The SNAP "compassion" argument ... defending a couple of local killers ... "What are you doing for Memorial Day weekend?" -- everything is setting me off today!

How's that for a podcast title? We address the "animal" issue at Ralston, proposed sex ed. standards in Nebraska's public schools (with gubernatorial candidate Breland Ridenour), America's youngest MENSA member, and more.

Today's (mixed with yesterday's) batch smells like severed pig heads, the end of Omaha's mask mandate, Richard Marx, and more.

Justin Dougherty with the Autism Action Partnership addresses the issues involved when a child on the spectrum goes missing. Then, I talk with Lucy (and Randy Mack!) about mask anxiety, shoddy bridge inspectors, and much more ... all while trying to get Garth Brooks tickets.

Also, we learn that Millard West students are treated to an awkward pause during the Pledge, Demi is now a They, and Charles Grodin was awesome.

Gov. Ricketts shuts down the Bard, Dr. Sue Greenwald details her battle over Critical Race Theory with the Board, and AOC wants to keep gang members on this side of the Border.

That question was posed by an esteemed listener during today's diatribes, which covered gas hoarding, dead whales, infrastructure, BLM, the Rock Hall, and more.

James Golden, aka Bo Snerdley, talks with us about working with the most popular talk radio personality of all time. His podcast, "Rush Limbaugh: The Man Behind the Golden EIB Microphone" debuts May 12th on iHeartRadio.

That thought occurs to me as Sen. Paul and Dr. Fauci are engaging in another of their testy give-and-takes this morning.
