WEBVTT - CRAIG T. NELSON: "Green and Gold"

0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:08.760
<v Speaker 1>During this month of January, much of America found itself

0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:12.800
<v Speaker 1>in a deep freeze, a cold snap that reached much

0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:17.040
<v Speaker 1>further and wider than normal, making many of us very

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 1>grateful for temperate climates and warmer seasons. Thankfully, we know

0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:26.880
<v Speaker 1>that the frigid weather won't last forever. Spring will come

0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>knocking and we'll let it in with all the excitement

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:33.519
<v Speaker 1>we heap upon a child returning from college for the

0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:38.520
<v Speaker 1>first time. With our central heating and air conditioning systems,

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:42.720
<v Speaker 1>it can be easy to feel disconnected from the seasons,

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 1>unless an extreme weather event comes round to remind us

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 1>that Mother Nature is still firmly in charge. Not so

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 1>for America's farmers. Farmers are still connected to the earth,

0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 1>to the dirt, to the land in a way that

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 1>most no longer understand. The slightest upset can really recavoc

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 1>especially on a small family farm, which brings me to

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 1>today's episode of love Someone. Fathom Entertainment is bringing an

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:19.559
<v Speaker 1>inspirational new film to theaters nationwide on January thirty first,

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 1>through Fathom Events, Green and Gold, starring Craig T. Nelson

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>and I'm bringing Craig T. Nelson to you. You are

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 1>familiar with this much beloved actor from his many many

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 1>roles such as Hayden Fox in the sitcom Coach, and

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:44.400
<v Speaker 1>from films like Stir Crazy, Poltergeist, All the Right Moves, Action,

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Jackson and Turner, and Hooch. He's also the voice of

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Mister Incredible in The Incredibles and its sequel. He also

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>starred as Zeke Braveman in the TV drama series Parenthood,

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 1>and most recently was Dale Ballard, Mima's love interest in

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Young Sheldon. And that's just naming a few of the

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>many many shows and movies he's done. In Green and Gold,

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:17.239
<v Speaker 1>Craig T. Nelson portrays Buck Buck is a Wisconsin dairy

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:21.679
<v Speaker 1>farmer with foreclosure looming over the land his family has

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:26.400
<v Speaker 1>cultivated for over four generations. We will talk to CRAIGT.

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Nelson about this new role as soon as I've cultivated

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:35.560

<v Speaker 2>Craig T.

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Nelson, Welcome to love someone with Delilah.

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 3>Hi.

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 1>I only have one regret, one regret about seeing green

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 1>and gold. This past weekend, and that is that I

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:22.119
<v Speaker 1>had to watch it on my computer because I wish

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.839
<v Speaker 1>that I had seen it on the biggest screen ever made.

0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you gotta go see it.

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:26.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to.

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to. It's when the night it opens. I

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 1>promise I'm going to be there because I have not

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:38.359
<v Speaker 1>seen that level of cinematography in a hell of a

0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:39.040
<v Speaker 1>long time.

0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 4>It's beautiful and it's really really gorgeous. It's like another

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 4>character in the movie because.

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 1>It's the setting, the beauty, the cinematography truly is a

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.119
<v Speaker 1>lead character in the movie Green and Gold.

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and it gives you a sense of why they

0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 4>love it so much, why it's so meaningful.

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I haven't i haven't ugly cried at a movie. I'm

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:10.040
<v Speaker 1>trying to think the last time I ugly cried at

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 1>a movie.

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:13.800
<v Speaker 2>It's it's you know, like.

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Some women cry really pretty and the tears just kind

0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:19.839
<v Speaker 1>of goes down their face, just one or two little tears.

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:25.120
<v Speaker 1>My nose gets like twice its size and red and snotty.

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:29.800
<v Speaker 1>And by the end of Green and Gold, your new movie,

0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.040
<v Speaker 1>I was and I have an eight year old son.

0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 1>He was sitting on the floor at my feet and

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 1>I was playing with his hair the whole movie, and

0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 1>he turned around and he's like, Mom, are you okay?

0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's wonderful.

