Speaker 1: Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome.
Speaker 1: It is time now for our community connection right here
Speaker 1: on K one, the one you trust. Now, a lot
Speaker 1: of people know Michael Bush as their chiropractor, what's up, Doc,
Speaker 1: But also a lot of people know you as someone
Speaker 1: who's been in a lot of movies. And you're in
Speaker 1: a new one that's coming out this week.
Speaker 2: Yep. It's called sawd and Stubble and it's going to
Speaker 2: be playing at the Independent Cinema this weekend.
Speaker 1: Now, not only are you in it, you've got a
Speaker 1: speaking part, but you have a family member.
Speaker 3: He's in this too.
Speaker 2: My grandson, Presley Bauers, is in it. And he's uh,
Speaker 2: he's been in I think this is the third thing
Speaker 2: he's been in with me. But he's excited, he's jazzed.
Speaker 2: He's what I mean, he's a young teenager, but he's
Speaker 2: excited about his limelight. He's going to get well.
Speaker 3: This is great.
Speaker 1: You know, I've been to your office as a patient
Speaker 1: and I just couldn't help but take a look at
Speaker 1: some of the set pictures that you have in the office,
Speaker 1: and I thought for sure you'd been in maybe a
Speaker 1: hundred movies or so but how many have you really
Speaker 1: been in?
Speaker 2: You know, I have, I haven't been in that many.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking maybe no, not that many. You know, what
Speaker 2: do you consider movies? Are you talking about documentaries? Are
Speaker 2: you talking about commerci I don't know. Maybe forty or so.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. Those prints really look good in
Speaker 1: your office. Now saw it in Stubble takes place in Kansas.
Speaker 1: It tell us a little bit about the movie.
Speaker 2: Well, the book Sowd and Stubble, and it's for the
Speaker 2: state of Kansas, is kind of like the foremost historical
Speaker 2: book representing what it was like to go out there
Speaker 2: on the prairie, build a cabin or a saudi and
Speaker 2: just survive like they were doing back then. So any
Speaker 2: of the history teachers, those people interested in history, they've
Speaker 2: read Sowd and Stubble. Personally, I had never heard of
Speaker 2: it before. I was more concerned with Little House on
Speaker 2: the Prairie because that's kind of our area, or Bull
Speaker 2: of Rock. But this Sowd and Stubble, well, I guess
Speaker 2: it has been around. I mean, I think they wrote
Speaker 2: it back in the twenties and so it's been around
Speaker 2: a long time. What happened was is a guy named
Speaker 2: Vaughn Rothenberger who lives up up by Downs. He's a
Speaker 2: historian and he works for the State of Kansas. A
Speaker 2: lot very interested in the story. So the book was
Speaker 2: written very almost primitive like, and so there was a
Speaker 2: lot left out, a lot of unanswered questions. It was
Speaker 2: just someone's diary basically, just kind of written out. But
Speaker 2: it was so well received that Vaughn decided to do
Speaker 2: more research on it. He started, he found more papers
Speaker 2: that had been left out, a whole like two new
Speaker 2: chapters that he added to that book just on stuff
Speaker 2: that had been left out. So he researched the facts
Speaker 2: of the cases, that the characters and all that that's
Speaker 2: in the book, and he really added a lot. So
Speaker 2: Sawden Stubble got reprinted and it's been a success since
Speaker 2: Vaughn took that on and with the help of the
Speaker 2: family and they got a reprinted. So Ken Spurgeon, who
Speaker 2: is who teaches history at Friends. He's a filmmaker, been
Speaker 2: in I've been in a few things with Ken over
Speaker 2: the years, but he is very well received as a
Speaker 2: fantastic job. But he mainly concentrates on Kansas history, and
Speaker 2: so he got to be a part of this Sowden Stubble.
Speaker 2: They asked him to make a film about it. I
Speaker 2: think he kind of kicked it around for a few years,
Speaker 2: but just found that the interest up there at Downs
Speaker 2: and Osborne and those places by Cocker City, all those
Speaker 2: people had such an interest in restoring it. So the
Speaker 2: volunteers all gathered together, raised money, built back the old farm,
Speaker 2: built the house, built the barns, and he had a
Speaker 2: working set ready to go.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's going to be a good film.
