  Speaker 1: by Danny the guy that famously Danny's from Nashville, but
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: he lives in Miami now and he listens to the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: podcast because he works with the dreaded day Shift and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Danny came to visit us here in Los Angeles and
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: hid in the bushes outside the studio. He literally hid
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: in the bushes outside the studio. That's his claim to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: fame with the show. This portion of the program made
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: possible in part by our friends at ti Iraq. For
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: over forty years, that's two generations, ty Iraq has been
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: helping customers find the right tires for how, what and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: where they drive, ship fast and freeback by free road
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: hazard protection, with convenient installation. I know, Ferg Dog, that's
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: a big deal. Ferg Dog always says that's a big deal.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: That in pickles, big deal. And those convenient installation options
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: like mobile tire installation, and they'll even come to Ferg
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Dog's mom's house where he lives there. Tire rack dot Com,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the Way Tire Buying show'd be so our lead this hour.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: There was some debate in the newsroom that I have
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: a couple of I'm like blind Scott, I've got multiple
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: personalities and there's a couple of voices. I would like
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to put it as a newby knight. So today is
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: a Newbie night, which means all new colors. So Mike
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the Leprechaun out blind Scott out, no moss for hollering, James,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Lucky Tony, No, No, that's a blow to me. No
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Lucky Tony, I cannot do it. Jeedhu fled not gonna
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: be Now, what's gonna happen here? What normally happens is
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: some of the regulars the are such attention whos that
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: they will attempt to call up with fake voice and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: try to get past the goalkeeper. So you have to
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: listen to see if any of the regulars get on
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: with an alias. Always a fun degree of difficulty to
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Newby Knight is which regulars are so desperate for airtime
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that they will use Now angry Bill used to do
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: this all the time. But Bill has some health problems.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: He didn't call a show much anymore. So, But who's
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: going to step off? That's the question. So it is
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a newbie night. I'll give out the number in a
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: little bit. I got a ranch here. It's called a
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Mallard monologue. At the top of every hour, every hour
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: on the hour, it's a Malard monologue. Boom, just like that.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: So I was going to lead the show with a
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: different story. However, my brigadier generals in the Malad militia.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I listen when they speak, So I really want to
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: tip the cap to Justin and Cincinnati and Robbie the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Mariner Fan. They reached out to me. I was sleeping
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and I woke up to a couple of frantic messages.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Justin in Cincinnati specifically requested that I lead off the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: show with this story. Justin said, you know, he just
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: loves love. I think that's what he said. He just
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: loves love, and he plays a schmuck on social media,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: complete a hole all that, but it's just an act.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: It's just performance art. That's all he does. And they said,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: both Robbie the Mariner Fan and Justin and Cincinnati. The
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: way I interpreted their messages was that I would be
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: committing a sports talk radio felony if I avoided the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Komodo dragon in the room, the story that everyone's been
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: yapping about here, it's crossover story. So boys, your wish
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: is my command. Tabloyd Mallord has arrived. Tada, Yeah, I know. Well,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: we do broadcasting, not narrow cash and play the hits.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Mom Man, what of our old bosses used to say?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: So Taylor Swift, I'm told she's kind of a big deal.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I'm told she's kind of a big deal. Taylor Swift,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: who apparently does some singing and gets paid for and
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, who used to be good at football, and
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: then I don't know what that was in the Super
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Bowl last year. Anyway, they're now engaged. Oh my god,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: sweet baby Jesus, they're engaged. They announced the news in
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a joint post on The Graham very exciting. Kelsey went
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: into a garden, a literal garden. I don't know where
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the garden was, and he asked Taylor Swift, the most
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: famous woman in the world, I'm told to marry him,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: and apparently she said yes, So there you go. All right,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: So how does that work in sports radio? How is
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: that a sports talk radio talking point? Well, you're about
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: to find out. So let's discuss the question. What are
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the chances that Travis Kelcey pulled off a shock engagement?
