Looking forward to talking with them.
And coming up in a minute, your chance to win cold hard cash, gold jewelry, and tickets to a club level indoor seating to Green Bay versus Minnesota in a football game on the professional side.
In Green Bay.
How am I doing?
We're good.
We're good.
He's very nervous today.
Zahvers is very nervous.
But first some breaking news for you.
Jimmy Kimmel Live will return to the air on ABC tomorrow night.
The network announced in a statement, quote, last Wednesday,
We made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country."
A spokesperson for the Walt Disney Company which owns ABC said in a statement to CNN.
It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and insensitive.
We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy.
And after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday, unquote.
Jimmy Kimmel Live was abruptly and indefinitely taken off the air last week after the FCC chair, Brendan Carr, and networks of affiliate stations threatened ABC over comments Kimmel made in a monologue about the MAGA movement's response to Charlie Kirk's assassination.
It was really pointed at Trump himself.
We played the same clip.
A couple days after Kirk's assassination and Trump was on the way to the helicopter and a reporter I think was Fox News reporters.
How are you doing?
Mr. President after your friend's death and he has a smile on his face He says I think very well and right over here is the new ballroom to the White House Clearly showing this wasn't as big a deal to him as as he let on And I did not watch the whole funeral thing yesterday.
I've seen a couple of clips from it.
I'm not gonna get into it.
It's just
It was a Trump rally That's what it was.
Let's just say what it was in any event Kimmel is going to be back on the air tomorrow night on ABC Could I be very interesting how this all breaks out what the real work reasons were we had Keegan Kelly from crack.com on last week when all this happened and Keegan pointed out that a lot of this apparently seemingly
Had to do with the fact that just like Paramount was trying to merge with Skydance for eight billion dollars and needed the FCC's approval and paid Trump 16 million dollars through a bogus lawsuit as essentially payment for that now Disney Trying to do a deal via Hulu and other mergers are like six billion dollars worth needs FCC approval for that
And there's a lot, I haven't even gotten to this yet.
I mean, here's a Hollywood reporter story.
Ex-Disney CEO Michael Eisner weighs in on Jimmy Kimmel's suspension, quote, where is all the leadership gone?
Former Disney CEO Michael Eisner appeared to take aim at Bob Iger, his hand-chosen successor at Disney, and Disney brass on Friday as he railed against the decision to suspend Kimmel.
As we said, quote, whereas all the leadership gone, if not for university presidents, law firm managing partners, and corporate chief executives standing up against bullies, who then will step up for the First Amendment?
Unquote, Eisner wrote on a post on X on Friday.
Eisner called the decision to suspend Kimmel Show, quote, yet another example of out of control intimidation.
He wrote the suspending indefinitely of Jimmy Kimmel's immediately after the FCC chairman's aggressive yet hollow threatening of the Disney Company is yet another example of out of control intimidation Maybe the Constitution should have said Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech or the press except in one's political or financial self-interest unquote Eisner I did I added by the way
For the record, this ex-CEO finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny.
The words of Michael Eisner, former CEO of Disney.
You're listening to the Todd Allball Show uncensored, unabashed, and not afraid to tell a joke.
We work for a great company, one guy.
Well, I'd be just one owner.
We don't we're not owned by a conglomerate and much to our owner and our CEO owes credit last week They put out a statement internally says we're not gonna censor you You don't have to be afraid Obviously fact check what you're saying But we're not playing that game and I appreciate that very much.

about.
Unrelated.
Unrelated.
All right, time once again for What's Worse.
Let's go.
Time once again for what's worse on this portion.
No prize money give way nothing prizes involved But is your chance to have your voice heard across the entire state of Wisconsin rough badger game as Mike Clemens reported Bucky lost to the Terps of Maryland at home 27 to 10 At one point many of the students were chanting fire fickle Today's what's worse timely timely indeed as Mike Lucas says
Badger football in 2025 or Badger football in 1989.
What's worse, Badger football in 2025 or Badger football in 1989.
