1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: Bold, reverence, and occasionally random. The Sunday hang with Playing 2 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 1: Buck podcast starts now. I was telling Buck that I'm 3 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: getting ready to go to David Busters because my kids 4 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,159 Speaker 1: want to go play all the all the games. For 5 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: those of you who are familiar with David Busters. And 6 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: did you see Buck, we bought We went to the 7 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 1: card shop. My kids are obsessed with the card collecting, baseball, football, 8 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: all those things. And I ended up spending the most 9 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: money because I bought myself a big box of nineteen 10 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 1: eighty seven baseball cards that we have started to open 11 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: still with the old gum if you remember the old 12 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: tops baseball cards that at this point, yeah, thirty five 13 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: year old baseball cards that were starting to open, and 14 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun. But my kids couldn't resist. 15 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: The seven and eleven year old both tried the gum 16 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: and they said it tasted like cardboard. But for anybody 17 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: out there who remembers it tasted like cardboard thirty five 18 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: years ago when it was new too, so, but they 19 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: couldn't resist. They had to try the gump. Now we're 20 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: gonna have some late eighties early nineties throwback room. Would 21 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: you remember that that pink gum they used to sell 22 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: that was like a roll of tape. Oh yeah, I 23 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: had about that forever. Bubble tape. Bubble tape man. I 24 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: remember running to the corner store after school and all 25 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 1: the kids, everybody was getting bubble tape airheads. I think 26 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: they still have airheads candy. But the best part about 27 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: I think it was Tops in score where I actually 28 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: had some baseball. I wanted to do whatever my older 29 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: brother did at that age, and so he had some 30 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: baseball cards on Dons where the three biggest scoreboard score 31 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: cards exist too, but Tops, Fleer and Donris were the three. 32 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 1: I mean, I thought, you know, at age eight or nine, 33 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: that if I just held onto that Don Mattingly card, 34 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: I'd be able to slap my butler around in a 35 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: number of years with it, you know, But didn't really 36 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: work out that. Some of those cards, though, have ended up. 37 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: We went to the baseball card shop and I love 38 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: just seeing some of them. Some of them have ended 39 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: up really really valuable. But the eighties, seven eighty eight, 40 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: eighty nine, ninety, when card collecting was basically at its apex, 41 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: they produced way too much for most of those cards 42 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: to be very valuable. Right. They over they they inflated. Yes, 43 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: they kind of printed too many cards. And then when 44 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: you print too many baseball cards and everybody else has 45 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: the Don Mattingly rookie card that I have, it turns 46 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 1: out that card isn't worth as much. Maybe we should 47 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: send this segment to the Biden administration and try to 48 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: help them understand. So you might not understand this, but Hunter, 49 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: the smartest man that you ever knew, probably collected baseball cards, 50 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 1: and his cards are not worth very much money because 51 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: there were too many of them printed. Much like what 52 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: you are doing with our nation's economy right now. What 53 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 1: a lesson that is. My kids may actually understand inflation 54 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: based on this. There you go, look how it goes. 55 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: What is it is like? Is there one card I 56 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: would assume as a as an outside sports outside of 57 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: the sports bubble guy, that the Babe Ruth card is 58 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: the most valuable card of it but the most valuable 59 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: card historically. Now it's starting to change because they're doing 60 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: the new thing buck is scarcity in cards so they 61 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: will get autographed. They now have like pieces of uniform 62 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: that they put in there. They have gotten really smart 63 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: in limiting the production to drive up the value but 64 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: historically the Honus Wagner baseball card, really Honus Wagner card. 65 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: There were only like one hundred and eighty of them 66 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: made or something, and he was anti I can't remember 67 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,839 Speaker 1: all the details. I used to do it. Well, he 68 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: was anti smoking, and there was a smoking company that 69 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: put them out. He demanded that they destroy all of 70 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: his cards. And so I believe it's the T three 71 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: oh six Honus Wagner card has historically been the most valuable. 72 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: You sound like you could open a baseball card memorabilia shop, man, 73 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: You've got some game. I went to the baseball memorabilia 74 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: card shop today yesterday with my boys. And I actually 75 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: remember as a kid that one of my dream jobs 76 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: was to own a baseball card collecting show. That's how 77 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: much I was all in, and like the ages eight 78 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: to twelve, I was upset. I remember for a short 79 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: while I got really into making historical war dioramas, and 80 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: like the fourth and fifth grade, and I used to 81 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: go into this fun for going to civil war history. 