SPEAKER 15 :
This is Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 12 :
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 15 :
With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 19 :
My advice to you is to do what your parents did, get a job first. You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 01 :
Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there. It is this feeling that has brought you to me.
SPEAKER 03 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
SPEAKER 24 :
It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush. Filling in is Andy Pate, party of choice.
SPEAKER 11 :
And welcome to hour number two here on Rush to Reason, KLZ 560. I’m Andy Pate, filling in for John Rush along with Tanner Cole. Man. And Luke Cash. Man. That was fun. Okay, we are talking this hour about short people. And who are we doing it in honor of?
SPEAKER 08 :
Vladimir Zelensky.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yep. The short little guy who got talked down to literally by Donald Trump. By the way, he’s pretty tall. What is he, about 6’3″?
SPEAKER 08 :
I think he’s 6’3″, 6’4″. He’s bigger than he looks sometimes.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, he’s a big boy. He’s a big boy.
SPEAKER 08 :
You got Barron, who’s an NBA prospect.
SPEAKER 11 :
It was just such a weird thing to watch when Zelensky was all hunched over and Trump is literally with the finger and pointing and doing this. It felt like an adult chewing out a kid.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah. He got put in timeout.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, but, you know, Zelensky, he had it coming. When you have a deal and you go into a meeting like that, you just do the deal. Okay? You don’t like, and I thought Vance put it well, you don’t try to re-litigate it in front of the press. All right? You have a deal. Okay? I mean, when you’re at the wedding, you don’t re-litigate your vows right there in front of the people who came to watch. You just get married. You say, I do. All right? You just get it out of the way. I thought it was an embarrassing thing.
SPEAKER 18 :
Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER 11 :
So anyway, I want to talk to some short people. What I’m going to do is play. We’re going to try it. We’re going to play a clip, and I want to see which one of you guesses this short person first. You ready? All right. Here we go.
SPEAKER 06 :
Before you die, there is something you should know about us, Lone Star.
SPEAKER 1 :
What?
SPEAKER 06 :
I am your father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate. What’s that make us? Absolutely nothing. Which is what you are about to become.
SPEAKER 09 :
Classic. And who was it? I don’t know the actor, but was it Lord Helmet? Dark. Dark Helmet. Dark Helmet. Dark Helmet.
SPEAKER 11 :
And, of course, that was Rick Moranis. You know how tall Rick Moranis was? Huh. 5’1″.
SPEAKER 10 :
That’s pretty short.
SPEAKER 11 :
That’s my wife’s height. Rick Moranis was actually my wife’s height. He was a funny actor for a long time. In fact, I liked him in almost every role. The first role I saw him in was Ghostbusters. And he was so incredible. I don’t know if you remember him. He was the guy who lived a couple doors down from Dana. Right? And he turned into a dog too. But One thing I heard about Rick Moranis when they were filming Ghostbusters is that while everybody else needed a few takes, every single scene he did, and nobody hardly knew about this guy, every scene he did, he nailed the first time. He was so perfect with his delivery that they would just go, take, it’s a take, go with it. I love Rick Moranis. Okay, Luke, you’re up next.
SPEAKER 10 :
I will go with the shortest character I know. and it is Ozzy the White Blood Cell from Ozzy and Trix, the old animated, what is it, cartoon about, what is it, being a white blood cell in a dude’s body as he’s sick?
SPEAKER 11 :
What? I’ve never heard of this. You’ve never heard of it? No, no, wait a minute. You’re just speaking random words right now. You haven’t seen this? You’re assembling random words together.
SPEAKER 10 :
Ozzy the White Blood Cell? Ozzy the White Blood Cell from Ozzy and Trix. It’s a movie we watched when I was in, like, I want to say middle school for, I think it was like health or science or biology or something.
SPEAKER 08 :
Sounds like it’s from the Magic School Bus.
SPEAKER 10 :
I mean, kind of, yeah. I guess you could say all the Magic School Bus characters when they shrink down and go inside of Arnold’s body in that one episode.
SPEAKER 08 :
Just like Rick Moranis in Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
SPEAKER 11 :
That’s true.
SPEAKER 10 :
I think White Blood Cell is the smallest character we’re going to get, though. I wanted to start strong.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay, you know what? You started strong with something no one literally.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, Luke already won.
SPEAKER 11 :
Even the makers of that have not heard of it. How could you not hear of it?
SPEAKER 10 :
It is iconic. Wow. We can go home now. I’m sorry.
SPEAKER 11 :
I’m cultured. My bad. Tanner, I need you to reach high and see if you can top that.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, probably my, definitely my top three of favorite miniature characters, Mini-Me from Austin Powers. Yes! I mean, those movies are too funny.
SPEAKER 11 :
I can’t play a clip of him because he doesn’t talk. He was so funny, wasn’t he?
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, it was great. Dr. Evil and Mini-Me were fantastic. Who played Mini-Me? Was that Vern Troyer? Yeah.
