President Trump speaking at the White House right now with a large collection of farmers. We are expecting the House. to reject the bill that was passed by the Senate. Remember President Trump, a lot of flurry of activity yesterday as it pertains to TSA. President Trump said he would pay TSA under his emergency power, saying it is an emergency right now, what is going on at the airports. I think Democrats would be likely to challenge Trump's authority legally to do that. if it were to happen. Around 3 a.m. a bill passed the Senate. It is now in the House, and the House GOP is expected to put forward their own bill rather than ratify the bill that has been passed by the Senate, for those of you that are following along with all of the stories there. Now, I did want to have a little bit of fun, Buck. This was on the sheet yesterday, and we didn't get to it. But for all of you out there that are not aware, Buck is going to have to buy me another state because Kamala Harris is going to run for President of the United States in 2028. And I've already looking forward to that. This one's not going to come in a gold case with a light show, by the way. It's, you know, I got to renovate my kitchen here. So we're going to have to, this is going to be a little more of a. you know, outback steakhouse kind of an outing. So Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom have been squaring off in public. And this was an interview. I believe that Gavin Newsom did with Axios. And there are a couple of things that stand out about this that I thought were worthy of discussing. The first is... Gavin Newsom, we've got a contrary take on this. The first is Gavin Newsom said that Elon Musk is one of the great disappointments of this era. That's a tough argument to make, but I'll let Gavin Newsom make it. Cut 21. One of the great disappointments, one of our, one of the great innovators of our time. It breaks my heart. I was the first, you know, one of the first Tesla's off the line. I've been one of their biggest proponents, supporters, was regulation in California that created the conditions that allowed him to take the risk to become the multi-billionaire, maybe trillioner, that he's become. But right now, he's allowing, and I think this is Trump, not just Elon Musk. He's going to allow the greatest on goal.
in, I think, one of the most significant angles in the next decade is ceding the EV space to China. He means own goal, right? He kept saying on goal. I think he said, I was listening to that too. I heard on the sports reference. His voice sounds like he's sick or something the way that he was talking, but it sounds like he's not saying own goal. For those of you who don't know, you can probably figure it out. But one of the greatest flaws in soccer would be to score yourself on your own team, a so-called own goal when you knock it into your own net. inadvertently unless you're you know shaving points uh then uh but so that's one of the great flaws now i thought this was interesting buck um jo rogan simultaneously making the exact opposite argument uh that Elon Musk is actually one of the most important figures historically when it comes to communications in this country cut 20
Listen, if it wasn't for Elon Musk, we would be... I've said this before, I'll say it again. History will go back and look at his purchasing Twitter, and it has changed the course of communication in this country for the better. I know a lot of you thought, oh my God, racism is up and all this stuff is up. That's... people that's the internet that is an accurate representation representation of people it's not good but it's also accurate and the only way that's going to change is if the other voices are more compelling and at least now they have an opportunity to do that okay so i do think i think he's right buck i bet you would sign on as well strong agree on that first part. It has enormously benefited actual meaningful free speech for Elon Musk. I can't say it enough. I'm not, I don't like to do butt kissing. I'm not somebody that's like, oh, what he did is incredible. It has benefited the country enormously. And, you know, he's the most impressive entrepreneur and business visionary of our era on top of doing more for free speech than. The only person who maybe has done as much for free speech in our lifetime is Donald Trump. It's really those two guys, I would argue. Trump has expanded the Overton window such that you actually now could, Clay, you remember back in the day like a decade ago or so you could go back? Every conservative commentator can tell you. You had to always operate in this realm of, are you going to get in trouble for something you said? Are you going to get in trouble for something you said? Are they going to create some digital lynch mob that's going to come for you and demand that your sponsors flee and everything else? That crap doesn't really happen the same way anymore. It really just doesn't. And it's such a benefit to the country that people have more, we have a more free speech tolerant culture now online than we have had in my whole life. It's 100% correct. And... I think Elon Musk deserves a tremendous bout of that credit. I think he is the most successful capitalist of all time. I believe Buck, he's already a trillionaire because when SpaceX announces that it's going to go public, he will officially be a trillionaire. But based on what the valuations look like, I think he's already there. Now, I've mentioned as the lead in, the Kamala Harris bet that Buck's going to lose over whether Kamala Harris is going to run or not. The back and forth between Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom continues, and he wasn't happy. Gavin Newsom wasn't with how she portrayed him in her book. Again, this is from the Axios interview cut 22. So former vice president, Kamala Harris. Why don't you guys like each other?
