1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: Bold reverence and occasionally random the Sunday hang with playing podcast.

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: It starts now.

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 2: Be writing a book. You just got to go around

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: on your book tour. I'm writing a book.

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: So that's what you're doing all Labor Day weekend?

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, pretty much.

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: You don't have a single fun thing plan for the

8
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: entire long weekend.

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: Reading the books for research to write the book is

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: somewhat enjoyable.

11
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: Doesn't Harry have anything fun playing?

12
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: She's gonna, Yeah, she's gonna go out with the girls.

13
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: Good that she played golf last night. She's got a

14
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 2: great time. I'm going to go into full Hobbit in

15
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 2: his little dead mode and be writing until my little

16
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: fingers get numb. And that is the plan. But it's coming,

17
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 2: it's coming along, it's coming along. And yeah, I hope

18
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 2: people have more fun things planned than that. I'm sure

19
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: I'll eat some good food at some point, do some

20
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: other some other good things.

21
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: I can't believe the summer is out of close now.

22
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 3: You would think that. I don't know. It went by

23
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 3: very very quickly.

24
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 2: So I'm happy that people have a day off to contemplate.

25
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 2: It's interesting we could think of the history of Labor

26
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: Day another time. Perhaps in the meantime, mister Clay, Actually,

27
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: why don't you tell everybody we've got going on. It's

28
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: third hour before holiday weekend. We're not No, there's not

29
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: any big break. All the journals, everybody they've they're already

30
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 2: on the way to.

31
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 3: The vineyard or whatever.

32
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're they're they're heading to the Jersey shore right now.

33
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: They don't care.

34
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: It's a good time to break news if you have

35
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: any negative news out there that you just want to

36
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: dump in. There's tons of college football games going on.

37
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: Everybody's bailing. I've been on the road for the last

38
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: month so with the book and everything else, and so

39
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm just excited to be home. I'm going to go

40
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: to the Virginia Tennessee game in Nashville tomorrow. I'm going

41
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: to go to a high school football game tonight. Basically

42
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: the next decade of my life, I'm going to be

43
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: going to high school football games now, because my boys

44
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: are getting to those ages where they're playing high school

45
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: foot and everything else.

46
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: You know, I played a lot of different sports. You

47
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: and I actually played similar sports.

48
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: Gromen.

49
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: You played soccer, I played soccer. Were you a tennis guy?

50
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: I was really into tennis.

51
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: Whenever on a team, I played baseball, I played basketball.

52
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: I played, but by high school I was a soccer player.

53
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: I played basketball too until my dream of being able

54
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: to dunk easily. One day that came crashing down in

55
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: about the eighth grade, when I realized that despite all

56
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 2: the calf raises, I could do.

57
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 3: You know, all the exercises for the guest.

58
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: String hues, the Jimmy remember Jimmy on Seinfeld who had

59
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: like the jumping shoes. Remember remember those shoes that they

60
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: had that were pumps that you used to see. E.

61
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: D Brown like won the slam Dunk contest with the

62
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: Reebok pumps. That's right.

63
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 2: The slam Dunk Contest was a cultural phenomenon for a while.

64
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: I remember this back in the day, Michael Jordan's Spud Webb.

65
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: I remember him. He was I think five eight, and

66
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: he won it one year, that's right. So I remember,

67
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 2: and I was like, I'm taller than five eight, I'm

68
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: in the eighth grade or ninth grade, like, maybe I

69
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: can dunk.

70
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: It turned out no, no, I was.

71
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: I had to be pleased with just just hitting the

72
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: bottom of the net with my hand. That was as

73
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: close as I got, which no one's impressed.

74
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: What percentage of men do you think can dunk a basketball?

75
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: Oh?

76
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 3: Man, Well, depends on what age.

77
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: I mean, like peak age, right, like twenty three or

78
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: twenty four, right, like when you are before you have

79
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: gone off the deep end of not being super athletic.

80
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: Like if you can't dunk when you're twenty three or

81
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: twenty four, you probably are never going to be able

82
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: to dunk a basketball. So whatever like peak athletic age

83
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: you want to point.

