1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: Bold reverence and occasionally randomed. The Sunday Hang with Playing

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 1: Buck podcast. It starts now in the next hour or so.

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: I'm about to do something I've never done before. I

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: Am going to begin the training of my fifteen year

5
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: old to how to drive a car, so he now

6
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: has his learner's permit. It's crazy to me that I

7
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: have a kid who's old enough to drive a car.

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: I can't believe that I have reached this stage of life.

9
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: But Ali was suggesting, and I think it's a good idea.

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: If you have any tips for me that you found

11
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: to be particularly successful as it pertains to teaching your

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: kids how to drive a car, I could certainly use them. Again,

13
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: he's on the learner's permit stage can get his driver's license.

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: The rules and laws I know are different everywhere. I

15
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: think you have to have a learner's permit for six

16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: months in the state of Tennessee where I live, and

17
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: then you're eligible to go get your driver's license. I

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: don't remember what the rules were back in day, and

19
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: what's kind of crazy. I know everybody thinks younger generations

20
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: things are changing a lot. When I was turning sixteen,

21
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: everybody out there wanted to get their driver's license as

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: close to their sixteenth birthday as possible, and you would

23
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: actually keep track of when one of your friends was

24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: getting closer to sixteen, if they had an early birthday,

25
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: a September, October, November, December style birthday. In that first

26
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: semester of your sophomore year where suddenly you can start

27
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: to drive a car and you get that freedom. Kids

28
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: are nowhere near as excited now to get their driver's license.

29
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,279
Speaker 1: I think because so much of their life has moved

30
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: online that they aren't as socially active. Because they can FaceTime,

31
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: because they can snapchat and TikTok and all this other

32
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: different stuff.

33
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: They don't get together face to face as often as

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: teenagers wanted to do back in the past. But in

35
00:01:54,480 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 2: one hour's time, I will become a driving instructor. So

36
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: I am not gonna lie a little bit apprehensive about

37
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: how all this is gonna go. So I'm underway. I

38
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: would appreciate all of your words of wisdom and advice

39
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: as this process plays itself out. We're not gonna get

40
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: on the roads, or certainly the interstate yet. I think

41
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to be in some parking lots for a

42
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: couple of days at least before we get out onto

43
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: the road. Sunday Sizzle with Clay in Buck.

44
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 3: I took the New York City subway system. Everything was fine.

45
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: It feels like after thousands of subway rides over my life, Clay, now,

46
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: given all the stuff that's been going on, it's like, oh,

47
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 3: this is everything gonna be okay. It's like some kind

48
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 3: of adventure. But no, it's fine. But Clay was solo,

49
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: so I didn't know about this until I looked in

50
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 3: our inbox. He mentioned teaching his son, that's your your

51
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 3: oldest play obviously right, you're old.

52
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: My oldest is fifteen, will be sixteen next.

53
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,839
Speaker 3: Year to be able to drive and are I mean,

54
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: there's so many that we can't even really get into

55
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 3: how many emails have come in at this point. I mean,

56
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 3: i've this is like the response when we asked for

57
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: dog photos or something like.

58
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 2: It's just totally flatted. I couldn't believe Buck. As soon

59
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: as I got off the air, my own personal email

60
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: in box started blowing up. I guess a lot of

61
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 2: you have my personal email address, and then also the

62
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 2: Clay and Buck like thank you for all of the advice.

63
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 2: I have never taught anybody how to drive a car,

64
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: and so many of you out there have got kids, grandkids.

65
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,839
Speaker 2: I also heard from a lot of you that were

66
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: taught by your parents, like what you found to be

67
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: the most advantageous way to learn the lessons that were given?

68
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: What are like so I have?

