Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome in final hour of the week. It has been
another really really fun week. Appreciate all of you hanging
out with us. Encourage you to go search out Clay Travis,
search out Buck Sexton, go subscribe to the podcast. We
are rolling up huge audience as many of you are
tuning in in all fifty states and indeed around the world.

(00:22):
We have five hundred affiliates. You guys are killing it.
Thanks so much for all the support that you have
been showing us as we're all every single day celebrating
Donald Trump back in office and all of the incredible
actions that he is undertaking. It is also Valentine's Day.
We're gonna have a little bit of fun with you
guys here in the final hour of the week. But

(00:45):
also as we head into Valentine's Day, Buck, this is
interesting for you. This is the last Valentine's Day that
you will ever experience without being a dad. That's kind
of interesting to think about, right, like exciting. I told
you that soon you will be on the hook now
for Mother's Day as well. Just go ahead and get

(01:05):
prepared for May, which you have understood as a son.
But I told you the earlier this week one of
the things that I just had never really conceptualized was
as a husband, when your kids are young, you were
on the hook for Mother's Day. It is not their
responsibility yet that is something to keep your head on
a swivel about. And then if you're out there listening
to us right now and you are a recent dad,

(01:29):
Mother's Day a little bit more important than Father's Day.
I'll just put that on the scale of celebrations, Mother's
Day ten to one, twenty to one, it's way higher.
So we'll talk a little bit about Valentine's Day. But
I mentioned this earlier in the program Buck on Fox
and Friends this morning. Sometimes you end up in relationships

(01:51):
with couples that you never would have anticipated ending up together,
the odd couple, so to speak. I gotta be honest
with you. If you had told me, hey, Tom Holman
and Eric Adams are going to be sitting together on
the couch for Fox and Friends talking about how to
enforce immigration policy working together, I never would have believed it.

(02:11):
I also wouldn't have expected Tom Homan to basically utter
a public threat to Eric Adams live on Fox and
Friends this morning, saying, Hey, all this talk is great,
but if you're not following through. I'm gonna be after
you listen to this. If he doesn't come true, I'll
be back in New York City and we won't be
sitting on a couch up in his office up up

(02:33):
as saying word a hell is the agreement we came to.
So I want to live and I want I said,
we're going to deliver before the safety of the people
of this city. Buck, Just would you have I mean,
and I know it's Valentine's Day and there are lots
of odd couples. Would you have forecast at any point
last year, Hey, I think Eric Adams and Tom Holman

(02:53):
are going to be chatting it up on the couch
morning Fox Edition Fox and Friends saying hey, we got
to make sure that we take care of you legal
immigration and protect everybody in the city of New York. No, Clay,
I would not have seen that coming. And also, I've
got to say it is a reminder of how vicious
the Democrat apparatus under Biden really was to me. The

(03:17):
prosecution of Eric Adams a Democrat.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Right.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
See, we we say what we think is true here,
no matter which team it applies to or you know,
we have the same principles, the same standards. Yeah, Eric
Adams is a Democrat. Yeah, I disagree with him a lot. Honestly.
I think he's been kind of a crappy mayor, you know.
I mean that's just the I was to be fair
better than Bill de Blasio though, right, like on the
standard of it's a little bit of picture poison. Eric

(03:43):
Adams I think had better intentions, but is really incompetent.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
De Blasio was malicious. De Blasio was like, you know,
I think New York City should just suffer because that's
social justice or whatever. Like he actually made it worse intentionally.
But here's here's what I see with Adams. They went
after him for speaking out. I mean, you don't go
after the mayor of New York with a corruption charge

(04:09):
unless you've got him dead to rights. I mean, unless
it is just open and shut, and it's the kind
of case where you tell somebody, you know, well, you
got a million dollars, you know, bag of cash under
the table to give somebody a contract that was worth
you know, one hundred million dollars a state. That's corruption
that you prosecute somebody for upgrades on Turkish airlines and

(04:32):
preferential room rates abroad. You do that when you have
been told from the top, make an example of this guy.
And that's exactly what the Democrats were doing with It's
a reminder of Democrats too, by the way. They'll take
care of you if you're always a good little communist,
but the second you step out of line, they will
abs you know, the second you switch teams. Look what

(04:52):
they're doing an RFK and touls. You know, they hate
them with a burning passion. And now you've got these
prosecutors play in New York who are resigning in a huff.
I just read one of their letters because they refused
to accept the Attorney General saying stand down on this case.
We said this when Eric Adams got charged, and I

(05:14):
think we said it before Eric Adams got charged. We said,
as soon as Eric Adams became remotely critical of Joe
Biden's immigration policies, he was on borrow time. And I
don't think it's coincidental that suddenly, to your point, Buck,
they decide that he got too many upgrades for Turkish
airlines and also that these hotel rooms were too nice.

