper
(16:22):
and a little bit of mountain dew. And you're like,
oh my gosh. And then they'd get sick on the
way we're peddling home. But it was great. We'd love
to go in there and eat. But it's just one
of those things that behaviors changed and people don't do
the things they used to do like they used to
do them.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Well, they already highly discourage ordering at the counter anyway,
because I'm one of those people that, even if it's
a place that I have been to a thousand times,
I like to go in because I want to take
my time to look and see if they've got specials.
I want to make sure they clearly what I say.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I'm always behind you in line.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
No, that's why every time inside, Oh every time, that's
why I don't go through.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
I'll be in a hurry to get nowhere, and I'll
go up to McDonald's and I'll see along two lines
going through both lanes of the drive through, and I
think I'm gonna beat them, And I would do this.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I park my car and say there's a red truck.
I would be behind. I got to get in and
out of McDonald's with my food before that red truck
gets its food of the drive through. It's a little
game I play, try and make life a little interesting. Clearly,
I don't do that on the radio. So I run
inside to order at the counter. The first thing I
get is a lot of times there's no one at
the counter. You gotta do the kiosk.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I'm going.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Just stop, just I just to talk to someone in order.
But the times I do get a chance to order someone,
I'm always behind Lucy Chapman, someone like Lucy who's looking
at both sides of the menu board. That's how you're wrong,
not realizing that the menu board repeats from the left
side over here to the right side, and you're looking
(18:06):
at both, going huh, do I want the quarter pounder
of cheese? Or oh, over here, you got a quarter
pounder with cheese. Maybe I'll get there, and you're looking
back and forth. It's McDonald's. They got the same stuff
they've had since you were a kid.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
I understand that, but they do change their menus sometimes,
and I don't know what I if. I don't know
what I want. I'm not standing in front of the
lady or the guy that's taking the order punching it
into the I am standing back. You can go right
around me. I'm not ready yet.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
No, I'm behind you.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
And and by the time I finally order and get
my food, the guy in the red truck is driving off,
flipping me off, laughing and on his way to his destination.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Scott By's News Radio eleven ten.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Key Fad, thank you very much for spending some time
with us here on news radio eleven ten. Babe, honestly,
thank you, especially when I love hearing from people to say.
I'd never listened to talk radio and a friend was
talking about something you said, and I was like, talk radio,
it's a boring and they said it's not, though, it's
(19:15):
these guys have fun and and it's a good vibe.
And I started listening and now I can't stop. We're
glad to have you hopelessly addicted. There is there is
no cure here for news radio eleven kfab that's Lucy Chapman.
I'm Scott Vorhees. Verbal crack here on the radio, especially
(19:37):
when you leave a microphone on. Hit it with a book, right,
gonna be all right? A couple of things here in
the science and technology front. Ashley Graham. Do you know
who she is?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
It's familiar.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
She's the model from Nebraska who was and the this
is I don't know she.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
She certainly embraced the term.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
But it turns out when you had a bunch of
models before who were roughly the dimensions of this pencil,
and they're like, oh, let's put a funny little dress
and hat on this and have her look like she
hasn't eaten in seven weeks and give her some big
pouty lips and some sunken eyes, and everyone was.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Like, wow, is that hot? Like really?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
So then here comes Ashley Graham out of Nebraska and
she's she's she looks like a woman. Yeah, she's got
a few curves, and so they're like, oh, she's plus sized,
is she? Or is it just that the other models
on the runway are the basically the same dimensions as
(20:43):
my pinky finger, which is not especially bulbous. So here
comes Ashley Graham and uh so she got some attention.
Is oh, here's a here's a real woman model, she
plus size and all the rest of this stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
And uh and.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
People treated her like they put lipstick on a beluga
whale and then rolled it out in the runway and said.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Hey, look at this.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
How about Well now they've gone to Ashley Graham and
she's done an interview with Marie Claire magazine, and she
doesn't like all the people taking these type of ozembic
GLP one drugs. She says, it's hurting the body positivity movement. Now, Ashley,
it's hurting their bodies too, Nebraska Zone, Ashley. She's not
(21:29):
talking about that the long term effects of what happens
with these GLP ones. And there are some people who
are like, yeah, I love that I lost weight and
I feel better when I look at myself in the mirror,
and I'm buying new clothes and I have this new confidence.
Now my breath smells like the cat just went in it.
But you know, so that's one of those things. And
people have been had. They've had various side effects related
(21:54):
to this, but a lot of people are willing to
forego the side effects because of what they see looking
back the mirror at them and how they feel about that.
That's great. I hope it is our hope that more
often than not we look at the mirror and we
don't hate what we see that causes us to get
(22:14):
depressed and spiral downward. Whether that's resignation or confidence, it's
a lot better than depression. I'm in the resignation stage,
and like a vampire, I've just gone to checking out
all the mirrors in my house. I don't need to
see this. Why is there a picture of my grandpa?