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: That this was a surprise, this was unexpected, that this
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: came out of nowhere. So I got on this one.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I've got waffle House, humped back Whale, and and Roman Candle,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: we are going to make your Babushka's favorite gulash is
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: what we're going to do for your babushka. We're going
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: to do that, all right. So A to answer the question,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the chances that Travis Kelsey pulled off a shock engagement
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: that Taylor Swift had no idea that he was going
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: to pop the question, Uh, the chances are slimming none,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: And slim took the first flight out of Dodge see
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: you later. This was obviously carefully curated for human consumption.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: For your consumption, I guess from mine. I slept, I was,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I woke up to it. But yeah, if you had,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: you had the photos, you had the diamond ring, which
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I guess could could like use as a reflector for
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: mahomes on deep passes and all that stuff. Uh. And
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: they had a little cute post there, your English teacher
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: and your gym teacher are getting married. I never had
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: an English teacher like that. I never had a gym
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: teacher like that. I did not have a gym teacher
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: that looked like that. I had a gym teacher that
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: wore short shorts, had a whistle around his neck and
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: really short shorts. And then I had a lot of
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: English teachers that were very old, very old and had
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: been beaten by life. That's what I had. That's what
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I had. But this was cute, folksy, quirky, you know,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, all those words right there, and it
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: was blasted across every single corner of the world wide
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: web there within seconds, the interweb all over the place.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Now does that sound organic? That maybe the back of
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the room it sounds organic. Possibly the back of the
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: answer is sure. If organic means like tupperware, there's a
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: place somewhere. I think it's in South America where they
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: grow tupperware. No, and we've learned this actually happened two
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: weeks ago. This is a two week old story. It
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: didn't get out for two weeks. Now, nothing I understand.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Nothing in celebrity culture is organic. It does not exist. Now,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: organic is a marketing term, we should point that out.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: But organic is you know what organic is? An organic
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: proposal is going to Now this guy we met Dante
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: in Vegas and his plan he's going to do this.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, this guy's become loaded, a rich, loaded
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: guy with waffle house. He's going to open the first
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: waffle house in Vegas. So the organic way to propose
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: is to ten years from Now go to Dante's waffle
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: House in Vegas in the parking lot at three in
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the morning while eating the sausage egg gritz bowl, and
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: you've got the ring still in the You got the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: ring and he came out of a plastic claw machine.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: The engagement ring came out of a plastic claw machine
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: from inside. And then that's the engagement. Now, this, this
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: was all the Kelsey engagement was obviously chorey craft. It
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: was I would say, months in the making, knowing a
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: little bit about how that world works. And you had
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift's people, You've got Kelsey's got people. See, I
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: don't have people, like when you're that fit, you got people.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I don't have people. You know, we don't. I don't
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: have that. But they got people. You had the jeweler involved.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: So there's a jeweler. You know people. You know, there's
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: got to be a back. So everyone loves a story, right,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: You go to restaurants and the menus at the restaurants store, Well,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: here's our story about huh we became you know, blah
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah. We learned how to make fighter training
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: out for it on in Italy while drunk, you know,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: it's an old family. Everyone's got to have a story, right.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Everyone loves a story. We learned from stories. It's very
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: big deal. So you gotta have a story. It's it's
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: not just an engagement ring. There's a story to it, right,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: It's got some special meaning that will come out. It's
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: all hands on deck, all hands on deck and uh.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: And of course it's not a love story so much,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: even though Justin and Cincinnati told me it was a
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: love story and Robbie the Mariner fan. It's an event.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: It's an event, and yet it's it's also in weird
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: way it is sporty. Right. That's the part that kind
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: of fascinates me that this is somehow he's sports story,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: but apparently it is. And page two, will there be
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: a prenup? Will there be a prenup? Between Taylor Swift
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: and Travis Kelcey? Okay, so it does a humpback whale
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: swim in the ocean? Does a humpback will Swift? Of course?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: But he just saw Tyreek Hill who got married for
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: was his seventeen months, and he gave the woman he
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: was with five hundred thousand dollars for seventeen months plus
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: like twenty grand a month to spend, because we all
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: need twenty grand a month to spend plus a five
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: million dollar house, plus lawyer fees, plus this plan. So
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: you cant dollars to donuts, dollars to absolutely right? Come
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: on now, of course you better believe there is going
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: to be a prenup here that Taylor Swift's legal team,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: her lawyers have already draft did a prenup up that
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I believe runs longer than the United States Constitution. It's
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: bigger than the US Constitution. And Travis Kelce is rich.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: It's not like Travis Kelsey doesn't have money. He's rich. However,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift is wealthy. There is a difference between rich
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: and wealthy, and that's the point of demarcation, right, that's
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: the point of demarketing. So does this engagement end in marriage?