SPEAKER 11 :
Rest in peace. Yes, he has passed on. He was funny. Everything he did in that movie was just hilarious. I thought Mini-Me was a great character. On the line is another great character. It’s John from Cheyenne John. Do you know any short people? Maybe short angry people. Oh, yeah, but first.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, go ahead. First, Andy, do you remember Rick Moranis when he was with Dave Thomas on SCTV? No. Robin Doug McKenzie and the Great White North. Oh, yes, I do. I remember those skits. They were funny. Funny. I remember they made a movie.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, it was so-so.
SPEAKER 17 :
It was one of those bad movies that you can’t not watch.
SPEAKER 11 :
It was awful. Like I was saying in the first hour when I did that movie that shall not be named again. Named? Yeah, I’m not going to say it again, but it was a guilty pleasure, right? It’s a movie that you’re watching and you’re just like, I’m embarrassed to like this.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, the movie that, oh, this is so bad. Wait, just five more minutes.
SPEAKER 11 :
I know, just five more minutes. I got to watch a little more. It’s got to get better. How about some old school shorter actors?
SPEAKER 17 :
Okay. I know a few. How about James Cagney? Yes. He was only five foot five.
SPEAKER 11 :
He was, and I’m telling you what, he was great.
SPEAKER 17 :
I always remember the… the scene at the end of Yankee Google Dandy where he’s dancing down the steps of the White House. Oh, he’s awesome. Oh, yeah. And then… No, wait.
SPEAKER 11 :
He was also… Wasn’t he the bad guy in Mr. Roberts?
SPEAKER 17 :
He was the… The commander is the captain of the ship. That’s what I mean. The bad captain. He was great in that. I mean… He was awesome. He’s been in so many great movies. I mean, you just… One after the other if you go back and watch them. I know you have the… That youngster generation in there, do they even know who James Cagney is? Nope.
SPEAKER 11 :
They’ve never even heard the name James before. I mean, they’re pretty new on the scene, but, you know.
SPEAKER 17 :
You know, there’s a couple of books in the back of the Bible that are written by James. So, you know, if you’re not sure.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, that’ll get them up to speed. You got any more? Bogey. Bogey was only 5’8″. Wow, I didn’t even know he was that tall.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, if you look at him in, like, in… McCall was as tall as he was in the whole movie. Right.
SPEAKER 11 :
You know, it’s kind of interesting for both him and Tom Cruise how they had a fair number of romantic movies, and I don’t know what they had to do with the camera work, but they made it look like they were not, you know, at least noticeably shorter than the women they were with, you know.
SPEAKER 17 :
Put them on about. Well, one more, and I’ll steal this one, is Sylvester Stallone. How tall is he? I’ve never even, I don’t have him listed. 5’7 or 5’8 maybe? Not that tall. The guy has all biceps. What? Yeah, in Rocky III in the ring scenes with Mr. T, who’s not very tall either, they had Stallone standing on a box, so he would be eye to eye.
SPEAKER 11 :
That’s good. I like it. That’s good.
SPEAKER 17 :
All right, so last thing, Andy. Yeah, go. I’m going to totally change the subject real quick. We can get back. What are you streaming? Give me something to watch on streaming.
SPEAKER 11 :
I haven’t been streaming much. Night Agent, we just finished streaming Night Agent.
SPEAKER 08 :
It was… I love the first season. Second season was boring to me.
SPEAKER 11 :
It kind of went slower in the second season, and at the end, it goes to the left, but I like the main two characters a lot.
SPEAKER 10 :
Reacher on Amazon. Good.
SPEAKER 11 :
Oh, he’s a big lefty! Trump hater.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, who cares?
SPEAKER 17 :
The show’s good.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, it’s pretty good.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yes, it’s very good, but I read about… 15 or 20 of the reacher books yeah and they are even better than the reacher show yeah the books are good the book that the first reacher movie was based on with tom cruise i’m going to give cruise way big credit even though he was nowhere near the character that lee child’s He did justice to that role, and I thought that was very true to that book.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, let’s face it, John. He’s a much better actor.
SPEAKER 17 :
Right.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay. Oh. I mean, he’s such a good actor. And Jack Reacher was one of these movies. And for all those out there, if you have not seen Jack Reacher, can we all recommend Jack Reacher?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, both of them.
SPEAKER 11 :
Absolutely.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, the second one’s pretty good, too.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 11 :
It is fun. It’s a fun movie. It’s good action, good humor, and just a really, oh, and by the way, a really good mystery, a really good story, the way he unravels it. It is really good. Jack Reacher was totally worth watching, John.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, I’ve seen both of them, and I’m three episodes into the third season of Reacher, having seen the other two. So, yeah, that’s a phenomenal show. I’m just looking for something else. My wife is big into Reacher, and she’s flying, and we have a deal. Shows that she likes.
SPEAKER 11 :
I don’t watch when she’s there. Now that is true.