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I was so blessed. And there's so much I want

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:53.840
<v Speaker 1>to dig into here. This is about four generations of

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:58.840
<v Speaker 1>family that that are the backbone of our nation, that

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 1>feed us every day, that that never get a day off,

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:11.120
<v Speaker 1>that never get a freaking break, and characters that are

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.719
<v Speaker 1>deeply flawed but deeply beautiful.

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's a that's really nice. Well put, I mean

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:22.279
<v Speaker 4>that's how I felt about the same way. I think

0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 4>the faith part of it also was interesting to me

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:29.160
<v Speaker 4>because it's wandering. You know, the lead character, or one

0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 4>of the lead characters, is wandering. He doesn't he doesn't

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 4>really have a connection. He doesn't have a relationship. His

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 4>relationships to the land and to to a memory perhaps

0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:49.160
<v Speaker 4>of his daughter that is uh is hurtful. It has

0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:53.720
<v Speaker 4>kept him from He's so invulnerable, and yet he's so

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 4>on the edge of not being able to explain even

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 4>what his feelings are. He just knows that this is

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.839
<v Speaker 4>something that means something to it.

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:08.080
<v Speaker 1>It means everything. It means The monologue that the character

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 1>played by that played your granddaughter Jenny at.

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:14.360
<v Speaker 2>The end.

0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 1>When she's talking about her faith and the land and.

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 2>What is truly holy?

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, to me, Buck, the character you played and his

0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:34.880
<v Speaker 1>relationship with the owl that he rescued and the disabled

0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:40.600
<v Speaker 1>boy that he fixed his fireplace, and the jerk banker

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 1>that he pulled out of the snow, that to me

0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 1>is such a beautiful example of holy.

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:53.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Yeah, it's really, that's so true.

0:07:53.920 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 4>The sovereignty of God is so wonderfully mysterious, and you

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 4>never know where it's going to appear, in whom it's

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 4>going to show it. So and we go through this

0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 4>journey of life and we ascribe certain judgments to it,

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 4>and we assign certain people a back seat or whatever.

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 4>There however, we manifest our own prejudice and you realize

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 4>that we're all children of God and we have our

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 4>journeys and we find them and hopefully and he finds

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.960
<v Speaker 4>his Buck, the character in the film, he finds his

0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:40.640
<v Speaker 4>throuugh an adversity but a reliance and finally realizing how

0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 4>powerless he is. And I really identify with that.

0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.640
<v Speaker 1>That was going to be my next question, how aligned

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.920
<v Speaker 1>how much of you of Craig T.

0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Nelson is is? Buck?

0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:03.760
<v Speaker 4>I would there's obviously some. I mean it's more in memory.

0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:08.640
<v Speaker 4>I think it was for me. The reason one of

0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.480
<v Speaker 4>the reasons I did the movie was because of the

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.839
<v Speaker 4>way he felt the journey he was going through, which

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 4>is one I feel that I've I have passed through,

0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.959
<v Speaker 4>have yet to go on other journeys. But I wanted

0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 4>to be able to tell that story because I find

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 4>that it revealed in me my own reticence to understand

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.480
<v Speaker 4>that other people have their own walk and I need

0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:37.600
<v Speaker 4>to be open to that. And also the fact that

0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 4>I come from generational farmers and the fact that they're

0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 4>being it's almost being lost, it's almost it's such a

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:48.199
<v Speaker 4>beautiful tradition.

0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:50.319
<v Speaker 3>Well, there's well, I must.

0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:53.960
<v Speaker 4>Say that I would have said in the same way,

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:57.280
<v Speaker 4>except when I went to Wisconsin and we're doing the

0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:01.520
<v Speaker 4>film and then you meet these people and you meet

0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.360
<v Speaker 4>not only the people, but you meet who they are,

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:09.320
<v Speaker 4>and there it was such a for me, such a

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:13.680
<v Speaker 4>revelation that will wait a minute, here there's still people here,

0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:18.439
<v Speaker 4>They're still doing this, there's still there is a community

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:21.479
<v Speaker 4>of them, and they need supporting.

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:23.719
<v Speaker 3>And you know.

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:26.280
<v Speaker 4>What I had done is kind of put them on

0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.520
<v Speaker 4>a back burner and said well, we're losing them or

0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 4>we've lost them, and I don't think that's true. I

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 4>think that there's still hope there. And I that was

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 4>another beautiful part of being a part of the movie

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:42.079
<v Speaker 4>was that.

