Speaker 1 (00:00):
Sunday hang is brought to you by Chalk Natural Supplements
for guys, gals, and nothing in between. Fuel your day
at chalk dot Com, Bold Reference and occasionally random. The
Sunday Hang with Playing Fuck podcast starts now.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
So I talked about on Friday the fact that I
was going to go to a couple of plays. Solo
weather was awful. I went to go see Denzel Washington
J Gillenhall in Othello. That was an incredible experience, really
cool to see one of the greatest actors of his
generation in Denzel Washington playing the title role in a
(00:39):
Broadway performance in a theater that does not seek that
many people, where you could really experience the incredible talent
of someone of Denzel Washington's ability. That was really fun.
I wanted to find something to do. I was in
New York City. Solo weather was awful. I had to
be up super early in the morning, so I don't
want to go out late any for dinner or any
(00:59):
sort of events on Friday or Saturday, because the alarm's
going off at four fifteen in the morning, and so
I knew I had to be up early. I had
to be fresh, I had to be Good on television
for four hours, so I didn't want to do anything late.
I went to a matinee for Athello on Saturday. To
the extent that any of you have trips coming up,
I think that is running until mid June. I thought
it was extraordinary, really impressive. I'm glad that I went.
(01:21):
But I also went to good Night and Good Luck,
which is George Clooney's play about Edward R. Murrow and
the idea being that media should hold powerful people accountable.
And it goes back in time, and you guys know,
I'm a history nerd. It goes back in time to
the era of the House on American Activities Committee with
(01:43):
the junior Senator as he keeps calling him from Wisconsin,
and everything surrounding that entire McCarthy era what was and
was not communist infiltration in America. And Clooney plays Edward
are Murrow and the journalists are the story and the
(02:04):
heroes of this entire play. And it goes back to
again nineteen fifties era America with the McCarthy hearings that
are going on in the Senate and Murrow, George Clooney's
character plays the nineteen fifties crusading journalist Edward R. Murrow,
who was trying to stand up to McCarthy and ends
(02:28):
up in a really contentious relationship before eventually McCarthy is
brought down by some of the overreach of his investigation
and the CBS news journalists in general are the stars
of the play, you guys know, making fun of myself.
I don't like musicals, so I was not gonna go
(02:51):
see any musical, but a Fellow is great, and I
didn't dislike Goodnight and Good Luck. So if some of
you are going on vacation or some of you are
listening to us on WOO, you're going to be in
New York. I didn't have any issues with the play itself.
But at the end of the play, as George Clooney
is delivering a monologue, they start behind him to show
(03:14):
a lot of different media coverage since the nineteen fifties,
and so they show John F. Kennedy being assassinated. They
show Walter Cronkite reacting to it. If I remember correctly,
they show on up Reagan Berlin wall being torn down,
the nineteen nineties era CNN coverage of the First Gulf War.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
George W.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Bush, Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, all of the things that
the media has covered. And as Clooney is delivering a monologue,
he is saying that there's a line in the play
where the CBS executive says, well, at some point, what
if there isn't an Edward R.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Murrow.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
They're fighting for what the truth is and they're trying
to indict both sides. There are clips as the cavalcade
of imagery continues. There are clips from Fox News, from MSNBC.
To their credit, they even include the defense of Joe
Biden's mental acuity as evidence of why you shouldn't trust
(04:21):
the media, and that runs all the way up to
the present day. Of course, they take shots at Fox
News over dominion and all those different things. Again, it's
sort of a matrix like blanket of television imagery behind
Clooney as he is delivering his closing monologue in the
guise of Edward R. Murrow, and then it ends. The
(04:42):
very final image that you see is of Elon Musk
not tapping his chest and then trying to gesture to
all of the people in the crowd to say thank
you from the bottom of my heart, which is what
Musk was trying to do. It does show you the
tapping on the chest. It only shows him doing what
(05:05):
was described in the media as a Nazi salute, And
so it freezes on Musk for the entire theater to see,
and everyone, by and large, at least two thirds seventy
five percent of the audience gasps as if, oh, my goodness,
look at how far America has fallen that Elon Musk
(05:28):
is doing a Nazi salute on the stay in front
of all these people. Except it's not true. And we
talked about this back in January. Again, he taps his heart,
and I'll admit, somewhat awkwardly, is trying to salute the
different parts of the arena, as public speakers might do.
(05:50):
But the way they clipped it, they left it with
him giving what they were clearly intending to show to
be a Nazi salute, and the crowd gasped. And I
just found it to be such a fascinating window into
this sort of New York City liberal mind. And I
would love to talk. I'm sure they won't come on.
(06:12):
I'll have producer Ali invite whoever did the screenwriting for
the play, whatever you call the playwriting, I guess or
George Clooney himself to try to explain what their intent is,
because the entire message of the play is be careful
trusting the media and people in positions of authority, because
(06:35):
they can easily play on your emotions and lead you astray.
And then the play itself ends with George Clooney's play
insinuating that Elon Musk gave a Nazi salute, which he
didn't actually do, and all of the emotional reaction from
inside of the play is, oh, my goodness, can you
(06:58):
believe what this awful right wing Elon Musk is doing.
We've allowed an actual Nazi to ascend into some position
of power. And what I find so incredibly intriguing about
this is, on a beneficial generous reading of this, it's
actually the playwrights ridiculing the vast majority of the audience
(07:23):
that is watching the play. Because you can make an argument,
I don't think it's a crazy one, that they're actually satirizing,
mocking the fact that all of these people think they're
above being played for fools by the media. You can
make that read, and if they did it, it's somewhat
(07:45):
diabolical and it's lacerating in its penetrating criticism of the
people that think they're the smart ones and that they're
above being played. I don't think they're doing that, but
that's a generous reading of what the intent was by
showing that Elon Musk image. More likely, I think George
(08:06):
Clooney and all of the other leftists involved in putting
on this play are lighting the entire message of their
play on fire by using an image that doesn't reflect
what it actually was in an effort to try to
demonstrate how dangerous unchecked government can be. And in actuality,
(08:33):
they did an entire play talking about how great it
is that the media could hold powerful people accountable, and
then at the end of the play they undercut the
entire message of the play by showing that modern media
is actually incapable of giving an honest portrayal and recitation
of what's truly happening in the country. And the vast
(08:56):
majority of the people in that audience had no earthly
idea what the total context of the Musk salute was,
and I think it's incredibly important to talk about this
and hold them accountable. Elon Musk has responded to the
tweets that I put out I'll share what Elon Musk said,
(09:17):
but in a larger context, some of you were saying, well,
I don't know why you would pay to go see
a George Clooney play. I do it for the same
reason that I read The New York Times in the
Washington Post every morning. I don't think you strengthen your
own arguments without confronting the arguments that others are making.
