Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott vordiez if our FK Junior says, well, I did
all the work and we had all the great scientists
take a look at this, and we've determined what causes autism.
Is I mean, there will be people who just flat
out because he's in the Trump administration, don't believe him.
(00:21):
There'll be people he could say, look and he's on
like a whiteboard and he's doing the whole things, and
he's like, it looks like a beautiful mind. He's like,
yet this do this and this, and if you've got this,
and if this is in your family, and then if
you eat a lot of this, and then if you
had this, and then here's what causes autism. He's like,
(00:42):
just he's like a sweaty He's like, I found out
what causes autism. Sleeves are rolled up, he's pitting out,
and there'll be people are like, I don't like him.
He's lying. So it's something we talk about all the
time on this program. There. It really isn't anything that
(01:02):
is black or white facts anymore. There's only that which
you want to believe is what someone just told you,
even if they can empirically prove it to you. Does
that jibe with your partisan political politics, because if it doesn't,
they are liars. Everyone's guilty of it. We just sit
(01:23):
here and observe up here on my lofty perch where
I look down on you. No, this is the wrong
way of winning people over. Sorry, we're all in this together.
Is that better? Now? Here is my ugly political comment
as it pertains to what we had yesterday. All we've
(01:45):
heard about for the last several weeks is it's almost
like it's Boss Hog yelling at Trump anytime you turn
on the news. I mean, you're whereas Walter Kite was
the voice of a generation, it's like Boss Hog is
(02:06):
the collective voice of this generation and the anti Trump movement.
Anything President Trump does, the reaction is dude, that Trump.
You know, they're just so mad. So Trump and Elon
Musk came out there and said, we don't need to
from every single National Weather Service weather station all across
(02:29):
this any area. We don't need to release weather balloons
all the time every day. If today is Sonny in seventy,
and tomorrow is Sonny in seventy, and the day after
that is Sonny in seventy, and the okay, then maybe
we just back it off, maybe we do one balloon,
(02:50):
one weather balloon release. And then they said, when you've
got severe weather in the forecast, then suddenly it's okay,
let's get some more people on this, and let's study
the data and let's put in the work, which is
all they said. At no point did they say no
(03:12):
one's going to have any access to any weather information.
They just looked at this and said, is there a
smarter and more cost effective way to do this now?
Immediately there are all kinds of people, including a couple
of Republican congressmen around here, saying no, no, no, no,
we have to have the weather balloons released all the time.
(03:32):
Whenever they say this is too much cutting. We're down
to the bone here. We can't do it now. I
stood out here saying, all right, what do we really
need the constant weather balloon activity. We can't have something
where you've got the National Weather Service and the TV
(03:54):
meteorologist and the trained weather spotters and some of these
guys who've lived here for eighty years and they can
just lick their fingers, stick it in the air and
say there's gonna be a storm on Thursday, and it's
Monday morning, and you're like, how does he know? And
then Thursday night you're like, how did he know? How
we can't have the combination of these things give us
(04:15):
a clearer picture. It's amazing that at this time when
they were blaming Trump and Elon for people are gonna die,
they're not gonna know a storm's coming, and I'm saying,
we're gonna know a storm is coming. We get so
much information from everything besides the weather balloons. This is ridiculous.
So what happened on Monday? We here on Nebraska's News
(04:39):
weather and Traffic station said the possibility of severe weather
on Thursday. We're looking at timing late afternoon into the
evening on Thursday. We told you that on Monday. We
told you that on Tuesday, we told you that Wednesday,
yesterday morning, we're still telling you that. Now. If you
pull out the weather app on your phone and you
look at Omaha, there's a zero percent chance of rain today,
(05:03):
which based on what most people experienced here in Omaha,
was true. We really didn't get much rain. Maybe a
few communities got spit on, but not a lot of rain.
