Guys, gals and nothing in between. Fuel your day@chalk.com Bold, reverent and occasionally random. The Sunday Hang with Clay and Buck podcast starts now. So I talked about on Friday the fact that I was going to go to a couple of plays solo. Weather was awful. I went to go see Denzel Washington, Jake Gyllenhaal in Othello. That was an incredible experience. Really cool to see one of the greatest actors of his generation in Denzel Washington playing the title role in a Broadway performance in a theater that does not seat that many people, where you could really experience the incredible talent of someone of Denzel Washington's ability. That was really fun. I wanted to find something to do. I was in New York City solo. Weather was awful. I had to be up super early in the morning. So I don't want to go out late any for dinner or any sort of events on Friday or Saturday because of the alarms going off at 4:15 in the morning. And so I knew I had to be up early. I had to be fresh. I had to be good on television for four hours. So I didn't want to do anything late. I went to a matinee for Othello on Saturday. To the extent that any of you have trips coming up, I think that is running until mid June. I thought it was extraordinary, really impressive. I'm glad that I went. But I also went to Good Night and Good Luck, which is George Clooney's play about Edward R. Murrow and the idea being that media should hold powerful people accountable. And it goes back in time and you guys know I'm a history nerd. It goes back in time to the era of the House UN American Activities Committee with the junior senator, as he keeps calling him from Wisconsin, and everything surrounding that entire McCarthy era, what was and was not Communist infiltration in America. And Clooney plays Edward R. Murrow, and the journalists are the story and the heroes of this entire play. And it goes back to, again, 1950s era America with the McCarthy hearings that are going on in the Senate and Murrow, George, George Clooney's character plays the 1950s crusading journalist Edward R. Murrow, who is trying to stand up to McCarthy and ends up in a really contentious relationship before eventually McCarthy is brought down by some of the overreach of his investigation. And the CBS News journalists in general are the stars of the play. You guys know, making fun of myself. I don't like musicals, so I was not going to go see any musical. But Othello was great and I didn't dislike Good Night and Good Luck. So if some of you are going on vacation or some of you are listening to us on wor, you're going to be in New York. I didn't have any issues with the play itself, but at the end of the play, as George Clooney is delivering a monologue, they start behind him to show a lot of different media coverage since the 1950s. And so they show John F. Kennedy being assassinated. They show Walter Cronkite reacting to it, if I remember correctly. They show on up Reagan Berlin Wall being torn down, the 1990s era, CNN coverage of the first Gulf War, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, all of the things that the media has covered. And as Clooney is delivering a monologue, he is saying that there's a line in the play where the CBS executive says, well, at some point, what if there isn't an Edward R. Murrow? They're fighting for what the truth is, and they're trying to indict both sides. There are clips as the, as the cavalcade of imagery continues. There are clips from Fox News, from MSNBC to their credit. They even include the defense of Joe Biden's mental acuity as evidence of why you shouldn't trust the media. And that runs all the way up to the present day. Of course, they take shots at Fox News over dominion and all those different things. Again, it's sort of a matrix like blanket of television imagery behind Clooney as he is delivering his closing monologue in the guise of Edward R. Murrow. And then it ends. The very final image that you see is of Elon Musk not tapping his chest and then trying to gesture to all of the people in the crowd to say, thank you from the bottom of my heart, which is what Musk was trying to do. It doesn't show you the tapping on the chest. It only shows him doing what was described in the media as a Nazi salute. And so it freezes on Musk for the entire theater to see. And everyone, by and large, at least 2/3, 75% of the audience, gasps as if, oh, my goodness, look at how far America has fallen, that Elon Musk is doing a Nazi salute on the state in front of all these people. Except it's not true, and we talked about this back in January. Again, he taps his heart and I'll admit somewhat awkwardly, is trying to salute the different parts of the arena as public speakers might do. But the way they clipped it, they left it with him giving what they were clearly intending to show to be a Nazi salute. And the crowd gasped. And I just found it to be such a fascinating window into this sort of New York City liberal mind. And I would love to talk. I'm sure they won't. Come on. I'll have producer Ali invite whoever did the screenwriting for the play, whatever you call the playwriting, I guess, or George Clooney himself, to try to explain what their intent is, because the entire message of the play is be careful, trusting the media and people in positions of authority because they can easily play on your emotions and lead you astray. And then the play itself ends with George Clooney's play insinuating that Elon Musk gave a Nazi salute, which he didn't actually do. And all of the emotional reaction from inside of the play is, oh, my goodness, can you believe what this awful right wing Elon Musk is doing? We've allowed an actual Nazi to ascend into some position of power. And what I find so incredibly intriguing about this is on a beneficial, generous reading of this, it's actually the playwrights ridiculing the vast majority of the audience that is watching the play, because you can make an argument, I don't think it's a crazy one, that they're actually satirizing, mocking the fact that all of these people think they're above being played for fools by the media, you can make that read. And if they did it, it's somewhat diabolical, and it's lacerating in its