This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
No more Adams Family for you, Well maybe well come in.
Not be getting of another hour of the Ben Malor Show,
another edition as we are in the air, every aware
with fresh thoughts as we talk around the curvature of space, time, Coast,

(01:07):
Duck coast, border, the border and beyond. On the mast
and super eminently powerful microphones of fsre amminating live from
the market, the flea market of wheeling and dealing. We're
broadcasting live from the tiraq dot com studios. Tirect dot

(01:27):
com will help you get there. An unmatched selection, fast
free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten thousand
recommended installers. Tire iraq dot com the way tire mining
should be. I know double ow Mexican in San Diego
and our friend the Warrior Raider, Tom Brady, roast fan there,

(01:50):
all of them very excited. Ten thousand times they thought
about this big trade rumor in the NFL. Now, I
want to clarify, we're going to start with the NFL,
but I am open for business when it comes to
talking about the baseball playoffs. I spent all day on
my fat ass getting hemorrhoids watching the baseball playoffs. So
if you want to talk about any of that, we

(02:11):
will discuss it as we go through the overnight. It's
a long transcontinental four hour flight, so we have plenty
of time to get to the baseball. But play the hit,
small man, Play the hits, all right, we'll play the hits.
Calm down, so, big name star player, guy, you've heard of,
high profile team demanding a job transfer. Those are the

(02:34):
ingredients to above average talk radio. Assuming that I don't
f this up. That's above average talk radio, so I
assume you for it by now, I'll pay attention. You're
listening to a sports talk radio showed at an odd time,
so you probably do pay attention, but perhaps not so
we learned that DeVante Adams so offended, so aghast by

(02:57):
his coach liking a post that said he might have
played his last game in Vegas. Davante Adams would like
to exit stage right, or for that matter, stage left,
but he wants out. So Adams, we are told, has
informed our Raiders that he prefers a trade. Hit the road, Jack, Yeah,

(03:18):
So let the games begin, and there are all kinds
of content creators who are throwing stuff against the wall
hoping it sticks. Now Adam Schefter, at one point part
of the Fox Sports Radio Association, now part of the
Alumni Association. But Adam Schefter tells us that the Raiders

(03:39):
are asking teams for a second round pick. I want
a second round pick and additional compensation for DeVante Adams.
So let us discuss how should the Raiders handle the
DeVante Adams public trade request. So I've got Nicholas Cage,

(04:02):
cattle Rattle, and Einstein, and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to make a
one armed bandit the old slot machine. So from the Raiders'
side of things, this storyline has been moving this direction

(04:24):
at a snail's pace, very reminiscent of the Jim Harbaughs.
Going back to the NFL storyline which I preached from
the bully pulpit for years, and I had Michigan fan saying,
he's never going back to the NFL, never going back
to the NFL, never going back to the NFL, and
all along he wanted to go to the NFL. He't
want to stay at Michigan as long as he stayed

(04:44):
at Michigan, but people didn't believe me. Emil. Now he's
back in the NFL, and I've been hearing for the
last two years that Davante Adams did not want to
be with the Raiders anymore. He wanted out of there.
And you keep hearing it over and over, and typically
there's something there, all right, Typically there's something there. You know.
You find those bees, you're gonna find some honey, You

(05:06):
find a little bit of honey. And so it's been
heading that direction. But DeVante Adams was a square peg
in a round hole with the Raiders. The only reason
he went to forget all the Disney type movie bull
crap about how he wanted to be reunited with mister Carr,
Derek Carr's teammate. It was not about that he wanted

(05:26):
to get out of Green Band and he wanted to
get paid. The packers didn't want to pay him. The
Raiders were willing to meet the bounty, and so he's like,
I'll go to the Raiders, and so they sold this
bull crap romance story about he and his college buddy
Derek Carr. But that was not what it was about
at all. It was not about that. It was about
the money. And if Jacksonville had paid him the money,

(05:47):
he would have said, I always wanted to be in Jacksonville,
lived near Angry Bill. But now that all that's long
gone and Derek Carr is hanging out in the bayou,
we turned the page. DeVante Adams is now starring in
a remake as Nicholas Cage, leaving Las Vegas. I do

