  Speaker 1: hour here. Chip Maxwell back to wrap up the week tomorrow.

  Speaker 2: Peyton.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Peyton.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I almost called you. Baylock. Peyton, good morning.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Gary.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: How are you this morning? Good to see you. I'm well,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: thank you.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: And look, I thought what we'd do here, because it is,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: after all, the KFAB Comment Line is titled that for
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: a reason. So, in the spirit of that, anything... That
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: you want to say or ask, I don't know if
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I'll have answers, but anything you want to contribute here,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: we're open for that, 558-1110. Okay, that's the call-in number.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: And I have a couple of emails. The regular one, Peyton, right,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: is comment at kfab.com for the Comment Line Show.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: That is correct.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I also have mine open, which I always use on
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the morning show, studio at kfab.com. So either one of
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: those or a phone call or whatever you want to do.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Is fine.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Uh, one of the big items, obviously, uh, the news
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: broke yesterday that, uh, the university of, uh, Nebraska announced
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the reseating plan for football.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: For the stadium. And, um, I don't know.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: It's obviously all about money and, and you can go to,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I think it's, uh, It's a big red receipt.com. You
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: can find the website and get the details on it. But, uh,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: if you are a, uh, a season ticket holder, what
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: do you think about this? Now, obviously when they're redoing
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the stadium, uh, there's going to have to be some
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: disruption this coming season because they're going to have what, uh,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: 20 some thousand fewer seats than we have now. Um,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: And so some people aren't going to be able to
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: get in there that are used to getting in there.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: But if you're a seasoned ticket holder, particularly if you're
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: a legacy seasoned ticket holder, which meant that you have
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: had the seats for a long time and your contribution
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: for the privilege of having those seats is minimal, that's
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: going away. And possibly, and in many cases certainly, going
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: away with it, is.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Your seat.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Because you are not going to be able to afford
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: whatever the new requirement is for contributions. I have friends
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: who have maybe the best seats in the stadium. In fact,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I've been able to use them from time to time.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: West Stadium, 27 rows up, and about the 50-yard line.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: And They've been in the family, Peyton. They've been in
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the family for, I don't know, 100, I don't know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: back probably 100 years. I heard Rosie this morning talking
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: about his family's seats, you know, 100 and some years.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: And that's all different now. That's all going to be
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: different for those legacy ticket holders. And it's going to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: raise a heck of a lot more money than the
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: stadium makes during football season now. And all of that.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: But I can imagine a lot of people are going
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to say, I'm done. Even if they could afford it,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: they're going to say, I'm done.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I'm done.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I'm done with all of the manipulation. I'm done with
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: everything being about money. I've supported this program since I
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: was old enough to know anything. And I go and
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I pay. But I'm done. And others are saying, okay, well,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: we'll see what's possible here. For this coming season, or
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: this current, not this current season, but for next season,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: and I've got some of the particulars here, everybody for
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the coming season will have to find different seats or
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: reapply for seats for the coming season because of the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: disruption in the stadium configuration. For the following season, when
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the stadium's done, And we got 80,000 or whatever the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: final number is. That's when the screws really get turned
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: on people who want good seats. I mean, that's just
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the way it's going to be. It's the way it's
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: going to be, Gary. And I wonder what is the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: best way to cue the people up to pick their seats.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Who gets first priority? Is it how much you donate?
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: How.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: You've had seats priority-wise with seniority?
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know about that.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I think it's mostly going to be keyed to donation level.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: And it will be. And I don't know how I
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: feel about that. I understand the money coming in. We
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: talked about it yesterday with Chris Baker, and I know
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: it's for Nebraska volleyball, but something that was talked about
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: was if you want to have those first five rows,
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: you need to.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Donate $ 20, 000 per seat.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: To keep your tickets.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Is that what it's going to be? Season tickets.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: And that's volleyball. I'm sure the numbers and the money
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: in football is way bigger.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Right, right.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: It's a lot of money.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Liz. This is the KFAB comment line.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Gary Saddlemyer here for Gene Stothert this morning. And Liz,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: you're on NewsRadio 1110 KFAB.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Good morning.
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: Thank you, Gary.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: You bet.
