• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome in, Clay Travis Show.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: I hope all of you are having fantastic Thursdays, wherever
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: you may be across the country or around the world.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I was up in New York City yesterday, had a
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: great time speaking at the NAB and a big event
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: in the Javits Center there. We posted the entire conversation,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: which really was focused on why do sports keep getting more.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Expensive and.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Less beneficial for the average American sports fan.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Why are we paying way more and getting way less?
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: If that is intriguing to you at all, It is
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: posted the entire conversation I had with the president of
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the NAB.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: It is up on our Clay Travis YouTube page.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I link to it also from my Twitter page at
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Clay Travis. You can make sure that you can check
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: that out. Maybe you're going to be on the road.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Maybe you just want to hear that conversation. I think
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: you will likely enjoy it. We have got a lot
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: to dive into here. NFL Week 7, College Football Week 8,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: moving closer and closer as we have games kicking off tonight.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: So many different.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Topics that I could jump into, but I want to
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: start right here because President Trump has weighed in on
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: this as well. The NBA season has begun, and the
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: game actually took place on Tuesday night for LeBron James'
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: new Philadelphia 76ers team, going head-to-head with the Knicks as
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the Knicks celebrated their first title in 53 years. There
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: was a Grammy Award winner who was doing a Broadway
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: singer who was doing the national anthem, and this has
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: now gone viral. LeBron James can't show the most basic
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: level of self-respect for the opening night of the NBA.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: He is required under his contract to be on the
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: floor and stand for the national anthem. This is what
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: the king was doing on opening night in New York City.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Singing through the.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Night that the land was given.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I won't say just a star. Okay, President Trump has
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: called this out. It appears to me that LeBron was
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: doing some sort of golf swing and then later attempting
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: free throws. Let me say this clearly so that all
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: of you can hear it, no matter where you may
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: see this around the world. LeBron James would not behave
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: like this if the Chinese national anthem was playing and
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: he was in Beijing.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Let me repeat that.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: LeBron James would not have been practicing his golf swing.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: He would not have been stretching and practicing his free throw.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: He would have stood at attention and shown respect in China,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: which he will not do in the United States.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Now, I'm not claiming the United States is perfect.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: But if I were one of the most uniquely gifted
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: athletes in the history of the world, and I had
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: made over a billion dollars, that is a billion with
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: a B, in this country simply because I'm good at basketball,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I think I would have the self-respect to stand at
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: attention during the national anthem. LeBron James flat out won't
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: do it. He doesn't respect this country. There are many
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: foreign countries with far less freedoms that he would respect
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: far more. I can't wait until LeBron James retires. I
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: think he has actually been a net negative for the
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: NBA in terms of its brand. If he had never
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: played in the NBA, I think the NBA brand would
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: be stronger than it is today. Because LeBron's disrespect consistently
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: for the United States, turning his back on the entire
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Michael Jordan era of the NBA, which is Republicans Buy
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Sneakers Too, trying to appeal to the entirety of the
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: American sporting public and just showing the bare minimum of
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: gratitude for the good fortune he has to live in
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the greatest country in the history of the world and
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: become one of the wealthiest athletes in the history.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Of the world.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Few people have been more blessed than LeBron James. The
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: amount of resentment, the amount of ingratitude, The amount of
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: contempt that he appears to have for the country that
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: has made he and his family incredibly wealthy is frankly
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: contemptible to me and why I am not a LeBron
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: James fan and never will be a LeBron James fan.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: It's not just about the NBA, though. Evidently, the WNBA
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: finals are going on. I give credit to our buddy
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Dan Zakrzewski. He worked with me at OutKick. He still
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: works at OutKick. He is covering the WNBA Finals. WNBA
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: players are required to be on the court for the
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: National Anthem. That is a contractual obligation that they have.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Three straight WNBA Finals games now The players on both
