Speaker 1 (00:00):
The third hour of The Clay, Travis and Buck Sexton
Show is upon us. Buck here an NYC Clay down
in the Florida Panhando quite lovely. I hear this time
of year love heer than New York where it's freezing
and there are still Democrats in charge, so we got
to deal with that. But it is almost Thanksgiving. We're
very excited to get a chance to chat with all
of you across the country as you get ready for
(00:23):
the For many people, it's definitely a top three holiday,
right I think we're top five, some people number one.
They're big Thanksgiving folks, and we have much to be
thankful for despite all the problems, all the challenges, Glenn,
I speak with you about every day. We all have
things to be thankful for, and gathering with friends, loved
one's family, that's the way to do it. We unfortunately
(00:46):
have to deal with the reality of a COVID season
that is upon us as well. And I think Fauci
is starting to lose his grip over the public's mind.
I don't think he's able to just say listen to
me or else. So here he is actually calling out
by name a member of the news media I'm a
little sad Clay. It's not us, but we're working on
(01:06):
I come up with all the fingers fingers cross. I
call him the little tyrant lab coach Smurf. I mean,
I got all the names. You're here, rather there a
lot of them. Start up with the Buckster, but here
he is calling out none other than our friend Trucker
Carlson play six. I devoted my entire professional career of
fifty years to try and essentially safeguard and preserve the
(01:28):
health and the lives of the American people. And as
an infectious disease doctor who deals with outbreak that gets
really extended to the rest of the world, that's what
I do. The praise or the arrows and slings are
really irrelevant. I do what science drives you to do,
and that's what I do. And you know, I'm not
in it for a popularity contest. I'm trying to save lives,
(01:50):
and the people who weaponize lies are killing people. So
the only question I have is that when you show
Tucker Carlson and get in Navarro criticizing me, I consider
that a badge of honor. I considered a badge of
honor that Fauci's too chicken to come on our show
and answer. We would ask real questions, and I would
(02:12):
want real answers, not let him do the usual. Look
when he starts there with I've devoted my whole life
to saving lives all over the world. It's not about
the fame. I just have to be on TV every
thirty seconds, or else I shrivel up like a prune.
I gotta give credit buck to Tucker Carlson for taking
the slings and arrows. As doctor Fauci just reflected, I'd
(02:35):
not heard Tucker say anything inaccurate about COVID. In fact,
almost everything, it seems to me, including the writtenhouse interview
this week, Tucker's willing to stand up and say the
inconvenient truth in the face of an onslaught from the
mainstream media, including Fauci and others. We'll come back to
that and the fauci Ie madness this Thanksgiving in a
(02:56):
few moments. Here we are now joined by our friend
Jay was Golden. Many of you know him as mister
Bo Snardley. He's got a book out Rush on the radio,
a tribute from his sidekick for thirty years, James, my friend,
good to have you on. It is so good to
be here. Thank you for having me. And you know,
it's a little bit bitter sweet though, and feeling just
(03:19):
a little bit cheery and emotional because Thanksgiving, as you know,
you know, this was Russia's favorite time of year. And
I just remember last year at this very time, Rush
was telling all of us that he was comparing himself
to the way that lou Garrett felt, and he said
that he truly understood how lou Garrett felt facing the
(03:42):
terminal illness and still feeling like he was the luckiest
human being on the face of the earth. That was
Russia's Thanksgiving message last year, along with profound thanks for
this audience of which you are holding up the legacy
and we're so proud of you for doing that. So
this is but it's a little bit better sweet this
year as we remember that Thanksgiving story that Rush told
(04:06):
us that the true Thanksgiving story, which was of course
a class between socialism and what eventually won capitalism in
this country and individual achievement. So what a time of year,
What a time of year, And of course the beginning
of the Christmas season, which was just so special for
(04:27):
Rush and for all of us James. We appreciate you
coming on with us and sharing at to your point,
what is such a bitter sweet moment for many of
the people listening here who have for decades experience Thanksgiving
with Rush, and they don't have him for this first Thanksgiving.
And we're very honored to have you here. I assuming
you have seen the Wall Street Journal under siege for
(04:50):
publishing their Thanksgiving homily basically from the sixteen hundreds that
they've been publishing for decades to signify the importance of Thanksgiving.
How do you think Rush would have responded to the
Wall Street Journal standing up to people trying to cancel
their editorial and how pleased would he be with what
they wrote in response to those who would cancel them.
(05:14):
I think that he would be very happy to see
the Wall Street Journal taking a stand, especially when so
many others on that we wouldn't expect pave in to
this progressive madness that is sweeping across the nation that
tries to rid off of our history and our traditions.
(05:34):
You know, Rush was in many ways the first attempt
for the progressives and the liberals in this country to
try to begin their cancel culture war. It didn't work
with Rush and certainly with the wall Stree Journal today
with this attempt, and you know what, The Walls Threw
Journal is not the only ones coming under attack for
(05:54):
celebrating Thanksgiving. You can see across other outlets in the
mainstream media today very sly in some cases or another cases,
very outright and hostile attacks on the facts, giving traditions
as not being inclusive enough in our history. Look, we
Americans and Russia was so about this, being proud of America,
(06:19):
being optimistic that our best days is still ahead of us.
Being yes, we were aware of the things that happened
in our past, but we're also Russia was also the
eternal optimist about the good and great nature of the
American people and how we've overcome the things in our
past to become a great nation. And we are still
(06:41):
filled with the optimism that is great a superpower as
we are today, America's best days are still ahead of us.
We're speaking to James. Oh sorry, James. We're speaking of
James Golden, formerly known as Bo Snerdley by many of you.
It's got a book out Rush on the radio attribute
from his sidekick for thirty years. And as we're going
into they holiday tomorrow, James, people be looking for things
(07:04):
to read, of course, and a lot of them want
to know your thoughts, both on what Thanksgiving meant to Rush,
you and the whole team, and what was the mood
like in the studio on days where you were getting
ready for Thanksgiving when Rush was at the helm. Well,
we always look forward to the last hour of the
show because no matter what the news of the day was,
(07:24):
we knew that Rush was going to read again the
truth story of Thanksgiving. And it never got old, and
it never got tired. And we are and that tradition,
thankfully is continuing. Thank you that the tradition that Rush
started in this country, and now you're starting to see
more and more people aware of the story. We cannot also,
(07:46):
by the way, for parents with young children, the book
series that Rush and Catherine wrote on American history from
the first pilgrims in their journey here to this nation
all the way through the five book series. What a
wonderful Christmas gift that is for parents of young children
who want to teach their children the true nature of
(08:10):
American history and put in context this great country that
we are so blessed to live in, there's no doubt, James.
