UNO / Fashion Nazi / Wacky Weed Crackdown

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Vorgie.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
So much to discuss this morning. I've got to start
with basketball, Lucy, why don't you start? Well?

Speaker 3 (00:10):
I was very sad to see that you and O
is no longer in the what do you call it
the dance? Is it the dance?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
The whole thing is a dance. Yes, in march madness.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Yeah, they almost missed the dance.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah, it's all right, let's start with you and O.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
Aren't you impressed at all.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
With the fact that that, actually it is more than
I expected.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
I would to have people around you that expect very
little from you.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
I spent a year at the University Nebraska at Omaha
circa nineteen ninety seven. It was my junior year of college,
two years at Carney. Got a job here working in
the radio ian Omaha, and took classes at UNO and
had them transfer back to Carney, which was an easy

(01:03):
thing to do. It's the Nebraska system. And if you
would have told me then this little school where no
one lives on campus except for like a couple of
international students, but no one lives on this campus. The
people who go to school here, if you ask them,
do we have sports teams at the school. Most of

(01:25):
them would have said, I don't think so. If you
would have said at that time, in just a few
years from now, all right, a few decades from now,
in almost thirty years from now, this school is going
to be playing in March Madness, I would have slapped
your mama. You're telling Wait a second, we're not even

(01:46):
d one do we don't? I don't even think we
have a team like. No, No, We've got a team
and it's gonna it's gonna get bigger and better. Has
the football team gonna continue to do well? Something about
let's focus on the basketball. What about the wrestlers? Are
they gonna be? Okay? Let's just's just talk about MAB
basketball for a second.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Do you call them wrestlers?

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Wrestlers?

Speaker 3 (02:09):
You said wrestlers?

Speaker 2 (02:10):
I thought, what about the wrestlers? Are they gonna be? Okay?
Trev Alberts is gonna take over this school and he's
gonna position the UNO Maverick basketball team. Wait a second.
Ronald Reagan, the actor, Yeah, if you would have told
me thirty years almost thirty years ago that the UNO

(02:31):
MAVs would be playing at the Big Dance, it was
incredibly unbelievable. Look, I'll be even more infuriating, the students
who went to UNO didn't even admit they went to UNO.
Like people would be like jogging through Elmwood Park and

(02:54):
you'd be parking some play. I'm not gonna pay for parking.
I'll park way over here in the neighborhood and I'll
just walk through trees up the hill to campus. And people, you, like,
people you went to high school with, would be jogging
through there and they're like, oh, hey, you got a
backpack on. You're going towards you and O you go
to school there? No, no, I don't. What are you doing.

(03:15):
I'm selling drugs in the park. Like, okay, good, I
thought you were going to school at U and O. No, no, no, no,
I'm just gonna hang out in the Elmwood Park bathrooms
all night. All right, you have fun. So, I mean
that was it was. It was better for your reputation
to say you were selling drugs and hanging out in

(03:37):
Elmwood Park bathrooms all night than to say that you
were a U and O student. There was no campus
I mean, there was no campus life there. Everyone just
kind of walked around and shuffled this way and that.
But the thing about is. I know it sounds infuriating.
Was I thought my teachers were really great and I

(03:59):
got to I got a good year's worth of education.
I'm not I'm clearly not using it, but it was.
It made you think, like, well, how come Omaha can't
have a real school here? We got the University of
Nebraska at Omaha. Why can't this be a real school.

(04:20):
We need some dorms. We got some dorms, and and
then things just kind of took off. And then when
Trev Alberts as athletic director, you and O retooled, to
put it mildly, it was so we could get to
that moment last night as a first step, because we

(04:40):
would joke like, yeah, I suppose you know you and
O is now in the Summit League. Whoever wins the
Summit League gets that automatic berth into March madness. Hey,
someone's got to lose to Saint John's. And boy, for
half of the game last night, especially the first moments
of that game last night, you and wasn't just hanging

(05:01):
They were hanging it on Saint John's. I think everyone
kind of knew, though coach Rick Pattino kind of knows
what he's doing and it was the same thing that
Saint John's did the other day against Creighton. They looked
pretty bad for a half, and then in the second

(05:21):
half they just they just got going. They're like the
Kansas City Chiefs, like, are we done messing around? Are
we gonna win this game? All right, let's go win
this game. But you and O, first things first, you've
got to get there. They did a great job getting there,

(05:41):
and Coach Crutchfield and everyone throwing trash cans around in
that locker room, they have a lot to be very,
very proud of. They're probably not feeling it now. They're like, man,
we were beating them. What happened? We panicked, We panicked,
but we were all right. First step, get there, and
you and O got a lot of attention in getting there.

