Clay Travis | Founder of OutKick Says Male Genitalia Does Not Belong in the Women's Sports · Sid & Friends In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Clay. Probably not the manliest of music, but
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I'm manly enough to admit big brody, good looking, muscular
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: guy like me. I love Barry Manilo. How about that?
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: I thought I thought maybe Doctor Fauci had gotten in
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: the studio and taking over the music.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: That's funny, and he likes Barry Manilo too. You're right,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: but you were on the money, as you always are.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you know, we did a couple of
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: TV appearances together. That's how I got to know you.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I know you're from OutKick dot com. But not to
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: embarrass you or patronize you, but I'm a huge fan,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: bro I mean you are just You're great, and I
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: have a couple of things I want to discuss your
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: appearance on Varney. You're right, Look, I don't like Kyrie Irving.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I don't like basketball players that were kafia is the
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: postgame news conferences. Okay, But but he was right, and
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: you made a great point pointing out Aaron Rodgers and
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Djokovic and sports media people like me who did blast them.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: So I guess we all like Stephen A. Smith om
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: an apology.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, I think so. Look, but if you attacked them
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: over COVID decisions. Then I think it's only fair to
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: say in the light of six years later, five years later,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: as doctor Fauci's diary has come out and as his
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: one hundred and eleven I believe it was a choice
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: to take the Fifth Amendment continues to resonate. I think
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: those guys look smarter, right, And you can say, as
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: many people often do you know, I don't know that
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: we need to look to athletes to lead us on anything.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: What I said back in those days was you don't
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: have to agree with these guys, but they rely on
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: their physical health and their bodies more than most of
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: us to make a living, and so it doesn't surprise
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: me that they would be doing search and analyzing natural
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: immunity versus this unproven vaccine when it came to the
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: choices they were going to make. And so I think,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: remember Novak Djokovic wasn't allowed here was my number one
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: criticism back in the day. If you want to go
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: to Djokovic specifically, he wasn't allowed in the country to
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: play in the US Open. While we were letting ten
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: million illegals come across our southern border unrestricted, we weren't
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: letting him because he didn't get the COVID shot come
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: play tennis outdoors in New York. But meanwhile, we were
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: letting every undocumented immigrant illegally into the country, ten million
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: of them. And I just said, I remember making the
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: comment back in the day, and some people got mad
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: at me. You know, he just needs to put his
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: tennis racket on his shoulders, fly to Mexico and he
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: could walk across the southern border and claim asylum and
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: be able to go out to the US Open tournament
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: that way. And it's funny, but I do think that
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: likely would have worked, given the ridiculousness of the decision making.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: We had a noble office at the time.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: It is funny, but it's not too because that's exactly
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: what happened as we get set for the US Open
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: here now this month in New York. You're right, they
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: wouldn't let him come here, wouldn't let him play, and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: illegals coming across the border with all kinds of stuff
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and nobody stopped them. The other major story you're part
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: of here, Clay, is that you have offered ten million.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Not gonna lie to you. The biggest question asked of
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: me was you're upening Clay has ten million. Guy, he's
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: got it. And you have offered the Las Vegas Aces
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: ten million dollars if they can beat any high school
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: state boys basketball team. Now you've also offered the boys
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: team two million if they can win. This is genius.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: You saw me on Twitter. I called you a genius.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I told Roley Gaines, this guy's a genius. I'm serious
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: because you made it fun. You're making it fun. They
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: won't do it, but you're making it fun. But you're
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: proving the point that the best female basketball player in
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the world is not going to be the high school kid.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: So why do we keep doing this? Why?
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, I think sometimes you have to respond to
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: two idiots by taking the logic of their idiocy and
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: pushing it even further and to your point, humor, hyperbole, satire.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: They cut through in a way that me sitting down
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: with a scientist and discussing overall muscle mass averages for
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: men and oxygen capacity in the lungs and all these
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: things that are indisputably true right from a biological perspective.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: We all know men are bigger, stronger, faster than women.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: So I could sit and argue tall on blue in
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: the face on the factual aspect of this, or I
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: could just put ten million dollars out on the table
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: and say, hey, Las Vegas Aces, you're the WNBA defending champions.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: You've been arguing for years you're underpaid. This is the
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: most lucrative single basketball game offer to win a game
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: in the history of the sports since James Nasmith hung
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: up the peach baskets. This never has anybody offered more
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: money to win a basketball game. All these high school boys, teams,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: state champs, their coaches are reaching out. The players are
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: reaching out like crazy. They say, we will to play,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: We want to play Clay, we want to play Clay.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: You know, I could find one in every state that
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: would want to play a state champion for sure. And meanwhile,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: the WNBA and the Las Vegas Aces won't respond. Why
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: won't they because they knew that, they know they would
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: lose by fifty points. And look, this doesn't This doesn't
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: mean that women's athletics is not important to me. It
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: just reinforces the most important reason for women's athletics to
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: be able to exist is not having to compete against men.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Right because if we just had unisex sports that is
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: no gender differences at all. Virtually no women would make
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: any teams and we would just have male sports. So
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: look the WNBA. They have the w in front of
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: the NBA for a reason. But I think they would
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: get utterly obliterated by a state champion voice team of
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: my choice. So we'd put it on pay per view.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I said, I donate the proceeds to tunnel the towers
