Speaker 1: us to do so far this year. So Buck and

11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,959
Speaker 1: I both very thankful for all of you and want

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: you to be safe while you are traveling around the country.

13
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: I've seen some photos and videos from airports all over

14
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: the country and it's really kind of crazy to see

15
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: how many of you are out and about. Buck is

16
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: in New York, I am in Nashville. We'll be celebrating

17
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: with our families close to home, and we can't wait

18
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: to be able to do that. So we've got a

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: lot to dive into. I'm gonna open up phone lines

20
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: have a fun time with you guys on Thanksgiving Eve.

21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: Here eight hundred two eight two two eight eight two.

22
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: If you want to react to us. We're going to

23
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: head out to Qatar, and I believe that is the

24
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: official pronunciation that Fox has decided on. Buck. I mean,

25
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: for the Arabic speakers out there, it's cutter. But we're Americans,

26
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: so we call things whatever we want. It's not the

27
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: University of not Madame, it is Notre Dame. Same idea.

28
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: They had a full article, I think, on in the

29
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: New York Times that I read in the last couple

30
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: of days about how the pronunciation of the country there's

31
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: like seven or eight different ways to pronounce it, depending

32
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: on what angle you go with. But we are going

33
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: to Doha, which is the capital of Qatar, and we

34
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: will talk to Alexei Wallace, who is a Fox soccer analyst,

35
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: in advance of what should be a really fun Friday.

36
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: I know many of you will be watching a lot

37
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: of sports Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday as you eat your

38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: turkey kickback. I actually Buck just came from my kids

39
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: and a bunch of other neighborhood kids in a mass

40
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: football game. Uh. They are all out of school, and

41
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: first thing they want to do. My eight year old,

42
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: my twelve year old and my fourteen year old are

43
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: all a part of the same game, big game breaking out.

44
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: I'm sure many of your kids are out. Hopefully they're

45
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: running around and having a fantastic time. So I have

46
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: cousins who had a you know, I grew up right

47
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: in the middle of Manhattan, Like I lived right in

48
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: the concrete jungle right in New York City, and we

49
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: would go out. I had cousins that had a big place,

50
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: like a house, like how people live in houses. Yeah,

51
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: you're still stunned by how people live in houses. Yeah, yeah,

52
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: they were. They had a yard. Yeah, and there were

53
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: there were not like like like fifteen or twenty floors

54
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: of people living above and loath them. They just had

55
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: a and you know, they had a big dog. But

56
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: we used to remember we would play basketball and even

57
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: throw a football around, but we would have to wear

58
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: a jacket and tie for Thanksgiving and Christmas as a

59
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: family of the little kids. Do you remember the days

60
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: where you could just go out there, no stretching, no,

61
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, you know. Now I'm like, oh, man, I

62
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: need like like four minutes of like self shiatsu on

63
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: my lower back before I could even pick something up

64
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: off the ground. Back then, man, I have Thanksgiving my cousins.

65
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: We are all the same age. Basically, throw around footballs,

66
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: play four on four basketball. It was America. Yeah. And

67
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: you know what's funny, I bet we have a lot

68
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: of people who work in hospitals for Thanksgiving. And first

69
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: of all, we appreciate everybody who doesn't get Thanksgiving off

70
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: and has to work. We know that as many of

71
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: you out there listening to us right now keeping the

72
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: country running. But the amount of people who come in

73
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: with Thanksgiving family football injuries very often older guys who's

74
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: am strings give out. Maybe the ACL doesn't stretch as

75
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: well as it used to. Massive numbers of injuries such

76
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: that Buck I told my boys, I was like, hey,

77
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: when we finished the show today, I'll get back out.

78
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: We'll play some football. It's like sixty five degrees here

79
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: in Nashville, perfect day. But I said, Dad is all

80
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: time quarterback. Only only thing I'm risking is the shoulder.

81
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: I'm not getting out trying to run routes. I'm certainly

82
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: not trying to keep up with my kids and chase

83
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: them down and get the two hand touch tags on.

84
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: So Dad is like a hired gunman, just stands there

85
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: with the old school, old school quarterback, all time QB

86
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: both sides and gets blamed anytime he throws an interception

87
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: or doesn't make a perfect throw by every kid on

88
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: the field who is always always judging the QB. So

89
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: that is what's going on here. You came out. We

90
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: kind of live in a utopian like kids run around.

91
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: It's like goonies every day in this neighborhood. And so

92
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: I know many of you will be gearing up for

93
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: those games, and I hope again as I mentioned, I

94
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: know many of you are in your cars right now,

95
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: traveling to see the grandparents, traveling to see the kids

96
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: on the roads. A few more million in the planes

97
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: and a couple of million on the buses and the trains.

98
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: I mean, people are moving. This is the first Thanksgiving

99
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: that we've had where you'll have about as many people

100
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: going as prep you know, pre pandemic era. Would you

101
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: prefer to travel on Thanksgiving or just stay home? What's

102
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: your preferred Now? You're just getting married, so the family

103
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: dynamic can alter whether you want to travel or stay

104
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: home for the last solo with my family Thanksgiving that

105
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: I will have and Carrie is with her family, and

106
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: then we're gonna have to do the Clay. You're gonna

107
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: have to advise me on this. Clay is going to

108
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: be marriage Consolieri. You know we'd be like Clay. Did

109
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: we break down Christmas? Thanksgiving? Is that a one package

110
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: of the two different things? Do you go all in

111
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: one one year? What about New Years? You know, I

112
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: gotta work all these things out. It makes a big difference.

113
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 1: And I know those of you out there traveling right now,

114
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: once you add kids to the to the travel routine,

115
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: it makes a big difference because kind of easy to

116
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: go back home when it's just you and the wife,

117
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: or just you and the girlfriend or whatever else. But

118
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: when you start adding in multiple little people and their schedules,

119
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: it gets way more complicated. Yes, And I also will

120
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: tell you I mentioned this because I flew back into

121
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: New York today. I'm here in New York City Midtown,

122
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: and there were a lot of people that were wearing masks,

123
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: which is unsurprised. I gotta say a lot, maybe ten percent,

124
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: I'd say ten percent of the flight, which demeans. But

125
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: I've also noticed that there are now people who really

126
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: get into like the N ninety five mask with the

127
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: two rubber straps. I saw at least four or five

128
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: people with this where it is so tightly affix to

129
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: their head that you can see the line of the

130
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: rubber and the back of their scalp and kind of

131
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: a you know, like like they're just it almost looks

132
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: like a form of self asphyxiation. And I feel very

133
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: sorry for these people because clearly there's there's something wrong here.