(06:05):
Why it wasn't that long ago that all Creighton had
to do was just get there. This little school out
of the old Missouri Valley Conference. Okay, Creighton, Well see
how you do it? You just gotta start building. And
Creighton played great yesterday. As I predicted on kfab's morning

(06:27):
News yesterday, Neil would have a big game, and Jamiah
Neil stepped up. You kind of knew that he would
be an afterthought, and as they focused so much on
Colkbrenner and Ashworth, Neil as a senior with a lot
of pride who's had a good season, played out of
his mind, They're gonna have to keep it up. They

(06:47):
got the number one overall seed Auburn tomorrow evening just
after six o'clock. Go Jays, Scott. Aren't you one of
those people the cheers for Husker football? Yes, here for
Husker football, at yer for Husker basketball. I cheer for
creaton basketball. It's here for you and o Scott, can't you? Hey?

(07:09):
I want joy in my life and if local teams
are doing well, I'm going to root for him. Well,
who do you root for? If? I don't know? I
just I just like to watch the game and be happy.
How about you leave me alone? Who are you arguing with?
Who are you arguing with? Sorry? Where was I? Let's
talk about Nazis. The allegation here is that at Omaha

(07:32):
Fashion Week, someone who's been involved with a fashion show
for years, someone who is involved as has like an
active role purchasing fashionable clothes for a local retailer, has
become senior vice president of women's merchandising for this big retailer.

(07:56):
Someone who doesn't look based on what you see on
social media, doesn't look like a Nazi, or someone who's like, look,
I don't want to look like a Nazi. But when
I get together with my fellow Nazis, we Nazi. Boy,
do we Nazi? We furre it up pretty good. I'm

(08:17):
not getting any of those vibes. Now. It is possible,
I could be wrong. It's happened once. So what happened here, Well,
this particular designer was one of several I think they
have at one hundred and fifty models. I don't know
how many designers are then putting clothing on the models

(08:39):
at Omaha Fashion Week. Now, Omaha Fashion Week is super
super fun. Lucy, you ever done Omaha Fashion Week? You
ever been down there and been a part of all that?

Speaker 3 (08:50):
No, unfortunately I have not.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Oh it's a blast, so I haven't been down there
in years. But it's a it's as I remember it,
absolute bla. You got models and designers and there's all
these people running all over the place with like you know,
some of that it's a tape measure, but it's not
the one that like that you know, contractors would use

(09:14):
that comes out of the big steel tape measure thing.
It's it's like a belt. It's this loose tape measure
all over the place. And there's guys running around, you know,
full of glitter and they're like, hell, hey, I need frills,
you know, and they're running. People are running all over
the place, and the models all look disinterested and slightly angry,

(09:35):
which I think is the look they're supposed to have
in their face. And there's like someone dressed like a
giant peacock that's running around. You're like, is that security
is on a model? I don't know what that is.
And it's just it's just crazy. It's nuts. And that's
all happening backstage. And then you're sitting out in front
of the stage and pet and models come out and
they look great and they're calmly walking around, you know,

(09:56):
around doing that whole thing. Meanwhile behind the scene means
people are getting punched out. Everyone's crying. Model. I mean,
it's it's great. Did oh No, it's just it's it's
bedlam back there. It's just it's bedlam. Scott, what were
you well? Because remember, I don't know if you remember this.

(10:19):
But in a previous life, I did a lot of
work with the Miss USA pageants and there was some
hybrid models and activities and things going on. So Scott,
it sounds like you were just unnecessarily hanging out backstage
where the models were. Oh is that how it sounds?

(10:42):
That's that's also how it sounds to make anyway, It's fun,
it's a great time. And so I tell you all
this to let you know that when they say, like, well,
we check all the models to make sure no one
goes out on the runway with anything inappropriate. On first,
most of the designs are on some level inappropriate. I mean,

(11:05):
for life, who you see these things on a model.
It's like, I'm dressed like an F eighteen fighter. I've
got giant wings off the side and they're very sharp,
and I'm wearing a ten foot tall Tierra and I'm
wearing leggings that cover up barely anything. And this is
versatile for a night out on the town or going

(11:27):
to work on Monday morning. You're like, no, it's not.
This is the whole thing, Like, how are you gonna
how are you gonna drive with this on? This is ridiculous.
This whole thing is inappropriate. So like, I don't. I've
never seen anyone in real life dress like the models
that they put these clothes together, these outfits together for
the models for various fashion shows.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
And you've never watched the met gallo.

