Buck Sexton
Wondering out there if we have any, any experts in, in like child rearing. Not just being a parent, although I guess that makes you an expert in child rearing. But you know, actual like you do this for a living kind of a thing. Sleep training babies, yay or nay. I gotta tell you Clay, this is a little bit like googling. Is whole milk good for you as an adult? You will get people that say it is absolutely unnecessary, fatty, high in sugar and other people are like it's a superfood. So honey, I'm just, I'm putting it out. We're using the brain trust here online. We have vast knowledge in this esteemed audience and I'm just wondering, sleep training for somebody who is 9 or 10 months old. Yay or nay? Because we stand on the precipice of this decision. There we go.
- [03:42]
Clay Travis
I my answer on this and everybody's going to be super opinionated. My answer on this is every kid is different. And so for some kids, like a certain type of sleep training works flawlessly. For others it does not. Our oldest was a maniac, our second and third were cakewalks. And I think that's entirely based on the kids dispositions. You can treat them the exact same. And this is my take and I'm sure the baby sleep community is going to be fired up. Some people are going to agree, some people are going to disagree. This is one of you stepped into a hornet's nest on this, my friend.
- [04:23]
Buck Sexton
Well, but I don't have it. I'm asking for help. I don't have an opinion. I want to know.
- [04:26]
Clay Travis
I'm telling you, you're going to get a billion opinions with everybody convinced that their way, the right way that I think is predicated almost entirely on what worked for their kid as opposed to the fact that every kid's a little bit different. But that's my take. The moms of America can fire. I hope I don't lose the grandma support. W o r listener. He's reacting to Buck not knowing Madden Summerall. Let's listen.
- [04:50]
Caller/Listener
Oh My God. When I heard about Buck's lack of knowledge of who Clay Summerall was, I almost met Clay's worst way to die. I almost choked to death on my chicken wing.
- [05:04]
Clay Travis
We don't want you to die reacting to Buck's lack of sports knowledge. Pat Summerall, by the way, doesn't have the same name. Clay, but that is very funny and we want you all to live forever. Sunday, hang with Clay and Buck.
- [05:22]
Buck Sexton
Something that we don't talk about that often on the show, but I think we could spend more time on is entrepreneurship. And Clay has informed me that we have a great instance of American entrepreneurship. Seeing Elaine, seeing a market that is underway right now and somebody who is putting a formula together that I think is very likely to work. Clay, why don't you share with the class this latest case of somebody who's going to make a billion dollars. I think doing something that's pretty straightforward.
- [05:59]
Clay Travis
It'S relatively rare that I see businesses and I just think to myself, I wish I could put a million dollars.
- [06:05]
Buck Sexton
Take all my money. I'll invest all my money.
- [06:08]
Clay Travis
I want to invest. I Sydney Sweeney, fresh off of basically doubling American Eagle stock. If you bought stock in American Eagle, win their Sydney Sweeney ad campaign. The great jeans campaign debuted. You basically doubled your money. If you just saw those ads and you thought, you know what, pretty girl jeans, I think this is smart move. It's going to sell. Sydney Sweeney has started her own lingerie company and it is lingerie in the vein that Victoria's Secret was initially doing. Lingerie that is really good looking women in not many clothes. And she is going to make. This is a prediction. Can we clip it? We can do the. I know we've got the, the, the, the predictions filed out there. Kamala going to run or not going to run state. I think Buck actually agrees with me on this. This lingerie company which I'm sure will expand into whatever lip gloss and like heels or I don't know, everything else associated with things that women buy is going to be. It's going to make Cindy Sweeney a billionaire. And she's got. They launched today just in time for Valentine's Day. We're not getting paid for this, but there are so many dudes out there that are going to see this and I guarantee you they're going to run out of stock. And all she's doing. And I actually think you could say, okay, culturally, why does this matter, Clay? All she's doing is punching back against this idea that body positivity is a good thing. And if you're super fat, you should be proud of that, and you should walk around in spandex all day. And she's actually going back to, hey, let's put attractive women in clothes. Like, look, if I had an underwear company, I would not put myself in the underwear to sell the underwear. I don't think anybody would be like, oh, look at Clay Travis in this underwear. I've got to get this. People want to buy clothing of people that is better looking than them wearing the clothing as an aspirational idea. And they don't want to see trans influencers in. In bras and panties. And Sydney Sweeney, I think, is brilliant in just recognizing how much of this society. Society was bs And I think she's going to cash in, the likes of which we haven't seen in a very, very long time in the world of lingerie. So congrats to her. Sundays with Clay and Buck, podcast listener Amy from Missouri. Gigi.
- [08:36]
