In this episode of Rush to Reason, John Rush invites listeners to a lighthearted and insightful discussion on the best comedy films of our times. From personal favorites like Happy Gilmore and Anchorman to Monty Python’s satirical genius, the conversation offers a colorful palette of what laughter looks like across the spectrum. Learn why humor is subjective and what makes comedic timing a true art form.
SPEAKER 23 :
This is Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 07 :
You are going to shut your damn yapper and listen for a change because I got you pegged, sweetheart. You want to take the easy way out because you’re scared. And you’re scared because if you try and fail, there’s only you to blame. Let me break this down for you. Life is scary. Get used to it. There are no magical fixes.
SPEAKER 20 :
With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 34 :
My advice to you is to do what your parents did.
SPEAKER 30 :
Get a job first. You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 32 :
Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life. That there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there. It is this feeling that has brought you to me.
SPEAKER 06 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush. Presented by Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning.
SPEAKER 25 :
All right, we are back. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Hour number two, myself, Andy, and Charlie. And again, we’re going to do favorite comedies. A couple of you have already texted in, which I appreciate greatly. Keep doing that throughout this hour, and we’ll keep adding those to our list.
SPEAKER 15 :
You know, comedies are very varied. They’re very different. I think your favorite comedy says more about you than the movie itself. Would you say that?
SPEAKER 25 :
I just like stupid humor.
SPEAKER 15 :
I do too.
SPEAKER 25 :
I don’t want to have to think about it.
SPEAKER 15 :
I know.
SPEAKER 25 :
I just want stupid humor.
SPEAKER 15 :
But some people like bawdy humor.
SPEAKER 25 :
Right.
SPEAKER 15 :
Some people like really stupid humor. Some people like highly intellectual humor, right? The witty, the intellectual repartee, my fair lady. I would enjoy that. You would enjoy that. Trust me. It’s just not your style. You can keep up easily, but it’s not your style.
SPEAKER 25 :
Right.
SPEAKER 15 :
And it’s just a different kind of humor that different people like.
SPEAKER 25 :
Got it.
SPEAKER 15 :
So I think it says a lot about the person, which I like.
SPEAKER 25 :
Yeah, no, I would agree with that. I mean, to me, I want to watch a comedy where I’m not thinking about anything. Right. To me, that’s why you watch a comedy. Laugh, have fun, not think about anything, enjoy it.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 25 :
To me, that’s what a comedy is supposed to be.
SPEAKER 15 :
Would you agree, before we go to break, would you agree comedic writing, because I said this in the last hour, is the hardest writing there is? Sure, absolutely. Because you are having to write things that catch people off guard. You have to surprise somebody in the moment to make them laugh. If they see it coming a mile away, they’re not going to laugh.
SPEAKER 25 :
Exactly. It’s got to be quick, witty, fast, delivered properly, all of that.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, it’s really hard.
SPEAKER 25 :
No, absolutely. I agree with you on that one. All right, Paul Leuenberger coming up next. He is my insurance agent. He would love to help you with all of your insurance needs as well. He will train you on how to save money when it comes to your insurance costs. 303-662-0789.

SPEAKER 05 :
Here’s why you need personal injury attorney Kevin Flesch on your side. He understands the way the jury thinks. In the context of a personal injury case, you’ve been hurt by someone else’s negligence. The idea is that you’re going to try to recover so that you can get back to where you were just prior to that incident occurring. What that really means from a jurist’s perspective is that you’re going to be asking them to award you money. So when we talk about fairness, we’re talking about six people that you don’t know. Those six people view the evidence and make a unanimous decision that will decide what the fair value is. When you’re the one who’s hurt, you have a good idea of what you think it’s worth. The question is, can you persuade those other individuals whom you don’t know and were witnesses to believe that’s what the case is worth? Kevin Flesch understands the way the jury thinks. Call now for a free consultation. 303-806-8886

SPEAKER 25 :
All right, we are back. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Richard with us as well, myself and Andy Pate, and we’re going to do Favorite Comedies.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s going to be fun. You hear, Richard? Oh, that I am, Andy. That you are. Okay, now we’ve done this clip many times before, but the reason I’m going to play it this time again is because there is a certain band that’s mentioned in it that is very much of the moment. Here we go from the 40-year-old version, Why You’re Gay.
SPEAKER 18 :
You gay now? No, I’m not gay. I’m just celibate. I think, I mean, that sounds gay. I just want you to know that this is, like, the first conversation of, like, three conversations that leads to you being gay. Like, there’s this, and then in a year, it’s like, oh, you know, I’m kind of going to want to get back out there, but I think I like guys. And then there’s the big, oh, I’m a gay guy now.
SPEAKER 19 :
You’re gay for saying that. I’m gay for saying that? You know how I know you’re gay? How? How do you know I’m gay? Because you macromade yourself a pair of jean shorts.
SPEAKER 18 :
You know how I know you’re gay?
SPEAKER 19 :
You just told me you’re not sleeping with women anymore. You know how I know that you’re gay? How? Because you’re gay and you can tell who other gay people are? You know how I know you’re gay? How? You like Coldplay.
SPEAKER 25 :
That’s hilarious now.
SPEAKER 15 :
I just had to. Anything mentioning Coldplay, I gotta play it.
