The 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 reverence, and occasionally random
The Sunday Hang with playing podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It starts now.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Some of you coming to my defense on the East
scooter thing, which is very kind of you. You know,
it's efficient, Clay. I'm sorry, some of us want to
keep our carbon footprint small. There is a zero percent
chance if I were single that I would have scooted anywhere.
I mean I would have I would have been late
for every meeting just because I would have been afraid
that some would come by and see me on the
(00:39):
scooter and never date me again. This is gonna sound
like I'm making it up, but I'm not making it up.
But I feel like we're all family here, so I
will tell you this. Okay, During COVID and a couple
of years before I met my wife, when I was
a single guy, I was you know, I was out,
you know, trying to meet the trying to meet the
love of my life, my beloved Carrie, and I hadn't
(01:01):
met her yet, and it was a couple of years
before and I had the scooter because you know, during COVID,
that was when it was great to have the scooter
because you could fly all over New York. Not fly,
but you could move really fast all over near There
are very few people out and about because that time,
so I could get all over but you know, restaurants
will be open sometimes. And I remember I was like,
you know what I was like, for this, this is
true story. I was like, for this, it was a
(01:22):
second date to be it wasn't a first date. I
was like, but for this date, you know what, I'm
just gonna I'm gonna show up with my scooter because
it's convenient, and like, I'll give her, I'll give her
a ride home on my little East scooter. And I
didn't really think this through. You know, she was a
she's a petit lady, she wasn't big. I didn't really
think this through though. Those things are not meant for
two people. So when she got on the back of
(01:44):
it and we tried to go, I'm not kidding. We
were going zero point five miles an hour. It was
moving walking, but oh walking is way faster.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
We were moving, but it was moving at the speed.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Of like a Toddler's Tanka truck, you know what I
mean when it kind of goes on the driveway and
we had a we had a sustained laugh at my expense.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
And uh, I don't think there was a third date.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
We did have there, you go, I wouldn't have kept
dating you. I mean I would have been like, this
guy's riding a scooter. He won't even spend he won't
even splurge for an uber ride back home. It's probably cold,
the winds. I do wish there was there was video
of my face though, when like cause you know, I
hit the throttle and I didn't know and and it
kind of like lurched for and then it was just
(02:29):
at you know, at turtle speed. I mean it was
this old ladies with walkers were telling me to get
out of the way, slow poke.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
It was really not good.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I remember, this is kind of funny date story, not
for me. I've been married for twenty like five years
or whatever. The heck it is twenty two years, next year,
next month, this month, anyway, a long time, twenty one years.
And uh, but I remember a girl being like, yeah,
I went on a date. She's like, I'm a little
We used to do. Uh, I do anonymous mailbags at
(02:59):
out Care and I would answer a lot of questions.
Girl was like, yeah, I went on a first date.
It's like, I just I don't really feel like he.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Was into me.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
And I was like, you know in the email, and
she was like and as evidence of that, she said,
he paid with a gift certificate. And I was like,
I was like, I'm sorry, ladies, if you go out
to dinner with a guy on the very first date
and he pays with a gift certificate, then he is
(03:25):
really not that into you because he's not even willing
to pull out the actual credit card. And it's even
funnier if it's like can you just take the twenty
you know, it's like a twenty five dollars gift certificate.
So you know, I'm just telling you. I don't believe
maybe there's somebody listening. I don't believe there's a single
marriage that has ever resulted from a first date or
a man paid for the dinner with a gift certificate,
(03:47):
because I think women are like like, look, i mean
I'm not saying that that I expected the absolute sun
of movement stars on the first date, but you took
me to app or Outback and you whipped out like
the Outback gift certificate for the Bloomin Onion. I'm just
not saying that that's the guy that you want to
(04:09):
spend the rest of your life with. Maybe there's somebody
out there, if there's a single person listening who went
out on a first date and the guy she's with
paid with a gift certificate gift card, then then maybe
I'm wrong. I don't think there's a single relationship that
has ever come from a first date gift certificate. So uh,
(04:30):
that is my advice to men out there that if
you're dating a girl, or if you're the girl, if
he's paying for you with a gift certificate, he's not
that into you. He wasn't even willing to actually use
real cash. He's using what his mom gave him for
Christmas to take you. However, Bloomin Onions still preferable to
splitting the check on the first date. I will say, so,
(04:52):
it's it's a little it's you know, this is in
this is purgatory, this is like in between, right. I mean,
it's not great, but not terrible. Guys, I gotta you
gotta up that even if you don't like her, even
if she's a leg, even if she's a Bernie Sanders
voting purple haired. You didn't know this is what you
were getting into date. You pay on the first did guys,
don't don't. Don't make it. We have young we have
(05:12):
young single men listeners here. Twenties, thirties, forties, guys were
single out there. You pay on the first date.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Boys.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I agree, it's just the way it is. There's no
way fans or butts. All right, Norman in NYC wants
to weigh in.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Norman stood laughing about the credit card, the credit gift card.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Gift card. You can't do it, Norman, you can't do it.
You've probably been married for thirty years. But I'm trying
to help the young man out there. Don't screw this up.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
My god, God was given to him by his mother.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Oh my god, it's like you got a Christmas gift
card for the outback steakhouse. You're not even willing to
take and pay the girls dinner for yourself. Your mom
and dad are paying for it.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Just can't do it.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Oh my god, Oh my god, you got Norman.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
You have to do you have to come back to Norman.
Norman's Norman's who tickled over there?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Let me say this, I think, first and foremost, Washington,
d C should be the safest community on the planet.
Just and foremost. That is where the President of the
United States, dignitaries come from all over the world. There
is no excuses, no excuses for one thing to be
going wrong in Washington, d C. The second thing is
(06:21):
I agree with the presidents and in the National Guard there,
and I think that it's important that the mayor takes
the pride off the shoulder and say I'm getting additional
help in Washington, DC to be able to combat the
problems that we face. I think that what I would
do is pair up one law enforcement officer from the
(06:41):
district with one National guardsman to give it more power,
to give people more comfortability. The word national Guard is
scaring people. It's the additional law enforcement. New York City
talks about the fact that we need more police. Well, Hull,
take the four thousand or five thousand National guardsmen that
want to be deployed, give them the opportunity to work
(07:02):
alongside the police.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Can I Can I point out something as well, Norman,
All the people that don't totally totally agree with your
sentiments here. All the people that are freaking out about
Trump deploying National Guard to help with law enforcement, they
were fine with National Guard holding empty M sixteens at
airports during COVID as if that had anything to do
with anything. I mean, they just had people standing there
(07:24):
with guns making you fill out contact tracing forms. What
was the National Guard gonna do? Hand me some extra cleanexes.
It was absurd, and they were all.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Fine with that.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I just want to point out no purpose for them
whatsoever other than a show of force, because we were
all supposed to obey and bend the need of fauci
and vile.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Third.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Oh absolutely, and let me see this. Tell a mother
that lost her child it's a gun violence that she
doesn't want more police in the community. Hey man, the
father that doesn't have one, Come on, man, get with potis.
Let's do what we gotta do. Yes, we're in untrodded
territories in some area, but the ship is turning. Let's
get on board, turn the ship and going in a
(08:02):
different direction. Because all of this other stuff from the
Democrats have not been working. It's just been kicking the
can down the road.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
That's great call, Norman.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I agree with him, and you mentioned this yesterday, Buck,
and we'll play a cut for you. Maybe in a
little bit, we're gonna take a couple more calls. But
I think Muriel Bowser, the mayor of DC, actually agrees
with Trump, but politically is not able to say that.
Listen to her answers and how she's trying to thread
that fine line. I think she welcomes the support.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
She is not.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I if this were happening in Chicago, Mayor Johnson would
be screaming about Nazism and racism and Trump as like
the head of the KKK. I mean, it would be
complete meltdown. Okay, complete meltdown. That's not what you're getting
from Mayor Bowser.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
She was pretty you know.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I mean she's saying, I don't think we needed to
try and defend her record a little. Maybe we should
get to some of those get some of those clips.
She's not coming out swinging hard at Trump on these
things because I think she wants to leave open the
possibility of taking credit for it, which which if it
gets better, she'll take a victory lap. And you know what,
if she doesn't stand in the way fine, you know,
(09:12):
I mean, as long as it's getting better there, because
we all know that people will understand that Trump was
the instigator of these improvements. But yeah, I think it's
it's very interesting to see how that dynamic plays out.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
We've also got here next. Thank you David and Florida.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Yes, hey, listen, buck, when when the when the bike
went dead?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Who pushed?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Who taking it back?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
What happened when the scooter was failing? What did you do?
Did you like just kick her to the curb and
ride home?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I I, I will tell you, I called an uber
for her to take her home, and then I kind
of sadly, I didn't really want to ride the ride
the scooter anymore. I kind of walked it home. You
know when you skin your knee as a kid on
your bike and you were like unsure of it, you know,
and you're like, I don't know, like I was skinned
my knee, kind of how I felt about my EA scooter.
It was like I was defeated and I just walked
(10:03):
alongside it in sorrow alone.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Yeah, I took your soccer ball and went home. So,
you know, the solutions today for DC and the Mayor's
solution is as ridiculous as it was when Marion Barry
was in office and the early nineties it was the
murder capital of the world, I think a couple of
years consecutive. And that solution was to change the name
of the basketball team from the Washington Bullets because it
(10:27):
has to the Washington Wizards. That was her solution, I remember,
and it's just completely out of ridiculous at at a
ridiculous level.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Now.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
So I want to ask you, I want to ask
you a question real quick. I know, maybe maybe fourth
of July or something. Could you guys maybe play an
old Paul Harvey rest of the story the signers of
the Declaration of Independence. It's a great it's a great
rest of the story.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Man.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
I think everybody appreciated so well.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
That's fun.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
That is a question for rights for people way smarter
than me, uh, meaning producer Alli can can look into it.
