Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Klay Travis is one of my favorite people on television.
- 0:03Speaker 1: He's brilliant politics, sports, he does it all. Clay, good morning, buddy,
- 0:07Speaker 1: how are you.
- 0:08Speaker 2: I'm great, how are you all?
- 0:10Speaker 3: We're doing great.
- 0:10Speaker 1: Do you see me on POTS on Saturday when I
- 0:13Speaker 1: called Mohamma Muhammad ma'm Donnie a terrorists and Grip Jenkins
- 0:17Speaker 1: apologized for me twice.
- 0:21Speaker 3: Did you know that story?
- 0:23Speaker 2: I did see that story. That is really really funny. Yeah.
- 0:26Speaker 1: I call him a terrorist on the air and Griff
- 0:28Speaker 1: stops me.
- 0:29Speaker 3: So I start yelling at Griff.
- 0:31Speaker 1: I go Grif, Grip the guys that are hiding out
- 0:33Speaker 1: and cutter those hamask guys. They never worn explosive this,
- 0:37Speaker 1: they never shot a gun. They're still terrorists. Don't tell
- 0:39Speaker 1: me he's a terrorist and I leave. I do the
- 0:42Speaker 1: segment with Rachel and Griff and Charlie, and in the
- 0:45Speaker 1: last two hours of the show, I'm gone, not once,
- 0:48Speaker 1: but twice, Griff Jenkins apologize for me.
- 0:52Speaker 2: It's very very funny.
- 0:53Speaker 4: I you know, did local not local national sports gambling
- 0:57Speaker 4: shows back in the day, and probably once a month
- 1:01Speaker 4: or so.
- 1:02Speaker 2: One of us on the show would say something and
- 1:05Speaker 2: the host of the.
- 1:06Speaker 4: Show would have to apologize live on the air without
- 1:09Speaker 4: us having been told that the apology was coming. It
- 1:12Speaker 4: was like a preemptive, preemptive attempt to protect the work
- 1:17Speaker 4: from things we had said. And I will say I
- 1:20Speaker 4: do believe like the whole cancel culture era has basically vanished.
- 1:26Speaker 4: But I think a lot of the rules which were
- 1:28Speaker 4: broken in the first place, right, Like, an apology doesn't
- 1:32Speaker 4: actually make anyone happy, right because the goal is not
- 1:36Speaker 4: for you to screw up and say, oh, I'm sorry.
- 1:40Speaker 4: The goal is to try and break and humiliate and
- 1:44Speaker 4: destroy you. No one is actually offended. They just want
- 1:47Speaker 4: to cut your balls off and not allow you to
- 1:51Speaker 4: be able to say what you really think. That's the
- 1:54Speaker 4: entire goal. Nobody's ever actually offended. If you are, you're
- 1:57Speaker 4: an adult, grow up who cares bang.
- 2:00Speaker 3: You just nailed it.
- 2:00Speaker 1: That's why I love Clay Travis excellent. So you know
- 2:03Speaker 1: you talked about gambling shows and I was made aware
- 2:06Speaker 1: of this on your Twitter.
- 2:07Speaker 3: I do follow you and read your stuff every day.
- 2:10Speaker 1: Are you telling me that these ladies, including that thug,
- 2:14Speaker 1: yes I called it that white or black, you can
- 2:17Speaker 1: still be a thug, Angel Reese. They're betting on their
- 2:20Speaker 1: own games and cutting videos about it.
- 2:23Speaker 4: This is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen
- 2:25Speaker 4: in the history of at least the social media era. Yeah,
- 2:30Speaker 4: this video is up. You can go see it on
- 2:31Speaker 4: my Twitter feed at Clay Travis. I couldn't believe it
- 2:34Speaker 4: last night when I saw this, Me too, Page Buckers,
- 2:37Speaker 4: who was a star at Yukon, and Angel Reese who
- 2:41Speaker 4: got into it with Caitlin Clark back in the day
- 2:44Speaker 4: when LSU played Iowa. They bet four hundred dollars on
- 2:48Speaker 4: the outcome of their game. Last night, and the WNBA
- 2:52Speaker 4: itself posted the video of each of them publicly making
- 2:58Speaker 4: the bet and showing the cat that was at stake. Now,
- 3:02Speaker 4: four hundred dollars on a w NBA game is like
- 3:04Speaker 4: ninety percent of the salary these girls make, so I mean,
- 3:07Speaker 4: this is this is big money they put on the line.
- 3:09Speaker 3: God, and it's illegal.
- 3:10Speaker 1: You can't bet on games.
- 3:12Speaker 2: It's just crazy. It's absolutely insane. I mean, imagine what
- 3:15Speaker 2: the story would be like if any and when we.
- 3:18Speaker 4: Saw sho Heeyo Tani's gambling scandal, where it was just
- 3:21Speaker 4: a guy had access evidently to his bank account.
- 3:24Speaker 3: If you believe that, if you believe that.
- 3:26Speaker 4: I believe that, but but it was a huge story.
