What makes someone truly great at what they do? Is it natural talent, relentless work ethic, or something deeper? Chuck, Luke, and John explore this question through their personal top five entertainment sources—a journey that reveals as much about them as it does about their selections.
The conversation kicks off with Ernest Hemingway's profound observation: "There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man. True nobility is being superior to your former self." This philosophy of continuous self-improvement echoes throughout their choices, from legendary athletes to groundbreaking comedians.
Comedy features prominently with nods to The Three Stooges for their pioneering work during challenging times for Jewish performers, Robin Williams for his unmatched improvisational brilliance, and Dave Chappelle for his unapologetic authenticity. From the world of athletics, Michael Jordan, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, Tom Brady, and Muhammad Ali earn recognition not just for their athletic dominance, but for how they elevated teammates and stood for their beliefs.
The arts receive equal attention with Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington praised for their acting range and personal values. Musical selections highlight harmony and instrumental complexity, with bands like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and multi-instrumentalists like Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones making the cut. Even literature finds its place with "Where the Red Fern Grows" celebrated for its emotional impact across generations.
What emerges is a fascinating portrait of what these hosts truly value: authenticity, continuous improvement, versatility, and the ability to elevate others. Their selections transcend entertainment categories to reveal universal human qualities that inspire across mediums and generations.

Some summer plans.
We're looking at going downthrough Kansas City and going to
Table Rock.
We're going to be going to thatone too.
Coming back, the Royals areplaying the Pirates.
Might have to stop.
Pirates are what I call myfavorite team, just because
they're out of Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
But you know what's your connection with Pittsburgh,
having grown up in Stanton.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I don't know.
I just like the Steelers andthen the Pirates were pretty
good when I was growing up and Ilike the Pirates Willie
Stargell Are you a Penguins fan.

It's just Pirates.

He walked the wall Through theguy that tagged out at third out

Speaker 3 (01:43):
Did you guys see that highlight of um?
It was college the guy fallingout of the stands.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
No, that's all that too.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
That might've been a low light, I'm not sure it was.
Um a girl.
She's pitching softball and she.
She pitched the ball and hercleat clicked um.
Kicked up some a clot of dirtthat got in front of the ball
before it was pitched.
Kicked up a clod of dirt thatgot in front of the ball before
it was pitched.
As the ball was passing through, it hit that clod of dirt and
caused the dirt to hit thecatcher in the eye and messed up
(02:14):
her catch.
Wow, isn't that crazyInteresting.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Just a weird sequence of events.
I saw one pitcher that hit herleg and the pitch went off.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Probably still the best pitch is Rainey Johnson
exploding the bird.
Oh, that was a good one, yeah,absolutely.
Well freaking hilarious.
I mean amazing, but not ifyou're not much.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I've never seen that happen before.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
So you know, we're talking about these great plays,
great things and gosh, let'stalk about top five
entertainment sources,entertainers, whatever, and
we'll kind of go through topfive.
We did movies last time, whynot entertainers?
(03:02):
I?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
think I'm going to break.
I think I'm going to breaktradition here.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I'm going to start with a quote.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Oh, that sounds good.
Go ahead, Are we?
Are you allowed to do that?
Let's hear, let's hear youquote.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
We can do anything.
It's our podcast.
I can go the door's right there, chuck.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I can go If we were in my garage.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I'd be like what If we were in your garage?
I'd be like what?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
No, that's true.
If we were in your garage, Iwouldn't even Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Let's hear it there is nothing noble in being
superior to your fellow man.
True nobility is being superiorto your former self.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
That's good, that's good Ernest Hemingway.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Hmm, as we're going to talk about, things that we
see are superior to others.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
When I look at that, it's getting better every day.
Okay, putting in that work,bettering yourself in whatever
you do.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Where did that come from?
Like you just.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Ernest Hemingway Taking a little nip, gotcha A
little nip and tuck and came upwith it.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
That's how we did it A little philosophizer.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
You bet Top five entertainers, tuk, and came up
with it.
That's how we did itphilosophize.
Yeah, absolutely.
You bet top five entertainersand luke.
You kind of came up with thiswhat, what did you mean?
What?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I what I think.
What I think is cool is likewhen we talked about the movies
before you know it tells yousome things.
But I think that it also, if wejust pick top, we kind of left
it wide open, like initially itwas like entertainers, but then,
like john said, it could besources of entertainment, it
could be anything.
But I think it just kind ofpaints a picture and lets people
understand that we come fromall different walks of life and
(04:33):
whatever, and sometimes ourfocuses could be on different
things, but we can still be likewow, you know, that's a pretty
good answer.
That's pretty cool.
I never thought of that or, youknow, whatever it is so um.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Are we going to?
How are we going to do this?
We're going to go one by one.
Yeah, we'll do it like we didbefore.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
But each time we go around you just name the genre
and whatever it is.
Did you?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
guys have a like a rubric that you ran your things
through, Like how did you figureout what was your top?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I kind of did the same thing.
I just I just kind of startednaming things and then put them
into genres and I took thenumber one, one out of each
genre got you.
Yeah, it was hard because, eventhough one of my genres is
labeled other because I don'treally know exactly, because
this thing could actually fitinto a few different ones, but
they were definitely going to beon my list somewhere you know
(05:21):
there's, there's a lot of topperformers.
I guess is what we're or topthings that, um, like stuff you
really enjoy, you know, stuffthat brings you happiness or
thought or focus or whatever,you know, yeah, so who wants to
start?
Won't you start?
Oh, okay, you know.
(05:43):
In that vein, I think I willstart with my other category.
Okay, okay, and it's not oneperson, it's three people, but
they're in a group together, thethree stooges all right okay, I
like that and one of thereasons that I picked them as
(06:04):
one of my favorites obviously,as a kid, um watched a lot,
watched a ton of them, and mymom wasn't always happy about
that because I always would tryto do some of the things that
they did, which probably weren'tthe great things to do.
But as I got older and reallydid read about them like I've
got a bunch of books on them andread about their history and
they're all jewish and comingthrough the times when they did
(06:26):
in the 30s and the 40s, with allthe things that were going on
with the war and everything else, they were really going into
mainstream more than anybodyreally thought that they would.
And if you watch a bunch oftheir shorts, they were talking
about topics that most Jewswouldn't touch and they made a
(06:47):
lot of parody jokes about theNazis and a lot of things they
were very, very much workingtoward through comedy obviously
through slapstick comedy, as wewould probably call it.
But they started on Broadwayand they were there.
They were performers for yearsand they were musicians and I
think that they did a great jobof performing.
(07:08):
You've got a picture of Moimpersonating Hitler, you know,
which was hilarious, but theydid it in a way that was still,
if you want to say, had someclass to it.
You know what I mean.
So I just always I looked atthem as cutting edge, like they
were doing things that no otherperformers at the time in that
realm were doing For the longesttime.
(07:30):
They were the largest Columbiacontract ever of how much money
they got.
Wow At the time.
For years and years into the70s, I think, almost into the
80s, I believe.
How many of them were actuallybrothers.
Moe, Curly and Shemp, and Larrywas a family friend, Larry was
a Feinstein yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah, feinstein so it was Larry, they were all.
Howard was their name.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
That was their last name, Curly's real name.
Do you know what it was?
Charles?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Jerome, jerome.
Yeah, but when they came to,larry had that curly hair and Mo
had the straight cut and Curlyhad this curly blocks of hair,
this curly all over the place.
Well, larry already had that,so they never called him Curly
before that.
But he left the set and wentand got his head shaved, came
(08:20):
back with tears in his eyes andsaid I'm in because they needed
one other haircut.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Right.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
So they called him Curly.
From that from then on, to lethim remember his hair Wow.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Yeah, interesting.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
That's my first one.
That's what I'm leading offwith.
I like that.
I like it.
