1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Bold, reverence, and occasionally random. The Sunday Hang with Playing

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: Buck podcast starts now. Our good friend Beyonce supposedly took

3
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: twenty four million dollars to perform in the Middle East,

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: despite the fact that she has been ridiculing everyone out

5
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: there for not being woken up in the United States. Buck,

6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: I just want to know, Clay, are you somebody who

7
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: celebrates Beyonce's whole catalog of songs? Or you like me

8
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: and get everyone mad at you apparently because you think

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: good but overrated. I don't have a strong I understand

10
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: some people are like totally in love with Beyonce. I

11
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,599
Speaker 1: don't really have a strong opinion on her. Like Rihanna

12
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: is playing at the at the Super Bowl, and I

13
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: like Rihanna more than Beyonce. Right, Like, if you told

14
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: me you can pick five songs, and I'm not talking

15
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: about the entire catalog, because I'm not one of these

16
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: people who sits around and watches or listens to entire catalog.

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: But if you told me you can pick five songs

18
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: from either Rihanna or Beyonce, I would go Rihanna and

19
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: so Rihanna, I'm gonna be out in Arizona doing the

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: show because Fox has a Super Bowl this year. Rihanna

21
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: is the halftime performer, and I'm actually kind of excited

22
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: to see how Rihanna's halftime performance might go. So would

23
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: probably I don't know if we've unleased a whirlwind there

24
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: with that take. Are they gonna like wheel out the

25
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: Rolling Stones again? You know, is better than Beyonce. If

26
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: you're Auntie, I like Taylor Swift better than Beyond. I

27
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: would probably say Taylor Swift. If I were power ranking singers,

28
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: you know, women singers in the last twenty years, I'd

29
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: probably put Taylor Swift at my number one seed. Who

30
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: would you put number one? The greatest in my lifetime?

31
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: I would say Whitney Houston. And but in just a

32
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: singer or like do you really like that many Whitney

33
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: Houston songs? Like are you running around like listening to

34
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: the Bodyguard while you work out? Excuse me? I will

35
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: rock out to I'm every Woman whenever that comes off

36
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: a great song. Did you see the that there was

37
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: supposedly a transgender uproar about the song natural Woman being

38
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: unacceptable to them? Well, I know that wasn't it. Who

39
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: was it that? Did Shania Twain man, I feel like

40
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: a woman. I believe you're not allowed to play that

41
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: song anymore. Really, yeah, I think there's comments into the

42
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: transgender community. Yes, well, I think because she didn't she

43
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: didn't feel like a woman. Maybe she or you know,

44
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: one doesn't feel like a woman. One either is or

45
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: is not based upon feelings, but we're not allowed to

46
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: talk about that. That is um. When they started canceling

47
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: Baby it's cold outside, I was like, literally, they're canceling everything.

48
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: Here's well, you didn't even plan on this, But do

49
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: you still enjoy Michael Jackson music. I have gone back

50
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: and forth with people on this many times. I think

51
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson is now. I think the legacy is so

52
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: tainted that it feel that it actually feels. And that's

53
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: a very high bar for me with artists meeting like

54
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: you have to be. It has to be really bad

55
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 1: for the art to be so tainted by the person,

56
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: you know. I still think The Pianist, for example, is

57
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: a fantastic movie or The Pianist, um, But obviously if

58
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: you know about the director, you know, you might have.

59
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: But I don't even know about the director. Oh yeah,

60
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: like I mean like Kevin Spacey, I would not enjoy

61
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: um and Bill Cosby, right, there are lots of people

62
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: out there that have been uh certainly, Uh, I think

63
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: I think Cosby is. I think Cosby is at that

64
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: same level. Like you couldn't enjoy the Cosby Show now,

65
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: like you'd think twice about it. Bill think it's like

66
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: cutting the cutting the cake and stealing a piece, or

67
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: like I can't, I can't watch this anymore. I'm willing

68
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: to put aside as much as I can to enjoy

69
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: art for what it is and not take the politics

70
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: or the history of the individual into account too much.

71
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: But I do think that there's a line. And look,

72
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: I think Michael Jackson has one of the greatest song catalogs,

73
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: certainly of the modern era, and just in terms of

74
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: the the tunes themselves. I think it's I think it's

75
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: hard these days too, you know, would would anyone go

76
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: to there used to be like Michael Jackson theme nights

77
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: at a bar that I know, I mean, I'll give

78
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: you one that I'm that I'm deciding right now. Uh.

79
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: Sark to Sol has a Michael Jackson performance, you know.

80
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: Sarcle has like eight different Michael Jordan's Michael Jackson performances.

81
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: And my kids love Michael Jackson songs like they grew

82
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: up listening to to those songs, and we're gonna be

83
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: in I'm doing the show to Thursday and Friday in

84
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: Vegas because the kids have a dance competition that they're in,

85
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: and I was thinking like, hey, maybe maybe I'll take

86
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: them to the mic because how much kids stuff is

87
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: there in Vegas. So I think, by the way, that's

88
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think. I'm not sure. I'm

89
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: not sure. I think that's a tough one for me.

90
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: Uh you know, you're you're you're the dad, so you've

91
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: got you've got dad hours in, you've got experience making

92
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: these your kids. At what age do you sit them

93
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: down and be like, hey, there are sexual assault allegations

94
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: against Michael Jackson. You know, do I sit down my

95
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: eight year old and explain that he can't like bad

96
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: because it's yeah, it's all allegations, as we know. I mean,

97
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: they're rape allegations against miners. So it's about as heinous

98
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: and serious a crime as as can be committed. So

99
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: that's I will say. If we're creating a standard here

100
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: for when you can I think if it doesn't cross

101
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: the line into criminality. I think I can. I'm usually

102
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: okay with it, and I think it doesn't cross. Yes, no, No.