(22:36):
Oh that's a mirror. Dang h So that's a whole
separate thing. What Ashley's talking about is hey, if you're big,
you can be beautiful. And yeah, well, Ashley, the reason
why you're you got celebrated for being beautiful is because
you're beautiful. She is a beautiful woman. And I don't
know how else to say this. You're not that fat,
(22:58):
I mean, I mean, I can't think of a less
infuriating way.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Of saying it.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
You're not that big, Like I said, gen X people
used to be fat, right, Yeah, and that's just how
it was, And so Ashley Graham, I wouldn't call her fat.
She doesn't look like Kate Moss, the waf model supermodel
(23:25):
of the nineties. But when she came out in the
two thousands, Ashley Graham, she looked great and she's beautiful,
and she carries herself with confidence. She has a great smile.
She's from Nebraska. She's fantastic. Ashley a lot of the people.
If we're talking about women here, because I think it's
always important for guys to go on the radio and
(23:45):
talk about the physical attributes of women. I think that
society craves this. I think we need more of it,
so I'll do it. And Ashley, a lot of the
women who are taking these drugs, they're not runway models.
They don't they're not beautiful. They don't see beautiful when
(24:07):
they look at themselves in the mirror, and they take
these drugs and they're losing weight, not only on their bodies.
Some of them have decided, Oh, I realized that after
I started looking better and getting more compliments and feeling
better about myself, that the situation I was in with
this lard I've been married to for eight years. I
(24:29):
can do better than that. I settled with this guy.
So sorry, Carl, I'm leaving you. And so not only
did you lose one hundred and fifty pounds of your
own weight, but you also lost three hundred and twenty
pounds of that guy and your life is better now
because of that. And these people feel great about themselves
and we should celebrate that and hope that there's no
(24:52):
side effects. That says, Hey, by the way, when you
turn fifty three, you spontaneously combust into a pile of goo.
Hopefully that doesn't have happen. So, Ashley, you should know
more than anyone if whatever someone needs to do to
feel better about themselves, and even if that answer is nothing.
(25:12):
There's a woman on a motorized scooter who goes up
and down way too close to the cars on West
Maple every once in a while. It's like like a
TV character. She wears a big Paisley moomoo and she
rides a motorized scooter and she's I'll put it this way.
(25:35):
I shouldn't put it this way if she hits a
mac truck them all right, I'm just saying she's well,
let's be fair, she's.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Not going to hit a mac truck, a motorized scooter.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
The mack truck, she's really close to the road, and
so that's awful. The mac truck would be in better
it would be in worse shape. So that's what I'm saying.
But maybe she's at the point in their life she's like,
I've never looked better. And yeah, I'm big and I'm sassy,
(26:13):
and I'm brassy, and I'm fun and I laugh a lot,
and not just when I'm out in public to mask things.
This is honestly who I am. I'm big and happy,
and that's great. If that's the case, fantastic. I could
give a rip. So I don't know people are taking
these drugs. I hope it's all working out on every
(26:35):
single level for them and will from now until the
end of time. I'm glad these drugs exist. You know why,
because I'm trending. I'm not overweight, but I will be,
and I'm not going to work hard to take the
weight off slowly over time like I put it on.
I want a drug that takes the weight off by Tuesday.
And that's why I'm glad that these things exist. I
(26:57):
am always looking to cut corners. You give me an
easy way out, I will take it, and I will
run over your mom to get there. So I'm glad
these drugs exist. Robert Kennedy Junior, he's our secretary of health.
He is making a new move to push back on
people taking so many anti depressants. He says, it's been
(27:22):
over prescribed and there are a lot of people on
them who shouldn't be on them. It's masking other symptoms
that these doctors are like, well, we can either treat that,
but they probably don't want to hear that. Instead, I'll
write them a prescription and then come back here and
get it filled, and I get paid and we all
move on with our lives. He says, we can do
better than that. Of course, he's getting pushed back because
(27:45):
he's our FK Junior. The American Psychiatric Association objected to
what it calls a blanket over prescribing hypothesis by RFK
and says, don't stop taking your drugs because RFK Junior
is saying, take one of these drugs. Maybe you'll be fine,
or maybe you'll go and shoot up a bus station.
(28:05):
We don't know you know he's like, look, let's focus
on each individual rather than blanket yes or blanket no.
I find that to be perfectly legitimate. Let's see if
he's able to do it. But what are we as
a society going to do with AI technology as it
relates to our physicality and what we see in the mirror?
(28:32):
I will tell you next Scott Voice, And by the
time I go to it, all the artists I want
to see will all be dead and gone and not
touring anymore, and I won't know who's there. All right,
Jean Stothard is here to host the kfab comment line.
Can I tell people where you were last week?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Can we do that? I'm gonna talk about it. Okay, excellent? There?
