00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in everybody, third hour Clay and

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: Buck going right now. I know we all miss Clay.

4
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: He's in Australia having a great time. I wonder what

5
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 1: Australia Christmas is like, Probably like ours, but you know,

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,159
Speaker 1: maybe a little a little warmer. It's their summer. I

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: think it's a good time to go there. But those

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: who were asking, he's having a great time down there

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: with the family, really enjoying his vacation. And in the meantime,

10
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: listen to talk to you guys a little bit about well,

11
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: you know, I have a birthday coming up and I'll

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: be forty three years old. For those who are wondering,

13
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: someone told me recently that I didn't look a day

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: over thirty, which I'm hoping I keep that going for

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: a while. But I'm going to be forty three years old,

16
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: and I was reflecting a little bit, you know, I

17
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: was reflecting on how, first of all, blessed I feel,

18
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: and I do think that Christmas time is a particularly

19
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: important moment. Those you know, those are the Christians or

20
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: believers obviously celebrating the birth of Jesus and those who

21
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: are Jewish are celebrating Hanukkah, and some other folks are

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: just celebrating whatever a holiday that we're all going to

23
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: be hopefully getting some time off from work. Man, I

24
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: am so blessed. I am so blessed as a result

25
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: of many things. I've got a fantastic family. I've got

26
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: a wonderful wife, I've got a great team I work

27
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: with on this show, and a phenomenal co host and

28
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: partner in Clay. And I really enjoy and feel purpose

29
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: in my day to day life, and so much of

30
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: that is because I get to speak to all of you.

31
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 2: I get to sit here.

32
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: And I hope you all know I never lose sight

33
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: of the fact that this is the house that Rush built.

34
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: And after being many many years as a faithful Rush

35
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: listener myself and looking to him, listening to him for

36
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: guidance and insight, I view this mission that we're on here,

37
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: and Clay, I know, feels the same way as serving

38
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: Rush's audience. You know, there's nothing, nothing that could be

39
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: I think a higher professional aspiration than to do the

40
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: best work possible every day for all of you across

41
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: the country, bringing you the best insights that we can entertainment.

42
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: And I always felt this way as a conservative, even

43
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: before I was in media. When you have like minded

44
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: people who know whether describing as a conservative or a

45
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: Republican or right wing or whatever, there's a comfort, especially

46
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: for those of us who live in overwhelmingly Democrat precincts,

47
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: overwhelming the Democrat areas of the country. There's a comfort

48
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: in hearing voice that you can trust, that you can

49
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: count on on these issues. And I certainly aspire to

50
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: be that every day here, and I know Clay does

51
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: as well. And also because I have my birthday coming up,

52
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: I like this. I like to tell this little story.

53
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: Usually I would tell it on my birthday. Though some

54
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: of you know this because you used to listen to

55
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: me from six to nine pm, or you listen to

56
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: the podcast, or maybe even listen to me back in

57
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 1: the days when I was a radio host on The Blaze,

58
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: and by radio I mean streaming and podcast before I

59
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: was syndicated by Premiere Networks from six to nine pm,

60
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: which happened in twenty sixteen. I spent a few years

61
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: doing a radio show, but it was really at the

62
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: Blaze dot Com. It was a stream It was a podcast,

63
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: and it was very early on the earlier side of

64
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: the world of podcasting, and to build a streaming audience

65
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: at that point was certainly very challenging. But because of podcasting,

66
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: I would have people who would listen to the show.

67
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: They would listen to this show.

68
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: On Saturday, and I did a three hour show every Saturday.

69
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: And I think this started in twenty thirteen and went

70
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: all the way to twenty sixteen. If memory service might

71
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: have been twenty twelve, how I can't even remember. I

72
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: spent years doing that, and I'm always grateful to Glenn

73
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: Beck for offering me the opportunity to work in media.

74
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: I wasn't even looking for a job in media. Think

75
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: about that for a second. I was a CIA officer

76
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: who had a year kind of was arranged by government

77
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: entities a year at the NYPD Intelligence Division. And then

78
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: I was thinking, you know, I might go to business

79
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: school because I just wanted to work in the private sector.