103
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is, you know, if somebody's really like

104
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: Tim Robbins, I love the Shawshank redemption. Even though Tim

105
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: Robbins might have the most annoying politics on the planet,

106
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: there are some others that are like. But like, I

107
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: could separate that stuff if you get a duy or

108
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: you know, the kind of crimes that you know, normal

109
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: people were imperfect. Once you get into you know, anything

110
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: like murder, you would take Michael Jackson off your like

111
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: if you had an iPad playlist or whatever you is

112
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: on none of my Spotify playlist right now? What about

113
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: to sing about your fiance? What about Kerry? I'd have

114
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: to ask her. I don't Yeah, I mean, actually, I'm

115
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: generally curious. I know that she finds Taylor Swift's politics

116
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 1: so annoying that she's Nope, not on the t Swift train. Yeah. Well,

117
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: I like Taylor Swift even though her politics are awful.

118
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: And I would go see a concert if he didn't

119
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: have to pay twenty thousand dollars to go see a

120
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: concert of Taylor Swift. But we had to make this

121
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: decision during because the documentary on Michael Jackson came out

122
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: and we on the morning radio show, my sports talk

123
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: radio show, we played a lot of different music, same

124
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: thing with R Kelly. Now R Kelly, because he's still

125
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: alive and can't and was found guilty, I can be like, Okay,

126
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: I don't need to here trapped in a closet Episode

127
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: forty seven. But Michael Jackson, I feel like, because he

128
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: died and he wasn't able to defend himself for those documentaries,

129
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: he was never found guilty in a court of law,

130
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 1: which his defenders are always going to bring up, and

131
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: you know, they'll say, what about the presumption of innocence?

132
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: The presumption of innocence as it now? I mean, I'm

133
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: I don't find their case persuasive, but I'm just saying

134
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: this is the case at that I think that That's

135
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: kind of what I'm going through my head right now

136
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: with the circus lay in Vegas, because there's a lot

137
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 1: of things for kids that are wildly inappropriate in Vegas.

138
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: So I was like, Okay, what things out there could

139
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: the kids go see? And I'm like, oh, the Michael

140
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: Jackson circus la. But do I have to sit down

141
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: with my twelve year old at what age do you

142
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: have the conversation about the allegations against Michael Jackson with

143
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: your kids? Even like a circus back in the day.

144
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, circus l a Circus of the Sun,

145
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: but even the old school circus, which you would think

146
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: would be among the most family friendly fair possible, right,

147
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, the this kid to the like traveling circus back. Oh,

148
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: but people get very I don't think there are traveling

149
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: circuses anymore. I think what I'm saying lay, people get

150
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: very upset about the circus as an enslavement of animals

151
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: that is inherently abusive because of the travel and the

152
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: close quarters and the the training they go through. So

153
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: even the old school animal circus, A lot of people,

154
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people can they ban the circus Because

155
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: my oldest is about to turn fifteen, and I took

156
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: him when he was three or four. So this is

157
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: something that's happened in the last decade, Like you can't

158
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: go to a circus anymore in the United States. Yeah,

159
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: they don't even rights because the animal rights activists are

160
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: one they're well, yeah, get they get very they get

161
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: very look. I mean, an elephant doesn't really want to

162
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: be whipped and told to sit on a stool. I

163
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: will say I think that they're I think that they're

164
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: onto something with this. And also that the quarters. It's

165
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: not like they're in the Bronx zoo and some massive

166
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: environmental enclosure that's supposed to look and mimic like their

167
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: natural habitat. They're moving around in rail cars basically. So no,

168
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: I know, if the logic applies for the circus, I

169
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: would think it would apply for a zoo too, right,

170
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: because nobody would prefer to be in enclosed Yeah, Clay,

171
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: that's the next that's the next level. Gosh, we're gonna

172
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: get sponsored by pet if this keeps up. People think

173
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: that zoos unless it's a specialized breeding program to keep

174
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: an animal or a semi domesticated animal, people have a

175
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: lot of problems with zoos too in the animal animal

176
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: welfare community. So I just come across this stuff because

177
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: I love dogs a lot, and when you talk to

178
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: like dog lovers, you know, and you see what they're what,

179
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: they're also supporting a lot of time online they'd be like, oh,

180
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: we need to end zoos. You're like whoa. I thought

181
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: zoos were the good games aggressive. I mean, I don't

182
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: know what they would do with all the animals in

183
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: the zoo. Would they release them back into the wild

184
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: to immediately be killed because they've been living in captivity forever.

185
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what you do with them all. See,

186
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: that's also the problem is that, Okay, I mean, I

187
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: guess it's better to be you know, it's better to

188
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: be out there. You know, there are housecats and there

189
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: are wildcats, right, but if you're a wildcat, you know,

190
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: the neighborhood, the neighborhood mutt might get a hold of you.

191
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: And if you're out there on the on the planes

192
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: of you know, the jungles of the Amazon or the

193
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: planes of Africa, you get eaten real fast. So yeah,

194
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of survival of the fittest

195
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: skills coming out of the zoo. I would also almost

196
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: guarantee you that where I live in the Red States,

197
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: they are never shutting down zoos. And actually there were

198
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: be a huge business advantage because if the Blue States

199
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: started shutting down all their zoos, all the Blue state

200
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: people would travel to the Red States to take their

201
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: kids to the zoo. You know, you know how you're

202
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: a Civil War NERD because you went to Civil War camp. Yes,

203
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: I went to Bronx Zoo camp, Clay, So this has

204
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: been in me for a long time. I went to

205
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: a camp at a zoo where we just walked around

206
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: and we actually got to like a hold and there's

207
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: a Bronx Zoo and a Central Park Zoo. Like, yeah,

208
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: the Central Park Zoo is like really a place where

209
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: you have cocktails while you watch the seals splash around.

210
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: It's very small, it's very kind of it's the Bronx

211
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: Zoo is a big zoo. Like the Bronx Zoo is

212
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: a massive, you know, massive complex with you know, a

213
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: whole other level. It's more I think like the San

214
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: Diego Zoo, I think is a really tremendous zoo. But

215
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe Sunday hang with Clay Buck. You

216
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: hear the music as we are coming in from the

217
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: break there. That is the top Gun primary soundtrack song,

218
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: and it has been nominated for Best Picture along with Avatar,

219
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: Buck's Favorite, which has now gone over two billion dollars worldwide.

