Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Third hour of Clay and Bak and you never know
what the day is going to bring on this show.
Clay Travis just a few minutes ago kicked off flute gate,
throwing this member of the woodwind family on the under
the bus all across America flute players piccolo players.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Which is really like a tiny even know what the
piccolo is.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
See look at that no respect for this member of
the woodwind family known as the flute.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Clay is not a floutist.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
And we have flute players all across America telling us
that they want to have their word with mister Clay.
So we will get to that in a little bit.
I just wanted to say Clay decided to light that.
This is a theme on this show. Sometimes I'm looking
one way and someone goes, hey, is that Clay with
an M eight And by the time around it's already
(01:01):
lit and about to go off. I'm like, good heavens,
what's happening here? And there's Clay just gleeful grin on
his face as the m ad explodes.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I'm just I'm just picturing Buck like the flute, big
flute community, instead of showing up outside the Supreme instead
of showing up outside the Supreme Court justices the protest.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
You don't understand.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
They're not gonna they're gonna be in your front lawn
all playing flute.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
What is what is the most annoying song that that
a flute player could play in?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Like on Moss Like you're.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
The big, big flute, green sleeves might be up there
for some people, that's a classic flute.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
There's there's some songs they taught us bucking elementary school.
We had the flute. Did you have a xylophone when
you were in elementary school? Did? Did you have to
purchase a xylophone? Sure, yes we had. This is one
of the most ridiculous. I'm very flute. I may be
even more anti xylophone. We had buck an entire it's
(02:06):
funny to think about now because I'm a parent. We
had an entire Christmas special when I was in elementary
school where everyone set on the stage with our xylophones
in front of us, and we played Christmas songs with
those little wooden mallets on those.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Ridiculous I'm going to share something with you that it's
just this is just between us.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Okay, this is just between us.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
At my school, we actually had a class at one
point called bells and you would have to put the
ones that you.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Hold, yes, yes, and we.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Put on white gloves to hold our bells, and then
this is for the Christmas carols and stuff and we
would sit there. This was a class. It was like
a trimester class. It was only a few months, but
we all learned to swing our bell at the right
moment with the white gloves on.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
That is unbelievable and I think about it now as
a parent. There are so many things that we did
and like, I can't imagine now showing up to watch
one of my own kids play, not seeing play the xylophone,
sitting on the stage Christmas music.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
The other thing buck that we did. Did you do
that your schools might have been too good for this.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Our fundraiser was they gave us boxes of chocolates and
we were just supposed to walk around and sell chocolate bars.
And it's like slave labor. It's like the world that
stuff still exists.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
We did a walkathon where we were like, hey, we're
gonna go walk around New York city give us money.
So no, we were not above a little bit of
the fundraiser.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
We have chocolate candy carrying cases.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I'm talking about like eight years old, and it's basically
slave labor. You're walking around trying to sell this world's
finest chocolate. It's just a freaking chocolate bar. I don't
understand how many of the decisions that we were allowed
to undertake in the nineteen eighties were considered totally normal.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
And I'll also tell you one thing that got rid
of at my school that I thought was was really
good and and I don't know how many other schools
had this. We had required for phizz ed wrestling as
a class. And not only do we have do we
have required wrestling. There was a tournament that everybody had
to You had to be in the tournament the whole school,
(04:30):
well from like like the Royal Rumble, from fourth to
eighth grade, so it was by grade year and it
was by weight class. But at the end of it,
you would actually end up wrestling someone in front of
the entire school from great everybody else. And and I'm
gonna tell you once once you've had someone like pile
driving your face into the mat in front of five
(04:52):
hundred of your of your of your buddies. You know,
it's a it's a good uh, it's a good analogy
for life.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
But also you want to learn how to handle yourself
a little bit. And having that.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
People think you know that, oh like if someone like
pushes me, I'm just gonna like turn into a superhero. No,
what actually happens is your heart starts beating out of
your chest and you start getting scared and then you're
you know, you have to figure out are you gonna
do something or you're just gonna get bumbled.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
That's what actually happens.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
All right, I'm gonna blow your mind here, buck, because
I couldn't believe this. My father in law, who grew
up in Michigan in the Detroit area, went to public school.
They taught them swimming. Okay, they had a swimming pool
at like the public school that he went to. They
were all nude for swim class. In like the nineteen
(05:41):
fifties in Michigan, you would go to learn how to swim,
and every if he's pranking me. And I've mentioned this
before and other people who were like around that age
are like, yeah, you know, we learned how to swim.
At public school too, everybody was naked. Can you believe
that that happened? I mean, I'm not talking about happened
(06:02):
in like the eighteen forties, like they taught them how
to swim. Nobody wore swimsuits. All the boys were and
they were not with the girls.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Elite men's athletic clubs and and sort of social clubs
and you know, elite and quotes whatever. But in New
York for a long time that were all male. And yeah,
a lot of them had to go co ed because
there were lawsuits because of business that was being conducted,
and women were excluded from this anyway. But when they
were all male, people are gonna think that I'm and
by the way, the famous ones that some of you
(06:32):
know of the New York area, this people swam in
the pools naked and they just sort of make them
what years, Like, I mean, this happened when I was
that this happened when when you were a kid, like the.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Nineteen eighties, we.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
You know, we would wear but like there were like
really old dudes would splash around in their naked Yes,
the kids would wear bathing suits.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I mean I couldn't of all the stories that I've
heard about kids going to school. I couldn't like the
fact that everybody would just show up naked and get
taught how to swim at public school.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Bonkers to me how they did it's I mean, it's
it is.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I agree that it's a bit of a it's jarring
if they had the Olympics naked back in angel Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I know that back in Greece, in the ancient in
the ancient days.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
This show just took a really weird turn. Clay, what
have you done today? Security threat? All right, just talking
about naked.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Swimming and the russiare gonna blow us up in space?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Yeah, all right, here we go. Okay, everybody recentering here.
Blame play for this one, and flute players send us,
send us your most fiery emails. How's intel chairs cryptic
warning about serious national security threat prompts officials to urge calm.
You know what I thought was most interesting about this
not the fact that there's some vague.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
We have a very serious national security threat.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Uh and you know, no specifics beyond that, right, I mean,
this reminds me if you remember after nine to eleven
there was the oh, the threat level.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Is orange oh yeah, the color.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yes, everybody was like, what you know, because they would
go to a yellow threat level and it'll right, it
was idiotic, but people were scared, and when people are scared,
they're susceptible to bad ideas, and people in power use
that fear to push bad ideas and increase their power. Anyway,
they pushed this national security warning, and here is Jake Sullivan,
(08:22):
the national security advisor. I mean this guy, the notion
of this guy inspiring any confidence about security. I wouldn't
feel good if Jake Sullivan was in charge of my
neighborhood watch. But he's a national security advisor.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Here he is. This has cut five play it.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
House Intelligence chair speaking out about a serious.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
National security threat. The lack of your ability to say
anything has.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
The potential to raise distress for some Americans. In the
simplest of terms, can you tell Americans that there's nothing
they have to worry about right now in terms of
what he describes as a national security threat? Look, I
think in a way that question is impossible to answer
with this straight yes, right, because Americans understand that.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
There are a range of threats and challenges in the
world that we're dealing with. Every single day, and those
threats and challenges range from terrorism to state actors, and
we have to contend with them, and we have to
contend with them in a way where we ensure the
ultimate security of the American people.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
So Buck, My thing on this is.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
It's awfully convenient how there's sudden, deep threats to national
security that emerge when there's one hundred billion dollars that
you have to vote on to protect Ukraine, Taiwan, and
Israel or you're an American. And when this story came
out yesterday afternoon, what I sort of heard in the
(09:48):
response was everybody just sort of rolled their eyes. And
I think this is emblematic of a deep and abiding
lab lack of faith in institutions that exists.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
In America right now.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
And I think a lot of it is the legacy
of COVID, where they told us all these things that
made us look ridiculous and did not protect us at all.
