This is Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 15 :
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 18 :
With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 16 :
My advice to you is to do what your parents did.
SPEAKER 11 :
Get a job first. You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 02 :
Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What you know you can’t explain. But you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life. That there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is. But it’s there. It is this feeling that has brought you to me.
SPEAKER 20 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush. Presented by Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning.
SPEAKER 07 :
Actually, it’s Andy Pate. Party of choice. And welcome to our number two here on Rush to Reason. I’m Andy Pate filling in for John Rush along with Luke Cash and Tanner Cole. That was very manly. You know what? Usually you can’t keep up with Luke. But, I mean, none of us can.
SPEAKER 08 :
You know, you’re pulling your weight now.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, you’re doing all right.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’m so proud of you.
SPEAKER 07 :
We raised him well, didn’t we?
SPEAKER 08 :
I think so.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, I think so. Okay, this hour we are going to be doing favorite sitcoms. Do you watch a lot of sitcoms? I do.
SPEAKER 08 :
I don’t. I don’t. I watched them when I was younger, so I got a lot of cartoon sitcoms or Nickelodeon sitcoms from when I was 10.
SPEAKER 07 :
Nickelodeon sitcoms?
SPEAKER 09 :
Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, they had some sitcoms, yeah. That’s kind of all it was for young teens and teenagers.
SPEAKER 07 :
See, all I know is all the Nickelodeon and Disney girls are all messed up. well yeah i mean they’re on crack they are you know protesting with their heads shaved all i did was watch the show and i turned out all right it’s not my fault yeah then you did okay after that okay well let’s jump right in and the most long running what’s the longest running sitcom ever
SPEAKER 08 :
Are live action or including cartoons? It’d have to be like The Simpsons.
SPEAKER 07 :
It is The Simpsons. I do believe. Isn’t it, Charlie? Yeah. And I’m going to go to The Simpsons right now. And I’ve played this before, but I’ve got to play it because Luke is here.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, thank you.
SPEAKER 07 :
Homer buys a gun. Here we go.
SPEAKER 19 :
I’d like to buy your deadliest gun, please. Aisle 6, next to the sympathy cards.
SPEAKER 1 :
Hmm.
SPEAKER 19 :
Whoa, careful there, Annie Oakley. I don’t have to be careful. I got a gun. Well, you’ll probably want the accessory kit. Holster. Oh, yeah. Bandolier. Baby. Silencer. Loudener. Speed cocker. Ooh, I like the sound of that. And this is for shooting down police helicopters. Oh, I don’t need anything like that. Yet. Just give me my gun. Sorry, the law requires a five-day waiting period. We’ve got to run a background check. Five days? But I’m mad now. I’d kill you if I had my gun. Yeah, well, you don’t.
SPEAKER 07 :
it’s so good i tell you oh my gosh that show when it first came out it was just shocking it was on fox and it kind of that was a show that almost made the fox network It just launched it. What do you think?
SPEAKER 08 :
I believe it. Luke, you’re up. Speaking of believing it, would you believe if I told you I’ve never seen a single episode of The Simpsons? Are you serious? I’ve seen clips in parts and pieces, but never a single episode start to finish. Why?
SPEAKER 09 :
I’m close to that. I’ve seen a million clips.
SPEAKER 07 :
Look, guys, I understand. It’s old stuff. It’s before your time. Okay, I’m just going to clue you in. There’s this thing called reruns.
SPEAKER 08 :
Hurons? Yes. Ew, disgusting. Want something old? Yes. Never. Old stuff is classic.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay. Tell me the new stuff. So basically every show you guys mention, I will never have heard.
SPEAKER 08 :
No. Well, probably. Okay. Like 50%. All right. I’ve got some classics on here. I’ve just seen some of the good ones.
SPEAKER 07 :
I just want to know some of the shaved head protester, you know, meth freak Nickelodeon kids.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay. Well, I’ll go to Nickelodeon first, and this one’s for you, Tanner. Okay. This one goes out to you. Big Time Rush. Oh, dang it. I wanted that one.
