Speaker 1 (00:00):
There is gosh an awful lot of things going on.
But one thing we kind of just I didn't have
a ton of time to talk about, was that moment
where Caroline Levitt said that the drones in New Jersey
were just they were FAA approved and they were just
kind of there, and they were up there for research
and various reasons. Matt, why didn't they tell us that?

(00:22):
Why did they let Why did they let the paranoia
for weeks continue? What was to be gained by not
telling us what exactly was going on?

Speaker 2 (00:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
I you know, this is another one of those. It
feels like another Roar Shack test because I can see
my friends on the left hearing that and then instantly thinking, oh,
then that's probably a bunch of lies, because if it
was just that, then they would have told us that, right.
But then friends on the right saying, oh, well, they
are deliberately being misleading. That's just them, of the democrats

(00:53):
in power these days, to be deliberately misleading and trying
to mess with our minds, And that's typical government style,
just trying to trying to make us read between the
lines and make us feel like we're the crazy ones.
For even asking the questions. And it's just and as
time goes on, the narrative goes on, and I just shrug.
I think, I don't know where is the truth? That's
somewhere out there some where, you know, who knows? Who

(01:16):
knows what it is? That fible somewhere over the main
that's Dorothy Gale.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah, what's fible? Though?

Speaker 3 (01:22):
There's something somewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
There. It's an American Tale.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Oh, I love that movie, so good American Tale. That's
a class Fible Mouskowitz, Fible Mouskowitz. Yeah, that's a good poll.
That's a great name. I need to go watch that
movie again. It's a solid.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
It's a little low on the rewatch list for me,
you know, like sometimes I just hop on Disney Plus
and I need to pound through, you know, like Oliver
and Company, Robin Hood and the Aristocats real quick over
a six hour span, and yeah, I feel pretty refreshed,
you know what I mean. An American tale sometimes gets
lost in the shuffle. I can't say I've actually seen
that thing in like twenty years. Same here, But that
was a staple we used to do Friday night movie

(02:01):
night with the family, and I think that song actually
got an Oscar, or at least nominated for an Oscar.
To look that up somewhere, I'll look it up while
you're talking about your uh yeah, what about it? What
about what about Friday Nights?

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Whatever? Well we still we.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Still that was.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
That was a staple. That was That was definitely one
of the go tos. It's a great movie. It's family friendly.
You don't have to worry about a moment where something happens.
And then when mom or Dad get up and say
that's it for this movie, and it goes on the
band list, the perma band list, you know. Yeah, No,
it's just a Jewish mouse to trying to make it
all right, just trying to make it in the world.
And then there's that big cat. Everybody thinks he's a

(02:36):
bad guy at first, but it turns out he's a
cat with a heart of gold helping out.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
A little mouse. Yeah, so here you go in the Grammys.
This was the eighty seven Grammys because it came out
in eighty six, which, by the way, written by Barry Man,
who has a long list of great productions. James Horner
and Cynthia While and apparently Ingram and Linda Ronstadt recorded

(03:02):
it Linda Ronstadt, she can sing Man, She's She's good Anyway,
thirtieth Grammy One Song of the Year and other for
Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or for TV.
Ron Stat and Ingram got a Grammy nomination for Best
Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and
then in the Golden Globes it was nominated for Best

(03:23):
Original Song and it was also Best Original Song in
the Academy Awards. But it lost to Take My Breath
Away from Top Gun. Not a bad one to lose to.
Let's be realistic here, right, So so how and it
got to number two on the Billboard Hot one hundred
from from from from an American Tale. What because it

(03:43):
was number two on the Hot one hundred. When when
would that okay?

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Frozen?

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Maybe like like one of those songs, probably like let
It Go may have gotten like charted highly.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
The Blues Brothers. One of the one of the most
fun factoids out there is that the Blues Brothers have
a number one too. They have a number one hit.
It was the number one movie and they had the
number one show in America all at the same time.
That movie. I rewatched recently. Yeah, ah, it's so fun.
It is fun. Those guys were fun. It doesn't make
much sense at the end of the day, but all
of a sudden, you see a cab callaway just like

(04:16):
skitting and scatting and doing like he's like eighty years old,
and he's like old cab cawwoays doing his nineteen thirties jive,
and it's just like, this is just kind of a
pipe dream of a movie, and I just love it
so much. I'm listening to this song right now. Linda
Ronstat James Ingram somewhere out There. Yeah, this one made
it to number two, number two on the on the arts,