And by the way, for everybody out there who is
going to be listening to the show tomorrow, we will
be playing much of that from Rush on Thanksgiving, you
will hear his voice. For those of you who are
(08:31):
out there traveling or going to your own thanksgivings, James,
where will you be spending Thanksgiving? And what will you
be most thankful for yourself as you enter into the
holiday season. You know, this year, my nephew, his wife
and their infantus we just celebrated his third birthday two
(08:53):
days ago, and their son came out, and they came out,
they said, so that they could put some loving on
their uncle. And I am so happy to have to
be able to spend time with family this year. This
was a devastating year food, not just losing Rush. My
mom passed away three days after Rush. It has been
(09:14):
a devastating year and the losses have just been really
just searingly painful. But I am so grateful now looking
back and when it we had thirty years, thirty three
years of Rush on the air, We have thirty three
years of wonderful memories, of laughter, of his insights that
(09:36):
only he could give of his political wisdom, of his
irreverent humor, and it is so a blessing to now
look back over this incredible career that Rush Limbaugh had,
So I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful for all the
friends that I've met along the way. But you know,
you and I worked together. You were one of the
(09:58):
people that sat in that chair and Rush was away,
and it's so many great and wonderful people but I've
had a chance to meet and interact with. I'm so
grateful for that. Across the thirty years that I sprip
with Russia Lan Blah and the people that I still
with you and the people that were part of our
EIB family. So happy about that. It is just it
(10:22):
is still one of the most wonderful times of the year,
even though there's a big hole in my heart that
I don't think we'll ever be filled because Russia isn't here. James,
we really appreciate you joining us and sharing your memory,
of course of the man of self, Rush and your
experiences with him on Thanksgiving and also many times I
(10:42):
spent holidays with you and Russia was out taking much
deserve vacation with you and Mike and the rest of
the team here an Ali in New York City, so
some Memory Lane stuff there too. James Gold and everybody
check out his book. And James, we really appreciate you
being with us today. Thank you so much. Thank you
for having me. Happy Thanksgiving and happy Thanksgiving, and thank
(11:03):
you for keeping the legacy alive. Guys, thank you. James.
We want to tell you about tomorrow being a day
of thanks and we hope all of you can be
in the company of family and friends tomorrow as well
able to appreciate. As James was just talking about how
important your family and friends can be to you. There's
likely to be pictures taken, videos taken, and today we
(11:26):
do that with the ease from our cell phones. Those
have become our cameras. But a couple of decades ago
we used videocam quarters, expensive thirty five millimeter cameras. No more.
But what happened to all of those great pictures and videotapes.
If you're like most families, those videotapes and film, they're
stored away in boxes somewhere. The memories of Thanksgiving days
(11:48):
past are too valuable to even think of throwing them away.
But how do you watch them again. Legacy Box is
the answer. This is the company that takes every videotape,
every family film, every old cassette and digitizes it in
a way you can see all those memories again. They
ship your box, especially made box, and you fill it
(12:08):
full of your tapes and film all of your memories,
and then they digitally transfer all of those items that
matter so much to you and your family by hand
and return to them with you with a digital file
thumb drive that makes it instantly possible for you to
see and share again with these incredible memories forever and
(12:30):
right now. Buck, They've got an incredible offer for everybody else.
It's really the best deal of the year. During their
Black Friday event, visit legacybox dot com to save sixty
five percent with limited quantities ready to ship, this deal
will go fast. That's legacy box dot com slash buck

(12:52):
slash buck start driving, call and let us know at
one eight hundred two eight two two eight eight to
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton fundy EIB that work. Welcome
(13:13):
back in. I appreciate all of you hanging out with us.
Our thanks to James Golden. Want to reemphasize for you
all out there that we will have many of the
best moments from Rusha's Thanksgiving tomorrow as a part of
the Best of Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. We
as always are honored to be sitting in front of
a couple of Golden microphones. We appreciate all of you.
(13:35):
We are thankful for all of you and the support
that you have given us. We are coming up on
a half year doing this show. We are having a
great deal of fun. We hope we're also educating, entertaining,
and continuing to fight the battles that matter so much
to Rush and that so many of you have spent
decades devoting During this time frame, We thank you both
(13:57):
Buck and I do and our families thank you as well.
Now that doesn't mean that we're going to stop ridiculing
all of the stupidity that is going on surrounding this
year's Thanksgiving. We played you NBC News reporting, Hey, maybe
you need a bouncer at the door because inflation costs
her up in order to get some of the money
(14:20):
to be able to cover the increased cost of a
Thanksgiving meal, how about CBS this morning. I want to
play this for you guys. CBS this morning said, hey,
maybe you should be doing COVID tests in your garage
before your Thanksgiving meals. This is the insanity or we
are dealing with. Listen to CBS this morning. It might
(14:42):
be a difficult conversation before people step into your house
to say, won't wait a minute, where's your card? What's
your status where you walk into my home. This is
tough because people are all over the map on this,
and they're also all over the map with their risk tolerance.
But the rapid tests have made this a lot easier
because whatever people's vaccination status is, we can actually confirm
(15:03):
safety on the spot. So if it feels like it's
going to be weird, maybe make it kind of fun.
Say we're going to start with or d'euvres in the garage.
You know, we'll have rings, we'll do our rapid test,
and now come on in, right, You can make it playful,
make it fun and then be able to enjoy the
holiday because you're not worried about safety. It's playful and fun.
Like the guy running a Soviet gulag showing you your
(15:27):
cell is playful and fun, give me a break. You
know in New York City, Clay, there are that school
kids for safety reasons, are told to eat their lunch
in the public school system. Here outside, sitting on the concrete.
It's thirty seven degrees outside right now, freezing their little
(15:47):
buns off. Because adults are lunatics who cannot think for themselves.
And this is what I want to tell we were
trying to solve problems. If you have that relative who
shows up and is going to do the mask up
between bites thing, you triple mask and you throw on
some goggles, and when your relative doesn't have their double
mask on, you say, how can you? How can you
(16:10):
pretend to take the virus seriously with only one layer
of cloth over your mouth? Inside at this table, sir?
How dare you? Can you imagine showing up for Thanksgiving dinner,
buck and having to take a COVID test in order
to eat Thanksgiving or to eat outdoors in the frigid cold,
as some people are going to do. I just look,
(16:32):
if you are elderly and you are worried, get your
booster shots. We've said this, get your COVID vaccine. As
ninety nine percent of people who are sixty five and
up have But at some point in time, when are
you gonna return to normalcy. I'm not a grandparent, right,
but I can't imagine isolating myself for two years from
(16:56):
my grandkids in order you're gonna look, I hate to
say it. I know it's Thanksgiving, so far as I know, Buck,
we're all gonna die. We're all gonna die, yep. And
so at some point, risk is a function of living
your life. You can't look, you're your danger. Everything we
do all day long, we talk about the numbers. It's
(17:17):
not even about number of people anymore. But Claken, we
just play out with this CBS discussion that they're having
is all about like your uncle Phil shows up. You're like, Phil,
haven't seen you? Well? Here, buddy, great to be here.
Just to stick this up your nose for a second.
All right, What if it's positive, then you're gonna be
telling Phil everybody's gonna die. I guess, I don't know.
You gotta kick him out. I mean, what if it's
a false positive and your uncle or your aunt, or
(17:40):
your grandma or your grandpa don't get to hang out
with anybody if he's asymptomatic and everyone's vaccinated. No soup
for you. Apparently you're sent down into the cold. You
don't care about the flu. You don't care about a cold.
You don't care about any other communicable disease which has
been spread since time immemorial, since Squanto is it Squanto?
(18:01):
Squanto and the other Indians and the Bradfords and everybody
got together. They were probably they were probably spreading some
diseases at the first Thanksgiving, because you know what, they're humans,
and that's what humans do. What you got four stuck?