84
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: We looked up earlier in the week. I think it's

85
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: three percent of men or six foot two or above. Yes,

86
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 2: so a six foot three or six foot four guy

87
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: I think is in pretty good you know, at the

88
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: pretty decent likelihood that they would be able to, but

89
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: not all of them would be able to. Very few

90
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: people below that height, I would argue, are going to

91
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: be able to dunk easily. So I would think it's

92
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: probably one percent. I think one p Zach number that

93
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: I was going to go with. One percent of Americans

94
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: or you know, men in general probably around the world

95
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: can dunk a basketball. Yeah, but it's maybe the rarest

96
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: athletic trait that everybody would aspire to and almost no

97
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: one can do.

98
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: Right, Like, if you play golf, you could hit a

99
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: hole in one. Even if you're a really bad golfer,

100
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: you can go out and hit a bunch of three pointers.

101
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: I think dunking a basketball is the rarest athletic trait

102
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: that everybody would love to be able to do, and

103
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: almost no one can to this day.

104
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: I have never I have never dunked, although if you didn't,

105
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 2: I think there's a video of Tom Segura, who's a

106
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: very very talented comedian.

107
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 3: He was on Joe Rogan recently and.

108
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: He he he's made jokes about this too. But I

109
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: somehow in my Twitter feed, I think it was I

110
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: saw this video he maybe a year ago on a bet,

111
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: tried to dunk and manage to like snap his pateller

112
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 2: tendon and also break his arm at the same time.

113
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 3: I mean it was.

114
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: Really he really hurt himself. So this is way saying

115
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 2: for all of us weekend warriors out there. If you're

116
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: gonna be playing golf, I don't think we have to

117
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: worry too much about you. But if you're gonna be

118
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 2: playing a little pick up basketball, if you haven't jumped

119
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 2: and you haven't stretched your hammis your hamstrings for uh, you.

120
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 3: Know, a year or two.

121
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: Go slow out there, Kevin Hart, did you see speaking

122
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: of comedians, you see he put himself in a wheelchair

123
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: trying to win a race against a former NFL player,

124
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: like a forty yard dash, and I was gonna say,

125
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: I'm dunked. But it's been off a trampoline. Back in

126
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: the day, sometimes you would put a trance probably very dangerous,

127
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: but you would put a trampoline underneath a you know,

128
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: like the big trampolines directly underneath a basketball hoop, and

129
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: you could then try to dunk on each other those

130
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: old school Now they have the nets that surround the trampolines.

131
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: You lived in New York, did you ever get on

132
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: one of those like trampolines back in the day, like,

133
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: like in the eighties and the early nineties, it was

134
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: a big deal to have a trampoline in your backyard.

135
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: Do you remember that? Oh?

136
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely.

137
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: I knew people, and I knew people who definitely lost

138
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 2: a front teeth, a front tooth or or two from

139
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: getting a little.

140
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: Too I mean, you would just get bounced off the

141
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: trampoline all the time. People would fall through the springs.

142
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: Now they have. They put the netting around it, but

143
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: they used to put them underneath basketball rims, and so

144
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: you could bounce. That's how you would dunk. And so

145
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: that's the only experience that I've ever gotten to have

146
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: hanging on a basketball.

147
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 2: And I was gonna ask you, though this was a

148
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 2: long enf of saying, I've never played a down of football.

149
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 2: That's the one sport that I've really never I tried

150
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: even to throw around to la cross ball a little

151
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 2: bit back in the day. I'm from the Northeast, very common,

152
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: but I was not good. But I've never tried at football.

153
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 2: Do your sons or is there just one son so

154
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 2: far plays football?

155
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 3: Is that right?

156
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: Well, I've got one in one in flag football, so

157
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: I think that kind of counts. But it's, you know,

158
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: young kids. We didn't allow him to play until sixth

159
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: grade tackle football.

160
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: But does every kid does every sixth grader? I'm just

161
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: I ask this, honestly. Do they all start out wanting

162
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: to be the quarterback and then over time they're like, oh,

163
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: I'll be a tight end or a wide receiver, you

164
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: know what I mean. I feel like more so than

165
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: any other sport, unless maybe I guess you're a pitcher.

166
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 3: That's a very specific thing.

