Speaker 1: take the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved

19
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: by Danny the guy that famously Danny's from Nashville, but

20
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: he lives in Miami now and he listens to the

21
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: podcast because he works with the dreaded day Shift and

22
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: Danny came to visit us here in Los Angeles and

23
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: hid in the bushes outside the studio. He literally hid

24
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: in the bushes outside the studio. That's his claim to

25
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: fame with the show. This portion of the program made

26
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: possible in part by our friends at ti Iraq. For

27
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: over forty years, that's two generations, ty Iraq has been

28
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: helping customers find the right tires for how, what and

29
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: where they drive, ship fast and freeback by free road

30
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: hazard protection, with convenient installation. I know, Ferg Dog, that's

31
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: a big deal. Ferg Dog always says that's a big deal.

32
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: That in pickles, big deal. And those convenient installation options

33
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: like mobile tire installation, and they'll even come to Ferg

34
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: Dog's mom's house where he lives there. Tire rack dot Com,

35
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: the Way Tire Buying show'd be so our lead this hour.

36
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: There was some debate in the newsroom that I have

37
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: a couple of I'm like blind Scott, I've got multiple

38
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: personalities and there's a couple of voices. I would like

39
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: to put it as a newby knight. So today is

40
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: a Newbie night, which means all new colors. So Mike

41
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: the Leprechaun out blind Scott out, no moss for hollering, James,

42
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: Lucky Tony, No, No, that's a blow to me. No

43
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 1: Lucky Tony, I cannot do it. Jeedhu fled not gonna

44
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: be Now, what's gonna happen here? What normally happens is

45
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: some of the regulars the are such attention whos that

46
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: they will attempt to call up with fake voice and

47
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: try to get past the goalkeeper. So you have to

48
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: listen to see if any of the regulars get on

49
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: with an alias. Always a fun degree of difficulty to

50
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: Newby Knight is which regulars are so desperate for airtime

51
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: that they will use Now angry Bill used to do

52
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: this all the time. But Bill has some health problems.

53
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: He didn't call a show much anymore. So, But who's

54
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: going to step off? That's the question. So it is

55
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: a newbie night. I'll give out the number in a

56
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: little bit. I got a ranch here. It's called a

57
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: Mallard monologue. At the top of every hour, every hour

58
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: on the hour, it's a Malard monologue. Boom, just like that.

59
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: So I was going to lead the show with a

60
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: different story. However, my brigadier generals in the Malad militia.

61
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: I listen when they speak, So I really want to

62
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: tip the cap to Justin and Cincinnati and Robbie the

63
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: Mariner Fan. They reached out to me. I was sleeping

64
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: and I woke up to a couple of frantic messages.

65
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: Justin in Cincinnati specifically requested that I lead off the

66
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: show with this story. Justin said, you know, he just

67
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: loves love. I think that's what he said. He just

68
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: loves love, and he plays a schmuck on social media,

69
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: complete a hole all that, but it's just an act.

70
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: It's just performance art. That's all he does. And they said,

71
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: both Robbie the Mariner Fan and Justin and Cincinnati. The

72
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: way I interpreted their messages was that I would be

73
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: committing a sports talk radio felony if I avoided the

74
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: Komodo dragon in the room, the story that everyone's been

75
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: yapping about here, it's crossover story. So boys, your wish

76
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: is my command. Tabloyd Mallord has arrived. Tada, Yeah, I know. Well,

77
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: we do broadcasting, not narrow cash and play the hits.

78
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: Mom Man, what of our old bosses used to say?

79
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: So Taylor Swift, I'm told she's kind of a big deal.

80
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: I'm told she's kind of a big deal. Taylor Swift,

81
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,119
Speaker 1: who apparently does some singing and gets paid for and

82
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, who used to be good at football, and

83
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: then I don't know what that was in the Super

84
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: Bowl last year. Anyway, they're now engaged. Oh my god,

85
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: sweet baby Jesus, they're engaged. They announced the news in

86
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: a joint post on The Graham very exciting. Kelsey went

87
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: into a garden, a literal garden. I don't know where

88
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: the garden was, and he asked Taylor Swift, the most

89
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: famous woman in the world, I'm told to marry him,

90
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: and apparently she said yes, So there you go. All right,

91
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: So how does that work in sports radio? How is

92
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,679
Speaker 1: that a sports talk radio talking point? Well, you're about

93
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: to find out. So let's discuss the question. What are

94
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: the chances that Travis Kelcey pulled off a shock engagement?

95
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: That this was a surprise, this was unexpected, that this

96
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: came out of nowhere. So I got on this one.

97
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: I've got waffle House, humped back Whale, and and Roman Candle,

98
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and

99
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: we are going to make your Babushka's favorite gulash is

100
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: what we're going to do for your babushka. We're going

101
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: to do that, all right. So A to answer the question,

102
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: the chances that Travis Kelsey pulled off a shock engagement

103
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: that Taylor Swift had no idea that he was going

104
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: to pop the question, Uh, the chances are slimming none,

105
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: And slim took the first flight out of Dodge see

106
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: you later. This was obviously carefully curated for human consumption.

