Clay Travis
Third hour of Clay and Buck kicks off now. Thanks for being here with us, everybody. A lot to get into. Just a brief addendum or update to something we mentioned in the first hour about how Trump and the White House are going after these woke universities, holding them to account, saying no more free ride on federal tax dollars. Trump has now said that he is considering taxing Harvard as a political entity, which just goes to show you, he's not backing down on this at all. I think one component of the Trump administration that I really like and I think is very effective and very in the moment. You know, it's a Trump knows what time it is strategy and that is the offense. Offense. Offense meaning do things, go for things. Go after the parts of this country, whether it's institutions or it's deep state or it's bureaucracies or whatever, go after the problems everywhere all at once with everything that you can lawfully under the Constitution. Great example of this, Clay. The border numbers year over year for March have come in. And this March there were something like 7,000 encounters at the border the entire month. I think the previous year there were 137,000. So, yeah, it can be done, right? We, we don't notice, we don't spend as much time talking about the border on the show. We were, we were banging the drums and, you know, hitting all the alarms for years on this program because we needed to, because of how insane it was. And I think we were as focused on it as absolutely anybody else out there, perhaps more so. I think it was one of the primary issues that propelled Trump and the Republicans to this enormous victory they had in this last election. But Clay, there are still, there's still a lot to be done and they're moving on all fronts. That then takes me to the deportation component of this and how the Democrats have decided that this is really, this is an area where they want to fight, they want to dig in. And it brings me to Kilmar Abrego, Garcia. Now he is an alleged MS.13 gang member. Stephen Miller has been absolutely en fuego on the television talking to people who will listen, at least about how this is not a close call. This is no longer under the authority of any federal judge to try to change or overturn. And here is a former attorney general of the state of Florida, my home state, Pam Bondi, now the U.S. attorney General who is just saying, look, the people that are telling Bukele, the president of El Salvador, that he has to give this guy back, this gang member back, they're living in a fantasy world. Play:1.
- [03:36]
Buck Sexton
Listening to all these liberal reporters, they keep calling him a Maryland man. He's not a Maryland man. He's part of a foreign terrorist organization. He's a member of Ms. 13 who, as you laid out in your monologue, came to this country and committed just gang acts. He was caught and he was. Two judges, an immigration judge and an appellate judge ruled that he was an MS.13 member as well as ISIS testimony. Yet his attorneys are saying he's not affiliated with the gang. They're wrong. And he has no right to be there. And President Bukele does not want to give him back to the United States, nor do we want him back.
- [04:16]
Clay Travis
Clay, what do you think happens here?
- [04:19]
Unknown Speaker 2
It's such an interesting question. This is where I put on my lawyer hat. I mean, the Supreme Court didn't say that America had to bring him back from El Salvador. And Bukele yesterday said, why would I return this individual to the United States? There now are reports which are crazy that I believe the senator from one of the senators from Maryland at least is saying, I'm going to travel to El Salvador to make sure this guy's okay. He's an illegal. I mean, I look at this and I just say this is where Trump has outsmarted many of his critics. Do you really think very many people in the United States think that senators should be traveling out of our country to make sure that people who had no business being here are being held in a manner that you find to be acceptable in a foreign country? And so I think this is just the reflexively anti Trump perspective that has lit the Democrat brand on fire. Unless the court says you have to return this, the Supreme Court says you have to return this person from El Salvador, which I don't think they're going to do because it gets into foreign policy, then I think this story is just going to eventually go away because I don't think it's that compelling. I do think it's significant the way that Pam Bondi there says, and you talked about this in the way that they define someone. Maryland dad, Maryland man. No, he's an illegal immigrant that had no ability to be here and he's been deported. And so the way that you decide to classify someone, the pictures that you choose to use, remember when they used this was years ago. But remember when they would use in the situation down in, down in Florida, they would often use pictures of somebody who's like four or five years older. What was the shooting situation, the self defense case in Florida?
- [06:20]
Clay Travis
Oh, Zimmerman with Trayvon Martin. They had, they had Trayvon Martin. They had photos of him when he was like 12 with his graduation cap on. He was like 18 years old and 165 pounds and over 6ft tall.