80
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: I felt like I had done enough public sector time

81
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 2: for me at that point, had been in for five

82
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: going on six years, and figured I'll go to business school.

83
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 2: And I get this email and it says, you know,

84
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: my boss. I told my boss about you.

85
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: I heard about you at a at a women in

86
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: technology conference, and it was from the assistant of someone

87
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: named Betsy Morgan, who was the president of the Blaze

88
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: dot com at the time, Glenn's company, and she said,

89
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: I'd like to talk to you. So I said, all right, sure.

90
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: I had already gotten into business school. I already gotten

91
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: into the NYU's Stern School of Business and Columbia Business

92
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: School in New York.

93
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: At the time.

94
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: Noticing a pattern, I wanted to be in New York,

95
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: and I was thinking that I'm going. I mean, I

96
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: think that I was thinking at that time, I was

97
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: trying to figure out if I could get any financial

98
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: aid or I had no money.

99
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: I mean I had I spent all of my money.

100
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: Actually sold or I should say, well sold off, I

101
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: you know, evaporated my four oh one K.

102
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 2: Don't do that.

103
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: Now that I actually see compound interest, that I have

104
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: a better understanding of finance, don't do that. But I

105
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: sold my four oh one k, which it wasn't a

106
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: lot of money, but at the time to me, it

107
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: was so that I could get the books and fill

108
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: out the applications and apply and take the you know,

109
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: the practice testing and everything and apply to business school

110
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: and then basically one fell swoop. I decided, well, I

111
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: sat down with Glenn Beck, who is a phenomenal talent

112
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: and done a lot for conservative media, a lot of

113
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: people in conservative media like me. I sat down and

114
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: Glenn just kind of did his Glenn thing where those

115
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: of you who know him from TV know he sort

116
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: of just looked in the eyes waved his hand as

117
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: like you are going to like you aren't joining the circus.

118
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, I'm not going to go to

119
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: business school and just try to make money and live

120
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: a quietly.

121
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to the circus. And that's what happened. People

122
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: ask me how I got into it.

123
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: It was an email. I actually at first thought it

124
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: was a spam email. It wasn't an email from an

125
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: assistant to a person who worked for Glenn. That turned

126
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: into a coffee that turned into a career change, that

127
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: turned into here I am sitting and you know, one

128
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: of two chairs that are trying to keep the legacy

129
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: of Rush going and fight for this country as best

130
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: we can every day on five hundred stations. And you

131
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: know that it's it's pretty remarkable journey.

132
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: And uh, you know, I don't talk about that stuff

133
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: very often. I try.

134
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: I always want to have a balance, you know, and

135
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm hoping a lot of you are right now driving

136
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: to get your last you know, grocery store run in

137
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: before I know what Christmas is?

138
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: Monday, right am? I read on that it's Monday, so.

139
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: You got a few days getting your last present, shopping

140
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: in whatever it is. I try to talk about myself

141
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: excessively on the radio.

142
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: I don't talk about because.

143
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: I think there's so much stuff to get into and

144
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: so much knowledge that we all can share and insight

145
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: and you know, problems to tackle, but hope to maintain

146
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So I don't talk about myself very

147
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: often on the show. And this is why I usually

148
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: do a Christmas show where i'd tell you some some

149
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: personal things and a little bit of a reflection or

150
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: all that. Obviously, this past year I got married, which

151
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: is quite a blessing. And I know many of you

152
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: over the years who are listening to me. Back when

153
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: I was doing that Saturday show for three hours, why

154
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: isn't he married? And you know, I'd been trying to

155
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: find the right person for many years, and my my

156
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: sense of it was I wanted to try to get

157
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: it right the first time. So I was very careful

158
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: the first time, or rather very deliberative about it. And

159
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: I'm very blessed and lucky to have a fantastic wife.

