Clay Travis

You can't replicate that.

But what you can do is try to perpetuate or continue on with the mission for that audience and serving that audience.

And having two people, what we always say now about this is like, no one can fill Rush's shoes, so they put Clay in one shoe and me in the other, and we go as fast as we can every day together.

And I think because, and that's in earnest, because I grew up listening to Rush, and we had learned so much about radio from this guy.

and so you know nobody even if you're signed to a bulls contract like nobody wants to put on michael jordan's jersey but the bulls like chicago fans still need a team right i mean you know you still want people to carry on the legacy so because of that built-in uh humility uh which is like neither of us are rush we can't be rushed but we can try to uphold the legacy of what he built um

I think we came into it with the right mindset and the audience knew that, too, that we weren't it wasn't, you know, not neither of us have ever said.

And I think it would be foolish for anyone to say I'm the new rush.

No such thing.

Not possible.

And so we knew that.

And that was part of our mandate.

And they said, look, why don't we bring two guys who are similar?

on viewpoint and background on let's say 60, 70, maybe 80% of stuff.

And then the other 20%, I come from a CIA background.

Clay comes from a sports and entrepreneur background.

They can cover a lot of ground together between the two of them.

And that was the formula.

And so when we came together, they were just like, you guys, you have an incredible opportunity, make it work.

And Clay's a pro.

And I like to think I'm a pro.
