As they unravel the reasons behind the universal appeal of these films, the conversation touches upon different theories that define gender preferences in entertainment.

SPEAKER 07 :
This is Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 19 :
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 17 :
With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 05 :
My advice to you is to do what your parents did, get a job first. You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 02 :
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 22 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
SPEAKER 07 :
It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush. Presented by Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning.
SPEAKER 10 :
Filling in is Andy Pate, party of choice. And welcome to our number two here on Rushed Reason. I’m Andy Pate, filling in for John Rush, along with Ashley. Carter. And my blushing bride. Corey. That’s right, okay. And we are talking about chick flicks. Now, there’s really two theories, I think, about chick flicks, okay? Okay. Well, because you got chick flicks and guy flicks, right?
SPEAKER 14 :
Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER 10 :
And I think the first theory is simply that, look, the genders are very different and both sides have their own unique… qualities their own beauty right and their own differences and their own messages their own themes their own things to say and that’s good and we can learn from each other and the other theory my theory is that girls are wrong and uh chick flicks chick flicks are bad and uh and if any men go to hell i mean if you live bad life and you actually go to hell you will spend eternity watching these movies on a loop and you’ll be strapped to a chair what do you think
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, that would be an interesting eternity, chick flex forever.
SPEAKER 15 :
That is actually kind of a nice concept.
SPEAKER 10 :
That’s the interesting thing is that, did you know that female heaven and male hell are the same place? Really? Yes, they’re actually the same place. And that way you can be together forever. And there’s a beauty in that.
SPEAKER 16 :
There is, because I would get my way all the time.
SPEAKER 10 :
Which is different how? You see, guys, I want everybody to know out there, gentlemen, when you are in the room with a woman, you are already outnumbered. One to nothing because she has a veto. All right. I’m right now in the room with two women. This is not good. OK, I’m outnumbered two to nothing. We are going to look at chick flicks. But, you know, one thing we do do agree on. I really do believe that men don’t want to watch a movie to get in touch with their feelings. Doesn’t mean we never do. Like when I watch October Sky and I see the relationship between the dad and his father, does it touch me? Yeah, it does.
SPEAKER 16 :
You mean dad and son?
SPEAKER 10 :
Dad and son. Dad and father, yeah. Dad and son. Sorry, I’m looking at the screen juggling things here. Okay, and I’m senile. So if you’re watching this, if I’m seeing the dad and his son in October Sky, it does touch me. There are parts in movies that touch me, but guys don’t go to movies to be touched in that way emotionally, all right, and feel touched and reached, okay? Women do. I believe women want to have their emotions brought out in a movie.
SPEAKER 16 :
I would agree. I mean, for me, because we were talking about what constitutes a chick flick, for me it’s the characters. I want to connect with the characters. I want to see the characters connecting with each other. I don’t necessarily like sad movies. There’s only two sad ones that I actually like, so I’m not going to sign up for Steel Magnolias or anything. But for me, it’s the characters.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, but explain this to me, and Ashley, I’m going to throw it to you. Why do women go to these sad movies so much? Sad movies are almost always watched by women. Once again, folks, I’m not being sexist. I managed movie theaters. I saw the crowds that went to different movies. It’s totally different crowds. Totally different crowds. I went to Wicked for good. Literally well over 90% of the people in the audience were women. And a few guys who were dragged there.
SPEAKER 30 :
It’s true.
SPEAKER 10 :
And me, because I had to do a review. So, I mean, that was basically it.
SPEAKER 15 :
why why do women go to sad movies i mean for me at least it’s the sad movies are allowing me to feel an emotion without feeling guilty about it you know i can sit there and just cry my eyes out at a sad movie and oh well i’m crying because of the movie not because you know i’m hurt by the comment you made yesterday okay um where it’s like i can finally express that sadness i can cry i can openly cry and other people are crying around me and none of us are sitting there going well why are you crying this is ridiculous
SPEAKER 10 :
You know what? This is a little bit like Rush Limbaugh when he would talk about sports. Why do we love sports? And he said, because it’s passion without consequence. He said there aren’t many areas of life, and I’m paraphrasing here, where you can put your full passion into something that truly doesn’t matter. And there is no consequence. And at the end of this game, nothing that actually affects your life has happened. And yet you get to invest your total passion and let your emotions completely out. And that’s cleansing. It’s helpful. And it actually helps the rest of your life. And I would think that with movies, and I’ve been a little facetious here. I think guys enjoy being emotional in movies too, okay? It’s just different. Yeah. And, yeah, we have different movies. We watch Dodgeball, okay? Yeah. Which was a very moving experience for me. Oh yes, it’s a deep one. It’s a deep one. Okay, well let’s jump into some chick flicks. Are you ready? Let’s do it. Okay, the first one is 10 Things I Hate About You. Yes.
SPEAKER 11 :
I hate the way you talk to me and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick. It even makes me rhyme. I hate it. I hate the way you’re always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh. Even worse when you make me cry.
SPEAKER 12 :
I hate it when you’re not around and the fact that you didn’t call. But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you. Not even close. Not even a little bit. Not even at all.
