Hour 3 of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into a variety of intriguing and controversial topics. The hour begins with a discussion on Joy Reid's comments about the fall of the Roman Empire, where she claimed it collapsed due to a lack of diversity. The hosts critique her understanding of history and her broader implications about America's future.
Next, the show addresses a significant internal conflict at 60 Minutes, where veteran producer Bill Owens resigned due to perceived overreach by Paramount, the parent company. This resignation is linked to concerns about maintaining journalistic independence, especially in light of the Trump administration's influence on media mergers.
The conversation then shifts to a lighter, yet equally engaging topic involving Bill Belichick and his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. The hosts discuss the public's reaction to their age difference and the broader societal views on relationships with significant age gaps.
The show also features a montage of reactions to Shedeur Sanders' late selection in the NFL draft, with various commentators suggesting that racism played a role in his draft position. The hosts analyze these claims, noting the broader context of black quarterbacks being highly drafted in recent years.
Listeners are invited to share their own experiences with significant age differences in relationships, leading to a series of calls from audience members with personal stories of large age gaps in their marriages. This segment highlights the diversity of opinions and experiences within the show's audience.
The hour concludes with a humorous anecdote from Clay about a yard sale at his home, where his wife's enthusiasm for the event contrasts with his own bewilderment at the popularity of yard sales.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us. Every time we come
back after a weekend, there are all sorts of craziness
that pile up because we basically have forty eight hours
of wackiness. There's lots of shows on the weekend and
(00:23):
there are always a couple of things that I see
and I just think, I can't believe that this is real,
and I want to hit you with two different aspects
of crazy town. First, Buck, I don't know if you
saw this, but Joy Reid who has sort of joined
Don Lemon in going off into the wilderness and nobody
is really kind of paying attention to her, and she
(00:45):
and Keith Oberman and Don Lemon all used to have
prominent television shows and then they went to the Internet,
and what they've had to learn is the internet's way
more competitive and it's way harder to get attention on
the Internet than it is when you have one of
three news channel shows, and so there aren't that many
(01:07):
people competing with you. And so did you see this,
Joy Reid said, the Roman Empire died because it wasn't
diverse enough. And if America sticks with white people, the
country is going to collapse. This is cut nine. This
was what the dumbest person who used to have a
television show is saying now that she's on the internet
(01:29):
by herself without a staff. Cut nine.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Each community on Earth, if you take that away and
try to distill us just down to white folks, we'll
be like Europe and.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Aging, slowly dying.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Former empire, the Roman Empire didn't survive because it didn't
have enough strength in its diversity. It suppressed its diversity,
and it died. If the US wants to be the
Roman Empire, keep voting the way you vote, y'all.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I buck, do you think that Joy Reid? Or when
you think Joy Reid, do you think knowledgeable of ancient
histories and civilization. I don't think that she could name
three rulers of Rome for the entirety off the top
of her head. She would get Julius Caesar. I think
(02:19):
she would. I think that would be I think she'd
tap out after that, she'd be like Julius Caesar. And
then and then you know, maybe she would squeak out Augustus.
That would be it, because each all right, maybe maybe
she would get to three that, but I'm telling you
it would it would get it would get very shaky,
(02:39):
very fast. Okay, So that is cut one of Crazy.
I've actually got three cuts of crazy for you. Buck.
Sixty minutes did you see this? Sixty Minutes ended its
broadcast on Sunday by saying that their veteran producer left
because Paramount is supervising content too aggressively. And remember there's
(03:05):
a lawsuit currently pending against CBS News and sixty Minutes.
This was cut nineteen. In case you missed it, this
was a direct shot at the company that owns the
show that the network airs, this sixty minute show. This
was cut nineteen Scott Pelley.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Bill resigned Tuesday. It was hard on him and hard
on us, but he did it for us and you.
Stories we pursued for fifty seven years are often controversial
lately the Israel Gazo War and the Trump administration. Bill
made sure they were accurate and fair. He was tough
that way. But our parent company, Paramount, is trying to
(03:44):
complete a merger. The Trump administration must approve it. Paramount
began to supervise our content in new ways. None of
our stories has been blocked. But Bill felt he lost
the independence that honest journalism requires. No one here is
happy about it. But in resigning, Bill proved one thing.
(04:04):
He was the right person to lead. Sixty minutes all along?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Okay, then one more and I'm gonna let you rank
on the crazy town scale. I know you saw this too, Buck.
Bill Belichick did an interview with CBS News as well,
and he was asked a question about where he met
his twenty four year old girlfriend. I'm not sure how
good this audio is going to sound, but Bill Belichick
(04:32):
is seventy two years old. He has got a twenty
four year old girlfriend. He is the head coach. Belichick
is right now of the University of North Carolina tar Heels,
So imagine, I know we got a big audience in
North Carolina. He's in a Navy sweatshirt. I believe his
dad was the coach at Navy. I bet the sweatshirt
is older than his girlfriend. And this is what it
(04:56):
sounded like when the reporter asked where they met. From
off camera, Bill Belichick's girlfriend decides to interrupt. This has
cut fifteen.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
The other change for Belichick is twenty four year old
Jordan Hudson, his creative mus as he writes in his book,
Make sure that's the Jordan was a constant presence during
our interview.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
You have Jordan thread over there.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Everybody in the world seems to be following this relationship.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
They've got an opinion about your private life.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
It's got nothing to do with them, but they're invested
in it.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
How do you deal with that?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Never been too worried about what everybody else. Thanks, just
to try to do what I feel like is best
for me and what's right.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
How did you guys.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
Meet not talking about this?
Speaker 4 (05:42):
No, no, it's a topic neither one of them is
comfortable commenting on.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Okay, so twenty four year old girlfriend just jumps right
into the interview. Okay, So you got Joy Reid on
the Roman Empire, Buck, You've got CBS sixty minutes, and
then you have have the Belichick girlfriend on the scale
of crazy cringe? How would you assess the trio of
(06:09):
interviews or commentary there? Because I got my ranking on
crazy cringe? How would you what is the craziest cringiest
of those three? I'm gonna get Joy read the Bill Belichick?
What was the other one? Sixty minutes saying like, hey,
our guy resigned because we no longer have the freedom
to do a show that's a gimme, that's pretty standard
for sixty minutes stuff. I would say, for me, the
(06:32):
Bill Belichick thing is even cringier than Joy Reid on
the Roman Empire. You know, I will say this. I
think that people I've noticed this more that there are
people that have started to try to police age gap
among consenting adults in a way that I think is
(06:52):
weird and kind of and pretty annoying. You know, people say, oh, well,
you know, he's fifteen years older than her. It's like, yeah,
you know, she's thirty, he's forty five, or he's fifty
and she's you know, or she's you know, fifty and
he's fifteen years younger, fifteen years old or whatever it
may be. But but I mean, it's it's not you know,
maybe that's not your thing, but people try to make
(07:13):
it seem like there's something wrong with that. Yeah, I
think that's really that's obtuse, Like there's nothing wrong with it.
Like you may not agree with it, you may not
want that in your own life. You may not want
that for your daughter or your son, whatever. That's fine,
but there's nothing you know, people try to act like
there's a power in balance that like the law should
get involved. Almost right, you start to see this this
(07:33):
creepying Oh well he's fifty and she's twenty five, so
they shouldn't be able. No, like I will say with
the Belichick thing, Yeah, I don't think that. You know,
it's fine, it's legal, consenting adults. It's pretty weird. Like
there is a limit, is what I'm trying to get
to here, Like I have a very wide I think
you get, you know, you get you're willing to give
(07:55):
twenty five, thirty years. I'll give someone twenty five or
thirty years in an age gap. Again, consenting adults. Obviously,
I'll give somebody twenty five or thirty years in an
age gap. And I don't think that that's anybody's business.
