A
The Sunday Hang with Clay and Buck podcast starts now. Explain everybody Trump's taste in movies. Because it's like he rated the the Sexton Boys VHS collection from the 90s. Trump has great taste in movies and he wants to make movies great again.
- [00:35]
B
I saw this and I texted it to Buck last night. This is from Semaphore. It's a media company that is out there and they dove into the relationship between Trump and Larry Ellison and David Ellison, who now run Paramount. And, and they said that Trump has gotten involved in suggesting new movies and in particular he has said that he would like to see more Rush hour movies, more buddy cop movies as, as it pertains to going forward. Paramount, like for those of you who remember and that he considers the best movies to have been made in the 80s and 90s, including Buck's movie that is at the very top of his all time list, Bloodsport, which is Bloodsport.
- [01:24]
A
The van, the best Van Damme movie, I would say the best martial arts movie ever made. It is a phenomenal movie. And I love the semaphore thing. It says that Trump watches it, but he sometimes fast forwards just to watch the fight scenes. I love Trump. He's the best.
- [01:40]
B
It's a New Yorker profile piece. They said that Trump had a reporter on the plane with him. This is back from like 1997. And he had one of his sons just fast forwarding to all of the best fight scenes so they could watch it in 45 minutes as opposed to two hours.
- [01:57]
A
The funny thing is every American male, every American male who does not self describe as a male feminist reads that and goes, yeah, I've, you know, I've, I somehow just watched the fights. He's like totally normal.
- [02:08]
B
If you're a New Yorker reporter, this.
- [02:11]
A
Is just, you're, you're a ruffian, a philistine. How could you just go and watch the fight scenes in Bloodsport? It's a great movie, dude. It's a great. Stephen Miller of the White House told us on this show it's his favorite movie. Oh yeah, it's like a top five for me. I wouldn't say it's all. It's not number one, number one, but it's a great, great film. I love that. Trump loves it.
- [02:31]
B
Sissy sent a VIP email, by the way, Clay, the last time you lost your temper. Was July 13th when Trump was almost assassinated. I saved your Instagram rant. It helps me to watch it on days when I get frustrated with the. I was furious that day because we had just talked about the fact that it was so inevitable that they were going to try to kill Trump and furious about it. Jeff in Chandler, Arizona, he's a terrorist. Ff you can play it.
- [02:57]
A
Sorry, guys, hate to disagree with you because I agree with you on so many things, but does the button on the chair work? And if you press it, does the chair go back? If the answer is yes, then it's meant to be reclined. Sorry. Okay. I'm not going to lie in discomfort. If you're going to be. If you're going to be a chair terrorist, that's on you, buddy. You know, what can we say?
- [03:16]
B
Don't recline. Don't recline. Be concerned about the status of the world. Be a good human. Keep your seat back up.

Sunday sizzle with Clay and Buck.
- [03:32]
B
Carly out in Colorado. Carly, what you got?
- [03:36]
C
What I have is you guys are always talking about warm weather, blah, blah, blah. You could not pay me to live in Florida. I love the snow. In fact, I'm in Colorado. It's 26 degrees. I probably have 6 inches of new snow since last night. There are millions of us like that, Buck. Millions of us. And if you like the hot weather so much, why do you wear your little blanket at night watching tv, you know? Is that because you have the air on?
- [04:04]
A
Yes.
- [04:05]
C
I want you to know.
- [04:06]
A
Excuse me. I will have you know that the no seeums here are vicious and that I cannot just have the windows open because the no see him would come and get me and they bite and they're very mean.
- [04:18]
B
Carly, where in Colorado are you?
- [04:20]
C
Highlands Ranch. I'm going to go out and play with the snow with my dogs. I mean, I'm out constantly. Love it, love it, love it, love it.
- [04:27]
B
So Laura, my wife, loves skiing, snowboarding, all of the winter weather activities that one engages in. She's got our boys.
- [04:38]
A
I don't think humans are meant to play in ice. I don't think so. I think they're, you know, we're not polar bears. I'm sorry.
