Speaker 1 (00:23):
Good evening, everybody. I'm walking to another edition of No Limits.
And if this isn't special, then I don't know what
the word means, but I'm gonna tell you if this
is really really special entertainment tonight with Rachel Calvin and
take christ to colleagues from different waves I do business,
and they're two of the best. First of all, my
Wednesday Night colleague. Take them Christler, We've done a lot

(00:46):
of projects together. Glad you can be on this special broadcast.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Oh feels real good. And my hair looks even grayer.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
In this Like.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
And last, but not least, one of my favorite people
all the time. Hopefully, depending on how I feel, I
gotta get her to work on my second book with me,
providing that my memory doesn't go that bad as Rachel Galvin.
Rachel and I work with each other to deal for
your Beach Observer. She was the editor, she ran over
my stuff, and if she's one of the best people
out there, then find me somebody else. She has a
special place in my heart in so many different way.

(01:17):
Hoping everybody enjoys the special presentation of No Limits and
if it goes as well, everybody that's on YouTube and
all of our platforms will bring these two back because
there's a natural show. This is it. And I'm not
singing if by Kenny Loggins. I'm not doing that because
my singing is awful anyway. All right, Well that said,
we have a busy agenda tonight, but I'm gonna and

(01:39):
again I have a gunslinger approach, and I'm gonna tell
you I'm gonna lead off with it now. Dick Van
Dyke is two months away from hitting the one hundred
year mark and he joked about not making it. Let
me go over a quote that Dick Van Dyke went
out there and said, and here's the thing. Van Dyke

(01:59):
said that it's funny if he died before reaching the
centennial mark in a few months. During a recent charity
of event, the American comedy stalwart made a crack about
kicking the bucket before his one hundredth birthday on December
the thirteenth. Get this. A few years back, fellow icon
Betty White passed away at ninety nine years old just

(02:21):
before her one hundredth birthday. Yeah so get this. On
a Sunday, October fifth, Dick and his wife Arlen took
part in the Vandy High tea event at Bandy Manor
in Malibu, California. He said the event, which featured songs
and stories from Dick Arlean, the singing group Nick van Dyke,

(02:41):
and the Vanta Six, raised funds to benefit the Dick
the Van Dyke Endowment of the Arts and the Dick
van Dyke Museum, which is currently developed. He said. During
the event, dick fourth one hundredth birthday on December thirteenth
came up. That's right, I'm not officially hundred yet, they said,

(03:02):
two months, adding that'd be funny if I didn't make it,
And he also went on to say that if I
had known I was going to live this long, I
probably would have done a better job handling my diet.
Really seriously, really, I mean you're you're two months away
from hunt. Do you do a better job?

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Man? This guy's he's never been a fat day in
his life.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Go ahead, you're the one who started to go ahead
and continued Jacob.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
No, his Well, I can tell you why he's lived
this long and stuff like that. When your wife is
forty six years younger than you are, you know, I mean,
I really and by always the fantastics and it's basically
it's it's basically a barbershop quartet type group, so that
he does that with and and really by itself. She

(03:47):
Billy White missed it by seventeen days. That tells you something.
But one of the biggest deals that we see right
at this point of time is the fact that he's
still working. And the one thing about it is on
level about our she just totally loves it. This isn't
just like going after the money, going after everything. She's devoted,
I mean, he's she' they're devoted to each other. You

(04:09):
can just tell when they see this isn't like we're
gonna go to a sport reference. But this isn't Belichick
in that twenty year old or whatever, twenty four year
old and this isn't that that. I mean, these two
are devoted and it's fun for him, and it's good
for him for having the rest of his life like
that with somebody. And you know the greatest thing about
it is she'll when his time does come, she'll have

(04:31):
the great memories with him because they've been around long
enough to each other, she'll have that, She'll have all
of those and then she's still young enough. Once about
five ten years comes down the lang, which I think
that and she can do something else. But until then,
she'll grief unlike others. She'll grief properly when that time comes.
But she's gonna have wonderful memories, all.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Right, Rach.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah, I love Dick Van Dyke, and I think his
attitude is the reason why he's still alive. And having
a support around you is great, but also just having
a positive attitude. And I don't think i've ever seen
him frown. I know that he went through the fires
and they had to pull him back because he was
trying to fight the fire in La in the area

(05:14):
where he lives. And you know, God bless him. He's
still around in dancing and singing and it's just amazing.
He's a real inspiration. And I think I'm hoping he
makes it to one hundred.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Yeah, who would be that? Humor made this an easy ad?
And you think I can do a better jump on
my diet? I'm you got Betty wait in the conversation.
And let's not forget George Burns. I think did make
it to a hundred.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
He but this is better. This one's better than George
Burns because by the time George Burns hit one hundred.
He was having to sit in a seat and be
propped of being propped up by the puppet, and he
couldn't move anymore. That digman Knights has a cave, but
he's still dancing.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Well, you know what, We're going to go from one
age level to another, and this is as big as
differential as you can get. Mcaulay Colton considered buying a
Home Alone house just for giggles, turning it into a
movie fun house where people could re enact scenes from
the film like sledding down the stairs. I mean, think
about this guy bought that house and I don't know

(06:18):
what Home Alone episode you guys like me personally? I
liked the Home Alone two in New York, but that
first one was cool, but the one in New York
was unbelievable. So anyways, Jacob, we'll stay on point. What
are your thoughts about the fact they had an idea
of buying that house.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Oh, it would have been awesome. And the thing is
he could have if he would have had the right idea,
he could have had the top stairs, he could have
had the he could have had the top steps, just
like the Home Alone house. And then he could go
to the basement where the first part of a basement
could be the It could be those the washing machines

(06:54):
that he was worried about, you know, as a little
child like that, the little imagination, and the second part
could be like New York.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
You know.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
It's like if you can divide it, since it's a
big enough house, you can make it kind of like
a New York type deal. But yeah, and it's those
are the things that he could have done. But really
by itself though, it's it would get tough because you
would have to do AI and a lot of animals
and eletronic thing because I mean, Joe Pez she's gotten
old and he can't, so you it's like you'd have

(07:23):
to go get other actors and be able to do
the thing and stuff like that, like Joe pees, she
can't do those same little stunts anymore. But but would
it be the same with other actors.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
You can have the voiceover, you know, a voiceover pop
up and.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah like that.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
I actually know the guy that played Buzz in the original,
his brother, I know him, Devin Retray. He's a very
good I saw.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
You had some legal trouble a little while back.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
He's had some issues, but he's a good, great, really
good guy. He's in a lot of great film since then,
and he was in there. They had like a remake
or something that they did where he was the cop.
It was I don't remember what that was called, but
he just did that too. I don't know how long.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
That's where this is where they missed the I can
say this, this is where they missed the boat. On
things like this, sometimes you could have had I mean,
you could have had a cop no name had Buzz
on the on the badge.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Well he plays he. I think he grows up and
becomes a cop. I haven't seen that show yet. I
don't know what he does, but it's for that one.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
You could have put Buzz just no one sees it coming.
It's just kind of a little reference. I was thinking.
But it's his name's Buzz, But you don't reference the original.
That's what I was thinking, you know, just just get people's.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Hit, okay, like a little easter egg. Yeah, and I
just found out today that my coworker evidently his uncle
is the guy that is on the TV with the
machine gun.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
I was like, oh, like health the animals that line, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah,
so I just found that out today. That's my relation
to mcaulay Culkin and home alone.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Cool.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
I believe that's the sixth degree to Kevin Bacon moment.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Yeah, I have a lot of those.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yeah, when I saw this, this is a natural to
put up there for sure. So let's talk about Stephen
Colbert The Late Show with Stephen Colbert going to and
next year, Jacob, your thoughts.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
I had a lot of thoughts when I saw that,
because I usually I can say this, Rachel. I usually
don't read the I usually don't read the topics going
to talk about anything, but I will saw that and
a lot of the things with Colbert, he's Colbert. Yeah,
then he just likes to descend. That's that's part of
the gimmick. But a lot of the things is I
look back to we're gonna I did see on the
topics We're going to Johnny Carson later. So it's kind

