Clay Travis
Welcome in our number three Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. We appreciate all of you hanging out with us all over the nation. We hope all of you had fabulous Mother's Day and made sure that you thanked all the mothers in your life, both mothers of your children as well as your own mothers. And we bring in a new part of the Clay and Buck Podcast network. We are super excited to bring her in. She is a mother as well as an expert on many different fields fields of medicine. Dr. Nicole Safire New podcast is going to be called Wellness Unmasked. It's in the Clay and Buck Podcast Network. It will debut tomorrow and we'll get into that in a sec. But I believe you have two boys if I'm not mistaken. Dr. Sapphire, how was your Mother's Day? Did you do anything fun?
- [02:21]
Dr. Nicole Sapphire
Hey guys, thanks so much for having me on. I actually have three boys.
- [02:26]
Clay Travis
Three with by me.
- [02:28]
Dr. Nicole Sapphire
Then you throw in the husband and the dogs. I have a lot more boys.
- [02:32]
Clay Travis
Who takes more? My wife says that I take more mothering and taking care of in terms of difficulty than the boys do. I don't know if that's true or not, but is your husband more of a challenge or the three boys.
- [02:44]
Dr. Nicole Sapphire
You know what? I think they all have their equal parts difficult days and good days, but everybody contributes, and I love it. This was a perfect weekend, Mother's Day weekend. We had phenomenal weather in the Northeast, which is a shock because we have had pretty bad weather for what feels like months. And so we were essentially outside all day, every day, Saturday and Sunday, and it was glorious, no doubt.
- [03:07]
Clay Travis
Okay, tell us about the podcast, which we're super excited to have off and running.
- [03:11]
Dr. Nicole Sapphire
Well, I am beyond thrilled to announce Wellness on Mass. It's part of your network. We are going to be talking all things health and wellness. You know, people say some people don't like to talk politics, some people don't like to talk sports. But I can tell you, everyone at some point in their life cares about their health. And there's so much information coming out of us out of everywhere. You don't know what's true, what's not true. I mean, we all really learned that during COVID I mean, follow the science, listen to the experts. Well, it turned out they were wrong in a lot of things. And I am known for kind of looking at the science myself, reading the data myself, and giving an honest opinion, an honest, unfiltered opinion. And I want to continue to do that. Whether we're talking about cold plunges or we're talking about the latest research, when it comes to the foods that we're eating and potential disease, I mean, all you. You have to do is turn on the radio, turn on the TV these days and you see RFK Jr. Or someone else. Help is a huge topic these days, and it is important that we sift through it all and we kind of break it down so it's no nonsense.
- [04:15]
Nick Adams
Dr. Safire, thanks for being with us and welcome to the Podcast network. What is your reaction when you see this, this big move from Trump over the weekend and more details on it today on prescription drug prices? Because again, for those of us not actually prescribing and not having to know the names of the drugs and what they do and operating in that world, it just seems pretty straightforward that it's. There's something wrong with, as Trump says, the fat shot, quote, unquote. But drugs costing a whole lot more here than they do in a lot of other countries, including very wealthy countries.
- [04:51]
Dr. Nicole Sapphire
Yeah. So anybody who has been following President Trump since his first term knows that he has been focused on reducing the cost of prescriptions here in the United States. I mean, in 2024 alone, Americans spent $98 billion out of pocket on prescription drugs. That's 25% increase in just the last five years. During his first term, he went the old fashioned route and he went through legislation and he tried to pass bills to reduce drug costs. Well, what happened? Well, Big Pharma, the lobbyists, they all pushed back. And a lot of the changes that he tried to make, the Biden administration did not continue. And so here we are again in the first few months of his administration, and he is going hard after these drug companies. And it's going to be unpopular because drug companies are one of the biggest lobby powerhouses. They spend a lot on campaigns. So a lot of your politicians out there get money from drug companies. But what President Trump is doing, which is different than what Biden was doing, so people will say, well, President Biden was also working on lowering drugs prices. And that is true, he was, but he was specifically just doing a few select drugs specifically for those who are on Medicare. So people who are 65 and older, what President Trump is saying is we want to make sure that Medicare is able to negotiate with these drug companies, but we also want to expand that to Medicaid as well as the private insurance companies, because why should just the elderly have, have more affordable drug prices? What about everybody else? And so that is why this is a very big executive order, what he's saying. We have 30 days to come to the table. Drug companies. You're going to negotiate with RFK Jr. The Secretary of Health and Human Services, and you are going to figure out how we can lower the cost of prescription medications here in the United States. Now you think that people are going to come out and criticize this? I mean, I think people would look pretty bad criticizing the idea of wanting to decrease pharmaceutical costs to Americans. That'll make them look bad. But these are really big goals. And so we want to make sure that it's not all talk and that they are able to follow through with this. And so it will take a lot of negotiations, but there's going to be a lot of legal hangups, especially when it comes to the pharmaceutical industry. They're going to tie this up in the legal system, uncertain of it.