220
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: Avatar has sixth highest grossing movie of all time. Now,

221
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: admittedly they don't adjust that for inflation. But buck win

222
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: important Avatar question. Yes, Zavatar one was trash and I'll

223
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: follow my sword. I don't care. It's just never never

224
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: got a budge on this one. It's a garbage movie.

225
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: I know it made a bajillion dollars, but it's a

226
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: garbage movie. Did they charge twenty dollars? Is this the

227
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: three D thing again where they're charging people's special free D?

228
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: But they definitely put it on imax. I watched it

229
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: out in Park City with my kids, and we were

230
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: in a state what I would call a standard, you know,

231
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: like movie theater, and you know, the cost was normal.

232
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: But that's why when they say, like the highest grossing

233
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: movies of all time, it should totally be inflation adjusted,

234
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: because certainly we're talking about ten percent inflation. I don't

235
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: know how much movie ticket prices have gone up lately,

236
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: but it costs way more to go to a movie

237
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three than it did in nineteen thirty three.

238
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: I think so comparing that, I remember, the wind is

239
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: not that fair. Yeah, I remember going to movies with

240
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: my parents in New York City growing up, and it

241
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: was like seven dollars for adults, and then they raised

242
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: it to nine dollars. It was like, oh man, that's

243
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: getting expensive. I rarely, if ever, go to movies these days.

244
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: It's like a once a year or every other year

245
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: event for me. I feel like I've been to movie

246
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: theaters where it's like twenty five dollars a person, you know,

247
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: and if you get some popcorn and some sodas going

248
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: to the movie, you'll run you one hundred bucks for

249
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: a family or four. It definitely has gotten way more expensive.

250
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: We go to the movies quite a bit with the kids. Like,

251
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: I'm looking at these movies, the Oscar's best pictures. I

252
00:12:54,080 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: have seen Top Gun, I've seen Avatar. Did you see Elvis?

253
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: I've heard Elvis is not bad? And did you watch

254
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: All Quiet on the Western Front? Didn't you say? That

255
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: was on Netflix? It is excellent. It's nominate Excellent Picture too.

256
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: I heard it was good. Yeah that after any of

257
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: you who you know think you know enjoy a very good,

258
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: very realistic war movie. All Quiet on the Western Front

259
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: is really exceptional. And then my wife ordered the bandshees

260
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: of Insuring or I don't even know how you pronounce that. Initially,

261
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: oh it was awful, I mean, I like almost all movies.

262
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: This was the most depressing, awful movie that I've seen

263
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: in a long time. I don't like to be a hater,

264
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: so that's why I love to give credit where it's due.

265
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: The Top Gun movie is amazing. I hope it wins

266
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: Best Picture that way. I think Reinvigorate make it the

267
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: best picture. A lot of people just the notion of

268
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: a great, super entertaining, well made movie that everyone can

269
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: love and that is not meant to be a lecture

270
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: on some political issue of the moment. So I would

271
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: love that for Top Gun. I think that All Quiet

272
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: on the Western Front is amazing. I don't mean to

273
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: be nasty, but I just think Colin Farrell is the

274
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: maybe the most overrated actor of our generation. I've never

275
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: seen him in anything where I didn't think he made

276
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: this movie kind of worse, and I thought he was

277
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: actually pretty good. It was just the most awful. Did

278
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: anybody else on the show in the background here see

279
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: the band? She did? Anyone like this movie? You could tweet?

280
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: Tried to have a Sexton family movie night with this one.

281
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: I played, you know, with my parents and Carrie and

282
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: my brothers. We played the trailer and everybody was like, nah,

283
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: not doing it. It was the right call. I mean,

284
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: it was so depressing. It was awful. There's people chopping

285
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: their fingers off, I mean, and like I had to

286
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: go pick up my kid halfway through, and Laura and

287
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: I were watching it and she was like, you want

288
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: me to pause it. I was like, just watch it

289
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: if you want to. I'm out. I was actually glad

290
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: to have to go drive and pick up one of

291
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: my kids. That's how bad it was. So so you

292
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: want obviously, Top Gun? Is there anything else on the lift?

293
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: I mean, the everything everywhere all at once with eleven

294
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: oscar nomine I have been soaked. I've tried to get

295
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: carried to sit through that movie with me, or to

296
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: start that movie. It's these several times oddsmakers expect it

297
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: to be the Best picture, and I'll just say that

298
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: every time we've tried, we look at the trailer and

299
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: it just looks so strange that we've we've kind of

300
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: bailed at the last minute. So I just I think

301
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: it would be a huge statement if Hollywood would put

302
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: Top Gun Maverick in the Best Picture seat, because nobody

303
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: watches the Oscars anymore because by and large, a lot

304
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: of people haven't seen these movies, and they reward like

305
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: these usually very left wing, like you know, not very

306
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: enjoyable films. And so I feel like if they gave

307
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: Top Gun Maverick the Best Picture, yes, all the movie

308
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: purist would be upset. But I think it was like

309
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: Titanic won Best Picture, like twenty five years ago. Right,

310
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: It used to be in our youth that the movie

311
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: that was just the most awesome movie of the year

312
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: a lot of the time won the best one Best

313
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: picture that was a thing theater like, it was not

314
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: uncommon Gladiator like You're You're right, like movies that people

315
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: genuinely went and see and liked one pretty regularly. In

316
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: the last ten years, it has been like the Wokeness

317
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: Awards for a lot of the Oscars. I mean, they

318
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: come up with movies that went I've never even heard

319
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: of these movies. But you're right, if they want to

320
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: make it relevant again, how about pick a movie that's

321
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: relevant to people, as in they go see it. Because

322
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: Tom Cruise is never one best actor. If you're the

323
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: greatest actor of your generation, shouldn't you win Sundays with

324
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: Clay and Buck Buck, I don't know if you've ever

325
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: been on this ride, but if you wonder how woke

326
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: all of our world has become. Disney World down in

327
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: Florida has shut down an amusement park ride, Splash Mountain

328
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: that is one of the most popular es, maybe the

329
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: most popular ride currently at disney World. Yesterday was the

330
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: last day that it was open because they have decided

331
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: that the ride is racist. I'm not making this up,

332
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: and I know probably a huge percentage of you out

333
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: there with your kids, or your grandkids or as you

334
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: were growing up, have been on this ride. It is

335
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: a water ride. I'll describe it this way. If you

336
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: have been ever down in Florida when it is ninety

337
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: degrees with one hundred percent humidity and you are walking

338
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: around in disney World, this is a long water ride

339
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: that is air condition that ends with you being able

340
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: to get a little bit of water on you, sometimes

341
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: more than that. But it's like a you know, the

342
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: log ride where you come down at the end with

343
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: a big drop, and it's based on brear rabbit, brear bear.

