BUCK: Can I do a little quick change of pace here for a second, Clay —
CLAY: Yeah, yeah.
BUCK: — Clay to bring up something that we’ve had a little discussion about, and that is, our producer, Ali, told us yesterday on our Karate Kid discussion that her name, because…? What was it again?
CLAY: It used to be Alice. Ali was so popular from Karate Kid that now she becomes Ali.
BUCK: She becomes Ali. Well, it was pointed out to me from our Sexton family lore — and we have the video proof, folks — that my mother appeared in a Bubble Yum commercial with none other than Ralph Macchio, the Karate Kid, in 1981. Okay, my mom… (laughing)
CLAY: This is amazing. You shared the video with us last night.
BUCK: It’s phenomenal. If you go to ClayAndBuck.com, we actually have the video up. You can see it. My mom was in a commercial that ran nationally across America with The Karate Kid in 1981. She’s the redhead on the left when it starts. I think she’s the only redhead in it. Yeah, small world, Clay.
CLAY: What was the height of your mom’s acting career? The Bubblicious commercial was —
BUCK: Oh, man, my mom, was in a Hallmark Movie of the Week. Summer of My German Soldier, I believe it was called. She was also in a commercial with Jason Alexander —
CLAY: Seinfeld.
BUCK: — before Seinfeld fame.
CLAY: George.
BUCK: But she was in a commercial with him. But the best that we have for today is the Bubble Yum commercial with Ralph Macchio. So my mom was in a commercial with The Karate Kid.
CLAY: Did you not remember that at all when we had that conversation?
BUCK: My sister reminded me yesterday, my little sister. She sent me the video. It’s on YouTube. We have it up on ClayAndBuck.com now though. So if you want to see, it’s pretty remarkable. What a small, small world it really is, Clay. You never know the connections that are out there.
CLAY: Well, maybe she can come back on the Cobra Kai show. They bring back a lot of sterling participants from Macchio and Johnny’s life. Maybe your mom could have an ability to come back to the show.
BUCK: Who do you…? Of all the characters they’ve brought back — not including, obviously, Johnny and The Karate Kid himself — who were you the most happy to see?
CLAY: I’m only on season 1, but I loved the mom coming back. Right? I thought the karate mom was pretty fantastic. So I don’t know — spoiler alert — who else is gonna be coming back, but I loved when she showed up.
CLAY: I knew he came back.
BUCK: Yeah. He steals the show sometimes. He is so good as the bad guy. He’s almost Hans Gruber in Die Hard-level good.
CLAY: Poor Hans Gruber. We just lost him in the last year or so.
BUCK: I know. RIP.
CLAY: Yeah.
BUCK: Alan Rickman was his name, the actor.
CLAY: Yeah, that’s right.
