This is the best of with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. I'm going to take some flack here, Buck. Not about this. Oh, man. I was like, you're getting in the way of the steamroller, buddy. You're going to get flattened. Not stepping in front of the steamroller getting flattened. Maybe even broader, though. I think Christmas music's overplayed. I was out to dinner the other day. Sunday night went out to dinner and I could hear throughout the whole meal they were playing Christmas music. Now look, I used to work in retail back in the day, American Eagle Outfitters. May have heard of it, Abercrombie and Fitch. And I know because we would have our holiday medley and anybody who's ever worked in retail, it's the same track over and over and over again. But there is evidence to support that people buy more products when you play Christmas music. So I get it in a retail setting. I don't know that I need to hear it in elevators everywhere. I don't know that I need to hear it while I'm eating dinner. I would be very, very comfortable with, and I used to make jokes about this in sports talk radio. We would stop, we would only play Christmas music starting in December. I know we play a lot of Christmas music on this. Do you know we get beat in ratings now you and me and everybody out there who does talk radio? Every community in America. Christmas music goes to number one. We just get trounced and all they do is play jingle bells over and over and over again. So I feel like we're inundated, frankly, with too much holiday music. Does that make me sound like the Grinch? Or do you think most people agree with me that it's impossible to escape and we don't need as much?

No, I think you're going to get lit up over this one, buddy. I'm just going to step away from the blast radius. I love Santa Claus and all the Christmas cheer and music and everything else. I'm going. I'm going. I'm just telling you, ho, ho. I'm the Grinch. I'll own it. There's too much Christmas music in all facets of life. I don't need to hear it everywhere. I'll tell you this. I believe I've referred to it before as going Grinch or maybe other people have coined that and I just picked it up. I don't know, but that's what I say. I don't want. There are certain categories here. Children, yes, give them gifts, but not a ton of gifts. Okay, you shouldn't walk. Your living room should not look like a, you know, a Toys R Us after 500 kids have like rummaged through all the packaging or something. I guess Toys R Us even exists anymore. That used to be a, remember when toy stores were this weird, this thing and they had all this GI Joe's and He-Man made in China stuff. Toys R Us was incredible. They shut them all down. Remember KB Toys in the mall? Oh, yeah. They used to have KB Toys and Walden Books. When I was growing up, we had one toy store before the Toys R Us came to town. And we only had one bookstore for basically my whole life. We had Walden Books in the local mall. And those were everywhere. I don't think either of them exist anymore. I think Walden Books is gone. So, you know, there was a time when you had the, first of all, I've always hated the pressure of you got to get gifts for all these people, especially get gifts for people that maybe you don't know that well, whatever. Here's what I would say. You get gifts for kids. Under 18 in your family, you know, your kids, your own children, nieces, nephews, yes, you get the gifts. Like, we're going to get little speed gifts, although it's not like he can remember them. He's eight months old. But, you know, we do that. Fine. My little nieces and nephews, we give them gifts to. You know, and I'm going to tell you this. In this household, I contribute to niece and nephew college funds. That's what I, every year, I'm just like, I contribute. Now, I know that doesn't sound like. You know, like what Santa Claus would do. Let me tell you something. I do it every year. That is such an old man move, by the way. I'm not, I'm not this. You're too young to be doing college fund contributions for your needs. What are you actually? Actually, that is nonsense. I don't want all the financial planners out there. Where is Dave Ramsey when I need him? I need Dave Ramsey here. Dave would support my 529 plan contributions for my nieces and nephews. Are amazing. You're too young to be going straight in the college donations. I am wrapping myself in the mantle of Uncle Dave Ramsey on this one. He would totally approve. So I did the 529 plan contributions. And so there's that. And then obviously gifts.