Can you rattle that microphone more?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
This Mike forget how to do radio, So I'm trying
to It's the new he was thing in our studio.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
It is not a bill two dirty and Goppy doing that.
So you were at the I was at the New
Orleans Jazz Festival, Jazz and Heritage Festival, and it was fun.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Which features a lot of artists who are neither jazz
nor blues. There's a lot of rock pops.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
Oh yes, it's over two weekends. Stevie Nicks was there
last week and missed her. The big show this past
weekend were the Eagles and there was approximately I had
a good seat too.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
You bring your chairs. One hundred and fifty thousand people. Cool.
I gotta go to that. You would love it.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Great festival and it's in New Orleans, which is a
very very cool, big easy that's what they call you.
So we got Jeans Douthard back for Sorry. The kfab
comment line comes up here in fourteen minutes on news
radio eleven ten KFAB. I'll let her talk more about
any of her concert experiences out there at that show.
(29:57):
Lucy Chapman there, I'm Scott Voh, he's this is news
right eleven kfab. So what are we gonna do with
the hybrid? We talked this hour a little bit about
artificial intelligence and a little bit about what we're doing
scientifically with and tow our bodies, from GLP ones to antidepressants.
What's the hybrid of this and really where is AI going?
(30:20):
I think it's going towards designer babies. This is something.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Designer babies have been around for a while.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Then it's a growing movement but AI is finding new
ways to make designer babies. Now, look, if I could,
if I could go back and tweak some things about
my children, you.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Wouldn't change a thing.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
I wouldn't change a thing. That's right, That's what I
was gonna say.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
But just a just a.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Fantasize. It's throw it out there, you know, what do
you do? And the people are like, all right, I
want a kid who is resistant to getting whatever cancer
or something like that. We want to we want to
take out any of that. Like, I don't know how
that would work. I want someone who is tall, attractive, athletic.
(31:23):
I want Jean Stothard. And then you have a baby
that comes out looking like Jean Stothard. And she's like,
I don't I don't want that rattle. That rattle is
not fair. I want a rattle.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
I know you didn't pick me an example as an example,
because I'm not that tall.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
You get a you get a baby, you get Jean
Stothard as a baby, and uh and all the other
kids are just you know, riding their their big wheels
and bicycles around on the street like normal people. And
she's like, I think we need a street car for
tricycles up down one side and down the other, you know,
and you're like, wow, this unintended, unintended concert quinances of
the designer Baby. No, honestly, they're talking about editing human
(32:07):
embryos to eliminate disease, to engineer children with potential enhanced intelligence,
better physical attributes.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Sounds like another guy who tried to do that in
the early first part of the last century. Not exactly medically.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Well, there is a phrase in here about modern day eugenics,
but not to weed out certain of those quality we're
not no, but characteristic. Yeah, well, yeah, I guess, but
I would say, let's say that people. Everyone's like, I
(32:49):
want my kid to be super smart and super athletic,
all right, So then what someday it's like, Yeah, the
home run race is coming down to the final weekend
in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
You've got.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Banky Fats McGee out there with two hundred and seventy
four home runs on the season. He's battling against Aaron
Judge Junior for he's got two hundred and seventy three
home runs this season and are going to be going
up to bat again later today in this final game.
I mean that's if they can get past strong Arm mcgillicutt,
(33:21):
he who throws five thousand miles an hour. I mean,
what are sports gonna look like if everyone's just really
smart and really athletic and none of them will end
up playing for Nebraska.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Somebody one hundred and fifty or two hundred years ago
could say the same thing about the athletes today that
they had then, but it wasn't for the same reason.
So everything is going to evolve.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Sorry, I suppose.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Well, you bear in mind the people are behind this
are probably also the same ones as plastic surgeons who
tell people like, hey, after I'm done with you, your
face is going to look great, and then they all
come out looking like the plant from Little Shop of Horrors.
So be careful what you wish for. Speaking of the
statuesque and athletic gene stout there at the kfabe comment
(34:05):
line is next
Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be? Everything is
all right? Tell me one thing that someone could complain
about today that that is some ill to society, something
that someone could look at here today and say, I
don't think that's a that's very good.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Nothing. Everything's perfect.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
And the moment that I started talking about this, it
just got better.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Can you believe it?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It's amazing. I'm Scott Vorhees. Lucy Chapman's right there.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I don't even know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
This is news Radio eleven ten kfab Well, that is
the theme of the show. Now, before we get into
a few other things here, I want to once again
read these names because I am a huge fan of
the Patriot Guard writers. These are the guys who first
got on my radar when that cult from Topeka would
(00:59):
come up and they decided, all right, we're done protesting
outside of concerts, especially concerts where there might be a
gay individual singing a song. And they decided to go
out there and hold all their signs talking about how
they they don't like that kind of thing. Okay, well
(01:21):
then maybe don't buy a ticket and go see that show.
