• 0:19
  Speaker 1: more day of the sauna out there, and so the
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: oak Hills Pool playlist. Now, if if you've heard me,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: use this as stick before. I spent six wonderful years
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: growing up in Ralston and we belong to the oak
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Hills Pool. I remember one day when I was guest
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: hosting in the afternoon, somebody at the pool called in
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to say, Hey, I'm officially inviting you back, come back
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: to the pool, oak Hills Pool. But I spent many
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: summer days afternoons at the oak Hills Pool. And so
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the bumpers today, in honor of our scorching late July
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: weather is these are tunes I recircle nineteen seventy as
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the tunes I remember over the speakers at the pool.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: And so hopefully that'll put a little gidda up in
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: your step today and help you cope with the heat.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Smile in the face of what Mother Nature's dealing is
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: for at least one more day. Here the Oak Hills
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Pool playlist soon to come, Peyton Highlock it is. Let's see,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: it's three weeks to the day since the last time
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: we were in this studio making mischief. How has July
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: treated you? Chip?
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I love July. I'm a big summer guy, as we
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: all are. But there's something about July. It's the snap
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: of a finger. If if we had July every February,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I think life would be amazing.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Wow, my July has been great.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: That is. That's more than I was bargaining for. I
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: was looking for just to throw away coment. We're getting
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: philosophy here from this youngster who is wise beyond his years.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: You look awfully calm, cool and collected for a guy
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: who is mere weeks away from marriage. Do I have
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: that right?
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Chip?
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: About ten days twelve days away?
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, yes, it's coming up very soon. I'm
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: very excited. Thankfully, a lot of it's done, I would say,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: just about everything is situated right now?
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Well good? Yes, you know. Is this an old school deal, Peyton,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: where you just have to clean up, shave and show
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: up on time in your wedding tucks or are you
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: intimately involved in the planning of the event.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I would like to believe that I'm involved more than
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: what was probably expected of me.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: The beautiful thing about my bride to be is she's
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: a very decisive woman.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: That helps.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: She knows what she wants.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: She doesn't well, she knows what she wants and she
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: makes a decision, and that makes it way easier for me.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I married one of those myself, and yes, that is
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: one of the advantages.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Still doesn't know where she wants to eat dinner, but
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: for the wedding decisive enough, good, good, good.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Well, God bless you on that. I'll see you sometime
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: on the other side. I'm sure we'll see how you're
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: holding up. One more item of business with you on
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: my agenda with you, Peyton, is the last time we
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: were together, you were rocking your twenty twenty six World
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Cup jersey. The World Cup has run its course. Your
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: take on the World Cup? You played college soccer, You
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: are very much immersed in the sport. What did you think?
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: First and foremost?
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I think what I was most happy to see was
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: the reception from Americans from United States Americans, people who
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: don't really like soccer, or they've been longtime non soccer
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: fans that have now had their interest peaked.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: And I'm so overjoyed to see that.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: And this has been a a message on this radio
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: station for the last two months while the World Cup
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: is here. All of the people coming over from around
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the world to the United States have nothing but good
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: things to say, and that's been my favorite part.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think even the little kerfuffle with Trump
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: getting the American player back on the pitch, you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: after the red card, I think that just turned out
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to be a little side show at Tangent. It was not.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I think the overall, as you characterize it, it was
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: very positive. It was a reciprocally positive experience for Americans
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: and for those who came to visit. In fact, I'd
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: like somebody out there to make a video of as
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: we hear increasing negativity about America, you know, as the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: campaign reaches its crescendo here in the late summer and fall,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: maybe America through the eyes of twenty twenty six World
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Cup visitors would give people a fresh perspective. You are right.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I never played the game, so I don't have the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: same passion for it that you do. But I love
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the spectacle, I love the way America rallied to it,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and I love the fact that our guests had a
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: great experience here. And so yeah, I think on the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: whole it was positive as well. All right, back here
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: at home, this is kind of random, Peyton. Have you
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: seen this? This thing on social media where people do
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: a quick round of rock paper scissors and the loser
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: has to go run a lap or run across the
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: yard or wherever you are, and the winner gets to
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: chow down on a table full of food. Have you
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: seen this?