bonuses, things like that. People you work with, people who work for you, whatever it is there. And really it's like money is really what people. They actually don't want some beige sweater. They actually just want money so they can have money in their bank account. They can do with what they want. I, we stopped doing presence among the adults in my immediate family at my, I wouldn't say demand, but I pretty much demanded this. I think. I don't know if my dad's listening. I think when he gave me a belt for the fourth year in a row. I was like he's not going to be happy with me telling this story. But I think when he gave me a belt four years in a row. How are the belts different? Or is it like different color belts? Was it like? Black leather belts, like maybe slightly different buckle on them. But he was just like, here you go, son. Like here's a belt. I was like, thank you. I'm going to add it to my belt collection. So which is all from you because I don't even really wear belts. So I will say that we decided as a family to get rid of that pressure to get things last minute. It is so great. It is such a nice, you know, you don't have to get to, just everyone just stop with this stuff. Christmas, for those of us who are Christians, Christmas is actually supposed to be about the celebration of something holy. It is about to be, it's supposed to be about the celebration as well of family and being together and reflecting on the year. It's really not supposed to be get me the GI Joe aircraft carrier, mommy, or you don't love me. Like that's not what it's, and it's not supposed to be, hey, Uncle Phil. Thanks for bringing me these socks with tree frogs on them. It's what I've always wanted. Like, no, we don't need to do this. Here's where I will co-sign. And now this is going to make me sound really grinchy. I don't think anybody over the age of 18 should get gifts for Christmas. Yes. I think you should only get gifts for kids. Santa, that's fun. I don't even know you need to go to 18, but let's say to 18. After that, like, I don't like, I'm not super excited to open gifts. I'm not super. have zero interest in buying. Can I add to what you're saying? Because obviously you appreciate this. You see what I see. Also, Clay, we all walk around now. 20 years ago, it was different. You know, if you really wanted that thing from the sharper image, you had to get out, remember that guy's the sharper image? You had to get out that catalog. You had to order it. It had to arrive. It took 10 days or a month or whatever. I can get anything I want delivered tomorrow. I actually don't want for any material thing in a way that someone's going to give it to me for. And, you know, Carrie is so funny. She's just like, well, shouldn't I get you? I'm like, no, honey, I love you. Don't, don't buy me an expensive watch with my own money. Like, I've got it. I'm fine. Like, I don't need that. I don't want that. I'm wearing a rubber wedding ring right now because I can't even find my wedding ring, which is driving me nuts. So that's where we are.

I agree with all that. We probably have destroyed 80% of the Christmas holiday spirit out there in this segment. Yeah, except for our sponsors, Christmas gifts are plenty. That's where you got to go. Don't ever forget that. Jasmine Crockett coffee. Love to get you coffee for Christmas because you need that. No, but I just really mean the gifts for immediate family members that, you know, come on. I am sold on. Only kids should get Christmas gifts. I think it would be a revolutionary thing that would actually be super beneficial to the country, not to mention the number of men that just get blown up every year because they're like your dad buying belts because they have no idea what to get people. I mean, what do you get to your point? Do you know how many wallets I had amassed over the years from my dad giving me a wallet? Ties. I mean, every dad out there ties. Even moms. Like, where's that great Saturday Night Live skit that they did, which was actually very funny and mom got a robe? Do you remember that? Like, it's a great song, you know, like, because mom's responsible for buying gifts for everybody. And then every year she gets a coffee mug or a robe or whatever it is. Uh, yeah. What God started in my life, he's going to finish. The Joel Osteen Daily Podcast. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life.

Clay Travis with the Clay and Buck Show, wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas and happy New Year. Buck Sexton here. The entire Clay and Buck Show wish you and your family a warm Christmas season and a joyful new year. You're listening to The Best of Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. You know, welcome back in here to Clay and Buck. Clay's in a new studio space, but I don't think what I'm seeing relates to the studio. And in fact, I think there's a special light around his head, sort of like a halo. We have the team. We thought maybe after his meeting with the Pope, Clay should have his own intro and theme music. Listen up, everybody.

