Speaker 1 (00:00):
Live from the Marcus Majestic Theater one hundred and forty
fourth in Mabel. I am Scott Voorhees, and thank you
very much for being a part of the special Reagan
pregame show tonight.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Note to Matt back at the studio, I have a
vantage point here to the southwestern skies. It kind of
looks like it's brightened it up there. If there's something
coming up behind me that I can't see, if there's
some severe thunderstorm warnings or anything, don't wait for me
to take a breath. I might not do that for
the next hour, So just jump in, interrupt me, and
(00:31):
let's do weather coverage as necessary. Good deal, Yes, cool,
all right, Matt left to go smoke. All right, he
doesn't smoke, he just started. Okay, that's what we're gonna
do here for the next hour. Now we're taking over
the first hour of Glenn Beck Show. He will be
back in an hour from now for the second hour
of the Glenn Beck Show. For Glenn Beck fans and
(00:52):
I am one two, I apologize. I'll just give you
an idea of what you're missing right now on the
Glenn Beck Show. He doesn't like democrats, he's not real
sure about a lot of their motives, not a big
fan of Kamala Harris, and has recently come around to
the idea of Donald Trump. So I presume that's what
we're missing in the hour of the program. And I'm
(01:13):
just joke. I love Glenn and we'll get him back
on the radio here after seven o'clock this evening. So
what are we doing the special broadcast for here tonight? Well,
mostly we're having a party here at the movie theater.
We have a piano over here. I was just banging
out Missing You by John Waite, singing to Lucy Chapman,
who is here tonight. There's a cocktail bar in the lobby. Funny,
(01:37):
several KFAB listeners have stationed the sales over there. Interesting
And this is all leading up to the world premiere
of Reagan at seven point fifteen, and we're gonna do
another one at seven twenty five. We had been giving
away tickets for the last couple of week. If you
won tickets and you're on the way to the theater,
we'll see you in a little bit. Can't wait to
(01:57):
have you here with us. If you did not tickets,
they have added some more showings later in the evening
here that you can buy tickets for, and you're welcome
to come and check with the box office, either online
or call up, or just stop in if you want
to just come in. We've got tickets for the Italian
Festival this weekend, and there's one of those money machines
in here where you step inside the box and there's
(02:20):
money flying all over the place. In this instance, it's
a lot of Broncos bucks for Broncos Burgers. Tickets for
the Italian Festival. There's one hundred dollars. There's a legitimate
hundred dollars bill in there. There's a pass in there
to see five for fighting at Steelhouse, Omaha two weeks
in a night, so we've got that out here too.
You can come jump in that and that'd be fun.
We also have a special guest joining us here this
(02:43):
evening because tonight's festivities of these two screenings of the
film Reagan starring Dennis Quaid would not be possible without
some esteemed sponsors, including Sergeant Peffer's Cafe Italian Saddle Creek.
Dana Peffer of Sergeant Peffers is here Tonight. Shapiro Law,
Patriotic Productions, Marcus Theaters, and this group called Fallen Giant Films.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I'm not familiar.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yet with this specific group, but I'm very familiar with
the guy behind it. One of the greatest actors has
ever come out of Nebraska, and a guy who's he's
like does like eight different roles a day for five,
eight or some thirteen different TV shows.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Randy J.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Goodwin is here with us on news radio eleven ten
kfab Randy, thanks a lot for hanging out.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Oh man, I'm just happy to be here.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
This is always a joy for me to come home
and hang with my friends.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Now, before we get to Fallen Giant Films, I have
a question for you here about this movie, Reagan. Yes,
in your entire acting career, I'm sure you've been called
upon to play someone who's a real person, yes, either
alive or dead, and so you got to kind of
assume that characterization. How do you start doing that as
(03:58):
an actor? Because the first thing I would think is, oh,
people are gonna hate this. They love this character I'm
portraying and I'm not him, So I got to try
and act like him.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
How do I do without people hating me?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Well, the funny thing is the first part of that
is right.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I played.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
I did a movie called The Natalie Cole Story.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
You played Natalie Cole, that's right.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Yes, yes, I sang just like her, and I was
wondering if people would would know the difference.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
You know, your performance was wait for it unforgettable.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Yes, it.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Actually was.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
I actually played Marvin Yancy, her husband, who was also
her producer and the musician that she met. He's the
one who really brought her career or really kicked her
career off, and I had to watch video on him.
I went to my mom because my mom and dad
were fans of his. They would listen to his music
(04:52):
when they were you know when when probably before I
was born. And then I would talk to Natalie and
Natalie and and I would just have conversations, and I
would just listen to what she had to say and
look at the glow in her eye and the way
she spoke about him. I went, huh okay. And one
of the coolest compliments I have to say of my
(05:12):
career was when we were on set doing a scene
and of course she was watching three s Randa was
playing her. She jumps up, bawling her eyes out and
storms off set, and everybody stopped and wondered what was
going on. Well, we finished the shooting and at lunch,
(05:33):
she's sitting at the table by herself.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I go over to her and I said, okay, Nat,
and she goes, how did you do it? And I go,
how did I do what?
Speaker 5 (05:41):
She goes, You look like him, you walk like him,
you sound like him. It was like I was sitting
there watching Marvin, and I went, I talked to you.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
You told me who he was.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
So that's just the thing you really have to when
it's a real person.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
You do your homework.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
So I pardon my ignorance, which I say at the
start of every radio shown, no matter what the topic is,
Marvin Yancy has passed yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
In the I believe it was eighty six in the middle.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
So you had to kind of jump into the persona
of someone that you never met, you never talked to,
and and do it in a way that would make
his widow approve of this. How do you get into
that that mind space where you say, all right, it's
okay to do this.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
You know, I'm not like a lot of other actors
who have to go to a space or place and
they have to breathe.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
And I know a lot of people are gonna hate
me for this. It's just called acting. It's called acting.
Scut you do it.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
It's it's like like Jamie Fox. Jamie Fox is an
incredible mimic. You know, he can watch people and he
can do them. He does those kids, Eddie Murphy. He
can just pull the voices off. He doesn't study it.
He just does it.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
And if you're good at it, you just do it.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yeah, It's I would think it'd be pretty daunting. I'd
rather come up with a character that's totally faked. Like
Eddie Murphy's performance The Thream Girl kind of based on
two or three different guys, but he kind of made
it his own. Is a lot easier than Jimmie Fox
playing Ray Charles Ray Charles.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Well.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
See, that's the thing about Jamie. He's so phenomenal at
watching someone and pulling it off. His three greatest roles
were What Ray, which he won the Oscar, for Boondini,
which he was in Ali with Will Smith, and Boon Deini.
I mean he was perfect as boon Deini because he
could watch him and he did Tookie Williams, the Big
(07:48):
Gang member from La in the HBO series Tookie. I
think he killed those three roles better than any roles
he's ever done, because he was able to study the person,
watch the person, and he just he could do it.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
And I presume the third role is m Effer Jones
in the Horrible Bosses one of my favorite Jamie Foxx
up there, Yeah Jones switch golf Jones from a Horrible
Bosss movie.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I love that, awesome him.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
All right, So seeing Dennis Quaid here as President Reagan,
I would think, you know, the first thing I'd think
of and like trying to be Reagan is to try
You've got to do Reagan in a way that comedians
for the last almost fifty years now have done Reagan.