But the but fifty years, fifty years Clay like, that's
pretty that's uh, that's pretty wow. I gotta tell you.
(08:18):
That would be me or you Mary or not marrying whatever,
dating somebody who will be born in the next five
to ten years.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
Born.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Funny, It's very funny. It's very funny. It's like that
Saturday One great skit they did for Saturday Night Live.
Do you remember this buck was meet your second wife,
and like all the guys are standing there and the
girls are walking out, and like the girl is like
six years old. It's like the guy's like forty and
(08:49):
they're and then like this woman walks out and uh
and I think it's the uh uh uh the character
standing there waiting and he's like, oh, the girl's like,
I don't know, twenty five or thirties. It's like, hey,
that's not so bad. And then the woman says she's pregnant.
It's like, so that is a really funny skit that
Saturday Night Live did a few years ago. I'm glad
(09:12):
that I've got three boys. You now have a son.
If I had a daughter and she brought home a
man that she was dating that was older than me,
I would lose it. I just as much as you
might focus on the girl being like fifty years younger
and that's weird that she's interrupting the interview and all
(09:33):
these things. Imagine what it's like at Thanksgiving when you
open the door and legendary Super Bowl winning head coach
Bill Belichick, who probably is a decade or fifteen years
older than you, is dating your baby girl. I think
it would be really hard to have Thanksgiving dinner. I
(09:55):
just and I don't understand where this relationship goes because
to your point, if they were let's say it's true love. Okay,
let's say that she is head over heels in love
with seventy four year old Bill Belichick. We're giving we're
giving a lot of leeway here, but God, I am
saying Cupid's arrow has struck her in the heart and
she cannot cannot find another man that she loves more
(10:18):
seventy four year old Bill Belichick. In a decade, Belichick
is going to be eighty four and she's going to
be thirty four. Basically, where does this math make sense
going forward? Right?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Like?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Most men don't live to be eighty four. Where does
this go right?
Speaker 7 (10:39):
Like?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I don't really understand that it's a simple math equation
that I find it hard to even on your point,
like fifty year old twenty five year old Okay, they're
probably not going to have a fifty year marriage, right
Unlikely he's going to live to be one hundred and
she's going to be seventy five, at which point, you know, whatever,
good for them, But you could still be married twenty
five or thirty years, which is a long time, and
(11:01):
in twenty five or thirty years you could have a
pretty good life for each with each other. Well, I
mean also fifty or oh. This is a whole thing.
And I think a lot of you listening are living
this and know this already without us saying it. But
people in their fifties and sixties today are active, healthy
and able to enjoy their lives much more frequently. You know,
(11:22):
at that level then you you know, they look like
people who are thirty or forty not too long ago.
I mean, the point of this changing, and everything has
changed a lot, is just that we're being very generous
and saying twenty five or thirty years. Like you may
not like it, but we're at least saying okay. At
some point your eyebrows raised. I'm not sure where the
(11:44):
number is. Fifty is one? This is what I was
getting at, is that I'll give you twenty five or thirty.
It's like, you know, hey, you know true, A lot
of people would rip us for saying we're giving you
twenty five or thirty. I think we're being super kind.
It wouldn't be my choice, okay, like I would not
have gone that route. I think that having somebody who
is in a similar stage of life to you, you know,
(12:09):
I think my my personal belief, not really. I think
anything within ten years is sort of standard operating, at
least in New York City. It is standard operating procedure.
So most guys who get married that I know are
let's say, thirty five, and their wives are twenty eight,
twenty nine, thirty, you know, I mean like that, that's
the that's the standard. The guy's usually a little bit older.
(12:29):
You're actually you're younger than your wife, right, which is
unusual among friends of mine. I don't know if I
know anybody else. I actually my friend Eric, who you met,
Eric Wynn, the Watch guy, I think his wife is
a year or two older than him. But you know,
generally speaking, you know, within five My wife is two
years older than me and looks twenty years younger. Did
I tell you this? Fucking We were at a football
game with my kids at the Tennessee Alabama game. My
(12:53):
wife went to the bathroom and the woman behind me said,
your daughter is lovely nice, which I told Laura and
I would like baby be a little bit nervous. She's
actually two years older than me, living so much better
than me, that she looks twenty years younger that that woman,
because I had my kids are sons. That the woman
(13:14):
behind me, who is probably I don't know, fifteen years
older than me, said, your daughter looks lovely. So my wife,
who was older than me and has birth three sons,
including one who is seventeen, the lady behind me thought
that she was like a college age girl going to
the bathroom. By the way, producer Ali eight years older
than Gerard. So on the show, there you go. I'm
(13:34):
just saying, I think, and I know this is maybe
different in different you know, cultural enclaves of the country.
I think anything within ten years is totally standard operating
procedure like that doesn't even I think, you know, you
get up to twenty years plus age difference. Okay, you
know it's again not my thing, but like you know,
true love is blind, right, like people do their thing.
(13:54):
Fifty years is weird. This is where we're drawing. This
is where we're drawing the line, fifty years age difference.
It's again, it's legal, it's lawful, that's fine, but it's
it's weird. There's something weird going on. Very weird. We
agree on that. We'll take your reactions. By the way
that the trio of crazy coming out of the weekend,
maybe we should start to make that a trend where
(14:16):
the craziest things that happen because it feels like over
the weekend nowadays, there are definitely several different things that
happen that are crazy. Look leaf blowers, They're everywhere, these
guys driving me crazy. Frankly, anyone using a leaf blower
early in the morning should be, I think committed. You
shouldn't be allowed to start a leaf blower early in
the morning anywhere in this country. Unbelievably, everybody's got leaf
(14:39):

the lines are lit. Yes, the beehive has been I
don't think that has been kicked. We've just let the
beehive buzz talk about something that people feel passionately about,
age differences between married couples and Becky and North Carolina. Becky,
(16:06):
I am told by our team that you have celebrated
twenty seven years of marriage with a husband with whom
you have a thirty one year age gap. Congratulations, how's
it all going? What do you think? Hi?
Speaker 5 (16:22):
It's great and actually we're not at twenty seven yet.
We're coming up on the twenty seventh anniversary.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Okay, married event.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
We were married in nineteen ninety eight. I was twenty six,
my husband, and actually I took him last month for
his birthday on a cruise and he just turned in March.
He just turned eighty four, and I'm fifty two. And
we have God gave them to us. We have birth
I birthed our two sons once twenty three. One's twenty
(16:52):
and my husband was sixty when our firstborn was son,
and sixty three when the second one was born. And
so yeah, we've been married almost twenty seven years and
we are thirty one and a half years apart in age.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And it's great, all right, thirty one and a half
years apart in age. What would be a number to
you that you would look at and say that's too
big of an age gap?
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Pretty two?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Okay. I love the answer. I like the answer. This
is actually a really funny. How did you meet?
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Well, we met actually I was nineteen. We didn't get
married till I was twenty six. We met I was
an X ray student and I was rotating through the
hospital where he's a physician. He was a radiologist.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
That's what he did. Doctor nurse, doctor nurse. Situation very nice.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
No, no, no, no, I wasn't a nurse. I was
an X ray technologist.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
I took oh, okay, and he read me yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
And so after a number of years we became friends
right off. And after a number of years I realized, well,
he's making like fifteen times my salary. I've ever marry
him and get in on this money.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
No, he he is a shrewd. A shrewd lady. Congrats
on all your happy marriage, Beck. You appreciate your calling in.