SPEAKER 25 :
That’s hilarious.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s just too funny. What do you think, Richard?
SPEAKER 20 :
You know, Andy, again, one of those movies that I’m not sure they could make it again, although they should.
SPEAKER 15 :
I think it would be a stretch. Although John and I were talking about this with the way Trump has changed the culture and the way Go Broke has been taking over. And we look at these jeans ads changing everything. Maybe you could make yesterday’s movies today. What do you think?
SPEAKER 20 :
Maybe. I guess it depends on the movie. I just wish comedies were as funny as they used to be, Andy.
SPEAKER 15 :
I agree.
SPEAKER 25 :
Yeah, we were talking about that earlier because they’re not.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s been rough. It has been a rough ride. Okay, Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 20 :
All right. Oh, there’s so many. All right, I’ll go with one because it came out on Netflix. We talked about it last week. Not the second, but the original Happy Gilmore.
SPEAKER 25 :
Oh, yeah. Yeah, that one counts.
SPEAKER 20 :
I did not see the second.
SPEAKER 25 :
I haven’t seen it yet either. Was it funny?
SPEAKER 20 :
It’s I mean, it’s a second movie that was 30 years. It’s been that long?
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay, you’re qualifying it. That means it’s a dud. It’s been 30 years? It is.
SPEAKER 20 :
It’s a dud. It came out in 1996, Dad.
SPEAKER 15 :
That means it’s awful. If you’re qualifying it like that, it’s got to be bad.
SPEAKER 25 :
Why does it seem like it wasn’t that long ago? It’s not awful, Andy.
SPEAKER 20 :
Andy, okay, let me put it this way. Okay. And for folks that don’t know, Andy’s rather critical, which he’s a movie critic, right? So he’s supposed to be. It’s not Andy’s cup of tea. He wouldn’t enjoy it. But if you’re just looking for a Friday or Saturday night movie, was it entertaining enough? Yeah, it was. It had some fun guy humor, a very silly premise as far as the golfing piece of it, but lots of funny cameos, especially if you know Sandler’s movies. And the golf world. There’s lots of funny stuff that way.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay. Well, I love his movies. I do. So maybe I’d like it. We’d have to see.
SPEAKER 25 :
I’ll have to watch it. I haven’t seen it.
SPEAKER 15 :
All right, John, you’re up.
SPEAKER 25 :
All right, because I think Andy has a clip. History of the world, which is absolutely hilarious, especially this part. So go for it, Andy.
SPEAKER 15 :
And this is Moses coming down from the mountain.
SPEAKER 34 :
Lord, I shall give these laws unto thy people. Hear me. Oh, hear me. All pay heed. The Lord, the Lord Jehovah, has given unto you these 15… 10 commandments for all to obey.
SPEAKER 25 :
Did he drop one?
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah. So funny. I thought that was just one of the funniest moments.
SPEAKER 25 :
Mel Brooks.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay, I’m going to go on this one. I’m going to go with something we’ve heard before, but I enjoy it too much. And that is Anchorman. Here we are. It’s hilarious. Got to talk about a little cologne.
SPEAKER 27 :
It’s called Sex Panther by Odeon. It’s illegal in nine countries. Yep. It’s made with bits of real panther.
SPEAKER 11 :
So, you know, it’s good. It’s quite pungent. Oh, yeah. It’s a formidable scent. Stings the nostrils. In a good way. Brian, I’m going to be honest with you. That smells like pure gasoline.
SPEAKER 27 :
They’ve done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time. That doesn’t make sense. What? Let’s go see if we can make this little kitty purr.
SPEAKER 23 :
You’re such an idiot. You’re such idiots.
SPEAKER 25 :
That is a funny movie. It is. It’s just stupid fun. Because they’re all morons.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, I still think one of the very best characters in it was Steve Carell.
SPEAKER 25 :
Oh, I agree.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh my gosh, he was so funny. He does great side characters. He could be the lead in the movie, but he could also be a great side character.
SPEAKER 25 :
I agree with you, 100%.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay, Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 20 :
All right, I’ll go with a silly, stupid humor one. Napoleon Dynamite.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yes. Oh, yeah. I do not have a clip, but that was a funny movie. And that was a movie, I don’t know if you know this, Richard, it had virtually no budget.
SPEAKER 25 :
Zero. Let me look it up really quick. I mean, that one had absolutely zero budget.
SPEAKER 15 :
And it got lousy reviews. And it made a ton of movie. Not money. A ton of movie. Wow. It made a ton of money.
SPEAKER 20 :
It did really well. Andy, that just goes to show you, you movie critics don’t know anything.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, you know, I’m going to mention it later, but you know what got bad reviews? Tommy Boy.
SPEAKER 25 :
Yeah, and it did great, too.
SPEAKER 15 :
Can you believe that?
SPEAKER 25 :
So, okay, really quick. Budget for Napoleon Dynamite, $400,000. It grossed $46 million. Wow. Pretty good profit on that one.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, I’d say so.
SPEAKER 25 :
They did pretty well.
SPEAKER 15 :
I would say so.
