I'll continue to discuss why 21 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: that matters. Kirsten Cinema has flipped to an independent. What 22 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: does that mean about what Joe Mansion might decide to 23 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: do as well? Giving a body blow in some degree 24 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: to the idea that Joe Biden has a majority in 25 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: the Senate. Britney Griner, I'll talk a little bit more 26 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: about this. She has returned to Texas. We've left Paul 27 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: Wayland the Marine behind, and we've been talking about bias 28 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: in the media that is uncovered based on the censorship 29 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: and the significance of that censorship. You might have seen 30 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: me last night talking with Sean Hannity on his Fox 31 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: New show Fired Up about it, alongside of Stephen Miller. 32 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: I am arguing that we need primetime hearings that could 33 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: eventually lead to criminal charges. And we have a new 34 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: head of the Department of Justice. But the lies. It's 35 00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: important to note how often you and and many of 36 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: us out there are labeled conspiracy theorist, right wing conspiracy theorist. 37 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: Do you remember it wasn't very long ago when the 38 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: USA Today in an editorial called me a right wing extremist. 39 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,839 Speaker 1: Do you know why they called me a right wing extremist? 40 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: Because I questioned and covered aggressively the allegation that there 41 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: had been a racial slur hurled at a BYU volleyball 42 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: match against a duke female player. It was one hundred 43 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: percent of why it was a made up racism hoax. 44 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 1: Like Jesse Smollett. They called me a right wing extremist 45 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: for simply reporting the truth through OutKick and on these 46 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: airwaves and speaking honestly with all of you emails rolling 47 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: in about a lot of the topics that we have 48 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: discussed so far today and Al sends I think it 49 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: was Al hold on, let me make sure no. Mike 50 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: Al also sent I'll read his too. Al said, interesting 51 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: discussion on the New York Times. Where does a true 52 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: journalist go to seek employment these days? The New York 53 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: Times is not practicing true journalism. It's a great question. 54 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: Let's say that you are a kid out there today 55 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: and you're listening to me, and you are sixteen or 56 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: seventeen years old, maybe you're nineteen or twenty in majoring 57 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: in journalism in a college. Side note, you don't really 58 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: need a major in journalism. I'm just gonna put it 59 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: out there. I mean, this is not electrical engineering, right, 60 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: It's not that hard to figure out journalism. I've never 61 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: had a journalism course in my entire life, and I 62 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: found it and ran one of the biggest sports media 63 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: companies on the Internet. And we're pretty good at getting 64 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: the truth out there thanks to the staff that we 65 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: have put together. But I don't think anybody that works 66 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: at OutKick majored in journalism. It's just not that complicated 67 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: of a major major in something else. Focus on being 68 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: able to write well, being able to speak well, being 69 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: able to communicate efficiently and effectively. Those are important tools 70 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: to have, but the actual journalism degree isn't that great. 71 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: You know, I would say, go to Fox News. I mean, 72 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: I am fortunate that I work at Fox now, and 73 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: in my entire life as a media personality, no one 74 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: has ever told me you can't talk about this. Never happened, 75 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: and I'm not kidding with any of you, And now 76 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: I'm not sure I would listen anyway, And maybe they 77 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: recognize that they don't want to try to create a 78 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: stir by telling me what to not to talk about. 79 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: But in my entire career of doing fifteen hours of 80 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: radio for as long as I've been doing it, no 81 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: one has ever told me, hey, you need to talk 82 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: about this, and you can't talk about that. So I'm 83 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,679 Speaker 1: super impressed with the company that Ruper Murdoch has built. 84 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: So I think the New York Post does really good work. 85 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: We do really good work at OutKick do. I love 86 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal. I think the Wall Street Journal 87 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: is the best newspaper in the world right now. It's 88 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: a most fearless, most interesting. I would aspire if I 89 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: were a kid right now, seventeen or eighteen years old, 90 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: and I wanted to work in a major news outlet, 91 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: and I wanted it to be a you know, super 92 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: high end, right because look at OutKick every now and then, 93 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna have stories about you know, Croatian bikini models 94 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: who were big fans of the Croatia team spoiler alert, 95 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: who just beat Brazil. And then we might also analyze 96 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: lies that are going on in the me you. But 97 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna cover a wide variety, right Like, I don't 98 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: anticipate that I'm gonna open the Wall Street Journal Saturday 99 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: edition and there's gonna be a photo of spread of 100 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: a you know, hot Croatian bikini model who roots for 101 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: Croatia or dates the striker or whatever it is. We 102 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: might do that at Ol kick So and The New 103 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: York Post certainly would do it too. I don't think 104 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: Fox News would do it dot Com, but they probably 105 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: would look at the site traffic and think, for a minute, 106 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: maybe we should do it, because, by the way, everybody 107 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,799 Speaker 1: clicks on those stories and they're fun and they're not serious. 