Caller/Listener
Hey, Clay and Buck. I really enjoy listening to you guys daily. My question to Clay is, how much snow did you get in Memphis the other day? Because I think I remember hearing you say if it was six inches or less, you were going to be shaving off your beard.
- [08:57]
Clay Travis
What's the word we failed on getting? It's Nashville, but we're in the middle of the ice storm. So I think next week when I am out for the Super Bowl, I will be out for the super bowl with just a mustache. So I am going to have to take the beard off. Buck, I said we were going to get six inches of snow. I think we probably got about four and a half or I don't think we got to six. And then all the ice came in, and it's still icy here, and hundreds of thousands of people are without power. So once everybody's got their power back on, I will become a stash man. I will have a mustache only. And I understand. Wait, you're.
- [09:38]
Buck Sexton
You're going. You're doing. I'm going to say this, man. I think the stash look on you is going to be kind of elite. I'm. I think that you're going to look a little bit like Kurt Russell in Tombstone, which all the ladies listening are going to be like, oh, I like that Kurt Russell.
- [09:51]
Clay Travis
Well, look, Sydney Sweeney started a lingerie company, and there may be some men who are favorably disposed towards that. I feel like I should give back to the women. And so I. In time for Valentine's Day. If you're. If you're just looking for a little Bit of a sizzle, then I'm going to bring the sizzle. Sydney Sweeney's bringing the sizzle on the lingerie. I'm going to bring the mustache back. You're going to start thinking Tom Selleck, Clay Travis, who's the other famous mustachioed Sam Elliott. I'm going to bring the stash back. Now, I may grow back the beard eventually, but I'm going to go mustache for the Super Bowl. So I lost. I was wrong. I was hoping we were just going to get snow.
- [10:32]
Buck Sexton
I got to know something on this. And we might even need a talk back from her. She's been a little quiet for a while now. What does Laura Travis think about you entering the land of mustache only?
- [10:44]
Clay Travis
So I've had a beard since 2002. So before anybody had a beard, I had a beard. So that's 20, what, 24 years. Almost a quarter century of having a beard. I. So some. I don't know if this was ever the case with you, Buck, when you would, like, your dad goes on vacation or whatever. I would. When I was a little kid, I would say to my dad, hey, will you grow a beard while we're away on vacation? My dad couldn't grow a beard. Like, he didn't have facial hair. He couldn't. Like, he could not grow a beard. So he never did. But he would say, okay, I'll try. And he'd get a little bit of, you know, a little bit of, you know, peach fuzz. Basically, my kids said to me a few years ago, dad, will you shave your beard off while we're on vacation? I did it. Laura was not a fan. So I. I don't know that Laura is going to respond favorably to the mustache. So I may not be able to stay mustache. But just to make sure that the holiday Valentine's Day has enough spice for everybody out there, I'm gonna. I'm gonna have the.
- [11:42]
Buck Sexton
I'm just saying, I think when it happens, we need a Laura verdict on the mustache. Like, you can relay it to us or she can do a talk back or. Yes, but I want to know where she comes out of this, because, you know, even during the show, I shaved my beard at one point. And Carrie, who is my dutiful and wonderful wife, love of my life, she was kind of like, I think we need that beard back. So, like, okay, there we go.
- [12:05]
Clay Travis
I think for guys who are, let's say, you know, 25 to 45, I think a beard is almost more common than a non beard is that.
- [12:14]
Buck Sexton
Well, see I've actually looked into this. I've looked into this and, and my, you know, one of the. This is going to be a digression. But you know what, it's the third hour. We've talked a lot about the ice stuff. If you missed that, go back, listen to the podcast. We gave you all the details on everything you need so far. So a lot of, a lot of trends and fashion is actually military related. Now for those who are like, immediately things are coming to mind like you might own a trench coat, for example. Right. This actually comes from guess what, the trench warfare and what people were wearing to try. So there's also a whole range of different. I mean, I'm not even coming up with all of them off the top of my head right now, but aviator glasses, although maybe you say that's not necessarily for fighter pilots, but guess what? A lot of people associated or a lot of it was from fighter pilots. Bomber jackets. Think about a bomber jacket. Guess, guess what, guess who was wearing bomber jackets. People up in planes dropping high end.
- [13:15]
Clay Travis
Watches that are used to time like the, I mean all the pilots used to have to have a specific type of watch, right?
- [13:22]
Buck Sexton
Yeah. In fact, the tricorn hat, that is so much really the, the quintessential symbol of the Revolutionary War era in America comes from the rounded hat of Spanish mercenaries who were fighting up and I believe it was Flanders. And then there were some Americans and some other Europeans who came, you know, came in, or rather some British came into contact with these mercenaries and they realized that this was better for on the parade ground moving the very long muskets they had side to side. So that's why they started flipping up the sides of the hat, by the way. It was kind of a military fashion. That's why we got the tricorn hat. You can go look this stuff up. It's, it's all pretty amazing. I bring this up because the whole notion, you'll notice you see a lot of clean shaven American men in the 19th century, in the 1800s.
