SPEAKER 14 :
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 16 :
With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 04 :
My advice to you is to do what your parents did. Get a job, sir. You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same, and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 21 :
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 15 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush. Presented by Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning.
SPEAKER 16 :
And we are back. Hour number two, Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Myself, Andy Pate, Charlie Grimes. Richard will not be with us today. Normally he joins us for movie reviews, but he will not be with us today because of being out. So that means you guys have the ability, if you want to call in and add to our list, feel free to do so. Here’s what I’m going to ask, though, because… I don’t know about Andy, but I’ve got a pretty lengthy list, although there’s some movies that I want to talk about. So here’s what I’m going to do for today. We don’t normally do this, but please, one movie. If you call in, don’t rattle off six movies because my list will get eaten away very quickly if you all…
SPEAKER 06 :
I don’t have that long of a list because I’m not a car guy.
SPEAKER 16 :
Okay, so you’re the same way.
SPEAKER 06 :
In fact, I only have one movie. I’ll just tell you.
SPEAKER 16 :
Anyway, so one movie each. If you call in with a movie, pick your favorite. That’s fine. Fast cars, great, and we’ll do it. But please, out of respect for everybody else listening and Andy and I especially, because, again, this is a smaller genre of movies that are out there, I should say. So one per, because if each of you call in and rattle off four or five movies each, I won’t have enough. I’ll run out. Me too. There won’t be enough. So one per call, if you would, 303-477-5600. We’re going to do this. Let me do question of the day. We’ll come back. I have a nice long segment, Andy and I will. Yesterday, what is the only letter that does not appear in any U.S. state name? That is letter Q. Really? Letter Q is not in a state’s name.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right, because X is in New Mexico.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yep.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, cool.
SPEAKER 16 :
And we’re not Quebec.
SPEAKER 1 :
We’re not Quebec.
SPEAKER 16 :
And probably won’t be anytime soon after yesterday or today. Yeah. With Trump. I don’t think so.
SPEAKER 06 :
I just want to, hey, quick message from Rush Reason to Quebec.
SPEAKER 16 :
Bye-bye. Yeah, it’s over, folks. All right, today’s impossible question of the day. What does the 1967 Outer Space Treaty forbid? What does the 1967 Outer Space Treaty forbid?

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 16 :
All right, we are back. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. John and Shan, hang tight. We’re going to roll a couple of movies in here. So, Andy, take it away.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, I guess I got to go in with my favorite car movie right away, and that is Ford v. Ferrari, and this is from the trailer. Here we go.
SPEAKER 16 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 11 :
You’re going to build a car to beat Ferrari with a Ford.
SPEAKER 07 :
Correct.
SPEAKER 19 :
And how long did you tell them that you needed? Two, three hundred years? Ninety days. This isn’t the first time Ford Motors has gone to war. We know how to do more than push paper. Go ahead, Carol. Go to war. Thank you, sir.
SPEAKER 06 :
All right.
SPEAKER 16 :
Now, by the way, they’re really quick. You know what made that movie better than F1? What? The fact that that was an American company that was going against the Italians to prove a point, which I think also is why that movie is better than F1. Just my own opinion and a true story. Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, yeah, it was really cool. I’m going to say the reason it was better than there were a few reasons that it was better than F1. By the way, not a lot better. F1 was really good. But the main reason is Christian Bale’s character. Christian Bale has done a lot of fine acting in his career, but to me, this was the equivalent of Doc Holliday from Tombstone, defining a great actor, where you have a great actor who’s done a lot of great roles, but then does something that is just so unique, so cool, it blows your mind. And Christian Bale blew my mind in this movie. So there you go, Ford v. Ferrari.
SPEAKER 16 :
All right. You’re up. Another one where there’s fast driving, not racing per se, but fast driving. Fabulous movie. And whoever the stunt driver is in this movie did a phenomenal job. Baby Driver.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, Baby Driver. You took another one of mine just like that. No, no, no, no, no. I got a clip here. Oh, wait a minute. I do.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s right. We’ll wait. Here we go. We’re good.
SPEAKER 11 :
Who’s this man? Austin Powers. Doc said Michael Myers. This is Mike Myers. It should be the Halloween mask. This is a Halloween mask. No, the killer dude from Halloween. Oh, you mean Jason.
SPEAKER 14 :
No. Let’s go. Wait, wait, wait. I got to start the song over.
SPEAKER 06 :
They’re waiting to rob a place.
SPEAKER 16 :
I know. It’s hilarious. That’s a good movie, by the way. Okay, go.
SPEAKER 06 :
Go. They’re waiting to rob a place. He tells them to get him the Mike Myers, Michael Myers mask. He gets Mike Myers.
SPEAKER 16 :
It’s hilarious.
SPEAKER 06 :
It was hilarious. I loved it.
SPEAKER 16 :
No, great movie. All right, John and Cheyenne, you’re next. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 09 :
All right, I heard the rules, so I won’t violate them. Oh, you’re good. Now, I have one movie, but I also have a question after I say the movie, and it’s Days of Thunder. Okay. I was listening to Andy’s review when he was talking about how the driver couldn’t explain what was wrong with the car. And that kind of reminds me of with Tom Cruise and Robert Duvall, where he’s trying to explain how the car works to him.
SPEAKER 16 :
Did you see that, John? Yeah, no, that’s a great scene because that’s another one where Duvall is asking him for input on the car itself. Is it loose? Is it tight? Understeer? Oversteer? And Cruise is like, I don’t know. And so Duvall is teaching him what all of these things are and how to then relay that back to him so he can make the car work properly.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, I just thought that was a great movie because the chemistry between Cruise and Duvall really made that movie.
SPEAKER 16 :
Agree.
