Speaker 1 (00:00):
Sunday Hang is brought to you by Chalk Natural Supplements
for guys, gals, and nothing in between. Fuel your day
at Chalk dot Com, Bold Reverence, and occasionally random The
Sunday Hang with Clay and Buck podcast. And it starts. Now, Well,
this is like the old man rule that I've instituted,
(00:21):
at least for myself, which is, if I'm going to
travel somewhere for like leisure, the bed has to be
about as comfortable as my current bed or else. I
don't want to go like I used to do. I
used to rough it, man. I used to stay and
you know, I would go to like when I was
a college kid. I would stay in places where I mean, heck,
I stayed at places where I wasn't even sure my
(00:42):
stuff was going to be there the next morning when
I woke up, right, I mean, that was just the
reality of it. Now that I'm an old man, I'm like, what,
what's the what's the thread count? Is it quiet? Will they?
Will they leave me? Leave me alone until at least
ten am? Like I am very different rules now for vacation. Well,
I will just point out and all of you high
akers out there are going to get angry at me.
(01:03):
The wilderness has houses and hotels near it. I don't mind.
Like that's great, Clay's going after you campers out there.
Clay is a city. Is a city, kid, not even
like I'm fine, Like I'll go on a hike, I
will go, uh go canoeing, I will go. I'm not
really that excited about putting up a tent and sleeping
(01:23):
on the ground. Now, I we are. We are very
sympatical on this one. And I grew up doing that
because my dad liked to do it and I did
not like sleeping on the ground. I like beds. I
like beds.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Air.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
This has air conditioning, every wilderness near it, not necessarily
in itself. Uh, there's always a place to sleep where
you can still experience the wild. And so I am
a let's go, let's experience the wild, but then let's
return to a bed. You know, humanity has evolved so
that we do not have to sleep on the floors,
(01:58):
and I think we believe. So we both like glamping,
and about half of our audience right now is pulling
our man cards. So I think that just happened. I
think we both were on temporary man card restriction here
on the show Clay because we see eye to eye
on this one. I am not I don't want to
go anywhere where people are like you might get eaten
(02:19):
by the wildlife. Too bad, you know you're visiting them.
It's like, I'm not into that. I want to at
least be able to get in my car and leave.
In fact, we had dinner with your dad recently and
you and your brother were talking about being abandoned in
the in the wilds of Alaska when we have on
a trip. The grizzly bears all around us and they're like,
we may not be able to get you guys out.
You might have to sleep here. We had nothing. We
(02:41):
were just going to sleep on the riverbank overnight because
we got dropped in by helicopter and the helicopter couldn't
retrieve us and we were freezing and had no food.
That was a quote vacation, okay, ten years ago. That
was my vacation. Hi, don't eaten by bears the middle
of the night. Boys. My dad, by the way, loves
that stuff. He's like, you never feel is alive, as
(03:02):
when you think you're gonna lose the battle with mother nature.
Like he loves that stuff. I have no in hikers
and campers are right now, just furiously uh from there.
We're going to jell it up on these emails and talkbacks,
but we just have it. I mean, we'll be safe.
We'll be safe and warm while you guys are out
on the trail. That's exactly right. I mean some of
(03:23):
you still want to sleep in caves. That's not my thing,
you know, like, oh, look it's a great cave, it's
try there might be a bear in there. I'll just
stay at a hotel. We got Kyle and Anchorage, Alaska.
By the way, an Anchorage native who I think has
something interesting to say. Play it, play go ahead.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Hi, Yes, Kyle here from Anchorage. I wanted to let
you guys know someone that lives in Alaska, loves the outdoors,
love spending time in the outdoors. I want to affirm
your position though. I'm someone that will hike starting at
six am all the way out to midnight, but I
will make it a priority that I will get a
hot shower and go back to my bed at night.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Kyle, you call a smart man, A smart man just civilized.
I mean, this is what we did. We we evolved
to not have to sleep on the ground. You can
experience nature's munificence that I pronounced that correct, the incredible
aspects of nature without needing to sleep on dirt. Sunday,
hang with Clay and Buck. I'm probably going to shock you,
(04:23):
but there are some people out there that do not
agree with everything that we say on the program, and
in fact, let's start to run through some of those
with a lot of great talkbacks. Let's see Jack and
Phoenix FF. He's listening on news Talk five point fifty
k f y. I, Bucky's got a question for you.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I just want to let fuck know that, Hey, you O,
Jesse Kelly a dinner at Red Lobster, then I don't
think you're going to have to be in danger of
any seventy five dollars shots coming down like Clay got
stuck with. Okay, Hey, you guys, have a great day,
you have a great show.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
What is the most offensive drink that Jesse could order
at Red Lobster? Do you have any idea bout it?
What do you think? I bet Jesse could put away
those like my ties that are you know, two feet
high off the table with the little umbrellas or whatever.
