Before the basketball game tonight, we have to talk about the social media verdict, the hand vs. train incident here in Omaha, and so much more!

It's going to get Smokey this summer, Lucy gets her "Cake," Creighton fans don't seem to think the sky is falling, ICE thins airport lines by murdering people or whatever Hakeem Jeffries thinks is happening, and much more today!

Big Red is in the Sweet Sixteen, the markets are soaring based on what the President just said about Iran, the weather will be beautiful this week ... so why am I (temporarily) having heartburn?

I hope you like basketball!  It's certainly not the ONLY thing we talked about today (there was that enthralling conversation with Lucy about watering the lawn), but it came up a lot!

Important conversations from this morning's show while most of us were waiting for basketball to start:  Scott Knudsen from the Patriot Guard Riders preparing for the metro's next military funeral procession next week; Platte Institute CEO Jim Vokal on the state budget shortfall and city wastewater expense controversy, and Nebraska Cattlemen president Craig Uden on how we can help the ag producers impacted by the sandhills wildfires.

Because everything was broken yesterday, our St. Patrick's Day show never posted here!  So, I'm posting just our conversations with Sheriff Aaron Hanson (dog abuse case) and Sen. Pete Ricketts (wildfires, Iran, basketball).

A wildfire update, Lucy's "dumb question" about helping out the sandhills, Trump's latest defection, "sacrifice" here at home during the Iran conflict, and -- oh, yeah -- lots of basketball to consume inside with perfect weather outside.  THIS is "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year."

Wildfires in the west, ice in the east, wind EVERYWHERE, and Nebraska basketball limping into the bracket.  Madness.

Plus, our state budget fight, rumpled journalists admonished, Greg Wagner from NE Game and Parks, and more!

In today's edition of "Scotty Doesn't Know," we also cover the President's 180 on the oil reserves, a guest joining us live from Israel, Omaha falling out of love with a parade, baseball cards, rap battles in the Raising Cane's drive-thru, and more.