And now I was already and I think you were
naturally this way too. I'm skeptical, skeptical of authority in general.
If you tell me, hey, you must do this, my
(10:25):
eyebrows get raised automatically.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I think it actually will tell everyon.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I will tell everyone when you tell Clay not to
do something, just like in the N eighty analogy, he's
letting that ad.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
So, yeah, I'm more likely when I'm told not that
I can't do something, I'm more likely to want to
do it than if you let me make my own choice.
And so, but what I've seen overwhelmingly from this buck
is a lot of people are like, you know what,
I just I don't really believe it, And the timing
is suspect, and I feel like you're lying to me and.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Everybody that's.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Everyone looked skyward when this came out there. I did
not sense, you know. And I'm trying to you know,
online you're reading between the lines and trying to figure
out what the consensus perception may be. It's imperfect, obviously,
but we live in this world and you can do
it pretty well if you're constantly paying attention to what
everyone's saying. I sensed no anxiety at all. I sensed
(11:21):
a near universal give me a break. Yeah, everyone say
think about this. You have the top of the national
security apparatus in the United States saying.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
There's a really scary threat. You gotta be scared. But
you got to keep your composure, and everyone says, shut up.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
And that's where we are now, and I think it's
where we are because of the failures of the so
called foreign policy and national security intelligentsia. The sense of
an increasingly part is in FBI, CIA, and you know,
those are really the gold standard agencies within that, within
the intelligence sphere. But you know, that's something that people
(11:58):
are very aware of now. And there's there's a general
just unwillingness to be led around anymore by these clowns,
which which I think, in for the most part, is
a good thing. Right that The problem is there could
be something that's real one day, and not only do
we have clowns in charge, we have people who will
(12:18):
assume the clowns are honking their noses again, you know
what I mean, they're not.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
We're not going to take it as seriously as we should.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
And the one thing that's a bit alarming about that
buck is it is the boy who cries wolf scenario.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Right.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
At some point in time, there is going to be
something where we're going to need to know that there
is a danger and it's going to make sense to
respond to it. The problem is we've been lied to
and gas lit to such an extravagant degree that I
think many people I would put myself in this category,
(12:53):
are not going to believe threats that are actually serious
in nature because all of the lies of posed up
and there isn't a reason to trust the people in
positions of authority. And I don't know how that gets rebuilt.
I think Buck, probably you and I are too young
to remember this. I think some of our listeners will
recall it. The legacy of Vietnam was a profound distrust
(13:15):
in this country, and I think after nine to eleven
people were pretty trusting in the United States. I think
people genuinely thought, Hey, everybody's trying to do the best
thing that they can. And now I don't know how
that gets rebuilt. It might take a generation, might take longer.
Eight hundred two two eight a two. The first sound
(13:37):
and on bord child makes comes from their heart. A
child is not even a month into its existence, still
in the womb, before we can hear the baby's heartbeat.
At five weeks into its life, that heart is big
enough loud enough to be captured on ultrasound. That's where
preborn steps in. The nonprofit organization that helped pregnant mothers
contending with the decision of abortion or life for their child.
(13:58):
Because of the kind of work they do, and by
providing a free ultrasound in the process, they're able to
rescue two hundred babies every day from abortion. Simply by
providing a mother with that free ultrasound, Hearing her child's
heartbeat and seeing their perfectly formed body in the womb
so often makes a difference and pushes that mother toward
the decision to give the baby life, give her child life.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
That gives life to her child, and also in so
many ways, saves the life of that mother because she
won't live with the trauma of a decision that she
wishes she could take back for.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
The rest of her life.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
You can be a critical part of this process because
the only funding for preborn comes from you, the pro
life community, people like you and me giving their money
to save lives. For just twenty eight dollars, which will
sponsor an ultrasound, you could be the difference between a
life or death of a baby. And I know so
many of you can spare twenty eight dollars. Think about that,
(14:54):
twenty eight dollars and it's going right to giving a
mother who is in crisis and ultrasound that will encourage
her just because of her own decision making and her
own connection to that child, encourage her to have a
baby that she might not have otherwise. And someone out
there I think listening to this right now would be
able to donate more. Can you consider a leadership gift
(15:18):
five thousand dollars ten thousand dollars. I know times are
tough right now, but we have people in the pro
life community who could write that check and not think
twice about it. It's one hundred percent tax deductible, and
you'd sponsor Preborn's network for a day, two days, maybe
even a week, depends on how much you can give.
Consider a leadership gift of five thousand dollars or even
(15:40):
ten thousand dollars. Donating is very easy. Use your cell
phone dial pound two fifty and say the keyword baby.
That's pound two five zero, say baby, or donate securely
at preborn dot com, slash buck that's preborn dot com,
slash buc k. Preborn has a one hundred percent charity ratings.
You can give with confidence sponsored by Preboard twenty.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Four on You podcast from Clay and Fuck covering all
Things Election.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Episodes drop Sundays at noon Eastern.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Find it on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcast. The Big Flute community is outraged over
my assertion that people who play flutes are losers.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
It is the loserist of all the instruments. I looked
at it.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I was just like, maybe I'm being unkind to flutes,
and I want to make it clear that I apologize
for absolutely nothing. I looked it up. I'm not even
sure what the second closest loser instrument is.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
There. You got that guy like you basically, especially if
you're a man.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Maybe I'll go differently about your over harp as a
really well, the harp wasn't on my list of available instruments.
Score one for team flute out there. I do, buddy,
do men play harps? I think the harp is only
plagued by like virginal women, right like I think once
you sleep with a man, you're not allowed to play
(17:00):
the harp anymore. That's the rule on the harp. I
look at the flute and I think to myself, you
have decided to become an expert on holding basically a
penis shaped object in your hand and blowing into holes
on it all day long.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
This is not something that I choose to do. More
power to you.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
By the way, we got an emails of Clay. We
have got nothing but emails Clay. Clay's This side of
the third hour of the show today is going to
be devoted to naked swimming policies and flute players.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Clay.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
This is from Paul vip email. I am a professional
flute player in South Florida. See when I hear that,
I just think like you're a male escort. That's what
I think when I read that sentence. Just wanted to
say gay mail or escort. By the way, just wanted
to say, guys who play the flute are serious chick magnets.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Ps. You guys are great. I love listening every day.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
No woman has ever said, when she's seen a guy
play in the floor, I got to sleep with that guy.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
That has never happened in the history of mankind? Is
this me? What am I talking about? Tunnel the towers.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Look, we want to make sure that we do some
good in the world, because God knows, we say a
lot of things that aren't necessarily amazing on the show.
On a day to day basis, and our friends at
Tunnel to Towers they actually make a tremendous difference in
the world. They will make sure that they take care
of so many people out there that gave their lives.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
To try and make you safe.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
And what Tunnel the Towers is doing right now is
they are helping to make sure that younger generations know
all about nine to eleven. You know, it's been what
are we sitting at twenty three years? There are kids
graduating from college now who know nothing about nine to eleven.
The Tunnel the Towers Nine to eleven Institute is righting
that wrong, making sure that we never forget what happened
on that day. You can join both of us in
(18:54):
donating eleven dollars a month to Tunnel the Towers at
T two t dot org.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
That's Tea, the number two T dot org.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Floodgates are open. Do we have calls to the emails
are flying in at a pace that is dizzying. Right now,
we have patriotic flute players across America, and I neither
confer nor deny. I mean, it's probably a woodwind instrument.