Is someone forcing them? And maybe remember this the cult
I think they're dying out. This was a cult in
Topeka called the Westboro Baptist Church.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I was on the radio for eight years in Kansas City,
and every once in a while, one of them, including
their leader Fred, would call into the show. And the
first couple of times I tried to argue with them
until I realized, what am I going to say that's
going to cause him to do anything other than just
come on and start cussing on the radio. So then
(02:04):
I just started to have some fun with him, including
he would start to talk and then I would I
would start a song and I would just kind of
push it a little bit louder, a little bit louder,
a little bit loud, until eventually this song was drowning
him out. And the song was I Want Your Sex
by George Michael, because you really do that?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I couldn't think of anything gay.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Who was I I was here in Kansas City. I'm
sorry I missed.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
You were here, So.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I don't I don't like these people, but it was
kind of funny to mess with them a little bit
until they started protesting outside of the funerals of American
service members. Why because they wanted to get punched. This
was a group of people who survived based on whether
(03:02):
it was settlements out of court or court decisions that
awarded the money. Because eventually, at some point someone comes
up and says, this is the funeral from my brother,
and then they would say something really vile and hateful
to someone who did not deserve it, and people couldn't
help themselves. They thought this will be great, I'm gonna
lay this mother out and they punch a guy and
(03:25):
they're like, ooh, sue. You know, they all got it
on video, and they sue and they get paid. It's
the only thing that was keeping them alive financially is
getting punched. Hey, Bud Crawford, did it? You know you
get paid by getting punched. That's what these guys wanted
to do. The Patriot Guard Riders, and I'm I imagine
(03:48):
they existed before all these funeral protests. They would as
a big scary motorcycle riders. They would line the streets
because these cult members wouldn't be allowed to go in
the street, and so they would always position themselves along
(04:08):
a funeral procession or outside a cemetery where the families
coming in would see them. Obviously, again in hopes that
someone would get out and punch them and they would
get paid. The Patriot Guard Writers were allowed by police
to be in the streets, and so they would provide
a further escort for the funeral procession and always take
(04:29):
up tactical positions in the street with themselves, their own
signs and big American flags, so that the family going
into the cemetery would not see what was on the
other side of that sign, which was the protesters.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Love that.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Vile, disgusting, very unchristian, satanic group.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I said it, you did, and look and there be
people say, but the Bible on homos such, well, all right.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Then that's the don'ts a separate issue? Then don't go
make out with the guy.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Right, And it's a issue based on what.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
They were doing.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Let me let me know if I can solve any
other problems for you. But look, and we talk about it.
This has nothing that the separate issue is. Well, in
schools they and the Yeah, that's fine, I'll hold hands
with you on that one, but not in a gay way.
These guys were antagonists and horrible, right, and I love
(05:31):
that the Patriot Guard writers would not give them their platform.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Another thing that they.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Do, the Patriot Guard writers is do things like what's
happening today at the Omaha National Cemetery this afternoon. They
will start at about one hundred and forty fourth and
corn Husker, and then they'll head down I eighty and
then hang a Louis on three seventy where they will well,
is it three seventy or one hundred and forty four,
(05:59):
They'll yeah, three seventy, They'll they'll hang a Louis on
three seventy. They're at the Omaha National Cemetery. And now
I gotta check myself to see if that's three seventy
or Highway fifty. Anyway, they're going to go out to
Omaha National Cemetery. They'll arrive there about two forty five
(06:20):
and at three point thirty there will be a ceremony
for the unaccompanied veterans. These are people who have served
our nation in the United States military. And I'm now
correcting myself. Yeah, it is off one hundred and forty four.
It's Highway fifty, not three seventy.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
My bad.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
So they're off one hundred and forty fourth in Shram Road,
just south of the interstate is where you'll find Omaha
National Cemetery at three thirty today, they're going to under
the following veterans unaccompanied veterans because they've died over the
last couple of years with no known surviving family members
to be present for a ceremony for them. These are
(07:09):
the names that we should know or if we're not
going to remember these and we won't. I mean, it's
not like their Kardashians or anyone real important, but let's
honor these names. Navy Ensign James Frye dou Vietnam veteran,
died May thirtieth last year at the age of seventy four.
(07:31):
Army Specialist Thomas Michael Wiese, Cold War veteran died October thirtieth,
twenty twenty four. He was eighty six. Marine Private first
class Gerald Lee Gamble Vietnam VET. Died January twenty eighth,
twenty twenty five, at the age of seventy four. Senior
Airman Arnold James Wilson, veteran of the Cold War, died
(07:53):
October first, at twenty twenty five. He was seventy three.
Army staff Sergeant John Carmack Steele of Vietnam VET died
November twelfth, twenty twenty four, eighty seven years old. Army
Private Mark Allison Olds, cold War veteran, died just days
ago April twenty fourth, at the age of sixty eight,
(08:13):
and then also who passed last month was Army Private
E one Ricky Lee, Osborne veteran of the Cold War.
