Bold reverence and occasionally random The Sunday Hang with Playing
Fuck podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
It starts now you know, it's a very exciting day.
It was, in fact true that I was challenged and
doubted by many in the tennis serve one hundred mile
per hour sweepstakes. Dowters and haters abound out there of
the world, but overcame the challenge, can you please play
(00:36):
my theme music? One hundred and three miles an hour?
One hundred and three miles an hour, My friends, this
trusty racket right here. It was a beautiful day on
the court. Some people are saying the most beautiful day.
There's video. There's a speed gun one hundred and three
mile an hour serve right up the tea, I might add,
(00:57):
definitely would have been an ace, beautiful, lovely, the most
beautiful serve. And I'm in the one hundred mile an
hour plus club officially at one oh three, top top number,
and Clay, I just want to say I appreciate the
encouragement via doubt. So there we go. We've got uh,
we've got the challenge accepted and challenge met. We'll put
(01:20):
the video up at clayanbuck dot com. It has posted
on x It has posted under my account on X
or on Facebook if you want to check it out.
And we also had some fun.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
With the meme.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
UH. We have my my team, my hype squad, if
you will, makes an appearance in the video, so I
think you'll enjoy that one.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
I have to give credit to your wife, Carrie. The
cinematography of this of the serve is pretty spectacular because
we see the serve, we see the one O three,
We then see that she is on the court with
your son in the UH, in the UH, in the
what the baby carriage I guess, which he has no
(01:58):
idea what a you just was witnessed to. But in
the years ahead, as that video continues to circulate, he's
going to have even more respect for his dad's natural,
raw athleticism powering one hundred and three mile an hour serve.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I gotta tell you, I just feel like I struck
a blow for all the middle aged guys with elastic
waistbands and New Balance sneakers out there. You know, people
doubt us guys, people think we can't relive our glory
days when we were eighteen twenty twenty five. No, my friends, no,
we can still do it. We can still climb that hill,
climb that mountain. So very very exciting stuff there. And
(02:36):
by the way, that's definitely a wife's job to show
up with you on the tennis court where I'm not
gonna pretend like that was my first serve. My friends,
you could see the joy in my face. I was
stuck ninety ninety four, ninety two, eighty seven. I mean,
over and over and over again. How long did that take?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
You also changed up the outfit because you were getting
criticized for the all white noticed you went with the blue.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah. People were harsh, you know, they're like, yeah, tennis
all white. I mean, that wasn't even sometimes I wear
white sometimes I don't. I mean, it's just basically like
whatever tennis outfit I have ready. But I'm just saying, guys,
you know, don't doubt the Buckster one hundred and three
miles an hour victory. It tastes so sweet.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
I haven't heard yet from Laura Travis, who was foremost
among the doubters, So I want to hear what she
has to say.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
It's a great day for America for a lot of reasons.
One of them is the success. You could say the
resurrection in a sense of Buck Island has occurred many calls,
many talkbacks about the one hundred miles per hour tennis challenge.
We got so many. Here, let's hear from our friend
Carol Markowitz. C C play that one, Hi, Clayan Buck.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
It's Carol Markowitz of the Carol Markowitz and Normally podcasts
on your network. I don't know anything about tennis. I
have never played the game. I don't know how fast
that ball goes. I don't need to know anything about it.
I know one thing, you do not bet against Buck Sexton.
I knew he'd get that ball over one hundred miles
an hour. I didn't need to know anything else other
(04:07):
than Buck Sexton was doing it. I bet on Buck
and I won, of course.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
You know what I mean. Clay, you know is a
brilliant lady with a huge podcast that's doing very well.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I love Carol's voice. She should be Carol Marko, which
should be the voice of one of these like Ways
apps or you know that. Just to make you feel calmer,
because you're rushed and stressed and everything else. That she
just sounds very calming, you know when she's talking.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Totally agree. You know, we also got I got some tips.
This is true true story online from John Isner, formerly
of the Pro Tour and the fastest tennis server of
all time. One of the greatest tennis servers of all time.
This is true and the fastest ever. I think it
was like one hundred and fifty ish miles an hour.
(04:58):
He also played in the longest match in in history.
