0:00This is an iHeart Podcast.
0:02Guaranteed human. Welcome in, Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show.
0:08Final hour of the week.
0:11And I just teased what I think is a significant story, and I think it
0:18may be the most significant story long -term that is going on right now.
0:23And by long -term, I mean you're going to start to see it in a
0:27significant way in the 2030 census, and it is going to change, I think, much
0:33of what, in terms of political power, exists in this country.
0:38And that is you are seeing high earners finally get fed up with left -wing
0:45governance, and they are fleeing California, Illinois, New York, Washington State.
0:53And I just talked about two different stories that are happening simultaneously on the left
0:58coast and the right coast of this country.
1:00Out on the left coast, in Washington State, they are proposing, and it looks like
1:06going to pass, a 9 .9 % yearly income tax, state income tax, on anyone
1:14who makes a million dollars or more.
1:17Simultaneously, Buck, Momdani, and I believe we have an audio cut of this, is saying
1:22that he wants a 50 % estate tax on estates of $750 ,000 or more.
1:32That's basically, Buck, anybody that owns any property at all in New York City.
1:37And you can own a $750 ,000 place in New York City and not be
1:44wealthy at all. In fact, you can struggle to even pay your bills.
1:48And some of you are going to say, how is that possible?
1:51Because of the taxes and because of cost of living.
1:54Here is Momdani talking about this.
1:57Let's listen. I believe it's cut 24.
2:00Amidst being in the wealthiest city and the wealthiest country in the history of the
2:03world, we already see an exodus of working and middle -class New Yorkers.
2:07So I don't have a hesitation in asking those who make the most amount of
2:11money in this city or the most profits in this city to pay a little
2:13bit more so that everyone can actually stay in this city.
2:16It's also something not just about justice or the ability for working -class people to
2:22live here. It is also actually about ensuring that corporations can continue to attract the
2:27top talent to this city.
2:29Okay. This is... Let me take a step back.
2:34When you look at the actual...
2:35Because I'm fired up about this, Buck, and so I want to be crystal clear
2:38on this. The data reflects that whenever you put these taxes in place, you do
2:44not get the money that you expect you're going to get because those who can
2:48avoid paying the tax and leave or find super impressive accounting to avoid paying the
2:55tax do. And so you actually end up netting less in tax because you are
3:02driving away the biggest income taxpayers.
3:05And, Buck, I see it in my neighborhood.
3:08We have moved. We have a couple of neighbors.
3:10My builders said, Hey, a couple of your neighbors now are New York guys.
3:16They were just fed up with taxes.
3:18They realized during COVID, Hey, we can run our businesses as well from other states
3:24as we can here. Buck, in your neighborhood, there's guys coming in like crazy with
3:29big wealth that are just saying, Hey, whether it's Mark Zuckerberg, whether it's Peter Thiel,
3:36whether it's Howard Schultz, we could go through a whole list of people that have
3:40just said, I'm done with California.
3:42I'm done with New York.
3:43I'm done with Illinois. I'm done with Washington.
3:45I'm done with these high tax locales.
3:47And some of you out there are saying, Oh, I'm so nervous.
3:50These people are like locust.
3:51What I can tell you is they're actually making the red redder.
3:56Go look at the voter rolls in Florida.
3:58Go look at the outcome in Tennessee and Texas.
4:01We are gaining a lot of super impressive, talented people.
4:07Elon Musk in Texas, Starbucks of all places just announced.
4:11They're going to hire thousands of new people in Tennessee.
4:14Oracle is relocating to Nashville.
4:16And the people that are by and large moving into these communities and red states
4:22are actually making them redder.
4:23And Buck, this is going to be transformative on so many different levels because what
4:28it's going to do is it's going to make the low tax states have way
4:31better services. And the people that are left behind in New York and California and
4:36Illinois and Washington are going to keep getting taxed at higher rates.
4:40The tax base is going to be leaving and the resources and a tax base
4:44is just going to continue to diminish.
4:46I think this is a huge story.
4:49Again, there's two different kinds of billionaires in my mind who end up leaving New
4:56York, California, Washington state. There's a concentration of billionaires in those places, right?