(04:39):
on the Hot one hundred.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yes, boy, those were different times, agreed.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yes, yes, let It Go, by the way, only reached
number five on the same chart. Huh, And that seemed
like it was everywhere right, Like who wasn't listening or singing,
like especially their kid singing let it Go? Yeah, number
five only made number five, So think about how big
that song was.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
It got to number five.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Five, Oll Mouskowitz singing somewhere out there number two.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
That's an interesting Friday four that merges a couple of
fun themes. Your four favorite songs from movies could be
a fun list. Dang, and that that.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Would run deep, especially if you're a fan of Disney
or animated movies that you know have that kind of
musical element more frequently. Dang, that'd be sick. We need
to think about that. Anyway. I have no idea how
we got here. I just think that you referenced a
song that I pulled five Mouskowitz out of, and then
we spent four minutes talking about five O Mouskowitz. Anyway,

(05:35):
those drones in New Jersey. Bottom line, it was no
big deal, and we were stupid for worrying about it,
even though the government could have just told us that
when it was happening, but they didn't. Three twenty eight
more on the way, if you want to call four
h two five to five A to eleven ten, four
h two five five eight eleven ten, whether you want
to talk about an American Tale or anything else that
we've been talking about, fire away, and we'll talk to
you next time. Who's radio eleven ten kfab Emrie's songer?

(05:58):
Did you know that there was a multiple sequels of
an American Tale?

Speaker 3 (06:01):
I did know that five O goes West was actually
the first movie I remember watching and then went back,
circled back and watched the original.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Right right, right, yeah, yeah, it's kind of like The Rescuers,
right another mouse animated movie that one of Disney movie
like Amblin did, uh, the American tale movies. That's Steven
Spielberg's kind of wing of movie making. So Spielberg had
his hands all over five Ole and all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Isn't that weird?

Speaker 1 (06:25):
The guy who made Jaws is the guy who is
a brainchild behind five Ole Mouskowitz.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
But that's why he's one of the great I think
I love that about it about him because you know,
it shows that he knows what a good story is.
He's not limited to a platform. It's like it's like
a great actor who can be serious, can be funny,
can be lighthearted. The best ones can pull it off
in whatever circumstances because they're really good at pretending.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
He may be the goat, like like there are there
are there are other great movie makers out there, but Spielberg,
and at least the last fifty years, it's hard to
compete with the stuff that he's done. Anyway, it's been
fun to kind of just chat about that. This is
the innocent conversations that I like to have. And fun
fact about the about this sequel of Five Goes West.

(07:14):
And the only reason I bring this up is because
it's fairly fascinating. Did you know you know Jimmy Stewart,
James Stewart, the the guy.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, I just pulled the moon down right now? Yeah,
that guy. Yeah, he's the Washington He's a mister Smith
goes to Washington.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
You know.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
He leaves in some of some you know big one. Uh,
what is it called? The uh, the Christmas one? Oh,
it's it's a wonderful that's the one.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
That's the one. Yeah, it sure is. Every time the
door rings, an angel gets her wings, I don't know,
or something like that.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
I don't think he says that line. Does he say
it in the beginning? Yeah, that's that's a good one.
He also a veteran in the Army and the Air Force, so, uh,
you know, good jim Jimmy Stewart.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
What a guy.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Anyway, his last film credit is uh is a Fible
goes West. And obviously it's a voice job, so he
wasn't actually seen in this movie. But wow, he's a
wiley Burp, which I think is a pretty obvious line
to Wyatt Erp. But there you go, pretty pretty awesome. Yeah,

(08:26):
So there you go. Fun little side conversation today. So yeah,
Jimmy Stewart, I know you're on the phone. The last
role is Fivele Goes West as Wiley Burp. What yep?

Speaker 3 (08:36):
Are you serious?

Speaker 2 (08:37):
That is?

Speaker 1 (08:38):
I have it right in from it's the last the
movie in American tale, File Goes West actually is on display.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
See I knew, I may I knew. I loved that movie.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Like it's on display at the Jimmy Stewart to what
is it called the Jimmy Stewart Museum or whatever, the
Jimmy Stewart Museum, that's what it's called. Yeah, it's been
it's been pre resented there four separate times as because
it's the last role.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
That he ever had.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
So there you go, and it has been referenced by
many TV shows as well.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
Now have you seen this, as you are a certified
you know, dog person, all right, like you love your greyhounds.
Have you seen the clip of Jimmy Stewart on the
Johnny Carson Show and he's reading a letter. I want
to say it's a letter that he wrote about about
his dog that had passed away.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Oh, I couldn't. I can't.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Possibly you will know absolutely ten out of ten you
will be in tears.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
I do not want to.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
I'm glad that you brought that to my attention. I
will pass on that if it ever comes up in
your YouTube. Fee just know that it's very touching and wonderful.
But just skip it. I you know, sometimes you just
have to be like you have to just discernment is
sometimes an important thing to be aware of. Right, Hey
Zeus is on a phone on a four h two five, five,
eight to eleven, ten, Hey Zeus, what's on your mind today?

