Join guest host Andy Pate on ‘Rush to Reason’ as we dive into an exciting hour of NFL predictions filled with insightful analyses and humorous banter. Alongside Luke Cash and Tanner Cole, Andy discusses the dynamics of the week’s games, contemplating whether the Rams or Jaguars have the edge, and considering the potential outcomes for the Patriots and Titans after their respective management reshuffles. Expect lively debates concerning the Raiders’ chances of victory against the surging Chiefs and whether the Eagles can overcome their recent setbacks against the Vikings. With a keen sense of humor, Andy and his co-hosts
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. With your host, John Rush. My advice to you is to do what your parents did! Get a job, Turk! You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same, and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 01 :
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 03 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
SPEAKER 14 :
It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush. Presented by Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning.
SPEAKER 21 :
Filling in is Andy Pate, party of choice. And welcome to hour number two here on Rush to Reason. I’m Andy Pate. Filling in for John Rush, along with two man among men, we’ve got Luke Cash and Tanner Cole. Well, way to go, man.
SPEAKER 08 :
Way to go. You did it, dude. I’m so proud of you. The fact that you screwed up the second word almost made me spit this drink out everywhere.
SPEAKER 21 :
Well, I try usually to screw up every word.
SPEAKER 08 :
Welcome black.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, welcome black. Welcome black.
SPEAKER 08 :
I have nothing.
SPEAKER 21 :
I have nothing. I have nothing. I got nothing. I’m old. That’s all I got. Okay, here we go. Tanner, are you ready for some NFL picks? I’m ready for some NFL picks. Okay, here we go. Hit that music. All right, we’re going to open up with game number one is the Rams are favored by two and a half over the Jaguars. Two teams looking to go five and two. Who has the edge?
SPEAKER 08 :
I think the Jags are the biggest fake team in the NFL. Travis Hunter is not that great yet. We’ll see. Brian Thomas can’t get the ball. I’m taking Rams with the points, even though Puka’s not playing.
SPEAKER 21 :
Okay. Boy, I’m not sure of this one.
SPEAKER 08 :
Jags have a great defense, but…
SPEAKER 21 :
They do. Both teams have a defense. You know what? I was going with the Rams, but I wanted to be different on one, so I’m going to take the Jaguars instead of the Rams. Okay, next game. The Saints are on the road at the Bears, and the Bears favored by 4.5. Here’s my question. Is the point spread too low? I mean, aren’t the Bears 3-2 with a lot of young talent?
SPEAKER 08 :
And they’d just be the commanders who went to the NFC Championship game. The Saints are looking for the number one pick, even though there’s not really a clear number one pick to take right now. I know.
SPEAKER 21 :
It looked like it was going to be Arch Manning. No, we don’t know. But another Manning in New Orleans would be kind of cool.
SPEAKER 08 :
It would be. I’m taking the Bears.
SPEAKER 21 :
We’ll both take the Bears. Okay, next game, Ugly Bowl. Are you ready for the Ugly Bowl? Okay, the Miami Dolphins, they’re on the road at the Cleveland Browns, who for once are favored by two and a half points. Two ugly teams on a road to nowhere. They’re going to play a game for some reason. Okay, we have no idea. Why are they playing?
SPEAKER 08 :
I don’t know. I can’t believe Cleveland seems to almost sell out games. It’s unbelievable. I don’t know how the Browns are favored. Dylan Gabriel just throws checkdowns all game, so if you just cover that, I think it’ll be quick. McDaniel’s on the hottest seat of seats, so I think the Dolphins win.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, I’m not confident either way. You know what? I’m going to take the Browns just to be different. Okay, next game. I don’t think this looks too good. The Patriots are favored by 6.5 over the Titans. New England, they just upset Buffalo, and the Titans already fired their coach. Can the Titans fight for pride?
SPEAKER 08 :
Sometimes when a coach gets fired, the team gets low motivation. The interim gets the locker room back on track. I think the Titans won’t win, but I think they might cover the spread, so I still have the Pats.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, I agree. These games coming off when a coach gets fired, you have no idea what to expect. And I don’t know what to expect, but I’ll take the Patriots. Okay, next game, the Raiders. Okay, they’re playing the Chiefs. Chiefs are favored big at home, 12.5 points last I saw.
SPEAKER 17 :
Right.
SPEAKER 21 :
After a surprisingly easy win over Detroit, are the Chiefs starting to build momentum?
SPEAKER 08 :
Unfortunately, I think they are. I think it’s Rasheed Rice’s first game back. I was kind of shocked with 12.5, but when you have Geno Smith as quarterback, you have no idea what could happen. He could throw for 303 touchdowns, or he’ll do what he’s been doing all season, throw three interceptions.
SPEAKER 21 :
You have no idea.
SPEAKER 08 :
So I think the Chiefs are going to win. I don’t like the spread. The only way the Raiders win is if Patrick Mahomes loses his right arm.
SPEAKER 21 :
Okay, quick question, though. This is the first year for Ashton Genting. He is doing a lot with no holes. Okay, so here’s my question. As they build an actual team over the next two years, is he going to become the next Saquon Barkley? Is he a real threat?