5:05You have Silicon Valley in California.
5:07You have the Microsoft slash Starbucks, you know, tech and everything else going on in
5:15Seattle. And you have, so you have billionaires there too.
5:19And obviously a lot of billionaires in New York, but the ultra rich who moved
5:23to Florida, I mean, who have always supported the insane Democrat policies and always said
5:32things like, I think we should pay more taxes and I think we should have
5:37bigger government and blah, blah, blah, all that stuff.
5:41They really tick me off.
5:44And there's a difference. You have the Elon Musks and people like him and Peter
5:50Thiel has been helping the right and been on the right for a long time.
5:56So he's not new to the game.
5:57But you have Peter Thiel, you have Elon Musk, you have people who have come
6:03forward and said, the Democrat approach to governance fails.
6:09I don't want my companies to be subjected to this idiocy anymore.
6:13I'm going to Texas. I'm going to Florida.
6:16And that's great because they are telling everybody what the reality is and they are
6:23therefore a part of the solution.
6:25The challenge that I see here is people like Schultz, because he's been so, you
6:31know, left -wing and lib for so long, the Starbucks CEO, he's going to come
6:36on down to Florida, he's going to buy some $50 million waterfront place and the
6:40whole thing, and he's going to be writing checks to Democrats.
6:44And he's going to be pushing the same nonsense.
6:46And you just, you know, what does it take for these people to realize?
6:51By the way, imagine this, Clay.
6:52If you had to move your company, and you started off in Tennessee, so you've
6:55been good to go the whole time, wasn't you.
6:57Right, yeah. Imagine if you had to move your company from a state after it
7:01had been there for decades because your people are taxed too much, the crime is
7:07too high, there's crazy homeless people attacking them on public transit, etc., etc.
7:12Wouldn't you want to say something about that publicly when you were moving to Tennessee
7:16or Florida? You know, wouldn't you want to come out and just, like, have at
7:20it a little bit? No.
7:22They're just going to be like, yeah, you know, we're just keeping residences in multiple
7:25states, and Schultz is going to be a Florida resident for tax purposes, I can
7:30assure you. I will say what you're saying.
7:33First of all, of course I would run my mouth.
7:34I mean, I don't know.
7:36You would. I meant anyone would.
7:38But I will say, to her credit, the In -N -Out owner of the burger
7:44franchise, she relocated to basically my neighborhood, and she teed off on California.
7:50Well, she's right, but she's the sane person.
7:52She's a little bit, she's a reasonable human being, right?
7:56She's known as that. I agree with you.
7:58This is what gets me so angry.
7:59If you have FU money, and you aren't, what are you afraid of?
8:04Well, this is, if you left California for Austin, and you still think that you
8:09should do California stuff in Austin while surrounded by the rest of Texas, you are
8:14an imbecile, and you are ruining the community you have moved to.
8:18This is where I think Elon has actually created a lot of space, because there
8:24are many people that agree with everything that we say inside of companies that have
8:30gone woke, and every now and then they'll come up to me, and they'll whisper,
8:34they'll be like, hey, I work at insert company here, and I can't tell you
8:39how many people inside of this company will sometimes share tweets or segments from your
8:44show. We have a secret text chain and everybody.
8:49I get why guys that are trying to make a living, guys and gals out
8:53there, that you've got a mid -tier job, and you've got to pay tuition, and
8:57you've got to pay mortgage, and all those things.
8:59The people that really infuriate me are the ones who nobody could ever do anything
9:05to, right? If you have $25 million in America today, the odds of anybody being
9:10able to do anything to you or your family that ever would impact, and I'm
9:15being generous at 25. That's a lot.
9:17That's a lot. I mean, yeah, it's less than that.
9:19I'm saying, like, some of the biggest cowards on the planet are super rich guys,
9:24because they're afraid, oh, am I going to be able to sit on this charity
9:28benefit if I say what I really think?
9:29I was going to say, when you're super rich, what do you still want?
9:32You want the approval of your peer group.
9:36Not everybody, but this is what ends up happening.