It's always well, you know, it's always kind of one
of the just kind of a well, well well mommy,
(08:42):
you know, and not to try and do that, you've
got to actually be a real person, because this isn't
a four minute sketch on Saturday Night Live. This is
a two hour movie. And you got to play him
from young too old. I mean, that's that's quite a
quite an undertaking.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Yeah, yeah, I loved Denis Quaid. I actually have reached
out for him to come here and do a project with.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Fallen Giant Films.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Interspace two, the Interspace three.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
We have to have a two.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
First, Well not really. You know, you can do anything these.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Days, you know what, Just skip right to three. We
knew two it was not gonna be that great. We
brought it back home for three.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
We brought it back home. It's the prequel. Yes, we
jump ahead, all right. I don't like it, but Dennis
Quaid is such a consummate professional that I've never seen
him do anything bad, never, So I wondered who was
gonna play Reagan when the movie was announced, And when
they said Quaid, I was like, God, he's gonna crush it.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah. You know.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
You know how this movie kind of got started, right,
There was a mini series by one of the networks
I forget which one. This was twenty years ago, little
more than twenty years ago. They did a mini series
called The Reagans. Oh yeah, and they tried to make
it like real, rugged and true to life. And I
was on the radio down in Kansas City at the time,
and people who were fans of President Reagan hated the
(10:05):
miniseries so much that we just decided to take it
a step further and be like tonight on the Reagans,
and it was just like Reagan going mice get in here,
like strangling them to death and you know, kicking people
while they're down and all this stuff, and like, mister president,
we hear this, I mean out there called ay, it's good.
You know, it's just like just trying to make him
as hateful person as possible, because that's apparently what the
(10:27):
miniseries was doing. So some guys saw that and said
we need to do a better portrayal of President Reagan,
and they got right on it, and twenty one years
later we have the movie. Yeah, it takes a while
to do these things.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Well, you know that is Hollywood. They uh, they push
what they want to push when they want to push it.
And I guarantee you back then it was the agenda
to make the president look as bad as possible so
we could keep everybody hating each other and afraid.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yes, think we we've gotten over that. Now.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
We just like, oh, you want to do public great,
We're a big fan. Good luck to you. It's just
good luck, super great. Everyone's happy. Randy J. Goodwin with
us here. I'm Scott boorhes. No, this is not the
Glenn Beck Show. He's back on at seven. We're doing
a special Reagan pregame show before our screenings of this
new movie at seven fifteen and seven twenty five this
evening here at the Marcus Majestic Theater, one hundred and
(11:19):
forty fourth and Maple. So, Randy Goodwin actor, you're also
of the same vintage as me. I look a lot
older than you. I think maybe you're a couple of
years old. I don't know how old you are. How
much do you wagh Anyway, we both grew up when
President Reagan was in office, and yeah, so I was.
(11:39):
I was a couple of years younger than that, but
you know, growing up coming of age in the eighties,
I want to hear your thoughts on him, because for me,
as a kid, looking at that, I was like, Oh,
that's what a president looks like. That's how a president acts,
That's how a president makes jokes, That's how a president
reassures the nation after the challenger. That's what a president is.
(12:02):
What were your thoughts growing up about President Ronald Reagan?
Speaker 4 (12:06):
I guess anyone before that. I really wasn't.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
I really wasn't paying much attention to because we were kids.
You know, we hit eleven, twelve, thirteen, we're getting into
junior high, moving into high school.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
So you kind of start paying attention.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
So technically he is the first president that I really
paid attention to a little bit as a kid. So
he's the first one I really remember outside of all
the stuff we learned in the history class. But you're
absolutely right. You go, oh, that's the president. That's what
a president. Oh, that's what a president is, Okay. And
(12:40):
then I went, oh, he was an actor, so I
can be president too one day, because I always wanted
to be an actor first. And then you know, the
politic thing kind of I paid attention to it a
little bit.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
But yeah, no, he was. He was that first one.
If you ask me.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I'm picturing you in the early eighties, you're like, oh,
it's distracted by other stuff, Like what was that?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Were you?
Speaker 6 (13:03):
Like?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
All right, today, we're gonna put a cardboard box down
on the street corner. We're gonna break dance because that's
what I was doing.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Yes, yes, with shade again. And and this guy right
here Mark, believe it or not, even with.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
That physique, this guy could break dance.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
He could dance.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Okay, all right, yes, we'll see if we can get
that going again. I'll step over with the piano and
play some Ali and Jerry. See if we can't break
this down a little bit.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Yeah, he'll He'll impress.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
You when you get started acting.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Let's see, I was born the day I was born.
I say, everyone has been preparing to be an actor
from the day they were born. You lie, when you
were a baby, when you're a little kid, and you
you're you're acting.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
But I knew I wanted to do it. At eight,
I knew it.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
I asked my parents and said, Mom that I want
to be an actor. Oh that's Hollywood, that's that's out there.
You can't they're corrupt. Oh you're gonna go to school
for architecture. And the whole time I was going through.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
School and you acted like you were going to do.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
That, acted like it.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Yes, snuck off, wasted a lot of money going to
college for something that I didn't want to do, And
here I am today doing what I want to do.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
So what was your first role where you're like, I'm
wrapping my arms around this, even if it was, you know,
a blue spruce and a production of The Juniper Tree.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
I was Jesus and the production of Jesus of Nazareth
at eight years old.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Speaking of for training actual people.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Yes, yes, my mustache kept for special effects. Weren't that
good back then? Neither was makeup. Yeah, And I remember
my mustache and beard kept hanging off, and it was
like hanging by a thread, and I kept trying to
smooth it down.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
And the director goes.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Just say the words forget about the mustage.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
How old were you?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Hey, they'd made an eight year old kid Jesus, Yes,
and didn't expect you to have a complex after that.
So like that's where your confidence come from. Yes, and
Jesus for the better part of the last fifty years
right now, Well, you.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Know, I never even thought about it like that. Maybe
that is where the confidence comes from. I'm like, I mean,
I talk to Jesus every day.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
See, you and I have that in common. Because I also,
I really I wanted to act, but I didn't have
the nerve to do it, so it would be like
a production of the Wizard of Oz. I didn't want
to be Scarecrow, or I mean I wanted to be
but I was too nervous. So instead I was like,
you know what I want to do King of the
Wing Monkeys, which is what I did in our Bloomfield
(15:31):
Elementary production of.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
The Wizard of Oz in sixth grade.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Not just a wing monkey, the King of the Wing Monkeys,
which I think is very much like Jesus.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Well, I don't know if the monkeys had dialogue.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
They know, they kind of flap. They had to flap.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
They had a lot of physical work. Not just anyone
can pull that off.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
The King of the Monkeys.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yes, so now you go from Jesus hit and everything
else like after that kind of a step down pretty much.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Yeah, nothing, everything I did was it didn't seem right.
Because after that was when I said, mom, Dad, I
want to be an actor. Because after that play, I
remember the uh the ovation afterwards, and I remember when
(16:24):
they brought everyone else out for curtain call and they
took their bows and they're clapping. But then when they
called me out, they kind of parted so that Jesus
could walk out, kind of red Sea parting, and everyone
was just clapping and screaming, and I was going, I
don't know, in my head, I remember this, I don't
know what I just did to make them do that.