a preposterous premise of a question because we absolutely do. Well, she took a shot at you in her book. You didn't speak at her convention. I mean, we could even go back to the San Francisco days, her and Guilfoyle. I mean, there seems to be something there. No, in quite the contrary. I introduced her at the convention. It was even more personal. She gave me a little shot as it relates to the actual truth of the walk I was on. And I remember texting her back, I said, come on. I've already put out a statement supporting you, the last person you need to talk to. But for whatever reason, she added that. And I think it graded some color for the book. They really, do you believe that they do not like each other, or do you think they are fine with each other? Like what is, you said earlier this week that you think Gavin Newsom is such a sociopath that he doesn't even care if his own father-in-law moves to Florida, that if that's the case, then he clearly can't care about Kamala Harris at all. I think my father-in-law take was a strong take, and I think no question in my mind. Same thing with Kamala Harris. Gavin Newsom, Gavin Newsom, his brain operates like a reptile brain. Is it too hot or too cold where I am? I need food. He's pure, what is it, the amygdala? He's pure amygdala. Whatever is in his immediate benefit and meets his immediate needs is where Gavin Newsom will go. So if Kamala Harris is in his way, she's the enemy. If Kamala Harris being friends with her makes him look more. uh pro women for particularly pro minority women oh you know whatever we could sketch all this out then he is very pro comma but personal feelings i don't know if he's even capable of personal feelings i don't know you know it's like you mentioned a pet alligator it's like can an alligator ever love you i don't know i'm not sure we'd have to talk to some people that have really handled reptiles a lot can a can a reptile feel affection for you the way that a mammal can i don't know That's a great question. I never even really thought about how much reptiles. By the way, not a lot of people came from me on the pit bull take. A lot of people, because I think it's a pretty nuanced take, actually. I'm not anti-pit bull. I'm just, you know, you're carrying around a loaded AR-15. You're not carrying a BB gun. I got like five to one people agree with me, which I was a little surprised. Maybe that's just a confirmation bias for some reason in my inbox, but that was the... Again, because I know that there are sweet dogs of every breed, but some dogs are bigger problems than others. I think it's a good analogy. I mean, you know, a BB gun versus an AR-15, one can do more damage. I mean, you can make it kind of for any context, right? Like a big wheel, you don't have to be as worried about running into a wall as you would if you're driving a Ferrari. I mean, you know, there are just different rates of speed that lead to different dangers. I take people to the range. I take first time as the range. I'm not good enough to, like, I have friends who are competition shooters and all that, but I'm very solid now at taking people, I'm licensed to do it here, taking people to the range and giving them like a first range day experience, if they've really never shop before, and I can just tell you, if I have somebody with a bolt action 22 on the line, particularly if someone's like younger, you know, if someone's like a, you know, in their teenage years are there with dad, I've taken a teenage friend of mine with his dad, you know, they've...
You get the 22 going, you're like, okay, you know, you got to be on target, all the, you can still die from a 22, right? It's not that, but if I take somebody, because I have had friends with FFLs who have fully automatic weapons, and I put them on the line with a squad automatic weapon clay, which fires in a very rapid rate of speed, full auto, it has a lot more movement and everything else, I'm paying closer attention. You know what I mean? Yeah. So I'll even say that both of those are lethal situations in the sense you have to be careful. These are both firearms. But one firearm, you really got to pay attention, right? And that's how I view the dog thing. Not to get into the dog conversation, but I think Gavin Newsom is not even a canine. I think he's a reptile. I have brought this full circle. Whatever, whatever brings him lunch that day is what he wants. That's all he cares. You really got me thinking about whether reptiles can be loving now. I never really had thought about it, but is there a reptile that is supremely lovable, cuddly? I don't know. I think that their brains are not capable of that level of connection, is my thought. But we probably have people who are going to say, you know, I had a pet gecko. Pet birds can definitely bond with. The birds are way smarter than a lot of people. Like the whole notion of bird brain, crows are... freakishly smart i mean there are there are uh great african gray parrots some of these pets that people have can last uh these pet birds can last 40 50 years and and they know people and they have favorites and people they don't like so birds definitely can bond very tightly with people i don't think i don't think reptiles can hey if any reptile owners want to let want to let me in on this or let me know i will say the alligator whisper that i that i went out with here though the alligators knew him And they came out and were very kind of curious about him in a way that seemed like they recognized him. Would a turtle be able to have love? I don't know. That's the real question on the clay of Buccia. We're trying to fix the Iran war and the economy, but also, can turtles feel love? Like, I've never really thought through can reptiles love their owners. We were making a joke yesterday about, you know, somebody who raises, let's say, an alligator from, you know, the time when it's a baby until the time. I mean, I think they can have familiarity, but, you know, a dog or a cat, I think they would be capable of loving an owner. Dogs more than cats, but sorry cat people. It is a really good question. Dimitri in Houston. Let me try to get a call in here before we finish the segment. Dimitri, what you got for us? You guys, quick. The Democrats will fight to the mail to integrate this 20 million or 25 illegal or illegal or migrants. Digitally, they're going to try to integrate them into our society because everything is digital for bank account, for... direct payments, even Western Union implemented the stable coin as a choice of digital currency transactions, black chain. They're going to argue that, hey, we're going to need to collect fighter taxes, so let's put them under the payroll, where they're going to need to pay for social security. They'll open 401 case. They will contribute to the tax payment system, disability, insurance, source security. They're going to cover 100 different excuses.