By the way, I will say, two d and fiftieth anniversary.
I just saw this come across the Twitter wire here
buck UFC fight South Lawn July fourth, twenty twenty sixth.
(11:14):
That is according to Dana White, and I think Avanka
Trump is working on trying to put this thing on.
They are going to do the fight and then have
the fireworks. I'm gonna try to pull some strings for us,
Buck to get that's one of the coolest sporting events
of all time to see a UFC competition on the
(11:34):
south lawn of the White House and have it sort
of connected also simultaneously to the extraordinary July fourth, on
the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the United States.
It doesn't get much trumpier than that. But that, by
the way, speaking of July fourth is underway right now.
Let's get one more quickly in here, Barney and North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
What you got for.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Us, yeah, is with DC and all these other big cities,
they're all democratic run in Democratic run states, and they're
all anti Second Amendments. And is there any correlation with
the violence and crime? We're dead?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Uh, thank you for the call. Barney.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I bet was a big fan of Andy Griffith back
in the day. Maybe named after the legendary Barney Fife.
That is, by the way, one of the all time
great shows. Do you ever grow up watching Andy Griffith show?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Buck?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Oh No, Andy Griffith Show is still so good. Black
and white, Andy Griffith before they went to the color
version old school Andy Griffith shows Opie everything else and
be so good. So what's interesting is we have seen
skyrocketing levels of firearms purchase.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Since twenty eighteen ish.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I think if any firearm maker out there were looking
at it, there are way more guns on the street
now than ever before. And many of the places with
the highest rates of gun ownership are actually seeing much
lower rates of gun violence, and many of the places
with the most restrictive laws on gun ownership are seeing
(13:16):
record high levels of gun violence. Again, it is the
legal gun owner, as many of you know out there,
is actually one of the most law abiding people. Like
leave aside gun crime, they actually commit crimes that infinitely
lower rates. Anybody. Conceal carry permit holders in this country
have a lower violation of the law rate than law enforcement.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Yeah, that's a heck of a stat Sunday hang with
Clay and Buck Todd in Mississippi has called in what
you got for us?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Todd. Yeah, you guys were talking about you know, it's
kind of low brow to use a gift certificate or
you know, a restaurant. I'm thinking, the hell wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
You on a first date.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
On a first date, you're trying to impress a girl
and she's like, hey, thank you for taking me to
the dinner. And you're like, well, I just want you
to know my mom is basically paying for this date.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
You're not worth my credit card.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
No, see, I think gu's where you're wrong here, Clay.
You know somebody gave you a gift certificate. I know
you like you know wherever I'm going to give you
this gift certificate and you saying, Okay, I'm gonna save
this so you know it's my favorite restaurant. If I've
got a hot date, I'm going to be able to
bring her there. I might be short of money in
(14:39):
that week, but I'm going to save it for a
special occasion, and you're going to use your gift certificate that.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I think Todd has used some gift certificates on. I
think Todd, are you married.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Long since Mary? Yes?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Okay, on the first date that you went on with
your wife, did you use a gift certificate?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
They didn't have.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Okay, that's why you're married today, Todd. That's why you're
married today. She would have been like, I can't stay
with this guy. He just used a gift certificate on
our very first date.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
We'll have some fun. You guys can weigh in. I
love you, Todd, thank you for calling it in.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Thank you than I'm glad you're married, because you would
have made a poor decision and tried to use a
gift stificate with the love of your life and she
would have said, I don't think I can trust this guy.
He doesn't even have the money for a bloomin onion
at outback. Why do I want to be betrothed to
him for the rest of well night? His mom paid
for our date. At least he didn't show up to
the date on an East scooter and try to make
it an EES scooter for two. So he's got that
going for him, which is nice.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Could have been a lot worse Sundays with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
So life fourth next year, which is the two hundred
and fiftieth anniversary of America's independence, is going to include
a UFC fight on the south lawn of the White House.
I had seen that report. The team did a good
job and grabbed it. Here is cut thirty three Dana
White confirming.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
That there is talk of a July fourth go ahead
fight America's two hundred and fiftieth Birthday next summer.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
We're we're at the White House. It's a pretty big venue.
Is that gonna happen?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Daniel?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
What can you tell us?
Speaker 8 (16:16):
It is definitely gonna happen. Oh, I talked to him
last night, him being the President, and I'm flying out
there at the end of this month and I'm gonna
sit down and walk him through, you know, all the
plans and the renderings, and we're going to start deciding
what he wants and doesn't want. But yeah, it's definitely
gonna happen. Well, think about this when you were just
asking me, you know, at the beginning, how I felt
(16:38):
about you know where we are today, July fourth, two
hundred and fiftieth Birthday of the United States of America,
live on CBS from the White.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
House, Buck That is going to be pretty awesome. Trump
throwing the two hundred and fiftieth Birthday party in general
is going to be phenomenal. But to have all of
these different cool events, I'm sure there will be a
deluge of awesomeness descending onto DC and hopefully it's a
much safer DC by then. And I thinkfully it won't
(17:10):
be ten degrees outside like it was during the inauguration,
because that was a little rough. It might be one
hundred and ten degrees because it'll be the July fourth event.
Would I would take that over what we were subjected
to an inauguration. It was I looked like Leonardo DiCaprio
in that movie where he gets attacked by the bear.
You know that the revenue wearing like, oh yeah, ten
(17:31):
bear skins to walk around in is very cold, very cool.
I will say that I don't think a lot of
people have talked about this, at least I haven't seen it.
To me, Trump's decision to clean up Washington, d C
is likely very connected to the fact that there will
be many two hundred and fiftieth anniversary events going on
in DC, and he wants d C to have its
(17:52):
best look about it as people are coming in from
all over the world and certainly all over the country
to celebrate. So I do think there's probably a connection
between the timing of Trump's decision on DC and our
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. All Right, we got a
lot of talkbacks. Let me hit some of these. By
the way, eight hundred and two A two two eight

News Radio six fifty K n K E and I.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
She has this to.
Speaker 9 (18:49):
Say, Buck, Did Clay just say he's surprised or shocked
that anyone dated you in New York while you were
riding your scooter. This is coming from a man whose
appearance has spent compared to that of a homeless person,
and who has openly stated he doesn't know how to
operate an oven or any kitchen appliance.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
To be fair.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
To be fair, your appearance has not been compared to
a homeless person. Your wardrobe has been has been compared
to a homeless person. My recollection is that emailer said
that I had the beard of a homeless person. If
you remember that emailer and your stand, I stand corrected.
I rushed to your defense here, sir. I realized I've
been I've been mowed down by the machine gun nests too,
(19:33):
So yeah, okay, yeah, she's right that emailer said, uh
he criticized every aspect of my physical appearance, and then
closed with if I remember correctly, and your beard has
the appearance of a homeless person's beard. I'm paraphrasing, but
I think, Look, that's a lot of attacks. When she started,
(19:53):
she sounded so nice and librarian like, and then, much
like with many criticisms, as she lay one sentence upon another,
it continued to get progressively worse for me.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
So thank you, Pam.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Now you're not without not without attack here, let's see,
let me there's a lot of good ones out there.
Is this hh you want to get Yeah, Glenn Glen
in Ohio, This is I would say, an unprovoked attack,
maybe the Pearl Harbor of the show style attack.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Listen to Gigi to aj.
Speaker 10 (20:26):
Buck This is Glenn from Ohio. I'm a sixty six
year old tennis player, but I still think I can
compete with you, even though you just got rid of
your dad body and you just put on a new
tennis grip. I'm surprised you don't use tennis over wraps,
but maybe you don't like them. Let's get together. If
you're not afraid.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Oh I'm in all right. I got this guy by
twenty five years Bucket. He's talking.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Try to settle down here. We gotta sell that. First
of all, this is a turner grip over grip, all right,
just to be clear. And and this is my Wilson
Pro staffcause I'm like a stiff racket you know, that
requires you to hit in the sweet spot, not one
of these super light rackets with a giant sweet spot,
because you know, trying to actually have some technique out there.
And I'm just gonna say this to you, Glenn, you're
sixty six years old. Unless you were on the pro tour,
(21:12):
you would get smoked, oh me. Unless you're a former
pro tennis player at sixty six, I think I think
you're toast, my man. I'm just telling you I'm not
going to back down on this one. The wheels that
I've got, and then the forehand, the accuracy that I
can do inside out. You know, you're just I'm gonna
run you around that cork, Glenn, and I'm gonna have
to probably stop and check on you. It's not gonna
(21:33):
be good for you, buddy, So sorry. Challenge accepted. Basically
just said he would put you in the hospital. Glenn,
Senior citizen trash talk. What is your speed on your serve?
What do you mean your head?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Pikes?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Is I'm more of a I'm more of a consistency guy.
I mean I could I could juice it up to
about one and fifteen. Oh that's oh that's ridiculous. Over
one hundred miles an hour on your serve? Oh absolutely yeah,
Oh wow, Oh that's really Glenn has no change. I know,
one hundred miles an hour on his serve is pretty rare, isn't.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
It in tennis?
Speaker 9 (22:05):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
No, that's that's not that's actually not that fast. I
mean you said how fast Ken, I sir, how fast
do I serve? Probably more like a hundo one hundred.
But you know there are the pros now serve routinely
one five one thirty. I mean that's like not.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
But yeah, I could probably do.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
I would say I serve on average about one hundred,
and I could get it up to one ten if
I wanted to throw a little shoulder into it.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
But it's clay. It's all about what's up here, buddy.
