22
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: of close now you would think that. I don't know.

23
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: It went by very very quickly. So I'm happy that

24
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: people have a day off to contemplate. It's interesting. We

25
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: could think of the history of labor Day another time,

26
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: perhaps in the meantime, mister Clay, Actually, why don't you

27
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: tell everybody we've got going on. It's third hour before

Speaker 1: or whatever. Yeah, they're they're heading to the Jersey shore

31
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: right now. They don't care.

32
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 2: It's a good time to break news if you have

33
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 2: any negative news out there that you just want to

34
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 2: dump in there. Tons of college football games going on,

35
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: everybody's bailing. I've been on the road for the last

36
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: month so with the book and everything else, and so

37
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: I'm just excited to be home. I'm going to go

38
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: to the Virginia Tennessee game in Nashville tomorrow. I'm going

39
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: to go to a high school football game tonight. Basically

40
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: the next decade of my life, I'm gonna be going

41
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: to high school football games now, because my boys are

42
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: getting to those ages where they're playing high school football.

43
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: And everything else. You know, I played a lot of

44
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: different sports. You and I actually played similar sports. Gromen,

45
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: You played soccer, I played soccer. Were you a tennis guy?

46
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: I was really into tennis whenever on a team. I

47
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: played baseball, I played basketball. I played, but by high

48
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: school I was a soccer player. I played basketball too,

49
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: until my dream of being able to dunk easily. One

50
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: day that came crashing down about the eighth grade, when

51
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: I realized that despite all the calf raises I could do,

52
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: you know, all the exercises for the gas string.

53
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: Shoes, the Jimmy remember Jimmy on Seinfeld who had like

54
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: the jumping shoes.

55
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: Remember remember those shoes that they had.

56
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: There were pumps that you used to see. Thee Brown

57
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 2: like won the slam dunk contest with the Reebok pumps.

58
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: That's right. The slam dunk contest was a cultural phenomenon

59
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: for a while. I remember this back in the day

60
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: with Michael Jordan's Spud Webb. I remember him. He was

61
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: I think five eight, and he won it one year,

62
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: that's right. So I remember, and I was like, I'm

63
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: tall more than five eight. I'm in the eighth grade

64
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: or ninth grade, like maybe I can dunk. It turned

65
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: out no, no, I was. I had to be pleased

66
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: with just just hitting the bottom of the net with

67
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: my hand. That was as close as I got, which

68
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: no one's impressed.

69
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: What percentage of men do you think can dunk a basketball? Oh, man, Well,

70
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 2: depends on what age.

71
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: I mean, like.

72
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: Peak age, right, like twenty three or twenty four, right

73
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: like when you are before you have gone off the

74
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 2: deep end of not being super athletic. Like if you

75
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: can't dunk when you're twenty three or twenty four, you

76
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: probably are never going to be able to dunk a basketball.

77
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 2: So whatever like peak athletic age.

78
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: You want to point. We looked up earlier in the

79
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: week and I think it's three percent of men are

80
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: six foot two or above. Yes, so a six foot

81
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: three or six foot four guy, I think is in

82
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: pretty good you know, at the pretty decent likelihood that

83
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: they would be able to but not all of them

84
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: would be able to. Very few people below that height,

85
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: I would argue, are going to be able to dunk easily.

86
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: So I would think it's probably one percent. I think

87
00:03:59,440 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: one percent.

88
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: The Zach number that I was going to go with

89
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: one percent of Americans or you know men in general

90
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: probably around the world can dunk a basketball.

91
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's maybe.

92
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: The rarest athletic trait that everybody would aspire to and

93
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: almost no one can do. Right, Like, if you play golf,

94
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: you could hit a hole in one. Even if you're

95
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: a really bad golfer, you can go out and hit

96
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: a bunch of three pointers. I think dunking of basketball

97
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 2: is the rarest athletic trait that everybody.

98
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: Would love to be able to do, and almost no

99
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: one can to this day. I have never I have

100
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: never dunk, although if you didn't, I think there's a

101
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: video of Tom Segura, who's a very very talented comedian.

102
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: He was on Joe Rogan recently and he he he's

103
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: made jokes about this too. But I somehow in my

104
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: Twitter feed, I think it was I saw this video

105
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: he maybe a year ago on a bet, tried to

106
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: dunk and manage to like snap his pitteller tendon and

107
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: also break his arm at the same time. I mean

108
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: it was real. He really hurt himself. So this is

109
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: the way of saying for all of us, all of

110
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: us weekend warriors out there, if you're gonna be playing golf.

