Speaker 7 (06:35):
Up a long long.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Our guest Star of the Week Mel Tillis and a
pretty song called New Patches is Jimmy Dean sausage really
America's favorite sausage.
Speaker 13 (06:56):
Well, I think if you sell more of it than
anybody else in the country, you would have to say
that it is America's favorite sausage.
Speaker 14 (07:06):
Do you do that? Yeah, we do.
Speaker 13 (07:07):
We sell more sausage that breakfast sausage. You see when
you say sausage. It takes in maloney in a lot
of things like that, but breakfast sausage, we sell more
of it than anybody in this country.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
How many varieties do you make?
Speaker 13 (07:21):
We make four hot, that's mine, that's what I like,
and then we make the regular, and then we make
the that saved sausage is good too, that's the old
country sausage. And then we make that extra mild, which
you can have. I don't like it, you know, as
a fella said, any kissed to metal. Everybody their own taste,
but that mild was not made for me. Jimmy Dean sausage, Hot, Regular,
(07:45):
Extra mile or special recipe. It's the finest quality that's made,
and it tastes good.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Along the way, we've been talking about the new movie
called Uphill All the Way with Roy Clark and tell
Us as the principles. You're being compared by those who
have reviewed a little bit of the picture to Laurel
and Hardy or I would say maybe the Abbott and Costell.
(08:13):
Roy Clark is kind of your straight man of this picture,
isn't he?
Speaker 15 (08:16):
He?
Speaker 6 (08:18):
Roy is just uh you know, either the camera it
locks you or it doesn't. And the camera loves Roy Clark.
He's unnatural.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Did you cast this picture?
Speaker 7 (08:30):
Uh? Yeah, most of it? Yes?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Why did you pick Roy Clark?
Speaker 7 (08:33):
Well, it was a mutual thing. See he had he
had the script before I did.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Oh uh, and nothing was ever done, nobody could ever
get theirselves motivated uh and doing it. Then I got
ahold of the script, and I waited for seven years
for somebody to do something. And I found out that
if you wait, you're gonna that's exactly what you're gonna do.
So uh we put it together. I ask uh Roy
(09:02):
if he still wanted to do the movie, and he said, yes,
I do. I said, let's start a company. So we
started Melroy Productions and we formed the company ourselves, and yeah, that's.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
How that happened. But I'd always I wanted to uh
work with uh Roy.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
It seems like when I get around him. He knows
what I'm thinking, and I pretty well know what he's thinking.
Mm hm for some reason. I mean, the chemistry is
there and and it showed.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
It came off.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Now, let mean, let's touch on aspect of a movie making.
People don't think about movies are expensive, so you had
to you had to put together a group of investors.
You've got people to invest in this picture.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
Right. Raising the money it was the easiest thing. But
all right, now, the hardest thing was getting spend it.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Huh.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
The hardest thing was spending it.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Raising the money the three and a half million dollars
was easy. It took two months. One guy took a million,
seven hundred and fifty thousand bucks.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
That was easy.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
The hardest was getting it clear through the security exchange.
You had to go through the Blue Skies laws of
each state that I did business in, and I had
to do a prospectus and after the perspectives, you have
to do a legal document which is called private.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
Placement memorandum.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Is this because they're buying stock in the picture right.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Points and the money see as I, as the money
was invested, I would put that into an interest.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
Bearing escual camp.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Well, you can't break the escueroll legally until all the
money is in, it's been cleared through the security exchange and.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
All the laws. See, I did it legally.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
I didn't go out and do it this without some
kind of protection from my investors. And if I had
to do it that way, I wouldn't have done it.
And I'm glad I went through it. I learned so much.
Next time I won't have to hire a lawyer. I
learned so much. But it's interesting and I'm glad we
did it that way.
Speaker 14 (11:32):
All right.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
The average man on the street would say, Meil Tillis
is very successful. He's a multi millionaire. Roy Clark is
a multimillionaire. Why did they need to go out and
borrow money from anybody else?
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Well, you don't put your own money in inventures like this.
It isn't because that you don't believe in the project.
You know, we believe in it. That's the fastest way
to go broke, really using your own money.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
Uh huh uh uh uh.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
That's why when you see guys like uh Clint Eastwood.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
He got millions and millions of dollars, you.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
Know, uh uh supposedly uh uh, But a studio backs
him are uh are an independent guy?
Speaker 7 (12:28):
Will alike on Cannonball and spoke in a bandit?
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Uh those movies were funded by a guy from Hong Kong.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
Raymond Chow all right now.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
But none of the guys put their own Some of
them do, like this the the uh a fella who
almost a lot.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Cupolo Francis Ford.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
Yeah, yeah, he puts a lot of his money in.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Let me ask you this, but want to want a
guy said, guy invest a million and a half in
in your picture? Does he want some creative control or
are you able to maintain all that creative control?
Speaker 7 (13:09):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (13:10):
Well that's he no no, uh, I mean he believes
in us, or else he wouldn't have done that. See
if anybody, anybody puts a me in and a half
in your pocket uh uh to do your projec uh
a project. He believes in you, and those people believes
in me and Roy okay, and we told them that
(13:31):
we won't let them down, and we won't. I don't
think you even if we uh uh, if we see
that it doesn't do any good.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
If the movie doesn't do any good, which there's no
way for it it not to.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
But if if something was to happen. They'll get their
money back.