167
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 2: But you know, if you get into it and you

168
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 2: want to be a quarterback, that's like a very specific thing.

169
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: And if you can't be the quarterback on the team,

170
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: do you want to be.

171
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 3: Like a d end or whatever?

172
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: I wonder. So I think one size dictates very often

173
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: where you get placed early on. So my twelve year

174
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: old is a wide receiver and a cornerback in his

175
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: seventh grade football. My eight year old is and it's

176
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: flag football, so everybody goes out and everybody can catch,

177
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: but more of a wide receiver too, And they I think,

178
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: at least in their experience, they want to play wide

179
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: receiver more than they want to play any other position.

180
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: Maybe running back a little bit as well. But it

181
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: is uh, I'll tell you Buck, Like I don't know,

182
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: your high school didn't have a high school football team

183
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: right in New York, which is not uncommon.

184
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: Oh, my high school did not even have a football team.

185
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 2: That's not uncommon in New York City at all.

186
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: A lot of schools don't have a football team. My

187
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,679
Speaker 1: high school did not either. It was an academic high school,

188
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: which is very rare in the South. Like we were

189
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: the only public high school I think in the whole

190
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: city of Nashville. It didn't have a team, so I

191
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: didn't spend a lot of time going to high school

192
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: football games. And now my boys are getting into that age.

193
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: It's really pretty incredible. In the South, high school football

194
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: on a Friday night is a monster deal, and I

195
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: know all over the country it's a big deal. I

196
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: just never experienced it.

197
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 3: Well.

198
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 2: I love that show. I liked the movie. Although the

199
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 2: movie was a little grim to be honest, Theilights Friday

200
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: Lights it was a little there was like nothing was

201
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 2: allowed to be funny. There was no levity in the

202
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 2: whole movie, but it was well executed. I think it's

203
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: a Peter Berg movie, who also did the Lone Survivor movie,

204
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 2: and did I believe he did The Kingdom as well,

205
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 2: which has got Jamie.

206
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: Fox in it.

207
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 2: But for the show Friday Night Lights, it didn't get

208
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 2: the big audiences that they had hoped on NBC think

209
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 2: at the time. But I was part of that crew

210
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 2: of people that loved that show. I thought that show

211
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: was phenomenal.

212
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if you would sign on to this.

213
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm curious how many people in our audience would. I

214
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: think Friday Night Lights is the best broadcast drama broadcast

215
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: That means everybody gets it for free. It's on ABC, NBCCBS, Fox,

216
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: I'm taking out like the HBO showtimes streaming all of that.

217
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: I think Friday Night Lights is the best broadcast drama

218
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: in the history of television. I don't think there has

219
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: ever been a swinger taken there. It's a big swing.

220
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: But I think about it. You guys out there listening

221
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: can think about it too. Name me a better show

222
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: that we could all watch for free on television than

223
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: Friday Night Lights. I think it's the best broadcast television

224
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: show of all time. And the challenge for it buck

225
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: was and I eventually got my wife watching it. I

226
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: don't know if Carrie's watched it. A lot of women

227
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: who are not sports fans didn't want to watch it

228
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: because they were like, oh, it's just a football show,

229
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: and a lot of men didn't want to watch it

230
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: initially because it was a drama. Really, it's the story

231
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: of a marriage, right Coach Taylor and Tammy his wife,

232
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: The Connie Britten characters who are both phenomenal in the

233
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: Miles Chandler is that the guy's name right. Yeah, they

234
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: are both incredible. It's really just the story of a marriage.

235
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: If you have not watched it and you are listening

236
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: to us right now and you want something wholesome that

237
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: your entire family could sit down and watch. I think

238
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: it's the best broadcast drama in the history of free television.

239
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: I don't think anything's ever been better.

240
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: What is the show for this Labor Day weekend? Okay,

241
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: let's do this clay before we go here. A show

242
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 2: and a book that you would be your top as

243
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: people are going into their holiday weekend right now from

244
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 2: your end. A show that you think people and like

245
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 2: obviously not you know, the most obvious thing, or like

246
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: a Breaking Bad. We all know Breaking Bad. Some people

247
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 2: think the best show of all time. But a show

248
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: that you've seen relatively recently and a book that you've

249
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 2: read relatively recently, that you would recommend to people out

250
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: there for the holiday weekend if they're looking for one. Oh,

251
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 2: that's a ror movie or movie show or movie. We'll

252
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: make it a little broader.