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: teams have refused to be on the court in violation
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: of their contractual requirements in the WNBA.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I believe this is Dan Zakrzewski's video. Watch.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Here's the question.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Dan was at that game.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: He also, I believe, has said that he has been
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: to 13 straight press conferences without being allowed to ask
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: a question about, for instance, why are the WNBA.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Players not there for the national anthem. Now, uh, sport
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: and state is also covering this. And we have requested
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: a comment from the WNBA and the NBA about why
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: players in the WNBA are being allowed to violate their
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: contracts in this manner. Maybe partly Dan Zakrzewski is not
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: getting called on for questions because the WNBA PR team
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: also is refuses to stand for the anthem. I believe
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: we have either a video or a picture of them.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: This is posted from Dan Zakrzewski.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: By the way, the guy on the left looks like
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: exactly what I would expect the WNBA PR person to
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: look like.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: So, by the way, it is the chick on the right.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Let me just point this out.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: The WNBA, if they cared about having the biggest possible
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: audience and making the most possible money, would fire everyone
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: in their home office. Everyone who is a behind-the-scenes WNBA
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: employee should be fired because they have all failed at
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: their goal, which should be.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: To appeal to the entirety of the nation.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: The WNBA, unlike the PGA when Tiger Woods came to golf,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: unlike the UFC when Ronda Rousey rose to prominence, Unlike
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: the WTA, the Women's Tennis Association, when Venus and Serena
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Williams arrived, has utterly failed to make more money off
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: of a transcendent talent that has come to their sport.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Why do I use the PGA, the WTA, and the
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: UFC as an example? Ronda Rousey didn't look like the
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: average UFC fighter. Tiger Woods didn't look like the average
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: PGA golfer. Venus and Serena Williams did not look like
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the average WTA tennis player. All of those sports, though,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: when they got new talent that brought a brand new
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: audience to expand the horizons of the business of the league,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: all of them, the PGA, the UFC, and the WTA,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: all of them welcomed that new talent.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Tiger Woods, Ronda Rousey.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Venus and Serena Williams, because they recognized, all the other
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: athletes did, that a rising tide lifted all boats.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: The WNBA has been unwilling to do that. with Caitlin Clark. Why?
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Because it's not actually a sports league.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: It's a political identity politics fueled coalition. And unfortunately, in
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: identity politics, you would rather fail than have someone who
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: looks different than you help to create more success for everyone.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: And that, my friends, is why I think everyone in
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: the WNBA should be fired. to say nothing of the
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: tremendous disrespect that the WNBA players are showing by not
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: coming out for the anthem. They should have to answer
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: why both teams are refusing to come out. I would
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: have more respect for them if they explained why the
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: league is not enforcing its contractual requirement that players be
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: present for the national anthem. I would submit to you
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: that the answer is pretty clear because they hate America
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: and they refuse to honor America. the country by standing
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: for the national anthem.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Uh, all right. That is what is going on in
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: the WNBA and the NBA.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: We got a bunch of picks college football bout to
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: kick off later today. Uh, I have got a ton
• 9:50

  Speaker 2: see me. That's my face right there in a white
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: button down that all of you can check out. OK,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: I was mentioned a minute ago. I saw this clip
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: and I couldn't believe it was real. I mentioned that
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: OutKick cannot get a question asked of anyone at the
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: WNBA press conferences because they will not allow OutKick to
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: be called on as a media organization. But meanwhile, we
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: have questions like this. Somebody asked Angel Reese, what's it
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: like to become an Atlanta area sports icon like Hank Aaron,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: like Dominique Wilkins? Like Deion Sanders. I can't believe this
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: is real, but it happened. It ain't spectacular, but it
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: is real.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Watch.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: Atlanta has a history of prominent sports legends like Hank Aaron,
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: Dominique Wilkins, Deion Sanders. Some people on social media are
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: mentioning you amongst the greats of Atlanta's sports leaders. What
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: does that mean to you to be mentioned amongst the
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: greats of Atlanta's legends in sports?
