Bud & Trey’s Excellent Apology: Clay Admits Huge Error

CLAY: We want to… This is fun. This is on me.

BUCK: Uh-oh.

CLAY: Huge error in fact-based discussion yesterday, Buck, that I need to clear up. Yesterday, I said that Elbridge Gerry, who was where “gerrymandering” came from, was in Maryland. He was actually in Massachusetts, and I want to give credit to one of our listeners, Sondra, who emailed in. I swear to God, I’m reading this directly what she put into the email.

“Bud and Trey just reported that gerrymandering originated in Maryland. That is incorrect. It was Massachusetts. Hope they correct the error.” The irony of her being upset and correcting us while referring to us as “Bud and Trey”… This is 100% real. You got this email. We saw it after we finished the show yesterday. So, gerrymandering originated in Massachusetts, not Maryland, as I said yesterday on the show. Just note that Bud and Trey, as Sondra emailed us, are deeply, deeply apologetic for that error. Bud and Trey. That is maybe our alter egos, our crime-fighting duo, alter egos.

BUCK: Bud and Trey’s Excellent Adventure. We could do it.

CLAY: Bud and Trey. So I wanted to clear that up. I got that wrong.
