Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Sunday Hang is brought to you by Chalk Natural
Supplements for guys, gals, and nothing in between. Fuel your
day at Chalk dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Bold reverence, and occasionally random. The Sunday Hang With Playing
podcast starts now.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Buck Sexton said that he could hit or maybe a
couple of days ago, that he could hit one hundred
mile an hour serve I one time.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Just to be clear, one time, that this is not
that I hit. This is a very important distinction, not
that I hit one hundred mile an hour serve regularly,
that I could do it one time.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
We now have some of the best tennis players in
the world, and.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Actually some of the greatest servers in terms of power
of all time.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I mean, I think Andy Roddick is probably the greatest server,
one of the top five greatest servers of all time
in tennis. He has weighed in on my middle aged
man reck not even college level tennis game.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Well, first, let's start with John Isner. Who is I
think didn't you tell us yesterday? John Isner? American tennis player.
I believe he went to the University of Georgia. I
know he's a big Georgia Bulldog fan, really good dude.
He hopped on Twitter and said, I'm calling that serve
around ninety five miles per hour. My bet is no. Now,
you might say, okay, John Isner, in addition to being
(01:18):
one of the greatest American tennis players of his generation,
he's got the second strongest serve. You said in like
the history of tennis.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
I believe that's correct.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
In terms of serve speed on the Pro Tour, there's
like other people, I don't count it when you're looking
at the records. It has to be someone did it
in a match, right.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Not like my longest drive competition where you just get
to show up, like you have to actually be a pro.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I mean as a pro when it counts the fastest
serve you've ever hit. I mean Roddick got over one forty,
and I mean look, and I'll tell you guys this, like,
I mean, getting over ninety is for sure for those
of you who don't know, like I already know. I
knew that before I took the bet. Getting over one
hundred is hard though. That's I'm like, look, this is
I can do it one time, I think, but over ninety,
(02:03):
no question. So those of you who are saying I
served sixty miles an hour. Your math is bad. But
like I said, I'm gonna I got the speed gun.
It arrived and we're gonna have some speed gun. I'm
trying to get to it this weekend, but I'll certainly
get to it sometime next week, so we'll have some
more video proof. And I won't wear all white. Some
people are like, that's just I was. It was literally
laundry day over here, and people were white when they
(02:24):
played tennis. I don't know why that's such a weird
thing for people, like people wear white. I don't know,
is that wired why if I went if I wear
if I wear all black in Miami, that would be
weird because I would melt more than I already did.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I will sometimes say when I see a friend wearing
the same color top and bottom, that hey, I guess
you're I mean, like, I will make fun to be fair,
Like if you came in if we went to I
bet Carrie would make fun of you if you were
doing anything other than playing tennis and you walked in
in the exact same top and bottom.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
So but that's the most traditional. I mean, wearing whites
to play tennis is not some weird thing. This is
just like a standard thing. There are a lot of
acquired and wire it. Yeah, so that's why people like,
why are you wearing all white? I was like, I
don't know, because it's my tennis gear that I happened
to have today. But I promise next time it won't
be all in white. People are very fussy.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
John Isner, awesome dude. Andy Roddick I worked with a
lot at Fox. Absolutely awesome guy. Just a genuinely really
really good dude, great sense of humor. Also happens to
be the best American tennis player of what the last
twenty years. Probably this is this is the this is
the tennis equivalent though of if if you know, years
(03:39):
ago Rush Limbaugh had weighed in on some guy who
had like started a podcast on the weekend, like his monologue.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Yeah, that's that's.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
To have Isner and Rotick like weighing in on my
serve is kind of like it would be like Rush
being like, hey, this is your first radio show, like
you got some you got some pipes, you know, you're working,
like encouraging.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
But Andy Roddick said one hundred miles per hour less certain. Uh.
But he did say the fact that he put on
full ankle braces just to serve is the real issue here?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
So oh no, but I was that's okay. Well, to
be clear, that wasn't That's not I was playing. That
was a lesson. So I was actually playing tennis. I
just stopped for a minute to do so to do
it serve. Well, I just think Andy is a very
funny guy. So he was he used to wear the
ankle braces.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Tell Andy he's lighting me up.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I have I have excuse me, mister Roddick, I have
cao Veri's feet, which means that I have.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
A Sorry, I had to knock off my getting worse.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
This is getting worse, which means.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
That I have mis This is like telling Michael Jordan
when he asked why you're wearing an arm sleeve that
you have, you know, hypertension in your elbow. What if
I what of my buddies used to say, I used
to play I used to play pick up basketball, and
his line, and I think it's an all time line.
He said, if you have any brace, you have to
(04:58):
be twice as good as the first player on the court.
And I just think that's such an amazing line. He's like,
if you show up for pickup basketball, and you got
like an elbow sleeve on, or you've got ankle braces,
or you have like a knee knee thing. He's like,
you better be twice as good as the worst player
on the court, because everybody's just gonna be looking at
(05:18):
you like.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I just was very funny. You have to tell mister Roddick, okay,
who is who is a tennis serve and tennis god
in general, But you have to tell him that I
was playing tennis. I just stopped to take a serve.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
I wasn't. I was.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
It was in the middle of a of like a
you know, hitting session or whatever. It wasn't just I
didn't just put them on just serve. Okay, that's not fair,
all right, Wedy I am. I'm translucent on that video.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Not the two best uh tennis players we basically of
their generation have now weighed in. Also, Laura Travis out
on the Road, who has initially made the one hundred
mile an hour serve bet, has said, I haven't heard this,
she said in a talkback to producer Ali And so
get ready, this is zz from Lara, my wife Buck.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
It's Lara. The speed gun has to read a hundred
or higher. Your bet was that you could crush the
ball on a serve one hundred or higher. Ninety eight
is not one hundred. The bet isn't that you can
get it close to one hundred, it's that you can
hit it one hundred.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
You also said that the speed gun has an air
rate of a plus or minus three miles per hour,
So if you hit it ninety eight, that means it
actually could have only been ninety five. If you hit
it one hundred, the speed gun reads a hundred, we're
going to give it to you, but it has to
read a hundred or higher without you faulting through your
feet or on the other side of the net in
the serve box. And also, even though I'm a doubter,
(06:46):
I know I'm actually rooting for you because so many
people are rooting against you and doubting you that if
you hit this serve one hundred or higher, you're going
to be like the Rocky of amateur tennis serves. And
I think if you make it happen, you should have
a goal metal celebration on air, play the Rocky music
and just live it up turn off.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I appreciate into believers.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I appreciate that I am the rudy. I am the
rudy rudiger of rec tennis, serving by the people are
who are awesome.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
I'm getting those people in me.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Like I played D one tennis and I could serve
one hundred and five or one hundred and ten, and
I'm like, yeah, because you played D one tennis. I'm
just a guy who likes to play tennis on the weekends.
I don't even play tennis in college.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Guy who feels compelled to tell you that he's amazing
at something that he should be really good at is
always like and I'm skeptical because I don't see, uh,
you know, like the greatest hedge fund manager of all
time doesn't hop in Warren Buffett's mentions and be like, well,
in two thousand and eight, I had a forty two
percent return, right, Like I do. Think it's very funny
(07:50):
that people who are elite at something decide that they
need to let you know that they're elite at something.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Well, this is why I like these guys.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
They don't have a sense of humor about it, like
they routinely serve And if you want to know this
is all true, you can check this at that level.