That sounds right. He's sent in a little congratulations John Isner,
himself fastest server ever with the talkback play hh.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
All right, buck as arguably the greatest server of all
time and the record holder for the fastest serve of
all time. I gotta hand it to you, that was
a nice serve, a nice delivery, everything about it was
quite honestly perfect.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
That's that's like maybe the greatest praise that anybody's gotten
for anything on the show in four plus years.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I'm just telling you the greatest server of all time,
John isn't that's real, everybody. He's just saying, great serve,
mister Buckster. So you know, everybody, you just gotta. It's
just it's all in the It's all in the whip.
You know you gotta take it out. You gotta just
just let it rip. There Play Travis with the Clay
and Buck Show, wishing you and your family of very
(05:57):
mary Christmas and a happy New Year. Buck Sexton Here,
the entire Clay and Buck Show wish you and your
family a warm Christmas season and a joyful New Year.
Sunday Hay with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
In addition to Buck being an unbelievable star of the
Center Court, I just signed you guys are great, another
five hundred copies of Balls, my majestic work of literary
genius that is now available in bookstores everywhere, and if
(06:32):
you want an autograph copy. They sold out of all
the initial run. They were very very happy. They said,
will you please sign five hundred more? And I said yes,
and I just signed them in the studio. So if
you bought autograph copies of the book Claytravisballs dot Com,
I promise you will not go to prison if you
click on that link or put it in if you
(06:54):
want autograph copies for Christmas, they are done. Five hundred
more of them. They have got them. They are shipping
them out. I signed them all here on camera. Producer
Ali can a test. She can raise her right hand
and swear under oath. I did not autopenant Joe Biden's style.
I just signed them, completed them here in the studio.
(07:15):
They are going out, So five hundred more Claytravisballs dot com.
Once those are gone, they are gone. I sound like
a QBC host, but this is what Buck is going
to be doing in a couple of a couple of months.
Selling a book is Buck. It's a lot of a
lot of work. I mean, the amount of media that
(07:36):
I've done, in addition to all the stuff that we
already do is just buckle up come February. Because the
amount of time that I have spent telling people to
go buy this book. It's great and I appreciate it,
and I love all of you that have bought it,
but it is a It is a lot of work
in addition to everything else.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I just think that people also are so used to
everything short form now that it's really difficult for anyone
to not anyone. But it's hard and harder to get
people to say I'm going to spend twelve hours, eight
hours I about this a lot with your content. I'm
a big believer still despite all the videos and short
(08:19):
form and podcasts and everything. I'm a big believer in
book read it, yes, as a habit, as a thing
to do daily. If you can certainly weekly have a book.
I do kindles and hard you know, physical books. I
just think that it should be a part of everyone's life.
(08:40):
You should have things that you are reading that are
not news tweets, social media posts, whatever, it's any different
you're just sitting around watching videos mindlessly on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
There is a depth of learning that I think happens.
And I don't know if science supports this, but I'm
going to make an argument that I think I think
science should support if they haven't done this. There is
a depth of knowledge that comes from reading that does
not come from watching videos or certainly clicking on tweets.
(09:13):
And I was talking about this last night. I was
at the Patriot Awards. They were awesome. Erica Kirk got
an award, Milania Trump got an award that Fox News
puts on out in New York. But I was talking
with one of the top Fox News editors and we
were talking about how AI is impacting writing going forward
(09:33):
and what that's going to look like. And I just
think in an AI era the depth of knowledge, You're
going to have a lot of people with surface level
ability to analyze things. There's going to be no depth,
And I'm concerned about what the future of even written
articles pluck. Did you see the story from Axios? Over
(09:56):
fifty percent of articles on the Internet already are AI.
Where are the actual original thoughts? What are arguments going
to come from in an AI era? I'm legitimately concerned
about it. And also, if we thought disinformation misinformation spread
(10:17):
quickly before AI, can you imagine when there are going
to be entire AI universes created to spread awful things.