We'll take if anyone has more than thirty years of
an age GAF, I want them to call in because
thirty right now, for thirty one is the is the
current reigning champ of our audience. When you think of Israel,
you think of its history, you think of innovation and
its ability to defend itself. If you don't think that
(18:20):
everyone knows where the nearest bomb shelter is or has
a plan to stay in contact with loved ones in
the event of a missile attack, it is still anything
but normal over there, and they need their friends and
allies around the world to stand with Israel. That's why
we partner with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews
to help provide life saving aid and security essentials. Your
urgently needed gift today will go toward bomb shelters, black jackets,

That's eighty eight four eight eight IFCJ, or go to
SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. Welcome back in play Travis Buck Sexton show,
(19:01):
I feel like an auctioneer after Buck asked, what was
the thirty one years Becky was younger than her husband
and they now have two year after two? Do we
have thirty five, thirty five, thirty five year age grap
Do we have forty forty age gap? Forty years married
age gap? Forty What is the biggest age gap currently
existing marriage of anyone listening right now? You can't have
(19:25):
gotten married and then gotten divorced like a year later
and you were, you know, seventy to twenty five, uh
eight hundred and two two two eight A two. Can
anybody beat Becky who was listening right now? In the meantime,
I'm about to blow Buck's mind here with this montage
that producer Greg put together. So Shador Sanders, quarterback Colorado,
(19:46):
son of the legendary defensive back Dion Sanders, who is
currently the head football coach at Colorado, he was not
drafted until the fifth round. President Trump weighed in. It
became a huge story over the week end, and many
different sports media decided there was only one thing that
could be going on. It was racism. Now, Buck, the
(20:10):
top two quarterbacks drafted in twenty twenty four, Black, the
top three quarterbacks drafted twenty twenty three, Black, the top
quarterback drafted over the weekend. Black. Yet the sports media
had to let you know the only explanation for why
Shador Sanders wasn't being drafted was racism. Listen, there's a
(20:35):
lot of.
Speaker 8 (20:35):
People out there who are saying that, you know, he
needed to be humble, should have sayers didn't need to
be humble, He's already humbled. His confidence should not shake
you or make you uncomfortable. They hate to see confident
you black, and you confident you know where you come from.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
You know who you are, you know what you can do,
and you don't need.
Speaker 9 (20:54):
Nobody to patch you on the back to give you
the confidence.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
They hated universally recognize one of the top three quarters
in the country answering this draft, and thirty two teams
passed on them, not once, not twice, not three times.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
But four different times they passed on them. How the
hell has that happen?
Speaker 6 (21:10):
So, if it's not football, what is it? Are there
racial undertones here? Racist undertones? But it just stinks. It
smells of racist undertones of too many white people in
charge in this league. It's the way Shador dresses, It's
the way he talks and his culture.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
You see him at the draft.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
He's wearing all black, he got the ill chain on,
and he talks like a rap buck.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
This is sports media losing its mind racism. Black men
are not being treated fairly in the NFL, which, by
the way, over half black. I have, yeah, I have,
I have a question. Wasn't Stephen A. Smith one of
the voices that I heard of that montage? The voices?
Let me make sure that I get this right. The voices, Uh,
(22:05):
Steven A. Smith? Yes, one of the voices Skip Bayless,
former representative Jamal Bowman in New York who lost his job,
NFL quarterback, former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin the Third, and
NBA basketball player Steven Jackson. I have to I have
to weave here for a second and into a into
his side a side story. Jamal Bowman good on TikTok,
(22:29):
bad on fire alarms. He's good on TikTok. Yes, he
was the only guy who wanted to keep TikTok alive.
Like good as in he's good. Only I thought he
meant that he was. He had the same opinion that
agreed agree with him on TikTok, disagree with him on
pulling fire alarms. But back to so you know, nobody
(22:53):
wins them all. Back to this story. I need help
here because this this is always a thing when Clay
this is it's kind of a funny litss test. Actually,
when a story has become news not sports news. If
Clay can say to me, have you heard and I'm like, yes,
this schedure fellow, I saw something about this in the headlines.
He's like, Okay, it's crossed over to if it's on
(23:13):
buck radar, that means it's no longer a sports story.
It's just story story, right, Caroline love it? I think
do we have the audio? Caroline was asked about it
this morning by Peter Doocey. Do we have that audio?
Do we added? I think we did? Yeah? Play seven
listen to this Buck.
Speaker 10 (23:29):
After the President's truth social host, the Browns finally took Sanders.
Does the President think he deserves credit for Sanders getting pitched?
And does he think going to the Browns is better
than being undrafted?
Speaker 11 (23:42):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
All I will say is the President put out a
statement and a few rounds later he was drafted.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
So I think the facts speak for themselves on that one.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Peter, all right, So, by the way, Deucey with a
total shot for everybody listening in Cleveland, he said, is
going to the Browns better than being undrafted? H the
Browns historically, Yeah, not a great franchise, Buck in terms
of on field success. So Doocey off the top rope
(24:13):
there from the White House press briefing. Okay, question is
some of the things that I picked up here and
I just I just know this is a big story.
And as we heard the montage and sounds like Stephen
A is also somebody who is coming forward to say
that there was some racial angle. Yes, right, he's yeah,
he did. The guy who was the first round draft
(24:34):
pick in the entire thing. I watched not a second
of this. Yes, I can't turned it on when I
was number one overall pick, black quarterback, black quarterback. Okay,
so that to me, that to me is a kind
of a big symbol, a big indicator that there's not
a problem with taking a black quarterback number one in
the draft. And in fact, as you said, NFL is
(24:55):
half black. So I don't think anyone thinks there aren't
enough black guys in the NFL. And that's the case.
The only question is he universally considered a top three quarterback?
Is that that was also a thing that I heard?
Is that also accurate? Because that's this is I'm gonna
take you in. I'm gonna take you in. And we
got some great callers, by the way, with huge gaps
(25:17):
on their age. We'll get to those in a sec.
But the NFL Draft is now the second most popular
basically sporting event in the country. Number one is the NFL.
Number two is the draft for the NFL. Maybe you
could argue, let me just take a step back. College
(25:37):
football is number two. The NFL draft is number three.
I would rather watch high level chess I have. I
do not understand how this is interesting to people. I'm sorry,
call me a weirdo. Okay, but I think I'm not
the only one who doesn't care to watch the draft
out there. The draft buck is more popular than the
actual NBA playoffs and the actual NHL playoffs combined. That
(26:03):
is the actual competition. If you look at the average
game in the NBA playoffs and the NHL playoffs and
you combine them, it's less popular ratings wise than the
NFL draft. Everybody does mock drafts. That's a huge part
of the draft season. Everybody projects who's going to draft
and everything else. So what's really amazing about this is
all of the Shador Sanders hype was entirely based on
(26:28):
what people thought would occur, based on the fake mock
drafts that they did not based on any actual tangible Hey,
we know what this team's draft board looks like. So
that is the That is the background there. Now we
got some incredible calls. I think, let me hit this, Walter,
(26:50):
you have been married for thirteen years. You say you
are sixty nine years old. Your wife is thirty two,
so you are thirty seven years older than your wife. Yes, sir,
all right, so you've been married for thirty say Walter,
currently reigning champion. Okay, fuck up, let me make sure
(27:12):
I got this math right. Walter, you were fifty six
and you married a nineteen year old.