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it definitely means a lot. I've only been here
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: for six months, so I don't know how y'all can
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: give me that yet, but all right. My goal was
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: to come to Atlanta and win a championship, and I
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: think you become one of the greatest, and you become
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: one of the best when you can win and impact winning,
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: and that's all I wanted to do coming here. Everything
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: else really doesn't matter to me, but when we win
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: this championship for the city of Atlanta that has done
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: so much and poured so much into the sports here,
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: that's what's going to feel amazing and more than anything.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I can't believe that's real.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Angel Reese has nothing in common with Hank Aaron, nothing
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: in common with Deion Sanders, nothing in common with Dominique Wilkins.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: All of those people admittedly are Atlanta sports icons.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: She is none of those.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: I can't believe that that is a real question that
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: was truly asked.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: That's who they're letting ask questions. Just utterly absurd. Okay.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Another story that is out there. It's just validation, really,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: for your boy. I was told a while back, some
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: of you will remember this, last year, that Paul Feinbaum
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: had been sidelined over an interview that he did with
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: me that had to do with whether or not he
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: was allowed to go on shows.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: And here you can see it.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Paul Feinbaum did an interview with Awful Announcing where he
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: admitted that everything that I said last year was true.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: So this is directly addressed to ESPN PR. They said
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: that I made that story up. They accused me of lying.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: They said that everything I reported last year was untrue.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Paul Feinbaum now has gone on the record and said,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: everything that I said last year was true. When is
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: ESPN going to apologize to me? And where are all
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: of the people in sports media who should be embarrassed
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: by this that just repeat whatever ESPN says to them?
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Where are they correcting the record now?
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Because there were a bunch of these guys that work
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: in sports media that just pull their pen out and
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: write down whatever they are told to say.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Where are they now? Because now they have been embarrassed.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: They were all wrong. I was 100% right. Paul Feinbaum
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: has now said it. Where are all of those stories? Oh,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: turns out Clay Travis was 100% correct. I would just
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: point out everything that I told you, everything that I
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: said is 100% true.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Enos Cantor. Got a letter from the WNBA.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: They said Enos Cantor Freedom, who was just in the
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: studio here with me recently, they said that he is
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: not eligible for the WNBA draft because he's a man. Now,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: this is a letter from Kathy Engelbert that was sent
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: to several congresspeople. Enos Cantor Freedom posted it. What I
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: would ask is this. Why can the WNBA say that
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Enos Cantor and Royce White are men and but they
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: can't say what a woman is. Why can't they just
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: come out and do what the WTA did, what the
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: NCAA did, what the International Olympic Committee did, which is
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: directly define what a woman is.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Say we're going to do a cheek swab in.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Your mouth, far less intrusive than every COVID test that
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: everybody had to do for years. One cheek swab determines
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: whether or not you are XX or XY.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: XX is female, XY is male.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Why can the WNBA not put in place the same
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: policy as the WTA, same policy as the IOC, same
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: policy as the NCAA?
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I think it's because they have.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: non-XX chromosomal players playing in the league. That is, women
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: that cannot pass an XX test. Potentially, women that might
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: even be X, Y, like we saw in the Olympics
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: when that dude was beating the crap out of the
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: women and won the gold medal, like we have seen
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: with track where women like Castor Semenya, it turns out
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: are actually men from a biological perspective. I think that
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: some of those people are likely playing in the WNBA.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: It's the only thing that makes sense to me because
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: otherwise they wouldn't be focused on Enos Cantor and Royce
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: White and saying they are men. they would say they
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: are not women. They didn't say that. They said they're men.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: They still can't tell us what a woman is, what
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: is going on there.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's coincidental.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: By the way, I mentioned LeBron refusing to stand for
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: the national anthem a bit earlier. I don't think we
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: showed you the official tweet from Donald Trump here. That
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: is just FYI. And then later, the Team Trump team
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: also tweeted that LeBron James was an embarrassment for what
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: he was doing.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, a couple of.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Other videos that are out there that I want to
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: make sure that I am on top of. I don't
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: think we've shown, did we show the week eight picks
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: on college football? I don't know if we showed that graphic.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: It's actually, there we go. There are all the college
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: football picks. I don't think we popped this up. Blood
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Bank guarantee this week. You can see it starred. I
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: think Kentucky is going to blow out Vanderbilt. And so
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: that is the Blood Bank guarantee. We are now five
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: and two on Blood Bank guarantees on the year. College
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: football picks admittedly started off very slow. We were not
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: winning very much. We now have started to win at
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: a very high level. So Vandy, Kentucky, we're about to
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: go over 500. We've nearly caught up. Those are all
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: of the picks taking place. By the way, I will be,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: and there you can see the blood bank, I will