Speaker 4 (09:57):
Hello? Everything back going from here? It's backwards. But Jimmy Stewart,
if you didn't think, one thing you didn't know is
that when he took that role, it's a wonderful life.
He was suffering through PTSD and that movie helped him
through the demons that he was going through when he

(10:18):
went through that movie about forgiveness, about redemption and that.
So that movie helped Jimmy Stewart so much.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Like for real, not even just his character in the movie,
but but really like in real life.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
It is real life because of what he suffered when
he was in the military. Well, that there's your one
fact for that story. Also, you know, for the Press secretary,
it's easy to get ready for somebody who keeps trying
to do the same playbook over and over again. All

(10:51):
they were doing was accusing the Republicans on what they
keep doing over and over again, and that's spending taxpayers money.
It's not. What happens is that politicians think that it's
their money. And that's on both sides. I'm sorry for sure,
that is their money. It's not their money, it is

(11:12):
the taxpayers money. And they're supposed to serve the citizens
of this country, not you know, the illegal They're supposed
to serve the citizen when they take their oaths of office.
That's what they take their oaths of office for, is
to serve the people of the USA.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Definitely, they're not doing that.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
And then too, the tumor. I mean, he is continuing
to we're still under Biden's budget right now. We haven't
done anything yet. This is not anything has because Trump
has only been in their run of week and change.
So this is all under the four years of Biden,
and he's trying to they're trying to put all this

(11:55):
stuff that they were doing and spending and everything all
on Trump when it's not okay. Yeah, Another thing is
you are in debt thirty eight trillion dollars national debt
is now right. Uh, then if you're just panding out
money all over the place, then you're actually overtaching the

(12:17):
overtaxing your citizens. Yeah, you're spending all of.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Them, no doubt.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
He he. I appreciate the call man, thanks for listening
to the show today.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
Take care, Thank you.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Yeah, you as well. Yeah, it is fascinating.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
You know, you kind of want a few different directions there,
But there's there's no doubt that I think most of
us who are conservative want to be conservative fiscally, and
it starts with saving our own money, right like, and
we don't like seeing our hard earned dollars going to
stuff that isn't useful to us. I could be talked
into certain projects and things that can make my community better,
make my neighborhood better, make our lives better.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
But you want to know something.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
You know, there's a lot of red tape and a
lot of legal ease that you know, if you're going
to truly understand where your tax money goes. George is
on the line. George wants talk a bit more about
Jimmy Stewart. Hey, George, what's.

Speaker 5 (13:02):
Up, hey, brother? Jimmys are the greatest ever first health
he is on like thirty eight bombings of World War Two? Yeah,
but as far as the greatest movie he was ever
opinion in my opinion was the man who shot Liberty Balance. Yeah,
but about his son. The son was killed in Vietnam
is a United States Marine and Dick Cavots got him on.

(13:24):
This is probably the mid seventies, after the war's over,
and the question he asked him. He goes, you know,
do you think your son's life was wasted? You know,
he's killed in Vietnam. And Jimmy Stewart said, my son,
you know all the many served us were there and
my son died tried to save another man. He goes,
I think I raised my son right, And he goes, what,
you know, greater sacrifice could I give? I gave my

(13:46):
son who died doing things. I taught him how to
be nice and take care of somebody else. He goes, No,
my son's life wasn't wasted.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
What a powerful what a powerful moment.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
And just a guy that people in general, you know,
like in Hollywood, you hear these horror stories of some
of these people that may not have been great to
work with. You don't hear anything like that about Jimmy Stewart,
despite having like a career that spanned from the mid
thirties all the way to the nineties, right, I mean,
this is he really just everybody loved.

Speaker 5 (14:13):
Him absolutely, and everybody everybody that I've ever talked to.
I got a friend that was a bartender in Don
Wayne shot and he said Jimmy Stewart was the nicest
man he's ever met in his life.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Unreal.

Speaker 5 (14:24):
He go, It's just unbelievable. He'd come up on a
deck and just sit with the crew, you know, have
a beer and say, hey, guys, what's going on today.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
You love that.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
You wish there were more people like that, especially today. Hey, George,
great stuff, Thanks for calling in, brother. Yeah, And he
mentioned the best movie that he thinks Jimmy Stewart was
in was the man who shot Liberty Valance. That is
John Wayne film from the early sixties, and it's one
of my dad's faves. I think, you know, I remember
seeing that one. It's just like man, John Wayne, what

(14:52):
a guy. Look Jimmy Stewart, he's going toe to toe
with him. My favorite Jimmy Stewart movie is also my favorite.
Alfred hitchc Hmmm, rear window, rear windows. Yeah, such a
good one, such a good one, all shot in one location,
the whole movie, from front to back. Hitchcock would have
to be in this conversation for the Goat filmmaker. Yeah,

(15:17):
Spielberg and Hitchcock, we could start. We can start there, right,
isn't that Grace Kelly too, Grace Kelly in there sounds right? Yeah, yeah, man,
she was in a lot of Hitchcock and she was great. Anyway,
three forty eight, we'll have more on the way on
news radio eleven ten kfab.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Em Rie's songer on news radio eleven ten kfab.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
I just gotta be I gotta be honest with you.
It's just fun to not talk about something super duper serious,
don't you like that?

