00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: It's going to be phenomenal. I've got a lot to

7
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: talk to you about here.

8
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: Clay and I are fired up some things in the

9
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: sports world, which I am. I will tell you my

10
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 2: wife is shocked because this week I'm actually a guy

11
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: who is sitting down on a couch and watching for

12
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: more than five minutes sports because I like the US Open.

13
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 3: So you know, I have my sports weekness. This is

14
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 3: going to blow your mind. Buck, I have not watched

15
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 3: one minute of the US Open. This might be the

16
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 3: first time that you have watched a sporting event that

17
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 3: I have not. I mean, I've seen the highlights, but

18
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 3: I haven't sat down and watched one moment of the

19
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 3: US Open.

20
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 2: I don't even know what to say about that, other

21
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: than you're missing out. It's been a great one this year.

22
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: I went. Last year, I took my mom at h

23
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: remember that, my mom. We had so much fun at

24
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: the Open. I think it was Serena Williams's last game

25
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: we saw her last professional match. So anyway, a lot

26
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: going on in the realm of sports, which we'll get into,

27
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 2: but I wanted to start.

28
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: With this one.

29
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: There was a moment you don't usually see this in sports,

30
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 2: and I was watching live at the time, and during

31
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: one of during one of the matches, I believe it

32
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 2: was Coco Golf's match, who's now in the final. She's

33
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: nineteen years old, She's an American black, just a superstar.

34
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 1: In the making. Here.

35
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: Who's you know, I think going to be You're gonna

36
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 2: see a lot more of her if you follow tennis,

37
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: and she's doing a phenomenal a phenomenal job. Anyway, she

38
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: had to walk off court for a second play, and

39
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: she addressed with her team that there was some kind

40
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: of negotiation going on with events security, because you had

41
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: a bunch of climate extinction in lunatics. A bunch of

42
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: climate extinction lunatics had super glued their feet to the

43
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: ground in the stands and started screaming stuff. I mean

44
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: what they scream, as you know, is irrelevant. But these

45
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: are the people who decide that they have made a

46
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: that their their course in life now has to be

47
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: to do the most annoying things possible to get attention

48
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 2: for themselves. They they've done this, they did this. I

49
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: think it was climate extinction lunatics who blocked the road

50
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: into burning Man, which was kind of funny because you

51
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 2: had a bunch of climate worshippers on the way to

52
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 2: a like pagan bacchanal, and then you had climate protesters

53
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 2: blocking their.

54
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: Way on the road.

55
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: But these are the most annoying people, I think, in

56
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: many ways on the planet, almost as annoying as people

57
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 2: that believe in masking. Still, and I think, Clay, it's

58
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: interesting to see that there's no mockery of them among Democrats.

59
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: They do know, they will not mock them.

60
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: They'll not make fun of this because as crazy as

61
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: the climate extinction people are, and remember they're saying, we're

62
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: all gonna die. That's why it's climate extinction. The whole

63
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: world is going to end and we're all gonna die.

64
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: Humanity will go extinct if we don't, you know, ride

65
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: bicycles to work every day. I mean, just whatever, tell

66
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: China to stop producing all the CO two it does,

67
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 2: which is never gonna happen, Clay, they're essentially the shock

68
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: troops of the climate movement the most annoying, stupid people

69
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: on the planet.

70
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was bad one on part of me.

71
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 3: At least, it's not priceless works of art that they're

72
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: gluing themselves to or throwing different objects onto and actually

73
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: trying to deface and destroy. So that's at least a positive.

74
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 3: But did you see that Coco to GoF the I

75
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: think I got her name right, and this is one

76
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 3: where you make a goth.

77
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go, all right.

78
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: So she said that she wasn't upset because she agreed

79
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: with their political protest.

80
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: Did you see Oh, oh yeah, I'm gonna make sure

81
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: I read the nice things I said about her tennis.

82
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

83
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: Yes, And I'm going to read you some of these quotes.

84
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 3: This is why I just find this.

85
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: This is why I don't want sports. Everybody's why I

86
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: don't do it.

87
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: You cannot trust any of these famous athletes on politics.

88
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: Well, a few of them you can, but very few,

89
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: she said.

90
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 3: And I quote and maybe we can find maybe we

91
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: can find this audio because I imagine it's out there.

92
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 3: This is a quote from her. And I'm reading from

93
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 3: OutKick because I read about this this morning. I didn't

94
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 3: see it happen, but I was like, oh, this is crazy.