- [14:14]
Caller/Listener
No.
- [14:14]
Buck Sexton
In fact, you see some pretty wild facial hair stuff. You know, General Burnside, one of Clay's favorites, of course. Or side. Yeah.
- [14:23]
Clay Travis
Burnside came from.
- [14:25]
Buck Sexton
Yeah.
- [14:25]
Clay Travis
Ambrose Burnside, who was the leader of the Union army in 1862. His, you know, his mutton chops basically became very, very famous.
- [14:34]
Buck Sexton
You know, your boy over here is trying to keep up with some Civil War stuff, buddy. You know, you got to be proud. So, General Burnside, there's all this, but you look at all the old Photos and you see all these guys, they all have facial hair. And then when does it stop? It stops in World War II. World War I you get a lot of mustaches. World War II it stops. Why does it stop? The American GI for grooming standard. Everyone's shaving everyone in the military. You look back, you look at Marines, you look at. We didn't have like the sort of.
- [15:03]
Clay Travis
The spec ops gas mask related. Because you needed to be able to fasten a gas mask. Is that why it suddenly started that.
- [15:09]
Buck Sexton
That was a big part of it is that you couldn't seal a gas mask if you had properly, if, especially if you had like a really, you know, thick beard situation. So also just in general though, if you're going to like, I don't think you want to have a woolly beard.
- [15:21]
Clay Travis
If you're in Guadalcanal.
- [15:22]
Buck Sexton
Like I'm, you know, there's plenty of, a lot of things creepy Crawley is going to get in there. The point is the American GI became clean shaven. And so the symbol of American masculinity and patriotism was uniformly clean shaven. And guess who kept this going. Gillette. And a lot of these big companies with, you know, stay close to your woman and like all this stuff with the shaving and everything else. So then we've gone through different iterations of mustache and whatever. But we're back now. And I think, and I've said this.
- [15:51]
Clay Travis
Before, that it's a big part of.
- [15:53]
Buck Sexton
It is kind of the elite masculine archetype of the 21st century in America has been the spec ops bearded Iraq Afghanistan veteran. And that that has played a big role in the return of the beard, in my opinion, in sort of trends in this country.
- [16:12]
Clay Travis
And by the way, tying this all back together, J.D. vance, I believe is the first bearded president or vice president since the Civil War era. I think that's correct. You fact checkers out there, Beard, not a mustache. First bearded president, I think since the post Civil War when everybody who was elected was a Republican, you know, Grant and company was a Republican who had fought in the Civil war, I think. J.D. vance, first bearded president or vice president since like the 1880s or 1890s. So cycling it all back around. Maybe I'm going to make the mustache come back in prominence. By the way, Grok says the last person to have a beard or goatee was Charles Fairbanks, who was the VP for Teddy Roosevelt from 1905 to 1909. J.D. vance, first bearded guy in over 100 years.
- [17:08]
Buck Sexton
Got some great talkbacks here. Let's get to it. First up, BB podcast listener Robert.
- [17:14]
Clay Travis
Hey, Clan Buck. I'm listening to you guys on iheartradio and this is our one to Hollywood's identity. This is probably the most entertaining segment I've ever listened to you guys that you've done. And I've been listening since, I don't know, five years now. So keep it up. This is hilarious. I love you guys. Bye.
- [17:32]
Buck Sexton
Well, we love you too. What were we, were we just like making fun of Hollywood on that one? He's talking about a Friday.
- [17:36]
Clay Travis
I think it was talking about the culture shift. I mean that's the Centers center stuff. Oh yeah, the 16 nominations and how the culture of Hollywood unfortunately is not rewarding excellence.
- [17:49]
Buck Sexton
Speaking of movies, did you watch the rip? What's your, what's your 30 second review on the rip on Netflix?
- [17:55]
Clay Travis
So the rip is Matt Damon and Ben Affleck and it is a, what I would say is like kind of an old school cop movie. Solid entertaining hour and 40 minutes. You're not gonna watch it and be like, this is awful. It's not the greatest cop movie ever made set down in South Florida. And I, I mean I watched it with my, my wife, my mother in law is here because so many people are out of power. She doesn't have power. So she's been at the house with us. All three of us enjoyed it. So wide variety of perspectives. It's Netflix. And again, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, nothing. Just sheer entertainment.
- [18:32]
Buck Sexton
AA podcast listener Eric, hit it. I listening to you guys talk about cheesesteaks and I gotta gotta admit, I love a good Philly cheesesteak but that trash they sell at Geno's is horrible.
- [18:49]
Clay Travis
And you're right, Buck.
- [18:50]
Buck Sexton
The Cheez Whiz is trash. Go to New Jersey. Go to three brothers right outside of.