107
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: For your consumption, I guess from mine. I slept, I was,

108
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: I woke up to it. But yeah, if you had,

109
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: you had the photos, you had the diamond ring, which

110
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: I guess could could like use as a reflector for

111
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: mahomes on deep passes and all that stuff. Uh. And

112
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: they had a little cute post there, your English teacher

113
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: and your gym teacher are getting married. I never had

114
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: an English teacher like that. I never had a gym

115
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: teacher like that. I did not have a gym teacher

116
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: that looked like that. I had a gym teacher that

117
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,679
Speaker 1: wore short shorts, had a whistle around his neck and

118
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: really short shorts. And then I had a lot of

119
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: English teachers that were very old, very old and had

120
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: been beaten by life. That's what I had. That's what

121
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: I had. But this was cute, folksy, quirky, you know,

122
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: all that stuff, all those words right there, and it

123
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: was blasted across every single corner of the world wide

124
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: web there within seconds, the interweb all over the place.

125
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: Now does that sound organic? That maybe the back of

126
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: the room it sounds organic. Possibly the back of the

127
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: answer is sure. If organic means like tupperware, there's a

128
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: place somewhere. I think it's in South America where they

129
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: grow tupperware. No, and we've learned this actually happened two

130
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: weeks ago. This is a two week old story. It

131
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: didn't get out for two weeks. Now, nothing I understand.

132
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: Nothing in celebrity culture is organic. It does not exist. Now,

133
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: organic is a marketing term, we should point that out.

134
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: But organic is you know what organic is? An organic

135
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: proposal is going to Now this guy we met Dante

136
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: in Vegas and his plan he's going to do this.

137
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, this guy's become loaded, a rich, loaded

138
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: guy with waffle house. He's going to open the first

139
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: waffle house in Vegas. So the organic way to propose

140
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: is to ten years from Now go to Dante's waffle

141
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: House in Vegas in the parking lot at three in

142
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: the morning while eating the sausage egg gritz bowl, and

143
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: you've got the ring still in the You got the

144
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: ring and he came out of a plastic claw machine.

145
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: The engagement ring came out of a plastic claw machine

146
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: from inside. And then that's the engagement. Now, this, this

147
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: was all the Kelsey engagement was obviously chorey craft. It

148
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: was I would say, months in the making, knowing a

149
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: little bit about how that world works. And you had

150
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,599
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift's people, You've got Kelsey's got people. See, I

151
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: don't have people, like when you're that fit, you got people.

152
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: I don't have people. You know, we don't. I don't

153
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: have that. But they got people. You had the jeweler involved.

154
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: So there's a jeweler. You know people. You know, there's

155
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: got to be a back. So everyone loves a story, right,

156
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: You go to restaurants and the menus at the restaurants store, Well,

157
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: here's our story about huh we became you know, blah

158
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. We learned how to make fighter training

159
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: out for it on in Italy while drunk, you know,

160
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: it's an old family. Everyone's got to have a story, right.

161
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: Everyone loves a story. We learned from stories. It's very

162
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: big deal. So you gotta have a story. It's it's

163
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: not just an engagement ring. There's a story to it, right,

164
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: It's got some special meaning that will come out. It's

165
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: all hands on deck, all hands on deck and uh.

166
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: And of course it's not a love story so much,

167
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: even though Justin and Cincinnati told me it was a

168
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: love story and Robbie the Mariner fan. It's an event.

169
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: It's an event, and yet it's it's also in weird

170
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: way it is sporty. Right. That's the part that kind

171
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: of fascinates me that this is somehow he's sports story,

172
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: but apparently it is. And page two, will there be

173
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: a prenup? Will there be a prenup? Between Taylor Swift

174
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: and Travis Kelcey? Okay, so it does a humpback whale

175
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: swim in the ocean? Does a humpback will Swift? Of course?

176
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: But he just saw Tyreek Hill who got married for

177
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: was his seventeen months, and he gave the woman he

178
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: was with five hundred thousand dollars for seventeen months plus

179
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: like twenty grand a month to spend, because we all

180
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: need twenty grand a month to spend plus a five

181
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: million dollar house, plus lawyer fees, plus this plan. So

182
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: you cant dollars to donuts, dollars to absolutely right? Come

183
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: on now, of course you better believe there is going

184
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: to be a prenup here that Taylor Swift's legal team,

185
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: her lawyers have already draft did a prenup up that

186
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: I believe runs longer than the United States Constitution. It's

187
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: bigger than the US Constitution. And Travis Kelce is rich.