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: Great to have you.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: I don't know if you have any say, or I
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: know Jim does, but I'm talking about the Nebraska Hall
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: of Fame.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: The State Hall of Fame.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: The State Hall of Fame.
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: But, you know, he's up for sainthood, and just think
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: what he has done, not just for Omaha, but the
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: international presence that Boys Town has had.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: And your question is?
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: Well, what do you think of that idea, and is
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: there anything you can do to promote that?
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: He's not in the Hall of Fame yet. I'm sure
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: he is.
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: I don't think so. I'm not sure, but I don't
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: think so.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, I can't imagine. Let me put it this way.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I haven't looked at the list lately, but I can't
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: imagine that Father Flanagan is not in the Hall of Fame.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Have you looked that up? He is. Yeah, yeah.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: He is in the Hall of Fame.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there are many. Yeah, he's obviously well-deserving. Thank you, Liz,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: for the call. I have a couple names in my head.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that I know are in there, Father Flanagan, one of them,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Willa Cather. There are many names in there who you
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: don't know. You just don't know. I mean, they were
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: obviously deserving in their field or whatever, but they're not
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: household names today in 2026. And Tom Osborne becoming the
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: first living inductee because of a legislative change that was required. Nobody,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody can imagine a time where people
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: down 35, 40, 50 years from now say, you know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: that guy wasn't very, he wasn't a very good guy.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: He shouldn't have been inducted. The reason for that 35-year thing,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you had to be dead 35 years before you were eligible,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: was in case some skeletons came rattling out of your
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: closet that we didn't know about at the time. Or
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: it was reconsidered about the level of your contribution to
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the state. But that's not going to be the case
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: with Tom Osborne, and I'm I'm thrilled for him, and
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I was able to see James Rose, who did the
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: nomination speech, and it was just beautiful. Very eloquent, as
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Jim always is. Anyway, you want to weigh in on
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: that or anything else, the tickets? Whatever's on your mind.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: This is, after all, the KFAB comment line. I heard
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the discussion about Ella Langley's song, Choose in Texas. being
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: named now the greatest or most successful song in the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: history of American music because it's been on what number
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: one for the longest period of time. And then the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: guys got into a discussion along with Lucy about what's
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the greatest song ever. All of these discussions come down
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: to what's your favorite. There is no greatest song of
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: all time unless you want to just go by statistics
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: like Ella Langley being number one or choosing Texas being
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: number one for that. By the way, I'm going to
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: go see her. She'll be in Lincoln, I think it's
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the 30th. I wonder how good of a performer she is.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: October 30th. Oh, I can imagine she's wonderful.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: I can imagine she's good.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: You know that song, right?
• 9:22
  Speaker 9: I do.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, man. Yeah.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: One of those that I haven't been able to escape.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Hear it everywhere. Obviously, it's popular, but I can't escape it.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: So if you want to take a shot at what
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: your favorite song is, look, there is no greatest anything.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: There's only your favorite. Because you always have, who is
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the greatest? When it comes to sports now, now you
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: can look at statistics. And so then it becomes a
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: little more objective. And if you want to say being
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: number one for the longest period of time is in statistics,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: that's valid i guess you want to say that's the
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: greatest song but like scott said christmas is going to
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: come around and uh All I Want for Christmas is
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: You by Mariah Carey is probably going to retake the
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: number one spot because it goes to number one for
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: several weeks every year.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: That song will feed her and her family for the
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: rest of time.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: And why not? It is awesome. It really is. That's good.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: If you want to weigh in on your favorite, my
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: personal favorite, I don't know. There's so many great ones.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: I'm surprised no MJ songs, no Michael Jackson was talked
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: about today.
• 10:34
  Speaker 10: I don't know how well he did in the charts, but...
• 10:36
  Speaker 10: I can tell you what my favorite song title of
• 10:38
  Speaker 10: all time is. And they got to go to the
• 10:40
  Speaker 10: country category for that, right?
