We have a wonderful show today.

Let's get rolling.

Oh, Barbara Hames Bryant, the dog days of summer.

The state fair has concluded.

The kids are back in school.

We're in an economy on the brink, but that's good news for people who need affordable homes and plentiful supply.

You are there in the breach.

Barbara Hames Bryant from Hames Homes.

Welcome back to the show, Barbara.

John, and yes, we do have some great options for affordable housing.

We've been through these economic cycles up and down for 53 years and we're still in business because we know what people need and we know what people like and we're good at matching people with the right home.

How do they get in touch with you at Haymes Homes?

The best way to reach us is online at HaymesHomes.com

We can also, excuse me, customers can also visit us seven days a week at our showroom at the corner of Wilson Avenue and West Post Road Southwest in Cedar Rapids.

That's in our Grandview Village Manufactured Home Community at the corner of Wilson Avenue and West Post Road Southwest.

Barbara, it's just wonderful to be with you again today.

Kids are back in school.

Folks are scrambling for housing.

People are relocating on jobs into the Cedar Rapids and Marion in eastern Iowa area within the sound of our voice.

That whole eastern part of the state.

Come see Barbara and the gang at Hames Homes and Barbara.

We'll be visiting with you again next week.

Thanks,

Don.

Have a great week.

You too, guys.

Get to Haymes Homes, the Homes people.

Let's welcome the show.

Let's bring in our appropriate special report newsmaker here.

In addition, a coach and Matt Garst and Chip Reven on the line.

Let's bring in our Twilight Zone music because here, directly from the Twilight Zone,

an obscure unheralded radio station elsewhere at one extreme end of your dial.

Alex Drake, the Husker-loving Hawkeye heckler, is on the line for us.

Hey, Drake, what's this Church of the Corn show?

I can't believe I'm advertising for Rival Show.

Church of the Corn, is that something in Waco or is that like by the Corn Palace in Mitchell?

What the heck?

Yeah, you know...

a Twitter poll between one of my cohorts and I, we let our fans kind of choose the title of our podcast that has since now grown into its own weekly time slot on the radio.

It is, you

do very well.

I'm giving your kudos, you and Zach and Fitz, Church of the Corner, doing a very nice job over there.

Thank you, thank you.

We have a good time with it.

Well, you guys are the exclusive play-by-play of the great Universitas Crétoniana.

Let's pull up that Creighton Fight song to make Alex feel at home.

Yes, that's and then the the one from the Men's Glee Club.

Let's pull that one up here.

Now, that's the one that that harkens back to, you know, my era guys, the Creighton Fight song.

Now, Scotty.

We bid for the rights to do crate play by play.

I put in a 47 cent bid.

I thought we would get it.

You outbid me kudos to you on outbidding me.

Did you go for a buck 50 or two?

Sorry, what's that?

Oh, Scotty.

Yeah, yeah, Scotty.

Yeah, I know the men's the Soviet Army course is very deafening.

You know, we bid on the Creighton games to get the play by play.

We spent 47 cents.

You outbid me kudos.

Did you spend two bucks or three?

three I believe

man we should have been picking up a few more Popcans Dave

I'm sure we could get a lot of Popcans in that Odyssey we need

to we need to have Naomi do a bake sale

next year we can

try to get that stolen away

here with fellow radio bond vivante alex drake who hosts church of the corn with zack and fits we've got some folks that want to ask you a few questions so we're going to go around robin uh let's start with scottie and i know coach and garsty want in our georgetown and iowa state buddies and reidman who is a husker fan wants in scottie wants to be traffic cop here for us

alex

drake on with us this morning

thanks for joining us this morning alex and uh it is a big season i think for uh

football as well as coach Frost I think it's a do or die season so to speak and you brought up a comment about the offensive line and unfortunately I thought coach Frost his comments were kind of taken out of context where he talked about the offensive line and a lot and even a lot of vomit buckets so to speak here about two weeks ago I always said I thought the special teams was the one that really needed the vomit bucket for the last couple years what are your thoughts

my wife was vomiting watching the second the special

teams last year.

Alex, you won't find that hard to believe she bleeds red.

Yeah, you know, special for the fans.

Yeah, we've needed the vomit bucket watching that special team.

You know, I yeah, I think Scott was being a little facetious with that comment.

And you know, in a do or die season, right?

Everybody's going to take everything

over the top when when they hear him talk.

I think what happened in the media and within the fan base on those comments was ridiculous.

Not to mention, you know, I played college athletics.

Duke King at practice is not uncommon leading into the season.

It's not.

I don't think it's that big of a deal, especially when you're talking about guys that you're trying to put weight on or maintain weight and you're having practice right after breakfast or right after lunch.

It just happens and that nutrition staff.

they know what's going on, whether those guys are puking or not, it's really a non-issue to me.

I can't believe it's gotten so much run.

Coach Knapp, you ran a very successful program over at Georgetown.

How excited are you this morning to talk about the vomit bucket in Nebraska?

I

mean, this is tremendous coaching, isn't it, that's going on there at Lincoln?

Hey, let me tell you something.

This guy, Alex, yo.

He's a nice guy.

He is.

I thought

he was like the master Hector.

What's going on here?

I was waiting for Robin Thicker

of

the Washington Wizards.

I mean, that guy is the master.

Charles Barkley flew him out to the 1993 finals to sit behind the Chicago's Bulls bench and they flew him out at the end of the first quarter.

Now, not the master

Hector.

Well, you know, I'm waiting to take my shot at John Harry.

He called me on Thursday night, and he always likes to talk about Nebraska bringing up the pass.

I could not get this guy off the phone.

All he wanted to talk about was the last Iowa guy to play with no helmet, both sides of the ball, and the four horsemen of Notre Dame.

John was talking about Nebraska bringing up the pass.