Speaker 9 (27:19):
She was actually she was actually just turned twenty board
looks like just turned twenty one when I met her.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I mean, just turn twenty one when you met How
did you meet your wife? Who is this much different
in age than you? Thirty seven years younger?
Speaker 9 (27:35):
Okay, whichever one of you worked for the CIA loved this.
My son works for the CIA, and his wife and
him often had Filipino maids, and they said, if you're
gonna get remarried, you need to go to the Philippines.
They love Americans, they love everything about Americans. And that's
what I did. I got online, met a Filipino and
(27:56):
I went and saw her. Took about a year for
her to come to the United States on a K
one visa passport whatever, and we got married thirty days later.
And you, guys, I can tell you what the limit
should be.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
What's the limit.
Speaker 9 (28:13):
It should be. The limit should be when you can't
perform normal marital issues, and one of those is having children.
I have three children with her. She blessed me at
sixty years old. With my last child, I got cut
after that. I have five children that are all older
than her.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
So you have I like, how how can I say?
I like how we're we're like all in the trust
tree here. It's just the three of us and about
three million people listening, and we're just you know, we're
just laying it out there. So you have eight total kids, yes, sir,
and you had your oldest sorry you were how old
when your youngest was born?
Speaker 9 (28:52):
My sixty?
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Okay, Well, thank you for the call. I'm glad it's
going well there. The marriage has been great, iyes. It
sounds like it's worked out really well for you, and
we love hearing about happy marriage.
Speaker 9 (29:03):
It has been. But you know, everybody has their their
things that are important to them. You know, I don't
know what's important to Belichick's wife.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
But friend, well, this is a great to be clear, sir,
this is a this is a you know, like an
Instagram girlfriend kind of a thing. Yeah, they're not there's
no kids no marriage here, So just putting that out there.
We've got thank you, We've got two more. This one
is kind of an upset. I just want to be
Is he the reigning champion at what was that? Thirty
thirty seven years? Yes? And then we've got multiple people
(29:34):
with thirty year age gaps. Let's see, Alan, she is thirty,
she's twenty three. That's nothing, you're a twenty twenty. Some
of those are rookie numbers. We've got to get those teams.
You got to do better than that. Alan Craig and Florida, Florida,
a lot of Florida man. Uh Craig thirty four years
older than his wife. Craig, How old were you when
(29:55):
you got married?
Speaker 7 (29:58):
Let's see, Well, I'm seventy now, so it was what
about fifty seven? Fifty eight?
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Okay? And your wife was how old when you married her?
Speaker 7 (30:08):
How old were you? Honey, she's listening on the radio
and she's hiding, she's duck her head, she's doctor head. Well,
I'm thirty four and a half years older than her.
She just turned thirty six.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
So how did you meet? So you're seventy basically, and
she's mid thirties. How did you meet.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
I was a professor at a college and she was
one of my students.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Oh there we go. Goodness, all right, there we go.
She better stay hidden. I won't ask you, Clay. You know,
some ladies just can't resist a guy in a tweet
jacket with elbow patches. You know, that's just the way.
Do you guys have kids? Craig? Okay? And then you
got Melanie in Houston has called in. This is the
first woman. She is thirty two years younger than her husband. Melanie,
(30:58):
how are you.
Speaker 11 (31:00):
I'm doing great. It's good to talk to you.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
So you are the woman who has had the we
had Becky call in thirty one and a half. You
are thirty two years age difference. How old were you
when you got married?
Speaker 11 (31:11):
I was forty one.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Oh okay, well see like this and now I'm gonna
like so you're I also think that the age I
think once you once you hit forty, it's like you're
a fully like the potato is fully baked. You know
what I mean? You are who you are, and so
that doesn't you know, So I think that that's interesting that,
you know, it's more when we get the people that
are like nineteen marrying a fifty year old that I
(31:35):
think there's a generational gap that exists there. You know,
that's that's pretty prominent. That's really what you want to say. Though.
Speaker 11 (31:43):
He served twenty four years in the Air Force, and
he was an incredible man, just a great American. We
met while volunteering for local rodeo, Pasadena, Texas Rodeo, and.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
He just.
Speaker 11 (32:01):
Just his personality was overwhelming. He was so kind, he
was so sweet. He treated my two children like they
were his own. He had four grown boys, all older
than me. They never accepted me, they never liked me.
I took care of him actually in our home until
the day that he passed from cancer, and I just
(32:25):
I was very blessed. And everyone everyone whose life he touched,
his name was Billy Graham, just like the preacher. Everyone
who he touched was blessed.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Well, thanks, thank you so much. And it's a we
love hearing these lovely stories about marriages that work out
and uh and go a very long ways in terms
of the duration. We'll come back. We'll do uh some
more of some more of these calls. For sure. This
has been this has been very very illuminating, very interesting
for sure.
Speaker 9 (32:54):
No doubt.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
You know what else is illuminating and interesting. The NFL
Draft is over, but the NBA playoffs and the NHL
Playoffs are still underway, as well as Major League Baseball.
And you know what doesn't matter how old you are? Well,
I guess you have to be twenty one or older.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Buck podcast feed. Find it on the iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcasts. We're gonna be closing up
shop here momentarily. We're having some fun in the third
hour talking about the Bill Belichick. It's fifty right, like
a fifty year age gap. Yeah, he's seventy four, I believe,
or seventy two and she's twenty four, forty eight years.
(34:06):
I guess that's the biggest age gap I have heard of, certainly,
you know, since the Anna Nicole Smith era. Uh so,
that's the biggest age gap I've ever heard of. We're
wondering with the biggest age gap. Wasn't this age gap
was in this audience? I didn't tell you right now,
those of you who write writing and are calling in,
we appreciate it. I hope you have a great marriage,
lots of kids, beautiful lives, twenty twenty year age gap,
(34:27):
that's that's rookie numbers. That's rookie numbers. These days. Here
we've are We got a whole slew of thirty plus
that are calling in right in. So it is not
as unusual as some may think to have people married
and seemingly happily. We certainly hope that is the case
for all of our listeners. You have a great, happy marriage,
But thirty year age gaps of plenty in this audience,
(34:48):
which is which is pretty fun. Pretty funny. But before
I get into that, speaking of happy marriages, Clay, my
understanding is that there was quite a fiesta at Casa
Clay Travis over the weekend. Are we allowed to talk
about this or we banned? Laura may want to come
on tomorrow because it's very end of the show. My wife,
(35:09):
every year in the neighborhood they have a yard sale. Sixties,
she says, houses had yard sales. They do it one
time a year in the neighborhood. Every year I ask
why we are doing a yard sale, and every year
I am shouted down as a imbecile for asking this question.
(35:32):
So I don't understand it. I don't know very many
men out there that are huge yard sale people. Maybe
there are tons of you out there right now. They're like,
you know what, I would love to spend the weekend
doing yard sales. Women are obsessed with yard sales. Buck.
It is the craziest thing I've ever seen. They start
showing up at the crack of dawn. There are very
(35:55):
few things I would wake up for at the crack
of dawn on a weekend. And the entire house was
swarmed with people buying stuff at our house, and I
just I mean, I don't get it. I don't understand
why women love yard sales. Were there some ThunderCats pillowcases?
(36:16):
As I asked, I mean, what are we talking about?