111
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: I don't think we have to worry too much about you.

112
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna be playing a little pick up basketball,

113
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: if you haven't jumped, and you haven't stretched your hammis,

114
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: your hamstrings for uh, you know, a year or two,

115
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: go slow out there.

116
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: Kevin Hart, did you see, speaking of comedians, did you

117
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: see he put himself in a wheelchair trying to win

118
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: a race against a former NFL player, like a forty

119
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,679
Speaker 2: yard dash, And I was gonna say, I'm dunked.

120
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: But it's been off a trampoline.

121
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 2: Back in the day, sometimes you would put a trance,

122
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: probably very dangerous, but you would put a trampoline underneath

123
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: a you know, like the big trampolines directly underneath a

124
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: basketball hoop, and you could then try to dunk on

125
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 2: each other those old school Now they have the nets

126
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 2: that surround the trampolines. You lived in New York, did

127
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 2: you ever get on one of those like trampolines back

128
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 2: in the day, like, like in the eighties and the

129
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 2: early nineties, it was a big deal to have a

130
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: tramp in your backyard.

131
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: Do you remember that? Oh? Absolutely absolutely. I knew people,

132
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: and I knew people who definitely lost a front teeth,

133
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: a front tooth or two from getting a little too

134
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: I would just.

135
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 2: Get bounced off the trampoline all the time. People would

136
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 2: fall through the springs. Now they have they put the

137
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: netting around it, but they used to put them underneath

138
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 2: basketball rims, and so you could bounce. That's how you

139
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: would dunk. And so that's the only experience that I've

140
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: ever gotten to have hanging on a basketball. And I

141
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: was gonna ask you though, this was long after saying

142
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: I've never played a down of football. That's the one

143
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 2: sport that I've really never I tried even to throw

144
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: around the lacross ball a little bit back in the day.

145
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: I'm from the Northeast, very common, but I was not good.

146
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: But I've never tried at football. Do your sons or

147
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: is there just one son so far play football? Is

148
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: that right?

149
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 2: Well, I've got one in one in flag football, so

150
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 2: I think that kind of counts.

151
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: But it's, you know, young kids. We didn't allow him

152
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: to play until sixth grade tackle football. But does every

153
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: kid does every sixth grader? I'm just I asked this, honestly,

154
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: do they all out wanting to be the quarterback? And

155
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: then over time they're like, oh, I'll be a tight

156
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: end or a wide receiver, you know what I mean.

157
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: I feel like more so than any other sport, unless

158
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: maybe I guess you're a pitcher. That's a very specific thing.

159
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: But you know, if you get into it and you

160
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: want to be a quarterback, that's like a very specific thing.

161
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: And if you can't be the quarterback on the team,

162
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: do you want to be like a the end or whatever?

163
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: I wonder.

164
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: So I think one size dictates very often where you

165
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: get placed early on. So my twelve year old is

166
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: a wide receiver and a cornerback in his seventh grade football.

167
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 2: My eight year old is and it's flag football, so

168
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: everybody goes out and everybody can catch, but more of

169
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: a wide receiver too. And they I think, at least

170
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: in their experience, they want to play wide receiver more

171
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: than they want to play any other position. Maybe running

172
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: back a little bit as well.

173
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: But it is uh.

174
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: I'll tell you Buck, Like, I don't know, your high

175
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: school didn't have a high school football team right in

176
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: New York, which is not uncommon.

177
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: Oh, my high school did not even have a football team. Yeah,

178
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: that's not uncommon in New York City at all. A

179
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: lot of schools don't have a football team. My high

180
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,119
Speaker 1: school did not either. It was an academic high school,

181
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: which is very rare in the South, Like we were

182
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: the only public high school I think in the whole

183
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: city of Nashville. He didn't have a team.

184
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: So I didn't spend a lot of time going to

185
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: high school football games. And now my boys are getting

186
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: into that age. It's really pretty incredible. In the South,

187
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: high school football on a Friday night is a monster deal,

188
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 2: and I know all over the country it's a big deal.

189
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: I just never experienced it. Well. I love that show.

190
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: I liked the movie. Although the movie was a little

191
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: grim to be honest, That Lights Friday Lights. It was

192
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: a little there was like nothing was allowed to be funny.