108 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: But if you wanted to be a serious what I've 109 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: always said, a big j journalist, I think the Wall 110 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: Street Journal would be the place that I would that 111 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: I would aspire to work if I were a sixteen 112 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: seventeen year old kid and I wanted to make a 113 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 1: big difference but I wanted to be honest and transparent. 114 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: I think the Wall Street Journal is the best newspaper 115 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: in America. So that's that answer for Al's question. Mike, 116 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: who I was initially intending to read the email. You 117 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: nicely explain the bias at the New York Times, but 118 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: this doesn't explain why ninety seven percent of publications are liberal. 119 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: Most people who go into journalism are left wing. That's 120 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: the easy answer, Like this idea of oh I'm I'm 121 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: an unbiased, nonpartisan journal They all vote Democrat, and there 122 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: are a lot of reasons why that could be the case, 123 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: or at least they pretend to vote Democrat. The overall 124 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: cultures of these places are left leaning, and I think, 125 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: frankly they're afraid of alienating a lot of these big advertisers. 126 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: And the advertising industry, as I told you earlier, I 127 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: think is right now the wokest industry in all of America. 128 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: So if you are trying to make sure that you 129 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: sell an advertising package for Apple or Amazon or Google, 130 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: you have to be buy in large, super woke. I mean, 131 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: just look, I love all the advertisers that we have 132 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: this program. We don't have a car company that advertises 133 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: on this program nationwide. I mean, just think about that 134 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: for a minute. This is the biggest radio show in 135 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: the country. There are millions of you listening every single day, 136 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: and no car company will advertise on our show. You 137 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: guys all drive cars, right, You guys are all out 138 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: there driving around in cars. They're afraid because the advertising 139 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: industry is so woke to be on our show. Think 140 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 1: but how crazy that is. No airline advertises on this show. 141 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: A lot of you are going to be getting on 142 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: airplanes flying all over the country for Christmas to go 143 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: visit friends and family. No airline will advertise on this show. 144 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: Why do you go out in shop Walmart, Costco, Target, 145 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: No convenience store will advertise on this show. Think about 146 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: how crazy that is. Just think for a minute. To 147 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: all advertise on super woke inc Right, you go listen 148 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: to those shows. All of the big brands will advertise 149 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: on far left wing propaganda podcast. Nobody even listens to 150 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: left wing radio shows buy and large brands fall over 151 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: themselves to spend money there. Let me just think about 152 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: it for a minute. You may have noticed it. I 153 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: in my entire life have never done a car ad 154 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: on a national show, A car like would you be like, hey, 155 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: you know what industry is super political now? Cars? They 156 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: won't buy ads on the show. So when you say, like, hey, 157 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: why are ABC, NBC and CBS so reflexively left wing 158 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: in their coverage? They won't cover this Twitter stuff, Well, 159 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: they got a lot of rap fours to sell. It's crazy. 160 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: Think about that a car in an airline won't advertise here. 161 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 1: I don't think we have right now a life insurance company, 162 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: am I like black and I are so crazy scary 163 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: that a life insurance company won't advertise with us that again, 164 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: it's not talked about because a lot of people are 165 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: afraid of upsetting advertising companies. But this is crazy. I mean, 166 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: we have the biggest audience in the country on radio, 167 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: and we don't have a car, and we don't have 168 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: a complane, and we don't have a life insurance company. 169 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: I'm talking about national Now, lots of local ads will 170 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: run during the show that maybe for different dealerships for cars, 171 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: for instance, I do some local car dealership ads. I 172 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: appreciate the guys who are willing to put their brands 173 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 1: with us in all these different local markets. But if 174 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: like you, were a truck company, wouldn't you want to 175 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,599 Speaker 1: reach this audience. I mean, it seems like a no 176 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: brainer to me. But they are so reflexively left wing 177 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: in the advertising agencies, and this is one of those 178 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: areas where the woke universe has had an impact. They 179 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: have terrified advertisers that if you appear on a show 180 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: like this that the car company is somehow going to 181 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: be in trouble, even though I mean, again, many of 182 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: you are listening to us in cars right now, and 183 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: I would bet that if a car company ever got 184 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: the balls to actually advertise here, I bet we'd sell 185 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: a lot of cars. I don't think Elon Musk advertises Tesla. 