SPEAKER 07 :
I knew you wanted it. You got to explain it to the old guy.
SPEAKER 09 :
It was not that great, but it was kind of funny. And being like 12, 13, I think, when it came out, it’s just this group of four guys in a band, and they’re kind of all idiots. But they run around in this stupid lifestyle kind of… Yeah, it’s very like…
SPEAKER 08 :
They’re starting a boy band, and if any 13-year-old kid has ever had the fantasy of, like, I want to be a music star, it was that. And it was just all them getting up to wacky hijinks. You know what? Believe it or not, saw Big Time Rush live, Del Mar Fair. Like 2012 or something like that. They had a big hit. I can’t remember what it was.
SPEAKER 07 :
First of all, I’m just adjusting to Luke saying the words boy band. Yeah. Okay. That doesn’t seem you.
SPEAKER 08 :
No, it wasn’t. It was my brother Jake’s thing at the time. Was it really?
SPEAKER 07 :
I thought boy bands were girls things.
SPEAKER 08 :
No, if you wanted to be a rock star, if you wanted to drive fancy cars and have cool clothes and do all that fun stuff, same.
SPEAKER 09 :
It was actually pretty funny, if I remember right.
SPEAKER 08 :
They had some pretty highbrow jokes about the industry snuck in there every now and then.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, you’ve changed my mind. I think maybe me, John, and Charlie, we could try this. I don’t think you should.
SPEAKER 08 :
You don’t think so? No. No, no, I think we’re good.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay, we won’t go down that road. Okay, what was it again?
SPEAKER 08 :
Big Time Rush. Big Time Rush. Big Time Rush. Nickelodeon, shout out.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay, now that he’s taken that, Tanner, do you have any left? Or will you be silent for the rest of the hour?
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, I got a million. But I’m going to go with one of my more favorites as a teenager. Parks and Recreation. Oh.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, that was a fun one.
SPEAKER 09 :
So funny. Chris Pratt was great in it. The Indian actor as well was hilarious.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, you actually, is that Kamal Nanjiani? I think so.
SPEAKER 09 :
He got canceled, I believe, is the one who got in trouble. But he was so funny in the show.
SPEAKER 07 :
I love Kamal Nanjiani. He kills me. He really does. Did you ever see Stuber, the movie?
SPEAKER 09 :
Almost. You’ve told me I watch it.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, he’s in it with Dave Bautista.
SPEAKER 09 :
That sounds funny.
SPEAKER 07 :
Folks, if you’ve not seen Stuber, I’m going to tell you right now, not a great movie, but I had fun. It’s stupid fun. Very much stupid fun. It’s worth watching.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, it was Aziz Ansari. Sorry.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, Aziz Ansari. I like him.
SPEAKER 09 :
He’s so funny.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, he’s funny. Okay, up next is John and Cheyenne. John, do you have any sitcoms?
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, I got two favorites, Andy.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 10 :
I could watch them. To this day, I’ll watch them if I can find them on. And the first one is, of course, the legendary Jackie Gleason in The Honeymoors. Him and Art Carney just… You know, the jokes never got old.
SPEAKER 07 :
They didn’t… And, I mean, they were so classic that you had shows copying them for decades afterward.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, the Flintstones, they were going to get sued because they said the Flintstones copied the Honeymooners.
SPEAKER 07 :
Did you ever see the episode on Moonlighting where they did the Honeymooners?
SPEAKER 10 :
Yes. Yes. It was pretty funny in itself.
SPEAKER 07 :
What blew my mind is because on The Honeymooners, Bruce Willis was the funny one always, right? And what’s her name? I forget the name of the actress on The Honeymooners. Sybil Shepard. Sybil Shepard. Okay. But Sybil Shepard was deadpan perfect in her delivery of The Honeymooners. She was perfect. She was right on. It blew my mind.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, Audrey Meadows… had the comedic timing against gleason yeah onto his sign yeah i mean she was a straight man ultimate straight man ultimate straight man she set him up and he laid it down it was perfect oh and you know do you ever see that meme which one that’s out there there’s a meme of two astronauts and they’re looking down at a dead woman in 50s clothes and they go oh my god it’s alice crammed it
SPEAKER 07 :
No, I’m afraid I missed that meme. Sorry, John.