SPEAKER 06 :
By the way, just so you know, to me, that was like a moment from every corporation. You will have people in accounting trying to tell people in operations, OK, here’s what I’m trying. Here’s what I’m looking for. Here’s the information I’m looking for. And then you’ll have people in operations who need something totally different people. And it’s just different in every department trying to explain it.
SPEAKER 16 :
Now, really quick, one thing that I will say that I think F1 and Days of Thunder was a great movie, by the way. That’s a that’s a. four and a half star movie. I don’t know if it’s five, because I’ll tell you why in a moment. My biggest complaint with Days of Thunder, and I’m not a huge Nicole Kidman fan, and I know they were married at one time, but in my opinion, far too much romance in Days of Thunder, which takes away from some of what the movie actually is. F1 did it just right.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, as I called it in the review, it Pearl Harbors the movie.
SPEAKER 16 :
Correct.
SPEAKER 06 :
You have the romance take up too much oxygen.
SPEAKER 16 :
The Nicole Kidman thing in Days of Thunder screws the movie up, if you ask me.
SPEAKER 09 :
What do you think, John? I don’t think it was as bad as Pearl Harbor because I don’t think there’s any movie that’s as bad as Pearl Harbor.
SPEAKER 16 :
Right. Good point.
SPEAKER 09 :
But, yeah, I see what you’re saying. I would have liked to see more of Michael Rooker and Carrie Ewells in the car racing than Nicole Kidman. Agreed. Days of Thunder is definitely a four movie. I love the line, and you should put this on your drive radio. You know what wins a race? Tires win a race. Yeah, that’s a good one. Try to get them to not burn up as tires. But you guys have a great weekend.
SPEAKER 16 :
And really quick, as a teaser, John, in F1, there’s some pretty good let’s do this with tires in that particular movie, which I think some of you, to John’s point a moment ago, you’ll enjoy as well.
SPEAKER 06 :
I really enjoyed the tire talk. Very true. And you would think, talking about tires, there’s no way that’s, yeah, it is. It’s fun.
SPEAKER 16 :
It’s very, yeah, it’s very true. So, all right, you’re up.
SPEAKER 06 :
By the way, I got to say about Nicole Kidman, we must say, though, she is a lovely lady for a 14-foot tall lady.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes. She is tall. No, she’s a lovely lady, period.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, she is.
SPEAKER 16 :
I just didn’t, that particular movie, again, like you said, they just, they could have cut that portion of that back in that movie and made it a lot better, in my opinion.
SPEAKER 06 :
Agreed. Agreed. Yes. Okay, now we’ve got to get to another great, great racing movie, and that’s Talladega Nights. Oh, yeah. And this is a moment where he believes that he cannot walk, and he’s in a hospital. Here we go.
SPEAKER 15 :
You are not paralyzed. I am so paralyzed.
SPEAKER 01 :
No, no, no.
SPEAKER 15 :
Rough on him now.
SPEAKER 01 :
No, he needs to know.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay. He’s always crying. Tough love it is. Tough love. Wake up, idiot. You want to know what I am? You want to see what my life is? Don’t do it. You want to see what’s going on here? Don’t you stick that knife in your leg.
SPEAKER 16 :
Listen.
SPEAKER 14 :
Walk it off. Walk it off. Walk it off. Walk it off. He’s got a knife in his leg.
SPEAKER 16 :
That movie’s so dumb, but so funny at the same time.
SPEAKER 06 :
That movie, and it drags between the gags. Don’t get me wrong. It does. But when you get to the funny parts, oh my gosh, they’re fall-down funny.
SPEAKER 16 :
There’s so many one-liners in that movie that it makes the movie.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 06 :
That’s all that movie is. You’re waiting for the next one-liner. Yes, you are.
SPEAKER 16 :
I mean, it’s a stupid movie.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 16 :
But it is absolutely hilarious at the same time. Okay, you’re up. I’m going to try to find some older movies that most people don’t think about as maybe having speed and things like that in them. Dukes of Hazzard.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, that’s not that old.
SPEAKER 16 :
The TV show is old. Whether it’s the TV show or whether it’s the movie itself, they’re always racing around, generally. That’s true. That’s true.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, I’m going to go to a fun fast car scene, and that is from GoldenEye.
SPEAKER 16 :
Ooh, good job.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, remember that? It’s on my list. No, it’s on my list. When he’s being tested for his psyche. Here we go.
SPEAKER 19 :
I enjoy a spirited ride as much as the next girl, baby. Who’s that?
SPEAKER 18 :
The next call.
SPEAKER 20 :
James, stop this. Stop it. I know what you’re doing.
SPEAKER 18 :
Really? What’s that, dear?
SPEAKER 19 :
You are just trying to show off the size of your… Engine? Ego.
SPEAKER 18 :
We are having a pleasant drive in the country and you’ve got to bring psychology into it. Yes.
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, I was just sent here to evaluate you.
SPEAKER 18 :
Let’s try and put that behind us, shall we?
SPEAKER 14 :
James, I want you to stop this car.
SPEAKER 23 :
Really?
SPEAKER 14 :
Stop this car at once!
SPEAKER 18 :
As you can see, I have no problem with female authority.
SPEAKER 06 :
I thought it was a great scene where he’s racing the bad lady.
SPEAKER 16 :
It was on my list. That was a lot of fun, wasn’t it? No, yeah. Like I say, that was a great movie. That one… I won’t steal some of the others because there’s a lot of great car scenes.
SPEAKER 06 :
And you can’t just say all the James Bond movies because they’re different. Each one has a totally different car chase scene. They’re so fun. Okay, you’re up.
