Speaker 1 (00:00):
Scott Voies watching sports and things on Netflix were a
couple of big things over the weekend, and as it
turns out, these are the bigger stories in the country
today and not exactly involving Trump, though Trump has made
some comments on this Netflix Warner Brothers deal. We'll get
into that. I'm waiting for President Trump to get involved
(00:23):
in the college football playoff thing too. All right, let's
start there, because Jim Rose's time is very, very valuable,
and I don't want to waste any more than I
already am. But it was weird to me that Iowa
State and Kansas State said we don't want to go
to these bowl games when Notre Dame did it. It's
(00:46):
it just felt petulant. Now, a little set up here.
Notre Dame finished their season with two losses, same as
Miami and Alabama had three losses, and it was only
two spots for these three teams as who were going
to get in the college football playoff. So the Irish,
they're not really associated with the conference. They didn't play
(01:08):
a conference tournament. They sat back there let all the
other teams beat each other up. They had two losses
to start the season. They lost their first two games
to ranked opponents, one of them was Miami, the other
one Texas A and M, and then only played mostly
cupcakes the rest of the way, a couple of ranked teams,
lightly ranked USC and pitt. Miami wasn't much better, but
(01:30):
they beat Notre Dame and Alabama's Alabama and they're always
going to get in no matter what happens, because this
really really upsets a lot of college football fans. It's
about ESPN and the SEC. That's why they got in. Well,
Alabama's looked to me to be the better team this year,
but three losses, they're in Notre Dames out and Notre
(01:53):
Dame's like, we're not doing anything. Then we're not going
to a bowl game. We might never play college football again.
Eat it. So is Notre Dame being a spoiled bratt
on this or did they have some reason to push this?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I think they had reason to push this, given that
their two losses were early in the year to two
ranked teams, both of which are in the playoffs now
A and M in Miami. But clearly the committee put
a great emphasis on the conference championship game. Getting there,
even just getting there's good enough. See Alabama I would
not have put Alabama in ahead of Notre Dame. Three
(02:27):
losses versus two losses, and the two losses came to
top ten teams.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
So you would have gone for these three teams two spots.
You go Notre Dame Miami. Alabama's out. Correct. Why doesn't
Alabama get in? They beat had three losses, but one
of them was against Georgia, one of the better teams
in the country, a team that they beat earlier, earlier
in the year, So that's kind of a wash. So
now they're a two loss team. Now they lost to
(02:52):
Florida State, and Florida State looked great till they lost
seven of their last nine games. That's what would have gotten.
That's a tough one.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
If I'm on the committee, I'm saying, look at it, Alabama.
They got blown out by Florida State to start the year.
They were ready to drive Caitlin to Bore out of town.
And they put together a nice season with losses again
to Oklahoma on the road and then no, no, no,
the Olahoma game was in Tuscaloosa, big your pardon, and
then they had George in the title game. So clearly
what the committee believed is that the Southeastern Conference is
(03:20):
so much better than everybody else that they deserve slack
over a Notre Dame team which did not play a
great schedule after those first couple good schedule, not a
great schedule, but I would not have put a three
loss team ahead of a two loss team whose two
losses came in the first two weeks. To teams that
are in the playoffs. Now Alabama can say the same thing,
(03:40):
except for Florida State. The issue to me, Scott involves
conference championship games and the metric, because we're tweaking the
metric every year. You know, first you have to have
won this to qualify. If you didn't win that, you
don't qualify, well, then you're not going to have enough
spots because the only two teams make the conference championship game.
To me, the conference championship game should be wiped off
(04:01):
the face of the earth. But they make too much
money for the conferences, so they're not going to do that.
Even though half the stadium for the ACC tattle game
to be in Virginia and Duke and again Duke got
in and Virginia got in over tie breaking rules in
the ACC which kept Miami out of the conference championship game,
which could have legitimately made them absolutely a lock for
(04:22):
the playoff or not.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Now the loss. As far as this, I was on
a tech string with some friends last night and they're like,
college football is completely destroyed and it may never get back,
and they've ruined college football and they're ruining high school
football too. And I'm of course pushing back into my
text messages because I'm having fun with it, and I said, yeah,
but I watched a great football game Saturday night. Indiana,
(04:46):
Ohio State was a great football game. My team, the
Nebraska Cornhuskers, is not even going to have a whisper
of a chance to get into college football playoff anytime soon. Unfortunately,
remind me to ask you those two teams family, But
those two teams, yeah, are a great game. So I said,
all right, we had a great game on Saturday night
(05:08):
in a Big Ten conference championship that might be better
than the national championship game. It might be we might
be repeating. I don't know who sets up wearing the bracket,
but it looks like we have great teams here in
the playoff. We get a playoff. And the difference to me, though,
is the bowl games now don't mean anything if you're
not in the playoff, right, So that brings us to
(05:30):
k State and Ice State. Why didn't the wildcats of
the Cyclones decide, hey, let's go treat the team they
earned this bid. Be fun for the fans to go
someplace warmer, we presume, and having a little time over
the holidays. That's my feeling.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Look, I've always believed ball games were rewards for a
good season. Now they are rewards for a five and
seven season because there are five and seven teams getting in.
Because these six win teams are walking out, including Notre Dame.
It's for the kids. They get a trip to ideally
a warmer player. They they do a lot of really
fun activities for them when they're at this bowl game.
(06:05):
They get a big fat per dim that they can keep,
you know, because they feed them. But then they get
money for food, but they can keep the money. They
get some really cool swag. It's not a bad gig
for a kid who's been beating his head in at
practice every single day since August. Yeah, and they get
to go. In this case, the Iowa State and Case
State people are saying, well, we don't know about the
(06:26):
coaching staff. We don't have coaches, and we don't have
enough players. Guys are injured, some guys want to enter
the portal, they won't play, they'll opt out of playing,
So why bother? Okay, well, then the bulls are rendered
virtually meaningless. Now why even have them? Most of them
lose money. Nobody goes to them. There's no one there.
But very few seats are filled at some of these
(06:47):
bowl games.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
But if I'm sitting there on like the Tuesday of
Christmas week and like I'm gonna go get some lunch
someplace and it's you know, BYU and Presnoe, Fresno State
or something like that, like, Okay, there's a bowl game
on and nobody cares. I'll watch it for a little bit.
I don't know that I'm personally invested in it.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Well, the other challenge is the best players aren't playing
in bowl games. Now we saw that with Boston College.
Of the best coaches aren't coached. A lot of coaches aren't.
You know, last year in Nebraska be Boston College, a
mediocre program by five points. Their top six players weren't
playing in that game. I mean they said, no, we're
not doing this because we're going to the NFL, including
their All American defensive end. So to me, it's it's
kind of a sham anymore, where Bulls used to really
(07:28):
be powerfully important games for the season and for the program.
In some cases, Tom Osborne's ninth win came in a
Bowl game.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Look, there's a lot of things that I miss about
the past. Yeah, mostly the fact that as I look
back at the past, I was younger. Yeah, I had
my life was better and a certain zeal for life
that I clearly don't have now. But I loved New
Year's Day where it would start early in the morning
and by night's in you had a national championship, or
(07:55):
in the case of ninety seven two yeah, one and
a half. But again it's not nothing's the same, So
we have to deal with the reality we have. I'm
just going to enjoy the playoff games when we have him.