Have you seen the stuff about Robbie Starbuck. He's been
filing a bunch of lawsuits. Who probably should get him
on at some point to talk about this. But somewhere
in the Google world, somebody just decided they hated him
(10:38):
and they have been seeding these stories in AI that
say the most awful things about him. It's all untrue,
But how do you get that lie unraveled once it
takes root? I do think this is something that a
lot of people are not grappling with and certainly for
your kids. My kids, I spend so much time trying
(11:00):
to get them to read, and I think it's going
to become more and more challenging. So I hope that
you are going to end up with the ability to
read this book and not my book lots of other books.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
But you can also go to clayanbuck dot com. Two
for one my friends, short video of the most beautiful
one hundred and three mile an hour serve in Tennis
any of you will ever see?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Would I would argue uh?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
And you can click on Balls right below it and
get your copy of Balls. So clayanbuck dot com one
stop shop for all your good things to say. You
can do the short video thing and then the whole
book thing by Clay's Bookballs.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Thank you, Clay Travisballs dot Com. Autograph copy signed in
studio here for all the witnesses to see. No autopen
scandal coming on the books, Claytravisballs dot com. All right,
our friend Karine Jean Pierre speaking of book tour, she
did not write her book. She is not smart enough
to write her book. I would wager massive amounts of
money Buck, What would if you heard that Karine Jean
(11:59):
Pierre wrote her entire book, how Stunned beyond belief? Would
you be? Would you? I mean, what odds would you
have to get that career? I would zero? One zero.
I don't think she's capable zero, there's.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
No, it's not even it's not a bet I could make,
because it's just I know she didn't. It's zero.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
So she's on her book tour for the book that
she did not write, demonstrating every day why she is
too dumb to have written a book. She says, I
don't know if you saw this yet, buck that the
media isn't tough enough on Trump. They would have been
and were way tougher on Obama than I mean, there's
a double stand I mean, listen to this.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I can't believe this is real.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Cut twenty eight to your question about where we are
at the media. I think there's a Trump standard. You know,
there's a Trump standard that there's He's just covered differently,
and it is insane. I mean President Obama said it
perfectly recently. He said, can you imagine if I did that?
You imagine? And so there is a double standard there.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
She's right that there's a double standard, all right, so
in her credit, the problem is she's misapplying what the
double standard is.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
The media is too kind to Trump.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I just some of these people, I don't even understand
what world you could live in. Even people who hate
Trump look at this and say, Trump has been the
most attacked by media president in any of our lives.
And I don't even who with Nixon maybe the second
closest I wasn't alive, You weren't alive. Certainly Trump for
(13:37):
our lives is I don't even know who else would
even be in the stratosphere. And Nixon obviously was forced
out of office, but I mean, no one else is there.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I think you're bringing up Nixon know is important because
there has been for your your life, my life. This belief,
truly among the DC beltwagh media that Republican presidents better
watched themselves because they took one presidency down and they
could do it again if they if they have to,
(14:11):
if they want to. And I truly believe that that
was for most of the establishment journals in DC and
at New York Times, LA Times, across the country, at
these these kinds of places, they had this belief that
when the time comes or if a Republican steps out
a line. I don't mean does something terrible, just gets
(14:32):
a little too uppity. With the agenda and with the
mission that they're pursuing, they could end that presidency. And
I think they tried. I think that's what Russia collusion was, yes,
to end a presidency through nefarious, underhanded and dishonest means,
and failed. And then I think they tried again, with
(14:55):
the help of the prosecutions and the various legal lead
maneuvers they did rooting for this the whole time and
saying that Trump was an insurrectionist and all this stuff,
and they failed a second time. And now Clay, the
myth of invincibility for the media and their their power
(15:16):
to end a presidency is gone. I think that's right gone.
Sundays with Clay and Buss.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Michael in Utah.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
What you got is this wondering his question for Clay
since has got a book out called Balls, I was
wondering when he's gonna come out with the named boobs.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Thank you for the call. That might be too immature
for even me. Uh, although the fatter I get, I
could you know it could just be Clay's boobs because
unfortunately old man I I like, uh the female book.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Give me you're doing You're doing great. You're doing smoothies
every day. Clay has a smoothie for lunch. Sometimes I'm
sneaking shake shack like I gotta Clay. The Clay smoothie
regimen is is very have a bath.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
For lunch every day. We don't have a lot of
time to eat, and so if you watch the video
you'll see me. I mean, I can have a smoothie
without drawing a ton of attention or making a huge mess.