SPEAKER 08 :
I don’t see how he doesn’t. He is great. I watched most of the Raiders games just because of him, and if they actually had an offensive line, Genting would be the best running back in the league already. I mean, some of the plays he makes for five yards, chugging out three defenders is unbelievable.
SPEAKER 21 :
Okay, last question, and we’ll go to the next game. If you’re the Raiders GM, are you picking offensive line, first round, maybe first, second round?
SPEAKER 08 :
I think so. They’re also going to be in probably that 10 to 15 range, maybe even higher. Get a stud. Yeah, get a Joe Walt.
SPEAKER 21 :
Okay, there you go. All right, next game. Maybe the game of the week, one of the really good ones. The Eagles are favored by one and a half at the Vikings. Now, Philly is in free fall.
SPEAKER 08 :
Right.
SPEAKER 21 :
Can they bounce back on the road against a tough Vikings team?
SPEAKER 08 :
Do we know if JJ’s playing?
SPEAKER 21 :
I don’t believe he is.
SPEAKER 08 :
So Carson Wentz is back at the helm.
SPEAKER 21 :
I think it’s going to be Carson. I’m not sure of that. I think so.
SPEAKER 08 :
I think losing two in a row is going to ignite the Eagles a little bit. They’ve had these problems before. The receivers get upset. Jalen Hurts, everyone starts bagging on him. But, I mean, they had that bad year. Then the next year they went and won the Super Bowl. So I think they’re good enough to be able to turn it around and win this weekend.
SPEAKER 21 :
You know, I just don’t know, but I’m going to take the Eagles too. I just think the Vikings, until they get J.J. back and comfortable again, I don’t think they’re the team. Okay, next team. Next game. Sorry, the Panthers. Carolina Panthers are favored. They’re favored. By one and a half against the 0-6 J-E-T-S Jets, Jets, Jets. Jets are 0-6. Can we stop blaming last year’s Jets team on Aaron Rodgers?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yes, they have talent everywhere you look. They just can never figure out a quarterback, and they screw themselves over every chance they get, no matter what it is. They’ve been in close games, and they did something stupid, whether it was on special teams or what they did against the Broncos, just let the half end. I mean, there’s a million things you could say about the Jets.
SPEAKER 21 :
They’re awful.
SPEAKER 08 :
The Panthers, though, are kind of hot right now.
SPEAKER 21 :
They’re picking it up, and I think you’re going to pick the Panthers, aren’t you?
SPEAKER 08 :
Bryce Young’s looked a lot better, 100%.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, so my quick question here, how about Rodgers? Okay, I mean, yeah, they lost last night to Cincy, but that’s because, let’s face it, Pittsburgh sucks. They don’t have that good of a team.
SPEAKER 15 :
No.
SPEAKER 21 :
And they’re like 4-2 with a bad team, and he scored 31. You can’t blame him.
SPEAKER 08 :
Everyone was bagging Mike Tomlin for barely beating the Jets. Look at him now. He just is a great coach and knows how to get a W and the job done.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yep. Okay, next game, Giants. New York Giants are here at the Denver Broncos. Broncos favored by 7.5. Hey, the Giants are rallying around Jackson Dart, but will he get destroyed by the league’s best defense?
SPEAKER 08 :
I think Scadaboo might run over a couple Broncos this weekend. I think the Broncos will win, but I think it will be a closer game than anyone here wants to believe.
SPEAKER 21 :
Well, you know, I’m predicting a Bronco rout in this one, but I’ve got to be honest. I was predicting that last week, and they barely won.
SPEAKER 08 :
So we’ll see. Even though the Giants are missing the league neighbors, I love that team. Jackson Dart has installed some confidence and swagger that they haven’t had in decades.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, but they don’t have neighbors. Here’s my prediction. Nobody is going to be open all game long. He’s going to have nowhere to go with the ball. He’s going to get dropped for a million sacks. He is a good runner. Yeah, he is, but not that good.
SPEAKER 08 :
200 rush yards.
SPEAKER 21 :
Okay, next game, the Colts are on the road at your Chargers. Now, are the Chargers healthy enough to hang with a surprising Colts team?
SPEAKER 08 :
We have no running back. I’m pretty sure Joe Waltz is still out. Sean Slater won’t be coming back. I think we do have Makai Becton left, but we barely beat the Dolphins, so I’m all over the Colts. That’s my pick of the week.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, me too. I’m taking the Colts. Commanders are favored by one and a half at the Cowboys. This is looking like an ugly game. With Jaden Daniels back in charge, can Washington start to matter again? Or are they just average?
SPEAKER 08 :
There’s no Terry McLaurin again this weekend. The Cowboys’ defense, though, is so bad. They let every team run right. I mean, the Panthers beat them, scored 30. So I’m going to take the Commanders still, but no Terry definitely makes it a little difficult for them, only having Devo and Luke McCaffrey and Zach Ertz. So I’m going to take the Commanders still.
SPEAKER 21 :
But does it matter who you have when they’re all open?
SPEAKER 08 :
Exactly.