It's all about what's between the years.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
You know.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
It's a it's a it's a mind game. It's consistency.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I don't think that many tennis players who are not
really elite tennis players hit the ball one hundred miles
an hour, right, I mean that's a pretty Now every
every college, every college player is hitting the ball. A
lot of them are I mean, do you like I
mean I basically, if you want to know, I'm basically
like the level of a D three college player when
I was younger. I mean I've beaten people who played
D three college pretty you know that. That's happened many
(22:57):
times in the past.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
But D three college tennis, I would think their drop
off is not that significant, right, because tennis.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
It is closer. It depends on the school. This is
the thing.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
It depends very much on the school. D three racket
sports can actually, like I think Trinity College in Hartford
had the best squash team in the country for a while,
and it's a D three school. Yeah, I mean they
would have soccer. This happens too, right where you could
be the D three soccer team, whereas if you played
like D three football or basketball, you would get smoked. No,
(23:28):
I think soccer, you I think soccer, you get busied. Now,
it's really the racket sports where I think the it's
very close. It's also those are individual sports too, so
the team dynamic matters matters less. But yeah, squash tennis,
you can definitely have D three players who are really competitive.
So yeah, I mean I was probably at like a
a bad D three college player level to be fair,
(23:49):
and you know, i'd say I could. Am I gonna
have to post some Clay. Am I gonna if I
have to get the serve gun out. I feel like
Clay is a little suspicions, so now I have to
I'm actually impressed. Although my mom, you king of senior
citizen trash talk evidently, and I don't know because I
have not watched him play lately. My fourteen year old
nephew is one of the best players in the state
(24:10):
of Tennessee, and my mom just said he could beat you.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
This is mom.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
If he's a state level fourteen year old, he absolutely
would beat me. Yeah really, oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I've not watched him play lately, but I've played enough.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Tennis and enough like open matches and enough places to
kind of know what the what the levels are. I mean,
by sixteen in tennis, you can be a straight up pro.
You can mean people have won wimbled in at seventeen,
so and I think Martina Hingis won wimbled in at sixteen.
I think you're fourteen. You've got the you know, for
fourteen you can be. Didn't Copriotti start playing when she
(24:45):
was fourteen on the professional tour?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
That made me very Yeah, definitely, you can be a
teenager on the pro tour for sure, and not like
you know, seventeen and six months. I mean you can
be fourteen.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Fifty Golf was like a sixteen year old, ye know,
the Venus and Serena Williams.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Well, this is.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Why tennis generally, this has changed a little bit recently,
but college tennis generally has. If you were going to
be like world class, you actually don't go to tennis
or you don't go to college to play tennis because
you're already on the tour. Usually that's changed a little bit.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
You felt like James Blake went to Harvard and he
was a top player.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
There's a little bit more of this. There are some others,
but traditionally, especially in the foreign players, they they're a
pro by and they've been training, by the way, NonStop
since they were like five. That's right, by the way,
here's some funny. Well, let's come back and we'll close out.
Lots of reaction to my which I'll stand by. No
(25:36):
one has ever gotten married if a man used a
gift certificate on the very first date with the girl,
it's never happened. I do not believe it has happened
in the history of the world. But a lot of
people weighing in on my he's not that into you theory.
If he's using a gift certificate on the very first date.
I'm not talking about date six or date eight, or
saving money because you're gonna get married or whatever.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I'm talking about the first day.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
You have upset the thrifty contingent of our audiencer, which
is considerable. People like value, they like a good deal.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
My wife.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
I don't know if anything other than like seeing our
baby smile or playing fetch with Ginger out in the yard.
I don't know if anything makes Kerry happier than getting
a great deal.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
I will tell you this.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
If you had taken Carrie out on a date, where
did you go on your first day?
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Do you remember?
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Yeah, of course a Peninsula hotel like to like the
rooftop of the Peninsula.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, okay, fabulum where Jesse Kelly maxed out your credit
card on eighty dollars shots of tequila. Yes, that's right.
I will say, I don't know that they have gift
certificates at the Peninsula Hotel, so I don't even know.
They probably don't even sell gifts to That's a super
high end place. Well done by you. We went on
our first date to bowling. Very romantic guy that I am.
(26:54):
Laura Travis and I were you better than her? Because
your wife is very athletic. She is, I'm not sure
that I would put money on you to beat her
in bowling necessary.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I'm actually a really good bowler. Oh it is, Oh
looking a couple of bowling leagues. I was over over
two hundred. Never told me this you were like the
big Lebowski guy. You were on the bowling team. I
was in a bowling league. I was, you know, getting
it up near.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I think I had have one eighty five average or
something like that, which is pretty good. I mean, it's
not like, so this is why you went first date bowling.
You were like, let me show you how I roll
a lady. Literally, and it's now been torn down that
bowling alley. But I do think if I had taken
her to Chili's and I've been like, boom, I got.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Whatever you wanted.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Chili's mom gave me this gift certificate, I don't think
we'd be married. I think she might have found it
so funny that she was willing to hang around. But
we didn't have any money of any significant nature we
started dating, So maybe she would have been more forgiving
than not. Maybe she's listening her now she can text me.
I think it would have been a I think it
would have been a big no. And I think, again,
(28:05):
guys out there, I'm trying to save you. I'm trying
to get you married, have kids, live happily ever after.
Don't use the gift certificate on the very first date.
Because the girl is going to be like, he didn't
even think I was worthy of actual credit card, actual cash.
I'm just telling you, I think there's a little bit,
a little bit of filibustering going on here of all
of the people who want to make their case play
that the gift certificate on the first date is fine.
(28:25):
This is podcast listener Brian from Jacksonville.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Jay J. Hit it.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Hey claim Bucks is Brian from Jacksonville.
Speaker 11 (28:33):
I want to get Clay's opinion on the fact that
the Minnesota Bikings just hired a male cheerleader as their
lead cheerleader.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Is going woke?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
What is that? I just that's not That's not I
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
I do know that they have been putting gay slash
trans slash dudes and look. To be fair, there is
a difference between a male cheerleader who is like a
stunter and is throwing a girl up in the air
and she's doing like flips and everything else and a
guy who is like in sparkles in sequins and is
dancing with the girls the first one. If you have
those kind of cheerleaders, more power to them. They can't
(29:08):
do the stunts without them. No, no negativity, let's colleges
have that some NFL teams do the whole guy in
a sequence like dancing around is crazy, by the way,
So I'm very anti that my wife went in. She said,
I think it really depends on the stage your are
in life. You and I were broke and living on
law school loans and we started dating, so I likely
(29:29):
would have forgiven the use of a gift certificate. But
by today's standards, I'm not sure I would accept a
gift certificate on a first date. Also, your nephew is
actually fifteen, not fourteen. And she says she's skeptical that
Buck can serve one hundred miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Oh okay, okay, Now it's on, Laura, Now it's on.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
There's gonna be video. There's gonna be video of this.
It has to happen. It probably has to happen. Some
people are saying Buck's serving in tennis. I want to
see you do one hundred miles an hour. Also, in
my offense, the kid had a birthday like three months ago.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
That's pretty close.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Like he's now fifteen, but like in May he turned
I think I get a pass on that. If you're
an uncle and you're within like a couple of months
of how old your nieces or nephews are? Like, I
don't think that's a big whiff by me, But he's fifteen. Now,
we got a bunch of talkbacks. Let's roll these over.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
We're gonna get this guy drug tested too. He's older
than we fought. You know what else is in what
else is in this?
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I was definitely ringing the game here. I thought he
was fourteen. My son is fourteen? He uh this his nephew,
Clay's fourteen year old nephew shows up. He's got like
a beard, tattoos on his arms. Get benched three hundred.
He's like, hey, I played tennis, he's got three kids.
Mortgage already served a tour in.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Nom Sunday drop with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
And listen in San Antonio. Who listens on the Great
w A I play it?
Speaker 12 (30:52):
Hey guys, it's Melissa, san Antonio, Texas. I wanted to
let you guys know that ten years ago I went
on a blind date a young man who took me
to a very nice Italian restaurant and did pay with
a gift card. This past May, we celebrated our eight
year wedding anniversary. But trust me, I still give him
crap about paying with that gift card.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
So she kind of saved you there at the end, Clay,
But that's clearly going in the you know, maybe some
people doesn't bother.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Happy anniversary. Melissa overlooked it. She overlooked it. Hey, by
the way, if you're really this guy like, this guy
probably had abs. This guy probably looked like like Ali's husband,
like you know what I mean, this guy could sell
men's bathing suits or something.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
If you got.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
To get a lot of people went away in if
you missed it yesterday, I said, there's no marriage that
has ever occurred where a man paid for the first
date with a gift card at Chili's, at Bottomless Wings,
at any of the Buffalo Wild Wings. So Melissa, congratulations.
Maybe duck out and go find the waiter with the
(32:01):
card so she doesn't see. But I actually would like
to hear from Melissa about what her thought process was
on that first date, the blind date, when he played
with the game. I'm telling you he had some he
had some magic something going on there. There was an
X factor that this guy brought to the table. I mean, Clay,
was he six' three was he six.' four we all
know some, of these some of. These ladies the, height
(32:23):
THING which i personally, don't understand and THAT whenever i
said this was because you're so short people someone came up. To,
me actually no one person came up to Me, In highlands,
so like you're much TALLER than i thought.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
You'd BE do i look?
Speaker 12 (32:35):
Really?
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Short well what?
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Is this they've said it to, You too CLAY and
i and they didn't pick us for. This reason put.
Us together we are both six. Feet tall we are
not lying. To you you can stand us back. TO back,
i mean, You know clay might be like like an
eighth of an inch taller.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Or something we are both six. Feet tall uh and and,
it's like but people are shocked, by THIS which i.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Don't know my favorite is my wife is five to
TWO and, i SAID if I were, i've eight would
you have?
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Dated me she said.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
PROBABLY not, I, Know OKAY carrie's i think five, to?
Three honey how tall? ARE you i think she's five? To,
three uh maybe five? To four and she also is
like you WERE like i. JUST was i just was
torn off the, amusement park you KNOW what. I mean
i just made. The cut, all right let's get To
uh Dustin, From. Maricopa arizona listens ON. Kfy i this
(33:22):
is bb.
