John Rush, Andy Peth, and Richard Battle dive into a jam-packed Friday episode covering everything from California’s collapsing industries to NFL matchups overseas. They debate whether California can sustain its massive roster of professional sports teams as businesses and wealthy residents flee the state. Then, they go game-by-game through the upcoming NFL weekend, offering insights, predictions, and some sharp banter. In the second half, they unleash a rapid-fire list of the greatest dog and wolf movies of all time — from Arthur the King to Teen Wolf, Bolt, Up, and everything in between — complete with listener call-ins and
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 11 :
With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 06 :
My advice to you is to do what your parents did.
SPEAKER 21 :
Get a job first. You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same, and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 13 :
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 14 :
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 08 :
All right, second hour of Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Myself, Andy Pate. Richard, are you with us now? That I am. All right, Charlie Grimes, of course, our engineer. Andy, I know you’ve got a question for Richard before you get to pick, so go ahead.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, Richard, at the end of last hour, John was bringing up how Hollywood is collapsing. All the movie making is just leaving because of all the regulations, the labor costs and so forth. They are literally losing the movie industry entirely now. And that brings up how California is losing so many industries. Here’s my question. How long can they keep all these teams? And I’m talking in all the major sports, they’ve got so many teams, both in the Bay Area and in L.A., San Diego. How long can they keep this many teams in a state that’s falling apart?
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, they still have a lot of people, Andy, so I’m with you. It’s definitely not, as long as they have the people, although, again, I think you and I could, well, we could sit here and argue, you know, and we’d be positive arguing, which is the case that You know, they shouldn’t have two teams in L.A. They should have one. You know, I understand the Rams moving back. But even then, Andy, granted, the 49ers fans travel really well. But last night, man, there was some times where that sounded like a home game for the 49ers. Right. Which it’s a little bit easier to do when you are, you know, Bay Area up to L.A. But I’m with you, Andy. I don’t know. I mean, again, everyone gave the athletics a hard time, you know, on the baseball side of things for moving out. But, you know, Oakland, it’s what it is. I mean, I wouldn’t keep a team there. Me either. In Oakland, I know they say it’s the Bay Area. But the 49ers aren’t even the Bay Area, Andy. The 49ers are in Santa Clara, which is the suburbs, and it’s a lot fancier in Santa Clara than it is in the Bay Area.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, yeah, the 49ers.
SPEAKER 11 :
I don’t know.
SPEAKER 09 :
San Fran is basically Oakland with more sushi. OK, I mean, yeah, but but both of them are just overrun with crime. And anyway, I just wanted to ask you that because I’m wondering, can they continue? I know they’ve got the people, but do they have the money long term? They do for now. But so many people are leaving. And here’s the big thing, Richard. It’s people with money who are leaving California.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, especially those expensive suites and things of that nature. So I don’t know. Like you say, they do have lots of teams, and I understand why. But it’s probably a good conversation that these sports teams should be thinking about. And I think Crumpy would say they could because you’re in L.A. I mean, you’ve got more people there than a lot of states have, you know, total. So I think so, Andy, but I don’t think it’s as for sure of a thing as it used to be.
SPEAKER 09 :
I agree.
SPEAKER 11 :
All right, you ready?
SPEAKER 09 :
I am ready to go. All right, let’s kick it off. We’re going to start with the Minnesota Vikings. They are on the road at the Cleveland Browns. Vikings are favored by 3.5, and after losing to Aaron Rodgers, can the Vikings bounce back against a 1-3 Browns team?
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, 1-3 Browns team starting quarterback, Andy, but I believe this team is in London. Am I correct?
SPEAKER 09 :
I believe so.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yes, it is. Yeah, so they’re the road team, but they’ve actually been in London. Um, man, I just think the Browns, which by the way, I know they’re starting Dylan Gabriel and it’s something that they should have done a few weeks ago. And you and I called this, which they should be starting Gabriel for half the year and then should do it for half the year, whichever one performs better than you. You know, I don’t want to say invest in them, but if either of them shows promise, then you can use them going forward. But, um, Vikings are bangs up Andy. I think they’re in need of a bi-week, which I believe they have next week after two weeks in Europe. Um, I’m going to go with the Vikings here, and I know they kind of got smacked last week, like you said, but I just don’t think that Dylan Gabriel in his first start against the Brian Flores defense is going to.
SPEAKER 09 :
Now, I agree. I like the Vikings, too. The Browns, they’ve got defense, not enough offense. Next game, the Raiders, who are 1-3, but they’re a tough 1-3. You know, they play tough. They’re on the road at the Colts. Colts are favored by 6.5. Can Daniel Jones recover from last week’s loss? And by the way, another question here. Will Ashton Gentry ever see a hole? Ever? He gets buried every time he gets… What? What? He’s on some last week. That’s true. That’s true. So maybe he’ll start opening. What do you think?