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Not all engagements end in marriage. History tells us that
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: when it comes to celebrity engagements, it's a benny versus
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the penny situation. It's a coin flip, it's a qui
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: has Taylor Swift already written a song about this? How
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: about that? You think she's already got a song in
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the tank? Hell? Yes, absolutely, it's either on her phone's
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: notes app, like I put a lot of stuff on
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: my notes app on my phone, Like I'll have a
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: random thought. I was driving in and I had there
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: was something I want it ran about on the podcast.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna save it for this weekend. But there was
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: something I saw that really annoyed me, and I used
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: my weekend podcast this is therapy to complain about things
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: that annoyed me. So I saw this and I said,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I want to rant about that because that really annoyed me.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: So I'll do that at some point this weekend. But
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I use the notes avange. So she's probably put it
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: on there, or other people wrote the song for her,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: or maybe it's already been recorded. Who knows? Will they Elope?
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Will they? Absolutely not? You think they're going to Elope.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: They're not eloping. They're not going to the Elvis Chapel
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: in Vegas with our favorite taxi cab driver from Boston
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: who lives in Vegas. He's not gonna take him to
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the Elvis Chapel for a shotgun wedding. That is not happening.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: And I've been told by people that are very important,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and this is American Royalty. This is an American royal wedding.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: We've never had an American royal wedding. They put those
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: other weddings from Europe on and they get big numbers,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: big numbers, and so this thing will be it'll be tell, guys, commercialized.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: You'll have the Swifties all over it, right, they'll be there.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: You've got the chiefs Kingdom and Kelsey's crowd. They'll they'll
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: be blending together in one giant ven diagram right there,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: adoring fans. Oh my, wonderful. And of course I am
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: not a fan of either. I don't hate either or
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: anything like that, but I'll just be along for the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: ride here. Some of you have sent me email telling
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: me that Travis Kelsey made a deal with the devil
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: and he's a lizard person. Now, so maybe that's the case.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the case or not. But listen,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I'll consume this. I'm in the content business. I will
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: consume it. I will mock it. That's what I do.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I get paid to consume things and to mock things.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: And I'll either secretly love it or hate it, or
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of both, And that's fine. That's
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the business. I've chosen that's what we do here. That's
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: also what you do as well. We all have strong opinions.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: It's the culture and it's sports, but it's not sports
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: except when it is sports. And now I gotta tell
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: you personally, I have not this is something that's changed
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: in my life time. I have not understood the obsession
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: of the tight end celebrity. I don't understand. It's something
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: that did not exist in my childhood. This is a
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: thing that has happened as I've grown and become an adult.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm not smart enough to figure it out.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: But back in my day, here's a back in my
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: day story. A tight end was a glorified offensive lineman.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: That's what a tight end was. And occasionally the tight
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: end would catch a pass, but really only if the
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: quarterback got bored, they'd throw the tight end a pass,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: and that's about it. That's about it. Now they're dating
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: pop stars, Now they're engaging in hosting podcasts, they're on
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: television like Gronkowski and all that stuff, and they're auditioning
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: for roles in movies. These tight ends. What a amazing
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: dacotomy from what it had been the tight end position.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey's out there. He's galloping around like a golden
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: retriever who found a glitter cannon. And that's pretty much
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: like now. Now the last word on this on a
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: newbie night, the last word does Chiefs tight end Travis
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Kelsey's engagement? Did Taylor Swift mean Asta la vista? The
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five NFL season is going to be? All
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: she wrote? Is that? It?
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: So?