134
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: And this also brings this to why we we were

135
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: both I mean, I don't know if anything was getting

136
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: us more fired up yesterday on the political scene for

137
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: sure than the Fauci because he's if he came out

138
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: and said that it was it really is, guys, you

139
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: really don't have to do this stuff anymore. But I

140
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: won't even at this point, Clay, I won't even demand

141
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: that he admit he was wrong about everything, that he's horrible,

142
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: he's an evil smurf. He's the worst bureaucrat in the

143
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: history of the country. I won't even get into it.

144
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: He could just come out now and say you don't

145
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: have to do this craziness anymore, and I would at

146
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: least give him a little bit of credit for not

147
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: making people suffer through this madness anymore. I'm telling you

148
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people walking around in New York still

149
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: with masks on. And you know what, Buck, that's such

150
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: a good point because this is his final public event.

151
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: If he had any semblance of the since, he would

152
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: have come out and said, hey, you know what, we

153
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: are very fortunate now in the third Thanksgiving, this is

154
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: the third Thanksgiving since COVID hit. You really don't need,

155
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: if you analyze your risk factors, to be wearing masks

156
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: to Thanksgiving dinner. You really don't need to be doing testing.

157
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: You can get back to two thousand nineteen era Thanksgiving.

158
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: You if you're sick and you don't feel well, hey,

159
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: don't go to Thanksgiving. I just got a text message

160
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: my brother in law and my niece. They have the flu.

161
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: Probably not going to hang out with them, just like

162
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have for the last twenty or thirty years

163
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: of your life. Somebody's sick, you say, okay, we'll change plans.

164
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: But if you feel well, you don't need to change

165
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: your behavior, just like you would have done back in

166
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: two nineteen. Buck, this was his opportunity to in some

167
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: way declare victory and embrace a return to normalcy. He

168
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: didn't do it and as a result, the twenty five

169
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: or twenty percent or thirty percent of broken brains out there,

170
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: they're never going to go back to. So I also

171
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,319
Speaker 1: want to point out that DC, which is a political

172
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: echo chamber monoculture. I mean, there's DC is ninety five percent.

173
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: I think it is now officially more Democrat than San Francisco,

174
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: just to our nation's capital. Everybody more left wing, more

175
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: Democrat heavy even than San Francisco. It might be within

176
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: one or two percentage points of each other. Maybe they're

177
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: maybe San fran has a point or two one it,

178
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: but they're right alongside each other. Okay, and we've all thought,

179
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: you know, San Francisco is the most you know, the

180
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: most left wing major city in America for a long time, Clay,

181
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 1: the DC public schools are requiring negative COVID tests for

182
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: people to return after Thanksgiving. Yeah, so I saw this

183
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: first of all, what a massive waste of time and resources.

184
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: And I guess the idea here is, oh, we're going

185
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: to test you after Thanksgiving because that's so much more

186
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: dangerous for COVID spread than everyone just living their lives

187
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: and getting COVID all the time, which is happening anyway,

188
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: then this would be like it would be like saying

189
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to come back to school until we

190
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: give you a test for the cold common cold and

191
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: you say, okay, but I'm probably gonna get a cold

192
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: in two weeks or you know, you can't stop this.

193
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: So what is this even doing at this point? But

194
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: I think this has become These have now become rituals

195
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: of the Democrat apparatus. This has become a thing that

196
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: people do because it makes them feel good, the same

197
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: way that no one really thinks that Florida is going

198
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 1: to fall into the ocean because of climate change and

199
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: that recycling is really saving anything. But they do it because,

200
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's a ritual. It's like a religious ritual.

201
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: You didn't make you feel good for people Now super

202
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: tight and ninety five masks and totally unnecessary testing for

203
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: COVID is also a ritual. You know. I'm glad you

204
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: brought that up too. I'm reading right now, right before

205
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 1: we came on the show, I couldn't believe that this

206
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: is out there. But Washington Post headline, We've been telling

207
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: people this for quite some time. Vaccinated people now make

208
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: up a majority of COVID deaths subheadline, it's no longer

209
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: a pandemic of the unvaccinated. I'm reading from the Washington

210
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: Post for the first time, a majority of Americans dying

211
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:30,479
Speaker 1: from coronavirus received at least the primary series of the vaccine.

212
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: Fifty eight percent of coronavirus death in August were people

213
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: who were vaccinated or boosted. This is pretty it's pretty significant.

214
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: And so again we've been telling you this was the

215
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: case for some time. But when you had a shei's

216
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: jaw yesterday at the White House saying, hey, if you

217
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: get your COVID booster, you won't die of COVID, that's

218
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: a lie. Even the Washington Post now was saying, and

219
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: this was back in August. I'm sure the numbers are

220
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 1: even more substantial now, unfortunately, and we should mention many

221
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: of these people are dying with COVID. They are wildly unhealthy.

222
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: You're dying with three four comorbidities along the way, and

223
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: COVID is one of them. It's not at COVID exclusively,

224
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: but it does continue to puncture this public health argument

225
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: that they've made where if you get the COVID shot

226
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 1: or you get your boosters, it's just a pandemic of

227
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: the unvaccinated. It's not true. Well, it hasn't been true

228
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: for a long time. And what you're going to see

229
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: is they just slow roll the data and the analysis

230
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: of it, and the distribution of the obvious facts or

231
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: the obvious conclusions that come from all of this, until

232
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: it is more palatable to their audience. Right. The Washington

233
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: Post could have said this six months ago. Correct their

234
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 1: whole thing about, Oh, it's it's for the first time.

235
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: That's not true. That hasn't been true in a lot

236
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: of places across the country since last winter when the

237
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: pandemic was having yet another phase. And first of all,

238
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: it's not even a pandemic anymore unless clay excuse me, sir,

239
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: unless it comes to like emergency powers and maybe student loans.

240
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: Yeah away then and then apparently it's an emergency forever,

241
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: which we should talk about. So talk about this one.

242
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: Just just differ in the loans again, you know, tens

243
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: of billions of dollars because Biden feels like it, folks,

244
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,239
Speaker 1: we are thankful for a lot, but the poor governance

245
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: of the Biden administration is not one of those things.

246
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: We'll talk about. Both the things were thankful for and

247
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: the things we wish weren't so today on the show.

Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Welcome back in Thanksgiving Eve

268
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: edition Clay Travis buck Sexton Show, as I continue to say,

269
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: we are very thankful for all of you and hope

270
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: that you and your families have fantastic Thanksgivings and travel

271
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: safely to wherever you may be going to meet with

272
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: those friends and family. We talked some about the shooting

273
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: out in Colorado and the immediate way that it was politicized.