He was sixty two, and Marine Corporal Robert Theodore Born
junior Vietnam veteran, who also died last month at the
age of seventy. These eight area veterans with no known
surviving family members, will be honored three point thirty this
(08:36):
afternoon at Omaha National Cemetery. The Patriot Guard riders providing
the escort, and if you're so inclined, they'd love to
have you out there. That is open to the public.
Of course, it is free. Talk about the end of
an era, here's another one, very very different situation, and
(09:01):
maybe it's one that you take advantage of well in
the years to come. They're trying, they're talking about phasing
it out. I'll tell you what this is next. Scott
Vories News Radio eleven ten kfab AI Artificial intelligence and
its impact on what's going on not just online but
(09:24):
also with jobs, the CEO of crypto group Coinbase is
cutting a lot of their staff, fourteen percent of their staff,
and he says, oh, yeah, AI can handle all these jobs.
We don't need these people. There's another story here. The
op ed talked about this that there are people the
(09:47):
op eds in the New York Times, where people are
turning to AI to help them diagnose physical ailments, going
to AI rather than a doctor, and yeah, we've all
done it. You're like, my eyebrow hurts and you go
on web md and WebMD says, well, it's probably nothing,
(10:12):
or it could be eyebrow cancer. You're like, oh my gosh,
I knew it. I have eyebrow cancer. You know, we've
all done it. We go online with some symptoms, and
so people are doing the same thing with AI. I
have more examples of where this technology might be going
and how people like our children might end up using it.
(10:36):
But there's also something else that's going away that's not
at all AI based. In fact, quite the opposite. Now,
before we all freak out on this, you know how
you'll hear about a promotion at McDonald's and it'll say
something along the lines, hey, go play the Monopoly game
(10:58):
at McDonald's and then there's there's some sort of disclaimer
in there that says not all locations participate in this
promotion something like that. So it could be that there'll
be some McDonald's locations that decide we're we're okay, we're
not going to do this. We'll see how that goes.
(11:19):
McDonald's has put an expiration date on the pop machine.
They're inside the restaurant where you could get.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Where you can mix a whole bunch of different you
could you.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Could mix a whole bunch of different kind of drinks together,
make yourself. What is what we always called a suicide.
I don't know what today's kids are calling it. Probably
not that it's probably a little harsh. We grew up
with a very sick sense of humor, did gen X? Yeah,
but thankfully I don't. I don't ever put that fourth
on the radio. I do a great job of hiding
(11:54):
it every morning until ten am. I would not want
to be accused of being sick and insensitive in my
sense of humor, where I think pretty much everything's funny eventually. No,
this is your pop machine where you go into the
restaurant and he say I want this and I want that,
(12:15):
and I'll just get a small drink because I'm gonna
sit here and eat it, and I'm gonna fill it,
and i'm gonna guzzle it, and then i'm gonna refill it,
maybe guzzle that, and then I'm gonna refill it again,
and then I'm gonna leave.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
So you just got three drinks for the price of one.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Aren't you savvy? Well, McDonald says, that's enough of taking
advantage of our refill free drink situation. They're moving all
the pot machines behind the counter. This is not something
that's gonna happen immediately. The chain says, all self served
(12:51):
drink stations at all their fourteen thousand McDonald's restaurants, that's
just an omaha, will be gone by the year twenty
thirty two.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Twenty thirty two.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, so you've got a few years left to.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Just there planning ahead.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
All your mountain dew you want. And they say that
as restaurants remodel, they're still going to offer drinks. I mean,
you can still go in there and sit down and eat,
but probably a lot of their locations will not have
as much dine in service because there aren't a lot
of people that go and eat inside McDonald's anymore. There
(13:32):
are certainly people that go through the drive through.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Well, then why bother with getting rid of the machines
if nobody's in there anyway, if you're getting the drive through,
you get one drink.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Remind me to answer that question, because that is at
the end of this train of thought I'm clinging to.
People go through the drive through, and then people, an
increasing number of people have the food delivered to them,
and both of those instances you don't get, you know,
a refill. You know, hey, all you can refilled drink
in the drive through doesn't do you much good. Why
(14:05):
would they not want people to eat inside the restaurant? Well,
I don't think, and they're not saying this. Here's my
answer to your query, Lucy Chapman. There are really, more
often than not two different types of people who traditionally
eat inside of McDonald's, other than you know, people who
(14:27):
just like, I've got a quick lunch break and I
just want to sit down for a second, and they
go eat inside the restaurant, and that's fine. Traditionally, though,
those who tend to linger a little bit longer would
be senior citizens and then packs of teenagers or pre teenagers,
(14:48):
which are even worse. And so you get these kids
that go into McDonald's. You know, I don't know sixteen
of them and they're all eleven years old and they
go into McDonald's and they don't They each order a
small drink and they sit there for two hours, and
they're loud and they bother the customers and they get
(15:09):
twenty seven refills, like you drained all my doctor pepper.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
And they're loud.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
And cussing, and anytime you say, hey, can you guys
quiet down, stop cussing over there? You get what are
you good do about it? Trust me, I've dealt with it.