But I want to make people do that for the
(16:44):
rest of my life. And that that was it.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I was tell go over your resume, over the sense
playing Jesus hit the high notes here for us, that's
always the hardest question.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
It was easier when I only had three credits. Yeah,
and then you just go and I still haven't done
what I want to do, which is why I'm back
in Nebraska next year, two years from now, ask me,
I'll be able to give you, like, definitively okay, my
most favorite thing.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
All right, Well, let's talk about then this new company.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
You came back to Nebraska, and you've been out mostly
in Hollywood more than New York, right, yes, and so
you've been out there a lot of questions about that,
but we'll kind of skip ahead to where you decided
to come back and tell lawmakers here in Nebraska that
there's more that our state can do to lure productions
(17:34):
to Nebraska. And then you decided to say, all right,
let me show you exactly how this is done. Tell
me about all this leading up to Fallen Giant Films.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
Well, going back to twenty twenty, I'm sorry, two thousand
and four, I started coming back and doing at the
Dundee Theater when it was still a cool theater. I
don't like what it is now, but I liked it
back then it was old school. And I started doing
acting writing seminars and when I would come in and
do a month so four weekends, and then I go
(18:06):
back to LA. When I was on hiatus, I would
keep coming back every year and teach how to navigate
Hollywood with integrity, how to draw a line in the
sand and don't cross it. Letting people know that you
can be in this business and be successful. May take
a little longer to get it, but you can do
it and keep your integrity. That's always been my mission
(18:29):
and my message is you can have this Midwest upbringing
where my parents raised me and my brothers, have that
Christian upbringing, and you can make it. You just have
to stick to your guns. They all just Hollywood knows
that most people are gonna give in. They're gonna give
in for the money, and they're gonna throw it in your face.
And they put a lot of money in my face.
(18:51):
It's not worth it. I mean, I've done very well
in the business, but have I broke that two hundred
million dollars ceiling like Will Smith or Denzel or some
of them.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
No, no, well, you got a zillion people auditioning for
one job, and you gotta I'll shine all of them.
And you know, at the same time, you also look
over and you see like, oh, some guy just you know,
zipped in here from Cincinnati and he knew someone. And
they're like, you're the star, you're doing the thing, you're
(19:22):
in the series, or you're in this film, or you're
in this commercial whatever, And you're like, you gotta be
kidding me. This guy just shows up and he gets
this stuff because he knows that guy. That's not fair.
So how do you deal with all that?
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Well, that used to be in the beginning of Hollywood,
how it would work nepotism on a scale of Well,
dude actually has a little bit of talent.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
He is a friend.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
But now it's do you have the same dirt. I
need you to have the same dirt on you that
I have on me, so you can't tell him my dirt.
Oh and I'll.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Reward you for it. I'll reward you for the nudity.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
I'll reward you for everything that you said you wouldn't
do order, you for it if you do it, And
I just couldn't give into that, and it never bothered me.
When other people came in and they got something, I'm like, hey,
more power to you. I know that God has something
for me and you can't take that from me.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
I know who I am. I can look at myself
in the mirror.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
I know Will Smith, I know Jamie, I know all
these guys from way back.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
But look what's happening to everybody in Hollywood today.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yeah, it's a shame, especially since I've been doing all
these nude scenes for free and mostly unrequested. Tell me
about Falling Giant films.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
So, Fallen Giant is obviously David and Goliath, and I
have felt like David my entire career, and I've felt
Hollywood is the Giant. And my job, I feel like,
is to for every one thing that Hollywood puts out
that is not wholesome, that is agenda driven, that.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Is you know, just yuck.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
I feel like I have to put out too, And
I made it my mission to come back and get
with people and build a team and just do something
that is good. And that's where Falling Giant came from.
And I just moved back six weeks ago full time.
My officers are here in the Blackstone Plaza, Falling Giant Films.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Is up and running and we are running fast.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
So people aren't sure right now, are like, I either
am or I know someone who is very talented. Yes,
and he or she come in and do this or
do that or whatever or something like that. So if
people are like, hey, do you need any actors or
actresses or whatever, how do I get in touch with you?
I had to start my career. Yeah, everybody, It's just
that easy, right, It's that easy.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
Everybody knows somebody who knows somebody who wants to be somebody.
So I'll make them all sit down with me so
that I can ask them, why do you want to
be in this business?
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Then I can tell them you can't do.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
What I do.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
You're not willing to sleep in your car. You're not
willing to sleep on a park bench. You're not willing
to be broke for the rest of your life. You're
not willing to not give in you will you know
what I mean. There's a lot of things that you
gotta not do in order to make it and still
hold your integrity.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
And that's what I'm here to teach.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I thank you very much for dropping your integrity and
respectability by a half notch to come hang out with
me tonight. It's always a pleasure talking with you. I
love that you're back here in our hometown, Omaha. You
can come hang out in the radio anytime.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Oh loving that, love it all right?
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Thank you very much, Thanks you, buddy, Brandy Jay Goodwin
right here from our live studio set up in the
lobby of the Marcus Majestic Theater one hundred and forty
fourth in Maple where we've got two showings tonight of
Reagan at seven fifteen and seven twenty five. Got a
lot of news radio eleven ten KFAB listeners showing up
who won tickets for these screenings. All of the tickets
(22:43):

so cool to go in there and just take in
not only the great food and the lunch specials and
the pizza and everything all day, but all the Beatles memorability.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
The Beatles Mastagia is definitely a big part.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
But we've been open for thirty six To.

always with the microphone, you know, right.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
So, yeah, so we've been open for thirty six years.
My dad opened up in nineteen eighty eight. All of
our sauces and soups are homemade.

still But I've also come to love the grilled chicken
salad absolutely.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
It's one of our staples. We're known for it. It's
a marinated chicken breast for two days and then we
grill it, chill it, slice it, and then we have
a grilled chicken set that we.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
Mix with it.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
And it's it's a little like you would never find it.
You can't find it anywhere in the entire world, I guarantee.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Also, I was hanging out in there the other day
and I was looking at some of the Beatles memorabilia
on there, and look, I love the Beatles. I wouldn't
call myself a beatlemaniac or anything. But I love the Beatles.
I love their music. I've got a couple of their albums,
the Greatest Hits packages all that stuff.

three and four and sometimes like five albums a year.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
I didn't know they had, like it's crazy sixteen albums
or something.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
So I wasn't even born when they were releasing albums.

Neither was my ignorance here.

like between the Beatles and the beach Boys, like beach

Speaker 3 (27:35):
All Right.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
That is Dana Peffer of Sergeant Peffer's Cafe Italian Saddle
Creek here with us on news radio eleven ten KFAB.
As I said, one of our sponsors for the night's event,
you want to grab this rank amateur right here and
have him sit down with this microphone in his face
as well. We've got a lot of a lot of
people out here hanging out at the Marcus Majestic Theater
(27:56):
one hundred and forty fourth in Maple. One of them
is someone who's just getting to start in the broadcasting industry.
We want to give him his first chance to be
on the microphone. He also happens to be the host
of kfab's morning News Morning's five thirty to nine right
here on this radio station.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
It's Gary Sadlemeyer.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Hello, Test Yeah, Hello, is this on? Thank Scott?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Hello, Gary oh Man, thanks a lot for coming hanging
out with us. Jim Rose just popped up. Yeah, Jim
Rose is heckling us here as well as.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
He may have given us a salute. I didn't like that.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Well, you got to put up with him every single morning,
all right, tell me about.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Yeah, but there's something public.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Here's something I've never asked you about.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah, you've been with the radio station for several years
at this point, and then they said, all right, we're
putting this guy on the morning show with you. He's
Jim Rose. How did all of that go in those
early days?
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Because now I actually uh promoted that part of that.
How that came to be as a long story, I
would hope.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
So you're the host of the show and you're a
program director of the radio station.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
I hope you had at least a saying it.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yeah. Well, I mean I've known Jim for years.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
But it's one thing to know a guy, another thing
to work with him. How are those first days working together?