(06:07):
not believe any prostitutes are involved in this though. It's
not a bad situation for Vegas. Though get to the point, please,
it's not. In terms of how the Raiders have to
handle this. Some eagle eyed observers believe that Adams has
started to check out and that he could have played
against the Cleveland Browns, that he's melking the injury, numb

(06:31):
to the situation. But by the time the Raiders are
going to contend we might all be dead. But assuming
they actually figured this out in the next couple of
years and are competing for playoff bursts consistently, and I
think can still make the playoffs. This year is a
wildcard team. Call me crazy, but in general they're not
a Super Bowl contender this year. But if they become

(06:52):
a big time player by that point, DeVante Adams will
be passed his use by date. He turns third on
Christmas Eve. Now, in the real world, thirty two is
very young, but in the sports world, close to the
end of your prime, right at the very end of
your prime. Now, DeVante Adams did do some media because

(07:14):
why not. And I'll give you a little taste of
what he said here. I believe this is from the
up In Adams Show. I don't know what that is,
but apparently that's a thing. Anyway, here's Davante Adams and
he was asked whether or not he will ever hear
the question to answer whether or not he'll ever put
on that uniform in Vegas again.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
But a lot of people think you're you may never
play another down as a raider.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
What would you say that.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
All I can control is this this talk. We're having
right here and then after we're done with this, all
I can control is the next thing that I'm mounting.
So I'm gonna get up in a minute and go
get a nice workout in, and that's all I can control.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
That is a if I have my way, I ain't
walking on the field again for the Raiders. All right,
here's one more from Adams and he talks about the
drama orama. It's like a Vegas show there with him.

Speaker 5 (08:10):
Honestly, it's it's hard to comment on and I'm sure
you would you would imagine uh as such, but it's
it's one of those situations where I just keep my
head down and keep doing my thing and uh, you know,
let the let the ships fall what they make is
as it pertains to that, But I haven't there's been
no comp communication with anybody from the team since since

(08:30):
that became a thing. But you know, it's kind of
just like the weeklyague.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
It's up with take.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
You know, there's always some sort of drama, but at
the end of the day, one seven doesn't create any
of it. So people can say what they want. But
I'm just chilling, trying to be the model for you know,
not stirring the pot and just just locking in and
doing what I gotta do.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
I see he was referencing the coach of the Raiders,
Tonio Peers, who liked from his own verified account for
reasons beyond belief that DeVante had played his last game
or might have played his last snap with the Raiders.
All right, so what is this? Let's get back to
the point. What is the dream scenario? But there's a
lot of cliches. Wasn't there a lot of cliches in
that we might have to bring back the cliche bell

(09:12):
There was a lot of cliches. Anyway, what is the
dream scenario for the Raiders the mid season? I call
it the cattle rattle? You bring in like every Hollywood movie.
You bring in that auctioneer for the sweet Steaks, unsolicited
device for the Silver and Black. And I have no
skin in the game here, but in order to maximize

(09:33):
the payoff, you pay out a little bit of the money.
There's ways you can finagle the salary cap to cover
more of the cost. But then you also, in addition,
have to turn a blind eye to rivalry and bad
blood for the greater good, even if that means doing
the unthinkable. The unimaginable short term pain for long term gain,

(09:56):
and that would include negotiating a trade with can Zawa
City and la as in the Chargers. The goal here
is to get as many teams bidding against each other,
and the obvious ones the Jets, the Bills, the Steelers,
but you have to include the Chiefs, the Chargers, the Ravens,

(10:19):
the Saints, all of them. It should be a seller's market.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
Now.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
People have pointed out that a similar trade took place
in the offseason. Buffalo unloaded a malcontent wide receiver, Stefon Diggs,
and they didn't get hardly anything of return. There was
a fifth round pick is what they got from the Texans.
They pretty much just gave him away. But mid season
there is a shortage of goods available on the market

(10:45):
and that results in pricing power to the team that
is willing to trade one of their players. So in
this cartoon bubble in my head, the auctioneer hits the
gavel to begin the festivities. Like next up, ladies and gentlemen,
this is lovely and talented pass catcher Davante Adams, who
can be yours if the price is excellent condition. Last

