1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,600 Speaker 1: The Sunday Hang is brought to you by Chalk Natural 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: Supplements for guys, gals, and nothing in between. Fuel your 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: day at Chalk dot Com, bold reverence, and occasionally random 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,639 Speaker 1: The Sunday Hang with Playing Fuck podcast. It starts now, 5 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: all right, moment here, It's possible that I am the 6 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: dumbest person on the planet, and some of you are 7 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,119 Speaker 1: nodding your head like, yes, that is certainly what the 8 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: story is here. I can no longer figure out how 9 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: to turn lights on or off in any hotel room 10 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: in America, and I don't know if this is just me. 11 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: Last night, Buck, I got in because we had weather 12 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: coming into Nashville. I got to the hotel here in 13 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: the Miami area close to midnight. I was tired. I 14 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: check in, I get to my room. I wish there 15 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 1: were a camera on me. For a solid half hour, 16 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: I was trying to turn the lights off in the room. 17 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: I scoured this place. I mean I was doing it 18 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: was like I was checking to see if it was bugged. 19 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: And I couldn't turn out the lights. I just eventually 20 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: said screw it, and I slept all night with the 21 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: pillow over the top of my head. I don't know 22 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: when this started. I noticed it in like the last 23 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: five or six years. They are trying. I think this 24 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: is a psychological attack on America. They have decided that 25 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 1: turning on and off lights should be impossible in hotel rooms, 26 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: and we need simplicity to return I experience. You're not alone. 27 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you this so you don't think I 28 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: think I'm the worst in America. You're not alone on this. 29 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: I also, I've got a few complaints here, and this 30 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: is brought to you by a segment called Clay and Buck. 31 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: Say get off my lawn because we're being very old men. 32 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: But I will tell you the truth. I've also found 33 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: TVs in hotels have now just become these impossible interfaces 34 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: of No. I don't want to see some weird video 35 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: about your other hotels around the world. I just want 36 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: a television that turns on and goes to TV. Right, 37 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: there's always you know, oh, and just press this button 38 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: and you can order you know, your dry cleaning delivered 39 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: or something. I'm like, can we just do the TV thing? 40 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: That's one but on the light thing, which I think 41 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: is just an extension of the same mentality all these things. 42 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: It's like sheer reading salt. And obviously this is for 43 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: like some of your kind of higher end hotels or whatever, 44 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: but you know they have them in just kind of 45 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: normal ISSH hotels. It doesn't have to be super fancy 46 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: all these different things. I don't even know what all 47 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: these words mean. I can't get the lights to go 48 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: the way I want. Who goes there, Who's like, oh, 49 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: I'm so glad that I have nine buttons to push 50 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: from my one room hotel room when it comes to lights. 51 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: My theory in general and all of this is bring 52 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: back simplicity. I was talking with my wife about it. 53 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: Do you remember in the nineteen eighties when you had 54 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: if you got in your car and you wanted to 55 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: put on a radio, you had like a little dial 56 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: and you could just twist it and it would take 57 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: you to your station. And also when it came to 58 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: temperature controls, you had a little dial and it was 59 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: blue for cold and it was red for warm, and 60 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: everybody understood it and it was super easy. I think 61 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: we're going backwards in terms of efficiency and effectiveness on everything, 62 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: but particularly the lighting situation in all hotels. I would 63 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: say this I would prefer to have in my hotel room. 64 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: One light switch with a dimmer on. 65 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 2: It for everything. 66 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: That's it? 67 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 2: Why not? 68 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: Why it's all I need. I'm not doing a photo 69 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: shooting there at least you know I'm not planning on it. 70 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: Sunday Hang with Clay and Buck. I did not watch it, 71 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: but I did see some of the Well, I didn't 72 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: watch the Academy Awards. We got a good clip we'll 73 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: play for you at the end of the show of that. 74 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: It's actually a positive one. I did not watch Saturday 75 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: Night Live either, But Shane Gillis, who is a Trump 76 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: voting comedian out there, they do say he voted for Trump. 77 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Is that was that real? I 78 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: hope I didn't just blow him up. But uh, okay, uh. 79 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: He was on as the guest host of SNL and 80 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: they had a skit, this is local news coverage skit, 81 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: and you have two black Ucal news host obviously you 82 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: just get two white ones and they're competing to see 83 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: whether or not the criminals are going to be white 84 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: or black. It's actually very funny. I shared it on 85 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: my Twitter feed. We got to cut for you SNL 86 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: actually bringing a little bit of humor to the Saturday 87 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: Night Live airways. Listen, police are looking for looters. 