SPEAKER 11 :
But maybe that offensive line is not good. I think I saw a stat that it’s within one and a half yards. per carry is when he’s getting hit on average per time. And like you said, the Colts and Jones, I think the Colts after playing the Broncos, I think they’re a better team, but I also think that Daniel Jones is going to come back to reality a little bit, which tends to happen, right? The totality of the NFL season, Andy, tends to lean more towards averages in a lot of cases, except for a few exceptions here and there. You know what, Andy? I’m going to go with – well, actually, if this game was at home for the Raiders, I would actually go with the Raiders because it’s there. But, again, traveling east, I think it’s an early game. I’m going to go with the Colts at home to get back on track.
SPEAKER 09 :
You know, I’m going to go with the Colts too, but I’ve got to ask you one last quick question. Ashton Genting, with that offensive line, is this becoming similar to Saquon Barkley with the Giants? Eventually he’s just going to have to move unless the Raiders get some offensive linemen.
SPEAKER 11 :
Andy, I have some hope they will because obviously that was Pete Carroll’s calling card in Seattle, right, with beast mode.
SPEAKER 09 :
Right.
SPEAKER 11 :
So I’m going to go out and say that I think that they’re a little bit – they’ll listen to their coach a little bit more and say that he does get some help, but I’m not sure that always helps. But that’s a conversation for another day.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay, I agree. Next game, the Giants. Here’s one not to watch. The Giants are on the road with the Saints. The Saints, 0-4, are actually favored. By two and a half. Should the Saints be favored over anyone? And what must Jackson Dart do to keep the magic going for New York?
SPEAKER 11 :
You know, Andy, I was going to say that. I don’t think that – I don’t know if I would have this being favored. Now, I also don’t think Jackson Dart is amazing. I mean, I know everyone’s talking about him, and he had a pretty good week one. But I don’t know if the Saints should be favored. I don’t feel like I’ve seen much out of them. to warrant being favored, and I think the Giants are a sneaky pick for me, Andy, because if they’re an underdog, I think they win outright, to be honest with you. They don’t even have to cover. As long as they win, they essentially cover.
SPEAKER 09 :
I’ll pick them with you.
SPEAKER 11 :
I’m going to go with the Giants here, Andy, and my main reason that I’m going to go with the Giants is I just think that they’re a better run organization. They have a little bit more of a complete team. Now, I’m not saying it’s a lot better. I just think the Saints are terrible, which we’ve talked about for several weeks now.
SPEAKER 09 :
I’m going to take the Giants, too, just because they’re not the Saints. That’s why I’m going to take the Giants. Next game. Oh, another ugly game. The Dallas Cowboys are on the road at the J-E-T-S. Jets, Jets, Jets. Cowboys favored by two and a half. Richard, the Jets have hit rock bottom.
SPEAKER 11 :
Have they?
SPEAKER 09 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 11 :
Is it still coming?
SPEAKER 09 :
Can it get worse?
SPEAKER 11 :
I don’t know if they’re quite there. I actually like Aaron Glenn as a coach for the Jets, and I actually like him as a coach. I think that he can do a good job, and I think that he will eventually get them turned around. We’re saying that. I don’t think it’s this year. I think the Cowboys are a little bit more exciting than most maybe give them credit for. I know you and I have had some conversations that maybe we’ll see if Jerry has proven right about old Parsons because their offense right now looks really, really good. So credit to them. I don’t think they get on track this week, Andy, and then they play my Broncos next week. in London, and so that’ll be an interesting game. The Jets do, yeah. So it could be two rough weeks, although they may score more points this week than they do next week, Andy. But I’m going to go with the Cowboys on the road, Andy. It’s just not going to be… The Jets just aren’t very good.
SPEAKER 09 :
No, they’re no good. I’ll take the Cowboys as well. By the way, your Broncos are kind of lucky. I mean, get Cincy, who I predicted the Broncos would beat by a minimum of 20. They did. And then after a couple weeks, they get the Jets. But this week, next game, the Broncos are on the road at the Philadelphia Eagles. Eagles are favored by four and a half. However… This is the first time the Broncos are going to face a team as talented as them. Is this upset time, or does Philly keep winning? Because Philly has not been that impressive. They’re 4-0, but it has not been a good-looking 4-0.
SPEAKER 11 :
So, Andy, my pick is going to not resemble my analysis. Okay. My pick, I’ll just say it. I’m going to pick the Eagles. Okay, I am too. The only reason… is because I hope that if I don’t succeed in this and I’m wrong, then that means I’m still happy because the Broncos will have won.
SPEAKER 09 :
There you go.
SPEAKER 11 :
I think the Broncos have as good of a chance as any of the Eagles. I think we talked about earlier with averages, right, and sort of the Colts coming back to where their baseline is. I feel like that’s going to be the case with the Eagles. Teams are figuring out Jalen Hurts. He doesn’t like that. zone coverage. They can be beat. Saquon’s kind of coming back to earth this year. However, the Eagles are still a really good team. They’re still going to make the playoffs. They’re going to have a chance to defend their Super Bowl title. I just think that this week they could be gotten. And I mean that just because the Eagles could be the same record as the Broncos, Andy, right?
SPEAKER 01 :
Two and two.
SPEAKER 11 :
They’ve won all of their games pretty closely. It’s taken some blocked field goals and The reason I’m not sure I want to pick the Broncos, Andy, is because the Eagles win on the margins, and that’s where the Broncos lose. They don’t win the close games, and the Eagles do.