SPEAKER 25 :
That’s hilarious. All right. Well done, Richard. John, you’re up. Let’s see here. I’m trying to pick ones that we don’t always talk about because some of these just keep coming up over and over and over again because they’re just so hilarious. How about Step Brothers?
SPEAKER 15 :
Step Brothers was funny.
SPEAKER 25 :
Very.
SPEAKER 15 :
It was. It was. Now, it did drag a little here and there, but boy, the funny moments were just hilarious.
SPEAKER 25 :
Just their fighting and just how stupid they are. One of the funnest ones is when they’re in the interview, the job interview.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yes. That was wrong. Just hilarious. That was great. How to blow a job interview.
SPEAKER 25 :
Exactly. It’s hilarious.
SPEAKER 15 :
One of these days, we should just do best job interviews in movies.
SPEAKER 25 :
Oh, that would be good. There’s a bunch of them.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. I’m going to go way, way, way, way, way back. The first big comedic role for Jim Carrey was actually Ace Ventura, Pet Detective. And this is him. He’s looking at a scene and he suddenly channels Captain Kirk. Here we go.
SPEAKER 30 :
Captain’s log, Stardate 23.9, rounded off to the nearest decimal point. We’ve traveled back in time to save an ancient species from total annihilation. So far, no signs of aquatic life, but I’m going to find it. If I have to tear this universe another black hole, I’m going to find it. I’ve got to, Mr. Earth!
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s hilarious. When he first did that movie, I was just like, my gosh, what a talent. I mean, I could not believe how talented he was. I had seen him in really small roles like in Earth Girls Are Easy, just tiny stuff. And obviously on the comedy shows on TV, I had never seen him do this. He was amazing. Richard, did you ever see Pet Detective?
SPEAKER 20 :
I did, Andy. And when nature calls.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah. Which wasn’t too bad either. The first one was fresher, but the second one had some funny stuff. So you are up.
SPEAKER 20 :
I mean, they’re both very silly, but yes. All right, I’ll go with one that’s a little less known but still funny. Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Oh, gosh. It’s a mere flesh wound. You have no legs.
SPEAKER 15 :
I think that that is one of the most brilliant movies that’s ever made. I think I actually have that. Just a sec here.
SPEAKER 25 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 15 :
I am struggling. Sorry, I’ve got so many.
SPEAKER 25 :
Riveting radio.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, if I don’t get it right away, here it is. I do. Here we go.
SPEAKER 22 :
Now stand aside, worthy adversary. Tis but a scratch. A scratch? Cut his arm. Your arm’s off. No, it isn’t. Well, what’s that then?
SPEAKER 04 :
I’ve heard worse. You liar. Come on, you pansy.
SPEAKER 22 :
Victory is mine. cut off his other arm we thank thee lord that in thy mind come on then what how about you you are indeed brave tonight but the fight is mine oh and enough eh john cleese that’s hilarious he was so funny he winds up cutting off both arms and both legs
SPEAKER 15 :
Very funny.
SPEAKER 25 :
That’s hilarious. All right, John, you’re up. Let’s see here. Just because of, I hadn’t had this one on my list, but I just thought of it as Andy was playing Pet Detective. That’s fun with Dick and Jane.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 25 :
Some of the funniest parts of that is where the kid, he’s got the housekeeper that’s Spanish, and he speaks Spanish, but he’s supposed to be speaking English, and they come and they repossess everything, including the lawn, and it’s just hilarious.
SPEAKER 20 :
It’s been so many years. Where are you taking my television?
SPEAKER 25 :
Because you’re repoing everything. It’s basically a takeoff of Enron, right? Yeah. And he’s supposed to be the spokesman for Enron. Well, the whole company is dumping, and now he’s the spokesman for it. Okay. It’s hilarious. It’s been so many years. Oh, it’s hilarious. I watched it the other day. It’s pretty funny. All right, let’s get Joe in here before we go another round. Go ahead, Joe.
SPEAKER 10 :
All right, I’ve got an old one and a new one. The old one is An Inconvenient Truth with Al Gore. Oh, yes. That’s one of the funniest. But the newest one, I didn’t realize it was a comedy until I started watching it, was The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard with Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds and Selma Hayek. I didn’t realize it was supposed to be a comedy until I was about 15 minutes into it. Oh, yeah. That’s a good movie, by the way. Yeah. Which one did you like better, the original Hitman’s Bodyguard or the… Oh, the first. The first one, yeah. Yeah. The first one had a little more serious plot to it. It was still funny. But just pure stupidity.
SPEAKER 25 :
Yeah, I agree.
SPEAKER 10 :
And I thought they had great chemistry, too.
SPEAKER 25 :
No, that good one, Joe. All right, man. All right, guys. Appreciate you very much.
SPEAKER 15 :
All right, Andy, you’re up. Okay. I know I’ve done these before, but I just love the ads from Talladega Nights. Here we go. Yeah, those are funny.
SPEAKER 12 :
Fire Safety Week is right around the corner, and here are a few important tips you might want to listen to.
SPEAKER 14 :
Wrapping your kids a newspaper at bedtime sounds like a good idea. Keeps them warm. But guess what? That stuff’s flammable.
SPEAKER 12 :
Hey, we’ve all run around with an empty milk jug full of gasoline and lit it in an open field. But make sure there’s a parent close by.