I can tell you that, but I'm not I'm not
telling anyone one way or the other what instrument I
(19:24):
grew up playing. I'm just gonna say right now, though, Clay,
the flute players of America, they're gonna come find you,
my friend. And then we've also got a lot of
people who grew up swimming. What oh natural?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
You know swimming?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Tons of people are email let me read some of
these for you.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Buck.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
By the way, poor Ali, she just said, I'm on
taking phone calls. It's all people talking about naked swimming
and gym class like, this is the thing that I.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I think if you are did you have any idea
this happened?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Would you have believed that public school in like the
sixties and seventies men learned how to swim naked?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
I would have. I thought I would being change you
change in the locker rooms, nake as long as it's not. Yeah,
there's a big.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Difference between being buck asked naked in the swimming pool
with one hundred other dudes and wearing changing and putting.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
On a swim question. When did buck naked become a thing?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Because I got to tell you, wasn't easy growing up,
Like what does a buck buck have to do with
big naked.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
This is medium matters. That's a good question. I don't
know buck nake.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Someone when you know, why is it like John naked?
It's buck naked. It makes no sense to me. I
don't understand anyway. Uh, I'm gonna start. I'm gonna start
with one. You're catching some fire here from Damon, one
of our VIPs. I suspected Clay would not know what
a piccolo and some other instruments like the obo is. Clay,
those things you played in elementary school were not flutes.
(20:51):
They're called recorders, you silly adolescents.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
So Damon is not.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Hurt by argument that people who like to play flutes
or losers. Because you write in and you're like, you
don't even know what an obo is, I'm gonna be like,
yeah again, I stand by it is there.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
We have millions of listeners.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Is there any woman right now listening to us that
has ever seen a man playing a flute and said,
I'm going home with that guy. There are millions of
listeners right now. You can call the show. You could
confess you saw a man playing the flute, because there's
lots of people out there who saw man playing a guitar,
(21:32):
saw man playing.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Oh yeah, drums, the guy playing the guitar at the
college party. You can never trust your girlfriend next to
that guy, because you know what's coming next. He's gonna
put her name into the song. I wrote this just
for you.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
That's why the guy learned how to play the guitar
for the chicks. Everybody who learned how to play the
drums did it for the chicks. Nobody was like, I'm
gonna take this penis object and blow into it so
amazingly that every move my fingers actively on it, and
every woman in America is gonna want to be with me.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I don't think it's ever happened.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Bob is writing in these are all VIPs writing it.
If gonna be a VIP, go to Clayanbuck dot com,
please sign up subscribe to this show, and Bob writes
in hilarious, I'm crying.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Clay is so right.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I don't know who they are, but I know they're
losers because they play the flute. That is the quote
that he has Linda taking the other.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Side of this.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yike's flute discrimination. For many years and still many of
the top symphony players around the country who play the
flute are men. So Linda is saying, in the classical
music world, clay flute players do get some chicks, but
they're probably the obo players.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
She's just saying that they play it. She did. I
stand by this.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
No woman has ever seen a man playing the flute
and said I'm going home with this guy. You might
have gone home with him despite the fact that he
played the flute. There are women out there right now
married guys who played the flute. They're like, I wish
he didn't play the flute. I wish he played the
guitar or the drums with you.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Oh wait, here we go.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Kendra writes in Clay, the only way to be a
cool flute player is to be a classical flutist, and
for goodness sake, keep the flute out of classic rock songs.
I'm an expert in this as a music teacher, made
my living teaching band in schools, and I'm a saxophone player,
the only really cool instrument there is. And then she
throws me under the bus. I bet you buck is
(23:24):
an obo player or maybe viola. Wow. I didn't play
any instrument in school. I'm tone deaf.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I couldn't even sing in chorse, so I am objective here,
and people who play loser play flutes are losers. That's
the rules, Scott. You could have played the guitar, you
could have played the drums and gotten chicks.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Scott writes, Jump is van Halen's worst song by far.
In fact, if you look it up, you'll see that
that song was a betrayal at the time. Good Van
Helen song include pretty Woman, Dancing in the Streets, running
with the Devil, drop dead Legs.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I disagree.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I think Jump is at the top of the van
Halen pantheon or catalog. I celebrate van Halen's whole catalog,
and uh, I don't I think this this You're throwing
some heat at one of the better songs. But Clay
doesn't know van Halen, so I don't think we can
spend too much time on that one.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I don't know anything music. By the way, swimming emails.
Gonna go for it, Phil says, Lockport, Illinois. All the
boys gym class swimming done in the nude A ridiculous site.
What many of us didn't know was there was an
air vent on the side of the building where curious
girls or others could get a glimpse of us standing
(24:39):
on the side of the pool.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
My immediate thought, I hope the pool was not cold.
I hope that that pool was warm.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
You're having a stand around naked. Remember this Seinfeld episode.
I was in the pool, cold pool. I don't know
this guy. I attended Tapping Junior High Junior High in
ann Arbor, Michigan in the sixties. We regularly did all
male swim classes in the nude. I look back on
this and wonder what pervpedo implemented these policies. Fortunately I
(25:08):
have no complexes from it. I guess that's when I
knew for sure I wasn't gay. We swam naked in
chris We swam naked in high school suburban Chicago in
the seventies.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Not just swimming water polo too. They played games against
each other water polo. This is this is an incredible Yes,
switching gears here.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Mark writes, agreed Buck, the best Van Helen song is
why Can't This Be Love? Sammy Hagar all the Way? Uh,
And Bucky writes and appears that suddenly, overnight Buck has
become an expert on music. He knew who recorded Tainted
Love yesterday and jumped today. That being said, music and
sports are the only two subjects I could beat him
at in a game of trivia. Bucky, I got news
(25:59):
for you. Just sports, buddy.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Just wow, you're throwing down the gauntlet on your music. Man.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
I wouldn't pretend for a second that I could take
Bucky in a in a sports competition, but you'd have
your hands full and the rest of it.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Doug writes in and says that I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
He says bagpipes and the accordion are both worse than
the flute.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
I just bagpipes are pretty badass.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
If people play bagpipes and everyone wants to grab a
claymore and run off the war like I don't. I
don't agree with that you want to like I can't
hear a bagpipe playing without wanting to to have it.
I've never seen a female bagpipe. I've only seen dudes
playing bagpipe. And a guarantee, by the way you tell
a dude playing the bagpipe that it's like not manly,
(26:43):
you are getting a head butt to the face.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Oh he would beat your ass. And and the accordion.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
I know you love Lady in the Tramp the worst
of all the Disney movies, Buck, but one of.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
The the guy who doesn't know music doesn't like the
Disney musical, what a surprise.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Uh. One of the good scenes in UH in the
Tramp is when they have the spaghetti and they run
out and they have the kiss and they're playing the accordion.
I'm very pro accordion. The accordion dunks all over the
flute as well as the bagpipes. I think that Doug
should be a shamed for that time.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
The limits this is, this is not nom there are
rules like there are limits here. I don't know if
you could just throw the accordion is better than the flute,
like no, doesn't even have a place in symphony orchestras
like it helps.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
This is not like nobody wants to be in the
symphony orchestra. You want to be in a nice Italian restaurant.
You want to bring lovers together, you want to aid
in the propagation of the species. Do you want to
have a guy dancing around with a flute or do
you want a guy with an accordion and a nice,
fancy Italian restaurant bringing love together?
Speaker 3 (27:42):
This is not a tough This is not a tough call.