Clay Travis
Maguire Air Force Base.
- [18:57]
Buck Sexton
It is phenomenal. They got a special cheesesteak that's amazing. Well, that's obviously a man there with Eric Clay of fantastic taste and also will speak truth to power, which is that big cheesesteak in Philadelphia. Not good at all. You can find artisan cheesesteaks that are delicious.
- [19:15]
Clay Travis
Good night, Philadelphia. We were hoping that we were going to have great ratings in your community and Buck just lit it all on, on fire. So did our AA talk back guy there. I still like Geno's and Pat's. I got a positive feedback for you there.

Hi Buck. Usually I respect your opinion so highly, but on this Natalie Portman, you are dead wrong. And you know you're supposed to base your opinion on facts. So I'd like to know what Natalie Portman movies have you even seen? Why don't you tell us that? I bet you haven't seen many. You're doubling down on stupid. And she's very pretty.
- [23:17]
Clay Travis
Natalie Portman's mom just, I was gonna say dugging you, Buck, with the two by four.
- [23:22]
Buck Sexton
I mean, I, I could tell you I saw Black Swan. Garbage. Garbage. That was a movie? No, garbage. Movie trash. Not as, not as bad as Sinners. To be fair, Sinners is the worst ever. But Natalie Portman in Black Swan is. It was, the whole thing was preposterous. Preposterous.
- [23:41]
Clay Travis
I thought Black Swan was pretty good. I will say this, Buck. I watched Laura. I don't like to blame people. It's not my thing. But my wife is 100% to blame here. We're getting ready for bed. Laura puts on Begonia, which I believe is nominated for a Academy Award. Maybe the worst two hours of my life. I, I, I watched this movie and I just, I regret every minute that I spent watching it. I think it's nominated for an Academy Award. It was actually pretty awful. And so I am, I, I usually get criticized for being too kind, saying, hey, I like the rip. Pretty enjoyable. Watch. Begonia was utterly time wasted. And I thought it was awful.