186 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,839 Speaker 1: I bet we'd sell a ton of Tesla's on here. 187 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: If Elon Musk was like, Hey, you know what, I'm 188 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: gonna just decide to start advertising with Clay and Buck. 189 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: I bet we would sell these things hand over fist. 190 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: You guys are a loyal audience, got money to spend. 191 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: It's crazy to me, but that's one of the reasons 192 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: that's at play. I'm reading a phenomenal book. I will say, 193 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: I just bought a book that you recommended on the 194 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: Lowis and Clark expeted just arrived today. Courage Undaunted. Courage 195 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 1: is an incredible I'm gonna give my review because we're 196 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: gonna start going back and says, you know, I've I'm 197 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: gonna give you some Rex. You give me Rex. I'm 198 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: gonna read on dat Courage. That's next on my list. 199 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: I'm reading Keegan's World War One History of the First 200 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: World War, which I've been meaning to read for a 201 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: long time. Absolutely phenomenal, like it even a little more 202 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: than The Guns of August by Barbara Tuckman at this point, 203 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: which is one of the classics that everybody reads about 204 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: World War One, very very good for what it is, 205 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: but I think Keegan's scope is a little bit better, 206 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: a little bit, a little bit more of my style. 207 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: But I also found a new show have you ever seen? 208 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: So I gotta ask because you're gonna probably make fun 209 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: of me. Um you sci fi? Are you in or 210 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: out on sci fi as a thing? Like I can't 211 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: get carried to watch any sci fi sho We've got 212 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: some rules. I'm not anti sci fi at all, but 213 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: like we love Star Wars for instance, in the house 214 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: that is that sci fi epic, Like it's almost more 215 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: than sci fi star So what would you say, Like, 216 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: I'm not huge on Star Trek, you know, like for instance, 217 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: that's definitely sci fi. Yeah, yeah, I mean it's our 218 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: Wars is sci fi. But to me that sort of 219 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: occupies almost So it's like you don't have to be 220 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: into dungeons and dragons and fantasy genre like Lord of 221 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: the Rings for example, right because it's such a big, 222 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: you know, trilogy epic. I love Game of Thrones that 223 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: wouldn't really probably count, although it's fantasy. So I try 224 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: to get my dad to watch it. Who's like, oh, 225 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: like there's like a dragon, like he with the CGI 226 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: dragon thing. He's like, I can't get him to get 227 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: past that. You know, there's not he's not into the 228 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: CGI Dragons. But I found a show that I'm sure 229 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: a lot of the audience uh, And I started to 230 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: binge watch it because I was just trying to drink 231 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: tea and get my voice back. The Expanse you were watching, 232 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: I've never heard of it. Very solid, very good show. 233 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: I'm accused of often saying how much different shows stink, 234 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: which is not fair, but people say this about me. 235 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: The Expanse, I will say, is very good. And Carrie 236 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: and I are now deep into season three of Yellowstone, 237 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: so I did follow up with that wreck. It does 238 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: really catch on. You didn't like the first couple of episodes, right, 239 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 1: like you just did kind of like Cowboys? What about 240 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: you know? Really like, you know, cowboy, get into a car? 241 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: What are you doing? But no, no, it actually makes 242 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: more sense on the Lewis and Clark front. My argument, 243 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep beating this drum until eventually somebody makes it. 244 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: If somebody would turn the Steven Ambrose Undaunted courage story 245 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: of Lewis and Clark. Obviously, there's tons of different Lewis 246 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: and Clark stories that have been done, but his particular 247 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: book was the sort of originating source material for a show. 248 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: I'm giving if there's anybody in Hollywood who listens, any 249 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: streaming companies who aren't super woke executives who are listening 250 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: right now, it would be the number one show in America. 251 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: Because if you look at the power and popularity of 252 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: Yellowstone the eighteen ninety three or whatever the heck the 253 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: other show is that was done there, there's a huge 254 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: I believe, and what's going to happen this weekend with 255 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: the top gun Maverick coming out, there's a huge desperate 256 00:14:54,920 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: demand for America is awesome content. AI call it. I 257 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: think that America is awesome. People are tired of America, 258 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: like the left wing America sucks, screw the USA angles, 259 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: American history is awful. The Lewis and Clark Expedition as 260 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: a show, long form, multi season streaming. The stories, first 261 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: of all, incredible. These guys were all traveling for years 262 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: through Virgin territory that had never been seen by any 263 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: American before. It would be incredible, riveting. I will say 264 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: that one of the upsides of I've I mean I'm canceling. 265 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: I canceled Disney Plus, I'm I'm going to cancel Hulu. 266 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: I'm on the I'm on the precipice of canceling Netflix too. Honestly, 267 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: the only you know what kept me going with it 268 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: was the Formula one show, which I like so much. 269 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: There's usually so how are you gonna watch shows if 270 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: you cancel everybody? Amazon Prime? I like Amazon. That's that's 271 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: what Now. I know Amazons woke too.