He'd probably drink some of those at Red Lobster. The
what is the that is a fun question. What is
(05:21):
the most expensive bottle that Red Lobster has on the shelf?
What could Jesse drive up the cost with? I bet
the most expensive drink on the Red Lobster menu is
fourteen ninety nine. That's my bet. Fourteen that's a hot
That's a lot to me to spend on a drink,
some sort of mixed drink. I bet there's a fifteen
(05:42):
dollars mixed drink. I think that's the highest he could go.
And the nicest tequila. I think there might be some
Hose Cuervo silver going on. I think that's about it. Yeah,
the let's see here we go JJ. We got a
lot of responses to my suggestion that you should never
sleep on the ground. There's always mot hells or places available.
We've we've ascended, We've ascended as a species from needing
(06:05):
to sleep on the ground. Well, this is a little
bit different, Central Florida. He's listening on w f LA,
or Orlando affiliate. This is kind of high end. I
think I think he's trying to brag as if he's
been roughing it.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
But listen I'm listening to your show camping on my
pontoon boat. I have a tent set up on the deck,
and I'm in a lake pretty much in the middle
of nowhere in central Florida.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Okay, we appreciate everybody who listens everywhere. That's not really
roughing it now. I was gonna say, when you're when
you're on the boat, because the boats got bathroom, hot
and cold, running water, refrigeration, and by the way, somebody
could get me out on the boat tent situation, as
long as we had a gator watch going on there,
because Orlando is Gatortown, my friend, there's a lot of
(06:53):
gators in that water. I also not a fan of
sleeping on boats, just gonna go out there like I
did the Disney Cruise. I don't like being anywhere I
can't leave, So I'm okay with boats if I can
see land where I'm like, hey, I could swim in,
or I don't want to go anywhere I can't leave,
So in the middle of the wilderness, if I can't leave,
(07:14):
I'm not in favor of it. We got on the
Disney cru some of my some of the worst experiences
of my life involved being on boats with seasickness. I
mean truly worst experiences of my life. And one that
always sticks out is in we did a a class
trip in the eighth grade. I remember this to uh
(07:37):
Mystic Seaport in Connecticut, right, I think that it sounds
like a super high end class trip. We went to
like Mammoth Cave. No, no, no, no, this was not
this was this is like going to the aquarium Clay.
This is not super okay, this is like pretty Because
I live in New York City, so Mystic is like
a you know, hour and a half drive or something.
It's not that far. But I just remember we did
whale watching. We did a whale maybe it was the
(08:00):
Cape codtrip. I can't remember, but we did a whale
watching trip at the school. And I remember being out
on this boat and it wasn't just us, there were
other people that paid a wheel watch and everybody on
this boat. Basically because it was cold, choppy, everybody started
to get seasick and it was like a six hour tour.
Forget a three hour tour like Gilligan. This was a
six hour tour and everybody was tossing cookies. It was nightmare, nightmare.
(08:24):
Fuel the world. I don't want I don't want to
ever be on a boat where I can't see land.
I'm okay if like I just I mean, look, we're
signing wimpier and wimpeer with the passing segment here. I
appreciate the fact that at some point in time my
ancestors got on a boat and they were on it
for months. They did enough boating without being able to
see the land. For me, for my entire life, I
(08:46):
did this cruise and Buck, I wish you could have
seen my face. We were supposed to it had we
had the Disney cruise. We had like a six year old,
a three year old, and basically like a baby, and
they may have been a little bit older, but they
were young, all five of us in the same tiny
little cabin, and we were supposed to stop in Jamaica.
The only reason to go on a cruise is so
(09:07):
you can get off the boat, all right. I'm not
one of those people who enjoys being on the boat. Okay.
So you go to the island, you dock, and you
get to leave the boat. And they came on and
they said, hey, tough news. It's too choppy, Caesar, too
choppy for us to port in Jamaica. We can't go
back to land for three days. I would have gotten
(09:28):
on a helicopter and gone to any land at that
point in time. I wish you could have seen my face.
I don't ever want to be stuck on a boat.
If I can see the land, then worst case scenario,
I can jump in. We all know I'm a great
swimmer and I'll be fine. I'll be able to get
to the land. But much like Alcatraz, I don't. And
I lived on an island. I lived in the Caribbean
for two years, so I have no problem being on
(09:50):
an island, even a small island like Gilligan's Island. It's
I just I like the earth. I like the soil
beneath my feet. We see this with me. This with
the same as Jeff from Texas, KK on the tukpack, Hey.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Clay and Buck, this is Jeff from Humble, Texas. I
spent ten years in the Army Infantry. Back in the
eighties and nineties, I camped everywhere. Now I consider camping
is when my hotel stops room service at eleven PM
instead of two AM. Love you guys, take.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Care man man, We love you too. Let me say
I co sign that. I'm like, if the room service
is not twenty four hours, what are we even doing here?