82 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: You know, baby steps here right, I can't give it 83 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: all away at the beginning. Oh yeah, so you still 84 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: have them? H no? Oh god no. If it's long 85 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: since the diorama you made that you I may have 86 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: been an award diorama club in school for a little while. 87 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,679 Speaker 1: We don't have to talk about it that. I believe 88 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: there was a club. There were more kids who did this. 89 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: I took chess lessons for a little while. Well to 90 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: talk about this chest. But chess is awesome, by the way. 91 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: Chess is great. Yes. Also if you've got like a 92 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: good spirit to drink is fantastic. So what was your 93 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: favorite diorama that you proposed? Oh, I was all about 94 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: World War two. I was. I was just I was 95 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: blown up Nazis with little bits of paint and take 96 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: your little pieces of plastic and stuff left and right. 97 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: I was all about World War two, blowing up the Nazis. 98 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: You know, because why not Sunday Sizzle with clay in 99 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: Buck a bit of general advice, and it is whenever 100 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: you see that there is a show with a ninety 101 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: plus percent audience score and sub fifty on the critics, 102 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: it's a show you want to see because it means 103 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: that everyone loves it, but the critics hated for some 104 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: reason that has nothing to do with whether or not 105 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: it's entertaining. And an example of this would be Clay. 106 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: Have you seen The Terminal List yet? I've heard it's great. No, 107 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: I have not. Have you watched it? I have watched 108 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: every episode of The Terminal List. Jack Carr is a friend. 109 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: I've known Jack for a few years. So explain, Explain 110 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: this show, because I bet there's a lot of our 111 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: audience that would like it. Explain this show for people 112 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: like me who know it exists but have no concept 113 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: of what it's about. So it's a The main character 114 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: is played by Chris Pratt, is a Navy seal named 115 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: James Reese who comes home after some special operations abroad. 116 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: They're ambush. I don't want to give much away, but 117 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: there's a sinister plot that goes to the heart of 118 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: the military industrial complex, and basically Chris Pratt is running 119 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 1: around taken out bad guys. Lots of the tactical sequences 120 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: are very well done. They bring in seals and people 121 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: with similar expertise so that the actual gun battles and 122 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: everything look really cool. I mean, they do a good 123 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: job with that as entertainment, but they they hate it 124 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: because there's there's no wokeness. Okay, there's no there's no 125 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: social like it's in that way. It's like Top Gun Maverick, 126 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: which has been in theaters for some odd seventy some 127 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: odd days and is now the most successful paramount movie 128 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: of all time. It passed Titanic, that's how successful it is. 129 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: But I mean, even that movie Clay, just to be fair, 130 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: who's the bad guy. It's like a make believe country 131 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: in Eastern Europe or something. I mean, you know, they work. Look, 132 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: they're going for the global market. I get it. And 133 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: apparently we don't make movies anymore. We're fighting other countries. 134 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: It wasn't woked. Even in the original Top Gus, we 135 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: didn't know who the bad guy was it was. I mean, 136 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: everyone assumed it was the Soviet Union, right with the 137 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: red star on the helmets. But um, yeah, I'm just 138 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: saying it's it wasn't woke. But it wasn't like it 139 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: wasn't Team America World Police either, you know what I mean. 140 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: It wasn't It wasn't going too hard with the stars 141 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: and stripes and the flag. But okay, but so so 142 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: Rotten Tomatoes ninety four percent audience score for this. Um, 143 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: it's a good show because one thing that Carrie and 144 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: I have been struggling with is we're trying to find 145 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: a show to watch that we can both enjoy together, 146 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: and it's you watch, you watch stuff and you go, am, 147 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: I is everything just green lit by the editorial team 148 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: at MSNBC. Now, I mean, it's all so, it's such trash, 149 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: it's so and ten years ago, I feel like Netflix 150 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: and HBO there was this golden age where they were 151 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: just making amazing program They're just making great series, you know, 152 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: whether Breaking Bed and Game of Thrones and Narcos, and 153 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: you know, they're making all these great shows. Now, of course, 154 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: the corporations that are behind all this or oh, we 155 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: want to be progressive and social justice and their show suck, 156 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: which is not surprising. But I will say, in fairness, 157 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: we did find one show that I A one movie 158 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: I should say that I would recommend to everybody. I 159 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: made Carrie watch this movie The Outfit a couple of 160 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: weeks ago. That wasn't really worth That was okay, it 161 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: was like a B minus. Wasn't woke, but just wasn't 162 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: really that good. It was okay. But we watched this 163 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: thirteen lives. Have you seen this? Are you familiar with 164 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: this one? It's about the tie youth boys. Oh yeah, yeah, 165 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: I was fascinated by that story. For everybody out there, 166 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: this was the soccer team that got caught in the 167 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: cave and they flooded and they weren't able to get out. 168 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: How is the Ron Howard made this one right? The 169 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: movie is excellent, highly highly watchable, really moves along. And 170 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 1: the way they film this that they originally as I 171 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: read a little bit about ex I was curious they 172 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: were actually trying to film a lot of it in 173 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: the caves, but they weren't able to do that for 174 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: reasons I don't even know now, so they moved that 175 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: I think to Queensland in North Australia, because obviously the 176 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: actual cave is in Thailand. But it's amazing. I'll say this, 177 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: there are a few things in the world that I 178 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 1: would find more terrifying than having to spend six hours 179 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: underwater five and a half six hours underwater in a 180 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: cave with fast moving currents where at some points the 181 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: cave is about shoulder width, so you've got darkness, claustrophobia, 182 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: the imminent prospect of death when you if you run 183 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: out of oxygen, or if you just you know, hit 184 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: your head and I mean there's any number. It is 185 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: really well all done. I've been trying to tell folks 186 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: about it. I remember that story. The story is even 187 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: more in anyways unbelievable and in the in the end 188 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: inspiring than I remembered it from the news reports. It's 189 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: crazy what they did to get there. I mean, not crazy, isn't. 190 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: I mean they should have done anything, but I mean 191 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: what they managed to pull off with those kids to 192 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 1: get them. I don't want to give it all away. 193 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: Is I think everybody knows the kids. Yeah, that's a 194 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: true story. That's right, because it's a true story. But 195 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: but yeah, that story was captivating to follow, and such 196 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: an ennobling story because every day you thought, oh, they're 197 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: going to find the kids and they're not going to 198 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: be alive. That was sort of the subtext of this 199 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: is a flooded cave. There's no way these kids are 200 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 1: going to have survived for this long. And when they 201 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: finally found them, then it's, oh, my goodness, how in 202 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: the world are we ever going to get them out 203 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: of here? And they managed to do it. Speaking of 204 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: the terminal list, I was there's an article up at OutKick, 205 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: one of our good writers that we hired recently David Hookstead. 206 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: If you haven't already, we had an incredible month. But 207 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: OutKick is kind of like Mona from Heaven if you're 208 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: a sports fan or just a fan of pop culture 209 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: and you think everything has gone woke. We've got a 210 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: good article about it that went up today about the 211 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: Terminal List. One point six billion minutes of viewership on Netflix. 212 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: Only show was the most recent show. Stranger Thing season 213 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: four is the only show that's beaten it in terms 214 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: of popularity. So I'll just point this out. Culture is 215 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: important in terms of what it's saying about what society 216 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: is interested in right now. Yellowstone is by far the 217 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: most popular show on television other than sports. Doesn't get 218 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: nominated for any Emmy's wildly popular Terminal List, evidently on Netflix, 219 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: insanely popular Top Gun, Maverick. What do all three of 220 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: those movies and or shows have in common? Relatively limited 221 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: woke material and or USA USA USA, right, That is 222 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: what they are overall selling is United States excellent. I mean, 223 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: and I think there's a huge demand for that. You 224 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: can tell very quickly in a lot of these shows. 