(09:38):
I am confident that I could make left wing arguments
better than most of left wingers because I study and
read them more. The reason why I make the arguments
to you every single day is because I'm confident they're
the best arguments. But you can't cover up your ears
and run and hide from popular culture. You have to
(09:59):
engage with it in order to be able to win arguments.
I would argue one reason why left wingers have started
to do so poorly when they're actually questioned is because
they live in an ecosystem that never challenges the basics
of their opinion, which is why I think Ron DeSantis
wiped the floor with Governor Gavin Newsom of California. If
(10:22):
you remember in the Sean Hannity debate that those guys
had because Newsom is not used to being pressed because
he lives in a world where the media bathes him
in adulation all the time. Me, many of you, a
lot of us who have sought out our own experiences
to reach the conclusions and the opinions that we have,
(10:45):
we've had to grapple with and consider left wing opinion
in a way that they never consider right wing opinion.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
So I'm going to open up the phone lines.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
But I wanted to share that experience with you because
if I hadn't gone, I don't know that very many
people would be talking about something like this at all.
And I also thought that gasp, that moment when the
audience gasped as if Elon Musk were an actual Nazi,
was so revealing because they buy into things that are
(11:16):
beyond a shadow of a doubt, not actually remotely true,
and someone like George Clooney profits off it while lecturing
all of us about the importance of.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Trust and media.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I just it was such an interesting moment for me
on Friday night when I was watching that play and
I had that moment, that shocking revelation of the Nazi salute,
which wasn't actually a Nazi salute, but I felt like
I might have been the only guy in the entire
theater who knew the full context of that, and I
felt like it was so profoundly dishonest by Clooney and
everyone who was involved in the play.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Sunday hang with Clay and Bucks. First of all, I
have not forgotten all right, I'm just gonna say this
on the air. I owe a few debts here. I
owe Clay another steak dinner. I don't know if we're
going to get like a whole dance number. But he
did beat me in the NCAA bracket, and so I will.
He did. He smoked me. I was a little I
talked some trash to try to throw him off his game,
(12:11):
but he won the NCAA bracket challenge against me. Okay,
I owe our friend Jesse Kelly a dinner, and we
can cut this and send it to him. I owe
him a dinner at Red Lobster, where I am to
be photoed putting the lobster bib on him as well
as picking up his meal. Now, I don't know if
Jesse's big time. He's you know, getting He's got a
lot of stations, a lot of audience. Now six to
(12:32):
nine Eastern on Premiere Networks. I don't know if he's
too big time for Red Lobster now, but you know, Jesse,
maybe now you know you got to take off your
top hat and your monocle to crack your lobster tail.
I don't know if you, but I am willing to
make good on my bet. So I just have to
find the time and I'm either in Texas or he's
in Florida, and I will take him out to Red
Lobster as promised. But I had another promise play that
(12:55):
I was reminded of recently. And you know, Producer Mark
worked with me on my show Front, which was which
was a previously six to nine on Premier Networks. Mark
has been with me for years, and you know he
always he's like he was like my mom who made
sure I did my homework, like I did all the
reads that I had to do and everything. I mean,
he was always there. And I said, buddy, you know
(13:15):
what because I made I made some untoward remarks. I'm
just gonna I made some untoward remarks about ice hockey,
and Producer Mark was like, how dare you you will
love it if I take you to if we go
to a game, and I said, all right, we're going
to go to a game, and then COVID happened. I mean,
this is like weeks before COVID, right, so it was
maybe January of twenty twenty or December of twenty twenty,
(13:36):
or do you know, December of twenty nineteen. So I
never got to take into the game. And I was
reminded of this because the team we started talking about
hockey one day, and so they are going to a
Rangers game later this week. I mean I can't go
because I live in Florida now, but Mark Ali and
h and producer Greg, three of our producers are going
to a Rangers game, so they will give us the
(13:57):
full report afterwards. Because I made to promise on the air.
I mean, I can't not send producer Mark, who loves
loves ice hockey, and then I would talk smack about
ice hockey just to get a rise out of him,
because it would it would work every time. He loves
his ice hockey. So Producer Ali, Producer Ali, have you
gone to an ice hockey game before? Is this like
a first for you or have you it's a too clay.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
You've never been to an you've you've never been to
an NHL game?
Speaker 1 (14:24):
No, did she vanish?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Like?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I don't know where she went.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
But that's staggering to me that you could live in
New York City as producer Ali was as a single
woman for many years, and Moby who used to want
to pay.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Still, I'm pretty sure that the Porcelain Album is just
about Moby's heartbreak from producer Ali turning him down. I
don't know totally. I mean, you made him, you made
him famous.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I know Moby's not the most masculine guy, but I
can't believe he didn't try to sweep you off your
feet by taking you to a Rangers game.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Have you been to a Knicks game?
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yes, I've been to soccer.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
I've been to Mets, Yankees baseball.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I would think Buck, you were a single guy in
New York City, is going to like a Yankees of Mets,
a Knicks or Rangers game, not a like go to
dating activity like I would think it's a It's.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
A strong move. The problem is that is that Knicks
tickets are insanely super expensive. Yeah, you know, and even
though the Knicks generally stink and have forever the worst,
the worst operated managed major sports franchise, I would argue,
probably in America.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
So what's the most you ever spent on a first date?
First date, not like somebody you're dating with. Did you
ever like a three hundred dollars four hundred dollars meal?
Like what like what was the standard average cost and
what was like a high end Like I'm really gonna
try to blow it away here.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I try. I honestly, I tried to do a drink first.
I tried to kind of inspect what's going on before
I would commit to a commit to dinner. Some of
you are gonna say this is gonna sound insane, and
in parts of the country, you know, like I was
just in Tucson, and unless you're at the Four Seasons
or something, I don't think you're gonna spend two undred
dollars a dinner a whole lot of places. But that's
pretty much for a dinner for two in New York
City at like a date restaurant table stacks two hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Its alcohol too, right, You're probably having at least wine
or something like with that.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
But I mean you're not getting out of a restaurant.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
When I was growing up, it was more like a
you know, one hundred hundred and twenty, but now table
stacks two hundred dollars. So dating in New York is
a very expensive problem.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
How were did any woman ever pay for you on
a first date?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Any cost? I absolutely never allowed a woman to pay
for or split a first date in my entire life,
including dates where I thought about pulling the fire alarm.