The accordion dominate.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I will say, we grew up in an era and
everybody who's roughly our age, you know, because I'm in
my early forties and Clays in his late sixties.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
So everyone rough.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I love when people write in and tell me I
have to stop being mean about your age, by the way,
it's so fun. But yeah, Clay is three years older
than me, so our ages out there. You all know
that the saxophone in the eighties and nineties, Oh, it
was legitimately a phenomenon. Like you go back and listen
to a lot of the top you listen to, like
(28:16):
top Whitney Houston songs, there are any jessophone solos. I
think the sax is a great instrument. And I know
people associated now with Bill Clinton, He's don catt it
people who are really good sax players.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
I think it's cool.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah, I think there's a sex appeal for the saxophone.
I think women are impressed by the saxophone.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
The character Ron Swanson as Duke Silver was a saxophone player.
So if it's good enough for Ron Swanson from Parks
and rec it's good enough for me.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
It is.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I think you're right, though, Bill, If you ask somebody
right now, I've been in our listening audience. What's the
first thing you think of when you think of a saxophone.
I think a lot of people's answer is Bill Clinton
playing the saxophone on Saturday Night on our Cinio Hall.
That's where it was, right, It was on our Cinio
Hall show back in the day, right, if I remember correctly,
that was the Fox Late Night show and Arcinio did
(29:05):
you ever see Coming to America two? That came out
recently with Arcinio Hall in it, repurprising his role as.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Coming to America. Didn't know that. I didn't even know
they did it. Oh it's pretty, it's decent for as
remakes go. Twenty years later. I think it was on
it was a sequel?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Sorry, sequel, well, I said, part two? Yeah, sorry, Mike's
in my ear like it's a sequel, it's not a remake. Okay, sorry, yes,
Coming to America too. He reprises his role as the
you know, Consigliari or whatever his title was of the
Eddie Murphy.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Character Consolieri because we don't pronounce the G in Italian
and he's the.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
King of Zumunda.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Right, Well, Eddie Murphy is, but but Urcitio Hall is
like his bodymate or whatever you want to call him,
like his chief, his chief protector.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
He's really good. Yeah, he's really good in the in
that one, for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
You have to do read and then we have to
get some of these. We have flute player rage coming
through on the lines right now. I just want to
let you we did cover all the main news today,
so we do have that going for us.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Let me just also mention Ali is saying the saxophone.
We watched The Lost Boys recently. There is a shirtless
saxophone player in the band.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
In the movie The Lost Boys.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
It is the most ripped, good looking saxophone player of
all time. I couldn't stop laughing about it when we
watched it because it's very eighties.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
I think he was like in tight.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Jeans, shirtless, long hair, sunglasses, just killing it on the saxophone.
That is what Ali producer Ali thinks of, not Bill Clinton,
the incredibly good looking nineteen eighty saxophone player from Lost Boys.
So just clearing that up, and I just tell you
my college roommate, true story, was a tuba player, and
he was the first tuba player I ever met.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Did he get chicks? I cannot of.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Concernal de and I no, no, I think he's married
happily now with children. But I did have to help
them get I did have to help them get some
dates freshman year. If I recall yet, there you go,
all right? What I got to talk about here?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Sorry, I got to tell you how to save money
and protect yourself before you get wrecked online. You know,
not everybody can be sexy and cool and play the flute,
but everybody can make sure they don't get taken advantage
of on the internet. And right now, if you get

Speaker 3 (31:37):
You know, you don't hear about a lot of them either.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
You hear about the big hacks, but the ways that
they get you are so subtle and sometimes you don't
even know how. For instance, QR codes. I hate these things,
you know what I'm talking about? The QR code. You
go into a restaurant now and during the COVID era,
they stop giving you actual menus and they said, hey,
can you just pull out your phone, take a picture
of the QR code and you'll be able to look
at the menu. There are fake QR codes now that
(32:03):
they will get to allow them to get into your
phone to be able to access your information. Well, you
obviously might not even have any idea that that's going on,
because they are subtle, they are conniving. They will take

on top of election use with twenty four from Clay
and Buck, a weekly podcast you can find on the
free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your welcome back
in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. We've had a lot
of fun today updating you by the way, if you
are just getting in your car. The Georgia criminal case
(33:12):
against Donald Trump has collapsed in an excruciatingly hysterical fashion.
We played a lot of those clips for you. Encourage
you to go listen to the Clay and Buck podcast.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
You won't miss it.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Probably there will be more tomorrow because the entire thing
has turned into a cavalcade of hilarity and absurdity. Donald
Trump set for trial March twenty fifth in theory in
the Alvin Bragg bookcap book keeping case.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
We encourage all.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Of you in the WR New York City listening audience
to do whatever you can to get on that jury.
Even if you play the flute in your spare time.
You can make yourself cool by actually keeping Trump out
of prison and make up for the fact that you
play the flute. And also, we have been deluged with
people saying that my father in law was not lying
(34:00):
to me that all of you, many of you out there,
especially in the Midwest, at least learned how to swim
naked in public schools, and I still can't believe that
this is real. Buck has also done his research. That's
a sexy saxophone player in The Lost Boys, right, producer
Ali had to crush on the saxophone player, like pretty.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Good looking dude.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
I mean, I can confirm that Ali thinks that he's
a handsome fellow who plays the sacks. But I'm going
to defer to you on whether that alone is a
sex phone player.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
You you are married, you're heterosexual. You can acknowledge if
someone is grotesque or attractive. He's a good looking man.
He's very good looking, like ripped. I'm not saying that
I want to play a very good shape I will,
I will, I will admit to that. I would want
to know if he was taking a little test, little
hgh what I want to know what's in back? He's
on straight steroids. Let's be honest. This was like the
(34:51):
WWE era, getting tiptoe up to he.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Grew up watching movies where all these guys were supposed
to be the height of masculinity. They were all on steroids.
Oh okay, totally Schwartzenegger steroids, stallone steroids. Jean Claude van
dam steroids, Dolph Lungren steroids you get on a whole colon,
Bacho Man, Randy Savage. Everybody that you saw shirtless in
the nineteen eighties was shooting up with steroids like crazy. Yeah,
(35:15):
and so, and that's why, you know, I think for
a lot of people, they go to and I'm actually
beginning the fitness journey now not to get really fit,
just to get like less unfit. And I think a
lot of people have entirely unrealistic expectations because they they
naturally compare themselves to people who are on gear or
who are taking a stack of stuff every month, you know,
(35:37):
like like liver King.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
Liver King was a perfect example.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
He's like, Okay, primals just you know, equal testicles and
live a primal life. And it's like, and take ten
thousand dollars of steroids every month, and you too can
have pecks the size of bowling balls.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Yeah, it is very funny. You don't hear very often women.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
They talk about all the time, like women have unnatural
body images because every girl on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
It's mostly plastic surgery base more than anything else.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Now.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Yeah, I also I'm a fan of o'nacharell. I'm not
sure Ownaturrell swimming, but o'nacharell and the rest of life,
by our generation, that was not a thing. We've had
a lot of fun. I hope you guys have had
a lot of fun with us. Go download the podcast,
make sure you don't miss a moment.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Tomorrow. By the way, we may get a ruling in
another Trump case. That is the business case that is
in front of the Letitia James case.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
And right now as we're closing up for today, but
we promise we'll break it down for you tomorrow. Fannie
Willis Clay taking a goodness, I mean, that is going
to be must watch television.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
We'll get the best audio clips for you tomorrow, and
I guarantee we'll be opening the show with that tomorrow.
I don't see any way that she is still going
to be the DA prosecuting this case by the end
of the week, but we'll give you the big time
hits from that tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Thanks for hacking
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show Podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Third hour of Clay and Bak and you never know
what the day is going to bring on this show.