- [07:16]
Clay Travis
Nicole, Dr. Safire, Dr. Nicole Safire with us right now. How would you assess, from a doctor perspective, the start of the RFK Jr. Tenure? Because it's been very controversial. I know we've got a new Surgeon General nominee potentially coming. How would you assess what doctor, what RFK Jr. Is focused on and doctor means, I think, who has now been potentially elevated as the next Surgeon General. How well do you think he has done? What do you think he could do better?
- [07:52]
Dr. Nicole Sapphire
I think that the impetus between the Make America healthy again movement, RFQ Jr. And everything that they're focusing on right now is all everything that the United States needs. We need to be looking at our chronic illness epidemic. I've been talking about this pre Covid. During COVID we saw Americans were not doing well once they got infected with COVID because we had such an overweight population, because we have so much chronic illness. And so that rendered us vulnerable. And so to actually look at that and not just say, well, let's just create more medications to treat the illness, but let's figure out why we've gotten this looking at what's in our food supply specifically. We hear RFQ Jr say all the time, he's talking about seed oils. Well, if you actually look at seed oils, there's good data, including a new study that just came out of Cornell, linking linoleic acid, which is in one of the seed oils, directly to cancer formation. How do we have these in our food here in the United States, but they're not allowed in food elsewhere throughout the world. So I do applaud them at looking at some of these things and really looking at the root cause of our illness and not just focusing on expanding access to treatment. You want to have both there. The, I guess we could call it drama surrounding the Surgeon General nominee pick, it certainly has been played out online, and I actually did respond to it myself. I put out a video because I was getting a million text messages, phone calls, people stopping me in the hospital, asking me what my opinion was. And when it comes to a surgeon general pick, I think they need to fit three boxes. The first box, they have to be aligned with the Make America Great Again movement and President Trump. That means that this person needed to speak out during COVID some way or the other. They had to either speak out to say we should be trying everything in terms of treating this illness when we don't have known treatments, whether it was hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin. They needed to speak out when it was clear natural immunity and the vaccine induced immunity were having similar effects. And when they started pushing the mandates and vaccinations for kids, they needed to speak out and say, let's pump the brakes for a second and see if there is really a risk benefit ratio there. That would indicate these kids should be vaccinated against Covid. If they didn't do that, if they weren't a part of any of that, then they don't fit that first box. The second box is to Make America Healthy Again. It doesn't necessarily mean that they have to be aligned or have worked with RFK Jr. In the past, but they have to have been speaking about chronic illness and prevention as well as some more natural ways to prevent illness. And they can't just be doing it right now because it's trendy. They have to have been doing it before. And now the last one, and this is what I find very important. Our healthcare system, our medical industry, public health, we're all completely fractured since COVID because we've lost a lot of trust, and rightfully so. And so we need to unify our medical professionals, and we also need to unify patients across the United States. And so we need someone who is respected enough and the industry that physicians are going to look to them because the Surgeon General is essentially a public figure where they are going to be espousing the Make America Great Again and the Make America Healthy Again talking points. But if they don't have the respect of their peers, then no one's going to listen to them. And that message is not going to get very far, and it's certainly not going to last beyond an administration. My biggest concern about the current nominee, Dr. Casey Means, is while she may be very intelligent and she's very well spoken, she didn't even feel finish medical school. So therefore she's never actually. I'm sorry, she finished medical school. She didn't finish her medical training, her residency training. And so because she didn't finish her training, she's never been an actively practicing physician. She doesn't fit that first box of the Make America Grady again, because she wasn't seeing patients, she wasn't treating patients, and she didn't necessarily speak out against Covid during that time. She absolutely is aligned with Make America Healthy Again. She is. I believe she and RFK Jr are actually very close. And she doesn't necessarily fit that third box in the sense that a lot of medical professionals are not going to look to someone who never even completed their medical training to lead them. So those are my big concerns. I think we need to be unifying right now, and I'm not sure this is the way to go.