193
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: There was no levity in the whole movie. But it

194
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: was well executed. I think it's a Peter Berg movie,

195
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: who also did the Lone Survivor movie and did I

196
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: believe he did The Kingdom as well, which has got

197
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: Jamie Fox in it. But a show Friday Night Lights,

198
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: it didn't get the big audiences that they had hoped

199
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: on NBC I think at the time. But I was

200
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,839
Speaker 1: part of that crew of people that loved that show.

201
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: I thought that show was phenomenal.

202
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if you would sign on to this.

203
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: I'm curious how many people in our audience would. I

204
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 2: think Friday Night Lights is the best broadcast drama broadcast.

205
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: That means everybody gets it for free. It's on ABC, NBCCBS, Fox.

206
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 2: I'm taking out like the HBO showtimes streaming all of that.

207
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 2: I think Friday Night Lights is the best broadcast drama

208
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: in the history of television. I don't think there has ever.

209
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: Been a swing. It's a big swing.

210
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 2: But if I think about it, you guys out there

211
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: listening can think about it too. Name me a better

212
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 2: show that we could all watch for free on television

213
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: than Friday Night Lights. I think it's the best broadcast

214
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: television show of all time. And the challenge for it

215
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: buck was and I eventually got my wife watching it.

216
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if Carrie's watched it. A lot of

217
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 2: women who are not sports fans didn't want to watch

218
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: it because they were like, oh, it's just a football show,

219
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 2: and a lot of men didn't want to watch it

220
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: initially because it was a drama. Really, it's the story

221
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 2: of a marriage. Right, Coach Taylor and Tammy his wife,

222
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: the Connie Britten, characters who are both phenomenal in the

223
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: Miles Chandler. Is that the guy's name, right, Yeah, they

224
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 2: are both incredible. It's really just the story of a marriage.

225
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 2: If you have not watched it and you are listening

226
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: to us right now and you want something wholesome that

227
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 2: your entire family could sit down and watch, I think

228
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: it's the best broadcast drama in the history of free television.

229
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 2: I don't think anything's ever been better. What is the

230
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: show for this Labor Day weekend? Okay, let's do this

231
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 2: clay before we go here.

232
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: A show and a book that you would be your

233
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: top as people are going into their holiday weekend right

234
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: now from your end. A show that you think people

235
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: and like obviously not you know, the most obvious thing,

236
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: or like a Breaking Bad. We all know Breaking Bad.

237
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: Some people think that best show of all time. But

238
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: a show that you've seen relatively recently and a book

239
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: that you've read relatively recently that you would recommend to

240
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: people out there for the holiday weekend if they're looking

241
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: for one.

242
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a or movie or movie show or movie.

243
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: We'll make it a little broader. The show I would

244
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: just people have heard me talk about this. I'll think

245
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 2: about the book for a second. The show I would

246
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: go with is The Righteous Gemstones. This is very different

247
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 2: from Friday Night Lights, by the way, so let me

248
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 2: give you two angles. Friday Night Lights wholesome. I guarantee

249
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 2: that you will like it, by and large, no matter.

250
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: It's not political in any way.

251
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: Righteous Gymstones is outrageously, outrageously provocatively.

252
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: Funny, but it is not appropriate for like a ten

253
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 2: year old. You could watch Friday Night Lights with a

254
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 2: ten year old? What about you? What would your picks

255
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: be on television.

256
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: I'm always a big proponent for adults, and it's definitely

257
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: an adults only show. Peaky Blinders for anybody who hasn't

258
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: seen it, I still haven't seen it. I know you've been,

259
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: you've been. You and my older brother Mason. Every time

260
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: I see him and we start talking about shows, because

261
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: you know that's what brothers. We'll talk about stuff like that.

262
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, how have you not watched it? Always says

263
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: he's busy, and I'm like, what does that mean? I'm

264
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: not busy? Like it's a great show. But he'll he'll

265
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: get to it at some point and then so I

266
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: would throw that one out there for everybody carry. And

267
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: I have really loved Outlander, which is again an adult

268
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: that's not for the whole family. It's an adult's only show.

269
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: But if you like Scotland, it's uh, it's a whole

270
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: you know, there's a whole thing there. And then for books,

271
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: oh man, I'm trying to think of something that I

272
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: gave everyone. Shadow divers was one of my res and

273
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: uh uh endurance the Shackleton thing, which you read, which

274
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: I appreciate, read it. That is phenomenal. That is a

275
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: great book. It'll make you feel. I love reading books.