You're already spending too much money on gas, food and
college for the kids. Don't overpay for cell service. Pierre
(18:25):
Talk is on the exact same five G network, using
the exact same towers as one of those big carriers,
but for a heck of a lot less. In fact,
Pure Talk saves the average family over eight hundred dollars,

the EIB Networks. Welcome back into the Clay Travis and
Buck Sexton Show. Everyone. We got Thanksgiving tomorrow, just got
a little more time with you, hear on the air today.
(19:27):
I will be in manning the EIB solo, hopefully not
taking it any stormy waters without my man Clay, who's
gonna be on vacation on Friday. But we will be
having some fun with you Friday, so please do. It'll
be a live show on Friday twelve to three Eastern,
and I'll be here talking about all that. Certainly all
(19:48):
of us will be recovering, I assume from the Thanksgiving
feast and Clay, you know, I tried to look it
up in the break what the best Because if there's
always what's the best Christmas movie? Right, people get into
what is the best Christmas movie? And then of course
someone goes Little Diehard is or is not? And we
get in The Diehard. It's very straightforward. It takes place
on Christmas as a Christmas movie, but there's even some
(20:11):
Santa references. Regardless, we don't have to get into the
Diehard as a Christmas movie thing because it's Thanksgiving we're
talking about here. But other than a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,
can you even think of a Thanksgiving based movie off
the top of your head? I had to look it up.
That's a great question, you know, because I've been sitting
around with the boys, you know, and we're like, hey,
(20:32):
let's watch kind of some holiday ish movies. And I
actually ask them this question because they're better at searching
Netflix than I am, even though they're way younger than
I am. You know, they can zoom through and find everything.
And so as a result, Buck, we couldn't really find
anything Thanksgiving. Now, we watched a couple of Christmas movies already,
and my boys love The Floor is Lava, which is like,
(20:54):
have you ever heard of the floor as lava? Something
that I think a lot of parents know. It's like
a basically a game where you're trying to avoid falling
into lava in quotation marks, which is just a you know,
sort of orange water, but it's like you're trying to
make your way across a room. And my young boys,
every now and then, before this show would happened, we
would always be playing like, oh, the floor's lava, Dad,
(21:16):
you gotta get up on you know, like chairs or
whatever else in the room. And then we watch Nailed It,
which is like a cooking show. We've watched hours and
hours of that because I've been down with him for
the holidays. But I can't even think of a good
thanks It's a great point. I mean, there's the Charlie Brown,
I know, like old school, but I can't even think
of a good one. I got a surprise one for you,
(21:37):
WHOA Scent of a Woman is considered a Thanksgiving movie.
I only remember the I take a flamethrow to this
place line. I don't I saw the movie. It was
nineteen ninety two al Pacino and Chris O'Donnell, who was
having a big run in the nineties, and then he
played Robin in one of the really bad Batman and
(21:58):
Robin oh yeah, I remember, and vanished. Where did he go?
He doesn't think he's on like NCIS Tuscaloosa or something like,
he's on one of the uh, you know, one of
the variants of the NCIS show. But yeah, The Scent
of a Woman is among the most famous planes, trains,
and automobiles, which the crew in here an NYC is
(22:19):
getting psyched about. John Candy among it and Steve Martin.
Two comedy eighties comedy powerhouses. And then a movie that
I I have, Uh, let me see there was one
that I had never really heard of, but apparently it's
a big one. Um, oh, yeah, the Ice Storm. Do
you know the Ice Storm? Don't don't know that? One
(22:39):
than movie is Meet the Parents Christmas, by the way,
is that like a Christmas Meet the Parents? I can't
remember if I was thinking there might be a Thanksgiving
component to Meet the Parents, which was an absolutely hysterice
but you would think, given just the the the ripe
ground for dialogue and comedic interplay of actors sitting around
(23:01):
at table, I think about Christmas is sorry, Thanksgivings rather.
Growing up, we would often go to I have cousins
that actually, like a lot of people live in you know,
in the burbs, they have a house. I was in
New York. I grew up in an apartment. I lived
in apartments my whole lives, whole life, and I still do.
Six hundred square feet Travis, we have a very comfy
(23:22):
couch my friend. That not quite a pullout, but you
can lay flat on the sex and couch. So when
you're in New York, you don't need some fancy hotel.
The Busters got you covered. I don't even like New
York hotels because I'm not rich enough to say in
hotels typically that have like decent size in New York rooms,
I don't even like some of these, Like I feel
like I'm in a closet when I stay in a
(23:43):
hotel in a New York City hotel, Oftentimes I'm not.
I don't like being in apartments. My first year ever
living off the ground floor was when I was in
college in Washington, d C. I didn't even really like
that I was in a tiny little dorm room. I'm
a on the ground with my own plot of land
around me. Guy, I don't think. I don't think i'd
(24:03):
be comfortable in New York City. But I remember, even
when I was a young kid going to the big
suburban house with all the and my family. We would
have occasionally, like random priests would be invited to so
we'd have you know, father, so and so, who'd be
sitting there, there, there, and there's I got a lot
of cousins and everything else. There were fifteen, twenty thirty
people whatever, it was all gathered together. And I do remember,
(24:24):
even as a young kid hearing that it would always
it would all start out with how's everyone's family, and
then you get two hours into it, the red wine
has been flowing a little bit. It's like he's the
worst mayor in the history of America. Oh, it always happens.
It always happens. Did you guys play sports? Like, did
you play football outside? Used to throw football around and
basket mostly basketball. Actually, my cousins had a basketball like court,
(24:46):
you know, blacktop with a with a hoops. Are obsessed
And it's been fun as a dad the family football game.
Although I'm getting older and I was throwing like when
I finished the show today, I'm gonna be throwing football
around with my boys. But the number of injuries that
occur in a family football game. You got dad, uncle, grandpa,
(25:08):
some moms and ants and everything else. A lot of
people not that loose and limber as they used to be,
and all of a sudden you try to run fast,
and by fast, I mean faster than you ever run.
Otherwise those hammies go out. Those hammies. It's the injuries.
Those hammies get real tight from sitting around all day,
from all the time on the past, the radio, lots
(25:28):
of food. Yeah, it's it's everybody listen. Important safety tip
from Clay Travis and Buck Sexit. Okay, stretch out those
hammies before you go for the long bomb in the
end zone that you're you're you know your nephews trying
out for varsity this year is gonna throw to you.
Don't just take off. You are Some of you are
twenty five listening of this, but most of you are
no longer twenty five or fifteen for that matter. When
(25:49):
I feel, do you remember when you can just go
out and play sports in a jacket and tie and
you weren't even like sweaty afterwards. Yes, now I'm like,
oh gosh, I need to stretch, so I need some
Calcolm powder. You also used to be able to make
fun of people who were like stretching right when you're young.
The idea that you need to like get loose or
limber or stretch at all. You just start going like early.
(26:10):
My kids play football all day long every day. They're
playing right now with other kids in the neighborhood where
we are in Florida. The idea that any of them
would ever limber up or anything. But my eleven year
old wanted to race me like yesterday, and I was like,
I don't really know that I want to race like
because he's getting a lot faster and I'm afraid he's
gonna beat me sometime. But I beat him by like
(26:32):
a you gotta beat The world is a tough, cold,
cruel place. You got to show easy. I beat him,
but I had to give a little kick at the end,
and he was like, Dad, can we run again? And
I was like, Dad, does one race a day? One
race Dad a day? Like that's it. I'm not running
multiple sprints here and tearing my hamstring off the bone.