The guy knows more useless knowledge than anybody I've ever met.

Well, you're not going to get a lot of argument on that one at all.

I don't call

him that.

Alex, I've known him a lot longer than you, and he is one of the largest storehouses of unrelated facts I've ever known.

But

you know, guys, you're lucky that John is part of this show because nobody can read that many advertisements without breathing.

That is true.

That is the nice thing about that.

But, you know, Matt Garst, here we are talking about Nebraska football on week zero.

I mean, where's Iowa State going to fit in all this?

I mean, when I see week zero, I naturally think of Iowa State in Nebraska.

Oh, man, you're killing me here.

You're

killing me.

Alex, you have about seven of your 12 minutes left.

I do

have a question for Alex here.

I ran across a pretty interesting staff this morning.

I am just curious to hear your thoughts on it.

Nebraska is 30

two and four in season opener since nineteen eighty six and i understand that most of those openers are against non-conference opponents uh... generally at home in lincoln uh... three of those four losses have come in the last four years does that make you nervous i know the line it for today's game was it made balloon to thirteen and a half back down to twelve and a half

uh... last time

i checked here uh... what what tell me your thoughts on that

Yeah, so I actually took this game.

I got it at eleven and a half.

Eleven and a half yesterday.

You know, last year, Illinois' game was one of those unexcusable losses.

We'll just call it what it is.

I'm not as worried about, you know, coming out on top of this game, but I said on my show this morning, my fear is walking out of this game.

with a win that felt like a loss.

I feel like Nebraska does have to go out and put their best foot forward and kind of make a statement today to have that confidence.

So I am a little bit worried about the execution part of it.

So many new pieces offensively and some minor changes on the defensive side of the ball.

And Coach Fitzgerald is a heck of a coach.

I do think Nebraska comes out on top.

I do think they pull away and cover the spread.

my fear is, are they going to do enough to feel like they dominated a game that by all accounts, they should dominate because they are heads and shoulders above Northwestern on an individual talent level.

You know, here we are this morning.

It is week zero.

The Nebraska's kicking off the season and chip in Alex.

It was interesting that ESPN's Kirk Herp Street picked Nebraska to win the Big 10 West, why Lee Corso picked Iowa, the kiss of death for the Hawkeyes, I'm afraid.

And then, but a lot of people have Purdue with a very favorable schedule to be the champion in the West.

What are, how high are these expectations?

Because if I'm Nebraska, I don't want high expectations.

I want a bowl game.

try to build a program moving forward because the pressure is so high on that program.

Yeah, Chip and Alex, want to get your way in on that first chip and then Alex, go Chip.

Yeah, I think that's a good question.

This preseason analysis and guessing by some of these talking heads, particularly Corso, they can drive you nuts, but all they are is for ratings.

Is it interesting what you said about Purdue?

I think Purdue could be a surprise.

They do have a lot of good things going down there.

In Nebraska, I just don't see them winning the West.

I think that they'll be in contention.

I think it'll be like what Nebraska used to be back in the 80s and the 90s.

They were the spoiler.

They were the team that determined sometimes who the winner was because of the way that they came out of their game.

So when we get to the end of the season, if I was in contention and they're playing Nebraska, of course,

That could be a determining game.

Nebraska could be the one that helps decide who wins the conference.

Wisconsin, I believe, is late in the season.

It could be the same situation.

Wisconsin may come walking into Lincoln and go walking on the loss, and it may cost them the division.

So, Nebraska has always been an interesting situation like this over the years.

Unfortunately, lately, it always hasn't been on the good side of winning the division.

Alex, what are your thoughts on the season, the pressure and the expectations?

Is a bowl game good enough to keep Scott Frost around?

I don't know.

With Nebraska, in my opinion, I think so much of it depends on how that schedule shakes out, how your win-loss breaks out on the air.

I mean, is there a long shot that this thing could start 8-0?

And then you have those four tough ones to end the year.

beat in all four of those games to end the year.

I don't know how you walk into the offseason feeling good about that.

So to me, it's going to be a lot of circumstantial evidence on how the season plays out.

I love the high expectations from some of these national pundits.

You have to go out and play with pressure.

And to bring up Purdue, I've said this numerous times in the offseason.

Purdue is always the most interesting team in the conference to me next to Nebraska.

Purdue has a long history of pulling off a couple of wins that they have no business winning and then losing games that they have no business losing after they get those wins.

So I think Purdue is in the conversation, but I really think it's a four team race between Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin.

And it's going to come down to quarterback play and defense.

And I think.

On the quarterback side, I give Minnesota and Nebraska kind of the lead there, but defensively in special teams, Iowa's so good, Wisconsin protects their subpar quarterback play.

So it's going to be an interesting season for sure.

I think those are your four teams that are playing for that title, especially with Minnesota, bringing back their old offensive coordinator from when they were really good back in 2019.

In

our final three minutes here with

Alex Dray co-hosts with Zach and Fitz of Church of the Corn over on another network as we shall say but the Twilight Zone music rang it in that might give a hint for you.

Scotty you got a question here for

Alex.

You know I think that's pretty uh sums up pretty much the hot seat that Frost is on this year but I do want to uh let you know there would be a possibility uh if you do have to make a change I think Trev Elbridge made some news about that uh with a new head coach if we ever needed one.

You know Alex, you

know how does it feel to be owned?

by Kurt Ferrantz and have your athletic director basically say we got to go hire this guy because we can't beat him.

I mean, it's gonna

be a long

season.

You know, you Iowa guys are funny because do you think that Nebraska fans want to be where you're at?

Winning a winning program.

You don't want to be part of a winning bowling program.

Oh, got it.

I love

it.

Save that clip, Nick.

Save that clip.

You guys have won seven in a row.

Yes.