SPEAKER 10 :
Corey read that to me at our wedding, and it was a beautiful time. Do you really hate the fact that I’m always right?
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, for sure.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah. I am not worthy.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, so once again, here you have a girl going to tears. Look, folks, it’s actually an outstanding movie. If you haven’t seen 10 Things I Hate About You, I recommend you rent it. You’re going to have a lot of fun, guys and girls. It’s good for everybody. And it’s very funny, but it’s also very touching and has some really good moments. That was a great speech.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s also the perfect retelling of William Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew. It is. They don’t change the characters’ names at all. No, they don’t.
SPEAKER 16 :
It’s beautiful. It’s so funny. I love it.
SPEAKER 10 :
It’s my second favorite Taming of the Shrew. My best was done by Moonlighting. Yes. The TV show Moonlighting. Did you ever see that?
SPEAKER 15 :
I’ve heard of it.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, they did a Taming of the Shrew episode. Folks, if you have not seen it, you must rent that. Trust me.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s hysterical.
SPEAKER 10 :
It’s hysterical. Okay, Ashley, you’re up. Let’s hear a chick flick.
SPEAKER 15 :
I’m going to go on the same vein. It’s another Shakespeare adaptation. It’s She’s the Man with Amanda Bynes. It is an adaptation of Twelfth Night. Same deal. Don’t change the names of any of them. And it is pretty much the exact same plot. Nice. I’ve seen it. It’s a good one.
SPEAKER 10 :
It is good. It is good. Oh, pretty cheeky, though. It’s very cheeky. Very cheeky. Okay. Corey, you’re up.
SPEAKER 16 :
I’m going to go for a major cheeky one called What a Girl Wants. Oh, gosh.
SPEAKER 10 :
I mean, come on.
SPEAKER 16 :
Colin first. Leather pants. Doesn’t get better than that.
SPEAKER 10 :
It doesn’t get better than that. Colin Firth in leather pants.
SPEAKER 16 :
It’s hilarious. That scene is spectacular.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, you know, no man has ever seen this movie.
SPEAKER 16 :
My dad loved that movie. Don’t insult me.
SPEAKER 10 :
He did that for you, honey. Okay, that’s called he loved his daughter. Okay, he cared. Nah, he probably enjoyed it.
SPEAKER 16 :
He actually did like that movie.
SPEAKER 10 :
It was cute. Okay, well, that’s good. Okay, now I’m going to play a clip from the movie that more women saw than any movie I had ever seen in my entire life. Titanic. Here we go. Women went to that movie. I was managing at a theater when that came out, and they would literally go to it 20, 30 times.
SPEAKER 16 :
I remember, and I don’t like drowning movies, so I’ve never seen it, and I never will.
SPEAKER 10 :
That movie’s long, too. It’s three hours long. Girls absolutely adored it, and they’ve been drowning boyfriends ever since.
SPEAKER 16 :
Maybe that’s where Disney got their idea of girl bosses.
SPEAKER 10 :
I think so. Corey asked me if I want to go on an ocean cruise. No, no, don’t think so. But Titanic was so unbelievably popular now. Why was it so popular with girls? Obviously, Leo. You got Leo in his prime, but also the tragic drowning death. Tragedy. Girls do like tragedy.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s the fantasy, the tragedy, the whimsy thing. It’s so romantic.
SPEAKER 10 :
It’s so romantic. So romantic as he gurgles going under the water.
SPEAKER 16 :
I know. I’ve never really understood that.
SPEAKER 10 :
Was the gurgling part the most romantic, I mean, really, or am I missing the whole point?
SPEAKER 16 :
I didn’t watch it. I can’t tell you.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay. All right. Ashley, you’re up. Give us a chick flick.
SPEAKER 15 :
You know what? I see your Colin Firth in leather pants, and I raise you Colin Firth in the Regency era with pride and prejudice as Mr. Darcy. Oh, that was mine. You stole it.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, Mr. Darcy. Oh, God. i’ve actually been to lime park in england that’s amazing i know it was spectacular like i walked around i’m like that is the pride and prejudice view right there i got the perfect pictures okay imagine myself as elizabeth and for all the men out there i just want you to know i’m about to take my manhood and shred it throw it on the ground and jump up and down on it because how many times have i seen pride and prejudice A lot.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, a bunch.
SPEAKER 16 :
The secret is out.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, I love Pride and Prejudice. I absolutely love it.
SPEAKER 15 :
The only thing that beats Pride and Prejudice is Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, I haven’t seen that one, but I have seen Out of Austin. Oh, okay. I’ve heard of that one. That’s messed up.
SPEAKER 10 :
You’re such chicks. Okay, I’m just saying. You invited us because we’re chicks. Hello. Corey, it’s your turn.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, okay. How about IQ? Meg Ryan.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, IQ and Meg Ryan. Now, that is a very good movie. Here we go.
SPEAKER 29 :
Did you take him on that thing?
SPEAKER 10 :
Motorcycle.