188
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: It's not like Travis Kelsey doesn't have money. He's rich. However,

189
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift is wealthy. There is a difference between rich

190
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: and wealthy, and that's the point of demarcation, right, that's

191
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: the point of demarketing. So does this engagement end in marriage?

192
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: Not all engagements end in marriage. History tells us that

193
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: when it comes to celebrity engagements, it's a benny versus

194
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: the penny situation. It's a coin flip, it's a qui

195
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: has Taylor Swift already written a song about this? How

196
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: about that? You think she's already got a song in

197
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: the tank? Hell? Yes, absolutely, it's either on her phone's

198
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: notes app, like I put a lot of stuff on

199
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: my notes app on my phone, Like I'll have a

200
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: random thought. I was driving in and I had there

201
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: was something I want it ran about on the podcast.

202
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna save it for this weekend. But there was

203
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: something I saw that really annoyed me, and I used

204
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: my weekend podcast this is therapy to complain about things

205
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: that annoyed me. So I saw this and I said,

206
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: I want to rant about that because that really annoyed me.

207
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 1: So I'll do that at some point this weekend. But

208
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: I use the notes avange. So she's probably put it

209
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: on there, or other people wrote the song for her,

210
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: or maybe it's already been recorded. Who knows? Will they Elope?

211
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: Will they? Absolutely not? You think they're going to Elope.

212
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: They're not eloping. They're not going to the Elvis Chapel

213
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: in Vegas with our favorite taxi cab driver from Boston

214
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: who lives in Vegas. He's not gonna take him to

215
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: the Elvis Chapel for a shotgun wedding. That is not happening.

216
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: And I've been told by people that are very important,

217
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: and this is American Royalty. This is an American royal wedding.

218
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: We've never had an American royal wedding. They put those

219
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: other weddings from Europe on and they get big numbers,

220
00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: big numbers, and so this thing will be it'll be tell, guys, commercialized.

221
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: You'll have the Swifties all over it, right, they'll be there.

222
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: You've got the chiefs Kingdom and Kelsey's crowd. They'll they'll

223
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: be blending together in one giant ven diagram right there,

224
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: adoring fans. Oh my, wonderful. And of course I am

225
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: not a fan of either. I don't hate either or

226
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: anything like that, but I'll just be along for the

227
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: ride here. Some of you have sent me email telling

228
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: me that Travis Kelsey made a deal with the devil

229
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: and he's a lizard person. Now, so maybe that's the case.

230
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the case or not. But listen,

231
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: I'll consume this. I'm in the content business. I will

232
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: consume it. I will mock it. That's what I do.

233
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: I get paid to consume things and to mock things.

234
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: And I'll either secretly love it or hate it, or

235
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of both, And that's fine. That's

236
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: the business. I've chosen that's what we do here. That's

237
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,479
Speaker 1: also what you do as well. We all have strong opinions.

238
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: It's the culture and it's sports, but it's not sports

239
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: except when it is sports. And now I gotta tell

240
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: you personally, I have not this is something that's changed

241
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 1: in my life time. I have not understood the obsession

242
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: of the tight end celebrity. I don't understand. It's something

243
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: that did not exist in my childhood. This is a

244
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: thing that has happened as I've grown and become an adult.

245
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: I guess I'm not smart enough to figure it out.

246
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: But back in my day, here's a back in my

247
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: day story. A tight end was a glorified offensive lineman.

248
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: That's what a tight end was. And occasionally the tight

249
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: end would catch a pass, but really only if the

250
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: quarterback got bored, they'd throw the tight end a pass,

251
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: and that's about it. That's about it. Now they're dating

252
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: pop stars, Now they're engaging in hosting podcasts, they're on

253
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: television like Gronkowski and all that stuff, and they're auditioning

254
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: for roles in movies. These tight ends. What a amazing

255
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: dacotomy from what it had been the tight end position.

256
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey's out there. He's galloping around like a golden

257
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: retriever who found a glitter cannon. And that's pretty much

258
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: like now. Now the last word on this on a

259
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: newbie night, the last word does Chiefs tight end Travis

260
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: Kelsey's engagement? Did Taylor Swift mean Asta la vista? The

261
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five NFL season is going to be? All

262
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: she wrote? Is that? It?

263
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 3: So?

264
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: If you look at this from thirty thousand feet up

265
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: in the sky, Travis Kelsey is going the old Aerosmith

266
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: Piece Out farewell tour. He's doing the old peace Out

267
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: farewell tour on this. Before he trades in the playbook,

268
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: he's going to give the playbook back and he's going

269
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: to get some horribly cheesy movie scripts. And you can

270
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: play another waiter in a future Adam Sandler movie. Knock

271
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: yourself out here. Now, the Chiefs will not say their

272
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: brass will not say retirement the R word. They won't

273
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: say retirement. But I promise you they're already preparing a statue,

274
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: whether it be at Arrowhead or whether it be at

275
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: another venue in the Greater Kansas City slash Kansas, you know,