95
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: Throughout history, moments like this are definitely defining moments. I

96
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 3: believe in climate change. I don't really know what they

97
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 3: were protesting. I know it was about the environment. I

98
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 3: one hundred percent believe in that. I think there are

99
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: things we can do better. I know the tournaments are

100
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 3: doing things to do better for the environment. Would I

101
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 3: prefer it not happening in my match one hundred percent.

102
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

103
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 3: I'm not going to sit here and lie. But it

104
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 3: is what it is. I wasn't pissed at the protesters.

105
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 3: I know the stadium WI because it just interrupted entertainment.

106
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 3: I always speak about preaching what you feel and what

107
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 3: you believe in. It was done in a peaceful way,

108
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 3: so I can't get too mad at it. I'm horrified.

109
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: I didn't know about any of this. I thought you

110
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 3: knew those quotes, like I.

111
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: Didn't know those quotes you. My mind is now. My

112
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 2: mind is blown, although not, I mean I'm not really

113
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: I guess that surprised. You know athletes Wang. First of all,

114
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: she's nineteen years old. She's very young, so her knowledge

115
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: of global climate change I wouldn't expect. But as we

116
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: recall Greta Thunberg was sixteen oh and traveling the world

117
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: and lecturing adults on you know, how dare you the

118
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: whole thing? It was absurd, right, Wow, that's really disappointing.

119
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 3: I don't say buck this is This is a good

120
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 3: point though, on the nineteen year olds. This is one

121
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 3: of those things that I think is an article of

122
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: faith with young people in America today. I see it

123
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 3: with my own boys and the kids that are around them.

124
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 3: The idea that you could question anything about climate change

125
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 3: to them is almost impossible for them to comprehend.

126
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: It is such an article of faith.

127
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,679
Speaker 3: In the way that they have been raised that climate

128
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 3: change is real and that it's going to be massively

129
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 3: destructive to their life. They've bought into the catastrophizing aspects

130
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 3: of this story. And so it doesn't honestly surprise me

131
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 3: that Coco Goff is how you pronounce her.

132
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

133
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 3: I really don't know much about her that she would

134
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 3: have that perspective, because I think it is overwhelmingly the

135
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 3: perspective that an average American nineteen year old kid and

136
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: I still call them kids even though they're technically adults,

137
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 3: and nineteen year Old's still kind of a kid to me.

138
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 3: That they would have that opinion is not at all surprising.

139
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 3: But when I saw those quotes, I was reading about

140
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 3: it this morning and I thought, man, I've never heard

141
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 3: of a protest shutting down a tennis match like this

142
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 3: and the athlete being like, yeah, basically, I agree with

143
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: the protesters.

144
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: It's funny. We didn't plan this out before. And I

145
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: was just going to talk about they buy it. Administration

146
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: now shutting down a whole a massive Let me see

147
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 2: the they have a mass part of Alaska, huge part

148
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 2: of of I guess it's anwar right where they're here,

149
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: we go Biden administration. Biden freezes the Interior Secretary Deb

150
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 2: Holland is freezing a huge part of anwar, limiting development

151
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: on thirteen million acres in the state's National Petroleum Reserve.

152
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: And what was interesting, and the Wall Street Journal was

153
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: teeing off on this, the Biden administration is saying that

154
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: the Interior Secretary Deb Holland has to rely on quote,

155
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: indigenous knowledge of the science to block this drilling, the

156
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: science of I didn't even know that that was based

157
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: on the best this here's the quote based on the

158
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: best available science and in recognition of indigenous knowledge.

159
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is indigenous knowledge? I mean, is it's science?

160
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: Is science?

161
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: Right, So if the indigenous knowledge includes something that is scientific,

162
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: that would just make it science. We don't have Japanese

163
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 2: science and American science. We don't have Russian science and

164
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: Brazilian science. There's just science. But in the case of this,

165
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: to to sort of create this diversity and inclusion umbrella

166
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 2: for blocking a huge amount thirteen million acres in the

167
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 2: Anwar area. I remember anword, clay. They've been trying to

168
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: do this. This was like an early episode of The

169
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: West Wing. You remember this, and in the West Wing,

170
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: the show that was just about how liberals always right

171
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 2: and care and care and are really educated, convative.

172
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: I'm just a live Bible.