- [04:43]
B
I think Colorado is amazing in the summer when I've been out there. And I will say this, a lot of cold weather is brutal because there's not enough sunshine. Colorado has tons of sun, right? So it's one of the. One of the great places people don't think about, you know, Denver, for instance. Has so many sunny days My wife, when we started. This is true. I don't know. I've told you this, Buck. My wife and I, when we started dating, she said, I want to get you into skiing. Because she loves it. She's done it her whole life. She's from Michigan. She now snowboards, which is cooler, or at least used to be cooler with Gen X. So she's a really, really good snowboarder. She's like, I want to get you into skiing. When I was in law school, we went on a trip to Snowshoe, West Virginia. Great place, Great snow up there. I hit a tree. I hit a tree. Not going that fast, but fast enough that when I hit the tree, I thought, you know what? I like every sport, if I seriously injured myself trying to learn how to ski or snowboard, would I be thinking to myself, hey, you know what? I'm glad I was trying to do this. Or would I think as I was laying there amid the branches in the tree, this was really dumb. You know, I grew up in the South. I like every other sport I can do without skiing. So now you know what I do? Kids go ski. I go to. Either I work, which is what I do most of the time, or I just hang out in the, in the ski lodges, which isn't a bad place.
- [06:08]
A
You're. You're big into the, what they call apres ski.
- [06:11]
B
Yes. I don't do the ski. I just go straight to the apres ski. So I have the drinks, I have the hot tubbing. I have all of the good things that people do to recover from skiing. Except I never actually ski, which. And I like the ski village thing. I think that's very cool. Like, we're at Park City, awesome place. Like, I like going. I don't need to be on the slopes. I don't need to be out in the cold. I don't need to be worrying about wind gusts or, you know, like hitting trees. And that feels like a good solution to me.
- [06:41]
A
I do remember going sledding in Central park when I was a kid a few times. And it was all fun and games until you got a little too aggressive and you hit that icy bump at the bottom and you took off and you had about 2 seconds of launch time in the air where as a 12 year old or a 10 year old or whatever, you thought that you were heroic. And then it all came truly crashing down. And you know, you have those scrape marks all over your hands, maybe a little bloody nose from taking a head first, right into right into the snow bank. No good.
- [07:18]
B
Colorado, though, in the summer, I think, much like I say northern Michigan, to me, northern Michigan is the most underrated place in the United States in the summer.
- [07:29]
A
I.
- [07:29]
B
And every time I say this, people in northern Michigan say, clay, don't talk about it. Don't tell people about it. It's like Fight Club. You can't talk about how great northern Michigan is. And I would have never known if I hadn't married a girl from Michigan. Colorado in the summer to me is way better than Colorado in the winter. And that's because I'm not a skier. But if you told me, hey, you can go visit all these beautiful places in Colorado in the summer or the winter, it's not even a tough call to me. I 100% would rather be in Colorado in the summer. It's spectacular out there in the summer.
- [07:59]
A
Well, this is like when people watch the show Yellowstone. I've actually seen some funny online things about how a lot of people watch Yellowstone.
- [08:07]
B
Oh, yeah.
- [08:07]
A
And they're like, hey, you know what? I want to buy a house in Bozeman or in the area of Bozeman or, you know, whatever. And they stop. They never stop to think Yellowstone. You'll notice it's always summertime on that show. I have some problems with that show. I could get into this at some length. Like, they just murder people who don't want to be cowboys anymore anymore and bury the bodies. Like, that's not cool. Like, that's not a good guy thing to do. Like, hey, I don't want to be a cattle rancher anymore or whatever.
- [08:37]
B
Like, oh, we got to put one back of your head, Buck. I love that they go to Wyoming and just dump bodies in a ravine and no one, no one has ever thought to look in the ravine for all the dead bodies. It. It seemed to me that that would create a stir in Wyoming, which doesn't have that big of a population. Wyoming.
- [08:53]
A
I'm pretty sure they do have laws there against murder. I'm pretty sure. You know, and. And the. But the whole, the whole show, I mean, it's again, fun to watch. It's kind of like the movie the Rock. It's fun to watch.
- [09:04]
B
But it's.