276
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: across the state line there in the greater Kansas City area. Well,

277
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: we have a lot of friends. You know, the show

278
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: has done very well there. I recommend when they get

279
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: the wedding, I believe the people that should take care

280
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: of the food. Everyone's worried about wedding food. What better

281
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: at the Travis Kelcey wedding to Taylor Swift than the

282
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: landing in Liberty, Missouri? Serving Ben Mallard chicken fingers at

283
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: the Kelsey Taylor Swift wedding. Perfect, They're right there. It's

284
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: a people think of Kansas City as a barbecue city,

285
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: but really it's a in many ways, it's more of

286
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: a chicken finger city. Would just be perfect, would just

287
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: be absolutely perfect. But you'll get a statue, get a

288
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: you know, they'll tribute video and all this stuff. Now

289
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: this is not just random late night speculation, is not.

290
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: It is the slow motion exit, the slow motion and

291
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: then you've got the Swifties soundtrack that's playing underneath this

292
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 1: and Kelsey's body kind of like the haunted mansion at

293
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: Disney's creaking a little bit a little bit. His yards

294
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: per catch numbers going down, down, down, down, down, down

295
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: down down down. That Super Bowl performance, My god, that

296
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: was about as flat as a Taylor Swift final record.

297
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: That was Wow. My god. Now Kelsey, not only is

298
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: he aging in front of our eyes, he's also his

299
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: future is this he's auditioning. This is his future as

300
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: a distant relative of Nostradamis and friend of Nostra Denis.

301
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: He lives in Seattle. I saw him again. We had

302
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: a pow wow in Vegas with his wife, who's very

303
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: nice woman. Except she's a vegan anyway, So vegetarian being

304
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: in the same anyway to me, it's the same thing.

Speaker 1: the NFL doesn't leave us a lot of time for

384
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 1: college football, it just doesn't. We pick our spots. We

385
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: pick our spots, which normally means we just focus on

386
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: the big names. We focus on the big names in

387
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: college football and that's about it, or some goofy story

388
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,199
Speaker 1: that gets our attention. So the big game this weekend

389
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: is Oozing with Aura. Oozing with Aura, Ohio State dotting

390
00:22:54,880 --> 00:23:00,239
Speaker 1: the I trying to dot the Longhorns from Texas in

391
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: the Horseshoe. It's on Fox this weekend. Kind of a

392
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: big deal. So the Buck guys have already banned David

393
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 1: Portnoy over at Barstool. All the barstool people have been

394
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: banned in an embarrassing mister softy move by the Ohio

395
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: State University. Why god. So, Texas comes into this game

396
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: as the number one, number one team in both the

397
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: Associated Press Top twenty five and the Coaches poll. They're

398
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: still around, and that is how we begin the season.

399
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: The preseason poll has Texas right at the very top

400
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: of the mountain. Okay, and if you look at your

401
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: gambling odds, you see that right there there. It is

402
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: around DraftKings odds, subject to change. Arch Manning is the

403
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: Heisman favorite. He is the quarterback for the University of Texas.

404
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: There So arch Manning, who has issued a prepared statement,

405
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: Arch Manning about his team's place in the order going

406
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: into the college football season. If he saw this or not,

407
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: maybe not, So I thought it was interesting. So arch

408
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: Manning the next in the line, the lineage of the

409
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: Manning family. So arch Manning says regarding Texas going into

410
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: this game, says, we don't have the target on our back.

411
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: Arch Manning said, we've got the red dot on everyone else,

412
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: all right, So let us discuss the question buy or sell,

413
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: Buy or sell Texas quarterback arch Manning not having a

414
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: bullseye on his back. So my observations, I got Jeff Bezos,

415
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: bubble bath, and alphabet soup, and we will combine all

416
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to make

417
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: a delicious pastrami sandwich is what We're gonna make. Some

418
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: onions in there, oh, perfect chef's kiss. All right, so

419
00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: number nice numb right now. So I'm gonna sell this, Okay,

420
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: I am going to sell this. Arch Manning saying Texas

421
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: does not have the proverbial target on their back is

422
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: kind of like the Kardashians saying they don't really want attention. Okay,

423
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: let me, what are you doing? Please? Now, you can't

424
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: be the Heisman favorite, at least in the world. I

425
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: believe in the Mallard multiverse, but in my part of

426
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: the multiverse, you cannot be the Heisman Trophy favorite, the

427
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: face of the sport, the only real star college football has,

428
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: the golden child of the Manning monarchy. And then try

429
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: to play that We're just another team. I'm just another quarterback,

430
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: that whole thing. You can't play that card. Not allowed. Sorry,

431
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: not sorry, not sorry. It's akin to Jeff Bezos trying

432
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: to convince us that Amazon is just a small mom

433
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: and pop business. That's all it is. It's all it is,

434
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: that's all it is. Because listen, Arch Manning, the hype

435
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: on this kid is next level, right. The Longhorns are