SPEAKER 16 :
Totally agree with you on that one. This one, because it is a movie I actually like, even though it’s a little corny at times, because I’m not any of the triple X or any of those type guy fans, movie fans at all. I’m not a fan of those. Gone in 60 Seconds, though. Good movie.
SPEAKER 06 :
Gone in 60 Seconds is very impressive.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s another one with Duvall.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, you’re right. I always think about Nicolas Cage, but you’re right. Duvall’s in it. I love Duvall.
SPEAKER 16 :
He’s always good in those car movies, too.
SPEAKER 06 :
How come he so rarely played the main character?
SPEAKER 16 :
I don’t know.
SPEAKER 06 :
I mean, he’s so good.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s a great question.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, because he’s just so great. Okay. We got to go to the Fast and the Furious. Here we go. Okay.
SPEAKER 07 :
Nice car.
SPEAKER 04 :
What’s the retail on one of those? More than you can afford, pal. Ferrari. Smoke.
SPEAKER 06 :
Smoke him. Smoke him. Now, the way Vin Diesel, it’s only two words, but the way he delivers that line, John, I felt like more of a man. I became more of a man just by watching Vin’s acting in that movie.
SPEAKER 16 :
I don’t think I’d let him drive me around the block.
SPEAKER 06 :
When he said, smoke him. I mean, he’s so manly. You know, I just think, you know, it’s not just the quality of the acting itself. It’s the manhood that he conveys. I think he makes all of us better. What do you think?
SPEAKER 16 :
I don’t think he knows a wheel from a lug nut. Just saying.
SPEAKER 06 :
I think your wife loves you more knowing that you have seen Vin Diesel movies. What do you think?
SPEAKER 16 :
I don’t think so, no.
SPEAKER 06 :
You don’t think so?
SPEAKER 16 :
No.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 16 :
I will not watch those. They’re not on my list.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, now, you’re a car guy who hates Fast and Furious movies. For those who have not heard you say this before, it’s actually very interesting. I want you to explain why. why you don’t like the Fast and Furious movies.
SPEAKER 16 :
Because nothing in that movie is remotely true at all on any level, period. Not in what they do to build the car, not the cars themselves, not what they do with the cars. It’s so Hollywood-ish that it’s not real. And for a car guy, it’s just like, that just makes my brain hurt. I can’t watch it.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, let me ask you this, because I know some of the stunts are way too crazy and unrealistic. I got that. Anybody would get that watching them. But… What about, because you’re saying not the way they build it or the speed that they get out of a stance, everything they do.
SPEAKER 16 :
Are you saying that’s all fake? Yes. Yes. All of it.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 16 :
It’s all Hollywood.
SPEAKER 06 :
Really?
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes. Now, some of the crash scenes where they’re doing things with the cars and jumping and so on, some of those are going to be real. You can look at the cars and see what’s all skid-plated up underneath for the stunt guy and all of that.
SPEAKER 01 :
Right.
SPEAKER 16 :
I mean, some of the jump scenes and stuff are going to be real. But in general, what they’re doing, what they talk about, how they talk about the car, what they’re going to do to build the car, it’s just utter nonsense. Total nonsense.
SPEAKER 06 :
But Vin Diesel.
SPEAKER 16 :
I mean, it’s got Vin Diesel, John. It’s dumb. It’s dumb. None of it. Again, it makes my head hurt watching that. I just can’t watch it.
SPEAKER 06 :
You know, the thing I love the most about Vin Diesel is he’s different in every movie.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s a totally different character. It’s like that was Vin Diesel. I couldn’t believe it.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
Like when he does Groot.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah. It’d be like you watching a writer’s movie, as you explained earlier. Yes. Be like you watching a writer’s movie when you know every single thing they’re talking about, how things are actually done is wrong. True. It would make your head hurt.
SPEAKER 06 :
It would. It would really upset me. You’d be like, just turn it off. You know, they’re dangling participles. What are you doing? Turn it off. Stop it.
SPEAKER 16 :
So anytime they’re on, I just skip. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen one of those, other than the Hobbs and Shaw with What’s-His-Face, because I like Dwayne Johnson.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, come on, the acting and the stunts in that.
SPEAKER 16 :
Were terrible.
SPEAKER 06 :
That was unbelievably bad.
SPEAKER 16 :
I’m not a car guy, and I came out of that with my head hurt. I just like Dwayne Johnson. Other than that, yeah, it was not a great movie.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, I like The Rock, but come on.
SPEAKER 16 :
I just like him. Okay, go ahead. Anyways. All right, you’re up. Let’s see. Logan Luckey. Oh! Which is another kind of like hidden movie back in the day that didn’t get great reviews, but it was a great movie.
SPEAKER 06 :
How dare you? Now, it’s funny that that movie is about a heist because you stole it from me. Okay? I was going to use that one pretty soon. It’s a good movie. Logan Lucky, I thought was a surprisingly good movie. I highly recommended it, and I don’t think anybody listened. I don’t think anybody’s seen it.
SPEAKER 16 :
And I don’t know why, Andy, because it’s a great movie.
SPEAKER 06 :
Folks, I’m going to tell you something. It’s a little slow, but let me tell you something.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, but it’s so funny.
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s funny.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s interesting. Daniel Craig does a character unlike anything he’s ever done before.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, you wouldn’t notice him. Oh, you wouldn’t recognize him.
SPEAKER 06 :
And it is also a brilliant heist.
SPEAKER 16 :
Uh-huh. This is a really cool movie. It’s great. Really cool. I can’t believe it didn’t get more accolades, Andy. It’s a solid four-star movie all day long.
SPEAKER 06 :
I loved it. Yeah, I loved it, and I would watch it over and over.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, if it’s on, it’s one of those movies, folks, where if it’s on, you just watch it. So anyways, you’re up.