Clay, now that you have been blessed by His Holiness the Pope himself in person, what wisdom, what insights do you have to share with all of us here? I've never gotten to meet the Pope. I'm quite jealous. Go ahead. Tell me about this. Well, I'm quite godly, as everyone who regularly listens this program already knew. So this is just a further... We can cut the theme music. Thanks, guys. This is just a further endorsement of that. I just have to say, first of all, to Ambassador Brian Birch of the Holy See and Tillman Fertita, who is running, who is the ambassador of Italy. We had dinner with them. They set this all up. And it's rare when you just have an awesome story, which is my law school buddy who now owns the Chicago White Sox invited the Pope to throw out the first pitch at a proposed new stadium that they're working on. And I think Buck, as a result of us all pulling together and doing this, setting up this meeting, getting this done, he and I talked about this a while back. He said, hey, how should I introduce myself? And I said, well, we should get the Pope to throw out the first pitch at your brand new baseball stadium. And now he's conveyed the offer. The Pope has said that he wants to do it. He's a big White Sox fan. And I just think it's a super awesome story, regardless of what the background is, the idea, Buck, if I had told you last year, hey, we're going to have an American Pope. And he's just going to be a normal dude from the south side of Chicago in many ways. And he's going to be a huge. sports fan of the White Sox and he's going to show up and throw out the first pitch in a few years at a new stadium. And I got to be a part of trying to help set that up. I mean, that's a ridiculous story that all came together. The Holy Father didn't ask for a signed copy of balls. Somebody asked if I was going to take the Holy Father a copy of balls. And even I, who am shameless when it comes to self-promotion, was like, I don't think the Holy Father needs to be getting a copy of balls for me. It's amazing. I'm not sure. You know, Clay with the halo in his head currently doing the show. It's impressive to see. Have you toured the Vatican before? Have you taken like that? Yeah, I'm just going to say it. It's going to sound a little frou-frou, but my eighth grade class trip was to Italy. So there you go. Oh, wow. Well, I had never been to Italy until a couple of years ago. I was out last week, super secret move, got to go set up a meeting with the Pope, got to hang out with the Embath. It was an awesome trip. We got to tour the Vatican buck after hours. And so we were the only people in the Sistine Chapel, which if you, I've been before, there's usually hundreds of people. And we got a special tour going through the Vatican. It was, it was awesome. The number of maps that they have in the Vatican, you know, one of the things that the Vatican used to be so powerful for, for those of you out there that are history nerds like both Buck and myself are, if you study history, one of the things that was the most valuable back in the day was accurate maps, particularly of the new world. And that was considered to be basically the state secrets of the era.

How do you get to the Spice Islands? I love that whole area, that whole era, the age of exploration. We got to go tour and see a bunch of maps, Buck, that were made almost immediately upon Columbus's discovery of America and being able to look at those maps that were drafted in the 1490s that they kept in the Vatican or that the Vatican eventually had ended up in control of. Think about how valuable that asset was. The maps of the world in many ways were the most valuable intelligence of that era. So since we're just totally nerding out here, Clay, my official genealogist who did this whole family thing. My son's name is Speed. It's because Speed is a family name. The Speed Museum in Kentucky, by the way, the same line. And we are very much descendants of that. So actually, Kentuckian on one side. There you go. Something new for people. And John Speed, who was the chief cartographer for Queen Elizabeth I in the early 1600s, is a direct descendant. And his descendants that came to America became the Speed slash. Sexton family. So my son is named for a guy who made really good maps for the Queen of England in the early 1600s. Boom. That's all around. That's a heck of a connection. I just, it was an amazing trip. And I think I said this when we came back. The first time I went to Italy a couple of years ago, we also got to go to tour. What I think is maybe the most, I mean, look, there are tons of incredible parts of Italy. We're in the Coliseum, which is for someone who is a fan of sports, I mean, basically. The beginning and the foundation of every aspect of the entire sports industry. They used to feed Christians to the lions there, though, St. Clay, so we don't like that part of it. A little bit of a downside potentially associated there. That's the part that everyone always leaves out about Marcus Aurelius, by the way. Oh, he was stoic in the meditations. Meditations, a little self-indulgent, if you ask me. And also this guy was a huge persecutor of the Christians, and his son Combinus was a psycho. And so he wasn't a very good dad either. So maybe everybody should stop getting all their lessons from the Stoics. I'm just throwing it out there. I haven't ever read the meditations of Marcus Aurelius. It's actually on my list. Did you read it? Yeah, of course. I mean, it's a lot. It's a lot of. I don't even get me started. Meditations is philosophy for people who don't want to actually put too much work into philosophy, all right? That sounds like me. Sounds like me, honestly.