- [09:04]
A
The whole thing is preposterous, ok? In Yellowstone. The whole thing is absolutely preposterous. And the funniest part about it is Montana is the coldest state in America on average, in the winter. Ok? It's Montana. Yes. Because Alaska gets. Now, this is based on where people live because it Gets the. But it gets the coastal effect, right? So the population of Alaska doesn't live really in the interior or like way up in the. You know, those. I don't know what it's called. But in those other places, they live in places like Anchorage, near the water. And so they get some kind of a coastal effect. So it's actually generally not quite as bad. Montana is freakishly cold in the wintertime. And you. Everyone in Yellowstone is walking around, it's beautiful. It's sunny at 75. And they're like, you know, just wearing, they're wearing their Stetson and their jean shirt.
- [09:55]
B
There are two television shows that have been very popular that hit on exactly what you said. They never have winter shoots in, in anything having to do with the Yellowstone show. Remember Deadwood? Great show on hbo.
- [10:11]
A
Fantastic HBO show.
- [10:12]
B
One of the great characters of all time. Al Swearingen in the television show Deadwood. Always filmed in the summer because it's like a Hollywood production and they don't want to have to spend the money on all the snow. But if you think about the culture of those places, the winter, I would argue, defines them far more than the few good months of weather they get. And, and, and so both shows I really enjoy. But it is funny to your point. Lots of this, this. You talk about transplants, Montana, the number of people from Southern California who decide that they want to be ranchers, and they get to Montana and they walk outside in December, January or February, and they're like, yeah, maybe I don't want to be a rancher as much. I mean, ranching in July is a lot different than ranching in, in February. But they're buying up land. They have no idea what they're walking into. And, and that is a very big lifestyle change.
- [11:10]
A
I think it's. Everyone's watching Yellowstone. They're like, oh, man, it's so beautiful. Three months of the year. Like, what is. What is it? Like, what is that guy. What's his. What's. Who's. The guy who's always wearing black?
- [11:22]
B
It was.
- [11:23]
A
Got the glasses. Who's like the regulator on the ranch. You know what I mean? The guy. What's rip? Yeah, yeah, let's see. RIP in like, you know, like an Eskimo suit in January. Because that's actually how it would be. I'm just saying. I know some of you are getting to be like, why are you saying this about my favorite show? Because it's filmed in Utah in the summer.
- [11:41]
B
That's why.
- [11:41]
A
It has nothing to do with actual Montana Rancher life. Just throwing it out there. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
- [11:47]
B
Did you see the raccoon that got loose in the liquor store and got wasted and passed out in the bathroom?
- [11:52]
A
Is that real or is that AI.
- [11:56]
B
Have I now brought to millions of people? It totally made it. I read it and I totally like, I assumed it was real. Maybe we could have some fun with that tomorrow if you didn't see the story. A raccoon got loose, knocked over some bottles of bourbon, got wasted and then passed out in the bathroom. And there's video footage and pictures of the raccoon. I'm told the raccoon is fine. I don't know if raccoons get headaches after a bourbon Bourbon festivities.
- [12:27]
A
You know, I obviously have a fondness for animals. Raccoons are amazing little creatures. They are incredibly smart and really have problem solving intelligence. And they can. They're much more agile than a lot of people realize, so. But you don't want them in your trash can later. People call them trash pandas. I don't think that's the preferred nomenclature. But they don't like to be called trash pandas. But they are in fact called trash pandas. KK Bert. Who listens on 7, 10 w o r a New Yorker. Let's go. Let's hear it. Hey, Bougie. Buck. I'm going to defend you, my man. It's not your fault that you're a product of your environment growing up in the mean streets of the Upper east side and you have posters of Andre Agassi and who's that boy there? Greg Luganis on your walls. Growing up, you're still a man. Even though you enjoy synchronized platform diving and water polo. Have a good one, guys. Whoa, whoa.
- [13:21]
B
Greg Louganus. Fire. I wasn't expecting that. Luganis. He hit his head on the diving board back in 88, if I remember correctly.