Maybe some some Ghostbusters costumes? The boys are getting older,
so lots of costumes, lots of Batman sheets? You wanted ThunderCats?
It is can? I mean, let's be honest, Clay is
is a is a T shirt that is old and
worn in but worn by OutKick founder Clay Travis? Is
(36:38):
that a selling point? Is it like you know, like
the water that a saint has bathed in or something?
Or how do you know what? You know what? The
one calamity is I need to apologize. Dana Perino's autographed
book that she had just sent to me accidentally got
so old. Man. We got to track it down. We
got to track down Dana Perino's book. It ended up
(36:59):
getting bought
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all
of you hanging out with us. Every time we come
back after a weekend, there are all sorts of craziness
that pile up because we basically have forty eight hours
of wackiness. There's lots of shows on the weekend and
(00:23):
there are always a couple of things that I see
and I just think, I can't believe that this is real,
and I want to hit you with two different aspects
of crazy town. First, Buck, I don't know if you
saw this, but Joy Reid who has sort of joined
Don Lemon in going off into the wilderness and nobody
is really kind of paying attention to her, and she
(00:45):
and Keith Oberman and Don Lemon all used to have
prominent television shows and then they went to the Internet,
and what they've had to learn is the internet's way
more competitive and it's way harder to get attention on
the Internet than it is when you have one of
three news channel shows, and so there aren't that many
(01:07):
people competing with you. And so did you see this,
Joy Reid said, the Roman Empire died because it wasn't
diverse enough. And if America sticks with white people, the
country is going to collapse. This is cut nine. This
was what the dumbest person who used to have a
television show is saying now that she's on the internet
(01:29):
by herself without a staff. Cut nine.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Each community on Earth, if you take that away and
try to distill us just down to white folks, we'll
be like Europe and.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Aging, slowly dying.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Former empire, the Roman Empire didn't survive because it didn't
have enough strength in its diversity. It suppressed its diversity,
and it died. If the US wants to be the
Roman Empire, keep voting the way you vote, y'all.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I buck, do you think that Joy Reid? Or when
you think Joy Reid, do you think knowledgeable of ancient
histories and civilization. I don't think that she could name
three rulers of Rome for the entirety off the top
of her head. She would get Julius Caesar. I think
(02:19):
she would. I think that would be I think she'd
tap out after that, she'd be like Julius Caesar. And
then and then you know, maybe she would squeak out Augustus.
That would be it, because each all right, maybe maybe
she would get to three that, but I'm telling you
it would it would get it would get very shaky,
(02:39):
very fast. Okay, So that is cut one of Crazy.
I've actually got three cuts of crazy for you. Buck.
Sixty minutes did you see this? Sixty Minutes ended its
broadcast on Sunday by saying that their veteran producer left
because Paramount is supervising content too aggressively. And remember there's
(03:05):
a lawsuit currently pending against CBS News and sixty Minutes.
This was cut nineteen. In case you missed it, this
was a direct shot at the company that owns the
show that the network airs, this sixty minute show. This
was cut nineteen Scott Pelley.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Bill resigned Tuesday. It was hard on him and hard
on us, but he did it for us and you.
Stories we pursued for fifty seven years are often controversial
lately the Israel Gazo War and the Trump administration. Bill
made sure they were accurate and fair. He was tough
that way. But our parent company, Paramount, is trying to
(03:44):
complete a merger. The Trump administration must approve it. Paramount
began to supervise our content in new ways. None of
our stories has been blocked. But Bill felt he lost
the independence that honest journalism requires. No one here is
happy about it. But in resigning, Bill proved one thing.
(04:04):
He was the right person to lead. Sixty minutes all along?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Okay, then one more and I'm gonna let you rank
on the crazy town scale. I know you saw this too, Buck.
Bill Belichick did an interview with CBS News as well,
and he was asked a question about where he met
his twenty four year old girlfriend. I'm not sure how
good this audio is going to sound, but Bill Belichick
(04:32):
is seventy two years old. He has got a twenty
four year old girlfriend. He is the head coach. Belichick
is right now of the University of North Carolina tar Heels,
So imagine, I know we got a big audience in
North Carolina. He's in a Navy sweatshirt. I believe his
dad was the coach at Navy. I bet the sweatshirt
is older than his girlfriend. And this is what it
(04:56):
sounded like when the reporter asked where they met. From
off camera, Bill Belichick's girlfriend decides to interrupt. This has
cut fifteen.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
The other change for Belichick is twenty four year old
Jordan Hudson, his creative mus as he writes in his book,
Make sure that's the Jordan was a constant presence during
our interview.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
You have Jordan thread over there.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Everybody in the world seems to be following this relationship.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
They've got an opinion about your private life.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
It's got nothing to do with them, but they're invested
in it.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
How do you deal with that?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Never been too worried about what everybody else. Thanks, just
to try to do what I feel like is best
for me and what's right.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
How did you guys.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
Meet not talking about this?
Speaker 4 (05:42):
No, no, it's a topic neither one of them is
comfortable commenting on.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Okay, so twenty four year old girlfriend just jumps right
into the interview. Okay, So you got Joy Reid on
the Roman Empire, Buck, You've got CBS sixty minutes, and
then you have have the Belichick girlfriend on the scale
of crazy cringe? How would you assess the trio of
(06:09):
interviews or commentary there? Because I got my ranking on
crazy cringe? How would you what is the craziest cringiest
of those three? I'm gonna get Joy read the Bill Belichick?
What was the other one? Sixty minutes saying like, hey,
our guy resigned because we no longer have the freedom
to do a show that's a gimme, that's pretty standard
for sixty minutes stuff. I would say, for me, the
(06:32):
Bill Belichick thing is even cringier than Joy Reid on
the Roman Empire. You know, I will say this. I
think that people I've noticed this more that there are
people that have started to try to police age gap
among consenting adults in a way that I think is
(06:52):
weird and kind of and pretty annoying. You know, people say, oh, well,
you know, he's fifteen years older than her. It's like, yeah,
you know, she's thirty, he's forty five, or he's fifty
and she's you know, or she's you know, fifty and
he's fifteen years younger, fifteen years old or whatever it
may be. But but I mean, it's it's not you know,
maybe that's not your thing, but people try to make
(07:13):
it seem like there's something wrong with that. Yeah, I
think that's really that's obtuse, Like there's nothing wrong with it.
Like you may not agree with it, you may not
want that in your own life. You may not want
that for your daughter or your son, whatever. That's fine,
but there's nothing you know, people try to act like
there's a power in balance that like the law should
get involved. Almost right, you start to see this this
(07:33):
creepying Oh well he's fifty and she's twenty five, so
they shouldn't be able. No, like I will say with
the Belichick thing, Yeah, I don't think that. You know,
it's fine, it's legal, consenting adults. It's pretty weird. Like
there is a limit, is what I'm trying to get
to here, Like I have a very wide I think
you get, you know, you get you're willing to give
(07:55):
twenty five, thirty years. I'll give someone twenty five or
thirty years in an age gap. Again, consenting adults. Obviously,
I'll give somebody twenty five or thirty years in an
age gap. And I don't think that that's anybody's business.
But the but fifty years, fifty years Clay like, that's
pretty that's uh, that's pretty wow. I gotta tell you.
(08:18):
That would be me or you Mary or not marrying whatever,
dating somebody who will be born in the next five
to ten years.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
Born.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Funny, It's very funny. It's very funny. It's like that
Saturday One great skit they did for Saturday Night Live.