SPEAKER 14 :
What’s better than a nap? A nap with a cigarette. I know. I’d do it. If you’re going to sleep in bed, make it a hammock. So if it lights on fire, you fall down and wake up. We’ve all wondered what gasoline tastes like. Don’t drink it. Fire safety begins in your brain at home. Shoplifting’s fun. We’ve all done it. But if you’re going to steal fireworks, forget it. When them Chinese folks wrote on that label, light fuse and run away, they meant it. Get the heck out of there. Remember, stealing’s not good, but if you’re going to do it, don’t steal fireworks.
SPEAKER 12 :
That’s hilarious.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s the law. I’m sorry. That was very funny. That’s hilarious. Okay, Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 20 :
All right. In the theme of Jim Carrey, Dad, I don’t think we’ve done this one in a while, but Liar Liar is a classic.
SPEAKER 25 :
In your bra. I do not have a clip. So funny.
SPEAKER 15 :
I think it was his most consistently funny movie.
SPEAKER 25 :
Yeah, one of the funniest episodes in that whole movie, I still think, or scenes in that whole movie, is when he’s in the bathroom beating himself up.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, yeah. I’ve played that a lot.
SPEAKER 25 :
It’s just hilarious.
SPEAKER 15 :
I’m kicking my own ass.
SPEAKER 25 :
it’s just hilarious oh yeah hilarious all right um i guess i’m next how about uh let’s see i already did that one hang on i gotta i got some duplicates here um hangover
SPEAKER 15 :
That was a funny movie.
SPEAKER 25 :
Don’t watch the sequel. Yeah, the sequel’s awful, but the first one’s hilarious.
SPEAKER 15 :
Right, exactly.
SPEAKER 25 :
Mike Tyson’s tiger. I mean, the whole thing is just hilarious. All right, let’s do this. John and Cheyenne, you’re next. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 17 :
Hey, let’s go a little old school since then I won’t steal anybody’s. How about The Odd Couple?
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, yeah, that works. Matthau and… Jack Lemmon. Jack Lemmon, that’s right.
SPEAKER 25 :
Yeah, that helps.
SPEAKER 15 :
I always think Tony Randall. That’s what throws me off.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, because that was Stevie. But if you want to go back a little further with Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis, how about Some Like It Hot? Oh, yeah. That is hilarious. Did that have Marilyn in it? Yeah, and you don’t realize how funny she was. Until you see that, but she had some comedic chops.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, yeah. Marilyn Monroe was pretty funny. Everybody just thought about her figure, and it’s just like, actually, she was a pretty funny actress.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yes. And the last one I got, and this one is a lot of people forget about, but it’s the first Mel Brooks movie, and that would be The Producers.
SPEAKER 26 :
Hmm.
SPEAKER 17 :
The original with Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder, not the remake. Remake, no good. Yeah, I saw it.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s just been so long.
SPEAKER 17 :
Oh, it’s hilarious. I mean, any movie with Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks, you know, is always going to give you a good laugh. But this one is surprisingly funny. And it’s never, you know, they bring up the other Mel Brooks ones, which I’m sure some people are going to bring up today. They never bring that one up. Okay, that’s good. Worth the watch, guys, if you’re looking for something to laugh.
SPEAKER 25 :
Awesome.
SPEAKER 17 :
All right, have a great day.
SPEAKER 25 :
John, thanks. Appreciate it. All right, Andy, you’re up.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay, Richard won’t forgive me if I don’t do this movie, so here we go. Let’s listen to a little music.
SPEAKER 06 :
I’m the smartest, most clever, most physically fit. But nobody else seems to realize it. When I change the world, maybe they’ll notice me. And until then, I’ll just be Ronery. Yeah, Riddle Ronery. Paul Riddle me.
SPEAKER 15 :
Team America. Still the hardest my wife has ever seen me laugh in a theater.
SPEAKER 25 :
It’s pretty funny, I will say that.
SPEAKER 15 :
I literally at one point… Fell out of my chair.
SPEAKER 25 :
It’s funny. I was laughing so hard. So wrong, but it’s so funny.
SPEAKER 15 :
So wrong, so funny. Richard, did you laugh a lot at that one, or were you ashamed to watch it?
SPEAKER 20 :
I just knew I was going to go back to North Korea at some point, so I couldn’t even bring myself to finish it.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, I just know that your father has instilled a lot of shame in you throughout your childhood. And so watching that kind of movie… You were ronery. So ronery. Okay, you’re up, sir.
SPEAKER 20 :
All right, we’ll go back to, I think this is Gene Wilder, right, with Blazing Saddles?
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, yes.
SPEAKER 25 :
Yes. Badges. We don’t need no stinking badges. No stinking badges.
SPEAKER 15 :
There are so many funny parts of that. And by the way, that’s not one where you can quote a lot on the radio.
SPEAKER 25 :
No, you’ve got to be careful on that one. It is funny, though.
SPEAKER 15 :
I wonder, could that kind of humor, I still don’t think our culture, even with Trump, has come back to the point where that movie could be played.
SPEAKER 25 :
We might get there pretty soon. It’s hard to say.
SPEAKER 15 :
I mean, we’re moving that direction. We’re gaining. Yeah, we’re gaining.
