• 0:00
  Speaker 1: When I moved into Gary Sadlemeyer's shoes here they don't fit.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: I promise you months ago, a live and local host
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: at ten o'clock. It's taken a minute, but it's going
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: to debut this Thursday, and I've already told you this
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: morning what the show is going to be. I just
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: have not introduced you to the host. Now again. The
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: show is we're bringing back the old KFABE Comment Line,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: a show previously hosted by Walt Cavanaugh on the station
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: where callers would call up and talk to Walt Cavanaugh,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and that show sounded a lot like this.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Walt, here we have your comment. Please yeah' Walt, there's
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: a man in my room. Well, have you ever met
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: your husband? Hive?
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I have eight eleven to ten. I would love to
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: do that, but I think we have something better for you.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: The host of the Kfabe Comment Line, which will re
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: debut Thursday at ten am, is a familiar name here
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: in our community, and it's a lot about making a
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: note of the parking lot. It's someone who served on
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the Millard School Board and goes by the name Jean
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Stothert who joins us now, I guess did a little
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: time there in the City Council and oh yeah, the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Mayor's office for twelve years, Mayor Stother, Good morning and
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: welcome to eleven to ten kfab in a very different
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: capacity than you've been on here before.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Yes it is, and I'm happy to do it. So
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: good morning to everybody. You know, I think I've been
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: on your show hundreds of times. I love coming to
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: the studio, I love everybody there, but this is definitely
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: a different role for me and I'm going to enjoy it,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: and I think everybody else will too. You know. The
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: one thing Gary Sattlemy used to say about me is
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: I just talked too much. And you know I do
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: have I do have the gift of gab. But as
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: you said earlier, this is a chance for people to
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: come together every day and speak our mind and you know,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: anything goes so so I'm excited about it and I'm
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: ready for it, and this is going to be a
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: lot of fun.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Here, I suggest that you change your name to
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Geno Rourke for this show. You need, you need a
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: radio name. How about Geno Rourke? You thought of that?
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Well, you know what, Gino Rourke happens to be my
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: legal name.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, but I was elected Jean stother to
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: the school board, to the city Council, to the mayor's office,
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: and that's what people know.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: And so I still use the name Jean Stothard in Omaha.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: I just don't like to label the former mayor of
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Omaha Jean Stothard. I think there's not a living creature
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: in Omaha that doesn't know that I am not the
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: mayor anymore. So we can let that go. We don't
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: have to call me the former mayor of Omaha.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: It's going to be probably awkward at times, especially since
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you will be taking live phone calls. Let's kind of
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: talk about what this show is and is not. It
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: is a forum for you, not just you as host,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: but also you the listener, to send an emails the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: message via the talk back what Mike here, via our
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: free iHeartRadio app, and call the show and talk about
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: that going on in our community and things going on
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: around the world that impact us here in Omaha and
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: around the area. It's also certainly and here's what the
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: show is not. It's not Jean stoth playing secretary and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: just welcoming your phone calls in the way that Jim
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Rose was impersonating Walt Cavanaugh. This is your whow we
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: have your comment and I want a lot of the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: stuff there that is brought up by callers and emails
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: to reflect what's going on that's the big topic in
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: town today and your position to uniquely speak about it.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: So let's kind of do a little run through here.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: This will debut Thursday at ten, and I want to
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: know what it's like for you and the Mayor's office.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Let's say, as Saint Coole just opens up and swallows
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: two cars hole near x Starbon Village, what is that
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: morning like for you when that happens.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: You know, I mean being mayor, every morning is busy
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: and every day brings something new into what is going
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: on in the city. But you know, like you mentioned before,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: this is a chance for the listeners to speak up
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: and sound off about things going around town, around Omaha,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: the state, the world, and the impact here in Omaha.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: I will tell you plenty of things. We can talk
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: about sinkholes, and we could talk about potholes, and we
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: could talk about the streetcar. I have plenty to say.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: But we're going to be interviewing guests from time to time,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: and we really want to hear what you have to
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: say too. I do believe I have a lot of
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: knowledge about what is going on in Omaha, and I should.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, after twelve years of being mayor. But we
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: could talk about the roads, we could talk about the streetcar,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: we could talk about anything. So we're here to take
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: your calls to let you speak, and then I, as
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: we said before, I will have plenty to say too.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I got a let me roll play here for you. Okay,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: you're going to get this. Hey, Geen, how are you
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: doing this morning? John Ewing's an idiot? What are you
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: going to say?
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, my role with this new position I'm
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: going to take is not to go on the air
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: and criticize the current administration at all. But I will
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: tell the truth and I will bring the facts out
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: because I know a lot of what has gone on
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: in the past, and I think that's what viewers want.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: They want to hear, really what's going on. I'm not
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: a politician anymore. I'm done with politics, so I'm not
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: going to be sitting here worrying about my next election
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: or any other thing political. We're going to talk about
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: the facts and the data and what's on people's mind,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: and we're going to talk about the truth.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I said, do it. Do we want to welcome
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: phone calls? And Jean Stouth said, I want phone calls.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I want listener interaction. I want to be able to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: speak my mind. Just no talk about the street car,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: and we will be I'll be the first caller. I'm
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: going to be calling from my and say hey gee.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Tim Rose will be calling me about the street car.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I know as much about the street car as I
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: think anybody, and I am more than willing to take
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: anybody's calls. One thing I love doing is interacting with people.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: I did that with when I was mayor. I did
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: over seventy town hall meetings and I never screened the questions.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I never hadn't give me the questions ahead of time.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: I took them the way that they were presented to me.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: And that's what we're going to do with KFAB.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: And that starts Thursday at ten am. I'll be in
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: there with you for probably the first week or so.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Producer Peyton high Lock will be in there and he'll
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: kind of serve as Roz from The Fraser Show, teeing
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: up callers and emailers and helping you with the more
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: radio thing. One thing that you do is speak your
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: mind and will help you kind of keep it between
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the dishes and on time. Here Thursday morning at ten am.