Bill Clinton's favorite. Bill Clinton was quoted as saying, I think it was his favorite thing ever written. I'm like, yeah, no surprise. Leaves plenty of time to chase ladies, not spend a lot of time actually studying. I think if you told me, hey, you're going to have to spend a lot of time in a philosophy class, I would, that does not sound like something that I would want to do. But what I was going to say also is, I think the coolest, maybe the most amazing building. is the Pantheon, which is roughly 2,000 years old. And every time I have the opportunity to tour a place like that, I can't help but think just how incredibly young this nation is. When you think about it in the context of Greece, Rome, certainly last year I was over in Israel, you know, the things that we consider to be super old here are a pinprick of time. in much of the quote unquote old world. So I hope people get the opportunity to go over there. Thank you to the Vatican Ambassador Brian Birch and Italy's ambassador Tillman Fertita. We had great times with they and their families. Awesome people. Great choices by the Trump administration. You're enjoying the best of program with Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. We have Isabel Brown with us. She is the host of the Isabel Brown show on all social platforms or Daily Wire. Plus, Isabel, I think first time we've had you on radio, but you and I go way back from the... The first TV and the digital days. How are you doing? Doing fantastic. So excited to be here. I actually think I have been on once if memory serves a year and a half plus ago right before the release of my book. And it's crazy how much life has changed since then. So it's great to be back. Fantastic to have you back. Your memory is better than mine, which is not surprising because I'm about to be 44 years old. So I am getting more forgetful. So welcome back. It's been 18 months. We should have had you back sooner, but here we are. I hope the book was fantastic, by the way. So just take us into the scene a little bit here. 10 years ago, I used to do CNN. It's been a long time now. It's basically been about 10 years since I've done CNN. You were on CNN last night. We'll play. Oh, we have the cut for everybody. So what is the show? You can tell everybody what this one is. This was Abby Phillips panel show that runs during the 10 p.m. hour. And boy, it was pretty spicy last night. I got to tell you. Yeah, yeah. So let's let's let everyone here just a little taste, a little snippet here. This is cut 27 playing. You can speculate all you want, but the authorities who are charging this guy haven't laid out a motive. That's all I've said. The other thing is that, no, I'm not suggesting. that he was tied to stop the steel. But I'm not sure why you think that that would be some kind of... Right. So it's a... It's called a hypothetical. Right. So it's called a hypothetical. Had he been prosecuted alongside all of those other people who were involved in violent acts on January 6th, would Donald Trump have pardoned him? No, because individuals who walked into the Capitol building on January 6th were not planting pipe bombs that both the DNC and the... What about the ones that used the American flag to...

