What Buck Learned at His Brotherโs Wedding
23 Aug 2021
CLAY: Buck, I want to hear about the wedding.
BUCK: Oh, man.
CLAY: What was it like? I want to have some positivity here to finish the show today.
BUCK: I know. First of all, the only downside I have to tell everybody out there is, there was no video of my funky moves on the dance floor.
CLAY: I refuse to believe these are great moves. Iโm calling it out.
BUCK: Iโm just telling you right now, I donโt even think you could handle all this funk, Mr. Travis.
CLAY: (laughing)
BUCK: But it was happening. It was black tie, and so it was a littleโฆ I would say the wedding partโฆ I was the best man, so it was a littleโฆ I think you could say it seals in all the juices. A black tie is not really aโฆ My producer Mark actually has video of me dancing at his wedding, which maybe weโll put that up on ClayAndBuck.com.
CLAY: I would love to see this.
BUCK: Yeah, the moves!
CLAY: Iโd like to see this.
BUCK: Thereโs so much funk and style in these moves, Clay. But producer Mark does have the video proof that it is a thing that happened so weโll put that up on ClayandBuck.com for some EIB 24/7 subscribers maybe. I donโt know. So thatโs how weโre gonna do that. But, no, the wedding was great. The weather this weekend was a little bit tough, but it cleared up enough. The food was absolutely fantastic. Iโm a big fan of wedding food. Can I tell you actually one funny anecdote, though?
CLAY: Yeah, for sure.
BUCK: Iโm sitting there with all my little brotherโs friends, some of whom Iโve known โcause some of them went to my high school, and Iโve known these kidsโฆ God, theyโre all in their thirties now, so theyโre not really kids. But some of them Iโve known for 20 years myself.
CLAY: You were the big brother.
BUCK: I was the big brother.
CLAY: Yeah.
BUCK: So Iโve known my little brotherโs friends forever. So itโs his groom party or whatever, and weโre sitting there, and theyโre talking aboutโฆ Iโm gonna have to make this as family friendly as possible.
CLAY: (laughing)
BUCK: But they were discussing advice โ you know, advice.
CLAY: Yeah.
BUCK: I was asking people. They said, โOkay. Whatโs the best advice that you would give or you would have for somebody whoโs just about to get married?โ And one guy whoโs been married for, I donโt know, seven or eight years now, said, โTwo bathrooms.โ He says, โYou donโt have to have them in theโฆ They donโt have to be next to each other.
โThey donโt have to be easyโฆ You need two different bathrooms, if you can get away with it.โ Obviously for a husband and wife. All right. Thatโs interesting advice. But then there was this whole conversation about what I think we would term you could say โromanceโ when youโre married or if youโre a couple.
Romance before dinner became the topic of conversation and how it actually โ and everyone just hear me out. It makes a lot of sense to be romantic before you have dinner, and some of the guys were talking about this. And one guy said to another, โThatโs one of the best bits of advice, man, Iโve ever had. Itโs a game-changer.โ
His wife who was right there. Theyโre about 32, 33. Sheโs nodding her head enthusiastically like romance before dinner is the way to go. And it made this whole chain of transmission between a whole bunch of different people sitting at this large wedding table. And the woman says, โHold on a second. Buck is the one who told me about romance before dinner a long time ago.โ
And we figured out that I had started this chain of transmission that had changed many lives over the years, many marriages and relationships for the better by convincing people, Clay, nobody wants to get all frisky after theyโve had a steak frite with some bearnaise or something.
CLAY: (laughing)
BUCK: You get romantic before dinnertime, build it into your schedule Iโm telling you itโs a game-changer.
CLAY: I think itโs not only the eating, itโs also being tired. You get in bed and next thing you know โ if itโs 10:30, 11 oโclock and you get up early in the morning โ youโre out.
BUCK: Our audience that joins the romance before dinner movement, the testimonials that will flow in on Facebook from husbands and wives will be saying, โWow. I canโt believe I never thought about that.โ Game-changer. You almost schedule it in, Clay, โcause if you wait โtil after dinner people get tired, maybe you gotta drive home from the restaurant.
CLAY: You gotta pay off the babysitter.
BUCK: Do all these things.
CLAY: You have to get the kids back to bed. Thereโs a lot of obligations.
BUCK: You build in your time before the meal. Look, people could say that Iโm a crazy person, but I can just tell you this man; The proof is in the pudding.
CLAY: I think it makes a lot of sense. By the way, proof in the pudding youโre giving advice to the married people even though, by the way, youโre still not married. Weโre just adding that.
BUCK: That is a fair point.
CLAY: That is a bit of a wrinkle in the proof-of-the-pudding argument.
BUCK: But I have benefited many a marriage with my thesis on this, I will tell you. So, romance before dinner, everybody, try it out.
CLAY: Thatโs fantastic.