SPEAKER 17 :
And that’s how I’ve been happily married for 32 years. Way to go, man.
SPEAKER 11 :
Hey, I’ve never asked you this, John. How tall are you? I want to see if I’m still the shortest in the room.
SPEAKER 17 :
You are. I’m 6’4″. Jeez. Yes. What is it? Andy, I got you beat on that, too. My wife is only 5’2″. She’s 5’2″? Mine’s 5’1″.
SPEAKER 11 :
So your wife is giant.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah, but I’m 14 inches taller than my wife.
SPEAKER 09 :
Really?
SPEAKER 17 :
And she reminds, do you get the call, Andy? Andy, could you come get this off the shelf for me?
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, she does that. Actually, she just likes to see me work. So she likes to see me grab things.
SPEAKER 17 :
i when she used to do that in my younger days i don’t do it anymore because it got her mad i’d walk up and lift her up from behind and stand her on the couch yeah i don’t uh yeah like are you gonna let me down and i’d be like i don’t know maybe so we kind of don’t do that as much anymore but early in our marriage it was well we don’t do that because we’re dominated john i mean let’s face it all right john thank you so much sir good job you wear the pants in our family Our wives just pick out which ones.
SPEAKER 11 :
This is true. This is true.
SPEAKER 17 :
Have a good weekend.
SPEAKER 11 :
Have a good weekend, sir. You take care. Okay, let’s see if you’re ready for this one, if you recognize it. Here we go.
SPEAKER 06 :
So I suggest you wipe that stupid smile off your face before I come over there and smack it off. You’re feeling strong, my friend. Call me elf one more time.
SPEAKER 08 :
That’s one of the best short person roles, I feel like. Even though Peter Dinklage is only in the movie for so long, it was such a great scene.
SPEAKER 11 :
Oh, he was so great. And of course, that was Elf.
SPEAKER 10 :
Right.
SPEAKER 11 :
Hilarious.
SPEAKER 10 :
Peter Dinklage is great in general. I think I’ve liked him in just about everything he did. He was incredible in Game of Thrones. One of my favorite roles he did.
SPEAKER 11 :
As Tyrion Lannister, right?
SPEAKER 10 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 11 :
Isn’t that his name? Oh, he was awesome. He’s a wonderful actor.
SPEAKER 10 :
He really is. Yeah, I really like him.
SPEAKER 11 :
And he was so mean in Elf. See, now there we go. There was an angry little guy. There you go. So, you know, I got the Zelensky Award for the moment.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, Luke, you’re up. All right, we’re moving up in scale. Oh, okay. Only by a little bit.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, you’re not going to do a white cell, white blood cell?
SPEAKER 10 :
No, Osmosis Jones, the white blood cell. Instead, we’re going to do Flick from, what is it, Disney’s A Bug’s Life. Oh, I’ve actually seen that. There you go. That exists. Like I said, we’re moving up. We’re getting a little bigger every time, so…
SPEAKER 11 :
You know, Bugs Life is one of those early Pixar’s that was the second Pixar. And it’s one that nobody thinks about, but it actually wasn’t that bad.
SPEAKER 08 :
I wrote down the whole cast as being short because they’re all insects.
SPEAKER 11 :
They’re all insects. I remember, I think it was… You know, they had to keep getting new ones. They kept getting stepped on. Yeah, the recasts were incredible. Very expensive. It took them 27 years to make the movie.
SPEAKER 10 :
I believe it. Which is crazy because the lifespan of an ant is like, what, a couple days?
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, that was hard, too, to get the filming just right.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, Tanner, you’re up. I think I went to Universal Studios or something. They had a Bugs Life exhibit. The biggest bugs in the world out there. Thank you, Tanner. My late grandpa, Gary Coleman. Oh, yes. Just in general.
SPEAKER 11 :
Now, I know he was in a couple movies, little cameos.
SPEAKER 08 :
I only know him from Drake and Josh, the TV show. Gary Coleman? He appeared in that, yeah.
SPEAKER 11 :
What was the TV show he was on all those years? That’s a great… With Dana Plato and Charlie? Gary Coleman?
SPEAKER 10 :
He was in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. What else was he in? Was he really? I didn’t know that. I think a cameo.
SPEAKER 11 :
All right. We’ll tell you what we’re thinking about that when we take a break. Come back and talk about short people. All right. And especially short, angry people like Zelensky, because he’s very angry. Up next is Affordable Interest Mortgage with Kurt Rogers. Credit card rates are still high.

Al Smith helps you get organized and can formulate a plan based on when you want to retire and what you want your retirement to look like.

Al will get you organized and focused toward your ultimate goals for your retirement. Playing golf, traveling the world, spending time with family, or having the time and resources so that you can give back without being concerned about your finances. Don’t try to do it alone.

And welcome back to Rush to Reason. Denver’s Afternoon Rush. KLZ 560. Andy Pate filling in for John Rush along with Tanner Cole.