But if you do the statistics, it takes about six years to have four million people born in the United States and another 18 to become legally capable to vote. So instead of them waiting five years plus 18, they're going to have one shot of 20 million people injected into the system. And that's their voting base. So that's the platform. They're running. They're going to need that voting base because everyone is abandoning their ideology. I think you for the call, DeBetri. I think you're 100% right. Look, the one way to think about this is I think Democrats. Let in all of these illegals almost as sleeper cell citizens. Because they're here. And at some point in time, having created this mess, they're going to say Democrats are, we can't have 20 million constant people living here who are not citizens. We have to give them all a pathway to citizenship, a form of amnesty. And so they are being incredibly duplicitous long term in terms of what arguments they are making. With the idea being at some point when the political world is more favorable to the argument, they're going to flip the switch and say, these people all need to be citizens and they see it as an opportunity to bring in additional millions of voters. I think Demetri's right. I don't think there's any doubt at all about that. We were talking about alligators a minute ago, and you probably don't have a pet alligator. You might not have a pet Rottweiler. So what are you going to defend your home with? Sabre is a great way to have really solid non-lethal defense of your home. And it all starts with going to Sabre. uh... saber's website because when you go to saber radio dot com that's saber radio dot com you'll see what they have because you can't wait on this stuff when you need it if you don't have it it's obviously too late go get yourself set up get yourself geared up today with sabers pepper sprays pepper gels stun guns and the saber home defense launcher that's really a favorite product clay and i have both used this before in practice out at the range It delivers seven powerful impact or pepper projectiles. And that's more than the competitors in the space. And Sabre is just such a trusted brand by law enforcement and by millions of Americans all across the country.

We have a guest coming up at some point today on the show. Who's the guest? Don't we have a fabulous guest or am I imagining? We have two. In the third hour of the program, Florida's Attorney General, James Rue Meyer, is going to be with us, and then at 2.30, Mike Baker. So double guess in the third hour. I'd like to ask the Attorney General also about some of these videos that are going around of an influencer, perhaps illegally discharging a firearm or rather. discharging in a manner that is uh that is problematic legally we'll see because that happened in florida if you're looking all over the video all over online right now it's going viral um and it also involves wildlife possibly speaking of wildlife uh we get a lot of people writing in hold on uh here we go people writing in oh no this is research from our team lizards can they can they bond with humans schneiders Skinks. I've never heard of a skink before. Have you? No, I don't even know what that is. These are the top five lizards that bond with humans, according to our team here. Tagu lizards. Large snakes, guys, come on. I'm throwing a flag. Snakes don't bond. Your food. You're a food source or your food yourself. I don't buy it. I'm sorry. I'm anti-snake. Monitor lizards. Interesting. And iguanas. Hmm. Interesting. And what about geckos? They can also get you a great deal on car insurance. Yeah, they can. Did you see tortoises are super popular pets, buck, but they live for over 100 years? So they're the few, one of maybe the only pet that outlives their owners, not to be morbid today. But maybe they can have. That just went in quite a direction. Okay, look, the Jewish faith has one of their bigger holidays coming up next week. Passover starts next Tuesday. In Israel, there's a good chance this holiday will be observed in darkness under the shadow of war. It's likely we'll see more sporadic missiles and drone attacks this coming week. Across Israel, air raid sirens, and phone apps continue to inform residents to seek protection in bomb shelters. That's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews are on the ground right now, providing food. and emergency supplies, equipping bomb shelters, and caring for elderly Holocaust survivors. Vulnerable Israelis need your help today. Your most generous Passover gift shows that you stand with the people of Israel. To rush your gift, all you have to do is call this number 888-488-48-I-F-C-J. That's 888-48-8-F-J, or...
