2. The Grocery Store Challenge Timestamp: [03:31 – 08:52]

A significant portion of the episode centers around the humorous and all-too-relatable experience of being sent to the grocery store by their wives. Both hosts share anecdotes about the pitfalls of grocery shopping, emphasizing the overwhelming variety of products and the challenges of meeting their spouses' exact requests.

• Buck: "Sometimes [my wife] sends me there and the item won't even be there... which my wife is amazing at finding out, whatever that would be. Just like with a premonition." (04:15)
• Clay: "I bet if you walk into your grocery store and look, I bet there's 26 different types [of cranberry juice]." (04:50)
• Buck: "I am really in a tough place because somehow I'm supposed to still get the item that they're out of stock on." (05:12)

They discuss the frustration of navigating aisles filled with similar products, often leading to either failing to find the specific item or returning empty-handed, much to the disappointment of their partners.

3. Listener Stories and Humor Timestamp: [08:52 – 09:34]

The episode introduces a listener story submitted by Kitty from California, who humorously recounts sending her husband to buy butter.

4. Marriage Dynamics and Communication Timestamp: [14:08 – 16:15]

Clay and Buck delve deeper into the complexities of marriage, particularly focusing on communication and expectations. They discuss scenarios where one partner's dreams or non-verbal cues lead to misunderstandings or unspoken tensions.

• Buck: "Do you know what I'm talking about... the item really wasn't there." (07:56)

Buck humorously shares his experience of being sent to the grocery store, only to return unsuccessful, leading to funny yet relatable marital frictions.

• Buck: "But what my wife will do is I won't be able inevitably to find whatever the specific brand and particular type of thing that I need." (04:50)

Clay raises an interesting point about the reciprocity of emotions in marriage, pondering why it seems acceptable for wives to be annoyed over certain things while men might not have the same leeway.

• Clay: "So why is it acceptable the opposite direction?" (16:12)

Buck responds by highlighting the inherent differences between men and women, suggesting that understanding and communication are key to navigating these challenges.

• Buck: "Men and women are different, buddy." (16:24)

[Jamie Rubin]

The Sunday Hang with Clay and Buck podcast starts now. We're coming up on, I think we'll be doing the show for four years in June here.

[Clay]

That's right.

[Jamie Rubin]

Paired up here for four years, which time has flown by. And since starting this show, I have gotten married and had a baby, which is very exciting. You're old hat at these things. You've been married for how long have you been married now?

[Clay]

Oh, man, now I'm going to get blown up. It'll be 21 years in August.

[Jamie Rubin]

21 years. Got three boys, 21 years. I've been married two years and change. And I got a baby. So, you know, we're, we're coming at this from, you know, we got the old grizzled veteran, we got the new guy on the block with this. But, you know, you don't always give me the heads up that I need on some things. Sometimes you do. But one that I've missed from you, Clay, because I expect you to give me early warning, is that no matter what I do, no matter how hard I try, when my wife sends me to the grocery store, I will fail to get the right items. And sometimes she will send me there and the item won't even be there. And then I am really in a tough place because somehow I'm supposed to still get the item that they're out of stock on, which my wife is amazing at finding out, whatever that would be. Just like with a premonition. So you didn't give me this heads up.

[Clay]

It is a real problem for husbands everywhere. I am sent with photos on the rare occasion when I need to get something of the product that I'm supposed to get because, well, we need to talk about this more. Maybe when we come back, we could. The amount of variety, I understand it's a great sign of American capitalism. But if you go to get, let's say, cranberry juice, I bet in your average grocery store there are 26 different versions of cranberry juice, right? Like, there isn't just like three cranberry juices. There's. I'm not kidding. I bet if you walk into your grocery store and look, I bet there's 26 different types. And what she will do is I won't be able inevitably to find whatever the specific brand and particular type of thing that I need. I'll return, say it's not there. She'll either ask for a Picture of the section to prove that I am unable to find it. Or she has then sometimes gone back herself to verify whether or not the product that I was supposed to get is there or not.

[Jamie Rubin]

I've reached the point now where when she texts me sometimes she will just then text me a couple minutes later, like, just forget it. I'll go get it myself. And then that just ups the ante for me. So then I want to try even harder, but I always fail at the grocery store.

[Clay]

Welcome to. Welcome to husband life.

[Jamie Rubin]

Sunday hang with Clay and Buck Joe.

[Clay]

From New York City. EE let's hear it.

[Jamie Rubin]

You want to see something funny? Go to the grocery store on Thanksgiving morning. You'll see 20 guys online with one item getting what their wife forgot to get during the week. And we all look scared to death because we know we got the wrong thing.

[Clay]

You know what I'm talking about. Those of you Ms. Buck has found out that men get sent to the grocery store and can never find what their wife actually wants. That thing about the number of products that are all eerily similar and the label might be just a subtle difference in color or whatever. I remember when we used to do for the formula, you know, when we would. We had the babies and my wife had stopped breastfeeding or supplements or whatever else. I remember standing in front of the supplement aisle for. For. For babies the first time that I did it, and I felt like I might as well have been. I mean, I had no idea what I was doing. And all of them just have a subtle little variation. A little bit different label color, little bit different size. And even with a picture, I'm going to be honest, I struggled to know what I was supposed to be getting. I think it was Similac back in the day.

[Jamie Rubin]

Let me ask you, when your wife says sends you for fruit Clay, which probably, you know, happens, and she says you got the organic kind right, Is it really a lie to just give yourself the benefit of the doubt because it looks the same?