SPEAKER 10 :
That’s a pretty funny one.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay, well, what’s another sitcom?
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, my other favorite is The Odd Couple.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, yes! Jack Klugman, Tony Randall.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh. And what’s funny is if you go back and watch the movie version of it, because it was a Neil Simon play. Yeah, it was. And the movie version of it is very funny.
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon. Yeah, Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon.
SPEAKER 10 :
But here’s the funniest thing. I read this in a book. In the original Broadway version of that, it was Art Carney and Walter Matthau in the Broadway version. And Art Carney played the Oscar role.
SPEAKER 07 :
Really? Walter Matthau played the neat freak? Yes. You’ve got to be kidding me.
SPEAKER 10 :
On the Broadway version of it. And that was late 50s, early 60s. But, you know, they don’t… Here’s the thing. If you watch a sitcom today, they make their jokes off of a lot of sexual innuendo. Sure. And a lot of the old sitcoms, they were funny without the innuendo. You know what I mean? Right. Because they were funny. Now they’re going for cheap laughs through sexual innuendo. So there’s not many good ones. The other one I always enjoyed, and I’m probably going to steal it from somebody newer, is Big Bang Theory.
SPEAKER 07 :
I think Big Bang Theory is pretty funny. What do you think, Luke?
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, it’s very funny. I’ve seen a couple clips, and I remember enjoying some time with it.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, I got a friend in Kansas City. His name is Andrew. We used to manage movie theaters together, and that was his show. I mean, oh, yeah, he had to see Big Bang Theory. He talked about it all the time. There were two things in the world that mattered to Andrew Armstrong. One, Star Trek. And I still know him today. I know him online. He builds little models of the Enterprise. And all the phasers and everything. Oh, yeah, but he just loves it. It’s really cool. He gets into it. But also, he loved the Bing Bang Theory. He just loved it.
SPEAKER 08 :
People were obsessed with it for a long time.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, it’s funny. And if you look at the… Yeah. Well, I won’t steal anymore. There’s probably other people going to call in. So you guys have a great weekend. Enjoy your Independence Day, Andy, guys.
SPEAKER 07 :
Happy Independence Day, John. You take care. Nah, he used them all. I’m out. What do you think? Do you got any?
SPEAKER 09 :
Never seen the Big Bang Theory because I’m not a nerd.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, it was pretty funny.
SPEAKER 09 :
I think maybe you are.
SPEAKER 07 :
I’m going to go next. Now, this one is my favorite sitcom probably of all time, and it is The Family Guy. Okay. And here he is. He’s got a salesman at the door.
SPEAKER 12 :
Hello, sir. Enough with the foreplay, Shayla. What are you selling? Well, I was going to try to sell you some handsome cream, but I can see you already bought out the store. Go on. So perhaps you’d be interested in something every homeowner cannot be without. Volcano insurance. Go on. According to my uncle, who’s a real whiz with volcanoes, a volcano is coming this way. I, too, have an uncle.
SPEAKER 11 :
Come in. How much is this volcano insurance? I don’t know. Let’s say $200.
SPEAKER 1 :
$200?
SPEAKER 11 :
That’s more than I spent on all that handsome cream. I don’t have that kind of money. What about that jar of money? No way, that’s Lois’ rainy day fund. Ah, come on. It never rains in Rhode Island?
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, yeah, but I’m pretty sure we’ve never had a volcano either. Well, don’t you think we’re overdue for one? Touché, salesman.
SPEAKER 07 :
Peter Griffin. I don’t know if there’s ever been a dumber character.
SPEAKER 08 :
Also.
SPEAKER 07 :
And that’s what sitcoms are about. You always have to have an idiot. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 08 :
I was just going to say, also, that is a very accurate representation of insurance sales.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yes, it is.
SPEAKER 08 :
Believe it or not.
SPEAKER 07 :
Only it’s volcano sales.
SPEAKER 08 :
Only volcano insurance.