276
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: This is maybe just me that make me realize what

277
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 2: a total what I am, because I think people have

278
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 2: this sense like if you're busy out there.

279
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: I think it's important.

280
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 2: This is why I gave everybody the Lewis and Clark

281
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: Expedition on Dawned Courage, because I think it's important to

282
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: recognize how much more challenging circumstances people in our modern

283
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 2: history have come through and survived than anything that we

284
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 2: deal with today. Because I think there's this obsession with

285
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 2: believing that everything that happens right now is the worst

286
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 2: or the biggest or the most important. Most of the

287
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 2: time it isn't. And that's why historical UH study teaches you.

288
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: I think a lot of I would say humbleness about

289
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: trying to contextualize your current state. By the way, my

290
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 2: wife just weight in buck, she says. She agrees with me.

291
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 2: Friday Night Lights best show on broadcast TV ever nine

292
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 2: O two one zero, she says, is second place. So

293
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 2: I don't know if that just if a lot of

294
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 2: people are like buying in.

295
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: As soon as she says this strong, I encourage it

296
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: was gone. I I back her up on those are

297
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: strong choices. I don't know if not, it'll be my

298
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: number two slot. But for cast TV, I think it's

299
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: very handice to be an hour long drama. That's the category.

300
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: So people out there are like, what about Seinfeld, what

301
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 2: about Friends? No? No, I'm talking about broadcast drama that

302
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 2: everybody could watch for free, not streaming, not HBO, not Showtime,

303
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: Because I know I'm getting deluged already with people like

304
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 2: what about Sopranos HBO show? I'm talking about you could

305
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 2: watch it for free on television, not cable, just regular

306
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 2: broadcast television.

307
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: I'll come back and I'll give a a a book recommendation.

308
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: He'll also look at some of your e VIP emails.

309
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: Clay's gonna gi a book as well. We haven't done books.

310
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: We'll talk books for the Labor Day weekend that we

311
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: guarantee if you give a shot to including American playbook

312
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: of course, for my partner here, so he doesn't have

313
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: to sell it. I'll tell everybody you will, of course

314
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: enjoy American playbooks. So I think that has to be

315
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: Clay's pick. But we'll give you some other ones. If

316
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: you want something in the fiction realm maybe as well,

317
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: and we can we can get into that. But you

318
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: know it's I'll tell you this. I have never spent

319
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: substantial time over a weekend along weekend reading a book

320
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: and felt like it was not a good waste, a

321
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: good usage of time. Felt like it was a waste

322
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: of time. You know, we live in a digital age.

323
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: The way we pay our bills, the way we register

324
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: for one thing or another, the way we make our

325
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: online purchases. So do cyber hackers. These are the bad

326
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: guys who hide behind their keyboards and screens, working overtime

327
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: to cause a data breach or put software on your computer,

328
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: all in an attempt to get a hold of your data.

329
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: When they do, they're able to pretend to be you,

330
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: but direct all the money to themselves. You need to

331

00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: holiday weekends here pretty soon, so that's that's always a

395
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: good thing. We're talking about books. We're having a little

396
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: bit of Friday fun here because we're you know, it's

397
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: third hour and we already talked about how all of

398
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: a sudden you realize journalism is a narrative written by

399
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: people who have jobs to write the narrative because news

400
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: doesn't really break. The only news that breaks Friday of

401
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: Labor Day weekend is, yeah, you know, something like if

402
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: maybe they found out that Joe Biden got like a

403
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: five or ten million dollars wire transfer from one of

404
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: Hunter's LLC's, like something like that. That didn't happen, by

405
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: the way, or would be big news, but something like

406
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: that they might try to drop on a Friday. But

407
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: other than that, you're not gonna see a lot of

408
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: a lot of new news happening a little new, big,

409
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: big things on the immediate horizon. So that means we're

410
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: talking books, we're talking movies, we're talking what you're gonna

411
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: be doing over labor day weekends, some of that good stuff.

412
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: And Clay, what were your Do you give the book reres?

413
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 2: You just gave a book. I gave the two book RECs.

414
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 2: Those are page turners, those are fiction works. I tweeted

415
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 2: that out as well. If you just type in if

416
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 2: you're curious page turner at Clay Travis, you'll see those

417
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: two titles.

418
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: I got them in a bookstore. Are you like me?

419
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 2: I know you are, in fact, cause we've talked about this.