253
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: The show I would just people have heard me talk

254
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: about this. I'll think about the book for a second.

255
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: The show I would go with is The Righteous Gemstones,

256
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: This is very different from Friday Night Lights, by the way,

257
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: so let me give you two angles. Friday Night Lights wholesome.

258
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: I guarantee that you will like it by and large,

259
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: no matter. It's not political in any way. Righteous Gymstones

260
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: is outrageously, outrageously provocatively funny, but it is not appropriate

261
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: for like a ten year old. You could watch Friday

262
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 1: Night Lights with a ten year old. What about you?

263
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: What would your picks be on television.

264
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 2: I'm always a big proponent for adults, and it's definitely

265
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 2: an adults only show.

266
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 3: Peaky Blinders for anybody who hasn't seen it.

267
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: I still haven't seen it. I know you've been, You've been.

268
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: You and my older brother Mason, every time I see

269
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 2: him and we are talking about shows, because you know

270
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 2: that's what brothers will talk about stuff like that, I'm like,

271
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: how have you not watched it? He always says he's busy,

272
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 2: and I'm like, what does that mean, I'm not busy,

273
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 2: Like it's a great show, but he'll he'll get to

274
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: it at some point and then so I would throw

275
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 2: that one out there for everybody. Carry and I have

276
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 2: really loved Outlander, which is again an adult that's not

277
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: for the whole family.

278
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 3: It's an adult's only show.

279
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 2: But if you like Scotland, it's it's a whole you know,

280
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 2: there's a whole thing there. And then for books, oh man,

281
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of something that I gave everyone.

282
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 2: Shadow divers was one of my recks and endurance the

283
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 2: shackle Dinting Would you read which I appreciate.

284
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: I read it. That is phenomenal. That is a great book.

285
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: It'll make you feel I love reading books. This is

286
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: maybe just me that make me realize what a total

287
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: whats I am because I think people have this sense

288
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: like if you're busy out there, I think it's important.

289
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: This is why I gave everybody the Lewis and Clark

290
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: Expedition on Dawning Courage, because I think it's important to

291
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: recognize how much more challengeing circumstances people in our modern

292
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: history have come through and survived than anything that we

293
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: deal with today. Because I think there's this obsession with

294
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: believing that everything that happens right now is the worst

295
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: or the biggest or the most important. Most of the

296
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 1: time it isn't. And that's why historical uh study teaches you.

297
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: I think a lot of I would say humbleness about

298
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: trying to contextualize your current state. By the way, my

299
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: wife just weight in buck, she says. She agrees with me.

300
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: Friday Night Lights best show on broadcast TV ever nine

301
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: O two one oh, she says, is second place. So

302
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if that just if a lot of

303
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: people were like buying in and then as soon as

304
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: she says never wrong, was gone.

305
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: I back her up on those are strong choices.

306
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: I don't know.

307
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 2: If nothing, it will be my number two slot. But

308
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: for broadcast TV, I think it's very hard.

309
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: It has to be an hour long drama. That's the category.

310
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: So people out there are like, what about Seinfeld about Friends? No, No,

311
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: I'm talking about broadcast drama that everybody could watch for free,

312
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: not streaming, not HBO, not Showtime. Because I know I'm

313
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: getting deluged already with people like what about Sopranos HBO show?

314
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm talking about you could watch it for free on television,

315
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: not cable, just regular broadcast television.

316
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: I'll come back and I'll give a book recommendation here.

317
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 2: We'll also look at some of your VIP emails. Clay's

318
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 2: gonna give a book as well. We haven't done books.

319
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 2: We'll talk books for the Labor Day weekend that we

320
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: guarantee if you give a shot to including American Playbook

321
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 2: of course, for my partner here so he doesn't have.

322
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 3: To sell it.

323
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: I'll tell everybody you will, of course enjoy American Playbook.

