Clay Travis Law

You've been vote shamed enough at this point.

Don't make me unleash the Clay Travis on you for more vote shaming.

Get out there and vote.

Make sure that you show up and do your part here.

Big storms potentially coming through in the Southeast and the Midwest on Election Day, just like...

We were saying,

get out there now because just think of the apparition of Clay Travis appearing in your windshield as you're stuck in a snowdrift trying to get to the polling place and him just saying, look what you've done.

You don't want to get vote shamed by a floating clay apparition like something out of Ghostbusters.

Complete absurdity of the existence of awful announcing, who for a minute had a place in the sun because we thought it was funny when somebody caught faux pas and mistakes on air under the banner of awful announcing, but quickly just became an obvious nother because that's what we need, another lefty rag in sports.

When I look at their comment section, it's like you get 10 and they all talk about how they hate I don't know, Clay Travis or Pat McAfee or Kirk Herbstreit or at one time Will Kane.

But they're so small.

Like that little comment section became not just the audience validation they thought they needed, but it then for years drove this internal feedback loop where the big lead or – whatever lefty sports rag with minuscule readership was read, though, in fact, by executives at ESPN.

Welcome in, Clay Travis Show here.

Happy Halloween.

Is it all Hallows' Eve? Is that what Halloween actually means historically? It is Halloween Eve.

I had a better opportunity and foundation than my dad did.

My dad likely had a better foundation than his dad did.

My grandfather that I was named after, Clay Travis, he dropped out of school in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky in eighth grade.

That was the peak of his education, eighth grade.

Never took an airplane flight in his entire life.

My guest today is Stephen Yates.

Stephen is the host of Nation States with Yates on the Clay and Buck Podcast Network on iHeart, just like this show is.

He was Vice President Cheney's Deputy National Security Advisor for the first five years of the Bush administration and spent many years as a state party chairman of the Republican Party in Idaho.

Hi, Stephen.

And I guess getting involved in all this, I guess it starts with what is all this? What is it?

How did we end up? I say it's this thing of ours, you know? Yeah.

So if it comes down to the ever glorious and amazing Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Podcast Network, which I am genuinely grateful to be a part of, Buck Sexton and I crossed paths in somewhere around the 2010, 2011 range, I think.

I had been several years out of the Bush administration, had been volunteering my time giving charitable contributions to the Fox News Channel.

Well...

it was neck and neck so same thing here they get this wrong these public polls deliberately uh we got a lot to get to in the next hour and don't forget at noon buck saxton and clay travis coming up the most listened to radio show in america sean hannity at three you got jesse kelly at six and the very funny jimmy fela he's here every night nine o'clock on 7 10 w o r welcome back to the mark simone show

Don't forget, at noon, it's Buck Sexton and Clay Travis coming up at 3.

You've got the most listened to radio show in America, Sean Hannity, Jesse Kelly at 6, the very funny Jimmy Fela every night, 9 o'clock.

Everywhere I look, in fact, Republicans seem depressed about the Senate race here in Texas.

Case in point, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton are the guys who took over Rush Limbaugh's radio slot after he passed away.

And they were talking to one of their colleagues, another conservative commentator in Houston, Jesse Kelly.

Texas, Texas, Texas.

Take care.

Don't forget, at noon, it's Buck Sexton and Clay Travis coming up at 3.

That's a big loss.

Look, Brownie, I mean, we don't donate like Clay Travis and company due to Vanderbilt Law School and such.

We don't have those kind of pockets, but I should.

He's been out on Lincoln Riley a little bit earlier than most, and you have to imagine that there are a lot of folks around SC trying to figure out if they even want to bring him back for another season, or maybe they can strike up a conversation where Cody Campbell pays Lincoln Riley's buyout, and they bring Lincoln down to Texas Tech, where I think he's probably a better fit overall.