Do you remember this buck was meet your second wife,
and like all the guys are standing there and the
girls are walking out, and like the girl is like
six years old. It's like the guy's like forty and
(08:49):
they're and then like this woman walks out and uh
and I think it's the uh uh uh the character
standing there waiting and he's like, oh, the girl's like,
I don't know, twenty five or thirties. It's like, hey,
that's not so bad. And then the woman says she's pregnant.
It's like, so that is a really funny skit that
Saturday Night Live did a few years ago. I'm glad
(09:12):
that I've got three boys. You now have a son.
If I had a daughter and she brought home a
man that she was dating that was older than me,
I would lose it. I just as much as you
might focus on the girl being like fifty years younger
and that's weird that she's interrupting the interview and all
(09:33):
these things. Imagine what it's like at Thanksgiving when you
open the door and legendary Super Bowl winning head coach
Bill Belichick, who probably is a decade or fifteen years
older than you, is dating your baby girl. I think
it would be really hard to have Thanksgiving dinner. I
(09:55):
just and I don't understand where this relationship goes because
to your point, if they were let's say it's true love. Okay,
let's say that she is head over heels in love
with seventy four year old Bill Belichick. We're giving we're
giving a lot of leeway here, but God, I am
saying Cupid's arrow has struck her in the heart and
she cannot cannot find another man that she loves more
(10:18):
seventy four year old Bill Belichick. In a decade, Belichick
is going to be eighty four and she's going to
be thirty four. Basically, where does this math make sense
going forward? Right?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Like?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Most men don't live to be eighty four. Where does
this go right?
Speaker 7 (10:39):
Like?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I don't really understand that it's a simple math equation
that I find it hard to even on your point,
like fifty year old twenty five year old Okay, they're
probably not going to have a fifty year marriage, right
Unlikely he's going to live to be one hundred and
she's going to be seventy five, at which point, you know, whatever,
good for them, But you could still be married twenty
five or thirty years, which is a long time, and
(11:01):
in twenty five or thirty years you could have a
pretty good life for each with each other. Well, I
mean also fifty or oh. This is a whole thing.
And I think a lot of you listening are living
this and know this already without us saying it. But
people in their fifties and sixties today are active, healthy
and able to enjoy their lives much more frequently. You know,
(11:22):
at that level then you you know, they look like
people who are thirty or forty not too long ago.
I mean, the point of this changing, and everything has
changed a lot, is just that we're being very generous
and saying twenty five or thirty years. Like you may
not like it, but we're at least saying okay. At
some point your eyebrows raised. I'm not sure where the
(11:44):
number is. Fifty is one? This is what I was
getting at, is that I'll give you twenty five or thirty.
It's like, you know, hey, you know true, A lot
of people would rip us for saying we're giving you
twenty five or thirty. I think we're being super kind.
It wouldn't be my choice, okay, like I would not
have gone that route. I think that having somebody who
is in a similar stage of life to you, you know,
(12:09):
I think my my personal belief, not really. I think
anything within ten years is sort of standard operating, at
least in New York City. It is standard operating procedure.
So most guys who get married that I know are
let's say, thirty five, and their wives are twenty eight,
twenty nine, thirty, you know, I mean like that, that's
the that's the standard. The guy's usually a little bit older.
(12:29):
You're actually you're younger than your wife, right, which is
unusual among friends of mine. I don't know if I
know anybody else. I actually my friend Eric, who you met,
Eric Wynn, the Watch guy, I think his wife is
a year or two older than him. But you know,
generally speaking, you know, within five My wife is two
years older than me and looks twenty years younger. Did
I tell you this? Fucking We were at a football
game with my kids at the Tennessee Alabama game. My
(12:53):
wife went to the bathroom and the woman behind me said,
your daughter is lovely nice, which I told Laura and
I would like baby be a little bit nervous. She's
actually two years older than me, living so much better
than me, that she looks twenty years younger that that woman,
because I had my kids are sons. That the woman
(13:14):
behind me, who is probably I don't know, fifteen years
older than me, said, your daughter looks lovely. So my wife,
who was older than me and has birth three sons,
including one who is seventeen, the lady behind me thought
that she was like a college age girl going to
the bathroom. By the way, producer Ali eight years older
than Gerard. So on the show, there you go. I'm
(13:34):
just saying, I think, and I know this is maybe
different in different you know, cultural enclaves of the country.
I think anything within ten years is totally standard operating
procedure like that doesn't even I think, you know, you
get up to twenty years plus age difference. Okay, you
know it's again not my thing, but like you know,
true love is blind, right, like people do their thing.
(13:54):
Fifty years is weird. This is where we're drawing. This
is where we're drawing the line, fifty years age difference.
It's again, it's legal, it's lawful, that's fine, but it's
it's weird. There's something weird going on. Very weird. We
agree on that. We'll take your reactions. By the way
that the trio of crazy coming out of the weekend,
maybe we should start to make that a trend where
(14:16):
the craziest things that happen because it feels like over
the weekend nowadays, there are definitely several different things that
happen that are crazy. Look leaf blowers, They're everywhere, these
guys driving me crazy. Frankly, anyone using a leaf blower
early in the morning should be, I think committed. You
shouldn't be allowed to start a leaf blower early in
the morning anywhere in this country. Unbelievably, everybody's got leaf

the lines are lit. Yes, the beehive has been I
don't think that has been kicked. We've just let the
beehive buzz talk about something that people feel passionately about,
age differences between married couples and Becky and North Carolina. Becky,
(16:06):
I am told by our team that you have celebrated
twenty seven years of marriage with a husband with whom
you have a thirty one year age gap. Congratulations, how's
it all going? What do you think? Hi?
Speaker 5 (16:22):
It's great and actually we're not at twenty seven yet.
We're coming up on the twenty seventh anniversary.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Okay, married event.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
We were married in nineteen ninety eight. I was twenty six,
my husband, and actually I took him last month for
his birthday on a cruise and he just turned in March.
He just turned eighty four, and I'm fifty two. And
we have God gave them to us. We have birth
I birthed our two sons once twenty three. One's twenty
(16:52):
and my husband was sixty when our firstborn was son,
and sixty three when the second one was born. And
so yeah, we've been married almost twenty seven years and
we are thirty one and a half years apart in age.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And it's great, all right, thirty one and a half
years apart in age. What would be a number to
you that you would look at and say that's too
big of an age gap?
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Pretty two?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Okay. I love the answer. I like the answer. This
is actually a really funny. How did you meet?
Speaker 5 (17:25):
Well, we met actually I was nineteen. We didn't get
married till I was twenty six. We met I was
an X ray student and I was rotating through the
hospital where he's a physician. He was a radiologist.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
That's what he did. Doctor nurse, doctor nurse. Situation very nice.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
No, no, no, no, I wasn't a nurse. I was
an X ray technologist.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
I took oh, okay, and he read me yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
And so after a number of years we became friends
right off. And after a number of years I realized, well,
he's making like fifteen times my salary. I've ever marry
him and get in on this money.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
No, he he is a shrewd. A shrewd lady. Congrats
on all your happy marriage, Beck. You appreciate your calling in.
We'll take if anyone has more than thirty years of
an age GAF, I want them to call in because
thirty right now, for thirty one is the is the
current reigning champ of our audience. When you think of Israel,
you think of its history, you think of innovation and
its ability to defend itself. If you don't think that
(18:20):
everyone knows where the nearest bomb shelter is or has
a plan to stay in contact with loved ones in
the event of a missile attack, it is still anything
but normal over there, and they need their friends and
allies around the world to stand with Israel. That's why
we partner with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews
to help provide life saving aid and security essentials. Your
urgently needed gift today will go toward bomb shelters, black jackets,
(18:40):
bulletproof vests, armored security vehicles, ambulances and more. Your gift
will also help feed the elderly who are cut off
from resources. Please call to make your gift today to
the IFCJ eighty eight four eight eight four three two five.

SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. Welcome back in play Travis Buck Sexton show,
(19:01):
I feel like an auctioneer after Buck asked, what was
the thirty one years Becky was younger than her husband
and they now have two year after two? Do we
have thirty five, thirty five, thirty five year age grap
Do we have forty forty age gap? Forty years married
age gap? Forty What is the biggest age gap currently
existing marriage of anyone listening right now? You can't have
(19:25):
gotten married and then gotten divorced like a year later
and you were, you know, seventy to twenty five, uh
eight hundred and two two two eight A two. Can
anybody beat Becky who was listening right now? In the meantime,
I'm about to blow Buck's mind here with this montage
that producer Greg put together. So Shador Sanders, quarterback Colorado,
(19:46):
son of the legendary defensive back Dion Sanders, who is
currently the head football coach at Colorado, he was not
drafted until the fifth round. President Trump weighed in. It
became a huge story over the week end, and many
different sports media decided there was only one thing that
could be going on. It was racism. Now, Buck, the
(20:10):
top two quarterbacks drafted in twenty twenty four, Black, the
top three quarterbacks drafted twenty twenty three, Black, the top
quarterback drafted over the weekend. Black. Yet the sports media
had to let you know the only explanation for why
Shador Sanders wasn't being drafted was racism. Listen, there's a
(20:35):
lot of.
Speaker 8 (20:35):
People out there who are saying that, you know, he
needed to be humble, should have sayers didn't need to
be humble, He's already humbled. His confidence should not shake
you or make you uncomfortable. They hate to see confident
you black, and you confident you know where you come from.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
You know who you are, you know what you can do,
and you don't need.
Speaker 9 (20:54):
Nobody to patch you on the back to give you
the confidence.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
They hated universally recognize one of the top three quarters
in the country answering this draft, and thirty two teams
passed on them, not once, not twice, not three times.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
But four different times they passed on them. How the
hell has that happen?
Speaker 6 (21:10):
So, if it's not football, what is it? Are there
racial undertones here? Racist undertones? But it just stinks. It
smells of racist undertones of too many white people in
charge in this league. It's the way Shador dresses, It's
the way he talks and his culture.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
You see him at the draft.
Speaker 6 (21:35):
He's wearing all black, he got the ill chain on,
and he talks like a rap buck.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
This is sports media losing its mind racism. Black men
are not being treated fairly in the NFL, which, by
the way, over half black. I have, yeah, I have,
I have a question. Wasn't Stephen A. Smith one of
the voices that I heard of that montage? The voices?
Let me make sure that I get this right. The voices, Uh,
(22:05):
Steven A. Smith? Yes, one of the voices Skip Bayless,
former representative Jamal Bowman in New York who lost his job,
NFL quarterback, former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin the Third, and
NBA basketball player Steven Jackson. I have to I have
to weave here for a second and into a into
his side a side story. Jamal Bowman good on TikTok,
(22:29):
bad on fire alarms. He's good on TikTok. Yes, he
was the only guy who wanted to keep TikTok alive.
Like good as in he's good. Only I thought he
meant that he was. He had the same opinion that
agreed agree with him on TikTok, disagree with him on
pulling fire alarms. But back to so you know, nobody
(22:53):
wins them all. Back to this story. I need help
here because this this is always a thing when Clay
this is it's kind of a funny litss test. Actually,
when a story has become news not sports news. If
Clay can say to me, have you heard and I'm like, yes,
this schedure fellow, I saw something about this in the headlines.
He's like, Okay, it's crossed over to if it's on
(23:13):
buck radar, that means it's no longer a sports story.
It's just story story, right, Caroline love it? I think
do we have the audio? Caroline was asked about it
this morning by Peter Doocey. Do we have that audio?
Do we added? I think we did? Yeah? Play seven
listen to this Buck.
Speaker 10 (23:29):
After the President's truth social host, the Browns finally took Sanders.
Does the President think he deserves credit for Sanders getting pitched?
And does he think going to the Browns is better
than being undrafted?
Speaker 11 (23:42):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
All I will say is the President put out a
statement and a few rounds later he was drafted.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
So I think the facts speak for themselves on that one.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Peter, all right, So, by the way, Deucey with a
total shot for everybody listening in Cleveland, he said, is
going to the Browns better than being undrafted? H the
Browns historically, Yeah, not a great franchise, Buck in terms
of on field success. So Doocey off the top rope
(24:13):
there from the White House press briefing. Okay, question is
some of the things that I picked up here and
I just I just know this is a big story.
And as we heard the montage and sounds like Stephen
A is also somebody who is coming forward to say
that there was some racial angle. Yes, right, he's yeah,
he did. The guy who was the first round draft
(24:34):
pick in the entire thing. I watched not a second
of this. Yes, I can't turned it on when I
was number one overall pick, black quarterback, black quarterback. Okay,
so that to me, that to me is a kind
of a big symbol, a big indicator that there's not
a problem with taking a black quarterback number one in
the draft. And in fact, as you said, NFL is
(24:55):
half black. So I don't think anyone thinks there aren't
enough black guys in the NFL. And that's the case.
The only question is he universally considered a top three quarterback?
Is that that was also a thing that I heard?
Is that also accurate? Because that's this is I'm gonna
take you in. I'm gonna take you in. And we
got some great callers, by the way, with huge gaps
(25:17):
on their age. We'll get to those in a sec.
But the NFL Draft is now the second most popular
basically sporting event in the country. Number one is the NFL.
Number two is the draft for the NFL. Maybe you
could argue, let me just take a step back. College
(25:37):
football is number two. The NFL draft is number three.
I would rather watch high level chess I have. I
do not understand how this is interesting to people. I'm sorry,
call me a weirdo. Okay, but I think I'm not
the only one who doesn't care to watch the draft
out there. The draft buck is more popular than the
actual NBA playoffs and the actual NHL playoffs combined. That
(26:03):
is the actual competition. If you look at the average
game in the NBA playoffs and the NHL playoffs and
you combine them, it's less popular ratings wise than the
NFL draft. Everybody does mock drafts. That's a huge part
of the draft season. Everybody projects who's going to draft
and everything else. So what's really amazing about this is
all of the Shador Sanders hype was entirely based on
(26:28):
what people thought would occur, based on the fake mock
drafts that they did not based on any actual tangible Hey,
we know what this team's draft board looks like. So
that is the That is the background there. Now we
got some incredible calls. I think, let me hit this, Walter,
(26:50):
you have been married for thirteen years. You say you
are sixty nine years old. Your wife is thirty two,
so you are thirty seven years older than your wife. Yes, sir,
all right, so you've been married for thirty say Walter,
currently reigning champion. Okay, fuck up, let me make sure
(27:12):
I got this math right. Walter, you were fifty six
and you married a nineteen year old.
Speaker 9 (27:19):
She was actually she was actually just turned twenty board
looks like just turned twenty one when I met her.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I mean, just turn twenty one when you met How
did you meet your wife? Who is this much different
in age than you? Thirty seven years younger?
Speaker 9 (27:35):
Okay, whichever one of you worked for the CIA loved this.