I give you your credit there.

and it's been really impressive with your

you weren't even dating Marie the last time you guys beat us

but John come on man your best 20 year run is during the breakfast worst 20 year run let's let's call it what it is you guys are getting your shot then while the breath is you know quite quite honestly

Completely anemic

but Alex you you're too young to remember our five national titles from the 1912 national

titles that Nobody voted on only you guys claim that was consensus.

Look it up on wiki.

It

has to be true.

Oh Yeah, you guys have no trophies.

You guys are banner you

trophies I'm pretty sure we have the heroes trophy hanging out I saw it at the Iowa State Fair you ever want to take a look at it

So but you know coach, you know, how do you how do you know if you're Scott Frost?

How do you compete with Kurt Farrance the Dean?

24 years at Iowa and since Nebraska has been in the conference.

You're on what number five

Well, it's not comparable, but you know I have to say Alex you're a really nice guy.

I'm really disappointed I thought I was going to get into a battle of Robin Pickers here Don't don't follow his career.

However, he just got divorced

and he's lost every political race he's won but won in this career so good luck to you.

Oh Alex you know you do take it in good faith you know but you know unfortunately Matt Garsh you've been kind of quiet over there I was kind of expecting little haymakers from Iowa State but since your conference is on it's you know death bed you know how are

you?

Oh I know no we're the we're the hunters not the prey

here.

Big 12 has been on life support since that Oklahoma Texas announcement.

They've been on the life support since they moved their headquarters to Dallas.

Oh, man.

No,

hey

guys, the Pac-12 is on life support now.

The shoe's on the other foot, guys.

So you guys, I always...

It's a 2-2.

It's a 2-2 for 3.

The ACC and the Big 12 are going to be right next to the Pac-12.

I'm just glad that the Big 10 can drag...

Purdue and Illinois and and the Chudder knots of Rutgers and Maryland along with them

Those checks do cash.

So don't have to worry about that.

I mean, you know Alex say I think you kind of understand You know here, Iowa Curt Ferrance is gonna be driving around in Lamborghini and Matt Campbell and Iowa State They're in a beat-up pinto that the blinkers don't work anymore.

I mean, they're gonna be on PBS after dark here before long

You know what, guys?

I'll tell you what.

Iowa State is the Honda Civic of college football.

A little bit lower priced, very economical, and consistently slightly disappointing.

You're

a bad man.

You're a very bad man.

That's better

being incredibly disappointing

than Nebraska.

Yeah, we have been, but...

When Nebraska's back on top, I'm going to have a riot with you guys.

Alex, you will.

And hey, all I got to say is about the Huskers.

You know, it's 2022.

Everybody has a bad century.

Yeah, you know, I wouldn't have had a great decade even.

Well, I think we're doing pretty good 24 years of a winning program.

It's just amazing how that happens.

You know, it just I feel I feel bad for Nebraska though.

I mean, here

you

are.

You thought you're going to come in and dominate and then you're having a struggle to go to Ireland to play

Northwestern a week zero.

Well, what's exciting is you realize now with with Nebraska getting 75.

Do you know how many coaches you can have?

Head coaches you can have on the payroll now

and athletic directors.

You have 75 million dollars.

There is a difference that Alex hasn't mentioned.

The difference is Nebraska doesn't measure themselves by winning seasons.

Conference championships and also national championships.

Our bar is a little bit higher than what the Iowa fans.

I'll

give you the bowling title last year was very impressive.

Yeah, that javelin championship on ESPN Ocho Cinco was just riveting.

I'm so grateful you guys got that.

You know, our air rifle team also did beat the military.

Take that for what?

But you know, that's the best thing about sports guys is here.

It was kind of a boring summer with conference realignment.

But here we are with football starting out, David.

We've got a lot of great things to talk about.

And, you know, for our listeners, it's we don't mean this malicious or anything.

We're just having a great time.

And that's the best thing about, you know, Iowa, Iowa State, Nebraska.

I'm looking for something to be turning over the wiener dogs and stuff on a grill somewhere.

This sounds like tailgating.

Well, here we are in the middle of great college football season.

And of course, people are traveling.

The seasons are changing.

Everybody wants to stay healthy.

Kids are mingling in college by the thousands.

A lot of close contact.

And we want to keep our immune systems rolling and welcoming back Dr. Ted Fogarty, who's literally on the cutting edge nationally.

and we're proud to call them our very own Iowan with some Omaha roots.

And Dr. Ted Fogarty, welcome back to the program.

Thank you, John.

Dr, you're not just spinning a bow tie, theorizing you've gotten the imprimatur of the US government on some of your innovative medical breakthroughs.

Let's talk about that.

Yeah, I received a

federal cares at Grant in October of 2020 to basically write up and broadcast the protocols that we're using at Aeronautics Clinic, which are the end to pandemic.

Dr. That's a huge thing.

The approach is part of that to rebuild the immune system and to keep it in a strong status and

You know, if I'm not mistaken, you go to the foundational level, the mitochondrial, the cellular level, that's where the powerhouse is, isn't it?

Absolutely.

So we're recapping the mitochondria with the mild hyperbaric air therapy.

And the designer nutraceuticals that I formulated in North Dakota with this grant, the purple powder, it's really the ultimate seedstock for mitochondria.

And I'm using that doctor.

I want to tell you I'm using that and I think it helps me with my stamina for one thing, but talk about how that purple powder works.

I'm also using the nitric oxide.

Yeah, it's a combination of the beetroot powder, which does help your vascular system create nitric oxide, spirulina, which if you look into the world's medical literature on this is God's greatest gift to

a self-replicating antiviral species is what spirulina is.

And then from the American advisor in medicine to the Dalai Lama, 80% of what the purple powder is is based on Dr. Albert Krumsworth.

