Nebraska's Morning News

Thankfully, it also began with an infusion of patriotism over Memorial Day weekend, Husker baseball and softball excitement (even with the newsworthy ejection!), and more!

Those topics are not necessarily in that order. We also tried rhino-tranq and GTA, took 40-year-olds shots of New Coke, talked to Greg Wagner from NE Game and Parks, and more!

We talked this morning about bad teachers, Trump's plan to fix up DC, A.I., and more. One or two of these topics led to emails from several female members of KFAB Nation to "Please smack Jim Rose!"

As well as China now celebrating Russia, a "showboat" in Charlotte, and more!

Thanks to statements from these two elected officials, we have a lot to talk about this morning!

And a lot of other s that doesn't start with S.

We're neither "DJs" nor "sarcastically happy," but I decided to title the podcast with a comment that popped up on the air right after a fun round of Jim and I yelling at each other (good naturedly) off the air. What did we talk about today? VIP snorkeling, NU's ticket policy, living in a retirement community, Jim's favorite clothing brands (yes, that came up), a visit from Greg Wagner from Game and Parks, and so much more!

Today, we give you a bit more election fallout, an invitation to this Saturday's noon dedication of the USS Omaha Memorial, updates on President Trump in China, and more!

Jim declares a winner in the NE-2 Dem race, NE GOP chair Mary Jane Truemper responds to Republican in-fighting, Rep. Mike Flood talks gas prices, Sean Callahan on the CSC ruling, and more!

Not just from Jim Rose and me, but from Sen. Ricketts, a Regent candidate, and lots of your emails and Talkback Mic messages. (Our "Official Conspiracy Theorist, Lucy Chapman, was restrained by a team of professionals who kept her busy with the UFO files dumped over the weekend.)

And college hackers, other teams coming for our QB recruit, Greg Wagner from NE Game and Parks, and more!

See if you pick up on that during today's conversation about Ted Turner! Also, we learn a lot about stud fees (no one asked), the hantavirus, and more.

At least it wasn't a bill from Omaha for $828! We did more than talk about dollar amounts this morning, we also talked about ... other stuff. (Did I mention I was out late last night?)

On this Cinco de Mayo, we also happen to be one week away from Nebraska's Primary Election Day. Douglas County Election Commissioner Danielle Jensen gives you all the rules on that, and Secretary of State challenger Scott Petersen talks about why he should get your vote. We also talk today about Rhule at the Derby, Lucy's gas tank, my farpin' problem with FARP, and more!

Today, it's gas prices, drought, a giant Golden Trump statue, Star Wars Day, and so much more!

What an odd news cycle, involving President Trump, Jimmy Kimmel, John Hinckley Jr, Chuck Grassley, the King of England, and many others. We discuss them all!

Why is this happening so often, and why do so many think it's so funny? (Maybe I just answered my own question.)

Plus: Emery Songer joins us for most of today's show while Jim Rose is out!

Today, we talk about the accusations against the Southern Poverty Law Center, Nebraska seniors leading the nation in getting scammed, "Trump Time" in Iran, in-state tuition for illegal immigrants, and more!