9:38You want people to think well of you who also have beachfront homes in the
9:43Hamptons and Nantucket and live in Bel Air and live in Malibu and live in
9:49Calorama in a mansion in D .C.
9:52You want them to like you, because everything else you already have.
9:56You're surrounded by people who kiss your butt all the time because you're paying all
9:59their bills and they need you.
10:01So what you want are the other people.
10:03You want the other rich guys and gals to say, oh, you're doing great stuff.
10:08Oh, you're invited to the garden party.
10:11This is real human psychology.
10:13This is why you have like Alex Soros running around, the ultimate Nepo baby, who
10:18is just like a pyromaniac lighting civilization on fire everywhere he can.
10:24Again, this is maybe where I'm a little bit, I don't know.
10:29There's something in my personality.
10:30Like, I don't care. I genuinely don't care.
10:32I'm going to tell you exactly what I think.
10:34Clay, you are an unusual duck, just so you know.
10:38Not everyone is as throw down as you are.
10:42But I don't get it.
10:43I don't want people to be dishonest and not say what they really think.
10:47If you think that I'm a moron, go ahead and let me have it.
10:50But it doesn't mean that I can't have a beer with you.
10:52you and the idea that i can't sit on some board thank you the last
10:56thing i want to be doing is is sitting on a board with awful people
10:59uh i don't like meetings period so don't even get me started on having to
11:03go to meetings for things that i that i wouldn't even want to be at
11:06um and so i just i wish that there was more steel spine because to
11:11your point if you are relocating across the whole country because the state has made
11:17awful decisions i think you have an obligation to tee off on the state government
11:22that you are leaving and say i'm leaving because you guys have done such an
11:28awful job and there are going to be a lot of job creators and a
11:31lot of wealth that follows me and actually tell the story and don't try to
11:36hide when you just relocate to florida texas or tennessee i gotta tell you and
11:41there was a little bit of this even when i moved down here people in
11:43florida who were like you know don't bring those new york you know don't bring
11:47those new york voting patterns down here as a tennessee and this is something people
11:51are concerned about but hold on all that concern is now the the northeasterners who
11:56have moved to florida in you know during covet and after we're like the elves
12:02who show up in helms deep in the lord of the rings my friends okay
12:05we are the right wing of the northeast and we have this is important yeah
12:10we have flipped florida redder than it has ever been we are reinforcements we are
12:15the cavalry we are not undermining you what i understand from my texas friends i'm
12:20sure someone could call and tell us this now texas for a long time because
12:23of the tax and business climate there uh relative to some of the west coast
12:28states particularly california they've been getting fancy californians who show up and and and they're
12:36making austin bluer and bluer basically and creating and is also true in some of
12:41the other cities i think as well certainly in dallas uh and that is a
12:45different phenomenon because the people that have flushed and the numbers speak for this it's
12:491 .2 million more republicans in florida now registered because of the migration from mostly
12:54the northeast but some other parts of the country too you're welcome florida we are
12:59here by the way this is where i get concerned blue those people who are
13:05left behind the red state normal thinking refugees staten island listening to us right now
13:11in wor a lot of long island much of west chester now where people are
13:15still sane and you know certain pockets of uh of manhattan proper they're going to
13:22get drowned in even more blue craziness because buck what should happen is people should
13:28look around and say these are really bad ideas that we are enabling with the
13:34election of people like mom donnie brandon johnson in uh in chicago uh instead they're
13:41going to double triple and quadruple down on crazy which is going to continue to
13:46drive away even more people and i think what's going to happen is quality of
13:51life in places like texas tennessee and florida is going to skyrocket even more than
13:56it is now in a favorable direction because the revenue is going to be better
14:00the services are going to be better the safety is going to be better your
14:04kids schools are going to be better i'm talking about public schools and all of
14:08that's going to be moving in the opposite direction in all of these blue places
14:12and i think we're going to see a fundamental realignment of power as a result
14:17because as money moves into these new states and they have less regulation and lower