420
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: I don't know on air off air, at least in

421
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 2: this respect. I'm terrified of being stuck on a plane

422
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 2: without something to reach.

423
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: I always I bring a kindle and a hard copy book,

424
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: just because I'm such a weirdo about I need to

425
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: be able to read if I'm on that plane. So

426
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: I want because it's not because I mean I do

427
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: read kindle, but sometimes it like freezes or the power

428
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: goes out, and so that's how I have to have

429
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 1: a backup book ready on the plane because otherwise I

430
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: get anxious.

431
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 2: I go on Southwest Airlines a lot because it's the

432
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: most common airline in Nashville.

433
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: So yes, I'm on those flights all the time. If

434
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: you're like, I don't Clay Travis fly southw Yes, I

435
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: fly Southwest all the time.

436
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: And there's no plugs for your phone. You can't charge

437
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 2: a phone on a Southwest Airlines flight. I have been

438
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 2: on planes before. I'm sure many of you have too.

439
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 2: It's one thing if you're worried about your phone running

440
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 2: out and you don't have a charger. It's another thing

441
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 2: when there is no charger opportunity. So I have been

442
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 2: terrified four years of my phone dying and not having

443
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 2: So I make fun like some people have seen me,

444
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 2: probably listening to us right now, Like I will walk

445
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 2: on with like eight newspapers.

446
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I look like a newspaper delivery man.

447
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 2: And then I'll also have hard copy books in case

448
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 2: I run through all of my reading material. And that's

449
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 2: how I ended up. I was like, man, I'm everything

450
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 2: so serious in the world. I just want a couple

451
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 2: of page turners, little murder mystery action and they were fabulous.

452
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: I loved them. So I have a book since you

453
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: like that genre, and I'm sure these days having written

454
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: your nonfiction book, I mean this one thing that I

455
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: tell myself is I'm already stacking up things that I

456
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 1: can just read for fun as a enticement to finish

457
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: the drafting of my book, which has got a few

458
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: more months inve writing. But I am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes.

459
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how many of you know this book. No,

460
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: it's a war on terror genre. It may be written

461
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: out of I think it was maybe fifteen years ago,

462
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: ten fifteen years ago was published. Uh. It is one

463
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: of the best and most tightly written. It's the guy

464
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: who did the movie I think he's a screenwriter for

465
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 1: the movie Payback with Mel Gibson as well. But he

466
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: also remember that movie. Yeah, yeah, he wrote this novel

467
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: and it is it is excellent. It is an excellent novel.

468
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: It's it's spy thriller stuff and it's really good. So

469
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: I am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes. If you want that,

470
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: you know that kind of Jack Jack Carr brad Thor genre,

471
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: but something a little bit different, because I think our

472
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 1: audience that likes that genre. It's probably written, I mean

473
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: read all the Jack car books, and maybe, as I've read,

474
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: if you're a brad thor Jack Carr person, Jack's a

475
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,719
Speaker 1: friend of ours, so we're obviously big Jack car fans.

476
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: And I've got his Only the Dead, right, it's in

477
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: my Going to Get to Pile. I've got my going

478
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 1: to Get to Pile with only the Dead in it.

479
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: For those who want something a little different that doesn't involve,

480
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: you know, shooting espionage stuff like that, I think either

481
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: The Billion Dollar Whale or Bad Blood by John CARRIERU.

482
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: Bad Blood's about their nos. Billion Dollar Whale is about

483
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 1: Joe Low the one MDB fraud show. Yeah, those are both.

484
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: The way that both of those frauds we were pulled

485
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,479
Speaker 1: off is true page turner kind of stuff, and so

486
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: those would be the ones that immediately come to mind

487
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: for me.

488
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 2: I've read Bad Blood. That is really good for people

489
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 2: out there. I think that came out of like a

490
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 2: New Yorker article that somebody wrote and turned into.

491
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: John Kerry with the Wall Street Journal. Actually he was

492
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: a Wall Street Journal reporter who wrote a series he

493
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: I mean, it's amazing he didn't just write about this,

494
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: he it's written about in the book. They came after

495
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: him for writing Yeah, right, the fraudsters. Elizabeth Holmes is

496
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: now getting eleven years I think in federal prison, and

497
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 1: I think she's starting her sentence pretty soon. I think

498
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: she's already turned herself and he's already in right. Yeah,

499
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: she's got eleven year federal sentence. She got one of

500
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: the biggest, baddest law firms out there to sit down

501
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: at the Wall Street Journal and basically threaten lost try

502
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: to refute all of his reporting about the fake, fake

503
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: blood machines that she was alleged to have created. It's

504
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: it's a fabulous read, you know, to the Wall Street

505
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 1: Journal's credit. Didn't didn't back down an inch on this one.