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I'm aware.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a catching name for it
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: or not. But in my never ending quest to be
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: relatable as a baby boomer father of seven, somehow I
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: allowed my children to dragoon me into this over the week.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Somehow on Saturday high noon, you know, the temperatures climbing
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: through the nineties, and the sun is right overhead beating
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: down on us, and for some reason we picked that
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: moment too. My backyard is I don't know, it's about
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: fifty or sixty feet the long way. So the kids
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: set up a table at one end and at least
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: it was food. I like it was Chip fil a sandwiches,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: waffle fries and things. But it's a ninety five and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: you're outside for five minutes and you're already soaked in sweat.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: It's heavy sauna heat, you know. So we decided that
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: our idea of fun would be to do this. We
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: did it in pairs. I get people usually do it
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: in small groups, so we'd pair off different you know,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: boom boom, boom, and then the winner has to the
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: winter gets to start chowering on the food. The loser
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: has to go run to the other side of the oar,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: touch the fence and come back. We did it in
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: rounds of three and so somehow, and we had two
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: family dogs running around and tripping people and in the
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: midst of it as well. It was fun, I admit
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: it was fun, but so and I won a few rounds.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I had to run a few times, but you know,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: in between, I'm just chomping on a spicy chicken sandwich
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: and stuffing in a few waffle fries as well. And
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: then I don't know how this happened exactly. So we
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: finally go inside to cool off, and then one of
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the kids makes blueberry pancakes. So I stuffed myself in
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the heat with Chick fil at I come in and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: eat a plate of flapjacks. I think I ate a
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: little watermelon to make it all healthy. And I took
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: a long, hard nap Saturday after you. I was and
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I'm even my I'm kind of woozy the whole rest
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: of the weekend. I'm still a little queasy now thinking
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: about not the greatest combination of elements there. But it
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: was fun. And as I say, I just you know,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I do it for you Kfabe Nations so I can
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: be fully relatable and up to speed on the latest
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: trends whenever I'm at this microphone. All right, speaking of
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the latest trends, there are a lot of things I
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: hope to talk about. The Arizona primary last week, what
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: that might mean for our primary year. Remember we've got
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: to turn this blue dot red. Are you checking with
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Chip every morning? KFAB podcast page? The Arizona primary, the well,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: this sad thing that happened in Berlin with the guy
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: with the Muslim with terrorist connections plowing his van into
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: a Pride event in Berlin. I saw something about the
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk Trial that I want to make sure it
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: gets corrected. It was in Slate magazine, a leftist publication,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: of course, the president's recent revelations. I'm sure Gene Stothard
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: and Chris Baker and other voices on kfab probably talked
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: about that. The icons, of course, and their mischief with
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: our voting records, paying influencers to put out negative propaganda
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and and the deep state covering it up. I think
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: that bothers me. I matter at them, and then I
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: am at the chicoms. But here's where I want to
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: start today, and who knows, it may take up the
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: whole conversation. The Odyssey, Peyton, have you seen the Odyssey yet?
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: I love the direction of this show so far, Chip,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I have seen the Odyssey.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Ah okay, just a footnote.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I went over to Council Bluffs, one of forty one
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: IMAX theaters that shows the Odyssey directly as Christopher Nolan intendo.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Oh you went for it. Wow? All right, let's uh,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: well you can. You can fire the first shot if
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: you want. I have not seen it, and so I'm
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: throwing it out there today to kfab Nation four oh two, five, five,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: eight eleven ten comment at kfab dot com or the
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: talkback mic on the iHeartRadio app. Have you seen the Odyssey?