SPEAKER 21 :
Exactly. I’ll take the Commanders, too. Okay, next game, my Packers are favored by six and a half over the Cardinals. Look, I don’t get this. Green Bay can’t block, can’t rush the passer. They can’t stop anyone in the second half. But is Arizona too injured?
SPEAKER 08 :
I think so, and I just don’t see it from Kyler Murray. I don’t think he’s taking that next step at all. I think the Packers are going to win. I don’t know about a six and a half.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, I don’t either. I don’t even know if they’re going to win.
SPEAKER 08 :
I think it might be a 23-20 or something like that.
SPEAKER 21 :
Look, the Packers have a lot to figure out. Right now, these are two sub-average teams, in my opinion. And we’ll just see what happens.
SPEAKER 08 :
I think just give Matthew Golden the ball. When he touches it, he’s looked amazing. Yeah, he has. Three catches, 86 yards. What else? And a couple runs. Yeah.
SPEAKER 21 :
Well, he runs almost a 4.2. Right. All right, here we go. Up next is one of my sleeper teams. The Falcons are on the road at the 49ers. Niners are favored by 2.5. Let me ask you this. After running over the Bills, can the physical Falcons upset the Niners in San Fran?
SPEAKER 08 :
I think the Niners are one of the best coached teams. You see every year their best players get injured, and they are still relevant in most games. The Falcons did lose a couple weeks ago to the Panthers, but I think that’s behind them, hopefully. I have the Falcons winning this, even though George Kittle’s back. I think if Penix holds on to the ball, doesn’t fumble or throws an interception, they should be all right.
SPEAKER 21 :
I’ve got the Falcons, too. You know what? I’ve got the Falcons winning that division. Oh, no, I don’t. Not over Tampa Bay. I forgot about Tampa. Baker for MVP. But I do have the Falcons going to the playoffs.
SPEAKER 08 :
I do, too.
SPEAKER 21 :
All right. Next up. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they’re on the road to the Lions. Lions are favored by 6.5. Should anyone be a touchdown favorite over 5-1 Tampa Bay? Is Baker Mayfield a possible MVP?
SPEAKER 08 :
I think he’s a frontrunner. Yeah, I do too. Chris Godwin hasn’t played. Mike Evans is out. Yeah, I love him. Emeka Igbuka is now out. So he’s got nothing left other than Sterling Shepard. So I don’t see the Bucs winning, but I think it’ll be a decent game. They’re well coached. They’re… Even though they’re 5-1, they have been an underrated team for a long time for no reason. They’ve had talent on both sides for the longest time, always in the playoff hunt.
SPEAKER 21 :
I agree. I’m going to take the Lions as well just because of injuries to Tampa Bay. But right now, if Tampa were healthy, I’d be taking Tampa.
SPEAKER 1 :
100%.
SPEAKER 21 :
They’re that good. Okay, last game, the Texans are on the road at the Seahawks. Seahawks favored by 3.5. How badly can Houston play with all that talent? And are the Seahawks about to go 5-2?
SPEAKER 08 :
I took the Seahawks. I just think their defense is finally at what they’ve been building for the last four years. Sam Darnold looks great. For NFC quarterbacks, I’d have him up there with Dak and – maybe not Dak, but I’d have him up there with Baker.
SPEAKER 21 :
You know, it’s nice to have high draft picks at left and right tackle, and he does. I’m telling you what, Darnold has time to throw, and he’s using it.
SPEAKER 08 :
And I like that they’re using Charbonnet as more of a two-back system with Kenneth Walker. Charbonnet’s been killing it. I feel like he’s about to take the starting job.
SPEAKER 21 :
I agree. They are a good team.
SPEAKER 08 :
Smith and Jigba’s second year, and every game he’s got 100 yards, it seems.
SPEAKER 21 :
All right, we’re both taking Seattle. And, Charlie, that is it. That is it for NFL picks. We’ll see how it goes. Okay, let’s take a break. When we come back from break, we’re going to be doing what, Luke?
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, we’re going to be doing Nazis and Commies.

SPEAKER 21 :
Putting reason into your afternoon drive, this is John Rush. And welcome back to Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560, Andy Pate filling in for John Rush, along with Luke Cash and Tanner Cole. And guys, we are talking about Nazis and commies. Movies with Nazis and commies, and there’s a lot of them.
SPEAKER 12 :
There are a decent amount.
SPEAKER 21 :
There are many people who make better bad guys than Nazis and commies. Pretty decent bad guys, I’d say.
SPEAKER 08 :
Very easy to hate. Yeah, I think Christopher Waltz in Glorious Bastards is one of my favorite evil guys just because he’s so eloquent at the same time. But he stands… I mean, he’s one of the… Higher powers in the Third Reich. But he was fantastic. I mean, he’s one of the best actors I’ve ever seen.
SPEAKER 21 :
Well, he’s one of the best bad guys I’ve seen.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 21 :
I mean, he was outstanding. But you know what? I’m going to open up with the good guy.
SPEAKER 15 :
Nice.
SPEAKER 21 :
From Inglorious Bastards. That is Brad Pitt. Are you ready?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 21 :
Recruiting his killers.
