Don’t Miss It: The Dads Join Us on Friday’s Show

CLAY: Father’s Day is coming up this weekend, and we’re gonna have our dads on the program tomorrow. We are looking forward to that immensely and cannot wait for Buck’s dad to be in here. He is a big sports fan. He’s going to be in-studio. My dad is gonna be called — and, again, I do not have a lot of confidence in my dad’s ability to handle the cell phone, let’s just say.

He’s never been on the internet, doesn’t have an email address. By the way, a lot of you out there probably saying, “That doesn’t sound awful,” right, “to not have to be plugged in on a day-to-day basis on the internet.” But should be a lot of fun. We’re looking forward to it. Call the dad line now with your questions or comments: 212-445-3969.

BUCK: Is Grandpa Travis kind of like Ron Swanson? Like, is he excellent at woodworking and does he own several cabins and perhaps an undisclosed amount of gold?

CLAY: He does love… My dad’s favorite hobby, among many, is picking up sticks. He loves to walk around out outside… Everybody’s dad has different hobbies. My dad loves being outdoors walking around in a yard, in an outdoor area, and being able to pick up sticks all over the place. It’s one of his favorite things to do.

BUCK: Ron Swansonesque.

CLAY: It is.

BUCK: For those of you haven’t seen it, Ron Swanson is one of my favorite fictional TV characters from the show Parks and Rec, and they really leaned into him more. He was kind of a different character in the first season, then they realized a very patriotic, small-government individual with quite a mustache and a love of country — and I think he always says he likes breakfast food and pretty brunettes or something like that.

CLAY: Yeah.

BUCK: He became kind of a show within the show back in the Parks and Rec days.

CLAY: No, he is… It’s gonna be a lot of fun. So, I know all of you out there, as it gets closer to Father’s Day — the U.S. Open is going on. I always think of Father’s Day overlapping with the golf tournament because so often you have the winner of the golf tournament walking off the course and giving a hug to his dad or his family in sort of an iconic way that, to me, is embedded with Father’s Day.