225 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 1: I mean, to this point, Clay, I could even take 226 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: a I think there's a step even before that. What 227 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: you're talking about is the manifestation of or the way 228 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: that the show actually tells the story, right, is that 229 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: it focus in on those things. I think it really 230 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: also comes down to when they're sitting in the writer's room, 231 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: is the most important thing that they want to maintain, 232 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: entertain and engage the audience or is it that they 233 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: want to get a pat on the back for the 234 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 1: agenda and the messaging behind this, because I think you 235 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: see a lot of shows where they start with a 236 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: premise which is, oh, let's make this about you know, 237 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: let's make this about some left wing, woke agenda item 238 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: instead of is this going to be a good story? 239 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: Is this going to really bring people in? And you know, 240 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: you brought up what was the huge show that everyone's 241 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, why is it such a success? Similar 242 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: numbers I think to Yellowstone from years ago was The 243 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: Walking Dead? Right? And The Walking Dead's a show where 244 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: you take a graphic novel and you're just trying to 245 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: make the most engaging entertainment possible. There's some broader lessons 246 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: about parenting and you know, survival and other things in 247 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: their right, but overall, you're not getting a political lecture, 248 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: you know, with The Walking Dead, you're just watching something 249 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: that's meant to entertain you. Whenever they do that, their 250 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: success when they're giving you a lecture about walk politics. People. 251 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: Increasingly you're saying, I just don't want to watch this. Yep, 252 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: And I'll give you. I know, we got people who 253 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: listen in Hollywood, we got a big audience in la 254 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: I'll continue to give this out. If you want to 255 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: look like a genius and you want to have the 256 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: number one streaming show or the number one television show, 257 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: the number one show in America, turn on Daunted Courage 258 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 1: by Steven Ambrose, a phenomenal book about the Lewis and 259 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: Clark expedition. Turn it into a mini series, into a 260 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: I believe it would be a television event the likes 261 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: of which we have not seen twenty years. Right in 262 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: terms of a historical connection to America pro America, now 263 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: you can say Game of Thrones was a television event. 264 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: I love that show. Yeah, it's a fantastical show about 265 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: you know, about dragons and medieval times. Effectively, I'm talking 266 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: about something that is rooted in American history, that is 267 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: unabashedly patriotic that tells a triumphal story of an overwhelming 268 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: difficult and success. I'm sorry Clay to get this made. 269 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: The Meriwether Lewis is going to have to be a 270 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: gender fluid pan sexual and William William Clark is going 271 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: to have to go around begging forgiveness from the Native 272 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: peoples for the future, disrespect and betrayal of the of 273 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: the colonists. Even otherwise we make that show. Politics is 274 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: downstream of culture, which is a great quote from Andrew Brypard, 275 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: and I do think it's true if you're out there 276 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: and you're looking at what the political message is coming 277 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: through the cultural success stories out there, whether it's Terminal List, 278 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: whether it's Yellowstone, whether it is certainly, as you break 279 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: it down, how much demand there has been for Top 280 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: Gun Maverick, the most successful movie of all time from 281 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: Tom Cruise's history, it's because people want pro America, anti 282 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: woke programming and there isn't enough of it. Did you 283 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: see I know you're on vacation and you're having a 284 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: great time with the fan, which was very important. You've 285 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: come back rested in the fight, But did you happen 286 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: to catch because I see you sneaking on to Twitter 287 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: a little bit when you're on vacation. I still have 288 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: to manage out Kick. Yeah, I didn't do TV, I 289 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: didn't do radio, but I'm still managing our stories at 290 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: out So you probably saw that they had a ninety 291 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: million dollar right off with a completed film, girl. I mean, 292 00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: how now The thing is, I want to see that 293 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: movie so badly because they wrote down when they took over, 294 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: they three hundred million dollars CNN plus they said this 295 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: is an unmitigated disaster. It's done, and now ninety million 296 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: dollars batgirl. And you know how popular superhero movies are, 297 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: you could basically get one hundred million dollars. I would 298 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: think just by advertising a lot to get people to 299 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: come watch. A screenwriter or a producer making a superhero 300 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: movie and you lose basically one hundred million dollars on it, 301 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: you really should learn to code, like you should find 302 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: another profession you should would be equivalent to. It's a 303 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: great point. You're making a superhero movie. The studios are 304 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: all behind it. You almost cannot fail because there's such 305 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: demand for superhero movies. And they watched your superhero movie 306 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: and they said it was so bad, we're just going 307 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: to take a ninety million dollar right off. They didn't 308 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: even put it on the streaming service. That's one thing. 