14:21taxes everything's going to get better and as money moves out of new york and
14:26illinois and uh and california and washington all these places everything's going to get worse
14:30and we're going to see a fundamental realignment i saw i think it was peter
14:34teal said miami is going to replace new york city as the financial capital of
14:38the united states i think that this is going to happen i think within 10
14:42years that may be that may be true i think that actually is happening all
14:46right there's a nationwide non -profit that i really need you to take a moment
14:49to think about pre -born because there's no organization or team more dedicated to helping
14:55pregnant mothers with the toughest decision that they're going to make which is of course
14:59life or abortion for their baby but pre -born staffers they've heard it all and
15:04they know about the pressure that women are under when they have an unplanned pregnancy
15:07and in so many cases the society around them is pushing them toward abortion but
15:12at pre -born clinics a woman receives compassion without pressure she receives clarity about the
15:17life growing inside her and when she gets that ultrasound more than 80 percent of
15:21the time that mom chooses life but this is only possible because pre -born is
15:26supported by you the pro -life community this march pre -born is attempting to save
15:31the lives of 6800 babies just this month but it will take thousands of people
15:36like you listening to just say yes to this ask please pause your busy day
15:41for a moment and consider saying yes to a gift of just 28 that's the
15:46cost of one of these ultrasounds and you could be saving a tiny baby's life
15:50with that donation if you could spare 140 that would help five mothers to make
15:57the choice for life to donate use your cell phone and dial pound 250 and
16:02say the keyword baby that's pound 250 say baby or visit preborn .com slash buck

16:59Welcome back in here to Clay and Buck.
17:01We got some talkbacks. Let's get to them.
17:04Kay Kathleen from Miami listens on WIOD.
17:07Hit it. Yes, we're nervous because these people will come here from Florida and they
17:13will vote the way they voted in New York and California only for us to
17:18get the same stuff they left.
17:20Old news. We all know it, but it's still true.
17:24Kathleen, I'm just telling you the data doesn't support this.
17:27The data is very clear.
17:28You've gotten a million Republicans have moved into your state.
17:31Now, I'm not saying no Democrats, but it has been an absolute bonanza of right
17:37-wingers showing up from New York and from everywhere.
17:41This is the number one.
17:42I'm a native born and raised Tennessean.
17:45This is the number one thing that native born and raised Tennesseans come up to
17:48me. You're getting libs. You're getting some libs from California.
17:52I know about what's not all, but I mean, you're definitely getting some.
17:54I'm going to get some, but it's 75 -25 or 70 -30 in favor of
18:00red state living. And I get the fear because when you live in a great
18:07state and you're born and raised there or you've been living there for a long
18:10time, you're concerned that these people are going to be like locusts and they're going
18:14to show up and try to destroy your way of life.
18:17I'm telling you, it's not happening in Florida, Texas, or Tennessee based on the voting
18:20returns. They're getting redder. You don't want them to Seattle.
18:24You're Franklin, man. I will, I will fight the rest of my life to keep
18:28that from happening. Trust, rest assured.
18:32Uh, by the way, I better tell you all about price picks in the meantime,
18:35I got all fired up.

18:50you can play in all 50 States.

19:23Welcome back in clay, Travis, Buck Sexton show.
19:26We appreciate all of you hanging out with us.
19:29And as we come up on the final 30 minutes of the program, we are
19:34excited to be joined by a guy who's having a lot of success out there
19:38in the world of culture movies in particular, Daniel Roebuck, new film called the hell
19:44Mary follows a disillusioned man, unexpectedly rediscovers purpose, family, and belief through coaching a ragtag
19:51football team at a Catholic school, uh, wrote directed and stars in it face based
19:57film, also a comedy. Daniel, what was it like playing a football coach?
20:03Is this an all time dream job?
20:05And tell us about the movie.
20:07That's a great question. You know, um, I hate to say it, but playing a
20:12mortician in getting grace was maybe the dream job.
20:16That's the job I thought I'd have, uh, if I wasn't an actor, I swear
20:20that's true. Um, yeah, uh, I played football up until eighth grade and was scouted
20:27for high school. Like, you know, cause I scouted means, Hey, you're tall, you're big,
20:33you're wide shouldered. You're stupid enough to get hit by guys bigger than you come
20:38play football. I wasn't like I was some great player, but I found the theater.