It's like, actually, I was like, how do I get
out of here? Do you to Ali? Have you ever
paid for a first date? Oh?
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Sadly yes, I have as need.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
So how did that happen? Did he say like, hey,
can we split? Or how did how did you end
up paying.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
The old split? Zerou and I wish I could have
pulled the fire alarm.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
To when you were dating the guy? Are you like
this is in? This is over? He's made me pay
for half the ticket on the first date.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Well, I think to your point, they want you to
feel like you're this empowered New York woman.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Oh, man, al, He's been on some dates back in
the day with some male feminists. We're glad you ended
up with Gerard, who is a stunningly handsome man and
an alpha Yale. Uh yeah, just just speaking truth here.
He's kind of an allegian. I mean he's kind of
an Allergian's.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Very very attractive man, dark but literally literally tall, dark,
and handsome.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I mean he say all three things, all three of
those things. Moby is. I don't think any of those things.
I think movie is the opposite.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Poor Moby. Yeah, sure he's getting little super super white.
I don't even know that he contain and not particularly
good looking. Yeah, you've you've done well for yourself, Ali,
So let's get he should have taken her to a
Rangers game.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
They might be together today. Yeah, So I hope you
guys have a great fun. We're gonna hear I want
I want to at least if producer Mark isn't in studios.
I know sometimes he's in studio, sometimes he's outside the studio.
But let's get a talkback from him and you guys
can weigh in about the Arrangers game. I want to
hear producer Ali your first Rangers game experience and producer
Mark buddy, I made you a promise, keeping the promise.
So I'm glad you're gonna go see your Rangers. And
(18:12):
I hope they beat whoever, and I hope there are
many of those those sort of fights that they have
on the ice where they throw the gloves down and
it's very exciting. James from Hackensack on our talkback, This
is CC. Let's go.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Oh on your baby. This is James from Hackensack, New Jersey.
I noticed that you named your son James. That's a
very good move, my friend, a very good move. All
the best teams and your wife.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Thank you, thank you. He's James Speed Sexton. Speed is
in fact my dad's middle name, and unlike me, he
does drive very fast. So you can imagine this has
led to some amusing conversations with state troopers in New
York when they pull him over. So Speed is a
family name, his mother's maiden name. So Dock drives like
a grandma.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
So this is uh, maybe your son will get a
little bit of the lead foot gene.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Some of us like to call it safe driving, Clay
safe driving. H D D. Ken from Lincoln, Nebraska. He
listens on KFA be a great heritage radio station out there.
What's going on.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Congratulations Buck and Carrie, God bless you on your beautiful baby.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Just Ken from Lincoln.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Thank you. That's very that's very kind. We get a
lot of all right here we First of all, thank
you all for the kind words about the baby thing.
I think the one I might have said this at
the beginning of the show, but the one funny thing
was I didn't really think about it because my wife
had just been through you know, it was a long labor.
She was a champ, And as soon as I was
holding this little bundle on my arms, I was like,
can we have three more?
Speaker 7 (19:45):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
And I realized, you know, a lot, a lot easier
for me to say, right, It's pretty easy for me
to be like, let's just keep doing this, like, let's
keep this going, let's keep this train rolling, and Carrie's like,
can I, you know, recover a little bit more? So
I say that it is.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
It is pretty awesome. And I think that for anybody
out there who's had a newborn, it's a lot of work,
but when they start to start to reveal their personality,
it just gets so much better and they start to
smile at you and roll over and all of those
process parts of raising a baby. I mean, you're just
gonna be ecstatic.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
This is to what Clay was talking about with Laura
before M M kelly and pom Beach, Floria, listens on WJ.
I know, let's play it, ninety pairs of shoes.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I've been married to my wife for a few months.
That's been with her for over the year, and when
I first met her she has a little over a thousand.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
I do not get thousand pairs of shoes. Where do
you keep do you have like a tractor trailer full
of shoes in the backyard? Where do you keep a
thousand pairs of shoes?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Ali asked, And I think it's a good question. What
do men have that is way more prominent than in
other words, the sex right, men would have it at
ten x or twenty x. What women have that's inside
of a house, like possessions? The only thing I could
think of tools tools. Okay, tools is a good answer.
(21:11):
I was gonna go on the fashion front T shirts.
I don't ever want to throw away a T shirt.
I bet I have twenty x the number of T
shirts of my wife going all the way back to
like nineteen ninety.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Right, do you wear T shirts until they disintegrate? Because
the most comfortable T shirts are the oldest T shirts?
Because I do unless the hole is visible from like
ten feet away that T shirt's good to go and
Laura gets rid of them. If I tried to get rid.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Of any of her shoes, I think she would murder me,
Like she will get like that T shirt's too old,
I'm gonna throw it out. If I just said, yeah,
I don't really like those shoes, they've been around too
long and I threw it away, I think she would
strangle me to death while I was sleeping. I'm not
even kidding. I think if I tried to get rid
of any of her shoes. Now, to be fair, she
keeps shoes for a really long time. But the amount
(21:59):
of women fascination with shoes and I never really thought
about it. It actually came up on Fox and Friends
over the weekend. Our friend Shannon Bream was talking about
the number of pairs of shoes she had, and Shannon
made a comment that I never really thought about before.
She said, unlike other clothes where you can weigh different amounts,
like pretty much, once you're an adult, you wear the
(22:21):
same size shoe for the rest of your life, So
you would have to have a major weight gain in
order to not be able to put on a shoe.
And I've never really thought about it before, but that
actually makes some sense. And I was blown away because
we're in the process, like I said, of moving into
a new house. And I was blown away when I
walked into the bathroom and just saw all my wife's
(22:43):
shoes arrayed there. But the number of women who've said, oh,
I've got more than that, or you know, for a
woman around middle age like my wife is like that,
you've been in other words, you're not sixteen or eighteen
years old, so you've had time to kind of collect
shoes for a long time. I don't know that there's
anything like it at all.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
GG Lloyd from New Braunfels, Texas listens on WOAI, what's
going on? Is play it?
