Speaker 2 (00:15):
Tickets on sale today for the John Wayne classic The
Cowboys with our special guest early seventies, right seventy two,
with a special guest, actor Robert Carridine his first film.
Many people remember him from Revenge of the Nerds. Lewis
great actor, funny guy, and he was in The Cowboys
his first movie. What do you think about I mentioned earlier.
(00:36):
Of course, it's all partly a matter of opinion. I
think John Wayne is the greatest movie star of all time.
I didn't say greatest actor in the most famous, greatest
movie star of all time. Probably the most recognized face
I have an actor from that ear worldwide to this day.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
For the longest time, he was the box office champion,
not in terms of dollars, but a number of tickets
sold yep. And then I think he was at clips
in more recent years. But man, talk about this film
for those who haven't seen.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
It, well, in a nutshell, it's about a cattle drive.
It's done by real boys, cow boys, not grown men.
His grown men cowboys took half and take off and
leave them abandoned. So he needs to go with the
schools and find kids to do his cattle drive. And
Bruce Dern has the rule and it plays a really
nasty guy. But I won't give it away.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
At the ending because he's good at playing nasty guys.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
He plays a sob really good.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah he does. So. This will be on October twenty fourth, October.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Twenty four, seven o'clock at the Almo Community Playhouse. We
turned the stage into a movie theater, a nice big
movie theater. This will sound the whole nine yards. Digital
projections would be pristine.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Now.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
We're also going to have Brian Downs from the John
Wayne Museum in winter set.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Great.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
He's having display in the lobby the coat that called
a duster that John Wayne wore in the film, right
on display.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
He was something man, he was.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
It's a big, tall duster. It's like six foot three.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah, he's a big guy, big man.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Oh yeah about sex firemen, I think.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
The quintessential post World War two American right there. I
mean that was we came back conquered Nazism and fascism
on two different continents, and he was the man. Okay,
he was the classic image of the great American tough guy.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Stopping thinking. You mentioned the John Wayne museum, stop and
think about his best friend, going back to their football
days at USC was Ward Bond, who was also in
a lot of his movies. Yes, from Benkleman Nebraska. And
here's here's Marion Morrison from winterset Ida. You know, just awesome.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
How did he get the name John Wayne from Maryon Morrison?
I want to to him, you know, probably was it
maybe Mayor was it Louis Mayor or john Ford? Or
john Ford was his mentor? Yeah, said, look you needed
Maryon Morrison. Ain't gonna work. We got to come up
something else. Michael, I want to make something of it,
sort of like sort of like, no, Francis Gumm is
(02:54):
not the name. How about Judy Garland.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeah, that'll fit true, and so Johnny Rodgers will probably
be there this uh, this is a benefit of the
jet Award.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Foundation Michael Severe working with me, I'm going to recreate
the pun return right there on stage.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Exactly John Wayne's style. Yeah, yeah, we'll have mister Cardyan
beyond the lobby during and after the film to autographing
and meeting and greeting people are fans of his classic
Revenge the Nerds will have things to sign, autograph, He'll
do that for the fans.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Well, we're thrilled to be the radio partner with you, Bruce,
Thank you for many years. Help's we get the word out.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Well, he'd be doing his imitation of the laughing Reverends
of the Nerds asking, I'm sure you will shoot that
in video. Make that your ring tone.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Absolutely, He's a wonderful guy that comes from a legendary family.
Like we said off Mike Keith Carridine David Carrodine is
of course his legendary father, John Cardy was in like
thousands of movies. It seems like a bunch of the
Cardians Man Christ All three brothers also made a film
about Jesse James called The Long Writer.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah good one, and that's based on a real uh Northfield,
Minnesota bank hold up exactly with weren't they each Stacy
Keach and that the carry dem Brothers. It was about
the James brothers and the um and the other gang,
the Colders, I think so anyway, that was a different movie.
(04:13):
This one. Thirty bucks for a ticket the jet Award
dot Com.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Call four two, three, five, eight thousand. But tickets are
already starting to fly.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I can imagine will this sell out? What's the capacity
over there? Six h Yeah, probably sell out.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
You know, I don't get this chance very off. And
I'd like to thank some of my longtime sponsors Jerry
and Patty Griss we're just talking about and Louis Rotella
and Ted Genevasco. Some great people have helped me over
the years. And Janelle Cleveland and rich and Heidi Anzel
and these people have been for a long time. Make
these things happen. For fifty three events.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Now, fifty three events thirty three years now. I'm sure
you're you're always planning one thing. Bruce does his looks
over the rainbow because it is not easy to get
these people. You got to really work at it for
a long time to get these big superstars, big names.
But there's got to be a Redford thing coming. I mean,
this guy is one of the truly truly iconic performers
of two generations at least, and all of the movies
(05:10):
that he made that were super hits, right, So I
can't I can't imagine that there's not a Robert Redford
plan in that head of years.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Well, I thought about you know, we talked earlier about
Butch Cassidy with Catherine Ross. That'd be great. God do
that for a long time, you know, with his passing
makes even more timely.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I don't know if you were listening, Bruce, when when
Robert died. It happened to be during the morning show.
We got the word and so we asked favorite Robert
Redford movies. I think it was unofficial tally, but it
seemed to me like Jeremiah Johnson got the most votes
from our listeners. What would be yours?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
That's when I put that up really high too. Yeah,
that's a great movie, a.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Lot of performance, unlike a Redford, unlike the other Redford movies,
completely unlike it is.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, it's very old fashioned.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
We were talking earlier, what was his That might have
been the most pop or movie he ever made, But
what was his best performance acting performance? In your view?
A few days of the Condor, he has said that
Redford said that might have been my best one.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I might have to look that one up.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
It's a good, very timely movie today too.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah, thank you, Bruce. Too bad John Wayne couldn't be
here for it. I wish you know what. He's the
kind of guy from everything I've read about it, you
would do it if he were around, he would do it. Yeah,
because he grew up not far from here. And it
was a very good person from everything I've read about it.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Very generous man.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Yeah, close to the president. I and Reagan were tight left.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
He's hated him. That's another mark in his favorite Bruce,

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