Speaker 3: Now, you play a preacher, yes in this when us
Speaker 3: a little bit about your role, because it's kind of crucial.
Speaker 2: Well, I play Reverend John Higginbotham, and in the book again,
Speaker 2: when you're talking with people from one hundred years ago,
Speaker 2: the facts get skewed. Sometimes we are all guilty of
Speaker 2: misremembering things. Sometimes maybe we thought it was the Uncle
Speaker 2: Junior and it was actually Uncle Buck that said it. Well,
Speaker 2: it was the same thing with him. I play Higginbotham,
Speaker 2: but there's been some connection to a minister named Bowers,
Speaker 2: but they decided that Higginbotham really was probably the one
Speaker 2: that gave the sermon. My sermon is to about fifteen
Speaker 2: people in a log cabin, and this all really took place,
Speaker 2: and the Pawnee Indians show up. They were starving and
Speaker 2: they were begging for food, and they interrupted the preacher's
Speaker 2: sermon at the cabin and put a lot of fear
Speaker 2: into the people inside the cabin. And just the interaction
Speaker 2: with those tribes members from the Pawnee outside the door
Speaker 2: and scaring everybody, and they, you know, and they're wanting food. Well,
Speaker 2: she had baked some bread and it really wasn't to
Speaker 2: their liking, but they enjoyed the half rotten chicken, dead
Speaker 2: chickens that had died of cholera out outside the bar.
Speaker 2: My God, and this is all true. It's all based
Speaker 2: on fact. And so anyway, I am Reverend John Higginbotham,
Speaker 2: and I read from the Book of Exodus. You know,
Speaker 2: in the Book of Exodus, Moses asked the Lord to
Speaker 2: show him his glory. He wanted to see the face
Speaker 2: and the glory of the Lord, but that could not be,
Speaker 2: for the Lord said in verse twenty, you cannot see
Speaker 2: my face. No man sees my face and lives. For
Speaker 2: the Lord knew what we failed to understand, and that
Speaker 2: his holiness and our sinfulness cannot be face to face.
Speaker 2: So you just got my lines.
Speaker 1: Wow, nicely delivered their higgy. This is gonna be great. Now,
Speaker 1: who's all in the movie with you and your grandson?
Speaker 2: Okay, So you know people see these independent films like this,
Speaker 2: but we've got some big stars in this thing. I mean,
Speaker 2: right off the bat, my good friend Barry Corbin is
Speaker 2: in it.
Speaker 3: But most people know Barry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Barry, you know, most people know him. His Roscoe
Speaker 2: on Lonesome Dome. Yeah, you know, don't don't go hitting
Speaker 2: on that girl. You know those lines he's been to.
Speaker 2: You know, he was in Killers of the Flower Moon
Speaker 2: and they had a thing at Puhusca for him. And
Speaker 2: so everybody knows Barry around here. Barry Corbin from yellow
Speaker 2: Stone and the Ranch and Northern Exposure, and like you said,
Speaker 2: the list can go on. Well, he's filming Tulsa King's
Speaker 2: right now, because he had planned on kind of trying
Speaker 2: to come up here, but he's filming Tulsa King, so
Speaker 2: he's unable to be here. But we got Buck Taylor,
Speaker 2: who's newly on gun Smoke. Our lead is Bailey Chase,
Speaker 2: and a lot of the people around here that are
Speaker 2: watching Angels Studio's Homestead with Neil mcdonnah. Yeah, Bailey is
Speaker 2: the man that's in Homestead with Neil. And so then
Speaker 2: we have Mary mcdonna, who is most of the young
Speaker 2: guys around here that are my age. Remember Aaron on
Speaker 2: the Waltons, the one we had the crush on. Yes,
Speaker 2: well that's Mary and she's in it. Let's see who else.
Speaker 2: We got Rudy Ramos. When I was growing up, he
Speaker 2: was on High Chaparral, but a lot of people know
Speaker 2: him as the grandfather on Yellowstone and he's in it.
Speaker 2: Let's see. We got Dodie Brown, she plays Rosa Ice.
Speaker 2: Darby Hinton, who's Israel Boone on Daniel Boone growing up.