Speaker 7 (23:09):
Congratulations? Buck? I want to let you know that it
takes a little bit of time before the mother forgets
what it was like in labor and all the days
of approaching labor in about six to eight months. So
don't talk about it, killed man.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
What do you think, Clay good advice?
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Your decision on to have it and when baby number
two is not going to be your decision. There's nothing
that like, I wouldn't even bring it up. Women control
the baby process once you've got two. You feel like
I convinced my wife to have a third. I think
she will. She'll be excited, and I think she'll come
to you. I wouldn't even worry about it. Yeah, that
(23:55):
would be my advice.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Greg and Columbus, Ohio. We're talking about Columbus where we're
number one. What's going on? Greg?
Speaker 5 (24:05):
No my own, but yeah you're on, and yeah, I
you know, I almost got to talk to Rush when
I was up in Grand Rapids thirty years ago and
I came back within a second. Got to see g
Gordon at g Gordon Lydiott Studio twenty eight up there though.
But yeah's nephews and they just think, you know, whenever
(24:30):
I'm around, it's like Uncle Grey and then you know
all that stuff. So I'll let I'll let my brother
do all the work and I'll participate in the joys.
But congrats anyways, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Okay, this is where producer Greg is like pulling his
hair out because he's like, these people are amazing on
the off air, and then you get him up and
they just panic and they go in like twenty different
directions and you don't know where you're going. But they
ended with congrats, which was a good conclusion. Yeah, I
would say that being an uncle, which I was before
I was a dad, it's a great kind of It's
(25:06):
like a great gateway to the dad thing because you
get to spend time around the little person whose family.
Like this is my sister's boy who was super cute
and during COVID, I live very close to them, a
couple blocks away, so I could go over and spend
time and visit. And I was really around for a
lot of his first two years. I mean I would
see him weekly for his first two years. And you know,
(25:29):
it's just great, man, I don't know, it's the whole thing.
I mean. Now I go downstairs and I'll go see
my wife, my baby and my puppy, and life is good. Play.
You know, you're you're a family man. It's just fantastic.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
It is fabulous. And uh, I mean again, have more kids.
The world truly does depend on it. So we need
more kids well raised to grow up. You got a
boy now, especially young men growing up to be heads
of households and help to raise other strong men and women.
Be involved in your family. You're gonna love it. I
(26:04):
know a lot of the dads and granddads out there
have been through what you're going through right now. It's
head spinning, but it's pretty fabulous.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Edward and Tennessee. One more before we go into break. Here,
what have you got for us? Edward? Not a lot? Apparently,
what's going on? I'm gonna start keeping tally there he is?
Speaker 8 (26:27):
Are you there?
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Yeah, you're on a radio show, so you got to
say something or else we're gonna have to go to break.
Speaker 8 (26:32):
Go ahead, Yeah, I just want to say congrats on
the baby. And I wanted to say that my middle
name is Speed. It was my grandmother's maiden name and
they wanted to keep it in the family.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Eure relatically, it's my Yeah, we might be related, my friend,
it's my grandmother's maiden name. And that side of the
family has roots in Kentucky, because.
Speaker 8 (26:53):
Well, I think my grandmother has roots in Ohio.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Well it's not far.
Speaker 8 (27:00):
She actually was living in Mississippi when she married my grandfather.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
All right, well we'll do the family tree off air here.
Maybe we're second cousins or something, but thank you for
calling in with that. But yes, Speed is a family name,
and we're gonna call a little boy Speed. I think
is actually the way we're setting this thing up. But James,
if he wants to just have like a normal name,
you know what I mean. So that's why it's first.
It's like you you're we're both middle names as named people,
but our first names are you know, it would so different.
I was named after my two grandfathers. My mom liked
(27:29):
Richard Clay better than Clay. Richard, I will say, speed
better not be the slowest kid on the team. Well
like you to create that. Yes, we need, we need
to be quick, But I mean, like the Richard Travis show,
it sounds like, I don't know, it sounds like you're
selling time share somewhere.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
I like, could be the Dick Travis Show, and then
maybe people would say it was a totally different kind
of show.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Sunday, drop Buck, you know, there was a team outing
last night play a long standing A long standing debt
was paid, as I had promised my old producer and
still our producer, but my producer when I was doing
a solo show, producer Mock, as he became known to
many of the audience. I told him, I said, because
(28:10):
I was making fun of hockey, And he said, if
you went to see it, you would love it, and
then COVID happened and there was no hockey for a
long time, and then you know, things fast forward. It's
been a few years. So producer Mark, producer Ali, producer
Greg went to see a Rangers game last night. Here's
producer Mock weighing in play. Aa Hey there, it's producer Mark.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Just wanted to pop on and say a big thank
you to Buck for buying us the tickets last night
to the New York Rangers game with my self, producer
Ali and producer Greg. The Rangers may be absolutely atrocious
this season, but it's always an amazing experience to go
to my favorite place in the world, Madison Square Garden,
and to get to see producer Ali see her first
ever live hockey game was truly an incredible experience her
(28:50):
reaction to it, and Greg got to see his first
ever Rangers game at MSG as well. So again, a
big thank you to Buck. We really do appreciate it.
And you've got to get to your own hockey game eventually.
With baby James, maybe he'll become a hockey player one day.
I promised you Carrie and James will love the sport
of hockey live there's absolutely nothing better in the world.
(29:11):
So again, a big thank you to Buck for the tickets,
and to thank you to you and Clay for all
you guys do for us.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
But I know you're buying tickets for everybody.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Good for you.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Yeah, of course this is the that's the debt, the
debt that I didn't know. I somehow missed the debt.
I think I knew they were going to the game. No,
I promised producer Mark on air that I would take
him to a Rangers game, and that, you know, I
would get tickets for us to go to a Rangers
game as pennance for talking smack about ice hockey, right
because Mark, producer Mark loves ice hockey. Now I find
(29:39):
out producer Greg loves ice hockey. He was ready to
throw the gloves on the ground and start throwing some
sluggers over this one. What did you say negative about hockey?
I just thought was you know, I was just poking
him because he loves it so much, you know what
I mean. It's like when I say you're old, even
though we could have been in like the same on
the same high school team. It's just fun, you know.
So it's just giving him the giving him a little
bit of a raz uh.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
We are by the way, Madison Square Garden is a
really cool place to go watch a sporting event. I
have to say I've been there for NCAA tournament games.