324
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: So I think that has to be Clay's pick, but

325
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: we'll give you some other ones. If you want something

326
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: in the fiction realm maybe as well, and we can

327
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 2: we can get into that.

328
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 3: But you know.

329
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 2: It's I'll tell you this. I have never spent substantial

330
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 2: time over a weekend, a long weekend, reading a book

331
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: and felt like it was not good ways a good

332
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 2: usage of time, felt like it was a waste of time.

333
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: Sunday hang with Clay and Buck Clay, what were your

334
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: your Do you give the book reres? You just gave

335
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: a Boah. I gave the two book RECs. Those are

336
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: page turners, those are fiction works. I tweeted that out

337
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: as well. If you just type in if you're curious

338
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: page turner at Clay Travis, you'll see those two titles.

339
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: I got them at a bookstore. Are you like me?

340
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: I know you are, in fact, because we've talked about

341
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: this I don't know on air off air, at least

342
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: in this respect, I'm terrified of being stuck on a

343
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: plane without something to read. I always I bring a

344
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: kindle and a hard copy book just because I'm such

345
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: a weirdo about I need to be able to read

346
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: if I'm on that plane. So I want because it's

347
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: not because I mean, I do read kindle, but sometimes

348
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: it like freezes or the power goes out, and so

349
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: that's how I have to have a backup book ready

350
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: on the plane because otherwise I get anxious. I go

351
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: on Southwest Airlines a lot because it's the most common

352
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: airline in Nashville. So yes, I'm on those flights all

353
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: the time. If you're like, I don't lay Travis fly Southwest. Yes,

354
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: I fly Southwest all the time. And there's no plugs

355
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: for your phone. You can't charge a phone on a

356
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines flight. I have been on planes before. I'm

357
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: sure many of you have too. It's one thing if

358
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: you're worried about your phone running out and you don't

359
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: have a charger. It's another thing when there is no

360
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: charger opportunity. So I have been terrified four years of

361
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: my phone dying and not having so I make fun

362
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: like some people have seen me, probably listening to us

363
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: right now, Like I will walk on with like eight newspapers.

364
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I look like a newspaper delivery man. And

365
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: then I'll also have hard copy books in case I

366
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: run through all of my reading material. And that's how

367
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: I ended up. I was like, man, I'm everything so

368
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: serious in the world. I just want a couple of

369
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: page turners, little murder mystery action I did and they

370
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: were fabulous. I loved them.

371
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 2: So I have a book since you like that genre.

372
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 2: And I'm sure these days having written your nonfiction book,

373
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 2: I mean this one thing that I tell myself is

374
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 2: I'm already stacking up things that I can just read

375
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: for fun as a enticement to finish the drafting of

376
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 2: my book, which has got a few more months in

377
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: it of writing. But I am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes.

378
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 2: I don't know how many of you know this book. No,

379
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: I'm writing a war on terror genre. It may be

380
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 2: written out. I think it was maybe fifteen years ago

381
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 2: ten fifteen years ago was published. It is one of

382
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 2: the best and most tightly written. It's the guy who

383
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 2: did the movie. I think he's a screenwriter for the

384
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 2: movie Payback with Mel Gibson as well. But he also

385
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 2: yeah remember that movie. Yeah, yeah, he wrote this novel

386
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 2: and it is it is excellent. It is an excellent novel.

387
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,239
Speaker 2: It's it's spy thriller stuff and it's really good. So

388
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: I am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes. If you want that,

389
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 2: you know that kind of Jack Jack Carr Brad thor genre,

390
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,239
Speaker 2: but something a little bit different, because I think our

391
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 2: audience that likes that genre, it's probably written.

392
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 3: I mean, read all the.

393
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: Jack car books and maybe as I have read, if

394
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: you're a brad Thorpe Jack Carr person, Jack's a friend

395
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: of ours, so we're obviously big Jack Car fans. And

396
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: I've got his Only the Dead, right, it's in my

397
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 2: going to Get to Pile. I've got my going to

398
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: Get to Pile with only the Dead in it. For

399
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: those who want something a little different that doesn't involve,

400
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: you know, shooting espionage stuff like that, I think either

401
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 2: The Billion Dollar Whale or Bad Blood by John carrierru

402
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 2: Bad Blood's about their nose. Billion Dollar Whale is about

403
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 2: Joe Low, the one MDB frauds.