Boy, that's an interesting question. 333 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 1: I think it was different for each child. You know, 334 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: be honest with you. You know it all, it all 335 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: passes so quickly, and I don't remember a bad time. 336 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: It all seems like it was all, you know, pretty special, 337 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 1: and I felt really blessed to have such outstanding children. 338 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: That's that's really the truth. So we got some VIP emails. 339 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: We've also got some calls, Dad from people that want 340 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: to speak to you. And again, we were gonna have 341 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: Clay's dad, but we're have Clay's dad. On a future show, 342 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: um Alfie in New York City said, Buck and Clay 343 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: display real leadership qualities. I love that. Our team. Yeah, look, 344 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: everybody's fantastic, how everybody loves us, But Buck and Clay 345 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: display real leadership qualities. I'm wondering if they were naturally 346 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: liked that as kids, for example, were they class president, 347 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: heads of any club at school, capital of a sports team, 348 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: or in the cub Scouts of Clay we just were 349 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: you president. I was your president of the school. You 350 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: are too right. We're both presidents of the student body 351 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: at our respective schools. So I guess that's a good sign. Yeah, 352 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: I mean I think that, you know, to some degree, 353 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: says at all Buck you know started out. I think 354 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: he's told the story of his speech impediment and how 355 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: that you know, held him back in early school, first 356 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: and second grade, and then he he got you know, 357 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: we got him to a speech pathologist who really helped 358 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: him and buy the third or fourth grade, he was 359 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: the top student in his class, and from then on, 360 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: you know, he really was, you know, sort of a 361 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: leader of his peer group going forward from then on, 362 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: I mean, right through high school. Uh to a lesser 363 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: degree in college only because uh, perhaps of the political 364 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: vagaries of Amherst. He knows, he knows, you know, I 365 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: got I got picketed. Dad knows this story. For a 366 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: Sanco de Mayo party, I mean there was actual yeah, yeah, 367 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: and it was everyone just came down on the buster 368 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: because like I like to throw a party and have 369 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: a good time calling my mom and dad. I'm like 370 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: everyone's coming down on me. The good news was that 371 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: there was so there was a flyer that was made, 372 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: and the flyer was considered offensive defensive, and there was 373 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: a lot of cultural appropriation going on. I was just 374 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: in charge of booze procuring. I was not involved tequila 375 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: and and fortunately the young woman who was my classmate 376 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: who made the offensive flyer was a female from South 377 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: Asia and therefore they were far less inclined to kick 378 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: her out of school than a white guy. I had 379 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: to have meetings with all the diversity counselors. I had 380 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: threats of picketing. They said they were going to call 381 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: the police on us for the school said they would 382 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: call actual police on us for underage drinking. And so 383 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: we had to just like beg forgiveness and drink our 384 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: tequila behind closed doors. That is amazing story. By the 385 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: next one, by the way, Yeah, Gabby and Beacon in 386 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: New York says uh wed I mentioned that we met 387 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: last night, and Buck's mom has already been on uh. 388 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: I know. Miss Sexton was an actress. Question here from 389 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: Gabby were you ever a hair model? Because you still 390 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: have a heck, of a head of hair on you 391 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: your son obvious. This is Gabby and Beacon, New York. 392 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:30,360 Speaker 1: I'm reading directly. This is her question, not mine, Gabby anyway. 393 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 1: Uh no, your dad. I mean you just you were 394 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: you were a stockbroker, right. You just went to your 395 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 1: fiftieth and right reunion in business school reunion, just got 396 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: back from it. Yeah, it was quite an experience, I'll 397 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: be honest with you. Uh for a lot of reasons. 