Sunday hang is brought to you by Chalk Natural Supplements
for guys, gals, and nothing in between. Fuel your day
at chalk dot Com, Bold Reference and occasionally random. The
Sunday Hang with Playing Fuck podcast starts now.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
So I talked about on Friday the fact that I
was going to go to a couple of plays. Solo
weather was awful. I went to go see Denzel Washington
J Gillenhall in Othello. That was an incredible experience, really
cool to see one of the greatest actors of his
generation in Denzel Washington playing the title role in a
(00:39):
Broadway performance in a theater that does not seek that
many people, where you could really experience the incredible talent
of someone of Denzel Washington's ability. That was really fun.
I wanted to find something to do. I was in
New York City. Solo weather was awful. I had to
be up super early in the morning, so I don't
want to go out late any for dinner or any
(00:59):
sort of events on Friday or Saturday, because the alarm's
going off at four fifteen in the morning, and so
I knew I had to be up early. I had
to be fresh, I had to be Good on television
for four hours, so I didn't want to do anything late.
I went to a matinee for Athello on Saturday. To
the extent that any of you have trips coming up,
I think that is running until mid June. I thought
it was extraordinary, really impressive. I'm glad that I went.
(01:21):
But I also went to good Night and Good Luck,
which is George Clooney's play about Edward R. Murrow and
the idea being that media should hold powerful people accountable.
And it goes back in time, and you guys know,
I'm a history nerd. It goes back in time to
the era of the House on American Activities Committee with
(01:43):
the junior Senator as he keeps calling him from Wisconsin,
and everything surrounding that entire McCarthy era what was and
was not communist infiltration in America. And Clooney plays Edward
are Murrow and the journalists are the story and the
(02:04):
heroes of this entire play. And it goes back to
again nineteen fifties era America with the McCarthy hearings that
are going on in the Senate and Murrow, George Clooney's
character plays the nineteen fifties crusading journalist Edward R. Murrow,
who was trying to stand up to McCarthy and ends
(02:28):
up in a really contentious relationship before eventually McCarthy is
brought down by some of the overreach of his investigation
and the CBS news journalists in general are the stars
of the play, you guys know, making fun of myself.
I don't like musicals, so I was not gonna go
(02:51):
see any musical, but a Fellow is great, and I
didn't dislike Goodnight and Good Luck. So if some of
you are going on vacation or some of you are
listening to us on WOO, you're going to be in
New York. I didn't have any issues with the play itself.
But at the end of the play, as George Clooney
is delivering a monologue, they start behind him to show
(03:14):
a lot of different media coverage since the nineteen fifties,
and so they show John F. Kennedy being assassinated. They
show Walter Cronkite reacting to it. If I remember correctly,
they show on up Reagan Berlin wall being torn down,
the nineteen nineties era CNN coverage of the First Gulf War.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
George W.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Bush, Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, all of the things that
the media has covered. And as Clooney is delivering a monologue,
he is saying that there's a line in the play
where the CBS executive says, well, at some point, what
if there isn't an Edward R.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Murrow.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
They're fighting for what the truth is and they're trying
to indict both sides. There are clips as the cavalcade
of imagery continues. There are clips from Fox News, from MSNBC.
To their credit, they even include the defense of Joe
Biden's mental acuity as evidence of why you shouldn't trust
(04:21):
the media, and that runs all the way up to
the present day. Of course, they take shots at Fox
News over dominion and all those different things. Again, it's
sort of a matrix like blanket of television imagery behind
Clooney as he is delivering his closing monologue in the
guise of Edward R. Murrow, and then it ends. The
(04:42):
very final image that you see is of Elon Musk
not tapping his chest and then trying to gesture to
all of the people in the crowd to say thank
you from the bottom of my heart, which is what
Musk was trying to do. It does show you the
tapping on the chest. It only shows him doing what
(05:05):
was described in the media as a Nazi salute, And
so it freezes on Musk for the entire theater to see,
and everyone, by and large, at least two thirds seventy
five percent of the audience gasps as if, oh, my goodness,
look at how far America has fallen that Elon Musk
(05:28):
is doing a Nazi salute on the stay in front
of all these people. Except it's not true. And we
talked about this back in January. Again, he taps his heart,
and I'll admit, somewhat awkwardly, is trying to salute the
different parts of the arena, as public speakers might do.
(05:50):
But the way they clipped it, they left it with
him giving what they were clearly intending to show to
be a Nazi salute, and the crowd gasped. And I
just found it to be such a fascinating window into
this sort of New York City liberal mind. And I
would love to talk. I'm sure they won't come on.
(06:12):
I'll have producer Ali invite whoever did the screenwriting for
the play, whatever you call the playwriting, I guess or
George Clooney himself to try to explain what their intent is,
because the entire message of the play is be careful
trusting the media and people in positions of authority, because
(06:35):
they can easily play on your emotions and lead you astray.
And then the play itself ends with George Clooney's play
insinuating that Elon Musk gave a Nazi salute, which he
didn't actually do, and all of the emotional reaction from
inside of the play is, oh, my goodness, can you
(06:58):
believe what this awful right wing Elon Musk is doing.
We've allowed an actual Nazi to ascend into some position
of power. And what I find so incredibly intriguing about
this is, on a beneficial generous reading of this, it's
actually the playwrights ridiculing the vast majority of the audience
(07:23):
that is watching the play. Because you can make an argument,
I don't think it's a crazy one, that they're actually satirizing,
mocking the fact that all of these people think they're
above being played for fools by the media. You can
make that read, and if they did it, it's somewhat
(07:45):
diabolical and it's lacerating in its penetrating criticism of the
people that think they're the smart ones and that they're
above being played. I don't think they're doing that, but
that's a generous reading of what the intent was by
showing that Elon Musk image. More likely, I think George
(08:06):
Clooney and all of the other leftists involved in putting
on this play are lighting the entire message of their
play on fire by using an image that doesn't reflect
what it actually was in an effort to try to
demonstrate how dangerous unchecked government can be. And in actuality,
(08:33):
they did an entire play talking about how great it
is that the media could hold powerful people accountable, and
then at the end of the play they undercut the
entire message of the play by showing that modern media
is actually incapable of giving an honest portrayal and recitation
of what's truly happening in the country. And the vast
(08:56):
majority of the people in that audience had no earthly
idea what the total context of the Musk salute was,
and I think it's incredibly important to talk about this
and hold them accountable. Elon Musk has responded to the
tweets that I put out I'll share what Elon Musk said,
(09:17):
but in a larger context, some of you were saying, well,
I don't know why you would pay to go see
a George Clooney play. I do it for the same
reason that I read The New York Times in the
Washington Post every morning. I don't think you strengthen your
own arguments without confronting the arguments that others are making.