309 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: If they say, hey, this is not worthy of going 310 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: to the movie theaters. They said it's so bad that 311 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 1: they don't even want their brand associated with it. In 312 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: other fields, I'm not even sure I can think of 313 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,400 Speaker 1: an equivalent. I could just I could just see this though, 314 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 1: like like a Batgirl movie where Batgirl swoops in on 315 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: the bank robbers and they're like, hey, look at this, 316 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: Look at this. Broad, We're in a costume. She's like, 317 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: excuse me, sir, Broad, are you assuming my pronouns? Like 318 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: you could actually do a great send up of this thing. 319 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: I mean you could do a great there's a little 320 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: bit of send up of the overall culture that goes 321 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: on in Deadpool, which has been very popular as as 322 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: a movie. But buck think about all the people that 323 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: are cast in this movie. They're saying, Hey, this is 324 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: gonna be career altering for you. You can't go wrong. 325 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: You get into a superhero movie or the next Robert 326 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: Downey Junior. I can completely do the pitch that they 327 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: would have been getting in their Hollywood talent agencies and 328 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: then they get a call and they say, yeah, this 329 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 1: movie is so bad that even though we spent ninety 330 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: million dollars, we're basically just going to burn it. I 331 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: guarantee we could write a better screenplay than whenever that 332 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: was between the two of us in forty eight hours. Honestly, 333 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 1: that's that's why I want to see it. I feel 334 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: cond Sunday draw with Clay and Buck. Let's play a 335 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 1: little word game here, mister Clay, shall we. I think 336 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: you had mentioned recently what the word of the year 337 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: was according to what was a Miriam Webster. I think 338 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, So this is now a good way 339 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: for these various they used to be dictionary books, now 340 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: their websites. Basically, the Oxford English Dictionary and Online has 341 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: picked its word of the year for twenty twenty two. 342 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: And I will tell you I did not know what 343 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,360 Speaker 1: this was. So I am learning something new. I think 344 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: a lot of our audience will be learning something new 345 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: as well. The terms that it now it's also sometimes 346 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 1: a term more than a word. The terms or words 347 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: that it beat out were number two, number three. This 348 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 1: is all based on public polling. By the way, hashtag 349 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 1: I stand with which I don't even know. That's like, 350 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: I don't get why that's even in the running here, 351 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: but there must have been something that I missed and 352 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. But then everybody understands that though that's 353 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,239 Speaker 1: not very complicated, that's not complicated, and also that's not 354 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: particularly in the zeitgeist. Another fun word, another fun word, 355 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: metaverse was number two in this one, which we've all 356 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: we kind of you know, you think of like Zuckerberg 357 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: being a nerd with a headset on virtual reality or 358 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: buy into this metaverse stuff. I don't. No, yeah, well 359 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone does. Look at Facebook. Facebook stock 360 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 1: is tanked, but I just don't buy in that this 361 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: metaverse is that big of a thing. Sometimes I see 362 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: things like HD television, for instance. First time I saw 363 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: HD television, I was like, everybody's got to have this 364 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: put on three D television. I was like, I never 365 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: want to. So Carrie got for our home here, she 366 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 1: got a new TV. That is is it can turn 367 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 1: into artwork on the wall. This is amazing, Like it 368 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: turns into a painting and it actually kind of looks 369 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: like you get a frame for it now. But then 370 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: it's a super high quality televisions. I remember in college 371 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 1: having to get three of my friends to help me 372 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,719 Speaker 1: lug one of those TVs. Remember TV's used to be 373 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: like three feet deep. Yeah, I mean never mind how 374 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: big the screen was. And you'd go to some like, 375 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: you know, Bob's TV Store or whatever, and you'd need 376 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: like a couple of your frat brow buddies from the 377 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: football team to come over and help you. That thing 378 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: weighed like two hundred pounds and you carry it up 379 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: the stairs in your dorm room. And it was super 380 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: most expensive thing I ever bought in college was my TV. 381 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: I think, I think you know, it was probably I 382 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 1: can't remember now, maybe you've spent five