The TexTenn Podcast

What do you do when your kid gets handed a fourth-place medal? If you're Keith's son, you toss it straight in the trash. In this week's episode, we talk about raising kids who can win with grace—and lose with even more of it. From hilarious sports stories to hard parenting truths, we cover the stuff that happens when you're trying to raise future adults… not trophy collectors. 💬

Keith and Clay go back and forth about childhood sports, including Annabelle mopping the floor with boys at basketball camp 🏀 and Graham's venture into agility training 💪. We also get into why Keith thinks participation trophies should be illegal (okay, maybe not illegal—but definitely unnecessary).

Things get real when we shift into a conversation about the chaos happening across the country. Riots, looting, ICE protests, and everything in between—plus why both the extreme left and extreme right are doing more harm than good. 😤

This episode is packed with laughs, a little heat, and a whole lot of honesty. So if you're ready for an unfiltered convo about parenting, politics, and pool party snubs… we got you. 🎙️🇺🇸

Ever tried to explain TSA rules, parenting fails, and school sticker scandals—all in one conversation? 😂 This episode is a mashup of hilarious personal stories, strong opinions, and genuine family moments you won't want to miss.

Keith and Clay catch up on everything from awkward travel experiences (hello, diaper bag inspections ✈️) to overpowered teen store clerks and popcorn bag drama 🍿. Keith also lets Graham hop on the mic to share his school's Bluff Bucks controversy—how a perfectly good sticker hustle was shut down, and what he's planning to do next. Spoiler: this kid has more entrepreneurial drive than most adults. 💼

There's also some solid baseball talk ⚾, playful family rivalry (Team Tennessee vs. Team Kentucky 👀), and a bit of theater camp commentary that shows just how different siblings can be. And of course, the episode wraps with the kind of father-son banter that keeps things fun, honest, and full of personality.

If you've ever been a parent, a kid with a business idea, or just someone who's argued with a 16-year-old over store policy, this episode will hit home. Tap play and hang out with the TexTenn crew. 🎧

Is cancel culture finally losing steam? In this episode, we talk about how sharing your faith in public doesn't seem as risky as it used to, and honestly, we're glad to see it. Athletes, creators, even teenagers are out here repping Jesus without worrying about getting canceled. 🙌✝️

We bring up Tim Tebow (because how could we not?) and how he might've been a little ahead of his time. We talk through why he got pushed out of the NFL faster than some guys with half the talent, and how that would probably play out differently today.

We also talk about Graham's almost-protest at school, the psychology of using Do Not Disturb, contact lenses that refuse to stay put, Keith's new running shoes that somehow shaved 10 seconds off his mile, and Sephora making power moves on 11-year-olds. 😅📱👟

There's faith, there's football, there's a flipped truck with half a gallon of tequila in the front seat. It's a ride. Hit play and hang with us.

Look, we tried to keep it focused, but when Siri won't cooperate, Caitlin Clark's out here breaking records, and this dad's baseball team still lost… you know it's going to be one of those episodes. 😅

Clay and I sat down to catch up, and it turned into a bit of everything, baseball updates (yes, this dad's baseball team still lost, again), Caitlin Clark doing things no one else in the WNBA has ever done 🏀, and me just trying to get Siri to play one dang Taylor Swift song without throwing a tantrum. Spoiler alert: Siri won't cooperate.

Somewhere in there, we also talk about parenting, youth sports, and why ChatGPT is now apparently helping my daughter launch a jewelry business. Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark keeps breaking records, and this dad's baseball team still lost because apparently coaching is harder than it looks.

If nothing else, we prove one thing: Siri won't cooperate, but we still show up and talk through the chaos. And hey, if you're listening all the way through, text Clay the word "sardine." Trust me. 🐟

What happens when one of the hosts jokingly tries to quit the podcast… and the other decides they should switch lives for a week? 😂 That's exactly how this week's TexTenn episode begins, and from there, it only gets wilder.

Keith and Clay get into a hilarious debate about communication styles, phone sleep settings, and why Clay refuses to use Do Not Disturb (spoiler: Keith is not okay with that). Then, things take a heartwarming turn when Keith shares how his 10-year-old son Graham sparked a school protest over sticker sales... Yes, Sticker Gate 2025 is officially a thing! From childhood sales strategies to parenting philosophies, this part's got both laughs and life lessons.

They also weigh in on absurd internet debates (🦍 vs. 100 men? 100 Brits vs. Waffle House staff? Let's go!), why Keith now identifies as an astronaut like Katy Perry 🚀, and what it's like being a youth sports parent navigating a new soccer league and more travel headaches.

There's no shortage of random in this one, but it's the kind of random that makes you laugh, nod, and wonder how they even got here. Hit play and enjoy the ride!

