Buck Sexton
Sunday Hang is brought to you by.
Clay Travis
Chalk Natural Supplements for Guys gals and nothing in between. Fuel your day@chalk.com Bold, reverent and occasionally random. The Sunday Hang with Clay and Buck Podcast starts now. I jumped in this morning and I'm doing my prep and I see a bevy of awesome, awesome Buck talkbacks relating to what may be called the La Fare Polish Sausage.
Buck Sexton
Oh my God, look.
Clay Travis
The Polish sausage.
Buck Sexton
They're delicious. I don't know what to tell you. They taste great.
Clay Travis
This is Cord bb. He's got a question. Fire away.
Buck Sexton
Messages for Clay Clay, can you opine.
Clay Travis
On how Buck set his freshman year.
Buck Sexton
Roommate introduced them to his pole sausage last week?
Clay Travis
Guys are doing a good job. Thanks all right, let's just. That is Cord.
Buck Sexton
He's throwing gasoline onto the fire there, buddy.
Clay Travis
You know, here is Doug in Kentucky. He's also got some Polish sausage. Feedback.
Buck Sexton
Hey, Buck. Doug from Louisville, Kentucky.
Clay Travis
Gotta tell you, I'm.
Buck Sexton
I'm interested in the story of your introduction to the Polish sausage from your friend. Feel like there's a story there, you know, I mean, Clay's not afraid to tell us, you know, intimate details of his experiences. And, you know, I. I'd like to know more. I'm sure many of us would.
Clay Travis
When did you recognize. Who was the first person to recognize the phrasing on your Polish?
Buck Sexton
Our entire. Our entire radio team in real time, laughing at me in the studio. My. I had a roommate from Will Met, okay, Which I've never been to, and. And he found out that I had never tried Polish sausage.
Clay Travis
I don't even know if you're gonna be able to tell this story.
Buck Sexton
His parents. This is a real thing. His parents sent a big box of Polish. Polish sausage to us at Amherst. And so we were all sitting around.
Clay Travis
This one time at band camp. This one. I'm a band camp. So the whole staff. I don't. I don't know. I would have kept a straight face when. When this. When this story.
Buck Sexton
Well, they didn't keep a straight face, Clay, so you're not alone there. Neither could I. But now the audience is all, can we celebrate Trump's world peace here, please? All right, we could talk about.
Clay Travis
Maybe we could deli the president for some Polish sausages just to have a really big festive experience. We'll grab a clip. By the way, President Trump has said that Columbus Day is back and all the Italian people are celebrating still. One of Buck. The best of all the Sopranos, in terms of just pure entertainment, was when they got fired up over the banning of Columbus Day. Do you remember that, Sopranos?
Buck Sexton
Columbus is a hero in this house. Yeah, of course. Of course I remember that. Something else, by the way, I didn't get to tell you. I made a trip through. I had some conversations with friends in the Pentagon, Clay, when I was in D.C. yesterday, the day before, I can't remember now. And you look around, you know what it says on the. On the E Ring level of the Pentagon and all these offices. Department of War, they've already changed it.
Clay Travis
So, I mean, Department of War to win, like the 1940s. Yes. I mean, through World War II, it.
Buck Sexton
Was the War Department. I guess they changed it part of maybe the national security Act in 1948. Or something.
Clay Travis
Yeah, I never really thought about it much, but as secretary of War, obviously during the Civil War and everything else was commonplace. Sunday, hang with Clay and Buck.
Buck Sexton
I want to tell you to drink some Crockett coffee. Go to crockettcoffee.com a lot of you drink coffee, but some of you are not drinking Crockett coffee. I'm like, why? Our coffee tastes better. It's more about history in America. It's a cooler brand. And 10% of our profits goes to Tulip, the Towers Foundation. And if you subscribe now, you'll get the emails about Clay's exciting book, Balls B A, All B A L, L S, which is coming out in about a month.
Clay Travis
So that's.
Buck Sexton
That's very, very exciting. So we will be discussing Balls quite a lot on this show, and so look forward to that. But go to crockettcoffee.com, get some. Get some coffee there. All kinds of delicious stuff. Go subscribe. Trucker down.
Clay Travis
You got to be more careful on some of your phrasing, I see, when I didn't expect you to come out as gay.