rich to me that now the media is saying we have no idea what the motive but is about this now what about MSNBC is about what about the time 48 hours of january what about the people who did everything they could to say this was intended to foment additional what else to detract the enforcement is about the media if you're not at this table i i i get that you don't want to grapple with the fact of what happened no let me ask you let me ask you a question let me ask you a question what about the people who assaulted and beat police officers on january i have regularly said so do you think that do you think that they are just trespassing that they were wrongfully prosecuted well one thousand people didn't beat police officers on january six so Okay, I'm sorry. There's, Israel, I know. Everyone's like, whoa, what's going on? It's like they're in the middle of the scrum, the melee that's going on there. Can I give it to you to just make your initial point? Because it seems like the host there slash whoever else is kind of, you know, chiming in, doesn't understand that walking into the Capitol and taking a selfie and planning a pipe bomb. Are different things. Help work through that for us. Well, you know, it's obvious that everything is violence except actual violence to the left, right? Words are violence. Ideas are violence. The American flag is violence. But planting pipe bombs. actually isn't violent, I guess, according to CNN. That was just one of many different topics we covered on this very fiery panel last night. I, of course, being the metaphorical punching bag where every question I was asked, two words in, the host just immediately spoke over me and completely ignored everything that I was saying. For example, I answered that question. I think there was one snippet there about if violent protesters deserved to be pardoned or not. I said, of course not. If anyone is beating a police officer, of course they need to be in prison for such behavior. And then she just completely ignored that. seven times. But what was really interesting to me is this panel was so obsessed with running interference for anyone that they remotely associated with being on the left. And when it came to this particular conversation about the arrest that was made against Brian Cole Jr., the alleged pipe bomber from January 5th is when he planted those bombs, 2021, but they were discovered on January 6th in the midst of all the chaos. They literally had the audacity to say, well, let's just state the obvious. This guy's black, so he'll never get a presidential pardon for planting pipe bombs. The obsession that these people have, particularly the left-wing establishment media, with excusing any sort of political violence as long as it fits their agenda, if that's something as ridiculous as planting a pipe bomb or a school shooting against Catholic schoolchildren because they're Catholic and therefore are somehow extremists. for our country or even all out assassinations of people like our friend Charlie Kirk. It's becoming so obvious to me in the last three months more than ever before in my career that the demons are getting louder and evil is being exposed with every passing day. The literal darkness I felt in the CNN studio yesterday was very palpable. I said that to my team as I walked out and I'm realizing after these last few months, I don't know that I'll ever be the same again realizing how strong that evil has taken hold in our country.

So we just went into kind of an intense and serious direction there, but it is a Friday, and I'm actually now, Isabel, you can't, I don't think you can see this, but I am now holding. The famous fellow known as Baby Speed. Oh, I can't see. I wish I could. He's, anyone who's watching on the YouTube can see it. And he's now speaking up a little bit. Oh, there he is. Oh, he's grabbing the microphone. He's a lot of fun. This is what happens during live radio. You and I have a child about the same age. Whoa, okay. He loves the mic. I'm going to give him back now. We have a child about the same age. That was just for all the video watchers. Um, what's it like? What's the, uh, what's the whole parent thing been like for you? And, and, and whoa, there he is. Sorry. I love that Baby Speed wants to have his own podcast because my daughter, Ila, constantly is talking all the time. I keep saying there's a lot of money to be had in a baby podcast somewhere. So maybe we should start one. I love it. I had my daughter at the end of April, her birthday was April 30th. And truly, as I'm sure you know, as a new parent, my whole life has changed in all of the best ways since then. I am a completely different person. I view the world completely differently. But in the most beautiful, holistic way, I think there's such a greater purpose to... what I do every day. It gives me a reason to jump out of bed in the morning to know exactly what I'm fighting for. And I've never experienced this depth of love ever before in my life. It is truly magical. It is incredible. I honestly, I love being a parent every single day. And even the days when the sleep is not great and maybe. Speed is a pretty amazing baby, but he can be, you know, he's a baby. He can get a little fussy sometimes at night. I will say my wife is incredible and she handles like 90% of the really challenging stuff. But I pitch in sometimes. I try to be a very involved dad. But I do think, and I want to, are you Gen Z or are you like, you know, you're Gen Z? I'm very, very proudly the first year of Gen Z. I will wear that as a badge of honor until the day I die. You are Gen Z. I think. that there is, just for my observation, that people are now in the culture here in America thinking about family and building families in a more, just generally in a very positive way, but also, I'm talking about the youth, you know, the young people now. And at a younger age, like I feel like there has been a shift toward family, toward thinking at least about family. The numbers I know don't bear this out, the numbers are that we're going down, but I feel like the conversation has changed. Is that wishful thinking on my part? How do you see it? No, I think that's a very beautiful and accurate diagnosis of where young people's culture is at in this country. You're right. The numbers are very, very sad when it comes to the state of America's fertility rate. That includes just the choice to have children. We are at a 100 year low fertility rate in our country, which is coupled with one of the lowest marriage rates we've ever had in our country's history. That is the legacy and story, sadly, of the millennial generation.