SPEAKER 09 :
Agreed. I’ll go with the Eagles, too. Same reason, although Eagles could be 2-2, the Broncos could be 4-0. Look, this is two very, very good teams, but I’m going to take the Eagles because they’re the home team. Next game, Dolphins, who suddenly lit it up last week. They’re 1-3. They’re going against the Panthers, who lit it up two weeks ago. Dolphins are favored by a point and a half.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, Andy, Dolphins with no Tyreek Hill, which who is more happy about, the Dolphins or Tyreek Hill?
SPEAKER 09 :
I’m not sure. Not sure. That’s a good question.
SPEAKER 11 :
And I’ll be curious, Andy, because I’m not sure Tyreek, I mean, that was a gruesome injury for him. I’m not sure he comes back ever, to be honest. I know a lot of his agents talking about it and they’re able and all sorts of things, but… I will say, Andy, I like the Panthers. I know they struggled kind of to start this year. A lot of teams and a lot of people, I had some different expectations for them. And they haven’t quite lived up to them. But I think they will this week, Andy. I think the Dolphins will compete. And I think that they’ll play well. And I think it’s a close game. But I’m going to go with the Panthers at home.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, I’m taking them too. My gosh, we’re agreeing every game. Okay, in the next game, the Texans are awful. They’re on the road at the Ravens, who have not been very good either. The Texans are actually favored by one and a half because the Ravens are missing some very key players.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, the Ravens are, yeah, well, they’re missing some key players, Andy, and the Ravens are kind of, well, I should say Lamar is sort of coming back to earth a little bit, right, from this other, literally other, worldly orbit that he’s been in.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, that and let’s face it, their defense sucks. I mean, they got a bottom five defense right now in Baltimore. It’s awful. Ray Lewis would be churning over in his grave even though he’s not in his grave.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, he’s still – well, yeah, him and Ed Reed are both itching to come back at 40-plus years old and probably can add some – which is crazy, Andy, because they really have some good players. I know they’re down some injuries. But, man, at the start of the year, that wasn’t what you would expect, especially from a Harbaugh coached team. I’m still surprised, Andy, that – well, I guess to me the only reason the Ravens are not favored is because their backup, Cooper Rush, of the namesake Rush, is that way. And I just don’t know if he’s got enough and – You know what, Andy? I’ll take the Texans here only because I can’t take the Ravens without Lamar. Lots of injuries. I know that they’re at home. But maybe Andy, it actually forces them to rely on Derrick Henry like they should. You know what? Actually, I’m going to change that. I’ll take the Ravens at home because I think that they’re going to have to rely on Derrick Henry to get through this. And if they don’t, it could be really bad.
SPEAKER 09 :
I don’t like either team. I’m going to take the Texans. So, hey, we get to disagree once. Neither one of us is going to watch that game. I can guarantee you that. Next game, another one we won’t watch. The awful Tennessee Titans 0-4 on the road at the 2-2 Cardinals. Cardinals are favored by 7.5. Let me ask you this. Who’s headed for the top pick, New Orleans or Tennessee?
SPEAKER 11 :
I still think New Orleans, Andy, because I think that – but, man, the better question should be who’s headed to be fired first. And you could argue – I know he’s only in his – I think he’s only in his second year, Brian Callahan. He just seems like a guy who’s in over his head, and they – it’s just unfortunate, Andy, because I actually think he could be a good head coach potentially. Not with that team. Well, you are correct. So I actually think the Titans have some good talent, Andy. I think the Cardinals are a little bit more put together. just at least a little bit. They cover that spread. But I’ll go with the Cardinals at home.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, I agree. Okay, next game, game of the week probably. The Buccaneers are on the road at the Seahawks. They’re both 3-1. Seahawks favored by 3.5 at home.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, I would argue, Andy, it’s the Broncos and Eagles is probably the game of the week, and I’m not even sure why that’s not in the afternoon window. But, yeah, Andy, Sam Darnold playing pretty good this year so far, so so far so good there, and maybe proving that he’s worth that contract that he signed, even though it’s a short-term deal. I like Baker here, Andy. I still think the Seahawks, I think they’re a tough team, kind of the way that they always have been. But I think Baker, after losing to the Eagles the way that they did, they need to get back on track. So I’m going to go with the Buccaneers on the road.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay, and I’m going to take the Seahawks. I think the Russell Wilson trade is finally starting to pay off. You’re starting to see a base of talent there. They’re not great yet, but they’re getting better. Next game, okay, this is a wipeout. The Lions are facing the Bengals. Lions are favored right now by 9.5, which seems way too low. So you’re going to take the Lions, right?
SPEAKER 11 :
Yes. My only question for you, Andy, when do the Bengals – Do they just mail it in? I know they’re going to keep trying, but do they try to go? Because I don’t see a bona fide number one quarterback. I know we’re still young in the college football season. The Bengals need help offensively, especially if they’re going to keep Joe Burrow, or I should say offensive line, and I know there is some stud linemen coming out this next year. When do the Bengals just throw it in and just sit Jamar Chase? They just give up on it and try to go for it. They try to go for the number one pick.
