Speaker 1 (00:01):
Bold, reverence, and occasionally random The Sunday hang with Playing
Buck podcast, it starts now.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
I do when I run around with my kids in
the backyard. Now, Buck, I've never torn my acl or
my achilles tendon or anything like that. But now that
I'm over forty, I definitely think gotta be careful on
the jumping, like I don't.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
I got a bearly injure my lot, I got my hammies.
My hamstrings, men, they're like a violin string. I gotta
I gotta make sure loosen those guys up, because you know,
we're at the age now too. It used to be
you get injured and you're like, I'll be you know,
you could play through it and then you just a
week or two you'd be fine.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
You pull a muscle.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Now it's like a six to eight week ordeal.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
No doubt.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
And speaking of ordeal, I don't know why roundabouts exist
anywhere in the country. We've taken them from Europe and
we brought them here. But I've been mentioning that I've
got my fifteen year old and I take him out
and I'm training him, teaching him how to drive.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Right now.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
This past weekend, Buck, we hit a roundabout in downtown Franklin,
the main little town square there. I don't know what
I was thinking taking him on that road. He's written
around the roundabout with me driving before, the panic on
his face buck when we got to the roundabout, and
trying to explain to him how to deal with what

(01:25):
inevitably ended up being a completely packed roundabout. It made
me forget about how insanely difficult it is to hit
a roundabout if you've never been in one before, and
there aren't that many. There's that great scene in Vacation.
I think it's European Vacation where Chevy Chase gets caught
and he's like, hey, look, kid's big Ben. And as

(01:47):
you're driving around, you think to yourself, this is going
to be a disaster. Washington Square in DC. I used
to live right off of it, Washington Circle right there.
Many people will know what I'm talking about. Right up
in between the George Washington Air and DuPont Circle. Nobody
knows how to drive on a roundabout, and trying to
teach a kid how to drive on a roundabout is

(02:07):
a disaster too.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
I think I think I've heard this, and this may
just be. This may just be socialist propaganda. Yes, but
I've heard that roundabouts have lower traffic issues than I
stop signed.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
I don't believe it.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
I don't believe it either because I'm terri. When I
was driving in Scotland on the wrong side of the
freaking road, yes and gunning these roundabouts or people were
ripping through them, and they were like four lanes deep
in the roundabout, I saw my life flashing before my eyes.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
You've got pedestrians, you've got like four or five different exits.
I think they look kind of cool, right, I can
see why from a design purposes you can be like, oh,
this roundabout in the neighborhood, it's fantastic. Nobody has any
idea how to drive on them, and if there's anything
more than one lane, it's a recipe for disaster. I
really legitimately thought there's no way we're ever getting off

(02:57):
this roundabout without this car being totaled. We made it,
but this is now the scariest thing that I've done.
And the driving training process is get on a roundabout
with a kid trying to learn again, even hardly explained
with him.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Sundays with Clay and Buck.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
You told me that I had no idea. You sat down,
he said, I'm fired up about cranberry sauce right now.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
Oh yeah, big time. Interesting article in the Wall Street
Journal on cranberries. First of all, cranberry sauce very polarizing.
It's a once a year thing. Why is that? Like
what turkey and cranberry sauce for most people like a
whole roast turkey. People say, oh, slice turkey, Yeah okay,
But in general, and Clay is a cold cutsky, so

(03:44):
he's probably a fan of turkey and cheese.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
But correct.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Nonetheless, in general, you only do the big turkey once
a year, and you do the cranberry sauce once a year.
You don't see cranberry sauce is a very seasonal item.
It's like pumpkin spice lattes. And with this article in
the Wall Street Journal, talk is that ocean spray, which
you may know, is the thing that makes like cranberry

(04:06):
juice that you drink as well as well as cranberry sauce,
is a farmer collective from the northeast of the United
States that's responsible for like a vast majority of the
cranberries out there. And this has just been sort of
a campaign for a long time to expand cranberry into