173
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 3: When I was nineteen, just like Cocoa Goff, I was like,

174
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 3: oh the West I was a freshman at GW West Wing,

175
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 3: popular show. Everybody watched it.

176
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, Clays come so far. It makes me so happy.

177
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: So we look at the My point about this was

178
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: and I'm still like I can't believe, like, just play.

179
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: Just play tennis.

180
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I you know, I know we're not

181
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: allowed to say this to athletes, like, can you just

182
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: do the athlete? Because now if you step into the

183
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: realm of politics, now now you're in our world.

184
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: Right, I don't sit there now. I mean everyone can

185
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: have opinions on.

186
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 2: Everything, fine, but now we have to say no, that's

187
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: a really stupid thing to say.

188
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: And why are people because people will.

189
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: Listen, They're gonna listen to all climate change is real

190
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 2: and all this stuff. My point though about the uh,

191
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: about the and it's she actually has made the point

192
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: better than anybody really could have in a sense. Here

193
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: people have paid and I was just there last year myself.

194
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 2: People have paid a lot of money to be there

195
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: and be at an event. Think of how selfish you

196
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 2: have to be because it was like a ten or

197
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: fifteen minute you know, shut down in the match, stopped

198
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: it every and had to go, oh, the police had

199
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 2: a common remove. Think of what a selfish jerk you

200
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: have to be to think that because you are in

201
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 2: emotion only unstable Biden voter, you need to glue your

202
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 2: feet to the ground to make a point about what exactly.

203
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: It's not even like they're saying free are you.

204
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 2: Know our buddy who's like a political prisoner somewhere like

205
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 2: maybe it's gonna happen, maybe it's not there.

206
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: They just want attention.

207
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 2: This is this is a malignant narcissism masquerading as a

208
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 2: political movement.

209
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: I think that's well said.

210
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 3: Also, I think it's super counterproductive because most people just

211
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 3: come for the entertainment. Whether you know, the same thing

212
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 3: happened at the at the NBA. Guys started gluing themselves

213
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 3: to the basketball court, and that was funny because everybody

214
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 3: in the NBA wants to be super woke and you know,

215
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 3: politically active. And then everybody's like, can we just play basketball?

216
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 3: You know, you sound like me, because that's the argument

217
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 3: I've been making for years. The other thing about this is,

218
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 3: and I guarantee you this will happen, buck, I go

219
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 3: ahead and write this in Stone. Somebody in sports media,

220
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 3: maybe multiple people, will write a column where they say,

221
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 3: the proudest moment of Coco Goff's career wasn't advancing to

222
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 3: the US Open and if she wins the final, say

223
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 3: it wasn't It wasn't winning the US Open. It was

224
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 3: speaking out about the ravages of climate change. Okay, some

225
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 3: sportswriter will write that column.

226
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: I get I just want to say I was watching this,

227
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 2: I was kind of like on and off watching, and

228
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 2: I ended up tuning in much more for the later set.

229
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 2: I thought it was like fifteen minutes because I often

230
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 2: watch things on delay because I'm a digital watcher, and

231
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 2: I'll fast forward. It was a forty nine minute stop

232
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 2: and play, so that actually changes the trajectory of the match.

233
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 2: That's unfair to the players. I mean, even five minutes

234
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 2: is unfair to the players, deeply unfair to the players.

235
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: If I were the girl who lost, I forget. I

236
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 2: think it was a Mutcheva, who's a Russian I think

237
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 2: or is from. I forget where she's from. But Mucheva,

238
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 2: I think was the player. If I were the player

239
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: who lost, I'd be really upset. I think it's unfair

240
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: that you have your play halted like that. But for

241
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 2: the other people, I mean, this is like, this is

242
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 2: like when someone gets too drunk freaks out on a

243
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 2: plane and all of a sudden, instead of everybody going

244
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 2: to Barbados, that.

245
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: Are heading back to Newark.

246
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.

247
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 2: It's so selfish and stupid and wrong. And you know,

248
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 2: this player who's now in the US Open final is

249
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 2: supportive of it to your point, brand enhancing for her

250
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 2: overall corporations, people who write big checks, they're gonna say, oh,

251
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 2: bigger sponsorship dollars. I will now root against her. I

252
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 2: don't even know if she's playing in the final. Actually no,

253
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 2: I do know she's playing.

254
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: He's playing a Russian. I think, yeah, another Russian, another Russian.