(11:07):
year of his prime let's start the bidding. Shall I
start the bidding here? A second round pick? Yes, thank you?
Do I hear a second and a third? All right?
Yes you, thank you? Good sir? There will you give
me more? How about a pair of second round picks?
All right? Pair of second round picks going once? A
pair of second round picks for the man in that
arrowhead had Wait, do I hear a first round pick?
A first round pick? It is now a first round

(11:28):
pick and a conditional fourth round pick from the man
with the green ribbon on his jacket first, and a
conditional fourth round pick going once, going twice. So boom.
That's how it would sound if I was an auctioneer
trading Davonte Adams. Now the last we'd here. From Davante's perspective,
how much does he have left in the tank? Well,

(11:48):
it depends on which side of the al you're on.
Davante and his agels. Oh he's great, thirty two coming
up here in December. But Adams is he's doing this
high wire act. He's been productive, and the aged demons
are lurk and all that. But you put him back together,
You put him back together with Aaron Rodgers and it's
like peanut, butter and jelly all over again. Right, for
the Raiders, it's better to get rid of him now,

(12:12):
a year two early rather than a year or two late,
especially especially a guy who is he on that list
of players that made a business decision which Antonio Pierce
talked about. And yet it was Einstein who taught us
the one day I paid attention when I was in school.
It's all relative. From the other side, it's all relative.
And so all you have to do again is match up.

(12:35):
Play the match game. Davante Adams on a team that's
all horny to win. A Lombardian think, this is the
year to do with the Chiefs Kansasy if they're DeVante
Adams away from three in a row and in the
modern year, that's never happened, right, they can already trump
what the Patriots did by winning three in a row.
And that's the missing jigsaw puzzle piece. You're telling me

(12:56):
you wouldn't trade a first round pick and a future
third round pick to get DeVante Adams for ten games
of this year, whatever it ends up being. But you look.
Aj Brown went to Philly Christian McCaffrey with the forty
nine ers playmakers, their teams got to the Super Bowl.
Odell Beckham pushed the Rams to the Super Bowl. They won.
He got hurt in that game. So we are in

(13:18):
the era where that one playmaker pushes you over the edge.
We're at that part of the NFL cycle.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mallor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Playball Well, come in the beginning of another hour of
The Ben Mallor Show.

Speaker 6 (13:42):
We are in the air everywhere, making life interesting or
dying trying as we shine and dazzle all night long.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Coast stuck, coast, border, the border in beyond, all the
vast and smashingly powerful microphones of FSR emmating live from
the time Ergo. It's October, and this time it counts
unless it doesn't. We're broadcasting live from the ti Raq

(14:17):

protection and over ten thousand recommended installers. I know Djspin
in San Diego and Marcel and Brooklyn love that tire
rack dot Com await tire buying showb Sorr lead. This

(14:43):
hour is from baseball. Baseball's been very, very good to me.
I spent my entire day from the time I got up,
which wasn't very early in the day, until the time
I walked into the studio here to do the show. Uh,
watching baseball, watching Paul Not all day long. And so
we're gonna start with that wildcard round. Now. The winner

(15:07):
of the wildcard round usually just wins game one. It's
best of three, so all you have to do is
win twice. Now, the winner of game one, They've only
been doing this a few years, but the winner of
game one has gone on to win the series eighty
eight percent of the time. They've had sixteen three game series,
and fourteen of the sixteen times the team that won

(15:27):
game one ended up winning the series, come hell or
high water. So I don't know whether you're watching or not.
Maybe you tuned out, you've got other stuff going on.
Maybe you sleep, you're listening overnight, unless you're a podcast listener. Well,
I watched in the American League Triple Crown winner of
pitching Mister Schoople Scooby Doo. We do to reach Schoople

(15:52):
on the mound for the Detroit baseball team, his first
postseason victory and the first first win by a Tiger
team in the postseason in more than a decade. Where
have you gone? Alan Trammel and Sweet Lou Whittaker? Holy
crap on a cracker. So he was sensational in his debut,

(16:17):
a three to one win. There was some nail biting,
the Astros who looked like they were blindfolded the cheaters.
All of a sudden the ninth inning they found something
on one of those buzzers started working, but they did
not work enough as Jason Hayward is he a trojan
horse planted by the Dodgers? The ex Dodger there lining