SPEAKER 07 :
Volcano Insurance. Okay. You are up, sir.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’ll piggyback off of that with another one based right here in Colorado. South Park.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, yes. South Park was great. I wonder, do I have anything on that?
SPEAKER 08 :
It’s probably hard to find some clips from South Park. It’s usually pretty raunchy.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay. It is. But, you know, I do have, and they never even try to impersonate the voice. No. Okay. And so this one is recent, and it’s just Donald Trump going in to be president, and they’re walking him through.
SPEAKER 20 :
Yes, sir. Here are all our military secrets and all classified information. Okay, good. This is the drone program. In there, you can kill anyone on Earth remotely. Here’s the keys. Thanks. In here is satellite surveillance where you can monitor anyone’s conversation live. Oh, that’ll come in handy. Extreme interrogation room in case you ever find interrogation necessary. Oh, hell yeah, it’s necessary. Let’s do it. And here, of course, is the famous football, where you can order a nuclear attack in four minutes. Love me some football. And finally, in here, is the diplomatic strategy and negotiating room.
SPEAKER 07 :
Anyways. They had a lot of fun. That’s pretty good. That show obviously is incredibly disgusting. Yes. But it can be unbelievably funny. It’s just well written.
SPEAKER 08 :
Very well written. They are very funny guys.
SPEAKER 07 :
They are. Okay, Luke, you’re up. That was you. Tanner, you’re up.
SPEAKER 09 :
Tanner, you’re up. I think this is the best sitcom of all time. The Office, the U.S. version.
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s a funny show. The Office is a very good one. I love it.
SPEAKER 09 :
Especially Dwight and Steve Carell is amazing.
SPEAKER 07 :
I wanted to put together clips. I did not have time. There’s too many. Oh, The Office is crazy. Although, I’ve got to be honest, a lot of The Office, a lot of the humor on it is visual. You got great lines, but they go so well with what they’re doing and their facial expressions make it even better. Steve Carell just kills me.
SPEAKER 09 :
I think my favorite episode is like season two, right when they start getting really good. And he just has like the international day and he’s just as racist as possible about every race. And then he gets slapped at me. It was so funny.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, that sounds good. Okay, folks, we are talking about best sitcoms ever. We’ll be right back with those. Up next is Paul Leuenberger. Paul is now an insurance broker, shopping nine companies to find the best plan for you. Call Paul at 303-662-0789.

Putting reason into your afternoon drive, this is John Rush.
SPEAKER 07 :
And welcome back to Rush to Reason. Denver’s Afternoon Rush. KLC 560. Andy Pate filling in for John Rush. And Luke had to step out. He will be right back. And I’m joined, of course, by Tanner Cole.
SPEAKER 17 :
Man.
SPEAKER 07 :
All right. Tanner, I’m going to go to, I believe… Quite possibly the best written sitcom ever made. And the reason I say that is because other sitcoms came off it. Two other sitcoms came off it that were also very popular with the same writers. These guys were on fire. And this is Cheers. Did you ever see Cheers?
SPEAKER 09 :
I’ve heard about it a bunch. Yeah, it’s before your time. Definitely.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay, well, this is a scene really quick here with Coach, and this is an early season, and Coach is an old guy, and he’s got to answer the phone. Here we go.
SPEAKER 06 :
Cheers. Yeah. Coach, your friend Walt.
SPEAKER 04 :
Oh, Walt. Walt. Walt, Walt, my God, it’s so good to hear from you. Oh, I’m so glad the operation’s over, Walt. Listen, I didn’t want to say anything beforehand, Walt, but, you know, I didn’t think your chances of going in there were too good. Oh, it’s tomorrow?
SPEAKER 20 :
That’s the beauty about being a mailman now.