penetrate, penetrating criticism of the people that think they're the smart ones and that they're above being played. I don't think they're doing that, but that's a generous reading of what the intent was by showing that Elon Musk image, More likely, I think George Clooney and all of the other leftists involved in putting on this play are lighting the entire message of their play on fire by using an image that doesn't reflect what it actually was in an effort to try to demonstrate how dangerous unchecked government can be. And in actuality, they did an entire play talking about how great it is that the media could hold powerful people accountable. And then at the end of the play, they undercut the entire message of the play by showing that modern media is actually incapable of giving an honest portrayal and recitation of what's truly happening in the country. And the vast majority of the people in that audience had no earthly idea what the total context of the Musk salute was. And I think it's incredibly important to talk about this and hold them accountable. Elon Musk has responded to the tweets that I put out. I'll share what Elon Musk said, but in a larger context, some of you are saying, well, I don't know why you would pay to go see a George Clooney play. I do it for the same reason that I read the New York Times and the Washington Post every morning. I don't think you strengthen your own arguments without confronting the arguments that others are making. I am confident that I could make left wing arguments better than most left wingers because I study and read them more. The reason why I make the arguments to you every single day is because I'm confident that they're the best arguments. But you can't cover up your ears and run and hide from popular culture. You have to engage with it in order to be able to win arguments. I would argue one reason why left wingers have started to do so poorly when they're actually questioned is because they live in an ecosystem that never challenges the basics of their opinion. Which is why I think Ron DeSantis wiped the floor with Governor Gavin Newsom of California, if you remember, in the Sean Hannity debate that those guys had, because Newsom is not used to being pressed, because he lives in a world where the media bathes him in adulation all the time. Me, many of you. A lot of us who have sought out our own experiences to reach the conclusions and the opinions that we have, we've had to grapple with and consider left wing opinion in a way that they never consider right wing opinion. So I'm going to open up the phone lines, but I wanted to share that experience with you because if I hadn't gone, I don't know that very many people would be talking about something like this at all. And I also thought that gasp, that moment when the audience gasped as if Elon Musk were an actual Nazi was so revealing because they buy into things that are beyond a shadow of a doubt, not actually remotely true. And someone like George Clooney profits off it while lecturing all of us about the importance of trust in media. I just, it was such an interesting moment for me on Friday night when I was watching that play and I had that, that moment, that shocking revelation of the Nazi salute, which wasn't actually a Nazi salute, but I felt like I might have been the only guy in the entire theater who knew the full context of that. And I felt like it was so profoundly dishonest by Clooney and everyone who was involved in the play.

Producer Ali
First of all, I have not forgotten. All right, I'm just going to say this on the air. I. I owe a few debts here. Um, I owe Clay another steak dinner. I don't know if we're going to get like a whole dance number. But he did beat me in the NCAA bracket, and so I will. I w. He did. He. He smoked me. I was a little. I. I talked some trash to try to throw him off his game, but he won the NCAA bracket challenge against me. Okay, I owe our friend Jesse Kelly a dinner, and we can cut this and send it to him. I owe him a dinner at Red Lobster where I am to be photoed putting the lobster bib on him as well as picking up his meal. Now, I don't know if Jesse's big time. He's, you know, getting. He's got a lot of stations, a lot of audience now, 6 to 9 Eastern on Premier networks. I don't know if he's too big time for Red Lobster now, but, you know, Jesse, maybe now, you know, you got to take off your top hat and your monocle to crack your lobster tail. I don't know if you. But I am willing to make good on my bet. So I just have to find a time when I'm either in Texas or he's in Florida, and I will take him out to Red Lobster as promised. But I had another promise, Clay, that I was reminded of recently. And, you know, producer Mark worked with me on my show from which was. Which was previously 6 to 9 on Premier Networks. Mark has been with me for years. And, you know, he always. He's like. He was like my mom who made sure I did my homework. Like, I did all the reads that I had to do and everything. I mean, he was always there. And I said, buddy, you know what? Cause I made. I made some untoward remarks. I'm just gonna. I made some untoward remarks about ice hockey. And producer Mark was like, how dare you? You will love it if I take you to. If we go to a game. And I said, all right, we're gonna go to a game. And then Covid happened. I mean, this is like weeks before COVID right? So it was maybe January of 2020 or December of 2020 or, you know, December of 2019. So I never got to take him to the game. And I was reminded of this because the team, we started talking about hockey one day, and so they are going to a Rangers game later this week. I mean, I can't go because I live in Florida now. But Mark, Ally, and producer Greg, three of our producers, are going to arrangers game, so they will give us the full report afterwards because I made a promise on the air. I mean, I can't not send producer Mark, who loves, loves Ice hockey. I mean, I would talk smack about ice hockey just to get a rise out of him because it would work every time. He loves his ice hockey. So, producer Ali, Producer Ali, have you gone to an ice hockey game before? Is this like a first for you or have you. It's a for two clay.