But there wasn't any lightning or anything like that. It
was you know, you look at the weather app and go,
these idiots on the radio and TV, it's not going
(05:24):
to storm. Now, how do we know that? When the
National Weather Service was hamstrung by Trump and Doge not
to release weather balloons all the time, because they all said,
when we have the possibility of severe weather, we ramp
things up. And that's what they did, and that's how
(05:45):
we knew for four days that things might get pretty
interesting yesterday. Now, if that's true about what Trump and
Doge are doing on that front, oh, everyone said it
was good. I mean, you look at what happened here
with the weather balloons. The same reaction with the stock
(06:06):
market and the tariffs and so forth. If Trump does anything,
the country has a boss hog reaction. Oo. No, we
can't have tariffs, we can't have an MS thirteen gang
member deported, we can't have weather balloons not go up,
you know, and everyone's like, no, can't do it, can't
do it, can't do it. We can't have this organization dismantled.
(06:28):
Oh my gosh, people are gonna die. Everyone's gonna die.
Trump's killing people. And then time goes by and you realize, oh, oh,
there really was no difference between what had been done,
which is now being done in a more cost effective way,
and how about it. We it was okay. It ended
up being it's all right, everybody, it's okay. But I'm
(06:49):
telling you the next time Trump wants to do something,
everyone's gonna die. I'm telling you, like we say all
the time, I don't know, I don't care, I don't
know who the president is, I don't know who's in Congress.
Well I know right now, I'm not say it. It
doesn't matter. I look at the people in charge and
(07:13):
I say, well, I hope they know what they're doing.
And you get the knee jerk reaction from everyone involved
all the time, saying they don't know what they're doing.
Should have voted for us. We're the ones who know
what we're doing. All right, Let's just take a breath,
wait and see what happens. Because on the weather balloon front,
(07:36):
it was fine. Calm down? Did that help? If I
say calm down in a calming voice, does that help
you calm down? Specifically to the women, why don't you
calm down and get a hold of yourself? Is that good?
Do people like to hear that? No?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I don't think you want to go down that.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Really, no, Lucy, you sound hysterical right now.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I'm not nesterio.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Why don't you down?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I'm trying to calm down.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Why don't you.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Is getting tougher in?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Do you feel your tension going up there?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
It's rising?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Tell me to calm down, Lucy. Let me tell you
what's good for you. Police are looking here in Omaha
for a council bluffs man who Lucy did the absolutely unthinkable.
He went into one of Omaha's great businesses and pointed
a gun at the workers, and it demanded money. Now
(08:31):
there are some businesses and we're going to list them
now where it's okay to rob those places. They're terrible. Lucy.
You first, that washboard company.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
The washboard company is pretty bad.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Carl emailed and said, off, someone's coming door to door
trying to sell you washboards, and they call it washboards.
These are not genuine washboards. Everyone knows. If it's not
pronounced worshboard, it's not a real washboard. That's true worshboard.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I would not buy anything from the Flintstones rock Cory either.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
These guys. This guy went into Ted and Wally's, Nah.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
You're messing with the Nomaha favorite.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
They've identified him twenty six year old. His name is
Gavin and there's a felony warrant for his arrest. Six
foot tall, thin white man. I'm as six foot well,
I'm not as thin as I used to be. Also,
I'm not twenty six. Do you think I could pass
for twenty six? Yes? Yes? Do you think all my
(09:33):
gray hair and bags under my eyes could pass for
twenty six?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Thank you, Lucy.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Six foot tall the time of twenty six years?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Oh, I think I got twenty six minutes a sleep
last night, That's what I think. So this guy, he
goes into Ted and Wall you would think if your
motivation is I need money, and you go into Ted
and Wallys, wouldn't you first be overcome with the smell
of waffle cones and think I was gonna rob you guys?
(10:04):
But I think what I'd rather have as a milkshake?
How in the world and why all? What did these
employees at ten and Wahies do? They were making ice
cream cones, milkshakes, maybe doing a few mix ins that
kind of thing, deliciousness. They were just serving smiles and goodness,
(10:28):
one scoop at a time. By the way, I just
trademarked that in case ten Wallies wants to steal it,
you can pay me for the rights. And this guy
goes in there with a gun. This guy, when he's arrested,
should never be allowed to eat ice cream for the
rest of his life. That is the worst punishment I
(10:50):
can think of for anyone. And it wasn't just ten Wallies.