506
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it helps to be backed by

507
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: the Murdochs and you know, have big boy funds to

508
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: play with.

509
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 2: But remember Murdoch himself lost hundreds of millions of dollars

510
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 2: in that investment. He was one of the top investors

511
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 2: for Elizabeth Aarno for their.

512
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: Nos' it's a phenomenal, phenomenal book I have to tell you,

513
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 1: and then I on my to read there's so many

516
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: A Distant Mirror. Barbara Tuckman wrote The Guns of August,

517
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: which is one of the most famous World War One histories.

518
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: So I haven't read A Distant Mirror yet, but that's

523
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 3: Hey, good afternoon, guys. It's so great to talk to

524
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 3: you both. I've talked to you individually on your other shows,

525
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 3: and you guys are filling in the legend and doing

526
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 3: a fantastic job. I wanted to bring up The Friday

527
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 3: Night Lights because I lived down here in Austin and

528
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 3: Michael Waxman, who was the executive producer of that show,

529
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 3: we used to rodeo with his daughters and my daughters

530
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 3: were actually extras on that show.

531
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

532
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 3: That show was really and that was really good. But

533
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 3: then you brought up twenty four, which was another great

534
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 3: show that both my wife and I really loved and

535
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 3: enjoyed quite.

536
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 2: A bit, I think, and I'm not kidding about this.

537
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 2: Thank you for the call. And they filmed all of

538
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: Friday Night Lights in Austin. We are number one in Austin.

539
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 2: I would imagine that a lot of you who are

540
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: listening here, if you were in Austin around that era,

541
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 2: remember there being streets and roads shut down because filming

542
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 2: was going on in that area. If you, I mean,

543
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 2: I cannot impress upon you enough how good of a

544
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 2: show Friday Night Lights is. If you have not watched it,

545
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 2: even if you're not a diehard sports fan, buck, you're

546
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 2: not like a diehard football fan, it's just that good

547
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 2: of a show. Oh.

548
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: Absolutely, It's super well written. It's very well acted. The

549
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: characters are really there's only one or two instances where

550
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: you have somebody who's clearly in his mid thirties playing

551
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: a high school kid, which I always think it's like,

552
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: why do they do this, Like can't they get an

553
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 1: actor or actress who's, you know, in their twenties to

554
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: play the eighteen year old or the sixteen year old

555
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be. There's only one or two

556
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: actors who I think look like, you know, they would

557
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: have kids of their own who are in Friday Night Lights.

558
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: For the most part, it's very well cast. It's a

559
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: it's an excellent, excellent show, and I'm trying to think

560
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: of other broadcast shows. It's funny, I watched so little

561
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: broadcast TV that I can't even really think off the

562
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: top of my head of anything that's a drama like

563
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: that that would go and that, Like I found out recently,

564
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: there's a Navy Seal TV show. I didn't even know

565
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: about this, and I tend to watch a lot of

566
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: that stuff. I think it was NBC or ABC. So

567
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: there are whole things that go on that get tens

568
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars spent on them that I have

569
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: absolutely no idea. Uh so we've got we've got a

570
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: stacked list here at calls. Let's see what we got

571
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: from Jason in Amarillo, Texas. Jason, what's going on?

572
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 4: Oh? Not much, guys. Hope you will do it well.

573
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 4: Hope you'll have a good weekend.

574
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: Thank you, Sure you too, Thank you.

575
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 4: I got a couple of books I recommend. The first

576
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 4: one is called Hire of the Summer Moon.

577
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 2: Isn't that a movie, by the way, for people out

578
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 2: there who may not be readers? Isn't that a movie

579
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,959
Speaker 2: that's coming out soon in theaters? Or am I crazy?

580
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 4: I do not know, sir, I all I know it.

581
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 4: It's a book written about ten or fifteen years ago.

582
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 4: I cannot remember the man who wrote his name, but

583
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 4: it's just about the rise and fall of the Commanding

584
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 4: Indian tribe, all the constant warfare down in Texas. Clay,

585
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 4: I think you're a history guy, so you probably know

586
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 4: about cynthy Ann Parker and Kwana Parker or stuff like that.