My son works for the CIA, and his wife and
him often had Filipino maids, and they said, if you're
gonna get remarried, you need to go to the Philippines.
They love Americans, they love everything about Americans. And that's
what I did. I got online, met a Filipino and
(27:56):
I went and saw her. Took about a year for
her to come to the United States on a K
one visa passport whatever, and we got married thirty days later.
And you, guys, I can tell you what the limit
should be.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
What's the limit.
Speaker 9 (28:13):
It should be. The limit should be when you can't
perform normal marital issues, and one of those is having children.
I have three children with her. She blessed me at
sixty years old. With my last child, I got cut
after that. I have five children that are all older
than her.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
So you have I like, how how can I say?
I like how we're we're like all in the trust
tree here. It's just the three of us and about
three million people listening, and we're just you know, we're
just laying it out there. So you have eight total kids, yes, sir,
and you had your oldest sorry you were how old
when your youngest was born?
Speaker 9 (28:52):
My sixty?
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Okay, Well, thank you for the call. I'm glad it's
going well there. The marriage has been great, iyes. It
sounds like it's worked out really well for you, and
we love hearing about happy marriage.
Speaker 9 (29:03):
It has been. But you know, everybody has their their
things that are important to them. You know, I don't
know what's important to Belichick's wife.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
But friend, well, this is a great to be clear, sir,
this is a this is a you know, like an
Instagram girlfriend kind of a thing. Yeah, they're not there's
no kids no marriage here, So just putting that out there.
We've got thank you, We've got two more. This one
is kind of an upset. I just want to be
Is he the reigning champion at what was that? Thirty
thirty seven years? Yes? And then we've got multiple people
(29:34):
with thirty year age gaps. Let's see, Alan, she is thirty,
she's twenty three. That's nothing, you're a twenty twenty. Some
of those are rookie numbers. We've got to get those teams.
You got to do better than that. Alan Craig and Florida, Florida,
a lot of Florida man. Uh Craig thirty four years
older than his wife. Craig, How old were you when
(29:55):
you got married?
Speaker 7 (29:58):
Let's see, Well, I'm seventy now, so it was what
about fifty seven? Fifty eight?
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Okay? And your wife was how old when you married her?
Speaker 7 (30:08):
How old were you? Honey, she's listening on the radio
and she's hiding, she's duck her head, she's doctor head. Well,
I'm thirty four and a half years older than her.
She just turned thirty six.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
So how did you meet? So you're seventy basically, and
she's mid thirties. How did you meet.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
I was a professor at a college and she was
one of my students.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Oh there we go. Goodness, all right, there we go.
She better stay hidden. I won't ask you, Clay. You know,
some ladies just can't resist a guy in a tweet
jacket with elbow patches. You know, that's just the way.
Do you guys have kids? Craig? Okay? And then you
got Melanie in Houston has called in. This is the
first woman. She is thirty two years younger than her husband. Melanie,
(30:58):
how are you.
Speaker 11 (31:00):
I'm doing great. It's good to talk to you.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
So you are the woman who has had the we
had Becky call in thirty one and a half. You
are thirty two years age difference. How old were you
when you got married?
Speaker 11 (31:11):
I was forty one.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Oh okay, well see like this and now I'm gonna
like so you're I also think that the age I
think once you once you hit forty, it's like you're
a fully like the potato is fully baked. You know
what I mean? You are who you are, and so
that doesn't you know, So I think that that's interesting that,
you know, it's more when we get the people that
are like nineteen marrying a fifty year old that I
(31:35):
think there's a generational gap that exists there. You know,
that's that's pretty prominent. That's really what you want to say. Though.
Speaker 11 (31:43):
He served twenty four years in the Air Force, and
he was an incredible man, just a great American. We
met while volunteering for local rodeo, Pasadena, Texas Rodeo, and.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
He just.
Speaker 11 (32:01):
Just his personality was overwhelming. He was so kind, he
was so sweet. He treated my two children like they
were his own. He had four grown boys, all older
than me. They never accepted me, they never liked me.
I took care of him actually in our home until
the day that he passed from cancer, and I just
(32:25):
I was very blessed. And everyone everyone whose life he touched,
his name was Billy Graham, just like the preacher. Everyone
who he touched was blessed.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Well, thanks, thank you so much. And it's a we
love hearing these lovely stories about marriages that work out
and uh and go a very long ways in terms
of the duration. We'll come back. We'll do uh some
more of some more of these calls. For sure. This
has been this has been very very illuminating, very interesting
for sure.
Speaker 9 (32:54):
No doubt.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
You know what else is illuminating and interesting. The NFL
Draft is over, but the NBA playoffs and the NHL
Playoffs are still underway, as well as Major League Baseball.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Buck podcast feed. Find it on the iHeartRadio app or
wherever you get your podcasts. We're gonna be closing up
shop here momentarily. We're having some fun in the third
hour talking about the Bill Belichick. It's fifty right, like
a fifty year age gap. Yeah, he's seventy four, I believe,
or seventy two and she's twenty four, forty eight years.
(34:06):
I guess that's the biggest age gap I have heard of, certainly,
you know, since the Anna Nicole Smith era. Uh so,
that's the biggest age gap I've ever heard of. We're
wondering with the biggest age gap. Wasn't this age gap
was in this audience? I didn't tell you right now,
those of you who write writing and are calling in,
we appreciate it. I hope you have a great marriage,
lots of kids, beautiful lives, twenty twenty year age gap,
(34:27):
that's that's rookie numbers. That's rookie numbers. These days. Here
we've are We got a whole slew of thirty plus
that are calling in right in. So it is not
as unusual as some may think to have people married
and seemingly happily. We certainly hope that is the case
for all of our listeners. You have a great, happy marriage,
But thirty year age gaps of plenty in this audience,
(34:48):
which is which is pretty fun. Pretty funny. But before
I get into that, speaking of happy marriages, Clay, my
understanding is that there was quite a fiesta at Casa
Clay Travis over the weekend. Are we allowed to talk
about this or we banned? Laura may want to come
on tomorrow because it's very end of the show. My wife,
(35:09):
every year in the neighborhood they have a yard sale. Sixties,
she says, houses had yard sales. They do it one
time a year in the neighborhood. Every year I ask
why we are doing a yard sale, and every year
I am shouted down as a imbecile for asking this question.
(35:32):
So I don't understand it. I don't know very many
men out there that are huge yard sale people. Maybe
there are tons of you out there right now. They're like,
you know what, I would love to spend the weekend
doing yard sales. Women are obsessed with yard sales. Buck.
It is the craziest thing I've ever seen. They start
showing up at the crack of dawn. There are very
(35:55):
few things I would wake up for at the crack
of dawn on a weekend. And the entire house was
swarmed with people buying stuff at our house, and I
just I mean, I don't get it. I don't understand
why women love yard sales. Were there some ThunderCats pillowcases?
(36:16):
As I asked, I mean, what are we talking about?
Maybe some some Ghostbusters costumes? The boys are getting older,
so lots of costumes, lots of Batman sheets? You wanted ThunderCats?
It is can? I mean, let's be honest, Clay is
is a is a T shirt that is old and
worn in but worn by OutKick founder Clay Travis? Is
(36:38):
that a selling point? Is it like you know, like
the water that a saint has bathed in or something?
Or how do you know what? You know what? The
one calamity is I need to apologize. Dana Perino's autographed
book that she had just sent to me accidentally got
so old. Man. We got to track it down. We
got to track down Dana Perino's book. It ended up
(36:59):
getting bought