You can just give online at IFCJ.org. That's IFCJ.org. Oh, we got a lot of talkbacks. I think we can dive into some of those. Again, got a couple of guests coming for you in the third hour of the program. And let's see. Let's start with talkback A, I believe. I think we got A, B, C, and D. I think we can hit them all. Let's start with A. I've had potato chips on a sandwich, and it's okay. It's hard. It's hard to have potato chips ever be bad, but if you want a little tidbit, here's a little tidbit from Jesse. Just trust me. You got to trust me. Trust the menu whisper on something. Forget about the sandwich. Crumble up some potato chips, even barbecue chips. Put them in vanilla ice cream. Put them in your ice cream. That is radio host Jesse Kelly. Now, I'm going to tell you guys this. We don't do this thing of fighting with people on the right. We don't do the podcast wars or the pro pod fights or any of that stuff. But Clay, I think this is a shot that just has to be answered. Jesse is telling his audience to crumble up barbecue potato chips and put it in vanilla ice cream. This is like a crime against humanity. I've never even heard of such a thing. It's barbaric. I mean, I don't know. This is the kind of thing that I would expect an Ohio State fan to come up with. It doesn't make any logical sense whatsoever. Ah, it's nasty. Now, I will say I had potato chips on my sandwich from McAllister's deli recently. And I hope McAllister's Deli is not going to soon be considering sponsoring this program. But I've been very anti-McAllister's Deli for about 15 years because to me, when you go into a deli, it should be fast. And every time I go into McAllister's Deli, I'm there for nine hours. And then they finally give me a deli sandwich and it doesn't seem like it should take that long. But I had one with potato chips on it the other day. Laura brought it home because she loves the McAllister's Deli place. It was amazing. But the ice cream, I think this is a bridge too far. Jesse Kelly might have to come on and explain himself with this. First of all, I called himself the menu whisperer, and then he's telling us to crumble up, even bar, like the potato chips, maybe, barbecue potato chips into your ice cream? I think I might have someone committed if I saw them do this. It would be like watching Joe Biden walk around with vanity pants on in the Oval Office. Like, what's going on? I've been at many meals now. With Jesse, I've never been impressed with his orders. I'm going to be honest with you. And, you know, when a member of the Brussels Sprouts controversy of 2024, the summer of 2024, I'm still right. And he's shown up and ordered $75 shots. So I actually think he's not a good order. And he's trying to cover up for the fact. Aubrey, his wife, I trust her orders way more than I would. His I'm not even sure he's the best orderer in his family. Okay, so that's shots across the bow for Jesse. Cut B, what is up next? Fire away. These are talked about. You need to have on some conservatives who do not support this war with Iran, such as myself. I think Tucker Carlson gives some good reasons not to support what is going on right now, especially boots on the ground. I'd like to hear you say something about this since you and Buck are not going to die. Well.
Sure. First of all, let me say this. You and I are going to die. I hope not for a long time. And I are going to die because of violent causes. But she's wrong. I wish I was immortal. You and I are in fact going to die. Now, what did we say? We started off the show today talking about the fact that there's about 10% of Trump supporters that are opposed to the war in Iran. 90% of you trust Trump to figure out a way to get it done. I think we've given the 10% pretty fair space on the program to make a case for what they believe should happen. Honestly, we just had Rand Paul on recently. You want to talk about somebody who's opposed to? adamant military. He's opposed to the strikes on the boats, which another one just happened, I think, earlier this week. We didn't even get reported on, really, because so many other things happening. But, you know, we read everything, so we're aware of what's going on, even if we don't have the time to talk about it. Who would be the conservative that you want to have on? Tucker Carlson warned that World War III would break out if the strikes happened on the nuclear facility last June. That was wrong. And again, I'm just saying it just wasn't accurate. He's, of course, entitled to his opinion. And, you know, we've always gotten along, Klan. I've always gotten along very well with Tucker Carlson. It's not any, not any shade. But if you're asking me what the analysis is or who you want us to have on, who do you want us to have on? I mean, give us, like, the names of somebody that you would like to hear on the program. because I think that would be a more helpful. And then we can assess, like, is this someone who actually, you know, I know a lot more about the Middle East than Tucker Carlson does? He's a very smart guy, but that's just the reality of our experiences. So who do you want me to have on that's going to explain something to you or take a position that? that we're not covering here we don't know um let us know uh let us know what that would be and and how that is uh i think that would be interesting to be sure i mean clay who is who is a who is actually a trump supporter right now i'm not talking about pod bro comedians who supported trump for five minutes when it was popular socially online i mean who are people who have really supported trump on this who not have questions about the war, but are adamantly Tucker Carlson's very opposed to it. Absolutely, he's on the record with that. I'm trying to think of who else is really, you know, I'm not really clear. I don't even know who the other person. By the way, I'm not trying to stammer because I really just can't think of somebody who is a very pro-Trump voice. And consistently, again, I don't want to hear about, oh, just in this last election. Like, if you're somebody who's doing stand-up one minute and the next minute, you're like lecturing me in the Middle East, I don't care what you. You just don't know very much. I don't care what you have to say about it. I'm aware of the opinions of, you know, no wars are good. No intervention is good. I'm, you know, Kristi Noem Chomsky has a similar point of view. There are people that have been saying this for a long time. No, American wars are good. Other wars, they'll excuse.