160
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: And yes, you know, we are certainly hoping to be

161
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: blessed with children in the near future. So that's been

162
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: an amazing year for me. So I've had twenty twenty

163
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: three has been great in so many ways. But also

164
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: when I reflect back, I think about how I would

165
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: and I'm jumping around a lot, I know, but you know,

166
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: last hour of my last hour of radio for me

167
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty three. So I'm sorry if I'm getting

168
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: a little sappy. I'm sorry if I'm feeling a little

169
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,719
Speaker 1: nostalgic about everything. But you got to remember this is

170
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: a remarkable thing. I mean, I believed through my twenties

171
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 1: that I was going to be a CIA officer, and

172
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: I had thought about transferring over to the Directorate of Operations.

173
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: I'd even had long conversations with people who could have

174
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: helped me make that kind of a switch, and you know,

175
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: looked at other things abroad, and you know, it was

176
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: I thought I was going to be career CIA and

177
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: then I end up in New York and I kind

178
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: of want to stay at New York and want to

179
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: get an advanced degree. And next thing I know, I

180
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: have a media career and I absolutely love it. And

181
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: I didn't really think about it this way, But all

182
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: those years of listening to Rush and yes, watching fact

183
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: of Fox News back in the day, and reading the

184
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: various conservative publications that existed then, which I know some

185
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: of you don't like anymore, but I grew up reading

186
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: them and reading the great conservative authors you know, Edmund

187
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: Burke and Hayek, and all that was training for this

188
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: current job. I was training for a job I didn't

189
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: know I was ever going to get. And then I

190
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: always tell everyone on my on my birthday, and I'll

191
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: try to make this one, you know, relatively relatively quick,

192
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: that not only did I not expect to have a

193
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: media job. For those parents out there who have kids

194
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: who are have special needs, have either a learning issue

195
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: that has to be addressed or in my case of

196
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: speech issue, I know what that's like. And I like

197
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: to tell people this because I think there's a particular

198
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: humility that comes from being a kid who.

199
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: Is really.

200
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: Well, constantly feeling very different. And that was my case

201
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: when I couldn't pronounce my own name. I had an

202
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: annunciation disorder and that had to be worked out through.

203
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 2: Speech therapy over over a few years.

204
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: And so I would I would tell people I couldn't

205
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: pronounce my own name, and that was you can imagine

206
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: being a kid, you know, first grade, and the other

207
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: kids look at you, like what and I would say

208
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: words strangely. It sounded normal to me, but I would

209
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: say words very strangely. And there was a conversation that

210
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: even happened where my mother was approached by the head

211
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: of the school that I was in, or I guess

212
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: it was that, well, the sort of the head of

213
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: the lower school they called it, you know, the part

214
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 1: of the school.

215
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 2: It's like first through third grade. Look like the.

216
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: Teacher thinks, maybe he's got to go to a special

217
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: a special school. But I think, meaning this this administrator,

218
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: if we just give him a little more encouragement and

219
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: we get him some outside help, then he'll be okay.

220
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: And so I got pulled out of normal class and

221
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: started to get both because remember your confidence is shattered

222
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: when you're a little kid by not being able to

223
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: say your name. And then that hurts you in the

224
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: classroom as well. So you know what I'm gonna continue.

225
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: I'll continue this story in a second here and tell

226
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: you this there is a happy ending. I know some

227
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: of you heard it, but hey, it's my birth it's

228
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: my birthday segment. December twenty eighth is my birthday. I'm

229
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: not gonna I'm gonna be off then, So I'm giving

230
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: you my yearly sort of birthday reminiscence and.

231
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 2: Going back in time a little bit.

232
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: But you know, it's gonna be great watching a fantastic

233
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: movie with the family this holiday season. So here's what

234
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: I recommend. Take yourself and your family this Christmas Day

235
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: to see The Boys in the Boat. It's a new

236
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: film from director George Clooney. It debuts in movie theaters

237
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: on Christmas. It's a rags to Richest crowd pleaser based

238
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: on the number one New York Times bestselling book.

239
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 2: Clay loves this book, by the way. He says, the

240
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 2: book is fantastic. He's read it.