255
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 2: Okay, I have to root for the Americans still, But

256
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: I'm annoyed that she said these annoying things about climate change?

257
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: Am I crazy to ask?

258
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 3: How do you get the stuff that you can glue

259
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 3: yourself to the court with into the event? Like don't

260
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,599
Speaker 3: you have to go through metal detectors and stuff like?

261
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 3: Wouldn't like Cuba's a tube of crazy glue. I don't

262
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: think that's that?

263
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: Is that all they're using.

264
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know, I've I've never pulled

265
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: this routine myself.

266
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you pretty crazy though.

267
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: But can I just point out, though, Clay, that while

268
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: we're at a point that gas prices are still pretty

269
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 2: high and everything else, do you have these climate lunatic

270
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: protesters running around? You have Biden's Interior Secretary deb Holland

271
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: making moves to make it harder to drill and to

272
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 2: get energy. This is one of the This is one

273
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 2: of like the central brain rots of the modern Democrat party.

274
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: And you'll notice it because no one, you know, comedians

275
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: or whatever, they won't make fun of the dumbest, most

276
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 2: annoying people in political life in the planet. I think

277
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: right now are climate protesters the most worthless, the most selfish.

278
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: It's terrible.

279
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 3: Let me also point this out, and I think we've

280
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: talked about it a little bit. Gas prices are going

281
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 3: back up as all of this is happening. Yesterday I

282
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 3: filled up, took me over one hundred dollars again to

283
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 3: fill up my car. And I know a lot of

284
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 3: you out there are nodding along too, because the prices

285
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 3: are going up in a substantial way all over the country.

286
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 3: And suddenly those massive gas bills are back like they

287
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 3: were last summer. As we roll into the fall. Here

288
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 3: one of the best things about stepping out of the

289
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 3: shower wrapping yourself in a cozy, absorbent towel. You don't

290
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,040

00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 3: do so, as many of you are going to be

315
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: on the road.

316
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: Be safe, bucky you.

317
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 3: Since we're on the commentary there of the people gluing

318
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 3: themselves to the court, I can't believe this happened. The

319
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 3: one thing you used to be able to rely on

320
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 3: in sports was, hey, at least the US is best,

321
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 3: better than anyone else in the world. At basketball. We

322
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 3: actually lost to Germany, not in soccer. We lost to

323
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 3: Germany in basketball in this FOEBA championship game. So we

324
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 3: got protesters gluing themselves to the court. And then our

325
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 3: US men's basketball team as they get ready for the

326
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 3: Olympics next year, I think just got whipped by Germany.

327
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 2: Isn't was it that the Serbs are the best team

328
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: right now? Basically in international competition?

329
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: Is the Serbs are the crow?

330
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 3: Atsu that A I think the Croatians because Luca is

331
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 3: one of the best players out there, and I think

332
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 3: I think the Croatians are the bell.

333
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: You could be right.

334
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 3: I'm not an expert in on Slavic basketball, but I

335
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 3: know that you don't want to confuse serbs with crowats,

336
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 3: though they do. I think I think the crow ats

337
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 3: are the better, the better basketball, I think, but I

338
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 3: could be wrong.

339
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: Well, this is so.

340
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 2: I mean, basketball has changed so much since I used

341
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: to watch it in the nineties, when it was such

342
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 2: a dominant viewer, you know, dominant sport in terms of viewership. Uh,

343
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 2: it's it's a lot of repoint shooting now.

344
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, which in theory would help the less

345
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 3: athletic among us, which which maybe that is what Germany did.

346
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: I don't know.

347
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 3: I just saw the headlines of people rending their garments.

348
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 3: We're not even the best in the world at basketball anymore.

349
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 3: It's one thing to get whipped in soccer, like the

350
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 3: US men regularly do, but now we're getting run by

351
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 3: the Germans and basketball.

352
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: This is not good.

353
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 2: I hear we're kind of on the small side too

354
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 2: as a team. But I look at you.

355
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 3: With all the like you are the one talking to

356

357
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 3: the big sports news coming out?

358
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know what's going on. I

359
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: learned some things. I guess what. You know?