What kind of place is this? I kind of I
like room service. One of my big fears is choking
to death. I get nervous when I have food and
no one else is around. Am I the only person
who thinks this? Like if you're in the room, you
(10:43):
never thought, what if I choke to death? Like what if?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
No, I trust, I trust my h The worst way
to go, I think there are lots of that. Awful
ways to go would be you just go to Red
Lobster and you just take a bite of a delectable
shrimp and next day and you know, it's caught in
your throat and you die. Like people that happens like
one hundred times a year. People just choke to death.
(11:06):
Not all at Red Lobster. It could be Applebe's and
that's the end. And it just feels like that's the
worst way to go, imaginable because you're otherwise healthy, if
you had just simply not taken a bad bite. Choking
on it is not the worst. It's the worst way
to go. It is the worst way to get the
worst way. What is worse than choking food, Clay, There's
(11:28):
a million things that are worse than choking on food.
It is the worst way to go because otherwise, if
you had just bitten your food better, you would still
be alive. Instead, you choke to death on food. You
might be like twenty five years old, in the prime
of your life, and you're just dropping dead at Logan's
roadhouse because you couldn't swallow correctly. It is the worst
(11:50):
way to go. What else people get eaten by komodo
dragons claim? Yet there are worse ways to go. Kimodo dragon, though,
is violent and and you shouldn't have been in the price.
You shouldn't have been risking things near the Komodo dragon.
But the dragon kills you.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Buck.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Your own inability to swallow kills you when you die
on choking on your food. It's the worst way to go.
I I this is a crazy take from claud I'm
one hundred percent right, by the way. He got some
good emails. You can tell me if I'm wrong, but
you're all wrong if you disagree like buck is. This
is from tom My Dad. Greetings from Alice Beach, one
(12:28):
of the fabulous places in the country. My dad fought
in World War two European theater. When my two brothers
and sister would say, Dad, please please take us camping,
his reply, I slept on the ground in North Africa,
all throughout Italy and in de France and Germany, so
you would never have to. As a young history nut,
(12:50):
I had no comeback. That is your dad, I mean,
thank you for his service. That is a great freaking response, Susannah.
It is amazing to me that we spend our lives
working our ass off. Ope, I actually hit the wrong
button there. What happened there? It is we have working
our ass off to have a beautiful, comfortable home, but
then spend thousands of dollars on equipment to cook and
(13:13):
sleep outside as if we were pioneers or members of
the core of discovery. I'm one of those silly people.
I've come to terms with that cognitive dissonance and thoroughly
enjoy hiking and sleeping in the wilderness. I'm surprised that
we've had so few people come for actually come at
I you know what I love to do. I love
to find a place that's reasonably level ground and doesn't
(13:36):
have that many rocks that are going to stick into
my back over the course of the night. And then
I'm gonna put down one of those thin, those thin
mats that you blow into and no matter how hard
you're blowing into it, it feels like it takes forever for
this thing to fill up with air clay. And you
have this thin little thing, and you're gonna lie in
your sleeping bag on this thin little thing on the
(13:58):
ground and tell yourself that this has come. I will
be laughing at you off wrapped in my cozy earth
sheets and enjoy life. By the way, cozy earth sheets
are amazing. I and you should be on a bed,
not on the ground. They're saying now that thousands of
people choke to death every year. Thousands. Yes, of course
(14:19):
you think it's thousands. I said hundreds. It's very My
argument even better, this is the worst way to die,
choking to death when you're just eating a normal meal.
This is very common for Babiesitter is actually one of
the things that people will ask I've got through the
is well CEPR for kids. I'm not not CPR, I
meant Heimlich. Can you do a Heimlich maneuver for kids?
(14:42):
For choking? It's very common. So yeah, Clay, choking is
the other kids thing is even worse. This is I
think it's the worst way. I would rather be eaten
by a great white shark than choke to death at
red lobster. This is your worst take ever, and I
think I think everyone agrees with me. This might actually
your worth your worst tad No, because the shark I'm
(15:03):
not gonna win a fight with. When you lose a
fight with your fork, it's a It's the worst way
to go, Clay. You're essentially a giant sea monster biting
off your leg, bleeding to death over the course of
minutes while it circles you in the water. And you
know that is that is way worse than choking on
a chickender. The shark is designed to kill you. Your meal
(15:24):
is not designed to kill you. You've lost a battle
with something you didn't even know you were fighting against.
I don't I don't you know, I don't even know.
It's like losing a fight to a midget as opposed
to losing a fight to like a UFC fighter. I
would expect that the UFC fighter would choke me out.