The pros, their first serves are one hundred and twenty
plus usually one hundred and twenty five plus is an average,
and they can get up into the one thirties pretty
pretty easily, right, And that's every single serve, every single.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Switch spin too.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
It's not even just like a straight like they're like
annihilating the ball. Your humble radio server and is saying,
with like fifty balls, and I'm gonna try with fifty balls?
Can I get over one hundred one time?
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Okay? Which is not easy? I mean, like if you're
not a college player, that's actually like a college level player.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
That's not easy to do. People who don't play tennis
probably think they can do it. Zero chance zero, that's
one hundred percent true. I also think I'm wondering. You know,
so I trained for the NFL Combine to write a
book about the NFL Combine. You did, oh yeah, so,
and so you can self assess.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
But you can't run more than like two forties without
your speed going down. That's why they do it at
the NFL Combine twice because most people you can't. It's
not like you're gonna get better on your third I
don't know the answer on this. I don't know how
many times you could serve in a row where you
start to just go down because your body's getting physically
tired right your shoulders.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Like because I'm in I mean, this is more than
anyone ever thought they hear about tennis on the show.
But for for for fun, everybody, this is now we
have like the biggest names in the tennis world weighing
in on the Claron Buck Show tennis feud. But yeah,
I'm somebody who's gonna rely much more on muscle than technique.
I mean this also might surprise some of the people,
but like the women on the Pro Tour, I can
(09:42):
lift a lot more weight than they can. They just
have one hundred times better technique and weight transfer and
elasticity in their you know, in their movement than I do.
So that's why they can routinely do it one hundred
So it's not it's a little bit like golf.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
If you watch happ gilmore you think, oh, like I
can just hit a slap shot like I've hit golf
balls a couple times. I'm absolutely horrible, so I know
I can't do that at all. You can swing as
hard as you want, Like you can get somebody who
can bench press five hundred pounds can't hit.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
A golf ball.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
It's a it's a skill thing, not a muscle thing.
And so this is why I really have to work
on the technique more than anything else to actually get
it to the level because you'll see tech there are
literal women who are five There are women who are
Laris size on the pro tour who can hit a
you know, one hundred and ten mile an hour, serve
like pretty regularly, and they have like tiny little arms,
(10:35):
and they weigh one hundred and ten pounds.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
But they have perfect body mechanics, perfect technolo. By the way,
we're going to head up to Alaska at the bottom
of this hour. I'm sure the talkbacks are going to
be extraordinary on this. We'll play some of those as
we continue. And the NFL is back. So I saw
our boy Ryan Gurdusky mocking you on Twitter. You get
even taking some bodybul blows here because Taylor Swift and
(10:57):
Travis Kelcey we're talking and and and Ryan Gardusky said,
this is like listening to Buck talk about sports with Clay,
putting you in the Taylor Swift role. There, and I
actually I thought that this is only this is only
fair in college football, which I had never seen or
watched until I was partner partnered here with Clay.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
I know the other sports ball very well. Okay, I
know the sports.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Ball Sunday hang with Clay and Buck Clay.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
We've got some people who want to point out that
they clearly listen to you a lot because they know
which words you like. This is podcast listener Rob in acron.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Gg an observation on the show.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
No one says the word universe more than Clay Travis,
not Neil.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
De grasse Tyson, not Carl Sagan, not both of those
guys combined.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Clay.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Let's grab a phissaurus. Mix it up a little bit, right, buddy, What.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Is another galaxy? I mean, if for universe, what other
word would there be?
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Virgo, supercluster?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
I mean galaxy, I guess I could say, but then
it sounds like I'm talking about Star Wars. I think
Nilda grass Tyson and I would go head to head.
I don't know that that one's true. The guy who
called in.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Earlier, if Nilda grass Tyson not sure that men are
tend to be stronger than women, he's a scientist who's
not sure about biology.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
That's right. That was not a proud moment for Nilda
grass Tyson on behalf of scientist. This other talkback. This
is what I If you missed it, my wife called
in to make sure that Buck needed to know that
the hundred miles an hour meant.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
A hundred is good.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
A hundred is good. We've said that was the original bet.
Just to be very it's one hundred. It's not one
hundred and one or one hundred two. It's one hundred.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
And she said ninety eight doesn't count. And Nick from Minneapolis, can.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
We just take a moment here, ninety eight even though
the speed guns aren't perfect, doesn't count.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
I mean she is a stickler, She is not messing around.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Welcome to my life. You don't want to be the
Travis boys.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Can we can we assign her?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Can we get her to like work with Judge Janine
to clean up DC because like the laws the law.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Yeah, she would not be a lenient judge from Minneapolis.
What you got for us?
Speaker 7 (13:05):
This is why we listen to you and we love
you guys, because this miss Travis.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
She is bringing truth to power.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Man, We love.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
This this is this is good radio. I'm glad we're
putting positics aside for a minute.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
This is this is good levity.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
This is the real, the real deal, good stuff we
want here.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Thank you for Nick. Look, I will say this, some
people boxers, for instance, you know how they have entourages
and they're all hype men. You know, they kind of
walk around like you're the greatest, You're the best ever.
I have what is the opposite of a hype man.
Laura is the opposite of a hype man for me.
She is like, you know, the anniversary, come on, today
(13:46):
is our twenty fifth first anniversary. But I'm just saying, like,
there's the there's the hype guy.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Like she keeps out of a jeep and abiding love
for the totality of clay.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
And some would say that I do need grounding, because
I don't think that I lacked for confidence in general,
one might suggest. But I do love that we got
John Isner and Andy Roddick now weighing in on your
tennis service.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I believe we will also have Riley Opelka, who is
seven feet tall and routinely serves like one hundred and
forty miles an hour, will have his take on this tomorrow.
I have an intermediary who says that he's seeing the video.
So this is this is this is out there for sure,
this is out there vip, Wayne writes Clay of Bucks
over on both you buy the most expensive steak. If
(14:33):
he's under he buys, have prize picks, keep the tally,
no money involved, just sign up. I like the prize picks,
you know, throw in there. Very nice.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Yeah, I love the idea of getting prize picks involved here.
Actually this is my wife's bead. I didn't even jump in.
I was more of you were like, maybe you can.
Lara was like, there's absolutely no chance. So that that
got me fired up.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
I knew. I mean, this is the thing. I mean,
I know for I've been clocked at ninety, but I
know that I can do in the nineties. One hundred though. Okay,
I mean, this is this is the mountain that I
have to climb. This is what I've signed up for.
So we'll see.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
And you know, for for anyone who is wondering, go
out there and serve a tennis serve a tennis ball
on a court just for fun and put it on video.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
You can put it into.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Grock and it'll give you within like five or ten
miles an hour, a pretty good estimate.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
That's really cool. AI. I saw people suggesting to you
to use the AI, so you did that, and now
you've got a radar gun, and uh, we're gonna find
out and tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
And I never thought I would own a radar gun.