They tell me Buck that KK listener talk back KK
that I must listened to before.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
By the way, a mystery talkback. Let's see if the
audience can figure out who it is.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
These are crazy times we live in. I don't know
how it got to this point, but in the spirit
of Donald Trump, who brought peace to the Middle East,
he's bringing peace to Ukraine and Russia. Was it nine
piece deals? Now? I don't know how this whole insult
of Buck Sexton's serve came about, But Clay, I want
you to be the bigger man here and apologize. I
(16:39):
checked Bucks serving fundamentals his technique and we're talking rocket
Rod Laver stuff here. We're talking Gorin Ivanisovich or Michael Steek.
We're talking about a guy that is really extending.
Speaker 8 (16:54):
His toss is perfect. He crossed one hundred mile an
hour spectrum. I really think an apology is in order
for our tennis star Buck Sexton, and let's bring peace
back to the airwaves.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I'd just say that that's very clearly our fantastic lead
in on KTRH in Houston, mister Michael Barry, who when
he is doing his post show sometimes listens in and
knows what's going on, so he's waiting in. To be fair, Clay,
you were actually pretty neutral about the serve issue. You're
pretty neutral now, Lara.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Maybe you can do it.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Maybe you can now, Laura, Laura Travis, I would have
to put solidly in the hater contingent now he was there.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
She was a doubt, I would say doubter. She was
a doubter for sure.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
We are in the process of moving, which means that
she has not been listening to the show very often
in the last ten or twelve days.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
So I think if she had.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Been aware that you would hit one hundred mile an
hour serve, she would be zu Bruder film style analyzing
this to see whether or not she's going to submitted as.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
There's plenty of time for a talkback from Laura next
week if he just wants to say, you know, Buck,
who would know with all that poofy hair in that
giant head, your momentum on that serve was more than
people would have expected. So there you go.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
A lot of people are saying it was the haircut
that actually was the more aerodynamic.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
That's true, there was extra aerodynamics. Wait, we got a
good one for you, though. Where's the uh, where's the
one about? Is it? Uh? Hold on a second, All right, look,
l ll hit ll talkback.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Now that Buck has proved that he can hit a
ball over one hundred miles an hour, let's see if
Clay can prove that he can swim from Alcatraz to
the beach.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Keep up the good work again. But I think we
gotta we gotta do this. But also we got to
raise some money or something. And again my concern is
not the swim, it's the sharks. Uh. I don't want
to get killed.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
There's too many people who would exult uh and uh,
I don't want to make.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Maybe to make it more interesting. We dangle some good
ranchers steaks off like a little string.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
You don't have to be unhappy about me still being
alive for as long as I can make that a reality.
Clay Travis with the Clay and Buck Show, wishing you
and your family a very merry Christmas and a happy
New Year.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Sunday Sizzle with Clay and Buck. My friend Ben Ferguson,
who's a great radio host, many of you know him,
a great radio host and podcaster, also played D one tennis,
he says, so he was one of my coaches behind
the scenes. Here with John Isner, the greatest server of
all time in terms of speed and maybe just in general.
(19:37):
And here is mister Ben Ferguson on my one hundred
and three mile an hour serve.
Speaker 9 (19:42):
Win play bb Buck, Welcome to the one hundred mile club.
I never had any doubts as your friend and leg mentor.
I just want to be very clear about that now, Clay.
Let's be honest. He had his doubts. There's a lot
of others out there that had their doubts, maybe even
(20:02):
family members of yours that had their doubts. But I
personally knew what a stellar athlete you were. You're not
just a brilliant mind. You had it in you. We
just had to find it. So one hundred and three. Congratulations,
we still have, you know, hills to climb. One oh eight,
that's gonna be the next one. Okay, one oh eight.
Job well done, and uh well we'll keep just driving
(20:23):
those legs. I get your leg press for the for
the studio in between commercial breaks.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Maybe we can get it sponsored.
Speaker 9 (20:29):
Congratulations.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
You know, maybe I'm gonna get one ten before the
end of the year. You know, I'm not trying to
get a little little uh a little too high Falluton here.