436
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: at the very top based on all of the noise

437
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 1: of the hype food chain. They are the kings of

438
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: the hype jungle. Congratulations on it. They're the Philemennon at

439
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: a Golden Corral buffet. They are that. And every college

440
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: football scribe and network, every radio gash bag and wanna

441
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: be podcast star drooling to get a taste. And I'm

442
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: in line, I'm online, I am and arch Manning, he

443
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 1: is the five star dessert. At least, if you believe

444
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: all the stories that are out about college fall, arch

445
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: Manning is the five star dessert being carted out, wheeled

446
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: out with the sparklers. You know, those nice desserts they

447
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: have the chocolate drizzle at high end establishments. Yeah, and

448
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: you don't get to sit there in the spotlight. I

449
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: don't believe. What do I know? You don't sit there

450
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: on the spotlight and claim, well, I mean really in

451
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: the shadows. Well, no, there's a spotlight on you. You're

452
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: not You're not exactly in the shadows. That's not at all.

453
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: He's talking about hunting other teams. Arch Manning the Texas quarterback,

454
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 1: you know, hunting other teams and all that stuff. And uh,

455
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: and Texas is the the gazelle out in the open prairie.

456
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: There they're running around and every lion in the savannah

457
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: has circled them. That's the reality right there. The gazelle.

458
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: They say they're the Longhorns, but they're the gazelle in

459
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: this and that burnt orange jersey that Texas is known

460
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: for there, you know, might as well be camouflage. But

461
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: in reverse here, you know, it's screams, come get me, Bra,

462
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: That's what it's. Come get me, Bra, That's what it's screams.

463
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: The Manning family, I don't know how many times you

464
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: have to say this. I'm not saying this. It bothers me.

465
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: But they're the royal family of football. Blah blah blah

466
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: blah blah. Archie, I've determined. I've looked at the the

467
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,719
Speaker 1: family chart there the family tree. So arch Archie Manning

468
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: was the founding father. You all determined that Peyton Manning

469
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: was King Mike and then Eli, who he famously dubbed

470
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: the punk, very mediocre NFL quarterback, but he became Prince

471
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: Clutch in the postseason. And then you've got arch Then

472
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: you have arch Manning. So where does he fall in

473
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: the Manning lineage? So Arch Manning is the heir to

474
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: the throne for now, he is the king hype. The

475
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: first he's king hype. The first is the way that

476
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: he is the show pony, arch Manning. So he's the

477
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 1: show pony in a world full of plow horses in

478
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 1: college football. There's a lot of plow horses in college football,

479
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: a lot. And so you know, Texas might not they

480
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: might not have won the championship because they didn't last year.

481
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: It's been a few years, but they did win the

482
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: headline championship. And in the game of publicity there at

483
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: the very top, the very top they are for this

484
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: college football season, something that Jones would love. They're like

485
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys of college football. They're bigger than their results, right,

486
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: bigger than arch Manning started two games last year. Two

487
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: that was it, you know, used in two games. And

488
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: so the Cowboys though, in terms of the hype and

489
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and you know, louder than their record

490
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: and all that and just being shoved in our fish.

491
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: Now they go out and get smoked by the Buckeyes.

492
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: That'll change a little bit, but the arch Manning story

493
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: doesn't go away that much. Now, speaking of that, we're

494
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: going to move to a different sport, a different level

495
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: of the sport. But page two. Here we go to

496
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: the final decision on the quarterback competition. It's all over.

497
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: The last team left. There was only one that had

498
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: not named their starting quarterback. We go now to the

499
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: Bayou and that is where the news came out. Question,

500
00:29:55,120 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: did the Saints make the right call as they picked

501
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: Spencer Rattler as QB one over Tyler Shuck? Aw shucks?

502
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:14,239
Speaker 1: Did they make the right call? So we had. By

503
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: the way, before I get into this, let's let's hear

504
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: the This is Kellen Moore making the announcement. Here the

505
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: head coach of the Saints. Don't need to remember his name.

506
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: He will not be the coach long, But here's Kellen Moore,

507
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:24,719
Speaker 1: coach of the Saints.

508
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 5: Spencer Ratlers are starring quarterback. Really really excited for him.

509
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 5: He's do an awesome job this off season. Oh, he's

510
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 5: just been consistent, made some really good decisions throughout this

511
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 5: whole entire process, and you know, his ability to make

512
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 5: plays with his arm and his feet have certainly shown up.

513
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 5: And so I'm really really excited about Spencer. He's earned

514
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 5: this opportunity.

515
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. I literally see his nose growing in the video

516
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: there as he was saying that he does not believe

517
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: any of that, So there was no right call to

518
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: make here the way I read the room, here, there

519
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: was no right call to make. We mentioned in previous

520
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: episodes you talk about being stuck between the devil and

521
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: the deep blue sea. This is it, right. You got

522
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: a rookie head coach, Kellen Moore, who's in this case

523
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: not the devil in the deep blue c He's snuck,

524
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: but he was stuck between. He's got a rattlesnake bite

525
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: or a scorpion sting. Which one would you rather have?

