The Sunday Hang is brought to you by Chalk Natural supplements for guys, gals.
Clay Travis
And nothing in between. Fuel your day@chalk.com Bold, reverent and occasionally random.
Buck Sexton
The Sunday Hang with Clay and Buck podcast starts now.
Clay Travis
So funny what people get fired up about. Northeast people are fired up because I said nobody would live there if we had settled west to east.
Buck Sexton
How dare you, southern fellow. How dare you.
Clay Travis
I'm just saying the west coast is better than the east coast geographically, weather wise. Weather wise. Northeast I like. Well, anyway, here is Henry Syracuse, New York. He's upset. BB let's hear what he says.
Buck Sexton
Clay, I gotta tell you, as someone who lives in upstate New York, your theory on the least populated place in the northeast is, would not withstand. The reason is why is because of the amount of fresh water we have here. They don't have any water out west. They would go and look and find water and end up here. You don't. Don't mess with my upstate New York fam and think that you're going to get away with that, Mr. Tennessee. All right, you. You leave us northeasterners alone.
Clay Travis
I think there would have been plenty of water for the early settlers who were on the west. Like I don't remember people dying of, of LAC water in San Francisco or Los Angeles back in the day. Now the cities have grown so much that there is a massive demand for water now and that's actually a huge issue. It's certainly.
Buck Sexton
Let's get James in Houston and real quick here. He also takes issue with Clay's offhand comment. Go ahead, James. History. Yeah. Through history, commerce and trade has determined where population cities are. If we were still trading with Europe, east would be the place people would live. I mean, if you look at cities like Chicago and Houston, what has made them? It's trade, their access to the waterways. New Orleans is the same way you can go back in history. Jerusalem was founded as a trade posting with Damascus. That is where people settle. It has nothing to do with weather. If it did, Houston would not have the population. James. James, I love it. I'm just gonna say what, Reverend, what, what rivers does Clay have in Tennessee? Not the cool ones that we do in the Northeast. I thought our caller James from Houston was erudite. I thought he was on point and describing how, despite what Clay may think, and I'm going to let you guys on a little secret. Clay wears flip flops, like all the time. Ok? All the time. Now, if you were to wear flip flops constantly, you too would probably think that weather was the most important determination for where you would live. He also wears shorts a lot. I'm just going to say it. He's a shorts and flip flops guy. I live in Miami. And I'm going to say I think I wear pants more than Clay does.
Clay Travis
Probably true.
Buck Sexton
Probably true. But our caller says that commerce waterways, proximity to Europe and the. And the trading relationship, they're more important than sunny California weather. If the set. If we could have settled differently. Clay, you want to respond to this scholarly, I will say scholarly phone call.
Clay Travis
We received very good call from Houston. Here is my argument. If we had settled west to east, then their relationships with Asia would have been more paramount than our relationships with Europe ended up being. Now, that becomes complicated.
Buck Sexton
A lot, a lot bigger, a lot more time to traverse. So that would have been far more complicated. But. Okay, I'll let you keep rolling on.
Clay Travis
This second part of this. He is correct. I am a nerd about transportation. There are a lot of things that I care way too much about that embarrass my kids and my wife when it comes to just nerdy things. I am like James, where I will drive through a city and I will regularly talk to my kids about two things that drive them crazy. One is transportation and why cities exist where they are. And it is correct. The rivers and streams were the initial highways of America. And typically many of our cities now, which people don't think about were located in. In places where ships could easily pull up and disgorge their goods. Right. So I lived in the Caribbean, for instance. For any of you that have ever been to St. Thomas, U.S. virgin Islands. I'm still a licensed attorney there as well.
Buck Sexton
You get into trouble. Place should be your first, your, your, your first call at St. Thomas.