SPEAKER 06 :
Speaking of movies I would watch over and over, The Italian Job.
SPEAKER 1 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
And here we’re not talking about super fast cars, but it’s not how fast the car is, it’s who’s driving it that really makes it. But here’s just a little bit from the trailer.
SPEAKER 12 :
They’re not in it for the pay. Hey, Steve. Gang’s all here. You have no idea how hard it is for me not to reach across this table and kill you. You want to start the game up again, that’s fine with me. They’re in it for the payback. Come on! You’ll try to take out my guards. I have five of them that you don’t know about.
SPEAKER 11 :
I don’t do dogs. I had a real bad experience. What happened?
SPEAKER 12 :
I had a bad experience. We tried to hack the system. You ready to create the biggest traffic jam in the history of Los Angeles? I’m so ready.
SPEAKER 13 :
Oops.
SPEAKER 12 :
You gonna try to crack my safe? You took my father from me. I’m taking this. You just blew the best thing you had going for you. You just blew the element of surprise. Surprised? Why do you get to punch him a night down?
SPEAKER 06 :
The Italian Job had one of the best casts and was one of the tightest movies. That might be a five star.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s a good movie. That’s another one of those where if it’s on, you just watch it.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 16 :
There’s really no slowdowns.
SPEAKER 06 :
Is there a bad scene?
SPEAKER 16 :
No.
SPEAKER 06 :
I… Is there anything you’d take out of it? That movie had the thing that so many movies today are missing, which is editing. You know when you watch a movie and it’s tight, it’s just like boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. The storyline is moving along, whether it’s action or not, right? That’s called editing.
SPEAKER 16 :
Good point.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, and that movie was terrific.
SPEAKER 16 :
Okay, you’re up. Only because this saved a car, literally. If it hadn’t been for this movie, the Pontiac Trans Am, I believe, would have died. Smokey and the Bandit made it famous.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yes, it did.
SPEAKER 16 :
And Pontiac should have done a lot more for Burt Reynolds than what they actually did.
SPEAKER 06 :
Jackie Gleason.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
Come on now. He was hilarious in that movie.
SPEAKER 16 :
For a low-budget film. I think what they spent on that thing, like a million bucks or something was all. It wasn’t a lot of money.
SPEAKER 06 :
That movie, obviously, Burt Reynolds is Burt Reynolds, and I just love the guy, right? But Jackie Gleason, it was almost like they didn’t write for him. They said, create a character of your own and just go out there and be him. Oh, my gosh, was he good. Was he Buford T. Justice? Yes. Okay. Oh, my gosh, he was incredible.
SPEAKER 16 :
Sorry, it was $5.3 million, but still. Oh, no, it was originally $5.3. I was right. They trimmed it all the way back to a million bucks. They had to do that movie on a million bucks. Oh, no. It trimmed it so far back.
SPEAKER 06 :
And yet, I mean, it was very funny.
SPEAKER 16 :
And it literally, because of the movie, revived a car that was really struggling to have any kind of sales whatsoever. And that movie made the car, literally. And everybody wanted one. Everybody wanted one. So we’ll take a break. We’ll come right back. Golden Eagle Financial is up next. Al did a great interview here of late. Listen in. We’ll be right back after Al is done. Golden Eagle Financial.
SPEAKER 03 :
This is TJ with KLZ Radio, and I’ve got Al Smith from Golden Eagle Financial here in the studio with me. Al and I were just talking about how in retirement he helps his clients to stretch the time in their retirement. Al, what do you mean by that? Tell us a little bit more about how time works in retirement.
SPEAKER 25 :
Well, when you think about leaving the working world, you think about, well, it’s still going to take money to live on once I’m retired. And that nest egg, whatever that is, that’s going to permit you to do what you want to do with the time that you have sort of earned for yourself. So the nest egg is not only in dollars, but it’s also in the time that you have to do the things that you believe will be fulfilling in retirement. And when I have a conversation with people, I think it’s equally important to think about how they’re going to be spending their time as it is to accumulate a nest egg.
SPEAKER 03 :
You’ve got to have some pretty good examples of things that people do in retirement. So open the door for us. What sort of things can we expect?
SPEAKER 25 :
Well, sure. I have one gentleman who is very much into aviation. He owns his own small plane. He actually works on that small plane. He’s within a few years of retirement. He’s retirement age. But right now, while he’s working, he takes his small aircraft, flies to locations where he investigates air disasters. I also have some people who spend a lot of time with their grandkids, some of whom live nearby and some are a little farther away. I have some who are incredibly involved with their churches and go on missionary trips and so forth.
SPEAKER 03 :
How do people get in touch with you if they want to stretch that time out in their retirement?
SPEAKER 25 :
They can reach me at 303-744-1128. And if they’re driving when they hear this, you can contact KLZ and they’ll put them in touch with me.
SPEAKER 03 :
Of course, as always, you can find Golden Eagle Financial on klzradio.com slash advertisers and get right in touch with Al if you’re driving and can’t write that number down. Al, thank you so much for joining us today.
SPEAKER 25 :
You’re welcome.
SPEAKER 16 :
Live and local, back to Rush to Reason. All right, we are doing Movie Rental Hour Fast Cars. I made a mistake, too. I read it wrong. Reynolds’ salary for Smokey and the Bandit was a million. They originally had a $5.3 million budget. They trimmed it down two days before shooting began. They were paying Burt Reynolds a million bucks, meaning because they cut a million dollars out of it, they ended up having only $3.3 million total after Reynolds’ salary to actually make the movie. Which is nothing. Even then, that was nothing. They grossed at the box office 127. Hilarious. And I got to say this because I didn’t know this before Andy and I were reading this. So the Buford T. Justice, that was the name of a real Florida highway patrolman known to Reynolds’ father. So Burt Reynolds’ dad actually knew somebody called Buford T. Justice. Very cool. So there you go. Go ahead, Andy.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay. Now this next thing is I’m going to play a song. And the reason is… This is from the cartoon Cars. And I liked how it introduced country music to kids. Because kids never listen to this stuff. And here you heard some of it with the kids. And this is in the very first race scene just showing Lightning McQueen.