526
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: He chose King Colber. He chose King Colber. And essentially

527
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: the Saints are going to be taking a bubble bath

528
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: in snake Venom with Spencer Rattler and Moore has a

529
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: Kellimore has a reputation, whether it's true or not, of

530
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: masking quarterback limitations, which is really what good coaching is.

531
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: You're hiding the limitations of your player. And so we

532
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: all know that, and that you talk about putting that

533
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: to the test here with Spencer Ratler, who has masters.

534
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: He's only played a little bit in the NFL, but

535
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: he played a lot in college football at Oklahoma and

536
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: South Carolina. Spencer Ratler has become the maestro of inconsistent

537
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: pocket presence and really bad decision making, which is a

538
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: death sentence if you're playing quarterback in the NFL. It's

539
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: more likely than not that Spencer Ratler is just a means. Now,

540
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: what is the end game, you ask arch Manning. That's

541
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: the endgame. These Saints have the NFL's lowest playoff odds,

542
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: less than four percent in the league. That is designed

543
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: to give everyone the false hope of having a chance

544
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. The Saints have a less than

545
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,479
Speaker 1: four percent chance based on the gaming odds, to make

546
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs. They have an expected win total, which blows

547
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: Ozzie wase Away of five point two. Five point two. Now,

548
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: keep in mind, the Saints have no depth, so once

549
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: these guys start getting hurt, everyone has injuries. That's why

550
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: it works. They have no depth, so they'll be getting

551
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: guys off off or up, like hey, I put a

552
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: job posting on offer ups. Well, there's no plus for jobs.

553
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: But they'll be trying to get anyone to play on

554
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: the offensive line. So, and keep in mind the Saints

555
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: playing a division, you know the division, I mean the

556
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: division blows Carolina, Come on, Atlanta, who knows whether Michael

557
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: Pennix Junior is going to be that good in Tampa

558
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: has been a playoff team, but they don't scare anybody,

559
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers, they don't really scare anybody, all right now,

560
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: final point to the Bay Area we go follow up,

561
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: follow up to a transaction. So Brian Robinson, we mentioned

562
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: this the other he got traded from the team. Fomian

563
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: knows the Redskins to the San Francisco football team, and

564
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: already he's out there with a strong hot take. Brian

565
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: Robinson let the world know that he and Christian McCaffery

566
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: are the best running back duo in the NFL. So

567
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: thumbs up, thumbs down, thumbs up, or thumbs down on

568
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: this one. So this is a give me a break

569
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: situation that is a big helping of alphabet soup is

570
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: what that is. Of course, the first thought is what

571
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: else is he gonna say? Wouldn't that be quite the

572
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: story if Brian Robinson got to the forty nine ers

573
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: and said, ah, yeah, I stink and that's why I'm

574
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: here because I sucked in Washington and they thought I

575
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: couldn't play anymore, so they gave me to the forty

576
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: nine Ers and the Niners are a bunch of idiots,

577
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 1: and they added me. But here's the reality. Brian Robinson's

578
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: pretty good player, but he was given away, right, And

579
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: you know what your value is based in that business.

580
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: You know what your value is based on what you

581
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: were acquired for. Washington shipped I believe it was a

582
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: late round draft pick to get Brian Robinson. You know,

583
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: they shipped him out for a late round draft pick.

584
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: The Niners gave that up. And so that's the NFL.

585
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: You don't need the mavel Rosetta stone. That's the NFL's

586
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: way of saying you're a dima. Does it now? The

587
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 1: other half of the best duo, Christian mccaffree, who was

588
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,919
Speaker 1: a really good ballplayer. Unfortunately he's got a glitch. He's

589
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: made out of glass. The main is made out of it.

590
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: He's unbelievable when he's out there playing for the Niners.

591
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: Right Eileen in San Francisco, she loves Washington run around

592
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: there and her nest O and the Bay and all

593
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 1: those they love them. They absolutely love him, Jay Scoop,

594
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: all those Niner apologies out there. They love this guy

595
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: when he's running around. However, here's the problem. All right,

596
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 1: he's made out of guys, and you cannot call it

597
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: the greatest running back. He said, the best, which means

598
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: we'll get to that in a minute. Best duo if

599
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: one guy's always camped out in the injury tent and

600
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: the other guy was basically free with purchase, so they

601
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: just tossed him in as an add on to sweeten

602
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: the pot. Best du us, so it's more like the

603
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: best solo act. And then Brian Robinson is holding the

604
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 1: mic stand all right, and so now there are other

605
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: good combinations. I don't know what we need to do.

606
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: I certainly do I don't want to do a list.