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: What did you think? A lot of conservatives and traditionalists
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: have praised it. A few have panned it. Some are
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: complaining about woke casting. Everybody should be Greek and should
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: be white. I don't know that doesn't pose as much
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: of a problem for me. Here here's my concern, and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I'll be interested to get your take on this. Peyton
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Star Wars turned Luke Skywalker into a brooding, wet blanket
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: instead of the swashbuckling adventurer that people came to know
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and love. Now, if Christopher Nolan did that with Odysseus,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: then I say he blew it. He should have told
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Matt Damon to channel his Jason Bourne, you know, because Odysseus.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Odysseus was the original Jason Bourne, James Bond, Michael Weston.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: You ever watched Burn? Notice you're too young. You probably
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: never saw Burn. Notice. Michael Weston was this CIA operative
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: who found himself on the outs with the government. But
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the show is featuring his talents, is I mean? He
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: has to use four sometimes, but it's more he's he
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: can be a con man, he can pull off scams.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: He can trick bad people into bringing themselves down, you know,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: very much like Odysseus. Even add bugs Bunny to the list,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: as far as you know, a sort of American swagger
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: protagonist who succeeds by brain as much as Braun. Okay,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: a lovable rogue. Now these are always usual. Odysseus certainly
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: was a complicated character. Sometimes add character lapses, but someone
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: who's fundamentally good and a champion of good over evil.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: All right. So the knock I've heard from some on
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the right, Peyton, is that this Odysseus the matt damon.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Odysseus racked with guilt over the giant wooden horse, the
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: trick played on the Trojans, and the tone of his
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: character is and regretful that he violated Zeus's law of
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: welcoming the stranger. And so the critics on the right
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: run with that and say it's a backdoor into woke immigration,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: no borders politics today. I don't know that's a stretch.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that America is having a conversation
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: about one of the great works of Western civilization. I
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: think that's great.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Peyton, what do you think of the movie First of all,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: I think the cinematography, the filming was absolutely remarkable. One
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: thing that I love so much about Christopher Nolan is
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: his lack of CGI. Okay, this is not a spoiler
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: at all, but the Cyclops Cyclops was a sixty foot
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: puppet in real life that was turned to be the
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Cyclops we know in the movie that was not generated
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: on a computer screen, and that you'll see that all
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: throughout the movie. The idea that Odysseus is a triumphant,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: dominating force was not particularly portrayed throughout this film. You
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: use the line brains over brawn. There was times where
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: maybe you wouldn't call it a mistake, but a misstep
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: that made it tougher for him down the line. I
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: think that Odysseus was intelligent, He was a great leader,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: and he always did what was best for the collective,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: never put himself first, and he showed great leadership, great courage.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: But he did wrestle with guilt. He did wrestle with guilt.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: And there's this underlying theme throughout the movie where maybe
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: it's his subconscious that comes to visit him that makes
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: him even more regretful about his decision. But you see
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: it he did, maybe not lie, but used a bit
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: of trickery to get in with the whole with the
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Trojan horse, and that that sits with him throughout the film.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: But I still think that it captured who Odysseus was
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: and his character.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: So I'm hearing a pretty positive review. It sounds like
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: you enjoyed the movie.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: I enjoyed the movie.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: I've heard a lot of pushback as well about the
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: quote unquote woke casting. Yeah, sure, I mean you could
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: you could argue that. I don't think that it takes
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: away from the film at all.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: If the storyline is good and it's it's captivating, then
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know that Helen of Troy's race matters that much.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, if it's if the story is good, it's good.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I've I've heard some critical commentary that the language is
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: too modern, you know that, But it sounds like it
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: sounds like you are aware. Most people I've heard, even
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: people who consider themselves conservative, have enjoyed it and recommend
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: people seeing it. And you know, more exposure to our
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: ancient cultural roots in Western civilization.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: You know what, I would say, Even more than the
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: woke casting, something that I've been disappointed with about Hollywood
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: in general for the last ten or fifteen years is
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: the persistent use of superstar, top of the line actors
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: and actresses. Okay, Tom Holland is in this film. He's
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: a great actor. He's also Spider Man.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Spider Man is set to release on July thirty first,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: So he has two phenomenal movies coming out in the
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: same month that he's marketing at the same time. And
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I think to myself, Tom Holland, he's phenomenal, but I
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: can't get Spider Man out of my head.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: I know, Spider Man.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: That was more of a distraction than any racial or
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: ethnic casting.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Matt Damon, he played Odysseus phenomenally. He's got Ann Hathaway,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: who is incredible. Ann Hathaway. How dare I say a
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: bad thing about Ann Hathaway?
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? But it was a super
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: star studded cat.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: So's she's Penelope, right?