I'm gonna be honest with you. This is like a
new thing for me.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
So you can sit in your in your house too,
and just look and see if people are driving too
quickly from your.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Window Sundays with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I think I'm gonna be watching the movie Rudy this
weekend to get me in the mindset because now with
my speed gun. Okay, there's video proof online you can
see we're hitting ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven mile
an hour. Serves no problem those of you, by the way,
who were doubters thinking it was in the sixties. Okay,
it's one thing Laura knows, and she's a stickler. She
(16:11):
knows one hundred mile an hour mark for a recreational
tennis player is a very few reck players, not college
players can do it, and obviously pros do it. You know,
plus thirty miles an hour, but very few w reck
players tend to get up over one hundred, so that's
a real marker some of them, Clay. Some of the
comments though, online were very hurtful, where they're like, I
bet you can't even get over fifty. Well, if by
(16:33):
fifty you mean ninety seven. Now proven with speed gun,
we are there, my friends. But now the bet does
not have a does not have a terminus, at least
not in any immediate sense. So I'm going to be
limbering up this shoulder this weekend, Clay, I'm going to
be trying to get a full three extra mph on
my serve, and then there will be a victory dance
(16:56):
celebration party the likes of which Clay and Buck has
perhaps never seen before. I might it might even it
might even be some shirtless celebration. I don't care what
it looks like. Twelve of you on the tennis court.
Things could get wild out there.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Who is actually operating the radar gun?
Speaker 5 (17:10):
That was Carrie.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
I thought I was gonna give her because you can
only see the hand, But I was thinking it might
be Carrie. But I didn't know if you just had
some random guy at the at.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
The tennis I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell you
the truth about this too. The radar gun is very true.
It gets like one out of five serves. It's actually
quite annoying, so you rarely get readings because it has
to be precisely like in line with the ball.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
So there might have been some swearing.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
But I didn't take those videos and put them up
because you know, Family Show, but hundreds.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Coming Sunday drop with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
I am amazed.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
On the one hand, Clay, I will say this, We
joke around about the pronunciation police coming for us, usually
Clay but me too sometimes. But like they like to
pick on Clay. You know what, the pronunciation police like
to set up duy checkpoints with Clay in mind. I
think that's where we really are.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
You know this is true.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Yeah, you know they're like, I don't know, Clay.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I think I'm gonna have to put you through the
uh follow my finger and let's watch you, uh, you know,
toe to toe walk.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Down the sidewalk. Here.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
That's the pronunciation police. Very rough on Clay, very rough.
Some people are saying and and yesterday they they also
we have now word choice police, which I that's a
new thing. Not really heard word choice police before. And
this is from yesterday. This is UH podcast listener Steven,
because we you know the thing about being on podcast here, guys,
(18:33):
is I on radio. But but this is all recorded
so we can check, we can run the numbers, we
do the data. It's like we're in.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
The sports box with the football playing stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Going on, and we have analytics, analytics to analyze all
of the things that are potentially alleged.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
And here is yesterday.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
This is the allegation made by mister podcast listener Stephen
play aa Clay.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
This is Stephen in Orange in California.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
Hey man, I'm just trying to help you out, but
if you really want to stop being an unk, you
need to quit trying to channel Patsy Stone. You say, fabulous,
way too much, pal, Thanks for all you guys do.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
But Clay gets yourself in order.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
You know, he's a He's clearly he's clearly a patriotic
American who loves this show and therefore has excellent taste.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
He's calling you on this one.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
So to be fair, you could say we got the
speed gun out on this one too.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
We decided we want to see what are we really
deal what are we really working with?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Here? You know what is what is Claymation cooking with
on this one and and here it is with our
team pulled the every time Clay has said fabulous in
the month of all are we ready for this?
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Clay, I haven't even heard it.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
I haven't heard it, But yes, I this is the
research team that went back and looked, and here are
the results taking you into what we hope is going
to be a fabulous weekend. We'll play a ton of
your talkbacks. We got some fabulous ones when we come back.
Appreciate all of you and the fabulous interactions. I think
it's a fabulous way to interact. And I'm told pre
(20:11):
orders are fabulous through the top of the Peninsula, Okay, fabulous.
Where Buck is in the Highlands. I think that's a
broad area, but that is where he is and he
says everybody is fabulous to him. I like Colorado, it's
a fabulous state. Joe Kinzie, who does fabulous work. There,
a fabulous undisputed champion, Lenora Sellers, fabulous quarterback for South Carolina.
(20:32):
He was a fabulous that he had made everything up
fabulous coverage. I love la it is a fabulous city.
The Clay and Tuck podcast feed, which has a collection
of fabulous members. I just think it's fabulous. Yeah' fabulous.
I love all of you have fabulous weekends, mate. And then,
by the way, you use the word fabulous once. I
(20:54):
think we have that audio. Maybe we don't. Maybe we
don't even have Okay, So I'm here.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Instinct, honor and pleasure of getting to a segment with
you on Will Kine Show a couple of days ago,
and you were fabulous, by the way, all right, So
that's what we're on an eighteen to one ratio right now.
Clay said fabulous eighteen times in the month of August.
I said it once, So we know, maybe fabulous of
these two.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Maybe I'm gay. Maybe the caller was right. Maybe I'm
gay and I didn't know it. Because that's the implication
on using the word fabulous, I will say I've asked
the team to do word clouds to figure out what
words we might say, because I think you can plug
this into AI now and determine. I would say that
my usage there is almost always complementary of other people.
(21:44):
In other words, this is just demonstrative of how kind
I am, consider it thoughtful. I had them also run
fabulous versus boobs to try to give myself some heterosexuality.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
I didn't know about this.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
This is I haven't I haven't heard my results yet.
I haven't heard the results yet. I don't know if
they're in yet. But I would just say that I
probably am just incredibly happy, generous, kind and giving great
compliments here. So we did do a deep dive. Also
to your point, Buck, everybody remembers everything, and I know
(22:21):
people out there. We have five hundred and fifty five
I believe it is stations, and if you had cameras
on us, we do liners all the time. And a
liner is something where we say, hey, welcome Missoula, Montana.
We're excited to have you on this station, whatever it is.
And a lot of times we don't know, necessarily as
(22:41):
they're five hundred and fifty five of them, how the
station call letters are pronounced. Sometimes me in particular, I
don't know how the city's pronounced. So I got to
get help, and this is all. We got a VIP email.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
But this is all.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
And again I'm not the kind of person to throw
you just heard how fabulous. I am at giving credit,
not the kind of person to cast dispersions or blame.
This email is one hundred percent Alley's fault, because she
is the reason why I screwed this up. But wow,
Willis writes in and says, Clay, you might be gay you.
(23:15):
About a year ago, Clay did a promo for kfab
in Oklahoma and Omaha. He pronounced it as KFAB like
it was a bubblegum station playing Taylor Swift songs short.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
For fabulous, K fabulous.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yeah, Clay re recorded the promo pronounced it as KFAB
a news station. Clay, you might be gay? Best w
Now here's the deal. Far be it for me to
tell the people of Omaha how they should sell their
radio station. K fab is way easier to say, And
it also connotes that the station, which I'm sure is true,
(23:54):
is fabulous. That's how I would have done it.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
If nineteen AFA is a is a great heritage radio
station of tremendous history reach, and I met all these
all these fabulous people in Omaha, and I'm just saying
I'm gonna do it even more now. I'm just saying
that if I had been alive in Nebraska in nineteen fourteen,
(24:21):
when this radio station was founded, they would be known
as KFAB and it would be because the station is
fabulous and everybody because you is fabulous. So this is
this is really where you're you're tying it all together.