SPEAKER 09 :
You know, they’ll wait a while because guys like Jamar want to keep playing. But the fact is, they’re done. Their season is done. They’re horrible. Right now, I would consider taking New Orleans over the Bengals if they played. They are that bad. They have nothing. And I agree with you. They’re going to take an O-lineman next week. Okay. Next year. The next game, the Chargers are hosting the Commanders. Now… This is going to be interesting because the commanders are a little, yeah, they’re getting their QB back, and the Chargers got upset last week, but the Chargers are favored by three and a half.
SPEAKER 11 :
This could be another sneaky pick for a good game of the week, Andy. Now, I will say the commanders are struggling a little bit more on defense than I anticipated. They played really well last year. This year they’re, again, coming back more to maybe where people expected them to be last year. But yeah, Jaden Daniels, fully healthy, or that’s what they’re saying at least. You know, Andy, I’m going to take the Chargers. Actually, you know what, Andy? Maybe you’ll take the Chargers. We have to different a few games. I’ll go Commanders here on the road, Andy. East Coast teams tend to do better traveling to the West than vice versa. So I’ll go with the Commanders here only because I think we got to differ on a few games, so that’s why.
SPEAKER 09 :
And I am going to take the Chargers. It’s coin flip, so I’ll take the home team Chargers. Next game, the Patriots. They are 2-2, surprisingly. They’re on the road with the Bills, who are 4-0, but it’s not a very effective 4-0. Bills favored by 8.5. Is this a blowout?
SPEAKER 11 :
Oh, not a very effective. I actually don’t think it’s a blowout, Andy. I think it’s a division game. I think the Patriots play the Bills tougher than most people think. With saying that, the Bills are going to win this game, and they’ll probably pull away late, and maybe they do cover the spread. But I think it’s close for a good portion of it, and I think that the Patriots have some really good pieces to work with. What do you think of Drake May? I think that he’s got potential, Andy. Do I see this trajectory of him being a top-ten quarterback in two years? No. But do I think that he has the potential to continue – you know, moving forward and moving up, yes, I do. There’s some spurts that I see within Andy that make me excited.
SPEAKER 09 :
I agree. I like him, but I’ll take the Bills as well. Last game, the Chiefs are favored by 3.5 on the road. At the Jaguars, the Jaguars are 3-1. But who have they played? No one? Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So they’re 3-1 against no one, but it’s not like the Chiefs have been that impressive, but they are playing better now. Do the Chiefs just go in there and keep resurging?
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, Andy. You know what? Maybe we’ll differ on this one, too. Well, you know what? Hopefully we differ because whatever team I take in, you have to be opposite so we can have a few games that are different. I’ll pick the opposite. I’m going to go with the Chiefs. For the same logic that I was picking the Eagles with earlier, which is to say, if I’m wrong, then it’s still okay because the Chiefs will have lost. So I’m going to go with the Chiefs on the road. Maybe they last week got them on the right path.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, that hurts. I didn’t want the Jags, but I’ll take them. I will take the Jaguars. John, we are done.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right. And good job, guys. I appreciate that very much. And I do my best to try to track you guys and see how accurate you are. I don’t do that every week, but I do my best.

All right, Kevin Flesch, he is my attorney. Would love to help you with any legal need that you have. 303-806-8886.
SPEAKER 24 :
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.

SPEAKER 09 :
Okay, I’m going to start off with one that I like. I keep trying to get people to watch it. I’m going to keep trying. Arthur the King. Here we go.
SPEAKER 11 :
And they found a companion.
SPEAKER 14 :
Daddy has a dog? What have you done?
SPEAKER 11 :
I think you found a new partner in suffering, Michael. Yeah, he’s the king.
SPEAKER 17 :
I think we should call Arthur. Arthur the King.
SPEAKER 26 :
How’s he doing?
SPEAKER 14 :
He’s been through so much. This dog needs a vet. I don’t want you to hurt anymore. He’s a fighter.
SPEAKER 26 :
Just like you.
SPEAKER 17 :
Ah, famous dog. Looks even worse than the rest of you. Maybe you all deserve each other. Always underestimating armor, buddy.
SPEAKER 11 :
This isn’t the route on the map. It’s okay. Just follow Arthur. Lead the way, King.
SPEAKER 26 :
I’ve never seen anything like this.
SPEAKER 14 :
Everybody knows about it. Guess what? I’m not a dog person.
SPEAKER 09 :
Arthur the King, that stars, of course, Mark Wahlberg. I challenge anyone to not like Mark Wahlberg. It’s like not liking Denzel. You can’t do it.
SPEAKER 08 :
Great movie, by the way.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, I agree. I really enjoyed it. Okay, Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 11 :
Oh, good. I haven’t seen that one, Andy. That’s a good movie, Richard.
SPEAKER 08 :
You’d like it.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay, good to know. Is it okay for kids? Absolutely.
SPEAKER 08 :
It’s a great movie.
SPEAKER 09 :
I will say it’s a little slow through the middle, but I liked it. I really enjoyed it. Very heartwarming.
SPEAKER 08 :
Good movie.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 11 :
Perfect. Good to know. All right, I’m going to go with, Dad, you’ll probably guess this one. You’re one of my favorites slash hatedest movie as a kid, Homeward Bound.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, yeah. Yep.