Maybe one ten, one hundred ten miles an hour. We'll see,
but I'm not making any promises that one ten is
really fast. I'm not making any promises in that one.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Now we have uh oh, Chris Knowles, the Great Chris Knowles,
a producer and friend of mine from Newsmax AA.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Play it bucket, your boy, Chris, and I gotta tell
you that is a rocket of a serve. Not that
I ever doubted you, but I mean power and precision,
all while maintaining your your boyish good looks and charms.
I personally, I don't know how Clay recovers from this
(21:14):
as sure as he'll know that he'll never be able
to return something like that.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Congratulations, I knew you could do it. Thank you, mister
Chris Noles. I appreciate you, sir. I would also say
that all that I require here for mister Clay is
an Alcatraz swim. Now you know, I did my I
did my physical challenge challenge except the challenge met, and
I am looking forward to being in the little launch
boat that is there to make sure that Clay is safe,
(21:42):
make sure that when the sharks get close. I'm not
gonna do anyth about it, but I'm gonna say, Clay,
there's a shark, so I'm gonna help him out. I'm
looking out for my buddy there. Hey, Clay, I think
that might be a great waite. It's about ten yards
behind you, so go a little faster. I will be
there for him and make sure that he at least
has a fighting chance to make it back to land
from Alcatraz. That's the kind of guy. That's the kind
(22:04):
of co host I am.

many talkbacks about the one hundred miles per hour tennis challenge.
We got so many. Here, let's hear from our friend
Carol Markowitz. C C play that one, Hi, Clayan Buck.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
It's Carol Markowitz of the Carol Markowitz and Normally podcasts
on your network. I don't know anything about tennis. I
have never played the game. I don't know how fast
that ball goes. I don't need to know anything about it.
I know one thing, you do not bet against Buck Sexton.
I knew he'd get that ball over one hundred miles
an hour. I didn't need to know anything else other
(04:07):
than Buck Sexton was doing it. I bet on Buck
and I won, of course.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
You know what I mean. Clay, you know is a
brilliant lady with a huge podcast that's doing very well.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I love Carol's voice. She should be Carol Marko, which
should be the voice of one of these like Ways
apps or you know that. Just to make you feel calmer,
because you're rushed and stressed and everything else. That she
just sounds very calming, you know when she's talking.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Totally agree. You know, we also got I got some tips.
This is true true story online from John Isner, formerly
of the Pro Tour and the fastest tennis server of
all time. One of the greatest tennis servers of all time.
This is true and the fastest ever. I think it
was like one hundred and fifty ish miles an hour.
(04:58):
He also played in the longest match in in history.
That sounds right. He's sent in a little congratulations John Isner,
himself fastest server ever with the talkback play hh.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
All right, buck as arguably the greatest server of all
time and the record holder for the fastest serve of
all time. I gotta hand it to you, that was
a nice serve, a nice delivery, everything about it was
quite honestly perfect.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
That's that's like maybe the greatest praise that anybody's gotten
for anything on the show in four plus years.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I'm just telling you the greatest server of all time,
John isn't that's real, everybody. He's just saying, great serve,
mister Buckster. So you know, everybody, you just gotta. It's
just it's all in the It's all in the whip.
You know you gotta take it out. You gotta just
just let it rip. There Play Travis with the Clay
and Buck Show, wishing you and your family of very
(05:57):
mary Christmas and a happy New Year. Buck Sexton Here,
the entire Clay and Buck Show wish you and your
family a warm Christmas season and a joyful New Year.
Sunday Hay with Clay and Buck.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
In addition to Buck being an unbelievable star of the
Center Court, I just signed you guys are great, another
five hundred copies of Balls, my majestic work of literary
genius that is now available in bookstores everywhere, and if
(06:32):
you want an autograph copy. They sold out of all
the initial run. They were very very happy. They said,
will you please sign five hundred more? And I said yes,
and I just signed them in the studio. So if
you bought autograph copies of the book Claytravisballs dot Com,
I promise you will not go to prison if you
click on that link or put it in if you
(06:54):
want autograph copies for Christmas, they are done. Five hundred
more of them. They have got them. They are shipping
them out. I signed them all here on camera. Producer
Ali can a test. She can raise her right hand
and swear under oath. I did not autopenant Joe Biden's style.