88 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 2: Huh you hear that these looters were spotted after wildfires 89 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: devastated homes in Hunt Valley Township, Loos. Okay, just read 90 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 2: the story. Please don't a lookout for the alleged ringleader, 91 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 2: local man named Ethan Kapowski Dammage. 92 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,239 Speaker 1: Okay, that's great. 93 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 3: Nothing let's say about this one. Mayhem at the barber 94 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 3: shop after a customer was shot during an argument over 95 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 3: Drake and Kendrick. A Florida middle school teacher has resigned 96 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 3: after falling in love with an eighth grade student. She's 97 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 3: team you were Okay, wait, wait, I haven't finished reading yet. 98 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 3: Authorities have charged thirty eight year old Lakeisha. 99 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: Will y'all three three, Thank you sweet baby, Lakeisha? All right, 100 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: So that the premise here, Buck is that the white 101 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: people are reacting and the black people reacting based on 102 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: the race of the alleged criminals, which basically is social media. 103 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: Every time there is a crime, we wait to see, oh, 104 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: what exactly is the outcome here? If there's anything that's 105 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: like a terrorist attack, Yeah, you can just tell left 106 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: and right getting ready, and you know, generally it's not 107 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: what the left wants. But once in a while they 108 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: find somebody on the right that they'll you know, it's 109 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: it's it does happen on social media. It's really Shane 110 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: Gillis is very funny. His beautiful Dogs thing, where he 111 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: does a Trump impression of beautiful dogs from his sketch, 112 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: is one of the best two minute comedy clips I've 113 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: seen in a long time. I'm still a Nate Bargatsi 114 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: guy is. Shane is top five. Nate's a good buddy 115 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: of mine. We're the same age from Nashville. He is 116 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: incredibly talented, very funny, clean comedian, which is somewhat rare. 117 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: Sunday drap with Clay Buck. I saw this quote from 118 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: Charles Barkley yesterday. Charles Barkley, of course, the star NBA 119 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: player formerly who now is a media prognosticator. I think 120 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: he's probably the most talented TV guy in media today. 121 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: He said this about I've been talking about the vibe 122 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: shift along with Buck. By the way, Buck, we'll be 123 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: back with me tomorrow. He's traveling right now. We've got 124 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: meetings in Nashville with advertisers tomorrow. But the vibe shift 125 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: is real. We played a clip for you from HBO 126 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: from The White Lotus. We played steven A. Smith on 127 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: the View putting Joy Behar in a body bag on 128 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: her own show. I thought this was interesting from Charles 129 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: Barkley yesterday, and I'm reading a quote from him because 130 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: I haven't seen the greg. See if you can maybe 131 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: track down the audio on this and maybe we could 132 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: play it at some point this week. But he was 133 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: talking about how remember the controversy over whether the Eagles 134 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: were going to visit the White House or not. Philadelphia 135 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: Eagles who just won the Super Bowl. There was a 136 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: report that they weren't. Then a report and I talked 137 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: to the White House and they said no, no, no, 138 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: that's not true. And then it comes out, Oh, they're 139 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: gonna come and they're gonna be honored. But it was 140 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: a huge story that blew up and a lot of 141 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: people reacted to it. Here's what Charles Barkley had to 142 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: say reacting to that. I don't care and I agree 143 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: with him one hundred percent. Let me preface this with 144 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: I don't care who the president is. He's the President 145 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: of the United States. It bothered me the last ten years. 146 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: They're like, well, I'm not going because this certain person 147 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: is President. Dude. It's the President of the United States. 148 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: Even though I disagree with President Trump on some things, 149 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: if I met him, I would still give him the 150 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,040 Speaker 1: respect and dignity he deserves. We can disagree, but it 151 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: bothers me when these teams don't want to go to 152 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: the White House. I'm just disappointed we got so divided. 153 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: Where did we get to as a country When we're like, 154 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: we're not going to the White House, we don't like 155 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: who's in there. That's just stupid. I think that's well 156 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: said by Charles Barkley. I've said this before. If Joe 157 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: Biden had invited me to the White House, I would 158 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: have gone. I understand some of you out there might 159 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: have been upset. I would have gone in and given 160 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: him my advice. Trump has invited me to the White 161 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: House before I've been there. Trump has invited Buck to 162 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: the White House before we've both been in the Oval 163 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: Office and visited with the President. It's an incredible privilege. 164 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: It's an incredible privilege to be able to meet with 165 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: the President for any reason. So I'm old fashioned in 166 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: that respect. If I won a Super Bowl or if 167 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: I won an NBA championship or a college championship, major 168 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 1: League Baseball. We just had the Florida Panthers there. I 169 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: would go in a heartbeat, I went, there's a college 170 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: at GW. We stood in line to be able to go, 171 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: just walk through and tour the White House. Some of 172 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: you probably have been fortunate enough to do that. The 173 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: opportunity as an American to visit the White House, shake 174 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: the hand of the President, even if you disagree with them, 175 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: I think is something that should be unifying Democrat, Republican, Independent. 