Clay Travis just a few minutes ago kicked off flute gate,
throwing this member of the woodwind family on the under
the bus all across America flute players piccolo players.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Which is really like a tiny even know what the
piccolo is.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
See look at that no respect for this member of
the woodwind family known as the flute.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Clay is not a floutist.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
And we have flute players all across America telling us
that they want to have their word with mister Clay.
So we will get to that in a little bit.
I just wanted to say Clay decided to light that.
This is a theme on this show. Sometimes I'm looking
one way and someone goes, hey, is that Clay with
an M eight And by the time around it's already
(01:01):
lit and about to go off. I'm like, good heavens,
what's happening here? And there's Clay just gleeful grin on
his face as the m ad explodes.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I'm just I'm just picturing Buck like the flute, big
flute community, instead of showing up outside the Supreme instead
of showing up outside the Supreme Court justices the protest.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
You don't understand.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
They're not gonna they're gonna be in your front lawn
all playing flute.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
What is what is the most annoying song that that
a flute player could play in?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Like on Moss Like you're.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
The big, big flute, green sleeves might be up there
for some people, that's a classic flute.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
There's there's some songs they taught us bucking elementary school.
We had the flute. Did you have a xylophone when
you were in elementary school? Did? Did you have to
purchase a xylophone? Sure, yes we had. This is one
of the most ridiculous. I'm very flute. I may be
even more anti xylophone. We had buck an entire it's
(02:06):
funny to think about now because I'm a parent. We
had an entire Christmas special when I was in elementary
school where everyone set on the stage with our xylophones
in front of us, and we played Christmas songs with
those little wooden mallets on those.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Ridiculous I'm going to share something with you that it's
just this is just between us.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Okay, this is just between us.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
At my school, we actually had a class at one
point called bells and you would have to put the
ones that you.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Hold, yes, yes, and we.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Put on white gloves to hold our bells, and then
this is for the Christmas carols and stuff and we
would sit there. This was a class. It was like
a trimester class. It was only a few months, but
we all learned to swing our bell at the right
moment with the white gloves on.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
That is unbelievable and I think about it now as
a parent. There are so many things that we did
and like, I can't imagine now showing up to watch
one of my own kids play, not seeing play the xylophone,
sitting on the stage Christmas music.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
The other thing buck that we did. Did you do
that your schools might have been too good for this.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Our fundraiser was they gave us boxes of chocolates and
we were just supposed to walk around and sell chocolate bars.
And it's like slave labor. It's like the world that
stuff still exists.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
We did a walkathon where we were like, hey, we're
gonna go walk around New York city give us money.
So no, we were not above a little bit of
the fundraiser.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
We have chocolate candy carrying cases.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I'm talking about like eight years old, and it's basically
slave labor. You're walking around trying to sell this world's
finest chocolate. It's just a freaking chocolate bar. I don't
understand how many of the decisions that we were allowed
to undertake in the nineteen eighties were considered totally normal.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
And I'll also tell you one thing that got rid
of at my school that I thought was was really
good and and I don't know how many other schools
had this. We had required for phizz ed wrestling as
a class. And not only do we have do we
have required wrestling. There was a tournament that everybody had
to You had to be in the tournament the whole school,
(04:30):
well from like like the Royal Rumble, from fourth to
eighth grade, so it was by grade year and it
was by weight class. But at the end of it,
you would actually end up wrestling someone in front of
the entire school from great everybody else. And and I'm
gonna tell you once once you've had someone like pile
driving your face into the mat in front of five
(04:52):
hundred of your of your of your buddies. You know,
it's a it's a good uh, it's a good analogy
for life.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
But also you want to learn how to handle yourself
a little bit. And having that.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
People think you know that, oh like if someone like
pushes me, I'm just gonna like turn into a superhero. No,
what actually happens is your heart starts beating out of
your chest and you start getting scared and then you're
you know, you have to figure out are you gonna
do something or you're just gonna get bumbled.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
That's what actually happens.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
All right, I'm gonna blow your mind here, buck, because
I couldn't believe this. My father in law, who grew
up in Michigan in the Detroit area, went to public school.
They taught them swimming. Okay, they had a swimming pool
at like the public school that he went to. They
were all nude for swim class. In like the nineteen
(05:41):
fifties in Michigan, you would go to learn how to swim,
and every if he's pranking me. And I've mentioned this
before and other people who were like around that age
are like, yeah, you know, we learned how to swim.
At public school too, everybody was naked. Can you believe
that that happened? I mean, I'm not talking about happened
(06:02):
in like the eighteen forties, like they taught them how
to swim. Nobody wore swimsuits. All the boys were and
they were not with the girls.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Elite men's athletic clubs and and sort of social clubs
and you know, elite and quotes whatever. But in New
York for a long time that were all male. And yeah,
a lot of them had to go co ed because
there were lawsuits because of business that was being conducted,
and women were excluded from this anyway. But when they
were all male, people are gonna think that I'm and
by the way, the famous ones that some of you
(06:32):
know of the New York area, this people swam in
the pools naked and they just sort of make them
what years, Like, I mean, this happened when I was
that this happened when when you were a kid, like the.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Nineteen eighties, we.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
You know, we would wear but like there were like
really old dudes would splash around in their naked Yes,
the kids would wear bathing suits.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I mean I couldn't of all the stories that I've
heard about kids going to school. I couldn't like the
fact that everybody would just show up naked and get
taught how to swim at public school.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Bonkers to me how they did it's I mean, it's
it is.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
I agree that it's a bit of a it's jarring
if they had the Olympics naked back in angel Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
I know that back in Greece, in the ancient in
the ancient days.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
This show just took a really weird turn. Clay, what
have you done today? Security threat? All right, just talking
about naked.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Swimming and the russiare gonna blow us up in space?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Yeah, all right, here we go. Okay, everybody recentering here.
Blame play for this one, and flute players send us,
send us your most fiery emails. How's intel chairs cryptic
warning about serious national security threat prompts officials to urge calm.
You know what I thought was most interesting about this
not the fact that there's some vague.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
We have a very serious national security threat.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Uh and you know, no specifics beyond that, right, I mean,
this reminds me if you remember after nine to eleven
there was the oh, the threat level.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Is orange oh yeah, the color.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yes, everybody was like, what you know, because they would
go to a yellow threat level and it'll right, it
was idiotic, but people were scared, and when people are scared,
they're susceptible to bad ideas, and people in power use
that fear to push bad ideas and increase their power. Anyway,
they pushed this national security warning, and here is Jake Sullivan,
(08:22):
the national security advisor. I mean this guy, the notion
of this guy inspiring any confidence about security. I wouldn't
feel good if Jake Sullivan was in charge of my
neighborhood watch. But he's a national security advisor.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Here he is. This has cut five play it.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
House Intelligence chair speaking out about a serious.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
National security threat. The lack of your ability to say
anything has.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
The potential to raise distress for some Americans. In the
simplest of terms, can you tell Americans that there's nothing
they have to worry about right now in terms of
what he describes as a national security threat? Look, I
think in a way that question is impossible to answer
with this straight yes, right, because Americans understand that.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
There are a range of threats and challenges in the
world that we're dealing with. Every single day, and those
threats and challenges range from terrorism to state actors, and
we have to contend with them, and we have to
contend with them in a way where we ensure the
ultimate security of the American people.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
So Buck, My thing on this is.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
It's awfully convenient how there's sudden, deep threats to national
security that emerge when there's one hundred billion dollars that
you have to vote on to protect Ukraine, Taiwan, and
Israel or you're an American. And when this story came
out yesterday afternoon, what I sort of heard in the
(09:48):
response was everybody just sort of rolled their eyes. And
I think this is emblematic of a deep and abiding
lab lack of faith in institutions that exists.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
In America right now.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
And I think a lot of it is the legacy
of COVID, where they told us all these things that
made us look ridiculous and did not protect us at all.