- [12:05]
Nick Adams
Dr. Nicole Safire with us now. She's launching a podcast tomorrow here on the Clean Block Network, wellness unmasked. And Dr. Safire if I could for a moment. Sorry. I'm now turning into the guy at the cocktail party who's like, you know, my elbow kind of hurts. What do you think it could be? I wanted to do a quick. I'm sure you get that right. Like, hey, doc, what's wrong with my eye? You know? But quick lightning round. A couple of things I just want to throw out to you, and you can just. Saunas important. Good. Yay or nay? Where are we on saunas?
- [12:35]
Dr. Nicole Sapphire
So I love saunas. I especially like infrared saunas. I literally have. It looks like a sleeping bag in my house that I lay myself in and I put my body in because he tea is really good for chronic inflammation and pain, and it's a really good way to detoxify your body. It also can help you increase your metabolism. It can help you sleep if you use it in the evening time. I'm a huge fan of saunas. Okay, so good, because, yes, you can.
- [13:01]
Nick Adams
They're everywhere here in South Florida now. So I'm always kind of wondering, cold plunge. Is it really going to turn me into, you know, the best version of myself if I jump into cold water?
- [13:12]
Dr. Nicole Sapphire
All right, I can tell you that I have not jumped on the cold plunge bandwagon the way that you should from a scientific standpoint. Absolutely. By doing that, it does have health benefits. It decreases inflammation, and it stimulates your cardiovascular system. I hate being cold, personally, which is bizarre that I live in the Northeast, so I'll go sit in a sauna any day. But don't talk to me about cold plunging.
- [13:35]
Nick Adams
Clay, do you have a lightning round, or are you good?
- [13:37]
Clay Travis
Well, no, I was just gonna say I convinced Buck. I love the cold plunge. Now, when we were in Miami, we jumped in. I mean, but I don't know how cold you need to go. And I have my family in the cold plunge with me.
- [13:48]
Nick Adams
My wife, we were at the gym, and Clay went into the coldest plunge, which I think is like 45 degrees or something. And I was like, clay, you do you. Man, I can't. I can't do that.
- [13:57]
Dr. Nicole Sapphire
Hey, listen, there are health benefits to it, and, you know, it's trendy. I do hate to join in on the trends, but, yeah, no, I can get behind the health benefits of it, but for me, I think there are other ways to decrease that inflammation and stimulate the body without being freezing cold.
- [14:13]
Nick Adams
So if you guys listen to Dr. Safire's podcast, Wellness Unmasked, you'll get all kinds of great health advice and tips as well as know what's going on in the world of health medicine policy, all the rest. So, Dr. Safire, honored to have you with us. Thank you so much. And we'll be talking to you again soon.
- [14:28]
Dr. Nicole Sapphire
Thanks for having me, guys.
- [14:30]
Clay Travis
That's the Dr. Nicole Safire, now a part of the Clay and Podcast Network.
- [14:34]
Nick Adams
Which is kind of a madman in that cold plunge like you stayed in. I'll be honest with you. I would have bet against you staying in the cold plunge as long as you did. You know, they have this stuff now at some of these gyms in Florida where you go the cold plunge and they got the sauna and they got all these things. And I was. I was a little bit impressed. I was totally wimping out on that one.
- [14:51]
Clay Travis
You know what's funny is if you tell me somebody else has done it, then I immediately know that I can do it. I. We were in Strawberry. Strawberry Springs or something like that out in Steamboat Springs, and somebody. My. My wife was like, well, Joe Rogan does this for like five minutes at a time. Because I was only doing like two minutes. And I was like, joe Rogan does it five. I could do five minutes in this. And then I stayed in for five minutes. I think I could do pretty well in the cold plunge. And we're now adding a cold plunge, the new house, because the boys were, like, super interested in it. So I love it. I'm glad. Dr. Sapphire's got to get on, get with the ball. Not just the sauna. You got to go sauna, cold plunge, back and forth. Look, Israel, special place. I was over in December. It's one of the most incredible trips I have ever taken. I felt incredibly fortunate to be able to spend a week there, going all the way to the north, near Lebanon, all by the. All alongside the Gaza Strip. We went all over the place, and I saw firsthand the work that the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews does. They help to protect people in danger. They build bomb shelters. They help to put together food packs. We worked to help get different food packs out for those in need. They do incredible work. And for just 25 bucks, you can provide a food box. We help to seal these food boxes. We help to create them. I think there's videos up of us doing this. For $335, you can provide someone with hot meals for an entire year. Incredible, the work that they do. To check it out, go to ifcj.org that's ifcj.org you can also find the information at Clay and Buck on our sponsor page. You can also call them 888-488-IFCJ. That's 888-488-4325 ifcj.org go today.