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: If you look at this from thirty thousand feet up
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: in the sky, Travis Kelsey is going the old Aerosmith
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Piece Out farewell tour. He's doing the old peace Out
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: farewell tour on this. Before he trades in the playbook,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: he's going to give the playbook back and he's going
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: to get some horribly cheesy movie scripts. And you can
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: play another waiter in a future Adam Sandler movie. Knock
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: yourself out here. Now, the Chiefs will not say their
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: brass will not say retirement the R word. They won't
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: say retirement. But I promise you they're already preparing a statue,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: whether it be at Arrowhead or whether it be at
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: another venue in the Greater Kansas City slash Kansas, you know,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: across the state line there in the greater Kansas City area. Well,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: we have a lot of friends. You know, the show
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: has done very well there. I recommend when they get
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the wedding, I believe the people that should take care
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: of the food. Everyone's worried about wedding food. What better
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: at the Travis Kelcey wedding to Taylor Swift than the
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: landing in Liberty, Missouri? Serving Ben Mallard chicken fingers at
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the Kelsey Taylor Swift wedding. Perfect, They're right there. It's
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: a people think of Kansas City as a barbecue city,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: but really it's a in many ways, it's more of
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: a chicken finger city. Would just be perfect, would just
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: be absolutely perfect. But you'll get a statue, get a
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: you know, they'll tribute video and all this stuff. Now
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: this is not just random late night speculation, is not.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: It is the slow motion exit, the slow motion and
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: then you've got the Swifties soundtrack that's playing underneath this
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: and Kelsey's body kind of like the haunted mansion at
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Disney's creaking a little bit a little bit. His yards
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: per catch numbers going down, down, down, down, down, down
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: down down down. That Super Bowl performance, My god, that
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: was about as flat as a Taylor Swift final record.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: That was Wow. My god. Now Kelsey, not only is
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: he aging in front of our eyes, he's also his
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: future is this he's auditioning. This is his future as
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a distant relative of Nostradamis and friend of Nostra Denis.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: He lives in Seattle. I saw him again. We had
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: a pow wow in Vegas with his wife, who's very
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: nice woman. Except she's a vegan anyway, So vegetarian being
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: in the same anyway to me, it's the same thing.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: So here's the future of Travis Kelcey. I've looked into
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: the future. His future is auditioning for the role of
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: former athlete Number three in the upcoming Netflix rom com
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: to be named later. That's what he's got in the future.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: And he's got I know who he's got his little
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: meatthead podcast. I know the meathead megaphone. You guys love
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: jock talk, And there you go, got Travis Kelcey and
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: his other meathead brother, Jason Kelcey. The two meatheads, two
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: slobs of meat right there, slabs of meat talking and
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: they can riff a couple of retired dudes and have
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: that little ring light on and that's the way to
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: do it right. Everyone loves audio content. Everyone's got a
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: podcast these days. Why not Travis kelcey, He'll be going
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: out like a Roman candle. Just like a Roman candle
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: here a loud, flashy and slightly off target. It's a
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: little off target. And then in retirement, Travis Kelsey can
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: ride Taylor Swift's bejeweled body suits right right, why not?
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: And uh pot of gold at the end of the
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: rainbow and all that stuff. So Kelsey's storybook ending. That's it.

  Speaker 1: end of our week.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I do a podcast on the weekend, but during the week,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: those are the nights that we broadcast. So we are
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: on Sunday night in the Monday after the NFL card
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: on Sunday, we're on Monday night into Tuesday. After the
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Monday night NFL games, we're on Thursday and Friday after
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: the NFL doesn't leave us a lot of time for
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: college football, it just doesn't. We pick our spots. We
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: pick our spots, which normally means we just focus on
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: the big names. We focus on the big names in
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: college football and that's about it, or some goofy story
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: that gets our attention. So the big game this weekend
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: is Oozing with Aura. Oozing with Aura, Ohio State dotting
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: the I trying to dot the Longhorns from Texas in
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: the Horseshoe. It's on Fox this weekend. Kind of a
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: big deal. So the Buck guys have already banned David
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Portnoy over at Barstool. All the barstool people have been
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: banned in an embarrassing mister softy move by the Ohio
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: State University. Why god. So, Texas comes into this game
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: as the number one, number one team in both the
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Associated Press Top twenty five and the Coaches poll. They're
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: still around, and that is how we begin the season.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: The preseason poll has Texas right at the very top
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: of the mountain. Okay, and if you look at your
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: gambling odds, you see that right there there. It is
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: around DraftKings odds, subject to change. Arch Manning is the
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Heisman favorite. He is the quarterback for the University of Texas.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: There So arch Manning, who has issued a prepared statement,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Arch Manning about his team's place in the order going
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: into the college football season. If he saw this or not,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: maybe not, So I thought it was interesting. So arch
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Manning the next in the line, the lineage of the
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Manning family. So arch Manning says regarding Texas going into
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: this game, says, we don't have the target on our back.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Arch Manning said, we've got the red dot on everyone else,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: all right, So let us discuss the question buy or sell,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Buy or sell Texas quarterback arch Manning not having a
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: bullseye on his back. So my observations, I got Jeff Bezos,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: bubble bath, and alphabet soup, and we will combine all