- [06:34]
Unknown Speaker 2
I mean he was like a big grown man. And they would use photos of him when he looked like he was 13 or 14 years old. The way that you.
- [06:41]
Clay Travis
Not even. He was. He was like 11. He was 11 or 12. They were using prepubescent photos of, of an 18 year old man. They also changed the audio tape which somebody at one of the news affiliates got fired for. They actually edited the tape to make Zimmerman seem more racist. That was also clay the rise of the white Hispanic conversation. You know, if his name happened with.
- [07:03]
Unknown Speaker 2
Michael Brown in, in Ferguson where they tried to make it seem like he wasn't in any way engaged in violent acts, that story just kind of vanished when the Obama was presenting Mike Brown.
- [07:14]
Clay Travis
As a gentle scholar.
- [07:15]
Unknown Speaker 2
That's right.
- [07:15]
Clay Travis
Wearing a. His. Every photo of him from the New York Times was him in a, you know, like a graduation cap, looking like he's about to start his MD program somewhere.
- [07:26]
Unknown Speaker 2
Right.
- [07:26]
Clay Travis
And the reality was there was a video of him doing a strong arm robbery a few minutes before the incident with the cop, which is why he got pulled over. So he left. He did. He was not wearing his cap and gown during the strong arm robbery.
- [07:38]
Unknown Speaker 2
No doubt. And the way that these stories are told are significant here by the way, is Caroline Levitt just a little bit ago cut through 30. She just did an hour White House press briefing saying, yeah, he's not coming back. Cut 30.
- [07:51]
Pam Bondi
Abrego Garcia was a foreign terrorist. He is an Ms. 13 gang member. He was engaged in human trafficking. He illegally came into our country and so deporting him back to El Salvador was always going to be the end result. There is never going to be a world in which this is an individual who's going to live a peaceful life in Maryland because he is a foreign terrorist and a ms.13 gang member. Not only have we confirmed that President, President Bukele yesterday in the Oval Office confirmed that as well. So he went back to his home country where he will face consequences for his gang affiliation and his engagement in human trafficking. I'm not sure what is so difficult about this for everyone in the media to understand. And it's appalling, truly appalling, that there has been so much time covering this alleged human trafficker and this gang member. Ms. 13 gang member. It's truly striking to me.
- [08:44]
Unknown Speaker 2
I think what this represents is a flailing attempt to find something that sticks. Think about it. In the last three or four weeks, what have we heard? The talking point was egg prices are out of control. Trump is making you pay more for eggs. Well, wholesale egg prices are down and you are going to be paying substantially less than you were when Biden was in office, if you aren't already very soon. So that story has vanished. Stock market last week, oh my goodness, for the last 10 days. Oh, my goodness, the stock market's going to collapse. You're going to. Everybody's going to lose all their money. Trump has no idea. Well, it's gone, right? Stock market's basically same price it was in September. That has faded as the sort of lack of a movement has, has declined. Right now the new argument is, oh, Trump's going to deport you. Right? That's what they're really trying to pivot from. They're trying to go from, if he can take this Maryland man and send him to El Salvador, why can't he do the same thing to you? Well, presumably because you're an American citizen. That's why he can't do it. That's the easy answer. If you are here illegally and you have a history of violent crime, then they can get you and they are going to try to deport you. And you should think that because I think one story is not being told, Buck. I do think a significant number of people are self deporting. You know, we talked about how the southern border is shut down and there's a limit on how many people in any given month that Trump can get out of the country. I think if you have a criminal record, you may be starting to look at this and say, wait a minute, I don't want to end up in a El Salvador prison. I'm free and clear and able to move around right now. I think there are tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people here illegally. That are seeing what's going on. And they're saying, maybe I should just go back to my home country or at least go back somewhere in Latin America.