We got the Huskers playing on New Year's Eve Day
in the middle of the aftercon against Utah on ESPN,
(08:18):
So that'll be fun. Why not let's do it. The
question though, last question here for you, Jim Rose, and
thanks for doing overtime with me. You're gonna get a
whole lot of me starting next week, multiple hours a day.
But I just wanted to make sure you're okay with that.
Dylan Royola is a fantastic quarterback. Nebraska is poised to
(08:39):
do well in the future with him as quarterback. One
of the big problems this year, whether it was a
combination of him holding onto the ball too long or
feeling like he couldn't do what he needed to do
because the offensive line couldn't protect him. If the coach
goes to Royola and said, you're the future of this team,
we want to make sure you're protected, want to make
(09:00):
sure that we've got a running game intact that can
let you open up and do what you do. So
we're firing the offensive line coach. I would think any
quarterback would love to hear that, except when the offensive
line coach is his uncle. What do you make of
Donovan Royo? Donovan uncle Donnie? Yeah out and well everyone says, hey,
(09:22):
Royola is gonna bolt too. I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Well, we're gonna find out here in about three or
four weeks. Donovan Royola was only recruited to Nebraska to
be offensive line coach by Scott Frost to get to
Dylan because he really had no credentials to be the
offensive line coach at Nebraska, and he was retained, you know,
by Matt Ruhle for that. Normally, after a season like
we had with Frost last season, the whole place is
(09:46):
swept clean. Somehow this guy stays, he's got the right
last name. In the case of Dylan, your points are
very well taken, Scott, and that is what's he looking
for because the receivers largely are still here. Uh, the
running back room will be different because you're taking the
best back in fifteen years and ten or fifteen years
and he's gone. Is emm a senior or is no,
he's just going to he's declared for the NFL. He's
(10:07):
already declared for the off and the offensive line will
have new people. But we had new people this year.
We spent a million and a half on lineman this year,
and we still gave up record number of sacks.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I A lot of those linemen were hurt, but in
some cases, you know, Elijah Pritcher wasn't hurt. But the
bottom line is this, what style of offense are we
going to have now? With an offensive line coach whose
credentials are about running the ball, committing to a running game,
maybe even a two back set. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
And if that's the case, Dylan's not going to get
as many tosses. And that's the credential for the NFL.
Now that said, he also has a guaranteed contract for
nil money with eighteen ninety, the eighteen ninety collective, which
means that he's obligated to stay to get that money. Now,
maybe they could come to some sort of a settlement,
(10:58):
maybe he can get it somewhere else. He could probably
get it some I don't know. He's gonna get the
money somewhere else that he's getting here. The other question
is he ready to compete for the job, because if
Jay Latif has a big Bowl game against a good team,
now they're not as good defensively as Utah as offensively offensively,
they're a juggernaut. If he has a big game, then
you got a genuine quarterback competition here. It seems to
(11:21):
me or TJ's going to say, you know, this gig
is his, They're going to keep it his regardless of me.
I'll go somewhere else, which pre creates lots of animosity
among Huskar fans. We want guys to compete for jobs.
We've been giving out a lot of jobs in this
program for the last ten years. Recruits get set, you start,
(11:41):
well know, you don't worry about competition. You start, and
we got to stop doing that. But maybe maybe this
new philosophy or the new line coach with new lineman
that he's bringing in will be good for Dylan overall.
I liked the maturation of for between. He did something
year or two from IOLA, and I would hope that
(12:03):
year three would be even better. I think coach Rule,
first of all, needed to do what he did with
the defensive coordinator. We need to stop calling it the
coordinator a defense and call it the coordinator of war
like the Trump administration has done. You know this whole
thing about I got mad at Sean Callahan one of
these days that you were gone and I.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Was in here mad and you. I got mad at
him because he started touting again like, oh, Nebraska's got
this great pass defense, Like because nobody's throwing it on
throwing it, they can run up and down the field
against us. If you guys are out of the out
of the in the wrong spots and the play. We
can't tackle. It's ridiculous. So yeah, I got a little
a little test he with Sean, So we did the
right thing with defensive coordinator. Coach Rule either let the
(12:44):
offensive line coach go because he told Riyola, look, we
want you to set up for your best level of success.
Your uncle's not cutting it. Our value in the future
is with you, not your uncle. Let's make sure that
you're set up and maybe the nephew is okay with it.
Or Rule thought Rayola is leaving anyway, Why keep his
uncle around if he's not pulling his weight and he
(13:06):
sets up for the future. Either way, I think Coach
Rule made the right move here and day and Dayton,
Dylan's little brother d committed three weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah, well, I mean that there may be something all
mixed in here. Look, Rayola went to three high schools
in three years in three states. If he ends up
moving on, I hope he and Nebraska and our fans
can all find what they're looking for. It's the holidays,
I can have it.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
We just want to get into the playoffs. I'm gonna
have a great attitude about all of that.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
We just want to be in the playoffs. Is it
asking too much to be in the playoffs? Apparently so
eight there might be twelve teams in the playoffs soon.
No room for Nebraska and there they went, Alabama in
there we can get in, Jim, thank you very much.
And in a personal note, I look forward to spending
more time having conversations.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Yeah, we'll be doing this all the time for three
and a half hours. Are you really going to be
okay with Gary leaving? I'm coming to grips with it.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
It was a great not shocked in my system because
I thought he would retire two years ago. But uh,
you know, I don't have nearly as much aversion to
change as he does.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I'm not asking about him, I'm asking about you. You're
gonna be okay. You can live with change, you know.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Now, If it sucks, you know, then I'll just walk
in one day and say this sucks and I'm.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Out of here. Okay, Well they won't do that. Feels
like a lot of pressure on me, so that your
life you'll be doesn't suck. You'll be fine, all right,
Thanks Jim Rose. Right there, Kfab's morning news. All right,
Well that's that's football. Next. Netflix is up next two
minutes Scott Fores News Radio eleven ten k f A. Lucy,
(14:41):
I didn't want to leave you out of that conversation.
What do you think about Notre Dame not making the
playoff and say, well, we're not going to play in
a bowl game? Then me, I know, I know you've
got a lot of thoughts on it.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Well, Notre Dame has always been kind of prissy. They've
always been.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
You know, remember when a lot of people feel like,
if you criticize the Notre Dame football team, you're criticizing
Catholics and Catholicism. See, you might as well just go
up and slap the Pope's mama if you say anything
about the fighting Irish.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
See what I mean? If you criticize the corn Huskers
as you're not talking to me.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Just because you're talking to me, you're talking to me
Husker fans. It's kind of you ever see brothers where
you got like three or four brothers in a family
and they just destroy each other they either physically or verbally,
They tear each other down, they fight with each other
and all that. And the only thing that someone's not
(15:38):
allowed to do is say or do anything to someone's
brother that they would do to them. So it's like, hey,
we're gonna make this kid's life miserable, our younger brother,
but if someone else picks on him, you got to
deal with all of us. So it's kind of the
same thing with Nebraska football. We all run down the program.