(05:36):
And remember what the quid pro quo they alleged here
was it was that he worked to try to get
fire department coding help for the Turkish consulate. That was
what they said was the payoff for Eric Adams on
some level. And I mean of whatever you think of
regulations in cities as it pertains to buildilding management and

(06:02):
getting those papers signed off on. That's kind of the
essence of being a politician. You take a lot of
calls from people and they say, hey, we've got a
new building, we need help getting signed off on the
fire department acknowledging that we're able to have occupy occupancy
and all these things. That's the job of a politician.

(06:22):
And so if your standard for political malfeasance is that
basically every politician in America could be charged, and I
think that's what Trump is looking at what Menendez did,
the gold bars hidden in the closet. This is the
senator from New Jersey, the relationship that he appeared to

(06:43):
have with a foreign entity that he was giving preferential
treatment to and being paid compensated substantially for it. I
think he got eleven years in prison. Between that and
Eric Adams is a wide range of political quote uno
quote misconduct. Well now I've also got to say, Clay,

(07:06):
for all the stuff they say about Trump, he's actually
and some someone will snicker at this, he's actually a
man of mercy. He sees things that are wrong, and
even when they affect somebody who's playing on the other
political team, he's like, come on, I've heard that he
wanted to pardon Martha Stewart. I don't know if that's
just a rumor, who I believe does deserve a pardon.

(07:29):
As much of a Democrat and apparently nasty person as
she may be, I don't know her, but that's the
reputation she got. Absolutely, you know it was wrong what
they did to or is James Comy by the way,
not a surprise. But Trump just sees things and he goes,
I want to make it right. I want to do something.
I want to I want to have justice be the

(07:50):
guide here. So the fact that he's trying to help
a Democrat out and undo the injustice done to him previously,
this with his prosecution, is just I think indicative of
I don't know our team has a soul, and I
really I really think the other team, you know what's
going on with that? You know, look what they did

(08:11):
to the J six prisoners, soulless stuff, demonic stuff. Well,
I think it has to do with two things. One.
Trump actually is not a grudge guy, and I don't
think he gets We've talked about that. I don't even
hear it talked about very many places. He doesn't actually
go after people for saying even awful things about him

(08:33):
if eventually you are willing to work with him. J.
D Vance compared him to Hitler, and J. D Vance
is now his VP. How many times has RFK Junior
sued him? Tulsey ran for president against him, Elon Musk
voted for freaking Joe Biden. Trump is willing to forgive

(08:55):
and forget on a level that is unheard of for
a politican, where lots of politicians buck. As you well know,
they basically marinate on grudges, and it is the fuel
by which they are motivated to a large extent, that's
very common. Second part of this, you're right about this,
and I think it's important. When you become convinced absolutely

(09:19):
that your opponents are one hundred percent evil and you
are one hundred percent just, then you are willing to
do anything to them, and you don't worry about justice.
That's what happened with Democrats. They convinced themselves that Trump
was hitler, that everybody like you and me who was

(09:39):
voting for him was on the wrong side of history,
and that we deserved whatever awfulness might come as a
result of that choice that we had made. I don't
think that most people out there on the Trump side
truly believe that every Democrat is evil voter. I think

(10:00):
many of us I know I'm in this camp, actually
believe that they just don't hear the arguments. This is
why I went to the University of Chicago this week.
I think we have the better side of arguments, and
I really do believe that if I were able, and
you were able, and lots of people out there were
able to make the case of why our side is right,

(10:21):
which is the entire basis of the marketplace of ideas,
I think we would win. I think a lot of
these people out there that vote Democrat they just don't
hear the arguments. We hear, you and I We know
every single argument that Democrats are going to make. I
think that's important A lot of you do as well,
because you can analyze what they say and explain why

(10:43):
you disagree with it. When they decide that we're hitler
and we're evil, they don't even bother to engage with
our argument. You remember, like that woman who from The
Atlantic when I said that Mayor Pete wasn't a strong
masculine person. What was her response is that engage I
wasn't even thinking about the fact that he's gay, because
his masculinity doesn't have anything to do directly with his sexuality.