241
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: Told me that I'm gonna read the book. I'm gonna

242
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: go see the movie, and it's funny. I actually wrote

243
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: Crewe in college, so I have a particular I was

244
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: not good by the way. I wish I could say

245
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: that I was like talented or good at Crewe. I

246
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: was like mediocre to sub mediocre. But I did do it,

247
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: and I did compete. I did make the first boat

248
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But anyway, this is a Boys

249
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: in the Boat is an inspirational true story about a

250
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: very difficult sport. Let me tell you rowing, getting up

251
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,760

Speaker 1: on the Connecticut River, having your hands get turned into

Speaker 2: Using the the the.

Speaker 1: thirty six University of Washington College rowing team that computer

257
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: for gold at the Summer Games in Berlin. The team

258
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: rowed out of a need to eat and a need

259
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: to sleep and gave them an edge. Capture the power

260
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: of working together to overcome all odds while running for

261
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: our nation. They just don't make movies like this anymore.

269
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back, every buddy. I was telling you

270
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 2: guys that I'm giving you my.

271
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: Little birthday, my birthday story, which I always tell because

272
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: I think I try to tell it a little bit

273
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 1: each year. Sometimes you do on a podcast, sometimes I

274
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: do it. You're on the show, but for all the

275
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: parents out there, just to bring you up to speed.

276
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: So I'm a kid, I'm in the first grade and

277
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm told, my parents are told that I can't speak normally.

278
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: I have I have an annunciation disorder. So I'm saying

279
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: words improperly, and I don't know why it's coming out

280
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: differently than I It's a little bit like a verbal dyslexia.

281
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's coming out differently than I think it should.

282
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: And I mean that's not an official term, but I'm

283
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: just saying that's kind of what it felt like.

284
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 2: And I had to work on it. So they took

285
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 2: me out.

286
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: They put me in special class, or rather special tutoring

287
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: and special speech classes. Now I'm very lucky my parents

288
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: were on it. And I and they, you know, were

289
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: able to devote the resources to me. So I understand

290
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: this is you know, I was in a unique situation

291
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: in that regard. But the main thing was my parents

292
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: really kept faith in me and kept encouraging.

293
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 2: Me, and I managed.

294
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: To By the third grade, I was kind of I had,

295
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: I mean normalized as maybe the wrong term, but I

296
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: was in the you know, in the middle of the class.

297
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: By the fourth grade, I was the number one student

298
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: in my class. And by the fifth grade they were

299
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: actually giving me extra reading assignments and homework because I

300
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: seem so bored doing what the other.

301
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: Kids were doing. So things turned around. They turned around

302
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: for me pretty rapidly, and I.

303
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: Ended up getting a one hundred thousand dollars scholarship to

304
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: a private high school in New York regis you know now,

305
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the scholarship these these private schools

306
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: in New York, believe it or not, the private day

307
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: schools in New York City now cost sixty.

308
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: Grand for high school.

309
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the scholarship now would probably be twice that,

310
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, two hundred thousand dollars. But yeah, I got

311
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: a full ride my parents. So I went from I

312
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: don't think this kid can stay in normal school. That's

313
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: what the administrators worried about. Which, by the would I

314
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: would have you know, I would have been okay, I

315
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: would have done the work outside, gone to different school.

316
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: But you know, the point is just that I was

317
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: able to overcome it. And so for any of you

318
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: who have, oh, I went from that to my dad

319
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: would have My parents would send me with a they

320
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: gave we had to pay a laboratory science fee. I

321
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: remember readis was like twenty dollars. That was the and

322
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: I had to bring a check in for our laboratory

323
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: science fee. I don't know why they made us pay that.

324
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: But they did.

325
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: I think it was just kind of a show, like, yeah,

326
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: your scholarship, you're you're giving us a twenty dollars check.

327
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: Just remember that it should be you know, at the time,

328
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: it should have been like a twenty five thousand dollars check.

