Your listening to Fox Sports Radio.

Some of you may have seen me talking about this on social media. Some of you may listen to both of us. So Dan Levitard has been at ESPN radio for a long time.

In fact, I think he was at ESPN for like 20 years or whatever the heck it was over a prolonged period of time. And he's now left. And so this isn't me being cocky. Fox Sports Radio is the best sports talk radio in the country.

There's not even a close second now ESPN is just getting absolutely destroyed by Fox Sports Radio. I mean, I'm pretty decent. I think you guys know that I think highly of myself. But then we go into Dan Patrick.

And then we go into Colin Coward. And then we go into Doug Gottlieb and then Brussard and Rob Parker and all these different guys all throughout the day. And I'm not trying to leave anybody out. But that's just me kind of reciting the rundown of the

shows as I know them really good talent, right? Levitard now is off ESPN radio and he's doing a podcast exclusive show which more power to him whatever he can he can make his way doing his show any way that he likes.

And so he he was doing his show on Thursday. I think this went up and he decided to take some shots at me and I found out because people tagged me on Twitter and they're like, oh, did you see what Levitard said about you? And I'm like, this is always kind of funny to me, right?

If you listen to this show regularly, you know that I don't care what people say about me. And if I to the extent that I have any superpower, my wife would say my superpower is if 10 people say something bad about me and one person says something nice about me.

I remember the nice thing. I don't really hold grudges. I don't sit around worried about what people say about me. So I just kind of think the whole thing is funny.

So Levitard now he's not on ESPN radio. He's a wild man. He's free. He can say whatever he wants. And he said this on his show yesterday over the last 12 months to us and elsewhere to us and elsewhere because I've got something for that staying clay Travis in a second who wants to sit it out now when he was having Trump on his infomercial podcast, Dixie vodka cheap just getting Trump to foment this base.

Okay, so I think it's crazy in general that you would consider it a point of condemnation that I had the president of the United States on my radio show twice, by the way.

I will tell you this. I said it back when we had the president on I will always put on the president of the United States. If somebody reaches out and says the president of the United States would be interested in doing your show.

It's a no brainer. If Joe Biden's people when he gets inaugurated at some point during the course of his presidency said, hey, Joe wants to reach a huge audience of sports fans. Are you interested in having him on the answer would be yes.

I would say yes to every president of my life.

Ronald Reagan George W. Bush Bill Clinton Barack Obama all of these guys Donald Trump and now Joe Biden I would have them all on and a heartbeat right always going to do that.

But this to me is emblematic of a larger story in my industry, which is whether or not you agree with what I say on this show on a day to day basis.

The reason why we have the audience that we do is because I sit down and tell you exactly what I think for three hours every single day.

I don't tell you what I think you want to hear. I tell you exactly what I think and sometimes you're out there listening and you're like, Clay, you are full of it. I 100% disagree with you what in the world are you thinking.

And other times you're like, you know what he's making a pretty good point. And so what has happened in my industry is that so rare that we have become not even just in sports media, but in media in general one of the most honest radio shows you can find anywhere.

And what Levitard represents is he is out there throwing insults at me because I don't bow down and kiss the ring of the ascendant far left wing sports media.

I don't think that Donald Trump voters are awful human beings.
