Clips and interviews from KFAB's Morning News.
Today, we deal with local floods (and mudslides!), an attempted terror attack in the Middle East, a huge data center proposal in Nebraska, more problems for Maryland en route to a Memorial Stadium on the verge of losing our sellout streak, and more.
We talk some local politics (please listen anyway), bring in Sean for a Husker Buzz, respond to an incident at Burke, welcome Bruce Crawford to announce his next Omaha Film Event, and more!
Welcome to monsoon season in Nebraska. Today, we talk about the OPS "Moonshot," this poll showing Pillen in big trouble, whether Hillary has any friends, a Husker Buzz with Sean Callahan, stuffing bees down your pants, and more!
And that's just we start on this Monday morning, before also getting to a Husker Buzz with Sean Callahan, AI splitting up your marriage, executing women for crimes other than being a witch, and more!
We swap Jim Rose for Gov. Jim Pillen to make sure you get your morning fill of "Jim!" Also today: Muse musings, Richie in Papillion, Greg Wagner, and more!
Jim Rose returns to higher property taxes, a conference opponent, the President booting some media out of the White House, and a home-schooled young man in Fremont denied the chance to be a firefighter there. Also, we still have some donut left.
Pop a Natty Daddy or Mike's Harder Lemonade, charge it to the people of Douglas County, and enjoy today's show which also features Sen. Fischer, TP attacks in Iowa, a Husker Buzz with Sean Callahan, and more!
Once we figure out when Fall starts we're off and running this morning with topics like the latest ICE protests, human brains in mouse heads (Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?), a Husker Buzz with Sean Callahan, the financial possibilities of Lucy's womb, and more.
When Jim's in a mood like this, I feel it's my duty as an American to continue to provoke him. What set him off? Warren Buffett. We get into that, Dan Osborn vs. Union Pacific now, Sean Callahan and Ritchie in Papillion talking Huskers, Greg Wagner from NE Game and Parks, and whatever else we can squeeze into a Friday!
We get the classic non-apology from Dan Osborn, a Husker Buzz from Sean Callahan, pushback on my petty theft rant (which was a rant about petty theft, not a petty rant about theft) from Lucy, and more!
While much of the morning is spent on the latest leaked Dan Osborn audio, we also have Chuck Grassley losing his patience, a spicy Husker Buzz with Sean Callahan, Gary Sadlemyer stopping in for a bit, and more!
That's what we get for putting a guy from Oklahoma on the air, I guess -- smack talk right off the bat! We wouldn't have it any other way when talking with DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin (and Sen. Pete Ricketts), which comes up in today's show after Jim Rose weighing whether AI will kill him, a Husker Buzz with Sean Callahan, and plenty of wondering why Tom Cruise was with Taylor Swift last night. Or did that important discussion happen after Sec. Mullin was on? Either way: Enjoy today's show!
I hope all the AI-powered bots enjoy this podcast and our attempts at funny-ha-ha jokes, thus sparing us in the impending "AI"pocalypse.
This anniversary brings back all the feelings and memories. We sort through those (including some thoughts that bring smiles to our faces), talk with 50-Mile-Marcher Jodi Jefferson about our 9/12 feelings, Sean Callahan and Richie in Papillion about that Husker game 9 days after the attacks (and tomorrow night's game against Bowling Green), Greg Wagner from NE Game and Parks about the importance of enjoying time with family and friends, and more.
Trump is throwing money around, Pillen is being haunted by an old story, and Kirk has been gone a year.
No need to get your TSA PreCheck -- just get on board today's podcast!
Hey, the title of today's podcast rhymes! It may even be a haiku! If that alone doesn't entice you to listen to today's episode, then nothing I type here will make any difference.
There used to be a time when GAME OVER meant something, the Huskers would commit to the run, volleyball games were played indoors, murderous mothers were punished while good moms let their kids have a little freedom, and banks had your money when you asked for it -- but those times have apparently changed!
We get you set for Nebraska Football Season with Jim Rose, Sean Callahan, and Ritchie in Papillion! Plus, Rep. Flood on gas prices, Greg Wagner from NE Game and Parks, the jobs-number-predictor-analysts getting it dead wrong again, and much more!
On today's show: Feminism, HOAs, the Husker Buzz with Sean Callahan, the sad future for youth football in Nebraska, and more.
Jim is a little cranky this morning, upset that he lost an hour of his life to last night's debate. Brett Lindstrom stops by to shop his latest political party and gubernatorial bid. The ACLU and Gov. DeSantis are on the same side. It's that kind of morning!
And it's Game Week! GBR!
What's Lindstrom doing now? What's Trump doing now? How did the Big Red do last night? What is Greg Wagner doing at the State Fair? When did Jim Rose think he made a huge career mistake? How did Scott save Lucy from certain death? All is revealed in today's podcast!
The independent candidate for Senate addresses that (and a lot more) after a show that includes Nebraska AG Mike Hilgers on the Meta lawsuit (and $200 million possibly coming to our state), a former Prep student not letting things go, why I was once hanging out in Marian's locker room, and more!