274
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: Everybody out there decided, oh, the right wingers are to

275
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: blame for this shooting that took place at a gay club.

276
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: And again credit to the people in that club who

277
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: managed to keep that shooting from continuing. There are many

278
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: heroes there. But if you turned on CNN, if you

279
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: turned on MSNBC, if you read the New York Times,

280
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: the Washington Post, the usual suspects in pr they all said, oh,

281
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: Fox News is to blame, Conservative talk radio is to

282
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: blame right wing influential figures have blood on their hands.

283
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: Then something interesting happened late last evening. I was sitting

284
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: around watching the newest version of The Santa Claus. Buck

285
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: My boys are obsessed. You watched The Santa Claus back

286
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: in the day that Tim Allen Santa Claus based movie,

287
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: or was that after your time. You're really putting me

288
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: on the spot here, chief. I have never seen the

289
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: Santa Claus. Should I see this movie? I save it

290
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: for the kids. When you and Carrie have kids, they

291
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: will probably love the Santa Claus. Tim Allen spoiler alert

292
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: is Santa Claus. And there's a new Disney Plus special

293
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: that's out with Tim Allen where they're counting down till Christmas.

294
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: I know it's the day before Thanksgiving, but my boys

295
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: are obsessed with Christmas already. What is the well, you

296
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: know what, we'll come back to Christmas movies and Thanksgiving

297
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: movies later. So I'm watching this. Yeah, we'll talk about

298
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: it in a second. But I'm watching this when out

299
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: of nowhere on my phone pops up a news alert,

300
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: and that news alert lets me know that the shooter

301
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: is actually in the court filings claiming to be transgender.

302
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: Here is CNN cut twenty reacting to the news late

303
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: last evening that, oh wait a minute, the shooter might

304
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: not have been some Tucker Carlson watching Maga enthusiast Donald

305
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: Trump's supporter might have actually been also transgender. Listen. Attorneys

306
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: for the accused shooter, Anderson Lee Aldrich say in new

307
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: court filings tonight that the suspect now identifies as non binary.

308
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: In a footnote to emotion as certain legal privileges, the

309
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: public defenders say, quote Anderson Aldrich is non binary. They

310
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: use they them pronouns, and for the purposes of all

311
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: formal filings will be addressed as mix Aldrich. So another

312
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: was not mister or miss I don't know what to

313
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 1: say about that. I mean, that's not anything that we

314
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: had heard from his background. People have been looking into

315
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: his background, and I don't know if anybody here, are

316
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: you guys lawyers? I mean, you know, I don't know

317
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: if I don't know what to say about that. I mean,

318
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: that's what he's now saying. I also, okay, a few

319
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: things here. One is I believe the individual here is

320
00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: considered non binary, not transgender, right, meaning in between. It's

321
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: not someone who is going from female to male. But

322
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: we may be right about that. I don't so I

323
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: get all confused on this term. Everybody gets, you know,

324
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: what is non binary versus trying So non binary means

325
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: neither quite fully on the female side of the spectrum

326
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: or the male side of the spectrum. Cist gender would

327
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 1: be if you're one or the other also known as gender.

328
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: If you're male or female that assists gender non binary

329
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: is you're in some middle ground between the two genders.

330
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: So a couple of interesting and interesting things that this

331
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: brings up. I mean, one is just and look I

332
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: understand right, I mean I even saw people saying, you know,

333
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 1: well we shouldn't. This isn't like some kind of a

334
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: gotcha moment. Hold on a second. People on the right

335
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: were the ones who were saying, including you and me,

336
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: what happened to Colorado Springs is horrific. We should come

337
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: together and grieve as a community. We should so support

338
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: to the human beings, the men and women and LGBTQ

339
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: individuals who are there. The army veteran who took down

340
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: the shooters should be praised for being a hero. That's

341
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: how we wanted to talk about this and cover this incident.

342
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: And if there's something there were by the way, red

343
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: flag laws in Colorado didn't stop this individual. There are

344
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: some security and procedural issues to discuss to try to

345
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: prevent such a horrific thing from happening in the future.

346
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: We're not going to stop all of these as we know,

347
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: but we can talk about how we might be able

348
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: to stop it and discuss that in a serious and

349
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: sober minded way. It was the Democrats who were saying,

350
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: this is Lauren Bobert's fault. It was the Democrats who

351
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: were saying, this is Tucker Carlson's fault. They did this

352
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: right away. And so, you know, if you are at

353
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: a you know, if you are at a funeral and

354
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: someone yells at you that you are responsible for the

355
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: death of the person that is being mourned, you're going

356
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: to defend yourself, right, You're gonna say I didn't do

357
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: you know. So I think it creates this unfair standard

358
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: where now we're being told, hey, guys, let's not you know, well,

359
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: let's focus on the issues at hand here, or not

360
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: get too deep into the pushback to the media. No,

361
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. They weaponized the narrative. It was wrong. They

362
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: jumped to a conclusion that fit there, and they slandered people.

363
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: And now it was fascinating. You might have seen this

364
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: clan social media. Initially it was well, clearly this person

365
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: aldrich clue, this person is just doing this as some

366
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: kind of a troll of the court or defense Yeah, yeah,

367
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: or some kind of defense. Not true. This individual wanted

368
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: to change his name at the age of sixteen. This

369
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: stretches back four years. This was not something that that

370
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: just they stumbled the pawn in this moment. And I

371
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: also think it raises issues. Why should the court accede

372
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: to this? Why should I mean, as far as the

373
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: court is concerned, there are men, there are women. There

374
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: are differences in law that affect men and women. And

375
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: the claim that somebody has to be referred to by

376
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: different pronouns, in fact, plural pronouns. I really mean this.

377
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: The New York Times has even had this discussion in

378
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: the past. Using plural pronouns is grammatically incorrect and confusing. Yes,

379
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: and in a court situation, to be confusing the jury

380
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: with plural pronouns when an individual committed a heinous act

381
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: is confusing. If I were, let me give it a sorry.

382
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: I'm just obviously fired up about this, Clay. If I

383
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: were accused of a serious crime, and I kept saying,

384
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: you can't refer to me as as the as the defendant,

385
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: you have prefer to me as the victim, because that's

386
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: how I identify. I identify as a victim. He said, Well, no,

387
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: of course, not that's going to confuse the jury. You

388
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: don't get to make up the language that other people

389
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: in a court of law use to discuss a legal proceeding.