SPEAKER 03 :
And the German will be sickened by us. And the German will talk about us. And the German will fear us. When the German closes their eyes at night, and they’re tortured by their subconscious for the evil they have done, it will be with the thoughts of us that they are tortured with. Sound good? Yes, sir! That’s what I like to hear. But I got a word of warning for all you would-be warriors. When you join my command, you take on debit. A debit you owe me, personally. Each and every man under my command owes me 100 Nazi scalps. And I want my scalps. And all y’all will get me 100 Nazi scalps taken from the heads of 100 dead Nazis. Or you will die trying.
SPEAKER 21 :
All right, guys, what do you think?
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, I love it. One of my favorite movies.
SPEAKER 21 :
One of my favorite performances by Brad Pitt.
SPEAKER 08 :
I mean, everything about that movie, the acting was great, the scenes, the writing, the Jew bear, I loved him.
SPEAKER 21 :
You know, one thing I really liked about Inglorious Bastards was it showed you cannot negotiate with these people. It must be brutality that matches theirs and exceeds theirs and shocks them.
SPEAKER 17 :
Right.
SPEAKER 21 :
And here he, what does he get? Eight Jewish guys to go killing Nazis because he knew exactly what he wanted. I thought it was great.
SPEAKER 12 :
It’s been a while since I’ve seen it. I need to rewatch it again. It’s been a minute.
SPEAKER 21 :
I will say there are periods in the movie where it drags some.
SPEAKER 12 :
A little.
SPEAKER 21 :
But overall, good movie.
SPEAKER 12 :
Right.
SPEAKER 21 :
Inglourious Bastards, I recommend it.
SPEAKER 12 :
Luke, you’re up. Oh, let’s go with Captain America, the first Avenger. Yes. I forgot about that. Yeah. Yeah, people forget that that’s a, you know, it’s a World War II movie. They fight Red Skull, a Nazi. It’s a big Nazi organization. Hydra is Nazis. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER 21 :
I agree. Very cool. And by the way, that was the last, I don’t know. It’s just so sad that Chris Evans kind of spoiled Captain America going forward. What did he do? Well, he’s such a crazy left-wing activist, and he’s so mean about it. It’s one thing to be, as I always say, it’s one thing to be one. It’s another thing to scream it all the time. It got old because you’re playing Captain America.
SPEAKER 08 :
Right. Well, it’s like, why don’t you just not talk about it, even though I’m sure they might have in their contract they have to talk about it, or else they don’t get any more movies.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, and I feel bad about that, because it’s also unfair to ask them to be silent about their political beliefs. I don’t want to do that.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, none of them live in the reality that everyday Americans do, so why are they even talking about it?
SPEAKER 21 :
Well, there’s that.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, Tanner, you’re up. Let’s go with Red Dawn. Red Dawn! I like both. I think there’s a new one.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, there’s two of them.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, yeah, yeah, both.
SPEAKER 21 :
And I agree, I like both.
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, isn’t the new ones like 15 years old? Yeah, still old, yeah.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yes. Yes. Did you like it?
SPEAKER 12 :
Uh, I remember liking it when I watched it. I don’t know if it holds up, but I remember thinking it was cool when I saw it at the time.
SPEAKER 08 :
The premise is fantastic. Oh, yeah. The communists just coming in, these kids at school, we gotta get out to the mountains, bring our guns, bring camping stuff, and then fighting them off was pretty awesome. Yeah, it’s a really cool premise. Yeah, I like it. Just some high school kids fighting against trained soldiers.
SPEAKER 21 :
You know who I could see totally leading a bunch of high schoolers against the communists coming in? John and Cheyenne. That’s who I think would definitely do it. John, do you have some Nazi and commie movies?
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, yeah. I got Two Serious and a Comedy. Okay, let’s hear it. Okay, the first Nazi one is one of my favorite movies of all time, Battleground and the Battle of the Bulge. Oh, yes, yes. And the great line, which is historically true, is when General McAuliffe told the Nazis to their surrender demand nuts. And Patton quotes it in the movie Patton, too. But that’s an actual historical fact. That was his response to a Nazi surrender demand.
SPEAKER 20 :
Isn’t that funny? Yep. He wanted to keep killing them. I’m good with that.
SPEAKER 19 :
Oh, yeah. Tommy’s one of my favorite movies of all time. The Hunt for Red October.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, yes. I’m quickly realizing I’m going to have nothing by the end of it. Really quick here.
SPEAKER 21 :
Let me play a clip of Hunt for Red October. Here we go.
SPEAKER 05 :
And I will have a pickup truck or possibly even A recreational vehicle. And drive from state to state. Do they let you do that?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yes. No papers? No papers. State to state.
SPEAKER 26 :
All right, commence your turn.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well then, in winter I will live in Arizona. Actually, I think I will need two wives. Oh, at least.
SPEAKER 21 :
I just had to leave in the two wives thing.
SPEAKER 19 :
John? You know, people don’t realize how great of an actor Sam Neill is. Oh, he’s wonderful. You know, because he did the Jurassic Park movies, but he’s done so many others before that. Sorry to go off on a tangent. Do you remember… He played Damien in Omen 3. No. He was very young. He was very young at the time, yeah.