SPEAKER 29 :
You took Albert Einstein for a ride on a motorcycle? Well, don’t ever do that again.
SPEAKER 10 :
Why not?
SPEAKER 29 :
Because he could have been killed.
SPEAKER 10 :
He loved it. He went wahoo.
SPEAKER 29 :
Wahoo?
SPEAKER 10 :
When was the last time he went wahoo?
SPEAKER 29 :
Well, I’m sure I don’t know.
SPEAKER 10 :
When was the last time you went wahoo?
SPEAKER 29 :
Well, I’m sure I don’t know.
SPEAKER 10 :
On a lift?
SPEAKER 29 :
On that? No. No. No.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, who is better in a chick flick than Meg Ryan?
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, I don’t know how you top her. Maybe Julia Roberts?
SPEAKER 10 :
Maybe. I mean, Meg Ryan was such a natural. Julia Roberts did a lot of kinds of movies. Meg Ryan did… I mean, she did a few different kinds, but almost all she did were chick flicks. It’s true. And romantic comedies. And she was so good. She’s so funny. So…
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, so she’s Einstein’s niece in that movie, so you should watch it, Ashley. It’s hilarious. I will have to watch it. Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay. All right, all right, all right, all right, all right. Let’s see here. I’m going to go with, I think, the best romance ever seen, and that is Brick and Chani in Anchorman 2. Here we go.
SPEAKER 29 :
I like you. I like you.
SPEAKER 26 :
Tell me something about you.
SPEAKER 34 :
Well, I’m 19 years old. My middle name is Courtney. I can always guess how many jelly beans are in a jelly bean jar, even if it’s not right. What about you?
SPEAKER 26 :
My name is Chani Lasnami. I’m a real go-getter and a person people. I can type 50 words a minute with only 300 errors. I’m trained and certified to fire a military grade missile launcher.
SPEAKER 34 :
Me too.
SPEAKER 27 :
Chani, I just got these phone messages from last week. You mailed them to me? How else was I going to get them to you? You hand them to me. Oh. You’re the dumbest person I’ve met in my entire life, and that’s not an exaggeration. That makes me feel bad. It’s the truth, Johnny. I mean, this is… You! Leave her alone!
SPEAKER 14 :
Sir! Get your filthy hands off of her! They go crazy.
SPEAKER 10 :
Steve Carell is hilarious. That was Kristen Wiig. And she’s hilarious, too.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, that scene is awesome. I just cannot say I’ve ever thought of Anchorman 2 when I think of chick flick. No.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, but I just wanted to throw in a great romance from a movie that might have a little bit of guy humor as well.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s a stretch.
SPEAKER 10 :
I don’t care.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay. Ashley, you’re up. Go. All right. You know what? We’ve been talking about the Disney girl bosses and how they don’t work. This is the girl boss that does work, Legally Blonde with Reese Witherspoon. Yes. Yes.
SPEAKER 16 :
Totally.
SPEAKER 10 :
She was great. She was great. Okay. Corey, go.
SPEAKER 16 :
13 going on 30. Jennifer Garner.
SPEAKER 10 :
She was wonderful, and, you know, it was such a surprise because, actually, that was coming not that long after, didn’t she do, she did a couple TV shows and movies where she was ripped and muscular?
SPEAKER 16 :
I don’t remember, but, yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, and then she does this cutesy little film, and you’re just like, what?
SPEAKER 16 :
I know, and she nailed being a little girl in a grown-up body. It was hilarious.
SPEAKER 10 :
She did it incredibly well. Okay, somebody who could definitely nail… Being a little girl in a grown-up body. Joe! Joe, how are you, man? What do you got for us? And he’s just fine.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yourself?
SPEAKER 10 :
I’m doing well, sir. I’m outnumbered. Help me out here.
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, actually, I’ve got a question for the ladies. It’s really, I’m tossed between, I think, the two greatest chick flicks of all time, and I want to get their opinion. Of these two, which is the greatest chick flick of all time? Rambo First Blood or John Wick? Which is the best?
SPEAKER 15 :
John Wick. John Wick.
SPEAKER 18 :
John Wick.
SPEAKER 10 :
I think so, because of the dog, right? Because of the tragedy. Wait, no, no, no. The tragic death of the dog grips at their hearts.
SPEAKER 18 :
What do you think? Yes, and the untimely passing of his wife. Right, which makes, you know, which, so, yeah, so.
SPEAKER 10 :
Honestly, though, I was sobbing through Rambo. Rambo. But that’s just me. I mean, it hit me right here.
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, it’s been a while since I’ve seen Rambo First Blood. That was another one of Dad’s favorites, so.
SPEAKER 15 :
No, let’s be honest. It’s John Wick because it’s Keanu Reeves. You cannot say no to Keanu Reeves.
SPEAKER 16 :
Very true. And also, you know, you love to hate the characters, and you’re like, yes, kill them all. Yeah. This is true.
SPEAKER 18 :
All right, ladies, well, thank you for your opinion. And I can’t say that I disagree with you.