• 10:42
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: There was a song way back in the mists, I
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: don't know, 50s, 60s, whatever it was, by Porter Wagner.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Speaking of Dolly Parton, they were partners. He gave her
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: her big break.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: The song is titled, I've Enjoyed As Much Of This
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: As I Can Stand. Now, that's the greatest song.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: All right, a couple other things that I wanted to
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: toss out there. We are obviously in the throes of
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: political ad season. And we turn the calendar over to
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: October here next week, and that means we're just about
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: down to a month before the actual election, even though
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: people are voting early already, which is outrageous on its
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: face to me. But anyway, that's the way it is.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: So anyway, we're seeing all of these political ads. And
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: all of the politicians, most of the politicians, not all,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: are about the business of casting their opponent as the
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: spawn of Satan. All of the political professionals that I've
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: ever heard say negative campaigning works. That's why it's out
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: there all the time. To me, there are two categories.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: of negative campaigning. One's legitimate, one's disgusting. The legitimate one
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: is if the negative ad is, the criticism is actually legitimate.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: In other words, based on what your opponent stands for
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: or has said or has done, and it's not personal.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: That's legitimate negative campaigning. The other kind I just hate,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: which is what you see all the time, They find
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: the least flattering picture of their opponent, number one. They
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: find several pictures like that. Just make them look horrible.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: And then you'd think at the end of the ad
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: that that person is, how did that person escape being
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: in prison for the rest of his life or her life?
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're just like, they're just horrible. But those
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: are the ones often that are effective. And the one
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: I'm really, there's one example. I'll just put it that way.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: There's several of them out there. One example is, that
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: bothers me this cycle is in this case, in the
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: race between Senator Ricketts and Dan Osborne, where they attempt,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the Ricketts campaign attempts to associate Pete Ricketts with Jeffrey Epstein. Now,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: to my knowledge, there is not one atom, one scintilla,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: one particle, of evidence at all anywhere that ever associated
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Pete Ricketts in any way whatsoever with Jeffrey Epstein. But
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the hook is, well, he's a rich guy and he's
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: protecting the Jeffrey Epstein class. Well, if you're not paying
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: close attention and you just see Ricketts up there, bad
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: picture of Pete Ricketts, and then you see a Jeffrey
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Epstein image and you're not paying attention, that could be damaging.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: And it's completely bogus. And by the way, it's not
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: just here. I was down in Kansas over the weekend
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: for a wedding. And Roger Marshall's got a battle on
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: his hand, the Republican senator from Kansas. And they're doing
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the same thing with him. And I don't know anything
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: about anything related to Roger Marshall and Jeffrey Epstein. And
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody else does either. But protecting the
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein class. Because the left is.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Obsessed with the Jeffrey Epstein files. They just are. I mean, okay.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: And so now, but here's the other thing about that.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know anybody who is likely to vote Democrat
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: who's going to vote for Pete Ricketts under any circumstances
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: or Roger Marshall under any circumstances. But obviously what they're
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: targeting There are people who are not engaged until maybe
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: just now they're seeing all these ads. People who actually
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: do vote, but they don't pay a lot of attention.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: They're banking on those people who may be persuadable to
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: see an image of Pete Ricketts or Roger Marshall next
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: to a picture of Jeffrey Epstein.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: To me, that's disgusting. Is it illegal?
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: No, because you have to look at the copy and
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: what the ad actually says. But the association in the imaging...
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: is designed to suggest to you, the voter, you know,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Pete Ricketts and Jeffrey Epstein. That's what they want you
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: to think. There's all kinds of examples. And here's the question.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Are you persuaded, influenced by these negative ads? You're a voter.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: You're busy.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: You're busy. You probably got a job and a house
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: and kids and a spouse. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm going
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: to go vote in November. But what's this now? So
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: you're not paying close attention. Are you likely to be
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: persuaded by what you see or read or hear? Or
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: are you likely to do some investigating on your own
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: and see what might be valid and what's not? Studio
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: at KFAB.com. Comment line at KFAB.com. Or on the phone.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: And that's 558-1110. Speaking of that, we've got Marie.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Marie, good morning.
• 16:31
  Speaker 13: Good morning, Gary. How are you doing?
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I'm well, thank you, Marie. How are you doing?
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: Good.
• 16:34
  Speaker 13: I'm glad you are.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 16:36
  Speaker 13: I called in. There's going to be actually two things.