587
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 4: At least I think a lot of people in Texas

588
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 4: know about them, and so very good book, straight down

589
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 4: the middle, not bias towards one side or.

590
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: Here, Jason, I'll tell you I have that on my

591
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: not in my immediate to read, but I already owned

592
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: that book. So that's a book that I've been meaning

593
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: to get to.

594
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 3: Oh.

595
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 4: I highly recommend it. I've read it Twice's.

596
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 2: Ce Gwyn by the way, as the author of that book.

597
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 2: I have not read it. I would love to read it.

598
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 2: And I'm trying to look right now and see am

599
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 2: I crazy or are they making a movie about that?

600
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 2: And I can't tell right now, So but anyway, keep going.

601
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 2: You had a couple of recommendations you wanted to give us.

602
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 4: Ah, I actually say, you can actually see that guy Fc.

603
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 4: Gwynn on Joe Rogan's podcast and he talks about the book,

604
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 4: so as a couple of years ago he did that.

605
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 4: But the second book is called on Desperate Ground. I

606
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 4: think if the guy wrote, his name is Hampton Sides,

607
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 4: I guess a few years old, just about the first

608
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 4: Marine Division during the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir. Very

609
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 4: good book. Read it twice as well, So I highly

610
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 4: recommend that.

611
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: Oh that sounds great. I've got I'm looking at my bookshelf,

612
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: you know, I do the radio show with my bookshelf

613
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: right right next to me. And if we're talking World

614
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: War I mean there's a whole we can do a

615
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: whole segment or a whole hour on just World War two.

616
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: Books for me, with the Old Breed Helmet, for My Pillow,

617
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: Neptune's Inferno, all of those, I've read.

618
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 2: Those.

619
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,239
Speaker 1: Those are awesome. I'm a big fan, and I've got

620
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: those in the bookshelf right in front of me here.

621
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: Plus Keegan's History of the Second World War that's a

622
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: little more kind of traditional historian obviously not a first

623
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: person account like you get from with the Have you

624
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: ever read with the Old with the Old Breeding Helmet?

625
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: From My Pillow are effectively combined. For the HBO series

626
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: The Pacific. No, I haven't read that. Oh my gosh,

627
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm good if you for fiction, Clay, I'm giving Clay homework. Okay.

628
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: For fiction, check out I Am Pilgrim. And for nonfiction

629
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: World War two stuff, I'd start with with The Old

630
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: Breed and Eugene Sledge. It's it's just so good and

631
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: like kind of haunting. But I'm amazing as a read,

632
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: so I would throw that in the mix.

633
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 2: I'm a Civil War history nerd, so I really legitimately

634
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 2: believe I've read every major Civil War history book that

635
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 2: has been written in the last forty or fifty years,

636
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 2: and a lot of them that were written before that.

637
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 2: We're rolling into Labor Day weekend, by the way, and

638
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 2: we're not very far from the anniversary of nine to

639
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 2: eleven and the total of the Towers Foundations committed to

640
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 2: helping our nation's heroes and their family in their darkest hours.

641
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: When a first responder or veteran doesn't return home leaves

642
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 2: behind a young family tunnel, the Towers supports him. The

643
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 2: Foundation will pay off their mortgages, lift their financial burdens

644
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 2: through the gold Star Family Home Program and the Fallen

645
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 2: First Responder Home Program. Thanks to the Smart Home Program,

646
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 2: severely injured veterans and first responders can regain their independence

647
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 2: with a mortgage free home specially adapted to meet their

648
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 2: unique physical needs. Tunnel the Towers also provides housing, assistance

649
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 2: and service to our nation's homeless veterans through their Homeless

650
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 2: Veteran Program. They're helping more than two thousand people this

651
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 2: year alone. Because no veterans should be living on the

652
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 2: streets of the country they signed up to protect. Join

Speaker 2: fun call.

664
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: Buck.

665
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 2: I was talking about the fact that I won a

666
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 2: halftime contest and an NFL stadium halftime show.

667
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: This is a long time ago.

668
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 2: This is back in two thousand and two, I think,

669
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: and Tim and Florida called in wanting to ask for

670
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 2: people who were not listening. I want a Mercury Mountaineer

671
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 2: brand new, and I won a pontoon boat. Tim and Florida,

672
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 2: you have a question about that.

673
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 3: Well, I just need to know the rest of the story.

674
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 3: You can't tell us you want a free truck and

675
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 3: a boat and not so how it ended up.