398 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to go on a huge tangent, but basically, 399 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: they're about of my class of seventy five that started 400 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: in the class of nineteen seventy two, uh, twenty percent 401 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: of past and and that's a very sobering reality. And 402 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: then of the remaining uh sixty or so in that 403 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: are still alive, about twenty one or twenty two showed 404 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: up for the reunion with their significant others, wives and 405 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: so on. And it was in many ways the best 406 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: reunion by far, because all the competition that you usually 407 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: you know when you show up at your tenth or 408 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: your twentieth, uh, those that was all gone. It's all 409 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: about you know, your health, your grandchildren, your family, and 410 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: there was a real sense of camaraderie and love and 411 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: special you know, affection within the group. And I thought 412 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: that was that was really something I didn't really anticipate, 413 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: but I found, you know, really uh really rewards. Remember 414 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: how much at Harvard Business School costs when you went there, Well, 415 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: it was funny because when I started it was thirty 416 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: five hundred dollars. I think that's right. But the funny 417 00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: part about it was that there was actually a protest 418 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: with signs and you know everything else when they raised 419 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: a tuition to five thousand dollars of my second year. 420 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: So you can imagine Harvard Business School students protesting, and 421 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: we were just speaking about the campus radicalism thing that 422 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: I you know that I doubt, which was just people. 423 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: It was like the movie PCU for our listeners, which 424 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: if you have not seen, you absolutely would have fun watch. 425 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: You guys have all seen PCU, right politically correct university. 426 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: You haven't unacceptable. It's even more timely, I would say. Now, 427 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 1: whatever it was that you were at Columbia when the 428 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: students seized the buildings, broke right, T tell us about me? 429 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: This was crazy? So well again I was. I graduated 430 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: from Columbia nineteen sixty nine, But in nineteen sixty eight, 431 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 1: my junior year, the students for a Democratic Society, a 432 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: young man named Mark Rudd, some of you remember, literally 433 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: shut the university down completely and radicalized, you know, all 434 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: the students that remained on campus. And they were really 435 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: far left radicals. I mean in the mathematics building, you know, 436 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: you had you know, real Marxists. I wanted to I 437 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: wanted to literally burn the university down. So after about 438 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: two weeks of shutting down the university, finally I think 439 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,199 Speaker 1: it was Grayson Kirk, who was the president, called in 440 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: the New York Police Department and that was an incredible experience. 441 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: I happened to work at the time for Whitney north 442 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: Seymour Junior, who was became the Southern District Attorney. And anyway, 443 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 1: real real quickly, I got word that the police were 444 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: coming in at two a m. That night, and so 445 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 1: I had a friend who had a an apartment on 446 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: the fourth floor at one hundred and sixteenth Street and Amsterdam, 447 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: so I could watch the main gate and these that 448 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: they called them the Tactical Lease Force. They're all on 449 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: these big horses and they're all, you know, got helm 450 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,719 Speaker 1: rights here, right The whole thing. Anyway, it was, it 451 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: was a real war. Three people died during that. Oh wow, 452 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: saw you saw actual violence from the comedy of the 453 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: batons the whole thing. Oh yeah, No, I saw somebody 454 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: jump from one of the buildings onto the back of 455 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: a policeman, broke his back and he subsequently died in 456 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 1: the hospital. So does nineteen sixty eight, by the way, 457 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: remind you now the world that we're in now, does 458 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,719 Speaker 1: that does that congruency historically resonate for you? Or are 459 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 1: they totally different in your mind? Well? I think they're 460 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: certainly parallels. Um. You know, clearly we have a very 461 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: far left, radicalized Democratic Party now that is prone to 462 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: violence and is using you know, obviously Antifa and these 463 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 1: other sort of you know, literary movements to enforce whatever 464 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: ideas they're trying to enforce and intimidate people. So yeah, 465 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 1: I look, I what people don't understand is how close 466 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: we are always to civil unrest. You know, it doesn't 467 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,360 Speaker 1: take much, you know, a crowd of two or three 468 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: hundred people that is willing to go to jail or 469 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: will willing to you know, break and burn can be 470 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: a formidable force. See, we got we got we got 471 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: anti Communist year in New York City. Clais, We're gonna 472 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna bring you back to close it out and 473 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: honor a Father's Day.

I'll let you answer 477 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 1: when we come back out of this next break, But 478 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: as being a grandfather more fun than being a father, 479 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: think about it. We'll get your answer. I know there's 480 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people out there that have gotten to 481 00:27:53,680 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: experience both, and I'm curious the difference.