344
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: Like all of these Joel Chandler Harris Uncle Remus stories

345
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: from the eighteen hundreds, which were wildly popular originated. I

346
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: read all about it at the Atlanta Journal Constitution. The

347
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: movie Song of the South, which a lot of you

348
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,239
Speaker 1: probably have heard, Zippity Duda zippitya. It's a fine I mean,

349
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 1: it's one of the most popular Disney songs out there

350
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: comes out of that movie was made in the nineteen forties.

351
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 1: Disney has decided, based on some tiny cadre of complainers,

352
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: that they are shutting down the ride. It's going to

353
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: take I believe years to remake it, and they are

354
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: going to remake it now based on this Princess Tiana

355
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: and the Toad movie. And it just makes me want

356
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: to pull my hair out in fury that we are

357
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: now deciding that amusement park rides are racist and have

358
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: to be removed, even though there is I will tell

359
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: you this buck not one single iota of racist thought

360
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 1: that would possibly come out a white, Black, Asian or

361
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: Hispanic people who have ridden this ride. Ever, so I've

362
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: never I've never been on this. I think my parents

363
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: would they could fill me in on this. I think

364
00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: they took me to Disney World when I was like

365
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: I am. Basically we were a Disney World family. We

366
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: would go camp. This is what my parents wanted to do.

367
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 1: On vacation, we would stay at Fort Wilderness. So I

368
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: grew up going to Disney World, and I've obviously taken

369
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: my kids there. Well, that sounds great. My dad used

370
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: to take us into like the middle of the north

371
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: Woods in like Minnesota, Canada area, and we would do

372
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: portages where we would carry our packs and our canoes

373
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: for like three miles at a time. And I had

374
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: blisters the size of my palm on my feet. And

375
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm like twelve years old. That was my vacation. So

376
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: not really, you know, I would have liked Disney World.

377
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: I'll just put that out there. But anyway, I don't know.

378
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: So do you remember I have no recollection. See my

379
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: question about this is one. Couldn't they have just have

380
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: made some adjustments to the ride or is it just

381
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: the fact that they're like, we're there are things that

382
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: were considered insensitive or racist that happened during the ride,

383
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: or was it just the association when are you just

384
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 1: on a log that goes into water? Yes, that is right,

385
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: you were on a log that goes into water. It

386
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: is the association of brear rabbit who came out of

387
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: these eighteen eighties. You know African American folk tale, it's

388
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: actually black history, right. So these were oral folk tales

389
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: which were shared in the South, and they were written

390
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: up by Joel Chandler Harris and attributed I believe to

391
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: Uncle Remus in the eighteen eighties. So these were African

392
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: American folklore stories about Brey Rabbit, who was a smart

393
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: guy like and his hijinks compared to other farm and

394
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 1: wildlife right. And so I guarantee you there is not

395
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: a single human alive who has ever gone through on

396
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: this ride and thought, oh, this is racist. So they're

397
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: shutting it down now. For years, there was buck like

398
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: a four or five hour wait because so many people

399
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: are upset about this ride changing because it's been there

400
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: for like twenty five or thirty years now, and there

401
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: are a lot of people who have the experience over

402
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: that time of going through with their family, of experiencing it,

403
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: and now they're doing all too often what happens at

404
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 1: Disney and other entertainment companies. A few woke activists complain

405
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: about this. So they're shutting it down now for years

406
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: and you're not going to be able to ride this

407
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: ride ever again. They're they're canceling an amusement park ride

408
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: because they think it's racist. I think that the era

409
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: of amusement parks in general is not has passed. I remember,

410
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: like the late nineties, especially when the weather was good.

411
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: Remember Six Flags? Great? Did you with Six Flags? Their

412
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: Adventure a thing used to see ads for because that

413
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 1: was up in the north and they had one in Atlanta.

414
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: I think it's still open there. I would occasionally go there,

415
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: and there were always The whole thing was to these rides.

416
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: It's like you may not make it out alive, which

417
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: now I'd be like, good heavens, that sounds that sounds risky.

418
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: But you know these rides where it's like, oh my gosh,

419
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: it's so scary and extreme. I'm not an amusement park guy,

420
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: especially because the notion of anything that involves spinning around

421
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: or getting dizzy. There was something at Rye Playland which

422
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: I used to go to when I was a camp

423
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: counselor and I went to a camp for years before

424
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: that in the New York area and we would have

425
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: one day a year in the summer we'd go to

426
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: Rye plan There was something called the Brains Scrambler, and

427
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 1: you were moving in a circle, a big circle in

428
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: like sort of four people, almost like a flying saucer.

429
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: And the flying saucer was spinning sore spins, a double spins,

430
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: spinning and spinning. This to me, I forget about water boarding.

431
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: I would tell anybody anything but this. I don't know

432
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: why any would pays for this, enjoys this to me,

433
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. I'm a I'm a boring fellow.

434
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: I like my creature comfort, so I like as a dad,

435
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: and my wife would say the same. In Florida, even recently,

436
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 1: I was at Universal Studios, I was at Sea World.