This programs thinks no. But if if an Iowa fan says,
it's like, hey, pal, you can't say that.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
You just asked me if I thought what I thought
of Notre Dame not saying or saying that they're not
going to play in a bowl game, whatever.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Saying that. Fans take it personally when you criticize that program.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Asked me, Fine, fans if they want to take it personally, Okay,
I'm speaking to each and every one of you personally.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I only asked you because I wanted to hear what
you had to say about a subject that I know
you don't give a rip about.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I'll ask you this then. Okay, what happened to Alabama?
Were they even there? Did they even show up?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
What do you mean? On their their game against Georgia?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Correct? What they happened?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
They beat Georgia earlier in the year. They got beat
by Georgia here in the SEC title game. Sadly, that's yeah,
I consider that a wash. So now now that makes
them a two loss team. Okay, So then you have
the in Miami and Notre Dame fighting for three teams
two spots. I think I've though leaned towards what Jim said.
(17:02):
He's like, I'd give Notre Dame in Miami that nod
other than Alabama. But Alabama at least went in on
the last weekend of the college football year and played
a game. Well, Notre Dame was sitting home with the
rosary beads.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
And I am offending people, And why why would he
kick out Alabama? I know he doesn't have the power,
but why would he suggest.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
That because they had three losses and the other teams
only had two. But Alabama played a tougher schedule and
more games.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Doesn't everybody? Doesn't everybody play a tougher schedule than.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yeah, there are two losses are against two teams that
are in the playoff, Miami and Texas A and M.
But they didn't play not exactly. They didn't play cupcake
schedule the rest of the way, but it wasn't real,
real strong and they didn't play in a conference because
the Notre Dame's like, we're gonna do what we want.
(18:03):
You guys should join a conference. Nah, we're Notre Dame. Okay,
have fun playing in the souper Bowl or what.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
I'm wrong with my earlier comment.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
No, you're right. Okay, I don't know what you said,
but you're right.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
They're being kind of prissy.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Question for you, what would compel you to go see
a movie in a movie theater? Now?
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Not much. I would love to go back to the theater.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I just have when's the last time you saw a
movie in the movie theater.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
It's been a while. Sometimes people can be unruly in
the audience.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
What movies are.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
In my house? Though at my house, nobody's unruly.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
When you go see Rocky Horror, though, that's part of
the stick. That's okay, Like, what are these people doing.
I'm trying to watch this movie I've never seen. Isn't
that wouldn't that be awful? If you go see the
Rocky Horror Picture Show and everyone's all gooping around and
singing and your throwing popcorn and over the place, and
you're like, guys, please some decorum. I'm trying to see
this film.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
That would never happen.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I can't hear what the sweet transvestite is saying. Is
that meat loaf? So generally, you if you go see
a movie at the movie theater, you don't have to
worry about what the rest of the audience is doing,
because sometimes you're the only one there.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I like that to change two.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah, well, now that gets into the crux of this.
Notre Dame. Notre Dame, you've moved on, Netflix.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
No, bring them back into this one.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Notre Dame announced that they were going to build buy
Warner Brothers and make them only put out sequels to
the film Rudy. Okay, get ready for Rudy two Rudier.
This is even rudier and tutier than Rudy one. Rudy
two Electric Boogaloo. This is where Rudy gets a chance
(19:58):
to play for the fight and I and he has
to do a breakdance competition to save the community Center.
I would watch that movie in a heartbeat. Netflix. Sorry,
Netflix is buying Warner Brothers. Maybe. And here's the reaction
everyone has to it like Netflix is gonna ruin everything
(20:19):
because they're not gonna let any movies go to the
movie theater anymore. Well, is that Netflix doing that or
is that the American population. We'll discuss after a Fox
News update next, Scott, I've just spent the last few
minutes coming up with the various titles and plots of
new Rudy movies after as I said, a moment ago,
(20:40):
Notre Dame buys Warner Brothers and forces them only to
make sequels to the movie Rudy, which maybe you don't know,
is about a kid who walks on and gets a
chance to be on the Notre Dame football team, making
his dreams come true. So you had Rudy. That was
that plot with Friend of the Program Shawn Aston. And
(21:04):
when I say friend of the program, he was on
this show one time, told me even in some off
air give and take, he would love to be on anytime,
and we even devised a plan where he would actually
fill in and host this show for me sometime. He
was all gung ho to do it.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
And then is that what gorow?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
And then when further conversations, well, since this was all
like seventeen years ago, and any attempt to reach out
to him and go hey Shawn, you want no response.
He's busy. I know he's busy. I'm sure he's just
about to get back to me. Ohp, but I just
got a text message. It's it's from my dad. Okay,
so not Sean Aston, but I'm sure that we'll reconnect
(21:47):
at some point. Anyway. We had Rudy, Rudy two Electric Boogloo,
Rudy three in three D, Rudy four Citizens on Patrol.
This is where Rudy and campus security. That Rudy in
three D is essentially Rudy, except like he's he's going
(22:11):
in there to sack the quarterback or hit the tackle
the running back, and it looks like you're being sacked.
Isn't that cool? Also, Lucy Vince Vonnell be in that one,
so you'll be excited.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I'll watch that. You forgot one though, unless you're not done.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Let's see here Rudy five The Quickening. I'm not sure
what the plot is of that one, but there was
some movie that it was called So and So three
The Quickening or something like that. And then finally Rudy
five The Revenge. This that's more like five nights at
Freddy Frady's. Rudy six, Rudy six.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
The musical wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I'm gonna show my family, I'm playing on the team,
ain't on the team.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
And then of course Fast Times at Rudy High.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
And I'll go play for the Uh well, no, that
that's only a one. That that was the title of
the movie. It wasn't the subtitle.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
So they're not remaking all kinds of movies about with Rudy.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
And they could. I just I just need good titles
for me.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
So I'm singing with the musical.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
It's it's Netflix that says we're buying Warner Brothers. Now.
Since then, Paramount this morning is like, we're we're I
don't know what they call this in business circles, like
a ejecting. There's you know what, let me see.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
They're filing a complaint with the FTC.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
No, there's a specific name. They're going right after the
shareholders and they're like, all right, if all of youlders
sell your shares to us at.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Paramount, Oh, hostile takeover, Craig, Yes, I can't take credit,
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Thank you, Craig. Paramount is attempting a hostile takeover of
Warner Brothers. And the reason for all of this, and
Netflix said, all right, we're buying Warner Brothers and immediately
Hollywood was like, this is heartbreaking, tragic. Jane Fonda lost
her mind. Was Alma's left of it? She said? She
(24:16):
wrote a letter. She wrote a strongly worded letter. You go, Jane,
She well, she went to Netflix and sat on an
anti Netflix piece of military equipment, did she Yeah, she
put on the helmet and she was out in the
parking lot of Netflix, going, ah, this feels right. And
she was sitting there at the turret of an anti
(24:40):
Netflix gun. So she wrote a strongly worded letter saying
that the end of a standalone Warner Brothers is quote,
an alarming escalation in a consolidation crisis that threatens the
entire entertainment industry, the public it serves, and potentially the
First Amendment itself. By the way, is the plot of
(25:01):
Rudy eight, tackling the First Amendment. The Writers Guild of
America says this merger must be blocked. The chief executive
of a group like the Teamsters hate it. The chief
executive a group that represents movie theaters says, this is
the worst and therein lies the crux of this whole thing.