20:42I did my first play between eighth grade and high school.
20:47And, uh, and I thought, you know, being in the locker room with girls is
20:51a lot better than being in the locker room with boys, a dressing room with
20:55girls. So, uh, I never made it to football, but playing the football coach was
21:00great. Cause I did have a great coach and I've got a wife who's a
21:04bit of a tomboy. So when I was, uh, confused by some of the terminology
21:08that I didn't remember, she was always there to help me with it.
21:12That terrible. Daniel, we want to talk about the Hail Mary, but I have to
21:18ask you because, um, I'm a huge, the fugitive fan.
21:22I know you're in the fugitive.
21:22I actually remember your character well in the fugitive.
21:24My wife had never seen it and I watched it with her maybe six months
21:28ago. So I got to kind of relive that again.
21:30How does it hold up?
21:32Can I ask him a question?
21:33I'm curious, but for you for watching it, I was, I was going to ask
21:37him when you're doing it.
21:38I mean, it holds up incredibly well in my opinion, but when you're doing it,
21:41were you aware that you were making one of the great, like as you were
21:45filming that movie with Tommy Lee Jones and you at and Harrison Ford, were you
21:49aware that this was going to be, in my opinion, one of the certainly 10
21:53best thrillers of the 90s?
21:54I mean, it's a phenomenal movie.
21:56Thank you for asking that.
21:58I want to begin by saying for a brief second, Buck, I thought about naming
22:02my son Buck Roebuck, because there was something about the redundancy that I liked.
22:08I'm going to tell you, Buck is hard enough as a name, so Buck Roebuck
22:11would be really an uphill climb, but nonetheless, keep going.
22:14I named him Buster, and he's so earned that name.
22:20He's the football player of the family.
22:23Listen, when we made The Fugitive, I'm not kidding, I heard Harrison Ford say, ugh,
22:30this is going to be my Hudson Hawk.
22:32We had no idea. He thought it was going to be awful.
22:37Yeah, you guys, we, because they kept refixing the plot and changing it, rewriting it,
22:46all the dialogue we said, you guys know that, all that stuff between the marshals
22:50was improvised, then memorialized, then we shot it.
22:55So none of that dialogue was in the movie, except for, actually, Buck, where I
23:00say, this is hinky, why would he come in here?
23:03It's the only line I said that was in the script.
23:04I've used that word before because of your line in that movie.
23:07I've been like, that's hinky.
23:08That's a great line. It's hinky.
23:11So we didn't know, but, you know, I'm like you, and I think it's interesting.
23:16It's the one thing I miss now about how you could turn a TV on,
23:21you know, you get done mowing the lawn or whatever you're doing, you're like, I'm
23:24just going to take an hour for myself.
23:26And you turn the TV on and The Sting would be on or The Great
23:28Escape or Jaws, and you could watch it at any point in the story because
23:34you love the story. And you knew the story, and it was like a familiar
23:38thing. Like, I am honored that The Fugitive is one of those movies, and I
23:42agree. It is. It's kind of a timeless, really great, fast -paced movie.
23:48It was a movie that when my wife, when my wife Daniel said she hadn't
23:52seen it, I was like, top of the list.
23:54We're watching The Fugitive. Next time we have a, you know, husband -wife movie night
23:57when the baby's asleep early enough.
23:59And she thought it was excellent, too, of course.
24:01I mean, I think it's, for a thriller, it's a 10 out of 10.
24:03It's totally what you said, totally watchable at any point.
24:05But that is fascinating to me that, because I've heard the other thing.
24:08I've heard actors making a movie, like apparently the guys when they were doing Ghostbusters,
24:13for example, I know, a very different movie.
24:15But as soon as they wrapped, they were like, this is going to be amazing.
24:18Like, they kind of knew.
24:19And it's amazing to hear that you didn't know The Fugitive until maybe you got
24:24really close to the end was going to be such a great film.
24:26It tells you a lot about how the movie process goes.
24:29Well, the zeitgeist, like those guys in Ghostbusters, they were more of a cohesive unit.
