Today's batch hits you across the mental nostrils with the scent of Birthing Person's Day, now-useless pipelines, happy little trees, Tawny and the Monkees, and more.

The Sara(h)s: Sarah Johnson in Dist. 1 and Sara Kohen in Dist. 7.

Thank you to Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert and RJ Neary for joining our panel of journalists (Julia Bertino, Terry Leahy, and Brian Mastre) for this important conversation about the future of Omaha ahead of Tuesday's city elections.

The question of whether to defund the police has come up in two Council races, thanks in part to Tony Conner of the Omaha Police Officers Association (and he's been called racist for this part in it). He joins me to address all of this. Also, does anyone read these descriptions? Are you reading this right now? If so, and you want two tickets to Junkstock in Waterloo this weekend, send me an e-mail ([email protected]) and you MIGHT win a pair! I will e-mail you back if you're randomly selected among the responses I get to this exercise in curiosity. Deadline to e-mail for the chance of winning is 2:30 p.m. today, May 6th, 2021. Good luck -- and thanks for reading!

From KFAB's Morning News: I think I made Jim Rose uncharacteristically uncomfortable with my across-the-board stance on this cultural wedge issue of transgenderism.

Dr. Sue Greenwald of the Protect Nebraska Children Coalition explains her reasons why proposed sex ed. standards in Nebraska would be harmful for children and families. Then, Lucy and I discuss Facebook banning Trump, Biden welcoming refugees, and the latest rift in the Omaha mayoral race ... not necessarily in that order.

We listened in on a crazy woman's assertions about the world's most patient police officer, attempted to determine who the CIA is trying to hire vs. who they're trying to stop, realized our assumptions were correct about a shooting in CB, and more and more and more.

Snow White isn't woke enough. Elizabeth Warren calls Democrats sexist. Governors and college presidents fight over who is willing to get sued over mask mandates. Etc etc etc.

Why isn't the Spring Game sold out? Why are we still led to believe Biden is the most popular President ever? Why do we think a dog can smell the coronavirus? These are just a few of the burning questions we mock in today's show.

Not really; not anytime soon, certainly, no matter what the Council says. Also, why aren't doctors telling women about this particular side effect of the vaccine?