- [10:33]
Clay Travis
You know, when you dig into this Abrego Garcia case, it also is indicative, Clay, of just the scam that has been run so many millions, even tens of millions of times against this country with the total assistance of ideologues in the judiciary. This guy was arrested back in 2019, but a judge said, oh, we can't deport you, even though you're an illegal. Because he had a fear of a credible fear of violence in his home country. The, as we are told, violent gang member was able to stay in America because he said, oh, man, it's too scary for me to go back to El Salvador. And a judge bought it and overrode federal law under this withholding from removal order. But as Stephen Miller has pointed out, his. His participation in MS.13, a foreign designated terrorist organization, overrides the removal order, which makes perfect sense. Right? You can't. Or the withholding removal order. I mean, you can't have somebody who's protected from violence, who's actually perpetrating violence themselves. But the whole thing is just so nuts. Democrats just don't want to deport anybody, Clay. That's really. Everything else is really noise. They don't want to deport anybody that makes them feel good about themselves to say everybody can stay and everybody can come and whatever happens to the country, we deserve it because of, you know, colonialism or something, but they actually don't want to deport anyone.
- [12:13]
Unknown Speaker 2
What I think is wild is how much time we spent talking about how wide open the southern border on this show and other places, the debate. We even had more on Republicans who were saying, you know what, let's go ahead and sign on with the Democrats and do a bill in the summer of 2024. I don't think voters should forget who was willing to do that. And Trump and Tom Homan just kept consistently saying, if you elect us, we'll shut down the southern border. Southern border, shut down. The story is completely gone. There is not even any acknowledgment of the fact that overnight, effectively, Trump shut down the United States southern border in terms of illegal crossings.
- [12:52]
Clay Travis
When have we ever had an administration come in saying that they would essentially solve a top three concern of the American people and do it within 60 days. I can't think of anything else where so quickly something so important to the electorate was by the numbers, objectively addressed and solved in the way that this has, which I think has wrong footed the Democrats even further with all the, all the other stuff they've got lack of leadership and the, you know, the trans agenda and the crazy stuff that they all believe. Clay, the problem is that Trump is keeping his promises.
- [13:35]
Unknown Speaker 2
Yes.
- [13:35]
Clay Travis
And he's doing what he said he would do. And so that just drives Democrats even more insane because what they were hoping was you'd get a little bit of what you had in 2017 where you had, you had some swamp creatures saying they were going to drain the swamp and you had some bad pics and you had some, you know, some, some Democrat advisors around Trump. And look, I'm not saying it wasn't very good overall, but there were some missteps and Trump has admitted those missteps this time around. It's just all systems go. And I think that drives them even more insane.
- [14:04]
Unknown Speaker 2
I'm not sure you can point to anything that was an acknowledged problem. And again, you can say Democrats didn't really acknowledge it was a problem until it got to be election season. But that a politician has come into office and eliminated 95% of in the first hundred days ever because 95% of illegal border crossings are gone. Is there any other comparable example to a promise made by a political candidate that was immediately delivered to this extent in the first hundred days? I think the border is one of the greatest success stories in modern American political history in terms of what Trump was able to do solely without congressional authority, despite the arguments to the contrary for years and years.
- [14:45]
Clay Travis
Well, and it also has proven that those of us, you, me and all of you who were screaming under Biden's administration, they just don't want to enforce the law. This is a decision. This isn't. They're overwhelmed and they can't fix it. They don't want to fix it. We were right. Because Trump fixed it in the blink of an eye because he wanted to. So all those other people were lying to you. You know, that's everyone else in the media who's all. But the border. It's so complicated. No, actually, if you enforce the law, they stop coming. Almost like with crime, Clay, you back police and you take violent offenders and people that are repeat offenders off the street, everyone gets safer, there's less crime. How Democrats don't, how the Democrat brain cannot seize on these things. Unfortunately, one of the great weaknesses of American society these days, they just can't. They can't learn. They can't figure this stuff out. All right, look, good ranchers is fantastic. You know, Carrie and I are going to be home. Clay just asks you, do you have any plans coming up to travel? I said not really. We're kind of hunkering down here, trying to get the baby on a sleep schedule and not really going to restaurants because while my baby crying doesn't bother me at all, it is my baby communicating with me. I will choose not to have my crying baby sitting next to somebody at a very nice restaurant that they're paying a lot of money for on a Friday or Saturday night. I'm just saying, I'm just, I, I keep it real Anyway, that means we're cooking here at home. That means we've got good ranchers, my friends. Steaks, chicken, salmon, burgers, everything you need. It is absolutely delicious. My mother in law, she's gonna blush right now. She's an amazing cook and she's here helping us out as we kind of get our sea legs under us with the, with the new baby. She's making great. I, I opened the, I opened the fridge for the freezer for her. I said anything Good ranchers and they're just taken. You know, you set the menu. We are eating like kings because good ranchers is such top quality stuff. Tonight we're going to be having some beef. It's delicious. Good ranchers.com is where you go check out various boxes.