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: be sad.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: On big noon.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Fox's big noon kickoff show with country music superstar luke
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: bryan uh saturday morning so if you are thinking to
• 20:02

• 20:07
  Speaker 2: hang out with me on Saturday morning.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I'll be with country music superstar, Luke Bryan. Okay.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I want to have some fun here. I'm going to
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: get to a couple more of these clips in a moment.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: But all of you know that I am a newspaper junkie.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: I still read newspapers. And I have a crazy article
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: here that I was reading this morning from the New
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: York Times. The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has returned, aired,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: I believe, this past weekend. And this woman at the
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: New York Times is upset that the Victoria's Secret Fashion
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Show was as sexy as it was. And I read
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: this and I said, you know what? I got to
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: talk about this on the Clay Travis show. I need
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: to talk about this. The return of the fantasy bra.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: This is the headline. and a stereotype of sexy. Stereotype
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: of sexy. I don't think you can stereotype sexy. It
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: either is or is not sexy. And before I read this,
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: I'm a big believer in evolutionary biology.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: You know what that is? You should study it. You
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: should look into it.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Much of humanity makes sense if you consider it through
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: the prism of evolutionary biology. For instance, why do women
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: prefer tall men? Why do women prefer strong men? Why
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: do women prefer smart men? Because if you were bigger, stronger, faster,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: and smarter than the average man, in caveman times, your
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: family was more likely to survive.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: You had more food to eat. You were better protected.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: And you had intelligent decision-making that was leading to your
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: family's chances of survival increasing.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Women.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: prefer bigger, stronger, faster, taller, smarter men, not because they
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: are discriminating, but because from a biological imperative, all of
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: those male traits made female offspring and male offspring families
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: more likely to survive.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Okay. That explains women.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Why do men find sexy hourglass figures, voluptuous bodies attractive?
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: It's not a sign of the lingerie companies polluting our
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: minds and convincing us of things that we otherwise would
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: not be attracted to. It's because women with hourglass body
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: shapes are healthier when it comes to delivering babies. The
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: most dangerous thing, a young woman could do for most
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: of recorded human history was childbirth. The degree to which
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: a woman could birth children without dying herself and without
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: the babies dying themselves was a huge predominant factor on
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: whether or not babies would survive. Hence, men prefer women
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: with Victoria's Secret hourglass figures. Okay, biological reality. You can
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: go read about it. Just study evolutionary biology. Almost everything
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: that men like, almost everything that women like is connected
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: to our caveman and cavewoman days. It's all about making
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: it more likely that we will have more children and
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: that those children will survive. As would make sense, we
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: as humans should make decisions that prolong our lives and
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: make the lives of our children more likely to be successful. Okay,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: here is an article from the New York Times upset
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: about Sexy being back. There's no getting away from the
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: reality that the Victoria's Secret show is perpetrating a very
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: specific girl playboy tradition of Sexy. One that is all
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: about the legs and the boobs and the bottom. It's
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: cloaking the promise of transgression and the trappings of the sheriff,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: then putting it on display for everyone to see. Note
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: for Vanessa Friedman, the legs, the boobs, the bottom, they
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: have always been popular for men and they will always
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: be popular with men.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: She continues.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: According to the Victoria's Secret leaders, this is, quote, what
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: the Victoria's Secret customer wants. Victoria's Secret decided to bring
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: back the fantasy bra because fans were asking for it.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: He said that the company's share price has surged as
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: they have returned to sexy, as they have brought sexy back,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: as one popular singer might say.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Have one day suggested.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: So maybe the whole bustier and knickers babe look is
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: most women's dream as it clearly was most men's. By
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: reverting to these old gender stereotypes, Victoria's Secret is reverting
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: to a time when sexy was defined by the male
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: gaze and catering to it. Let me pause here for
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: a moment. Women don't want to look at fat androgynous
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: chicks any more than men do. I'm not an underwear model.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: If I were, the underwear company would go bankrupt. That's
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: because most men don't want to look like me. And
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: most women don't want to look like fat, unattractive women either.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Which is why the whole androgynous, everybody shape advertising campaign failed.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: People aspire to be better versions of themselves, not themselves.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: People aspire to achieve things that are more pleasing to
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: the eye, not less pleasing. This is not a stereotype.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: This is basic human biology. The company may have changed
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: its stock market ticker listing to very sexy and in
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: June to reflect its new mention, but there's nothing particularly
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: new about this idea.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sexy always works. Sex always sells.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Maybe this is about a nostalgia for a time when
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: we could pretend this way of presenting women was just
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: lighthearted fun and didn't contribute directly to a culture that
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: enabled their objectification and depersonalization to even though we know
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: such a time is as much a fantasy as the
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: fantasy bra. Watching the Victoria's Secret fashion show after the
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: national conversation prompted by the crisis at Cornell is a
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: bit like entering the Twilight Zone.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, what in the world?
