The Sunday Hang with Clay and Buck podcast starts now.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
I went to a wedding Saturday, Buck, and you were
just telling me this detail off the air. Congratulations to
my cousin, Jennifer. She is an Alabama graduate and she
married an LSU graduate. She is role tiede and he
is a Bayou Bingal And there were no fights and
so maybe there is hope for our country after all.
Though people are pointing out that it was a July
(00:31):
wedding and not a fall wedding season, in which case
there may be more conflict coming. But I did think
this was interesting. But by the way, one of the speeches,
you'll appreciate this, Buck. One of the speeches at the wedding,
guy said he was suspicious immediately because his brother was
telling him where she went to high school. It's like,
(00:51):
why are you not saying where she went to college?
And so he said, I knew, as an LSU guy
then that I should be suspicious that there might be
something afoot here. He didn't want to say that she
went to Alabama. But if they can get along, anybody can.
But I saw this. There are now brides charging people
admission prices for their wedding. You have to buy a
ticket selling tickets. New York Post reporting on this today
(01:15):
a new trend of midweek destination wedding.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
So think about that.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Oh you have to go to take multiple you know,
the Cayman Islands. Yeah, on Wednesday, because that's when we're
getting married, because it's cheaper than doing it on a weekend.
Brunch weddings, so you have a wedding in the morning
and then everyone has brunch. I guess at noon. This
is all just about venues and costs and everything. Or
the most controversial which Clay started with selling tickets like
(01:43):
you're going to a t Swift concert, but really it's
so that you can see Tom and Sally get hitched.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Have you ever been to a wedding that you would
buy a ticket for? I know everybody has to give
I look, monetary donations.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Not involving immediate family, in which case you're obligated to. No,
there's never been a wedding where I was like, you
know what, I'm gonna buy a ticket to go to this.
In fact, I would do the I would pay to
not go to. Most of the weddings that I've been to.
I know that makes me sound like the wedding grinch,
but you know, I've just I've been to too many weddings.
I've been to like fifty weddings in my life, and
I think I needed to be really at ten of them.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I think, yeah, that's a good I think all of
the guys that I know, I might have to go
to some second weddings, but everybody that I know, everybody
that I like, has has already gotten married. I think
I'm on to the next iteration is going to be
basically kid weddings of but you know friends.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
But I was, I say, you've got three boys, so
as they get older, the thing is, you're not gonna
have to worry about actually you know, the whole wedding aspect,
because I am going to end up paying for all
three of those weddings. Okay, well, at least you'll hire
you'll hire a wedding plan. They're not going to know
any of the details. But I saw what weddings cost.
Now outrageous, I could I like my jaw dropped. I
don't know how any parent out there can hardly afford
(03:00):
I'm going to tell you all something now, especially for
those of you who are still planning a wedding or
I don't usually say do what I do. Well, maybe
I say that. But Carrie and I did big party,
all of our friends, just a party in New York City.
Two hundred people at the party. Okay, big party. And
it was just a party with one toast. And you
can have that, and you can have that at you know,
(03:21):
your local dance hall or whatever you want, whatever you
want to do it. And then we had a church
wedding for immediate family only. It was about twenty twenty
five people, and then we went out to dinner. Yeah,
and we wouldn't change a thing about it. And if
I told you the cost how low it is, you'd
be like, wow, you guys are thrifty. But I didn't
want to spend in New York City, you can spend.
(03:43):
I didn't want to tell you, guys on two hundred
three hundred thousand dollars on a wedding in the blink
of an eye. So we did it at about the
national average level. We're so happy. So just do that,
man Clay. Tell people to throw a party for the
engagement and they just have a nice small wedding. You
don't need three hundred people at your wedding.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I would even suggest a loping, taking the money that
you would have spent on the wedding and putting it
towards your first residency. But that's me being an old.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Clay would use the money from the wedding to start
a media company.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
So that's actually that could really pay off, or you
could lose it all Sunday.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Hey, I'm gonna go stick my head in like a steam.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I mean, here's the question. Are you gonna be able
to host the show solo tomorrow? You're gonna have to
have twenty four guests. I mean, your voice is in
rough shape. This summer cold has got you down.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
I drink a lot of ginger with honey and lemon,
and I should be okay. This is a reminder for me, though, Clay,
that Miami Beach has made certainly my immune system soft.