SPEAKER 08 :
Man.
SPEAKER 11 :
And Luke Cash. Man. This music is in Zelensky’s honor.
SPEAKER 08 :
I thought it was from Toy Story. It’s got that vibe.
SPEAKER 11 :
It does have that vibe. You know, um…
SPEAKER 10 :
I feel like it’s not very child-friendly. I don’t think they’d let it fly.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, children are short people, so it’s inclusive. True. Got to be inclusive.
SPEAKER 11 :
I hope Zelensky isn’t hurt by all this. Hey, cheer up, little buckaroo. We got you. We got you covered. Okay. I want you guys to guess this one as fast as you can. You ready?
SPEAKER 10 :
All right. As fast as I can. Here we go.
SPEAKER 20 :
What’s the difference between the Army and the Cub Scouts? Cub Scouts don’t have heavy artillery. I’m going to get a 1600. Why? Because I have to.
SPEAKER 1 :
It’s the Army.
SPEAKER 20 :
Is this Robin Williams?
SPEAKER 10 :
But in what? He’s been in so many things.
SPEAKER 20 :
I know it. Thank you, Bob. Can we play anything for you? Anything! Just play it loud, okay?
SPEAKER 11 :
Good Morning Vietnam with Robin Williams. How tall was Robin Williams? Take a guess.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, I’m going to guess maybe 5’5″? 5’7″.
SPEAKER 11 :
5’7″? You looked it up, did you?
SPEAKER 08 :
I have been looking it up all day.
SPEAKER 11 :
Why are you cheating?
SPEAKER 08 :
I have short actors pulled up, and there’s just a list. It’s hard.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, without Richard here, somebody else has to cheat, so well done. That’s what they call me, Short King Cheater. Way to fill in.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, up next is Luke. Go. All right, we’ve got to get just a little bit bigger than an ant, so let’s go with Mantis, the praying mantis from Kung Fu Panda.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay, that’s good. That’s good. That is a good small character.
SPEAKER 10 :
There you go. Do you know his name? Yeah, his name is Mantis. That’s his name. Obviously.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, remember the line, you’re all so much bigger than your action figures, except you, Mantis. You’re the same size.
SPEAKER 10 :
Remember that? Yes. I think that one of the funniest bits that I’ve heard was when Kung Fu Panda came out, China, like the government, was like, why didn’t we do this? Why didn’t we think to make a panda that does Kung Fu? I can’t believe the Americans did it first.
SPEAKER 11 :
It was fantastic. Very funny. You know, I got to say it again, John Rush. Yes, John Rush has never seen Kung Fu Panda.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, change that.
SPEAKER 11 :
I’ve been trying to change that. I have. I’ve been sharing tracks and leaflets with him.
SPEAKER 08 :
America’s First and everything. All right.
SPEAKER 11 :
I’ve shown up at his home at 3 a.m. I’ve been trying to get him to watch. Go ahead, Tanner.
SPEAKER 08 :
Every role Danny DeVito’s in, obviously, is going to be a small guy. But I love him in Twins with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Oh, yes. That’s just too funny.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, and obviously the relative size of the two guys. Right. Twins was a funny movie. I liked Twins.
SPEAKER 08 :
I enjoyed it.
SPEAKER 11 :
How about Hercules?
SPEAKER 08 :
You mean the cartoon?
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, the Disney cartoon where he plays, what is it, the hooves?
SPEAKER 10 :
A satyr?
SPEAKER 11 :
Is that a satyr?
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, it’s a satyr. I don’t remember his name, though.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah. Phil.
SPEAKER 10 :
Phil! Yes.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yes, call me Phil. Uh-huh. Danny DeVito is one of the funniest actors, and he’s so good. He’s so good. He started out on Taxi, and he was Louie in the cage, and he was hilarious.
SPEAKER 08 :
He’s great on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
He’s fantastic.
SPEAKER 11 :
Oh, he’s been tremendous for years. Okay, up next is someone else who’s been tremendous for years. That is Soren. Soren, do you know any short people in the movies?
SPEAKER 28 :
Yeah, so I got three short people. Okay. Humphrey Bogart, Bing Crosby.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay, Humphrey Bogart, got him. Bing Crosby, how tall was Bing? He was kind of short, wasn’t he?
SPEAKER 28 :
He was, I think he was 5’8″.
SPEAKER 11 :
That’s pretty short. He was kind of a little guy.
SPEAKER 28 :
And then Ingrid Bergman.
SPEAKER 11 :
How tall was she? I have no clue.
SPEAKER 28 :
Well, so out of the three that I just mentioned, who?
SPEAKER 11 :
You dropped out, Soren. Say it again.
SPEAKER 28 :
So out of the three that I just mentioned, who do you think would be the tallest?
SPEAKER 11 :
I’m going to go Bergman.
SPEAKER 28 :
That would be correct. She was 5’9″.