SPEAKER 10 :
Hey, Joe, Joe, one thing before you go. Would you agree a lot of women like to watch John Wick because these women have worked in office places and they like watching a lot of people be killed?
SPEAKER 18 :
I would say so, yes. Which, by the way, brings up 9 to 5. Yes! Oh, yeah. Yes! 9 to 5, another chick flick. An incredible chick flick.
SPEAKER 10 :
It was a good one. I enjoyed it. It was totally a feminist movie, and I don’t care. I enjoyed it. I love 9 to 5, Joe. Well done, sir.
SPEAKER 18 :
All right, guys. Take care. Bye-bye.
SPEAKER 10 :
Go watch some chick flicks there, big guy. And what do you think? 9 to 5, Rambo, first blood, and John Wick. Okay, nine to five was a chick flick. He got it right there, right?

SPEAKER 21 :
Well, I’m not looking for a mail-order bride. I just want somebody that I can have a decent conversation with over dinner, you know, without it falling down into weepy tears over some movie that you just saw. She’s very emotional. Although I cried at the end of the Dirty Dozen. Well, who didn’t?
SPEAKER 20 :
Because Jim Brown was throwing these hand grenades down these air shafts, and Richard Jekyll and Lee Marvin were sitting on top of this armored personnel carrier that dressed up like Nazis. Oh, yes. Trini Lopez. Trini Lopez.
SPEAKER 05 :
He busted his knack when they were parachuting down behind the Nazi lines. Stop it. Richard Jekyll, at the beginning, he had on his shiny helmet because he was the MP. Please, no more. Oh, God, I love that movie.
SPEAKER 10 :
a chick flick talking about a chick flick and of course they were talking about a guy flick while making fun of chick flicks in Sleepless in Seattle terrific movie excellent pace very romantic and wonderful performances all around I think a lot of people probably that’s one of those that people haven’t seen for like a decade folks watch it again it’s entertaining it’s really good what do you think it is it’s a good one for Christmas time too because it starts in the holidays
SPEAKER 16 :
Interesting.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, there you go. Tis the season.
SPEAKER 15 :
All right, Ashley, you’re up. All right. I don’t know if either of you are going to know this one, but this taps into another emotion that women like in chick flicks, and that’s revenge. Yes. This is Revenge of the Bridesmaids. It was made for ABC. It’s a made-for-TV movie, but it’s starring Raven Simonier. It’s got Beth Broderick in it. It is such a good movie. Really? Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
I have not seen that one. I have never heard of this.
SPEAKER 15 :
These three friends get together to ruin another friend’s wedding because they stole one of their…
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh my gosh. Okay then. I like the premise. All right. All right. Go ahead. Okay. I’m going to go with Brigadoon. Oh yeah. That’s a classic.
SPEAKER 10 :
You know, it’s awfully long, though. It is. A lot of dancing, but of course, what dance? Doesn’t it have Gene Kelly and Sid Charisse?
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, yeah. So if you want to see amazing dancing, those two are incredible.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, she was. I mean, obviously, everybody knows about Gene Kelly, but Sid Charisse, she was amazing.
SPEAKER 16 :
She was. She actually had her legs insured for like $2 million or something. Wow.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. I can totally understand that. Yeah. Okay, let’s go to a movie that has a very touching, I think…
SPEAKER 23 :
scene where they’re getting some marriage counseling maybe it’s your fault have you tried sexy lingerie some lacy underwear a black teddy i’ve tried wearing them all they don’t work why don’t you want to have a child didn’t i try to adopt that 18 year old korean girl just be jane and frank lovers we haven’t had a night like that in a in a long time Not together.
SPEAKER 13 :
Oh, my gosh.
SPEAKER 23 :
Having a baby is a big responsibility. It’s like being in charge of sanitation at a Haitian jail. I’m just frightened.
SPEAKER 16 :
Anyway. Okay, we need to work on your definitions. Naked gun two and a half. Okay. If you’re not going to take this seriously, Andy.
SPEAKER 10 :
I generally am. Most of my ideas actually are chick flicks. But every now and then I’m going to put in a guy flick that has, I believe, a very touching moment where they were trying to get in touch with their feelings and healing. There was emotional healing happening.
SPEAKER 16 :
You know we’re watching chick flicks this weekend, right?
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, I know, because I’m doomed.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. Like I said, you know, female heaven and male hell are the same place, folks.
SPEAKER 15 :
But we’ll be together.
SPEAKER 10 :
Exactly. We will be together forever. Ashley, you’re up.
SPEAKER 15 :
All right. Divisive Bad Moms, starring Mila Kunis. Okay. Have you not seen that one? I haven’t seen that one. Oh, my gosh. It’s a comedy, but it is… Are you telling me that you would want to sit down and watch… bad moms a movie about chicks probably not but it is pretty funny it’s funny but it’s like you want you would any guy want to sit down and watch a movie about moms neglecting their responsibilities to go out and party and have fun and sleep with people yeah probably not I don’t think so no okay what do you think we guys want okay uh Corey you’re up one of my all-time favorites that I can quote incessantly while you were sleeping uh
SPEAKER 16 :
He hates this movie.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yes. I mean, look, don’t get me wrong. I actually think the romance is really good. It’s very, very well done. It just gets a little old. Here we go at the end.