You just stuck the landing on this one.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
I was actually and I think the station, as I'm
sure it is fabulously successful already, would actually be even
more fabulously successful if it were branded as KFAB. So
that is, but I do want to see the word cloud.
My bet is this is fun for us. If they do,
you word cloud versus me word cloud? Who do you
(24:57):
think's word choice would look happier? I think I would
be the happier word cloud, Oh for sure. Fair yeah
yeah yeah, grumpier, grumpier, more dourh In general, I think
there would be more hype. And I want to confess
to everybody that this has got me a little rattled.
You know what I've been doing recently, and I'm not
(25:17):
proud of myself. I've been using exclamation points and I
hate exclamation points, but it feels like everyone uses exclamation
points and I.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Get pressured into it because it's like a dinner thanks
for having us over. Dinner was great, no exclamation point.
It's like dinner was Oh he did he's lying, Yeah,
he didn't like it.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I was just at a dinner last night and I
had to respond with exclamation two exclamation points.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Absolutely great night. Dinner was fantastic.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
I feel like we have seen inflations on exclamation points,
and I have bought in, and I hate myself for it.
I think I've still never used an emoji, primarily because
I don't know how to do emode as an unk,
I don't know how to do that on my phone.
Do you do emojis?
Speaker 5 (26:04):
I you don't. I use I use emojis, Yeah, I
use them.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
That's because you were dating younger girls. See, you've got
all these habits that you had to follow because you're communicating.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Clay just throwing people under the bus here left and right,
producer Ali.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Me not complaining. If I had been single, and you know,
thirty two in New York dating twenty five year olds,
I would have done whatever I had to do to
make them think that I was hip. But I uh,
probably by not using the word hip.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
And the only time to think you're an unk, that's
for sure.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
That's for sure. But I will tell you and I
know this has happened and everybody else. I despise exclamation
points because to me, it makes me feel like I'm
telling you how you have to react to something that
I am telling you, because it's it's like I'm demanding
that you be excited when you read my commentary, but
(26:53):
all of you have gone so full exclamatory that, to
Buck's point, if you don't go exclamation it's like, hey
had an awesome time period, well then you're a jerk
and you didn't have an actual awesome time. So there
are many things that I think in communication have gotten
out of sorts. The use of the exclamation point. I
would also suggest everything needs a sarcasm font because the
(27:16):
other day, you remember this, when I said that Kamala
should definitely run in twenty eight and she was a
fabulous candidate. I thought everyone who read that tweet would
understand that I was being sarcastic. The number of people
fighting in the mentions about whether this was my true opinion.
These all these blue blue check mark Kamala fans were
(27:36):
sharing it like see even even Clay Travis Recondelly, And
there were layers of sarcasm, and eventually I couldn't even
tell what was true or false anymore. So I would
like to remove exclamation points from the conversation. And I
would also like to add a sarcasm font. And one
final thought, I want to do away with apostrophes. While
(27:59):
I'm solving the English language right now, I feel like
apostrophes have gotten too complicated, and there are lots of
words that I don't even know whether the apostrophe s
is right or wrong or anything else. And so I
think that they are unnecessary and excessively used and too complicated,
and I think we basically don't need any of them.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
So events we're going way off the beaten path here
because we can't update you on the Putin rush of
the Putin Trump conversation because it hasn't started yet. They're
both in Alaska. It's the biggest news item of the
day by far. So we're doing a little, uh, you know,
a little little dance about here.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
I need to know something. Can we just get a
can we get a ruling?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
You think that hyphenate like hyphenated words, You go with
the hyphen you go without the hyphen I don't want
anyone correcting me, but with a hyphenated word because or
like a compound word with the hyphen in it. You know,
sometimes yes, sometimes no. I think it should be user's
choice on this one. I don't think it should be.
There's a you know, we we shouldn't be policing this.
(28:57):
If you will, it shouldn't shouldn't be policing the hyphens.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Are you ready for my most controversial take of the day.
You shouldn't ever have a last name with a hyphen
in it. There's very few things where if I win,
I've been married for twenty one years yesterday, if Laura,
on our first date had said, Hey, our kids are
gonna have to have a dash, it's gonna be my
(29:20):
name and your name, God forbid, she suggested that we
take her last name, I would be out. Have you
seen this trend lately, Buck, where bride and groom choose
the last name and are sometimes taking the girl's last name.
I mean, I've heard of this.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I just I just would hope that the groom is
okay with his bride's.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
Boyfriend picking the name too. So not good.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I am.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
I am very anti hyphenated last names. And if you
ever have a guy who is willing to give up
his last name and take the girl's last name. I
think that the the marriage is doomed to failure from
the moment at story.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I think everyone knows that guy's asking his wife to
open his ketchup bottles for him.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Well, that's probably true. That's probably also a metaphor for
other things that he's asking. So it's a bad sign.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
If you have to ask your wife to open a
ketchup bottle and your arm's not broken, or both your
arms are broken, that's the only time I could see
that being the exception.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
But yeah, the height wives, it's funny.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Actually we are the same height, I mean within an inch,
and our wives are the same height. I think within
an inch inch and a half. I mean they're basically
so you and I are the same height and our
wives are the same height. Does your wife ever hug
you and and and show surprise that you and her
are not the same height? Carrie sometimes is like, I
always think of us as being almost the same height.
(30:46):
I have to be like, no, honey, no, Well is
that partly because the heel thing? Women are very good
at disguising what actual height they are. They don't know
what height they are because they wear four inch heels
five inch. I mean, it's crazy to me how much
different they can. Lara sometimes walks in a room and
I'm like, you're a different human. You know, you put
on the heels suddenly. But we've married twenty one years,
so that hasn't happened.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
By the way.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Some breaking news, gambling markets surging. Remember I told you
it was like a two percent chance that Russia Ukraine
we're going to enter into a ceasefire. Money is now
pouring in forty percent chance of a ceasefire by the
end of today. That's pretty significant movement In terms of
where the gambling markets gambled on any where?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Is this like, where could you gamb poly market? Poly
market Klshi. I think these prediction markets are extraordinary. I've
talked about them some on the show. Not for you
necessarily to have to place wagers, but when you put
real money down, so many polls or bs real money down,
(31:50):
I think changes the reliability in a substantial way of
predictive markets. And there's tons of them now that are legal.

Pam from Alaska, where the big talks are going on.
Look out, Buck, she just brought it two by four kk.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
Hey Buck, I'd been listening to you for years, dating
back to the Blaze. If we're being honest, there was
a time you were pretty keen on Taylor Swift. Oh,
very highly of her and just simply lamented her politics.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
Wow, woa comes out?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Whoa clause it Swifty? Thank you, Pam, Thank you for
holding them account.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
I think I think I might have thought, as a
young man in my thirties, I might.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
Have referred to her as I thought she was attractive.