The weather where I am now dropped down into like
the mid sixties, and suddenly I'm just like a mess.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
You know, I'm using where like it's freezing outside right now.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
It's freezing outside. I've ordered so many sweatshirts already. So yeah,
I left the Tropics for a week and already I'm
coming down with.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
This reminds me buck, you know, when La Laura and
I are having our twentieth anniversary, But when we first
got married, we moved two days after we got married
to the US Virgin Islands, and I practice law down there,
and obviously it's very warm all year round there, but
I remember thinking how crazy it was in December and January.
The locals won't get in the water because they say
(05:14):
it's too cold. And you know, like all the American
tourists just flood into the islands on a regular basis
and go sprinting right into the water. But when you're
down there and you get used to the warm weather,
they're like, you're gonna get in the water in December
and January, you know, it's still very warm. In American
tourists and foreign tourists they have no concerns at all
(05:35):
about it, but the locals will just say, are you kidding,
like and water's freezing.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I remember going to school in Massachusetts for college and
the Pioneer Valley, and I remember walking around on different
days and I wasn't the only one in like sandals
and a T shirt when there was still snow on
the ground. But it was like a somewhat sunny ish
day for March. You know, you got you got like
(06:01):
a fifty five degree day in March and you're wearing
a T shirt walking around. Your body acclimates so much.
I mean, the people listening to us, who are you
know who live in Montana and North Dakota and Alaska,
they can handle so much more cold, especially than those
like South South Florida. Man, it's beautiful, everybody, but it is.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
It is not.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
You would not do well and seal like buds training,
you know what I mean when you're in the cold water.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Oo. No, none of that for me.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
So I'll be all right, though.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
I think I'm just gonna have to have to hid
you a lot, tell everybody about about twentieth anniversary plans
because you're out tomorrow and all of next week. So
it's gonna be just he's leaving me in charge of
the house. There will be there will be part of
it there.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I hope you get your house. Your voice, your voice survives. Yeah. Look,
I've been married next week twenty years and so given
what we do and how chaotic the summer has already been,
my kids are already back in school in the South
because we go back early in ten to see and
I know I'm going to be on the road for
college football for Fox Sports a decent amount. The election
(07:06):
is going on and we're going to be doing all
sorts of crazy stuff. So I know, basically from September
all the way through. Frankly, the election is just going
to be pure chaos and you're gonna have to be here.
So I said, I put on the calendar a while ago.
I was like, I saw that it was in between
the conventions and everything else. Didn't know when the debates
were going to be, And I said, I want to
(07:27):
make sure that I get away and that we celebrate
twenty years of being married. So thanks to my wife Laura,
who has managed to deal with me for twenty years
and now has to deal not only with me, but
three a sixteen, thirteen, and a nine year old boy.
So she basically lives in a frat house now. And
so we're gonna get away. We're gonna be in Colorado
(07:48):
whether it should be perfect there and uh and just
chill for a few days and then I'll be back
in uh what like, for for the Democrat National Convention
beginning uh, and then we'll see how the k I honestly,
I'm to try to leave my phone a little bit,
but it's like any moment, anything could happen. We're in
such a crazy news cycle.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
We do.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
We do have a habit of you go on vacation
and you know, China invades Taiwan. I mean that that
is definitely the rhythm of the last year or so.
But let me ask you this, because we're doing so
much politics these days, what is now that you've been
married twenty years, what is the best piece of marriage
advice that you were given by anyone?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Oh on that I found to be true? Yeah, yeah,
because everybody when you get married gives you advice, and uh,
I'm my best advice. So this is my best advice
for who you get married. To pick someone who you'd
want to be in a fox hole with, because especially
when you start having kids, life's pressures grow. You want
(08:54):
to limit the amount of time that you're turned yelling
at each other when it feels like there's bullets coming
in every direction metaphorically, right, you want to find someone
that you can feel like is going to be a
great teammate. And if you're gonna have kids, you want
to you want to find someone that you would like to,
you know, share half of your DNA with, have with
half of their DNA, and try to make the world
(09:15):
a little bit better place in the process. I mean,
certainly for anybody out there having kids, my best advice
would be try to laugh. I mean, I mean, just
in general, I think a sense of humor is really
really important, and and a sense for perspective and then
find uh. So by perspective, I mean you can't treat
(09:38):
every single thing that goes awry as if it's the
worst thing that's ever existed in your life. I think
a lot of times, uh, people people presume that that
it's big things that create an issue, and that can
be true, but I think a lot of times it's
small things kind of piling up. Here's what I have found.
Uh most men and get married, and whoever they marry,
(10:02):
they would like that to be the person that they're
with the rest of their lives. Like you like how
pretty she is, you like her personality, you like everything
about her. Most women marry thinking he's okay, but I
can build him into something else that will be better.