If the midget choked me out and I died, then
I would be like, this is a big upset. I
shouldn't have gotten killed by a midget the little people
(15:48):
there we go, Yes, sir, thank you, that's the preferred nomenclature, sir,
the preferred We're gonna tank you more of your calls
and talkbacks to close this out. You can tell Clay
this is probably his worst taken. I think this is
nonumber one all time worst take that Clay has ever
had on the program. That choking is the worst. Choking
on food is the worst way to die. And a
normal meal you're just and then you're dead. You're like, hey,
(16:11):
what if it's not the last supper, it's different. I mean,
it's just like, hey, the choice you made was I'm
gonna have another onion ring and then you die. That
is the worst way to go. You could have just
not had the onion ring. A lot of people people,
you know, people like slipping, people fall off of roofs.
Be very careful everybody all the time because they think
(16:31):
they can do the roofing stuff. You understand the risk
that you have taken on the roof. When you're just
putting a fork into your mouth, you don't think this
is it. This is the last act of my life.
I'm right on this. I if you get a single
person who agrees with you on this, I will, I will.
I'll be shocked by the way Trump is waged in
on Alyssa Farrah and the Maga hat we might have
(16:53):
time for that week come back. He used to work.
He knows her. He knows her. She used to work
in the last communications. I used to see her whenever
I go to the White House, White House Communications director
for Trump Sundays with Clay and Buck. Scott's got a
good question KK on the talkback and we've got a
lot of phenomenal talkbacks that we were going to be
(17:14):
hitting during the course of the show. Uh, he is, uh,
he is out there and he's got a question. It's
a great one. Let's listen, Hey, Clay, what to Hitler,
Nancy Pelosi and Buck heaven Common?
Speaker 5 (17:25):
None of them can hit one hundred mile per hour?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Serve Buck, whoa buddy? I just I just want to
echo because I know the audio wasn't great. He asked,
what do Hitler, Nancy Pelosi, and Buck heaven Common? None
of them can hit one hundred miles per hour? Sorry,
all right, all right, all right, all right, this is enough,
is enough, just just to start the clock. Give me.
(17:47):
I gotta get out on the court. I'm actually going
shooting this weekend. I only have time for one thing
because I have a small child and my wife, you know,
can't carry the whole load. But I am going shooting
this weekend. Next weekend I'll be doing tennis. I will
bring out the actual working speed gun. And I don't
care if I have to show up here with my
arm in a sling to your radio the next day.
(18:07):
We're getting the triple digits, buddy, We're getting the triple digits, Scott.
I mean, that's a strong argument from Scott, and then
a lot of you. Producer Ali can step in you
and I can give opinions on the most controversial things
on the planet, and people are like, yeah, okay, yeah,
kind of abortion, trans war and peace. No problems, no problem,
(18:29):
no issues at all. My take on the Worst Way
to Die has provoked an unbelievable uproar, and some of
you have great taste and recognize that I am, in
fact correct. Danny in New York City w R Radio,
this is pretty funny. JJ. Thanks. I'm sitting here alone
in my car eating Chick fil A And now all
I can think about is I hope I don't die.
(18:52):
Said at least if it happened, it would be on
Chick fil A, like worth it. It's not like you're
eating you know, some like in a roadside half cooked
burger or something stuff Coast to Coast Becky and Phoenix
News Talk five point fifty k f YI. She also
understands great arguments when she hears them.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
This is Phoenix, I to play.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
This is hilarious. It is.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
It's one of my.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Biggest fears too.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
We're just not being able to breathe. There you go
see I'm not wrong about choking to death. And then hh,
Carol in Houston. For all these great people out there,
they understand Carol. Actually listen to what she's done because
she's so afraid she's gonna choke to death while eating
by herself.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Hey, Buck and Clay, this is Carol from Houston. I
have that fear too about choking. That's why I got
my kids in my car, in my house. I had
that life back. So if you do choke, even if
you're by yourself, you can actually use that on yourself.
So you might want to check into that they actually
might be one of your sponsors.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
We actually I have a life back at home, so
maybe they should be a sponsor. I have one here
in preparation for hopefully something we never have to use
it for. But yeah, I think Clay, what you meant, though,
is when I said worst way to die, most people
think of the most painful, awful way. You meant the
most undignified or like unnecessary. I think, which is a
(20:20):
little I'm gonna I'm gonna expand on my argument. I
should have talked more about assumption of risk. If you
swim with sharks and one each you you've assumed it.
When you go to red Lobster, you don't expect to die.
Josh in Springfield, Illinois, he wants to weigh in on choking. Okay, Josh,
what's up?