(25:25):
It is thought, and I don't know why they would
think this all the chief executive of Netflix has ever
said is why would you release movies to the movie theater.
It's much more expensive to go. The American viewing public
would rather stay home. They can make their own popcorn,
they can watch on their own big screens. They've got
(25:47):
home theaters. They don't have to go to the theater.
They don't devil, they don't have to buy a movie ticket,
which is increasingly more expensive. They don't have to spend
eight dollars for popcorn, and they can sit in a
more comable chair at home in their underwear if they want.
The American movie viewing public would rather view movies in
(26:07):
the comfort of their own homes. That is Ted Sarandos,
the co chief executive at Netflix. Now, what did he
say when he was taking over Warner Brothers. He said,
We'll continue to release movies in theaters for exclusive runs
in theaters. Quote, it's not like we have this opposition
(26:28):
to movies in theaters. Right now, you should count on
everything that is planned on going to the theater through
Warner Brothers to continue to go to theaters. People are
like he said, right now, Yeah, now, is that something
that Netflix is going to make a decision on or
is that something in response to what he's saying, and
that is people aren't going to the movies at the
(26:51):
movie theater like they used to, not even close. Some
of this is they're like, what movie is out right
now that anyone wants to see.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Well, I mean, you make a good point with that
that Hollywood's not giving us a lot of great stuff
to make us get out and go see it. So,
I mean that's a good point. But this guy's doesn't
sound like his mom and dad hugged him enough not
to let people go to the movies. Yeah, he's not
not letting us. Well, but there's nothing to see.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Warner Brothers is not the only movie studio releasing movies
to theaters. There are several others. Now, Warner Brothers is
a big one, but they're not the only one. It's
not like, if they take away this little bit, sorry,
you don't have any other movies to watch other than
those art house flicks that go to film streams. So
(27:45):
he's I think, just responding to what the American people
are saying that they want and other people clinging to.
But I want the movie and look, I want the
movie theaters to be packed and fun and exciting too.
That was my other than it's my favorite job I've
ever had in my life was working at movie theaters
here in Omaha when I was in high school. I
(28:07):
love the movie theater. I think it's a great job
for kids. I think it's fun. But back in the
old timey times in the nineties, when I worked at
the movie theater, I take it was three dollars and
fifty cents. Five dollars after five PM. The large butter
popcorn was three dollars and fifty cents. You could get
a small drink for a dollar and pack up.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Those are prices of the time too.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah, but that's yeah, I know, it's all. It's all.
Everything's more expensive. I get it. But when you're talking
about taking the family of four out to go see
the New Superman movie, which was the last movie I
saw in the theaters, and it was it was alright,
it was so so. But when you're talking about taking
the family of four out to a theater, and I'm
(28:52):
not talking like on a half priced Tuesdays or if
you go see an even non matine evening thing your
family of four, this is a just for tickets. It's
almost fifty dollars to go see one movie, or you
can spend whatever for people. Yeah, okay, whatever, And then
that's not including concessions.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Okay, that's what I was confused by.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, that's not including concessions. And then you if you
take if you buy concessions, now you're up words of
eighty dollars. Take a family of four to go see
Zutopia two, which I'm sure is fun. I like the
first Zoutopia, but my kids, my kids are not Zootopia
(29:35):
aged anymore, so I don't take them to the theaters.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
But do you think if the ticket prices were lower,
I mean significantly lower? What are they about? Sixteen dollars now?
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Eleven to fourteen dollars most.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Okay, so let's say they went to six dollars. Yeah,
do you think that that would drive people into the theaters.
And because if they spend money at concessions, the theaters
are still gonna do.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Okay, right, Well, the theaters have also decided we're going
to go from like look at at Omaha. When we
were growing up, you had two multiplexes, right, you had
the Cinema Center and the Q Cinema nine No.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Six West at the West Roads that had about six.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
That's right, I see, I didn't work for that theater chain, so.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
I aside the Box, which I always forget about.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Uh, the West Roads, but like Indian Hills was only
what four giant big screen and then a couple others.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
I think it was just the one, but it does
feel like they added.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
They had a few more. But then the other movie
theaters were like the Park four, the Millard four, the
Gemini two, the Maple would twin you had, uh, I
mean the Park four where that was my that's that
was my home base, love Park Park four, Ralston. It
(30:58):
was not a big, grandiose place. There's there's a house
number one, two, three, four, They're all here right in
front of you. It was not a giant place. You
didn't need a ton of staff, and it wasn't like, hey,
we've got to pay a big light bill and all
the rest of this stuff. And then then suddenly it's like,
here's the twelve to fourteen theater multiplex, and we also
(31:21):
have space in here for people to come in and
do luncheon events. And we've got an arcade over here,
and there's a bar over here, and you can have
a full Paddy melt sandwich brought to you while you
watch this this movie on these seats that recline for you.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
I don't want to give any of that up though.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
We Yeah, I know I like some of these little comforts,
but all these things come with Well we add this,
that adds a dollar to the ticket price, and when
you add like seven things, that's seven dollars to the
price of a ticket. And some families are like, I
can't afford to take my kids to some to see
something when I have a streaming service for eight dollars
a month that always has a variety of stuff we
(32:03):
can at least stare at for a couple of hours,
and then three nights later, go, what did we watch
the other night that we liked? I don't know. I
think Vince Vaughan was in it. Yeah, I think Vince
Vaughn was in it. Do we finish True Detective Season two?
I don't even know. I mean the American people, by
the way, have you seen True Detective Season two? Vince Vaughn,
your boy?
Speaker 3 (32:21):
I even seen the season one?
Speaker 1 (32:23):
We just we just watched it. Well, it's each season
is its own season. So season one was Matthew McConaughey
and Woody Harrelson.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
What movie or what series is he in when they
find the arm in the ocean?
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Not this one? So season two is Vince Vaughan and
Rachel McAdams and Colin Ferrell. I will watch it, and well,
it's it's super gritty, like you've got to wash your
brain after watch super gritty. But I'll watch Vince Vaughan
in that character, which is kind of always Vince Vaughn.
You know, for a guy who has a five, he
(33:01):
is kind of hot. Vince Vaughn plays the same character,
except sometimes it's funny and sometimes he's evil. You're right,
and you just really like him. So I see what
you're saying about Vince Vaughn. We just watched season two
a True Detective. I don't think I'm gonna move on
to season three. I need some joy in my life, Like,
all right, we're gonna turn this off and it's time
(33:22):
to put up all the Christmas stuff. That's what I needed.
But these are all things you can watch at home.