That's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I'm a victim of circumstance, go ahead Every
Sunday.
Yep Used to watch those.
My turn, your turn, you know.
I went with people and there'sa lot of great people out there
and I stuck with theentertainment and sports world.
And I'm going to start off witha comedian, robin Williams.
(08:58):
Okay, he's one of my favorites,just uh, he was just fun to
watch and his mind works soincredibly interesting uh, with
what he would come up with.
And if you watch interviews ofhim, he just is, it's just fun.
(09:24):
I like Mork and Mindy and umhim and Jonathan fun.
I like mork and mindy and umhim and jonathan winners.
On mork and mindy, I don't knowif you ever remember that that
was just and jonathan winnerswas great too, but uh, robin
williams was, and and then hebranched off of comedy and did
some other things as an actorand I just thought he really
(09:48):
epitomizes somebody who is oneof the top in his profession.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
You mentioned Jonathan Winters.
You know where he's from.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Dayton Ohio.
Yeah, Wow.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Got his start at WING Radio and worked with my dad.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
My dad spun records at WINING way back in the day.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Wow, no, not scratching records, not
scratching records, he spun them.
But anyways, yeah, a littleCool Claim to fame Robin
Williams.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
All right, so my fifth one here.
You guys might be a little bitsurprised at, but it's also a
comedian, but it's probably oneof the most unlikely comedians
that you guys think I wouldappreciate.
Hit us, dave Chappelle.
Oh, dave Chappelle.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Hilarious.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yeah Well, a lot of people are probably going to be
surprised at that, seeing how,you know, I've been a pastor and
you know those types of things.
And when you look at DavidChappelle's type of humor, it's
pretty crass, you know, Just alittle, Cusses a lot.
But the thing that really drawsme in about him is the way he
treats his comedy as aconversation and he kind of
(11:00):
draws you in and hits on somepretty important subjects as
he's going through his bit.
But he is hilarious and if youcan get past some of the
crassness of his bit.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
You know he crosses controversial stuff too.
Yeah, he does, which is okay.
I don't mind it.
But what I do like is, itcracks me up when he does it is
that he'll come back the nextshow or whatever it is, and
he'll say you know, I saidsomething last show about this
and you think he's going toapologize for it.
No, he doubles down and he goesdown.
It cracks me up becauseeverybody's like, oh, he's going
(11:35):
to apologize.
No, he's not.
He might say maybe I shouldn'thave said that, but in its place
I'll say this.
You know, and it's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Oh, he cracks me up.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I like that one.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
It is good.
All right, you're up next.
All right, let's see, I'm goingto go with movie actor, okay,
all right, as you know, thiswould be very difficult for me,
(12:07):
all right.
So what I kind of started doingin my head was taking these
actors and actresses that Iliked a lot and listing movies,
and kind of the one that had themost movies was kind of the
winner.
And you know some of the moviesI'm sure I don't know from
every actor.
I mean, I know a lot of them,but Morgan Freeman, is way up
high on my list of actors andjust going through, like some of
them, obviously, in shawshank,which we had in our list last
week, um, but the whole hasfallen series, it was, uh,
(12:31):
olympia angel in london hasfallen.
Great, those, um, we had uh, hewas in dark knight, which he
was really good in that bucketlist.
Along came a spider undersuspicion maiden heist so good,
there's just so many good movies, but probably one of the
favorites that I have is a quotethat we use all the time, but
(12:52):
it's the number seven is themovie seven and brad pitt's in
it and, oh my, kevin spacey's init.
Such a dark movie.
It's about the seven deadlysins oh, my gosh, my gosh.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Oh, you know, I think I remember that's whenever we
say what's in the box that's himsaying that's not him, that's
Brad Pitt saying it.
Sure.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Oh great, so I put him right up there, and he's
probably one of my favoriteactors, for sure.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
He's great.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, and I think when I a super serious, you can
do a funny, you can do aextrovert or an introvert, you
can do anything.
And I think that his range isall over the place.
So that's what really struck meabout him.
So there's mine, nice Cool.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Did you ever watch Electric Company?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
The PBS show.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
So that was Morgan Freeman.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Oh, I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Oh yeah, I didn't know that I didn't know that,
but yeah, I didn't watch it verymuch.
Is that the pbs show?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
yeah, yeah yeah all right, my turn right.
I am going to go with afootball player okay, and not
necessarily a favorite team ofmine, but he, he, he grew on me
and became a a favorite of mine.
But he, he, he grew on me andbecame a a favorite of mine and
I think he, he is one of the oneof the best.
(14:12):
Tom Brady, okay, and I'll sayhe's one of the best because he
just made everybody around himbetter.
He would go through receiversand line and any played forever,
which which is, you know,longevity is a part of it too
but he would go throughdifferent people and just have,
(14:35):
you know, a great team, yearafter year after year.
And I am not a Patriots fan,but I became a Tom Brady fan,
especially after he left thePatriots.
But, uh yeah, he, just, he justmade people better and I I
think that's what made him oneof my top five.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I am not a Patriots fan at all and I'm kind of in
the same boat as you are.
I extremely disliked them whenBledsoe was there, and then,
when Tom Brady took over, Iliked them even less.
Yep, because he's a Michiganguy.
Well, yeah, but over the yearsthe dude was Blake Bloomer we
call that.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, kind of like your guys.
In the draft you had all thoseones toward the end.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah, that in the draft.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
You had all those ones toward the end.
Yeah, yeah, he was.
He was low, but you know what?
97 when they won the nationalchampionship.
He was second stringquarterback in michigan behind
greasy yeah, I know brian greasywho's that was a quarterback
factory for a while.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Yeah, it was but no, it, it's, uh, it's one of those
things that I'm he kind of.
I kind of warmed up to himafter a bit and I was actually
rooting for him when he was atTampa Bay to win his last one.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah, and I don't do that very often, but I did for
him.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Yeah, All right number four.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I'm also in the.
I'm not going by numbers.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah, I'm not either, but go ahead, okay.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
You can do whatever you want.
But my next one would beMichael Jordan.
I went to the athletics worldas well, and the reason I chose
him, obviously he was prettyinfluential when I was growing
up and those shoes actually,whenever they first came out
back in the 80s, I kind ofthought they were ugly.
I didn't think they were thegreatest looking shoes I still
(16:15):
think they are.
But a lot of people like himnow, you know, and he's the one
who made them famous, obviously.
So he did a lot of people likehim now, you know, and he's the
one who made him famous,obviously.
So he did a lot of amazingthings.
He was an incredible competitorStill is, you know, just has to
compete in different ways.
But he made my top five list.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Owns a race car team now?
Yep, he sure does, yep.
So, oh, that reminds me ofanother one.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Spilling over into mine now.
Um, I have uh, I wouldn't sayathletes too.
I have.
I have a couple picks there,but I have one that I put these
three together again.
Okay, I know, I'm cheating alittle bit but you are.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
But I'm gonna tell you why, though.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
But I'm gonna tell you why.
And the reason three stooges.
I could see, because the onethat I'm looking at at with some
of these things is that it'snot the three amigos, is it?
No, Okay good.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
They weren't athletes .
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I would say that I like groups that work in the
same way, that they're abouthard work and commitment and
putting it together for yourteam, whatever you have to do.
Okay, so I have Michael Jordanin there.
I have Walter Payton in there,okay, and I have Barry Sanders
(17:29):
in there, oh yeah, okay.
So you've got these three guysthat just epitomize the work
ethic.
They're going to put the timein, they're going to do the work
, they're going to do what theyneed to for their team.
Now, out of those three, youkind of look at them and Barry
Sanders, it's like man, he wasthere, he was there, he was
there, but he played for theLions when it was one of the
worst teams around and theydidn't give him a whole lot to
back up until they started torealize what they had.
(17:52):
By then it was kind of a littletoo late.