I think this is a general rule. I mean, there's
people out there I think that would acknowledge there are exceptions.
(10:23):
But I think a lot of women look at men
as unfinished products and men look at women as finished products.
And I think that dynamic of trying to contemplate it,
I don't know the best The best advice I would
say is, uh, this is for me. Let figure out
(10:43):
what your sphere of influence is. I don't make any
decisions in the house, like, like even right now, like
I'm not aware of, you know, anything that has to
go on in general with the physical house. We're building
a house. I know I was involved in very few
of the details. Find someone that you can trust to
be really good at a lot of things so that
(11:05):
you can focus on other things and try to be
good at them too, right, Like, there is a concept
of partnership, but I don't think it should be fifty
to fifty on everything. I think everybody should have fears
of influence. Mine we can take relative relatively limited. We
can take Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
When it comes to sec sports betting, I think Laura
lets you take the lead, which is nice of.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Her, which may not be great for her, by the way,
depending on the season.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Well, happy anniversary to you.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Thank you. Sundays with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Clay, When are we going to get a Teddy update?
By the way, he's doing fabulously well. No photos for
Clay and for the website, you know, don't you know?
I gotta be the one. I gotta make sure that
Clay is giving you as our clan. Buck VIPs what
you need at clan.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
We need more happy all right, Ali, I am sending
you my fabulous dad with a puppy. My dad is
about to turn eighty years old in October, and he
is sitting with Teddy, the Australian laborerdoodle in the photo
that I just sent to Ali, which we can now
place on the website. And I think that it will
(12:13):
be I think you guys will look at it and say,
my goodness, that's a really cute dog's Early eightieth birthday
to Norm Travis.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Happy fdath birthday to Norm Travis.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Sunday hang with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I thought I'd finished with some fun little drama inside
the household here.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
So I was down on the road.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
As I mentioned with Buck, we were with a lot
of advertisers for several days to start the week. We
were down in South Florida, come back home, and there's
a controversy inside of the house. It seems that my
thirteen and nine year old who were on summer break
and have been playing a lot of video games, probably
like your kids or grandkids have, especially with the new
(12:57):
college football video game is out. In fact, I bet
a lot of you listening to me right now have
been playing that college football game yourself, regardless of how
old you are. Also, then Fortnite, a lot of MLB
the show Major League Baseball fans here. The kids are
big Braves fans, and I've adopted the Braves as my
team as well. Turns out, unexpectedly a hole has shown
(13:20):
up in the wall near where the video games are played,
and my wife saw it first. Ask the boys. My
oldest boy has been away at camp, so he has
got a great alibi. He was not involved. Oldest son
is safe, she asked the thirteen and the nine year old.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Should be noted that like a lot of boys that age,
they are constantly wrestling and constantly throwing balls around games.
Sometimes a remote video game controller will get thrown in
anger over the game cheating. That's a direct quote the
game cheating and so she said, what, boys, how did
(14:03):
we end up with a hole in the wall? They said,
the cat did it four foot high on the wall.
So I came upstairs and I used to play judge
dad when they were really little and they would get
into arguments with each other. I would say, Okay, you're
going to stand in front of me. I'm the judge.
(14:24):
You make the case for what you believe your brother
did what he did wrong, and I will listen to
You can't talk while your brother talks. It's like a judge.
Make your case, and then your brother can make the case,
and I'll rule and find out who's telling the truth
and split the baby like King Solomon. And so I said,
hold on, you're telling me that one of the cats.
(14:46):
These are not, by the way, leopards. This is not
a Florida panther, this is not a We are not
keeping tigers or lions inside of the Travis household. These
are Bengal cats. And I'm not a fan of these
cats in the first So probably somebody's gonna clip this
and put me alongside of Jade Vance and the childless
cat ladies are going to be after me too, not
(15:06):
Travis Choyce was not mine. During COVID, my wife had
the boys, when they were out of school, give a
persuasive speech on why we needed cats, and I was
outvoted in my house four to one, so I am
not in favor of them having been there. I will say, however,
the cats putting a hole in the wall through and
I said, well, how do they do this? They said,
(15:29):
I guess dad, I guess dad. They just ran full
speed and rammed their head into the wall and broke
the wall. I said, this is you guys, understand, this
is like the worst argument that anybody has ever made.
I do respect the fact that they were willing to
(15:49):
not sell out each other in some way, that they
were aligned as brothers should be. The comments to this
are really funny. But I said, hey, you know, so
you guys, I'm going to put this on Twitter and
I'm going to let my Twitter audience vote on whether
they believe that you are telling the truth or not.