And he got a patent in Canada right at the start of the pandemic for glutathione amino acid precursors acting as antivirals.

Wow.

Yeah, that glutathione is key, isn't it?

Indeed.

All right, we are at 3303 Berkwist Avenue in Spirit Lake.

Phone number is 712-339-6024.

And we are at aeronauticsperformance.com on the web.

It's spelled with an X at the end rather than

CS.

You know what, guys?

I've been up there.

I'm coming back.

I use their treatment protocols.

I think they're fantastic.

And they're reversing.

other problems involving stroke, illnesses, and dementia.

I congratulate you for, in the words of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Dr. Ted Fogarty, you, along with your colleague, Dr. Brad Meyer, are heroic doctors of conscience.

Thanks, John.

And now live and unrehearsed this is no mod to the great John McLaughlin and his group issues of the day with John Jacobson David Overholzer Scott Corey Mike Shane of the controls issue one Election tampering election rigging they laughed and said it was all specious

for two years.

But guys, Nate Silver, liberal prognosticator Nate Silver, claimed that liberal public health elites pressured Pfizer to delay fast-track approval of its COVID-19 vaccine.

until after the 2020 presidential election, thus denying then President Donald Trump a political win before voters headed to the polls.

Say it isn't so.

Scott Corey, this from Nate Silver for crying out loud.

How many different ways do these guys take a run at Donald Trump to deny him victory?

You know, it's just one of those things.

It's often reminds me of the line in Big Jake where you must think I'm a very dangerous man.

And that's how they viewed Donald Trump.

They threw everything at him.

They threw the kitchen sink at him.

They impeached him twice.

And if this is true, this is impeachable of a lot of officials and a lot of officials need to go to jail if this is that this actually pans out and is behind everything.

This is unexcusable.

We're making a banana republic.

Uh, we're giving them a bad name.

It's just unbelievable that this is happening.

David, I just think, you know, we're not even talking about ballots that were counted, not counted this way.

We're talking about manipulating the news cycle.

You know, it was shown that the one well respected professor showed that.

Google altering how you access searches and when you look at information may have thrown 13 million votes potentially to Joe Biden and now this bombshell from silver about the delay of the vaccine deliberately to hurt Trump.

You know what I just it's just amazing.

how these folks think that they're so sacred that their opinions are the only smart opinions in the room.

I mean, literally to try to manipulate a production, a product that's supposed to help the public.

What was more important was keeping Trump out of office and keeping Trump from getting a victory than it was delivering a safe product.

to the american people

well and not to mention that the chinese communist party didn't want to help donald trump at all he'd been their nemesis and look how that was exported deliberately uh once it leaked that that was exported by transatlantic flights all over north and south america issue two

Good grief we go from from leftist silver making our point to us for leftist Zuckerberg making a point for us Metta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, you know the Facebook guy this week told popular podcaster Joe Rogan that Facebook did limit stories on the news feed

related to the New York Post story about President Biden's son Hunter Biden and his laptop after warnings from the FBI.

Guys, the FBI knew it was not disinformation and yet they still called off Facebook.

Scotty, I can't believe this.

You know, I'm often wonder if George Orwell was alive today.

He'd be frightened about the way the United States is turning out.

It makes his book, 1984, look like just a child's book.

I mean, it's unbelievable.

We have election tampering flat out by the FBI.

And then you come, or you dovetail that to what happened with the raid and the secret documents, the so-called classified documents that Donald Trump's residents

Florida.

Then we also find out that it wasn't Donald Trump that was packing those documents.

GSA, the government watchdog that handles all documents, was responsible for packing the documents and sending them from the White House to his Florida home after he left office.

So it's not Donald Trump that moved those documents.

This looks like it was a setup by GSA and the FBI.

And then again, maybe not.

It's hard to tell this tangled web will have to be unwoven coming up.

But fascinating times in which we live.

Well guys, that's another great wrap on a wonderful program.

And thanks as always to Jeff Stein.

And our great ensemble cast today, not the least of which is Mike Shane at the Controls, our great engineer.

Guys, be safe, be smart, be good, be strong.

Love Jesus Christ.

God bless us, everyone.

We have always the delight here of having Barbara Haymes Bryant on the show.

Barbara, we're talking about neighbors, you know, Iowa nice.

I've always said Iowa nice.

If you scratch the surface, really portends love for neighbor.

And there's community involved with manufactured homes and the people who purchase and live in those homes.

That's right, John.

There's a reason why they're called manufactured home communities.

It really is a sense of community with friendly neighbors and people who care.

And I'm here to tell you landlords who care too.

People own their homes and lease the land.

So we provide a lot of great amenities for our Haines residents.

Let me give you a for instance.

Recently, we actually put in a food pantry in our Summit View office and Hay Cap Food Reservoir helps us with that.

Wow.

Originally we were serving about 50 families and now we're serving about 250 families.

Fantastic Barbara.

It is and anyone can come into the food pantry.

There's no pre-qualification necessary and people from outsider communities can also come.

Our front office there now looks like a little convenience store.

It's got just a little bit of everything.

Wow.

Plus this time here we get a lot of great fruits and vegetables from farmers.

Indeed.

Scotty, you know, absolutely.

Then you throw in the components of what they're doing in their community with the food bank and things like that.

It just shows that everybody is in this together.

And with people like Barbara leading the way, Iowa's future is going to be a lot brighter.

And you know, Barbara, how can they get involved with the food bank as well as with your homes and things like that?

Is there a website or a Facebook they can go to?

The best way to reach us is on our website at HamesHomes.com.

That's H-A-M-E-S-H-O-M-E-S dot com.

And we are also available seven days a week at the corner of Wilson Avenue and West Post Road Southwest in Cedar Rapids.

And the food bank is available at 100 Haines Street Southwest.