0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Revelation, so so many beautiful parts. The development of the

0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:51.600
<v Speaker 1>relationship between Buck and his granddaughter, who were the two

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:56.880
<v Speaker 1>main characters. And the beautiful woman that played your wife,

0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Holy Annabelle Amore a gorgeous and she played it so

0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:09.160
<v Speaker 1>such a great, little smart, eleichy, beautiful, loving.

0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Strong Midwest woman.

0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 1>I just ah, I loved everything about this movie, but

0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:19.760
<v Speaker 1>that relationship between the granddaughter who had her own dreams

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.200
<v Speaker 1>and aspirations and her grandpa.

0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Who, because of the heart of.

0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Losing her mama, his daughter just couldn't even give an inch, like,

0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:35.080
<v Speaker 1>could not could not validate to save his life, her

0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:38.320
<v Speaker 1>talent or her gift or her passions. And the way

0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:42.400
<v Speaker 1>that in the end that came together, Oh my gosh.

0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.320
<v Speaker 2>It was so well done. It was so beautiful.

0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 4>Man.

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.760
<v Speaker 1>I just want I want everyone who's who's got a dream,

0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I want everyone who's got a stubborn, crusty old man

0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:57.800
<v Speaker 1>that they don't understand. I want everyone to go see

0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Green and Gold, and we didn't even mention the football team.

0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a sports fan, so when I heard it

0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 1>was about the Packers, I'm like, okay.

0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but it's not about the Packers.

0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:14.680
<v Speaker 1>It's about devotion and it's about community and it's about

0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:23.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, having a common, joyful bond that propels you

0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:28.360
<v Speaker 1>and gives you, gives you hope, gives you joy. And

0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 1>for people who do have a team, they're gonna love

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 1>it even more.

0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:36.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was so interesting in so many ways to

0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.240
<v Speaker 4>find you know, the Green Bay Packers being publicly owned and.

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.160
<v Speaker 3>Community owned.

0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:48.240
<v Speaker 4>Was also something that was you know, being part of

0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:54.240
<v Speaker 4>that environment is is radical and it's so interesting the

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:58.440
<v Speaker 4>fandom and the devotion that they have, and I think

0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:02.560
<v Speaker 4>that kind of commitment it is so you know, we

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:07.239
<v Speaker 4>get lost in the vagaries of all of the extensions

0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:12.320
<v Speaker 4>that we're given and I should say distractions, and as

0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:16.320
<v Speaker 4>a result, we lose focus, We lose the perception of

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:21.320
<v Speaker 4>the oneness of us, all that the individuality, and I

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:26.000
<v Speaker 4>think the beauty of it is that the revelation in

0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:31.600
<v Speaker 4>the movie for me is that in recognizing that someone

0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.360
<v Speaker 4>does have talent and needs to go out and experience

0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:38.240
<v Speaker 4>the world, to be able to share the gift of saying,

0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 4>I know what that world's like, and I need you

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:45.959
<v Speaker 4>to keep in mind what you're leaving behind, because at

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:49.640
<v Speaker 4>some point you may get out there forget what is

0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:54.280
<v Speaker 4>that you're leaving behind or had left behind, and then

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.480
<v Speaker 4>when you need it, you can't make your way back

0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:58.960
<v Speaker 4>because you can't remember it.

0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:12.560
<v Speaker 1>You can't find your way back home. Another thing that

0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:17.560
<v Speaker 1>was woven throughout the movie that other people might miss,

0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:21.720
<v Speaker 1>but because I've been in radio for fifty years now,

0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:26.120
<v Speaker 1>was the subtle way that the radio show was woven

0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 1>in from the very beginning the opening scene of the movie.

0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.880
<v Speaker 1>And then in every home there's a radio sitting on

0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.520
<v Speaker 1>the you know, on the table where you would get

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.720
<v Speaker 1>your weather forecast. And in every truck they're listening to

0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 1>the local DJ. And local radio back in the day

0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 1>was lifeline. It was their lifeline.

0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:52.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.040
<v Speaker 2>And now you.

0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Know everything is owned by the same two or three corporations.