(16:38):
out to end the game. Scooble allowed just four singles,
that's it, one walk in six innings, and the Detroit
baseball team now went away from advancing. So let us
discuss the question what stood out from the Motor City Kitties,
the baseball version, the Tigers putting Jose Alboo, and the

(17:01):
cheating a rows on the brink of elimination. So I've
got masterclass, movie theater, popcorn, and Ricky Bobby, and we
will combine all of these things together and take you
to the barber shop for a haircut. So num Burn, Yeah,

(17:24):
we're not writing the eulogy yet, we're not, although I'm
looking forward to that. I anticipate a very joyous shot
in Freud, a heavy Malard monologue hopefully coming up in
the next show. But it's hard for us to fully
enjoy Detroit winning. I know it's only one year, but

(17:45):
because they are managed by the kingpin of the twenty
seventeen a holes Aj Hinch, right, and so I'm trying
to compartmentalize that for the greater good. And I will
agree with you. I got an email from a guy
in Michigan who lives up in the the top part

(18:05):
of Michigan called their Little Mutton thing there. He said, hey, listen,
I love your show. All listen, you know, a couple
times a week, and you should support the Tigers. And
he pointed out the Tigers are the lesser of two evils.
And that is true, the Tigers are the lesser of
two evils. It's still hard for me to sport anything
Hinch is involved in. But regardless of that, Scooball put

(18:27):
on a master class. There was no public defecation. You
don't know what you don't know with these pitchers that
don't have a lot of postseason or any postseason opportunities, right,
keeping the cheaters lineup at Bay, keeping them on the
off balance side in the batter's box, and validating that

(18:50):
the triple crown of pitching in the regular season is legitimate.
It's always fun. I think people that like good versus
evil like when the A Holes lose, and for them
to lose at home is even better. The as one
one thousand and two, one thousand Holes have now lost
not one, not two, not three, not four, not five.

(19:11):
How about six straight playoff games. They're pulling their hair
out at this point there and the den of iniquity
that is Minute May Park in Houston. Six straight home
playoff losses. Remember a few years back when the Washington
Nationals used that natitude and they won every game if
I remember correctly, in the den of iniquity and winning

(19:34):
there in Houston. So, if you're the cheaters, what adjustments
do you make? Will you probably run down to your
local home depot or your lows and get some new
trash cans and maybe you can contact their friends over
at rapid radios and get some new tech and put
a rapid radio in every uniform and see if you
can communicate that way. The possibilities are endless, all right now,

(19:55):
page two here, as we continue our hour of baseball.
So how are things looking for the other teams that lost?
The Orioles, the Brewers, and the Padres at this point
one game in to the wildcard run. As we're doing
this in real time, So the things are looking. The
forecast is depressing, with a chance of even more depression. Right,

(20:18):
all three of them now facing based on the last
couple of years, twelve percent odds of advancing, eighty eight
percent chance they lose. But that tells you what has happened,
not what's going to happen. But if you were to
make a big board, not a list, I don't do this,
but if you made a big board, big Ben's big
board of the teams that lost, the team that is
probably the angerst or should be the angriest for the Birds.

(20:41):
It is especially bleak for the Birds. And here's why
you go back in the hot tup time machine. What
did Baltimore do to get ready for this season? They
made the big splash, They made their Hey, we've got
a new owner, we're going for it move and they
got Corbin Burns from Milwaukee this offseason, a cy young

(21:06):
pedigree pitcher, and mister Burns was on the mound for
Game one, and he pitched well enough to win the game.
He had been shaky at times the last month of
the season, or the last month and a half of
the season, but he pitched well enough to win the game.
Just not well enough, as someone named Cole Reagan's of
the Kansas City baseball team, who now has the O's

(21:29):
on the brink of elimination. Baltimore has lost nine straight
playoff games, the Orioles nine. I know somewhere in a
land far far away, helmet man is reeling from this loss.
But Burns is also free to roam around the big

(21:50):
leagues once this wild Card round is over should Baltimore lose,
as he did not sign an extension and he is
a soldier of fortune that will go to the highest bidder.
All right now, in Wisconsin, the brew crew were out
muscled by the Mess that this one stings a lot too,
because the Brewers jumped out to an early lead. They
hung a crooked number up. But it appears to be