I don't think I was a fan of the music
per se. But I have to go back.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
It is football season and Buck is bailing. The backpedal
happening in her Hurry here, I gotta drop back in
punt on that one. I got cornered.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Bold reverence, and occasionally random. The Sunday Hang With Playing
podcast starts now.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Buck Sexton said that he could hit or maybe a
couple of days ago, that he could hit one hundred
mile an hour serve I one time.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Just to be clear, one time, that this is not
that I hit. This is a very important distinction, not
that I hit one hundred mile an hour serve regularly,
that I could do it one time.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
We now have some of the best tennis players in
the world, and.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Actually some of the greatest servers in terms of power
of all time.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I mean, I think Andy Roddick is probably the greatest server,
one of the top five greatest servers of all time
in tennis. He has weighed in on my middle aged
man reck not even college level tennis game.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Well, first, let's start with John Isner. Who is I
think didn't you tell us yesterday? John Isner? American tennis player.
I believe he went to the University of Georgia. I
know he's a big Georgia Bulldog fan, really good dude.
He hopped on Twitter and said, I'm calling that serve
around ninety five miles per hour. My bet is no. Now,
you might say, okay, John Isner, in addition to being
(01:18):
one of the greatest American tennis players of his generation,
he's got the second strongest serve. You said in like
the history of tennis.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
I believe that's correct.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
In terms of serve speed on the Pro Tour, there's
like other people, I don't count it when you're looking
at the records. It has to be someone did it
in a match, right.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Not like my longest drive competition where you just get
to show up, like you have to actually be a pro.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I mean as a pro when it counts the fastest
serve you've ever hit. I mean Roddick got over one forty,
and I mean look, and I'll tell you guys this, like,
I mean, getting over ninety is for sure for those
of you who don't know, like I already know. I
knew that before I took the bet. Getting over one
hundred is hard though. That's I'm like, look, this is
I can do it one time, I think, but over ninety,
(02:03):
no question. So those of you who are saying I
served sixty miles an hour. Your math is bad. But
like I said, I'm gonna I got the speed gun.
It arrived and we're gonna have some speed gun. I'm
trying to get to it this weekend, but I'll certainly
get to it sometime next week, so we'll have some
more video proof. And I won't wear all white. Some
people are like, that's just I was. It was literally
laundry day over here, and people were white when they
(02:24):
played tennis. I don't know why that's such a weird
thing for people, like people wear white. I don't know,
is that wired why if I went if I wear
if I wear all black in Miami, that would be
weird because I would melt more than I already did.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I will sometimes say when I see a friend wearing
the same color top and bottom, that hey, I guess
you're I mean, like, I will make fun to be fair,
Like if you came in if we went to I
bet Carrie would make fun of you if you were
doing anything other than playing tennis and you walked in
in the exact same top and bottom.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
So but that's the most traditional. I mean, wearing whites
to play tennis is not some weird thing. This is
just like a standard thing. There are a lot of
acquired and wire it. Yeah, so that's why people like,
why are you wearing all white? I was like, I
don't know, because it's my tennis gear that I happened
to have today. But I promise next time it won't
be all in white. People are very fussy.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
John Isner, awesome dude. Andy Roddick I worked with a
lot at Fox. Absolutely awesome guy. Just a genuinely really
really good dude, great sense of humor. Also happens to
be the best American tennis player of what the last
twenty years. Probably this is this is the this is
the tennis equivalent though of if if you know, years
(03:39):
ago Rush Limbaugh had weighed in on some guy who
had like started a podcast on the weekend, like his monologue.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Yeah, that's that's.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
To have Isner and Rotick like weighing in on my
serve is kind of like it would be like Rush
being like, hey, this is your first radio show, like
you got some you got some pipes, you know, you're working,
like encouraging.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
But Andy Roddick said one hundred miles per hour less certain. Uh.
But he did say the fact that he put on
full ankle braces just to serve is the real issue here?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
So oh no, but I was that's okay. Well, to
be clear, that wasn't That's not I was playing. That
was a lesson. So I was actually playing tennis. I
just stopped for a minute to do so to do
it serve. Well, I just think Andy is a very
funny guy. So he was he used to wear the
ankle braces.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Tell Andy he's lighting me up.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I have I have excuse me, mister Roddick, I have
cao Veri's feet, which means that I have.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
A Sorry, I had to knock off my getting worse.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
This is getting worse, which means.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
That I have mis This is like telling Michael Jordan
when he asked why you're wearing an arm sleeve that
you have, you know, hypertension in your elbow. What if
I what of my buddies used to say, I used
to play I used to play pick up basketball, and
his line, and I think it's an all time line.
He said, if you have any brace, you have to
(04:58):
be twice as good as the first player on the court.
And I just think that's such an amazing line. He's like,
if you show up for pickup basketball, and you got
like an elbow sleeve on, or you've got ankle braces,
or you have like a knee knee thing. He's like,
you better be twice as good as the worst player
on the court, because everybody's just gonna be looking at
(05:18):
you like.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I just was very funny. You have to tell mister Roddick, okay,
who is who is a tennis serve and tennis god
in general, But you have to tell him that I
was playing tennis. I just stopped to take a serve.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
I wasn't. I was.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
It was in the middle of a of like a
you know, hitting session or whatever. It wasn't just I
didn't just put them on just serve. Okay, that's not fair,
all right, Wedy I am. I'm translucent on that video.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Not the two best uh tennis players we basically of
their generation have now weighed in. Also, Laura Travis out
on the Road, who has initially made the one hundred
mile an hour serve bet, has said, I haven't heard this,
she said in a talkback to producer Ali And so
get ready, this is zz from Lara, my wife Buck.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
It's Lara. The speed gun has to read a hundred
or higher. Your bet was that you could crush the
ball on a serve one hundred or higher. Ninety eight
is not one hundred. The bet isn't that you can
get it close to one hundred, it's that you can
hit it one hundred.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
You also said that the speed gun has an air
rate of a plus or minus three miles per hour,
So if you hit it ninety eight, that means it
actually could have only been ninety five. If you hit
it one hundred, the speed gun reads a hundred, we're
going to give it to you, but it has to
read a hundred or higher without you faulting through your
feet or on the other side of the net in
the serve box. And also, even though I'm a doubter,
(06:46):
I know I'm actually rooting for you because so many
people are rooting against you and doubting you that if
you hit this serve one hundred or higher, you're going
to be like the Rocky of amateur tennis serves. And
I think if you make it happen, you should have
a goal metal celebration on air, play the Rocky music
and just live it up turn off.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I appreciate into believers.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I appreciate that I am the rudy. I am the
rudy rudiger of rec tennis, serving by the people are
who are awesome.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
I'm getting those people in me.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Like I played D one tennis and I could serve
one hundred and five or one hundred and ten, and
I'm like, yeah, because you played D one tennis. I'm
just a guy who likes to play tennis on the weekends.
I don't even play tennis in college.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Guy who feels compelled to tell you that he's amazing
at something that he should be really good at is
always like and I'm skeptical because I don't see, uh,
you know, like the greatest hedge fund manager of all
time doesn't hop in Warren Buffett's mentions and be like, well,
in two thousand and eight, I had a forty two
percent return, right, Like I do. Think it's very funny
(07:50):
that people who are elite at something decide that they
need to let you know that they're elite at something.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Well, this is why I like these guys.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
They don't have a sense of humor about it, like
they routinely serve And if you want to know this
is all true, you can check this at that level.