Clay Travis
I would be an amazing St. Thomas lawyer. If you pull in and you pull in there at a cruise ship, it's kind of crazy. The reason why St. Thomas is a popular Caribbean destination to this day is because it has a natural deep water port that is you're able to pull in a ship and go right up to the water and take off all of the goods on that ship. It's actually very rare. If you think about it. Most places like the land slopes down very gradually. It's how a beach would work, right. Like you come in and. Or it's right up against a rock formation in St. Thomas. The reason why it's still a popular port in the Caribbean to this day for Carnival, Carnival cruise ships, Royal Caribbean, whatever else, is because you can pull a huge cruise ship up and actually disembark right on the land. Very rare. Doesn't exist very many places. That is also why New York City is popular today as it is as a harbor. That is why Charleston is popular. These places along the coast had more access to ships. So our caller, this is probably again, I think about this a great deal. Embarrassingly such. The caller is not wrong. However, if you think about when we finally got to the west, it was not until basically the railroad era, really.
Buck Sexton
Yeah, you needed trains. You needed trains. But this goes to. I think his. First of all, I like how excited about geography nerdom you're getting here because I.
Clay Travis
And transportation and shipping costs and all of these things.
Buck Sexton
Love the, love the geography. The issue that you would have if California and the west coast had been settled first, I think is first starting off Asia, the Pacific, far bigger, more complicated, more time consuming just in terms of transport than getting from Europe to here. Right? But put that aside. Put that aside. Now we're talking about the landmass. The. And I know some of you are like, buck, why are you taking shots at Tennessee's river? We have the Tennessee river, the Cumberland River. I know, but I just wanted to poke at Clay for a second because he was talking.
Clay Travis
We haven't beloved. We have a great river network in the state of Tennessee. Quite, quite fond of our river network.
Buck Sexton
The, the original before they, before the locomotive comes along. Right. The most important things for. For commerce by far. Not even close really. All commerce in essence. I mean, all meaningful tonnage of commerce. When you're looking at tonnage, it has to be via rivers. This is why the Hudson river, which is now just a place that people think is pretty in New York and the Hudson Valley. Hudson river was the most important waterway in, in the early era of this. Of North America by far. Right. Which is why West Point and Benedict Arnold and all that was so important as well. Because if you could have cut off access the Hudson river, you would have maybe been able to end the, end the war. The, the War, the insurrection if you will, against the British. And then you get into the Great Lakes, the Great Lakes which because of the Canal.
Clay Travis
Erie Canal.
Buck Sexton
Erie Canal. And then gets us into Chicago. Chicago, named for I think an Algonquin word for stinky onion. Chicago. And the Mississippi River Basin. A lot I don't, I was going to get there and then you get. The Louisiana Purchase in the Mississippi river basin is probably the most impressive. It's like God's or you know, God slash nature's. Same thing highway system that we inherited with the Louisiana Purchase which is the most impressive system of rivers. I mean you've got some pretty good stuff in Europe too. But our navigable rivers because of the Mississippi river basin were incredible for commerce and allowed for the phase settlement of this, of this country to be as successful as it was.
Clay Travis
And the Lewis and Clark expedition which I have argued should be a program and would immediately become the most popular show in America if they would make it. And I've been arguing that for four years on this program. Buck. The entire purpose of the Lewis and Clark expedition from a business perspective other than mapping and checking flora, fauna and different animals is, was to see if there was a way to go across the entire continent and access the Pacific Ocean. Was there a major river that could act as a highway. Now back to James's point.
Buck Sexton
Yeah, wait, wait, wait. I got something on James's point too though. Clay to your, to your theory though. Just throwing it out there, Mr. Flip Flops. California, so nice. You're an early settler, pre railroad for railroads. Change the game, right? You're a pre railroad, you're in California. It's all beautiful and nice. What happens when you find yourself in Nevada, no offense, Nevada not throwing shade. What happens when you're in the desert surrounded by rattlesnakes and Gila monsters in Arizona? You know like this is would have been, this would have been tough not sledding because it's not sledding.
Clay Travis
You know what I mean?
Buck Sexton
This would have been a way to go.
Clay Travis
That's my argument. You would turn back and be like why would I leave the Garden of Eden? You would stay on the west coast. But by the time we got to settling the west coast and I'm leaving aside the Oregon Trail and all of that era, we had moved to caller James's point from a predominantly ocean and ship based commerce system to the transcontinental railroad which then became at that point in time around, you know, the 1860s during the Civil War, the railroad system took over to such an extent that Whether you had a railroad stop became the foundation of your city's success. Such that we have a lot of cities then that grew up that were not necessarily located on rivers and streams that were the primary source of distribution. So you end up with a lot of different cities that have blown up in an era where the railroad was the primary transportation and communication hub. So I think by the time we got all the way to the east coast, my point is it would have been a situation where the railroad would have become more predominant than the rivers and streams.