SPEAKER 11 :
There you go.
SPEAKER 28 :
Humphrey Bogart was 5’8″, and Bing Crosby, I think, was 5’7″.
SPEAKER 11 :
Man, he was short, but I’m telling you what, Soren, I don’t know if there’s ever been a richer singing voice than Bing Crosby. I mean, the tone was incredible.
SPEAKER 28 :
That’s very true.
SPEAKER 11 :
That’s very true. Well done, sir. Well done. Way to go. Yeah. Okay. Hey, Andy. Yeah, go ahead. I got a quick joke. Oh, let’s hear a joke. Uh-oh. Okay. I don’t know. What’s the difference between the IRS and thieves? Oh, that’s good. That’s good. Thieves. Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
Very nice.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well done, Soren. Well done. The thing about that is that that’s actually a lot sadder than funny. I know it is. Yeah, but that’s okay because the IRS is cutting back. Did you hear they’re going to drop 40,000 employees or something like that? Well, that’s good.
SPEAKER 28 :
Now they just need to drop taxes by 40%.
SPEAKER 11 :
I’d be all for that, Soren. I hope they do it. Soren, thank you so much. We’ll talk to you next week.
SPEAKER 28 :
Okay, sounds good.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay. Okay, guys, we’re going to run another one, and I would say this is a very short character, and let’s see how quickly you get it. Here we go.
SPEAKER 16 :
When 900 years old, you reach… Yoda.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yoda! Listen a little more.
SPEAKER 16 :
Size matters not.
SPEAKER 1 :
Look at me.
SPEAKER 16 :
Get me by my size, do you? And where you should not. For my ally is the Force. and a powerful client is.
SPEAKER 08 :
I need to learn how to speak in Yoda tongue.
SPEAKER 11 :
I know. You can do it. You can do it. It’ll make you really cool. Trust me.
SPEAKER 08 :
I think so. I think that’s how you pull chicks.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
You talk like Yoda.
SPEAKER 11 :
They really love that. Yeah, okay.
SPEAKER 10 :
No, I think you should. I think you should go for it.
SPEAKER 11 :
Good luck with that, man. I think you’ve got a real future single. All right, here we go.
SPEAKER 10 :
Luke, you’re up. What is bigger than a praying mantis? A lot of things, but we only want to get a little bit bigger.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay, a little bit bigger. You’re moving up. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 10 :
A little bit bigger than a praying mantis. Credit to Tanner on this one. Charlotte from Charlotte’s Web. Spider, bigger than a praying mantis.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay, I’ve actually seen Charlotte’s Web.
SPEAKER 10 :
It sucks.
SPEAKER 11 :
Unlike your first one, this exists. And I think that’s really a step up. So well done.
SPEAKER 10 :
You knew Mantis from Kung Fu Panda. I did know Mantis. As the characters get bigger, they get more recognizable.
SPEAKER 11 :
You know, that’s true. It’s true. Yeah, yeah. Okay, Tanner, you’re up.
SPEAKER 08 :
Let’s go with Joe Pesci, Goodfellas, and then Home Alone. That’s a short angry guy when they’re trying to rob Macaulay Culkin.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay, really quick. Favorite Joe Pesci roles. What about, was he in Casino? I’m forgetting. Oh, okay. What about Lethal Weapon 2? He was hilarious. Remember that one? Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. I love Joe Pesci.
SPEAKER 08 :
He’s pretty good.
SPEAKER 11 :
He is. And what was the other one in the legal case? Oh, I’ll think of it later. Okay, guys, here’s another one. It’s very similar to the one I just did. Here we go.
SPEAKER 19 :
Hey, what do you mean? Heard of you. Who hasn’t heard of Yogurt?
SPEAKER 18 :
Yogurt the wise.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yogurt the all-powerful. Yogurt the magnificent. Please, please, don’t make a fuss. I’m just plain yogurt.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yogurt from Spaceballs.
SPEAKER 10 :
Doubling up on Spaceballs.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, well, you know.
SPEAKER 10 :
You gotta, you gotta. Spaceballs doesn’t get enough credit.
SPEAKER 11 :
It was such a stupid movie. That’s another guilty pleasure, by the way. I should just do guilty pleasures one week. Okay, Luke, you’re up.
SPEAKER 10 :
All right, we’re stepping up just a little bit to Woody and Buzz from Toy Story. No, no, no. The whole cast.
SPEAKER 11 :
I’m going to take a little issue with this. You’re going to take a little issue with this? Because Woody was fairly tall for a toy. For a toy? But he’s still a toy. Okay, because they’re all toys?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah. You could just do Mr. Potato Head.
SPEAKER 11 :
I think he’s cheating. I think he’s cheating. What do you think? I mean, Buzz was short.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, there’s Mr. Potato Head. There’s a couple shorter ones.