69
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 3: I actually was told this by a friend, and I

70
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: learned to drive pretty early for a New York City kid,

71
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: I knew people that didn't learn in New York City

72
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: until they got to be eighteen nineteen. I started in

73
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 3: high school. I think I was sixteen, and I think

74
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: I had a license by the time I was seventeen,

75
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: But I I remember a friend told me something early

76
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: on when when, you know, because he had I think

77
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 3: he had his full license, or maybe we both had

78
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 3: our permits. I can't remember, but he said his dad

79
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 3: told him never change your speed for anybody. Go at

80
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 3: the pace that you feel safe going, whether it's a lange,

81
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: you know, whether it's like the speed on the highway,

82
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 3: yeah going, you know, entering a lane of oncoming He's like,

83
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: don't get nervous and let someone else dictate your driving.

84
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 3: You drive at the pace you feel safe and comfortable.

85
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 3: I thought that was very good early early stage advice.

86
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 2: The two best pieces of driving advice I have gotten

87
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: that I remember because I'm thinking about it now because

88
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 2: I've got to teach. I'm teaching my fifteen year old, Hey,

89
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: how do you he's got a learner's permit so he

90
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: can drive with me in the car, his mom in

91
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 2: the car. One is, and obviously where you live factors

92
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: in on this, But don't change away when you are

93
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: changing lanes into another lanes blind spot? Is that confusing?

94
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 2: If you have the choice, Let's say you're in the

95
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: far left and it has to be obviously like three

96
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: lanes of traffic or two lanes of traffic or whatever

97
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 2: when you're moving, because somebody else could be coming on

98
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 2: the opposite side of you. So if you're in the

99
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: far left and you come into the middle lane, don't

100
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 2: move when you're in the blind spot of the person

101
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: in the right lane because they could be coming across.

102
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 2: I'm staggered. Don't sit. And then also on the blind spot,

103
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 2: don't sit in someone's blind spot. I'm stunned, like either

104
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 2: past them or fall back. I'm stunned by the number

105
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 2: of people that will just get in the blind spot

106
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: and just stick there so you know over time that

107
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 2: becomes confusing. And then the other one was if you're

108
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: turning across and somebody waves you across, don't go until

109
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: you can confirm you're okay to go. You ever sit

110
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: in traffic where you're letting somebody come ups but you

111
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 2: can't see and somebody's like, oh, you can go. I've

112
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: seen so many people just get t bone because they

113
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 2: get waved through and they don't go as fast or

114
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 2: the person giving them the advice isn't seeing it. Yeah,

115
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 2: those are like major no nos that I've kind of

116
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 2: picked up on and was taught that I think are useful.

117
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 3: Another basic this is a little bit of a different

118
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 3: car safety tip, but you always when you come to

119
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 3: a stop if you can, especially if you're in a

120
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 3: This is really for when you're in an urban area.

121
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 3: You want to be able to see the back wheels

122
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 3: of the car in front of you, because that means

123
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 3: you have the space to maneuver should you need to.

124
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 3: If you're at a red light or something else. If

125
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 3: you go right up to the bumper somebody comes up

126
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: to your car, we know we're going to d C.

127
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: Clay we're not gonna be driving there, but a lot

128
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 3: of carjackings happen. Basic safety for especially if you know,

129
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 3: if you're overseas, you're in a sketchy place, you want

130
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 3: to leave enough space you can see the back wheels

131
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 3: of the car in front of you, because that gives

132
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 3: you the ability to rapidly maneuver without have to hit

133
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 3: reverse or anything else. I think that, Yeah, don't change

134
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 3: your driving speed for any anybody else. That's that's obviously important.

135
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: Don't And that also means like, don't let someone make

136
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: you go faster on the high you know, people that

137
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: are tailgating you, don't let them speed you up and

138
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 3: speed you up, because I think that's a common thing

139
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 3: that can happen to is you know, we're talking about

140
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 3: early everyone who's listening to this, who's been driving for

141
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 3: thirty forty years, you know this isn't for you, but

142
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 3: for anyone who's either teaching their kids or or themselves.

143
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 3: You know, we have some we have some young listeners.

144
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 3: I think that's an important one. I will also say

145
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:38,239
Speaker 3: in in South Florida, I'm not exaggerating when I say

146
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 3: it is entirely in the Miami metro area. It is

147
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: entirely acceptable and expected for people to go over one

148
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 3: hundred miles an hour on the highway and and switch

149
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 3: lanes constantly without using any turns. Like I'm the old

150
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 3: man who's like, does no one use signals here? I've

151
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 3: never seen people drive so fast and care so little

152
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 3: about the speed of their lane changes without letting anyone

153
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 3: know as I have in South Flora.