SPEAKER 12 :
You have to tell me what to do. I like Jack.
SPEAKER 05 :
Pull the plug.
SPEAKER 12 :
You are sick.
SPEAKER 05 :
I’m sick. You’re cheating on a vegetable.
SPEAKER 04 :
Caravan Pictures presents Sandra Bullock. These are your husband’s things.
SPEAKER 05 :
This is not my husband.
SPEAKER 19 :
You’re a fiancé. Bill Pullman. She drives you so crazy, you don’t know whether to hug her or just arm wrestle her. Peter Gallagher. He’s awake. Your family’s here, Peter.
SPEAKER 04 :
In a film about love, At Second Sight. Who are you?
SPEAKER 10 :
That is a classic movie.
SPEAKER 16 :
It is.
SPEAKER 10 :
It is. It’s very well done, but not my type.
SPEAKER 16 :
You’re hopeless.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, here’s a romance, and it is a romantic comedy that I really enjoyed. I thought it was really well made with Ricky Gervais called Ghost Town.
SPEAKER 03 :
I knew you were going to come off scary. I’m not scary. This fall, you’re going to have to stop and ask yourself the ultimate question. This business of being such a jerk, what is it really getting me?
SPEAKER 23 :
Um… Hi. I’m going to get the next one.
SPEAKER 25 :
That’d be silly. Get in here. How do the ladies resist their rap ears? This is how we do it, baby. See you live.
SPEAKER 31 :
I suppose you’re talking to him right now. Is that what you want me to believe?
SPEAKER 06 :
Wait! Wait!
SPEAKER 31 :
Wait!
SPEAKER 25 :
In a whole new light.
SPEAKER 06 :
The smell, I know.
SPEAKER 25 :
A very sensitive gag reflex. Ghost Town.
SPEAKER 19 :
If I see one more whinging zombie anywhere near me… No, no, no, we’re not zombies. Zombies feed on human flesh. That’s offensive.
SPEAKER 10 :
Basically, it’s a take on the sixth sense. He can see dead people. But the difference is he doesn’t like them.
SPEAKER 16 :
He hates people.
SPEAKER 10 :
He hates all people. And here he is having to be the only one who can see dead people. And they’re all running to him for help. And he hates them all.
SPEAKER 15 :
That would be me.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. That’s Ricky Gervais. And he was hilarious. Folks, if you have not seen Ghost Town, please do yourself a favor. It’s worth it.
SPEAKER 15 :
Ashley, you’re up. Pretty Woman. Oh, yes. Yes. You have to mention that if you’re talking about chick flicks. Absolutely.
SPEAKER 10 :
Let me guess. The best scene is the shopping scene.
SPEAKER 16 :
Of course.
SPEAKER 10 :
It was classic.
SPEAKER 16 :
Excuse me. Do you work here?
SPEAKER 10 :
Do you work on commission? Well, yes, I do. Big mistake.
SPEAKER 16 :
Huge.
SPEAKER 10 :
Huge. Huge. Corey, you’re up.
SPEAKER 16 :
All right. I’m going to go with Man Up.
SPEAKER 10 :
Man Up was a very good movie. You probably have not heard of this one. No. Have you heard of Simon Pegg?
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay. He was in a romantic comedy that nobody heard about.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, we had never heard about it. We just saw it and we’re like, well, we love Simon Pegg. Let’s give it a try. So he ends up on a blind date with the wrong girl. Oh, no. And the girl’s just playing along this whole entire time. And it’s very creative. There’s a totally cringy scene in the bathroom. Just get past that and then you’re golden.
SPEAKER 15 :
I mean, OK, I feel like most chick flicks have at least one cringy scene that you kind of have to just get.
SPEAKER 16 :
This is like horrifying. Oh, no. Yeah. It’s funny, though. It’s hilarious.
SPEAKER 10 :
But you’re just sitting there like, oh. Yeah. Bottom line, Simon Pegg is always funny. He’s very funny in this. And the girl, the actress, I don’t even know her. She’s a British actress. She is hilarious.
SPEAKER 16 :
She is.
SPEAKER 10 :
And she’s trying to tell him I’m not the girl. And he won’t listen because he won’t shut up. And before you know it, she’s on a date with him.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 10 :
So there you go. Okay, let’s take a break. We’ll come back and do more chick flicks up next. And up next for us is Flesh Law. Corey and I, we won easily with Kevin Flesh, didn’t we? We did. Thank goodness. Yeah, he’s wonderful. And you can too. Call Flesh Law, that’s F-L-E-S-C-H, at 303-806-8886.
SPEAKER 04 :
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 09 :
This is TJ with KLZ Radio here with Golden Eagle Financial and Al Smith once again. Al, how are you today? I’m great, TJ. How are you? I am doing well. I was just thinking today, Al, how do people find happiness in their retirement? You must have some pretty neat stories about the way that people have gone into retirement. What are some of those?