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: for wounded sorry for people who's whose husbands or wives
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: or fathers and mothers died, Cops, first responders, armed forces,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: all of that. It would be a tremendous success. It
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: would do a lot of good, and it would actually
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: demonstrate just how ludicrous this is. And people say, why now, Clay.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: It's because in the wake of Sophie Cunningham, some coaches
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: have come out and said if a man identifies as
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: a woman, that they believe they should be able to
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: play in the WNBA. Which is why I said, I'm
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: just I'm over this. You know, the thing has been
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: seeing ten million times the offer on Twitter alone, you know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: one hundreds of one thousand plus retweets. It's I mean,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: if you type in Clay Travis ten million, it is
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: echoed all throughout everywhere. I do, by the way, have
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the money. But also it's easy to put up the
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: money when you know that the WNBA is going to
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: be too cowardly to accept the challenge.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: And it'd win anyway. But the tweet thing is funny
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: because I think when you first you were looking for
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: five million, and which is a big number.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Huge.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I don't get fined. I think one time I did
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: twenty eight million because of the Jewsalem post, but that
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: was luck. So even five millions of a lot, you're
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: up to ten million. Everybody's talking about it because, like
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: you said, it's a genius way to point out something
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: that we're actually talking about daily, which is ludicrous. It's crazy.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I do want to go to the NFL for a second. Here, Clay,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: it's it's over already. It looks like for Tony Romo,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: jj Watt is going to do the games with my
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: dear friend Jim Nance.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Look, I was arrested twice for duy. You know, I'm
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: not driven a car in nine years. Nine years, I'm
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: not driven a car. I do commercials for car dealers.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I can't even drive a car. So I've been through
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: this and it's not funny. It's bad. You can kill somebody.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: But my god, it took CBS fifteen minutes to get
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: rid of Tony Romo and bring in JJ Watt. Something
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: says to me there was something rotten before this. What
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: about you?
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I think you're one hundred percent right, And I think
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: there's two things. One, remember, there's brand new owners of CBS.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Paramount bought them, so there may be a decision having
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: looked at the books, they may be saying, oh my god,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: we're paying, you know, Tony Romo eighteen million dollars a
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: year to do fifteen or sixteen football games. That's an
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: outrageous amount of money. And so this may give them
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: an excuse under the morals clause of his contract to
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: get to some sort of negotiated settlement that could save
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: CBS tens of millions of dollars. That was my first
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: thought from a business perspective on it. And then the
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: second one is I do think that Tony Romo has
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: seemed disengaged compared to the first several years when he
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: was doing this. In other words, I just don't know
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: that he has the same drive or loves the job
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: that he's doing. On the same way that a guy
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: like Jim Nantz obviously lives for what he does in
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: that broadcast booth on a day to day basis. Other
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: guys and gals do too. I don't know that Tony
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Romo feels that same drive that maybe he did in
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: the first few years to prove that he could do
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: the job. Once you do it, it doesn't seem like
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: he loves the travel aspects and everything else associated with it.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I think the question was in the final minute Tom
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Brady when he came in and the other quarterback was
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Tony number one team on CBS. Was Brady going to
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: be good enough? Was it going to be like the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: next Tony Romo? Now Romo's out of a job and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Brady is still at box, and Brady is doing dumb
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: things like getting, you know, punching one of the Poll
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: brothers or slapping one of the Poll brothers across the face,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: which was really embarrassing for a seven time Super Bowl champ.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: But I will say this, I think he's pretty good.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I think he's better than most people thought he would
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: be in that booth doing NFL games.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: What do you think he's gotten better? And you know
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: this better than anybody. It's weird to be able to
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: sit down in front of a mic or on a
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: television camera and not have any pressure on you and
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: just let it rip. Most people can't do it. I've
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: been in that Fox Green room a ton of times.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: You know, it's one hundred yards down to the studio.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Former athletes are telling the greatest stories. They're joking, they're relaxed,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: they're natural. As soon as you get in there and
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: there's a thousand lights on you and that red light
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: on that camera goes live. A lot of people think
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: that they can perform and they tighten up and they're
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: nowhere near as good. You know this from radio. Everybody
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: thinks they can do radio. You sit them down, you
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: push that button, the mic goes live. They say everything
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: they've ever thought. They look at the clock. It's been
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: eight minutes and they're like, oh my god. You know,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: we used to do this for charity. We would let
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: guys come in, you know, and sit in on shows.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: When I did local sports talker radio, guys come in
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: all cocky. Three minutes into the show, they look like,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: you know, sweats poured down off their.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Eyes and they walk out and they go and they
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: go play, how do you do this for four hours
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: a day? Right?
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: They all say that, right, and they're like, yeah, you do.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: You know television's fun I always say, because it's like sex. Right,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: you do three good minutes and you're like, that's the
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: greatest thing. But the greatest thing I've ever dudu. And
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: then you know for radio, you'll look at the clock.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: You got three hours fifty seven minutes left. You know
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: you better, you better, you better find some stability.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Brother, that is funny. You're right, it is like good
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: sex TV. Hey, you're great man, welly, keep up the
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: great work. You're becoming a huge superstar and you've earned it.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: You're smart, you're funny, you got it all. Clay Travis, Oh,