Buck Sexton
We don't have to discuss the Polish sausage incident of October 2025. We don't have to discuss this. OK. You are out, buddy. All right? So that's off limits. What happens when Clay's out stays where it happens.
Clay Travis
I was not expecting to look down at my phone and see that Buck was talking about his roommate, introducing him to Polish soccer. I.
Buck Sexton
My mentions. My mentions all of a sudden got very feisty, and I was like, oh, God, here we go.
Clay Travis
I was shopping with my wife, Lara. I looked down at my phone and. And I just couldn't stop laughing. I'm in a, you know, women's clothing store. First of all, awkward for any man to just. If you're. You're not even able to go to the corner of the store where there might be four men's shirts. Like, this store didn't even pretend that they cared about men at all. So I'm already just kind of walking around awkwardly in there, and then I just start giggling like a. Like a schoolboy.
Buck Sexton
They didn't have a husband chair for you. The smart stores always have the husband chair.
Clay Travis
You know, where you sit.
Buck Sexton
It's pretty comfy, too, if they're. If they know what they're doing.
Clay Travis
I was looking for the husband chair, but the husband chair had boxes in it because they had recently gotten a shipment. So I'm just standing around awkwardly. You know, every woman's like, you're in the way. You can't even find the place in the store where you can go and not be in the way of everyone else. And. And I'm just standing there giggling at your Polish sausage commentary. So. So that was my. I guess that was what, Tuesday when you confessed your Polish sausage love.
Buck Sexton
Fond of. Fond of Chicago. Fond of Chicago. Trucker Don in St. Louis. Bail us out. What have you got for us from the road?
Clay Travis
Hi guys. Thank you for taking my call. I appreciate it. Great show as usual. You guys are the best. I First of all, Clay, I feel your pain. I went to go to the Trump rally on the Harry Truman this weekend with my son and because I didn't have a star on my license, I was not allowed in. So this is the real ID people out there. There's a small contingent of us. Like we just can't get in places where you're expected to be able to get in.
Buck Sexton
Civilization requires adhering to rules, gentlemen. We floridians have real IDs. You Tennesseans need to get on the bandwagon.
Clay Travis
It's unbelievable. At some point I'm gonna have to go to the DMV to get my star. When we come back, Buck, maybe you can confess your love of other sausage.

Sunday drop with Clay and Buck. Columbus Day, it was been attacked as indigenous peoples day. We mentioned this earlier on the Sopranos. For those of you who watch, there was an episode where Tony wanted to defend Christopher Columbus. Let's have a little fun. Here's that clip.
Buck Sexton
He discovered America is what he did. He was a brave Italian explorer. And in this house, Christopher Columbus is a hero. End of story.
Clay Travis
But Donald Trump agrees. Buck, this just happened in the White House. Cut 36, I believe. TRUMP announcing that Columbus Day is still Columbus Day.
Buck Sexton
In other words, we're calling it Columbus Day. That was the press that broke out in the clause.
Clay Travis
That was.
Buck Sexton
Can you believe that? I've never seen that happen before. The press, the press actually broke out in applause.
Clay Travis
Good.
Buck Sexton
Columbus Day, we're back. Columbus Day, were back. Italians, we love the Italians. We love the Italians and the Polish and many others. Some people are saying, I would just say Clay, I guess we're just not concerned anymore with what Columbus's stance on trans rights and climate change was. It's a little, I feel a little microaggression here. A little triggered perhaps. Where was Columbus on these key issues?
Clay Travis
It is interesting, isn't it, that all of the tear down the statue people have just suddenly vanished. There's almost no discussion about it at all. I haven't. When's the last time you saw someone try to tear down a statue?
Buck Sexton
It was all pure mass formation. It was mass psychosis. It was the topic from my book coming out in January, Manufacturing delusion. That's what it was. So that is. You like that? That was. That was cool. Like the other side of the pillow. Yeah, that's. That's the truth of it though, Clay. It's just people were caught up in, in their own rage and nonsense because pulling down the statues and all this stuff that they were saying, Remember it got to the point where they were pulling down Abraham Lincoln statues. It just didn't even matter anymore. They just wanted to. What does Michael Caine say in Batman? He's like, some men just want to see the world burn. You know, he just kind of says that. And they just wanted to see the world burn. That's what it was.