- 3:28Speaker 4: It was front page news for multiple days. We all
- 3:32Speaker 4: know what happened to Pete Rose back in the day.
- 3:34Speaker 4: I can't even think of a male sport where two guys,
- 3:37Speaker 4: I mean, heck, when when people bet on NFL games, right,
- 3:41Speaker 4: even small parlays, guys have gotten suspended for an entire season.
- 3:47Speaker 4: I don't know what the WNBA is going to do
- 3:49Speaker 4: because it ties on Also, I'm sure you saw this, Uh,
- 3:52Speaker 4: the Seattle Storm had an owner who berated two teenage
- 3:58Speaker 4: girls who wore supporting Sophie Cunningham coming out in favor
- 4:04Speaker 4: of men not being able to play women's sports. This
- 4:06Speaker 4: is just a broken league run by morons.
- 4:08Speaker 3: William Johanna, but I was glad that. I was glad
- 4:10Speaker 3: Clay that they suspended.
- 4:12Speaker 2: That co owner.
- 4:12Speaker 1: I think her name is Ginny something abother Gilman. I'm
- 4:15Speaker 1: glad they did that because to me, look, this is
- 4:18Speaker 1: a racist league. But he says to me, why why
- 4:21Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark, Because she's white and this league was a bunch.
- 4:25Speaker 3: Of black girls.
- 4:26Speaker 2: That's it, n straight, that's it.
- 4:27Speaker 1: A bunch of black girls. And it's like, this is
- 4:29Speaker 1: our league bitch, and she comes in and she becomes
- 4:32Speaker 1: a star, and they're all beating her up. And who
- 4:34Speaker 1: comes to a rescue a white girl, pretty too, Sophie Cunningham.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Sophie Cunningham to me, is a hero. I'm glad at
- 4:41Speaker 1: least the league suspended this co owner. But for the
- 4:43Speaker 1: most part, this league is a mess. It's a racist league,
- 4:46Speaker 1: Clay Travis.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:48Speaker 4: Look, it's a league run by black lesbians that hate
- 4:52Speaker 4: a straight white girl. I mean, I think I was
- 4:55Speaker 4: one of the first to say this, and people just,
- 4:57Speaker 4: you know, like gasped. And then you start seeing Kitlyn
- 4:59Speaker 4: Clark gitting throat punched. You see that the league won't
- 5:03Speaker 4: even speak out in her favor right when when awful
- 5:06Speaker 4: things happened to her, they have to tiptoe around it.
- 5:09Speaker 4: And by the way, I don't care who you sleep with.
- 5:11Speaker 4: I don't care anything else. If you have someone in
- 5:16Speaker 4: your league that is the difference between you having to
- 5:19Speaker 4: fly commercial and getting to fly private.
- 5:22Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I would do whatever that person wanted if
- 5:26Speaker 2: I didn't have to get If I was making hundreds.
- 5:29Speaker 4: Of thousands of dollars, as many of these girls are,
- 5:31Speaker 4: more than we otherwise would she is the goose that
- 5:35Speaker 4: laid the golden egg, and they're trying to strangle the
- 5:37Speaker 4: goose to death.
- 5:38Speaker 2: It's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.
- 5:40Speaker 3: I saw Riley Gaines on couldn't agree more.
- 5:42Speaker 1: I saw Riley Gaines on Box News early and she
- 5:44Speaker 1: was also extolling Sophie's virtues.
- 5:46Speaker 3: Who all love Sophie cutting him? But something else you
- 5:48Speaker 3: put on Twitter? You nailed that again, Clay Travis.
- 5:51Speaker 1: He said that when it comes to men competing in
- 5:54Speaker 1: women's sports, we all know it's terrible.
- 5:57Speaker 3: It's not bad, it's terrible, it's immoral, or there's nothing
- 6:01Speaker 3: good about it.
- 6:01Speaker 1: Okay nothing, And yet for the most part, men realize
- 6:05Speaker 1: that right, and women they're the ones. They're the ones
- 6:09Speaker 1: in this case, were being victimized. And yet it's the
- 6:13Speaker 1: women that are not coming to the realization as quickly
- 6:16Speaker 1: as the men.
- 6:17Speaker 3: What is that about.