Buck Sexton
Well, I agree with James from Houston. So now I'm going to throw something else your way. And we just want to get some of you fired up over this. I remember there was a conversation we had on this show where Clay and I actually agreed. I like it when I get to disagree with him and we get to fight it out on the air, but I actually agree with him that the expectation that most people have that you should be picked up from the airport in the era of Uber, especially in major metropolitan areas. Yeah, I agree with Clay. I'm like, this is, you know, my family just came to visit. I was like, great, take an Uber. I'm happy to send the Uber for anyone happy to set it up. It's not that. But don't make me drive in rush hour traffic in Miami to the airport and then drive in rush hour because there's nothing but traffic here when it's rush hour. Just like a lot of other. You want to go to JFK airport in New York at the wrong time. You know, I hope you brought some snacks because you're going to be on. On that highway trying to get yourself the airport for about two hours. Ok? It's a nightmare. All right. That was something that a lot of you disagree with us on. That's fine. That was. Anyone who agreed with us was right. Who disagree was wrong, Clay. More than a third of people, according to the New York Post here and new data that has been put out of a poll of 2,000 adults. So they really, they decided to really go after this with a new study. A third of people, 38% hate being asked to move. Right. So moving by either family or friends to move your residence to move your domicile, 38%. I just want to throw this out there, Clay. If I had a choice between you calling me and saying, hey, buddy, I need help moving, or hey, buddy, don't tell Lara, I'm stuck in Tijuana and I need you to come and bribe the police to get me out of Here before anyone finds out, I think I'm taking door number two. Moving is the absolute worst. And unless you are an immediate family member or romantically involved with somebody, I think asking them to help you move is just going way too far. I think there's, there's reasons why we got moving companies.
Clay Travis
This is a good test for how pretty the girl is or how much the guy likes you. Because there is no guy who's like yeah, you know what I want to spend Saturday Sunday doing? Moving a bunch of stuff from one apartment to another in a city. I have been in this situation college age, a lot of you have where you're in your 20s and you're moving from one place to another. We just carry stuff across Washington D.C. because it's so expensive to rent moving vans that we would just, I remember carrying multiple mattresses just from one side of D.C. to another on the street with like just a couple of guys like hey, we're just gonna throw this in, you know, like we're literally gonna carry this rather than try to move it. I agree completely that this is bad. I think it's probably the number one thing that people ask for you to do and you're like, you probably.
Buck Sexton
Have you ever been asked to help somebody move and you're just like sorry, hard pass, can't do it.
Clay Travis
I haven't been asked since. You know it's funny is we're in the process of moving and it's going to take like eight months. I have no idea when the new house is going to be done. But I am already thinking my boys, my two oldest, the 17 and 14 year old. I'm like these guys should be carrying everything now. They're the ones who are always doing push ups. They're trying to impress girls by getting in shape. I've been married 21 years, I'm getting to be an old guy. They should be in charge between the two of them now of moving everything. I'm starting to feel a little bit like a farmer. Buck, remember back in the day you had a lot of kids cause you just needed labor at the farm. I, we don't have a farm. But for the move process I think I'm going to put the Travis boys to work and do your boys do.
Buck Sexton
Daily chores or daily chores something that you assign them or not really.
Clay Travis
They. So to their credit they are really good kids and they spend way more time at school than we ever. I don't know about you. They leave at 6am and they do not get home at the end of the day, some days till like 6:30 or 7:00 clock at night because they have so many different obligations at school. I think we layer more stuff on kids now than we did then. So they have obligations around the house, but they're not massively substantial. And my wife would say if she were listening right now that the misery of being a mom of three boys who are two teenagers and me, who is probably the one that she would say is the most difficult is she basically lives in a frat house. And like all frat houses, my boys basically live in a pigsty all the time. So there is pizza boxes everywhere, there are potato chip bags. The beer obviously is not started, but I told my wife's joking with my wife the other day, I was like, you never wanted to. You know, no girl ever wants when she walks into a frat house. They're never like, oh, this is amazing. You know, sorority house is really nice. Pretty well kept. Frat houses are all just dinghy dumps. She now lives in a frat house because the boys are messes. And then the. You layer it on with me.