Anyone have any fun Thanksgiving traditions or anything you want
(26:53):
to throw in the mix here, If they've got a
special dish that they like to make that they think
everybody should consider part of this. We don't even get Jesse,
who right now the Turkey piranhas are feasting on him
after there's no commentary. Our friend Jesse Kelly, I was gonna.
I couldn't really, I should have reached out to Matt
Walsh on Twitter took the opposite. Matt Walsh with The
(27:15):
Daily Wire took the opposite position that Turkey if he
were the you know, the Emperor of America. Turkey we
mandated as a tradition at all Thanksgiving tables. So we've
got some conservative heavyweights really thrown down over the preferred
poultry for America's day of thanks There's no doubt we'll
come back close out the show, get you guys all
ready for your Thanksgiving. Bucklebee back on Friday, will play
(27:39):
a lot a best of and will also be incorporating
much of Rush for those of you out there who
has missed his Thanksgiving special. Our thanks to James Golden

if anybody has any issues with a family member who's
(30:05):
a pro Fauci masker when they put on their third

anxiety filled relative exactly what the issue is, you know,

(30:28):
iteas you got any issues with that, you can call

you know. And if somebody decides, if you know, if
they meet your or if they see your Annie or
your raised, I don't. I don't play cards. What is it?
What you know? If they meet you at the thing
you're doing, I don't know. Whatever the pope, you're gonna
leave me, Hagen, You're gonna leave you the trend just
taking your name Stover. We're not a card family, like
(30:50):
I don't know what you want to play a series
of poker with all the fancy famous team It hasn't
even it hasn't even aired yet. I got to play
in the world series The Poker Challenge Poker Stars Challenge.
It's gonna air on television at some point. I don't
know when that airs, but yeah, look, I will tell
you this. This is actually a pretty funny Thanksgiving story
for people who can get in trouble. Buck. This is
(31:12):
what happened to me. I was dating my wife, been
married seventeen years now, and I went to her house
for Thanksgiving. My nephew was probably five years old. And
if you've ever been out in the backyard. You were
talking about playing basketball, buck. You know, family thanksgives, by
the way, I don't doubt it. I don't doubt maybe
I doubt it. But we got we're in the backyard.
(31:32):
We're in the backyard and my five year old like, again,
he's my nephew. I'm not married yet to my wife.
One of the first thanksgivings I have spent with her
family outside of Detroit in Oakland County up in Michigan.
Got a lot of listeners up there, appreciate all y'all.
And so he says, like a lot of kids do, Hey,
can you put some Can I make some money by
(31:55):
making shots? Right? You know? Every now and then you're like, hey,
if you make that shot, I'll give you fifty cents
a dollar or whatever. Can you make free throws? So
we're playing and I say, okay, we'll do that. And
then we get to the end and he says, I
want to be able to get twenty dollars. He's got
ten dollars that I've given him over the course of
probably an hour and a half out yard. I said, okay,
here's what we're gonna do. We'll do double or nothing.
(32:18):
I'm gonna walk all the way to this end. I
mean it's like a half court shot at least. And
I said, hey, if I make this shot, then you
get twenty If I missed this shot, you get twenty bucks.
But if I make it, you'll lose the ten that
you have right now. Virtually no chance that I'm gonna
make this shot. I'm trying to give him twenty bucks.
(32:38):
I line it up and I absolutely drain it. The
kid immediately erupts in tears. My nephew, he's five years old.
He wasn't my nephew yet. Runs inside, runs inside crying
like crazy because I have taken he said, ten dollars
from him a gambling I'm not married yet, buck. This
(32:58):
is the first time I've ever met this family in
that engagement and get distance. Oh yeah, my girlfriend. Then
now my wife, furious at me, comes outside, says he
is crying. His mom is furious. Everybody is in an
uproar in this house over you taking ten dollars from
this five year old. I said, look, it was double
(33:18):
or nothing. You got. This shot that I hit was
really incredible. She picks up the basketball, throws it at me.
All right, goes back inside. I'm now outside by myself
at my soon to be in laws in the future,
not engaged, not married. My father in law comes outside.
He thinks it's hysterical. He's lad, like the whole house
I'm not kidding is in an uproar. I mean, there
(33:41):
is like pandemonium inside over me taking this ten dollars.
And he walks out and he just says, you know,
if you really needed ten bucks, you could have just
asked me. I really loved it to you. And so
I go inside and they're like, hey, what kind of
lesson are you trying to teach this kid? And I said, well,
you know, I mean if you bet double or nothing
and and you know, lose like that, I'm not just
(34:01):
gonna give you twenty bucks. I mean it was an
incredible shot that I hit. So the lesson here is,
if you are betting with young children for Thanksgiving, stick
to your guns, but also be aware that pandemonium can
ensue if you really have the stakes. Be like Red
and Green Eminem's Travis here say not taking the lunch
(34:22):
money from the youth. It was my money that he
risked and he lost it, and I'm sorry. And by
the way, his Uh, this is like, this is like
Clay Travis entrepreneur stories, like the way you know Carnegie
when he was a kid used to like you know,
or it was a Rockefeller used to sell candy to
the other kids. You're gonna get in wholesale and sell
it retail. I don't know if the kid has ever gambled.
(34:43):
So the lesson here can be if you take money
from kids at a young age, you can teach them
the dangers of being involved in sports gambling. And that's
when I did. Was this was this a sky hook
You strike me as a skyhook gun? No? No, no,
this I mean it was so far away. I mean
it was like you know, like I mean a half
court shot. You got to get a lot of the
body into it. It was more of almost like a
(35:04):
chess pass than a traditional shot in order to get it.
I mean it was a phenomenal shot. I don't want
to brag or draw attention to myself. It's probably the
greatest shot that's ever been hit at my father in
law's backyard. Twenty bucks or ten was worth twenty bucks.
I mean it was the chances of me hitting there's
a great bet the kid make the chances of me
making it probably you know, at best one in thirty
(35:26):
one in forty. I mean this is a long shot
past half court and I hadn't even attempted it drained it.
I mean I was pretty impressed with myself. And you know, frankly,
I won twenty bucks on there we go. Everybody see
it's a Thanksgiving miracle. Curtis, Clay, Travis. So we're really
looking forward to joining you all. Well, Clay's gonna be
on Friday. I'll be here Friday, but we'll be back
(35:47):
with you on Monday. In the meantime, I just want
to say you can discount all of our all of
our overly strong opinions on things like rolls and turkey
and eat whatever you like. Of course, have a fit
tastic Thanksgiving. It's not even really now we're getting in
the Christmas spirit, but for Thanksgiving it's not really about
the food. It's about the company and about warming what
(36:11):
is it? What does he say in the Groundhog Day,
warming our hearts and hearts punch Phil great movie too.
We had some other people Dutch with Ed O'Neill Scott
from California called them with that one and Kate in Nashville, Tennessee.
So The Accidental Tourist our Thanksgiving movies. So people want
Thanksgiving I don't even know what those are about. But
if they want Thanksgiving movies, there you go. It's funny.