- [16:19]
Producer Mark
You've never been to an, you've, you've never been to an NHL game?
- [16:25]
Producer Ali
No.
- [16:25]
Producer Mark
She vanished. Like I don't know where she went. But that's staggering to me that you could live in New York City as producer Ali was as a single woman for many years. And Moby, who, who used to want to be.
- [16:40]
Producer Ali
I'm pretty sure the, the Porcelain album is just about Moby's heartbreak from producer Ali turning him down. I don't know. Totally.
- [16:47]
Producer Mark
I mean, you made it. You made him famous. I'm. I know Moby's not the most masculine guy, but I can't believe he didn't try to sweep you off your feet by taking you to a Rangers game. Have you been to a Knicks game?
- [16:56]
Producer Greg
Yes, I've been to soccer. I've been to Mets, Yankees, baseball. That's it.
- [17:03]
Producer Mark
I would think, Buck, you were a single guy in New York City is going to like a Yankees, a Mets and Knicks or Rangers game, not a, like go to dating activity. Like I would think that's a no brainer.
- [17:14]
Producer Ali
It's a strong move. The problem is that, is that Knicks tickets are insanely super expensive. Yeah. You know, and even though the Knicks generally stink and have forever the worst, the worst operated managed major sports franchise, I would argue probably in, in America.
- [17:29]
Producer Mark
So what's the most you ever spent on a first date? First date. Not like somebody you're dating with. Did you ever like $300, $400 meal? Like what, like what was the standard average cost and what was like a high end. Like, I'm really gonna try to blow it away here.
- [17:45]
Producer Ali
I, I try, I honestly, I try to do a drink first. I try to kind of inspect what's going on before I would commit to a, commit to dinner. Some of you are going to say this is going to sound insane. And in parts of the country, you know, like I was just in Tucson and unless you're at the Four Seasons or something, I don't think you're going to spend $200 a dinner a whole lot of places, but that's pretty much for a dinner for two in New York City at like a date restaurant. Table steaks, 200 bucks.
- [18:09]
Producer Mark
Well, it's alcohol too, right? You're probably having at least wine or something like, with that.
- [18:13]
Producer Ali
But I mean, you're not. You're not getting out of a restaurant. You know, when I was growing up, it was more like, you know, 100, 120. But now, table stakes, $200. So dating in New York is, is. Is a very expensive problem.
- [18:23]
Producer Mark
Did any woman ever pay for you on a first date? Any cost?
- [18:29]
Producer Ali
I absolutely never allowed a woman to pay for or split a first date in my entire life, including dates where I thought about pulling the fire alarm. It's like, actually, I was like, how do I get out of here?
- [18:43]
Producer Mark
Do you, Allie, have you ever paid for a first date?
- [18:47]
Producer Greg
Oh, sadly, yes, I have. As a knee.
- [18:50]
Producer Mark
So how did that happen? Did he say, like, hey, can we split? Or how did, how did you end.
- [18:55]
Producer Greg
Up paying the old splits a roof. And I wish I could have pulled the fire alarm too.
- [18:59]
Producer Mark
When you were dating the guy, were you like, this is in, this is over. He's made me pay for half the ticket on the first date.
- [19:05]
Producer Greg
Well, I think to your point, they want you to feel like you're this empowered New York woman.