SPEAKER 11 :
That’s a fun movie. Good old Shadow Chance. And we won’t count Sassy because, you know, she’s a cat. That doesn’t count.
SPEAKER 08 :
That was a great movie. It really was, actually.
SPEAKER 11 :
Good job.
SPEAKER 08 :
Let’s see here. Man, there’s so many. How about Hachi, A Dog’s Tale?
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, that’s actually very well made.
SPEAKER 08 :
Good movie.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay, I’ve got to do this speech every time that I get a chance to just because I love it too much. Here we go. John Wick talking about his dog.
SPEAKER 12 :
Just a dog. When Ellen died, I lost everything. Until that dog arrived on my doorstep. A final gift from my wife. In that moment, I received some semblance of hope.
SPEAKER 14 :
And your son took that from me. Stole that from me. Killed that from me! People keep asking if I’m back. And I haven’t really had an answer. But now, yeah, I’m thinking I’m back.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’m thinking I’m back.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, yeah. Don’t kill this guy’s dog. Richard, I want to warn you, do not kill John Wick’s dog.
SPEAKER 11 :
You’ve been warned. The fatal mistake they made was they could have taken the car. Probably okay with it. Oh, yeah. You don’t take a man’s dog.
SPEAKER 09 :
No, you don’t take the dog. Absolutely. Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, I mean, again, for some people, you can even kill their spouse or whatever it is. Don’t kill the dog. That’s funny. Whatever it might be. All right, I’m going to go with, again, one of my favorite books growing up, and it was made into a movie, so it counts, which is White Fang. Oh, yeah, good one, good one.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, that’s a good movie.
SPEAKER 09 :
Go ahead, John.
SPEAKER 08 :
Dances with Wolves. Dances with Wolves. Slow but good. Slow but good. Very good. You can read a book during that movie, by the way.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
Probably finish it.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay, here’s one where you got several great actors, but the greatest actor was obviously Little Dog in As Good As It Gets.
SPEAKER 1 :
Oh, yeah. Good one.
SPEAKER 17 :
You have missed your last floor. Have you seen my dog with the little face? Uh-oh. You have no idea what your work means to me. How do you write women so well? I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability. Melvin, wait!
SPEAKER 02 :
Melvin, wait!
SPEAKER 15 :
Shut up, kids! Definitely a package you don’t want to open or touch.
SPEAKER 02 :
Pay me a compliment, Melvin. I need one. Quick. I love you.
SPEAKER 17 :
You make me want to be a better man.
SPEAKER 20 :
Good answer. That’s maybe the best compliment of my life.
SPEAKER 17 :
From Academy Award winner James L. Brooks. Well, maybe I overshot a little because I was aiming it just enough to keep you from walking out. Okay.
SPEAKER 09 :
Jack Nicholson, one of his great performances. He was incredible. But the dog jumping over the cracks on the sidewalk, I’m afraid, was the best actor. That was good, too. Yep. Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 11 :
All right, there wouldn’t be a dog selection if I didn’t do a, you know, a sad one where we all know what happens and you cry more in these movies than you do in anything else, or at least I do because, like in death, you know what I mean? I have more of a heart for dogs than anything else. Marley and me.
SPEAKER 08 :
Marley and me. Yeah.
SPEAKER 09 :
That’s sad. Terrible. Terrible. It is. You know, after the movies, and you didn’t listen to Hour One after this week, I don’t want to see a sad movie for three months.
SPEAKER 11 :
I’m just saying, well, you know what, Andy? Like I said, lots of things can happen to lots of people, but you start killing pets, you know, John Wick style, then we got problems.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, it’s rough. It’s rough. I couldn’t watch it. John, you’re up.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right, I’m going to go back in time because I think I saw all the Lassie movies, so I’ll pick one. Lassie Come Home. Yep. I think literally as a kid I watched every Lassie movie there was.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, yeah. I watched them all.
SPEAKER 08 :
They were all great. They were great. They were great movies.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay, here’s one that’s sad and happy, and it’s Megan Levy.
SPEAKER 26 :
Mom! You can’t let your whole life fall apart over some dog. That dog saved my life. Please just change his classification so that I can adopt him when he gets back.
SPEAKER 12 :
They aren’t pets. They’re warriors.
SPEAKER 27 :
Senators, can I just have a moment of your time? His name is Rex. He saved thousands of lives in Iraq. What did you say your name was? Corporal Megan Levy.
SPEAKER 17 :
All you gotta do is fight. Then you know how to fight. You’re a Marine.
SPEAKER 26 :
What would you say to Rex if he were here? I’d thank him for teaching me what love is. Is there a way? Not a bad little flick.
SPEAKER 09 :
I enjoyed it. Yeah. I think you would really enjoy it, John. I’ve never seen it. I think it’s your kind of movie. And it’s a woman who’s in the military and her dog finds mines. And she gets a dog that’s so mean nobody could work with it. And it’s a real good story. I liked it. Okay, Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 11 :
All right. Got to go much lighthearted. This is a silly movie. Not a great movie. But, again, if you’re looking for a nice, fun kid movie, which I know some of you are, a lot of you aren’t, but that’s okay. Don’t judge me. Cats and Dogs, Andy. Yeah.