And I wonder if McDonald's are looking at they're looking
at this phenomenon and they're thinking, we've got to get
rid of these senior citizens, I mean, teenagers just seeing themselves,
(15:41):
just seeing if you're paying attention. So they're they're remodeling,
and that's one of the things that they say is
going away. And uh, I'm sad because my kids like
to get that drink. Well, we would always we ride
our bikes to our McDonald's and like we get up
on a Saturday morning when the kids were little, and
(16:02):
we'd ride our bikes up to McDonald's and we'd get
the breakfast McDonald's big breakfast that's got the sausage and
the eggs and the pancakes and a hash brown, oh,
the hash brow. And I'd let my kids get a
small drink and they'd go over there and they're like,
I'm gonna I'm gonna mix power Aid with doctor pepper
(16:22):
and a little bit of mountain dew. And you're like,
oh my gosh. And then they'd get sick on the
way we're peddling home. But it was great. We'd love
to go in there and eat. But it's just one
of those things that behaviors changed and people don't do
the things they used to do like they used to
do them.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Well, they already highly discourage ordering at the counter anyway,
because I'm one of those people that, even if it's
a place that I have been to a thousand times,
I like to go in because I want to take
my time to look and see if they've got specials.
I want to make sure they clearly what I say.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
I'm always behind you in line.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
No, that's why every time inside, Oh every time, that's
why I don't go through.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
I'll be in a hurry to get nowhere, and I'll
go up to McDonald's and I'll see along two lines
going through both lanes of the drive through, and I
think I'm gonna beat them, And I would do this.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I park my car and say there's a red truck.
I would be behind. I got to get in and
out of McDonald's with my food before that red truck
gets its food of the drive through. It's a little
game I play, try and make life a little interesting. Clearly,
I don't do that on the radio. So I run
inside to order at the counter. The first thing I
get is a lot of times there's no one at
the counter. You gotta do the kiosk.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I'm going.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Just stop, just I just to talk to someone in order.
But the times I do get a chance to order someone,
I'm always behind Lucy Chapman, someone like Lucy who's looking
at both sides of the menu board. That's how you're wrong,
not realizing that the menu board repeats from the left
side over here to the right side, and you're looking
(18:06):
at both, going huh, do I want the quarter pounder
of cheese? Or oh, over here, you got a quarter
pounder with cheese. Maybe I'll get there, and you're looking
back and forth. It's McDonald's. They got the same stuff
they've had since you were a kid.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
I understand that, but they do change their menus sometimes,
and I don't know what I if. I don't know
what I want. I'm not standing in front of the
lady or the guy that's taking the order punching it
into the I am standing back. You can go right
around me. I'm not ready yet.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
No, I'm behind you.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
And and by the time I finally order and get
my food, the guy in the red truck is driving off,
flipping me off, laughing and on his way to his destination.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Scott By's News Radio eleven ten.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Key Fad, thank you very much for spending some time
with us here on news radio eleven ten. Babe, honestly,
thank you, especially when I love hearing from people to say.
I'd never listened to talk radio and a friend was
talking about something you said, and I was like, talk radio,
it's a boring and they said it's not, though, it's
(19:15):
these guys have fun and and it's a good vibe.
And I started listening and now I can't stop. We're
glad to have you hopelessly addicted. There is there is
no cure here for news radio eleven kfab that's Lucy Chapman.
I'm Scott Vorhees. Verbal crack here on the radio, especially
(19:37):
when you leave a microphone on. Hit it with a book, right,
gonna be all right? A couple of things here in
the science and technology front. Ashley Graham. Do you know
who she is?
Speaker 3 (19:48):
It's familiar.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
She's the model from Nebraska who was and the this
is I don't know she.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
She certainly embraced the term.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
But it turns out when you had a bunch of
models before who were roughly the dimensions of this pencil,
and they're like, oh, let's put a funny little dress
and hat on this and have her look like she
hasn't eaten in seven weeks and give her some big
pouty lips and some sunken eyes, and everyone was.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Like, wow, is that hot? Like really?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
So then here comes Ashley Graham out of Nebraska and
she's she's she looks like a woman. Yeah, she's got
a few curves, and so they're like, oh, she's plus sized,
is she? Or is it just that the other models
on the runway are the basically the same dimensions as
(20:43):
my pinky finger, which is not especially bulbous. So here
comes Ashley Graham and uh so she got some attention.