Then he went in this is a lot, This is
ten Wallies in Benson. Then he went over to a
taste of New Orleans. And my goodness, you talk about
some of the great smells. You walk into that place
with the intention of robbing this place, and you're overcome
with the smell of a creole shrimp boil, and you're
(11:14):
still thinking, I need to rob this place. How about
you sit down, you put a bib on, and you
start sucking some heads. That's what they call it, New Orleans.
How about you do that. You do everyone much better,
including yourself. Everyone would be much better served if you
sit down there and go, yeah, how about some and
(11:35):
dewey sausage and shrimp and corn and whatever else, and
some gumbo and whatever else. I want some rice and
then some more rice and just slop that whole thing
up in a bowl and just serve it to me
right now? How about you sit down there and eat something,
go in and try and steal from these businesses.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, clearly he had the money to pay for it.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
He should not be here, you know. Well, yeah for
ice cream?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Huh oh, if he went to taste of Omah, taste of.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I could almost understand. I gotta understand stealing from one
business to get the money to go into either of
these businesses to buy something. I'm so hungry for creole
ice cream right now. I can't even stand it. I
can't stand it. And there's your sixties movie reference for
this segment of the radio programs.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Some like that.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
You're very close. I think, uh, singing in the ring,
singing in the rain, I can tell that. I can't
stand it. That's sixties, seventies, sixties.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I thought it was earlier than that. But I couldn't
even get the title right. But I did know that
my wife, I knew that's right.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
My wife is screaming at the radio. She'll tell you
exact the friday it was released in, what year. She
loves that movie, and so I do too. I can't
stand it. So police are looking for this guy, Council
Bluff's man named Gavin Tall skinny Why tall skinny, twenty
six year old white guy, brown eyes, brown hair and
(13:05):
a black heart. You find that guy, call police and
a judge. I don't want to tell you how to
do your job, but that guy should never be allowed
to eat ice cream for the rest of his life.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Scott Voice.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Adam emails Scott atkfab dot com and says, yesterday was
my twenty first wedding anniversary. Adam, happy anniversary to you
and your better half said. Our daughter was playing a
tennis match in Gretna at five, so the plan was
to watch the game, then all of us go to
Red Lobster. About five point fifteen, my daughter was done playing.
(13:41):
Hope she won eight. Oh nice job, good match. I
presume she won. The daughter was done playing and I
told my wife, okay, time to go home. At the time,
the weather apps didn't show anything, so she was less
than happy with my decision, a lot less than happy.
I told her the weather just had a bad feel
(14:01):
to it and I didn't want to mess with it,
especially since we're not here from Omaha. We had to
drive home to Hallam. By the time we got home
she conceded this was a good idea that we got
the heck out of there when we did, and I
think she somehow took partial credit for it. Yes, and
the fact that Adam is not going to say that
(14:21):
to her means that they might see a twenty second
wedding anniversary. Happy anniversary to you, guys. I hope your
daughter did well in the tennis match. And then there's
this email, Dear Scott, Trump's reckless environmental policies and twice
pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord are the reason
for the tornadic activity last night. And mark my word,
(14:43):
we're going to see more earthquakes and volcanoes in Omaha
because of him as well. Sign Karen Whitey mcmiddle, aged
liberal white woman face. Karen always appreciate the emails, thank
you so much. Tomorrow is the thirtieth anniversary of the
Oklahoma City bombing. There was a tremendous interview about that
(15:03):
on kfab's Morning News. Gary Sadelmeyer and Jim Rose talk
with the director of a documentary taking a look at
what happened at the Murrah Federal Building thirty years ago.