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: His wife? Uh, Telemic is the son that was Holland?
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, correct?
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, keep going.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Then Zendeia, who is a the mid the subconscious kind
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: of the.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Film, you know, and it's really cool, but.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: It's it's hard not to I think there might be
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: a name for it when you attribute the actor actress
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: to other films that they've done in the past, even
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: though they're in a current film.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Well, if somebody's been type cast in a
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: certain role and uh or or you know, you're saying,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: it's hard to block out the fact that this super
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: blockbuster Spider Man franchise is cranking up again and this
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: is the guy at the center of it. What about
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: now Nolan inserted a character that actually is not in
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: the Odyssey. Uh, this scene on Elliott Page, Ellen Page,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Elliott Page that the transgender person who who apparently has
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: a brief but important role in kind of setting the tone.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Is that an issue for you?
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: No, okay, no, but when you know who it is,
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: I mean it is a.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Probably I don't know the exact height five foot five
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: foot one, five foot two character playing a well I
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: won't say that so you can see the film yourself.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: But it is short, but it's a significant role in
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: the way of the film. But I'm not too bothered
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: by it.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Four two, five, five, eight, eleven ten. Comment at kfab
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: dot com or the talkback mic on the iHeartRadio app. Now,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: come on kfab nation. I know some of you must
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: have seen it already. Some of you must have a
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: take on the movie. Maybe you liked it, maybe you
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: hated it, maybe it kind of struck you somewhere in
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: between on the spectrum. Let us know. Let us know.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: It is certainly on an epic scale by one of
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: the most famous directors of our time. So I'd love
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: to get your take on it. Oh no, here we go,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Sweet City Woman, the oa'kills pool playlist. See this is
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: back when pop music was fun boys, chasing girls, summertime mischief,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: and this guy has managed to find a woman who
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: feeds in love and tenderness and macaroons. Oh she's a caper. Well,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Peyton's already taken. Maybe for the rest of you, Jim Maxwell,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: and for Geene Stouther it's a Kfab comment line on
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: news radio eleven to ten Kfab producer Peyton highluck is
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: at the controls and those are Oakhill's pool playlist bumpers
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: you're hearing today music. I remember hearing over the speakers
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: at the o'kills pool and Ralston when I was growing
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: up again circa nineteen seventy, when pop music was fun,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: not this heavy. Brooding stuff that my kids listened to. Actually,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: they secretly like my music. They don't like to admit it.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: But four oh two, five, five, eight eleven ten comment
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: at kfab dot com of the talkback mic on the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. Folks, it's too quiet. It's too quiet. We're
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: halfway through the show. It's too quiet. I want to
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: know what you think about the Odyssey? Come on now,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: everybody's talking about it. What do you think about the Odyssey? Generally,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: even on the right, well received. There are a few
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: critics on the right who don't like the characterization of Odysseus,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: don't like the casting. What do you think Peyton enjoyed it?
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Young Peyton here, cinematography, cinematography was great, great characters, Odysseus
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: well played by Matt Damon. What did you think? Four
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: oh two five, five eleven ten comment at kfab dot
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: com or the talkback mic on the iHeartRadio app. I
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: got something, pet I do got here?
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Randy decided to uh push his mind here and this
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: is what the kfab comment line is for, says come on, ship.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: There's a difference between a movie made to push an
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: agenda and a movie made to present a true artistic
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: perspective of a story or a historical event. The difference
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: is obvious. This Odyssey movie is a steaming pile of
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: dog droppings. What a dumbed down society we currently have,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: especially with young people.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I think I'll tell you, what did you say? That
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: was Randy?
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Randy?