Look, Natalie Portman. I understand that big Hollywood and the machinery of the media has been telling you that she's like the most beautiful woman in the world for a long time. I understand this. But if you really look at her and you just forget that her name was Natalie Portman, formerly Natalie Herschlag. If you really just look at her, you, you will be like, I think she kind of looks like a 15 year old boy. I'm just telling you the truth. I'm just here to tell the truth. People could get mad at me, but I speak the truth. And that's, you know, it's got her hair always back in some little ponytail. I don't get it. I don't get it. Look, Sydney Sweeney, you know, that's, that's there's a reason she's going to be a billionaire off the lingerie company. Like this is a, this is a sex symbol. Ok, if we're talking about this in the media context. Natalie Portman most beautiful woman again, is she good looking? Yes, of course. I'm not saying she's ugly, I'm not a lunatic. But is she, she's always on these lists. Oh, the most beautiful woman. Google it. Oh, the most beautiful woman in the world. Get out of here. Get out of here. Not even, not even the conversation. Not even up there with like old school Catherine Deneuve, you know, people crazy.
- [25:33]
Clay Travis
Good lord.
- [25:34]
Buck Sexton
She's not even, she's not even. Oh, she's not Audrey Hepburn level. I'll go back to the classics, baby. She's just, man, she's just.
- [25:40]
Clay Travis
Okay, she's made like Audrey Hepburn. Actually Natalie Portman looks a lot like Audrey.
- [25:45]
Buck Sexton
Natalie Portman looks like a 15 year old boy. Vers version of Audrey Hepburn. There you go.
- [25:52]
Clay Travis
You know, people came after me for being correct about the fact that it was weird that she was playing as a grown woman alongside a little kid. And, and people were like, well, you know, Anakin's 9 in that movie and she's supposed to be 14. Why didn't they just make Anakin 14 2? Right. And then you could have played the adult actors in that role. But this doesn't help because they paid Natalie portman play a 14 year old in that movie. And everybody was like, yeah, I can see that. I think that makes total sense. Marilyn Monroe, maybe we could go there. Who was the French bombshell who just died? Brigitte Bardot.
- [26:28]
Buck Sexton
Brigitte Bardot, Monica Bellucci. These are beautiful women. These are women that if you're, if you're elevating them. And by the way, I'm not trying to. And it's not about superficial whatever, but we're talking about global icons of beauty making tons of money and global fame. The fact that Natalie Portman for some of you is even in that conversation is just evidence of the Portman propaganda. I'm sorry, I'm just, I gotta tell you the truth.