(09:49):
of a bad deal. But here's the thing. What happened
with late night TV? And I'm saying this part is
I look this part. I remember these over the years.
Johnny Carson was from the Brass gug and David Leman
from Indiana, Tom Snyder from Wisconsin. And then you go
on in the first and you go on to a
few others. And the first one that came from the

(10:10):
East coast was Leto when he was Massachusetts, more of
the blue collar Boston kind of you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
But now I.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Look at these three right now, New York, New York, Washington,
d C. Yeah, Beltway and two New Yorkers. None of them. See,
when you're from Nebraska and you're from the Wisconsin, you're
from Indiana, regardless of what side of the political philosophy
you are, you have an idea of Like they had

(10:39):
a documentary of Johnny Carson going back home for Christmas,
Andy two. It's like, and he just looked at home
on a football field and you know, just in Nebraska.
And it's like, you can't see Colbert going to Nebraska
and being at home. I think where a lot of
this nastiness happens, regardless of where our philosophies are, is

(11:00):
a lot of these people, a lot of these people
from New York, New York and d C don't have
an understanding of the world. Of that world.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
It's just Middle America.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah, just American by itself and all three of them
knew that, and all three of knew that, and Leno
knew it by traveling the country, and then the other
ones did. It's like, but when you see this, you
don't have that understanding. It's a U kind of stay
in a bubble. And that's I think we have a
lot of nastiness based off that regards the philosophy.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Mm hmm, definitely.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
I am.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
You know, I'm sad to see anybody get canceled and
you know, their show's gone, and the whole political thing
with that. I was glad he got a standing ovation,
I guess at the Emmys for you know, that was
kind of heartfelt. But I never really watched his show.
I've seen a little bit, but it just wasn't for me.
I'm not a Stephen Colbert guy. I'm not a political person.

(11:54):
I don't like watching anything political. So I even at
the Observer, I farm that off to Diane, let her
do all the commission meetings. I never wanted to touch it.
So I don't have a whole lot to say about
Stephen Colbert as far as we're gonna talk about Johnny
Carson later, but I wanted to mention Jay Leno. I
used to see him all the time, almost daily in

(12:17):
la I was in a play in Pasadena and I's driving,
I'd see him driving the other way in one of
his old cars and I'd wave.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
And j would be the type of way back. I
mean that was oh yeah, yeah, and he would be
the type of way back. And it's like, that's what
I'm bringing up with all this, Like we don't even
have to I'm glad we didn't have to make it political.
I'm very glad of that when I was seeing this,
you know, I am glad of this. But that's all
I'm trying to bring with this is like like, for instance,
Johnny Carson made fun of nine presidents nine he had

(12:48):
nineteen sixty two, ninety two, eight or nine, you know,
eight or nine excuse me, he made and the Leno
made fun of four, including this current one, you know
what I mean, and his time he made fun. They
made fun, but it's I mean, it's kind of like
a roast. The way they did it was just kind
of like a roast, you know, you have a little fun,
you kind of talk trash to each other, and no,

(13:12):
no it's not. And it's like the thing that I
have a feeling of is the fact that I think
it needs the comedy needs to come back to that
where Okay, you can give it back to me and
I'll give a d a little trash talk to each other. Yeah,
we love each other nonetheless, and we got to get
you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
Yeah, that's what I really hate. You know, all the
movies in like the seventies and eighties, some of the
stuff that was shown in the movies. You can't get
away with that anymore, you know.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
I became go ahead and finish it. I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
Yeah, just comedy. It's not just a joke anymore. Everything's political. Everything,
everybody gets offended. It's just not good.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
I'll say this, Rachel, and this is the way I
say it. I've written before. I've written like nine ten scripts,
you know, and everything, and I say this all the time.
Who cares about what you can quote unquote get away with?
Anybody can write a lot of people are afraid to.
It's just gonna take one producer with a film company

(14:12):
to just say, okay, let's let's green light it and
go through the absolute rigum the role and the insanity
that it's gonna take. But you know how long it's
gonna last about three days because they're gonna find out
that no one's the one that's there is not going
to care, and they're gonna find a victim that will

(14:33):
and then they will attack that. Yeah, and they will
just last year and then once you get through that,
there'll be more and more and they'll just be the
regular haters. But it's like there's people that are afraid to
even go through those three days. Yeah, So I think
I think you can get away with I absolutely believe
anybody can get away with the jokes if we tried
it again. But they have to be they have to

(14:54):
be willing to get through three days of craziness.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Yeah, you know you talked about talking about Johnny Carson
gets what we're gonna do it now Johnny Carson, Tome
and Malibu hit the market for one hundred and ten
million bucks called Point Zoom four personals, over four acres
with cliffside saltwater pool, a coy pond, screening room, tennis court.

(15:21):
Also you have garage guest pavilions. It was actually acquired
by Carson in the mid nineteen eighties or nine point
five million. You talk about return on an investment or
what rage? We both know you being an LA girl,
you know, And let me say one thing about Johnny
Carson before a turnover to you guys. Okay, in nineteen
eighty four, I had a friend of mine in Miami

(15:42):
that ended up getting a job in LA as a
sportscaster on the weekend and a reporter. He took me
into that Johnny Carson studio was unbelievable. I wish I
would have the ability to go ahead and take it there,
but he actually works with a weekend anchor RANBC out in LA.
And when I saw that studio was pretty cool to
be able to see Johnny Carson since late night. So
with that said, you know, Johnny's done what he had

(16:03):
to do with the ear and that's one hundred and
ten million dollars. Yes, So would you guys, if you
had that kind of money, would you ever invest in
that kind of a place out there? Not me. I
can do a lot with one hundred ten million, bug,
But well it's on the.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Goodhead, it's on the beach, So yeah, I'd love to.
But you're gonna have to deal with the storms. You're
gonna deal with all that. That's only the only thing
about it is the fact that it needed to be
renovated to a proper to the modern world. It just
would have to. And it's like, no, he's been gone
since five so there's no question that it needs to

(16:35):
be modernized. But the thing about it is there's there's
offices because one of the things is he dealt with
two writer strikes. So he used to have an office
where he just did all the writing for the shows, right,
so you know, just had and he didn't even have
like a desk, He just had a table and a
coffee table, and he just wrote, wrote his jokes, looked
at the papers, all that stuff. And it's like, I

(16:56):
think that and if nothing else, you could be able
to You could be able to turn into a museum
itself if someone wanted to, but another house, I wouldn't mind,
but it would have to really be modernized. As Jackie
Gleason's that's on the market too.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Well, that's interesting.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
Well, I was gonna say when Johnny Carson died, I
was writing for the Forum newspaper back then, among many others,
and I contacted the publisher and I said, he just died.
Can I in the relation between that and the forum
is because he came to Caral Springs here in Florida

(17:34):
and was the kind of MC for the land sale
back in the day to get people to purchase land
in Caral Springs when it first started. And I knew
that tidbit. So I contacted the publisher and said, hey,
can I write about him? And he said absolutely, So
I wrote. I think it was front page about Johnny
Carson passed away and the history of him coming here

(17:54):
to Florida when there was nothing out here. And you
see all the I have pictures. I've seen pictures of
all the cars, you know, pulling up for the land sale.
That's pretty interesting. But I you know, I used to
watch Johnny Carson, but I don't remember it very well.
As a kid, it wasn't didn't thrill me, you know,
I was a kid, but something that I should probably

(18:16):
go back and watch. But I really liked Jay Leno
a lot better. I was really happier with Jay Leno.
As time has gone on, I can see a lot
of flaws with Jay Leno. But like I said at
the time, Johnny Carson, I liked his interviews with people,
and I more concentrated on the guests that were there

(18:37):
than his shtick. I don't know if I appreciated his
stick that much back then. I like the animals that
came on. I liked his carnack. I like Howard Stern
does something similar. I don't if you've ever watched Howard Johnny.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
I'm forty seven, So I saw Johnny, you know what
I mean, and a lot of john The thing is,
I say this between Johnny and Jay. Johnny was not
a stamp comic. He was a storyteller. So his jokes,
if he did the punchline jokes, he's stuck. That's just
the way it was. He was not good. He just

(19:17):
did it to get people watching at night. They were that.
I mean, he had a few jokes here and there.
Letto was amazing with jokes. He was amazing with those.
But the storytelling with people the topative. That's where my
strength is. I'm great with conversations. So I Johnny was
amazing with that. Jay, Oh really, I love your movie.

