Sunday hang is brought to you by Chalk Natural Supplements for guys, gals, and nothing in between. Fuel your day at Chalk dot com, bold reverence, and occasionally random. The Sunday Hang with Playin' Fuck podcast starts now. Bunk has gotten fired up about this because he can't believe that it's real. Some of you may have seen this. I believe it was Monday night. The Atlanta Braves are playing the Toronto Blue Jays, and the Braves broadcast has a basically sideline reporter who is a young, you know, good looking guy who is working the sideline and he is interviewing two different girls, cute blonde girls in the crowd who appear to be Braves fans. I believe here is what it sounded like. This is cut twenty four. The video is out. We'll post it at clayanbuck dot com. If you have not seen this, this has gone megaviral. But here's what it sounded like if you were watching this baseball game Monday night.

Okay, Wiley, we got five innings, four innings to get the numbers. Come on, come on, get us some more Braves fans.

Okay, Wiley, we got five innings, four innings to get the numbers. Come on, come on, get us some more Braves fans.

All right, So they want me to get your number. They want you to go.

All right, So they want me to get your number. They want you to go.

I'm dead serious, they're saying to my right now. Shouldn't believe me because she thinks you guys are are not making this up. Even if you guys weren't, I might use that in the future. That's a pretty good move.

I'm dead serious, they're saying to my right now. Shouldn't believe me because she thinks you guys are are not making this up. Even if you guys weren't, I might use that in the future. That's a pretty good move.

Okay. So it continues. You can hear the girl in the background saying they want you to get my number, and he ends up getting one of these girls numbers. It goes viral and Buck, you have seen the reaction and you've been texting me. I sent it to you because I was like, I think you'll enjoy this. Many members of the sports media have lost their mind. They are saying this is misogynistic. They are saying this is completely unprofessional. You've seen the reactions. Can you believe the reactions to that lighthearted clip that we just played for you. Claig knows he can do this because he tells me, but I don't. As you all know, I don't pay any attention to the sports media commentary world really, so I just this is like it says, no Clays telling me about the latest Broadway theater critics or something. I just don't follow them, so I don't know. And he goes, oh, no, you don't understand how woke they are. And he sends me this stuff and it's like throwing steak in the lion den. I completely freak out because all I can think about is the sports media does this, Of all the media to do this, the people that are talking about guys you know, swinging bats and throwing balls and doing all this stuff and making all this money, and you know, some of them have cheerleaders on the sidelines or you know, dancers at halftime. They're free. It's in my mind, even though he tells me my mind continues to be blown because it's I don't even know as possible, Clay, what a kill joy? I mean, who could? If you can't let you, I will read you a couple people because some of you don't know. This is a woman named Danny Sirek. She is on the sideline, someway or doing something. So are we still going to ask women in sports if they're only doing their job to date athletes? We can all agree how inappropriate and nasty. This is not to mention the double standard. Right, these are not athletes, These are girls in the stands. Right, But this is a sportsman. Here's a man. This is a man who writes ostensibly mean to put a man? Do we have to put man in quotes? Well, this is a guy. Can we send him some chalk? Because the tea levels, I'm telling you, sub medical grade. You're gonna hear this near ostensibly this is a man. Ralph Vacciano tweets you just heard this clip an unprofessional