Speaker 11 (33:23):
Hey Claim buck Dustin, From. Americopa, Arizona, hey clay you
should put a pull Up on twitter or x and
see which, one's worse using a gift certificate for your
first date or showing up on a date on an
e scooter Like.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
The BUCKSTA can i just soon Tell Me New, york
city how often do people go to dates on? E
scooters i honestly have. No, idea well why are we
limiting It To New. York City there's east winners All,
over Miami. In okay no One in nashville would show
up for a gate for a gate for a date
on an e scooter and have any success in life.
(34:01):
At ALL so i think it has to be a
city that is compact where. PEOPLE regularly i don't know
how often people show up. On scooters LIKE if i,
were meeting if you put out, That pole i'll JUST
say i it could go either way. FOR me i
think probably scooter is a. Little WORSE but i think
it would be like a fifty five forty five. Pole
SITUATION if i had a BUDDY and i, Was, like
(34:23):
hey let's go meet for. A beer and he showed
up on a Scooter in nashville with a. Helmet on
he would never hear the end of it. FROM me
i think he would just immediately turn around. AND leave
i wasn't wearing a helmet because helmets don't fit my.
Giant head so don't worry. About that, all right there's
no helmet with my. E, scooter.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Uh to, Be safe.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
THAT'S True cce Debbie From, Long beach california listens On
k Eibae. The patriot what's?
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Going on let's? Play it hi.
Speaker 13 (34:50):
Clan back This is Debbie From long beach about the
gift certificate on the first date at. A restaurant it
wouldn't bother me at ALL because i would look for
so many other things besides how. HE paid i would
look for did he hold my chair?

For me did he open my?
Speaker 13 (35:09):
Car door did he chew with his? Mouth closed was?
Speaker 4 (35:13):

Speaker 2 (35:18):
He PAID can I say debbie could do? VOICEOVER work.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
I would debbie has an. Unbelievable voice she sounds like
somebody who, uh yeah legit could be a. Voice actor maybe.
She is she's Out, In california Frank, In Columbia, south carolina.
Gamecock country what?
Speaker 7 (35:35):
You got my WIFE and i was first date was
for coffee and hers was FREE because i whipped out
my five punches and you get a free cup of.
Coffee card, so yeah on our very. First, date no
my wife's coffee was free and so but it was
almost amazing.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
The.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Punch card the girl on the first date and you
pulled out your coffee club, Punch, card frank can we?
Just say can we, Just, say frank you're. A champion
obviously you won. The race you've got your, lovely wife
And but i'm, telling, you man you you you stepped
into that race with it with a satchel of rocks on.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Your, back man that's not an easy one to. Pull
off so good. On you can you imagine pulling out the.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Punch card you're not even gonna throw down the four
dollars for her cup. Of coffee, you're, like hey it's,
buy one get, one. FREE babe i, JUST wow i
can't believe.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
That, worked jerry this, is, Great, great yeah.
Speaker 14 (36:34):
Play it my brother in law took a date out
using a home depot rental truck, for delivery and you
picked her up and they went on. Her date but
he was only allowed to use it for seventy, five
minutes so apparently the date was kind of.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Cut SHORT can I just i'm gonna throw something.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
OUT there i actually think that THIS is i wouldn't
view this as a negative if you leaned into it
and you made.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
It a, conversation piece because it's so crazy that.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
It's funny like if you showed up IN a u
haul van to pick a girl up on, a date
you clearly if you have a story, for it even
if you have to make the. STORY up i think
that that's a good way to weed out whether somebody
has a sense of humor. Or, Not, right like that's
it's so, to me it's so crazy that. It works
THAT'S what i. WOULD say i just does he not have? A?
Car otherwise was he so scrimped or cramped for time
(37:28):
that he wasn't able to actually drive a? NORMAL vehicle
i have actually more questions. About that it's very funny
to get PICKED up, I mean i guess it's kind
of the equivalent of getting picked up in like A fed,
x Truck which i'm sure is a big, no No
because i'm sure you're not supposed to take girls out
on dates in a ups or A fed x truck
or a. Police car did you did we talk about
the guys at the fire department who picked up the
(37:49):
hot chicks and, drove them and did you get in?
TROUBLE right, i mean, you know if you're going to be,
a fireman you can't pick up a hot lady and
give him a ride on the. Fire truck, come ON
what i thought this was. A merit i think It
Was New. York city the fire, guys like we're d
it's very by, the way this is, Oh. Wow mike
with the illegal use of the hose, Line there i'm
(38:14):
not surprised at all that firemen would pick up cute
girls on, the street but evidently the girls were posting,
about it and it was a huge Controversy In New.
York CITY but i think the fdny's got to get a.
Carve out, you know if she's like a solid seven,
or above she gets a free ride to where she
has to go her. NEXT destination i don't think that's a.
Big deal, but yeah they got in trouble for THAT
(38:35):
one Gg listener Jeff.
Speaker 15 (38:37):
FROM minnesota i can see, It Now dana WHITE hosting
ufc on the lawn Of The white house with an

Speaker 1 (39:05):
First date and by, the way if you're a woman
listening to us and the, guy's, like hey, let's split
run as fast as you can in the, opposite direction
that is not a dude you want to. Be with
he might as well be wearing a MALE feminist. T
SHIRT todd ff had this, To, say.
Speaker 16 (39:20):
HEY guys i once took a girl out and she
tried to split the CHECK and i picked, it up
looked her straight in the face, and said what kind
of guys you've been hanging out with that don't pay for?
The check and, YOU know i didn't marry, that girl
but it definitely scored me, some points.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
No doubt and by THE way i, Toased, it oh.
GO ahead i was also going to SAY that.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
I was gonna, play this but if you missed. It
earlier buck has been challenged on his ability to hit
one hundred mile. An hour served lots of people in
the comments not very very, favorable.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
Here but it, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Excuse me the comments are about seventy thirty doubters. Versus,
supporters okay seventy, percent doubters which they're not good at
math or they have, bad eyesight but thirty percent, are,
LIKE yeah, i know that's about one hundred miles.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
An Hour so i'm, just Saying j jess got your.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Back here Lawrence In, san, antonio listen, ALL right i believe.
Speaker 17 (40:22):
You can hit one.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Oh two my Name.
Speaker 17 (40:25):
Is lawrence you played, IN college i played anyone who.
Is skilled if you look at the length of the
arm and the length of the tennis racket and the
snap at the top of the serve with brand new
tennis balls on a, first, SERVE yes i believe you
can hit let's say one hundred. And two that's. My
bet HOW do i send you five dollars for?
Speaker 2 (40:46):
The bet this would. Be fun how far do you
think you could kick a. Field goal have you ever thought?
Speaker 1 (40:52):
ABOUT this, I mean i was a reasonable high school,
soccer player, like reasonable, Not good so it was, YOU
know i didn't play In like olympic, development programs although
one of my kids on my one of the guys
on my.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
TEAM did i THAT'S why i know what. That is
he was much better. Than, ME uh i don't know what's?
What's like?
Speaker 1 (41:10):
What's like what's reasonable athleticism but? Not good THAT'S where
i would put myself with kicking a FOOTBALL at i
am not good at throwing. A football i'm good at throwing.
A baseball i shouldn't. Say good i'm reasonable at throwing.
A baseball i do not have a. Good spiral that
IS because i never. PLAYED football i would think, that
you if you played soccer and you have. DECENT technique
i would think most decent guy soccer players would be
(41:32):
able to make a twenty ish yard field goal without too,
Much difficulty SO that I would i would HAVE thought
i could. Hit thirty that would have been. My guest
but maybe that's a little. Too, FAR no i think
twenty five is probably a good. OVER under i. DON'T
know i haven't actually, Tried this but if you have decent,
foot contact then your and you have a decent. FOOT
(41:53):
strength i think twenty five yards is is a very.
Reasonable potential do you have video of you doing A
field this show is Turning the Clay and buck middle
Aged man.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
Olympics here.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
I'VE never i don't Know that i've tried a. Field
goal my brother in law. TORE his i think he
tore his like hamstring trying to prove, this, well no
that he could kick a thirty yard. FIELD goal i,
mean again a lot of this stuff just comes down.
TO stretching i was mentioning because we were talking about
your one hundred mile an HOUR and i was talking,
about throwing and a ton of people reached out to
(42:29):
me and, they said, you know when you're trying to
do that laser at a minor league baseball game OR
a i think they still have.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
Him at a few major.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
League teams just not like you're getting loose. At all
so you're just stepping. In raw if you're. Not loose
the older, you get the more likely you are to.
Pull something somebody said to, me ONCE and i think
it's accurate that the definition of age is you go
to bed feeling great and wake up feeling. Like, Crap,
(42:58):
right like you just wake up and your shoulders, somehow
hurts and, you're LIKE all i did was get, into,
Bed right it's NOT like i went and did. A
triathlon i think there's a lot of truth. To that
you go, to bed, you're, like man that was a.
GREAT day i. Feel fantastic let me go ahead and
turn off. The lights, next morning you wake up and
you're just. In pain that is the definition of getting
old and middle Aged man olympics is it's really easy
(43:20):
to hurt yourself if you have not gotten. Loose beforehand
wasn't there the comedian who's the? Comedian who there's video.
Of him he tried to DUNK and i think, he like,
oh yeah he like ripped his hamstring and broke his
knee at the. SAME time i mean he actually it's
actually harsh to watch because he really messed. Himself, up, so,
(43:43):
yeah guys make sure you stretched stretch.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
Those hammies it's.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
Very Important the sunday hang is brought to You By
Chalk natural supplements, for guys gals and nothing. In between

(44:09):
right and speaking, of sports, You know I'M just i was,
feeling like you, know what, all right, All right so
it's a little a little harder than MAYBE maybe i
need to hit a little harder than that video to

The back
The 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 reverence, and occasionally random
The Sunday Hang with playing podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
It starts now.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Some of you coming to my defense on the East
scooter thing, which is very kind of you. You know,
it's efficient, Clay. I'm sorry, some of us want to
keep our carbon footprint small. There is a zero percent
chance if I were single that I would have scooted anywhere.