Speaker 2: When I stop just reading history books and preparing for

386
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 2: radio shows and trying to like go for walks or

387
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 2: get to the gym or something, I spend some time

388
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 2: watching the sports on the television, and it all of

389
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 2: a sudden crosses over in the world of politics right away,

390
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 2: right in front of me. I didn't even know it,

391
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: or I found out later on. So the American Coco Golf,

392
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: who is in the US Open finals, which is being

393
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 2: played tomorrow, I believe in New York City for tennis,

394
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 2: there was a forty nine minute delay because of climate

395
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 2: lunatic protesters gluing themselves and they were shouting and screaming

396
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 2: and cursing and doing all the usual stuff. Does anyone

397
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 2: who's willing to do this kind of stuff. There's a

398
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 2: zero percent chance that this is someone you would want

399
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: to be around and deal with. It's just their annoying.

400
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 2: This level must be beyond comprehension for normal people. But

401
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 2: Coco Golf is in support of you know, and I

402
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 2: think I got a lot of them is Clay.

403
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: See here, I am.

404
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 2: I thought I could just watch some sports, and now

405
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 2: I'm on the political show talk in the sports here.

406
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: It's like world's colliding. Here is Coco Goff talking about

407
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 2: the climate extinction protest during the US Open Women's semi final.

408
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: It is what it is.

409
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 4: I think that the moments like this, yeah, are the

410
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 4: history defining moments. And like I said, I prefer it

411
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 4: not to happen into my match, but I wasn't pissed that,

412
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 4: you know, the protesters. I mean, I know the stadium

413
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 4: was because it just interrupted entertainment, but you know, I

414
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 4: always speak about preaching about what you feel and what

415
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 4: you believe in, and it was done in a peaceful way,

416
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 4: so I can't get too mad of it. Obviously, I

417
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 4: don't want it to happen when I'm winning up six

418
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 4: four to one zero. I wanted the momentum to keep going,

419
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 4: but hey, if that's what they felt that they needed

420
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 4: to do, they get their voices heard. I can't really

421
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 4: get upset at it.

422
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,959
Speaker 2: I just wonder, Clay, you know, if the Chicago Bulls

423
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: were playing a basketball game at home and I, like,

424
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: you know, ran out in the middle of the court

425
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 2: and like super glued my chest to the center court

426
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 2: because I want to bring attention to the horrific continuous

427
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 2: gun violence in Chicago and people shooting each other in

428
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 2: unimaginable numbers weekend after weekend. Would people like Cocoa golf

429
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 2: or other athletes anywhere across the political the athletic spectrum,

430
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 2: any any NBA players, would they say, yeah.

431
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: What he did.

432
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 2: I know it's annoying for the people in the stands,

433
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 2: but what he did is really meant to save lives

434
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 2: and bring attention to an important topic.

435
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: I'm just putting that out there.

436
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 3: No, I mean, and this is when I would blow

437
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 3: people's mind back during the Colin Kaepernick protest, which thankfully

438
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 3: have essentially ended. But I would always say, look, I

439
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 3: think it's a bad idea to protest anything in uniform

440
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 3: at work. I just think unless you're in the political sphere,

441
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 3: you should try to do your best entertaining. I said,

442
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 3: and if you disagree with me, imagine what the reaction

443
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 3: in San Francisco would have been.

444
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: And this was before Roe v. Wade was overturned.

445
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 3: But I would say, what if Colin Kaepernick took a

446
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 3: knee and said he refused to stand for the national

447
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 3: anthem because he didn't think abortion should be the law

448
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 3: of the land. Or what if he refuse to stand

449
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 3: for the national anthem because he didn't think that gay

450
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 3: marriage should be legal. All of those people in San

451
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 3: Francisco who want to make Colin Kaepernick the patron saint

452
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 3: of their political beliefs would have immediately demanded that Colin

453
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 3: Kaepernick be fired, and it would blow people's mind because

454
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 3: most people like free speech when the speech reinforces what

455
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 3: they already believe. But as soon as a free speech

456
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 3: says something they don't like, well, then it's a threat.