(19:42):
Yeah that's basically Jay, you know. And I like Jay
and I like him a lot. But I mean, that's
just the way the that's just the way they go.
That's just the way they were. But here's the deal. Also,
a lot of a lot of Carson was the seventies
and it's boring. The seventy the seventies style was so boring.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
It's just like, I remember when Burt Reynolds was.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
On Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was so I saw, I'll
give you a Burt Reynolds deal. I saw a pilot
of the Orson Wells talk show. He hadn't talked to
you trying again, and it had Burt Reynolds on there.
And I am not kidding you. Burt Reynolds almost felt

(20:27):
a feat effeminate in a way, you know, like he
wasn't the same macho yeah like And it's like, which,
here's the thing. Orson Wells wasn't never that way either.
But it's like, you have to wonder when you saw
something like that, and it's even if it wasn't on
the air, when you saw something like that, was that
really Bert or was Bert doing that to make Orson happy?

(20:49):
And it's like, said, yeah, I'll send you a clip
of that thing sometimes because it's very interesting to watch.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
I was honored to I interviewed Bert Quickly twice and
one of the times was his last film that he did,
and it was it was so depressing. The movie was
basically about his life, and it was very tragic. It
was about like a washed up actor, and it went
back and forth about you know, clips from his life,

(21:16):
and it was a you know, a character, but it
was basically his life and it was very sad to watch,
and just he wasn't a good shape and it was
just very sad.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
You want to know what happened, you know, I mean,
you know what happens with a lot of actors, especially
when they've made it. He'd been he'd been big since
like fifty nine in some way he started he started
on gun Smoke and fifty seven, so he'd been big

(21:49):
on different things for a long darn time. And what
happens when you're in that world for so long? And
you were in Hollywood for a little bit. How long
were you there?

Speaker 3 (21:58):
Three years?

Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah, it's like you were there for a bit. The
one thing I've noticed, it's the same as like Will Smith,
and the same with so many other people. Everybody tells
him what to do, the agent's managers, all that stuff
like that. It looks like the dream world that everybody's
telling you how to think and what to do. That's right,
which is which is why I wonder about that or when,
And I'll send you a clip sometime of that. By
the way, the thing I mean, because this whole show

(22:20):
that one pilot's on there never made it, so but
I was like, it makes me wonder if Bert was
just that, but they wouldn't let him be himself.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Yeah. You know, I was just in a movie that
I was watching the dailies and I was like, oh god,
I overacted in this. But the director's like, no, that's
exactly You're great, You're fantastic. That's exactly what I wanted.
And you know, he was pushing me to do it
a certain way and it wasn't the way that I
would have done it. But you know, you often have
to follow what the director wants, so it's not always

(22:53):
up to the act. Most of the time it's not
up to the actor. It's really what the director wants
or want an actor. Yeah, I mean, I mean, hopefully
it's a collaboration, but the director has a vision of
what they want and whether they give you, like one
little hint of I want it this way, or whether
they're more hands on. And that's something I always ask directors,

(23:16):
are you more like lass a fair or very hands on,
but like you know, Clint Eastwood just lets you do
your thing, for example, a lot of other directors really
shape what they want you to do. Most people I've
dealt with have said a few words of what they want.
But yeah, you just you never know.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Remember Jack Lemon, of course, yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
I actually saw Jack Lemon on the set. I forgot
what I was on the exactly.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
No, Jack Lemon. And I've actually watched a couple of
interviews with Chris Lemon. You know, he talked, he does,
he had a tw he has a one man show
called Twisted Lemon and the book. And one of the
things that they told the story it was on one
was it Days of Wayne Roses where it was the
one the director he kept saying, and this is when

(24:08):
he's early in his career. So he's saying he never
questioned the director. They kept saying, Oh, you do it
this way, do this way. Director was going, now do
it this? Could you do it just a little less?
Little less? Finally, first time ever, Jack Lemon goes It's like,
what do you do? You want me to not act?
Thank you? Thank you, thank you, No, you got it,

(24:30):
thank you and it's like they just want you to
be in the moment, just like that, and some like
you were just talking about, with directors, they want you
to be they want you to perform, you know, and
they want you to be on camera. It just depends
on the situation.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
Right, It depends on the director and each person is different,
so you never know what you're going to get to
be adaptable, yep.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
So let me throw a little nugget in there about
for Reynolds. Obviously, everybody knows that he went to Florida
State University and played football over there. But I remember
this myself. Back in the old United States Football League
back in the eighties, they had a team called the
Tampa Bay Bandits. How about that Burt Reynolds Tampa and

(25:13):
they called it Bandit Ball. So there you go.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Owned the team by a chance or not.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Actually I think he was part owner of it. Yeah,
I think he had a big role in it. So
with that said, I'm going to transition over to our
only football topic of the night. Don't worry, Rachel, It's
not over your head because after all, how many times
did I write Super Bowl stories of the Deerfield Beach Observer?
Often enough? Right, that's true. All right, So we're gonna
tag along over to Carrie Underwood was actually in her
thirteenth year of doing Sunday Night football for the NFL

(25:41):
and NBC. So here's the thing, Rachel, what do you
think about Carrie Underwood.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
I'm confused.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Carrie Underwood the singer.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
Okay, okay, but you're talking about football, and I'm like,
wait a minute.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Did the She's done the NFL, the NBC the theme
but for the last thirteen years.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
I didn't know that. Okay.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Well that's why I throw this stuff at you.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
Okay, I don't know you know too much about Kerrie Underwood.
I like her song about cheating taking the baseball bat,
you know, I always I like that song. I'm not
a big I like old school country music. I don't
like the new stuff like I was a huge fan
of Loretta Lynn, Patsy Kline, Willie Nelson. And it's kind

(26:33):
of funny because as a writer I used to work
for City Smart magazine at the time, and I kind
of announced to the universe I want to be on
a media trip, like a press trip, and the next
day I get an email saying, we have a press
trip for you. Like out of the blue, like it
was meant to be. So it was like, I better go.
I wonder where it is. It was Nashville, and I'm like,

(26:56):
why Nashville of all places? Oh my god. But I
was like, I have to go because the universe has
given me this opportunity. I had the best time. It
was amazing. I got to go to the Grand Old
Opry stage and stand in the sacred circle in the
middle where all the people have stood and I cried.
It was great. And I got to go to the

(27:18):
Rhyman Auditorium and the Grand Old Opry.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
I got to see as well with Lee Green Greenwood
when sings this all the time, and I cried during that.
So it was a great trip. But I don't cry
a lot actually, and in fact, when I'm acting it's
hard to cry for some reason. But but yeah, that