176 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: I think Charles Barkley is right about it. Okay, several 177 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: different things. A lot of you want to wait in on. 178 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: Let's go take some of your calls. Mark in Virginia, 179 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: what you got for us? 180 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 2: Mark? 181 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 4: Hey, Clay, what's going on on? 182 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: I just live in the dream here, Mark, what you 183 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: got for us? Oh? 184 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,719 Speaker 4: Great, great job. Russia be proud of you guys. You 185 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 4: and buff Off, thank. 186 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: You so much. 187 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 4: Real quick, of course, the deal with the mineral deal, 188 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 4: no real shock or there are of the deal. He 189 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 4: is the master magician when it comes to deal, you know, 190 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 4: and fake news media is going to jump all over 191 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 4: whatever they can to you know, create a narrative that 192 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 4: drives you know a lot of low information voters. Anyway, 193 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 4: getting back to what you were talking about, the economy, Yes, okay, 194 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 4: here we go. Trump will certainly mention the economy. It's 195 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 4: certainly on the top of his priority list as usual. 196 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 4: But although he may get gig for it. Who are 197 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 4: we yet once again waiting on Congress Allison the city? 198 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 4: Can they ever get together to do anything right? Here's 199 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 4: my opinion, and watch it way out to be true. 200 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 4: I think it ends on March of fifteenth, where the 201 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 4: government shoss now, so allay up to March fourteenth and 202 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,319 Speaker 4: finally rush in this deal or whatever something that they 203 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 4: could have done a month ago. You know, what have 204 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 4: they been doing the last month? You know, all they 205 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 4: do is sticker with each other that you know, somebody's 206 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 4: ice cream cone is bigger than somebody else's. So let's 207 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 4: have a forty five day fight about that. 208 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: Thank you for the call. I agree on the government shutdown. 209 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: And if you listen to this show, Buck and I 210 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: have consistently told you the government's going to get funded. 211 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: The government is not a lot of you out there, 212 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 1: we like I wish more of the government would get 213 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: shut down. Certainly, I understand that, but I feel like 214 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: the government shutdown story is maybe the most overplayed narrative 215 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 1: arc out there in politics. 216 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 2: Right now. 217 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it's going to be shut down and 218 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 1: then it gets resolved. Bill and Marilyn. What you got 219 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: for us? 220 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 2: Hello? 221 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're with us? What you got? 222 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 2: Okay? Sorry? Sorry? The reason that I caught I heard 223 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 2: Senator Soon on your show earlier today, and I was 224 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 2: just I was so flabbergasted that I couldn't believe what 225 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 2: I was hearing because essentially, and correct me if I'm wrong, 226 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: he said, forget about we've got something from Canada or whatever, 227 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: and that's why we'd run the Senate the way we 228 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 2: do today at any rate. He basically, with the sixteen 229 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 2: votes required given today and actually the last dozen years 230 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 2: or more, the way we're so divided, there's virtually no 231 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 2: chance of the Senate doing anything worthwhile. 232 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: Thank you for the call. Yeah, no, And I think 233 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: that's important. We had Senator John Thuna on and I 234 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: wanted him to explain to all of you, because I 235 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: do think it's frustrating Senate majority fifty three votes. There 236 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,719 Speaker 1: are certain things that a Senate majority can do. They 237 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: can confirm President Trump's cabinet nominees, as they buy in 238 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: large have done, and frankly, as they've done in a 239 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: fairly rapid fashion, they could if there. 240 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 2: Were a. 241 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 1: Death or a resignation, they could put a new Supreme 242 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 1: Court justice in with a majority. Remember, because Harry Reid 243 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: changed that rule and Mitch McConnell remembers said, you may 244 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: end up regretting this sooner rather than later, and he did, 245 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: because now a simple majority puts someone on the Supreme 246 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: Court what they cannot do. And I thought this was important, 247 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: and he laid it out. I'd encourage you to go 248 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: listen to the first hour of the podcast because he 249 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: kind of laid it out in great detail. Outside of 250 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: the budget reconciliation process, which can pass with a simple majority, 251 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: almost every bill in order to clear the Senate needs 252 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 1: sixty votes. That means with fifty three Republicans, even if 253 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: you get all fifty three, you need seven Democrats to 254 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: sign on in order to get anything through the Senate 255 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: by and large. And so the result is John Thune 256 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: was just being honest with everybody. Unless you have sixty, 257 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: the Democrats can obstruct many of the things that the 258 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: Senate wants to pass, including as we started off the 259 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 1: show discussing the men not being allowed to compete in 260 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 1: women's sports, Ted and Florida, what you got for us? 261 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 2: All righty body, I'm great. 