Because you guys have become my favorite, Mary, there was
an adjustment in radio history.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
There was an adjustment, not anything horrible, but I mean,
you know how it is. If any any daily relationship,
regardless of whether it's business or romantic or whatever, there's
a lot of.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
And how to start that, you said, I'm just saying
you No.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
I mean, when you're working with somebody daily and for
hours and hours, there's an adjustment period. But we really
meshed pretty well pretty early. I just slap him a couple.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Of times, but.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
No, I worked out great. We have a wonderful time.
I hope it comes across.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
That's yes, you guys share.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
That's why I keep coming back there.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
You guys share a couple of key things in common.
I want to ask you about both of those here
for the next couple of minutes here in our special
broadcast and night. One of them is I love a
president Ronald Reagan. Yes, tell me about your thoughts son
on this man who when I was growing up was
the consummate like this is what a president is and always.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Show well, I can understand that because you were a kid. Yeah,
and I had we'd come we'd come through the Carter presidency,
which everybody knew by that time was not good. And
and Ronald Reagan, to me, I was not a huge
(30:42):
I was to remember what was was my late twenties
such a different time I was. I was, I was
interested in politics and I watched it but it wasn't
like this right versus left off was a little different.
Radiohole country was that it was different from what it is.
But anyway, I really liked him and voted for him.
(31:04):
And the thing that I was driving to work and
I worked afternoons then and I was it was about
eleven or I guess noon, beck East. Anyway, he was
being sworn in. It was an inauguration day and the
bulletin came down that Iran had released the hostages that
(31:24):
they had held for years, and I thought, whoa. Well,
they wanted to embarrass Jimmy Carter, the Iranians, but they
also didn't want to deal with this guy. They knew
what this guy was about. The other thing that struck
me early in his presidency was when the traffic air
traffic controller struck and he told him, no, you're back
(31:46):
to work Monday or you'll be fired. Yes, yeah, right,
they all said, guess what They were all fired. Okay,
this is a little different kind of deal here. He
reminds me of or Trump reminds me of him in
a couple of ways. And before you lose.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Your mind too late, you already said Trump.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
What he does, he does things, he doesn't just talk
about doing things. He does things. You may not like him,
but the point is he's not. Uh, but they're alike
in that way, and they know what they believe. Good morning, kermit.
Yeah we have friends talking as Yeah. But but but
the legacy beyond that is just to me remarkable. Mister
(32:27):
Garbiche up, tear down. They told him not to say that,
Oh advisors, Oh yeah, don't don't. No, no, no, they
took the speech writers took it out as advisors took
it out. Don't say that. Well, mister Garbiche, tear down
this wall. Yeah, iconic moment.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
It's the line we've been using in our promotion of
this event tonight. And I'm anxious to see in better
context this man who I just kind of watched growing up.
I also watched him get mocked mercilessly.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
They turned him into a doddering, forgetful old idiot in
his last day, ye, which I never even as a kid,
I never appreciated that.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
That part, that part is has not changed, And in fact,
it may have started ramping up big time with Ronald Reagan,
where the left has to take him down. Whoever the
Republican is. They have to be taken down, They have
to be ridiculed, mocked.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Well, I think that dismiss officios might say something that
maybe started a little.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Bit earlier than that.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Who would say Nixon fans, well, but he kind of
fraud It was different, Yeah, a little different, all right.
The other thing that you and Jim Rose have in common,
as while your quick take on this is a love
and a broadcast history with our Nebraska Cornhuskers. We got
Utah on Saturday to UH to start off this season,
what are your thoughts on the Big Red going into
(33:48):
the twenty twenty four campaign.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
I'm suns, which is the same as it's been ever since.
I Nebraska as well, you know, very optimistic that rule
gets it. And I think we've learned through the Steve Peterson,
Scott Frost, Trev Alberts ten years that it doesn't really
matter that you're from here. We used to think, Okay,
(34:12):
we got to get we got to get a Nebraska guy,
we gotta get it. Everybody wanted Steve Peterson, everybody wanted
Scott Frost, everybody wanted Trev Alberts, and Trev Alberts was
fine until he decided.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Still not sure what that was all about.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
That was just strange. But Matt Rule is like we
he embraces the traditions in Nebraska. He loves the Nebraska way.
He wants roots here.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Yeah, we had a little success doing that for a time.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Yes, Yeah, I think he's terrific. I look for a
very successful season. However, you want to measure that compared
to the last Many Bowl game? For sure? A lot
of people are saying, oh, we'll be seven, and oh
we'll be seven and oh going to Ohio State.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
So what's coming up on the radio tomorrow morning? It's
seven fifteen.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
A lot of well the season debut our official Husker
fan Richie and Papillion tomorrow morning. He texted me, or
day we I'm that we still on? Of course we're
still on.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
I'm graduated with the shot.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
How many years? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:11):
All right, fun, I can't wait to hear it. Five
point thirty to nine. Gary Sadelemeyer actually wows, Lucy.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Chat wonderful event here tonight. Can't wait for the movie.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
All right, I'll let you go in there and grab
your seat. That's Gary Sadlemayer. Kfab is Morning news here
tonight at the Marcus Majestic Theater. Where we are, what
twenty five minutes away from starting up the first of
two showings we have for winners of these tickets throughout
the last couple of weeks on news Radio eleven ten
kfab the film Reagan starring Dennis Quaid. Thanks again to
(35:41):
our sponsors. That would be Sergeant Pepper's Cafe, Italian Shapiro, Reja,
La Fallen Giant Films, a great organization called Patriotic Productions.
One of the co founders of this is right here
with us. Bill Williams of Patriotic Productions, Thanks so much
for coming and hanging out with us, helping us out tonight.
Speaker 8 (36:00):
Well, I'm so honored to be here, Scott. Thanks for
grabbing me to chat for a little bit.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
You've done honor flights with veterans of several foreign wars.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Here.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
You've got an incredible remembering the fallen Wall and display
that you put up here. We've talked a lot about patriotism.
Tell me your thoughts on President Reagan.
Speaker 8 (36:20):
Well, he was, he's held in such high esteem all
these years later, and as you know, in twenty eleven,
we brought in doctor ben Earin, the doctor who saved
a President Reagan after the assassination attempt, and I just
wanted to tell you, Scott, how wonderful that interview was
(36:41):
that you did with him. Great, great guy, just a
wonderful man. When he was here, we took him down
to the now closed forty and eight Club at seventieth
in Spring and had roast beef with a bunch of
World War two guys. And he's originally from Kansas City.
Just a regular fella. He was so gracious to everybody.
(37:01):
We just think a lot of him.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
So that was, yeah, fun to talk with the man
who was kind of really finishing up his day, been
up all night doing an emergency operation on someone, and
then they say, we're bringing in some victims from a
shooting over here, potentially involving the President of the United States.
And he looks in his room and there's Ronald Reagan there.
And I said, did it ever creep into your mind,
(37:24):
like if I don't save the President's life, I'm going
to be blamed for this the rest of my life.
He said, oh, yeah, I'm doing the surgery and I'm
thinking I can see a newspaper headline say, doctor lets
the president die. He admitted that in this conversation if
you miss my talk with doctor Aaron, it's on the
Vintage orhe's podcast link Scott Vorheas page at kfab dot com.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
I hope you go listen to it.
Speaker 8 (37:47):
So that was a wonderful question too. I was really
hanging on his thoughts on that.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
No, he was amazing.
Speaker 8 (37:53):
So he he's ninety two, but you would never know it.
Isn't that amazing?
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Never know it. I think he was thirty forty years younger.
Speaker 8 (38:00):
Now here's the interesting thing.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
His long time.
Speaker 8 (38:03):
He was married for what seventy years, His wife died.