• 16:38
  Speaker 13: The first one is about the Democrats, National Socialist Party,
• 16:42
  Speaker 13: the DSA.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 16:43
  Speaker 13: They want a unicameral form of government in the federal level.
• 16:46
  Speaker 13: Eliminate the upper house.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 16:48
  Speaker 13: And go to just the Congress. And Nebraska is the
• 16:50
  Speaker 13: only one that has a unicameral, thanks to George Norris,
• 16:54
  Speaker 13: who's in the Hall of Fame. And so far for
• 16:58
  Speaker 13: our property tax is going down. That's a negative. It's
• 17:03
  Speaker 13: not going down. And that was just, people don't realize
• 17:07
  Speaker 13: they are serious about doing that. And we have a
• 17:11
  Speaker 13: one house in the federal level.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Well, they want to do away with the Senate, right?
• 17:19
  Speaker 13: Oh, yeah, absolutely, the upper house, yeah. And that's part
• 17:23
  Speaker 13: of it.
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: There it is.
• 17:25
  Speaker 13: I mean, people don't, they haven't read their platform.
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: I did.
• 17:29
  Speaker 13: And, you know, something else was mentioned on the news
• 17:31
  Speaker 13: just prior to you coming on, a national level about
• 17:35
  Speaker 13: that the Navy, the Chinese Navy is larger than ours
• 17:40
  Speaker 13: than it was during the Cold War. Well, everyone forgets
• 17:43
  Speaker 13: the Cold War was during the time that we had
• 17:45
  Speaker 13: an active draft. And we had a lot of people
• 17:48
  Speaker 13: in the military. Now we don't have that. It's a volunteer.
• 17:51
  Speaker 13: And we're not going to get the number of sailors
• 17:54
  Speaker 13: or airmen or anything else because of that. So we're
• 17:58
  Speaker 13: dealing with people who want to be in as opposed
• 18:01
  Speaker 13: to who aren't so that we can have a more
• 18:04
  Speaker 13: powerful Navy with half the ship.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 18:07
  Speaker 13: And that's how I see it now.
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: Thank you, Marie.
• 18:12
  Speaker 13: Okay, you have a good one.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you too, Marie. Here's the thing. I've always been
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: in favor. I don't think it was bad when we
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: had a military draft. And I'll take it a step further.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I would be in favor of some kind of mandatory
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: national service. Let's call it that. If you don't want
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: to call it military, it doesn't have to be military service.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: I would be in favor of some kind of national
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: service requirement. Once you hit 18.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: That's similar to South Korea.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: But if you want to get beat in an election,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: just suggest that when you're running for office.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? That ain't going to happen.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I believe, isn't it in Israel? It might be in Israel, too.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Doesn't Israel have mandatory military service? They might. I think
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: they do.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: I know South Korea does. You have to serve two years,
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: South Korea. And it doesn't always mean you're boots on
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: the ground, but you go through some training.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: Things like that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: But I mean, I don't know.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Of course, I'm 250 years old, so I have a
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: different perspective. But how many people that I knew growing up,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: men older than me, who had served? There was a draft.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: There was a ton of volunteerism, too. And I think
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: most of the people I can think of that It
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: did them good. They looked back on it as, yeah,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: that was horrible. But it taught me this and it
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: taught me that. I think some form of national. service mandatory,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: with obviously there'd be some exceptions for certain individuals who were,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know, not necessarily handicapped, but would have difficulty serving,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: that might be possible too. But anyway, it's not going
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: to happen, so don't worry about it. Here's the deal.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Gene Stother is off for a week, and I've joined
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: a parade of fill-ins. Gary Saddlemyer here. This is the
• 20:17

• 20:47
  Speaker 1: not done, you might want to finish it up today.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I've never seen a September like this. More rain coming
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: now for, I guess, today through Saturday. Peyton Highlock here
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: every day with Gene and our podcast. Cavalcade of fill-ins
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: on the KFAB comment line. You got a couple emails.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: There, Peyton?