SPEAKER 10 :
I think Bo Peep was the smallest out of the humanoids.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, here’s the question. Here’s the question. Oh, the soldiers. Yeah, the toy soldiers. Oh, they were little. They were very little, but very violent. It’s brilliant. And very, you know, they took orders. Okay, here’s a question.
SPEAKER 10 :
Here’s an answer.
SPEAKER 11 :
Has any movie destroyed a character more than Buzz Lightyear?
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, they turned him gay. It’s pretty hard to get worse than that.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, his partner was.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah. Oh, great.
SPEAKER 11 :
She was gay. But the movie was awful. It bombed. It almost destroyed an entire… I mean, Disney, it buried them. Yeah. So I would say that pretty much destroyed a character. Okay.
SPEAKER 08 :
You’re up. It’s funny how a lot of these are Disney movies, but… It’s true. Puss in Boots. Oh, yes! Puss in Boots. The new one’s really good.
SPEAKER 11 :
Starring… Antonio Banderas.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, I wouldn’t know.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, Puss in Boots is great. It’s one of my favorite characters. I love it. The Last Wish was very good. Yeah, it was very good. Okay, why don’t we take a break? We’ll come back with more short people.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, let’s keep going.

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 Safebox keeps your treasured items protected better than any banker’s safe.

SPEAKER 11 :
And welcome back to Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560, Andy Pate filling in for John Rush along with Tanner Cole and Luke Cash. Okay, guys, let’s see if you pick up on this one. Here we go.
SPEAKER 15 :
That’s great. Go ahead, make your jokes, mister. Jokey. Joke maker. But let me hit you with some knowledge. You should quit now and save yourself the embarrassment of losing with these losers in Las Vegas, LeFleur.
SPEAKER 14 :
Alliteration aside, I think I’ll take my chances in the tournament. Yeah, you will take your chances. I know. I just said that. I know you just said that. Okay, I’m not sure where you’re going with this. Well, I’m not sure where you’re going with this. That’s what I just said. That’s what I’m saying to you. Alright.
SPEAKER 08 :
I know that it’s Vince Vaughn on one side. Ben Stiller. Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 11 :
Ben Stiller from Dodgeball. Oh, yeah. He was hilarious. I loved him in that. By the way, okay, Ben Stiller, take a guess. How tall?
SPEAKER 10 :
5’8″. I have no clue. 5’6″.
SPEAKER 11 :
5’7″. Split the difference.
SPEAKER 10 :
Split the middle.
SPEAKER 11 :
He is a little guy. He’s very funny. And Luke, you’re up next.
SPEAKER 10 :
I should have done this earlier. Okay. I should have. I missed a step because that reminded me of Lego Batman.
SPEAKER 11 :
No, I love Lego Batman.
SPEAKER 10 :
Lego Batman’s hilarious, and Lego’s pretty small.
SPEAKER 11 :
Legos are pretty small.
SPEAKER 10 :
Legos are pretty small.
SPEAKER 11 :
Factual. You’re doing well on this, and once again, that exists.
SPEAKER 08 :
When did Lego Batman come out?
SPEAKER 11 :
I don’t know.
SPEAKER 08 :
It’s been a while. Like 2019, maybe? Oh, I completely miss that. I love Batman.
SPEAKER 11 :
There were two iterations of it. I actually like the earlier one better. Okay, Tanner, you’re up.
SPEAKER 1 :
2017.
SPEAKER 10 :
Wow, that was forever ago. Yep.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, I’m going to do… I have a couple doubles, same movie. So I’m going to do Jack-Jack and Edna E in The Incredibles. Oh, Edna. She’s so funny.
SPEAKER 11 :
We love Edna. She was so fantastic. She was hilarious in that. And Jack-Jack, of course. Okay. No capes. Let’s see if you know this one. And it’s a girl.
SPEAKER 12 :
We’re at 114 Selensky Plaza, third floor. We have an F-22 exactly eight miles out. Put the woman on the phone or I will blow up the block before you can make the lobby. We need you to come in.
SPEAKER 02 :
Are you kidding? I’m working.
SPEAKER 12 :
This takes precedence.
SPEAKER 02 :
I’m in the middle of an interrogation. This moron is giving me everything. Everything?
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, I recognize Scarlett Jo. The bargain’s been compromised.
SPEAKER 18 :
Let me put you on hold.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay, you don’t remember?
SPEAKER 10 :
I don’t know the movie, but I know Scarlett Johansson.
SPEAKER 11 :
She was Black Widow, and it was the Avengers.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, that was the Avengers.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, when she was doing the interrogation. All right. They had her in a chair.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 11 :
5’1″? Close. 5’2″. She always looks so tall. She isn’t. She is tiny. Scarlett Johansson is little.
SPEAKER 08 :
Makes me like her more.
SPEAKER 11 :
Luke, you’re up.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right. Well, going back.
SPEAKER 11 :
By the way, Tanner, she’s 78 years old now. Whoa! Sorry, that can’t work. Go ahead, Lou.