The pros, their first serves are one hundred and twenty
plus usually one hundred and twenty five plus is an average,
and they can get up into the one thirties pretty
pretty easily, right, And that's every single serve, every single.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Switch spin too.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
It's not even just like a straight like they're like
annihilating the ball. Your humble radio server and is saying,
with like fifty balls, and I'm gonna try with fifty balls?
Can I get over one hundred one time?
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Okay? Which is not easy? I mean, like if you're
not a college player, that's actually like a college level player.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
That's not easy to do. People who don't play tennis
probably think they can do it. Zero chance zero, that's
one hundred percent true. I also think I'm wondering. You know,
so I trained for the NFL Combine to write a
book about the NFL Combine. You did, oh yeah, so,
and so you can self assess.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
But you can't run more than like two forties without
your speed going down. That's why they do it at
the NFL Combine twice because most people you can't. It's
not like you're gonna get better on your third I
don't know the answer on this. I don't know how
many times you could serve in a row where you
start to just go down because your body's getting physically
tired right your shoulders.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Like because I'm in I mean, this is more than
anyone ever thought they hear about tennis on the show.
But for for for fun, everybody, this is now we
have like the biggest names in the tennis world weighing
in on the Claron Buck Show tennis feud. But yeah,
I'm somebody who's gonna rely much more on muscle than technique.
I mean this also might surprise some of the people,
but like the women on the Pro Tour, I can
(09:42):
lift a lot more weight than they can. They just
have one hundred times better technique and weight transfer and
elasticity in their you know, in their movement than I do.
So that's why they can routinely do it one hundred
So it's not it's a little bit like golf.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
If you watch happ gilmore you think, oh, like I
can just hit a slap shot like I've hit golf
balls a couple times. I'm absolutely horrible, so I know
I can't do that at all. You can swing as
hard as you want, Like you can get somebody who
can bench press five hundred pounds can't hit.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
A golf ball.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
It's a it's a skill thing, not a muscle thing.
And so this is why I really have to work
on the technique more than anything else to actually get
it to the level because you'll see tech there are
literal women who are five There are women who are
Laris size on the pro tour who can hit a
you know, one hundred and ten mile an hour, serve
like pretty regularly, and they have like tiny little arms,
(10:35):
and they weigh one hundred and ten pounds.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
But they have perfect body mechanics, perfect technolo. By the way,
we're going to head up to Alaska at the bottom
of this hour. I'm sure the talkbacks are going to
be extraordinary on this. We'll play some of those as
we continue. And the NFL is back. So I saw
our boy Ryan Gurdusky mocking you on Twitter. You get
even taking some bodybul blows here because Taylor Swift and
(10:57):
Travis Kelcey we're talking and and and Ryan Gardusky said,
this is like listening to Buck talk about sports with Clay,
putting you in the Taylor Swift role. There, and I
actually I thought that this is only this is only
fair in college football, which I had never seen or
watched until I was partner partnered here with Clay.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
I know the other sports ball very well. Okay, I
know the sports.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Ball Sunday hang with Clay and Buck Clay.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
We've got some people who want to point out that
they clearly listen to you a lot because they know
which words you like. This is podcast listener Rob in acron.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Gg an observation on the show.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
No one says the word universe more than Clay Travis,
not Neil.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
De grasse Tyson, not Carl Sagan, not both of those
guys combined.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Clay.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Let's grab a phissaurus. Mix it up a little bit, right, buddy, What.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Is another galaxy? I mean, if for universe, what other
word would there be?
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Virgo, supercluster?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
I mean galaxy, I guess I could say, but then
it sounds like I'm talking about Star Wars. I think
Nilda grass Tyson and I would go head to head.
I don't know that that one's true. The guy who
called in.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Earlier, if Nilda grass Tyson not sure that men are
tend to be stronger than women, he's a scientist who's
not sure about biology.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
That's right. That was not a proud moment for Nilda
grass Tyson on behalf of scientist. This other talkback. This
is what I If you missed it, my wife called
in to make sure that Buck needed to know that
the hundred miles an hour meant.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
A hundred is good.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
A hundred is good. We've said that was the original bet.
Just to be very it's one hundred. It's not one
hundred and one or one hundred two. It's one hundred.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
And she said ninety eight doesn't count. And Nick from Minneapolis, can.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
We just take a moment here, ninety eight even though
the speed guns aren't perfect, doesn't count.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
I mean she is a stickler, She is not messing around.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Welcome to my life. You don't want to be the
Travis boys.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Can we can we assign her?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Can we get her to like work with Judge Janine
to clean up DC because like the laws the law.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Yeah, she would not be a lenient judge from Minneapolis.
What you got for us?
Speaker 7 (13:05):
This is why we listen to you and we love
you guys, because this miss Travis.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
She is bringing truth to power.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Man, We love.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
This this is this is good radio. I'm glad we're
putting positics aside for a minute.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
This is this is good levity.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
This is the real, the real deal, good stuff we
want here.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Thank you for Nick. Look, I will say this, some
people boxers, for instance, you know how they have entourages
and they're all hype men. You know, they kind of
walk around like you're the greatest, You're the best ever.
I have what is the opposite of a hype man.
Laura is the opposite of a hype man for me.
She is like, you know, the anniversary, come on, today
(13:46):
is our twenty fifth first anniversary. But I'm just saying, like,
there's the there's the hype guy.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Like she keeps out of a jeep and abiding love
for the totality of clay.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
And some would say that I do need grounding, because
I don't think that I lacked for confidence in general,
one might suggest. But I do love that we got
John Isner and Andy Roddick now weighing in on your
tennis service.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I believe we will also have Riley Opelka, who is
seven feet tall and routinely serves like one hundred and
forty miles an hour, will have his take on this tomorrow.
I have an intermediary who says that he's seeing the video.
So this is this is this is out there for sure,
this is out there vip, Wayne writes Clay of Bucks
over on both you buy the most expensive steak. If
(14:33):
he's under he buys, have prize picks, keep the tally,
no money involved, just sign up. I like the prize picks,
you know, throw in there. Very nice.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Yeah, I love the idea of getting prize picks involved here.
Actually this is my wife's bead. I didn't even jump in.
I was more of you were like, maybe you can.
Lara was like, there's absolutely no chance. So that that
got me fired up.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
I knew. I mean, this is the thing. I mean,
I know for I've been clocked at ninety, but I
know that I can do in the nineties. One hundred though. Okay,
I mean, this is this is the mountain that I
have to climb. This is what I've signed up for.
So we'll see.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
And you know, for for anyone who is wondering, go
out there and serve a tennis serve a tennis ball
on a court just for fun and put it on video.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
You can put it into.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Grock and it'll give you within like five or ten
miles an hour, a pretty good estimate.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
That's really cool. AI. I saw people suggesting to you
to use the AI, so you did that, and now
you've got a radar gun, and uh, we're gonna find
out and tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
And I never thought I would own a radar gun.