676
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 2: So I drove the car for like twelve years. I

677
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 2: drove the Mercury Mountaineer. Is that a car?

678
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: Is that what nice or I had? Is it wood

679
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: paneled sides? No? No, no.

680
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,719
Speaker 2: The Mercury Mountaineer was like a luxury version of the

681
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 2: Ford Explorer. So for anybody I think they've shut down

682
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 2: the Mercury aspect, it was owned by I believe Ford,

683
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: And if you've ever driven in a Ford Explorer, a

684
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 2: Mercury Mountaineer was like the luxury version of the Ford

685
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 2: Explorer base wagon ear I believe. So I drove that

686
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 2: for years until basically that car ran out, and then

687
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 2: I traded it in and got a new car, like

688
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 2: after ten years or something. I drove it for a

689
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 2: long time. I sold the pontooned I was in law school.

690
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 2: I had no money.

691
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: I sold the.

692
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 2: Pontoon boat back to the pontoon boat salesman and he

693
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 2: just gave me a check for like I think it

694
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 2: was fifteen K, which is not a small amount of

695
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 2: money now, but it was a monster amount of money

696
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 2: to me then. And so I kept the car and

697
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 2: I had to pay ten on it. By the way,

698
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 2: so the irs agents out there listening in two thousand

699
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,479
Speaker 2: and two or whatever. I didn't have a lot of income,

700
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 2: but I had to pay tax on the car, and

701
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 2: I had to pay tax on the boat. But so

702
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,720
Speaker 2: I paid a lot of the taxes with the money

703
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 2: that I got for selling the boat. And yeah, I

704
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 2: mean it was a you know, fifty thousand dollars plus

705
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 2: prize package that I won on the football field.

706
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 3: Wow.

707
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: I mean, did you ever have a car with wood

708
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: paneled sides? Because I did, That's why I'm asking about this.

709
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: I had a road a Buick Roadmaster station Wagon was

710
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: my first car in the eighties.

711
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 2: I feel like every parent, we did not. But I

712
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 2: feel like every parent that's car that I got into.

713
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 2: Do you remember bucketing that old like station. I bet

714
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 2: those are going to come back in style with the

715
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 2: wood paneling on the side.

716
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: The Roadmaster is now considered a classic and they're tough

717
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: to find, and they're like the price is not some

718
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: old it's like a collectible. Now, do you remember.

719
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 2: I bet a lot of people listening to us right

720
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 2: now because I remember being the kid in the back.

721
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 2: They had in the way back of the wood paneled car,

722
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 2: they had a rear facing yes seat. I don't think

723
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 2: they even make cars that have rear facing seats anymore.

724
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 2: You're driving my beloved Roadmaster, that's exactly it had the

725
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 2: very back bench seat facing in reverse, yes, And I

726
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 2: remember that that was back in the day. First of all,

727
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 2: your kids would run around like crazy because you wanted

728
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 2: to be reverse facing. The fact that I don't I

729
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 2: am I correct. I don't think there's a single vehicle

730
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 2: that they make now where you face the other direction.

731
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 2: I imagine that probably wasn't very safe for rear car accidents,

732
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 2: right because you're literally going right into it's like a

733
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 2: front facing accident.

734
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 1: You know, you've got For National Lampoon's vacation, it was

735
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: a Ford Country squire. That was the wood paneled car

736
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: for that one that chevy Chase drove. Yes, the chevy

737
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: Chase station Wagon is a Ford Country Squire. I don't

738
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 1: know if you find too many of those in the road.

739
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 1: That was nineteen seventy nine.

740
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 2: Do you remember the woman who pulled up beside chevy

741
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 2: Chase the really googgest shiffer?

742
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: Am I right? Good? Guess yeah?

743
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 2: I believe the other one, Christy Brinkley, thank you. Yes,

744
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: Christy Brinkley was the model who pulled up next to

745
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 2: the family station wagon later ended up swimming in the

746
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 2: pool at the at the motel. But I don't think

747
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 2: am I correcting this? I don't think there is a

748
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 2: single car that's made today where you face backwards tying

749
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 2: it all together.

750
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 1: Buck.

751
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 2: Southwest Airlines, they're airplanes. You used to face rear.

752
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: Up in the front of the airplane for old school

753
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: Southwest flyers. That doesn't exist now either. I'm a great

754
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: holiday weekend, everybody. We will be back with you on Tuesday.

755
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: There'll be a lot to cover them, so
