Clips and interviews from KFAB's Morning News.
We talked this morning about bad teachers, Trump's plan to fix up DC, A.I., and more. One or two of these topics led to emails from several female members of KFAB Nation to "Please smack Jim Rose!"
As well as China now celebrating Russia, a "showboat" in Charlotte, and more!
Thanks to statements from these two elected officials, we have a lot to talk about this morning!
We're neither "DJs" nor "sarcastically happy," but I decided to title the podcast with a comment that popped up on the air right after a fun round of Jim and I yelling at each other (good naturedly) off the air. What did we talk about today? VIP snorkeling, NU's ticket policy, living in a retirement community, Jim's favorite clothing brands (yes, that came up), a visit from Greg Wagner from Game and Parks, and so much more!
Today, we give you a bit more election fallout, an invitation to this Saturday's noon dedication of the USS Omaha Memorial, updates on President Trump in China, and more!
Jim declares a winner in the NE-2 Dem race, NE GOP chair Mary Jane Truemper responds to Republican in-fighting, Rep. Mike Flood talks gas prices, Sean Callahan on the CSC ruling, and more!
Not just from Jim Rose and me, but from Sen. Ricketts, a Regent candidate, and lots of your emails and Talkback Mic messages. (Our "Official Conspiracy Theorist, Lucy Chapman, was restrained by a team of professionals who kept her busy with the UFO files dumped over the weekend.)
And college hackers, other teams coming for our QB recruit, Greg Wagner from NE Game and Parks, and more!
See if you pick up on that during today's conversation about Ted Turner! Also, we learn a lot about stud fees (no one asked), the hantavirus, and more.
At least it wasn't a bill from Omaha for $828! We did more than talk about dollar amounts this morning, we also talked about ... other stuff. (Did I mention I was out late last night?)
On this Cinco de Mayo, we also happen to be one week away from Nebraska's Primary Election Day. Douglas County Election Commissioner Danielle Jensen gives you all the rules on that, and Secretary of State challenger Scott Petersen talks about why he should get your vote. We also talk today about Rhule at the Derby, Lucy's gas tank, my farpin' problem with FARP, and more!
Today, it's gas prices, drought, a giant Golden Trump statue, Star Wars Day, and so much more!
What an odd news cycle, involving President Trump, Jimmy Kimmel, John Hinckley Jr, Chuck Grassley, the King of England, and many others. We discuss them all!
Why is this happening so often, and why do so many think it's so funny? (Maybe I just answered my own question.)
Plus: Emery Songer joins us for most of today's show while Jim Rose is out!
Today, we talk about the accusations against the Southern Poverty Law Center, Nebraska seniors leading the nation in getting scammed, "Trump Time" in Iran, in-state tuition for illegal immigrants, and more!
Plus, the latest round of Stothert v Ewing (detailed in the OWH today!), Ted Carter's "inappropriate relationship," whether a pink handgun is appropriate at a gender reveal party, and more!
I think this Air Force base is restricted, Wang, so don't tell 'em you're Jewish. Also, we talk today about the creepy man-child of Gretna, the NE-02 Dem Dilemma, and more -- as well as talk with Sen. Ricketts about Iran, taxes, and potential trouble at home (you can thank Rosie for that one).
Another week, another dangerously crazy person on the streets of Omaha for no good reason.
Meow, meow. Meow, meow, meow. Meow.
And who (else) is to blame for this? A judge? The laws? Walmart? We also talk today about Trump's turnaround on FISA, jury duty, AI KISS, and more.
We explore several different angles of this story that set off our emotions in Omaha yesterday. It's not the only thing we talked about (Sen. Ernst also joined the show at one point), but it's definitely the main topic.
We also got great news from the DCSO, a reminder for narco-terrorists, the Rock Hall Class of 2026, and more!
And President Trump is posting pictures of him as Jesus. I guess that's how we're starting this week!
Before that conversation with Sec. McMahon and Gov. Pillen about education, we talk about "President TACO," no room at daycare around here, car fires and coming storms, and so much more!
Or, at least, gets two weeks to get their affairs in order. Does this reprieve for Iran mean our gas prices come down as quickly as oil prices are dropping? NOT ON YOUR LIFE, PAL! Also: Why was Lucy gone yesterday? What would the DHHS Regional Director like you to eat for dinner tonight? And what the heck was that deal at UNL the other day about a guy with a gun? All is revealed on today's show!
