Who Wants to Watch a Super Woke She-Hulk?

CLAY: During the commercial break there just got a bunch of pictures. My wife and our 7-year-old are out here in Utah on ATVs tearing it up all throughout the mountains. It really is beautiful out here. And we are having a fantastic time. Appreciate all the people hosting us in this market and all of you listening across the state of Utah, certainly all over the country but in particular here as we have a visit going on through the weekend.

And, Buck, I spend basically an inordinate amount of time watching every superhero movie that is made, whether it’s Marvel, whether it’s DC Comics, I’ve got three boys. They’re sort of in the superhero perfect ages — you know, 13, 14 years old, all the way down to 7. And so the boys are all-in on it. I have zero interest, and they have zero interest, in watching She-Hulk. We know that Batgirl — and I don’t think this got enough attention — for those of you out there who are not paying attention to superheroes, everybody knows that they canceled CNN+ and they’ve been making a lot of changes. They spent $90 million, Buck, on a movie called Batgirl, and it was evidently so bad that they are taking a tax write-off rather than even release it on streaming. So, this is a mess about exactly what’s going on there. And there’s a new show called She-Hulk. You tell me if I’m wrong — I believe this is an attorney who can turn into –

BUCK: Yes.

CLAY: — a female version of the Incredible Hulk?

BUCK: It’s a woke, feminist lawyer lady who can turn green and super muscly!

CLAY: Who wants to watch this? Like, what is the audience that is sitting around thinking, “I want a super woke female version of the Hulk”? I would love to see this pitch.

BUCK: Yeah. We actually have some audio from the show, just so — you’re wondering, are you in need of being harangued by a postmodernist feminist who’s whiny and doesn’t see reality for what it really is? If the answer is “yes,” check out She-Hulk. Producer Mike, would you play the clip, please?

BUCK: “Because also the pay gaps and the women’s march!” Give me a break, Clay. We really have to have the most over — the most overused and nonsense, “Oh, I have to explain my area of expertise.” I’m not saying that doesn’t happen, but like, come on, man, this is the usual feminist nonsense.

CLAY: I went to law school with more girls in my law school class than guys.

BUCK: More women go to undergrad college than men now.

CLAY: By far. It’s like 60-40. And I saw an article — and you guys know I love the Wall Street Journal and generally give them an awful lot of praise. They had a front page article where they were talking about how women are still underpaid, and then it went into law school graduates. And I wanted to pull my hair out. That was the very opening.

Buck, every single law firm pays men and women the exact same starting salary. And then it said, but by six or seven years, people make different salaries. And the answer is yes because many people decide — and I was one of them — big law firm lifestyle sucks. It’s an awful job for many people.

BUCK: It particularly sucks if you’re a woman, especially from ages, say, 25 to 35 where I have a family member who works in big law, Clay. It’s all billable hours.

CLAY: It’s all that matters.

BUCK: It’s all that matters.

CLAY: You are a number. You are a number.

BUCK: You are chained to that desk. And there are guys — and Jordan Peterson, for example, talks about this a lot — who will make the choice that they’re basically gonna sacrifice a decade of their lives to try to make partner. There are women who also make that choice. But there are a lot of women will say, “Hold on. I actually want to have a family. I want to be a mom.” And so they make different choices. That’s not the same thing.

CLAY: Being discriminated against. And that’s a choice I made. I didn’t want to be a big-firm attorney because I was like, man, there’s nothing more miserable than sitting and tracking your time, which is what lawyers have to do, in six-minute increments at a desk job for 14 hours a day. I was just miserable doing it.

But this whole idea of, “Oh, the world is out to get me. Oh, my God. Somebody yelled a compliment to me as I was walking down the street. I am furious.” Like, I wish people yelled compliments at me when I walk down the street.

BUCK: I haven’t been catcalled in a long time. I’m getting a little upset.

CLAY: It would make my day if there were girls I was walking by and they were like, “You’re the best looking dad we’ve ever seen,” if they were whistling when I walked by.

BUCK: The two of us walking around in Salt Lake, yeah, you guys are pretty cute —

CLAY: I’d like to be catcalled!

BUCK: — Wait, you stepped on the punch line.

CLAY: My bad.

BUCK: For radio —

CLAY: I’d like to be catcalled just once. Somebody out there, if you see me, please catcall me.

BUCK: Clay’s Twitter is about to be very interesting.