SPEAKER 07 :
I’ll just leave it there. They had, after him, because Coach is only on one or maybe two seasons, I think it was two seasons, and then they had Woody Harrelson take over for him, and he actually played a character called Woody. And he was just as dumb as Coach. And that’s where Woody Harrelson became a big star. Before then, you’d never heard of him. So that was on the show Cheers. If you ever want to get some laughs, watch reruns of Cheers. Wonderfully written. Very, very funny. Great stuff. Okay, Luke, you’re up.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right. Well, let’s follow in the footsteps of watching some young people or younger people, you know, get their rise to stardom. Zendaya was in a sitcom show called Shake It Up. I think it was on – I think it was Disney Channel. Disney Channel’s Shake It Up is where Zendaya – I remember seeing her there back when I was but a young boy. With Bella Thorne. With Bella Thorne, yep.
SPEAKER 07 :
And Zendaya did not throw her life away. No. She actually went on to just be a star and keep being a star. Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
Bella Thorne, however, I think fell on some harder times.
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s so sad. You know, Disney and Nickelodeon just grind these young girls into nothing. And I don’t know what they put them through. I really don’t. But the number of them who have gone nuts…
SPEAKER 08 :
It happens enough that maybe there’s a pattern there worth looking at.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, yeah. No, I agree. I think there’s a pattern where you’ve got to look at Disney. You’ve got to look at, I mean, obviously they’re sexualizing them because they’re attractive young girls, and yet they’re very young, right? And that alone can be kind of scary, right? But also, whatever they’re doing there, they are cooking them. I’ll never forget Lindsay Lohan.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, I mean.
SPEAKER 07 :
Or Britney Spears.
SPEAKER 09 :
We saw what Nickelodeon then came out of the whole documentary. So, I mean, Disney, it seems like they got triple the amount.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, just horrible.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay, Tanner, you’re up. In my opinion, the best Nickelodeon one from back in the day, Drake and Josh.
SPEAKER 07 :
Drake and Josh. I’ve never seen this. That’s so funny. That was one of those good ones. What’s it about?
SPEAKER 09 :
Two stepbrothers. One’s really hot, gets all the chicks and dumb. The other one’s fat and ugly and doesn’t get any chicks. And they’re the main characters. Their parents are hilarious. Their dad’s like a failed weatherman. It was great. The sister is like conniving and evil, their younger sister.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, I like it.
SPEAKER 09 :
It was great. It was a good like brothers show.
SPEAKER 08 :
Like watching two guys try and be brothers and get along. Anyone who had siblings is like, oh, this is very relatable. Right.
SPEAKER 07 :
Do you both have brothers?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yes. I got one. He’s got five. I have five younger brothers.
SPEAKER 07 :
You have five younger brothers? Yep. Oh, my gosh. So you had to raise them all.
SPEAKER 08 :
I did. All me, mom and dad. Were they like slave labor?
SPEAKER 07 :
I mean, did they mow the lawn for you? Did they clean your room? Did they take care of everything? I wish.
SPEAKER 08 :
We were all too close in age. So we were all just like fighting each other, just punching. Oh, okay. Yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, that explains the violence.
SPEAKER 08 :
That’s all right. We’re all cool now. We’re all best friends now.
SPEAKER 07 :
I know you’re deeply into the violence culture. That’s true. Oh, yeah. Definitely. Very hyper-violent.
SPEAKER 08 :
Fight club at the Cashman household. Yeah, exactly. You get on the trampoline and you just beat on each other until someone bleeds enough.
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s great. That’s good to know. It explains a lot. Hey, Tanner, what about your brother?
SPEAKER 09 :
I was five years older, so I couldn’t touch him, but he got mad at me quite a bit.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, did he?
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, yeah. I was called the teasing king around the house for years.
SPEAKER 07 :
You were horrible to your brother.
SPEAKER 09 :
I mean, that’s what they all say, but they just lost every time they played me.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, because you were taller and you always played basketball.
SPEAKER 09 :
Faster, stronger, built to last longer.
SPEAKER 07 :
Did you play dodgeball and just throw it at them as hard as you could?
SPEAKER 09 :
I mean, I only had two siblings, so it was pretty quick. Knock them off their feet. They’d throw a ball, I’d catch it. I’d throw it at the other one, the game’s over.
SPEAKER 07 :
Just heartless. Okay, that being said, let’s go to probably, I think most people would say this is their number one sitcom, Friends. Here we go.