154
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: It's crazy. It is wild. I've noticed that in South

155
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: Florida how fast people drive. You mentioned d C driving.

156
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: I never had a car for the most part that

157
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: I was in DC. A lot of DC college kids

158
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: don't because it's relatively hard to find parking or it's expensive. Buck,

159
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: I think the most challenging thing that a lot of

160
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: people have to do is parallel park when they're learning,

161
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 2: and that is that's like, you know, advanced thesis degree

162
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: for teaching my kid. I'm not starting with parallel parking.

163
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: I pride myself on on parallel parking. This happened in

164
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 2: DC when I was in college. Buck, three different women,

165
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 2: grown women, not like college age women, stopped me on

166
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 2: the sidewalk and asked me to parallel their their parallel

167
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 2: park their car for them have you.

168
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 3: Ever heard of that happening. I know, I've actually never

169
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 3: heard of that happen. Anybody happens.

170
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody else is. I don't know

171
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: what makes people see me and think one. That kid

172
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: looks really trustworthy too. He looks like an credible parallel

173
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 2: parker three different times when I was a college kid

174
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: in DC, because you have to parallel park a lot

175
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: on the street. Three I swear to you three different

176
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 2: times walking on GW's campus. These are grown women. It's

177
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: not like it was like a pickup attempt or anything.

178
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: They asked me, they said, I'm sorry, I just I

179
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: can't get parked here. Can you please park this car

180
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 2: for me? Now you're abody's stealing cars. I nail something.

181
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 2: I nailed it. I don't know I'm an incredible parallel parker,

182
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: but somehow it just must have been off. In the

183
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 2: Cosmos Sunday Drap with Clay and Buck. Earlier in the show,

184
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 2: though Buck, I mentioned that I was going to be

185
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 2: teaching my fifteen year old how to drive. He's got

186
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 2: his learners permit. Tons of you have given me all

187
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 2: sorts of advice on this, and I also because we

188
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: were going to d C pointed out that multiple times,

189
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: I think it was three total women in DC asked

190
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: me to parallel park their cars. While I was in college,

191
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 2: just a college kid walking with a backpack on, I

192
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: parallel parked. I was bragging about my parallel parking skills.

193
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: I went downstairs to eat lunch, as I often do.

194
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 2: My lovely wife Laura was there. She had the radio

195
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: on and she said, I don't think you're that good

196
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 2: of a parallel parker, and then she brought up something

197
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 2: that happened on Thursday that had to do with parking itself,

198
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 2: which probably I need to confess. So Buck, after we

199
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 2: finished the show on Thursday, I drove back to our

200
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 2: place in Florida, and in my defense, we have the

201
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: smallest parking place that may have ever been designed in

202
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 2: the history of parking places. My wife also drives a

203
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: Cadillac Escalade to fit all the boys in. It's a

204
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: big suv. As I was pulling into park, I lightly

205
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: deemed the car park to the right of us in

206
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: this parking, in this parking area. So I went upstairs

207
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: to one of those situations. I think, my wife, whatever

208
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: the ding of the car next to us is going

209
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: to cost, it's worth it to her to be able

210
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 2: to point out that I had a parking mishap because

211
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: she's small and she can never see over the hood

212
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 2: of the car, and she is, to be fair, the

213
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 2: worst parker who has ever existed in the history of America.