(22:11):
the same old song and nance for Milwaukee. They beat
up on the Cubs, the Reds, and the Cardinals in
the regular season, only only to get down to the
fetal position and start sucking the thumb in the playoffs,
Rinse Washington, Repeat. Now there's a scenario where the Brewers
come back and win that, so we're not ready to
completely write them off. I don't think the Mets are

(22:32):
an amazing team, but hey, I know they call themselves
the Amazing mess. And then the final game of Day
one of the Wildcard Round in Sunday Ago, where the
King was on the mound, Michael King, former Yankee who
looked like Madison Bumgardner for the Pod squad as he
absolutely slayed the Dragon, or at least the Bravos. There's

(22:56):
no excuse for the Braves to play that way. I
saw a lot of dope on TV. They're like, well,
they traveled three thousand miles, they had to play a
doubleheader on Monday, and then they had to play on Tuesday. Okay,
so to the Mets. They traveled half as far. But
the Mets didn't get molly wopped like the Atlanta baseball
team did. The Braves were sleepwalking, but amazing pitching by

(23:18):
Michael King. Chef's kiss playoff performance big time, all right.
That's where you respect players when they play in this
pressure in October. It's one thing to do it on
a July afternoon when there's ten people watching, but in
the playoffs a little different. But twelve strikeouts, seven shutout
innings would have gone all the way, but that's not allowed.

(23:40):
It's taboo.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Now.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Eighty nine pitches got to take you out, so we
can save your Tommy John surgery for a couple of
starts down the line. But some general thoughts. General thoughts
on the Baseball Playoffs Day one here home field advantaged,
who cares? Four games on Tuesday, three road teams won
score first. You probably gonna win score first. You're probably

(24:02):
gonna win. Three of the four teams to score first.
One the Brewers, the only one that didn't. Tight took
a syndrome I jotted down on my notepad. Tight took
a syndrome is real. October the time of the year
where star players end up eating xanax like movie theater
popcorn to fight the anxiety. They just can't handle it.
Only two home runs in Day one, both by the

(24:24):
Podres you had a conga line of pitchers. Each team
averaged four point one pitchers per game. It would have
been more, but the Mets and the Podres did not
use very many pitchers at all because of the way
that shook down. So a lot of pitchers, it'll be
more pitching changes. If pitching changes get you aroused, you're

(24:48):
gonna be aroused for the next month watching baseball, all right?
Final point? So I wanted to talk about something I
saw that I'm sure you saw if you watched the
Baseball Plus even our blind listeners saw this. Where do
you stand on the newest edition the addendum to the
Major League Baseball Playoff uniforms. Now, for those that might

(25:10):
have missed it, some company called strass to German apparel company.
I don't know what that is, but apparently they're a
big thing, and they put their logo on both sides
of every helmet used during the twenty twenty four MLB Playoffs.
It looked like a Korean League Baseball game. So my

(25:32):
thoughts on this? Where do I stand? This is the
natural progression? The natural progression the latest move by Commissioner
Rob Mann fraud to tarnish Major League Baseball released by
Major League Baseball's greedy marketing laboratory. And it's the old
lab League, right, the lab League hypothesis that the illness

(25:53):
escape from Major League Baseball's institute if you will, of
you know of science and marketing and all that, and uh,
maybe eight miles from a fish market. I don't know,
but we tried to warn you a couple of years ago.
And I'm not here to do a pirouet on the
catwalk and take a bow, but it's rather obvious this

(26:16):
is the direction things are going here. Once the froggy
was released, the froggy does not come back or go.
This is a example of the boiling frog. If a
frog is placed in a boiling pot of water, it'll
jump right out, Oh my god, I'm gonna die. But
if it's placed in a cold or room temperature pot

(26:37):
of water slowly heated up a little bit, it will
not perceive the danger and will swim around. La la
la la, la la la la la. Slowly you turn
up the heat and eventually you can have that frog.
Put some pepper on that frog, and you can have
frog legs, and it'll be cooked to death. And Major
League Baseball slowly introduced the advertising on uniforms to fans,

(27:03):
all right, so mask up the disease is here social distance.
They started out with a benign Nike patch on the jersey,
so he got a Nike patch over there, rather harmless.
Then they added them, maybe your team has an insurance
patch on the uniform. And now they have the helmet
on the the sticker on the helmet, batting helmet there

