The Cult of Clancy – August 24, 2026

**Drew Lane** (0:00)
You're listening to The Drew Lane Show.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:02)
One of the most talented people I've ever met in my life.

**Brandon McAfee** (0:09)
Yeah, Bryan Atkerson, a big fan of the show. Tateen's boyfriend.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:14)
Wow.

**Brandon McAfee** (0:15)
The man who administered Narcan at her darkest moment.

**Trudi Daniels** (0:19)
So a hero.

**Brandon McAfee** (0:20)
And, well, she was on Heroes, and she had a hero. He did have some very non-heroic moments, which we're going to be hearing about.
This is a crazy news cycle we're in right now, I swear. Between Hayden Panettiere and Lindsay Clancy and Carmelo Anthony, and just on and on. It's just complete madness. And we're going to throw ourselves right into it. Coming up, Hall Financials, our sponsor. They've been with us a long time. Mortgage rates are the lowest. They've been in three years. And, of course, you get great service from Hall Financial. 7,005 star views. That's why they want you to take advantage of those low rates. Give them a shot. Give them an address. Give them an address with a mortgage, hopefully, and let them do their magic. In a competitive market, they're quick and fast, reliable. Mortgage process can help make an offer stand out. Fast closings, clear communication, thousands of 5-star experiences. That's what separates Hall Financials. So when you go to callhallfirst.com/drew, set your alarm and see how quickly they get back to you, because they are quick. Quicker than some people I'm waiting to get back to me right now about some Tiger tickets and some other things, damn it.
I'm trying to get a few things done and people aren't getting back to me. Oh my God. But that wouldn't happen if it was Hall Financial. If I need help with my mortgage, they'd be pretty damn quick. Go to callhallfirst.com/drew. I wonder where Jim is in the competition now. We're getting towards the end of the month. He claimed he had tied the amazing Josh Sell.
Josh Sell is, I mean, he just lights up the room.

**Trudi Daniels** (1:51)
Is it singular sell? He needs to add the S to his name legally, don't you think, Josh Sell?

**Brandon McAfee** (1:56)
That's a tough question, Josh Sell. Yeah, Josh Sell would be better.

**Trudi Daniels** (1:58)
It's active.

**Roberto** (1:59)
Should name change his name to Josh?

**Brandon McAfee** (2:05)
No, he lights up a room. He gives the shirt off his back. He's just a ferocious kind of fierce guy.
Amazing. What did they say about Hayden that I was objecting to?

**SPEAKER_6** (2:17)
Not that she lights up a room.

**Brandon McAfee** (2:19)
No, it was something about her fierceness, I think, or she's...

**SPEAKER_2** (2:25)
She'll always hold a special place in my heart.

**Brandon McAfee** (2:29)
I wanted to make people think about me when they heard it, because it was kind of commonplace, but not quite as common as lighting up the room or giving the shirt off their back. Probably not the best time to think about you when someone dies, but I want you to think about me when you hear these cliché comments that people make, because they need to be stopped.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:49)
Can I ask a question? Yes.

**Trudi Daniels** (2:52)
Maybe people who are listening. Have you ever had the situation I had today when I went to the Secretary of State? I obviously got my license renewed, and my license because it's been a couple of years.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:02)
When did you do it online?

**Trudi Daniels** (3:03)
I did it as many times as I could online, and they make you come in eventually. So this is the time I had to go in.

**Brandon McAfee** (3:09)
Anytime I go anywhere. Yeah, I went to the bank.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:12)
When did you go to the bank? When did you do it online?

**Marc Fellhauer** (3:14)
Is that usually coming from me?

**SPEAKER_7** (3:15)
I know. Sometimes.

**Brandon McAfee** (3:18)
Often.

**Trudi Daniels** (3:19)
So I go in there with this horror story that Marc told me about Julie having to spend two hours there.

**Marc Fellhauer** (3:23)
Yeah, she had a 3.3 appointment. She gets in, and they said, well, we're 40 minutes behind.

**SPEAKER_12** (3:28)
Why do I have an appointment?

**Brandon McAfee** (3:30)
Right.

**Trudi Daniels** (3:30)
Exactly. That makes no sense.

**Brandon McAfee** (3:32)
But I went there and stood in line, and I waited like 35 minutes. I just stood in line.

**SPEAKER_8** (3:38)
There were a million people in front of me too.

**Trudi Daniels** (3:40)
The wait. But I had my appointment.

**Brandon McAfee** (3:43)
Why didn't you make an appointment? I was talking to myself.