disgrace from the reporter, to the guys in the booth, to the producer in the truck who could have stopped it at any point. It's not fun it's not cool, it's not harmless, and it's only a standard for harassment. This is a guy who covers sports like I feel my estrogen level rising just from listening to this. There were a bunch of these guys in these girls who lose their mind. I have been arguing that. Frankly, I found that a company based on it. The disconnect between the average sports fan and the average sports media member is more substantial than the disconnect between media and any other group that consumes their content anywhere. And let me hit you at this buck, and this is my overall thesis. If you cover a game for a living, that is your job is to watch people play something, with very very few exceptions. Because there are some people who are like, hey, I'm a sports reporter, but I also cover trials so there could be criminal cases, or I'm a sports business reporter and I'm focused on the valuation of franchise things like that. But if you cover the game itself, your job is to make someone like something that they already like like it more. And if you don't do that, you're doing something wrong because your job is to talk about a sport. Here's what I think is really happening. I think these people everyone who criticized this Braves reporter, I think voted for Kamala Harris overwhelmingly they hate fun. I also think so many people in sports media are insecure because they're grown ups who cover a game, and instead of embracing the fun, they feel like they have to convince people that they're capable sitting at the big, big kids table, and so they wildly over analyze the significance of relatively fun, not very significant moments. Clay, if a single guy can't take his shot and ask a pretty lady for her phone number, I don't even know what country we live in anymore. It's definitely not America. This is the entire basis for how every human gets together, right, Every baby on some level required most of the time. Sometimes girls get numbers. Most of the time it's guys requires a guy to ask a girl for her phone number. Right, This is the foundation of all of our existences. The funniest thing is you can always tell when people ask rhetorical questions and the rhetorical question is obviously wrong and stupid, meaning they think that it's like, oh, what would have happened if a woman had asked a guy. If the roles were the guy would be doing backflips. What are you talking about? In attractive female say if he's single, and if you're not, you just say I'm married, or you say I have a girlfriend. But if a single if an attractive sideline reporter came up to Clay pre Laura or Buck pre Carrie and was like, hey, like, can I have your phone number? I promise you we wouldn't have been like I feel so harassed. It would be the greatest moment of every guy's life. Now, women don't think about this in the same way as men, because if you're an attractive woman, you are being pursued by men every moment of your life, right, I mean, this is the reality. You go to the grocery store a good looking guy, I mean, you're a good looking girl, A guy might hit on you, right like you're at the gym. Wherever you are, there are men who are pursuing you. This is how biology works. By and large, you might not like the guys that are pursuing you, but the idea Buck to your point. If a pretty girl in the stands has a microphone and she's interviewing a guy and somebody remarks, hey, chemistry looks pretty good here. You should ask him for his phone number, and he got the phone number. Every guy in America would be like, this is the coolest thing this ever happened. They're not gonna rip the girl. This is a hero moment. Are you kidding me? Everybody would say it was really cool of the girl to take the to make the move, and you know, the guy is the luckiest guy we've seen. How you sort of get into this? How are people supposed to meet people?