SPEAKER 14 :
We’ve been driving this road for a mile and a half.
SPEAKER 17 :
And now this neighborhood’s changed. It’s all been rearranged. We’ll let that change.
SPEAKER 16 :
It’s Sheryl Crow. What? It’s Sheryl Crow, right?
SPEAKER 06 :
I think so, yeah. But that’s a very country-style music that they had throughout this movie, and kids ate it up.
SPEAKER 16 :
I agree.
SPEAKER 06 :
Couldn’t believe it. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 16 :
All right, I’m going to get a couple in from folks that have been texting in. This one, Bullet, is a great movie, so got to put that one in there, absolutely. So thank you, by the way. Yes, absolutely. That one counts.
SPEAKER 06 :
Fantastic.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yep.
SPEAKER 06 :
And?
SPEAKER 16 :
You said you had a couple? Yeah, the other one was, hang on, I’m looking on my list. Vanishing Point was the other one. Oh, yeah, classic. So thank you, guys, by the way. I appreciate that.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, do you have one, or are you going to go with those?
SPEAKER 16 :
Just go ahead. We’ll keep going.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, this is a quick clip.
SPEAKER 20 :
It’s 106 miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes. It’s dark, and we’re wearing sunglasses.
SPEAKER 16 :
Hit it.
SPEAKER 06 :
The Blues Brothers.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yep, that’s on my list too.
SPEAKER 06 :
When they drove through the mall. Oh my gosh, what a scene. It was great.
SPEAKER 16 :
You don’t think of that as a fast car movie, but it is.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, it is. In a way, it is.
SPEAKER 16 :
It is, very much so.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, you’re up.
SPEAKER 16 :
Let’s see here.
SPEAKER 06 :
That’s a lot of car chases.
SPEAKER 16 :
I’m trying to go with maybe some older movies for all of you listening that will enjoy this. How about… Well, actually, and you don’t think about this one, but there’s a lot of fast cars in Taken. A lot of race scenes or, you know, chase scenes in Taken. Yeah, there are. A ton.
SPEAKER 06 :
It was really good, too. I liked when it was in the yard where they’re going around in the mud and going over. And then what was it that goes through the guy’s window and kills him? I don’t know, but it was so cool. Folks, if you’ve not seen Taken.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, great movie, Andy.
SPEAKER 06 :
And if you’ve not seen it in the last couple years, rent it. Yeah, good movie. Have some fun again. Oh, yeah, good movie. Absolutely. Remind yourself why you enjoyed it. Okay, this is really quick here. This is from The Bourne Identity. And it’s, once again, not how fast the car is. It’s how good the guy who is who’s driving it. And at this point, they’re about to go down some stairs. Here we go.
SPEAKER 12 :
so what uh we got a bump coming up
SPEAKER 06 :
And it all felt so real how they did that. It was just so incredible watching her face as he went down all these stairs in this little car. It was hilarious.
SPEAKER 16 :
You’re up. Jason Statham, and this is actually another one of those movies that you don’t think much of, Death Race.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 16 :
Good movie.
SPEAKER 06 :
Jason Statham. I like him.
SPEAKER 16 :
I do, too.
SPEAKER 06 :
Now, there’s another guy, Man’s Man, right? Yeah. I mean, he just comes off as Man’s Man. Yeah. Okay, man, I know you hate this, but I’ve already done some Vin Diesel. I’ve got to do a little John Travolta singing in Grease, Grease Lightning. That one’s good. That one’s nice.
SPEAKER 14 :
You are supreme. The chicks are cream. This lad won.
SPEAKER 06 :
That movie had incredible music.
SPEAKER 16 :
It was disgusting a lot of the time, but it was incredible music. Not to backtrack to F1, but it did as well. It had some of the best soundtrack in the movie of anything I’ve seen for quite some time. I forgot to mention that during hour one.
SPEAKER 06 :
I forget the guy’s name, Hans Zimmer.
SPEAKER 16 :
Hans Zimmer did the music. And it’s great. It fits everywhere perfectly.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 16 :
Did a great job on that. So that’s another one where they did a good job. So Dan and Blackhawk, go ahead.
SPEAKER 10 :
So you want a 70s or an 80s?
SPEAKER 16 :
Doesn’t matter. Your call.
SPEAKER 10 :
And you guys may have already mentioned it. I’ll go 70s. Smokey and the Bandit.
SPEAKER 16 :
Just did it.
SPEAKER 10 :
That’s okay.
SPEAKER 16 :
Now you get to do two. Now you can do another one.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, you guys may have already done this one, too. And I haven’t, I just got on, so Cannonball Run.
SPEAKER 16 :
Nope, that was on my list next, but that’s fine. It works. That’s a funny movie, by the way. Yeah, it’s fun.
SPEAKER 06 :
Just silly.
SPEAKER 10 :
The woman that was, she was unbuttoning her shirt, you know, because she was getting away with speeding, you know, and that lady cop pulls up or walks up to her.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s funny. That’s a good movie. I haven’t seen it for years. That’s one I need to watch. It’s really funny.
SPEAKER 10 :
Didn’t it have John Candy in it, I thought? Or am I thinking wrong?
SPEAKER 16 :
I think that was before his time, I want to say.
SPEAKER 10 :
But don’t quote me on that. Yeah, I thought John Candy was in it. It was a young John Candy. Well, you may be right.