Clay Travis
I don't even know if I can read this joke from a Polish man. I'm going to read it.
Buck Sexton
I mean, you're Clay Travis. People still like, did he really say this? I think it's funny. I'm supposed to be like your keeper, you know, like I'm supposed to keep you from getting outside the bars of the cage and going wild on the visitors.
Clay Travis
This is, this is a Polish man. But my father in law, Larry Kornacki, who passed last year, also a Polish man, he would love this joke. So I'm going to tell it in his honor. As a Polish man, I can tell this joke. This is not me. This is the Polish man, Michael, whose last name I can't even pronounce. What does a Polish man. This is a little. This is a double entendre, Buck, but it's a little.
Buck Sexton
Anyway.
Clay Travis
What does a Polish man give his wife on their wedding night that is long and hard? His last name. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. Very much borderline, but I think good. So if you're upset, that is Michael G. Whose last name I cannot read. And you can steal that one and you can.
Buck Sexton
I'm going to be reading. I'm going to be reading emails all weekend from our listener Ethel, who is going to be telling me that you need a timeout, sir. That you have, you have to be put in the corner, sir.
Clay Travis
I think, I think that was within the bounds. I think that was within the bounds. But I did pause for a minute, which maybe means it's not within bounds. Buck, you were back home for the first time in a very long time. Do you have any spectacular weekend plans or are you just going to kick up the feet and chill at your place?
Buck Sexton
I mean, I'm just. It's going to be PJs, Jimmy Speed, Ginger Spice and Wifey all weekend, man. It's just, it just lay in low. There's nothing better when you've been away from home. So taking it easy, maybe, you know, cooking up some steaks. That's about all I got. Not Polish sausage steaks.
Clay Travis
Not having the roommate come over and give you a Polish sausage instructions.
Buck Sexton
Not this time.
Clay Travis
What did Kerry think about the Polish sausage discussion?
Buck Sexton
Well, she knew about my. She knew about my Chicago based roommate and his culinary habits. So this was not some big surprise to her. I also had a roommate who used to eat brie. Like a, like a wedge of Brie, the way that you'd eat pizza. Like, he would just sit there. And I thought this was. He was really skinny, too. But imagine someone would hold like a triangular slice of pizza, but he would.
Clay Travis
Do that with Brie.
Buck Sexton
Oh, and just sit there eating it.
Clay Travis
Yeah, that sounds absolutely awful. Sundays with Clay and Box.
Buck Sexton
We got some VIP emails flooding our inbox, including this one Clay VIP email from Sherry Buck. I think you need glasses. Newsom doesn't look debonair. He looks smarmy. Well, I think you are trashing Clay Chardonnay, buddy, first and foremost, so that we need to put out there. And also, I'm not saying that I think Newsom is debonair. I'm saying that Newsom thinks that Newsom is a dashing and handsome and gallant fellow. Look, I mean, he's a. He's a pretty good looking guy. Let's not be weird here, okay? You could be good looking and still have terrible politics.
Clay Travis
Also, the standard is politicians. I mean, Chuck Schumer, no offense, I don't think anybody's like, let's go throw our panties in Chuck Schumer's direction. The standard of good looking politician is not necessarily super high.
Buck Sexton
And I'm just wondering about this. Casting no stones here. I got. I got a little chubby after I got married and, you know, had to. Had to fight. Had to fight that battle. So I'm very sympathetic. Pritzker, if he runs, does he stay heavy pee, you know, does he decide that he's gonna keep on doing what he's doing or does he do the, you know.
Clay Travis
No, I think. I think it's a Jonah Hill situation. Not that he's. Jonah Hill.
Buck Sexton
Might not recognize him. He could. He could lose probably 100 to 150 pounds. That's. That's kind of where Pritzker is. He would look. I really mean this. He would look like a different person to the point where I think it might almost be jarring to voters if he did that.
Clay Travis
I think that he sees his physical appearance as somehow more connective with the audience than it would be if he's skinny. It sounds crazy, but I think that's the way he's thinking. Speaking of crazy, Joy Behar. We have not heard producer Ali. Has the View responded to our gallant offer to appear on the show since they said we were too intimidated by all of the intelligent women on the program? That was the argument they made. No response has yet come from the View to our gallant offer to come.