Can you just have a little conversation, though, with some of your female millennial peers? These oversized, like... Like dad, they're not even dad jeans. They're, they're, I don't know what they are. These giant jeans that these women are walking around in. Am I wearing baggy jeans from the 90s right now? Yes, yes I am. You know what? I'm all about it. The mom gene has made a return and my postpart of mom body is grateful for it. Allie, is she wearing mom? Am I telling her to shut down the mom jeans and she's wearing them right now in the studio? Oh. They're not like horribly baggy, but they are pretty baggy. Some of these jeans that I see these young women wearing, I'm like, you might as well be wearing a burqa. I'm just saying this is crazy talk, but. Apparently some of you think they're comfortable. I'm not a fashion guys. I sit here in a t-shirt. You know, it's funny you say burqa. I actually saw several burqas in the wild in Washington, D.C. a few days ago. So sadly, here in New York, where I am too, I think that will probably be one of the next fashion statements if we don't bring back a classic cut, boot cut gene. I'm all about the classic American gene. All right, Isabel Brown. Isabel Brown show. Go check it out, everybody. And Isabel, thank you for being here with us. Great to talk to you.

You're listening to The Best of Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck. We are live and it's always in motion on this show. We have a surprise guest in our New York City studio. I don't even know who it is. I truly do not. They just said he's miced up. So, sir, mystery guest, you are on the air. I'm holding a book. It's called Balls. And you have to have a lot of those to write that book and call it that title.

how Trump young men in sports saved America right there. Of course that would be Clay Travis's book. Clay and Buck, what's going on, man? Good to talk to you. We're good. We're good. And Mr. Sean Hannity, it is fantastic to have you with us. I've been hearing a little bit that my buddy Clay here, he owes you a little money. He's like turning into the guy who runs away in a Bronx tail. You know, just me thousands. You know, the ironic part is Clay. He's way more knowledgeable in sports than I am, although I love sports. And like everybody else, I find it a great distraction. But I love our gladiator sports in particular. I love UFC. I love football. I love ice hockey. I'm a big Florida Panthers fan. I have seasons tickets. And what I love is that he'll be on TV or will be on this show. We'll just be talking. And I'll say, who do you think is going to win? And I always take the other team and he always loses. Wow. Always. You run the reverse, the reverse Claytrivis prediction algorithm. If I had been on and we had been going back and forth over Alabama, Georgia, I did hit my blood bank guarantee on Georgia. I know you've got Alabama connections. Right. That was a beatdown that the Bulldogs put on the top. Yeah, but I didn't take that back because I knew they're going to lose. I'm like, I just. When you know somebody's going to lose, you don't make that bet. You just don't. John, do you have a Super Bowl prediction that you always make? Or are you willing to make one now on the air? Clay, do you have one? Since I have both of you gentlemen here. I think Super Bowl's a little bit early to make that prediction. But I do think, I don't know, I honestly would love to see the New England Patriots back in it. Maybe I'm an oddball out on this. I've known Robert Kraft for decades, so I like him personally. And he is a great, great guy. He recently sent me a pair of sneakers. You know he wears sneakers all the time. I saw him, Sean, at the FIFA event. He was there for the World Cup draw. So I would like to see them get back. I think they can. They might have found the next Tom Brady. This guy. Okay, wait. I also, Sean, do you talk about soccer on your show at all? Because Clay hijacked the show last week for like an hour to talk about FIFA, which Ali calls FIFA, which. Yeah, Fife, Fifa. No, Ali's not that wrong. You know, the ironic part is I was always a good athlete in school before I once had a shoulder injury, a rotator cuff injury. I always had a slingshot arm. I was a pitcher in baseball, love sports.