I mean I would have I would have been late
for every meeting just because I would have been afraid
that some would come by and see me on the
(00:39):
scooter and never date me again. This is gonna sound
like I'm making it up, but I'm not making it up.
But I feel like we're all family here, so I
will tell you this. Okay, During COVID and a couple
of years before I met my wife, when I was
a single guy, I was you know, I was out,
you know, trying to meet the trying to meet the
love of my life, my beloved Carrie, and I hadn't
(01:01):
met her yet, and it was a couple of years
before and I had the scooter because you know, during COVID,
that was when it was great to have the scooter
because you could fly all over New York. Not fly,
but you could move really fast all over near There
are very few people out and about because that time,
so I could get all over but you know, restaurants
will be open sometimes. And I remember I was like,
you know what I was like, for this, this is
true story. I was like, for this, it was a
(01:22):
second date to be it wasn't a first date. I
was like, but for this date, you know what, I'm
just gonna I'm gonna show up with my scooter because
it's convenient, and like, I'll give her, I'll give her
a ride home on my little East scooter. And I
didn't really think this through. You know, she was a
she's a petit lady, she wasn't big. I didn't really
think this through though. Those things are not meant for
two people. So when she got on the back of
(01:44):
it and we tried to go, I'm not kidding. We
were going zero point five miles an hour. It was
moving walking, but oh walking is way faster.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
We were moving, but it was moving at the speed.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Of like a Toddler's Tanka truck, you know what I
mean when it kind of goes on the driveway and
we had a we had a sustained laugh at my expense.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
And uh, I don't think there was a third date.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
We did have there, you go, I wouldn't have kept
dating you. I mean I would have been like, this
guy's riding a scooter. He won't even spend he won't
even splurge for an uber ride back home. It's probably cold,
the winds. I do wish there was there was video
of my face though, when like cause you know, I
hit the throttle and I didn't know and and it
kind of like lurched for and then it was just
(02:29):
at you know, at turtle speed. I mean it was
this old ladies with walkers were telling me to get
out of the way, slow poke.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
It was really not good.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I remember, this is kind of funny date story, not
for me. I've been married for twenty like five years
or whatever. The heck it is twenty two years, next year,
next month, this month, anyway, a long time, twenty one years.
And uh, but I remember a girl being like, yeah,
I went on a date. She's like, I'm a little
We used to do. Uh, I do anonymous mailbags at
(02:59):
out Care and I would answer a lot of questions.
Girl was like, yeah, I went on a first date.
It's like, I just I don't really feel like he.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Was into me.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
And I was like, you know in the email, and
she was like and as evidence of that, she said,
he paid with a gift certificate. And I was like,
I was like, I'm sorry, ladies, if you go out
to dinner with a guy on the very first date
and he pays with a gift certificate, then he is
(03:25):
really not that into you because he's not even willing
to pull out the actual credit card. And it's even
funnier if it's like can you just take the twenty
you know, it's like a twenty five dollars gift certificate.
So you know, I'm just telling you. I don't believe
maybe there's somebody listening. I don't believe there's a single
marriage that has ever resulted from a first date or
a man paid for the dinner with a gift certificate,
(03:47):
because I think women are like like, look, i mean
I'm not saying that that I expected the absolute sun
of movement stars on the first date, but you took
me to app or Outback and you whipped out like
the Outback gift certificate for the Bloomin Onion. I'm just
not saying that that's the guy that you want to
(04:09):
spend the rest of your life with. Maybe there's somebody
out there, if there's a single person listening who went
out on a first date and the guy she's with
paid with a gift certificate gift card, then then maybe
I'm wrong. I don't think there's a single relationship that
has ever come from a first date gift certificate. So uh,
(04:30):
that is my advice to men out there that if
you're dating a girl, or if you're the girl, if
he's paying for you with a gift certificate, he's not
that into you. He wasn't even willing to actually use
real cash. He's using what his mom gave him for
Christmas to take you. However, Bloomin Onions still preferable to
splitting the check on the first date. I will say, so,
(04:52):
it's it's a little it's you know, this is in
this is purgatory, this is like in between, right. I mean,
it's not great, but not terrible. Guys, I gotta you
gotta up that even if you don't like her, even
if she's a leg, even if she's a Bernie Sanders
voting purple haired. You didn't know this is what you
were getting into date. You pay on the first did guys,
don't don't. Don't make it. We have young we have
(05:12):
young single men listeners here. Twenties, thirties, forties, guys were
single out there. You pay on the first date.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Boys.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I agree, it's just the way it is. There's no
way fans or butts. All right, Norman in NYC wants
to weigh in.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Norman stood laughing about the credit card, the credit gift card.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Gift card. You can't do it, Norman, you can't do it.
You've probably been married for thirty years. But I'm trying
to help the young man out there. Don't screw this up.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
My god, God was given to him by his mother.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Oh my god, it's like you got a Christmas gift
card for the outback steakhouse. You're not even willing to
take and pay the girls dinner for yourself. Your mom
and dad are paying for it.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Just can't do it.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Oh my god, Oh my god, you got Norman.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
You have to do you have to come back to Norman.
Norman's Norman's who tickled over there?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Let me say this, I think, first and foremost, Washington,
d C should be the safest community on the planet.
Just and foremost. That is where the President of the
United States, dignitaries come from all over the world. There
is no excuses, no excuses for one thing to be
going wrong in Washington, d C. The second thing is
(06:21):
I agree with the presidents and in the National Guard there,
and I think that it's important that the mayor takes
the pride off the shoulder and say I'm getting additional
help in Washington, DC to be able to combat the
problems that we face. I think that what I would
do is pair up one law enforcement officer from the
(06:41):
district with one National guardsman to give it more power,
to give people more comfortability. The word national Guard is
scaring people. It's the additional law enforcement. New York City
talks about the fact that we need more police. Well, Hull,
take the four thousand or five thousand National guardsmen that
want to be deployed, give them the opportunity to work
(07:02):
alongside the police.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Can I Can I point out something as well, Norman,
All the people that don't totally totally agree with your
sentiments here. All the people that are freaking out about
Trump deploying National Guard to help with law enforcement, they
were fine with National Guard holding empty M sixteens at
airports during COVID as if that had anything to do
with anything. I mean, they just had people standing there
(07:24):
with guns making you fill out contact tracing forms. What
was the National Guard gonna do? Hand me some extra cleanexes.
It was absurd, and they were all.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Fine with that.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I just want to point out no purpose for them
whatsoever other than a show of force, because we were
all supposed to obey and bend the need of fauci
and vile.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Third.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Oh absolutely, and let me see this. Tell a mother
that lost her child it's a gun violence that she
doesn't want more police in the community. Hey man, the
father that doesn't have one, Come on, man, get with potis.
Let's do what we gotta do. Yes, we're in untrodded
territories in some area, but the ship is turning. Let's
get on board, turn the ship and going in a
(08:02):
different direction. Because all of this other stuff from the
Democrats have not been working. It's just been kicking the
can down the road.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
That's great call, Norman.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
I agree with him, and you mentioned this yesterday, Buck,
and we'll play a cut for you. Maybe in a
little bit, we're gonna take a couple more calls. But
I think Muriel Bowser, the mayor of DC, actually agrees
with Trump, but politically is not able to say that.
Listen to her answers and how she's trying to thread
that fine line. I think she welcomes the support.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
She is not.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I if this were happening in Chicago, Mayor Johnson would
be screaming about Nazism and racism and Trump as like
the head of the KKK. I mean, it would be
complete meltdown. Okay, complete meltdown. That's not what you're getting
from Mayor Bowser.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
She was pretty you know.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I mean she's saying, I don't think we needed to
try and defend her record a little. Maybe we should
get to some of those get some of those clips.
She's not coming out swinging hard at Trump on these
things because I think she wants to leave open the
possibility of taking credit for it, which which if it
gets better, she'll take a victory lap. And you know what,
if she doesn't stand in the way fine, you know,
(09:12):
I mean, as long as it's getting better there, because
we all know that people will understand that Trump was
the instigator of these improvements. But yeah, I think it's
it's very interesting to see how that dynamic plays out.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
We've also got here next. Thank you David and Florida.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Yes, hey, listen, buck, when when the when the bike
went dead?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Who pushed?
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Who taking it back?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
What happened when the scooter was failing? What did you do?
Did you like just kick her to the curb and
ride home?
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I I, I will tell you, I called an uber
for her to take her home, and then I kind
of sadly, I didn't really want to ride the ride
the scooter anymore. I kind of walked it home. You
know when you skin your knee as a kid on
your bike and you were like unsure of it, you know,
and you're like, I don't know, like I was skinned
my knee, kind of how I felt about my EA scooter.
It was like I was defeated and I just walked
(10:03):
alongside it in sorrow alone.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Yeah, I took your soccer ball and went home. So,
you know, the solutions today for DC and the Mayor's
solution is as ridiculous as it was when Marion Barry
was in office and the early nineties it was the
murder capital of the world, I think a couple of
years consecutive. And that solution was to change the name
of the basketball team from the Washington Bullets because it
(10:27):
has to the Washington Wizards. That was her solution, I remember,
and it's just completely out of ridiculous at at a
ridiculous level.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Now.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
So I want to ask you, I want to ask
you a question real quick. I know, maybe maybe fourth
of July or something. Could you guys maybe play an
old Paul Harvey rest of the story the signers of
the Declaration of Independence. It's a great it's a great
rest of the story.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Man.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
I think everybody appreciated so well.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
That's fun.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
That is a question for rights for people way smarter
than me, uh, meaning producer Alli can can look into it.