Okay. So it continues. You can hear the girl in the background saying they want you to get my number, and he ends up getting one of these girls numbers. It goes viral and Buck, you have seen the reaction and you've been texting me. I sent it to you because I was like, I think you'll enjoy this. Many members of the sports media have lost their mind.

How you sort of get into this? How are people supposed to meet people?

Right? What is now?

Right? What is now?

That? Is it all just? It's only algorithms online where you're you're you know, you're at arms distance and you don't actually have to deal with the possibility of like rejecting somebody or actually talking to them. I mean what I Clay, when you sent me that, I swear I kept reading through it and it was just like, my my, Fortunately I have a lot of hair, but I was pulling the hair out of my head. I could not Understick is the only sports media site in the entire country that will say, there's nothing wrong with this. This is good, lighthearted fat I mean to me, this is almost like you know, at the end of a local news cast. They'll do like, oh, like a local mallard in the park, you know, lost one of her something happy to try to send people off to their day. Yes, this is like a happy end of newscast kind of story. It's like, oh, and she found her baby duckling, yay, you know see tomorrow everybody. Uh, this is like a nice, happy story. It's cute. Look, maybe she gave him a fake number. Look, maybe it doesn't go to It doesn't matter. It's a nice little exchange. Obviously, people think this this woman that he's asking, you know, is an attractive young woman, and it's all I just this is like it's like Shakespearean comedy. It's like, this is the sort of thing that in Western civilization we'd all sit around and smile about it and be like, oh, isn't that fun and killjoy. Sports reporters think that it undermines the seriousness of women in the industry or something like are they just because nobody watched the WNBA draft Clay, Like, what, what is the problem here. They're also making a ridiculous argument that this somehow equates to them dating a player or an athlete. This is not the same thing at all. Thing to do with that, not even those remotely close. And also it's just a desperate desire to make yourself a victim something nice happens on television. You know what, I already tweeted this, but this is not going to surprise you. I would if I own the Braves, I would totally steer into this controversy. I would have them go on a date at a game. I would have a reporter assigned to cover the date during the course of the during the course of the broadcast. You know this because you've done this show long enough for me. My response anytime somebody criticizes anything that I do is to do it even more aggressively. Like some people are like, oh, you know what, I'll take a step back. I'm like, We're going to go faster, even faster into the controversy. And I would totally lean into this because I think what it does, and this was the basic foundation of OutKick is I think that much of social media as BS. I think that a lot of what people say there is not representative of the real world. And if you allow yourself to be governed by what people say on social media, you end up making Marana decisions for your company, for your brand, for your personal life. Because in the analogy I've made for a long time, and I think I'm being proven more right every single day, is it would be like buck back in the day, Remember those funny mirrors when you would go to a carnival and some of them make you look super fat and some of them make you look super skinny. If you tried to adjust your diet based on a funhouse mirror, imagine how broken your overall life would be. I think that's the story of media. I think media used social media as a representative, honest reflection of the real world and tried to adjust their coverage as of a result, and I think they lit themselves on fire. I think Trump saw it. Certainly, we saw it in Sports without Kick and Sanity's returning. But every time we have one of these blow ups, I look at the comments like you did, and I just I feel like I'm living in a different world than the reality of the day to day existence that I see it. Still, it's one of those things where I didn't think we would really talk about that because it would only be you know, there's some people who you know they'll get mad at you if you're like, hey, you know what can relax? You take a deep breath. They're like, oh, I'm sorry, mister big deep breath.

That? Is it all just? It's only algorithms online where you're you're you know, you're at arms distance and you don't actually have to deal with the possibility of like rejecting somebody or actually talking to them.

Oh.

Oh.

People got mad at you and you were like, hey, you know what, you should do more of walk And people are like, oh, you're so such an elitist. Look at you able toancy radio host with your walking daily mm you know, I swear I'm not kidding. There are a bunch of people that were attacking me, like, sorry, some of us have jobs that don't I'm like, don't allow you to find any time in the day to go for a walk anywhere? Okay, I mean I'm sorry you work in like the Fox con iPhone factory. This is like me and I've said this to my boys a lot, like, hey, you can do push ups anywhere. I understand everybody doesn't have a fat, fancy gym membership, but you can do push ups and sit ups pretty much anywhere. I mean, people in jail sales get ripped because they just sit around and do push ups and sit ups all day. You can walk anywhere pretty much, unless you either people that want to be bitter about everything was my point, and you'll find that on the internet. They just want to be bitter, but people that make a living commenting on sports, instead of seeing this as a viral clip and something that can bring everyone together a lot of a lot. Clay's point is, it's not that a cup A lot of them were attacking this twenty thirty people with substantial audiences like this is unacceptable? How dare this be allowed to occur? Real people are so nuts? Are totally nuts? It is? It is crazy. Anyway, if you're a single guy, go ask a pretty girl for her phone number, and hopefully you'll have kids one day and that will be the foundation of your health. Or if we're if you're a nice young woman and you find a guy who's single and you think he's cute, ask him. I promise you if he's not going to be offended, he's not going to be offended. You're not going to be offended. I promise you could be like, oh dare you?

How dare you? Madam?

How dare you? Madam?