855-752-4842, 855-752-4842.
You could also text us, but we're...
Doing this contest at the same time.
So might be easier to call 8 5 5 7 5 2 4 8 4 2 8 5 5 7 5 2 4 8 4 2 What's worse badger football in 2025 or badger football in 1989?
offensive coordinators offense.
ready him
now we got grimy
We got grimy with the new off, which the offense is slightly better.
improved.
youngins out there, including Mr. Zalbers, who are not alive yet.
The head coach of Badger football in 1989, Don Morton, who
Dave McClain, great guy, good football coach, got the Badgers to a ball game, did the best he could, died suddenly and tragically of a heart attack.
And they brought in Don Morton for the new era of the Badgers, brought in something called the Veer Offense.
And it was pitiful, terrible, the Badgers tanked.
And that's when Donna Shalala became the University of Wisconsin Madison Chancellor.
Hired Pat Richter away from Oscar Meyer.
He was the CEO there former Badger football player and alum to be the social or the athletic director and they went and hired the defensive coordinator at Notre Dame Away from Lou Holtz after winning the national championship a guy by the name of Barry Alvarez Who of course completely changed the program so what's worse Badger football in 2025 or Badger football
in 1989, 855-752-4842, 855-752-4842.
Jerry Perry, our friend Jeff Perry on the old Facebook line says, I believe he was heir to the Morton Salt fortune.
Don Morton, yes.
You're right, Jeff.
PJ on YouTube says, I said from the first day that fickle was not a good choice.
So Badger football in 2025 is worse.
Uh, look, there's all kinds of stories.
We'll pick up on them throughout the week.
Not going to have time to do them all today.
But, uh, Mike Clemens, our great sports reporter, put me onto this one in, uh, SI headline, Wisconsin Badgers AD, seen with X Packers Cowboys coach after endorsing Luke Vickle.
Chris McIntosh met with the former Super Bowl champion NFL head coach today after the Wisconsin Badgers lost to Maryland.
Again, to speed up the story, McCarthy, of course, won a Super Bowl with Green Bay, went on to coach the Cowboys, got fired last year, part of the ways with Jerry Jones.
He still lives in Wisconsin.
He has a house somewhere, the greater Green Bay area, and his family lives here.
Now there are reports that his daughter might want to come to Wisconsin to play volleyball Maybe that's why they were there together But boy if I'm Luke fickle and my boss is sitting in a suite the next day With a guy who's won a Super Bowl who lives in Wisconsin and is currently unemployed I'm not sure whether that's settling or not.
I'm sweating Other stories out over the weekend great piece and Badger wire
headline of Wisconsin decides to move on from Luke Fickle, who could the target be for the next coach.
And in the Journal Sentinel, Wisconsin AD Chris McIntosh weighs in a Luke Fickle after fans chant for the football coaches.
I was to fix and trouble.
I'm just going to say it.
I mean, I, I have only half jokingly said at the start of the season that he would not make it through the end of the year.
And Alvarez would coach at Minnesota for the acts and
interim.
It's looking, unfortunately, like a pretty good prediction.
Zombers, what's worse?
McCarthy.
I'm going to say Badger Football 2025 is worse because in 89, we had no expectations.
We were, you know, the bar was so low.
But Luke Fickle, I'm sorry, I'm sure he's a nice guy.
He's had going on three years, and the fundamentals aren't getting any better.
It goes beyond wins and losses.
We will talk about wins and losses at Green Bay, a new film called No Packers, No Life.
We're going to discuss it with filmmaker Sean Hannish and Paul de Coney-Berry after this.
Don't go anywhere.
It's the awful show.
Welcome back to the title of the show on the 7 p.m.
right now.
We're 35 minutes down past the hour of 3 o'clock on Monday, September 22nd, 2025, Wisconsin's...
I would say over, I mean, the Brewers, but you got some nasty Twins fans up there in Northwest Wisconsin.
You got some salty Cubs fans in Southern Wisconsin, but overall, I guess got a few of those horned people over Minnesota, but overall, I mean, what's more of a Wisconsin team than Green Bay Packers.
