Vintage Voorhees

Today's podcast is brought to you by Chris Pratt, lead singer of Icehouse who had a hit in the 70s with "Jukebox Hero."

It's sad for the families and community, and frustrating for the investigators, but our local "cold cases" are never completely forgotten or ignored.

And cain't nothin' be done 'bout it.

"Are you ready to SHUT UP?!?" -- Sen. Grassley

When not watching Husker games, Larry is making fun of your online videos!

About 2-and-a-half years after the Elkhorn tornado tore the roof off her house, Heather has been dealing with one problem after another with a contractor who promised to take care of her.  Another contractor, Kevin, has now stepped in and is asking for more help to make things right for this Omaha family.

Haven't I heard all this doomsday hype before...?

We have an update on the plight of "Cake Pop Kristin," past-and-present threat analyzation from Kenneth Abramowitz of Save The West, a "from the archives" conversation with Charlie Kirk and song about when President Obama went up against the NFL, and a poignant glimpse into what it was like for a little kid to lose his dad on 9/11/01 (detailed by Matthew Bocchi in his book "Sway").

As if this whole terrible idea couldn't get any weirder...

They'll be there with Gin Blossoms and Spin Doctors this Friday night.  Shadow Ridge GM Justin Shanahan provides the details.

Finally, a local story that blends the important topics of "freedom" and "cake on a stick."

No jaguars, Jaguars, pumas, lobsters, or Lucy's friends were harmed in the making of this podcast.

On what I believe is the day before the 20th anniversary of my first radio show on KFAB, Lucy guides me down a conversation road that may have resulted in today's show being my last show on KFAB.

(Correction to an 80s movie reference I botched in this ridiculous tirade:  "Platoon.")

This is NOT how you want to wake up!

Hey, Jealousy ... we made you pancakes for breakfast.  Bring a plate of those hotcakes and that baggie over there and we'll go out on the boat with Robin Wilson before he and the Gin Blossoms come back to Omaha's Shadow Ridge Music Festival on Friday, Sept. 11th.

Why'd ya come in here lookin' like that?

Voorhees will make ya TRUMP TRUMP!

Ahhhh, the things I get to talk about on the radio...

Shock: Gloves, the Sellout Streak, and a comment about Jean Stothert Street that even shocked Jim Rose.

On no other radio show would those two topics be in the same program.  Welcome to our radio show.

Sweetie pumpkin, do you want to join the Columbia Record Club?

For those who have suddenly demonized these law enforcement tools: When in these TWO INSTANCES should they not have been used?

If I COULD, I would give Bowser the up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-B-A-start treatment to defeat this Luigi.

This story is hot garbage, I say.  (By the way, after this show Sec. Hegseth also says this report is hot garbage ... and then made swift moves to get this crew some much-needed relief anyway.)

Find out what compels these people to march from Lincoln to Omaha next weekend.

What's going on around town, how is the streetcar construction creating both hope and headaches, why are some South O businesses struggling, what's this CRE Summit all about, and more.

I'm literally not buying it!

We coax Gary into the studio to talk Husker football (past and present), and his recent road trip.

In the Strait of Hormuuuuuuzzzzz.......

I think I did a pretty good job of restricting my tangents and side-tangents here to no more than 14 topics at once.

After regaling you with sordid tales of my bedroom posters from adolescence, Lucy and I talk about this story that breaks our hearts ... which probably should have stopped us from laughing about it at times ... 

It's about time a country singer gave us a song about a truck!

This hearing today is churning up a lot of bad memories...

Today, we're serving up rolling brownouts, data centers, dismay over Nebraskans getting off food stamps, and eggnog!

The 2026 edition!

A fun segment to end the week

If you believe in love ... if you believe it's true ... you will love this show.

Clay Anderson and Theresa Cassaday are coming together for Heartland Family Service.  Also, grandpas are getting tossed around by bison and bulls.

Giddyup!

From the "Vintage Voorhees" archives, Sen. Graham talked with us about the upcoming midterms (he nailed his guess on how many seats the GOP would have after), the recent terror attacks in Canada, what he thought of Rush Limbaugh's nickname for him, and his appreciation for our Stevie Wonder theme song!

It got my attention yesterday morning when Lucy reported there was a cow in the road near 195th and Pacific.  But that was nothing compared to what Melissa experienced out there that led up to yesterday's traffic report.

It's time to Feel the Birn!

No, it's not a morning show on Z-92, it's Tyrus talking about going from UNK to FOX (and back to Omaha for his "What It Is" comedy tour 8/13) and our replay of a delightful conversation with Bonnie Tyler following her passing this week.

Also, with talk with Sen. Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential strategist about his new book, "How the Democrats Screwed Bernie."

I have been slapped twice.  I will probably earn a third, but -- before that point -- here are those stories (and the reason I'm sharing them).

Put on your red, white, and blue pants and enjoy this frosty podcast with us.

Are Gene Wilder's best days ahead of him, or behind him?

As is usually the case with a close decision from the Court, Republicans and Democrats have mixed takeaways from this election decision.  In talking about that, we also mix in me getting booed at the Memorial Park concert, nearly murdering a guy before the Weird Al concert, and more!