Travis and Buck Sexton.

Clay Travis
Mic drops that never sounded so good.
- [17:12]
Unknown Speaker 2
Find them on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back in Clay Travis, Buck Sexton show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we are rolling through the Tuesday edition of of the program. Bach, I know you enjoyed this. What do you think about beardgate all over the Internet I have continued to fight the good fight saying men shouldn't dye their beards. And Ryan Day at Ohio State. I think he dyes his beard. His wife came out, said that.
- [17:46]
Clay Travis
Who is he?
- [17:47]
Unknown Speaker 2
He's the head coach of Ohio State and they were at the White House yesterday celebrating their national title. J.D. vance fumbled the trophy which was very funny. It's a two part trophy and then later said he did it because he didn't want anybody else to end up with the national title trophy because he's an Ohio State grad, but you were like, kind of following this around along. And his wife.
- [18:10]
Clay Travis
His wife is not taking shots at our man Clay here for his scandalous accusation that her husband is dying his beard. Clay, let's just. Let's just put this out there. I mean, what. What is your level of certainty that there's beer dyeing going on with Ohio State's head coach and Ohio fans out there? And we are number one in a number of your cities in Ohio? I'm sorry. Clay's letting it rip. Now.
- [18:31]
Unknown Speaker 2
I think Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati were number one overall. Here is my statement. I obviously don't have firsthand knowledge other than my observational ability of his jet black beard, which appears to be darker every single time when he walks onto the field than it is during the week. So maybe he's throwing some shoe polish in. In the. In the locker room. I don't know any man in his mid-40s that does not have some gray in his beard. I don't. I mean, maybe some of you out there are like, I'm in my mid-40s and I have a beard. You got a little bit of gray there, Buck. For people on video, I've got a decent amount, and I haven't touched it up at all. I think that anybody in his mid-40s or above that has a midnight dark beard, I think they're. I think they're lying. I think they are engaging in. In, like, the steroids of beer coloring. There is some form you're accusing Ohio.
- [19:24]
Clay Travis
State's head coach of beard steroids.
- [19:26]
Unknown Speaker 2
Beard steroids. I think he's going with beard steroids. I think that there is some sort of. Of shenanigans going on there.
- [19:33]
Clay Travis
I like that. Feisty with you directly, though. That's hilarious.
- [19:36]
Unknown Speaker 2
Well, I appreciate the fact that she's willing to defend him on this. This is where she drew the line. She's like, you know, not beating Michigan, you can come after us. But Clay, I cannot allow you to attack. Whether or not he dies is beard, by the way, my wife, I don't think would defend me for anything online, so. So that's at least a strength for. For riot day. Since 9 11, the tunnel that's Ours foundation has been supporting America's greatest heroes and their families. Heroes who protect our communities and our country. Hero like firefighter James Dickman. He was passionate about fire safety, aspired to do everything in his power to keep his community and fellow firefighters safe while responding to an apartment fire. He was trapped inside and unable to escape. He perished right there cause of the fire arson. He left behind his loving wife Jamie and children Paige and Grant. They gave tunnel the towers did a mortgage free home day. Made $11 a month to funnel the towers@t2t.org that's t the number two t.org.