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: I do have a couple emails here, Gary. This first
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: one comes from Bob, comment at kfab.com. Going back to
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: the Hall of Fame discussion that we started the show with,
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: if they can do it for Tom Osborne, then they
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: can do it for Warren Buffett and Johnny Carson by
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: putting them in the Nebraska Hall of Fame immediately. Well,
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: I think that's open.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Now right after the after the.
• 21:27
  Speaker 10: Legislature has changed a little bit yeah yes i'll let
• 21:30
  Speaker 10: jim rose if he's listening way in on the specifics
• 21:33
  Speaker 10: but my understanding is that uh uh the.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: 35 year you got to be dead requirement is gone
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: i don't know if there's any requirement now other than
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: whatever the commission votes for but they're going to be
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: very selective you would think warren buffett you know i
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: mean come on is anybody going to argue that warren
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: buffett is not going to be at some point in
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the Nebraska Hall of Fame. Johnny Carson, I don't know. Well,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I'll let the commission worry about that. We've got a
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: lot of calls, and it is the comment line, so
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: let's get to as many as we can. Karen, you're
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: on 1110 KFAB.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Good morning.
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: Good morning. I am 75 years old, so I'm older
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: than you are, Gary.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I don't hear that that much anymore.
• 22:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Anyway, um, I have been a Republican all my life,
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: and for the first time, I am not planning on
• 22:33
  Speaker 8: voting for a Republican for governor because we have a
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: son with a significant developmental disability and The policy with
• 22:56
  Speaker 8: inter-RAI to evaluate people, adults primarily, I think, with developmental
• 23:07
  Speaker 8: disabilities is just, I think it's wrong.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: The policy, I'm not following. You're not going to vote
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: for Pellin. I understand your issue, but I don't understand
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: the policy of what?
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: Okay, of evaluating the funding that these individuals are getting
• 23:35
  Speaker 8: at this point. We have friends or acquaintances here in Fremont.
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: The people that are keeping their adult children at home
• 23:58
  Speaker 8: because they really can't get the kind of care that
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: they need.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: And before they could, you're saying, and you're not voting
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: for Jim Pillen. Let me ask you quickly, Cameron, I've
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: got to run, but let me ask you quickly, who
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: are you going to vote for?
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: I am voting for Lynn Walsh.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, appreciate the call.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: We have on line six, Rosie, talking about some of
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: the Hall of Fame conversation that we were just in.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: James?
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Yes, I was called out, and I'm here to serve.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what is it that the legislature made a move
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: that allowed for Tom Osborne to be selected? Did they
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: completely do away with the death requirements?
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Yes, the mortality clause is gone now. You're right, it
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: was 35 years, and now it's gone. That doesn't mean
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: that only live people get in now. It just means
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: that you don't have to wait 35 years. But every
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: candidate will be evaluated based on the merits. And by
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: the way, nominations are open. We'll select the next recipient
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: in December.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're on the commission.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and if you've got somebody that you think deserves,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: then you need to go on the Nebraska History website,
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: and there's an easy link, and you can put in
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: whomever you believe truly deserves it. But I can tell
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: you that even though there is no longer a mortality clause,
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: that doesn't mean that somebody who's gone won't get back
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: in or won't get in. I think we know who
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: some of those people are. led by Johnny Carson.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Warren Buffett. Isn't there a clause in there about no
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: entertainers and no athletes?
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: It wasn't a clause, Gary, but I'm glad you brought
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: that up.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: It was a secondary consideration. The entertainers and athletes were
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: not given primary consideration largely because in the past it
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: has been considered that, well, do you have more than
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: just that as part of your resume? And the answer is, well...
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: I think Johnny Carson, even though he only had one
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: job for 32 years, probably had as much impact as
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: any Nebraskan in media ever. And, of course, Buffett. And,
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: of course, Buffett, you know, he's truly one of the
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: great Nebraskans of all time. And so I'm certain that
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: he'll get strong consideration. Somebody will nominate him. But, yeah,
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: the mortality clause is gone now, and that will open
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: up opportunities for others.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Very good.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: James, thank you. Always good to chat with Rosie. Back
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: to the Lions here, and Kevin, you're on NewsRadio 1110 KFAB.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Good morning.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Gary, first let me say it is very, very good
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: to hear your voice once again.