Looked at those guys like theydidn't just want the spotlight.
I mean they got it whether theywanted it or not?
but that wasn't what they werethere for.
You know most of them.
You know, for the most part,michael Jordan.
You know, when he spoke andwhen I was in Chicago for those
glory years, he really the mostof the time talked about his
(18:16):
teammates.
You know he didn't talk aboutjust himself, he talks about his
teammates in the work.
Walter Payton was the same way,barry Sanders was the same way,
although he didn't have a lotof teammates to talk about, but
it wasn't about him, you know,it was more about what he was
doing with the team or what washappening.
But he was very soft-spoken andso when I look at athletes, like
for the best athletes for me tothink of, those are the kind of
(18:38):
players that I think of.
So, think of, those are thekind of players that I think of.
So it's not just that they'remy favorite athletes, it's the
fact that they stand for what myfavorite thing is about the
game, yeah, and it's not justfootball.
I mean, michael jordanobviously was in basketball, but
you know there's been a lot ofpeople always talked about him
playing football.
It's kind of like lebron, likewell, he he made a little ways
(18:58):
in baseball right.
Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
You know, especially Walter Payton and Barry Sanders.
They did it their own way too.
I mean, they really On theirown terms.
They did it and they left ontheir own terms.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yeah, I mean they really One of the things I think
, as we were talking about arubric, that we put these things
through as I'm sitting here andyou mentioned it, Luke is
reflect maybe a little bit ofwhat we value.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
And, as I'm thinking, how does Dave Chappelle reflect
what I value?
It's authenticity.
Dave Chappelle is who he is.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
And he doesn't make any apologies for it?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
And so, as I was, trying to tie.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
He'll double down as a matter of fact, exactly right.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
So I am who I am, yeah, yeah, no, I like those.
Those three are super solidguys.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
That's good.
So it was a little bit of acheat, but that's what it was,
it's more about that you know welike that.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
You're up, John All right, I'll stick in the sports
world, although this person Ireally appreciate the
spokesmanship that he hadMuhammad Ali, just a great work
(20:17):
ethic, first of all, and aperson that stood up for what he
believed in.
Yeah, If you ever look at hisstory incredible story.
Definitely had a personalityand had a lot of personality.
Yeah, he kind of Believed inhimself and believed what he
(20:39):
believed too.
Talk about authenticity.
I think you get a lot ofauthenticity.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yeah, he kind of was waning as I was growing up.
I mean, I really don't rememberhim much from the 80s.
He was kind of over in the 70sfor the most part.
But you know, I've seen thereplays and some of the fights
and some of the speeches he'sgiven, those types of things.
But yeah that's a good choice,good one.
He's a GOAT, that's for sure.
(21:05):
All right, I'm going to veerfrom the athletics world and I'm
going into the literary world.
Nice, one of my top books ofall time, charlotte's Web.
No, oh, okay.
Where the Red Fern Grows oh,okay, yeah, I love that book.
It was, I remember, the firsttime I read.
I think I was 16 years old andI was up in my bedroom and I got
(21:31):
to the part which is the samepart I got to where when I read
it to my kids, but I startedcrying like crazy.
I mean, I was so sad.
I was so into this book becauseI don't even know who wrote it,
but the author did such a goodjob of creating a scene.
But I'm reading that same sceneto my kids when they're like I
don't know, eight, nine, 10years old, something like that.
(21:53):
And it's the scene where oldDan has died.
He got attacked by the lion tosave his buddy, his boy that
owned him, and so he has died.
He's buried up on the hill andlittle Ann she's just beside
herself Can't get away from thegrief that she's experiencing,
(22:18):
and so she goes up on the hillwhere old Dan is buried, lays
down and dies.
Sad book.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
But it's one of my all time favorites so awesome.
Lots of good memories readingthat to my kids.
They laugh at me to this daybecause of it.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
I am also going to step away from the athletic
venue.
I'm going to go to music.
Okay, I got one for music, andwhen I'm saying this one, I'm
going to call it vocal music,okay, and one of the things that
, well, john probably knows alittle bit about this, but the
(22:59):
one thing about music to me kindof goes along the same way with
what I was talking about withathletics.
Kind of like the three studentstogether, you know, working
together, doing something, theability for Morgan Freeman to do
all these different things, tohave multiple talents all over
the place.
So, once again, sorry, there'stwo bands that, uh, that I think
(23:28):
totally encompass this.
Okay, their music to me isgreat, I love the music, but I
love the harmony that they doI'm a big harmony guy.
Yeah, I love, and if you can putas many as many instruments
into a song as you possibly can,it's better for me like I like
brass in there, I like guitars,I like everything.
If they put an orchestra in theback, I'm good, you know, I
love it.
Crosby, stills, nash Young andSteely Dan.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Yeah, those are two of the same type of bands, so
when?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
you, um, when you listen to it.
I think one of the things forme with music is that music kind
of it's like what is that oldcommercial calgon, take me away,
right, the bath stuff?
This kind of takes me back, youknow, it takes me away and that
harmony puts me away.
(24:15):
You think you're crying whenyou're doing how, where the red
fern grows, yeah, I start going,it'll get me too.
Yeah, you know, because it'sjust one of those things that
it's just well.
What does harmony mean?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
right is everything working together, yeah, right.
So it's kind of the whole youknow.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
So that's what I got there yeah, I am going in the
same direction.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Yeah, I love those two choices Crosby Stills, nash
and Young.
I like them even better whenthey were Crosby Stills and Nash
, but when Neil Young came intothat group I think he added a
lot to it.
But you're right, the harmoniesand the way those tunes fit
(24:56):
together, it's good music.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
It's really good music it who's up?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
john john's up, all right.
Well, um, I'll go to justoverall entertainment okay and
longevity too.
Carol burnett I liked show.
I would not have expected that.
I liked her singing ability.
I mean she had a voice, shecould sing and her show was just
(25:28):
funny.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
And growing up in the late 70s, early 80s, you know,
on Saturday nights and we'dwatch it.
I love that they could laugh atthemselves oh yeah 100.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Just so much fun, they're watch the fun one to
watch, and I think those arerecorded live, weren't they were
?
Speaker 2 (25:52):
yes, yeah, they were in front of a, because that's
always one of the things that Ilove when you watch a movie and
then at the end in the trailerthey're playing the, or when the
credits they're playingbloopers, bloopers yeah and when
, a when an actor or somebodycan't stop laughing at what
they're gonna say yeah, becausethat's what they would do, like
they would try, you can seesometimes you know you get to
laughing and going saturday livesaturday live does that a lot
(26:14):
too where the guys are doing itand they're like they're trying
not to laugh, like to try tokeep their you know, but they
can't sometimes it's just toomuch but, they did that on that
show a lot, but they did it live, so it was always in there.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
You saw it was fun.
Tim conway, caribou net.
And what's the other guy's name?
Harvey corman yeah those threedid a bit that they just it was
hilarious.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Yeah, they were they were, tim conway could keep his
straight face.
The other two could not.
Yeah, they couldn't, but hecould yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Anyways, good stuff, All right.
Going back to the music,Michael Jackson.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
All right, all right, you got no qualms with me, yeah
.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I mean he's not on my list, but you know, incredible
he had the Thriller album Again,I was in junior high, high
school, when Thriller album cameout and MTV had just kind of
started and those videos, a lotof those videos were on Beat it,
and then he just continued toput.
(27:14):
Of course he had all that stuffwhen he was with the Jackson 5
too, but then he just continuedto put project after project
after project together well into, uh, well into the nineties and
, um, I just think he sustaineda good work.
Yeah, yeah, he was weird.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Well, yeah, I mean, we probably all are on some
level.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Yeah, but uh, he was a good.
I mean John's not.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
But not John's probably are.
Yeah, I don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
He's a great entertainer.
He, he was a great entertainer.
He was.
