Rosie's Friday Leftovers

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is Friday, and is it October? The most beautiful
month of the year. October baptizes us in color. The
air is like cider, and the sky is so blue
you could drown in it. Of all the seasons, it
is autumn that offers the most to man while requiring
the least of him. We are building more things. In Nebraska,

(00:20):
Department of Economic Development says manufacturing jobs here are at
their highest level in twenty years. One hundred and nine
thousand full timers average salary eighty one thousand, not including benefits.
Nebraska manufacturing is a twenty two billion dollar annual business,
up nearly sixty percent from just five years ago. Eleven

(00:42):
days out and in the Big East, Trump leads Harris
in each of the toss up states, but by less
than a point, except in Georgia, where he's up two
and Arizona, where he's up one and a half. In
the Fisher Osborne Senate race, each say they are up
a little. Haven't seen a poll on Bacon Vargas for
a month. Remember, in campaigns, don't listen to what they say,

(01:04):
watch what they do. Embattled Senate Democrats Casey Baldwin and
Slotkin all in tight races are now running TV ads
showing how well they work with Donald Trump. If you
can't beat them, bribe them to shore up jen x
Y and Z votes. The Biden White House, in defiance

(01:25):
of a Supreme Court order, gave another four point five
billion in student loan debt relief to you and me
and froze payments for another eight million borrowers. So far,
we have picked up one hundred and seventy five billion
in student loans we didn't take out soon. Free the

(01:45):
Menendez boys, Lyle and Eric, locked up for thirty years
after murdering their parents. At the time, juries didn't believe
they were sexually abused. The DA up for reelection has
a letter from one of them, wrote to a cousin
a year before the shootings, detailing the molestation. So the
DA is recommending immediate release to a judge who gets

(02:07):
to decide. Vinnie Palermo, the disgraced former South Omaha City councilman,
is out back home, served nine of the twenty seven
months after getting wrapped up in a scheme to steal
charity funds, behaved himself on the inside. Prisons are overcrowded,
so they let guys like Vinnie out, Champions of Character
basketball coach Tony Bennett, who won a national title at Virginia,

(02:30):
let out more of why he abruptly retired, admits I
can't coach today's game. It's now about kids who only
come for the money and leave for more. In the
longest race in NASCAR history, fifty three years, two months,
and twenty three days, Bobby Allison has been declared the
winner NASCAR event at North Carolina's Bowman Gray Stadium August sixth,

(02:53):
nineteen seventy one. Allison was behind the wheel of a
Grand American Ford Mustang when he beat Richard Petty by
three That car was not recognized as a Cup car
until now, So that's eighty five NASCAR wins for Allison,
fourth best all time. We finally know the true identity
of Jack the Ripper serial killer who slit the throats

(03:15):
and a few other dastardly things to five prostitutes in
London slums one hundred thirty seven years ago, thanks to DNA.
Almost certainly Jack was Aaron Kosminski, Polish immigrant, one of
the victim's relatives. He died in nineteen nineteen, who is
the wealthiest model in the world, according to the online

(03:35):
list maker Stacker, at one point seven billion in net worth.
From her looks alone, Kim Kardashian, we may be killing
ourselves with a knife and fork. Europeans know they have
banned a long list of American produced foods, from fruit
loops to ground beef to coffee made coffee creamer from
entering their countries. That stuff may taste good, but we

(03:58):
really don't want to read the label. Meanwhile, the Denny's
restaurant chain announces plans to close one hundred and fifty
of its restaurants by this time next year. Profits are
off two point six million. The stock price is down
fifty percent. One more Sign of the Times meme sent
in by listener Katie. I wonder if clouds ever look

(04:19):
down on us and say that one is shaped like
an idiot