SPEAKER 05 :
Hey, anybody know a good tailor? You need some clothes altered? No, no, I’m just looking for a man to draw on me with chalk. Why don’t you go see Frankie? My family’s been going to him forever. He did my first suit when I was 15. No, wait, 16. No, excuse me, 15. All right, when was 1990? Okay, you have to stop the Q-tip when there’s resistance.
SPEAKER 07 :
That, by the way, may he rest in peace.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
Brilliant comedian. The guy who played Joey was very funny.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, Joey was great. Matt LaBlanque.
SPEAKER 07 :
Matt LeBlanc was very good. And who played the other guy?
SPEAKER 09 :
I’m spacing all their names. David Schwimmer.
SPEAKER 07 :
He played Ross. Yeah, he played Ross. I’m talking the year.
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, Chandler.
SPEAKER 07 :
Chandler.
SPEAKER 09 :
The one who passed. Yeah. I’m blanking.
SPEAKER 07 :
I don’t know. Guys, I deal with so many actors. The names, they blend together. Everybody is that person and that person and that person. Matthew Perry. Yeah, Friends was a case of having six terrific young talents. I mean, really terrific young talents. And to put all that talent onto one show, I don’t know if it had actually been done before. Because usually you had a show where maybe two, maybe three were really funny and really good, but that was about it. But to have six talents like that was just incredible.
SPEAKER 09 :
It was a great show. And all the extra actors they brought in for however many episodes, like Paul Rudd, Bruce Willis. Oh, yeah. Monica’s boyfriend at one point. He’s a big actor. I’m blanking on his name. Oh, yeah, Tom Selleck was in it for quite a while.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, Tom Selleck.
SPEAKER 09 :
It was great. I mean, so many good actors.
SPEAKER 07 :
Very cool.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, Luke, you’re up. Oh, let’s go with some Malcolm in the Middle. Malcolm in the Middle was funny. I have seen a couple episodes of that one. It’s one of the few older, in air quotes there, sitcoms that I’ve seen episodes of. It’s pretty good.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, that’s good.
SPEAKER 08 :
I enjoy it. One of my favorite pieces about Malcolm in the Middle is when they were doing the casting for Breaking Bad initially, and Bryan Cranston was cast in the role. There was this huge… sort of controversy up of like, you got the dad from Malcolm in the Middle to play this, you know, meth-dealing drug lord? It’ll never work. Only for it to work better than any casting choice I think you could have ever made.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, Cranston is pure talent.
SPEAKER 08 :
He is. One of the greatest actors.
SPEAKER 07 :
And the thing is, is that he played you know, a funny character on Malcolm in the Middle, but not a character where you thought that he could do much more. You didn’t think, oh, this guy’s got really broad acting chops and can do anything. And you just didn’t think about Bryan Cranston. And what’s he go on to do?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, he does Breaking Bad, and it absolutely kills the role.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s so good.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, I agree. Okay, Tanner, you’re up.
SPEAKER 09 :
Another one of my favorites. I look like I could be cast in the show right now. That 70s show. Yes. So funny. And they’ve made two shows after it. That 90s show, and then I’ll just throw it in right now. Netflix made The Ranch, which also had Ashton Kutcher, Danny Masterson, Sam Elliott, a few others.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, they produced some stars on that show.
SPEAKER 09 :
Kutcher, Kunis, yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
Kutcher is a very talented guy. He can do an action movie and turn around and do a comedy and do them equally well.
SPEAKER 09 :
Romantic as well, yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
Exactly. All right, tell you what, let’s take a break. We’ll come back because I’ve got a lot more. Up next is, let’s see, what is up next? Oh, yeah, Flesh Law. Corey and I won easily with Kevin Flesh. You can too, so call Flesh Law. That’s F-L-E-S-H at 303-806-8886, or you can go to FleshLawFirm.com.
SPEAKER 28 :
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 06 :
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 22 :
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 06 :
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 22 :
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 06 :
How do people get in touch with you if they want to stretch that time out in their retirement?