607
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 1: That's what Terry in England likes. He likes list. I

608
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: don't do that. I do Big Ben's big board. But

609
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 1: just looking around, off the top of my head, if

610
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: you were to look at other running back combo dishes

611
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,919
Speaker 1: that stand out, like the Lions when things are going

612
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: right for Jamir Gibbs and David Montgomery, that's a pretty

613
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 1: good one two punch they have in Motown. And dare

614
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: I say that the Raiders have the makings of something

615
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: pretty good. If Ashton Genty is as advertised top ten

616
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: pick in the draft and Raheem Moster. It's been pretty productive.

617
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: He's old, but he's been pretty productive. That's got some explosiveness,

618
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: it does. And so no, I'm sure I can get

619
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of crap from San Francisco for you. Just

620
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: compare the Niners to the Lines and the Raiders. What's

621
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: wrong with you? But remember the term best the legal

622
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,919
Speaker 1: definition and advertising means as good as all the rest.

623
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: So if I can say we have the best radio

624
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: show and no one cansume me. If I say our

625
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: show is better than whoever. I think our competition's on

626
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: tape anyway. But if I say we're better, then I

627
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: have to I can be suon. I have to prove

628
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: it and all that stuff.

629
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

630
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

631
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: It's mallard, how about that?

632
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 2: To the third degree. This is one big Ben gets grilled.

633
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna get grilled here. But before we do that,

634
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: I got to pay off the Insta trivia. You got

635
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 1: a quick trigger finger there, Lorena.

636
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 6: Don't you know it's so sad because I was like, oh,

637
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 6: the song has to stop.

638
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: I know, all right, Well, well quickly. Blank was the

639
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: first rookie quarterback in NFL history to throw at least

640
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in each of his first four games as

641
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: a starter. That is the question. What is the answer,

642
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: and let's see Lassie guessed by Alf the Alleno pinter

643
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: relevant guests. Who else do we have? Bill? Who's your bill? Want?

644
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: Was something botox Ozzie Guy and I from Robbie the mrierfan.

645
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: What happened to Ozzy Guy? Robbie he used to do

646
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 1: that Mallard Town podcast, you guys and then which was

647
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: nothing about the mather live in here in hell Town

648
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: but not talking about the Mallard Town. What else? Ferd

649
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: Dog says Robbie the celebrity couple fan. He can't wait

650
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: for the Aaron Rodgers update, helmet Man and Taylor Swift's

651
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: love child from Stuck in Sacramento, A snooker from Las Vegas.

652
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: According to Malthard prop guy, a right what say you have?

653
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: A right out?

654
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, it has to be Taylor Swiss, bridemaids

655
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 6: Selena Gomesh.

656
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: No, it's the great or Jake Cutler. Here we go,

657
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: Here we go, Here we go. I don't know, just

658
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: don't play the open, but we played the music. Go ahead,

659
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: what do we got here?

660
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 3: The Lions did not do well in the preseason, going

661
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 3: one to three and getting outscored by forty six points.

662
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 3: Dan Campbell admitted that the performance is quote a little

663
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 3: bit concerning, Ben, How concerning should it be?

664
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: It's only concerning from the standpoint. It shows you that

665
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: there's a lack of depth for the Lions because you're

666
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: playing backups in the exhibition season. But no, it doesn't matter,

667
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: and you didn't play your star players, you didn't game plan.

668
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: It is irrelevant. It is irrelevant other than the fact

669
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: that if you get down to your third string guys,

670
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 1: you've got some problems, because those are the guys that

671
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: play most of the exhibition games. And it would appear

672
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: that Dan Campbell has an issue there in that department. Now,

673
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: if the Lions get off to a horrible start, we

674
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,919
Speaker 1: can revisit this, but at this point that's my take.

675
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 3: Next, the betting odds are out on who will be

676
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 3: the first NFL head coach fired this season, and Mike

677
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 3: McDaniel leads the field with two to one odds. Yeah, Ben,

678
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 3: do you think McDaniel should be the favorite?

679
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean, it makes sense that Dolphins they feeling

680
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: feel like they're at the end of the run. Sean

681
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 1: McDermott also has to be high up in Buffalo. They've

682
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: been so close for so long they can't get over

683
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: the hump there. And I put Raheem Morris, who's only

684
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: been in Atlanta for a couple of years. I put

685
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: Raheen Morris on that big board of coaches that are

686
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: on the hot seat. And also Zach Taylor in Cincinnati.

687
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:25,760
Speaker 1: Bengals are cheap though they don't want to pay anybody,

688
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: but they did spend a lot of money this offseason

689
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: on wide receivers. And if it doesn't get better there

690
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, I can see him getting the old whack next.

691
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 3: Russell Westbrook and his wife's deliberated ten years of marriage

692
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 3: together this past weekend by renewing their vows on a

693
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 3: boat in Italy. Yeah, been any plan any plans for

694
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 3: a bow renewal ceremony with you and your wife?