(11:06):
I just think when you are chest feeding and you
have a surrogate have your baby, and you climb into
the bed which you're soon going to see buck and
pretend that you were delivering the baby in the photo,
it's super weird and not particularly masculine. I don't think
that that is an attack on Mayor Peek for being gay.

(11:29):
They're super like, your sexuality doesn't define your badass. Noess
right to me, there are a lot of people out
there who are gay that could probably beat the crap
out of me right And I'm not saying that I'm
some crazy alpha mel But the fact that her response
to that is immediately is that a gay joke and
not it's an attack on the masculinity of the Democrat
Party is emblematic to me of the era in which

(11:52):
democrats have created where they don't even engage on arguments themselves.
They focus on trivial details to try to avoid having
the real debate. I think that's all very well said.
I'll take some of your calls here eight eight sorry,
eight hundred two A two two eight A two. I
don't know why that happens to me sometimes. Also get
some of your talkbacks and Clay, are we going to

(12:13):
address the best romantic movie I for alpha males to
watch with their wife on Valentine But as we go
to break here as a tease, is there a romantic
comedy that you legitimately like and would be willing tonight
if your significant other said, hey, we have to watch

(12:34):
a romantic comedy that you would be like, Yeah, okay,
that's I mean, I'm not opposed to this. I Am
going to marinate with that for a minute here, and
we will come back with answers, and you can send
us your answers, and I assure you we will make
fun of Clay's answer, so stay with it. So, look,
I want to talk to you about Preborn for a

(12:54):
minute here, because it does such amazing work I've seen
the work up close and personally myself. I met with
a woman who had preborn helper through a difficult pregnancy,
gave her an ultrasound and she realized, oh my gosh,
I've got a little baby in my stomach, and she
gave birth to that little girl. I met the little girl.
She's a few years old. It's such an incredible mission
they have and all they're doing is just helping and

(13:17):
it's godly and it's beautiful. But they need your help.
They can't do this without donations from you. It's the
pro life community that entirely funds this entity. I have
given them money just on my own, separately from doing
this show or anything. I believe in what Preborn does.
And all of you who are pro life, yes, voting
the right way matters, but supporting those who are on

(13:38):
the front lines lines saving lives every day something that
you really should consider. And if you can, please donate
today for just twenty eight dollars, you can sponsor an
ultrasound for a mom who is mom to be. I
should say, who is considering do I have an abortion
or do I give life to this baby? These preborn
clinics are saving so many lives in this way, and

(14:00):
that ultrasound is a game changer. One hundred percent of
your donation to Preborn goes to saving lives. To donate,
dial pound two five zero from your phone and say
the keyword baby. That's pound two point fifty. Say the
keyword baby. Or go to preborn dot com, slash buck,
Preborn dot com slash b u c K sponsored by Preborn.

(14:22):
Sometimes all you can do is laugh.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
And they do a lot of it with the Sunday
Hang join Clay and Buck as they lap it up
in the Clay and Buck podcast feed on the iHeartRadio
app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Welcome back into Clay and Buck. We're getting ready for
the weekend here, and it is it is a Friday,
it is Valentine's Day. You still have if you're listening
to this and you are not yet home from work, guys,
you still have time to go get flowers. I know
everyone says roses, just flowers. Just make sure you get
the flowers. Okay, if you want to add some chocolate,

(14:58):
that's your call. Little teddy Bear I got Carrie a
little teddy Bear last year with the flowers and ginger
got a hold of it, and that teddy bear was
didn't go up. It looked it looked like because I left,
I left the dog here. So the flowers and the
teddy Bear were on a table and Ginger took the
teddy bear and it was like it was put in
a blender. So it almost was like a horror thing,
you know. It's like the teddy Bear's eye and arm

(15:19):
was like on the ground anyway, So I don't know
about the teddy bear. If you have a dog, that's
up to you. But we're talking romantic comedy movies, which
I'm probably gonna get I'm probably gonna get roped into
watching one tonight. I'm gonna throw into the mix that
we will probably do. I've been trying to get Carrie
to watch sant Elmo's Fire with me because she's never