390
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: I'm so I got big problems with that. No, I

391
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: think you're one hundred percent righte about this, And from

392
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: a legal perspective, you can imagine how the jury could

393
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: be confused in a big way. It's actually a tremendous

394
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: advantage to the defendant because every time you refer to

395
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: the defendant, if you say they, it makes people think

396
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: that more than one person was involved in a right

397
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 1: So if you say they did this shooting, then my

398
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: initial response is like, who are the shooterers? Plural directly,

399
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: and I'm sure most people sitting on a jury would be.

400
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: And also, if you're reading the transcripts as a lawyer,

401
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: which I used to have to do, when you're using

402
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: a plural, you are constantly thinking in your head, Okay,

403
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: wait a minute, did I miss something here? Is this

404
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: multiple people who were involved? Is this one person who

405
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: was involved? All of it's crazy And I think it

406
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: also ties in with what we said on this program,

407
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: which is this is unfortunately just further evidence of the

408
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: mental illness that I believe is likely involved in the

409
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: behavior of this shooter. That's another issue that I have

410
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 1: from a pure legal and justice system perspective on this one.

411
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 1: Every time to your point of Clay, yes it could

412
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 1: be they so were there multiple shooters. It's confusing, as

413
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: you just discussed, absolutely true, but also it raises this

414
00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:00,360
Speaker 1: idea that there is perhaps a collective responsibility. They they

415
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: did this terrible thing, but you know they have a

416
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 1: long history. Well who is they? Exactly right? This it

417
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: diffuses responsibility for the individual. The individual acts, and I

418
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: would say even you know, in some ways is also

419
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: a stealth I'm just gonna say it, a stealth mental

420
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,959
Speaker 1: health defense. The jury is going to be hearing all

421
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: the time about this, about this person who insists on

422
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: being called they if I'm a jury, I'm if I'm

423
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: a juror I'm sitting there saying, okay, this person is

424
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 1: mentally unbalanced. That's what's going to happen. So it's a

425
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: way of introducing a sort of insanity defense without actually

426
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: doing that. Because the person also what was it what

427
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: was the preferred not mister or missus, but MX MX

428
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 1: M M right. No, I know I'm saying I don't

429
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: even know how you pronounce it. What I mean, You know,

430
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: if I want to do a court of law and

431
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: I and I wanted them to refer to me. You know,

432
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: everyone knows. We could all fill in the blanks here.

433
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: It's this is crazy stuff that's going on. But also

434
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: the fact that they lied about this us right away

435
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: and put this on specific individuals. I'm just gonna say this, AOC.

436
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: Wasn't she the one who called out after Bobert. Yeah, AOC,

437
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: if she has a shred of honor or integrity, should

438
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: publicly apologize to Congresswoman Bobert. This is not just a

439
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: political part, is it. That is actually the case here.

440
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: If she will not apologize, she is a person of

441
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: no honor or decency. And we know by the way

442
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: that she will not apologize because she does have no

443
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: honor decency. Worse than that, even than her failure to apologize, Buck,

444
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: None of these people who jumped to conclusions about the

445
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: motivations of the shooter are going to be held accountable

446
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: by the media either, right, All these people who went

447
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: on CNN and MSNBC and attacked Fox News and attacked

448
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: Congresswoman Bobert and went after all the different right wing

449
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 1: as they describe it commentators, there are no consequences now

450
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: that they are proven wrong. I find it hard to

451
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: believe that this shooter is a Tucker Carlson viewer, or

452
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: a you know, Daily Wire subscriber, or a Clay and

453
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: Buck listener. And yet that is what they are going

454
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: to try to ascribe as the motivation. They're not going

455
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: to have to own the fact that they were wrong.

456
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: They try to use this shooting to further leverage the

457
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: narrative that Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter is dangerous and

458
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: leading to people die. I mean, they everything they could

459
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: fit this into they did. And look, there's a reason

460
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: why Rush's concept of the drive by media is so

461
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: accurate and so timeless, because when you think about it

462
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: in that context, the media just they unleash this devastation

463
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: of lies and they just speed off until the next one,

464
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: no accountability whatsoever. So what we finally have more information

487
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: Back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Thanksgiving Eve. We

488
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 1: are headed now down to Qatar. I believe I'm pronouncing

489
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 1: that correctly, or at least as the pronunciation has been

490
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: agreed to to be joined by Fox Soccer analyst Alexei Lawless.

491
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: They are eight hours ahead of us. It is almost

492
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day, I guess in Qatar and Alexei, first of all,

493
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 1: thanks for making the time for us. I know it's

494
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: an absolute crazy zoo over there with all the games

495
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: going on. And I want to start with this question,

496
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: US is up one zero When you see the play.

497
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: As a former defenseman for the US men's soccer team,

498
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: when you see the play of Walker Zimmerman and the

499
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: foul that he committed that led to a penalty kick,

500
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: your immediate reaction was to say, or think, what well?

501
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: Something I can't say on the radio because I am

502
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: an ADVID listener to your show and I know you

503
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: have a level of decorum here. By the way, I

504
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: do I subscribe. I listened to it every day this

505
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: morning on the peloton here in the hotel in Qatar.

506
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: In Doha. Here I was listening to the show. So

507
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: I am a huge fan of both of you guys

508
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: and of this show. When I saw that I was disappointed.

509
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: I was angry, um, and you know I pictured I

510
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: pictured myself on the field. And look, mistakes happen in sports,

511
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: mistakes happens in life, and it's how you recover from them.

512
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: So ultimately, the US ties Whales won one. And you know,

513
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: I know that Buck was having some fun at Wales's expense.

514
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: You know, Bucks should know that. I mean, it's kind

515
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: of come on, it's kind of fair, like how many

516
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: people even know that Whales is its own country. Well,

517
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: I understand that. I understand that, but you know they

518
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: they are a small country, but they are a hearty country.

519
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: And and look, I agree with you, the US should

520
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: have beaten Whales. And so you're dropping points there. And

521
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: in the way that had happened with Walker's Immerman making

522
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: that what amounts to a stupid foul. It shouldn't be

523
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: done at any level, especially for a professional and it's

524
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: big in a World Cup. However, there's a couple of

525
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: games to play here, including this huge one on Black

526
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: Friday against against England, our friends England, So there is

527
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: plenty to play for when it comes to the World Cup.