SPEAKER 22 :
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 06 :
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 22 :
You’re welcome.
SPEAKER 23 :
Live and local, back to Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 07 :
And welcome back to Rush to Reason. Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. We are doing favorite sitcoms. I got to do one that’s an all-time classic. Now, this sitcom really pioneered the hyper-liberal political sitcoms.
SPEAKER 09 :
Great.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, I know. But you got to keep in mind, I know while that’s offensive to Tanner and to me at times. And, you know, the fact is, though, it became the pioneer. And before long, every sitcom had a hard left slant, every single one. And it all started with All in the Family.
SPEAKER 14 :
Well, what would our leaving solve? I mean, with or without protests, this country would still have the same problems. What problems? Well, it’s the war, the racial problem, the economic problem, the pollution problem. Oh, come on. If you want a nitpick.
SPEAKER 16 :
Nitpick? Let me tell you something, Mr. Bunker. No, let me tell you something, Mr. Stivick. You are a meathead.
SPEAKER 17 :
What did you say?
SPEAKER 16 :
A meathead. Dead from the neck up. Meathead.
SPEAKER 07 :
What do you think? I like it. It’s way before your time, I know, but it was funny. And Carol O’Connor, I thought, created possibly the most memorable character ever in sitcom history, certainly in top five.
SPEAKER 17 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, because, and the problem is that the, no, top 10, because some are incredible, right? Homer Simpson.
SPEAKER 08 :
There’s some like cultural staples.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah. Well, he was too. But Homer Simpson, we were talking Jackie Gleason earlier on the Honeymooners. I’m going to throw one out really quick here. Alex on Family Ties.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 07 :
Did you ever see Family Ties? I don’t think so. Okay. I just did two. Sorry about that. Okay. Luke, you’re up.
SPEAKER 08 :
You’re all right. Well, let’s jump to a more modern one. And there are not a whole lot of modern sitcoms, but I think one came out that did it all right. I thought it was pretty decent. Shane Gillis with Tires.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, new season, and they’re set for season three. What’s it on? Netflix. I just started season two. I’ve enjoyed the first three episodes. There’s 12 of this one.
SPEAKER 07 :
I’ve never seen it. I like Shane Gillis.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, and there’s a bunch of other comedians in it.
SPEAKER 07 :
He does good stand-up. Really?
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, J.J. Watts in this season. That scene’s so funny. J.J. Watts? I haven’t seen it yet, but I’ve seen clips. It’s hilarious.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, on Netflix. Go check it out. Okay. Very good.
SPEAKER 09 :
And they’re 20-minute episodes. You fly through them without even realizing.
SPEAKER 08 :
It’s great. Not a whole lot of, like, decent modern sitcoms coming out. This is one of those. It’s like, I can see this kind of becoming more of a staple. I can feel it catching some solid footing.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay, say it one more time.
SPEAKER 08 :
Tires on Netflix with Shane Gillis. That you put on your car.
SPEAKER 09 :
tires it’s called tires yep it’s because it’s about him working in a tire shop yeah yeah okay i gotta watch it i will i think it’s the only one i have on my list that’s been created in the last eight years yeah or started in the last eight years okay all right um one that’s still going has had a really good track record one of my favorites it’s always sunny in philadelphia so good
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s Danny DeVito.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yes. I love him. Charlie Day. I believe that’s his name.
SPEAKER 07 :
Is Danny DeVito ever not good?
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
I don’t think so.
SPEAKER 09 :
You get to see him fail.
SPEAKER 07 :
I know. He is so good. Okay. I just got to play the song for this next one because everybody knows it. Here we go.
SPEAKER 27 :
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip that started from this topic port aboard this tiny ship. The mate was a mighty sailing man, the skipper brave and sure. Five passengers set sail that day for a three-hour tour, a three-hour tour.
SPEAKER 07 :
Now, you guys probably never saw this. It was called Gilligan’s Island. I was going to guess that, yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah. I remember seeing it on my grandma’s TV after church in 2003, maybe. It was like a rerun.