Speaker 2: He's in it. There's a local actors. There's some local
Speaker 2: guys that are regionally are pretty well thought of and noticeable.
Speaker 2: So it is going to be a fantastic film. I
Speaker 2: think everybody really will like it. The cool thing is
Speaker 2: is it's for people of all ages. It's rated G,
Speaker 2: so you can take the kids or grandkids. This might
Speaker 2: be a great event since Mother's Days this weekend, maybe
Speaker 2: taking mom or grandma to see something nice and wholesome
Speaker 2: that everybody can enjoy. There's going to be Friday night
Speaker 2: at six and then Saturday at three and six are
Speaker 2: the viewings, and I'm going to be and Pressley's going
Speaker 2: to be there for all of them, and we'll meet
Speaker 2: and greet you, and then we'll talk about the movie
Speaker 2: ahead of time, and then we'll talk about it afterwards.
Speaker 2: And after everybody sees it, they'll be more comfortable and
Speaker 2: not giving out any spoilers, so to speak, so we'll
Speaker 2: talk about it afterwards.
Speaker 3: Now, this is going to be an Independence, and which theater.
Speaker 2: It's Independence has one theater downtown. It has three separate theaters,
Speaker 2: but Aaron that owns it. He has opened up the
Speaker 2: big one that holds eighty five people. So we're trying
Speaker 2: to get it to Bartlesville. But Bartlesville is corporate owned,
Speaker 2: and you better than anybody.
Speaker 3: Know, we're having issues with money, yes.
Speaker 2: And so we just haven't heard back like we thought
Speaker 2: we would have. So we're casting all of our dice
Speaker 2: towards Independence and airing up there that owns that he
Speaker 2: has just went above and beyond the call of duty
Speaker 2: on this very excited and you know it, it may
Speaker 2: end up if we have a good enough showing this weekend,
Speaker 2: it may roll over into next weekend too.
Speaker 3: So that'd be great.
Speaker 2: So, but there's lots of places for those that are
Speaker 2: maybe listening that maybe don't live around here or have
Speaker 2: relatives in another town, they're having to go there. It's
Speaker 2: you can get on the Sodden Stubble website or on
Speaker 2: Facebook and it will give you a list of where
Speaker 2: it's playing. Because it's been up at Newton since April.
Speaker 2: It's going to be in Kingman, I know it's in
Speaker 2: Butler County. There's a gazillion places that this thing is
Speaker 2: showing right now. It's really taken on wings.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, well, we're going to be posting this
Speaker 1: as a news story and we're going to put all
Speaker 1: the links where you can find it and also maybe
Speaker 1: ask the studio, hey, can you bring it to mone account.
Speaker 2: Honest, that'd be awesome, you know. I I'm just the
Speaker 2: facilitator because we've got actors all stationed all over the
Speaker 2: state wherever they live or even Nebraska or Nevada and Oklahoma,
Speaker 2: and they're they're trying to handle things where they're at.
Speaker 2: So I know it's shown in Butler County this weekend.
Speaker 2: So that's why you know we're here. Me and Pressley
Speaker 2: are here, and we're just trying to get everybody involved
Speaker 2: and let them have a great time. I think it's
Speaker 2: going to be a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: Oh, it will be. I can't wait to see you
Speaker 3: as a preacher.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna deliver it. You know, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: put the fear in you. They said that Higginbotham's voice
Speaker 2: could really carry, so I that's just right up my alley.
Speaker 1: Well, doctor Busch, this is gonna be one for the
Speaker 1: entire family, and I really hope that everybody can get
Speaker 1: a chance to see it once again. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: at the movie Theater in Independence, Kansas. Gonna be Friday
Speaker 1: night at six six, right, and then three and six
Speaker 1: on Saturday. So if you can get that into your calendar,

Speaker 2: up in the movie world, so they're not strangers to it.
Speaker 2: And yes, Trinny, my younger daughter who played We would
Speaker 2: do live theater out of little house in the prairie here,

Speaker 2: four seasons of American Ninja Warrior. She just qualified for
Speaker 2: Worlds through a separate organization. But she's still with it.

Speaker 2: big splash because you know, you get up by my
Speaker 2: age and you start losing your balance, and.

Speaker 1: would kill to be your age again. But this is