Speaker 2 (11:51):
Now I guess I haven't, But I never see any
of that in real life. Right, It's like, here's the
fashion designer from Uno. It's a person throwing a trash can,
like half wearing and half throwing a trash can, a
little more Maverick basketball action for you. Trying to keep
the guys interested in this, Scott what we are interested?
You're talking about Nazis and models. Get to it, all right.
So a model comes out there wearing a jacket with

(12:14):
a big black and white swastika on the back. I
say that in question mark because I've seen pictures of this,
and I mean, yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:31):
Are you saying it doesn't You're not one hundred percent
sure that's what it is? Is that what I'm getting
from you.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
I will tell you what two different groups of people
think it is. You've got the designer herself who said
the design this is a statement. She released a KMTV
Pardon me three says the design for the outfit in
Omaha Fashion Week came from an antique pinwheel quilt remnant

(13:02):
that I purchased from a well known store in central
Nebraska two years ago. And there are other people who
quilt and say, actually yes, and I've seen on social
media here is a giant piece of paper that's got
like eighty different thought starters for quilting patterns. And there
are variations of this, including this specific thing on there.

(13:26):
I don't know a handful of times. It's kind of
a it's a pinwheel design, so like you know a pinwheel, right,
You've got one little flange kind of floating after another,
and it's you could see it there as a sideways
thing spinning in pinwheel fashion. You could also set it

(13:48):
up right, and I suppose you could look like what
this other group of people see. They see a swastika. Yeah,
I can see that too, because it's a very similar pattern,
a pinwheel a swastika. This is where I think I

(14:10):
think the context means everything. Was this model walking down
the runway doing the sighail thing? Was she pointed out
like there's one and there's one over there. Looking for
minorities or people of various demographic checkboxes that she the
model didn't like being this neo nazi. Was she handing

(14:34):
out papers? Was she wearing a red hat whatever it
is that you think these Nazis are all about. Was
the model doing any of that. No, the model was
doing model stuff, walking around in a very jagged way
or fluid or however the models walk. And I don't

(14:54):
know that anyone at the show ever gasped and said,
look that. And there were probably some people, some critics
and so forth. That's how daring that she would wear
a swastika out there. Well, I think that the swastika
supposed to speak out against the bluh blah blah. I mean,

(15:15):
you probably had some people that are like, yep, that's
a swastika, and I think it's fantastic. How you know,
to rub it right in people's faces. You know, it's art,
it's all art. Well, you've got the social media mob
all surrounding the Facebook page of Omaha Fashion Week, because
Fashion Week put out a statement said we the image

(15:41):
is triggering. As much as we say our community does
not allow hate speech and we don't allow bullying. People
will slip things through. We stopped them as soon as
we know about it, so they said that as soon
as someone said, hey, I think that model is wearing
a swastika on the jacket, they the jacket offer and
said out and all that stuff, and they issued an

(16:05):
apology after there were various people associated with the show
that demanded answers on social media from Omaha Fashion Week.
There's one person who used to do stuff with Fashion
Week who apparently got this little pinwheel rolling. And finally
Fashion Week said, yes, this is just terrible, and we apologize,

(16:29):
but we didn't have anything to do with it. It slipped through.
Now the designer said, it's a pinwheel, it's a black
and white, it's off on the side, it's a pinwheel
quilt design. It's a quilt remnant. I got it from
a quilt that I picked up in Central Nebraska. So

(16:51):
Fashion Week said that this particular designer would not be
invited back. They've issued an apology to everybody, and the
social media mob is saying we need to find her
and shut her down. Now they haven't connected the dots
that she works for a big clothing retailer in the area.

(17:17):
I'm waiting for them to start their boycott, which would
be terrible. Because look, don't. I don't know this girl.
Her name's Kelly. She looks nice, her family looks nice,
she's involved in local fashion stuff. I don't. I mean,

(17:38):
if she wanted to say this is the platform where
I'm going to espouse my hyl Hitler like thoughts, probably
would have done it more in your face than this.
But I'm not seeing any of it. I just don't
see any of it. I don't. I see people posting
pictures of quilt pattern and I see the same pattern

(18:01):
on there that old ladies are using when they're making quilts.
And I don't even think that the jacket had like
this big design on it. I don't. I haven't seen
to where it looked like this was the big part
of the design. I think it was just a part

(18:22):
of the design. But the social media mob, they are
working really hard to shut her down, So we'll see
what ends up happening with that. I would hate to

(18:43):
see the local managers and employees of a particular local
clothing retailer sudden they have to deal with the aftershocks
of people who think that this designer is a Nazi.
Scott twenty two thousand and five hundred and one customers
now without power that is down a couple thousand since