So, yeah, I'm open to it, though. I'm just trying to think of who it would be. We're going to have Ted Cruz on here. He'll be like, you guys are way not supportive enough of this war. I mean, you know, who are we going to have on that's? I mean, we haven't had Lindsey Graham on. I mean, he would be like, hey, we should go to war with everybody. But, again, the only thing I would say is, I wish you were right, but we are, in fact, going to die. See, who is up next? Talk back, C. Buck, Buck. I have a bone to pick with you. I'm a 64-year-old Ranny, but I do not like that term. So let's find a new one when you're talking about the older ladies, the more seasoned ladies who find clay attractive. Well, I love everything about this call because she loves me and she's got a bone to pick with you. So having said that, I'd never have thought of Granny as an offensive term. My nephew calls my mom Granny. So I don't know what to say about this. But maybe some of the grannies who feel a little frisky after a little whispering angel at a clay event, you know, maybe they don't want to be called Granny. They just want to be called a seasoned lady. Grandma, Nana, I'm trying to think of what my kids call grandmas. Grandma, which is, I would say, the standard. Nana is a choice. I'm starting to think, you know, Laura might have to throw a couple of hip checks at some walkers here or something. You know, I might have to kind of divert some of these ladies, keep their paws off a good old clay. Look, it's hard to be this lovable for the grandmothers of America, but I'm here for all of you. I will say, well, my boys are not old enough yet. I've got an 18, 15, 11 year old. But I have occasionally started to think what would I want to be called when, hopefully, years into the future, I become a grandpa. Like, what is, is there a unique phrase? I mean, that seems like kind of a fun thing. You get to pick what the grandkids are going to call you. D, talk back. I don't understand why you are so surprised that most people agree with your analogy with the Pipples and the AR-15 because the majority of the audience that listen to you have common sense. And of course they're going to agree with you. I am an owner of Pipples, so I completely understand where you're coming from, and I totally get it. And most people do because they have common sense. I actually agree. I think this audience is just layered with tons of common sense. Let's go. Wait, wait, real quick, Clay, excuse me. I would like to respond to Patty because she's, you know, she's making a, making some claims here. And she's saying that what I'm saying is true. So I appreciate that. I have come across in my life, and particularly in my public life commentary, I have come across.
very vociferous and kind of aggressive defenders of the pit bull breed who will start to say crazy things like a pit bull is no more dangerous than a golden retriever that's but the people will say this stuff And there's a little bit of a cult of the pit bull among some people, because they look at them as maligned, it's not fair, and everything else. Again, I have known very sweet pities. I've known them, and they're very, but I also know that you have to be more in control and treat them differently than you would a smaller or less powerful breed of dog, powerful jaws as well as, you know, just overall. But yes, other than that, Patty. Totally, totally agree with you. And yes, this audience does have, I mean, of course they have common sense. They listen to this show, which is basically a giant common sense town hall where we notice how we never go really nuts here. Like there are some other shows that they're good on some things and they go nuts. We never go nuts. A lot of common sense. A lot of common sense coming from Will in Wisconsin. Will, what's you got for us? Kelly coming in on his culinary high horse. A pun very much intended. Isn't he the guy that would eat shrimp and bankrupt his favorite restaurant, Red Lobster? True. Will's right. For those of you don't know, Jesse Kelly claims to have perfect menu taste, and his favorite restaurant in the world is Red Lobster. Now, I'm not trying to cast dispersions upon Red Lobster, but it is nowhere near the finest of the chain restaurants that are available. to many of you on a day-to-day basis. In fact, I'll come back and tell you what the best chain restaurant is, and we don't get paid by any of them, just that Jesse's wrong.