We're going to talk about that next, but let me clearly for the lawyers on the 12th floor separate and remind you completely separate from what we're going to talk about right now.
We have these civic media.
green and gold text to win contest.
You can win $200 cash prize and gold jewelry and two club level indoor seats to Green Bay versus Minnesota and a home game in Green Bay on November 23rd at high noon.
Text the word score.
Right now on the Civic Media app SCORE is the word to text you have until four o'clock to do it to win that cash and gold and be eligible for the grand prize at a football game of a professional team that has their headquarters in Green Bay.
It is a multi-state contest.
Now completely separate from that discussion.
Let's talk about the Packers joining us our whole friends via Streamyard from the movie just a bit outside the story of 1982 Milwaukee Brewers That's a whole nother bottle of Miller High Life Sean Hannish and Paul Geconi Barry of the new film no Packers no life guys.
How you doing?
for having us on.
Yeah, thanks, Todd.
Really excited to be here.
Well, I happen to see Sean happen to be in town for another project and he was still kind by threat of verbal NDA and I'll never speak to you again.
He showed me a little clip of the film and I was instantly in love.
And tell us, guys, how did you come to find this film?
had this amazing success last fall with just a bit outside.
Thanks to you, your listeners, and all the fans around the state of Wisconsin.
That film did really, really well in theaters.
And so we were doing an encore screening of it in Madison at the Wisconsin Film Festival this spring.
And lo and behold, I saw in the program a movie called No Packers, No Life.
And I was like, well, that sounds about the Japanese.
Japanese Packers fans.
And I was like, well, that sounds interesting.
So I went to see it.
And it was a sold out show there at the Barrymore in Madison.
And it was raucous.
People love this movie.
So what we did is, you know, I showed it, I got a link to share with our team, including Paul.
And we all thought it was such a joyful expression of what it means to be
a Green Bay Packers fan that we can get into the story in a minute, but we were like, maybe we can do the same thing with No Packers No Life that we did with Just A Bit Outside.
And fortunately, our good friends at Marcus Theaters agreed.
And they're opening No Packers No Life, this wonderful, joyful documentary about the Japanese Packers' cheering squad on October 17th statewide, which is
amazing.
I can't wait.
And Paul, tell us a little bit about the premise of this story, because my favorite packer is cheerleaders.
There's a group of young people in skirts and pom poms.
No, no, no.
Tell us where this came from, Paul.
Absolutely.
So, Ty Morse, who is a businessman over there in Wisconsin, he does a lot of business in East Asia.
And he was walking through Shibuya, which is the big intersection in Tokyo.
and happened to see a Japanese person walk by wearing a Packers jersey.
And was like, what's going on here?
So he very quietly said, go Pat, go.
And the guy turned around and said, go Pat, go.
And then he said, go Pat, go.
And then he said, go Pat, go.
So then this guy said, hey, come here.
I want to show you something.
Takes him up through these alleys and into a karaoke bar upstairs in the middle of this huge building.
And there is the Japanese Packers cheering squad.
So it's three dozen, four dozen Japanese people who for various reasons have become super fans of the Green Bay Packers.
And they show up at two in the morning on a Monday morning because of the time difference and watch games and cheer on their favorite team.
And so Ty said, you know, this is so incredible.
I have to bring them to Green Bay to watch a game.
So this film follows that entire story.
And it's really, you know, Sean put it best.
It's joyful, and it is such a celebration of how the things we love, in this case, you know, the team that we love, the Green Bay Packers, brings people together from across the world.
So it's just, it is a, it is laughs and smiles from beginning to end.
And we could not be more excited to be sharing this with the statewide in Wisconsin, you know, thanks to our friends at Marcus Theaters.
So we're just, we're just
thrilled.
And you nailed it, I think, Paul.
And Sean, you and I talked about this.
It's a crazy world out there right now, and there's so much divisiveness out there.
And boy, anything that can bring us together as Wisconsinites, as Americans, I'm all for.