Yeah, I don't disagree.
I tend to actually move towarda little bit of his early stuff
before the Thriller album cameout.
Like Thriller was good at thetime, it was huge, obviously,
but even the ones right beforethat I thought he was really
there.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Yeah, Like it was good.
What were the ones like?
Speaker 2 (27:56):
what was one before?
Like what was that one song PYT, Wasn't that before?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Thriller.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
That was before Thriller.
I'm pretty sure there was acouple songs that were pretty
big before that, but that wasthe one that put him across the
world.
I mean, he was all over then,you know.
But I think are we on?
Am I the last one?
Last one, you're on your lastone.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Oh wow, Already.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
So as, like I said before, I had two music things,
so vocal music was one, my otherwas instrumentalist.
Okay, so, as I look at it,there was a few that you know.
I was looking at guitar players.
I was looking at some of theseother people that weren't
necessarily, you know, an entireband, but just somebody that
was in there.
And again, I look at range, ortheir ability to do multiple
(28:46):
things in the works they put in.
And you might be a littlesurprised at this one John Paul
Jones.
You know who that is.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Is he an actor?
Speaker 2 (28:56):
No, he's in a band.
He's a musician, but he's in aband.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Oh no, I don't.
He's the bassist for LedZeppelin.
Okay, oh, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
And you know, he played the bass, obviously in
the band which is one of my,probably in my top five bands, I
would say, of all time.
But he also played lead guitar,he played the mandolin.
He played the upright bass andthe cello, Played the lap guitar
.
He was multi-talented acrossthe way, but the music that he
(29:24):
created and some of the bestsongs that they've recorded over
the years during their bigstint in the 70s, 60s and 70s
Just incredible stuff that heput out and just the range that
he had the ability to play thatmusic on many different
instruments to do it just wascrazy.
I loved it.
He played the organ too.
Really so played some keyboards.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
On Paul Jones.
Yeah, man, you know, I wouldn'tknow that name.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Well, again, and I think it's one of those deals
where Behind the scenes guys asan idea.
Some of the other guys that Ihad on there were like Joe
Satriani, who was a greatguitarist, Eddie Van Halen,
who's one of the best in theworld.
All these people that aremusicians on their instruments
they're not necessarily knownfor their vocal, for their
(30:13):
singing.
Joe Bonamassa, what's that, Joe?
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Bonamassa yeah, yeah, what's that?
Joe Bonamassa?
Speaker 2 (30:17):
yeah, and even Bonham , the guy who was the drums for
the Led Zeppelin.
Same way.
I mean he passed away too earlytoo.
Stevie Ray Vaughan a lot ofguys like that but yeah, I think
that again, I think it's allstuff, that I think it's
important that when we talkedabout this, because it's
(30:38):
important to not just say youknow obviously what your
favorite things are, but to hearwhat everybody else is like oh,
maybe I'll go read that book.
Yeah, you know, I'll let youknow if I cry, cry a little bit.
I cry a lot anyway, so Iprobably will, but I think I've
read that book and I know thebook, but I don't remember the
last time I read it.
I don't read a whole lot ofbooks.
Yeah, that's a great book.
(31:00):
The last book I read was IHeard you Paint Houses.
That's the last one I read.
No, no, no, we'll tell youabout that some other day.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
That's another episode.
I think you didn't tell usabout that.
I think we did once, but we'lltalk about that some other time.
Sounds good, all right.
Last one for me.
This is a person that just it'skind of the other category all
around.
Okay, she's an entertainer,she's an entrepreneur, she
(31:28):
started out as a newscasterOprah Winfrey oh wow, just done
a lot of different things andjust respect the things that
she's done and come a long wayto get to where she is Did she
(31:50):
get started in Chicago?
I don't know if she startedthere.
I think it was North Carolinawhere she started.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
I think, it was North or South Carolina where she
started, and then she went toChicago and then she was in
Chicago, but I'm pretty sure itwas down south.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Yeah, but she's just done a lot and been an actress,
been a writer, has a podcast,been a great interviewer over
time and had her show yeah, justuh.
And and a great entrepreneur,as a lot of has made a lot of
(32:30):
money because of some of thethings that she's done.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
So I.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
I I respect that too.
Gives cars out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So anyway, that was.
That's a good one, that was oneof mine.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Well, my last one is Denzel Washington.
He made the list, obviously,and you know, remember the
Titans, equalizer, just a ton ofgood movies that he's made.
And again I kind of think Imean, obviously I don't know him
, but I've read some stuff abouthim and I think, from a values
perspective, the things he saysat interviews and at graduation
(33:06):
ceremonies, uh, he reflects someof the values I think I have
and, um, so yeah, he's one ofthe.
It's a good one.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
One of the top he.
One of the top.
He was in my list.
I liked it.
It was a good one, do you?
Guys have any honorablementions?
Oh, you know, I already threwmine in cause.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
I, I, you know one of them that I thought of when,
when we were talking aboutracing and someone who went from
, uh, football to racing, joeGibbs, joe Gibbs, the coach, and
the coach, I mean just a greatcoach, really, yeah, and talk
about making people better.
That's kind of what he, whathis mantra is.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Let's make people better.
You might be surprised at this.
You might actually hate thisone, because, anyways, lou Holtz
.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Oh no, I don't.
I mean.
The fact that he was at NotreDame is repulsive, but you know
he was a great coach.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Yeah, in spite of what he said about the Buckeyes.
A couple years ago.
Yeah, kind of got our motorgoing a little bit.
But Lou Holtz he was, you know,he stood the test of time.
Another comedy bit Abbott andCostello.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Oh, yeah, abbott and Costello.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Yeah To to.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
I think you know I didn't put any movies into this
one, since we did movies lastweek, obviously as a favorite,
but when you mentioned JonathanWinters, one of my all-time
favorite movies is it's a Mad,mad, mad, mad World.
Did you watch that?
Oh, we used to watch it everyyear at like Christmas time or
Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Never seen it.
Oh, at like Christmas time orThanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Never seen it.
It probably has, if you like,went into movies, like into
movie history.
It probably has more stars init, like the entire.
It's an epic.
It's like three and a halfhours long, I think.
Oh man, but it's every scenethat comes up.
Another big star at the time.
It was made in like the 50s,50s, early 60s, somewhere in
(34:59):
there.
And there's another starthere's, and jonathan winters
has a part in it actually apretty good, sizable parties.
There's part of a group ofpeople that are traveling around
california trying to find atreasure.
But it's just a comedic thing.
Of all the stuff that don knotsis, the three stooges make a
cameo like everybody's in ithilarious but the same kind of
thing where it's just like youthink of some of these things.
(35:20):
I'm like man, that was a greatmovie.
Now again, I probably wouldn'thave put it in my top of all
time, like top 10, but we usedto watch it so much we used to
want my dad loved it and the thereason that he did it's
hilarious.
I won't give away the wholemovie, but because I'm sure you
want to watch it now.
Yes, is uh, um, and I can'tremember the guy's name that did
it.
The old man at the beginningdrives his car off of this cliff
(35:42):
, okay, and it goes down and hecrashes and it makes all the
noise.
So they run down the hill andthey're staying there, and
Jonathan Winters is one of thegroup that's there, and so he's
there and the guy's telling himin his dying breath no, it's
buried under a big W, it's undera big W.
And then he puts his head backand they all think he's dead.
(36:05):
So they all just kind of standup like what do we do?
And he jumps up again, scaresthem all like they thought he
was dead, and he says somethingelse I don't even remember what
the other word is but thenfinally, he goes dead.
He goes limp, he goes dead.
He goes limp and there justhappens to be a bucket sitting
right there and his leg shootsout and he kicks the bucket and
the bucket rolls down the hilland my dad always told the story
that they saw it in the theaterand him and my uncle, who was
(36:27):
the pastor from Branson, werejust laying in the aisle
laughing so hard.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
We used to have to play that one back a lot.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
It's funny.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
It's a great movie.