• 26:49
  Speaker 14: Thank you, sir.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: I haven't missed you in the morning.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: I have a possible connection between Ricketts and Epstein.
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Ricketts got $ 373, 000.
• 26:57
  Speaker 9: From the Israeli lobby, and.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: I have reason to believe that Epstein worked for them. So,
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, maybe that's why.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe that's a little bit of a stretch for me, Kevin,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: but okay. I mean, it's almost like six degrees of
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Kevin Bacon in a way, or is it seven degrees? Anyway,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: you wanted to mention mandatory service, too.
• 27:31
  Speaker 12: No, that was all I had was just that connection.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: All right, Kevin, thanks. Appreciate it, man. Bill, you're on
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: 1110 KVB. Good morning.
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: Good morning, sir. I love to go to the College
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: World Series, and I'd love to buy a baseball that
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: I can give to my grandchildren or children. But when
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: I go to the concession, all the baseballs are made
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: in China.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Is that right?
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: And America's sport, baseball.
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: We should be able to buy an American-made baseball at
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: the College World Series. Now, or at least given a choice,
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: you could buy a Chinese baseball or an American-made baseball.
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: But I'd rather it was made in Cincinnati or New
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: York or Tennessee or even California.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt, Bill. Thank you. I wonder, I haven't
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: looked it up, I wonder if MLB uses.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm a step ahead of you, Gary. They are
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: made in Costa Rica, Rawlings Factory in Costa Rica. Well,
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: that's closer anyway. Better than China, I suppose.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Hey, Travis, you're on KBB. Good morning.
• 28:46
  Speaker 11: Good morning. This is Travis, the Hitman, and it's great
• 28:49
  Speaker 11: to hear.
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: You, Gary.
• 28:50
  Speaker 11: I appreciate you being here.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: The Hitman.
• 28:53
  Speaker 11: Okay, thank you. That was a name Scott Voorhees gave
• 28:57
  Speaker 11: me one time when I called in in the evening,
• 29:01
  Speaker 11: and it was probably over a year.
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: Ago or more now.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: So what's on your mind?
• 29:06
  Speaker 11: Well, you talked about the mandatory service, and I served
• 29:10
  Speaker 11: in the Marine Corps, and I served with other militaries
• 29:13
  Speaker 11: in the Marine Corps, one being the Vermunen military from Bermuda.
• 29:18
  Speaker 11: And they have mandatory service. And let me just tell you,
• 29:21
  Speaker 11: it was not good when you get a whole bunch
• 29:23
  Speaker 11: of guys in the military that don't want to be there.
• 29:27
  Speaker 11: But your co-part there is correct about the Israeli military meeting. Yeah,
• 29:34
  Speaker 11: Rosie looked.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: It up, too. It's six years. Six years in Israel.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Mandatory military service.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Do you think about not necessarily military service, but national
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: service of some kind? So you've got two years. You're
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: going to do something that contributes to this country.
• 29:53
  Speaker 11: I mean, I think that might be an okay idea.
• 29:55
  Speaker 11: I also worked for the federal government as a technician,
• 29:59
  Speaker 11: and some federal service wouldn't be bad. Just would have
• 30:03
  Speaker 11: to find the right fit for people. And getting all
• 30:06
  Speaker 11: that to work together with the government is very hard
• 30:09
  Speaker 11: to do because the government's not very.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Efficient at almost anything.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: True.
• 30:14
  Speaker 11: So you're stretching a lot for the government.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: But, yes, I do.
• 30:19
  Speaker 11: I do appreciate you being on the radio.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that, Travis. Thanks. I love doing it. I
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: think that it would be.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Likely that we could, if this ever came to be,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: that we could probably find some useful things for people
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: to do for two years that would be a benefit
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: instead of a cost to the government.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: You could totally think that, and that might also increase
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: your sense of national pride.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm getting at.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: And though I wasn't alive for 9-11, it's very clear
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: that the amount of people that then volunteered to go
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: serve as a response to 9-11, I think that that
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: is something that could potentially happen again.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Similar, I think, to what we saw after the attack
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Very similar thing, yeah. So, okay.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Travis, for that call. Let's go to Jeff.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: You're on 1110 KVB on the comment line.