SPEAKER 10 :
Bummer. Let’s go with Judy Hopps from Zootopia.
SPEAKER 11 :
Oh, okay. Well done.
SPEAKER 10 :
Now we’re in the animal stage, like mammals. Tanner. We’ll eventually get to a person. Maybe it’ll be my last one.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, probably your last one. Tanner, go!
SPEAKER 08 :
I remember seeing that movie and falling asleep in ten minutes. Let’s go with a movie I’ve never seen, but Andy is begging me to. Groot and Rocket Raccoon. You’ve stolen it. I was going to do Rocket Raccoon next.
SPEAKER 11 :
I would say Rocket. Yeah. Because Groot is different heights. You got baby Groot. You got bigger Groot.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’ve never seen it. That’s what the internet says.
SPEAKER 11 :
You’ve got to see Guardians of the Galaxy. You’re just not a man.
SPEAKER 08 :
That’s a liberal manipulation. They told me he was tall.
SPEAKER 11 :
I’m in short, but… You see right now, Luke, man. Andy, man. You, boy. Okay? I mean, as soon as you see Guardians of the Galaxy, you’re going to grow up. Tsss. Okay, let’s see if you guys, I think you’re going to know this character, even though the movie is way before you. Here we go. All right.
SPEAKER 1 :
I’ve heard it too many times.
SPEAKER 11 :
Kermit the Frog. Yes! Listen a little.
SPEAKER 1 :
It’s something that I’m supposed to be. Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection.
SPEAKER 08 :
I think I’ve realized I don’t like short people or shorter characters because that kills my brain hearing that.
SPEAKER 11 :
What’s the matter with you? Kermit the Frog is one of the greatest characters of all time and a pretty good singer.
SPEAKER 08 :
That guy has a more nasally voice than me. Oh, for goodness sake.
SPEAKER 10 :
Luke, you’re up. Kermit the Frog caused 9-11. Look that one up. It’s true.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, he’s very sorry. Go. You’re up.
SPEAKER 10 :
Again, I forgot one. I should have done this one earlier. I’ve got to roll it back. I’m sorry. We’ll do it now. Remy from Ratatouille. Good one.
SPEAKER 11 :
That was good.
SPEAKER 10 :
Rats, pretty small. Pretty small. Also, shockingly decent chefs. We should put more rats in kitchens and see what they come up with.
SPEAKER 11 :
I thought he was very talented. He did great cuisine. I think you’re right.
SPEAKER 10 :
It’s true. I’m surprised that they were able to train a rat to really, I mean, play the role of Remy. I mean, it’s very technical, too.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay, you know, once again, these are not real people. They’re not? Tanner, help them out later, would you?
SPEAKER 08 :
I saw it on TV. Luke’s confused. I mean, Kermit the Frog did 9-11, so who knows what Remy could do.
SPEAKER 11 :
Luke, who drives you home every night? I don’t remember. Okay, good.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, Tanner. Tanner, you’re up. I got another rodent, Stuart Little.
SPEAKER 11 :
Stuart Little. Oh, yes. And who played Stuart Little?
SPEAKER 08 :
Michael J. Fox, wasn’t it? Peter Dinklage, yeah.
SPEAKER 11 :
No, I think it was Michael J., wasn’t it?
SPEAKER 10 :
I don’t like Stuart Little. Oh. Gives bad vibes. He gives bad vibes, yeah. I think he’d deal coke, probably.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, he had nightmares as a kid about Stuart Little.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. I heard he did the Holocaust. Who goes to the adoption center and picks out a rat, you know? Who does that?
SPEAKER 11 :
That’s a good question.
SPEAKER 10 :
They’re sick. The owner of Remy.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay, let’s do two short actors. Here we go. One best movie.
SPEAKER 03 :
Hello, Raymond. Do you feel a little more relaxed in your favorite Kmart clothes? Tell him, Ray. Kmart sucks. I see.
SPEAKER 17 :
Look, I have the tickets, and I’ll be on this car right here for the ride. Why don’t you take a couple minutes? See you, Charlie.
SPEAKER 20 :
You made a joke, Ray. Yeah.
SPEAKER 11 :
Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise. Dustin Hoffman is, I believe, 5’5″. Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay. Shocking.
SPEAKER 11 :
He was a short guy. Okay, Luke, you’re up.
SPEAKER 10 :
All right. They’re, I mean, technically people, but not really. Okay. Sam and Frodo, Lord of the Rings.
SPEAKER 11 :
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. In the Shire.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, they’re hobbits, so, you know.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, hobbits are very short.
SPEAKER 10 :
Hobbits are very short.
SPEAKER 11 :
And by the way, those are short actors in real life, too.
SPEAKER 10 :
They are.
SPEAKER 11 :
They’re 5’6″, and I believe 5’6″. I think they’re both very short.
SPEAKER 18 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay. By the way, another movie he was in, Rudy. I mean, they were in a lot. They were in a lot of movies. Okay, Tanner, you’re up.