SPEAKER 16 :
You know what? I’m looking really quick. He was in so much. The cast was Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Jackie Chan, Roger Moore, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Farrah Fawcett, Jack Ellum.
SPEAKER 10 :
I don’t see a young… I think it was Jack Ellum who I’m thinking about. Oh, okay. Close enough. Yeah. Close enough. I think it was a spoof on Smokey and the Bandit, wasn’t it?
SPEAKER 16 :
If it wasn’t, it felt like it. Don Knotts was in it as well. You know, Terry Bradshaw was in that movie. Jeez. Peter Fonda. Mel Tillis. I can go down the list. Shirley MacLaine. I mean, there’s a ton of people in this thing. It’s hilarious. Frank Sinatra. Tim Conway. Telly Savalas.
SPEAKER 06 :
Telly Savalas.
SPEAKER 16 :
There’s a ton in that show.
SPEAKER 06 :
Everybody had a cameo. I think so. It was nothing but a million cameos.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s pretty much what it was, yeah.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s hilarious.
SPEAKER 10 :
I’m going to have to watch it.
SPEAKER 16 :
I am too, now that we’ve just said that. I’ve got to watch it now.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s hilarious. Dan, thank you, by the way. That’s why we do this. That’s why we do this. I’ll throw one in here really quick after Dan. Let’s see. Another one that probably isn’t from a listener yet, but it will be Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry. They always mention that one, so old movie.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay. Okay. This is from the beginning of Star Trek when a young James Kirk steals the car from the boyfriend of his mom.
SPEAKER 16 :
They drive in Star Trek? They did that one time.
SPEAKER 06 :
He did. Yeah. Here we go.
SPEAKER 04 :
Hey, are you out of your mind? That car’s an antique. You think you can get away with this just because your mother’s off planet? You get your back home now. You live in my house, buddy. You live in my house and that’s my car. You get one scratch on that car and I’m going to whip your ass.
SPEAKER 14 :
Is there a problem, officer?
SPEAKER 24 :
Citizen, what is your name?
SPEAKER 14 :
My name is James Tiberius Kirk.
SPEAKER 16 :
James Tiberius Kirk.
SPEAKER 06 :
He runs the guy’s car off a cliff.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s funny.
SPEAKER 06 :
And what a scene, by the way, where he rolls out of the car and barely survives while he runs the car off a cliff. It was so well directed. I couldn’t believe it. Okay, you’re up.
SPEAKER 16 :
Another great F1 movie, by the way, which is not as good as the one that just came out, but pretty good movie is Rush.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Who was in Rush?
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, Thor. What’s Thor’s name?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Chris Hemsworth. He’s the driver. Right. Yeah. Okay. Well done. Well done. Okay. Let’s go to… I’ve got to say it. I’ve got clips, but I won’t do it. Mad Max, Fury Road. I know you hate the movie.
SPEAKER 16 :
They do race in that. There is Fast Cars in it. I’ll give you that.
SPEAKER 06 :
And it’s very… By the way, there’s no CGI, baby. No.
SPEAKER 16 :
It is all stunts. I’ll give you that. And it’s intense.
SPEAKER 06 :
All right, you’re up.
SPEAKER 16 :
All right, another movie with fast cars, but you don’t think of it this way, and it was one of my favorite movies when I was younger, Against All Odds.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, yeah. I hadn’t thought about that one.
SPEAKER 16 :
It’s actually a racing-type movie. I mean, kind of. I mean, it’s more of a romance, I guess, but there’s a lot of racing and stuff in it as well.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, and really quick here. This is one, and we’ll go to Joe. Go ahead. Just when you have to race two Asian guys where one of them talks like Howard Cosell, better off dead.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, yeah. You know what? I said that last week. I haven’t seen that yet.
SPEAKER 06 :
That is one of the dumbest comedies, but it’s very funny.
SPEAKER 16 :
I need to watch it. All right, Joe, you’re up. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, since you mentioned Jason Stratham, did anybody talk about the opening scene to Transport, the first Transporter movie? No, it’s on my list, but I haven’t got there yet.
SPEAKER 16 :
I was about to bring it up.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, it’s on your list. And how about does the name Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds ring a bell in my bodyguard?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yes. Yes. And Ryan Reynolds always chose the crappy cars.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right, guys. That’s all I got.
SPEAKER 16 :
All right, Joe. Appreciate you very much. Let me throw one in. Oh, we’re good on breaks. We’re fine. So we can just keep going. Uh, because it’s just a weird movie, but fast and just goofy Christine.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 16 :
The car with a, you know, came to life, whatever the personality, weird, you know, thriller.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, no. I got to go back to a very old movie that stars Dennis Weaver. Oh. And it was, oh, so you know this one. Oh, I do. Did you see this?
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, yeah. Many times. Duel. Mm-hmm. It was my dad’s favorite movie when I was a kid.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, I did not know this. Duel was a surprisingly good movie that people probably should rent.
SPEAKER 16 :
Very intense. That was literally one of my… Anytime that movie was on, because back then we didn’t have the ability to… And who directed it? I don’t remember. Spielberg. Oh, okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, it’s his first movie. Yeah, that’s what put him on the map, and boy, once he was on the map, he was on the map to stay.
SPEAKER 16 :
I mean, that movie was popular with my dad. And talk about a low budget. You didn’t have VCRs and any, I mean, if it was on, it was on, and you watched it because you didn’t have any other option at that point. There was no other way to go back and see it, so you just sat and watched.
SPEAKER 06 :
It was good.
SPEAKER 16 :
We all kind of, you know, young people have no idea how that works, Andy. You had to be home at a certain time to watch X, right?