One of the most intimidating things that any man ever has to do is ask a pretty girl for her phone number, her contact information, because it sets you up for rejection. As everybody who's ever been to prom everybody who's ever been to a dance men have to ask overwhelmingly. Yeah, if you're a pretty girl and you like a guy, go for it. But I got my battleship. I got my battle ship sunk plenty of times before I got married. And you know what, Built's character Sunday Sizzle with Clay and Buck whole line from the movie Roadhouse be nice until it's time not to be nice. I think that first of all, great great reference. Roadhouse one of the most watchable absurd movies ever made. Uh being remade it, and now they're making the Roadhouse too. Write you watched I never saw the remake. No, I bet I don't even have to. It had like the little Irish m m A guy in it. What's his name? Not the new one Patty? Yeah, Connor McGregor, No, no, no, I don't know. If I want to be on record with Buck is saying that Connor McGregor is a little Irish guy. I'm that's fair. I'm not saying he can't again, he's an actor. I'm gonna be having to get us somewhere and there's gonna be a tap on my shoulder and that little Irish guy is gonna be there kicking my ass and I'm gonna be like, no, it was back who said it. I didn't have anything to do with it. Jay gillinall Is is playing the lead role. Right, Yeah, it's said in the it is a It is a Patrick Swayze classic. For those of you who have not seen it, it is absolutely absurd. Like the whole movie. He lives across the lake from the main bad guy. He's like, somehow knows karate. He went to NYU, Like none of it adds. The movie makes absolutely he he goes, he gets stabbed in a knife fight, and the nurse who's tending to him is like a sports illustrated swimsuit model who lives in this gorgeous who lives in this small town and then wants to go roll around with this guy and like the actual barn that he lives in. I'm just look, not all heroes wear capes. Was pretty amazing that he was able to pull this off in the movie. But yes, it is very very a Sam Elliott by the way, some great Sam Elliott stuff. What does he keep does he call him kimosabe or what's his uh me me miho? He calls a miho in the movie Is there a bet? This is a fun debate. Is there a better nineteen eighties era range of actor range than Patrick Swayze for wildly successful movies that had nothing in common? Because if you think about just off the top of my head, Ghost, Dirty Dancing, and Roadhouse, like the difference between Roadhouse and Ghost is or Roadhouse, and I guess point Break is nineties. But point Break would be another great one to add. And then some of you are going to remember this, and this is the history nerd in me. He also played a Civil War soldier or this is I don't know how many of you ever gonna remember this Civil War? Civil War Camp Clay. Yeah, this we just sat around to watch this movie. And he played a Confederate general or E. Maine from South Carolina. The range of Patrick swayzey excellence to your if you was Point Break nineteen ninety, it might have been just the very right around. But I mean, if you think about Ghost, if you think of Dirty Dancing, Roadhouse, North and South, and Love and War, which was like this television mini series epic based on the John Jakes novels of the Civil War, and man, I may well have super nerded myself out there. I don't know how many of you read these in the eighties, but I did, and the because of the mini series was so popular, Patrick swayzey might have had the best acting career of anyone range super successful movies in the nineteen eighties. I mean, like Arnold Schwarzenegger basically played Arnold Schwarzenegger, right, Sylvester Stallone basically played Sylvester Stallone. I know there's some exceptions, like Arnold Schwarzenegger was in Twins with Danny DeVito, where he was funny kindergarten cop. It's not a Tuma, it's one of his. There are a few ex but oh, Michael Barry, our buddy down in Houston, just texted me read I mean, remember how good he was and Red Dawnery in the nineteen eighties. And as part of I mean, I just want to say, well played, mister Barry, well played. He's got a great show in Houston for those of you that are listening to us right now. But I mean, think about it. Is he This is this maybe the most aggressive, crazy argument I've made. Is Patrick Swayze the most underrated nineteen eighties movie actor of all time. I don't know if he could. I don't think he's underrated enough. I don't think he's underrated. I think that well, he passed away with cancer sadly some years ago, but I just think that he didn't he didn't stay as big for like long. But I think that he was. I think in the eighties he was a true leading man and was getting his dude, look at the movie. Was he the best nineteen eighties actor? If you consid now you're getting now, you're getting created, now you're calling range on range, I think there's a sway there's an under disrespected, under the radar argument for Patrick Swayze's excellent is a generation you you gen X people like Paccino and DeNiro way too much. So that's always, uh, that always comes up in this. I've never been Robert de Niro plays the same character in everything the same thing, and everything the same you know, Italian Mafia, like, yes, the whole the whole thing. I've never I think that I would put them in the really overrated category actually of actors. Yeah, that's that's a hot take for you. Some of the people in the Northeast, we got a lot of New Jersey, New York listeners, they're not gonna like that one. But I'm just telling you, Okay, yeah, Goodfellas is very watchable, but like, let's calm down, it's not as great as everybody protects. Michael Berry still firing, by the way, the Outsiders all nineteen eighties. I'm I'm gonna maybe have to die on this hill. But I think Harris Harrison Ford was big, was huge in the eighties. Indiana Jones, right, so you'd you're you're saying best acting range range, like he's Indiana. Basically Harrison Ford is Indiana Jones or Han Solo in those movies across the board, right the range of Dirty Dancing to Roadhouse to Red Dawn. Is there better nineteen eighties performance than Patrick Swayzee. I'm not sure. I'm not sure we can beat him, and I actually don't. I don't. I would, I would love to disagree with you, but I actually can't come up with anything on the fly here to refute your argument, which makes me think that it's not as crazy as my initial I mean, like, Michael Jay Fox was great, and I'm going to talk about testosterone here in a minute, but Michael J. Fox also wasn't taking over, you know, like a country right in a in a in a or a bar or what it wasn't like an action hero. And you know Patrick Swayze in the eighties, you know what, I bet he had, Buck, unbelievable levels of testosterone. I bet his testosterone levels were through the roof. You can't make pottery like that in Ghost and then also simultaneously simultaneously beat everybody's ass in Roadhouse without incredible levels of testosterone. He's a lover and he was a fighter.