Plus a Husker Buzz with Sean Callahan, volleyball season starts tomorrow, Darline advances, and more!
Please check the extended weather forecast before deciding whether to listen to this podcast.
Plus, a Husker Buzz with Sean Callahan on the single-digit jersey significance, rising weed rates, Clancy's supporters, and more.
A lot to do on a Friday morning: Come up with tasteless jokes for Jean Stothert Street, talk with a former state senator who got dismissed after a tasteless joke, see what the Trump Administration is doing about the joke that is college costs, joke around with Greg Wagner, Sean Callahan, and Craig Evans -- and more!
On today's show: Crowds supporting murderers, a brothel being run out of Omaha City Hall, lots and lots of shock glove talk, and much more!
As Lucy's life flashes before her eyes, I hope it includes this show -- it's not half bad!
Also: Local teens can't wait for high school football to start (but not for their OWN school), Jim can't use one of our favorite "Major League" clips anymore, we have a cricket infestation in the studio, and more!
Plus, Jim's movie review, the passing of a popular actress, a Husker Buzz, and more!
Good luck getting that image out of your head (unless you want it there, in which case "you're welcome"). What else happened on this show? Let's see ... Luigi talk, Husker Buzz with Sean Callahan, relief coming to the Lincoln, Greg Wagner from NE Game and Parks, and lots more!
During this "horse and a flat rock" deluge, we try to keep you safe in the storm, address traffic signals "acting up," reveal this MAJOR controversy with the Douglas County Treasurer's office, talk with Sen. Ricketts about bluegrass music, and more!
We have a big shock in Wisconsin, a strong storm actively moving through Omaha, a state education board called a bunch of racists, a WNBA coach getting all fired up, and a lot more today!
The State Board of Education has reservations about a new Omaha school (so do I), Denise Powell surfaces with a new message, police warn about your back-to-school social media pics (so does Lucy), we analyze Tim Walz's golf swing, the Grassleys lose "Beth," and more!
Today, we talk about clothes-lining Sophie Cunningham, best frontmen in classic rock, the NE GOP furious about "America First," that asinine question posed by Jim that is the title of today's podcast offering, and more!
As the title says: Pols (Sen. Deb Fischer and incoming gubernatorial contender Brett Lindstrom), a golfer (Ralston's Scott Gutschewski before his opening round at the Pinnacle Bank Championship), and a HOF celebration (Dave Rimington on playing with and Curtis Craig on growing up with Roger Craig ahead of this weekend's induction).
Ben Sasse crashes the party this morning, a socialist wins Michigan, leg traps are being banned in Papillion, and more -- quite a morning!
We talk today about how happy Lynne Walz must be with Brett Lindstrom moving closer to the governor's race, an interesting primary in Michigan today, a bit more review on the Baker-Ewing interview, guys in their 40s who wear their hats backwards, and more!
But isn't it always? Today, we have a Strait of Hormuz Update, Jim's likening of NU's new QB to Spicoli, Hunter Biden's financial woes, and much more!
Thanks to Craig Evans' phrasing in a news report for today's podcast title. We talked about that story, a former state senator trying to break up a US Senator's marriage (or whatever this is all about), the Husker Buzz with Sean Callahan following Coach Rhule's news conference yesterday, an outdoor report with Greg Wagner, wasp infestations, and more!
We also hear today from a couple of people who DO answer questions: Deputy Secretary of the Dept. of Veterans Affairs Paul R. Lawrence who stops by the studio while here in Omaha, and Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine responding to his push to have SOMETHING done with this alleged perv in Southwest Omaha.
Anthony Fauci's journal entries would definitely qualify as "Moonbat Email" on the Chris Baker Show! We get into that, as well as a troubling update on a scary southwest Omaha incident from this past spring, surgeons who have a bad day at work, the ongoing issues with Cracker Barrel, and more!
I survived the bears and bison, but not the attacks from gas pumps and credit card fees. We also talk today about whether it's good or bad news that so many Nebraskans are off EPT support, get a Strait of Hormuz update, provide some welcome news for dogs in Ohio, and more!
I always joke I could start every show with that topic, but today it feels especially appropriate! Also today: Sean Callahan with a Husker Buzz, Greg Wagner from NE Game & Parks, getting addicted to Butterbeer, and more!
From Buffett to Lucy's leeriness of buffets, and from a group fighting for the Center Mall to the Democrats fighting FOR Brett Lindstrom, we cover it all today (as we do EVERYDAY)!
Today's topics: Daylight saving getting Trumpy, Mayor Pete stops by Omaha, Willie Mays Hayes joins the Huskers, a wildly popular Strait of Hormuz Update, Jim's first job, and more!
What's Brett Lindstrom up to now? Why are data centers so despised? How far can a bison fling a grandpa?
What happened to Sen. Graham, and why is former Nebraska state senator Slama pushing a "Fairness in Sports" initiative? All is revealed (along with a lot more) on today's show!