That's right off Wilson Avenue, 100 Haines Street Southwest from 10 to four Monday through

Friday.

You just do a great job with everything.

Enjoy all of our Iowa and Iowa State fans this weekend celebrating.

Barbara, someday we got to get you to DC.

Maybe it's Congresswoman Bryant, you know, or maybe, how about Governor Hames Bryant?

I like taking care of my neighborhoods right here in Cedar Rapids, John.

I know you do, Barbara.

We will talk to you again next week on the

expanded show.

Barbara, thanks for joining us again.

I can't wait to drop by and see you when I go out and see mom in a couple of weeks.

God bless.

Oh, I look forward to it.

Here we go Scotty John Jacobson here with Scott Corey you're listening to the Jacobson group on KXEL that beautiful 50,000 watt clear channel blowtorch the first one the nation 80 years ago Scotty to broadcast 50,000 watts clear channel and we are coming to you It's the triple option offense, which the Hawkeyes might need to run at some point.

We're on 1540 a.m

100.5 FM and streaming live in this show also is archive live and archive Scotty this is quite a weekend a lot has happened nationally internationally of course all eyes focused this weekend on Iowa Iowa State and you can kind of feel

that autumnal milieu is starting to get damp and wet and the temps are going down again.

Now it really feels like college football.

Doesn't it stop?

You know, absolutely, John.

You know, the leaves are turning and it's almost time for hoodie season.

You have a plug to Casey's is coming out with a breakfast pizza that tastes like a bushlight I saw the other day.

Sign me

up.

So we are in

football season.

You know, it's going to be an interesting game today with Iowa State coming into Iowa.

They haven't beat

in Iowa since 2014.

Matt Campbell is an offer against the Great Kirk Farrance.

I just hope Brian Farrance's offense is not an offer today because we can't keep relying on Phil Parker and the defense.

It's just going to be one of those slug fests and I think it's going to be the first one to seven probably wins.

But as we showed last week, the offense doesn't need to score seven.

The special teams and the defense can do it as well.

Man oh

man Scotty, is that not the truth?

And I think we even had

Dolph and Polak a little nervous last week calling that game Eddie was trying to calm down the social media Cat collars wasn't

he sure was he sure was and it was kind of funny listening to Dolph at the stadium He he was starting to run out of things to praise the offense in the first quarter It was that bad but you know a win is a win They have a long week to get ready for this Iowa State game.

It's gonna be one of those games.

I think we're

Iowa State will probably end up winning this game because that usually win when they're not favored to win But Phil Parker's defense.

I saw that up close and personal Saturday.

It is amazing.

It might rival on talent wise the 04 and

the

09 defense and can't see enough about the special teams Tori Taylor the the punter I mean he is the Heisman candidate for Iowa this year and that says something about our he's

the Reggie Roby

of the 21st century.

Absolutely, absolutely, John.

And it's going to be an interesting game.

Iowa State really wasn't pushed last weekend in their home opener.

Iowa was pushed the entire game.

But it was interesting.

It was the first time I had been in Kinnecks since they redid the north stadium or the north side of the stadium.

And that thing is loud.

And I don't think Iowa State is going to be prepared for how loud it is.

And we saw that last year against Penn State, where the crowd caused several penalties.

again last week, too, with the crowd just erupts.

Scott Corey, I was very, very impressed by you pulling that out because it is a salient observation.

My first Iowa Hawkeye game, I believe, was 1971.

And there were a couple of games I went to as a junior high and high schooler.

There was that great upset win over UCLA in Penn State at Kinnock.

Those were losing seasons, but

I remember how loud the Iowa crowd was.

Of course, I was intermixed in the student section then and had never really gone to a big game like that.

But it's louder and prouder now than even when they were ranked number one that year, my first year of law school there in Iowa City.

Ironically, Jeff Stein, the program director, KXEL, and I were studying hard at his then radio.

studio at the public radio station Iowa City but the Hawks were right number one that year and you know Scott my concern is this you're right the crowd is huge the announcers are now talking about is one of the toughest places to play in the nation I've seen this being written up now in the toughest stadiums and here's the thing though Scott that offense scared me last week now

Kirk Farrance is a master at keeping things under wraps Prior to the Iowa State game.

He is quite the poker player But Scott honestly that offense last week you were there you got to tell me about what you saw that vantage point that I Remember the one and ten oh and eleven Frank Lauterber teams from 50 years ago Scott they had some better offensive performance in those years

at 1-10 and 0-11 than what I saw last Saturday.

They had under 140 yards of offense.

We are ranked 127th out of 130th in total offense.

It's a dichotomy.

One of the greatest defenses and special teams ever with statistically one of the worst offenses.

And Scott, I say to myself, even with a middling, dare I say, play-caller and a middling cornerback, this could be a championship.

title contending team.

You know that's a scary part is that I was thinking back the other day as we were leaving Kinnick Stadium on the offense performance now a lot of it has to do with the you know Spencer he was off target quite a bit.

Brian's play calling was kind of questionable but you know the offensive line really struggled as well and so that's what concerns me and so it was kind of an all-around type situation and I got thinking the other day

Could you imagine an Iowa team with this type of defense, this type of special teams in our quarterback was a Ricky Stanzi.

Oh, man.

I mean, we would have been one of the premier teams in the nation.

And so, you know, Spencer, you know, the team is rallying around him right now.

But at some point Spencer has to prove it.

I mean, he is a three year starter.

And so this all falls on his shoulders.

And, you know, the thing that's really frightening to me is.

how much the defense was out there all week, or all game last week.

They're going to be gassed if this keeps up.

We saw it in the Michigan game.

It was just too much for them.

Exactly.

In South Dakota, you know, they were having eight, nine guys, sometimes 10 guys in the box because they knew that Iowa wasn't going to be able to get a deep threat.