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I may know that Randy, especially given his take. All right,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: there's a very strong take by Randy, a negative take.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: He sees it as his agenda rather than art, pushing
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: the agenda rather than presenting great art. Four oh two, five, five, eight,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: eleven to ten. Comment at kfab dot com or the
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: talkback Mike on the iHeartRadio app. Peyton, you reminded me
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: during the break, I did hear that Pete Ricketts add
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: about Dan Osburn driving in here Democrat Dan, Democrat Dan.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I've got in my head the country bluegrass tune. I
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: don't get the whole dan Osburn thing. Well, I get, okay,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: I'm an independent, you know, and appeal to people that way.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: And maybe you don't want people in the big third
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: thinking you're a Democrat, But for goodness sake, town hall
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: dot com had a story about Dan Osborne his operation
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: helping to recruit Graham Platner in Maine to run for
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the Democrats. I mean, certainly in his money, as I
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: think Scott noted, you know, his money is support is
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: all Democrats. The Democrats ran a candidate to soak up
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: all the primary votes and then should drop out to
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: clear the way, clear the field for Osborne versus Rickets.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: But all right, let's defer that for a minute because
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: we do have a few people who want to get
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: in on the odyssey. Brian, welcome to the show.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: Thanks Chip. I saw Friday matinee at the Big Peter
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: in Lincoln, and I see it as the story of
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: a traumatized soldier and all the monsters he faces coming
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: home from the war.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: And did you like it, Brian?
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, I thought it was great. Of course, being in
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: the big theater, it was kind of loud and rumbling,
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: but I enjoyed the big leather reclining seats and all that. Yeah,
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: I enjoyed it very much. I thought it was a
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: fantastic movie, and I thought my mattinee money was well
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: worth the stending.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: All right, well, thank you very much, Brian. Well there's
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: a solid take from Brian on the positive side. On
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the plus side, it really was Peyton. It seems like
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: it was a movie made for the big theater, made
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: for the big screen in the theater experience.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Brian is exactly right.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: My seat was rumbling, you know, and this was not
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: a one of those roller coasters in the dark.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Now, the seat was rumbling. It was loud.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, rumbling is the same. Turn to Brian. You know,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I think I recognized Brian's voice, and I just I'd
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: like to note that, uh, politics isn't everything in life.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: We know we can rise above it and enjoy things.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: But now let's find out what Harry thinks. Harry's next. Harry,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: Yes, good morning, Good morning. So what I They landed
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: on this island and the guys they couldn't speak their language,
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: but they were speaking modern Greek, which I understood, and
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: it was like an oxymoron. There were Greeks themselves, so
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: they were you know, That's what I fought. Took, as
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: you know, kind of kind of an awkward scene. I
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: guess if you didn't speak Greek and understand Greek, you wouldn't.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Know any better take, and no subtitles for it.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: It might have been I guess I didn't observe that.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Much, all right. I just so you got tripped up
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: a little bit on that, Harry, you knew too much,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: you know Greek? Did that sour the experience for you.
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: A little bit?
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: You know?
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: It just made me feel like they should have spoke
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: something else, Okay, made it. I don't know if that
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: makes any sense.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: I guess all right, well, Harry, thanks so so Harry
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: had a little bit of a language gripe there. Four
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: oh two five five, eight eleven ten. Comment at kfab
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: dot com. Talkback Mike on the iHeart Radio app. I'm
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: kind of on the fence here, folks. I'll probably go
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: see it. I have to, well see, I have to
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: confess I'm kind of a curmudgeon on movies in general.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: My wife can tell you that she's you know, she
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: used to want to try to drag me to movies,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: and then she quit doing it because she said, is
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: there a movie made that you won't complain about? You
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: know to some degree by the time it's over. I
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: don't know. I am you know, I'm uh, And while
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: you're at it, get off my lawn, you know. I'm
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: I can be a very cranky boomer when it comes
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: to movies. But I think I'm willing to give this
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: one a try. Four oh two, five, five, eight eleven ten,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: comment at kfab dot com or the talkback mic on
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app before I go back to Dan Osborn.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Anything else on the email Peyton? No, all right, this
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: is what puzzles me about. No, I'm not a Democrat. Well,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: which party will you caucus with? You know, Bernie Sanders
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: he's an independent. Actually he is not a Democrat, but
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: he caucuses with the Democrats. Which party will you caucus with? Now?