Clay Travis
By the way, we got some amazing talkbacks. Let me hit a bunch of these here. Jay, podcast listener rt, he's weighing in.

Hey, Buck. Just wanted to let you know, my wife is a big fan of the show and she's also a cousin of Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

Clay Travis
That's legit.

Buck Sexton
That's cool.

Is that Duggan still alive? Do we know? I hope so.

Yeah, I hope so.

Not sure either. Let's see.

Clay Travis
Are you suggesting that the 1980s era wrestlers might have been making unhealthy decisions for their lifestyles?
- [27:36]
Buck Sexton
Maybe just a little bit. I don't think the Ultimate Warrior just did more push ups than the next guy. I'm going to put it that way. I'm going to, I'm going to throw that out there.

If Don Lemon's judge is a middle aged woman, will his defense team ask.
- [27:55]
Clay Travis
Her to recuse herself because she's no longer in her prime?
- [27:58]
Buck Sexton
Just a thought.
- [28:00]
Clay Travis
Funny. That's very well played. That's the last time Don Lemon made news, which is why he's ecstatic that he got arrested. Because in the past he had to deal with the fact that he was the guy who got fired for saying that any woman past 40 was outside of her prime. And then when he got questioned on.
- [28:16]
Buck Sexton
It, he got double down on it.
- [28:18]
Clay Travis
Google it. His response was like Don Lemon sitting down in front of his computer and typing in, when are women in their prime? I mean, if you wondered whether he was gay or not, that's a pretty good sign that, you know, you know.
- [28:30]
Buck Sexton
Who really love that? All the 55 year old female executives working at CN. They, they loved that Don Lemon comment, let me tell you.
- [28:38]
Clay Travis
I mean, he thought he was gay and black and CNN could not fire him because he was doubly protected and he was such a moron that they managed to fire him. This is not good for me, by the way. G, Michael in Milwaukee, we love our Milwaukee listeners. Cut G. Wanted to circle back for a little fun topic on a Friday. You guys are discussing facial hair for the super bowl on next week. I think you're discussing that on Tuesday show. Just curious if Buck could get on that. I think it'd be pretty funny to see both Clay and Buck rocking mustaches. Maybe start a little movement short term to bring the mustache back.
- [29:10]
Caller/Listener
Curious your thoughts. Have a good weekend.
- [29:12]
Buck Sexton
Okay, I, I, I have to jump in on this one first just because I, I have to beat Clay to The punch on this one, Clay, I think, can actually grow a mustache. Like a mustache worthy of Magnum PI Oh. One of you pointed out that Magnum drove a. Not a Testarossa, but a. It was a different car. A gt. A Mustang gt, I think, or something. So a cool car, but not a Testarossa. Was Sonny Crockett in Miami Vice so questionable?
- [29:38]
Clay Travis
I never even thought about this, because when you're a kid, you don't think about these things. How did he drive a Ferrari? How. Now producer Greg is firing back that there is dispute over what car he drove.
- [29:50]
Buck Sexton
Oh, okay. Oh, it was a Ferrari. Okay, so I'm right. Yeah. I thought it was a Ferrari. We got an email from a VIP saying that I messed that one up. And because I'm me, I'm so. I'm so quick to. To correct myself. Perhaps it was a Ferrari. Higgins. Higgins definitely could afford a Ferrari. See that house he was rocking in?
- [30:08]
Clay Travis
But Magnum PI Like, I don't know exactly how he could have got. But you're going to confess that you don't think you can grow a mustache.
- [30:14]
Buck Sexton
You know, you're like my Higgins, man. I got to come check out Castle Travis. You know what I'm saying? Right around in some of your Ferraris.
- [30:20]
Clay Travis
It does. It does. The new house does somewhat resemble a castle. Laura built it. She has awful begonia. Again, awful movie. I don't know if anybody out there else has even watched it, but she has good taste on cars. You don't think you can. I mean, a good taste on houses. You don't think you can grow a. A mustache?
- [30:39]
Buck Sexton
No, I, I. So my facial hair is patchy and different colored and light. And so my mustache, I don't even think. I think I would have to color it. Which, now that I'm saying that out loud, I think would be even better if I, like, had really, like, a really, you know, clearly dyed mustache for the Super Bowl. Maybe that would actually add something to this. But you. You already have the. You have the full. If you got rid of everything else, you got a stash. You're good. I. You can see I got. I've got, like. This is like peach fuzz up here. This looks like I'm. I'm trying to buy beer at the bodega in high school. Like, this is not good. It's not going to work.
- [31:17]
Clay Travis
Not good. I just got a text message. It's not ideal. My own mom. Buck is right. Natalie Portman is not that pretty. Just average. Boom.
- [31:30]
Buck Sexton
You know, Clay, how many times have I talked about the wisdom, the wisdom of Mrs. Travis over all these years. She is a lady who knows what she sees and sees what she knows.
- [31:41]
Clay Travis
She's.
- [31:42]
Buck Sexton
She's locked in. She's locked in. Thank you. Thank you. Clay's mom, she's totally right when it comes to Wayne. If you think for yourself, if you think for yourself for one second when you're looking at Allie Portman, you're not just to be. I'm not saying she's ugly. I'm not being mean. I'm just saying most beautiful woman on earth. Are you out of your mind? She's ok. She is. To borrow from Kevin in the office, mid. Mid for a celebrity, not mid for a person. She's good looking, but mid for a celebrity. I, the, the hard truths are always hard to hear. Everybody but Clay's mom is with me. Clay, you just got, you just got hacksaw Jim Duggan, buddy. You just got.
- [32:22]
Clay Travis
I can't believe my own mom turned her back on me. Turned her back on me. Here you take us to break. I, I, I've been, I've been betrayed by my own, my own kin.
- [32:31]
Buck Sexton
We got, we got to get going here with more talkbacks and calls. Everybody, this is how we close it out. We want to hear from all of you all over the country. Almost 600 stations. So we should get plenty of talkbacks, plenty of calls. 800-282-2882. Pylon.