SPEAKER 25 :
We’re gaining traction, so you never know.
SPEAKER 15 :
Such a great movie.
SPEAKER 25 :
You never know.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay, John, go ahead.
SPEAKER 25 :
Okay, I’m going to go again. Some of these that we maybe haven’t thought of for a while. How about Horrible Bosses?
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 25 :
I watched it the other day. It’s funny.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, did you?
SPEAKER 25 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, I got to go to a little bit of, yes, it’s Austin Powers, but I want to do a character we do less, and that’s Fat Bastard. Here we go.
SPEAKER 22 :
I’m going to eat you. I’m bigger than you. I’m higher in the food chain. Get in my belly. Come on. You’re lucky, wee man. Can I have a hug?
SPEAKER 21 :
Can I have a hug? Dr. Evil. Let me make you a deal, all right? You get the motor, you keep your money, and I’ll get your baby. Smacks his lips. Right. I want my baby back, baby back, baby back, baby back, baby back, baby back. I want my baby back, baby back, baby back, baby back, baby back, baby back, baby back. Excuse me.
SPEAKER 15 :
Julie.
SPEAKER 20 :
Julie.
SPEAKER 25 :
The funniest thing of the whole thing is that’s Mike Myers doing all of those.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, gosh.
SPEAKER 25 :
It’s just hilarious.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, it’s like Eddie Murphy in Coming to America. You’re just watching somebody with such incredible talent.
SPEAKER 25 :
Unbelievable.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, my gosh.
SPEAKER 25 :
To do all of that was hilarious. Fantastic. Richard.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yes, Andy. One of my favorite movies of all time. And my dad, he didn’t love me, so he wouldn’t let me watch it. I understand. But he knows I’m lying. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.
SPEAKER 25 :
Oh, hilarious. Yes. That’s funny. Yes, it was. That’s funny.
SPEAKER 15 :
I like the cat, but that’s just me. Go ahead. All right.
SPEAKER 25 :
Wedding Crashers.
SPEAKER 26 :
Oh, yes.
SPEAKER 15 :
Wedding Crashers. That was pretty funny. It is funny. Let’s do just a little piece of Where the Millers Were. They’re singing, and the sun suddenly gets into a song. Now, come on.
SPEAKER 35 :
I’ve seen a rainbow yesterday, but too many storms have come and gone. Leaving a trace of not what God given. Is it because my life in ten shades of gray? I pray all ten fade away, seldom praising for the sunny day. You claim the insane, but name this place in time for fall and pray to crime. I swear the system got you victim to your own mind. Dreams are hopeless aspirations in hopes of coming true. Believe in yourself, the rest is up to me. And don’t go chasing worms. That’s hilarious.
SPEAKER 15 :
That whole movie is hilarious. He was such an idiot. He’s a good actor, by the way.
SPEAKER 25 :
He was funny.
SPEAKER 15 :
He was a really good young actor. I like him a lot, and he was hilarious.
SPEAKER 25 :
The funniest thing is the fake baby. Oh, God. That they’re carrying around acting like they’ve got a kid.
SPEAKER 15 :
I know.
SPEAKER 25 :
And they don’t.
SPEAKER 15 :
There are so many wrong parts of that movie.
SPEAKER 25 :
It’s so funny, though.
SPEAKER 15 :
And that’s another movie that’s just wrong.
SPEAKER 25 :
The whole thing is wrong, but it’s hilarious.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay, Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 20 :
I’m going to go back to your people’s era here. That far? I think it’s pretty funny. I know Andy. Is it a talkie? Good morning, Vietnam.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, yes. I didn’t do that because the movie is also so serious, but you’re totally right. It was Robin Williams’ stand-up, and he was brilliant.
SPEAKER 25 :
Yeah, good one. Yeah, that one counts. Good job.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, yeah, all the way.
SPEAKER 25 :
Good job. Okay, I know I say it a lot, but it’s still one of the funniest movies. It’s so wrong, but it’s so funny, and that is Ted.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, Ted. The talking bear.
SPEAKER 25 :
It’s just so wrong on all levels.
SPEAKER 15 :
Here’s just a little scene. They’re all the same, but here we go.
SPEAKER 16 :
No way, that’s awesome. What’s the name? White Trash Name, yes. Mandy. Nope. Marilyn. Nope. Brittany. Nope. Tiffany. Nope. Candace. All right, speed round. I’m going to rattle off some names, and when I hit it, buzz it, okay? I will tell you. You got me? Yeah. All right, Brandy, Heather, Channing, Brianna, Amber, Sabrina, Melody, Dakota, Sierra, Bambi, Crystal, Samantha, Autumn, Ruby, Taylor, Tara, Tammy, Lauren, Charlene, Chantel, Courtney, Misty, Jenny, Krista, Mindy, Noelle, Shelby, Trina, Reba, Cassandra, Nikki, Kelsey, Shauna, Jolene, Earlene, Claudine, Savannah, Casey, Dolly, Kendra, Collie, Chloe, Devin, Emmalute, Becky? Nope. Was it any one of those names with a Lynn after it? Yes. I got you. Okay. Brandy Lynn. Heather Lynn. Tammy Lynn.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s so bad. Why trash names? It’s so wrong. Any of those names with Lynn after it? It’s so wrong. Oh, my word. Very funny.