- [18:15]
Clay Travis
No.

Leon Nayfak
It became known as the Iran Contra affair.

In just a second I'm going to ask.
- [18:24]
Leon Nayfak
I'm Leon Nayfak, co creator of Slow Burn. In my podcast Iran Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today.

Nick Adams
All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck. We got our friend Nick Adams joining here in a couple of minutes. The Is he the most MAGA Australian of all?
- [19:10]
Clay Travis
I think he would argue he is near the top of the Australian MAGA power rankings for sure.
- [19:17]
Nick Adams
Yeah, so. So he'll be with us. Talk about Trump's amazing comeback, his new book. We got a bunch of talkbacks we love the talkbacks. And here. Well, we'll do this one. B.B. first up here, listener June Clay and.
- [19:29]
Dr. Nicole Sapphire
Buck love you guys. Love the show. Buck, you crack me up with your impersonations. I can't tell if I like your Fauci, Newsom or Bernie better, but you rock them all. Keep it up.
- [19:41]
Nick Adams
Thank you very much. I appreciate that. We have some fun. We have some fun with that one.
- [19:45]
Clay Travis
I think Foushee is still my favorite, but Newsome as the evil Keanu Reeves is more relevant, probably because Fauci's just kind of vanished. I don't remember the last time I really saw foul.
- [19:57]
Nick Adams
With Newsom. We've created a whole visual image of you two guys drinking chardonnay, you know, at French Laundry together. Fancy guys. Because you're always like, I mean, he's kind of. He's kind of slick. He's kind of handsome. You know?
- [20:10]
Clay Travis
I mean, Newsom is a handsome man. I'm a bit disappointed that we invited him on. The show has blown us off. I'm happy to go have a nice chardonnay with him, sit down and just talk about, you know, things.
- [20:22]
Nick Adams
And maybe you could get him to stop ruining California. You would actually be able to do a great service like, hey, Gavin, stop ruining a great. I love California, great state.
- [20:31]
Clay Travis
Newsom needs to go full Costanza and just do the opposite of everything that he's been trying to do for. I think he could get California back up and rolling pretty quick. I think we got another listener, cc yeah.
- [20:43]
Nick Adams
Yep.
- [20:43]
Clay Travis
After Rush passed away and a certain someone got elected to be president and sort of went away from talk radio for a bit. But I don't. I can't say you guys have replaced Rush because I don't think anybody could replace Rush, but you've made your own space. That's on par with the quality. Well, that's an incredible endorsement. That's Jeff, a podcast listener who weighed in there, and, you know, we don't take for granted that we get to talk to you guys every single day.
- [21:19]
Nick Adams
He never replaced. We don't think we agree with him. We don't think anyone can replace Russia. No one could or should or has. But we try to continue to fight for his audience day in and day out.
- [21:31]
Clay Travis
That's exactly right. That's the goal.
- [21:33]
Nick Adams