Is oh, here's a here's a real woman model, she
plus size and all the rest of this stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
And uh and.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
People treated her like they put lipstick on a beluga
whale and then rolled it out in the runway and said.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Hey, look at this.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
How about Well now they've gone to Ashley Graham and
she's done an interview with Marie Claire magazine, and she
doesn't like all the people taking these type of ozembic
GLP one drugs. She says, it's hurting the body positivity movement. Now, Ashley,
it's hurting their bodies too, Nebraska Zone, Ashley. She's not
(21:29):
talking about that the long term effects of what happens
with these GLP ones. And there are some people who
are like, yeah, I love that I lost weight and
I feel better when I look at myself in the mirror,
and I'm buying new clothes and I have this new confidence.
Now my breath smells like the cat just went in it.
But you know, so that's one of those things. And
people have been had. They've had various side effects related
(21:54):
to this, but a lot of people are willing to
forego the side effects because of what they see looking
back the mirror at them and how they feel about that.
That's great. I hope it is our hope that more
often than not we look at the mirror and we
don't hate what we see that causes us to get
(22:14):
depressed and spiral downward. Whether that's resignation or confidence, it's
a lot better than depression. I'm in the resignation stage,
and like a vampire, I've just gone to checking out
all the mirrors in my house. I don't need to
see this. Why is there a picture of my grandpa?
(22:36):
Oh that's a mirror. Dang h So that's a whole
separate thing. What Ashley's talking about is hey, if you're big,
you can be beautiful. And yeah, well, Ashley, the reason
why you're you got celebrated for being beautiful is because
you're beautiful. She is a beautiful woman. And I don't
know how else to say this. You're not that fat,
(22:58):
I mean, I mean, I can't think of a less
infuriating way.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Of saying it.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
You're not that big, Like I said, gen X people
used to be fat, right, Yeah, and that's just how
it was, And so Ashley Graham, I wouldn't call her fat.
She doesn't look like Kate Moss, the waf model supermodel
(23:25):
of the nineties. But when she came out in the
two thousands, Ashley Graham, she looked great and she's beautiful,
and she carries herself with confidence. She has a great smile.
She's from Nebraska. She's fantastic. Ashley a lot of the people.
If we're talking about women here, because I think it's
always important for guys to go on the radio and
(23:45):
talk about the physical attributes of women. I think that
society craves this. I think we need more of it,
so I'll do it. And Ashley, a lot of the
women who are taking these drugs, they're not runway models.
They don't they're not beautiful. They don't see beautiful when
(24:07):
they look at themselves in the mirror, and they take
these drugs and they're losing weight, not only on their bodies.
Some of them have decided, Oh, I realized that after
I started looking better and getting more compliments and feeling
better about myself, that the situation I was in with
this lard I've been married to for eight years. I
(24:29):
can do better than that. I settled with this guy.
So sorry, Carl, I'm leaving you. And so not only
did you lose one hundred and fifty pounds of your
own weight, but you also lost three hundred and twenty
pounds of that guy and your life is better now
because of that. And these people feel great about themselves
and we should celebrate that and hope that there's no
(24:52):
side effects. That says, Hey, by the way, when you
turn fifty three, you spontaneously combust into a pile of goo.
Hopefully that doesn't have happen. So, Ashley, you should know
more than anyone if whatever someone needs to do to
feel better about themselves, and even if that answer is nothing.
(25:12):
There's a woman on a motorized scooter who goes up
and down way too close to the cars on West
Maple every once in a while. It's like like a
TV character. She wears a big Paisley moomoo and she
rides a motorized scooter and she's I'll put it this way.
(25:35):
I shouldn't put it this way if she hits a
mac truck them all right, I'm just saying she's well,
let's be fair, she's.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Not going to hit a mac truck, a motorized scooter.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
The mack truck, she's really close to the road, and
so that's awful. The mac truck would be in better
it would be in worse shape. So that's what I'm saying.
But maybe she's at the point in their life she's like,
I've never looked better. And yeah, I'm big and I'm sassy,
(26:13):
and I'm brassy, and I'm fun and I laugh a lot,
and not just when I'm out in public to mask things.
This is honestly who I am. I'm big and happy,
and that's great. If that's the case, fantastic. I could
give a rip. So I don't know people are taking
these drugs. I hope it's all working out on every
(26:35):
single level for them and will from now until the
end of time. I'm glad these drugs exist. You know why,
because I'm trending. I'm not overweight, but I will be,
and I'm not going to work hard to take the
weight off slowly over time like I put it on.
I want a drug that takes the weight off by Tuesday.
And that's why I'm glad that these things exist. I
(26:57):
am always looking to cut corners. You give me an
easy way out, I will take it, and I will
run over your mom to get there. So I'm glad
these drugs exist. Robert Kennedy Junior, he's our secretary of health.
He is making a new move to push back on
people taking so many anti depressants. He says, it's been
(27:22):
over prescribed and there are a lot of people on
them who shouldn't be on them. It's masking other symptoms
that these doctors are like, well, we can either treat that,
but they probably don't want to hear that. Instead, I'll
write them a prescription and then come back here and
get it filled, and I get paid and we all
move on with our lives. He says, we can do
better than that. Of course, he's getting pushed back because
(27:45):
he's our FK Junior. The American Psychiatric Association objected to
what it calls a blanket over prescribing hypothesis by RFK
and says, don't stop taking your drugs because RFK Junior
is saying, take one of these drugs. Maybe you'll be fine,
or maybe you'll go and shoot up a bus station.