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Though it does go with another national conversation, one in
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: which men are men and women are women, and you
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: can tell by how they dress. Yes, that is in
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: fact how the world exists. Trying to tie it into Cornell,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: this is absolutely insane. But again, welcome to the New
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: York Times. I take it as a strong cultural signifier
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: that we are now moving back in the direction of
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: women can be good looking, and it's okay to admit
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: that people want to look like better versions of themselves
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: not like worse versions of themselves.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, this is a fun story.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Neyland Stadium on Saturday, when Tennessee obliterated Alabama, was, according
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: to some measures, the loudest that any stadium has ever
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: been in the history of sports. And as part of
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: that loudest stadium that any have been in the history
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: of sports, there is a report that a lawyer has
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: requested government involvement because people's hearing may be impacted by
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: how loud the stadium was at Neyland.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: This is, by the way, a great advertisement.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: University of Tennessee warning, your hearing may be impacted by
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: how awesome our football team is. Doesn't seem like a
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: bad sales pitch. I think that lawyer is going to
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: have a difficult time in paneling a jury that is
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: going to vote in his favor anywhere in East Tennessee
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: or the SEC for that matter. Maybe that argument works
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: in Boston. Maybe it works in New York City. That
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: dog ain't hunting in SEC land. A couple of other
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: things that are out there. We were just talking about
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Victoria's Secret. Perfect 10 mortgage. Perfect10mortgage. com. You give them five,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: you give them, sorry, 10 minutes. And in 10 days
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: or less, they will have a brand new mortgage for you.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Hundreds of you reaching out to Perfect 10.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Mortgage. Thank you.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: This is a mortgage company that shares your values. Customers
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: are giving phenomenal feedback. I'm going to read a couple
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: of customers here in the weeks and months ahead that
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: ask that their testimonials be shared with all of you.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: But perfect10mortgage. com, Perfect 10, like many of the women that
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: are walking the runway at Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, perfect10mortgage. com.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: That is perfect10mortgage. com. Give them 10 minutes, and in 10
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: days or less, they can have a brand new mortgage
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: for all of you.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Positive story out there.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Oil is now coming out of the Persian Gulf, according
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: to the Wall Street Journal front page today, at a
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: higher rate than it did before the war in Iran started.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Our blockade is now so successful in the Middle East
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: that Iran has no more oil to sell than Their
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: economy is collapsing. And we now are bringing more oil
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: and gas out of the Middle East than we did even.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Before this war actually started.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: That seems like kind of a significant aspect, if nothing
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: else out there.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: I saw this.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Story and I thought it was very funny. You should
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: not do this. But I do wonder what the state
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: of the game when it happened was. Maybe this guy
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: is the male version of Lindsey Clancy. A man in
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Virginia has been arrested after he allegedly duct taped his
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: wife to a chair so that he could watch the
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: rest of a football game.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Now, here is this guy who did this.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: And again, do not duct tape your wife to a chair.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: so that you can watch a football game without being bothered.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: But I'm not sure this guy's going to get convicted
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: because while I don't know his particular situation, I will
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: say it seems to me to be a trait of women.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: that they manage to ask for you to do something
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: at the exact most important moment of whichever game you
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: are watching. I don't know if they instruct women in
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: this at birth and they refine the skill throughout life.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: I do know that every time there is a fourth
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: and one in a game that will be decided by
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: that play, that is the exact moment that your wife
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: decides that she needs you to take out the garbage
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: or needs you to help carry something in a house
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: to relocate a piece of furniture that looks no different
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: in the new location than it did in the location before,
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: but that your wife has decided needs to be moved.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know how they teach it. I don't know
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: how they know it. It must be feminine intuition. Every
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: moment when the biggest game at the biggest moment is
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: taking place is when your wife must have you immediately
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: post-haste act to do something that is not that important,
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: but she has decided must be done at this instant.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Maybe that was the event that precipitated this action in Virginia.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: And it is one that I do think a jury
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: might be willing to pass on.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Let me see.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Can you text me that story so I can make sure?