- [19:10]
Producer Ali
Oh, man. Ali's been on some dates back in the day with some male feminists. We're glad you ended up with Gerard, who is a stunningly handsome man and an alpha male. Yeah, just. Just speaking truth here. He's kind of a Maloogian. I mean, he's kind of a Maloogen.
- [19:23]
Producer Mark
Very, very attractive man. I got to play this back for. Literally. Literally. Tall, dark, and handsome. I mean, you can legitimately say all three things.
- [19:30]
Producer Ali
All three of those things. Moby is. I don't think any of those things. I think Moby is the opposite.
- [19:38]
Producer Mark
Poor Moby. Yeah. Short.
- [19:40]
Producer Ali
He's getting lit up here.
- [19:41]
Producer Mark
Super white. I don't even know that he can tan and not particularly good looking. Yeah, you've done well for yourself, Ali.
- [19:49]
Producer Ali
So let's get.
- [19:50]
Producer Mark
He should have taken her to a Rangers game. They might be together today.
- [19:53]
Producer Ali
Yeah. So I hope you guys have a great fun. We're going to hear. I want, I want to at least if producer Mark isn't in studio. Cause I know sometimes he's in studio, sometimes he's outside the studio. But let's get a talk back from him. And you guys can weigh in about the Rangers game on it here. Producer Ali, your first Rangers game experience and producer Mark. Buddy, I made you a promise. Keeping the promise. So I'm glad you're going to go see your Rangers, and I hope they. I hope they beat Whoever. And I hope there are many of those, those sort of fights that they have on the ice where they throw the gloves down. And it's very exciting. James from Hackensack, on our talk back, this is C.C. let's go. Oh, on your baby. This is James from Hackensack, New Jersey. I noticed that you named your son James. That's a very good move, my friend.
- [20:39]
Caller
A very good move.
- [20:41]
Producer Ali
All the best to you and your wife. Thank you. Thank you. He's James Speed Sexton. Speed is, in fact, my dad's middle name. And unlike me, he does drive very fast. So you can imagine this has led to some amusing conversations with state troopers in New York when they pull him over. So Speed is a family name, his mother's maiden name.
- [21:00]
Producer Mark
So that's Doc drives like a grandma. So this is. Maybe your son will get a little bit of the lead foot Gene.
- [21:07]
Producer Ali
Some of us like to call it safe driving, Clay. Safe driving. Dd. Ken from Lincoln, Nebraska. He listens on kfab, a great heritage radio station out there. What's going on?
- [21:17]
Caller
Congratulations, Buck and Carrie. God bless you on your beautiful baby. This is Ken from Lincoln.
- [21:25]
Producer Ali
Thank you. That's very. That's very kind. We get a lot of all right here. We, first of all, thank you all for the kind words about the baby thing. I think the one I might have said, this is the beginning of the show. But the one funny thing was I didn't really think about it because my wife had just been through, you know, it was a long labor. She was a champ. And as soon as I was holding this little bundle in my arms, I was like, can we have three more? And I realized, you know, a lot, lot easier for me to say. Right? Yeah, it's pretty easy for me to be like, let's just keep doing this. Like, let's keep this going. Let's keep this train rolling. And Carrie's like, can I, you know, recover a little bit more? So I say that it is.
- [22:00]
Producer Mark
It is pretty awesome. And I think that for anybody out there who's had a newborn, it's a lot of work. But when they start to start to reveal their personality, it just gets so much better and they start to smile at you and roll over and all of those process parts of raising a baby, I mean, you're just going to be ecstatic.
- [22:20]
Producer Ali
This is, this is to what Clay was talking about with Laura before. Mm. Kelly in Palm Beach, Florida, listens on WJNO. Let's play it.
- [22:29]
Caller
90 pairs of shoes. I've been married to my Wife for a few months. I've been with her for over a year and when I first met her, she has a little over a thousand.
- [22:39]
Producer Ali
I do not get thousand pairs of shoes. Where do you keep. Do you have like a. A tractor trailer full of shoes in the backyard? Where do you keep a thousand pairs of shoes?
- [22:49]
Producer Mark
Ali asked, and I think it's a good question. What do men have that is way more prominent than in other words, the sex? Right. Men would have it at 10x or 20x. What women have that's inside of a house, like possessions? The only thing I could think of. Tools.
- [23:10]
Producer Ali
Tools.
- [23:10]
Producer Mark
Okay. Tools is a good answer. I was going to go on the fashion front. T shirts. I don't ever want to throw away a T shirt. I bet I have 20x the number of T shirts of my wife going all the way Back to like 1990. Right.