(04:27):
a year long fruit and not just a once a
year thing. And I'm wondering how you feel about that.
I mean, just should cranberry Like, why don't people put
cranberry in their cranberries in their smoothies. Why aren't people
just throwing cranberry sauce on their you know, I don't know,
on their lamb chops or something.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
I am all in on big cranberry. I got made
fun of this. I like all of it. I eat
crazins all the time. I order cranberry juice regularly. I
might have the best urinary tract on the planet as
a re because I think that's supposed to be a
strong urinary health tract. My understanding, because I'm buying into

(05:05):
the big cranberry propaganda may not even be true. I
would eat cranberries. I would eat them, you know, every week.
I'm totally fine with that. I don't know why. This
is just something that and I like the canned cranberries,
like the jelly cranberry, and that may not be very
healthy for you, I don't know, but I love that too.
I'm all in on cranberries. So if we need it.

(05:27):
If we need an endorsement, Buck, I will be I
will beat a cranberry emissary to America.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
I do.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
I think it should expand out. You know, I think
that there's more use for cranberry. I like the tart
sweetness of it too, you know, I think it's a
more complex flavor.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
So people are gonna.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Think that you and I just got paid so much
money by Cranberries to to come here full throated endorsements.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
If everyone listening to this, I bet ninety ninety five
percent are gonna have cranberry sauce on the Thanksgiving's true,
it's like a requirement and it just kind of came
out of nowhere.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
And why does it? Is a great question. Why there
are occasional foods. I mean peeps for instance, for Easter, right,
the little the little peep thing show up.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
So that's really a food.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
But yeah, sure, well yeah, but they don't exist year round.
What's the corn, the candy corn or whatever. It doesn't exist.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
You're gonna go to February eggs?

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Why don't we know? That's a dazy round. They's not
exactly a health food.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
But Sunday Hay with Clay and Buck.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Apparently we just got a phone calling Clay from a
very nice woman who used to cut my hair when
I was in grade school. So we got an audience
that listens, you know, stretching way back when to coast
to coast, all over the country, all over the US,
including back in my hometown of New York City. Uh yeah,
her name was Your name is Kim, Kim the hairdresser.
Thank you for calling in. I hope I always behaved

(06:50):
well seated in the in the chair, and uh, have
you ever gotten to truly? I will tell you I
got when I moved to Miami because I was like,
I'm just gonna go to like one of the local
places here. I don't know if you could really tell.
I don't even if people at home could really tell,
but it was one of the It was the worst
haircut I've ever gotten in my life. And it was
because they there's a very common thing here. I think
it's called I don't know if it's a fade or

(07:12):
they like shave around your head and then sort of
faded in to the rest of your hair, and I basically,
like the back of my head six months ago was effective.
People couldn't see it when I went on TV or whatever,
but it was shaved like it was almost all the
way all the way down. It was a very Miami haircut.
So you do got to be careful. You don't know

(07:33):
what you're getting into.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Sometimes my wife is still fired up about the haircut
I got for the day before our wedding.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
You had some pretty funky haircuts back.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
I had some wacky haircuts over the years, but my time,
did you have this too?

Speaker 3 (07:49):
We're like like like circa nineteen ninety eight where people
started doing like long hair, like guys did long hairs
but center part and behind.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
They'd put their hair behind that. Yeah, a lot of
the ear tuck, long hair ear tuck. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
My my wife said, first of all, she was like,
don't get your haircut because I go to and I'm
probably gonna lose some more sponsors here somewhere.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
I would.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
I go a lot to like great Clips, and you know,
like the I pay like twenty dollars for a haircut.
I don't go to like fancy haircut places. Typically, I'll
just go into you know, mall place, master cuts, whatever
these places are called. And the day before my wedding,
I went and my wife if she were here right
now and grabbed the mic, would describe it as the

(08:34):
worst haircut that any groom has ever gotten in the
history of a wedding probably, And it was a real
bowl cut, like the bowl cut that little boys get,
you know, like when myst.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
This on the website, right, didn't we actually didn't. We
did find the pho.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
My senior year class photo is an exercise in in
in wackiness. The boys, my three boys, and my wife
at one point all had as their backdrop, you know,
the picture on their iPads or their screens, my senior
year class photo.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
But this photo, the haircut that I got was awful.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Her mom went with me, and when we got back,
she was like, just how did you let this happen?
Like what were you thinking that you allowed this haircut
to occur? So all the wedding photos she considers to
be ruined because of my bowl cut.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
That how is how is training your oldest son to
drive going?