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: I know it's up on the screen right now, but
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: I saw this here.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I found it.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Here is, if you can't read that, a man in
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Virginia has been charged with duct taping his wife to
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: a chair in the basement so he could watch football upstairs, quote,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: in peace. The 64-year-old now faces felony abduction and misdemeanor
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: assault charges. And again, depending on the jury, I think
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: he may have a chance with the men. This may
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: be our Lindsey Clancy of men.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Let's see.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Also, look, the Titans are an utter disgrace to football.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: It's so bad that they won a game, finally. And
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: when they won the game, the team they were playing against,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Colts.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Immediately fired the GM. for giving up a 13-point lead
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: or whatever the hell it was.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: The Colts lost to the Titans at home, and they said,
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: this is so unacceptable, we have to immediately fire the
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: GM of our franchise who has been there for like
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: a decade.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: That's how bad things are.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: It is also not good that a player for the
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans who had.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: A two-year, $ 8.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Million contract, here he is, his name is Jordan Elliott,
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: He got into a dispute with one of the offensive
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: linemen at a practice, was so angry about that dispute.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Chance, was it Chance Womack?
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: I can't remember who the guy, all the players' names
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: kind of run together for me. I'm not sure which
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Titans player it was, but he was angry. with one
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: of the Titans' offensive linemen. I'm not even sure Chance
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Womack's still on the team. Chance Womack was another guy
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: from Alabama, I think, who was on the team.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: J.C.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: Latham.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: I think Chance Womack and J.C. Latham are both offensive
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: linemen the Titans have had.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: I'm getting old. They all run together.
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: J.C.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Latham.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Gets into a dispute with J.C. Latham.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Goes out to his car to get a gun so
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: that he can shoot J.C.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Latham.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: This is how bad the Titans are now, okay? First
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: of all, you're not supposed to bring guns to the
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: football complexes. His gun was in his car. This reminds
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: me of the scene in White Men Can't Jump. For
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: those of you who remember that movie, when one of
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: the basketball players gets angry with what happened, and says
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: he's going to go get his gun, and everybody starts
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: running from the basketball court. If you remember that scene
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: in White Men Can't Jump, I can only presume that
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: was the situation for the Titans as well. Now, Robert
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Sala came out and said, we all have bad moments.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: He's got some mental health issues, and somebody else should
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: sign him.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: He had a two-year, $ 8 million deal, all right?
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: I appreciate the fact that his coach tried to defend him,
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: If you go to get a gun because you're unhappy
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: about what might have happened in practice, then you shouldn't
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: be playing anywhere in the NFL. You should not be
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: in the NFL. Surely the NFL is going to reach out.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: I don't even know how this was not a criminal investigation.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: If he tried to go get a gun to potentially
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: shoot a teammate, Thank the Lord it didn't happen. But
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: how is this not a crime? And how in the
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: world would this guy be eligible to play anywhere? That
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: feels to me absolutely insane. But here is Robert Sala
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: talking exactly about that incident.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: Escalating for him?