His name is Ryan 498 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: Mason Kumar and we call him ray Rye the rock Star. 499 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: And uh, he's twenty months and he's completely changed my life. Um, 500 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: you know, my per perspective has gone from you know, 501 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,479 Speaker 1: just worrying about retirement and health and those issues, and 502 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: now it's really a focus on I want to make 503 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: sure he has every opportunity that I can possibly provide him, 504 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: including with his parents of course. And um, you know, 505 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: just watching him grow up and spending time with him 506 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: is incredibly special. And you know, in some ways it's 507 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: better because I don't have the direct responsibility, but in 508 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,239 Speaker 1: other ways, Uh, you know, there's nothing like you know, 509 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: having having your own children, you know, and and and 510 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: being a hopefully a model of behavior. You guys, because 511 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: you had the four of us, Dad by the time, 512 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: when do you had us four? When you were what 513 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: mid mid thirties right now, I'm marrying your mother when 514 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: I was thirty and she was twenty, and then by 515 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: uh about forty three, forty four. I think I had 516 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: four children, because Clay got married at twenty five. He's 517 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: got three kids. He's forty three. Yeah, I had twenty eight, 518 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: twenty eight years old as when I had my first. 519 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: So I've got a fourteen year old, the eleven year 520 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: old and the seven year old. Busy stuff. We got 521 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: Barney from Poughkeepsie. He's actually got a question. He called 522 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: it on the lines. We had the Father's Day line. 523 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: Let's play it. This is Barney from Potkeepsie. I just 524 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: wanted to know from Buck's dad, what were his thoughts 525 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: when Buck joined the CIA. Well, that's a great question, 526 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: and obviously you have remember the time that he joined 527 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: the CI. It was after nine to eleven, and he 528 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: joined it to his credit as a you know, I 529 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: think a show of patriotism and concern for his country. 530 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: He had been studying Middle Eastern affairs and had some 531 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: knowledge of Arabic, so he was in some ways an 532 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: ideal candidate for the CIA. But you know when he 533 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: went away and said, Dad, I can't tell you where 534 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: we're going. It's top secret that that's a concern. And 535 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: when we found out, uh, you know that it was 536 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: we obviously suspected it was Iraq and and ultimately Afghanistan. 537 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: I will tell a quick story. Um, there was an 538 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: article in the New York Times about the fact that 539 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: five senior al Qaeda leaders had been liquidated in Moselle Um, Mosel. 540 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, and I had just had a feeling that 541 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: Buck was involved. And as it turned out, you can 542 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: neither confirm nor deny. But as it turned out, show 543 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: up here now is dad spelled. But some friends who 544 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: were very badass door kicker folks, I might have tried 545 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: to help point them in the general vicinity. Um. Anyway, 546 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: So we were incredibly proud, of course for buck service, 547 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: and still are. Yeah, we we have Thelma from Thelma 548 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: from seat and I don't want to have Clay has 549 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: got to throw a sports question because the sex he raised, 550 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: he used to take me. He took me to Giants games, 551 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: took me to Knicks games. So you know, because I 552 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: think this audience thinks like I played the sports, I 553 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,479 Speaker 1: saw the sports. I still like to play the sports. 554 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: I'm just not I don't really watch the professional leagues 555 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: very much. Anyway, We'll get to that a second. This 556 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: is Thelma from Seattle. Let's play it. This is Thelma 557 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: from Seattle. I was just curious. The Sexton family has 558 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: some interesting names, Speed Buck with the origins well, the 559 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: Speed family. Excuse me, the Speed is a family name. 560 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: It was my mother's maiden name. The Speed family, I 561 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: was just telling Clay here because he's from Nashville, is 562 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 1: a prominent family in Louisville, Kentucky. The Speed Museum is 563 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: an internationally well known museum, Speed Institute. And then of 564 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: course Farmington, which is the family home, which was designed 565 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 1: by Jefferson, is a National Historic Landmark. So the Speed 566 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: name in Louisville in particular is a you know, it's 567 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: a historically important name. The if you go, if you 568 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: Go back ultimately to John Speed was a cartographer to 569 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth, the real Queen Elizabeth, and then Joshua Speed 570 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: was Lincoln's best friend and advisor during his entire political career. 571 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: And then ultimately James Speed, his brother, was the second 572 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,960 Speaker 1: Attorney General in the or was his Attorney general in 573 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: his second term. So, um, that tells you a little 574 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 1: bit of the speed name your favorite team in the 575 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: world of sports is gosh, it has been the it 576 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: has been the Giants.