Buck Sexton
On or our numerous offers to Cuomo.
Clay Travis
Cuomo no response to Cuomo either. We got some talk backs on that. Maybe I'll play that in a sec. But first, I want you all to hear Joy Behar talked, in an incredible coincidence, about choking to death today on the program. Listen, I mean, I don't know.
Buck Sexton
I wouldn't even let him give me a Heimlich maneuver. Yeah, that's how little I would I.
Clay Travis
Feel about people I don't know.
Advertisement Voice
Well, in a MAGA supporter is like.
Clay Travis
Calling you right now. I got it.
Buck Sexton
Somebody tell that MAGA man I'm not.
Advertisement Voice
Sleeping with you anymore.
Clay Travis
All right, so Joy Behar said she wouldn't let a Trump supporter give her the Heimlich. I would give Joy Behar the Heimlich. That's just how much of a gentleman I am. I wouldn't let her die on an endless shrimp special at Red Lobster. I would. I would save her life. Now you're a humanitarian. I am just too kind. Sunday sizzle with Clay and Buck. Buck has gotten the hippest haircut in the history of the show. He may. He may be announcing that he has joined a boy band in his spare time and will be on tour soon. I'm expecting him to have a big gold chain. Also on here, I. Buck, was. You were concerned that your hair was not fitting into the shot. So you have gone. My boys, my sons would describe this as a low taper fade of sorts. Like, this is a very popular haircut. I am describing it as the old man unk here. And I mean, again, Buck, you look like you're 24 years old. Now we're going to have a new audience.
Buck Sexton
I went into my neighborhood, joined here, my barbershop with my Cubans, my Cuban Americans, everyone there, everyone speaking only Spanish, except for me. I speak no Spanish. No habla espanol. These guys have tattoos all over their forearms, by the way. They look like all these soccer players that you see now that all have the sleeve tattoos. They got all the tattoos. They have all the cool haircuts. And I just said, you know what, man? Just do what you think will look cool. And here I am. So if you. If you are listening on the radio, millions of you on the radio, listening side, you should subscribe to our YouTube channel so you too can enjoy Clay's commentary slash gentle mockery of my very contemporary haircut that I got. But, you know, I just.
Clay Travis
It is a very good look. I mean, I'm telling you, when they put this up on the YouTube, which I'm told is popular with the kids, our Subscriber numbers are going to skyrocket, and you're going to have cachet and trust that you have never had before, because people are going to say, guy got that haircut. He can't be wrong on anything.
Buck Sexton
So I'm pretty sure they said in Spanish, let's make this guy look like he doesn't live in 1985. I think that's what they said. And they said something on Michael P. Keaton en Espanol. And I was like, okay, you guys just do your thing.
Clay Travis
And here we are.
Buck Sexton
Now I am muy caliente.
Clay Travis
Oh, I. I can even translate that. It's funny you were starting off with the Spanish. My wife was getting ready for bed last night and she heard the description that we had on the show of me talking about walking naked in front of the. In front of the windows down in the new house. And she is working to learn Spanish. And so she's taken Spanish for a long time, but she's been trying to get better at Spanish. And so she. She spoke as if she were one of the Hispanic construction workers. Displeased. I have no idea what she was saying about the fact that they had been exposed to my naked body. Because we don't have window treatments, which you and I were talking about off air as we get ready to roll here. Maybe the most expensive thing on the planet that before I was married, I had no idea would end up costing me what it does. Windows are the. I wet weddings and windows are maybe the two biggest unnecessary expenses that I've ever heard of in my life. I had no idea what it cost.
Buck Sexton
Carrie got multiple estimates for window treatments for our home here, and it was a hard. I was hard. No. Hard. No. It's a pass. I've heard enough. It's a no. The money they wanted for, like, very basic stuff, and I was all different. So that is what it costs, apparently, down here. But I just said rather just have nothing.
Clay Travis
It's everywhere. I mean, I think for $1,000, you should be able to have the greatest window covering of all time. And evidently that's an absurdly ridiculous idea. Makes me want to start my own cheap window treatments because it seems like it makes sense.
Buck Sexton
Wishing the holidays could come early. If you own or manage your they can.