(27:25):
and you mark my words, it's not going to stop
with the sticker on the helmet. And they can get
a major company or even a minor company to cut
them a jack. It's gonna be like Ricky Bobby from
talligated Talladega Knights, right, they'll be they'll be pimping everything, right,
They'll be like NASCAR. They'll be out there with ads
all over the uniform. The dream I remember years ago,

(27:48):
I had a conversation with a sports executive, not a
baseball executive, from another sport who said the dream in
America was to get how how soccer is? Have you
seen the soccer jerseys where they don't even have like
the team logo, They just put across the chess plate
the name of the company, and like people that liked

(28:08):
that sport of soccer support that and they like buy
the jerseys. How crazy is that? And the people in
American sports years and this is many years ago, were
very upset. They're like, we want to be like that,
and we want to sell right across the chess plate
advertising to Tesla or American Airlines, and they're they're upset
they weren't able to do that. But they're slowly moving

(28:30):
towards that model. Are They're moving slowly towards that that position.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
Here we go, Here we gotler? How about that?

Speaker 2 (28:44):
To the third degree? This is one big event gets grilled.

Speaker 4 (28:51):
During the first half of the Broncos win against the Jets,
bo Nicks was having a historically bad performance. Well, the
second half was better, over it's still pretty awful. Ben,
Do you foresee any scenario in which Sean Payton would
make a change at quarterback this season?

Speaker 1 (29:07):
No, because as long as bo Nix is showing signs
of improvement, which by the way, he's not right now,
but they're gonna do everything they can to keep him
out there because once they make that change. Who are
they gonna go to Jared Stidham. He's not much better,
and I don't think Zach Wilson is any better. He's
a preseason August guy. So they got to continue down

(29:28):
this path now where it does get a little bit dicey.
If the Broncos can squeeze together a few more wins
and end up in the wild card race. Once you
get down to week seventeen or eighteen, then it becomes
even more interesting. But at this point I'm gonna go no.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
Next and Jordan Love's first game back from injury, the
Packers looked like they were gonna be blown out by
the Vikings. However, Green Bay outscored in Minnesota twenty two
to three in the second half to make it interesting. Ben,
do you think the Packers can still help to win
the NFC North.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
Yes, I mean, the Vikings are playing great right now,
but you still don't trust Sam Darnold. There's always the
injury thing that pops up and all that. The Viking
has been very impressive, but I wouldn't I wouldn't guarantee
anything after four weeks of the season. We'll see how
they do in London next.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
Through four weeks of the season, Texans wide receiver Nico
Collins is on pace to be the first player ever
to have two thousand receiving yards in a season. Stopped
me if you heard this before? Ah?

Speaker 7 (30:21):
Yeah, man, do you think it can happen?

Speaker 8 (30:23):
Well?

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Every year, it's whether it's the Fon Diggs one year,
or Cooper Kopp or player X last year was Pooka Nukua.
I always go know, because you got injuries, you got
a lot of other factors. How do we do cool?

Speaker 7 (30:38):
He passes it in at the buzzer.

Speaker 1 (30:40):

Speaker 7 (30:42):
Why the buzzer?

Speaker 8 (30:44):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (32:00):

Speaker 1 (32:01):
This is a highly produced segment of radio right there.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
It's on your screen.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
That is not a question.

Speaker 7 (32:07):
That's not a question.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
Let me read it.

Speaker 7 (32:09):
It's a comment. She wants me to read a compliments.
I was like, wow, okay, yeah, that wasn't it.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
Sorry, it was this one.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Here's what you do.

Speaker 7 (32:22):
See your thoughts.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
That's all your thoughts.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
It says good morning.

Speaker 7 (32:28):
You know I'm gonna read it now.

Speaker 4 (32:29):
No, no, she just stole my phone.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
All right.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
It says good morning, Queen of Hearts. Me and my
wife have been married for thirty three years. Our sex
life is good, but pretty vanilla. My wife doesn't like
to experiment much. How can I change her mind?