- [22:32]
Clay Travis
That'S rushtax resolution.com Australia's manliest man, at least that supports Donald Trump. Crocodile Hunter's dead. I think it may be you is with us now. Nick Adams got a brand new book out. We'll ask him about that. Who would you say, as an Australian, is the manliest man in Australia right now? Because I think it might have been the Crocodile Hunter back in the day. Right, Steve Irwin. But who would you say is the manliest man in Australia now? Is that a title that you would be happy to aspire to?
- [23:03]
Buck Sexton
Well, Clay, look, it certainly was me up until 2016, given that I am now an American. I really don't.
- [23:12]
Clay Travis
You had to relinquish the title of manliest man in Australia to become an American?
- [23:15]
Buck Sexton
I did. I did, actually. And even though I relinquished the title, it was still an upgrade, Clay. So I believe I'm firmly in contention for the manliest man in America now, too. Up there with you, of course, and our good friend Buck. But it's, it's a tight competition, but I hopefully will pip you boys at the post.
- [23:36]
Nick Adams
Nick, appreciate you being here with us from Mar a Lago to Mars, President Trump's great American comeback. What. What are you telling everybody about in. In the book that they need to hear? What. What is the. I mean, we. I think we have a sense of where it's going because of what the title is. But what for you is the most. The most salient points about what Clay and I have turned that I'm sure you'd agree. The greatest political comeback in history.
- [24:01]
Buck Sexton
Definitely the greatest political comeback in history. Look, Buck, the reality is I've written a few books, but this is the first book I've written that is as much a self help book as it is a political and historic Americana book. This is a book that really provides a manual for people to win on the battlefield that we call life. All based on what we saw President Trump do over the last three to four years, how he managed to not just survive, but thrive despite the unparalleled adversity that he was subjected to. I mean, let's just think about it. He was censored, he was deplatformed, they tried to bankrupt him, they impeached him, twice arrested, sued, indicted, they tried to kill him twice that we know of. This is a man that had so much thrown at him, and yet he never ever once compromised even an inch, never retreated, never, ever went back on anything that he said, even though it would have been much more expedient, much easier for him to do so. He's never stopped fighting for the American people, for the people that have been forgotten and abandoned by America's political elite. And there is a Donald Trump, I think, in all of us. And that's what I wanted to capture in From Mar a Lago to Mars, the President, President Trump's Great American Comeback. I wanted to really get people to understand that you too can get through life if you apply the principles that Donald Trump has of being able to turn every setback into a setup for a comeback, through positive thinking, through just never, ever giving up. And I think that there are so many things that we can learn from Donald Trump.
- [25:56]
Clay Travis
Nick, why do you think white, black, Asian, Hispanic, young men are breaking towards Trump in such a degree? Certainly we saw this in the 2024 election. You spend a lot of time talking to younger guys through social media. What do you think is attracting them to Trump? And why do you think we're seeing this cultural shift that's so prominent not only among young, you know, white, black, Asian, Hispanic men, but also among athletes where supporting Trump has become cool in a way that it was not in Trump 1.0 clay.
- [26:30]
Buck Sexton
He's the ultimate man's man. He doesn't apologize. He is authentic. He is bold. He has what I like to coin testicular fortitude, a term that you and I have very, very familiar with. And young men relate to that. Young men love that. And those that can't relate to it aspire to have it and are attracted to it. So that's the reason that I think young men turned out in record numbers last year in 2024, to bring President Trump back to the White House, because they saw someone that that reminded them of what men used to be and of what a man can still be if they're prepared to never take a backward step to own who they are, to be unapologetically them. That's what's so incredible about Donald Trump. No matter where he goes, CLAY it doesn't matter if he's speaking in a rural area in the Midwest. He doesn't put on a pair of jeans and a flannel shirt and a cowboy hat. He's always wearing that same distinctive dark blue suit with the solid tie. He doesn't change his accent like Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama and Barack Obama and all of those other fake phony Democrats. He's always got that same distinctive queen's accent. And there is nothing more masculine about somebody that just is who they are and couldn't care less whether you like it or not. And if you don't like it, they're more than prepared to tell you to go and pound sand or jump in the lake.