(28:05):
We don't know you know he's like, look, let's focus
on each individual rather than blanket yes or blanket no.
I find that to be perfectly legitimate. Let's see if
he's able to do it. But what are we as
a society going to do with AI technology as it
relates to our physicality and what we see in the mirror?
(28:32):
I will tell you next Scott Voice, And by the
time I go to it, all the artists I want
to see will all be dead and gone and not
touring anymore, and I won't know who's there. All right,
Jean Stothard is here to host the kfab comment line.
Can I tell people where you were last week?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Can we do that? I'm gonna talk about it. Okay, excellent? There?
Can you rattle that microphone more?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
This Mike forget how to do radio, So I'm trying
to It's the new he was thing in our studio.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
It is not a bill two dirty and Goppy doing that.
So you were at the I was at the New
Orleans Jazz Festival, Jazz and Heritage Festival, and it was fun.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Which features a lot of artists who are neither jazz
nor blues. There's a lot of rock pops.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
Oh yes, it's over two weekends. Stevie Nicks was there
last week and missed her. The big show this past
weekend were the Eagles and there was approximately I had
a good seat too.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
You bring your chairs. One hundred and fifty thousand people. Cool.
I gotta go to that. You would love it.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Great festival and it's in New Orleans, which is a
very very cool, big easy that's what they call you.
So we got Jeans Douthard back for Sorry. The kfab
comment line comes up here in fourteen minutes on news
radio eleven ten KFAB. I'll let her talk more about
any of her concert experiences out there at that show.
(29:57):
Lucy Chapman there, I'm Scott Voh, he's this is news
right eleven kfab. So what are we gonna do with
the hybrid? We talked this hour a little bit about
artificial intelligence and a little bit about what we're doing
scientifically with and tow our bodies, from GLP ones to antidepressants.
What's the hybrid of this and really where is AI going?
(30:20):
I think it's going towards designer babies. This is something.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Designer babies have been around for a while.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Then it's a growing movement but AI is finding new
ways to make designer babies. Now, look, if I could,
if I could go back and tweak some things about
my children, you.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Wouldn't change a thing.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
I wouldn't change a thing. That's right, That's what I
was gonna say.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
But just a just a.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Fantasize. It's throw it out there, you know, what do
you do? And the people are like, all right, I
want a kid who is resistant to getting whatever cancer
or something like that. We want to we want to
take out any of that. Like, I don't know how
that would work. I want someone who is tall, attractive, athletic.
(31:23):
I want Jean Stothard. And then you have a baby
that comes out looking like Jean Stothard. And she's like,
I don't I don't want that rattle. That rattle is
not fair. I want a rattle.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
I know you didn't pick me an example as an example,
because I'm not that tall.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
You get a you get a baby, you get Jean
Stothard as a baby, and uh and all the other
kids are just you know, riding their their big wheels
and bicycles around on the street like normal people. And
she's like, I think we need a street car for
tricycles up down one side and down the other, you know,
and you're like, wow, this unintended, unintended concert quinances of
the designer Baby. No, honestly, they're talking about editing human
(32:07):
embryos to eliminate disease, to engineer children with potential enhanced intelligence,
better physical attributes.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Sounds like another guy who tried to do that in
the early first part of the last century. Not exactly medically.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Well, there is a phrase in here about modern day eugenics,
but not to weed out certain of those quality we're
not no, but characteristic. Yeah, well, yeah, I guess, but
I would say, let's say that people. Everyone's like, I
(32:49):
want my kid to be super smart and super athletic,
all right, So then what someday it's like, Yeah, the
home run race is coming down to the final weekend
in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
You've got.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Banky Fats McGee out there with two hundred and seventy
four home runs on the season. He's battling against Aaron
Judge Junior for he's got two hundred and seventy three
home runs this season and are going to be going
up to bat again later today in this final game.
I mean that's if they can get past strong Arm mcgillicutt,
(33:21):
he who throws five thousand miles an hour. I mean,
what are sports gonna look like if everyone's just really
smart and really athletic and none of them will end
up playing for Nebraska.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Somebody one hundred and fifty or two hundred years ago
could say the same thing about the athletes today that
they had then, but it wasn't for the same reason.
So everything is going to evolve.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Sorry, I suppose.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Well, you bear in mind the people are behind this
are probably also the same ones as plastic surgeons who
tell people like, hey, after I'm done with you, your
face is going to look great, and then they all
come out looking like the plant from Little Shop of Horrors.
So be careful what you wish for. Speaking of the
statuesque and athletic gene stout there at the kfabe comment
(34:05):