And now I was already and I think you were
naturally this way too. I'm skeptical, skeptical of authority in general.
If you tell me, hey, you must do this, my
(10:25):
eyebrows get raised automatically.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I think it actually will tell everyon.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I will tell everyone when you tell Clay not to
do something, just like in the N eighty analogy, he's
letting that ad.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
So, yeah, I'm more likely when I'm told not that
I can't do something, I'm more likely to want to
do it than if you let me make my own choice.
And so, but what I've seen overwhelmingly from this buck
is a lot of people are like, you know what,
I just I don't really believe it, And the timing
is suspect, and I feel like you're lying to me and.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Everybody that's.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Everyone looked skyward when this came out there. I did
not sense, you know. And I'm trying to you know,
online you're reading between the lines and trying to figure
out what the consensus perception may be. It's imperfect, obviously,
but we live in this world and you can do
it pretty well if you're constantly paying attention to what
everyone's saying. I sensed no anxiety at all. I sensed
(11:21):
a near universal give me a break. Yeah, everyone say
think about this. You have the top of the national
security apparatus in the United States saying.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
There's a really scary threat. You gotta be scared. But
you got to keep your composure, and everyone says, shut up.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
And that's where we are now, and I think it's
where we are because of the failures of the so
called foreign policy and national security intelligentsia. The sense of
an increasingly part is in FBI, CIA, and you know,
those are really the gold standard agencies within that, within
the intelligence sphere. But you know, that's something that people
(11:58):
are very aware of now. And there's there's a general
just unwillingness to be led around anymore by these clowns,
which which I think, in for the most part, is
a good thing. Right that The problem is there could
be something that's real one day, and not only do
we have clowns in charge, we have people who will
(12:18):
assume the clowns are honking their noses again, you know
what I mean, they're not.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
We're not going to take it as seriously as we should.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
And the one thing that's a bit alarming about that
buck is it is the boy who cries wolf scenario.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Right.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
At some point in time, there is going to be
something where we're going to need to know that there
is a danger and it's going to make sense to
respond to it. The problem is we've been lied to
and gas lit to such an extravagant degree that I
think many people I would put myself in this category,
(12:53):
are not going to believe threats that are actually serious
in nature because all of the lies of posed up
and there isn't a reason to trust the people in
positions of authority. And I don't know how that gets rebuilt.
I think Buck, probably you and I are too young
to remember this. I think some of our listeners will
recall it. The legacy of Vietnam was a profound distrust
(13:15):
in this country, and I think after nine to eleven
people were pretty trusting in the United States. I think
people genuinely thought, Hey, everybody's trying to do the best
thing that they can. And now I don't know how
that gets rebuilt. It might take a generation, might take longer.
Eight hundred two two eight a two. The first sound
(13:37):
and on bord child makes comes from their heart. A
child is not even a month into its existence, still
in the womb, before we can hear the baby's heartbeat.
At five weeks into its life, that heart is big
enough loud enough to be captured on ultrasound. That's where
preborn steps in. The nonprofit organization that helped pregnant mothers
contending with the decision of abortion or life for their child.
(13:58):
Because of the kind of work they do, and by
providing a free ultrasound in the process, they're able to
rescue two hundred babies every day from abortion. Simply by
providing a mother with that free ultrasound, Hearing her child's
heartbeat and seeing their perfectly formed body in the womb
so often makes a difference and pushes that mother toward
the decision to give the baby life, give her child life.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
That gives life to her child, and also in so
many ways, saves the life of that mother because she
won't live with the trauma of a decision that she
wishes she could take back for.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
The rest of her life.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
You can be a critical part of this process because
the only funding for preborn comes from you, the pro
life community, people like you and me giving their money
to save lives. For just twenty eight dollars, which will
sponsor an ultrasound, you could be the difference between a
life or death of a baby. And I know so
many of you can spare twenty eight dollars. Think about that,
(14:54):
twenty eight dollars and it's going right to giving a
mother who is in crisis and ultrasound that will encourage
her just because of her own decision making and her
own connection to that child, encourage her to have a
baby that she might not have otherwise. And someone out
there I think listening to this right now would be
able to donate more. Can you consider a leadership gift
(15:18):
five thousand dollars ten thousand dollars. I know times are
tough right now, but we have people in the pro
life community who could write that check and not think
twice about it. It's one hundred percent tax deductible, and
you'd sponsor Preborn's network for a day, two days, maybe
even a week, depends on how much you can give.
Consider a leadership gift of five thousand dollars or even
(15:40):
ten thousand dollars. Donating is very easy. Use your cell
phone dial pound two fifty and say the keyword baby.
That's pound two five zero, say baby, or donate securely
at preborn dot com, slash buck that's preborn dot com,
slash buc k. Preborn has a one hundred percent charity ratings.
You can give with confidence sponsored by Preboard twenty.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Four on You podcast from Clay and Fuck covering all
Things Election.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Episodes drop Sundays at noon Eastern.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Find it on the free iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcast. The Big Flute community is outraged over
my assertion that people who play flutes are losers.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
It is the loserist of all the instruments. I looked
at it.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I was just like, maybe I'm being unkind to flutes,
and I want to make it clear that I apologize
for absolutely nothing. I looked it up. I'm not even
sure what the second closest loser instrument is.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
There. You got that guy like you basically, especially if
you're a man.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Maybe I'll go differently about your over harp as a
really well, the harp wasn't on my list of available instruments.
Score one for team flute out there. I do, buddy,
do men play harps? I think the harp is only
plagued by like virginal women, right like I think once
you sleep with a man, you're not allowed to play
(17:00):
the harp anymore. That's the rule on the harp. I
look at the flute and I think to myself, you
have decided to become an expert on holding basically a
penis shaped object in your hand and blowing into holes
on it all day long.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
This is not something that I choose to do. More
power to you.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
By the way, we got an emails of Clay. We
have got nothing but emails Clay. Clay's This side of
the third hour of the show today is going to
be devoted to naked swimming policies and flute players.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Clay.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
This is from Paul vip email. I am a professional
flute player in South Florida. See when I hear that,
I just think like you're a male escort. That's what
I think when I read that sentence. Just wanted to
say gay mail or escort. By the way, just wanted
to say, guys who play the flute are serious chick magnets.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Ps. You guys are great. I love listening every day.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
No woman has ever said, when she's seen a guy
play in the floor, I got to sleep with that guy.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
That has never happened in the history of mankind? Is
this me? What am I talking about? Tunnel the towers.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Look, we want to make sure that we do some
good in the world, because God knows, we say a
lot of things that aren't necessarily amazing on the show.
On a day to day basis, and our friends at
Tunnel to Towers they actually make a tremendous difference in
the world. They will make sure that they take care
of so many people out there that gave their lives.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
To try and make you safe.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
And what Tunnel the Towers is doing right now is
they are helping to make sure that younger generations know
all about nine to eleven. You know, it's been what
are we sitting at twenty three years? There are kids
graduating from college now who know nothing about nine to eleven.
The Tunnel the Towers Nine to eleven Institute is righting
that wrong, making sure that we never forget what happened
on that day. You can join both of us in
(18:54):
donating eleven dollars a month to Tunnel the Towers at
T two t dot org.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
That's Tea, the number two T dot org.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Floodgates are open. Do we have calls to the emails
are flying in at a pace that is dizzying. Right now,
we have patriotic flute players across America, and I neither
confer nor deny. I mean, it's probably a woodwind instrument.