Now, we do have some wide receivers that have been injured.

Hopefully we'll get them back.

Two that went to Purdue.

Two went to Purdue.

But, you know, so we have a lot going against us on the offense, but at the same time, it's there.

It's there for the taking.

It is.

So it all comes down to quarterback one and what he can do.

And if he gets his fundamentals

under control, I mean he can do it.

He needs to be a game manager and I don't like using that phrase, but it kind of reminds me and a friend of ours, Dave, he made the comment too, it reminded him of the Baltimore Ravens several years ago when they won a Super Bowl.

They had a tremendous defense and a subpar quarterback and look what they did.

Well, I'm not seeing we're going to win the national championship, but that's if we have a game manager that can get some first downs that can control that clock, it's going to put so much pressure off of that defense and Phil Parker can just turn them loose in the fourth quarter and do what they do.

Well, yeah,

Scott, don't get me wrong.

I mean, we've got a lot of Nebraska fans and they have had productive offense for four years and they have been in every single game they played and.

They have lost so many consecutive games by one score that I'll take an ugly win over a beautiful L any day of the week because Nebraska's got all sorts of those L's and we've got all sorts of those W's.

But Scott, I'm a trend line guy and here's what concerns me.

You know, the Hawks started out 6-0 last year after Penn State and then Scotty after that,

I think our offensive production, if I'm not mistaken, we played maybe another seven games after that in a game this year.

We've got one touchdown pass and I think eight interceptions.

That that's unheard of in college football one touchdown pass over maybe an eight game stretch

Yeah, that that is just unacceptable at this level and so you know a lot of that falls on Brian Ferenc offense the coordinator and I will give Brian credit what he met with reporters this week at Kinnick Stadium He took ownership of the struggles the offensive Offensive side of the ball had and unlike Scott Frost in Nebraska who threw everybody under the bus Brian

said it's on him,

but I do want

to

read

great tweet out the other day from Chris Facila.

Since 2015, when Iowa played in the Big Ten Championship, Iowa has been favored by fewer than 6.20 times.

In those games, Kurt Farrance has won 19 of them.

That is something.

That's a stat that even shocked me.

Now, don't get me wrong.

I don't want to get into these nail biters.

I'd like to put 20 on some people.

But at the end of the day, Kurt Farrance and his staff, they have a formula.

It's to have a decent offense and win the game with defense and special teams.

But at some point, as we saw in the Purdue game last year, you have to score points.

It's going to be interesting to see how the fans react this weekend at Kinnick Stadium because the Boo Birds were out in the first quarter last week against South Dakota.

You heard

him.

You were there.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And so, I mean, there's a lot of pressure on that offense.

And if Spencer can make a couple good throws and get at least one or even two touchdowns on the board, that's going to take so much pressure off of him mentally and emotionally that I think he'll be a much better quarterback.

You know, Scott, I'm looking back to...

a quarter century ago during Hayden's last year when the wheels kind of fell off there.

After a bowl game with Tim Dwight just the year before, I saw Hayden's last victory, that Northwestern game, where the Hawks moved to three and three, and then five straight losses after that.

Scott, sports illustrated, well, they actually looped through an article from another source, but there are folks talking.

Is Iowa stuck in a rut?

Does it need to reinvent itself a little bit?

I mean, some were derisively saying the offense looked like a pre-forward pass centuries ago offense.

Are we at a hinge point here?

How critical is this game to a Big Ten season?

I think it's very critical.

I don't want to say it's a must win, but it's basically a must win going into the season because our...

Big 10 schedule is one of the toughest we face this year.

We have Ohio State, we have Michigan, plus we have the West with the strong Wisconsin, good with a Minnesota team and Pat Fitzgerald's Northwestern Wildcats in Purdue who always give us a lot of trouble.

So this is very important for the Curt Farrance's team to get out on the winning side of it.

Not only that, but it's interesting is that Kirk and his defense

last couple years of bringing in four and five star recruits now just think if his offense started getting three star recruits and things like that and so I don't think we need to be on the panic button quite yet but I'm about ready to push it and so it all depends on what happens now that being said I think this is probably your Matt Campbell probably

It finally gets his victory against Kirk.

And that would just be par for the rivalry to

win in Iowa

City.

But I did see a great tweet the other day from one of my friends that said, you know, Kurt Farrance is the master troll because he made Matt Campbell watch 40 minutes of his offense.

So, you know, that

was that

was something, you know, you know, then he goes on to say, watch Iowa come out and put 50 on Iowa State.

You know, that would be that would be emblematic of a new Kirk.

But it's been.

crazy

series you know I I bleed Hawkeye black and gold that I myself have got this going 20 to 3 for Iowa State to the offense gels but Scott what concerns me looking forward this big 10 West now think about it Purdue looks really good although they barely lost Penn State they're gonna be tough Indiana beats Illinois but at the last second Illinois looks good

Northwestern beats Nebraska, but Nebraska turns on last week.

Minnesota is going to be very tough as is Wisconsin.

Good grief.

I see total parody.

among that big 10 West.

I could see a strut in the table or going over in the conference

West.

You know, that's a lot of projections out there that the big 10 West champion could have three to four losses.

And I think that's very possible

just based on how

this lines up.

You know, the one thing against Iowa right now is they do have to go to Columbus later on in October.

And they do have Michigan coming into Kenick Stadium the week before that.

So it's going to be interesting to see how this all matches up.

And you know, it's going to be.

one of those things too where what what teams show up at certain points you know what type of offenses was constant run you know that I'm thinking what that was constant Iowa game is going to be a slugfest in a phone booth I mean it's going

to be the

first one of six on that one and you know who knows what's going to happen with Pat Fitzgerald it's a even year and that's usually when he runs the table

usually take some fear for games he got out of the gate fast this

year that

really concerns

me well you know like we said though too it's kind of hard to bet against

that fits Gerald when you're playing in Ireland.