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Okay? I was wondering if Buck might agree with your
assertion about choking if it was Polish sausage related.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Look at him bringing it all together there. Okay, this
is this is impressive. Yeah, you know, I will tell
you some affinity for Polish sausages. You, of all people
have to be concerned about choking. Well, I was gonna
sausage is a choking risk. This is true. It's hot
dogs actually, cause look this up before you are snickering
out there. Hot dog and sausage in particular choking risk
(21:14):
because you can bite off a piece and it fits
into the windpipe in very snug fest. You gotta be
very careful, very you. You lock it up, Travis over there,
you lock it up, all right, buddy. This is a
public health announcement. We're doing a lot of women out
there gonna be saying this weekend. You have no idea
what danger I'm in. Pamela just said, I'm in an
(21:35):
I hoop in Pensacola having breakfast. Almost spit out my
coffee with your remark about the danger of women. Maybe,
in thank goodness, I was only drinking coffee, not eating
the sausage. You have only yourself to blame, Buckster, So
appreciate Pamela. I'm glad that she is still alive. And
there are there are a lot of reactions rolling in
(22:00):
and we are having a great deal of us trying
to tell everybody, take your time, chew your food. It's
very straightforward
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 Clay and Buck podcast. And it starts. Now, Well,
this is like the old man rule that I've instituted,
(00:21):
at least for myself, which is, if I'm going to
travel somewhere for like leisure, the bed has to be
about as comfortable as my current bed or else. I
don't want to go like I used to do. I
used to rough it, man. I used to stay and
you know, I would go to like when I was

I stayed at places where I wasn't even sure my
(00:42):
stuff was going to be there the next morning when
I woke up, right, I mean, that was just the
reality of it. Now that I'm an old man, I'm like, what,
what's the what's the thread count? Is it quiet? Will they?
Will they leave me? Leave me alone until at least
ten am? Like I am very different rules now for vacation. Well,
I will just point out and all of you high
akers out there are going to get angry at me.
(01:03):
The wilderness has houses and hotels near it. I don't mind.
Like that's great, Clay's going after you campers out there.
Clay is a city. Is a city, kid, not even

go anywhere where people are like you might get eaten
(02:19):
by the wildlife. Too bad, you know you're visiting them.
It's like, I'm not into that. I want to at
least be able to get in my car and leave.
In fact, we had dinner with your dad recently and
you and your brother were talking about being abandoned in
the in the wilds of Alaska when we have on
a trip. The grizzly bears all around us and they're like,
we may not be able to get you guys out.
You might have to sleep here. We had nothing. We
(02:41):
were just going to sleep on the riverbank overnight because
we got dropped in by helicopter and the helicopter couldn't
retrieve us and we were freezing and had no food.
That was a quote vacation, okay, ten years ago. That
was my vacation. Hi, don't eaten by bears the middle
of the night. Boys. My dad, by the way, loves
that stuff. He's like, you never feel is alive, as
(03:02):
when you think you're gonna lose the battle with mother nature.
Like he loves that stuff. I have no in hikers
and campers are right now, just furiously uh from there.
We're going to jell it up on these emails and talkbacks,
but we just have it. I mean, we'll be safe.
We'll be safe and warm while you guys are out
on the trail. That's exactly right. I mean some of
(03:23):
you still want to sleep in caves. That's not my thing,
you know, like, oh, look it's a great cave, it's
try there might be a bear in there. I'll just
stay at a hotel. We got Kyle and Anchorage, Alaska.
By the way, an Anchorage native who I think has
something interesting to say. Play it, play go ahead.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Hi, Yes, Kyle here from Anchorage. I wanted to let
you guys know someone that lives in Alaska, loves the outdoors,
love spending time in the outdoors. I want to affirm
your position though. I'm someone that will hike starting at
six am all the way out to midnight, but I
will make it a priority that I will get a
hot shower and go back to my bed at night.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Kyle, you call a smart man, A smart man just civilized.
I mean, this is what we did. We we evolved
to not have to sleep on the ground. You can
experience nature's munificence that I pronounced that correct, the incredible
aspects of nature without needing to sleep on dirt. Sunday,
hang with Clay and Buck. I'm probably going to shock you,
(04:23):
but there are some people out there that do not
agree with everything that we say on the program, and
in fact, let's start to run through some of those
with a lot of great talkbacks. Let's see Jack and
Phoenix FF. He's listening on news Talk five point fifty
k f y. I, Bucky's got a question for you.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I just want to let fuck know that, Hey, you O,
Jesse Kelly a dinner at Red Lobster, then I don't
think you're going to have to be in danger of
any seventy five dollars shots coming down like Clay got
stuck with. Okay, Hey, you guys, have a great day,
you have a great show.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
What is the most offensive drink that Jesse could order
at Red Lobster? Do you have any idea bout it?
What do you think? I bet Jesse could put away
those like my ties that are you know, two feet
high off the table with the little umbrellas or whatever.
He'd probably drink some of those at Red Lobster. The
what is the that is a fun question. What is
(05:21):
the most expensive bottle that Red Lobster has on the shelf?
What could Jesse drive up the cost with? I bet
the most expensive drink on the Red Lobster menu is
fourteen ninety nine. That's my bet. Fourteen that's a hot
That's a lot to me to spend on a drink,
some sort of mixed drink. I bet there's a fifteen
(05:42):
dollars mixed drink. I think that's the highest he could go.