Buck Sexton
I'll put this out there for any of you. What are the rules for who you can or you should or should not ask to help you move? Do you agree with me that it is immediate family love interest and that is it? Or would you ask a good buddy? Ok, like I said, Clay tells me that he's in prison in Beijing. He's a tourist over there and he needs me to make calls to the State Department, fly over, do a little, you know, hostage trade. Fine. Clay says I need you to help me move Buck. I don't know. Jesse Kelly's tall. He's probably got good leverage. Call him like, I just think the rules here need to be pretty clear.
Clay Travis
Great. Email here from Jennings. Jennings says, Buck, friends help you move. Real friends help you move bodies.
Buck Sexton
Whoa, whoa.
Clay Travis
Ok. That is when you know you got somebody who's in your. In your proverbial foxhole. You show up with a dead body. You're like, hey, I got to move something. You're like what are you moving to a new apartment. No dead body and they grab a shovel. That's how you become an accomplice and spend the rest of your life in prison too. If you get caught.

Buck Sexton
Sunday Hang with Clay and Buck. I think our audience in general, I think our wonderful listeners are perhaps even nicer than we are because they both seem very, very decisive when it comes to picking up friends and family from the airport themselves. Which you and I were odd men out on that one. And also a lot of you I think have helped people move and not, not immediate family or a love interest. Right? Because the guys out there, you know, you know, you're a few months into dating a gallery like her. She says, can you help me move? The answer is yes, if you want to. If you want to, you know, get, get to the, get to the altar. So yeah man, I think that people, we just have very nice giving people who listen because they weren't like I wouldn't help somebody move. I think moving is one of the most stressful, annoying things you can possibly do. I've had to move over 10 times as an adult. I moved an apartment from D.C. to New York and drove the, drove the U Haul all by myself one time which was a quite so. It did all the moving, all the packing, all the driving, all the unloading.
Clay Travis
How many times did you move in New York City from one apartment to another.
Buck Sexton
Oh, gosh, six or seven times at least. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, seven.
Clay Travis
That's just. That just is miserable to me. I mean, we're in the process of moving now, and I just. I need to just vanish and then just show up and everything's back in new places. Like, I. It's. It's a. It's my.
Buck Sexton
My tip for people with moving, for any of you who are thinking about or have to do it at some point. First of all, don't ever think of moving day as the day when the things happen. Moving day has to be the day that things just get moved. You want to start packing at least you ready for this at least a week in advance of the actual trucks, Whether you're driving the truck or someone else is driving the truck, whatever it may be. And you want to start with your closets. Start with the closets. Because I know a lot of you out there. You're like me.
Clay Travis
You're.
Buck Sexton
You're hoarders. You probably have lots of just books and things, and you stack them up in the closets and you have no idea how much stuff you've got.
Clay Travis
Well, Laura Travis, if she is listening, is definitely nodding because I don't even know when we're going to move. And we've already started the moving process. Like, I mean, the, the packing has begun and we may not even be out of this house for months. I know we're not going to be out of this house for months.
Buck Sexton
Very, very nice. You're like, I would help. I would help you and Clay move. You people, very nice. You people really are the best.
Clay Travis
Sundays with Clay and Buck.
Buck Sexton
Clay and Buck. I disagree. Hot girlfriend has to show up and be eye candy, encouragement to help you move. Don't expect her to carry anything. That's what your buddies are for. You're right. But she should at least help by showing up.
Clay Travis
This is spiraling out of the. For people who missed it earlier, one of our guys said that he broke up with his hot girlfriend because she wouldn't help him move. You and I disagreed with that decision. But Scott, I think an important analysis here.
Buck Sexton
Scott is saying if the hot girlfriend will show up in jean shorts and a tank top and encourage you, that's enough. I'm not going to disagree with Scott from South Carolina. I think if you get that from her, you're doing really well. But do not expect hot girlfriend when you're a guy. I know a lot of you haven't been single in a very long time. You do not. A guy does not expect hot girlfriend to carry heavy things on moving day. I'm sorry, it doesn't happen.