- [23:25]
Producer Ali
Do you wear T shirts until they disintegrate? Because the most comfortable T shirts are the oldest T shirts. Because I do. I. Unless the hole is visible from like 10ft away, that T shirt's good to go.
- [23:35]
Producer Mark
And Laura gets rid of them. If I tried to get rid of any of her shoes, I think she would murder me. Like, she will get like that. T shirts too old. I'm going to throw it out. If I just said, yeah, I don't really like those shoes, they've been around too long. And I threw it away. I think she would strangle me to death while I was sleeping. I'm not even kidding. I think if I tried to get rid of any of her shoes. Now, to be fair, she keeps shoes for a really long time. But the amount of women fascination with shoes and I never really thought about it. It actually came up on Fox and Friends over the weekend. Our friend Shannon Bream was talking about the number of pairs of shoes she had. And Shannon made a comment that I never really thought about before. She said, unlike other clothes where you can weigh different amounts, like pretty much once you're an adult, you wear the same size shoe for, for the rest of your life. So you would have to have a major weight gain in order to not be able to put on a shoe. I never really thought about it before, but that actually makes some sense. And I was, I was blown away because we're in the process, like I said, of moving into a new house. And I was blown away when I walked into the bathroom and just saw all my wife's shoes arrayed there. But the number of women who've said, oh, I've got More than that, or, you know, for a woman around middle age, like, my wife is like that. You've been. Other words, you're not 16 or 18 years old, so you've had time to kind of collect shoes for a long time. I don't know that there's anything like it at all.
- [25:03]
Producer Ali
G.G. lloyd from New Braunfels, Texas, listens on W O A I. What's going on? Let's play it.
- [25:10]
Caller
Congratulations, Buck. I want to let you know that it takes a little bit of time before the mother forgets what it was like in labor and all the days approaching labor in about six to eight months. So don't talk about it till then.
- [25:30]
Producer Ali
What do you think, Clay? Good advice.
- [25:33]
Producer Mark
Your decision on to have a win baby number two is not going to be your decision. There's nothing that, like, I wouldn't even bring it up. Women control the baby process. Once you've got two, if you're like, I convinced my wife to have a third, I think she will. She'll be excited, and I think she'll come to you. I wouldn't even worry about it. Yeah, that would be my advice.
- [25:57]
Producer Ali
Greg, in Columbus, Ohio, we're talking about Columbus, where we're number one. What's going on, Greg?
- [26:06]
Caller
Not my own, but I got.
- [26:09]
Producer Ali
Yeah, you're on.
- [26:11]
Caller
And, yeah, I. You know, I. I almost got to talk to Rush when I was up in Grand Rapids 30 years ago, and I came, like, within seconds. Got to see G. Gordon at G. Gordon, Lydia at Studio 28 up there, though. But, yeah, okay. These nephews and they just think, you know, whenever I'm around, it's like, Uncle. Uncle Cray, and, you know, all that stuff. So I'll let. I'll let my brother do all the work, and I'll. I'll participate in the joy. But congrats anyways.
- [26:43]
Producer Ali
Thank you so much.
- [26:44]
Producer Mark
Okay, this is where producer Greg is, like, pulling his hair out because he's like, these people are amazing on the off air. And then you get them up and they just panic, and they go in, like, 20 different directions, and. And you don't know where you're going. But they ended with congrats, which was a good conclusion. Yeah.
- [27:01]
Producer Ali
I would say that being an uncle, which I was before I was a dad, it's a great kind of. It's like a great gateway to the dad thing because you get to spend time around the little person whose family, like my sister. This is my sister's boy, who is super cute. And during COVID I live very close to them a couple blocks away so I could go over and spend time and visit. And I was really around for a lot of his first two years. I mean, I would see him weekly for his first two years. And, you know, it's just. It's just great, man. I don't know. It's the whole. The whole thing. I mean, now I go downstairs and I'll go see my wife, my baby and my puppy, and life is good, Clay. You know, you're a family man. It's just fantastic.
- [27:43]
Producer Mark
It is fabulous. And I mean, again, have more kids. The world truly does depend on it. So we need more kids. Well, raised to grow up. You got a boy now. Especially young men growing up to be heads of households and help to raise other strong men and women. Be involved in your family. You're going to love it. I know a lot of the dads and granddads out there have been through what you're going through right now. It's head spinning, but it's pretty fabulous.