214
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: Facing it out there words, and I'm talking about regular parking,

215
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 2: like just can't pull in straight ahead to a actual

216
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 2: existing parking place. So I and for the first time ever,

217
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 2: dinged a car. Now this and again, in my defense,

218
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 2: this is the smallest parking place that exists in the

219
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 2: state of Florida. And I have got this massive car

220
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: that I'm trying to park, and I'm trying to avoid

221
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 2: a wall on the left, and I lightly ding the

222
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: car on the right. So here is the that this

223
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 2: all happened. This is undisputed. Here is the question for you, Buck,

224
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 2: for everyone out there in the audience. I then went upstairs,

225
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: got a piece of notepaper, wrote a note saying, Hey,

226
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it's a very small ding, but I hit

227
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 2: the car here, and I wrote, you know, I'm gonna

228
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: be in this place until Sunday. If you want to

229
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 2: come knock on the door whatever you need information and

230
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: then I gave a phone number in the event that

231
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: that it was not that they didn't come by, and

232
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 2: I signed it Clay Travis, So it's p I have.

233
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: It's it's northern Florida. So the odds of whoever's car

234
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: I hit having some idea of who I am is

235
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 2: not a crazy idea, right based on where we are.

236
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 2: They doesn't want to say it, but he's kind of

237
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: a big kind of a big deal. So I put

238
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 2: my name on it. However, I gave them my wife's

239
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 2: cell phone number because because I don't want it could

240
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: be that somebody hates me. I don't want my cell

241
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 2: phone number getting out on like DNC dot com and

242
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 2: suddenly I get flooded by left wing call spam everything else.

243
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: So sometimes what we're dealing with, like even if I'm

244
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 2: in the errant facet, so I put her number down

245
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 2: my wife. The note was not touched the whole time

246
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 2: we're there, so we left on Sunday. The note hadn't

247
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: been touched except by my wife, who went to read

248
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 2: the note that I left on the car that I

249
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: had hit because she thought that I would put her

250
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 2: name down as the person who had also hit the car.

251
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: I did it, I said, I'm klay Travis. I hit

252
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 2: the you know, Nick the vehicle pulling in. But I

253
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: gave my wife's cell phone number, fair or foul in

254
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: your opinion as a newly married man for me to

255
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: get we don't have a home phone, by the way,

256
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 2: for people out there, legitimately do not have a home phone.

257
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 2: Where we're staying doesn't have a phone either, We only

258
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: have cell phones. Fair or foul to put down her

259
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: phone number to be called.

260
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 3: See more important for me to stay on Laura's good

261
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 3: side than yours, because I can know what he's big

262
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 3: forgiveness from you later. So I'm gonna say foul. You

263
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 3: should have put your own cell phone number there, all right?

264
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 3: What about what about the rest of the crew?

265
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: Was this? Was this a diva move by me? So

266
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: to be fair, I'll do the pull right now? New

267
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 2: Yorks dumb va? What are we going? We're going split?

268
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 2: Oh my, they're split. We have one thumb up, one

269
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 2: thumb down, and one to the side. So I can't

270
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: even get the tea. The team want to make the call.

271
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 2: It's dead even So to be fair, like anything that

272
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: goes wrong in the house or goes right, I control

273
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 2: nothing right, So if we have like a plumbing issue,

274
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: or if we need something fixed, my wife would handle

275
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 2: all of that because I'm in complict and.

276
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 3: I'm one of the producers. Producer Mark, who was outside

277
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 3: the room, just came in to do the tie breaking.

278
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: Foul.

279
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 3: He's saying foul.

280
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: He's saying, I should put my own number down.

281
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: Yep, you're you're under the bus play tell us what

282
00:14:59,000 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 3: the view is.

283
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: Like I just again, I'm teaching the fifteen year old

284
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: how to drive. In my defense, I like that you look,

285
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 2: you left a note.

286
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 3: I didn't have to leave an have to be clear,

287
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 3: this is a minor, minor party foul that you know

288
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 3: that would you.

289
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 2: Have left a note? What percentage of people do you

290
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: think would leave a note that?

291
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 3: I have no idea.

292
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: It's a minor it's a minor ding. It's not like

293
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 2: I just wiped out the whole right side of the car.

294
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 2: Like if you didn't know, you could think that it

295
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 2: could have happened somewhere else. But I, again, I lightly

296
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: grazed it.