(36:33):
She mentions The Accidental Tourist. My mom and dad took
me when I was a kid to go see The
Accidental Tourist. I was like eight. Was the worst decision
they ever made. It's like a super adult movie. I
think about like kids dying and thanks Anyway, that's probably
the worst movie they've ever taken me to. They still
regret it. I will say this from the bottom of
our hearts in all seriousness, not to get too sappy
on you, but we really appreciate getting to spend Thanksgiving
(36:54):
with you. Guys. We know how much many of you
meet Rush, Miss Rush, and we Death Spritley. Thank you
for being such a big part of our families already.
You guys are our extended radio family all across the country.
Hopefully you're going to really have some time to reflect, relax,
kick back, watch some sports, eat some great food. I'm
back with you Friday, Clean Are back with you, Monday,
(37:16):
Rush Memories Tomorrow on the air happy, Thanks, getting everybody
you're listening to. Clay Travis send buck sex to fundy
EID
The third hour of The Clay, Travis and Buck Sexton
Show is upon us. Buck here an NYC Clay down
in the Florida Panhando quite lovely. I hear this time
of year love heer than New York where it's freezing
and there are still Democrats in charge, so we got
to deal with that. But it is almost Thanksgiving. We're
very excited to get a chance to chat with all
of you across the country as you get ready for
(00:23):
the For many people, it's definitely a top three holiday,
right I think we're top five, some people number one.
They're big Thanksgiving folks, and we have much to be
thankful for despite all the problems, all the challenges, Glenn,
I speak with you about every day. We all have
things to be thankful for, and gathering with friends, loved
one's family, that's the way to do it. We unfortunately
(00:46):
have to deal with the reality of a COVID season
that is upon us as well. And I think Fauci
is starting to lose his grip over the public's mind.
I don't think he's able to just say listen to
me or else. So here he is actually calling out
by name a member of the news media I'm a
little sad Clay. It's not us, but we're working on
(01:06):
I come up with all the fingers fingers cross. I
call him the little tyrant lab coach Smurf. I mean,
I got all the names. You're here, rather there a
lot of them. Start up with the Buckster, but here
he is calling out none other than our friend Trucker
Carlson play six. I devoted my entire professional career of
fifty years to try and essentially safeguard and preserve the
(01:28):
health and the lives of the American people. And as
an infectious disease doctor who deals with outbreak that gets
really extended to the rest of the world, that's what
I do. The praise or the arrows and slings are
really irrelevant. I do what science drives you to do,
and that's what I do. And you know, I'm not
in it for a popularity contest. I'm trying to save lives,
(01:50):
and the people who weaponize lies are killing people. So
the only question I have is that when you show
Tucker Carlson and get in Navarro criticizing me, I consider
that a badge of honor. I considered a badge of
honor that Fauci's too chicken to come on our show
and answer. We would ask real questions, and I would
(02:12):
want real answers, not let him do the usual. Look
when he starts there with I've devoted my whole life
to saving lives all over the world. It's not about
the fame. I just have to be on TV every
thirty seconds, or else I shrivel up like a prune.
I gotta give credit buck to Tucker Carlson for taking
the slings and arrows. As doctor Fauci just reflected, I'd
(02:35):
not heard Tucker say anything inaccurate about COVID. In fact,
almost everything, it seems to me, including the writtenhouse interview
this week, Tucker's willing to stand up and say the
inconvenient truth in the face of an onslaught from the
mainstream media, including Fauci and others. We'll come back to
that and the fauci Ie madness this Thanksgiving in a
(02:56):
few moments. Here we are now joined by our friend
Jay was Golden. Many of you know him as mister
Bo Snardley. He's got a book out Rush on the radio,
a tribute from his sidekick for thirty years, James, my friend,
good to have you on. It is so good to
be here. Thank you for having me. And you know,
it's a little bit bitter sweet though, and feeling just
(03:19):
a little bit cheery and emotional because Thanksgiving, as you know,
you know, this was Russia's favorite time of year. And
I just remember last year at this very time, Rush
was telling all of us that he was comparing himself
to the way that lou Garrett felt, and he said
that he truly understood how lou Garrett felt facing the
(03:42):
terminal illness and still feeling like he was the luckiest
human being on the face of the earth. That was
Russia's Thanksgiving message last year, along with profound thanks for
this audience of which you are holding up the legacy
and we're so proud of you for doing that. So
this is but it's a little bit better sweet this
year as we remember that Thanksgiving story that Rush told
(04:06):
us that the true Thanksgiving story, which was of course
a class between socialism and what eventually won capitalism in
this country and individual achievement. So what a time of year,
What a time of year, And of course the beginning
of the Christmas season, which was just so special for
(04:27):
Rush and for all of us James. We appreciate you
coming on with us and sharing at to your point,
what is such a bitter sweet moment for many of
the people listening here who have for decades experience Thanksgiving
with Rush, and they don't have him for this first Thanksgiving.
And we're very honored to have you here. I assuming
you have seen the Wall Street Journal under siege for
(04:50):
publishing their Thanksgiving homily basically from the sixteen hundreds that
they've been publishing for decades to signify the importance of Thanksgiving.
How do you think Rush would have responded to the
Wall Street Journal standing up to people trying to cancel
their editorial and how pleased would he be with what
they wrote in response to those who would cancel them.
(05:14):
I think that he would be very happy to see
the Wall Street Journal taking a stand, especially when so
many others on that we wouldn't expect pave in to
this progressive madness that is sweeping across the nation that
tries to rid off of our history and our traditions.
(05:34):
You know, Rush was in many ways the first attempt
for the progressives and the liberals in this country to
try to begin their cancel culture war. It didn't work
with Rush and certainly with the wall Stree Journal today
with this attempt, and you know what, The Walls Threw
Journal is not the only ones coming under attack for
(05:54):
celebrating Thanksgiving. You can see across other outlets in the
mainstream media today very sly in some cases or another cases,
very outright and hostile attacks on the facts, giving traditions
as not being inclusive enough in our history. Look, we
Americans and Russia was so about this, being proud of America,
(06:19):
being optimistic that our best days is still ahead of us.
Being yes, we were aware of the things that happened
in our past, but we're also Russia was also the
eternal optimist about the good and great nature of the
American people and how we've overcome the things in our
past to become a great nation. And we are still
(06:41):
filled with the optimism that is great a superpower as
we are today, America's best days are still ahead of us.
We're speaking to James. Oh sorry, James. We're speaking of
James Golden, formerly known as Bo Snerdley by many of you.
It's got a book out Rush on the radio attribute
from his sidekick for thirty years. And as we're going
into they holiday tomorrow, James, people be looking for things
(07:04):
to read, of course, and a lot of them want
to know your thoughts, both on what Thanksgiving meant to Rush,
you and the whole team, and what was the mood
like in the studio on days where you were getting
ready for Thanksgiving when Rush was at the helm. Well,
we always look forward to the last hour of the
show because no matter what the news of the day was,
(07:24):
we knew that Rush was going to read again the
truth story of Thanksgiving. And it never got old, and
it never got tired. And we are and that tradition,
thankfully is continuing. Thank you that the tradition that Rush
started in this country, and now you're starting to see
more and more people aware of the story. We cannot also,
(07:46):
by the way, for parents with young children, the book
series that Rush and Catherine wrote on American history from
the first pilgrims in their journey here to this nation
all the way through the five book series. What a
wonderful Christmas gift that is for parents of young children
who want to teach their children the true nature of
(08:10):
American history and put in context this great country that
we are so blessed to live in, there's no doubt, James.