By the way, I will say, two d and fiftieth anniversary.
I just saw this come across the Twitter wire here
buck UFC fight South Lawn July fourth, twenty twenty sixth.
(11:14):
That is according to Dana White, and I think Avanka
Trump is working on trying to put this thing on.
They are going to do the fight and then have
the fireworks. I'm gonna try to pull some strings for us,
Buck to get that's one of the coolest sporting events
of all time to see a UFC competition on the
(11:34):
south lawn of the White House and have it sort
of connected also simultaneously to the extraordinary July fourth, on
the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the United States.
It doesn't get much trumpier than that. But that, by
the way, speaking of July fourth is underway right now.
Let's get one more quickly in here, Barney and North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
What you got for.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Us, yeah, is with DC and all these other big cities,
they're all democratic run in Democratic run states, and they're
all anti Second Amendments. And is there any correlation with
the violence and crime? We're dead?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Uh, thank you for the call. Barney.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I bet was a big fan of Andy Griffith back
in the day. Maybe named after the legendary Barney Fife.
That is, by the way, one of the all time
great shows. Do you ever grow up watching Andy Griffith show?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Buck?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Oh No, Andy Griffith Show is still so good. Black
and white, Andy Griffith before they went to the color
version old school Andy Griffith shows Opie everything else and
be so good. So what's interesting is we have seen
skyrocketing levels of firearms purchase.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Since twenty eighteen ish.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I think if any firearm maker out there were looking
at it, there are way more guns on the street
now than ever before. And many of the places with
the highest rates of gun ownership are actually seeing much
lower rates of gun violence, and many of the places
with the most restrictive laws on gun ownership are seeing
(13:16):
record high levels of gun violence. Again, it is the
legal gun owner, as many of you know out there,
is actually one of the most law abiding people. Like
leave aside gun crime, they actually commit crimes that infinitely
lower rates. Anybody. Conceal carry permit holders in this country
have a lower violation of the law rate than law enforcement.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Yeah, that's a heck of a stat Sunday hang with
Clay and Buck Todd in Mississippi has called in what
you got for us?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Todd. Yeah, you guys were talking about you know, it's
kind of low brow to use a gift certificate or
you know, a restaurant. I'm thinking, the hell wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
You on a first date.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
On a first date, you're trying to impress a girl
and she's like, hey, thank you for taking me to
the dinner. And you're like, well, I just want you
to know my mom is basically paying for this date.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
You're not worth my credit card.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
No, see, I think gu's where you're wrong here, Clay.
You know somebody gave you a gift certificate. I know
you like you know wherever I'm going to give you
this gift certificate and you saying, Okay, I'm gonna save
this so you know it's my favorite restaurant. If I've
got a hot date, I'm going to be able to
bring her there. I might be short of money in
(14:39):
that week, but I'm going to save it for a
special occasion, and you're going to use your gift certificate that.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
I think Todd has used some gift certificates on. I
think Todd, are you married.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Long since Mary? Yes?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Okay, on the first date that you went on with
your wife, did you use a gift certificate?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
They didn't have.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Okay, that's why you're married today, Todd. That's why you're
married today. She would have been like, I can't stay
with this guy. He just used a gift certificate on
our very first date.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
We'll have some fun. You guys can weigh in. I
love you, Todd, thank you for calling it in.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Thank you than I'm glad you're married, because you would
have made a poor decision and tried to use a
gift stificate with the love of your life and she
would have said, I don't think I can trust this guy.
He doesn't even have the money for a bloomin onion
at outback. Why do I want to be betrothed to
him for the rest of well night? His mom paid
for our date. At least he didn't show up to
the date on an East scooter and try to make
it an EES scooter for two. So he's got that
going for him, which is nice.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Could have been a lot worse Sundays with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
So life fourth next year, which is the two hundred
and fiftieth anniversary of America's independence, is going to include
a UFC fight on the south lawn of the White House.
I had seen that report. The team did a good
job and grabbed it. Here is cut thirty three Dana
White confirming.
Speaker 7 (16:02):
That there is talk of a July fourth go ahead
fight America's two hundred and fiftieth Birthday next summer.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
We're we're at the White House. It's a pretty big venue.
Is that gonna happen?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Daniel?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
What can you tell us?
Speaker 8 (16:16):
It is definitely gonna happen. Oh, I talked to him
last night, him being the President, and I'm flying out
there at the end of this month and I'm gonna
sit down and walk him through, you know, all the
plans and the renderings, and we're going to start deciding
what he wants and doesn't want. But yeah, it's definitely
gonna happen. Well, think about this when you were just
asking me, you know, at the beginning, how I felt
(16:38):
about you know where we are today, July fourth, two
hundred and fiftieth Birthday of the United States of America,
live on CBS from the White.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
House, Buck That is going to be pretty awesome. Trump
throwing the two hundred and fiftieth Birthday party in general
is going to be phenomenal. But to have all of
these different cool events, I'm sure there will be a
deluge of awesomeness descending onto DC and hopefully it's a
much safer DC by then. And I thinkfully it won't
(17:10):
be ten degrees outside like it was during the inauguration,
because that was a little rough. It might be one
hundred and ten degrees because it'll be the July fourth event.
Would I would take that over what we were subjected
to an inauguration. It was I looked like Leonardo DiCaprio
in that movie where he gets attacked by the bear.
You know that the revenue wearing like, oh yeah, ten
(17:31):
bear skins to walk around in is very cold, very cool.
I will say that I don't think a lot of
people have talked about this, at least I haven't seen it.
To me, Trump's decision to clean up Washington, d C
is likely very connected to the fact that there will
be many two hundred and fiftieth anniversary events going on
in DC, and he wants d C to have its
(17:52):
best look about it as people are coming in from
all over the world and certainly all over the country
to celebrate. So I do think there's probably a connection
between the timing of Trump's decision on DC and our
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. All Right, we got a
lot of talkbacks. Let me hit some of these. By
the way, eight hundred and two A two two eight

News Radio six fifty K n K E and I.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
She has this to.
Speaker 9 (18:49):
Say, Buck, Did Clay just say he's surprised or shocked
that anyone dated you in New York while you were
riding your scooter. This is coming from a man whose
appearance has spent compared to that of a homeless person,
and who has openly stated he doesn't know how to
operate an oven or any kitchen appliance.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
To be fair.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
To be fair, your appearance has not been compared to
a homeless person. Your wardrobe has been has been compared
to a homeless person. My recollection is that emailer said
that I had the beard of a homeless person. If
you remember that emailer and your stand, I stand corrected.
I rushed to your defense here, sir. I realized I've
been I've been mowed down by the machine gun nests too,
(19:33):
So yeah, okay, yeah, she's right that emailer said, uh
he criticized every aspect of my physical appearance, and then
closed with if I remember correctly, and your beard has
the appearance of a homeless person's beard. I'm paraphrasing, but
I think, Look, that's a lot of attacks. When she started,
(19:53):
she sounded so nice and librarian like, and then, much
like with many criticisms, as she lay one sentence upon another,
it continued to get progressively worse for me.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
So thank you, Pam.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Now you're not without not without attack here, let's see,
let me there's a lot of good ones out there.
Is this hh you want to get Yeah, Glenn Glen
in Ohio, This is I would say, an unprovoked attack,
maybe the Pearl Harbor of the show style attack.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Listen to Gigi to aj.
Speaker 10 (20:26):
Buck This is Glenn from Ohio. I'm a sixty six
year old tennis player, but I still think I can
compete with you, even though you just got rid of
your dad body and you just put on a new
tennis grip. I'm surprised you don't use tennis over wraps,
but maybe you don't like them. Let's get together. If
you're not afraid.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Oh I'm in all right. I got this guy by
twenty five years Bucket. He's talking.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Try to settle down here. We gotta sell that. First
of all, this is a turner grip over grip, all right,
just to be clear. And and this is my Wilson
Pro staffcause I'm like a stiff racket you know, that
requires you to hit in the sweet spot, not one
of these super light rackets with a giant sweet spot,
because you know, trying to actually have some technique out there.
And I'm just gonna say this to you, Glenn, you're
sixty six years old. Unless you were on the pro tour,
(21:12):
you would get smoked, oh me. Unless you're a former
pro tennis player at sixty six, I think I think
you're toast, my man. I'm just telling you I'm not
going to back down on this one. The wheels that
I've got, and then the forehand, the accuracy that I
can do inside out. You know, you're just I'm gonna
run you around that cork, Glenn, and I'm gonna have
to probably stop and check on you. It's not gonna
(21:33):
be good for you, buddy, So sorry. Challenge accepted. Basically
just said he would put you in the hospital. Glenn,
Senior citizen trash talk. What is your speed on your serve?
What do you mean your head?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Pikes?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Is I'm more of a I'm more of a consistency guy.
I mean I could I could juice it up to
about one and fifteen. Oh that's oh that's ridiculous. Over
one hundred miles an hour on your serve? Oh absolutely yeah,
Oh wow, Oh that's really Glenn has no change. I know,
one hundred miles an hour on his serve is pretty rare, isn't.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
It in tennis?
Speaker 9 (22:05):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
No, that's that's not that's actually not that fast. I
mean you said how fast Ken, I sir, how fast
do I serve? Probably more like a hundo one hundred.
But you know there are the pros now serve routinely
one five one thirty. I mean that's like not.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
But yeah, I could probably do.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
I would say I serve on average about one hundred,
and I could get it up to one ten if
I wanted to throw a little shoulder into it.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
But it's clay. It's all about what's up here, buddy.