329
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: It was twenty bucks. But I bring it up because

330
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: for all the parents out there, if you have a

331
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: you know, kid who has problems, especially in the you know,

332
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: learning and development phase of things, just your belief in

333
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: them and you're unwavering faith in them, and the and

334
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: all the attention that you can give them and support.

335
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: You'd be amazed is possible. And I sit here now

336
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: talking to you as one of two voices on either

337
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: the biggest or one of the biggest radio shows in

338
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: the entire country, and I was somebody who as a

339
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: kid couldn't pronounce my own name. So you'd be amazed,

340
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: what is in fact possible? And I remind myself of

341
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: that every year on Christmas, because or Christmas and my

342
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: birthdays they're very close to each other. Because I think

343
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: that gratitude is such an important, such an important place

344
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: to be.

345
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 2: I mean, humility is really important. Gratitude is really important.

346
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,800

385
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: during the week and great stuff from Michael Berry. I

386
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: wanted to get some of our vip emails. Love hearing

387
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: from our VIPs. I had no idea how much I

388
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: was going to be thinking about it talking about tarantulas.

389
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: You know, I gotta tell you that was not a

390
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: thing that I was expecting yesterday when I was getting

391
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: ready to do prep for the show. But anyway, Charles

392
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: wrote in This is Listener, Charles, I had an ex

393
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: girlfriend who had three tarantulas as pets, and she knew

394
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: all about them. First of all, there are two main

395
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: types of Old World and New World. The New World

396
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: spiders are all basically from North America and they don't

397
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: really have any venom or want to hurt you. But

398
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: the Old World spiders from Australia and Asia, those ones

399
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: will seriously mess you up.

400
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 2: Anyway.

401
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: She would take them out all the time, the New

402
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: World spiders, and let them crawl all over her body

403
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: and let them tickle her feet. Oh my god, I

404
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: don't know team how much producer, Mike, how much would

405
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: you have to get paid this Christmas to have some

406
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: tarantulas crawling over you? I mean, it would be a

407
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: lot of money for me. Man, I have no interest

408
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: in getting my feet tickled by tarantulas.

409
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 2: Oh the in laws? Okay, fair enough, fair enough?

410
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm I'm amazed at how many people wrote

411
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: in yesterday. I should have known better than to think

412
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: for one second that there wouldn't be a lot of

413
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: Iraq Kneid experts and that there are tongues of you,

414
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: you know.

415
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 2: I feel like we could do a whole a whole

416
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 2: hour on.

417
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: The different spiders and which ones are venomous, and to me,

418
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: spiders are start of the scariest. Although I did see

419
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: I think it was in of course Australia. I think

420
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: it was in Australia where there was a This was

421
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: yesterday and this is not like obviously holiday stuff at all,

422
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: but there was a guy.

423
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 2: Who a woman was her husband was filming her on

424
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 2: the beach. She was on the beach.

425
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 1: I think it's fine, beautiful that and then in the

426
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: background a guy gets actually attacked and killed.

427
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 2: And they initially thought it.

428
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: Was a shark, and actually the thing is now they

429
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: think it's a saltwater crocodile, which.

430
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 2: Is I don't know.

431
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: I I think Clay and I talked about this. I'd

432
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: rather I don't know. I think I'd rather go shark

433
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 1: than saltwater croc personally. But anyway, let's think about happy things.

434
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: This is I'm not trying to turn this into a

435
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 1: grinch Christmas. VIP listener David writes, ining, oh yeah, he wrote,

436
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,959
Speaker 1: this was yesterday. The parents did try to calling calling

437
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: in on Home Alone. Well, yeah, yeah, they did try calling.

438
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: They didn't try very hard though.

439
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 2: You know.

440
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: One fun thing I watched the making of Home Alone

441
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: on Netflix. The mo what was it the movies that

442
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: I think it's the movies that made us is that

443
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: is the name of the series, which is a good series.

444
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: Actually one of the rare recent Netflix series that I

445
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: have to say. I enjoyed the one on Diehard. Did

446
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: you guys see this one? Bruce and Mike? Do you

447
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: see the one on die Hard?