24:35They had been working together over time because of Caddyshack and everything else.
24:40And they knew, you know, they knew what it was.
24:43Can I, I know we should be plugging, and you guys are so, you've blessed
24:48me so much. No, no, tell us about that.
24:50Tell us about your movie.
24:51I'm sorry to get you.
24:53Go ahead. No, no, no.
24:54I want to tell you, I'm going to divert again.
24:57You know what I just watched for two nights in a row?
24:59The Lonesome Dove. Have you guys heard of that?
25:03It's amazing. Dude, it's, my boy Tommy Lee Jones, my God.
25:10Robert Duvall, of course, because Mr.
25:12Duvall passed. What, what, eight hours of brilliant perfection.
25:22Brilliant perfection. It's on Amazon Prime.
25:24Although I had to, I watched the first four hours on my old DVD, and
25:29I thought, it's, they've got to have restored this.
25:32I'm sure it looks better.
25:34Anyway. All right, now I'm not talking about great movies.
25:36The Hail Mary, that's the movie that's out now.
25:39That's the movie that's doing great numbers.
25:41Tell us about it. Well, so the Hail Mary was born.
25:45I was, I have, I got to, you know, I have great parents.
25:48But the nuns, our nuns, the Sisters of St.
25:53Joseph of Philadelphia, who, who had me for 12 years of Catholic school, really did
25:58have an impact on guiding my, my, my moral and ethical compass.
26:05And, my spiritual compass, obviously.
26:09And, I just kind of wanted to say thank you to them in some way.
26:13And, this movie was born out of that.
26:18You know, the Hail Mary of the title isn't about the last play of the
26:21game, but the last play of the game is, is quite great.
26:26But, the Hail Mary of the title is the guy I play.
26:29And, I'm working opposite an amazing actress named Marsha Dietlein, who has starred in a
26:36couple of my movies. She's, she's spectacular as Sister Kathleen, who is named after a
26:44nun who taught me in first grade, who changed my life.
26:49That's awesome. By the way, everybody go see this movie.
26:52I want to go back to your history, because The Fugitive is great.
26:56But, we're talking to Daniel Roebuck, the movie is the Hail Mary.
27:00You also were in two television shows that I really loved.
27:04Lost, and The Man in the High Castle.
27:08What is the difference in your experience between being on a movie and being on
27:13a highly successful television show?
27:15lost, and the配erv of люд the great film show.
27:15At the time, though, I don't know whoiy, doesn't know whoa Human Voice.
27:15vision show as an actor what is the experience like how is it different for
27:20those two well you know what's great about it is you get the script every
27:24week and you don't you don't know where you'll be in the story in a
27:29movie you've got a you know 100 105 page script and you know exactly where
27:34you are in a tv show uh and now there was because those shows were
27:40um sequential in how it was all one story i also did matlock for three
27:46years in which every week was a different story and different people uh i love
27:53them both um my the blessing god's given me you guys is that like from
28:01river's edge to the fugitive to the late shift to lost to the man in
28:08the high castle and now even terrifier i have had the ability to kind of
28:13land into that story that everyone's talking about in a moment of time um which
28:21is you know hard to do for an actor to land in any story uh
28:26consistently but uh yeah they're different and uh the other thing is it's a different
28:32director almost every week or as you know they they they rotate five through but
28:39you get a different director and it's fun and lost by the way lost was
28:44one of those shows where sometimes we would shoot two episodes on the same day
28:49so there was you'd say who what what's going on in this one what did
28:54i just come from in that one um you know but the experience is look
28:59it's it's all great i'm i'm a kid i'm 63 when star wars came out
29:04i was 13 uh and i ended up in star wars i've got a great
29:09character i play in these video games and and worked with arson ford and when
29:13i was 12 i was a vampire clown in a circus and i ended up
29:17becoming grandpa monster a funny vampire so i have been consistently blessed uh and all
29:25of it has led me to this moment in time where i make these faith
29:28-based movies because because you guys look we're we see the world in a similar
29:33way because i you know i pay attention to you um we're we're our our
29:40culture is is fast slipping down into a vast nothingness because everything given us they