262 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: How are y'all? 263 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 2: Hey man great? The last twelve years of my life, 264 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 2: I've been living this, uh you know, family, liberal, Republican. 265 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 2: My oldest son went to NYU and got indoctrinated and 266 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 2: became trans and at the time, I just didn't understand 267 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 2: what was going on. And his younger brother he was 268 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 2: telling me, oh, Dad, it's just a fad, don't worry 269 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 2: about it. And I'm like, well, okay, that fad is. 270 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 2: You know, I kind of missed my son, and I 271 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 2: don't have any say in this at all. I'm just 272 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 2: you know, as a parent, you just love your kid, right, 273 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 2: you shoot him like an arrow and just love him. 274 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: Yep. 275 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 2: And so now now he's she's the transition. 276 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: You know. 277 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 2: I went through a divorce liberal woman. Now I'm happily 278 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 2: married last ten years to a Republican woman, very happily. 279 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 2: You know, no drama. I don't mean any disrespect to anybody, 280 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 2: but I feel like my my life's just been a movie. 281 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 2: The last twelve years. 282 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: So what happened? So I hope I'm glad that you 283 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: and your personal life are making decisions that are getting 284 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: you happier. So what's happened with your son that decided 285 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: he wanted to transition? 286 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great question. You know, we text very lovingly. 287 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 2: We don't we don't have a huge relationship. I wish 288 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 2: we did have a better relationship. But I'm just waiting 289 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 2: for her or or him, you know, to to just 290 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 2: I've tried to go visit, you know, several times and 291 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 2: it just wasn't the right time or you know, it 292 00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 2: wasn't going to work, or so I'm not sure. 293 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: Great, Well, thank you for the call, and we wish 294 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: you the best on your relationships with your kids. I 295 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: think there are people out there who have dealt with 296 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: this unfortunately, and it's very challenging in your own families, 297 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: because the data reflects, again, the data large scale, not 298 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: your individual life circumstance. The data reflects that most people 299 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: who are interested in gender transition are profoundly unhappy. And 300 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: if you remember a time when you and your own 301 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: life might have been profoundly unhappy, sometimes you feel like 302 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: you need to do something drastic in order to alter 303 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: the trajectory of your life. The data often reflects that 304 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: when you do something like hey, I was a boy, 305 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: now I'm a girl, that a lot of times that 306 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: drastic change isn't what's going to make you happier in 307 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: your life. And I'm far from a life coach. I 308 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: screw up things all the time, like all of you, 309 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: I am imperfect in all facets. But I do think 310 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: in general, the idea of drastic change is going to 311 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: suddenly move me from super unhappy to super happy is appealing, 312 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: but oftentimes not necessarily based on the data. Again, what 313 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 1: actually makes someone happy? And look, I'm getting on my 314 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: soapbox here. I also just think one of the challenges 315 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 1: I think of parenting in general, and I'm sure for 316 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: a lot of you who are grandparenting too, we've sort 317 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: of created this world where kids think if they're unhappy 318 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: that something is wrong with them. You're not always going 319 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: to be happy. Sometimes bad things happen and they can 320 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: depress you for a period of time. I saw where 321 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: Trump There was a clip going viral of Donald Trump, 322 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: and I thought it was actually really good advice. He 323 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: said for him, the best cure for depression was working 324 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: really really hard, because then you don't have as much 325 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: time to marinate on things that you're unhappy about. Now 326 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: everybody is different. I'm not saying there's a one size 327 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: fits all aspect, but this is why, in general, I'm 328 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:37,239 Speaker 1: skeptical of the prescription drug universe because I think what 329 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: they sell is, oh, if you just take this pill, 330 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: you'll be fine. I don't buy that. I think it's 331 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: a good business model for them. Hey, if you have 332 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: to take this pill every day for the rest of 333 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: your life and you're otherwise concerned that if you don't, 334 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: you're going to be unhappy, I understand why it makes 335 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 1: sense from business perspective. I'm just skeptical. I'm a skeptic 336 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: in general when it comes to and my wife picks 337 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: on me over this sometimes. Like I don't even like 338 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: taking tile in all, right, prescription drugs, I don't take 339 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: any of them. Tile and all. I don't like to 340 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: take it, you know, like natural supplements those kind of things. Okay, 341 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: eat healthy, try to get to sleep best you can, 342 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: you know. Like I'm old school. I'd like the guy 343 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: who doesn't want to wear batting gloves, just give me 344 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: a wooden bat I'll get up and I'll try to 345 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: make my had.