And by the way, Zomers, keep me honest, I talked to you after I talked to Sean.
Did I say anything about our conversation that would give anything
I kept my word.
So now now.
That's impressive.
Because I was excited as Sean knows.
But now it's OK.
We can show the trailer, correct?
Yes.
So here from Sean Hannes and Paul Geconi Berry is a trailer for No Packers, No Life.
We're wandering Tokyo, and I see a guy with a Packers jersey on.
And I'm like, no way.
I just quietly say, go back, go.
And he shouts back,
go back, go!
The Japanese Packer cheering team.
Packers number one.
I love Packers.
No Packers, no right.
Insanely passionate.
To a degree which probably most people from Wisconsin are.
Wisconsin!
I said, you guys are welcome to come to the pack any time.
I couldn't believe that.
Why?
And who are you?
The Green Bay way is to host.
And we say, OK, come with us.
We'll
This is creepy!
Go
pack, go!
This concept is human.
So one team in the NFL that's owned by the people.
It gives people a connection that no other team offers.
No
Packers, no life.
No Packers, no life.
All of you Marcus Theaters on October 17th, we have the filmmakers joining us live via StreamYard.
The great Sean Hannes and the great Paul Geconi, Barry, guys.
Just like with a bit outside, when Sean showed it to me on Friday and now I'm seeing it, it just does something to you as Wisconsinites, Sean.
kind of you know on our sleeve is our heart is on our sleeve and we say please come visit us we're like we're a lot of fun and so you know and I love what they say and it's in the trailer there um all of Ty and his friends Jada Merritt and Brandon were like we want to show them the Green Bay way which is essentially the Wisconsin hospitality
And I mean, a lot of these people who were born and raised in Tokyo had never been to the States before.
And imagine their first stop is Green Bay, Wisconsin.
And they get immersed in this community with these wonderful people, like both wonderful visitors and wonderful hosts, and that they shared a lot more in common that you would imagine.
I mean, they compared Green Bay to one of the tourist, kind of like vacation destinations outside of Tokyo.
So there was a real around being a fan of the Green Bay Packers.
Truth lifelong friendships developed and I think you find that whenever you go Anywhere outside of Wisconsin certainly here in Los Angeles or when I've been in in France in Paris I've been to woes bar every city around the world seems to have a packer bar and have a packer following so this is kind of like just taking like dipping our toe into what it's like in Tokyo for these folks and really what they in a way it's a
It holds a mirror up to us as Wisconsinites that is Packer fans and kind of shows us, you know.
What we have is really special with the Packers and people around the world appreciate
it.
Time now for my obligatory plug for the great underground sports pub in Hamosa Beach owned by our friend Kelly Call.
When you're in the greater Los Angeles area and you want
to take
in a Packer game, make sure you go to the underground pub in Hamosa Beach.
I've been there.
The steak sandwich is fantastic.
It is.
It really is.
Paul.
Talk to it.
You guys probably know me.
Packers had a rough game.
It's been a rough day for Packer fans in Wisconsin today.
Just a weird game, losing 13 to 10 yesterday at the Browns.
But Zomers, I were talking before the show.
And Paul, talk a little bit about this.
I think, and I've always seen the trailer, but to me, any time that we can see something that we might take for granted through the lens of someone else, it makes you appreciate what this team means to the state.
Well, I mean you hit the nail on the head there for me.
You know before we made just a bit outside I had never set foot in Wisconsin and The welcome that I received over the course of making that film I mean subsequently I've been to Wisconsin more than anywhere else in the country and the welcome and the hospitality and just the joy and heart of the people of Wisconsin has stuck with me, right?
And so when we saw this film
that is really about that.
I feel like an adoptive son of Wisconsin.
I'm going to put that on my driver's license, adopted by Wisconsin.
Because it is just such a welcoming, warm place filled with joy.
And you have so many great things there.
And people don't necessarily recognize it until they really come and see what the state has to offer.