True Detective. That's isn't that a Netflix series? I don't
even know. I don't even know what I just watched
it on I don't remember. I just watched it, And
why do.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
We don't watch a lot of Netflix, so I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
I don't even know. It might be HBO Max, I
don't know. But when you've got these options for entertainment
at home, why go sitting uncomfortable or you know, reclining
decent seats next to some guy coughing on you, or
some kids on their phone the whole movie or some
whole families won't shut up. Don't go in there like
(33:59):
I'm trying to watch Five Nights at Freddy's. Two Electric Boogleoo,
Scott Voices News Radio eleven ten kfab
Scott Voies watching sports and things on Netflix were a
couple of big things over the weekend, and as it
turns out, these are the bigger stories in the country
today and not exactly involving Trump, though Trump has made
some comments on this Netflix Warner Brothers deal. We'll get
into that. I'm waiting for President Trump to get involved
(00:23):
in the college football playoff thing too. All right, let's
start there, because Jim Rose's time is very, very valuable,
and I don't want to waste any more than I
already am. But it was weird to me that Iowa
State and Kansas State said we don't want to go
to these bowl games when Notre Dame did it. It's
(00:46):
it just felt petulant. Now, a little set up here.
Notre Dame finished their season with two losses, same as
Miami and Alabama had three losses, and it was only
two spots for these three teams as who were going
to get in the college football playoff. So the Irish,
they're not really associated with the conference. They didn't play
(01:08):
a conference tournament. They sat back there let all the
other teams beat each other up. They had two losses
to start the season. They lost their first two games
to ranked opponents, one of them was Miami, the other
one Texas A and M, and then only played mostly
cupcakes the rest of the way, a couple of ranked teams,
lightly ranked USC and pitt. Miami wasn't much better, but
(01:30):
they beat Notre Dame and Alabama's Alabama and they're always
going to get in no matter what happens, because this
really really upsets a lot of college football fans. It's
about ESPN and the SEC. That's why they got in. Well,
Alabama's looked to me to be the better team this year,
but three losses, they're in Notre Dames out and Notre
(01:53):
Dame's like, we're not doing anything. Then we're not going
to a bowl game. We might never play college football again.
Eat it. So is Notre Dame being a spoiled bratt
on this or did they have some reason to push this?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I think they had reason to push this, given that
their two losses were early in the year to two
ranked teams, both of which are in the playoffs now
A and M in Miami. But clearly the committee put
a great emphasis on the conference championship game. Getting there,
even just getting there's good enough. See Alabama I would
not have put Alabama in ahead of Notre Dame. Three
(02:27):
losses versus two losses, and the two losses came to
top ten teams.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
So you would have gone for these three teams two spots.
You go Notre Dame Miami. Alabama's out. Correct. Why doesn't
Alabama get in? They beat had three losses, but one
of them was against Georgia, one of the better teams
in the country, a team that they beat earlier, earlier
in the year, So that's kind of a wash. So
now they're a two loss team. Now they lost to
(02:52):
Florida State, and Florida State looked great till they lost
seven of their last nine games. That's what would have gotten.
That's a tough one.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
If I'm on the committee, I'm saying, look at it, Alabama.
They got blown out by Florida State to start the year.
They were ready to drive Caitlin to Bore out of town.
And they put together a nice season with losses again
to Oklahoma on the road and then no, no, no,
the Olahoma game was in Tuscaloosa, big your pardon, and
then they had George in the title game. So clearly
what the committee believed is that the Southeastern Conference is
(03:20):
so much better than everybody else that they deserve slack
over a Notre Dame team which did not play a
great schedule after those first couple good schedule, not a
great schedule, but I would not have put a three
loss team ahead of a two loss team whose two
losses came in the first two weeks. To teams that
are in the playoffs. Now Alabama can say the same thing,
(03:40):
except for Florida State. The issue to me, Scott involves
conference championship games and the metric, because we're tweaking the
metric every year. You know, first you have to have
won this to qualify. If you didn't win that, you
don't qualify, well, then you're not going to have enough
spots because the only two teams make the conference championship game.
To me, the conference championship game should be wiped off
(04:01):
the face of the earth. But they make too much
money for the conferences, so they're not going to do that.
Even though half the stadium for the ACC tattle game
to be in Virginia and Duke and again Duke got
in and Virginia got in over tie breaking rules in
the ACC which kept Miami out of the conference championship game,
which could have legitimately made them absolutely a lock for
(04:22):
the playoff or not.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Now the loss. As far as this, I was on
a tech string with some friends last night and they're like,
college football is completely destroyed and it may never get back,
and they've ruined college football and they're ruining high school
football too. And I'm of course pushing back into my
text messages because I'm having fun with it, and I said, yeah,
but I watched a great football game Saturday night. Indiana,
(04:46):
Ohio State was a great football game. My team, the
Nebraska Cornhuskers, is not even going to have a whisper
of a chance to get into college football playoff anytime soon. Unfortunately,
remind me to ask you those two teams family, But
those two teams, yeah, are a great game. So I said,
all right, we had a great game on Saturday night
(05:08):
in a Big Ten conference championship that might be better
than the national championship game. It might be we might
be repeating. I don't know who sets up wearing the bracket,
but it looks like we have great teams here in
the playoff. We get a playoff. And the difference to me, though,
is the bowl games now don't mean anything if you're
not in the playoff, right, So that brings us to
(05:30):
k State and Ice State. Why didn't the wildcats of
the Cyclones decide, hey, let's go treat the team they
earned this bid. Be fun for the fans to go
someplace warmer, we presume, and having a little time over
the holidays. That's my feeling.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Look, I've always believed ball games were rewards for a
good season. Now they are rewards for a five and
seven season because there are five and seven teams getting in.
Because these six win teams are walking out, including Notre Dame.
It's for the kids. They get a trip to ideally
a warmer player. They they do a lot of really
fun activities for them when they're at this bowl game.
(06:05):
They get a big fat per dim that they can keep,
you know, because they feed them. But then they get
money for food, but they can keep the money. They
get some really cool swag. It's not a bad gig
for a kid who's been beating his head in at
practice every single day since August. Yeah, and they get
to go. In this case, the Iowa State and Case
State people are saying, well, we don't know about the
(06:26):
coaching staff. We don't have coaches, and we don't have
enough players. Guys are injured, some guys want to enter
the portal, they won't play, they'll opt out of playing,
So why bother? Okay, well, then the bulls are rendered
virtually meaningless. Now why even have them? Most of them
lose money. Nobody goes to them. There's no one there.
But very few seats are filled at some of these
(06:47):
bowl games.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
But if I'm sitting there on like the Tuesday of
Christmas week and like I'm gonna go get some lunch
someplace and it's you know, BYU and Presnoe, Fresno State
or something like that, like, Okay, there's a bowl game
on and nobody cares. I'll watch it for a little bit.
I don't know that I'm personally invested in it.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Well, the other challenge is the best players aren't playing
in bowl games. Now we saw that with Boston College.
Of the best coaches aren't coached. A lot of coaches aren't.
You know, last year in Nebraska be Boston College, a
mediocre program by five points. Their top six players weren't
playing in that game. I mean they said, no, we're
not doing this because we're going to the NFL, including
their All American defensive end. So to me, it's it's
kind of a sham anymore, where Bulls used to really
(07:28):
be powerfully important games for the season and for the program.
In some cases, Tom Osborne's ninth win came in a
Bowl game.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Look, there's a lot of things that I miss about
the past. Yeah, mostly the fact that as I look
back at the past, I was younger. Yeah, I had
my life was better and a certain zeal for life
that I clearly don't have now. But I loved New
Year's Day where it would start early in the morning
and by night's in you had a national championship, or
(07:55):
in the case of ninety seven two yeah, one and
a half. But again it's not nothing's the same, So
we have to deal with the reality we have. I'm
just going to enjoy the playoff games when we have him.