SPEAKER 31 :
Well, I do. We can’t squeeze them into this short time. But one of the things I have found is that people who find their purpose in retirement experience a much more fulfilling and happy retirement. A way to give back might be volunteering. It might be going on mission trips. It might be tutoring children, things of that nature.
SPEAKER 09 :
What are some ways that people can prepare for that, Al? How do people get ready for that retirement when they’re earlier on before they approach that?
SPEAKER 31 :
Well, I think what people need to do is think in terms of what they really enjoy doing. A gentleman I had on my show a week or so ago has been heavily involved in Gideon’s International, where he gives away Bibles to not only hotels, which is what they’re thought of, but also to high school students and so forth. So by getting involved in these things before retirement, it is a smooth transition then going into retirement. Because then you can devote more time to what it is you love.
SPEAKER 09 :
So cool the way that you help folks get to that point, Alan. And if somebody’s here right now and they want to figure out what they want to do in retirement, how do they get in touch with you?
SPEAKER 31 :
You can reach me at 303-744-1128. Or if you’re in the car, contact KLZ and they will get in touch with me and we’ll sit down and have a conversation.
SPEAKER 09 :
Excellent. As always, you can find Al Smith of Golden Eagle Financial on klzradio.com slash money. Al, thanks for joining us today.
SPEAKER 31 :
You’re welcome, TJ. Thanks for having me.
SPEAKER 10 :
And welcome back to Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560, Andy Pate filling in for John Rush, along with Ashley. Carter. And my blushing bride. Corey. That’s right. We are doing chick flicks because I deserve this. For being a man, I deserve to be put down.
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, it’s been a while since you’ve done girly stuff. You can feel the estrogen flooding this room right now.
SPEAKER 10 :
And I do. And you know what? I just feel like we are relating. We are all bonding here. I think we’re becoming one. What do you think?
SPEAKER 16 :
I’m not sure what that last example you used.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, okay. Well, by the way, we had a caller call in, did not want to give her name, but that’s okay. It is the movie A Gift-Wrapped Christmas, and I believe it was a TV movie. I think Hallmark. I’m not sure. And it is a personal shopper with a sunny disposition makes it her Christmas mission to melt the heart of her newest client, who is a workaholic widower, and he’s a single parent. That sounds kind of cool.
SPEAKER 28 :
It sounds cute.
SPEAKER 10 :
It does sound cute. It stars Meredith Hagner and Travis Milne. I don’t know her too well. I do know him. And he can be a lot of fun. So there you go. A gift-wrapped Christmas.
SPEAKER 15 :
All right. I mean, holiday appropriate.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. Something we can look at and watch. Okay. Let’s see here. That’s probably too long. All right. I got to go with the classic. Here’s one that’s all girl. Jerry Maguire.
SPEAKER 31 :
You complete me.
SPEAKER 02 :
Shut up.
SPEAKER 26 :
Just shut up. You had me at hello.
SPEAKER 10 :
Now, Corey just says the shut up part. And she says it over and over and over. You know what, though? I take it the same way. I had you at hello. What do you think?
SPEAKER 16 :
We’ve been married a long time.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yes. That’s a good movie. It is good. You know what, though? I’m going to say an unpopular thing about Jerry Maguire. I think it’s pretty slow at times. It’s very touching. Love the kid. Love their relationship. Love the acting. Love it all. But it does get a little slow. It was a little.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah. Fair enough. Okay.
SPEAKER 10 :
Ashley, you’re up.
SPEAKER 15 :
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Oh.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, that is a chick chick chick chick chick movie. No man alive has ever seen this film, including me.
SPEAKER 15 :
I’m going to get in so much trouble here because I’m going to out myself, and I know my mother is listening. I would sneak out at night, grab her laptop, and watch The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants online on her laptop. I probably put so many viruses on her laptop. Oh, no. But I was obsessed with this movie, so I would sneak it into my room to watch it. Okay, then.
SPEAKER 16 :
Way to go. That’s hysterical.
SPEAKER 10 :
Way to go. Okay, Corey, you’re up.
SPEAKER 16 :
Okay, well, I sneak this one when Andy’s not around. Ghosts. Yes.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yes. Yeah, that’s one. No, I just can’t do. I can’t get down with that.
SPEAKER 16 :
I know, but the bad guy gets it.
SPEAKER 10 :
No, I know, but it’s just not the same. It’s so sappy. And the funny thing is, I really like the lead actors a lot.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, it’s got a fantastic cast.
SPEAKER 10 :
Love Patrick Swayze. He’s the hottie for the girls. He’s also the beat-em-up guy for the guys a lot of times. Roadhouse, right? We like us some Patrick Swayze. And, of course, Demi Moore I love, but no.
SPEAKER 15 :
Are you telling me you don’t just melt at the clay forming scene?
SPEAKER 10 :
Corey and I do that every weekend. It’s kind of messy. Yeah, we make ashtrays and things, right? And together and do the clay thing.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, Andy.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, we don’t. All right. Now, as you’ll notice, I’m not always doing girl movies, but I do romantic moments. Okay. That’s a stretch. So here we go. Team America.