I can tell you that, but I'm not I'm not
telling anyone one way or the other what instrument I
(19:24):
grew up playing. I'm just gonna say right now, though, Clay,
the flute players of America, they're gonna come find you,
my friend. And then we've also got a lot of
people who grew up swimming. What oh natural?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
You know swimming?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Tons of people are email let me read some of
these for you.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Buck.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
By the way, poor Ali, she just said, I'm on
taking phone calls. It's all people talking about naked swimming
and gym class like, this is the thing that I.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
I think if you are did you have any idea
this happened?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Would you have believed that public school in like the
sixties and seventies men learned how to swim naked?
Speaker 3 (20:03):
I would have. I thought I would being change you
change in the locker rooms, nake as long as it's not. Yeah,
there's a big.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Difference between being buck asked naked in the swimming pool
with one hundred other dudes and wearing changing and putting.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
On a swim question. When did buck naked become a thing?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Because I got to tell you, wasn't easy growing up,
Like what does a buck buck have to do with
big naked.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
This is medium matters. That's a good question. I don't
know buck nake.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Someone when you know, why is it like John naked?
It's buck naked. It makes no sense to me. I
don't understand anyway. Uh, I'm gonna start. I'm gonna start
with one. You're catching some fire here from Damon, one
of our VIPs. I suspected Clay would not know what
a piccolo and some other instruments like the obo is. Clay,
those things you played in elementary school were not flutes.
(20:51):
They're called recorders, you silly adolescents.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
So Damon is not.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Hurt by argument that people who like to play flutes
or losers. Because you write in and you're like, you
don't even know what an obo is, I'm gonna be like,
yeah again, I stand by it is there.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
We have millions of listeners.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Is there any woman right now listening to us that
has ever seen a man playing a flute and said,
I'm going home with that guy. There are millions of
listeners right now. You can call the show. You could
confess you saw a man playing the flute, because there's
lots of people out there who saw man playing a guitar,
(21:32):
saw man playing.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Oh yeah, drums, the guy playing the guitar at the
college party. You can never trust your girlfriend next to
that guy, because you know what's coming next. He's gonna
put her name into the song. I wrote this just
for you.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
That's why the guy learned how to play the guitar
for the chicks. Everybody who learned how to play the
drums did it for the chicks. Nobody was like, I'm
gonna take this penis object and blow into it so
amazingly that every move my fingers actively on it, and
every woman in America is gonna want to be with me.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I don't think it's ever happened.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Bob is writing in these are all VIPs writing it.
If gonna be a VIP, go to Clayanbuck dot com,
please sign up subscribe to this show, and Bob writes
in hilarious, I'm crying.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Clay is so right.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I don't know who they are, but I know they're
losers because they play the flute. That is the quote
that he has Linda taking the other.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Side of this.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yike's flute discrimination. For many years and still many of
the top symphony players around the country who play the
flute are men. So Linda is saying, in the classical
music world, clay flute players do get some chicks, but
they're probably the obo players.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
She's just saying that they play it. She did. I
stand by this.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
No woman has ever seen a man playing the flute
and said I'm going home with this guy. You might
have gone home with him despite the fact that he
played the flute. There are women out there right now
married guys who played the flute. They're like, I wish
he didn't play the flute. I wish he played the
guitar or the drums with you.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Oh wait, here we go.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Kendra writes in Clay, the only way to be a
cool flute player is to be a classical flutist, and
for goodness sake, keep the flute out of classic rock songs.
I'm an expert in this as a music teacher, made
my living teaching band in schools, and I'm a saxophone player,
the only really cool instrument there is. And then she
throws me under the bus. I bet you buck is
(23:24):
an obo player or maybe viola. Wow. I didn't play
any instrument in school. I'm tone deaf.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
I couldn't even sing in chorse, so I am objective here,
and people who play loser play flutes are losers. That's
the rules, Scott. You could have played the guitar, you
could have played the drums and gotten chicks.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Scott writes, Jump is van Halen's worst song by far.
In fact, if you look it up, you'll see that
that song was a betrayal at the time. Good Van
Helen song include pretty Woman, Dancing in the Streets, running
with the Devil, drop dead Legs.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I disagree.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I think Jump is at the top of the van
Halen pantheon or catalog. I celebrate van Halen's whole catalog,
and uh, I don't I think this this You're throwing
some heat at one of the better songs. But Clay
doesn't know van Halen, so I don't think we can
spend too much time on that one.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I don't know anything music. By the way, swimming emails.
Gonna go for it, Phil says, Lockport, Illinois. All the
boys gym class swimming done in the nude A ridiculous site.
What many of us didn't know was there was an
air vent on the side of the building where curious
girls or others could get a glimpse of us standing
(24:39):
on the side of the pool.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
My immediate thought, I hope the pool was not cold.
I hope that that pool was warm.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
You're having a stand around naked. Remember this Seinfeld episode.
I was in the pool, cold pool. I don't know
this guy. I attended Tapping Junior High Junior High in
ann Arbor, Michigan in the sixties. We regularly did all
male swim classes in the nude. I look back on
this and wonder what pervpedo implemented these policies. Fortunately I
(25:08):
have no complexes from it. I guess that's when I
knew for sure I wasn't gay. We swam naked in
chris We swam naked in high school suburban Chicago in
the seventies.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Not just swimming water polo too. They played games against
each other water polo. This is this is an incredible Yes,
switching gears here.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Mark writes, agreed Buck, the best Van Helen song is
why Can't This Be Love? Sammy Hagar all the Way? Uh,
And Bucky writes and appears that suddenly, overnight Buck has
become an expert on music. He knew who recorded Tainted
Love yesterday and jumped today. That being said, music and
sports are the only two subjects I could beat him
at in a game of trivia. Bucky, I got news
(25:59):
for you. Just sports, buddy.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Just wow, you're throwing down the gauntlet on your music. Man.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
I wouldn't pretend for a second that I could take
Bucky in a in a sports competition, but you'd have
your hands full and the rest of it.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Doug writes in and says that I'm wrong.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
He says bagpipes and the accordion are both worse than
the flute.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
I just bagpipes are pretty badass.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
If people play bagpipes and everyone wants to grab a
claymore and run off the war like I don't. I
don't agree with that you want to like I can't
hear a bagpipe playing without wanting to to have it.
I've never seen a female bagpipe. I've only seen dudes
playing bagpipe. And a guarantee, by the way you tell
a dude playing the bagpipe that it's like not manly,
(26:43):
you are getting a head butt to the face.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Oh he would beat your ass. And and the accordion.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
I know you love Lady in the Tramp the worst
of all the Disney movies, Buck, but one of.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
The the guy who doesn't know music doesn't like the
Disney musical, what a surprise.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Uh. One of the good scenes in UH in the
Tramp is when they have the spaghetti and they run
out and they have the kiss and they're playing the accordion.
I'm very pro accordion. The accordion dunks all over the
flute as well as the bagpipes. I think that Doug
should be a shamed for that time.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
The limits this is, this is not nom there are
rules like there are limits here. I don't know if
you could just throw the accordion is better than the flute,
like no, doesn't even have a place in symphony orchestras
like it helps.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
This is not like nobody wants to be in the
symphony orchestra. You want to be in a nice Italian restaurant.
You want to bring lovers together, you want to aid
in the propagation of the species. Do you want to
have a guy dancing around with a flute or do
you want a guy with an accordion and a nice,
fancy Italian restaurant bringing love together?
Speaker 3 (27:42):
This is not a tough This is not a tough call.