SPEAKER 09 :
I thought it was fun. Cats are evil, aren’t they? I think we can agree.
SPEAKER 11 :
Cats are evil, and we know the dogs are the super whatever you want to call them.
SPEAKER 09 :
Absolutely. Cats are evil. Dogs are good. John, do you agree? That’s right.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay. You’re up.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, I can’t remember the name, but you reviewed this not long ago. What’s the one where the dog lives in the really bad house, and the guy is super mean to him, and he ends up dropping him off downtown, and he meets the other strays? Is it called Strays? Was that the name of the movie?
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s called Strays, and kids, do not watch Strays.
SPEAKER 08 :
No, do not watch that movie.
SPEAKER 09 :
Richard, you will not show Strays to your kids.
SPEAKER 08 :
No, you cannot, but it is a good movie. It’s funny. It’s hilarious, actually.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, Strays starred Will Ferrell and Jamie Foxx, and it is totally wrong.
SPEAKER 08 :
You cannot watch it with kids.
SPEAKER 11 :
Andy, I want you to know, my dad used to be the type where we could not watch a movie until he watched it, that sort of a thing. And now I basically just know whatever movie he suggests, here to never have my children watching yeah because i don’t have to do that anymore kids are gone yeah your dad is now whatever you say you just have changed to where you know you just like to fill your mind with filth apparently you know you know in star wars we call it going over to the dark side there you go and the dark side is very very attractive that’s hilarious all right stay the least with him my goodness all right stewart you’re up go ahead
SPEAKER 10 :
Hey, guys. Good afternoon.
SPEAKER 08 :
Good afternoon.
SPEAKER 10 :
Afternoon. And happy Friday. Hey, I got a couple movies for you. All right. One is a wolf movie with Liam Nelson. I don’t know if you mentioned it. It’s called The Grey.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay. Hang on. I’ve got a preview. Here we go.
SPEAKER 15 :
Nobody’s going to find us. Not here. We figure out one way or the other. Let me start walking.
SPEAKER 19 :
This will be one of those wild stories you tell at a party. Yeah.
SPEAKER 12 :
I’ll stare right back at him.
SPEAKER 14 :
If we can get to that tree line, we can better defend ourselves.
SPEAKER 1 :
Go! Go! Go! Hold on!
SPEAKER 19 :
You gotta be kidding me. We can climb down. If we follow the river, we got a better chance of finding shelter. How are we gonna deal with this? We take them on, one at a time.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, I remember with Liam, you know, lecturing one of the wolves. I have a particular set of skills.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, there you go.
SPEAKER 10 :
Totally scared him. My movie film that was in Smithers, British Columbia. My daughter lives up there.
SPEAKER 20 :
Oh, cool.
SPEAKER 10 :
And she used to run into them all at the local establishments, you know, having dinner and drinks. Oh, cool. She was really cool. And then the other movie… is the thing when it opens up.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, I forgot about that.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
And they’re in the helicopter. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you’re right. And the red helicopter chasing the wolf or whatever it is.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, no, I think it was a wolf. You’re right. Good job, sir. Good job. Yeah, that counts. Good job, Stuart. You bet. You bet. Have a good weekend. Thank you very much. All right, Andy, take it away.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay, well, we did a movie with The Rock today. Let’s do another one where he plays Crypto in DC League of Super Pets. Here we go.
SPEAKER 10 :
I have an owner, and he’s Superman. Let me just turn that out. They should call me Iron Man.
SPEAKER 19 :
No. My dog’s the best, but he’s not the greatest with other animals. What is new with you, fellow normal dog?
SPEAKER 14 :
I bit the FedEx guy the other day. Who was he working for? General Zod? The Legion of Doom?
SPEAKER 12 :
FedEx. Of course. The Federation of Exes. Not to be trusted.
SPEAKER 07 :
What is taking my owner so long?
SPEAKER 09 :
He just wants to get away.
SPEAKER 08 :
That’s funny.
SPEAKER 09 :
I thought The Rock was really funny in DC League of Super Pets, and I believe it was a very underrated cartoon. Did you ever see it, Richard?
SPEAKER 11 :
I never saw that one. It was on the list, Andy, but I never ended up doing it. It’s fun. There you go. You’re up. All right, so a similar one, Andy. You got me. I was going to go with that one, but I’ll just switch that, which is Secret Life of Pets 2. Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 09 :
That’s a fun movie. Yeah. Those are fun. Good job.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, I like that one. John, you’re up. I’ve got to write that one down. Hang on. Secret Life of Pets 2? What about Pets 1? Correct.
SPEAKER 11 :
Correct. I mean, they’re both, I would say, I mean, they’re both good. They’re just put Secret Life of Pets.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
Somebody just called in and there was actually a one and a two of this as well. The Fox and the Hound. We’ll do one and two both. Throw them in there.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah. I like the Fox and the Hound.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah. Good one.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay. A little music here from Bolt. Good movie.
SPEAKER 25 :
How the wind blows.
