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!
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.
Find out what compels these people to march from Lincoln to Omaha next weekend.
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!
I'm literally not buying it!
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!
We coax Gary into the studio to talk Husker football (past and present), and his recent road trip.
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!
I think I did a pretty good job of restricting my tangents and side-tangents here to no more than 14 topics at once.
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!
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 ...
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!
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...

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?

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.