The accordion dominate.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
I will say, we grew up in an era and
everybody who's roughly our age, you know, because I'm in
my early forties and Clays in his late sixties.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
So everyone rough.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I love when people write in and tell me I
have to stop being mean about your age, by the way,
it's so fun. But yeah, Clay is three years older
than me, so our ages out there. You all know
that the saxophone in the eighties and nineties, Oh, it
was legitimately a phenomenon. Like you go back and listen
to a lot of the top you listen to, like
(28:16):
top Whitney Houston songs, there are any jessophone solos. I
think the sax is a great instrument. And I know
people associated now with Bill Clinton, He's don catt it
people who are really good sax players.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
I think it's cool.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah, I think there's a sex appeal for the saxophone.
I think women are impressed by the saxophone.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
The character Ron Swanson as Duke Silver was a saxophone player.
So if it's good enough for Ron Swanson from Parks
and rec it's good enough for me.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
It is.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I think you're right, though, Bill, If you ask somebody
right now, I've been in our listening audience. What's the
first thing you think of when you think of a saxophone.
I think a lot of people's answer is Bill Clinton
playing the saxophone on Saturday Night on our Cinio Hall.
That's where it was, right, It was on our Cinio
Hall show back in the day, right, if I remember correctly,
that was the Fox Late Night show and Arcinio did
(29:05):
you ever see Coming to America two? That came out
recently with Arcinio Hall in it, repurprising his role as.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Coming to America. Didn't know that. I didn't even know
they did it. Oh it's pretty, it's decent for as
remakes go. Twenty years later. I think it was on
it was a sequel?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Sorry, sequel, well, I said, part two? Yeah, sorry, Mike's
in my ear like it's a sequel, it's not a remake. Okay, sorry, yes,
Coming to America too. He reprises his role as the
you know, Consigliari or whatever his title was of the
Eddie Murphy.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Character Consolieri because we don't pronounce the G in Italian
and he's the.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
King of Zumunda.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Right, Well, Eddie Murphy is, but but Urcitio Hall is
like his bodymate or whatever you want to call him,
like his chief, his chief protector.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
He's really good. Yeah, he's really good in the in
that one, for sure.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
You have to do read and then we have to
get some of these. We have flute player rage coming
through on the lines right now. I just want to
let you we did cover all the main news today,
so we do have that going for us.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Let me just also mention Ali is saying the saxophone.
We watched The Lost Boys recently. There is a shirtless
saxophone player in the band.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
In the movie The Lost Boys.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
It is the most ripped, good looking saxophone player of
all time. I couldn't stop laughing about it when we
watched it because it's very eighties.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
I think he was like in tight.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Jeans, shirtless, long hair, sunglasses, just killing it on the saxophone.
That is what Ali producer Ali thinks of, not Bill Clinton,
the incredibly good looking nineteen eighty saxophone player from Lost Boys.
So just clearing that up, and I just tell you
my college roommate, true story, was a tuba player, and
he was the first tuba player I ever met.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Did he get chicks? I cannot of.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Concernal de and I no, no, I think he's married
happily now with children. But I did have to help
them get I did have to help them get some
dates freshman year. If I recall yet, there you go,
all right? What I got to talk about here?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Sorry, I got to tell you how to save money
and protect yourself before you get wrecked online. You know,
not everybody can be sexy and cool and play the flute,
but everybody can make sure they don't get taken advantage
of on the internet. And right now, if you get

Speaker 3 (31:37):
You know, you don't hear about a lot of them either.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
You hear about the big hacks, but the ways that
they get you are so subtle and sometimes you don't
even know how. For instance, QR codes. I hate these things,
you know what I'm talking about? The QR code. You
go into a restaurant now and during the COVID era,
they stop giving you actual menus and they said, hey,
can you just pull out your phone, take a picture
of the QR code and you'll be able to look
at the menu. There are fake QR codes now that
(32:03):
they will get to allow them to get into your
phone to be able to access your information. Well, you
obviously might not even have any idea that that's going on,
because they are subtle, they are conniving. They will take
advantage of you. That's why you need LifeLock. LifeLock uses

on top of election use with twenty four from Clay
and Buck, a weekly podcast you can find on the
free iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your welcome back
in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. We've had a lot
of fun today updating you by the way, if you
are just getting in your car. The Georgia criminal case
(33:12):
against Donald Trump has collapsed in an excruciatingly hysterical fashion.
We played a lot of those clips for you. Encourage
you to go listen to the Clay and Buck podcast.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
You won't miss it.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Probably there will be more tomorrow because the entire thing
has turned into a cavalcade of hilarity and absurdity. Donald
Trump set for trial March twenty fifth in theory in
the Alvin Bragg bookcap book keeping case.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
We encourage all.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Of you in the WR New York City listening audience
to do whatever you can to get on that jury.
Even if you play the flute in your spare time.
You can make yourself cool by actually keeping Trump out
of prison and make up for the fact that you
play the flute. And also, we have been deluged with
people saying that my father in law was not lying
(34:00):
to me that all of you, many of you out there,
especially in the Midwest, at least learned how to swim
naked in public schools, and I still can't believe that
this is real. Buck has also done his research. That's
a sexy saxophone player in The Lost Boys, right, producer
Ali had to crush on the saxophone player, like pretty.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
Good looking dude.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
I mean, I can confirm that Ali thinks that he's
a handsome fellow who plays the sacks. But I'm going
to defer to you on whether that alone is a
sex phone player.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
You you are married, you're heterosexual. You can acknowledge if
someone is grotesque or attractive. He's a good looking man.
He's very good looking, like ripped. I'm not saying that
I want to play a very good shape I will,
I will, I will admit to that. I would want
to know if he was taking a little test, little
hgh what I want to know what's in back? He's
on straight steroids. Let's be honest. This was like the
(34:51):
WWE era, getting tiptoe up to he.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Grew up watching movies where all these guys were supposed
to be the height of masculinity. They were all on steroids.
Oh okay, totally Schwartzenegger steroids, stallone steroids. Jean Claude van
dam steroids, Dolph Lungren steroids you get on a whole colon,
Bacho Man, Randy Savage. Everybody that you saw shirtless in
the nineteen eighties was shooting up with steroids like crazy. Yeah,
(35:15):
and so, and that's why, you know, I think for
a lot of people, they go to and I'm actually
beginning the fitness journey now not to get really fit,
just to get like less unfit. And I think a
lot of people have entirely unrealistic expectations because they they
naturally compare themselves to people who are on gear or
who are taking a stack of stuff every month, you know,
(35:37):
like like liver King.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
Liver King was a perfect example.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
He's like, Okay, primals just you know, equal testicles and
live a primal life. And it's like, and take ten
thousand dollars of steroids every month, and you too can
have pecks the size of bowling balls.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Yeah, it is very funny. You don't hear very often women.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
They talk about all the time, like women have unnatural
body images because every girl on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
It's mostly plastic surgery base more than anything else.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Now.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Yeah, I also I'm a fan of o'nacharell. I'm not
sure Ownaturrell swimming, but o'nacharell and the rest of life,
by our generation, that was not a thing. We've had
a lot of fun. I hope you guys have had
a lot of fun with us. Go download the podcast,
make sure you don't miss a moment.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Tomorrow. By the way, we may get a ruling in
another Trump case. That is the business case that is
in front of the Letitia James case.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
And right now as we're closing up for today, but
we promise we'll break it down for you tomorrow. Fannie
Willis Clay taking a goodness, I mean, that is going
to be must watch television.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
We'll get the best audio clips for you tomorrow, and
I guarantee we'll be opening the show with that tomorrow.
I don't see any way that she is still going
to be the DA prosecuting this case by the end
of the week, but we'll give you the big time
hits from that tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