I mean, yes, Green Bay Packers, everyone knows the Green Bay Packers, but
Not until you actually go to Lambeau not until you actually experience it in person as I did just earlier this year for the first time did it did it click for me and It really is this movie is such a love letter to the Wisconsin way It is such a love letter to the people of Wisconsin and I am beyond delighted to be able to share this with the people of Wisconsin So they can you know as Sean said a mirror reflected back to them they can see
just how important and how special of a place they live in.
So... Sean,
about a minute and a half before the first break here, but talk to us in a minute and a half here, up to that, a little bit about, again, you guys kind of took your experience from just a bit outside, and is it fair to say maybe cleaned up and sweetened some of the visuals and some of the sound to kind of get it ready for greater distribution from the original?
Is that fair to say or not?
Well, I think it's fair to say we took what we learned, yes, from just a bit outside, both the marketing and distribution, but also in, you know...
just the storytelling arena of like, what do people expect when they go to the theater?
And, you know, we shared that with the filmmakers, Craig Benzine, the director and Time Horse, the producer.
And they were incredibly amenable.
In fact, they had been watching just a bit outside and had seen the film.
And we're like, we kind of want to do what those guys did.
And, you know, through an incredible stroke of luck, we met them back there at the Wisconsin Film Festival.
And that's the path they're following.
I mean, listen, the film is
It's 90 minutes of pure joy.
And it's worth just like just a bit outside is worth wearing your jersey to wear your Packer jersey.
Come early.
Have a couple of beers, you know, tailgate and get ready for an incredible joy
ride.
It is a Marcus Theater is starting on October 17th.

So get them while they're hot.
It's fantastic.
I can't wait.
I could talk to you guys for an hour easy and have a beer.
I mean, it's just you're so easy to talk to.
It's so fun.
Sadly, we've got about four minutes left here or so.
Sean, I'll let you take it wherever you want to go and talk about what you think people across the state really need to hear about this film.
Well, I think the thing is, you know, we're really, really proud to be Packer fans here as Wisconsinites.
And I think, you know, anytime, you know, we're at a game and somebody comes to visit, right, from, you know,
New Orleans, you know, a Saints fan or a Rams fan or, you know, somebody like that, a Broncos fan.
You know, we roll out the red carpet for them.
We really do.
And we're like the nicest fan base, you know, that exists.
So I think this movie is about that, but in the extreme.
And so far as you have these people that are, I mean, they're a world apart.
literally they're on the other side of the world in one of the world's largest cities.
And they are almost more fanatical than any Green Bay Packer fan that I've ever met.
That's how much they love this team.
And so there's that tells you the magic of the Green Bay Packers that they, you know, they're people love them around the world.
Why?
Why?
I mean, it's because it's because it's community owned.
It's because it's in a city of 100,000.
It's because, you know, the whole state and the whole region, frankly, the whole country embraces them.
I mean, there's a mystique and a charm about Green Bay, and it's so fun through this story to really, you know, I think those of us who are fans still kind of take it for granted.
You know, I think we do a little bit.
Paul, what if I not asked you about this film yet you want people to know?
Cool, boy.
Um, it, uh...
That's a really good question.
I wish I was prepared for that.
No, um You know, I mean, I think I do.
What does the film mean to you?
The film means to me You know, I think you actually said it best the film This is a film that I think we all need right now It is such a breath of fresh air to spend 90 minutes with people who come together over the team that they love and they bridge language and culture and time zone and everything else
And I just, I tell you, every time I watch it, I've watched it a bunch of times now, I just, I feel my shoulders ease.
I feel my, I just, I feel full with, you know, what fandom can do and how special of a place you guys have to call home.
So, I mean, it's just all, it's just all joy and all love.
I said earlier at the show, another story in college had an opportunity to be around a lot of students from Central America.
And I learned more about myself through them than I think they got out of the education here.
And I get the sense that I'm going to do the same thing as a Packers fan.
I'm going to learn more about living in Wisconsin, being a Packers fan and appreciating that more, watching it through people who are seeing it for the first time.