528
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: And whether you're into soccer or whether you're not into soccer,

529
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: this is an opportunity to sit down and celebrate what

530
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: I feel is the greatest country in the world. There's

531
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: a very few things in our life and our world

532
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: today that bring us together, and maybe soccer is one

533
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: of them. So Alexei, so I'm gonna put this out

534
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: there just in all fairness. Right, let's not looking good

535
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: for our guys on Friday. I'm just I know enough

536
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: about soccer, mostly from playing FIFA on PlayStation, but I

537
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: know enough about the English teams rankings and the American

538
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: teams rankings. It's not looking great for us. But you know,

539
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: we did win in seventeen seventy six, so we got

540
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: that going for us, which is nice. Iran, though we're

541
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: gonna be playing Iran. Tell me as somebody who knows

542
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: this US national team inside and now, I don't care

543
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: if we are playing Iran in shuffleboard, if we're playing

544
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: Iran in wings, you name it. America has to win.

545
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: Are we going to win that match? Well, You're going

546
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: to have to win in order to advance. So you're

547
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: absolutely right, Buck, this is going to be a huge game.

548
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: And look at you, as you know, sports sometimes mirrors

549
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: culture and society and politics and all those different things

550
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: and all of that is going to be on display

551
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: with Iran, which we have a long history from. Look

552
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: I grew up in the seventies and eighties and what

553
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: Iran represented to America and to Americans, and so that

554
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: will be part of the narrative. Ultimately, there's three points.

555
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: So and to your point, it doesn't matter whether there's men's, women's,

556
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: co ed naked. If we're playing Iran, I want to

557
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: win and we need to win this game in order

558
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: to go on. I think because to your point, who

559
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: knows what's going to happen against England. They are a

560
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: better team, doesn't mean that US can't get a point

561
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: or get a win over there. I believe that this

562
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: is a good US team that can do some big

563
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: things and this would be huge if they would be

564
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: able to beat England. But no matter what, that third game,

565
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: you're going to have to beat Iran. Okay. So that's

566
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: what a lot of people out there who they don't

567
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: if they don't follow this closely. We've got England, Wales,

568
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: the United States, and Iran in a group. And if

569
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: we had beaten Wales, we would have been an incredible

570
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: shape to advance because two teams advance. Do you see

571
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: this coming down to gold differential, in which case we're

572
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: going to be watching on Friday, everybody recovering from Thanksgiving meals,

573
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: kicking the feet up watching. Do you feel like, even

574
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: if we lose to England, it's desperately important to keep

575
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: it close because gold differential may well decide who advances

576
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: to the knockout rounds. Yeah, you're absolutely right, it is

577
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: important that we keep it close. But I do feel

578
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: that this has the opportunity in the makings of something historic.

579
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: And I know it's it's not a shirt, but this

580
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: is a this is a young team. It's the second

581
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: youngest team in the tournament. I think they have a

582
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: not just a responsibility that they feel, but also an

583
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: opportunity to do some big things and to get whether

584
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: it's people like yoursels or anybody else is listening out there,

585
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: to at least step into the soccer tent, because once

586
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: you get in there, it's warm, it is welcoming. And

587
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: guess what it is American. We do have an American

588
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: soccer culture. It is vibrant, it is passionate, is discerning,

589
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: it is growing, and don't you dare apologize for it

590
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: because it is something that's very very special and unique

591
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: in the soccer world out there. But that has to

592
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: come out and manifest on the play on the field,

593
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to our men's team. Our women's

594
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: team they kick ass as we know and whin all

595
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: the time. The men's team has to step up. And

596
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: this would be a huge, huge moment in this World

597
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: Cup if they were able to get that result against

598
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: England on Black Friday and then parlay that into a

599
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: great result against Iran and get out of the group.

600
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: So we're speaking to Alexei lalas Fox Soccer analyst and

601
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: also a man who really popularized the bright red goatee

602
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: of the nineteen nineties. If I recall, wasn't that you?

603
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: I remember this man, you're rocking that got was like

604
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: that was like a ten out of ten goatee. You

605
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: were not messing around. I feel like I've seen you

606
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: on TV. It's not there anymore. How are things out

607
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: in cutter Man? How's our Qatar? How's it going? You're

608
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: actually in country right now? There's been you know, some

609
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: new stories about there was like a beer band, but

610
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: not really. But how how is it doing? A World Cup? There?

611
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: I can. I can assure you that I have never

612
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: once in the now couple of weeks that I've been here,

613
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: nor the other previous trips that I've taken, had a

614
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: problem finding alcohol. Uh, people believe me, something that doesn't

615
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: surprise me at all going forward. Yeah, but it is

616
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: it is a we have. We have this kick ass

617
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: set when it comes to our Fox soccer set here

618
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: down at what's called the Corniche, which is down on

619
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: the water, the people here have been incredible. It is

620
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: a really really interesting, like you said World Cup in

621
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: that there's this brigadoonish type of experience where everybody is

622
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: in the same place, nobody travels anywhere, all the teams,

623
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: all the stadiums are here and we're gonna We're gonna

624
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: blow it out on Fox. And we have this incredible

625
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: set here that has multiple levels and multiple stages, and

626
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: people come to it like it is part of the

627
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: star of the showdown here and it just augments all

628
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: of the coverage that that we are bringing. And part

629
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: of our job is not just to talk about the soccer,

630
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: but to talk about this country and this culture and

631
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: to make that part of the storytelling that we're doing.

632
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: Am I understanding. By the way, I want all of

633
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: you to watch the US and Alexei and Stu and

634
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 1: all the crew that's out there, Jenny Taft, fantastic job

635
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: they're doing. But also I will be up in Columbus

636
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: for this Ohio State Michigan game, which is going to

637
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: be huge, and my understanding, as a part of our

638
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 1: pregame show, we're actually going to be integrating some of

639
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: you guys. It's my understanding it might not be a

640
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 1: one hundred percent accurate as a part of the World

641
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,919
Speaker 1: Cup to have you guys talking college football and maybe

642
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: a little bit of NFL. Also, so for people out there,

643
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: Alexei who don't know this US men's soccer team, you

644
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 1: mentioned how young they are. You played in the World

645
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: Cup back in nineteen ninety two in the United States,

646
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: the first time that you play in a World Cup

647
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: match as a young guy. It feels like, what first

648
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: part of the question, second aspect here, how much more

649
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: comfortable and better did you play in game two? Having

650
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,439
Speaker 1: just gotten the butterflies in some extent out in that

651
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: first ever World Cup match? Yeah? I mean, look, would

652
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: you realize a dream? There is a moment of ah

653
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: and the sooner you get over it, the better off

654
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: you are going to be when you recognize it's the

655
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: game that you're playing, been played playing all along. Mine

656
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: was way back in the nineteen hundreds before you guys

657
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 1: were born, back back in nineteen ninety four, summer ninety four.