Tomorrow and I'm just in the process here of posting
that on the kfab's Morning News podcast link. If you
missed it this morning, it'll be available shortly at kfab
(15:26):
dot com. If you didn't catch my ridiculous story on
kfab's Morning News, let me bore you with it again
right now, Lucy. Okay, So the bombing in Oklahoma City
was thirty years ago tomorrow. It was about two and
(15:52):
a half years after that. I moved from Carnie where
this is where I was all compared, to finish out
my college career at Carney, and then between really over
Christmas that break during my senior year at Carney, that's
when Kansas City called and said, we'll give you a job.
(16:14):
I'm like, what a tremendous opportunity. I'll never have this
chance again. Forget college and left, packed all my stuff
into a truck, moved down to Kansas City, and I
moved it all into this apartment. And then I needed
to take the truck back and my buddy, who was
helping me, was was trailing me, so he was in
the car behind me and I'm looking for the place
(16:35):
to drop off the truck and I can't find it.
Can't find it. And this was before cell phones that
could tell you where to go. So I pulled into
a parking lot. It was at night and it was
pretty dark, but there were a few lights in the
parking lot. I didn't know where the heck guy was.
(16:55):
So I pull up in this parking lot to examine
the map, and that's when every police officer in the
world suddenly swarmed on me and demanded to know what
I was doing parking a rider truck right there in
the parking lot next to a federal building in Kansas City.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
I don't think we got this whole version, this one.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I didn't know I was. I didn't I just found
an empty parking lot where I could pull a big
truck in there. I quickly worked to explain what was
going on, and thankfully I was allowed to leave. But yeah,
(17:42):
until you look up from a map and you've got
several members of law enforcement staring at you, that that
changes your whole night. I felt terrible about that. I
imagine what they were thinking approaching this. And obviously, just
a couple of years after what happened in Oklahoma City,
they had questions that anniversary of what happened on that
(18:06):
day from terrorists grown right here at home thirty years ago.
Tomorrow closer to home, really close to our home here
in news Radio eleven ten KFAB in Dundee, USA. There's
also an anniversary today, Lucy, did you know today is
(18:32):
the eightieth anniversary of an attack on Omaha because of
World War Two?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Oh, it was Omaha, but I mean you got to
dial it down a little bit to Dundee.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
In Dundee, it was the evening of April eighteenth, nineteen
forty five. People were eating at Udalali restaurant that had
just opened and was staffed by people who were formally
incarcerated or currently and looking to get out. And that
(19:06):
restaurant wasn't there at the time. Well, because we weren't
here at the time. It would be a few years
before KFAB moved into the neighborhood. E Creamery was there
and people were like, I like this ice cream. I
don't know what E means. Like, well, it's nineteen forty five,
you don't get it yet. I don't know what was
here in nineteen forty five, but nice people, some good businesses,
(19:30):
maybe a hardware store. And it was the evening of
April eighteenth, nineteen forty five, when suddenly in the sky
over Dundee a bomb went off. They people came out
of their homes to go did I just hear a
(19:52):
bomb go off? Well, I'll be darned. It turns out
it was one of nine thousand bombs that the Japanese
World War two. It was a whole thing. Look it up.
There's a history book somewhere. But the Japanese decided, all right,
(20:14):
I know what we're going to do to those Americans.
They launched over nine thousand balloons with bombs on them,
hoping that they would cause widespread panic. And uh, I
mean there'd just be bombs going off off all over
the place and we didn't know what the heck was
going on. Well, about three hundred of these balloons made
(20:37):
it to the United States. Several made it to Nebraska.
There were some of these balloons found in Skyler and
Burwell and Chadron.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Were then were was Nebraska the only place.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
No, the three hundred across America. I imagine a lot
of these just went into the ocean and some whale
was like, Hm, is this a squid I can eat? Yeah,
whil everywhere I don't know if that happened, But I
know that eighty years ago tonight, the one floating over
(21:17):
Dundee was still high in the sky when suddenly it exploded.
It lit up the sky, causing everyone to come outside
and go what was that fireworks? Was one of these
these new fangled cars just backfire out here? There was
probably still a few people calling those automobile. There's new
(21:37):
fangled automobiles there. They're never gonna last the buggy. That's
the way of the future here in this country. And
it didn't do any damage. There was some remnants of
the bomb that exploded that landed near the house of
a guy named Herman down the street here at fifty
first in Underwood. Herman said, tarnation is this old Herman?