SPEAKER 08 :
Maybe the cutest short thing we’ll talk about today, the Ewoks from Star Wars.
SPEAKER 11 :
Oh, my gosh. Why didn’t I think of those? Corey loves those. My wife loves the Ewoks.
SPEAKER 08 :
I had an Ewok teddy bear for years.
SPEAKER 11 :
I’ve always wanted Ewok stew. I think that would taste delicious. I mean, they look very tender.
SPEAKER 10 :
What do you think? They look like they’d do great in barbecue.
SPEAKER 11 :
I would hunt wild Ewok as they’re running along a herd of Ewok.
SPEAKER 08 :
A Cajun Ewok stew. That’d be great. I’m getting hungry now.
SPEAKER 11 :
I am too. And Luke, oh wait, I’m up. You’re up. Here we go. This one’s way before anybody’s time. Actually, here we go.
SPEAKER 18 :
We represent the lollipop guild.
SPEAKER 1 :
The lollipop guild. The lollipop guild. And in the name of the lollipop guild, we wish to welcome you to my
SPEAKER 11 :
You guessed it. Zelensky. Isn’t that great? What a talent. I thought it was out of place when he greeted Trump that way. Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
Could you imagine if when he shows up at the White House, it’s blasting on the speakers?
SPEAKER 10 :
They should probably do that. Luke, you’re up, sir. Let me ask you this, Andy. Yes. How do you feel about chocolate? I like it. Well, you got to get through the Oompa Loompas. Oh, yes. To get to the chocolate first, so…
SPEAKER 11 :
I learned all my wisdom as a child from that.
SPEAKER 10 :
Wow. All of it. That explains so much. Yeah, I know.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, yeah, I don’t have a lot of wisdom. Tanner, you’re up.
SPEAKER 08 :
Let’s go with one of the funnier ones who kind of looks like Zielinski is Lord Farquaad.
SPEAKER 11 :
Oh, yes. From Shrek. Oh, he was great. Who’s the actor?
SPEAKER 08 :
I don’t know.
SPEAKER 11 :
John Lithgow.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 11 :
Oh, he’s very funny. Once again, way before your time. And it’s a short one. Here you go.
SPEAKER 19 :
The big one. What? Over? Did you say over? Nothing is over until we decide it is. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
SPEAKER 05 :
Forget it. He’s rolling.
SPEAKER 11 :
John Belushi in Animal House. John Belushi, guess how tall he was? 5’4″. A little taller. He was 5’8″. Really? He was a giant. For the characters we’re doing. Luke, you’re up.
SPEAKER 10 :
All right. Well, let’s keep with Lord of the Rings and go just one step above the Hobbits with Gimli, the dwarf.
SPEAKER 11 :
Oh, yeah, yeah. I like Gimbley. Yeah. He was good. Okay, Tanner, you’re up.
SPEAKER 10 :
Is that the same as Dobby? No, no. That’s Dobby the house elf from Harry Potter.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, I hunt those, too.
SPEAKER 10 :
I hunt those, too. Not good barbecue. I hunt those for sport.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
Just for the thrill.
SPEAKER 08 :
Just to hang them on your wall. Yeah, just to feel something.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, yeah. Can you get a Dobby doll, one of those that sticks to the wall anywhere you throw it? That’d be kind of cool. Can you get a Dobby pinata? I mean, do they make those?
SPEAKER 08 :
Taxidermy Dobby.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, I’m just wondering. Anyway, you should probably go, Tim.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, let’s go with Stitch from Lilo and Stitch.
SPEAKER 11 :
They have a new one coming out here. Lilo and Stitch is coming out this summer. You’re looking forward to that?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, I loved that movie when I was like four.
SPEAKER 11 :
So you’re going to take a date to this, right? Leland Stitch?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, Zelinsky and me are going to go.
SPEAKER 11 :
That’s good. Way to go. Okay, let’s take a break. We’ll come back with more short actors. Up next is Michael Bailey Law. The needs of your estate, they change constantly. So check in with Michael to keep it up to date. Get your will done with Michael Bailey at 720-730-7274.
SPEAKER 04 :
They say the luck of the Irish can bring you fortune. But when it comes to your estate, do you really want to leave things up to chance? Michael Bailey isn’t an impish leprechaun. He won’t vanish into thin air and he doesn’t deal in magic. But as your estate planner, he will make sure your pot of gold goes exactly where you want it to. That’s because a good estate plan isn’t about luck. It’s about wisdom, preparation and making sure your family is protected. No matter what. Think about it. If you had a pot of gold at the end of your rainbow, would you just bury it in your backyard and hope your family finds it? Or keep it someplace safe where your family can know your final wishes to a tee? That’s what an estate plan does. It’s not about luck. It’s about making sure your wishes are followed, your assets are protected, and your family isn’t left searching for answers. Rely on solid planning from Michael Bailey, not four-leaf clovers.
