Vintage Voorhees

Grab your crossbow and a Peabo record (like "If Ever You're In My Arms Again," I forgot that one) and let's get into the news of the day ... and various recollections of torturing my babysitter.

Scouting America's Chris Mehaffey and former Omaha mayor Hal Daub are leading a legion of scouts to raise money to put a mini State of Liberty in Turner Park.  Also, beware of "too good to be true" car sales online.

They don't always go together, but we're serving up a big bowl of 'em today!

An email that came in during today's show:  "I was going to drop off my grandma's 16 tires, will I be expected to de-cat them prior to arriving?" --Brandon

Today, we discuss the light and airy topics of ebola, fightin', shootin', human trash pandas, etc.

And not just because Chief Schmaderer is on.  We take a look at the odd decision by Lincoln to close most of their public pools.  Also, GET OFF THE ROPE!!!!!

In honor of our conversation with Cake lead singer John McCrea, we dug into the Vintage Voorhees archives for our tribute to the "I was just taking a wide stance" indecent exposure bathroom arrest of then-Senator Larry Craig of Idaho.  From June of 2007.

Jim Minge of "The Omaha Dispatch" and I pester Cake's John McCrea about their new album, the vibraslap, his unique singing style, and bringing their fun sound to Omaha on June 26th as part of the free concert and fireworks show at Memorial Park with Smokey Robinson.

It's time for our annual reminder that there are hundreds of mustachioed men in Omaha raising money for children, and it's something we need to celebrate, not fear.

Yep, we're getting into it this morning and solving all of society's problems!

Sen. Fischer on gas prices, Fox News' Bret Baier on his new book ("The Case for America"), a Barney Frank update (thanks, Rush!), an argument for/against limits for Supreme Court justices, and more!

Small-town Nebraska steps again yet again in the wake of disaster to help their neighbors, hypocritical college students boo the tech that helped them graduate, and Clint Black tells us about Killin' Time.

"He's Trump!  He's Trump!  He's Trump!  He's President!"

Scott Petersen joins me after pulling off the upset yesterday.  Then, a glimpse at the PO'd presumed Democratic winner in NE-02.

Patriotic Productions has another inspiring Memorial Day weekend's worth of events set for you starting on Friday, May 22nd -- but only if a few hundred of us pitch in and help!

We talk with Bobby Farrelly about "Dumb and Dumber," John Hughes' influence, and his new film "Driver's Ed" (out this Friday).

A contentious and controversial Republican primary race for Secretary in State is coming down to the wire.  I talk with challenger Scott Petersen here; incumbent Bob Evnen talked with Jean Stothert afterwards (in a conversation that will be posted on the KFAB Comment Line podcast link on KFAB's site and here on iHeartRadio).

Ooh-de-Lally in Dundee is more than a restaurant, as you will find in this conversation here.  Then, Jimmy Failla joins us one more time before his Omaha comedy show this weekend.  Finally, Council Bluffs opts to send their homeless problem west across Bob the Bridge.

We started off with the best of intentions today, honoring an oft-forgotten population while also working in a reference to the George Michael song "I Want Your Sex."  Then, we moved on to my careless whispers about self-image, obesity or the lack thereof, designer babies, and more.

Very creative, Scott.  You put a dollar sign in place of the "s" in "gas."  No one has ever done that.  You hack.

And I'm serious about going to your private island with you.  HMU.

If you're looking for my comments on the latest attempt on the President's life, you'll find all of that under the "Nebraska's Morning News" podcast tab.  I wouldn't say I said too much too differently during today's "Vintage Voorhees" hour on that, so I'm finally getting around to posting Friday's show, which included cereal box toys, Dr. A.I., and Rhonda Shear of "USA's Up All Night" fame.

Also:  There might be a condom shortage!