(15:41):
seen sant Elmo. I don't think I've ever seen that movie.
Oh like twenty somethings who just got out of Georgetown.
You would like it. You and Lauren would like it.
It's a little dated, you know, but there's some there's
some cool Rob low Is in it. Emlio Estevez, you know,
it's got a it's got a for our generation. It
definitely has some some something going on. Clay was he

(16:01):
was confiding in me, and when he confided sometimes off air,
I'm just thinking, well, how do we just bring this
up on the show so that a couple of million
people can hear it? You know, I think that's better.
You watched a rom com recently, solo to on airplay
flight for Laura. Why don't you tell us what it was,
Clay and how emotional did it make you feel? It

(16:21):
was good? I'm gonna be I understand if when by
the time I next two minutes, you're gonna say, Clay
Travis has to be voting. He had to vote for
Kamala just based on this answer. I was on a
cross country flight. I didn't have any responsibilities or obligations.
I'm scrolling through on my available list of movies, and

(16:42):
I watched anyone but you. I chose to watch a
rom com, the Glenn Powell and Sidney Sweeney Australia romantic comedy,
and I was I was giggling. I was, I was
laughing throughout this romantic comedy. You were saying this, how
it came up that there haven't been that many romantic

(17:04):
comedies made recently, which I think is true. I don't
think they're making as many of them as they used to,
or maybe they're going straight to streaming. They're not going
to theaters. This one came out in theaters. I think
it was actually a big hit. I didn't see it
in the theater, but full disclosure you if you were
on my flight cross country, I think it was from
l DC to LA. I was giggling and watching anyone

(17:27):
but you in the past couple of months, not about
Clay Travis. That Clay Travis out of ten? What are
we giving this rom com move? I've never even heard
of it, so you just brought this up. Well, Sidney
Sweeney is nearly topless for much of the movie, which
elevates it massively in my world. And Glenn Powell, I'm
told if you are a woman, is about as good
looking as a male actor can be, and he is

(17:48):
nearly nude throughout the movie as well. I would give
it an eight. I would give it a solid eight
for romantic comedy, maybe a seven and a half. If
you need a recent movie, we'll talk more and have
some more fun about this. But no, I understand I'm
not a white dude for Kamala, even though I may
have just admitted to watching that movie. Look. US Navy
Lieutenant Bradley Foster's story defines dedication and service to country.

(18:12):
He's inspired by his father's own military service felt a
deep calling to serve his country too. He became a
pilot in the US Navy and got combat and aaron
combat training and was awarded the National Defense Service Medal.
Bradley's goal was to be the best pilot and leader
he could also be while being a great husband and
father to his wife, Beth and baby girl Audrey. Tragically,

(18:34):
Bradley's life was cut short by a helicopter crash off
the coast of San Diego. Tunnel to Towers provided his
family with a mortgage free home and his honor. Show
your support for heroes like Bradley and their families. Donate
eleven dollars a month to Tunnel to Towers at T
two t dot org. That's t the number two t
dot org. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show.

(18:55):
I understand if none of you can trust me ever again,
because I said anyone but you as bad romantic comedy
to watch or having fun on Valentine's Day, Valentine that
Trump just gave to all of us who are still
angry about what the country went through during COVID buck
During that last commercial break, you and I were catching
up on the latest news, which often is popping as
we are live. Trump just signed an executive order removing

(19:19):
all federal funds from any school that requires the COVID
shot as a part of its vaccine mandates. This is
a big deal because I believe there's still around twenty
universities that mandate for all students in order to be
enrolled that you have to have gotten the COVID shot,
and initially it was all of them, but that has

(19:41):
rapidly declined, and this will end that because all of
those universities just about are receiving in some form or fashion,
federal funds. And Trump taking this action is along with
his executive order allowing anyone who was fired for not
getting the COVID shot to come back at full rank

(20:03):
military all those things. Look, Trump was not perfect on COVID.
His actions in the White House as we continue to
deal with the fallout of COVID, I think have been
one hundred percent accurate. Look, I want to see more
of this. I want to see who's who's in charge of?

(20:23):
Uh N I H. Where do we get? We got
doctor McCarey's in charge of what is he at?

Speaker 2 (20:28):
D A?

