Today's batch smells like the reality of "mass deportations" from Omaha, OPS kids missing a lot of school ("I wouldn't say I've been missing it, Bob"), the long overdue "Do They Know It's Christmas" rant you never knew we needed, and much, much more!

They wouldn't REALLY resort to that, would they?  Also on today's show: The Tyson fight, AI wants us to die, and "Parks and Recreation" star Jim O'Heir has a new book out for fans of the show.

I hope RFK Jr. is able to take a look at this podcast, because I'm pretty sure it's bad for your health.

Danica McKellar is disappointed in my recollection of how "The Wonder Years" ended.  She rebounded after this much-deserved scolding, bringing us all closer to the Christmas spirit ahead of her new movie on Great American Family, "A Cinderella Christmas Ball."

Andrew Sullivan with the Omaha Chapter for Sons of the American Revolution talks about this effort, and how you can be a part of it.

We talk today about all the ADULT-AGED college students and professors turning to therapy ducks and hot cocoa to deal with election anxiety, some disturbing text messages going around the country blamed on MAGA, and -- finally -- end this week in the most atonal-but-appropriate way possible.

Interesting now that the politicians and media that have been so divisive over the campaign suddenly want to take the high road and find harmony.  Is that what their followers want?  This show today includes a lot of that discussion, as well as a side step down candy cane lane for a fun conversation with Candace Cameron Bure!

A lot of races, a lot of reasons, and a lot of "shoes to try on" as we examine the election results.

We talk about what might happen tonight, what should happen tonight, and how those with TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) might cope either way with Brandon Straka of the #WalkAway movement.

Is there any chance we could cast ballots in this election that aren't marinated in anger and spite?  Lucy and I talk about that, what happens when you try to swat away spam political texts, and check in with Sen. Grassley on this shock presidential poll out of Iowa.

PottCo Sheriff Andy Brown explaining what they do there differently from DoCo that keeps them off the sanctuary county list that Omaha's on.

Forget the Blue Dot Congressional race, this Fischer-Osborn race could decide the balance of power in the Senate.  I talk about that and more with NewsNation's Leland Vitter.

Ok, it's really not that scary (though I do sing for a moment today).  Today's varied conversations include a pro-life attorney defending Initiative 434 against some pro-life voices, Omaha native Yolonda Ross promoting her new film ("Absolution" with Liam Neeson), Lucy and I mocking this "Beggers' Night" madness in Des Moines, PottCo Sheriff Andy Brown explaining what they do there different from DoCo that keeps them off the sanctuary county list, and more!

At least, that would probably be the assessment of President Biden, based on what he said yesterday that VP Kamala Harris is SAYING she disagrees with.  Also, we talked today with William Lee Golden of the Oak Ridge Boys about their new album and his thoughts on the significance of this election.

After a few minutes with Rep. Mike Flood (talking Bacon and meat), Lucy and I examine these polls showing America is afraid of violence after the election.

Omaha Chamber President and CEO Heath Mello tries to allay my "philosophical differences" with these bond issues before voters Nov. 5th.

I welcomed both Sen. Deb Fischer and challenger Dan Osborn on the program today, in these separate interviews.