Speaker 4 (09:26):
I have to tell you.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Is it is maybe the most terrifying thing I've ever
done in my life as parent.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Why did you just hire a driving instructor?

Speaker 4 (09:36):
First of all, I don't know how. I don't know
how that works.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
I think we do have a driving instructor, but he
has to have two hundred miles of instruction before the
driving instructor will take him. So we're in the process
of working our way towards two hundred miles. And the
roundabout is terrifying. Also the number of people that will
be unhappy because we're not driving there very fast, you know,

(10:00):
and they like drive by and you see them like
looking back at you, and sort of you've got to
get it.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Like a placard you can put in your rear window
that says student driver, you know.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, it would help because I'll look down he's like, man, Dad,
we're going really fast and like we're going eighteen all right,
we're going eighteen miles an hour. Buddy, you can step
it up a little bit. But but yeah, it's it
is the most nerve racking thing I have done as
a parent. And I'm not even sure what the clib
Maybe maybe the actual birth. Watching the actual birth is
second most nerve racking, but the from a parenting perspective,

(10:31):
this is terrifying.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
I mean, I can tell you puppy training is coming along.
It's really rough. The puppy wakes carry up every morning
at six o'clock in the morning to go play and
take it outside and stuff. I probably should take over
some of that duty myself, but so far Carrie's been
handling it. Not a surprise to Anyboddy. She's much more
on it than I am. But the problem with trying
to train the puppy is that they're very cute and

(10:52):
mischievous and they want to do things that you don't
want them to do. But then they just look at
you with the puppy eyes. Clay and then when it works.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
On Sunday Sizzle with Clay and Buck.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
We have Aaron who sounds like a brilliant audio file. Aaron,
what's going on?

Speaker 5 (11:17):
Hey guys, thanks for having me. You know, I live
in San Diego. I got tickets to Metallica. I'm a
diehard fan. Up at so count La. Throve through the
horrendous La traffics, got to the stadium, got my fifteen
dollars beer, and I couldn't hear a freaking note they
were playing. You know, it's just loud gargles sounds. I
couldn't even make out those the music. I hate stadiums.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
I agree with Bucks, you're a brilliant man, Aaron, because
see you've experienced the reality. That's what I always telling people.
Stadiums are not built for outdoor state. It's not built
for acoustics. No, there's no way you're gonna be able
to really if you're somebody that wants to hear the
crispness of those notes, you want to hear those vocals.
Clay's Clay just he's just there's.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
I just want the big show, the big screen.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
I would still like to go see the Taylor Swift extravaganza,
like back in the day.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
U two Rolling Stones.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
The big stadium shows I think are really cool, just
to see the way they put them on.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
So I don't really sound.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Do you want to go to this thing in Vegas,
the Sphere?

Speaker 4 (12:19):
I do one hundred. I want to go to the Sphere.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
For those of you who don't know, the owner of
the Knicks, James Dolan and Madison Square Garden, built this
incredible concert. I mean really, it's just a venue that
is called the Sphere right off of the Vegas Strip.
And I believe they had you two open up for
like nineteen straight days or something like that, and they

(12:44):
want to do a UFC event. I saw Dana White
talking about this. Obviously, the UFC has major connections in
Las Vegas. It looks incredible. Yes, I want to go
see an event there. I'm figuring they'll probably have something
huge for the super Bowl this year because the Super
bowls in Vegas, so I'm hoping I'm out for some
of the festivities surrounding that.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
When is the Super Bowl? Do you know what month
the super Bowl is in? It's January or February. Okay,
that's pretty Yeah, it's in February. I believe that.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
I haven't even looked up the official date, but usually
February eleventh. Our staff tells us this year. My argument
has been for some time that they should move the
super Bowl to the Sunday before President's Day and give
us basically a football holiday weekend every year. To me,