SPEAKER 04 :
Oh, gosh.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, no.
SPEAKER 04 :
I really like you. There’s no chance we can ever be together?
SPEAKER 27 :
Only if you could promise me you’ll never die.
SPEAKER 04 :
You know I can’t promise that.
SPEAKER 27 :
If you did that, I would make love to you right now.
SPEAKER 25 :
I promise I will never die.
SPEAKER 10 :
The ultimate guy just lying just to get his way with the girl.
SPEAKER 16 :
I honestly thought you were going to have a stroke or a heart attack, possibly an aneurysm when you watched that movie.
SPEAKER 10 :
I was laughing so hard. I was falling out of my seat laughing.
SPEAKER 16 :
He was curled up in the fetal position in the theater.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, my God. I’m not exaggerating. Team America is so wrong in every conceivable way. But you know what? As chick flicks go, I think it’s a really good one. That was a touching moment. I felt it.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, we need to work on your education.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, well, Ashley, help me out on my education. Give me a chick flick. Mamma Mia. Yes. Ew. Ew. Oh, no, no. Awful.
SPEAKER 15 :
Bad Ashley! Bad Ashley! You wanted a chick flick. That is a chick flick. It is one of the best chick flicks.
SPEAKER 16 :
That is totally a chick flick.
SPEAKER 10 :
It’s an incredibly perfect example, actually.
SPEAKER 16 :
Except that Pierce Brosnan cannot sing. That ruined it. No.
SPEAKER 15 :
No. But he looks so good, so I can forgive him.
SPEAKER 10 :
Has anybody ever been more dashing than Pierce?
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah. Who’s also in the movie?
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, either one of them. Yeah.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
I guess, is there something to being British and being, well, Pierce Brosnan is not British, is he? Or is he? Yeah. He does an incredible British accent. So he probably is. Yeah. I’m pretty sure he’s British. Okay. Corey, you’re up.
SPEAKER 16 :
All right. All of me. Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. And that was funny, too. You haven’t seen that one?
SPEAKER 16 :
Steve Martin, Lily Tomlin. Oh, okay.
SPEAKER 10 :
It’s hilarious. Folks, if you have not seen All of Me, you must rent All of Me. It’s very, very funny. Yes. Yes. Okay. Now, when you think about romance and chick flicks, you never think about Jack Nicholson, do you?
SPEAKER 14 :
No.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, but you do in As Good As It Gets. Oh, yeah. And this is a longer clip, folks, but it’s worth it.
SPEAKER 25 :
Whoops. Very dangerous thing, pills. Hate. I’m using the word hate here. About pills. Hate. My compliment is, that night when you came over and told me that you would never… Um… All right, well, you were there. You know what you said. Well, my compliment to you is… The next morning, I started taking the pills…
SPEAKER 28 :
I don’t quite get how that’s a compliment for me.
SPEAKER 25 :
You make me wanna be a better man.
SPEAKER 28 :
That’s maybe the best compliment of my life.
SPEAKER 10 :
And I thought it was. I thought it was a beautiful moment.
SPEAKER 16 :
It was. You’re just like, aw.
SPEAKER 10 :
I was choked up. You were.
SPEAKER 16 :
You were crying.
SPEAKER 10 :
I was. I was just sobbing.
SPEAKER 16 :
Not as hard as in Team America, but you were crying.
SPEAKER 10 :
Honestly, I only sob when I watch the Packers. Oh, that’s true. Yes.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay. Ashley, you’re up. All right. I’m going with 27 dresses with Katherine Heigl and James Marsden.
SPEAKER 10 :

SPEAKER 16 :
I can’t help it.
SPEAKER 10 :
That’s okay. Those are good moments. We bond.
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, I flip between him and Colin first, really.
SPEAKER 10 :
That’s really good. Okay, folks, here is another one that I thought was an excellent movie. I really did. And that is Notting Hill. Yes.
SPEAKER 22 :
I live in Notting Hill. You live in Beverly Hills. Everyone in the world knows who you are.
SPEAKER 28 :
I’m also just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her.
SPEAKER 22 :
In a place called Notting Hill.
SPEAKER 19 :
I wouldn’t go outside.
SPEAKER 15 :
Is that where that’s from?
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts. And when it came out, it was a massive hit and it had incredible reviews. It was a terrific movie. Really, Notting Hill is, I would say, one of the best made romance movies I’ve ever seen.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, it’s good. Definitely good.
SPEAKER 10 :
Have you ever seen it?
SPEAKER 15 :
Nope.
SPEAKER 10 :
Now you will.
SPEAKER 15 :
Now I’m going to have to. Okay, Ashley, you’re up. Go. My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
SPEAKER 1 :
Ew!
SPEAKER 10 :
Ew! Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, he hated that one so much.