404
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 4: THO.

405
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, those are both. The way that both of those

406
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 2: frauds we were pulled off is true page turner kind

407
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 2: of stuff, and so those would be the ones that

408
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 2: he immediately come to mind for me.

409
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: I've read Bad Blood that is really good for people

410
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: out there. I think that came out of like a

411
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: New Yorker article that somebody wrote and turned into.

412
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 3: John the Wall Street Journal.

413
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 2: Actually he was the journal reporter who wrote a series

414
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 2: he I mean, it's amazing he didn't just write about this.

415
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 2: He it's written about in the book. They came after

416
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 2: him for writing.

417
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

418
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 2: Right, the fraudsters. Elizabeth Holmes is now getting eleven years

419
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 2: I think in federal prison, and I think she's starting

420
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 2: her sentence pretty soon.

421
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: I think she's already turned herself and he's.

422
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 3: Already in right.

423
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's got eleven year federal sentence. She got one

424
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 2: of the biggest, baddest law firms out there to sit

425
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 2: down at the Wall Street Journal and basically threaten lost.

426
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: Try to refute all of his reporting about the fake,

427
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: fake blood machines that she was alleged to have created.

428
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: It's it's a fabulous read.

429
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: You know, to the Wall Street Journal's credit didn't didn't

430
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 2: back down an inch on this one. I mean, you know,

431
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 2: it helps to be backed by the Murdochs, and you

432
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 2: know have have big boy funds to play with.

433
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: But remember Murdoch himself lost hundreds of millions of dollars

434
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: in that investment. He was one of the top investors

435
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: for Elizabeth Aharno for theirs.

436
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 2: It's it's a phenomenal, phenomenal book. I have to tell you,

437
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 2: and then I on my to read There's so many

441
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 2: which is one of the most famous World War One histories.

442
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,920

Speaker 4: and you guys are filling in the legend and doing

450
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 4: a fantastic job. I wanted to bring up the Friday

451
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 4: Night Lights because I live down here in Austin, and

452
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 4: Michael Waxman, who was the executive producer of that show,

453
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 4: we used to rodeo with his daughters, and my daughters

454
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 4: were actually extras on that show.

455
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

456
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 4: That show was really and that was really good. But

457
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 4: then you brought up twenty four, which was another great

458
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 4: show that both my wife and I really loved and

459
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 4: enjoyed quite.

460
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 1: A bit, I think, and I'm not kidding about this.

461
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: Thank you for the call. And they filmed all of

462
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: Friday Night Lights in Austin. We are number one in Austin.

463
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: I would imagine that a lot of you who are

464
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: listening here, if you were in Austin around that era,

465
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: remember there being streets and roads shut down because filming

466
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: was going on in that area. If you, I mean,

467
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: I cannot impress upon you enough how good of a

468
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: show Friday Night Lights is. If you have not watched it,

469
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: even if you're not a diehard sports fan, buck you're

470
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: not like a diehard football fan, it's just that good

471
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: of a show.

472
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, It's super well written, it's very well acted,

473
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 2: the characters are really there's only one or two instances

474
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 2: where you have some who's clearly in his mid thirties

475
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 2: playing a high school kid, which I always think, it's like,

476
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 2: why do they do this, Like can't they get an

477
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 2: actor or actress who's, you know, in their twenties to

478
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 2: play the eighteen year old or the sixteen year old

479
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 2: or whatever it may be. There's only one or two

480
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 2: actors who I think look like, you know, they would

481
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 2: have kids of their own who are in Friday night lights.

482
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 3: For the most part, it's very well cast.

483
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 2: It's an excellent, excellent show, and I'm trying to think

484
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 2: of other broadcast shows. It's funny, I watched so little

485
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 2: broadcast TV that I can't even really think off the

486
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 2: top of my head of anything that's a drama like

487
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 2: that that would go and that, Like I found out

488
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 2: recently there's a Navy Seal TV show. I didn't even

489
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 2: know about this, and I tend to watch a lot

490
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 2: of that stuff. I think it was NBC or ABC.