437
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: I took the boys and we went to the Magic Kingdom,

438
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: which is disney World, and I do to find it

439
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: to be really enjoyable. And I understand from a business

440
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: perspective that you constantly have to be updating the park, right,

441
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: so rides get outdated. Rides are no longer popular. But

442
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: they're shutting down at disney World, probably the single most

443
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: popular ride at the Magic Kingdom, not based on lack

444
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: of interest, but because they have decided that the ride

445
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: is racist. And I just think it's everything that's wrong

446
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: with our society today that we're allowing these woke losers

447
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: to win constantly keeps happening, keeps happening because unfortunately, activists

448
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: don't have to be many, they don't have to be

449
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: representative of any broad opinion. They just have to be

450
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: annoying and perhaps a little defamatory of an organization of

451
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: a person, and that has the intended effect. And you know,

452
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,400
Speaker 1: I know, we talk a lot about wokeness and all

453
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: this stuff, but what victory are we scoring in the

454
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: other direction? There are some, there are some I will

455
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: say that for example, Rhamda Santis recently was being pushed

456
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: on the rejection of an ap African American studies curriculum

457
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: in the state of Florida that would have taught I

458
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: believe there was a there was a queer theory section

459
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: of it. I mean, very you know, CRT woke stuff,

460
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: and he's saying, no, you're not teaching that in the

461
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: classroom in Florida. We have we have statutes, we have

462
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: rules about what you're going to teach in the classroom.

463
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: So there is something that can be done. But I

464
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: still think that on balance, unfortunately, wokeness keeps racking up

465
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: wins and we're just beginning to wake up to the

466
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: fact that it never stops, right, it never stops. And

467
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: not only that, Buck, I think, and this is the

468
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: important this is maybe the most important part. I think

469
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: all of this diversity and inclusion bs and this is

470
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: one of those times when I wish I could curse

471
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: it actually is making things worse and dividing us more.

472
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: And that is I believe that all the data reflects

473
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: that there is more racial tension now white, Black, Asian,

474
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: Hispanic in terms of our national discourse then there certainly

475
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: was in like nineteen ninety five or two thousand and five.

476
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: And so are you going to argue to me that

477
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: America is more racist in twenty twenty three than it

478
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: was in nineteen eighty three or in two thousand and three.

479
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: I think that's crazy. So why do we have this

480
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: perception that it is. I think it's because we're dividing

481
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: people and diversity inclusion actually does the opposite of what

482
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: it's intended to. You see the fun fact up on

483
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 1: the news story about Splash Mountain. People are trying to

484
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: sell Splash Mountain water on eBay. I mean, it's crazy,

485
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: but there is such an affinity for this ride that

486
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: for people who are going to Disney World. I know

487
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: there's tons of people out there listening to me right

488
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,719
Speaker 1: now that are utterly disgusted over this because of what

489
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: it represents, but also because a huge part of going

490
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: to Disney World Buck is the nostalgic factor. You're not

491
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: alone on this one, because people, again, going back to

492
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: the news reporting over this, which has been pretty substantial,

493
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: people waited up to two hundred and twenty minutes to

494
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: go on Splash Mountain one more time. Yeah, almost four

495
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: hours in line. By the way, That for me is

496
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: theme park hell. That's why I don't, you know, six flags,

497
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: all this stuff. I don't like being in the line,

498
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: getting sunburned, neck, the whole thing. It drives me crazy.

499
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: So and again I don't I don't like standing in

500
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: line either. I don't mind some people aren't there. Why

501
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 1: do you like. I don't mind if some old rides

502
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: are transferred out, transitioned out because they aren't popular anymore.

503
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: But Disney is actually ending the most popular ride in

504
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: all of Magic Kingdom because they have allowed a tiny

505
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: cadre of losers to convince them that this is a

506
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: racist amusement park ride. Just not true. And I think

507
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,479
Speaker 1: it's important for people to stand up against the crazy.

508
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: I really do. Sunday Drop with Clay and Buck. Earlier

509
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: I mentioned my aunt Press one hundred years old today,

510
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: and Buck, I asked you if you could sign up

511
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 1: for an age right now, and you would be like,

512
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: I'll take it for me. It's ninety. If you told me, hey,

513
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: you're going to live to be ninety, and I don't

514
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: want to live to be ninety and be like really

515
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 1: unhealthy for a decade, right, I mean, like fairly healthy.

516
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: You told me I could go to ninety, like, I

517
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: would say, sign the paperwork right now, no questions asked.

518
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: Is there a number in your mind where you'd be like, okay,

519
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: I would take this one. I think I think anything

520
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: past eighty you're kind of playing with house money, yep,

521
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, and anything past ninety you gotta count your blessings.

522
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: That's that's sort of my mycense. You know, if you

523
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: make it to eighty, you got you went the distance.

524
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people will you know,

525
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: go much Obviously you're your your ants twenty years beyond that.

526
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, if you're looking at it, like, what,

527
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: what does a life well live? Just in terms of

528
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: duration anything that gets into eighty is a blessing, all right.

529
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 1: So I shared an article with you about this guy

530
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 1: who sold his company for eight hundred million dollars and

531
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: he is spending two million dollars a year to basically

532
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 1: try to biohack his body and preserve his longevity as

533
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: much as he can. He's forty five years old right now,

534
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: and he is spending like, when I say, two million

535
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: dollars a year, not only for what he eats, for

536
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: the supplements that he's taking, for the training that he's doing,

537
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: but also like they're aging his organs, by which I

538
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: mean they're like, Okay, your liver is the equivalent of

539
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: you know, a thirty eight year old and whatever else.

540
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: With the idea being that he's going to extend his life,

541
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: how I give you some of his regiment you will, Yeah, yeah,

542
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you some of this guy's. Guy's Brian Johnson's

543
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: forty five years old. He wakes up every morning at

544
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: five am, takes two dozen supplements, works out for an hour,

545
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: drinks green juice, laice with creatine and collagen peptides and well,

546
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: and then he wears glasses before he goes to bed.