(16:11):
And my nine year old, you know, I said, here's
your story. Let me. I'm going to read it to you.
You confirm yes, this is your story and that this
is what you are saying. And I said, how do
you think this is going to go. Do you think
the followers of America Clay and Buck at Clay Travis
on Twitter, do you think they're going to believe you?
(16:32):
Do you think they're going to find your argument to
be persuasive? And they were convinced. They were like, this
is a great argument. They're definitely going to buy into
what we are trying to sell here. So I put
it on Twitter. Over thirty thousand of you have voted,
and eighty five percent said no, they're lying. Fifteen percent
(16:55):
of you said they're truthful. And I just wanted to
close with this. My nine year old, right as I
sent this, said, the world will believe me. The world
will believe me. The world does not believe me. But
I close with that story to tell you guys this.
Enjoy your families, have fantastic weekends with everybody, and hopefully
(17:16):
your cats don't put big holes in your wall right
by the video game systems either,
Bold, reverence, and occasionally random.

I was like, I saw that it was in between
the conventions and everything else. Didn't know when the debates
were going to be, And I said, I want to
(07:27):
make sure that I get away and that we celebrate
twenty years of being married. So thanks to my wife Laura,
who has managed to deal with me for twenty years
and now has to deal not only with me, but
three a sixteen, thirteen, and a nine year old boy.
So she basically lives in a frat house now. And
so we're gonna get away. We're gonna be in Colorado
(07:48):
whether it should be perfect there and uh and just
chill for a few days and then I'll be back
in uh what like, for for the Democrat National Convention
beginning uh, and then we'll see how the k I honestly,
I'm to try to leave my phone a little bit,
but it's like any moment, anything could happen. We're in
such a crazy news cycle.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
We do.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
We do have a habit of you go on vacation
and you know, China invades Taiwan. I mean that that
is definitely the rhythm of the last year or so.
But let me ask you this, because we're doing so
much politics these days, what is now that you've been
married twenty years, what is the best piece of marriage
advice that you were given by anyone?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Oh on that I found to be true? Yeah, yeah,
because everybody when you get married gives you advice, and uh,
I'm my best advice. So this is my best advice
for who you get married. To pick someone who you'd
want to be in a fox hole with, because especially
when you start having kids, life's pressures grow. You want
(08:54):
to limit the amount of time that you're turned yelling
at each other when it feels like there's bullets coming
in every direction metaphorically, right, you want to find someone
that you can feel like is going to be a
great teammate. And if you're gonna have kids, you want
to you want to find someone that you would like to,
you know, share half of your DNA with, have with
half of their DNA, and try to make the world
(09:15):
a little bit better place in the process. I mean,
certainly for anybody out there having kids, my best advice
would be try to laugh. I mean, I mean, just
in general, I think a sense of humor is really
really important, and and a sense for perspective and then
find uh. So by perspective, I mean you can't treat
(09:38):
every single thing that goes awry as if it's the
worst thing that's ever existed in your life. I think
a lot of times, uh, people people presume that that
it's big things that create an issue, and that can
be true, but I think a lot of times it's
small things kind of piling up. Here's what I have found.
Uh most men and get married, and whoever they marry,
(10:02):
they would like that to be the person that they're
with the rest of their lives. Like you like how
pretty she is, you like her personality, you like everything
about her. Most women marry thinking he's okay, but I
can build him into something else that will be better.
I think this is a general rule. I mean, there's
people out there I think that would acknowledge there are exceptions.
(10:23):
But I think a lot of women look at men
as unfinished products and men look at women as finished products.
And I think that dynamic of trying to contemplate it,
I don't know the best The best advice I would
say is, uh, this is for me. Let figure out
(10:43):
what your sphere of influence is. I don't make any
decisions in the house, like, like even right now, like
I'm not aware of, you know, anything that has to
go on in general with the physical house. We're building
a house. I know I was involved in very few
of the details. Find someone that you can trust to
be really good at a lot of things so that
(11:05):
you can focus on other things and try to be
good at them too, right, Like, there is a concept
of partnership, but I don't think it should be fifty
to fifty on everything. I think everybody should have fears
of influence. Mine we can take relative relatively limited. We
can take Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
When it comes to sec sports betting, I think Laura
lets you take the lead, which is nice of.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Her, which may not be great for her, by the way,
depending on the season.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Well, happy anniversary to you.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Thank you. Sundays with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Clay, When are we going to get a Teddy update?