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to make
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: a delicious pastrami sandwich is what We're gonna make. Some
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: onions in there, oh, perfect chef's kiss. All right, so
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: number nice numb right now. So I'm gonna sell this, Okay,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I am going to sell this. Arch Manning saying Texas
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: does not have the proverbial target on their back is
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: kind of like the Kardashians saying they don't really want attention. Okay,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: let me, what are you doing? Please? Now, you can't
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: be the Heisman favorite, at least in the world. I
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: believe in the Mallard multiverse, but in my part of
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the multiverse, you cannot be the Heisman Trophy favorite, the
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: face of the sport, the only real star college football has,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: the golden child of the Manning monarchy. And then try
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: to play that We're just another team. I'm just another quarterback,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: that whole thing. You can't play that card. Not allowed. Sorry,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: not sorry, not sorry. It's akin to Jeff Bezos trying
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: to convince us that Amazon is just a small mom
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: and pop business. That's all it is. It's all it is,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: that's all it is. Because listen, Arch Manning, the hype
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: on this kid is next level, right. The Longhorns are
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: at the very top based on all of the noise
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: of the hype food chain. They are the kings of
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: the hype jungle. Congratulations on it. They're the Philemennon at
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: a Golden Corral buffet. They are that. And every college
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: football scribe and network, every radio gash bag and wanna
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: be podcast star drooling to get a taste. And I'm
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: in line, I'm online, I am and arch Manning, he
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: is the five star dessert. At least, if you believe
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: all the stories that are out about college fall, arch
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Manning is the five star dessert being carted out, wheeled
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: out with the sparklers. You know, those nice desserts they
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: have the chocolate drizzle at high end establishments. Yeah, and
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: you don't get to sit there in the spotlight. I
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: don't believe. What do I know? You don't sit there
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: on the spotlight and claim, well, I mean really in
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: the shadows. Well, no, there's a spotlight on you. You're
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: not You're not exactly in the shadows. That's not at all.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: He's talking about hunting other teams. Arch Manning the Texas quarterback,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: you know, hunting other teams and all that stuff. And uh,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: and Texas is the the gazelle out in the open prairie.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: There they're running around and every lion in the savannah
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: has circled them. That's the reality right there. The gazelle.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: They say they're the Longhorns, but they're the gazelle in
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: this and that burnt orange jersey that Texas is known
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: for there, you know, might as well be camouflage. But
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: in reverse here, you know, it's screams, come get me, Bra,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: That's what it's. Come get me, Bra, That's what it's screams.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: The Manning family, I don't know how many times you
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: have to say this. I'm not saying this. It bothers me.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: But they're the royal family of football. Blah blah blah
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: blah blah. Archie, I've determined. I've looked at the the
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: family chart there the family tree. So arch Archie Manning
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: was the founding father. You all determined that Peyton Manning
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: was King Mike and then Eli, who he famously dubbed
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: the punk, very mediocre NFL quarterback, but he became Prince
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Clutch in the postseason. And then you've got arch Then
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: you have arch Manning. So where does he fall in
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: the Manning lineage? So Arch Manning is the heir to
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the throne for now, he is the king hype. The
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: first he's king hype. The first is the way that
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: he is the show pony, arch Manning. So he's the
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: show pony in a world full of plow horses in
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: college football. There's a lot of plow horses in college football,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: a lot. And so you know, Texas might not they
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: might not have won the championship because they didn't last year.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: It's been a few years, but they did win the
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: headline championship. And in the game of publicity there at
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: the very top, the very top they are for this
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: college football season, something that Jones would love. They're like
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys of college football. They're bigger than their results, right,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: bigger than arch Manning started two games last year. Two
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: that was it, you know, used in two games. And
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: so the Cowboys though, in terms of the hype and
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, and you know, louder than their record
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: and all that and just being shoved in our fish.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Now they go out and get smoked by the Buckeyes.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: That'll change a little bit, but the arch Manning story
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: doesn't go away that much. Now, speaking of that, we're
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: going to move to a different sport, a different level
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: of the sport. But page two. Here we go to
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: the final decision on the quarterback competition. It's all over.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: The last team left. There was only one that had
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: not named their starting quarterback. We go now to the
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Bayou and that is where the news came out. Question,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: did the Saints make the right call as they picked
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Spencer Rattler as QB one over Tyler Shuck? Aw shucks?
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Did they make the right call? So we had. By
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: the way, before I get into this, let's let's hear
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: the This is Kellen Moore making the announcement. Here the
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: head coach of the Saints. Don't need to remember his name.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: He will not be the coach long, But here's Kellen Moore,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: coach of the Saints.
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: Spencer Ratlers are starring quarterback. Really really excited for him.
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: He's do an awesome job this off season. Oh, he's
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: just been consistent, made some really good decisions throughout this
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: whole entire process, and you know, his ability to make
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: plays with his arm and his feet have certainly shown up.