I just signed them, completed them here in the studio.
(07:15):
They are going out, So five hundred more Claytravisballs dot com.
Once those are gone, they are gone. I sound like
a QBC host, but this is what Buck is going
to be doing in a couple of a couple of months.
Selling a book is Buck. It's a lot of a
lot of work. I mean, the amount of media that
(07:36):
I've done, in addition to all the stuff that we
already do is just buckle up come February. Because the
amount of time that I have spent telling people to
go buy this book. It's great and I appreciate it,
and I love all of you that have bought it,
but it is a It is a lot of work
in addition to everything else.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I just think that people also are so used to
everything short form now that it's really difficult for anyone
to not anyone. But it's hard and harder to get
people to say I'm going to spend twelve hours, eight
hours I about this a lot with your content. I'm
a big believer still despite all the videos and short
(08:19):
form and podcasts and everything. I'm a big believer in
book read it, yes, as a habit, as a thing
to do daily. If you can certainly weekly have a book.
I do kindles and hard you know, physical books. I
just think that it should be a part of everyone's life.
(08:40):
You should have things that you are reading that are
not news tweets, social media posts, whatever, it's any different
you're just sitting around watching videos mindlessly on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
There is a depth of learning that I think happens.
And I don't know if science supports this, but I'm
going to make an argument that I think I think
science should support if they haven't done this. There is
a depth of knowledge that comes from reading that does
not come from watching videos or certainly clicking on tweets.
(09:13):
And I was talking about this last night. I was
at the Patriot Awards. They were awesome. Erica Kirk got
an award, Milania Trump got an award that Fox News
puts on out in New York. But I was talking
with one of the top Fox News editors and we
were talking about how AI is impacting writing going forward
(09:33):
and what that's going to look like. And I just
think in an AI era the depth of knowledge, You're
going to have a lot of people with surface level
ability to analyze things. There's going to be no depth,
And I'm concerned about what the future of even written
articles pluck. Did you see the story from Axios? Over
(09:56):
fifty percent of articles on the Internet already are AI.
Where are the actual original thoughts? What are arguments going
to come from in an AI era? I'm legitimately concerned
about it. And also, if we thought disinformation misinformation spread
(10:17):
quickly before AI, can you imagine when there are going
to be entire AI universes created to spread awful things.
Have you seen the stuff about Robbie Starbuck. He's been
filing a bunch of lawsuits. Who probably should get him
on at some point to talk about this. But somewhere
in the Google world, somebody just decided they hated him
(10:38):
and they have been seeding these stories in AI that
say the most awful things about him. It's all untrue,
But how do you get that lie unraveled once it
takes root? I do think this is something that a
lot of people are not grappling with and certainly for
your kids. My kids, I spend so much time trying
(11:00):
to get them to read, and I think it's going
to become more and more challenging. So I hope that
you are going to end up with the ability to
read this book and not my book lots of other books.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
But you can also go to clayanbuck dot com. Two
for one my friends, short video of the most beautiful
one hundred and three mile an hour serve in Tennis
any of you will ever see?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Would I would argue uh?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
And you can click on Balls right below it and
get your copy of Balls. So clayanbuck dot com one
stop shop for all your good things to say. You
can do the short video thing and then the whole
book thing by Clay's Bookballs.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Thank you, Clay Travisballs dot Com. Autograph copy signed in
studio here for all the witnesses to see. No autopen
scandal coming on the books, Claytravisballs dot com. All right,
our friend Karine Jean Pierre speaking of book tour, she
did not write her book. She is not smart enough
to write her book. I would wager massive amounts of
money Buck, What would if you heard that Karine Jean
(11:59):
Pierre wrote her entire book, how Stunned beyond belief? Would
you be? Would you? I mean, what odds would you
have to get that career? I would zero? One zero.