(09:38):
I am confident that I could make left wing arguments
better than most of left wingers because I study and
read them more. The reason why I make the arguments
to you every single day is because I'm confident they're
the best arguments. But you can't cover up your ears
and run and hide from popular culture. You have to
(09:59):
engage with it in order to be able to win arguments.
I would argue one reason why left wingers have started
to do so poorly when they're actually questioned is because
they live in an ecosystem that never challenges the basics
of their opinion, which is why I think Ron DeSantis
wiped the floor with Governor Gavin Newsom of California. If
(10:22):
you remember in the Sean Hannity debate that those guys
had because Newsom is not used to being pressed because
he lives in a world where the media bathes him
in adulation all the time. Me, many of you, a
lot of us who have sought out our own experiences
to reach the conclusions and the opinions that we have,
(10:45):
we've had to grapple with and consider left wing opinion
in a way that they never consider right wing opinion.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
So I'm going to open up the phone lines.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
But I wanted to share that experience with you because
if I hadn't gone, I don't know that very many
people would be talking about something like this at all.
And I also thought that gasp, that moment when the
audience gasped as if Elon Musk were an actual Nazi,
was so revealing because they buy into things that are
(11:16):
beyond a shadow of a doubt, not actually remotely true,
and someone like George Clooney profits off it while lecturing
all of us about the importance of.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Trust and media.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I just it was such an interesting moment for me
on Friday night when I was watching that play and
I had that moment, that shocking revelation of the Nazi salute,
which wasn't actually a Nazi salute, but I felt like
I might have been the only guy in the entire
theater who knew the full context of that, and I
felt like it was so profoundly dishonest by Clooney and
everyone who was involved in the play.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Sunday hang with Clay and Bucks. First of all, I
have not forgotten all right, I'm just gonna say this
on the air. I owe a few debts here. I
owe Clay another steak dinner. I don't know if we're
going to get like a whole dance number. But he
did beat me in the NCAA bracket, and so I will.
He did. He smoked me. I was a little I
talked some trash to try to throw him off his game,
(12:11):
but he won the NCAA bracket challenge against me. Okay,
I owe our friend Jesse Kelly a dinner, and we
can cut this and send it to him. I owe
him a dinner at Red Lobster, where I am to
be photoed putting the lobster bib on him as well
as picking up his meal. Now, I don't know if
Jesse's big time. He's you know, getting He's got a
lot of stations, a lot of audience. Now six to
(12:32):
nine Eastern on Premiere Networks. I don't know if he's
too big time for Red Lobster now, but you know, Jesse,
maybe now you know you got to take off your
top hat and your monocle to crack your lobster tail.
I don't know if you, but I am willing to
make good on my bet. So I just have to
find the time and I'm either in Texas or he's
in Florida, and I will take him out to Red
Lobster as promised. But I had another promise play that
(12:55):
I was reminded of recently. And you know, Producer Mark
worked with me on my show Front, which was which
was a previously six to nine on Premier Networks. Mark
has been with me for years, and you know he
always he's like he was like my mom who made
sure I did my homework, like I did all the
reads that I had to do and everything. I mean,
he was always there. And I said, buddy, you know
(13:15):
what because I made I made some untoward remarks. I'm
just gonna I made some untoward remarks about ice hockey,
and Producer Mark was like, how dare you you will
love it if I take you to if we go
to a game, and I said, all right, we're going
to go to a game, and then COVID happened. I mean,
this is like weeks before COVID, right, so it was
maybe January of twenty twenty or December of twenty twenty,
(13:36):
or do you know, December of twenty nineteen. So I
never got to take into the game. And I was
reminded of this because the team we started talking about
hockey one day, and so they are going to a
Rangers game later this week. I mean I can't go
because I live in Florida now, but Mark Ali and
h and producer Greg, three of our producers are going
to a Rangers game, so they will give us the
(13:57):
full report afterwards. Because I made to promise on the air.
I mean, I can't not send producer Mark, who loves
loves ice hockey, and then I would talk smack about
ice hockey just to get a rise out of him,
because it would it would work every time. He loves
his ice hockey. So Producer Ali, Producer Ali, have you
gone to an ice hockey game before? Is this like
a first for you or have you it's a too clay.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
You've never been to an you've you've never been to
an NHL game?
Speaker 1 (14:24):
No, did she vanish?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Like?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I don't know where she went.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
But that's staggering to me that you could live in
New York City as producer Ali was as a single
woman for many years, and Moby who used to want
to pay.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Still, I'm pretty sure that the Porcelain Album is just
about Moby's heartbreak from producer Ali turning him down. I
don't know totally. I mean, you made him, you made
him famous.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I know Moby's not the most masculine guy, but I
can't believe he didn't try to sweep you off your
feet by taking you to a Rangers game.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Have you been to a Knicks game?
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yes, I've been to soccer.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
I've been to Mets, Yankees baseball.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I would think Buck, you were a single guy in
New York City, is going to like a Yankees of Mets,
a Knicks or Rangers game, not a like go to
dating activity like I would think it's a It's.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
A strong move. The problem is that is that Knicks
tickets are insanely super expensive. Yeah, you know, and even
though the Knicks generally stink and have forever the worst,
the worst operated managed major sports franchise, I would argue,
probably in America.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
So what's the most you ever spent on a first date?
First date, not like somebody you're dating with. Did you
ever like a three hundred dollars four hundred dollars meal?
Like what like what was the standard average cost and
what was like a high end Like I'm really gonna
try to blow it away here.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
I try. I honestly, I tried to do a drink first.
I tried to kind of inspect what's going on before
I would commit to a commit to dinner. Some of
you are gonna say this is gonna sound insane, and
in parts of the country, you know, like I was
just in Tucson, and unless you're at the Four Seasons
or something, I don't think you're gonna spend two undred
dollars a dinner a whole lot of places. But that's
pretty much for a dinner for two in New York
City at like a date restaurant table stacks two hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Its alcohol too, right, You're probably having at least wine
or something like with that.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
But I mean you're not getting out of a restaurant.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
When I was growing up, it was more like a
you know, one hundred hundred and twenty, but now table
stacks two hundred dollars. So dating in New York is
a very expensive problem.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
How were did any woman ever pay for you on
a first date?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Any cost? I absolutely never allowed a woman to pay
for or split a first date in my entire life,
including dates where I thought about pulling the fire alarm.