297
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 3: Just imagine just imagine that, Like there's some you know,

298
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 3: some cars even have their own camera systems now or whatever,

299
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 3: imagine that you, mister, mister Clay Travis football SCC, I

300
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 3: love America. Guy, can clearly afford, can afford to help

301
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 3: to help somebody out with their dinged vehicle. You do

302
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 3: a ding in, a dig and run, or a ding.

303
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: And ding and drive. I don't even know so to drive.

304
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 3: If you know you were, that's not a good look.

305
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 3: That's not a good look.

306
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 2: Here.

307
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 3: We can't have that.

308
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: It's even possible that the person who was hit is

309
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: a listener. That wouldn't be staggering. Again, based on where

310
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: we're located in North Florida, Monster audience for this show

311
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: for OutKick like, it's like the SEC, It's like the

312
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 2: the home base of the beach of the SEC. Right like,

313
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: so basically, if you're a college football fan, this is

314
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: where you go. And so, but I loved that. My

315
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 2: wife thought that I might have blamed her for the

316
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 2: accident and also given her cell phone number. Right, we

317
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: haven't heard, We haven't heard anything. No contact has been

318
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: made based on my errant driving. But I was bragging

319
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: about how good of a parallel parker I was. I

320
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 2: wanted to come clean about the first time that I've

321
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 2: ever hit a car parking and again. I think my

322
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 2: wife enjoyed this. Last time I got into any kind

323
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: of accident, buck, it had snowed and there was ice,

324
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 2: and I said, oh, it's fine, I'm going to go

325
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 2: to the gym. I had my eight year old with me.

326
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: We hit a piece of ice, spot of ice, I

327
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: don't even know what you call it, slid directly into

328
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: a tree, did some damage to the front of the car.

329
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 2: I turned around, I drove right back and you should

330
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: have seen the gleeful face that my way. We were

331
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 2: all foo.

332
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 3: It's just like this show has turned into Clay's Car

333
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 3: Confessions all of a sudden, you know, well, but you'll

334
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,719
Speaker 3: love this. How many speeding tickets have you gotten since

335
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 3: we're going there?

336
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 2: I have gotten speeding tickets? I think in nine states?

337
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 3: What you've gotten nine speeding tickets?

338
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: Oh, at least now I haven't gotten one in a while.

339
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 3: I go one speeding ticket in my life and I

340
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 3: was in college.

341
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: Oh, I've gotten a ton. And let me also say this,

342
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 2: when we were having our first kid, they wouldn't give

343
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: me life insurance because I had gotten too many speeding tickets.

344
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 2: Like I have gotten that thing in the mail where

345
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 2: they're like we're going to suspend your life icens if

346
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 2: you don't because I I don't do the I won't

347
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: go to like the the I've been to the trainings before,

348
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 2: but I'm not gonna spend a whole day to get

349
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 2: the thing knocked off of my uh knocked off of

350
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 2: my insurance, right, I just I would rather most.

351
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 3: You've ever been caught going over the limit? Have you

352
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 3: ever gone to?

353
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 2: No? No? No, I I'm I'm I'm trying to do

354
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 2: the math. I mean in in college twenty over, oh

355
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 2: more more than twenty over.

356
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 3: Clay's a madman.

357
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 2: I know I drive. I drive really really This ally

358
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: just said speeding tickets don't surprise me after getting a

359
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 2: ride from Clay in Nashville's speedy gun Travis, I, I

360
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 2: do drive. I tend to drive. I don't. I'm impatient.

361
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: But if there's nobody in front of me, why I'm

362
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna just suddenly drive off the road. So far,

363
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 2: I've never driven off the road like I I like

364
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 2: to go fast. But but I was gonna say when

365
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 2: I hit the tree in the uh in the I

366
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 2: that was an ice issue, not a speed issue. My

367
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 2: eight year old I think he was like sick or

368
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 2: my middle son, I think he was eighth. Then we

369
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 2: got out, we looked at it and his you know,

370
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 2: his immediate thing was I was like, oh, mom's gonna

371
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 2: kill us, and he was like, don't tell her. I

372
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 2: was like what. I was like, what do you mean?