I don't think she's capable zero, there's.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
No, it's not even it's not a bet I could make,
because it's just I know she didn't. It's zero.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
So she's on her book tour for the book that
she did not write, demonstrating every day why she is
too dumb to have written a book. She says, I
don't know if you saw this yet, buck that the
media isn't tough enough on Trump. They would have been
and were way tougher on Obama than I mean, there's
a double stand I mean, listen to this.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I can't believe this is real.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Cut twenty eight to your question about where we are
at the media. I think there's a Trump standard. You know,
there's a Trump standard that there's He's just covered differently,
and it is insane. I mean President Obama said it
perfectly recently. He said, can you imagine if I did that?
You imagine? And so there is a double standard there.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
She's right that there's a double standard, all right, so
in her credit, the problem is she's misapplying what the
double standard is.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
The media is too kind to Trump.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I just some of these people, I don't even understand
what world you could live in. Even people who hate
Trump look at this and say, Trump has been the
most attacked by media president in any of our lives.
And I don't even who with Nixon maybe the second
closest I wasn't alive, You weren't alive. Certainly Trump for
(13:37):
our lives is I don't even know who else would
even be in the stratosphere. And Nixon obviously was forced
out of office, but I mean, no one else is there.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I think you're bringing up Nixon know is important because
there has been for your your life, my life. This belief,
truly among the DC beltwagh media that Republican presidents better
watched themselves because they took one presidency down and they
could do it again if they if they have to,
(14:11):
if they want to. And I truly believe that that
was for most of the establishment journals in DC and
at New York Times, LA Times, across the country, at
these these kinds of places, they had this belief that
when the time comes or if a Republican steps out
a line. I don't mean does something terrible, just gets
(14:32):
a little too uppity. With the agenda and with the
mission that they're pursuing, they could end that presidency. And
I think they tried. I think that's what Russia collusion was, yes,
to end a presidency through nefarious, underhanded and dishonest means,
and failed. And then I think they tried again, with
(14:55):
the help of the prosecutions and the various legal lead
maneuvers they did rooting for this the whole time and
saying that Trump was an insurrectionist and all this stuff,
and they failed a second time. And now Clay, the
myth of invincibility for the media and their their power
(15:16):
to end a presidency is gone. I think that's right gone.
Sundays with Clay and Buss.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Michael in Utah.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
What you got is this wondering his question for Clay
since has got a book out called Balls, I was
wondering when he's gonna come out with the named boobs.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Thank you for the call. That might be too immature
for even me. Uh, although the fatter I get, I
could you know it could just be Clay's boobs because
unfortunately old man I I like, uh the female book.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Give me you're doing You're doing great. You're doing smoothies
every day. Clay has a smoothie for lunch. Sometimes I'm
sneaking shake shack like I gotta Clay. The Clay smoothie
regimen is is very have a bath.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
For lunch every day. We don't have a lot of
time to eat, and so if you watch the video
you'll see me. I mean, I can have a smoothie
without drawing a ton of attention or making a huge mess.
They tell me Buck that KK listener talk back KK
that I must listened to before.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
By the way, a mystery talkback. Let's see if the
audience can figure out who it is.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
These are crazy times we live in. I don't know
how it got to this point, but in the spirit
of Donald Trump, who brought peace to the Middle East,
he's bringing peace to Ukraine and Russia. Was it nine
piece deals? Now? I don't know how this whole insult
of Buck Sexton's serve came about, But Clay, I want
you to be the bigger man here and apologize. I
(16:39):
checked Bucks serving fundamentals his technique and we're talking rocket
Rod Laver stuff here. We're talking Gorin Ivanisovich or Michael Steek.
We're talking about a guy that is really extending.