SPEAKER 20 :
Richard, you’re up. Oh, you people are bad. That’s okay. Oh, let’s see here. The Blues Brothers. Oh, yes.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, that counts. Oh, let’s see here.
SPEAKER 20 :
Don’t you, don’t, yeah.
SPEAKER 15 :
Go ahead, I’m sorry.
SPEAKER 20 :
No, I was going to say, isn’t that a Drive Radio quote there?
SPEAKER 25 :
Yes, there is, absolutely.
SPEAKER 15 :
There is, and I thought I had a clip, but I can’t seem to find it. Doggone it. That’s all right. Oh, well, anyway. Oh, yeah, here we go. It’s a real short one, real short. Here we go.
SPEAKER 17 :
What kind of music do you usually have here?
SPEAKER 30 :
Oh, we got both kinds. We got country and western.
SPEAKER 36 :
Jake, are you sure this is the place?
SPEAKER 25 :
We’ve got country and western.
SPEAKER 15 :
That was a funny movie.
SPEAKER 25 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 15 :
But I played so many clips from it.
SPEAKER 25 :
Okay, another movie that’s just wrong, but it’s so funny on so many levels. Serious but funny. Why him?
SPEAKER 15 :
Why him?
SPEAKER 25 :
You’ve never seen that?
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, yes, yes, yes. The guy marrying the guy’s daughter.
SPEAKER 25 :
Yes, and he’s the big gamer producer.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER 25 :
He’s just way out there. But Cranston is the dad. It’s hilarious.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, gosh, he’s in a horror movie, actually, that just came out right now. Franco, right? James Franco. Yeah, James Franco. All right, let’s just do a little bit of, or are we going to break?
SPEAKER 25 :
No, go ahead. We’re fine. Oh, you know what? Never mind. We should go to break. Yes.
SPEAKER 15 :
Hang tight.
SPEAKER 25 :
We’ll come right back. We’ll take a break. Al Smith is up next in an interview of late. We’ll come back right after that. Find Al at klzradio.com.
SPEAKER 08 :
TJ here with KLZ Radio, and I’ve got Al Smith with me once again. How are you, Al? I’m doing great. How are you, TJ? Doing pretty good. We’ve been talking about retirement and all that kind of stuff, and I was just curious, what do you usually talk about with the folks that come in for retirement planning? What does that mean?
SPEAKER 33 :
Well, if somebody’s close to that transition where they’re thinking about their 401k and where do you want to allocate that, where’s the best place to have that invested? And some people who were fortunate enough to have a pension will have a conversation about that, especially if it comes to selecting a survivorship option.
SPEAKER 08 :
And how does that fit with life insurance and that kind of thing, with pensions and life insurance?
SPEAKER 33 :
If someone takes a big reduction in their pension, that’s what they need to do in order to have a spouse collect part of their pension should they pass on. But that reduction in their pension will only benefit them if the primary worker dies before the spouse. Sometimes people choose life insurance instead. which may not provide quite as much financial benefit, but there’s a certainty that the money will stay in their family.
SPEAKER 08 :
And is that always a good idea to do, or how do you help folks make that decision?
SPEAKER 33 :
Well, it’s kind of a long conversation to some degree, because if someone has health concerns, then selecting that survivorship option is always a good idea, because it makes it much more likely that your spouse will collect that survivor benefit. On the other hand, sometimes the other spouse may be anticipating an inheritance.
SPEAKER 08 :
That is amazing and complicated, and that’s why I lean on you to learn all about the retirement process. Al, thanks so much for joining us today. Well, you’re welcome. Tell folks how to get in touch with you.
SPEAKER 33 :
You can reach me at my office, 303-744-1128. If you get voicemail, I return those very quickly.
SPEAKER 25 :
Live and local, back to Rush to Reason. All right, we are back, Rush to Reason. Myself, Andy, Richard, we’re going through favorite comedies. Andy, you’re up.
SPEAKER 15 :
All righty, let’s just do a little bit of Leslie Nielsen from Naked Gun.
SPEAKER 04 :
Who’s obsessed? Just because you backed out on the wedding two years ago, I’d forgotten all about it. Ancient history, like the Democratic Party. Frank. He was in tears, in church, crying like a baby. Frank, get a hold of yourself. I had to return 13 Cuisinarts. That’s enough, Frank. Really? Kept the salad shooter, though.
SPEAKER 30 :
He’s Caucasian.
SPEAKER 04 :
Caucasian?
SPEAKER 30 :
Yeah, you know, a white guy. With a mustache, about six foot three.
SPEAKER 04 :
An awfully big mustache. Lieutenant Frank Driven, police squad, this is my captain, Ed Hockham.
SPEAKER 01 :
Is this some kind of bust?
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, it’s very impressive, yes, but we need to ask you a few questions.
SPEAKER 01 :
Do you realize that because of you, this city is being overrun by baboons?
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, isn’t that the fault of the voters? I don’t recall seeing your name on the guest list. Nothing to be embarrassed about. I sometimes go by my maiden name.
SPEAKER 25 :
So stupid.
SPEAKER 15 :
But listen, his delivery, though.
SPEAKER 25 :
I know.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s so good. It is so good.