SPEAKER 09 :
That was such a good movie. It was a good movie.
SPEAKER 08 :
It really was.
SPEAKER 09 :
I mean, the characters, everything, it had a great pace, excellent writing, all of it. If you have not seen Bolt, folks, you can rent that for any age group.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yep, great movie.
SPEAKER 09 :
All right, Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 08 :
Absolutely.
SPEAKER 11 :
Ranted, Andy. Come on, man. Where are you at with Disney Plus here these days? Let’s go.
SPEAKER 09 :
My bad. Just go to Disney Plus. Exactly. You are up. No kidding. Just saying.
SPEAKER 11 :
All right. Let’s see here, Andy. Let’s go on the list. Oh, did you do the Channing Tatum one, dog?
SPEAKER 09 :
I have not. It’s on the list, but I have not done it. Good one. I was going to say, there you go. I like Channing Tatum.
SPEAKER 11 :
Not that I do. I do shows. Again. I mean, not my favorite movie if we’re picking ones to enjoy, but it’s a good film you need to see.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, quick question, though. Does your wife mistake you with Channing Tatum a lot? I mean, does she call you Channing?
SPEAKER 11 :
Andy, that is a secret that we can’t discuss at this juncture.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay, we can’t. Later.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’ll throw this one in. We’ll get Joe, then we’ll do a quick break, come back, get things finished up. Balto.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
That’s a good one. Good movie. All right, let’s take Joe, and then we’ll go to break. Go ahead, Joe.
SPEAKER 07 :
Andy, I know you do not have this one on your list. The Bourne Legacy with Jeremy Renner. I don’t. Well done, sir. You remember early on in the movie, his bosses at the CIA are trying to kill him. He’s got the tracking device in his leg, and he captures a wolf. He goes hand-to-hand with the wolf, and he cuts out the tracking device. What’s it in the wolf?
SPEAKER 09 :
I can’t remember.
SPEAKER 07 :
And makes the wolf swallow the tracking device, because when they go to kill him, they’ve got a drone with infrared. and the drone is tracking now. They’re looking for a moving target, and the wolf now has his tracking device, and they think they’ve killed him because they shot the wolf with the drone.
SPEAKER 09 :
I actually forget the scene, but I love Jeremy Renner, so I don’t care.
SPEAKER 08 :
Great movie, Joe. Yes.
SPEAKER 07 :
Good job. And here’s what cooking. Coyote ugly. Oh, jeez. Come on. All right, Joe.
SPEAKER 08 :
Coyote ugly. All right, we’ll take a quick break. We’ll come right back. Al Smith did a great interview of late. Stay tuned. We’ll be right back. KLZradio.com is where you find him.
SPEAKER 04 :
TJ here with KLZ and Al Smith of Golden Eagle Financial. And Al, I have a question for you. I’ve been putting money away for a while in a savings account or maybe a couple of investment accounts, but what am I doing wrong and what can you do better than that?
SPEAKER 23 :
Well, I think a savings account is important because all the financial gurus, including myself, agree you should have three to six months savings that you have ready liquid access to. But retirement planning is a bit more long-term and And it’s a bit more strategic. We want to take a look at the sum of money you’ll need way into the future. And we want to look at how that money can last by providing you income for as long as you live.
SPEAKER 04 :
What kind of planning or strategy do you provide for folks with that that have a big savings but haven’t made that next step?
SPEAKER 23 :
Well, that’s a good question. If someone has a large amount in savings, one of the things I do is we have a conversation about their risk tolerance. Nobody’s comfortable losing money, but having money in the market over a long period of time is a mechanism to accumulate wealth. And so we talk about the different levels of risk and the different products that are available. And we don’t put everybody into one box, but I have an enormous assortment of financial products. And it’s not that there’s good ones or bad ones. It’s there are some that are more appropriate for some people, but not for others.
SPEAKER 04 :
And that sounds excellent. How can folks get in touch with you for that meeting?
SPEAKER 23 :
You can reach me at 303-744-1128. And if I’m not there, it goes to voicemail, but I return my voicemails promptly. And we could have a conversation in the office. If you live a considerable distance away, we can have a long phone conversation or a Zoom call, whichever you would prefer.
SPEAKER 04 :
And as always, you can find him at klzradio.com slash money. Al, thanks so much for joining us today.
SPEAKER 23 :
Well, thank you, TJ. Thanks for the conversation.
SPEAKER 04 :
You bet.
SPEAKER 16 :
Live and local, back to Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right, Andy, take it away. Another full round.
SPEAKER 09 :
Let’s go. Okay, Tim Allen in the shaggy dog. Here we go.
SPEAKER 18 :
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Is that me? I’m not a dog. I’m clearly in a dream. Just got to wake up. All right, I’m a dog. Last night I turned into a dog. Then I turned back into being human. He can’t ignore it.
SPEAKER 26 :
Objection, Your Honor. Mr. Douglas. Did you just growl at opposing counsel?
SPEAKER 18 :
He can’t control it. How’s football going? Seeing the world from a new perspective. Hey, what are you doing in my daughter’s bedroom? Go fetch, boy. I’m not your boy, and I’m not going to go.