SPEAKER 06 :
But what Spielberg did in that movie, because here was a guy you didn’t know anything about Spielberg, and he comes out and immediately the timing, the close-ups of the face, the desperation. Agree. You know what I mean? Agree. Because he’s got this truck that’s hunting him out in the desert. That’s right. And he’s trying to survive it. It’s incredible. And he has no idea why this guy is doing this.
SPEAKER 16 :
Not a lot of other actors in that movie.
SPEAKER 06 :
No. It’s very, very simple. And Dennis Weaver puts in an incredible performance. What a movie.
SPEAKER 16 :
It was a great movie. Absolutely. Okay. Another one from a listener, LeMond.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, that’s Steve McQueen, wasn’t it?
SPEAKER 16 :
Paul Newman and all them.
SPEAKER 06 :
Steve McQueen was so… Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 16 :
And he had a lot of great movies, by the way.
SPEAKER 06 :
And didn’t he drive in real life?
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes, he did. He did, actually.
SPEAKER 06 :
And didn’t Newman as well?
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes, he did. He owned a race team for a long time.
SPEAKER 06 :
Now, that I didn’t know.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes. So here’s a question, going back to Brad Pitt from the first hour. Is Brad Pitt more of Newman, or is he more Steve McQueen, who just didn’t do it as long?
SPEAKER 06 :
Brad Pitt reminds me more of Newman. The way he just aged into it. But once again, he did it longer. I guess that’s why I’m saying that, because a young Brad Pitt reminds me more of Steve McQueen.
SPEAKER 16 :
Right. And Steve McQueen, again, died at 50.
SPEAKER 06 :
Steve McQueen was Brad Pitt in his time, wasn’t he?
SPEAKER 16 :
In his time, he very much was.
SPEAKER 06 :
Geez, I never really thought about that. Yes.
SPEAKER 16 :
Okay, do we have time for another? Yeah, go ahead. No, yeah, we’re going to run all the way until we go to our last break.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, okay, okay. I’ve got to go with just a great car chase, the French Connection.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, I didn’t have that on my list. Oh, John. Yeah, good one.
SPEAKER 06 :
At the time, it set the standard. It totally reset the standard. for car chases i mean i’ll take that absolutely go ahead uh oh you did mad max i gotta cross that off hold on drive angry you had mad max fury road on your yeah because i knew you’d say it okay drive angry all right here’s a movie from a couple years ago that i gave a surprising four star review to i gave it one of the top probably seven or eight movies of the year gran turismo
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, yeah, it’s on my list. Yeah, I knew you’d say that one, too, so I put that on there.
SPEAKER 06 :
That was a fun movie.
SPEAKER 16 :
I did not see that movie. I need to see it.
SPEAKER 06 :
It did pretty well.
SPEAKER 16 :
I didn’t. Yeah, I need to. I didn’t see it.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, you’re up.
SPEAKER 16 :
Repo Man.
SPEAKER 06 :
Repo Man, yes. That was wrong. Now, here’s one you wouldn’t think about. Cobb. And the movie’s about Ty Cobb, and the reason I say it is there’s a scene where the guy who’s interviewing him is driving with Ty Cobb, who’s played by Tommy Lee Jones, and it’s an elderly Ty Cobb, driving in the snow in Mountain Roads. And it was terrifying. The way he was driving, and he was scaring the interviewer to death.
SPEAKER 16 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
So there you go, cop.
SPEAKER 16 :
Another movie that you don’t think much about with Tom Cruise because he’s a bad guy, but he’s a good bad guy if there is such a thing, Collateral.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, I hadn’t even thought about that. Yeah, he’s a good, you know, he’s a hitman, but he’s kind of a good hitman, if you would.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, here’s a clip from the trailer of a movie that had a great early scene car chase scene, Casino Royale. Yeah. Here we go.
SPEAKER 18 :
I will be keeping my eye on our government’s money and off your perfectly formed house.
SPEAKER 21 :
You noticed. I hope our little game isn’t causing you to perspire.
SPEAKER 18 :
It doesn’t bother you, killing those people?
SPEAKER 21 :
Well, I wouldn’t be very good at my job if it did. How’s our girl? Melted your cold heart yet? James, get the girl out.
SPEAKER 18 :
You’re not going to let me in there. You’ve got your armor back on.
SPEAKER 06 :
I have no armor left. That was a good movie. And that, you know, when he came along, he kind of reset the whole style of James Bond. I loved it.
SPEAKER 16 :
There you go. Somebody said Ronan. I don’t know Ronan. Oh, yeah. What is that? I don’t know that movie.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, that’s got, what’s his name? He’s gone wacko from Meet the Parents.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, De Niro?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 16 :
Okay. Never seen it. Somebody else mentioned, and it’s on my list as well. We’ll throw it out there anyways. Back to the Future, of course.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 88 miles an hour.
SPEAKER 16 :
88 miles an hour.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, here we go. Furiosa, a Mad Max saga. And Anya Taylor-Joy was tremendous in that movie.
SPEAKER 16 :
So there you go. Somebody also texted, and I did Rush already, but Grand Prix and I did Le Mans already, but Grand Prix is one we’ll add into that as well.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, really quick here. You did Dukes of Hazzard, right? Yes, I did. Okay, I’m going to do Starsky and Hutch.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, that’s a good one.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, absolutely. Which was a very dumb movie. Oh, but funny. Comedy, but there you go.
SPEAKER 16 :
No, no, that one counts. Okay, go ahead. Absolutely, Andy. Somebody has said, I don’t think, did we mention the Bourne movies? Did you say that?
SPEAKER 06 :
I mentioned one Bourne movie.
SPEAKER 16 :
Okay, I had a list that said you could pretty much go any Bourne movie with Speed and all of that. The other one would be Mission Impossible, which fits along the same lines.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, yeah. You know, a lot of the Mission Impossible ones, he’s on a motorcycle.