I'm gonna be honest with you. This is like a
new thing for me.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
So you can sit in your in your house too,
and just look and see if people are driving too
quickly from your.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Window Sundays with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I think I'm gonna be watching the movie Rudy this
weekend to get me in the mindset because now with
my speed gun. Okay, there's video proof online you can
see we're hitting ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven mile
an hour. Serves no problem those of you, by the way,
who were doubters thinking it was in the sixties. Okay,
it's one thing Laura knows, and she's a stickler. She
(16:11):
knows one hundred mile an hour mark for a recreational
tennis player is a very few reck players, not college
players can do it, and obviously pros do it. You know,
plus thirty miles an hour, but very few w reck
players tend to get up over one hundred, so that's
a real marker some of them, Clay. Some of the
comments though, online were very hurtful, where they're like, I
bet you can't even get over fifty. Well, if by
(16:33):
fifty you mean ninety seven. Now proven with speed gun,
we are there, my friends. But now the bet does
not have a does not have a terminus, at least
not in any immediate sense. So I'm going to be
limbering up this shoulder this weekend, Clay, I'm going to
be trying to get a full three extra mph on
my serve, and then there will be a victory dance
(16:56):
celebration party the likes of which Clay and Buck has
perhaps never seen before. I might it might even it
might even be some shirtless celebration. I don't care what
it looks like. Twelve of you on the tennis court.
Things could get wild out there.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Who is actually operating the radar gun?
Speaker 5 (17:10):
That was Carrie.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
I thought I was gonna give her because you can
only see the hand, But I was thinking it might
be Carrie. But I didn't know if you just had
some random guy at the at.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
The tennis I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell you
the truth about this too. The radar gun is very true.
It gets like one out of five serves. It's actually
quite annoying, so you rarely get readings because it has
to be precisely like in line with the ball.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
So there might have been some swearing.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
But I didn't take those videos and put them up
because you know, Family Show, but hundreds.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Coming Sunday drop with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
I am amazed.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
On the one hand, Clay, I will say this, We
joke around about the pronunciation police coming for us, usually
Clay but me too sometimes. But like they like to
pick on Clay. You know what, the pronunciation police like
to set up duy checkpoints with Clay in mind. I
think that's where we really are.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
You know this is true.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Yeah, you know they're like, I don't know, Clay.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I think I'm gonna have to put you through the
uh follow my finger and let's watch you, uh, you know,
toe to toe walk.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
Down the sidewalk. Here.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
That's the pronunciation police. Very rough on Clay, very rough.
Some people are saying and and yesterday they they also
we have now word choice police, which I that's a
new thing. Not really heard word choice police before. And
this is from yesterday. This is UH podcast listener Steven,
because we you know the thing about being on podcast here, guys,
(18:33):
is I on radio. But but this is all recorded
so we can check, we can run the numbers, we
do the data. It's like we're in.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
The sports box with the football playing stuff.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Going on, and we have analytics, analytics to analyze all
of the things that are potentially alleged.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
And here is yesterday.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
This is the allegation made by mister podcast listener Stephen
play aa Clay.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
This is Stephen in Orange in California.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
Hey man, I'm just trying to help you out, but
if you really want to stop being an unk, you
need to quit trying to channel Patsy Stone. You say, fabulous,
way too much, pal, Thanks for all you guys do.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
But Clay gets yourself in order.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
You know, he's a He's clearly he's clearly a patriotic
American who loves this show and therefore has excellent taste.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
He's calling you on this one.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
So to be fair, you could say we got the
speed gun out on this one too.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
We decided we want to see what are we really
deal what are we really working with?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Here? You know what is what is Claymation cooking with
on this one and and here it is with our
team pulled the every time Clay has said fabulous in
the month of all are we ready for this?
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Clay, I haven't even heard it.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
I haven't heard it, But yes, I this is the
research team that went back and looked, and here are
the results taking you into what we hope is going
to be a fabulous weekend. We'll play a ton of
your talkbacks. We got some fabulous ones when we come back.
Appreciate all of you and the fabulous interactions. I think
it's a fabulous way to interact. And I'm told pre
(20:11):
orders are fabulous through the top of the Peninsula, Okay, fabulous.
Where Buck is in the Highlands. I think that's a
broad area, but that is where he is and he
says everybody is fabulous to him. I like Colorado, it's
a fabulous state. Joe Kinzie, who does fabulous work. There,
a fabulous undisputed champion, Lenora Sellers, fabulous quarterback for South Carolina.
(20:32):
He was a fabulous that he had made everything up
fabulous coverage. I love la it is a fabulous city.
The Clay and Tuck podcast feed, which has a collection
of fabulous members. I just think it's fabulous. Yeah' fabulous.
I love all of you have fabulous weekends, mate. And then,
by the way, you use the word fabulous once. I
(20:54):
think we have that audio. Maybe we don't. Maybe we
don't even have Okay, So I'm here.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Instinct, honor and pleasure of getting to a segment with
you on Will Kine Show a couple of days ago,
and you were fabulous, by the way, all right, So
that's what we're on an eighteen to one ratio right now.
Clay said fabulous eighteen times in the month of August.
I said it once, So we know, maybe fabulous of
these two.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Maybe I'm gay. Maybe the caller was right. Maybe I'm
gay and I didn't know it. Because that's the implication
on using the word fabulous, I will say I've asked
the team to do word clouds to figure out what
words we might say, because I think you can plug
this into AI now and determine. I would say that
my usage there is almost always complementary of other people.
(21:44):
In other words, this is just demonstrative of how kind
I am, consider it thoughtful. I had them also run
fabulous versus boobs to try to give myself some heterosexuality.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
I didn't know about this.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
This is I haven't I haven't heard my results yet.
I haven't heard the results yet. I don't know if
they're in yet. But I would just say that I
probably am just incredibly happy, generous, kind and giving great
compliments here. So we did do a deep dive. Also
to your point, Buck, everybody remembers everything, and I know
(22:21):
people out there. We have five hundred and fifty five
I believe it is stations, and if you had cameras
on us, we do liners all the time. And a
liner is something where we say, hey, welcome Missoula, Montana.
We're excited to have you on this station, whatever it is.
And a lot of times we don't know, necessarily as
(22:41):
they're five hundred and fifty five of them, how the
station call letters are pronounced. Sometimes me in particular, I
don't know how the city's pronounced. So I got to
get help, and this is all. We got a VIP email.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
But this is all.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
And again I'm not the kind of person to throw
you just heard how fabulous. I am at giving credit,
not the kind of person to cast dispersions or blame.
This email is one hundred percent Alley's fault, because she
is the reason why I screwed this up. But wow,
Willis writes in and says, Clay, you might be gay you.
(23:15):
About a year ago, Clay did a promo for kfab
in Oklahoma and Omaha. He pronounced it as KFAB like
it was a bubblegum station playing Taylor Swift songs short.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
For fabulous, K fabulous.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yeah, Clay re recorded the promo pronounced it as KFAB
a news station. Clay, you might be gay? Best w
Now here's the deal. Far be it for me to
tell the people of Omaha how they should sell their
radio station. K fab is way easier to say, And
it also connotes that the station, which I'm sure is true,
(23:54):
is fabulous. That's how I would have done it.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
If nineteen AFA is a is a great heritage radio
station of tremendous history reach, and I met all these
all these fabulous people in Omaha, and I'm just saying
I'm gonna do it even more now. I'm just saying
that if I had been alive in Nebraska in nineteen fourteen,
(24:21):
when this radio station was founded, they would be known
as KFAB and it would be because the station is
fabulous and everybody because you is fabulous. So this is
this is really where you're you're tying it all together.