(27:45):
trip was really amazing. And so that's not what I know.
I know the old school stuff for acting. I don't
know the new stuff. So I don't really know much.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
But with all due respect, carry Unger was she does
have an unbelievable voice.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
Yeah, she's a good singer.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah that's my NBC likes her. That's why they brought
her in there to do that thing. Thirteen years not
too bad just to go out there and introduce the show,
just in frime time on the way. But again that's
the only football reference. They have a lot of other
things going there. But you know, when we're talking entertainment,
you go out there, right, Jacob with the multi.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
Think about Kerrie Underwood is the fact that, I mean, truthfully,
you got to ask would she have made it without
American Idol? And I'm like, American Isle just kind of
made it. And I'm not a huge American idol, but
there's that. But and you're bringing up country. I like
George Strait. I was a Toby Keith fan before he passed,
you know what I mean. I like. I mean, I

(28:38):
you know, I like, I like the country. Even though
I'm from Quincy, Illinois. I'm from I'm a small town guy.
I like the country, southern twang type. Not necessarily Hank
Williams senior team and none of that, none of that,
but I kind of I kind of would when I

(28:58):
hear country. When I George straitlan Era to me, it's life,
you know what I mean, It's it's kind of like
just everyday life and a small town. And I'm from
a small town.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
Well, I'm from a small town too. I'm from Colorado
and Quincy, Illinois. Okay, I lived in Brush, Colorado. It
was population four thousand when we moved there, and it
became four thousand and four when we drove in. And
I was born in Boulder, which is a little bigger

(29:28):
hippie town, and then went to Brush and Brush is
nothing but cowboys. So I grew up with that kind
of music because my parents used to listen to it
and Paul Harvey good Day. You know.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
Oh, no, you want to know what the significance of
the of the number four thousand and four is, don't you?

Speaker 3 (29:49):
No?

Speaker 2 (29:49):
You ever seen the movie Inherit the Wind.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
Inherit the Wind. I know that.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
I'm trying to think of what that movie that was
with that was with Spencer Tracy and Frederick March way
back when, well, Frederick Marsh played Matthew Harrison Brady. He
was the He was the overly heavily heavily Christian dude.
You know they Okay, answer who was running out? Well
he he was saying that they'd be one. I mean,

(30:15):
here comes here, here comes Drummond saying to him that
this rock is millions of years old. Here comes Brady
says that he's that's wrong again because they said that
rock is no more than four thousand and four. He
was made a four thousand and four BC at nine am. Wow,
So the word so I could remember those little things
like that.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
Oh that's funny, okay, yeah. But in Brush there was
absolutely nothing to do. Was all cornfields, and we were
very backwards, like our clothing and everything was always you know,
back you know before everybody else. We're still stuck years earlier.
And uh, the only thing to do was go get
your cow washed. They actually had a cow wash. They

(30:56):
had the rodeo was the big thing, and they had
the state fair. That was all there was to do
in Brush.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Mina is about forty thousand people. Quincy, but it's it's
more stagnant now than it used to be. But it's
probably about stagnant Brush. But just make sure you don't
have a firing brush.

Speaker 3 (31:15):
There's less people there now. I can't believe it, but
it's really abandoned.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
Like they used to. So everything just runs, you know.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
Yeah. Yeah, And like I said, Boulder was a little
bit bigger, and I ended up going back to Broomfield,
which was near Boulder, and then went back to school
at College and Boulder. See you Boulder, Yeah, the Buffalo's
I got Buffaloes. Yeah, football games too.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
All right, thanks you break tann can't handling.

So go check out the episode of No Limits last night.

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Otherwise, back to the program.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Scott off a really good start. Jacob meets Rachel. My goodness,
this seems like a movie that I've been looking to
make for a while and I made it here here, movies,
you gotta we gotta have better writing.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
Please please, it's.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
A good movie here. I know. It's something I'm a
little different to doing putting these shows. I like coming
up there and using a gunslagger mentality to bring on
two people that would never meet each other. There like
it right there you go. And that's a beautiful thing
about new media. You can bring people all over the place,
but I'm to show together and all of a sudden
they make friends for life. Okay, obviously, one person that

(34:05):
made a friend at least for a while until it
got expensive. As a lady by the Way of No
Cole Kidman reportedly paid her husband six hundred thousand a
year to stay sober off drugs. She met country singer
Keith Urban Okay then two thousand and five before their wedding,
the couple signed a contract and if Urban stayed clean

(34:26):
for a full year, no booze, no cocaine, he'd get
the payout. Right after they tied the knot, Kidman sent
him to rehab. Now they're heading for divorce, reports suggesting
Urban may have earned eleven million over a nineteen year
from staying sober. Not a bad deal if you could
get it out, Rachel.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
I guess so, Yeah, I thought that they were stay together.
I was surprised.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
Yeah, eleven million bucks, my god.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Yeah. I don't know much about this Hollywood, all these relationships,
but when I see interesting things like this, I have
to put them out there because I have to live
up to the show entertainment Tonight when Rachel Gallvin and
Jacob Christner, these are the two stars of the show.
All I'm doing here as just being the quarterback and
make sure the playmaker throws it passes to all the
right people. I got to them here anything.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
The first stringer, not the third stringer.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Oh not all these injuries. Were any other thoughts about
this one, Rachel, No, I think.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
Nicole Kidman's a great actress. I was thinking today that
she's she's not super memorable, Like she just doesn't stand
out as an actress. She's a good but she's not
one of those actors that's over the top great. And
I was just you know, I thought about that today,

(35:45):
and she's been in a lot of good movies, but
nothing that really stands out to me just thinking about
her career. I know she was in Being the Ricardo's
and I was not impressed at all with her as
Lucille Ball, for instance. I thought that Deborah Messing that
have gotten that role.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
You know what happened with Deborah Messy. I absolutely believe
she had three straight she had three straight shows where
she was the gay the gay guy's best friend.

Speaker 3 (36:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
I think she just got absolutely clobbered into that thought
process and they wouldn't have he read of the Lucy
and she would have met a great Lucy by the way. Yeah,
but let me tell you this about that. When I
heard about great Keith Urban and all that. You know.
I had to roll my eyes a little bit there.
I look at it this way. These have never I've
never had a ring on these and never been married. Yeah,
I've never been married. It's like I would love to

(36:34):
be I would love you heaven, but she's got to
be right. But I say that, but I say this part.
It's not a marriage. It's business. If they're paying you
to stay sober, you you gotta love. You gotta want
to love her to stop and do all that kind
of stuff. I mean, you gotta you gotta want to sacrifice.
That wasn't That wasn't a marriage. It was just more money.
And that was like I always called Hollywood about some lunatics,

(36:59):
a bunch of lunatics, because every which way you get
some kind of lunatic mindset. And it's like, if you're
paying them at eleven million dollars to stay married, it's
a business contract. It's like, how much did they really
even love each other? You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (37:14):
Yeah, I didn't know about any of that. I didn't
know about the contract.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
By just hearing that, now, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (37:22):
I thought they love each other and everything else. I
didn't know about the business contract, but now it puts
a whole new light on the situation.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Well, well, remember, Rachel, I work with you at The
Observer and we both know what the word journalism is, right, Yeah,
do you think I use that word journalism tonight with.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
This this is Well, there's always a lot of spin
on things, and.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Well, yeah, journalism, dig the information. But yes, Rachel, you
are one hundred percent right, my partner. Okay, there is
a lot of spin and what that said, we're going
to spin over to the next one. James Cameron says
he budget movies, the big budget movies, will be able
to be made entirely with AI in five to ten years.
He also predicts that the big budget movies will be

(38:10):
able to be made with AI and not involve any artists. Well,
you've got to people in the movie industry again, AI
five to ten years. I don't know if that makes
you feel any good, Rachel, But James Cameron had some
advice and I'm trying to give you some word of wisdom.
I think.