Clay Travis
I will say, Buck, this is like your Miami gym theory. If you have attractive people walking around, you work harder. Like, that is basically the entire theory of. Of the. Of the process. And this is also. It's the number one rule of bar life. The prettier the girls, the more money in general the bar is going to make. It's true. That's why they used to have ladies night, Right? I don't think they can do ladies night anymore because all the bars started getting sued for, you know, this. They started getting sued for equal protection violations because they were being discriminating on the basis of sex. So women can come in and drink for free or get in for free, and it turned into a lawsuit festival. I don't think they advertise ladies night hardly in any bars anymore because of that reason. Sunday drop with Clay and Buck. We have a lot of you weighing in on the moving story that Buck brought up yesterday. I will say right off the top, if I had to pick either me or my wife as a moving compartment padre companion, she's way better at moving and packing. Not as strong. That's the only advantage that I think I would have.
Buck Sexton
But she would probably say your wife not as strong.
Clay Travis
No, your wife is jacked.
Buck Sexton
She's like an an. She can lift 10 times her body weight.
Clay Travis
I've seen her for 110 pounds. Ish. My wife is very, very strong. But it is hard to be super strong at 110 pounds. But we got a couple of different people who want to weigh in quickly here at the end of the program. But she would also say, buck, I would break a lot more things. Marie from Florida wants to weigh in. Ee.
Marie from Florida
Hey, Clay and Buck.
Buck Sexton
It's Marie in Florida. And I just wanted to say that I also disagree with hot girl not having to help her boyfriend move. She should at least show up, drive the truck, make some kool aid, do something. I mean, that just shows what kind of a caring for reciprocal person you are. So from a female perspective, she should have at least participated and tried to act like she was going to carry a box. I'm going to say I like her. I like her thought process on this, Clay, but she's talking about future wifey girlfriend when you're just talking about hot girl girlfriend. I don't know if she shows up for anything, but there's some. There's a lesson there.
Clay Travis
Sunday sizzle with Clay and Buck.
Buck Sexton
See, we had a call or actually was a talk back and he. And he said that he broke up with his hot. Too hot for him. He said, like too hot to be dating him. But, you know, sometimes we get lucky in life. All guys can hope. My wife is too hot for me, but she married me, so I'm pleased, you know, I'll take it. But too hot for him didn't help him move. He broke up with her. I got. I got Carol Markowitz and Lisa Booth Clay fired up about this. Remember, they're on the Clay and Buck podcast network, so go subscribe. They both do. Lisa Booth, Carol Markowitz do great shows. Listen to them this weekend for all the latest ladies out there. By the way, two of the best hosts in the business of podcasting, Lisa and Carol. Subscribe to Clay and Buck network. Let's start with weighing in on should your hot girlfriend help you move controversy. We'll start with Carol Markowitz. Hit it. Oh, start with Lisa. Start with Lisa.
Marie from Florida
Carol Markowitz from the Carol Markowitz Show. And normally. So my first instinct is that no girlfriend, hot or not, should help you move. It's just not our department. I'm big on heteronormative division of labor. Help you decorate when you move in? Sure. Even help you unpack. Okay. But carry heavy boxes. That's what your guy friends are for. Having said that, when you're in your 20s, anything goes. I definitely helped boyfriends move at that age. But if you are looking for that more traditional setup as you get older, where men do the heavy, yucky stuff and kill bugs along the way, while women care for the home, cook, take care of the children, and generally coordinate life, then you start that kind of thing early on. And the hot girlfriend did nothing wrong.
Buck Sexton
Carol weighed in. What do you think?
Clay Travis
I think Carol should read every book. I don't know that anybody has a better voice than Carol. I mean, I know NPR is getting unfunded, but they should actually have Carol doing their updates at the end of every hour because she has perfect voice. I will hear from others. Look, I think that if you need your girlfriend to help you carry a heavy box, your masculinity is in question.
Buck Sexton
You were probably a white guy for Kamala.
Clay Travis
Yes. You were probably a white dude for Harris. If you need. If you need help carrying boxes by your girlfriend because she may be stronger than you and have a bigger penis.
Buck Sexton
This is an I heart podcast.