We got the Huskers playing on New Year's Eve Day
in the middle of the aftercon against Utah on ESPN,
(08:18):
So that'll be fun. Why not let's do it. The
question though, last question here for you, Jim Rose, and
thanks for doing overtime with me. You're gonna get a
whole lot of me starting next week, multiple hours a day.
But I just wanted to make sure you're okay with that.
Dylan Royola is a fantastic quarterback. Nebraska is poised to
(08:39):
do well in the future with him as quarterback. One
of the big problems this year, whether it was a
combination of him holding onto the ball too long or
feeling like he couldn't do what he needed to do
because the offensive line couldn't protect him. If the coach
goes to Royola and said, you're the future of this team,
we want to make sure you're protected, want to make
(09:00):
sure that we've got a running game intact that can
let you open up and do what you do. So
we're firing the offensive line coach. I would think any
quarterback would love to hear that, except when the offensive
line coach is his uncle. What do you make of
Donovan Royo? Donovan uncle Donnie? Yeah out and well everyone says, hey,
(09:22):
Royola is gonna bolt too. I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Well, we're gonna find out here in about three or
four weeks. Donovan Royola was only recruited to Nebraska to
be offensive line coach by Scott Frost to get to
Dylan because he really had no credentials to be the
offensive line coach at Nebraska, and he was retained, you know,
by Matt Ruhle for that. Normally, after a season like
we had with Frost last season, the whole place is
(09:46):
swept clean. Somehow this guy stays, he's got the right
last name. In the case of Dylan, your points are
very well taken, Scott, and that is what's he looking
for because the receivers largely are still here. Uh, the
running back room will be different because you're taking the
best back in fifteen years and ten or fifteen years
and he's gone. Is emm a senior or is no,
he's just going to he's declared for the NFL. He's
(10:07):
already declared for the off and the offensive line will
have new people. But we had new people this year.
We spent a million and a half on lineman this year,
and we still gave up record number of sacks.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I A lot of those linemen were hurt, but in
some cases, you know, Elijah Pritcher wasn't hurt. But the
bottom line is this, what style of offense are we
going to have now? With an offensive line coach whose
credentials are about running the ball, committing to a running game,
maybe even a two back set. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
And if that's the case, Dylan's not going to get
as many tosses. And that's the credential for the NFL.
Now that said, he also has a guaranteed contract for
nil money with eighteen ninety, the eighteen ninety collective, which
means that he's obligated to stay to get that money. Now,
maybe they could come to some sort of a settlement,
(10:58):
maybe he can get it somewhere else. He could probably
get it some I don't know. He's gonna get the
money somewhere else that he's getting here. The other question
is he ready to compete for the job, because if
Jay Latif has a big Bowl game against a good team,
now they're not as good defensively as Utah as offensively offensively,
they're a juggernaut. If he has a big game, then
you got a genuine quarterback competition here. It seems to
(11:21):
me or TJ's going to say, you know, this gig
is his, They're going to keep it his regardless of me.
I'll go somewhere else, which pre creates lots of animosity
among Huskar fans. We want guys to compete for jobs.
We've been giving out a lot of jobs in this
program for the last ten years. Recruits get set, you start,
(11:41):
well know, you don't worry about competition. You start, and
we got to stop doing that. But maybe maybe this
new philosophy or the new line coach with new lineman
that he's bringing in will be good for Dylan overall.
I liked the maturation of for between. He did something
year or two from IOLA, and I would hope that
(12:03):
year three would be even better. I think coach Rule,
first of all, needed to do what he did with
the defensive coordinator. We need to stop calling it the
coordinator a defense and call it the coordinator of war
like the Trump administration has done. You know this whole
thing about I got mad at Sean Callahan one of
these days that you were gone and I.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Was in here mad and you. I got mad at
him because he started touting again like, oh, Nebraska's got
this great pass defense, Like because nobody's throwing it on
throwing it, they can run up and down the field
against us. If you guys are out of the out
of the in the wrong spots and the play. We
can't tackle. It's ridiculous. So yeah, I got a little
a little test he with Sean, So we did the
right thing with defensive coordinator. Coach Rule either let the
(12:44):
offensive line coach go because he told Riyola, look, we
want you to set up for your best level of success.
Your uncle's not cutting it. Our value in the future
is with you, not your uncle. Let's make sure that
you're set up and maybe the nephew is okay with it.
Or Rule thought Rayola is leaving anyway, Why keep his
uncle around if he's not pulling his weight and he
(13:06):
sets up for the future. Either way, I think Coach
Rule made the right move here and day and Dayton,
Dylan's little brother d committed three weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah, well, I mean that there may be something all
mixed in here. Look, Rayola went to three high schools
in three years in three states. If he ends up
moving on, I hope he and Nebraska and our fans
can all find what they're looking for. It's the holidays,
I can have it.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
We just want to get into the playoffs. I'm gonna
have a great attitude about all of that.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
We just want to be in the playoffs. Is it
asking too much to be in the playoffs? Apparently so
eight there might be twelve teams in the playoffs soon.
No room for Nebraska and there they went, Alabama in
there we can get in, Jim, thank you very much.
And in a personal note, I look forward to spending
more time having conversations.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Yeah, we'll be doing this all the time for three
and a half hours. Are you really going to be
okay with Gary leaving? I'm coming to grips with it.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
It was a great not shocked in my system because
I thought he would retire two years ago. But uh,
you know, I don't have nearly as much aversion to
change as he does.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I'm not asking about him, I'm asking about you. You're
gonna be okay. You can live with change, you know.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Now, If it sucks, you know, then I'll just walk
in one day and say this sucks and I'm.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Out of here. Okay, Well they won't do that. Feels
like a lot of pressure on me, so that your
life you'll be doesn't suck. You'll be fine, all right,
Thanks Jim Rose. Right there, Kfab's morning news. All right,
Well that's that's football. Next. Netflix is up next two
minutes Scott Fores News Radio eleven ten k f A. Lucy,
(14:41):
I didn't want to leave you out of that conversation.
What do you think about Notre Dame not making the
playoff and say, well, we're not going to play in
a bowl game? Then me, I know, I know you've
got a lot of thoughts on it.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Well, Notre Dame has always been kind of prissy. They've
always been.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
You know, remember when a lot of people feel like,
if you criticize the Notre Dame football team, you're criticizing
Catholics and Catholicism. See, you might as well just go
up and slap the Pope's mama if you say anything
about the fighting Irish.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
See what I mean? If you criticize the corn Huskers
as you're not talking to me.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Just because you're talking to me, you're talking to me
Husker fans. It's kind of you ever see brothers where
you got like three or four brothers in a family
and they just destroy each other they either physically or verbally,
They tear each other down, they fight with each other
and all that. And the only thing that someone's not
(15:38):
allowed to do is say or do anything to someone's
brother that they would do to them. So it's like, hey,
we're gonna make this kid's life miserable, our younger brother,
but if someone else picks on him, you got to
deal with all of us. So it's kind of the
same thing with Nebraska football. We all run down the program.