(22:04):
And they called the officials and the government said, oh,
don't worry about it. Don't worry about it, don't worry
about nothing to see here. Come over there and they
get it all out of there. It would be a
while after that when when we realized that the Japanese
had tried to have bombs go off across the globe
by balloons. Now, I don't know how many of them
(22:27):
ended up actually detonating anywhere. Again. Most of them either
drifted into the ocean or blew up in the sky
over the ocean, or there was It wasn't a nuclear device.
It was just you know, a bomb, just a probably
like one of those bowling balls with a wick on it.
You know, we'll put it to a balloon, light the wick,
(22:48):
send it up.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
There is a bomb on the side.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, I said, bomb on the side, and let the
thing go and a really long wick. It made it
from Japan to Dundee. But that was that was one
of the attacks here in America. Courtesy of our balloon
(23:12):
bomb now friends in Japan. A bomb went off in
Omaha related to World War Two on this date eighty
years ago, nineteen forty five.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
That is fascinating, and World War II comes to Nebraska.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
To commemorate the event. I'm doing this bomb of a
radio show in exactly the same spot where that thing
went off eighty years ago.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Scott Forties News Radio eleven ten k fad.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I mentioned some of the sad circumstances of this weekend.
We're going to get details today about what happened yesterday
at Florida State. It's the thirtieth anniversary tomorrow of the
Oklahoma City bombing. It's the anniversary this weekend of the
Columbine shooting, but it's also Easter weekend and today on
(24:09):
Good Friday, A blessed good Friday to you. If you're
spending this time cleaning up after storms that cut across
the north and southern parts of the Omaha metro area,
then I hope that that's that's coming along here. Hopefully
it looks like the wind might even die down later
(24:30):
this afternoon, which would be a tremendous help. But just
be thankful that still as of right now, no injuries.
With all these tornadoes, giant hailstones yesterday, there's a lot
to celebrate this weekend, and we'll do that on Easter Sunday.
I hope you and your family have a great one.

Doge are doing on that front, oh, everyone said it
was good. I mean, you look at what happened here
with the weather balloons. The same reaction with the stock
(06:06):
market and the tariffs and so forth. If Trump does anything,
the country has a boss hog reaction. Oo. No, we
can't have tariffs, we can't have an MS thirteen gang
member deported, we can't have weather balloons not go up,
you know, and everyone's like, no, can't do it, can't
do it, can't do it. We can't have this organization dismantled.
(06:28):
Oh my gosh, people are gonna die. Everyone's gonna die.
Trump's killing people. And then time goes by and you realize, oh, oh,
there really was no difference between what had been done,
which is now being done in a more cost effective way,
and how about it. We it was okay. It ended
up being it's all right, everybody, it's okay. But I'm
(06:49):
telling you the next time Trump wants to do something,
everyone's gonna die. I'm telling you, like we say all
the time, I don't know, I don't care, I don't
know who the president is, I don't know who's in Congress.
Well I know right now, I'm not say it. It
doesn't matter. I look at the people in charge and
(07:13):
I say, well, I hope they know what they're doing.
And you get the knee jerk reaction from everyone involved
all the time, saying they don't know what they're doing.
Should have voted for us. We're the ones who know
what we're doing. All right, Let's just take a breath,
wait and see what happens. Because on the weather balloon front,
(07:36):
it was fine. Calm down? Did that help? If I
say calm down in a calming voice, does that help
you calm down? Specifically to the women, why don't you
calm down and get a hold of yourself? Is that good?
Do people like to hear that? No?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I don't think you want to go down that.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Really, no, Lucy, you sound hysterical right now.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I'm not nesterio.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Why don't you down?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I'm trying to calm down.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Why don't you.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Is getting tougher in?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Do you feel your tension going up there?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
It's rising?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Tell me to calm down, Lucy. Let me tell you
what's good for you. Police are looking here in Omaha
for a council bluffs man who Lucy did the absolutely unthinkable.