(19:05):
last night. Still eighty six hundred and thirty eight in
Douglas County without power, and we've got hundreds of crews
from across the Midwest dispatched throughout the area trying to
put everything back together and restore power poles and all
the rest of it. After the storm a couple of
days ago, which is one of the largest outage events

(19:29):
in OPPD history and ranks fifth Lucy, And the biggest
one is last summer's windstorm July thirty first, two hundred
nineteen thousand OPBD customers without power. After that, it's July
of twenty twenty one, that's when we lost our tree
in our front yard, the Durratio hurricane force winds that

(19:53):
came through here in June of two thousand and eight,
when we were down at the Summer Arts Festival festival saying, hey,
we might want to start kind of boxing everything up
down here. I understand it's getting bad. The October nineteen
ninety seven snowstorm, and then number five, the twenty twenty
five blizzard from two days ago, and people look at
this and go see, climate change is real. The top

(20:17):
outage events at OPPD history are all in the last
few years. Yes, you'll have a hard time finding any
large outage events from one hundred or one hundred and
fifty years ago. And you know why that is because
they didn't have electricity.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
Some people did one hundred years ago.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
One hundred and fifty years ago, they didn't have let's
go fifty years ago. How come there weren't some fifty
years ago because there weren't as many OPPD customers back then.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
Yeah, but is this what we can expect now that
the weather is being manipulated by climate or a factors.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Sounds like Lucy has a conspiracy theory.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
I was waiting for that couple of emails, fat couple
of emails here in the Zonker's custom Woods inbox Scott
at kfav dot com regarding the alleged Nazi at Omaha
Fashion Week. I have now seen a picture now of
the back of the jacket. Thank you Jeremy for sending
me this. Yeah, the pinwheel pattern, which certainly it looks

(21:27):
like a pinwheel or it looks like a swastika, but
it is. It's a fairly large pattern on the back
of this denim jean jacket. Lucy, where's your denim jean jacket?
Did they take your stonewash nineteen eighty two denim jean jacket?

Speaker 3 (21:42):
Yeah, somebody came and got it, and they said they
were just going to put some stuff on the back
and we can get it back to me soon.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
So what are you gonna wear to the night Ranger
concert this weekend?

Speaker 3 (21:52):
Well, it's okay because that's already happened.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
They were just in town, weren't they.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah, Oh did you just pull that came out of
the air? I did, yes, and they were just here.
I want to say. It was last weekend or the
weekend before.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah. I tried to call my friend Christian. She was
he she her name wasn't Her name wasn't Christian. It
was sister Christian. She's a she's a good Yeah anyway,
uh so it yeah, it was. It was a big
design on the back of the jacket. And the online

(22:27):
social media mob says she's a Nazi. She says, it's
a quilt pinwheel. It's a quilt remnant. And and here
are our various quilt designs, including this one, this specific
black and white pinwheel design. I'm not a Nazi. Now,
Ryan email Scott a kfab dot com and says people

(22:49):
who apologize for being racist generally aren't racist. Well, first
of all, that's not what she's doing. She's saying, I'm
not racist. This isn't a swastika. But to Ryan's point,
and I've said this several times, people who are racist
generally have no problem telling you just how racist they are.

(23:13):
They're like, are you racist? Darn right? I don't like
any of them inuits. You're like, that's weird. So that's
there is that, And thank you Ryan for jogging my
memory on that front. Well, if we can't go see
Night Ranger this weekend, what are we going to do?
The Attorney General the state of Nebraska, Mike Hilgers, doesn't

(23:36):
want you to have any unlawful products containing THC. You
might remember it was a couple of months ago he
sent these letters to several different stores and said, we've
tested your products. In these stores. Some of them are
smoke shops, vape shops. You can get all kinds of

(24:00):
this or that, or gummies or various things. We've tested
this stuff, and what do you know, a lot of
these places with big neon glowing flashing pots pot leaves
as their logos for the store. Turns out they're selling
an illegal amount of THC in their various edibles and

(24:20):
smoky things and all the rest of this stuff. And
the shop owners are like, what meet, what hang on?
You know? Let let's very so, I mean, I.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
Don't let me get a hit off. That follow that statement, yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Tested, Yeah, various shop owners when the Attorney general. The
Attorney General said, we we've tested. We checked the various
concentration of this or that, whether it's delta this or
THHC that or whatever. We found it to be over
the legal limit and h and all the store own