He's now remarried and she's a jag at Fort Bliss
and al Paso, and so he says, I'm a house
husband now.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
And anyway, he's just a joy.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
We just got a few seconds to wrap up. What's
Patriotic Productions up to? Where can people learn more.
Speaker 8 (38:23):
Well Patriotic productions plural Patriotic Productions dot org. Our upcoming
event next, I guess, would be our Patriotic Parade number five,
which is May twenty fourth of Memorial Day weekend downtown Omaha,
which is about ten thousand.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
And I know we've got some more things cooked up
here yet this year, but that's for an announcement on
another day. Bill Williams, thank you so much for what
you and Yvonne and Patriotic Productions do.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
You're a great American. Go enjoy this movie.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Thank you, Scott.
Speaker 3 (38:50):
That's what I'm gonna do too.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
We're gonna give control of the radio station back to
Fox News and a KFAB news update forecast as well,
and then Glenn back for the next couple of hours
before Jesse Kelly nine midnight. Thanks for being with us
here in the special Reagan pregame show on News Radio
eleven to ten KFAB
Live from the Marcus Majestic Theater one hundred and forty
fourth in Mabel. I am Scott Voorhees, and thank you
very much for being a part of the special Reagan
pregame show tonight.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Note to Matt back at the studio, I have a
vantage point here to the southwestern skies. It kind of
looks like it's brightened it up there. If there's something
coming up behind me that I can't see, if there's
some severe thunderstorm warnings or anything, don't wait for me
to take a breath. I might not do that for
the next hour, So just jump in, interrupt me, and
(00:31):
let's do weather coverage as necessary. Good deal, Yes, cool,
all right, Matt left to go smoke. All right, he
doesn't smoke, he just started. Okay, that's what we're gonna
do here for the next hour. Now we're taking over
the first hour of Glenn Beck Show. He will be
back in an hour from now for the second hour
of the Glenn Beck Show. For Glenn Beck fans and
(00:52):
I am one two, I apologize. I'll just give you
an idea of what you're missing right now on the
Glenn Beck Show. He doesn't like democrats, he's not real
sure about a lot of their motives, not a big
fan of Kamala Harris, and has recently come around to
the idea of Donald Trump. So I presume that's what
we're missing in the hour of the program. And I'm
(01:13):
just joke. I love Glenn and we'll get him back
on the radio here after seven o'clock this evening. So
what are we doing the special broadcast for here tonight? Well,
mostly we're having a party here at the movie theater.
We have a piano over here. I was just banging
out Missing You by John Waite, singing to Lucy Chapman,
who is here tonight. There's a cocktail bar in the lobby. Funny,
(01:37):
several KFAB listeners have stationed the sales over there. Interesting
And this is all leading up to the world premiere
of Reagan at seven point fifteen, and we're gonna do
another one at seven twenty five. We had been giving
away tickets for the last couple of week. If you
won tickets and you're on the way to the theater,
we'll see you in a little bit. Can't wait to
(01:57):
have you here with us. If you did not tickets,
they have added some more showings later in the evening
here that you can buy tickets for, and you're welcome
to come and check with the box office, either online
or call up, or just stop in if you want
to just come in. We've got tickets for the Italian
Festival this weekend, and there's one of those money machines
in here where you step inside the box and there's
(02:20):
money flying all over the place. In this instance, it's
a lot of Broncos bucks for Broncos Burgers. Tickets for
the Italian Festival. There's one hundred dollars. There's a legitimate
hundred dollars bill in there. There's a pass in there
to see five for fighting at Steelhouse, Omaha two weeks
in a night, so we've got that out here too.
You can come jump in that and that'd be fun.
We also have a special guest joining us here this
(02:43):
evening because tonight's festivities of these two screenings of the
film Reagan starring Dennis Quaid would not be possible without
some esteemed sponsors, including Sergeant Peffer's Cafe Italian Saddle Creek.
Dana Peffer of Sergeant Peffers is here Tonight. Shapiro Law,
Patriotic Productions, Marcus Theaters, and this group called Fallen Giant Films.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I'm not familiar.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Yet with this specific group, but I'm very familiar with
the guy behind it. One of the greatest actors has
ever come out of Nebraska, and a guy who's he's
like does like eight different roles a day for five,
eight or some thirteen different TV shows.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Randy J.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Goodwin is here with us on news radio eleven ten
kfab Randy, thanks a lot for hanging out.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Oh man, I'm just happy to be here.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
This is always a joy for me to come home
and hang with my friends.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Now, before we get to Fallen Giant Films, I have
a question for you here about this movie, Reagan. Yes,
in your entire acting career, I'm sure you've been called
upon to play someone who's a real person, yes, either
alive or dead, and so you got to kind of
assume that characterization. How do you start doing that as
(03:58):
an actor? Because the first thing I would think is, oh,
people are gonna hate this. They love this character I'm
portraying and I'm not him, So I got to try
and act like him.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
How do I do without people hating me?
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Well, the funny thing is the first part of that
is right.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I played.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
I did a movie called The Natalie Cole Story.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
You played Natalie Cole, that's right.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Yes, yes, I sang just like her, and I was
wondering if people would would know the difference.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
You know, your performance was wait for it unforgettable.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Yes, it.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Actually was.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
I actually played Marvin Yancy, her husband, who was also
her producer and the musician that she met. He's the
one who really brought her career or really kicked her
career off, and I had to watch video on him.
I went to my mom because my mom and dad
were fans of his. They would listen to his music
(04:52):
when they were you know when when probably before I
was born. And then I would talk to Natalie and
Natalie and and I would just have conversations, and I
would just listen to what she had to say and
look at the glow in her eye and the way
she spoke about him. I went, huh okay. And one
of the coolest compliments I have to say of my
(05:12):
career was when we were on set doing a scene
and of course she was watching three s Randa was
playing her. She jumps up, bawling her eyes out and
storms off set, and everybody stopped and wondered what was
going on. Well, we finished the shooting and at lunch,
(05:33):
she's sitting at the table by herself.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I go over to her and I said, okay, Nat,
and she goes, how did you do it? And I go,
how did I do what?
Speaker 5 (05:41):
She goes, You look like him, you walk like him,
you sound like him. It was like I was sitting
there watching Marvin, and I went, I talked to you.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
You told me who he was.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
So that's just the thing you really have to when
it's a real person.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
You do your homework.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
So I pardon my ignorance, which I say at the
start of every radio shown, no matter what the topic is,
Marvin Yancy has passed yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
In the I believe it was eighty six in the middle.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
So you had to kind of jump into the persona
of someone that you never met, you never talked to,
and and do it in a way that would make
his widow approve of this. How do you get into
that that mind space where you say, all right, it's
okay to do this.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
You know, I'm not like a lot of other actors
who have to go to a space or place and
they have to breathe.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
And I know a lot of people are gonna hate
me for this. It's just called acting. It's called acting.
Scut you do it.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
It's it's like like Jamie Fox. Jamie Fox is an
incredible mimic. You know, he can watch people and he
can do them. He does those kids, Eddie Murphy. He
can just pull the voices off. He doesn't study it.
He just does it.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
And if you're good at it, you just do it.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yeah, It's I would think it'd be pretty daunting. I'd
rather come up with a character that's totally faked. Like
Eddie Murphy's performance The Thream Girl kind of based on
two or three different guys, but he kind of made
it his own. Is a lot easier than Jimmie Fox
playing Ray Charles Ray Charles.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Well.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
See, that's the thing about Jamie. He's so phenomenal at
watching someone and pulling it off. His three greatest roles
were What Ray, which he won the Oscar, for Boondini,
which he was in Ali with Will Smith, and Boon Deini.