695
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: Well, this is something that rich people do coop you know,

696
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: poor poor people or people I'm not poor, but people

697
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: that make middle class money whatever, they don't do this

698
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: kind of thing. You can renew it at the courthouse exactly.

699
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: This isn't rich. This is a rich person move. This

700
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: is I have a lot of fu money. So I'm

701
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: gonna go to Italy and renew my butt. No h

702
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 1: and now I'm already past ten years anyway, if unless

703
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: my wife brings it up, I think we're good on that.

704
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:13,320

Speaker 7: My god, we got tea and tea together.

716
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 1: I love tees.

717
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 7: You love teas. Everyone loves tees. Teas are great letters.

718
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: You sure about that? Positive about that? All right? Well,

719
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: let's get to it, Lorena. These do you have any

720
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 1: opening thoughts or you just love love?

721
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 7: And I love that. That's just today's subject on the show.

722
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 7: I think it makes it that much more.

723
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 1: That I would say it's a theme to the show,

724
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: and I feel like they're very strong a statement to

725
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: say it's a theme. I don't know that we'd say theme.

726
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 1: But it is the Queen of Hearts, and let's get

727
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: right to it. Who is up? First year?

728
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 7: Did you see the message I sent you?

729
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we just want to start with that, all right,

730
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: let's start there, all right? From Anonymous, how do you

731
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: go through a breakup while you're very attached to her dog?

732
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 6: Okay, dogs can be just like children, and if you

733
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 6: really do have a strong connection, you have to come

734
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 6: up with like split things.

735
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 7: You can do custody stuff. You can go to the

736
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 7: court and be like, this is also my dog's I.

737
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: Mean, I love dogs, Lorena, but that's a little much,

738
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: you know, come up.

739
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 6: I'm obviously Anonymous has a strong connection with this dog,

740
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 6: and if they are breaking up, they're going to have

741
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 6: to figure out who gets to see who my cat kept.

742
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 6: My friend kept her cat in their divorce and he

743
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,280
Speaker 6: still asks for pictures in the messages.

744
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: Weird, Rena.

745
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,439
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, I'm just saying just saying, okay,

746
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 7: next question, that was it?

747
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: All right?

748
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 7: Do pew right that's not all what I thought you

749
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 7: were gonna say.

750
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: Should I trust dating a woman with baby daddy issues?

751
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 6: That's from Okay, So that's a hard one because a

752
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 6: lot of people have baby daddies and baby mamas who

753
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 6: are super problematic. Yeah, they don't have They don't have

754
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 6: control over it either. So you have to figure out

755
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 6: are you down for the ride to do you like

756
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:38,800
Speaker 6: her enough or him not?

757
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:44,240
Speaker 1: Yeah? Is the goodies good enough for the baddies exactly exactly?

758
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 6: And is she responsible enough to keep him far enough

759
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,240
Speaker 6: away to keep your relationship safe and protected?

760
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:50,760
Speaker 7: Something you really got to think about.

761
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,720
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Joe and Jersey on the phones.

762
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,799

Speaker 6: a date night, like a singles night type of thing,

775

Speaker 6: that would be really fun.

776
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: About like Main Street, there's a lot of restaurants around there.

777
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, but there's more kids over.

778
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: In that area. Stay away from the kids.

779
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, we don't want kids.

780
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,880

00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:46,919
Speaker 1: and don't go in, just saying out in the parking lot. Yeah.

Speaker 6: and eat. You'll find people sitting alone at the bar

785
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 6: tops there, so also a good spot to go. Okay,

786
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 6: my gosh, if she's looking for cute stuff to buy,

787
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 6: you could be like, oh my gosh, that is so cute,

788
00:43:59,160 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 6: you should buy that.

789
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,439
Speaker 1: That sounds just something like Ferd Dog would say. JT,

00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: What's going on?

797
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 6: But really, though, I feel like you should be open

798
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 6: about that. And if you if you're interested in opening

799
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 6: the doors, maybe your partner might.

800
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: Be interested to the Bible belt. That might be illegal.

801
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 1: I don't know.

802
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 7: I don't know.

803
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: I'm just saying you can repent.

804
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 7: Yeah, for forgiveness.

805
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: Let's see. Shaneon the Moye says, how long are you

806
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 1: with someone before you let them drive your car or

807
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: you drive theirs? With Kelly and I, she drove mine

808
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 1: within weeks, but I waited nine months to drive hers.

809
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: Oh wow.

810
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 6: I mean, if it'd be if I'm afraid to drive

811
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 6: the car or not. So I don't know, like a manual,

812
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 6: if it's a really expensive car, or if it's a

813
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 6: really big car and I don't feel comfortable, Like if

814
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 6: it's one of those semi trucks.

815
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 7: I'm never driving that ever, and I'd never do it ever.

816
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: I wouldn't drive a Semis too big.

817
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 3: Uh.

818
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,920