hundred bucks on 383 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: a team I think got a big screen something like that. 384 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: So that was my biggest purchase. And the thing was huge. 385 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: I mean you could use it as a weapon in 386 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: a pinch, if you could just sort of roll it 387 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: down the stairs at somebody. Now you get these flat 388 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: screen TVs there seventy inches and it's like, oh yeah, doorstop, 389 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 1: I mean a you know Doorbuster on Black Friday. It's 390 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 1: like one hundred bucks. A TV that looks like it's 391 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: from Star Trek. Anyway, it's been amazing the change in 392 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: television quality over the years, and it just shows you 393 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: when the market there's allowed to do what it does, 394 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 1: it can do profit a lot of works. Yeah. The 395 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: word of the year though, is goblin mode. Had you 396 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: ever heard of goblin mode before? This is the word 397 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: of the year according to the Oxford eng Most Dictionary. 398 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: The only thing I can think of is that it 399 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 1: is a you know, video game phrase, right, is that right? 400 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: It's a term that refers to a type of behavior 401 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: which is unapologetically self indulgent, lazy, slovenly, or greedy. It 402 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: goes back to Beast mode, which is from the nineteen 403 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: eighty eight Sega video game Altered Beast, which I gotta 404 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: say I loved that game. That game back in the 405 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: arcade Remember when arcades were a thing. You'd go to 406 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: Arcade and pump coins in and Altered East instead. There 407 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: is uh yeah, there's some connection to video gaming. I'm 408 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: not even really sure what it is, but goblin mode 409 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 1: is basically, you know, you didn't really have this because 410 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: you lived in the Free State of Tennessee during the pandemic. 411 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 1: I mean there were times, Clay when I would sort 412 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 1: of like wake up in a haze on the couch 413 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: during lockdown, and I was like, oh, like, maybe I'm 414 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: gonna take some cheetos and mix them in with the 415 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: pad tie that's on my chest, you know, like you 416 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: just that's goblin mode. I think, yeah, we didn't have 417 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: goblin mode. The word that I have heard, and I 418 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 1: don't know it's a word. Have you heard the phrase 419 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: in PC? It's a video game related phrase, nonplayable character. 420 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: It's like somebody in the background who was moving around 421 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: like as part of the video game. My boys used 422 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: like Joe Biden, like he's there but not doing it. 423 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: Joe Biden would be an NPC president. Non playable character, 424 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: I think is what it stands for. They use the 425 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: phrase NPC all the time to describe like things that 426 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: are going on video game world that I would I've 427 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: never heard of that before. Non playable character. It's a 428 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 1: big deal now for the kids. Evidently, Sunday hang with 429 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck. There are some areas Clay where I 430 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: can assert a degree of uncredential but absolute expertise. I 431 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: have the equivalent in my mind, at least of a PhD. 432 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,959 Speaker 1: In action movies. I grew up, I had VHS tapes 433 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: that I watched until they were falling. Apart of all 434 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: the Schwarzenegger movies, all the all the the Stallone movies, 435 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: I was more of a Schwarzeneger guy. I'm gonna be honest, 436 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: but you know, Young Guns with him, I find Emilio 437 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: Esteves one of the finest movies of the eighties. His 438 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: finest a very underrated western for what it is, also 439 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 1: really good. Both of those are Young Guns was an 440 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 1: excellent franchise. I think there was there a third one 441 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: I remember now, but remember there was a third, but 442 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 1: also all the all the various martial arts action movies, 443 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 1: you know Van Dam. I celebrated Van Dam's whole catalog, 444 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: and he's a very interesting character, as we see later 445 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: on in life. I bring all of this up because 446 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: Jennifer Lawrence, Jennifer Lawrence has come out to say that 447 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: she was the first and you know, like, isn't she 448 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 1: from Is she from Nashville? What's with all these novel 449 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: I believe, Oh, Louisville. Okay, I thought she's a Kentuckian. Yeah, 450 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: so he's a Kentucky so close close by, so you know, 451 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: you have to take you and your folks here in 452 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: that region have to take responsibility than all responsibility for 453 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: sec state. She manigans. I think that's fair. Yeah, she 454 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: you know, because she's lovely, but her politics not so good. 455 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: She spoke out in an interview in Variety and she said, 456 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: um that she was nobody ever put this is the quote, 457 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: Nobody ever put a woman in the lead of an 458 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: action movie because it wouldn't work, because we were told 459 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: girls and boys can both identify with the male lead, 460 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: but boys cannot identify with a female lead. I'm sorry, 461 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: but Ripley from Alien and Aliens would like to have 462 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: a word among other female Actually, I'm sorry Linda Hamilton 463 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: in Terminator one. In Terminator two. You know, if you're 464 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 1: gonna mouth off and try to get social justice points 465 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: or whatever wokeness points, don't don't make it so easy 466 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 1: for us, you know what I mean. Come on, it's 467 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: also disappointing. I would say only in the context of 468 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 1: if you are a movie buff, to say nothing of 469 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: a movie star, you would think you would have seen 470 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: Aliens in Terminator because they're two of the most iconic 471 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: films of that of the set. I think Aliens is 472 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: one of the one of the ten best action movies 473 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: of that of that period. Honestly, I think Aliens Aliens 474 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: come out like eighty one. Oh and no Alien came out, 475 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 1: I think idiot. I think Aliens was later, like eighty 476 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 1: five or eighty six, but the team can check for us. 477 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 1: But yeah, nineteen, I was thinking even made maybe late seventies. 478 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,719 Speaker 1: But both of those are nineteen eighties or late seventies 479 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 1: iconic films, right, um, And to not be familiar with 480 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: those is embarrassing for Jennifer Lawrence, who seems totally normal. 481 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: And also simultaneously, oh, Alien didn't come out until nineteen 482 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: eighty six, okay, so that was like later than I thought. 483 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not a I'm not a Quentin Tarantino fan, 484 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: for example, Like I don't like most of them. Yes, 485 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: Uma Thurman in Kill Bill, Kill Bill, I think is 486 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: actually his most watchable movie for what it is. And uh, 487 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: and Kill Bill, Uma Thurman is excellent. That Laura Croft 488 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,919 Speaker 1: Laura as in Missus Travis Laura Croft the tomb Raider movies. 489 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many, it's just but this thing 490 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: even she's made Clay, She's made tens of millions of dollars, 491 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: and you know, she's won, she won the genetics lottery. 492 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 1: She's quite lovely and you know, physically, and she's got 493 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 1: a whine and complaint and make it seem like women 494 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: have it so hard in films. Really, that's where we're going. Now, 495 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: give me a break, let me clarify this, because we're 496 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: gonna get blown up. Alien came out in nineteen seventy nine, 497 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: Aliens came out in nineteen eighty six, which I believe 498 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: was the sequel, right, so Ripley nineteen eighty nine, the 499 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: original Alien, and I think also Aliens one of the 500 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: best sequels of all time, up there with Terminator two 501 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: The Godfather too. Aliens is an enhancement to the franchise. 502 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 1: Unfortunately it went substantially downhill from there. I'm still trying 503 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 1: to think about all the different women action leads. They've 504 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: actually been so many of them. It's a willful ignorance. 505 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: And also, I would say this, I don't know who 506 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 1: did the interview and who did the story, but this 507 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: is also an example of just totally if you're writing 508 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 1: about movies. When she said that as the interviewer, there 509 00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: should have been some pushback and there should have been like, 510 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: well know, Sigourney Weaver, pretty big deal. Uh and uh 511 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: and you're kind of stepping on Linda Hamilton and what 512 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: she did a terminator. Those are big female led action movies. 513 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 1: I mean for some some folks may even remember from 514 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: the Conan the Barbarian era Red Sonja, which I think 515 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: was a B movie. But she's swinging a sword around 516 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: and stuff. Hey, I was a big he man guy. 517 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: They did bring out Shira to try to appeal to all, 518 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: and they made a movie about it too. I think 519 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: wasn't there was it the Bionic Man or the Bionic Woman? 520 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: Or was there both? I think they did both. I 521 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: think they did both too. So this this is dato. 522 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. But every Clay, it's not enough to be 523 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: rich and famous. You have to also be beloved for 524 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: your political stances these days, which is just a shame. 525 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: Do your kids, by the way, the boys do they 526 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: like the Hunger Games? Is that a thing still? The 527 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: people read we haven't watched any of the Hunger Games. 528 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: I think those are to be fair like kind of 529 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: r rated, aren't they. I mean they're pretty I think 530 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: so I'm having the Hunger Games right now. I'm pretty hungry. 