SPEAKER 21 :
You’re kidding. I didn’t know that.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah, he was, well, Damien’s son of Satan. So, yeah.
SPEAKER 21 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 19 :
I’m sorry, go ahead.
SPEAKER 21 :
No, I said okay.
SPEAKER 19 :
Go ahead. Yeah. And then the comedy, another one of my favorite movies of all times, The Original Producers. Oh, The Producers. Okay, yeah. That was pretty funny. Do you remember what the play was called?
SPEAKER 21 :
Don’t tell me something for Hitler. I forget. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 19 :
Springtime for Hitler.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, Springtime for Hitler.
SPEAKER 19 :
There’s an old quote from Mel Brooks from way back when, when they asked him how he could make that movie, and he said Nazis were evil, rotten… people and the only thing you could do is make fun of them yeah that was so you guys have a great day andy um i’ll talk to you tuesday after i hope to see a victory on sunday well best luck to you sir i think you’re in for a hard road but hey you never know you never know you never know okay thanks john well let’s see here i’m let’s do a sing-along are you ready ready okay here we go
SPEAKER 21 :
Nazis. By Nazis. What do you think, guys? Isn’t this John’s favorite movie of all time? Oh, yeah. It’s better than Mary Poppins. Nazis. You know, and now in the original cut, they took it out. They actually had Nazis twirling and spinning and frolicking on the hills. Did you know that?
SPEAKER 08 :
That would be a fun remake, a comedy of The Sound of Music.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 08 :
It would be.
SPEAKER 21 :
Anything that makes fun of Nazis to me is actually a good thing. Okay, that was The Sound of Music. Luke, you’re up. Oh, let’s go with, I think it’s, what is it, Rocky IV? Rocky IV. I think I have a clip. Are you ready?
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 21 :
Here we go.
SPEAKER 22 :
In here, there were two guys killing each other. But I guess that’s better than $20 million.
SPEAKER 04 :
What I’m trying to say is that if I can change, then you can change. Everybody can change.
SPEAKER 21 :
That’s right, Sly. You tell those commies.
SPEAKER 12 :
There we go.
SPEAKER 21 :
That was a fun movie. Rocky IV was fun. Obviously, it was ridiculous. You would, in a real boxing match, deliver maybe one or two shots the way they delivered like 60 from each of them. But still, it was cool. What do you think? Yeah, I think so. He took down the economy. We did it. Got to take down the economy. We did it. I’m so proud. I’m so proud. Tanner, you’re up. We’re too busy crying.
SPEAKER 08 :
Go ahead. I want to say one thing about Sam Neill. He was fantastic as the police officer in Peaky Blinders, if you haven’t seen that.
SPEAKER 21 :
Oh, okay.
SPEAKER 08 :
Let’s go with Resistance. Resistance.
SPEAKER 21 :
Resistance.
SPEAKER 08 :
I don’t remember that one. I think, what’s his name, the guy who was in, not Michael Cohen. I can’t remember. Okay. Not a small nerdy guy who was in it, but it’s similar to the Truth and Treason a little bit.
SPEAKER 21 :
Oh, okay. Well, very cool, because that was a cool movie. Yeah. Okay, I’m going to say one that you guys, I’m sure, have not seen. And it is, if you want to see a movie where you see Nazis, I mean killed in every possible way, and just torn to pieces, watch Sisu. Here we go.
SPEAKER 23 :
He was a Finnish commander. Lost his home and his family in the war. He became a one-man death squad. He’s one mean that you do not want to mess with.
SPEAKER 15 :
Fire!
SPEAKER 23 :
You’ll see what happens when you take everything from him. No, he just refuses to die.
SPEAKER 21 :
And it goes a little far with him refusing to die, but I will say this. I gave Sisu four stars when it came out. If you have not seen Sisu, S-I-S-U.
SPEAKER 12 :
From the same creators as John Wick.
SPEAKER 21 :
Exactly, from the same creators as John Wick. Oh, and there’s a sequel coming?
SPEAKER 12 :
This year.
SPEAKER 21 :
That’s not true because there’s no one left to kill.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, I’m sorry. He’s going to kill the communists now.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, now he’s got to go get the commies or something. I have no idea. But Sisu was brutal. Absolutely brutal. And it actually made a lot of money, you know, when Hollywood actually wants to make money.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah. All right.
SPEAKER 21 :
You are up, Luke.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, this one might be a bit of a stretch because it’s kind of more Cold War era. But technically, The Iron Giant is a Cold War movie with sort of fighting the Soviets as a little backdrop. I didn’t realize that as a child. And then watching it as an adult, I’m like, oh, we’re talking a lot about the Soviets in this, huh? That’s kind of interesting.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, and The Iron Giant is actually a pacifist movie. It’s a peacenik kind of film.
SPEAKER 12 :
I thought it was good. I loved that movie as a kid.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, very well done. By the way, was that forward… Was that Bloom… You know, I don’t know. It was a very, very forward-thinking cartoonistry.