The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show – Sunday Hang with Clay and Buck (July 6, 2025)
Hosted by Clay Travis and Buck Sexton, The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show delves into the pressing issues of news, politics, and current events with a blend of intelligence and humor. In the July 6, 2025 episode titled "Sunday Hang," Clay and Buck engage in lively discussions, addressing geographical settlement patterns in the United States and the social dynamics of assisting loved ones with moving.
Initial Debate: The episode kicks off with Clay Travis making a provocative statement about the preference for west coast settlement over the northeast. He remarks, "So funny what people get fired up about. Northeast people are fired up because I said nobody would live there if we had settled west to east" (00:52). Buck Sexton immediately counters, expressing offense, "How dare you, southern fellow. How dare you" (01:00).
Listener Calls:
Henry from Syracuse, New York (01:18): Henry challenges Clay's theory by emphasizing the abundance of fresh water in upstate New York, suggesting that access to water resources is a more critical factor for settlement than mere geographic preference. He states, "You don't mess with my upstate New York fam and think that you're going to get away with that, Mr. Tennessee."
James from Houston, Texas (02:10): James supports Henry's viewpoint, arguing that historical commerce and trade, particularly access to waterways, have been paramount in determining population centers. He highlights cities like Chicago, Houston, and New Orleans, pointing out their strategic locations for trade and transportation. James remarks, "Through history, commerce and trade has determined where population cities are. If we were still trading with Europe, east would be the place people would live."
Clay's Counterarguments: Clay acknowledges the importance of waterways but shifts the focus to modern developments, such as the rise of railroads, which altered settlement dynamics. He elaborates on historical expeditions like Lewis and Clark, emphasizing the pursuit of efficient transportation routes to the Pacific Ocean. At 03:50, Clay posits, "If we had settled west to east, then their relationships with Asia would have been more paramount than our relationships with Europe ended up being."
Buck's Rebuttal: Buck reinforces the significance of transportation advancements, stating, "The entire purpose of the Lewis and Clark expedition from a business perspective...was to see if there was a major river that could act as a highway." He underscores how the advent of the transcontinental railroad shifted the foundation of city growth from waterways to rail hubs, leading to the emergence of cities independent of river access.
Transition to Social Dynamics: Shifting gears, Clay and Buck delve into the contentious topic of whether it's appropriate to ask a girlfriend to assist with moving. Buck introduces the subject by sharing a poll result: "A third of people, 38% hate being asked to move your residence," referencing a study from the New York Post (12:00).
Personal Experiences:
Buck's Perspective (13:05): Buck shares his aversion to helping others move, recounting his own numerous moves and the stress associated with them. He advises, "Unless you are an immediate family member or romantically involved with somebody, I think asking them to help you move is just going way too far."
Clay's Take (14:03): Clay concurs, adding humorously, "This is a good test for how pretty the girl is or how much the guy likes you." He discusses delegating moving responsibilities to his teenage sons, highlighting the practical aspects of family dynamics.
Audience Engagement:
Marie from Florida (23:54): Marie offers a female perspective, emphasizing reciprocity in relationships. She asserts, "From a female perspective, she should have at least participated and tried to act like she was going to carry a box."
Carol Markowitz (25:28): Representing the Clay and Buck podcast network, Carol articulates a traditional view: "I am big on heteronormative division of labor. Help you decorate when you move in? Sure. Even help you unpack. But carry heavy boxes. That's what your guy friends are for." She advocates for clear role divisions, especially in more traditional setups.
Final Thoughts: Clay and Buck conclude the segment by reinforcing their stance that while emotional support from a girlfriend is valuable, the physical labor of moving is best left to friends. Clay humorously ties this back to societal norms and expectations, while Buck emphasizes practicality and personal boundaries in relationships.
Clay Travis: "If we had settled west to east, then their relationships with Asia would have been more paramount than our relationships with Europe ended up being." (03:50)
Buck Sexton: "Through history, commerce and trade has determined where population cities are. If we were still trading with Europe, east would be the place people would live." (02:10)
Marie from Florida: "From a female perspective, she should have at least participated and tried to act like she was going to carry a box." (23:54)
Carol Markowitz: "Help you decorate when you move in? Sure. Even help you unpack. But carry heavy boxes. That's what your guy friends are for." (25:28)