(13:35):
feels like a no brainer. That would be an easy
calendar change to add one week to football season, which
I don't think most people would complain about, and then boom,
everybody gets off Monday and it revitalizes President's Day, which
I feel like other than Mattress Cells, most people really
kind of don't think very much about President's Day.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Are my beloved Jets or my beloved Giants in the
running for the super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
It is an awful year for New York football fans. No,
they are not in the running.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
That's a shame.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Maybe they're both actually atrocious. Should I be a Dolphins
fan then Dolphins are? Yeah, you should. It's actually you're
kind of coming in in a very favorable time because
the Dolphins have been trying to replace Dan Marino for
twenty five years now whatever the math is on that,
maybe thirty years now, and Tua is really very good.

(14:28):
They're gonna win the division I think. Sorry Bill's fans
and uh and the host a home playoff game, so
that that's not been very common. You could be kind
of fair weather fan, the fanning yourself into a really
good spot. So yes, I would be a Dolphins fan
if I were you.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
Everything I know from about Dolphins football I learned from
watching ace Ventura.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
So you know, oh, that's a great They couldn't couldn't
make that movie now, but there's a lot of things
in ace Ventura that would be very.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Marino makes it. It makes a appearance in that.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah, don Shu means quarterback, Yeah, don I mean that's
NFL license they were fine with that movie being made,
they would run in the opposite direction. Now, by the way,
the movie's funny. I showed it for my kids a
couple of Thanksgiving ago, holds up for them.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
They thought it was pretty funny.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
What are you thinking of the movie that? What is
the movie from our youth?

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Now?

Speaker 3 (15:15):
I'm giving up the joke here because Clay and I
are basically the same age. Don't tell anyone what is
the movie from our youth that your kids love the most?

Speaker 4 (15:24):
Well, it changes based on how they age.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
Because but like right now, like like right now, like
in the last year or two, what's the one that
they have liked them? Is there one that really sticks
out to me?

Speaker 4 (15:34):
Well?

Speaker 2 (15:34):
The last the most two most reason we watched They
loved both of them, The Lost Boys and Scream, and
they really want to watch the entire Scream.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
That was around Halloween.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
We were watching all those movies, and before that it
was I would probably say Indiana Jones. But they also
love Star Wars, like the original Star Wars, but the
Indiana Jones movies.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
They thought we were pretty phenomenal.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Dan in minnes So, what's going on? Dan?

Speaker 6 (16:02):
Hello? With the votes coming in as early as they
do now, no matter how energize the Republican base or
the how good the polls look, I'm ready to be
disappointed because as the election nears, the Democrats ground game
will will disappoint us election after election. And I think

(16:26):
we have every right to know as long as we're
going to be voting this early, what the what the
score is as the votes come in. That way, we
won't be surprised and we won't have such a traffic jam.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
Thank you for the call. The amount of thank you,
the amount of defeatism is. I mean, I'm trying to
think of the fan base that the Republican Party would represent.
Right now, the Republican Party is is like the New
York Jets. There is almost no faith that anything could
ever go possibly right. I would have said historically, buck

(17:04):
the Detroit Lions. Although here's a good sports analogy for
you to drop out at Thanksgiving, because the Lions will
be playing on Thanksgiving, and everybody out there who's listening
right now, if you are not a sports fan at all,
but you want to blow your family away on Thanksgiving
by just dropping an incredible sports stat, here's one for you.
Buck the Detroit Lions are eight and two. Detroit Lions

(17:25):
play every Thanksgiving they are eight and two. They usually
play the early game, so you got all your family
and friends around, you can say Detroit Lions are eight
and two.

Speaker 4 (17:34):
They haven't been eight and two buck since nineteen sixty two.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
JFK was alive the last time the Detroit Lions started
off a season eight and two
