Andrew Klavan (1:07)
If good is, in fact, the absence of evil, you know, like doctors fighting illness, cops fighting crime, then doing evil might actually have some sort of point.
Michael Knowles (1:17)
So, so you're saying the sort of Kantian view But that's good still, right? is the opposite, is basically the opposite of the Neoplatonist. So it's like that, because the, like, Plotinus would say, wait, hold on, we're in, we're coming in hot to the show with that cutting edge talk about Plotinus.
Clay Travis (1:34)
This is why people tune into the Daily Wire, to get the news.
Andrew Klavan (1:37)
Plotinus thinking, thickens.
Clay Travis (1:39)
Yeah, exactly. By the way, we haven't even gotten to what Augusto says about Plotinus.
Isabel Brown (1:43)
I may be wrong by the way.
Andrew Klavan (1:44)
Wait, isn't that Clay Travis? I know him. I've seen Clay Travis before. He is indeed.
Clay Travis (1:50)
If you guys are like, hey, what does he keep looking at? The Atlanta Braves are playing the Philadelphia Eagles in a Philadelphia Phillies in game two, which Major League Baseball is inexplicably slotted at 2 PM Eastern for potentially three straight days. I have the game directly above us.
I promise that I'm not totally absent here. I'm just making sure I'm on top of everything. I'm paying attention to nothing.
Andrew Klavan (2:16)
I'm taking wild guess that you're rooting for Atlanta here.
Clay Travis (2:19)
That's a very solid analysis by you to start off the program.
Michael Knowles (2:25)
Clay, before we get into the show, since you're a sports expert, could I just get your expert analysis on the Yankees absolutely obliterating the Boston Red Sox last night, nine to nothing with Ben Rice just doing somersaults around the bases?
Clay Travis (2:41)
Look, I am the probably the number one Atlanta Braves fan only in the last decade, right? Because my kids have gotten me all into it.
But Yankees Red Sox, one of the all time great rivalries in all of sports. And I was watching that last night. My kids were staying up late to watch the Cubs play against the Padres as well. And there's just an embarrassment of riches. October is, I know we're in the last day of September, or basically in October, by far, I think, the best month for American sports fans. And it's just an embarrassment of riches. Like every minute of the day, you can basically kick back and be watching absolute top tier games. And so I was watching last night and hopefully the Braves will end the hated Philadelphia Phillies season today. And I'm closely monitoring the situation as the kids like to say.
Michael Knowles (3:38)
Yeah, but hold on, Clay, because you're in politics and in sports, and that seemed like a big filibuster because specifically, I just want to hear you talk about the humiliation that the Boston Red Sox endured last night in that beautiful first game of the wild. Anyway, we'll get into all those things.
Clay Travis (3:54)
The problem you have is Red Sox fans suffered literally four generations, almost five generations of humiliation for the Babe Root trade. But for the young Boston area sports fan, the last 20 years, they dominated New York area sports fans.
Boston was the lovable loser city in that New York-Boston rivalry. And about 15 or so years ago, 20 years ago, Boston turned into the dominant sports city. They win championships across every sport. And until the next, the city of New York had been really struggling for basically a generation. So I don't think it has the same sting anymore.