SPEAKER 09 :
Hey, I’ll be right back. His opening is up.
SPEAKER 08 :
Good movie.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, it was a lot of fun. Well, Tim Allen is just so perfect for it. Oh, he’s hilarious. Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 11 :
I don’t think we’ve mentioned this one yet, but it’s, again, dog owners, or you love them, especially if you have this breed. Not sure I would have this breed, but it is what it is. Beethoven. Beethoven.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, yeah. Big slobbery dogs. Major slobber.
SPEAKER 11 :
Big old slobbery slobber, but the lovable, you know, whatever you want to call it.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, they are so fun to pet. They really are.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, I’ve got to throw this one in there, Old Yeller.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh.
SPEAKER 08 :
You love the sad movies, my gosh. The kid has to feed his own dog, sorry.
SPEAKER 11 :
Sad movie, yeah. We’re going extra sad.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, they should have said that when they got here.
SPEAKER 11 :
Go kill him.
SPEAKER 09 :
Should have said that. Be up front with your kid when you get the dog. Just so you know, I’m going to need you to shoot this thing.
SPEAKER 08 :
At some point in time, yes.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, it’s coming.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right, Alex and Littleton, you’re next. How about the movie Up?
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, great movie, by the way. Excellent.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, that’s a good movie.
SPEAKER 09 :
I have just met you, and I love you.
SPEAKER 08 :
And I love you.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s so great.
SPEAKER 08 :
Great movie. Wonderful.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yep, good job, Alex.

Half man, half dog. I’m my own best friend. I just love John Candy.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’m my own best friend.
SPEAKER 09 :
Any chance to play John Candy? Richard, you are up.
SPEAKER 11 :
All right, Andy, another. Oh, my kids would be remiss. I can’t believe we haven’t said this one yet because it is fantastic. Air Bud.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, that’s a good one.
SPEAKER 11 :
So good. Whether it’s the basketball, football, baseball got a little carried away, but hey, it is what it is.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s fun.
SPEAKER 08 :
Good job. John? This one came in from a listener. Call of the Wild on my list as well.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, yeah. Classic. That’s with Harrison Ford?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay, here we go. Turner and Hooch with… Yeah, good one.
SPEAKER 19 :
Finally had the perfect relationship.
SPEAKER 04 :
So you’ll be staying another night? Oh, yes, of course!
SPEAKER 19 :
When something big happened to change it. Something called… We don’t know much about dogs, do you? This is not my dog. Now he’s being swept off his feet and dragged all over town.
SPEAKER 25 :
What are you doing to this dog? I’ll just take him for a walk.
SPEAKER 19 :
All in the name of love. This dog loves you, boy.
SPEAKER 08 :
Doesn’t he eat the headrest in the car and stuff?
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
Tears it all up.
SPEAKER 09 :
Tom Hanks is funny. Oh, yeah. I thought so. Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 11 :
I was going to say, you had your worst nightmare.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, I know.
SPEAKER 11 :
Dogs Let Wild. All right, this is kind of like White Fang, but it’s a Disney adaptation. Iron Will.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, yeah, great movie.
SPEAKER 09 :
Kevin Spacey was in that.
SPEAKER 08 :
That was a great movie.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay, John, you’re up.
SPEAKER 08 :
He was a reporter in that movie.
SPEAKER 09 :
Exactly.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yep. Let’s do this. How about going back to dog movies? Snow Dogs.
SPEAKER 09 :
Snow Dogs. Didn’t that have Cuba?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, it was a good movie.
SPEAKER 09 :
I like him. Okay, I got more clips, but we don’t have time, so I’m going to go to the Peanuts movie with Snoopy. Oh, sure.
SPEAKER 08 :
That counts.
SPEAKER 09 :
Peanuts movie, by the way, is a very good cartoon, very charming. Okay, Richard, you’re up.
SPEAKER 11 :
You know, Dad, that Snow Dog one is better than the Paul Walker movie. Yeah, I agree. At least in that, which speaking of which, I guess I’ll do that one. Eight Below.
SPEAKER 09 :
Eight Below.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yep, Eight Below. Because that one, terrible.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, it’s not great.
SPEAKER 11 :
It’s really good. I mean, it’s good, but, you know, again, dogs don’t like it. But Cuba, you know, much better, much better.
SPEAKER 09 :
I agree.
SPEAKER 08 :
John? How about, okay, you already did Turner and Hooch. I got to cross that one off. Did somebody do Secret Life of Pets? Did one of you do that? I think you did.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, that was me. He did Secret Life of Pets 2, so I guess that counts.
SPEAKER 08 :
No, let me throw Benji in then. So let’s do Benji.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay, you’re doing Benji.
SPEAKER 08 :
Benji.
SPEAKER 09 :
In that case, I’m going to do that little cartoon that surprised everybody last year. It was mainly about a cat, but the second character was a dog, Flo.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, okay.
SPEAKER 09 :
And it’s surprisingly good. Okay, Richard, you’re up.

Let’s do the Jungle Book. Pick one.

All right, Michael Bailey, he is our mobile estate planner. Talk to him today about your estate. Get everything in order. Find him at klzradio.com.
SPEAKER 22 :
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.