And by the way, for everybody out there who is
going to be listening to the show tomorrow, we will
be playing much of that from Rush on Thanksgiving, you
will hear his voice. For those of you who are
(08:31):
out there traveling or going to your own thanksgivings, James,
where will you be spending Thanksgiving? And what will you
be most thankful for yourself as you enter into the
holiday season. You know, this year, my nephew, his wife
and their infantus we just celebrated his third birthday two
(08:53):
days ago, and their son came out, and they came out,
they said, so that they could put some loving on
their uncle. And I am so happy to have to
be able to spend time with family this year. This
was a devastating year food, not just losing Rush. My
mom passed away three days after Rush. It has been
(09:14):
a devastating year and the losses have just been really
just searingly painful. But I am so grateful now looking
back and when it we had thirty years, thirty three
years of Rush on the air, We have thirty three
years of wonderful memories, of laughter, of his insights that
(09:36):
only he could give of his political wisdom, of his
irreverent humor, and it is so a blessing to now
look back over this incredible career that Rush Limbaugh had,
So I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful for all the
friends that I've met along the way. But you know,
you and I worked together. You were one of the
(09:58):
people that sat in that chair and Rush was away,
and it's so many great and wonderful people but I've
had a chance to meet and interact with. I'm so
grateful for that. Across the thirty years that I sprip
with Russia Lan Blah and the people that I still
with you and the people that were part of our
EIB family. So happy about that. It is just it
(10:22):
is still one of the most wonderful times of the year,
even though there's a big hole in my heart that
I don't think we'll ever be filled because Russia isn't here. James,
we really appreciate you joining us and sharing your memory,
of course of the man of self, Rush and your
experiences with him on Thanksgiving and also many times I
(10:42):
spent holidays with you and Russia was out taking much
deserve vacation with you and Mike and the rest of
the team here an Ali in New York City, so
some Memory Lane stuff there too. James Gold and everybody
check out his book. And James, we really appreciate you
being with us today. Thank you so much. Thank you
for having me. Happy Thanksgiving and happy Thanksgiving, and thank
(11:03):
you for keeping the legacy alive. Guys, thank you. James.
We want to tell you about tomorrow being a day
of thanks and we hope all of you can be
in the company of family and friends tomorrow as well
able to appreciate. As James was just talking about how
important your family and friends can be to you. There's
likely to be pictures taken, videos taken, and today we
(11:26):
do that with the ease from our cell phones. Those
have become our cameras. But a couple of decades ago
we used videocam quarters, expensive thirty five millimeter cameras. No more.
But what happened to all of those great pictures and videotapes.
If you're like most families, those videotapes and film, they're
stored away in boxes somewhere. The memories of Thanksgiving days
(11:48):
past are too valuable to even think of throwing them away.
But how do you watch them again. Legacy Box is
the answer. This is the company that takes every videotape,
every family film, every old cassette and digitizes it in
a way you can see all those memories again. They
ship your box, especially made box, and you fill it
(12:08):
full of your tapes and film all of your memories,
and then they digitally transfer all of those items that
matter so much to you and your family by hand
and return to them with you with a digital file
thumb drive that makes it instantly possible for you to
see and share again with these incredible memories forever and

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton fundy EIB that work. Welcome
(13:13):
back in. I appreciate all of you hanging out with us.
Our thanks to James Golden. Want to reemphasize for you
all out there that we will have many of the
best moments from Rusha's Thanksgiving tomorrow as a part of
the Best of Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. We
as always are honored to be sitting in front of
a couple of Golden microphones. We appreciate all of you.
(13:35):
We are thankful for all of you and the support
that you have given us. We are coming up on
a half year doing this show. We are having a
great deal of fun. We hope we're also educating, entertaining,
and continuing to fight the battles that matter so much
to Rush and that so many of you have spent
decades devoting During this time frame, We thank you both
(13:57):
Buck and I do and our families thank you as well.
Now that doesn't mean that we're going to stop ridiculing
all of the stupidity that is going on surrounding this
year's Thanksgiving. We played you NBC News reporting, Hey, maybe
you need a bouncer at the door because inflation costs
her up in order to get some of the money
(14:20):
to be able to cover the increased cost of a
Thanksgiving meal, how about CBS this morning. I want to
play this for you guys. CBS this morning said, hey,
maybe you should be doing COVID tests in your garage
before your Thanksgiving meals. This is the insanity or we
are dealing with. Listen to CBS this morning. It might
(14:42):
be a difficult conversation before people step into your house
to say, won't wait a minute, where's your card? What's
your status where you walk into my home. This is
tough because people are all over the map on this,
and they're also all over the map with their risk tolerance.
But the rapid tests have made this a lot easier
because whatever people's vaccination status is, we can actually confirm
(15:03):
safety on the spot. So if it feels like it's
going to be weird, maybe make it kind of fun.
Say we're going to start with or d'euvres in the garage.
You know, we'll have rings, we'll do our rapid test,
and now come on in, right, You can make it playful,
make it fun and then be able to enjoy the
holiday because you're not worried about safety. It's playful and fun.
Like the guy running a Soviet gulag showing you your
(15:27):
cell is playful and fun, give me a break. You
know in New York City, Clay, there are that school
kids for safety reasons, are told to eat their lunch
in the public school system. Here outside, sitting on the concrete.
It's thirty seven degrees outside right now, freezing their little
(15:47):
buns off. Because adults are lunatics who cannot think for themselves.
And this is what I want to tell we were
trying to solve problems. If you have that relative who
shows up and is going to do the mask up
between bites thing, you triple mask and you throw on
some goggles, and when your relative doesn't have their double
mask on, you say, how can you? How can you
(16:10):
pretend to take the virus seriously with only one layer
of cloth over your mouth? Inside at this table, sir?
How dare you? Can you imagine showing up for Thanksgiving dinner,
buck and having to take a COVID test in order
to eat Thanksgiving or to eat outdoors in the frigid cold,
as some people are going to do. I just look,
(16:32):
if you are elderly and you are worried, get your
booster shots. We've said this, get your COVID vaccine. As
ninety nine percent of people who are sixty five and
up have But at some point in time, when are
you gonna return to normalcy. I'm not a grandparent, right,
but I can't imagine isolating myself for two years from
(16:56):
my grandkids in order you're gonna look, I hate to
say it. I know it's Thanksgiving, so far as I know, Buck,
we're all gonna die. We're all gonna die, yep. And
so at some point, risk is a function of living
your life. You can't look, you're your danger. Everything we
do all day long, we talk about the numbers. It's
(17:17):
not even about number of people anymore. But Claken, we
just play out with this CBS discussion that they're having
is all about like your uncle Phil shows up. You're like, Phil,
haven't seen you? Well? Here, buddy, great to be here.
Just to stick this up your nose for a second.
All right, What if it's positive, then you're gonna be
telling Phil everybody's gonna die. I guess, I don't know.
You gotta kick him out. I mean, what if it's
a false positive and your uncle or your aunt, or
(17:40):
your grandma or your grandpa don't get to hang out
with anybody if he's asymptomatic and everyone's vaccinated. No soup
for you. Apparently you're sent down into the cold. You
don't care about the flu. You don't care about a cold.