Let it not be said that we take shots here on Clay and Buck, then run and hide. Jesse Kelly apparently got word that Clay had some thoughts about Jesse's menu whisperer status. Mr. Jesse Kelly, Premier Radio host, joins us himself. Sir, I think you've heard some of these allegations. What say you about the potato chips ice cream controversy? Well, I wish I could tell you I was surprised, Buck, that Mr. Orders Brussels sprouts thinks that it's bad to somehow put potatoes on ice cream, but let me just inform Clay of something that every single person listening knows, something that Reese's peanut butter cups figured out long ago and Snickers and everything else, the combination of salty and sweet. It's one of the great combinations in the history of mankind just because Clay was never forward-thinking enough to crumble up potato chips in his ice cream. Does it mean he gets to sit there and take petty shots at me as he eats Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes looking down his nose at real Americans who actually know what flavor is? That's what I had to say. You were just saying the combination of salty and sweet is great. This makes sense since you were a Kamala Harris voter. That's good. That's good. Some of you out there. Now I know why you were a white dude for Harris, Jesse. It all makes sense now. Look, I admit I did not vote for Kamala Harris. I was an enthusiastic Donald Trump supporter. However, when I think about how dumb she was in the incredible sound bites we would have had for four years, look, for my country, I'm very happy we don't have President Dome. For my radio show, I am very sad we don't have President Dome because every day she would have been giving us some kind of word salad, gobbly gook answer. I don't know if you guys saw the story, and I'm going to mess up the name, so I'm not even going to try to name it, that she did a podcast. It didn't come out. I don't think until yesterday I didn't see it. She did a podcast, recorded a podcast when she was running for president, and apparently it was so bad, they just black hold it. They never aired it at all. She was so bad, the podcaster and Dome decided, let's just pretend like this never happened. That's amazing. I did see that story. By the way, you, I think, are on record as saying the best chain restaurant is Red Lobster. In addition to being wrong about Brussels sprouts, many other things, the best chain restaurant is Chick-fil-A. I would eat Chick-fil-A 100 times out of 100 before I would go to Red Lobster.
Well, that doesn't surprise me at all, Clay. I'm sure you probably think Panda Express is good Chinese food, but when you walk into a red lobster, and you eat cheddar bay biscuits, and you order the shrimp scampy, and then get another fresh order of warm cheddar bay biscuits, and you break them open, and you dip them in the red, in the, in the shrimp scampy, lemon butter. That's when you know what heaven is while you're sitting across the street eating soggy waffle fries from Chick-fil-A, of course. All right, Jesse, Jesse, this is important. This is important because we had a caller. We didn't plan this. A caller called in who's familiar with your work and familiar with your self-titling as the menu whisperer and called this into question based solely on your love of Red Lobster. So I want to throw one or two situations at you here. We're going to kind of put you on the spot. We're going to play this out a little bit. You are at Chick-fil-A. What is the best order you can make, Mr. Menu Whisperer? Like, what is the go-to? Spicy chicken sandwich meal, drop the pickles off a sandwich. It's not that I'm anti-pickle. It's when you put pickles on a sandwich, it becomes a pickle sandwich, and that's all you can taste. Spicy chicken sandwich meal, add a slice of American cheese. Make sure you ask for two or three ranch cups. Otherwise, they won't give you any. You're going to dip your sandwich in that. The waffle fries, you not only have to order them extra crispy, depending on the location, sometimes they'll give you that. Sometimes they won't. Extra crispy on the waffle fries. And, although I admit, I am not a huge milkshake, man. Chick-fil-A does an excellent milkshake, straight up vanilla milkshake. Gives you that salty, sweet. Everyone's looking for, Clay. That was pretty good. Clay, you're a little impressed. You're a little impressed. I mean, that was very specific. That was not a, you know, Chick-fil-A I've never been, and I'm just going to throw elbows about how Red Lobster's better. That was a very, that was a man who's ordered Chick-fil-A many a time. Final question for you, Jesse, as we go into the weekend. 30 seconds. Buck throughout the theory, reptiles cannot love. Have you ever contemplated whether a reptile can love or not? I think they have to be able to love because otherwise they'd never be able to reproduce. There's no way crocodiles are actually attracted to other crocodiles unless there's some form of love attached there. Interesting. That was very romantic.