- [20:35]
Clay Travis
Welcome back into Clay and Buck. We want to rack and stack calls here. Talkbacks hear from all of you. We touch on some big topics, meaty topics today on the show and we love talking to all of you about it. I just want to know, Clay, I think you were out for this, so. Cause first of all, I have not forgotten. All right, I'm just going to say this on the air. I owe a few debts here. I owe Clay another steak dinner. I don't know if we're going to get like a whole dance number, but he did beat me in the NCAA bracket and so I will. I, he did. He smoked me. I was a little, I talked some trash to try to throw him off his game, but he won the NCAA bracket challenge against me. Okay, I owe our friend Jesse Kelly a dinner and we can cut this and send it to him. I owe him a dinner at Red Lobster where I am to be photoed putting the lobster bib on him as well as picking up his meal. Now, I don't know if Jesse's big time. He's, you know, getting, he's got a lot of stations, a lot of audience now 6 to 9 Eastern on Premier Networks. I don't know if he's too big time for Red Lobster now. But, you know, Jesse, maybe now, you know, you got to take off your top hat and your monocle to crack your lobster tail. I don't know if you, but I am willing to make good on my bet. So I just have to find a time when I'm either in Texas or he's in Florida. And I will take him out to Red Lobster as promised. But I had another promise, Clay, that I was reminded of recently. And you know, producer Mark worked with me on my show, which was, which was previously 6 and 9 on Premier Networks. Mark has been with me for years. And you know, he always, he's like, he was like my mom who made sure I did my homework. Like I did all the reads that I had to do and everything. I mean, he was always there. And I said, buddy, you know what? Because I made, I made some untoward remarks. I'm just going to, I made some untoward remarks about ice hockey. And producer Mark was like, how dare you. You will love it if I take you to, if we go to a game. And I said, all right, we're going to go to a game. And then Covid happened. I mean, this is like weeks before COVID Right. So it was maybe January of 2020 or December of 2020 or you know, December of 2019. So I never got to take him to the game. And I was reminded of this because the team, we started talking about hockey one day and so they are going to a Rangers game later this week. I mean, I can't go because I live in Florida now. But Mark Ali and, and producer Greg, three of our producers are going to arrangers game. So they will give us the full report afterwards because I made a promise on the air. I mean I can't not send producer Mark who loves, loves ice hockey. I mean I would talk smack about ice hockey just to get a rise out of him because it would, it would work every time. He loves his ice hockey. So producer Ali, producer Ali, have you gone to an ice hockey game before? Is this like a first for you or have you. It's a. For two clay.
- [23:14]
Unknown Speaker 2
You never been to it? You've, you've never been to an NHL game?
- [23:20]
Clay Travis
No.
- [23:21]
Unknown Speaker 2
She vanished. Like I don't know where she went. But that's staggering to me that you could live in New York City as producer Ali was as a single woman for many years. And Moby, who, who used to want to beat her still.
- [23:36]
Clay Travis
I'm pretty sure the, the, the Porcelain album is just about Moby's heartbreak from producer Ali turning him down. I don't know.
- [23:42]
Unknown Speaker 2
Totally. I mean, you made it. You made him famous. I'm. I know Moby's not the most masculine guy, but I can't believe he didn't try to sweep you off your feet by taking you to a Rangers game. Have you been to a Knicks game?
- [23:52]
Unknown Speaker 1
Yes, I've been to soccer. I've been to Mets, Yankees, baseball. That's it.
- [23:59]
Unknown Speaker 2
I would think Buck, you are a single guy in New York City is going to like a Yankees, a Mets and Knicks or Rangers game. Not a like go to dating activity. Like I would think that's a stronger.
- [24:10]
Clay Travis
It's a strong move. The problem is that, is that Knicks tickets are insanely super expensive. Yeah. You know, and even though the Knicks generally stink and have forever the worst, the worst operated managed major sports franchise, I would argue probably in, in America.
- [24:24]
Unknown Speaker 2
So what's the most you ever spent on a first date? First date. Not like somebody you're dating with. Did you ever, like, 300, $400 meal? Like, what. Like, what was the standard average cost and what was like, a high end? Like, I'm really going to try to blow it away here.
- [24:41]
Clay Travis
I. I try. I honestly, I try to do a drink first. I tried to kind of inspect what's going on before I would commit to commit to dinner. Some of you are going to say this is going to sound insane, and in parts of the country, you know, like, I was just in Tucson, and unless you're at the Four Seasons or something, I don't think you're going to spend $200 a dinner a whole lot of places, but that's pretty much for a dinner for two in New York City at, like, a date restaurant. Table steaks, 200 bucks.
- [25:04]
Unknown Speaker 2
Well, it's alcohol too, right? You're probably having at least wine or something like, with that.
- [25:09]
Clay Travis
But, I mean, you're not. You're not getting out of a restaurant. You know, when I was growing up, it was more like, you know, 100, 120. But now, table stakes, $200. So dating in New York is. Is. Is a very expensive problem.