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: And so I'm really really excited about Spencer. He's earned
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: this opportunity.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I literally see his nose growing in the video
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: there as he was saying that he does not believe
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: any of that, So there was no right call to
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: make here the way I read the room, here, there
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: was no right call to make. We mentioned in previous
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: episodes you talk about being stuck between the devil and
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: the deep blue sea. This is it, right. You got
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: a rookie head coach, Kellen Moore, who's in this case
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: not the devil in the deep blue c He's snuck,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: but he was stuck between. He's got a rattlesnake bite
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: or a scorpion sting. Which one would you rather have?
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: He chose King Colber. He chose King Colber. And essentially
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: the Saints are going to be taking a bubble bath
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: in snake Venom with Spencer Rattler and Moore has a
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Kellimore has a reputation, whether it's true or not, of
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: masking quarterback limitations, which is really what good coaching is.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: You're hiding the limitations of your player. And so we
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: all know that, and that you talk about putting that
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: to the test here with Spencer Ratler, who has masters.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: He's only played a little bit in the NFL, but
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: he played a lot in college football at Oklahoma and
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: South Carolina. Spencer Ratler has become the maestro of inconsistent
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: pocket presence and really bad decision making, which is a
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: death sentence if you're playing quarterback in the NFL. It's
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: more likely than not that Spencer Ratler is just a means. Now,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: what is the end game, you ask arch Manning. That's
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: the endgame. These Saints have the NFL's lowest playoff odds,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: less than four percent in the league. That is designed
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: to give everyone the false hope of having a chance
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. The Saints have a less than
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: four percent chance based on the gaming odds, to make
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. They have an expected win total, which blows
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Ozzie wase Away of five point two. Five point two. Now,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: keep in mind, the Saints have no depth, so once
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: these guys start getting hurt, everyone has injuries. That's why
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: it works. They have no depth, so they'll be getting
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: guys off off or up, like hey, I put a
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: job posting on offer ups. Well, there's no plus for jobs.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: But they'll be trying to get anyone to play on
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: the offensive line. So, and keep in mind the Saints
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: playing a division, you know the division, I mean the
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: division blows Carolina, Come on, Atlanta, who knows whether Michael
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Pennix Junior is going to be that good in Tampa
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: has been a playoff team, but they don't scare anybody,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, they don't really scare anybody, all right now,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: final point to the Bay Area we go follow up,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: follow up to a transaction. So Brian Robinson, we mentioned
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: this the other he got traded from the team. Fomian
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: knows the Redskins to the San Francisco football team, and
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: already he's out there with a strong hot take. Brian
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Robinson let the world know that he and Christian McCaffery
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: are the best running back duo in the NFL. So
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: thumbs up, thumbs down, thumbs up, or thumbs down on
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: this one. So this is a give me a break
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: situation that is a big helping of alphabet soup is
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: what that is. Of course, the first thought is what
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: else is he gonna say? Wouldn't that be quite the
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: story if Brian Robinson got to the forty nine ers
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: and said, ah, yeah, I stink and that's why I'm
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: here because I sucked in Washington and they thought I
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: couldn't play anymore, so they gave me to the forty
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: nine Ers and the Niners are a bunch of idiots,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: and they added me. But here's the reality. Brian Robinson's
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: pretty good player, but he was given away, right, And
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: you know what your value is based in that business.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: You know what your value is based on what you
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: were acquired for. Washington shipped I believe it was a
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: late round draft pick to get Brian Robinson. You know,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: they shipped him out for a late round draft pick.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: The Niners gave that up. And so that's the NFL.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: You don't need the mavel Rosetta stone. That's the NFL's
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: way of saying you're a dima. Does it now? The
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: other half of the best duo, Christian mccaffree, who was
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: a really good ballplayer. Unfortunately he's got a glitch. He's
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: made out of glass. The main is made out of it.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: He's unbelievable when he's out there playing for the Niners.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Right Eileen in San Francisco, she loves Washington run around
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: there and her nest O and the Bay and all
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: those they love them. They absolutely love him, Jay Scoop,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: all those Niner apologies out there. They love this guy
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: when he's running around. However, here's the problem. All right,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: he's made out of guys, and you cannot call it
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: the greatest running back. He said, the best, which means
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: we'll get to that in a minute. Best duo if
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: one guy's always camped out in the injury tent and
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: the other guy was basically free with purchase, so they
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: just tossed him in as an add on to sweeten
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: the pot. Best du us, so it's more like the
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: best solo act. And then Brian Robinson is holding the
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: mic stand all right, and so now there are other
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: good combinations. I don't know what we need to do.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: I certainly do I don't want to do a list.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: That's what Terry in England likes. He likes list. I
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: don't do that. I do Big Ben's big board. But
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: just looking around, off the top of my head, if
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: you were to look at other running back combo dishes
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: that stand out, like the Lions when things are going
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: right for Jamir Gibbs and David Montgomery, that's a pretty
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: good one two punch they have in Motown. And dare
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: I say that the Raiders have the makings of something
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: pretty good. If Ashton Genty is as advertised top ten
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: pick in the draft and Raheem Moster. It's been pretty productive.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: He's old, but he's been pretty productive. That's got some explosiveness,
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: it does. And so no, I'm sure I can get
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: a bunch of crap from San Francisco for you. Just
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: compare the Niners to the Lines and the Raiders. What's
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: wrong with you? But remember the term best the legal
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: definition and advertising means as good as all the rest.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: So if I can say we have the best radio
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: show and no one cansume me. If I say our
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: show is better than whoever. I think our competition's on
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: tape anyway. But if I say we're better, then I
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: have to I can be suon. I have to prove
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: it and all that stuff.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: It's mallard, how about that?