By the way, he's doing fabulously well. No photos for
Clay and for the website, you know, don't you know?
I gotta be the one. I gotta make sure that
Clay is giving you as our clan. Buck VIPs what
you need at clan.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
We need more happy all right, Ali, I am sending
you my fabulous dad with a puppy. My dad is
about to turn eighty years old in October, and he
is sitting with Teddy, the Australian laborerdoodle in the photo
that I just sent to Ali, which we can now
place on the website. And I think that it will
(12:13):
be I think you guys will look at it and say,
my goodness, that's a really cute dog's Early eightieth birthday
to Norm Travis.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Happy fdath birthday to Norm Travis.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Sunday hang with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I thought I'd finished with some fun little drama inside
the household here.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
So I was down on the road.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
As I mentioned with Buck, we were with a lot
of advertisers for several days to start the week. We
were down in South Florida, come back home, and there's
a controversy inside of the house. It seems that my
thirteen and nine year old who were on summer break
and have been playing a lot of video games, probably
like your kids or grandkids have, especially with the new
(12:57):
college football video game is out. In fact, I bet
a lot of you listening to me right now have
been playing that college football game yourself, regardless of how
old you are. Also, then Fortnite, a lot of MLB
the show Major League Baseball fans here. The kids are
big Braves fans, and I've adopted the Braves as my
team as well. Turns out, unexpectedly a hole has shown
(13:20):
up in the wall near where the video games are played,
and my wife saw it first. Ask the boys. My
oldest boy has been away at camp, so he has
got a great alibi. He was not involved. Oldest son
is safe, she asked the thirteen and the nine year old.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Should be noted that like a lot of boys that age,
they are constantly wrestling and constantly throwing balls around games.
Sometimes a remote video game controller will get thrown in
anger over the game cheating. That's a direct quote the
game cheating and so she said, what, boys, how did
(14:03):
we end up with a hole in the wall? They said,
the cat did it four foot high on the wall.
So I came upstairs and I used to play judge
dad when they were really little and they would get
into arguments with each other. I would say, Okay, you're
going to stand in front of me. I'm the judge.
(14:24):
You make the case for what you believe your brother
did what he did wrong, and I will listen to
You can't talk while your brother talks. It's like a judge.
Make your case, and then your brother can make the case,
and I'll rule and find out who's telling the truth
and split the baby like King Solomon. And so I said,
hold on, you're telling me that one of the cats.
(14:46):
These are not, by the way, leopards. This is not
a Florida panther, this is not a We are not
keeping tigers or lions inside of the Travis household. These
are Bengal cats. And I'm not a fan of these
cats in the first So probably somebody's gonna clip this
and put me alongside of Jade Vance and the childless
cat ladies are going to be after me too, not
(15:06):
Travis Choyce was not mine. During COVID, my wife had
the boys, when they were out of school, give a
persuasive speech on why we needed cats, and I was
outvoted in my house four to one, so I am
not in favor of them having been there. I will say, however,
the cats putting a hole in the wall through and
I said, well, how do they do this? They said,
(15:29):
I guess dad, I guess dad. They just ran full
speed and rammed their head into the wall and broke
the wall. I said, this is you guys, understand, this
is like the worst argument that anybody has ever made.
I do respect the fact that they were willing to
(15:49):
not sell out each other in some way, that they
were aligned as brothers should be. The comments to this
are really funny. But I said, hey, you know, so
you guys, I'm going to put this on Twitter and
I'm going to let my Twitter audience vote on whether
they believe that you are telling the truth or not.
(16:11):
And my nine year old, you know, I said, here's
your story. Let me. I'm going to read it to you.
You confirm yes, this is your story and that this
is what you are saying. And I said, how do
you think this is going to go. Do you think
the followers of America Clay and Buck at Clay Travis
on Twitter, do you think they're going to believe you?
(16:32):
Do you think they're going to find your argument to
be persuasive? And they were convinced. They were like, this
is a great argument. They're definitely going to buy into
what we are trying to sell here. So I put
it on Twitter. Over thirty thousand of you have voted,
and eighty five percent said no, they're lying. Fifteen percent
(16:55):
of you said they're truthful. And I just wanted to
close with this. My nine year old, right as I
sent this, said, the world will believe me. The world
will believe me. The world does not believe me. But
I close with that story to tell you guys this.
Enjoy your families, have fantastic weekends with everybody, and hopefully
(17:16):
your cats don't put big holes in your wall right
by the video game systems either,