You don't care about any other communicable disease which has
been spread since time immemorial, since Squanto is it Squanto?
(18:01):
Squanto and the other Indians and the Bradfords and everybody
got together. They were probably they were probably spreading some
diseases at the first Thanksgiving, because you know what, they're humans,
and that's what humans do. What you got four stuck?
You're already spending too much money on gas, food and
college for the kids. Don't overpay for cell service. Pierre

gonna be on vacation on Friday. But we will be
having some fun with you Friday, so please do. It'll
be a live show on Friday twelve to three Eastern,
and I'll be here talking about all that. Certainly all
(19:48):
of us will be recovering, I assume from the Thanksgiving
feast and Clay, you know, I tried to look it
up in the break what the best Because if there's
always what's the best Christmas movie? Right, people get into
what is the best Christmas movie? And then of course
someone goes Little Diehard is or is not? And we
get in The Diehard. It's very straightforward. It takes place
on Christmas as a Christmas movie, but there's even some
(20:11):
Santa references. Regardless, we don't have to get into the
Diehard as a Christmas movie thing because it's Thanksgiving we're
talking about here. But other than a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,
can you even think of a Thanksgiving based movie off
the top of your head? I had to look it up.
That's a great question, you know, because I've been sitting
around with the boys, you know, and we're like, hey,
(20:32):
let's watch kind of some holiday ish movies. And I
actually ask them this question because they're better at searching
Netflix than I am, even though they're way younger than
I am. You know, they can zoom through and find everything.
And so as a result, Buck, we couldn't really find
anything Thanksgiving. Now, we watched a couple of Christmas movies already,
and my boys love The Floor is Lava, which is like,
(20:54):
have you ever heard of the floor as lava? Something
that I think a lot of parents know. It's like
a basically a game where you're trying to avoid falling
into lava in quotation marks, which is just a you know,
sort of orange water, but it's like you're trying to
make your way across a room. And my young boys,
every now and then, before this show would happened, we
would always be playing like, oh, the floor's lava, Dad,
(21:16):
you gotta get up on you know, like chairs or
whatever else in the room. And then we watch Nailed It,
which is like a cooking show. We've watched hours and
hours of that because I've been down with him for
the holidays. But I can't even think of a good
thanks It's a great point. I mean, there's the Charlie Brown,
I know, like old school, but I can't even think
of a good one. I got a surprise one for you,
(21:37):
WHOA Scent of a Woman is considered a Thanksgiving movie.
I only remember the I take a flamethrow to this
place line. I don't I saw the movie. It was
nineteen ninety two al Pacino and Chris O'Donnell, who was
having a big run in the nineties, and then he
played Robin in one of the really bad Batman and
(21:58):
Robin oh yeah, I remember, and vanished. Where did he go?
He doesn't think he's on like NCIS Tuscaloosa or something like,
he's on one of the uh, you know, one of
the variants of the NCIS show. But yeah, The Scent
of a Woman is among the most famous planes, trains,
and automobiles, which the crew in here an NYC is
(22:19):
getting psyched about. John Candy among it and Steve Martin.
Two comedy eighties comedy powerhouses. And then a movie that
I I have, Uh, let me see there was one
that I had never really heard of, but apparently it's
a big one. Um, oh, yeah, the Ice Storm. Do
you know the Ice Storm? Don't don't know that? One
(22:39):
than movie is Meet the Parents Christmas, by the way,
is that like a Christmas Meet the Parents? I can't
remember if I was thinking there might be a Thanksgiving
component to Meet the Parents, which was an absolutely hysterice
but you would think, given just the the the ripe
ground for dialogue and comedic interplay of actors sitting around
(23:01):
at table, I think about Christmas is sorry, Thanksgivings rather.
Growing up, we would often go to I have cousins
that actually, like a lot of people live in you know,
in the burbs, they have a house. I was in
New York. I grew up in an apartment. I lived
in apartments my whole lives, whole life, and I still do.
Six hundred square feet Travis, we have a very comfy
(23:22):
couch my friend. That not quite a pullout, but you
can lay flat on the sex and couch. So when
you're in New York, you don't need some fancy hotel.
The Busters got you covered. I don't even like New
York hotels because I'm not rich enough to say in
hotels typically that have like decent size in New York rooms,
I don't even like some of these, Like I feel
like I'm in a closet when I stay in a
(23:43):
hotel in a New York City hotel, Oftentimes I'm not.
I don't like being in apartments. My first year ever
living off the ground floor was when I was in
college in Washington, d C. I didn't even really like
that I was in a tiny little dorm room. I'm
a on the ground with my own plot of land
around me. Guy, I don't think. I don't think i'd
(24:03):
be comfortable in New York City. But I remember, even
when I was a young kid going to the big
suburban house with all the and my family. We would
have occasionally, like random priests would be invited to so
we'd have you know, father, so and so, who'd be
sitting there, there, there, and there's I got a lot
of cousins and everything else. There were fifteen, twenty thirty
people whatever, it was all gathered together. And I do remember,
(24:24):
even as a young kid hearing that it would always
it would all start out with how's everyone's family, and
then you get two hours into it, the red wine
has been flowing a little bit. It's like he's the
worst mayor in the history of America. Oh, it always happens.
It always happens. Did you guys play sports? Like, did
you play football outside? Used to throw football around and
basket mostly basketball. Actually, my cousins had a basketball like court,
(24:46):
you know, blacktop with a with a hoops. Are obsessed
And it's been fun as a dad the family football game.
Although I'm getting older and I was throwing like when
I finished the show today, I'm gonna be throwing football
around with my boys. But the number of injuries that
occur in a family football game. You got dad, uncle, grandpa,
(25:08):
some moms and ants and everything else. A lot of
people not that loose and limber as they used to be,
and all of a sudden you try to run fast,
and by fast, I mean faster than you ever run.
Otherwise those hammies go out. Those hammies. It's the injuries.
Those hammies get real tight from sitting around all day,
from all the time on the past, the radio, lots
(25:28):
of food. Yeah, it's it's everybody listen. Important safety tip
from Clay Travis and Buck Sexit. Okay, stretch out those
hammies before you go for the long bomb in the
end zone that you're you're you know your nephews trying
out for varsity this year is gonna throw to you.
Don't just take off. You are Some of you are
twenty five listening of this, but most of you are
no longer twenty five or fifteen for that matter. When
(25:49):
I feel, do you remember when you can just go
out and play sports in a jacket and tie and
you weren't even like sweaty afterwards. Yes, now I'm like,
oh gosh, I need to stretch, so I need some
Calcolm powder. You also used to be able to make
fun of people who were like stretching right when you're young.
The idea that you need to like get loose or
limber or stretch at all. You just start going like early.
(26:10):
My kids play football all day long every day. They're
playing right now with other kids in the neighborhood where
we are in Florida. The idea that any of them
would ever limber up or anything. But my eleven year
old wanted to race me like yesterday, and I was like,
I don't really know that I want to race like
because he's getting a lot faster and I'm afraid he's
gonna beat me sometime. But I beat him by like
(26:32):
a you gotta beat The world is a tough, cold,
cruel place. You got to show easy. I beat him,
but I had to give a little kick at the end,
and he was like, Dad, can we run again? And
I was like, Dad, does one race a day? One
race Dad a day? Like that's it. I'm not running
multiple sprints here and tearing my hamstring off the bone.