547
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: That block all blue light for two hours, constantly monitors

548
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: his vital signs, undergoes monthly medical procedures to maintain his results,

549
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: including ultrasounds, MRIs and colonoscopies. Hikes. Those aren't fun, and

550
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I mean he's trying to just like do

551
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: the I'm gonna live foreverything. I do have some news

552
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: for mister Brian Johnson. I look, I wish him a

553
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: very long, healthy, happy life. Although he's a vegan, which

554
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: is I don't know. I think that's kind of its

555
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: own form of torture. But a people love it. People

556
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: love it, and they're in great shape and they're very happy.

557
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: I'm just saying for me, I couldn't do it. He's

558
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: not gonna live forever. I can guarantee him that. Well,

559
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: this is kind of what Tom he has done, right.

560
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: Tom Brady has tried to biohack his health to the

561
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: extent where even though he's forty five years old, that

562
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: was his initial goal. I think to play football till

563
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: he's forty five. Now he may think I can play

564
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: till fifty. He's trying to push the expense. And if

565
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: you look at the guy, and I don't know all

566
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: the stuff that he does to look his age, but

567
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: Brady looks like he's thirty five, right, Like, if you

568
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: just saw Tom Brady out and you didn't know he

569
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: was a famous football player, you wouldn't think that he

570
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: was forty five years old. Well. I also think that

571
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: one of the things that we deal with as a society,

572
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:31,959
Speaker 1: or are people are realizing, is that a lot of

573
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: our jobs require to be sedentary, long hours, no physical activity,

574
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: high cortisol build up. Right. Yeah, by the way, being

575
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: a radio host is one of them. Yeah, and that's

576
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: you know, that's very There's a health depletion that occurs

577
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: if you're an investment banker, a corporate lawyer, you know,

578
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: accountant pulling long hours, a doctor in the er. You know,

579
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: this stuff all takes a toll. It takes a real

580
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: physical hole. And you know, this is why people get

581
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: back pain, they get hypertension, they get all these things

582
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: because stress is killer. Stress is terrible for you. So

583
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: everyone just needs to relax, man, Go go do some prayers,

584
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: some yoga, go for walk in the woods. Live in

585
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,959
Speaker 1: the now. Clay Live in the Now reminds me of

586
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: what Rush used to say. Everybody who just ate carrots

587
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: died too, So I mean that's where you get into

588
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: this balancing thing two million dollars a year. But are

589
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: you really living when you're trying to prolong it? I

590
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: think it's a fascinating question. Sunday Sizzle with Clay in Buck.

591
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: I am like a character in the matrix. Clay is

592
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: like a character in the matrix. We're online in the

593
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: interweb's space all the time looking at stuff, trying to

594
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: find all the most interesting stories and clips and cuts

595
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: and you know, hot takes and you name it. And

596
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: it is rare that I find myself seeing something that

597
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: has gone totally viral where my response is just what

598
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: the heck is this? And I had one of those

599
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: over the weekend, right, I mean, you know, you'll see

600
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: things that are surprising or crazier or whatever in the

601
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: general news sense. But Clay, I came upon something I

602
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: did not. I had no idea this was a thing

603
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: that even existed. I had never heard of this before,

604
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: and it does, I believe, roughly fall into the realm

605
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: of sport. So I wanted to ask you about this.

606
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: I saw a video of like burly dudes standing across

607
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: like like, you know, what's the show Family feud like

608
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: they're at a family feud podium and they're gonna be like, hey,

609
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: like things you take with you to the store. But

610
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: instead they are slapping. They literally slapping the you know

611
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: what out of each other. They're actually slapping each other

612
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: as hard as they came across the face. And this

613
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: is apparently some kind of a league. Now. It's like MMA,

614
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: but with slapping only what Clay, What is going on?

615
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: So Dana White, who runs the UFC, is behind this,

616
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: and I believe it airs on TBS. It's only been

617
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: out for a couple of weeks now, But you're right,

618
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: they basically stand. It's almost if you remember, I'm sure

619
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: you do because a nice to the top the arm

620
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: wrestling competition where they stand basically on the little you know,

621
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: there's a little kind of table in between them, and

622
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: I've watched it a little bit because the guys are

623
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: getting knocked out by the slaps. I don't understand how

624
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: it isn't beyond a significant factor who gets to slap first, right,

625
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: because it's like a duel. If you shoot first, you

626
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: a lot of times have an advantage. And if you

627
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: take one of these slaps, even if you aren't not down.

628
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: It has to diminish your ability to give as hard

629
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: of a slap back once you've taken one yourself. But

630
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I saw the Dan slap for people open

631
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 1: hand slaps. I saw this because you know, I saw

632
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: this cliff and I said, wait, is this really a thing?

633
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: And this I didn't know this is a Dana White

634
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: thing and that it's a league now. But there were

635
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: some guy who was just I mean, the side of

636
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: his face looked like like a pufferfish, like a blowfish,

637
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, like it was just swelling and swelling up.

638
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: And I'm like, and he keeps getting whacked on that

639
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 1: side of the face. And there's I mean, there's video

640
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: of some other guy who gets knocked out cold and

641
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: his hands are kind of shaking. People are saying that

642
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: could be a sign of neurological damage, Like is this

643
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: catching on? Or people are people, you know, in enjoying this.