Speaker 3 (38:28):
It's already out there, it's already happening. People are already
like that. I forgot the name of the girl that
was a AI girl, that AI actress that everybody's up
in arms about. It's already happening. Sora too came out
I think yesterday. I don't know if you're familiar with
that new AI, the new version of Sora, And you

(38:48):
can put your face and your voice and put yourself
in any situation and it looks like just like this,
like you're just talking normal. It's the scariest thing it
could be. But I think it's very scary. And they're like, oh,
this cameo that you do is only for you and
your friends. Like you can bring your friends in if
they want to be involved, you can opt in. And

(39:09):
I'm thinking, who can hack into that and steal your voice,
steal your face and do whatever they want with it.
So there's that aspect. But then also as an actor,
it's devastating. The AI is devastating. It's great for directors,
you know, you can imagine you can have a whole
cast of AI extras. You don't have to hire extras,

(39:32):
for example, or you can put people in the leading
roles whatever you want to do, and they can have
any emotion that you want them to have. I hope
that they're going to put some controls on it, really
really fast. It needs to happen because otherwise we're out
of business.

Speaker 2 (39:50):
Yeah, let me think I'll say this, we're out of
business if we go based off of that. You're correct.
It's because I've told friends of mine this. I'm to
quite a few of them, and I've said this part.
I absolutely believe there is going to be about a
ten to fifteen year war between AI and regular movies

(40:14):
where you're going to have a set of fans who
do want nothing but AI. And you've got to realize
that these are the same type of like teenagers or
young men and women and all of that, who do
not know how to talk to anybody for real. So
the AI the bots will be wonderful for them. They
could have their imagination do whatever. You'll have that set,

(40:35):
but then there's gonna be another set. Those are the
ones that are the old souls, those are the ones
of our age. It's a little bit older who remember
the real movies, who want to keep seeing it. So
you have this is the thing. You have a John
Schneider who has his own movie studio in Louisiana. You
have the Tyler Perry's in Georgia, you have. I mean,

(40:58):
I can. There's quite a few around the country. Heck,
you can make it in Quincy, Illinois. They have a
film festival in Quincy, Illinois for the past five years.
So there are people that are just the actors and
actresses and everything like that. They're gonna have independent works
where it's going to end. Truthfully, it's going to be

(41:20):
the big the big budget studios. That's over for actors.
That part, you're correct on that or what they miss
it's the idea of the fly over state mentality. They
missed the idea because it's the automatic thought process of
saying it's over done. Die, you know what I mean.
It's like, well, there's the other forty eight what about

(41:42):
the other forty eight states? They don't count, you know,
It's well, other forty eight states can make their own
movies and they can be able to do their own stuff.
And if they want to create their own AI they
can do it. But if they want to be actors,
they can do it. I think actors are going to
get a new life with independent film and here they're
going to have that. And guess what we have YouTube.

(42:03):
We have all of these streaming networks that you'll get
a certain pay for it. So the idea of Hollywood
is over. But we don't need it anymore.

Speaker 3 (42:12):
Well, Hollywood's been kind of over. I have friends out
there that are like, there's no work. That's why you
see these big actors doing commercials, like Matthew McConaughey, for example,
doing a commercial. It's because there's no work.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
Oh, everything's in Atlanta or Louisiana or Unfortunately it's not
a lot here in Florida. We just don't have the
film and centers for it. But a lot of things
are going to Europe, like the I think the game
show The Floor is in Dublin now.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
It is because it is because it's too expensive being
in California.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Yeah, yeah, Ireland, Canada, you know, they're all overseas. It's
it's crazy. It's a shame.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
Well, even Rachel and I joked about this when we
did this before. It's even the Playboy Mansion has moving
forward to Miami. So the Playboy and why not I
mean that will on Jacob. Okay, I'm saying with my
voice on here because I'm enjoying watching you two. But yeah,
even Rachel and I we talked about Playboy moving to Miami.
So if you're going to get Playboy to move to Miami,

(43:11):
something doesn't seem like Hollywood. And by the way, at
least Rachel and I could say if I want to
go to Hollywood. We will always say that because we
have Hollywood, Florida, right, Rach, that's right.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
The Hollywood Florida's joke. By the way, I'll make up
on sports exchanges because that's what I call Hollywood brown.
It's Hollywood Florida. It's the fake Hollywood say.

Speaker 1 (43:31):
I like Hollywood Florida. Don't kid yourself, Rachel and I.
I used to live on in Hollywood floor. I like
that boardwalk, Rach. We got to get down there sometimes
so we can plan out strategy for my next book.
I have a feeling I haven't with my Alzheimer's. I
may need your help more than I even want to
realize it. So and I'm this is seriousness is choking around.
I'll have to give you an idea and we'll have
to I may need you to co author us. I'm okay, okay, Rach, Okay,

(43:54):
we'll work it out. Yeah, I know. I'm working on
the outline, probably later on after the first of the years.
So it's I have herround here, Kenndy. I had my
back and so does Rachel, and that's the best thing
about having somebody like her around who knows all my
quick crazy quirts and all that. But keep things in
perspective what we're doing. But but no Rachel, you know,
but this playboy thing here takes on a new meeting

(44:16):
and it kind of ties up to what you guys
are talking about and the fact that everything is leaving
hell of I don't know. I like going there just
to go ahead and do the tourism stuff. Other than that,
I'm more than happy being in Florida with no state
income tact.

Speaker 3 (44:27):
That's sure right right absolutely.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
To bring real I was bringing up with the movies
thing real fast. It's like, I absolutely believe when we
hear it on Hollywood Reporter, on Variety, on all of
those and all of them do nothing but bring up
the AI thing and make people scare and do all
that stuff. Yeah, as absolutely a two state mindset, California
and New York. The thing is Broadway will always be Broadway,

(44:55):
you know what I mean. Broadway probably will always be Broadway.
There always be actors there, but it's such a state
mindset of well what do we which one do we take?
Which one do we do? It's like and do we
do AI? Whether they forget the other? Forty eight can
make them. Now everybody can get their own camera, they
can do it on the phone, right, they can do
all those They forget those things because they don't understand

(45:16):
that World's why I brought up with the talk shows earlier.
They don't have an understanding of that kind of world.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
Yeah. Yeah, the equity is going on strike evidently one
of my co workers, That's what I said. She's like, no,
they haven't gone for a while. And I'm like, really,
but I don't know the history of as for equity. Yeah, yeah,
I'm not. I was actually in Pasadena. That play I

(45:43):
did was an equity play, but I was non equity.
It was the Pasadena Playhouse. I don't know if you're
familiar with it now, our nice Bridge.

Speaker 4 (45:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
So I was thrilled to be in Sarah on de Bergerac. Yeah,
but I played two parts. I was a nun and
a wench.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
So so you've punished yourself, that's right, But no, that's
the thing. Broadly always be Broadway. But it's like there's
I am not one bit worried about the physical actors.
I'm not anymore. I'm not whatsoever, never have been is
because of being from what's school Lee University of Tennessee.

(46:23):
It's Cleveland, Tennessee. You know what I mean. I mean,
I had that world and I went from Quincy, Illinois.
I've been in these small town worlds. I see that
everybody's trying to make something. There's gonna be so many counties,
so many states, so many cities, so many all that
stuff that will make physical movies with physical actors. They
just we will see that in Hollywood Reporter as the

(46:46):
revival of real movies in about three five years because
they're getting used to the AI. But they're not going
to see it coming because AI is the story, now right.

Speaker 3 (46:57):
That's true?