He went into one of Omaha's great businesses and pointed
a gun at the workers, and it demanded money. Now
(08:31):
there are some businesses and we're going to list them
now where it's okay to rob those places. They're terrible. Lucy.
You first, that washboard company.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
The washboard company is pretty bad.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Carl emailed and said, off, someone's coming door to door
trying to sell you washboards, and they call it washboards.
These are not genuine washboards. Everyone knows. If it's not
pronounced worshboard, it's not a real washboard. That's true worshboard.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I would not buy anything from the Flintstones rock Cory either.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
These guys. This guy went into Ted and Wally's, Nah.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
You're messing with the Nomaha favorite.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
They've identified him twenty six year old. His name is
Gavin and there's a felony warrant for his arrest. Six
foot tall, thin white man. I'm as six foot well,
I'm not as thin as I used to be. Also,
I'm not twenty six. Do you think I could pass
for twenty six? Yes? Yes? Do you think all my
(09:33):
gray hair and bags under my eyes could pass for
twenty six?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Thank you, Lucy.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Six foot tall the time of twenty six years?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Oh, I think I got twenty six minutes a sleep
last night, That's what I think. So this guy, he
goes into Ted and Wall you would think if your
motivation is I need money, and you go into Ted
and Wallys, wouldn't you first be overcome with the smell
of waffle cones and think I was gonna rob you guys?
(10:04):
But I think what I'd rather have as a milkshake?
How in the world and why all? What did these
employees at ten and Wahies do? They were making ice
cream cones, milkshakes, maybe doing a few mix ins that
kind of thing, deliciousness. They were just serving smiles and goodness,
(10:28):
one scoop at a time. By the way, I just
trademarked that in case ten Wallies wants to steal it,
you can pay me for the rights. And this guy
goes in there with a gun. This guy, when he's arrested,
should never be allowed to eat ice cream for the
rest of his life. That is the worst punishment I
(10:50):
can think of for anyone. And it wasn't just ten Wallies.
Then he went in this is a lot, This is
ten Wallies in Benson. Then he went over to a
taste of New Orleans. And my goodness, you talk about
some of the great smells. You walk into that place
with the intention of robbing this place, and you're overcome
with the smell of a creole shrimp boil, and you're
(11:14):
still thinking, I need to rob this place. How about
you sit down, you put a bib on, and you
start sucking some heads. That's what they call it, New Orleans.
How about you do that. You do everyone much better,
including yourself. Everyone would be much better served if you
sit down there and go, yeah, how about some and
(11:35):
dewey sausage and shrimp and corn and whatever else, and
some gumbo and whatever else. I want some rice and
then some more rice and just slop that whole thing
up in a bowl and just serve it to me
right now? How about you sit down there and eat something,
go in and try and steal from these businesses.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, clearly he had the money to pay for it.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
He should not be here, you know. Well, yeah for
ice cream?
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Huh oh, if he went to taste of Omah, taste of.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I could almost understand. I gotta understand stealing from one
business to get the money to go into either of
these businesses to buy something. I'm so hungry for creole
ice cream right now. I can't even stand it. I
can't stand it. And there's your sixties movie reference for
this segment of the radio programs.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Some like that.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
You're very close. I think, uh, singing in the ring,
singing in the rain, I can tell that. I can't
stand it. That's sixties, seventies, sixties.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I thought it was earlier than that. But I couldn't
even get the title right. But I did know that
my wife, I knew that's right.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
My wife is screaming at the radio. She'll tell you
exact the friday it was released in, what year. She
loves that movie, and so I do too. I can't
stand it. So police are looking for this guy, Council
Bluff's man named Gavin Tall skinny Why tall skinny, twenty
six year old white guy, brown eyes, brown hair and
(13:05):
a black heart. You find that guy, call police and
a judge. I don't want to tell you how to
do your job, but that guy should never be allowed
to eat ice cream for the rest of his life.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Scott Voice.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Adam emails Scott atkfab dot com and says, yesterday was
my twenty first wedding anniversary. Adam, happy anniversary to you
and your better half said. Our daughter was playing a
tennis match in Gretna at five, so the plan was
to watch the game, then all of us go to
Red Lobster. About five point fifteen, my daughter was done playing.