Speaker 8 (16:54):
His toss is perfect. He crossed one hundred mile an
hour spectrum. I really think an apology is in order
for our tennis star Buck Sexton, and let's bring peace
back to the airwaves.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I'd just say that that's very clearly our fantastic lead
in on KTRH in Houston, mister Michael Barry, who when
he is doing his post show sometimes listens in and
knows what's going on, so he's waiting in. To be fair, Clay,
you were actually pretty neutral about the serve issue. You're
pretty neutral now, Lara.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Maybe you can do it.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Maybe you can now, Laura, Laura Travis, I would have
to put solidly in the hater contingent now he was there.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
She was a doubt, I would say doubter. She was
a doubter for sure.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
We are in the process of moving, which means that
she has not been listening to the show very often
in the last ten or twelve days.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
So I think if she had.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Been aware that you would hit one hundred mile an
hour serve, she would be zu Bruder film style analyzing
this to see whether or not she's going to submitted as.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
There's plenty of time for a talkback from Laura next
week if he just wants to say, you know, Buck,
who would know with all that poofy hair in that
giant head, your momentum on that serve was more than
people would have expected. So there you go.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
A lot of people are saying it was the haircut
that actually was the more aerodynamic.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
That's true, there was extra aerodynamics. Wait, we got a
good one for you, though. Where's the uh, where's the
one about? Is it? Uh? Hold on a second, All right, look,
l ll hit ll talkback.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Now that Buck has proved that he can hit a
ball over one hundred miles an hour, let's see if
Clay can prove that he can swim from Alcatraz to
the beach.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Keep up the good work again. But I think we
gotta we gotta do this. But also we got to
raise some money or something. And again my concern is
not the swim, it's the sharks. Uh. I don't want
to get killed.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
There's too many people who would exult uh and uh,
I don't want to make.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Maybe to make it more interesting. We dangle some good
ranchers steaks off like a little string.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
You don't have to be unhappy about me still being
alive for as long as I can make that a reality.
Clay Travis with the Clay and Buck Show, wishing you
and your family a very merry Christmas and a happy
New Year.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Sunday Sizzle with Clay and Buck. My friend Ben Ferguson,
who's a great radio host, many of you know him,
a great radio host and podcaster, also played D one tennis,
he says, so he was one of my coaches behind
the scenes. Here with John Isner, the greatest server of
all time in terms of speed and maybe just in general.
(19:37):
And here is mister Ben Ferguson on my one hundred
and three mile an hour serve.
Speaker 9 (19:42):
Win play bb Buck, Welcome to the one hundred mile club.
I never had any doubts as your friend and leg mentor.
I just want to be very clear about that now, Clay.
Let's be honest. He had his doubts. There's a lot
of others out there that had their doubts, maybe even
(20:02):
family members of yours that had their doubts. But I
personally knew what a stellar athlete you were. You're not
just a brilliant mind. You had it in you. We
just had to find it. So one hundred and three. Congratulations,
we still have, you know, hills to climb. One oh eight,
that's gonna be the next one. Okay, one oh eight.
Job well done, and uh well we'll keep just driving
(20:23):
those legs. I get your leg press for the for
the studio in between commercial breaks.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Maybe we can get it sponsored.
Speaker 9 (20:29):
Congratulations.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
You know, maybe I'm gonna get one ten before the
end of the year. You know, I'm not trying to
get a little little uh a little too high Falluton here.
Maybe one ten, one hundred ten miles an hour. We'll see,
but I'm not making any promises that one ten is
really fast. I'm not making any promises in that one.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Now we have uh oh, Chris Knowles, the Great Chris Knowles,
a producer and friend of mine from Newsmax AA.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Play it bucket, your boy, Chris, and I gotta tell
you that is a rocket of a serve. Not that
I ever doubted you, but I mean power and precision,
all while maintaining your your boyish good looks and charms.
I personally, I don't know how Clay recovers from this
(21:14):
as sure as he'll know that he'll never be able
to return something like that.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Congratulations, I knew you could do it. Thank you, mister
Chris Noles. I appreciate you, sir. I would also say
that all that I require here for mister Clay is
an Alcatraz swim. Now you know, I did my I
did my physical challenge challenge except the challenge met, and
I am looking forward to being in the little launch
boat that is there to make sure that Clay is safe,
(21:42):
make sure that when the sharks get close. I'm not
gonna do anyth about it, but I'm gonna say, Clay,
there's a shark, so I'm gonna help him out. I'm
looking out for my buddy there. Hey, Clay, I think
that might be a great waite. It's about ten yards
behind you, so go a little faster. I will be
there for him and make sure that he at least
has a fighting chance to make it back to land
from Alcatraz. That's the kind of guy. That's the kind
(22:04):
of co host I am.