Anyone have any fun Thanksgiving traditions or anything you want
(26:53):
to throw in the mix here, If they've got a
special dish that they like to make that they think
everybody should consider part of this. We don't even get Jesse,
who right now the Turkey piranhas are feasting on him
after there's no commentary. Our friend Jesse Kelly, I was gonna.
I couldn't really, I should have reached out to Matt
Walsh on Twitter took the opposite. Matt Walsh with The
(27:15):
Daily Wire took the opposite position that Turkey if he
were the you know, the Emperor of America. Turkey we
mandated as a tradition at all Thanksgiving tables. So we've
got some conservative heavyweights really thrown down over the preferred
poultry for America's day of thanks There's no doubt we'll
come back close out the show, get you guys all
ready for your Thanksgiving. Bucklebee back on Friday, will play

(30:50):
I don't know what you want to play a series
of poker with all the fancy famous team It hasn't
even it hasn't even aired yet. I got to play
in the world series The Poker Challenge Poker Stars Challenge.
It's gonna air on television at some point. I don't
know when that airs, but yeah, look, I will tell
you this. This is actually a pretty funny Thanksgiving story
for people who can get in trouble. Buck. This is
(31:12):
what happened to me. I was dating my wife, been
married seventeen years now, and I went to her house
for Thanksgiving. My nephew was probably five years old. And
if you've ever been out in the backyard. You were
talking about playing basketball, buck. You know, family thanksgives, by
the way, I don't doubt it. I don't doubt maybe
I doubt it. But we got we're in the backyard.
(31:32):
We're in the backyard and my five year old like, again,
he's my nephew. I'm not married yet to my wife.
One of the first thanksgivings I have spent with her
family outside of Detroit in Oakland County up in Michigan.
Got a lot of listeners up there, appreciate all y'all.
And so he says, like a lot of kids do, Hey,
can you put some Can I make some money by
(31:55):
making shots? Right? You know? Every now and then you're like, hey,
if you make that shot, I'll give you fifty cents
a dollar or whatever. Can you make free throws? So
we're playing and I say, okay, we'll do that. And
then we get to the end and he says, I
want to be able to get twenty dollars. He's got
ten dollars that I've given him over the course of
probably an hour and a half out yard. I said, okay,
here's what we're gonna do. We'll do double or nothing.
(32:18):
I'm gonna walk all the way to this end. I
mean it's like a half court shot at least. And
I said, hey, if I make this shot, then you
get twenty If I missed this shot, you get twenty bucks.
But if I make it, you'll lose the ten that
you have right now. Virtually no chance that I'm gonna
make this shot. I'm trying to give him twenty bucks.
(32:38):
I line it up and I absolutely drain it. The
kid immediately erupts in tears. My nephew, he's five years old.
He wasn't my nephew yet. Runs inside, runs inside crying
like crazy because I have taken he said, ten dollars
from him a gambling I'm not married yet, buck. This
(32:58):
is the first time I've ever met this family in
that engagement and get distance. Oh yeah, my girlfriend. Then
now my wife, furious at me, comes outside, says he
is crying. His mom is furious. Everybody is in an
uproar in this house over you taking ten dollars from
this five year old. I said, look, it was double
(33:18):
or nothing. You got. This shot that I hit was
really incredible. She picks up the basketball, throws it at me.
All right, goes back inside. I'm now outside by myself
at my soon to be in laws in the future,
not engaged, not married. My father in law comes outside.
He thinks it's hysterical. He's lad, like the whole house
I'm not kidding is in an uproar. I mean, there
(33:41):
is like pandemonium inside over me taking this ten dollars.
And he walks out and he just says, you know,
if you really needed ten bucks, you could have just
asked me. I really loved it to you. And so
I go inside and they're like, hey, what kind of
lesson are you trying to teach this kid? And I said, well,
you know, I mean if you bet double or nothing
and and you know, lose like that, I'm not just
(34:01):
gonna give you twenty bucks. I mean it was an
incredible shot that I hit. So the lesson here is,
if you are betting with young children for Thanksgiving, stick
to your guns, but also be aware that pandemonium can
ensue if you really have the stakes. Be like Red
and Green Eminem's Travis here say not taking the lunch
(34:22):
money from the youth. It was my money that he
risked and he lost it, and I'm sorry. And by
the way, his Uh, this is like, this is like
Clay Travis entrepreneur stories, like the way you know Carnegie
when he was a kid used to like you know,
or it was a Rockefeller used to sell candy to
the other kids. You're gonna get in wholesale and sell
it retail. I don't know if the kid has ever gambled.
(34:43):
So the lesson here can be if you take money
from kids at a young age, you can teach them
the dangers of being involved in sports gambling. And that's
when I did. Was this was this a sky hook
You strike me as a skyhook gun? No? No, no,
this I mean it was so far away. I mean
it was like you know, like I mean a half
court shot. You got to get a lot of the
body into it. It was more of almost like a
(35:04):
chess pass than a traditional shot in order to get it.
I mean it was a phenomenal shot. I don't want
to brag or draw attention to myself. It's probably the
greatest shot that's ever been hit at my father in
law's backyard. Twenty bucks or ten was worth twenty bucks.
I mean it was the chances of me hitting there's
a great bet the kid make the chances of me
making it probably you know, at best one in thirty
(35:26):
one in forty. I mean this is a long shot
past half court and I hadn't even attempted it drained it.
I mean I was pretty impressed with myself. And you know, frankly,
I won twenty bucks on there we go. Everybody see
it's a Thanksgiving miracle. Curtis, Clay, Travis. So we're really
looking forward to joining you all. Well, Clay's gonna be
on Friday. I'll be here Friday, but we'll be back
(35:47):
with you on Monday. In the meantime, I just want
to say you can discount all of our all of
our overly strong opinions on things like rolls and turkey
and eat whatever you like. Of course, have a fit
tastic Thanksgiving. It's not even really now we're getting in
the Christmas spirit, but for Thanksgiving it's not really about
the food. It's about the company and about warming what
(36:11):
is it? What does he say in the Groundhog Day,
warming our hearts and hearts punch Phil great movie too.
We had some other people Dutch with Ed O'Neill Scott
from California called them with that one and Kate in Nashville, Tennessee.
So The Accidental Tourist our Thanksgiving movies. So people want
Thanksgiving I don't even know what those are about. But
if they want Thanksgiving movies, there you go. It's funny.
(36:33):
She mentions The Accidental Tourist. My mom and dad took
me when I was a kid to go see The
Accidental Tourist. I was like eight. Was the worst decision
they ever made. It's like a super adult movie. I
think about like kids dying and thanks Anyway, that's probably
the worst movie they've ever taken me to. They still
regret it. I will say this from the bottom of
our hearts in all seriousness, not to get too sappy
on you, but we really appreciate getting to spend Thanksgiving
(36:54):
with you. Guys. We know how much many of you
meet Rush, Miss Rush, and we Death Spritley. Thank you
for being such a big part of our families already.
You guys are our extended radio family all across the country.
Hopefully you're going to really have some time to reflect, relax,
kick back, watch some sports, eat some great food. I'm
back with you Friday, Clean Are back with you, Monday,
(37:16):
Rush Memories Tomorrow on the air happy, Thanks, getting everybody