(13:41):
Hope she won eight. Oh nice job, good match. I
presume she won. The daughter was done playing and I
told my wife, okay, time to go home. At the time,
the weather apps didn't show anything, so she was less
than happy with my decision, a lot less than happy.
I told her the weather just had a bad feel
(14:01):
to it and I didn't want to mess with it,
especially since we're not here from Omaha. We had to
drive home to Hallam. By the time we got home
she conceded this was a good idea that we got
the heck out of there when we did, and I
think she somehow took partial credit for it. Yes, and
the fact that Adam is not going to say that
(14:21):
to her means that they might see a twenty second
wedding anniversary. Happy anniversary to you, guys. I hope your
daughter did well in the tennis match. And then there's
this email, Dear Scott, Trump's reckless environmental policies and twice
pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord are the reason
for the tornadic activity last night. And mark my word,
(14:43):
we're going to see more earthquakes and volcanoes in Omaha
because of him as well. Sign Karen Whitey mcmiddle, aged
liberal white woman face. Karen always appreciate the emails, thank
you so much. Tomorrow is the thirtieth anniversary of the
Oklahoma City bombing. There was a tremendous interview about that
(15:03):
on kfab's Morning News. Gary Sadelmeyer and Jim Rose talk
with the director of a documentary taking a look at
what happened at the Murrah Federal Building thirty years ago.
Tomorrow and I'm just in the process here of posting
that on the kfab's Morning News podcast link. If you
missed it this morning, it'll be available shortly at kfab
(15:26):
dot com. If you didn't catch my ridiculous story on
kfab's Morning News, let me bore you with it again
right now, Lucy. Okay, So the bombing in Oklahoma City
was thirty years ago tomorrow. It was about two and
(15:52):
a half years after that. I moved from Carnie where
this is where I was all compared, to finish out
my college career at Carney, and then between really over
Christmas that break during my senior year at Carney, that's
when Kansas City called and said, we'll give you a job.
(16:14):
I'm like, what a tremendous opportunity. I'll never have this
chance again. Forget college and left, packed all my stuff
into a truck, moved down to Kansas City, and I
moved it all into this apartment. And then I needed
to take the truck back and my buddy, who was
helping me, was was trailing me, so he was in
the car behind me and I'm looking for the place
(16:35):
to drop off the truck and I can't find it.
Can't find it. And this was before cell phones that
could tell you where to go. So I pulled into
a parking lot. It was at night and it was
pretty dark, but there were a few lights in the
parking lot. I didn't know where the heck guy was.
(16:55):
So I pull up in this parking lot to examine
the map, and that's when every police officer in the
world suddenly swarmed on me and demanded to know what
I was doing parking a rider truck right there in
the parking lot next to a federal building in Kansas City.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
I don't think we got this whole version, this one.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I didn't know I was. I didn't I just found
an empty parking lot where I could pull a big
truck in there. I quickly worked to explain what was
going on, and thankfully I was allowed to leave. But yeah,
(17:42):
until you look up from a map and you've got
several members of law enforcement staring at you, that that
changes your whole night. I felt terrible about that. I
imagine what they were thinking approaching this. And obviously, just
a couple of years after what happened in Oklahoma City,
they had questions that anniversary of what happened on that
(18:06):
day from terrorists grown right here at home thirty years ago.
Tomorrow closer to home, really close to our home here
in news Radio eleven ten KFAB in Dundee, USA. There's
also an anniversary today, Lucy, did you know today is
(18:32):
the eightieth anniversary of an attack on Omaha because of
World War Two?