644
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: What is happening in the way. I don't know what

645
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: the long standing success or failure of this will be,

646
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: but you know, one of the great all time business

647
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: moves was the UFC in the nineties was bought for

648
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: two million dollars I believe by the Fatida Brothers two million,

649
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 1: and then they sold it for four billion, if I'm

650
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 1: not mistaken to Endeavor, the big Hollywood talent agency. And honestly,

651
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: it's been a super brilliant move by Endeavor to buy

652
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: it for four billion dollars. And the reason why you

653
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: could buy it for two million dollars buck was because

654
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: at that time John McCain and people like him were

655
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: saying that UFC was human cockfighting, and they went and

656
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: they got it regulated weight classes, all these other things,

657
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 1: and now the UFC is very much like boxing. When

658
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: I watched this slap fight stuff, I can't help but

659
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: think you're one hit away from basically the sport ending forever,

660
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: right because if you, I cannot imagine how much you'd

661
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: have to pay me to take one of these slaps

662
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: from these guys, because I think I would. I don't

663
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: think there's an amount of I don't think there's any

664
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: because when you finally people with thinking it's not a

665
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 1: slap like a stage slap back in the day, the

666
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: lap which was it's to think of like a like

667
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: a two hundred and eighty pound guy named Oleg who

668
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: just showed up from Siberia, who is winding up with

669
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: the full force of his arm and the noise and

670
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: you can see and slow people do these slow motion

671
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: videos too, where the whole face kind of shakes. I mean,

672
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: it's Clay. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen that's

673
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: supposed to be somehow kind of normal. Yeah. I don't

674
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: know whether it's going to last because I think it

675
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: might be too violent, because at least in the UFC

676
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: or boxing, there is the concept of keeping your gloves

677
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: up and protecting yourself in some way. This is it's

678
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,720
Speaker 1: a lot like dueling because you just have to stand

679
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 1: there and take it and you just take the punishment. Though.

680
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: Right in UFC, if someone gets you know, if they

681
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: can't defend themselves and they're not, you know, they jump in,

682
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: they stop the fight, stop it. Yeah, this is just

683
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: straight up punishment over. It's crazy. It's it's absolutely Banana

684
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: Sundays with Clay and Buck. We've got our friend Rob

685
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: Smith in the house and he is the host of

686
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: Can't Cancel Rob Smith, which is particularly true if many

687
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: of you subscribe, because then they can't cancel Rob Smith.

688
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: He's also a veteran of the United States Military. He's

689
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: an author he's a friend of mine, friend of Clay's.

690
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: With us here actually in studio, New York City, Rob,

691
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 1: Great to have you back, Man, Great to be here,

692
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: Man in studio in New York City. Yes, while we

693
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 1: still can have in person things in New York. I'm

694
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: starting to get a little worried. Here is the FOUCH

695
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: good data now that if you were infected with B

696
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: A one you really don't have a lot of good

697
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,760
Speaker 1: protection against BA four to five. And in other countries

698
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 1: particularly that have BA four to five anti dating hour

699
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,240
Speaker 1: is the reinfection rate is clear that that's the case.

700
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: But the older world principle is that we know immunity

701
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: wanes with coronaviruses, whether that is natural infection or vaccination.

702
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: And so if you've been infected or vaccinated and your

703
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: time comes for a boost, that's when you should go

704
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: and get the boost. And I might say myself, having

705
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: been someone who's been vaccinated and infected, when we get

706
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: the next round of having vaccines available months later, I

707
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: will be in line to get another boost after that.

708
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: You know they've also had the CDC, say, Rob, time

709
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,240
Speaker 1: for your fourth booster in advance of the new variant

710
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: that will certainly come about this fall, and fires are

711
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: saying we're going to have an updated mRNA for whatever

712
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: that is. It'll probably there'll be a year behind. Nonetheless,

713
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: Fauci is saying, the pandemic is still here. Folks, get

714
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: ready for boosters forever and the Biden administrations extending the

715
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: emergency because there's a lot of money involved in all this.

716
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: I know you've been digging into where some of the

717
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: money's been going. Yeah, you know, look, there's a lot

718
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: of money involved in it. There's also a lot of

719
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: control in the as well. And I cringed when you

720
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 1: played that clip because I thought that I'd never heard

721
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: that sort of scratchy voice ever again. But this is

722
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: very interesting where some of this money is being going, right,

723
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: And remember when Joe Biden was pushing this to the

724
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 1: American people, and in Republicans and in some conservatives, we're saying,

725
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 1: what's about you know, what's up with all this money

726
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: we're spending? Maybe she's sold down, he said, they want

727
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: to get in the way of, you know, us saving lives. Okay,

728
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,240
Speaker 1: let's talk about where some of this money has gone.

729
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: Fifteen million dollars in the American Rescue Plan Project grants

730
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,399
Speaker 1: to institutions across forty nine states, et cetera, et cetera. Okay, right,

731
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 1: So the Rochester Museum and Science Center in New York

732
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: got fifty thousand dollars for a field trip for third

733
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,720
Speaker 1: grade students that will utilize to Take It Down exhibit,

734
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: which tells the story of a community led effort to

735
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: remove remove racist artwork from a historic carousel as a

736
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 1: tool for anti racism education. Right. So this is the

737
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: the CRT stuff and all of that stuff that our

738
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: taxpayer dollars are going. So money that was COVID relief

739
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: money from the government went to taking kids on a

740
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:10,280
Speaker 1: field trip to learn about the racist carousel. Absolutely. Oh oh,

741
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: and it gets even better. So the Studio Museum in Harlem,

742
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: and I've actually been there, it's a great place, right,

743
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: but they got fifty thousand dollars to build a nine

744
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: foot bronze statue and Marcus Garvey Park that quote addresses

745
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: black masculinity stereotypes and shared the hissporic experiences. So, look,

746
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: I don't care that these institutions are doing these things

747
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: or whatever. I do care, but that's not the point.

748
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 1: The point is that all of this money that we

749
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: were told was going towards saving lives, is going towards

750
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: this far left CRT based absolute nonsense. Well, you know,

751
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,240
Speaker 1: in Clay, that's why the fact that bidendministration is formally

752
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: extending the state of emergency, it's in a large part

753
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: of this is medicaid funding. There's like a Medicaid effectively,

754
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: you can't kick anyone off the Medicaid roles anywhere as

755
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: I understand it, as long as this COVID state of

756
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: urgency exists. Yeah, no, it's wild and rob by the way.