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: No.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: Here's what I'll say, guys. I'm going to go off
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: on a tangent. Or not on a tangent, but first
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: I want to say, like, I think the organization and
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: the NFL did an outstanding job with regards to pausing,
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: which I think everyone needs to do in this situation,
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: is pause with regards to the news that Jordan had
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: a gun. And the reason why I think the NFL
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: and the organization did an outstanding job is because this
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: is a man who is a father. A great husband.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: He's never committed a crime in his entire life. And
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: he pulled a gun in the parking lot. And the
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: first question that I think everyone forgets to ask is
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: why would a great man, a great father, a man
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: who shows up on time every day, works his ass
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: off every day, contributes the way he's supposed to contribute,
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: is well-liked in the locker room, why did he go
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: off the rails and grab a gun? And to me,
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: those are small signs of a cry of help in
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: terms of obviously there's something greater happening. And I thought
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: the team in the NFL did an outstanding job with
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: regards to pausing and asking those questions and checking every
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: single box with regards to giving him the help that
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: he needs. In the last year, the NFL has lost
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: two outstanding young men to taking their own lives because
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: they may have had help. They may have been crying
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: for help, and everyone ignored it. And I'm not saying
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: that's where he was. I'm not going to speak on that.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: But these kids go through a lot, a lot. And
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: like I said, I thought I will stand on the
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: table for Jordan's character. Unfortunately, rules are rules with regards
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: to guns on property. And sometimes it's far greater than
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: the knee-jerk reaction of kicking somebody and kicking somebody when
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: they're down. My message to 31 other teams would be
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: if you need a hell of a run-stopping D-tackle that
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: can help you on a playoff run, give me a call.
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you everything you need to know about him.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: He's a good man. Had a terrible lapse in judgment
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: that I recognize as a call for help more than
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: a criminal act. And it's unfortunate the way it went down.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: But But as far as Jordan's concerned and the locker
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: room and all that, I think the locker room and Jordan,
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: I think people see it differently here than the knee-jerk
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: reaction of the world.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, look, I don't know how that guy ever plays
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: in the NFL again. I wouldn't be comfortable with him
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: in my locker room. A couple of final things here
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: on the Thursday edition of the program. The ratings came
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: out for how many people watched all of the college football.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Games, and I was right, as I'm almost always right.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: If they had not put three SEC games head-to-head.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: At 3.30 Eastern and.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Two SEC games head-to-head at noon Eastern, the most watched
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: game of the weekend on ABC ESPN would have been
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: the Alabama-Tennessee game. Instead, they made all the SEC games
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: compete against each other. And BYU-Notre Dame out in Provo,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: congratulations to BYU, ended up a bit more popular than
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: the Alabama-Tennessee game. But as I said, would be the
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: case when you clear the deck so there is no
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: major SEC competition on any of the major broadcast networks
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: and you make them all compete with each other, you
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: drive down the number of SEC viewers and you drive
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: up the viewers for much less competitive games in the
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: evening in terms of not having to worry about other
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: games competing with the ones in primetime. Yet again, your
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: boy was right. And I want to close with this
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: little bit of new. Two things that I think are positive.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: You guys know that I have a Tesla. It's really cool.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: They have a Halloween version of the Tesla that is
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: going on right now.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: It will growl.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: It will make your car look like a ghost. I'm
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: just saying, trust me on this. My youngest son thinks
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: this is awesome, and so does his dad. Finally, we
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: had Byron Donalds on today on Clay and Buck. We'll
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: play that clip for you tomorrow. He was at the
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: FSU-Miami game, and he says Florida State got screwed on
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: that holding call.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: But I want all of you to know this. Go vote.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: Go vote. Go vote.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: I have already voted in the midterm elections. Over 18
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: million of you.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Have also voted.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: The data right now on early voting is that the
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: Democrat-Republican share of early voting is nearly identical. Right now,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: 2026 to 2022, I think there's going to be a
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: lot of super competitive races out there. Make sure that
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: your voice is heard. Join me and go vote yourself,
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: no matter where you may live across the country. DBAP,
