Clips and interviews from KFAB's Morning News.
We explain why we feel bad for NEXT year's CWS fans, get Jim Rose hootin' and hollerin' about streetcars and West Virginia baseball, have a Husker Buzz with Sean Callahan, talk with Rex Burkhead about this month's golf fundraiser for the TeamJack Foundation, get disturbing details from Innocence Freed's Julie Shrader about human trafficking during the Series, and get Greg Wagner from NE Game and Parks sending us towards the weekend. And, oh yeah, the latest from Iran!
After more than an hour of severe weather coverage early this morning (not included in this podcast), we shift to talking about cleanup due to the storms, what Trump might do to Iran, and what some Knicks fans did to their own city after they WON!
As Neo-Nazis pour over Bar Habor's Zillow offerings, we also talk about the state of futbol in the USA, a notable anniversary in Omaha, a history of ballot harvesting in California, Trump's "West Wing" post, and more!
Ricketts got fired up when we asked him about something Dan Osborn said the other day!
And Jim "Hotty Toddy" Rose is back!
That is among the conversations from today's program, which also featured Ginger Hughes from Hope Cooperative Care leading into that conversation with the Governor, a Husker Buzz with Sean Callahan, Greg Wagner from NE Game and Parks, Scott's keg of cheese balls, and more!
Amidst the Camp + Care Radiothon today, we also compared data centers to your rotisserie chicken addiction, got an eye-popping stat from Candace Gregory from the Open Door Mission about our local homeless numbers, compared today's "cupping" marks to the scars our siblings gave us back in the day, and more!
An officer-involved shooting in Omaha, voting from IA to L.A., NOW Democrats having a problem with this candidate, and more!
Jordy dropped a baby-boots bombshell yesterday, it's election day in Iowa and Los Angeles, Trump is cussing out prime ministers, there's a bunch of Spanish on KFAB's iHeartRadio channel, Lucy's back -- there's a lot happening today!
And a sad timeline for Kellogg's, an optimistic tone from President Trump, a new chance for you to win money (and a cool flag!) while listening to KFAB, and more!
Someone needs to be brave enough to call out the spelling bee kids, and I'll do it if no one else will! Plus, Jim has never seen one of the greatest comedies of all time, Markwayne calls out sanctuary soccer fans, and much more!
We're going to tidy up downtown a bit for our visitors (not our taxpayers), the former first lady reveals her thoughts during her husband's debate disaster, Brinker and Buck get together while Clay takes a shot at the Huskers, and NioCorp CEO Mark Smith sheds some light on the progress being made in southeast Nebraska that could change the world.
Who should clean all this up (trash, crime, the language on this show...)?
Thankfully, it also began with an infusion of patriotism over Memorial Day weekend, Husker baseball and softball excitement (even with the newsworthy ejection!), and more!
Those topics are not necessarily in that order. We also tried rhino-tranq and GTA, took 40-year-olds shots of New Coke, talked to Greg Wagner from NE Game and Parks, and more!
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!