It's all about what's between the years.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
You know.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
It's a it's a it's a mind game. It's consistency.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I don't think that many tennis players who are not
really elite tennis players hit the ball one hundred miles
an hour, right, I mean that's a pretty Now every
every college, every college player is hitting the ball. A
lot of them are I mean, do you like I
mean I basically, if you want to know, I'm basically
like the level of a D three college player when
I was younger. I mean I've beaten people who played
D three college pretty you know that. That's happened many
(22:57):
times in the past.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
But D three college tennis, I would think their drop
off is not that significant, right, because tennis.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
It is closer. It depends on the school. This is
the thing.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
It depends very much on the school. D three racket
sports can actually, like I think Trinity College in Hartford
had the best squash team in the country for a while,
and it's a D three school. Yeah, I mean they
would have soccer. This happens too, right where you could
be the D three soccer team, whereas if you played
like D three football or basketball, you would get smoked. No,
(23:28):
I think soccer, you I think soccer, you get busied. Now,
it's really the racket sports where I think the it's
very close. It's also those are individual sports too, so
the team dynamic matters matters less. But yeah, squash tennis,
you can definitely have D three players who are really competitive.
So yeah, I mean I was probably at like a
a bad D three college player level to be fair,
(23:49):
and you know, i'd say I could. Am I gonna
have to post some Clay. Am I gonna if I
have to get the serve gun out. I feel like
Clay is a little suspicions, so now I have to
I'm actually impressed. Although my mom, you king of senior
citizen trash talk evidently, and I don't know because I
have not watched him play lately. My fourteen year old
nephew is one of the best players in the state
(24:10):
of Tennessee, and my mom just said he could beat you.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
This is mom.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
If he's a state level fourteen year old, he absolutely
would beat me. Yeah really, oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I've not watched him play lately, but I've played enough.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Tennis and enough like open matches and enough places to
kind of know what the what the levels are. I mean,
by sixteen in tennis, you can be a straight up pro.
You can mean people have won wimbled in at seventeen,
so and I think Martina Hingis won wimbled in at sixteen.
I think you're fourteen. You've got the you know, for
fourteen you can be. Didn't Copriotti start playing when she
(24:45):
was fourteen on the professional tour?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
That made me very Yeah, definitely, you can be a
teenager on the pro tour for sure, and not like
you know, seventeen and six months. I mean you can
be fourteen.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Fifty Golf was like a sixteen year old, ye know,
the Venus and Serena Williams.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Well, this is.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Why tennis generally, this has changed a little bit recently,
but college tennis generally has. If you were going to
be like world class, you actually don't go to tennis
or you don't go to college to play tennis because
you're already on the tour. Usually that's changed a little bit.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
You felt like James Blake went to Harvard and he
was a top player.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
There's a little bit more of this. There are some others,
but traditionally, especially in the foreign players, they they're a
pro by and they've been training, by the way, NonStop
since they were like five. That's right, by the way,
here's some funny. Well, let's come back and we'll close out.
Lots of reaction to my which I'll stand by. No
(25:36):
one has ever gotten married if a man used a
gift certificate on the very first date with the girl,
it's never happened. I do not believe it has happened
in the history of the world. But a lot of
people weighing in on my he's not that into you theory.
If he's using a gift certificate on the very first date.
I'm not talking about date six or date eight, or
saving money because you're gonna get married or whatever.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
I'm talking about the first day.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
You have upset the thrifty contingent of our audiencer, which
is considerable. People like value, they like a good deal.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
My wife.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
I don't know if anything other than like seeing our
baby smile or playing fetch with Ginger out in the yard.
I don't know if anything makes Kerry happier than getting
a great deal.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
I will tell you this.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
If you had taken Carrie out on a date, where
did you go on your first day?
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Do you remember?
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Yeah, of course a Peninsula hotel like to like the
rooftop of the Peninsula.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, okay, fabulum where Jesse Kelly maxed out your credit
card on eighty dollars shots of tequila. Yes, that's right.
I will say, I don't know that they have gift
certificates at the Peninsula Hotel, so I don't even know.
They probably don't even sell gifts to That's a super
high end place. Well done by you. We went on
our first date to bowling. Very romantic guy that I am.
(26:54):
Laura Travis and I were you better than her? Because
your wife is very athletic. She is, I'm not sure
that I would put money on you to beat her
in bowling necessary.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I'm actually a really good bowler. Oh it is, Oh
looking a couple of bowling leagues. I was over over
two hundred. Never told me this you were like the
big Lebowski guy. You were on the bowling team. I
was in a bowling league. I was, you know, getting
it up near.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I think I had have one eighty five average or
something like that, which is pretty good. I mean, it's
not like, so this is why you went first date bowling.
You were like, let me show you how I roll
a lady. Literally, and it's now been torn down that
bowling alley. But I do think if I had taken
her to Chili's and I've been like, boom, I got.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Whatever you wanted.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Chili's mom gave me this gift certificate, I don't think
we'd be married. I think she might have found it
so funny that she was willing to hang around. But
we didn't have any money of any significant nature we
started dating, So maybe she would have been more forgiving
than not. Maybe she's listening her now she can text me.
I think it would have been a I think it
would have been a big no. And I think, again,
(28:05):
guys out there, I'm trying to save you. I'm trying
to get you married, have kids, live happily ever after.
Don't use the gift certificate on the very first date.
Because the girl is going to be like, he didn't
even think I was worthy of actual credit card, actual cash.
I'm just telling you, I think there's a little bit,
a little bit of filibustering going on here of all
of the people who want to make their case play
that the gift certificate on the first date is fine.
(28:25):
This is podcast listener Brian from Jacksonville.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Jay J. Hit it.
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Hey claim Bucks is Brian from Jacksonville.
Speaker 11 (28:33):
I want to get Clay's opinion on the fact that
the Minnesota Bikings just hired a male cheerleader as their
lead cheerleader.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Is going woke?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
What is that? I just that's not That's not I
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
I do know that they have been putting gay slash
trans slash dudes and look. To be fair, there is
a difference between a male cheerleader who is like a
stunter and is throwing a girl up in the air
and she's doing like flips and everything else and a
guy who is like in sparkles in sequins and is
dancing with the girls the first one. If you have
those kind of cheerleaders, more power to them. They can't
(29:08):
do the stunts without them. No, no negativity, let's colleges
have that some NFL teams do the whole guy in
a sequence like dancing around is crazy, by the way,
So I'm very anti that my wife went in. She said,
I think it really depends on the stage your are
in life. You and I were broke and living on
law school loans and we started dating, so I likely
(29:29):
would have forgiven the use of a gift certificate. But
by today's standards, I'm not sure I would accept a
gift certificate on a first date. Also, your nephew is
actually fifteen, not fourteen. And she says she's skeptical that
Buck can serve one hundred miles an hour.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Oh okay, okay, Now it's on, Laura, Now it's on.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
There's gonna be video. There's gonna be video of this.
It has to happen. It probably has to happen. Some
people are saying Buck's serving in tennis. I want to
see you do one hundred miles an hour. Also, in
my offense, the kid had a birthday like three months ago.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
That's pretty close.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Like he's now fifteen, but like in May he turned
I think I get a pass on that. If you're
an uncle and you're within like a couple of months
of how old your nieces or nephews are? Like, I
don't think that's a big whiff by me, But he's fifteen. Now,
we got a bunch of talkbacks. Let's roll these over.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
We're gonna get this guy drug tested too. He's older
than we fought. You know what else is in what
else is in this?
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I was definitely ringing the game here. I thought he
was fourteen. My son is fourteen? He uh this his nephew,
Clay's fourteen year old nephew shows up. He's got like
a beard, tattoos on his arms. Get benched three hundred.
He's like, hey, I played tennis, he's got three kids.
Mortgage already served a tour in.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Nom Sunday drop with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
And listen in San Antonio. Who listens on the Great
w A I play it?
Speaker 12 (30:52):
Hey guys, it's Melissa, san Antonio, Texas. I wanted to
let you guys know that ten years ago I went
on a blind date a young man who took me
to a very nice Italian restaurant and did pay with
a gift card. This past May, we celebrated our eight
year wedding anniversary. But trust me, I still give him
crap about paying with that gift card.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
So she kind of saved you there at the end, Clay,
But that's clearly going in the you know, maybe some
people doesn't bother.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Happy anniversary. Melissa overlooked it. She overlooked it. Hey, by
the way, if you're really this guy like, this guy
probably had abs. This guy probably looked like like Ali's husband,
like you know what I mean, this guy could sell
men's bathing suits or something.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
If you got.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
To get a lot of people went away in if
you missed it yesterday, I said, there's no marriage that
has ever occurred where a man paid for the first
date with a gift card at Chili's, at Bottomless Wings,
at any of the Buffalo Wild Wings. So Melissa, congratulations.
Maybe duck out and go find the waiter with the
(32:01):
card so she doesn't see. But I actually would like
to hear from Melissa about what her thought process was
on that first date, the blind date, when he played
with the game. I'm telling you he had some he
had some magic something going on there. There was an
X factor that this guy brought to the table. I mean, Clay,
was he six' three was he six.' four we all
know some, of these some of. These ladies the, height
(32:23):
THING which i personally, don't understand and THAT whenever i
said this was because you're so short people someone came up. To,
me actually no one person came up to Me, In highlands,
so like you're much TALLER than i thought.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
You'd BE do i look?
Speaker 12 (32:35):
Really?
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Short well what?
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Is this they've said it to, You too CLAY and
i and they didn't pick us for. This reason put.
Us together we are both six. Feet tall we are
not lying. To you you can stand us back. TO back,
i mean, You know clay might be like like an
eighth of an inch taller.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Or something we are both six. Feet tall uh and and,
it's like but people are shocked, by THIS which i.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Don't know my favorite is my wife is five to
TWO and, i SAID if I were, i've eight would
you have?
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Dated me she said.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
PROBABLY not, I, Know OKAY carrie's i think five, to?