SPEAKER 10 :
That’s another one that’s going to be looped over and over in Guy Hell. And you’re going to have to watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding. There’s three of them. Yes, yes. And the third was horrible. The third one was pretty bad. I gave I did. I give it zero stars or a half star. I think I gave it a half star because Corey would kill me otherwise. But it was it was horrible. So in male hell. Yeah, they loop my big fat Greek wedding over. So thank you. That’s you’re right. That totally a chick flick.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well done. Well done. Okay. Corey, you’re up.
SPEAKER 16 :
Okay, I’ll give you a break. Roxanne.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, yeah. Well, here we go. He is talking in this scene. By the way, in Roxanne, that is taken from Cyrano de Bergerac. And so, you know, the big long nose. And in one scene in a bar, a guy calls him big nose. And he says, is that the best you can do? Don’t you have more insults for a big nose? And here’s just a few.
SPEAKER 22 :
Philosophical. You know, it’s not the size of a nose that’s important. It’s what’s in it that matters. Humorous. Laugh and the world laughs with you. Sneeze and it’s goodbye Seattle. Commercial. Ah, I’m Earl Shabb and I can paint that nose for $39.95. Polite. Would you mind not bobbing your head? The orchestra keeps changing tempo. Melodic. Everybody. He’s got the whole world in his mouth. Sympathetic. Oh, what happened? Did your parents lose a bet with God? Complimentary. You must love the little birdies to give them this to perch on. Scientific. Say, does that thing there influence the tides? Obscure. I’d hate to see the grindstone. Inquirer, when you stop and smell the flowers, are they afraid? French. Save. You see, pigs have refused to find any more truffles until you leave.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, next one I can’t play. Did you ever see Roxanne? No. Roxanne, when it came out, got four star reviews and that’s out of four. Wow. Nationwide. Almost all across the board. It was outstanding. I believe it came out the same year as The Princess Bride and not far apart from it. And so you had two movies that were absolutely dominant.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
And we’re just packing it in. Roxanne is hilarious all the way through. And by the way, that’s a movie that a guy can watch as well as a girl.
SPEAKER 16 :
Absolutely, and that’s one where the side characters are just as fun as the main characters.
SPEAKER 10 :
The side characters are hilarious. He runs a fire station with the most idiotic fireman you have ever seen in your life.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s amazing.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, and it’s a lot of fun. It’s taken from Cyrano de Bergerac, but it’s a lot more fun.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes, it’s a comedy, not a tragedy.
SPEAKER 10 :
I’m going to have to watch it. There you go. All right, Ashley, you’re up. Go. Miss Congeniality.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, you got mine.
SPEAKER 10 :
That was fun. That’s a good one. Wait a minute. Did we skip me? Did you bring up Roxanne?
SPEAKER 16 :
I did.
SPEAKER 10 :
We skipped you. We skipped me? That’s okay.
SPEAKER 16 :
Imagine that.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, you know what? I’m going to do one quickie here. No, I’m going to let Corey go, and then I’ll finish this roundup. Go, Corey.
SPEAKER 16 :
Okay, 50 First Dates.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yes! And who does that star?
SPEAKER 16 :
Adam Sandler and… Drew Barrymore.
SPEAKER 10 :
But you know what? They were in another movie.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes, they were.
SPEAKER 10 :
They were in, I think, possibly his best movie, certainly one of his top five, The Wedding Singer. Here we go. And here’s the ending of The Wedding Singer. She doesn’t know that he’s on the plane with her, but he’s going to come out of nowhere and serenade her.
SPEAKER 06 :
I want to make you smile Whenever you’re sad Carry you around when your arthritis is bad All I want to do Get your medicine when your tummy aches Build you a fire if the furnace breaks Oh, it could be so nice Growing old with you I’ll miss you, kiss you Give you my coat when you are cold
SPEAKER 10 :
Which, by the way, was the last time any man ever made that offer to a woman, that you can hold the remote control.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s selfless.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, that was very selfless. I thought the wedding singer, first of all, was hysterical.
SPEAKER 16 :
It is funny.
SPEAKER 10 :
And secondly, was very touching, and I thought it had a great romance, especially down the stretch. What do you think?
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, I like that one.
SPEAKER 10 :
Did you ever see it?
SPEAKER 15 :
I think I’ve seen parts of it. It’s a lot of fun.
SPEAKER 10 :
It’s a lot of fun. Okay, let’s take one more break, and then we’ll come back with more chick flicks, and we’re going to go rapid fire when we come back. No more clips, just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, great chick flick ideas from us three. Next up is Michael Bailey Law. Corey and I got our trust put together by Michael, so now we sleep easy. Don’t wait, get your estate planned with Michael Bailey at 720-730-7274.
SPEAKER 09 :
You’ll be so thankful that the mobile estate planner Michael Bailey keeps you awake long enough to actually finish your estate plan. That’s because he makes wills, trusts, and powers of attorney almost fun. Yeah, we said almost. Because let’s be honest, talking about what happens after you die is not on your bucket list. But Michael’s sense of humor somehow makes it easier. He’s like that friend who makes an IRS audit sound like it was just no big deal. And most clients leave relieved. And while the DIY guys online make you fill out forms until you go crazy and start googling, What happens when I die without an estate plan? We’ll be right back.