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: Hi.
• 31:17
  Speaker 9: Hey, Gary.
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: I can solve the fuel problem very simple.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Excellent.
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: Call in the National Production Act. All oil that's pumped
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: out of the ground in the United States has to
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: go to diesel production, not to be sold overseas until
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: the price reflects the cost of $ 3 for diesel, $ 2.
• 31:37
  Speaker 9: 25 for gas.
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: Hmm.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: That would be disruptive, I suppose, the experts would say
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: to the global market. But I'll tell you one thing
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: you hit on that I just got to mention in passing.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: This diesel. You talk about inflation. It's not just the
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: truckers and the farmers paying for the diesel. It's all
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: of the products that are brought on trucks and all
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: of the produce, all of the goods that are produced
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: by farmers. And those costs are going to be, you know.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, the cost of diesel is 630 now.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: What is it normally, Jeff, do you know?
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I do all of our pickups run on diesel.
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: So right now we can fill up for six bucks.
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: Generally it runs about 350.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Thanks, man.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Appreciate the call. At 1046, and since it is the
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: KFAB comment line, whatever's on your mind, feel free. Gene
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: will be back Monday. Peyton Highlock's here with me. How's
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: the email looking, or should we go to calls?
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: The calls are the direction we should head.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: All right, man. Go to Rob. You're on 1110 KFAB
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: in the comment line.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Good morning.
• 32:53
  Speaker 14: Morning.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Hey, Hall of Fame listener Rob.
• 32:56
  Speaker 9: Yes, sir.
• 32:57
  Speaker 14: You know, I went to the Air Force voluntarily, but
• 32:59
  Speaker 14: I will tell you, and military is better off being
• 33:03
  Speaker 14: all volunteer. You don't want people who don't want to
• 33:05
  Speaker 14: be there. But, you know, when there was a draft,
• 33:08
  Speaker 14: there was certainly a, You know, it provided for a
• 33:12
  Speaker 14: homogenized society. People from all walks of life could look back, yeah,
• 33:15
  Speaker 14: when I was in the Army, I did this.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, exactly.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: I've heard this over and over, that you all become
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: very quickly accustomed at boot camp or basic training to
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: the idea that there's nothing special about you. There's nothing
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: different about you. You get your butt up when I
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: tell you to, and we're going to do this, and
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: we're going to do that, and you're all together. And
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: that that lesson was not only an eye-opener, but served
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: them well Rob, thank you for the call. I appreciate it.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Onward to Max. You're on 1110 KFAB on the comment line.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, excellent. Thank you.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm right here. Max, what's up?
• 33:58
  Speaker 12: Okay, I just wanted to let Gary know that I've
• 34:02
  Speaker 12: been a long-time listener to KFAB.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Appreciate that.
• 34:06
  Speaker 12: And I just wanted to Let him know that he
• 34:09
  Speaker 12: was one of the best. I can remember when Bremser
• 34:13
  Speaker 12: and Jack Payne and all them guys were on the radio.
• 34:17
  Speaker 12: But you've got to put Gary up there right on top.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Very kind of you.
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: He's the best.
• 34:22
  Speaker 12: And I miss the guy to pieces.
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: Because— Well, I'm right here.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: I'm right here, Max.
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: Oh, you're there, Gary.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's me.
• 34:31
  Speaker 12: I was wondering where you were. I just wanted to
• 34:33
  Speaker 12: let you know that I met you about 30 years
• 34:36
  Speaker 12: ago at Olive Garden. And I just wanted to let
• 34:40
  Speaker 12: you know that I've listened to you for ever since
• 34:44
  Speaker 12: you've been on.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Very good.
• 34:45
  Speaker 12: And I just wish you was on there more often.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that, Max. Thanks. I'm happy to fill in.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: I love it when Scott goes away.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I love when Gary's on the show, KFAB, filling in.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: That Gary guy, he's a good guy.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: I'm right here. All right.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: I think we have Dave here. Dave, you're on the
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: KFAB comment line.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Good morning.
• 35:09
  Speaker 9: Yeah, good morning, Gary.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 35:11
  Speaker 9: You know, I was in the Army once, too, and
• 35:15
  Speaker 9: that's not what I called.