I mean he was perfect as boon Deini because he
could watch him and he did Tookie Williams, the Big
(07:48):
Gang member from La in the HBO series Tookie. I
think he killed those three roles better than any roles
he's ever done, because he was able to study the person,
watch the person, and he just he could do it.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
And I presume the third role is m Effer Jones
in the Horrible Bosses one of my favorite Jamie Foxx
up there, Yeah Jones switch golf Jones from a Horrible
Bosss movie.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I love that, awesome him.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
All right, So seeing Dennis Quaid here as President Reagan,
I would think, you know, the first thing I'd think
of and like trying to be Reagan is to try
You've got to do Reagan in a way that comedians
for the last almost fifty years now have done Reagan.
It's always well, you know, it's always kind of one
of the just kind of a well, well well mommy,
(08:42):
you know, and not to try and do that, you've
got to actually be a real person, because this isn't
a four minute sketch on Saturday Night Live. This is
a two hour movie. And you got to play him
from young too old. I mean, that's that's quite a
quite an undertaking.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
Yeah, yeah, I loved Denis Quaid. I actually have reached
out for him to come here and do a project with.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Fallen Giant Films.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Interspace two, the Interspace three.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
We have to have a two.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
First, Well not really. You know, you can do anything these.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Days, you know what, Just skip right to three. We
knew two it was not gonna be that great. We
brought it back home for three.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
We brought it back home. It's the prequel. Yes, we
jump ahead, all right. I don't like it, but Dennis
Quaid is such a consummate professional that I've never seen
him do anything bad, never, So I wondered who was
gonna play Reagan when the movie was announced, And when
they said Quaid, I was like, God, he's gonna crush it.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah. You know.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
You know how this movie kind of got started, right,
There was a mini series by one of the networks
I forget which one. This was twenty years ago, little
more than twenty years ago. They did a mini series
called The Reagans. Oh yeah, and they tried to make
it like real, rugged and true to life. And I
was on the radio down in Kansas City at the time,
and people who were fans of President Reagan hated the
(10:05):
miniseries so much that we just decided to take it
a step further and be like tonight on the Reagans,
and it was just like Reagan going mice get in here,
like strangling them to death and you know, kicking people
while they're down and all this stuff, and like, mister president,
we hear this, I mean out there called ay, it's good.
You know, it's just like just trying to make him
as hateful person as possible, because that's apparently what the
(10:27):
miniseries was doing. So some guys saw that and said
we need to do a better portrayal of President Reagan,
and they got right on it, and twenty one years
later we have the movie. Yeah, it takes a while
to do these things.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
Well, you know that is Hollywood. They uh, they push
what they want to push when they want to push it.
And I guarantee you back then it was the agenda
to make the president look as bad as possible so
we could keep everybody hating each other and afraid.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yes, think we we've gotten over that. Now.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
We just like, oh, you want to do public great,
We're a big fan. Good luck to you. It's just
good luck, super great. Everyone's happy. Randy J. Goodwin with
us here. I'm Scott boorhes. No, this is not the
Glenn Beck Show. He's back on at seven. We're doing
a special Reagan pregame show before our screenings of this
new movie at seven fifteen and seven twenty five this
evening here at the Marcus Majestic Theater, one hundred and
(11:19):
forty fourth and Maple. So, Randy Goodwin actor, you're also
of the same vintage as me. I look a lot
older than you. I think maybe you're a couple of
years old. I don't know how old you are. How
much do you wagh Anyway, we both grew up when
President Reagan was in office, and yeah, so I was.
(11:39):
I was a couple of years younger than that, but
you know, growing up coming of age in the eighties,
I want to hear your thoughts on him, because for me,
as a kid, looking at that, I was like, Oh,
that's what a president looks like. That's how a president acts,
That's how a president makes jokes, That's how a president
reassures the nation after the challenger. That's what a president is.
(12:02):
What were your thoughts growing up about President Ronald Reagan?
Speaker 4 (12:06):
I guess anyone before that. I really wasn't.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
I really wasn't paying much attention to because we were kids.
You know, we hit eleven, twelve, thirteen, we're getting into
junior high, moving into high school.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
So you kind of start paying attention.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
So technically he is the first president that I really
paid attention to a little bit as a kid. So
he's the first one I really remember outside of all
the stuff we learned in the history class. But you're
absolutely right. You go, oh, that's the president. That's what
a president. Oh, that's what a president is, Okay. And
(12:40):
then I went, oh, he was an actor, so I
can be president too one day, because I always wanted
to be an actor first. And then you know, the
politic thing kind of I paid attention to it a
little bit.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
But yeah, no, he was. He was that first one.
If you ask me.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I'm picturing you in the early eighties, you're like, oh,
it's distracted by other stuff, Like what was that?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Were you?
Speaker 6 (13:03):
Like?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
All right, today, we're gonna put a cardboard box down
on the street corner. We're gonna break dance because that's
what I was doing.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Yes, yes, with shade again. And and this guy right
here Mark, believe it or not, even with.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
That physique, this guy could break dance.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
He could dance.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Okay, all right, yes, we'll see if we can get
that going again. I'll step over with the piano and
play some Ali and Jerry. See if we can't break
this down a little bit.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Yeah, he'll He'll impress.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
You when you get started acting.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Let's see, I was born the day I was born.
I say, everyone has been preparing to be an actor
from the day they were born. You lie, when you
were a baby, when you're a little kid, and you
you're you're acting.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
But I knew I wanted to do it. At eight,
I knew it.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
I asked my parents and said, Mom that I want
to be an actor. Oh that's Hollywood, that's that's out there.
You can't they're corrupt. Oh you're gonna go to school
for architecture. And the whole time I was going through.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
School and you acted like you were going to do.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
That, acted like it.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Yes, snuck off, wasted a lot of money going to
college for something that I didn't want to do, And
here I am today doing what I want to do.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
So what was your first role where you're like, I'm
wrapping my arms around this, even if it was, you know,
a blue spruce and a production of The Juniper Tree.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
I was Jesus and the production of Jesus of Nazareth
at eight years old.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Speaking of for training actual people.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Yes, yes, my mustache kept for special effects. Weren't that
good back then? Neither was makeup. Yeah, And I remember
my mustache and beard kept hanging off, and it was
like hanging by a thread, and I kept trying to
smooth it down.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
And the director goes.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Just say the words forget about the mustage.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
How old were you?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Hey, they'd made an eight year old kid Jesus, Yes,
and didn't expect you to have a complex after that.
So like that's where your confidence come from. Yes, and
Jesus for the better part of the last fifty years
right now, Well, you.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
Know, I never even thought about it like that. Maybe
that is where the confidence comes from. I'm like, I mean,
I talk to Jesus every day.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
See, you and I have that in common. Because I also,
I really I wanted to act, but I didn't have
the nerve to do it, so it would be like
a production of the Wizard of Oz. I didn't want
to be Scarecrow, or I mean I wanted to be
but I was too nervous. So instead I was like,
you know what I want to do King of the
Wing Monkeys, which is what I did in our Bloomfield
(15:31):
Elementary production of.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
The Wizard of Oz in sixth grade.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Not just a wing monkey, the King of the Wing Monkeys,
which I think is very much like Jesus.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Well, I don't know if the monkeys had dialogue.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
They know, they kind of flap. They had to flap.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
They had a lot of physical work. Not just anyone
can pull that off.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
The King of the Monkeys.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yes, so now you go from Jesus hit and everything
else like after that kind of a step down pretty much.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Yeah, nothing, everything I did was it didn't seem right.