448
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 2: So good? It was?

449
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: Uh. I mean, first of all, Diehard the book and

450
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: I can't remember what the book is called. Some of

451
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: you are going to write into me, but there was

452
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: a book that was based on and they changed the

453
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 1: name and they changed a lot around. If they hadn't made.

454
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 2: Major changes like it wouldn't have been very good.

455
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: I think McClain dies at the end of the book

456
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: like it's you know, I think he jumps off the

457
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: building instead of having Hans go for Alan Rickman in

458
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: that role. As Hans Gruber, I think that I think

459
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: he's my well, no, I think that's my second favorite

460
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: bad guy performance of all time. I think that's my

461
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: second bad favorite bag guy performance of all time.

462
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 2: Number one is probably Heath Ledger and The Joker h

463
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 2: and the Dark Knight Rises.

464
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's he's so like ridiculously good in

465
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: that very dark role that I think he's number one.

466
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 2: But Hans Gruber, Hans, He's amazing.

467
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 1: It is weird though that he's German, but has a

468
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: British accent like he should have been like the rest

469
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: of them, like oh, we'll here. We're putting some missiles

470
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: in Zanaka Toomi Taua so we can shoot the Zahma

471
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: call as it comes up. Like instead, he's like, yes,

472
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: I have three suits from sevil Row.

473
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 2: London, Like wait, you're German. That's not German. But I

474
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 2: don't even care his accent's wrong. I don't care.

475
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: Let's see we have VIP listener Damon right for a

476
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: Christmas film Holiday Inn from nineteen forty two with the

477
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: song White Christmas by Irving Berlin sung by Bing Crosby.

478
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: You guys know this one. I did get made fun

479
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: of yesterday for my Miracle on forty second Street. Hey,

480
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: Miracle on forty second Street. San is drink. He's drinking

481
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: a bottle of Old English and you know he's having

482
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 1: a tough year. You know. Miracle on forty second Street

483
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: very different setting the Miracle on thirty fourth Street for

484
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: New Yorkers. Although I don't know, it's thirty fourth Street

485
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: nicer than forty second Street.

486
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 2: Really, isn't the not? Now? Yeah?

487
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: I think Port Authority is on thirty fourth Street now,

488
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: which is Yeah, Port Authority is not the most inspiring place. Oh,

489
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: Penn Station's thirty fourth Street. That's right, well, I think

490
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: I think also Port Authority isn't I mean I should know. Oh,

491
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 1: Port Authority's at forty second Street. Okay, all right, I

492
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: get these things confused. Even though I lived in New

493
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: York with my whole life, haven't spent a lot of

494
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: time in Port Authority, have spent a lot of time

495
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: at Penn Station vip listener, Donna. Since the wizards are smart, Wait,

496
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: why and they're doing away with everything in our history?

497
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: Why do West Point people still wear gray uniforms?

498
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 2: Isn't that what the Confederacy?

499
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: Or I can't speak to the history of West Point uniforms.

500
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: I have no I just you're catching me. I have

501
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: no idea. I don't think that gray as a color

502
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: is necessarily something that people immediately associated with the Confederacy.

503
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, like I wear a lot of

504
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: gray sweatshirts, like that's not but I can't. I don't know.

505
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: And so if there is some historical connection, someone write

506
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 1: in and tell me you caught me on a on

507
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,479
Speaker 1: a on a history point that I have no idea

508
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: about more VIP listeners writing in. Silent Night in Algona

509
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: is a powerful true story about a nineteen forty five

510
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: pow camp of German prisoners in Iowa. It was produced

511
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 1: by the Red, Wet and Blue Company and showcases what

512
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: the Christmas spirit really means. The star is Kurrn Jacobs,

513
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: a young actor who's also a champion wrestler. You can

514
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: mention it today. I think your audience are truly like

515
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: the film. Well, obviously I just mentioned it. Have any

516
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: of you team in New York? Have any of you

517
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: heard of Silent Night in Algona? Never heard of this before?