0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:04.520
<v Speaker 1>But in small towns, in small communities, there are still fabulous,

0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:08.040
<v Speaker 1>really wonderful yeah radio stations.

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:09.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's wonderful.

0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:11.880
<v Speaker 4>And you know, you only had to push like two

0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 4>or three buttons, and you know, and then maybe you

0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:19.280
<v Speaker 4>get some FM, but for sure you get the farm

0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 4>report and an update on pork bellies.

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Pork bellies six am every morning. I had to do

0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:28.800
<v Speaker 1>the pork belly, the farm report. Yeah, but again, it

0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 1>was about all about community and everything in the story

0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:40.520
<v Speaker 1>was about you know, we have this catchphrase, these catchphrases

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:46.640
<v Speaker 1>now intentionality and being present and building community. But when

0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:50.400
<v Speaker 1>we have opportunities to do that, to be present at

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:55.080
<v Speaker 1>the birth of a calf that's stuck, to be intentional

0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:58.880
<v Speaker 1>in having a family dinner and talking like you know

0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Buck's family did the movie, and to build community like

0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.840
<v Speaker 1>the church had, and like pulling somebody out of the

0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.320
<v Speaker 1>snow who's done you wrong and loving them anyway.

0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:11.720
<v Speaker 4>And those were two great draft horses too. They were

0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:15.760
<v Speaker 4>just so huge. It was like amazing to me how

0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:19.200
<v Speaker 4>big those horses were and how strong they are. But

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:23.200
<v Speaker 4>you mentioned the church, and I loved sitting there in

0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.600
<v Speaker 4>the pew and listening to that choir. It was just

0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 4>so genuine and so beautifully done, and it was so

0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.120
<v Speaker 4>rich and so tiny.

0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Was that an actual church building that you guys found

0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:37.520
<v Speaker 1>and filmed in.

0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:42.360
<v Speaker 4>That wasn't It was the beautiful little church like you

0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.880
<v Speaker 4>would imagine and the choir with the Luteran choir, and

0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.600
<v Speaker 4>they were who they were, and by golly, they were

0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:51.600
<v Speaker 4>going to get up there and they sang and it

0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 4>was it just took me back.

0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:58.800
<v Speaker 3>So it was so real it was and so beautiful.

0:16:59.240 --> 0:16:59.760
<v Speaker 3>It was so.

0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:05.720
<v Speaker 1>BEAUTIFU you know, from from doing your calisthenics in your

0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 1>in your chonies and your tidy whities to spitting.

0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:15.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you nailed the character. And I kept going,

0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:16.240
<v Speaker 2>how much of this is.

0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:18.919
<v Speaker 1>Craig ten Milson really like, do you do you do

0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:20.320
<v Speaker 1>calisthenics in the morning?

0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:23.720
<v Speaker 4>Well, yeah, you know, you work out, but you don't

0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:25.920
<v Speaker 4>do it in the tidy whities and you're not doing

0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:29.639
<v Speaker 4>it with the apparatus that he had, which was basically

0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:35.639
<v Speaker 4>nothing and the regimen I think that he wanted to

0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:39.119
<v Speaker 4>employ how he wanted to look or feel. It was

0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.680
<v Speaker 4>really off of the farmer that we spent a lot

0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:46.679
<v Speaker 4>of time with and how he not only behaved, but

0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:53.080
<v Speaker 4>what the animals. The animals in the movie were extraordinary

0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.080
<v Speaker 4>because it was like, I don't know, if you've been

0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:58.040
<v Speaker 4>around a lot of dairy cattle, they are not only huge,

0:17:58.520 --> 0:17:59.560
<v Speaker 4>they don't really care.

0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Craig, do you see the background of my studio. Do

0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:08.000
<v Speaker 1>you see my walls? This isn't like an image that

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:12.679
<v Speaker 1>I put behind me. I'm broadcasting from a barn. I

0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.040
<v Speaker 1>live on a five hundred acre cattle ranch.

0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:16.679
<v Speaker 3>Oh well then you know.

0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm the one that has to pull the calf

0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:21.000
<v Speaker 1>out when it gets stuck.

0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:22.359
<v Speaker 3>Oh well, there you go.