658
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: Like you said, Buck, a lot of hair. Never has

659
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: so much been done with the monoicum of talent and

660
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: a lot of hair, whether it was the goatie or

661
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: the hair on top of my head. I wish I

662
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: could still grow it. I've cleaned up on the outside,

663
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: but I'm still a mess on the inside. But then

664
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: you walk out on that field, and in my case,

665
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 1: at that point, it was actually in Pontiac at the

666
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: Pontiac silverdam Rest in Peace, the Pontiac Silverdome. I grew

667
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: up in Detroit, so fifteen minutes outside of where I

668
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: grew up, walking on that field and realizing a dream. Now,

669
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: this US team has already done that, right, so now

670
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 1: they understand what the World Cup is. Now on Friday,

671
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: when they walk out against against England, it's not just

672
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 1: with the realization that they're representing their country, but it's

673
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: also with the understanding that they're here's a competition here,

674
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: and you got to figure it out very very quickly

675
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: against a very very good team. But look, there's nothing

676
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 1: like it when you walk out on that field, when

677
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: you put your hand over your heart, you put that

678
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: shirt on, you sing that song for me, there is

679
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: nothing else, nothing else like it. And if I could,

680
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: I would, I would do anything to get back in

681
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: all right, Alexei lawis of Fox Soccer, and Alexei, let's

682
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: hope that us, first of all, have a happy Thanksgiving

00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: out there. I know you're abroad right now, and said

684

Speaker 1: pass along the same for us to all the American

685
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,720
Speaker 1: players out there. We're thinking about them and we appreciate

686
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: you joining us. And let's hope we get a w

687
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 1: on Friday. I will actually watch this. This sports competition awesome.

688
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. I love what you

Speaker 1: guys to do it so I do, so keep on

690
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: doing it and make sure that you give me something

691
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: for what I'm on the peloton sweating my ass off, absolutely, sir,

692
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Play. Alexei is a fantastic guy. Buck.

693
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: I told you he listens to the show and he's

694
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: a great American soccer hero. So I remember because I

695
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 1: was playing soccer in high school back back when he

696
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: was on that national team or a writer around then,

697
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: and he was one of the first guys I think

698
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: to really popularize the US men's national team of that era.

699
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: You know, just he was a well known guy as

700
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: men's soccer was becoming more of a thing here. You know,

701
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,720
Speaker 1: this is really I think that was even pre MLS,

702
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 1: or maybe the MLS had just gotten going. I think

703
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: the MLS built out, and I think I said ninety

704
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: two was ninety four. That was the launching point, that's right.

705
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,280
Speaker 1: The MLS was the amount of attention that we had hosting.

706
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: And remember we're hosting to a large extent the World

707
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: Cup in twenty six which is why would ever experience

708
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: these guys get now hopefully could translate four years from

709
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: now when we hosted basically in the United States North

710
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: America does. Yeah, but you know that Argentinean team, which

711
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: is supposed to one of the best in the world,

712
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: they got caught flat footed, folks. They were a little

713
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,479
Speaker 1: slow in the third fourth quarter and Saudi Arabia beat them.

714
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: So I know it would be international shipping clay, but

715
00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: maybe we could get them a little bit of a

716
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: boost a little bit of extra energy to help push them.

717
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: Very well played in the final quarters of their match,

718
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 1: so they wouldn't lose to Saudi Arabia, supposed to be argitude,

719
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: the best of the world. I think I think that

720
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: they could have used some chunk. Maybe the saudiast had

721
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 1: a little chalk. I don't know if it's banned there

722
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: or not, but they probably could use some chalk. This

723
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: is phenomenal stuff friends, It's spelled c hoq. Their herbal

724
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,520

725
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 1: drive to get through your day. Chalk put years into

726
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: researching the writ ingredients for your particular needs. Case and point.

727
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: Men in this country have suffered from a loss of

728
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 1: testosterone down some fifty percent of the last fifty years,

729
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: and women have all these hormonal changes that come from

730
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 1: the difference in diet and the day to day stresses

731
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: of life. Male and female vitality stacks from chalk provide

732

Speaker 1: the country. And what is likely to be the most

752
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: frenzied Thanksgiving since all the way back in twenty nineteen,

753
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: which feels like a very long time ago. This is

754
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: the third Thanksgiving we have had since COVID began, and

755
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: it feels like even for people with broken brains, the

756
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: vast majority of Americans are back to a normal Thanksgiving holiday.

757
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: I just went down during the commercial break to make

758
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: sure that my kids had managed to make it through

759
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: their Thanksgiving Eve football game without anybody getting really severely

760
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: injured or any major fights breaking out. The Travis Boys

761
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: managed to stay healthy travel back to New York City.

762
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 1: Are your kids old enough for they play tackle football yet?

763
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: My sixth grader played official tackle football, but I have

764
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: mandated that they can only play touch in the neighborhood

765
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 1: because my eight year olds playing too. So if you're

766
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: fifteen about to be fifteen year olds tackling the eight

767
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 1: year old, that's a recipe. How do you feel about

768
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: about about the young Travis boys playing like high school

769
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: tackle football? If they want to play, they can play.

770
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 1: I'm not going to stop them from doing. Like I said,

771
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: my sixth grader played first year ever played flag football before,

772
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: but this year in middle school he played tackle football. Now,

773
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: I was against other sixth graders, but buck, as you

774
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: well remember, sometimes six and seventh graders, I should say,

775
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,399
Speaker 1: the kid who hits puberty is a monster out there

776
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 1: on the field. Right. If you hit puberty at twelve

777
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: or thirteen earlier full puberty than other people, you got

778
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: a mustache, you might be six foot tall out there

779
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: compared to a lot of other kids that are like

780
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: five to four, So that was sometimes an issue, you know.

781
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: I at one point my kids said, it's hard to

782
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: tackle that kid. He's got a mustache, Dad, And I

783
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: was like, well, you know, that's a that's an argument

784
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: that you can make when you hit that borderline puberty

785
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: or non puberty age for the for the kids, everybody

786
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: out there who's either played or coached in that age

787
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: range knows exactly what I'm talking about. Um, what was

788
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: the travel for you? Like, by the way, you came

789
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: back from Florida, You're back in New York today. Was

790
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: it frenzied at the airports? I understand it's like kind

791
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: of crazy everywhere right now. Yeah, I was up. I

792
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: was there five am. It was already like long security

793
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: lines and that's pretty much as and I was taking

794
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: the earliest possible flight. So you're gonna see a lot

795
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: of that going on. But I do think now people

796
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 1: are really everybody who I think everybody who was going

797
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 1: to think normally about traveling in the era of post

798
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: COVID America, I think they're there. Maybe some people will

799
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 1: start to chill out a little bit going forward. But look,

800
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: it's it's good because we really haven't had even last Thanksgiving.