Speaker 1 (46:58):
All right, So let's track over to Disney, which lost
three point eighty seven billion dollars overnight following that Jimmy
Kimmel drama controversy shook the investor confidence. Well, we all
knew that. The Jimmy Kimmel saying there's a lot of
layers to it. I just wanted to touch on tonight
the financial ramifications of this Rachel, because we all know
that Jimmy Kimmel got back on the ear. I think

(47:20):
everybody knew that it was going to hit him in
the pocket where they had to reconsider this. What are
your thoughts of this whole controversy.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
Rach, Again, I was upset that he was canceled. I'm
really glad he's back, and I did watch his show
coming back again. I didn't really watch the Jimmy Kimmel show.
I'm a Jimmy Fallon person, but I even him. I
think he's kind of silly, but he kind of goes
along that Jay Leno bent a little bit of the silliness.

(47:48):
But I would love to meet Jimmy Fallon one day.
But yeah, the only thing with Jimmy Kimmel, I'm a
big Howard Stern fan, so he's Howard Stern's best friend,
so I know him from that. But I didn't really
watch the show. I kind of found the show boring.
But I did watch his opener when he came back,
and I thought he did a great job. It was

(48:08):
very heartfelt. And yeah, I'm glad he's back, and I
think Disney made the right decision bringing him back, and
I think it was all political, you know.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
Thacab Stern irritates me because it's like the it's kind
of like the song we Didn't Start the Fire, and
it's like it's all anti establishment. Became establishment. He became establishment,
and so here I liked this Stern when he was
when he was bashing against the establishment, that he became it.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
But yeah, true, I like I like him now because
his interviews are amazing.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
He's the best I've always been. He had the best
nine to eleven coverage during the whole thing. I didn't
get that, you.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
Know all he still has a lot of antics that
go on that are are fun. Some of them are gross.
I have to turn it off. But you know, he's
not doing a lot of the sex stuff as much
that he used to do. He saw it does some,
but it's more a lot more the interviews that I
love to watch or listen to not watch.

Speaker 2 (49:16):
Well, it's a great conversationalist I respect.

Speaker 3 (49:19):
Yeah, and I know all the characters now, so it's
funny when he talks about Baba Booie and all the
different characters High Pitch Eric who's now regular pitch Eric.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
Now I think about Kimble. It reminded me you ever
seen a show on turash Yes, third episode, first season
he was on Vince's own there, and it reminded me
that Kimble once was just a even though it's a
fictional version of that thing they put him on that show,

(49:53):
Kimball was once just a more laid backed version of Manchut.
There's just a little fun, just a little fun and
of skits and it was everything. It's like, it makes
me wonder, just like I was bringing up with burn rounds,
I was bringing up with all that kind of stuff
like that. Is Kimmel doing this because he's told to

(50:14):
be hateful like this and be able to do out
stuff to irritate and cause problems, which is not helping?
Or is he genuine? How many of them are really genuine?
And I mean I would rather kim Well have a
whole episode don't bring Trump up, Yes, don't bring it up,

(50:36):
and it would be an experiment, and it would be
an experiment. And it's like or if you do, it's
one of those little like the funny type little jokes,
like a little like something you can kind of smirt whatever,
but try that, see if you can have a conversation
without saying anything. See if you can have to skit
without it, and in truth, one of two things is

(50:57):
gonna happen. Either they're not gonna have a show at all,
or the show's gonna get better.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
Yeah, you know, yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
It's And the thing is how afraid are they to try?
And it's like because they might not they might have
ten minutes of material otherwise, and it's like how much
can you do?

Speaker 3 (51:15):
That's the thing with you know, the episode that got
him in trouble. I watched that too, and I didn't
think it was that bad what he did, But it
also wasn't funny at all. You know, It's like, why
why say anything that's going to be controversial if you're
you're supposed to be funny in the moment, it wasn't funny.
You know, there's no reason for it.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
Well, one of the things that we're one of the
things that's got missing with everything, and this is what happened.
I brought up the to New York's and the DC
I brought this part up is it's not even okay,
let's just forget him for a second. I mean, DT
DJT I was forgetting for a second. You're talking about
people that voted, which means they're just everyday regular schmos

(51:59):
who or who want something to escape and see. And
you're remember used to have fifty million people watch Johnny
because there was only three channels, right, So what I mean,
what you're having now is you now you need to
be able to split these worlds and be able to
down and be able to get people's attention. Why would

(52:20):
you mess with people from Nebraska knowing that they don't
like you already? Why would you mess with people from
Kansas now they don't like you already? Why would you
from Georgia all that? Why would you mess with them?
Why wouldn't you try to get there to win them over,
especially when the other two aren't. That's all I'm bringing up.

(52:41):
It's like you can be number one by just winning
them over along with New York and La get the
whole country. But a lot of them are. Is it
the producers telling them what to think, the agents telling
them what to think, or is it their own thought process?
And that's what makes me wonder.

Speaker 3 (52:59):
Right, And actually, in that episode when he came back,
I should actually say he started out doing really well.
He started out being genuine, and then it became too
much bashing Donald Trump again, so those are too far.

Speaker 2 (53:15):
Well, it's like that's why I was saying, I would
love to be able to have I mean, hypothetically, I
drove to La tomorrow, hypothetical. I would love to be
able to say, hey, let's have lunch, and I would
love to say to him, let's have an experiment, make
a couple of small jokes about his It's like whatever, yeah,
he's yeah, the guy is a nine year old child

(53:37):
inside of a seventy year old seventy nine year old man.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
Body.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
You know what I mean, We know that. Well, we
can say those things, say those things. Don't be too
mean spirited, just say things that make everybody laugh. And
then not one skin, not one a thing, don't bring
it up in an interview, write it down and see
how much do you have? How much material? And if
you have like ten minutes, you're dead. You're dead because

(54:01):
you're just going to be filling in. And that's what
I'm bringing up. Or you might have a full show
and oh, all of a sudden, we got our ratings back.
But ken you help yourself.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
Yeah yeah, right, will just move on to a different
topic altogether, much different. But you had to bring up
this controversy, it's hard to get away from it. Well
of other things pertaining to it down the road, but
this is the one where we talk about the financial
implications I've decided to bring on. But let's take it
to a different thing, back to the superhero thing. Batman
is the only superhero for the star in the Hollywood

(54:34):
Walk of Fame. Unbelievable, Rachel. How about that? See, I'm
I'm learning some of this stuff, Rachel, so I can
educate you, okay, partners, so that we can refer to
us in the book that we're probably gonna likely co author. Anyways,
And I haven't mentioned this. I'm been keeping everything privately,
but I've been thinking about Rachel a lot as I
continue to battle with my challenges with Alzheimer's, and I

(54:55):
know I want to do my second book. I'm going
to make this announcement tonight that I've never thought I would,
but I think it's come to a point where I
need to do it. If she's willing to do it,
I'm probably gonna have Rachel and I, when I work
on the outline process, co author my second book, Lessons
for the Microphone Part Two, and I'll come up with
a throw outline, and at that point, Rachel, I'm going
to need your help so that we can work on

(55:16):
this together. If you're interested in doing it, I hope
we can do it, and we'll try to get everything
worked out. But to have somebody that knows me and
I can tell my story through an outline, I couldn't
think of a better person to have than Rachel. Will
help me take this thing to the rest of the
way and finish what I didn't get done and around
in the first book, because I still feel there's some
updates that we had. Some of the stuff will be new,

(55:37):
some of it will be things I have to call
a few people out in that book because of her
experiences that obviously are what they are based on fact,
not because of personal things. But this is what I
wanted to make here. So Rachel, I hope you're with
me on this one, and I'll give you more information.
I'm not telling me the decision tonight, but you know
that you're my first choice to help me pull this
project off.

Speaker 3 (55:58):
Thanks. Well, I'm sure we'll talk about.