- [13:28]
A
Yeah, I was a big Andre Agassi fan. So he's definitely. He sees what I've. What I've got going on here. He's true or That's. That's correct. J.J. truck driver. Gibbs. Another trucker. Let's hear him, J.J. play it. Gentlemen, this is Gibbs. Truck driving out here in Wisconsin at the moment. Had to come to Buck's defense not sacrificing his man card because he's pleasing his woman. My house stays at 68 degrees year round because that's the way my wife likes it. There's nothing wrong with that. And Clay, my wife picked up your balls the Other day. No other man could say that. So congratulations. Kudos. There we go. Doing a great job. We love Trucker Gibbs. Thank you, sir. And Clay, he's right, man. You know what I mean? I, I, the man card, you keep the wife happy. That's worth any man card. Sunday hang with Clay and Buck. So I'm going to tell you how this happened. They said to me, they said, Buck, because they know I don't like to work weekends. Ok, I just don't, I generally don't like it. But, but for Kayleigh McEnany, who's a dear friend of many, many years, I'd like to point this out. Clay, I will have been doing, I'll be in my either 15th or 16th year of like working in media starting in June. That's when I left the government in 2011, I think. So it's coming up right. I've known Kaylee almost that whole time. I think I met her the second or third year. I bring it up because I'm willing to do Kaylee's show on the weekends because she's a great American and it's a great program. But sometimes they even will say, buck, you got to do the show. We're going to have you and Clay on together and it's going to be oh so much fun. So, so I'm waking up. I'm leaving Baby Speed with Carrie. I got my Crockett coffee at the table smelling and tasting delicious crockettcoffee.com you want to go subscribe. This holiday season, my friends. We'll get back to that. But I leave and I'm expecting that there, there's, there's going to be some dynamic duo action. It's going to Mr. Clay Travis up there. And sure enough, they say right before I go in the air, actually, Buck, it's just going to be you this Saturday. Clay is too cool for school. He's busy. And Kaylee and her team decided that they were going to have at it. They're going to let you know what they think about this absence from our Saturday coffee session, if you will. And here, well, some of us drink Rose. Here is how that went. Play it.
- [15:40]
D
Clay is absent today. I don't know where in the world is Clay, but we put this poster together for him. Where is Clay Travis? Well, I have a theory. Okay, sports, Sports. But Buck, I have a theory. I told him next time he comes on, I'm going to unleash a picture of him drinking a female rose at the Patriot Awards. Jesse Waters team has Asked me for that picture, I said, nope, I'm holding it for the next time Clay's on here. I think he's not. He doesn't want that picture out.
- [16:04]
A
Look, the man enjoys a nicely chilled rose. We even had discussions on our radio show about how perhaps when he comes to visit Miami beach next, there could be some froze in his future. Frozen rose, for those who are uninitiated in some of these fancier ways. So there is that. I will tell you. I was out with Clay and Jesse Travis. Sorry, Clay. Clay Travis. And Jesse Kelly wants another radio host. And Jesse Kelly ordered seventy dollar tequila shots at a hotel we were at. Now, he claims to not know that they were $70 each, but I'm just going to tell you, some of these radio guys, they're quite fancy in their taste for booze. And Clay is going to have to explain to the masses how he became a rose guy in between SEC football and drinking beer out of solo cups.
- [16:49]
B
I don't know what happened.
- [16:50]
D
Everyone thinks Clay Travis is at a football game right now, like with an ipa. I bet he's on a beach somewhere with that chilled rose. But we'll find out. Where is Clay?
- [16:59]
A
This is, this is on our Fox News show this nationwide. I'm going to say this. Notice how I try to just throw Jesse Kelly under the bus as a, as a distraction to run some cover for you. I just want this to be clear.
- [17:10]
B
I'm trying.
- [17:10]
A
They didn't tell me they were going to. They put a wanted poster for Clay up on the screen. I, I was doing the best I could with what I had. Jesse is very tall, so it's hard to shove him under the bus. But I tried.
- [17:21]
B
$75 tequila shots, I might add. The 70 would have been a bargain compared to what Jesse ordered. I was in the air. I was in the air on the way to the Big Ten title game. Never been to the Big Ten title game before. Been to the SEC championship game a lot. It was a great game. Congratulations. Indiana Hoosiers got the big win over Ohio State and it was an awesome game. But yeah, in the air. I looked down at my phone and there's just attacks raging in every direction. Did you really not know that I was, that I was not going to be on? Did you think that I was sitting down to be on? I, I forgot.