That's true.

That's what that's well said.

And so it's going to be a very interesting dynamic West run this year.

And I think at the end of the day, though, it all comes down to Iowa, Wisconsin.

Who wins that?

And it's going to be the driver's seat going into Indianapolis.

I agree.

Scott, our outro for this segment until we turn over to current events here.

My shyden fried moment of the week was Brian Kelly.

Getting nipped in the bud on that blocked extra point the the guy who left Notre Dame to their own devices for their bowl game who's kind of been parapetetic going anywhere for a better deal and leaving You know the leaving his wake in the dust, you know It was nice to see

Notre Dame losing.

It was nice to see Brian Kelly lose.

Those are my shite and fright moments of the week.

You know, absolutely.

It's kind of hard to root for a guy that when he was in South Bend all those years never had a Southern accent.

But then when he goes down to LSU, he sounds like he's a Cajun.

So, you know, he's just one of

those guys.

And it's kind of hard to root for him ever.

But, you know, in kudos to Florida State too, they have a very

exciting team.

And so

they're going to be making some noise in the ACC.

Mine is old.

been what happens in Lincoln they were struggling mightily they had a hangover from that Northwestern game I think and they have a very tough game moving forward here in a couple weeks it's gonna be interesting to see what happens in in Lincoln if Scott Frost is even around on Black Friday yeah but you know it's one of those things it's it's fall and it's like we always joke here we are a bunch of grown men but our week our weeks mood is gonna depend on how the Iowa game goes

so so true stay with us

on KXEL.

Don't touch that dial, as Jim Zabel would say, hug that radio, kiss that radio.

We'll be back momentarily.

Welcome back, KXEL, John Jacobson with Scott Corey.

Here is a beautiful weekend, even though kind of rainy and wet, the farmers need that rain, don't they, Scotty?

You know, absolutely.

It's a welcome relief to the drought that we've been facing all across the state of Iowa, but it's been quite an eventful week, hasn't it, John?

Scotty, the cycles and the rhythm of life, I am in my 62nd year

And I have never lived when the head of state of Britain has not been Queen Elizabeth II.

And so this has been heard in the last three, four days here across Britain in homage to their deceased fallen Queen Elizabeth II.

Some American school children recognize that Melody reworked into America of the I sing my country tis of the You know Scott now the song is God Save the King which is the first time in 70 years and probably in my lifetime

It will be the last time that I will ever hear this song, God Save the Queen, because the heirs are male and they're well established.

So truly the end

of an era.

It sure is, John.

And you think back to everything that happened during Queen Elizabeth's reign.

Her first prime minister was Winston Churchill.

That is

unbelievable.

It

is.

And

then, you know, she...

had to be a part of leading Europe out of the World War Two and everything that took place there, the Iron Curtain across Eastern Europe and then the Cold War and then finally she was there when Reagan and Thatcher and Pope John Paul II created that triumphant that went ahead and took

down the Soviet Union.

And then you

know the fall of the Soviet Union, a man on the moon.

I mean it's just all the things that she was there for is just something and it'd be interesting.

to see how history puts her up there but I think in a lot of ways she will be remembered right along with another Queen Elizabeth.

Yeah I think so and certainly up there with Victoria

for

herself too.

Victoria of course with the long reign but not as long as QE2.

You know there's this idea we'll talk about governments here in just a second after I play this clip but

There's something to be said for a ceremonial head of state that is bifurcated away from the political rough and tumble.

That's the way the Brits have chosen to do it.

The king and queen were much less benign figures then than now.

But you know this queen, QE2 had an impish sense of humor for people that thought of her...

Earlier on perhaps is somewhat formal and stiff.

She certainly had this impish sense of humor as recounted by one of her former bodyguards in encountering some Americans.

Take listen.

And normally on these picnic sites you meet nobody.

But there was two hikers coming towards us and the Queen would always stop and say hello.

And it was two Americans on a walk in holiday.

And it was clear from the moment that we first stopped they hadn't recognized the Queen, which is fine.

And the American general was telling the Queen where he came from, where they were going to next, and where they'd been to in Britain.

And I could see it coming, and sure enough, he said to Her Majesty, and where do you live?

And she said, well, I live in London, but I've got a holiday home just the other side of the hills.

And he said, well, how often have you been coming up here?

Oh, she said, I've been coming up here ever since I was a little girl, so over 80 years.

And you could see the clogs thinking.

He said, well, have you been coming up here for 80 years?

You must have met the Queen.

I love it.

And as quick as a flash says, well, I haven't, but Dickie meets her regularly.

So the guy said to me, you've met the Queen, what's she like?

And because I was with her a long time and I knew I could pull her leg, I said, oh, she can be very contangous at times.

But she's got a lovely sense of humour.

And you know, the next thing I knew, this guy comes around, put his arm around my shoulder.

And before I could see what was happening, he gets his camera, gives it to the queen, and says, can you take a picture of the two of us?

Anyway, we swapped places, and I took a picture of them with the queen, and we never let on, and we wave goodbye, and in an emergency said to me, I'd love to be a fly in the wall when he shows us photographs to the friends in America.

Isn't that absolutely magnificent, Scotty?

Very active till the end, as we said.

Her last tweet just a couple days before she passed.

Queen Elizabeth II, Her Royal Highness, quote, I have information that will result in the arrest of Hillary Clinton.

Well, it's amazing how many people had those tweets go out and all of a sudden they're they're talked about in in a youthful manner.

But, you know, one of those great things about her sense of humor, too, was that I think it was a story with when then President George W. Bush met her.