Because after that was when I said, mom, Dad, I
want to be an actor. Because after that play, I
remember the uh the ovation afterwards, and I remember when
(16:24):
they brought everyone else out for curtain call and they
took their bows and they're clapping. But then when they
called me out, they kind of parted so that Jesus
could walk out, kind of red Sea parting, and everyone
was just clapping and screaming, and I was going, I
don't know, in my head, I remember this, I don't
know what I just did to make them do that.
But I want to make people do that for the
(16:44):
rest of my life. And that that was it.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I was tell go over your resume, over the sense
playing Jesus hit the high notes here for us, that's
always the hardest question.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
It was easier when I only had three credits. Yeah,
and then you just go and I still haven't done
what I want to do, which is why I'm back
in Nebraska next year, two years from now, ask me,
I'll be able to give you, like, definitively okay, my
most favorite thing.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
All right, Well, let's talk about then this new company.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
You came back to Nebraska, and you've been out mostly
in Hollywood more than New York, right, yes, and so
you've been out there a lot of questions about that,
but we'll kind of skip ahead to where you decided
to come back and tell lawmakers here in Nebraska that
there's more that our state can do to lure productions
(17:34):
to Nebraska. And then you decided to say, all right,
let me show you exactly how this is done. Tell
me about all this leading up to Fallen Giant Films.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
Well, going back to twenty twenty, I'm sorry, two thousand
and four, I started coming back and doing at the
Dundee Theater when it was still a cool theater. I
don't like what it is now, but I liked it
back then it was old school. And I started doing
acting writing seminars and when I would come in and
do a month so four weekends, and then I go
(18:06):
back to LA. When I was on hiatus, I would
keep coming back every year and teach how to navigate
Hollywood with integrity, how to draw a line in the
sand and don't cross it. Letting people know that you
can be in this business and be successful. May take
a little longer to get it, but you can do
it and keep your integrity. That's always been my mission
(18:29):
and my message is you can have this Midwest upbringing
where my parents raised me and my brothers, have that
Christian upbringing, and you can make it. You just have
to stick to your guns. They all just Hollywood knows
that most people are gonna give in. They're gonna give
in for the money, and they're gonna throw it in your face.
And they put a lot of money in my face.
(18:51):
It's not worth it. I mean, I've done very well
in the business, but have I broke that two hundred
million dollars ceiling like Will Smith or Denzel or some
of them.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
No, no, well, you got a zillion people auditioning for
one job, and you gotta I'll shine all of them.
And you know, at the same time, you also look
over and you see like, oh, some guy just you know,
zipped in here from Cincinnati and he knew someone. And
they're like, you're the star, you're doing the thing, you're
(19:22):
in the series, or you're in this film, or you're
in this commercial whatever, And you're like, you gotta be
kidding me. This guy just shows up and he gets
this stuff because he knows that guy. That's not fair.
So how do you deal with all that?
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Well, that used to be in the beginning of Hollywood,
how it would work nepotism on a scale of Well,
dude actually has a little bit of talent.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
He is a friend.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
But now it's do you have the same dirt. I
need you to have the same dirt on you that
I have on me, so you can't tell him my dirt.
Oh and I'll.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Reward you for it. I'll reward you for the nudity.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
I'll reward you for everything that you said you wouldn't
do order, you for it if you do it, And
I just couldn't give into that, and it never bothered me.
When other people came in and they got something, I'm like, hey,
more power to you. I know that God has something
for me and you can't take that from me.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
I know who I am. I can look at myself
in the mirror.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
I know Will Smith, I know Jamie, I know all
these guys from way back.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
But look what's happening to everybody in Hollywood today.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yeah, it's a shame, especially since I've been doing all
these nude scenes for free and mostly unrequested. Tell me
about Falling Giant films.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
So, Fallen Giant is obviously David and Goliath, and I
have felt like David my entire career, and I've felt
Hollywood is the Giant. And my job, I feel like,
is to for every one thing that Hollywood puts out
that is not wholesome, that is agenda driven, that.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Is you know, just yuck.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
I feel like I have to put out too, And
I made it my mission to come back and get
with people and build a team and just do something
that is good. And that's where Falling Giant came from.
And I just moved back six weeks ago full time.
My officers are here in the Blackstone Plaza, Falling Giant Films.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Is up and running and we are running fast.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
So people aren't sure right now, are like, I either
am or I know someone who is very talented. Yes,
and he or she come in and do this or
do that or whatever or something like that. So if
people are like, hey, do you need any actors or
actresses or whatever, how do I get in touch with you?
I had to start my career. Yeah, everybody, It's just
that easy, right, It's that easy.
Speaker 5 (21:43):
Everybody knows somebody who knows somebody who wants to be somebody.
So I'll make them all sit down with me so
that I can ask them, why do you want to
be in this business?
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Then I can tell them you can't do.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
What I do.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
You're not willing to sleep in your car. You're not
willing to sleep on a park bench. You're not willing
to be broke for the rest of your life. You're
not willing to not give in you will you know
what I mean. There's a lot of things that you
gotta not do in order to make it and still
hold your integrity.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
And that's what I'm here to teach.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I thank you very much for dropping your integrity and
respectability by a half notch to come hang out with
me tonight. It's always a pleasure talking with you. I
love that you're back here in our hometown, Omaha. You
can come hang out in the radio anytime.

Speaker 7 (24:32):
Exactly, A little bit but special.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
That's what I liked since I was three and I
still But I've also come to love the grilled chicken
salad absolutely.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
It's one of our staples. We're known for it. It's
a marinated chicken breast for two days and then we
grill it, chill it, slice it, and then we have
a grilled chicken set that we.
Speaker 7 (24:51):
Mix with it.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
And it's it's a little like you would never find it.
You can't find it anywhere in the entire world, I guarantee.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Also, I was hanging out in there the other day
and I was looking at some of the Beatles memorabilia
on there, and look, I love the Beatles. I wouldn't
call myself a beatlemaniac or anything. But I love the Beatles.
I love their music. I've got a couple of their albums,
the Greatest Hits packages all that stuff.

here on this radio station.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
It's Gary Sadlemeyer.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Hello, Test Yeah, Hello, is this on? Thank Scott?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Hello, Gary oh Man, thanks a lot for coming hanging
out with us. Jim Rose just popped up. Yeah, Jim
Rose is heckling us here as well as.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
He may have given us a salute. I didn't like that.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
That's fine.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Well, you got to put up with him every single morning,
all right, tell me about.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Yeah, but there's something public.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Here's something I've never asked you about.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah, you've been with the radio station for several years
at this point, and then they said, all right, we're
putting this guy on the morning show with you. He's
Jim Rose. How did all of that go in those
early days?
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Because now I actually uh promoted that part of that.
How that came to be as a long story, I
would hope.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
So you're the host of the show and you're a
program director of the radio station.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
I hope you had at least a saying it.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Yeah. Well, I mean I've known Jim for years.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
But it's one thing to know a guy, another thing
to work with him. How are those first days working together?
Because you guys have become my favorite, Mary, there was
an adjustment in radio history.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
There was an adjustment, not anything horrible, but I mean,
you know how it is. If any any daily relationship,
regardless of whether it's business or romantic or whatever, there's
a lot of.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
And how to start that, you said, I'm just saying
you No.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
I mean, when you're working with somebody daily and for
hours and hours, there's an adjustment period. But we really
meshed pretty well pretty early. I just slap him a couple.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Of times, but.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
No, I worked out great. We have a wonderful time.
