We cover all the Ss today!  We consider what it must have been like for all involved in the Aksarben Sinkhole, discuss the State of the Union, and talk with super bad-ass actor Michael Jai White (Spawn, The Dark Knight, Tyson, and his latest, Oscar Shaw).  Oh, and I sing a few times (but listen anyway).

These are just jokes, Bud!  Just jokes!

An email after this part of the show, from James: "Scott and Lucy this last 30 minutes is exactly why I begged for this part of the morning show to continue after Gary left. Thank you."  You're welcome, James!

Sorry, Moonbats ... he's back!

First, Dr. Ashely Alker tries to help us avoid her "99 Ways to Die."  Then, I watch with bemusement what President Trump is doing to our phony allies with his Board of Peace.

When the Rev. Jackson first considered a run at the White House, Omaha's Preston Love Jr. was alongside because he checked the most important boxes: Age and Height!

Did you hear Emery's announcement on Friday?  Here are a few more details on how we arrived at that point, and what will happen NEXT WEEK in that time slot. Then, we talk with Kevin Mooney about his new book, "Climate Porn."

The main topic with Dana Peffer of Sgt. Peffer's Cafe Italian was the games voters and the legislature are playing with minimum wage and the impact that has on small business owners.  All of the other annyoing questions I asked her had to do with dropping glasses, too-small plates, whether today's teens are good workers, and more.

Enjoy this romantic live performance by JJ from one of Omaha's most popular party bands!

And Lucy Chapman getting more attention than she wants during this show.

Or c) All of the Above.  (The answer is always c.)

And, more importantly, WHY did people choose to turn the channel from Bad Bunny's performance?  (It's not what your TDS friends think.)

There's something tragically beautiful about the way people are rallying around the Guthrie family, there's something just tragic about many of the social media posts about ICE, and there's something wrong with Scott and Lucy spending so much time goofing off on a variety of other topics on this show.

A group in Iowa is going to get people killed, Trump would like you to smile, and I read private texts from my wife on the air.  It is Wednesday, my dudes.

No, this sentence for the illegal immigrant responsible for Sarah Root's death isn't nearly enough, but remember what the family was thinking just months ago.  We also talk with Sen. Ricketts about Sarah, ICE, the shutdown, the SAVE Act, and more.

And providing my "Boomer" comments about the Grammys -- except for one part!

I definitely should have done some heavy editing to this podcast to make this morning's show sound more professional.  But I didn't.  Here is the "In All Its Splendor and Glory Edition."

New York Times bestselling author Melani Sanders is out with "The Official WE DO NOT CARE Club Handbook," a guide for women in menopause ... and the men who deal with them.

It happens!

Unless I get sued by "Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend," in which case I don't.

I always relish the opportunity to act like I'm taking the high road ... and hope no one calls me out for the thousands of horrible things I've said on and off the radio over the years.

A

The City of Omaha's MLK Aspire Award winner for his community work certainly did not burst onto the scene in a non-violent way!

Zoey and What's-Her-Face  ("The PCT Girls") stop by for another round of petty complaints.  You got a problem with that, Mustache?!?

That's what author Daniel Stein is wondering in his new book, "American Dystopia: The Handmaid's Tale and Puritan History."  The Omaha native joins me in the studio to discuss.

I don't know if you ever feel alone when watching the news or checking social media, but -- as long as we have each other here on NewsRadio 1110 KFAB -- we are not alone!  And, if you can put up with my sermon about all of that, I spend some time later in this show talking about naked pictures on xTwitter.

Yes, says Devon Kurtz of the Cicero Institute; no, says Omaha Mayor John Ewing.

I was so honored to be a part of this, circa 2010.  Merry Christmas to you and your family from our family here at NewsRadio 1110 KFAB.  By the way, if you're looking for our Christmas show with Gary Sadlemyer, Jim Rose, Ian Swanson and me, that (and a bunch of other fun stuff) is all posted on the "Nebraska's Morning News" podcast link at KFAB.com.  Anything we do before 9am goes there; the alleged highlights after 9am go here.

Because nothing says "Christmas" like my annual shredding of the holiday classic.  (Sorry, Christmas.)

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute ...

After responding to the President's speech last night, we talk about a horrific reality for too many in the wake of the Reiners' murder and wonder whether this conversation happened between neighbors in Rhode Island.

Here's just one Omaha downtown/midtown business owner optimistic about the future with the streetcar ... if they can survive through this construction to get there.

He just had to respond, didn't he?

What does Nebraska's District 8 representative think of that comparison?  I ask her that and a lot more about illegal immigration, ICE operations, the gender debates in the legislature, and more.

With all the love and accolades that Gary is getting now as he heads into retirement, my job today is simple:  To convince you that the man is a total fraud.

And it was REALLY windy last night!  Today's topics ranged from "the end of COVID" to Lucy's new Trump clock to a DC font battle and more.

MOBA beat this before; things are different in Omaha now, though.

Actress Brooke Anne Smith and "Jason the Knife Thrower" (aka, Jason Johnson) stop in to talk about whipping knives around while on horseback (that was Jason) and starring in a Netflix movie with Joey and Matthew Lawrence (that was Brooke).

I spent the weekend watching college football and Netflix.  Thankfully, those are two of the biggest topics in the news today.

That brilliant idea was a little later in the show.  We first talked about Baby Jesus, ICE, and and Omaha bathroom shootout (that was all one topic), and some other stuff, too.