Speaker 1 (20:29):
I think I think is in charge of N I H?
Unless I flip that, Uh yeah, I can't remember anyway.
Are the good, the good COVID docs, the ones who
were sound and scientific and serious are in charge of
some of these these entities? Now we need to have
an official government uh compilation of all of all the

(20:49):
mask data and and has to be otherwise this is
going to happen again. Yeah, it has to be put
out there that the whole thing was a complete waste
of time and utterly and totally worthless. Uh you know,
and and and officially and put the data out there
so can see, don't crimpy. Well, you have to do
something else. Also, I think RFK is going to do this.
You're going to have to compile all of the the vaccine,

(21:10):
the COVID vaccine data and find out what, really, why
aren't we hearing anything about safety since that happened? Why
haven't they they They've had so much more time and
so much more information to work through. So a lot
of this still still needs to be done. There should
be an official sort of public I think unveiling of
a new pandemic plan, which would be for other administrations

(21:34):
going forward. You don't shut down, Okay, shutting down is
idiotic because you never really shut down. So all you
do is allow some people to you know, order in
a lot of takeout food and do zoom from their couch,
while most of the rest of the people are still
like it makes no sense. The whole thing was stupid
beyond words, But there are these weird rules. I still

(21:55):
think that if you're getting a visa to the US,
some people who run up against problems with the COVID vaccine.
To this day, I don't know all the different insidet
but I know that if you're going to be a
legal immigrant to America, I think you have had to
get the COVID vaccine. They've got to reverse all that
stuff and the fact that they would require a COVID

(22:16):
vaccine before you go to school on what basis? Why
would you you make people get a measles vaccine so
that they won't give other people measles? A COVID vaccine
has does absolutely nothing to stop anyone from giving the

(22:36):
virus to anybody else. And whatever happened to covid, does
it not exist anymore? Where did it go? Also, vaccine
should exist for viruses that are dangerous if you don't
get it, polio, measles, mumps, something that could kill you,
by and large, if you're a young child, you get

(22:56):
COVID to the extent that it still exists. To your point,
all of a sudden, the flu is back. Nobody's getting COVID,
but you get it because of the danger that it
can bear. Not only is it not stopping commutic cability,
which is a huge flaw. It's not actually a vaccine
then right, it's like a prophylactic, it's like tail and all.
But also, if you get it, there is no real danger.

(23:20):
We got a bunch of people who went a weigh in,
by the way, much less serious, but I did want
to share that news because it is a very positive.
Stephanie in Kentucky wants to weigh in. We're taking some calls.
Final hour of the week, Happy Valentine's Day. Stephanie, what
should people watch?

Speaker 2 (23:34):
Well, I have a very unconventional pick, but if you'll
give me like fifteen seconds to make the case for
it for the couples that are maybe not into romantic comedy.
So you've got to have an understanding girlfriend or wife
who's not expecting romantic comedy. But one of the most
romantic movies I think is out there is actually Spartacus.
And I know this is probably more of Buck Salley
maybe UCLA history guy, but it's it's very subtle, but

(23:58):
I think it's the most romantic movie out there, just
like the the artistry of making.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Can I just tell you, I'm gonna make this pitch
to carry and I'm gonna put this on you, Okay,
I'd be like, honey, you know what romantic movie we
should watch tonight? Spartacus about the slave revolt against the Romans.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, to be okay with a little gladiatorial combat and
ancient civilization warfare. But if you can put up with
that mixed in with again really subtle but super sexy romance,
I think I think it's a perfect movie if you
have a girl who's into that.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
I actually like the I think it was like a cinemax,
which anytime you say cinemax now people think I don't
know where you No, you stopped that sir. It was
a remake of Spartacus. It was a series, though not
a movie, very very it was like three hundred. They
kind of did a three hundred approach to it, which

(24:52):
is I love that movie. By the way, it's a
I think three. I wish they had done a whole
bunch of historical graphic novel three hundred kind of things.
But the Spartakle Show was do you know what I'm
talking about? It was very good.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
It was.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
It was one of those channels. I do know what's
talking about. But I'm just laughing about your Cinemax start.
I'm like, are you gonna tell us about Emmanuel is Cinemax?
It just turned into Skinemax and everybody thinks of it
that way, which is pretty remarkable for a channel like that.
But I never saw I never saw such things. If
any of the b O O B s comes on

(25:24):
the screen, I have heard my eyes and change the
channel right away. Skin Amax, remember that was they called it. Yeah, Stephanie,
by the way, thank you for the call. I think
it was Stephanie. I'll just point out Gladiator actually has
pretty romantic aspects as well. She's mentioning Spartacus Pam in
Rhode Island. Pam, what do you suggest?