SPEAKER 25 :
It’s just natural.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, I know. Richard, you’re up. Did you see the new one, Andy? Yeah.
SPEAKER 25 :
He reviewed it today.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, I gave it a good score. Not quite as fresh and good as the old ones, but good. Three and a half.
SPEAKER 20 :
Shocking, Andy. Critical. Critical, Andy. Critical.
SPEAKER 15 :
Honestly, and Richard, you know, Richard, I want you to go to it, and I want to see if you agree with this. I’m just going to tell you right now. The first two-thirds of the movie is lights out hilarious. The last third really slows down. So you tell me after you see it. All right, go ahead. You’re up.
SPEAKER 20 :
Fair enough. Okay, I will. All right. Oh, you just made me think of it. Well, I guess it’s similar to Naked Gun, but not the same. Pink Panther.
SPEAKER 25 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 25 :
It’s on my list. Now, you’re thinking of the new one with Steve Martin.
SPEAKER 20 :
No, I’m thinking of the one with, isn’t that Leslie? Isn’t that Nielsen?
SPEAKER 15 :
No.
SPEAKER 20 :
No. Who is the other Pink Panther? Pink Panther.
SPEAKER 15 :
What, going way back? The old guy. So, dude, what’s his name? Oh, I’m totally spacing his name. Peter Sellers, I believe. Yeah, that’s right. Peter Sellers. You’re right.
SPEAKER 20 :
That’s right. Yeah, Peter Sellers. So fantastic.
SPEAKER 15 :
Wow, you saw the Pink Panthers with Peter Sellers? I love those. I didn’t know you’ve seen them.
SPEAKER 20 :
Does your dog bite? My dad will appreciate this one. It was thanks to his mom. There you go. Well, they’re classics.
SPEAKER 25 :
Oh, they’re hilarious.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, okay.
SPEAKER 25 :
Absolutely. Go ahead, John. Let’s see here. How about, I’ve got two of these, but Dirty Grandpa. So bad. But it’s hilarious.
SPEAKER 15 :
Definitely.
SPEAKER 25 :
It is hilarious.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay, let’s go with Steve Martin. And this time in Little Shop of Horrors, he was an evil dentist. And here he is singing Be a Dentist.
SPEAKER 23 :
I’m not. No. Shut up. Open wide. Here I come. I am your dentist. And I enjoy the career that I pick. I’m your dentist. And I get off on the pain. I thrill when I drill a bicuspid. It’s swell, though they tell me I’m maladjusted. And though it may cause my patience distress… Somewhere, somewhere in heaven above me, I know, I know that my mama’s proud of me.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, mama? He’s got a shrine to his mom.
SPEAKER 25 :
Now, didn’t that one have, like, this… Man-eating plant. Yeah, and this forever following where they played that in certain movies or certain theaters, like, ongoing. They did it a lot. Okay. Like, a whole following, right? Yeah.
SPEAKER 15 :
It did have a cult following. It starred Rick Moranis and Ellen Green. Oh, you’re thinking Rocky Horror Picture Show.
SPEAKER 25 :
That’s the one that had a cult following.
SPEAKER 15 :
Where they say, a toast, a toast, and people throw toasts in the air.
SPEAKER 25 :
Yeah, gotcha.
SPEAKER 15 :
Hey, those audience participation ones are a lot of fun, too. But no, this was actually a sleeper hit and did very well. It was a musical. It was written by the same guys who did the music for Little Mermaid. Oh. Yeah. I didn’t know that. They actually wrote this before they wrote Little Mermaid, so there you go.
SPEAKER 25 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 15 :
All right, Richard, you are up.
SPEAKER 20 :
All right, Andy, you have to have seen this one. If not, I’m going to be very upset with you.
SPEAKER 15 :
I’ve never seen it.
SPEAKER 20 :
And then it’s Super Troopers. Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 15 :
Canadian. Okay. That’s a funny movie.
SPEAKER 25 :
Okay, you just made me think of one. You just made me think of one that’s really funny.
SPEAKER 15 :
By the way, that movie’s wrong, too. Go ahead, John.
SPEAKER 25 :
This one’s not so wrong. Actually, most anybody can watch this one. Canadian Bacon, John Candy.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 25 :
That’s funny. I can always watch John Cannon. The Canadian thing just made me think of that one. The other John and Cheyenne. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 28 :
Yeah, I got three movies that are overlooked, which are my most favorite movie comedies. Okay. And the first one is, believe it or not, Sylvester Stallone. He was born for this role, and he didn’t have to do any acting. He just had to play himself. It’s called Oscar. Oh, I saw it. He snaps his fingers all the time.
SPEAKER 26 :
Yeah. Okay.
SPEAKER 28 :
It’s a hilarious movie. His accent is just perfect. Okay. Okay. It’s a real funny one. The second one is Gene Wilder, Madeline Kahn, and Marty Feldman in Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brothers.
SPEAKER 25 :
Oh, yeah. I haven’t seen that forever. You’ve heard of that one? I haven’t seen it for a long time.
SPEAKER 28 :
It’s a great classic. I love Feldman.
SPEAKER 15 :
Love Feldman.