It's a great hilarious movie,very wholesome, very wholesome
movie.
Might have to check it out.
Yeah, it's pretty funny.
It's pretty funny.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
If I have a spare three and a half hours, oh yeah,
Just you know, he's got thatlaying around.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
That's like pocket change For sure.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Royals the other night.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
First team in the MLB with 40 wins.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Oh, gotcha, is that a thing?
Yeah, tells you how little Iknow about baseball.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Yeah, I'm not a big baseball fan.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I'm not gigantic, but it's a big accomplishment for
them.
They're coming through andplaying some good ball they used
to be pretty bad.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Some summer plans.
We're looking at going downthrough Kansas City and going to
Table Rock.
We're going to be going to thatone too.
Coming back, the Royals areplaying the Pirates.
Might have to stop.
Pirates are what I call myfavorite team, just because
they're out of Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
But you know what's your connection with Pittsburgh,
having grown up in Stanton.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I don't know.
I just like the Steelers andthen the Pirates were pretty
good when I was growing up and Ilike the Pirates Willie
Stargell Are you a Penguins fan.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I am a Penguins fan too.
It's just Pirates.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
It's Pittsburgh.
That was their song we AreFamily.
It was it was.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Still one of the best throws ever.
Dave Parker gunning down.
I don't remember who wasrunning from the warning track.
Perfect throw from the warningtrack.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
All Running from the warning track.
Perfect throw From the warningtrack.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
All the way to home.
Oh yeah, Just.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
But you know, my favorite throw was Bo Jackson.
Yeah, Climbed up the wall.
Oh yeah, Caught it.
He walked the wall Through theguy that tagged out at third out
at home and it was a dart tohome.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Did you guys see that highlight of um?
It was college the guy fallingout of the stands.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
No, that's all that too.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
That might've been a low light, I'm not sure it was.
Um a girl.
She's pitching softball and she.
She pitched the ball and hercleat clicked um.
Kicked up some a clot of dirtthat got in front of the ball
before it was pitched.
Kicked up a clod of dirt thatgot in front of the ball before
it was pitched.
As the ball was passing through, it hit that clod of dirt and
caused the dirt to hit thecatcher in the eye and messed up
(02:14):
her catch.
Wow, isn't that crazyInteresting.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Just a weird sequence of events.
I saw one pitcher that hit herleg and the pitch went off.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Probably still the best pitch is Rainey Johnson
exploding the bird.
Oh, that was a good one, yeah,absolutely.
Well freaking hilarious.
I mean amazing, but not ifyou're not much.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I've never seen that happen before.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
So you know, we're talking about these great plays,
great things and gosh, let'stalk about top five
entertainment sources,entertainers, whatever, and
we'll kind of go through topfive.
We did movies last time, whynot entertainers?
(03:02):
I?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
think I'm going to break.
I think I'm going to breaktradition here.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I'm going to start with a quote.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Oh, that sounds good.
Go ahead, Are we?
Are you allowed to do that?
Let's hear, let's hear youquote.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
We can do anything.
It's our podcast.
I can go the door's right there, chuck.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I can go If we were in my garage.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I'd be like what If we were in your garage?
I'd be like what?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
No, that's true.
If we were in your garage, Iwouldn't even Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Let's hear it there is nothing noble in being
superior to your fellow man.
True nobility is being superiorto your former self.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
That's good, that's good Ernest Hemingway.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Hmm, as we're going to talk about, things that we
see are superior to others.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
When I look at that, it's getting better every day.
Okay, putting in that work,bettering yourself in whatever
you do.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Where did that come from?
Like you just.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Ernest Hemingway Taking a little nip, gotcha A
little nip and tuck and came upwith it.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
That's how we did it A little philosophizer.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
You bet Top five entertainers, tuk, and came up
with it.
That's how we did itphilosophize.
Yeah, absolutely.
You bet top five entertainersand luke.
You kind of came up with thiswhat, what did you mean?
What?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I what I think.
What I think is cool is likewhen we talked about the movies
before you know it tells yousome things.
But I think that it also, if wejust pick top, we kind of left
it wide open, like initially itwas like entertainers, but then,
like john said, it could besources of entertainment, it
could be anything.
But I think it just kind ofpaints a picture and lets people
understand that we come fromall different walks of life and
(04:33):
whatever, and sometimes ourfocuses could be on different
things, but we can still be likewow, you know, that's a pretty
good answer.
That's pretty cool.
I never thought of that or, youknow, whatever it is so um.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Are we going to?
How are we going to do this?
We're going to go one by one.
Yeah, we'll do it like we didbefore.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
But each time we go around you just name the genre
and whatever it is.
Did you?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
guys have a like a rubric that you ran your things
through, Like how did you figureout what was your top?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I kind of did the same thing.
I just I just kind of startednaming things and then put them
into genres and I took thenumber one, one out of each
genre got you.
Yeah, it was hard because, eventhough one of my genres is
labeled other because I don'treally know exactly, because
this thing could actually fitinto a few different ones, but
they were definitely going to beon my list somewhere you know
(05:21):
there's, there's a lot of topperformers.
I guess is what we're or topthings that, um, like stuff you
really enjoy, you know, stuffthat brings you happiness or
thought or focus or whatever,you know, yeah, so who wants to
start?
Won't you start?
Oh, okay, you know.
(05:43):
In that vein, I think I willstart with my other category.
Okay, okay, and it's not oneperson, it's three people, but
they're in a group together, thethree stooges all right okay, I
like that and one of thereasons that I picked them as
(06:04):
one of my favorites obviously,as a kid, um watched a lot,
watched a ton of them, and mymom wasn't always happy about
that because I always would tryto do some of the things that
they did, which probably weren'tthe great things to do.
But as I got older and reallydid read about them like I've
got a bunch of books on them andread about their history and
they're all jewish and comingthrough the times when they did
(06:26):
in the 30s and the 40s, with allthe things that were going on
with the war and everything else, they were really going into
mainstream more than anybodyreally thought that they would.
And if you watch a bunch oftheir shorts, they were talking
about topics that most Jewswouldn't touch and they made a
(06:47):
lot of parody jokes about theNazis and a lot of things they
were very, very much workingtoward through comedy obviously
through slapstick comedy, as wewould probably call it.
But they started on Broadwayand they were there.
They were performers for yearsand they were musicians and I
think that they did a great jobof performing.
(07:08):
You've got a picture of Moimpersonating Hitler, you know,
which was hilarious, but theydid it in a way that was still,
if you want to say, had someclass to it.
You know what I mean.
So I just always I looked atthem as cutting edge, like they
were doing things that no otherperformers at the time in that
realm were doing For the longesttime.
(07:30):
They were the largest Columbiacontract ever of how much money
they got.
Wow At the time.
For years and years into the70s, I think, almost into the
80s, I believe.
How many of them were actuallybrothers.
Moe, Curly and Shemp, and Larrywas a family friend, Larry was
a Feinstein yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah, feinstein so it was Larry, they were all.
Howard was their name.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
That was their last name, Curly's real name.
Do you know what it was?
Charles?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Jerome, jerome.
Yeah, but when they came to,larry had that curly hair and Mo
had the straight cut and Curlyhad this curly blocks of hair,
this curly all over the place.
Well, larry already had that,so they never called him Curly
before that.
But he left the set and wentand got his head shaved, came
(08:20):
back with tears in his eyes andsaid I'm in because they needed
one other haircut.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Right.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
So they called him Curly.
From that from then on, to lethim remember his hair Wow.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Yeah, interesting.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
That's my first one.
That's what I'm leading offwith.
I like that.
I like it.
That's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I'm a victim of circumstance, go ahead Every
Sunday.
Yep Used to watch those.
My turn, your turn, you know.