One of the most intimidating things that any man ever has to do is ask a pretty girl for her phone number, her contact information, because it sets you up for rejection. As everybody who's ever been to prom everybody who's ever been to a dance men have to ask overwhelmingly. Yeah, if you're a pretty girl and you like a guy, go for it. But I got my battleship. I got my battle ship sunk plenty of times before I got married. And you know what, Built's character Sunday Sizzle with Clay and Buck whole line from the movie Roadhouse be nice until it's time not to be nice. I think that first of all, great great reference. Roadhouse one of the most watchable absurd movies ever made. Uh being remade it, and now they're making the Roadhouse too. Write you watched I never saw the remake. No, I bet I don't even have to. It had like the little Irish m m A guy in it. What's his name? Not the new one Patty? Yeah, Connor McGregor, No, no, no, I don't know. If I want to be on record with Buck is saying that Connor McGregor is a little Irish guy. I'm that's fair. I'm not saying he can't again, he's an actor. I'm gonna be having to get us somewhere and there's gonna be a tap on my shoulder and that little Irish guy is gonna be there kicking my ass and I'm gonna be like, no, it was back who said it. I didn't have anything to do with it. Jay gillinall Is is playing the lead role. Right, Yeah, it's said in the it is a It is a Patrick Swayze classic. For those of you who have not seen it, it is absolutely absurd. Like the whole movie. He lives across the lake from the main bad guy. He's like, somehow knows karate. He went to NYU, Like none of it adds. The movie makes absolutely he he goes, he gets stabbed in a knife fight, and the nurse who's tending to him is like a sports illustrated swimsuit model who lives in this gorgeous who lives in this small town and then wants to go roll around with this guy and like the actual barn that he lives in. I'm just look, not all heroes wear capes. Was pretty amazing that he was able to pull this off in the movie. But yes, it is very very a Sam Elliott by the way, some great Sam Elliott stuff. What does he keep does he call him kimosabe or what's his uh me me miho? He calls a miho in the movie Is there a bet? This is a fun debate. Is there a better nineteen eighties era range of actor range than Patrick Swayze for wildly successful movies that had nothing in common? Because if you think about just off the top of my head, Ghost, Dirty Dancing, and Roadhouse, like the difference between Roadhouse and Ghost is or Roadhouse, and I guess point Break is nineties. But point Break would be another great one to add. And then some of you are going to remember this, and this is the history nerd in me. He also played a Civil War soldier or this is I don't know how many of you ever gonna remember this Civil War? Civil War Camp Clay. Yeah, this we just sat around to watch this movie. And he played a Confederate general or E. Maine from South Carolina. The range of Patrick swayzey excellence to your if you was Point Break nineteen ninety, it might have been just the very right around. But I mean, if you think about Ghost, if you think of Dirty Dancing, Roadhouse, North and South, and Love and War, which was like this television mini series epic based on the John Jakes novels of the Civil War, and man, I may well have super nerded myself out there. I don't know how many of you read these in the eighties, but I did, and the because of the mini series was so popular, Patrick swayzey might have had the best acting career of anyone range super successful movies in the nineteen eighties. I mean, like Arnold Schwarzenegger basically played Arnold Schwarzenegger, right, Sylvester Stallone basically played Sylvester Stallone. I know there's some exceptions, like Arnold Schwarzenegger was in Twins with Danny DeVito, where he was funny kindergarten cop. It's not a Tuma, it's one of his. There are a few ex but oh, Michael Barry, our buddy down in Houston, just texted me read I mean, remember how good he was and Red Dawnery in the nineteen eighties. And as part of I mean, I just want to say, well played, mister Barry, well played. He's got a great show in Houston for those of you that are listening to us right now. But I mean, think about it. Is he This is this maybe the most aggressive, crazy argument I've made. Is Patrick Swayze the most underrated nineteen eighties movie actor of all time. I don't know if he could.