SPEAKER 28 :
And the third one is a real favorite that a lot of people will look. It’s Bill Murray, The Man Who Knew Too Little. Yeah. I’ve seen these. Yeah, Bill Murray’s a mistaken for a top spy assassin. Mm-hmm. He’s just a lonely video store man. It’s a real long story, but it’s pretty funny.
SPEAKER 15 :
I don’t know anyone who delivers a one-liner better than Bill Murray.
SPEAKER 25 :
No. Him and Chevy Chase together, pretty tough to beat.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, those two, wow.
SPEAKER 28 :
Just wow. And those three films, I highly recommend, and you won’t be sorry.
SPEAKER 25 :
No, good one. Good one, John. All right, appreciate you, John. Andy, you’re up. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay, I got a lot more clips. We don’t have time. We got to start going rapid fire. But I just want to say, you know how sometimes I see a movie and I say, the critics are wrong on this.
SPEAKER 25 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 15 :
And you’ve got to go with the audience score. This is one. This movie got 41% from the critics, 90% from audiences, Tommy Boy.
SPEAKER 25 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 15 :
Would you agree with the audiences? That is one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen, and that’s a movie where I don’t know if I’ve ever seen my wife laugh that hard. Between that and Good Boys, she just about lost her life laughing at those. All right, Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 20 :
Richard. All right, speaking of John Candy, Dad, from last time, Uncle Buck.
SPEAKER 25 :
Oh, yes, I was just thinking the same thing. Great show.
SPEAKER 20 :
That was a fun movie.
SPEAKER 25 :
Great movie. Yep.
SPEAKER 20 :
Such a fun movie.
SPEAKER 25 :
Go, John. Because of Chevy Chase, I’m mentioning it a moment ago, Fletch.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, yeah. He did a great job in that.
SPEAKER 25 :
That’s hilarious.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay, I’ve got to mention one that our good friend Dave from the Springs loves, Galaxy Quest. It is hilarious. Yeah. The spoof on Star Trek. Go ahead, Richard.
SPEAKER 20 :
Oh, let’s see here. Andy, you said Galaxy Quest?
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 20 :
Because I was going to go with the other one, but I will hold off on that one. Okay. All right. I’ll go with Billy Madison because Adam Sandler is just… I love Adam Sandler.
SPEAKER 15 :
Back to school. Back to school.
SPEAKER 25 :
Go ahead, John. I’m going to name one. I’m surprised Andy hasn’t yet because he loved this movie when it came out, Tagged.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, I did.
SPEAKER 25 :
Great movie.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, there’s just so many. I’ve got over 100 titles here. Okay, I’ve got to mention one that I’ve never mentioned before. It is super gross at times. A Scout’s Guide to the Apocalypse.
SPEAKER 25 :
Never seen it.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s a zombie comedy. Never seen it. Oh, it is so wrong. Once again, my wife was in tears at certain points. So there you go, Richard.
SPEAKER 20 :
You’re up. Let’s see here. The Three Amigos.
SPEAKER 15 :
Anything with Steve Martin.
SPEAKER 20 :
I’m there. Exactly. I’m with you. I’m with you, Andy. Okay, go ahead, John. And you combine him with Martin Short and Chevy Chase, and it’s a hit.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yep. Game night. Game night was fun. I enjoyed that. Okay, I’m going to go way back before anything you guys have even seen. A movie called The Philadelphia Story, which, by the way, won awards with Katharine Hepburn. And it was Cary Grant. Very funny. Very funny. Okay, Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 20 :
Office space.
SPEAKER 15 :
Office space is great. So great. Okay, John, you’re up.
SPEAKER 25 :
I don’t know if I ever saw that one. How about 21 Jump Street?
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, my gosh. I literally, my pen was on it. I was going to say 21 Jump Street. I stole it. You stole it from me. How dare you? Okay, in that case, I’m going to just throw Steve Martin movies at you the rest of the way. I’m going with All of Me by Steve Martin with Lily Tomlin. Hilarious.
SPEAKER 25 :
Yeah, it was okay.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, it was a funny movie. Go ahead, Richard.
SPEAKER 25 :
Oh, we lost Richard for a moment.
SPEAKER 15 :
He’s been taken over.
SPEAKER 25 :
He’s taking care of the munchkins at the moment. John, you’re up. I’ll roll here. How about Hall Pass? Hall Pass. Okay, how about Airplane? Oh, that’s on the list, and the listener actually mentioned that one as well. So Airplane counts, yes. Go ahead. Oh, is that Richard? He’s back.

SPEAKER 36 :
Michael Bailey, the mobile estate planner, has the key to wisely protecting your college-aged kids. Think about it. If your kiddo goes off to college and gets hurt, the hospital won’t let you make decisions for them because at age 18 and above, they are technically an adult. What if they’re unconscious? Will a doctor let you make health care decisions for an adult and stay informed about their medical condition? No. Before they’re 18, it’s a given. You can make those decisions. But after 18, there is typically no spouse or someone already approved to legally make those crucial decisions. Michael Bailey can help make short work of a general medical or financial power of attorney for your college goer in one easy appointment. He’s got the experience and knowledge to ensure that whatever happens, you can still be a dedicated parent to your kids. Find him on the klzradio.com advertisers page. and protect your kids by getting your power of attorney appointment set up today.