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: To talk about.
• 35:18
  Speaker 9: But a guy I went to basic training for, we're
• 35:20
  Speaker 9: still good friends, and we still tailgate every home game. So, anyway,
• 35:24
  Speaker 9: just long-lasting friends. I didn't know him from Adam before
• 35:27
  Speaker 9: we met then. But, anyway, on the ticket thing, this
• 35:32
  Speaker 9: is sad. I think we all knew this was– Oh, sure.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: I knew it was coming.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: I knew it was coming.
• 35:37
  Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
• 35:38
  Speaker 9: You know, my wife and I belong to the Beef
• 35:42
  Speaker 9: Club way back in the day up in the Northwest Stadium,
• 35:46
  Speaker 9: and our donation hasn't been really raised. I wish they'd
• 35:50
  Speaker 9: have just kept raising it through the years so we're
• 35:53
  Speaker 9: not going to get shell-shocked by this.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: There was the Beef Club and the Wheel Club and
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: the Touchdown Club and all these booster clubs.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: Now it's the Money Club. I think they just put
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: it all under one umbrella. Troy.
• 36:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: And by the way, he's unapologetic about all of this.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: I remember when he said regarding, uh, the hosing that
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: the long time volleyball, there were people that were there
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: when there were, when we weren't, but when volleyball wasn't
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: on anybody's map and they've been same with softball and
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: they've been there, you know, through it all. And, uh, but,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: but Dan and says, yeah, we should have been doing
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: this all along. This is, it's overdue, but, It's the
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: world we're in, David. Thanks for the call, man. Appreciate it. Mike,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: you're on the KOV comment line.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 36:41
  Speaker 12: Hey, just to piggyback off that last call, what happened
• 36:45
  Speaker 12: to this? I mean, hypothetically, could it go bust? You
• 36:49
  Speaker 12: get maybe 50% of the people saying, yeah, I'll pony up,
• 36:51
  Speaker 12: and everybody else says no?
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Well, that won't happen. And I don't want to.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying everybody's got their own decision to make.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: But here's the key.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Tony Petitti, when he became the Big Ten commissioner, came
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: to town and he spoke to the big suits at
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: the university. And he says, if you want to be
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: in the American Association of Universities, which there's always pushback
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: against that for Nebraska, you need three things.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: You need to win in football. You need to have
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: a lot of TV sets.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: And I can't remember the third thing, but the point
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: is that two of those things we can control. The
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: number of eyeballs and TV sets you can't, but you
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: can control winning. No, he was talking about, I'm sorry,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: he was talking about the Big Ten Conference. You want
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: to remain in the Big Ten Conference, you need to
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: have a lot of TV sets, you need to win
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: in football, and you need to be in the AAU.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Well, Dr.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: Gold has tried hard to get Nebraska in the AAU,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: and there's pushback against that.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: The football.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: winning part may be coming along. We don't know, but
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: we can't do anything about the number of TV sets.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: So all of this money.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: And I just say that there's a long way around
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: to say winning on the field is the thing, not
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: the only thing, but it's the, almost the only thing.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: And if this program continues to struggle, if we go
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: five and one or five and oh, and end up
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: six and six again, This is not going to be
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: a very good look for all of the receding policies
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: that they're putting in place.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Anyway. Boy, this goes fast, Peyton.
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: Real quick.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: Man, this goes fast.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: Real quick.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Thanks for your assist there, big guy.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: It's always good to be on NewsRadio 11 and KFAB.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: Gene will be back Monday.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: That is correct.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: And Chip Maxwell will be in here tomorrow on the
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: KFAB comment line. One email, quickly, if I can put
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: my hand on it. Yeah, two years mandatory military service
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: for women and four years mandatory military service for men.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: This in Israel is from Rob.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: I went to the Air Force in an all-volunteer setting,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: and a volunteer military is what you want, but the
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: draft definitely has some advantages. Lots of topics that we
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: couldn't get to. The hour goes fast. I do appreciate
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: you being with us.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: Take a break.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Fox and KFAB Radio News and Clay and Buck. Coming
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: right up.