I went with people and there'sa lot of great people out there
and I stuck with theentertainment and sports world.
And I'm going to start off witha comedian, robin Williams.
(08:58):
Okay, he's one of my favorites,just uh, he was just fun to
watch and his mind works soincredibly interesting uh, with
what he would come up with.
And if you watch interviews ofhim, he just is, it's just fun.
(09:24):
I like Mork and Mindy and umhim and Jonathan fun.
I like mork and mindy and umhim and jonathan winners.
On mork and mindy, I don't knowif you ever remember that that
was just and jonathan winnerswas great too, but uh, robin
williams was, and and then hebranched off of comedy and did
some other things as an actorand I just thought he really
(09:48):
epitomizes somebody who is oneof the top in his profession.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
You mentioned Jonathan Winters.
You know where he's from.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Dayton Ohio.
Yeah, Wow.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Got his start at WING Radio and worked with my dad.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
My dad spun records at WINING way back in the day.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Wow, no, not scratching records, not
scratching records, he spun them.
But anyways, yeah, a littleCool Claim to fame Robin
Williams.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
All right, so my fifth one here.
You guys might be a little bitsurprised at, but it's also a
comedian, but it's probably oneof the most unlikely comedians
that you guys think I wouldappreciate.
Hit us, dave Chappelle.
Oh, dave Chappelle.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Hilarious.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yeah Well, a lot of people are probably going to be
surprised at that, seeing how,you know, I've been a pastor and
you know those types of things.
And when you look at DavidChappelle's type of humor, it's
pretty crass, you know, Just alittle, Cusses a lot.
But the thing that really drawsme in about him is the way he
treats his comedy as aconversation and he kind of
(11:00):
draws you in and hits on somepretty important subjects as
he's going through his bit.
But he is hilarious and if youcan get past some of the
crassness of his bit.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
You know he crosses controversial stuff too.
Yeah, he does, which is okay.
I don't mind it.
But what I do like is, itcracks me up when he does it is
that he'll come back the nextshow or whatever it is, and
he'll say you know, I saidsomething last show about this
and you think he's going toapologize for it.
No, he doubles down and he goesdown.
It cracks me up becauseeverybody's like, oh, he's going
(11:35):
to apologize.
No, he's not.
He might say maybe I shouldn'thave said that, but in its place
I'll say this.
You know, and it's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Oh, he cracks me up.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I like that one.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
It is good.
All right, you're up next.
All right, let's see, I'm goingto go with movie actor, okay,
all right, as you know, thiswould be very difficult for me,
(12:07):
all right.
So what I kind of started doingin my head was taking these
actors and actresses that Iliked a lot and listing movies,
and kind of the one that had themost movies was kind of the
winner.
And you know some of the moviesI'm sure I don't know from
every actor.
I mean, I know a lot of them,but Morgan Freeman, is way up
high on my list of actors andjust going through, like some of
them, obviously, in shawshank,which we had in our list last
week, um, but the whole hasfallen series, it was, uh,
(12:31):
olympia angel in london hasfallen.
Great, those, um, we had uh, hewas in dark knight, which he
was really good in that bucketlist.
Along came a spider undersuspicion maiden heist so good,
there's just so many good movies, but probably one of the
favorites that I have is a quotethat we use all the time, but
(12:52):
it's the number seven is themovie seven and brad pitt's in
it and, oh my, kevin spacey's init.
Such a dark movie.
It's about the seven deadlysins oh, my gosh, my gosh.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Oh, you know, I think I remember that's whenever we
say what's in the box that's himsaying that's not him, that's
Brad Pitt saying it.
Sure.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Oh great, so I put him right up there, and he's
probably one of my favoriteactors, for sure.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
He's great.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, and I think when I a super serious, you can
do a funny, you can do aextrovert or an introvert, you
can do anything.
And I think that his range isall over the place.
So that's what really struck meabout him.
So there's mine, nice Cool.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Did you ever watch Electric Company?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
The PBS show.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
So that was Morgan Freeman.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Oh, I didn't know that.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Oh yeah, I didn't know that I didn't know that,
but yeah, I didn't watch it verymuch.
Is that the pbs show?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
yeah, yeah yeah all right, my turn right.
I am going to go with afootball player okay, and not
necessarily a favorite team ofmine, but he, he, he grew on me
and became a a favorite of mine.
But he, he, he grew on me andbecame a a favorite of mine and
I think he, he is one of the oneof the best.
(14:12):
Tom Brady, okay, and I'll sayhe's one of the best because he
just made everybody around himbetter.
He would go through receiversand line and any played forever,
which which is, you know,longevity is a part of it too
but he would go throughdifferent people and just have,
(14:35):
you know, a great team, yearafter year after year.
And I am not a Patriots fan,but I became a Tom Brady fan,
especially after he left thePatriots.
But, uh yeah, he, just, he justmade people better and I I
think that's what made him oneof my top five.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I am not a Patriots fan at all and I'm kind of in
the same boat as you are.
I extremely disliked them whenBledsoe was there, and then,
when Tom Brady took over, Iliked them even less.
Yep, because he's a Michiganguy.
Well, yeah, but over the yearsthe dude was Blake Bloomer we
call that.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, kind of like your guys.
In the draft you had all thoseones toward the end.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah, that in the draft.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
You had all those ones toward the end.
Yeah, yeah, he was.
He was low, but you know what?
97 when they won the nationalchampionship.
He was second stringquarterback in michigan behind
greasy yeah, I know brian greasywho's that was a quarterback
factory for a while.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Yeah, it was but no, it, it's, uh, it's one of those
things that I'm he kind of.
I kind of warmed up to himafter a bit and I was actually
rooting for him when he was atTampa Bay to win his last one.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah, and I don't do that very often, but I did for
him.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Yeah, All right number four.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I'm also in the.
I'm not going by numbers.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Yeah, I'm not either, but go ahead, okay.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
You can do whatever you want.
But my next one would beMichael Jordan.
I went to the athletics worldas well, and the reason I chose
him, obviously he was prettyinfluential when I was growing
up and those shoes actually,whenever they first came out
back in the 80s, I kind ofthought they were ugly.
I didn't think they were thegreatest looking shoes I still
(16:15):
think they are.
But a lot of people like himnow, you know, and he's the one
who made them famous, obviously.
So he did a lot of people likehim now, you know, and he's the
one who made him famous,obviously.
So he did a lot of amazingthings.
He was an incredible competitorStill is, you know, just has to
compete in different ways.
But he made my top five list.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Owns a race car team now?
Yep, he sure does, yep.
So, oh, that reminds me ofanother one.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Spilling over into mine now.
Um, I have uh, I wouldn't sayathletes too.
I have.
I have a couple picks there,but I have one that I put these
three together again.
Okay, I know, I'm cheating alittle bit but you are.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
But I'm gonna tell you why, though.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
But I'm gonna tell you why.
And the reason three stooges.
I could see, because the onethat I'm looking at at with some
of these things is that it'snot the three amigos, is it?
No, Okay good.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
They weren't athletes .
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I would say that I like groups that work in the
same way, that they're abouthard work and commitment and
putting it together for yourteam, whatever you have to do.
Okay, so I have Michael Jordanin there.
I have Walter Payton in there,okay, and I have Barry Sanders
(17:29):
in there, oh yeah, okay.
So you've got these three guysthat just epitomize the work
ethic.
They're going to put the timein, they're going to do the work
, they're going to do what theyneed to for their team.
Now, out of those three, youkind of look at them and Barry
Sanders, it's like man, he wasthere, he was there, he was
there, but he played for theLions when it was one of the
worst teams around and theydidn't give him a whole lot to
back up until they started torealize what they had.
(17:52):
By then it was kind of a littletoo late.
Looked at those guys like theydidn't just want the spotlight.
I mean they got it whether theywanted it or not?
but that wasn't what they werethere for.