373
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 2: I was like, this guy's ride or die. I was like,

374
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 2: what do you mean? He was like, there's a dent

375
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 2: in the front of the car. He's like, just don't

376
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 2: tell her. Dad, just see if she was like there's

377
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 2: a piece there's a piece of metal that has fallen

378
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 2: off the vehicle.

379
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 3: But that we ultimate gaslighting is you ding up the

380
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 3: car and then the person who finds the ding You're like,

381
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 3: I mean, let's come clean here. We all know what happened.

382
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 3: You know, we all know you did it.

383
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 2: Just don't tell her. By the way, Mason Mike Mason

384
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 2: on the show, sixteen tickets.

385
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 3: Wait, one of our guys has gotten sixteen tickets.

386
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 2: That's what Ali just texted us. Sixteen sixteen speeding tickets.

387
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I thought I had a lot. I can.

388
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 2: I don't know.

389
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 3: I'll tell I'll tell the story briefly now because we've

390
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 3: been hitting these I was with my dad once when

391
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 3: he got two speeding tickets and the same day, which

392
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 3: was which was amazing that well, he was not in

393
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 3: a good mood. It's the second ticket, I can tell

394
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 3: you it is defense.

395
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 2: I've been there before. I've thought, what are the odds

396
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 2: that you would get to in one?

397
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 3: You think it's like you're jumping into the hole left

398
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 3: by the artillery round. It's not gonna hit there again.

399
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 3: Oh no, the speed trap will get you again.

400
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 2: The last and by the way, I think I have

401
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 2: funded most of the schools in South Alabama trying to

402
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 2: drive to the beach. You have never seen speed traps

403
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 2: like South Alabama speed traps exist. I mean, buck, the

404
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 2: speed limit will go like fifty five to twenty five

405
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 2: in the space of like two hundred yards. It's almost

406
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: impossible not to be speeding on some of these places.

407
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: And so uh hey, making.

408
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 3: Me feel like I drive like a little old lady.

409
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 3: I got one speeding ticket in my life. I've had

410
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 3: one fender bender. That's it.

411
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 2: Well, now it makes sense why you're complaining about people

412
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 2: in Miami driving too fast, because you're like you might

413
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 2: basically miss.

414
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 3: Daisy pretty much. People in Miami, though legitimately all think

415
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 3: they're in Fast and Furious twelve or something. I mean,

416
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 3: you've never It's a car culture and everyone's got their

417
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 3: cars as sort of you know, souped up as you

418
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 3: can possibly get it possibly can can be. And for

419
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 3: someone to blow past you, especially like right outside of

420
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 3: Miami on ninety five, someone to blow past you at

421
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty miles an hour is like not.

422
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 3: I mean, it just happens regularly all the time, like

423
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 3: no one cares. I also never see anyone pulled over.

424
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 3: And another line in New York you get. I mean,

425
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 3: you get outside of New York City and you start

426
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 3: trying to like, you know, let it rip a little

427
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 3: bit in your Maserati or your beamer or whatever you're getting,

428
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 3: you're getting nailed.

429
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. My wife sits next to me in the

430
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 2: car constantly saying you're going too fast, You're going too fast.

431
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 2: That's what she does when she's not being the worst

432
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 2: parker that's ever existed in the history of mankind. By

433
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 2: the way, does this help or hurt me on future

434
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 2: speeding tickets? All of this confession for all of the

435
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 2: police officers out there that are listening, well, they would know.

436
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 3: Any state trooper in the country would know that Clay

437
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 3: and Buck are very pro law enforcement. That's true, that's

438
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 3: going for us. And they like to drive fast too.

439
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 3: And again I don't think I'm putting aboud ay danger,

440
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 3: but I did nick that car, just a small nick

441
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 3: on Thursday, so I wanted to be clear as I

442
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 3: am in the process of teaching my fifteen year old

443
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 3: how to drive. I don't think he's going to be

444
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 3: an aggressive driver, by the way, or even drive very fast.

445
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 3: I think he's going to be much more like you, Buck.

446
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 3: He's going to kind of drive like a little girl.