801
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: Last Thanksgiving wasn't a normal Thanksgiving, folks. We all remember

802
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 1: there there was the you know, the pen the Winner

803
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 1: of Death and all this stuff, and the Biden administration

804
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: was hammering on how you better get the shot, and

805
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,240
Speaker 1: they had pushed the vaccine mandate, and there were vaccine

806
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: cards and people those vaccine cards the dumbest thing. People

807
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,399
Speaker 1: will look back, historians will look back. They'll be like, wait,

808
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: you did care a little piece of paper that says

809
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: you've got a shot. That doesn't even stop you from

810
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: giving the virus to other people? Any like what it

811
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: was this all about? But it felt pretty normal today

812
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: out there traveling airline attendants did have masks on. However,

813
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: in my flight, the attendants really yeah, I remember those,

814
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: some of those Siberian prison guards. I remember what they

815
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: were like, thirty five thousand feet in the sky. I

816
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: have not forgotten. I have not forgiven. I'm concerned. You

817
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier in the show that this is crazy that

818
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: kids going back to public school in Washington, DC have

819
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,760
Speaker 1: to have a negative COVID test in order to return

820
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 1: to school, And yesterday we played you the audio of

821
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,760
Speaker 1: doctor Fauci saying you should take a COVID test before

822
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 1: you go to your Thanksgiving dinner, and doctor job led

823
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 1: and said, if you get the COVID booster, you won't

824
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: die of COVID. Then Washington Post Today, to their credit,

825
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: has an article up saying, actually, nearly sixty percent of

826
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: people dying with COVID have had either the cod shots

827
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: or COVID boosters. But I'm concerned. You know, when you

828
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: look at Los Angeles and they're talking about bringing masks back,

829
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: that a lot of you out there listening to us

830
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,720
Speaker 1: in blue cities, even if you're in a red state,

831
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,919
Speaker 1: may have things to worry about if the numbers start

832
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: to tick up on COVID. And certainly, what we're seeing

833
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: unfortunately back, especially for young kids, is a lot of

834
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: them were so isolated from other kids that they didn't

835
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,839
Speaker 1: get the usual viruses and illnesses that young kids. I mean,

836
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: that's a phrase snot nosed kid for a reason. There's

837
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: almost always if you've got young kids, a little cold

838
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: or a little virus that they're working through to develop

839
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: their immune systems. And unfortunately, what you're seeing so far

840
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: this early part as we moved towards the winter, is

841
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: a lot of those kids are getting RSV or they're

842
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 1: getting the flu, and that's actually more dangerous, unfortunately to

843
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: truly young children than COVID has been. And the way

844
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,840
Speaker 1: we treated them for COVID made them more likely to

845
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: get them more serious illness. And there's now been a

846
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: run on a bunch of medications and abiotics for children.

847
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: I think they're they're even starting to report on a

848
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: shortage of children's tailing all. If I saw that, right,

849
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: I saw that. I saw Megan McCain tweet that out

850
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 1: earlier today that it's hard to find this is. I'll

851
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 1: just note if we do have a really bad upper

852
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: respiratory virus season that affects children, and so across the

853
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,319
Speaker 1: board now flew an RSV and COVID, all these things.

854
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 1: They're not gonna want to tell you this until next summer,

855
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: but eventually it will come out that not allowing children

856
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 1: to live normal lives and be exposed to the normal

857
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 1: upper respiratory infections that they come into contact with on

858
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: a regular basis made them effectively short term immunocompromise. I mean,

859
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: I do believe that that will eventually come out not

860
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: not immunocompromise in a severe way, but that they just

861
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: didn't have immunity against some of these things. So they're

862
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: getting hit particularly hard because of the way that we

863
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: separated children, didn't let them live their lives, kept them away.

864
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: You know, we gotta remember there are some people we

865
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: don't hear about this anymore. There's some people who do

866
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: them let their kids see other kids for two years,

867
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 1: two years, you know, and they happen to live you know,

868
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,439
Speaker 1: New York, DC, LA, few other places. But they were

869
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: keeping the kids locked away, almost like they're trying to

870
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: have them live in a bubble. And they were the

871
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 1: same people who took pictures of their kids getting COVID

872
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,280
Speaker 1: shots that were completely worthless and put it on social

873
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: media to be social justice warriors and brag about about that.

874
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: I gotta correct something I said earlier in the Showbuck

875
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: And this is maybe a major major flaw in our

876
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: holiday power rankings. Neither one of us ranked New Year's Eve.

877
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 1: Oh I am anti New Year's Eve. So you considered

878
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:31,359
Speaker 1: and rejected ranking, sir, sir, we have a whole conversation.

879
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve is the most stressful, overrated annoying holiday.

880
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: I will take National Pancake Day over New Year's Eve.

881
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: I will find, like, you know, those random holidays that

882
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: they make. You're saying this though, even this surprises me

883
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,760
Speaker 1: because you've been a single guy for a long time,

884
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 1: so you could theoretically have celebrated New Year's Eve. Now,

885
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: for parents like me, I'm at that day. I've been

886
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 1: in several different years where I've been like, hey, let

887
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: me try to trick my kids. Will watch the New

888
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: Year's ball drop from Times Square on the Eastern time zone.

889
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: I can get my kids to go to bed earlier.

890
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: Let me tell you a little little little dispatches from recently.

891
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 1: You know, single man life HW now engaged obviously, so

892
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: I'm out of it. I'm out of that game, thank god.

893
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 1: But what it used to be like every year for

894
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 1: my you know, adult life eighteen to thirty nine. You

895
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: know it's New Year's Eve? Okay, you know, how do

896
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:27,879
Speaker 1: we make this the most amazing night ever? And then

897
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: you go out and ever get super drunk. They try

898
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: to go to as many parties as they can, and

899
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: it's never really what you wanted to be. Then you

900
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: get a little older, right, That's that's in your twenties,

901
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: maybe in your thirties, it's like, oh, there's all these

902
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: parties and going all these parties, and you know you're

903
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: gonna have that moment where like you meet the beautiful stranger,

904
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: you make out at midnight, and you get married and

905
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: have five beautiful kids. It doesn't work that way. Everyone's like,

906
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm so drunk, you know. They're all like stumbling over

907
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: each other. There's always someone who's yelling like I'm stuck

908
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: in line, I can't get in, and everyone's all upset.