- [17:55]
A
I, I thought you were joining. Yes, they, they did send me something saying, you and Clay will be on together. And I. And I was so. Then of course, there was sadness. Sadness descended upon the lamb and it was going to be just me on Saturday. You know, I, I could have been going for a walk on the beach, drinking some froze, but instead I was in my home studio getting ready to do the hit. But it was very much, very much a great chance to sit there, sit there and chat with Ms. Kelly McEnany who's doing fantastic stuff and her dad, as we know, listens every day. So we got to bring our a game because Mr. McEnany, McEnany senior is, is telling us that we got to make sure the show is entertaining.
- [18:32]
B
Yeah, no doubt. And I bet he was watching the football games. So there you go. That was what, that's my excuse. Maybe I'll be on this Saturday. I'll try to make, I'll be down in Miami. Maybe they'll, maybe they'll have me on to defend myself from, from Miami. But in the meantime, by the way, this is interesting. We've got the, the, the now hostile takeover bid. CNN is now forced to cover a hostile takeover bid from people who want to buy the network and, and actually make it sane. And I just bring that up because again, this is going to be a story that is, I think, dominating much of the, the newscast going forward and we will see what the, what's going to transpire there. But I really do think if you're a Trump voter, you should want Paramount to, to win. I tweeted that. And I think this is going to be an important battle when it comes to media consolidation and power.
- [19:28]
A
I, I certainly think that it's going to play out in a way that we will have to pay close attention to. I didn't, I don't know, I don't really have a much of a take on the corporate machination.
- [19:39]
B
And so I think it's super, super significant how exactly this is going to play itself out.
- [19:45]
A
Why do you think Paramount's going to be so much better than Netflix? That's why I, to me, it's like.
- [19:49]
B
I think that they are going to, I think this is some, this is some faith in Larry Ellison and David, David Ellison, who would basically, David Ellison will be running Paramount. I think that they look at the way CNN is and say this left wing craziness that we have allowed to exist at cnn, we are going to adjust. I think that's a huge part of their decisions. I think culturally Paramount has sane owners. Netflix is very left wing and that's pretty, pretty announced left wing. So I think if they buy these assets, it will make them a stronger left wing element here. And so look, what I prefer, obviously, that that Fox or yours truly got the opportunity to make decisions editorially for cnn. Do I think that would be better? Insaner? Yes, I think they'll do a better job.
- [20:47]
A
Alan from New Orleans listens on the fantastic W R and O play BB Whoa, Clay, If I was out at a beautiful event like you are, sitting at a table with Kayleigh McEnany, Emily Compagno and Tommy Lauren, I'm drinking with dead drinking. And I don't care what anybody says. So you go forward. Don't worry about it.
- [21:10]
B
Well, I. I appreciate that, that endorsement there. It has been neglected to point out that again, Kaylee, Tommy and Emily all at the same table with me. And Kaylee, to my recollection, says, hey, I want to. I don't want to drink the red wine at the table because I do think there was some red wine because she was worried about staining her teeth. She had to get up on the stage and present an award. And so that was, I think, the. The impetus to Whispering angel being poured for everyone around the table. It's not like they had bottles of bourbon or vodka or any, even any beer availability. So I appreciate Alan having my back. Bill in New Jersey. CC Nothing wrong with those roses, fellas.
- [21:57]
A
They're just red grapes that have had the skins peeled off, mashed up, and.
- [22:02]
B
Made into the wine. Especially if they're a Zinfandel or a Pinot Noir.
- [22:07]
A
Either of those roses are very nice. Full flavored like the reds, only without some of that little extra bite that the tannins sometimes give. Anyways, good stuff, flavorful, enjoyable. I didn't know we're gonna have a regional distributor for Whispering angel in our.
- [22:23]
B
Audience today, but apparently there definitely should be a wine. I mean, I've said this a lot about different programs. I think alcohol being a sponsor of the show would not be a bad idea. I don't think we've had any. No beer, no liquor, no. No wineries. I think that could make a lot of sense for. For 2026. That would be decision. I think if you're out there and you're in the alcohol market, maybe reach out to our team.