531 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a sandwich. That's not a bad move. 532 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: And it's pretty good movie, by the way, Hunger Games 533 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: at this disappointing because I liked Jennifer Lawrence in that film. 534 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: Sundays with Clay and Buck. The Sumbus nineteen forty one, 535 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: a date which will live in infamy. United States of 536 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval Alaya forces 537 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: of the Empire of Japan. So that was FDR as 538 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: today is Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, eighty one years ago, 539 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: the attack on Pearl Harbor happened, was conducted against this 540 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: nation and brought about an unprecedented scale of military mobiliza 541 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: here at home. My own grandfather on my maternal side 542 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: served on the USS Batan and he which was an 543 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: aircraft carrier in the early days of aircraft carriers. And 544 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: he didn't talk about life in the Pacific Theater very 545 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: often at all. Occasionally he would relay stories he went on. 546 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: He was involved in construction and real estate later on 547 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: in life, and actually did a lot of charity work. 548 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: There's a foundation name for him, the Lawrence F. Hickey Foundation, 549 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: that helps underprivileged children and so he did a lot 550 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: of that. He didn't speak very often about his time 551 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,239 Speaker 1: in the Pacific Theater, but toward the very end, and 552 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: I remember I came back from Afghanistan in my capacity 553 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: as a as a CIA four deployed CIA analyst, and 554 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: I had gotten a there are a lot of things 555 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 1: you'd bring back, carpets that was very obviously very common. 556 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: I brought back some other souvenirs, uh, you know, these 557 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: curved tribal knives, things like that. But I brought him 558 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: a blanket. So I just remember sitting and listening to him, 559 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: and this was his last his last years before he passed, 560 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: and he would have this blanket across his knees which 561 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: I had gotten for him in Afghanistan, and occasionally, out 562 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: of nowhere, he would just start to say, you know, 563 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: the the kamakazis just kept coming. And I didn't sleep 564 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: for a week. And I think he was at I 565 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 1: think his aircraft carrier, I have to come back and 566 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: check was at Laty Gulf. I think it was at 567 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: Battle of I think I have I can't remember off 568 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: the top of my head, but he was in some 569 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: there were some major engagements that carry was involved in, 570 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: and his carrier was I know, hit by Kamikazi's a 571 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: few times, a couple of times, I think at least, 572 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: and he would talk about it. It's just it's something 573 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: where today you think about how would we react as 574 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: a country to something like that if that were to 575 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: occur Right now? I mean, you could say, well, nine 576 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: to eleven, that's the closest thing we'd had to it. 577 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: But nine to eleven was I mean, the nine eleven 578 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: we had a lot of people that joined up to 579 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: serve after that. We had our volunteer military in place 580 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: when nine eleven happened. We didn't have a draft, right, 581 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: we had a volunteer military, the finest fighting for us 582 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: in the history of the world, that was called to 583 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: arms after nine eleven. And I do wonder today if 584 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: you did have a situation where there was a general 585 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: call up, how would that how would that go? What 586 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: would that look like? We know that the media, for example, 587 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: spends a lot of time comparing the riot on January sixth, 588 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 1: where there were people taking selfies and some of them 589 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: being escorted in cordial and polite fashion by members of 590 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill Police, some of them, some of them obviously 591 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: we're breaking things and being violent. But others were just 592 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: almost doing a self guided tour of the capitol. Trespassing. Yes, 593 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: but they compare that to Pearl Harbor in the media, 594 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: they'll say it was like and actually they'll say it's 595 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: worse than Pearl Harbor. There is really a psychosis and 596 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: a disconnect from reality that comes up now from the left, 597 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: from the Democrats in this country. And I just don't 598 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: think they're ready. I don't think that they can psychologically handle. 599 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: If we were ever to get into a big fight again, 600 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 1: I think the blame America first chorus would be very 601 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: loud from the left. I think we would run into 602 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: a whole lot of problems. And I'll leave you with this. 603 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: This is from Donald Stratton's book All the Gallant Men 604 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: he wrote, which is about his service in World War Two. 605 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 1: We were ordinary men. Was extraordinary was the country we loved. 606 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 1: We loved who she was, what she stood for. We 607 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: loved her for what she meant to us and for 608 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 1: what she had given to us, even in those meager 609 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:12,320 Speaker 1: times he had served on the USS Arizona. So, my friends, 610 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 1: it's a time of actual remembrance today, and it's worth 611 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: taking the moment to reflect on it,