Speaker 1 (55:59):
It absolutely and I'm not saying she's gonna do it,
but it's certainly she's my first choice in this project
and another guy who might possibly help me, but I
don't know yet because Rachel is Tim Gage, formerly of
the Detroit News, and I have talked about doing projects together.
He's in the Hall of Fame, by the way, the
Baseball Hall of Fame. But back, yeah, well, I'll tell
you one thing about you, Rachel. You network a lot

(56:21):
within the movie industry. I have a lot of sports
people that are writers, Bob Ryan, tom Gage, the list
goes on and on that are resplect writers that have
written multiple books. So these are people that are unbelievable
in this industry. So back to Batman. You didn't know
that he has a He's the only superhero to start
on the Hall of Fame Hollywood walking away. When your
thoughts about.

Speaker 3 (56:41):
It, I object, I think it should be wonder Woman
should be there.

Speaker 1 (56:45):
Oh wonderful.

Speaker 3 (56:47):
I thought I was wonder Woman when I was a kid,
and I really thank you people say that. I mean
the amount of stuff I do, it's like a wonder Woman,
that's for sure. I don't know how I do it,
but I had a last so I had to outfit.

Speaker 2 (57:05):
It's called energy.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
I don't I collapse though in the middle of working
out I'll collapse fall asleep. Like last night, I went
to bed at eleven o'clock. I was about to work out.
I'm just gonna lay out for a little bit. Woke
up at four fifty one in the morning.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
You did your push ups.

Speaker 3 (57:24):
Yeah it's ridiculous, but yeah, I thought I was wonder
Woman when I was a kid, and I had the
under rus, I had the lasso, I tied people up
in my neighborhood. It all started early.

Speaker 1 (57:39):
So she don't want Batman, she wants wonder Woman, all right, Jacob.

Speaker 3 (57:43):
Yeah, so there's that. And as far as Batman, I
think it's great that he has his own star on
the Hall of Fame. Why not? But who is your
favorite Batman? Jacob?

Speaker 2 (58:00):
Oh, I'm probably gonna say Bail. You know, I like,
I like, I like Michael Keaton a lot. I like it.
But my favorite joker is gonna says Romero or Jack
Nickla Michelson. I absolutely positively. And the reason the reason
for that, and I'm just saying this, the reason it's
any of those two is because I like as an

(58:22):
actor and someone who studied It's like, and I'm gonna
tell you this part here, I like realism on things
like I watched pro wrestling for a long long time
and I always talk to my friends that are in
the thing, and I say, it's like, it's just like
physical theater, and I always talk about, well, I want
them to quote unquote sell and I want the good
guys to get a win and blah blah blah. It's

(58:43):
the same with the bad guys. With all that, I
like a I like a subtle and subtlety two things,
you know what I mean. It's like I think says
that Morero was a little bit goofy and everything like that.
But yeah, but the whole show is but it was
more subtle than it was, more subtle than a lot

(59:05):
of the other ones became. Like you know what I mean.
It wasn't as violent, it wasn't as everything, but I
think the things are momentarial type is more dangerous if
you would go to the violence mindset, you know what
I mean, if you were to go to that level,
because it's more subtle of it. And say, with Jack Nicholson,
it's like the one thing I like, neither got really angry.

(59:29):
Neither guy, I mean neither got really angry. I don't
like bad guys that get angry until the very end,
you know what I mean, where you you've kind of
made them snap because you caught them. I like them
where there's calm and they're subtle and they get you
and they're they're psychotic and they're narcissistic, but then you
catch them finally and then they snap. To me, it's

(59:53):
building a story and it's like and it's like Heath
Ledger to me was like, they gets you now. You
know what I mean is they put you and put
the knife through his hand and I'm like, did a
good job. He was psychotic, But I like subtle. I
like building up to that moment.

Speaker 3 (01:00:13):
Yeah, I would have picked Heath Ledger because I felt
like he really method act into that character and I
think it ended up killing him in the end, killed me.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
But yeah, that's why I like subtle. That's why I
like subtle and go to the end, because they can
really psychotically get you. Because remember, there's the there's the
Meisner method, there's the Strasburg method, and the idea that
people there's a lot of people who like the Meisner
method because basically you can go home and have a life. Okay,

(01:00:45):
imaginary circumstances, what would you do in that service end
where it's Strasbourg's method. Basically, now go back and remember
at the time when someone tried to throw you in
the water and drown you. Remember what did you think?
And then meanwhile you go home and you're freaking.

Speaker 3 (01:01:00):
Yeah, I just played a killer. I was thrilled to
play this role because I hadn't been a killer. I've
been wanting to be a killer for a while because
it's so opposite my personality, and people are always surprised.

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
But I I played one once in short film. I
played one once, but mostly cops.

Speaker 3 (01:01:21):
You know, it's I've played a cop a couple of times.
To myself, I.

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
Played cops, lawyers. That's sort of the I'm six foot three,
so everybody loves that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
Jan tell her about the killer role. She come on, man,
give her a little flat.

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
Well, no, I could see her as a killer.

Speaker 1 (01:01:38):
Look at that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
I mean it's a killer face. I'm telling you.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
Go ahead, Jacob, sorry about.

Speaker 2 (01:01:47):
But no, but that's the cops. And now you're under arrest.

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
Tiller storry come on, but.

Speaker 3 (01:01:58):
With handcuff uh anyway, so I don't blame you. That's
a different show.

Speaker 1 (01:02:07):
Okay, I told you it was gonna be interesting. Character.
Go ahead, tell me how to killer? One more topic
to go? Will we wrap it up with Bruce Willis,
go ahead of rage?

Speaker 2 (01:02:17):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:02:18):
So yeah, I did this role. It was gonna be
in two different film festivals coming up, so I'm very excited.
And I was one of the leads. There's only two
characters in it, so I am a little bit crazy.
I'm a little you know, crazy right off the bat.
And this reminded me of the movie Smile, where there's

(01:02:39):
like kind of this crazy smile going on. But it's
gonna be interesting to see what people's opinions are because
that was one that I thought, Am I overacting? Am
I just doing it the right way? Like I thought
about Gary Oldman. I forgot what movies he did that
where he just turned around and said everyone, I don't
know if you remember that movie where it was kind

(01:03:01):
of like too much almost, but it worked. So I'm
hoping that it translates the way that I did it.
And that was one of those roles that the director
loved what I did and said, no, no, you did perfect.
So that's coming out at the Hollywood Film Festival on
October twenty fifth, from seven to nine in Hollywood, the
Florida Hollywood in Flipper Cinema. And then it's also coming

(01:03:24):
out at the Savoa Fare Film Festival November sixth at
I think it's eight o'clock. So I have that coming
up so people can check it out. And at first
you don't. I'm not even on it at first, so
I appear later.

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
You brought you brought up that all of them. You
want to know who I just wanted to bring this up.
You want to know what character I think gets really
over people go over, I mean and talk with that
drives me crazy, and that we could really be built
up as Harry Quinn.

Speaker 3 (01:03:53):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
I really when every time I see it, it's always
it always feels like every one that gets Harley Quinn,
it's like they've had boyfriend problems and they're pissed.

Speaker 3 (01:04:04):
All the time. Oh my god, Underwood song.

Speaker 2 (01:04:08):
Yeah, exactly, that's somebody. That's somebody. You want to know
what I see Harley Quinn like. I see Harley Quinn
like the sixteen year old cheerleader with the has been
screwed by too many quarterbacks. You know, she thinks she
starts out as the girl who she starts out out
as a girl who's loved everybody and she can't me

(01:04:28):
and she's trusted everyone. They keep screwing her and she's
really hot and she finally just snaps and you can
build on that. But they just everybody makes her. It's
always the makeup, it's always the bat, it's always the weapons.
It's like and oh, she's always got short shorts and
all that. It's like, yeah, you can have those things,
but build up to it.