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: To the third degree. This is one big Ben gets grilled.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get grilled here. But before we do that,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: I got to pay off the Insta trivia. You got
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: a quick trigger finger there, Lorena.
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: Don't you know it's so sad because I was like, oh,
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: the song has to stop.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: I know, all right, Well, well quickly. Blank was the
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: first rookie quarterback in NFL history to throw at least
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns in each of his first four games as
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: a starter. That is the question. What is the answer,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: and let's see Lassie guessed by Alf the Alleno pinter
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: relevant guests. Who else do we have? Bill? Who's your bill? Want?
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Was something botox Ozzie Guy and I from Robbie the mrierfan.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: What happened to Ozzy Guy? Robbie he used to do
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: that Mallard Town podcast, you guys and then which was
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: nothing about the mather live in here in hell Town
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: but not talking about the Mallard Town. What else? Ferd
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Dog says Robbie the celebrity couple fan. He can't wait
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: for the Aaron Rodgers update, helmet Man and Taylor Swift's
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: love child from Stuck in Sacramento, A snooker from Las Vegas.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: According to Malthard prop guy, a right what say you have?
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: A right out?
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, it has to be Taylor Swiss, bridemaids
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: Selena Gomesh.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: No, it's the great or Jake Cutler. Here we go,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Here we go, Here we go. I don't know, just
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: don't play the open, but we played the music. Go ahead,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: what do we got here?
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: The Lions did not do well in the preseason, going
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: one to three and getting outscored by forty six points.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: Dan Campbell admitted that the performance is quote a little
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: bit concerning, Ben, How concerning should it be?
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: It's only concerning from the standpoint. It shows you that
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: there's a lack of depth for the Lions because you're
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: playing backups in the exhibition season. But no, it doesn't matter,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: and you didn't play your star players, you didn't game plan.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: It is irrelevant. It is irrelevant other than the fact
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: that if you get down to your third string guys,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: you've got some problems, because those are the guys that
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: play most of the exhibition games. And it would appear
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: that Dan Campbell has an issue there in that department. Now,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: if the Lions get off to a horrible start, we
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: can revisit this, but at this point that's my take.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Next, the betting odds are out on who will be
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: the first NFL head coach fired this season, and Mike
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: McDaniel leads the field with two to one odds. Yeah, Ben,
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: do you think McDaniel should be the favorite?
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean, it makes sense that Dolphins they feeling
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: feel like they're at the end of the run. Sean
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: McDermott also has to be high up in Buffalo. They've
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: been so close for so long they can't get over
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: the hump there. And I put Raheem Morris, who's only
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: been in Atlanta for a couple of years. I put
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Raheen Morris on that big board of coaches that are
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: on the hot seat. And also Zach Taylor in Cincinnati.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Bengals are cheap though they don't want to pay anybody,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: but they did spend a lot of money this offseason
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: on wide receivers. And if it doesn't get better there
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, I can see him getting the old whack next.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: Russell Westbrook and his wife's deliberated ten years of marriage
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: together this past weekend by renewing their vows on a
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: boat in Italy. Yeah, been any plan any plans for
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: a bow renewal ceremony with you and your wife?
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Well, this is something that rich people do coop you know,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: poor poor people or people I'm not poor, but people
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: that make middle class money whatever, they don't do this
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. You can renew it at the courthouse exactly.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: This isn't rich. This is a rich person move. This
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: is I have a lot of fu money. So I'm
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: gonna go to Italy and renew my butt. No h
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: and now I'm already past ten years anyway, if unless
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: my wife brings it up, I think we're good on that.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: How'd we do you say? When I want dinner?