- [25:19]
Unknown Speaker 2
Did any woman ever pay for you on a first date? Any cost?
- [25:25]
Clay Travis
I absolutely never allowed a woman to pay for or split a first date in my entire life, including dates where I thought about pulling the fire alarm. Like, actually, I was like, how do I get out of here?
- [25:39]
Unknown Speaker 2
Do you. Allie, have you ever paid for a first date?
- [25:43]
Unknown Speaker 1
Oh, sadly, yes, I have as a new.
- [25:46]
Unknown Speaker 2
So how did that happen? Did he say, like, hey, can we split? Or how did. How did you end up paying the old splitsaroo?
- [25:53]
Unknown Speaker 1
And I wish I could have pulled the fire alarm, too.
- [25:55]
Unknown Speaker 2
When you were dating the guy, were you like, this is in. This is over? He's made me pay for half the ticket on the first date.
- [26:01]
Unknown Speaker 1
Well, I think to your point, they want you to feel like you're this empowered New York woman.
- [26:06]
Clay Travis
Oh, man. Ali's been on some dates back in the day with some male feminists. We're glad you ended up with Gerard, who is a stunningly handsome man and an alpha male. Yeah, just. Just speaking truth here. He's kind of a maloogian. I mean, he's kind of a maloogen.
- [26:18]
Unknown Speaker 2
Very, very attractive man. I got to play this back for dark. Literally. Literally. Tall, dark, and handsome. I mean, you can legitimately say all three things.
- [26:26]
Clay Travis
All three of those things. Moby is. I don't think any of those things. I think Moby is the opposite.
- [26:34]
Unknown Speaker 2
Poor Moby. Yeah, short.
- [26:36]
Clay Travis
He's getting lit up here.
- [26:37]
Unknown Speaker 2
Super white. I don't even know that he can tan and not particularly good looking. Yeah, you've done well for yourself, Ali.
- [26:45]
Clay Travis
So let's get.
- [26:46]
Unknown Speaker 2
He should have taken her to a Rangers game. They might be together today.
- [26:49]
Clay Travis
Yeah. So I hope you guys have a great fun. We're going to hear. I want, I want to at least if producer Mark isn't in studio. Cause I know sometimes he's in studio, sometimes he's outside the studio. But let's get a talk back from him and, and you guys can weigh in about the Rangers game on it here, Producer Ali, your first Rangers game experience and producer Mark. Buddy, I made you a promise, keeping the promise. So I'm glad you're going to go see your Rangers and I hope they, I hope they beat whoever and I hope there are many of those, those sort of fights that they have on the ice where they throw the gloves down and it's very exciting. James from Hackensack on our talk back, this is C.C. let's go. Oh, on your baby. This is James from Hackensack, New Jersey. I noticed that you named your son James. That's a very good move, my friend. A very good move. All the best to you and your wife. Thank you. Thank you. He's James Speed Sexton. Speed is in fact my dad's middle name. And unlike me, he does drive very fast. So you can imagine this has led to some amusing conversations with state troopers in New York when they pull him over. So Speed is a family name, his mother's maiden name.
- [27:56]
Unknown Speaker 2
So that's Buck drives like a grandma. So this is. Maybe your son will get a little bit of the lead foot Gene.

Some of us like to call it safe driving Clay. Safe driving dd. Ken from Lincoln, Nebraska. He listens on kfab, a great heritage radio station out there. What's going on?
- [28:13]
F
Congratulations, Buck and Carrie. God bless you on your beautiful baby. Just Ken from Lincoln.
- [28:21]
Clay Travis
Thank you. That's very, that's very kind. We get a lot of all right here. We first of all, thank you all for the kind words about the baby thing. I think the one, I might have said this at the beginning of the show, but the one funny thing was I didn't really think about it because my wife had just been through, you know, it was a long labor. She was a champ. And as soon as I was holding this little bundle, my arms, I was like, can we have three more? And I realized, you know, a lot, lot easier for me to say. Right. Yeah, it's pretty easy for me to be like, let's just keep doing this. Like, let's keep this going. Let's keep this train rolling and carries. Like, can I, you know, recover a little bit more?