518
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: Is this like an indie film?

519
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 2: I don't know.

520
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: I know nothing about this one. I did see gosh,

521
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: I can't remember what it's called. I took who did?

522
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: Rachel watched it yesterday. Engineer Rachel watched Silent Night, and

523
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: I'll go to does she we need to know thumbs up?

524
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: Her thumbs down from what she saw?

525
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 2: Uh oh oh.

526
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: Man Rachel with the body slam of the movie.

527
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 2: Ouch. Look, I cannot I can't weigh in. I can

528
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 2: only go with what Rachel's telling me.

529
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: You know, so, VIP listener, Mike, I don't know what's

530
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: say I mentioned your recommendation on one of my team.

531
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: One of my team comes in flying elbow off the

532
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 1: top belt buckle. You know it is what it is.

533
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: But Rachel calls him like she sees him. Listener, Phyllis vip,

534

00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 2: I also like I like the show.

Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Phyllis. I really really appreciate that.

538
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm glad you listen, and I'm glad everybody listens. So

00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 2: Thank you. I appreciate that, and I really enjoy it.

541
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I will say my wife, you know, Carrie,

542
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: she'll she might make fun of me a little bit.

543
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm always when i've been doing radio straight I don't

544
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: know when the last time was. I guess it would

545
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: be Thanksgiving I had a day off. But when i've

546
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 1: been doing radio straight through for a while, the first

547
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: day or two I'm off. And I probably shouldn't admit this,

548
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: but I'm an admit this. The first day or two

549
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: i'm off, I'm like, oh, relaxing. Then I start to

550
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: feel with twitchy. I'm like, wait, I'm not going to

551
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: get to I'm not going to get to talk to

552
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: everybody for a few today, really like I miss it,

553
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: and after more than a week, I really miss it.

554
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 2: So I'll be very excited to.

555
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: Come back and dive into everything with all of you

556
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: in the new year, because I truly do once you

557
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 1: get in this rhythm of being able to be at

558
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: a microphone like this and speak to as many wonderful

559
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: people across the country as we do every day. And

560
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: Clay and I always say this, we really this is

561
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: this is just the truth. It's going to sound a

562
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: little bit like a like a suck up thing, but

563
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: it's really true. Whenever someone listens to this show, stops

564
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: one of us and says, hey, I'm listen to the show,

565
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: and it's always the nicest people.

566
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 2: Like they're always so polite and uh and kind and

567
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: like there's like the people. And whenever someone's like, oh,

568
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: I listened to your show, I'm like, yeah, this is

569
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 2: someone who.

570
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: I'd want to have as my neighbor, you know, living

571
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: down the hall or across the street. And I think

572
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: that comes from I don't think that's an accident. I

573
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: think it comes from a sense of shared principle and

574
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: shared purpose for this country and and a shared philosophy.

575
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: I think that the people who were drawn to listen

576
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: to this show, and you know, there are others like it.

577
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: I have friends and conservative media who do a great

578
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: job as well. But they're people who believe in in

579
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: responsibility and and and loyalty and kindness and the law

580
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: and and God and duty and country, and I mean,

581
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: it's just it's a it's a really great group of people,

582
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: it really And it's funny because I remember when I

583
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: used to believe it or not go on CNN back

584
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: in the day, and that was really just a function

585
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: of uh, you know, well, I'll talk about that maybe

586
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: another time, some corporate wrangling that had nothing to do

587
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: with me in the conservative media world.

588
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 2: But when I used to go to CNN as a conservative.

589
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: Which was never fun, people would recognize me on the

590
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: New York City subway and they would there would be

591
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: the moment of recognition and then their eyes would sort

592
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: of like narrow a little bit, like you, because I

593
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:01,719
Speaker 1: was always the one who's like, I don't know, like

594
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: maybe we shouldn't be full communist in America, you know,

595
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: and like these left wingers who watch, you know, like

596
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: you're the one who And I remember a guy told

597
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: me on this like staring. We're sitting across from each

598
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: other in the subway.

