A correlation made by a local TV station in a story about law enforcement set me off a little bit. I calmed down by the time I told Lucy about an interesting business I saw in Omaha this week.

Today's tasteless topics included something weird at Creighton, the President's physical, disappearing mail and princesses, socialism in disguise, and more.

Plus, HGTV's Shane Duffy of "Build It Forward" is on our show today, just a few days before his appearance this weekend at the Omaha Home and Garden Expo.

Whether it was anti-Semitism or just really poor journalism, Sasha decided to say something about what noticed in the Westside High School student paper. This is not the first time she has called out local education, and I hope it's not the last.

Lisa Downs joins me to celebrate 40 years of this great 80s movie, and details the documentary she created about it that she's bringing to Omaha next week.

What an appropriate title for this podcast. Not only did we talk about the misfire of an important missile during this show, and my general attitude throughout the program misfired on being a consummate professional in talking about things like the Creighton game, but the entire show misfired on actually being posted to this podcast link! So, this is Wednesday's radio show, posted here on Thursday, right after Thursday's show was posted before this one. Make sense ... or did I misfire? (Oh, and Nancy Travis is on this show!)

Today, we chit-chat about people freaking out with this cell phone outage, my optimism that America isn't coming to an end (for a rather unusual reason, I admit, but stay with me here), a very unusual "take your daughter to work" story, this impressive display of stubborness over a kid's hair, and we get to spend a few minutes with the great Jackee Harry.

Scott is playing the parts of both "Tired" and "Goofy" in this show, with weird looks provided by Lucy. The topics today: The ridiculousness of Marvel movies, people offended they offended someone who had the nerve to be offended by it, last night's "Clown Show" in Omaha, and more. Oh yeah: And Lucy's favorite nude scene.

On today's show, we yapped about the latest things happening in the legislature ($70, slapping food out yo' mouth, Slammin' Slama), a Taylor Swift story to justify the title of this podcast, McFlation, and more.

Today's conversations involve this issue between the Mayor's office and a City Council member, the best love song of all time (with JC Fisher of the Texas Tenors), the next OPS superintendent (with board president Spencer Head), and more.

How is this a responsible solution to Omaha's homeless population? Then, speaking of feeding people, I respond to Gov. Pillen's backtracking on "starving poor kids." Finally, we talk about "Chiefs," "Brave Tuesday," and more.

Particularly the Kia and Dove ads.

President and CEO of the Omaha Economic Development Corporation Michaeal Maroney talks with me about legislative and neighborhood criticism in the wake of the recent announcement of this proposed business park near Eppley.

The chair of the Sarpy County Republicans explains why they're upset with the Republicans on the Papillion-La Vista School Board. Then, we take a look at a local state senator's problems with the old tweets of the new state DHHS director.

The big business park proposed near Eppley has over one hundred problems: The people in that neighborhood who don't want to leave. We talk with a spokesperson for that group of property owners, before turning our attention to criticized comments from a Nebraska school superintendent, Nebraska's outgoing tourism slogan, and more.

Nebraska is about to spend $1 billion on a bandage, while ignoring the root causes of this major issue impacing our rural communities. We also talked about Elmo (America's Twitter Therapist), the Swift-Kelce conspiracies, and more.