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I neither one of them. I don't belong to either one.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: But behind the scenes there's all this coordination with the
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Democratic Party, which I'm not suggesting that it's sinister. I
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: just why isn't he transparent? Well, I guess I answered
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: that myself earlier. Uh. He wants to be competitive in
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: the third district, the big third, where being labeled a
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Democrat could hurt I suppose, so he's going to great
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: lengths to avoid that label in ads and on the
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: ballot so that he would have a better chance of
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: winning votes in the third district. I guess. I guess
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: that's the reason. Somebody set me straight. If I'm wrong
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: or if I'm missing something, but he's gone to great
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: pains to distance himself from the Democratic Party even as
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: he coordinates with the Democratic Party. That blew my mind
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: when I saw the story about Osbourne and his team
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: pushing hard to get Graham Platner to run in Maine,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: and you know, to get the right kind of people
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: running for office, and you know we're going to go
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: and bring our agenda to Washington, d C. So anyway,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: I thought the ad, I thought that, I know Scott
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: said that the listener just really detested the ad. I
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: thought it was pretty well done, and I thought it
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: was clever. Maybe I wouldn't have Maybe I wouldn't have
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: if it was lampooning Pete Ricketts, the Republican candidate in
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: the race. I don't know. It depends on if they
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: were fair shots or cheap shots. And I don't know.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I think it's fair to point out all the collaboration
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: and partnership with Democrats that Osburn has done ballot wise
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: and financially, and let's just get it all on the
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: table and let people make their decisions. I don't know.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: I keep hearing the signs are out the signs are out.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: It's not just a blue dot, it's the blue wave.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Have you seen him? You know, the blue dot styled
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: as a wave that I don't know. Democrats seem pretty
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: confident going into this session. I can only guess it's
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: because of the third district, where Osborne wants to preserve
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: this facade of independence. I'm an independent, I am not
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: a Democrat.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Well, as far as it goes a little footnote for
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Dan Osborne, I believe last week he was endorsed by
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Nebraska Farm Pack and I believe that is the as
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Jim Rose might have explained it. It's not the premier
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: of farmers union in the state of Nebraska, but it
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: is a close second. And I thought, well, as if
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: he's really trying to make a go for that third district,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: that is a substantial step.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: That could be huge. I'll have to go look that
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: one up myself. I know there's a Nebraska's Nebraska Farmers Union,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: which lines up on the left. The Nebraska Farm Bureau
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: usually lines up on the right. Not super ideological, but
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: tends toward the right center right anyway. And then now
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: the Nebraska Farm Pack is a player as well. All right,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: the well speaking of election prospects. So last week in Arizona,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Trump endorsed candidates did well, Arizona swing state and so forth.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: And I just I'm not buying what people are selling,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: even some Republicans locally. I have heard Republicans see I think.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: I put out a video and it's the audio of
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: it is my first podcast in this run of check
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: with Chip on Kfab back in March, and I think
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: it's aged pretty well. I said, the timing's right, the
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: mojo's right. The Democratic Party has moved so far to
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: the left that there's a opportunity to turn the blue
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: dot red. That's my whole premise. And but I know
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: I've had I've had Republicans say, oh, no, brinker Harding's
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: a dead man walking now, he's got no shot. Nah,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Denise Powell's gonna win whoever Wan Kavanaugh or Powell, but Powell,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: she's gonna get the national Democratic support and Democratic money.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: They're gonna swamp this district with money and ads. And
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: her ads were very good in the spring. I disagreed
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: with the content, but they were well done. And that's
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: the reason Brett Lindstrom dropped out of that race. And
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: he thought he had a better chance running as an
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: independent for governor than he did running as a Republican
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: for Congress in the second district. So I'm not buying it.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not having it. I do believe Denise Powell is
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: the same kind of Democrat who won in New York
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: and in Seattle, and that's why there's so much national
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: support and money for her. But this is not New
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: York or Seattle. All right, hold that thought and let's
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: go to Sheila online one. I think she wants to
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: get in on this ad. Sheila, welcome to the show.
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: Hi, thank you.
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: I just wanted to say. I know someone else called
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: her earlier and said they didn't like the ad. I
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: think the ad is hysterical.
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: I loved it.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I thought it was funny. Yeah, I thought it was
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: well done. Thought it was entertaining.
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: Do you do too?
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: And you know I'm a third district person here.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Where are you calling from, Sheila.