- 6:18Speaker 4: Yeah, I think honestly, women's empathy is being And I've
- 6:23Speaker 4: never met a man who has said, yeah, you know what,
- 6:27Speaker 4: I think that men should be able to compete in
- 6:29Speaker 4: women's sports. I have never met one in my entire
- 6:32Speaker 4: life either, not one, you know either. I think this
- 6:34Speaker 4: is probably in your audience. I'm not sure there's a
- 6:37Speaker 4: single guy listening to us right now that would agree
- 6:40Speaker 4: with men and women's sports. I think it's a ninety
- 6:42Speaker 4: nine point nine to point one or whatever the heck
- 6:44Speaker 4: it is issue. And the only men that would not
- 6:47Speaker 4: have maybe have that opinion have never played sports, right,
- 6:50Speaker 4: any guy who has ever played high school sports and
- 6:53Speaker 4: knows the difference between just high school level, any guy
- 6:56Speaker 4: out there that's coached, if you coached a seventh grade
- 6:59Speaker 4: girls team versus a seventh grade voice seaming, these are
- 7:01Speaker 4: different species as soon basically as we get to testosterone
- 7:06Speaker 4: rolling in for men, women, I really believe this are
- 7:10Speaker 4: being taken advantage of because they're trying to be kind,
- 7:15Speaker 4: they're trying to be empathetic. They're trying to be what
- 7:17Speaker 4: women often are nurturing, and they don't want to be
- 7:21Speaker 4: the bad guy and bad ill actors are taking advantage
- 7:25Speaker 4: of that empathy and they're weaponizing against the women. These
- 7:28Speaker 4: women think they're being kind, and actually the question is
- 7:33Speaker 4: who should your kindness go to?
- 7:35Speaker 2: The little girl who.
- 7:36Speaker 4: Doesn't get to make a team because a boy took
- 7:39Speaker 4: her spot, the girl who doesn't get to start because
- 7:41Speaker 4: a boy took her spot, or the boy who has
- 7:44Speaker 4: decided that he's going to identify as a woman. To me,
- 7:47Speaker 4: you know, inclusion ultimately leads to exclusion, particularly in sports,
- 7:52Speaker 4: because there's only so many team jobs, there's only so
- 7:55Speaker 4: many team positions, there's only so many starters. So if
- 7:58Speaker 4: you let a boy in, then simately you are excluding
- 8:01Speaker 4: a girl in the name of inclusion. And they're taking
- 8:05Speaker 4: advantage of it because they're focusing for women on the
- 8:07Speaker 4: inclusion part and not the end result, the exclusion.
- 8:11Speaker 3: What a shame. I got to tell you.
- 8:13Speaker 1: The Jetson Giants opened up training camp two days ago,
- 8:16Speaker 1: and I'm a huge college football fan because I spent
- 8:19Speaker 1: a lot of my life down in Florida and Miami,
- 8:22Speaker 1: so ACC football, SEC football. Know you had the SEC
- 8:25Speaker 1: weekend last weekend and I actually spoke Daria Lewstein, who
- 8:28Speaker 1: was a lovely young lady. So with football season starting play,
- 8:31Speaker 1: I hope you will come on this show even more
- 8:33Speaker 1: because again I think the world w I think you're great.
- 8:36Speaker 1: I really do politics, sports, it doesn't matter.
- 8:39Speaker 3: You're fantastic. Thank you so much for hopping on this morning.
- 8:41Speaker 4: Appreciated Apologies the jets fans for the seasons they're going
- 8:44Speaker 4: to happen.
- 8:45Speaker 3: How bad is it going to be? They got Gino
- 8:46Speaker 3: Smith back.
- 8:48Speaker 4: It's gonna be bad. I think you're going to sit
- 8:49Speaker 4: back and look. To be fair, there's a lot of
- 8:52Speaker 4: good young quarterbacks that I think are going to be
- 8:54Speaker 4: in the twenty seven drafts. So if I were a
- 8:56Speaker 4: Jets fan, I'd go ahead and start watching some of
- 8:58Speaker 4: those guys and day dream about who he might get.
- 9:00Speaker 3: All right, give me my team.
- 9:01Speaker 1: I'm a giant guy to the giant pregame show with
- 9:03Speaker 1: double that band for three years. We got Jackson Dart
- 9:06Speaker 1: in his second year the starting quarterback. What do you
- 9:07Speaker 1: think of my Giants?
- 9:09Speaker 4: I'm optimistic about the Giants. Now, I didn't love I'm
- 9:12Speaker 4: sure you saw Scatabo doing the back flip as he's
- 9:15Speaker 4: trying to recover from the leg. But I do think
- 9:17Speaker 4: Jackson Dart is going to be a very good quarterback
- 9:20Speaker 4: in the league. I like how decisive he is. Team
- 9:22Speaker 4: seems to stand behind him for the most part and
- 9:24Speaker 4: believe in him. I think you will see a big
- 9:27Speaker 4: jump for Jackson Dart, presuming he can stay healthy. He
- 9:29Speaker 4: needs to stay in the pocket more. Don't need to
- 9:31Speaker 4: take the hits that he's taking. Sometimes fills gratuitous, unnecessary
- 9:35Speaker 4: when he's scrambling, get out of bounds. Faster, slide more,
- 9:38Speaker 4: stay healthy. I think you'll see a big jump.
- 9:40Speaker 3: Clay Dravis. Amazing job, buddy, Thank you so much. Let's
- 9:43Speaker 3: keep doing this. Okay, buddy, thank you so much.
- 9:44Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, happy to come on. Appreciate y'all.
- 9:46Speaker 3: God bless you.

- 9:50Speaker 1: he's done with them, though I'm hearing Wilmays up. Maybe
- 9:53Speaker 1: Clavey doing something of his own.
- 9:54Speaker 3: I don't know. He's the rhythm.