Three honey how tall? ARE you i think she's five? To,
three uh maybe five? To four and she also is
like you WERE like i. JUST was i just was
torn off the, amusement park you KNOW what. I mean
i just made. The cut, all right let's get To
uh Dustin, From. Maricopa arizona listens ON. Kfy i this
(33:22):
is bb.
Speaker 11 (33:23):
Hey Claim buck Dustin, From. Americopa, Arizona, hey clay you
should put a pull Up on twitter or x and
see which, one's worse using a gift certificate for your
first date or showing up on a date on an
e scooter Like.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
The BUCKSTA can i just soon Tell Me New, york
city how often do people go to dates on? E
scooters i honestly have. No, idea well why are we
limiting It To New. York City there's east winners All,
over Miami. In okay no One in nashville would show
up for a gate for a gate for a date
on an e scooter and have any success in life.
(34:01):
At ALL so i think it has to be a
city that is compact where. PEOPLE regularly i don't know
how often people show up. On scooters LIKE if i,
were meeting if you put out, That pole i'll JUST
say i it could go either way. FOR me i
think probably scooter is a. Little WORSE but i think
it would be like a fifty five forty five. Pole
SITUATION if i had a BUDDY and i, Was, like
(34:23):
hey let's go meet for. A beer and he showed
up on a Scooter in nashville with a. Helmet on
he would never hear the end of it. FROM me
i think he would just immediately turn around. AND leave
i wasn't wearing a helmet because helmets don't fit my.
Giant head so don't worry. About that, all right there's
no helmet with my. E, scooter.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Uh to, Be safe.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
THAT'S True cce Debbie From, Long beach california listens On
k Eibae. The patriot what's?
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Going on let's? Play it hi.
Speaker 13 (34:50):
Clan back This is Debbie From long beach about the
gift certificate on the first date at. A restaurant it
wouldn't bother me at ALL because i would look for
so many other things besides how. HE paid i would
look for did he hold my chair?
Speaker 2 (35:08):
For me did he open my?
Speaker 13 (35:09):
Car door did he chew with his? Mouth closed was?
Speaker 4 (35:13):

Speaker 2 (35:18):
He PAID can I say debbie could do? VOICEOVER work.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
I would debbie has an. Unbelievable voice she sounds like
somebody who, uh yeah legit could be a. Voice actor maybe.
She is she's Out, In california Frank, In Columbia, south carolina.
Gamecock country what?
Speaker 7 (35:35):
You got my WIFE and i was first date was
for coffee and hers was FREE because i whipped out
my five punches and you get a free cup of.
Coffee card, so yeah on our very. First, date no
my wife's coffee was free and so but it was
almost amazing.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
The.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Punch card the girl on the first date and you
pulled out your coffee club, Punch, card frank can we?
Just say can we, Just, say frank you're. A champion
obviously you won. The race you've got your, lovely wife
And but i'm, telling, you man you you you stepped
into that race with it with a satchel of rocks on.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Your, back man that's not an easy one to. Pull
off so good. On you can you imagine pulling out the.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Punch card you're not even gonna throw down the four
dollars for her cup. Of coffee, you're, like hey it's,
buy one get, one. FREE babe i, JUST wow i
can't believe.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
That, worked jerry this, is, Great, great yeah.
Speaker 14 (36:34):
Play it my brother in law took a date out
using a home depot rental truck, for delivery and you
picked her up and they went on. Her date but
he was only allowed to use it for seventy, five
minutes so apparently the date was kind of.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Cut SHORT can I just i'm gonna throw something.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
OUT there i actually think that THIS is i wouldn't
view this as a negative if you leaned into it
and you made.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
It a, conversation piece because it's so crazy that.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
It's funny like if you showed up IN a u
haul van to pick a girl up on, a date
you clearly if you have a story, for it even
if you have to make the. STORY up i think
that that's a good way to weed out whether somebody
has a sense of humor. Or, Not, right like that's
it's so, to me it's so crazy that. It works
THAT'S what i. WOULD say i just does he not have? A?
Car otherwise was he so scrimped or cramped for time
(37:28):
that he wasn't able to actually drive a? NORMAL vehicle
i have actually more questions. About that it's very funny
to get PICKED up, I mean i guess it's kind
of the equivalent of getting picked up in like A fed,
x Truck which i'm sure is a big, no No
because i'm sure you're not supposed to take girls out
on dates in a ups or A fed x truck
or a. Police car did you did we talk about
the guys at the fire department who picked up the
(37:49):
hot chicks and, drove them and did you get in?
TROUBLE right, i mean, you know if you're going to be,
a fireman you can't pick up a hot lady and
give him a ride on the. Fire truck, come ON
what i thought this was. A merit i think It
Was New. York city the fire, guys like we're d
it's very by, the way this is, Oh. Wow mike
with the illegal use of the hose, Line there i'm
(38:14):
not surprised at all that firemen would pick up cute
girls on, the street but evidently the girls were posting,
about it and it was a huge Controversy In New.
York CITY but i think the fdny's got to get a.
Carve out, you know if she's like a solid seven,
or above she gets a free ride to where she
has to go her. NEXT destination i don't think that's a.
Big deal, but yeah they got in trouble for THAT
(38:35):
one Gg listener Jeff.
Speaker 15 (38:37):
FROM minnesota i can see, It Now dana WHITE hosting
ufc on the lawn Of The white house with an
opening Bout of buck schooling the sixty six year old.

It rolling this, was very.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Very funny yesterday a sixty six year old Called out.

are a man listening to us right now and you.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
Go out for a.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
First date and by, the way if you're a woman
listening to us and the, guy's, like hey, let's split
run as fast as you can in the, opposite direction
that is not a dude you want to. Be with
he might as well be wearing a MALE feminist. T
SHIRT todd ff had this, To, say.
Speaker 16 (39:20):
HEY guys i once took a girl out and she
tried to split the CHECK and i picked, it up
looked her straight in the face, and said what kind
of guys you've been hanging out with that don't pay for?
The check and, YOU know i didn't marry, that girl
but it definitely scored me, some points.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
No doubt and by THE way i, Toased, it oh.
GO ahead i was also going to SAY that.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
I was gonna, play this but if you missed. It
earlier buck has been challenged on his ability to hit
one hundred mile. An hour served lots of people in
the comments not very very, favorable.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
Here but it, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Excuse me the comments are about seventy thirty doubters. Versus,
supporters okay seventy, percent doubters which they're not good at
math or they have, bad eyesight but thirty percent, are,
LIKE yeah, i know that's about one hundred miles.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
An Hour so i'm, just Saying j jess got your.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Back here Lawrence In, san, antonio listen, ALL right i believe.
Speaker 17 (40:22):
You can hit one.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Oh two my Name.
Speaker 17 (40:25):
Is lawrence you played, IN college i played anyone who.
Is skilled if you look at the length of the
arm and the length of the tennis racket and the
snap at the top of the serve with brand new
tennis balls on a, first, SERVE yes i believe you
can hit let's say one hundred. And two that's. My
bet HOW do i send you five dollars for?
Speaker 2 (40:46):
The bet this would. Be fun how far do you
think you could kick a. Field goal have you ever thought?
Speaker 1 (40:52):
ABOUT this, I mean i was a reasonable high school,
soccer player, like reasonable, Not good so it was, YOU
know i didn't play In like olympic, development programs although
one of my kids on my one of the guys
on my.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
TEAM did i THAT'S why i know what. That is
he was much better. Than, ME uh i don't know what's?
What's like?
Speaker 1 (41:10):
What's like what's reasonable athleticism but? Not good THAT'S where
i would put myself with kicking a FOOTBALL at i
am not good at throwing. A football i'm good at throwing.
A baseball i shouldn't. Say good i'm reasonable at throwing.
A baseball i do not have a. Good spiral that
IS because i never. PLAYED football i would think, that
you if you played soccer and you have. DECENT technique
i would think most decent guy soccer players would be
(41:32):
able to make a twenty ish yard field goal without too,
Much difficulty SO that I would i would HAVE thought
i could. Hit thirty that would have been. My guest
but maybe that's a little. Too, FAR no i think
twenty five is probably a good. OVER under i. DON'T
know i haven't actually, Tried this but if you have decent,
foot contact then your and you have a decent. FOOT
(41:53):
strength i think twenty five yards is is a very.
Reasonable potential do you have video of you doing A
field this show is Turning the Clay and buck middle
Aged man.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
Olympics here.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
I'VE never i don't Know that i've tried a. Field
goal my brother in law. TORE his i think he
tore his like hamstring trying to prove, this, well no
that he could kick a thirty yard. FIELD goal i,
mean again a lot of this stuff just comes down.
TO stretching i was mentioning because we were talking about
your one hundred mile an HOUR and i was talking,
about throwing and a ton of people reached out to
(42:29):
me and, they said, you know when you're trying to
do that laser at a minor league baseball game OR
a i think they still have.
Speaker 2 (42:36):
Him at a few major.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
League teams just not like you're getting loose. At all
so you're just stepping. In raw if you're. Not loose
the older, you get the more likely you are to.
Pull something somebody said to, me ONCE and i think
it's accurate that the definition of age is you go
to bed feeling great and wake up feeling. Like, Crap,
(42:58):
right like you just wake up and your shoulders, somehow
hurts and, you're LIKE all i did was get, into,
Bed right it's NOT like i went and did. A
triathlon i think there's a lot of truth. To that
you go, to bed, you're, like man that was a.
GREAT day i. Feel fantastic let me go ahead and
turn off. The lights, next morning you wake up and
you're just. In pain that is the definition of getting
old and middle Aged man olympics is it's really easy
(43:20):
to hurt yourself if you have not gotten. Loose beforehand
wasn't there the comedian who's the? Comedian who there's video.
Of him he tried to DUNK and i think, he like,
oh yeah he like ripped his hamstring and broke his
knee at the. SAME time i mean he actually it's
actually harsh to watch because he really messed. Himself, up, so,