- [28:54]
Unknown Speaker 2
So I say that it is, it is pretty awesome. And I think that for anybody out there who's had a newborn, it's a lot of work. But when they start to start to reveal their personality, it just gets so much better and they start to smile at you and roll over and all of those process parts of raising a baby. I mean, it's just, you're just going to be ecstatic.

Clay Travis
This is, this is to what Clay was talking about with Laura before. Mm. Kelly in Palm Beach, Florida, listens on WJ. I know. Let's play it.

F
90 pairs of shoes. I've been married to my wife for a few months. I've been with her for over a year and when I first met her, she has a little over a thousand.
- [29:34]
Clay Travis
I do not get thousand pairs of shoes. Where do you keep. Do you have like a. A tractor trailer full of shoes in the backyard? Where do you keep a thousand pairs of shoes?
- [29:45]
Unknown Speaker 2
Ali asked, and I think it's a good question. What do men have that is way more prominent than, in other words, the sex? Right. Men would have it at 10x or 20x what women have that's inside of a house, like possessions. The only thing I could think of.
- [30:05]
Clay Travis
Tools.
- [30:05]
F
Tools.
- [30:06]
Unknown Speaker 2
Ok, tools is a good answer. I was going to go on the fashion front. T shirts. I don't ever want to throw away a T shirt. I bet I have 20x the number of T shirts of my wife going all the way Back to like 1990. Right.
- [30:21]
Clay Travis
Do you wear T shirts until they disintegrate? Because the most comfortable T shirts are the oldest. T shirts. Because I do. I. Unless the hole is visible from like 10ft away, that T shirt's good to.
- [30:30]
Unknown Speaker 2
Go and Laura gets rid of them. If I tried to get rid of any of her shoes, I think she would murder me. Like, she will get like, that T shirt's too old. I'm going to throw it out. If I just said, yeah, I don't really like those shoes. They've been around too long. And I threw it away. I think she would strangle me to death while I was sleeping. I'm not even kidding. I think if I tried to get rid of any of her shoes. Now, to be fair, she keeps shoes for a really long time. But the amount of women fascination with shoes and I never really thought about it. It actually came up on Fox and Friends over the weekend. Our friend Shannon Bream was talking about the number of pairs of shoes she had, and Shannon made a comment that I never really thought about before. She said, unlike other clothes, where you can weigh different amounts, like, pretty much once you're an adult, you wear the same size shoe for. For the rest of your life. So you would have to have a major weight gain in order to not be able to put on a shoe. I never really thought about it before, but that actually makes some sense. And I was. I was blown away because we're in the process, like I said, of moving into a new house, and I was blown away when I walked into the bathroom and just saw all my wife's shoes arrayed there. But the number of women who've said, oh, I've got more than that, or, you know, for a woman around middle age, like, my wife is like that. You've been. Other words, you're not 16 or 18 years old, so you've had time to kind of collect shoes for a long time. I don't know that there's anything like it at all.
- [31:59]
Clay Travis
G.G. lloyd from New Braunfels, Texas, listens on W O A I. What's going on? Let's play it.
- [32:06]
F
Congratulations, Buck. I want to let you know that it takes a little bit of time before the mother forgets what it was like in labor and all the days approaching labor in about six to eight months. So don't talk about it till then.
- [32:25]
Clay Travis
What do you think, Clay? Good advice.
- [32:28]
Unknown Speaker 2
Your decision on to have and when baby number two is not going to be your decision. There's nothing that, like, I wouldn't even bring it up. Women control the baby process. Once you've got two, if you're like, I convinced my wife to have a third, I think she will. She'll be excited, and I think she'll come to you. I wouldn't even worry about it. Yeah, that would be my advice.
- [32:53]
Clay Travis
Greg, in Columbus, Ohio. We're talking about Columbus, where we're number one. What's going on, Greg?
- [33:02]
F
Not my own, but I got.
- [33:04]
Clay Travis
Yeah, you're on.
- [33:07]
F
Yeah, I, you know, I. I almost got to talk to Rush when I was up in Grand Rapids 30 years ago, and I came, like, within a second. Got to see G. Gordon at G. Gordon, Lydia at Studio 28 up there, though. But, yeah, okay. These nephews, and they just think, you know, whenever I'm around, it's like, uncle. Uncle Gray, and, you know, all that stuff. So I'll Let. I'll let my brother do all the work, and I'll. I'll participate in the joy. But congrats anyways.
