WEBVTT - Introducing: Haileywood

0:00:01.320 --> 0:00:05.040
<v Speaker 1>In the nineties, there was no bigger star than Bruce Willis,

0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:10.119
<v Speaker 1>and nowhere for him to go where he wasn't treated

0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:17.000
<v Speaker 1>like Hollywood royalty. But almost by accident, Willis found his

0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:26.760
<v Speaker 1>escape a tiny town called Haley, Idaho. I've never been

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 1>one who's star struck. I wouldn't walk across the street

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:35.600
<v Speaker 1>to meet a movie star. I love die Hard and

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:38.080
<v Speaker 1>some of those other movies at all. Bruce Willis as you,

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:41.960
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of fun. Soon the sight of Bruce Willis

0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 1>tending bar or pulling lumber became surprisingly normal. So he

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 1>was just there. You'd see him driving around town. But

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 1>pretty quickly the people of Haley's started feeling suspicious. We

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:03.160
<v Speaker 1>kept hearing a corporation named Ixnay was making offers to

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>buy some properties right on main stream, and we couldn't

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>find out who was the force behind icks May. It

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>turns out Bruce Willis didn't just want to live in Haley.

0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>He wanted to transform it, to remake the town in

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 1>his own image. And that's when Haley became something else entirely.

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:32.839
<v Speaker 1>Haleywood is a story of big dreams and even bigger tempers.

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:36.440
<v Speaker 1>And he said, they smashed my club roughed me up,

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:38.959
<v Speaker 1>so they told me to get that out of town.

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.839
<v Speaker 1>What happened when the world's biggest movie star took over

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 1>a tiny old mining town. He was flying a G

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>two G twos where the noisiest aircraft, and he would

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.880
<v Speaker 1>fly on at two o'clock in the morning. That woke

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 1>you up. It's a tale people close to Bruce Willis

0:01:56.800 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>had never been keen on telling a thousand of us.

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.919
<v Speaker 1>There's a handful that were just a complete nightmare. Bruce

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 1>was one of those nightmares. But it's a story the

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 1>people of haley are recounting in detail. For the very

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>first time, something went sour, and if it goes sour

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 1>with Willis, you're likely to lose. Join me Danish Sports

0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>as we transport you back to the nineties, to the

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>mountains of Idaho, where the glitz and glamor of Hollywood

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 1>collided with the small town values of Haleywood. You can

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 1>listen to Haleywood starting October on the I Heart Radio app,

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:37.079