You know most of them.
You know, for the most part,michael Jordan.
You know, when he spoke andwhen I was in Chicago for those
glory years, he really the mostof the time talked about his
(18:16):
teammates.
You know he didn't talk aboutjust himself, he talks about his
teammates in the work.
Walter Payton was the same way,barry Sanders was the same way,
although he didn't have a lotof teammates to talk about, but
it wasn't about him, you know,it was more about what he was
doing with the team or what washappening.
But he was very soft-spoken andso when I look at athletes, like
for the best athletes for me tothink of, those are the kind of
(18:38):
players that I think of.
So, think of, those are thekind of players that I think of.
So it's not just that they'remy favorite athletes, it's the
fact that they stand for what myfavorite thing is about the
game, yeah, and it's not justfootball.
I mean, michael jordanobviously was in basketball, but
you know there's been a lot ofpeople always talked about him
playing football.
It's kind of like lebron, likewell, he he made a little ways
(18:58):
in baseball right.
Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
You know, especially Walter Payton and Barry Sanders.
They did it their own way too.
I mean, they really On theirown terms.
They did it and they left ontheir own terms.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yeah, I mean they really One of the things I think
, as we were talking about arubric, that we put these things
through as I'm sitting here andyou mentioned it, Luke is
reflect maybe a little bit ofwhat we value.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Sure.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
And, as I'm thinking, how does Dave Chappelle reflect
what I value?
It's authenticity.
Dave Chappelle is who he is.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
And he doesn't make any apologies for it?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
And so, as I was, trying to tie.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
He'll double down as a matter of fact, exactly right.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
So I am who I am, yeah, yeah, no, I like those.
Those three are super solidguys.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
That's good.
So it was a little bit of acheat, but that's what it was,
it's more about that you know welike that.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
You're up, John All right, I'll stick in the sports
world, although this person Ireally appreciate the
spokesmanship that he hadMuhammad Ali, just a great work
(20:17):
ethic, first of all, and aperson that stood up for what he
believed in.
Yeah, If you ever look at hisstory incredible story.
Definitely had a personalityand had a lot of personality.
Yeah, he kind of Believed inhimself and believed what he
(20:39):
believed too.
Talk about authenticity.
I think you get a lot ofauthenticity.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yeah, he kind of was waning as I was growing up.
I mean, I really don't rememberhim much from the 80s.
He was kind of over in the 70sfor the most part.
But you know, I've seen thereplays and some of the fights
and some of the speeches he'sgiven, those types of things.
But yeah that's a good choice,good one.
He's a GOAT, that's for sure.
(21:05):
All right, I'm going to veerfrom the athletics world and I'm
going into the literary world.
Nice, one of my top books ofall time, charlotte's Web.
No, oh, okay.
Where the Red Fern Grows oh,okay, yeah, I love that book.
It was, I remember, the firsttime I read.
I think I was 16 years old andI was up in my bedroom and I got
(21:31):
to the part which is the samepart I got to where when I read
it to my kids, but I startedcrying like crazy.
I mean, I was so sad.
I was so into this book becauseI don't even know who wrote it,
but the author did such a goodjob of creating a scene.
But I'm reading that same sceneto my kids when they're like I
don't know, eight, nine, 10years old, something like that.
(21:53):
And it's the scene where oldDan has died.
He got attacked by the lion tosave his buddy, his boy that
owned him, and so he has died.
He's buried up on the hill andlittle Ann she's just beside
herself Can't get away from thegrief that she's experiencing,
(22:18):
and so she goes up on the hillwhere old Dan is buried, lays
down and dies.
Sad book.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
But it's one of my all time favorites so awesome.
Lots of good memories readingthat to my kids.
They laugh at me to this daybecause of it.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
I am also going to step away from the athletic
venue.
I'm going to go to music.
Okay, I got one for music, andwhen I'm saying this one, I'm
going to call it vocal music,okay, and one of the things that
, well, john probably knows alittle bit about this, but the
(22:59):
one thing about music to me kindof goes along the same way with
what I was talking about withathletics.
Kind of like the three studentstogether, you know, working
together, doing something, theability for Morgan Freeman to do
all these different things, tohave multiple talents all over
the place.
So, once again, sorry, there'stwo bands that, uh, that I think
(23:28):
totally encompass this.
Okay, their music to me isgreat, I love the music, but I
love the harmony that they doI'm a big harmony guy.
Yeah, I love, and if you can putas many as many instruments
into a song as you possibly can,it's better for me like I like
brass in there, I like guitars,I like everything.
If they put an orchestra in theback, I'm good, you know, I
love it.
Crosby, stills, nash Young andSteely Dan.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Yeah, those are two of the same type of bands, so
when?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
you, um, when you listen to it.
I think one of the things forme with music is that music kind
of it's like what is that oldcommercial calgon, take me away,
right, the bath stuff?
This kind of takes me back, youknow, it takes me away and that
harmony puts me away.
(24:15):
You think you're crying whenyou're doing how, where the red
fern grows, yeah, I start going,it'll get me too.
Yeah, you know, because it'sjust one of those things that
it's just well.
What does harmony mean?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
right is everything working together, yeah, right.
So it's kind of the whole youknow.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
So that's what I got there yeah, I am going in the
same direction.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Yeah, I love those two choices Crosby Stills, nash
and Young.
I like them even better whenthey were Crosby Stills and Nash
, but when Neil Young came intothat group I think he added a
lot to it.
But you're right, the harmoniesand the way those tunes fit
(24:56):
together, it's good music.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
It's really good music it who's up?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
john john's up, all right.
Well, um, I'll go to justoverall entertainment okay and
longevity too.
Carol burnett I liked show.
I would not have expected that.
I liked her singing ability.
I mean she had a voice, shecould sing and her show was just
(25:28):
funny.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
And growing up in the late 70s, early 80s, you know,
on Saturday nights and we'dwatch it.
I love that they could laugh atthemselves oh yeah 100.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Just so much fun, they're watch the fun one to
watch, and I think those arerecorded live, weren't they were
?
Speaker 2 (25:52):
yes, yeah, they were in front of a, because that's
always one of the things that Ilove when you watch a movie and
then at the end in the trailerthey're playing the, or when the
credits they're playingbloopers, bloopers yeah and when
, a when an actor or somebodycan't stop laughing at what
they're gonna say yeah, becausethat's what they would do, like
they would try, you can seesometimes you know you get to
laughing and going saturday livesaturday live does that a lot
(26:14):
too where the guys are doing itand they're like they're trying
not to laugh, like to try tokeep their you know, but they
can't sometimes it's just toomuch but, they did that on that
show a lot, but they did it live, so it was always in there.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
You saw it was fun.
Tim conway, caribou net.
And what's the other guy's name?
Harvey corman yeah those threedid a bit that they just it was
hilarious.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Yeah, they were they were, tim conway could keep his
straight face.
The other two could not.
Yeah, they couldn't, but hecould yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Anyways, good stuff, All right.
Going back to the music,Michael Jackson.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
All right, all right, you got no qualms with me, yeah
.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
I mean he's not on my list, but you know, incredible
he had the Thriller album Again,I was in junior high, high
school, when Thriller album cameout and MTV had just kind of
started and those videos, a lotof those videos were on Beat it,
and then he just continued toput.
(27:14):
Of course he had all that stuffwhen he was with the Jackson 5
too, but then he just continuedto put project after project
after project together well into, uh, well into the nineties and
, um, I just think he sustaineda good work.
Yeah, yeah, he was weird.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Well, yeah, I mean, we probably all are on some
level.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Yeah, but uh, he was a good.
I mean John's not.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
But not John's probably are.
Yeah, I don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
He's a great entertainer.
He, he was a great entertainer.
He was.
Yeah, I don't disagree.
I tend to actually move towarda little bit of his early stuff
before the Thriller album cameout.