SPEAKER 08 :
It looks the exact same as that one about the robot in the forest. The wild robot? Yeah, it looks almost exactly the same.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, no, these two are very different.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, they were very different, but I will say this. It’s great, though. It’s a great movie. I never thought of the Iron Giant in that way, but you’re totally right. Okay. Tanner, you’re up.
SPEAKER 08 :
Let’s go with the Monuments Men. Ah, yes.
SPEAKER 21 :
Isn’t that Clooney?
SPEAKER 08 :
I can’t even remember. It’s been so long.
SPEAKER 21 :
I think Clooney starred in that. That was pretty good. And that was one where they had to try to save… Art, right?
SPEAKER 08 :
Art. Yeah.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yes, yes.
SPEAKER 08 :
Which makes sense.
SPEAKER 21 :
Oh, yeah. Hey, tell you what. Why don’t we take a break, and we will come back and do more Nazis and commies. I’m enjoying this.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, sounds good.
SPEAKER 21 :
Do you enjoy movies about taking out some Nazis and commies?
SPEAKER 12 :
I love it.
SPEAKER 21 :
I think it’s great. Okay, up next is… Flesch Law. Corey and I won easily with Kevin Flesch. You can too. So call Flesch Law, that’s F-L-E-S-C-H, at 303-806-8886, or you can go to FleschLawFirm.com.
SPEAKER 26 :
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 11 :
TJ here with KLZ and Al Smith of Golden Eagle Financial. And Al, I have a question for you. I’ve been putting money away for a while in a savings account or maybe a couple of investment accounts, but what am I doing wrong and what can you do better than that?
SPEAKER 24 :
Well, I think a savings account is important because all the financial gurus, including myself, agree you should have three to six months savings that you have ready liquid access to. But retirement planning is a bit more long-term and And it’s a bit more strategic. We want to take a look at the sum of money you’ll need way into the future. And we want to look at how that money can last by providing you income for as long as you live.
SPEAKER 11 :
What kind of planning or strategy do you provide for folks with that that have a big savings but haven’t made that next step?
SPEAKER 24 :
Well, that’s a good question. If someone has a large amount in savings, one of the things I do is we have a conversation about their risk tolerance. Nobody’s comfortable losing money, but having money in the market over a long period of time is a mechanism to accumulate wealth. And so we talk about this different levels of risk and the different products that are available. And we don’t put everybody into one box, but I have an enormous assortment of financial products. And it’s not that there’s good ones or bad ones. It’s there are some that are more appropriate for some people, but not for others.
SPEAKER 11 :
And that sounds excellent. How can folks get in touch with you for that meeting?
SPEAKER 24 :
You can reach me at 303-744-1128. And if I’m not there, it goes to voicemail, but I return my voicemails promptly. And we could have a conversation in the office. If you live a considerable distance away, we can have a long phone conversation or a Zoom call, whichever you would prefer.
SPEAKER 11 :
And as always, you can find him at klzradio.com slash money. Al, thanks so much for joining us today.
SPEAKER 24 :
Well, thank you, TJ. Thanks for the conversation.
SPEAKER 11 :
You bet.
SPEAKER 21 :
Live and local, back to Rush to Reason. And welcome back to Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560, Andy Pate filling in for John Rush, along with Tanner Cole and Luke Cash. Okay, guys, you can’t fight Nazis if you’re not willing to hit the beach.
SPEAKER 12 :
What?
SPEAKER 21 :
That’s right, where the bullets are flying. Let’s take a look at… Oh, I see. Yeah, saving Private Ryan. Here we go.
SPEAKER 07 :
We’re looking for a private change, Ryan. I don’t know anything about Ryan. I don’t care. I’m finding him so he can go home. If that earns me the right to get back to my wife, well, then that’s my mission.
SPEAKER 24 :
I mean, where’s the sense of risking the lives of the eight of us to save one guy?
SPEAKER 03 :
The captives gave you an order. Yeah. I think the one you get to take this machine gun. Yes, sir. That was one hell of a call coming to take this nest, but… One of our guys going for it.
SPEAKER 21 :
What a movie. And there was a movie that totally redefined war movies going forward.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, that’s another one I haven’t seen in a minute. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it.
SPEAKER 21 :
Oh, that was terrific.
SPEAKER 12 :
Okay, Luke, you’re up. Oh, let’s go. Definitely a little more out there, but I thought it was good. Maybe it’s because it’s the artist in me with the turtleneck sweater and the padded elbows. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Jojo Rabbit.
SPEAKER 21 :
Jojo Rabbit.
SPEAKER 12 :
I liked it.
SPEAKER 21 :
Some fine acting.
SPEAKER 12 :
Very fine acting. I don’t want to spoil it just in case anyone has it. There’s one specific scene in that film where it’s like you should have seen it coming, and once it comes, it hurts so bad in the best possible way. Very, very good.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah. Jojo Rabbit was a very surprisingly good movie.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 21 :
I mean, that’s one of those that kind of came out of nowhere.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, like I said, very artsy, kind of a little strange, I think, in certain places, but it was good.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, most people don’t have Hitler as their imaginary friend. No, no.
SPEAKER 12 :
Hitler as an imaginary friend is a little out there, but excellent film.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, excellent film. Okay, Tanner, you’re up.