And the nicest tequila. I think there might be some
Hose Cuervo silver going on. I think that's about it. Yeah,
the let's see here we go JJ. We got a
lot of responses to my suggestion that you should never
sleep on the ground. There's always mot hells or places available.
We've we've ascended, We've ascended as a species from needing
(06:05):
to sleep on the ground. Well, this is a little
bit different, Central Florida. He's listening on w f LA,
or Orlando affiliate. This is kind of high end. I
think I think he's trying to brag as if he's
been roughing it.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
But listen I'm listening to your show camping on my
pontoon boat. I have a tent set up on the deck,
and I'm in a lake pretty much in the middle
of nowhere in central Florida.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Okay, we appreciate everybody who listens everywhere. That's not really
roughing it now. I was gonna say, when you're when
you're on the boat, because the boats got bathroom, hot
and cold, running water, refrigeration, and by the way, somebody
could get me out on the boat tent situation, as
long as we had a gator watch going on there,
because Orlando is Gatortown, my friend, there's a lot of
(06:53):
gators in that water. I also not a fan of
sleeping on boats, just gonna go out there like I
did the Disney Cruise. I don't like being anywhere I
can't leave, So I'm okay with boats if I can
see land where I'm like, hey, I could swim in,
or I don't want to go anywhere I can't leave,
So in the middle of the wilderness, if I can't leave,
(07:14):
I'm not in favor of it. We got on the
Disney cru some of my some of the worst experiences
of my life involved being on boats with seasickness. I
mean truly worst experiences of my life. And one that
always sticks out is in we did a a class
trip in the eighth grade. I remember this to uh
(07:37):
Mystic Seaport in Connecticut, right, I think that it sounds
like a super high end class trip. We went to
like Mammoth Cave. No, no, no, no, this was not
this was this is like going to the aquarium Clay.
This is not super okay, this is like pretty Because
I live in New York City, so Mystic is like
a you know, hour and a half drive or something.
It's not that far. But I just remember we did
whale watching. We did a whale maybe it was the
(08:00):
Cape codtrip. I can't remember, but we did a whale
watching trip at the school. And I remember being out
on this boat and it wasn't just us, there were
other people that paid a wheel watch and everybody on
this boat. Basically because it was cold, choppy, everybody started
to get seasick and it was like a six hour tour.
Forget a three hour tour like Gilligan. This was a
six hour tour and everybody was tossing cookies. It was nightmare, nightmare.
(08:24):
Fuel the world. I don't want I don't want to
ever be on a boat where I can't see land.
I'm okay if like I just I mean, look, we're
signing wimpier and wimpeer with the passing segment here. I
appreciate the fact that at some point in time my
ancestors got on a boat and they were on it
for months. They did enough boating without being able to
see the land. For me, for my entire life, I
(08:46):
did this cruise and Buck, I wish you could have
seen my face. We were supposed to it had we
had the Disney cruise. We had like a six year old,
a three year old, and basically like a baby, and
they may have been a little bit older, but they
were young, all five of us in the same tiny
little cabin, and we were supposed to stop in Jamaica.
The only reason to go on a cruise is so
(09:07):
you can get off the boat, all right. I'm not
one of those people who enjoys being on the boat. Okay.
So you go to the island, you dock, and you
get to leave the boat. And they came on and
they said, hey, tough news. It's too choppy, Caesar, too
choppy for us to port in Jamaica. We can't go
back to land for three days. I would have gotten
(09:28):
on a helicopter and gone to any land at that
point in time. I wish you could have seen my face.
I don't ever want to be stuck on a boat.
If I can see the land, then worst case scenario,
I can jump in. We all know I'm a great
swimmer and I'll be fine. I'll be able to get
to the land. But much like Alcatraz, I don't. And
I lived on an island. I lived in the Caribbean
for two years, so I have no problem being on
(09:50):
an island, even a small island like Gilligan's Island. It's
I just I like the earth. I like the soil
beneath my feet. We see this with me. This with
the same as Jeff from Texas, KK on the tukpack, Hey.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Clay and Buck, this is Jeff from Humble, Texas. I
spent ten years in the Army Infantry. Back in the
eighties and nineties, I camped everywhere. Now I consider camping
is when my hotel stops room service at eleven PM
instead of two AM. Love you guys, take.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Care man man, We love you too. Let me say
I co sign that. I'm like, if the room service
is not twenty four hours, what are we even doing here?
What kind of place is this? I kind of I
like room service. One of my big fears is choking
to death. I get nervous when I have food and
no one else is around. Am I the only person
who thinks this? Like if you're in the room, you
(10:43):
never thought, what if I choke to death? Like what if?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
No, I trust, I trust my h The worst way
to go, I think there are lots of that. Awful
ways to go would be you just go to Red
Lobster and you just take a bite of a delectable
shrimp and next day and you know, it's caught in
your throat and you die. Like people that happens like
one hundred times a year. People just choke to death.