Speaker 1 (13:50):

We make four hot, that's mine, that's what I like,
and then we make the regular, and then we make
the that saved sausage is good too, that's the old
country sausage. And then we make that extra mild, which
you can have. I don't like it, you know, as
a fella said, any kissed to metal. Everybody their own taste,
but that mild was not made for me. Jimmy Dean sausage, Hot, Regular,
(07:45):
Extra mile or special recipe. It's the finest quality that's made,
and it tastes good.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Along the way, we've been talking about the new movie
called Uphill All the Way with Roy Clark and tell
Us as the principles. You're being compared by those who
have reviewed a little bit of the picture to Laurel
and Hardy or I would say maybe the Abbott and Costell.
(08:13):
Roy Clark is kind of your straight man of this picture,
isn't he?
Speaker 15 (08:16):
He?
Speaker 6 (08:18):
Roy is just uh you know, either the camera it
locks you or it doesn't. And the camera loves Roy Clark.
He's unnatural.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Did you cast this picture?
Speaker 7 (08:30):
Uh? Yeah, most of it? Yes?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Why did you pick Roy Clark?
Speaker 7 (08:33):
Well, it was a mutual thing. See he had he
had the script before I did.
Speaker 6 (08:37):
Oh uh, and nothing was ever done, nobody could ever
get theirselves motivated uh and doing it. Then I got
ahold of the script, and I waited for seven years
for somebody to do something. And I found out that
if you wait, you're gonna that's exactly what you're gonna do.
So uh we put it together. I ask uh Roy
(09:02):
if he still wanted to do the movie, and he said, yes,
I do. I said, let's start a company. So we
started Melroy Productions and we formed the company ourselves, and yeah, that's.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
How that happened. But I'd always I wanted to uh
work with uh Roy.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
It seems like when I get around him. He knows
what I'm thinking, and I pretty well know what he's thinking.
Mm hm for some reason. I mean, the chemistry is
there and and it showed.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
It came off.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Now, let mean, let's touch on aspect of a movie making.
People don't think about movies are expensive, so you had
to you had to put together a group of investors.
You've got people to invest in this picture.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
Right. Raising the money it was the easiest thing. But
all right, now, the hardest thing was getting spend it.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Huh.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
The hardest thing was spending it.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Raising the money the three and a half million dollars
was easy. It took two months. One guy took a million,
seven hundred and fifty thousand bucks.
Speaker 7 (10:19):
That was easy.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
The hardest was getting it clear through the security exchange.
You had to go through the Blue Skies laws of
each state that I did business in, and I had
to do a prospectus and after the perspectives, you have
to do a legal document which is called private.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
Placement memorandum.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Is this because they're buying stock in the picture right.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Points and the money see as I, as the money
was invested, I would put that into an interest.
Speaker 7 (10:58):
Bearing escual camp.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
Well, you can't break the escueroll legally until all the
money is in, it's been cleared through the security exchange and.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
All the laws. See, I did it legally.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
I didn't go out and do it this without some
kind of protection from my investors. And if I had
to do it that way, I wouldn't have done it.
And I'm glad I went through it. I learned so much.
Next time I won't have to hire a lawyer. I
learned so much. But it's interesting and I'm glad we
did it that way.
Speaker 14 (11:32):
All right.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
The average man on the street would say, Meil Tillis
is very successful. He's a multi millionaire. Roy Clark is
a multimillionaire. Why did they need to go out and
borrow money from anybody else?
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Well, you don't put your own money in inventures like this.
It isn't because that you don't believe in the project.
You know, we believe in it. That's the fastest way
to go broke, really using your own money.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
Uh huh uh uh uh.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
That's why when you see guys like uh Clint Eastwood.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
He got millions and millions of dollars, you.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
Know, uh uh supposedly uh uh, But a studio backs
him are uh are an independent guy?
Speaker 7 (12:28):
Will alike on Cannonball and spoke in a bandit?
Speaker 6 (12:32):
Uh those movies were funded by a guy from Hong Kong.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
Raymond Chow all right now.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
But none of the guys put their own Some of
them do, like this the the uh a fella who
almost a lot.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Cupolo Francis Ford.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
Yeah, yeah, he puts a lot of his money in.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Let me ask you this, but want to want a
guy said, guy invest a million and a half in
in your picture? Does he want some creative control or
are you able to maintain all that creative control?
Speaker 7 (13:09):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (13:10):
Well that's he no no, uh, I mean he believes
in us, or else he wouldn't have done that. See
if anybody, anybody puts a me in and a half
in your pocket uh uh to do your projec uh
a project. He believes in you, and those people believes
in me and Roy okay, and we told them that
(13:31):
we won't let them down, and we won't. I don't
think you even if we uh uh, if we see
that it doesn't do any good.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
If the movie doesn't do any good, which there's no
way for it it not to.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
But if if something was to happen. They'll get their
money back.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You give it to him out of yeah, oh yeah,
you're an honest man. Miss Barbara Mandrew's gonna sing an
old tune called Crackers.