Gary joins me this morning as we talk about Iran, Ewing's response to Stothert, college basketball (with Kent Pavelka!), "Tough Tony" Davis, and more!
I promise you, when I first saw this post on Easter morning, I thought it was a fake Trump account!
As usual, we covered (or "uncovered") it all today!
We respond to the President's speech last night, take a look at the crazy way the Unicameral filled in the budget deficit (with money we had sitting around -- who would have thought to do that?!?), update you on a controversial immigration case in Nebraska, and much much much mucho more!
Today, we provide you a Trumpdate, ABS assessment in MLB, an answer on whether being at 185% of the poverty line is being in poverty, a 40-years-too-late review of "Caddyshack II," and much more.
On today's show: MAHA vs Maha, Costas supports Olympic trans-ban, Ohio battles data centers, a steakhouse enforces a dress code, and more.
These protesters are amazing! We have a Final Four, we have rain on the way, we have Tiger in another car accident, but we still don't have a King!
Before the basketball game tonight, we have to talk about the social media verdict, the hand vs. train incident here in Omaha, and so much more!
It's going to get Smokey this summer, Lucy gets her "Cake," Creighton fans don't seem to think the sky is falling, ICE thins airport lines by murdering people or whatever Hakeem Jeffries thinks is happening, and much more today!
Big Red is in the Sweet Sixteen, the markets are soaring based on what the President just said about Iran, the weather will be beautiful this week ... so why am I (temporarily) having heartburn?
I hope you like basketball! It's certainly not the ONLY thing we talked about today (there was that enthralling conversation with Lucy about watering the lawn), but it came up a lot!
Important conversations from this morning's show while most of us were waiting for basketball to start: Scott Knudsen from the Patriot Guard Riders preparing for the metro's next military funeral procession next week; Platte Institute CEO Jim Vokal on the state budget shortfall and city wastewater expense controversy, and Nebraska Cattlemen president Craig Uden on how we can help the ag producers impacted by the sandhills wildfires.
Because everything was broken yesterday, our St. Patrick's Day show never posted here! So, I'm posting just our conversations with Sheriff Aaron Hanson (dog abuse case) and Sen. Pete Ricketts (wildfires, Iran, basketball).
A wildfire update, Lucy's "dumb question" about helping out the sandhills, Trump's latest defection, "sacrifice" here at home during the Iran conflict, and -- oh, yeah -- lots of basketball to consume inside with perfect weather outside. THIS is "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year."
Wildfires in the west, ice in the east, wind EVERYWHERE, and Nebraska basketball limping into the bracket. Madness.
Plus, our state budget fight, rumpled journalists admonished, Greg Wagner from NE Game and Parks, and more!
In today's edition of "Scotty Doesn't Know," we also cover the President's 180 on the oil reserves, a guest joining us live from Israel, Omaha falling out of love with a parade, baseball cards, rap battles in the Raising Cane's drive-thru, and more.
Why do we put up with her? Because sometimes she gives us perfect days like Monday! Also today: Another stadium proposed for Omaha, potential for "boots on the ground" in Iran, what is the SAVE America Act, and so much more it will blow your mind!
We get there midway through today's show, which also includes chit-chat about war with Iran, Gov. Pillen's war on ballot initiatives, the death of Boston's "lead singer," and more!
We gained an Ayatollah, lost an hour of sleep, cheered for our Husker seniors, and are taking it in the shorts at the pump and on Wall Street. What a way to start the week!
Noem's no more, Markwayne's up, Mayor's meeting with mad streetcar businesses, Sadlemyer and Wager stop by, Rosie's reducing NU's new QB to an iconic movie character -- there's a lot going on!
Baxter CEO Mickey Anderson played for Coach Holtz on that Notre Dame championship team, and takes us inside the locker room for that "Catholics vs Convicts" game! Later, Senators Joni Ernst and Deb Fischer talk about how we got to this point with Iran, and where we should be going. We also put Jim Rose in charge of Target, ask Lucy about the condition of her liver, discuss politicians' alleged affairs, and more.