- [33:39]
Clay Travis
Thank you so much.
- [33:40]
Unknown Speaker 2
Okay, this is where producer Greg is, like, pulling his hair out because he's like, these people are amazing on the off air. And then you get them up and they just panic and they go in, like, 20 different directions and. And you don't know where you're going. But they ended with congrats, which was a good conclusion. Yeah.
- [33:57]
Clay Travis
I would say that being an uncle, which I was before I was a dad, it's a great kind of. It's like a great gateway to the dad thing because you get to spend time around the little person whose family. Like my sis. This is my sister's boy, who is super cute. And during COVID I live very close to them a couple blocks away, so I could go over and spend time and visit. And I was really around for a lot of his first two years. I mean, I would see him weekly for his first two years. And, you know, it's just. It's just great, man. I don't know. It's the whole thing. I mean, now I go downstairs and I'll go see my wife, my baby, and my puppy, and life is good, Clay. You know, you're a family man. It's just fantastic.
- [34:39]
Unknown Speaker 2
It is fabulous. And I mean, again, have more kids. The world truly does depend on it. So we need more kids. Well, raised to grow up. You got a boy now. Especially young men growing up to be heads of households and help to raise other strong men and women. Be involved in your family. You're going to love it. I know a lot of the dads and granddads out there have been through what you're going through right now. It's head spinning, but it's pretty fabulous.
- [35:07]
Clay Travis
Edward in Tennessee. One more before we go into break here. What have you got for us, Edward? Not a lot, apparently. What's going on?
- [35:19]
Unknown Speaker 2
I'm going to start keeping tally. There he is.
- [35:25]
F
Are you there?
- [35:26]
Clay Travis
Yeah. You're on a radio show, so you got to say something or else we're going to have to go to break. Go ahead.
- [35:30]
F
Yeah, I just want to say congrats on the baby. And I wanted to say that my middle name is Speed. It was my grandmother's maiden name, and they wanted to keep it in the family.
- [35:40]
Unknown Speaker 2
Your relatively.
- [35:41]
Clay Travis
It's my. Yeah, we might be related, my friend. It's my grandmother's maiden name. And that side of the family has roots in Kentucky.
- [35:50]
F
Because, well, I think my grandmother has roots in Ohio.
- [35:55]
Clay Travis
Well, it's not far.
- [35:57]
F
She actually was living in Mississippi when she married my grandfather.
- [36:03]
Clay Travis
All right, well, we'll do the family tree off air here. Maybe we're a second cousins or something. But thank you for calling in with that. But yes, Speed is a family name. We're going to call a little boy Speed, I think is actually the way we're setting this thing up. But James, if he wants to just have like a normal name, you know what I mean? So that's why it's for. It's like you, you're. We're both middle name as. As name people. But our first names are, you know, we're so different.
- [36:23]
Unknown Speaker 2
I was named after my two grandfathers. My mom liked Richard Clay better than Clay Richard. I will say Speed better not be the slowest kid on the team. Like, you don't want to create that.
- [36:34]
Clay Travis
Yes, we need, we need to be quick. But I mean the, like the Richard Travis show, it sounds like, I don't know, it sounds like you're selling timeshare somewhere. I like play Travis show.
- [36:41]
Unknown Speaker 2
Could be worse. Could be the Dick Travis show. And then maybe people would say it was a totally different kind of show.
- [36:47]

Up with the biggest political comeback in world history. On the Team 47 podcast. Clay and Buck highlight Trump replacement place from the week, Sundays at noon eastern. Find it on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back in Tax Day. We'll have some more big discussions about Bucks Bundle of Joy tomorrow. But I did like this. This is from Greg. He has a great account. Funny long numbers on Twitter. Irs. You owe us taxes. Okay, how much do I owe irs? You get to figure that out. Can I just pay what I want? No. We know exactly how much you owe, but you have to figure it out. What if I'm wrong? You go to jail. Happy Tax day for everybody out there. It's absurd. It's ridiculous. It's how we do things.