757
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard us talking about this earlier,

758
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: if you've seen the stories. But Josh Halley, Senator was

759
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: questioning a UC Berkeley law professor and she said he

760
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,959
Speaker 1: was being transphobic when he said that only women can

761
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: get pregnant. You're a gay guy living in New York City. Yes,

762
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm curious how much conversation is there in the gay

763
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 1: community about how crazy the transgender community has become. Well,

764
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,399
Speaker 1: when you guys sit around and talk and you hear, hey,

765
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be saying men can get pregnant as

766
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: a part of the transgender agenda. What is the gay

767
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:46,439
Speaker 1: community conversation like just among yourselves about things like this. Well,

768
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: the thing about it, Clay, is that and I'm glad

769
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: that you delineated the separation between gay and trans. These

770
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: things are not the same at all. But what's going

771
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 1: on right now is this. So you have a great

772
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 1: deal of gay people who are actually not insane, They

773
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: actually believe even biological sex and all of these different things,

774
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: but they are afraid to sort of stand up against

775
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,399
Speaker 1: the radical left transactivists that have sort of taken over

776
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: everything right, So it's always left to the gay conservatives

777
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: or the gay right leaning people or whatever to actually

778
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: stand up and say the reality that is on everybody's minds.

779
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: And what I say to that is that it's going

780
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: to be up to the gay and lesbian liberals that

781
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: are still saying there are some of them. They are

782
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 1: absolutely terrified to speak out about this because they don't

783
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: want to be canceled obviously, like I can't be canceled

784
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,399
Speaker 1: the name of the podcast, right, But you know, these

785
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: people are so afraid to speak out. But if they

786
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: don't start speaking out and taking control of that narrative,

787
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: it'll never change. Because you know, gay conservative, Republican leaning

788
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: guys whatever, like me. We've already been excommunicated for speaking

789
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: the truth. And the most annoying thing is when some

790
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: of these gay and lesbian liberals kind of come up

791
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: to you and they whisper like, oh, you know, I

792
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 1: agree with you secretly, but I can never say that

793
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: because you know, I still want to get invited to

794
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: the cocktail parties, and you know, I've got an MSNBC

795
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: contributorship that I got to worry about. You know, Rob

796
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: Macy Gray stepped into this arena of discussion last week

797
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 1: and it was just amazing because she she just said

798
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: what we all know, which says, look, a woman is

799
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: a woman. You can't just become a woman. There are

800
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: realities here that we have to deal with. But then

801
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: the way that she had, it's not enough to just

802
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: say I'm sorry, I didn't mean any offense. It has

803
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 1: to be this walking around self shaming of you know,

804
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: I've really grown and learned as a person, and that's right.

805
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: Need to be educated. There's a very Soviet re education

806
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: field to this, like I didn't realize the depths of

807
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: my ignorance. So not only do they force you to

808
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 1: bend the knee, they also they insist on humiliation for

809
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 1: people who say what is observable fact, absolutely, and it

810
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,479
Speaker 1: is humiliating. And I remember, you know I talked about

811
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,359
Speaker 1: this on my podcast a little bit when Macy Gray

812
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: came out with this, I said, okay, so T minus

813
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 1: five four three two one until she apologizes. So either

814
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: she is going to be forced to apologize, she's going

815
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: to be forced to bend the knee to these maniacs,

816
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: or she won't, right because you see jk Rowling has

817
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: not apologized. He's actually doubled and tripled down in her

818
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: support for the protection of women's biological spaces, and what

819
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: they have done to her is criminal. The Harry Potter

820
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,439
Speaker 1: kids that jk Rowling made multi multi multi millionaires many

821
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 1: times over, they've distanced themselves, etc. Etc. So it's sad

822
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: to see Macy Gray back down on this, but you know,

823
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 1: this is what the activists do to people. Rob, last

824
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: question for you, Buck is newly engaged. Yes, he's trying

825
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 1: to get back in great shape and time for the

826
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: wedding and the honeymoon and everything else. You are in

827
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 1: phenomenal shape. I'm not in that great shape myself either.

828
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: You it's beach season as well for everybody out there. Yes,

829
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: you only can give people one or two exercises to do,

830
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,760
Speaker 1: which would be the one or two you would say

831
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: are the best for people to be embraced. Okay, so

832
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a really big fitness I'm not going

833
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: to give people an exercise, but I'm going to give

834
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 1: people two concepts to sort of wrap their brain around.

835
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 1: First is that a six pack is built in the kitchen,

836
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: not in the gym, So work on your eating and

837
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: drinking before you start working on anything else. And second,

838
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 1: like I've been telling Buck, heavy weights and high protein helps,

839
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna feel like you're eating so much protein that

840
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 1: you can't even eat anything else. But when you're doing

841
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: that in lifting, you're gonna burn fat, you're gonna look

842
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: in credible. So I've been spending months for the audience

843
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: benefit here doing things that I used to do a

844
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: lot when I was in better shape, deadlifting and you know,

845
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: the bench and all these all these things. And what

846
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: I find though, is you're always in this. People say,

847
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: make sure you hit enough protein, but you also have

848
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: to be in a chloric deficit. And I'm forty and

849
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: it just feels like, wait, eating more is gonna mean

850
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: that I'm not on the chloric deficit, So how do I?

851
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: And Rob is telling me, no, you just have to

852
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: be very precise about the foods you're eating so that

853
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,800
Speaker 1: they are full of protein and you stay within your macros.

854
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: And now I just want to eat some ice cream

855
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: and give them But anyway, No, that's that's the thing

856
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:04,760
Speaker 1: you gotta You gotta get out of the ice cream,

857
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: the pizza, the beer, all of that stuff. You gotta

858
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: think about how amazing you're gonna look in that tucks

859
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 1: on your wedding, any of those pictures that you're canna

860
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: be looking at forever by the way, and then the honeymoon,

861
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: the beach pick, all of that stuff. Just keep that

862
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: stuff in your mind. Buck Can't Cancer, Rob Smith. And

869
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: on wonderbread for lunch every day. Turkey it's turkey and cheese.

Speaker 1: Show some respect to the turkey turkey business. Yes, I

871

Speaker 1: do eat a lot of turkey, um so, I don't

872
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:46,879
Speaker 1: know if that's good or bad. And we were talking

873
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: about Taco Bell earlier. Buck, you're not even gonna be

874
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: able to get the crunchy or the soft tacos at

875
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:53,560