(11:06):
Not all at Red Lobster. It could be Applebe's and
that's the end. And it just feels like that's the
worst way to go, imaginable because you're otherwise healthy, if
you had just simply not taken a bad bite. Choking
on it is not the worst. It's the worst way
to go. It is the worst way to get the
worst way. What is worse than choking food, Clay, There's
(11:28):
a million things that are worse than choking on food.
It is the worst way to go because otherwise, if
you had just bitten your food better, you would still
be alive. Instead, you choke to death on food. You
might be like twenty five years old, in the prime
of your life, and you're just dropping dead at Logan's
roadhouse because you couldn't swallow correctly. It is the worst
(11:50):
way to go. What else people get eaten by komodo
dragons claim? Yet there are worse ways to go. Kimodo dragon, though,
is violent and and you shouldn't have been in the price.
You shouldn't have been risking things near the Komodo dragon.
But the dragon kills you.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Buck.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Your own inability to swallow kills you when you die
on choking on your food. It's the worst way to go.
I I this is a crazy take from claud I'm
one hundred percent right, by the way. He got some
good emails. You can tell me if I'm wrong, but
you're all wrong if you disagree like buck is. This
is from tom My Dad. Greetings from Alice Beach, one
(12:28):
of the fabulous places in the country. My dad fought
in World War two European theater. When my two brothers
and sister would say, Dad, please please take us camping,
his reply, I slept on the ground in North Africa,
all throughout Italy and in de France and Germany, so
you would never have to. As a young history nut,
(12:50):
I had no comeback. That is your dad, I mean,
thank you for his service. That is a great freaking response, Susannah.
It is amazing to me that we spend our lives
working our ass off. Ope, I actually hit the wrong
button there. What happened there? It is we have working
our ass off to have a beautiful, comfortable home, but
then spend thousands of dollars on equipment to cook and
(13:13):
sleep outside as if we were pioneers or members of
the core of discovery. I'm one of those silly people.
I've come to terms with that cognitive dissonance and thoroughly
enjoy hiking and sleeping in the wilderness. I'm surprised that
we've had so few people come for actually come at
I you know what I love to do. I love
to find a place that's reasonably level ground and doesn't
(13:36):
have that many rocks that are going to stick into
my back over the course of the night. And then
I'm gonna put down one of those thin, those thin
mats that you blow into and no matter how hard
you're blowing into it, it feels like it takes forever for
this thing to fill up with air clay. And you
have this thin little thing, and you're gonna lie in
your sleeping bag on this thin little thing on the
(13:58):
ground and tell yourself that this has come. I will
be laughing at you off wrapped in my cozy earth
sheets and enjoy life. By the way, cozy earth sheets
are amazing. I and you should be on a bed,
not on the ground. They're saying now that thousands of
people choke to death every year. Thousands. Yes, of course
(14:19):
you think it's thousands. I said hundreds. It's very My
argument even better, this is the worst way to die,
choking to death when you're just eating a normal meal.
This is very common for Babiesitter is actually one of
the things that people will ask I've got through the
is well CEPR for kids. I'm not not CPR, I
meant Heimlich. Can you do a Heimlich maneuver for kids?
(14:42):
For choking? It's very common. So yeah, Clay, choking is
the other kids thing is even worse. This is I
think it's the worst way. I would rather be eaten
by a great white shark than choke to death at
red lobster. This is your worst take ever, and I
think I think everyone agrees with me. This might actually
your worth your worst tad No, because the shark I'm
(15:03):
not gonna win a fight with. When you lose a
fight with your fork, it's a It's the worst way
to go, Clay. You're essentially a giant sea monster biting
off your leg, bleeding to death over the course of
minutes while it circles you in the water. And you
know that is that is way worse than choking on
a chickender. The shark is designed to kill you. Your meal
(15:24):
is not designed to kill you. You've lost a battle
with something you didn't even know you were fighting against.
I don't I don't you know, I don't even know.
It's like losing a fight to a midget as opposed
to losing a fight to like a UFC fighter. I
would expect that the UFC fighter would choke me out.
If the midget choked me out and I died, then
I would be like, this is a big upset. I
shouldn't have gotten killed by a midget the little people
(15:48):
there we go, Yes, sir, thank you, that's the preferred nomenclature, sir,
the preferred We're gonna tank you more of your calls
and talkbacks to close this out. You can tell Clay
this is probably his worst taken. I think this is
nonumber one all time worst take that Clay has ever
had on the program. That choking is the worst. Choking
on food is the worst way to die. And a
normal meal you're just and then you're dead. You're like, hey,
(16:11):
what if it's not the last supper, it's different. I mean,
it's just like, hey, the choice you made was I'm
gonna have another onion ring and then you die. That
is the worst way to go. You could have just
not had the onion ring. A lot of people people,
you know, people like slipping, people fall off of roofs.
Be very careful everybody all the time because they think
(16:31):
they can do the roofing stuff. You understand the risk
that you have taken on the roof. When you're just
putting a fork into your mouth, you don't think this
is it. This is the last act of my life.