SPEAKER 08 :
This one, I don’t know how truthful it is, but it’s somewhat based off of a true story. Operation Mincemeat. where the English basically disguised their invasion into Sicily by using a dead body that they floated into, like, I can’t remember, Italy?
SPEAKER 21 :
I’ve heard of it. I’ve never seen the movie.
SPEAKER 08 :
I enjoyed it. I’m not going to spoil anything, but it was interesting because they don’t know if it’s going to work. And if it doesn’t work, then the war might even get worse. But if it does work, they might end the war. There’s a lot on the line. Interesting.
SPEAKER 21 :
I liked it a lot. Well done, sir. Once again, it’s Operation Mincemeat?
SPEAKER 08 :
Mincemeat, yeah. Kind of a weird name.
SPEAKER 21 :
Awesome. Okay, up next is someone else who’s awesome. Joe! Jersey Joe, how are you doing, sir?
SPEAKER 18 :
I’m doing fantastic. How are you guys doing?
SPEAKER 21 :
Doing well.
SPEAKER 18 :
All right. What more could you ask for? The Nazis running around New York City, Manhattan in 2003. Andy, you might know the movie.
SPEAKER 21 :
Nazis, New York City, 2003. Escape from? I don’t know. Bulletproof Monk. Oh my gosh, I forgot about that. Okay, I gotcha.
SPEAKER 18 :
For those who haven’t seen it, the movie opens end of World War II. A bunch of SS troops roll into this Tibetan monastery at the end of World War II. And there’s a colonel and they’re looking for some mystical scroll that’s supposed to give the possessor like eternal life. And they wind up shooting and killing a bunch. And one of the monks with the scroll gets away and that’s Chow Yun-Fat. Then the movie fast forward 60 years to Manhattan and here’s Chow Yun-Fat Hasn’t aged a day in 60 years. And the Nazi colonel who’s now in his 90s is in a wheelchair being pushed around by his henchmen trying to find the Tibetan monk to get the scroll to regain his youth. It’s got comedy. It’s got action. It’s got sarcasm. It’s a guilty pleasure. It’s a movie you want to see, Bulletproof Monk.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, and by the way, it’s got Chow Yun-fat, and he’s good. I like him.
SPEAKER 18 :
And Sean William Scott, too, as well. He’s funny. He’s funny. So it’s a martial arts action movie with a tremendous amount of humor in it. So Bulletproof Monk, people, you can probably find it on Netflix. I urge you to watch it. you’ll enjoy it. You won’t regret watching it.
SPEAKER 21 :
No, Bulletproof Monk is a really fun way to spend an evening and just forget the work day. Yep. I agree. Do you have any more, Joe? I gave you a whole list of them. What did you do with my list? I’ve got your list. I’ve got a bunch of them right in front of me here, man.
SPEAKER 18 :
Okay, well, I’ll let you run down them. We’ll keep using them. Okay, thank you, Joe. Are you going to do my life story by Bernie Sanders?
SPEAKER 21 :
No, I didn’t want to go that communist. You know, with the foreword by Zoran Mamdani.
SPEAKER 18 :
No, no. You’re not going to do that one? All right.
SPEAKER 21 :
I’m going to go without that, you know, because I want people to like their lives. And, you know, we’re just going to entertain them. Thanks, Joe. You take care. You too. Okay. You know, I have got so many. This one, I’m going to do one that you probably haven’t heard of, which I reviewed. It was on Netflix. Better part of a year ago called Number 24. Here we go.
SPEAKER 17 :
So non-violence was never something you ever considered?
SPEAKER 09 :
I lost eight of my dear friends during the resistance, and that was by order of the Germans. But how would you have reacted if your best friends were betrayed?
SPEAKER 01 :
You take him out of town, then shoot him.
SPEAKER 09 :
I believe that freedom is worth almost anything. For it’s either freedom or it’s death.
SPEAKER 21 :
Okay, folks, number 24, I think it’s still on Netflix, and I’ll tell you what. Oh, you’ve seen it?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, I was trying to figure out what that movie was for the longest time. It was just in my face every time I looked it up.
SPEAKER 21 :
Right, the Norwegian resistance against the Nazis. It’s a slow burn, but it’s really good, very meticulous, very methodical, and also with really good action and characters.
SPEAKER 08 :
What do you think? I loved the main character, but he’s retelling his story as a kid. I loved how he put everything. When he was getting asked questions from the young Norwegian kids because they’re all like, you know, they’re in this new world of like, well, would you really kill them or would you want to fight against that? And I thought it was fantastic.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, it really was, because basically he’s talking to a bunch of peacenik hippies.
SPEAKER 17 :
Right.
SPEAKER 21 :
And they don’t understand. By the way, there are some good things to be said by peacenik hippies.
SPEAKER 17 :
Right.
SPEAKER 21 :
I’d like a little piece, too.
SPEAKER 17 :
Right.
SPEAKER 21 :
Okay, and I think we can be too quick to go the other way, but they weren’t being realistic with what you have to do against pure evil.
SPEAKER 12 :
Right.