491
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 3: So there are.

492
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: Whole things that go on that get tens of millions

493
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 2: of dollars spent on them that I have absolutely no idea.

494
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 3: So we've got we've got a stacked list here of calls.

495
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 2: Let's see what we got from Jason in Amarillo, Texas.

496
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 3: Jayson say, what's going on?

497
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 5: Oh, not much, guys. Hope you all do it well.

498
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 5: Hope you'll have a good weekend.

499
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 3: Thank you, sir, you too a.

500
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 5: Couple Thank you. I got a couple of books I recommend.

501
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 5: The first one is called Empire of the Summer Moon.

502
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: Isn't that a movie, by the way, for people out

503
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: there who may not be readers? Isn't that a movie

504
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: that's coming out soon in theaters? Or am I crazy?

505
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 5: I do not know, sir, I oh, I know it.

506
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 5: It's a book written about ten or fifteen years ago.

507
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 5: I cannot remember the man who wrote his name. But

508
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 5: it's just about the rise and fall of the Commanding

509
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 5: Indian tribe, all of the constant warfare down in Texas. Clay,

510
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 5: I think you're a history guy, so you probably know

511
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 5: about Cynthia and Parker and Kuana Parker or stuff like that.

512
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 5: At least I think a lot of people in Texas

513
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 5: know about them, and so very good book, straight down

514
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 5: the middle, not bias towards one side or that.

515
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 2: Jason, I'll tell you I have that on my not

516
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 2: in my immediate to read. But I already owned that book.

517
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 2: So that's a book that I've been meaning to get to.

518
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 5: Well, I highly recommend it. I've read it twice. S. C.

519
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: Gwinn, by the way, is the author of that book.

520
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: I have not read it. I would love to read it.

521
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to look right now and see am

522
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: I crazy or they making a movie about that? And

523
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: I can't tell right now, So but anyway, keep going.

524
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: You had a couple of recommendations you wanted to give us.

525
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 5: Hi, I actually say you can actually see that guy FC.

526
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 5: Gwyn on Joe Rogan's podcast and he talks about the book.

527
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 5: So as a couple of years ago he did that.

528
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 5: But the second book is called On Desperate Ground. I

529
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 5: think if the guy wrote, his name is Hampton Sides,

530
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 5: I guess a few years old. It's about the first

531
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 5: Marine Division during the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir. Very

532
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 5: good book. Read it twice as well, So I highly

533
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 5: recommend that.

534
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 2: Oh that sounds great. I've got I'm looking at my bookshelf,

535
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 2: you know, I do the radio show with my bookshelf

536
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 2: right right next to me. And if we're talking World

537
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 2: War I mean there's a whole We can do a

538
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 2: whole segment or a whole hour on just World War

539
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 2: two books for me, With the Old Breed, Helmet for

540
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 2: My Pillow, Neptunes, and Ferno, all of those, I've read.

541
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: Those.

542
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 3: Those are awesome.

543
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan, and I've got those in the

544
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 2: bookshelf right in front of me here. Plus Keegan's History

545
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 2: of the Second World War that's a little more kind

546
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 2: of traditional historian, obviously not a first person account like

547
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 2: you get from with the Have you ever read with

548
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 2: the Old with the Old Breed and Helmet from My

549
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 2: Pillow are effectively combined for the HBO series The Pacific.

550
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: No, I haven't read that.

551
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I'm good. If you for fiction, Clay,

552
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:33,239
Speaker 2: I'm giving Clay homework. Okay, for fiction, check out I

553
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 2: Am Pilgrim. And for nonfiction World War two stuff, I'd

554
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 2: start with with The Old Breed and Eugene Sledge. It's

555
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 2: it's it's just so good and like kind of haunting.

556
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 2: But I'm amazing as a read, so I would throw

557
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 2: that in the mix.

558
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,959
Speaker 1: I'm a civil war history nerd, so I really legitimately

559
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: believe I've read every major civil war history book that

560
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: has been written in the last forty or fifty years,

561
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: and a lot of them that were written before that.