457
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 3: It shouldn't be allowed. And this is why you have

458
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 3: to stand on principle over politics. And my principle was, yeah,

459
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 3: I just I don't care about anybody's politics when I

460
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 3: want to watch a sporting event I love. I didn't

461
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 3: even know this was going on till this morning. I

462
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 3: got up, I woke up buck, and I read about it,

463
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 3: and I saw it and I was like, oh, this

464
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 3: sounds like it was kind of crazy. I went to

465
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 3: a seventh graders football game last night, and then we

466
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 3: went to dinner right afterwards, and then I watched the

467
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 3: NFL game between the Lions and the Chiefs, which I

468
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 3: imagine a lot of our listeners did, who are NFL

469
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 3: fans and are sports fans, But I bet there was

470
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 3: a lot of people watching that tennis match too. And

471
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 3: this is what I've always said, Like, you don't if

472
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 3: I come to watch Spider Man, I don't watch Spider

473
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 3: Man to come out before the movie and say, hey, guys,

474
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 3: I just want to tell you about what I think

475
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 3: about the Ukraine War, like I appreciated Spider Man, like

476
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 3: you're entitled to your opinion. I came to watch you

477
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 3: like throw webs and catch bad guys. And I feel

478
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 3: the same way about entertainment in general, and anything that

479
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 3: takes me out of enjoying the match. Forty nine minutes

480
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 3: a long time that it took to get these idiots

481
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 3: like cleaned off the court. That's bonkers. I would be

482
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 3: furious if that happened and I was there.

483
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 2: I remember there was an incident in DC in the

484
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 2: Trump administration, and this happened a number of times, but

485
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 2: this one particularly stuck out of my mind, where a

486
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 2: bunch of antifstyle maniacs, Antif style maniacs are going after

487
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 2: Ted Cruz and they're going after Ted Cruz, and the

488
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 2: restaurant felt so badly because Ted Creus Senator Cruz left.

489
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 2: The restaurant felt so badly that they decided to bring

490
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,959
Speaker 2: Senator Ted Cruz back and like, you know, make make

491
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 2: it all better, because they felt like they had an

492
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 2: obligation to him as a customer in that situation. I

493
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 2: think it was Fiola in DC that did this. I

494
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 2: might have the fee La Mare. I could be wrong.

495
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 2: I think that was the restaurant DC, So pardon me

496
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: if I got that wrong. But I remember and thinking, yeah,

497
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: that's your that's kind of your obligation to the customer. Okay,

498
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 2: if you're at the US Open, some people have paid

499
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 2: everyone for this kind of a match. You're paying hundreds

500
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 2: of dollars per seed, and some people are paying thousands

501
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 2: of dollars per seed, and for your enjoyment and your

502
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 2: situation to be interrupted by you know, forty nine minutes.

503
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: The stadium seems to know that that's they have an

504
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 2: obligation to try to have a good event and a

505
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 2: good time for all who were all.

506
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: Who are there.

507
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 2: I think the athletes should feel that way too. I

508
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 2: think the athletes should be like, guys, people came out

509
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 2: to pay money to see us play great tennis. They

510
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 2: didn't come out to see your stupid politics. Do that

511
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 2: crap somewhere else. So I totally disagree.

512
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the fact that she came out and endorsed it,

513
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 3: unfortunately on some level, probably emboldens these guys to take

514
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 3: action like this going forward. And by the way, I

515
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: don't think it's just athletics. The other analogy I used

516
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 3: to love is, Hey, if you're going out to McDonald's.

517
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 3: Imagine if you walk up to the front desk at

518
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 3: McDonald's and you say, hey, i'd like to order a

519
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 3: big Mac. A lot of you probably are overbring big

520
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 3: macs across the country right now during your lunch break,

521
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 3: right go through the drive through whatever it is, And

522
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 3: when you get up there to get your big Mac,

523
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 3: if the person working there said, hey, here's your hamburger,

524
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 3: but just so you know, meat is murder, I'll.

525
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: Be like, yeah, you know what, I kind of just

526
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: wanted a hamburger.

527
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 3: I didn't want to know your personal opinion on whether

528
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 3: or not it's okay to kill.

529
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: Animals right to eat them.

530
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 3: And if that happened, I think McDonald's would fire the

531
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 3: worker and it would be justified, and every one of

532
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 3: you out there would nod along and say, yeah, you know,

533
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 3: if you're an anti meat person, McDonald's probably not the

534
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 3: best place for you to work. Part of the job

535
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 3: is you're gonna have to pass hamburgers to customers, and

536
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 3: they don't want to hear meets murder, and I just

537
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 3: I think we've lost our way in the way that

538
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 3: that is discussed, and I think social media buck has

539
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 3: made it so that it's you feel like you have

540
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 3: to weigh in on every topic. A lot of these

541
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 3: athletes do, and I think in the process what they're

542
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 3: slowly learning is they're alienating substantial segments of people that

543
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 3: would otherwise love them. I still think the smartest quote

544
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 3: of the modern sports era, and I wrote my last