Buck.

Buck.

This is not gonna surprise you, but we are deluged. Michael Barry says, I didn't know this. He's evidently a fount of Patrick Swayzee knowledge, our Houston lead in phenomenal talent down there. Patrick Swayzee legend in Houston. Mom ran a famous dance studio for decades. He came up through the dance studio family known by everybody. Michael Barry unexpected savant when it comes to Patrick Swayzee knowledge and a lot of you firing away. But Buck, you have you have someone that you think is a more successful range actor from the nineteen eighties that you thought about during break And I don't even know the answer here, Yet, I think we have to bring Tom Hanks into the conversation here. I think we have to bring Tom Hanks in. You're talking Splash, Big, Turner and Hooch, Dragnet. You know, you get a hole and then he gets into like Philadelphia Forrest Guman. That's early, that's the nineties. I knew. I would argue you probably made a good case for Tom Hanks in the nineties to be the actor with no But all those movies I named were eighties, So that's Turner and Hooch, Dragnet, Splash. He was a little more of a kind of romantic lead comedy guy in the eighties and then very much transitioned into like leading man serious roles. To be fair, the transition really occurs right around nineteen nineties, so your premise still holds, which I'm bitter having to say that, But yes, was big nineteen eighties. Yes, Tom Hanks Big. That was By the way, you want to talk about a movie that is super creepy, super creepy in retrospect, ten year old boy sleeping with you know, like, I'm not sure that movie holds up really well as you get to be an adult. It's great when you're tid, when you watch it and you're like, oh, we got we got some VIPs real quick here Tom Cruise and my friend Garrett just texted, he's listening. He's Tom Cruise. I don't know if Tom Cruise has range. I think he's probably the biggest leading man of all time. Him and Harrison Ford probably neck and neck. Also, vip Rick writes Harrison Ford much greater range, Witness, Working Girl, so many more. Maybe true, although I feel like Harrison Ford always just plays Harrison Ford. I don't know. I agree. I think Harrison Ford's always Harrison Ford, and again Tom Cruise, always Tom Cruise. I think my argument's right here. I think Patrick Swayze is the actor with the greatest range of the nineteen eighties. You can argue otherwise and be wrong