29:49call it entertainment it's just like they call it news it's all the same with
29:54a dip with one point of view so how could it be entertaining if if
29:58you know how it's going to end who's going to be in it all that
30:01other stuff we're talking to daniel roebuck i want to give you an opportunity to
30:05speak out on this too as we finish uh the interview i want everybody to
30:09go see the hell mary daniel roebuck's book uh daniel roebuck's uh movie so i've
30:14told buck i did uh i've done daily television a ton in la uh sports
30:20-based and the amount of time that guys who work on those shows build sets
30:25carry the cameras around during breaks will come up and give me a fist pound
30:30and say dude you're saying everything that i wish i could say i think a
30:34lot of people listening to us have this idea that hollywood is a monolith and
30:38that everybody hates what many of the people listening to this right now uh would
30:43believe i found that not to be true particularly the number of guys and gals
30:48who work and do the actual grunt work of making movies and television i bet
30:53you have too maybe you could tell people out there don't always paint with a
30:58huge broad brush when it comes to the people who make many of these movies
31:01and actually do the physical jobs yeah the crew you are clay you're right the
31:08crew is generally thinking more in the spectrum that i think we think um but
31:17the people running it uh you know uh are not you know they make a
31:24lot of movies about how horrible the blacklist is but believe me if they you
31:30know they they wouldn't blacklist you in a second um i try to stay and
31:36i'll be honest with you this is the maybe the most that i've leaned even
31:39in a conversation because i'm i don't really give uh uh a flying egg what
31:46robert de niro thinks about anything let alone politics i you know being being uh
31:56the you know billy ellish all these people one after another they're they're millionaires who
32:02have no sense of the common life that common man live but you're talking about
32:07the hard -working crew that's the common man by the way that's me i'm a
32:11working class guy when you're a character actor you don't i don't have the i
32:16don't have the platform to be a uh star my platform is to support the
32:22star but i made a good living standing next to andy griffith and kathy bates
32:28and you know don johnson and and they put the new name into art the
32:33clown you know what i mean um but uh i i think you know people
32:39going to see like our movie the hill mary it's it's on angel studios now
32:43We just premiered there. It'll be running on, if you can't find it in the
32:48theater now, soon it'll be on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, all those.
32:54But, look, the only way we can get Hollywood to change is we've got to
33:00keep making these smaller movies.
33:02We've got to show them that there's success in it, get people into the movies.
33:07The only way you're going to change it is if someone sees that, huh, I
33:11can maybe make money from that.
33:12I make the movies through, like, the Hail Marys made through a not -for -profit
33:17called A Channel of Peace.
33:18People could go to achannelofpeace .org.
33:21We literally make the movies.
33:22I don't get paid to act, direct, write, produce.
33:26Up to this point, I haven't.
33:28I don't know that I can hold on to that forever.
33:30But this movie, the Hail Mary, is my gift and the gift of my wife
33:35and my daughter, my family, all who worked on it.
33:39It's our gift. And we hope people will take a moment to go see it.
33:44Awesome. The movie is The Hail Mary.
33:47Daniel Roebuck, we appreciate the time.
33:49And good luck with the movie going forward.

36:04Play D. All right, Clay.
36:06As a millennial, I feel like I'm in the perfect middle position here to mog
36:09you on Gen X trivia.
36:11The Biff Henderson. It was Biff Tannen.
36:15Come on, man. And the proof.
36:18He's right. E, we got wrong.
36:23Just because I live in the future and you live in the past doesn't mean
36:27you have to be angry at me.
36:29And, you know, like back in the day, there were a lot of Biff.
36:32Was it Biff Henderson? The foil of Marty McClod?
36:35Back to the future? Yeah.
36:37Yeah. Buck, I know why we got this wrong.
36:41This is like Wyatt Earp.
36:44You got to back your brother's play.
36:45Like, what am I going to leave Clay hanging on this one?
36:47Come on. Biff Henderson was the stage manager in the 90s for David Letterman.
36:53There's not a lot of Biffs in my experience.
36:56So, that was on us.
36:58A big whiff. We got mogged by listeners.