This programs thinks no. But if if an Iowa fan says,
it's like, hey, pal, you can't say that.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
You just asked me if I thought what I thought
of Notre Dame not saying or saying that they're not
going to play in a bowl game, whatever.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Saying that. Fans take it personally when you criticize that program.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Asked me, Fine, fans if they want to take it personally, Okay,
I'm speaking to each and every one of you personally.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I only asked you because I wanted to hear what
you had to say about a subject that I know
you don't give a rip about.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I'll ask you this then. Okay, what happened to Alabama?
Were they even there? Did they even show up?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
What do you mean? On their their game against Georgia?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Correct? What they happened?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
They beat Georgia earlier in the year. They got beat
by Georgia here in the SEC title game. Sadly, that's yeah,
I consider that a wash. So now now that makes
them a two loss team. Okay, So then you have
the in Miami and Notre Dame fighting for three teams
two spots. I think I've though leaned towards what Jim said.
(17:02):
He's like, I'd give Notre Dame in Miami that nod
other than Alabama. But Alabama at least went in on
the last weekend of the college football year and played
a game. Well, Notre Dame was sitting home with the
rosary beads.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
And I am offending people, And why why would he
kick out Alabama? I know he doesn't have the power,
but why would he suggest.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
That because they had three losses and the other teams
only had two. But Alabama played a tougher schedule and
more games.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Doesn't everybody? Doesn't everybody play a tougher schedule than.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yeah, there are two losses are against two teams that
are in the playoff, Miami and Texas A and M.
But they didn't play not exactly. They didn't play cupcake
schedule the rest of the way, but it wasn't real,
real strong and they didn't play in a conference because
the Notre Dame's like, we're gonna do what we want.
(18:03):
You guys should join a conference. Nah, we're Notre Dame. Okay,
have fun playing in the souper Bowl or what.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
I'm wrong with my earlier comment.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
No, you're right. Okay, I don't know what you said,
but you're right.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
They're being kind of prissy.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Question for you, what would compel you to go see
a movie in a movie theater? Now?
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Not much. I would love to go back to the theater.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I just have when's the last time you saw a
movie in the movie theater.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
It's been a while. Sometimes people can be unruly in
the audience.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
What movies are.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
In my house? Though at my house, nobody's unruly.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
When you go see Rocky Horror, though, that's part of
the stick. That's okay, Like, what are these people doing.
I'm trying to watch this movie I've never seen. Isn't
that wouldn't that be awful? If you go see the
Rocky Horror Picture Show and everyone's all gooping around and
singing and your throwing popcorn and over the place, and
you're like, guys, please some decorum. I'm trying to see
this film.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
That would never happen.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I can't hear what the sweet transvestite is saying. Is
that meat loaf? So generally, you if you go see
a movie at the movie theater, you don't have to
worry about what the rest of the audience is doing,
because sometimes you're the only one there.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I like that to change two.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah, well, now that gets into the crux of this.
Notre Dame. Notre Dame, you've moved on, Netflix.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
No, bring them back into this one.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Notre Dame announced that they were going to build buy
Warner Brothers and make them only put out sequels to
the film Rudy. Okay, get ready for Rudy two Rudier.
This is even rudier and tutier than Rudy one. Rudy
two Electric Boogaloo. This is where Rudy gets a chance
(19:58):
to play for the fight and I and he has
to do a breakdance competition to save the community Center.
I would watch that movie in a heartbeat. Netflix. Sorry,
Netflix is buying Warner Brothers. Maybe. And here's the reaction
everyone has to it like Netflix is gonna ruin everything
(20:19):
because they're not gonna let any movies go to the
movie theater anymore. Well, is that Netflix doing that or
is that the American population. We'll discuss after a Fox
News update next, Scott, I've just spent the last few
minutes coming up with the various titles and plots of
new Rudy movies after as I said, a moment ago,
(20:40):
Notre Dame buys Warner Brothers and forces them only to
make sequels to the movie Rudy, which maybe you don't know,
is about a kid who walks on and gets a
chance to be on the Notre Dame football team, making
his dreams come true. So you had Rudy. That was
that plot with Friend of the Program Shawn Aston. And
(21:04):
when I say friend of the program, he was on
this show one time, told me even in some off
air give and take, he would love to be on anytime,
and we even devised a plan where he would actually
fill in and host this show for me sometime. He
was all gung ho to do it.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
And then is that what gorow?
Speaker 1 (21:24):
And then when further conversations, well, since this was all
like seventeen years ago, and any attempt to reach out
to him and go hey Shawn, you want no response.
He's busy. I know he's busy. I'm sure he's just
about to get back to me. Ohp, but I just
got a text message. It's it's from my dad. Okay,
so not Sean Aston, but I'm sure that we'll reconnect
(21:47):
at some point. Anyway. We had Rudy, Rudy two Electric Boogloo,
Rudy three in three D, Rudy four Citizens on Patrol.
This is where Rudy and campus security. That Rudy in
three D is essentially Rudy, except like he's he's going
(22:11):
in there to sack the quarterback or hit the tackle
the running back, and it looks like you're being sacked.
Isn't that cool? Also, Lucy Vince Vonnell be in that one,
so you'll be excited.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
I'll watch that. You forgot one though, unless you're not done.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Let's see here Rudy five The Quickening. I'm not sure
what the plot is of that one, but there was
some movie that it was called So and So three
The Quickening or something like that. And then finally Rudy
five The Revenge. This that's more like five nights at
Freddy Frady's. Rudy six, Rudy six.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
The musical wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I'm gonna show my family, I'm playing on the team,
ain't on the team.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
And then of course Fast Times at Rudy High.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
And I'll go play for the Uh well, no, that
that's only a one. That that was the title of
the movie. It wasn't the subtitle.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
So they're not remaking all kinds of movies about with Rudy.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
And they could. I just I just need good titles
for me.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
So I'm singing with the musical.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
It's it's Netflix that says we're buying Warner Brothers. Now.
Since then, Paramount this morning is like, we're we're I
don't know what they call this in business circles, like
a ejecting. There's you know what, let me see.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
They're filing a complaint with the FTC.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
No, there's a specific name. They're going right after the
shareholders and they're like, all right, if all of youlders
sell your shares to us at.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Paramount, Oh, hostile takeover, Craig, Yes, I can't take credit,
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Thank you, Craig. Paramount is attempting a hostile takeover of
Warner Brothers. And the reason for all of this, and
Netflix said, all right, we're buying Warner Brothers and immediately
Hollywood was like, this is heartbreaking, tragic. Jane Fonda lost
her mind. Was Alma's left of it? She said? She
(24:16):
wrote a letter. She wrote a strongly worded letter. You go, Jane,
She well, she went to Netflix and sat on an
anti Netflix piece of military equipment, did she Yeah, she
put on the helmet and she was out in the
parking lot of Netflix, going, ah, this feels right. And
she was sitting there at the turret of an anti
(24:40):
Netflix gun. So she wrote a strongly worded letter saying
that the end of a standalone Warner Brothers is quote,
an alarming escalation in a consolidation crisis that threatens the
entire entertainment industry, the public it serves, and potentially the
First Amendment itself. By the way, is the plot of
(25:01):
Rudy eight, tackling the First Amendment. The Writers Guild of
America says this merger must be blocked. The chief executive
of a group like the Teamsters hate it. The chief
executive a group that represents movie theaters says, this is
the worst and therein lies the crux of this whole thing.