What do you get when you mix 100 men, one angry gorilla, and a Trump-as-Pope AI image? Yeah… we don't know either, but we sure had a lot of fun talking about it. 🦍💥👑

In this episode, we unpack some of the weirdest things floating around the internet right now—like whether 100 average guys could take down a silverback gorilla, or if Trump could technically become Pope (and if nominating yourself is frowned upon… asking for a friend). We also swap stories about SEC baseball drama, bluff bucks gone rogue, and a next-level flag trolling move that deserves a round of applause.

Somehow, we still manage to squeeze in Cubs vs Braves loyalty debates, our kids' entrepreneurial schemes, protest culture in 100° Texas heat, and a whole lot of "what are we even doing" moments. We even give a shout-out to Mae in the Philippines 🇵🇭 and chat about where we'd actually want to travel—and where we wouldn't go even if you paid us.

It's random. It's ridiculous. And honestly, it's kind of classic TexTenn.

So here's the deal: baseball's supposed to be fun, right? But somehow this week, we ended up with a kid getting drilled twice by the same pitcher, a coach losing his mind and getting tossed mid-game, and an umpire just straight-up walking off the field. Oh yeah… and my 10-year-old son? He took that same kid down with a strikeout. 💪

In this episode, we're talkin' all things baseball; from Little League mayhem to college stadium comebacks and even a little Savannah Bananas chaos. Y'all… if you haven't seen a guy catch a pop fly with his hat or pitch from stilts, are you even watching baseball? 🤷‍♂️

We also swap stories about Wes Welker, Texas Tech days, and why getting older means your team losing doesn't ruin your whole week anymore (well… most of the time). And yes, we still found time to throw shade at each other's college teams. Wouldn't be a TexTenn episode without it. 😉

Hit play and hang out with us for a bit… we'll laugh, we'll rant, and we'll remind you that even when baseball gets weird, it's still the best kind of chaos.

🏆 So… Kentucky wins, Clay trolls me, and I completely lose it. 😂 That's where we're starting today, folks. Clay went all in, even hung a Kentucky Wildcats banner just to rub it in. I might've threatened to call his mom about it. No regrets. 🏀

Then somehow we ended up talking about me teaching a college class this week… and let me tell you, these kids have been brainwashed. We went from ChatGPT to saving the earth to water bottles and windmills... it was a mess. 🤦‍♂️💻🌎

We also got into how fast the world's changing with AI, why college ain't what it used to be, and how robots might be selling tractors before Clay knows it. 🤖 (Spoiler alert: he'll probably still be cheering for Kentucky.)

Anyway, buckle up. It's a mix of sports heartbreak, college kid madness, and a little bit of real talk about the future. 🎙️

🎤 Why do we even have reunions… or podcasts? 🤔

In this episode of TexTenn, things get personal and hilarious, as Clay shares stories from his 30-year high school reunion (yep, he's officially that old 😅). From classmates who flew in from New York to friends who dodged the invite altogether, it's a full-circle moment that sparks a fun conversation about aging, reconnecting, and sneaky presidential strategies from the past (yes, they rigged the student council elections to avoid planning reunions: genius or shady?).

Keith jumps in with stories of upcoming family trips, fishing plans gone dusty, and why Clay's been "enabled" into old man status (contacts, trolling motors, and all). They both open up about how weird it feels to have people actually listening to the podcast… and how even their own family members can't believe they're on one.

🎧 Along the way, you'll hear:

• 🤫 The behind-the-scenes reunion plotting from their teenage years

• 😂 Clay's contact lens adventures (spoiler: the lens was hiding in his eyelid)

• 🎣 Big summer plans involving snook, tarpon, and trolling motors

• 🤨 Why Clay hijacked Keith's podcast and his brother's confused reaction

If you've ever questioned why people go to reunions or how your side hobby turned into a real thing people actually follow, you'll feel right at home here.

What do stickers, bluff bucks, and a fourth-grade cartel have in common? Apparently, entrepreneurship runs in the family - just not everyone's a fan of it 😅

In this episode, we unpack Graham's bold (and honestly, brilliant) sticker-selling scheme at school. After spotting a gap in the school's "Bluff Bucks" economy, he launched his own underground sticker empire 💸📦, complete with profit-sharing and distribution partners. Everything was going great… until the teachers caught wind of it. Instead of a high five, Graham got a mark. Was it a harmless hustle or a punishable offense? We've got thoughts.

We also share the all-too-relatable pain of bad hires 🚫🧑‍🔧, a wild story involving diesel exhaust fluid, and one Kentucky fan's hot take on Tennessee fans (spoiler: Keith disagrees passionately 🧡). Oh, and Clay finally put in his contacts in under four minutes, so there's that 👀

This episode is packed with laughs, dad pride, sports smack talk, and a whole lot of opinions. Stick around till the end for talk of future young guests on the pod—you won't want to miss it.