It's like, actually, I was like, how do I get
out of here? Do you to Ali? Have you ever
paid for a first date? Oh?
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Sadly yes, I have as need.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
So how did that happen? Did he say like, hey,
can we split? Or how did how did you end
up paying.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
The old split? Zerou and I wish I could have
pulled the fire alarm.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
To when you were dating the guy? Are you like
this is in? This is over? He's made me pay
for half the ticket on the first date.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Well, I think to your point, they want you to
feel like you're this empowered New York woman.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Oh, man, al, He's been on some dates back in
the day with some male feminists. We're glad you ended
up with Gerard, who is a stunningly handsome man and
an alpha Yale. Uh yeah, just just speaking truth here.
He's kind of an allegian. I mean he's kind of
an Allergian's.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Very very attractive man, dark but literally literally tall, dark,
and handsome.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I mean he say all three things, all three of
those things. Moby is. I don't think any of those things.
I think movie is the opposite.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Poor Moby. Yeah, sure he's getting little super super white.
I don't even know that he contain and not particularly
good looking. Yeah, you've you've done well for yourself, Ali,
So let's get he should have taken her to a
Rangers game.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
They might be together today. Yeah, So I hope you
guys have a great fun. We're gonna hear I want
I want to at least if producer Mark isn't in studios.
I know sometimes he's in studio, sometimes he's outside the studio.
But let's get a talkback from him and you guys
can weigh in about the Arrangers game. I want to
hear producer Ali your first Rangers game experience and producer
Mark buddy, I made you a promise, keeping the promise.
So I'm glad you're gonna go see your Rangers. And
(18:12):
I hope they beat whoever, and I hope there are
many of those those sort of fights that they have
on the ice where they throw the gloves down and
it's very exciting. James from Hackensack on our talkback, This
is CC. Let's go.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Oh on your baby. This is James from Hackensack, New Jersey.
I noticed that you named your son James. That's a
very good move, my friend, a very good move. All
the best teams and your wife.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Thank you, thank you. He's James Speed Sexton. Speed is
in fact my dad's middle name, and unlike me, he
does drive very fast. So you can imagine this has
led to some amusing conversations with state troopers in New
York when they pull him over. So Speed is a
family name, his mother's maiden name. So Dock drives like
a grandma.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
So this is uh, maybe your son will get a
little bit of the lead foot gene.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Some of us like to call it safe driving, Clay
safe driving. H D D. Ken from Lincoln, Nebraska. He
listens on KFA be a great heritage radio station out there.
What's going on.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Congratulations Buck and Carrie, God bless you on your beautiful baby.
Speaker 5 (19:22):
Just Ken from Lincoln.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Thank you. That's very that's very kind. We get a
lot of all right here we First of all, thank
you all for the kind words about the baby thing.
I think the one I might have said this at
the beginning of the show, but the one funny thing
was I didn't really think about it because my wife
had just been through you know, it was a long labor.
She was a champ, And as soon as I was
holding this little bundle on my arms, I was like,
can we have three more?
Speaker 7 (19:45):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (19:46):
And I realized, you know, a lot, a lot easier
for me to say, right, It's pretty easy for me
to be like, let's just keep doing this, like, let's
keep this going, let's keep this train rolling, and Carrie's like,
can I, you know, recover a little bit more? So
I say that it is.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
It is pretty awesome. And I think that for anybody
out there who's had a newborn, it's a lot of work,
but when they start to start to reveal their personality,
it just gets so much better and they start to
smile at you and roll over and all of those
process parts of raising a baby. I mean, you're just
gonna be ecstatic.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
This is to what Clay was talking about with Laura
before M M kelly and pom Beach, Floria, listens on WJ.
I know, let's play it, ninety pairs of shoes.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I've been married to my wife for a few months.
That's been with her for over the year, and when
I first met her she has a little over a thousand.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
I do not get thousand pairs of shoes. Where do
you keep do you have like a tractor trailer full
of shoes in the backyard? Where do you keep a
thousand pairs of shoes?
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Ali asked, And I think it's a good question. What
do men have that is way more prominent than in
other words, the sex right, men would have it at
ten x or twenty x. What women have that's inside
of a house, like possessions? The only thing I could
think of tools tools. Okay, tools is a good answer.
(21:11):
I was gonna go on the fashion front T shirts.
I don't ever want to throw away a T shirt.
I bet I have twenty x the number of T
shirts of my wife going all the way back to
like nineteen ninety.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Right, do you wear T shirts until they disintegrate? Because
the most comfortable T shirts are the oldest T shirts?
Because I do unless the hole is visible from like
ten feet away that T shirt's good to go and
Laura gets rid of them. If I tried to get rid.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Of any of her shoes, I think she would murder me,
Like she will get like that T shirt's too old,
I'm gonna throw it out. If I just said, yeah,
I don't really like those shoes, they've been around too
long and I threw it away, I think she would
strangle me to death while I was sleeping. I'm not
even kidding. I think if I tried to get rid
of any of her shoes. Now, to be fair, she
keeps shoes for a really long time. But the amount
(21:59):
of women fascination with shoes and I never really thought
about it. It actually came up on Fox and Friends
over the weekend. Our friend Shannon Bream was talking about
the number of pairs of shoes she had, and Shannon
made a comment that I never really thought about before.
She said, unlike other clothes where you can weigh different amounts,
like pretty much, once you're an adult, you wear the
(22:21):
same size shoe for the rest of your life, So
you would have to have a major weight gain in
order to not be able to put on a shoe.
And I've never really thought about it before, but that
actually makes some sense. And I was blown away because
we're in the process, like I said, of moving into
a new house. And I was blown away when I
walked into the bathroom and just saw all my wife's
(22:43):
shoes arrayed there. But the number of women who've said, oh,
I've got more than that, or you know, for a
woman around middle age like my wife is like that,
you've been in other words, you're not sixteen or eighteen
years old, so you've had time to kind of collect
shoes for a long time. I don't know that there's
anything like it at all.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
GG Lloyd from New Braunfels, Texas listens on WOAI, what's
going on? Is play it?