545
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 3: book using this quote. Michael Jordan, when asked why he

546
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 3: didn't get political, said Republicans by sneakers too. And as

547
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 3: a result, Michael Jordan is, as I speak to you today,

548
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 3: the most popular American athlete in the entire country still

549
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 3: and he's been retired for twenty years. Because everybody could

550
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 3: see some version of themselves in him. What he sold

551
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 3: was his excellence on the basketball court, not his opinions

552
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,719
Speaker 3: off of it, and most people want to buy in

553
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 3: to excellence on the court. Now sometimes, like look, it

554
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 3: becomes so intertwined. I give credit Novak Djokovic is still

555
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 3: alive in the US Open, right buck He spoke out

556
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 3: on the COVID shot, But they made him have to

557
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 3: do that because he otherwise wasn't going to be eligible

558
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 3: to play.

559
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: Last year, he couldn't come to the US Open.

560
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 3: He took a stand, but that directly related to his

561
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,479
Speaker 3: ability to go on to the court. Sometimes it is

562
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 3: impossible to avoid, but that is rare. And again I

563
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 3: give credit to Novak for actually being willing to lose

564
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 3: out on the opportunity to win a Grand Slam tournament

565
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 3: because he rightly pointed out that the COVID shot for

566
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 3: a young, healthy guy who'd already had it made zero sense.

567
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 2: So once again, you think you can enjoy a sporting event,

568
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 2: You think you can watch these things, and I'm sure

569
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 2: enough so many of the individuals involved that seems would

570
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 2: rather take it as an opportunity to lecture the people

571
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 2: that look, I do not watch the NBA anymore because

572
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 2: of the politics that the NBA took in recent years

573
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 2: full stop, don't watch, no interest, don't care NFL. I mean,

574
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 2: I tuned it out for a while. I'm now willing

575
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 2: to watch it on occasion. But I can certainly understand

576
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 2: the appeal, for example, for a lot of people of

577
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: really focusing and more on college football, which is something

578
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 2: that I know you like a whole heck of a lot.

579
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 2: So college football seems to have less of these toxic politics.

580
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: So I think it's important, folks. I don't know.

581
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sitting it's so funny. I was like,

582
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 2: I just wanted to make fun of the climate protesters.

583
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, on the athlete who won. She did

584
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: an amazing job. She's such a superstar in the making.

585
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 2: And it's like, yeah, she thinks they were cool. She

586
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 2: likes the protesters. Really, folks, Just when you think if

Speaker 1: I appreciate all of you who have hung out with us. Buck.

613
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 3: We talked about this a little bit earlier in the show,

614
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 3: but I'm a bit in morning.

615
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: I'm a bit of a sad guy. As we roll

616
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: into the weekend.

617
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 3: I really thought that Gavin Newso, my buddy, was going

618
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 3: to potentially step into the fray in twenty twenty four

619
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 3: and that maybe we'd be able to have a nice

620
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 3: rose Son went down over Napa Valley discuss California in

621
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 3: the Future of the country. Me maybe, Sean Hannity, maybe

622
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 3: we'd invite you Buck, just a bunch of bros browing

623
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 3: out in the vineyards.

624
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: Do you buy in?

625
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,479
Speaker 3: We talked about this a little bit earlier, but I

626
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 3: just I circle back around. Do you really believe that

627
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsome when he says Kamala Harris has gotten next,

628
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 3: I'm not interested in twenty four? Isn't that what you

629
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 3: say when you're actually super interested.

630
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 2: He's clearly interested. Was thinking about it. Here's what I

631
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 2: think is going on. I look, you all know what

632
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 2: my analysis is, which is that it will be Biden,

633
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 2: and if it's not Biden, it will basically be Kamala

634
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 2: and Kamala will be running as the as you know.

635
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 2: If Biden is the third term of obama Ism. Kamala

636
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 2: would be running as the fourth term of obama Ism,

637
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 2: as in, the person who's actually the president doesn't matter

638
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 2: all that much. It's the machinery and the advisors, and

639
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 2: that all stretches back to the eight years of Obama.

640
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: We talked about that before.

641
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 2: I think for Gavin Newsom, he realizes he has to

642
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 2: take this position. He has to take this position because

643
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 2: otherwise it looks like he is interested in pushing aside

644
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 2: the first black and also the first Indian. You know,

645
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 2: it's interesting, she's the first India and the first black

646
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 2: vice president. That's not a good look for him.