Speaker 3 (25:46):
Hello?

Speaker 1 (25:48):
One of my.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Most favorite movies ever in the world is called Moonstruck
with Ship and it's got Nicholas Cage, Ncent Gardinia mcoccus.
It's excellent.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
I hear that movie is great and I have never
seen it. So I'm actually gonna take this recommendation to
the bank. I'm gonna tell Kerry we're watching it. Thank
you for the call. I think it's a great call.
That is a very famous I jotted down. Do you
have one that you legit I mentioned anyone but you
because it's recent, Glenn Powell, Sidney Sweeney, pretty entertaining. Do

(26:22):
you have any that you actually think I'll give you. Well,
I'll give you three that I jotted down. First of all,
we had a dispute because there is sometimes a category
bleed over here. But you gotta draw some lines here, Clay,
Can I just throw you under the bus for a second.
Clay's like, my favorite romantic comedy is Happy Gilmore like,
that's not an romantic comedy. That's Madison, Billy Madison, the

(26:46):
wedding singer. Not giving me credit for those Okay, you
did say maybe on this one. Wedding Crashers, Wedding Crashers,
legitimately hysterical movie. Again, there's a balancing act between is
it more comedy or row romance? Historic like you know,
like meaning that it's a classic when Harry met Sally?

(27:07):
What about Clueless? You're a clueless in the nineties. It's
a great movie, a great movie. Uh, there's something about Mary.
Probably you're gonna say more on the comedy side. That's comedy,
groundhog Day comedy, all right, ground great movie, all right,
And here is definite comedy, I mean, sorry, definite romance.

(27:29):
Love actually, Love Actually, I find that one depressing. I
find that depressing. Well, I mean, the guy is in
love with his best friend's wife. That dude, vote him
off the I'm not saying that every single part of
Love Actually is incredibly Alan Rickman of Hans Gruber Diehard

(27:50):
Fame getting his sort of office, you know, the office tart,
the necklace and the wife finding out. Give it away,
the whole show, you give it away, the movie. It's
been twenty something years if you haven't seen it. Girard
agrees with me, and Gerard is a man's man. He
knows what's up. I'm just saying, what about us forgetting
Sarah Marshall romance or comedy? Which comes down on that.

(28:14):
I like that movie a lot, and it is the best.
It is the best thing Russell Brand has ever been
in by far. Uh And I would say comedy, not
I don't think it's a romantic I then you're probably
gonna say comedy on forty year old virgin. Yes, yes,
when they're ripping his chest hair off, you're not wondering
is who's he gonna end up with at the end?
All right? So those are mine? So what's your answer?

(28:35):
What would you did you give me wedding Crashers? Because
wedding Crashers is legitimately a year Clay is playing. He's
dancing along the edge here with this stuff. He's doing
a lot of like like Frat Frat Boy comedy. Set's
like Old School is a love story, a tremendous It's
one of the great love stories of our time, basically
the Romeo and Juliet of two thousand and two. You know,

(28:56):
I think if you're really talking rom coms, the top
of the genre, which I may have been forced to
watch by various girlfriends in an earlier life things like
You're talking Sleepless in Seattle, You've got Male These are
awful Filmsend's Wedding, I know, but that's the real canon

(29:16):
of rom com. See, you're you're, you're, you're blending comedy
into rom com separate genres like Animal House is not
a rom com, it's a comedy. Like you need to
have this is not nom There are rules Clay like
they need to be and and I think that those
those movies really, uh, those kind of typify the the
romantic comedy. You know, it was really dominant Dinner for

(29:37):
a while with Julia Roberts, you know, my best friend's
wedding and she was in it. And also Hugh Grant
was in all these movies. Matthew McConaughey did a bunch
of them. Who's the pretty girl that Matthew McConaughey did
a bunch The daughter of Goldie Hawns. Yeah, yeah, Goldie
Hawn's daughter, Kate Hudson, Kate Hudson was in all these
movies back in the day. I like, I like Kate Hudson.

