Vintage Voorhees

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!

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.