562
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 1: Sunday Sizzle with Clay and Buck. This is a fun call. Buck,

563
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: I was talking about the fact that I won a

564
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: halftime contest and an NFL stadium halftime show. This is

565
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 1: a long time ago. This is back in two thousand

566
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: and two, I think, and Tim and Florida called in

567
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: wanting to ask for people who were not listening. I

568
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 1: want a Mercury Mountaineer, brand new, and I want a

569
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: pontoon boat. Tim and Florida, you have a question about.

570
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 4: That, Well, I just need to know the rest of

571
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 4: the story. You can't tell us you want a free

572
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 4: truck and a boat and not so how it ended up.

573
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 1: So I drove the car for like twelve years. I

574
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: drove the Mercury Mountaineer. Is that Is that what nicer

575
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: I had? Is it wood paneled sides? No? No, no. The

576
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: Mercury Mountaineer was like a luxury version of the Ford Explorer.

577
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 1: So for anybody I think they've shut down the Mercury aspect.

578
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: It was owned by I believe Ford. And if you've

579
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: ever driven in a Ford Explorer, the Mercury Mountaineer was

580
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: like the luxury version of the Ford Explorer base the

581
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: wagon ear, I believe. So I drove that for years

582
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: until basically that car ran out, and then I traded

583
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: it in and got a new car, like after ten

584
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: years or something. I drove it for a long time.

585
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: I sold the pontooned. I was in law school. I

586
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: had no money. I sold the pontoon boat back to

587
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: the pontoon boat salesman and he just gave me a

588
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: check for like I think it was fifteen K, which

589
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 1: is not a small amount of money now, but it

590
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: was a monster amount of money to me then. And

591
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: so I kept the car and I had to pay

592
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: tax on it, by the way, so the irs agent's

593
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: out there listening in two thousand and two or whatever,

594
00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: I didn't have a lot of income, but I had

595
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: to pay tax on the car, and I had to

596
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: pay tax on the boat. But so I paid a

597
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: lot of the taxes with the money that I got

598
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: for selling the boat. And yeah, I mean it was

599
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: a you know, fifty thousand dollars plus prize package that

600
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: I won on the football field.

601
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 4: Wow.

602
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: I mean, did you ever have a car with wood

603
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 2: paneled sides because I did.

604
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 3: That's why I'm asking about this.

605
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 2: I had a road a Buick Roadmaster station Wagon was

606
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: my first car.

607
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: In the eighties. I feel like every parent, we did not,

608
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,199
Speaker 1: but I feel like every parent that's car that I

609
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 1: got into. Do you remember bucking that old like station

610
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 1: I bet those are going to come back in style

611
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: with the wood paneling on the side.

612
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 2: The Roadmaster is now considered a classic and they're tough

613
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 2: to find, and they're like, the price is not some

614
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 2: old it's like a collectible.

615
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: Now, do you remember. I bet a lot of people

616
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: listening to us right now because I remember being the

617
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: kid in the back they had in the way back

618
00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: of the wood paneled car, they had a rear f

619
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: yes seat, doumya. I don't think they even make cars

620
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: that have rear facing seats anymore.

621
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 2: You're driving my beloved Roadmaster, that's exactly. It had the

622
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 2: very back bench seat facing in reverse. Yes, And I

623
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 2: remember that that was back in the day. First of all,

624
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 2: your kids would run around like crazy because you wanted

625
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 2: to be reverse facing. The fact that I don't I

626
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 2: am I correct. I don't think there's a single vehicle

627
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 2: that they make now where you face the other direction.

628
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 2: I imagine that probably wasn't very safe for rear car accidents, right,

629
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 2: because you're literally going right into it's like a front

630
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: facing accident. You know you've got for National Lampoon's vacation.

631
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 2: It was a Ford Country Squire. That was the wood

632
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 2: paneled car for that one.

633
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: That chevy Chase drove.

634
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 2: Yes, the chevy Chase station Wagon is a Ford Country Squire.

635
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 2: I don't know if you find too many of o's

636
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 2: in the road. That was nineth teen seventy nine.

637
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: Do you remember the woman who pulled up beside chevy

638

643
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: pool at the at the motel. But I don't think

644
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: am I correcting this? I don't think there is a

645
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: single car that's made today where you face backwards. Tying

646