SPEAKER 07 :
The funny thing about Gilligan’s Island, it was just stupid humor. These seven people who are shipwrecked for several years. And yet, it started this long, long-going… argument that still goes today about the two girls who were on the island and one is a movie star named ginger and the other one is a girl from the midwest named marianne and so everybody would all the guys would always ask ginger or marianne ginger or marianne who’s your favorite who’s the hottest And in real life, Marianne is played by Dawn Wells, who was also a, she had one, she was like Miss Something. I forget what, Miss Arkansas or whatever. And so she was a beautiful lady, too. And Tina Louise played Ginger. And so that’s what everybody would always talk about, all the guys, Ginger or Marianne. So there you go. A little bit of history for you. Go ahead, Luke, you’re up.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, let’s go with… Ooh, I haven’t seen it, but it is iconic, and I feel like someone’s got to say it, so I’ll say it now. Golden Girls.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 09 :
Is Roseanne Barr in that?
SPEAKER 07 :
No.
SPEAKER 09 :
No, that’s a different show.
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s a different show. Do you want to go with Roseanne? No, no.
SPEAKER 09 :
No, no, no. There’s enough from our times that I think it was 2007 to 2014 was the hotbed, at least for us. I’m going to go with How I Met Your Mother.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 09 :
People were upset about the ending of that one.
SPEAKER 08 :
I could see that.
SPEAKER 07 :
I didn’t see it. Why? So apparently the – Everybody die in a blimp accident?
SPEAKER 08 :
That would have been very exciting.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, okay.
SPEAKER 08 :
No, spoilers – not going to spoil How I Met Your Mother, but there’s – the whole show is a big lead up to finding out who the mother is, and I guess the mother ended up being someone that they really didn’t want it to be. Right. There was a fan favorite pick, and she didn’t get it.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, well, there you go then. You know, I only saw a little part of a couple episodes. It was never my thing. It seemed pretty funny.
SPEAKER 08 :
It was. Yeah, it was all right. It was a good time.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay. Well, here’s another cartoon, and this is made by the people who did The Simpsons, and it’s in the future, and it’s… Futurama.
SPEAKER 08 :
Classic.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yes. And in these clips, it’s actually Zap Brannigan, who is my favorite idiot commander of a spaceship. And here we go talking Zap Brannigan.
SPEAKER 18 :
Just so we’ll know, who’s the enemy? A valid question. We know nothing about their language, their history, or what they look like. But we can assume this. They stand for everything we don’t stand for. Also, they told me you guys look like dorks.
SPEAKER 14 :
They look like dorks! Shall I fire on them now, sir?
SPEAKER 18 :
Not yet, Kif. In the game of chess, you can never let your adversary see your pieces. What? We made it through, Kif. How many men did we lose?
SPEAKER 22 :
All of them.
SPEAKER 18 :
Well, at least they won’t have to mourn each other. Seal the airlocks.
SPEAKER 07 :
Seth Branigan. That’s good. Yeah, at one point he says the way he won this great battle was to keep sending waves and waves of his men at the enemy until his enemy finally ran out of ammunition. Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
If it works, it works.
SPEAKER 07 :
He’s such an idiot. Okay.
SPEAKER 08 :
Luke, you’re up. Oh, we’ll go with another animated one. Definitely newer. Definitely very funny. Shockingly so. The Amazing World of Gumball. I have not seen this. It’s a more modern cartoon. A little wacky, a little zany. But one of those where it’s like, oh, this has good jokes. Like good highbrow humor.

SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, I like him.
SPEAKER 09 :
I can’t remember the other two, their actual names, but it was hilarious. All three of them worked in this office with a hot boss, and then they were just always causing havoc. I think it was three or four seasons. It’s a good one.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, I like Adam Devine. He’s always funny. Okay, here’s another theme song. It’s an easy one, but it’s an old show that’s way before your time. Here we go.
SPEAKER 24 :
Do you know this song?
SPEAKER 1 :
No.
SPEAKER 07 :

Michael Bailey, the mobile estate planner, has the key to wisely protecting your college-aged kids. Think about it.

Will a doctor let you make healthcare 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.