Nick Adams
So I wanted to have you react, Nick, to this Bill Maher clip that got a lot of attention over the weekend. It has to do with the status of the Democrat Party and men and masculinity and just the way the Democrats have completely devolved into a party of emotionally destabilized wackos. Here is he's still a Democrat, but not as crazy as some of them. Bill maher, this is cut 24. Play it.
- [28:39]

If the thought leaders in the Democratic Party keep encouraging and not rebuking the idea that America is cringe and the people who run Gaza are great, the Democrats are doomed. Alyssa Slotkin's right. Liberals are weak and woke, especially the white ones. And they enjoy indulge all sorts of nonsense from their kids. A pattern that then continues on in the Democratic Party. Last election it was all the gender stuff, the insistence that men can have babies and such. And now I fear that we like the terrorists is the new that liberals need to push back on the dumb ideas that come from their children. The Democrats problem is the energy of the party is with the young and the young are with the terrorists. That's not good.

Nick Adams
I don't think, Nick the Democrats are actually pushing back on this stuff, though. I think that they're just hoping they can sell it better the next time around.

Buck Sexton
The Democrats buck have become the party of criminals, illegal aliens and perversion. That's really pretty much all they stand for. And for as long as they stand for that, they're not going to have any kind of electoral Success. And Donald Trump really is now owning so many issues that used to be the domain of the left of the Democrats. And it's, it's a wonderful thing to see. The Democrats have completely lost their way. Donald Trump broke them. And it's something that I point out in, in my book From Mar a Lago to Mars, he broke them. Now to a point where you look, politics is cyclical. Democrats, of course, are going to recover in some form, but for a while now, they are really going to struggle to get out under the. The entire mess that they have built for themselves.

Clay Travis
Nick? Yeah. I know you're an American citizen now, but there are a lot of people out there in Australia, there are a lot of people in England, there are a lot of people who don't feel seen in these countries. And certainly all over Europe, we've seen it as well. How important do you think, as somebody who is from a different country but now lives here, that America's position and Donald Trump's particular positions are not just significant for the United States, but also, frankly, for all of Western civilization.
- [30:58]
Buck Sexton
Look, if the world is a spider web, Clay, America is right in the center of it and any kind of movement and the entire web shakes. I think there was someone famous that once said that if America gets a coffee, if the world catches a cold, and that still remains the case, it is very important that people in Australia and England and Canada and all across the world, even in the non English speaking countries, they see the strength and the courage and the devotion that Donald Trump has, and they hope for it in their own leadership. Because here in America, we know what weak and stupid leaders are. I mean, we got used to it and now we have a president like President Trump who's tough and smart, the absolute antithesis. And as a result, America is winning. I mean, look at President Trump's undefeated season. It's incredible what's going on in the country right now. It's like waking up every morning and it's Christmas. And I know that there are people in other countries that may not have the freedoms that America does. They don't have a First Amendment, they don't have a Second Amendment at all. And these people are hoping to get a leader that has the courage and has the strength and has the wisdom and has the willingness to sacrifice, which is really what is just so remarkable about Donald Trump. He's just so willing to sacrifice everything for what he believes in. And that's why I think about American history, Clay and Bakken. America is so lucky compared to other countries. We had General Washington at the start of our country. We had President Lincoln at the rebirth of our country. And now we have President Trump at the rejuvenation of our country on the eve of the 250th anniversary, a time when most historians will tell you great superpowers are really in survival mode. And I think it's a wonderful thing. He is a once in a century, at bare minimum type of leader. I'm proud to have supported him from 16 June 2015 when he came down the escalator. I've been with him from day one. This is a, this is a very, very special guy. I've been very blessed. Talk about an immigration story. I mean, for me to come over here and at the age of 32, to be on Air Force One, being appointed to the president to different boards, to have a personal relationship with him. I was just in the Oval Office with him last month. You know, he, he is somebody that we will be studying for centuries to come. And that's why I wrote this book. From Mar a Lago to Mars, President Trump's Great American Comeback.

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency.

Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?

Clay Travis
No.

It became known as the Iran Contra affair.

Nick Adams
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you. Please do.