She was at the White House and Bush's dogs were very happy to meet her and were jumping all over and she took it with such grace and humility and President Laura Bush at the time just laughed hysterically to see the Queen of England play with his dogs like that in the Oval Office.

She loved her corgis, but man, those biting dogs would have taken a chunk of flesh out of her like they did on those Secret Service agents.

John Jacobson and Scott Corey here with you.

Well these doctors I'm bringing on are friends Ted Fogarty and Brad Meyer.

They've got a special guest with them today.

Doctors Ted Fogarty and Brad Meyer from Spirit Lake and you've got a guest with you and we're going to talk about today Ted and Brad.

Hey glad to be with you today John.

Hey John we're going to talk about some political football that's going on in Iowa and across the border lands with Nebraska.

regarding the care of Iowa citizens.

Yes.

And it's a very grave and important matter.

Yes.

What we have brought into Iowa from Nebraska, actually, in terms of medical therapeutics and innovation with hyperbaric therapy into Ocoboji is it's literally

I hate to use this word in certain contexts, but it's literally the holy grail of medicine.

And we are healing people with neurological injuries, long-term strokes, dementia, and also an important cohort of people in Iowa who have been injured by the spike protein, either from the vaccine or from COVID itself.

And so...

We now have a situation with the, and you're very familiar with this, you know, you led the House Bill 647 Subcommittee hearing, which was the most, the most witnessed political event in the state capital of Iowa, probably since the start of the state, with the health freedom bill that you put forth.

And we now have this cabal, if you will,

of medicine men in Iowa coming after my partner Brad Bradley Russell Meyer for saving lives in Iowa with what I taught him across state lines and how to do this.

And I'm going to throw it back out to you and to Dr. Hartsuch who have been doing incredible work on behalf of the citizenry of Iowa to make sure that this malignant, malfeasance medical tyranny

is ended as soon as we can get it ended in the state of Iowa.

Let's bring in Dr. David Harcich, also CPA David Harcich, the honorable David Harcich, former Iowa State Senator, Republican from the Quad Cities.

Doc, what can you tell us?

We want to hear you weigh in.

John,

good talking to you, Ted.

Glad to hear from you, Brad.

Good talking to you, too.

I would say that right now,

You know what's so funny?

Since I met Ted and Brad, I've bought my own hyperbaric chamber out here in the Quad Cities.

And I'm really proud that we've been able to treat two people with the long haul COVID who could barely get through their activities of daily living like grocery shopping.

And now they have turned around with like even just three treatments.

It's amazing what's happened.

And I think what's happened in the state, though,

is that the people or doctors who are actually treating COVID or the problems with the shot, etc., are having to go underground because they're afraid about board action.

And I think this has been a real disservice to our state, particularly those people who deserve to have informed consent.

You know, informed consent is at the key of it.

And when the board itself is going after doctors who are trying to inform patients and keep them in, you know, about how to take care of these things, it's had a stifling effect on the ability of patients to get legitimate free information from their doctors and the community as a whole.

Dr. Hertzich with us, how do we get a hold of you guys?

Yeah, get a hold of us at aeronauticsperformanceclinic.com, and that's within X. Or you can call our phone number at 712-339-6024.

You know, that's tremendous.

And folks, next week, Scotty, we expand the full hour, which gives us double the time.

to talk to these folks about the dramatic innovations in Iowa going on in curative medicine, always proud to be in Iowa, whether we're a Hawkeye or a Cyclone or a Panther.

You know, absolutely.

They are doing, you know, the Lord's work.

We are going to get to the bottom of some of the things that have been going on in the medical society the last couple years in Iowa.

And I really look forward to the conversations we have with them moving forward.

As Chevy Chase would say, doctor, doctor, doctor, great to be on with all of you today.

Thank

you, John.

Thanks, John.

I think they said that on mass.

That too.

50th anniversary.

Take care, guys.

Thanks, John.

Guys, this has been another great show.

We are so excited.

to expand to this one hour program.

I got Mike Shane engineering, Scott Corey, Chip Reidman in studio with me and our special guest today.

Georgetown legend coach Patrick J. Knapp Jr.

Cyclone expert Matt Garst and Hawkeye, tuition paying dad David Overholzer.

Let's roll.

Now we're joined with Barbara Haynes Bryant, who is a gracious part of the sponsor of our program here.

Barbara, we have a lot of things going on in our communities.

Talk to us a little bit about the amenities of a Haynes Bryant home.

Well, you're going to love Haynes home.

Our neighborhoods are lovely.

Everyone who moves in is subject to a background check, so we don't have any drug dealers or sex offenders living in our communities.

We have 24 by 7 on-call management available 365 days a year in case there's any resident problems.

Our communities have over 2,000 residents living in them.

And if you think about it, that's bigger than 80% of the towns in Iowa.

So we really are like our own small town and we take care of our residents.

So when you talk about the safety of your community that you live in,

The question I'd have is, this I guess is my engineering background, is the safety of the home.

My experience in the manufactured homes is these things are built incredibly solid.

I mean, to be set on a foundation, it's got to be a solid unit.

Tell us about how the house is constructed and how solid it is and how safe any family could be inside of it.

Today's modern manufactured homes are built with the same building materials as site-built homes.

Same two by four walls, same insulation, same shingles, same siding.

When they're installed on the home site, they are strapped down and anchored four feet into the ground, and there's several of those.

They're on a grid beam and runner system.

Now I can tell you for sure, this is an excellent installation system because during the derecho, when we had 140 mile an hour winds,

The roof blew off of our brick office building, but not one single of our homes tipped over or moved more than a couple feet on their foundation.

These homes, once they're installed, they're built to last.

This is awesome.

This show is built to last.

Barbara, this is going to be on podcast perpetually for folks that listen to the show on the podcast.