• 41:02
  Speaker 1: let's get to it, Lorena. These do you have any
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: opening thoughts or you just love love?
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: And I love that. That's just today's subject on the show.
• 41:08
  Speaker 7: I think it makes it that much more.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: That I would say it's a theme to the show,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: and I feel like they're very strong a statement to
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: say it's a theme. I don't know that we'd say theme.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: But it is the Queen of Hearts, and let's get
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: right to it. Who is up? First year?
• 41:22
  Speaker 7: Did you see the message I sent you?
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we just want to start with that, all right,
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: let's start there, all right? From Anonymous, how do you
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: go through a breakup while you're very attached to her dog?
• 41:35
  Speaker 6: Okay, dogs can be just like children, and if you
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: really do have a strong connection, you have to come
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: up with like split things.
• 41:43
  Speaker 7: You can do custody stuff. You can go to the
• 41:45
  Speaker 7: court and be like, this is also my dog's I.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: Mean, I love dogs, Lorena, but that's a little much,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: you know, come up.
• 41:52
  Speaker 6: I'm obviously Anonymous has a strong connection with this dog,
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: and if they are breaking up, they're going to have
• 41:57
  Speaker 6: to figure out who gets to see who my cat kept.
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: My friend kept her cat in their divorce and he
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: still asks for pictures in the messages.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: Weird, Rena.
• 42:07
  Speaker 7: I mean, you know, I'm just saying just saying, okay,
• 42:09
  Speaker 7: next question, that was it?
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 42:12
  Speaker 7: Do pew right that's not all what I thought you
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: were gonna say.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Should I trust dating a woman with baby daddy issues?
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: That's from Okay, So that's a hard one because a
• 42:25
  Speaker 6: lot of people have baby daddies and baby mamas who
• 42:28
  Speaker 6: are super problematic. Yeah, they don't have They don't have
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: control over it either. So you have to figure out
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: are you down for the ride to do you like
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: her enough or him not?
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Is the goodies good enough for the baddies exactly exactly?
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: And is she responsible enough to keep him far enough
• 42:47
  Speaker 6: away to keep your relationship safe and protected?
• 42:49
  Speaker 7: Something you really got to think about.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Joe and Jersey on the phones.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Who has a question? Hello Joe, you're on the Queen
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: of Hearts with Lorena Marcia. What are you doing here?
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: The first made it through Plucky Tony Cool Plucky Tony
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: Gun on the air. I kind of knew that was
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Tony Ferg Dog rightow ferg Dog rites it? What's the
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: best area to pick up chicks at Disneyland? I'm striking
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: out in Tontown. Don't do Toontown.
• 43:23
  Speaker 7: I would go to Star Wars Land and I would
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: go to the bar over and stall there.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Is a bar.
• 43:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I would do that.
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: And you know what, honestly, if they set up like
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: a date night, like a singles night type of thing,
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: that would be really fun.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: About like Main Street, there's a lot of restaurants around there.
• 43:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but there's more kids over.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: In that area. Stay away from the kids.
• 43:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we don't want kids.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: No, or just how about you just pay for parking
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: and don't go in, just saying out in the parking lot. Yeah.
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: In downtown Disney has a lot of good spots for
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: that too, a lot of little places you can go
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: and eat. You'll find people sitting alone at the bar
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: tops there, so also a good spot to go. Okay,
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: my gosh, if she's looking for cute stuff to buy,
• 43:57
  Speaker 6: you could be like, oh my gosh, that is so cute,
• 43:59
  Speaker 6: you should buy that.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: That sounds just something like Ferd Dog would say. JT,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: the wingman in Knoxville says, if the show can have
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: newbie night, can I convince my fiance that I can
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: add a new lover to the mix? Asking for a friend? Yes,
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: didn't you just get hooked up? JT? What's going on? Man?

• 44:15
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: But really, though, I feel like you should be open
• 44:18
  Speaker 6: about that. And if you if you're interested in opening
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: the doors, maybe your partner might.
• 44:22

  Speaker 1: Oh wow.

  Speaker 6: I mean, if it'd be if I'm afraid to drive
• 44:47
  Speaker 6: the car or not. So I don't know, like a manual,
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: if it's a really expensive car, or if it's a
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: really big car and I don't feel comfortable, Like if
• 44:54
  Speaker 6: it's one of those semi trucks.
• 44:55
  Speaker 7: I'm never driving that ever, and I'd never do it ever.
• 44:57