You just stuck the landing on this one.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
I was actually and I think the station, as I'm
sure it is fabulously successful already, would actually be even
more fabulously successful if it were branded as KFAB. So
that is, but I do want to see the word cloud.
My bet is this is fun for us. If they do,
you word cloud versus me word cloud? Who do you
(24:57):
think's word choice would look happier? I think I would
be the happier word cloud, Oh for sure. Fair yeah
yeah yeah, grumpier, grumpier, more dourh In general, I think
there would be more hype. And I want to confess
to everybody that this has got me a little rattled.
You know what I've been doing recently, and I'm not
(25:17):
proud of myself. I've been using exclamation points and I
hate exclamation points, but it feels like everyone uses exclamation
points and I.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Get pressured into it because it's like a dinner thanks
for having us over. Dinner was great, no exclamation point.
It's like dinner was Oh he did he's lying, Yeah,
he didn't like it.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
I was just at a dinner last night and I
had to respond with exclamation two exclamation points.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Absolutely great night. Dinner was fantastic.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
I feel like we have seen inflations on exclamation points,
and I have bought in, and I hate myself for it.
I think I've still never used an emoji, primarily because
I don't know how to do emode as an unk,
I don't know how to do that on my phone.
Do you do emojis?
Speaker 5 (26:04):
I you don't. I use I use emojis, Yeah, I
use them.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
That's because you were dating younger girls. See, you've got
all these habits that you had to follow because you're communicating.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Clay just throwing people under the bus here left and right,
producer Ali.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Me not complaining. If I had been single, and you know,
thirty two in New York dating twenty five year olds,
I would have done whatever I had to do to
make them think that I was hip. But I uh,
probably by not using the word hip.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
And the only time to think you're an unk, that's
for sure.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
That's for sure. But I will tell you and I
know this has happened and everybody else. I despise exclamation
points because to me, it makes me feel like I'm
telling you how you have to react to something that
I am telling you, because it's it's like I'm demanding
that you be excited when you read my commentary, but
(26:53):
all of you have gone so full exclamatory that, to
Buck's point, if you don't go exclamation it's like, hey
had an awesome time period, well then you're a jerk
and you didn't have an actual awesome time. So there
are many things that I think in communication have gotten
out of sorts. The use of the exclamation point. I
would also suggest everything needs a sarcasm font because the
(27:16):
other day, you remember this, when I said that Kamala
should definitely run in twenty eight and she was a
fabulous candidate. I thought everyone who read that tweet would
understand that I was being sarcastic. The number of people
fighting in the mentions about whether this was my true opinion.
These all these blue blue check mark Kamala fans were
(27:36):
sharing it like see even even Clay Travis Recondelly, And
there were layers of sarcasm, and eventually I couldn't even
tell what was true or false anymore. So I would
like to remove exclamation points from the conversation. And I
would also like to add a sarcasm font. And one
final thought, I want to do away with apostrophes. While
(27:59):
I'm solving the English language right now, I feel like
apostrophes have gotten too complicated, and there are lots of
words that I don't even know whether the apostrophe s
is right or wrong or anything else. And so I
think that they are unnecessary and excessively used and too complicated,
and I think we basically don't need any of them.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
So events we're going way off the beaten path here
because we can't update you on the Putin rush of
the Putin Trump conversation because it hasn't started yet. They're
both in Alaska. It's the biggest news item of the
day by far. So we're doing a little, uh, you know,
a little little dance about here.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
I need to know something. Can we just get a
can we get a ruling?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
You think that hyphenate like hyphenated words, You go with
the hyphen you go without the hyphen I don't want
anyone correcting me, but with a hyphenated word because or
like a compound word with the hyphen in it. You know,
sometimes yes, sometimes no. I think it should be user's
choice on this one. I don't think it should be.
There's a you know, we we shouldn't be policing this.
(28:57):
If you will, it shouldn't shouldn't be policing the hyphens.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Are you ready for my most controversial take of the day.
You shouldn't ever have a last name with a hyphen
in it. There's very few things where if I win,
I've been married for twenty one years yesterday, if Laura,
on our first date had said, Hey, our kids are
gonna have to have a dash, it's gonna be my
(29:20):
name and your name, God forbid, she suggested that we
take her last name, I would be out. Have you
seen this trend lately, Buck, where bride and groom choose
the last name and are sometimes taking the girl's last name.
I mean, I've heard of this.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I just I just would hope that the groom is
okay with his bride's.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
Boyfriend picking the name too. So not good.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I am.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
I am very anti hyphenated last names. And if you
ever have a guy who is willing to give up
his last name and take the girl's last name. I
think that the the marriage is doomed to failure from
the moment at story.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
I think everyone knows that guy's asking his wife to
open his ketchup bottles for him.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Well, that's probably true. That's probably also a metaphor for
other things that he's asking. So it's a bad sign.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
If you have to ask your wife to open a
ketchup bottle and your arm's not broken, or both your
arms are broken, that's the only time I could see
that being the exception.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
But yeah, the height wives, it's funny.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Actually we are the same height, I mean within an inch,
and our wives are the same height. I think within
an inch inch and a half. I mean they're basically
so you and I are the same height and our
wives are the same height. Does your wife ever hug
you and and and show surprise that you and her
are not the same height? Carrie sometimes is like, I
always think of us as being almost the same height.
(30:46):
I have to be like, no, honey, no, Well is
that partly because the heel thing? Women are very good
at disguising what actual height they are. They don't know
what height they are because they wear four inch heels
five inch. I mean, it's crazy to me how much
different they can. Lara sometimes walks in a room and
I'm like, you're a different human. You know, you put
on the heels suddenly. But we've married twenty one years,
so that hasn't happened.
Speaker 5 (31:07):
By the way.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Some breaking news, gambling markets surging. Remember I told you
it was like a two percent chance that Russia Ukraine
we're going to enter into a ceasefire. Money is now
pouring in forty percent chance of a ceasefire by the
end of today. That's pretty significant movement In terms of
where the gambling markets gambled on any where?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Is this like, where could you gamb poly market? Poly
market Klshi. I think these prediction markets are extraordinary. I've
talked about them some on the show. Not for you
necessarily to have to place wagers, but when you put
real money down, so many polls or bs real money down,
(31:50):
I think changes the reliability in a substantial way of
predictive markets. And there's tons of them now that are legal.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
Sunday Sizzle with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
Pam from Alaska, where the big talks are going on.
Look out, Buck, she just brought it two by four kk.
Speaker 4 (32:17):
Hey Buck, I'd been listening to you for years, dating
back to the Blaze. If we're being honest, there was
a time you were pretty keen on Taylor Swift. Oh,
very highly of her and just simply lamented her politics.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
Wow, woa comes out?
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Whoa clause it Swifty? Thank you, Pam, Thank you for
holding them account.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
I think I think I might have thought, as a
young man in my thirties, I might.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
Have referred to her as I thought she was attractive.
I don't think I was a fan of the music
per se. But I have to go back.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
It is football season and Buck is bailing. The backpedal
happening in her Hurry here, I gotta drop back in
punt on that one. I got cornered.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
That was tough.