SPEAKER 21 :
And it was just really cool. Okay, Luke, you’re up.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, I don’t think we have had the boy in the striped pajamas yet.
SPEAKER 21 :
Oh, boy. Okay. That’s haunting.
SPEAKER 12 :
That’s a heavy one. It is. It is a very heavy one. I watched that movie when I was far too young to understand what was going on and haven’t thought about it since. It had come up recently and I was like thinking back on it. I’m like, oh, that was a dark movie.
SPEAKER 21 :
Well, and also, I mean, a little bit like, it’s not like Jojo Rabbit. I know that. But what I mean is in terms of really good acting by kids.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yes. Yes. Very good child actors. Like I said, very like haunting. Yes. Super good. I don’t know. There’s a lot of verbs I want to use that I can’t on the air. But it was good. It was good. I liked it. Well, as much as you can like something like that, you know?
SPEAKER 21 :
One more time. What is it?
SPEAKER 12 :
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.
SPEAKER 21 :
Thank you. Okay. Tanner, you’re up.
SPEAKER 08 :
Let’s go with The King’s Choice. It’s kind of like number 24 in a sense. But it’s Germany invading Norway and the king having to decide how he’s going to go about that, whether he allows Germany to walk in peacefully or there’s going to be war. And it was pretty good.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah. I mean, think of the choices that they had to go through.
SPEAKER 08 :
It’s unbelievable.
SPEAKER 21 :
Unreal. Okay. I played a clip last week from Darkest Hour. I’m going to play a different clip from Darkest Hour. Here we go. Winston Churchill.
SPEAKER 10 :
But now one bond unites us all. To wage war until victory is won. And never to surrender ourselves to servitude and shame. Whatever the cost, any agony may be. Conquer we must, as conquer we shall.
SPEAKER 21 :
He was incredible. Just had an incredible performance, deserved best actor. Luke, you’re up.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, let’s go with, this is, I don’t think we have this one either, unless someone said it and I missed it. Miracle. Yes. Beat the commies.
SPEAKER 21 :
Gotta beat the commies. Gotta beat those commie Russian skaters. Yeah.
SPEAKER 12 :
I was going through my list, and I’m like, it’s not a war movie, but it’s beating the commies.
SPEAKER 21 :
It’s totally beating the commies.
SPEAKER 12 :
It’s a war on ice. There you go.
SPEAKER 21 :
And by the way, it’s in my list, so obviously I like it. Okay, Tanner, you’re up.
SPEAKER 08 :
Let’s go with the Great Escape.
SPEAKER 21 :
Oh, yes. That’s just, what a great movie. Well done. Okay, I’m going to go to one that’s a little more thoughtful. Bonhoeffer, pastor, spy, assassin. Here we go.
SPEAKER 06 :
We have devised a plot to assassinate the Fuhrer.
SPEAKER 26 :
You will go to England as our spy. Churchill sees Germany as a home. He’s afraid that a bomb traced to England would mean invasion or worse.
SPEAKER 09 :
Invasion.
SPEAKER 21 :
All right, and that’s the story of Bonhoeffer. What an incredible man he was. And that was also made, I believe, by Angel Studios. And they did a good job. Okay, Luke, you’re up.
SPEAKER 12 :
A little disturbed sound of silence in that soundtrack.
SPEAKER 21 :
Yeah, well, they used the sound of silence to advertise the movie, and it was quite cool. Quite cool.
SPEAKER 12 :
Very nice. Let’s go with some weird mechanic diesel punk Nazis in Overlord.
SPEAKER 21 :
Where they get the lab where they’re developing these monsters.
SPEAKER 12 :
They got the big… It’s like a big machine robot things. Yeah.
SPEAKER 21 :
Well, you got to let me say this. Overlord, which by the way, I like the movie. I gave it three and a half or four stars. I forget. The opening scene where he parachutes into Germany is one of the coolest action scenes I’ve seen in ages. I mean, just really impressive. Overlord, good movie.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yes. I thought it was very unique for the genre, too, like this kind of weird sci-fi gritty vibe to it.
SPEAKER 21 :
It’s kind of cool. Yeah, kind of going against Nazi zombies.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, it was like World War II sci-fi in a weird way.
SPEAKER 21 :
It was very cool.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, Tanner, you’re up. Was Truth and Treason Angel Studios? Yes. That’s what I thought. They seem to be the only company that can make a good movie. Let’s go with First They Killed My Father. I love this movie. It’s about this young Cambodian girl and her father wouldn’t bow down to the communists, so they killed him right in front of her. And then she takes revenge, of course.
SPEAKER 21 :
That is a good one. That is really good. Tell you what, we’re going to end on that for now. When we come back, we’re going to go rapid fire. Are you ready? I’m ready. Because I’ve got some clips we don’t have time for. We’ve got too many movies. Okay, up next is Michael Bailey Law.

SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah. Oppenheimer, kind of. I think one of my favorite things about this movie is how offended he was about being called a communist. I was like, well, all of your work colleagues are communists, and your girlfriend and wife is a communist, and the affair partner you’re having is a communist, and you were previously a communist. Why are you sounding so offended when people are calling you a communist, dude?
SPEAKER 21 :