[Clay]

I would lie. I would lie. And I wouldn't call it a lie because it's possible. You did get the organic kind. You didn't even realize.

[Jamie Rubin]

This is tie goes to the runner, in this case the runner for the food.

[Clay]

Well, this is like the whole idea with apples. You know, you're supposed to wash them really like that. That is gonna solve everything. You know, you get like an apple. You, like, you should put it underneath the. Underneath the. The sink there for, like, I don't know, 10 seconds. Like that really is gonna take care of everything. A lot of the stuff that we do, I don't know.

[Jamie Rubin]

It's kind of a glorified 10 second rule, isn't it? It's like, yeah, under the water, it's all fine now. Okay.

[Clay]

Does that seem likely? I mean, if there's really bad pesticides on the apple is gonna put it underneath the water for 10 seconds. Really substant. So a lot of these things that we do, I'm not sure that they have any benefit. I know that when my wife has gone back, when I have told her, hey, what you sent me to find wasn't there, and she's like, I don't buy that. At least twice that I can remember, once she went and she found it, which was not good because she found it immediately.

[Jamie Rubin]

You're in the doghouse, then that's bad.

[Clay]

Other times she couldn't find it. And I just remember how stunned she was when she came back. She was like, it really, really wasn't there. The idea that I could be correct was just boggled her mind.

[Jamie Rubin]

She. She now sometimes will text me and then tell me what to get at grocery store and then follow it up with a photo because she knows if there's no photo, I'm just going to get whatever the food, the general food product is. She sends me to get yogurt. Clay. I feel like Indiana Jones with the bowler rolling boulder rolling after him, you.

[Clay]

Know, like such a great scene, you.

[Jamie Rubin]

Know, and it's like I switched the wrong yogurt where the idol goes or something. And now I'm in a. I can never get the right yogurt. There's so many types.

[Clay]

To be fair, I'm rarely shopping for anything, so I just don't even make the attempt at this point. But, but that's because I've failed so many times that I can't be trusted.

[Jamie Rubin]

Jj, we got a funny one here. Go for it, jj.

[Sonos]

Hi, Clay and Buck. This is Kitty from California. I sent my husband to the store one Christmas when I was making candy for butter, just butter. Didn't care what kind, didn't care what brand, told him that he came home with the only thing in the entire store that is clearly labeled not butter. As in, I can't believe it's not butter. At least it makes a good story.

[Clay]

That's trying to be healthy.

[Jamie Rubin]

That's a strong move right there, right? To be like, no, I'm not getting your butter. I'm getting you not butter instead of butter. Glad they're still married, though. That's good.

[Buck]

Sunday drop with Clay and Buck.

[Jamie Rubin]

More marital experience here. I was not really aware of this, and now I'm.

[Clay]

You're such a young man in the marriage game when.

[Jamie Rubin]

Yeah, I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm a newbie into all this. Your wife can look at you and be a little unhappy, quite unhappy, quite sternly. And you can ask her, hey, honey, what's going on? She said, nothing, I'm fine. And you say, are you sure? She goes, I'm fine. And then you know, she's not fine. And then you say, okay. And then you try to, like, escape the situation. And right before you leave the room, she goes, do you know what you did in my dream last night? And now the answer to that is, of course, no. But Clay, I didn't know that you could be in trouble as husband for whatever the wife has had a dream about.

[Clay]

All right, so here's the flip side. Can you imagine holding her accountable in any way or being angry for her based on something that she did in your dream? Has this happened at any point in your relationship that you can remember so far?

[Buck]

No.

[Clay]

Yes.

[Jamie Rubin]

No.

[Clay]

So do you think it's only. I don't know because I'm with you.

[Jamie Rubin]

But my understanding is these are the rules of marriage. Like, wife is allowed to be annoyed over morning coffee for at least a little bit if you were naughty in the dream that she had, even if she knows it was a dream. These are the rules. I don't make the rules.

[Clay]

No, no, I get it. I'm just trying to think, why would women be able to get mad at their husbands? But I'm just asking because I can't recall ever being angry at my wife over something that she did in my dreams. Right.

[Jamie Rubin]

Has Laura ever been mad at you for what you did in her dream?

[Clay]

That's a great question. We've been married for almost 21 years. I'm sure I've given her ample reasons to be mad at me for many reasons, both awake and dreaming over those 21 years. But I. I can't remember, but it feels like probably yes is the answer. But it is an interesting question because my point is if you had been angry at her, I don't think it would be accepted.

[Jamie Rubin]

No, of course not. I'm a dude. We can't do that. Yeah, not allowed.

[Clay]

So why is it acceptable the opposite direction? I think it's an interesting question. I'm going to go downstairs and ask.

[Jamie Rubin]

Men and women are. Men and women are different, buddy. You know that. I do know.

[Clay]

No way. Next thing you're going to tell me men shouldn't be able to play women's sports.

[Rodney Williams]

Oral health goes beyond just aesthetics. It's deeply connected to your general health and well being. That's why preventing oral health problems before they start is so important. When you use the Colgate Total active prevention system, you're not just helping to prevent oral health problems like cavities and gingivitis. You're laying the groundwork for overall wellness. Colgate Total's three product routine includes a reformulated toothpaste, an innovative toothbrush, and a refreshing antibacterial mouthwash that all support a healthy mouth. In fact, the three products were designed to work together to be 15 times more effective at reducing bacteria buildup in six weeks starting from week one, compared to a non antibacterial fluoride toothpaste and flat trimmed toothbrush.