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Oh, it was Omaha, but I mean you got to
dial it down a little bit to Dundee.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
In Dundee, it was the evening of April eighteenth, nineteen
forty five. People were eating at Udalali restaurant that had
just opened and was staffed by people who were formally
incarcerated or currently and looking to get out. And that
(19:06):
restaurant wasn't there at the time. Well, because we weren't
here at the time. It would be a few years
before KFAB moved into the neighborhood. E Creamery was there
and people were like, I like this ice cream. I
don't know what E means. Like, well, it's nineteen forty five,
you don't get it yet. I don't know what was
here in nineteen forty five, but nice people, some good businesses,
(19:30):
maybe a hardware store. And it was the evening of
April eighteenth, nineteen forty five, when suddenly in the sky
over Dundee a bomb went off. They people came out
of their homes to go did I just hear a
(19:52):
bomb go off? Well, I'll be darned. It turns out
it was one of nine thousand bombs that the Japanese
World War two. It was a whole thing. Look it up.
There's a history book somewhere. But the Japanese decided, all right,
(20:14):
I know what we're going to do to those Americans.
They launched over nine thousand balloons with bombs on them,
hoping that they would cause widespread panic. And uh, I
mean there'd just be bombs going off off all over
the place and we didn't know what the heck was
going on. Well, about three hundred of these balloons made
(20:37):
it to the United States. Several made it to Nebraska.
There were some of these balloons found in Skyler and
Burwell and Chadron.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Were then were was Nebraska the only place.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
No, the three hundred across America. I imagine a lot
of these just went into the ocean and some whale
was like, Hm, is this a squid I can eat? Yeah,
whil everywhere I don't know if that happened, But I
know that eighty years ago tonight, the one floating over
(21:17):
Dundee was still high in the sky when suddenly it exploded.
It lit up the sky, causing everyone to come outside
and go what was that fireworks? Was one of these
these new fangled cars just backfire out here? There was
probably still a few people calling those automobile. There's new
(21:37):
fangled automobiles there. They're never gonna last the buggy. That's
the way of the future here in this country. And
it didn't do any damage. There was some remnants of
the bomb that exploded that landed near the house of
a guy named Herman down the street here at fifty
first in Underwood. Herman said, tarnation is this old Herman?
(22:04):
And they called the officials and the government said, oh,
don't worry about it. Don't worry about it, don't worry
about nothing to see here. Come over there and they
get it all out of there. It would be a
while after that when when we realized that the Japanese
had tried to have bombs go off across the globe
by balloons. Now, I don't know how many of them
(22:27):
ended up actually detonating anywhere. Again. Most of them either
drifted into the ocean or blew up in the sky
over the ocean, or there was It wasn't a nuclear device.
It was just you know, a bomb, just a probably
like one of those bowling balls with a wick on it.
You know, we'll put it to a balloon, light the wick,
(22:48):
send it up.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
There is a bomb on the side.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, I said, bomb on the side, and let the
thing go and a really long wick. It made it
from Japan to Dundee. But that was that was one
of the attacks here in America. Courtesy of our balloon
(23:12):
bomb now friends in Japan. A bomb went off in
Omaha related to World War Two on this date eighty
years ago, nineteen forty five.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
That is fascinating, and World War II comes to Nebraska.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
To commemorate the event. I'm doing this bomb of a
radio show in exactly the same spot where that thing
went off eighty years ago.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Scott Forties News Radio eleven ten k fad.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I mentioned some of the sad circumstances of this weekend.
We're going to get details today about what happened yesterday
at Florida State. It's the thirtieth anniversary tomorrow of the
Oklahoma City bombing. It's the anniversary this weekend of the
Columbine shooting, but it's also Easter weekend and today on
(24:09):
Good Friday, A blessed good Friday to you. If you're
spending this time cleaning up after storms that cut across
the north and southern parts of the Omaha metro area,
then I hope that that's that's coming along here. Hopefully
it looks like the wind might even die down later
(24:30):
this afternoon, which would be a tremendous help. But just
be thankful that still as of right now, no injuries.
With all these tornadoes, giant hailstones yesterday, there's a lot
to celebrate this weekend, and we'll do that on Easter Sunday.
I hope you and your family have a great one.
