The 405 Aired Feb 12th, 2026
I wanna again welcome you to The 405 Coffee Break. Get you a cup of coffee, glass iced tea, or bottle of water. Guys, let's see what's happening.
OK Solberg:Mac, you listening? Spring wheat $5.33 a bushel. 550lb steer calf $4.95, all the way up to $5.08 a pound, depending on the condition. A butcher hog in Iowa 66ยข a pound, and a 100lb fat lamb in Billings $2.75 a pound. But guys, there's more, much more.
OK Solberg:Now now now you probably noticed I don't get political on this program. Well, in fact, even on Motor Monday, I use cars from all manufacturers. I don't want to get biased nor do I want to get political.
OK Solberg:Oddly enough, that reminds me of being on the school board. First off, before I got on the board, I'd hear, oh, there's politics involved. And I have to be honest with you guys, I didn't fully understand what that meant until until I got on the school board. Well, now I fully understand what it means when they say there's politics involved. And let me expand.
OK Solberg:While I was on the board, I heard someone say, I'm not usually the one to complain, but this had to be said. Okay. That's a little warning if you hear a person say that. So like I said up front, you probably noticed I don't get political on this program, and I'm not usually one to complain, and talk to you, but I just have to mention this. Have you seen those odd ads in the super shopper?
OK Solberg:Like like, what's the deal there? Some of those ads, I can't make heads nor tails out of. There was an incident at 3rd an Central, and Dave got a message about a package arriving, and somewhere in there somewhere in there was a man with a monkey. What's up, guys? Now there seems to be a romance going on with this guy and this gal.
OK Solberg:Have you read it? Have you looked? Have you seen it? I guess I'm a little late getting to the party. Here, I'll fill you in a little just in case you haven't checked it out.
OK Solberg:In Super Shopper dated February 4, just a little over a week ago, I see an ad and it reads, yikes. I almost became a widow before I nabbed a rich I mean, faithful husband. I see I'm not the only one that kills goldfish. What's this monkey? I guess I have to be ready to put up with animals as you seem to like them.
OK Solberg:I believe I should be number one in your life, but I'll take on any rivals before the wedding. I'm still dreaming of a rich I I mean, caring, healthy husband. I'll pray for your complete recovery, end of quote. Well now I'm not a dear Abby, and I don't like to stick my nose into somebody else's business, and I'm not usually the one to complain, but a big heads up here buddy.
OK Solberg:This gal sounds like she's a real fortune hunter, a gold digger, a treasure chaser. Yeah, man. Well, my like, what my dad used to call a gold plated freeloader. I know what the bible says in Proverbs 27:17 Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.
OK Solberg:Well, I don't wanna grab that dog's ears, and I lay awake worrying about what this guy might be getting himself into. Well, until I read yesterday's Super Shopper. I don't know if it's him, but it sure sounded like he smelled the rat.
OK Solberg:Did you read it? It says, woah, Bessie. Heel. Sit. I do like animals. I was down to the chicken coop just before my ambulance ride, and I noticed a odd something in the chicken feed trough. It appeared to be termites gnawing, but upon closer closer inspection, I found it was hen pecked, not a rooster in sight. Where did I put Esmeralda's number? End of quote.
OK Solberg:I'm gonna sleep a little better tonight, guys, knowing this guy has Esmeralda to console him. It appears that he's smelling something fishy here. I think he's wising up to it. I think he can see the snake in the grass. Believe me, I'll be checking the Super Shopper 1st thing on Wednesday, see what this gal writes now. Sign me, dear Abby's cousin once removed, but I know about this stuff.
OK Solberg:So until next time, as you go out there, remember now, don't be bitter.