Speaker 3 (15:44):
Every once in a while it is nice, yeah, to
break up the seriousness with a little silly.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Although I'm still kind of peeved about those drons. Well, yeah,
I know that.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
That's yeah right, It's like if it was just that
the whole time just say something like what are we
talking about? It's got to be a reason why he
didn't say something.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Uh yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
But again, it also happened in that weird two and
a half month span where our current or the at
the time current president is on his way out and
knows he's on his way out and he's still got
the power, and the incoming president doesn't really have access
to any of what's going on out there, you know
what I mean, It's easy how we get distracted.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
Though.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
We talked about those new Jersey drones like every day
for a week because people were saying that they were
seeing them, they couldn't understand where they were coming from,
and it had Congress all like in a tizzy, and
we were all like you know, coming up with their
own conspiracy theories about exactly what was happening. And then
we just kind of forgot and we moved on. And
now we find out a month and a half later
that it was actually it was nothing. I mean, it

(16:45):
was just some testing and research being done with flights
that were directly approved by the FAA, and then some
hobbyists decided they were going to you know, increase the numbers.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
I'm not about to start calling myself Matt Stradamis. I
certainly won't start calling me Matt Stradamis or allow anyone
else to call me Matt Stradamis. But I will say
that it's exactly how I thought it would play out.
Don't start calling me Matt Stradama.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
I'm not going to.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
If you say it again, I may that. I don't
know what the punishment would be, but gosh, I mean,
I've heard that name enough now that doesn't work, and
we're not going to go there.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
I mean, you say it enough, Matt's Stradamis. It just
gets some people's subconscious and so maybe they'll slip it
into conversation. If you do, I forgive you. Don't start
calling me Matt Stradamis. But it is exactly how I
thought that would play out to the letter. It's weird
how many things I get right in my own head,
in my own thinky thoughts. But you won't just like
say it. You won't put yourself out there. I'm a coward.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
It gets down to it, like we weren't such a coward.
Maybe I'd accept some of the nicknames that you give yourself. Oh, Okay,
all right, I'll buck up. Maybe that's what I gotta do.
Buck up, belly up to the table, and accept the monark.
You know what, folks there it is.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
I don't want it, but it's laying out there and
memory's telling me to take it. His word's not mine,
Matt stradamis it is? That's not how this worked. It's
not no.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
You know you are.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
You're revision You're going with revisionist history on how you
felt this was going to play out, even though you
didn't tell anybody. And now you think that that's me
giving you credence to call yourself Matt stradamis which no
one is going to call you. No one, no one,
not a single person except you. I mean, I guess,
but you want to know what I think? I think

(18:25):
if you really thought that, and you really felt confident
about it, you should have just said it on the air.
I put my neck out and get you know, crapped
on by you know, the American people who are like,
ever you were wrong about this, Now I'm wrong. I'm
wrong plenty. I'm willing to admit it. You're not going
to bat a thousand. In fact, you know the best
sports gamblers ever are like fifty four or fifty five percent. Wow,

(18:48):
So I mean think about that. That's a razor thin margin.
And it's just a matter of like being smart about
what you actually bet on, take advantage of the ones
that you win, but you you do your fair share
of losing, even if you're really great.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Same here, right, and you.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Know what, I've been right about some things too, you know. So,
but I don't call myself Emory a domis. It doesn't
roll off the tongue as well. The master domas doesn't either.
Oh it doesn't. No, it doesn't. There's too many teas
in that word. I'll make another big bold prediction. Okay,
fire away.

Speaker 4 (19:18):
Now.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
If you do bull predictions and you say them before
something happens and then you're right, then we'll talk about
calling you master domas.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Okay. I don't think those condoms are making it to Gaza. Well,
of course they're not. That's the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
People who are listening and did not hear the last
hour have no idea what this is. Caroline Levitt said
that fifty million dollars of some of this federal aid
that has been frozen, they found doge and the the
O people. The other one that I'm forgetting now, Omb's
that's what it is.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah, the Omb people.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
They were like, hey, there's fifty million dollars as he
needed to send condoms to Gaza. Real thing, real thing.
We will replay that audio later in the show. You
don't want to miss it, or maybe you do, I
don't know. Anyway, we have two more hours. Can you
believe that? Coming up on news radio eleven ten kfab
