Vintage Voorhees

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!

Sometimes you just have to vent and laugh on a Friday!

What happens when someone (a growing number of someones, in fact) gets this ruling in court after commiting a crime?  Not much.  State Sen. Kathleen Kauth and Hope Cooperative Care GM Ginger Hughes join me to discuss.

And if they think the combination of soccer and free bread is great, they need to come to Memorial Park Friday night for the combination of Cake, Smokey Robinson, and fireworks!  Tiffany and Heidi stop in for details on that annual event.

Also: How did I end up singing with Five for Fighting yesterday?  (And, at some point I honestly think I was channeling Norm Macdonald.  Not while singing; just during today's show.)

Derek Hough gives me big-time Dad Points, my son thinks Jean Stothert is still Mayor, I get fired up about our local refugee gang violence, the "Nebraskan" terrorist is no longer a "Nebraskan," and more!

A fun conversation with "Dancing With the Stars" icon -- and new father -- Derek Hough.

You don't have to wait to meet "The Shepherd" at the old, abandoned church -- you can meet him right here!

You've seen Tom in everything from "Frasier" to "Everybody Loves Raymond" to "Veep."  Now, you can see him making his Omaha debut as the Wizard of Oz in "Wicked."

Also, Lucy did NOT work as a prostitute.

If Trump just keeps breakin' your heart (whether you have TDS or you're Iran), maybe you need to hear this.

After taking a moment to breathe following several hours of storm coverage this morning (by swerving into a conversation that included my son's eye and my unappreciated sense of humor), we welcome Rep. Mike Flood on to the program to talk security, Iran, and Nazi tattoos.

We check in with Glenn Valley Foods president Chad Hartmann on this first anniversary of the targeted ICE operations at that Omaha business.

Classy scene last night during our national anthem, but who is surprised?

The singer/songwriter of hits like "Superman" and "100 Years" talks with me about a career that has seen him go from small bars to packed arenas to war zones -- and what it means to him to do all this as an American.

Cobbled together from the last couple of radio shows, I've created a FrankenTrumpdate for you -- enjoy!

As the Camp + Care Radiothon continues (and Boyd Dingman stops by with a pile of money for us), we also discuss the latest gay marriage stats, whether a dingo has your baby, what not to do when you find a teen cheerleader's ID, Steve Perry menopause, and more!

Grab your crossbow and a Peabo record (like "If Ever You're In My Arms Again," I forgot that one) and let's get into the news of the day ... and various recollections of torturing my babysitter.

Scouting America's Chris Mehaffey and former Omaha mayor Hal Daub are leading a legion of scouts to raise money to put a mini State of Liberty in Turner Park.  Also, beware of "too good to be true" car sales online.

They don't always go together, but we're serving up a big bowl of 'em today!

An email that came in during today's show:  "I was going to drop off my grandma's 16 tires, will I be expected to de-cat them prior to arriving?" --Brandon

Today, we discuss the light and airy topics of ebola, fightin', shootin', human trash pandas, etc.

And not just because Chief Schmaderer is on.  We take a look at the odd decision by Lincoln to close most of their public pools.  Also, GET OFF THE ROPE!!!!!

In honor of our conversation with Cake lead singer John McCrea, we dug into the Vintage Voorhees archives for our tribute to the "I was just taking a wide stance" indecent exposure bathroom arrest of then-Senator Larry Craig of Idaho.  From June of 2007.

Jim Minge of "The Omaha Dispatch" and I pester Cake's John McCrea about their new album, the vibraslap, his unique singing style, and bringing their fun sound to Omaha on June 26th as part of the free concert and fireworks show at Memorial Park with Smokey Robinson.

It's time for our annual reminder that there are hundreds of mustachioed men in Omaha raising money for children, and it's something we need to celebrate, not fear.

Yep, we're getting into it this morning and solving all of society's problems!

Sen. Fischer on gas prices, Fox News' Bret Baier on his new book ("The Case for America"), a Barney Frank update (thanks, Rush!), an argument for/against limits for Supreme Court justices, and more!

Small-town Nebraska steps again yet again in the wake of disaster to help their neighbors, hypocritical college students boo the tech that helped them graduate, and Clint Black tells us about Killin' Time.

"He's Trump!  He's Trump!  He's Trump!  He's President!"

Scott Petersen joins me after pulling off the upset yesterday.  Then, a glimpse at the PO'd presumed Democratic winner in NE-02.

Patriotic Productions has another inspiring Memorial Day weekend's worth of events set for you starting on Friday, May 22nd -- but only if a few hundred of us pitch in and help!

We talk with Bobby Farrelly about "Dumb and Dumber," John Hughes' influence, and his new film "Driver's Ed" (out this Friday).

A contentious and controversial Republican primary race for Secretary in State is coming down to the wire.  I talk with challenger Scott Petersen here; incumbent Bob Evnen talked with Jean Stothert afterwards (in a conversation that will be posted on the KFAB Comment Line podcast link on KFAB's site and here on iHeartRadio).

Ooh-de-Lally in Dundee is more than a restaurant, as you will find in this conversation here.  Then, Jimmy Failla joins us one more time before his Omaha comedy show this weekend.  Finally, Council Bluffs opts to send their homeless problem west across Bob the Bridge.