I hope it comes across.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
That's yes, you guys share.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
That's why I keep coming back there.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
You guys share a couple of key things in common.
I want to ask you about both of those here
for the next couple of minutes here in our special
broadcast and night. One of them is I love a
president Ronald Reagan. Yes, tell me about your thoughts son
on this man who when I was growing up was
the consummate like this is what a president is and always.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Show well, I can understand that because you were a kid. Yeah,
and I had we'd come we'd come through the Carter presidency,
which everybody knew by that time was not good. And
and Ronald Reagan, to me, I was not a huge
(30:42):
I was to remember what was was my late twenties
such a different time I was. I was, I was
interested in politics and I watched it but it wasn't
like this right versus left off was a little different.
Radiohole country was that it was different from what it is.
But anyway, I really liked him and voted for him.
(31:04):
And the thing that I was driving to work and
I worked afternoons then and I was it was about
eleven or I guess noon, beck East. Anyway, he was
being sworn in. It was an inauguration day and the
bulletin came down that Iran had released the hostages that
(31:24):
they had held for years, and I thought, whoa. Well,
they wanted to embarrass Jimmy Carter, the Iranians, but they
also didn't want to deal with this guy. They knew
what this guy was about. The other thing that struck
me early in his presidency was when the traffic air
traffic controller struck and he told him, no, you're back
(31:46):
to work Monday or you'll be fired. Yes, yeah, right,
they all said, guess what They were all fired. Okay,
this is a little different kind of deal here. He
reminds me of or Trump reminds me of him in
a couple of ways. And before you lose.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
Your mind too late, you already said Trump.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
What he does, he does things, he doesn't just talk
about doing things. He does things. You may not like him,
but the point is he's not. Uh, but they're alike
in that way, and they know what they believe. Good morning, kermit.
Yeah we have friends talking as Yeah. But but but
the legacy beyond that is just to me remarkable. Mister
(32:27):
Garbiche up, tear down. They told him not to say that,
Oh advisors, Oh yeah, don't don't. No, no, no, they
took the speech writers took it out as advisors took
it out. Don't say that. Well, mister Garbiche, tear down
this wall. Yeah, iconic moment.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
It's the line we've been using in our promotion of
this event tonight. And I'm anxious to see in better
context this man who I just kind of watched growing up.
I also watched him get mocked mercilessly.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
They turned him into a doddering, forgetful old idiot in
his last day, ye, which I never even as a kid,
I never appreciated that.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
That part, that part is has not changed, And in fact,
it may have started ramping up big time with Ronald Reagan,
where the left has to take him down. Whoever the
Republican is. They have to be taken down, They have
to be ridiculed, mocked.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Well, I think that dismiss officios might say something that
maybe started a little.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Bit earlier than that.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Who would say Nixon fans, well, but he kind of
fraud It was different, Yeah, a little different, all right.
The other thing that you and Jim Rose have in common,
as while your quick take on this is a love
and a broadcast history with our Nebraska Cornhuskers. We got
Utah on Saturday to UH to start off this season,
what are your thoughts on the Big Red going into
(33:48):
the twenty twenty four campaign.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
I'm suns, which is the same as it's been ever since.
I Nebraska as well, you know, very optimistic that rule
gets it. And I think we've learned through the Steve Peterson,
Scott Frost, Trev Alberts ten years that it doesn't really
matter that you're from here. We used to think, Okay,
(34:12):
we got to get we got to get a Nebraska guy,
we gotta get it. Everybody wanted Steve Peterson, everybody wanted
Scott Frost, everybody wanted Trev Alberts, and Trev Alberts was
fine until he decided.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Still not sure what that was all about.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
That was just strange. But Matt Rule is like we
he embraces the traditions in Nebraska. He loves the Nebraska way.
He wants roots here.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Yeah, we had a little success doing that for a time.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Yes, Yeah, I think he's terrific. I look for a
very successful season. However, you want to measure that compared
to the last Many Bowl game? For sure? A lot
of people are saying, oh, we'll be seven, and oh
we'll be seven and oh going to Ohio State.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
So what's coming up on the radio tomorrow morning? It's
seven fifteen.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
A lot of well the season debut our official Husker
fan Richie and Papillion tomorrow morning. He texted me, or
day we I'm that we still on? Of course we're
still on.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
I'm graduated with the shot.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
How many years? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:11):
All right, fun, I can't wait to hear it. Five
point thirty to nine. Gary Sadelemeyer actually wows, Lucy.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Chat wonderful event here tonight. Can't wait for the movie.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
All right, I'll let you go in there and grab
your seat. That's Gary Sadlemayer. Kfab is Morning news here

twenty five minutes away from starting up the first of

kfab the film Reagan starring Dennis Quaid. Thanks again to

One of the co founders of this is right here
with us. Bill Williams of Patriotic Productions, Thanks so much
for coming and hanging out with us, helping us out tonight.
Speaker 8 (36:00):
Well, I'm so honored to be here, Scott. Thanks for
grabbing me to chat for a little bit.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
You've done honor flights with veterans of several foreign wars.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Here.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
You've got an incredible remembering the fallen Wall and display
that you put up here. We've talked a lot about patriotism.
Tell me your thoughts on President Reagan.
Speaker 8 (36:20):
Well, he was, he's held in such high esteem all
these years later, and as you know, in twenty eleven,
we brought in doctor ben Earin, the doctor who saved
a President Reagan after the assassination attempt, and I just
wanted to tell you, Scott, how wonderful that interview was
(36:41):
that you did with him. Great, great guy, just a
wonderful man. When he was here, we took him down
to the now closed forty and eight Club at seventieth
in Spring and had roast beef with a bunch of
World War two guys. And he's originally from Kansas City.
Just a regular fella. He was so gracious to everybody.
(37:01):
We just think a lot of him.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
So that was, yeah, fun to talk with the man
who was kind of really finishing up his day, been
up all night doing an emergency operation on someone, and
then they say, we're bringing in some victims from a
shooting over here, potentially involving the President of the United States.
And he looks in his room and there's Ronald Reagan there.
And I said, did it ever creep into your mind,
(37:24):
like if I don't save the President's life, I'm going
to be blamed for this the rest of my life.
He said, oh, yeah, I'm doing the surgery and I'm
thinking I can see a newspaper headline say, doctor lets
the president die. He admitted that in this conversation if
you miss my talk with doctor Aaron, it's on the
Vintage orhe's podcast link Scott Vorheas page at kfab dot com.
Speaker 3 (37:45):
I hope you go listen to it.
Speaker 8 (37:47):
So that was a wonderful question too. I was really
hanging on his thoughts on that.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
No, he was amazing.
Speaker 8 (37:53):
So he he's ninety two, but you would never know it.
Isn't that amazing?
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Never know it. I think he was thirty forty years younger.
Speaker 8 (38:00):
Now here's the interesting thing.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
His long time.
Speaker 8 (38:03):
He was married for what seventy years, His wife died.
He's now remarried and she's a jag at Fort Bliss
and al Paso, and so he says, I'm a house
husband now.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
And anyway, he's just a joy.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
We just got a few seconds to wrap up. What's
Patriotic Productions up to? Where can people learn more.
Speaker 8 (38:23):
Well Patriotic productions plural Patriotic Productions dot org. Our upcoming
event next, I guess, would be our Patriotic Parade number five,
which is May twenty fourth of Memorial Day weekend downtown Omaha,
which is about ten thousand.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
And I know we've got some more things cooked up
here yet this year, but that's for an announcement on
another day. Bill Williams, thank you so much for what
you and Yvonne and Patriotic Productions do.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