SPEAKER 16 :
But then they’re chasing him with cars usually. Oh, yeah. Which doesn’t usually end very well.
SPEAKER 06 :
What’s your favorite one? I like Rogue Nation a lot. That’s a really good one. I need to see the last one.
SPEAKER 16 :
I haven’t seen the last one yet, but really, I like them all. There’s one I don’t really like.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, he’s so good. Okay, how about Stroker Ace?
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, that was on my list. That’s an old one.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, that’s with Bird, isn’t it?
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah. Okay, go. How about The Great Race? It’s a funny movie, by the way. Yeah, it is a funny move.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, I’m going to go right back to 007 and Quantum of Solace.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, that’s a good one, Andy.
SPEAKER 06 :
Now, I’m sorry. I said that Casino Royale starts with car chase. It did not. I meant Quantum of Solace begins with a terrific car chase. So raw. It’s great.
SPEAKER 16 :
Okay. The Machinist.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, I did not think about that one. Thunder Road. Oh.
SPEAKER 16 :
Okay, and I’ve got, there’s actually a movie, and I have not seen the whole thing, but I’m going to still mention it anyway. It’s called NASCAR, and it’s all a movie about NASCAR.
SPEAKER 06 :
Really? I have not seen it. Yep. Okay, here’s one that, honestly, I didn’t like much, but a lot of people did. It was The Art of Racing in the Rain.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, I’ve not seen that. What didn’t you like about it?
SPEAKER 06 :
Eh, very touchy-feely. Very, you know… Because it’s the dog, right? Yeah, and, you know… Costner and… Live another life and… Reincarnated and all that, right? Reincarnation and all that.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, it’s kind of weird. I’m with you on that then.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. Okay, my… I’m a guy. That’s why I didn’t like it.
SPEAKER 16 :
My next one is Driven.
SPEAKER 06 :
Driven. Okay, then I’m going to go with Ryan Gosling and Drive.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, that’s right above that one. Good one. Yeah. Death Proof.
SPEAKER 06 :
Death Proof. Oh, yeah, was that Kurt Russell?
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, okay, got it, got it, got it.
SPEAKER 16 :
Old.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, let’s get old again. The Gumball Rally.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, it’s on my list. I was going to say that next. Yes, yes. You stole it from me.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 16 :
Road Warrior. Road Warrior.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, how about The Man with the Golden Gun? Another 007, and that had a really good one.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s a good one, too. Okay, one that we haven’t mentioned yet. You could probably pick which one, but Batman always had a fast car. Dark Knight. Oh, yeah! Gotta go with Batman! Batmobile’s always fast. I love that. Rocket-powered.
SPEAKER 06 :
I love the Batmobile. It’s so cool. There you go. What was the coolest Batmobile?
SPEAKER 16 :
Geez.
SPEAKER 06 :
They were all so cool.
SPEAKER 16 :
I like the bike better than the car. The motorcycle’s the coolest.
SPEAKER 06 :
Where it breaks off as a bike?
SPEAKER 16 :
Uh-huh.
SPEAKER 06 :
That was really cool.
SPEAKER 16 :
The motorcycle’s the coolest of the whole thing, just saying.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, and that was in the second one. That was with the Joker, right? Oh, that was so cool.
SPEAKER 16 :
That was one of the best ones, period.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, I think it was the best one just because of the performance of the Joker was incredible. Okay, I’m going to go another James Bond. No Time to Die had a terrific car race.
SPEAKER 16 :
We haven’t said this yet, and I’m surprised nobody has texted it yet. American Graffiti.
SPEAKER 06 :
oh that’s on my list i’m surprised no one has said it okay uh now did you bring up uh james garner and grand prix oh yes somebody i just mentioned that yes okay i thought i thought you mentioned really you mentioned grand prix because i thought you mentioned something else no that was from a listener okay well what about uh the love bug oh yeah it’s on my list that’s a racing movie there you go uh okay and it’s not a great movie but i’m gonna say it anyways ferrari Yeah, it was a slow movie.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, I only got through halfway of it and I had to stop it. Gotta give it honorable mention.
SPEAKER 06 :
I’m sorry, but I love the title of this movie once again because it was during the time when Lindsay Lohan was a falling down drunk. Herbie fully loaded. That’s so funny.
SPEAKER 16 :
Herbie fully loaded.
SPEAKER 06 :
And by the way, I think it’s terrible. I think it’s fantastic how she’s turned her life around and come out of that. But that was a rough time, and she liked the bottle at that time. I think it’s so wonderful that she’s turned her life around. So there you go.
SPEAKER 16 :
Okay, this one isn’t really necessarily racing, but they have to keep a certain speed or there’s a problem.
SPEAKER 06 :
Ah, yes, speed. Speed. I didn’t mention that one just because, what was it, 50?
SPEAKER 1 :
55.
SPEAKER 16 :
55. If it went below 55, it blew up. The bus blows up. Dennis Hopper is so great in that movie. Oh, gosh. I mean, they were all good, but so was he.
SPEAKER 06 :
Everybody was good, but he dominated. He did. He is one of the top 10, I would say, villains of all time, wouldn’t you say?
SPEAKER 16 :
I would agree with you on that. All right, take our last break. Roof Savers of Colorado coming up next. Dave Hart, if you have any storm damage at all, don’t look any further than Roof Savers. Do not call your insurance agent or company. Call Dave instead, 303-710-6916.

Michael Bailey Law, he is our mobile estate planner. He is mobile. That’s why he’s the mobile estate planner. Talk to Michael today. Just go to klzradio.com.
SPEAKER 23 :
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.
