Clay Floored! Buck Never Filled Out a March Madness Bracket

CLAY: We’ve moved into the month of March. Buck, when’s the last time you filled out a bracket for the NCAA Tournament?

BUCK: I’ve never —

CLAY: You know what I’m talking about?

BUCK: I’ve never filled out a bracket for it.

CLAY: You never filled out an NCAA tournament bracket?

BUCK: No. No.

CLAY: Not even when you were a kid.

BUCK: No.

CLAY: (long pause) It’s rare that my… I wish there was video of my jaw just dropping like this. I would bet 97%, 98% of our audience has filled out an NCAA tournament bracket at some point. Even if it’s just, “Hey, here’s the $10, you know, here’s a bracket, go fill it out,” $10 challenge at your place of work, maybe when you were a kid in school. I know when I was a kid, teachers, we used to fill out the brackets and if you won you got like a pizza gift certificate or something. I am legitimately in disbelief that you’ve never filled out an NCAA bracket.

BUCK: I mean, I think it’s just not as common in the Northeast ’cause we don’t have a huge NCAA March Madness.

CLAY: I’m not gonna let you get away… I went to school in the Northeast. Every kid I knew was doing bracket challenges.

BUCK: You went to school in the Mid-Atlantic, sir!

CLAY: I went to George Washington, people who don’t know, it’s all northeastern kids. It’s all Long Island kids, all Philly kids. Yes, they have, like, geographic diversity now a little bit more. But it’s a very Northeastern school.

BUCK: This will not be news to the audience that Buck is a strange duck; so here we go.

CLAY: (laughing) I just… I — I — I am in dis… Where’s Ali? Has everybody else on the show… Surely even Ali —

BUCK: Oh, we got… I got both of our producers here in New York, Mojo and Mike. I’m sure producer Mark, who loves sports, has probably filled out brackets every year since he could write.

CLAY: My kids fill out brackets!

BUCK: But both or producers here, they’ve never filled it out.

CLAY: What!

BUCK: Both of them never filled it out, they just told me right now, right here, Mojo and Mike, no brackets.

CLAY: I am… (sputtering) The reason I was just bringing this up is because we’re now into March and March madness is basically the unifying symbol of excellence for everywhere but this studio, evidently, where a majority of people have never filled out brackets. Here’s what I want you to do. If you are as stunned by this revelation as I am, just tag @BuckSexton, @ClayTravis on Twitter, and let me know because I feel like I’m in disbelief. I — I can’t even conceptualize. My kids, my 7-year-old, has already filled out a bracket.

BUCK: Their dad did found a sports network, to be fair.

CLAY: (laughs) Sports media company. True. They’re probably in the high-end percentile for sports knowledge based on young kids. But… All right. So we’re gonna have to come back to this.