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: I'm calling from Alliance, Nebraska.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: A fantastic So you're out in the big third. How
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: does how does the race look to you? Does Osburne
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: have a shot to upset Pete Ricketts?
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: I certainly hope not.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: See I think I think We'll go ahead.
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: The man is dishonest. You know when he lied to
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: me to my face, then I will never trust anybody
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: who lies again.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, wait, wait, are you talking about Dan Osborne?
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: I am talking about Dan Osborne.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: What did you meet him at a candidate of d
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: or something? You mean? Yes, okay, And I'm just going
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: to soften it and.
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: Say that's rather small venue. I'm never it's a previous election.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Okay. Oh, I see when he ran againsteb Fisher. And
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not questioning your sincerity, Sheila, or your integrity. I'm
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: just going to call it an alleged lie, just to
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: kind of soften it a little bit. What is it
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: that he said to you that you thought was false?
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: That he was not in favor of gun control?
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Okay? All right?
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: And we ended up and it ended up being a
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: very uncomfortable situation. I think I was the only Republican
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: in the room.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Oh I see, okay, Well, see my premise is I
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: think dan Osborne you're the kind of person he has
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: in mind. He does not want you thinking of him
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: as a Democrat out there in the big third. I
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: think that's why he's going to such great pains to
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: keep it behind the scenes and publicly front facing be
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: an independent. But I don't think that's going to work
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: with you, Sheila.
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: Well, I have a question for you. I do not
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: understand how union people can support him after he's tost
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: them their jobs and omaha at Kelloggs.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: You mean.
• 33:09
  Speaker 9: Yes, sir?
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: All right, well, Sheela, thank you very much. We got
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: to take another break up. I'll put that right out
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: there for KFAB nation. If you're a union member and
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: you're supporting Dan Osborne, tell us why because some think
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: that he was counterproductive in his role at Kellogg's. In
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: the meantime, I just I love this quirky tune so much.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Mungo Jerry. Look, it may well hit one hundred today.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: All right, find some water, find a lake, find a pool,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: find a splash, pat get wet, cool off, have fun,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: enjoy summertime in Nebraska. Like Mungo Jerry, I'm chip backxwell
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: in for Jean Stothard. It's the KFAB comment line. Peyton
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Hilo's at the controls on news radio eleven to ten
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: KFAB speaking of long cool women, Geene Stothard. We'll be
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: back at the mic tomorrow. Peyton Hilock as always producer
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: extraordinary at the controls on the KFAB comment line on
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: news radio eleven to ten KFAB, I believe we're already
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: in the final segment of this sprint all right, the odyssey,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Uh the Dan Osborne ad cheap shot or fair shot?
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: And uh, I don't know if I'm ever going to
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: get back to the Arizona primary and what that might
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: mean for our primary. But let's find out what Travis
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: is thinking. He's online one, Travis, welcome to the show.
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: Hey, Chip, I like your program.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Your name and voice sound familiar. Travis. I
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: think I recognize you. I I'm out of jail, so congratulations. Okay,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: what's on your mind?
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: But between you and Gene, now, this has been I mean,
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: I think this program is gonna take over a KFAB.
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: But that's not why.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I'm okay, everybody loves the backup quarterback.
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, yeah, don't tell don't tell Chris.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: That, Okay, I saw him.
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: My comment is, you know that the Osborne campaign, they're
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: really kind of, you know, banging on the Ricketts family
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: or Pete Ricketts were using his own money for his campaign.
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: I don't see that as a name. I don't see
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: that as a negative thing. I mean, I'd rather have
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: someone use their own money than have outside influencers that
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: have an agenda, you know, support your campaign fan fund. Yeah,
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: I mean, you know, in an a roundabout way, he's
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: he's uh, he's putting down capitalism because you know, the
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: ricks family has been successful and uh, you know what
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: the opposite of capitalism is is you know what we're
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: seeing in New York and do we want to go
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: down that road? Do the Democrats want to go down
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: that road?