(25:00):
issued a statement and it said, and I quote bro bummer.
So the Attorney General's office says, we're going to shut
you guys down unless you stop doing this. And they
said okay, And then they came back. It turns out

(25:20):
there's even more stores that are selling this.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
They didn't stop.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
No, they didn't stop. There's more stores selling this stuff.
And then here's what I think is the funniest part
of all of this. The Attorney General's office said, now, hey,
we told you guys, we're going to shut you down.
You've got to stop selling these synthetically produced over the
legal limit THC containing products. It's putting your license at risk,

(25:46):
and we're going to shut down your business. And they're like, bro,
and they said all right. The Attorney General's office said
you've got to get all this stuff off the shelves.
And the store owner said, how much time do we have?
And they how much time do you think if you've
got one of these strip mall stores or someplace by
your mom's house. By the way, that by your mom's house.

(26:08):
Bit comes from a series of local retailers who's frankly
name of those particular shops I did not see in
this list of stores, So I don't mean to lump
them in with this. I don't know. I don't know
who's doing what. I don't care. I know that there
are some people because I talked to someone and they said, oh, yeah,

(26:29):
I love I love that stuff. I'm like, but some
of these people are like, hey, if you got various
aches and pains or just you know, a bad vibe
top in here, and you can take some of this
stuff and like it's not really like it doesn't get
you like completely all bomb, does it? And this guy said, oh, yeah,
it does. I'm like, wait what, he goes, Oh yeah,

(26:50):
it's crazy, dude. I'm like, you know, I don't need that.
I'll just drink a whole bottle of othern comfort. I
don't need your wacky annibals and all the rest of
this stuff. I don't mess with that.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
So they're talking about lotions and stuff too.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
And some of that stuff. So how much if you
got one of these little store fronts and a strip mall,
how long do you think it would take to get
all the stuff that the Attorney General's Office just told you, Like,
here are all the products in your stores that are
over the legal limit. You've got to get rid of them.
How long do you think that would take?

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Well, my first question would be if I was one
of these people, I'd say, where am I going to
put it?

Speaker 2 (27:38):
You give it back to the what the distributor? Wait
what you say? Come back here and get all your junk?
How long? How long do you think it would take
to give them stuff? An hour? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (27:49):
Maybe whatever? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:50):
The Attorney General's Office gave these stores thirty days to
get this stuff off. Sell it, yeah, get yeah, get
it off the shelf. I know some people are gonna
help me get it off the shelf. So what you're saying,
just give it away. No, no more of this stuff.
So in case you're looking for it for whatever reason,

(28:14):
official say, Official say, yeah, it takes it thirty days,
because the first they have to spend a couple of
weeks thinking about it, and then they had spent a
week thinking that they already did it. Remember the guys
who would just hang out at the front of the
door at the antiquarium and anytime at the day or

(28:36):
night you go in there, they would be sitting there
and they'd say, good morning. You look at your watch,
You look at your Cassio or swatchwatch in nineteen ninety
four though six thirty pm, and you just say good morning,
and you go downstairs and look at records. Yes, I
love that place. So if you if it is if
for some reason that you want to buy some of

(28:58):
this stuff, or or if you're wondering, do I have
any of this stuff? Officials say. The names of the
products include Cushy Exotic THHC, A Flower, Flying Flying Horse,

(29:19):
Vape nine G and road Trip Gummies. Road Trip road
Trip Gummies. Yeah, hopefully not for the drivers. So cushy, exotic,
THHCA flower, flying horse, vape nine G and road trip gummies. Also.
Some other names may or may not include the following

(29:40):
disco duck, bowing, cloudseed, frisky, authoritarian, nutcups, cupped nuts, obese, schoolgirl, whistling, bungholes, TJ.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
Miller those are fireworks, those aren't.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
Hoosker dues, hoosker don'ts bullied, Ukrainian or stained grass window.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Scott Voice News Radio eleven ten kfab.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Regarding the accusation of Nazism, you know the swastika pattern
which the designer of this jacket at fashion week, she says, No,
it's a quilt pinwheel. Here's the pattern with all the
other quilt patterns that your aunt is dealing with right now.
It's a pinwheel. They're like, it's a swastika. We're not

(30:34):
going to take any anti semitism here. And a lot
of the people online who are complaining about this are
very quick to tie it in to Maga and Trump
and all the rest of it, which is interesting. Chris
Email says Scott, I find it ironic that people like
Trump and MAGA supporters are called Nazis, and that the

Israeli Jewish hostages. He said, quote, they have been there
for over five hundred days. Yet we have people in
my party, Democrats, preoccupied with an activist at Columbia University.

(31:38):