- [37:35]
Dr. Nicole Sapphire
Hey guys, the show today is so important and substantive about South Africa and other issues. I'm just, I'm just asking, is there any chance that we could mix in just a little bit of an update about Clay swimming from Alcatraz by chance that was so fun the other day. Just, just to have a light moment if there's time.
- [38:01]
Buck Sexton
Thanks.
- [38:02]
Nick Adams
Well, Pam, there's always time for a light moment. I'll just say this. Clay and I are working this out where we're gonna have to. I think it's probably gonna be tunnels of towers. We'll have to find a charity that Clay can do the swim for. And then I will go in one of those little launch boats alongside. I'll be wearing, like, a nice, you know, like a fleece with a hat, drinking hot cocoa or some Crockett coffee, drinking some hot beverage and shouting at Clay, faster, Don't give up. You know, so, because I'm a team.
- [38:29]
Clay Travis
Player, Clay, I want to know how long I can stay in the water on average, without getting hypothermia, because I'm just going to stick to this. I'm not going to drown if I'm in the water eventually. If you have stood on Alcatraz and looked ahead of you at San Francisco Bay, I'm not telling you that I'm going to land at a particular location. I'm not saying, hey, I'm going to hit Pier 32. I am saying, I will not drown. And at some point, I will reach land. And I don't know why people are so shocked by this.
- [39:04]
Nick Adams
So you might just kind of, like, roll onto land with a wave and then, like, spit up a bunch of water. You know what I mean? In the movies, when you. When you survive, when you're the one guy who survives the shipwreck to move the plot forward, that will be you.
- [39:18]
Clay Travis
That'll be me. It'll be just like Castaway, and. And. Except I will not stay on an island for a long time like Tom Hanks. I will say if I start to get swept out to sea, I will acknowledge if I. I. I do not want to. Let me just be clear. I do not want to get swept out to sea. I don't want to find myself hanging to the support structure of Golden Golden Gate Bridge or the Bay Bridge. I'm not sure which way the tides take you, whether they take you towards the Bay Bridge or the Golden State. So I will get rescued at some point if I start to go out to sea, because that's not ideal. But in the bay, which is like a big tub, I think, meaning, like, the water just kind of sloshes around all over the place. I think I'll make it, and I don't. I think I'll be fine. Now, somebody asked a question I hadn't really thought about, and I hope it doesn't get in my head. They were like, well, you know, a lot of people cramp. I. I've never cramped. Have you ever cramped while swimming?
- [40:12]
Nick Adams
People always say this. Why you couldn't go swimming afterwards, even in a pool. Like, you might.
- [40:16]
Clay Travis
That's what I'm saying.
- [40:17]
Nick Adams
But I'm like, if I have a hot dog and then I drown, like, isn't that on me? I mean, how hard is this?
- [40:23]
Clay Travis
I think it was just. I think that's an old wives tale designed to get moms and dads from having to get in the pool. Like, you ate everybody. This in the 1980s. I don't know if they still say it now. You just ate. You'll cramp up. You can't get in the pool. I've never cramped. Have you ever cramped while swimming?
- [40:39]
Nick Adams
No. But now again, we probably. We haven't swam very hard. I think it's the real. We've done a lot of.
- [40:45]
Clay Travis
Well, that's a good point.
- [40:45]
Nick Adams
Let's be honest, you and me, more floating than swimming. More float.
- [40:49]
Clay Travis
Well, I think I'd be able to take breaks and float as necessary. What I'm telling you is I will not drown. And as long as I don't die of hypothermia, eventually, I will find. Sure. I really think that I will now. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe this is the dumbest. Look, I've made a lot of dumb arguments over the years. Maybe this is in fact the dumbest argument I ever made. But I'm telling you, I will make it to land. I will. I will be a savior.
- [41:14]
Nick Adams
I think. I think Riley Gaines should be your guide, sort of. She gets in the water with you to make sure you don't drown. I wait on shore with hot cocoa and warm cookies for both of you, cheering you from afar.
- [41:26]
Clay Travis
Riley is such a good swimmer, I think that she would be troubled to even keep up with me. Bad Made in America means something to us.