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I Uh, That's where I think Osborne and the
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Democrats maybe overplay it. Uh. Pete Ricketts, his daddy pays
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: for everything. He's a rich guy. He's a people have
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: shown they don't mind. I don't mind. I'm Joe middle class.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: I don't envy or resent Donald Trump at all. And
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: I know Donald Trump doesn't stay at the you know,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: he doesn't stay at the holiday.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: I am.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe it's hair okay, Travis, But that doesn't bother
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: me because I feel like he respects me and cares
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: about me more than a lot of these other elitist politicians.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm a fool, Maybe I'm naive. Maybe he's playing me.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but I keep seeing him do things
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: that I and other Republicans have wanted done for a
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: decade or more and he delivers, you know, and so
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: uh that the rich thing, the envy thing, I don't
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: think that plays well. So I think you're onto something there, Travis, Ay,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: thank you for your take. I want to get to
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Rob next. I think he's on the other side of this. Rob.
• 36:50

• 37:04
  Speaker 9: not care for the Pete Ricketts at Oh. It's you know.
• 37:09
  Speaker 9: I don't know if it's the music or the genre.
• 37:13
  Speaker 9: First off, it kind of reminds.

  Speaker 1: Me you're not a bluegrass bigot? Are you this? I'm
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: sorry I talked over here back.
• 37:20
  Speaker 9: In twenty fourteen, you know, with the folks don't black
• 37:24
  Speaker 9: bat Pete. That's just not my cup of team. But
• 37:28
  Speaker 9: I will tell you maybe we can go back to
• 37:30
  Speaker 9: the the lormong Low for City Council polka way back
• 37:33
  Speaker 9: twenty something.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: I heard a reference to that driving in lormong Low.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: But I'm sure that's for the archives somewhere.
• 37:41
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but I have I have no use for that.
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: I did think that the guy calling in talking about
• 37:46
  Speaker 8: Greek I thought that was Chuck Grassley calling in.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: That's I think Chuck Grassley was there for the Trojan War. Yeah, yeah,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: all right, thank you.
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: But absolutely this envy of this, this this this envy
• 38:04
  Speaker 8: of you know, Pete Rackett. Pete Rickets was born with
• 38:07
  Speaker 8: a silver spoon. No, no, he was not. His father
• 38:11
  Speaker 8: made some very good business decisions and has what he
• 38:15
  Speaker 8: has now because of it.
• 38:16
  Speaker 9: Good.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you on that one, Rob, Thank you. Uh,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: we can squeeze in a few more four oh two, five,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: five eleven to ten comment at kvabe dot com and
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: the talk back Mike on the iHeartRadio app. You know,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Travis reminded me of something because I've heard Pete Rickets
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: has said this publicly. He said, you know, when I
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: first ran against Ben Nelson. Uh, in fact, Peyton has
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: a clip. We might we might squeeze in here before
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: we're done. In that two thousand and six it was
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Pete Ricketts first for a into electoral politics and he
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: got creamed by Nelson and he self funded that. The
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: next time he went out you know, when he uh
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: uh started running for governor, he explained to people, I
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: am not going to sell fund I've put some of
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: my funds into this, but I'm not going to self
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: fund this campaign because I learned it's kind of a
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: sales job and to go out there. You know, people decry, oh,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: money in politics, money and politics, but it's a good screen.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: It's a good filter when you have to go out
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: there and sell your ideas, sell your agenda to people,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: make a sale, convince them that you've got the best plan,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: and get them to be even if it's fifty dollars,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: you know, one hundred dollars, fifty dollars, if they invest
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: in you, first of all, it forces you to work it,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: to get out there and prove to people that you're
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: the right candidate. And secondly, that person is a lot
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: more likely to vote for you, even if it's twenty
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: five bucks. If that person has made any kind of
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: investment at all in you, that person is a lot
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: less likely to be complacent. And I just sit this
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: one out. No, No, you went out there, you proved
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: yoursel health, the person invested in you. It's actually it
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: can be a healthy dynamic in politics, and so he said,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: ever since then he has made well I know Trump
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: did that too. He people, Well he's he's a billionaire billionaire.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: He could just self funded. No, he's gone out and
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: done fundraising.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: And there is that dynamic to it. Do we have
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: time or not for that?
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, Let's play a little nugget of it here.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: All right. This is from two thousand and six. I'm
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: from the western town in Nebraska, Ben Nelson.
• 40:37