Like Thriller was good at thetime, it was huge, obviously,
but even the ones right beforethat I thought he was really
there.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Yeah, Like it was good.
What were the ones like?
Speaker 2 (27:56):
what was one before?
Like what was that one song PYT, Wasn't that before?
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Thriller.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
That was before Thriller.
I'm pretty sure there was acouple songs that were pretty
big before that, but that wasthe one that put him across the
world.
I mean, he was all over then,you know.
But I think are we on?
Am I the last one?
Last one, you're on your lastone.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Oh wow, Already.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
So as, like I said before, I had two music things,
so vocal music was one, my otherwas instrumentalist.
Okay, so, as I look at it,there was a few that you know.
I was looking at guitar players.
I was looking at some of theseother people that weren't
necessarily, you know, an entireband, but just somebody that
was in there.
And again, I look at range, ortheir ability to do multiple
(28:46):
things in the works they put in.
And you might be a littlesurprised at this one John Paul
Jones.
You know who that is.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
Is he an actor?
Speaker 2 (28:56):
No, he's in a band.
He's a musician, but he's in aband.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Oh no, I don't.
He's the bassist for LedZeppelin.
Okay, oh, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
And you know, he played the bass, obviously in
the band which is one of my,probably in my top five bands, I
would say, of all time.
But he also played lead guitar,he played the mandolin.
He played the upright bass andthe cello, Played the lap guitar
.
He was multi-talented acrossthe way, but the music that he
(29:24):
created and some of the bestsongs that they've recorded over
the years during their bigstint in the 70s, 60s and 70s
Just incredible stuff that heput out and just the range that
he had the ability to play thatmusic on many different
instruments to do it just wascrazy.
I loved it.
He played the organ too.
Really so played some keyboards.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
On Paul Jones.
Yeah, man, you know, I wouldn'tknow that name.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Well, again, and I think it's one of those deals
where Behind the scenes guys asan idea.
Some of the other guys that Ihad on there were like Joe
Satriani, who was a greatguitarist, Eddie Van Halen,
who's one of the best in theworld.
All these people that aremusicians on their instruments
they're not necessarily knownfor their vocal, for their
(30:13):
singing.
Joe Bonamassa, what's that, Joe?
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Bonamassa yeah, yeah, what's that?
Joe Bonamassa?
Speaker 2 (30:17):
yeah, and even Bonham , the guy who was the drums for
the Led Zeppelin.
Same way.
I mean he passed away too earlytoo.
Stevie Ray Vaughan a lot ofguys like that but yeah, I think
that again, I think it's allstuff, that I think it's
important that when we talkedabout this, because it's
(30:38):
important to not just say youknow obviously what your
favorite things are, but to hearwhat everybody else is like oh,
maybe I'll go read that book.
Yeah, you know, I'll let youknow if I cry, cry a little bit.
I cry a lot anyway, so Iprobably will, but I think I've
read that book and I know thebook, but I don't remember the
last time I read it.
I don't read a whole lot ofbooks.
Yeah, that's a great book.
(31:00):
The last book I read was IHeard you Paint Houses.
That's the last one I read.
No, no, no, we'll tell youabout that some other day.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
That's another episode.
I think you didn't tell usabout that.
I think we did once, but we'lltalk about that some other time.
Sounds good, all right.
Last one for me.
This is a person that just it'skind of the other category all
around.
Okay, she's an entertainer,she's an entrepreneur, she
(31:28):
started out as a newscasterOprah Winfrey oh wow, just done
a lot of different things andjust respect the things that
she's done and come a long wayto get to where she is Did she
(31:50):
get started in Chicago?
I don't know if she startedthere.
I think it was North Carolinawhere she started.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
I think, it was North or South Carolina where she
started, and then she went toChicago and then she was in
Chicago, but I'm pretty sure itwas down south.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Yeah, but she's just done a lot and been an actress,
been a writer, has a podcast,been a great interviewer over
time and had her show yeah, justuh.
And and a great entrepreneur,as a lot of has made a lot of
(32:30):
money because of some of thethings that she's done.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
So I.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
I I respect that too.
Gives cars out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So anyway, that was.
That's a good one, that was oneof mine.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Well, my last one is Denzel Washington.
He made the list, obviously,and you know, remember the
Titans, equalizer, just a ton ofgood movies that he's made.
And again I kind of think Imean, obviously I don't know him
, but I've read some stuff abouthim and I think, from a values
perspective, the things he saysat interviews and at graduation
(33:06):
ceremonies, uh, he reflects someof the values I think I have
and, um, so yeah, he's one ofthe.
It's a good one.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
One of the top he.
One of the top.
He was in my list.
I liked it.
It was a good one, do you?
Guys have any honorablementions?
Oh, you know, I already threwmine in cause.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
I, I, you know one of them that I thought of when,
when we were talking aboutracing and someone who went from
, uh, football to racing, joeGibbs, joe Gibbs, the coach, and
the coach, I mean just a greatcoach, really, yeah, and talk
about making people better.
That's kind of what he, whathis mantra is.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Let's make people better.
You might be surprised at this.
You might actually hate thisone, because, anyways, lou Holtz
.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Oh no, I don't.
I mean.
The fact that he was at NotreDame is repulsive, but you know
he was a great coach.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Yeah, in spite of what he said about the Buckeyes.
A couple years ago.
Yeah, kind of got our motorgoing a little bit.
But Lou Holtz he was, you know,he stood the test of time.
Another comedy bit Abbott andCostello.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Oh, yeah, abbott and Costello.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Yeah To to.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
I think you know I didn't put any movies into this
one, since we did movies lastweek, obviously as a favorite,
but when you mentioned JonathanWinters, one of my all-time
favorite movies is it's a Mad,mad, mad, mad World.
Did you watch that?
Oh, we used to watch it everyyear at like Christmas time or
Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3 (34:36):
Never seen it.
Oh, at like Christmas time orThanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Never seen it.
It probably has, if you like,went into movies, like into
movie history.
It probably has more stars init, like the entire.
It's an epic.
It's like three and a halfhours long, I think.
Oh man, but it's every scenethat comes up.
Another big star at the time.
It was made in like the 50s,50s, early 60s, somewhere in
(34:59):
there.
And there's another starthere's, and jonathan winters
has a part in it actually apretty good, sizable parties.
There's part of a group ofpeople that are traveling around
california trying to find atreasure.
But it's just a comedic thing.
Of all the stuff that don knotsis, the three stooges make a
cameo like everybody's in ithilarious but the same kind of
thing where it's just like youthink of some of these things.
(35:20):
I'm like man, that was a greatmovie.
Now again, I probably wouldn'thave put it in my top of all
time, like top 10, but we usedto watch it so much we used to
want my dad loved it and the thereason that he did it's
hilarious.
I won't give away the wholemovie, but because I'm sure you
want to watch it now.
Yes, is uh, um, and I can'tremember the guy's name that did
it.
The old man at the beginningdrives his car off of this cliff
(35:42):
, okay, and it goes down and hecrashes and it makes all the
noise.
So they run down the hill andthey're staying there, and
Jonathan Winters is one of thegroup that's there, and so he's
there and the guy's telling himin his dying breath no, it's
buried under a big W, it's undera big W.
And then he puts his head backand they all think he's dead.
(36:05):
So they all just kind of standup like what do we do?
And he jumps up again, scaresthem all like they thought he
was dead, and he says somethingelse I don't even remember what
the other word is but thenfinally, he goes dead.
He goes limp, he goes dead.
He goes limp and there justhappens to be a bucket sitting
right there and his leg shootsout and he kicks the bucket and
the bucket rolls down the hilland my dad always told the story
that they saw it in the theaterand him and my uncle, who was
(36:27):
the pastor from Branson, werejust laying in the aisle
laughing so hard.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
We used to have to play that one back a lot.