647
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: Now.

648
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 2: What I think you're probably getting out a little bit

649
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 2: here is in his mind, if he's going to create, say,

650
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: an opening for himself down the line, he has to

651
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 2: seem like he doesn't want to push Kamala side now.

652
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 2: But if the party happened to come to him in

653
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 2: a couple of months and was like, look, it's really

654
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 2: not your fault, we really need you to be the guy.

655
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 2: We know all the numbers show Kamala will lose, then

656
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 2: he could be like, you know, I was just being

657
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 2: all handsome in California at my vineyard. I had, you know,

658
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 2: I was just gonna look at my Pino Noir and

659
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 2: just knowing, Oh, all of a sudden, I have to run.

660
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's out of my hands. You know.

661
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 2: That's that's the only move that I can see for

662
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 2: Newsom here. He's gonna have to save the republic. That's

663
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 2: a great place to be in.

664
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 3: Anytime you can say you don't want a job that

665
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 3: you actually do and somehow you think it's gonna work

666
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 3: back in your favor, That to me feels like what

667
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 3: Newsom's doing. Also, I think maybe they're getting wrapped a

668
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 3: little bit here by the larger Democrat establishment because it

669
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 3: is almost impossible to explain why he's challenging Ron DeSantis.

670
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: To a debate, right, I mean, this has never happened before.

671
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 3: You're not running for president and you're challenging a Republican

672
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,720
Speaker 3: presidential contender to a debate.

673
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: It definitely doesn't add up.

674
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 3: But I also don't think there's any way that Gavin

675
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 3: Newsom would get out of the way for Kamala Harris

676
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 3: if push truly came to shove and Biden decided to

677
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 3: step down. So we'll see, But this to me is

678
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 3: maybe a little bit of a sign that they're trying

679
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 3: to circle the wagons around Biden after I think it's

680
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 3: fair to say, Buck this has been a pretty disastrous

681
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 3: week for him when you look at the Wall Street

682
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 3: Journal poll that came out, when you look at the

683
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,919
Speaker 3: cee An End poll, seventy six percent of Americans saying

684
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 3: he doesn't have the mental or physical capability to be

685
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 3: president is not what you want to see one year

686
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 3: before you hope to get four more years in the

687
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 3: president cinential office. And so I wonder how much that

688
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 3: drum beat is going to continue. Now we just talked

689
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 3: about Coco. Is this changing your weekend plans? Like were

690
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 3: you all in on the US Open and now the

691
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 3: climate change protesters, the fact that she's endorsed him, Are

692
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 3: you going to do something else?

693
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: Not gonna watch the women's match? I don't think.

694
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 2: But I will watch the men's match, which as we

695
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 2: speak now has not been decided, but I think it

696
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 2: is very likely to be Carlos al Karaz and Novak Djokovic.

697
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 2: And I will say my wife loves Djokovic because of

698
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 2: his really principal the vaccine stance. I get it, and

699
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 2: I think a lot of respect Novak They really made

700
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 2: his life very frustrating for a while. He missed majors

701
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 2: and I mean he's now by the Majors win column

702
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 2: the greatest tennis player of all time. He would have

703
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 2: even had one or two more.

704
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 3: Yes, he was willing to risk. And this is what

705
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 3: you really, I think, have to recognize. He was willing

706
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 3: to stand on principle that they forced him to stand on.

707
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 3: This is not him just deciding to get super political.

708
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 3: They said you cannot play unless you do this, and

709
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 3: he said, no, I'm not going to put that shot

710
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 3: in my body. Both he Aaron Rodgers, Kyrie Irving, even

711
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 3: though he's got some kooki political opinions, relatively few people

712
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 3: who were forced to get this shot and publicly said no,

713
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 3: I'm not going to. I give them a great deal

714
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 3: of credit and also Buck, I find it hard not

715
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 3: to root for them going forward. So I am hoping

716
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 3: that Djokovic will get the win. I'll also root for

717
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 3: Coco because she's an American.

718
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: But I for her do what. I'm not sure I'm

719
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 1: going to watch the whole match. Yeah, I get it,

720
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,959
Speaker 1: I totally get it. All right, Well, we'll be back,

721
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: same bad time, same bad channel. Monday. Appreciate all of

Speaker 3: second anniversary when we return. Will certainly be talking about

00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 3: that a lot on Monday, and our friends at Tunnel

726