Speaker 7 (23:09):
Congratulations? Buck? I want to let you know that it
takes a little bit of time before the mother forgets
what it was like in labor and all the days
of approaching labor in about six to eight months. So
don't talk about it, killed man.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
What do you think, Clay good advice?
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Your decision on to have it and when baby number
two is not going to be your decision. There's nothing
that like, I wouldn't even bring it up. Women control
the baby process once you've got two. You feel like
I convinced my wife to have a third. I think
she will. She'll be excited, and I think she'll come
to you. I wouldn't even worry about it. Yeah, that
(23:55):
would be my advice.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Greg and Columbus, Ohio. We're talking about Columbus where we're
number one. What's going on? Greg?
Speaker 5 (24:05):
No my own, but yeah you're on, and yeah, I
you know, I almost got to talk to Rush when
I was up in Grand Rapids thirty years ago and
I came back within a second. Got to see g
Gordon at g Gordon Lydiott Studio twenty eight up there though.
But yeah's nephews and they just think, you know, whenever
(24:30):
I'm around, it's like Uncle Grey and then you know
all that stuff. So I'll let I'll let my brother
do all the work and I'll participate in the joys.
But congrats anyways, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Okay, this is where producer Greg is like pulling his
hair out because he's like, these people are amazing on
the off air, and then you get him up and
they just panic and they go in like twenty different
directions and you don't know where you're going. But they
ended with congrats, which was a good conclusion. Yeah, I
would say that being an uncle, which I was before
I was a dad, it's a great kind of It's
(25:06):
like a great gateway to the dad thing because you
get to spend time around the little person whose family.
Like this is my sister's boy who was super cute
and during COVID, I live very close to them, a
couple blocks away, so I could go over and spend
time and visit. And I was really around for a
lot of his first two years. I mean I would
see him weekly for his first two years. And you know,
(25:29):
it's just great, man, I don't know, it's the whole thing.
I mean. Now I go downstairs and I'll go see
my wife, my baby and my puppy, and life is good. Play.
You know, you're you're a family man. It's just fantastic.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
It is fabulous. And uh, I mean again, have more kids.
The world truly does depend on it. So we need
more kids well raised to grow up. You got a
boy now, especially young men growing up to be heads
of households and help to raise other strong men and women.
Be involved in your family. You're gonna love it. I
(26:04):
know a lot of the dads and granddads out there
have been through what you're going through right now. It's
head spinning, but it's pretty fabulous.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Edward and Tennessee. One more before we go into break. Here,
what have you got for us? Edward? Not a lot? Apparently,
what's going on? I'm gonna start keeping tally there he is?
Speaker 8 (26:27):
Are you there?
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Yeah, you're on a radio show, so you got to
say something or else we're gonna have to go to break.
Speaker 8 (26:32):
Go ahead, Yeah, I just want to say congrats on
the baby. And I wanted to say that my middle
name is Speed. It was my grandmother's maiden name and
they wanted to keep it in the family.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Eure relatically, it's my Yeah, we might be related, my friend,
it's my grandmother's maiden name. And that side of the
family has roots in Kentucky, because.
Speaker 8 (26:53):
Well, I think my grandmother has roots in Ohio.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Well it's not far.
Speaker 8 (27:00):
She actually was living in Mississippi when she married my grandfather.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
All right, well we'll do the family tree off air here.
Maybe we're second cousins or something, but thank you for
calling in with that. But yes, Speed is a family name,
and we're gonna call a little boy Speed. I think
is actually the way we're setting this thing up. But James,
if he wants to just have like a normal name,
you know what I mean. So that's why it's first.
It's like you you're we're both middle names as named people,
but our first names are you know, it would so different.
I was named after my two grandfathers. My mom liked
(27:29):
Richard Clay better than Clay. Richard, I will say, speed
better not be the slowest kid on the team. Well
like you to create that. Yes, we need, we need
to be quick, But I mean, like the Richard Travis show,
it sounds like, I don't know, it sounds like you're
selling time share somewhere.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
I like, could be the Dick Travis Show, and then
maybe people would say it was a totally different kind
of show.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Sunday, drop Buck, you know, there was a team outing
last night play a long standing A long standing debt
was paid, as I had promised my old producer and
still our producer, but my producer when I was doing
a solo show, producer Mock, as he became known to
many of the audience. I told him, I said, because
(28:10):
I was making fun of hockey, And he said, if
you went to see it, you would love it, and
then COVID happened and there was no hockey for a
long time, and then you know, things fast forward. It's
been a few years. So producer Mark, producer Ali, producer
Greg went to see a Rangers game last night. Here's
producer Mock weighing in play. Aa Hey there, it's producer Mark.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Just wanted to pop on and say a big thank
you to Buck for buying us the tickets last night
to the New York Rangers game with my self, producer
Ali and producer Greg. The Rangers may be absolutely atrocious
this season, but it's always an amazing experience to go
to my favorite place in the world, Madison Square Garden,
and to get to see producer Ali see her first
ever live hockey game was truly an incredible experience her
(28:50):
reaction to it, and Greg got to see his first
ever Rangers game at MSG as well. So again, a
big thank you to Buck. We really do appreciate it.
And you've got to get to your own hockey game eventually.
With baby James, maybe he'll become a hockey player one day.
I promised you Carrie and James will love the sport
of hockey live there's absolutely nothing better in the world.
(29:11):
So again, a big thank you to Buck for the tickets,
and to thank you to you and Clay for all
you guys do for us.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
But I know you're buying tickets for everybody.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Good for you.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Yeah, of course this is the that's the debt, the
debt that I didn't know. I somehow missed the debt.
I think I knew they were going to the game. No,
I promised producer Mark on air that I would take
him to a Rangers game, and that, you know, I
would get tickets for us to go to a Rangers
game as pennance for talking smack about ice hockey, right
because Mark, producer Mark loves ice hockey. Now I find
(29:39):
out producer Greg loves ice hockey. He was ready to
throw the gloves on the ground and start throwing some
sluggers over this one. What did you say negative about hockey?
I just thought was you know, I was just poking
him because he loves it so much, you know what
I mean. It's like when I say you're old, even
though we could have been in like the same on
the same high school team. It's just fun, you know.
So it's just giving him the giving him a little
bit of a raz uh.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
We are by the way, Madison Square Garden is a
really cool place to go watch a sporting event. I
have to say I've been there for NCAA tournament games.