599
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 3: And he he told me that he's told me that

600
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 3: he really doesn't like what I say on TV, but

601
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 3: I say it very well.

602
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 2: Which I thought, you know, under the circumstances. I was like, well,

603
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 2: you know, I'll take it, I guess. So, yeah, Yeah,

604
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 2: that's that's the thing.

605
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: Whenever I see any of you, though, it's people that

606
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: know you from i'ven't saying this for a long time.

607
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,959
Speaker 1: People that recognize you from TV. They're like, oh, that's

608
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: a curiosity. People who are your radio audience, they're your family.

609
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: They want to come over, shake your hand, give you

610
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: a hug. You guys know you guys know the name

611
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: of my dog, you know my wife's name. You know

612
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: where I grew up, you know where I went to

613
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: high school. People who are your radio listeners.

614
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: Are your radio family. Clay feels that way.

615
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: I feel that way, and it really really comes across

616
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: esecially over the holidays when I'll be traveling a little

617
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: bit and seeing some folks.

618
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 2: If you see someone in North Florida coming up who

619
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 2: looks like me. Guess what probably me.

620
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: Gene writes one of you recommended pants Tactical or whatever

621
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: and said that I was the only ones you wear

622

Speaker 2: Belts. Belts are oppressive.

676
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: Before we wrap up wrap up today, our friends at

677
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: Hillsdale College have asked me to wish you yours a

678
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: happy and blessed Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year.

679
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: Since Hillsdale's founding in eighteen forty four, it's taught its students,

680
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: by precept and example, the teachings and practices of the

681
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: Christian faith. Hillsdale continues that mission to this day in

682
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 1: its classrooms and nationwide through its educational outreach efforts. Hillsdale

683
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: College determines their own curriculum independent of any government mandates.

684
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 1: That's because they refuse every penny of taxpayer money, even

685
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: indirectly in the form of federal student grants and loans.

686
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: So this Christmas season, our friends at Hillsdale want to

687
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: thank you for your kindness toward the college. They've prepared

688

694
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 2: Sometimes all you can do is laugh, and.

695
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,439
Speaker 1: They do a lot of it with the hang Join

696
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: Clay and Buck as they lap it up in the

697
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: Klay and Buck podcast feat on the iHeartRadio app or

698
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. So the Commies think they

699
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 1: can slip a little breaking news past the Buckster because

700
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: he's so eager to put on his Santa hat and

701
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: drink some eggnog. I don't think so, not on my watch.

702
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:27,760
Speaker 1: NBC News here reporting the following Supreme Court sidesteps decision

703
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:34,240
Speaker 1: on Trump presidential immunity claim in federal election interference case. Oh,

704
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: looks like Jack Smith, the Special counsel, is getting a

705
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: lump of coal in his stocking, at least for now. Remember,

706
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: Smith wanted to expedite the Supreme Court to take a

707
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 1: look at whether Trump has immunity, so he wanted to

708
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: skip past the Court of Appeals the normal process, have

709
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court jump in right away. And the Supreme

710
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: Court's like, eh, I don't really think that we're gonna

711
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: do that.

712
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 2: We're gonna let the appeals court look at this. Now.

713
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: Why does this matter so much? It doesn't mean that

714
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: it's a win for Trump in the sense that he's immune.

715
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,800
Speaker 1: And if that happens, it's game over for Jack Smith

716
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: in DC at least, and Pride game over in.

717
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 2: Florida as well.

718
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:18,919
Speaker 1: But it messes with Jack Smith's politicized timeline. So will

719
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: he be able to get the cases done in time? Well,

720
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: he wanted to expedite it for a reason. This is

721
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: not what he wanted, so a little early Christmas present

722
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: for all the Trump supporters out there, a little bit

723
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,760
Speaker 1: of a win here for the Trump camp, a small wind.

724
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: But like I said, folks, we are laser focused on

725
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: this one. Yeah, we have fun, we talk presents, we

726
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: talk movies. But no breaking news gonna slip in in

727
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: the last hour of the show and the last show