Judy in Birmingham, Alabama. Judy, thanks for listening.
- [33:04]
Caller/Listener
Hey, Clay. Oh, this is so exciting to talk to you. It's the first time caller. Love your show. Just wanted to weigh in on the mustache. Please, please do have a mustache. I think it would be so sexy. My husband had a mustache when I met him in 1978. We married in 1981. He had a mustache until he passed away in 2023.
- [33:29]
Clay Travis
We're sorry that.
- [33:30]
Caller/Listener
Yeah, go mustache.
- [33:32]
Clay Travis
You're pro mustache. Do you have kids, Judy?
- [33:34]
Caller/Listener
I do.
- [33:35]
Buck Sexton
I have a daughter.
- [33:35]
Clay Travis
Grandkids. Any grandkids? Are you a grandma?
- [33:41]
Caller/Listener
No, no, no. Just a daughter and a son in law for now.
- [33:46]
Clay Travis
Okay, well tell them to get started on having babies. The only reason I was asking is because. Thank you for calling. You have great.
- [33:51]
Buck Sexton
I didn't want to ask Julie her age, but can I just say my thesis here remains strong. I might have had to in the photo line. Watch Julie's hands getting a little headsy on the hip there. I'm just saying. But you guys all think is like, whatever we say. I've been with Clay's wife when we're having this conversation, and some nice grandma from the Midwest is getting a little handsy with Clay. I don't know what to tell you. They just love to just hold them close and squeeze them tight.
- [34:16]
Clay Travis
I appreciate Judy calling. I mean, she just proves my point. All women, grandma age, moms, they love me.
- [34:24]
Buck Sexton
I think. I think you may seriously become a mustache guy. Like, I'm gonna make this call right now. I think Lara's gonna love it. I think it's gonna. I think it's very okoron and. And people would really like it.
- [34:35]
Clay Travis
Mustache for the Super Bowl. I'm not going to wear it to the bar mitzvah bat mitzvah combo that I'm going to tomorrow because nobody's going to know me, and I don't want to intimidate the kids. But come Sunday, I'm going to. Going to have a mustache. Paul in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Paul, what you got for us?
- [34:54]
Caller/Listener
You mean Tom?
- [34:56]
Buck Sexton
Sure.
- [34:57]
Clay Travis
Yeah. Producer Greg's gonna get on probation because these names don't sound very similar. Yeah, sorry. It's Tom, not Paul in Chattanooga. What you got for us?
- [35:07]
Caller/Listener
Well, just a couple of quick things. The first one is I'm not big on Natalie Portman, but a lot of people do not realize, I think, really, one of her best roles ever, and she was actually kind of sexy in it. She was the mom with the baby in Cold Mountain.
- [35:25]
Clay Travis
I thought that was Renee Zellweger.
- [35:28]
Caller/Listener
No, she was a friend of what, the girl with the baby. You know, she went out and.
- [35:34]
Buck Sexton
I'm gonna check. I'm going to Grok. I haven't seen this movie.
- [35:37]
Clay Travis
Cold Mountain was a great movie. Paul, you sound. Are you born and raised, Chattanooga, Tennessee?
- [35:42]
Caller/Listener
No, I'm Tom, not Paul. My dad was a Paul.
- [35:45]
Buck Sexton
No, she's. He's right. He's right. She's Natalie Portman.
- [35:49]
Clay Travis
Chattanooga.
- [35:51]
Caller/Listener
Well, in fact, I probably grew up about a mile from your grandparents in Red bank from where you told me they lived.
- [35:58]
Clay Travis
That's right. I said, you sound exactly like everybody that I grew up going to visit in Chattanooga, Tennessee, when I was a kid. So thank you, Tom, for calling. And you are 100% right to close out the week. You are right. She was in Cold Mountain back in the day. Yeah.
- [36:16]
Buck Sexton
I just thought it's fun. It's like Portman Zellweger. That would be kind of a tough one, but he got it right. We he nailed it. D Michael from Florida hit it on the Talk.
- [36:25]
Clay Travis
Congratulations on getting Sirius xm, guys. That's awesome. I wonder how Buck feels knowing that Natalie Portman helped get you guys on there. Channel 123. How did Natalie Portman help us January 9th? Well, it's probably just skyrocketing ratings because she's so good.
- [36:43]
Buck Sexton
Oh, well, that's for. That's for sure.

Clay Travis
Doug in Phoenix to close out the shop for the week. Doug and KFYI hi, Doug in Phoenix here. I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna be the actually guy. Anakin Skywalker was 9 years old in episode one and Padme was 14. So when they started dating, Anakin was 19 and she was 24.
- [37:05]
Buck Sexton
Sounded like Star wars guy there. I like it.
- [37:08]
Clay Travis
Why couldn't they both just be 14 in episode one? Why do we have to pretend that there's this age gap? I don't get it.