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:04:51):
Yeah. And the Lady Gaga version with Joker that I
the Joker part too, I really did not like. Is terrible, terrible.

Speaker 2 (01:04:59):
Well, the Joker part one was better because you built
onto this thing. The second one was number one a musical,
which is terrible. Yeah, it was terrible. Second of all,
you've got the first you got the story done in
the first one, and they made up one right, and
he made one up and that was where the problem was.

Speaker 3 (01:05:21):
Yeah. I know the guy that played the judge in
the second one. I know him. I met him, Bill Smithrovich.
He was in Miami Vice and he was at the
Miami Vice Reunion. I didn't go this year, but I
went the fortieth anniversary last year and what a nice guy,
great guy.

Speaker 2 (01:05:36):
Well did you ever watch Miami Vice?

Speaker 3 (01:05:39):
I did, and again I don't remember it and I
really wanted to review the episodes, but you can't find
it anywhere on TV. You have to buy it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
Well, one things that you want to do big time.
I always say this, whatsoever, keep paying attention to YouTube
over the months, Okay, like there are like, for instance,
I saw my one of my favorite movies, Wall Street
on there, which is never there for years and years
and years, They're adding stuff, whether it's show episodes, until

(01:06:12):
recently they had to show Fame on there. All the
episodes of that that's been gone. I guess they're gonna
put I guess that was somebody else's deal and they
wanted to put their own, you know what I mean,
that kind of deal. But oh, fameous Fame was one
of my favorite I like famee better than I do
Glee because.

Speaker 3 (01:06:29):
I never watched I couldn't watch Glee. I didn't like no, No.

Speaker 2 (01:06:31):
I like fame better than Glee because other than the
fact that it's New York and there's no gay people.
Yeah right, yeah right, Lee Roy, you want to chick?
Yeah right, but other than that, if they actually felt
like actors and singers that were actually struggling with themselves,
Glee felt like a musical right, you know, I say
that there was musical aspects to fame. They actually felt

(01:06:55):
like struggling the artists trying to figure themselves.

Speaker 3 (01:06:59):
Yeah, and I think that was an inspiration for me
as a kid watching that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:04):
Yeah, you know, a what let's stay on the inspiration thing.
Final topic of the night, just so you know, Fire
follows us after at nine thirty nine thirty five pm
kniably to lead on it shortly to preview that show.
But our final topic of the night, we started off
with Dick Van Dyke. Now we're going to conclude with
Bruce Willis was reportedly been moved into a specialized care
home and lives with a care team and a one

(01:07:26):
story house close to his wife and daughters. He can
no longer remember that he was once to star in
movies like Diehard. What can I say about it? Has
been well documented. I've always loved Bruce Willis's work and
his actor There's nothing not to like about Bruce Willis.
It's just too bad that situation is reaching a point
where it's getting this batter. He was forced to leave

(01:07:49):
his family to go into a twenty four hour care Rachel.

Speaker 3 (01:07:52):
Yeah, it's it's extremely sad, and it reminds me of
our buddy Peter Ween, you know, after the stroke. I
just am haunted by the facility that he ended up
living in and he had nothing left, had all his
possessions were gone, and he was living in this place
all by himself and it was awesome, right, So it

(01:08:13):
reminds me of that. But it's a terrible situation. And
I've always liked Bruce Willis. We talked about it last
time I was on, and I realized I had forgotten
a lot of the movies that he did, like Fifth Element.
Fifth Element's one of my favorite movies. I love that movie,
and he did such a great job and every role
he's kind of himself. You know, he doesn't really change
too much in his roles, but you love him as himself.

(01:08:36):
You know, he's got that mischievous quality. He's funny, you know,
he's a perfect leading man. I just love that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:45):
Well Moonlighting, well, you talk about Peter Wait hold on, Jacob. Yeah,
Peter Weed and I and Rachel we were all close.
Peter Weed helped me get back in internet radio, which
led to where we're at now. Of course, I've always
had my background in internet and regular media three media
as you call it, Jacob, dating back to nineteen seventy nine.
Peter Ween meant a lot to Rachel. Peter Ween meant

(01:09:06):
a lot to me, and we on a Sports of
Jane Jacob was on with me when we were talking
about Peter Ween. So I'm glad you brought up Peter Ween.
And you know what we're gonna do. We're gonna dedicate
the show to Peter Ween right now. Peter, I love
you very much or a mentor to myself and Rachel,
and you're definitely somebody that we're really thinking about. But
Bruce willis, what your legacy is goes unmatched. And I

(01:09:27):
just wanted to make sure that we took note of
the fact that it's too bad where he's at, but
he has a great family. Anything else you want to add, Rachel.

Speaker 3 (01:09:36):
No, I'll let Jacob chiman because I know he had
something to say.

Speaker 1 (01:09:38):
Yeah, go ahead, Jacob.

Speaker 2 (01:09:40):
Well, the thing about memory care is I have a
little story on this part here. It's like they talked
about they talked about let's see, I'm trying to think
George Jones when he was in his memory care in
his last days and everything like that, he was still
playing his guitar. He was still played his guitar and

(01:10:00):
still remembering all songs even he knew nobody. Then there's
and then there's a then there was a coach from
our world. Everything Like Chuck Noll, he wasn't in memory care,
but he was getting Alzheimer's and everything like that. He
was still he used to be big in the Russian literature,
wines and everything, and they used to read everything. He

(01:10:21):
still remember that kind of stuff. I had an uncle
who just passed away at ninety one years old. This
is a few and this is a few days ago actually,
so last of the three brothers, my dad, his brother
and daughter, you know, and my dad went first unfortunately,
you know, and my uncle. I did find this out
when I was with my brother the other night. My

(01:10:42):
my uncle was in the memory care. And even though
he didn't know anyone anymore, he was still he was
an architect and he was still drawing things, you know,
I can buildings and stuff like that, even though he
knew nothing anymore. It's like and It just kind of
tells you hopefully that they got something to do. For
Bruce Willison doing that kind of deal because he had

(01:11:04):
to be some kind of artists. Hopefully he's doing something
like that for that to keep them there. Otherwise you're
just laying there, right and you're doing nothing, And it's like,
I hope he's got something like that. I love hearing
things like that. They like my uncle who did the drawings,
and he did that thing for building because, like I said,
he was an architect for half the Saint Louis so
it felt like at least.

Speaker 3 (01:11:25):
So it accesses a different part of your brain, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:11:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:11:28):
And I was like, and I love hearing that. And
it's like, and they're they're doing so many things with
the brain now, like Alan all Theo does boxing classes
for as Parkinson's you know, yeah, and stuff like that,
and then he has those and it's like and it's
one of those things you hope that they continue and
do everything because a lot of the times dementia and
everything like that that goes with it, they just lay

(01:11:50):
there so they're gone and you hope that he's not
doing that.

Speaker 3 (01:11:53):
Yeah, music is it's amazing what they do with music
with Alzheimer's. Oh yeah, in Deerfield Beach where I am,
there's used to be called the Northeast focal Point. Now
it's the break wait whatever they're calling it now. But
they had I saw some of the seniors. They had
class with music with the with the seniors, and it

(01:12:14):
was amazing, like singing with them. They still remembered all
the old songs. You know, even though they don't remember
who you are, they still remember the songs. And I
think that there's something to that, like maybe working with
people to remember things through songs, through music, you know,
phrase it as a song.

Speaker 2 (01:12:34):
Yeah, And I agree with that part. And it's like
and really, and that's that's what I hope for for
the met with Memory Care that weekend, that that kind
of stuff can cure it eventually one day, you know,
Delzheimer's with dementia all that. I really do, you.

Speaker 1 (01:12:49):
Know well what that' said Next Thursday night Detroit Sports

MotorCity Man Mouse Show. I hope you can join us