909
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,839
Speaker 1: It's a total mess. And then you get a little

910
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: older and you're like, you know what, I'm not really

911
00:47:58,080 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 1: gonna do this New Year's Eve thing anymore. I'm not

912
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: gonna do it. And then about three weeks before it's

913
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve, maybe a month before, people start texting you, hey,

914
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna do something right, and the peer pressure starts

915
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 1: getting ratcheted up. You try to opt out, it gets

916
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: ratcheted up, and then all of a sudden you're like, Okay, well,

917
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: I guess I'll go to you know, that super expensive

918
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: restaurant where they're gonna give me a prefixed menu with

919
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: the worst cheapest food they have and the worst service imaginable,

920
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,240
Speaker 1: and they're gonna usher us in like cattle and usher

921
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 1: us out in scheduled seating, and the restaurant could care

922
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: less about the whole thing. And you're in for like

923
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: I mean, in New York City, Clay, a crappy restaurant's

924
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: gonna cost you two hundred dollars on New Year's Eve

925
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 1: for person. I mean, you go to a hotel in Miami.

926
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: I've been in Miami last few New Year's Eves. You

927
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,280
Speaker 1: go to like a place that's just okay, five hundred

928
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: bucks a person on New Year's Eve. It's crazy. I

929
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,399
Speaker 1: hate it. It's a great night for restaurants. I would

930
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:53,399
Speaker 1: argue with you that New Year's Eve heading into New

931
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 1: Year's itself, and I'm curious if you would agree with

932
00:48:55,760 --> 00:49:00,319
Speaker 1: this number one night for women to be dressed up

933
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:02,879
Speaker 1: in fancy dresses, ready to go out have a great

934
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: time that ends with them crying. I can't tell you

935
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: the number of times. I can't tell anybody the number

936
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: of times that I have either been with or been

937
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 1: out on New Year's Eve. Everybody's in a great food,

938
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: especially if you're single twenties who look like they're at

939
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: their their prom or something that they're they're sitting outside

940
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: of the booming music at somesive party and the mascaras right,

941
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,399
Speaker 1: they're like, I just don't understand why he doesn't do that.

942
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 1: It is it is the number one night for girls

943
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: to cry about their boyfriends or their significant others, or

944
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: the guy that they thought was gonna be their boyfriend

945
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: that it didn't work out. I can't tell you the

946
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 1: number of times they're often you know, they got the

947
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: fancy shoes that they're just done with, they got them

948
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 1: in their hand. To your point, mascara running down the cheeks,

949
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: fancy dressed and the heels broken on the shoes, so

950
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 1: they're walking around barefoot. Yet hair is a wreck. It

951
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 1: inevitably starts to rain. It is like the number one

952
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 1: night for so for single women tiers way, there's not

953
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 1: even a close second. I think, so, like, how are

954
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 1: you not you're coming over to my side on this

955
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 1: one chief, which is New Year's Eve is the worst holiday? Well, no,

956
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:20,760
Speaker 1: I was. I mean I was thinking I didn't even

957
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: think about New Year's Eve in my rankings. But I

958
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: was like, I thought, maybe you, as a long term

959
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 1: single guy might have it in your top five. No, no, no,

960
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 1: it's it's very Uh, it's not it's not good. And honestly,

961
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 1: if there's one, you know, if there's one person you

962
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: wanted to the midnight kiss with, you know, you just

963
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 1: want to hang out with that person, You're gonna wait

964
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: till midnight. So why are you going to some big party?

965
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 1: I think the whole thing is, uh, it's a scam.

966
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was made up to sell

967
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:48,360
Speaker 1: Hallmark cards or something. Someone tell me what the conspiracy

968
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 1: is behind it. But I think New Year's Eve is

969
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 1: a scam and a half. And look, how do you

970
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: have a great New Year's Eve? Hang out with the

971
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: people that you like the most, your family, your friends, whatever,

972
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: in a mellow setting. Maybe have a glass of champagna

973
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 1: or you know, a glass of whiskey or something, have

974
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: a good meal, watch the ball drop on TV, and

975
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: go great. Tomorrow's January first, let's get after it. Will

976
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: I will tell a lot of guys out there listening,

977
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 1: and some women as well. The college football playoff games

978
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: are on New Year's Eve tonight this year, so on

979
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 1: December thirty first, starting about four o'clock Eastern, all the

980
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: way up through the official New Year there right now.

981
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,319
Speaker 1: I've got guys panicked right now because they hadn't done

982
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: the math in their head and they got wives or

983
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:36,760
Speaker 1: they got girlfriends, and they were supposed to plan something,

984
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 1: and now all they want to do is just sit back,

985
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: have a couple of beers watch college football playoff direct

986
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 1: overlap with New Year's Eve. But they tried to brand

987
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,360
Speaker 1: this when they expanded to the four team college Football Playoff,

988
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: they said, hey, we're gonna make New Year's Eve synonymous

989
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: with college football biggest disaster schedule ever because what they

990
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 1: didn't realize was a lot of people have big plans

991
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: and they created I think more fights are relating to

992
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: sports over these games going on head to head than

993
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: they ever contemplated with My My thing is I do

994
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 1: love eating out and I love going that. That's my

995
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 1: way of experiencing different you know, cities and towns all

996
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 1: across America. I just want to what's the best food

997
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: they've got here? So I love going out to eat.

998
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: And New Year's Eve is literally the worst night of

999
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 1: the year to go out to eat. It is. It

1000
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,919
Speaker 1: is the worst night you were getting everything they're they're

1001
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 1: doing everywhere As a prefixed men. I never want a

1002
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: prefix menu. I'm at a restaurant. If I was going

1003
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,359
Speaker 1: to prepare and only have one different way to one

1004
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: set of food, I would do it at home. They

1005
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,879
Speaker 1: triple charge you in most places, so for eating out,

1006
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: it's the worst night. And it's just amateur night. Man.

1007
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's like the best nights you have are

1008
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 1: the ones you're not trying to have the best night.

1009
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 1: And New Year's Eve it concentrates all that, Oh what

00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,720
Speaker 1: that's why all the girls buck end up crying outside

1014
00:52:56,719 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 1: because they built it up into a momentous occasion and stand,

1015
