Radio host Clay Travis blasted a story from The Atlantic that centers on separating sports by sex. The article drew the ire of the “Clay & Buck” host Tuesday. 

“Separating Sports by Sex Doesn’t Make Sense” appeared in The Atlantic last weekend. 

Travis called the article one of the “dumbest stories he’d ever seen.” He added that it marked the natural evolution of the argument that men can compete against women. 

“The whole Lia Thomas madness where you had a dude who decided to become a woman and then became the greatest woman swimmer of the year in college athletics. Left-wingers are just going to say we need to have a unisex category,” he said.  

Travis stated writer Maggie Mertens trots out things that aren’t true. 

Mertens wrote that school sports are typically self-segregated, and decades of research has shown that sex is far more complex than we may think. Her reporting is based on a Bronx, New York girl named Shira Mandelzis who tries out for her school football team.

“This has become a big deal,” Travis observed. “Biology isn’t true to left-wingers anymore. Let me be clear here, there is no chick in America that is going to be faster than Usain Bolt. There is no one in the history of women’s athletics who is going to be as great a quarterback as Tom Brady.” 

Travis said tennis great Serena Williams is a prime example of why sports should be separated by sex. He said several professional tennis players told him that as great of talent as Williams was, she wouldn’t make it on many top-level NCAA Division 1 team. 

“Some of these quotes in this story are crazy,” he added.

SiriusXM radio host Howard Stern told “Morning Joe’s” Joe Scarborough and Willie Geist in an extensive interview that MSNBC is the network for him regarding cable news consumption. 

Stern stated that he’s a major fan of “Morning Joe” and went the extra mile to say that he and co-host Joe Scarborough share the same political idealogy.

“I watch you guys every morning,” Stern said (h/t Mediaite). “I really enjoy the show. Oddly, I agree politically with almost everything Joe says. I don’t think there’s much difference there.”

The radio host thanked MSNBC for providing him with what he loves: 24/7 news. Additionally, Stern offered a shoutout to network host Symone Sanders and stated he’s no fan of Dateline repeats.

“By the way, I want to give a shoutout to MSNBC,” Stern added. “Thank God you don’t play the old Datelines anymore on the weekends. I like news. I watch this channel exclusively for news. I tune out on the weekend. 

“It’s like all news stuff. I’m watching old Datelines. I like when you guys are onI like news 24/7, and now I find I’m getting it. I get Symone on the weekend. Big fan of hers. Symone coming on strong. What can I tell you? I know the whole lineup.”

Charges against John DePetro have been dismissed as the radio host faced a trespassing charge related to an incident over the summer during a Monday court hearing.

DePetro was arrested in mid-August outside a home on Staples Avenue in Warwick.

Police searched the house several months earlier as part of an investigation into the disappearance of Charlotte Lester, who has been missing for six months.

“I respect our justice system and respect law enforcement, specifically the Warwick PD,” DePetro said on Twitter. “The search for Charlotte Lester continues as I resume efforts searching for answers into her disappearance and holding Mark Perkins accountable for his actions against myself and Ladybug.”

The man who lives there, Mark Perkins, was also arrested the following day after he allegedly charged at DePetro with a lawnmower while DePetro was live-streaming. 

Unlike DePetro, who had his charges dismissed, Perkins still faces an assault charge, according to court records.

Champlin Broadcasting Conservative Talk The Eagle 96.9 KQOB Enid/Oklahoma City and 1640 KZLS Enid will look a little different for its listeners as the station has rebranded.

The station features a syndicated lineup, including Hugh Hewitt, Brian Kilmeade, Dan Bongino, Mike Gallagher, Joe Pags, and Bill O’Reilly. Furthermore, with the rebrand possibly comes a new addition.