Speaker 3 (32:50):
Okay? I had the same issue with my baby daddy
back when I was very young, and every time I
tried to bring up something new to the like relationship,
he would be like, oh my gosh, who's putting these
ideas in your head? And it would always be a
negative conversation. So my experience, Okay, go in easy, bring

(33:12):
it up as as a fun idea. Maybe put her
in the driver's seat. What is something you would like
to try that's new. And I know it's awkward and uncomfortable,
but once again, you obviously seem a little unsatisfied, and
unsatisfaction leads to string outside of a marriage. And if
that's not what you guys are into, definitely communicate, and
you know, maybe just slip a toy in every now
and then. Don't even tell her, Just be like, hey, baby,

(33:33):
I brought this and she's gonna love it. Be fun
with it.

Speaker 7 (33:35):
Have fun.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
That's what your relationships meant to be.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
That's what Eddie often says too. That's his advice, all right,
have fun with it? Yeah? Or the other thing stuck
in Sacramento rites In says Miss Lorraine, my girlfriend farts
in her sleep? God, how do I tell her without
embarrassing her? It's really bad. I can't even sleep in sacrifice.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
Well, it's you know, it's a natural thing, body as
I'm sure you do it too, if you want to
be yeah, if you want to have fun with it.
I actually have had friends who have recorded their significant
others and like played it back, like do you realize
what you're doing when you're sleeping? And uh? But I
mean you could also do it more gently and just.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Tell her she's a fun fact.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Yeah, what's a fun fact?

Speaker 4 (34:19):
Then?

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Every human being fart's at least fourteen times a day.
Many of them are silent assassins. Interesting not you don't
hear the rumbley tumbley you just happened.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
It seems like a lot. I think a lot of
you need to get your fact.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
You know, No, every human being at least fourteen it's
a very natural thing. It means you're alive fourteen times.

Speaker 9 (34:42):
I've heard lead a lap is at fifty.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
That's what I'm saying, Like this, let me all got
bad gut issues.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Well, as you know, it's an average. So there's probably
some people that fart maybe two times a day, and
then Lee's like fifty times a day, and so it
evens out.

Speaker 7 (34:53):
Bute, we love you, Lee.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
Should we take the phone call or do more?

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Well, we have more questions, but if you Scott is
in Seattle, Hello, Scott, welcome, Hello, Hello, say hello to Lorena.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
Hi, Scott, what can I help you with?

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Well, I'm my my significant other passed away last year
and I'm just now getting back out into the dating.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
Right, good for you, And I have three or four.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Young ladies that I've been speaking with. H Okay, I
can't choose.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
They're all They're all.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
Great, right, So this is what you do and listen.
DA is really hard, and the Bachelorette is really popular
right now, and the Bachelor is really popular. So I
think you need to really ask the serious questions and
see which one is actually into you for the long
term and for a serious relationship. If you're here to

(35:55):
have fun, take them all along and don't tell any
of them you're talking to anyone else. But if you
really are looking for love again, yeah, make sure you're
asking the right questions because you want to find which
one is actually going to be there for you.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
In the low.

Speaker 3 (36:07):
My advice, some of them are aware, all right, you
keep on doing you.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
My advice, Scott would be to get a pipe and
a silk smoking jacket and just walk around. That's what
I will.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
Your name is now Hugh Hefna and you got some bunnies.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
You got to get. Yeah, the grotto, that grotto.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
Good luck on your dating life.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Good luck there's Scott. There you go. What's next to you?

Speaker 3 (36:33):
Who asked about the fingernail clippings?

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Oh ferg dogs is would it be romantic or creepy
a Sunday my toenail clippings to a girl?

Speaker 7 (36:41):
I like, I think you.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
Should be a lot weirder if you're going to go
that route. I think you should send her pictures that
you took of her through her like window of her
bedroom and leave nail clippings along her windowsills so that
she knows that you've been there, you know what I mean,
And maybe write a little note in the side with
a knife that says thinking of you. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
Inspite of horror movie, I gotta point out, by the
way we got Pugh Heffner's name, I was the only
guy in La Radio that was not invited to the
Playboy Man in the nineties. I'm so pissed off about that.
Cowboy Killer writes in says is it unattractive of a
guy plays video games? We seem to get this.

Speaker 3 (37:19):
We get this all the time. Stop playing video games.
You have so much better things you can do with
your time. If you are not taking care of your
women one hundred percent, shut up, Coop, then you need
to be doing better.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Boss all right? Another one from him, He says, do
women prefer toxic men? Are nice guys?

Speaker 7 (37:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (37:42):