(29:59):
I was a fan. I was a fan and George
Roberts fan. To be honest with you, so I really
I'm a tough customer. Pretty Woman is. My wife was
talking about this the other day because that sinister and
disturbing movie. It is like for a movie that was
like considered to be heartwarming and everything else, like It's slay,

(30:20):
it is bizarre. The whole thing is terrible. This guy
finds a street walker and pays her and falls in
love with her, and like, the whole thing is nuts. Yeah,
and uh, anyway, I I have not watched it recently,
but my wife came across it on Classic Film Network
or something and she was talking about it with me.
She said, have you really was like, no, I haven't
thought about Pretty Woman and you know, thirty years or however,

(30:43):
forty years, however long amids like the you know, second
Missus Doubtfire reference to that, which I is still a
movie that I love. Second Missus Doubtfire reference if you
have not seen it, The YouTube if Missus Doubtfire was
a horror movie trailer is one of the great Like
it's it's timeless. It is so fun because they take
the actual trailer and just change the voiceover and the

(31:04):
commentary and you're like, this is a terrifying movie. The
whole premise of Robin Williams dressed up in this like
fat old lady suit and like hovering around children. It
is creepy, but it's a great movie. I mean they've
done a great job with that. I just watched Cobra
Kai the conclusion with my kids last night, which was great.
The Karate Kid extension it's on Netflix, but I'm sure

(31:26):
you've seen the Daniel was Actually the Bad Guy compilation
from Karate Kid where they make Johnny out to be
the good guy and like everything Daniel did, and it
actually they reference it in Cobra Kai some but it
is actually super fascinating the way they can put things together.
We were watching Lioness, Carrie wanted to watch it. You know,
a lot of sort of girl power stuff. Just if

(31:46):
one of you knows Taylor Sheridan, I respect the good
work that he's done in some other projects Lioness Slapdash.
Tell him to hire me as a consultant so that
when he actually has people talking about the CIA, it
doesn't sound like someone just scaned Wikipedia for fifteen seconds
has absolutely no idea about anything. Nothing. Taylor Sheridan, I
think is making so much money that I mean and

(32:11):
the Yellowship would throw a little bit my way so
that his show about the CIA isn't clown level. Because
it's clown level. I think he's making hundreds of millions
of dollars a year, and I actually we should invite
I don't know that you come on, but we should
invite Taylor Sheridan on the show. I don't know if
it'll come on now, Thanks klay Well. I unlike Buck,
I'm impressed with your entire he loves, he loves tell Sheridan.

that organic roast for you. So now we do. Uh,
we lost, But we were about to go to Bill
in Las Vegles, was going to in Bill was all

(35:06):
in on the Rocky movies as the greatest romance run.
Now see is now romance is a different category even
than romantic comedy, right, like correct, Shakespeare in Love is
a romance film, not a romantic comedy obviously, right. So
although in the Shakespearean sense, I guess it is a comedy,
but that's a whole other conversation. Then, you could have.

(35:29):
I'm trying. You know, there's all those romance movies. I
don't think guys can usually get through. Also, there's we
were talking romantic comedy and you were, you know, shooting
down a lot of mind saying they're way more comedy
than romance. I mean you could also say, for instance,
like the Indiana Jones movies, there's a lot of adventure
romance too. I'm just here to keep you honest, buddy.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
I mean, you're trying to sneak Happy Gilmore in the
rom com category. Adam Sandler would would not allow it.
I mean that's crazy talk. So uh oh, that's it.
Were for closing up shop here, that's right. I forgot so.
I don't know you you've never seen set Almost Fire.
I don't know. It's a little dated. I don't know
if you'd like it. I mean I wrote it down
to add to the to the repertoire I can give

(36:13):
everybody out there. I watched the final five episodes of
Cobra Kai really fun. And if you have, if you
liked Karate Kid in the eighties and you haven't checked
this thing out on Netflix, you'll like it. Mystic Pizza
with Julia Roberts. I've always seen it. Should I see
that one because a crazy on a date is something
that I've experienced many times. Uh, that one's been out

(36:34):
a long time. I think that's the first movie really
that kind of made Julia Roberts famous before A Pretty
Woman kind of put her into the stratosphere. That was okay.
I mean I didn't think it was like Blockbuster Moons Struck.
I think we're going Moon's. I'll go old school, great
romantic cook at this, look at this,