- [28:11]
Producer Ali
Edward in Tennessee. One more before we go into break here. What have you got for us, Edward? Not a lot, apparently. What's going on?
- [28:23]
Producer Mark
I'm gonna start keeping tally. There he is.
- [28:29]
Caller
Are you there?
- [28:30]
Producer Ali
Yeah. You're on a radio show, so you gotta say something or else we're gonna have to go to break. Go ahead.
- [28:34]
Caller
Yeah, I just want to say congrats on the baby. And I wanted to say that my middle name is Speed. It was my grandmother's maiden name and they wanted to keep it in the family.
- [28:44]
Producer Mark
Your relatives.
- [28:45]
Producer Ali
Exactly. It's my. Yeah, we might be related, my friend. It's my grandmother's maiden name. And that side of the family has roots in Kentucky because.
- [28:54]
Caller
Well, I think my grandmother has roots in Ohio.
- [28:59]
Producer Ali
Well, it's not far.
- [29:02]
Caller
She actually was living in Mississippi when she married my grandfather.
- [29:07]
Producer Ali
All right, well, we'll do the family tree off air here. Maybe we're second cousins or something, but thank you for calling in with that. But yes, Speed is a family name. We're going to call a little boy Speed, I think, is actually the way we're setting this thing up. But James, if he wants to just have like a normal name, you know what I mean? So that's why his first. It's like you. You're. We're both middle name as. As name people, but our first names are, you know, we so different.

Producer Mark
I was named after my two grandfathers. My mom liked Richard. Clay better than Clay. Richard, I will say Speed better not be the slowest kid on the Team like, you don't want to create that.
- [29:38]
Producer Ali
Yes, we need. We need him to be quick. But I mean, the, like, the Richard Travis show, it sounds like, I don't know, it sounds like you're selling timeshare somewhere. I like Clay Travis.
- [29:45]
Producer Mark
Could be worse. Could be the Dick Travis show. And then maybe people would say it was a totally different kind of show. Sunday drop with Clay and Buck.

Producer Ali
You know, there was a team outing last night, Clay. A long standing debt was paid because I had promised my old producer and still our producer, but my producer, when I was doing a solo show, producer Mark, as he became known to many in the audience, I told him, I said, because I was making fun of hockey. And he said, if you went to see it, you would love it. And then Covid happened, and there was no hockey for a long time. And then, you know, things fast forward. It's been a few years. So producer Mark, producer Ally, producer Greg went to see a Rangers game last night. Here's producer Mock weighing in. Play aa.

Producer Mark
Hey there, it's producer Mark. Just wanted to pop on and say a big thank you to Buck for buying us the tickets last night to the New York Rangers game with myself, producer Ally, and producer Greg. The Rangers may be absolutely atrocious this season, but. But it's always an amazing experience. To go to my favorite place in the world, Madison Square Garden, and to get to see producer Ally see her first ever live hockey game was truly an incredible experience. Her reaction to it. And Greg got to see his first ever Rangers game at MSG as well. So again, a big thank you to Buck. We really do appreciate it. And you've got to get to your own hockey game eventually with baby James. Maybe he'll become a hockey player one day. I promise you, Carrie and James will love the sport of hockey live. There's absolutely nothing better in the world. So again, a big thank you to Buck for the tickets and a thank you to you and Clay for all you guys do for us.
- [31:17]
But I know you're buying tickets for everybody. Good for you.
- [31:20]
Producer Ali
Yeah, of course. This is the. That's the debt. The debt, that is.
- [31:23]
Producer Mark
I didn't know. I. I somehow missed the debt. I think I. I knew they were going to the game.
- [31:27]
Producer Ali
No, I promised producer Mark on air that I would take him to a Rangers game and that, you know, I would get tickets for us to go to a Rangers game as penance for talking smack about ice hockey. Right. Because Mark, Producer Mark loves ice hockey. Now I find out producer Greg loves ice hockey. He was ready to throw the gloves on the ground and start throwing some sluggers over this.
- [31:47]
Producer Mark
What did you say negative about hockey?
- [31:49]
Producer Ali
Just, I was, you know, I was just poking him because he loves it so much. You know what I mean? It's like when I say you're old, even though we could have been in like the same, on the same high school team, it's just fun, you know, so it's just giving him the, giving him a little bit of a razzing.
- [32:02]
Producer Mark
We by the way, Madison Square Garden is a really cool place to go watch a sporting event. I have to say I've been there for NCAA tournament games.