0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:27.240
<v Speaker 4>So, I mean the cats that this particular farm had

0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:30.879
<v Speaker 4>were so extraordinary, and they wanted to show up on

0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:34.160
<v Speaker 4>every scene that you did because we used the interiors

0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:35.680
<v Speaker 4>of the farmhouse that they had.

0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:41.000
<v Speaker 2>I like that. What was the billy's comment? I like her.

0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:48.480
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't decorps motif. I like the motiva. Good writing.

0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Whoever wrote that line? Good writing?

0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:54.879
<v Speaker 3>It was. Yeah, it's really funny.

0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there was a lot of so much good ride.

0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:01.679
<v Speaker 1>It's such a good movie. It is such a good movie.

0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.439
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for doing it. Thank you for sharing this

0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:10.080
<v Speaker 1>beautiful story. What a great conversation we're having with Craig T.

<v Speaker 1>Nelson talking about the movie Green and Gold. We'll have

0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:17.120

<v Speaker 1>They've been putting their faith into action for almost fifty years.

0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Mercy Ships is all about impact. They performed nearly one

0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:54.639
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty thousand free surgeries to date and touched

0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:58.800
<v Speaker 1>more than two million lives. But more than the numbers,

0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:05.160
<v Speaker 1>it's about dream restored and lives renewed. It's about loving someone.

<v Speaker 1>want to care about farmers, I want to know more.

<v Speaker 1>How can I support them? How can I drive by

0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:46.360
<v Speaker 1>the mailbox?

0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:48.119
<v Speaker 2>You know? How can people do?

0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:48.359
<v Speaker 3>That?

<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:52.440
<v Speaker 4>I mean you go to farm Aid and you can

0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:56.639
<v Speaker 4>go to any website that has to do with the

0:20:56.720 --> 0:21:03.640
<v Speaker 4>Wisconsin farmers for instance, Wisconsin, any farm that's located, you know,

0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:06.760
<v Speaker 4>and they're still out there. It's very easy to do

0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:10.320
<v Speaker 4>and find out what you can do. Just a voice

0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:16.080
<v Speaker 4>alone is really important, but also the subsidies, you know,

0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:21.640
<v Speaker 4>So hopefully we'll have an impact on that and get

0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:22.480
<v Speaker 4>people interested.

0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, it touched my heart. It made me laugh, and

0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:31.200
<v Speaker 1>it made me ugly cry, and it made me proud

0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:33.480
<v Speaker 1>to be in radio, and it made me proud to

0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:36.399
<v Speaker 1>love dirt. And it made me proud to be married

0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:39.119
<v Speaker 1>to a man who is so much like the lead character.

0:21:39.200 --> 0:21:40.800
<v Speaker 2>It scared him. He watched it.

0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Let me tell you you nailed that character because I'm

0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:48.000
<v Speaker 1>married to him.

0:21:48.280 --> 0:21:53.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. It's Yeah, it's a place that a lot of people.

0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:56.280
<v Speaker 4>Have gone, and thank god I've had the opportunity to

0:21:57.119 --> 0:21:58.840
<v Speaker 4>meet some of them and talk to them and get

0:21:58.840 --> 0:21:59.360
<v Speaker 4>to know them.

0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:03.080
<v Speaker 3>We share a very common bond in that regard.

0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, God bless you, Craig T. Nelson.

0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:11.000
<v Speaker 1>The movie is Green and Gold and which is about

0:22:11.000 --> 0:22:13.680
<v Speaker 1>the Green Bay Packers, but it's not. It's about love

0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:19.080
<v Speaker 1>and life and family and farming and cows and horses

0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:21.160
<v Speaker 1>and cats that were in every scene.

0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:25.240
<v Speaker 2>I love the little gray kitten. Oh yeah, that was

0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:26.159
<v Speaker 2>my favorite.

0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:31.080
<v Speaker 1>I love the owl, I love the.

0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:33.520
<v Speaker 4>Luna, the owl. Yeah, I remember when we shot that.

0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 4>I said to the guys on the set, I said,

0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:38.760
<v Speaker 4>can you please get a picture of the owl as

0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:44.280
<v Speaker 4>it's released for me so I can remember this moment.

0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:48.280
<v Speaker 4>And when that owl came out of the netting and

0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:53.680
<v Speaker 4>raised up, it was just such a signature moment and