I'm right on this. I if you get a single
person who agrees with you on this, I will, I will.
I'll be shocked by the way Trump is waged in
on Alyssa Farrah and the Maga hat we might have
(16:53):
time for that week come back. He used to work.
He knows her. He knows her. She used to work
in the last communications. I used to see her whenever
I go to the White House, White House Communications director
for Trump Sundays with Clay and Buck. Scott's got a
good question KK on the talkback and we've got a
lot of phenomenal talkbacks that we were going to be
(17:14):
hitting during the course of the show. Uh, he is, uh,
he is out there and he's got a question. It's
a great one. Let's listen, Hey, Clay, what to Hitler,
Nancy Pelosi and Buck heaven Common?
Speaker 5 (17:25):
None of them can hit one hundred mile per hour?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Serve Buck, whoa buddy? I just I just want to
echo because I know the audio wasn't great. He asked,
what do Hitler, Nancy Pelosi, and Buck heaven Common? None
of them can hit one hundred miles per hour? Sorry,
all right, all right, all right, all right, this is enough,
is enough, just just to start the clock. Give me.
(17:47):
I gotta get out on the court. I'm actually going
shooting this weekend. I only have time for one thing
because I have a small child and my wife, you know,
can't carry the whole load. But I am going shooting
this weekend. Next weekend I'll be doing tennis. I will
bring out the actual working speed gun. And I don't
care if I have to show up here with my
arm in a sling to your radio the next day.
(18:07):
We're getting the triple digits, buddy, We're getting the triple digits, Scott.
I mean, that's a strong argument from Scott, and then
a lot of you. Producer Ali can step in you
and I can give opinions on the most controversial things
on the planet, and people are like, yeah, okay, yeah,
kind of abortion, trans war and peace. No problems, no problem,
(18:29):
no issues at all. My take on the Worst Way
to Die has provoked an unbelievable uproar, and some of
you have great taste and recognize that I am, in
fact correct. Danny in New York City w R Radio,
this is pretty funny. JJ. Thanks. I'm sitting here alone
in my car eating Chick fil A And now all
I can think about is I hope I don't die.
(18:52):
Said at least if it happened, it would be on
Chick fil A, like worth it. It's not like you're
eating you know, some like in a roadside half cooked
burger or something stuff Coast to Coast Becky and Phoenix
News Talk five point fifty k f YI. She also
understands great arguments when she hears them.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
This is Phoenix, I to play.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
This is hilarious. It is.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
It's one of my.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Biggest fears too.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
We're just not being able to breathe. There you go
see I'm not wrong about choking to death. And then hh,
Carol in Houston. For all these great people out there,
they understand Carol. Actually listen to what she's done because
she's so afraid she's gonna choke to death while eating
by herself.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Hey, Buck and Clay, this is Carol from Houston. I
have that fear too about choking. That's why I got
my kids in my car, in my house. I had
that life back. So if you do choke, even if
you're by yourself, you can actually use that on yourself.
So you might want to check into that they actually
might be one of your sponsors.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
We actually I have a life back at home, so
maybe they should be a sponsor. I have one here
in preparation for hopefully something we never have to use
it for. But yeah, I think Clay, what you meant, though,
is when I said worst way to die, most people
think of the most painful, awful way. You meant the
most undignified or like unnecessary. I think, which is a
(20:20):
little I'm gonna I'm gonna expand on my argument. I
should have talked more about assumption of risk. If you
swim with sharks and one each you you've assumed it.
When you go to red Lobster, you don't expect to die.
Josh in Springfield, Illinois, he wants to weigh in on choking. Okay, Josh,
what's up?
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Okay? I was wondering if Buck might agree with your
assertion about choking if it was Polish sausage related.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Look at him bringing it all together there. Okay, this
is this is impressive. Yeah, you know, I will tell
you some affinity for Polish sausages. You, of all people
have to be concerned about choking. Well, I was gonna
sausage is a choking risk. This is true. It's hot
dogs actually, cause look this up before you are snickering
out there. Hot dog and sausage in particular choking risk
(21:14):
because you can bite off a piece and it fits
into the windpipe in very snug fest. You gotta be
very careful, very you. You lock it up, Travis over there,
you lock it up, all right, buddy. This is a
public health announcement. We're doing a lot of women out
there gonna be saying this weekend. You have no idea
what danger I'm in. Pamela just said, I'm in an
(21:35):
I hoop in Pensacola having breakfast. Almost spit out my
coffee with your remark about the danger of women. Maybe,
in thank goodness, I was only drinking coffee, not eating
the sausage. You have only yourself to blame, Buckster, So
appreciate Pamela. I'm glad that she is still alive. And
there are there are a lot of reactions rolling in
(22:00):
and we are having a great deal of us trying
to tell everybody, take your time, chew your food. It's
very straightforward