(25:25):
It is thought, and I don't know why they would
think this all the chief executive of Netflix has ever
said is why would you release movies to the movie theater.
It's much more expensive to go. The American viewing public
would rather stay home. They can make their own popcorn,
they can watch on their own big screens. They've got
(25:47):
home theaters. They don't have to go to the theater.
They don't devil, they don't have to buy a movie ticket,
which is increasingly more expensive. They don't have to spend
eight dollars for popcorn, and they can sit in a
more comable chair at home in their underwear if they want.
The American movie viewing public would rather view movies in
(26:07):
the comfort of their own homes. That is Ted Sarandos,
the co chief executive at Netflix. Now, what did he
say when he was taking over Warner Brothers. He said,
We'll continue to release movies in theaters for exclusive runs
in theaters. Quote, it's not like we have this opposition
(26:28):
to movies in theaters. Right now, you should count on
everything that is planned on going to the theater through
Warner Brothers to continue to go to theaters. People are
like he said, right now, Yeah, now, is that something
that Netflix is going to make a decision on or
is that something in response to what he's saying, and
that is people aren't going to the movies at the
(26:51):
movie theater like they used to, not even close. Some
of this is they're like, what movie is out right
now that anyone wants to see.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Well, I mean, you make a good point with that
that Hollywood's not giving us a lot of great stuff
to make us get out and go see it. So,
I mean that's a good point. But this guy's doesn't
sound like his mom and dad hugged him enough not
to let people go to the movies. Yeah, he's not
not letting us. Well, but there's nothing to see.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Warner Brothers is not the only movie studio releasing movies
to theaters. There are several others. Now, Warner Brothers is
a big one, but they're not the only one. It's
not like, if they take away this little bit, sorry,
you don't have any other movies to watch other than
those art house flicks that go to film streams. So
(27:45):
he's I think, just responding to what the American people
are saying that they want and other people clinging to.
But I want the movie and look, I want the
movie theaters to be packed and fun and exciting too.
That was my other than it's my favorite job I've
ever had in my life was working at movie theaters
here in Omaha when I was in high school. I
(28:07):
love the movie theater. I think it's a great job
for kids. I think it's fun. But back in the
old timey times in the nineties, when I worked at
the movie theater, I take it was three dollars and
fifty cents. Five dollars after five PM. The large butter
popcorn was three dollars and fifty cents. You could get
a small drink for a dollar and pack up.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Those are prices of the time too.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah, but that's yeah, I know, it's all. It's all.
Everything's more expensive. I get it. But when you're talking
about taking the family of four out to go see
the New Superman movie, which was the last movie I
saw in the theaters, and it was it was alright,
it was so so. But when you're talking about taking
the family of four out to a theater, and I'm
(28:52):
not talking like on a half priced Tuesdays or if
you go see an even non matine evening thing your
family of four, this is a just for tickets. It's
almost fifty dollars to go see one movie, or you
can spend whatever for people. Yeah, okay, whatever, And then
that's not including concessions.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Okay, that's what I was confused by.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, that's not including concessions. And then you if you
take if you buy concessions, now you're up words of
eighty dollars. Take a family of four to go see
Zutopia two, which I'm sure is fun. I like the
first Zoutopia, but my kids, my kids are not Zootopia
(29:35):
aged anymore, so I don't take them to the theaters.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
But do you think if the ticket prices were lower,
I mean significantly lower? What are they about? Sixteen dollars now?
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Eleven to fourteen dollars most.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Okay, so let's say they went to six dollars. Yeah,
do you think that that would drive people into the theaters.
And because if they spend money at concessions, the theaters
are still gonna do.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Okay, right, Well, the theaters have also decided we're going
to go from like look at at Omaha. When we
were growing up, you had two multiplexes, right, you had
the Cinema Center and the Q Cinema nine No.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Six West at the West Roads that had about six.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
That's right, I see, I didn't work for that theater chain, so.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
I aside the Box, which I always forget about.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Uh, the West Roads, but like Indian Hills was only
what four giant big screen and then a couple others.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
I think it was just the one, but it does
feel like they added.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
They had a few more. But then the other movie
theaters were like the Park four, the Millard four, the
Gemini two, the Maple would twin you had, uh, I
mean the Park four where that was my that's that
was my home base, love Park Park four, Ralston. It
(30:58):
was not a big, grandiose place. There's there's a house
number one, two, three, four, They're all here right in
front of you. It was not a giant place. You
didn't need a ton of staff, and it wasn't like, hey,
we've got to pay a big light bill and all
the rest of this stuff. And then then suddenly it's like,
here's the twelve to fourteen theater multiplex, and we also
(31:21):
have space in here for people to come in and
do luncheon events. And we've got an arcade over here,
and there's a bar over here, and you can have
a full Paddy melt sandwich brought to you while you
watch this this movie on these seats that recline for you.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
I don't want to give any of that up though.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
We Yeah, I know I like some of these little comforts,
but all these things come with Well we add this,
that adds a dollar to the ticket price, and when
you add like seven things, that's seven dollars to the
price of a ticket. And some families are like, I
can't afford to take my kids to some to see
something when I have a streaming service for eight dollars
a month that always has a variety of stuff we
(32:03):
can at least stare at for a couple of hours,
and then three nights later, go, what did we watch
the other night that we liked? I don't know. I
think Vince Vaughan was in it. Yeah, I think Vince
Vaughn was in it. Do we finish True Detective Season two?
I don't even know. I mean the American people, by
the way, have you seen True Detective Season two? Vince Vaughn,
your boy?
Speaker 3 (32:21):
I even seen the season one?
Speaker 1 (32:23):
We just we just watched it. Well, it's each season
is its own season. So season one was Matthew McConaughey
and Woody Harrelson.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
What movie or what series is he in when they
find the arm in the ocean?
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Not this one? So season two is Vince Vaughan and
Rachel McAdams and Colin Ferrell. I will watch it, and well,
it's it's super gritty, like you've got to wash your
brain after watch super gritty. But I'll watch Vince Vaughan
in that character, which is kind of always Vince Vaughn.
You know, for a guy who has a five, he
(33:01):
is kind of hot. Vince Vaughn plays the same character,
except sometimes it's funny and sometimes he's evil. You're right,
and you just really like him. So I see what
you're saying about Vince Vaughn. We just watched season two
a True Detective. I don't think I'm gonna move on
to season three. I need some joy in my life, Like,
all right, we're gonna turn this off and it's time
(33:22):
to put up all the Christmas stuff. That's what I needed.
But these are all things you can watch at home.
True Detective. That's isn't that a Netflix series? I don't
even know. I don't even know what I just watched
it on I don't remember. I just watched it, And
why do.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
We don't watch a lot of Netflix, so I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
I don't even know. It might be HBO Max, I
don't know. But when you've got these options for entertainment
at home, why go sitting uncomfortable or you know, reclining
decent seats next to some guy coughing on you, or
some kids on their phone the whole movie or some
whole families won't shut up. Don't go in there like
(33:59):
I'm trying to watch Five Nights at Freddy's. Two Electric Boogleoo,
